Lord JOHN RUSSELL said on Friday in the liii‘otrse of Commons that the actions brought by Mr. STOCKDALE were only parts of a scheme to gain money and notoriety. • The object and intention is to use the Courts and the law to achieve a fraud, and false assertions, as we stated, when we quoted the Declaration, are the bases of the extortion The Law, and th e J u d ges , t h en, have lent them-. i Selves to consummate a fraud based on an impudent lie. Such, nakedly exposed, is the true nature of a transaction which many independent persons have represented as identical with a struggle for liberty, and as involving a defence of popular rights. Respectable and clever men, whose motives are above suspicion, who have been distinguished through a long life for their patriotic exertions, have been taken in by the specious representations, and have bawled in Common Council and at Common Hells for Mr. STOCKDALE and the law. What An article from our northern Contemporary, the will they, what can they say, when they find this Scotsman, inserted in another part of our Paper, man bringing his fifth action for the same libel, throws a little light on the state of feeline• t , in Scot and laying, because he knows that the House land, with respect to the Non-intrusion imposture. of Commons will order Messrs.

And what, after wilfully blind. Perhaps, too, this fifth action, and all this management and manoeuvring, is the result ? the lying Declaration, may make—we are sure it .1::st 12,600 signatures, good, bad, and indifferent, ought to make—the editors of those ao ut of a population bordering on 200 ,0001 Th e hitherto upheld Mr. STOCKD ALE p and the law Scotsman assumes, and with perfect fairness, that ashamed of their advocacy.

Little as the public now respect the mass of fiction and absur dities which the Judges call the libel law, that little will be made much less by the present ex posure. The Commons have declared that the law is so had that it must withdraw itself and its servants from under the jurisdiction of the Courts, and it leaves the community to their merciless in fliction. The nature and objects of the action being laid bare to the public, it will understand why the gentry that haunt the Courts, and are nourished by lies and frauds, should have rallied round Mr. STOCKDALE, and have petitioned for the continuance of his power to set Courts, barris ters, and attorneys, in motion. Half the bar, and two-thirds of the attorneys, would be obliged to find an honest means of gaining a livelihood, were persons like Mr. STOCKDALE not privileged to file lying declarations, and did no Courts enable them to consummate their fraud. The whole case is becoming most instructive. It shows the Courts giving effect to fraud, the House of Commons dis regarding the public, and petitioning barristers and attorneys patronising knavery. An enthusiastic meeting has been held at Ken dal, to second the exertions of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law League, and do honour, in the per• sons of Dr. BOWRING and Mr. MILNER GIB- sox, to the principles of free-trade. We beg leave to recommend to the attentiibn of our readers the abridged report of the proceedings, as it ap pears in another part of The Sun. In particular the speeches of the two gentlemen we have men tioned deserve much consideration. We could with great pleasure quote and enforce several pas sages from both speeches, but we must content ourselves with referring to them. It gratifies us to perceive that a landowner, Mr. CRACKANTHORPE, was present at the Kendal meeting, and made speeches in favour of the abo lition. We refer with pleasure to his remarks, and must add that he is by no means the only right thinking landlord. At the late Doncaster meeting a Mr. CHADWICK, another landowner, took a decisive part against the Corn-laws, and we hope and believe that the number of landowners who begin to doubt the wisdom of Corn-laws, must be on the increase. It is impossible that they can resist the demands of reason and justice. It is impossible that they can be deaf to the voice of dis tress which is now rising throughout the land ; it is impossible,we should think, that they can avoid coin _ _ ing to the conclusion with Mr. CRACKANTHORPE, that they must, for the safety of their property, no longer resist the repeal of the Corn-laws. That is an opinion which we have frequently laboured to impress on the landowners, and now when they find it earnestly advocated by one of themselves, they may perhaps believe that it has some founda tion in fact. The meeting at Kendal speaks, in another man ner, most impressively on the point. Several speak ers openly reprobated the conduct of the House of Commons, showed its untrustworthiness to legislate for the people, and came to the conclusion that an extension of the suffrage could alone secure good laws. Hunger and distress are fast alienating the masses from the aristocracy, and as long as the hit ter must patiently submit to be branded as plunder ers, as taxing the bread of the poor to enrich them selves, that alienation will continue and will increase. Its conduct is weighed and appreciated by the masses as well as by the most acute public writers ; and it may as well expect that the masses should all become pickpockets or burglars, or the patrons of those nuisances, as continue to respect bread•taxing