The further intellige*„ whichacut p las just been ,d i p Mont ezuma ed , brought from America by the mingled down to the Sth instant , will be peruse 1? feelings of satisfacti on and regret. Thesvtiitttih7 and tb will be excited in relation to t he Thr ee Million fate of the " Wilmot proviso ;" the former will be derived from the decision arrived at b y the House of Representatives in favour of re. jecting the Bill introduced by the Government for augmenting by 20 per cent. the duties on tea i and coffee, fir purposes of revenne. Congress kcoucluded its session on the 4th intant. The entire purport of ih... Three Million Bill is to "enable the President to conclude a treaty of peace, limits and tountlAriee, with the republic of Mexico, to be tired by him in the event that said treaty, when signed by the authorised agents of the two Governments, and duly ratified by Mexico, shall call for expenditure." If anything could add to the disgrace which Mr. Poex has accumulated upon himself and the Govern ment of the United States, from the Very commence ment of hostilities with Mexico, it is furnished to the full by the terms of the foregoing resolution. It is nothing more nor less than a wholesale authority to second their military efforts against a deeply in jured people by the detestable influences of bribery and corruption. The whole civilised world would re joice, should the insidious, demoralising, and shame less policy of Mr. POLK be signally_ upset by a con tinuance of the patriotic resistance which, contrary to his expectations, has been already unflinchingly offered by the Mexicans. Everybody knows that, after the opprobrious man ner in which the Texas was incorporated with the States, in consequence of which the country annexed is now subject to the curse of slavery, from which it was formerly free, the President never dreamt of carrying his project of aggrandisement beyond the Rio del Norte, which he desired that Mexico should cede and recognise as the proper boundary of the extended territory of the States ; and that when he found, from negotiations then pending, that Mexico was reluctant to conform to his views, he determined upon invading neutral ground to the south of the Rio del Norte, in the hope of extorting a concession by force, to which he could not in justice set up any reasonable claim. From that period the Mexicans have stoutly declined to entertain any overtures for peace, until Mr. POLK shall have first withdrawn his forces, military and naval, to the positions which they originally occupied. Had this laudable and spirited requirement been com plied with, we doubt not that the differences between the belligerents might have been speedily adjusted ; but as Congress has failed to compel the President to retrace his unjustifiable and aggressive steps, the war will be necessarily protracted. Every honour able sympathy is enlisted in favour of the southern republic. It appears now, as indi cated by the tenor of the Three Million Act, that the President is intent upon acquiring some por tion of Mexican territory, and, by the rejection of Mr. IVlLssofs proviso, that, in any such fresh acqui sition the laws of slavery will be introduced. It is impossible, therefore, to regard these proceedings of the American Government with feelings other than those of unmitigated disgust. On the other hand, as be fore remarked, we rejoice that the principles of free trade have been preserved intact, and that Mr. POLK has been unable to persuade Congress to compromise them in the way he proposed with respect to the duties upon tea and coffee. Another feature of congratula tion is presented by the magnificent contributions which have been raised for the relief of the destitute Irish. In New York the Roman Catholics have recently obtained in their churches upwards of 13,000 dollars for this truly benevolent object. From Boston, Quebec, and other cities nearly 300,000 dollars bare been remitted. Such munificent charity richly merits the grateful eulogium which Lord JOHN RUSSELL paid to it in the House of Commons. Our commercial interests are implicated in the preservation or rupture of tranquillity in the Levant, otherwise we should be indisposed to trouble our selves with the slightest reference to the drawing-room squabbles of the Greek SOVEREIGN. Contemptible as the incident apparently is of a Turkish emissary being huffed at the behaviour of Oruo, on the occasion of a grand ball in the Athenian palace, it is never- theless one of those trivial circumstances which have frequently before now changed the whole destinies of a country, and produced the most disastrous out breaks. Unless these frivolous misadventures be- tween kings and ambassadors are prevented from assuming importance by fomenting jealousies into abhorrence, and transforming a casual pique into an ineradicable hatred, the peace of the world would be continually endangered, and the lives of its rulers perpetually embittered. It is among the most meritorious offices of a diplomatist to destroy these germs of war on their first budding into existence. By acting as peacemakers in these almost domestic contentions of the palace, they may always invest-their ministerial careers with-the dignity of patriotism. Nor can the responsibility of aiding in reconciliations, after the recurrence of such petty misunderstandings, be regarded as in any manner derogatory to the elevation of their official characters. Were the ministers of the different Oriental Princes to occupy themselves by endeavouring to become the securities of national quietude, by suppressing and eradicating these rancorous emotions on their first appearance, they would be conferring more substan tial benefits upon their country than by abetting spoliation or encouraging rapine. England is in a peculiar manner called upon to scrutinise the behaviour of the Greek Government at this delicate juncture ; it is called upon to observe the changes of her relations with Turkey, because upon the continued amity between those two empires depend the conservation of British interests along the eastern shores of the Mediterra nean. Beyond this, we have rendered ourselves, to a considerable extent, responsible for the excellence and sagacity of the government of °TITO, until it has become matured by longer existence and the wisdom acquired by the consequent experience. For these reasons, therefore, it is befitting for