f .171 three-fourths millions of dollars, subject to be used in s ip part as may be found necessary to meet the public ergo, cs, under all the uncertainties to which our financial operations are liable. " At this late day a power to issue Treasury notes instead of those heretofore or hereafter 1-Meets - fed, or to snake a temporary loan to that extent, subject to be redeemed after sixty or ninety days',. notice, seems the best, and in fact the only effectual, me thod of providing such means, until the receipts in the last half of the year, or subsequently, may enable the department to extinguish any debt incurred. " An increase of the tariff, or a recall of deposits from the States, would be too slow in their operation for obtaining ade quate funds seasonably, as some of them will be needed within two or three weeks. " To confer an efficient power, to procure necessary means, Would make no addition to the public burdens, but merely aid t he Executive branch of the Government to execute the laws with fidelity, by discharging appropriations already imposed by Congress; and to the prompt payment of which the public faith has been solemnly pledged. The propriety of doing it, therefore, seems too obvious to require further comment. " Having submitted these views, in addition to those hereto fore presented an the same subject, this department, except under new authority from Congress, can accomplish nothing more than t o continue to meet the public engagements to such an extent as may be practicable, however imperfectly, under the existing laws and the means already at its disposal. " Respectfully, .‘ LEVI WOODBURY, " Secretary of the Treasury. " To the President of the United States." MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR PORTER. " To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania : Gentlemen,—Please to communicate to the Legislature the information that the loan authorized by the Att. of the 22d of January last has been taken as follows : 1. " ;1 10 0,000 by the President, Directors, and Company of t he Bank of Pennsylvania ; $lOO,OOO by the Girard Bank ; an d the balance by the Bank of the United States : by reason of which the commonwealth is not able to pay and discharge 8 650 , 000 of the interest which fell due upon the Ist instant u pon the loans. " The amount provided by the Legislature for the payment of the interest, in the said Act of the 23d of January last, was evidently fixed by the Report of the State Treasurer on the subject of finance of the 9th of January. " From a statement now furnished by that officer, it ap- Pears that the whole amount cf interest due on the I st instant , was ......... " Deduct of the appropriation of the 23 d of J anuary " Paid from the Treasury. ....... 27,750 677,750 00 $40,860 78 ," paymenthus there is a balance of $40,860 78, for the of 7 ni eli immediate provision should be made by the Legislature. ! may not be improper to add that the further action of the i 2gislat ure on t he su bj ect o f t h e j o i nt reso l ut i on recom m e nded nil message of the Ist inst. is now unnecessary. Feb. 5, 1840." " DAVID R. PORTER." Bill was introduced in the House this morning, and passed mter but little discussion, to authorize the issue of scrip to make ul the deficit of $40,000 interest due by the State to its creditors. CANADA. (From the Upper Canada Gazette Extra, Feb. 10.) This day, at two o'clock, his Excellency the Governor pr oceeded in state to the Chamber of the Honourable !!ie Legislative Council, where, being arrived and seated on w ula Throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod wi , s sent e 411 a message from his Excellency to the House of Assembly , t , ( jernanding their attendance. The Members presen t b e ing the up accordingly, his Excellency was pleased to pror o gue e Session of the Legislature with the following SPEECH. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly; " In relieving you from further attendance in Parliament, I d~ sire to express my deep sense of the zeal and assiduity which I're distinovished your discharge of your duties during this, "haps, the most eventful Session of the Upper Canada Le ti slature, and I am anxious to offer you my own acknowledg ei outs for the ready attention which you have given to the n'usideratio n of the important business which it was my duty bring before you. 4 ' Your willing acquiescence in the proposed re-union of this tivince with Lo wer C an ada, upon the terms, and according to e principles, suggested by me, has afforded me the most lively ti sfaction ; and I look forward with confidence to the com pletion of that measure, under the direction of our gracious `frovereign and of the Imperial Parliament, as the means by b ll s.2 ie b the peace, h a ppi ness , an d good government of the inha ‘tauts of the Canadas will be permanently secured. Byre the Bill which you have pa , sed for the disposal of the odorad erves, you have, so far as your constitutional powers , 0 11 . 11 t, set at rest a question which for years past has convulsed co e lerY in this province. In framing that measure you have nsulted alik e t h e b est interest.% of religion and the future ` ‘. Pe ace and welfare o f th e p eo pl e fo r wh ose ser vic e y o u are called ._ l l l on to l eg i s l ate ; and I rely on your efforts provin successful, st withstanding an y attemp t which may be made to renew ex • aernent, or to raise opposition to your deliberate and recorded Judgment. . The are and attention which you have bestowed on these me subjects, and the calmness and dignity which have . 