There is a question which we wish to be answered by the conservative peers who opposed the Bishop of Exeter's mo tion upon the San Sulpice ordinance. These noble lords profess to believe the ordinance a bad thing in the abstract, a rescinding, indeed, of the Reformation, as far as the pro vince of Canada is concerned, but they hold that the legisla ture is- bound to sanction the evil, because Lord Bathurst supplied what has been tortured into a precedent for it, and, further, because of the long possession of the monks of San Sulpice, and of intimations dropped by Lords Goderich and Aberdeen that this possession might, on certain conditions, (not, however, the conditions reserved in the ordinance) be permitted to continue. . . . Now the question arising upon this argument which we ,sh to have answered is the following : Were not the Irish corporations, lately destroyed by the House of Lords by tie active influence of some of the con servative peers, and with the aid of the learned Recorder of Dublin, entitled to continue their existence, and to preserve their privileges and property, upon much stronger arguments (though of the same kind) than those to which the House of Lords, under conservative guidance, yielded in the case of San Sulpice ? The Irish corporation had a possession varying from 650 years to about 250 ; the longest possession that the monks of San Sulpice could claim did not exceed a century, and then possession under the English government was no thing like so long. The right of the Irish corporations was .guaranteed by charters of English kings, recognised by so lemn acts of the legislature, and protected by the law, which forbade that the conduct of corporations should be questioned anywhere but in the supreme court of criminal jurisdiction. The right of the monks of San Sulpice, such as it is, rests upon the charter of a French king, extinguished, as all such charters must be, by the conquest of the province, and on those obscure and equivocal intimations of ministers, without legislative authority, to which we have referred. We have put our question to the conservative peers. We shall now put a question to the country : is this equal deal ing between Protestants and Romanists? Is it fair that the most solemn engagements to Protestants should be treated as of no force, avowedly because they are engagements to men who maintain their character as Protestants ; while the slightest pretext of even an unauthorised promise to Roman ists, or of what can by ingenuity be twisted into the form of a prom ise, is to be regarded as an obligation of paramount force ?Is this—we repeat the interrogatory —equal dealing between Protestants and Rom a nists? Of course we do not apply ourselves to whigs or radicals, or to any others who may wish for the ascendancy of the Romish church, or at best regard the contest between Pro testantism and Popery as an indifferent matter while th e y profitably play the game of politics. It is natural for such to persecute impracticable Protestantism in Ireland, an d to promote Popery, the willing handmaid of politicians of all creeds and orders, in every country _toconservative where they can hope t o promote it. Our inquiry is addressed and to the conservatives of the country ; and we may em: peers body both our questions in one—of whathave these profess ing conservative peers shown themselves conservative_ in the matters of the Irish corporations and of the San S . ulpice ordinance? Is it of the right of property and privilege i n the one case, or of the reformation in the other? Intelligencer. THREATENING LETTER TO A JUDGE.—During the pre sent assizes Baron Rolfe has received a letter from the friends of Straker and others (the Birstal burglars), whom he had sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, threatening that, unless he revoked their sentence, he would be shot before he left York.—Halifax Guardian. " LOOK AFTER YOUR FORTUNES."—An industrious and peaceable working man, named Richard Hardman, in the employ of Messrs. Walton, Oates and Simpson, at their ex tensive bleaching premises at Crimple, near Knaresborough, received a letter a few days ago, requesting him to go and take possession of landed estates, &c., to the amount of £30,000, left to him unexpectedly by a relative in Lanca shire.-:--Halifax Guardian. THE APPROACHING CENSUS.—Active preparations are now being made for taking the decennial census, and instruc tions to this effect have already been sent to the registrars in the different parishes of the United Kingdom. Each parish will be divided into different districts, extending from 50 to 80 houses, and the,inquiries will be made by intelligent per sons residing in the neighbourhood, to be appointed by the local registrars. Each of the agents to be appointed will have to fill up all the details respecting the age, sex, exployment, &c, of the different occupants. On Monday, a circular was issued from the Home Office to the different district regis trars, assigning as a rate of remuneration the sum of lOs for every 50 houses, with one additional shilling for every 10 houses above this number. The inspectors will be appointed from intelligent tradesmen and others in the different dis tricts, by which means authentic details will be ensured. Inspectors have already been appointed for the purpose in most of the parishes in the eastern districts of the metropolis. CURIOUS AFFAIR.