Z - I),e LONDON: TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1540. There was a considerable number of petitions for and against the Corn-laws, presented in the House of Lords last night, and those petitions excited a little sparring and some exhibitions. Their Lordships are touched. It is not in human nature to submit, un moved, to the contumely now heaped on the landown ers. They cannot help wincing under it. The Earl of CLARENDON supported a petition for the Repeal. The Duke of RICHMOND comp!ained of those who set the agricultural interest against the manufacturing. Why, then, does he make a Corn-law ? He relies on the Scotch farmers, but they know that the Corn-laws are not for their advantage, and will not petition for them. Lord ASHBURTON was testy. The Earl of RADNOR corrected him. The conversation shows that the Lords begin to feel that every petition for the Repeal of the Corn-laws contains a sting. Lord FITZGERALD in presenting a petition against the Irish Municipal Bill, avowed his intention to support • ' which made the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who we presume means to oppoie it, reproach the Noble , Lord with inconsistency. A. little conversation took place on the Scotch Church, which will interest our readers in Scotland. The Earl of ABERDEEN reproached the Ministers with not undertaking to settle the quarrel betwixt. the Scotch Church and the Scotch Courts, which Lord MEL BOURNE. though his declaration was not so explicit as that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the other House, de clines. The Noble Viscount sneered a little at the obstinacy with which the Kirk and the Courts have car ried on the fray, and seems inclined to allow them to settle it as they best can. In answer to Lord WYNFORD, the Marquis of NOR- M &Nair stated that he would confine the number of Police Magistrate s to twenty-seven, but he declined to insert a clause to that effect in the Police Courts Bill, which was reported. The Bishop of ExETER postponed his motion about the Clergy Reserves till this day. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. In the Commons, in consequence of Mr. VILLIERS' option being expected to come on to-day, the House devoted an extra quarter of an hour to receiving peti tions concerning the Corn-laws, which were accordingly presented in groat numbers. In answer both to Mr. HUME and Mr. HUTT, Sir JAMES GRAHAM doggedly refused to state the nature of his motion concerning China, which the Right Hon. Baronet is to bring forward on the 6th of April. On Thursday week, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to move for leave to bring in two Bills to amend and continue the Poor-law. In answer to Sir R. PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated explicitly that the Government did not mean to bring forward any measure to settle the dispute between the Scotch Kirk and the Courts, but to wait and see what might be done by the General Assembly. In answer to Mr. GOULBURN, the CHANCELLOR of the EICUEQUER said it was his intention to continue the Assessed Taxes Composition. In answer to Sir JonN WALSH, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he meant not to call Mr. Sheriff EvANS again to the bar till after Easter. Mr. AGLIONBY called the attention of the House to the Ludlow Electien, and moved for leave to bring in a Bill to legalize the proceedin g s, but the House was satisfied that the proceedings were regular, and the motion was negatived. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the consideration of her Majesty's message, and also moved that the Com mons would enable her Majesty to grant Lord SEATON 2,0001. a-year. The Noble Lord complimented Lord SEATON very highly for his services. Sir R. PEEL seconded the motion, and bore testi mony to the great civil, as well as military, mer i ts o f Lord SEATON. Mr. flumE resolutely condemned Lord SEA.TON'S policy in Canada, declared that the vote was uncalled or, and that he would oppose it. Sir H. HARDINUE heard Mr. HUME'S speech with regret, and praised the services of Lord SEATON. Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. HAWES supported Mr. HUME, but on a division the grant was carried by 82 to 16. In a Committee on the Admiralty Court Bill Mr. HUME moved to substitute 3,0001. for 4,0001., the salary of the Judge. Colonel SIBTHORP consistently sup ported the motion, but that, too, was carried against Mr. HUME on a division by 83 to 17. The question of the Sergeant-at-Arms and the Printed Papers, is to be taken into consideration to day, the first thing after private business. The Exchequer Bills Public Works Bill went through a Committee. In a Committee on the Tobacco Excise Alt, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER moved resolutions to repeal the regulations with regard to that article. He proposed to do away with the system of surveys and permits, but he will not enter into details till after Easter. The resolutions were agreed to, and a Bill is to be brought in. This is, we believe, one step to wards improvement. In a similar Committee on the Glass Excise Acts the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER moved a resolution to levy the same duty on broad sheet glass as on crown glass, which was agreed to. Tile Constabulary Bill, after a conversation, was read a second time. Sir E. KNATCHBULL gave notice that he would move to refer it to a Select Committee. The second reading of the Beer Bill was postponed. The Law of Evidence (Scotland) Bill went through a Committee, after some little