LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1836.

The Army Estimates were brought forward last
night in the House of Commons, on which occasion
Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII moved an amendment
to the effecl, that the Foot-Guards be placed on the
same footing as infantry of .the line ; observing, in
support of his amendment, that the superior privileges
bestowed. on these favoured, aristocratic regiments,
occasioned much jealousy among the troops, of the
line ; which, however, Sir HENRY HARDINGE .de-
nied ; at the same time remarking, that the Foot-
Guards had seen as much service, and distinguished
themselves as highly as any other regiments, having
been " found first and foremost in danger. in.
the Peninsula, at Talavera and elsewhere, and in
the last battle of the war at Waterloo, having
• made a most glorious defence at HougOuniunt.".
Without presuming in the slightest degree to impugn
the skill, or bravery, or discipline of the Foot-Guards,
who, we are firmly persuaded, deserve all -thee praise
that the Right Hon. Baronet bestowed on them, we
may still be permitted to question the propriety of a
system, which confers on them privileges unknown to
the rest of the army. Granting that all our infantry
regiments are on a par as respects military ability,
why should one be left to " wither in the cold
shade of AristocraCy," and another be allowed to
bask in its broad meridian sun-shine ? Such a sys-
tem of favouritism, whatever Sir H. HARDINGE
may assert to the contrary, cannot but occasion
jealousies, which it should be
aamdoilligottlheessfisrostfoobrjet;
of Government to remove. Sir W. MOLESWORTII
deserves the thanks of all Reformers, for havinr,
brought this question forward ; n
candid avowal of his connection with that able and
liberal periodical, the London Review, which has
already done good service to the cause of Reform and,
bids fair to do much more. When so many of our
youne•, men of rank and fortune waste the most vain-
able years of their lives on the turf, or at the gaming_
table, it is gratifying to see one of the number devo.
ting his time and attention to enlighten the minds of
the people, on all the leading political topics of the day.

The Carlow Election Committee have at length
terminated their inquiry, and the result is just suchas,
it may be remembered, we anticipated from the first.
The Report, after alluding to the famous letter respect-
ing the two thousand pounds, states that the Com-
mittee, " upon a very careful investigation of what had
previously taken place between Mr. RAPHAEL, Mr.
TYRRELL, Mr. VIGORS, and others of the county of
Carlow, feel bound to add, that it was proved to their
satisfaction that Mr. O'CONNELL had acted on 'this
occasion at the express desire of Mi. RAPHAEL, and
was only the medium of communication between Mr.
VIGORS and others in the county of Carlow and Mr.
RAPHAEL. It appears that the money was paid to
ombeuttit i
t it was called
e discount
Mr. O'CONNELL'S general account, at his banker's in
London ; but was repaid the
for, some part of it in bills,
was allowed, and therefore the Committee are of opi-
nion that no charge of a pecuniary character can be
attached to Mr. O'CONNELL. It appears also that

e'stictided ,under thd ditettion cd
Mr. Vicriiis and others-in the county o Carlow, aiid
the Committee see no reason to question the legality
of the manner in which it was expended." Mr.
RIDLEY COLBORNE, who, as Chairman of the Coin-
mittee, Stated these circumstances last night in the
house of Coma-tons, further added, that " the Re-
port was founded on the unanimous opinion of the
Committee, and that unanimity was not attended with
any sacrifice of principle or compromise of opinion,
but was the result of a full and fair consideration of
the subject." Nothing can be more honourable. to the
Committee, or satisfactory to Mr. O'CONNELL, than
this " unanimous" decision, which at once disposes
of all the charges that the Tories have been
heaping up against the Honourable and Learned
Member for _months past. We " calculate"—as
JONATHAN would say-that these men will be some-
what shy of calumniating him in future. It is dangerous
for children to play with edged tools, and DANIEL iS
a sharp blade not to be handled by the Tories with
impunity. We -take for granted that as the Times
was among the foremost to insist on a Parliamentary
investigatiOn—of course with the view of enabling Mr.
O'CONNELL to set himself right in the eyes of the
public—our considerate Contemporary will not be among
the last to congratulate him on his triumphant ac-
quittal. As for poor Mr. Ex-Sheriff, the less said
about him the better. It would be cruel to expatiate
on the peculiarities of his position, seeing that he has
lost-Ist, his election-2dly, his 2,000/.,-3dly, his
Baronetcy—and fourthly, what little reputation for sa-
gacity he had to lose. However, despite these mani-
fold afflictions, he has still the consolation of reflect-
ing that virtue is its own reward—a consolation which
we devoutly hope will cheer him in the domestic re-
tirement for which his genius best qualifies him.

