THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES THE PRINCE AND Famine os Carus.—Letters from Malta, just received by the overland mail announce the arrival at that island on the sth March, from Naples, of the Commendatore Stahly, ome of the secretaries of the royal household of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, accompanied by the Cavalier Agresti, the procurator-general of the Supreme Tribunal of the Kingdom, specially dispatched by his Majesty with over tures a reconciliation to his royal brother Francesco Bor bone, Prince of Capua and Count of Mascali. These royal commissioners lost no time in seeking an interview with the Prince, but from their not having availed themselves of a banker's eredit, which one of the parties had on Malta to a 'Very considerable amount, it is very generally rumoured that the terms offered were not such as his royal highness with any degree of delicacy or respect to the Princess could pos zuV accept. It is stated, that although a very liberal pro vision is offered to be made, not only for the Prince and Princess, but likewise for any children they may have, a re sidence within th e li m i ts o f t h e ki ng d om i s strictly forbidden, , and indeed that the Princess cannot be recognised by any such title, and moreover, that the children shall be barred from right of succession to the throne. The commissioners left Malta, on their return to Naples, on the 14th of March. During their sojo urn they were hospit a bly l o d ge d and entertained by the C he v alier Ramirez, the Neap o lit an consul, lately decorated with the insignia and order of San Francisco. Tnirou.—Letters from Tripoli, just received, an nounce the death on the 27th o ebreary, after only four surgeon of the days Hines:, of Dr. John Dickson, a halt- t p a y t thirty years a resi dentextent of his British nary, who had been upwards of that the calamity,mourqul dent at Tripoli, and where, such gratuitous attendance on the indig en t, tollint cannot but be looked upon as a great e• as it did at tee very instant the first and, haplY i„, gun an nounced tie anniversary of the birth of the Prophet, not a few of thj Kahomedens regard the event with a supersti tious awe. Oa Cie Ist of March the remains of the lamented deceased wire interred in the Protestant cemetery, which is distant about two miles from the town, escorted by a military guard of honour, sent by order of his Excellency the Pacha, and followed, not only by every foreign consul, but by all the European residents of every class, and by several, thou sands of Jews and Mahomedans, and so anxious were many whom he had attended professionally to pay this last tribute of respect to his memory; that they actually rose from their beds of sickness and joined the mournful procession, which, Ifrhilst it passed along the crowded streets, heard the shrieks and cries of the natives bewailing his death issuing from the miserable hovels which he had been wont to enter to prescribe let suffering humanity. He has left a widow and large faranr to deplore his loss. In 3 vols., post Bvo., MR.

In reply to the letter of King OTHo, the SULTAN desires that the settlement of the differences may be left to the two Cabinets; and the Turkish Minister insists that COLETTI shall apologise to M. MUSSUEUS. Madrid papers of the 16th have arrived. The Senate have authorised the Ministry to try General SERRANO for insubordination. The measure was opposed by Senor LUZUBIAGA, and General CONCHA refused to vote. The QUEEN had sent for Senor PACHECO, and requested him to form an Administration, but he had refused to do so. • Nothing shows more completely the subjection of the unfortunate QUEEN to the tyranny of the French Government than the present Ministerial crisis. She is anxious above all things to free herself from the French yoke, and as a first step would fain get rid of her present Afrancesado Ministry. Her MAJESTY wishes to appoint General SEExANO Prime Minister, and immediately the Afrancesado Cabinet attempt to banish him to Navarre, by making him Captain- General of the province. Her MAJESTY refuses to sign the decree, and the Ministers threaten to resign. The QUEEN would be but too happy to accept their resignation ; but, after a visit to the French Embassy, a change comes over the Duke of SOTOMATOR and his colleagues. They will not resign. They appoint SERRANO Inspector of Troops in Navarre, and on his refusing to accept the appointment bring him to trial for insubordination; and, backed by French influence, set the QUEEN at defiance, who cannot (such is the degraded state to which LOUIS PHILIPPE has by his intrigues reduced Spanish statesmen) get any any one to brave the vengeance of an unprincipled and anti-national faction by countersigning their dismissal. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 16.—The Three per Cents. were done at 301 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 19i ; the Debt without interest at 54 ; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Minister of the Interior made on Saturday a most important communication to the Municipal Council of Paris. He informed them the Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD had appropriated 5,000,000 f. (200,0001. sterling) to the purchase of corn and flour for the supply of the inhabitants of Paris. The corn and flour is to be purchased in foreign countries, and sold in Paris at the prices of the day. Should there be any loss on the transaction, such loss will be borne by the Baron ROTHSCHILD,—shouId there be profit, such profit to be devoted to the purchase of bread, to be distributed gratuitously among the poor of Paris. This will give Paris thirty-five days' consumption in addition to the eighty days' consumption already in store. But while Paris is thus amply provided for, the provinces are suffering. Outrages of a very serious character have taken place in the department of the Loiret, and notwithstanding the presence of large bodies of troops, plunder has taken place to a considerable extent. On one occasion a detachment of 50 Infantry and 25 Hussars were so hemmed in by the people