A man attired in a blue jacket and trousers, with a belt round his body, in which were a brace of pistols and a cutlass, was brought before Mr. MINSHULL, the Magistrate, charged under the following circumstances : The accused has, for several days past, paraded the Strand, and other public thoroughfares in the metropolis, dressed as above described, with the addition of a printed bill in his hat, upon which was inscribed in large letters, " Preventive Service." His singular, and to all appearance, dangerous aspect, caused crowds to follow him, and at intervals he halted, and declared that he could cure the cholera morbus, or any other morbus in a short space of time, provided the purchasers of a cer. Lain preventive attended to his instructions. A description of his person was communicated to the police station by an individual who described him to be a dangerous man to be at large, and this morning he was observed by one of the corps in the Strand, surrounded by a vast crowd. He was consequently apprehended, and when brought before the Magistrate, was asked who and what lie was. Previous to which, however, he was deprived of his pistols and cutlass, lest he should commence hostilities against the Bench. On inspection, the pistols turned out to be two pieces of wood with till locks, similar to childrens' toys, and his cutlass was made of the same material. The production of the weapons caused much amusement. The defendant declared he did not intend to do the slightest mischief. He had unfortunately become poor, and was till lately allowed five shillings per week by the parish of St. Mar tins-in-the-Fields, but was some short time since recommended to a quack doctor, who gave him two shillings a day to pro pagate his nostrums, and the better to gull the public, he dressed him in the uniform he then appeared in. Mr. MINSHULL good humouredly told him to go home and give the toys to some children, and never be found again in the streets under similar circumstances. The defendant having thanked the Magistrate retired. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The premises were crowded during the whole of yesterday afternoon, the sale of Mr. Maberly's racing stud having col lected together a large number of sporting men of every grade. On the termination of the sale the betting became pretty brisk. Beiram and Spencer were alternately first on the list, and odds were more than once laid on each of them at the close Beiram had half a point the best of the betting. The Pastille colt was reported lame--and, as a matter of course, is gone for both Stakes. Emiliana is still on the decline for the Oaks, but very little is done on this Stakes.

In future the King's Guineas will not be given unless three reputed race horses start belonging to different parties. This alteration has been long required, and now we shall probably have" fields" for these popular prizes, instead of seeing one horse " walk over" for plate after plate, as has been the case for many years past (last year, Jacko, a third-rater, won, or received, five plates ; Skylark, six, and Mount Eagle, four.) We would suggest to Lord Albermarle the propriety of altering the weights, which are now much too heavy for racehorses; the plates should also be open to three years olds, as at Good wood.

CITY, T tVEL VE 0' CLOCK. We have accounts from Vera Cruz to the3dFeb;;;;,.via France, which state that General Calderon, with a corps of about 3,000 men, and some pieces of artillery, was within three days' march of the above town, and that General St. Anna, on his part, was making every exertion to defend the place; he caused to be evacuated the convents of St. Francis and St. Au gustine, which he was going to fortify. The Vice-President had accepted the resignation of the Ministers, but the Chambers were opposed to this measure, as being against the interests of the country, and they still continued in their functions. At the time of the departure of the ship Esteva, no movement had taken place in the interior. It appears that they had refused Mr. O'Gorman, the English Consul, to enter Vera Cruz, saying he had come to bribe the Governor. But by the latest advice there still appeared hopes that the affairs would be amicably adjusted. THE FUNDS. The only arrival of importance this morning is the Dutch mail of Saturday, which brings the Dutch Stock near one per cent. lower, 40 15-16. The private letters attribute this decline to the King of Holland still continuing obstinate. Other ac counts state, that he will nut conform until he knows the event of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. Should this be his motive, no doubt he will be agreeably surprised on reading last night's debate. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left otf yesterday, 821 for Account. In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock has lowered to 4234 ; in other Foreign Securities nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Consols have been during the whole of the morning at 83 }si % for the Account, and 83 M % for Money. The specu lators are anxiously waiting for the second reading of the Re form Bill, as until after that period no speculations of magni. tude are expected to take place. In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock has rather improved since the early part of the morning, and may be quoted 42% 4. The new Committee has been chosen at the Stock Exchange this morning; eight or nine of the old ones have retired, and the same number of new ones elected. THREE 0' CL 0 CK.

