O'Connell himself is, gradually, assuming, more and more, the character of a failure. As for the Whigs, they have long been synonymous not merely with failure, but with all that is most discreditable to public men. When the day shall arrive in which the " holy alliance" between O'Con nell and the present Ministers shall be dissolved—(and that day cannot be far distant—the next general election ushers it in)—the p u bli c may hope to be en li g h tene d by some curious discl osures as to the history of these various " agitations"—from the ag i tat i on a b out t h e a pp r opriation clause, down to th e l ast ag i tat i on in favour o f a R epea l o f the Union. Me anw hil e, let the coarse, crouc hi ng, trea cherous mendic an t d o hi s worst, Whatever may b e hi s course, he will find himself over-matched. He lacks courage to be a rebel ; and nothing short of successful rebellion can save him and his Ministerial confederates from the gulf that yawns to receive them 1 (From the Morning Post.) It is not a little painful to find that even the least disre putable among the partisans of the present Government do not hold them se l ves a b ove the disgraceful stratagem o f exciting odium ag a i nst L or d Stanl e y ' s B ill by a delibe rately false account of its nature and intent i on. Th ey call it Lord St an l ey ' s Bill for restricting the franchise of the Irish peopl e . N o one can look at the Bill x ithout per ceiving that thi s i s false. From the p re an:ble, which asserts the exp e di ency of amending the registration of voters in Ireland, to t h e very last word of the Bill, th ere is nothing to b e f ound in it which touc h es t h e fran chise. The measure relates wholly and solely to the registration of those who have the franchises, cr any one of them, which were defined and established by the Reform Act. It is really monstrous that this plain state of the case should be so perverted, even by persons who profess, generally, some regard to truth and honesty. No one can deny the fact that, owing to the system of registration now in existence, many persons vote who have not any of the franchises defined and established by the Reform Act. To remedy this abuse is the object of Lord Stanley's Bill. WILTS.—The last eight weeks have been dry and cold, highly favourable to the working of the land, and equally prejudicial to vegetation. Some addition has been made to spring-sown wheat. Beans, peas, and oats arc put in well. Barley sowing is not so forward as the fineness of the season would lead us to expect, many persons objecting to sow while the weather con tinues so frosty ; the land is now very dry, and what remains to be sown will not come up evenly. Wheat, where it was sown early, in sheltered situations, or on highly cultivated soils, is strong and healthy, and we think about half of the entire breadth sown is of this description ; but the late sown, that in bleak situations, or on the wet sandy soils, or such as is in a bad state of cultivation, is looking very bad for such, and the spring-sown wheat, the weather has been particularly unfavourable, and leaves but little probability of its com ing to an early harvest, or an average crop. Winter vetches are nearly all destroyed by the frost ; of trefoil also but little is left, and the other grasses are much injured, which makes against the prospect of a crop of hay. Sheep arc generally poor; the breed of lambs rather deficient ; keep scarce—hay getting dearer.— Independent. WEST SOMERSET.—Throughout the past month we have had cold dry weather, with sharp frosty nights, which have been of great service in pulverising the land recently broke up for spring corn. We never remember having a better season for tilling beans and oats, and barley goes into tho ground in excellent con dition. Our wheats (particularly the late sown) want ram very much. The country everywhere presents an unusually barren appearance. Our Swedish turnips are nearly all consumed, and the winter tares are shock. ingly backward. Sheep, in many places, are almost in a state of starvation, and the owners drive them from one market to another without being able to dispose of them at almost any price. At many sales which have taken place within the last fortnight, good cou ples of ewes and lambs have been sold at from 255. to 30s. per couple. The sale of lean bullocks within the last month has been rather dull, although prices have not much receded ; this dulness may be attri buted to the general backwardness of the season and the high price of hay, which is now selling at 4/. 