The existence of a large agriCulttirg/ inliority in'Par-

which t VI d trustee; were let by auction oil the 15th of
September last, as the custom has been from time imme-
morial ; both the new and •old leases were granted for
eight years ; the covenants are strict, a land agent is ap-
pointed to inspect the property, who, at the animal meet-
ing when the accounts are audited, has to report whether
the covenants have been emitted ; a year's rent is paid
in advance at the fall of the hammer. The fairest way
will be to publish the auction bill, and show RI .I,,,sults.

OLD SAINT PAUL'S:
A TALE of the PLAGUE and the FIRE.
By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.
IS NOW READY.
6, We prefer the two first volumes of Old Saint Paul's' to
any previous work of their author. Treated as a Tale of ad-
venture these volumes have great nierit. The reader who has
once opened them will hardly be disposed to lay them down
again."—Athenaeum.
" We are glad to meet Mr. Ainsworth again in the region
of historical romance, a department of literature in which he
has distinguished himself above almost every author of
the day. A better subject than that which he has chosen for
his present volumes could not have been selected. Many pas-
sages remind us of the simple pathos and truthfulness of De-
fog. "—Observer.

A private letter from Malta, dated 19th ultimo,
mentions that Lieut. Wemyss, of the Vanguard, was killed
by a fall down the hatchway, whilst waltzing on the deck
with a brother officer, in the Bay of Marmorice, a few
days ago. The Numa transport has arrived safely at
Malta.
ANOTHER CHALLENGE !—The Rev. Tresham
Gregg, of platform notoriety, is now in Belfast, and by
way of puffing himself into notoriety, he has, we under-
stand, challenged Dr. Cooke to a public discussion, on the
subject of the it religious tendency of the Irish national
system of education.—. Northern Whig.

one.

Mr. GIVI3G opposed the Bill. Secrecy, dis-
patch, and moderate prices were, he said, the
best protection. He thought that the persons
who supported the Bill would become the vie-
thus of the law, should it pass. lie agreed in
the opinion that it NI/mild promote litigation, and
on the whole, do a great deal more injury than
good.
Sir ROBERT PEEL thought the present exten-
sion of the copyright for three months was suffi-
cient, but, though he voted for the s->cond reading,
his opinion was not made up as the extent of ,
pro-
tection which ought to be afforded. Ile will con-
sider that, the main point, on the next stage of
the Bill.
Mr. WARBURTON would vote for the second
reading, .but expected that in passing the details
of the Bill they would encounter great difficul-
ties. As the authors and owners of patterns were
not known, he suggested that they should estab-
lish a record of inventions, in order to enable the
Judges to determine what was piracy; and that
one or two years should be given to enable par-
ties to register their inventions. But even then
the Bill would not be complete unless an inter-
national copyright was established. He objected
also to the Bill, that it did not pro-vide a cheap
method of trying the issue, and unless that were
provided he should oppose the Bill in its subse-
quent stages.

Lord F. EGERTO.T supported the Bill, because
the majority of the respectable manufacturers of
Lancashire was in its favour.

Mr. LABOUCHERE thought a case had been
made out for extending the term of protection,
but at the same time he was afraid of injuring
the export trade. He was for the period of six
months;,and for sending the Bill into Committee.
Mr. Hymn contended against the doctrine
tha IGovernment and law could protect or pro-
mote trade. The French, he said, had more
taste than our people, because they studied
pictures and statues from their infancy, while
our popblation were refused admission into We: t-
minsterAbbey or the Royal Academy, unless
they paid for entrance. An Act of Parliament
bad been passed to encourage the use of shoe_
buckles, and in five years afterwards the use of
buckles was unknown. He could not understand
Mr. WARBURTON'S distinction between copyright
in books and copyright in designs he agreed,
however, with him that the details of the Bill
could not be worked out, and he therefore
ould vote against it.
In the end Mr. WILLIAMS did not press his
amendment to a division, and the Bill was read a
idad time, secon to be committe
vro forma, on
y. 11)%
On Mr. HODGES moving tO commit the Con-
stabulary Bill, Mr. F. 1114ixLE moved that it be
committed in six months. There was already an
Act of Parliament for vr9viding rural police,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Minot 2.
IN RE JAMES MOORE.
This day was fixed for his final examination.
The debts and liabilities are upwards of 50,0001., and the
estimated assets at nearly 42,0001. The examination of the
bankrupt as to various items in his balance-sheet occupied four
hours and a half, and that being concluded,
The Learned COMMISSIONER. said he never met a balanco-
sheet prepared with greater accuracy, nor a bankrupt who ap-
peared more willing to give every explanation to his creditors.
The bankrupt then passed his final examination.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Mißell 2.
IN THE MATTER. OF lIENNY HALL.
The insolvent, a comedian at the Adelphi Theatre, was dis-
charged on sureties until his hearing.
John Dale, of the Victoria Theatre, another comedian, was
the nest insolvent bailed out on a similar application.
A respectable solicitor, who had been engaged in Chancery
proceedings, applied to be liberated on bail.
The petitioner had been engaged as a solicitor in a number
of Chancery suits, and he had in his schedule good debts to
10,0001. He had, in fact, 16,000 i. owing to him more than
he owed.
The Court, after a good deal of discussion, granted the ap-
plication.

CONSISTORY COURT, MAReir 3.
HEAVISIDE V. 11E:4,VISIDE,

This was a suit of divorce brought by Captain Heaviside
against his wife, on the ground of adultery.
Dr. APDAMS on behalf of the husband was opening the
case, when
The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, for the wife, said that he could
riot offer any opposition to the prayer of Capt. Heaviside.
The COURT thought " the less said the better," and, as it
had no doubt of the adultery, it at once pronounced for the
prayer of the husband. _ _

CONSTABULARY FORCE.

