If he had been candid he would have stated that what are called the fluctuations in England, are, in fact, averages of the whole of England in which the communication is free, and import from Scot land and Ireland is free, while the averages of the foreign places, such as Posen, Prussia, Riga, Trieste, are the averages of very small districts, or even of single towns. He would farther have said that the market, in those towns and places , was clearly proved by Mr. LABOUCHERE to be determined by our market ; and for this excellent reason — t hat those places, such as Posen and Prussia, which he m entioned, do not grow wheat so much for their own consumption as for the foreign market, the people in the North of Europe consuming, generally, rye bread. He would not even have made the assertion without a qualifica tion, had he attended to the tables, for between 1829 and 1838 the average of the fluctuations by the second return was 33 per cent. in England and only 27 in Rotterdam. At the same time we must state that in 1835 the tariff on importing corn into Hol. land was altered to promote ngriculture, and the duty now is, according to Dr. BOWRING'S Report on the German Toll Union, 325. per quarter. Now these alterations in the Dutch Corn-laws, Holland being like England a great corn - importing country, have tended much to cause fluctuations in other markets ; and if the few last years be struck from the Dutch, Dantzic, and Memel returns, particularly the Amsterdam return, it will be found that the fluctuations before the rise in the Dutch tariff were not so great as since. The merchant would be fully aware of ail these facts, and many more similar ones, and could ALEXANDER BARING be restored to us, he would chuckle and simper over the silliness, as well as profligacy, of Lord ASHBURTON. Earl RADNOR told the Noble Lord that when a per son of his eminence turned so completely round, he must not be surprised at being put on the qui vice. Lord ASHBURTON again defended his consistency, but not apparently to the satisfaction of the Peers, for the Earl of HADDINGTON rebuked the irregular dis cussion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again brought the affairs of the Anglo-Spanish Legion before their Lard ships, and provoked a little discussion on the subject, without eliciting many new facts. The Marquis of many gave notice of a mo tion concerning the Poor-law Guardians (Ireland), on the 9th inst. At Half-past Eight their Lordships ad journed. In the Commons, after a great number of petitions had been presented, Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the Canada Bill, which was read a first time, and appointed for a second reading on Monday so'nnight. The Noble Lord took the opportunity of doing justice to Mr. P. THOMSON, whose conduct he eulogized very highly, while he had been misreported and misrepresented as having said he disagreed with the Governor-General on the subject of the Clergy Reserves. His Lordship ex pressed a hope that it would not be thought desirable to continue agitation in the colony by counteracting the wishes of the people to have the Clergy Reserves ques tion settled. Some conversation 'took place on nominating Mr. CRAWFORD'S Committee on the Opium Question, but finally the nomination was postponed till to-morrow. The character of the Committee was objected to as too Ministerial ; but it was replied that some of the gentle men belonging to the Ministerial side of the House ap pointed on it, were opposed to the Ministers on the opium question. The adjourned debate on the Corn-laws was resumed by Mr. WODEHOIJSE, who opposed the motion, be cause it was a step to further reform. Mr. Rim!, in a well-considered speech, advocated going into a Committee, and showed that the law had not answered the purposes of its makers, who pretended to prevent the fluctuations which are caused by nature, and augmented them. The Hon. Gentleman also showed that with a free corn trade fluctuation had been less than under the restrictive system. Lord C. HAMILTON declared that be should oppose the motion, though he forbore to state on what grounds he supposed would to be injurious. Lord MORPETH said the Corn-laws were unwise and impolitic, and insisted that there was but one way of putting an end to the agitation on the subject—remov ing its cause. He wisely said the laws were at vari ance with the scope and designs of Providence, that is, they are a great practical blasphemy, and he hoped the day was not distant when freedom of trade, like personal freedom, would become general. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT properly said that nothing but total abolition would satisfy the people, and seemed to think that to stop the Corn-law robbery was to plunder the landlords. He found fault with the factory mas ters for not governing the country, when the power has been altogether in the hands of the landowners. He spoke stoutly against the motion. Mr. Paymu, after makinr , a careful speech, submit ted his amendment of a gradual reduction of the duties to the House. Mr. W. DUNCOMBE delivered a speech made up of quotations, the bearings of which he hardly seemed to understand. He declared that he would rather have a free trade than a 7s. fixed duty. So sa) all the manufacturers and all the labourers. The little rea soning he used was based on the supposition that there was nobody eise in the world than landlords and master manufacturers, and so he concluded, because the latter had some protection for their commodities—the former were entit!ed to levy a tax on the bread of those who are not master manufacturers. The logic of the Corn-law men is as bad as their morals. Mr. CLAY made a good speech for going into a Committee, and warned the House that it would never again have such a favourable opportunity of redressing the wrongs of the people. The SPEAKER enforced a rule of the House, that a former debate is not to be referred to in the same Session against Mr. CLAY, who wished to quote a speech of Sir R. PEEL'S, in a manner that was universally felt to be harsh and overstrained. Sir R. PEEL himself did not object to the passage being quoted, and it was finally read. ROYAL SURREY THEATRE.