The Gilbert Henderson, Tate, from Dublin to St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, which put into Belfast Lough, proceeded from thence on her voyage on the 20th inst., after being surveyed and found not to make water as was reported. From the circumstance of the Duke of Cum berland's proxy not being used against Earl Grey in the division in the Lords on Thursday last, the report gains credit that his Royal Highness is either determined to abandon politics alto gether, or to pursue a new course of action respecting them.— News. Last night the expected presentation of the Reform Bill to the House of Lords naturally enough excited a good deal of attention, and a considerable assemblage of Lords, Commoners, and strangers. Before five o'clock the space in front of the throne was crowded with Members of the House of Commons, and below the bar was also thronged with Mem. bers of the Lower House, so much so that it was with much difficulty that room could be afterwards made for Lord John Russell, attended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and other Members of the House of Commons, to approach their Lordships' bar to present the Bill. The attendance of Lord: was very great on the Ministerial as well as on the Opposi tion benches, and there was a full attendance on the Bishops' bench. The Woolsack, and other seats in the centre of the House, were also crowded. The gallery was crowded, and that part of it allotted to the ladies displayed a very compli mentary attendance. About a quarter after five o'clock it was announced that there was a message from the Com mons. The doors were thrown open, and Lord John Rus sell, attended by the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c., entered, amidst much bustle and a subdued hum of applause. Having delivered the Bill to the Lord Chancellor, and desired their Lordships' approbation of the same, Lord John Russell, and the other Members of the House of Commons then and there attending, did not, according to the usual mode of pro ceeding, retire from the bar, but having made the customary obeisance, and retired one step, they returned to the front of .the bar, and there remained during the conversation that subsequently took place. The Lord Chancellor, on receiving the Bill, deliberately returned from the bar to the Woolsack, holding up the Bill as he went along so distinctly, that it could be well seen by all; he afterward► announced the mes. sage from the Commons, that they had agreed to a Bill " to amend the representation of the people of England," to which they desired their Lordships' concurrence; and he did so in a clear and decided, rather than in a loud tone. The Com moners about the throne—indeed all the spectators—remained during the conversation upon the Bill ; and that conversation was listened to with the greatest, and often almost breathless, attention. A declaration is in the course of circulation for signatures, on the part of the most respectable brokers, dis avowing the practice of taking double commissions, of which the following is a copy :—" An idea having become prevalent (in consequence of recent discussions which have found their way into the public papers) that it has been a general custom with brokers to receive a commission from the parties with whom they have executed the business of their principals, and have therefore not given tot heir employers the whole advantage to which they are fairly entitled, we, the undersigned, declare that we have never, either directly or indirectly, received from any capitalists, or dealers in Government securies or foreign stocks, any commission or allowance in consequence of business transacted with them, but have invariably allowed to our prin. cipals the whole advantage of such transactions." Business in the port of London has not been so stagnant during a similar period, for above a century, as it has been during the last month. Few or no ships are entered out ward, while other ports being open, trade, for the present, is di verted into other channels, or altogether suspended. The disaster, too, is greater, because this is the usual season for ex ports; and hence the Spring orders to the staple manufactories have been arrested. The first result is a deficiency of Custom house receipts ; but the Treasury have been unusually active in collecting arrears, and drawing from stray resources, so as to put the best face on the next quarterly exhibition of revenue. Some Excise differences have, by management, been made to yield an extra 200,000/. or 300,000/. ADELPHI THEATRE..