—The police reporters had an opportu nity of exercising their ingenuity in recording a circumst: of a curious character that occurred at the •Head Office ; Dublin, yesterday. It appeared that the lady of the Hon. Captain lost • a Cashmere shawl of a peculiar pattern some weeks ago. It was supposed to have been stolen out of her carriage. After some search was made it was given up as lost. The lady was driving through Nassau-street on Thursday, when she observed her shawl on an elegantly dressed young female. The owner of the shawl ordered her footman to request the attention of the wearer, when she made known her loss. The young lady said if they retired to her residence she could give every satisfaction as to the man ner whereby she became possessed of it. The young lady was invited into the carriage, and all drove off to a respectable looking house in Park-street. At this moment two gentle men were passing who happened to know the carriage of their military friend, and having ascertained that his lady was within a notorious house of ill fame, known as the Hotel, advised the coachman to apprise the lady of the fact. The horror of the lady's feelings at receiving the intelligence may be very well conceived. In the mean time the husband became acquainted with the affair, and having procured the assistance of the police, it was ascertained that the shawl had been stolen and sold to a receiver of stolen goods named Brown, for 55., who . sold it to the landlady of the Hotel for 10s., and she sold it to her " lodger" for 20s. Mrs. Brown was committed for trial for receiving the shawl, knowing it to be stolen.—London Standard. A CURIOUS CHARACTER.—A few days ago a man of very eccentric habits departed this life at his house in Broad street-buildings, in the 84th yeaK of his age. His name was John Yardley Vernon, and he had a fancy for.always ap pearing about the streets in the garb of a beggarnian. He was, we are given to understand, a stock-broker, having years ago, and by a careful and industrious course, realised upwards of £lOO,OOO, and yet he cut such a miserable figure in the streets that people have dropped alms into a little bag which it was his custom to carry. He never appeared to be offended at the mistakes which were thus made by the com passionate donors, but he invariably returned the money with a smile, and the words, " No, no, thank you." The refusal had always the effect of exciting astonishment, and the old gentleman walked on in an old pair of shoes, or rather slippers, not worth a penny. The parochial officers of the neighbourhood in which he resided say that he made it a rule to walk down to Whitechapel every day to get a glass of rum and water, in which he soaked some bread, a dish in which he took more delight than any other. His old habits of business were exemplified in his visits to butchers' stalls, in which he purchased bits of meat, and to brokers' shops, where he bargained for old pieces of furniture, in which he could have had no use, except the philosophical one of keeping up the excitement which the very show of business seldom fails to encourage. Mr. Vernon attended church regularly, but never entered a pew. He sat amongst the poorest parishioners, but frequently put upon the plate as much as would pay for a suit of the best clothes amongst the whole congregation. and there was not a charity in the ward to which he was not a principal contributor.—Morning Herald. GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking was held on Thursday, at their offices in Prince's-street. Robert Bright, Esq., in the chair. A very satisfactory report of the direc tors was read : the following is its substance. It stated, that since the last meeting, the Great Western steam-ship had made six voyages, the average time of her passages out hav ing been a little more than fifteen days and a half, and thir teen days and a half home ; and during the same period she had conveyed 1057 passengers. Her last arrival completed her thirty-fourth passage across the Atlantic, since which she has been docked, and is now reported to be in perfect condition. The experience of the two seasons in which the ship had made early voyages had induced the directors to be -1 eve that it would be more for the interest of the proprietors that her first should now be in April, and she will conse quently make five voyages only in the present year. The company's works are now in a very efficient state, and the entire stock of machinery is in daily and active operation. The directors having satisfied themselves that it would be for the interests of the company to get rid of the paddle in their iron ship, and to substitute a propeller upon the prin ciple of the Archimedian screw, have taken the necessary measures for that purpose; the slight alterations required in her frame were easily effected, and at a trifling cost. Had the last meeting 'empowered the board to raise temporary loans, the completion of the company's second ship in 1841 might have been effected, but this without unduly hurrying her work could not now be accomplished. By this period of next year, she will, the directors anticipate, be perfect for service. On the subject of the company's executing work for other parties, the directors deemed it light to say that their opinion was still entirely favourable to such an appli cation of their works. The period within which this ques tion might be most beneficially considered, should not ex ceed six months from that time, when, should a determina tion be come to not to manufacture for the public, it would become desirable to decide upon the steps to be taken in re ference to the works. By the additions made to the Great Western last year, her tonnage had been increased from 1340 to about 1700 tons, and the amount being £3,155: 6s. 4d. was added to her cost. The rates of premium paid on the Great Western in 1838 varied between £lO and £l2 per cent. ; in 1839 it was eight guineas, and in 1840 six guineas per cent. per annum, and the total consequent charge on the ship had been £13,606: I6s. The