DINSDALE SPA.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
This being* the season when invalids and others repair to
the watering--places, whether in search of amusement, or to
renovate health, it may be rendering a service to the unini-
tiated to state, that the Dinsdale Hotel—so beautifully situate,
near the celebrated Dinsdale Spa—never was in a more
attractive state, as to the management, than it is at the present
moment. In every department the arrangements are alike'
judicious and excellent. In the public room, especially, one
is strongly reminded of the best days of Harrogate—the din-
ners being served up in a style of peculiar neatness, and with
that copiousness of supply withal, which cannot fail to give
very general satisfaction. Indeed, the whole economy of the
establishment is highly deserving of praise, and forcibly
brings to recollection the well-known lines inscribed in the
Album of a far-famed Inn in Switzerland

" Dans cette 'liaison vous trouveiez,
Tout ce que vous pouvez souhaiter."

The Emperor of Austria intends shortly to visit
Milan, to receive the congratulations of his Italian subjects,
and to be crowned with the Iron Crown of the Lombards. A
deputation from the Italian provinces lately arrived at Vienna,
when- Count Ottolina, the spokesman, cxpressed..a hope that
his Imperial Majesty would continue to pursue the same line
of policy with respect to Italy as that pursued by the late
Emperor his father.
SURREY THEATRE.—The evening's entertain-
ments at this Theatre were principally adapted to give effect
to the_ first appearance of Madame Vestris on this side of the
Water, and consequently included those pieces the principal
characters of which Madame has made peculiarly her own
within the limits of her jurisdiction. The Loan of a Lover
followed the last new drama which has been performed here of
the King and his Crony, Maclaine Vestris personating the part
of Gertrude, in which she was most suceessfnl, for. it was the
means of adding to the number of her -admirers. The cha-
racter of Peter,.spgit was sustained by Mr. Smith. Miss An-
derson (late Miss Bartolozzi) performed Ernestine very cre-
ditably, although the songs introduced in this character would
have been more effective had they been sung in tune. The
farcical entertainment called Tob Late for Dinner, followed.
The house was crowded in every part, and the evening's en-
t.,n-taiements passed off with the utmost eclat.
INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS.—A meet-
ing of this new and interesting Association was held at its
rooms, King-street, Covent-garden, on. Monday evening, P.
F. Robinson, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. The Se-
cretary reported that it had been resolved by the Council to
invest the sum of 750 guineas, contributed by Sir John 'Saano
in his own name and that of his grandson, as a fund to be
called the Soattcan Fund, the interest to be annually applied
to a medal to be called the Soarean Medal, for the best con-
tribution or drawing on some subject connected with the ob-
jects of the Institute. Several interesting papers were read;
amongst others, a letter from Leo Von Kleuze, at Munich,
architect to the King of Bavaria, who was sent out with King
Otho in order to fit Athens for his rcsideuce, and which gave
some interesting details of his operations in• the restoration of
that illustrious city. It seems that two days after Otho had
attained his majority, he was engaged in the excavation of the
Temple of Victory with Wings,'in the ruins of which so many
monuments were found, as to lead him to believe that it might
be wholly restored to its former magnificence.

