Morning .. 45 minutes after 6. Evening .. 9 minutes after 7 these ebullitions of feeling on the part of the French Government and its organs, that we cannot presume for a moment but what the matter must be brought to a conclusion in a way appropriate to the preceding circumstances—that is to say, in a manner rather ludicrous than terrible. When every reasonable Legislature would have been striving to conciliate the jealous population of the Peninsula, the Legis lature of France is forwarding to Madrid snuff boxes, ribbons, and a live novelist! When we should have expected from every one of usual intelligence and of ordinary sense of propriety a manly retractation, or a dignified withdrawal from office, M . GuizoT and his colleagues are sulkily re fraining from joining the guests of the Marquis of NORMANBY. The Noble Lord is assuredly entitled to the lenient consideration of his political antago nists at home, considering the delicacy of his position among such eccentric diplomatists—a position scarcely one jot less delicate than that of Lemuel Gulliver among the one-eyed philosophers of the flying island.: On Thursday morning the Solicitor-General of Ireland was declared duly elected to serve in the Im perial Parliament as the representative for Galway, and repeal has been defeated in what may be con sidered one of its strongest holds in the capital of the Far West. The contest was, indeed, one of unex ampled severity, and, until the very last moment, the victory remained doubtful. Even after the closing of every booth it was impossible to speak with certainty as to the final result, and counsel on either side were engaged in arguing on the admissibility of several votes, and a close scrutiny was instituted into the qua lifications of the electors appearing on the list, during which several were struck off at either side ; at length the " Union Jack " waved in triumph, while the banner of repeal was for the first time, in the " city of the tribes," depressed by defeat, and trailed in the dust. Much may, undoubtedly, be ascribed to the personal qualifications and strong cl aims of Mr. MONAHAN on the constituency, and perhaps no other candidate could have been found who would have succeeded in defeating so powerful an opposition ; but still the unexpected victory will inflict " a heavy blow and a great discouragement" throughout all "repeal land." The utmost exertions were used en behalf of the unsuccessful candidate, the feuds of "old" and " young" Ireland were, for the time being, patched up, and "moral force" and " physical force" men, united by a temporary armis tice, strained every nerve for O'FLAHERTY and repeal. All the arts of electioneering tactics were made use of, and little attention was paid as to the propriety of the means adopted : forged letters were written, and even a fictitious slip purporting to have been expressed by ourselves, and announcing the downfal of the Rus sell Ministry, was brought into the town, and the erroneous intelligence circulated throughout the entire locality, and for a short time implicitly be lieved; the most erroneous accounts were sent in every direction where voters could possibly be supposed to be residing, generally stating a considerable ma jority for O'FLAHERTY from the time of the last official declaration of the state of the poll, until it became notorious that not the slightest credence could be given to any rumour of that description ; while the " physical force phalanx " brought their theories into practical operation, and were not satis fied with heaping contumely and reproach on the supporters of the British connexion, but too fre quently had recourse to the Irish method of persuasion, and not only damaged the windows and other property of, but also frequently inflicted severe violence on, and injury to, the persons of the Monahan party ; and yet, not withstanding all these unparallelled efforts, the Soli citor- General was returned by a majority of four. Great, however, as the tumult and excitement had been during the progress of the contest, it was fear fully increased when the final result became gene rally known. The mob became infuriated to the highest degree, stones were hurled in every direction, until it became necessary to call out the military and police. The Riot Act was read, and but for the great f;.)r bearance of the soldiers many of the peophi must have fallen victims to their own rashneas and insanity. The Solicitor-General will be a most valual;le auxiliary in St. Stephen's to the Government; his thorough knowledge of the Irish law, the soundness of his judgment, the clearness of his intellect, and the lucidity of his style, will render him a most desirable addition to the Ministerial ranks. There is at present a singular dearth of Irish lawyers on either side of the House. With the ex ception of Mr. O'CONNELL, no man who has attained any, degree of eminence at the Irish bar has a seat in the House ; no law officer of the Crown for that country has been in Parliament since Mr. T. B. C. SMITH was appointed Master of the Rolls, with the exception of the short period during which Mr. PIGOT attended after his acceptance of the Chief Barony, and yet the presence of one of these functionaries is almost essentially necessary. With out pretending to any extraordinary power of vaticination we venture to prophecy that few more useful or more popular members have ever been added