4 : 1 ! I ked your deliberations on them, cannot fail to give addi it* nal weight to your d , cisions before that tribunal to which 4, eY are now necessarily referred. -n,;` I have gi ven my assent , w i t h grea t sa tisf a ction, to different , which you have passed ; and 1 shall transmit, without de "tell others as, from their nature, it is my duty to reserve, I .s order that her Majesty's pie: sure may be signified thereupon. b " Amongst th e l atter i s a bill for the payment of Losses I the Rebellion or Invasion.' To this bill 1 should have been ready to assent, but as I observe that the House of Assembly have addressed her Majesty, praying that the losses may be Betrayed by the imperial treasury, I have considered it to be more for the interest of the parties concerned that the bill should be reserved, in order that the address may be considered by her Majesty's Government, before she provincial funds are finally charged with this payment. • " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,— " I thank -you for the readiness with which you have voted ue supplies for the public service. „ ".The de c i s i on to which you came respecting the future set tlement of the civil list. under the proposod union, rendered it impossible for me to submit to you any renewed proposal for the I , 3 ender , of , the,revenues of the Crown, in exchange for a pro ilsion for the expense of the Civil Government of this pro ; but in transmitting your resolutions to he:- Majesty's u vernment, I have not tailed to draw their attention to this subjeet.. s• I lament that the circumstances in which this province is placed, have necessarily prevented you from adopting measures by which its financial difficulties could be permanently removed; but this can only be effected when the obvious and easy means, of augmenting the revenue, through the Custom duties, with little comparative inconvenience to the people, shall be plac e d within your control. In the mean time it will be any anxious desire to use the powers with which you have entrusted the Executive Government, to relieve, as far as possible, the most pressing demands upon the public faith ; and I shall devote my self to the consideration and recommendation of measures by Which the credit of the province may be sustained, and its fu ture prospects improved. " Hon. Gentlemen and Gentlemen, " On your return to your different districts, I earnestly hope that it will be your endeavour to promote the spirit of harmony and conciliati on which has so much distinguished your pro ceedings here. Let past differences be forgotten—let imitat ing Suspicions be removed. I rejoice to find that already tran quillity and hopeful confidence in the future prevail throughout t he provi nce . L et i t b e your t as k t o c h er i s h and promote these feelings; it will be mine cordially to co-operate with you ; and b y administering the government, in obedience to the commands l!f the Queen, with justice and impartiality to all, to promote h er anxious wish that her Canadian subjects, loyal to their S overeign, and attached to British institutions, may, through Ene blessing of Divine Providence, become a happy, an united, and prosperous people."

EGYPT. t ,it letter from a correspondent of the Constitutionnel in 'l'ypt, whose information is derived from authentic sources, ! I v es a very detailed account of . the composition and the - to ount of the army of Mehemet Ali.

Not withstanding this enormous expense Mehemet Ali need ot fear that his treasury will be exhausted, for ever since 1821 !us revenue has increased in consequence of the progressive Improvement of commerce, and the extension of agrieulture.— L. Constitutionnel The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes a letter from 8ey 5'............................... rout of the 2lst ult., stating that the city of Damasnus had been thrown into the greatest agitation by the following oc currence :—Father Thomas°, the superior of the Spanish convent, and his servant, having left the monastery in the morning of the sth to vaccinate some children in the Jewish quarter, disappeared, and nobody could tell what had become of them. The consuls and local authorities had made most active researches, without being able to discover the trace of the missing. The cemeteries were searched, and the Consul of France promised a recompense to whoever should discover the bodies of the victims. The Governor-General, Scheriff Pasha, suspecting the Jews of having murdered them, caused a number of them to be arrested and tortur d in order to extort a confession from them, but hitherto to no purpose. Sixty-four Israelite children had been thrown into prison, and the authori ties expected through them to arrive at the truth of the mys terious deed. PARLIAMENTARY DI lISION.

Sir Thomas—Bucks MILITARY OUTRAGE AT WIGAN. The following are further particulars of the disturbance which took place last week at Wigan, in consequence of the riotous conduct of the military : On Friday Mr. Cash was brought before a full Bench of Magistrates, in the Moot-hall, under a charge of riot, assault, and rescue. Several witnesses were examined upon oath. Mr. Cash was committed to take his trial at the next Assizes. He was subsequently admitted to bail, himself in 3001. and two sureties in 1501. each. _ _ On Saturday Mr. Plunkett was taken into custody, and brought before a Bench of Magistrates, charged with having committed an assault on the person of Mrs. Burgoine, and with having aided and encouraged a riot on the part of the military, and with being one of those who favoured the rescue of the Hon. Adolphus Fraser, then a prisoner in the custody of a Sheriff's officer. Four witnesses were against the prisoner, whose testimony went to prove that he had for nearly two hours personated Mr. Fraser, in order to facilitate the escape of the latter from the hands of the civil power. That he had assaulted the landlady (if the Three Crowns, resisted the civil power, encouraged the rioting on the part of the soldiery, and by his presence aided and abetted in the rescue of Fraser while a prisoner. The examinations lasted several hours, after which the prisoner was committed to Kirkdale to take his trial at the Liverpool Assizes. He was, however, subsequently admitted to bail, himself in 200/. and two sureties in 100/. each. John Burgin, a private soldier, was also committed to take his trial at the same Assizes for riot and rescue. 1./0 lb. RAI" ••••. • Mr. Fraser is as yet at large. On Saturday evening word was brought to the borough that Fraser had been seen that morning in the neighbourhood of Bolton. The General com manding the troops of this district arrived here to-day, accom panied by others high in command. The proceedings conse quent upon their arrival remain a profound secret. As the depositions will be forwarded to the Home Depart ment and the Horse Guards, the public will probably learn in a few days how it is intended to deal with the parties implicated. POLITICAL SUMHARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Tunes of this morning thus characterizes Mr. Wal lace's motion la it night :—" Next came the unimportant, and as it was aptly called in the debate, the trumpery motion of the Member for Greenock, prop° ing an inquisition into the convi vial and other proceedings of the Glasgow University Peel Club, which r,rovoked, by its mere absurdity and intrusiveness, a smarter debate than subjects of real consequence are usually found to beget in the present House of Commons."