A comparison of the entreaties addressed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL by the deputation of 107, and of the schemes of the Government for the relief of Ireland, presents to us a spectacle more repulsive than any thing we can just now remember. Men could nut by possibility evince a greater degree of callousness to the sufferinzs of their fellow creatures than did these sixty-four Peers and these forty-three represen tatives. In the contrast of their resolutions and of the acknowledged wretchedness which is now rife in their afflicted country, there is something absolutely horrible. Hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men would at this moment be in a state of hopeless desti tution but for the lavish assistance of the Govern ment. But for that extraordinary assistance from the Executive those hundreds of thousands of able bodied men, and the families dependent upon their labour for sustenance, amounting to a frightful aggregate very nearly approaching to 4,000,000 souls, would have to. perish like rats in their cabins. Upon the munificence of Government these 4,000,000 are subsisting. Fo: the time being, during the first paroxysnas of hunger consequent upon the existing dearth, the State advances man fully for the rescue of its children; it takes the whole burden of their sorrows upon its shoulders ; it opens the veins of its own vitality, and lets the blood by which it subsists flow freely into the impoverished system of the starving millions; it does everything that a loving parent and a benignant guardian could do to prevent the evil consequences which, but for its gigantic and cordial exertions, would have been in evitable. It appropriates a magnificent grant of 10,000,0001. for the exclusive use of Ireland in her present affliction. It has been so far from extorting from the pockets of the Irish proprietary the contri butions which were, on the outbreak of the calamity, most imperatively necessary for the salvation of the lives of the peasantry, that it actually undertakes to become the lender of additional money to that proprietary, at the insignificant interest of 31 per cent. It establishes an enormous commis sariat throughout the island ; it accumulates corn in the stores for a possible increase of the emergency ; it awards a sum of 50,000/. for the purchase of seed for the ensuing spring; it taxes all its combined intellect, all its time, all its energy, all its pecuniary strength, all its moral and physical influence, to conquer the dread Demon of Famine, and to ward off the javelins of its follower, Pestilence. Under the ..:Egis of the Government Ireland has been sheltered in its extreme desolation and helplessness. Through the sole exertions of the Executive 3,500,000 of our fellow-creatures have been preserved from a terrible and inevitable death. But for those exertions on the Part of the Government these 3,500,000 souls would have died long since, and Goy knows what might not have been the mortality which would have fol lowed thereupon ! Meanwhile the proprietary are remaining on the whole inactive. They take an interest in the struggles of the Government officers against the local destitu tion which is growing and growing, and widening in all directions over Ireland—but their interest is passive. Nor is this all. Instead of taking a rigid supervision of the manner in which the charities of the State were being distributed, they look upon that distribution with the utmost indifference; insomuch that the agents of the Government have been very largely swindled by the sons of the more affluent agriculturists. That is the difference of the labours of the Government and of the Irish proprietors in regard to Ireland. A more splendid munificence could hardly have been displayed by any administration—a more hardened and inflexible in difference could not have marked the conduct of any body of landlords similarly situated, than that which has been evinced by a considerable number of the landlords in the afflicted provinces. In honesty, in justice, in self-defence, and for the general safety of the empire, it was incumbent upon the Government, however, to put a limit to its enormous charities. Without the purse of FORTU- NATUS, or the lamp of ALADDIN, it was impossible for any power en earth to keep fountains of gold playing perpetually. A barrier must be marked up, beyond which no further disbursements of this kind should proceed from the Exchequer. By its generosity on the original appearance of the dearth, time had been gained for a calm deliberation of the plans to be adopted under the circumstances. That time has been gained, that deliberation has taken place, these plans have been adopted, and the skeleton of those plans is the establishment of an extended poor•law for the relief of poverty and starvation in Ireland. It is a notorious fact, as demonstrable as the concen tric revolutions of the planets, that the present woes of that portion of the British islands are flowing entirely and directly from the criminal conduct of the Irish proprietors themselves. For the result of their sins we have been paying enormously---‘se .re still paying enormously—and have promised to pay yet more enormously, both in loans, in grants, in gifts, in manual toil, in taxation, and in the exhaus tion of the bulk of our legislative energy. If, therefore, we regarded this matter merely in respect to its