as to be incapable of moving. While they were thus put hors de combat, boat loads of grain were carried off by the peasantry. The following letter, dated St. Maio, March 17, is published in the Journal des Debuts : "A scene of confusion, occasioned by the imprudence of the British Consul, Mr. Thompson, took place at our last corn market. A sack of flour of 50 kilogrammes, offered at first for sale at 32 francs, having been subsequently bought by Mr. Thompson for 35 francs, a mob immediately congregated and cried, Down with the Englishman ! Down with the forestaller 1' gendarmes on duty immediately re paired to his assistance, and invited him to retire from the market, where the peoplq were becoming rather riotous. Mr. Thompson, who scarcely understands French, followed the gendarmes, and requested them to come to his house to explain the affair to his family. There he felt the impru dence he had committed, and expressed the regret he ex perienced. The prices subsequently declined in the mar ket, and a few hours afterwards the same sack of flour sold for 26E" The IVforme mentions a trifling fall of 18 cen times in the price of flour in the Paris market on Sa turday. The transactions were calm and the sales difficult. The price of the sack of flour of 157 kilo grammes continued from 117 f. to 125 f., according to the quality. Mademoiselle MARS, the greatest of French ac tresses, died on Saturday. She was in her 69th year, having been born on the 19th Dec., 1778. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 79f. 7ie., after having been at 79f. 15e.

Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston have issued cards for a grand entertainment on Saturday next to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Lord Brougham intends to leave town early in the ensuing week for Paris, to pass the Easter recess in that capital. THE COLONIAL Brsuoraxcs.—lt has been defini tively settled by the Committee for the Management of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund, that the present diocese of Aus tralia shall be divided into three separate sees ; the central portion being superintended by the Right Rev. Dr. Brough ton, now Bishop of Australia, but whose title will henceforth be Bishop of Sidney. The district of Port Philip -it is in tended shall also form a separate see, under the name of the Bishopric of Melbourne. To this diocese the Reverend Charles Perry. ALA., of Trinity College, has been appointed. Out of the northern coast of New South Wales another diocese, with a name to be derived from one of the principal settlements (Newcastle or Maitland probably) will be formed. The colony of South Australia is also forthwith to be erected into a new diocese, and its first Bishop will be the Rev. Augustus Short, M.A., of Christ Church, Oxford, now rector of Ravensthorpe, Northamptonshire. So soon as the Colo nial Bishoprics Fund shall admit, the Cape of Good Hope and Sierra Leone, with other places, will be constituted se parate sees. PRESENTATION OF COLOURS. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 22.—Her Majesty's 43d Regiment, of which Lieu. tenant-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.8., is colonel, were presented with new colours this afternoon, on Southsea Common, by the Hon. Lady Pakenham. The colours were consecrated by the Rev. Mr. Madden, who was some years since an officer in the regiment, and wounded in it. The usual addresses were made on this occasion, but in stead of the general practice of the officers giving an expen sive ball and supper to their friends, they subscribed a con siderable sum of money, and gave all their soldiers and their wives and children a good dinner, with plenty of pudding and beer, and to each of the sergeants the addition of a bottle of wine. Lieutenant- General Sir H. Pakenham will resign the lieutenant• governorship of this garrison and the com mand of the south-western district to Major-General Lord Fitaclarence early in the ensuing month. THE COUNTY COURTS.—The District County Court of Westminster, which includes the inhabitants west of Temple-bar and Holborn-bars, south of Oxford-street. to Bayswater, across Hyde-park to Sloane-street, and from thence to the river by Chelsea Hospital, was opened (at pre sent in Castle-street, Leicester-square) on Wednesday last, and will be open every day (Sundays excepted) between the hours of 10 o'clock and 4. In this court and the other county courts just established, all actions for debt or damage under 201., that is for moneys owing or matters of contract; all cases of assault or injury to the person or goods in which the damages claimed do not exceed 20/. ; all matters in dispute between masters and servants, or masters and workmen, under 201., may be tried and disposed of in less than 14 days. A debt of 20/, may be recovered for less than 2L, which the defendant would have to pay with the debt, and smaller amounts at a proportionately less expense if parties attend in person. The great advantage of these courts to the public over the old system will be the expeditious mode in which business will be disposed of, the small amount of expense attending the proceedings, and that persons may see to their own business (if so disposed) instead of employing at torneys or agents at a great expense, and often incurring, from negligence or dishonesty, the ultimate loss of their m oney. The evils thus counteracted had got to such a head that parties frequently rather consider their debts under 20/. as bad debts than go to law with the forlorn hope of reco vering them. THE THEATRE AND THE Currics.—A Berlin cor respondent of the Leipsic Gazette gives an amusing instance of misunderstanding between a theatrical manager and the critics. Kustner, the manager, for some offence, withdrew several free tickets from the litterateurs. No sooner had he done this, however, than he began to dread the consequences. To make himself secure he has addressed a note to the critics, threatening that if they make any further attacks upon him he will resort to the severest mode of punishment —he will publish the mercenary letters he has received.

