Another remarkable chari er in timately associated with threahiter, whose name is of Europe during its most momentous crisis, tl)rY expired.ive "11 Monday y s to the last at St. Germains. Every successive obituary some distinguished contemporary era cf greatness which must render PtreaTcY of that ment of the nineteenth century memorable t o future generations. In speaking of Prince JULEs P OLIGN AC immediately after his decease, we do notpE feel ourselves exonerated from the unpleasant duty of mentioning him in language of reprobation. Truth is the worthiest epitaph of humanity; and the old heathen adage is pregnant with wisdom which says, that facts narrated on any funereal occasion are more eloquent, when clothed with accuracy, than when adorned with the blandishments of a de ceptive rhetoric. In this respect a trustworthy chronological table has more value to the thoughtful man than the most masterly panegyric of a biassed orator, even though that panegyric be suffused with the genius of a BossuEr or the energy of a CREBIL- I.ON. Of the departed statesman, therefore, it would be unworthy to speak in terms otherwise than truth ful, although in so speaking we should seem to be profaning the sanctuary of recent dissolution. According to the expresssion of a vulgar me taphor, some men appear to be born with THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1847. silver spoons in their mouths —meaning good 1 fortune ; while others are endowed with nothing better than a wooden one —meaning misfortune. Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC must BEVIES.. tionably have entered existence with both. His whole career was literally a succession of catastrophes, attributable partially to an adverse destiny and partially to the weakness and vacillation of his own judgment. With many estimable qualities as a pri vate character, Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC had abso lutely no capacity for public administration beyond that of yielding to the wishes of an incom petent Sovereign, of evincing the suavity of a petit-maitre in the midst of the most perilous junctures, and of participating in the most wild and extravagant schemes when they pro mised the advancement of the apotheosised prin ciple of Legitimacy. In struggling to evidence his loyalty to this principle, Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC showed his willingness to violate the holiest emotions of his heart and the purest impulses of his nature. Legitimacy was to him what BAAL was to the Eastern Idolators. He sacrificed to it everything ; he sacrificed for it everything ; he sacrificed, through the passionate reverence which it inspired in his bosom, everything. For the sake of Legitimacy, Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC was ready to forsake the paths of honour for those of dishonesty ; to become reckless, from being remarkable for his timid so briety ; to become cruel and ruthless, from having been naturally generous and benignant. Are we exaggerating the effects of this unfortunate infatua tion? History responds to this inquiry and she tells us that Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC was implicated in a murderous conspiracy against a wonderful man, who had been summoned by national acclamation to the throne of his country ; she tells us that for the gratification of his diseased loyalty he leagued him self, in 1804, with cut-throats and brigands; that for this flagrant dereliction of his duties as a Christian and as a civilized man he suffered a captivity of several years' duration; that, ultimately , in 1829, he was principally instrumental in plunging his native land into a brief but bloody revolution. History tells us these things in an inexorable voice ; she brands the monument of the dead statesman with the words IN TENDED ASSASSINATION and ABETTED DESPOTISM 1 As one among the accomplices of PiCHEGRU, and as the last Minister of CHARLES X., Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC gained notoriety rather than immortality. The offspring of a venerable aristocracy, he has blended his memory in the recollections of men with the vices of ruffians and the triumph of the rabble. Cradled in a luxurious court, he has perished in a distasteful obscurity. The favourite of Princes, he has ensured to his nano the contempt or the abhor rence of the people. Throughout his life, however, there is one pal liation which must not be overlooked, in estimating the qualities and actions of Prince JuLEs DE POLIGNAC. He was the bigot of an erroneous loyalty; he was the fanatic of kingly succession and kingly irresponsibility. these sentiments were instilled into his heart on the outburst of the revolution ; they inoculated, they permeated his whole nature ; they assumed in fine such an overweening pre dominancy that they resolved themselves into a moral disease. And it was solely through the operation of this monomaniacal devotion to Legitimacy that Prince JULES DR POLIGNAC became politically criminal, though privately virtuous. Within the do mestic circle he adorned himself with many social graces ; upon the arena of public events he either appeared as a contemptible scapegoat or as an incontestable culprit. With this motley character, with these contrasted lights and shades, with these mingled colours of good and evil, Prince JULES DE POLIGNAC has descended into the grave a perfect Chiaroscuro of statesmanship. Among the glorious figures grouped upon the political tableau of his epoch he will appear to posterity as a fantastic intruder. Notwithstanding the protests of the dissentient Lords, the Irish poor-law may be regarded as virtu ally carried ; and although there are some points, more particularly in the recently-introduced