landowners. The aristocracy has no means of keeping the millions in submission against their own will. It has hitherto been maintained in its possessions and its power, in its rights and its privileges, by the vo luntary homage and respect of the multitude ; let the disposition of the people be thoroughly changed, and no reasoning will convince the masses of the justice of the present appropriation of the soil, and no coercion will suffice to make them respect the present right of property. The aristocracy, by upholding the. Corn-laws, is endangering interests of infinitely more importance than that . portion of rent which the abolition of thebread.taxwould extinguish. We have noticed lately that two or three meetings have been held in Scotland, one at Renfrew and another at Pollokshaws on Monday last, to peti tion for the repeal of the Corn-laws, at which, though the masses expressed themselves decidedly hostile to the Corn-laws, they refused to petition for the repeal unless the petition contained words to this effect—" That while we are anxious for a re- peal of the Corn•laws, we are also satisfied that the general interests of the people cannot be properly attended to until the suffrage is extended to erery man of twenty-one years of age, of sane mind, and untainted by crime." Now the aristocracy say that Universal Suffrage would ex tinguish them, and on that ground they resist it. The people, therefore, ingreat numbers already reject the dominion of the aristocracy, already they say that its power must be put an end to ; and how will the aristocracy, unless it return to the paths of honesty and justice, remove that impression ? How, too, when they are united can they be coerced? For us it is a fearful thing to see the mass of the population, in proportion as they grow in knowledge, lifting themselves up against their rulers, casting off their allegiance, changing respect fur hatred, and preparing to de ' stroy those whom their forefathers followed and ,obeyed. And for what purpose does the landed aristo cracy prepare these immense evils for society ? Does it suppose that it is enriched by the Corn laws ? if it do, it is mistaken. It means to enrich itself we know, but men do not always accomplish, particularly by a law, what they intend. The in crease of rent is dependent on an increase of popu lation, and to keep the supply of food short is to keep down the people and keep down rent. The peo ple must be fed, and as they will always increase up to the average supply of food, be it what it may, we are inclined to think that in the long run the average price of grain will be no higher with a Corn-law than without one. The vast, the inap preciable difference between the two cases is, that with trade free and unrestricted the people would always be growing up to the ever-growing sup• ply of food ; and with Corn-laws they are, every three or four years, starved do xn to the level of the scanty supply. We have years when wheat sells for 365. the quarter, and years when it sells for 80s., and if we had the whole world open to us, exporting when the har vests were - abundant, and unportina when they were scanty, we should have a tolerably steady price, never sinking to 365., to stimulate the increase of population, and never rising to 80s., cruelly to starve the people. At the same time with a power to purchase food from all quarters of the world, the population would increase more rapidly than at present, and rents, instead of falling, would probably rise. The landlords, from their selfish , short-sighted avarice are in fact , w e ll a inflictings anthe irre parable injury o n themselv es as it community. If it be me, as we believe is, that the interests of all classes arc identical, how is it possible for the landlord to escape—the farmers, we know, do not escape—those evils which the ac cursed Corn-laws bring on the bulk of the labour ing classes? THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1840. there is anything but a strong popular feeling on the question. But Edinburgh is not the only town in which this indifference to the so-called " independence" of the Kirk prevails ; Dundee, Paisley, and Kilmar nock are equally lukewarm in the cause. In Glas gow, it appears, the Vetoists—knowing dogs— avoided affording the public any means of ascer taining their numbers, and slily commissioned Mr. Deputation-DUNLOP to sign their petition in their stead ! By the arrival on Saturday of the Royal Adelaide steamer at Falmouth, from the Tagus, we have re ceived advlces from Lisbon of the 9th inst. The Ade laide sailed from Gibraltar on the sth, Cadiz on the 6th, Lisbon on the 9th, and Vigo on the 10th inst. Portugal was generally tranquil, the dissolution of the Chambers having produced less excitement out of doors than was apprehended by the Government. Forty-six of the late Opposition Deputies signed and ptablished a Manifesto addressed to the electors of Portugal, a copy of which has been forwarded to us. It is a very poor affair, and will do the Government no harm provided they are wise enough to take no notice of it. The old cry of want of money was beginning to be raised among the public functionaries. To meet the current ex penses of the Administration, the Minister of Finance had been obliged to borrow 160 contos from the Bank, and negotiations for a still greater loan were