Their Lordships have evinced their wisdom and discretion--they have re-considered their former decision, limiting the duration of the most important , clauses of the Irish Poor-law—they have escaped from the incongruities and absurdities in which they had been involved by the temporary success of Lord MorrEa.oLE's amendment. The measure is now permanent anent i n a ll i ts par t s , an d th e grea t e x periment receiv e a fair trial. Of course the same power will exist in the Legislature of altering or abolishing any of its provisions, which may in practice be found to work badly, or to disappointwit the expectation s th a t have been entert a i ne d respect to them that it possesses in all oth er matters It will still r e t a i n it s power of revision, but will n c)tbeorced to en t er i n t o the consideration at any particular f not entertain the fears by whi c h th e P l r r landlords.isda. We have been haunted — we are convinced as they adapt them selves to the altered circumstances "'" th a t so do of the country —so soon as the y take the neces sary steps for giving adequate employment to the myriads of able- bodied labourers, whom they must otherwise support in idleness, and convert tho3e who now are weighty burdens on the re sources of the nation, into producers of national wealth, bard-working men, earning their daily bread by the exercise of their own honest industry, they will find themselves the greatest gainers by the change. Had the limitation still continued, they would not have made the necessary exertions. They would have contented themselves with the vague hope, that all the mischief that would have been occasioned by their own neglect and apathy, would have induced Parliament to suffer the law to die a natural death, and perhaps to provide a portion of the expenditure out of the National Exchequer, or, in other words, out of the pockets of the English tax-payers. These hopes aro now taken away. They must rely on their own sctivity i t ucl inagrgy. They:Eaupt meet the difficulty by their own strenuous exertions. They will not be unaided in their efforts ; every reasonable assist ance will be afforded. British capital will be applied to the improvement of their properties, money will be advanced—repayable by easy instalments —by the judicious application of 'which their waste lands may be reclaimed, their fields brought to the highest degree of cultivation and fer tility, their produce more than doubled, and all the natural capabilities of the country fully developed. If they do not take due advantage of the proffered benefits, they will have themselves alone to blame, they will become the first victims of their own culpable folly and blindness, and cannot hope for sympathy in the ruin which their way ward ob stinacy may occasion. Although we have to congratulate the public on the prudence thus manifested by their Lordships, we regret to say that no effort was mark to restore the 11 th clause, which was expunged from the Bill on the motion of Lord STANLEY, or to get rid of the clause declaring that the occupier of more than a quarter of a statute acre shall not be considered as a destitute poor person within the meaning of the Act, and that it should not be lauful to afford relief to any such person either in or out of the work house unless he shall have surrendered to his immediate landlord whatever right he had to the occupation-of such land over and above the extent of a quarter of an acre, at least ten days previous to his application. On Wednesday we pointed out the dangerous tendency of this enactment, that it enables the landlords to gratify their clearing propensities, to get rid altogether of ejectment proceedings, and, by a more certain, although less apparent, modus operandi, to banish the wretched cottiers from their holdings. There would be no necessity for the overt act, which would call forth the public indignation at the inhumanity of the perpetrator. They have only to refrain from taking steps for employing their tenantry, and they will attain their object, while the strongest inducement is held out by the absence of the I lth clause to the landlords to bring their powers into full force. The clause added to the Bill, on the motion of Lord LucAri, "That no person shall be deemed to have been resi dent in an electoral division, unless he shall have occupied some tenement, or usually slept within such division for the period of thirty calendar months out of the three years preceding the period of his re ceiving relief," although it may be of some slight service, will by no means prove a sufficient substi tute. It introduces, too, the vexala qucestio of "settlement," which, it was understood should form the subject of a separate enactment, and opens a wide field for litigation. We trust