to the Legislature than Mr. MONAHAN will very speedily become. His return, therefore, may be regarded as a fitting sub ject for congratulation to the Cabinet, but there is anottier reazon why it should be peculiarly so beyond any we have yet alluded to. It affords the strongest evidence that their gigantic exertions on behalf of Ireland generally, are known and appreciated ; that their good intentions and anxious desire for her amelioration and elevation in the social scale are acknowledged, and that many who have hitherto advocated a separation of the Legislatures and a do mestic Irish Parliament, have been won over to a con-, tinuance of the union between the kingdoms by their sense and knowledge thereof. It will be in the recollection of our readers that a contest was not ventured on in Dungarvan when its representation became vacant on Mr. SHEIL'S accept ance of office, because there was not a certainty of success. We may, therefore, fairly assume that it would not have been undertaken in Galway, unless a victory was looked upon as almost certain; indeed the former elections would naturally lead to such an opi nion. At the last general election two repealers walked over the course, and when previously a con test was ventured on the Whig candidates were de feated by large numerical majorities. The present triumph may, therefore, be regarded as most desirable in every point of view. On Friday evening, in the House of Lords, Lord STANLEY and his chosen band tried their strength with the Government. His Lordship divided the t 'House upo n an amen d men t th a t th e Bill s f or per mitting o s f e s l u ec g t a c r o i m n m b i r t e te w e e . ries Th a e nd diviin distilleries sowas be referred the useo a favourable to the Ministers, and there can be no doubt that these measures will soon rank among the laws of the land, clothed with the character which, in justice to the colonies, and a due regard to the com mercial interests of the mother country, they ought to bear—that of being permanent. Notwithstanding the adroitness in debate for which the Protectionist leader in the Upper House is renowned, Lord STANLEY'S recent speech was a miserable failure; and, looking to the part which hil Lordship took with reference to the Canadian Corn Bill, when a member of the late Government—a part to which we have on former occasions, whilst advocating the ap plication of free-trade principles in relation to sugar, drawn the attention of our readers, and of which Lord CLARENDON did not fail very aptly to remind Lord STANLEY on Friday night—we must say that a covert opposition to the Bills in question could have come from no quarter with a worse grace than from his Lordship. The principles of the Canadian Corn Bill and the pending sugar measures, as well as the circumstances under which the former was pressed, and the latter are urged upon the attention of Parlia ment, are as identical and parallel.as could well be conceived. Thus Lord STANLEY'S conduct is palpably inconsistent. If his Lordship was right on Friday, he was clearly wrong in 1845, when, in opposition to the Protectionists of that year, he suc ceeded in carrying through the House of Commons, and in accordance with an implied pledge as solemn as any pledge of such a nature could be made by the Legislature, the Bill which favoured the importation of Canadian corn into this country. Nobody at that time enlarged with greater force than did Lord STANLEY upon the expediency, not to say necessity, of a strict adherencQn the part of the Britj§b rar• liament to. the fulfilment of that pledge. In the case before• us we have precisely the same facts. Last year ' we exposed West India sugar to competition with foreign produce of the like nature. The late peliod of- the session prevented the Govern ment from benefiting the West India colonies by granting them an equitable quid pro quo, by a removal of the prohibitions against the use of sugar for the purposes of brewing and distillation; but it was distinctly intimated that all fiscal regulations prejudicial to their interests should be abandoned as early as possible. This assurance was given to them not only by the present, but also by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and yet the statesman who would now treat with levity the faith thus im parted to the colonists by two successive Ministries, is the very man who, not two years since, repudiated such a proceeding in terms of eloquent indignation. Nothing, therefore, we repeat, could be more devoid of grace than Lord STANLEY'S late party manoeuvre. As an act of common justice we should have been bound to pass the present Sugar Bills, if Irish distress had not intervened, as, unhappily, it has, to render their enactment all the more desirable. Hence, simply to associate them with their bearings in mitiga tion of the sufferings of our famine-stricken felloW-subjects, in order to build up an argument in favour of making them temporary, in the place of being permanent in their operation, is a selfish, dis honourable, and vicious pretext. All these questions 'are now handled in a proper spirit; they are disposed of solely with reference to considerations of re venue. The argument of protection, synonymous with monopoly, is exploded for ever. It is gratify ing to glean from Earl CLARENDON'S able and lucid speech, that whilst we are acting justly towards the West Indians, the revenue will