us to watch with a jealous precaution the progress of legislation in that still embryo dominion and the aspect of its rela tionship with the neighbouring potentates. From the correspondence which has just appeared, com prising letters between his Majesty the King of GREECE and the Sublime Porte, and others between JEAN COLETTI and ALI EFFENDI, it would appear that there is a secret estrangement between the SULTAN and his august neighbour. How far this estrangement may yawn into an abyss of animosity depends upon .the external influence of friendly Governments, and upon the vacillating sentiments and precarious temperament of the supreme administrator, COLETTI. An abrupt expression uttered by the lips of royalty to the representative of an amicable Sovereign, whether that expression be pronounced in the excitement of a levee or the languid abandon of a carousal, may be productive of gigantic consequences—consequences such as may unsettle the foundations of a kingdom and convulse the whole surface of a continent. That such is pos sible, that the fable of " the parturient mountain " may, in this manner, be reversed, has been repeatedly shown in modern as well as in ancient history. There is a mythe, or historical allegory, illustrative of this, in the very commencement of the Roman records, where REMUS is butchered in a tumult arising from the fact of his jumping over the ditch traced out for the city walls, and his brother is thereby raised to the undisputed dignity of being the commander of a little cluster of vagabonds. At the opening of the nineteenth century a still more remarkable proof of the magnitude of results flowing from insignificant incidents was afforded by the abrupt departure of the English Ambassa dor, Lord WarrwoitTu, from Paris in consequence of a few words addressed to him in the Tuileries by the First Consul. The insult offered to the Turkish Envoy by the King of GREECE may, therefore, if allowed to extend and ripen into a national grievance, become at once injurious to the future prospects of the Greeks and to the immediate safety of English merchandise in the Levant. It is incumbent upon us, therefore, to observe nar rowly the course pursued by the different Courts in this singular correspondence. The preservation of friendship between the Grecian and Turkish Govern ments is intimately blended with our commercial prosperity. Among the many complaints that have from time to time been brought forward against individual Irish landlords, few have had greater effect in exciting the in dignation and disgust of the English people than the statement that many—notwithstandingthe miseryand destitution existing at their very thresholds, the ago nies of their neighbours, and dependents, suffering under protracted famine, and dropping into untimely graves from want of the common necessaries of life—had retained large sporting establishments, and devoted to the support of horses, dogs, and other animals of an inferior class, quantities of food which might more properly have been applied to the wants of human beings, and by which the acknowledged deficiency would have been diminished, and many of their countrymen nourished and sustained, and their lives preserved to their wretched families. The charge was a serious one, and was considered sufficiently' grave to occupy the attention of the Legislature ; and one of the gentlemen inculpated in a manly and straightforward manner came forward and declared that he had parted with his dogs, and since the urgency of the famine had not kept a single useless dog. The defence wcs re ceived with cheers in St. Stephen's, and there was - not a single Member in the House, or individual out of it, who did not approve the act, and believe that the gentleman had only performed his duty, and that, had he acted in any other manner, he would have justly merited the gravest censure. Cannot the argument be carried further ? Is the question of humanity one to be decided on by geo graphical situation ? Can a person justly and pro perly do that, if removed a few miles or a few hours' journey from the scene of distress, which would be criminal on the part of another in its more immediate vicinity ? If the Irish landlord can justly be required to part with some ten or twenty greyhounds, because they would consume a sufficient quantity of food to maintain an equal number of human beings, should English noblemen or gentlemen preserve an inordinate quantity of game on their lands, to consume the crops and blight the hopes of the hard-working farmers, to demoralise and lead from the paths of honest industry many labourers, the staff and support of humble but contented families, who, but for the temptation thus afforded, might have maintained upright characters, to people the county gaols and houses of correction, to increase the county rates by the expenses of prosecutions, and the parish rates by the support of helpless and ruined families deprived of their natural guardians and protectors, and cast upon the tender mercies of the union workhouse for a wretched subsistence ? Even if these frightful re sults were not the natural consequences of the super abundance of garae, if no evils or grievances could be traced to the 'operation of the game laws, were they as harmless and innocent in themselves as they are universally admitted to be injurious and mischievous,—do pheasants and par tridges, hares and rabbits, devour so small a quantity of food as to render it a matter of trifling importance whether it should be added to the national stores ? Is the condition of the English labourer so desirable that no addition to his humble comforts are required? It is unnecessary for us to answer these ques tions. The voice of public opinion will make the responses in a louder and more commanding tone than any we could assume, and the outcry of the people, the firm but temperate appeal of millions, will demand from the Legislature redress for their wrongs and a remedy for the enormous evil. A small pamphlet, containing a few brief pages on this important subject, published under the name of " Homo," strongly depicts the injurious workings and the obnoxious effects of the game code, whether to the farmer, the tradesman, or the labourer; but the mischief is not limited to these classes ; in fact it would be difficult indeed to poiqt out any portion of society that is not injuriously affected. And, cui bono, for