that the representa tives of the people will fully consider the probable results of these clauses before they finally sanction the amendments introduced in the House of Lords. If they omit doing so, we are thoroughly convinced that ere long Parliament will have to legislate anew on the question, and that many scenes of misery and suffering will be enacted in the interim. The Hydra of civil war is beginning to hide its diminished heads in Portugal. Concessions are taking the place of military reprisals, and negotiations are proceeding in lieu of bombardments. However much the Royalists may be solicitous to mince a discreditable reality into a specious and flattering fiction, it is undeniable that Queen MARIA DA GLORIA has been driven to these meagures of conciliation by the valorous bearing of the insurgents, and that the latter were originally incited to a popular movement bv the unconstitutional policy adopted by their deluded SOVEREIGN. British mediation is, however, at length proving successful. The propositions communicate by Colonel WTLDE to the regal councils of Lisbon have been ultimately accepted, and that Plenipoten tiary has consequently proceeded to the insurgent forces for the purpose of preventing, if possible, any further bloodshed. So far our last dis patches had already afforded us authentic in formation, but the intelligence which has just arrived recounts the reception of the English pacificator, and the questionable success of his chari table endeavours. Despite the distinct acquiescence of the Portuguese Monarch in all the terms pro pounded by Lord PALMERSTON, there was manifestly a disinclination on the part of the revolted officers to yield so readily and peacefully to the offers of recon ciliation. The effect of this disinclination has, un fortunately, proved disastrous and sanguinary. After shunning any definitive answer to the proposal of Colonel WrLDE, SA DA I3ANDEIRA pushed forward to St. Übes, where a murderous conflict with the QUEEN'S troops resulted in the discomfiture of the assailants, and the butchery of three hundred soldiers, under the banners of the revolution. Those, how ever, who would asperse SA DA BANDEIRA, as having wantonly provoked this slaughter, Mould remember that the population of Portugal has received the inost startling lessons of inhumanity from the sup porters of MARIA Di GLORIA. They should remember the brutalising spectacle of Torres Vedras and the general savageness by which the Royalist soldiers have latterly been so peculiarly characterised. - Subsequently to the engagement at St. Übes Colonel WTLDE, accompanied by the Marquis DE' ESPANA, proceeded to the head-quarters of the insur rection at Oporto. Through the moderation of the Junta, and especially through the sagacity of the Com mander-in-Chief, Count DAs ANTAS, it is presumed that the pacific anticipations of the Commissioners will in the end be realised. Curiously enough, the French representatives at Lisbon and Oporto have taken no part whatever in these momentous negotia tions, so that the honour of having mediated effec tually between the people of Portugal and the SO.. VEREIGIN of Portugal will belong almost as exclusively to England as the odium of the original outbreak is traceable to France. Whatever, indeed, may be the consequence of the pending communications, it will remain perpetually to the credit of the British Government, that it interposed with its diplomacy for the sole purpose of effecting a satisfactory compromise, while the Government of the Tuileries has remained designedly aloof from all conciliatory correspondence with Portugal, after having been principally instru mental in embroiling its inhabitants. Inuendoes are prevalent that Queen MARIA will wince her indignation at the recent battle of St. Übes, by denying the benefit of the intended amnesty to the popular chieftain, SA DA BANDEIRA. Heartily do we trust that her MAJESTY may display no such paltry or disgraceful inclination to gratify a revenge ful spleen. The conduct of SA DA BANDEIRA, though by no means justifiable on the ground of humanity, is certainly very conceivable in the then position of affairs in the Peninsula. lie acted with the inflexible decision of one who was guiding his insurgent coun trymen to the compensation of their many social and political grievances. The cruelties perpetrated by the military adherents of MARIA. had steeled his heart against compassion ; the democratic disturbances in the capital, where the prison of Li moeiro was broken open and the convicts liberated, had inspired him with a very comprehensible confi dence in the strength of the popular cause ; and the tardy but complete acceptance of the British media tion by the SOVEREIGN, assured him that the latter was aware of her own weakness. Actuated