BLASPHEIVIING SOCIALISTS. " Sunday Times. " The history of the world informs us that opinions are seated in the mind, and the mind is not susceptible of change from that coarse instrument of Government—force. They yield to lenity, to reason, to experience."—P. 275. Watson, Bishop of Llandaff. " Bat the Socialists step in and inform the murderer or the thief that his conscience condemns him only, because he is an ignorant and uneducated person, who has imbibed the anti quated prejudices set afloat in society by designing men ; and that could he penetrate into the depths of the matter, he would find that, in reality, he had nothing to do with the action for which his conscience and the laws condemn him ; that his physical organization, existing independently of his will, necessarily impelled him towards crime ; that circumstances, over which he had no more control than over the laws which regulate the peculiar frame of his organization, strengthened what is vulgarly denominated the criminal impulse ; and, therefore, that nature and the structure of society, operating irresistibly and independently of him, were at once the original and proximate cause of the deed committed by his hand, for which, accordingly, he ought no more to he considered responsible than the knife with which he may cut his neighbour's throat. This, in brief, is, I believe, a fair exposition of the philosophy of Socialism ; and it behoves the public carefully to consider, whether the interests of indi viduals or communities are likely to be promoted by the propa gation of such doctrines. The rise and spread of this sect. afford a striking illustration of the pernicious effects attending the introduction of false principles into philosophy The remedy, however, is at hand ; false knowledge must be counteracted by real knowledge ; the people must be instructed instead of being perverted; philosophy must be made to undo the work of sophistry. And for this Government is re sponsible."—Stinday Times, April 5, 1840. Published in 1819, Parts I. and 11., price 45., The Anti-Deist; being a Vindication of the Bible, in wto i the on o fthe publication erro ne callederroneous opinions n " i o T n s h e h containingDehelisfot,;t'hinthe, Agealso a a n r s ef e u r tta of Reason," and in a recent publicati on , entitled, " Researches on , A B n Ancient Kingdoms. e K n i a n t g u d r o e m o s f . m aßny andJOHN hi relationsL A 1!" in IY. society would never have been known, had not God, when he had created him given him a law for the rule of his life. And what proves this without the possibility of refutation is, that the savage hordes, as above-mentioned, who have been listening to the dictates of nature," to the present day know nothing of the precepts of morality. The dictates of nature, without the precepts of re vealed wisdom, teach them nothing of the nature of man, or of his relations in his society : " they meet to destroy each other," and afterwards to feast en the flesh of their fellow-men, and offer their children to the idols of " nature." Such has been the practice of the inhabitants of all countries, who have " listened to the dictates of nature; and such would he the case with the inhabitants of England, and of all Christian nations, were they to "listen to Ihe dictates of nature ;" they would fall into rusticity and savage barbarity ; and I should expect to see the image of the old multi-mamma, the many-breasted Alother of Nature, the Dagon of the Philis tines, the Apollo of Greece, or the Alolochian abomination of Juggernaut, set up in Christian lands, and temples erected to the Goddess of Reason, instead of the churches for the reason able worship of the Creator and Preserver of mankind, the Lord God Omnipotent. " But let these objectors turn their eyes to the conduct of those who assumed the title of " modern philosophers," theo philanthropists, pretended lovers of God anti man ; who, when there was no king in France, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes, sent forth the mid night assassin, and murdered the innocent by thousands in the true Deistical, Robespierian spirit of showing no mercy; deluged the land with blood, and carried horror, rapine, plun der, destruction, and death throughout the nations of Europe. Such has been the conduct of those who believe in no God, but infinite space' worshippers of some inconceivable non entity, which they call ' Nature,' and who profess with their lips not to believe in a future state, though they thirst for im mortality. Hence the absurdity of supposing that a system of morality may be built upon, what these wild and inconsistent writers call Nature ;' her book is a blank, not a single pre cept of morality is to be found in the pages of this non-entity." Extracts. IV F " The remedy, however, is at hand. False knowledge must be counteracted by real knowledge ; the people must be instructed instead of being perverted ; philosophy must be made to undo the work of sophistry. And for this Government is responsible." Richard Bentley.