what use or purpose is this monster nuisance tolerated and supported? Simply that my Lord A. or Squire B. may have in their power to send an ac count to the local press of the enormous quantity of game destroyed in a few days or a few hours at some battue on their estates or manors. These butcherly exhibitions are far removed from fair sporting. They want all the elements thereof—the healthful exercise, the necessity of exertion, the excitement of the search. You might as well pride yourself on the number of domestic fowls you could destroy in a farm-yard. We should not desire to debar our country gentlemen from a fair day's sport, but it is the frightful abuses that have crept into the entire system to which we object. "Property has its duties as well as its rights," is an axiom now universally conceded, and is it consistent with the fitting exercise of that responsibility to do such public injury for the gratification of some feelings of paltry vanity or ridiculous ostentation ? Even within this week a man was tried for his life, and had a narrow escape from expiating his offence by an ignominious death on the scaffold, for a homicide committed during a poaching excursion ; as it was, he was banished for ever from his family and friends, and from his native home, while his victim, or rather the victim of the game laws, was hurried into eternity, leaving a numerous family to deplore his fate. How long will these things be tolerated in a civilized and Christia n l an d ? I A St. Petersburgh letter of the 11th says —" There are still large quantities of corn and flour here, and large supplies are expected for exportation by the White Sea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azoff. St. Petersburgh alone can furnish 1,600,000 sacks of rye flour for exportation." We read in the Swabian Mercury of the 21st : " The rumours which have been current respecting the actual position of Prussia, as ragards the European policy, have induced the King to order his Minister for Foreign Affairs to convey to the Courtsof Vienna and St. Petersburgh the most positive assurances that Prussia has not varied in the system hitherto pursued, and that the fundamental prin ciples which have influenced her in her international rela tions remain unchanged. The highest interest of Prussia, says the King, is to adhere strictly to the alliance which binds it to the two Courts. M. de Canitz has already exe cuted this order of the King." Accounts from Stuttgardt of the 17th state that a report had been current there for several days, that the Emperor NICHOLAS was expected on a visit to the Princess Royal, the Grand Duchess OLGA. The King of WURTEMBERG had been indisposed for several days. Accounts from Turin represent the King of &IR DMA. to be seriously ill. On the 17th his physicians found it necessary to apply leeches to him twice in the day, and he remained so little relieved by them that, on the 18th, they AN ere compelled to take a considerable quantity of blood from him by the lancet. Prince OSCAR of Sweden arrived at Rome on the 9th, travelling under the title of Count DE TULGARN. It was expected he would stay a week in Rome, and then proceed to Leghorn, where a Swedish ship was to be in readiness to receive him. A letter from Leghorn of the 13th says—" Arrests continue to be made in Tuscany. Amongst the pri soners are MM. BARBANERA and GEORGINI, and M. Gaossr, a physician." At a political banquet given at Porte . Molo, an individual, who had been received at Rome as a political emigrant, and treated with the greatest sympathy, rose and addressed to the assembly a most seditious speech, urging them to strike at once for Italian emancipation, and producing a tri-coloured flag. The guests immediately seized the fellow and conveyed him to the police-office, where he was at once recognised as an agent of Austria. We are without any intelligence from Spain. The Bordeaux mail, which arrived in Paris on Tuesday, did not bring the mail from Madrid. Wo have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Ministerial journal, the Dibats, is evidently annoyed at the result of the election of Vice-Presi dent. It does not attempt to disguise the importance of the election of M. ',sox DE MaLLEviLLs ; on the contrary, it rather exaggerates it, in order to produce union among the Conservatives, who, it is evident, are at present anything but an united party. Like Sir ROBERT PEEL, M. GUIZOT has ruled his party with a rod of iron, haughtily demanding from them not advice, but implicit and unreasoning obe dience, and, as in the case of Sir ROBERT PEEL, so in the case of M. GUIZOT, the non-beaureaucrats are falling off from him, and looking out for another leader, and some fine day M. GUIZOT will find the great Conservative party shivered to fragments, him self the leader of a miserable minority, and his Appo 'lents in power. The Dibats thus betrays the fears of its master. It says— " The Chamber had to nominate yesterday a Vice-Preside. nt in the room of M. Hebert, who has become Keeper of the Seals. The candidate of the Conservatives was 11. Duprat but M. Leon de Alaleville, Member of the Leff, was elected after three ballots, he having obtained 179 votes, whilst M. Duprat had only 178, Our readers will think, perhaps, that we deceive ourselves, and that we take one name for another. In nowise; it is really M. Leen de Maleville, Member of the Left, who has been nominated. It is true that the Left could not believe its ears, and that M. Leon de Maleville himself appeared quite surprised. How did this happen ? We know not; we only form conjectures. Perhaps a certain number of Conservatives who do not like M. Duprat, and who would have preferred M. Debelleyme, thought they played a clever trick against their own party in electing M. Leon de Maleville; perhaps, for we must say the truth to everybody, the Ministry did not give itself enough trouble to rally its friends, and to conduct all wish°. to the same object. We have the soi-disant progressat C servatireg, who may have voted for M. L4ou de bias "vale, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1847. after having authorised the reading of M. Duvergier de Han ranne's proposition. We have the impartial Conservatives, who would not have been vexed to give a gage of their im partiality in electing the bitterest of their adversaries to the Vice-Presidency. We have the young Conservatives, who