Vottrp. THE PENNY POST Of all the posts, the penny post Is that which 1 delight in most, Since now my letters, few or many, Come with the friendly prepaid penny. So, be they full of wit or phlegm, My only tax is reading them. Thus, housemaids now can send their letters As free and frank-ly as their betters ; And waft a sigh, in strains of Pindus, From kitchen fires are far as Indus ; Or launch their passion hot as coals, To warm their lovers at the poles. All hail, then, penny-letter trade, (The best reform the whigs have made) Whose flaky showers, like March-tide hail, O'erspread the earth by ev'ry mail. PHILO-DENARIUS Emprr la! Varltanunt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. Many petitions, chiefly for and against the repeal of the corn laws, were presented. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented petitions from officers of the British auxiliary legion, complaining of the treatment which they had experienced, and the delay in the payment of their claims. His lordship entered into very ex tensive details on the subject. The Earl of CLAREYDON said that the best answer he could give would be to read the report of the commissioner (Mr. Alcpck) appointed on the part of the legionists. Among other matters, it set forth that 3415 certificates had been signed by the commission ; that credit had been given for 1500 warrants„on which no claims had been preferred ; and that £9OOO had heen set apart to meet those claims ; that the whole amount claimed was £280,000 ; and that of such sums, claims to the amount of £260,000 had been allotted. It transpired that those warrants had not been paid, were not negotiable, and did not bear interest. The Duke of WELLINGTON inquired whether there would be any objection to produce the commission ? Lord MELBOURNE answered that there would be. no ob jection to present the report of the commissioners. The report of the Metropolitan Police Courts Act Amend ment Bill (as amended in committee, with two new clauses to counteract the machinations of " common informers ") was presented and agreed to. The Marquis of WEiTMEATH gave notice that on Thurs day next he would move the appointment of a select com mittee to inquire into the working of the poor laws in Ireland ; after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY A great number of petitions were again presented, chiefly in favour of, and against the corn laws. Lord J. RussEd having brought up the bill respecting Canada, which was read a first time, on moving that it be read a second time, said that he wished to correct a misap prehension which had taken place of something that had fallen from him with regard to clergy reserves, and which perhaps, if not corrected, might lead to serious misunder standings in Canada. It had been stated that he expressed himself unfavourably to the general nature of the measure which the legislature of Upper Canada had passed, and that the Governor-General had proposed a measure totally op posed to the views of the government. This was far from being the meaning of what he had said. What he had said was, that it was a difficult thing to have a measure with re gard to the subject which would entirely coincide with one's own abstract notions, or with what might have been feasible forty years ago, but which was not practicable now. He went no further in his observations, which applied generally to the opinions held about church establishments. So far from annulling what the Governor-General had done, they entirely approved of the course, thinking it would be a means of restoring peace to Upper Canada. The bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday se'nnight. Mr. MACRINNON gave notice of his intention of moving for a committee to investigate the subject and provide legis lative enactments for the regulation of the emigration of la bourers from India to British Guiana. A conversation ensued as to the appointment of the com mittee on the surrender of opium in China. Lord Sandon objecting to the preponderance of fifteen ministerialists to six conservatives.—The appointment was ultimately post poned. Mr. HERRIES referring to the post-office returns as printed, said in the estimate with regard to the post-office between the time of its being laid on the table of the house and the time of its being printed, a difference had been made of £BO,OOO. That was a circumstance which he thought ought to be ex plained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that there bad been no concealment or fraud. The post-office had made out an estimate and sent it in, but just as that estimate was actually printed Ahe secretary of the post-office stated to him, in a letter, that some mistake had been made in the calcula tion, and requested to be allowed to put in the altered esti mate. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that he should move that the order for the attendance of Mr. Sheriff Evans be put off till the 4th of May. Mr. HERRIES observed, that about eighteen 'months ago a cargo of rough rice was brought from America, and when in troduced into this country it was charged with a duty of 2s. 6d. per bushel. The parties importing it claimed, under the American treaty with this country, to be placed on a footing with the most favoured nations in respect of the du ties on similar commodities. He wished to know whether it had yet been decided that the cargo should be admitted on the terms the claimants desired ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the proper communication on this subject was between the American minister and the treasury. Mr. HERRIES gave notice that he would move for certain papers connected with the case. The law of evidence (Scotland) bill was brought up. The adjourned debate on the corn laws was then resumed. Mr. WODEHOUSE began in a very discursive speech, op posing Mr. Villier's motion, and combating at great length the opinions expressed by Mr. Jones Loyd in his late pam phlet on the currency. Mr. Rim H treated the question historically. From 1774 to 1790, under the free system, prices had been steady, and 500,000 additional acres had been brought into cultivation. Under the present law the fluctuations had been extreme. It was complicated with many steps, and these abrupt, espe cially in the very part of the scale where they ought to have been easiest—where the prices exceeded 655. It was to have produced moderate prices, steady supply, and prosperity to at least the agricultural classes. All these anticipations had been disappointed. It had been said, however, that so great a nation as ours should grow her own corn. Would you extend that argument to tea, to coffee, to cotton ? It was