become improved by the substitution of sugar for malt in our breweries. On the other hand, the agriculturists have no just grounds for alarM, seeing that too free a use of sugar in the manufacture of beer would serve to deteriorate its quality. Altogether, we regard the Iproceedings in the House of Peers on Friday evening with great satisfaction. Of all the great administrative reforms of modern times, the most important is, perhaps, the Post-office re form, of which Mr. ROWLAND BILL was the great ori ginator. That he was originally appointed to carry out hir own plans by the Government of Lord MELBOURNE, that he was not continued in office by the Government 01 Sir R. PEEL, and that he has again become connected with the Post-office under the Government of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, are facts of which the public are cognizant. But the exact nature of his connexion with the establish ment in St. Martin's-le-Grand—the nature of the reforms which he proposed to introduce and his power to carry them out, are matters of which the public have hitherto been entirely ignorant. We have, however, received some degree of knowledge on these subjects from his speech at the meeting of the Liverpool Guardian Society, which will be found in another column. To that speech we would direct the particular attention of our readers as containing a succinct resume of the history of the working of the penny postage for the past, of its proba ble prospects for the future, and of the various reforms which Mr. HILL proposes to introduce to make his plans complete. There is one subject to which we hope Mr. RowLAND HILL will direct his particular attention, that is the hour of the departure of the morning mails. Those mails leave iu general at ten o'clock, which is about the most incon venient hour for departure out of the whole four-and twenty. The object of a morning mail is to secure such a delivery and redeparture as that the answer to a letter posted by that mail may be received the same day, ant it would puzzle the ingenuity of any one who wished b, render such a scheme abortive, to appoint an hour for the departure ,of the morning mail which would more effectually do so than the hour of ten o'clock in the morn ing. But while it is the duty of the Post-office authorities to adopt any measure that can by possibility conduce te, the accommodation of the public, it is a duty incumbent on the public to, place no let or hindrance in the way ot the Post-office authorities ; and Mr. Hill gives a ion, catalogue of lathes on the part of the public, which are deserving of the severest reprobation. For this list we must refer the reader to his speech—but will it be be lieved,,that during the course of the year, an immense number of letters containing money are put into the Post• office, absolutely without any direction at all ; that man) have merely the name of the party for whom they are in tended written on the cover, and that more have merely the name and the word " London" as the whole address and superscripticn ? If the careless persons posting those letters were the only losers, it would be a mattei of little consequence, but the mischief is, that the officers of the Post-office have their time, which is the time 0; the public, wasted in attempts to ascertain the senders of these letters, and the deliveries of properly addressed letters ure consequently retarded. We read in a letter from Lucerne of the 12th— ,, The trial of the persons accused of being concerned in the assassination of M. Leu took place on the 10th, before the Criminal Tribunal, in the presence of a crowded auditory; and yesterday the Tribunal delivered judgment. Michael Achermann was condemned to death ; Rosa Felix, mother of Muller, to 18 years imprisonment; A. Muller, brother of F. Muller, to the pillory and to bard labour in irons; Corrag gionio, Huster, Lorentz, and Schrnikt were acquitted, but the last two were condemned to ten months' imprisonment for having taken part in the expeditions of the free corps; AL Bidder was acquitted of complicity in the murder, but not appearing, was condemned to death for having been con cerned in the free corps expeditions; a similar sentence was passed upon Lieut. Brunner; Zoreichen was acquitted; Tenanz Reiners was sentenced to two months' hard labour; and Troller was acquitted. M. Corraggicni, though declared not guilty, had remained sixteen months in prison." Madrid papers to the 13th have arrived. Senate The Gac - eta publishes the follo w i ng as the reply of th e QUEEN to t herea Address greatest pleasure o f the noble :—" sentiments I have heard which;o it u have hthe g manifested in the name of the Senate, and I rely on your loyal co-operation for assur i ng the welfare of our country. It will be recollected that in the Chamber of Deputies, before the commencement of the debate on the Address, Senor SAGASTI p ut certain questions to the as to their willingness to lay before the Chamber a copy of the will of FE RDINAND V II., to which Senor BRAVO Muniu.o, speaking on the part of the Ministry, declined to g i ve a positive answer. On this question the Clamor Publico says— " The present Ministry seems disposed to refuse to submit to the Cortes the marria g e contracts of the Queen and the Infanta. The nation has the right to know what has becom e of the patrimonial fortune left b y Ferdinand VII. to his au gust daughters. It