try their talents at Parliamentary government by following merely their own caprices. We have, moreover, what is called the majority of the majority. This majority of the ma jority is not numerous; but in separating itself at a certain time, and in carrying its votes to the lett, it may cause un expected events and coups de theatre such as the election of yesterday. That always gives importance ; and they are not less Conservatives, and very good Conservatives. Only let danger arise to the monarchy and you will see ! In the meantime they amuse themselves. What is certain is, that M. Leon de Malevilie could only have been nominated with the assistance of a certain number of votes belonging to the majority ; what is certain is, that with these fine tactics the proposition of M. Duvergier de Hau ranne has not been buried in the bureaux,' as it ought to have been ; what is also certain is, that we have gone on for some time from check to check; the Opposition feels aston ishment at its success; its members only are nominated re porters on all the committees; and who knows if the propo sition of M. Duvergier de Hauranne will not be taken into ' consideration? Impartiality is such a fine thing! Be it so. But the young Conservatives, the Progressist and impartial Conservatives, all kinds of Conservatives, who desire to be distinguished by a particular name, must know well that it is in t his way that majorities dissolve. Is that the object to which they tend ? It is without doubt impossible that the different minds which compose a majo rity shall always see things with the same eye; but does it follow that every one shall vote according to his humour? If so, at each vote, parties, so to speak, dissolve themselves, and we must no longer talk of majority and of opposition. Instead of having a Parliamentary Governmenf, we should have a Government of chance, the worst of Governments! We engage Ministers also to reflect on this. Little things, when multiplied, will finish by becoming great. Some Com mittees made choice of Members of the Opposition for their reporters; no attention was paid to it. Three bureaux were formed to authorise the reading of the proposition of M. Duvergier de Hauranne ;, it was then said, ' Bah ! it is no thing—the Chamber will reject the motion for taking it into consideration Yesterday M. Leon de Maleville was nomi Dated Vice-President. This blow will be more felt. To awake we must not wait for another; we should awake per haps too late !" - - - The Constilationnelthus accounts for the Ministerial defeat. " This vote," it says, "proves, first of all, that the Chamber, which for the last three months has not taken any part in public affairs, and has been a simple observer of the Government, begins to judge this Government as we do. We have not, for our parts, seen with displeasure this Parliamentary vaca- tion, and this desertion of the public sittings. In order that a majority so powerful as that which the Ministry had obtained at the late elections should perceive the vices of the Government which it sup ports, it is good to let it have some leisure, and to allow it, in place of acting itself, to see the Administration perform its functions. Dis order in the finances, political isolation, and a deficit, are sad results, and in the end must enlighten those who do not wilfully shut their eyes. In the second place, large majorities are ea►ily irritated against a power which appears to impose on them scandal and violence. Nominations like that of M. DB CARNE, an opposition to all progress such as the Ministry at present evinces, excite distrust and call forth dis content. When the majority is turned to improper uses, it is near being lost. In fine, the favourable vote of M. LEON DE MALEVILLE is an excellent pre liminary to propositions of reform. No one has more ably and more cuttingly branded corruption with reprobation than M. LEON DE MALEVILLE. Several of his sayings remain engraved in all men's memories. The votes which he obtained are the first testimony of the sentiment which is almost unanimous in the Chamber, and of which M. DUVERGIER DE HAU.. RANNE was yesterday the eloquent organ." The National thus describes the effect produced on the Ministers by the announcement of the num bers : - " The Ministry was beaten, and congratulations poured in on the new Vice-President from all sides. The confusion of the Ministers cannot be described. M. Guizot coultnot stand it ; he went off; M. Ilebert's fierce eye was injected with blood; M. Duchatel felt himself all over with a stupid air, in order to assure himself that he was not the dupe of some hideous dream ; all the others remained nailed to their seats. M. Lacave Laplagne alone (the Minister of Finances) showed the resignation of a man accustomed to deficits." After the election on Monday the Chamber heard the explanations of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the additional credits required in his department. They approved of the appointment of a Consul at the Cape of Good Hope, and of an increase in the salary of the Chinese interpreter. The debate on the proposition • of electoral reform, brought forward by M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, was commenced on Monday, and resumed cn Tuesday. It was still pro ceeding when the post left. The disturbances in the Loiret still continue, and all convoys of grain and flour are henceforth to be escorted by soldiers. A detachment will be placed in each boat, and another detachment will accompany it. It is announced that, the Duchesse DE MONTPEN SIER is enceinte, and that she will shortly return to Madrid, accompanied by her mother, as it is deter mined that the accouchement shall take place in the country "over which her children" are to rule. It was rumoured in Paris that the Sotomayor Ministry had resigned on the 20th.