10s. per ton, and taken by water into Wales, where it realizes 71. per ton. Fat sheep are got very scarce, and the best wethers are worth 'Ll j d. to Bd. per lb, ; lamb comes to market rather thin, the best quarters are sold at Os. to 10s. each ; fat bullocks, of which we have a moderate supply, are worth 10s. to 106. 6d. per score. Our corn markets continue steady, and have varied hut little in price for some months past ; the best wheat is worth 10s. per bushel ; malting barley, 6s. ; beans, 6s. ; oats, 3s. per bushel. The wool trade still remains in the same languid state. Dorset horn and Southdown from lad. to 14d., Knott 12d. to lad. per lb. Pota toes are rather scarce, and arc selling at 6s. per bag of 1601bs. Good family cyder is worth 50s. per hogshead ; the late frosts and cold winds will in all probability prove beneficial to the next crop of apples. We can hardly give an opinion thus early, still the orchards pre sent a favourable appearance for the grower.—Bristol (From the Morning Chronicle.) The Bishop of London's speech at Chelmsford, on which we commented the other day, contains a statement too important and timely to be overlooked. The Right Reverend Prelate very justly describes the uselessness of what is called Church Extension, if it be not preceded by popular education. " When," said his Lordship, " new churches wore built, they would be of comparatively little use if the rising generation were not brought up in the principles and doctrines of Christianity, as taught by the Church." Undoubtedly, without a previous religious education, the proposed new churches will be of little use ; and without any previous educa tion, the probability is, that they will be of no use at all. The motion, therefore, of which Sir Robert Inglis has given notica, for a grant of public money to build new churches, is shown by the Bishop of London's most un questionable statement to be altogether premature. The brick and mortar would be a wanton waste till the rising generation be better instructed. The grossly ignorant cannot profit by clerical ministrations, nor will they attend to them. " Building the walls" is, as the Bishop convinc ingly argued, a subordinate endeavour to that of attempt ing "to furnish them with persons to fill them." And that can only be done by the general diffusion of educa tion. Apart, therefore, from all objections arising out of the diversity of Theological opinions ; apart from all the sacred civil rights of Protestant Dissenters and Roman Catholics; taking the question only on the narrowest epis copalian ground, church extension is no better than a job, until it is preceded and prepared for by national education. (From the Times.) Our language has for years expressed the strongest dis satisfaction at the successive insults received by the Bri tish flag, and at the plans of aggression upon our rights, or encroachment upon our commercial or territorial interests, deliberately and systematically prosecuted by rival States course of policy to which they were encouraged, as we have always felt, by the tameness under injury, and slowness to resent, exhibited by the Melbourne Cabinet. We have habitually urged a vigorous tone towards unfriendly Governments, not as leading to warfare with them, but as directly tending to prevent it, by teaching them the practical disadvantage of deviating from a course of amicable and respectful dealings with Great Britain. Invariably we have said there is no need of positive war for our secu rity. But there is much need of averting war, by the display of a bold and resolute front to all the world, by such remonstrances and threats, and assurances of the readiness of England to vindicate herself, and in support of such assurances by a system of military and naval ar mament so effective, as shall carry home the conviction to sutrounding states that they can never offend the British empire with impunity. Mercury. BIRMINGHAM.—The weather during the week has been beautiful. On Sunday it raine a gentle rain during the entire of the day. Yesterday the wind veered to the eastward, but the day, though cold, was still very pleasant. In every part of the country, as we sec by the reports, the weather has been equally pro pitious, and the showers also seem to have been universal. .. ...,7. ,--......_ .••• .''