im possible for her, with her great population, to render herself independent of foreign supplies. A fixed duty would give not only a steady import, but a revenue which would pre clude the necessity for any new tax. Captain HAMILTON deprecated the disturbance and the distress which must follow from a repeal of the present law. It was not for this densely-people,l country to throw all the inferior lands out of cultivation, and render itself dependent on the states of Germany. A great landholder in Hamp shire, now employing upwards of forty labourers, had in formed him 'that if the present law were repealed he should be unable to employ more than fifteen. What, then, was to be the refuge of all the remainder, displaced by the abandon ment of cultivation on the inferior lands ? The union work house, where they might expect, ere long, to be joined by their former masters. Lord MORPETH said that his persuasion of the impossi bility of forming a cabinet which would be united in the par ticular view entertained by himself had reconciled him to the consideration that on this question the present ministry was divided in opinion. Although he spoke not with the weight which might have attached to him had he been representing the sentiments of the government, yet he felt himself bound to say a few words on behalf of his constituents, who took an anxious interest on the subject. Even districts merely agri cultural in the riding which he represented had joined in pe titions for an alteration of the law ; and if he were not now to concur with them, he knew not how he could put up our common prayer for daily bread. He wished a general inter change of produce between all parts of the world. Monopoly should be banished from the family of nations, like selfish ness from private life; and philanthropy and patriotism should be synonymous terms. He did not deny the expe diency of some protecting duty, nor would he prejudge the question whether it ought to be fixed or graduated, though his own impression was in favour of the fixed, as promoting uniformity of supply, and preventing sudden exportations of bullion. The argument against agitation was in favour of the side he espoused, for agitation could be stopped only by the removal of the grievance. But gentlemen were like the vestry i n Oliver Twist, all struck with consternation, because the hungry asked for more to eat. This motion might be nega tived ; but he was confident of eventual success. Having lived to see freedom of religious opinions, and freedom from personal slavery, he trusted also to see freedom of trade in corn. Mr. G. KNIGHT observed, that if mere modifications were desired, it would be idle to make a comprehensive reference to a committee, which could produce nothing but disappoint ment. But the people were beginning to understand the subject, and to know that free trade in corn was not compati ble with high wages, and that its only effect would be that of enabling the master manufacturers to increase their own gains at the cost of the operatives, and the landlords, and to grind their workmen still lower. No novelty had been pro duced since the rejection of this attempt in the last session, except one which he much regretted—the exhibition of a ma jority of the cabinet ministers in hostility to the agricultural interest, but sheltered under the high-minded expedient of an open question. The present law, though of courseit could not control the seasons, had much mitigated the evil arising from their inequalities. He appealed for support more espe cially to the members for Ireland, whose staple was agricul ture. Mr. PRYME proposed to add to the motion for a com mittee, by way of amendment, the words with a view to the reduction of the average prices sptcified in the table an nexed to the act (the 9th of George IV.) according to which the respective d u ti es are i mpose d." He grounded his recom mendation on the argument that agriculture is entitled to a protection in proportion to that which is given to other arti cles of general consumption. He supported his views by extracts from Adam Smith and Ricardo. Agriculture, he would remind the ho use , was su bj ected almost exc l us i ve l y to the burdens of tithe, and to a much larger proportion of church, county, highway, and poor rate, than other branches of industry were liable to bear. He contended, however, that the present protection was too high, that it occasioned frequent fluctuations, and that it injured our commerce and manufactures, the prosperity of which was most important to agriculture itself ; and his conclusion was, that the requi site protection would be grievously injurious in years of scarcity. Such years, •he showed, had occurred not only under the present law but under the system existing at the close of the last century, which was practically a system of free trade, Mr. W. DUNcoMBE opposed the motion for a committee. He was persuaded that neither a fixed duty nor even a repeal of all duty whetever would satisfy the agitating parties. Their object was a general abolition of all burdens, of which this was only one. If the duty on foreign corn were to be re moved, you must remove the duty on all other foreign corn. modities. Was government prepared to surrender these sources of revenue ? Mr. CLAY supported the original motion. The house, though thin, was now inattentive and noisy, and called not unfrequently for a division, while the hon. gentleman endea voured to enforce the necessity of conceding to what he de scribed as the ge nera l an d stil l increasing desire of the nation at large. Mr. SnAw was solicitous to correct the error committed by Mr. Villiers, in representing Ireland as a country whose export of corn was not extensive. Mr. VILLIERS had supposed that this export was dimi nishing. Mr. SnAw, from the actual figures, showed, on the con trary, that the export of corn, flour included, was very largely increased. Much complaint was made in England of the in flux of Irish labourers : if the corn law should be repealed, there would be not merely an influx, but an inundation of them. At the conclusion of Mr. Shaw's speech the debate was ther adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY. There were a great many petitions presented, c hi e fl y on the corn law question. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked whether the papers would be produced, regarding which he had given notice, re lative to the affairs of Spain and the British legion ? Lord MELBOURNE answered that, as they were connected with negotiations still going on, he could not, in following the invariable rule in such .cases, produce the documents at the present time. The metropolitan police courts bill was read the third time and passed, The Marquis of NORM ANBY stated that be was ready to give and should on Monday offer explanation respecting the recent temperance procession in Carlow on St. Patricks day, —processions, which had been alleged to have assumed a political appearance. The Earl of WICKLOW said he trusted an explanation would be offered as to similar processions in Dublin on the same day. Their lordships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS-FRIDAY. After the presentation of numerous petitions on the subject of the corn laws, church extension, &c, _ _ Mr. PAKINGTON asked Lord John ilussellwhether he, had applied to the law officers of the crown for their opinion as to whether the thirty days required by the constitutional act of Canada, during which the clergy reserves bill should re main on the table of both houses of Parliament, wouldinclude the time during the holidays. Lord J. RUSSELL answered that he had not made such application, but the opinion of the government was that the thirty days comprised any time during which the house might be sitting, or might be adjourned by a resolution of them selves. He intended however, to allow the fortnight, during which it was probable the house might be adjourned, and also the thirty days required by the act, and then to take the opinion of the law officers of the crown before he advised the crown to give its consent to the bill. Mr. PAKINGTON asked whether the government was in possession of any further information with regard to the ordinance of the Governor-General of Canada, with respect to the incorporation of the monks of St. Sulpice, and whether that ordinance would receive assent. He wished to know whether memorials bad not been presented by the landowners in and about Montreal, in opposition to the proposed ar rangement. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Governor-General had acted under the provisions of the act of parliament. Lord SANDON inquired whether the ordinance would be allowed or disallowed by government. Lord J. RUSSELL believed that there was no objection to it, but that it had not yet received consideration. The order of the day for the attendance of Mr. Sheriff Evans on the 6th of April (Monday) having been read, . , Lord J. RUSSELL said he trusted that he should not have to' renew the discussion on this subject. He hoped the other house of parliament would give their assent to the bill which had been sent up to them. Its second reading was fixed for Monday. He should move, therefore, that the order be discharged, and that Mr. Sheriff Evans be ordered to attend the house on the 6th May, by which time he anticipated that the bill would have passed into law. The motion was then agreed to, and the sheriff continues " at large" until the 6th of the next month. During the evening the committee on the subject of the affairs of China, with regard to the trade in opium, was nominated. _ _ The debate on Mr. Villiers' motion respecting the " corn laws" was again resumed, Mr. Brotherton opening the third night's debate. The house was eventually adjourned until Monday, after considerable confusion, and amidst loud laughter, as the question now will be, how to resume the debate, as this was not adjourned. THE "DUCHESS OF INVERNESS ?" (From the Morning Herald.) In our paper of yesterday, we Inserted some brief com ments on a very astounding announcement which had ap peared in the London Gazette of the preceding evening. That announcement apprised the British people that her Majesty had been pleased to grant the dignity of a duchess " to the right hon. Lady Cecilia Letitia Underwood (eldest surviving daughter of Arthur Saunders, second Earl of Arran. by Elizabeth, his third wife, daughter of Richard Underwood, late of the city of Dublin, Esq.), and the heirs male of her body, lawfully begotten by the name, style, and title of Duchess of Inverness." We will not stop to quarrel with the oddity of a patent of nobility, which, in express terms grants to any future " Master Saunders," who shall be entitled as legitimate heir male, the said dignity of a duchess (!) and we repeat that we desire " not to question her Majesty's right to elevate to the dignity of the peerage whomsoever her Majesty pleases." And this is constitu tional doctrine. "The Crown is the fountain of honour," said the sages of the English law before the days even of Bracton or of Meta; and it is a maxim as true in English jurisprudence as it is dear to English loyalty. The principle of loyalty has, down to our times, retained so much of strength and freshness, that it has sometimes seemed too active and flourishing, when crown-descended honours have been diverted into worthless channels, or poured into polluted courses. If, however, it has not " withered, drooped, and died" over these occasional aber rations of the Sovereign's grace, its permanency and health fulness may be ascribed to its own deep-seated conviction that such cases were but unhappy exceptions to the general principle which had formerly regulated the distribution of the waters of so noble a source. English loyalty was ever full of faith, and amidst the corruption and venal patronage pro fusely encouraged and distributed by the profligate Jameses and Charleses, it looked forward to better times and juster and more upright princes. It found them in the reigns and the persons of William 111., and of the second, third, and the fourth William. In some of these reigns do we remem ber that the bad precedent of George 1., in the creation of his mistress to be Duchess of Kingston, was followed. The next notable creation of this kind was that of a late reign— the Duchess of Sutherland. That was a case in which it was little possible for the prerogative of the Crown to add to the hereditary rank and station of one of the noblest of Bri tish matrons. The good and venerable " Duchess Coun tess" boasted a descent from the noblest houses of Scotland and England, through an unbroken lineage of 800 years. Her own fortune was regal, independently of-the enormous wealth of her excellent lord ; and both of them, not less by the unsullied purity of their private characters, their high attainments, their virtues, and their munificence, than by the lustre of their public position (eminent as this was in every attribute of title, influence, and the respect of all classes), did honour to the station which they filled. The third coin age of a new duchess, to which we shall advert, is this of the Lady Cecilia Letitia Underwood. If these creations are so rare in the annals of our peerage, we may, without the slightest imaginable disrespect to the