clauses, which appear in some degree objectionable, the mea sure is calculated to confer the greatest benefits on the country at large. Already its good effects are becoming manifest in the increased exertion of the landlords, many of whom are seeking to provide profitable employment for the labouring popula tion, and thus to diminish the burden that must otherwise press with extraordinary weight. If such a course should be generally pursued—if the owners and occupiers of land in Ireland would for once con sent to co-operate together for their mutual advan tage—the vast improvement in the social condition of the people generally that would be the inevitable result would be cheaply purchased by the misery and wretchedness that has been borne by suffering thousands—we might say, millions—during the pas\ winter. Then, indeed would Ireland be regenerated, and assume her proper position in the scale of nations ; her children would be contented and happy, in the certainty of being enabled, by their exertion, to procure the means of subsistence, and to obtain a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and the lands through out the entire island would be brought to the highest pitch of cultivation and fertility. The British nation would gladly render every possible assistance to those who had set their own shoulders to the wheel, and enable them to bring to light the latent resources of the country. The chief question of difference, respecting which many good and conscientious men, strenuous ad vocates for a good and efficient poor-law, enter tained opinions of the most opposite character, was respecting the area of taxation that should be adopted ; some clamoured for a townland rating, that as nearly as possible a single landlord, or two, or three at the farthest, should have to maintain the poor of their . estates ; and this proposition has certainly an appearance of equity, as it i s no t co nsistent with justice that those landlords who fully and efficiently perform the duties incidental to their position—who furnish employment to the able-bodied poor on their estates, and ensure to every man who is able and willing to earn his livelihood by honest industry, the means of doing so, should be heavily taxed by reason of the negligence, apathy, or improper conduct of their immediate neighbours. Other reasons, how ever, existed why the area of taxation should not be of so limited a character. It would hold out a pre mium to cruelty and hardness of heart, an inducement to landlords to clear their estates, to drive out the cottier tenants from their humble habitations, regard less of the fearful sufferings that would thereby be produced. A man might be strong and industrious, and well able to maintain his family, but such a person would not he suffered to gain a footing where he might be enabled to obtain good employ ment, because the rates might thereafter be increased. The proposition, therefore, of another class, that a union should be substituted for an electoral rate, gained many influential supporters, while the Govern ment adopted a middle course between the extremes. Now the great object would be, if practicable, to introduce some plan by which the objections to either plan would be obviated, and the ad vantages of both realised. On behalf of a union or even a national rate, it might fairly be urged that the poverty of the entire kingdom should be provided for out of the property of the kingdom ; that it is un just that one proprietor should escape for 6d. or ls. in the pound, while another' might be taxed to the ex tent of 7s. or Bs. for the same purpose. Much injury would also be averted to which the seaport and other towns are now subjected. The present measure gives no right of removal or settlement, consequently those naturally,tr who e tbhu a e r r e d heartless indeedi o driven e n must,from thus enabled to relie ve one deserving of the a national rate then of chargeableevesrtruck, the kingdom, and coupled Jiere entire real property , who would be t themselves classm cruelty may of greatest selves by a course of conduct l:.e censure. Why should not i t:descriptionlb o autla provisionbe allowed throughout on o w t b h eyd e which a drawback from that rat: to every one who would be enabled prop satisfactory ortion 0 f employment manner ? h e hadSuch ap givenePrrsvn n a a hiss b i ofiulll only be bound to contribute his proportionuo of the expense of maintaining the sick and the infirm, the aged and the helpless, and those who are unable by any means to work for their own support, and also of the staff necessary for carrying out the provisions of the law. By the adoption of this prin ciple every fitting encouragement would be given to the humane landlord, while practically a tax would be levied on absentees in the only manner consistent with national justice and national honour. No precautions in the way of clearing estates or pre venting the industrious portion of the community from obtaining a footing will be sufficient to save those who do not improve their properties, and discharge the duties of a resident landlord, at least .so far as giving ample employment to the people, from a heavy payment. We are well aware that there would be many difficulties interposed in the way of bringing this plan into execution, but we are convinced that they are not insuperable, but that, on the contrary, they could be easily surmounted. The suggestion at least appears worthy of attentive consideration on the part of those whose interests are so deeply involved in the question. HARRY of Exeter is really a very insupportable sort of bishop. He is restless as a squirrel in a cage. We have seen in an exhibition of animals and birds, styled " the happy family," a most effective and pleasing