Lord G. SOMERSET seing the Under-Secretary
of State for the Home Department in his pl ice, wished
to ask him when it was lilt, ly the returns rela..ive to
the Constabulary Force, which had Leen moved for,
would be laid on the table of the House?

Mr. F. MAULE said he could not directly answer
the NoUe Lord ; he would, however, make inquiries
on the subject, and would lay them on the table ai soon
as possibl

Mr. WALLACE presented petitions in favour of
the Coypright of Designs Bill.
Sir ROBERT PEEL presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Tring, stating that they lived only six
miles from Aylesbury, and praying that the Sheriff of
the county of Buckingham might be crap,-;wered to
summon them as Jurors for that county.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought in a Bill to make
further provision for exercising the right of voting tor
Members of Parliament.
The Bill was read a first time. _

Mr. VVA LLACE gave notice that, on the bringing
up of Lord Keane's Annuity Bill, he would move an
amendment, to the effect that, in the event of the ad-
visers of the Crown recommending to their Sovereign to
confer the honour of the peerage for signal services to
the state on any person, his private fortune should be
previously ascertained, in order that it might be
known whether he could, without a pension, support
the dignity of a Peer.
Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS gave notice that, in
the event of the Biil of his Learned Friend the Mem-
ber for IpsNieb, forl the Abolition of Capital Punish-
ment, tieing read a second time, he should m..ve in
Committee that all persons should be exempted frgin
the provisions of the Bill who had committed a capital
assault on a te.na!e under tw:lve a-s of age.
Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion for certain re-
turns r,liting to tLe inclusure of wait() lands devoted
to purposes of public amusement.

Sir ROBERT PEEL presented a petition from the
Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow in favour of the
Copyright of Designs Bill.
Mr. MILNES and Mr. HODSON present 2d similar
petitions, but the names of the Feitilners were not
heard in the gallery.
Mr. HUTTON presented a petition to the same
effect from the paper-stainers of Dublin.
Mr. WARBURToN presented a petition from cer-
tain calico-printers of Manchester against the Bill.

none cf the chief buyers have attended. The manufac-

and two shillings a couple less. The wool markt t has

MONEY and.COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
New Yot k Papers received this morning to the 14th Feb-
ruary, by the United States and Washington.
M‘l.Eon ItinicrEn.—An extra from the office of the Lock-
port Democratic and Ballance, confirms the statement pub-
lished in our paper of yesterday, that the Grand Jury after
being engaged two or three days in hearing the evidence against
Alexander M'Leod, came into Court on Saturday last with a
bill against him for murder. The Democratic adds that
M•Leod will have to remain in gaol until the Court of Oyer
and Terminer, to be held on the fourth Monday in March,
unless a Special Commission may be issued by the Governor,
with the advice and consent of the Senate. A Justice of the
Supreme Court, or Court Judge, must in all casts be ap-
pointed to preside in such Special Court.
Extract of a letter posted at the North and South American
Coffee. house :

" Office of Commercial Advertiser, Feb. 8.
" I have unpleasant news to communicate to you. The
United States Bank suspended payments last week, and other
banks in Philadelphia followed the examp'e. Delaware Banks
have also suspended. The United States Bank paid a large
sum before its stoppage."
SMALL NOTES.—" We are extremely glad to be able to
state,". says the Philadelphia Standard, " that we have ju t
learned from a gentleman direct from Harrisbourg, that not
only every sound Harrison democrat, but also a large number
of the friends of Governor Porter, are in favour of granting
to the banks the privilege of issuing one, two, and three dol-
lar bills.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date.

Loss OF FOUR LIVES IN TUE RIVER.—

(which is noticed elsewhere) Was succeeded by an acci-
dent of the most distressing description. Mrs. Combos
(tho wife of Tom Coombes) and two of his sisters, one
of winm was the wife of Goodrum (Coombo's
with an infant, were returning in a boat from Putney
after the contest, when, on their arrival near the.Cado -
gan Pier at Chelsea, an accident attended with a great
loss.of life occurred. It was nearly dark, and the boat

" We confidently recommend his book to those whose early
education has been neglected, and who are now afraid to enter
upon all the difficulties of grammar. We shall ourselves pre-

said the people, were in misery, but he denied the Corn-
laws were the cause of it. Did he bring anything
like facts to prove that they were not ? He admitted
the Corn-law was a great evil, and a bad law ; had
be said a word to shew that a repeal of it would
place the people in a worse position ?—{Loud cheers.)
If, as Leech had said, the factory system was the cause
of all the evil, how was it that the agricultural labour-
ers of Ireland, where there was no factory system,
were so badly off, even worse than our operatives ?
(Great applause.)
After speeches from Mr. Acland, Mr. Vincent, and
some others,

The amendment was put and negatived, the CIAIR.
MAN declaring the original motion carried by a large
majority, to the no small chagrin of the intruders.
The meeting separated a little before twelve o'clock.

By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single

but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the act-
vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holier the fol-
lowing option, at the age of 65
Annuity for remainder of life... ... £47 16 6

Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death.
Other periods of life (of SG, 55, and 60) may be also taken
with similar advantages.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
and alwf IS available during sickness or want of employment.

3. Two....hirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
N.B. Policies, as collateral money security, for periods of
one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by

The great oars wager on the Thames for. 501. came off
yesterday. After much .fine rowing, the two Maynards,
whose family have been known for the last half century
as first-rate wagermen, were defeated by Coombes and
Goodrum, who are comparatively boys in age and stature
with their adversaries, by the length of nearly a quarter of
a mile. The distance was from Westminster to Putney.
