The Right Hon. the Home Secretary yesterday' trans mitted to the Lord Primate, and also to the Archbishop of York, the Queen's Letter in aid of the subscription for the distressed population in Ireland and the Highlands of Scot land. The following i 4 a copy of the document : "Queen's Letter to his Grace the Archbishop:of Canterbury for a collection in aid of tke subscriptions entered into for the relief of a large portion of the population in Ireland and in some districts of Scotland. " Victoria R., " Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor, we greet you well. Whereas a large portion of the population of Ireland, and in some dis tricts of Scotland, is suffering severe distress, owing to the failure of the ordinary supplies of rood ; and whereas many of our subjects have entered into voluntary subscriptions for their relief, and have at the same time humbly prayed us to issue our royal letters, directed to the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Archbishop of York, authorising them to promote contributions within their respective pro vinces for the same benevolent purpose ; • " We, taking the premises into our royal consideration, and being always ready to give the best encouragement and coun tenance to such humane and charitable undertakings, are graciously pleased to condescend to their request, and we do hereby direct that these our letters be by you communicated to the several suffragan bishops within your province, ex pressly requiring them to take care that publication be made hereof on such Sunday in the present or the ensuing month, and in such places within the respective dioceses as the said bishops shall appoint; and that upon this occasion the mi nisters in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners to a liberal contribution, which shall be collected the week following at their respective devellings, by the chuchwardens and overseers of the poor in each parish ; and the ministers of the several parishes are to cause the sums so collected to be paid immediately into the hands of the Bank of England, to be accounted for by them, and applied to the carrying on and promoting the above-mentioned good designs. " And so we bid your very heartily farewell. " Given at our Court at St. James's, the thirteenth day of January, 1817, lithe tenth year of our reign. "By her Majesty's command, " G. GREY.

THIRD EDITION OF nevertheless, of an interesting character. The omis sions in the Royal Speech were again casually noticed, particularly in reference to the revenue and national education. Both of these subjects must have been designedly left out of her MAJESTY'S address. They could not have been Ministerial oversights. It is not easy to surmise why the revenue should not have formed a topic to be specially noticed. It is easier to furnish reasons why the Government did not advise to allude to na tional education. The awful circumstances under which the Parliament has met wholesale famine brooding over the entire surface of Ireland, and de vastating a great portion of the 'Western Highlands— the apparent and complicated difficulties that must be triumphed over before we can be safely extricated from the national evils in which weare disastrously involved --the time that must be absorbed in the deliberations of the Senate, with the view of devising the requisite measures, not merely for the mitigation of prevailing severities, but likewise for preventing their recur rence—the fact, that most of the labours of the session of 1847 must be devoted to the above wide and me lancholy field of legislation, confirmed, as it is, by the announcement from the Throne, that not one, or two, but " various measures," will be laid before Par liament for grappling with the social evils of the Sister Isle—the important range, moreover, of the other matters broached in the Royal Budget,—these severally constitute a rational answer to the anxious inquiry why popular education was not authoritatively notified to the assembled Council of the nation. Ques tions of primary necessity and magnitude must be first dealt with ; but it would be a presumptuous inference to draw, that because the Ministry wisely estimate an importunate necessity, they are in different to the cause of national instruction. Much as the Government have to perform during the cur rent year with the sanction of Parliament, they have, notwithstanding, declared themselves to be prepared with schemes for promoting the sanatory condition of the peoples" rt is obvious that, if it be almost certain that, regard being had to time, the Legislature, as between public health, on the one hand, and public education; on the other, can only enact measures with respect to one of them, the pre ference is wisely given in favour of the former. The physical energies of the population, and their social comforts, must, in the order of nature, be, in the first instance, secured and promoted, before we attempt, upon any comprehensive scale, to develop their in tellectual faculties. The careful husbandman, tend ing a sickly vine, first addresses his skill to the pro tection and nourishment of the root before he extends it to the cultivation of the branches, from the invigo rated growth of which he hopes to gather his timely fruit. this country in - your liands, and the result is that you have reduced the country to such a state of perennial distress that the - failure of a single article of food has plunged it into an appalling and disastrous famine." But the meeting on the 14th instant, though distin guished by less of oratorical display than its predecessor promises to become the parent of greater and of better things. This meeting was composed of the landed pro prietors of Ireland, convened by the Reproductive Com mittee, to consider and sanction the resolutions prepared by that Committee, and for some time past published in all the papers. Fifteen