accounts of the past year accompany the report, and a dividend had been declared of 345. per share for the last half year, being, with that declared in August last, equal to 58s. per share or the year, or £8 : 18s. per cent. on the cost of the Great Western, £61,671 : 15s. 10d. The sum of £3,475: 10s. 11d. was carried to the reserved fund, which now stood at £8,021: 14s. 6d. The directors had also reserved out of the profits of the year (amounting to £9,350: 9s. 11d.) the sum of £430: 13s. in reduction of the loss sustained on the first voyage made by the ship, which was nearly £4,000, and of the expenses in curred in the formation of the company. The unusual sight of a Sister of Charity brought before the Correctional Tribunal was exhibited on Saturday. Sister Sainte Gabrielle, of the order of Scours Augustines, whose family name was Engelskirchen, aged 57 years, 32 of which she had passed in attending the sick, was arraigned upon an accusation of having committed homicide, by imprudence. On the 29th September, a young woman who was a conva lescent patient in the Hospice St. Louis, was prescribed a dose of Glauber salt, but by some negligence unexplained, a bottle of corrosive sublimate was placed in the medicine clo set. under the charge of sister St. Gabrielle, who unwittingly administered a quantity of it to the patient, instead of the salt, and of which she died in three hours, after suffering dreadful agonies. The administration of the poison by the hand of the prisoner was admitted by her, but she protested that she was totally ignorant of its nature, and produced evi dence to prove that corrosive sublimate was never before known to be in the same closet, and must have been placed there through the negligence of the chymist who supplied the hospital with drugs, or by some other accid en t un k nown to her. M. Chas. Ledru, who was counsel for the prisoner, said, on opening his defence, " In appearing by the side of this good sister, I have obeyed the express wish of the pro cureur-general, who has thusconferred upon me the most en viable task 1 ever had imposed upon me in my life." He then argued with great ability in favour cf his client's complete innocence, and ended his defence thus Condemn her! No, gentlemen. Permit me to say, without impeaching your justice, neither am I worthy of defending her, nor have you in any manner the right to judge her. It is the duty of all in her presence to say that we unite in rendering one and the same homage in her person to a being which can merit only our admiration and regret." The court, after a short deliberation, acquitted and discharged the prisoner, who had suffered severely in mind from the fatal event. She was at tended in court by the superior of her order at the hospital, who, previous to her trial, wrote to the judge, offering to un dergo any penalty the court might inflict in her stead. In her letter she said, " If you impose a fine upon her, I cannot pay it; for I have nothing, absolutely nothing, in the world. My daily revenue is derived from my sick patients, and this I pay into the bank of the hospice, which does not pay the interest on the capital. But if my sister is condemned to im prisonment, I entreat you to allow me to ask leave of the Archbishop of Paris to go into confinement in her stead." DARING BURGLARY AT STAIRFOOT TOLL-GATE HOUSE. —On Monday morning, about half-past two o'clock, a dar ing and diabolical burglary was committed at the Toll-gate House, situate at Stairfoot, near Barnsley, occupied by two industrious old people of the name of Oldroyd. It appears, from what we can gather, that at the hour above stated, some one came up to the bar, and called out " Gate." Oldroyd, hearing footsteps about the door at the time the call was made, supposed it to be only a hoax to get him out of bed ; how ever, in a short tiine another person came trotting up on horseback, and called out, lustily, " Gate : look sharp, I'm going to fetch the doctor to Mr. Micklethwaite, who will be dead before I can get him there if you don't look sharp." Oldroyd, on hearing this, and knowing Mr. Micklethwaite (who lived in a village a short distance off), opened the door immediately, but scarcely had he put his foot on the thres hold, when he was struck on the head with a bludgeon, from which he fell senseless upon the ground. After this they pulled his night-cap over his eyes, to prevent his seeing them. During this murderous attack four other men had rushed into the house, and made their way up the stairs to the old woman, who was in bed, and heaped the bed-clothes upon her and almost suffocated her, saying at the same time, if s h e ma d e a noise they would, murder hr. Whilst two of the villains were doing this, the others were searching for money, which they succeeded in finding to the amount of from three to four pounds, with which they decamped, going in the direction of Ardsley. The horse on which the villain was mounted was light grey. During the same morning, one of the labouring men in the employ of Mr. Harrison, farmer, of Grainge, getting up to go and look at a cow which was ill, on crossing the straw yard, saw four men running from the outbuildings. Had they not been detected at the time they were, Mr. Har rison would have been minus one of his valuable horses, as the thieves had bridled him, and got him out of the stable ready for walking off. The Farmers' Insurance Institution. Security to the assured being a matter of vital importance, it will be satis factory to our readers to learn that the names of 1,323 Share holders of this Institution have been enrolled, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of Parliament by which the com pany is empowered, and which list of names can be referred