THE LORD R ECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.—We regret to learn that our city and University are not to be honoured, during the approaching adjournment of Parliament for the Easter holidays, by a visit from Lord I John Russell, the newly elected Lord Rector of the Uni versity. His Lordship has 2, we are informed, acquainted the authorities of the University, that in consequence of the pressure of public business, he will not be able to visit Glas gow until the conclusion of the session ; and we understand the present arrangement to be, that the installation will take place on the Ist of November nest.—Glasgow Argus. GLASGOW Pm IRON TRADE. —The trade has par taken of the general depression, and prices must be quoted a shade lower; there are, however, few makers disposed to do business just now, and the few transactions that have taken place this week have been among dealers only.

GLASGOW COTTON MARKET.—The dullness in the cotton market which we have before noticed still continues, and prices of American and Surat have given way per lb. since this day week.

The intelligence which has reached us by the Overland Mail from India presents us with nothing of stirring interest. Here and there we have ac counts of isolated outbreaks and skirmishes, happily of so insignificant a character as to be unworthy of notice. For these occasional miniature disturbances, all who are conversant with the heterogeneous mate rials of which the social fabric of the vast Eastern Peninsula is composed must be pre pared. It is, however, gratifying to collect from the latest intelligence that, in the main, general tranquillity prevails wherever British rule is established, as well as that, beyond the frontiers of our dominion, there is nothing which menaces the maintenance of peace. The state of the Punjaub continues to correspond to the anticipations which we long since entertained. British valour having triumphantly subdued the warlike, but rapacious and unpatriotic soldiery, which held that province under an odious military subjection, the people now regard the influence we have gained with the utmost satis faction, and expect from its continuance the enjoyment of prosperity which, but for our successful intervention, they might have sighed after in vain; and as the MAHARAJA will not attain his majority for eight years, there is little doubt that the interim will effec tually serve to strengthen the bonds of attachment between the population and the British supremacy. Raja BALL SINGH has been removed to the fort of Agra, and the RANEE is said to be no longer incon solable for the loss of her paramour. The military reductions, to the importance of which we drew the attention of our readers a month since, as affording the strongest presumption that the Governor- General has the fullest confidence in the continued ces sation of hostilities, are satisfactorily progressing. Upon the receipt of the order for diminishing the number of troops in Sinde to the strength of an ordinary garrison of a frontier province, Sir CHARLES NAPIER issued a general order from his head quarters at Kurrachee, in which he reminded the troops, in the inspiriting language peculiar to the pen of a NAPIER, of the important military and commer cial objects which were secured by the conquest of that province, and honourably paid the tribute of his admiration to the fidelity and prowess of the troops, and also to the abilities of those connected with the civil service, 11'y whose conjoined exertions such brilliant successes had been achieved. To Sir C. NAPIER himself, to his undaunted valour in the first instance, and to his energetic adminis tration in the next, will posterity accord the largest share of their admiration for " the glory of freeing an enslaved country by a necessary conquest," for the security we have obtained for our north-west frontier, for the command we hold over the navigation of the Indus, and for the openings we have acquired to an extensive range of commerce which will assuredly be prosecuted by the enterprising spirit of Bri tish merchants on the five rivers irrigating the Punjaub. " Courage," writes Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " may win a battle, but it is some thing more than courageous when a victorious army turns a conquered people into friends and peaceable subjects ! " Such is the happy sketch of Sinde, and the inappreciable consequences, military and com mercial, attendant upon its conquest, which the General gave to his army on the eve of its being broken up. Considering how short a period has elapsed since the termination of the campaign of Meanee and Hyderabad on the one hand, and that on the Sutlej on the other, the knowledge we already possess of the fruits of our victories is gratifying in the extreme. Esto perpetua. During the discussion which took place last even ing upon the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, the conduct of Government in diminishing the distribution of food to the destitute peasantry was severely criticised. Now, we submit it to any dispassionate man, whether the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, or the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Shrewsbury, are justified in attributing the awful mortality which has recently resulted from starvation to the inactivity or the par simony of the Executive ? They argue that, because the amount of meal distributed by Government in November and December was less by the enormous quantity of 22,618,068 lbs. than that distributed during the preceding June and July, when the system of the foregoing Administration was still in operation, the