At our market this morning we had a very large delivery of wheat from the growers, and for two or three weeks yet we anticipate pretty stiff supplies from them, as provision will be re quired for the rents falling due next month ; but as many of our small farmers will by that time (and upon them we mainly depend for a regular supply) be sold out, supplies, as a natural consequence, must de crease, and as the consumption for the next three months is generally greater than at any other period of the year, from potatoes becoming scarce (and which exercise so important an influence on the bearing of the corn trade when they are in plenty), we see no reason to apprehend any serious decline upon present prices, even should the supplies from the Continent prove larger than are at present anticipated, which they are not likely to be, as France will require a large quantity for her internal consumption. In consequence of the flat accounts received from Mark-lane, Liverpool, and Wakefield, combined with some of our millers having reduced the price of flour to 50s. per sack, prices of the best native wheat declined fully 2s. per quarter to-day, whilst at the same time inferior sorts, of which the great bulk of our supply consisted, was difficult of disposal, although a still greater reduction would have been submitted to, to have effected a clearance ; prime south country samples, on the contrary, were held with much firmness for last week's prices, but, owing to the dull state of the flour market, our millers were unable to comply with the terms demanded ; had the factors, however, been willing to accept a decline of 2s. per quarter, some business might have been done. In the early part of the week flour was a dull sale, and some sales were pressed at a decline of Is. per sack ; but owing to the shipments from Norfolk being likely to cease for the present, this article was held with more firmness to-day. Our present quotation for households is from 51s. to 525., with few sellers at that money. Rye meets a fair retail demand at our currency. Fine barley is extremely scarce, and anything extra would freely command our top quotation, such an ar ticle being wanted by our maltsters to close the season with. Malt dull and out of all proportion to the price of barley. Peas and beans meet a slow sale, but for the former article we expect more demand shortly, owing to the potatoes going out. We had a good supply of oats from the country, for which we expe rience a good demand at last week's price, and the same remarks will apply to the best qualities of ship corn, other sorts being difficult of disposal. The only altera tion in the duties this morning is a decline of Is. 6d. per quarter on beans. In bond, 10th April, wheat, 3,404 ; rye, 853 ; barley, 466 ; oats, 31 ; peas, 20 ; beans, 528. WIIITELIA.VEN.—We have had another week of ex ceedingly fine genial weather. Vegetation is progress ing most favourably, and the husbandman is pursuing his labours with great success. Swallows were seen on Tuesday last in the neighbourhood of Egremont. These are the first we have heard of in this vicinity this season.—Herald. MAIDSTONE.—Most of the wheat fields have im proved since our last, and the peas and beans in strong grounds begin to show favourably. All crops, how ever, particularly the Lent corn, are much in want of those warm showers which are generally experienced at this period of the year. The same remark apply to the pasture lands, which are unusually bare, and scarcely furnish food for the ewes after dropping their lambs. The lambing season hitherto has been a very success ful one, but the want of feed now begins to be gene rally felt.—Gazeite. GLASGOW.—For two or three days we have had weather which might lead one to fancy we had suddenly reached the summer solstice, instead of yet being in the middle of April. The sharp easterly and northerly winds, with which the drought of the earlier part of spring was associated, have now been exchanged for balmy zephyrs. This, with the moisture of the late rains, has caused a strong vegetation within the last. few days. We mentioned, eight days ago, that farmers in this quarter, tempted by the favourable weather, were proceeding with the planting of potatoes. We learn that by some the time is considered rather too early, and that though ready to plant, they consider it prudent to wait the arrival of the approved period, about the beginning of May.—Chronicle. Conx.—Our accounts from the country districts re present every department of agriculture as in a forwar d and flourishing condition. The weather continues prc pitious, and the farmers have availed themselves of it to the utmost. Heavy and luxuriant showers descended yesterday and last night, with ;little intermission, and this day the sun shines out with genial warmth upon the fields and gardens. 