opposition on the part of Sir W. RAE. The House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. We said on Saturday,in speaking of Lord STAN LEY'S Bill, that his Lordship might cure the little sore of the Irish Registries, but he would throw the patient into convulsions. Visible symptoms have already supervened of this dreadful disease. Lord ST &NLEY S success is described in the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday, as " the first signal of universal agitation." " Yes," it says, "we must agitate in every county—in every town—in every parish in the kingdom. We shall not tamely sub mit, , to this time injury." That, however, is not the only symptom. Mr. O'CONNELL has pub lished a letter to the Duke of LEINSTER, elabo rately setting forth all the political evils under which Ireland still labours, such as having to sup port a Church which is not that of the majority of the people ; being yet refused a searching Corpora tion Reform, which has been granted to England ; having received a much less measure of Parliamen tary Reform than was granted to Scotland and England, involving a franchise limited and cur tailed in a' - manner most degrading to Ireland ; anti finally he comes to the Bill of Lord STANLEY, and thus he speaks of it : " One would have imagined, my Lord Duke, that the most inveterate enemy who ever inflicted a grievance upon Ireland would be contented with all the insulting injustice and iniquity resulting from the Reform Bill; the limited franchise, and the vexatious registry. There was one ad vantage remaining—one solitary advantage ; when the voter was once registered he continued on the registry for eight years. For eight years the toil, the trouble, the vexation, expense, and intimidation of a registry sessions could not be visited upon him. " This was the one, the single, the solitary advantage in the entire system. Lord Stanley thinks this 0110 advan tage one too many for the Irish people to enjoy. He frames his Registration Bill. A vicious ingenuity to destroy the franchise pervades every clause of that Bill. He puts in motion every enemy that Ireland has ; English, Scowl], or—worse than all—lrish. " Nothing can keep him from another attack upon the Irish people. The spirit of the Coercion Bill revives. He sacrifices every delicacy I all the charities of social life. The illness of a venerable, venerated parent, can not detain him from his assault upon Ireland. There is no sacredness in private sorrow that can keep him from working out his mischief against us. The Government manfully arid firmly resist the attack; but the activity of hatred to the people of Ireland and to their religion stimu lates our enemies. Some foolish conviction that the mis chief was too manifest, too glaring, too enormous to bo tolerated in the House, detained some of the Irish Mem bers and some of the English Liberals from the debate. Lord Stanley triumphs; and another grievous blow is thus inflicted on the rights and liberties of the Irish people. " Lord Stanley's Bill is a monstrous contrivance of mischief First, it takes away at one blow all the vested rights of the existing registered votes of Ireland." Mr. O'CoNNELL then enumerates the other mischiefs which he conceives the Bill will cause, and concludes— " I have stated enough to show that the object of this Bill is to annihilate the franchise of the occupying tenantry of Ireland, and to place the nomination of our Members in the bands of—to say the least of the great majority of them— a most ungenial aristocracy. " It is with the moat unfeigned respect I ask your Grace, is it possible the union can continue it this Bill should pass into law ? Or, if it shall continue—if sanctioned by your Grace's countenance, and that of your friends, the popular voice of Ireland be for ever extinguished—is it not mani fest that disaffection, discontent, and turbulence must per vade the island ? And that land which now tranquilly re poses in its confidence of the pure intentions and patriotic motives of the Irish Government and the British Ministry, will, once again, be converted into a scene of destruction, desolation, and bloodshed. I will not, my Lord Duke, venture to prophesy what may be the ultimate consequences. I recoil from the pro spect of futurity with horror and affright." Lord STANLEY may at least boast of the power of his nostrum and the quickness of its operation. Prussic acid is not more quick nor mote deadly. A more ready mischief-maker never hatched a se dition nor administered a poison. The evil is apparent. Why is it to be inflicted on the country ? His , Lordship's motives, and the motives of his parts, are of the most limited, personal, and selfish description. He is a landowner, and he avows that his Bill is to give his class more power over the elections. It is to enable the property of the Protestant or Orange landowner to have an un controlled power over the people. The tenantry are no longer to have a will distinct from that of their lords. Lord STANLEY wishes to introduce a new system of feudal vassalage. Besides this most despicable class motive, his Lordship is an avowed rival of Mr. O'CONNELL. e The d wbole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have Since 1830 it has been his great object to destroy reached jun Tuse iteu.hr eycontain very little news of any kind. the Liberator's p ower , a nd h e now hypocritically In Paris ianthwe find followingar by l official c t ia ie l , sets about it under the guise of a love of morality contradiction of the alleged declaration of war and hatred of perjury.