in progress. The brig Oriente was preparing to sail frem the Tagus for Angola, on what was generally believed to be a fresh slave expedition. On the 29th ult., about seven o'clock p.m., a luminous globe was visible to the north of the city of Oporto, and continued in sight for seven minutes. It shed so brilliant a light that the smallest objects were clearly discernible. The Madrid journals received arc of the 7th inst., but their contents continue to be of little interest. The capital was still in a state of siege, and in the Cortes the verification of the Returns was expected to occupy the Deputies for several days. The leading Members of the Opposition ceased to attend the sittings, and the few that were present took no part whatever in the debates. During the last year the cost of the army under EspARTERo amounted to the enormous sum of 780.000,000 of reals, or 7,800,0001. sterling. The Liberals of Madrid had caused a magnificent gold vase to be made, which is intended to be presented to the Earl of CLARENDON. German Papers of the latest dates were received this morning. The Orenburg Courricr states that on the 10th of January there was a third engagement be tween the Russian and Kbivan cavalry, a short distance from the city of Khiva, when the latter were routed with the loss of about one-half their numbers in killed and prisoners. Nothing could withstand the charge of the Siberian Cossacks, who equalled the Cossacks of the Don in the impetuosity and irregularity of their movements, and their command of their horses and weapons. On the 25th, General PEROWSIY expected to make his entry into the city of Khiva, which pri c ate letters state is already occupied by the troops of Russia. A letter from the Turkish frontiers, dated the 27th of February, denies the participation of Russia in the late conspiracy discsvered in Greece and the lonian Islands. Whoever expected any thing else but such a denial on the part of Russia ? The writer states that the object of the conspiracy ap pears to have been (for of course the Russian scribe is a 3 ignorant of the facts of the case as his immaculate Government) to free Epirus, Thessaly, and Macedonia from the Turkish yoke, and to erect them into distinct orthodox kingdoms ; while there was no intention what ever to injure King OTHO, who was a prodigious fa vourite with all the members of the Philorthodox So ciety, or in any way to menace or disturb his Greek MAJESTY'S Government. This trashy defence of Rus sia will impose upon no person acquainted with the maxims of Imperial policy. It will, however, serve to sow the seeds of national jealousy between the Greeks and the Turks, and serve the Greek Government for a pretext for evading the inquiry pressed upon it by the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. Our Ambassador, Sir G. LYONS, is reported to be doing all in his power to obtain for Greece a regular constitution. To this the LING, counselled by the Ba varian faction, is as indefatigable in opposing frivolous obstacles. How unhappy is that nation whose Govern ment has a personal interest in the maintenance of whatever weakens, distracts, and impoverishes it ! The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been all received. The Chamber of Deputies met on Saturday to appoint the Committee specially charged with the examination of the project of law for granting the secret service money. A. discussion arose, which was more than usualiy animated., me Minister of, Abe Interior openly proalaimed, that the,questiop .was,ona, which was to determine the tate of the Cabinet. The Extreme Left, or ultra-Liberal party. voted with the " 221," or MOLE section of the- Chamber, against THIERS ; the Royalist section stood aloof, voting neither with nor against the Ministers ; nevertheless the Cabinet obtained a majority both of persons and votes, This majority is, however, so small that we cannot understand how THIERS can undertake to face the Chambers as Premier, unless he contrive very con siderably to augment it. Of the Committee, which is composed of nine Members, the Ministers returned five—namely :—MM. CAUMARTIN, BERVIL, BBRGER, HAVIN, and DEFITTE ; and the Opposition, or 221, MM. LAMARTIN, HARLE, WUSTEMBERG, and AMIL HAU. The votes obtained by Ministers were 191, and by the Opposition 183—the result, upon the whole, being a bare majority in the Committee, and eight votes in the Chamber. This will certainly not suffice to keep the new Government in office. There are, it is true, twenty-five Royalist votes in the Chamber not yet disposed of, and could THIERS secure these, he might carry on the war till the end of the Session. But to be supported by the Royalists, and opposed by the Republicans, would seal the political death-warrant of the new Premier. If he fail to attach to him O'DILLON BARROT and his party, he is, in the present temper of the Court and the " 221," irretrievably lost. As the Report of the Com mittee is not likely to be presented to the Chamber before Wednesday or Thursday, and as the debate upon it may be expected to occupy four or five days, M. THIERS has a week before him, which, if well employed, may yet turn the balance in his favour. Now is his time to throw himself manfully upon the support of the people—to prove that he is in earnest in invoking the principles of the Revolution of July. If he fall with