TIMID EDITION OF "THE SUN." THE VERY LATEST NEWS WILL BB FOUND, AS USUAL, IN THE THIRD EDITION OF 4‘ THE SUN," From the short debate which took place in the House of Lords on Saturday, it is clear that the Bills for suspending the laws affecting corn and navigation will be this evening unanimously passed through their remaining stages. This is prompt legislation, combining the dictates of wisdom and humanity. The whole empire—but especially Ireland and Scot land—will recognise in this rapid enactment of mea sures of alleviation a commendable spirit of benevo lence and sympathy on the part of the Legislature with the severe trials of destitution and famine to which they are at present so deplorably and extensively exposed. Our earnest hope is, that the same generous sympathy, and the like unanimity, will be found to welcome the introduction of any comprehensive and philanthropical plans which Lord JOHN RUSSELL may this evening submit for rescuing Ireland from the existing social evils, and for preventing their recur rence. It is impossible to estimate the advantages of the moral effect produced in the minds of afflicted millions when they learn that Parliament cordially and liberally exercises its powers for the mitigation of their heartrending suffer ings. It binds their affections towards a pro vident Government, attaches them to the insti tutions of their country, and fortifies them to a conti nuance of the exemplary patience which they have hitherto exhibited to such a praiseworthy extent, that it properly constituted a theme of eulogium in her MAJESTY'S recent Speech to Parliament. We have, however, to regret, in consequence of what has passed in the House of Commons, and what transpired in the Upper House on Saturday, that some considerable delay is likely to intervene before we shall possess a law, conformably with the scheme broached by the Government, securing to us the advan tages that will accrue from the use of sugar in breweries and distilleries. The Protectionists are desirous that this measure should be limited in its duration—viz., to the Ist of next September. The Ministry, on the other hand, are fixed in their opinions that it ought to be rendered permanent. There can be no doubt that the Ministerial view is the sound one. That of the Protectionists would, if adopted, be found pernicious in the extreme. Lord STANLEY is anxious for a Select Committee to inquire into, and examine, by vivd voce evidence,the probable effect of the measure. We hope the Government will resist this suggestion. Such a proposal would have no chance of success in the House of Commons. The labours of a Select Committee may be spun out with tedious prolixity, and we have no doubt that such would be the case, were the merits of permanently regulating the duties on sugar, molasses, and rum, to be sifted by such a tribunal. Our readers must bear in mind that this measure is not consequent upon the distress prevailing in Ireland, but is (independently of its adaptation to the principles of free trade) an honour able fulfilment of an implied pledge, given to our West Indian colonies, when we exposed them to com petition with foreign sugar. It is but just to the West Indians, that after they were deprived, and very wisely so, by our adoption of free trade, of the advantages they possessed in our home market in the shape of differential duties, they should be allowed to bring their produce, of every kind, into competition with that of any other, here or elsewhere. This hope was distinctly held out to them last year. An implied pledge of a similar character was given to the Canadas, in respect of corn, simulta neous with the relaxation in our tariff of differential duties favourable to Canadian produce. That understanding was subsequently faithfully com plied with. Lord STANLEY officially carried it into effect, and no man more strenuously insisted than did his Lordship, when threatened to be thwarted by the agricultural representatives, that it would be a gross breach of national faith not to permit their corn to be imported into the United Kingdom with the benefit of a diminished duty. Mutatis mutandis, Lord STANLEY is bound to take the same course now with the West Indians which he formerly adhered to on behalf of the Canadas. The West Indians could derive no benefit from a temporary law of a few months in reference to their sugar, rum and molasses. Such a law would be only " a delusion, a m ockery, and a snare." No merchant would embark his capital upon the uncertainty incidental to a tem porary and exceedingly limited alteration of the respective duties in question. It would be a change fraught with mercantile vexation, giving rise to the speculations of gamblers, and entailing heavy losses upon all who ventured to mix themselves up with so precarious a commerce. The colonists are naturally as impatient of particular restrictions as we have become ourselves. They demand simple justice, and the Imperial Parliament will assuredly render it to them, not in a niggardly, but in a liberal and equitable spirit.