by these reflections, SA DA BANDEIRA was anxious to drive matters to a triumphant consummation. hence came the battle in question. SA DA BANDEIRA. was worsted, although not absolutely defeated, and rumours at once became prevalent that the Royalists were about to gratify their animosities to the insurgents generally by wreaking vengeance upon their distinguished leader. Call you this magnanimity ? Call you this, indeed, common decency ? It is assuredly not in accordance with the generous character of a cons tutional monarchy. ermany h as a monument to G UTTENISUEG, why have some s uc h commemora ti ve w iLti --- testimoni a l t o AN ICAXTON ? So h as th oug ht should not England Mr. B. H. MILMIN: and the setrlbt X lied itself in a letter suggesti on ar i s i ng f rom that generous reflectionha published by us yesterday , and addressed to Viscount MoarliTir. The docum en t to Which we to its directing especial attention is mo s t honourable are thus wr iter, and it is in itself a deserved tribute of h and gratitude to one of the noblest benefactors and pa triots of this our England—this << precious stone set in the silver sea." Earnestly do we express our obligations to Mr. MustAN for the beautiful project he has revealed to our fellow-countrymen, a project which happily occurred to his imagination in these cloisters from the vicinity of which the fir.t beneficent labours of the great innovator proceeded. .13eYond all question the grandest boon ever conferred upon this island was the introduction of Christianity among our idolatrous forefathers ; and beyond all questio❑ the most eminent benefaction after that religious blessing ever performed towards this nation was the introduc tion of the sublime discovery of Printing. AUGUS TINE and CAXTON are thereby entitled to lasting reverence and distinguished commemoration. Surely every one who can sympathise with the divine generosity and ineffable beauties of civilization will combine cordially and spontaneously in the erection of the proposed monument. Excellent, however, as is the suggestion of Mr. MILMAN, that the memory of WILLIAM CAXTON should be honoured by England, we cannot coincide with him as to the manner in which our admiration for this immortal man should be displayed. The hydraulic toys of Trafalgar•square have shown the absurdity of anticipating either elegance or splendour in the shape of a London fountain. No : we should be loth indeed to insult the illustrious memory of CAXTON by the erection of a squirt and a lamp-post. Let the monument be chaste in style, grand in proportion, durable in material, and imposing in its general aspect; otherwise the wish had better have remained unexpressed. A colossal statue would be the most fitting memento to WILLIAm CAXTON—accompanied, if you will, by a fountain of " living water" by day, and lights burning upon tripods or antique candelabra, by night. Such a monument would be worthy of him ; not a piece of misshapen masonry like the figure that once dis graced King's-cross, or the dumb-waiters that still disfigure "the finest site in Europe." Madrid Papers of the Bth May have arrived. The KING lives in a perfect state of seclusion in the Palace, where he is to be joined ere long by his younger brothers and sisters. The QUEEN, with her uncle and her sister-in-law, is at Aranjuez, and is daily giving proofs of the energy and determination of her character. Her MAJESTY is, it is said, in favour of an immediate dissolution of the Cortes. We find the following in the Tiempo on the subject of the recent alleged attempt on the QUEEN'S life : " On reaching the Palace after the detonations in the Al cala street, the Queen sent for the President of the Council, and apprised him of the occurrence, expressing the suspi cion that two firearms bad been discharged at her. This suspicion was next day corroborated, when it was discovered that the border of the bonnet she wore at the time was slightly burnt. During the conversation the Queen evinced the same composure as at the aliment the detonations took place, seemingly caring but for the great alarm of her uncle and cousin. It required most earnest entreaties to make her go to the circus in a closed carriage and with an escort. The inquiry into this affair has commenced, and the first re sult has been the arrest of M. Angel Lariva, an advocate and journalist. All that is known of his character and life renders the accusation a very improbable one. His conduct is re gular, his political opinions moderate, and he appears inac cessible to any sort of fanaticism. He enjoys, to the highest degree, the esteem of all who are acquainted with him, and they consider him utterly incapable of having de signed or executed the crime imputed to him. Yet some fatal circumstances are said to be adduced