Since the release of Mr. sheriff Evans from the cus tody of the Sergeant-at- Arms, who it is understood was, as well as Mr. Sheriff Wheelton, suffered to depart without payment of the usual fees, the provisions furnished by Mr. Bellamy, the housekeeper, to Mr. Pearse and his fellow prisoner nave teen stopped.

The Commons did not collect in sufficient numbers to make a House. The splendid festival yesterday given to Mr. BYNG at Drury-lane Theatre, which is elsewhere fully reported in The Sun, was worthy of him and the metropolitan county which he has undeviatingly represented for fifty years. A more splendid and animating scene is seldom beheld. A more con sistent. man, perhaps, never sat in Parliament. In dark and troubled times Mr. BYNG was the friend of popular rights, and voted for Parliamentary Re form with Sir F. BURDETT, when Parliamentary Reform had no friends at Court. Besides being a consistent Whig from the beginning of his career in 1790, Mr. BYNG has been a most industrious and assiduous representative. He has zealously attended in Parliament to all the private business of the opulent county he represents. Diligent and faithful, he now sees his long services crowned with the almost unanimous approbation of his constituents in his county. Even the To ries " have nothing to say against this tribute of respect to Mr. BYNG." They admit " that there are many gentlemen in Mid dlesex who disagree with Mr. BYNG'S politics who would cheerfully drink his health on such an occasion." They say, "itis a proper occasion on which to give him a public dinner." Thus, pro perly honoured by his friends, and respected by his political opponents, Mr. BYNG has attained a hap piness which is rarely the lot of a public man. It was fitting, then, that the jubilee of his Par liamentary services should be worthily celebrated ; and the festival of yesterday will long be remem bered as equally creditable to him, the great politi cal party with which he is connected, and the county which he has so long represented. His festival was the triumph of civil virtues, which, if less obtrusive and dazzling, are more permanently beneficial than the virtues of the conqueror. We must not omit to direct the public attention to the excellent and complimentary letter of the Duke of SUSSEX, and to the excellent speech of - Mr. BYNG, which seems worth all his Parliamen tary orations. The clever speech of Mr. Gis t /I° ."E , in proposing the health of her MA—TEsT Y'S Mspeuelicshterisn, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S 1 us- SELL allusio n to serving of much ~, gt e compliment, animated acknowledging h are de approbation. Lord JO ti N' Rus e had been accom Mr. BYNG'S Parliamentary life was exlxemely his us taskand complimentary.. o n m a p l manner iment P a r i i y s . of the name of throughout harmoniou s and • • satisfying, and to no thing to be desired but that it should 11: w o d rt i The i i y n not. haiie i separated so soon. Let us, in conclusio n , say that oth er exam ples of fifty years service in Parliament will not enable the Reform party to show their strength, and explain their principles, encouraging their friends, and intimidating their opponents. There i s no other Mr. BYNG to whom they can give a dinner ; but opportunities to meet may be made, and they ought to be made, to increase by sociality the in fluence and power of right principles. The intelligence received by the overland mail from India, the substance of which will be found in another column, is of the utmost importance. Then? is no longer a doubt respecting our relations with China. We are vt war—at open, proclaimed war—with that country. We are glad of this for many reasons, and among others, because an end thereby put to the peddling system of old woman- 4i i ',','F'.:',':',,,) -4.t. :::'-- 1 - -.; ';- ' .- 7 - /.7 -;'• .; ' ---_-.±- i-t- L .