We rejoice to see Lord ASHBURTON, night after night, working himself up into a rage against the Corn-law agitators. He is fairly caught in the toils of ALEXANDER BARING, and, foam and fict as he may, he wilt be dragged in them through the country as a cutious monster for a public show. Last night the old merchant and new landowner found out, contrary to the complaints of every class in the country, that there had been of late years of prosperity. When ? Was it in 1835, when the agriculturists were half of them bankrupt, and when Mr. CAYLEY, in the name of the landowners, threatened almost rebellion, unless the Legislature did something to relieve them ? Or was it in 1836 and 1837, when the abundance of 1835 had set speculation on foot which ended in the American crash ? Lord ASHBURTON must have been asleep if he do not know that the country has been tossed from side to side, from stagnation to over-trading, now bewildered with its load, unable to move, and again toiling and panting with exertion, so thatit has been for years in a most uneasy economical condition. It has been carried through this troublesome time . by successive abolitions of taxation, which year after year has set loose some of the energies of the people, and enabled them to bear up against the re maining taxes imposed for the State and imposed for the landlords. Now the State can remit no more taxes, and now the combined load of the State and the landlords is crushing the nation. Lord ASHBURTON last night, too, broached a new doctrine. Admitting that prosperity had existed under the Corn-law, the Noble Lord said that if it were accused of causing distress, it ought to re ceive credit for prosperity. What influence had it, let us ask, in causing the ingenuity of our manufacturers, or the skill of our artizans ? Is the Corn-law the parent of the steam engine, and is the increase of our commerce owing to a statute which annihilates trade? That a re striction on industry promotes prosperity, which is natural to man, is a perfectly new doctrine, which ALEXANDER BARING, when he presented the pe tition of the Merchants of London for free trade in 1820 would have indignantly scouted, though it be worthy of the imbecility of Lord ASHBURTON. There - has been, we admit, alternations of distress; the agriculturists have suffered at one period, and the manufacturers at another. A fertile season in England has allowed the population at one time to go a-head, and at another, an un fruitful year, has starved them down to the quan tity of food our own land could provide for their subsistence. In the language of ALEXANDER BARING, on February 22, 1815, the regulations of the selfish landlords have "cut down our popula tion to suit our corn, instead of regulating the supply of corn by our population." " They have not lengthened the bed to the man, but they have shortened the man to the bed." Then the Mer chant knew that there was no limit to the perse verance of human industry, to which he then as cribed that prosperity he now ascribes to a law which cuts down our population to our corn. Then the Merchant described it as an " absurd principle," " to force what gentlemen called an independent supply," though now the Lord is for maintaining this absur dity,and for cutting "down the population," to suit the landlords' pocket. Men and women of England, we use Lord ASHBURTON'S language when we tell you that the Corn-law " cuts down population," that is, in homely English, murders infants, and the aged, and the weakly, not by that process of painless extinction, recommending which raised such a well deserved censure against " MA Rcus" last year, but by the slow, lingering, and painful process of starvation. If the propositions of MARCUS made the blood boil, and the heart throb—what ought the practices of the land-owning law-makers to cause, who carry his beastly propositions into actual effect, as asserted by Lord ASHBURTON, in a most revolting and cruel manner ? When we said yesterday that Lord MELBOURNE did not understand this question, it was from a conviction that he has never considered it under the new aspect in which Mr. BARING exhibited it as " cutting down the .population." From the . mo ment that the indig nant * denunciations in The Sun of the Corn-laws, tonna an answering echo in Man chester,Edinburgh, and Leeds, the Corn-laW ceased to be a question of economical science, and be. came one of stern morality. It admits of no com promise, it will tolerate no middle course. It is a question of right or wrong, and though the deductions of political economy—though sta tistical researches—though observations on the currency, confirm the moral view, and supply an admirable illustration that justice and expediency always go hand in hand, from the mo ment that the question was taken up on moral and religious grounds, the observations of experience and the deductions of science might confirm, but could never thwart or impair, the fervent and wide spread conviction that those laws ought to be to tally and immediately repealed. Who, when a ques tion of murder is under consideration, suffers his judgment to be swayed by the intruded consi deration .of whether