T. -sac ;.....e.:.-erdTren-0--Th Fri) tiiiZerc ial world, to
JL notice that, at a GENERAL MEETING of the
SOCIETY of GUARDIANS for the PROTECTION of
TRADE, which has been established nearly seventy years, it
was stated that during the last seven years not twenty of its
members had been defrauded. We can, therefore, most cor-
fidently recommend to all these who are subject to imposition
being practised upon them, to become members of this most
useful Society.

formed, showed himself in powerful contrast to the
leader he would depose. Throughout Lord Stanley's
speech in opposition to the Bill there was that desti-
tution of even the remblince of candour toward the
mea7ure it was his object .to damage in the estima-
tion of the House and of the country—that thorough
abandonment of recollection of what had passed in for-
mer debates on similar tneasures—so convenient an ob-
liviousness of what he had himself uttered in those de-
bat,s, when the expressions he had used were quoted
aganst him, in illustration of his flagrant inconsistency
—combined with such adtnirabie heroism of as-
sertion, unsupported by the semblance of proof—as can
leave no doubt of his eminent fitness for being Prime
Minister in any cabinet in which defiance of principle
is the essential qualification of membership, and the
alienation of Ireland from England the end to be at-
tained.

(Flom the Courier.)
We say it with unalre3ted sincerity, and casting
utterly aside any feeling of partisanship which might un-
duly influence opinion, that the speech of Lord St in-
ley last evening, on opening his ease against the Bill of
Lord Morpeth, wiw, perhap., as an exhib;tion of the
highest and most finished powere of ratiocination, re-
lieved with happy illustrations, in which fallacy and
contemplste 1 deception were brought to the grindstone
of sarcasm and ridicule, and embellished with the chaste
and severe graces of a fervid elcquence, the most per-
fect spe;.!irnea of st item:l:dike oratory which, evea
within the walls of Yailiament, has reionaded
for years. In realing it, mind, truth, temper,
earnestnels, and the most elevirtA conceptions, hill be
found to pervade its every line. Without pretending
the presumption of illustrating further those topics
upon' which that speech must flash apprehension and
conviction wherever perused, we may be permitted to
resume some of the more salient points of the debatr,
and to state the general results of the impression they
will produce.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that if the Right
Rev. Prelate intended to found a motion upon the,peti-
tion, he had better present the petition a few days before
making the motion.
The Bishop of EXETER would simply now give notice
of Fig intention to present the petition, and he could
assure the Noble Baron that he should be ashamed of
himself if he entertained any specific intention on the sub-
ject, without first hearing the opinions of their Lcrd-
ship?. When he presented the petition, he should have
the.:opinions of Noble Lards upon the matter, and those
opinions would have their effect upon his mind as to any
ultetior motion he might think proper to make. He
would, therefore, at present, give notice that he would
preset,t the petition on Thursday, 4th March.
Lcrd DUNCANNON then moved for a return of
despatches from the Governor-General of Canada.
The NOBLE LORD also moved for a return cf the ex-
pense incurred in the tial of Lord Cardigan.
Lord DENMAN presented a tetition from cer-
tain inhabitants of London and its vicinity, praying
that pt:rson3 having conscientious scruples against
oaths should be allowed to make affirmations in
all cases where oaths arc requited by law, al in the case of
Quakers and Moravians.

Lord LYNDHURST having learned that a Bill was
in progress in the House of Commons for the better admi-
nistration of the law in the Courts of Chancery, and that
it might be considered a Government measure, he trusted
that the Noble Lord opposite would take care that it
contained a provision for compensation to officers of
that Court fur any loss they might sustain by
the operation of the Bill. He made this suggestion lest
there should be any omissirn in the Bill of so great injus-
tice as to cause its rejection by this House; their Lord-
ships not hi.ving power to insert such a clause.

Lord MELBOURNE sail the obsel-vation was extra-
ordinary as addressed to him from the other iiie of the
House upon a Bill pending in the Commons, and upon
a money clause of that Hear, hear, and
cheers.): He would say, however, that he should
take care that compensation be provided for all who might
be justly and legally entitled to it.—(Hear, 'mar.)
Lord LYNDHURST said he had made the observa-
tion only by way of caution.
Their Lordships then Adjourned.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