By Appointment:---W. Wright, Bookseller to their Majes ties, the Queen, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family, Pall-mall. A SINCERE desire of averting evil, and pro.. .L moting good, induced Mr. EDWARD FARRELL to notice a most malevolent spirit of ferocious outrage which has for some considerable time been manifested, and which seem as the prelude of every species.,of tumultuary violence that a course of conduct which evinces an utter contempt for lal the usages of civilized life, and which must have pro ceeded from the most abandoned profligates, should have been tolerated, much less encouraged, must excite the astonishment of every well-disposed member of the community, that there arc those pests in society who are always anxious to effect every mischievous purpose, and who practice every artifice which they can devise to seduce as many as possible into the commission of crime is, unfortunately, too true; but that any rational beings should be the abettors of the evil-minded is wholly unaccount able. committ crime is bad, but to encourage others in their iniquitous pursuits is the act of a fiend; it is the most convincing proof of malice that can be given; it is confederating with man's eternal foe to effect the perdition of the human race; there is, notwithstanding, much came to apprehend that many are chargeable with this enormous guilt, and that it will ultimately lead to the subversion of all social order. State ments are still made that clandestine proceedings hard been taken, and fraudulent claims made, against the writer's pro perty, and that a solicitor, to whom he made applicat►on some time since merely for information, had taken some proceedings in his name, but as he hadno authority to do so, and gave no in formation, it is, probab'y, a false report, but not improper to be noticed. It cannot surely be possible that persons and pro perty are so wholly unprotected as that secret proceedings of any kind can he permitted, as in such case civil liberty would no longer exist. It is an axiom well understood that power is held in trust for the benefit of the people ; it is in such case only that it should be submitted to; no one has a right to act wrong. It is the voluntary slave that makes the oppressor do good to all and harm none. CONSUMPTION CURABLE, hi; Dr. J. P.

ANDERSON, THE GREAT WI- Q 9 • Z ARD OF THE NORTH, with feelings of intense gratitude, begs leave to return his thanks to the Nobility ' Gen try, and Public in general , for th e immense patronage he has received during his nine weeks' sojourn in the Metropolis ; a continued career of unparalleled success, unprecedented in the case of any other professor of the art necromantic, has attended his exertions during the whole of that period. Trusting that his future efforts will be crowned with the same reward, lie res pectfully announces that he will re-commence his philosophical exhibition of natural magic, introducing several novel and splen did mechanical and dextrous illusions, on EASTER MONDAY, April 20th, 1810, concluding with his indefinable " GUN DE..

This delusion has not been discovered, cannot be discovered, and it is at the same time unattended by danger to the audience, the party firing, or the Wizard. Its perfect safety, and at the same time its impenetrable mystery, are its two great recom mendations. Boxes, •)s. 64. ; second price, Is. 6d. Pit, Is. 6d. ; second price, Is.

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of SHIP MASTERS, MERCHANTS, and Others, held at the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, March 28, 1840. Lieut. ENGLEDUE, 11. N. in the Chair, The following Resolutions were proposed, and carried unani mously : Moved by Lieut. FAYREK, R.N. seconded by Cart. BEA ZLET, That it is highly desirable that an Association be formed for the following purposes :—ln the first place, to establish a Captain's Reading and Coffee Room: secondly, to endeavour 'o correct various abuses, particularly the present system practised at the Shipping-offices ; thirdly, to endeavour to increase the present existing Marine Society's Funds for the benefit of Widows and Children of Shipmasters. Moved by H. ROWRTT, Esq.,__seconded by Lieutenant PARSONS, R. N. That the Liverpool Shipmasters' Association be now formed, and a Provisional Committee, consisting of the follow ing gentlemen, be appointed to receive Subscriptions, and to draw up Rules for the Government of the Association, to be presented for approval to a General Meeting of Subscribers, at which a Committee of Management shall be appointed : Lieut.

HEAD, 'I hat a Subscription List be now opened, the amount of Sub scription for the brat year to be One Pound for Residents, anal for Shipmasters Five Shillings. '1 he year to be considered as commencing from the day of opening the Reading Rooms. Moved by Captain BRA Z LRY, seconded by Captain FATIMA, That Mr. Ilevis, Correspondent to the London Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, be reqtested to act as Honorary Secretary to the Association. Moved by Mr. Ray's, seconded by Lieutenant PARSONS, That a vote of thanks be given to Lieutenant Engledue for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair, and to W. Potter, Esq. Chairman of the Shipowners' Association, for his atten dance and the valuable information he had afforded to the meeting. DESTITUTION—LEIMOSY.—An inquest was held at the Three Crowns, East Grinstead, on the body of Eliza Mai tin, a girl about five years of age, daughter of a labourer. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had suffered. during the last year, from a disease of the skin, which had been thought to be the itch , to cure which v arious reme dies, obtained from a chemist's , ha d been a pplied. M. Whyte, surgeon, who saw the body by desire of the Jury, expressed an opinion that the de c eased had die d of leprosy ; and, judging from the child's appearance, that. she must have been much neglected. A neighbour stated that the child had not had sufficient nourishment, and that it had not been pro poll.. attended to by the mother. '1 his, however, was denied by the mother, who further said that she had no doctor to the child, becuse her husband could not afford to pay for one, and the Board of Guardians would not allow one. Her husband earned lfis. a week ; and there were three children at home. The Jury returned a veidiet of " Natural death, accelerated by neglect and want of proper attention on the part o f t h e parents, and want of medical attendance. ' SECURING MONEY IN LETTERS.