—The Morning Herald, alluding to the question of the Corn-laws, ob serves:—" A mere Parliamentary majority in favour of the Corn.laws will be of little avail. There was, last year, a large majority against the free traders—yet the free traders are now more active and more formidable than ever ! This question will not now admit of being tampered with. The Anti- Corn law League must be put down—or the agricultural capital of the kingdom will be annihilated."—The Morning Chronicle, in a leading article on the subject of Church abuses, remarks as follows :—" The extension which the Church really wants is an extension of moral influence ; and this can neither be built up with bricks and mortar, nor realized from the proceeds of taxation. Nearly half the spiritual duty of the Church is done by deputy. The reci pients of its revenues pay the working clergy about thirty shil lings a week—rather low wages for a clever carpenter. The Morning Post observes, with reference to the Church of Scotland question :--" If ever there was a question in which it were a sin and a shame to be guide,l by mere party interests, this is one ; yet the more the conduct of the Government and of those who generally express Government opinions is looked into, the more certainly does it appear that they wish to use this question as they would any other popular squabble, merely with a view to turn votes in their own favour."—The Morning Advertiser expresses itself as follows on the subject of the Opium Trade :—" It has been asserted that the Opium Trade, being prohibited by the laws of China, it is unjust on the part of Great Britain to iLterfere in its protection. This argument might command attention if the laws of China were based on rational principles, or such as guide the conduct of other na tions ; but the Chinese laws are a mass of absurdities, exer cised by the most absolute of despotism:" , ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SrArpoRn, Mascn 16. James Owen, George Thomas, alias Dobell, and William Ellis, alias Lambert, were indicted for the wilful murder of Christina Collins, by drowning her at Rugeley, on the 17th of June, 1839. The evidonce given in support of this charge was for the greater part nearly the same as that given in support of the indictment for rape against the same prisoners at the last Assizes, of which they were acquitted. It appeared that the deceased, who was the wife of Robert Collins, was proceeding from Liverpool to London by one of Pickford's fly boats in order to join her husband. who had re cently obtained employment in London. She left Liverpool on Saturday, June 15. She was seen at noon the next day, Sunday, at Stoke-upon-Trent,w•here the boat remained four hours. Owen was the captain, Dobell and Lambeth, with a toy named Mus son, were the crew. Upon their arriving at Stone, at 8 o'clock the same evening, the woman complained to the canal clerk of the state 01 the crew, who were all intoxicated, particu larly Owen. She went on with them, however, and about 9 o'clock the boat was met by another on its way from Stone, to the captain of which Dobell used some gross expressions respecting the woman, saying he would serve her that night as Jemmy had served her, or they would burke her. About 12 o'clock at night the wife of the lockkeeper at Hoomill-lock, which is mine miles from Stone, was awoke by a cry of dis tress ; she rose, and going to the window, saw the boat in the lock with the woman on the top of the cabin crying. She was sitting with her legs over the side of the cabin, and the witness heard her say, Don't attemp', me ; I will not go down." In reply to witness's inquiry whom they had on board, one of the crew said she wasa passenger, and that her husband w-as with her. This was the last time she was seen alive by arty of the witnesses except the boy Musson. The boat, pror:eeding to London, passed through Colwichlock, three milts front Roomil-lock. Thence it came to a place called Bri ndley-bank, two miles from Colwich. At this place the canal takes a sharp turn to the left ; and it was about 100 yards on the London side of Brindle) , bank, and within three quarters •of a mile of Rugeley, that the body of the poor woman was after wards found. The ev idenee was gone into at considerable length, and the Jury, ?Lite r an hour's consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty against ait the prisoners. The Learned Judge immediately passed sentence of death upon t them. They heard it without evincing any emotion ; indeed„ throughout the trial all three, especially Owen, showed little sign of being affected either by the remembrance of their crime or the danger in which they stood. The. trial lasted eight hours, and excited deep interest. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

A Memorial to the Postmaster-General for a delivery of ;letters on Sundays, has been signed by all the Bankers 4of LONDON: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1841. There was again in the House of Lords last night some ebnversation as to the intentions of the Ministers touching a measure for healing the schism betwixt the Kirk and the State, but it was not in its results different from the conversation of the night before. The Go vernment has not yet decided that it. will bring forward any measure. The Earl of GALLOWAY who begun the conversation, and who has a sort of saintly reputation, expressed his regret at seeing that the Clergy of the Scotch Kirk resorted to the same unworthy means of agitation, by which the Roman Catholic Clergy had acquired so much notoriety and importance. What the Noble Earl regrets is common to all the priesthood, only the M‘GHEEs and the M'NEILES are not quite so successful as the CliaLmEasEs and the MactiALEs. The ground about the metropolis is not so favourable for priestly operations as the remote hills of Scotland, or the remote bogs