sovereign, be allowed to speculate a little as to what can have been the reasons which have guided the grace of the throne in so remarkable a visitation upon the person of her ladyship. " Remarkable," in truth, is but a weak term. It is almost miraculous. If it was the glory of the " Divine Cecilia," according to the legend, " to draw down an angel from the skies," to listen to her organ playing, what organs must this Cecilia (Letitia) have possessed to drawn down upon herself the ecstasy of a tangible duchess-ship ! Now, in these for tunate days of whig. ascendancy, in this bright age of liberal opinions, it can not only be improper in us, or derogatory to the lady, or offensive to the crown, to enter into the consi deration of the probable reasons which may have dictated this selection of an object for the highest exercise of grace and favour which it was in the power of the Queen to bestow on any female subject ; but we should expect to be taunted with the charge of having deserted our duty by the organs of that ascendancy, and of these opinions, if we did not endea vour to elicit the facts. Besides, the crown itself, and the powers nearest to the crown, must be anxious that the mo tives of such especial distinctions should be known ; and, indeed, in modern times these motives generally are either distinctly proclaimed, or permitted to be inferred from data, not very likely to be mistaken. That was but a sorry reign for this country (and we hope never to live to hear its autho rity quoted in the way of precedents for royal patents,) when the sovereign, being assured that he need give no reasons to the world for the most extravagant acts of his favour, created one mistress a " Duchess" of Portsmouth, and another a Duchess of Richmond. We have fallen upon other days. Public opinion has, to a vast extent, usurped prerogative royal. This change in many instances, under many phases of circumstances, may be a change of uncertain tendencies. It may be for good or for evil. But, be it for evil or for good, to this extent it is omnipotent—it will not permit even the personal prepossessions of the sovereign to compromise the interests of public safety or of public morality. We feel, we know, how unnecessary it is for us to renew, at this time, the expression of our unfeigned, devoted, and affectionate attachment to the youthful and intelligent pos sessor of the crown of these realms. But the reflections to which the recent " creation" has given rise in our minds, are heightened in their character of solicitude and earnest ness by the very intensity of that devotion. Shall we not, then, proceed to discover, first, the possible effect of this creation ; secondly, the possible identity of the party en nobled? Wherefore should we abstain in performing this duty to the public ? And first, as to the possible effect of this creation. If it had been determined upon with a view to do honour to some bright exercise of those female virtues of which our lovely Queen presents in her own person so signal an example—if it have been bestowed as a tribute to that maternal solicitude for the pure, and careful, and enlightened education of off spring, which her Majesty's illustrious mother has so suc cessfully exhibited in the superintendence and direction of her Majesty's own studies—if it have been granted as an ac knowledgment of that touching devotion to the last hours, and the solace of the last pangs of a fond and confiding hus band, which Englishwomen, like Lady Dover, or princesses, like Queen Adelaide, have manifested under circumstances worthy of higher honours than courts or crowns can give,— in any of these cases the creation may reflect even greater lustre on the Sovereign, than the Sovereign can confer, by her own act of grace upon the object of it. But, in order to judge of the possible effect of the creation just announced, subject, as it thus appears, to such conside rations, we must proceed to look at, Secondly, the possible identity of the party ennobled. And we assume, for the reasons adduced by us yesterday, that the modern Cecilia (Letitia) is no other than " the daughter of the late Earl of Arran, whose family name was Gore ; whose mother's name was Underwood ; that, in 1815, Lady Cecilia Gore espoused (forgive us, Clio !) Sir George Buggin, Knight!' and, under the latter name, was subse quently known in the fashionable world, at a period when her ladyship's acquaintance with his Royal Highness the Duke of 'Sussex became matter of some notoriety." If this be so, and no other circumstances of a later date have altered the legal status of the lady, we must condemn the creation of duchess in her favour as a most Stuart-like, most unaccount able, most capricious exercise of the Royal favour. If other circumstances have since occurred to alter her legal status, why are not these set out in the Gazette, to account for the transformation of Lady Cecilia Letitia Gore Buggin into Lady C. G. (no Buggin) Underwoou ? Did Lady Bug gin (her Grace of Inverness will forgive us) ever marry, at ail, marry George ~ Underwood" — so Bug gin n d e ' s r w d o e o a t d h a ii , so as to have legally sunk in that kindred sh elter the horrid memor y of ( th e name ( fte s r he S ir of) her husband, the attorney knight? If neither of these events really happened, and she has ceased to be " Lady Buggdin," 'Whom id she marry ? With happy taste—as a compliment to the most decorous people in the world—the title created for her is a proud and an eminently Scotch title, Duchess of Inverness. The Duke of Sussex is Earl of Inverness. of a legal derwood in consideration of any claim ar i s in g out Is the duchy attributed to Lady Cecilia Gore Buggin Un. or quasi legal connection with his Royal Highness ?o s rislt a his mere compliment to a long-accustomed inmate of Royal Highness's bower at Kensington ? Doubtless , in re ference to the wording of the giant, the connection is leg al or q uasi legal ; b u t the " heirs male of her body, lawfully begotten ?" Heyday ! who, what, where, how many—are these ?Be the y young Bugginses, or little Underwoods, or grandson Saun derses, or --- But we cannot put the other alternative without graver and more foreboding feelings. We have lived to hear liberal peers and members talk of the rapid and widely-spreading progress of the democratic principle among us, as reducing the chances of the perpetuation of monarchy to the duration of three lives, or 21 years. God forbid, say we, from the bottom of our souls! " Esto perpetua," we cry to the mo narchy. But tamper not with the sacred questions of prior rights and legitimate descents. In an old established mo narchy, and a magnificent and immeasurable dominion like that of Britain—by the side of certainty, right, and legitimate 'title, all the personal curiosity or interest attaching to all the Duchesses of Bugg ins Inverness that ever existed, are as the mere office dust and .sw ee pings of a city attorney's office. Let us ask,• then, only two questions. If they can be replied to in the negative, all other interrogatories, and all reasoning upon them, are " leather and prunella." Is the Duke of Sussex m arried to the new D uchess of In verness (Buggins) ? Are there male issue of this marriage (such issue, of course, if existing, are lawfully begotten) ? Unless his royal highness could show a written despensa tion from the crown, such a marriage is clearly invalid, be cause it was, ab initio, illegal, against an express statute. Hear what Blackstone says of the I2th Geo. iii.