imptrtiti Varitaireitt, HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY, CLERGY RESERVES. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the learned judges then in attendance should deliver their decision in answer to the questions submitted to them with regard to the clergy re serves bill. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, of the Court of Common Pleas said, that he had the honour of representing to their lord ships, that all the judges of England, with the exception of Lord Denman and Lord Abinger. had met at Serjeant's Inn, for the purpose of taking into consideration the several ques tions which their lordships had been pleased to propose to them ; and that after discussion and deliberation on the sub ject, they had agreed unanimously in the answers to be re turned to those questions. In answer to the first question, they were all of opinion that the words " protestant clergy in the statute 31st George 111. included other clergy besides those of Church of England. They thought that the words of the statute were meant principally to refer to the doctrines of the Church of Rome, and that their aim was to encourage the protestant doctrines in opposition to those of the Romish church. They answered to the second question, that the es tablished Church of Scotland constituted one instance of a clergy included in the act. They had come to that opinion, as the expressions, " established Church of Scotland," were to be found in the statute book. Although, in answer to their lordships' question, they specified no other church than the Church of Scotland, they did not mean to decide that the ministers of no other churches might not be included in the term, " protestant clergy." At the same time, as they did not find in the statute book any other denomination of Chris tians, to which the statute of George 111. could apply, they were unable to specify any others to their lordships as falling within the statute. They were of opinion; that the 41st sec tion of the statute was prospective only, and that the power given by it could not affect lands which had been appropri ated under other acts. In answer to the last question proposed by their lordships, they all agreed in opinion that the legis lative council assembled in the province of Upper Canada, had exceeded their authority in passing an act to provide for the sale of clergy reserves , and for the distribution thereof in respect of both the enactments specified in their lordships' questions.—The judges afterwards retired. Earl STANHOPE presented the petition adopted at the Free masons'-hall meeting against the opium trade. The Earl of ROSEBCRRY complained of the conduct of parties at that meeting, in having prejudged the whole ques tion. Earl STANHOPE said that he approved of the whole pro ceedings, and that he was quite prepared to take his share of the blame imputed by the noble earl. . . Y Lord STRANGFORD directed attention to a revival, by France, of the slave trade on the western coast of Africa. Lord MELEOURNE promised to make inquiry into the matter. _ _ _ Lord MELBOURNE moved the second reading of the mu nicipal corporations.(lreland) bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he should not op pose the second reading, but in the committee he hoped to see several amendments. The Earl of WINCHELSEA moved, as as amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Their lordships eventually divided. There were for the second reading 131; against it 32—majority 99. The committee was fixed for Thursday week ; after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. After the presentation of many petitions, on many sub jects, Mr. LABOUCHERE intimated his intention of moving amendments on the resolution to be proposed by Mr. Herries on Tuesday evening. Mr. HOME (having got Lord Palmerston into the house) put to him, agreeably to notice, the following questions : 1. Whether, as stated in public papers, the British government has again interfered, through Lord Ponsonby, to prevent the Sultan from entering into direct negotiations with Mehemet Ali for a settlement of their differences ; and whether, on that occasion, it has acted in concert with the other European powers, or their ministers at Constantinople. 2. Whether any orders have been issued by her Majesty's government for reprisals against Mehemet Ali ; whether. as stated in public journals, two ships sent by Mehemet Ali to bring re cruits from Albania to Candia, had been detained by a Bri tish frigate, and conducted to Corfu; and, whether returned or not. 3. Whether orders had been issued by her Majesty's ministers, or by Lord Ponsonby, to Colonel Hodges, the British Consul-General in Egypt, to interfere in the affairs of Egypt, by giving subjects of the Sultan passports, to leave Egypt under protection of English passports. Lord PALMERSTON announced that the same state of affairs now existed as when the produbtion of correspondence with regard to negociations was moved for; but that he was quite ready to answer the questions. In the first place, in July last, the representatives of the Five Powers, fearing that the sultan might make unnecessary and injurious concessions to Mehemet Ali, presented' a note in the name of their respec tive courts, requesting him not to enter into negotiations with Mehemet Ali respecting anything that had been done without the concurrence of the Five Powers. As to the affair of the ships, information having been received by the High Commissioner of the lonian Islands that two ships had ar rived to recruit, inquiries were made with regard to the officer, who was an agent of Mehemet Ali, and it was found that they were there for the purpose of decoying certain sub jects of the Porte of Albania to proceed to Egypt to form troops to act against the sultan, and Sir Howard Douglas took steps accordingly, and two Greek ships, that were hired for the purpose, were taken. The ships were detained for a short time, and were afterwards released. With regard to the third question, no orders had been given to Col. Hodges, because, as was well known, it was not the practice, except in peculiar cases to give passports to any but British sub jects ; but as this question concerned the officers of the Turkish empire, he had no hesitation in saying that Col. Hodges would only perform his duty if he afforded any pro tection he was able to give it to any subjects of the sultan who, having been engaged in rebellion, were desirous of re turning to their allegiance. Sir R. PEEL asked whether the mediation of the French government for the settlement of the existing differences between England and Naples had been offered; and, if so, whether it had been accepted. Lord PALMERSTON answered that the good offices of the French government for the arrangement of the differences between her