Ministry must necessarily be liable to the im putation of penuriousness as compared with the former Cabinet. Plainly and distinctly we deny the accuracy of the conclusion. In reviewing the mea sures adopted by the present Government, it must never be forgotten that when Sir ROBERT PEEL caused immense cargoes of maize to be imported from the United States, and vended at an insignifi cant price to the famishing Irish, he was enabled to do so without danger of evil consequences by three cir cumstances which it was impossible could occur afterwards. First of all, it must be observed that the Right Honourable Baronet was peculiarly aided in his munificent intentions by the fact of the dearth being unprecedented for several years previously ; secondly, he was aided by the flourishing condition into which he ,had, through his splendid financial policy, fostered the national revenue; and, thirdly, from the scarcity being sudden and unexpected, he was materially aided by the secresy which that sud denness imparted to his negotiations with the American corn-factors. Those three circumstances combined alone enabled Sir ROBERT PEEL to afford Ministerial assistance, in the shape of provisions, without exercising the most disastrous influence upon the Irish market ; and those three circum stances could no more be conjoined for the conve nience of the Executive on the following year, than ow: globe could reach its perihelium in the course of two consecutive months for the simple gratification of an experimental astronomer. It is frivolous, therefore, arid unjust, to draw any comparison between the proceedings of the Commissariat Department through out Ireland under the Peel Administration and under the Russell Administration. When Lord Joan RUSSELL and his colleagues assumed office there bad been, and there still con tinued to be, enormo us drains upon the Exchequer ; the re was the possibility of a diminutionin the in the rev enue from the wholesale reduction up NI foreign merchandise ; there were the subsiding surges of the railway panic still operating against ' wholesome enterprise, still damping the courage of speculators in the money market, depreciating the value of funded property, and rendering cash almost as scarce as potatoes. Therefore the national re venue was by no means in as auspicious and flourish ing a condition when Lord JOHN RUSSELL became Prime Minister as it had been before the vegetable murrain had devastated the islands, and before the railway mania had demented nine-fifteenths of the population. As the autumnal season of 1846 ad vanced every one anticipated a repetition of the potato disease, and a consequent repetition of the scarcity in Ireland. The markets of the United States were prepared for an immediate rise on the receipt of any proposition from the British Government for supplies of Indian wheat. The whole emergency, indeed, was expected by the multitudes not only in this kingdom, but throughout Europe and beyond the Atlantic. In terference on the part of the Executive at such a mo men t would have proved ruinous—it would have utterly prevented private speculation, and have conduced to the bankruptcy of many innocent individuals. There fore Government was no longer justified in amelio rating the agonies of famine by the open dis tribution of trans-Atlantic grain. Besides all this, the energies of the empire had become to a certain ex tent, that is to say to a certain comparative extent, enervated by the calamities produced by the visita tion of 1845. Therefore we maintain, with all the emphasis of conviction, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was without the opportunities necessary to enable his Ad ministration to emulate the generosity of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and that the statistics of their commis sariat exertions in the sister island during 1845-46, and 1846-47, cannot with any fairness or decency be placed in juxtaposition. When a Premier is surrounded by so many appalling embarrassments ; when his intellectual and physical energies are taxed to contrive the means of assuaging the sorrows of Ireland; when his Cabinet is demanding from Parlia ment 10,000,0001. of money for the relief of Irish destitution, and his voice is tuned with a persuasive eloquence in behalf of the afflicted children of Hibernia ; when the favourite schemes of the Ministry—for instance, education and the sanatory system—are neglected to give precedence to mea sures relating to that country ; when all the ardour, all the talent, and all the time of the Ministers are concentrated upon the wretched ness of the Irish millions —it is cruel, it is ungrateful, it is base, it is criminal to impute to the Government the deaths of the famine-stricken. Peasantry of Ireland ! remember the Poor-laws, remember the 10,000,0001., remember the 50,0001. for seed, remember the Public Works, remember HANSARD ! and be grateful. The Government have well redeemed the pledge given on the discussion of the motion of the Hon. and Gallant Officer the Member for Carlow, during the past session. The subject of limited enlistment in the army has indeed received mature and attentive consideration, and an admirable measure has'in conse quence been brought forward. It is impossible to peruse the able statement of the Right Hon. the Secretary at War without being convinced by his reasoning that the alteration is desirable, not merely on the grounds of justice and humanity to our gallant soldiers, but also on that of expediency, and that, even without adverting in the slightest degree to the feelings and wishes, to the moral or social condition of our military brethren, it