The accounts thus received add little to our previous in formation. From Washington we learn that on the 21 inst. the House of Representatives, by a vote of 115 to 48, re solved " that it is inexpedient to levy any duty on tea and coffee." The decision of the House was given without the slightest debate. The Sub-Treasury Bill bad come into operation. General Scott left New Orleans for Tampico on the 13th ult. Accounts from Tampico rumour that a large body of Mexican cavalry had been observed in the vicinity. The British ship-of-war Alarm, Lieutenant Mayo, had ar rived in the port; the captain had been left indisposed at Vera Cruz. From Rio Grande the accounts merely note the continuance of the movements consequent upon the changed plan of operations. The 3d and 4th Illinois Regiments, the Tenessee Regiment of Cavalry, and other troops, were either about to start, or had started, from Matamoras, ea route for Tampico via Moquete. The three regiments together amounted to 1,800 men. Great sickness existed at Meta mores. Several Americans had been murdered on the route to" Camargo and Monterey. From the latter place we learn, that on the 12th of December General Taylor would start for Tampico via Victoria, with one division of the army and a portion of a brigade. It was reported that General Urrea, with a troop of 6,000 Mexican cavalry, was at Victoria. It was reported, also, that Santa Anna had assembled a force of 28,000 men at San Luis. The chief, it is said had impri soned Ampudia, and other officers, on a charge of cowardice. General Wool remained at Parras, and General Worth at Saltillo. PRICE SD. Mexico had been again the scene of intestine disturbances. The State of Tobasco, resenting the neglect with which the Central Government treated the applications of the depart ment for assistance at the time of Commodore Perry's recent attack upon Tobasco, had issued a pronunciaraento declaring independence. Yucatan, also, was involved in disturbance. Campeachy had pronounced against the reunion of the department with the Central Government. Canadian journals to the 30th of December add nothing to our last accounts. Havannah advices to the 20th of December had been re ceived. They merely state that a Yucatecos steamer had managed to enter the harbour, in the face of the United States vessel.of-war cruizing on that ground, by hoisting the British flag. No, 16,958.

Grey by Mr. Collins, clerk to the magistrates of Saffron Walden, in consequence of a letter which Sarah Chesham (who is now a prisoner in Chelmsford Gaol, charged tinder the coroner's in quest with the murders of Joseph and James Chesham) in- trusted to the matron of the gaol to:post to Mr. T. Newport, farmer of Clavering, and which was forwarded to the com mitting magistrates, and by them to the Secretary of State's office, Inspector Shackell, of the metropolitan force, was sent down to Clavering to assist the local authorities in capturing Mr. T. Newport, and in the collection of evidence in the case. Mr. T. Newport was apprehended on the 15th instant, and on Friday last underwent an examination before Lord Bray brooke and Mr. Birch Woolfe on the charges of aiding and abetting Sarah Chesham in administering poion to Soloman Taylor, the illegitimate child of Lydia Taylor. From the evidence of Lydia Taylor, it appeared, that whilst she lived in the service of the mother of Newport, she became with child by him, and that he urged her to take drags to procure abortion, which she refused to do. A month after the birth of the child, Sarah Chesham went to see her, said Newport was a good-for-nothing fellow, and promised to call again. She did call again, in a month or two after, at the house of Lydia Taylor, and brought some tea, apple dumplings, butter, &c. She took the child up in her arms, when it became sick, and she said she had given it a piece of sugar. She then begged Lydia Taylor to call on her at Clavering, and bring the child with her. She did so, when Chesham said she would take the child to its father, and ran across a field with it. Taylor followed, andovertook her resting on a bank, and sa w h er put; something in ov the mouth of the child, the lips of which were smeared with what l e o ke k r. . , 01 , like ointment.

