THB SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITONS.—The anni versary festival of this society took place yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, and notwithstanding that 183 years have now passed over the society's head, earning for it the character for antiquity to which its name aspires, there was no want of youthful vigour in the proceedings. It must surely be a popular fallacy which historians have been at Such pains to preserve, that the ancient Britons wore driven into the sea by their Saxon conqaerors, and exterminated where the inaccessible mountains of Wales did not yield them a shelter. Certain it is, that last night they appeared in alarming strength, each wearing dauntlessly in his button hole the leek, that time-honoured badge of nationality which Captain Llewellyn compelled ancient Pistol to swallow. Lord Robert Grosvenor presided last night, in the room of Lord Powis, who excused himself on the ground that it would be painful to him to appear in public so soon after his recent contest for the Chancellorship at Cambridge. The Proceedings of the evening were of the usual character. The customary loyal toasts were drunk, and then came " Pros perity to the Society of Ancient Britons." which the company most warmly responded to. " The Army and Navy," and " The Principality There was Wales," were also among the toasts of the evening. ecipients et the Sore' was a procession of the children, the appearance attracted general bounty, whose clean and orderly te sympathy and appropati on , an d who sang with great t)ill l c e .de . appealing to the charitable feeling of their audience.

At the close of the proceedings a handsome cretary, and Wm com e they was announced by the pang separated highly delighted with the manner in which they closed the natal day of their patron saint, D gallery of the Freemasons'• halt was crowded Waivttl. The spectators of the festive scene, and if they could havleaddiiess: engaged their thoughts from , the temptati ons to share in the good things spread before tne company, must have enjoyed the spectacle of so excellent a dinner as that furnished by Mr. Bacon, the proprietor of the tavern. The other arrange ments were excellent, and altogether the evening pa sse d off most pleasantly. A correspondent says he has seen and tasted some Specimens of bread, made under the directio n of Mr. Wilkins, of Tworton, partly of carrot. Its flavour, he informs us, is as good as that of wheaten bread, and as the expense is much less, be thinks it would prove an admirable substitute.—Bath Journal. Sir David Brewster, Rev.

The Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to amend the law with respect to insolvent debtors, which was read a first time. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in answer to the Earl o? RIPON, said that he would lay upon the table all the papers relating to the affairs of the Punjaub. After certain questions had been asked and answered, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second read ing of the Llbouritig Poor (Ireland) Bill. Lord BROUGHAM would not oprche this act of in demnity, but he thought it should have ben proposed earlier. Lord MoNTEAcLE would not oppose the motion, but he thought the agreements for labour on farms should he left to be voluntary between landlord and tenant. After a few words from the Marquis of WESTMEATH and the Earl of ELLENDOROUGH, Earl FITZWILLIAM said that the people of England did not properly understand this question, and their present economy would turn out to be prospective ex- travagance. After a short speech from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Bill was read a second time. Earl GREY brought in a Bill to amend the laws re specting transportation, and also a Bill to amend the laws for the management of the Milbank and Park hurst Penitentiaries, which he proposed should be read a second time on Friday. Their Lordships then adjourned. The Commons net at Four. The New Zealand Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Lord Jons RUSSELL said that her MAJESTY had been graciously pleased to order the Lords of the Council to appoint a day of national fast and humiliation. In answer to a question by Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, it was stated by Mr. LABeUCHERE, that in certain instances in Sligo, Bd. a day had been paid to labourers on the public works, who, having taken task work, were unable to complete it ; but it should be remembered that the average daily wages of labourers in the county of Sligo was only 6d. a day. Mr. ESCOTT, in answer to Sir R. INGLIS, said that the Roman Catholic Relief Bill would be committed imme diatzly after Easter. Lord Jour; Russrm. said that the grant for education would be the same as last year. Mr. BAILLIE defended certain Highland proprietors from the charges which had been brought against them of neglecting the poor. Mr. ELLICE bore testimony to the great exertions of the Government, who had done all that it was in the power of any Government to do, to ward off the effects of famine. After a few words from Sir G. GREY and Mr. Ca.- LETT, the subject dropped. The House haring resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR a the EXCHEQUER detailed the ne gotiations into which he had entered for the pupose of raising the loan of 8,000,0004 The parties bidding for the loan were to bid so much money fur each 100/. Con solidated Stock. He had accepted one of 89/. 