In consequence of the press of matter, we are corn- Flied to omit our usual summary of the Parliamentary proceedings. Another discussion and another adjournment upon Mr. HUME'S motion for the non-payment of the Russo-Dutch Loan, have afforded a pretty tolerable inkling of the diversity of the opinions entertained in the House of Commons upon the simplest questions of honesty in legislation. To the Noble Lord the Representative of Lynn is due the credit of having uttered a panegyric before the British Parliament upon the spoilers of Poland and the despotic robbers of Cracow. Let not that be forgotten by the popu lation of these islands. Let it not be forgotten that a man aspiring to their suffrages for his installation in office had the audacity to congratulate the Northern Emperors on their violation of the neutrality and in dependence of Cracow, and its formal annexation to the Austrian dominions. If Lord GEORGE BENTINCK had striven to render himself and his political princi ples unpalatable to the community, he could not have succeeded better in so doing than by the utterance of this extraordinary language. When M. GUIZOT affirmed that the infraction of the treaties of Vienna by Austria and Russia authorised France, "by a just reciprocity, to consult nothing henceforth but a provident estimate of her own in terests," he reverted from an age of civilization to the system of a predatory and lawless generation. But when Lord GEORGE BENTINCK exulted over the dis memberment of Poland, and expressed his gratitude to the tyrannical Cabinets in which its partition originated, he fell back from the enlightenment of liberalised Christendom to the most odious principles of the most despotic Governments. Of what value can be that constitution, which we prize as the most precious legacy of our forefathers, to the panegyrist of a deed which does violence to the very soul and spirit of that constitution ? How can any one have the temerity to expect that the guardianship of the liberties cf Great Britain shall be consigned to his hands, who can enunciate sentiments so directly at variance with national independence, diplomatic in tegrity, and popular freedom ? Lord GEORGE BEN TINCIE has estranged from himself the sympathies of Englishmen by his becoming last session the Pro tectionist slanderer of Sir ROBERT PEEL : he ren dered himself ridiculous by his railway bubble scheme for the reclamation of Ireland : he has now dwindled down into an object of scorn and indignation by ex ulting over the extinction of Cracow, and lauding those anointed spoliators who are infamous and abhorred in the eyes of GOD and man. A striking difference of opinion is visible in the discussion as to the moral right possessed by England of refusing any further disbursements upon the Russo-Dutch Loan. It is considered by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose, and by many others, that the violation of the treaties of 1815, in the annexation of Cracow to Austria, ex onorates England from any further payments upon the loans in question. By a very considerable ma jority, however, it is conceived that no infraction of the kind can justify this country in withdrawing from these pecuniary engagements. If we regard the matter under deliberation as a thing to be decided by the lex talionis, then, undoubtedly, there could not be a moment's hesitation as to the decision of Parliament: the Russo-Dutch Loan would be numbered henceforth among the " have beens." Upon a principle of equitable retaliation, the subsidiary monies pouring annually into the ex ehequers of the CZAR would be immediately dimi nished as a consequence of the villanous appropria- tion of the KAISER. The extension of the territories of FERDINAND would produce a contraction of the revenues of NICHOLAS. In the relations subsisting between the nations of Christendom, however, a nobler principle is apparent. Justice and honour are not with us weighed out in the stinting scales of quid pro quo. Probity to civilized empires, but espe cially to commercial races, is the most precious jewel of their characters. To England more particularly it would be a grievous degradation to diminish her credit for the sake of a splenetic paroxysm of re venge. It must never be said of us as a people that we shirked a debt upon the plea that because Russia was dishonest we chose to be dishonest! Russia, and Prussia, and Austria have committed a great crime in the face of Europe. During its per petration we have remained passive, and our conduce is, as yet, upon this point stainless. Shall we then forfeit this proud distinction by reducing ourselves to the position of the degraded Sovereigns of the North—by imitating their criminality —by ourselves violating those treaties which they have violated, and for the violation of which they are at once detested and despised. But we Are satisfied that neither Mr. Hume nor any of those Honourable Legislators who coincide with him are desirous