should be effected on public grounds alone, even if other and higher motives did not exist. Heretofore it had been too much the fashion to regard the soldier as a mere ma chine, who was to be kept in subjection by terror alone ; he was looked upon as a being of an inferior creation, of degraded character and debased habits, upon whose honourable feelings it was impossible to rely,, who could not be influenced by kind treatment, upon whom rewards would be utterly thrown away This delusion was mainly propagated and kept up by persons who had, perhaps, themselves attained high rank in the service, but who, unfortunately, were so prejudiced on the question of military discipline, and the means by which it might be maintained, that they regarded with horror any innovation on the anti quated, and we trust we may speedily have it our power to say obsolete, system. Although in other respects men of humanity and intelligence, they advocated the continuance of the brutalizing and abominable torture of the "cat," and the infliction of even capital punishments, on the most trivial and in sufficient grounds. In this respect they could not admit that the present generation was as wise as their forefathers. They arrogated to themselves the sole right of judging the question, as if civilians, no matter how learned or acute, were not competent to form an opinion on the subject. They seemed to think that a soldier was not flesh and blood like other men, not to be acted on by the same rules that in fluenced ordinary mortals, but that he was a being of an incomprehensible nature, that could not be understood or appreciated by any who had not actually themselves spent some time in the service. Whenever, therefore, the subject was broached or alluded to, either in the Legislature or in private con versation, it was forthwith pooh, poohed by these gentlemen, who, without being able to ad vance any tangible argument or sufficient reason for their assertions, were contented with saying, "Ex cuse me, but I have served, and I must understand the matter better than the Hon. Member, and I assure you what he proposes will not at all answer." And by these means, and on such ridiculous assump tions, all reform and improvement in our naval and military system was opposed and retarded for many years. Happily, of late years, although too many of the class still exist, many equally gallant and distin guished officers are to be found who have dis carded their prejudices and brought all their energies to bear, in order to ameliorate the condition of the more humble companions of their toils and dangers. The advocacy of such persons is peculiarly advan tageous, much weight is attachable to every opinion to which they give utterance. They offer sufficient reasons, and will condescenl to explain to a mere civilian why the desired alterations should at once be acceded to or rejected, or how far an experiment may be tried. Private individuals also have used their own judgment, and will not now be silenced by the mere ipse dixit or uncorroborated assertion of these hot-headed veterans. Changes have conse quently been effected, which, so far from ruining the service, have produced the most beneficial results even in their infancy, and from which we may augur still more favourable consequences when fully ma tured and developed. The horrible lash has prac tically been abolished. The soldiers are educated to a certain extent, and their minds in sonv degree cultivated, and yet obedience is still enforced and obtained, and we may soon expect to see the pocition of a private soldier envied and looked up to, and many more than are actually required anxious' to obtain admission into the ranks. It is by a judi cious system of rewards, by removing many of the petty vexations by which soldiers are harassed and tormented without the attainment of any advantage, by making their barrack-rooms more comfortable, by educating and cultivating their minds and refining their tastes, by convincing them that there are rewards in store for deserving men ; that they may by exem plary conduct aspire, with a fair prospect of success, to filling higher stations at some future time ; and that if dissatisfied with their situations, there is at least a time to which they may look forward when they will be released from their thraldom, and be enabled to return to their families and friends, and renew their stations as English subjects and free citizens, that these objects can be attained. In the majority of instances the man will be rejoiced to be permitted to remain in the ranks ; if otherwise, the service gets rid of one unsuited for, and dis gusted with, a military life ; in fact, the enlistment for a limited term, as provided by the present Bill, is one of the chief means by which other improvements can be effected—and should there even be some ob jections to the measure, as asserted by its opponents, we may say, in the words of that distinguished and gallant general, and excellent man, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " These reasons all convince me that the inconveniences attending short periods of service are trivial when compared to the great advantages that it produces in raising the military character and abolishing the lash.' Intelligence from Athens, of the 10th instant, has been received. The difficulties with the Turkish Government still MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firmer. Sales 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for export, and 500 on speculation. American sorts were %d. per lb. higher, 5,000 bales selling at bid. to lid. per lb. Pernambuco and Maran ham sold at 71d. to 764. per lb ; and 200 bales Surat at 3d. to 4id. per lb. Railway Shares were firmer also, with a mo derate business doing. The ballot at the Bank of England, upon the proposition made last Thursday, in General Court, that a bonus of one per cent. be declared out of the "rest," or surplus balance of undivided profits, began exactly at eleven o'clock this morning, the Governor, the Deputy-Governor, and several of the Court of Directors being present. There were, however, but three proprietors in attendance when the minutes of the last Court were read. No doubt seems to be entertained, but that the bonus will be carried by a very large majority. 