10s. for each 100/. The Right Honourable Gentleman con cluded by moving the usual resolutions authorising the 1 raising the loan, which, after a short conversation, was agreed to. The House then resumed. made by the Plenipotentiaries of Northern and Western Eul'ope in 1815, those two great divisions have since then perpetually regarded each other's movements with jealousy and suspicion. As in a compact body of water, wherever there is a depression on done side there is a correspondent elevation on the other, and the reverse ; so in the political movements of Northern and Western Europe there has been a continual oscillation. In those movements, arbitrary and constitutional Governments have incessantly striven to counteract the proceedings of each other, though hitherto under the mask of friendship, and the delusive guise of apparent compensation. Never until the year 1846 had either side perpetrated crimes so naked and enormous since the termination of the Napoleonian wars. And the cause of this open rupture is attributable to what ? To what ?—The question is plain; the answer is still plainer. The evils of this malign dissipation of the peace of thirty-one years' duration is solely, and wholly, and entirely attributable to the French Government. Clothe these occurrences with all that is specious in diplomacy, with all that is wily in Ministerial casuistry, with all that is in genious in argument and dazzling in eloquence— that is the one conclusion which can alone be arrived at. To the guile, the selfishness, the avarice, and the ambition of the French Government, the rupture of this protracted peace is exclusively attributable. And the lures which tempted that Government on to the commission of this great legislative sin—what were those lures ? Let us have a truce to all the trumpery delicacies of speech in reference to this odious breach of all that is ho nourably and really courageous. The French Government has blown to the winds of heaven the bonds of amity, the restrictions of justice, and the spirit of that illu,trious charter which in 1830 was sealed with the blood of her heroic citizenp. Let as then blow to the winds the paltry forms of conventional politesse, and speak a language that can be understood by all. Speaking that plain language— the language of truth—we aver that the lures which tempted the French Government on to the perpetra tion of this arch-sin against the constitutional liber ties of a free people, and against the peace of the en tire world, were these VANITY OF CAJOLING THEIR ALLIES. ll. THE CONSOLIDATION OF THB POWER OF THE ORLEANS DYNASTY. lII.—THE OPENING OF AN ENORMOUS MARRBT We insert to-day a long letter, headed " Small Measures for Ireland," which was addressed to us by a landlord in the county of Donegal. At this painful and critical period for that afflicted country—painful from the horrible destitution to Ilia millions are hourly subjected—critical, inas much as, according to the nature of the measures of a permanent character, which the Legislature may pass during the present session, will either the wel • fare of Ireland be placed upon a footing of progressive regeneration, or her miseries become aggravated to an almost irretrievable extent—at such a moment we hold it desirable that those who, by their landed pos sessions, must feel deeply interested in all that is now rivetting and absorbing the attention of every class throughout the United Empire, and who have been at the pains to consider what might tend to solve the perplexities, political and social, of Ireland, should have an opportunity of bringing their respective views under the notice of the public. The author of the letter in question, in the earlier portion of it, passes a warm eulogium upon, and herein only renders a simple act of justice to, a numerous body of Irish lar.dlords, whose conduct, in these perilous times, has entitled therd in every respect to patriotic commendation. On the other hand, the writer passes some very severe, and well-merited strictures upon the past improvidence, folly, and rapacity of an extensive class of Irish proprietors, who have recklessly augmented and precipitated " discontent, poverty, and outrage." He clearly in dicates that had their conduct beep regulated by the philanthropic spirit of " Live and let live," the pre sent disastrous aspect of Ireland would never have been witnessed. To the weak-minded and grasping policy of extorting heavy fines, in the first instance, from every moderate capitalist, who was inclined to invest his means in the cultivation of a farm of de sirable dimensions, to the extravagant prices at which the proprietary fixed their rents, is to be mainly attributed the number of small holdi n g s into which estates have been gradually subdivided, a system which, more than any other, has constituted a prolific source of the agrarian evils by which Ire land has, for years, been discreditably characterised. The farmer, in the vain hope of redeeming himself from the thraldom of the incumbrances incurred by the unreasonable terms which his landlord had im posed on his first taking the land, lent himself, in turn, to exact conditions, proportionately harsh, from those who agreed to take small allotments under him, till at last the cycle of selfishness being completely run through, nature is found in the end vindicating the original infraction