It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report that the
second reading of the Bill for the better administration
of justice in the West Indies, met with no opposition
in the Upper House last night. This bespeaks a less
factious spirit on the part of several of their Lordships
than we were prepared to expect. We certainly had
anticipated an harangue from some sapient Peer,
denouncing as stranglers of the Constitution all
Members of either House, who should dare to violate
the sanctity of our Colonial system of judicature.
But, greatly to our surprise and, we may add, to our
satisfaction, there was not a voice raised against Lord
GLENELG's highly important measure of judicial
Reform. To purify the sources of justice in our
Colonies is an undertaking worthy of a wise Minister
and a great nation. The Bill now before the House
of Lords is well calculated to effect the object contem-
plated by the Noble Colonial Secretary.

The public will have sincere pleasure in learning
that our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN has patronized
a plan for the construction of a harbour at Tre-
moutha Haven, in the Bristol Channel, which, when
completed, will be of immense importance in diminish-
ing the risks to which all vessels are exposed in sailing
round the headlands, to enter the English Channel.
from the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. To carry
this great undertaking into full effect, a Company has
been established, which proposes the erection of a
town contiguous to the harbour, and likewise the
construction of a railway to Launceston ; from whence
it may be easily extended in separate branches to Ply-
mouth and Exeter. A Bill for the incorporation of
this Company, which includes among its promoters
persons of the highest rank in the country, will shortly
be submitted to Parliament. So great and perma-
nently useful an undertaking deserves every encourage-
ment.

New York papers to the 20th of February, in-
clusive, have been received. They state that on the
10th an insurrection of the slaves took place at Nash-
ville and Tenessee ; and that on the first outbreak the
Planters' and Union Banks of Tenessee were both
set on fire, and the latter utterly destroyed. The in-
habitants were in a dreadful state of alarm and
anxiety. The result was not known when the Gla-
diator, the vessel in which these journals were dis-
patched for England, left the harbour of New York.
On the morning of the 18th a fire broke out in
Mulberry-street, New York, in an establishment be-
longing to the Methodist Tract Societies of that city.'
The loss is estimated at two hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars. The insurance upon the building was
only ten thousand dollars.
A Bill has passed the Chamber of Representatives,
which enacts that the Bank shall make the following
subscriptions to the stock of the following Railway
Companies :--.

Dollars.
Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road • 200,000
Williamsport and Elmira Rail-road
Cumberland Valley Rail-road
By the Bth section subscriptions are required to be made to
various Turnpike Companies to the amount of 139,000 dollars.
The Sth section provides that the charter shall be forfeited,
if the Bank shall abuse or misuse the privileges or power
hereby conferred on it.

The following are extracts from the Papers :
CENTRAL AMERlCA.—Advices have been received from
Guatemala to the 29th December last by the brig Mary Ann,
which state that the surrounding country was in a very
troubled state.
The President Morazan, as the head of the popnlar party,
was exercising a power unlimited, but by his own discretion,
over the inhabitants of Guatemala; and it appears that the
system of persecution he had followed had increased the oppo-
sition to his arbitrary administration.
Fresh disturbances bad broken out at San Salvador in the
month of November, but at the latest dates order was restored.
Espinosa and many other public officers and citizens were ex-
pelled from the country, some of whom bad arrived at Balize.
A dreadful revolution had just exploded at Costarica, the
only corner of the whole South American Continent in which
the evils of civil war had been hitherto unknown, but we are
not told in what this revolutionary movement originated ; vve
merely know that preparations were making at the scat of the
General Government to send a military force against the
parties to it.

rock, of about 25 tons, became detached from the roof, and by
its fall five men were instantly killed, . viz •—James Bulger,

ward Roberts was severely injured, but hopes are entertained

rowly escaped, his feet having been caught by the falling rock,
and he was unable to extricate himself until some of the rock
was removed ; his injuries, however, were but slight.
THE " SOMNAMBULIST," IN PHILADELPHIA.—It appears
from the Newspapers, that Mrs. Wood has been disturbing
the repose of the Philadelphians by her performance in the
above Opera. }ler triumph over their habitual apathy to
stage affairs has been so complete, that they have actually