Majesty's government and that of Naples were made some time ago, and had been immediately accepted by her Majesty's government. At the same time a similar offer had been made by the French government to the government of Naples; and it appeared, from the latest despatches received both from Naples and Paris, that that offer had been accepted by the government at Naples. Sir R. PEEL thereupon asked whether the order for repri sals had in consequence been rescinded ? Lord PALMERSTON replied, that it had been agreed that as soon as our representative at the Court of Naples should be officially informed of the arrival of any French diplomatist charged to exercise the good offices of the French Govern went, he was immediately to transmit to the officers com manding her Majesty's ships instructions to suspend re prisals for a certain time, but from despatches received he learned that at the moment that the French mediation was accepted by the King of Naples. and when, according to the agreement, the reprisals would have been stopped, the Nea politan government laid an embargo on all British vessels in Neapolitan ports, and, consequently, the order for reprisals had not yet been suspended. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to inquiries said, that it was not now the intention of her Majesty s government to pro pose, this session, any grant on the subject of " emigration." Mr. P. SCROPE asked what progress had been made in the negotiations for compensation to British merchants for losses sustained by them in consequence of the bombard ment of Antwerp. Lord PALMERSTON answered, that claims had been made by the representatives of the British government on the Belgian government, at the same time that similar claims had been made on the Belgian government by the representatives of other governments for losses sustained by their subjects at Antwerp. Those claims were made some time ago. A written reply had been received, which was at present under the consideration of her Majesty's government. Mr. F. FRENCH asked what step was intended to be taken with regard to the re-appointment of the medical committee. Mr. F. MAULE answered that the subject was entirely in the hands of Mr. Warburton, and therefore he could not answer the question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Mr. Goulburn's inquiry, said that it was the intention of the government, during the session, to bring forward the sub ject of the mode of paying the expenses of the armament preparing for service in China. Mr. R. GORDON, in answer to Col. Sibthorp's inquiry, stated that he should soon present a return of the expenses attending Dr. Bowring's mission. Mr. HUME observed, in reference to a notice that he had on the paper, to move for the immediate production of Dr. Bowring's report with regard to our commercial relations with Egypt and Syria, he wished to know whether that re port would soon be laid before the house. Lord PALMERSTON answered that considerable part of Dr. Bowring's report referred to political subjects, and that it would not, therefore, he prop er t o .ay it before the house ; but that part which referred to our commercial relations would shortly he produced. Mr. Hvad thereupon withdrew his contemplated motion. The house then resolved into committe e o f supply, in. which Mr. R. GORDON mbved many resolutio ns for grants, on the " miscellaneous estimates ;" and many of them called forth observations on the new buildings of the British Mu-, sewn, the " Parliament houses," &c. The report of the resolutions adopted in the estimates was ordered to be received on Tuesday. Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in two bills :- 1. "For the registration of parliamentary electors." 2. "To make further provisions respecting certain rights of voting in the election of members of parliament." In doing so he entered into details of the leading provisions of the proposed bills. The.remaining business having been disposed of, the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The House of Lords did not sit to-day. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. The Commons sat for a short time. Mr. Bruce took his seat for Elgin, and Sir A. Brook for Fermanagh, both on tha o ppo s iti on benches. Petitions were presented in great numbers, and on various subjects ; After which Lord M ORPETH , a ll u di n g to t h e v i o l en t an d awful death of a near relative of his noble friend the Secre tary for the Colonies, said it was due to the interest of the question involved in the discussion of the Irish registration bill,, as well as to the position which the noble lord the Se cretary for the Colonies held in the house, that he should, if possible, be present at the discussion, and he (Lord Morpeth) therefore ventured to express a hope that the noble lord (Lord Stanley) would consent to the postponement of the order for going into committee. Lord STANLEY said, that though he felt the great impor tance which was attached to the question, of which the nu merous attendance, in expectation of its discussion, was the best proof, yet after the appeal which had been made to him, and seeing how desirable it was that the noble lord, the Se cretary for the Colonies, should he present at the considera tion of so important a measure, he felt that he could not do otherwise than consent. He must at the same time say, th at as the question was one of such vital importance, he might fairly expect, on the part of her Majesty's ministers, that some other day, and at no distant period, should be appoint. ed for the discussion. The only object which he had in view was to secure for the question a full, fair, and impartial dis cussion. He only desired that the bill should stand or fall by its own merits. It was ultimately settled that the committee should be postponed till Monday, the 18th, on the understanding that the motion should have precedence of all others on that day, even if any adjourned debate should be the order of the day. Sir It. Isoi.is for 'the same melancholy cause which had occasioned the postponement of Lord Stanley's bill, stated that he should not proceed with the motion respecting religi ous instruction, of which he had given notice, for Thursday. Sir R. PEEL said, that as the education vote would be one of those contained in the miscellaneous estimates on Friday, it would be well, for the same melancholy reason, to post pone that, or any other vote which might lead to discussion. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER would not propose any vote which might lead to such a result. Sir J. WALSH wished to know when the evidence before the Cambridge election committee would belaid upon the table ? Mr. GOULBURN said he had heard that it would be ready on Friday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of.