of the principles of justice, and the deplorable result is evidenced of men and land being involved in one common ruin. Men, who might have been comparatively affluent, are seen steeped in bankruptcy by the wholesale; and the soil, which should have teemed with produce, lies fearfully barren. Mr. TODD recommends an imme diate abandonment of the system of small holdings. We have over and over again urged the same counsel, and we believe that the measures of the Government will be shaped with the view of gradually eradicating the existing diminutive and vicious division of land. Other suggestions are made by the above-mentioned gentleman, which are con nected with questions of the utmost gravity, and which would, therefore, demand considerable space to expatiate upon them with 'the 'ampli tude they would require. The propriety of im posing a tax upon abs e ntee s i s a que stion of this nature. It is one that has been mooted with great earnestness at different periods during the last three quarters of a century. Weighty objections have re peatedly been urged against the imposition of such a tax. But what cannot be done in a direct, may be, TO FRENCH MANUFACTURES ACROSS THE PYRENEES. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the House went into Committee on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, and the Bill was ordered to be recommitted on Monday. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Committee on the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was, after a short conversation, postponed to Monday next. On the motion that the House go into Committee of Supply on the army estimates, Mr. HumE objected to the increase intended in these estimates, for which he saw no reason whatever. The House was then addressed by Sir DE LACY EVANS, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, Mr. WILLIAMS, and Mr. BROTHERTON. After which the House resolved itself into a Commit: tee of Supply, when Mr. Fox MAuLE proposed the army estimates. Several votes were agreed to, and the House resumed. IV.—THE CONSEQUENT EXTENSION OF THB VIRTUAL DOMINIONS or Louis PHILIPPE. V.—THE EFFECTING OF A MORAL REVENGE FOR THE DISASTERS OF 1814 AND 1815, AND THE FINAL CATASTROPHE OF WATERLOO. VI.—AND, FOREMOST AMONG THE MISCELLANEOUS ADVANTAGES WHICH MIGHT POSSIBLY RE SULT FROM THE SPANISH ALLIANCE, THE OCCUPATION OF THE BALEARIC ISLANDS, AS AMONG THE APPANAGES OF THE FRENCH CROWN. Talk as they may across the channel in extenua tion of the conduct pursued by the Cabinet of the Tuileries, those are among the principal incitements to the transaction. And it is entirely upon this insane venture on the part of the French Government The Consolidated Fund Bill was read a second time, The Bill for limiting the period for enlistment in the army was read a first time. The House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. that have resulted the rupture of the entente cordiale, the dispersion of even all the appearances of cor diality, and the invasion of the Cracovian Republic. One among the Liberal nations of 'Western Europe has, therefore, for the gratification of its unholy lusts aided in the development of the cause of Northern Europe—a cause which is directly opposed to free dom and civilisation. To the French Government, then, these things are alone owing; but will the con sequences be as disastrous as might have been at first anticipated ? Our reliance upon the omnipotence of the spirit of Liberty, and our conviction that civi lization has exceeded the bounds of barbarian con quest, assure us that they cannot ulti:nately prove disastrous in diminishing the one and obliterating the other. From the shameless proceedings of the French Government may come a temporary shock to the power of the people. Northern despotism and eastern ignorance may at first be aroused to efforts injurious to the great and sublime cause of civilised nations ; but ultimately the reaction will produce more than a merely brilliant compensation. Already has that reaction incited the King of PRUSSIA to pay a homage tothe intelligence of his subjects in a manner unparalleled in ancient or modern history. And that reaction is being marvellously aided by the liberalis ing innovations of Pope Pius IX., innovations which must tend not merely to the subversion of Austrian tyranny in her Italian possessions, but to the enlighten ment and regeneration of the more southern terri tories. Despotism can no longer embrace an entire continent : its magical sceptre, like the wand of PROSPERO, is broken. A momentary retrospect as to the relative position and complicated intrigues of the Continental Cabinets cannot he altogether unprofitable. It may enable us to accumulate some additional confirmation of our original conjectures as to the motives which have actuated the presiding geniuses of those Cabinets in their nefarious and tortuous machinations. The time which has elapsed since the first development and final consummation of these occurrences is so far advantageous, inasmuch as it will enable us to take the matter into consideration in its totality. Our in tention is by no means to review the voluminous cor respondence laid upon the tables of the Legislative Chambers of France and the Parliament of Great t3ritain. The wrangling of hostile diplomatists has no peculiar fascination for us at this moment ; neither are we disposed to make any further commen taries upon