We have been long and most assiduously labouring to win
to our uncongenial northern shore that wayward and gay
daughter of " the sweet south"—masquerade. The experi-
ment has proved almost Uniformly vain. We have neither the
quick facetious vein—nor the spontaneous dramatic spirit from
which this singular popular emanation breaks forth in its native
soil. It is the embodiment of the soul of satire amongst the
children of Italy—it throws the pasquinade into the various
forms of farce, and through that medium lashes the prevailing
follies of the time. We cannot personify its jocund train, and
for the most part, fall into most pitiable mockery. The ordi-
nary public masquerades "in this our metropolis, have been dis-
gusting for their unmitigated grossness—their coarsely animal
character—their utterly vulgar Saturnalias quality. The
effort now made at this theatre to give them something of a
better tone is creditable. It greatly mitigates their demerits.
It emulates the Bals Masque of Paris, and may be consi-
dered to realise a very animated fancy ball, in which attention
to something like order is preserved and well regulated, exten-
sive exhibition of dance, set off with a great variety of bright
and picturesque costume, is secured. The arrangements for
the display of Monday night were very complete in the house.
The orchestra was brought to a position at the centre of the
dress circle. A fresh crimson drugget was laid down on the
boards of the whole area, and the theatre appeared to be bril-
liantly lit up. The dress circle was appropriated to the use of
the masqueraders—the other parts of the house were reserved
IT spectators, and from the very commencement of the night's
work they were occupied by a crowd which seemed very much
to enjoy the scene upon which it looked down. The number
of masqueraders was very great indeed, and they exhibited many
very elegant, and some most s'riking specimens of costume.
Amongst the more prominent supporters of the scene in its true
spirit were a considerable number of French artistes, as we must
call them, and they gave an animation to the dance, in which a
more than ordinary Vestris character prevailed. The music
was excellent, and well calculated to inspire the children of
Terpsichore on the occasion. The attendance of dominoes was
very full. The arrangements fur refreshment and for supper
were plenary and convenient, and the whole affa'r passed off with
the most ample success.

MUSICAL CHIT-CHAT.

The Philharmonic Society had a general meeting last week,
to take into consideration a communication from Mr. Costa,
at the desire of Laporte, that such of the perforiners as wished
to be engaa,ed at the Opera for the ensuing season must do so
under an agreement to attend at all times when required,
whether on the mornings appointed for the Philharmonic re-
hearsals, or otherwise. After much discussion it was resolved
that matters should take their course as heretofore ; but nearly
forty of the performers, who belonged to both orchestras, and
who had already signed their agreement with the directors of
the Philharmonic, were given to understand that they mutt
make their election which of the two orchestras they would
give up, should Laporte insist on their attendance whenever
he thought fit to call them. This was a most distressing
situation to the performers, and they assembled at the Op: ra
House on Fri,lay, to meet Costa, who behaved extremely well
throughout the unpleasant business, and the result of the con-
ference was that the whole of them were re-engaged by Costa
for the present season ; and we trust that no collision of re-
hearsals will take place if it can possibly be avoided.
The following artistes have been engaged for her Majesty's
Theatre :—Grisi, Persiani, Pauline Garcia, Rubini, and La-
biache, but not Tamburini yet. Both Taglioni and Cerito
have also been engaged ; so that we may anticipate a most
brilliant season, which will commence on the 6th or the 13th
of March, at the last.

THE GERMAN OPERAS.—Drury-lane has been engaged by
Mr. Bunn for four months, for the German Company, who
will commence its performances about the middle of March.
The principal singers are to be of first-rate talent, with a band
of forty, and a chorus of sixty, which Herr Schumann will
bring with him from Germany. The Director is to be the
composer Marschner. Weber's splendid opera, Oberon, is to
be brought out, and in June Meyerbeer wilt come over to su-
perintend his celebrated opera of Les Huguenots, with Ger-
man words. The season will close on the 6th of July, when
Eliason will resume his Concerts d'Ete on a very extensive
scale.

ANCIENT CONCERTS.—The first performance of ancient
music this season (being the sixty-fifth) will take place on the
lOth of March, under the direction of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge : conductor of the evening, H. H.
Bishop, Mus. 13ac. Oxon.

ENGLISH OPERA House.—We are glad to hear that Balfe
is progressing most Fatisfactorily with his arrangements for
opening the Lyceum on the 6th of March. 'The subscription
from those who feel it a duty to support native talent is daily
increasing, and it will, we hope, at least keep pace with that
for the German company, which, it is reported, amounts to
about 6,0001.

The various positions of Lover, Husband. and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inherent privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

SPORTING.

The next Ascot Cup is to be the work of Mr. Cotte-
rill, and the subject chosen by him is the " Wilde Jager"
of the German poet Burger, which Sir W. Scott has
translated. The grouping represents the " Wilde Jager"
seated on a steed, in the act of impaling a stag at the
very foot of the altar, while a hermit, on his knees
pleads to the huntsman not to stain the shrine with blood'

LITERATURE.

MIDDLETON'S LIFE OF CICERO. Part

Moron, London, 1841.

For this re-publication, in cheap monthly
Parts, of the learned Dr. Middleton's well-known
" Life of Cicero," we are indebted to the judgment
and enterprise of Mr. Moxon. The present Part
concludes the life of the illustrious Roman
statesman, whose character is pourtrayed by his
indefatigable biographer with great elaborate-
ness, but in a spirit rather more encomiastic,
perhaps, than strict justice would warrant.