dignity his restoration to power is certain ; but if he suffer the Court to dishonour him before casting him off, he will sink, never again to make his appearance above the political horizon. The Journal des Debuts has along article on the re- lrtive conditions of the French and English navies, written with a view to corrcct certain statements in the late debates on the Navy Estimates in the House of Commons. From the article in the Dcbats, it would appear that the real strength of the French navy has been greatly underrated by the British Government, and that the naval superiority as re gards ships, men, and materiel, belongs unquestionably to France. As this question is of very great importance, we shall take a more particular notice of it in a day or two. There is no other domestic news of any moment in .he Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The fol- lowing particulars, relative to the much-talked-of alliance between Great Britain aid Russia, are from the pri vate correspondence of the Commerce of Saturday : ANGLO- fi USSIAN ALLIANCE. (Private Correspondence of Le Commerce.) BERLIN, Nlaaen B.—Two da , s ago a Cabinet Messen ger of the Court of St. James's arrived at the E.lglish Le gation, bringing despatches which are connected with the &fifthly° col elusion of the Anglo_ Russian alliance. Baron Bulow, our Ambassador at London, had sent, immediately on his arrival In that city, the assurance that the negotia tion between M. Brunow and Lord Palmerston were on the eve of being closed in a manner satisfactory to the Northern Powers. On the other hand, it is affirmed that Count Bresson, who has lately returned to Berlin, has de. dared that the French Cabinet abide constantly in b t y in i l t a s t pacitie not to :ou t d o intentions, and l t i h e a h t en it ie h t as A a l l i re t a n d a y t c h au e se w d as an on the support of France, if he did not show moderation p in his pretensions. It is true that at the time of M. Bresson'a departure from Paris, the Tillers Cabinet (which was announced to our Government by a telegraphic h despatch on the very day of the arrival of the Frenc Am bassador) was not yet constituted, but the influence which Louis Philippe exercises over the foreign policy of his Ministers is too well known for us to fear that a change! of the Cabinet will make any essential change in it. It is therefore very probable that before the arrival of the Here ditary Grand Duke of Russia at Darmstadt, M. de Bru novv will have successfully accomplished his mission to London ; and this is the meaning of the German Journals, which say that M. de Brunow will leave London to re ceive the Grand Duke at Darmstadt. The marriage is to take place in April.—Le Commerce. BOU SE.—Paßls, SATURDAY, MARCH 14. r irst Highest Lowest Last Price l'rice. Price.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE MASTER OF GRANT, M.P. —Letters from Invernesshire on Saturday announce the very sudden death of the Master of Grant, M.P. for that county, who had arrived the night before at Cullen House to attend the funeral of his late much lamented mother. We understand that Mr. Henry Baillie, the eldest son of Colonel H. Baillie, left London on Saturday evening as a candidate in the Con servative interest for that county. At Goldsmiths' Hall Prince Albert, after having re ceived the freedom and clothing of the Company, walked up to Alderman Copeland and, shaking him by the hand very cordially, said " Oh, Mr. Copeland, I remembered having seen you at the Mansion-house when you ere Lord Mayor." " Your Royal Highness does me very great honour by the recognition," said Alderman Copeland, who, it is believed, did not exactly recollect the occasion of the Prince's visit. " Oh," added Prince Albert, " You may remember a little fellow who accompanied the Princess Victoria and the Duchess of Kent after their Royal visit to St. Paul's. I was that person." CUSTOMS DUTY.—A return of the gross and net amount of Customs Duty collected at each pert of the United Kingdom during the years 1838 and 1839 has just been laid before the House of Commons. The following is the net amount received at the principal ports in 1839 :—London, 10,783,654/. ; Liverpool, 4,080,512/. ; Bristol, 1,058,172/. ; Hull, 843,988/. ; Dublin, 808,174/, ; Glasgow, 805,256/. ; Leith, 455,129/. ; Newcastle, 444,075/. ; Belfast, 313,8161.; Cork, 212,047/, ; Waterford, 161,7521. ; Gloucester, 156,365/, ; Limerick, 128,6031.; Sunderland,lo4,oB4/.; Dundee, 83,792/. The total gross revenue in 1839 was, for England, 19,772,679/. ; Scotland, 1,699,1311. ; and Ireland, 2.026,6741. ; making an increase of 298,328/. over that of 1838. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received. Cape of Good Hope papers to January 5. While the colonist 3 were looking around for a supply of labourers, a new source has suddenly been opened by the capture of t vessel engaged in the slave trade on the eas tern coast of Africa. These captures have been effected under the new Act for authorizing her Majesty's Government to seize vessels fitted out for this trade under Portuguese colours. PORT NATUI..