EXORBITANT FEES OF LOCAL COURTS.-00
Monday evening a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of
Greenwich was held at the Grey-coat School-room, E. G.
Barnard, Esq., M. P., for the Borough, in the chair, to con-
sider the returns of the fees of the Greenwich Court of Re-
qUests. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and com-
plained of the enormous fees demanded by the Court. Mr.
Griffiths, amid much applause, proposed a plan for a remedial
Act of Parliament to lessen the expenses, and a committee of
nine gentlemen, three for each of the parishes of Woolwich,
Greenwich, and Deptford, were appointed to take the plan into
consideration. After the customary ?ote of thanks, the meet-
ing separated.
A Northern Correspondent says, " We understand
that the projected new harbour at Redcar, Port William, is
.strenuously opposed both at Newcastle-upon-Tyne and,Stock-
ton, as well as other places on the Eastern coast, on account
of the passing toll which is attempted to be levied on all ships
that pass the port: Were the toll even as low as a penny per
ton, it would prove a most onerous tax on vessels employed in
the Northern coal trade, and which, in fact, could net be af-
forded in the present times."
Tile steam ship intended to sun between Inverness
and London was launched at Glasgow the 13th of last month.
She was built by Mr. Wood, and her engines constructed by
Mr. Robert Napier, the engineer who constructed those be-
longing to the Dundee and Perth steam ships. She is a splen-
did vessel of 520 tons burthen, and 230 horse power, with
accommodation for fifty passengers, and is expected to have as
much speed as the Dundee steam ships. She will commence
her trade next August.
Accounts from Madras to the 16th February have
been received. A consultation had been held at the office of
Messrs. Parry, Dares, and Co., to take into consideration the
feasibility of erecting a " breakwater" outside the surf. The
consultation -ended in a requisition to the Sheriff, requesting
him to convene a meeting on the folio wirig Wednesday, the
18th of Februaiy. Mr. J. W. Dare had been called to the
chair on the occasion, and was to address the Government for
the employment of the College Hall. The Government had
been accordingly petitioned, and had granted the request.
LIBEL.—An action for libel against the Manchester
Guardian was tried a few days ago in the Court of Commcn
Pleas. The defendants were driven to the necessity of entering
upon along, expensive investigation in London, with a view of
proving the truth of the statements on, which the action was
founded. They succeeded in this object, and a verdict in
their favour was the consequence. But owing to the plaintiff
being uncertificated bankrupt, a man without property,
the 'Manchester Guardian will in all probability be compelled
to pay costs amounting to 500/. at least. What a state of the
law is this, which mulcts a man for the conscientious discharge
of an useful public duty ! Surely, of. all the defects and vices
with which our law system abounds, none are more flagrastiv
unjust—none whose operation acts more adversely to the pub-
lic- interest, or inflicts a greater amount of individual wrong,
than the law of libel. • e

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS —The deaths amongst
the animals were 128 in the last year, and the number of reco-
veries only 148. This mortality is considered by Professor
Coleman, who has, perhaps. the best opportunity of judging on
the subject, to be owing to the want of ventilation of the
dens—a defect which it is the intention of the Council to rectify.
It is reported-that Miss Charlotte Micklethwaite,
second daughter of the late Lady Charlotte Micklethwaite,
and niece to the Earl of Stradbroke, is about to be united to
Mr. Astley, brother to Sir Jacob Astley, Bart., of Hill-Mor-
ton, Warwickshire.
Mr. Sydenham, of Putney, whose cards were out
for a cleuner last week, was obliged to defer it, in consequence
of the sudden indisposition of his mother. We regret to say
the illness of that lady has terminated fatally, as she died two
days since, much regretted by her circle of friends.
Mrs. Jameson, who has been resident for some time
past at Vienna, has, we understand, just ready for the press two
new volumee in continuation of her observations on the Art,
Literature, &c., of the Germans. These two additional vo-
lumes Will form a sequel to her Visits at Home and Abroad,
a second edition of which is on the eve of publication.
The remainder of the first regiment of the British
Auxiliary Legion, about 300 strong, went down the river yes-
terday in the City of Antwerp steamer for St. Sebastian. The
men had a fine appearance, and nearly one half of them were
old soldiers, although none of them above thirty-five. The
first rank of these men were of sufficient stature for flank com-
panies, and conducted themselves both at the depot and on
the embarkation in the best manner. Colonel Evans addressed
them in terms similar to those he used on the embarkation of
the first battalion. This address was received by the men
with loud cheers. They all displayed the very best spirit.
From Denmark we learn a piece of somewhat curious
mercantile inforMation, that the lime kiln recently established at
Ripen, in which chalk carried from England is burnt, has
succeeded very well.
REASONING OF TIIE ORANG-OUTANG.—The
orang-outang, uithout being taught, will do what a dog can-
not be taught to do, and, untaught, cannot think of doing—he
will untwist or unravel his chain or cord. If the dog is chained,
and the chain becomes in any way jammed between things
lying about, or twisted upon itself, the animal drags hard at
it, away from the point of entanglement, perhaps increasing
the evil—becomes alarmed—cries out, and never thinks of
slackening the chain, and returning back to see what the cause
of the inconvenience is. Not so the orang-outang : the mo-
ment such an accident occurs, he deliberately sets about puffing
matters to rights. He does not drag away from the point of
resistance—d-es rot insist on running forcibly counter, but in-
stantly slackens his chain, as a human being would do under
the like circumstances, and goes back to see what occasions
the obstruction. If the chain has got entangled with a box.
or any other article of furniture, he disengages it ; if it has
become twisted, be considers the matter, and untwists it.—