INUARZ. LONDOX, S N JANUARY 25, 1847. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The proposition which Lord J. Russell is to submit to the consideration of Parliament this evening has an inherent importance, to which even the magnitude of the present crisis can add nothing. The introduction of a mea sure of relief for the poor of Ireland concerns not only present interests and temporary exigencies, but the necessities of the whole empire for all time to come. The condition of Ireland is, directly, the condition of the British empire. No legis ative union can tighten—no Utopian separation could dis solve—that intimate and close connexion between the two islands which has been formed by the hand of nature, and consolidated by the operations of time. Where position and circumstance have done so much, it were vain for the wishes and theories of men to struggle against their results. It were as easy to change the geographical longitude of Dublin, as to untie that social union which exists and will exist be tween Ireland and England, independently of the wishes of the people, or the resolutions of the Legislature. Each year cements by closer fusion the twain branches of the Saxon and the Celtic stocks. Those giant ministers of civilization, steam and iron, deride with Promethean sneer the puny malice of faction and the antipathies of fear. Whilst our passions are the most excited, and our jealousy the most vigilant, terror and passion are found equally unavailing to keep those apart whom a higher Power than man's has joined by the contiguity of position and the bond of mutual dependence. It does, therefore, become to every thinking Englishman a question of paramount importance how that natural unity which already exists shall be best confirmed by legislative enactments, and that intercourse which can never be checked shall be carried on to the greatest advan tage of both countries. Hitherto the union has been local and geographical, but not substantial. Ireland and England have resembled nothing else so much as the dead and the living bound together by the fetters of a cruel caprice. The dead body has been convulsed with painful imitation of its breathing neighbour ; the living has drunk in inevitable cor ruption from the contagious mortality of its companion. But this must now be changed. The lethargy of centuries must be dispelled, and a vital warmth infused into the stagnant channels of suspended life. Ireland must be one with Eng land in the participation of her social and material, no less than of her political and constitutional privileges. England must be freed from the drag-chain of Irish improvidence and the contagion of Irish pauperism. At present, Ireland is paying the heaviest penalty for the past imprudence and shortsightedness of her wealthiest and most powerful sons. But she is not paying this by herself: England is mulcted for connivance at a great neglect, which time has developed into a great crime. The weakness or the indifference of man has given intensity to the inflictions of Heaven ; and England feels the scourge which has visited Ireland for the omission of duties which it was once incumbent upon herself to fulfil, and it is now in cumbent upon both to recognise. Celtic hunger mad Celtic fury are gnashing their teeth in alternate prayers and exe crations. The redundant tide of Irish misery swells with ominous din and increasing force upon the high shore of our cities and chief marts. Each succeeding vessel from the famine-smitten island brings a new cargo of wretchedness, clamarous for alms, and resolute in complaint. Bristol, Liverpool, Stockport, are thronged with this gaunt and fear ful immigration. In vain are the necessities of domestic want and the indigence of native industry pleaded against the obstreperous demands of this intrusive destitution. In vain is it urged that the first mortgagees of home charity are unusually numerous; that the English arti zan is working half time, and the English shopkeeper receiving half profits. Irish want and Irish per tinacity admit of no such reply. The dark and squalid throng that diminished wages have thrown upon the succour of parochial or private bounty has received a fearful augmen tation to its numbers in the dreary multitude whom a novel and unheard-of enterprise has landed in our western ports. Strange that the miseries of life should be coined into a trade; that the blind eagerness of a starving people, and the dismay of their richer neighbours, should be wrought out into a gainful speculation ! But what more forcible commen tary could be exhibited than this upon the two antagonist lines of policy which have been taken in two states of the same empire—a policy which has in one given to unexpected or unmerited poverty a perpetual lien upon consenting pro perty, and, in the other, has left it to the casual support of voluntary benevolence or the dangerouse license of an exact ing mendicity ? With such a state of things as this before their eyes, is it wonderful that Englishmen should look with feelings of curiosity, not wholly unmixed with jealousy, to the Ministerial plan of poor relief for Ireland? Is it wonderful that they should demand an equitable adjustment between property and its obligees in every part of the empire? Is it wonderful that they should insist on giving to the Irish the same privileges which are enjoyed by the English peasant? That they should expect a country which has a gross rental arising from land to the amount of 12,000,0001. a year to burden itself for the support of its impotent poor ;—that they should demand of its aristocracy such a provision as shall effectually mitigate the recurrence of a visitation like the present, and effectually prevent the shameful degradation implied in their wholesale appeal for alms to the charities of the more pro • vident people? And is it strange too, that, when they cal culate the awful effects which a repetition of such misma nagement and of such consequences must infallibly produce on a population of eight million beings, and of the baneful influence it must have upon English prosperity and English tranquillity—is it strange that they should watch with jealous scrutiny the policy of the Minister and the attempts made by the more powerful Irish interests to obstruct him in carrying out a policy, which past history and present emer gency prove to be necessary for the security of England and 1 the prosperity of Ireland? LCIIRONICLE.