against him. It would result from the investigation that Lariva hal hired, on Tuesday, the coach whence the detonations issued ; that on the same day he fired some pistols at a shooting gallery, that he caused two of those fire-arms to be loaded with particular care; and that on his return from the shoot ing gallery, he stationed himself at the place where the de tonations took place. It is also said that a paper written by him has been seized, filled with sinister and mournful pre dictions, though without any visible connexion with the at- F tempt. We know not what truth there may be in all these 1 and the other rumours current on the subject; public curio sity, the exaggeration natural to our southern character, the very mystery of the affair, and the contradictory and irre cencileable circumstances between the fact and the presumed author of it, everything is calculated to produce more or lees founded comments. Justice will no doubt get at the trutb, for this is a crime affecting the honour of a whole nation." The Senor L ARIVA alluded to by the Tiempo is the editor and proprietor of the Clamor Public°. According to the Eco del Comercio, the Carlisti are gaining ground in Catalonia. BERET, the Carlist Chief, has notified to the QUEEN'S officers that if any more Carlist prisoners are shot he shall make reprisals. The Fomento of Barcelona of the 3d inst. states that the Mexican privateer Unico, mounted with one gun, and armed by 33 men, had captured off Ivica, and conducted to Barcelona, the three-masted ship Carmelite, Captain Edwin, coming from Ponce awl laden with coffee for Trieste. The Unico had sailed 34 days before from Vera Cruz.

We hare received the Paris papers of Thursday, General TREZEL, the new Minister at War, was sworn into office on Wednesday. M. JAYR arrived in Paris the same day, but has not yet been sworn in. He was at the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, accompanied by M. DUMON, who pointed out to him the principal Deputies of both sides of the House, for M. JAYR is so completely a " Provincial" that he knows not the leading political notabilities even by sight. M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE, who was a dead weight on M. Geizor while in office, seems likely out of office to prove a thorn in the side of the Minister. In the Chamber on Wednesday M. LECOUDRAIS brought up the report from the Committee on the Budget upon the Department of General Inspection of the Finances. In this report it was stated that in several recent instances the Exchequer had suffered in con sequence of the defalcation of the receivers of the re venue, and the reporter suggested a more stringent supervision for the future. M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE, construing this report into an attack by his former colleagues (M. LECOUDRAIS, the reporter, is a de voted partisan of M. GuizoT), immediately rose, and challenged M. LECOUDRAIS to produce a single instance in which such an occurrence had taken place. M. LECOUDRAIS was unable to do so, and the Chamber referred back this Ministerial report to the Committee for the purpose of having struck out of it these calumnious accusations against the fallen Minister. The Patrie says—" This afternoon, at three o'clock, an Aide-de-Camp of the KING went to the Chamber of Deputies, and delivered to the ex-Minister of Fi nances, M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE, a letter inviting him to go to the Palace at the close of the sitting." The Courrier Francais says that the Count DE JARNAC will go to Naples as Charge d'Affaires ad interim. The Committee of the Court of Peers on the im peachment of General CUI3IERES called before it on Wednesday M. PARMENTIER, who was under exa mination for more than four hours. At a quarter past six o'clock, M. PARMENTIER, on the termination of the examination, left the Luxembourg, although the summons for his attendance was a warrant on which he might have been detained a prisoner. The Committee adjourned till to-morrow. BOU MAZA, accompanied by Captain Ricuartn, has been received by the Duke DE NEMOURS. He expressed to his Royal Highness how sensible he wus of the hospitality with which he had been received in France. Two of the sons of DENDRSZ, Prime Minister of the Emperor of MOROCCO, had arrived at Marseilles, on their return from a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Government had ordered a steamer to be placed at their disposal to convey them to Gibraltar. Thursday (Ascension) was a holiday on the Bourse. The magnificence of the weather and the races of Chantilly had drawn away most of the spe. culators from Paris. One bargain only in the Three per Cents. was done in the Passage de l'Opera that day, and at a trifling improvement—namely, at 77f. 95c.