i n t egr i ty, namely, upon the principle that every culprit must pay the penalty of his own offences, the guilty proprie tary of Ireland would be compelled by the Executive to liquidate all those expenses and payments which have been incurred through the malign operation of their own evil-doings. But the Government is not thus inexorable. The Government merely requires that the Irish landowners shall in future provide for the destitute population by a judicious imposition of poor-rates. The Government sees that it is but fitting that the men who are deriving their incomes from the muscular exertions, from the toil, and drudgery, and ill-remunerated strug gles of the peasantry, should be called upon tor assistance, when that Peasantry has been brought down to a condition bordering upon starvation. Hence it is that Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposes the introduction of the poor-law into Ireland, and there upon 107 Legislators adjure the Government to pause before that measure is forced into an enactment. They are averse to out-door relief to able-bodied labourers. Why, what in the name of Common Sense has the Government been doing for the last six months but giving out door relief to able bodied labourers ? And without doing so, upwards of 3,500,000 Irish must have died in their cabins, and their decaying bodies must have bred a plague that would have ravaged the survivors. But the Irish party, speaking together to the number of 107, express their abhorrence of all out door relief to able-bodied labourers l Now that clamour either means that 4,000,000 men shall be abandoned to death, or that the Government shall continue to drain its revenues by pampering their iniquitous, and extortionate avarice. Either con clusion is as disgraceful as it is criminal and mon strous. It has frequently been our duty to direct the public attention to cases in which individuals have been subjected to serious expense and inconvenience, to a prolonged imprisonment, and the demoralisation con sequent upon the intercourse and communication with the most abandoned characters, while detained in custody, and to the odium and disgrace necessarily attendant upon a public trial, through the culpable negligence of the committing magistrate, who too often receives the informations, and sends:parties for trial, without having such evidence before him as to afford any reasonable prospect of a conviction. The Senate has rung within the last week with the in dignant remonstrances of Lord BROUGHAM on the conduct of one of the metropolitan justices, who committed a child of five years old to prison on a charge of felony ; and on another occasion of another, who sent three boys, under twelve years of age, to stand their trial also on a charge of felony, for having . taken the cap from the head of another boy and flung it into a piece of waste ground, manifestly in boyish sport. At Chelmsford, on Friday, we find two persons, a young man and a woman, placed at the bar on a charge of wilful murder, in its most terrific and horrible form—by poison ; when the first witness, the medical man who opened and examined the body of the de ceased, at once established the fact that there was no proof whatsoever that the deceased child had died from any other than natural causes, IN hereupon the Chief Justice, as a matter of course, at once stopped the case, and directed the jury to acquit the pri soners. In this case the cause of the child's death was investigated before the Coroner and a jury, who returned a verdict, " That it died of convulsions." The body was opened, and no trace of poison was discovered; and yet, notwithstanding these facts, a magistrate was to be found, who sent two manifestly innocent persons to a comman gaol, on the most serious charge known to the law, either from gro,s ignorance of his duty, or for some unaccountable reason. 'And in another similar case, tried the same day at the same place, the evidence of the medical witness entirely negatived the fact of any poison or corrosive substance being the cause of the death of the infant, and stated that, according to his opinion, it might be accounted for by perfectly natural causes. Under these circumstances the counsel for the prosecu tion most properly withdrew from the case, saying that he could not ask for a conviction. Surely cases each as these to which we have just alluded are de se-rving of the most grave reprehension. The liberty of the subject is not to be disregarded in such a reckless manner by persons clothed with an authority, far the due and discreet exercise of which they are !manifestly not fitted. Every member of society surrenders a certain portion of his natural liberty ; he binds himself to submit to certain restrictions, and to contribute to certain expenses for the general benefit ; in return he obtains protection for himself and property, and tile entire power of the State is bound to be exercised on his behalf to protect him in the en joyment of his rights. In every case of grave sus p icion he is subjected to arrest, to be brought before ne of these public functionaries, whose duty it is Sully to inquire, and if there should be sufficient grounds, to remand the prisoner for further evidence, tut if that evidence should not be of such a character a s to afford a fair and reasonable prospect that a jury v vill be thereupon satisfied of the guilt of the accused party, he should at once be discharged from custody scud restored to his family and friends. Injustice is neldom committed in the final result. Eminent men, celected for their learning, hold the scales of justice, who, recollecting the benign principle of the British " That it is better that ninety-nine guilty per sons should escape the consequences of their crimes, fiihan that one innocent person should be subjected to indeserved punishment," instruct the juries that if t bey entertain any reasonable doubt of the prisoner's railt they should give him the benefit of that doubt ; t d if, from poverty or other cause, a prisoner s h ould be unable to obtain professional assistance, f Lr his defence, he always finds the presiding judge r( trtdy to act as his advocate, and anxious to discover 1.