flrcretbings in Varlittintnt. -.0. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY Mr. Hiurr moved an address to the crown to direct that ne gotiations be forthwith entered into for the purpose of releasing this country from all treaty engagements with foreign states for maintaining armed vessels on the coast of Africa to sup press the traffic in slaves, supporting his views by numerous cogent arguments. We had undertaken a task to which any amount of force was unequal—to suppress a contraband trade which yielded hither gains than any other trade in the world. All experience demonstrated that no lucrative trade of this kind was ever suppressed by coercion. Sir Josiah Child, 200 years ago, said, "he who would give a large price for any commodi Butt thPz Finding and of le who had end to it 1401 obtain it by some means or other."

He said that the Union should be the first great question, and the minor ones could come along afterwards. The immigration to New York during the month, of February was only little more than a third of what it was during the corresponding month of last year. In the Cotton market prices had fluctuated a good deal. After the advices by the America bad been received, much disappointment was experienced, as a material advance in the Liverpool market was expected. Little disposition to sell at a material decline was however manifested, though prices slightly lowered. Mr. Stewart says in his circular that t le decline in the receipts at the ports are sufficient to prove that they arise from a deficiency in the supply to come out. He says that a decline in price of td. is gene rally anticipated by the departure of the next steamer. We give below the closing prices and the movements of this staple.

AN ADMISSION.—The Rev. Mr. Bennett, a leading tractarian, has published a pamphlet, in winch he admits that it is clearly probable that the reformers so worded the articles of 1552 as purposely to comprehend both classes,—those who held high views. of Sacramental grace, and those who held low views:—those who leaned to Rome, and those w ho l eane d t o Zurich. In connection with this matter, we may mention that in 1816, when it was proposed to eject the tract of Bradford, Bishop of Rochester on the subject from the catalogue of the Pro pagation Society, the proposal was heard and decided on by Dr. Howley, then Bishop of London ; Dr. Manners Sutton, Archbishop of Canterbury ; Dr. Van Mildert, afterwards Bishop of Durham; and many other reverend persons. Thirty-four years ago, this ecclesiastical tribu nal heard the quertion which has been again so lately dis cussed, and the conclusion they arrived at was precisely that of the Judicial Committee, guided by Dr. Sumner •nd Dr. Musgrave The bishop's tract remains on the iety to this day, and so remains under )n of the whole episcopal bench. *ST W.

Lord Langdale is appointed one of the Deputy Speakers of the House of Lords, to preside in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, in addition to Lords Denman and Campbell. Mr. Cardwell presented, on Thursday, a petition from merchants and traders at Liverpool, praying that the " drawbacks" on bricks might be allowed if the duty on them were repealed. The Marquis of Clanricarde has gone to Paris for the purpose of endeavouring to negotiate a modification of the rates of postage between this country and France, with a view to the diminution of the present charges.

John - O'Grady, a wealthy farmer in the county of Lime rick, has been convicted for the murder of his wife and maid servant on the Ist of November, 1846, and sentenced to be executed. The murder was particularly remarkable for the total absence of all apparent provocation. The prisoner first murdered the servant in the stable by stab bing her with a bayonet fixed on a stick, and then killed his wife by discharging two pistols at her while she was in bed. The defence was temporary aberration of mind, but this wes not sustained by any evidence. Matthew and William Gavin were convicted at the same assizes for the murder of John Ryan, at Cappamore, and sentenced along with O'Grady to be executed on the 10th of next month. AN AWKWARD DISCLOSURE.—On Tuesday, — three gentlemen walking in Patrick-street perceived a small parcel on the flagway ; they paused for a momeet until a beggar woman attempted to pick it up, but was prevented by one of the gentlemen, who took it. She instantly claimed it as her property, and when asked what it con tained, she quickly replied, "a little tea and sugar she was taking home to her sick husband." The gentleman declared his belief that she had no claim on the parcel, particularly as it was directed " Mr. Ratcliffe—to he de livered immediately ." The woman followed the three gentlemen, urging her claim and charging them with taking her property, and the consequence was, a crowd. Feeling annoyed, they proposed opening the parcel, sta ting that if the contents were what she alleged, she should get it, and they turned into a shop to avoid the crowd while they disclosed its interior. The shop they went into was a china and glass establishment, in the centre of which was a counter, on which there was a display of handsome vases, besides tea cups and saucers. Having apologised to a female in the shop for the intrusion, the glass doors of the shop were closed, and one of the gen tlemen commenced unstringing the parcel, while many anxious faces pressed against the windows from outside. One paper was removed, and the end of the second was unfolded, when out sprang an immense rat. In the jump he knocked down a vase, and galloped nimbly over the cups and saucers, tumbling them as he proceeded. The consternation was excessive, and one of the gentlemen in his alarm drove his elbow through a pane of glass in the door. The lady of course screamed, and at last rushed into the street. During the time the rat was hopping along the skirting of the walls, tumbling many jugs which were ranged around the shop. In a short time the alarm of "a rat ! a rat !" got abroad, and immediately some ten or twelve active fellows rushed in, and at the cost of seve ral China articles the chase resulted in the death of the vermin. During the pursuit, the three gentlemen, ashamed of the confusion which the picking up of the parcel had occasioned, and fearing to meet the laughter of those who had hoaxed them, hurried quickly from the scene, while the claimant was no longer to be found.— Cork Constitution.