of Ireland. Lord MONTEAGLE explained that the Exchequer Records which bad been late;y destroyed were only duplicates, and were formerly sold as waste paper. Lord REDESDALE thought it would have been better to sell than burn them. They would have been of use to cheesernongers. Several petitions were presented, but the Lords did not sit an hour. In the Commons, also , a considerable nu mber of pe titions were presented co ncernin g the C orn - laws, Church Exteasion, Non-intrusion, &c. &c. A petition for the repeal of the Corn-laws, presented by Mr. M. PHILLIPS, signed by 5,144 hand-loom weavers, is equal to about 500 petitions to retain them, which are, on an average, not signed by above ten persons each. A new writ was issued for Inverness. Mr. THORNELY, for Mr. VILLIERS, gave notice that he would, on the 31st instant, move that the House re. The 'Whigs, if they do not take care, will see themselves for Ced by the Tories to make a good libel law, or something equivalent to it. Last night Sir R. INGLIs presented a petition from the pro prietors of two Tory journals, praying that those persons who re-publish : Parliamentary papers may receive the same protection as the printers of the House of Commons. This is a reasonable prayer, and, as the Bill was originally drawn, it was doubt ful whether that protection were not extended to all persons who might print and publish papers authorised to be printed and published by Parlia ment. In the Committee the clause was, we be lieve, so altered as to exclude those who republish the reports from the same protection as those who publish them by order of the House. A more effectual scheme to make the privilege offensive could not have been devised. What is fit and proper for the House of Commons to publish is fit and proper for the Newspapers to re-publish. The only reason, in fact, on which the House of Commons clai ms the p rivile g e of publishing is to inform the people ; but its blue books, as Mr. LEADER formerly observed, and as Sir R. INGLIS last night repeated, scarcely or never reach the public, who get all their information from the transcripts of the Parliamentary reports published in the Newspapers. Why, then, as the Hon. Ba ronet asked, should not the re-publication of Par liamentary reports in Newspapers be protected, when they are, in fact, the means of conveying to the public the information which Parliament wishes to communicate ? To protect the printers of the House of Commons, and not to protect the News papers for re-publishing Parliamentary reports, will justify the accusation of the opponentsot the Reformed House that it insists on the privilege for purposes of tyranny, not to promote the public welfare. If the latter be the object, the House must protect th e pub lication of all Parliamentary documents by the daily and weekly journals. This is indispensable; the Whigs Dave now an opportunity of COO feirina a great benefit on the public press ; and we hope they have sagacity ~cough not to leave such a prac-L:ann pelling work to the Tories. A public meeting of the friends of religious freedom is to be held to-morrow at Freemasons' Hall, to peti tion Parliament against any more grants out of the public purse to prop up that decaying fabric, falsely called the national Church. We are extremely glad of this, for never was there a time when active measures on the part of those who are be yond the pale of the Church of England, were more imperatively called for. The apathy of the Dis senters has encouraged and emboldened the hierarchy and its supporters, until their arrogance knows no bounds. The education of the whole nation must, for sooth, be committed to the individual charge of the priests of one sect—that sect, too, constituting a minority of the people. On the back of this impudent demand comes another, if possible, more extrava gant still. The richest and least efficient Church in Christendom cannot get on without more money. Like the hungry daughter of the horselcech, it is con tinually crying " Give, give," as if increase of appetite grew by what it fed on. It unblushingly calls upon all other sects to minister to its pomps and vanities, and to pour their money without stint into its insatiable maw. In money is its whole trust. Money is the god of its idolatry. To oppose this avaricious desire to clutch the na tional funds, the Dissenters have as yet done nothing, or next to nothing. While the Church, with a recruit ing officer in every parish, has been getting up meetings and petitions without end, and keeping up an imposing clamour both in and out of Parliament,to attain its object, Dissent has been, if not asleep, looking on with apparent indifference. Scarcely a counter-petition has found its way to the House of Commons ; not a public meeting is on record. Is it wonderful that under these circum stances, the partizans of the law church talk so confi dently of obtaining from Parliament additional endow ments. What other construction than that of acquies cence can they put upon the silence and indifference of the Dissenters, on questions so important as those which are now at issue between the two parties ? A "reaction"Lwe would hope is now commencing. The Dissenters are awaking from the lethargy which has, for some time past, steeped their senses ia forgetful ness. It augurs well for the success of the cause, when even the Religious Freedom Society has found itself compelled to step forward and originate a public meeting, though we could have wished that the Tory practice of issuing tickets of admission had not been re sorted to. We trust the meeting will be numerously at tended, and that it will be followed by many others for the same purpose throughout the kingdom. The Madrid Papers received are of the 9th instant. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the Bth, a violent debate arose on the verification of the return of Count TOREN°, of stock jobbing, state-plundering notoriety. General SAN MIGUEL branded the Count to his face as an impure character, and known as such not only in Spain but throughout Europe. Senor LABORDA stated that the Count was under a sentence of impeach ment for peculation by a vote of a former Chamber ; and he called upon him, if he had a spark of honour left, to defend himself. Senor OLozaGA was equally energetic, but to verb little effect. ToRENo hardly condescended to deny in general terms the allegations made against him ; but the Ministers, sure of his support, verified his election by 96 votes against 23. The accession of M. TmEas to office produced a rise in Spanish Steck. The Five per Cents were in active demand at 28 for cash, and 291 for sixty days. Among Other official documents recently received from China, and which were regularly published in our columns, was a protest from the American merchants and traders at Canton, denying the right of England to blockade that coast, and threatening to hold Great Britain responsible for all losses and damages sustained by them in consequence of such blockade. Now as the blockade then declared by Superintendent ELLIOT Was raised in five days—as it was declared under an impres sion which proved to be eroneous, namely, the murder of a British boat's crew by the Chinese—and as it was declared without a sufficient naval strength to enforce it, we allowed the protest of the American merchants to appear without a syllable of comment. We might indeed have very fairly adopted a less cour teous course. In the protest not a syllable was men tioned of the objections—the legal objections we admit —to the blockade, which we have offered. The Ame rican merchants did not state that the grounds then alleged for so extreme a proceeding were insufficient— or that a blockade without the power stringently to enforce it, was a violation of the law of nations. They simply denied our right to have recourse to such a measure at all, and they threatened us, in the event of seeking to establish such a right, with consequences which must be productive of war between Great Britain and the United States. Nonsensical as this course m,est appear to all acquainted with the rights of independent states, and inconsistent' as it really is with the passiveness of the Americans re- i specting the French blockades of Mexico and Buenos Ayres, the following resolutions adopted by Congress on the motion of Mr. PlCKENS—copied from the New York Papers received this morning—indicate a dispo sition on the part of sonic members of that as sembly to adopt both the logic and the style of the Canton protest. The resolutions themselves are very proper, so far as they go; but if we are correctly informed they are to be followed by others of a very different character. No such jea lousy was manifested respecting the rights of American traders to Mexico during the French blockade of that coast ; but then France had no frontier open to inva sion, and therefore did not court Republican aggression. The blockade of Buenos Ayres still continues, but there is no American Legislator patriotic enough to inquire into the losses which the Republic sustains by it, or so much as by a whisper to question its legality. The following are the Resolutions ; they were agreed to unanimously : ‘. Resolved,—That the President of the United States be requested (if in his opinion it be not incompatible with the public interest to do so) to communicate to this house any information in his possession res?ecting the condition of the citizens of the United States doing business during the past year in China; the state of the American trade with that country, and the interests of the people and cora, merce of the United States, as affected by the recent mea sures of the Chinese Goveinment for the suppression of the contraband or forcible introduction of opium into China ; also, whether the British Government has given notice to that of the United States of a purpose to blockade the port of China, or of other hostile intentions towards that Govern ment ; and any other information passed by the Executive in relation to the above matters. " Resolved,—That the Secretary to the Treasury be directed to transmit to this House a statement of the com merce and navigation between the United States and China from 1824 to 1839 inclusive, exhibiting for each year the amount of specie, the value and description of manufactured articles, the value and description of other merchandize, and the total amount exported; the quantity and value of teas, the value of silk goods, the value of other merchan dize, and the total amount imported ; the number of ships, the amount of tonnage, and the number of seamen em ployed." There is not a syllable of news of any interest in the Paris Journals of Monday, with the exception of the annexed extracts, and some intelligence from the East, which will be found in another part of The Sun : _ _ VIENNA, MA Reit 7.—Mr. Von Hoste, the Brazilian Am bassador, is still here, his application for leave to engage 500 men in the Austrian States, from the Brazilian service, has been refused, end he will consequently go to Switzerland. His Majesty, the Emperor, has authorized Baron Von Daiser Syl bach, his Charge d'Affaires at Rio, to act in his name as god father in the confirmation of the Emperor of Brazils. Prince Wendeschgrate, General in Chief in Bohemia, has lost his action for the restitution of the estates of the family of Waldstein ( Wallinstein). The question has been decided by arbitrators chosen in equal numbers by both parties. The par ties are said to have agreed before to abide by the decision of the umpires, so that the Prince cannot appeal. He has reason to repent the prosecution of this suit, as the late Emperor offered him 200,000 florins, and the present Emperor 600,000 florins. We learn by the jaurnils of Texas, of the month of January that the treaty with France has been ratified. SPA IN. The Eco del Aragon of the lOtii of March, gives news from Muniesa of the Bth. It was believed that the general head quarters would set out on the following day for Arragon. "It is believed," says the Memorial des Pgrennees," that Espartero has formed the following plan for the next campaign, —His army will in the first place lay siege to Castellote and Aliaga, the capture of which has been falsely announced ; then the troops will proceed to attack Cantavieja. When that place shall be taken, the whole army will proceed in two co lumns to invest Morella, and when this impro;nable Alcazar of Cabrera has fallen into the hands of the Queen's troops, the General-in-chief will put himself at the head of his 40 batta lions to go and destroy the last rampart of the Carlists, in the mountains of Catalonia."

