LIBRARY COMMITTEE.

On the motion of Sir It. INGLIS, the Library
Committee was re-appointed.
Several of the sessional orders having been dis-
posed of,

The SPEAKER called upon Mr. Heywood, who
sat at the bar, to bring up the report on toe Address

BANK 6LIARTER,

Lord G BENTINCK wished to know whether
'it was the intention of the Government to give a
full explanation to the House of the circumstances
which induced her Majesty to authorise her Ministers
to advise the Governors of the Bank of England to
infringe the Bank Charter Act of 1844.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said that he stated last night, in answer to a question
that had been put to him, that he was ready and
prepared to make that statement then ; but, in ac-
cordance with the apparent wish of the House, he
statt,d that he would do so on Tuesday. Having
made that statement, although he Nv w) prepared now
to state the intentions of the Government, he thought
it would he hardly fair towards the House to make it
now.—(Hear, hear.) It was not usual to introduce
subjects of such importance upon the bringing
up of the report on the address. He thought
it would be more consistent with the general
intentions of the House that he should not
make the statement now, but reserve it till Tuesday.
He had laid on the table of the House that day the
correspondence that had taken place ; that would be
printed and ready for Members before he made his
statement.

Despite the precedence given to the question of our
monetary embarrassments in the Royal Speech, as
well as in the observations of those who proposed and
seconded the Address from the two Houses of Parlia-
ment—lrish difficulties, Irish crimes, and Irish desti-
tution have again, as a matter of course, engrossed
the attention of the Legislature. However much we
may deplore this perpetual monopoly of the time and
attention of the Lords and Commons by our brethren
across St. George's Channel, it is impossible to feel
amazement at its continual recurrence. When a
whole people is advancing in decrepitude it is im- '
possible it should prove otherwise than garrulous.
When it has long continued to exist either upon the
doles of benevolence or the hansels of friendship, it
is but a natural consequence that it should become
clamorous for a repetition of such charities. It is
surprising, however, to find that the more

BANKRUPTCY and INSOLVENCY

LAWS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SLR,—In your report of the speech which you attri-
bute to me at the meeting held yesterday at the London
Tavern, on the subject ot the bankrupt-laws, I find the
following passage.—" The learned gentleman expressed
his disapproval of the present law, and strongly approved
of arrest at the instance of the Court of Bankruptcy,
because it was prompt, silent, and sure. The seizure of
property was often attended with expense and difficulty,
but the seizure of the body was alway s safe, because
every creditor knew his debtor."
You will, I am sure, be equally sorry and surprised to
learn that in attributing the expression of those senti-
ments to me you have been grossly imposed upon. I
made no allusion whatever to the law ot arrest, nor to
the seizure of person or property. Not only is every
line, butevery.syllable, and every letter of the passage, a
pure invention; nor do I believe that any such trash
was uttered by any one else at the meeting. No such
passage is to be found in the reports of any of the morn-
ing papers, and it seems difficult to suppose that the
misrepresentation can be accidental. I take it for
granted, therefore, that you have been imposed upon.
I feel the more annoyed at having such opinions im-
puted to me, inasmuch as they are directly opposed to
those I entertain. I decidedly object to the restoration
of the power of arrest as exercised under the old system.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

BRAZIL MAIL.

RIO DE JANEIRO, OCT. 1, 1847.—REVIEW OF THE
MARKETS FROM 17TH TO 30TH SEPT. - Business has
been very restriced as regards imports. The sales of
Coffee have been to a fair extent, and the transactions
in exchange have been considerable.

IMPORTS.—The arrivals with merchandise consist of
vessels with assorted cargoes:-5 coals ; 3 dry goods ;
1 flour; 2 flour and dry goods ; 4 flour and sundries ;
2 hides ; 1 surnter and sundries ; 4 salt; 4 wine and
sundries.