A TRUE PROPHET.—Mr. Alison, in an essay printed in Blackwood, in 1831, writes thus :—•` One of the first effects of the passing of the reform bill, of:course, will be the repeal of the corn laws. There is no man in his senses who can hesitate a moment as to that consequence. Ministers make no secret of their intention to propose it, among the first measures, to the reformed parliament ; and it will be one of the numerous subjects on which such peremptory pledges will be exacted from the member as to render its passing a matter of moral certainty. When it is recollected that 300 English members of the reformed house are to be for the boroughs, and only 150 for the counties, it may easily be anticipated that this effect is certain. And in vain will the House of Peers strive to resist such a result : their power must have been so com pletely extinguished before the reform bill is past, that any resistance on their part would be speedily overcome. This first and unavoidable consequence of this great change will at once set the manufacturing classes at vari ance with the agricultural interest ; and then will com mence that fatal war between the different classes of society, which has hitherto been only repressed by the weight and authority of a stable, and, in a certain degree, hereditary government, composed of an intermixture of the representatives of all interests. When it is recollected that wheat can be raised with ease, in Poland, at prices varying from 17s. to 20s. a quarter, and that it can be laid down on the quay of any harbour in Britain at from 335. to 405., it may easily be anticipated what a revolution in prices will, in the first instance. be effected by this mea sure. We say in the first instance— for nothing seems clearer than that the ultimate effect will be, by throwing a large portion of British land out of cultivation, and in its stead producing a more extensive growth of grain on the shores of the Vistula, to restore the equilibrium be tween the supply of corn and its consumption, and, by means of destroying a large portion of British agriculture, ' raise the prices again to their former standard." LORD JOHN'S •' WHIP-UP."—Apropos to slavery, we have to record an act of personal subjugation as bad as anything in the evidence given only to the committee of the Lords. The scene was not the Bight of Biafra, nor Gallinas, but Downing-street: the victims were not the glossy sons of Ham, but 160 members of the British House of Commons; and the ostensible author of the extraordinary outrage was not a Brazilian skipper, but the head of her Majesty's government. By the sound of the. Treasury whip the unfortunate captives were mustered early in the above-mentioned barracoon, and there shortly and sharply instructed in the terms of their servitude. Without so much as allowing them the opportunity of tendering their spontaneous support, Massa Russell, for so we must call the principal actor on this occasion, in formed his captives that if they did not support him in the blockade of the African slave coast, he would turn them all out into outer darkness, to find a new master if they could. It was in vain that they protested and de murred, talked of money and reputation, and other topics customary with sensible men; his lordship would take no denial. Their opinions they might keep, but their votes he must have. As appears from the division last night, (Tuesday,) his lordship succeeded to the desired extent. The poor sufferers came out lamenting their hard fate; but few of them dreamt of actual resistance. Thus, by a sort of vicarious bondage, the British M.P. has taken the place of the African, and done taskwork to the music of the lash. Such, in fact, is the history of Tuesday night's division in the Commons. Let not the public be deceived, for one moment. The 232 gentlemen who vote for keep ing this Old Man of the Sea on our shoulders, themselves inwardly groan at the pressure. We believe that any one of them would rather carry a sack of coals, or all the blue books of the session, from Westminster to St. Paul's, than vote away another million for this deplorable hum bug. Sed fata obstant. If they don't do as they are bid, Lord Palmerston will go out, Lord John will go out, and all the rest will go out, and it is impossible to say who will come in; perhaps Mr. Disraeli, perhaps Mr. Cobden, perhaps Mr. Feargus O'Connor.— Times.

