Ater an unsuccessful attempt by Lord INGeSTRE to forward the grievances of Thomas Wood, the pro . rnplon Chronicle, relative to the he debate on the Corn Impnrta- The speakers were Lord Polling- J. Trollope, Mr. Rashleigh, Mr. r School, t, tion Bill was resu ton, Mr. Plumptr Shcv, and Lord M Harris, Sir J. Ilanmer, Lord Ebrington, Mr. F. Baring, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in its favour. The contending parties occupied the old ground. Mi nisterial inconsistency, and the pressure of local burthens on the agricultural interest, were again urged on the one Land and Resin replied to on the othr. Sir J. TROLLOPE appealed to the bishops. He did not believe they would desert the working clergy, who would be unahl , to live should this measure bee nme law. Lord EBRINGTON, apropos of the question before the house, dilated on the report of the commissioners for amending the law of real property. Mr. SHAW stoutly denied that the po'atoes in Ireland were rotten, or that fever had increased there in conse quence of famine. The closing sentence of his speech was much cheered. He said—" It (the measure) had not only shaken ail public confidence in public men, hut the rami fications of its evils were absolutely untraceable. (Cheers.) It had not only broken party ties and destroyed personal friendships, hut, setting constituents against their repre sentatives, friend against friend, father against son, and son against father,—(cheers)—it had convulsed all the re lations of social and domestic life. (Cheers ) They must all participate in the evil, they would all share the sorrow, but the consolation of himc•elf and those friends who sat around him would lie, that they escaped the degradation." The debate was adjourned until Thursday. -- ---...6...---- HOUSE OF COMMONS.—IVEDNESDAY. The Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central Rail ways Junction Bill, was read a second time. The following bills were read a third time and ordered to be committed :—Midland Railway (Birmingham Ex tension) ; London and Birmingham, Grand Junction, and Manchester and Birmingham Rail Ways Amalgamation, Midland Railway (Darfield to Elsecar, and other branches), London and Birmingham Railway (Aylesbury Railway Purchase), Leicester and Birmingham Railway, Great Grimsby, Louth, Horncastle, Lincoln, and Mid bind Junction Railway, Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway (Worsborough Branch), Leeds and Thirsk Railway (St. Helen's Branch Deviation), East Coast Railway. Mr. P. SCROPE brought in a bill for making better provision for the destitute poor in Ireland.—Read a first time. Mr. W. PATTEN moved that the following members form the committee on the amalgamation of railway and canal bills, viz. :—Sir G. Clerk, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Pak ington, Mr. E. Denison, Mr. G. Hope, Mr. G. Craig, and Mr. W. Patten, with power to send for persons, pa pers, and records. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The Duke of WELLINGTON gave notice that he should move the adjournment of the house from the 7th to the 21st of April, for the Easter recess. Lord BEouGnAm gave notice that he should move, after Easter, for the inquiry into the conduct of the Poor Law Commissioners, in the case of Mr. Parker. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—ThrrnsDAY. The debate on the second reading of the Corn-law bill was resumed. Mr. FINCH opposed the second reading, and made an elaborate reply to the speech of Mr. F. Baring on Tues day night. He declared that this bill would produce a five-fold revolution in this country ; for it would make a Poor-law revolution, a financial revolution, a political re -volution, a land and cotton revolution, and a colonial re volution, which would separate Ireland and the colonies from the empire. He therefore hoped that if the House of Commons passed this bill, the House of Lords would reject it ; for a more pernicious measure was never introduced into a British Parliament. The number of country gentlemen in England was 200,000, and the amount of the capital which they and their tenants had vested in land amounted to £490,000,000. He showed that this bill would destroy at least £50,000,000 of that capital. No wonder, therefore, that it had spread great discontent throughout the country, and was endangering the constitution and government of the empire. Mr. Finch proceeded for more than two hours to utter " pro phetic sounds so full of woe," that every member fled in alarm from the Opposition benches, and only 29 !members on the Government and protection benches had fortitude enough to bear them. The hon. member considered this conduct on the part of the Opposition as an insult to the Protection party, and threatened to avenge it by either speaking four hours himself on the subject, or by getting some of bia friends to deliver themselves of the same amount of eloquence. Lord G. BINTINCK contended that the allegation by the Government of the likelihood of a potato famine in Ireland was nothing else but a gross delusion. The ac counts, which he had recently received from Ireland, con vinced him that the price of potatoes was falling rather than rising in most of the markets of that country. He endeavoured to prove that the alarms of the farmers re specting the repeal of the corn-laws were not visionary, from the tact that in the year 1836, when corn was at a lower price than it had ever been before in England, fo reign corn could have been imported into it at a profit of 10s. per quarter to the importer. He complained bit terly that Ministers, in introducing the present Corn Bill, bad blown hot and cold at the same moment. First of all the farmers were not to be alarmed, because, upon look ing at the results of the tariff of 1842, there was every rea son to believe that a free trade in corn would rather en hance than depress the price of the article; and yet after wards Ministers unblushingly proclaimed that their object was to produce cheap bread, and that the time was gone by wherein rents could be eked out of the sufferings of the poor. Ile then quoted several statisical documents to prove that the fluctuations in price under the sliding scale of England were much less than those which oc curred 4 • trade was said to be In countri ee. Unde more fr( tuation in the Enzlish market amounted to 32 per cent whereas in Bordeaux it amounted to no lesSthan 81 per cent next proceeded to prove that under the r. of IPG.. corn could now be imported into Eng.