—Th e following will be found an excellent plan of transmitting mom:), in letters, so as to avoid the chance of falling out. Take a card (if the size of the letter, the better) and in the centre cross-cut it thus—taking care that the cuts are not larger than the diameter of the coin to be transmitted :- 1 i 2 T - . _ - This put in your coin with the corners 1 and 3 above it, and the corne rs 2 and 4 below it, or vice versa; and we defy all the clerks and letter carriers in England to shake it out. Just tl. v. THE NEAPOLITAN SULPHUR MONOPOLY. The house of J. Lafitte and Co., in Paris, is that chiefly concerned in the sulphur monopoly, whiel has occasioned the alarm of quarrel, and even war between Engiand and Naples. The Paris journal, the Siecte, of Thursday's date, has an article on this sqbjeCt ;,and, from its connection with M. L a fi tte, we baieve one of its founders, the Si&_ , ./c may be considered as speaking The views and possessing the information of the French Sulphur Company on this subject. We accordingly ;ire this article England by several treaties, especially by that o 1816, acquired the right of being treated on a parity with the most favoured nation in its trade with Naples. No nation can thus acquire for its flag or commerce any privilege, that England may not also claim immediately. But does this forbid the Neapolitan Government from concluding an agreement with a foreign company for the extraction of sulphur, or any other commodity of the country ? To say so would be to assimilate a bargain vith two or three individuals, to a convention of customs embracing a whole nation. The former is a question of internal administration, in which strangers have no right to intervene under cover of any treaty. Neither is the letter or spirit of treaties violated by the export duty on sulphur. In establishing this duty, the Neapolitan Government may have committed a fault, but it, at least, hadar d igl p it ai t d o m do or s e o t . han The ote h tr r ea nations mightty ;be violated, if Engian b company pays th e d uty too, an d i n t hi s i s this not the Frenchuotmorefa voured than England. Neither is the freedom of com merce violated by the French company, which has not the exclusive right of purchasing sulphur.. Nothing is to prevent the English or American from purchasing from the producers, to whom the French company have merely guaranteed a minimum of price for a determinate quantity. The country cannot prevent otheimerehants from purchasing quantities greater than the demand of consumption." Such are the arguments of the partisans of the French Company, which arc a mere juggle when examined. It is allowed that about 70,000 tons of sulphur were exported each year. The French Company deelares that this is one-third more than the consumption, urging in proof the decrease in the price. But. this decrease is by no means proved, the price in 1837 and 1838 being as high as in 1830 and 1831. They accordingly promise the King of Naples to raise the value by limiting the supply. They at least show him how to profit by it, since they get him to establish a duty of two dollars the canlaro (there are 13 cantari in a ton), or about 129 francs the ton. They farm this duty ; but in stead of paying upwards of 8,000,000 francs that the duty on 70,000 tons would produce, they give his Sicilian Majesty but 1,700,000 f. The result of this clever arrangement between the King of Naples and the company is, that the French company pays one quarter •r one half a dollar (which does not vary much the force of the argument), as duty upon each cantaro ; whilst the English or American merchant pays two dollars. Is England in this case treated as the most favoured nation ? Has she a right or not to complain of a monopoly which cheats, not merely the English but the French consumer—and the King of Naples himself' as grossly as either. We know not, indeed, whether the Monarch is more trickster or more dupe, for he appears in both lighti. At any rate, as to our right to put an end to the monopoly there cannot be a sha dow of doubt on the subject.—Alforning Chronicle. LIGHTS AND SHADES OF MILITARY LIFE Edited by MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, K.C.8.-- Since the piping times ,f peace suspended tho occupations of the sword, the public has had frequent occasion to admire the skill and energy which our military defenders have shown in wielding the pen. Perhaps thereii t any class among the publications of he last twenty years possessing a deeper or more varied interest than those which record the experience, perils, and vicissitudes of the soldier's life. To this class has just been added a work preferring peculiar claims to the notice of all who read, whether for amuse ment or information. We allude to " Lights and Shades of Mill. tart' Life," in which, to say nothing of the pathetic narratives, piquant anecdOes, and personal adventures, with which the work abounds, the comments of the Editor, Major. General Sir Charles Napier, sometimes profound, sometimes playful, and always o r i g i na l , _ . . . . will be found fraught with instruction for officers of every rank, We perceive by the bills that Mr. John Parry, the active stage-manager of the Queen's Theatre, takes his be nefit on Wednesday next, the 15th inst., we most cordially wish him a bumper. Independent of the treat he offers on the oc casion,he is a man worthy of the patronage of the public. THE PATHFINDER, A ROMANCE, BY THE AUTHOR OF " TILE PIONEERS," &C. —[his is a very delight ful and interesting story, and worthy of the high reputation of Mr. Cooper. The truth and simplicity of description for which this author is distinguished, the spirit and power with which he sketches the scenes and narrates the vicissitudes of life, whether in forest wild or on the ocean, has rarely been more remarkably evinced than in " The Pathfinder." The changing fortunes of Indian warfare; the cunning, ferocity, and resolution of Indian character ; the perilous descent of a waterfall by the dextrous management of a canoe ; the singular preservation of the cutter from a storm on "The Inland Sea," afford amplis room and ap propriate subjects for the talents of the authir, and are "lost successfully handled. The great interest of the talc is in the character of " The Pathfinder," already well known to the readers of Mr. Cooper as " Natty Bumpo" and " The Leather Stocking," anti in him and his fortunes the sympathies and in terest of the reader are kept constantly alive. But we refrain from dwelling on the story, for we should not deprive our readers of the pleasure of perusing it with the fresh and excit ing interest ,,i,he pitatihsfisnodeir7llwfiiitit e b d ec t o o me m Na .