of refusing further payments upon the Russo-Dutch Loan simply out of a spirit of tetaliation. We are satisfied that the Honourable Member for Montrose has no sympathy in the unprincipled declarations of M. GuizoT, and that providing it were indisputably proved that we are not released from our moral obligation as debtors to the Government of the Russian EMPEROR, Mr. Heats would be as much opposed to the forfeiture of our reputation for the sake of L. S. D. as are the members of the present Adminis tration. But it is precisely because such is not proved to be the case—precisely because it still re mains questionable whether we are exonerated from further disbursements by the loss of the independence of the Cracovian republic—precisely because the po o solicitousideas of Parliament are a t var i ance u this important consideration , motio that m we H u a m r E a full e may be submitt e d to and n pat i o f ent del i r beration. . end widens the mor e it ex- The question deepens amined, and, consequently, necessitates the utmost vigilance and scrutiny on the part of the Legislature before it be finally dismissed. Whether by the re• tention of the former colonial possessions of Holland in perpetuity—the Cape of Good Hope, Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice—England is not bound, irre vocably and under all circumstances, to continue her periodical instalments upon the Russo-Dutch Loan, is a consideration which embarrasses still further this complicated and intricate question. At all hazards, our fame as an honourable nation must not be sold for gold or tarnished for convenience. Continuing our remarks of yesterday upon the subject of National Education, wherein we proved from the equal admissions of the strenuous sup porters of the Established Church, on the one hand, and the advocates of Voluntaryism, on the other, that neither of these systems is adequate to provide the needful regimen for the general education of the peOple—we approach the question, whether the State ought to be exclusively permitted to construct, regu late, and control efficient institutions for deve loping the intellectual faculties of the rising generation. If we had to consider this proposition in connexion with a nascent colony, or infantile state, we should unhesitatingly support it; but, viewed in regard to the British Isles, we find the ground has been already occupied to such an extent, and for so long a period, by influential partisans of different sys tems, that, as a practical people, we are not at liberty to weigh the abstract merits of the various theories that have been, more or less, propounded and em braced for the promotion of national education. If Lord MELBOURNE'S Government, when they, ten years since, scanned the existing and future evils derivable from suffering the humbler classes to remain embedded in ignorance, and' became convinced that the State should take some precautionary steps in aid of the intellectual welfare of the people, had commenced their opera tions by clearing the area of every material that lay upon the surface, the proceeding would have been denounced as one of the most insane ever adopted by any Ministry. Destruction is seldom the necessary antecedent to reformation. Wherever this policy has been sanctioned by those who, enamoured with the beauty and symmetry of a given theory, never condescended to reflect upon its practical bearings, the consequences have been most disastrous. It was the pursuit of this fatal error that stamped the French Revolution of 1789 as the most horrible fantasy recorded in the pages of history. Lord MEL BOURNE, however, carefully reviewed the different agencies at work ; he demolished none, but prudently determined upon fostering and encouraging them all. In a parental spirit, he moulded everything he found at hand. Honourable prejudices were scrupulously regarded, and he steered a course fraught with reli gious toleration, and subservient to the great end held in common by every influential sect —a sound secular education for the people. From the great stress which the different educa tional societies laid upon the importance of religious instruction, the Minister wisely conceived that that invaluable branch of education, according to the favoured doctrines and forms of respective religionists, would never be neglected; and that, therefore, the State might advantageously assist existing institu tions, upon certain conditions, and with reference to the secular culture of the mind, without in any wise mixing itself up with theological controversy. How widely soever parties in Parliament formerly differed, they are now united in their approval of the wisdom with which Lord MELBOURNE devised his plan. Everything savouring of interference has been care fully eschewed by the present and the two preceding Governments. Public monies have been yearly granted to those bodies who have applied for pecu niary aid, and all that the Goverment, as