— . ILe im rnrters of corn from foreign countries. He next argued nat the welfare of the lab our i ng c l asses i n genera l , ano of the agricultural classes in particular, did not de pend on the low price of wheat, but on a profitable price of wheat to the farmer. Referring to the question of Mr. F. Baring on a former night, he declared th a t h e was pre pared to give him a comprehensive answer to hi s very vague and indefinite question about the future policy of fisting duty land by all imptrial —recd ration of justice to be commi as not njurio I. This, he c the protection party. Recollecting that Mr. P. Baring and.his,party had opposed and supported every measure for the repeal of the corn laws—recollecting that it was not till the year 1841, that a sudden thought came upon the Whig Administration when it was in arlicuto .mortis to propo - se an Bt. fixed duty—recollecting that it was not until the cry of cheap bread had been found unsuccessful, that they had proposed a fixed duty with a vanishing point too, that Lord J. Russell, fancying that ,ornething was brewing in the minds of the Ministers, had sought to outbid them by proposing the total repeal of the corn laws, he thought that the Whigs did not under- stand either the constitution or the complaint of the pa tient for whom they were anxious to prescribe. The com prehensive advice which he was therefore prepared to give to the protection party was to take no more of the reme dies composed and administered by the Whig party. He gave his friends the same advice with respect to the reme dies of the Tory party. Both of them were pirates ; for they had pirated the very speeches and measures of the Anti-Corn-law League. He then made a fierce attack on the Ministers for having scuttled the ship of the party, after they had driven it on a lee shore, and for having slunk away in the long-boat, in the hopes that its gallant crew would be in the power of the enemy, to whom Mi nisters had betrayed them. Ministers had judged of that crew by their own craven hearts—but though for a mo ment•that crew had been discouraged, it bad sir from the temporary shock—it had brought off the ship from the lee shore, and, with God's assistance, it would still carry it in safety to port. The debate was soon after adjourned. E OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.

The Sikh force had originally consisted of 20,000 men, with fifty-six guns; on the 26th they were reinforced by the addition of twelve guns and 4,000 men o❑ the river; they wer ngly on the flant On the 28th the united di visions, consisting of 12,000 men and thirty-two guns, marched at daybreak from Buddewal in the direction of the enemy's camp. At the tillage of Churck we first got stilt of -the enemy. They advanced some distance beyond their intreuchements towards our division, and commenced a heavy cannonade on our troops, which continued for half an hour. The village of Ullee-: wul, the important point, was stormed by our troops, Colonel Wheeler's brigade leading the advance. The whole line now pressed on and stormed the batteries everywhere, carrying the guns at the bayonet's point. Charge after charge of our cavalry broke and cut up the enemy as they endeavoured to rally. The 16th Lancers and 3rd Cavalry suffered most severely ; of the former 110 were killed or wounded in charging the enemy's guns, and in striving, and that most successfully, to break a square of a Khalsa regiment, which was quickly dispersed or cut to pieces. In this latter service. 200 of the irregular horse, under Captain Bill, and 708 of the Shekawattee brigade, eminently distinguished themselves. The Sikhs fought gallantly, and their guns were excellently served ; they opened at ten, and were not silenced till one o'clock, many of the artillerymen remaining till bayoneted at their posts. By noon the enemy were broken ; they were driven by repeated charges of cavalry and infantry into and across the river. Many were drowned in attempting to escape ; sixtv-five of their guns were captured; the remaining 3 were left unserviceable. The forces further to the west ward towards Ferozepore have, for nearly six weeks, rest ed on their arms. A division of Sikhs, about 40,000 strong, with a large park of well-appointed artillery, still continue at Hurreekee, in front of the division under the Com mander-in-chief. A heavy battery of guns. arranged in semicircular form, the convex side to us on our side of the river, protects the pontoon bridge by which the army on the other bank communicates with this. At Khonda Ghat, where the bridge of boats is to be placed, a strong force is posted, and shots occasionally exchanged betwixt the opposing armies. Gholab Singh has come down from his mountain holds, and arrived at the capital with some 12,000 men, and a vast amount of supplies; no fewer than 300,000 bullocks are said to attend his camp. The Mooltan chief appears to be negotiating with both parties. He is said to have offered to co-operate with Sir C. Napier, provided we will on becoming masters of the country, permit him to hold his estates on