The County Constabulary Act Amendment Bill was presented and read a first time. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT is to propose, in Committee on the Bill, that one half of the expense be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. The landed gentlemen first degrade, impoverish, and demoralize the people, and then tax them to keep the serfs they have &graded in obedience and thraldom. Mr. CRA FOLD is to bring the Opium Question under the notice of the House on the 24th inst. On the 19th, Lord MoaPETH is to ask leave to bring in a Bill to prevent mendicancy in Ireland, an Herculean task ; and Lord JOHN RUSSELL 19, on Mon day next, to lay the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill on the table, and on the same day to move for leave to bring in a Bill to re-unite the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. _ Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN stated that the illness of the Duke of WELLINGTON had prevented the Report of the Military Commission from being laid on the table ; and he did not know whether the Commission would assemble again or not Lord JOHN RUSSELL announced that he meant to give up the Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill for another, which was more likely to meet the views of the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY. How dare the Tory Journals say that the Whigs do not consult the wishes of the Bishops and the ease of the Church ? The Report of the Printed Papers Bill was brought up. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN moved to add a proviso, that any person should be discharged from custody whose action at law was put an end to by the Lord JOHN RUSSELL resisted the motion, as an in vasion of the privileges of the House, which the Bill professed not to touch. It was negatived, and the Report received. The Mutiny Bills were committed. Mr. WALLACE brought forward a motion, which ap pears to us to have for its real object to inquire into the political conduct, and political sentiments, of the Pro fessors and youth cf the Glasgow University. It was for the names of the Professors and students of the University of Glasgow who are now members of the Peel Club. With great respect for Mr. IV ALLAcE, we must condemn such a motion, and hope to see nothing of the kind repeated. After a not unamusing debate, for which we refer to our report, Mr. WALLACE withdrew his motion. Some despatches relative to the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly of the lonian Islands were ordered, on the motion of Lord C. FITZROY. Mr. WAKLEY obta!ned a Committee to inquire into any measures which have been adopted for carrying into effect the I st of Vic.. c. 68, concerning the payment of Coroners, after a division, 31 voting for, and 17 against the motion. The Hot,. Member wished to confine the inquiry to the county of Middlesex, but, to meet the views of others, extended it to all counties. The Tithe Ccmmutation Act Amendment Bill was re-committed. The ilous:, adjourned before o'Cloek. Mr. LEADER asked last night in the House of Commons, by whose permission the Chief Justice of Upper Canada was allowed to be absent from his post for one year and a half; by whom his duties were performed ; and whether his salary continued to be paid ? To these questions Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered, that successive Colo nial Secretaries had allowed this gentleman to be absent ; that in the mean time the other Judges performed his duties ; and that, like other official persons, the Chief Justice receives, Lord JOHN RUSSELL supposes, half his salary. The sinecure half-pay Judge has intimated to the Colonial Office that he will be ready to return to his duty about the middle of April. In the mean time he writes and publishes pamphlets here, to embroil those affairs he is no longer allowed to embroil in Canada. Mr. Jon 1-1 BEVERLY RourNsoN has the re putation of being a shrewd, long-headed man, who shines more as a politician than a judge. Report says that the principal object of his long sojourn in England is to make the Tortes perfectly masters of the views of the Canadian Tories. He is in close league with Lord LYNDHURST, and that long-headed, shrewd lawyer, equally distinguished as a politician, will no doubt profit by Mr. Ro• ruNsoN's instructions to do all the mischief he can. Already the plot is hatched. Mr. ROBINSON has announced it. The new character of Obstructives assumed by the Conservatives, is to be acted up to. In alliance with the habitans, the union of the two provinces is to be opposed. It might strengthen the popular party, and add to the reputation of the Whigs. Plausible arguments, so say the Tories, are al leged by the Chief Justice why the union should not take place without further inquiry, and those arguments will be most plausibly set forth by the Tory law Lord—who has. already clone a great deal of mischief to this very Colony—to set aside the Whig plan for the settlement of the unhappy differences in Canada. It has been the misfortune of the Whigs, ever since they came into office, to be obliged to work with Tory tools. Their subordinates have continually led them wrong, and continually thwarted their best laid plans. All will, however, go smoothly for the corruptionists—for sincecure judges who impose their duties on other men, the national policy will be perfect and be well-ex ecute d , w h enever the Whigs, never mind by what artifices, can be turned out of office. We learn from Mr. Chief Justice RosmsoN's own pamphlet, that he has been one of the advi sers of the successive Governors of Upper Canada for twenty 'ears. When Lord DURHAM went thither, he objected to see, like his predecessors, with Mr. Justice RoßlNsoN's eyes. He examined for himself, or by means of gentlemen he took with him from England, and obstinately refused to look only through the spectacles of the family compact. One great object, therefore;of the Chief Justice,in his pamphlet, is to throw discredit on Lord DURHAM'S Report. As the Noble Lord did not ask his ad vice, the Chief Justice sneers at the authority on which Lord DURHAM'S Report was founded. One great and important element, however, of a sound judgment, the Chief Justice has overlooked. Lord DURHAM had no sinister interest to serve. Can Mr. BEVERLY ROBINSON say as much ? If the two Canadas were united, and if, as Lord DURHAM recommended, the Executive Government were to be made responsible to the people of Canada, would the Chief Justice be allowed to remain for eighteen months out of the land ? Would a few aristo cratic chiefs, by the aid of the aristocratic Govern ment at home, then be able to domineer over the mass of the Canadians ? We believe not ; and the union of the provinces, which the Chief Justice opposes, would be the extinction of the family com pany. Inasmuch as a wily man,with perfect knowledge of facts, having an interest to deceive us, is less to be trusted, and more dangerous, than a sincere man with little knowledge and a strong interest in lead ing us right, we prefer the recommendations of JOHN, Earl of DURHAM, to the suggestions of Mr. JOHN BEVERLY ROBINSON.

