PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL combined, we cannot
suppose that any laws, however exquisite, can be
a useful or even a safe substitute for parental
are. We have great doubts, therefore, whether
the scheme of educationAbeautiful as it looks in
some of its details, is what wise lawgivers should
•riact, or a wise public sanction.

By the arrival of her MAJESTY'S packet Crane
at Falmouth on Monday night from the West
(tidies, we have received advices from Barbadoes
co the 17th of February; from St. Lucia to the
18th ; from Dominica t:9 the 19th ; from Guada-
loupe to the 20th ; from Antigua and Montserrat
to the 22d ; from St. Kitt's to the 23d ; from
Tortola to the 24th; from St. Thomas to the 4th
of March; from Porto Rico to 'the sth ; and
prom Cape Hayti of the oth of March. At St.
Thomas the Crane took on board the Leeward
Island mails, which she received from the Flamer
steamer. She also brings 16,0001. sterling on
freight. The. most important news brought
by the Crane is contained in the sub-
joined article from the Royal Jamaica Ga-
zette, which we have perused with some
astonishment. Only such an announcement was
required to place full in the broad Hare of the
world's eye the moral turpitude of M. MIER&
Why, it was only last week that he declared in
the Chamber of Deputies that at no period du-
ring his administration did he regard as immi-
nent, or even as probable, a contest with Eng-
land. And yet he had mapped out his conquests,
Ind carefully selected the most convenient
]heatre for a war with Great Britain ! It is quite
.lear from the disclosures already made, that

IHIERS'S tortuous policy en the Eastern ques-

pion had for its sole object the kindling of a war
in Europe, and that nothing but the promptitude
with which Lord PALM2RSTON hurried on the
settling of the question prevented such a dread-
Ail calamity. M. THIERS hoped to spin out ne-
4otiations till his armaments were completed,
but here he was completely out-generalled by
the Noble Foreign Secretary. .M. Tr=Rs dis-
covered too late that before he would be ready
to fight there would be nothing to fight about,
tnd so quitted office. We now proceed to quote
he article from the Royal Gazette:—
By the arrival of her 111,jesty's brig Sappho, we are put in
~ossession of a circumstance which might have been of the
most appalling nature, at once shaving the duplicity and de-
,wit of the French Government towards Great Britain unefer
the administration of Ihiers. The information we have ob-
tained is to the following effect :—The .Sapplto Lad orders to
reconnoitre the several foreign ports on her way down to this
island. In accordance with such orders she call, din at Mar-
tinique, where, to the surprise of the officers of that vessel,
they perceived sixteen broad pendants, six of which were
Jouble-banked frigates, at anchor.
When the British Government was made acquainted with the
different armaments equipping by the French at Brest, and
other ports of France, a demand wag made through our Am-
bassador at Paris, for information as to their destination. '1 he
reply given was, that they were intended to be sent to demand
atisfactitm for the insults the French nation had suffered
from a Barbary State, and the other portion of the armament
was to proceed to reinforce the squadron acting against
Buenos Ayres. The. British Government was satisfied, but in
consequence of the hostile feeling of the Thiers Admi-
nistrations, hostilities were contemplated against England,
and the squadron which sailed to Buenos Ayres carried with
them instructions to the naval force there employed to return
to Martinique, and at the same time to expect a war with
England. One French vessel; partially dismantled, ap-
peared off Barbadces, supposed to have been sent to recon-
noitre the British islands, -but having teen observed by
Captain Leith, the senior officer, a steamer, with additional
force of artillery and marines, was sent out to ascertain who
she might be ; the Frenchman showed Spanish colours, and
was, consequently, supposed to be a slaver, but, on examina-
tion, proved to be a trench yes-el. The captain stated that,
from the information he had received, he supposed that war
had been long before declared between England and
France, which induced him to hoist Spanish colours. The
ruse de guerre was good. and had war ensued between the two
nations this powerful force, concentrated in the midst of our
West India isles, would, on the lately expected declaration e f
war, have at once pounced upon this and the other islands, and
have made us an easy prey. In our present unprotected
state resistance would hare been less than useless—our rit-

litia a mere nonentity—only a handful of regular troops,—
few, if any, vessels of war in harbour, the British standard
would soon have been surmounted by the tricolour of France.
our homes invaded, and ourselves unsuipectingly made pri-
soners of war.

The following paragraphs include the only
additional news of any interest in the Colonial
Journals

ST. KITT'S. —lt gives us great pleasure to observe the good
understanding which exists between the liberal Lieutenant-
Governor and the Legislature of this colony, and the com-
mendable spirit in which the latter, under a reformed consti-
tuency, have commenced the business of the rressent Session.
It speaks well, not only for the good sense of the parties, but
also for the prosperity of the country, when their Oifferences
of opinion on subjects of importance are fairly stated, and calmly
reasoned in an amicable spirit of mutual respect and concilia-
tion. No sensible man can object to this, and every virtuous
man, having at heart the interests of his country and his kind,
must rejoice at beholding

a bold coup de main, said to have been executed against a
powerful tribe by the commander of one of the camp, in the
province of Constantine. It is said that almost the whole of
the people of the ti ibe perished, and our troops returned with
numerous flocks.