—Last night a new hurletta was produced here, called Nina, or The Bride of a Galley Slave. It was of a very mediocre character. The scene is laid in Leghorn. Considerable disapprobation was expressed throughout the piece; and when Yates came forward, at the end, to announce the repetition of this " unpretending Burletta" till further notice, the Noes mustered very strong, but, as is usual, the Ayes had it. Another new burletta, called The Printer's Devil, being a burlesque on Robert the Devil, was brought out after The Forgery. THE FRENCH PLAYS.—The French actors commenced their performances last night, at the Haymarket Theatre. The entertainments consisted of a vaudeville called La Hane d'une Femme, of the comedy of Les Trois Qv.artiers, and of the vaudeville of Les Cuisinieres. The comedy was the best of the performances. M. Laporte played the accommodat ing M. Despres with great humour, and occasionally provoked an additional laugh by substituting some phrases applicable to the changes which the late revolution has introduced for those which formerly held their place in the dialogue. M. Gamard acted Desrosiers, which be made sufficiently absurd, but which he also somewhat overcharged. Madame Theodore, who ap pears to be a practised actress, and not without merit, played La Marquise d'Olmaee. In the first piece, a Mademoiselle Olivier appeared, for the first time, as Juliette, and although indifferent singing is good enough for the songs of a vaudeville, it should, in all reason, be somewhat better than this lady's. The house was very full. A letter from Paris encloses the following document for regulating the admission of vessels exclusively engaged in carrying passengers into French ports : " ADMINISTRATION OF CUSTOMS. " Paris, March 21, 1832. " Several chambers of commerce having desired that the payment of the tonnage duty by the packets exclusively en gaged in conveying travellers should be regulated, not upon the real burthen of those vessels, as is now done by law of the 27th Vendemaire, 2d year, but at the rate of one ton for each passenger. It is therefore thought right and just to make a dis. tinction between vessels employed in carrying merchandise and those merely conveying passengers. The Ministers of Commerce and Finance having taken this into consideration, Baron Louis issued a regulation on the 13th of this month,—viz., the packets exclusively employed in conveying travellers and their baggage shall pay a tonnage duty at the rate only of one ton for each passenger on board. But the whole tonnage duty will be demanded-1, in case the number of the passengers is equal to or above that of the measured tonnage : 2, or if more passengers are on board than the number declared by the Captain at the Custom.house ; or if any passengers be landed clandestinely, before the packet arrives, who were not included in the Cap. tain's report; 3, in case the packet, bringing only passengers, shall take back any quantity whatever of merchandise." --• [ADVER T IS EMEN T.] The Newspaper Agent who sends the Morning Chronicle to the Lion and Dol phin and the Cap and Stocking Inns, Leicester, is requested to send that Journal with more regularity. A similar request is also necessary to the Agent who supplies George Fordham, Esq., of Royston, that gentleman having lately received other papers instead of the Chronicle. There is no excuse for this substitution and irregularity; the Chronicle being the earliest Journal published on mornings, generally at Five o'clock, and is kept on sale from that hour until One in the afternoon, from a single paper to any quantity, at the Office, No. 170, Strand. NAIL-ROAD BETWEEN LIMERICK AND CARRICK-ON-SUIR.—We understand that Mr. William Bold, civil engineer, is now, by orders of Government, inspecting the line of this intended railway, as at present contemplated, be tween the towns of Tipperary and Carrick.on-Suir. This im portant national work, which will run from the districts bor dering the Shannon to the deep water at Carrick-on-Suir on the east, will afford a ready transit for all kinds of agricultural produce to the ports of England. The portion of the country which the railway traverses, is unparalleled for fertility, and will, we have no doubt, be attended with beneficial results to all the southern districts of Ireland.— Tipperary Free Press. DUEL.—OltTuesday, a duel took place i n the vicinity of Northallerton, between two young gentlemen, the one a gallant son of Neptune, and the other a classical student for the honours of Esculapius. After exchanging shots without effect, the seconds interfered, but the parties could not be brought to terms of reconciliation, therefore a second dis charge took place, when the Doctor was wounded on the right hand, his pistol fell from his grasp, and the contest ended. A young lady " of high attainments and beauty," was the inno cent cause of this act of juvenile gallantry. STEAMING EXTRAORDINARY.