peers, twenty-six members of the House of Commons, and above a thousand land holders, obeyed the call of the Committee. Never be fore was there seen in Dublin such a collection of notables. Never were tho representatives of so much property collected under one roof in Ireland. Party and sectarian feelings were forgotten. Bitter antago nists took each other by the hand, and pledged them selves to fight together manfully for the preservation of the lives of the Irish people. "THE SUN," THE VERY LATEST NEWS WILL BE FOUND, AS USUAL, IN THE THIRD EDITION OF (THE SUN," WHICH WILL CONTAIN THE DEBATES IN BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT UP TO THE HOUR OF POST, THEREBY ANTICIPATING OTHER PAPERS BY TWELVE HOURS. THE CORN LAWS. A FULL REPORT of LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S SPEECH, in a Committee of the whole House, will be given TO-NIGHT, in a THIRD EDITION of " THE SUN." Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, the Orange Member for the University of Dublin, proposed the first resolution ; and stated, amid loud cheekii; that it was his deliberate and firm conviction that the formation of an Irish party, irrespective of party considerations, was essential for the salvation of the country. Mr. C'CoNNELL seconded Mr. HAMILTON'S resolution, and declared, amid thunders of applause, that he entirely agreed with every word that had fallen from Mr. HAMILTON on the important subject of form ing an Irish party at the present moment ; and that in order to , attain so desirable an object, any sacrifice con sistent with duty ought to be freely made by all, for the purpose of effecting the great good that tht formation of such a party would accomplish. And the Orange Earl of ERNE, in proposing ,the second resolution, declared that there was but one course for them to pursue, and that was, to adopt the advice of Mr. O'CONNEBL, and make a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. And the perfect accord of that great meeting is exempli fied in the astonishing result of a full and unanimous agreement of above one thousand Irish gentlemen to 36 resolutions, given in one day, without noise or tumult, and almost without an unnecessary word. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in moving the last resolution, intimated that if such an Irish party had been formed ten years ago, it might have rendered the repeal of the union unnecessary. We ask Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN why such a party may not render it unnecessary now? Ten years are but as a moment in the life of a nation. Why may not a union of all good men in Ireland, acting in concert with a Government like the present, zealous for the advancement and prosperity of that country, give Ireland every benefit that a native Parliament could give it, and something more. THE NAVIGATION LAWS. A FULL REPORT of LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S SPEECH, in a Committee of the whole House, will also be given TO-NIGHT, in a THIRD EDITION of " THE SUN." We perceive, with cordial delight, a paragraph in the Nottingham Mercury, communicating that the Society of Commercial Travellers have resolved upon raising a subscription for alleviating the dreadful miseries under which the inhabitants of Ireland, and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland are suffering. No one is to contribute more than five shil lings. This a wise regulation, which, we doubt not, for obvious reasons, will realise a larger collection than if the amount had been left unlimited. Were other associated bodies in the empire to imitate this inspiriting example of humanity, many a wretched creature might be timely saved from the awful ravages of pestilence, famine, and death. Commerce is only another name for charity in its largest and best under stood sense. Those who embark in it are found to act freely upon the expanding and ennobling influences of philanthropy. Of this we have a pleasing instance in the right-minded benevolence of the Commercial Travellers' Society. Madrid papers of the 13th have arrived. It was scarcely fair in Mr. HUME to insinuate, as he did last night, a doubt of her MAJEsrr's Ministers being as anxious as their predecessors to carry out the principles of free trade. Our advances in this respect must be regulated by the state of the revenue. Were we rashly to depart from this wholesome rule, we should speedily find, to our cost, " the more haste, the less speed." Besides, the recommendations for the immediate abolition of the corn-laws—for such, in deed, the proposed suspension of the existing law virtually amounts to—and the use of sugar in our breweries and distilleries, are palpable steps in fur therance of unrestricted trade and commerce. As far as we can judge of the .future by what has already transpired in St. Stephen's, the national prospects will, we believe, soon recover from the eclipse by which they have of late been partially obscured. MARTINEZ DE LA Rose not having arrived in Madrid, it was supposed that CASTRO Y OROZCO would be elected President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Ileraldo more than hints at the probability of a change of Ministry. The Clamor Publico states that the Carlists have held an open and public meeting at Estella, to consider of the day on which they should make their intended outbreak. Other accounts say that a serious disturbance occurred at Pampeluna on the 10th. A number of conscripts and others assembled on the,.Tolosa road, and the Alcalde, with a civil force, attempted to dispeirse them. The rioters raised the cryof the " Fueros," and drove the au• thorities into the town, Disturbances, it is said, are likewise threatened at Grenada. Senor OLozscs has addressed a letter to the Cham ber, protesting against its proceeding in his absence to the discussion of his double election. He gives no one authority to defend him, but claims the right to be beard himself in his own defence. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 13.—The Three per Cents, closed o❑ the 13th at 32; the Fire per Cents., 20i; Coupons, 18.1. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The debate on the Address commenced on Monday in the Chamber of Peers. The. only speaker of any weight who addressed the Chambers on the subject of the Montpensier marriage was the Baron C. DuPIN, whose speech may be described as a series of variations on the old tune of perfide Albion. M. GIIIZOT did not address the Chamber. The Commerce has a very remarkable article, spe culating on the probability of the retirement of M. regards as with England or inevitable, whether France o T (whichremains i t pat goes to war,) and on the fittest person to be his successor. Count MOLE, is at once rendered im possible under present circumstances on ac c ount of his , Russian engagements and predilections. " There re mains then only M. TRIERS," sa y s the Commerce. "He wishes fore ca the cause g dig nified, and as the p oint u pon which a gen e r a l p eace rests, and the conditi ons of which should not w oun d s w n h g i l c is h h broke alliance, either the national interests or character. Conservatives, reflect upon this! M. TRIERS, in his position, is the only man for Conservatism and peace. Men of the Op position! remember that M. TRIER S is a child of the Revolution of July, and that this Revolution has always been cherished by him as a mother, and that he has never denied his origin. Men of the different constitu tional parties! reflect that time has wings, and that too repeated hesitations expose us to the re-echoing of those sad words, ' It is too late. The Portefeuille, the Ministerial journal, in alluding to the secession of the Dufaure and Billault section of the Opposition from the Thiers and Barrot party, is forced to admit that there is also a split among the Conservatives, although it does not anticipate that the differences will lead to any changes. The same journal, in speaking of Lord PALNERSTON'S last note, says— " Lord Palmerston has addressed to Lord Norm an b y, un der date of the 9th inst., a dispatch, which was transmitted on the 12th to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this dispatch, of eighty-four pages, o f which a copy was left with M. G u i zot, Lord Palmerston appears to insist only on the arguments relative to the engagements made in the conferences at Eu; little is said on the clauses of the treaty of Utrecht, so that the Minister of her Britannic Majesty rather raises a difficulty of etiquette, and rather discusses the question of procedes, which he persists in finding bad, than be treats an affair of right and policy relative to the marriage of his Royal High ress the Due de Montpensier. If Lord Palmerston had in sisted on his first arguments, drawn from the isolation of the treaty of Utrecht, to explain the opposition of England, the King's Government might have dispensed with a reply, because a right that France considers as acquired cannot be placed in doubt. The question of procedes presenting itself almost alone, it was of importance to the dignity and honour of the King's Government to destroy all suspicion on thi s point. And, ther e f ore , though the Minister of Foreign Affairs was as free as in the question of Cracow , to reply or not to reply, to th e di spa t c h communicated , a9a to close the discussion immediately, the Council has decided that M. Guizot shall reply to the last dispatch of the Minister of ber Britannic Majesty." According to the Cowrier Francais, Lord PALMER. &TON has determined the three Northern Powers to de clare against France on the subject of the Montpensier marriage. Food riots still continue to rage in the provinces of France, and the price of corn and flour is rising in all the markets of the country. " At the Mans," says La Reforme, " wheat has just risen 3f. ; the hectolitre was at 37f. to 38f. at the last market. In Maine-et-Loire, at Brissac and Saumur, the same advance has taken place. The most alarming accounts reach us from the central departments. At Tours flour is worth 100 f. per sack, and the scarcity of grain is extreme. The bakers no longer supply themselves. The people are deeply agitated. From all the markets that supply Paris our advices continue to announce an average advance of 2f. per hectolitre." The King of TIGRE, which is, next to Shoe, the richest kingdom of Abyssinia, and which occupies the space comprised between the Red Sea and the upper lands, has sent a letter and presents for the KING of the FRENCH to the French consular agent at Gondar. The Paris Bourse changed, towards the close of busi• ness on Tuesday, the gloomy hue it had worn during many days. Reports were circulated that an eminent capitalist had begun once more to buy, and that the Speech of her Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND would speak comparatively without hostility of the Montpen• sier marriage. The low price to which securities had fallen tempted, moreover, the " Bears" to' realise, and hence the Three per Cents., which had been done so low as 76f. 80c., rallied, and closed at 77f. 40c. (buyers). The Three per,Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 77f.40c.; the Five per Cents., 115f.95c. ; the Orleans Rail road Shares,l,2oof ; Rouen,B6sf. ; Havre,6ssf. ; Great Northern, 602 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 817 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 565 f. ; Bordeaux, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENiNer, JANUARY 21, 1847 537 f. 50c. ; Troyes and Montereau, 345 f.; Basle, 210 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 407 f. 50c. ; Tours and' Nantes, 467 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 492 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avig non, 485 f.