the same tenure as that under which he now possesses them. He is understood at the same time to have written to Lahore, stating his willingness to resist the British, and maintain the war single-handed, if tribute enough be remitted to meet the exigencies of the occasion. A large number of Hindostanees in the Sikh army have made overtures to our authorities. The Sciride troops are advancing up the Indus; the division on the left commanded by General Simpson; that on the right by Sir C. Napier ; a steam flotilla, and a huge array of boats creeping up the river between. It is said they will take up a position near Mittonkote, and there remai❑ during the hot season, ready to co-operate with the grand army when a general movement takes place. The conquest of the Punjaub will not be attempted be fore October. The officers killed and wounded are:— Killed-16th Lancers, Lieutenant H.D. Sweetman, and Cornet Williams, 50th Foot, Captain C. R. Grimes. 55th Native Infantry. Lieutenant Stnallpage. Wounded-15th Lancers, Major Smyth ; Captain Fyler (severely). 50tti Foot, Lieut. Du Vernet. Ensign Purcell, Lieut. H. J. Frampton, Lieut. W P.

Smith, de serves perusal : " From the tops of the houses of the village of Poorein, I bad a distant view of the enemy. He was in motion, and appeared directly opposite my front on a ridge, of which the village of Aliwal may be regarded as the centre. His left appeared still to occupy its ground in the circular intrenchment ; his right was brought forward and occupied the ridge. I immediately deployed the cavalry into line, and moved on. As I neared the enemy, the ground be came most favourable for the troops to manoeuvre, being open and bard grass land. I ordered the cavalry to take ground to the right and left by brigaees, thus displaying the heads of the infantry columns, and as they reached the hard ground I directed them to deploy into line. Briga dier Godby's brigade was in direct echellon to the rear of the right, the Shekawattee Infantry in like manner to the rear of my left, the cavalry in direct echellon on, and well to the rear of both flanks of the infantry. The artillery massed on the right, and centre, and left. After deploy ment I observed the enemy's left to outflank me, I there fore.broke into open columns and took ground to my right. When I had gained sufficient ground, the troops wheeled into line; there was no dust, the sun shone brightly. These manoeuvres were performed with the celerity and precision of the most correct field day. The glittering of the bayonets and the swords of this order of battle was most imposing, and the line advanced. Scarcely had it moved forward 150 yards, when, at 10 o'clock, the enemy opened a fierce cannonade from his whole line. At first his balls fell short, hut quickly reached us. Thus upon him, and capable of better ascertaining his position, I was compelled to halt the line, though under fire, for a few moments, until I ascertained that by bringing up my right and carrying the village of Aliwal I could with great effect precipitate myself upon the left and centre. I there fore quickly brought up Brigadier Godby's Brigade, and with it and the Ist Brigade under Brigadier flicks, made a rapid and noble charge, carried the village and two guns of large calibre. The line I ordered to advance—her Ma jesty's 31st Foot and the native regiments contending for the front, a' ' ^ battle bream— had the u. ,o general. The enemy _ a numerous body of cavalry on the heights to his left, anu ordered Brigadier Cureton to bring up the right brigade of cavalry, who, in among them, and drove them back upon their infantry. Meanwhile a second gallant charge to my 1 - ght was made by the light cavalry and the body guard. The Sheka wattce Brigade was moved well to the right, in support of Brigadier Cureton. When I observed the enemy's en campment, and saw it was full of infantry, I immediately brought upon it Brigadier Godby's Brigade, by chancing front, and taking the enemy's infantry en averse. They drove them before them, and took some guns without a check. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. While these operations were going on upon the right, and the etiemy's left flank was thus driven baflk, I occa sionally observed the brigade under Brigadier Wheeler, an officer in whom I have the greatest confidence, charging and carrying guns and everything before it, again con necting his line and moving on in a manner which ably displayed the coolness of the brigadier and the gallantry of his irresistible brigade—Her Majesty's 50th Foot, the 48th Native Infantry, and the Sirmoor Battalion, although the loss was, I regret to say, severe in the 50th. Upon the left, Brigadier Wilson, with her Majesty's 53d and the 30th Native Infantry, equalled in celerity and regularity their comrades on the right, and this brigade was opposed to the " Aieen" troops, called Avitabile s, when the fight was fiercely raging. The enemy, well driven back on his left and centre, en deavoured to hold his right to cover the passage of the ri ver, and he strongly occupied the village of Bhoondee. I directed a squadron of the 16th Lancers, under Major Smith and Captain Pearson, to charge a body to the right of the village, which they did in the most gallant and de termined style, bearing everything before them, as a squa dron, under Captain Bere, had previously done, going right through a square of Infantry, wheeling about and re entering the square in the most intrepid manner with the deadly lance. This charge was accompanied by the 3d Light Cavalry, under Major Angelo, and as gallantly sus tained. The largest gun upon the field and seven others were then captured, while the 53d Regiment carried the village by the bayonet, and the 30th N. I. wheeled round to the rear in a most spirited manner. Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander's and Captain Turton's troops of horse artillery, under Major Lawrenson, dashed almost among the flying infantry, committing great ha ' ender the high ineffectual fire a nallati and pened a were able to e rear in rear d my orders, ng them from to the 'he de- fired once upon our advar river; one of them we ❑doned. A PalEsT's CURSE.-At the assizes at Carrickfergus, C. M`Laughlin, a corn-miller in the Glens of Antrim, brought an action against the ,Rev. Mr. Walsh, the Ro man Catholic:priest of his parish, for " defamation, slan der, and injury in the social relations," suffered by the 'plaintiff in consequence of having been excommunicated by the defendant. With respect to the act of excommu nication, one of the witnesses deposed—" After the mass bad been celebrated, he heard defendant say that there were different ways of excommunication. He took a let ter out of his pocket, which he said he got from the bishop, and said he had let things go on longer than be had au thority to do, hcping that the delinquents would come forward and make satisfaction : but he would suffer them no longer; he said he would excommunicate plaintiff, Charles Sheals, WlCay, and M. Butler. Some person entreated him not to excommunicate Butler until next Sabbath day. Named the others, and said, ' I give my curse, and God's curse, on all who salute them on the road, or eat at the same table, or work in the same field with them.' Defendant then turned and blew but the candles, rung a bell, and closed a book which was lying open on the altar. The congregation shortly afterwards broke up." Others said—" The people did not hold so much intercourse with the plaintiff since that time mill was always working before that time. Since the ex communication the mill has not been working." The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages. £70.. COUNTY FERMANAGH GRAND ORANGE LODGE.—This loyal and very respectable lodge will hold its half-yearly meeting on the 9th of April next.

On the other, we found them vigorously opposed by the Duke of Welling- —that the Irish church had been g and that therefore it was not °pet, .went to dis cuss such questions. But his own coadjutor, Lord St. Germans—who negotiated the Maynooth Endowment of last vear—at once gave up this doctrir:e as untenable— I rig ) ly arguing, that it was not possible for the Legisla ture of any particular period to tie the hands of all future Parliaments on any national question. 'Plus went the argument ; the deplorable characteristic of , s hieh was, that no one was found, whether bishop or lay-lord, to utter one syllable with a view to remind their lordships of the main points of the rase; namely, that the doctrine established in the church of Ireland is the truth of God; while the doctrine sought to be established by the flornish priests, ;s soul-destroying error. We call this the main point of the case; we might truly say it is the only point of the least value. For if the fact be not as we state it— if Pr-testantism and Popery are merely two variations of the same essential truth—then we must admit, without a moment's hesitation, that the present church of Ireland ought not to be maintained for another year. On no other ground than that of its scriptural foundation, can the Irish establishment be vindicated by any fair and reasonable man THE C _,URT .4- FASHIONABLE WORLD, The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, visited Astley's, on Tuesday. The royal party occupied the contre box, which was fitted up with crimson and white silk. The foot guards lined the passage of the theatre, and detachments were placed in the stable yard and at the principal entrance in the Westminster-road. The visit was strictly private. PRESENT TO THE PRINCESS ROYAL. - Her majesty has been graciously pleased to accept a small satin bag, for the princess royal, worked by Miss Ellen Smith, of Marchester, with small white chrystal beads, containing on one side, the rose, the thistle, and shamrock, and on the reverse, the white rose of England ; and has rewarded Miss Smith with the handsome sum of five pounds. Lord and Lady Stanley will spend the Easter recess on a visit to the Earl of Derby, at Knowsley-hall. They are expected this week. Sir Robert Peel and the cabinet ministers have accepted an invitation to dine with the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, on Wednesday, the 22d of April. The guests are invited to bring their ladies. RAILWAY INTALLIGEACE. The Blackburn, Clitheroe, and North Western Junc tion Railway Bill has passed the standing orders. The Committee of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Railway have decided that the Standing Orders had been complied with. The difference between railway scrip property at the present prices and at those of September last is a reduc tion in value of from fifty to sixty millions. Several of the passengers on the Great Western line received severe contusions on the evening of Wednesday, by a collision with a line of carriages a short distance from Paddington. By an accident on the Newcastle and Darlington Rail way, the engine-driver of a train had his leg broken, and a guard was seriously injured. The slipperiness of the rails, produced by-rain, is assigned as the cause. The Standing Orders Committee have reported to the house that in the case of the Birkenhead Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway petition, and of the Hull and Lincoln Railway petition, the standing orders ought to be dispensed with. The bill for the former line was read a first time on Thursday. A project is on foot by which a continuous line of rail way, under one management and interest, wilt be secured from the centre of England to the north of Scotland, by the amalgamation of the Caledonian, Scottish Central, and Perth and Inverness, with one of the new leading lines in the north of England. MOVEABLE BRIDGES. &c.