--.His Ma jesty's packet Dolphin, Captain Smithit, arrived in Kingston harbour yesterday morning, having succeeded in making the passage from Liverpool in less than twelve hours. Taking into consideration the disadvantages of a heavy sea and a strong head wind, with which she had to contend during the night, this will be allowed to be perhaps the most extraordinarily ex peditious passage which has been made between this port and Liverpool.—DeLlin Freeman's Journal, Friday. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The proceedings in the House of Lords last night wll produce a great sensation throughout the coun try. The people may see from them with tolerable distinctness the turn which things will take with r: • ference to the Reform Bill. The Reform Bill hav ing been brought up from the Commons, read a hist time, and ordered to be printed, Earl Grey pro posed Thursday, the sth of April, for the second reading. earl Harrowlsy then rose, and gave a succinct outline of the points wherein the present Bill differed from, and agreed with, the Bill of last y• There were, in his opinion, very material distinctions between the former and the present Bill, and the aitsra tions were unquestionably worthy of ec , nsider ation by their Lordships, and had been wisely introduced by those who had the framing and management of the measure." This opening indicated, with sufficient distinc'- ness, the conclusion at which he would arrive ; but he soon put an end to all doubt on the sebjeer. " Upon the whole (he added) those of their Lordships who might recollect the sentiments which he had ex pressed as to the question of Reform when the measure was under consideration and discussion last year, and heard what he had now stated, would no doubt be 1-d to conclude that he intended to vote for the second reading of the present Bill.—(Hear, heir.) . . . . There were differences in the present Bill, which, all things considered, induced him to think th it it was expe dient that the present Bill should go into a Committee. Their Lordships, therefore, would not he surprised, that, hiving come to the r-solution of voting for the second reading of the present Bill, after having voted I , r the se child reading of the former Bill, that he took this very early opportunity of adverting to his former opinions. He would vote for the second reading of the present Bill, in order to see whether such additional alterations might not be made in the Committee as would enable him finally to vote for its passsng into a law. He would endeavour to propose such amendments, or would support them if pro. posed by others. But if, after all, lie should find it im possible to introduce such amendments as in his opinion would render the Bill one which ought to pass into a law, he should still have an opportunity of opposing it." His Lordship consents to the second reading, irt the hope that he shall succeed in so motlifiing the the Bill in the Committee as to free it from the ob jections he still entertains to it ; and if he do not succeed in this object, he will oppose the third read ing. His Lordship allowed, that though the changes in the Bill were by no means immaterial, lie retracted none of his former opinions on the sub ject of Reform ; and he did not hesitate to state, that if he could with safety oppose Reform a second time, he would not fail to do so. 0:1 this point he made the following most important deelarat ion : " With respect to the general feeling and opinion of the country, he had opposed the Bill of last p ar, in the hope that the arguments which had been used against the mea sure, and the additional time which would be ed for consideration, would have had the influence produ a very important change in the gen , ral servimrtits of the community ; but he was compelled to c , infess that he had been disappointed, and that no such change had taken place.—( Hear, hear, from tip. Op;ersition side.) In the public feting and sentiments gen-rally, whether right or wrong, n,) material change had manifested itself, as far as be could observe." We may judge from this declaration the sort of improvement the Bill would receive from Lord Harroaby, should he have his way. "He and those who concurred with him objected to the while Bill ; but still they thought it better to make some concess-on to public opinion, and to the deela , z=d sense of a majority of the other House, that' to risk the consequences that might result from a continued and derided opposition to Reform. Many infhten tial were of that opinion, and to that degree of compromise, at least, matters had been brought by the opportunity afforded fur reconstdera , ion.(Hear.)" The other Nobleman, who has been so often as sociated with his Lordship as sharing views regard ing this question, Lord Wharncliffe declared " that he also intended to votefor the second reading of the Bill He woul,l "not again refuse to give a second reading to a Bill which had been sent up by so large a majority of the House of Com mons."