— " And now, by statute 12 Geo. iii. c. 11, no descendant of the body of king George iii. (other than the issue of prin cesses married into foreign families) is capable of contracting matrimony without the previous consent of the king, signified under the great se a l ; an d any marr i age - con tracte without such consent is void."—Blackstone's Commentaries, vol. i, p. 226. . . We are pretty safe in broadly affirming that no such certi ficate of consent has ever passed the great seal. Then the marriage would be illegal. Then the public will be prone to ask why so extravagant a grant should emanate from the throne, in fear of any already, or here after to be, horn Bugginses, or Invernesses ? If the lady be not the rightful wife of the Duke of Sussex, this is a sort of sacrifice to the lucky genius of the house of Buggins which even the house of Saxe Coburg might envy ! Take the other alternative. Is the Duchess of Inverness the lawful wife of the Duke of Sussex ? Why in that case, these enormous honours to the widow of the Hatton-garden attorney, which were denied to the high-born exemplary wo man, Lady Augusta Murray, whose marriage with the Duke of Sussex, duly celebrated by a protestant clergyman at Rome, was clearly, qouad the effect upon it of the 12th Geo. iii. legal ; because the purview of that statute does not ex tend to marriages celebrated dehors the British dominions ? That marriage was further confirmed by a repetition of so lemnisation according to the forms of the English established church, in England, at a subsequent period, though it may be doubted, on the highest authorities of the ecclesiastical courts, whether such marriage, being in all other respects le gal according to the forms or dispensations of the foreign state in which it was first celebrateed, needed this additional solem • nity. If the marriage with the beautiful and accomplished Lady Augusta was legal, why are the honours now destined for the Bugginses (for aught that appears) withheld from the admirable, the excellent issue of that marriage, the accom plished gentleman and soldier, Sir Augustus D'Este, and his virtuous and high minded sister, Lady Augusta ? If the Duke of Sussex be married to Lady Cecilia Letitia G. U. 8., Duchess of Inverness, and the defect of any such consent of the sovereign, signified under the great seal, as is required by the Royal Marriage Act, had not invalidated the marriage, how can the legality of his royal highness's prior marriage with Lady Augusta Murray be disputed ? If the marriage with. Lady Augusta was valid, what pre tence, what reason, what explanation, can be assigned to the British public for this inexplicable preference of the Bug ginses over the D'Estes ? Truly it excites some misgivings in our mind when we collate with this astounding patent to Lady Cecilia, the al most over-acted, impetuous affection and profound reverence of his royal highness fAr and to the sovereign of these realms, on the three memorable occasions of her majesty's first meeting her parliament, her majesty's coronation, and her majesty's marriage. A lively hope of " grace to come" is a wondrous gout-curer ! Again, what did Mr. Gillon's motion portend, at the close of a former session, when he expatiated on his royal high ness's ill-paid state; and after showing how he had got in volved, from sheer disinterestedness, in the discharge of the duties of President of the Royal Society, prayed the house to levy countervailing " duties" on the people to the tune 0fX6,000 or £B,OOO a-year, in the shape of an addition to the duke's income? Is this proposition, then, repudiated very unequivocally by the House of Commons, to be brought on again under the more insulting suggestion tithe expediency of providing for the descendants of the relict of the knighted attorney ? And if this ever be done, can any man guarantee us against a similar application, some fine morning, on be half of a sister connection—of which fame speaks odd things ? What pass are matters now come to? How far does our " socialist" premier mean to shock the ancient purity of Eng lish society ? With what further sacrifice of the decorums and decencies of life, after presenting Owen to his Queen, will this reckless lord be satisfied ? We bid him to beware. It is a dangerous experiment which we apprehend. On the one hand, however, we shall never cease to suggest that justice, generosity, and honour, are first to be satisfied to the D'Estes ; and that hitherto we know of no such case made out for the Bugginses. On the other hand, we solemnly and with deep respect submit to that high tribunal, from which on earth such honours flow, that had they been devoted in a divided appropriation to the two D'Estes, and the reparation of the insulted cha racter and sacrificed life of Lady Flora Hastings, by the dis tinction of her next female representative, the fearful possi bility of all questions of a doubtful succession hereafter, and the hazard of public disgust at present, might have been avoided or overcome.