The lamentable murder of Lord William Russell will, of course suspend all important discussion for some days. FOREIGN INTELLIGENT. INDIA. A letter foom Bamean,4lated February the Bth, states that Post MahomeA-kad met with every inhospitable reception at the court of Bokhara. His son i had attempted to escape, but had been recaptured and brought back, and all his fol lowers sent off to Kooloum in a wretched plight, destitute even of the common means of support. Jubbur Khan in tended, it was said, to make overtures to the British on behalf of his brother. The winter was extremely cold on the confines of Affghanistan, and proved particularly fatal to the Hindoostanees. All idea of a Turkistan campaign had been given up. The Agra Ulchbar of the 7th of March, mentions on the other hand, that our European troops in Cabul were suffering severely from sickness. A large convoy then en route to Jellalabad and Cabul, would, it was hoped, go far to restore as it carried a plentiful supply of provisions not procurable in the country. Letters from Bushire to the 20th of February mention that the ex-governor Sheik Hussein, bad commenced block ading the port of Bushire, in retaliation for his late sup pression by the court of Shiraz. It appears that he is possessed of only one middling sized bungalow with about 50 men, yet the Persian government have not a vessel to send against him. He is accordingly inflicting considerable injury on the trade of the port. The Sir Robert Compton had arrived at Bushire, also the Hon. Company's ship Coote, which was acting as guardship for the protection of British property. An express from the political authorities of Bundelcund, arrived at Seepree on the I lth instant, directing Scindia's reformed contingent to proceed with all possible haste to a fort called Jignah, in which certain turbulent Thakoors have taken shelter and openly defied the British agents. This hill fort is represented as being of considerable strength, and from the circumstance of these chiefs having shown every determination to resist at all hazards, there is every pro bability that the fott will hold out until the guns and howitzers of the contingent have made a proper impression on it. We understand that the Bundelcund Legion had a skirmish with and drove off a large body of men armed with matchlocks. The contingent marched on the 12th instant, the day Brigadier Anquetel was expected at Seepree. A few days ago we published a piece of intelligence derived from a correspondent in Arracan, to the effect that the Bur mese were stockading upon our side of the line of demarca tion. The following letter, received yesterday, gives some further information upon the subject, and strips the affair of its warlike character : " ARRACAN, FED. 8, 18-10.—Have just seen a letter from an officer who has visited the post of Myee, and made par ticular inquiries into the native officer's report, anent the Burmese being building a stockade on our side the mountains. The report, like many others given in by natives, is found to be an exaggeration. It is true that certain subjects of the Golden Empire were on our side the boundary cutting tim ber, but it has not turned out equally correct that said timber was then and there fashioned into the beams of a stockade, though for what purpose the men were cutting timber has not been explained. Now, although the Indian government may, and certainly does not, require this timber for its own particular wants at the present time, yet it is no less, certain that the Burmese ' hewers of wood' have not a shadow of right to trespass on the domain of their too unsusceptible neighbours, and do havoc on the forest without so much as saving ' by your leave.' ." Again, tht• motive the Burmese may have for cutting this timber remains a mystery ; that the timber is required for transport does not appear probable, since the road is a mere mountain tract, and carriage out of the question ; if, there fore, they do not intend building a stockade on the pass, I cannot conceive what use they intend making of the timber ; it cannot be supposed men would labour without an object in view." CHINA. The accounts from China, received on the 27th ultimo, under date the 20th of January, reported the seizure of two vessels 'at Wharnpoa by the Chinese, on the plea that they had brought up goods belonging to the English. The Em peror had confirmed all the acts of High Commissioner Lin, so that all trade with China might be considered at an end until the final issue of the expedition. The British men-of war were then blockading the Canton river. The Bengal Hurkaru, of the 20th of March, contains news from China to the 15th of January. It states that the in troduction of British goods in American and other vessels, were still rigorously prevented the Chinese authorities had promised to release Mr. Gribble by the 15th of January, and the Volage had proceeded to the Bogue, with a view of blockading the port in the event of the Chinese detaining him a day beyond the time named for his emancipation. Four Chinese junks had arrived at Singapore from different parts of the coast of China, the men on hoard of which state that every thing was quiet in China, and that smuggling was going on glibly • while others state that the opium prohibi tions were rigidly enforced. According to the same journal, a highly respectable mercantile house in Calcutta had re ceived a letter from Singapore, stating that the officer com manding her Majesty's ships in the China seas had