At the meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates on Wednesday, Mr. GREG noticed the fact, that before the New Poor-law was passed a great deal of land did go out of cultivation. He did not add, because every one must be aware, that the land was allowed to go out of cultivation, although cultiva tion was fostered, as is said, by the Corn-laws. Since 1815 the country has never been without this legislative curse; and it is a singular mode of reason ing in the Duke of RICHMOND and his comrades, to conclude, because the land went out of cultiva tion under the Corn-law, that it would go out of cultivation were that vile law abolished. Reasoning from analogies, or from one period, or from one country to another, when circumstances are different, though the same words be used or preserved at both periods or places, is proverbially dargerous; and we shall prove, to the satisfaction of our readers we hope, that the case of land going out of cultivation were the Corn-laws abolished, be cause it went out of cultivation at a time when the Corn-law was in existence, is not an exception to the general rule. Mr. GREG justly observed that the farmers could not cultivate their land and pay rent and rates. Since the period when the land went out of culti vation the Poor-law has been amended. The sum of 2,000,0001. a .year has been struck off the poor rates, and the deduction of that sum alone might render it possible to cultivate land with a profit in 1841, which could not be cultivated in 1822 or 1831. In the present time, when so many unwary victims are hourly and daily lured on to wretchedness and indigence, by the insi dious wiles of treacherous and dexterous gamblers, it behoves every one to visit the Wiza-d of the North, and witness his expose of the celebrated " Sauter la Coup," which has been the ruin of so many unfortunate individuals, but which the Wizard now lays open to the world in so plain and simple a man ner, that after his expose an infant may detect a cheat.

The Lords possess a great advantag e over the C om aeons, in being still enabl e d to discusspetitions, iightly„therefore, talk ab out t h e Corn-law s. i,his and is a sore subject for the Peers, an d l ast n i ght the Earl of HARDWI#E, on presenting petitions from Cambridge shire, called their Lordships' attention to two from agricultural labourers, who stated that they were now earning from 16s. to 18s. a week. We should like to see these happy wealthy labourers brought to be ex amined at the bar of the House of Commons. If the Earl of HARDWICKE will send them to the Delegates, we can assure them that their examination shall be duly entered into and fully reported in The Sun. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM is ashamed of having had it imputed to him that he had said that 9s. a week was good payment for a labourer. He denied that he had ever said so, and wished the labourer to get as much as he could. Why not, then, allow him to buy his bread at the che a p est market , instead of compelling him to pay the Duke of BUCKINGHAM a tax on every loaf he con sumes over and above its natural price ? The Marquis of WESTMINSTER properly and gal lantly reminded the old London merchant, A LEXANDER BARING, of hi s c h ange in opinion,° which th e grea t land lord defend e d .

Last night The abolition of the Corn-laws, too, w ould com pel a re d uct i on o f rent, to w h at amount added to pre tend not to ca l cu l ate; b ut t h at reduction, auued to the C other, would a ll ow o f l an d b e i ng cu l t i vate d that was suffer e d to go out of cultivation under the rn c laws, 'which ma d e high rents be deman d e d. It must be r eco ll ected that the advantages to the culti vator would not be confined merely to that sum which the farmer paid less ; for the effect of paying high rents is to cause an increase of prices gene rally, somewhat greater than the rent, to cover the interest of the advance, and the interest on the ca pital employed in cultivation, which is raised in nominal value by high rent ; and this reduction, showing itself in lessened expense of cultivation, would be so great, that land throw n out of cultiva tion under the Corn-law might be profitably and prosperously cultivated were that law swept from the Statute Book. The effect of that law has been, and i s , to the farmers promise to pay more rent than they a make enabled to pay. Hence, in fertile years we conti nuallyre hear of the bountiful landlords and the boun tiful tithe lords making large deductions. But the promise to pay, though payment be not actually made, the expectation of having a high price, in duces the farmer to spend more money in cultiva tion than he would if he had no such promise. The law prevents frugality, prevents economy of labou r , p reven t s useful inventions to lessen the cost of cultivation, and so the Corn-law makes cultivation unprofitable, and throws land out of But, moreover, the great impediment to cultiva tion is the rates to which the land is liable, and on this point a great advantage will result from the abolition of the Coin-law. With a Corn-law, trade is hampered, enterprise is checked, communi cation is impeded, population is cut down. With out a Corn-law, population, sure of obtaining a supply of food, advances rapidly, creating an in creasing demand for food, and so preventing land from going out of cultivation ; communication is promoted and wealth spread ; the growth of towns carries off the surplus population of the country ; trade extends and requites more hands ; and enter ' prise, cheered with a hope of reward, is continually devising new employments and new means of ga thering wealth. In short, under a law which cuts down population, all is sluggish, and even deadly ; without a Corn-law, all is stirring, active, and full of life. Demand extends, and the land, in stead of going out of cultivation, as our opponents assert,would come more and more into cultivation, and more employment would be found on the land for the people as well as in the towns. The bugaboo, then, that the land would go out of cultivation were the Corn-laws abolished, because it went out of cultivation while they were in existence, ought not for one moment to influence the Legislature to continue what is grossly unjust. The evils of the Corn-law—she cutting down the population—are certain and unavoi , lable ; the predicted evils of abolishing them exist only in the imagination of in terested men, and never would be realised. Why, then, should we submit to a great present calamity, because the avaricious landlords threaten us, if we do not, with a similar, but by no means a greater, calamity hereafter ? Whether our observations be correct, or not the reader will readily infer, from the completely opposite views which are taken by the different parties of what will he the results of abolishing the Corn laws, that no one can really tell. Those results lie in the future, and can only be imagined. Over the future the imagination has boundless power, and no certainty and no agreement will ever be obtained by considering it. The hardy assertion of one will be met by the hardy assertion of another. Let us, therefore, discard such reasoning ; let us be just, and fear not. Justice demands that the rich and idle landlords should not tax the bread of the in dustrious poor. Justice requires that the Corn-laws be abolished. corn THE ART OF COINING EXEMPLIFIED. The resignation of Ministers, which we announced in our Second Edition yesterday evening, as a rumour cur rent in the City, has proved incorrect. Certain, however, it is, that several considerations conspired to give credi bility to such a statement. We may instance the f-icts— that Consols rose suddenly ono-eighth per cent., without any other reason being assigned than the report alluded to —that the Lrivee, which had been ordered for yesterday, was countermanded at a late hour on Tuesday night, even after the Gazette of that evening had been published— that a full Cabinet Council, of nearly two hours' dura tion, was held at the private residence of Lord John Rus sell yesterday afternoon—and, finally, that no t a mem b e r of the Cabinet was to be seen in the House o f C ommo ns last night, until Mr. Villiers had nearly completed his three-and-a-half hours' speech. Taking these undeni a bl e facts into account, together with the postponement of the motion of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton on the Corn-laws on Tuesday evening, and the well-known dis cordant opinions of Ministers upon that question, we admit that we thought it not improbable such an event might have taken place, though we had no time, at the late hour the report reached us, to satisfy ourselves re specting its accuracy. Thus much we have deemed it right to say, in justification of the course we adopted in giving the rumour currency in our Second Edition,— Standard. Here we may see the whole process of concocting a lie. A rumour is said to prevail in the City— the Consols rise (a considerable sum was perhaps bought)—Lord J. RUSSELL is absent from the House of Commons (on account of illness), which compels a Cabinet Council to be held at his house—something must be in the wind. "We wish to see the Whigs out," says the Standard, and forth goes the stamped and minted lie to the ever-gulled readers of the Standard, that the Mi nisters have resigned. Imagination is a very ser viceable faculty, but we submit to our Contempo rary that its suggestions should be kept in their place of ornaments, and not be called facts, and made the substance of an article. - The Church is throwing off all disguis , and hoisting the black flag of persecution for the sake of pelf. The Bishops legislate—to wit, the Corn laws and the Canada Clergy Reserves—for pelf, and the inferior Clergy and their friends write for pelf. For pelf—their craft being endangered—they are recommending persecution ; and for pelf, if they be not resisted, they will soon restore a domestic in quisition into opinions that will be more intolerable than ever was the Inquisition in Spain. In the Quarterly Review, No. 130, just pub lished, there is a long article on Socialism, which is intended to terrify the moderate and timid part of the community into a more complete submission to the priesthood, so that they may be still farther en riched, and receive additional power to vex and harass their neighbours. The Quarterly Review boldly lays it down that the " Church is impove rished." " She has no means of sending out more labourers." " She wants," as Mr. M'NEILE said, " a nursery for the clergy ; at present we have none." " The Universities," richly as they are endowed, and destined as they are wholly for the Church, " give general education, and a very imperfect out line (they cannot do more) of the rudiments of theology. But we want seminaries which shall create a body of men who may be most useful to the Church, without having been able to incur the necessary expense of a University education." " We want clergy, a whole army of clergy, suffi cient to act regularly, consistently, efficaciously, on the