to at any time. Amongst them will. be,found some of the largest landowners, and, most distinguished farmers, in the kingdom. It is stated that the Marquis of Hertford is a heavy loser by the stoppage of the United States' bank. It is said that, fearful of a war between England and France, the noble marquis sold out from the English funds not less than £500,000, and transferred it. for better security to the United States' bank ; and has become minus to this large amount. A scientific gently:llan has lately patented a candle, which presents the apparent anamoly of being made without a wick. A wick is, however, supplied, being fixed to a rod, which is moved up and down, and through the centre of the composition, by the aid of a common spring lamp. Several lectures have been delivered at the Polytechnic Institution, upon the advantages, as a means of combustion, which this discovery embraces. It is termed the Soho lamp, and is now exhibiting on the east side of the square of that name. The light it affords is of great power and volume.—Dublin States man. SIR W. FOLLETT.—The present circuits promise to yield an abundant harvest to this distinguished lawyer, he having received no less than six special retainers in the Lent assizes —namely, at Liverpool, Lincoln, Chelmsford, Swansea, Exeter, and Taunton. The result of his exertions at Liver pool is no doubt very anxiously anticipated, he being leading counsel for the plaintiffs in the Heatley property cause ; and we are quite sure that if the most transcendant legal talents may be exercised in a manner that might secure a verdict, the case that is entrusted to Sir W. Follett will run no risk of failure. THE ASSIZES.—In the course of the afternoon of Wed nesday last, the whole of the 90 causes entered for trial in the Ist or West Riding List were disposed of, and at the rising of the court on Thursday evening, there were only a dozen of the 25 causes in the 2nd or North and East Riding List remaining to be tried. At the Crown end, although great efforts have been made to get through the business by the holding of subsidiary Courts and otherwise, there re mained on Thursday evening not less than half-a-dozen cases for trial, of which were the long cases of the Barnsley murder, and of Peter Foden for riot and sedition, each of which was expected to occupy something like a day. The general expectation, however, was that the business in both Courts would be got through to-day.—Leeds Intelligencer. UNGRATEFUL THIEF.—On Wednesday a woman fell from the north quay at the Bromielaw, and, while struggling in the water, a sailor gallantly sprung from the side of a boat ann got her out in safety. The heroic act was followed up by a generous offer on the part of the tar to take the woman home to his house in Oswald-street, in order that she might have her clothes dried, which was readily accepted. On ar riving at the house in question, the rescued fair one had her dripping clothes exchanged for a much better dress belonging to the wife of her preserver ; but before the drying operation could be completed, she found an opportunity, while dallying with the sailor's child at the door, to make off with the suit with which she was accommodated, and has not since been heard of.—Scottish Standard. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—On Monday last, as a police-officer was taking prisoners from Halifax to Wakefield House of Correction, in the Manchester and Leeds Railway carriages, one of them, committed for housebreaking, asked to have his handcuffs taken off, es he was in great pain from the pressure on his wrists. The request was, from kind feeling, no doubt, com plied with ; and the man no sooner felt himself liberated, than he leaped out of the carriage, although the train was then going at full speed. An alarm being given, the engine was stopped and put back, and the poor wretch was found with his skull fractured, and both his legs broken. He was taken up into the train again, and conveyed from the railway station on a board to the House of Correction.—Leeds paper. AMERICAN POLITENESS.—(From a Correspondent.) — Just before I left America I was at Washington, and hap pened to be at the foot of the steps by the Senate House. I saw our minister, Mr. Fox, about to ascend them, when he was accosted by a half-drunken Yankee in these words : " What do you do here, sir ? I guess you're one of the Bri tishers, whom we are going to turn out of the country ; so be off." And, suiting the action to the word, the fellow took hold of the collar of Mr. Fox's coat, who desired him to desist, or he would find he had got an awkward customer to manage. But this warning being of no avail, our minister gave his assailant a regular Mendoza hit, which sent him sprawling down the steps. A crowd, of course, assembled, among whom were several American officials ; and the latter instantly took Mr. Fox into the office of the Secretary of State, where, as well as in public, great pains have been taken to hush up a matter so discreditable to American manners. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM THE CITY PRISON.—TyIer, the young man who was sentenced at our late assizes to 15 years' transportation, for a burglary, and who was in the city gaol awaiting the order for histemoval, made an attempt to get out of his irksome confinement on Sunday night last. On the following morning, Mr. Griffiths, the governor, went round to examine the cells, according to his usual custom, when he found in the prisoner's cell the brick-work loosened to a considerable extent ; the prisoner, upon being ques tioned, acknowledged that he had laid a scheme to make his exit from the prison, by first removing the bricks by means of a small knife • be had then intended to make his way to the boundary wall, and to get over by tying his blankets to gether, with a hi ick appended ; his knife, however becoming useless before he could make a hole in the wall, the plan was frustrated. He is now in irons.