FIRE AT THE WESTMINSTER FRENCH PROTESTANT thfuncu.—Yesterday forenoon, shortly after the commence ment of divine service in the Westminster French Protes tant Church, Bloomsbury-street, St. Giles's, the congregation was thrown into a state of considerable alarm, by a report being raised that the sacred edifice had taken fire. It ap pears that for some few minutes a strong smell of burning wood was experienced, but nothing particular was thought of that circumstance, until dense bodies cf smoke commenced issuing from under the flooring boards. It then became ap parent that a fire was burning under the floor of the building. The service was immediately stopped, and several persons having procured buckets of water, they were discharged upon that portion of the church on fire. At the same time intel ligence of the outbreak was sent to the engine stations. Numerous engines of the brigade quickly attended, and the firemen, upon removing some of the flooring boards, found that the jointing, Sec., had become ignited, owing to a defect in the hot air flue used for warming the building, and there is no doubt that bad the outbreak taken place at night, after the church was closed, that it would have been destroyed. As it is the damage is not very considerable. One of the fire men was left to watch the spot and the service was resumed. THE ARMY.—DEATH OF COLONEL LINDSAY, LATE or TM: 7erlr lllGHLANDEns.—lntelligence has been re ceived of the death of this distinguished officer, which took place a short time before the departure of the last mail at Kandy, in the island of Ceylon. He entered the service as Ensign in 1794, but was for some years subsequently em ployed in home and minor services. In 1811 he proceeded to Java, and was present in the actions of the 22d of August and 16th of September. In the latter he commanded eight companies of the 78th Highlanders, and for his conluct on the field rece i ved a me d a l. I n 1814 he served during the campaign of Holland, and took part in the bombardment of Antwerp. His commissions were thus dated — Ensign , July 3, 1794 ; Li eutenant, A ugus t 22, 1794; Captain, November 22, 1801 ; Major, January 4, 1810; Lieut. - Colonel, Nov. 25 , 1813; and C o l one l, J u l y 22, 1830. Although retired from the army fo r some years , he was specially allowed to retain his rank. REPORTED CONFESSION or PLATTS, THE MURDERER. —During Monday it was currently reported that Platte, who was on Saturday last convicted of the murder of Collis, at Chesterfield, had freely and unreservedly confessed to having been a direct party in that horrible tragedy. It will be re collected that there were three individuals concerned in it, Platts, Morley, and a person at present unknown ; and that Morley died before the body of Collis was discovered, and, of course, before Platts was taken into custody; no clue having yet been obtained as to the name of the third man. We immediately instituted an inquiry into the truth of the statement respecting Platte' reported confession, and we are informed that, in the presence of several magistrates, Platts invade a statement which, although of a very rambling de :etription, left on their minds no doubt whatever of his guilt. AVe are not enabled to say more at present; but it must be 'very satisfactory to the public to know that the verdict of 1 tilektry has been so early admitted to be just. Platts' con , duct during his trial showed an almost entire insensibility to f t 'le position in which he was placed; and we understand that e h ice then his behaviour has not materially improved. We be. Hove the execution is fixed to take place on Thursday yin. 2k, April I.—Derby Mercury of yesterday. :LOSS OF A VRENCII GOVERNMENT STEAMER.— w i t learn from Captain Guird, of the French brig Irma and 'lOll- 'ast arrived at this port yesterday from Senegal, that the Fr , I Inch Government steamer Charade was wrecked off that pot,' On the day he left, and from 25 to 30 of her crew were lost...—Charlton Courier, Feb. 25. 'MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton and Share Markets were closed yesterday at Liverpool. We have received from a correspondent a letter in re ference to the - analysis of the Bank of England cir culation, given under this head on the 20th instant. We did not intend to infer, as the wi her supposes, that the circulation of notes was diminished to the extent of the re duction in notes issued, otherwise we should not have given the items in tabular form, taking special care, likewise, to insert the decrease of notes in the banking department, and append our remarks at the conclusion of the table, and not after any particular item ; and most City 'Article readers are aware, that in order to judge of the actual decrease of circulation from week to week, they have only to make allowance for any increase or decrease in the "notes" un employed in the banking department, and balance it against the alteration in the notes issued. M there may be some general readers, however, who do not rightly understand this, we subjoin the explanation, drawn up for them by a correspondent, who writes from Bristol, under the signature of " Cosmopolite" : " The notes issued are not by any means a criterion of the notes in circulation ; if they were so, then the comparison between the notes issued in the last returns, say 24,786,340, and those of March 14, 1846, 27,117,805/., would exhibit a decrease of 2,331,4651., whereas the actual deficiency in the circulation is not more than 173,485/. between these two returns. " To ascertain the exact amount of notes in circulation, you must subtract the notes remaining in the banking de partment from the notes issued, and then you will find that the circulation for the week ending March 13th, 1847, was 19,232,200/., and that on the 14th March, 1846, 19,405,685/. "The amount of bullion and securities in the issue depart ment being 24,786,340/., to which must be added 663,1211. gold and silver coin in the Bank, and you have 2.5,449,4611.; deduct therefrom 19,232,200/., the notes in circulation, and it would appear that th e B an k h as st ill a l arge sum of bullion (say 6,217,2611.) at their disposal before there can be any lawful necessity for reducing the circulation below the pre sent returns ; and as the silver loan of one million will doubtless be repaid by the bank of France at the end of this month, which, together with the large sums expected from South America and Chiva, and the Siberian gold from Russia (now that the exchanges are improving), will all tend to place the Bank of England in such a safe position as to its bullion, that further app: ehension on that head should cease, and confidence be speedily restored."