millions who depend on them." " We must have colleges of clergy established throughout the land." Such are some of the demands of the Quarterly Review. The impoverished Church cannot raise these additional armies of scattered and collegiate priests, and the State must be called en to provide the funds. The sum of all is—give more money and more power to the priesthood. These descriptions, let us observe, of the imper fections of the Church, by its own friends, warrant and confirm all that her enemies have said of her. That she is the most richly endowed and least efficient of all the Christian Churches is the accu sation of her enemies ; and these numerous com plaints, by her friends, of her Universities—of her defective education—of her want of useful priests, justify all the accusations of her opponents as to her inefficiency, though the Reviewer refers it to her poverty rather than her wealth. When an additional army of priests has been le. vied, therfollowing are samples, according to the Quarterly Review, of what they are to do The Church is to raise up more boldly than ever its his torical testimony to the fact of a revelation, and to the definiteness of the revelation itself," as if both were now doubted within the Church, and not boldly announced by the clergy. " It is to have no concern with, minds without its pale." " The priests are to listen to no suggestion—to read no books — to attend no meetings—to abstain from polluting themselves by any communication whatever with infidels and blasphemers." H ow then are the poor infidels to be converted or reformed ? Punishment," answers the Quarterly Review, " is the only form by which a Christian can recognize them, and punishment by the law of the land." The poor infidel, therefore, who lives here without the cheering hope of salva tion, who, according to the priests, is placed even beyond GOD'S redeeming grace, for he believes not as they believe—and they declare that wanting such a belief " a man shall be surely damned—"is, in addition to his privation here and his punish ment hereafter, to be punished for his misfortunes. Luckily for the infidels and blasphemers, their number is now sufficiently great to compel respect from the law, though the rabidness of the priest hood would deny it. The Socialists throughout the article are described as infidels and blas phemers, and they are compared to murderers. It is asked, " It a set of murderers had formed a con gress at Birmingham, would the Government pro secute them, or say that to prosecute a murderer only encouraged murder--only brought him into notice ? Yet murder is merely injury to man— blasphemy is insult to GOD, and murder of the worst kind—of man's spirit as well as of his body." That is applied to the Socialists, and then it is suited that When fully examined, indeed, the excuse of the Standard is found to be little more than a tissue of mis-statements made after the detection to excuse the falsehood. Mr. VILLIERS, for example, did not complete his three hours and a half speech till half past eight o'clock, while the second edition of the Standard was published before seven o'clock ; it could not, therefore, at the hour of publication, know of the non-appearance of the Ministers in the House of Commons, which it assigned last night as the ground on which it believed the false hood it published the night before. The same is true of the Cabinet Council, the existence of which the Standard, we are sure, first learnt from the Court Circular yesterday morning, and knew no thing of it when it published the news of the Mi nisters having resigned. It falsely, h o wever, as signs its knowledge of this fact as a justification of the lie it told on Wednesday evening. So the ...Standard daily publishes falsehoods, and afterwards fabricates other falsehoods to justify or defend them. The perscns who read it must be fond of falsehood, and it is therefore very properly called the " Parsons' Journal." The Non-intrusion mania in Scotland seems to be on the decline. Like other fevers, it worked itself up to the point of maximum violence, and during the paroxysms incident to this state, multi tudes of vehement orations were delivered, and petitions got up. Great excitement, however, can not last long, and if a re-action has not taken place, the stage of exhaustion is on the approach. A great proportion of the non-intrusionists are, we believe, the mere dupes of a few cunning men in the Kirk, who use the character they have obtained for godliness as a cloak to their designs. These men have perambulated the country, as mis sionaries of Non-intrusion, and have had art enough to excite a temporary clamour for an alteration in the law of patronage from the more hot-headed of the people. On the strength of this manifestation of an artificial zeal kindled by themselves, they have been pressing the Government to interfere and sanction the Veto Act, well knowing that if they did not strike the iron while it was hot, there was no chance of success. The Government has wisely adopted a cautious policy--a sort of Fabian war fare—with the fanatical party in the Kirk. It has not interfered, nor, we apprehend, will is interfere in the dispute. It will say to the Vetoist clergy, ‘. You have been the sole cause of all the mischief of which you complain, and you have the remedy in your own hands. The Veto Act was not called for —you had no power to make such a law—it is the acknowledged source of the evil. Repeal it and all will be well again." The Madrid papers received are of the 25th ult The debate on