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Tho House met to-day at Twelve o'clock. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition from the medical practitioners of Birmingham in favour of this Bill. MR. MOTT, THE ASSISTANT POOR-LAW COMMISSIONER. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that on Monday, on the order of the day being read for the third reading of the Loan Discount Bill, he should ask the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Home De partment whether the appointment of Mr. Mott as a Poor-law Commissioner had received the sanction of the Government, and also other questions with respect to the offices held by Mr. Mott. The questions conveyed serious charges against Mr. Mott, which the Hon. Gen tleman specified. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER advised the llon.Gentleman to modify his questions, as it was not fair to cast imputations upon Mr. Mott in the shape of interrogatories. Mr. FERRAND replied that the motion which be bad read was simply an extract from a Parliamentary paper, which was laid on the table last week. Ho had merely adopted the words used thert in with respect to Mr. Mott. The words were not his. The matter then dropped. LOAN DISCOUNT BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved that the report on this Bill be received. Mr. FERRAND said he wished to have a pledge from her Majesty's Government that the Poor law Administration Bill should stand as the first order of the day for discussion on Monday, and that it should be taken first. It had stood first among notices of motions for the last fortnight, but it had been put off from time to time; but the Government had given the most solemn pledge not only to him, but to other Hon. Members, that it should come on for discussion before the other orders of the day on Monday; but he feared from what had recently taken place, for instance, the motion of the Hon. Member for Waterford (Sir W. Barron), which, after it had occupied nearly the whole night in discussion, was withdrawn at the request of the Government, and from the delay that had already taken place, that the Government intended to shirk the measure altogether, and consequently to avoid the dis cussion of its merits. It was a most important measure, and would affect at least 3,000,000 of the poorest class of the population of this country, who were now living on a diet which had reduced them to the most abject state, and if the fever which was now desolating Ireland was to extend its ravages to this country, he should like to know what would become of the poor, who were compelled to subsist on the diet which the Poor-law Com missioners allowed them, as it was a well known fact that the diet sanctioned by them was not sufficient to keep those who partook of it in bodily health, and he was anxious to have the pledge to which he badreferred from the Govern ment in order that the Bill be taken the first thing on Monday. Unless he should receive this pledge from the Government, he should consider it his duty, as an inde pendent Member of that House, to propose as an amend ment, on the order of the day for the third reading of the Loan Discount Bill being read, that it be read fur the purpose of being discharged, in order that the Poor-law Administration Bill should be at once proceeded with. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Hon. Gentleman had used a great deal of unneces sary violence in his address to the House. — (Hear, hear.) Ho cou'd assure them that the Bill to which he had referred would be taken on Monday night if possible ; and if the Hon. Gentleman would look to the notices of motion for Monday, ho would find that his Noble Friend, (Lord J. Russell) had a notice on the paper " that the Poor-law Administration Bill be proceeded with before the other orders of the day." Mr. FERRAND—Hear, hear. The subject then dropped. The report was then brought up, received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. TURNPIKE ROADS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BELL. _ _ _ This Bill was also read a third time and passed. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. Mr. P. HOWARD presented a petition from the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Carlisle in favour of the Health of Towns Bill, and praying for an alteration in the 26th clause of the Bill. MEDICAL REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. HAWES presented several petitions iu favour of this Bill. The Manse then adjourned. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XXXIII. GREAT NORTHERN' EXTENTIONS TO DEEDS AND WAKEFIELD. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock. Mr. BAINES, on the part of the Leeds and Dewsbury Rail way, stated that he was instructed, on the part of the land owners opposing the Great Northern Railway to withdraw their opposition to the further progress of the =alum. But stated, at the same time, that his chants were fully con vinced of the necessity and advantage of an independent ac , cess to the town of Leeds, and as they conceived that the proposed line of the Leeds and Dewsbury would afford these advantages, he claimed to be heard against the merits of the proposed Great Northern .clieine, should the Committee be of opinion that in consequence of the withdrawal of the opposition as to the proposed levels and crossings of the Great Northern Railway, that th a t li ne should be allowed to proceed with their case. Mr. Sergeant Witarionam, on the part of the Great Northern Railway, contended that this opposition having been removed, he was now entitled to proceed with his Bill. Mr. TALBOT, for the Midland Railway, opposed the re opening of the case. The room was then ordered to be cleared. Upon our re admission, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee were of opinion that a great waste of the time of the Committee bad taken place in consequence of the opposition not having been withdrawn at an earlier period, but as th e y conceived that the public interests were of paramount importance, they should allow the Great Northern Railway to proceed with their case, on condition that a plan should be deposited by twelve o'clock on Monday, showing definitely the mode by which they: pro - posed to meet the difficulties of their levels at the point of crossing the Leeds and Dewsbury line. The Committee then adjourned till Thureday next, at twelve o'clock. MR. GROGAN'S BENEFIT.—Grogan, the box book keeper of the Lyceum, who, for the last forty years, has been a faithful servant to the public, takes a benefit at the Lyceum on Monday, when we trust that those who have so often benefited by his civility in his time of health will not forget him in his time of affliction.—(Poor Grogan is suffering from the effects of a paraly tic stroke)—but rally round him In force. _ _e TRUE PRACTICAL FREEMASONRY.—The poor of Sherborne received, through the Lodge of Benevolence, a timely gift on Tuesday evening, when upwards of 700 poor families received a loaf each, proportioned to t heir families. The bread was purchased by the third part of the produce of Dr. Wolff's gratuitous lectures. The W. M. Bro. E. T Percy, attended at the Town-hall, and assisted by five of the brethren of the Lodge, distributed the brea d with order and regularity, by tickets, in about an hour. We need not say how gratefully, during the high price of bread, i it was re ceived. We understand the portion fo r Ireland s placed at the disposal of his Grace the Duke of Leinster, the Grand Master for Ireland; and the portion for Scotland at the dis posal of his Grace the Duke of Athol, the Grand Master for Scotland. Truly may we say of our valued brother, Dr. Wolff, that he is a faithful labourer in the vineyard of Masonry. SUPPLY OF SALT.—ST. MIES, MAY 7.—The stock of salt appropriated to foreign ships is reduced by late arri." vats to about 8,000 moys, or 5,600 tons, but there is a further quintity of about 10,000 moys reserved for the native ship ping: as these have no where to take it, ;Loa pf that titv will he distributed to foreign shins. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron ALDEESON Charles Brown, aged 38 years, described as a plumber, who was found guilty yesterday of uttering a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 228/. 159., with intent to defraud William Patrick Gray, was brought up to-day for judgment. Baron ALDEitsorr, in passing sentence, said that as the prisoner had not obtained any money by means of the forged instrument, and as he bad received a good character, he would not inflict the full penalty of his offence, and instead of transporting him, sentenced him to two years' imprison ment and hard labour. Lydia Bascy, a widow, aged 50, and Louisa Norris, a spinster, aged 78, were placed at the bar, charged, the former with feloniously uttering to the Paymaster-General a docu ment purporting to be a declaration and certificate of the identity of one Frances Laudon Guiltery, as the widow of one James Guiltery, and entitled, as such widow, toa sum of money as a pension, with the interest, to defraud her Ma:;esty - the Queen, and Norris with feloniously inciting, procuring, and aiding her to do so, and commit the said felony. The prosecution against the latter prisoner was not pressed, but the former pleaded Guilty. Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence, said, that the con duct of the prisoner was most culpable, and calculated, though he hoped it would not have that effect, of defeating the charitable inte n ti on o f th e G overnmen t, a nd indreing them to discontinue such pensions as they had heretofore granted. He would certainly transport her but for her age. The sentence of the Court was, that she should be imprisoned for three years, and kept to hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) This morning two young men, brothers, named Henry Farr and Char*: F arr , were b r ought before Mr. Broughton, for re-examination, charged with stealing a cash-box, con taining gold, Bank notes, and securities, amounting to up wards of 230/., the property of Mr. James Bird, landlord of the Mail Coach Tavern, Kingsland-road. The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner, Henry Farr, had been in his service as a potman for about three weeks, antecedent to Easter Sunday last; but he absconded on the afternoon of that day. The cash-box, which he had left safe in the cupboard of the bar parlour, had disappeared. Information was given to the police, and it was ascertained that the other prisoner, who had filled a similar situation to his brother in the Edgeware road, had also absconded the same evening. The wife of the proiecutor, whilst passing down Fleet-street, observed them both seated in a cab, and she called out to the driver to stop the vehicle. On hearing the alarm, the prisoner, Henry Farr, dashed open the door, and darting across the road, effected his escape, but the other was given into custody. From the statement of the cabman, it appeared that he had taken them up on their arrival from the country, at the Euston-square terminus, and they had with them carpet bags and a large bundle, well stocked with male attire. City police-constable Smith, 337, searched the prisoner, and ,found in his possession three sovereigns and a quantity of silver, amongst which was a sixpenny piece, marked in a peculiar manner, which was afterwards shown to the prosecutor, who at once identified it as having been stolen, with the cash-box, at the time in question. The other prisoner was traced to Carey-street soon afterwards, and taken into custody. The prosecutor was enabled to prove that the prisoners had changed one of the notes at the railway station. The prosecutor stated that, since the last examination, he had received letters from two individuals, who could not at- tend that day, who stated that they had been robbed in a similar manner by the prisoners, and one of them to the tune of about 1801. Mr. BitouGllToN remanded the prisoners for a week, in order to give time for the production of the other witnesses. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—FRIDAY. Business, in the aggregate, was flat, but it did not lack importance, inasmuch as it once more had the effect of re versing the positions of the two Danebury favourites, and brought Mr. Greville's Mirmillo from the extrema outside to 20 to 1, taken freely in good quarters. This was the only change worth especial notice in the Derby betting; that on the Oaks was limited to two or three mares, and resulted in a marked improvement in El'create, and a further decline in the Farmer's Daughter, on whom no one seemed disposed to invest at any price. '['he last quotations were as follows : DERBY. 2 to 1 agst John Day's lot—taken to 600/. 7 to 1 agst Kent's lot—taken to 1001. 5 to 1 agst Mr. Pedley's Cossack—taken 6 to I agst. Sir I:.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the noblemen and gentlemen members of the Royal Yacht Squadron of England, was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of electing a Commodore, vice the Earl of Yarborough, deceased, to audit the accounts of the club, &c., and to complete the arrangements of the grand regatta at Cowes, Isle of Wight, in August next. Among other noblemen and gentlemen present were the , Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Buccleuch, Marquis of Ormonde, Marquis of Bland ford, Marquis of Conynghatn, Earl of Wilton, Earl of Tyrconnel, Viscount Exmouth, Viscount Seaham, Sir B.