'There are a few dissentients, we hear, to the measure, who think the wisest policy is to strengthen the "rest," rather than diminish it. Soon after four o'clock the result will be known, and will be duly communicated. The letters by the East India and China mail were de livered this morning. Their contents, as far as can be as certained, are generally more favourable relative to the pro spects of trade. There is very little news by the Talbot from Rio de Ja neiro. She has brought newspapers to the 15th January only. The exchange was 28d.; Funds, Six per Cents., 84%. The Seagull arrived out on the 13th of the above month, and would sail about the 12th of February. From Peru and Chili the accounts are favourable—both those republics were determined to assist Ecuador and the other Colombian states, in case of any attack by Flores or many one else. They will be glad to find that his expedition has been broken up. Peace and plenty continued to be the lot of the whole of South America. The Government of the United States has done justice to that of Brazil, by recalling Mr. Wise from Rio, as a proof of their disapprobation of his unwise conduct. The English Stock Market has been very steady, and there has been a firm tone in the absence of speculation. Consols have realised 89 1 / s to 89% for present transfer, and the same for April 15th. The Scrip is at par to 1 , premium. Ex chequer-bills have realised par to 3s. premium. East India Stock, for the opening, is at 249.

The application for an injunction in this case, which was specially appointed for to•day, was postponed to Friday, on the application of Mr. Bethel!, on the ground of the defendants having put in two demurrers to the bill filed by the plaintiff. The case relates to the Oxford and Birmingham railway, with respect to which there has been so much before the public lately. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The March adjourned sessions for the county of M'cl dlesex commenced this morning at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant-Judge and a full bench of Magistrates. The calendar showed 98 prisoners, five of whom only were charged with misdemeanours, and the remainder being felons. Of these 78 can only read and write itn perfectly. Upon swearing the grand jury, the name of Daniel Forrester, as a resident in the county of Middlesex ' was called upon, when Mr. Forrester stood forward and claimed exemption from serving, on the ground of the official position he occupied under the Lord Mayor of the city of London. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE denied the grounds of excuse. Mr. Forrester was summoned as a freeholder of the county of Middlesex, to serve upon the jury for that county, and civic jurisdiction did not prevail here. How ever, under all the circumstances, Mr. Forrester should be excused for the present session. The grand jury having been sworn, the ASSISTANT JUDGE, in his charge, dwelt upon the statistics of juve nile crime in the metropolis. He was most happy to say to the gentleman of the grand jury, that now, more than ever, it seemed the attention of the public and the Legislature was turned to the subject of criminal jnris pruence, so far as children were concerned. Mr. CLARKSON applied to the Court for the postpone ment of the trial of ;Major Beniowski, on the charge of assaulting Mr. Urquhart, at a Polish meeting held at the Freemasons' Tavern, upon the occasion of the great meeting for the expression of the feelings consequent upon the national annihilation of Cracow. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, that in conse quence of the arrangements of the Court, the case, at best, could not be taken sooner than Friday, on which day the bail cases would be taken at Westminster. It would be quite impossible for the Court to take (as was originally arranged) the charges of misdemeanours on next Thursday, owing to the intervention of the Fast day. He was not aware what he could do in the case, but he should defer giving a definite answer until he saw whether the defendant appeared in Court to show cause either for or against the postponement, and unless he came the case would be adjourned to the bail day of the next sessions. Ann Shand Harris, who had been found guilty of stealing a coat, the property of Mr. Vandergucht, and a china plate and other articles, the property of her land lady, Miss E. Cleaver, was called up for judgment this morning, when The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he had, since the last session, caused inquiries to be made into the prisoner's character by an active and trust worthy officer. The result of these inquiries was that at Boulogne it was ascertained the prisoner was considered to be a person of education and family, and, in consequence, dozens of persons had been plun dered by her and a gang to which she bel,rigecl. The same results followed the inquiries made here, and under all the circumstances of the case he considered it to be his duty to impose upon her the term of six months' imprisonment in Westminster Bridewell for the first of fence, and of two months for the 6econd. The bail cases stand over to Friday next, when they will be taken at Westminster. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) A gentleman by the name of Lloyd applied to Mr. Bingham for a summons against the directors of the Parcel Mail Company, under the following circum stances:— It appears that applicant. on Wednesday last, took a parcel directed to Messrs. Horton and Co., High-street, Whitechapel, to the receiving office in Poland-street, where he paid the usual charge for carriage. Yester day he received a communication from the Messrs. Horton, stating that they had not received the parcel. He went to Poland-street and made inquiries, but was told that the parcel had been sent in the usual way to the chief office in the Strand. He accordingly pro ceeded to the latter place, and stated his complaint to one of the clerks, who, instead of affording him inform tion or redress, treated him with the greatest contempt and abuse. The parcel had not arrived at its destina tion, nor can he get any information regarding it. Mr. BINGHAM said that latterly there had been ria peated complaints against the company, and granted ap plicant the summons. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Walker, a toll-collector in the City-road, was charged with committing a murderous assault upon Zachariah Longman, aged 70, by cutting him in the face with a razor, and also with attempting self-destruction with the same instrument. Ann Longman, wife of the prosecutor, said the pri soner lived at the house Ne; 110, Britannia-street, City road, and in which she resided with her husband. About twelve o'clock last night the prisoner entered their room, on the ground-floor, and, after some con versation, my husband, at the request of the prisoner, went for some ale, of which each partook. The ale was paid for by the prisoner. The latter afterwards wont out for some meat for the dog. He soon returned, and took another glass of ale. He now ap peared the worse for what he had taken. He requested witness's husband to light him up stairs, which he did. In a few seconds the prisoner returned, and I put my husband, who was very ill, into the front room. The prisoner came into the back room, and having made some inquiries about his dog, left the room and went into the street. He quickiy returned, and on arriving in the passage opposite he called out lustily three times, " Fire." I then went out to him, and entreated him to go up-stairs, but be caught me by the throat. I called out " Murder," and my husband came to my assistance. I then distinctly saw the prisoner stretch out his arm towards my husband, and instantly after, I perceived that he was bleeding profusely from several gashes in his face. I now rushed to tho door and screamed murder. Thu prisoner rushed up-stairs. The police-constable quickly arrived, and my husband was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I pointed out the'prisoner's room. Police-constable, 51 N, took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner was up stairs lying upon the bed with his face downwards. He rose, when I perceived that he was bleeding from an incision in his throat, about three inches in length. I procured the assistance of Mr. Coward, the district surgeon, who sew ed up the wound, and I then conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. The razor produced was picked up upon the first-floor landing by the last witness, who gave it to me. It was then covered with blood. The prisoner expressed his sorrow for the poor old man, but said he was fearful he had not completed the job for himself, which however he would do as soon as an opportunity presented itself. The above evidence was corroborated by other wit nesses, and it was stated that the unfortunate old wan was considered in imminent danger. The prisoner was so weak as to be unable to stand, and was accommodated with a seat in the dock. He said nothing, and was remanded 'for a week. GREAT MUNSTER RAILWAY.—A meeting of some of the shareholders of this line was held to-day, at two o'clock, at N 0.21, Essex-street; but the gentleman deputed to attend for The Sun was informed that " they did not want a reporter." The celebrated Mdlle. Mars died on Saturday night in Paris. She was born the 19th December, 1778. THE LATE MURDER IN SHOREDITCH.—i esterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Old King John ' Holywell lane on the body of William Gobart, who was shot on Wed nesday night last by Thomas Brooks, now in custody, in Hare-alley, Shoreditch. The evidence adduced was little more than a recapitulation of that given before the magis trate, and which has already appeared in our co!umns. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the prisoner. BRIXTON HousE OF CORRECTION. — Yesterday, at an adjourned quarter-sessions for the county of Surrey, Mr. Johnson, the chairman of a committee of magistrates ap pointed to ascertain the best means of providing accommoda tion for prisoners, described the evils arising from the present deficiency of prison accommodation, and moved a resolution to the effect that a new prison be erected on some convenient site. The motion, after some discussion, was carried by a majority of 28 to 9. REPORTS OF THE ADMIRALTY ON THE PROPOSED DEVONSHIRE LINES.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have reported that the promoters of the Plymouth and Dartmoor Branch, the South Devon Extensions, and the Yeovil and Bridport to Exeter Railway (with branches), have not complied with the requisition made to them, in common with others, to deposit a sum to cover the expense of a local examination, and the Commissioners above named are not prepared to offer any opinion on the provisions of the proposed Acts.