but those gentleman have not yet seen the Opera of The
obwfeeelentncgsoouriilnftagyr her songs. No doubt it was all very enchanting,
Somnambulist in the full blow of its excellence—to do so,
a visit to New York will be requisite. They must witness
its performance at the Park Theatre, with its ample chorus
and well-trained orchestra, to judge correctly of its merits.
In April next the Woods will be here, and we especially
invite the musical amateurs of Philadelphia to charter half a
dozen steam-boats, and a reasonable number of railway cars,
to bring them on, that they may witness how Operas ought
to be, and can be performed in Gotham.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have
been received. The following official bulletin appeared
in the Journal de Paris of Wednesday evening :
" A telegraphic dispatch from Narbonne, dated Bth inst.,
announces that 4,000 Carlists, who were proceeding for Puy..
cerda, in place of attacking that town, had, on the 7th inst.,
directed their march against Ripoll. The Journals of -the
6th state, that Mina was still at Barcelona. His Aide-de-
Camp ( Cardero) had been elected Deputy for Malaga, in
which city, it is said, some troubles have occurred. Intelli-
gence received from Valencia, dated the 3d inst., states that
200 insurgents were at Beceite. Their Chief ( Cabrera) had
compelled the smaller bands to join him. In New Castile,
Ciudad Real was attacked on the 28th ult., by a considerable
body of the enemy. The Catalonian bands intercept the com-
munication on all sides."
We would almost venture to assert that there is not
a syllable of truth in this communication. The Jour-
nal de Paris is notorious for its fabricated intelligence;
and even so recently as Sunday last it published what
it pretended was a telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne,
the falsehood of which was not discovered before its
ruinous effect was experienced on the Stock Exchange.
Various causes arc assigned for the readiness with
which several of the French Ministerial Journals give
insertion to every rumour which magnifies the success
of the Carlists. Many suppose that the KING is per-
,nally inclined to favour Don CA.RLOS ; others that

the leading journals have been bought over by the
Coio, riginitS ; Bat the greater number are of opinion
that M. litmus is• pricy to these fabrications,
which intends to plead in justification of active
intervention on the part of France. The last
of these suppositions is by , much the more
probable. We know ourselves that M. TIIIERS is
extremely anxious to put down the rebellion in Spain
by means of a French army ; and we cannot forget,
that since his accession to the Presidency of the
Council, the Press has spoke❑ much more ominously
of the QUEEN'S cause than it did previously. These
things do not occur without a deep meaning.
On Wednesday the Chamber of Deputies was en-
gaged in discussing two Ministerial demands, in the
shape of projects of law—time one for an additional
grant of 1,200,000 francs for the Secret Service Fund,
and the other for- a grant of 55,000 francs to defray
the expense of the Archbishop of BORDEAUX'S
ele-
vation to the dignity of a Cardinal. . .

PARIS, MARCH 10.-The National has a private letter from
Frankfort, dated March 5, which should seem to prove that
the allied powers have already turned to account the conspi-
racy reported in some- German papers.
It is confirmed that serious excesses have taken place in the
territory of Cracow, and that blood has been spilt. About
twenty persons included in the number of those who were to
be transported to America, attempted to escape into the adja-
cent province belonging to Prussia and Austria, doubtless in
order to find their way to France. These unfortunate indivi-
duals who were without, were surrounded, and several of them
were severely wounded.
Some hundred persons, -sho were forced to leave the terri-
tory of Cracow, have already set out from Podgorzo, under
Austrian escort, to proceed to Trieste. Since the invading
corps has accomplished its design, it is nevertheless receiving
daily reinforcements. Besides the city of Cracow, fifteen
other places are occupied by the Austrians, Prussians, and
Russians. The Tete du Pont of the Vistula is being fortified.
After having violated the treaty of Vienna, in that part
which relates to the independence and neutrality of Cracow,
the internal constitution of the country has been also violated.
By unworthy treatment, the President of the Senate has been
compelled to resign, and is succeeded by a stranger who is not
elected by the free choice of the representatives, as the Con-
stitution requires.
The Priest Delacollonge has appealed to the Court of Cas-
sation.

A letter from Chateauroax, dated March 5, says—Yester-
day evening, at six o'clock, Countess Bertrand died at her
scat of Laleux, near Chateauroax, after a long and painful
illness, which she supported with the firmness manifested at
St. Helena by the heroic companion of the last friend of Na-
poleon.—Messager, March 16.

• We understand that a great number of petitions for
the repeal of the Stamp duty on Newspapers, are in
the hands of Members of Parliament ; and that "their
presentation has hitherto been prevented in consequence
of the pressure of private Parliamentary business. If
the information we have received upon this subject
be correct ; we owe it to ourselves and the country to
call upon the gentlemen to whom such petitions have
been entrusted, to present them on Monday next. The
CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER is personally no
stranger to the opinion of the country respecting the
baneful influence of this pernicious impost ; but
it ought to be remembered that his convic-
tions will. not justify any gentleman _in with-
holding a petition which may influence the decision of
other Membars of the Legislature. In most of the
petitions referred to the total repeal of the Stamp duty
is prayed for ; but as such a measure may be inconve-
nient in the first ifistance, we shall be perfectly satisfied
with a reduction.