'We understand that the quantity of early potatoes now in ground exceeds that of auy former year within living memory, particularly in the northern and eastern counties. —Reporter. The operations in the hop plantations are now fa vourably progressing in Worcestershire, and show, on the exposure of the roots, that from the long protracted wet weather experienced through the winter, many plants are quite dead, particularly in the old yards, whilst the young plantations are cutting and looking more promising than expected. The average, however, is much reduced, on ac count of the low prices hops have brought for several years past, which may augur brighter prospects t o the planter in future. From le a . nd many H e N r e o f t o w r t s h h s i t r a e ii the , t c h o e u a ccounts o a u r r e s v o e f r y m f K v o e u o r z a i h e ethers, we are not aware that any considerable progress has yet been made in the discovery of any satisfactory theory regarding the various phenomena which we call the weather. We would direct attention to some cir cumstances which may probably assist those who may conduct their inquiries on an extensive scale and in a scientific manner. The year 1825 was distinguished in Australia as a year of unprecedented drought ; to such an extent was it experienced, that many persons drove their sheep and cattle 200 miles from their ordinary Feature grounds, for the sake of obtaining for then) a eroper supply of water. Streams, rivers, and lakes dii- PRICE sd. appeared—not a particle of herbage could be found, ex cept in swamps and on the margin of the larger rivers, so that the whole country appeared a vast desert. The season of 1626, in this country, was distinguished in the agricultural annals by the want of even a single shower from the old term of Whitsunday till near the middle of September. Now, the drought last year was no less severe in Australia than that of 1825, and it has been followed by a drought in this country, not yet of so long duration as in l8:26, but, at the peculiar season of the year at which it has happened, not less extraordinary and unprece dented. What we would direct the attention of our readers to is the singular coincidence we have pointed out, and the importance of the results, of any properly directed inquiry which may be made on the subject. If the state of the weather in another hemisphere can afford any tokens of indications of the state of the wea ther here, it is clearly of the very utmost importance to have the matter distinctly asceillained. The effect of the dry weather on sonic of the processes of agriculture has been very singular. Every sown field has more the appearance of made-up garden beds than ridges of out-field land ; and so neatly has the land been done up, that it is, in general, as smooth on the surface as if it , had been subjected to the spade and the rake, in place of the plough and the harrow. Several farmers who have stiff clayey lands, however, complain that they have not been able to prepare their summer fallows. The land, in these cases, has been so baked with the diOtrgitt,. as to defy all the ordinary efforts to pulverise it.— Edinburgh Courant. PUBLICATIONS.

" Whe kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom ; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends net in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton. To CORRESTONDENTS.—" The Bible.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utmost importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall be attended to in turn, as we have reason to believe that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the contreversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. b, 1818.

This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God ereated man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning : it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore ollrows, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and conceivedi ; n, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CHRONICLE.—.The Consol market remained inac tive throughout the greater part of the day, the quotations being 90i to 91 for the Account ; but towards the close of the business, prices improved to 91 to This improve ment was produced from its being currently reported that the question of the Maine boundary has been settled be tween Lord Palmerston and Mr. Steverson, the American Ambassador. The statement is, that the boundary pro posed by the King of Holland is yet to be adopted as the basis of an arrangement, and that the state of Maine is to receive 200,0001. in name of compensation for ac ceding to this adjustment, and in consideration of the extent of territory within the line claimed by that state which will thus fall to be abandoned on her part towards the shore of the St. Lawrence. We understand that an Influent;al member of Congress from the