I Evening .. 50 minutes after 8. A letter from Constantinople of the 30th ult. states that the Austrian Internuncio had endeavoured to obtain from the Divan its approval of the annexation of Cracow. His Excellency had had several conferences with RE. amino PACHA, and used arguments to make him com prehend that his Government would derive great advan tages from this annexation. RESCHID PACHA, however, gave only vague replies. The English Ambassador, Mr. WELLESLEY, becoming informed of these confer ences, had an interview with the Grand Visier, and sub mitted to bim the protest of Lord PALIuERSTON. RE SCHID lieut.& thereupon declared that he could not as sent to the annexation of Cracow, inasmuch as this annexation was a violation of a treaty. A letter from Rimini of Jan. 10 states that corn-riots had taken place on several points of that district, but that the arrival of Cardinal Gizzi's circular, prohibit ing the exportation of corn and flour, had contributed to restore order. Disturbances had also occurred in Tus cany. The Grand Ducal Government had put them down by force, and maintained the liberty of exporta tion. Great misery prevails in Romania, but it is hoped that the employment about to be given by the railways will in some measure relieve it. The different compa nies are to send in their plans on Feb. 7. The Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship Tiber, arrived on Sunday evening at Southampton from the Peninsula. Her dates of departure are as follows:—Gibraltar, Jan. 16; Cadiz, 17; Lisbon, 20; and Vigo, 21. No collision between the QUEEN'S troops and the in surgents had taken place since the last accounts from Lisbon. DAS ANTAS had made good his retreat to Oporto, where he arrived on the 7th, at the head of about 4,000 men. The total force of the garrison of Oporto is now 11,000 men, exclusive of 2,000 recruits raised in the provinces of Minho and Tras-os-Montes. SALDANHA, who has separated his army into two divisions, is slowly advancing northward. The slowness of his movements have enabled the insurgents to fortify Oporto, so as to render it nearly impregnable; as his whole force does not amount to more than 7,000 men, it is thought that SALDADV.MA will not venture to attack it, but will fall back upon Coimbra, or some strong position, and await an attack from the insurgents. The insurgents in Oporto seem quite confident of success. The most active measures have been adopted by the Junta, not only to defend the city, but to commence offensive operations, when such may become necessary, and they have plenty of money. Count MENSDOBFF, a Cousin of Prince ALBERT, *lto went out some months since to Lisbon, at the request of her MAJESTY, has returned in the Tiber. Madrid papers of the 16th and 17th have arrived. The debate on the Address in the Senate still co n inued. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSs had positively refused to be nominated to the Presidentship of the Chamber of )e -puties, and it was thought the Senor Busvo MUM; .L 0 would be the Government candidate. At a meeting of Moderado Members, held on the I.t th, Senor PIDAL, the Minister of the Interior, protest 3d against this question of the Presidentship being madS3 a Ministerial question; but being opposed by Senor X A CHECO, the Minister retired with his friends. The• 62 Deputies who remained then proceeded to ballot; for a candidate, and the numbers were fur Senor CAErrRc) Y Onozco, 20 ; Senor PACHECO, 5 ; Senor BusTo DI u- RILLO, 5; and Senor ARTELA., 1. The Heraldo states that the arrival of a LegeM frs Rome to the Court of Madrid is shortly expected. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 16.