—One whose faithful performunce of his own duties as an owner of land, not less than his high per sonal character and honourable public services, gives value to his praise, said lately of the Irish landlords, in their present difficulties, that " they had conducted themselves in a manner which reflected the highest honour upon them." These are startling words. Our respect for .ny opio;oo ing from the Marquis of Lansdowne obliges us to con. sider whether we, and the . .pglisix..-eal.)lle...rrootsifyi 'may . not have done the Irish lendissialeeeesonee , irrjuntice. The Noble Marquis confined his remark to the " present trying circumstances." We shall keep within the same narrow limits. Let us try to forget, though but for a moment, that long and shameful history of past neglect and mis conduct which has no apologist. What have the Irish landlords done, under the pressure of the present calamity, to entitle them to such eulogy fyom an English statesman ? Let us try them fairl y . An objection meets us on the th res hold—" You must not judge of them by an English standard. They are poor and embarressed ; disabled from acting in concert by the prevalence of absentee ism. They have to deal with a peasantry wretched and helpless to a degree unknown in England ; and there is not, as in Englan d, a middle class to share their efforts or their burdens. It would be most unfair to try them whom We will not tr by an English standard." Be it _seor.e is V a class wit?: them by an English standard . But there they may be fairly compared. The Western Highlands of S co tland are inhabited by a peasantry similar to Ireland. Potato food, want of a middle class, impoverished and absentee landlords, are facts common to the two coun ill the conduct of the Irish p ro p rietors, in the pre senttries . V trying ry l ing circumstances, bear comparison with that of their Scottish brethren? In the course of last session an Act was passed authorising loans of money to landlords for drainage. We s ay nothing now of the policy of that Act. But when the first indication of famine appeared, the Scotch landlords proceeded to avail themselves of the means thus afforded for 'employing the peasantry. With what result? Sir George Grey tells us that they have hitherto got through their difficulties with comparative success. Only two deaths have taken place from starvation. There has been no waste, no ne glect of tillage, no demoralization of men working in gangs upon the roads. Look to Ireland. An Act was passed autho rising each barony to employ the poor who could not find private work, the whole of the necessary funds to be ad vanced in the first instance by the Treasury. Lord John Russell declared its object to be to stimulate private employ ment. Precautions, which anywhere but in Ireland would have been successful, were taken with this view. The public wages were to be fixed at a lower r a t e th an private wages. Public works were not even to be set on foot where private and profitable employment could be found f or the poor. At the same time the landlords, like those of Scotland, were enabled by the Drainage Act to afford such employment. How did they act? With one accord they flung aside the Drainage Act, and put men by thousands upon the roads, to be paid by the Treasury. It is now perfectly evident that this reckless waste of public money was incurred in the belief that they would never be called upon to repay it. Loans under the Drainage Act they knew must be repaid, but with respect to advances for public works Sir David Roach blurted out the truth at a Limerick meeting :—" They say we shall never be asked fur all this money we are getting." It was a good opportunity of easing John Bull of his superfluous cash. While this reckless system was going on, the land lords began to cry out more and more loudly against the un profitableness of what they were doing. The Government was charged with producing all the evil, because it was said that the landlords of a whole barony could not act together to find profitable employment. The Government, to take away all excuse, literally suspended the law, and enabled the landlords of a single electoral division to act together. But it annexed conditions which would have secured repay ment of the public advances. There was a momentary pause. The clamour then broke out afresh. The new plan was de clared to be as bad as the old. The Government was abused, and the money was drawn out of the Exchequer in fresh floods to be wasted on the roads. From first to last the ten dency of the course taken by the landlords was to relieve them selves from every burden, and to cast the whole weight of alleviating the public distress in one crushing mass upon the shoulders of the Government. When we look to the present frightful condition of Ireland when we see millions of money expended in destroying the habits of the people, in teaching them to look to Government, and not to themselves, for support, in familiarising them with pauperism and strengthening their tendency to combina tions—when we see under the form of law the dissolution of society itself advancing with rapid strides, we are compelled to ask the Marquis of Lansdowne with the utmost respect— If the landlords have so acted as to reflect honour on them selves, whose misconduct is it that has brought about these gigantic evils? Who are " the architects of ruin ?" We cannet even imagine a defence of the Irish landlords as a class which would not convict the Government of the most unpardonable folly and incapacity. We are satisfied hat that the Government is open to no such imputation. ex perience it had of Irish landlords, couldit not anticipate, ever in time of public calamity , t he reckless which they have exhibited. With English landlords or Scotch landlords the measures which the Government adopted would have work ed as theyte we e irntenduned to work, and even if they had defects, piva and voluntary zeal would have made up for them.