Mini Or.
A few days ago a•prisoner confined in Whitecross-
street gaol, for a debt of 25/., attempted to destroy himself by
cutting his throat with a razor, but was prevented from ac-
complishing his purpose by a fellow-prisoner, who entered the
sleeping ward at the moment. Mr. Wadd, the skilful and in-
defatio-able surgeon of the prison, immediately attended and
dressed the wound, which proved net to be very serious. The
unfortunate prisoner represented to Mr. Barrett, the Gover- -
nor, who visited him in the infirmary, that he had been .for-
merly a tradesman in Ireland, and had conducted an eipcn-
sive business, and been possessed of very considerable property,
but that commercial matters having taken a fatal turn, he was,
as it were, struck with sudden poverty ; that having a wife
and children, who are now destitute, he thought that if he was
no longer in existenee sympathy would be excited for their
wretched condition, ark' the purity of the motive would bo
accepted as an atoncm t for the iniquity of the act. He had
written two letters to his, sons, and one to his creditor, who
instantly sent to the prilu and left his discharge at the gate.
He had been subject to fits of dejection, and had upon a former
occasion attempted to destroy himself.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Irish Tithe Bill was brought in last night by
Lord Morpeth, and read a first time. It was laid on
the table amidst loud cheering. Sir R. Peel an-
nounced that he should not oppose the second reading
of the Bill. As the Bill comprehended some enact-
ments in the general policy of which. he concurred,
and others to which he felt a most decided objection
in point of principle, on the motion that the Speaker
do leave the Chair, for the purpose of the House
going into a Committee, he should move that it he an
instruction to the Committee to. divide - the Bill into
two, in order to enable himself, and those with whom
he acted, to reject altogether, if they could, that por-
tion of the measure from which they entirely
-agreed. Our readers will have anticipated the part
of the Bill of which he disapproves. He ticoncurs
in the policy of substituting, for tithes in
for the composition of tithes—the imposition
of a rent charge—but he disapproves of making
the rent charge perpetual, and he also disapproves of
the omitting in the Bill some provision for the conver-
sion or redemption of the rent charge on the land.
But his grand objection is to the appropriation of eccle-
siastical property to other than ecclesiastical purposes
immediately in connection with the interest of the
Established Church; and to the suppression of the
cure of souls in 808 parishes in Ireland. The Right
Hon. Baronet will not only not oppose the second
reading, but he will not, he says, trouble the House by
speaking on the occasion. The great debate is; there-
fore, to be on the motion for going into the Committee.
Lord John Russell, in answer to a question from Sir
Robert, replied that Lord Morpeth would move the
second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill on Monday next,
and in the course of the week he meant to propose that
the Report on the Corporation Bill be brought up. On
that occasion he anticipated considerable discussion, but
he did not think that the third reading would occupy much
time. Immediately after the third reading of the Cor-
poration Bill, his Noble Friend would propose that
the House should go into Committee on the Irish
Tithe Bill. His Lordship, with reference to appro-
priation, said_ he should be prepared to contend, that
without it no settlement of the tithe question would
prove beneficial to the Church of Ireland. The
Standard lays down the doctrine that without the
King's personal permission first obtained under the
sign manual, the Bill cannot be read a second time.
" A Bill surely(says our contemporary) cannot be suf-
fered to go to-a second reading without that proof of
the King's acquiescence which the law and the
constitution require, a declaration under the: sign
manual." And yet Sir Robert Peel does not intend
to oppose the second reading ! How is this ? The
Right Honourable Baronet might at once crush
the Bill—the Irish Church Robbery Bill, as it is
modestly termed .by our Contemporary—and he 'fails.
to take advantage of the opportunity ! Is this treachery?
It looks very like it, after he had been so seasonably
enlightened by the Standard. Ministers have a straight-
forward course to pursue in dealing with the revenues
of the Irish Church. The Commission has proved,
that the Protestants are a small fraction of the pOpu-
lation of Ireland, that many parishes do not contain
even a single Protestant. The question is not, which.
of the two religions, the Catholic or the Protestant,
is the best ; but whether the whole revenue of the.
Protestant Church shall be exclusively devoted to
the maintenance of Protestant clergymen, even in
cases where they have no duties to discharge.
Times and the Standard, and other Tory • papers,
not,, therefore, advance their cause one whit by
the abtise which, day after day, they lavish on tha.
religious doctrines and the discieline of the Cath
lies. It is not; surely, neccssr rr to demonstrate
to Protestant li.',u;lishincn that their religion is bet,'
ter than that of the Catholics, for they are already
persuaded of this : and the Catholics will not by such
means be-induced to relinquish their attachment to
their own religion. But- without a violation of every
principle of equal justice, we cannot compel our Ca-
tholic fellow-subjects not merely to pay for the c!„7.