No such meeting is to take place. The Countess of Jerse)'s ball, to night, is ex pected to be the most brilliant given this season. The invita tions are particularly numerous, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta of Cambrid.e intend to honour the ball with their presents. [ADVERTISEMENT.] (Co.) TO THE EDITOR O F I'HE STANDARD. SIR—In the Leading Article of this evening's Standard is the following passage, the first sentence indicating the law, the second specifying the equity of the Standard:— "Though not holding ourselves responsible for adver tisements generally, there is a line which, even in that de partment of our business, we will not knowingly pass. We will not publish lies and forgeries, even as advertisements, when we know them to be lies and forgeries." Sir, in July last I took an advertisement, upon a matter of business, to the office of the Standard. A proprietor of that journal declined to admit it, because it stated a fact not complimentary to the Times. Not considering a pro prietor a it person to decide upon what should, or should not, be admitted, I desired that the letter for advertisement should be given to the Editor; and stated that, as there was nothing objectionable in the letter (similar letters to upon the same fact, had been admitted by the Morn ing Chronicle, the Morning Herald, the Morning Auver tiser, the Morning Post, the Globe, the Courier, and the . Sun) I was quite willing to abide by the jus of the Editor's decision. The proprietor remarked that he knew the Editor of the Standard too well to suppose that he vto ald admit anything against the Times. I, however, per sisted in having the letter referred to the proper authority; and the Editor of the Standard wrote, on the back of the letter, " I think that this ought not to be inserted." i Knowing that there was no thi ng o bjectionable n the letter, knowing that the fact of advertising exonerated an Editor from participating in the substance of a writing, and supposing that a public Journal was a public vehicle of communication, I observed to the office clerk that, as the editor only thought, I should wish to advertise the letter, but was t hen given to understand that it was merely the excessive politeness of the editor, who worded his re fusals in the pensive style. I was elsewhere referred to the columns of the Standard to find out the reverential awe with which the Standard looked up to the Times, and to the columns of the Times to discover that the 7'imes could (to occasion or order) prove the unsophisticated address of that part of London which is famous for the freshest oys ters, and the most free language, to be not altogether con fined to the realms below bridge. Sir, as the proprietor of the Standard had refused an advertisement, because it reflected upon the misconduct of the Times, I concluded (from that, as well as from the proprietor's alleged foreknowledge of the result) that the Editor's refusal was grounded upon a similar motive. From this evening's Standard it is gratifying to learn that the Editor, in the advertising " department of business," acts upon the golden rule of doing as he would be done by ; and, " though not responsible for advertisements gene rally," is sometimes actuated by principles of tire strictest impartiality, and by a regard for the interests of truth and justice, more than by any love, or fear, of the Times. Sir, I have the honour to be your obedient servant, March 14,1840. G, D. LOWNDF.S.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL. COTTON MAR&ET, TOESDAY._The sales to day are 2,000 bags, no change in prices. The letters by the New York packet, England, have not as yet been received. We have received New York Papers to the 23d Feb., by the packet ship England arrived at Liverpool. MONEY MARKET.—This is a packet day, but the opera tions in exchange on England have been email. The sales have been 108 k, and for Southern I to 1 per cent. less. The packets were detained on account of the Great Western till to-morrow. The news from Liverpool is to the 4th, and had most favourable influence in Wall street. There has been great excitement in Wall-street to-day in relation to the Manhattan Bank ; a large amount of stock was thrown into the market by Prime, Ward, and Henry, and rold at about 80 per cent.—such an uLexpected amount from that source created quite a panic, and only 70 per cent. was offered for the stock at the closing of the Board. The fall in this stock in the past few days has been 30 per cent., a decline almost unprecedented. STArs OF TRADE.—The different markets sbow a fresh amount of business doing, almost altogether fur city trade. We have been so long without news from England that some anxiety prevailed here ; at the South there are some appearances of renewed activity—at New Orleans, on the 3d inst. increased supplies of Western produce had caused a decline in the price of those articles. In dry goods time is every prospect of a further fall in prices, nd every description of produce is falling ; the in terior 6 full of it. Cotton—This market has continued very steady during the mast week, the art ivals have been rather larger than for a few seeks previous, but the Sock is stilt very small. In the southern parts, the downward tendency continues; atelrrleston the late English news has operated to cause a decline ; at Savannah, a rise in the river increased the surlies ; at Mobile a great anxiety to sell exists ; and a rise in the rivers would cause a great decline ; at Augusta the decline was caused by the great disposition to sell evinced by the planters at New Orleans ; the receipt of the news from England to the 16tb December checked opera ; tions.