(1 lay before the jury any favourable or mitigating ci nalmstances. In the earlier stages, however, the principle appears to be reversed. The moment a pp xty is brought before a magistrate he is treated as if lie were actually guilty; even before he is corn iniltted for trial he is subjected to treatment fitting on'tv for criminals; he is not allowed free intercourse wi ti his friends, nor full opportunity of preparing for his defence; he is locked up in his cell at the same hours and under the same circumstances as those who are suffering the punishment due to the crimes; he is not permitted to obtain, although wil Ling to pay for them, the comforts to which he has ,been accustomed. If he wants to write on the mos At private matters to his friends his letters must be e3ted and read by the prison authorities before they can be forwarded or received. He is treated as a criminal and punished be fore there is sufficient evidence to warrant an in .vestigation before a jury of his country. The law a trthorises his detention and nothing more, but the r , !...gulations of the visiting justices turn that detent ion into a serious punishment. Surely there should. be reguations for untried prisoners wholly differe r t from those to which we have referred. Ant )1 her magisterial practice has come to light within the past week which has elicited the just and indigr e nt reprehension of the Learned Judge : it appeal ^s that a policeman was disguised and locked up in a cell with a prisoner at Warminster, in order to ent e r into conversation with him, and to report any st a tement which might be extracted from him to the su p erintendent. There is something so repugnant to ev a ry manly feeling in this abominable spy systen s. —it has been already so often animad verted on by many of the judges of the land— it lu Is forth such a temptation to per jury, and takes such unfair advantage of the accuse d , that we had hoped it could not have obtain e• 3 the sanction of any English gentlemen at the pr.( ;ent day. We regret to find that we were mistak e n. Most seriously, however, do we hope that a full : u id searching inquiry may be directed by the Home- I Jffi ce or the Legislature, and that a warning may b e held out to other occupants of the magis terial 1 k nch, that they cannot with impunity outrage the put 'ic feelings by a repetition of such unconsti tutiona 1 conduct. A lc t ter from Berlin, of 5, states that the trial o.! the Poles compromised in the events of Februfis y, 1846, is shortly to commence. The in iiictme 2 '; divides the prisoners into three categories, the firs t of which comprehends all that were led away by the idea that the Government menaced the Catholid.' religion. Against this class of persons the law (Ala rs call for no punishment, considering the imprisons nent which they have undergone as a suffi cient exji ation of their conduct. It is, consequently! against tal e other two divisions that the proceedings are to bc-J. directed. The 2. 'rankfurter Journal contains a letter from Lemb( mg, of the 25th ult., which states that a conflict result. ; • LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1847. had just taken place between the peasantry and the soldiers. Great distr( , s exist?, nrcl. sever:lll),nd? o f peasants were going through the country armed. It was with one of these that the armed force had come to a collision. Nothing is said in the letter as to the The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter fro :u Posen, of the 2d, stating, on the authority of some persons who had just arrived from Warsaw, that the reports which have been mentioned of the movements of Russian troops towards the frontier of the kingdom of Poland, and which have been contradicted by a Vienna journal, were well founded. We learn from Warsaw, 2d inat., that an imperial ukase has been published there for the formation of a Council of Commerce and Manufactures. The Mankeim Journal gives the following account of the loans contracted by the German States during the last two years :—Grand Duchy of Baden 14 mil lions of florins; Electoral Hesse, 114 ; Hanover, 84 ; Austria, 98 ; and Wurtemberg, 12 ; amounting in all to 1444 millions of florins (296,250,000 f.) To this must be added loans contracted by Anhalt, Proe then, Hamburgh, and Frankfort. As to Austria, her loans since 1830 are these :—in 1830, 20 millions of florins at 4 per cent., at 97; in 1832, two five per cent. loans amounting to 94,644,000 florins ; in 1833 , 40 millions of florins at five per cent., taken at 894 ; in 1884, a five per cent. loan of 25 millions at par : in 1835, a three