Our Government has been slow to take of f ence at the wrongs inflicted upon its subjects by the Chinese authorities ; but we trust that this slowness to chastise insolence and punish wanton oppression a ffords no ground whatever for inferring that ample vengeance will not now be taken for the murder of one representative of a British Sovereign, and the violation of the personal liberty of another. We thirst not for the blood of the Chinese. God forbid ! It is because we are opposed to repetitions of wars that we now re commend to the Government by one decisive blow to put an end to repetitions of the causes which constitute their usual justification—so far at least as regards China. With all their boasted civilization the Chinese are little better than barbarians, and, like all barbarians, they despise the institutions and the people of every nation, of whose power they are ignorant. Forbearance is, in their eyes, cowardice; and having, on three several occasions, as they boast, humbled the " red-bristled barbarians" of England before all nations, and once defeated their ships at sea, and " forced them to fly into the outer waters," it is in vain to expect that less than the infliction of a terrible chastisement upon them will convince them of their folly, and retain the ground which otherwise we must lose in the East. A wide extent of our Indian empire borders on China, and the inhabitants are not ignorant of the struggle in which we are engaged, nor averse to avail themselves of any ad vantages which it may offer for shaking o ff the Britis yoke. Let the Chinese only be allowed to teach them that British power is not invincible, and we shall soon see a fire in the East, the flames of which it will cost rivers of blood to extinguish. If it be intended, as we believe it is, by the Go vernment here to place British relations with China on a firm, peaceable, and honourable footing, not only must the Chinese be now humbled—full com pensation for the losses sustained by our mer chants insisted upon—and the entire expense of , te expedition exacted ; bu a suitable guarantee, in the shape of a permanent t settlement in the waters of China must be obtained for the faithful fulfil ment of all regulations for the subsequent carrying on of traffic between the subjects of Great Britain and the Celestial Empire. The news from Cen• tral Asia is likewise highly important. Had Russia not been in such haste to send an expedition nominally against Khiva, but :in reality against Herat and Cabul, for the over throw of British influence north of the Indus, it is certain that she would have had the field to herself. `We suspect, however, that she had another object in view, and that was, to prevent the gallant army commanded by Lord KEANE from proceeding to China, as it otherwise would have done. It is well known that we have not a more dangerous enemy at the Court of Pekin than Russia, and it is equally certain that she could not have taken a step more indirectly hostile to us, and more favourable to China, than by compelling us to keep an army admirably adapted for a successful ex pedition against Canton, idly watching her move ments in the neighbourhood of Herat, Cabul, and Lahore. The illness of Lord KEANE will be deeply re gretted by the British people. His gallant services, and those of his brave companions in arms, are en graven upon their hearts. Let politicians do what they will, their opponents will most certainly find fault with them, and there fore a trimming course, with a view to please, is always impolitic. It invites attack by a confession of weakness, and does not disarm a single enemy. A bold, straightforward, consistent course may not, indeed, ensure success, any more than it will escape censure, but it will, in the end, command respect. When the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER brought forward his motion on Tues • ehly for a Committee to inquire into the issue of paper money, he mentioned, amongst the several causes why the House of Commons should inquire into the subject, that the period ap proached when the House must give notice to the Bank of England concerning the renewal of its Charter. The Right Hon. Gentleman also point ed out the necessity of legislating for the Bank of llreland, and the impropriety of the Governrntnt bringing in any Bill which might not have the sanction of a Committee, of which the inquiries were necessary. He also adverted to the great de sire expressed by many persons of consideration in the country that further investigations should be instituted. Besides these circumstances great differences of opinion prevail on the sub ject throughout the country, and amongst the best informed men. If ever a matter needed inquiry before