—The Three per CO its , closed at 311 for cash; the Five per Cents. at %I; the Coupons at 181; and the Debt without Interest at 611-.. We have received the Paris papers of Friday' and Saturday. The debate on the Address closed in the Chamt ser of Peer* on Friday; the Address was carried by a mai. 7 , 7 it] the Government of Lord Jour/ RUSSELL, and espe of 144 to 8. In the course of the debate on Thursday R ially to a rancorous vituperation upon Lord PAL- M. Gomm. read the following note, which he said had MERSTON. Lord PALMERSTON, however, requires DO been delivred to him that morning only by th e Rus s ian apologia ; he is fully equal to the exigencies of his Charge d'.!Arcs ! " I have just received your dispatch of the 19th instant, in eminent office which you inform me of a question put to you by 111. Guizot, on the subject of the presumed incorporation of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw with the empire of Russia. I hasten to reply to it, authorising you, by the express command of the Emperor, to contradict those rumours in the most formal manner. " What may have given rise to this new idea, designedly propagated by the Polish emigrants, always ready to mis construe the intentions of the Imperial Government, is the announced project of the suppression of the line of customs which separates Russia from Poland. That measure, solicited at different times by the population of the kingdom of Poland, is for its advantage, because it offers for their produce an out let which they had not hitherto enjoyed. "You are requested to make these explanations to tho French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to conform your language accordingly to all persons who may exercise any influence on the state of public opinion." On this subject the Constitutionnel says— " The dispatch of Count Nesselrode, which Mr. Guizot read on Thursday in the Chamber of Peers, was concocted between the French Ministry and the representative of Russia, and sent to St. Petersburgb, where it received the approbation of the Emperor, and whence it was returned in time for the de bate on the Address," In the same paper we find the following observations on the speech of Lord GEORGE BENTINCR in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, on the conduct of the Northern Powers : " The Tory leader in the House of Commons is consistent. The Absolute Powers are the natural allies of his party; the policy of the Holy Alliance is its policy ; the reverses of France and her mifortunes are invoked by it to invite the Powers who have just annihilated the nationality of Poland fo combine with Great Britain. The defeats of Prance have been made the triumph of liberty! The destruction of Cracow is the happiness of I'oland; les; these are the real senti ments of the genuine Tories—of those who contend equally against Russell the Liberal, and Peel the Reformer ! Such are the allies, the warm friends, that o ur Mi n i s t ry fi n d s i n England ! uch is the direction in which they lean. The Whigs in their eyes are blunderers—dangerous people with whom it is necessary to break. Sir R. Peel himself, in the middle of the most lively effusions of the entente cordiale, was frequently accused by our Ministerial journals of bor rosding too much from the reform policy of the Whigs. But the true Conservatives, the real successors of Lord Castle reagh, the heirs of the authors of the Treaty of Vienna, the natural allies of the Absolute Powers—these are the friends and supporters of our Cabinet. This preference for the Tories, and the antipathy it testifies to all the Liberals of England, is quite sufficient to characterise its policy." All the Parisian journals notice with satisfaction the tone in which France was alluded to on Tuesday night in both Houses of the British Parliament, as a proof that the desire of England is to maintain, if possible, a good understanding with France. The Constitutionnel and the Siecle both declare that the conduct of M. GUIZOT is without excuse ; that the declarations of Sir ROBERT PEEL and of Lord JOHN RUSSELL that a Coburg Prince was never put forward as a candidate for the hand of the Queen of SPAIN by either of their Govern ments ; utterly takes away every pretext for concluding the Montpensier marriage; and that if there has been a rupture of the entente cordiale, the British Ministers are entirely blameless. Her Excellency the Marchioness of NousIANBY gave on Friday evening a brilliant soirée dansante, at which the chief rank and fashion of Paris were present. There was a full attendance of the diplomatic circle. Amongst the distinguished personages were noticed Marshal