—Amongst the new patents granted this month we find the following:—Jobn Haskins Gandell and John Brunton, of Birkenhead, Cheshire, civil engineers, for an improvement in the construction of, and in the mode of opening and closing of, moveable bridges or arches for the purpose of carrying railways, tramways, or other roads across canals, locks, docks, or other open cut tings. Mr. Chadwick, in a pamphlet just published, " On the Moral and Physical Evils in Connexion with Railway Works," says that the number of labouring men that were killed or wounded in the construction of the summit tun nel on the Sheffield and Manchester line equals the pro portionate casualties of a campaign or a severe battle. The losses in this work were more than three per cent. of hilted and fourteen per cent. of wounded, while the deaths in four of our principal battles amounted to only 2.11 per cent of privates. THE PROPOSED BRIDGE OVER THE TYNE, AT NEW CASTI.E.—The site of the bridge is already well known. It will extend from the Castle Garth to the high ground on the south side of the river. There will be two road ways, one on a level with the Castle Garth, for carriages and foot passengers, and the other at an elevation of 22 feet above it, with three lines of railway for locomotives. The carriage road will be 1,380 feet in length, on a straight line, end the locomotive way will be immediately above, wctli the exception of a spec at each end, the locomotive line diverging at a point N!.. at 270 feet from each end, to the west on the north sioe, to run into the general sta- tion to be built at the Fr!rth, ilnd to the east on the south side, to form a junction with the main line southward. These diverging portions of the locomotive way will be supported on handsome colonnades, each consisting of 20 metal pillars, which will give to the entire structure a magnificent finish. The bridge itself will consist of six river arches, with four land arches on each side, the for mer 124 feet 10 inches, and the latter 36 feet 3 inches span, the land arches diminishing in altitude from the founda tion upwards, corresponding with the declivitous banks of the river basin. These arches will be supported on piers of solid stone masonry, and will be constructed of cast iron. The piers will be 48 feet by 16 feet 6 inches in thickness, and in extreme height about 131 feet from the foundation, having an opening in the centre through each, so that, to the spectator at a distance, the bridge will ap pear to rest on pillars, and will present nothing of that rnasqive character which might be expected in a structure of such Ogantie proportions. These pillars will be built on piles piercing the bed of the river, about 50 feet on the north side, and about 20 feet on the south side.—New castle paper. RAILWAY SPECULATIONS. On Thursday, at the London Bankruptcy Court, Mr. H. Robinson, a bankrupt, applied for his certificate, which was opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had misapplied funds trusted to his custody for investment. It was state I thP.t the bankrupt was formerly a tailor and draper at Leeds, which business he relinquished in 1844. He commenced operations in London as a sharebrokrr in April, 1845, so " that he might participate in the golden ' shower" supposed to be falling very plentifully about that period. He had dealt very extensively on the Stock Exchange, his transactions over about eight months amounting to nearly £BOO,OOO, and his gross loss during that period was nearly £9,000. The bankrupt, during the interval of giving up the business of a tailor at Leeds, and taking to the calling of a share-broker, had, it ap peared, engaged in the guano trade ; but of the particu lars of this latter branch of operations nothing could be traced in the balance-sheet. The prospect of a dividend was miserable indeed. In addition to the argument urged against the bankrupt for misapplying funds en trusted to his care, it was also contended, that his share speculations were gaming transactions within the mean ing of the act, and that therefore the court was not em powered to grant the certificate. After a short examination of the bankrupt, adducing the leading facts submitted by his opponents, it was con tended that throughout these transactions no fraud was manifest. The panic which had caused much disaster, .had ruined many besides thegbankrupt, who had entered into the business without the least disposition to act otherwise than an honest man. If fraud had been the bankrupt's object in entering this business he would have endeavoured to have derived personal benefit from it, but this was not the case, for even his personal expenses only amounted to about £l4O during the eight months of his trading. Taking a lenient view of the case, and regarding the bankruptcy as one arising from the misfortunes of bu siness, it was prayed_that the court would grant the cer tificate. Mr. Commissioner Shepherd.—l do not know that 1 am bound to refuse the certificate altogether in conse quence of the speculation in shares, but I do consider this to be a most flagrant case. A worse case Ido not think ever came before me. Here is a man who comes Leeds, and was formerly a tailor, starti a a share- broker and speculating in the most reckless manner to few months. His balance sheet shows a deficiency of up wards of £lO,OOO. This is most certainly gambling— her operating for a rise or fall in share and no bet- most extent. It is a very bad and flagrant case, and I shall not be doing justice to his creditors and the public, unless I adjourn his certificate for a long period—a period of two years, LAW INTELLIGENCE.