Lord Grey has shown his superior judgment, as a Colonial Minister, by appointing Mr. Henry Fox Young to be her Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern District of the Cape of Good Hope, in succes sion to Major- General Hare. This gentleman's long experience of colonial matters in British Guiana, where he served with great credit as Government Secretary in a mixed community of British and Dutch settlers, pe culiarly fit him to preside orer a mixed population, of similar character, at the Cape. His calm, dignified, and urbane manners endeared him to the inhabitants of Guiana, and annihilated the- violent party spirit which, for a long time, distracted that noble colony. The documents which we recently published respecting this gentleman, on his arrival from Demerara, speak volumes for the improved condition of that colony, and attest Mr. Young's merits in far better terms than we can express them. This appointment is a proof of Lord Grey's desire to govern our colonial possessions in a way suited to promote the welfare of mankind, in a spirit of peace, rather than by the terror of the sword, PRESENTATION OF THE COMMONS' ADDRESS. — (THIS DAY.)—The Address, agreed to last night, was we understand, presented this day to the Queen, at Windsor, by the Members of the Privy Council, in con. formity with the resolution of the House last night. The reply of her Majesty will, therefore, most likely, not be reported to the House until to-morrow. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton 'at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500 bales, 700 of which were on speculation. There was no change in prices. Sales, 800 Pernams,': at VAd. to 8 3 /d. ; 600 Surat at 41d. to sd. ; and the rest American at 6%d. to B%cl. per lb. Shares were heavy. The attempt to - raise money, by way of loan, appears not to have succeeded in Austria, at least to the required extent, the participation of British capitalists being wisely limited, because of the uncertain condition of our own Money market. Still, it is stated in accounts from Vienna, that the Austrian Government has obtained funds sufficient to relieve the Share market, by making advances on railway scrip. Adverting to railway s, we cannot but notice the serious decline in the present value of the Belgian lines, which must inevitably experience increased difficulty in raising the re mainder of their capital. The Belgian Government must afford every possible facility, and would be adopting a suici dal policy were it to act upon the recommendation of an Antwerp journal, and forfeit, without remorse, the caution money of any company not in a situation to comply strictly with the conditions accepted, and which in some cases are onerous enough, no doubt. The Belgian wilier should re member that railways give employment, and that in reality British capital is at this moment affording that employment in his country. The mention made of a postage convention in Germany excites a hope here of some satisfactory and improved ar rangement of the heavy charge now levied upon correspon dence, and of which the success of the penny postage here may induce a reduction. There is still an uncertain market for the English Secu rities, and the quotations have been influenced by the report that the Bank of England directors have determined upon another advance of the rate of interest.

THE VALUE OF LAND IN IRELAND.—Yesterday the perpetual rent of about 1,900 statute acres (of which about 1,400 consisted of profitable land, the remainder being tideland, rocky and bog), and which realised only about 1401. per annum, was put up to auction at Garraway's, by Mr. Alderman Farebrother.

Mr. COOPER applied for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, who is a dentist in Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, from continuing to keep a brass plate on his door, stating that he was the principal assistant and designer to the plaintiff, who has carried on the business of a dentist in Old Burlington-street for several years, and for preventing him from circulating cards and publishing advertisements in the newspapers, setting forth that he is the sole inventor of a new mode f fixing artificial teeth, to the great injury of the plaintiff, who had •invented an obtained a patent in March last for " Pneumatics, or the fixing of teeth on the self sustaining principle instead of wires." The plaintiff set forth that he was the sole inventor of this principle, and that the defendant had employed a person to deliver the circulars com plained of to his patients at his door, and that in consequence they had been misled, and his business materially injured. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the application. THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY v. THE CHARING- CROSS SUSPENSION-BRIDGE.