STEAMER " FAIRY." On behalf of the plaintiff's affidavits from the crew of the schooner—from M`Kinley, a boatman, Corlett, a stageman, and two sailors on board a Seacombe steamer, were put in, to_ prove the clearness and fineness of the night. From Hudson, a master-pilot, and some flat owners, giving an opinion that lights for vessels under weigh in a dark night were not necessary or desirable; and from Mr. Grantham, an engineer, to prove that the Fairy attained full speed instantaneously, or within 160 yards. On behalf of the Fairy, affidavits were produced from a clergyman of the Church of England—from a member of the Royal College of Surgeons—from a repor ter of the Liverpool Standard—and other passengers, together with the crew on board on the night of the colli sion, to prove the darkness and mistiness of the night, which was corroborated by the stagemen at the lesser landing-stage, and some persons on the larger stage. Affidavits were also put in from the master pilots of the twelve pilot cutters of the port of Liverpool; from Capt. Denham of the board of trade ; from the two harbour masters, and the water bailiffs, past and present; all giv ing strong opinions of the necessity for all vessels carrying lights after nightfall; an from Mr. W. F. M'Gregor, the builder of the Fairy's engines ; and Mr. Hebson, consulting engineer,:denying the possibility of the steamer attaining full speed, within anything like the space sworn to by Mr. Grantham. A DATTR.ALTY JUDGMENT. Dr. Lushington, addressing - the elder brethren, said : Gentlemen, this case has been instructed with a very large mass of evidence, and you have heard from the counsel on both sides a full discussion of the statements contained in that evidence. There are many of the facts and circum stances respecting which no dispute at all arises in this case ; there are some others in which T think the evidence clearly preponderates. The first disputed fact in the case is the state of the weather. On the part of the schooner it is alleged that the night was fine and clear, and on that of the Fairy that it was dark and misty, with rain. I think on the balance of the evidence we may fairly take the case to be this.: that it was a night that was not clear and bright : that it was not-easy to discern vessels on the water at any distance. I do. of say it was exceedingly :misty, I do not say it was very•hazy, but taking the whole of.the evidence, I think it must be, called on the whole a misty night. It is also -said in the course of the proceed irwrithat the rudder of the..steamer mes in that position, it was so fixed that she could not possibly starboard her helm. This I think is a charge which is altogether dis proved. It is further said that the Fairy was going at full speed. I must say, looking at the balance of the evi dence, I am bound to express my opinion that that charge is not made out by the evidence. I think it is not made out that she was going at any extraordinary speed when she quitted the landing -stage. I doubt whether I might not almost add, it was scarcely possible that the Fairy could have attained full speed in so short an interval as that which occurred between leaving the landing-stage and the time of the collision. Having stated these facts, I will now come really to the only two questions of importance in this case; and the first question to which I shall re quest your attention is this—whether you consider that any blame attaches to the steamer, either on account of quitting the stage too rapidly, or not having kept a good look out—or having run down the schooner from any negligence or want of care. With regard to the other vessel, the " Sarah," there is only one question which arises with regard to her; and that is, whether, under all the circumstances of the case, it was clearly the impera tive duty of the schooner to have carried a light, in con sequence of the crowded state of the river and the misti ness of the night itself. I admit, though the evidence on behalf of the schooner is infinitely inferior to that of thr Fairy, yet, looking at the evidence of pilots and m '• , ers, it shows that that is a rule - :n the river Ise of this quest' ,rued and carried out the common lot univers VP tt Why, to prevent damage to others ; and if the nec y ough the pa his power to take a preCitUtiO; tC; " a . v( and does not take that precaution, dered to blame.

THE TIGRIS.—SALVAGE. This was a salvage cause, promoted by the owners of two steam-tugs, the Uncle Sam and Countess of Lons dale, for services performed on the 25th September last to the ship Tigris, off the coast of Anglesea. An action ha been entered on their behalf in the sum of £3,500. Ti admitted value of the Tigris, with freight and cargo, w £42,962, and £157 103. had been tendered, being tt that could legally be demanded for stowage.

The object of this information was to obtain a scheme :gement of a small fund of £2OO, which had been bequeathed by Mrs. Anne Molyneux, of Liverpool. The will was dated 1727. The testatrix bequeathed to the Mayor of Liverpool and to the rectors of St. Peter and St. Nicholas, and to their successors, £2OO, for the use and benefit of poor prisoners for debt, or otherwise in the gaol or prison of Liverpool. • The will contained a re quest that the trustees should place the sum out on landed security, and dispose of the interest of it yearly, to and for the maintenance of such poor prisoners in such manner as the trustees thought fit." In consequence of the act for abolishing arrest on mesne process, and certain rules of the prison of Liverpool, it became necessary to have the aid of the Court in preparing a scheme, the interest hav ing been regularly applied, and the accumulations at pre sent amounting to 1276.