The Council of the Cambden Society have resolved upo the publication of the Ege rton Pa p ers, from MS S. in the possession of Lord Francis Egerton, to be edited by Mr. Collier; " The Chronicle of Joceline de Brakelond, Monk of St. Edmundsbury, from A.D. 1157 to 1211," to be edited by Mr. J. G. Rokewode ; and the Doctrines of the Lollards, a M.S. ascribed to Wickliffe, to be edited by the Rev. J. H. Todd. The publication of other interesting works is under consideration ; among these the Rutland Papers, from the M.S. collections of the present duke, relating to the corona tion of Henry VIII. and the Field of the Cloth of Gold, to be edited by Arr. Jerdan. MISCELLANEOUS. It has been ascertained that marriages have decreased fully a third in all the districts in which the tee-total system has been introduced.—Dublin Morning Register. The Constitutionnel Mates, that Nourri Effendi, ambassa dor of the porte ip Paris, would proceed to London to assist at the conference on the affairs of the East, until the arrival of Schekib Effendi, appointed ambassador of the Ottoman porte to the British court. SINGULAR FACT.-It is ascertained that twice the num ber of deaths occur at the age of 40 that happens in the preceding and succeeding years ; and that the same singular law holds good with respect to the decennial periods, 30, 50, 60, and 70. EXPLANATORY RETURNS.—The following ludicrous an swer was given, in return relative to the constabulary force, to the question Is the Watching and Lighting Act (3 and 4 William IV., cap. 90) carried out in the parish ? Answer, Every one fins theire own candel !—Preston Pilot. As a reward for the services of the 45th Regithent of Foot, during the chartist riots at Newport, it is the intention of government to make them a light infantry regiment, and for that purpose they are ordered to Woolwich to make them selves proficient in their military duties. The Suabian Mercury states that steam navigation is about to be established on the Vistula. Two iron steamers are only waiting at Danzig for the breaking up of the frost, to com mence regular passages as far as Cracow and Warsaw. They have been constructed in England by order of the Governor of Warsaw. On Thursday evening last, the Rev. William M. Bunting, Wesleyan minister, administered the ordinance of baptism by immersion, in the Baptist Chapel, George -street. This is the first instance, within our knowledge, of the ordinance of baptism being administered by immersion, in Manchester, by any of the Wesleyan preachers.—Manchester Guardian. QUIETNESS AT LAST.—A bickering couple residing near Manchester, were recently overheard in high controversy, and the repentant Benedict exclaimed, " I'm determined i'll have one quiet week with thee." " But how wilt thou get it? how wilt thou get it? how wilt thou get it? " said his' taunting spouse, with that reiteration which married ladies so provokingly practise—" I'll keep thee a week after thuo'rt dead !" was the tender rejoinder. There are no less than twelve vessels of large burden now in port, prepared to receive passengers for British North America, and the berths in nearly halt that number are alrea dy engaged. The tide of emigration from this district has never set in so strong in our memory, as in the present season, and bids fair to surpass all anticipation. We seriously believe Limerick will afford an outlet for 6,000 agricultural labourers and artisans, to Upper and Lower Canada, before the fall of the season.—Limerick Chronicle. SECRET SERVICE MONEY.—By a return of the sums granted under the head of secret service money, it appears that the amount granted in 1831 was £41,000 ; in 1832, £44,325 ; in 1833, £39,400 ; in 1834, £57,690 ; in 1835, £36,800 ; in 1826, £36,000 ; in 1837, £35,900 ; in 1838, £35,900 ; and in 1839, £39,900. IMPROVEMENT IN CLOCK WORK.—An improvement in clock work at present excites great interest in the scientific circles in Paris. M. Neuberger has discov6red a method of applying to pendulums of all dimensions a movement which requires to be wound up only once in three months, without in any degree affecting the regular working of the mechanism. —Polytechnic Journal. DiiATII OF CAPTAIN DICKINSON, R.N. C.B.—We have to announce the deraiie of this gallant officer, one of the heroes of Navarino, under Admiaal Sir Edward Codrington. Captain Dickinson was Knight of St. Anne of Russia, the legion of honour, and other foreign orders, conferred on him for his brilliant services. His post commission bears date May 13, 1828. THE MONMOUTH CHARTISTS.—Vincent and Edwards, the chartist rioters, have been found guilty of conspiracy. On Monday, at the Monmouth assizes, Mr. Baron Gurney sen tenced Vincent to be imprisoned for twelve months, and the defendant Edwards to be imprisoned for fourteen calendar months, to give sureties to be of good behaviour for five years, themselves in £5OO and two in £lOO each. Both defendants are in custody under a sentence of Baron Alderson at last assizes ; this sentence will, therefore, detain Vincent for eight months, and Edwards for thirteen months, after the expiration of the former sentence. THE GREATEST MUSQUITO STORY YET.—A correspond ent of the Cincinnatti Sun writes concerning the musquitoes of Michigan, that a man living near Grand River, being in the woods, was exceedingly annoyed by the musquitoes, and took shelter under an inverted potash kettle. His first emotions of joy for his happy deliverance and secure asylum, were hardly over, when the musquitoes having found him, began to drive their probosces through the kettle ; fortunately he had a hammer in his pocket, and he clinched them down as fast as they came through, until at last such a host of them was fastened to the poor man's domicile, that they rose and flew away with it, leaving him shelterless. EDINBURGH ANTIQUITIES.--On Wednesday, the workmen employed by the improvement commissioners' contractors, in lowering the roadway of West Bow, came upon a vaulted chamber from four to five feet under the surface ; it was built of finely-dressed stones, closely joined and cemented with mastic, and the bottom laid with fine wrought pavement, puddled underneath. It was about twelve feet long by about six or seven in width, and the same in height. As there was no aperture of communication into this structure, conjecture was, for some time after its discovery, busy in assigning a use to it, till at length a piece of pipe was found, near the bottom of it, which at once pointed it out as an ancient wester cistern, which it is likely may at some period have been em ployed in supplying the inhabitants of that once populous neighbourhood.—Edinburgh paper. We quote the following from the Northern Bee of St. Pe tersburgh :—ln 1809 there was only one political and literary journal published in Finland; now, 13 periodical publications are announced ; seven appear at Helsinfors, the capital of Finland, two at Abo, and one at each of the towns of Wasa, Wybourg, Borgo, and Uleaborg. Nine of these journals are in the Swedish, and four in the Finland language. THE JEWS AND THEIR MESSIAH.—The Dorpzeitung says that the Jews of Constantinople have, with their Rabbi, declared that they will not wait any longer than another year for their Messiah. If within that time he does not appear, they will conclude that he has already come, and then they will try to discover by what religion he is recognised. The Rabbi is entirely of this opinion, and has• even proposed to his congregation to profess Christianity forthwith. HEnrr.