There is an anecdote current, and it was published
b•. an evening centtmporary last night, respecting an
address of his Majesty to Sir Charles Grey, on occa-
sion of the worthy Baronet being sworn in Commissioner
to Canada. It is said that his Majesty, on Sir
Charles Grey rising ft om his knee, warned him fl!,fl inst
suffering Canada, through his means, to be " lost or
given away." The sentiment was that of a sound and
manly-hearted Briton. We trust there is no such fate
in store for Canada; but in all reverence and loyalty
to our Sortpe.4o, we are not sure that such extra-
official and irregular warnings arc the best or safest
*modes through which a King of England with respon-
sible advisers can communicate his commands to those
by whom they are to be executed.—Times.

In the early sitting of yesterday in the House of
Commons the County Coroners' Bill occupied the at-
tention of the-House, and occasioned in Committee an
interesting discussion as to whether the Coroner's Court
should he open, cr the contrary. The Committee even-
tually decided that the Court should be open, or rather
refused to leave it to the judgment of the Coroner, -as to
whether it should be so or not. According to the amend-
ment of Mr. Pouher the discretion is in future to
rest with the Coroner and Jury, and not with the Co-
roner alone. We confess- we are not disposed to quarrel
with the amendment. The mere declaration of its being
an. open Court would amount to little if that declaration
gave to every Coroner the power of clearing his Court
at his discretion—a power which, judging from expe-
rience, we may presume would not be unfrequently ex•
ercised. We admit that in many cases the Jury may
not be such competent judges as to the propriety of a
private investigation as the Coroner; but any occasional
inconvenience-or evil resulting from that would be as
nothing when compared with the advantages of their
having a voice in the matter. The Jury being united
with the Coroner when the discretion was exercised to
close the Court would give a confidence to the public
which they would not otherwise have, particularly in
case's where political feelings might be supposed to
mingle with the motives of the Coroner, or in any way
to influence his conduct in excluding the public from an
investigation in which they generally might be deeply
interested. It-is a gross mistake to compare a Coroner's
Inquest to the Grand Inquest of the county—or, in other
words, to a Grand-Jury room. They certainly are both
called Inquests, but in no other respect do they at all
assimilate. A Grand Jury has to inquire whether
there is a sufficiency of evidence to warrant them in
placing a man upon his trial who is charged with a
given offence. It may be reasonable enough that where
they refuseto send a man to trial, owing to insufficiency
of evidence, they should refrain from allowing the
public to become aware of any circumstances of mere
suspicion which might exist, and which, though in-
sufficient to warrant the finding of a true bill, might
yet be sufficient to destroy, and perhaps unjustly, his
reputation in the world. A Coroner's Inquest, on the
other hand, has only to ascertain whether or not a
crime has been committed at all. Here there is an
essential difference in the nature of the duties of
those Courts ; but the difference in principle is so
striking as to induce wonder that any one could pre-
tend to see a similarity between them. In the first
place, a Coroner is elected for life, and, once elected,
there is no hold on him afterwards except through the
medium of public opinion. The Grand Jury-, on the
contrary, are re-chosen, every Assizes, so that there
is little chance of perpetual error,
_while an injudi-
cious Coroner, might keep a whole district in a state
of excitement as long as he continued to exercise his
duties—i.e., far life. Why, then, give a power to one
lean which may be, as it too often has been, exercised
most mischievously ? We would put it to those who