The toil of the Irish pea s sa a n re t, b es n 'e t are told, is languid and fitful and his wretched wage the natural reward of his wretched work. Yet the mine, and the railway, and the harvest field of England show that there are motives which can incite him to strenuous labour. Why not try upon this singular people, whom English Go vernments have hitherto found so wayward, and English employers so docile, the virtue of a system which, whatever be its faults, has the one uniform result, wherever it has been established, of inspiring men with a spirit of indefatigable industry? Now that an extraordinary emergency authorizes and necessitates a great reform, and when the existence of extensive improvable and long-neglected wastes present the means, why should not the occasion be taken to bring a new influence to bear upon the diseased social system of Ireland? There is but one obstacle in the way of so great a good. That obstacle is—the Irish landlords. CAMBERWELL-HOUSE LUNATIC ASYLUM. In consequence of the want of room and proper accommo dation for lunatics in the workhouses of the metropolis, and throughout the country generally, the above establishment, standing upon ten acres of ground, tastefully fitted up, was licensed and opened about twelve months since, for the recep tion of pauper lunatics, for whom the several parishes pay so much per week for their keep, clothing, &c. Il e asylum is built for 300 patients, male and female, and there are already 270 within its walls, under the care of Mr. J. H. Paul, the resident medical superintendent, and Mr.J. F. Reece, resident surgeon, exclusive of Dr. Dickson, the visiting physician. The system of treatment is quite opposed to that severe restraint to which lunatics were formerly subjected, and which, instead of abating, aggravated, and often confirmed permanently, the fearful malady of its sufferers. In Camber well-House, mildness, kind treatment, generous living, and the abolition, as much as possible, of all personal or bodily restraint, are the means adopted, and most successfully, to compose and sooth its afflicted patients, and to restore reason to its throne. During the day the patients are allowed to roam at pleasure, under the supervision of well-disciplined keepers, throughout the extensive grounds, and when fatigued from exercise, or if they wish it, they have large spacious halls, to which they may retire and enjoy themselves as their whims suggest. In the men's day.room there is a large billiard-table, and in the women's room a bagatelle board, with which they amuse themselves. Besides which there is a library well stocked with general and popular literature, and the several newspapers, but from the latter the slightest allusion to suicide is cut out, lest it might suggest the idea of self-destruction. Once a week, during the last few months, the patients have had a dance, in which the males and fe• males joined, one of their companions playing the violin, which he does remarkably well. The dance is invariably conducted in the presence of the medical officers, or of Mr. Gibson, the steward. This amusement had such beneficial effects upon the inmates, that the heads of the asylum re solved to give them a public ball and supper, which they did on Thursday last. On that occasion the gentry of the neigh bourhood were invited to attend. The hall in which the ball came off was most tastefully festooned with flags, banners, artificial flowers, &c. At one end, and over the orchestra, was a likeness cf her Majesty, with a tastefully decorated crown suspended above, and encircled with a scroll inscribed with the words, " Long may she live." The floor was hand somely chalked by the patients, who described upon it the royal arms, those of the Prince of Wales surmounted by the plume of feathers, and several other national devices. Shortly after seven o'clock the ball-room was opened to visitors, and at half-past seven the inmates, male and female, headed by the medical officers, and accompanied by their keepers, entered the room, and, having taken their seats, the musicians commenced playing the most enlivening airs, which afforded great delight to the patients, who evinced their pleasure by their gestures and their beating time to the music with their feet. The visitors and patients then par took of coffee together. The latter were not