— Worcester Journal. THE CATHEDRAL AND PALACE AT HEREFORD.—It has been already stated that the Lady Chapel (a beautiful speci men of nglish architecture) in this time-honoured edifice, is about to be restored ; and in addition to this, the process of removing the odious plaster and whitewash from the massy columns in the nave of the cathedral is proceeding. The richly-variegated stone of which they are composed is thus brought to light, and the appearance of the whole is much lighter and more elegant. Another great improvement will be effected by the repair or rebuilding of the Bishop's Palace, which is now in progress. With these alterations, and the building of St. Nicholas's Church and of a new city gaol, work seem likely to be plentiful this summer ' • and if we take, in conjunction with this fact, the recent establishment of a society for aiding the industrious, it seems not impro bable that our neighbours of Hereford will enjoy the dis tinction of not having an able-bodied pauper among them. — Worcester Journal. HYDROPHOBIA AT WESTBROMW ICH.-A poor man named Stanley, recently died from this horrible malady, after three days' illness. The poor fellow stated that he had not been bitten by any dog since about seven years ago ; but it is sup posed he must have been slightly bitten several times since, as he had a habit of fighting with dogs in sport. A gentle man who saw him on the day of his death states that the paroxysms were dreadful, but the sufferer was perfectly sane and composed in the intervals between the fits. The posi mortem appearances were increased by vascularity of the brain, with softening of the cerebellum, and a very consider able softening of the upper portion of the spinal marrow. We understand that Messrs. Chance, the deceased's late em ployers, have kindly furnished the widow and children with employment. There are seven of the latter.— Warwick Ad vertiser. CAUTION.—BREAKING OPEN WAREHOUSES AND IRON SAFES.—During the night of Thursday last one or two very determined attempts to.get at the contents of safes in well secured warehouses, were made, but fortunately with but small booty, though in all other respects the efforts were most completely successful. In one instance the thieves appear to have shown all the dexterity and skill of practised cracksmen. Some time between the hour of eight o'clock on Thursday night, and the same hour on Friday morning, the thieves effected an entrance into the counting-house of Messrs. Peel, Williams, and Peel, ironfounders, 17, Pall Mall, by unlocking or picking the padlock on the outer door, and also opening the fixed lock on the door, doubtless with a key with which they had provided themselves for the purpose, for they again locked the door inside, leaving the key in the lock. They do not seem to have sought for any booty in these premises ; but, having forced their way thence into the adjoining ware house of Messrs. Rostron Brothers, they dragged the iron safe from its stand into an adjoining room, and having care fully wrapped it round with fustian pieces, and padded it, so as to deaden the sound, they proceeded to break it in pieces with a large sledge hammer ; but though in this they suc ceeded, they were disappointed by finding that all the cash bad been removed. The thieves appear to have quitted the premises without making any further attempts, or taking any property away with them. They made their egress by a door into Pall Mall (not the principal one) which was locked and barred inside, and which they left unfastened. They also left behind them their implements, consisting of two crow-bars, and a very large sledge hammer. In all probability this was the second attempt of the kind made during the same night by the same parties; for we understand that the warehouse of Mr. John Hall, iron merchant, 64, Port-street, was also broken into, and the iron safe broken, apparently by similar means; but here, too, the booty of the thieves was very in considerable. As no ordinary safe can be secure against such attempts, it behoves all who are in the habit of relying per haps too much upon the secarity of these boxes, to be careful to leave as little cash in as possible.—Manchester Guardian. ACCIDENT ON THE BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY.— An inquest was held at Chorley, on yesterday se'nnight, be fore Mr. Palmer, coroner, on the body of a man named John Tyson, 33 years of age, who was employed as an engineer on the Bolton and Preston 'Railway, now forming at Chorley. Peter Crosby, labourer, was examined, and he stated that himself, the deceased, and two others, were engaged, on Tuesday afternoon, the 9th instant, in heaving on the drum of the machine, the rope connected with which was fastened to a balk of timber laid against another piece, and when the balk was lifted up, it overbalanced, and they were not able to prevent it from falling upon the deceased, by which it threw him into the cog-wheel, the engine being going at the same time. The right thigh of deceased was broken, and he was otherwise crushed. After he was got out he was taken to his sister's house, in Chorley, and Mr. Pollard, surgeon, promptly attended to him, and gave him all the assistance in his power, but the deceased only continued to survive until the following day, and then died. .He was in perfect good health before the accident happened, and witness had no doubt that his d ea th was cause d b y t h e i n j ur i es he then re ceived. David Williamson, another labourer