the murderer got a jacket more or less by his crime ? The Corn law repeal has become a great moral question for our people, and the poor considerations urged by Lord MELBOURNE prove that he has never sounded its depth. Let him consult the proceedings of the Delegates yesterday—let him ponder over the lan guage of Mr. BROOKES, and he will become sensi ble that the Corn-law agitation can only terminate in the extinction of the law, though the Ministry, and the Aristocracy, and the Church perish with it. cebuen of the disappearance of Father Thomaso, the Superior of the Spanish convent in that city. They con tain no new facts of importance to the case beyond what we have already stated, but they convey a most lamentable and heart-rending account of the abominable tortures and pet secutions to which the superstition of the inhabitants, tolerated, if not encouraged, by the authorities, has caused the unoffending Jewish population to be sub j. eted. The principal persons of that persuasion, men of the greatest respectability, and rabbins, have been incarcerated ; sixty-four childre n o f J ew i s h families have been thrown into dungeons, in the hope of ex torting confessions ; and numerous people of the lower classes, especially a barber, have been subjected to the torture, with cruelty that reminds one of the worst days of the middle ages. Notwithstanding all this, no clue what ever to the disappearance of Father Thomaso has been ob tained, and the parties imprisoned persist, one and all, in earnestly declaring their innocence in, or ignorance of, the matter. The only: accusations have been made by the barber, under the most excruciating extremities of corporal suffering, which may be judged from this single specimen —that on a compressing instrument being applied to his head and temples, his eye-balls started from their sockets, and his beard turned white, from the agony he endured. All, however, that he could say was, that he had seen Father Thomaso walking in one of the streets of the Jew's quarter with ten of the principal inhabitants. By the Iberia steamer, which ar r i ve d a t F a l mou th o n Sunday, we have received Lisbon papers of the 23d of March inclusive. Instead of making any generous ex ertion to satisfy the long-neglected claims of British creditors, the Portuguese Government has started new objections to a speedy settlement —resuscitated old fic titious counter claims—and even seeks to shelter itself under the opinions of Don MIGUEL'S law officers. Of the ingratitude of the Portuguese Government some notion may be formed from the fact of its being now urged against the claims of the gallant British soldiers who placed Queen DONNA MARIA on the Throne, that England has not yet satisfied Portugal for damages done in that country by the British army fighting fur the existence of Portugal, as an independent State, under the Duke of WELLINGTON! We expect that the next claim s et up will be for d amages sus t a i ne d, i n consequence of the gallant achievements of Captain NAPIER, Lieutenant-General Sir J. M. DOYLE, Col. SHAW, and their brave companions in arms, when fight ing by the side of Don PEDRO to enforce the claims of the reigning Sovereign. But such a system of frau dulent prevarication as the Portuguese Government has for many years carried on, with regard to these claims, will not be endured by England much longer. If the just claims of British subjects are not speedily adjusted, we believe it is the intention of the British Govern ment to compel their effectual settlement. The blockade of the Tagus for a few weeks would work a wonderful revolution in the opinion of the brawlers who now de light in nothing but foaming about a war with England to protect the Slave Trade. And it is ' very clear that to some such a measure our Government must resort at last. Negotiation with such a people seems to us out of the question. Some of their pre tended claims prove that they are dead not only to a sense of g ratitude but of shame. Were they put forth by the Bonapartist party in France they would be at least intelligible; but, in the case of Portugal, they are, we believe, without precedent in the annals of na tional ingratitude. . . . The reported Portuguese vessels fired into by the Columbine, on the coast of Africa, regarding which such an outcry was raised in the Portuguese Journals, have turned out to be Brazilian slavers, bearing the Portuguese flag. Before a gun was levelled at them they forcibly resisted the right of search, fired upon the Columbine's boats, and, in running ashore to get rid of their human cargo, landed some of their guns, with which the crews fired upon the Columbine from the beach. Under such circumstances the conduct of the commander of the Columbine was what we would have expected from a British naval officer. The general election was proceeding without the slightest symptom of public disorder. It was the pre vailing opinion that the Government would have a ma jority in the ensuing Cortes. We published yesterday an excellent letter from Mr. Simpson, on the rapid progress of the Temperance movement in Ireland. The frequent intercourse which that gentleman has with the people of Ireland, from his professional avocations in that country, and the attention which he has evidently paid to the subject, entitle his observations to the serious attention of the public. This movement forms a new era in the history of Ireland, and not the least remarkable feature of the character of the peasantry. It cannot fail to increase the security of property and to encourage the introduc tion of manufactures, ana on these accounts the infor mation contained in the letter is highly valuable. VACCINATION.