proceeding to legislate on it, and if ever a matter required legislation, the currency of the country does; and yet, one of the Tory scribes, a very insignificant and harmless one indeed, is not ashamed to blame the Governmentfor not recommend ing some measure to reform the currency, instead of proposing a Committee of Inquiry. It is accused of wishing to shift responsibility from itself to the Legislature ; if it had not proposed such a Committee, its presumption in recommend ing or dictating to the Parliament would then have been censured. We quote this as an example of the impossibility of escaping the censure of political opponents. They must be defied by pursuing a just course with moderation. Such has been, in our judgment, the conduct of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on this ques tion, and it deservedly met the approbation of Mr. GROTE, who never needlessly squanders a compliment. We have at this moment a reply to the letter of Mr. JONES LOYD by .1. C. SMITH, and a second letter from Mr. LOYD to Mr. SMITH, lying before us, which, from the pressure of other matter, have been unnoticed. Both these pamphlets relate to the operations of the Bank of England, and their influence over the prosperity of the country. They take different views, and they are the representatives of hundreds of pamphlets and books, which have been published concerning the currency during the last. twelvemonth, not one of which approves altogether of the existing system. We doubt if on any ques tion the public mind was ever more completely un settled than on this. A large party requires that time bank which issues paper, shall not be a bank of deposit. That party is split again into two large sections, one of which wishes to see paper issued by a National Bank, the other that it should be left in the hands of the Bank of England. Another large party requires that all bank monopolies shall be done away ; and, amongst the votaries to this doctrine, there are many shades of difference. Some persons wish to see paper money suppressed altogether ; others wish for an unlimited issue of inconvertible paper-money. We might enumerate several other differences of opi nion, all of which find respectable advocates, but these will suffice to show that the public mind is very unsettled on this subject, and that a solemn inquiry by the grand inquest of the nation is much wanted, to bring it clearly into day. Those who object to inquiry seem to suppose, like Sir ROBERT PEEL, that if the mind of the Legislature is made up that is sufficient. Its de crees, according to these statesmen and reasoners, are to still all doubts and stop all inquiries. There is to be no other truth but what is embodied in the statutes at large. On some subjects we admit its fiat is final, but not on the currency. It may settle the pay of the army and navy, and the rank of Ad mirals and Generals, but the circulating medium— the instrument of trade, like trade itself, has laws of its own which the Legislature may discover, b u t cannot prescribe. It might as well try to prescribe the form of steam engines and the shape of spin yo t t t h o n e l a c l w o t b oth e i t s w t e i e t and golde. and d e n c ry o l a n t i d shall pay its notes in - anribngitramryulreeslabtylonwhfiixcehd by this ten years, a s silver . i s The palpablyregulation t amid t t c h a e n n ß ot an b k e e lo f n E g b n Las been proved several times gold mesiswiathn impossibility, withinnth Yet when the gold in its coffers would not have enabled Sir ROBERT PEEL it to pay ss. in the pound. Proposes, to still all doubt , t o p ut an end to all by an implied declaration that I hope of i m p r ovement, the mind of the Legislature is made up, and no man Imust inquire further. 1 Is the Right Hon. Baronet never to learn wis -1 do m ? Why the mind of the Legislature was made 1 up, in 1828, to resist Catholic Emancipation, and i to resist Parliamentary Reform, but both became ! inevitable within a very few years from that time. In like manner, S • R. w PEEL i few, ,sears an alt erat i on i n Ins fixed gold standard, into which he will no w n. haveas C i a ': th 'iii o ni l q ic finurd Em ,th ; a nitlciiivn a be comea- .as inevitabl e as tion. It is his fate—it is plainly the con sequence of the principles he was brought up in—to hold fast all institutions ; that, like the genuine emblem of Toryism, the duck legged drummer, he should always be in the rear. We do not advocate an inquiry by the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER'S Committee into the propriety of altering the standard, but that must be inquired into, or there must be legislation without inquiry. We cannot agree with a Ministerial Evening Contemporary in preferring Sir R. PEEL'S " de finite inquiry into what regulation should Parliament adopt when the Bank Charter expires," to the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER'S inquiry " into the effects produced on the circulation of the country by the various bank ing establishments issuing notes payable on de mand. How can Parliament know what it ought to do when the Bank Charter expires, unless it previously inquire into the effects of the present sys tem, including the Bank ? The inquiry proposed by Mr. BARING is a necessary step to that larger inquiry, " What regulations should Parliament adopt ?" proposed by Sir R. PEEL. His definite and precise inquiry involves, not only that of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, but a most exten sive and laborious investigation of the many feasible schemes now afloat for improving the currency, including a national bank, and the suggestions for altering the standard. But Sir ROBERT has a limit to the inquiry in his own mind far short of this. He conceives the preservation of the Bank to be necessary---he insists that the standard shall not be meddled with —he holds fast to all the regulations that were made in ignorance ; and the extensive inquiry his words imply really means for him "on what terms shall the Legislature renew the Bank Charter." That the Tories have made com mon cause with the authors of the starvation laws, against the prosperity of trade and the public wel fare, was known from the conduct of Sir ROBERT PEEL last Session ; his speech on Tuesday night indicates that he is also to make common cause with the chartered monopolists of credit against the bulk of the nation. We are glad to see him stepping forth in his proper Tory character, and avowing himself still the enemy of every measure that can ameliorate and improve the condition of the people. The letter which appears in another part of The Sun, addressed to the Mike of BUCKINGHAM, comes from a very respectable quarter; it will en able the aristocracy to perceive in what language they are now spoken of by many influential and o;)ulent persons. But what is written we can as sure them is not half so bad as what is said ; and if it were possible for them to maintain their state and power in a community which has learnedtodisrespect them, it cannot surely be pleasant to them to know themselves to be the objects of general and intense odium. We may have contributed to excite odium, not out of any animosity to the aristocracy, which we were bred up, likeall our countrymen, to reverence, but out of animosity to a course of proceeding which degrades the once proud nobility of England below the level of the vilest usurers. They sacrifice the love and respect of their fellow-men, merely to g,t a little money. What worse and what more degrading course does the vilest usurer pursue ? The letter is also valuable for the facts it con tains. It establishes the exact degree in which the manufacturers are plundered by the landowners. We hear continually of the blessedness of our people being independent for food ; but what sort of independence is that which is now the lot of the mass of our manufacturing and labouring classes, when they must buy their bread of a particular class of men—must give one-third more for it than they could buy it elsewhere ? The independence of which the advocates of the Corn-laws boast, is the slavery of all classes to the landowners. Letters from Constantinople, of the 19th ult., stat that a coolness has arisen between Lord PONSONEY and the Porte, in consequence of the unwillingness of the Divan to consent to his Lordship's demand for the removal of the Greek Patriarch, GnEeoluo, implicated in the lonian Islands' conspiracy. The Russian Am bassador, who secretly supports the Patriarch, and encourages the Porte to resist the demand of Lord PoNsoNnY, undertook to settle the affair with the British Minister ; but Lord PONSONBY informed him t hat his instructions for the dismissal of the Patriarch were positive ; and that, if the dismissal did not take place, he would be under the necessity of declining lilt further correspondence with the Turkish Cabinet. M. PONToIS, the French Ambassador, is likewise not on the hest terms with the Porte. Some short time since a French subject, residing in Turkey, was com pelled by the local Governor to pay an exorbitant amount of taxes, in violation of the articles of the Com mercial Treaty. The injured Frenchman appealed for protection and the restoration of his property to the representative of his Sovereign, and M. PoNTots in stantly demanded from the Porte the dismissal of the Governor, This tt as refused, and the French Minister forwarded an account of the whole affair to his Court, with a demand for fresh