per cent. loan of 40 millions at 75 ; in 1839, a five per cent. loan of 30 millions at par ; in 1841, a five per cent. loan of 38,461,000 florins at 102 ; and in 1847, the late loan of 80 millions ; mak ing in all 368,105,000 florins. Madrid papers have arrived. Another Ministerial crisis has occurred. The Minister at War, General ORAA, having determined with the consent of his colleagues to dismiss General BRETON from the government of Catalonia and to appoint General PAVIA, Governor of Old Castile, in his room, at the same time conferring the Govern ment of Old Castile on General MaNuEL DE LA CON CHA, presented to her MAJESTY on the 6th, decrees for the purpose of carrying out these arrangements. Her MAJESTY refused her signature to these, as she did not approve of the appointment of General CON CHA. On the 7th the Duke of SOTOMAYER is said to have waited on the QUEEN with the collective re signation of the Cabinet. It was stated that NAR VAEZ and Mote and PIDAL would be the chiefs of the new Administration, and that B.:taro MURILLO would retain his office of Minister of Justice. The following document, addressed by Don ENRIQUE to the Cortes, is published in the Hera/do: " Don Eenrique de Bourbon, with the profound respect for the Cortes which their national mission and noble and elevated character inspires, says that, considering himself as isolated and cast into oblivion since the marriages of Queen Isabella 11. and her august sister with two illustrious princes, he has decided in this case, and exercising his free right, to follow ' in all things the dictates of bis own soul, has imposed upon himself the obligation of not placing his affections upon any but a Spanish lady. The requests he has addressed to her Majesty the Queen having resulted in obtaining the verbal permission, with all the assurances he could desire, for con tracting a marriage with Donna Elena Castellvi Shelly Fer nandez de Cordova, daughter of their Excellencies the Count and Countess del Castellvi de la Villaneuva y Garces, with the sole condition of remaining for some time out of the capital, lie had decided upon having the public and solemn contract drawn up, submitting to aa the consequences of this mar riage. But on the morning of the 7th, although his health had been suffering since the end of the autumn, and he had been ill on the preceding evening, be was arrested by sur prise, and carried in his bed with all the apparatus of force, and surrounded by bayonets, to the palace Of his father, and without having obtained permission to take leave of their Majesties and present his homage to them, was sent off' under escort for Barcelona, where orders had already been given to allow him only the time necessary for his meal. lie was there charged, in the name of the Minister of Marine, with a mission for Naples, which would have been an ho nourable one if he had been permitted to prepare for it, and if the means employed to remove him from the capital, his family, and his country had been milder, and less public— a mission which would have been honourable if he had been allowed the suite befitting his rank in the navy, and still more so as an Infante of Spain, and if he had been furnished with the elements indispensable for such missions, and for the labours, investigations, plans, models, &c., which have to be addressed to the Government as the result of them—an honourable mission if he had not been allowed too short a time to become acquainted with the modern ame lioration of so vast an arsenal as that of Toulon in all its branches, and with the present system of organisation of the French navy, which must be studied with care in order to be able to prepare a proper report, and if he had not been required to remain an unlimited time at Naples,_ from which is expected the important informati on w hi c h is to raise our navy from its present low state, and our arsenals from the ruin and oblivion in which they have been left—an honourable mission if any importance were attached to the results which would ensue from an examination of the arsenals of England, the great maritime nation of which no mention is made—an honourable mission, in short, if the mo- tive of an exile long prepared for could have been better con cealed from the nation; and if, in thus removing Don Henry de Bourbon from his mother country, his family, and his affec tions, an Infante of Castille, thefiear relation of kings, had not been compelled to present himself in foreign countries with out any suite, and without any other resources than those which in a moment of confusion and surprise, and of very natural regret for his family, his august father had been able to procure for him for his arrival at Barcelona, and his first exigencies. Reduced as Infante of Spain, and as commo dore, to his sole person this order itself proves the impos sibility of any good result, and places it in a grave position, for it is there said that her Majesty feels confident that he will fulfil his mission as he ought to do. It is therefore far from being honourable. It is thus that he has been torn from his mother country, from his family, and from the person whom lie bad chosen to form his domestic happi ness, without having fallen into any fault which had tarnished his honour, and which deserved the application every as unworthy : of measures so little honour ab l e , so severe, and so far from conciliatory.