restraint imposed upon their natural and vicious propensities, and perfect harmony prevailing throughout the group. But whatever wonders may be wrought, by dexterous management, among the lower tribes of creation, it would seem that, if the same system of discipline were attempted to be universally applied to man, it would not be difficult to point to a class of sentient beings who would com pletely mar the effort. The redoubted Prelate of Exeter belongs to this class. He is not to be influ enced by fear, for he is absolutely fearless. His courage is as undaunted as was that of the immortal Quixo - rr, with whose judgment, too, that of the Bishop of EXETER is as nicely on a par as possible. This mental combi nation, which is so curious, striking, and harmonious in the knight-errant, is nevertheless not equally palatable, though it is highly facetious, in the character of a Church dignitary of the nineteenth century. The Right Reverend PuILroTTs has happily been of late but very little before the public eye. This has not been the result of any dis inclination on the part of the Bishop to draw the attention of the public towards himself, but because, like many a surgical tyro, he has been in want of a subject. The Bishop has had as much con fidence as ever in his modus operandi, but, some how or other, people prefer keeping aloof from him. We believe the Prelate has felt very much chagrined since Lord SEYMOUR declined, with such admirable contempt, entering into a correspondence with him. The Bishop, however, could not exist with out having a tilt at somebody. Accordingly he couched his lance the week before last, and made a desperate charge at the Mayor of Exeter. The par ticulars of the tournament are now before the public. The chivalrous Prelate received a very severe shock. We understand it will be some time before his Lord ship will recover, and that his medical attendants have advised a discontinuance from these violent pranks in future. It is rumoured that the Bishop has be come wholly unequal to these contests, to which he has been warmly addicted from his earliest years, and that the reason of his constantly missing his aim is attributable to his sight being seriously impaired. The encounter alluded to arose in this singular way. A ball was advertised to be held in Exeter, under most distinguished patronage, in aid of the Irish and Scottish Relief Fund. The Bishop animadverted, in his sermon, upon this announcement, and then ad dressed a letter to the Mayor, apprising him of what he had done, but disdaining any intention of being " personally disrespectful" to his correspondent. The Mayor replied with crushing effect. After describ ing the ball as a harmless amusement, and as a course directly sanctioned by the personal example of her Most Gracious MAJESTY, he aptly remarked— " I am very far from thinking that the end, however good, can sanctify objectionable means ; but when the means are blameless in themselves, I am at a loss to comprehend how their character should be changed by an ulterior benevolent parpose." The Bishop is then reminded of the value of his disclaimer of personal disrespect, by a simple ex traction of a few of the choice epithets which he ap plied in his discourse to those who approved of the benevolent project. " Selfishness," " degrading," " low," " miserable frivolity," " mockery," and " dis sipation," are among the generous and " respectful" expressions that grace the sermon throughout. HARRY of Exeter has a code of ethics peculiarly his own, presenting the rare advantage of enabling a man to asperse another in the bitterest terms, accompanied with an assurance that his personal regard for him is unim peachably sincere. The veracity of this assurance it is impossible to impugn. We ought to mention another singular circumstance. As soon as the Bishop had recovered from the recoil of the Mayor's buffetings, as if in repentance of what he had done, and by way of recompensing any loss which might accrue to the Relief Fund from his unprovoked proceedings, he generously offered to publish his sermon, that the copies might be sold for one shilling each, and the produce applied to alleviate the distress of the Irish and Scotch. ;People may admire the Bishop's motive, but we are satisfied that the compensation will turn out to be " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Trieste, of 21st ult. : " 'We have just heard from Naples that considerable demands of wheat have been lately made in that city, both for Italy and Sicily, and that, in consequence, an advance in prices has taken place. The present state of vegetation is described as exceedingly fine. We have also received a letter from Odessa of the 10th, which declares that the cold had returned, and that the port was so covered with ice as to prevent a number of vessels from going out. Very little corn was ready for delivery; but on the other band a large quantity was to be deli vered in July. In Southern Russia an abundant harvest was again looked for. At Theodosia the navigation had been reopened on Feb. 2." The Russian Government has officially declared to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, that for the future no foreign officer will be allowed to take part in the campaigns of the Russian troops in the Caucasus, unless he will consent to be naturalised, and to take , an oath of fidelity to the CZAR. We have already stated that the Vorort of Berne had demanded from the Government of the canton of Lucerne explanations respecting its military prepara tions. The Government of Lucerne has replied, that it does not recognise the right of the Vorort to make this demand upon a sovereign state, and only replies to it for the purpose of putting an end to misrepre sentation. It asserts that the spirit of turbulence in other cantons renders it necessary for it to provide for its own security, and that this is the only object 01 is present military display. Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have arrived. The Ministerial crisis still continued, and it was rumoured that Senor PACHECO had undertaken to form a Mi nistry, as the KING of the FRENCH and Queen Cnnis- TINA were afraid of the consequences of the elevation of NABNAEz to the head of the Government. The price to be paid by PACHECO for this neutrality was the admission of MAZAREDO, the devoted adherent of NARVAEZ, to the Cabinet, as Minister-at. War. The following list of the new Ministry has been handed about :—PAcnEco, Foreign Affairs ; MAza- REDO, War; BENAVIDES, Interior; SALAMANCA, Finance; PASTOR DIAz, Justice; SOLLERO, Marine. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, Senor ARRAZOLA, Senor PENN r AGUAYO, Senor Ros DE OLANO, and Senor LLORENTE, were also spoken of as likely to be members of the Pacheco Cabinet. The Herald°, however, declares that there is no authority for these rumours; and remarks that, as the Tiempo, the organ of Senor PACHECO, has recently attacked Senor SALAMANCA, it is hardly likely that they would be members of the same Cabinet. The Bill authorising the collecting of taxes until the adoption of the budget, and annulling the authorisation for the settle ment of the debt, has passed the Chamber of De puties by a large majority. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 27.—The Three per Cents. closed at 301 for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 19 ; the Debt without interest, at 51 ; and the Coupons, at 17. the alarmist The Constitutionnel thus replies to We have received the Paris paper s of Thursda y . article on the state of the crops which appeared in the J ourna l d es Debats of the day preceding:— "It i s i mposs ibl e to un d erstan d th e s t ra nge reasoning 1 of th e J ournal des Dthais on the question of provisions. After denyi ng in Octob er and November last, that is, when it was easy fhe obvious insufficiency of the last crop to ascertain the quant i ty of grain ava i la b le, we fi n d i t to-day expressing the most lively apprehensions re specting the crop in the ground, and of which no one 1 can yet appr ec i ate the results. The Bourse follows with docility the oscillations of the Ministerial journal, from one extreme to another, and from a confidence without cause to a pre mature terror. Two days ago a first alarm ing article produced a fall of one-half per cent., and a second article occasioned to-day a similar depression. This is the first time, perhaps, that a Ministerial journal has ventured to frighten the country by such hazardous predictions. The most vehement recriminations would be directed against an Opposition journal, if, under existing circumstances, it attempted thus to spread alarm without any truly serious motives. It would be charged' with tan intention to aggravate the present em barrassments, and revive a panic which was beginning to subside. The most perverse designs would be imputed to it, and the Government organs would say that it was encouraging stock jobbing and riots. In whose name does the Journal dcs Debats speak? Is it in its own name or in that of the Government? If it be in the name of the Governmont, why, instead of publishing prophetic articles and creating uneasiness, does not the Minis try, if such be its convictions, carry immediately to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law containing an exposé of i ts fears, and at once adopt efficient mea sures ? If th e Journal des Dibats speaks in its own name, we will reply, that the facts known and probable are the follow ing :—A portion of the potatoes will fail ; that is true, but nobody can exactly calculate the amount of the deficit. Spring crops, wherever the potatoes have failed, will decrease the deficit, whatever it may be. The very scarcity of provisions has induced farmers to sow a greater quantity of grain than last year ; we have not even experienced this year that great augmentation in the price of meat which is anticipated fur next year ; finally, God alone in the world can tell, in the present state of things, what will be the produce of the coming crop." The Patrfe has the following:— "It was announced to-day at the conclusion of the Bourse as a c ertain fact, that the Ministry would forth with bring forward a Bill to extend, until the month of July, 1848, the per mission to import corn tree of duty." This rumour, if true, will account for the alarmist character of the articles which have recently appeared in the organ of the Alinistry. The Protectionists are strong in the Chamber of Deputies, and it is only by exaggerating the difficulties of the present situation that the Ministers can coerce them into giving way on this question. The National and the Presse both contain articles on the present relations between Turkey and Greece, which are valuable on account of certain admissions made in them of which we take note, not only be cause it may be hereafter useful to recal attention to them, but because they admit what heretofore the French Government and its agents, and the Greek Government have thought proper to deny. The National says— "ln hatred to our influence E t Athens, hitherto so precarious, so disputed, and so little fertile in favourable results, Great Britain allies herself with Russia, in order to cast the latter on Greece, of which she is the most implacable enemy. The question at issue at present at Constantinople is, moreover, neither new nor unex pected. It arises from the position of the European Powers on the Mediterranean. At Athens, as at Con stantinople, and as