Her friends in London have made inquiries respect ing her of the master of the vessel, and he, as also some of are passengers, say that it would have bsen impossible for her to have fallen overboard without being observed. The police at Liverpool and in London have been informed of the mysterious circumstance, but up to this time have received no satisfactory intelligence. Mrs. Penn is between GO and 70 years of age, and dressed in a black gown, blue cloth cloak with cape, black scarf and coloured flowers, black bonnet and crape. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat .to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present Were the Lord Chancellor, Lard Brougham, i;nd Lord Campbell. EVANS V. SCOTT. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and Their Loupsuirs reserved their judgment. THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY COMPANY v. LINLITHGOW. The arguments in this Scotch appeal occupied their Lord. ships the remainder of the morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE- CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND took motions to-day, none of which possessed any points of interest except to the parties concerned. His Honour rose at an early hour, to attend the inaugura tion of Prince Albert as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, at Buckingham Palace. (Before Sir J. Wm RAM. ) COSTOBADIE V. COSTOBADIE. This was a suit to enforce the execution of the trusts of a will, and to obtain certain accounts of the rents and profits of an estate of 11,0001. a year. The plaintiff was the daughter and the defendant the widow of the testator. The cause turned upon the construction of the will with respect to one tf the trusts which was worded as follows :—" That my wife shall receive and take all the rents and profits of my real and personal estate, for the use and benefit of her self and my children." Mr. Romilly was heard for the plaintiff to-day, and Mr. Rolt for the defendant. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL) POTTER V. JOHNSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 91. 10s., the balance of an account for musical instruments sold to the defendant, who pleaded that he was never indebted. On the part of the plaintiff, however, a Mr. Lillywhite was called, and proved that defendant requested him to select two trombones, two clarionets and flutes, and afterwards saw them at defendant's house. The UNDER-SHERIFF stopped an examination as to whether defendant had used the instruments, considering the order and delivery sufficient to meet the plea. The value of the articles was 231. or 241. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. SMITH V. WHALEY. JOURNEYMEN'S WAGES.—This was an action to recover the sum of 2/. 55., the balance of an account for work and labour done. Mr. PETERSDORFF, who appeared for the plaintiff, said the plaintiff was a journeyman cabinet-maker, and the defendant kept a shop in the neighbourhood of Goswell-street. He (the Learned Council) could not conceive what defence there could be as the defendant had actually offered to pay part of the amount if time was given for him to pay the rest. From some cause or other, however, he did not pay any thing, and it therefore became necessary to bring this ac tion. There might be some little difficulty in making out the claim, as the plaintiff charged by time 6d. per hour, and part of that was overtime, and even on Sundays, so much was defendant in want of the work. There was also a plea of set-off on the record, one item of which was, "Board and lodging of two canary birds."—(Laughter.) He thought that such a ridiculous set-off would not be admitted after a direct admission from defendant. Witnesses were called, but could only prove that the plain tiff was in the employ of the defendant. Mr. Ashley, a cattle dealer, was called, and gave evidence that he was at the " Protective Tavern," and in August last he was present when a conversation took place between plaintiff and defendant, and the latter said he would pay a sovereign on the Monday, and the remaining 255. on the next Saturday, or Saturday afterwards. Defendant was em barrassed at the time, and never denied the debt, and fre, quently did not pay the men in full. Mr. Cuoucn submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury as to the time the plaintiff had been employed or the sum to be paid. He said that if each master was held responsible on such evidence as this, no master would be safe unless he took receipts on every occasion, for the plaintiff's particulars claimed 101. 15s. 9d. Mr. PETERSDORFF said it was for 11/. 7s. 3d. Mr. CROUCH said there was no evidence of time or value ; a part of the claim was 1 Is. 6d. for money lent, but of which not a word of evidence had been given. The UNDER. SHERIFF held there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury. Mr. Cr:arca then said that he should call evidence to show that there was an agreement that the plaintiff should be paid 4s. 6d. a day, and that defendant had been summoned to the Court of Requests, but the case had been dismissed for want of evidence. John Watts, a tin-plate maker, was called, and deposed that he was present when plaintiff applied to defendant for work, and defendant said he would give him 4s. 6d. a day, and plaintiff replied, then the society must know nothing about it. The witness said, that he had understood that this action was brought by the Cabinet-makers' Society. He had heard plaintiff borrow money of defendant. He made up de fendant's book from plaintiff's book, but a book produced was not plaintiff 's. According to plaintiff's book every farthing due had been paid. Denham, the defendant's apprentice, deposed that the book now produced as the plaintiff's time-book was not the real one. Plaintiff never complained that money was due to him. Witness kept the men's time. Plaintiff was to be paid 4s. 6d. a day. Mr. Citoucie wished to put a question, whether the Com missioner did not throw the book at plaintifrs head, and say that be perjured himself. Mr. PETERSDORFF objected. Mr. Caoucif said it was a matter of fact. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was a very irregular question. Mr. Ceoucat asked whether the Commissioner did not give defendant a protection against further process in the Court ? The UNDER-SHERIFF held that this was also an irregular question. Mr. PETETISDORFF replied. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 21. ss. 2% 13% 6% 1 i P 24% ..2% - U P 33( 11534 68 17% MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) John Crouch was indicted for stealing three sovereigns and seven shillings, the property of Richard Bray. The prosecutor, who was a fish salesman, residing in Bed fordshire, and the prisoner slept in the same room in a public house in St. John-street on the night of the 18th instant, when the prisoner took the money out of the pockets of the prosecutor's clothes, which lay beside his bed. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. In the case of Jemima Stodart, a child under thirteen years of age, who was remanded from the last sessions on the charge of stealing some trifling articles, The Learned ASSISTANT-JUD GE sa id he should order the child's father to enter into his own recognizances for her ap pearance at any time when the prosecutor should decide upon following up the charge. It was too often the case that parents sought to cast upon the State the discharge of those duties which they were bound to perform themselves towards their offspring. On Tuesday last there were no less than four cases of parents ridding themselves of the respon sibility, by prosecuting their children, and in one instance in the last session it seemed as if the money had been thrown purposely in the way of the child by its parents, in order that they might get rid of his support. Major Beniowski appeared in court this morning, in ac cordance with the terms of his bail, and ;said he protested against the postponement of the hearing of the charge pre ferred against him of assaulting Mr. Urquhart at the late Polish meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern. He had three newspapers, all of which stated that the Learned Judge re fused to give a definite answer to the applicai ion for a post ponement of the trial in his (the defendant's) absence, but the tertra of the recognizances into which he entered only re9uired his presence in the court on this day. the ASSISTANT JUDGE said the intervention of the Fast day threw the business which would have been transacted in trying felonies over to this day, so as to compel the bail cases to stand adjourned till to-morrow. After a few further observations it was decided by the Court that the case should stand over to the Bth of April, being the day appointed for hearing the bail cases at the next sessions. SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.; (Before J. W. FRESHFIELD,Esq.,and a Bench of Magistrates.) William Tucker, an innkeeper of Walton-on-Thames, who was found guilty on Monday of stealing some fowls and a bushel of peas, the property of the Earl of Ellesmere, which appeared in The Sun of that day, was again indicted for receiving fourteen fowls the property of John Johnson, of Walton-on-Thames, well knowing them to be stolen. Mr. Locke conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 3d of February last an outhouse on the prosecutor's premises was broken open, and the fourteen fowls stolen therefrom. On the following day the prisoner was seen in Guildford, with the fowls in his possession, quite dead. In answer to the constable who de tected hint, he said that he purchased the fowls of a man on the road, but that he could not find him. Ilollington, inspector of the Guildford police, said, that while the prisoner was in his custody on a previous charge, he heard him tell a man to go to his house at Walton, and tell his wife to put the fowls out of the way. Hide, another constable said, that he went to the prisoner's brother's house, on the 4th of February, and there found a basket containing fourteen fowls, which were indentitied by the prosecutor as his property. Frederick Egan, another constable, said that about seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 3d of Fe bruary, he was in a coffee-house at Chertsey, where he saw the prisoner. He was boasting that he could skin a sheep better than anyman—especially if the sheep was stolen. He also defied witness or any constable to take him into custody should he commit a felony. The prisoner left the house about a quarter of an hour afterwards, and pro ceeded towards the prosecutor's premises. The witness underwent a cross-examination by Mr. CHAR. Nocx, in which he said that he had not given evidence on any former occasion against the prisoner, but that he was called upon by the prosecutor. He was not paid, like the Mint witnesses, 7s. a day. He had only 3s. a day, which he con sidered not sufficient. He should have no objection, how ever, to receive 7s. a day. — (Laug hter. ) Mr. CHARNOCK, in his address to the jury, commented in severe terms on the evidence of Hallington, the " eaves dropping constable ;" who he considered unworthy their be lief. He read a report from the Times in which Mr. Justice Coleridge, at Cambridge, refused to receive the evidence of a constable whooverheardwsboireeicnonhviesrscautsitoundy. The Learnedsaidtohave Judge been alicly prisoner condemned such ev id ence. He therefore utteredudge publicly called on the Jury to be cautious how they receive the sole unsupported evidence of such a man. Several witnesses hav ing been called to the prisoner's character, the Chairman summed up, condemning the conduct of the Learned Counsel for the prisoner, in producing a newspaper report for the pur pose of prejudicing the minds of the jury. He really con sidered there was too much liberty taken by some of the Learned Counselin that Court, which was not allowed in eny other, and which took up unnecessarily the time of the pub lic. So much stress should not be laid upon the evidence of the police, who, he believed, in the present case, had given their evidence in a fair and straight forward manner. They had heard the whole of the evidence, and it would be for thorn to say whether the prisoner was guilty or not. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a ver dict of Guilty. Egan, the constable, was called by the chairman, and said that he had long suspected the prisoner of being concerned in various robberies committed in Walton and the neighbour hood. The license of his house had been suspended in con sequence of his bad character. The CITAIR3LiN sentenced him to six months' imprison ment for the former indictment, at the expiration of which a further term of six months' imprisonment, for having pos session of the fowls belonging to Mr. Johnson. The prisoner wished to address the Bench, but Mr. Char pock, his counsel, advised him not to do so, as the Court had acted very leniently with him on both indictments.

PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND). into Mr. J. O'CONNELL, before the House went ifo i Committee, begged to draw its attention to the dr ag o f evils that would result from putting the l a bourers id, the public works in Ireland, the doing of which we i l i oe he believed, be only consigning them to iron 3e ': misery and a speedy death. In order to : s h rwa o ilo w ne t t h tf e a rst e e db a e ' tent of the evil that was likely to ensue the HoT ' - " t ' or officialsst, l u e t; m e an t. r i e nT a d hle s r e en v l a e on r n a d. l is l it e : t tin t i e nb r g s e r theirf t r h o e m n ra c ep l e iap r dr g d _ e _l e c eec To e n . and ns 00 0-I :_r s from the Freeman's Journal, givinr, od distress in Cavan, Longford, Kildare, Waterford, rt other parts of Ireland, stating that parso ns h o ldi n g 00 ., e ' two, three, and four acres of - land, were red uce d 10 P great destitution as those who had no land w h a tel These poor people had to this moment borne tl . ! e n sufferings with the greatest patience and resigua t '%i and he thought this should give them a st, stronger claim on the Government to preserve thew from starvation. lie implored the Government to inter fery even now, and exert themselves to avert the entire annihilation of the people of Irelan d . Mr. S. O'BRIEN concu rred with the Honour-01! Member for .Kilkenny, that the mode by w hich the disbanding of the laboure rs from the p uhl!e, orks was proposed to be carr ied into effect would produce the greatest mischief. He thought th e mm i commencedt t ee s , should reliefn haveCohe other the transfer from the one mode of relief to t tto be their labours u Inodnegr since,the n eswo that suffering to the people. He hoped the appeal or. ; could be brought about more effectively, and with . IV Hun. Member for Kilkenny- would have the effect of inducing the Government to come forward now, at a.° eleventh hour, and do something to avert the wholesale destruction of the ople. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that the greatest 0141 was necessary in removing the labourers from th e wor o l e , and though twenty per cent. of the labourers wer e, ro . dered to be struck off on the 20th inst., a great disc ili g tion was left to the Irish Government to apply i cb order as it might think advisable. The accounts w h ore they had of late from Ireland were muc h °l o w cheering.—(Hear, hear.) Provisions were flowi n g ths t the country in great abundance. Thus proving Iv . the Government, in leaving the providing of then Dell visions to private enterprise, were correct in that os e and in the anticipations they had formed of its an e t i o g In the port of Limerick alone he had accounts e i t il o ce that 23,000 tons of bread-stuffs had been importe n to September last, and there were 150 vessels at prese" the Shannon laden with provisions. 10' Mr. SHAW thought it unsafe to remove 0 0 0 bourers from the works by any strict rule—at AN t his till the relief committees were appointed, as h i' the means the transfer from the one mode of relief in other would be less felt. eiSe Sir GEORGE GREY said if the Hon. Ge D ",i e tli o would refer to the papers which had been furnisbard oot morning he would find that the relief works WO ; be discontinued until the relief committees were 113 of operation ; he would also find that an inere fis c otr 250,000 men had recently taken place in last flexion with some of the works. From the th at report of the Board of Works it appeare" the farmers had experienced some difficulty in obte l , i e pa persons to work at field labour. What his Hon• • ; I. ,,the had stated was not that a simultaneous reduction n o ca persons employed on the public works would tal cs Poe in every locality, but a gradual reduction. Th e l ag when such reduction should take place, and the ss -ple being left to the Board of Works. There wes,. si dlell employment now in field labour for those who Jas the public works. t he Lord G. BENTINCK said he could not all% - ec re last observati on o f th e Ri g ht H on . B arone t the bo ot tary of State for the Home Department to pass vv r t p ee some notice. That Right Hon. Baronet bad jo : e ., r e on the House that, although cultivation might beg 07, 1 in in some parts of Ireland, yet it had been discontinilt had other parts from causes over which the Governra ee re ss' no influence ; but when the House recollected the P os e ing letter of the Earl of Besborough, in Jannall„,lll to Lord John Russell, urging him to cause a t he of seed to be sent to Ireland, and stating h tt there were many parts of I re l an d in wh i ;hon / was not possible fo r th e f armer t o o bt a i n seed iv ic ose the assistance of the Government. When the also recollected that Captain Wynn sent a letter ' ci 'oo same effect, and then that the Government cam e 0 0 1 to that House in the first fortnight of the sess ion, announced that it was their intention to advance s , ° ; c eth for seed ; and further, that it was not till the 04 ; i son hour—till they had given the whole Irish peopl e I.- th e to believe that they would receive assistance fr om last Government ; and further still, that at th e be moment the Government had disappointed therni'ot was perfectly justified in saying that the Gover f/ c or had exercised a most pernicious influence over th e 00 0 vation of the soil. Wh, when there were 10 Lere farmers in Ireland who, thinking the Government "old prepared to make the advances they had proposed, had when they re collected that the Lord-Lieutenaoo,3e pressed the Government not to furnish green e we rs but corn seeds, and that the farmers o r led to believe that they would be bed plied with corn seed, and when they 0 4 induced the farmers to purchase green che out of their own funds, the Chancellor of the P r ..ish uer now came down fo the House and told the Pod people, in this place, that the 50,000/. was to be tol t i t bef not for corn seed, but for the green crop, whtem 0 ,30 would not require till the summer, and whie'3ere' only be useful for turnips, parsnips, and grass. Te t her fore, he (Lord G. Bentinck) wanted to know vit..ent under these circumstances, her Majesty's GoTeru or se were not most blameable with respect to the c e n ,ji they had taken with regard to the 54 , :0 0 of seed. Then he could not allow ev t be • of the observations of the Right Hon. Gentleman go Secretary for Ireland to pass without observation.