the kidnapping of a Spanish Princess, or the larceny of an avaricious despotism. Already there have been sufficient observations upon the invasion of popular rights in the incorporation of the Cracovian territories with the enormous do minions of Austria, and upon the adroit interference with the constitutional privileges and national iberties of the Spanish population. So much has, ,ndeed, been written upon those infamous infrac- tions of the treaties of Utrecht and of Vienna, that we should be loth to refer to them again, otherwise than as the media through which we may estimate the future fortunes of Continental Europe. It is simply and exclusively upon the consequences of these mea sures, therefore, that we are induced to take a retro spect of such an unattractive character. With the consideration of those consequences is intimately and inextricably blended the consideration of the inten tions of the principal actors in these strange and al most unprecedented transactions. It is impossible to divest the mind of the notion that the marriage of the Infanta and the seizure of Cracow are bound together by a secret animus—that the former was the incitement to the latter ; that the latter was the compensation of the former. When Lisbon was engulphed by an earthquake, the subter ranean convulsion produced by that catastrophe tra velled noiselessly under the ocean and bubbled up in the hot-springs of Clifton. The almost simultaneous ebullition of these internal commotions of the globe tes tified t o hat there was an immediate co n ne x i on b e t ween occurrence 3, that they were either the simul taneous results of the same latent motor, or that the one was the exciting cause of the other. Precisely upon the same species of evidence it is obvious, as we have just observed, that the seizure of Cracow and the marriage of the Infanta were either correla tive or sequential. Notwithstanding the solemn engagements of amity 1/O_NDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1847. to a great extent, effectuated in an indirect manner, and we conceive that an efficient poor-law will ope rate advantageously in reminding absentees that pro perty has its duties as well as its rights, and in con vincing them that they cannot, with impunity, con tinue to neglect residing upon the estates from which their incomes are derived. With respect to the Irish fisheries, and a scheme of emigration, they are both of them subjects under the consideration of the Go vernment. Emigration to the North American colo nies, or elsewhere, must be a work of time, before it can be sufficiently encouraged to produce any sub stantial effect upon the surplus and unemployed labouring population of Ireland. For the present we must content ourselves with devising and pressing on measures which will he more immediate in their results. What is wanted in Ireland, is rather a judicious migration within her natural boundaries, than without. Reclaim the waste lands, destroy the small holdings, and transpose the tenants of the latter to become the occupiers of the former, would savour far more of sound policy, as well as be in better keeping with the interests of patriotism. Besides, with regard to emigration, it is ever found that those wbo are most inclined to embark for distant lands, are of the class the most desirable to retain upon their native soil. The revenue police of Ireland is at once an expensive and vexatious force. Happily, however, the develop ment of the principles of free trade renders the day not far distant when England, equally with Ireland, will be enabled to dispense with the necessity of maintaining these Treasury sentinels : cessante ra• tione, cessat lex. The remarkable contest for the Chancellorship of the Cambridge University was brought to a close on Saturday, when Prince ALBERT was elected by a majority of 116 votes over those given in favour of the Earl of Fowls. From the vast number of votes polled on either side, this memorable election must be regarded as highly creditable, not less to the nobleman who hts been placed in a minority than to the distinguished personage who has gained the pre ference with the sons of Alma Mater. Nothing could have been more graceful than the manner in which the Prince declined, in the first instance, to give his personal consent to be started as a candidate. It was, however, notwithstanding, perfectly and fairly open to those members of the Senate House to register their votes for his Royal Highness, who conceived that in the person of the Prince Consort they discerned most eligible qualities for filling the highest dignity which they are empowered to confer; and now that their wishes have been consummated, so far as the election is concerned, we doubt not that Prince ALBERT will accept the Chancellorship. The elevated and honorary office will, under the circumstances, be presented to the Royal Consort as a signal acknowledgment of his public and private virtaes ; and can, at the same time, be assumed by the Prince with satisfaction to all parties, considering the extreme delicacy with which he responded to the original requisition. The attempt that was made to invest the election with party and acrimonious feelings, has turned out to be exceedingly futile. It may be that a spirit of colle giate rivalry animated a few, more or less, as to which of the candidates they should support; but, we re peat, that a review of the