—The Bill brought from the Lords to the Commons on this subject enacts, that it shall be lawful for Poor-law Guardians to contract with their medical officers for the vaccination of all persons who may come to them for that purpose ; that they shall give due notice of. the days on which the medical officers will attend ; and toot the medical men shall make stated reports to the Guardians of the number of persons vac cinated, to be transmitted to the Poor-law Commis sioners. In case any medical men who have entered into contrac - s with Guardians should not be willing to make a further contract on the terms mentioned, the Guardians may contract with others. The law to ap ply to Ireland. Clause 10 enacts. that %ny person, not qualified by law to practice as physician, apothecary, or surgeon, who shall inoculate, shall be liable to be impri soned for every such offence for a term not exceeding one calendar month, with or without hard labour. Qualified persons are to make a quarterly report of the persons inoculated by them, to be transmitted to the Poor-law Commissioners. CORN-LAW PETITIONS.--The number of petitions for a repeal of the Corn-laws up to March 20, was 377, with 279,907 signatures, average number of sig natures to each petition 742. The number of petitions for preserving the Corn-laws to the same date was 448, with 27,269 signatures; average number of signa tures to each petition 60. According to this propor tion, the pro-Corn-law men must get up twelve times as many petirions, as the anti-Corn-law men, to equal them in the number of signatures. When it is re collected that the pro-Corn-law petitions are promoted and signed by the landlords and clergymen, whose in fluence in each agricultural parish is about equal to the sinister interest they have in preserving the Corn laws ; that the bulk of the tenants who sign such peti tions are very dependent on the landowners and tithe owners, that they take their opinions of public affairs from them, and give their suffrages at the hustings as their lords require ; and when it is recollected that the majority of workmen, shopkeepers, and masters who sign the anti-Corn-law petitions, are in political matter, much more independent that the farmers, and much better informed, it may be affirmed that the anti- Corn-law petitions are as much superior to the pro- Corn-law petitions, that is twelve times, for the motives and intelligence as they are for the number of the sub scribers. The pro-Corn-law petitions can only be con sidered as petitions of land and tithe-owners to land and tithe-owners. In other words, though got up to make a show, they are no more like valid petitions than a bundle of rags tied on a stick in a pea field, is like a living man. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.

OLYMPIC THEATRE. —At this house last night, after the performance of The Ladies' Club, and Bar nard's interesting burletta The Happiest Man Alive, a new Piece, entitled The Bald Head, was played for the first, and, it may be most probably predicted, the last time, should the very equivocal reception which it met with from the more discern. log portion of the audience have its due influence with the ma nagement. Its name was rather ominous ; for a production more bare of dramatic incident or interest, well turned or Pointed dialogue, or one more utterly devoid of anything even approaching to an attempt at wit or humour, it is not possible to conceive. The whole affair, either as a dramatic or literary composition, totally defies criticism. The p iece was not an nounced for re petition, notwithstanding that the author had some injudi c i ous a dmire a s amongst the gods . OYSTER FISHERIES. --A Bill has been brought into the H ouse o f Commons for the better protection of the Oyster Fi s h er i es i n Scotland. It is in substance the same with that pas se d f or E ng l an d in the reign of George IV., and enacts that eve ry person w h o s hall knowingly steal oysters from oyster beds, the property of others, shall be deemed guilty of theft , present and puni she d wording y. That every person dredging f or oysters, though none be taken, shall be punished by fine or im prisohment—the fi ne n ot to exceed 201., and the imprisonment threeany person m and catching, a lso, that o r fishingnot i nothing g for, in the floating Act shall to ee not fish with nets or engines adapted for such a purpose. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) 1 lIUNGERFORD MARKET. A fair business done, and prices were very uniform, w'th previous quotations. Turbot, Bs. to 225. ; Cod, 3s. to 12s. Salmon, 3s. to 3s. 6d per lb.; Soles, Is. to 4s. 6d. Beef, 7W. to 81d. ; Mutton, 71d. to 81d. ; Neal, Bd. to 9d. ; Pork, 'Yid. to bid. per lb. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. The supplies were moderate, and there was a fair demand; prices much as before. Turbot 6s. to 21s. Cod 3s. to 10s. Soles 10d. to 4s. 6d. per pair. Salmon 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. Mackerel sd. to 10d. Whitings 4d. to Bd. Haddocks 6d. to ls. 2d. HAY MARKET. There were but moderate supplies, and the demand was good. Hay 60s. to 100 s. ; Clover 90s. to 120 s. ; Straw 325. to 445. per load. TALLOW MARKET. This department was quiet, and the nearest price of P.Y.C. was 51s. 9d. TEA MARKET. Scarcely any thing done, and the market was as flat as pos sible. There were buyers of Company's Congou at 23., and sellers at 2s. ld. cash ; but still prices must be regarded as un certain. COLONIAL MARKET. There was a considerable amount of business advertised, but there was no life in the Market. Of B. P. Sugar the sales were rather better, and prices were 583. for brown, to 633., for mid and fine, 68s. to 695. About 5,000 bags Mauritius were put and the bulk sold, but not spiritedly, at 623. to 693. for good qualities. A small quantity of very fine Bengal went at about 703. 2,500 bags Bengal Rice sold in part at about 13s. 6d. for good quality, and 2,000 boxes yellow; and white Havannah Sugar fetched the market prices. 6,000 bags Saltpetre sold mostly at 22s 6d and 25s 6d. 1.500 bags Ceylon Coffee, and 200 of St. Domingo ; but the very flat state of the Tea Market - caused:thUsale of Coffee:to be heavy, but no decline of importance in prices took place. 200 bags Malabar Ginger sold at about 15s. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW WS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Iberia steamer has arrived with mails from Gibraltar, which she left on the 19th of March, Cadiz 20th, Lisbon 23d, Oporto 24th, and Vigo 25th. • The intelligence by the Lisbon mail only relates to the elec tions for the new Cortes, which commenced on the 22d of March, and will take a week before anything of the result is known. From the French papers received this morning :—" The Augsburg Gazette Correspondent from Warsaw,:states, that he was deceived in stating that the Russian expedition had entered Khiva, and adds, that some time must pass before the in telligence can be received, but it appears certain that the frost and snow have caused great losses to the expedition, and from the probability of the bad season being prolonged, it is likely that news may be received of some disasters.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY.- We understand that the Galgate embankment, which is ge nerally considered the heaviest work on the line, is at length finished. Mr. Locke, the engineer of the line, accompanied by the secretary and other gentlemen, made a progress throughout the line a day or two since, and expressed the pleasure they felt at finding the works in so forward a state. No doubt was ex dressed that the line would be opened fir traffic early in the month of June, or indeed even earlier than that if any special occasion existed for the acceleration. Contrary to general report, Mr. Locke found the works at the Preston terminus in a still more forward state than any other parts of the line. The shareholders of the railway are in high spirits at the prospect held out by Mr. Justice Coleridge, of a return of a great por tion of the Assize business to Lancaster from Manchester and other places east of Liverpool, as promising a material in crease to their returns. A special general meeting of the shareholders is called for on Thursday next, to carry out the objects of the Company's Act, which received the Royal Assent on Monday.—Lancaster Guardian.

After dinner the Duchess had a small evening party. ST. LUKE'S, CIIELsEA.-The fantastic freaks of one party swelling in full-blown importance, and the frantic feeling so perpetually displayed by the other in this rate-ridden arid distracted district, has led some persons to suppose that there must be more than a merely nominal relationship be tween the parish of St. Luke's and the Lunatic Asylum so called. The great question which now engages the energies of the publico-parochial functionaries, it seems, is a werkhouse only. The Countess Dalherg Acton and her son, the youthful Sir John Acton, left the Clarendon yesterday, on a visit of a few clays to R. G. Throgniorten, Esq., at his scat near Reading. We are happy to hear that the letters received by yesterday's post from Monaghan, give a more f avoura b le account of the Earl of Rossmore s health than could have been expected from the paragraphs taken from the Irish papers. His Lordship's disorder had at length yielded to the treatment of his physicians, and a favourable change had taken place, and his Lordship's gradual recovery was looked forward to. Lord Enniskillen, who has been in a delicate state for the last three weeks at Florence Court, is convalescent. Mr. Leader, M.P., who was among the absent Whig Radicals on the division on Lord Stanley's Irish Registra tion Bill, is in Paris, and does not purpose returning to this country until Easter.