EXPORTS.—Coffee—After the arrival of the packet the
market began to give way, and prices declined 100 a 150
rois. and at reduced quotations some important transac-
tions occurred. The total sales of the month may be
estimated at about 140,000 bags.
HlDES.—Arrived: 7,600 Rio Grande; 5,400 River Plate
market day, and sales limited to 7,000 of the former
sorts, and of the stock 54,000 Rio Grande, 50,000
River Plate.
Freights received during the past week, but the
subsequent arrivals have made the market less firm.
MONEY MARKET.—For specie prices are generally
lower, and the markets very dull.—Rio Mercantile Jour-
nal, Oct. 2.

WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—There is no pro•
bability that her Majesty and the Cuurt will leave Osborne
before the last week in December. The extensive architec-
tural ornaments, and the planting of many thousand trees,
which have been delayed until now, that they may have the
benefit of royal supervision, will alone occupy a fortnight or
three weeks.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The whole
of the works upon this line, now completed as far as Bangor,
will be inspected this week by Mr. H. Stephenson, the com-
pany's engineer, who is now directing the various operations
tor raising the tubular bridge over the Conway to its ap-
pointed place. The process is expected to be completed

HER IIAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The longest, most brilliant, and most succ• ssful season
ever recorded in the annals of her Majesty's Theatre.
c1,,54 don Saturda). The opera was La Sonnambules,
with Jenny L'nd as Amina and Gardoni as Elvino—an
Amina and the El vino par excellence of the stage. At
the conclusion Jenny Lind was called on, we will not
,ay how often. Since we have seen the furore which
Jenny Lind's performance of this character has inva-
riably excited, we have ceased to consider as fabul-
ous the accounts we have read of the " doings" of
Italian audiences in the way of calling on and
bouquet-throwing ; although until the advent of
Jenny Lind, we were not inclined to give implicit beliet
to the stories of artistes, who were called on twenty times
in the course of a night. The Pas des Deeses was re-
peated for the last time, and the Deeses smiled their
adieux to their respective worshippers until next season.
There was a general call for Mr. Lumley at the conclu-
sion of the opera. Mr. Lumley, however, did not make
his appearance, a circumstance we regret, for we could
have ‘iished him to have received those plaudits which
are so justly his due, for his courage in facing, and his
skill in overcoming difficulties before which any ordinary
man would have shrunk, but which he turned into a
walls of achieving a more brilliant triumph thin had
been achieved by any of his predecessors. We had in-
tended to have given a review of the season ; want of
space, however, compels us to defer it until to-morrow.

Mr. BRIERY.—He was in the habit of reading stories
about young ladies being carried off by young men into

The RECORDER.—Re_aIIy we cannot have the contents
of the nooks read.—(Laughter).
The RRCORDER summed up, and explained the
law. It was for them to say whether the prisoner
sent the letter with a malicious intention or not. They
would recollect that no issue of insanity was set up.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty. -
The former conviction was proved.
Mr. Chanceller stood forward to recommend the pri
sorter to the mercy of the Court.
The RECORDER—On what ground ?
Mrs. Chancellor replied, on the ground that the pri-
soner was nearly the sole support of his widowed
mother ; and because his father had been killed on the
railway.
The REcoapEn in an appropriate address, sentenced
the prisoner to twelve months' hard labour in the House
of Correction, and to be once publicly whipped—" Tu
show," said the Learned Recorder, " the sort of person
you are. That is the end of the notoriety which you
have sought—contempt and ridicule ! The contempt
and ridicule of your neighbours ; for you will be pub-
licly, disgracefully, flogged like a felon."
The p7isoner was removed shedding repentant tears.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Michael During, described on the charge sheet as e
prihter, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with
rubbing his furnished lodgings.
Mary Ellen Langlois stated that she resided with her
mother, at No. 25, Cumberland-street. The prisoner
and a female, who passed as his wife, occupied a fur-
nished room in their house. On Saturday night last
witness missed a dress from an adjoining room to that
occupied by the prisoner, and having her suspicions
hat he had taken it, she gave him into custody. Whilst
the prisoner and the female were at the station, com
plaiaant's mother entered the prisoner's room, and.
found the bed shipped of every article of covering.
Subsequently the prisoner returned from the station.
hen on being taxed with the robbery, he immediately
admitted it, and said it they would forgive him he,
~oulti restore all the property. She made no reply to
has request, but gave him into custody.
Police-constable 149 E, said he took the prisoner into.
custody about ten o'clock on Saturday night. Ot
.catching the room he occupied in complainant's house,
he found a number ot duplicates, relating to Tali( us
articles of be.i clothing pledged at different pawnbrok• rs.
some in the name ot the prisoner, and others in the
name of the fi male whom he was living with.
The prisoner, who did not neny the charge, was
remanded.