State of Maine, who visited this country last year, expressed hirn..elf in such a way as gives reason to suppose that the plan of settlement above referred to would be likely to receive his support. Another rumour on the same subject is, that the agreement is similar to that mentioned in Mr. For.. syth's last letter to Mr. Fox, namely, the reference of the entire question to a friendly power not a reference such as that which was made to the King of Holland, merely to declare which of the lines claimed by the two countries ought to be adopted, but an unconditional reference of the whole rights and claims of parties, so as to invest the re feree with ample authority to exhaust the subject, and un equivocally to bind both to agree by his award. HERALD.—Some vague reports were in general cir culation respecting the settlement of the north-east boun dary question, the purport of which was that an agreement had been arranged between Lord Palmerston and Mr. Stevenson, the American Envoy, for referring it for final arbitration to the tripartite monarchs of France, Belgium, and Prussia. Another version of the story is that Col. Madge, who, with Mr. Featberstonhaugh, was deputed to survey and strike the right lirieof boundary according to the first treaty, had represented at the Foreign-office, that there could be no difficulty in the matter of the limits, for that he was prepared with a scheme for the arrangement of all difficul ties ; the solution of which, says the same story, was still to be banded over to the arbitration of the powers named. These rumours are given just as they were variously the subject of conversation, but there are various and obvious reasons which tend to discredit them in the absence of data more precise. They obtained but very small credit at tire Stock Exchange, as may be seen by the little influence they exercised upon prices. Exchequer Bills remain 21s. to 235. premium. Bank Stock 175 to TIM E S.—There was a rumour to-day in the city that the Maine boundary question will be amicably settled by a reference to the arbitration of France, Belgium, and Prue sia, which led to some business in the Consol-market, and Consols, which had opened et 91 (sellers) for the Account, rose to 91 to t t, at which they closed. The cash price remains unaltered, 902- to Money is abundant, but Ex chequer Bills remain at 218. to 235. premium. SUN.—Late in the day, advices were received by ex press from Paris, dated yesterday afternoon, to the effect that the mediation of the Court of France, in the dis pute between this country and Naples, had been ac cepted by our Government, and that, for the present, hostilities will therefore be suspended. The funds have been steady this afternoon, and the investments on the part of the public continue to some extent. Consols for immediate transfer closed at 90-7- s , and for time at 91k. Excheque r Bills left off at `23 - s. prem. ; and India India Bonds at ss. prem. The New Three•and-a-Half per Cents. touched 991. In foreign stocks business was not animated. A rumour to the effect that the fortress of Ali ego h a d been taken by the Christin os, caused an improvement in Spanish Active Bonds from 2Si to ‘2.9i just b e f ore t h e close of the Stock Exchange. Portuguese New Fi ve per Cents were quoted 354 ; Mexican Bonds, 28, and Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents, 531 The other securities were not dealt in. There was a slight tendency to recede in the prices of the Railway Shares, but this arose no doubt only from a disposition to realise the profits accruing on the late advance, as the market was again brisk. Tea was very firm o n 'Change this afternoon. THE LATE ELOPEMENT. Reports have reached us that the Rev. Dr. Lardner did not in hi s l a t e af fair of gallantry quite lo se si g ht of the " loaves and fishes, " for in his desk, which was b roken o p en b y his most unwelcome visitor, was found a considerable portion of valuable property belonging to the injured husband, which, even if carried away by the unfortunate lady, should at least in common honesty have been returned by the disinterested and loving Doctor ; and from a letter also found therein it plainly appeared that bright prospects of a pecuniary nature had quite as much effect upon the Doctor's heart as the charms of the lady. We hope and believe he will be foiled in his base speculations. There is a strange story about the person who performed the office o f femme de chambre to the unfortunate lady. Perhaps the Rev. Doctor—and that he is a Reverend is proved by the Divorce Bill he passed through Parliament —will in his next moral essay throw a little light upon the subj ect —Bri g hto n Guardian. - MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM. —Last night the anniversary festival of this charity was cele brated at the London Tavern, Captain Pelly in the chair.