is in vain that it is pretended that a con fidential character should be attributed to the successor o , Ferdinand VII., and to the marriage contracts of his two children. It is generally admitted among nations constitu tionally governed that monarchs cannot possess personal pro perty. There exists in Spain a high moral reason, which strongly recommends the measure proposed by M. Sagasti : For reasons perhaps unfounded public opinion makes many comments on the destination given to the great property of Ferdinand VII.; it speaks of mysteries, of losses, of opera tions, on which it is important light should be thrown in the interest, and for the honour of the persons compromised ; and therefore it is that a profound examination ought to be made into the succession, heretofore too mysterious, of Fer dinand VII. It is almost Impossible that in the marriage contracts of a Queen, and an heiress presumptive of the Throne, there should not be some stipulations affecting the interests of the nation, which are so closely united with those of the reigning dynasty. The enemies of the present order of things suppose that the ten millions just ordered to be paid to the Queen's household, are destined to cover a part of the sum that the Duke de Montpensier should have received on account of the fortune of our Infanta, and also to cover a part of the sum ad vanced, nobody knows by whom, to the famous General Flores. A thousand comments are made on this subject. People do not understand how it is that in moments of embarrassment, and without any apparent necessity, ten millions should be drawn from the public treasury, or what is worse, be borrowed at 5} per cent. interest, whilst no aid is given to the widows of those who have fallen on the field of battle. At the very moment at which the ten millions were carried to the Palace there was at the doors of the Treasury an innumerable crowd of un happy wretches, widows and orphans, who were asking for bread. Orders were obliged to be given to the officer on duty to disperse this melancholy assemblage; but the armed force discharged its duty with the greates t delicacy, so much did the state of the poor unfortu nates a waken its pity ! We hope that the Ministers will hasten to deny ail the rumours afloat, which are no doubt erroneous. The nation is inte rested in knowing to what purpose the ten milliotis just de livered have been devoted. The Ministry ought to publish detailed accounts of the public expenses, and of the manner in which they have been employed, in conformity with the law relative to the budget. It is only thus that it can silence malevolent reports, save its own responsibility, and conciliate public esteem." MADRID Boma, FEB. 13.—The Three per Cents. were done at 32 for cash; the Four per Cents., at 20%; the Five per Cents., at 20 1 ,4 : the Debt without Interest, at 64 ; and the Coupons, at _ We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Presse of Friday contains a furious attack upon Lord PALMERSTON because he does not expel the Count DE MONTEMOLIN from England. The writer in the Presse forgets that England is a country free, not in name only, but in reality, where neither SOVEREIGN nor Ministers have the power of interfering with the per sonal liberty of even a foreigner, and where (and it, would be well that the same could be said Nsith equal truth of all constitutional Governments), as the SOVEREIGN reigns by the law, so must the SOVEREIGN obey the law, not in appearance only, but in deed and in truth. The large majority by which Lerd G, )3Eparscx'e motion was defeated has operated " as a heavy blow and a great discouragement" to the Guizot party, who have of I ate been actively intriguing for a change of Ministry in England. The Ministerial journalists are scarcely able to conceal their disappointment. Of the tone adopted by the Opposition the following extract from the Commerce will give an idea : "The English Ministry have obtained a majority of 204 votes. This result was not doubtful. But the effect of this vote is, that the Whig Ministry is firmly fixed in its place ; for in England, where the constitutional regime is sincere, majorities are real, and when they announce themselves they give the Ministry a certitude of existence. The strength which the English Ministry displays is a rude blow to M. Guiz( t, who also disposes of an immense majority, but which, thanks to corruption, does not represent the veritable will of the country. The relations between M, Guizot and Lord Palmerston are evidently such that the two. Ministers cannot remain in face of each other without danger of a per sonal irritation, the consequences of which are but too easy to calculate. Which of the two Ministers will yield to the other, for the two countries are determined not to have a war ? A single fact will decide the question—namely, the more or less reality offered by each of the majorities which support the two Ministers. At present M. Guizot, better than any other person in France, ought to comprehend how ephemeral and false are the triumphs procured by corrup tion. The Cabinet which weighs on us for six - years, has undertaken the task of extinguishing all the general passions of politics. In their place, it has excited the whole circle of private interests. That it is exceedinglyuseful and even in dispensable to maintain one's self in a country in spite of its wishes, its progress, and its