RELIGIOUS TOLERATION IN CHlNA.—Keying, the imperial commissioner, has just issued an order, by com mand of the Emperor, which decrees toleration to all Christian sects, in China, not merely as regards foreigners, but regaining native Chinese also. The latter may now attend the Protestant or Popish chapels, without let or hindrance upon the part of the government. The government steamer Virago, on board of which the Indian mail had been placed in consequence of the non arrival of the Oriental at Alexandria when the mail came to hand, and for the safety of which considerable appre hensions bad been entertained, owing to the delay in the arrival at Malta, has at length reached that island ; and it appears that she had been impeded by some accident to her machinery. THE FAMINE IN ANATOLIA. Extract Of a letter dated " Smyrna. March 7, 1846.—An extraordinary thing has happened here —manna, or a glutinous sub stance of which they make bread, has fallen in immense quantities in a large district of Anatolia, where the peo ple were starving previously. 1 will endeavour to send you a sample ; it is selling publicly in this !district at about 17s. per quarter. SPAIN.—The Mirallores ministry resigned on the 16th, after the meeting of the Cortes. The Queen sent for them to dissolve the Cortes immediately. This 'they de clined to do, but tendered their resigna•ions, which were accepted. In the new Administration Narvaez is Presi dent of the Council and Minister at War ' • M. d'Egana, Minister of Justice ; Burgas, Minister of the Interior ; Orlando, Minister of Finance; and Pezuela, brother-in law of the Marquis of Viluma, and an ultra-monarchist, Minister of Marine. The first acts of the new cabinet are ominous. By the unanimous advice of its members (an address has been published to which their names are at tached) two royal decrees have been issued, the one sus pending the Cortes, and the other the liberty of the press. IRELAND. The Lord-Lieutenant has issued a special commission for the trial of criminals in the County Clare. On Saturday night the udders of two cows, the pro perty of Dr. Roberts, of Youghal, were cut off by some barbarous miscreants. On Friday, a woman residing at the Silvermines cut her husband's head off with a hatchet ! She is fully committed to Nenagh gaol for this atrocious deed. The Dublin Evening Post has published a statement, not official, of the receipts of the Repeal Association. The income of 1843 was £47,914 ; 1844, £43,306; 1845, £17,969._ _ _ James Doherty, of Garden Hill, going home on Sunday evening from Castle-Connell, was met on the road by six or eight men, who beat him with stones and sticks. The sufferer is in the hospital. . CHEAP TRAVELLING IN IRELAND.—An opposition car was lately started from Pallakenny to Limerick, a distance of 12 miles, the fare for which journey was only 6d. ; but another car has been since set up, which accom modates the public at the still lower charge of 4d. ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—On Monday, between the hours of nine and eleven o'clock, a party of Term, one of them armed with a gun, went into a field of Mr. Toohy's, where he was working, and attempted to shoot him, but the gun missed fired ; they then knocked him down and beat him in a most brutal manner.—Nenagh Guardian. Government have offered £5O reward for the apprehen sion of the fellows who attacked the Rev. Thos. Westropp and his servant, near Annacotty, on Saturday evening, the llth instant.