The Countess of Jersey and Lady Sarah Vil liers, on leaving the Duke of Rutland's, Belvoir Castle, went on a visit to the Earl of Lonsdale, at Cottesmore, Rutlandshire, and intended, before returning to town, to go to Warwick Castle, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of 'Warwick. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT MAN.—Sir Robert arrived at Drayton on Tuesday evening; and it is anticipated that he will remain there throughout the recess. H e h as in formed us (confidentially of course) that he does not expect a visit from the " hurried Mr. Hudson" at present ; and he re quests us to intimate this circumstance to Mr. Benjamin D'lsraeli, who, having another speech in preparation, has been anxiously sacking tam-elation on the subject, from the lacq ucys in Carlton-gardens.— Staprdshire Examiner. s. al A SENSIBLE CLERGYMAN. (From the Staffordshire Examiner.) A. vestry meeting was held in Wolverhampton last Monday, to appoint Churchwardens for the ensuing year. The business was opened by the Rev. Dr. Oliver, a part of whose address is well worthy of general atten tion :—" As to the legality of Church-rates, I continue to hold the sentiments I have heretofore professed ; but when I consider that the granting of such rates is op tional, and that the discussion of the subject only tends to create feud—to divide the town against itself—to set father against son, and son against father—to sever long-standing friendships, and to dissolve mutual ties— when I reflect, also, that the agitatio❑ of that question is little less than a scourge on the public peace of the town, I cannot consent to aim a blow so heavy and a discouragement so great upon what I consider to be the interests of the Church. I shall not give my consent, therefore, to the agitation of this question of Church rates. My motto is Peace ; and the banner which I this day unfurl is the banner of Unity—a banner which cannot, as it shall not, be raised to lead you into contests, in which all is to be lost, and nothing is to be gained. I know I shall be asked how I purpose, without a rate, to provide for the congregational expenses of the Church ? My answer is simple. I have no doubt whatever of the success of the Voluntary System, if it is properly tested. I shall, with the assistance of my Warden, and the Colleague you may appoint to act with him, give this plan a fair and a free trial ; and so long as I continue the resident incumbent of this parish, I pledge myself never to go for a rate, if you will support me, which, I repeat, I have no doubt you will, in defraying the con gregational expenses of the Church by your voluntary contributions."—(Hear, hear.) [lf other clergymen would imitate the example of Dr. Oliver, peace would soon be restored to the country, and Christianity would flourish in charity and love.—En.Siiii.] ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. One night during last week, as a policeman em ployed on the London and Brighton line of railroad, near Balcombe, was taking his accustomed rounds, he discovered a person huddled up under a place used for making bricks in the winter by means of artificial heat. 'I he police had received positive orders to prevent any person from sleeping in or about these premises, as, from the warmth, many dissolute persons had taken refuge at night in them, and, by running over the half-baked bricks, had I done considerable' damage. As soon, therefore, as the above policeman had discovered the delinquent, he insisted upon his coming out. The person addressed made some ex cuse, but at last gave the policeman his hand to assist him out of the place. The officer, on re ceiving the hand of the person, observed that it was very small, which the delinquent admitted, saying that he was only sixteen years of age. The police man, however, entertained his suspicions, and, on further investigation, he ascertained that it was a young woman. She was conveyed to the station house, and the next day brought before Mr. Cherry, the sitting Magistrate for that division of the county. She then stated that she came from a village in Hampshire, and that her name was Eliza Evans. She had been attached to a young man, who left her village to obtain work on the railroad, and, finding it impossible to live without her swain, she had gone in pursuit of him to the railroad, and had sought for him in every direction without success. Without money or food, without the means of reaching her home, she had been reduced to a state of great distress, when she determined to obtain work, if possible, as a man on the railroad. With the assistance of another woman she obtained a pr it of trowsers, and converted her flannel petticoat into a shirt resembling those usually worn by navigators ; she then applied for employment, and was set to work in wheeling barrows full of clay moulded for bricks, which she had to wheel to the place where Ithey are burnt. After the trial of one day she found this work too laborious for her, and was com pelled to give it up, but besought the person at the brick-yard to give her some other employment. to save her from perishing of want. She was accord ingly set to another description of labour in the brick-yard, which suited her better, as it was a lighter sort of work, and younger persons, and even females were employed at it. Along the line there have been erected a great number of rude huts or cabins. Some of them arc composed of stray faggots plastered over with mud, and others of rough scantlin g . In most of these huts there are rude bedsteads or benches, covered