the Address continued, but its length was only exceeded by its dulness. Not a point of any interest was mooted by any of the speakers. Sir ARTHUR ASTON, British Ambassador to the Court of Madrid, passed through Iron on his way to the capital. He was greeted with the discharge of several pieces of ordnance, and the Authorities presented him with a congratulatory address. The Carlists are organizing another revolt in the Basque Provinces. date :--- Owenism is only a specks of Dissent.'" Nay, " Dissent" is said to be Socialism, and nothing but " Dissent pushed to its:legitimate consequences. Being only a species of Dissent, the Dissenters being the parents of Mr. OWEN'S disciples, being classed with infidels and blasphemers, are, one and all, therefore—Methodists, Baptists, and In dependents—threatened with punishment. In the multitude of Dissenters those who are called infidels and blasphemers by the Quarterly Review will find protection. At present the Church receives by law a very large share of our annual produce. We say our annual produce, though it does not seem to be sufficiently known, nor always recollected, that all which is annually consumed is annually produced, and that, consequently, the priests have not a loaf to eat nor a coat to wear that is not created by the annual labour of the community. Their right to have the bread and the cloth is not a natural right, it is con feired on them by law. In this respect the income of the priesthood is diflerent from that of most classes. The State may protect the mer chant or hanker—the farmer or manufacturer— the fisherman or the weaver, in the enjoyment of the produce of his labour, to which he has a natural right, but it bestows on the priesthood what they possess, and it takes what it bestows from the produce of other men. It violates their natural right to constitute the legal rights of the priesthood. That is the fact. According to the showing of the Quarterly Review, the natural rights of the people are now not enough violated, and though the priesthood already possess an enor mous mass of wealth, they require more. How they are to employ this additional share of our an nual produce, to which the Legislature is expected to give them a title, the Quarterly Review shall explain. The educated classes, which include of course all the priesthood, and all those whom they can influence, being men of property, are to dismiss every man from their service, or from their employ ment, who goes to hear the Socialists discourse. As Socialism is only a species of Dissent, and Dis sent the parent of Socialism, whoever goes to hear a Dissenter preach will fall under the same ban.

These p, rsons are ever real ,to vote as the Court may direct, and when they manifest any th rig like patriotism, such as in the question of NEMOURS' Rotation Bill, it is merely a spurt to prevent a dissolu tion of the Legislature, which sould send them back to their constituents, cud so endanger their places, or it is an attempt to stifle the cry of Electoral Reform by en• abling their supporters among the middle classes to ex claim on all occasions, pointing to the solitary economical vote, " What stronger proof is required than this of the perfection of our Electoral system ? What would ODILLoN BARROT and his friends have more than a Chamber which, in its jealous watchfulness of the people's interests, denies even to the son of the KING a pension to support the collateral dignity of the Crown?" Well, to pacify the Representation the Liberals brought forward during the SounT Administration a motion declaring State pensioners and . holders of a ffi number of p u bli c offices ineligible to seats in the Cham- I be! of Deputies.

CITY, T WELVE 0' CLO CK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—The `ales of this day are 4,500 bales at yesterday's prices, chiefly for home use; a very flat market. We have received Montreal Papers this morning eight days later than the last arrivals. ,COMMERCIAL.—The Bank of Montreal (which is the only Bank in the city that has taken the notes of all the Chartered Banks in Upper Canada, for a considerable time past, in deposit) yesterday declined taking them in Coto. It is a matter of astonishment to us that the Governor General, as a man of business, has not yet tried to regu late the currency between this and the Upper Province. The subject, however, has probably never been brought before his Excellency in a tangible form. If such is the case, were our merchents, who are more immediately con nected with the Upper 4..; an dd a trade to memorialize him prior to his summoning the Special Council, some remedy mittht be effected. The Buffalo Journal, of the 4th inst., says—" By letters from Toronto we are gratified to learn that pecuniary affairs in the province are brightening. Heavy orders for wheat and flour have been sent into our teeming West. The demand for exchange on New York for remittances for this subject has been and is so extensive as to have in duced the Bank of Upper Canada to raise their rates for ten days sight drafts on New York to five per cent. This is good news for our farmers. It is with deep regret we perform the painful task of an• nouncing to our readers the irreparable loss which the pra vince has sustained by the death of Andrew Stewart, Esq., her Majesty's ,elicitor-General, which took place on 21st instant. GOVERNMENT OFFICE, TORONTO, FEB. 12. —llia Ex cellency, the Governor-General bas been pleased to make the foil Jwing appoktments until her INlajesty's pleasure shall be known :—" Christopher A.