A HINT TO OLD BACHELORS.—There died this week in the union poorhouse three patriarchs, whose united ages amounted to 307 years. Each of these " fine Irish gentlemen, all of the olden time," were mar r i e d, it is stated, no less than four times, a circumstance to which, no doubt, is attributable their lengthened sojourn in the land of the living.— Waterford Freeman. On Wednesday night a sacrilegious attempt was made to rob the Roman Catholic chapel attached to a nunnery in North William-street, Dublin. The Sisters of Charity were awakened by the noise, and having given the alarm, two of the night constables came to their assistance, and on examining the premises, found in the chapel two rob bers, one of whom had secured the priest's vestments, and the other had the chalice in his pocket. As a proof how little dependence is to be placed on dying declarations of innocence made by convicts at the gallows, the Carlow Sentinel mentions a case of which the editor was cognizant, in that town. A man convicted of murder persisted in declaring his innocence till he was swung off the fatal drop. The rope, ht , wever, by some accident, broke, and the man was not hurt. He then begged a few minutes time, and before he was put up again fully acknowledge) his guilt. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Friday night week, a soldier belonging to a recruiting party, stationed in Portglenone, was going over his exercise, with a musket belonging to the owner of the house where he lodged, and which was loaded with shot, having been borrowed a few days before, by a neighbour, for the purpose of shooting rats. The owner of the house not being at home, the soldier had lifted the gun to amuse a few persons who were in the kitchen, and as be said " present, fire," it wt nt off, lodging the contents in the head of a fine boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, an orphan (ri Ito was also a boarder in the same house), named Michael Hanlon. lie only breathed for a few minutes. The poor soldier, who is in a miserable state, is in custody awaiting an inves tigation into the case. _ THE DISPOSAL OF THE " SACRED FUND. "— Further awkward and untimely revelations respecting the misap propriation of the (so -styled) " Sacred Fund " are almost daily dished up for the edification and satisfaction of the poor classes who swell the coffers of the repeal treasury. It is stated, on the competent authority of a " Catholic Repealer," that the erection of Conciliation-hall, a plain, if not unsightly piece of architecture, or, to use the words of the writer, " a small oblong building, without durabi lity or elegance," and altogether a " miserable edifice," drained the " Sacred Fund " to the tune of £lO,OOO, be ing £7,000 more than the simple contributors to the Burgh-quay Excl ever were led to suppose had been ex pended on their new Parliament house. The architect or projec , or, it is said, and no doubt ttuly, " stood with the committee of management, and hence their dif fuse liberality of the hard cash wrung, under other pre tences, from the pockets of the deluded loners of home made legislation. , both r w trial was granted in this case to try - Al Jant, who is alleged to have c double crime of incest and adultery tried at the Kingstone Assizes, but 0 It was to have been of court THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION.-Mr Justice Patteson stated in the -Nisi Prius Court at York, in summing up the case of Wainwright v. Taylor, that this statute does not extinguish a debt, and that the moral liability is as great Dvering 1 to make an assignment, would do but revive the legal liability of such a debt by giving a written justice to the Court of Chancery, where it had been held that a per son about to become bankrupt or insolvent was acting no other than an honest part, by reviving such a liability on EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE.—An extraordinary will se was tried at the A , ,,siz,.s at Derby, on Thursday and Mr, Cockburn, Q C., specially retained with a fee of 301 guinea. The plaintiff, Mr. W. Thornhill, was a respec table tradesman in London, and the first cousin o moved of the te , tator. The defendant was the to brother. The disputed will 011erenshaw estate, to Willia LLL,LIII6 vu "AU h the sum of £5, and the will recited that the tes tator believed his funeral would cause more joy to the said wife than any merry-making she had ever attended. Evidence was given to show that the testatcr was not of sound mind. Some curious things were elicited respect ing him. (Ate witness said that the testator had ways of his own in farming; he was all for planting and levelling the land. In summer he blew his horn at six o'clock in the morning ; allowed no more than ten minutes for din ner; thought it was more than twenty minutes ; the work men knew when it was time to leave work ; they had no teas. If they came too late, he would not employ them that day. H e had farthings, and paid their wages in far things for a quarter of an hour's work ; two hours and a quarter's labour came to twcpence farthing, which was the amount he paid them. Another witness said he had had a conversation with Mr. W. Thornhill relative to spirits ; he believed that there was a devil and devils, and that man was compounded of spirit and body, and that when the body dropped to the earth, the spirit went some where, and thought that spirits sometimes assumed a form which became visible to the human eye. Asked him for proof of his assertion. Said that he could prove it from Scripture. The first case recorded in Scripture was that memorable one where three angels came up to Abraham, and, after entertaining them, he walked with them abroad, and the Lord said, " Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do ?"