We hive received today from
i Marseilles further informa-
tion respecting the revolt in the sllinclof Candia and the island
of Samos ; it 'seems that these two i.lands refuse to remain un-
der the dominion of the Porte, awl wish to be united to
Greece. At this moment this event throws into the back
ground even the interest excited by the affairs of Egypt.
Mehemet seems, according to the accounts of the ith of March,
to rely' on the success of his remonstrances, and at the same
date everybody at Constantinople was, in fact agreed on this
point, that it would be difficult to en!Orte the rigorous condi-
tions of the firman of the 14th of February, 'especially if the
European Powers should refuse the means of doing so.
We hear torn Malta that M. de Bohan Chabot, the succes-
sor of M. Coehelet, as French Consul in Egypt, a rived in that
is!and on the 9th of this month, and had proceeded on the 10th
to Alexandria.—Le Commerce.

CANTERBURY ELECTION COI-
' MITTEI?.-(THIS DAY.)

The Committee appointed to try ;he merits of the petition
complaining a the undue return of the Hon. P. S. Smythe
for the city of Car.terbury at the last election, met this morn-
ing at eleven o'clock. The Hon. R. Clive in the chair.

'lmmediately on the Cha:rman's taking the chair strangers
were ordered to be excluded.

Shortly afterwards the doors of the Committee-room were
again o-,,ened, and the Chairman announced that in conformity
with the Act of the second Victoria the Committee had come
to the usual resolutions with respect to costs, and with respect
to oiening statement of Counsel, in which, if cases of bribery
were opened, it would be incumbent on Counsel to state the
names of the parties bribed, and those offering such bribes.
Mr. AUSTIN (who with Mr. Cockburn appeared for the
petitioners) said that he had anticipated such resolutions on
the part of the Committ. e, as they were entirely in conformity
with the resolutions conic to by the Committees in the cases of
Ludlow and Cambridge, and by the St. Alban's Committee,
which was then sitting. Instead of opening the case, however,
he had to inform the Committee, that having looked with great
care at the charges contained in the petition, and having con-
sidered with great attention the evidence in support of
those charges which appeared in his brief, and acting
as he conceived in conformity with the interests of his
client, he thought he was exercising a, sound discretion
in advising his client not to proceed with the petition. Having
spoken to his Learned Friend on the other side, that Learned
Gentleman had agreed with him that the course he bad pursued
was the one most cons.stent with the interests of his client.
He had, therefore, now only to give them the weeab'e infor-
mation that he should not be obliged to detain them any longer,
as it was not his intention to proceed with the petition.— ( This
announcement of the Learned Gentleman was received with a
smile throughout the room. )
Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAM (who with Mr. Talbot, appeared
for the sitting Member) said that having been consulted by
his Learned Friend, he must admit that he had exercised a
souad discretion in pursuing the course whicla he had done.
On the part of Mr. Smythe, the sitting Member, he had to
express that gentleman's acknowledgments to his Learned
Friend, for the very candid and honourable course Which he
hal pursued on the present occasion, and his hope that the
Committee would come to the usual resolutions. For his own
part he should be exceedingly sorry if the Committee were to
come to any other than the usual resolutions on the present
occasion.

The Committee .room was then clearcd, and on the readmis-
sion of strangers,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had come
to the following Resolutions .
" That the Hon. G. P. S. Smythe is duly elected to serve in
Parbament, as a burgess for the City of Canterbury."
" That the petition against the return of the said Hon.
G. P. S. Smythe not frivolous nor vexatious, and that the
opposition to the said petition is not frivolous nor vexatious."
This sudden termination of the proceedings appeared to ex-
cite considerable surprise among all present.

ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COM-
MITTEE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

The Committee met at eleven o'clock, and immediately pro-
ceeded to consider the objection of Counsel as to the admi,si-
bility in Mr. Mackenzie's evidence of any statemer.t of what
passed in conversation between Lord Grimston and Dr.
Itrebster.

After a consultation of an hour and -three quarters, Counsel
were called in, when
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee decided that the
evidence as to what passed between Lord Grimston and Dr.
Webster might be received, but that it should be given by Lord
Crimston.

Mr. HILLYA RD said since last he had the honour of ap-
pearing before the Committee, he thought it his duty seriously
to consider, with his Learned Friend (Mr. Talbot), whether,
after the intimation which the Committee had made of the
view they had taken of the evidence, and the course of pro-
ceedingi that had taken place before it, they (Counsel) ought
to proceed with this investigation, and, as well as they (Coun •
sel) could collect from the past decisions of the Committee,
they considered it most probable that they would not, by pro-
tracting the investigation, establish the charges contained in
their petition. They had, therefore, as the Committee had
so entirely dissented from thej views taken by them, deter-
mined that they were not ustitied, either as regarded their
clients, or their duty to the Committee, zo proceed further.
Mr. AUSTIN said, that being the case, he would lay down his
arms. Ile was glad his Learned Friends had come to that de-
termination ; it was then for the Committee merely to come to
the usual resolutions.