an nounced his determination to blockade the Bocca Tigris if Mr. Gribble should not be released on or before the 24th of January. The Bengal Hurkaru of the 16th of March, publishes the following staff appointments of the China expedition:— " To provide for the staff duties of the force about to pro ceed on service to the eastward, the Right Hon. the Gover nor-General of India in council is pleased to make the fol lowing appointments : " Major A. H. S. Mountain, of her majesty's 26th Foot, to be deputy adjutant-general. " Major R. Becher, 62d Regiment Native Infantry, to be deputy quartermaster-general. " Major It. W. Wilson, 65th Regiment Native Infantry, to be paymaster. " Major F. S. Hawkins, 39th Regiment Native Infantry, to have charge of the commissariat department, withthe rank of deputy commissary-general. `• Lieutenant W. W. Davidson, of the 18th Native Infan try, to be attached to the commissariat department under Major Hawkins, with the rank of sub-assistant commissary general. " Brevet Captain H. Moore, of the 34th Native Infantry, of the judge-advocate general's department, to be deputy judge-advocate-general, " Surgeon George King to be superintending surgeon. " Assistant-Surgeon William Grahame to be medical store keeper. The above appointments to have effect from this date. ' J. STUART, lieutenant-colonel, " Secretary to the government of India military " department." The Emperor of China was so much pleased with the gal lant conduct of Admiral Kwan (see despatch of the 31st of January) in his engagement with the Volage and Hyacinth that he raised him to the third heaven. (From the Bombay,Gazette, March 30.) LATEST CHINA. NEWS. __ The Singapore Free Preis of the 20th of February, re ceived here yesterday (in seventeen days from Singapore,) brings intelligence from Canton to the 20th of January. An imperial edict was issued on the sth, declaring the English to be outlawed, ordering the trade with our nation to be im mediately and entirely stopped, and threatening the severest punishment to any other people who conveyed or disposed of English goods. This edict was issued in consequence of her majesty's ships Hyacinth and Volage having commenced, as it is said, the horrors of war. Another imperial edict applauded the valour displayed by Admiral Kwan and the officers and ships of war in the action with the Volage and Haycinth at Chumpee on tilt 3d Novem ber last. The emperor is highly pleased with the conduct of the veteran Kwan, who, according to his majesty's edict, valiantly faced the enemy's fire, leaning gracefully but boldly against the mast of his junk during his engagement. His majesty promises the admiral that if in six engagements (in cluding the one at Chumpee) against the English he is equally successful, he is to be raised six steps in rank, and equal promotion is held out to other pfficers who shall on six different occasions, when fighting against the English be victorious. Mr. Gribble was released from confinement at Canton on the 14th, and is expected to arrive outside in the Thomas Cout'... Her majesty's ships Volage and Hyacinth are blockading the Bogue until, it is presumed, Mr. Gribble's arrival there. Captains Smith and Elliot, when walking on shore one day, near Chumpee, were nearly taken by a number of Chinese soldiers, had not their swift retreat and the guns from the queen's cutter bearing upon their pursuers saved them. _ _ It is very singular, but it is stated to be a fact, that the commissioners sent to the frigates at the Bogue a present of beef and and cabbages, which were not, however, accepted. A remarkable edict had been issued from the commissioner and Hoppo, who, being disappointed at not being likely to get any duties from three American ships which had entered the port empty, caused the Hoppo to visit the ships in per son, and finding that, though without cargo, the ships had not brought funds sufficient in dollars wherewithal to pur chase a home cargo, those dollars are to be weighed by the Hoppo, and then to be deposited in the Consoo-house, the Hong merchants to act as treasurers to the Americans, that these vessels may take away no more cargo than they brought money to pay for. Two ships, the Danske Konige and the Norden. that ap pear to have been sold by the English, and under Danish colours, were seized at Whampea and confiscated, on the charge of their being still in reality English property. — Colombo Observer, March 9. (From the Bombay Times, March 10.) The latest news from Arracan is that the Burmese, with 15,000 men (muskets) are at the Sungyoch Pass, in a threat. ening position. There is a rumour of an expedition being contemplated by Schah Soojah against Herat, where his authority is still held at nought by Prince Kamrarn. STATE OF TRADE.

Prices, however, do not much improve ; but now that the demand is greater than the supply, it rests with the producers mainly as to what remuneration they get for goods to order. Wools were very firm, and the demand is greater. Business in the warehouses is rather better. On the whole, improvement is certain, but very gradual.— Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.—During the past week a slight improve ment has taken place in some descriptions of band-loom goods ; but with this exception we are not aware of anything either in cloth or yarns that has at all changed for the better ; and with respect to some fabrics of power-loom goods the manufacturer is doing worse than he was six or eight weeks ago.—Blackburn Standard.