—(Hear, hear.) His Lerdship declared him self also a Reformer upon compulsion; but he stated more explicitly the degree to which he would carry his opposition in the Committee. " The principles," he ob , eived, " on which it was pro posed to construct this measure of Reform were sftited in the preamble of the Bid; and it the details in anything went beyond the principles stated in the preamble, it would be their Lordships' duty ro reject those' details. He thought it the duty of their Lordship to allow the Bill to go into the Committee, in order to see whether such a compromise might not be made as might render it, under all the circumstances, advisable to pass the Bill. It this should be refused, then their Lordships might reject the Bill. At the same time, he thought it right to state that he would go into Committee fairly and Candidly ; for it would be unfair, and even absurd to go into the Committee for the purpose of completely mutilating the Bill and de stroying its essential principles.—(Hear.) His object would he to go into the Committee candidly and fsitlt ; not for the purpose of mutilation and destruction, but with a sincere desire to have the Bill put in such a s!ate as to render it safe to pass it into a law." His Lordship thought it also necessary to a , sign the opinion of the country as the ground of his yielding, " He and those who concurred with him certainly had serious objections to Reform in the Representa tion; but he was compelled to admit that in this they were not supported by any considerable party in the country."—( Hear.) Lord Wharticliffe was followed by a Spiritual Peer, the Bishop of Lon don, who declared, that if he had been able to at tend when the second reading of the last Bill was moved, "he would most probably have then voted for the second reading. He certainly felt inclined to do so ; not that he entirely approved of the Bill, but that he thought it would be attended with less mis chief to read the Bill a second time than to refuse it." The Right Reverend Father in Gov is also a Re former on compulsion. " He had certainly," he added, " strong objections to some parts of the Bill, and his objections were not altogether removed by the alterations in the present Bib ; but at the same time he was willing to admit that the measure had been liberated from some of the objections which he had felt to the former Bill, though not from all." His Lordship made a declaration still more satisfac tory than Lord Wharncliffe's, with regard to the alterations he wished the Bill to receive in the Coni- mittee. "He thought it (he said) but fair and candid to declare, that he woad not support any Amendment which would so alter the Bill us to mutilate or destroy its essential principles, and by that menus bring it into such a sate that the Commons would ieftiZe to agree to it.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial side.)" Earl Grey "hailed with unfeigned satisfaction the approaching symptoms of a more general agreement upon this subjec ," and observed, that " although he was apprehensive that some al• terations might be proposed to which he could not accede, he would most assuredly give all due con st,deration to the propositions in the true spirit of conciliation." But he would "agree to no altera tions that should be destructive of the essential principle and efficiency of the Bill." His Lordship expressed the satisfaction with which he heard the declarations of Lords Harrowby and Wharncliffe, and more particularly the Bishop of London, who said that he would not in the Committee agree to any amendment that would go to mutilate the Bill, or to disturb the general principles on which it was founded. There is cer airily a cleft be tween Lords Harrowby and Whaincliffe and Earl Grey, which must always keep them considerably :'sunder. This did not escape the notice of the Duke rf Weilington who declared himself as uncompro mising an enemy to Reform as ever. " The Noble Etul (Harrowby)," sod his Grace, "stated he reasons which induced him to depart from the cow se which he had adopted with respect to the former Bill, .r .d had adverted to various diffeiences which existed between -hat Bill and the present. Hut then the Nob!e E4rl at the head of his Majesty's Government insists l that al. though some alteration!: had been made and change ii i t - troduced, yet the Bill was really and truly, an d i n pi eiple, exactly the same measure as t' at whi..t, hail ti n irought up to this anise I ist year, and to wliii•ii heir Lordships had refused to give a second reading. Th was realty the point in the case, and it was the point which their Lordships had now to consider. The question NI . a. not whether some minor alterations had been introJactil into the present 8.11, or whether it differed in some winur