Solna, Count MOLE, and Al. TRIERS. The Chamber of Deputies have passed unanimously the Bill for admitting corn and other kinds of grain at the minimum duty fixed by the law of 15 th April, 1832, until the 31st of July next. Vessels leaving foreign ports before that date were to be allowed to discharge their cargoes, although they may not arrive in France until after 31st July. but onlythe ri b r;v th i n e c c p s r e t s h e e n c d e i s o t f ur a b l a a n r c g e e s m h i a l d ita b ry ee r n orc c e h . ecl l7 l ht Journal des Debuts says — "That everywhere in the department of Indre these riots offered the same character, and appeared to have been all inspired by Communist ideas. The following was the plan adopted by the promoters of the disturbances at Buzineais, and followed in all the revolted districts :—They imposed on the mayors and landowners an obligation to sell their wheat, until next harvest, at the rate of 3f. the double acalitre (15f. per hectolitre); to fix at lf. 50e. the minimum of the day's wages of labour, and to direct domiciliary searches to be made to ascertain the quantity of grain in the possession of each farmer. All the proprietors, whatever might be their political convictions, were summoned to subscribe to those conditions, and among the houses pillaged and the mills de stroyed were several belonging to men known in the country to profess the most Radical opinions." At Chateauroux, the flying columns sent out by General RIGNY has returned with many prisoners. The murderers of M. CHAMBERT have been arrested. In the meanwhile, the cause of these disturbances still sub sists in full force. A letter from Nantes, published in the Journal des Debas, says— ". The situation of our corn market has become sensibly worse during the present week. Wheat has been sold at 35 francs the hectolitre of 156 pounds weight, and flour of the first quality 100 francs the sack. This rise has caused much excitement, and the Prefect had dispatched two com panies of infantry to Juigne, where some disturbances had arisen." And the National de t Ouest states, that the distress is so great in the neighbourhood of Roscoff, in consequence of the high price of provisions, that there are several families who do not eat bread once in four days, and whose principal food is composed of cabbage or turnips stolen in the fields. To add to the gravity of the situation, the Government have received information from a colonel of National Guards stationed in the neighbourhood of Tours " that the feeling was spreading among the population that the high price of grain was owing to the selfishness of the proprietors, who were holding it over, speculating upon advanced prices. Should this conviction lead to outbreaks, it was his opinion that the National Guards would not act, and all would depend upon the steadiness of the soldiery." There was a sort of &acute at Perigueux on the 17th, at the funeral of M. FEYTAUD, the senior member of the bar. M. FEYTAUD had been originally a priest, and during the revolution he had taken the oath of alle giance to the civil constitution of the French clergy. This oath he had refused to retract, and the bishop de clared that irk consequence of such refusal the body should be deprived of the right s o f sepulture. " The authorities," says the Conservateur de la Dordogne, " however, on their side resol ved that such determination of the Bishop should be broken through, and on Sunday, the 17th, when a priest was about ter- close the door of the cathe idnrga,l p h o f c r e d e a r g e to n t prev e o n t h t a n d e bbeoednypoofsle neardece as p r e e d y e fr n o t m e d p h a i s m s A body of infantry was soon placed in front of the sacred edifice, whilst another was sent to protect the Bishop's palace in case of need.

Sly fulfilling a farewell engagement for the last month at Liver pool, and on Friday evening she took leave of the people of that town in the following characteristic address :—"Ladies and Gentlemen,—l appear before you to say farewell, and that in its most painful shape, a long health, rather than my inclination, believe me, induces this apparently sudden step.