The exterior was illuminated by Bude lights, placed at an elevation in front of the mansion; l ;so as to diffuse their radiance to a considerable extent.

Sia,—lt is with exceeding regret that I have perused particulars of an accident which occurred to Monsieur Buck, the self-styled Wizard of the West, on Tuesday evening last, at the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham-street, in consequence of a failure in that which he styles his celebrated guntrick. The account having got into extensive circulation, I con ceive it likely to militate against the patronage I have hi. therto received from the public. I beg leave to assert to the public that there is in my method of performing the gun delusion no danger to the audience, to the party firing, ,r to myself, and yet the mystery is impenetrable. In the particulars given it is stated that the person who fired at Monsieur Buck observed that he had had a shot at me. Very likely ; a great many persons have fired at me, per haps he among the number ; but Monsieur Buck is muti lated, lam uninjured. And now, in answer to the adver tisement put forth by the proprietor of the Queen's Theatre. It is therein stated that there is danger in the way in which it is performed by Monsieur Buck. Why is there danger? In justification of myself, sgainst the observations in the aforesaid advertisement, I niw explain why there is danger. The old way of doing the gun-trick is pursued by Mons. Buck, which is the dexte ronsty substituting for the leaden bullet (before it is placed in the gun), a composition ball, which is converted to powder by iho impact attic ramrod The component parts of this ball are quicksilver and ttin filings, in proper proportions, together with a definite quantity of gunpowder, to make the amalgam explode. This admixture, it appears, was not fully understood by Mons. Buck, and the consequences has been, that from its not exploding, he has been severely wounded by receiving the compost in his face, and this compost was quite sufficient to cause the mutilation and perforation of the scene, without the insertion of anything else in the gun. The advertisement goes on to state, that the person who fired at Mons. Back has asserted, that he has discovered my system. If he had done so, I should have heard of it ere this. I know no danger, I fear no danger, I dread not detection. I have stated to the public that the principle of performing this delusion is my original inven tion. It is so, and its prevailing beauty is, that it is unat tended with a shadow of a likelihood of perilous cnse quences. Trusting you will insert this in my justification, I remain, Sir, yours, H. ANDERSON, The Wizard of the North. THE GREAT TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN DUBLIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlN—The Dublin Papers contain deteils of the extra ordinary proceedings of Monday and Tuesday. I have now the pleasing duty to inform you that each succeeding day adds to the intensity of the interest which the progress of this stupendous moral phenomenon excites among all classes of the community. The Rev. Theobald Mathew seems to acquire fresh vigour every succeeding day ; notwithstanding the exces sive fatigue which he has endured, and the immense multi tudes to whom he administers the pledge during the last two days, of which I furnished you with outlines, he is this day at the good work as fresh as ever, and, although the day is exceedingly wet, the multitude of persons around him and receiving the pledge equal either of:the preceding days. As soon as he shall finish his labours here, he will visit London.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant. Dublin, April. The Duke of Richmond has returned to Good. sood, Sussex, where the Duchess and family have resided during the absence of his Grace in town, in attendance to his Parliamentary duties. Lord Carew arrived at Castleborough, Wexford, in the early part of the past week, his Lordship having come ft om Paris on the intelligence of the destruction of his splendid mansion by fire reaching him. His Lordship stayed only a few days at the above seat, and then proceeded to his delightful villa at Woodstown. The Noble Lord will shortly rejoin his family in the above capital. The Earl and Countess of Wicklow, and the Ladies Howard, were to have left Shelton Abbey, Arklow, on Monday last, for town. The Noble Earl intended to be in town before the Irish Municipal Bill was brought forward for second reading in the House of Lords. The departure of Prince Esterhazy for London is definitively fixed. The Prince will set out from Venice im mediately after Easter. MARRIAGE [N H IGH LIFE.