-The troops, &c., from Natul have ar rived; this is the end of the expedition. Frontier—Some thefts are reported to have taken place from the immediate frontier, but generally it is admitted depredations have been unusually rare of late. In Graham's Town, when the post started, it was reported that some Caffres had attacked the Fingoes in the neighbourhood of Fort Peddie ; a detachment of troops bad been sent to the spot, and another, it was said, was about to be added to reinforce them. We shall give some particulars respecting the evacuation of Port Natal in our next. The following is a satisfactory notice, which appeared in yesterday's Gazette . Juvenile Emigrants—The inquiry which was, by adver tisement of the 13th of September last, requested to be made into the condition of the juvenile emigrants serving in this colony under indentures made by the Commissioners under the Ordinance, No. 3, of 1836, having been brought to a close, his Excellency the Governor desires thus pub licly to offer his thanks to Majors Longmorc, Piere, Barnes, and Captain Hill, for the manner in which they conducted that investigation. " His Excellency confidently trusts that those Reports will satisfy her Majesty's Government, and effectually dis abuse the public mind in England, as to the general treat ment and actual condition of those apprentices ; and he deems it just to record his opinion that the Parent Society in England, as well as the Commissioners on the spot, de serve the thanks of the community, instead of the unme rited reproach to which they have been subjected. " JOHN BELL, " Secretary to Government. " Colonial-office, Cape of Good Hope, " January 2, 1840." Extract of a letter from Port Natal, Dec. 20 :—" I take the opportunity to inform you how we are getting on here. As the English troops leave this place to-day, we shall have a regular free port here now. A custom-house is about to be established by the Government of the emi grants. Fresh emigrants are coming over the Droogberg in great numbers. Dingaan and Panda remain quiet, and continue to make protestations of friendship ; they are, however, cautiously watched." We have received Rio Janeiro Papers to the 12th of January. Exchange on London 301 to 31 ; Stocks 771 to 78. The Lisbon mail of March 9th has arrived by the Royal Adelaide steamer. The electioneering contests, and the Government measures to carry into execution its plans for securing a majority in the new elections, is the only intelligence brought by the above mail. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yester day's date. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 13.—Accounts from Utrecht state that the Belgian Commissioners, as well as the Dutch, have arrived there, and have changed notes. It is ex pected that the, affAirs will be finished before the close of the session. FROM THE HAGUE, MARCH 13 —They write that the Commission charged by the King for the reduction of the new project of the fundamental law have finished their labours. The Council of State had an extraordinary meting Aesterday to examine the new project, and to give their adiiice to the King on its contents. THE FUNDS.

The consequence of which w a s, w i t h t h e except ion of fine green tea, great part of the sales were withdrawn. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Mrs. Glover having been necessarily compelled to vacate the chair ,if the Ladies' Club, by her prior engagement at the Haymarket, the duties of the President will be fulfilled by Mrs. Stirling, and a bet ter selection could no t h ave b een made, as that lady. is in every respect worthy of being the successor of the eminent actress who has just reli nqu i s h e d th e po s t. Mrs. Stirling makes her first appearance thi s even i ng , no t only in the popular and clever piece above named, but also in a one act drama called Love and Charity, in which she will sustain three. different characters. This lady will probably give additional interes t to the Ladies' Club, by imparting to the principal character new features, which she is fully qualified to do by her personal beauty, her lively spirit, and stage accomplishments. The piece itself bids fair to have a long career of success. The Opera was fashionably attended on Satur day evening. a't'e observed the Duke and Duchess of Mont rose, Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Sarah Villiers, Countess of Essex, Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lady Fanny Covrper, Countess and Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope, Lady Gran ville Somerset, Prince Valentine Esterhazy, Baron de Palm, Lord Alfred I'aget, and the Duke of Devonshire and party. No one in the house was more amused at the avant scene stu pidity of one of the domestics than the last-named Duke : his Grace laughed incessantly for some mintees. A LONG SLEEP.—The following is an extract from a letter which was received a few days ago by a person in this town, :rom a relative in Yorkshire may mention a remarkable circumstance which astonishes the people in the place. There is at present in the neighbourhood of Hudders field a man that has been sleeping for the last thirty-one weeks. Shots have been fired in the room in which he sleeps, and it was also suggested to open some of his veins. which was done ; but every effort failed in rousing hiin, and yet his breath and pulse are going quit e regu l ar . It is sid that the same indivi dual has had two similar dozes before no w ; the first lasted for two months, and the second for five months."—lnverness Courier. THE MARKETS. _.(THIS DAY.)