contest, regarded in all its elements, cannot, and ought not, to result in a feeling of disappointment on either side. On the one hand, the majority is sufficiently substantial to engender sentiments of satisfaction to Prince ALBERT ; and, on the other, the minority must be esteemed highly complimentary to the Earl of Pow's, when, apart from the private virtues which adorn the cha racter of his Lordship's illustrious rival, fair allow ance is made for the attractive influences derivable from the enjoyment of the highest position which can be occupied by a subject of these realms. When public attention was first drawn to the proposal for electing his Royal Highness Chancellor of the University, we conceived there were some public reasons why it would not be altogether de sirable that the Prince should be selected to fill the vacant dignity, particularly as it appeared that the election would not pass off with unanimity. But, the contest having terminated in the mode to which we have adverted, our minds are chiefly relieved from the objections which we were originally disposed to entertain, and upon which we are, therefore, not now inclined to enter. It is sufficient to observe that obvious advantages are likely to be realised by both Alma Mater and the pub lic from the election of the Prince Consort to the Chancellorship. His Royal Highness cannot but feel a lively interest for the future welfare of the University. Both Oxford and Cambridge require to be extensively reformed in their academical insti tutions. The chief depositaries of learning in this country, they necessarily exercise considerable in fluence with regard to the education of the highest and most affluent classes of the community. For a long period past the system pursued at the Univer sities has not been commensurate with the require ments of the age. In the ecclesiastical as well as the secular culture of the human mind, in regard to morals, in the extravagant expenditure of the _youth committed to their supervision and control, and the needless cost at present incidental to a co ll eg i ate career, the Universities have fallen far sh or t o f t h e legitimate and a just a n d dis cerning public will become restless, unles s th ese b e efficaciously and promptly wrought. Per sona ll y changes are anxiously looked for, expectations of the cou n t ry . O rganic conversant with much, and, no doubt, by hearsay with more, of the superior systems, intellectual, liberal, and economical, which prevail in Universities abroad, Prince ALBERT, as the future head of Alma Mater, will become intimately acquainted with the defects by which our own are impaired, and, discover in g them with feelings of re gret, as he assuredly will, may efficiently i n t eres t himself in promoting the reformation desired. His elevated station will contribute much to strengthen his hands in so good a work ; and it is, therefore, in, this light that we are exhilarated with the belief that the consequences of the choice of Prince ALBERT for their future .Chancello r, will alike subserve to the interestsapnedrmtahnoesentofthe c ot of the University of C am b r i dge, country at large. terest, and wo shall have to pay both the principal and the arrears." The M. FORNARI alluded to above is the Pora's Nuncio, the protector of the Jesuits, and the petted of the Presse, who has just overruled the wishes of both M. GUIZOT and the KING, and prevented the appoint ment of M. HEBERT to the Ministry of Justice. Is France prepared again to see her Government taking laws from the parti pretre, as in the time of the restora tion? It would seem as if the days of the Corbieres, the Peyronnets, and Frayssinous, had returned. M. DUVERGIER DE 11AURANNE has laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies a Bill for electoral reform. He proposes that— "l. Every Frenchman in the enjoyment of his civil and po- litical rights, having completed the age of twenty-five years, and paying 101 francs of direct contributions, shall be an elector, if he fulfils the other conditions of the law. 2. If the number of electors in an electoral arrondissement does not amount to 400, that number will be filled up by adding the names of those who pay the largest amount of direct con tributions under 100 francs. 3. Besides these, the following to be electors ;—Members and correspondents of the insti tute, officers of the army and navy having pensions of 1,200 francs or more, judges of courts and tribunals, whether in active service or retired, titular professors of the faculties of law, medicine, and sciences, and those of the colleges of France and the Garden of Plants ; advocates of five years' standing, doctors of medicane after five years' residence in an arrondissement, notaries and avows after five years're sidence ; members of the Chambers of Commerce, of the councils of manufacturers, and of the councils efprudhommes, and members of the municipal councils of the capital of the arrondissement, or where the population exceeds 3,000. The Chamber of Deputies to consist of 538 members, which is an addition of seventy-nine to its present number. It is sup posed that the Government will oppose this proposition, ab initio, and endeavour to get it strangled in the bureaux." Orders hale been given to fit out the steam frigates Vauban and Eldorado, at present in dot k at L'Orient, with the utmost possible expedition. Two ships of the line, the Friedland and the Jena, were to sail for Brest from Toulon on the Ist inst. The Moniteur Parisien states that the interest on Treasury bonds is to be raised from the Ist instant to 3 per cent, on bonds which have from three to five months to arrive at maturity ; to 3i per cent. on bonds at from six to eleven months' date, and to 4 per cent. on bonds at one year date.