Ladies and gentlemen, I most respectfully, and most gratefully, bid you farewell!' I E XPERIENCES or A Gam, CHAPLAIN.—The in tercourse which takes place between the Minister of the Gospel and the criminal doomed to suffer the extreme penalty of the law must be allowed to possess great interest for the philosopher and Christian. In such circumstances the secrets of the hearts of men are most likely to be laid bare. In the gaol chaplain's narrative which will be pub lished in a few days, will be found facts of the most interest ing, absorbing and startling characters which ought to en gage the attention of all who can feel for their fellow-coon trywen. The subject is of the last importance. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur day, at previous rates. Sales, 3,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were lower. The numerous arrivals from abroad do not, as may be presumed, bring equally favourable intelligence. The political accounts from our East Indian possessions, intimate that there was some fear of treachery at Lahore, but few here doubt the ability of Lord -Her dinge to overcome it. The Six per Cent. Loan was filling up better. In general the markets for imported goods, whether in India or China, were not active. The packet-ship Anglo Saxon, with accounts of the sth inst. from New York, seems to bring a good report to those who watch with patriotic anxiety the chances of an abundant supply of food. There is evidently a conviction on the part of the Americans that they have so large a surplus that it will be to their interest to sell us as much as they can at existing rates. In the Metropolitan Corn Exchange these accounts have had due weight to-day, wheat being dull of sale, while malt, &c., is decidedly cheaper. At Dublin, and in other places also, there is a decline in the price of grain. The news, per steamer, from Jamaica, Demerara, and the other West India colones, is very cheerful with respect to the weather and the prospect for the next crops. In Aris' Birmingham Gazette, received this day, we find the following just remarks :—" The preduction of railways is not essentially different from the production of manufac tured goods generally—wages have to be paid and circulated while railways are making, as they have during the process of other manufactures, and the return of profit will imme diately commence in both cases, as soon as the manufacture is completed; and supposing railways to be—as they ought to be—in the hands of capitalists, no inconvenience can arise from the necessary delay in their completion. With the present scarcity and high price of provisions, it is well that the labouring classes have profitable employment, and that our captalists are compelled to circulate their money, since this must tell immensely to the national welfare and advantage. Fortu nately for the stability and safety of the trade of this impor tant district, Birmingham has been comparatively free from that undue and unwholesome speculation in railways in 1845, the consequences of which continue to be gradually developed in towns where that speculation was carried to so fearful an extent. Our merchants and manufacturers have, for the most part, already furled their sails, and are prepared for the threatening storm, which will pass harmlessly over them if legitimate credit and confidence be fairly maintained and supported." We join our contemporary in the remainder of his reason ing as to the impolicy of the Times, or indeed of any journal making bad worse by its exaggeration of evils. We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the London and North-Western Company have offered to lease the Scottish Midland Railway in perpetuity, at 6 per cent. and half profits; the offer will doubtless be accepted. As the Scottish Midland joins the Aberdeen line in the neigh bourhood of Forfar, it is understood that this offer to the for mer is preliminary to the conclusion of the negotiations between the London and North-Western, which have been going on for some time for leasing the Aberdeen, in which case the Euston-square company will next year have an un interrupted communication from the metropolis to the north of Scotland, a distance of more than 500 miles. The English Funds have been to-day decidedly better. m swa s 3At i u n r l td y oa t y9 o b h F, e oa g rn r td e r a a t nfos i r m ft.r p t r itm o o v -em em an e y4 n o t wt i ot n h9e th l The rally is in fact % to % per cent. in Consols, owing E t x es e h a he t qa P av a ee rr oe-bil Inns fi. quotations ß e have been ls. higher, viz., 3s. to 7s. premium.