with hay, straw, or heath. For the use of these places to sleep in the workmen pay each ls. or ls. 6d. a-week, two, and not unfrequently three, of them sleeping together in these "hoists. " Many of them do not hire them, however, by the week, but take them for a single night, for which they pay in about the same proportion. On the first night after Eliza Evans had assumed man's apparel she slept in one of these boists with two men ; and another night, the weather being severe, she was compelled to pig in with three others, or sleep in the open air. Fearing that her sex would be dis covered, she at last determined, though she was aware it was prohibited by severe penalties, to sleep among the bricks, in the place where they are heated, rather than encounter the risk and horror of sleeping in the boists with men again. She had accordingly taken up a resting-place for the night when discovered by the policeman. The story excited a great deal of interest in the Court ; and the Magistrate very kindly liberated the offender. A subscription of 40s. was raised among the workmen and others, who also defrayed the expenses of her coach-hire home, whither she has returned, never to forget her trip to the Brighton railroad.—Brighton Herald. ELOPEMENT.—On Monday last, the wife of Thomas Conell, of Castleford, and daughter of Mr. Thomas Glover, shoe-maker, of that place, eloped with a person who was employed on the North Midland Railway, near the above village; she has left behind her a husband and two small chil dren, and took away all her wearing apparel and a flitch of bacon. LATE CHARTIST DISTURBANCE.—A great number of persons who had served as special constables had given up all hopes of being paid what they had been promised, viz., four shillings for each time they were called out. The Magistrates, however, have redeemed the implied promise that was given. The bill against the county amounted to 9801. odd, and it has been reduced to 8561: odd, and has been paid by the Treasurer of the Riding.—Leeds Times. We can vouch for the correctness of the follow ing information connected with the Report of the Naval and Military Commission :—The Commander-in-Chief will select all the officers for the retired full-pay, and we understand that a circular will shortly be addressed to each regiment, calling on all who are desirous of availing themselves of the recom mendation to apply immediately, in order that their cases may be considered. The vacancies are to be filled up by promotion nof —we suppose from the next ranks—according to length service on full pay, and, of course, constitutional our With regard to this decision, we may justly statehernselves of this convic tion that few, if any, field-officers will avail themselves which the boon ; because, by the sale of their In Horse Guards has never refused, whenbeetheobmotathineeder of long standing, a larger annuity c c e an Gazette.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. take the liberty, through your valuable Jourual, of calling thePostmaster-General's attention to the enormous exactions of the lonian Govern ment in tke shape of postage, for which it performs no service whatever, and in spite of repeated ap- I plications, no redress can be obtained. 1. By the Falmouth packet, letters of half an ounce are conveyed to and from these islands for is., payable in England. The lonian Post-office, for the mere receipt and forwarding of these paid letters, exacts 6d. per single sheet, 2s. per ounce letter, &c. ; being, in this latter case, equal to the total English rate ! ! Is this warranted, where no serviceis performed? 2. By the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, which convey the Trieste and Ancona mails to Corfu, in cluding all overland letters, and the expense of which is borne by a public company in Trieste, a single letter costs in London Is. 7d. ; the Austrian rate, and charge for steamer, is about Is. 7d. wore. On such letters the lonian Government exact both ways—without anyservice—as foreign postage, 61.; , and further, for conveying such letter to and from Zante, sd--making the total cost of a single letter 4s. ld. sterling ! What right has the lonian Government to this tax of 6d. per letter ? 3. All ship-letters must by law be delivered to the lonian Post-office, even those containing in voices and bills of lading of the cargoes', and are taxed 6d. per single sheet, 2s. per ounce, &c. And persons wishing to send lettee4 by ships are obliged, under a heavy penalty, to take ouch letters to the Post-ofEee to be stampede andpay the . tax, and then they may hunt about for the conveyance by which they are to be sent ! What right has the lonian Government to this tax ? What ser vice does it render for it ? 4. Letters from Corfu to Zante, from those places to the Morea, and vice versa, which are sent by the English packet, are taxed 6d. for the Eng lish Government, and 3d. to sd. for the lonian Government. Thus, whilst we convey from Fal mouth a letter 2,500 miles for ls., the lonian Government for 60 or 120 miles mulcts trade to the tune of 9d. or 11d. per single- sheet. I do not mean. to complain of' the inland postage charged by the lonian Government for letters coa= veyed by its own steamers—but I da ccinviul that the exactions I have stated above are unjust; and I trust that Mr. Secretary Maberly will cause some inquiry to be made into abuses which press most heavily on trade, and prevent our enjoying the benefits of the late reduction of postage at home.—l am, Sir, your most humble servant, lonian Islands, March 26, 1840.