faithful trustees, have chiefly insisted on, in return, has been a right of inspection, in order to guard against the misapplication of the funds they have allocated. Those who object to this system have, fur the most part, their minds entangled in a twofold fallacy, which is admirably exposed by the Rev. Mr. DUFTON, to whose able pamphlet we yesterday referred. The first arises froM the presupposition that there must be a single Educator. " But education is not one single and simple process ; it is such a train ing of all the mental and moral faculties as will fit the educated to discharge all the duties and fulfil all the relations of life." The second fallacy is involved in the question which they are constantly presenting: " Will you separate religion from education ?" Quoting again from Mr. DUFTON, " we answer that we will attempt no such thing, for the simple reason that it is clearly impossible. Religious and secular' cannot be separated in education,' properly so called, because education includes all the moral obligations of life; but they may, and must be separated in instruction, which is the instrument of education, and like every other instrument, must be different in its applications, according to the different nature of the objects which it is required to accomplish." The grievous error lies in this,—that people start with the presumption that in the vessel of the mind there is an inseparable union between its religious and secular contents, whereas they are, from the first, distinctly separate, and the grave and delicate task consists in so combining and uniting them, that " the religious element shall be preserved from desecration, and the secular from perversion." Towards the conclusion of his essay, Mr. DUFTON offers many suggestions for calling the powers of the State into requisition ; and we consider that we tender him no slight praise, when we observe, that, in the spirit of most of them, he has been closely anticipated by the Government. We are quite certain that both Churchmen and Voluntaries must by this time be equally convinced, by practical experience, that they can achieve more by co-operation than by any exclusive privilege of instruction. In stating this, we give the anim us i n w hi c h M r. DUFTON has submitted his views to the public. We fuel grateful for his effort in behalf of the intellectual and moral elevation of the unenlightened classes of the British community. Notwithstanding the extraordinary and gigantic efforts of the British Government and British people —notwithstanding the enormous expenditure sanc tioned by the State, and defrayed out of the Conso lidated Fund, by which daily employment is afforded at this moment to no less than 700,000 able-bodied labourers on the public works, and provision made for their families, who may fairly be averaged at 3,500,000 human beings—notwithstanding the liberal contributions of benevolent individuals, who in the most praiseworthy manner have come for ward, and from their abundance sought to relieve and alleviate the destitution and misery under which a considerable number of their Irish brethren were suffering, who, from peculiar circumstances, were unable to obtain employment or food, from public or private sources ;—notwithstanding these unparalleled exertions on every side, distress and wretchedness appears still to prevail extensively in that unhappy land, and the horrors of pestilence and famine to remain without mitigation. The coroners of the several counties, particularly in the southern and western parts of the kingdom, are holding daily inquests on the wretched victims, and the almost invariable verdicts returned by the juries, of "deaths from actual starve. lion," afford the strongest evidences of the continued ravages of famine in the stricken districts, of the in sufficiency of all that has yet been done, and of the necessity of increased exertion of the most ♦igorour description on the part of every one who has the means to render assistance. In such a fearful emer gency it behoves all to set their shoulders to the wheel ; there should be no hanging back, or with drawal from the imperative duty. Every one should give according to his means ; it is not the magnitude of individual gifts, but the universality of the benevolence, that is required,—pence from the millions would be more valuable than pounds from the few. It is not a time to inquire whether land lords have performed their duties, whether tle afflicted people have conducted themselves with perfect propriety, or what may be their deserts; above all, it is not a fitting time for any attempt at prot;elytism, or at inculcating the abstract doctrines of any sect or religion on the minds of famishing wretches ; it is sufficient that we are satisfied of the reality of the distress, and that unhappily requires no additional corrobora tion, to induce every person possessed of the common feelings of humanity to strive to the utmost in the sacred