The cobweb of plausibilities which has been accu mulating round the question of the Montpensier alli ance ever since the opening of the French Chambers, was blown away on the 20th ultimo by the very enunciations of M. GUIZOT himself. That eminent statesman may be capable of distorting truth with some adroitness when compiling elaborate statements in his cabinet; he may be, and unquestionably is, very felicitous in making out a marvellously sophis tical case on the wrong side, when dropping docu ments one after another into his Ministerial portfolio ; but in the tribune of the Chamber of Peers all his speciousness blunders into the most naked guile, all his ingenuity stands forth as the most palpable hypocrisy. On explaining to the Chamber of Peers on the evening in question the policy pursued by the ) French Government in relation to the marriages of I the Spanish Princesses, M. GUIZOT very ostentatiously reminded his auditors that he was speaking "in the presence of the Chambers, of France, of England, and of the KING." In addition to this he distinctlyaffirmed that he by no means spoke for the purpose of defend ing the policy of his Administration. He was not defending that policy, and yet the whole of his harangue had nothing about it distinguishable from special pleading! We would undertake to declare in the most positive and deliberate manner posssible, that there never was articulated a ministerial expla nation so manifestly flawed by reservations, so im pertinently disposed towards the British Government, so miserably characterised by shameless and con temptible shufflings. M. GUIZOT had the coolness to insinuate that some such course might be expected from him in his pretended explication of the mysteries of French diplomacy in the Peninsula. During the preliminary portion of his address, he observed, " I am fully aware that my words may have some in fluence on the present delicate situation, and I pray the Chamber to imagine what my position really is, and to go freely with me both in my frankness and my reserve." Those expressions were a most necessary stomachic to enable the Peers to digest the very crude explanations and assurances vouchsafed to them by the Minister. It was the trumpet blown before the Pharisee, and which only rendered his hypocrisy the more ostensible. After insisting upon the doctrine which had continued to be the actuating principle of the French Government in regard to the Peninsula since 1841, namely, that under all circumstances the hereditary sovereignty of Spain should not be permitted to pass out of the Bourbon dynasty, M. GUIZOT entered upon an enumeration of the different suitors to the hand of her Majesty Queen ISABELLA 11. First, the Comte DE MONTEMOLIN, he remarked, was the candidate supported by the three Northern Powers, and was virtually rejected by the populace ; secondly, the Comte DE TRAPANI was the candidate supported by Queen CHRISTINA, and so on throughout the cata logue, from Prince Lzorom3 of Saxe-Coburg, to Don HENRIQUB and ultimately to Don FRANCISCO. "No one," says M. GmZOT, "is more con vinced than myself that the struggle for in fluence in Spain between England and France is disastrous to her." A very prettily-turned sentence, that—under the circumstances ! It reminds us, in voludtarily, of lAGo crying shame upon the caitiff who would " stab a man in the dark," at the very moment he is pinking RODERIGO with his Damascus. It were superfluous to enter into a minute analysis of the fallacies and mis-statements of M. GUIZOT when addressing the Chambers on Wednesday. Our columns contain the documents relating to our Peninsular and Parisian correspondence, laid upon the table of the House of Commons on Friday even ing by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Those documents, together with the internal evidence of M. GuizoT's own oration, form the most fitting commentary upon these flagitious distortions of the truth. And, supposing the falsities o f the French Government in this matter were not sufficiently manifest already, Lord PALMERSTON will very shortly deliver in his counter-statements, which, we doubt not for a single moment, will be amply elucidative of the guile of France and the candour of England in this ugly transaction. We must, nevertheless, com ment upon one observation uttered by the French Prime Minister. "Never," said he, speaking of the co-operation which was so desirable between England and France, in reference to Spain, "never has England entered frankly into the concert; her policy was one of reserve and p rocrastination ": Scarcely h a d the echoes of his voice in pronouncing r those syll a bl es died away, when the air vibrated with his e xpress i ons with esteem towards Lord ABERDEEN, for the cordiality w ith w hi c h he had co-operatedFrance e during the Adminis tration of Sir R.

The past week's arrivals (t Er.g . i,ll Wheat and Malt, as well as Flour, for our own market was nn.dcrate, and of full average quality, but those of other articles were small. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any grain reached us ; while the imports of foreign Wheat and Flour were limited, those of Barley seasonably extensive. Taking the arrivals and imports collectively, they have proved the smallest we have had to report for a considerable period. From Essex a fair average quantity of Wheat of home produce came to hand this morning ; and, on the whole, the show of samples of that article was moderate. The attendance of town and country buyers being good, the demand for selected qualities of both Red and White WaS steady, at prices about equal to those paid on Monday last. In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly li.tle business was doing; yet the holders would not submit to lower rates. The market closed rather heavily. With free foreign Wheats we were fairly supplied. Notwithstanding the opening of the ports and the suspension of the navigation-laws, the importers were by no means anxious to realise. The sales, however, were only to a trifling extent, at previous quotations. As the duties will no doubt be remitted this week, nothing was doing in any article in bond ; hence prices were quite no minal. We understatal that the stock of Flour under bond at Liverpool is now about 400,000 barrels. Owing to the proposition to admit sugar into the distilleries, the Barley trade, although the supply of that description of corn on sale was small, even including the foreign arrivals, was very dull, at a decline in the quotations of this day se'nnight of from 3s to, in some instances, 53 per quarter. The show of Malt being on the increase, and as many of the distillers are already purchasing sugar, that article was heavy, and, to sell, Is to z!s per qr. less money must have been taken. With Oats we were very scantily supplied, yet the trade was dull at barely last week's quotations. In Beans, next to no thing was done, at a decline in value of from Is to 2s per quarter. W hite Peas were quite as dear, but grey and maple were to be purchased on easier terms. The Flour trade was slow, at unaltered figures.