dignity ; but if a moment comes when energy of action or resistance is required, a Ministry who has weakened and corrupted everything, seeks in vain around it, in a desperate case, for true convictions, spontaneous resources, and force of public opinion. What it finds is a majority of solicitors, satisfied or to satisfy, which has no will of its own, and of which the approbation is insured in advance to every act and every word—a pro digality of submission, sometimes embarrassing, but never a support or assistance. Had there been a real Conservative majority in the Chamber, that majority on taking on itself to blame M. Guizot for certain procedes in the Spanish mar riages, would have rendered to France the great service of detending the accomplishment of these marriages, and of re-establishing an alliance necessary to the peace of the world. But far from that, what we have in the guise of a majority could only bow down before all that it pleased•M. Guizot to say and do; and here we have the majority, the Chamber, the representation, the country, responsible for all the sayings and doings of M. Guizot ! as if the policy of M. Guizot, with all his procedes, his surprises, and his petty necessities for denials, was the highest point of the policy of France!" The Marchiorffss of NORMANDY gave a grand rout on Friday evening. The rooms were thronged with the elite of the British and foreign personages of distinction at present in Paris. None of the French Ministers were present, nor were any of the members of the Ministerial party. Count MOLE and M. TIIIERS were among the company. M. G UIZOT gave a reception the same evening, which was much crowded. Among the assemblage were several of the KING'S Ministers, his colleagues, mint Of the members of the diplomatic corps, a great many foreigners of distinction, including Lord and Lady HOLLAND, Lord IIowDEN, Baron DE CAPELLEN, late Governor of the Dutch East Indies ; and Count VILLAREAL, formerly Portuguese Minister in the Cabinet of COSTA CABRAL ; Duke PASQUIER, and many other Peers ; M. DUPIN, and nearly all the members of the Conservative party in the Chamber of Deputies, and a very large portion of the members of the Council o f St a t e , and the Institute. The rise in the price of corn in the United States has created some alarm i❑ Paris. The Debats, in alluding to this subject, says— " This augmentation of price in America is the repetition of what took place in Europe at the beginning of the year. We must hope that it will not in its turn have the effect of raising the prices in our markets. -What makes us think that it will not, is the fact that at the present price of corn in America, with a freight more than double what is usually charged, there would still remain a good profit for the importers. We do not think that the Government stands in need of warning on this subject. It is acquainted with all that is passing with what is grave in the state of things, and with the probable duration of the difficulties. It shows by the impulsion which it has given to public works by the development of the means of charity, and by the recent order uy which powerful steamers are sent to those seas, where vessels laden with corn might otherwise experience a delay, that its solicitude is awakened. It shows this qlso by the measures which it has adopted to prevent every attempt at riot. With order the crisis will pass over, not without suf fering, but in such a way as soon to leave no trace behind. if we allowed disorder to prevail, if we did not immediately repress it on every point where it should be manifested, the crisis would become a calamity. What is passing shows also • he falsehoold and danger of these theories which recommend commercial isolation to governments, which would compel actions to live upon their own re,ources, and which, under die pretext of favouring national industry, would erect a Chinese wall round the parties, and regard as a calamity the arrival of foreign products. Where should we be now if we aad not the resource of foreign corn ? We ask every honest man what our situation would be if the rigour of our tariffs excluded all supplies of food from abroad ?" The KING fuss directed six steamers to be employed in towing merchant vessels laden with corn in places where they may be becalmed or exposed to contrary winds. ;'he following are the points at which the steamers are to be stationed:—Two at the Dardanell s ; two in the clay of Algrsiras, to facilitate the passage through the Straits of Gibraltar ; aild two at the entrance of the British Channel. The provisions of the law authorising the importation of corn into France are to be extended to Algeria. According to the Courrier Francais, M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS wished to demand an explanation from M. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, on account of the attack of the latter in the Chamber of Deputies on the Dumas doings in Spain and Africa. M. VIENNET, however, to whom in his capacity of President of the Society of Literary Men, M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS applied to to be his second, refused, on the ground that on the late trial M. DUMAS had chosen to renounce the title of litterateur, and assume that of Marquis. M. VIENNET, it is well known, places his title of litterateur at the head of all others, and rather than resign it, would resign his Peerage. This has, for the present, put a check upon the bellicose pro pensities of M. DUMAS. The Courrier Francais adds— _ " That the Duke de Montpensier, after the sitting at the Palais Bourbon, where the mission of M. Dumas — was so severely handled, directed his secretary, M. Latour, to for ward to him a letter in his name, assuring him of his affec tion, notwithstanding the aspersions cast upon his character on that day. We must also say that the Duke d'Aumale and the Prince de Joinville formally condemned the conduct of their brother, who, everybody knows, wrote the order in virtme of which the Veloce steamer was placed at the dis posal of M. Dumas. That order was transmitted from Madrid, signed by the Prince, who, though a mere officer of artilley, transformed himself on the occasion into a Minister of Marine." PARIS BOURSE, FEB. .20. The market has been much firmer to-day, and from a good demand for stock springing up, an advance in both Threes and Fives was announced at the close, the last call for the former being 78f. 50c., and for the latter 118 f. 95c. The market closed as follows :—Three per Cents., for cash, 78f. 50c. ' • for account, 78f.

ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR. MEETING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S SUPPORTERS. We understand that a large number of noblemen and other influential members of the University of Cambridge met this day at the Union Hotel, Cockspur-street, and formed a committee to secure the election of Prince Albert into the office of Chancellor. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Camp bell. SIR DAVID BAIRD, DART., V. LAIRD. Mr. ROLT this morning resumed the arguments in this case on behalf of the respondent, following Mr. James Stuart Wortley, who concluded his address on Thursday. The LORD ADVOCATE replied at some length, and The LORD CIIADICELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ments, stated that their Lordships would endeavour to give judgment in the case on Thursday next. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JusTics and a specialjury.) SPICER V. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. This was an action to recover compensatiou in damages for certain injuries sustained by a smack named the Comet, belonging to the plaintiff, in consequence of the William Jolifle, a steam-boat, belonging to the defendants, striking against it during a night in February last, about twenty miles off Harwich. It was alleged that the steam boat had but one white light on her mast, at.,d that she bore straight down upon the smack. The tide was half flood, and a slight gale was blowing from the north. west. The case was likely to extend beyond the ordinary day's sittings. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Special Juries.) RAILLI V. DENNISTOUN. In this case the Attorney-General, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Greenwood appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Ellis, for the defendant. The action arose out of some extensive bill transactions, to the amount of 26,0001., between a person of the name of Shiraz and the defendant. The details of the case were of the most intricate and complicated nature, and presenting no feature whatever of interest to the public. The case occupied the attention of the Court during the whole of its COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) The Court was this morning occupied with two causes, one a dispute about an account, and the other a matter arising out of a bankruptcy. Neither were of any public interest. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) IN RE POULDEN AND LAFAUQUE. This morning the examination of the bankrupt Pou was resumed, on his application for his certificate. The bankrupt had been in business with Lafarque, as shipowners, in Crutched-friars. Mr. DUNCAN appeared on behalf of the assignees, and several creditors, to oppose the certificate being granted. In the course of a very lengthened examination, it was elicited from the bankrupt Poulden that he had induced Lafarque to become partner with him, and bring a large sum into the concern, by false representation, and afterwards quarrelled with him and kept the books. Amongst the more serious charges admitted by him, were the giving a cheque for 1,0001. to a Mr. Rudall, drawn on a banker's where he had no funds, and also giving some freight notes which were fictitious. His HONOUR (Goulburn) said that this amounted very nearly to a capital offence, and some years ado the bank rupt's life would, in all probability, have been forfeited. Mr. LAWRENCE addressed the Court at great length for the bankrupt. His HONOUR, after commenting in very severe terms on the bankrupt's general conduct, said he would not be doing justice to the trading community if he allowed the bankrupt ever to go into business again under the sanction of this court. The certificate was, therefore, wholly refused. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Adolphe C. Prevost, - a respectably dressed young man, was charged with stealing several articles in gold from his employer, Mr. Klaftenberg. 