instructions. These had not arrived on the 19th, but they were hourly expected, and it would depend upon them what form this affair would assume, which then presented an aspect sufficiently threatening. In these differences with the Porte great difficulties present themselves. It is no doubt of the first import ance that the Greek Patriarch should be dismissed, as otherwise we tacitly acknowledge the supremacy of Russia in Turkey, Greece, and the lonian Islands—an acknowledgment, fatal to the best interests of this country. But, on the other hand, should the Porte continue to resist the demand of England for the removal of the Patriarch, and England in conse quence withdraw her protection from the Porte, that moment Turkey would become a Russian province. Nothing could happen which would more delight Rus s:a than an open rupture between Great Britain and Turkey. Her armies, now on the Turkish confines, would be poured into Asia Minor. Before England could fire a gun, her fleet in the Black Sea would have blocked up the passage of the Dardanelles, and Con stantinople itself would be garisoned with her troops. On no account, therefore, ought Turkey to be aban doned to the oft-proffered protection of her deadliest enemy, who is at the bottom of all these intrigues to foment quarrels between her and her friends. In addition to the above intelligence direct from Con stantinople, we find the following interesting letter from that Capital, in the Journal des Debuts of Tuesday ; evidently from a quarter entitled to great credit. It clears up all the mystery about the sudden removal of so many public functionaries immediately after the re covery of the old Vizier, whom age has deprived:of' none of his youthful energy of character and subtlety of purpose : " The party of the Sultana Valide, excited by some members of the clergy, and supported by some Armenian bankers, who saw in the adoption of a new financial system, the ruin of their business, resolved to profit by the illness of Khosrew Pacha to deprive him of power. The plot was first to replace him at the head of the Council as incapable from his great age and illness of attending to public affairs, and then to insist upon his withdrawing to a country residence distant from the capital. The chief of the eunuchs, and the Intendant of the Sultana-Mother, were at the head of the plot, of which the Sultana probably was not ignorant; for since Khosrew Pacha has overthrown her influence, she has on every occasion shown herself his mortal enemy. Bahl Pacha was to have been made Grand Vizier. As to Reschid Pasha, Fethi Patin, and the other public functionaries who are partisans of reform, it was hoped to get rid of them by a popular movement led on by the authors of the plot. The old Vizier, learning what was passing, wa:ted until hi s en emies ha d fully committed themselves, and then displaced them all from the posts which they the occupied, b eg i nn i ng w i t h Ali-Nidjih-Pacha, ti Inten dant of the S u lt ana V a lide, an d the chief of the eunuchs.

The Five per Cents. rose 28} for cash on the arrival of the despatch announc- Leg the fall of Segura. The Brussels Journals of Tuesday, received this morning, state that a public meeting of merchants and ship-owners was held in Brussels on Friday last to recommend to the Government the establishment of a rtgular trade between a part of Belgium and New York, Brazil and Odessa, to be encouraged by grant ing a bounty to sh;p-owners. After much discussion it appeared t o b e t h e op i n i on o f the meeting that boun ties to ship-owners was objectionable, and that the bet ter plan would be to grant bounties on the exportation of manufactures. One of the Brussels Papers gives insertion to a letter which states that there is to be an immediate change in the Brussels Cabinet. The Paris Journals of Tuesday are wholly barren of any news of interest. All parties were awaiting, with composure amounting almost to indifference, the open iog of the grand Cabinet Drama in the Chamber of Depidies on Thursday (this day), on the occasion of the Ministerial demand for secret service money, the granting of which is, in France, tantamount to a vote of confi dence in the Administration. The Commerce has a long article headed " Austria and the Augsburgh Gazette," in which the exclusive diplomatic intelligence which first appears in that journal is shown to be entitled to very little credit. The subject has more than once been sufficiently noticed in the Landon daily journals. The Chamber of Peers was occupied on Monday and Tuesday with the Children's Factory Bill. Paragraphs 4,5, and 6 were voted. We shall endeavour to make room for the heads of the Bill when it has passed the Legislature. Considerable convoys of