The officer appealed next day to the learned judge "to let him off;" but the application was not attended to. ODDFELLOWS' LODGES.—At the Durham Court of Chancery, on the 14th instant, Mr. Kindersley, the Chan cellor for the county, gave judgment in a case where cer tain members of the Durham Lodge of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, sought to recover from the trustees £295, which they had improperly transferred to one of them who had overdrawn his account. His Honour gave his judgment in favour of the defendants, on the ground of the illegality of the association. The judgment is clear and distinct, pointing out the difference between this case and that of Sharp v. Taylor, inasmuch as in that case ille gal practices, whereby the property was obtained were at an end, whereas in this case the plaintiffs came into court to ask protection against alleged illegal acts still going on. On the ground that the defendants had used the money improperly, each party was ordered to pay their own costs. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—At the Maidstone Assizes, on Thursday, Jane Emma Adams brought an action for damages against Richard Gibbs for breach of promise. One of the pleas put in by the defendant was, that the lady was labouring under consumption. It appeared that in 1848 he proposed marriage ; he was 48, the lady 24. He was a farmer, and so was his intended father-in-law. Arrangements were made to meet at an attorney's office, but the defendant did not keep his appointment, and disappeared altogether un til October last. It was supposed that he had gone to America, but he only came to Liverpool. On the cross examination of the plaintiff's father it was attempted to be shewn that she was consumptive, but the attempt failed. It was proved that she was ordered cod-liver oil. The doc tor who attended her deposed that she was not consump tive. Mr. Serjeant Shee then addressed the jury for the defendant. He commenced by observing that the defen dant had never intended in any way to cast the slightest slur upon the virtue, reputation, or conduct of the plain tiff or her family; and that he would have been proud to ally himself with the family but for the reason stated in that plea with regard to the state of health of the plaintiff, and which was the real and substantial defence he was in structed to make upon the present occasion. The learned counsel then remarked upon the dreadful extent to which the disease of consumption prevailed in this country, and he asked the jury if the defendant really believed that the woman to whOrn he was about to be allied was tainted with that disorder, and reflected upon the consequences that were likely to ensue, whether he was not morally justified, and whether he did more than perform his duty, in retuaing to effect auch an union. It was evident that his intention was to marry the plaintiff up to the very last moment, but when he became aware of the dreadful truth he did not know how to act. The defendant, at length driven to desperation by his position, and not having the fortitude to meet the difficulty in which he was placed, had adopted the only expedient which remained to him, of flying from his friends and,exiling himself from his coun try. Chief Justice Wilde having briefly summed up, the jury retired, and, after a short deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £BOO. THE AGITATORS IN THE CHURCH. We give in another column the solemn opinion of the highest dignitary in the church on the question of bap tismal regeneration. His grace enunciates his sentiments with his usual mildness, but we have little hope that this opinion will have any effect in allaying the irritation of the Tractarians, who, with all their professed reverence for the episcopal office, never offer the smallest regard to the dictum of any prelate, unless it fully accords with their own. This party are still as active as ever, and some of them have just published a list of "resolutions," bearing the signatures of Messrs. Pusey, Keble, Dodsworth, Bennett, Manning, and several of their confederates. In these " resolutions" it is first conveniently assumed that indis criminate baptismal regeneration, as insisted upon by the Bishop of Exeter, is a part of the creed 1 For that in the words, "one baptism for the remission of sins," lie hidden (certainly not expressed)—infant baptism—the washing away of sins in baptism, be the recipient worthy or unworthy—in short, that the whole Gorham contro versy is decided, fully and finally, by these seven words. Pity, if this were the case, that several days were occupied by the Bishop of Exeter's advocates in proving a point which these seven words had already decided ! However, having thus calmly assumed the whole question, these gentlemen go on to argue in their usual seditious style— " That, inasmuch as the faith is one, and rests upon one principle of authority, the conscious, deliberate, and wilful abandonment of the essential meaning of an article of the creed destroys the divine foundation upon which alone the entire faith is propounded by the church. " That airy portion of the church which does so abandon the essential meaning of an article of the creed, forfeits not only the Catholic doctrine in that article, but also the offico and authority to witness and teach as a member of the universal church. " That by such conscious, wilful, and deliberate act, such twenty of his imit Nor have iv,— behind him in this v.,, But ? why, then, do they not pass over t o : selves Why do they not ?