at Alexandria, we meet with Eng land ; between her and us there is a constant struggle, of which the last word is in Algeria, and again, rerhaps, on the road to the Isthmus of Suez. At present we are attacked in Greece-it is France which Lord Palmerston wishes to reach by striking Coletti." Here we have it admitted that French influence is paramount at Athens, that French influence is exer cised at Alexandria to close against us the road to the Isthmus of Suez, and that the Greek Prime Minister, COLETTI, notwithstanding his repeated asseverations to the contrary, is the mere tool of France. How, otherwise, could Lord PALMERSTON, by striking at COLETTI, reach France ? Turn we now to the reve lations of La Presse. After stating that what ren ders the affair menacing for France is, that. the British Government is preparing to overthrow the COLETTI Ministry, it thus proceeds :- " Everything appears to demonstrate, on the part of Lord Palmerston, a return to those culpable manoeuvres which he could not succeed in carrying into effect in Spain. What means, for example, that mysterious de parture of General Kalergi, who having landed at Malta on his return from England, quitted that island in an English vessel, the L-cust, placed at his exclusive disposal? Have they succeeded in prevailing on one of the principal authors of the revolution of September to make a new insurrection, this time to be attempted for the advantage of England? We cannot too often repeat that all this merits serious attention ; and if France does not remain on her guard, she may find herself surprised by events as grave as they are imminent." If ConsTri be not the agent of France, why should France remain on her guard lest he should be dis missed, and if he governs, in accordance with the'prin ciples of the constitution which he has pretended to accept, and if France does not seek, in pursuance of the counter revolutionary and retrograde policy which her governors have adopted, since 1832, to subvert that constitution, -which is the fruit of the patriotic revolution brought about by KALERGI, and in praise of which at that time none were so eloquent as the French, why is that revolution now stigma tised by inuendo as an insurrection ? The Doctri naires have always accepted revolutions with the in tention of betraying them. These articles alone are quite a sufficient justification of the bold policy adopted by Lord PALMERSTON in 1840, and right glad are we that the Noble Lord presides over the Foreign•office at this time. If our foreign relations had been now committed to the care, or rather no care, of the sleepy Earl who for the last four years hybernated in Downing-street, the Mediterranean would very speedily become a French lake. The statement of the accounts of the Bank of France, for the first quarter of the year, made up to the 25th ultimo, shows the following results :- Actif-The Bank had on that day, in cash, 79,535,819 f. 87c. ; in discounts and loans, 212,219,665 f. 67c. ; in branch banks' accounts, 78,459,960 f. 67c.; in Rentes, public securities, and reserve funds, 64,261,181 f. 50c.; credits and various items, 594,895 f. 98c.

HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS. —Notwithstanding the dull appearance of yesterday, various railway termini were crowded at an early hour by " pleasure seekers, all seemingly anxious to get from the smoke of London to inhale the fresh breezes of the country. About eight o'clock an excursion train (at half fares) conveying nearly 300 passeng ers , s t a rted from the Lo ndon brid g e terminus to Bright on .' The South-Western and Great Western Railways a l so h a d a fair sprinkl in g of " ex cursion folks." The Gravesend steam-packets were not much crowded, owing to the coldness of the morning, many preferring to go by the Blackwall Railway, which saves at least half an hour in the journey. The Rich mond boats began running, but were not much patronised. The Richmond Railway had trains running every half hour, which were numerously filled by the holiday folks. CI uncit PASTORAL AID SOCIETS.—Last evening a sermon was preached on behalf of this institution at St. Anne's Church, Blackfriars, by the Rev. Edward Auriol, M.A., rector of St. Dunstan's in-the-West. The Rev. Gentleman cited a very large number of cases in which clergymen had been completely borne down under the labours of their ministry, having large and unma nageable districts to attend to, but whose incomes were so small that they were unable to avail themselves of the services of a curate. To assist in such cases, the Church Pastoral Aid Society was formed, and although it had aided a vast number of clergymen, its funds would not allow it to respond to the numerous and pressing applications constantly made from all parts of the coun try. A liberal collection in aid of tho society was made at the close of the Bev. Gentleman's eloquent appeal. THE POET AND THE PUBLISHER. —A poet was once asked by his publisher 11'. -, w many copies of his poem, then in sheets, he would like to have put in boards?" " The whole edition," replied the confident author. "Humph!" said the publisher, "just us you please; but, if you will take my advice, you will only have a dozen or so." "Why not the whole?" asked the indignant poet. " Because," answered his adviser, "it spoils them for waste paper."