" Toulon, Feb. 24." On the 7th, TRISTAN; at the head of a Carlist band, gained possession of Tarassa, a small town, eight leagues from Barcelona. He was, however' shortly afterwards driven out by the QUNEN'S troops' with the loss of 15 men. The following is an extract from a letter from the frontiers of Catalonia, dated March 5 : " It is now impossible to disguise the fact that th e C ar li st party seriously intend again to raise the standard of civil war in Spain ; a great movement may, therefore, be speedily expected. It appears that it has only been hitherto delayed by the severity of the weather and the deep snow w hi c h still covers the mountains. The Carlist chiefs have decided that their troops shall all be clothed alike; their dress is to be the blouse, pantaloons of olive velvet, with caps of grey felt. A merchant of Cerdagne, whose name remain s no longer a mystery, has entered into a contract for their supply. A number of packages of caps have already been rent to the Carlists. I only state facts to you, which I might multiply, and which are of incontrovertible exactitude. The great expenses into which the party enter make it to be supposed that they have abundance of money; and the resolution to which they have come to have a regular uniform leads one to suppose that they intend to carry on the campaign openly." of June. Two days ago bargains were made at Havre for the delivery of American flour, at the period we have i ii± price was from 46f. to 48f. London follows in the same progres sion. In Belgium we are forestalled, the northern store houses are inadequate to the demands upon them, and as long as this f,reign competition shall keep up the prices, it will be impossible to stop the rise here. Nevertheless, the arrivals are becoming multiplied, ani the Mayor of Havre has just published au encouraging list of ships laden with corn shortly expected in that port. We eagerly accept these promises, but we must not delude ourselves in the anticipa tions of their consequences. The wants of France are un questionably very great, though they may be exaggerated by fear. Many municipalities and private associations, more alarmed for public order and security than frightened at an apprehended dearth, have formed themselves into mercan tile corn companies, and make purchases at the ports. From this it results that the quantities of wheat imported, though presenting an important mass, disappear the moment they are landed and disseminated throughout the country. Hence arises a natural consequence ; speculation not being affected by the importations, as it would be if the corn re mained for a time at the port of its arrival, the prices do not give way, the demands are made in quick succession, and the high price continues. This clearly explains why, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals, the prices have not been reduced, nor probably will be reduced yet. In the last case the population is fed, the imported corn is brought into general consumption, only it is paid dearly for, more dearly even than it is really worth. We have a pro • found conviction that there is no real danger of a dearth—it has, indeed, become impossible; but we may expect that the prices will become excessively high. In a word, the country will have all the wheat necessary for its sustenance, but it will cost enormously dear. Let it not be said, tl at it did not depend upon any one to save France from these sacrifices. If the operations which have been practised within the last one or two months had been commenced in October or November, we should have received before the seas were shut up by the ice all the corn we have need of, and even more, instead of being embarrassed and distressed in March and April, and even until June, and then find our selves in July encumbered with a superabundance. The dealers would have had enough to supply all demands, and the prices could not have risen beyond a certain limit. Corn would have been undoubtedly sold at a high price, but to the natural causes of the dearness there would not have been added that panic which creates factitious prices, and deceives all foresight. If . the Ministry, better informed or more sincere, had not kept up too long, by imprudent circulars, a deceitful security—if it had taken the initiative in such energetic measures as provident minds advised them to take, the evil would have been considerably alleviated. It is its inexcusable want of care and its igno rance which have brought on the crisis. Nothing now re mains for the country but to bear the consequence of the faults committed by its Government. May this be at least a profitable lesson to all ; and when the evil days have passed may it please Almighty God to teach us to seek from an experience so severely taught to take all due means to prevent their return, which would be worth more than incessantly talking of repression. It is legitimate, no doubt, to take precautions against disturbances, but the first duty of a Government is to prevent the causes which provoke them, and sometimes give them the semblance of justification." From the provinces the accounts of the scarcity are deplorable. At Bayonne fire bakers have been compelled to shut up their shops, from inability to procure flour. Queen CHRISTINA, who arrived at Bayonne on the 11th, was to leave for Paris on Sunday. The Monileur publishes a dispatch of Marshal BUGEAUD, dated Aumale, the Ist inst., confirming the previous account of the submission of the cele brated califa of Abdel Kader, Thaieb Ben Salem, of Bou Chareb, of Medeah, Sid Abderrehaman, former chief of Dellys, Bel Kassem and his brother Ahmed Ben Salem, &c. " The man claimed by those chiefi who had hitherto given proofs of the greatest fidelity to the Emir, cannot fail," says the Marshal, " to pro duce a strong moral effect over all tins native popu lation, who must now renounce the hope of seeing ABDEL KADER again at their head. The eastern frontier of the province of Algiers was but 18 leagues distant from that city; it is now removed to 50 leagues."