—On Wednesday :ast, at. Baxterly Church, near Cheltenham, Louisa, Countess ~ f Kintore, was led to the hymeneal altar by N. B. Arnold, .0.1. D., son of the Rev. C. Arnold, Incumbent of Meltor and Langho, Lancashire. _ _ DEATH OF CAPTAIN DICKSON, R.N. C.B. —We have to announce the demise of this gallant officer, one r the heroes of Navarino und3r Admiral Sir Edward Codring. on. Captain Dickinson was Knight of St. Anne of Russia, the Legion of Honour, and other foreign orders, conferred on him for his brilliant services. His post commission bears date May 13, )821. _ _ The late Dr. Murdoch, of Versailles, whose death was announced in our paper of yesterday, has left cause for regret among a numerous circle of friends, by whom he was gr eatly beloved, and among whom his memory will long be cherished. 'this gentleman, who was a native of Scotiand cane originally into France to pursue his medical studies in the hospitals of Paris, and was much esteemed and protected by Baron Larrey, to whose kind interference he owed the privi lege of not being sent to the depot of English prisoners in 1803. During the invasion of France, in 1814, Dr. Murdoch gave his gratuitous services to the French hopitals on the line of ope rations between Strasburg and Paris, and he was to have re ceived the cross of the Legion of Honour, but was prevented by the Emperor's abdication. Ever since the peace Dr. Murdoch resided constantly at Versailles.— Galignani of the Ist. How to pay the Rent was produced at the Haymarket Theatre last night. It is full of fun, and as well received. At the close of the curtain a tew hir e true, were heard, but they probably came from s- 01 "'" ne unfor tunate lodging-house keepers, who had been stiff aers and w ere sore. A BRUSSELS, APRIL 1.-- A seizure of jewellery and trinkets, of the value of about 200,000 francs, has just been made, belonging to one of the principal goldsmiths of Paris, who lodged in the British Hotel in this city. These ar ticles had not the Belgian stamp, and had been smuggled into Belgium. FARNHOUT, MARCH 29.—1 n the night of the 28th, a band of smugglers, of fifteen or twenty men, was attacked by the custom-house officers, who seized eight bales containing calicoes, white handkerchiefs, &c., valued at 1,650 francs. BERLIN, MARCH 22.—Count Medem, Rus sian Charge d'Affaires in Paris, is appointed Ambassador at Sttetgard. M. Van Kisseleff, Counsellor of Legation, is re moved !from London to Paris. Count Goririeff, Russian Am bassador at Naples (and not Count Czernitcheff, the Minister of War), is now spoken of as likely to succeed Baron Tatischef as Russian Minister at the Court of Vienna. LUDLOW ELECTION PETITION. --Tile Com mittee to try the merits in allegations of this petition assembled on Wednesday • Mr. Sanford in th e c h a i r. Mr. Serjeant Mereweather and Mr. Austin appeared in support of the peti tion, and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Talbot for the sitting Member. The petition complained of illegal votes being placed on the poll, and of bribing and treating by the sitting Member or his agents. The Chairman annommea the follow- ing resolution :—" Resolved, that the Committee do not ex pect Counsel for the petitions against the ret'arn to state the fact respecting the individual cases of bribery which he intends to bring forward merely with a view of invalidating individual votes, but they do expect that, with respect to the case of bribery which it is intended to bring forward to Mr. Alcock or his agents, the Counsel will state the names of the electors bribed, and when and where the payment took place, but with out further particulars. In the same manner the Committee would expect that a statement should now be made of any facts directly inculpating Mr. Aleock or his agents under the head of treating." The Committee adjourned. BOW - STREET.—Yesterday, an elderly woman, named Sarah Stokes, who keeps a print shop at 57, Wych street, appeared before Mr. Jardine, to answer a complaint pre erred against her at the instance of the Society for the Suppres sion of Vice, for having unlaw fully exposed, or caused to be ex posed, a certain print, entitled the Duke of Queensbury and the French Milliner, for sale in her shop window—to which, she pleaded guilty. Mr. Clarkson, the Barrister, and Mr. P r itchare Solicitor to the &hie; y, appeared for the prosecuti-" an d Adolphus for the defence, Atter the Learned . , c ou nsel had conferred together for a short time, Mr. Solwas authorised to say that the Society would br 4 satisfied wits a no miral punishment, with the distinct, undinstending that on another convi c ti on , th e defendant should he punished as an incorrigibl e rogue and vagabnd. The cif -feud ant promised never to offend ag.dn, and tr, Magistrate then sentenced her to be committed to hard liwWur for one day. THE FUNDS.