175, Regent-street. It appeared that the young man had been in the employ ment of Mr. Kalftenberg, who is a watchmaker, for the last two years, and that during the l a t ter par t o f th a t ti me hi s master had missed both watches and carriage clocks, some of them belonging to,stock and some to customers who had sent them for repairs. But last wee: there were three gold watches missing which had been sent in to be repaired, and Mr. Klaftenberg entertaining some suspicion informed the police of the robbery, and search was made among the pawn brokers. In the meantime the prisoner absconded. Police constable 182 C discovered two of the watches missing pledged at Mrs. Fleming's, Lower-John-street, Golden square, and the other at Mr. ,Rockford's, Princes-street ; and at Mr. Bart)and's, Princes -street, a carriage clock was found pledged, which Mr. Klaffenberg identified as one of three which he had missed from stock some time ago. At the prisoner's lotif ings the police found two cases nelonging to two of the watches stolen and identified by the customers, one of them, indeed, bearing the customer's name, and also two carriage clock keys, one of which belonged to the car nage clock produced in court. The prisoner himself, who had absconded on Friday last, was taken into custody on the Lee- road, near Blackheath. The prisoner, who said nothing in defence, was remanded tor a week, that Mr. Klaftenberg might have an oppori ucity to look over his stock and farther inquiry be made by the police. WORSHIP-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Robert .Neville, a " lumper," was charged with hurling, on Saturday night last, Joseph Davidson, a vendor of oranges in the gallery of the City of London theatre, over five seats, so that he narrowly escaped tieing precipitated into the pit. The complainant added that. he had no sooner regaired his former position than he was again thrown by the defendaut with similar savage violence, and his stock in trade was much damaged, and himself considerably hurt. In the course of the inquiry Mr. Broughton elicited that the outrage on the part of the defendant originated in the complainant having commented upon the conduct of the pri soners companions, uho were sweeps in their sooty habili• ments, and who had been amusing themselves by sooting the faces of several individuals around them. Mr. BROUGHTON—What, are sweeps in their dirty work ing dresses admitted into the theatres? — His Worship was assured that it was a very common oc currence for them to be seen in that state in the upper galleries of our larger theatres. They were sure to get the best seats on those occasions, as people readily made way on their approach. Mr. BROUGHTON said the defendant must pay a fine of ss. to the Queen, or hand over the amount of damage sustained by the complainant. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 3,000 sales, of which 500 were for export. There was no altera tion in prices. —Railway Shares were firmer, but not brisk. There have been one or two ship arrivals to• day, but the accounts they bring, although later, are not of importance. From Rio de Janeiro we have letters and papers per Peterel. The markets do not appear to have offered any feature, nor have we any later information of interest from the Rio Plate belligerents. From the United States there are accounts of February 4. The exchange had gone back slightly, but the Money Market was tolerably easy, notwithstanding the prospect of con tinued heavy expenditure for the Mexican war. The question which most occupied the attention of Congress, was how to raise the necessary supplies, a question, by the by, which puzzles a good many other countries just now, be sides ourselves We find that the Canadian merchants coming out unmis takeably in their support of free commerce. In the annual report of the Council of the Toronto Board of Trade, it is re marked that her Majesty's Ministers were reported to have stated that it was not their intention to pro pose to Parliament any alteration in the existing navigation laws, a part of the effect of which, as the Board is aware, is to confine the carrying trade of the pro vince, to and from the United Kingdom, to British or colonial built ships; and as the rates of freight charges between Montreal and Liverpool are generally, at least twice as much as those for similar services between New York and Liver pool, the opinion very generally prevails that under the exisang navigation laws much higher rates of freight are charged than would be, if the carrying trade of the province was open to the general competition of the ships of all nations. -It is very evident that whatever amount .the carrying trade of the country cost more under the operation of the Navigation Laws than it would if they were repealed—is that amount of a tax imposed by Imperial Statutes on the people of Canada, for the benefit of British and colonial shipowners ? It Canadian farmers be denied pro tection for the produce of their labour in the markets of the mother country, they ought riot, hi justice, to ha required by the laws of that country to pay taxes for the protection and benefit of any class of their fellow subjects, whether British and colonial shipowners or others. The following prognostications as to the future prospects of the canals are not very cheering : " Again, the public canals have been constructed at a very great outlay of borrowed money, in order to afford accommoation to the increasing commerce of the country, and to draw ley way of St. Lawrence a portion of the carrying trade of the Western United States. The .