employed on the line, and one of the four engaged in raising the timber, corroborated the evidence given by the former witness. The jury then gave a short deliberation to the statements of the witnesses, and afterwards returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." THE WEATHER. — Despite of poor Murphy's wager, that the Thames would he frozen sufficiently to bear hackney coaches by the Ist of March, and in defiance of Dr. Burney's meteorological threats respecting the intensity of the cold in this month, the warmth of the sim's rays has been unusually fervent for so early a period of the year. The weather during the past fortnight has been of an extraordinary kind, for by night we have had the fogs of No vem b er, w hil e the day has b ee n metamorphosed into June. Everything is now budding forth, and giving abundant promise of Nature's continued bounty—trees, hedgerows, woods, gardens, and the planted fields : " 0, how delightful is the bursting spring, the warm blood leaps ni' hen _ leaps imbly th roug h t h e veins, And with the budding forth and blossoming Of fields and groves, methinks the soul attains Fresh life and greenness, wantons in the breeze, Sings with the birds , and with the waving trees Dances in unison." We have, however, heard fears expressed that the month of March is this year rather too precocious, and th a t th e p l ants and fruit-trees (many of which are now in the thi c k est bl oom) will fall victims to the biting frosts which are not unreason ably to be expected in this and the ensuing month. B u t w h y should we anticipate evil? It is always the wisest p o li cy to look on the bright side, to enjoy the present moment, and be grateful for the blessing. The wheat is at present everywh ere looking in excellent health, and the agricultural operations of laying manures on the land, &c., have been highly favoured by that boon to the farmer—a dry March. To-day, however (Wednesday), we have had an instalment of April weather, inflecting and warm showers.—Berrow's Worcester Journal. THE SEDUCTION BlLL.—This bill, brought in by Mr. W. Miles and Mr. Sotheron, proposes to enact, amongst other provisions, that women who, under promises of marriage, shall have become the mothers of bastard children, &c., or their parents, guardians, or mistresses, &c., shall be em powered to make complaint against the putative fathers to justices of the peace, and that such justices may, if the charge be proved to their satisfaction by one credible witness at least besides the plaintiff, convict the defendant in a certain penalty, to be paid in cases of breach of promise of marriage to the plaintiff for his own use, &c. ; and that if the fine be not paid, the said justices may issue warrants of distress, or commit the defendants to prison, with or without hard la bour. This arbitrary and unconstitutional measure can hardly be denounced too strongly, as it takes away entirely from the defendant the privilege of being tried by a jury. be sides subjecting him to false and vexatious accusations on the part of worthless and profligate females, who may constantly perjure themselves with a view to obtain the fine which may be levied against the defendants, whilst, as a means of pre vention against vice and profligacy, the bill is likely to prove a decided failure. It was rejected by the House of Com mons, we believe, last session, and we trust that it will ex perience the same fate this year. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. —Yesterday morn ing, about twelve o'clock, a woman named Gage, about 30 years of age, whose husband has been in the employ of Messrs. Stevens, law-booksellers, in Bell-yard, Fleet-street, for many years, residing in Little Shire-lane, made a despe rate attempt at self-destruction, by cutting her throat with a table-knife; but whether from the instrument not being sufficiently sharp, or failing in her resolution, she threw open the window and precipitated herself to the pavement be neath, having no other clothing on but her chemise. She was immediately removed to King's College Hospital, where, in spite of the severe nature of - the injuries she received, hopes are entertained of her recovery. It appears that the wretched woman is of very dissipated habits, being always in a state of intoxication when she can procure the money for that purpose, and the previous day bad been very drunk, and was during the night found by a policeman sitting on the step of a door, when he removed her to the station-house, and afterwards knocked up her husband, who went and took her home. Little doubt can be entertained that drinking has destroyed her reason ; and some time since her husband was obliged to put her in the workhouse in consequence, and she has been considerably worse since the death of an only child, about twelve months ado.—Merning Herald. A CANINE POSTBEARER.—A very interesting scene may be witnessed any day on the road to Derby. It appears that the Derby mail is met every morning, at ten o'clock, by a dog from an extensive ironworks at orksop, waiting to be the bearer of the letter bag for his master, which is regularly dropped by the guard without waiting. If, however, the canine messenger is not somewhere about at ten, the horn is sounded, and the dog is immediately observed in the distance coming along the road with all speed to meet the mail at the lane-end ; but this is very seldom the case, as the dog usually seats itself upon the walls adjoining the works, listening for the approach of the mail. When the bag is thrown down the faithful creature, without delay, invariably takes the nearest way home through the hedge and over the fields. Later in the day the empty bag is brought back by the dog to meet the same mail to Derby, but, in consequence of the guard not getting off his seat, it is necessary to send a person with the bag, who can throw it upon the mail while it is going. The dog, feeling his inability to supply the deficiency, denotes his anxiety by barking and howling. With this ex ception the animal performs all the duties of a letter carrier for his master " with punctuality and despatch." Ma. M`LuoD.