Film—The American papers received this morning state that a large fire was raging with great violence at Colombia (Pa.) when the Caro left for Philadelphia.

THE TYRIA N.—FURTHER PARTICULARS. —ANOTHER BODY FOUND.—At low water on Sunday night, further efforts were made to get the three remaining bodies of the unfortunate persons who met with a watery grave in the barque Tyrian, which was sunk about six weeks ago off Graves end, through her bows being stove in by the Manchester steam- , s hi p . Th e bodies of Mr. Sheen and a youth named Mason, were secured on Friday evening. On Sunday the tide ebbed sufficiently low to enable the crew of the ill-fated vessel to extricate the body of a young man, about eighteen years of age, supposed to be one ot the apprentices, but whose name our leporter was unable to learn. The body was. ern bedded in mud and sand, up to the arm-pits; the head and arms being alone visible. With great difficulty it was drawn out. In addition to recovering the body of the young man, they sues ceeded in getting a number of articles out ot the after-cabin; amongst the rest the captain's desk and papers, with a chrono meter. Mr. Sheen's cash-box, and several chests of clothes bekmgine to the crew of the Tyrian. No portion of the cargo has yet been touched. At low-water, un Monday morning, the wreck was dragged further in shore, and more property got out ; but they were not able to secure the two bodies, there being upwards of three feet of water above the breach in her bows. In the course of Monday a Government lighter arrived from Woolwich, for the purpose of taking out her stores and provisions, most of which were supplied from her Majesty's victualling department, at Deptford. It is generally supposed that this morning's ebb will place the Tyrian high and dry on the Essex shore. The bodies which have already been recovered have undergone a rapid change since they have been out of the water; so much so, that it is now quite impossible to distinguish their features. The melancholy catastrophe has excited the deepest interest, and hundreds of persons flock to Gravesend daily to witness the wrack, and gain the latest inkr mation relative to the unfortunate affair. The summoning officer of Gravesend was engaged the whole of yesterday in giving notice to the numerous witnesses, and the proceedings of the inquest are looked tor with the utmost anxiety.—Laxess PARTICULARS.—At low water, on Monday evening, the Ty rian was dragged further into the shore off Grays, and one of the two remaining bodies got out—namely, that of a youth named Walker, one of the apprentices. Like the others, he was taken from the forecastle, and had only his shirt, drawers, and stockings on. lie appeared to be about 14 years of age. There was an extensive bruise on the back, which is supposed to have been caused by his being struck with a coil of chain being forced down the hatchway when the water rushed is after the vessel was struck. The body, which was more de composed than any of the others, was taken ashore at Grays and placed in a shell. The only body now remaininit the wreck that of a young man, named William Le 21 years of age, who f-rmed one or the unfortunate *rot of the Tyrian. His body is in the chain-locker, ander the forecastle, which is quite filled with mad and sands it will, therefore, be impossible to get it out until the ship is placed in a dry duck, which will be acco m pli s h e d i n the course of the week. The Coroner for Kent lav ing declined holding the inquest, oa the ground that the bodies were not found in that county, they were yesterday to.. moved from Gravesend to Grays, where the inquest will be commenced this day before Mr. Lewis, the Essex coroner. The Duke of Manchester steamer, by which the Tyrian was stove in, is now lying at Berwick, mad the Rapid, a steam ship belonging to the same company, runs in her place. It is re ported that the Government authorities have put the broad arrow on the Manchester, and have taken steps to prevent her running until the result of the forthcoming inquiry is known, Both parties are actively engaged in collecting evidence rela tive to the unfortunate occurrence. It is the intention of the steam-boat company to summon the sentinel who was on guard at Tilbury Fort at the time the Tyrian was struck, who, it is said, heard the captain of the Manchester call to the man at the wheel, to port the helm hard a starboard," before the acci dent, and the answer of the man was that the helm would not obey. An order was then given to stop the engines, but be fore this could be done the crash too k place. Th e most rigid investigation of the whole of the circumstances bearing upon theunfortunatepla m ee rne at nee the t r is q d u a T a w t h u ic rays. hwill, as h ssbeen alreadyaffair mentioned, will take co h Z i it; h AL. —Last Wednesday h has S UICID E OF n T i a HUN.

Informa tion of the melancholy occurrence was on Thursday forwarded to Mr. Charsley, of Beaconsfield, the Coroner for East Backs, who immediately issued his warrant for an inquest that day. The inquest was held in the establishment, and some idea of the secrecy observed may be formed from the villagers being unaware of the melancholy occurrence until they were sum moned on the Jury, said then only the .Jurymen were aware at it.