E. rank iei mportance among th e greatest of modern inventions, which is of the greatest imp or t ance to the public, in conse quence of their improving and preserving the sight, and their being of loss specific gravity than any others, will be found highly advantageous to all _persons having a determination of blood to the head or eyes. Th e i r great efficacy is most satis factorily authenticated by the concurrent testimony of thousands of living witnesses of the first respectability in this and the sister kingdom ; added to which, the documentary proofs sub mitted through the medium of the daily Journals, decidedly es tablish Mr. Solomons' reputation as an optician and scientific man. His voice conductors, recently invented, are the most powerful instruments hitherto discovered for defective hearing. Deaf persons are enabled, from their minute construction (being only 1 4 of an inch in diameter), to wear them entirely unsecn ; they are inserted an.l removed with the greatest facility. By their use musical sounds, and the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly, vibrate on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to afford the greatest relief to those afflicted with the distress* ailment of deafness. Owing to parties of the same name fraudulently advertising spectacles as " newly invented," the public attention is particularly directed to the address of the above establishments. The population of the Austrian States, accor ing to a recent statistical account published by M. Sommer, Prague, and M. Springer, at Vienna, amounts to 34,922,430 souls, of whom 2,168,694 are inhabitants of the grand duchy of Austria; 935,575 of the duchy of Styria ; 1,195,874 of the Illyrian kingdom ; 814,892 of the Tyrol ; 4,001,925 of Gal licia and Lodomiria ; 11,138,942 of Hungary and its depen dencies ; 2,170,392 of Transylvania ; 995,823 of the military provinces; 4.534,197 of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom ; and 373,479 of Dalmatia. The people inhabiting these coun tries are—Germans, Sclavonians, Italians, Hungarians, \Vale chians, Jews, Greeks, Armenians, Albanians, and Zingari or gypsies. These different people having for a series of years more or less mingled with each other, the number of each dis tinctly cannot be precisely ascertained. Thus the German population is estimated at 6,000,000 souls ; the Selavonian, with its various ramifications, at 14,820,000 ; those of Italian origin at 5,027,197; the Magiars, the greater portion of :he occupants of the fertile plains in the interior of Hungary, at 530.),000; the Walaehians at 1,567.000; and the Jews at 60,3,000. To ihes.. must be added the other races less numor ous inhabiting different parts of the empire. SECRET SERVICE MONEY.—(East India Company.—By an account laid some short time back by the Court of Directors before the Proprietors of East India Stock, it appears that the sums issued out of the territorial revenue of India for " secret service" from (and including) the years 1782-3 to the 30th of April, 18.39, amounted to 821,4 801., being an average of more than 14,0001. per annum, tut there were seven years as to which the returns are " nil." The last three of these years were 1834-5, 1835-6, and 1836-7. The lowest amount charged in any one year (viz 1789.90) was 41. ss. The highest amount was (in the years 1795-6) 130,187/. The amount charged for the year 1838-9 was 3,050/. The account for the last year is not yet made out.