The previous dull state of the market caused the sale to be very flat. There were very few buyers present, and very little indeed sold. The great holders were afraid to try the market, and the ne cessary consequence was that a great deal was scratched. So very insignificant was the bussiness done that nothing can be said about the prices obtained. - COLONIAL MARKET. No public sales, and but very little done privately.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORLEY.—It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the demise of the Earl of Alorley, who, according to accounts received in town yesterday afternoon, died at Saltram on Saturday morn ing. The deceased Earl, who had been an invalid for some time, was Earl of Morley, Viscount Boringdon of North Mol ten, and Baron Borindon, County Devon, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and was born the 3d of May, 1772: His Lordship was consequently in his 68th year. He succeeded his father, the first Baron, the 27th of April, 1798 ; was mar ried twice—first, the 20th June, 1804, to Lady Augusta Fane, second daughter of the Earl of Westmorland, which marriage was dissolved in February, 1809, shortly after which her Lady ship remarried the Right Hon. Sir Arthur Daget, brother of the Marquis of Anglesey ; and secondly, in August. 1809, to Miss Frances Talbot, daughter of Mr. Thomas Talbot, by whom his Lordship leaves issue Viscount Boringdon, now Earl of Morley, born June 10, 1810. An express arrived in town from Saltram on Saturday morning with the melancholy intelli gence of the Earl's serious illness, when Viscount Boring eon immediately left for Devonshire, as also his late Lordship's sister, the Hon. Mrs. Villiers.—A Correspondent communi cates the following additional particulars, from Plymouth : " His loss will be most severely felt in this neighbourhood, where he was universally respected and beloved. Few noble meti possessed the public spirit he did, for whenever any plan calculated to promote the public benefit was suggested, he was always ready to use all his interest in promoting it. Among the improvements in this vicinity for which we are indebted to his late Lordship is the beautiful bridge of the Laira, in con nexion with the new road to Totnes.. His Lordship also, some years since, established the Plymouth Races, on a fine piece of ground called Chelson Meadow, adjoining Saltram Park, and situated about a mile and a half from Plymouth. Chelson Meadow originally formed part of the Laira Water ; and in 1809 his Lordship procured an Act of Parliament for forming an embankment, whereby several thousand acres were made available for tillage, and part now forms the race-course. His Lordship patronised in the most liberal manner all the public institutions of Plymouth, and all the charitable societies had his name enrolled as a subscriber. The present Earl and Lord G. Lennox are Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to Prince Albert. THE TYEIAN.—VV e have already stated that by extraordinary efforts this ship was a few days ago dragged over to the Essex shore, and struck on the shelf at Grays. She has been ever since gradually drifting nearer the shore. On Friday afternoon the tide ebbed very low, and a number of sea men, including the survivors of the crew of the Tynan, pro ceeded on board the lighters for the purpose of obtaining their chests, hammocks, arid clothing, but they were unable to do so in consequence of the vessel being still under water. On Saturday the tide ebbed somewhat lower than on the preceding day, which enabled the seamen to obtain a view of the entrance to the forecastle. A boat-hook was lowered into the forecastle for the purpose of dragging up anything that could be laid hold of. The carpenter's chest, filled with clothes, was the first thing brought up. A great, quantity of clothes was afterwards drawn out of the forecastle, and ' ultimately the body of a lad named Mason was brought up. He was attired in a blue checked shirt, drawers, and stock ings, and it is supposed he was about getting into his hammock when the collision happened. The body of Mr. Sheen, cabin passenger, whose father has since died of grief, was soon afterwards taken out of the forecastle. He had all his clothes on, and his hat was on his head. In his pockets were a pair of duelling postols (loaded with bullets), a watch, and a large bunch of keys. The bodies were covered with mud and sand ; they were taken to the Commercial Hotel at Gravesend. The bodies were not at all decomposed, and bear no marks of violence. They remain at the Commercial Hotel, awaiting the coroner's inquest. No time has yet been fixed for holding the inquest, end we believe there is some difficulty as regards jurisdiction. The bodies have been claimed by Curtis at Grays for the Essex coroner, on the ground that the vessel was nearer