SCOBLE AND THE ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) The uncurbed sensibility of the abolitionists of England, is doing more to rivet the chains of the African in the foreign colonies, than they seem at all aware of ; and excites an alarm which will retard, if not entirely frustrate, the very object which they profess to have in view. That the peasant should endeavour to make the most of his labour; is a maxim, which we will not take upon ourselves to deny, but that his demands should be limited within the bounds of reasonable remuneration, in our present condition, we respectfully contend. The interests of the employer and the labourer, are so united, that ruin must be the con sequence to both, if the latter persevere, in demanding wages so exhorbitant, that the produce of the estate will not warrant a compliance with the exaction. When these humane enthusiasts of the Anti-Slavery Society were lately here, did one of them ever attempt to im press on the minds of the laborers the wisdom of moderation in their demands, even for their own sakes ? Not one : on the contrary, we ourselves heard one of them (Mr. Scoble) distinctly advise the audience at a meeting convened by himself, not to take em ployment, unless they were paid well, and largely too, and to leave the service of those, who did not concede their demands. What has been the result of all this ? Why, that in consequence of the negroes adopting such advice, the staple has been diminished ; and, to supply the defficiency, a cry has been raised, that the produce of slave-holding states will be admitted to compete with that manufactured by the aid of free labour. This alarm, we have, before said, we think unfounded ; but, even so, its effect will be most disasterous to the cause to which the Abolitionists ostensibly have devoted themselves. LORD STANLEY'S REGISTRATION BILL. (From the Times.) There is no subject at this moment, foreign or do mestic, of such unspeakable importance as Lord Stan ley's bill, the second reading of which stands for Wed nesday, the 6th instant—of importance to the country, because the question of an independent and effective constituency, or worse than none, is involved in the good or bad success of the measure—of importance to the ministry, because, if the bill passes, they are at once annihilated. We make no apology, therefore, for so repeatedly, directing public attention to the nature both of the dis ease and of the remedy. That the Irish franchise is in a state so corrupt and gangrened to its very centre, as to call for some prompt and decisive remedy, is acknowledged by every man in Parliament. We are not sure that O'Connell him self has ventured to deny that glaring fact. But it is a vague acknowledgment which costs nothing, and is worth nothing, inasmuch as when these gentry come to particulars, there is no specific evil connected with the existing practice, and exhibited in the present state Of the constituency of Ireland, for which any cure has ever been proposed that is not, when you come to touch it with the caustic, held by the priests and agitators to be essential to the " fair working" of the elective fran chise, while every provision for practically purifying or amending it is exclaimed against as " an audacious at tempt to rob the people of Ireland of their vested rights, and to curtail the joist enjoyment of the fran chise." Certainly, a more " audacious" calumny than this was never before palmed upon mankind. The au thors of the turbulent outcry against this.measure ne ver risk even the shadow of an argument, pro or con. They never even pretend to inform us what one "ves ted right" the bill attempts to meddle with—of what franchise lawfully obtained it obstructs or harasses the possessor—of what real qualification it impairs the use, or renders the legitimacy unavailing—against what honest, conscientious man, it operates. .They can, in fact, show none of these things ; they are well aware that the sole purpose of Lord Stanley is to protect the real elector against the fictitious, the upright against the fraudulent, the fair trader against the pirate, the constitution of Parliament itself against a constitution set up in defiance of Parliament by a power which jobs for its own sordid and insidious ends the authority of religion, the credulity of superstition,. the scruples of conscience, and the deathbed agony: By that un holy power has the persecuting war against Lord Stan ley's remedial measure been begotten, and wickedness and falsehood worthy of such a parantage are stamped on every feature of the offspring. EQUALIZATION OF THE SUGAR TRADE. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) A great deal of unfounded alarm appears to prevail among our island neighbours on this subject ; and several meetings have been held in Trinidad ; Grenada, &c., for the purpose of petitioning parliament against any attempt to carry it into effect. We can not imagine that the British nation would act so unjustly, so unwisely, as to contemplate any such movement as to admit into the market, the pro duce of slave holding countries, on an equalify with that manufactured by free men in her own colonies. • If such a measure were adopted, the boon of emanci pation would be at once neutralized, and an impetus given to the slave-trade, which would cause it to flou rish with redoubled success, not merely as regards the Brazils, Porto Rico, Cuba, &c., but as a consequence it would for ever rivet the chains of the slaves in Ame rica, and in the colonies of France, &c., when it would be seen, that so far from the emancipation of the ne gro working well for the mother country, a decided in jury had been inflicted by that measure on her depen dencies, and, consequently, on herself. The injustice of such a proceeding is so apparent, that all consideration of it must be laid aside, when we approach the discussion of the subject, and the bane ful consequences to the people of England themselves, should be placed before them. The ruin that would ensue from the abandonment of the sugar manufactory, would be felt not merely by those concerned in that trade, but immense loss would be entailed on the country itself, through the navy, which as far as the West India trade is concerned, has already considerably decreased, but which, in the event of such a measure as the ‘• equilization of duties" passing, would dwindle away almost to nothing, in these latitudes, thereby