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quiet, but steady, market for Cotton at Li verpool 3 estcrday. Sales, 4,000 bales. American realised to 7%d., and Surat 4%d. to 4 3 / 4 d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm, but not much was done. However much we may regret the perhaps unavoidable necessity which exists for a postponement of further reduc tions in import duties, but more especially in that upon Tea, it is at least consolatory to find that there are some indica tions of the progress of our trade with China, despite the difficulty at present existing in the obtainment of return cargoes. According to the last advices received by the overland mail, and which include a review of the operations of last year, it would appear that there has been a fair business done, and that there is a pros pect of an increase. , What it might be, however, under a more liberal tariff on Chinese productions imported here, it is needless to point out. According to the most recent information upoa China, col lected by the late Colonial Treasurer at Hong- Kong, that vast country produces tobacco, coal, saltpetre, skins, corn, drugs, silks, salt, marble, indigo, gold, tin, rice, hemp, sugar, copper, iron, tea, &c., and there is no doubt but that a surplus of these articles, under fair encouragement, could be obtained for exportation in return for British manufac tures. When we reflect that China has about the same number of inhabitants to each square mile as England, and that the most dense population is along the banks of the great rivers, which would serve as the highway of com merce, it is impossible to over-estimate the future importance of this market. Four hundred millions of human beings must offer a field for the exten sion of imports, even though their resources were far less than they are. From the returns made by the Secretary of the East India and China Association the arrivals of ship ping in the United Kingdom during the year 1846 exhibit an increase from China of 4,792 tons, and the departures to that country of 2,986 tons. With these facts before us there is every room for sanguine anticipations. The Stock market has been rather weaker to-day, but the sellers have not got it altogether their own way. The intelligence received this morning from Parts is considered to be in favour of the maintainance of amicable relations be tween England and France, but there has been no effect pro• duced upon the market by it.

The King of BAVARIA has commissioned Prince D'OETTINGEN WELLERSTRIN to form a new Mini s t ry , in the room of the Ministry which has resigned in con sequence of the determination of the KING to confer Crown lands and the title of Countess on his latest fa vourite, the Spanish danseuse, LOLA MoNTEs. There have been reports circulated that it is not improbable the Crown Prince may be proclaimed Regent, and the KING himself put under restraint as incapable of managing his own affairs, and it must be confessed that the KING has, throughout his whole career, exhibited more eccentricity than wisdom. Madrid papers of the 23d ult. have arrived. The Minister of War has laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies a Bill authorising the Government to raise 50,000 men whenever it may be deemed expe dient so to do ; and the Minister of Finance a Bill for a loan of 2,000,0001., at 3 per cent., with liberty to allo cate any portion of the public revenue that may be deemed expedient for payment of the interest. MADRID BOLSA, FEB. 23.—The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Stock Exchange, on the 23d, at 31 cash; the Five per Cents., at 20 c,ash; Coupons, 17 cash ; Passive, 6% cash. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. It appears that the differences between M. GUIZOT and Lord NORMANBY have been arranged through the intervention of Count D'APPONY, the Austrian Ambas sador, at whose residence they met on Saturday. According to the National, this arrangement was brought about by the intervention of the superior Powers. " The superior Powers," says the National, " have in terfered, and it is said that the affair is to be arranged. In the mean time Lord PALMERSTON pursues his course. The SULTAN'S Envoy, commissioned to summon the Bey of TUNIS to return to his allegiance, has arrived at Malta, on bo ar d an E ng li s h vesse l It is probable that an English squadron will accompany him to Tunis. It is now contemplated to act against Tunis as Egypt was treated in the year 1841—that is, a new treaty of July with the four Powers rgainst us. M. FORNARI has brought us back to the restoration, and England to the coalition. We are in a course of progress. Matters are not more favourable in Spain. Carlist bands are be coming more numerous, and considerable anxiety pre vails at Madrid, where a general insurrection in the name of the Pretender is every day expected. In order that no doubt may remain respecting our isolation, Lord PALMERSTON has announced to Count ST. AULAIRE that the treaty of the quadruple alliance no longer exists.