—We confess we do not like to see a case, involving a gross and most dangerous violation of the law of nations, argued like a common charge of felony, on the low ground of an alibi. What matters it to the authority and dignity of the British crown, thus outraged and insulted in the person of its subject, whether AV Leod was present at the burning of the pirate vessel the Caroline or not? The charge against him is, that he was there ; and the insult to'Great Britain consists in the American authorities continuing to keep him as a prisoner, and to try him for his life, notwith standing the declaration of our government that the burning of the Caroline was an act done under its own authority. The result of the trial has nothing to do with the merits of the case, as between our government and that of America. That there should be a trial at all is the wrong and outrage for which Great Britain has a right to demand satisfaction. That the buccaneering " sympathisers" of the state of New York have received the most direct encouragement in their outrageous proceedings in the American congress, is a la mentable fact ; nor can there be any doubt that nothing but the most energetic conduct, on the part of our government, can prevent the intended murder I—Morning Herald. DIIDLEY.—Last week, Jonah Child, the celebrated portrait painter, died, aged 69. He was a very singular character ; he had his coffin made 16 years ago, and used it as a book case. UN ENFANT TERRIBLE.—A travelling pedlar with his pack arrived, a short time ago, at Aubencheul-an-Bois, not far from Cambria, and, entering the only public-house, de mdnded his supper and a bed. The house being full, the latter could not be afforded him, but an inhabitant of the village, who was present, offered him one in his own cottage. The poor man gladly accepted it, and being fatigued by his day's journey retired, and was soon souneasleep, with his pack by his side. The villager had at first no evil intentions, but overcome by the demoniacal instigations of his wife, he in the middle of the night, got up, beat out the brains of his sleeping guest, and threw the body into a marl-pit, at the bottom of which was a quantity of water. The pack was then opened, and its contents, consisting chiefly of hosiery, were divided among the family. Next morning the child of the murderers, who was very young, appeared with a pair of new stockings, which excited the envious inquiries of its play mates. The hild, in the simplicity of its age, told them that they were found in the pack of a man whom its father had killed in the night ; but the story was so improbable that no one believed it, till some days afterwards, the wife of the pedlar not having heard from him traced him to the village, and came in search of him. The magistrate was called in, the child examined, the marl-pit sounded, the body of . the murdered pedlar discovered, and the murderer and his wife arrested.—Galignani's Messenger. MISCELLANEOUS By the death of the late Miss Hesketh, of Tulketh Hall, Lancashire, aunt to Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, M.

A GREAT CHANGE —Some years thing for the principal inn in Lioness pair of horses engaged in posting to York day previous to their commencement. being the day before the opening of the present assizes, only one pair was required from the first posting-house in that town.

It appears that the deceased had taken a walk to a neigh bour's house, and on her return had been seized with apo plexy. The vital spark had not been long extinct before the body was found, but too late for medical assistance.---Leeds RAILWA ASIVION-UNDrR"LYNE, AND lgArtcnEsTEß .....—Yesterday week, abed of coal, of a good quality, was found in the tunnel now very fast progressing, at the summit of this railway. This circumstance will, no doubt, be of considerable advantage to the company, and we trust we may congratulate the shareholders on their good fortune. - . —The three gentlemen, Messrs. Cope, Bather, , who stand at the head of the first class of the 6 e Classical Tripos, are, it is said, schoolfellows ; o proceeded together from. Shrewsbury school to col 6e. Such a circumstance is said to be unprecedented in the annals of either university. CAMBRIDGE and Thring Carnbridi Gavin Amongst the alterations and improvements now in progress in the city, none is more striking than the conversion of the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street, into the Wesleyan Centenary Hall and Mission House. It will be recollected that, in consequence of the hundredth year from the formation of methodism having elapsed, a liberal subscription was entered into, and the amount of which now exceeds half a million of pounds sterling. The City of Lon don Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street, was, in consequence, purchased by the directors of the Wesleyan Missionary So ciety for a large sum, and a great expense has bt..en incurred in the necessary alterations and repairs. The interior of the building has been converted into different offices of the various societies connected with this branch of the dissent ing denomination, and the building presents a fine aspect from Threadneedle-street. All the ordinary meetings con nected with the missions will be held at this new establish ment, in the spacious rooms which it contains.