depriving the Treasury of se veral millions per annum. But the arguments against this measure are so nu merous and so well-founded, that • we cannot conceive any minister hardy enough to propose it, and, there fore shall not follow up the subject any further—nor indeed would we have noticed it at all, but that the proprietary body in some of the islands seems to enter tain serious apprehensions that the attempt will be made by some pseudo-economists, early in the next session of Parliament. We, however, entertain no such fears. THE ROODEE-CHESTER. (From the Chester Gazette.) The establishment of the races at Chester is of great anti quity. We find mention made of them in our annals at a very early period. There is a remarkable note of them in the year 1609, when, we apprehend, the present races were commenced. During the mayoralty of Mr. J. Leicester, Mr. Amery, the sheriff of the preceding year, gave three sil ver cups to be run for on St. George's Day. Two of the cups were to be given to the first and second horses, while the other was to be run for the same, upon the said Roodee, upon St. George's Day- 7 -being thus decreed " that every horse putt so much monie as made the value of the seaumpse,oarlibdeltlsh,eand osehadofththeectnatoml,detiwuhtichhatbdorasyestwdoildvweinitohotthhe, g b ue e ns i t n ti il g otn i h n eoty. bond teiaier mo t o f ao d yu e or l r i v ,L e jo r orhd i t n i lß6 t 2 h rBe e r. cups that day ; soe also the cup for the tinge, which was yearly continued accordingly 1628' s as e so caused that t a h o e uthree value c o u £B.pps ' might b e s h o o l d r ' , o a a n d f ct o u a h r se , retained Ta, los also ea rlt,e ar by egdr ,et great te the winner dei(s)tuarnsce ; b : e f ai r nn e gd e I of f er o o r tnot e vreurn. beyond' ve T c t tn th oot i l e ln m e dle'e n r c e , c l o es i pati :s v irt f t opi r a: en o n w hed , e t a so t a t w u i l id ei bg a a e r ee s - ) : place rownd about the Rood dee." In 16 9 9 a contribution was made towards " St. George's Race," by the companies. In 1640 the sheriff gave a piece of plate, value £l3s. 6s. Bd. in lieu of their annual breakfast. At the Roodee the ancient city games were celebrated. The Roodee takes its name from the Saxon word Rood, a cross ; Dee, from the River, distinguishin g the cross that stood upon it from the cross which stood at St. Peter's Church. The cross marked the boundary of the land belong 10.nagrtdoeitlhsethNousrafatt sCtihilesrteemr;aoiopsp.osite. what is called the Nuns' " The Roodee contains about n_ ' l n v e T t h y e ac H re o s o ; d_ t d h e e e co w u a r a s , e el i ls.: closedwm a o s r e vtehraaybno much u a tt h i lee enlarged ne l t aa h i .r e, l g esd r B a 7 n i,o d a s nl t Bd a 2 n s7 d o..ld _a_ to s o e ri r_e e c T te i d lo i th n as lB l, l7 y . nia l i t , a Chesterme h afnotr, who it.

The distinguished individuals from whom he deduced his descent were wealthy, influential men in their day. With an honest view to per petuate their names, and to make their extensive possessions secure to their latest posterity, they were at great pains to execute several important deeds of trust (one of which is for the term of a thousand years), for the exclusive use and benefit of their " heirs male for ever." The founder of the family was the Right Honourable Sir John Leman, Lord Mayor of the city.of London, a native of Suffolk, who flourished in the reign of King James I. Sir John was an enterprising mer chant, and was the first in London who sent ships to the north to fish for whales. He was a special favourite of King James, because, among other courteous qualifications of that age, ir John believed in the supernatural power of the Witch of Endor as much as his Majesty did, who prevailed on the learned bishops to interpret her mysterious art as we now have it in the• Bible. His lordship .died without issue, and was succeeded in his great wealth and influence by his nephews. He settled the most of his property on his fa vourite nephew, William Leman, a middle-aged, dark-com plexioned, pleasant, good-tempered gentleman, who was a rich linen draper and silk mercer in the city of London. In the year 1631 he purchased the beautiful extensive manorial estate of Northaw, a parish in the hundred of Castrio, of the liberty of St. Alban's, in the county of Hertford, with the church patronage, &c.. He afterwards became M.P., ands'' high sheriff of Hertfordshire. Hence in his official journies he had often to pass through Edmonton, Cheshunt, &c. with his lady and numerous issue (seven sons and eight daughters). The wags of the day raised a humorous report of a curious adventure that the high sheriff of Hertford had on the road, which one of the English bards has since immortalized in comic poetry, under the fictitious name of "John Gilpin," probably derived from one of Sir William's estates, which was anciently called " Gilpinham." Though he was patron of the churches of Warboys, Northaw, and other valuable livings elsewhere, he privately favoured the non-conform ists, and openly differed with some of the leading men of the age as to the possibility of compelling, by means of acts of Parliament and armed soldiers, the entire inhabitants of Great Britain to adopt an universal creed (Lutheran), which was the mad whim of King Charles 11. that led to the la ' mentable feuds and bloodshed between the church party, non-conformists, and covenanters. In the 17th year of King Charles 11. (3d March, 1665,) a royal patent was granted to the said William Leman, cre ating him a baronet, with limitation to his heirs Jamie law fully begotten. This was one of the most eventful periods in the history of England, by the dreadful plague which first broke out in St. Giles's, and afterwards spread desolation in the great emporium of the world. It. was about this time that the wandering tribes of Israel first settled in Goodman's fields, under the auspices of the benevolent owner, since which time the Jews have wonderfully multiplied on this leasehold property of the Lemons, and to their honour be it spoken, some of them were willing to surrender their lease holds to the late Sir John (well knowing they had no right to the ownership), provided they were liberally dealt with. Sir William, with many other good men, were of essential ser vice during the plague, and the great fire that succeeded it. The distinguished house of Northaw connected itself by mar riage