IN RE HANNAH BARER.

The insolvent applied tor her discharge from prison.
She was in custody for 321 ; and the costs, in consequence
of a plea of " infancy," which was a false plea, were 441.
The excuse was that no instructions had been given for
the plea, but a friend had interfered, and an attorney
had pleaded.
Mr. Commissioner FAN held the insolvent liable for
the act of the attorney, and decreed her to an imprison-
ment of three months. Such outrages must not be com-
mitted and the parties expect to escape punishment. He
regretted that his power did not extend to punishing the
attorney who pleaded false pleas; but he would suggest
as a remedy that an attorney who pleaded a false plea,
without having a document signed by his client that he
was so to plead, should be struck off the rolls, and he
had no doubt they would not hear of so many vexatious
defences.
The insolvent was remanded to prison.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
William Sheen, 49, described as a wheelwright, was
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Mary
Ann Sullivan, with intent to do her grievous bodily
harm.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk prosecuted this case for
the Treasury. The prisoner was defended by Mr.
Payne.
This prisoner has obtained a dreadful notoriety from
the circumstance of his having, nearly twenty years
ago, his own child by severing the head from
that
its body; but upon occasion he escaped from all
punishment, owing to a flaw L.. the indictment. Since
that period the unhappy man appears 1,%:: have pursued a
completely reckless career, and lao has ie!' riTe3t'dl3;
in custody upon ehafgei of violence and outrage,, btii
has hitherto escaped without any material punishment.
In the present ease he was charged with having, in a fit
of drunken passion, thrust a knife into the arm of a wo-
inan; but sne did not appear to give evidence against
him. The fact, however, was proved by another witness
named Jackson, who also stated that both the parties
were drunk and very violent when the occurrence hap-
pened.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggravated
assault, and he was sentenced to be kept to hard labour
for twelve caleruhr months.
In the course of the day, the grand jury came into
Court, and the foreman said that, having concluded their
labours, he was requested by his brother jurymen to call
the attention of the Court to the great want of proper
accommodation for the witnesses attending to give evi-
&nue, in the hope that some measures would be taken
$ ,
reolt-, dy the it,eonvenience.
Thi is a subject that has been repeatedly b.:c.:4lA to
the 4 tiontion of the judges siting in this Court. and to
Ow City authorities, by the grand jury, . but hitherto
without any effect. It is, however, high time that some
Temedy should be aftbrded. fbr, under the pregentnys-

IN RE HANNAH BAKER.

The insolvent applied tor her discharge from prison.
She was in custody fur 32/ ; and the costs, inconsequence
,if plea of " infancy," which was a false plea, were 441.
The excuse was that no instructions had been given for
the plea, but a friend had interfered, and an attorney
had pleaded.
Mr. Commissioner FANE held the insolvent liable for
the act of the attorney, and &creed her to an imprison-
m nt of three months. Such outrages must not be com-
mitted and the parties expect to escape punishment: He
regretted that his power did not extend to punishing the
attorney who pleaded false pleas; but he would suggest
as a remedy that an attoney who pleaded a false plea,
without having a document signed by his cl►ent that he