cause. That assistance is required as well on behalf of our Scottish as of our Irish brethren. The great and unceasing efforts of the Scottish people, not only of the proprietors of the soil, but of those who them selves are barely removed from actual want, has hitherto averted the reproach that any had perished in Scotland from want of the common necessa ries of life, bat their ability has been taxed to the utmost, and if speedy aid be not afforded from this more prosperous country, scenes such as those which have taken place in Ireland must inevitably be re-enacted on Highland ground. It would indeed form a bad precedent, and inflict in delible disgrace on our country, if we permitted those who have sought to help themselves, and strained every nerve on their own behalf, to perish for want of timely relief. We have much pleasure in noticing the meeting that took place yesterday, at the London Tavern, foe the purpose of promoting the relief of the distress in both countries of all who are suffering from want, without inquiring what creed they pro fessed, or in what manner or form they thought pro per to worship their CREATOR, or deemed that worship to be most acceptable. Many eloquent speeches were made, and fearful and harrowing accounts detailed by gentlemen whose testimony was beyond all dispute or cavil. Alas ! they only repeated that which has been wafted on the wings of the press throughout every part of the country day by day, that which has been already stated by every person who has had an opportunity of becoming an eye-witness, and forming a judgment as to the real state of things, and which has beet, admitted in the Senate by the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and others, his colleagues in office, to be as simple and unexaggerated statement of facts, whiel it would be impossible to embellish or colour tot highly. From the fearful tales that were told it would be' impossible to select, all were of the same appalling character, which the heart sickens to con template. Such meetings are, however, in the highest degree valuable ; they afford the necessary stimulant to individuals, and bring prominently before the minds of those present, and taking a part in the proceedings, the awful condition to which our fellow-creatures have been reduced, and are calculated to remove the apathy of those who remain inert, not from a want of feel ing, and an anxiety to benefit the sufferers, but from a want of consideration, and not sufficiently reflectir on the state of those who are far distant. We trust that we shall see the example thereby set, extensively fol lowed, and that we may have to record the proceed ings of many similar meetings, parochial, and other wise, for the same praiseworthy purpose. The Turkish Ambassador, Cm: Km EFFENDI, was .again received on the 24th ult. by the POPE, in a private audience, in the course of which his Holiness repeated the requests that he had made in favour of the Chris tians of the East. On the 26th the Ambassador wa present at a grand ball given by the Duke DE TOR LONIA, and passe4 a long time in conversation witl Cardinal ALFIERI. A letter from :Rome states that the POPE intends t( send Consuls to the principal towns in the Otto,uan em pire, and that the Catholic subjects of the SULTAN art to be placed under their protection. " We are assured," says the Frankfort Journal," that one-half of the new Austrian loan will be on bonds bear ing two-and-a-half per cent. interest." On the Ist init. six students and twenty other per sons were arrested at Munich for making attempts a hostile demonstrations against LOLA. MONTES, who, ac cording to the Augsburgh Gazette, when the crowd as sembled before her house, appeared at one of the win , dows armed with a brace of pistols. A proclamatioi has been issued, forbidding more than ten persons tt assemble together. The Cologne Gazette states from Vienna, 3d inst.. that the Austrian Government having been requested by that of Turkey to send some of its officers to Con stantinople, as was done some years ago, to witness tht manoeuvres of the Turkish troops, and instruct them, 80 officers are to set out for that purpose in April. Madrid papers of the sth inst. have arrived. The debate on the Address continued. Senor DENOSO CORTES addressed the Chamber on the 4th, and declaree that the renunciation demanded by England of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER would never be permitted by the Spanish nation. He also contended that the influence exercised by England in Portugal was an opprobrium tu Spain, and declared that the progress of the French in Africa was fatal to Spanish interests, as Spain had rights there, and was the only nation capable of civilising Africa, and deriving benefit from such civilisation. This allusion to the progress of the French in Africa brought up Senor MARTINEZ DE LA Ross, who may now be considered as the French Proconsul, and who, of course. declared that the