—The hemp of Russia may be superseded, ere long, by the flax of New Zealand. It is believed, says the New Zealand Journal, that the labour of obtaining the latter in its coarse state, and the charges of importation, will be fully compensated by a price of £lB per ton here ; the expense of dressing will be about £l2 more; so that at £3O per ton, New Zealand flax, in a state to supersede Russian hemp, will be delivered in this country. The price of Russian hemp, in 1839, ,was £45 per ton,—it is now £36, and £4O may be deemed the average. Mr. Thesiger, by accepting a seat in the House of Com mons, gives up, it is supposed, £lOOO to £5OOO a-year, derived from parliamentary business. As a set-off to this, however, his business in the courts will be increased, and he is placed on the high road to the highest honours of his pro fession—to which few men have a more rising and univer sally-acknowledged claim The Queen, through the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, pre sented the infant daughter of the Hon. Robert M. and Lady Harriet Clive, with a massive gold cup, accompanied by a spoon, knife, and fork of the same precious metal, on the occasion of the young lady's christening, and for whom her majesty was graciously pleased to stand sponsor. THE AUSTRIAN STATES. — The population of the Austrian states, according to a recent statistical account published by M. Sommer, at Prague, and M. Springer, at Vienna, amounts to 34,922,430 souls, of whom 2,168,694 are inhabitants of the grand duchy of Austria ; 935,575 of the duchy of Styria ; 1,195,874 of the Illyrian kingdom ; 814,892 of the Tyrol ; 4,001,925 of Gallicia and Lodomiria; 11,138,942 of Hungary and its dependencies ; 2,170,392 of Transylvania; 995,861 of the, military provinces ' • 4,534,197 of the Lombardo - Venetian kingdom ; and 373,479 of Dalmatia. The people inhabiting these countries are—Germans, Sclavonians, Italians, Hun garians, Walachians, Jews, Greeks, Armenians, Albanians, and Zingari or gypsies. These different people having for a series of years more or less mingled with each other, the number of each distinctly cannot be precisely ascertained. Thus the German population is estimated at 6,000,300 souls ; the Sclavonian, with its various ramifications, at 14,820,000 ; those of Italian origin at 5,027,197 ; the Magiars, the greater portion of the occupants of the fertile plains in the interior of Hungary, at 5,305,000; the Walachians at 1,567,000 ; and the Jews at 603,000. To these must be added the other races less numerous inhabiting different parts of the empire. HELSTON ELECTION.—When Mr. Bassett was returned for Helston, the evening organ of the government announced the fact, with the observation, " this balances the liberal loss at Lewes," thereby wishing the inference to be drawn that Mr. Bassett was a whig, although the local journals, whom one would suppose to be best acquainted with the matter at the time, declared him a conservative. What will the writer of the paragraph in question say when he sees the fact an nounced, which there is no contradicting, that the new member was conducted into the house by two conservative members, and took his seat on the opposition side ? What the motive of the ministerial paper was in making the state ment may be easily imagined. For our part we wish that every loss of the liberals may be " balanced" in a similar way. NORTH MIDLAND RAlLWAY. — Between Derby and Ro therham, (and on to Sheffield by the Sheffield and Rother ham Railway,) the principal operation is laying the perma nent road. A double line of rails is laid for a considerable distance north and south of Chesterfield. The following contracts are all completed or nearly so :—The Beighton, 12 miles north of Chesterfield ; the Eckington, Whittington, Chesterfield, North Wingfield, and Clay Cross. On the line north of Beighton, and up to Rotherham--the Staveley, South Wingfield, Lodge-hill contracts, and down to Derby, great exertions are being made to have a double line ready for the opening, and a great portion of this distance is laid. The only earthwork remaining on this part of the line, is finishing the sides of some of the large excavations, and completing an embankment at Bull-bridge. The stations will be completed shortly, as most of them are now roofed in. HIGHWAYS.—The committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the operation of the highways act have made their report. They recommend that the forma tion of parishes into districts should be compulsory; that the board of guardians under the Poor Law Unions should con stitute the board to direct the repairs of highways, and that the paid officers of such unions be made applicable to carry into effect the improvements recommended by the com mittee. The board to continue for three years or longer, if not dissolved by two-thirds of the voters at vestry meeting. The committee recommend the power of impounding stray cattle on the highways to be extended to the owners of ad joining lands, and that the expenses be settled by one magistrate ; and that where there are no pounds, a fine of one shilling per head should be levied independent of ex penses of proceedings. In lieu of a bill of indictment at the sessions, the surveyor be summoned before justices at petty sessions, who may appoint some competent person to report upon the state of repair, and thereupon make such order as may be necessary, subject, however, to appeal at the quarter sessions. The parochial assessment act, now applicable to the poor rates, to be extended to the rates levied for the repair of the highways. The statute duty by individuals to be repealed, and the materials carried on at the cheapest rate. The fees to clerks of peace and clerks to justices to be regulated by tables of fees made by the justices of the quarter sessions, and settled by the judges of assize. Extra-parochial places to be made liable to repair the high ways. The committee recommend the present highway act to be repealed and substituted by a new act, to include such alterations and additional provisions as now suggested. THE Inow TRADE. — An unusually large meeting of the Staffordshire ironmasters took place at Dudley on Thursday last, preparatory to the quarterly meetings, which will be held next week, commencing at Wallsall on Tuesday, the 7th instant. The state of the trade was fully gone into, and the report on the whole highly satisfactory. The quantity of pig iron made in Staffordshire last year is calculated at rather more than 338,000 tons, and the number of puddling furnaces 581, each consuming l 2 tons per week. It is fur ther calculated, that, owing to the reduction of 20 per cent. in the make, the accumulation of pig iron durin g th e pud dlers' turn-out will be worked down in the ensuing quarter. Orders in the midland counties are steady, and an advance of ss. per ton has taken place in Scotland. The trade is al together considered in so healthy a state, that it was decided by the meeting that no further reduction should be made ; and as the Shropshire trade is to a considerable degree ruled by the Staffordshire prices, we conclude that a similar result has attended the meeting of the Shropshire ironmasters which has since taken place.— Worcester Paper. &JAW fug Entelligthrt.