-----
The room was then cleared, atid after an absence of about
ten minutes strangers were admitted, when
The CHAIRMAN declared that the Committee adjourned to
one o'clock to-morrow.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

The3e Sessions commenced this day before Mr. Sergeant
Adams and a Bench of Magistrates.
The Chaitman having addressed the Grand Jury, they re:
tired, and shortly afterwards returned with several bills.

The tri ils were chiefly of little interest.
Mary Willis, 25, was indicted for having feloniously stolen,
in February last, one silk hmdkerchie, from the shop of Ali.
Itavenor, pawnbroki r, Toilaill-street, \Veslminster.
It appeared that the prisoner had pledged a handkerchief with
the prosecutor about a fortnight previously to the offence; and
cn the day the offence was committed, she was passing by the
shop of the prosecutor, and observing a handkerchief hanging
at the door, which she thought was the one she had pledged,
she took it off the ral, and was attempting to make off with it
when she was pursu.‘d by the shopman, who overtook her, and
gave her into custody.
Two witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner a good
character for honesty ; in consequence of which the Jury, in
finding her guilty, recommended her to the merciful considera-
tion of the Court.

She was sentenced to six week's imp-isonment ; the last,
week solitary.

THE MAithETS.-(THIS DAY.)

'Mt arrivals of all kinds of Corn this wee' have been mode-
rate. Wheat dull at illomlay's prices. Barley, Beans, and
Peas unvaried. Oats firm in value, with a limited demand.

A West India Mail has arrived by the Crane; sailed from
St. Thomas, March 4, Cape Henri, March 9.
By the above conveyance we have received Jamaica papers
to the 6th March. We stated that in she account which took
place in Spanish Town (is Saturday night last, Messrs.
Hill and Derbyshire were constrained to proceed to the bar-
racks for the purpose of procuring the aid of the military,
this was not, however, with a view of quelling any riot which
then existed, because at that time all acts of vio-
lence had for the moment ceased. When these gentle-
men proceeded to the barracks, they found Quarter-master
Harper there ready to convey any request they had
t► make to Capt. Allen, the officer in command.
This last-named gentleman, shortly after made his appearance,
together with Lieutenant Murray. The officer of the day,
Mr. Hill, then informed Captain Allen that. it had become ne-
cessary for the Alagistrates to call upon him for the aid of the
military, in consequence of the mob havin beat off the police,
and seriously injured many of them. Teti file of men were
speech!), under arms: the midtary and the Magistrates then
proceeded to the scene of disturbance, and the matter
terminated. The result was that sundry warrants were issued
against the par'ies suspected, and several additional special
constables sworn in, and the peace of the town placed in the
keeping of the legal force. - -
It was supposed a short time back that the commercial eis-
tress was at its height. There is every appearance, however,
of this being still on the increase. We learn of daily failures
to a great extent, and rumours of many more. The intelli-
gence recently received from Carthagena is not calculated to
improve the state of things.
THE WEATHER.—The Liberal reports 'that a few showers
have fallen since the last notice, bu. the drought may still be
slid to continue.

The private letters received by her Majesty's ship Crocodile
from Santa Martha and CarthAgena represent those misguided
provinces, as well as the' interior ones of New Grenada, as
being still in a most disonlered and unsettled state.
By the arrival of the Breeze, from Turks Island, on Satur-
day last, we learn that a riot had taken place between the
Afiican and the black nat.vei at that place; but the quick in-
terference of the authorities irevcnted the loss of lives. The
ringleaders were captured and committed to prison.
Bermuda Royal Gazettes to the 26th ult. have been re-
ceived, which do not con' ain any intelligence.
A slaver with 280 slaves on board, was captured by her
Majesty's ship Cleopatra, while on her way from St. Thomas's
to Barbadoes and this iland.

We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 10th Ja-
nuary. The Gazette, of the Ist instant, was published on
four and a-ha!f sheets of piper; it contained, betides the usual
monthly sta'ements, the Uovernment Message to the House of
Representatives on the opt ning of the Session; also a variety
of notes of congratulation to the Government from civil and
military authorities on the convention with France, and on the
victory obtained over Lasalle.
The papers to-day present a list of nearly 200 merchant ves-
sels in the port of Buenos Ayres, and we hope that none of them
wi I have to go away in ballast.
Treasury Bills in circulation on the Ist inst., $4,385,600.

It also slates that the Government of her Britannic Majesty,
ever animated with a sincere spirit of friendship towards the
Republic, has lent its high, impartial, and goad offices in the
late disagreements with Fiance. So noble a proceeding is
worthy of the grat.tude of the Republic. The illustrious
Minister of Great Britain, John Henry Mandeville, Esq., has
acquired indelible titles to the esteem of the Argentines.