Crooks, of Broomfield, the founder of many an excellent day's run in that neighbourhood. This compliment was the presentation of a very handsome silver cup. After that ceremony, and a real John Bull breakfast had b•en despatched, a numerous and well-mounted . field assemb le d, skirted by mars& of pedestrians , while fe mirene faces, two car three deep, filled the neighbouring windows, and even the s t eep t e .. to p was crowded. The stag was uncarted, withstood all the persuasions to a ducking, and dashed on one side amongst "base-born cur" seized him by the the spectators, when a throat, and at one time nearly dragged the noble animal down, but after running with the dog hanging to his neck for tome rods, the ricer firm'him o ff, and passing the Crown, and af ter due grace the hounds were laid on, and off went the field with the promise of an excellent day's sport before them. As we watched them from a distance -- " The cheerful horn resounded through the grove, The merry beagles answered back the sound,"— but having at length passed beyond the reach of echo, those who had not aspired to the dignity of a sasldle began to turn their steps homeward.- We have since learned that the stag ran to Berners Roo:hing„ where it dropped down dead, in con ssquence of the wounds re c e ived from the do g at starting , having bled all the way.— Chenislord Chroni c l e . RE-ACTION.—At a meeting of the Edinburgh Town-Council, on Tuesday last, a motion was made to return. as usual, the Lord Provost to the General Assembly, as Lay Elder. The Lord Provost and Convener Clark, who was in listed in the motion, are both strong advocates for that dela si n, the Veto. They were rejected b'y a majority of eighteen to eight, and two Anti- Vetoists returned. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (ERIDAY EVENING.) TlMES.—There has been but little business to-day in the English stock-market, and the quotations for Consols are unaltered since yesterday, being 91 to for money and this account, and 91,i to 4- for the May account. Money is ♦ery easy, but there is a decline of Is, in the price of Exchequer bills, which are quoted at. 235. to 2.5 e. premium. SUN.—Not a syllable of news transpired in the City this afternoon. It is with regret we notice a continued decline in the Foreign Exchanges, as the following quotations far bids this afternoon will at once show :—Paris, 25f. 50c. to 55c. ; Amsterdam, 12 1 ; Hamburgh, 13 8a 9 ; and Frankfort, 149 k to 150. There was a purchase or two to some amount in the English Market this afternoon, and this caused Stocks to close very firmly. Consols were last marked 91 ; Bank Stock, 17.5 i-, ex. div. ; and East India Stock. 249} to 2501 ; Exchequer Bills were lower, being 235. to 255. premium. The heavy tea prompts which fell due to-day were met much more promptly than was anticipated, and we did not hear of any defaulters. Where time was re quired it appeared to be very willingly given, and this caused the market to assume rather more buoyancy, with an advance in Company's Coneou. The Peninsular Bonds all left off very firmly this af ternoon, business having been rather more active than usual, both for time and money bargains. Spanish Con sole closed at 28 and Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 35i to Colombian Stock was heavy at 25-a, and Brazilian at 761- French Five per Cent. Rentes advanced to 114, and the Three per Cents. to 83f. 50c. ; Exchange 251. 40c. The Railway Shares were at fully previous quotations. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Morn nq Post.) The speech of Lord Palmerston, on Sir James Gra ham's motion, identifies her Majesty's Government with the opium smugglers in China more completely even than the transactions in the neigliFourhood of Canton, which have led the Government of this country into a war in support of the commercial and money-making privilege of intoxicating the Chinese people. Throughout that speech there is nothing so remarkable as the total absence of any syllable of serious and earnest rebuke of a traffic which bas led to the overthrow of the legitimate and beneficial commerce between Great Britain and China, and which the British Government itself has deemed so utterly law less and indefensible (when the question was the payment of two or three millions of money out of the British Trea sury), that the ordinary principles of pecuniary honesty need not be maintained towards those who bad been en gaged in it. (From the Morning Herald.) The culprits who were arraigned at the bar of public opinion are delivered by their own votes. They admitted that the motion of Sir James Graham was equivalent to a vote of censure on the Government for bringing on the country the actual disgrace and possible calamities of the war with China. They strained every nerve of Govern ment influence to secure a majority. Every vote that they could by any possibility command was brought up. Every vote that could be influenced, directly or indirectly, was secured. A dissolution of Parliament was threatened to in timidate the timid. Seductive promises of all sorts were lavished to fix the wavering. In short the Ministers and their emissaries employed every art to obtain a majority, as in the case of a ministerial struggle of life and death. The result was a verdict in their favour of their own votes, but not an acquittal by twelve impartial men. Will they dare to go on with the infamous Chinese war under such circum stances ? Will they dare, with a majority of nine Cabinet votes, to put their bands into the pockets of the people for the expenses of that atrocious violation of every principle of justice, morali►y, and honour. The Palmerston journal says " they will." We trust the people of England will tell them they shall not. (From the Times.) If we do not press on the reader those morn solemn con