It would apperr that the man was engaged in a family dispute about lane, and it is suspected that he has come by a 'oul end. He has left a wife and family, but they are in rather comfortable circumstances,—KiMetiny Moderator. MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. Mrs. Deare admitted having made up a dress for the pri soner to go to a ball, but denied that she had ever given her money for anyother purpose than the supporting her husband and children. The RECORDER said, that in consideration of the imprison ment she had already undergone, and also of the good cha racter she had formerly borne, the sentence of the Court would be very lenient. Sentenced to six weeks' imprison ment in the gaol of Newgate. RORBERY.—John Connell, aged 27, described as a labourer, was charged with robbing from the door of Mr. Henry Withers, hosier, stockings to the value of 10s. The case was proved, and the prisoner sentenced to six mo:/ths' im prisonment with hard labour. John Williams, labourer, found guilty of stealing two pewter pots from the premises of George James, a licensed victualler, aggravated by being known as a common thief, was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. Several other cases of a like unimportant character were tried in the course of the day. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Robert Jenkins and James Williams, two persons having the appearance of respectable tradesmen, were placed at the bar beforeleir. Jardine, charged with attempting to obtain goods from Mr. Prow, tailor, 247, Strand, by means of a forged cheque. Mr. Prew stated, that yesterday afternoon the prisoners entered his shop together, and Jenkins asked to look at a coat, and selected one. Williams selected a pair of trowsers. Jenkins offered a cheque in payment. Williams said he lived in the neighbourhood, and wrote his name and an address (which has since been found to be false) on the back of the cheque. He (prosecutor) said he would send to the bank to get it cashed, but the prisoner said, no, don't send it to the bank, give it to me, as I am going that way, and I will call again. Be, however, insisted on sending to the bank, and sent a clerk there. The prisoners went away. The clerk returned, bringing word that there were no effects. The prisoner Jenkins returned in about an hour, and Wil• liams in about an hour and a half, and he gave them into custody. Mr. Wolf, who appeared for the prisoners, submitted that there was no evidence of fraudulent intention, and it was not at all likely that persons who had left a forged cheque in a shopkeeper's hands, to be sent to the Bank, would call again in an hour. Mr. JARDINE said that though the fact that they returned to inquire what had become of the cheque was in their favour, it was too serious a charge to be passed over without fnrther inquiry. The prisoners must therefore be remanded till Friday next.—Remanded accordingly. 3IARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) George Wilkinson was brought before Mr. Bingham, ' charged with going to the residence of Mr. Michael Tomlin son, 70, Berners-street, Oxford- street, with a false message, for the purpose of committing a felony. The prosecutor stated that at about eight o'clock last night a lad had called from the carrier's with a box, which was to go to Tooting. Complainant went into the hall to speak to the lad, and observed that lie had taken a great-coat from off the pegs, and had thrown it behind where he was standing. He asked him what he was doing with the coat, when he replied that it had just fallen off one of the pegs. lle the!. told him to be off about his business, or be would give him in charge. Shortly afterwards the prisoner camp, and said that he was sent from the King and Ship public house, in Ilegent-street, for a box which had been left by mistake. Knowing that there was no such house in that street, and thinking that the prisoner was an accomplice of the other boy, he gave Lim in charge to police-constable C, 40, and on searching him at the station-house, there were found in his pocket two latch and two skeleton keys, and a strong knife. The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was re. manded till ➢londay next. CLERKENIVELL.—(T HIS DAY.) Five respectably- dressed young men, named Milner, Green, Scales, Want, and Phi 11444, were charged with being drunk and disorderly this morning, and throwing stones at the gate of St. Pancras Workhouse, and causing a disturbance. It appeared that the parties, who were well acquainted with some of the subordinate workhouse officials, had been making merry at a public-house nearly opposite to the en trance, when, in an exuberance of good nature, they deter mined to have a cup with their parochial friends, and in pur suance of that resolution, went to the workhouse-gate and began knocking, shouting, and kicking at it until at last the uproar became so great that the police found it necessary to interfere. The prisoners, being pot-valiant, swore no police man should interfere with them, and the result was, a severe struggle, which ended in the five gentlemen being ensconced in the station-house for the night. Mr. COMAE ordered each of them to pay a fine of 55., and in default to be imprisoned for three days. Charles Blansgrore, a well-known thief, was charged with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Sherwood, boot and shoe-maker, of Calthorpe• street, Gray's Inn-road. The prosecutor's shopman, while sitting in a room behind the shop, saw the prisoner come in, snatch the hoots from a shelf on which they were placed near the door, and run away with them. Mr. Sherwood gave him chase, and after a sharp run, caught him near the end of Gray's Inn-lane. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Newitt, in the employment of Messrs. Pickford and Co" charged with stealing a bag containing tw o b us h e l s of peas, and William Fi:mer, who described himself as a baker's dust collector, with receiving the same, well knowing them etlfloercbea,r.stated that he ob served o s h e a r s g - e ea b n e t e n st Brennan, olen, were e p d l placed t a i N t , Newitt take from a van he was driving the bag above mentioned, and carry it into Filmer's house. The latter soon after made his appearance outside the dwelling, when wit ness went up to him and inquired concerning the bag. Filmer replied that he knew nothing whatever of what wit ness alluded to, and the latter might search the premises. He (witness) did so, and at length, in a shed, at the rear of the house, he discovered the bag in question. Mr. Paris, manager in the employment of the above firm, stated that the contents of the bag, the peas, corresponded precisely to the immense bulk of that commodity the company had in their possession. Mr. Paris, solicitor to the firm, attended to watch the pro ceedings, and the depositions were at length desired to be made out, preparatory to the prisoners' full committal for trial, and they were accordingly removed for that purpose. It was stated that a similar system of robbery had been carried on for several years past. LICENSING DAY. ST. MARTIN'S. A meeting of magistrates was held this day in the vestry rooms, St. Martin's, for the purpose, of granting renewal of spirit licenses. The maglsTratespresent were Lord Mountford (chairman), Sir John Annesley, and Mr. Graham. No objection was taken to any of the applications for re newals, with the exception of the house known as the "Coach and HorseF," in St. Martin's-lane, kept by Mr. Caunt. Sir J. ANNESLEY said that in consequence of serious com plaints which had reached the board respecting the mode of conducting the business cf that house, be felt it to be his duty to postpone the consideration of granting the license until the adjourned day. The board then adjourned until the 27th inst. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

LARCENY.—Mary Ann Brooks, aged 22, a simple looking girl, was indicted for having abstracted from the house of her master, Mr. Denny, a surgeon in the London-road, a cap and other trifling articles, which she had given to a person calling himself Lieutenant Player, of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, then and now a prisoner in the'Queen's Bench. Mr. Parnell was fur the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson for the defence. The case was so far singular, that the person for whose benefit the things were so taken, the Lieutenant Player i n question, was the very man who gave information to Mr. Denny of the larceny. After having given his evidence for the prosecution, he was severely cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, who endea voured t 2 make him show, by his own confession, that he had been " a bonnet" or decoy at a gaming -house; that he had endeavoured to obtain from certain tradesmen 3001 worth of watches; and that, in short, he was a person on whose word no reliance could be placed. Other witnesses having been heard, The RECORDER summed up in favour of the prisoner, and the jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

The prisoner put into Court a written defence, to the effect that Mrs. °care had encouraged her, by articles of dress and loans of money, to go to dances, and that to provide funds for this purpose she had taken the sums mentioned in the indictment. 284 77 P 28 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

The circu; c i, stance alarmed the inmates of the house, and hirg• ! A t te better not having returned, information was given l ai dd neighbours, with a view of making inquiry for her. It be stated that for some days previous Mrs. Leadbetter av ir g been exceedingly low spirited, and the fact of her a p in in ed the house on Friday eve n i ng , an d no t re t u rn g , uced th e connexion with the children's sudden illness, the whole family to suspect that something was wrong evening was spent in the village in a fruitless h man on the Mrs. Leadbetter, and towards morning a fisierd after some river Ribble went in a boat in search of her , n • er called time he discovered the body in that part of the river in the the Walton Salmon Fishery, lying about a yar d deep r. water. It was immediately forwarded to the house of iH Livesey, there to await a coroner's inquest.