Holders have made a stand, and are satisfied not to press their stocks on the market, merely selling in small parcels to meet the demand. On Saturday 1500 to 2009 bales were sold, 500 of them to a speculator, and to-day we estimate the total amount at 2500 to 3000 bales, chiefly .in American descriptions, from 6id to George Biggs Orchard, Bath, upholsterer.

B. P. 2300 bags of Bengal have been disposed of at 63s to 72s 3d per cwt. for the low middling white. Foreign.-- One or two holders having evinced a disposition to realize, the sales of the week are at lower rates. and comprise about 90 cases Bahia, at 19s 6d to 20s for brown, and 21s to 23s for ordinary to fair white. At a public sale of Cuba Muscovado, and Havana very little was done. Bonded Refined.—Several sales have been made at former prices. No sales to report in Molasses. Coffee.-180 casks British Plantation have been sold at auction this week ; although the bidding was languid, former rates were obtained for middling and fine.descriptions, but for ordinary qualities a further decline of fully 3s was submitted to. The sales of Foreign have been 1440 bags La Guayra, all faults, at 27s tid, and 50 of Bahia at 42s per cwt. A small lot of Pimento sold at 3d, and upwards of 500 bags black Pepper at lid to aid per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa or Ginger. so tees. fine Carolina Rice sold at 36s per cwt. duty paid, and a small lot of Bengal, in bond, at 155 3d to 15s tid per cwt. Rum.—No sales of B. P. worthy of notice ; a few pipes Havana, 12 per cent. U. P., have been sold at is Sd per gallon. Tea.—During the week there has been a good demand for low Greens, for exportation • the market for home-use has been very firm, and a fair business done at our quotations. No sales reported in Indigo. 5o chests of block Shell Lac sold at 35s 6d; 20 of Gum Arabic at 24s to 465; and 24 boxes of Tincal at 50s per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 19 The market was very steady on Saturday and Monday, when a good deal was done on speculation ; but the flat accounts received from Manchester on Tuesday, and the packet from America, which arrived . on that morning, having brought no intelligence of con sequence in addition to previous advices, caused a considerable suspension of demand, and the limifed sales of the last four days are at a reduction of id to id per lb for the low to fair qualities of American ; Surat is also rather lower, whilst other descriptions remain as before quoted. 8500 American and 700 Surat hake been taken on speculation. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 13th to the Igth instant, inclusive. Prices paid , IMPORTS in the week.ThisWk.lthis year SALES OF THE WEEK LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 20 The imports of Grain, &c. from Ireland, since this day se'nnight, have continued light, but from the English coast there are reported 21,g00 quarters of Wheat, 3,900 quarters of Barley, 1,99.1 quarters of Beans, and 5,200 quarters of Malt. The foreign arrivals include 1,530 quarters of Wheat, 740 quarters of Oats, 3,190 quarters of Beans, and 500 barrels of Flour, all of which, under the present state of the duties, will, doubtless, be placed in bond. From British America we have received 3,100 barrels of Flour. Through out the week the trade, generally, has ruled dull; at yesterday's market we had scarcely auy country buyers in attendance, and, the largest supplies of Wheat already noticed (consisting chiefly of free foreign brought round from London) including our town millers to confine their purchases within the narrowest limits their necessities would permit, few sales occurred, though holders, generally, were offering their samples at a decline of 2d per 701bs. Flour has undergone no change in value, but has, latterly, sold less freely than at the beginning of the week ; a remark that may be equally well applied to Oatmeal. Oats have not met any extension of de mand, but have still been in so small supply that they have maintained lull prices. English malting Barley must be noted id per quarter cheaper. Beans have barely maintained their previous value. Peas as last quoted. 1,000 garters of Bannato Wheat, of middling quality, have changed hands, in bond, at 5s 6d per 701b5., and 2,000 barrels of United States Flour have been sold to arrive at 24s 3d to 24s 6d per barrel.