possession by the French of Africa would be exceedingly advantageous to Spain. With respect to Portugal, he declared that there could be no doubt but that England would interfere to prevent the success of Dom MIGUEL, should his movements be come menacing. The Clamor Publico gives the following account of the termination of the affair at Fonterabia in a letter from Irun :-- • "In the afternoon of the Ist a detachment of infantry and cavalry was stationed on the beach on the right of the Bidassoa, to cover the departure of the French vessel which had been on shore on. the coast. Last evening two small sloops entered the port, in order to take the French vessel in tow. At four o'clock in the evening all the right bank of the Bidassoa was lined with French troops, and four pieces of artillery were posted at Andaya (the first village on the French side), ready to fire in the direction of the port of Fonterabia, when the captain of the port proceeded near the French vessel, and, in a loud voice, said,' Do y ou admit this port to belon g t o t h e Spanish nation y es ; I do, was the reply of the French captain. 'ln the name and by order of my Sovereign,' said the Spanish officer, I enjoin you not to proceed further, but to collie to an anchor until further orders.' At this intima: tion the chief of the staff', who was on board the French vessel, replied that, if the captain of the port of Fonterabia had orders from the Queen to prevent the vessel leaving, the French had also orders from their Sovereign to take her out, even if force should be required to effett that object. At this reply, and at th e sight of the prepar a ti ons made to carry it into effect, the captain of the port had no other alternative than to withdraw, to the shame of Spain and of those who now govern her." The Eco del Comercio publishes a letter from Tor viscon, in the province of Grenada, stating the progress made by the Carlists in that district. They are under the orders of CABERELLAS, BASILIJ , and TALLADA, and will soon be posted in inaccessible Sierras. The misery of the population is frightful, and it is said the Carlists arc making numerou s recruits. 11fAncii s.—The Thre e p er C ents. were Five per Cents, at 1914 ; t h e P assives Queen CHRISTINA. was to leave M a d r id on Monday. don M e Ap at iu 3 D O at 6 ; and the Coupon s at 17. B 4 o ; l.ll t At he F We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Journal des Debats has an ably-written article on the English Customs returns for 1846, which prove the correctness of the principles of free trade. After advocating the principle of low duties on articles of general consumption, the Debuts says " It is thus that are exhibited to nations the magnificent experiments of England on her tariffs, without demanding reciprocity from anybody, so convinced was the Parliament that the elevation of tariffs is of itself an evil, and the pre tended protective system. a deception." The Constitutionnel states that the health of 11, MARTIN (du Nord) is every day more alarming, the paralysis having extended to parts of the body which it had hitherto spared. The price of flour continues to increase in Paris, and provisions are becoming every day more scarce. On this subject we find the following in the Commerce " Notwithstanding the large quantities of corn and flour that have arrived or are expected from foreign countries, the prices in all the markets are progressively- rising, and towards the end of last week the advance was considerable in the north. At Paris the price of flour is increasing daily, and the average quotation has already reached a point where, the bread is taxed 57c. the kilometre, and it will be without doubt charged at that rate for the second fortnight of the. month. '1 here will thus be a fresh advance of 4c., or nearly one sou, on the four-pound loaf. This continual movement upwards is caused rather by the fear of scarcity than by any ' insufEciency of supply. Everywhere the consumers are alarmed; they carry off all that arrives in the market to make provision for the future. On their side the farmers, encouraged by this extraordinary demand, raise their prices, or wait for still higher ones. We believe that in this state of things everything that can re-assure the populations as to the sufficiency of provisions, will have the effect of bringing 'town prices. Soon, with the return of the westerly winds, Havre will receive considerable quantities of corn and flour from the United States. As soon, too, as the navigation of the Baltic is open, numerous cargoes of corn will be directed towards France • the various ports of the B lack Sea also are sending us hundreds of vessels freighted with grain. It is probable that all these arrivals will commence about next month, exercising some influence on prices here." The French Funds declined on the Paris Bourse on Wednesday, in consequence, it was said, of large sales in the Five per Cent. stock made for the account of the Bank of France.

The. sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 1,200 to 1,500 bales, principally American, at 6 1 Ad. to 7%c1. per lb. all to the trade. The market closed heavily, and prices were 1 ,4(d. per lb. lower than last week. Shares were again dull. Although the Corn market has risen. again to-day, there is a somewhat better feeling in the City, and should the winter break up, we may yet have a more buoyant feeling. The following, received to-day from Amefica, is cheering : " Judging from the exceedingly favourable weather throughout the planting, sowing, and harvesting sea son of 1846, we should think that the aggregate pro duct last year was about 12% per cent. greater than that of the year previous. Upon this calculation, which we conside: a very safe one, the total production of wheat in the Uuited States, in 1846, was about 119,866,500 bushels, equal to 23,973,300 barrels of flour, and of corn, 470,136,375 bushels. Estimating the home consumption at the rate of one barrel of flour per head, the aggregate consumption of the United States, would be equal to 20 millions of barrels, leaving a surplus of 3,973,000 barrels for the total foreign demand. Four million bushels of wheat would be required for seed; this would reduce the flour for exportation to 3,173,000 barrels. This is about double the quantity ever shipped from this country. The exportation of flour from this country to Great Britain in 1831, was much larger than it has been any year since, and that in 1840, after two defi cient harvests, the exportation only amounted to little more than 600,000 barrels. " Until last year the shipments of grain, such as wheat and corn, in bulk, have be en very li m i te d ; but recently they have been exceedingly large, particularly of Indian corn. This ;rain has heretofore been but little known in Europe, and we have been compelled to consume at home the immense crops annually produced. Necessity has brought about its intro faction into the principal markets of Europe to a very great extent, the prejudices which have existed against it as an article of human food having been completely removed. It mist hereafter be a very important staple article of export, no matter what may be the state of the European harvests. As an economical nutritious grain it is superior to any other in existence, and will prove as great a blessing to the poorer classes of Great Britain as it has ever been to those of this country. The production of corn in the United States has been teretofore about four times as large as that of wheat, and with welve mouths notice, or in a twelvemonth, the cultivation could be increased to such an extent, that, under favourable circumstances, the production could be nearly doubled. This ;rain is grown in great perfection in every section of the country. At the extreme north, and at the extreme south, it reaches early maturity, and is free from those disasters and diseases which nearly_ every other grain is almost annually visited with. The rich prairies of the west are peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of Indian corn, and the field frequently reaches in that section 100 bushels of 'belled corn per acre. It is the safest, and with a yield everywhere of above 50 bushels per acre, is the most profitable crop our farmers can devote their land to ;" and if prices remain until planting time in the neighbourhood of the , ates now current, the extent of soil appropriated to this ;rain another year will be immense, and the production, with favourable season, encrmous." As the probable supply of food now is the all-absorbing question, such assurances as the above cannot but be grati .ying.. _ _ _ Tire.

The grand Celtic ball, in aid of the distressed High landers, took place at Willis's Rooms last evening ; and when the object of the meeting is considered, it can hardly be necessary to state that it was most numerously attended. So great, indeed, was the number of persons assembled, that about midnight it was difficult to obtain an entrée into the ball-room, ex cepting during the promenades between the dances. It was in these intervals, also, that the best view of the whole assembly was to be obtained. During the dances the coup d'ceil was very effective; the contemplation of the whole, however, to a certain extent, prevented any atten tion of any particular part; but when the dance was over, and the gorgeous multitude passed on, they pre sented to any curious stander-by a most in teresting and varied subject of observation. The fancy costumes of course were the chief objects of at tention ; there were " garbs of all hues in variety blend ing"—uniforms, some of the time of the first Georges, presenting a very striking contrast to those of more modern days, and some also of as ancient a date, as the Revolution; mingling with these were the costume of the courtly Cavalier, Greek dresses, Court dresses, and some which it would be impossible to