—Devonpo; t Independent. PROSPECTS or THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—For some weeks past there have been rumours of considerable failures in the young wheats. The result of our inquiries on this subject is, that there certainly have been failures to some extent, ut almost entirely confined to wheat sown on grass-lands, turned up for the cultivation of the grain. Those failures have extended to clover-lea as well as to cases where common grass-lands had been ploughed up. The early ascertainment of the failure of the young wheats, in those instances, has fortunately afforded time for putting down seed oats instead ; and this has been done very gene rally, as the farmers who cultivate wheat possess the means of providing for another crop. Allowing for the failures to which we have referred, we understand that the young wheats generally are looking healthy, having been improved by the recent falls of rain.—Dublin Evening Post. APPROPRIATION OF PEWS BY CLERGYMEN.—A question of some importance in reference to the appropria tion. of pews by clergymen, has lately arisen in the Consis tory Court, in this city (Carli,le). The Rev. G. Bell, incum bent, of Rirklinton, was cited by the churchwardens of that parish, "for having taken upon himself, of his own mere authority, capriciously and improperly to allot and appro priate the pews in the new church." The court decreed on Wednesday last, that the appropriation was null and void, and imposed upon the defendant the costs of the suit.—Car.. lisle Journal, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 22.—The Talbot, 26, Captain Thernas hompson, Bart., was towed into harbour _his alti rnoon, to discharge her freight, after which she aid be paid off, all standing, and draughted into the " relief service." She was inspected, and her crew mud' tered and exercised at Spithead this morning, by the Commander in -Chief, accompanied by Captains Milne , of the St. Vincent, and Chads, of the Excellent. The gunnery was good, and the men and ship declared to be in very ifficient order.

W: Walker, and the Carysfort, 26, Captain Michael Seymour, were at Valparaiso. Th e Samson steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, and T he Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, were at Callao. Grampus, 50, Captain Martin, was at Otahe ite ' This vessel had proved herself but a very poor 50-0 0 frigate. She was a dull sailer, berthed her crew Teri uncomfortably, and could not stow more than six .or eight weeks' provisions for them without encumbering her decks. The Spy, 3, Commander Woolridge, lo3 Valparaiso four days before the Talbot, with dispatchet from the Admiral for the Grampus. The sin e t 26, Captain Blake, was at Honolulu, Sandw ich Islands.

The mem o of the court consist of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parke r ,' President, Captain Horatio Austen, of Woolwich , 0° Captain Henderson, of the Sidon. One subject for in : quiry is the fact of Lieutenant Scott, the secant, lieutenant of the Salamander , having been put under, arrest by Captain Hamond, and remained under sot three months, at the expiration of which time he vr"" released by First Lieutenant Ricketts, the acting 0 °; mander of the Salamander. After this Lieutenalt is naturally most anxious to have his character clear by a Court of Inquiry. The Sphynx steam-sloop was taken out of the basis this afternoon. WOOLWICH, MARCH 22.—The Blenheim, 72 guns, Tin! brought down to Woolwich from Blackwall on Saturdni afternoon, too late to be taken into dock during the set° tide, owing to her being aground on the Essex shore in consequence of the Cactus brig, belonging to Sund e h r ; th e Blenheim, On the Cactus coming into contact with ~'s Blenheim, the anchor of the latter broke in the buityll',„o of the brig, and became so entangled that it was time before the vessels were disengaged; and the engin e , of the Monkey Government steamer having beeL„ stantly stopped and reversed to prevent the brig u° --- a run down, the Blenheim drawing 20 feet 6 inch es ; water, was forced back by the strength of the from Woolwich-reach to the Essex side of the rill; opposite Bugsby's-hole. When the anchor of cey Blenheim was cleared from the brig, the mon-- steamer cast off, and with a hawser towed the 1 3 % . heim into the middle of the river. The 0r key then proceeded a- head to take a hawser fr the bow of the Blenheim to tow her down the rive r and in doing so the Blenheim touched her gut; and drove her into the brig Agility, of ‘ ▪ (1 .- d derland, lying at anchor in Bugsby's-hole, cut that vessel down to the water. The Ag l- ▪ e r immediately slipped her cable, and the Monkey stile, left the Blenheim and towed the brig on to the Essex shore. Another hired tug was procured, and is I3lenheim brought safely to Woolwich. The del% f e the arrival of the Blenheim at Woolwich must been attended with considerable expense, as the ship he r penters and labourers, who were in waiting to hav e docked, were under the necessity of coming to the & c o g yard at three o'clock on Sunday m o r n in g to perform lo p operation, which was effected with the aid of abou t t he convicts. The only trifling injury sustained by iiti Blenheim on Saturday afternoon during her contact° et the brig was the abrasion of four sh ee t s of her cop e sheathing, caused by the fluke of h er a nchor b e a ' r pressed against her side und e r th e wa t er line.