—and testator repeated the chapter generally. Mr. Cockburn, on the part of the defendant, contended that the testator was a man of disordered mind, and utterly incapable of disposing of property. When Mr. Cockburn had called witnesses, Mr. flumfrey, o❑ the part of the plaintiff, said he should not trouble the Court and Jury, but submit to a verdict passing for the defendant. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK We regret to announce the loss of the schooner Balius, the property of Messrs. Stockdale, laden with rice spices, &c., which left Jamaica on the 20th of January. Among the passengers was Miss Haselden, daughter of Mr. Ha selden, manager of Woodside Ferry. From the sth of February to the 26th the weather was most severe, and on the latter day a tremendous sea struck her on the star board side, and swept the decks of all the bulwarks, stancheons, boats, spars, provisions, water, and galley, and split the covering board on the larboard side. Capt. Pendlebury and four of his hands were also washed over board. Two of the men succeeded in catching hold of something, and were hauled in by the mate and carpenter over the quarter, covered with cuts and bruises, and all over blood ; a third clung to the jolly-boat, which went overboard at the same time, and was saved. The fourth, Thomas Vale, was not seen again. Captain Pendlebury was repeatedly washed under the vessel ; but at length, his situation becoming known to the mate, he was hauled on board again, at the moment his strength was failing, and he was about to sinkleneath the raging waves. Five feet of water was now discovered in the hold, and two men were kept continually at the pumps. At three a.m. on the 28th February it cleared a little, and they dis covered a piece of land, which turned out to be Castello Branco, a reef on the south side of the island of Fayal, the chief of the Azores. At the distance of about a mile, the surf broke with fearful violence on cliffs 300 feet high; and they were then sailing straight for them. The vessel was in the midst of a sort of bight, one arm of which was formed by the Castello Branco, and the other by a high ridge of rocks, called Varadouro, a point which if they could have weathered, they would have driven safely into the port of Fayal. They had, however, no sail to set except a fore sail, every other rag of camas havirg been lost or carried away ; and each tack brought them nearer and nearer their destruction. The energies of the captain and his crew, however, did not desert them ; and they tried to ge•. up a flying gib for a main staysail, in order, if possible, to keep off till daylight ; and they hove round three times. The wind, however, with the exception of a brief lull, which did them more harm than good, blew fast and furious towards the dreadful cliffs, and the still more fear ful surf, and at about five o'clock the unfortunate vessel struck with great violence stern foremost ; she then turned, broadside on to the rock, beating so fearfully that it was evident she must be broken up almost instantly. The condition of Miss Haselden, (who was returning home in the vessel, after having been nurse to a family in Jamaica,) during this hurricane, was truly deplorable, but the unfortunate girl behaved with great fortitude. She was very anxious to keep the deck, hut as that was impos sible in its unprotected state, she spent the dreadful hours below. From the time that the crew found they could not escape, she was frequently observed on her knees. When the ship struck, she rushed up to the deck, but she had hardly set a foot upon it when a tremendous sea washed her overboard. The sailors, with the exception of Samuel Scott. all reached the rocks in safety. but in a most de plorable state, the waves having stripped every particle of clothing from several, and half denuded the others. They then had Lc) scramble a mile over the most precipitous and dangerous cliffs before they reached the country. The body of Miss liaselden was observed in the surf, and rescued at great risk by the captain and one of his seamen. The poor girl's head was fractured in a dreadful manner, and every particle of clothing had been torn off her by the fury of the waves. The bodies of the seamen who were drowned were not recovered. _ _ The shipwrecked sailors were received with the greatest hospitality by the natives, who supplied them with cakes of India corn and wine, and such as were naked with clothes. . _ The body of Miss Haselden was interred at the expense of the British consul, who attended the funeral in full official costume. _ The Clyde steamer, with the West India mails, touched at Fayal, and brought Captain Pendlebury and the crew to Southampton. Captain Symonds generously gave them a passage, the officers and men being messed according to their rank. The Balius is not the only vessel which has suffered from the awful hurricanes in the latitude of the Azores, there being no fewer than seven vessels put into Port Fayal for r epairs ; and four have been observed driving past with signals of distress flying, unable to make the harbour. FATAL SHIPWRECKS.—On the night of Saturday week, the Bee sloop, of G oo l e , f oun d ere d about three miles off Shoreham harbour, Sussex, when five of the crew were lost. One man only was saved, and he had ambed and clung to the rigging, whence he was rescued on Sunday morning by the Menai steamer, bound for Dieppe. On the 16th inst., at Thurso, during a severe pale, the Belfast, of Liverpool, bound to Monte Video. was driven on shore at Ormalade ; the master, mate, and seven men drowned. The sloop Diana, of Arbroath, bound to Dundee, and the Prosperous of Stornaway, were driven on shore at Scrab ster, the same evening : master and two men of the former drowned ; crew of the latter saved. The Admiral, of Sunderland, was totally wrecked at Port Shelley, the same day, with all hands.