ascribe to any partieula, place or period, and which must consequently be classed under the very comprehensive denomination of "fancy." Conspicuous among all, however, and certainly inferior in appearance to none, were the very numerous body of Highlanders, who, habited in their native garb—" the plume of the eagle and plaid of the North," seemed to enter into the spirit of the scene with all their native enthusiasm. It was observed by one of them last night, on remarking the evidences of that feeling among his countrymen, " That the feeling of nationality was one of the most ennobling of senti ments." Be this as it may, it is certainly one of the most powerful ; and its power is in few places so effective as among High landers—this, indeed, was the main cause of the brilliant display of last night. The same feeling which bids them stand "shoulder to shoulder" in the battle, which is ever all-powerful— to fire the fight, Cheer the pursuit, or—" We cannot, however, finish the quotation , " stop the flight" may be a very good rhythmical termination to the line, but it would be singularly inappropriate to our sub ject, the very feeling of nationality of which we are spy ak ing rendering the thought of flight from danger an impos sibility to Highlanders. This same feeling it was that caused so vast a number to congregate last evening, attracted not by the charms of the dance, or of their own stirring minstrelsy, but by their sympathy with the distress of their fellow-countrymen. Of that distress we will say nothing here. Starvation and dancing are most incongruous themes ; yet there is in this case some connexion and some sympathy between them. If the exigency of the distress gave occasion to the ball, it is to be hoped that the proceeds of the ball will, to a certain extent, tend to its alleviation. We were happy to learn that there were about fifteen hundred persons present, and besides the money for their tickets, many donations were received during the evening. The magnificent ball-room, celebrated for the reunions of Almacks', appeared to great advantage, the walls being decorated with the arms of Scotland, and other appropriate devices ; over one of the mirrors was sus pended a small miniature of the "King of the Hieland Hearts, bonnie Prince Charlie !" On the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge, some very "loyal" individual threw a handkerchief over the portrait lest it might be offensive to his Royal Highness. We are inclined to believe, however, that his Royal Highness would have been little pleased with an act which evidenced such a total ignorance of his liberal sentiments. We must not conclude without making mention of the best dances, and, indeed, the most amusing performances of the evening, namely, the Highland reels. A. very great number of these were included in the evening's programme, and though often repeated the ardour of the actors and the admiration of the spectators were so great, that neitner seemed inclined to cry "hold, enough !" To those only acquainted with the monotonous, laissez faire, mode of walk ing through the quadrilles, now so generally adopted, the dancing of the Highlanders must have appeared most astonishing. Here we had ac ,t,ioonn the an d agilitysuch as is seldom wi tnesse d save boards," together with what no acting can supply real animation ,and enthusi asm . Cheeredlaythe music of the pipes, the Highlanders seemed to enter into the spirit of the dance with a " heart and a half," to their own evident pleasure and to the great delight of the bystanders. All the arrange. ments were well conducted, and seemed to afford general satiJaction. Amongst the company present were, Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Kennaird and Tilliard, J. Matheson; Esq., M.P.; Cap tains Stuart, Stephenson, Davidson, Lamont, &c. ; Messrs. Leith, Childs, IL B. Boothby, and many others, for whose names we have not room at present. SUDDEN DEATH ON THE WESTMINSTERBRIDGE PiEtt.--An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Bedford, at the Westminster Hotel, Bridge-street, Westminster, o❑ the body of Charles Samuel Short, aged 40, managing clerk . to Messrs. Burchell and Boreham, solicitors, Parliament-street. The deceased lived at Stockwell, and at half-past live o'clock on Tuesday afternoon last, he left his employers to return to his home, by a steam-boat from Westminster bridge Pier, and whilst sitting on the outer dumby, waiting the arrival of the steam-boat, he was observed suddenly to fall forward from his seat. Several persons ran to his assist ance, and he was conveyed to the waiting-room. Mr. Kell, surgeon, of Bridge-street, promptly attended, but the de ceased had ceased to exist, death having 'resulted from diseased heart. Verdict, " Natural death." ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Lord LANGDALE said, if he had been Lord Nelson, he Court should not have been satisfied with the deci•sion of any in this country.