—Fraser, HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was no Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday. On the whole, the quotations have been firmer for the staple this week. We have no arrivals this msrning. The Bank of England averages for the week to Satur day last present the following features:— Notes Issued £24,320,340 Decrease Rest, Increase Public deposits increase. Other deposits decrease 559,304 Seven-day and other Bills decrease 9,990 Other securities increase Notes Decrease Bullion 11,015,583 1 Decrease The Bank of England has rather increased its circu lation, but to effect this, and also to meet the decline in the private deposits, we find a material reduction in the reserve of notes. The further increase in the other securities indicates that the Bank continued to discount freely last week, although it is now drawing in, and seems inclined to afford less accommodation to the discount houses, and to desire to engross more of their business for its own profit, besides checking specu lations for the hoarding of grain. Thus, by merely lending money to the discount brokers until the 17th inst., the latter will be compelled so keep themselves well in funds to repay the Bank. Possibly on the 17th they may be told that the amount can be loaned again to them for a further period of two or three weeks, but it is clear the Bank will not tie itself down. It now re mains to be seen whether the Bank will discount to the same extent as usual the bills of private firms. Better accounts are coming to hand from the manu facturing, and of the London districts the demand both for Foreign and Colonial productions, continues to be extensive ; the markets have been freely supplied, and a disposition to realise at present rates has been manifested, consequently prices have ruled unevenly. The deliveries of the necessaries of life, as also of the raw material for manufacturing purposes, continue large; and from the known lightness of stock in the hands of the wholesale houses, as also in those of the manufac turers, we look fur this to continue ; and as the ship ping season commences a considerable increase may reasonably be expected. The stock of some of our principal articles is greatly diminishing—we allude more particularly to Cochineal and Lac Dye—both of these are higher in price since our last, and further ad vances are looked for; much, however, will depend upon the state of the money marloet, as any increase in the rate of discount must necessarily tend to prevent a rise in produce. From the manufacturing districts the accounts are rather improving, the orders received from America have had much to do with this, and as others are known to be on the way, combined with the more favourable news received from India and China, and the prospects of provisions being cheaper, we hope shortly to hear that trade has altogether much improved. By the overland mail from India and China, we have dates from China to the 31st of January, Singapore, February sth, Calcutta :he 10th, Madras the 13th, and Bombay to the 16th: the commercial news is of a much more cheering charac ter than has been the case for some time past; the busi ness done in British manufactured goods, both in India and China, has been at improved prices, with a good demand. The Funds have been heavy again to-day, but there is not much business doing. Consols are 88 to 88k. At the former rate there has been some demand however. Exchequer bills have been quoted par to 2s. premium. The Consols scrip is at ls. discount. In the Foreign market the business done is limited, and the quotations have not varied much. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 341, and Spanish Three per Cents. 3.11 also. Mexican are merely nominal. Dutch Two-and-a-Half for Cents. are 68i. In railway shares the transactions have been compara .ively limited, and prices continue heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Three per Cent.

We un derstand that nearly 300 children now attend both day and Sunday schools. The General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Wilberforce, W. Phillips, commander, arrived in the River on Thursday night, with the Hamburgh and Bremen mails, after a fine passage of 46 hours only from Hamburgh, left the Princess Royal steamer at Ham burgh, loading, for London, to leave this day; passed the Mountaineer steamer, from Dunkirk, off Borkum on the 31st, at three P.M., and passed the John Bull steamer, Corbin, with the London mail of the 31st, on the Ist of April, at 4. 30. A.M., about 30 leagues from Orfordness, both bound to Hamburgh. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 2.—The Royal West India Mail Packet Medway, Captain Andrews, left the river this day at two o'clock P.M., with the Gulf and West Indian mails, also 600 bottles of quicksilver, value 9,3501., specie 8,500/., and general cargo and 35 pas sengers. The Oriental Company's boat Tagus, Cap tain Evan's, with the East India and China mails, a full cargo of bale goods, and about 30 passengers, leaves the l)ocks at 3 o'clock P.M., tomorrow, for Constantinople, Malta, &c. ENCOURAGEMENT TO EMIGRATION.—AUSTRALIA.---- Extract, Sept., 1846 :—" The thing we are in the greatest want of is labour. We are now giving 35/. a year for a man and his wife, and 251. a year for shep herds, besides rations, which consist of 101 b. of flour, 121 b. of beef, 21b. of sugar, and *lb. tea per week, and a house to live in, and by no means hard work. We have a great many working men earning from 30s. to 425. per week." PROVISIONS FOR IRELAND.—PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 2.—The anxiety of the Admiralty :0 get the seed corn to Ireland is so great, that notwithstanding this being Good Friday, people are employed in loading her Majesty's ship Odin, and they hope to fill her, so that she may pat to sea to-morrow. At daylight in the morning a strong party of men from the Victory are to be sent to the Avenger, to fill her with the seed corn which will be at the Clarence-yard this evening. The Avenger goes to the county Galway with her cargo. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening a young man, named John Pyne, living at No. 64, Windmill-street, Haymarket, was drowned in the Thames. The boat in which he and four others were seated,in their endeavours to get out of the way of an approaching steam-vessel, ran against the abutment of the fourth arch of West minster-bridge. Pyne foolishly rose up and reached out to lessen the shock, and the concussion threw him over board. From the dal knees, it being about seven o'clock, the others were unable to see him so as to render assist- ance, and he unfortunately perished. DEATH BY BURSTING A BLOOD-VESSEL—Late on Thursday night Yin Bedford held an inquest at the Black Horse, Bedfordbury, on the body of a man un known, apparently about 40 years. The deceased, who was a tramping stableman, attending races, &e., had for the last twelve mouths occasionally hired a bed at No. .5, Langley-court, Long-acre, a casual lodging-house. On Tuesday night last he slept there, and in the morning began spitting blood, but refused to have a surgeon called in, and contittued getting worse till mid-day, when vomitting blood till he was unable to stand, from weak ness, he was carried on a shutter to the Charing-cross Hospital, where life was found to be extinct. There being no doubt that death resulted from a rupture of a blood-vessel of the lungs, a verdict was returned of " Natural death." T:he Coroner directed that inquiries should be _made for deceased's relatives, whom he had been heard to say lived at Paddington, as in the . event of the body not being owned within a few days it would be devoted to anatomical purposes. The operatives of Hull have established a proprie tary mill for grinding their own corn, and a similar mill is to be established at Toi4Poin• LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

THE PRINCE CONSORT'S HARRIEBB.—it having been ascertained that some out lying deer, supposed to have escaped from Windsor Great Park, had been seen in the neighbourhood of Swinley, his Royal Highness's pack of hariers met at that place on Thursday last. A large field was present, it having been stated that the Prince would honour the meet with his presence. The weather, however, was nut very favourable, and his Royal Highness did not attend. Upon drawing the plantations at Wycombe Bushes, near Blackwater, the discovery of a fine three year-old fallow deer was soon made, taking away to Sandhurst and Wichmer Cross, doubling round nearly to Frimley, where it was headed back to the plantations. The deer then broke away across the heath towards Bagshot, circling round to Rapley Farm, and thence over the high palings into Bagshot Park. As the palings were upwards of eight feet in height (rather too much for any horse to attempt to take), King, the Prince's huntsman, Messrs. Humphries, Dyson., and several other sportsmen present, dismounted and nianaged to get into the park, the harriers having bounded over in close pursuit of the deer. Before, however, they were enabled to get up to the pack the deer had been run into and killed, after an excellent chase of nearly two hours. By this time the gates had been opened by the Bagshot keepers. The harriers were then taken towards Sand hurst, where a second outlying deer was soon found. The deer, after taking away to Bagshot, crossed the park and made for the Prince Consort's farm, a heavy snow storm just at this time setting in, completely covering the ground, the harriers were called off, shortly before five o'clock, and the deer left at large, on the Bracknell side of Swinley, for another day's sport, after a very fast and excellent run for about an hour. AMERICAN FLouß._The vessel Lady Hilda, ar rived in the London Docks from Barbadoes, has brought, in addition to a cargo of West India sugar, 100 barrels of American flour. This is a remarkable instance of the effect of the recent Act permitting the importation of grain and flour into the country free of duty under any circumstances, and it being the first occasion, to our knowledge, of an arrival of American flour from the West Indies, this notice of it will prove interesting and of importance. PIMLICO PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—On Thursday evening the sixth annual meeting of the above society was held at the Gun Tavern, Pimlico, and in the un avoidable absence of General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. , the chair was taken by M r. Merritt. The sec retary's report having been read, which presented a most grati fying statement of the funds, and of the relief of a large number of families who were in necessitous circumstances during the past trying winter, several resolutions, en forcing the peculiar claims of the society on the sym pathies of a benevolent public, and of extending its usefulness, &c., were unanimously adopted. The meet ing was addressed by Messrs. Englefield, Fox, Berry Harris, and others. WAGES ON THE FAST DAY.—We understand that the farmers generally throughout the country paid their labourers the full amount of their wages on the fast-day. Stockport Advertiser. BANKRUPTCY.