The New Zealanders are estimated at between 60,000
and 70,000, but are widely dispersed. It is calculated
that they consume annually a hundred • thousand pounds
worth of English manufactured goods, exclusive of the
money they lay out in fowling-pieces, powder, shot, and
tobacco.

with the dearness of food, and restrictions on trade, have

The Somerset County Chronicle observes, in an article
on the state of parties--" The Tories, as a party, were
destroyed by the Reform Bill. The Whigs, as a party,
have now ceased to exist. Far be it from us to assert,
as some of our readers appear to have understood it, that
Whig principles are destroyed ; we maintain only that
the Whigs, as a separate and defined party in the State,
are no more.
.trpon the ruins of the old parties of Whig
and Tory two new parties have arisen, and are in daily.
nay, hourly progress of formation, and in them all minor
shades of difference must ere long be merged ; they are,
Conservative and Radical--the former advocating good
government for the people, the latter government by the
people."

MONEY and COMMEitCIAL NEWS.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

We have had very little doing all day in any of
the Markets, and prices were flat, except as regards
Spanish Stock. Money was scarce. Consols for im-
mediate transfer brought 88i to 89, and for the open-
ing 891 i to 89g. Exchequer bills were depressed to lOs
and- 7s. premium, and India Bonds to Is. premium and
ls. discount. Bank Stock was dull at 164, and India
Stock at 249, being the previous value. The New
Three-and-a-11-elf per Cents. realised only 99 to 981.

Spanish Active Bonds were quoted 24i in the morn-
ing, and 25 to before the close of business. Portu-
guese New Five per Cents. went up from 324 to 33+ to
f, while the Three per Cents. were at 20. Brazil Bonds
were marked 581, and Colombian Dutch Two-and.
a-Half per Cents. were 52k to S.
There was no positive decline in the Share Market,
but very little inclination existed to do business. Great
Western Railway Shares were at 1411- to rs+, and South
Western 16a to 1 i prem. Brighton were 131 to 131,
find North Midland 35 discount.

TRODD V. FARNFIELD.

This was an action brought to recover damages for in-
juries done to the horse of the plaintiff. The parties
were near neighbours at Woolwich, and in August last
the defendant borrowed the horse in question. While
driving him he had the misfortune to throw him down.
As usual in such causes the evidence given for the
plaintiff differed exceedingly from. that produced by the
defendant. For the former several persons deposed that
the value of the horse before the accident, was between
211. and 23/ ; that it was very much damaged, having
both knees broken, an incision on the hock, and had re-
ceived several injuries on the head. That it was so
deteriorated in value as to be worth no more than from
101. to 12/, and that it had actually been sold to a Mr.
Parsons for 41. 10s., and another horse valued at twelve
guineas. The defendant had paid 5/ into Court as the
full compensation for all the injuries done to the horse,
and he produced witnesses who proved that the horse
was not worth more than 12/. before the accident ; that
they were very slight, and that making full allowance
for the few days he would be off work, for the farrier's
charge, &c., 3/. would be ample remuneration. It was
also given in evidence that after the transaction between
plaintiff and Parsons, the latter expressed his dissatis-
faction with tl.a horse he had got in exchange for his
own, and wished to annul the bargain, but the plaintiff
refused, saying he would not have his cob back again
on any account, because he had a law suit about it, and
he meant to get 20/. for it.
After an elaborate charge from Baron Gurney, the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 51
beyond the 5/. paid into Court.
Mr. Erle and Mr. Peacock were Counsel for the
plaintiff, Mr. Petersdorf appeared for the defendant.

ADMIRALTY COURT-(iHISDAY)

THE LONDON-.- SALVAGE.

This was ,a suit instituted to gain recompense for ser-
vices rendered to the brig London, on her way from
Stockton-on-Tees to London.
Dr. ADAMS appeared on behalf of the salvors, and
read the affidavits on which the demand was grounded. It
appeared that on the night of the 14th of October, the
brig, when in Gravesend Reach, came into collision
with a steamer, by which her bowsprit was carried
away, and she received considerable damage otherwise ;
in consequence of which she was compelled to be run
upon the Chapman Sands, to save her from sinking. A
steam-tug was passing through the reach at the timer
the master- of 'Which,' seeing a -signal of distress,

as her husband. It was distinctly proved yesterday by
several witnesses that the claimant was mistaken, but
being " convinced against her will," and still arguing
her point, the Magistrate cut short the thread of her
discourse by demanding bail.
A young girl of the name of Lovelace, from Scotland,
was charged before the Sitting Magistrate at Greenwich,
with breaking a window. It appeared that the poor
creature was in bad health, not half clad, and driven to
commit the offence from hunger. She said she had
broken the pane to be committed to prison and prevent
her from dying of starvation in the streets. The Magis-
trate offered to send her to the workhouse, but she abso-
lutely refused to go, preferring a prison. She was
committed for fourteen days. Two young men brought
up for begging were, ,discharged, and ordered to quit
the neighbourhoodi, when they turned round and said,
as soon as they were outside they would. beg again, as
they were starving, and would be better off in prison.
The distress of the poor in that district is beyond con-
ception.
At the Mansion house yesterday a young man of the
name of Farrell, said to be very respectably connected,
was committed to take his trial for stealing, on Saturday
last, from the counter of the London and Westminster
Bank, two 301. notes.

In the police report from Guildhall will be found some
account of the.blessings of the new police in the City.
The young girl charged with setting lire to the flans-
town School of Industry was fully committed at Queen-
square yesterday to take her trial for anon.