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group, re-assembled in Room 30, at the usual hour this morning ; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair. IMES NORM" ILIUM MIN= Mr. Thomas Philpott, town-councillor of Canterbury, gave general evidence in favour of this line. As to the idea of competition, it was preposterous. The lines would never pay, and in the end an amalgamation would throw the cost of the railway upon the public. The pec,ple of Canter bury suffered from an instance of that nature during the old coach system. There was once a severe competition in coach travelling between Canterbury and London, but eventually a union of interests took place, and the public had to pay, in the shape of increased charges and reduced speed, for the former fully. Besides, Kent had nothing to fear from mono poly, because, should the railway company misbehave them selves, there was still the old river communication open to them. Mr. M. J. Knatchbull, son of Sir E. Knatchbull, the late Member for the county of Kent, and Mr. Cooper, alderman of Canterbury, gave corroborative evidence. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir L. SIIADWELL.) BIRCH V. JOY. This cause came on for futher directions on petition. It appeared that the plaintiff entered into an agreement with a Mr. Colquhoun for the puchase of certain leasehold and free hold estates in the county of Norfolk, which were liable to certain incumbrances. One of the incumbrancers was the present defendant, who was the personal representative of Mr. Colquhoun. The plaintiff was put in possession of the property; but Mr. Colquhoun having become embarrassed, was obliged to leave the country before any conveyance was executed, and in two years afterwards Joy filed a bill, in which he alleged that the purchase-money, instead of 95,0001., the sum paid by the plaintiff in the present suit 110,0001., and that he (Joy's) annuity of 300/. per annum, was not redeemable; therefore that he was entitled to its payment, together with the interest which had accrued, which was resisted by Birch. The bill of the defendant came. before the Court in 1830, and his Honour decreed that his annuity had ceased in 1824. In 1831 this decree was con firmed by the then Lord Chancellor, but in 1836 was altered by the House of Lords, who directed that Joy should have a reference to the Master, to ascertain what lien or claim he had on the purchase money. The Master's report, in 1841, found that the estate was liable to certain incumbrances, among the rest, to the annuity of Joy, and 5,000/. also due to him. Mr. Bethel!, Q.C., and Mr. Parker were heard to-day fur the plaintiff. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Hester Baggett and Joseph Baggett, her son, were placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with obtaining the sum of 20/. by means of a forged order, from the Provident Institution Savings' Bank, Saint Martin's-place. Jose - ph Baggett, butcher, No. 7, Market- street, Newport • market, stated that the prisoners were his wife and son, and that hie wife had been in the habit of drinking to excess. On Wednesday last he was informed that his wife had lost eleven pounds, and knowing that she could not, from her habits be possessed of eleven pence, he made inquiries, which led him to search fur his savings' bank book. On finding it, and referring to it, he was astounded to find that she had been to the bank and drawn 204 out without his consent or knowledge. The prisoner, after obtaining the money, absconded. He then gave information to the police, who took her into custody last night. Mr. Edward Boodle, comptroller and secretary to the Provident Institution Savings' Bank, St. Martin's-place, said that on the 26th ult. a female came to the bank and applied for the payment of 201., and the same time producing an order purporting to be signed by the prosecutor. Through some informality in the wording of the order, he refused to pay the money. On the 6th in stant, the female prisoner, accompanied by the boy, came to the bank, and brought a letter purporting to have been written by the prisoner's son, by his authority, which stated that the prosecutor was in very ill health, that the bearers were his wife and son, and requested that the money might be paid to them. The money was paid, the female prisoner giving him a receipt for the same. In reply to Mr. Bingham, the prosecutor said that he could not write, and that he never gave his son any autho rity to write the letter and order produced for him, or to his wife to draw the money from the bank. Mr. BINGHAM remanded them till Wednesday next. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. On Friday Marshal SOULT announced to the Chambers the death of M. MARTIN (du Nord), Keeper of the Seals, and Minister of Justice and Re ligious Worship. He is succeeded in his offices by M. HEBERT. The high price of bread continues to produce considerable alarm in Paris. On this subject the National says " At this moment it would be useless to dissemble the gravity of the state of the country. The crisis has become general, and more than two months must elapse before any reduction in the prices of corn can restore activity to busi ness, or security to its dealings. On every side the rise continues to go progressively on. From the end of January to the end of Feb r uary, in different regions, this rise was from 2f. 79c. to 61. 9c., being upon the average 3f. 86c., or more than double the increase of from December to January. The average price of corn at the end of February was 331. 