I , --- • SECOND EDITION. fljfjj i ni; LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1847 A new writ has been ordered by the House of Commons for the election of a representative for the county of Middlesex, in the room of Mr. BYNG, re cently deceased. By this circumstance the important and influential office of Member for the metropolitan shire is again placed at the disposal of its enfranchised population. We cannot doubt for a single moment the discretion of the Middlesex electors in awarding the majority of their rotes to the most en lightened and competent among the candidates who may present themselves upon the hustings. The cordiality which existed during so many years be tween the late revered and excellent Father of the House of Commons and his eminent constituency is a significant and sufficient proof that the latter are animated with a due reverence for our venerable Con stitution, and, at the same time, with an earnest affection for the predominant spirit of the age—the spirit of comprehensive and sagacious reform. In the protracted and honourable career of GEORGE BYNG the character of the electors of the metropolitan county is admirably testified—for the name of that deceased Reformer is intimately associated with the history of the British Parliament during its most memorable and most worthy exercise of the legislative power. Upon all our greatest political benefactions, dating back some half century, the name of Mr. BYNG was invariably recorded in the most creditable position. In every question in volving the happiness of the people Mr. BYNG voted on the side of liberality, and as he did so simply in the capacity of representative for Middlesex, it is manifest that Middlesex continued throughout the extended career of its Member warmly and devotedly attached to the noblest principles of moral enlighten ment and social advancement. Remembering the course undeviatingly pursued by the late rather of the House of Commons, and recognising in his con duct the declaration of the sentiments entertained by the enfranchised inhabitants of Middlesex, we cannot doubt that that constituency will return to Parlia ment some man qualified to succeed Mr. BYNG, both in the capacity of his intelligence, the independence of his disposition, the generosity of his principles, and the incorruptible solidity of his character. Such a candidate has already appeared in the person of Lord R. GaosvEsion—a man every way qualified to be the successor of Mr. BYNG as the representative of Middlesex. In Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR the electors have at their acceptance a staunch and inflexible supporter of all those liberal principles which they have themselves so cordially maintained. The candidate who by the course of circumstances has been induced to solicit their suffrages is no mere fledgling politician ; his assur ances are not such as must be swallowed on trust ; he is not one of those who are compelled, on appear ing before a constituency, to become their own pane gyrists by sketching out a flattering perspective of their intentions. The past life of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR is a guarantee of his future conduct, and it is such a guarantee as constitutes an assurance to the Middlesex electors that Lord ROBERT Gaos- VENOR is a suitable candidate. In the letter of greet ing written by the Noble Lord to this constituency, and in the farewell letter also addressed by himself to his constituency of Chester, we perceive familiar indications of the fulness and enthusiasm with which he is disposed to uphold the cause of liberality and reform. On every account Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR is about the fittest man that could be found to send to the Commons' House of Parliament as Member for the metropolitan shire. Of course, at an election occurring at the moment when the present Parliament is so rapidly approach ing the limit of its legal existence, the selection of any individual candidate would be merely prelimi nary to the ultimate choice of a general election. Still it would be injudicious, and more than that, it would be a positive dereliction of duty to abate one jot of earnestness on the score of the dwindling life of the Parliament now sitting. Those who possess the prerogatives and responsibilities of the franchise should on no account regard the exer cise of those prerogatives and the satisfaction of those responsibilities with indifference. The votes of elec tors are not units, but multiply ; they go for the voices not merely of the enfranchised, but of the un enfranchised likewise. Consequently it is a perpetual duty, cn the part of every elector, to aid the development of those political opinions the predominance of which he believes to be essential to the prosperity of the country—and to aid their de velopment at all times and under all circumstances. It is r equ i s it e, t h ere f ore, t h at t h e const i tuency of the county of Middlesex should afford Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR a reception as cordial and unanimous as though this were the commencement, instead of the termination, of the present Parliament. The discussion that yesterday followed the bringing up of the report on the Address to the Crown, in the House of Commons, though somewhat discursive, was BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the entire morning wit h ordinary motions, none of which possessed any feature of interest. The Court did not afterwards sit at Nisi Prius. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DA Y.) DYER V. GREEN. This cause, which was in part heard yesterday, was an action brought under the Interpleader Act, to recover back the possession of some goods, alleged to have been wrong fully taken in execution. On the part of the plaintiff, it was stated that he had pur chased the goods in question, and produced in support thereof a bill of sale, to which was annexed a schedule of the articles purchased. Witnesses were also called to prove the purchase and sale of the goods. An objection was taken to the schedule of the goods, on the ground that it was not stamped. Mr. WATsox, for the plaintiff, coittended that there was no necessity for stamping the schedule, and that it was a sufficient compliance with the Stamp Act if the documet t were annexed to the bill of sale, that having been properly stamped. The LORD CHIEF BARON said it was clear the verdict must be for the defendant, the plaintiff having failed to make out his case ; it was absurd and ridiculous to contend that the requi,itions of the Stamp Act had been complied with. 111 r. WATSON—That is not language which I hays been in the habit of hearing addressed to me from the bench, upon arguments which I may have occasion to address to the jury on behalf of my clients; and it is unfair to the interest of the plaintiff for your Lordship to make use of such expressions. The LORD CHIEF atitoN—What I said referred only to the legal point in dispute, and had no reference to the merits of the cause, he hoped the Learned Counsel would therefore be satisfied with that explanati,n. Verdict for the defendant accordingly. DOYLE V. RICHARDSON. A rule having been obtained in this cause during the last sittings, Mr. Knowles appeared to show cause against the rule. The plaintiff was a bookseller and stationer, carrying on an extensive Indian business, and brought his action to re cover a sum for books and publication: supplied to the use of the Agra Akbar, and Indian journals, by the ordtr of the defendant, the editor of the /fining Chronicle, who was now sued for the amount of the goods supplied, the defendant alleging that the books were to be sent to India, and that the bill for payment was to be sent to the defendant, who upon the trial denied his liability, contending that he, was only to be the medium through which the payment was to be made. It was finally arranged that the clerk to the plaintiff should attend before their Lordships at their private room on Saturday morning at ten o'clock, and produce all the books kept by the plaintiff in which any entry was made relative to the transaction in question. COMMON PLEAS -t THIS DAY.) BLAKE V. PHINN. Mr. Cumewicx JONES moved for a rule to enter a non suit in this case, which was tried during the last Middlesex sittings after term, beeore Mr. Justice Coltman. The action arose out of the bargain for a public-house. The plaintiff bargained with the defendant for the house in question, and paid a deposit of 54/. 19s. 2d. Subsequently the plaintiff ob jected to the title as bad, and not receiving his deposit money back, he brought his action and got a verdict fur the amount. The point now rested on the validity of the title. The court reserved their decision till they had consulted Mr. Justice Coltman. CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES.

George Abbot who has been several times rem an d e d on a c harge of stealing a quantity of miscellaneous property from Lincoln's Inn Hall, where he acted as stoker, was again brought before the magistrate (Mr. Henry) this morning, but as there was no further evidence ready, the case was not entered into at any length. --- „ Mr. HE NRY remanded the prisoner till Wednesday next, observing that if Mr. Inspector Pearce (who has conducted the case) was not then prepared to complete the evidence, he would commit the prisoner for trial. on the case as it stood. It was intimated that several witnesses would be produced who had not hitherto appeared, and that it was expected that the prosecutor's watch would be found and produced. MARLBMY-STREET-(THIS DAY). William Spencer was charged with driving a ginger -beer cart furiously in Berners-street last night, and with running the shaft of the cart about fourteen inches into the shoulder of a cab horse. Witnesses were called, who deposed to the defendant being drunk at the time, and that he had sufficient warning from the cab-driver to have pulled up or driven out of the way. The damage could net be estimated this morning on account of the very doubtful issue of the injury done to the horse. Mr. HARDWICK fined him forty shillings for furious driving, and left it open to the cab-proprietur to sue the miner of the cart by action for damages.