Of Foreign, a small lot of ordinary Brazil was sold at 46s 6d per cwt.-260 pockets Bengal Ginger sold at 19s, 60 bags Pimento, all faults, at 2V, and 250 bags black Pepper at 3,3 d to 4id per lb.—No sales of Bengal Rice , a small lot of Carolina sold at 365, duty paid.—The business in Rum is limited to 20 puns. of mid dling Jamaica, at 5s 6d, 30 casks of strong Demerara, chiefly at 6s, and 20 pipes of Havana at Is 8d per gallon. In the early part of the week the Tea market was very quiet, and very little business doing, but yesterday and to-day there being a better inquiry. the market closes with a firmer appearance, at last week's quotations. There is nothing to report in Indigo.—For Shell Lac there has been more inquiry, and nearly all the parcels offering have been picked up ; altogether about 300 chests have been sold at 33s to 830 per cwt.—A few chests of ordinary Lac Dye are reported at 6d per lb.: 20 chests East India Gum Arabic at 48s to 525.: 40 casks Cocoa Nut Oil at 405., and a quantity of Rattans at 2s Id.—The market for Saltpetre is less firm : the sales are 700 bags, 01 25s tid to 275, and for a small lot 345 6d was obtained.-30 tons Nitrate of Soda sold at 18s to 19s. There has been only a moderate business done in Dyewoods ; the sales are 50 tons Campeachy Logwood, an indirect import' at £lO lOs ; 150 tons Honduras and Jamaica at £7 lOs to £7 15s; 100 tons Ceara Fustic at £6 12s 6d ; 100 tons Carthagena at £5 2s 6d to £5 His; a few tons Savanilla at £5 155, and Cuba at £lO per ton. —The demand for Turpentine continues regular; about 1200 Wis. have been sold at lls 2d to 12s 3d, according to quality.-01 Ameri can Tar 200 brls have been sold, but the price is not reported.— There Chas been some inquiry for Montreal Pot Ashes, and 150 to 200 brls have found buyers, but the purchases have been confined to the new brands, at 245; the brand of 1838 is freely offered at 235, without effecting sales. Pearl Ashes are improving in value; about 200 brls have been sold, at 2gs 2d to 295 6d ; holders now generally ask 30s.—The demand for Flaxseed, for sowing, is but limited, and the sales are only to the extent of 200 to 300 hhds. New York at 67s 6d to 68s.—In Cloverseed the business has been confined to a few bags French red, at 70s to 80s.—Nothing done in Bees' Wax.— The public sales of Hides, on Tuesday, which consisted principally of export Hides, went oft briskly, and the whole sold at rather bet ter prices; 3700 dry salted Aricati brought did to did, 350 Lima did to lid, 330 Jamaica 54d to 50, 1100 dry Valparaiso 8d to Bid, 157 salted New York 44d, and 8600 East India Kips, 9d to 91d for sound dry and brined, 8d to Sid for Ist rubbed, and 7d to 74d for 2nd rubbed.—The sales of Tobacco, last month, amounted to 712 hhds, of which 32g were Virginia leaf, 113 stemmed, 34 Kentucky leaf, and 231 stemmed ; of these 130 were for Ireland, 30 for Scotland, and 114 for exportation, leaving 378 hhds for the home-trade. Prices of stemmed have given way, but leaf, being scarce, fully supports previous rates. The stock is now much reduced, and there is no prospect of any further importation for some months. More activity has been observable in the market for Brimstone than for some time past, in consequence of news having been re ceived from Naples, of the determination of the King to support the privileges granted to the French Company, whicewill, at any rate, lead to the protraction of the settlement of this question. The sales of the week have been about 300 tons, at stiffer prices. LIVERPOOL COTTON. MARKET, APRIL 4. The trade have again bokight rather freely, and there has been also a very good demand both for export and on speculation. Prices of American have in consequence fully recovered the de cline noticed last week, and are generally -01- , lb higher.

Fine Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, &c. we quote gBs to 100 s, and Belfast about the same rate. Pickled Butter without inquiry, and the nominal currency may be called gss to 965. Beef and Pork are un altered in value, and both expected to maintain high prices. The price of Bacon is well supported, prime middles being saleable at 51s per cwt. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 6. The number of Beasts at market today was a little larger than last week ; high prices were asked for all descriptions of Cattle, and sales effected at our last quotations, say for the primest Beef 7d to 74(1, second quality 6id, inferior tid—at the close of the day the Beasts were well sold up. The supply of Sheep was again very small, and the demand brisk, at fully our last quotations; prime Wethers Bd, second quality 74d, inferior 7d, and at an early hour in day the Sheep were mostly all sold. Beasts, sgo ; Sheep, 2347. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 4. The arrivals of British Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, during the last seven days, are to a fair amount, and the imports from abroad com prise 13,600 qrs. of Wheat, 2790 qrs. of Oats. and 2000 qrs. of Barley. Duties have been paid upon 1770 qrs. of Wheat, 209 qrs. of Barley, 280 qrs. of Beans, and 2060 barrels of Flour. On Tuesday last a moderate business was transacted in both Wheat and Oats at our previous quotations ; but the demand for either article has since been of a very limited nature, and, at yesterday's market, Wheat was generally noted Id to 2d per bushel cheaper.—Oats, also, were the turn in favour of the buyer. Really good Oatmeal has met a fair sale at 33s 6d to 34s per 2401b5., but inferior qualities, which constitute a very large portion of the supply, have been neglected. Fine malting Barley is scarce, and fully maintains the prices of last week ; grinding parcels are selling, in retail, at 5s to 5a 6d per &db. Beans upon a moderate demand, have brought full prices. No change in the value of Peas. American Flour may now be bought at 428 per barrel, free; and about 2009 brls. have been sold, in bond, at 295, but holders, generally, are not sellers under 29s 6d per barrel.