78c. the hectolitre. Since the beginning of March this rise has been universal throughout France. In the circle of Paris, during the first week, wheats have reached from 41f. to 43f. ; in the Nord from 38f. to 41f.; in Nor mandy from 38f. to 40f. ; in the West from 32 f. to 36 f.; in the Centre from 40f. to 441. In the East, in Alsace. Franche Comte, Champagne, and Lorraine, it is still worse. In the Vosges, at Raon l'Etape, wheat has been sold at 45f. 80c. the hectolitre. There has been no fall except at Marseilles, and there it cannot last. At Dijon there have been no variations of prices. Since that period the state of the markets has become still worse. At Paris, flour, which was sold at 107 f. to 1081. the 157 kilogrammes from Satur day to Monday rose between 3f. and 41., and on Wednesday the dealers demanded from 116 f. to 117 f. Certain choice marks were even held up to from 118 f. to 120 f. the 157 kilo grammes; thus th e rate f or t h e ass i ze on the 10th wa s 67t. 27e., which makes bread come to 57c. the kilogramme, or nearly If. 15c. the 2 ki ogrammes, or 41b. loaf, being four centimes higher than for the present fortnight. Out of Paris, but at our v er y ga t es , as in Champagne, for instance, the price of flour i s f r o m 120 f. t o 1221. the 157 kilos. In the Allier, at the last market of Montlucon, rye was quoted at 41f. the hectolitreaud wheat at 49f. and 50f. And this is the case in all other parts. What should most particularly occupy our attention is the fact, that we can no longer rely upon the home produce for the general supply. Our harvest of 1846 is coneumed, and if there be any reserves at all, they are in very small quan titi es , purc h ase d by individuals at th e beginning of the winter for their personal wants. Private granaries are exhausted, and the dealers have no resource but foreign countries. As we have often observed, the nature of things will not permit us to hope that the arrivals will be sufficiently numerous, and the wheats im ported considerable enough to put at once a stop to the rise, and then cause a fall before the middle or perhaps the end SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas 'larding Faith, a powerful man, was charged with assaulting a police constable. The defendant forced his way into the station-house, and smashed the windows, in consequence of being refused' ad mission, and bit the policeman's leg. It was further stated, that previously to his being locked up he went into a public house, and, being a man of great strength, insisted on drinking out of the glasses of all in the room, without con tributing to the payment. In answer to the charge, the defendant said he must have been mad at the time, or he would never have insisted on being taken to the station-house. He regretted all that had occurred. The MAGISTRATE said, that he should fine the defendant 205., or 21 days' imprisonment. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, REGENT'S PARK.—At a meeting of fellows held on Saturday, at the gardens of the society, George Bishop, Esq., in 'the chair, a Lallot took place, and the following ladies and gentlemen were placed upon the list of the society :—Viscount Templeton, Wm.

A Puzzuz.—A letter last week passed through the Halifax post-office, directed to" Mr. John hie Cabegs lane, ale fackee." Notwithstanding the novelty of the orthog.raphy, the letter was duly delivered —according to the direction. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI Tl', Ql 7 _l:,:l''_::L' TO TihJi:L There was a dull radar:.- ;,:or Cott,,:i 00l 0 , , • day; sales about 2,000 bales. Buyers had an abundant choice, and prices were rather in their favour. The Railway Share Market was very flat. The accounts received to-day from the Continental grain markets, notice continued purchases for exportation to Eng land, with much firmness in prices. Up to the 9th inst., the weather was milder, and the ice was breaking up, but the navigation is not expected to be free again for some time. In Belgium about 100 waggons laden with grain had been seized by the authorities when about to pass the froutiel into France, contrary to the recent law prohibiting exports. Nevertheless, a large qua n tity was k nown to have been con veyed since the law came into operation. The Corn Market does not appear to have assumed any very decided feature this morning. Some parties call it a shade dearer for wheat than on Friday, but at least it may be quoted firm, in the absence of extensive dealings, for which the quieter state of the markets at Liverpool and in Ireland will partly account. Accourrs from the fair of Frankfort-on- the-Oder, dated the 2d inst., stated that the quantity of goods brought there was 75,000 cwt. The market falling earlier in the year than usual, and the scarcity of money and dearness of food being felt also, caused business to be rather slaek. The chief transactions were in Berlin calicoes, mousselines de laine, and single dyed woollens. In cloth, buckskins, and other similar articles, there was not much done. Silks were dull of sale, as also iron and steel fabrics, porcelain, glass, &c. In raw products, such as skins, furs, bristles, &c., a fair business was done. There is no news yet of the steamer from Boston, but she is hourly looked for. .... The fineness of the Weather was expected to have operated favourably upon the English Stock Market, and at the opening there was rather a firmer appearance, but buyers do not come forward freely, despite the impression in some quarters that the operations for a decline in prices have been carried too far. The conti❑ued export of the precious metals and the firm state of the corn market act very injuriously still upon the value of funded property, because few can predict the extent of the drain or the rise that may take place. Eiidently from the increase shown in its "other securities," the Bank of Eng- . land was tolerably liberal in its discounts up to the 6th inst. Consols after being 88% to 1 4, have just dropped to '87% for transfer to-morrow, and time bargains have been effected at 88% to 88. Consols Scrip has been done at Ito 1% dis count. Exchequer-bills are par to 4 premium. The Foreign Market has been very dull, and there is no speculation going on. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 22N, and the Three per Cents. 34%. The Deferred have been 16. Brazil Stock is marked 85%, and Mexican 21%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 57 5 / 8 . Shares are affected by the heavy condition of the Stock Market, but the sales have not been to any extent, and thus the decline is rather checked. The settlement is going on favourably.