Lord DENMA:S.T said the t3O/. must be taken as part of the conditions. He thought, however, that they ought not to add anything to it. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD intimated that Mrs. Barker never intended to impute that the annoyances which she received came directly from the defendant. The proceedings then terminated, and the defendant, .who had covered his face with his hand, and bowed down his head during the whole period, then retired, and received th e congratulations of his friends. QUEEN'S BENCH.--(T HIS DAY.) LIBEL.-TIIR QUEEN IN THE PROSECUTION OF MRS. JANE BARKER. V. THE EEV. MR ROBINSON. This case was tried at Gloucester some time ago, and ex cited much attention at the time. It was an indictment at the instance of Airs. Barker for a libel, the libel complained of consisting of letters w Lich were addressed to her by the defendant, expressing his surprise that she should revisit Cheltenham atter the reports which had been spread as to her previous conduct in the same place, and plainly charging her with having committed adultery. The letters bore the initials of " W. P." The case now came before the Court in the usual form, and Mr. Sergeant TAI.FouaD (who, with Mr. Alexander, ap peared for the prost-cution) prayed judgment upon the defendant, who appeared upon the floor of the Court. A great number of affidavits were handed in by both sides, the reading of which occupied it more than two hours. Those of the prosecutrix went to show that there was no truth in the allegations a the defendant, whilst those of the defendant expressed his sincere regret that he had penned such letters, anti attributed his conduct to the excited state of his feelings at the time, in consequence of the reports which lie heard They further stated that he had made an ample apology before these proceedings, and that he had offered to pay 50/. towards the expenses in curred, which terms he understood were accepted. After dwelling upon the fact that lie had founded a Magdalen Hospital in Cheltenham, and that he had taken active steps to prevent prostitution, and to reclaim those who had fol lowed such a course of life, he threw himself upon the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. WHATenass e Q.C., proceeded to address the Court on behalf of the defendant, and in mitigation of punishment. He dwelt, at *omit length, on the various offices which the defendant had filled for the last few years. In 1844 he removed to Cheltenham, and took a house on Pitfield-parade, within two or three doors of which Mrs. Barker occupied a house. She was frequently visited by a nobleman whose name had become too familiar in the records of public intelligence (Earl Fitzhardinge), and car ; riages and other vehicles were constantly at the doors of her house. To a gentleman of an excitable temperament, Wien had pupils in his house, and who was living there with his wife, and being responsible for the morals of those pupils, and being, moreover, a minister of the Gospel, this was an in e tolerable grievance. There was everything to induce Waite) believe that the reports which had been spread as to her conduct in Cheltenham were true: Mrs. Barker was the wife of a poor player, and came to Cheltenham, in the first in stance, from a small town within two miles of Berkeley Castle, with the hounds of the noble owner of which she was frequently in the habit of hunting. Some stress had been laid on the fact that the letters were signed with initials, namely, W. P., and that he thereby intended to fix their authorship on some one else. Ile had no such intention; but as he wrote anonymously, he affixed these initials, a plan very frequently adopted 1;y persons advertising for serv an t s . He had addressed Mrs. Barker on the occasion of her pre vious visit, but no notice was taken of his communications; and when he addressed the letters, out of which these pro. ceedings arose, he believed that she was about to take up her residence at Cheltenham. He, however, sincerely regretted that he had penned them. It was