During the last week, the deep and loud sounds of ear nest political movement in Ireland have been added to the still increasing cry of Irish famine. Two great political meetings have been held at the Rotunda, in Dublin, one on the 13th, the other on the 14th instant The Minister or the journalist who would neglect the omens afforded by either of these meetings, or meet them with scorn or with defiance, would ill deserve the character either of patriotism or of sagacity. The first meeting was an aggregate assembly of that portion of the Young Ireland party resident in Dublin. It was crowded to excess—conducted with order—distin guished by eloquence of a high class—but marked by the most passionate bitterness towards England. The great argument used was the following one—foruible, we admit, but far from conclusive against the possi• bility of a good united Government. " England promised Ireland every kind of advantage, social and commercial, if we would consent to the union. Amongst others, she consented to extend to us a full participation in all British rights and privileges. The union was carried. England assumed the uncontrolled mastery of Ireland. The legi.slative and the executive power over Ireland have been now absolutely in the hands of England for forty-six years. The very hands that administered those powers in Ireland, have, during that period been almost all British. Lord-lieutenants, secretaries, chancellors, heads of offices, have been, almost without exception, English and Scotch. Irish mind, Irish knowledge, Irish experience, has been almost altogether excluded from influence in. Ireland. Irish re monstrance has been almost' invariably received by those British governors with contumely or neglect, and the results have been a praCtical exclusion from all beneficial British rights, increasing poverty, decreasing trade, destitution, famine, and starvation. How much of this bitter argument is true, and how much erroneous, we shall not now pause to examine. Most certainly it is the heartfelt passionate belief of a Lumber of cur Irish fellow-countrymen, and, as such, it is deserving of patient and careful consideration even by those who do not concur in it. As a specimen of the unfortunate feeling. of this meeting, we subjoin the following extract from the speech of Mr. MITCHELL, who, after enumerating the blessings flowing from a good government, proceeded to say— " These are the cheicest blessings, and ought to be the dearest treasures of a nation of men. Where these aro to be found, agitation is a crime. Wheresoever on the face of the earth there is such a relation between the Government and the people, then let no demagogue breathe his poison into the popular ear. Let men till their lands, and ply their trades, and eat their daily bread in peace. But, my friends, have we such a Go vernment as this? Are those precious blessings known to us, save by reading, and hearsay, and the dreams of poets? Who in Ireland obeys the law for the love of it? —(Cries of No one.') Who in Ireland honours the State or trusts the Legislature ?—(Loud cries of No one.') Government! what is the thing which we call Government here ? A a machinery for insuring payment of our annual subsidy to England.—(Cheers.) What is the Viceroy ? A steward to superintend England's store-farm, and keep the labourers in order.—(Cheers.) What is the Castle? An office where England's business is done. Since the first year of this century you have been strangers on your own soil. The laws are not made for you, but against you. And see what has become of all this. Behold the crowning year of the union. For 46 years the ruling natian hes been drawing her tri bute regularly, and she has brought us to this at last. Exhaustion can go no farther. The destruction of our crop flings, more than half our people into the very jaws of death ; and when their impetial treasury lends us some of our own money to keep us alive, on the security of our. lands and mortgaged industry, they dare to call it alms. But I was wrong to say dare ; what is it they dare not do to us ? Are they not our masters? And after all it is alms. The money is not ours. The land is not ours. The industry is not ours. The nation that governs not itself has nothing. Nothing in heaven above, nor in the earth beneath." The immediate results of this meeting was the forma tion of a body, stiled " The Irish Confederation," a na me borrowed from the American Confederation, and no doubt intended to labour for a similar object. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in his speech, announced to the meet ing that Mr. ROBERT HOLMES was to be regarded as the head of this Confederation. We hope this announcement may turn out incorrect. There is no man in Ireland more to be respected and admired than Mr. HOLMES, the greatest Irish lawyer, the most consistent Whig, the most incorruptible patriot, of great wealth, and now more than 80 years of age. The adhesion of such a man to a party so hostile to England, would indeed be a subject of deep regret. The argument of" The Irish Confederation" above mentioned, is also, to a certain extent, at present in the mouths of the Old Ireland party. Mr. J. O'CONNELL, at the meeting of the Repeal Association last Monday, declared that, above all things, it would be the duty of the Irish Members to say to the Minister in the House of Commons, "Remember, we are in the 47th year of the union with Great Britain,—remember that during the last 47 years we have had no controul over the des tinies of our country, which have been under your con troul and management during that period. Yes, for the last 47 years, you English, superior in intellectual qualifications, and in matters of common sense, as you consider yourselves to be, have had the government of Iwikv , • f li - Erlt pablish A e•O A.Lkrase_ IC ; 1:11: k g, Siege s eal Itidexes.'