siderations urged in the speeches of Mr. W. Gladstone and Lord Sandon, viz., such as were suggested by the immoral nature of a wholesale traffic in a_seductive and poisonous drug, it is not from a sense of any fallacy in the reasonings or of any unworthiness in the feelings so eloquently and strikingly exhibited by those exemplary representatives of the virtues which most adorn the British character. The dreadful consequences of an extensive trade in opium arc as indisputable as Mr. Glad stone's exposition of its criminal and hateful spirit was sr palling. But that branch of the subject does not come within our !cope. Our view of the whole question is es sentially practical, embracing only such matters as are di rectly tangible by political power, such as admit of legis lative remedies, or of administrative restraint, which the genius and habits of British commerce would repudiate if directed against the free agency of our countrymen in their transactions with foreign nations, in foreign ports, and under the jurisdiction of distant and independent states. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) The division on Thursday night is announced to the pub lic, by a Tory contemporary, as having taken place on the question of an " opium war." This gross misrepresenta tion is a specimen of the tactics of the party. Had such been the question, which way must Sir Robert Peel have voted ? We do not believe it to be true that any Member divided for an opium war ; but if any did, it is plain, from his own speech, that Sir R. Peel did not vote against an opium war. His declaration was distinct and emphatic— " r will give no opinion with regard to the opium trade, nor as to the policy of the war." In these words the philanthropists have fair warning of the attempt to gull them. The Tory leader reserves for himself fuil liberty. should he so please and have the power, to wage a warfare for tee trade in opium. lie avails himself of the antipathy to such a conflict, but carefully avoids committing himself. All who acted on the principle of their Parliamentary leader should, therefore, be deducted by our contemporary from what be describes as a minority against an "opium war." WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES.-A meet ing of the Magistrates of the city of Westminster was held yesterday, M:. Sergeant Adams in the Chair. The suinutts of the last Court were read and confirmed. Sir J. S. Lib , stated that he had the honour of presenting to her Majesty the Address of Congratulation on her marriage agreed to at the last general Court, and that her Majesty had been pleased to receive the same very graciously. A variety of reports relating to the city accounts, the state of the new Bridewell, &c., were then received, after which the Court adjourned. A deputation of operative button. makers from Birmingham are now in town, with a view to induce the public to patronize their trade, which has long been in a state of great depression. We heartily wish them success. The ingenuity and beauty of their workmanship, as exhibited in some speci mens which we have seen, certainly deserve it. If Prince Al bert and some of the leaders of the fashionable world would adopt the productions of these clever artisans, they would nt.t only add a very graceful ornament to their own personal ap pearance, but would materially serve more than a thousand in dustrious families of a populous but, we fear, a very distressed town.— Times. EASTERN DISCIPLINE.—Went to the parade ground soon after sunrise ; Runjeet came to meet us on his elephant about a mile from it, and we accompanied him to the right of his line of infantry. It consisted of about 12,000 men, and reached to the city gates, above two miles. I never saw so straight or beautiful a line with any troops. They were all dressed in white, with black cross-belts, and either a red or yellow silk turban ; armed with muskets and bayonets of ex cellent manufacture, from Runjeet's foundry at Lahore. Their movements arc very steady. but much too slow, and an Euro pean light infantry regiment would find little difficulty in working round them. This might be easily remedied, by having a proper proportion of active European officers, but nothing can be worse than the system now in vogue.

AN ELOPEMENT AND A RESCUE.—Ott Mott day forenoon, to the surprise of the inmates, who knew nothing of them, a young couple ran into a house in Ecelesall New road, Sheffield; and as soon as they got in, the young man called out to the residents to shut the door. Before an explan ation could take place, an old man, apparently a farmer, armed with a thick cudgel, burst into the house, and began to bela bour the young man, who made no resistance. The young woman, hoieever, tried to get in between the two, and, in so doing, received ,ereral blows on the head and neck. From the noisy exclamations of the infuriated old man, it was at length learned that the young woman, who is under age, had ran away the night before from his house and had that morn ing gone with the young man to the parish church to get mar ried. Thither the father had followed them, and bad prevented the nuptials, but the parties had again escaped. , He had, how ever, traced them, and was determined to take vengeance On the intended bridegroom. He loudly informed the bystanders thathe could " give his daughter 1,0001., while the young man had nothing." A .crowd speedily assembled, and several at tempts were made to part the farmer and the object of his ire, but in vain. At last, however, Charles Brownell, Esq., one of the Magistrates, who was riding past, was called in, anti, by dint of repeated expostulations, succeeded in persuading the old man to desist. The young woman was then, much against her will, carried off by her father. Where the parties came from did not transpire.—Doncaster Gazette.

