Government is expected to do a vast deal in the
way of legislative innovation, and yet the Ministerial
time is monopolised by the Opposition. A Parlia-
mentary session, like everything mundane, is only
temporary. " Hansard," like every printed volume,
has (annually) its finis. In the road of Reform, the
legislators come periodically to a halting place, just
as a traveller on any railway necessarily arrives
now and then at a terminus. There must be no
misapprehension in this particular. Whatever the

PLYMOUTH.

Her Majesty's frigate Amason, 26, Capt. James J.
Stopford, arrived at Plymouth yesterday. She left
Malta on the 14th, and Gibraltar on the 16th inst.
The fleet left Malta on the 13th. Her Majesty's ship
Queen, 110, Capt. Sir Henry J. Leeke, had been
ashore at Gibraltar in a heavy gale ; the extent of
damages was not known upon the departure of the
Amazon.

The Earl of Dundonald hoisted hi, flag, red at the

Plymouth Sound, on Wednesday, the 15th.

Ma. AUSTIN, Q.C.--A report has been generally
current that the eminent Parliamentary Counsel, Mr.
Austin, did not intend again to practice before Par-
liamentary Committees ; such a report is, we are

intend in future to practice before Election C )mmit
tees, but purposes to confine himself solely to private
business before Committees of the Houses of Parlia-

SUN,

prepared to give the application his most determined
opposition, for he was satisfied the permitting of sweeps
for money in horse racing was of the most pernicious
character, not only tending to the demoralisation of the
poorer classes, but productive of misery in its worst
shape; to such an extent had it arrived that children and
women spent all their earnings in what he contended
was gambling. It was absurd to say that these lotteries
and sweeps were not illegal: although he admitted there
was 'l3O express Act of Parliament upon the point, yet
the very tenor of the license granted to a publican was
that he should not permit gaming in his house.
Alderman COPELAND said there was no law stating
that these lotteries and sweeps for horse racing was
illegal, and he believed, as the law now stood, they were
perfectly legal, and it was unfair to deprive the applicant
of his license on such grounds. If it was an evil, which
he was not prepared to admit, why not at once attack
the larger houses at the West-end, where gaming and
speculation were carried out to an enormous extent?
Sir 1' LAURIE could assure the applicant that if the
case had been within his own ward, or at Msrylebone,
the licence should not be granted.
Mr. Wiro repeated his assurance that the sweeps
should be discontinued.
After a brief consultation amongst the Aldermen,
The LORD MAYOR said the Court would, in considera
tion of the assurance given by Mr. Wire, on the part of
the applicant, that all sweeps should bo discontinued,
allow the license to be renewed.

REVOLUTION IN CRACOW.
Under the date of Cracow, March 17, the Silesia
Gazette says,—" Our political prisoners are free.
About 9 this morning about 100,000 Polish citizen 6
assembled after learning the news from Vienna
They were joined by many of the native population,
and repaired to the residence c.f Count DEYM, de-
manding the liberation of the prisoners. Count
Datm begged for delay till he should get special
orders from Vienna. This would not do, and the
Count was obliged to drive with Marshal CASTIGLION
to the prison, and effect their desires. The people
also asked the removal of the customs line and
guard, the arming of the people, and of the burgher
militia."

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

----
Colley Cibbers' comedy of the Double Gallant was
revived at this theatre last evening. The cast was very
strong, including Mr. W. Farren as Sir Solomon Lud•
life, Mrs. Niabett as his lady, and Mr. Webster as
Atalt. It is a work of supererogation to criticise at this
time of day, the plot, construction, or dialogue of a play
so well known as the Double Gallant; we would, however,
suggest to the management whether the play would not
go" better if it were cut down into three acts. The
piece seemed to drag last .night the intervals between
the " good" things being too long. The ntise en scene was
"superb. The house was exceedingly well attended.

STOICS Pena.—The splendid mansion and park at
Stoke, near Slough, which belonged to a descendant of

'the Board of Trade. It was, a short time since, expected
it would be purchased for the Duchess of Kent as her

" These suspensions are just what the proprietors
of these shinplaster banks want. They can now buy
up their bills for 30, 40, and .50 cents on the dollar,
and when they get in a part or the whole of the issue,
go to the Comptroller, take up their securities, and
make a handsome sum by the operation. The Atlas
Bank, for instance, has a circulation of 178,205
dollars; these bills can be brought up at 50 per cent.,
requiring only 89,103 dollars to purchase the whole
issue, which, talon presentation to the Comptroller,
he delivers up the securities, and the financiers make
80,103 dollars--a very neat sum to swindle out of
the labouring classes."
Large orders are said to have been received for
shipment of cotton and flour from this country, but at
prices which will not admit of their execution at the

The flood of waters, which has caused such exten-

happily but few lives, comparatively, have been
sacrificed. Another terrific explosion 'has occurred on

The steamer A. ITT. Johnson, bound to Wheeling,
blew up near Ma3tsville, Kentucky, from some un-

that their recovery was considered doubtful. The
number of passengers on board the A. N. Johnson,
when the appalling• accident occurred, was 160.
Governor Pratt's annual Message to the Legislature
of Maryland, shows the state of the finances to be in
a good condition, leaving a charge on the Treasury
of only 83,421 dollars. The gross receipts during
the past year amounted to 1,300,000 dollars, and
during the ensuing year will probably be increased to
2,000,000 dollars., being an estimated surplus of
2,000,000 dollars over the annual expenses, accruing
arrearages on the interest of the State debt. The
debt is reduced for 9,000,000 dollars.

The Message .zon cludes with a disquisition on the
.Mexican war, and is adverse to the annexation of
territory.