the Essex than the Kent shore when the collision took place. Yesterday morn ing at low water, the seamen belonging to the Tyrian reco vered more property, and also discovered the head of one man and the feet of another. They were, however, so firmly im.. bedded in sa n d an d mu d, that it was found impossible to re move them. From the position they appeared to be n, it is believed the poor fellows were asleep in their hammocks when the Manchester ran foul of the ship, and the sudden rushing of the water into the forecastle caused the death of every person within it. There can be no doubt that the other bodies will be recovered this day, and it is confidently expected that the Tyrian will be aground on the Essex shore by to-morrow or Wednesday next. No part of her cargo has been yet recovered. It is a fact that the place where the Tyrian was sunk was with iin a few y ar d s of the place where the coal-ship William was run down three years ago by a Scotch steam-ship. The Grass Parks of Preston Grange and St. Clement Wells, which were let en Monday last, brought from £3 to *.:s 4s. per Scotch acre, averaging an increase of 10 per cent. on the rents of the year preceding. EVENING EDITION. AT 10EV oN + A 'is (AI t tti ti. 4 ro• p'l i I ittlepeta ent ) FURTHER PARTICULARS. Major Hornden, formerly of the Cornwall Militia, and holding rank as Major of the 4th Regiment of Foot, had been residing at the hotel for five manths past, and was born at St D C,:lltagtoli, in which town he aas so mu, It raspe , l( d, that on the no-lancholy news r.-aching it, nearly all the respectable inhabitants lett for this place to ascertain the particulars of the calamity. He was a brother of the late Colonel Horndon of that place, and the Rev. David Horndon, of Bicton, Devon. He ac companied the 4th Regiment in the Duke of York's expe dition to 1 - I,lland, and was severely wounded. The unfor tunate deceased was 74 years of age, and was much crippled in constitution, from general debility. We are sorry to add, that neither the house nor property were insured ; and we should think, from the appearance of the hotel, and the particulars we have obra:ned, that the loss between Mrs L' e, the owner of the hotel, and Mr. Elliott, cannot b'...estimat('d at less than 2 5001. The Heads of Public Departments, and the Troops from the Barracks and Garrison, consisting of the Ist Royals, Royal Marines, and detachments from the 15th, 25th, 53d, 75th, and 85th Regiments, with the Artillery, gave the most strenuous assistance, in which they were most effec tually aided by the Magistracy (among whom we parti cuiarly no iced W P Billing, Esq ), the Town Police, and that valuable body of men, the Dock-yard Police, under the direction of Lieut. Williams, the Superinten dent—in fact, all classes of the inhabitants appeared to vie with each other in rendering assistance by raising the IT stones and ripping up the pavements with crowbars to obtain a large fl iw of water, which they directed in proper channels by layers of traw, stable litter, Scc. l which gave the engines an opportunity of getting into full play at six o'clock. One of Mr. Elliott's sons, a clerk in the Western Dis t ict Bank, had a narrow escape ; he was in bed, and hear ing an alarm of fire, at first hesitated about getting up, but, fortunately, five minutes after, changed his mind, having at the moment no conception that the Hotel was on fire; but, to his horror, on opening his chamber door, he perceived the immediate part of the house before him a complete body of fire ; had he remained a quarter of an hour longer he must have perished. An inquf'st aas held the following evening on the re mains of General Hornden, and a verdict returned of "Ac cidental Death." MUSIC. We are delighted to find that a very marked improve ment is taking place in the character, and we may say in he importance of the vocal music which is now issuing from the press. "there are two sources from whence, in this tact, our gratification is derived : first, from the supe rior excellence of some of the compositions ; and secondly, from the puolicdtion of such music ‘ie derive the strongest evidence that the musical taste of the country is in a state of progressive improvement. The elevation of tone and character which the" Quartett Concerts " have given by the invariable selection of the most classical music has very much contributed to this improvement, for it is only by the study of the immortal works of the greatest maters that a true standard can be known. To the Quartett Concerts, also, are we very much in debted for the same care taken in the selection of the vocal as well as the instrumental music; and through tbai, medium we first became acquainted with the charming compositions of Schubert, a name well and deservedly known in Germany. We hope that his name will soon be as familiar in this country. A distinguished amateur, Mr. Oliphant, the much re spected Honorary Secretary of the Madrigal Society, has translated, or rather imitated from the original German, six of Schubert's choicest songs. They are entitled—. No. 1. Let me weep again. 