REPEAL.—We have stated as our - iapiniaa _that the House of Commons would not suffer Lord Stanley's Bill to go into Committee. We arrived at this opinion per aalttins, too suddenly, perhaps, for our appreciation of its monstrousness. The Bill clearly goes to the repeal of the Reform Act. in Ire land. Lord Stanley almost said as much when he maintained the doctrine that tenants should be the serfs of their landlords. Without giving the faction more credit than they deserve for anything but cunning and trickery, there can be no doubt what. ever entertained that the effect of the measure, if passed into a law, would fie a total overthrow of the Irish Constituency— would be, as we have already said, a Repeal of the Reform Act, and, as far as the Elective Franchise is concerned, a re vocation of the Catholic Relief Bill. But such revocation would be tantamount in its results to virtual repeal of the Bill itself. Catholics would Mill possess eligibility—but the representation being placed in the hands of the public enemy by Lord Stanley—under the instrumentality of an Orange Government in Ireland—their influence, and their chancss of rising politically, legoy, ministerially, would be at an end. In a word, they would, as heretofore, be trampled upon. Means would be found to remove those al ready in office—and, as there are more ways of killing a dog than hanging him, these means would be abundant. All offices would be supplied by " fellows of the right sort"—as was said of the late Judge Jebb by the late William Saurin— fellows ready and willing to do the work of their masters—and more inclined than eve r to wreak their spite upon the people. In short, if this Bill pass--it will be a Restoration—the worst of Revolutions.—Dublin Erening Post. _ _ _ VIENNA, MARCH 27.-LOtlicial news has been received from St. Petersburgh, that the expedition against Khiva is for the present abandoned, and that General Perowsky is in full retreat with his corps to Orenburg. HINT TO THE CLERGY.—An American par son, when he had nearly closed his sermon, observed that many of his hearers were asleep. He paused—and they awoke ; and (while they were each and all endeavouring to look as un like as possible to awakening sleepers) he significantly ob served that "he had better go. through his sermon again," which he did. The next Sunday the congregation were all " wide awake." BERLIN, A'PRIE. 6.—His Imperial Highness he Grand Duke Alexander is gone to Weimar. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Thursday night here, after Lucia di Lammermoor, in which Rubini proved that he still possesses the same extraordinary tenor, Fanny Elssler (whose benefit it was) in the Tarentule rehearsed all the witching wonders of her dancing. It is said that she is about sailing for America, to astonish and delight Brother Jonathan, but we hope Laporte will not let the lady go. In the Opera, Persiani's powers were well appreciated, and Tosi, on this her second appearance, confirmed the opinion we have before expressed of her good taste and execution. Lablache as usual was great and good. The Queen 1) ravager honoured the performance with her presence. TALES ABOUT l'oPEßY.—Forgery M‘Gliso is again up and stirring. Ile has addressed a long epistle to " All who have obtained the degree of Master of Arts in flits Universities of (dxford and Cambridge." The usual expe dients for getting up an audience arc put in requisition. Mys terious circumstances which have lately become known to him in a most extraordinary manner—books and documents which have been miraculously thrown in his way, and of which " he is the only person in the Protestant Church who is at pre sent in possession ;" these, and the like, are the.womlers to be exhibited on the occasion. —Pilot. CHURCH EXTENSION.—We have the satisfac tion to see that public agitation against the Church Extension scheme, has extended itself into this county. A publicnier i ti i if was held at Leeds on Monday last, to aid in defeating High Church Tory attempt to get an additional sum from the the taxes rich Church cf the people to support their already enormously set by Leeds EstaKshment. It is to be hoped that the amp will stimulate the friends of religious freedomtnsanadndthevoun tary system, in the surrounding populous dis tricts, to come forward and raise their voices against . such an appro. priation, which is as unjust in its principle, as it is uncalled for on any ground either of necessity or expediency.

In a letter to the Minister of the Interior, dated the 2d of November, 1807, he says that he attached a great idea of glory to ttie destruction of mendieity. He caused asylums for mendicants to beestablished ; in 1809, 42 were al ready in existence. He excited all public writers to suggest effi cacious means for the relief of the poor. He instituted the Ma ternal Society, which was to have had a council of administration in every large city of the empire. The institution of Sisters of Charity was revived, with all its anc'ent advantsizes, bu e, without the abuses which had impaired its utility. Six houses were erected in 1810 for the reception of 600 or pha l n: , t f a ti ,, ,e ht h,_ of Members of the Legion of Honour. valides was re-organized in 1803, and l a l ra .h n e eh il :c t . t c s . e t a al c d , i , s n l i t i T s e , f , :: were formed on several points.

Poor., Arica, CRCWN SIDE.--( Before Mr. Justice sCoes.eroee., Samuel Scott was indicted for a sedition. , oeaspieuey, f!ks attending illegal assemblies, and Baying illeseal poseeseae • - of arms. The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the cc .aspirects, lazy found him guilty on the two last counts.