The various reports on the tapir of some sort of a change in the Ministry, owing to the Corn question now in debate, as well as the China :f airs, prevents the moneyed interest from entering into speculations of magnitude for the present, as it is expected that the result of the above two important questions in the House may have some effect on the British Funds.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF ENNISKILLEN.— A brave and noble spirit has departed from the world. The Earl of Enniskillen is no more. After many months of suffer ing and decline, this distinguished Nobleman breathed his last at his residence, Florence Court, in the county of Fermanagh, last Tuesday morning. The Noble Lord is succeeded in his title and estate by his eldest son, Lord Cole, whose elevation to his present rank will create a vacancy in the representation of Fermanagh, of which he has been Member since the year 1831.—Dublin Evening Moil. WOOLWICH GARRISON.—The 29th Regi ment of Foot, at present stationed here, it is reported will re ceive orders to leave this garrison in a few days to relieve the 45th, whose courageous conduct during the recent Chartist riots at Newport was acknowledged by the Commander-in- Chief, Lord Hill. As a reward for those services it is the in tention of Government to make them a light infantry regiment, and for that purpose they are ordered to Woolwich to make themselves proficient in their military duties. On Saturday night last the granary of Mr. Martin, Brook Lodge, Ringmer, was broken open, and three bushels of flour and one sack stolen therefrom. On the same night a fat sheep was killed and taken away from a field adjoin ing the above premises. The skin and entrails are left behind. —Brighton Gazette. In - the Dublin Evening Post of last Tuesday it is stated that in that one day only 3,500 persons had taken Father Mathews's temperance pledge. The same paper is filled with details of the Rev. Gentleman's success in Dublin. Drunkenness, it is anticipated, will soon be known amongst the Irish bat as the name of a discarded vice. Mr. Dayrell, of this place, while following the Puckeridge Hounds, met with an alarming accident in the parish of Hempstead. His horse, which he had ridden in the field for this and the two preceding seasons, just after he had passed through a gate into a field belonging to Dawkin's Farm, suddenly started up, and, in the act of falling had its own back and a thigh broken, while Mr. Dayrell was most seriously injured by the horse crushing him under, so that the saddle was broken to pieces. At first no hope was entertained that he would survive even for a short time. There were two me dical gentlemen with the hunt, and every possible attention was immediately afforded by the anxious spectators. The horse was shut in the field. Mr. Dayrell is a stout powerful man, so that a fall under any circumstances might have been serious. His case has excited much sympathy, and particularly so among his agricultural friends.—Aberdeen Advertiser. As the wife of Mr. E. I3ristow was crossing Sidbury lock about five o'clock on Monday afternoon, with an infant of five 'months' old in her arms, the latter, ju s t as its mother had placed her right hand on the iron railing, sprung from her arms, and fell head. foremost into the canal. Mrs. B. shrieked for help, and two men hastened from Sidbury to her assistance, the infant having in the mean time risen to the surface, an.; floated on its back. After some trouble the two men rescued the child, who was in nowise injured. Abut half an hour after this occurrence a younger sister of Alm Bristow (and daughter of Mr. Spares, of Sidbury) fell into the canal a short distance below the Sidbury Bridge, and, a s _ sistance being at hand, she also was rescued without re ceiving any injury. The little girl was about twelve years of age.—.Wercegter Chronicle. EVENING E GRAND FETE AT LANS- EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS. DOWNE HOUSE. TO 711 k; AD1701? OF TILE SUN. TTA MARKETS.

Let, therefore, a meeting of our useful body be called, • and a Committee organized to watch this lteer through Parliament, and to obtain for us the free exe,cise of our important calling. Provided the main body or the trade are willing to come forward, I shall be most anxious to co-operate with them ; and I send you my name and address with that view. But it will be worse than useless making a partial or feeble attempt. Hoping you will excuse my tronbling you with these hints, I am, Sir, your ohli t ,ied servant, AN EATING-HOUSE KEEPER. THE MARKETS.-(THIs DAY•) CORN EXCHANGE. This week's arrivals of Grain and Flour have been small, except of Oats from Ireland, of which there has been a go quantity, chiefly of a% inferior description. Wheat in the state last reported. In Bailey, Beans, and Pease, no variation. Oats of good quality met a slow sale at former prices, and other kinds very dull. T he Flour trade heavy. SMITHFIELD. The supply at market not very large, and nearly the whal e were sold. The primest Scots and fine Porkers realised a trifling advance on Monday's prices. Old Downs were in good request, and readily taken at an advance of •2d. on Monday's. currency. Veal steady. Beef, 3s. 6d. a 4s.

TALLOW MARKET. There was very little doing, and the price of P. Y.C. waa 51s. 9d. to 525. SEED MARKET. Every description of Seed was dull of sale, and Clover Seed was cheaper. There was not much business done, but the value of the ar• tide was firmer. The nearest current price for Compaq s Congou was 2s. 2d. per lb. cash, and very firm at that figls".; It is understood that the re w ill b e no p u bli c mon thly s ale %Int l ' after the arrival of the next overland mail from Canton. COLONIAL MARKET. We had only two public s..les. 1,100 bags Mauritius Sugsr went at 563. a 693. 1,180 bags Ceylon Coffee sold in part at about the market prices. As Tea gets a little firmer, so does Coffee. 13. P. Sugar sold slowly, but rather better than during toe week ; prices firm at 593. a 70s. By private contract very little done.