-(TIIIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE STEWART. Mr. DUNCAN made an application this morning under a fiat sued out against a Mr. Stewart, a barrister, and the lessee of the Hippodrome and Norley estates, and who it was sought to be made bankrupt as a builder. The case was argued at great length on Tuesday, when it was contended, in support of the fiat, that Mr. Stewart being only lease-holder of the ground, and as he built on it for the purpose of selling, letting, or mort gaging the houses, &c., he was liable to be made bank rupt. On the contrary, it was urged, that Mr. Stewart had a right to build for improvement on the land, as he held it for 99 years, without being deemed a builder, so as to be made a bankrupt. His HoNoun was inclined to adopt this view of the case, but said he would take time to consider his judg ment. Mr. DUNCAN now applied for permission should his Honour's opinion be adverse to the fiat for further evi dence to be adduced, to show trading as a dealer and chapman. His HONOUR said be could not make an adjudication except on the evidence as it stood. He could not take evidence piecemeal, but if his opinion should be conclu sively against the present fiat another might be sued out. IN RE This was an application to his Honour to name a day for the bankrupt to come up to pass his last examina tion, which had been adjourned sine die for want of accounts. The accounts were now prepared. His HONOUR said that he could not name a day un less the assignees said they considered there was a rea sonable probability that the bankrupt would be allowed to pass on them. The bankrupt's paying the fees of the Court did not remunerate the assignees for their trouble ; and if a rule was not laid down to prevent it, they could be greatly harrassed by these appointments. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) William Kent was charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Randall, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. Policeman Dunn saw the prisoner walk up to the door of Mr. Randall's shop and take away a pair of boots from a heap near the door. lie followed him and took him in charge. The prisoner was committed. William O'Brien and James Collins, two boys, were charged with a precisely similar offence at the same shop. The constable stated that in about half an hour after he had detected the last prisoner he was again standing opposite Mr. Randall's shop, and he saw the prisoner O'Brien snatch up a pair of boots and hand them to Collins, who ran away. He seized O'Brien, and leaving him in the care of Mr. Randall, pursued Collins, and caught him with the Loots under his arm. Mr. Randall said that he only opened his shop on Thursday morning, and several pairs of boots and shoes bad been stolen in the course of the day. The prisoners were committed. MARLBRO'-STREET-7(THIS DAY.) John Lawrence and Eutest Sultz, two very respect ably dressed young men, were charged with robbing a young lady's pocket of a sovereign, iu an omnibus. Maria Louisa Hammond said she and her sister got into an omnibus at Hungerford- market, and sat down on opposite sides. The prisoners afterwards entered the om nibus and sat down, Sultz near the witness, and Lawrence on the opposite side, close to her sister. It was not long before a suspicious twitch at her bag, and a handling of her mantilla put her on her guard, and excited her at tention to whatever might follow. She then observed Lawrence, with his right glove off, fummelling about the side of her sister, but not yet being satisfied of the cri minal designs of either of the parties, she determined to watch them. Sultz saw this and pressed the toe of his companion opposite, and threw himself in different attitudes, so as, if possible, to prevent her view. She watched, however, and saw Lawrence withdraw his hand from her sister's side, and place something in his left waistcoat pocket. This convinced her that a rob bery had been committed ; but yet, not to be too preci pitate, she asked her sister to lesid her some money. Her sister, not aware of what had been going on, a nd supposing this request at first was in mere joke, hesitated , but afterwards pulled out her purse, and found the sove reign,: which had been there just immediately before , was gone, and the ring nearly off: Witness, therefore , charged Lawrence with robbing her sister, and begged the aid and protection of some of the gentlemen in the vehicle. Lawrence, of course, denied having taken the sovereign, but on the mention of a policeman he was for leaving the omnibus. This was prevented, as no rolice man could be met, until the omnibus drove up to Mary' lebone-lane station. Tho prisoners were searched at the station-house, and on Lawrence were found, in his left waistcoat pocket one sovereign and a half, some silver in the other pockets, and two diamond rings on his fingers ; on Sultz tore.e g sovereigns in one pocket. one sovereign and a be folded in paper in another, a gold pin in paper, some silver, and a paper attesting the owner's former acquaint ance with the penitentiary. Mr. BINGHAM would have committed them then, bilh For convenience sake, remanded them till Wednesday CLERKENWELL.—(THIS Henry Jones, was charged with having broken in, the house of Mr. Wm. Watson, No. 5, Park - row' loway, and stealing from it a quantity of plate, valuaw: jewellery, and wearing apparel, on the morning of Y,e;; terday. There was a second charge preferred agualq-t. him of breaking into the house of Mr. Brock, in Paul's-terrace, Islington. It appeared from the evidence of a r a ce -constab le ' that he was on duty in Park-row yesterday moraivls.,' about half-past two o'clock, when he saw the prisolle; coming out of the gate of the house, N 0.6 Park-roc l questioned him, and his answers being unsatisfactory' Per examined him more closely and perceived a silver salf „ projecting from his pocket.

The policeman Wm . diately returned to the spot where he found t,"; window of No. 5, was broken in, and on &ti t :, sill he saw a large silver teapot, a silver pickle stand, l l; latter of which had been broken up, and on going ib the house a quantity of wearing apparel and °t rot articles were found packed up ready for removal. Af.,o the prisoner was taken to the station-house the attent l ls of the sergeant on duty was attracted to a pair of b0°.,4 he had on, and in consequence of a burglary 113 . 4 " similar in character to the present having been co,"" .