provisions, ammunition, and artil lery, continue to arrive at Muniesa. A great movement on the whole line is expected to take place shortly, which will be made by all the troops, as well as the head quarters. On the 29th it was suddenly reported that very numerous Carlist forces were in sight towards Cabra. It was said that it was their in tention to retake Segura. The enthusiasm which has been excited in the army by the capture of that little fortress is not yet calmed. Whether by accident or design Segura, fell into the hands of Espartero on the day of his fete (St. Bartholomew's day), hence there are presages without number. All the commanders of corps who were admitted to present their congratulations to the happy Duke de la Vittoria, were in v it e d t o a b anque t, a t w hi c h the company gave free course to their joy with all the Castilian spirit of amplification. Those who seriously desire the pacifi cation of this country wait for some more important exploit before they really congratulate the Commander-in-Chief. Great preparations are making at Saragossa to celebrate the anniversary of the sth of March. It will be recollected how nobly the inhabitants of that city held out in the night in 1838, when the Carlists, commanded by Carbanero, succeeded in scaling the walls, and were gloriously repulsed. What will be curious this year is, that Carbanero himself will, it is said, take a part in the fete.—Memorial des Pyrennees. BOURSE.—PARIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 10. lrst Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. --A few days ago a young man named Humphries, residing at Rickmansworth, in Hertfordshire, cut the throat of his sweet . heart in a fit of j ea l ousy, an d a f terwar d s hi s own . B o th o f t h em ie in a very precarious state. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS DAY. The House sat to-day, to hoar Scotch Appeals. The peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Aberdeen, and Lord Colchester. THE COUNTESS OF DALHOUSIE, V. JAMES MACDOWALL, ESQ. The arguments in this case, which have already oc cupied their Lordships six days, were brought to a con clusion to-day. The case came before their Lordships on appeal from an interlocutor of the Court of Session, which was decided in favour of the respondent Colonel M'Dowall. The following may be stated as the outline of the main facts of the case:— The late Colonel Andrew McDowell, of Logan, was appointed to the command of a Fencible regiment of ca valry, called the Prince's Royals, in 1795. It was quar tered at Dumfries, and in April, 1796, he marched with it into England. Some time in the course of the year 1795, a young girl, named Mary Russell, went to reside - with him at Dumfries and elsewhere in Scotland, and she be came pregnant. She continued to live with him, and ac companied him to England in 1796. She was a young Scotchwoman, and till then had never been out of that country. Being at that time visibly with child, the overseers of the poor of Carlisle, where she then was, obliged Colonel McDowell to give them a bond that her child should not become a burden to that parish. In October, 1796, the respondent was born, not at Carlisle, however, but at Chester, where the regi ment was then stationed. She continued to reside with the Colonel, and several children were the fruits of the connexion. On the 9th of March, 1808, a marriage con tract in the Scottish form was executed between her and the Colonel at Penrith, in Cumberland, by which they accepted each other as lawful spouses, and upon which Colonel M'Dowall settled upon her an annuity of 4001., payable from his entailed estates. Immediately after this Colonel M'Dowall re turned with her to Scotland as his wife, where they con tinued to live together as man and wife till the Colonel's death, in 1834. The legal question arising out of these facts was, whether the circumstance of the respondent's birth having taken place in England, would prevent the operation of the law of legitimation per subsequentem ma. trimonium, which would have taken place if Colonel M'Dowall and Mary Russell had remained in Scotland until the birth of the respondent. The judicial proceed. ings between the parties commenced with a summons, at the joint instance of the respondent and his father, against the Countess of Dalhousie and the other appellants, as heirs substitute in estates in which the late Colonel M'Dowall had succeeded under settlement alleged to be of strict entail. The summons concluded that it should be found, and declared that the pursuer, James M'Dow. all, was the eldest lawful son of his father, Andrew M'Dowall, and as such was entitled to all the rights and privileges of a child born in lawful wedlock. During the dependence of this action, Colonel M'Dowall died, and immediately upon that event taking place a counter action was raised at the instance of the appellant, in which it was sought to have it declared by the Court that the Countess of Dalhousie was next heiress of entail to the late Colonel A/1 4 0°mill, in consequence, as it was alleged, of his having died without heirs lawfully born. It was also sought to have set aside certain deeds granted by the late Colonel to his son. The Court of Session, on hearing the case, decided in favour of the respondent, and 'rom that decision the present appeal was brought. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ments, stated that he should postpone giving his judg ment until he had heard the case of Monro v. Monro, which involved precisely the same point that was raised in the present appeal. Sir F. Pollock, Mr. K. Bruce, and Mr. Burge ap peared for the appellants; and the Attorney-General and the Lord Advocate were counsel for the respondent. THE MARKETS._(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD MARKET. Fair supplies. and the prices of Fish, Butcher's Meat, Game, Poultry, and Vegetables, were as on Tuesday, with a brisk trade. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. Supplies good, and trade brisk.—Turbot, ss: to 21s. ; Cod, 3F. to 12s. ; Solei, 6d. to 4s. per pair ; plentiful, 2s. to 6s. ; Oysters, 245. to 60s. per bushel ; Salmon, 2s. 6d. to Si. per lb. ; Mackerel, 6d. to ls. HAY MARKET. Moderate supplies, but a good demand; prices much as before ; Hay, 70s. to 90s. ; Clover, 803. to 1 lbs. ; Straw, 345. to 445. per load. COLONIAL MARKET. This market was again greatly neglected, owing to the ex citement prevailing in the tea department. We have heard of one board only of British Plantation being sold, and that was low brown at 555. A mixed parcel of 2,400 bags Mauritius sold at 40s. and 60s. ; and a mixed parcel of Bengal realised about former rates. All of these parcels did not sell. TEA MARKET. The market was in an excited state, and higher prices were asked. Many parties are inclined to regard the last news as not founded in fact, and some very heavy wagers have been laid that such is the case. But little business doing, and all parties looking anxiously for the mail from Canton. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. very quiet at 51s. BRIMSTONE MARKET. Since the statement made by Lord Lyndhurst in the House of Lords on the subject of the monopoly, the market has become quiet, and the nearest price for good seconds on the spot was 121. 10s. We understand that the Company's Agents will not sell at that price. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COVENTRY RACES. -WEDN ESDAY.

DEATH OF LADY TYNTE CALDWELL._Her Ladyship died at the hotel in Sackville-street, Dublin, on Fri day last, after a short illness. Her Ladyship was the wife of Sir John Caldwell, Bart., of Castle Caldwell, county Fermanagh. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST A WHOLE FAMILY. —On Wednesday an inquest was held before Messrs. Gell and Higgs, at the Red Lion, Prince's-street, Westminster, on the body of John Gates, aged 68, whose death took place under most extraordinary circum stances. It appeared that on Friday evening the deceased, who lived at No. 7, Pye-street, Westminster, was sitting with his wife, when he suddenly jumped up, and said he would go to bed. He had not been there above a quarter of an hour when he was seized with a fit to which he was subject, and his wife, who had all the time been sitting in the room, observed what appeared to be vitriol on his face. She states that she missed a bottle containing some vitriol at the same time, and it has not since been found. The deceased died on Monday. The surgeon considered the case so suspicious that he could not come to any conclusion as to the cause of death, the upper part of the face, eyes, and ears being much burnt. The mother and family had been taken into custedy, but were liberated to await the coroner's inquest. The deceased could not tell how he came into the state he was in. The inquiry was adjourned in order to make a post mortem examination of the body. FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—On Wednes day forenoon, a little girl, named Elizabeth Hazel, only four years old, living with her parents at 25, Lambeth-street, White chapel, was in the act of running across the road when a Black wall omnibus, No. 5,412, passing at the time at a moderate pace, knocked the child down, and the wheels passed over her body, crushing the right thigh in a frightful manner. The little sufferer was conveyed at once to the London Hospital, Mile-end, where every assistance was rendered, but she died a