The Marquis of DONEGAL, Vice-Commodore, was unanimously called on to preside; and on his taking the chair, briefly opened the business of the day by making a few preliminary remarks explanatory of the nature of the meeting - .. The Noble Chairman having been elected Commodore of the Squadron, The ballot for members and honorary members took place. • A grant of 2001. was then voted towards the erection of a monument or land-mark to the memory of the late Right lion. the Earl of Yarborough, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. This, with the subscriptions already received, will rendee the amount of fund col lected about 1,1301. A series of resolutions having been proposed, seconded, and adopted, the customary vote of thanks was presented to the Noble Commodore. The Marquis of DONEGAL, in an appropriate speech, briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAY 13.—This day's bulletin is as follows : " His Excellency passed a quiet night, and feels somewha' stronger this morning." THE CROPS.—A. letter from Alexandria of the 28th ult., states that the corn harvest in Upper and Middle Ee.ypt had been got in, and that the produce is very abun dant. The Viceroy, says the writer, estimates that there will be about 4,300,000 hectolitres of corn for exportation aboitt the month of July, at the rise of the waters of the Nile. —A Vienna letter of the sth represents the growing crops throughout the Austrian States to be in the most promising condition, bet the potatoes have not come forward, and maize has in many parts been substituted for that tubercle. This corn brings a retui n of from eighty to ninety fur every grain sown. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BETIINAL-GREEN.— Last night, shortly before eleven o'clock, the inhabitants residing in the immediate vicinity of the Bethnal-green-road were aroused fret's their slumbers by cries of "Fire 1" and the springing of policemen's rattles, which for some time caused the utmost confusion in the neighbourhood. In the space of a few minutes flames were to be seen issuing from the premises belonging to Mr. W. Miller, cabinet and musical instrument maker, carrying on business at No. 5, Fuller street, in the above-named thoroughfare. The inmates at this time were perfectly unconscious of the disaster, but having been apprised of it, they made an attempt to ex tinguish the flames, which were then raging amongst the stock, by pouring buckets of water upon them. Owing, however, to the firm hold they had previously obtained, they defied the exertions of all present ; and Mr. Aliller,e who had entered the back workshop, was so overpowert: sbuybdthuee heat that he nearly lost his life in erideav g the flames.

ALARMING FIRE AT TRINITY COLLEGE, CAM BRIDGE. — CAMBRIDGE, FAIDAY.—Last night the town of Cambridge was thrown into a state of the utmost alarm and confusion by the sudden outbreak of a fire, which at one period threatened destruction to Trinity College. The flames originated from some cause which cannot at present be ascertained, in the kitchens belonging to the college, and were, it appears, first discovered by Mr. Hudson, the cook. At that time they had obtained such a strong hold, that it at once became apparent that the fire would not be easily extinguished. The necessary intelligence was promptly forwarded to the proper authorities, and assistance having been obtained, every person set to work most vigorously; but, notwithstanding, the flames continued to spread fear fully, and a deal of time was lost before any impression co uld be made upon them. The water was judiciously scattered over the burning property, which at length had the desired effect of cemquering the destructive element. By that period the roof of the kitchen was burned off, and considerable da mage was done to the interior of the premises. The pro perty is insured in the Sun Fire-office for, it is understood, 10,000 i. The exact amount of the damage done is at present unknown ; but, had the lire not been so oppor tunely discovered, the loss would, d ou btl ees , h ave been most serious. It is impossible to describe the excitement and con fusion which prevailed upon the first outbreak of the fire. The report at first was, that th e w h o l e o f t h e co ll ege was enveloped in flames. COLCHESTER.—Mr. D. W. Harvey visited this town on Saturday last, and called upon a number of his elec tioneering friends. A report is prevalent that he has still an itching to become one of the borough representatives again ; and is willing to resign his office of Police Commissioner provided his return to Parliament can be ensured. FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD. — Yesterday the bakers throughout the metropolis made a further advance "of one halfpenny and one penny in the price of the 41b. loaf.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI7'Y, QUARTER TO THREE. There was more activity in the Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday, and it is a good sign that the trade were the buyers, taking 7,000 bales, or nearly that quantity. We hope this is the consequence of greater activity in the manufactur ing districts. The sales of the week were 28,290 bales, and the decline in prices has, on the average, been 1 / B d. per lb. The stock is 318,410 bales, against 781,430 bales at this time last ycar. Railway Shares were rather flat. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., went off without spirit, and prices remain un altered.

Sir Henry Pottinger intended to proceed from Graham's Town to Fort Peddie, in the Kafir 'country, where he would be enabled to judge better for him self of the' haracter of the nativeii. The Australian advices to Jan. 9, from Sydney, and Jan. 20, from Van Diemen's Land, state that the subject of immigration and transportation still occupied a good deal of attention. The want of shepherds was great, but still the introduction of convicts was objected to. The production of wool wai increasing greatly every year. The letters from America are calculated to allay entirely any apprehension that might be felt upon two points. In the first place we shall have liberal orders for our goods, and it will not pay at 106 or 107 to send out specie.