• latter advantage is, probably, now lost, and with these laws continued, and protective duties in the mother country and in the province abolished three years hence, possibly over two-thirds of the whole import and export trade of Western Canada will pass througn the state of New York, and the amount of debt in curred in constructing the public. canals will be in conse quence so much capital lost to Canada. ; The Stock market has been in an unsteady condition, and there is a "strong tug" between Bulls and Bears as to which shall have the pre eminence. There is a difficulty in ascertaining bow the acoount stands, but that it is very heavy, the operations of the last few weeks may lead us fairly to conclude. Some say that the speculative transactions entered into represent nearly six millions sterling, and while the operators for a fall boast of . their ability to deliver the whole of the stock they have agreed for, the Bulls deny that there is anything like this amount of Stock available, unless, indeed, the-public were to be seized with a much more extraordinary panic than it is all probable even the most industrious efforts will excite. The market could not be expected to be firm, pending the uncertainty relative to the new financial plans ' and the fluctuation may be yet more serious if the method of raising the money required be not the most judicious possible under the circum stances, and which, we still think, would be an emission of Exchequer Bills. The premium upon this security has been 2s to 6s to-day, which is a slight advance. Consols have been heavy at 90% 3 4 ; the Three-per-Cent.

But that calamitous consequences might result from their recurrence, we should feel disposed to treat the recent misunderstandings in Paris as matter merely for amusement. The aspect which these squabbles have assumed is of the most ludicrous de scription conceivable. After running a tilt with their diplomatic pens, the belligerent parties have reduced the war of their logomacy to weapons the most con temptible and harmless. They have respectively battled with each other in the tribune and in official dispatches—they are now engaged in a drawing room contention, consequent upon the transmission of invitation tickets. On Friday evening a sumptuous entertainment was given by the Marquis of NOR MANDY, and on that same evening the salons of M. GUIZOT were the scene of similar festivities. One would scarcely have anti cipated that out of this domestic coincidence could have arisen anything sufficiently important to require the repeated deliberations of the French Cabinet, and to elicit the pungent expletives of the Parisian press. Yet such is absolutely the case. The amusing characteristic which has continued conspicuous among the Gauls from the remotest an tiquity to this present year of the Redemption, is visible throughout the whole of the circumstances arising from the Montpensier marriage. In the bull fights of the Prado on the occasion of the Spanish nuptials, in the elevation of the infant " olive branch" of M. BRESSON into a dignitary of the Peninsula, in the fandangoes dar.ced before their Royal Highnesses of France, in the presence of the prince of feuilletonists, M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, during the marital ceremo nies—in every accompaniment:of this remarkable pro ceeding, the arch-characteristic of the Gallic nation was peculiarly apparent. Frivolity was blended with affairs ofnational magnitude; proceedings upon which depended the fate and interests of entire communi ties were surroundediby the adjuncts of a masquerade, and:were entered: upon' with thei inimitable abandon of a mere holiday pastime. As much incongruity was discoverable throughout this singular transaction as in the freaks of the dancing Chancellor, Sir CHRIS. , TOPUER HATTON, or th e car d- p l ay i ng roun d t h e bed side of the dying MAZADIN. It is fit, therefore, that what was commenced with extravagance should ter minate with absurdity. Scarcely: credible as it may appear, the Cabinet Ministers of Louts PHILIPPE have been assembling to decide upon the important question whether the reunion of thelMarchioness of NORMANDY should be attended by them, or,whether, as a significant indica tion ct their sentiments towards the British Ambas sador, they should altogether abstain from partaking of that brilliant entertainment. The dawn of Friday broke, "And heavily in clouds brought on the day Big with the fate," not of " CATO and of Rome," but of GUIZOT and the hospitality of the English embassage. Rumours cir culated through the capital, anxiety clouded the countenance of every citizen, the equilibrium of the money market trembled, when the decision of the Government is at, length announced. The Minis ters had resolved to absent themselves from the salons of M. L' Ambassadeur Anglais ! Upon this astounding position of affairs, the suppressed passions of the Parisian newspapers burst forth in an incontrollable chorus. The Presse scorns Lord NORMANDY for inasmuch as he is no longer in his adolescence ! and sneeringly surmises that, not withstanding the indignities he is receiving daily in one shape or another, the Noble Marquis will remain in the French metropolis, becoming, merely for the sake of the retention of his post, " as supple as M. GUIZOT has shown himself to be resolute !" The Journal des Debats again is stung into a paroxysm of hatred against M. Tniaas and his organ the Constitutionnel ; it endeav oßussell Admi n i s t rat i on.