understood that the de fendant would not be brought up for judgment at all, and negotiations and correspondence had taken place between the parties to that end. but as the name of Mrs. Barker had been frequently 'petitioned in the painful correspondence which had taken place . between Earl Fitzhardinge and Mr. Grantley Berkeley, Mr. Robinson had been proceeded against, in order that the reflections which attached to Earl Fitzhardinge, in consequence of his connexion with Mrs. Barker, might be removed by obtaining a conviction, and consequently the assumption that Mrs. Barker was free from suspicion. Ile held, however, that the apology which he had offered was sufficient. Lord DENMAN inquired what the counsel for the prosecu tian would deem a sufficient apology? Mr. Sergeant Ta Leonia) said the addition to the apology which the dekndant tendeeed was this, but ho refused to accede to it : --" I greatly regret the annoyance which these letters have occasioned, and 1 hereby declare that the charges which they convey are wholly unwarranted." He refused to accede to this, or to consent that his refutation 'should be published in the newspaeers. He simply expressed his regret at having written lie letters. Lord DZ:IMAN— Do you think there is anything in that which a person sending sec]) letters ought not to make? Mr. WHATELEY—N o , my Lord. Lord DENMAN thought that the publication of such an apology could not be obje:ted to, and that upon calm re flection the L earne d Counsel would consider it his duty to advise his client to accede to it. It was not one which he ought to refuse to make. Mr. WIIATELEY did not hesitate, on the part of his client, to make the required apology. Lord DENMAN—Then we may say that this puts an end to the proceedings. Mr. Sergeant TALFOUND accepted the apology, on the part"of his client, and applied to the Court to make an order on the defendant to pay something more towards the ex penses of the proceedings than the ZiOL, which Airs. Barker proposed to devote to cUaritable purposes, BANKUPTCY.-(THIS DAY•) DI RE DORRINGTON. APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE AFTER TEN YEl B r e i t This bankrupt, who was described as a miller, at DiPP3-:%, Mills, near Welwyn, Herts, came up to apply for his ce;i . ficate under an old commission, issued so far back AS vember, 1837. a djou The Solicitor said that his last examination was riled in consequence of the accounts not being prepared , bu t for shortly afterwards passed ; he had not, hewever, sPPli ed his certificate, as since then he had been using the 011_,.. grinding corn, but as his father held the farm, and vast„ sponsible for the rent, it had not been necessary for bankrtir to obtain his certificate. The COMMISSIONER—Then in fact he has been carrying ° trade, not being certificated? The Somerton— Yes, to the extent of working for a livlogL but now his father is dead, and as it is desirable the bankt u r should take the farm the present application is made. , The Learned COMMISSIONER said as there was no °Pi --- tion, he would grant the certificate.

MOLT APPELLANT, MALTBY RESPONDENT. the This was an appeal by Mr. Henry Holt, an extensive th e it . salesman in Smithfield-market, against a decision O f tt e spondent, one of tl-e metropolitan magistrates,by which he apt judged Mr. Holt, upon an information laid by the Soeiles." the Suppression of Cruelty to Animals, to pay a fine eL d o a for cruelty to two calves, by conveying them from Cr°l o ii to Smithfield-market with their heads hanging from toe board of the cart. q uest° As this moue of conveyance was really a vexata 4 . 1 d between the society and its supporters and the Stni.t . t n g dealers and farmers, the Court was much' crowded aw— the hearing. A number of witnesses were examined on both sides the humanity of the practice, after which 'tht bo The. Learned ASSISTANT.JUDGE, in concurrence sel, t ot other magistrates on the bench, said he considered o ut the charge of wanton cruelty had not been nn e rt of against Mr. Holt in the terms or meaning of the s',"id.