2. I came when spring was smiling. 3. Fast homeward there rode. 4. Ave Maria. 5. Thy face in every blooming flower I see. 6 Forlorn I track the mountain steep. No. 3 is in the original, The Erie King; and No. 6, The Wanderer. The whole six will amply repay our fair readers for the little extra time it will require to practise these gems, for they are a pianoforte study, as well as ex quisite vocalization. No. 2 is en especial favourite with us ; it is in D miner, and Mr. Oliphant thus imitates the original:— I came when spring was smiling In colours bright and gay ; While hope my youth beguiling Strewed flowers along the way. To sorrow yet a stranger, I had not learned to sigh, Nor knew I then what danger Lurk'd in a maiden's eye. And now, when winter dreary Hath clad the hills with snow, Alone, forlorn, and weary, A wanderer forth I go. For sinee, alas ! 'tis treason To gaze on that sweet face, Alike is every season, Alike is every place. The key then changes into D major. May bright dreams without number, Around thee cast their spell, , I'll not disturb thy slumber, Not e'en to say, farewell; Since fate the chain has broken, That bound my heart to thee, 'Tis better, thus, unspoken My last adieu should be. and upon the repetition of the last line the original key of D minor is beautifully restored. Messrs. Cramer, Addison, and Beale have the credit of bringing out these beautiful compositions. INDIAN ADDRESS TO MR. POU LETT THOMSON. A general council of the Chiefs representing twelve In dian settlements, was held at the River Credit from the 16th to the 24th of January. During the sittings of the council, the principal chiefs of the six nations of Indians residing on the Grand River met their Chippeway bre thren, and, after smoking the pipe of peace together, so lemnity renewed the treaty of friendship originally entered into by their forefathers. The council passed several re solutions on subjects connected with their temporal wel fare, the chiefs then agreed to an address to the Governor- General of Canada. We have already given the reply of iiovernor Thompson to this address. As the address of the Indian chiefs is something of a rarity, we now quote it entire : To our Great Father,' the Right Hon. Charles Poulett Thomson, Governor-General of British America. " The Address of the Objeway nation of Indians resid ing at the River Credit, River Lake, Adlersville Mud Lake, Balsom Lake Narrows, Snake Island, Coldwater, Sangeeng, St. Clair, and Muncey Town, in g e neral council assembled. " Father,—We, the children of our Great Mother, the Queen, who sits beyond the great waters, beg leave most respectfully to approach you our Great Father, for the purpose of congratulating you on your safe arrival on these shores, and upon jour assumption of the government of this country. " Father,—We are the original proprietors of this country, on which your white children have built their towns, and cleared their farms. " Father,—Our people were once numerous, free, and happy, in the enjoyments of the abundance which our forests, lakes, and rivers produced. " Father,—When the white man came into our country our forefathers took him by the hand, and gave him laud on which to pitch his wigwam. Ever since that time he has continued to flow to our shores, and now the white man is greater and stronger than our red children. " Father,—For many years we have been made very poor, on account of the introduction of fire-waters and other evils amongst us, which have killed and ruined many of our forefathers. " Father,—About sixteen years ago the words of the Great Spirit were preached to us by the Methodists; iv° opened our ears, and the Good Spirit opened our hearts to receive the Gospel, and we are now happy to inform your Excellency that great changes have since taken place amongst our people. We have forsaken our old ways and evil habits, and are now trying to live like good Christians and good farmers. We have chapels, schools ' houses, and fields; these thirgs make our hearts verb glad. " Father,—The presents we receive from our goo d Queen are of great benefit to us and our people, and We beg to convey to her 111ajesty, through your Excellency, our unfeigned gratitude for the same, which we hope mat be ever continued. _ " Father,—We rejoice to assure your Excellency that we are perfectly satisfied and contented to live under the good and powerful protection of the British Governmen t, who have ali eady proved, by repeated acts of kindness, tha t they are the true friends of the red man, and we shall eve r hold ourselves in readiness to obey the calls of our great mother the Queen.