only ex ceedingly mild in their demeanour, but joined with the greatest earnestness in the general conversation of the evening ; and this, although there were amongst them men and women who were the most violent when they first entered the asylum, and some, who had even several times attempted suicide. Coffee over, the dance commenced, in which the medical gen tlemen and their ladies, and the visitors, had, as their partners, the patients. The correctness with which the in mates went through the several figures, and the mazes of the dance, was truly extraordinary. Having indulged in the amusement to a very late hour, supper was served up to the visitors and the patients, who, having done ample justice to the good things provided for them, the latter re tired to their apartments, highly delighted with the plea sures in which they had participated, and with countenances beaming with gratitude to those who so kindly afforded them an opportunity of enjoying themselves. The visitors were astonished at the pleasing spectacle which they had witnessed, and expressed an ardent wish that they would soon again enjoy a similar exhibition. Dr. Dickson and Mr. Paul assured them that they would, as they were fully con vinced that nothing was so eminently calculated to restore their afflicted patients to their senses and society, than such indulgences and relaxations. What a contrast to the bolts, the bars, the chains, and corporal punishment which were formerly resorted to, for the purpose of frightening (that must have been the object), insanity out of lunatics, although bitter and melancholy experience proved that such an iron-and-chain sytein had quite the opposite effect.— _Dispatch. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. We have received the — West India Mail by the Trent steamer. The reports of the sugar and coffee crops are en couraging. In every island, with the exception of Cuba, the crops are expected to be most abundant. The islands are generally healthy.

KINGSTON MARKETS. (14'rom De Cordova's Mercantile Inteiligencer.) Isio.kransactions or a speculative tendency have been in &feed y the approach of the Christmas holidays, and the market has been most unusually 4 .let co. year. This inactivity is attributable to the disinclination of dealers to purchase largely nuw, when it is confidently ex pected that the supplies will in a short time be considerably increased, and prices must consequently fall. This remark., however, applies more directly to flour than to any other ar ticle, as, if we except rice and pork, it is the only staple of which there is at present any quantity in stock. The ar ticles in most demand are butter, lard, hams, cheese, bread, cod oil, pigs' tongues, herrings, alewives, candles, and meal, ii which there is no doubt a good business could be dale. were the supplies at all adequate to the demand. e may notice that the retail trade is very buoyait„ as it always is at this season, but Lit is checked in a peat mea sure by the scarcity of most of the articles of every day's consumption. EXPORTg. SUGAIL—Coarse brown is very plentiful, and may be ge nerally obtained at from 18s.

The accounts f rom the manufacturing districts report very favour ably of the prospects of the 1847 crop, and it is expected that there will be larger " taking off " than there has botn for some years past. It is impossible, however, to hazard an opinion as to the probable quantity which will be actually manufactured. In some parishes it is rumoured that the al most hopeless competition which he has before him will induce the planter rather to permit the canes to perish in the earth than yet further to risk his limited means in attempts to overcome the difficulties by which he is surrounded.

She drew 17 feet when she struck, but the pilots expect there will not at the spring tides be more than seven feet where she sits. The rocks outside break the sea, so that it has very little effect on her. She sits quite upright, and a stranger not aware of what had happened, would not take her for a wreck.

The gloom whish hung over the market on Tuesday continues unabated. The decline in the value of cotton at Liverpool has appa- rently destroyed the confidence of buyers in the prices of goods and yarn, and they are unwilling to operate, even at. a reduction of quite equal to the decline in cotton.