with the Earl of Manchester, and other great families, and continued to flourish in the person of three Sir William Lemans, during the respective reigns of King William and Queen Mary, Queen Anne, and the royal house of Hanover. The account then goes on to state, that on the death of the late Sir 'William Leman, the vast property fell into the hands of strangers in blood, and was last possessed by William Strode, who died in 1809, and by his will directed his trus tees to throw the Leman property into chancery, for the purpose that justice should be done to the true heirs. Then commenced one of the most extraordinary heavy suits in chancery on record, " Strode v. Cassamajor," for the honest distribution of the Leman property, which has proved a mine of wealth to several lawyers. In consequence of the public advertisements and quibbles between the contending parties, not one of whom, as may be seen from their own statements in chancery, is a single blood drop to the Le mans, the rights of the true heirs became more fully known to.them.- -It is not a-little extraordinary that several claim ants, who are all aliens in blood to the house of Northaw and Warboys, are actually foreign adventurers residing in Germany, whose names are as strange as their claims are unjust.. " Wineslaus Charles Labra tie Wackenburgh, and Charles . Francis Xavier Melon tie la Greze, often occur in the proceedings." . . . . With a view to afford our readers a correct statement of the Leman funds, we subjoin the following extract taken from the books of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, which proves the accumulation from Strode's death to 1822 to be this, viz : Amount of Three per Cent. Bank Annuities £467,190 17 0 Ditto Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities.. 127,964 10 6 £59 . 3.155 7 6 This sum afterwards proportionately increased. The suit for this vast property will be commenced forth with. The writer. adds We learn-that Mr..[Godfrey Leman is already more fortunate than Sir John, not only in having a virtuous race of children, but because he is a steady, modest, unassuming span, and he and his son Edward have fortu nately selected fo their confidence Men, who, to use a Not tingham expression, have ' the honesty, the ability, and proper stuff to pull the claimant through his difficulties.' He has got the best legal advice that hiS'claims are good, and we sincerely wish him success. With this kindly feel ing, we will now take our leave of him for the present ; but we intend to watch the progress of his claims, that we may hereafter be able to give our readers other particulars, as also the law of the case, which is of importance to the pub ttinflham Review. PARLIAMENTARY SKETCHES. (From the Hull Times.) mit. O'CONNELL. That member who has just entered the house, dressed in black, with a frock coat, and dark curly hair, and who walks with rather a swagger, is O'Connell. We shall get a capital view of the " agitator" directly, as he is coining towards us, and will afford us an opportunity of criticizing his physi ognomy. What character there is displayed in his whole countenance ! His little, sharp, cunning eye gives a great deal of expression to it, and his round face and dark hair are quite in unison —all thoroughly Irish. There is a wildness, too, which adds considerably' to, the general effect. Much humour and pleasantry are depicted in his 'features, with great shrewdness, and a good deal of feeling too. He is a very powerfully-built nian. Though - he dreSses' plainly, rather shabbily, I am told that in one respect at least he is the greatest' dandy in the house—as regards the amazing pains which he takes to conceal every appearance about him orold age. Although O'Connell is an excellent speaker, yet I have heard hint stutter and hesitate' a good deal, which seems surprising in one who has had so much experience in public speaking of different kinds as he has had. Mr. O'Connell boasts that he has succeeded in everything that he has undertaken. At the bar, as a'mob-orator, and in parliament, he. has alike been successful, which few indeed can boast of. No one can doubt that his talents are of a very high order, though circumstances have given to him a degree of importance which he otherwise never could have possessed. As a statesman,. he is not to be compared with Peel. Even when he has endeavoured to introduce mea sures connected with matters with which he might be sup posed to be peculiarly conversant, as the law of libel, and the regulation of election committees, he has shown a la mentable want of comprehensiveness and skill. His influence in the house is mainly owing to his peculiar position with regard to Ireland. He is at times a very powerful as well as eloquent speaker, and excels most in touching appeals to the feelings, and descriptive efforts. The Irish peasantry adore him. His accent is strongly 'lrish, and his manner occasionally coarse and violent. SIR ROBERT INGLIS. The member who has just got up from his seat near Sir Robert Peel, and who is now leaving the house, is Sir Robert Inglis. He is a stout-made man, with very broad shoulders ; his head is rather bald, but his long hair hangs down behind. He stoops as he walks. His dress is rather shabby, and he has a sort of farmer-like appearance. The expression of his countenance is very benevolent. He is a man of much im portance in the houscoand possesses considerable talent. SIR DE LACY EVANS. Who is that very lanky thin man, 'with a sallow complexion, dark hair, and sharp nose and chin ; his countenance is lean and hungry looking, and has a sort of wolfish expression ? He is sitting on the third bench, on the ministerial side. That is Col. Sir De Lacy Evans. You may well say he looks hungry. He has never recovered from the starvation he ex perienced during his celebrated career in Spain. We very seldom hear of him now in his senatorial capacity. The last notable feat which he performed in that line was of a somna bulistic al kind, when he was left in the house during a divi sion, in consequence of his having fallen asleep. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. The member now on his legs is Lord John Russell. His person is diminutive, and he is lame in one leg. His ex pression is rather pensive and sedate. As an orator he is nothing particular, though his matter is generally good. In deed, without his assistance in debate, the ministry would be in a most deplorable state,. - even hi the House of Commons. Lord John Russell is one of the few consistent whigs which the cabinet contains. Since he entered into public life, he was always a reformer, even in " the worst of times." Like Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, most of the others deserted the conservatives when they found that the tide of Opular feeling was turning against them. MR. SPRING RICE. That pert, smirking, smiling personage, sitting near Lord John Russell, is Mr. Spring Rice. • His, features are sharp, and he has' a quick expression of countenance. If he be not pleased with the state of affairs as regards the• government, or with the house, there is at least one subject which you feel assured affords him infinite satisfaction, and that is himself. He is not a bad speaker, and is a very serviceable member of the government—it is said, however,'that heis the most un popular member in the house. SIR FRANCIS DURDETT. You observe an elderly, and rather remarkable-looking, man, sitting on one of the back benches, on the opposition side. He wears a white hat, is dressed like a sportsman, and has a riding-whip in his hand. That is Sir Francis Burdett. His face is red, his nose long and prominent, his eyes small and sunk, his hair white, and his forehead very high. The John Bell, in describing him at a public meeting some years ago, compared him to " a snipe out of season.'' He is a capital picture of an old English gentleman, and a perfect gentleman he is, of which he has every appearance. Ile looks, too, like a thoro u ghly-independent man. There are none in the house who can at all compete with him in this respect. ART OF FLOATING..-Ally human being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the bands behind the back, and turn the face towards the zenith, may float at ease, and in perfect safety, in tolerably still water—ay, and sleep there, no matter how long. If, not knowing how to twim, you would escape drowning, when you find yourself in deep water, you have only to consider yourself au empty pitcher • let your mouth and nose—not the top part of your heavy head— be the highest part of you, and you are safe ; but thrust up one of your bony hands, an d down you go—turning up th e handle tips over the pitcher. Having had the happiness to prevent one or two drownings by this simple instruction, we publish it for the benefit of all who either love acquatic sports, or dread them.—Walker. FIRE AT BRIDGE-HALL PAPER-MILLS NEAR BURY.— A dreadful fire broke out on the premises belonging to Messrs. James Wrigley and Son, at Bridge-hall Paper mills) on Sunday last, which at first threatened the des truction of the whole of the premises, but, owing to the exertions of Messrs. Wrigley's neighbours, and the in habitants of Bury, along with the soldiers and police stationed in the town, and by the great advantage of a staircase which went tip to the roof of the building, the fire was arrested in its progress when about half the building had been destroyed. It would not, however, have been stopped when it was but for the nu mber of fire-engines and plentiful supply of water which were upon the premises ; there were no fewer than eleven engines working at once, all of which were private property belonging to the mills round Bury. We are happy to add that- the Premises are insured ; also the stook to the full amount of the loss ; and as the fire did not extend to that part of the mill where the machinery i s situated, - the works will not be stopped more than three or four days. We understand the loss will be from £3,000 to £4,000 to the three insurance offices in which the property was insured.—Munchester Guardian. TIDE TABLE. Days.l Mrn. Evn. Height. Sundays, Holydays, 6e.

There bes been a.good demand for Cotton to.itay, and the sari are 5000 bags, including 1000 on speculation and 300 for export, with a very firm market. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 7. The Butter market still continues brisk, with well sustained prices. As, however, the weather now assumes a rainy appear ance, some reduction may be looked for. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 5. The imports of Wheat, Flour, and Barley, have again been pretty considerable from Foreign ports, but from Ireland and Coastways the arrivals of Grain have been very small, since Tuesday last: the reduction of the duty on Foreign Wheat and Flour, accomplished very barely on Friday last, was confidently anticipated throughout the whole of the past week. and in consequence, those articles were offered free for home use at a trivial decline, whilst in bond they were held at a small advance, but not :sufficiently decided ;to alter our quotations, and sales to a fair extent were effected :—for fine mewling Oats an advance of Id to 2d per 451 b and of Is per 2401 b for fine Oatmeal was obtained ; Malt, Malting and Grinding Bar ley, Beans and Peas, found very moderate sales at nearly our last quotations. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports was reduced on Friday last to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 85 *1 per barrel ; on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Peas is 6d per quarter ; it is likely duty will he immediately paid on the two first-named articles, as it is very probable the duties may be again increased next Friday ; some considerable parcels of both articles in bond have changed hands, at about the last quotations; duty has been paid on almost all the Foreign Barley; Oats in bond are almost nominal at 3s 6d to 3s 10d per 451 h. The weather has continued very fine, without one drop of rain since she 11th ult. and with very little since the 10th February!— nevertheless the previous moisture of the earth, and the nightly dews cause the country to assume a healthy green and favourable appearance ; winter-sown Wheat looks very well, but most spring sown Grain and Grass reported to be very short, and except in rich low-lying lands, very thin : but no injury is as yet done which may not be speedily remedied by warm showers, now certainly very much wanted throughout this district, and we believe everywhere. At this day's market sales to a fair extent were made of Wheat and Flour in bond and free, at fully our last quotations ; Oats sold at '2d to 3d per 451 b and Oatmeal Is to Is tid per 240th advance, and for every other article there was a moderate demand at fully our last quotations.