Funds for the semi-annual payment of two per cent.
interest on the State bonds of Indiana had been pro-
vided. The arnount necessary for this payment was

state was not generally made available to the
Treasury until March in each year.
At a Whig meeting held at Richmond, Virginia, it

POitIIQX BICIIAMON.
There have been sales to some amount of sterling
bills to-day, and the demand is still good, but bills
are scarce. We slightly advance our quotations. In
francs we d• not hear of much doing, and the rates
remain without alteration. We quote—On London,

The money market has been in a very sensitive
state for the last month, and nothing is easier than
to increase the alarm. Two of the smaller journals
have published what are deemed ►ery incendiary
articles, one of which predicts the suspension of
specie payments. There is nothing probably further
from the truth ; the banks have never been in a more
sound and safe condition ; they have been drawing in
their loans for the last two months, until their line of
discounts is very much reduced.
The amount of bills the banks have out is compa-
ratively small, compared with the amount of specie '
they have on hand. Such articles may create a state
of alarm among the ignOrant, but among well-
informed men they can have no influence.

.LONDON, MONDAY. JANUARY 17, 184$.

ESPANTERO has not only returned to the Spanish
capital with the permission of the Government, but
he has been received with an enthusiasm that sur-
passes description. He is the hero—the idol—the
great man of his country. Citizens of all opinions
have emulated each other in demonstrations of joy at
his return to them from the land of his banishment.
Since the morning of his arrival (January 7th) at
Madrid, the Calle de la Montera, a long and spa-
cious thoroughfare, in which he has taken up his
temporary residence, has been choked with a dense
inultitude. Every one has striven to obtain a glimpse
of the illustrious warrior, and to afford him, by their
voices, a token of the affectionate admiration with
which he is regarded by all Spaniards. From day-
break until twilight the windows, the balconies, and
the very roof-tops in the neighbourhood have been
thronged by the populace. Thrice in the course
of the first morning were the doors of his
dwelling-house broken open by the people. " They
rushed to his presence," says one who has witnessed
this popular delirium—" they lifted him from the
ground—they fell at his feet—they embraced the
hem of his coat—and hundreds of them wept and
sobbed like children." Although we place no re-
liance whatever upon the permanence of a devotion so
vociferous, and which displays itself in acts of such
tumultuous extravagance, it is impossible to observe
this spectacle of excitement without experiencing emo-
:io.ns of a profound and respectful sympathy. Spain is
so pt rillously situated, both in a geoqraphical, a coin-
Inercia. I, and a dynastic sense, as to render a move-
ment like' this one of a very peculiar importance. The
inhabitants of the Peninsula have been so monstrously
deceived by their rulers, and so infamously cajoled by
the diplomatists of a crafty Cabinet, that the most
phlegmatic must forgive them when their aspirations
for national redemption impel them to these evi-
dences of love and reverence for the only statesman
who has enhanced his military glory by his legisla-
tive wisdom, who has given them security by his
conquests, and prosperity by his administration, and
who has, above all, acquired immortality for himself
:in the history of his native land, scarcely so much by
tile capacity of his genius as by the operation of his
brilliant and uncompromising patriotism.

There is something, therefore', in the welcome 1
OE Vied to ESPARTERO by his countryraen be-
yond
the mere ebullition of a long-pent rap-
ture ;
there is in it so much that is au°-
elated ,'wit' the hopes for the preservation of

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.)
THILIPSON V. GATLET.
The object of this suit was to compel trustees to
replace a fund of 4,0001., which the bill alleged they
had lost or mismanaged, and to have new trustees
appointed. The cause came before the Court in July
last, when an objection was taken to the bill, on the
ground that all the trustees were not made parties to
the suit. The objection was allowed and the bill
ordered to be amended, and the cause came before the
Court on the amended bill, and was argued at great
length on last Saturday.
His HONOUR delivered judgment this morning, and
directed an inquiry to ascertain the legal personal
representatives of the testator. The matter was ac-
cordingly referred to the Master.

MEXICO.

The British Nest India mail steamer Teviot,
which reached Cat Island harbour front Vera Cruz
on the 20th of December, has been the medium of
furnishing us with Mexican intelligence to the 13th
from the capital, and the 16th from Vera Cruz ; her
homeward news from this quarter is now anticipated
by the Hibernia.
General Pattison had reached the city of Mexico,
having left a garrison at Rio Frio, where a permanent
depot was to be made.
The Mexican Congress had a quorum on the Gth of
December, which was the lateet date from Queretaro.

The: Star sap, many deputies were still absent, and
six or eight others were expected to leave during the
week, notyvitlistanding the critical state of affairs in
which the republic is placed. The Government was
occupied with the regulation of the army. A decree
was about to be issued on the subject, contemplating
the number of the standing army at 20,000 men.

There was some design entertained of sending a
Mexican .commissioner to Washington, to solicit the
appintincent of commissioners, to meet at llavannah,
and arrange the terms of a treaty of peace. We are
not yet ptepared to say how authentic is this report.
By the courier from Queretaro, a communication
had been received from the Secretary of Legation,
Mr. Thornton, covering a protest from Lord Palmers-
ton, the l3ritish Minister of Foreign Affairs, against
the forcible levying of taxes against the English resi-
dents in Mexico for the purpose of supporting the
war. These levies were made six months since,
when the residents protested.

The ports of Mazatlan and Guaymas were in pos-
session of the American naval force.

♦ pantgraph in the Monitemr states that General
Paredes had had an interview with Father Jarauta,
the notorious guerilla chief, at Tulancingo, and that
they resolved upon ealling in the aid and intervention
of European powers in the affairs of Mexico. From
this it will appear that Paredes has not abandoned
his favourite project of placing a foreign prince on
the tbroue of Mexico. He is viewed with distrust by
all parties.