REDUCTION IN THB PRICE OF BREAD.—On Saturday, for the first time during the past eight or ten weeks, the price of bread underwent a general and consider able reduction, with, however, some variations in different (inlaid' of the metropolis. In the western parishes the price oldie best four-pound loaf is II d., and that of the household qua liby 9 1 / 4 d. In the neighbourhood of Drury-lane the price is without exception 101/ a d. best, and 9d. inferior; and in Southwark and Lambeth from 104 2 d. to 84d., and in some instances as low as 7 1 ( 2 d. FIRE IN LEATHER-LANE.—Last evening, between five and six o'clock, a fire was discovered upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. Wymer, a bread and biscuit baker, No. 70, Leather-lane. The flames originated in the bake house on the basement, which contained a large quantity of shavings for heating the oven. Owing to their inflammable nature it was found impossible to extinguish the flames with out the assistance of the engines, which, however, speedily arrived ; and an abundance of water being at band, the fire men succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the building in which they originated. Considerable damage was done to the stock-in-trade and premises. Mr. Wymer is insured in the Phccnix. DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A NEWSPAPER MES SENGER.—As a mounted messenger was on Saturday even ing riding at a furious pace with a large parcel of newspapers for the Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, his horse slipped at Temple-bar, and he fell with fearful violence to the ground. When raised up he was quite insensible, and blood flowed profusely from injuries which he had sustained about the head. his wounds having been bound up in an adjoining surgeon's, and the requisite stimulants administered, he was conveyed to his home in a state of the most intense suffering. ACCIDENT AT THE LIVERPOOL AMPHITHEATRE. — On Nlonday night a man in the gallery of the Amphitheatre, who had left his place during one of the acts, missed his footing _while endeavouring to spring into his former seat, was precipitated over the railing into the pit, a depth of at least thirty feet, and fell upon two ladies. The bench upon which they were sitting was split, but, marvellous to relate, with the exception of a few bruises, the man and the ladies were, we believe, uninjured. —Liz erpool Mercury.

CORN AND COALS.—It was mentioned by several of the coal•merchants in the City, on Saturday, that so great has the demand for vessels become within the last few days, to be employed in importing corn from America, that it is almost impossible to get vessels for any other purpose, and under no circumstances except at enormous rates, It was added that a large number of vessels hitherto employed ex clusively in the coal trade have been engaged to sail for New Orleans with all possible dispatch. But for the scarcity of shipping the coal-merchants say that the prices would, in a few weeks, have undergone a great reduction—most pro bably to their usual price of from 28s. to 30s. per ton. The quantities at the coal-pits in the North of England, ready to be sent to the London market, are immensely great, and every exertion is making by the coalowners to get them forwarded to the metropolitan market. It was stated 90 Saturday that some hundreds of colliers are anchored in. time lower parts of the Thames, a :waiting a favourable wi d t proceed up the Pool. oNGST DIS DISTRIBUTION OF ABOVE 700/.

WRECK OF THE GLENLYON OF PERTH,—Some time ago we noticed the loss of this vessel at Salt Creek, in the Bay of Honduras, on the 9th of October last. The second mate, James Oliver, arrived here on Thursday, having come to Cork in the Prince Llewlellyn, of Liverpool. He states that the vessel was driven ashore from her moorings by One of the most dreadful hurricanes that had happened in that quarter for many years. After the vessel was stranded, the crew remained on board, the most of them nearly naked, for twenty-four hours, till, the storm abating; they got on land by means of a rope. During the hurricane the clothes of the crew wire washed ashore, and on the landing of the' second mate, the only person he perceived was ,an Indian dressed in his bonnet and jacket, who betook himself imme -1 diately to the woods. The crew, ten in number, -were ex posed to a deal of privation after the disaster—so much so that only three remained alive, two of whom were sent to Belize in a sickly condition. The master, Forsyth„ a native of Dundee, died shortly after he landed, and the mate, who', had embarked for Cork on board the Prince Llewlellyn, died two days before her arrival at that port.—Dundee Advertiser: NINETY-YMT : I RALE.