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The longest, most brilliant, and most successful season
ever recorded in the annals of her Majesty's Theatre,
closed on Saturday. The opera was La Sonnambula,
with Jenny L'nd as Amina and Gardoni as Elvino—the
Amina and the Elvino par excellence of the stage. At
the conclusion Jenny Lind was called on, we will not
say how often. Since we have seen the furore which
Jenny Lind's performance of this character has inva-
riably excited, we have ceased to consider as fabul-
ous the accounts we have read of the " doings" of
Italian audiences in the way of calling on and
bouquet-throwing ; although until the advent of
Jenny Lind, we were not inclined to give implicit belief
to the stories of artistes, who were called on twenty times
in the course of a night. The Pas des Vases was re-
peated for the last time, and the Deeses smiled their
adieux to their respective worshippers until next season.
There was a general call for Mr. Lumley at the conclu-
sion of the opera. Mr. Lumley. however, did not make
his appearance, a circumstance we regret, for we could
have ,Aished him to have received those plaudits which
are so justly his due, for his courage in facing, and his
skill in overcoming difficulties before which any ordinary
man would have shrunk, but a hick he turned into a
tni aus of achieving a more brilliant triumph th in had
been achieved by any of his predecessors. We had in-
tended to have given a review of the season ; want of
space, however, c. ot IA us to defer it until to-morrow.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

in- :Sheen, 49, described as a wheelwright,- was
charged with feloniously cutting and "Wounding Mary
Ann Sullivan, with intent tu_ do her grievous bodily
harm.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk prosecuted this case for
the Treasury. The prisoner was defended by Mr.
I)2).yn.
This prisonerlas obtained a dreadful notoriety from
the circumstance of his having, nearly twenty years
ago, murdered his own child by severing the head from
its body; but upon that occasion he escaped from all
punishment, owing to a flaw in the indictment. Since
that period the unhappy man appears to have pursued a
completely reckless career, and Me has been repeatedly
in custody upon charges of violence and outrage, but
has hitherto escaped without any material punishment.
In the present case he was charged with having, in a fit
of drunken passion, thrust a knife into the arm of a wo-
man; but she did not appear to give evidence against
him. The feet, however, was proved by another witness
named Jackson, who also stated that both the parties
were drunk and very violent when the occurrence nap-
pened. _

The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggravated
assault, and he was sentenced to be kept to hard labour
for twelve calendar months.
In the course of the day, the-grand jury came into
Court, and the foreman said that, having concluded their
labours, he was requested by his brother jurymen to cell
the attention of the Court to the great want of proper
accommodation for the witnesses attending to give evi-
dence, in the hope that some reeaatzTee would be.. taken
to Tbi
inconvenience.

ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

La Patria, of New Orleans, says that IL Cox has been
appointed interpreter to General Scott, and has proceeded to
Mexico.

(From the New Orleans Commercial Times, Jan. 11.)

The officers of• the British fleet at Saerfficios had heard
from the city of Mexico that the finance committee in the
Mexican Congress had reported that, in order to carry on
the war, the Government would require 250,000 dolls. per
month, and stated that the sum of 90,000 dolls. was all that
could possibly be raised, which sum they depended upon the
Church for.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Advices a few days later from the Gulf squadron were
received at New Orleans on the 11th instant, by the arriral
of the barque John Barnes. The dates by her from Anton
Lizardo are up to the 31st ult.
The John Adams was still blockading Vera Cruz, while
the rest of the squadron were to leeward on a cruise. The
only vessels at Anton Lizardo when the John Barnes sailed,
where the frigate Raritan, the store ship Relief, and the
steamer Petrita.

The health of the officers and crews was generally very
good, there being but few on the sick list. There is very
little news of importance.
(From the New Orleans Papers, Jan. 11.)
We learn that the following ships have recently been
chartered by Government to transport troops and stores to
Mexico, viz., Ondiaka, Alhambra, Russell Glover, Sharor,
Statesman, Archelaus, Medford, Oregon, and Oxnard. They
are all first .class vessels—amongst the finest in port.
The steam-ship Massachusetts, which left here on Monday
evening last, with troops and provisions for the Brzoos,