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.) • CuiZ,N EXCHANGE—MONDAY . fl.:e arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week were on a very moderate scale, while the receipts of all other, articles of home produce were scanty, especially those 01 i%lalt and Peas. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any Grain came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat were., unusually small, those of Barley and Oats tolerably goo' . Fresh up a fair average quantity of Wheat reached us from Kent, but that from Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshirei &c., was rather limited. On the whole, the dibploi ° sampl,s —a portion of which came to hand by land car' riage—was seasonably good, and of full average 9,."; lity. The favourable change in the weather, tog e r; with the unwillingness evinced by the French buyers to the asking prices, caused the demand for all descriptions t_u b less active than was generally expected prior to th e. mencement of business. Still, 'however, the trade mos t , 1 .. considered firm, and, in some few instances, Is per q ueue ; more money was :paid for selected samples of both red an white W heat of home growth ; but this advance Ivas not considered general. The market closed firm, and we ( 1 11 :; te ~ the prices Is to 2s per quarter higher than en this . senni . ght, but at which a total clearance Ws! „gt effected. There were about 500 quarters 01 -_„;,1 disposed of for shipment to France at 80s per g u bia We had a very scanty show of foreign Wheat ' te , article was in good request, at an improvement in the,, t r a er . obtained on this day se'nnight of from 2s to 3s per cl ll ',:d The total sales-4,000 quarters being for France—were In; 7,500 quaiters, mostly red. The quantity of Barley, 1 1 full average, including the foreign arrivals ; yet the _ A arr n trade was thin, and last week's quotations were support e d every instance. Notwithstanding the show of Malt was I" the sale for that article was very dull, and prices had a d° l . l e l ; ward tendency, particularly those of the secondary qual iri With English Oats we were scantily supplied, but the c 11 14: City of foreign was fair, though by no means good in qu a l; s t A large business was doing at 6d to is per quarter abev e ...l' Monday's prices. The sale for Beans was slow, at late rates. Maple Peas, for seed, sold as high as 6°6 , 1 ,5 quarter. In other Peas very little was doing. The xl v ; 0 trade was firm, at extreme currencies.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT GRAVESEDn t o GRAVESEND, SATURDAY EYENING.--Shortly after twelve to. morning the town was again aroused to a state of alarm t he the outbreak of a fire in Harmer-street, in a line wit h 0 0 Terrace-pier, originating on the premises, No. 13, situstele, the east side, occupied by Mr. Powis'a fancy toy war lu It was discovered by a person who ebeerved a great Ugh' 0 d the front shop. He lost no time in giving the alarm, arousing the inmates, who effected their escape by ju m p 'f , out of the windows at the back. On the arrival of the towl corporation engines no one seemed to have any knowledge f, their proper management, and the greatest contention vailed among the firemen as to who should have priont.Y. At one period there was a fight to obtain possession of 0..: branch pipes. To render the confusion worse, no water IT . rocurable until the premises were in flames from the b al . to went to the roof. The Custom-house engine was brough'" nt the spot with equal alacrity, escorted by a strong detachate..t of soldiers from the Gravesend barracks, who throughout exerted themselves most energetically. The inhabitante! tearing the conflagration would extend to the adjacent houses, which at the height of the fire, seemed very Pr o , bable, dispatched messengers to Chatham and Dartford for the assistance of the brigade forces and engines, which Slic e ceeded in reaching Grav e send i n about an hour. In th meantime water was obtained, when the C u stom-house. ei c i l gine was brought t o pl a y on the a djoining houses, by wh i ch they were preserved from injury. The fate of Mr. Pan premises was very different—the whole were destroy ed, au _t the contents consumed. The fire was not finally go t un ?!.. i till near four o'clock. As to the cause, not the slight est In formation could be gleaned. ►._ ~. ! M ..