They accordingly then entered into their own recogeizse in 1004 each, and with two sureties in 50/. each, us ttw terms proposed. John Wardell and George Lloyd were irsdisted foe a sschtious conspiracy at Bolton, in this county. On the case for the Crown being concluded, Weethei addressed the jury in his defence, or rather read I roM oeia papers he held in his hand a very well written statereett s t the objects of the Chartists and of his own conduce, oOSTI - i rig of the present state of the laws, and des:Veil:le that he had done nothing illegal, and that he would weser 1 cease his efforts until their obj ects were obtained, iitatewst he might have to endure, but he had not, and he vs 1.1. noteese illegal means. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL consented, on condition that the defendants should plead guile', that they should be die:- charged on their recognizances to keep the peace. They both declared they would thankfully enter eren intoa s cC , - cognizances, but as to pleading guilty, they w They bad always done their best to preserve the peat): and had resisted all violence, and they could not coesseat to plead guilty when they knew they were innocent. Lloyd then shortly addressed the jury, mating that jets had done nothing illegal, and expressing his determinedness . to continue his efforts in a lawful manner to obttin else charter. The Learned Junow then summed up the evidence to the Jury, who, after a short delibeeettilt, returned a verekes, of le Not Guilty as to both defendants. 1 SENTENCES OF TEE CEARTIST% • Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ordered the convicted Cjeareiste to be paced at the bar. He oalled on Butteries:eels, Richardson, Jackson, and O'Brien first, and said, tVet 1 they were now to receive sentence of the Court, for bee'"iree been convicted of the offence of seditious conspiracy, ats4 being present at unlawful aseenablies, lead inciting the people there tusembled by seditious speeches, to arm Went selves, and use those arms to effect et change in the s existing laws of 030 courtesy. They stood the first among a great many, who, be was sorry to say, stood eoevicted r for the same offence. It appeared to bite, thee two of them had been the cause of a great deal of the et hue misery which had taken place in this country. It was to be expected that in cases of this sort "there would a' it those requiring different degrees of punishment, ansi would appear, in the course of the sentences, that ire cote- s l sidercd that many persons, who might have been mgrs? • violent with their hands, yet as they had :not taken s.o . prominent a part in inducing the people to strut- 4 t mit violence, he did not think they were so culpalsle. He did not sit there to sec whether their politics were right. or wrong. There was a great deal of misery, no bes;es could doubt, in the country, and it was the duty of eatery one to do his best to attemptsto redeess their but they must keep within the present limits of tiie He found that Richardson bast been less violent on the see* icasion for which he was indicted, although he had ibieel language that was not at all pi oper. The sentence rif tb, Court was, that he should be imprisoned at Lancelets% I Castle for the space of nine months, and at the cad of t that time to be bound, himself in 1001., and two snreeiese in 501. each, to keep the peace for two years, and to be further imprisoned till he find the bail. Butterworth (after interrupting his Lordship, to coreoce_ a mistake respecting the language made use of by him et. the meeting) was sentenced to nine mouths' imprisonment at Lancaster, and at the cud of that time to find the same sureties as Richardson. His Lomat-we in addressing the Rev. William V. s leek-,{ son, said he had to answer for two charges ; and it a-4:,; tt certainly a thing most deeply to be regretted, that a person 4 who was announced to the meetings as the Rev. Mr. Jaekt e • son, and who bad a chapel or room where he was actleee s t s s minister, should net only be found at such meetings, Ise' should there tell the people. that if policemen came - to his door, he would show them the sharp end of a pike. ause the open end of a musket, and isle) decribed the pollee " the bloody police." When he attended to his duties ost.t the Sabbath he did think he could not be acting very cu:i sistcntly, but that he left to his own conscience. He wise sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment at Latioasti• for this offence, and to find two sureties of 1501. each, a;01 himself in 2001. to keep the peace for two years. Mr. O'BRIEN wished to move an arrest of judgment, iti consequence of not having called some witnesses, and ad-- dressed the Judge at some considerable length, first, as to being completely deceived about witnesses, then alrus. moving for a new trial, and lastly, wishing to be transp,ortcd for life. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for eighteee months, at Lancaster, to bind himself in 5001., and to find , two sureties of 1501. each that he would keep the !Nato. for three years. Rev. W. V.

Nineteen years-Zeoinq in the 20th) have elapsed since I have beard any tidir4s of them. My intention was to surrender myself in some country place ; walked on until I became destitute, when I did so at Sandbach. I shall try for a commutation hf the sentence of transportation for life against me, as I have suf. fered the punishment of banishment for nearly twenty yews, for the crime or error of a boy of sixteen. Failing iq this, I shall endeavour to get a conditional pardon to return free, to New South Wales, if required. My sentence has been very severe, and I consider that the appeal I cat make against it should be made in a Court of Justice." Sentence—Six months' imprisonment and kept to bard labour, and transportation for life. FUNERAL OF THE HON. MRs. GRANT OF GRANT, AND THE MASTER OF GRANT, LATE M.P.