short time after her admission. No blame appears to attach to the driver of the omnibus, who is a sober steady man, and appeared much affected at the unfortunto circumstance ----- The annual dinner of one of the best of the benevolent institutions with which, under Providence, London abounds—we mean the benevolent Society of St. Patrick—will take place, as usual, on the 17th of March, the patron saint day of Ireland. The late Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Nor manby, will take the chair, and will be supported, inter alios, by the Marquises of Downshire and Headfort, the Earls of De von, Desart, and Fingal' ; Lord Lurgan ; Lord Shelburne and Lerd Milton, as representatives of the Lansdowne and Fitzwil ham properties; the Hon. Henry Westenra, Mr. Hume, Mr. Ashton Yates, and other gentlemen connected by birth and property with the sister country. - COVENT- GARDEN THEATRICAL FUND.—The coming anniversary Festival, which is to take place on Wed nesday next, in Freemasons' Hall, is spoken of as having greater attractions than any which has been celebrated for many years past, to which end the Secretary and Committee of Manage ment are at present laudably and indefatigably exerting them selves in providing all available talent in the musical depart ment, which, as formerly, will be under the direction of Sir G. Smart, who will preside at the pianoforte. The following distinguished vocalists have already promised their valuable as sistance :—Madame Vestris, Miss 111 aria B. Hawes, Miss Lu combe, Miss RaPriforth, Miss H. Cawse, and Miss P. Horton. Mrs. Anderson, pianiste to her Majesty, and Mr. N. Mori, will nerform a duet on the pianoforte and violin, anti Mr. Sedg wick. some popular air with variations on the concertina ; Messrs. H. Phillips, Harrison, Borrani, C. Taylor, Hudson, and a host of talent besides, have volunteered their services, so that a musical treat of no ordinary kind may be confidently an ticipated, His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will be in the Chair, and will be supported by several Noblemen and Gentlemen eminent in the political, literary, and theatrical world, who have signified their intention of being present. DESTITUTION AMONGST THE WORKING CLASSES.—On Saturday last, a baker, in Calton, thinking that his beggar customers were on the increase fell on the following plan to a scerta i n t h e number who visited him in one day ;—He put 100 small biscuits into a basket, and gave each beggar one as they came in. He opened his she') at seven o'clock in the morning, and by six o'clock in the evening only 36 biscuits out of the 100 put into the basket in the morning remained . Amongst those who got biscuits were fourteen boys and girls ; E ur blind men, led by dogs; the others appeared to be trades' people out of employment. EVENING EDITION. POLITICAL SUMHARY MORNING JOURNALS. The Times of this morning, referring again to the Privilege question, observes :—" To-morrow evening is to be discussed in the House of Commons a Bill which we will say, if fatally carried, will produce a greater change in the English Constitu tion, and more especially in the purer parts of it—the Courts of Justice—than modern times, so given to change, have yet seen. Privilege' is the heading of the Bill, and its title A Bill to give Summary Protection to Persons employed in the Publica tion of Parliamentary Papers.' Its real title ought to be 6 A Bill for shutting up Courts of Justice against persons injured or aggrieved by libel contained in the publications of the House of Commons, and sold by the Printers of the House.' "—The Morning Chronicle thus alludes to the public dinner given to Mr. Byng yesterday :—" The honour paid to a public servant in the evening of his days is of the most beneficial tendency, and serves to counteract the feeling of despondency which is but too apt to take possession of men when they find their best endeavours misconstrued, and the worst motives attributed to them, by showing that a long life spent in doing good proves at last an over match for envy and detraction, and that though justice may be refused for a time,it will not always be withheld. " TheMorningildverliserobserves,in reference to the public dinner given yesterday at Drury-lane Theatre to Mr. Byng Yes terday was a day which will not only constitute an era in Mr. Byng's existence, whatever may be the peried to which the lion. Gentleman's life may extend, but which will be for ever memorable in the history of the country. Never has it been our fortune to witness a more imposing or striking display of public feeling in favour of a representative of the people, than that which was last night exhibited within the walls of Drury lane Theatre in favour of Mr. Byng."