opposed the amendment of Mr. Poulter to say, after,
fairly considering the question, whether, with the dis-
cretion vested in the Coroner and Jury, the Court,
when the discretion may be exercised to close it, will
not bear a far greater similarity to a Grand Jury than
it would do when closed by the Coroner against the
wishes of the Jury, _who would be at liberty, as soon
as the doors were opened, to publish everything that
took place ? Even if the Coroner's Court were to be
declared an open Court, without any discretion to
either Coroner or Jury to close it, although instances
of inconvenience, and, perhaps, occasionally of a de-
feat, of justice. might occur, yet the evils of a close
Court appear to be so obvious that, upon the balance,
we cannot help thinking that the former would be pre-
ferable to the latter.—Morning Herald.

In the House of Commons last night the Irish
Tithe Bill was brought up by Lord Morpeth, and
read a first time ; but on the motion that it be read a
second time, Sir R. Peel took the opportunity of
stating his objections to certain parts of the Bill. He
agreed in the policy of securing the collection of tithe
by the substitution of a rent charge on the land, but
broadly declared his hostility to that part which appro-
priates the surplus revenue of the Church to the edu-
cation of the people.' He• stated his intention of
moving, as an instruction to the Committee, that the
Bill be divided into two parts,' in order, as he con-
fessed, to enable him, and those who agreed with him,
more effectually to reject those portions of the Bill
from which he dissented. Sir Robert could assent
to the proposition of converting the tithe composi-
tion into a rent charge, because such arrangement
would more safely guarantee their annuities to the
idle and pampered Clergy ; but he has " an especial
objection to the wholesale sweeping away of spiritual
charges in Iceland I" The spiritual charges which
Sir Robert is so anxious to preserve are the incum-
bents without parishioners—the profligate parsons and
their misapplied revenues. Lord John Russell in-
timated that the day after the Corporation Bill would
have been read a third time, Lord Morpeth would
propose going into Committee on the Irish Church
Bill. Mr. Shaw's remarks were in his usual style,
making assertion serve for argument. One sentence,
however, deserves consideratidn, when he said, " But
truth was, it was not because the Church was in-
efficient, but because it had been too efficient: Not
because it had done too little, but because it had
done too much." Rathcormac to wit I No doubt,
if the Established Church had not done too much in
the persecution, and too little in the instruction, of
the people, the ascendant religion would now reckon
more than one-tenth of the population as its members.
Sir Robert Peel acknowledged that his object in
proposing to divide the Bill was to escape the odium
of rejecting it altogether. In this admission he evinced
a frankness at variance with his habitual guile ; but
we trust the Ministry will have sufficient judgment and
decision to spurn'the proposition, and to adhere to the
Bill as it already stands. Let them remember that it
was the resolution to appropriate the surplus funds of
the Church to purposes of general instruction which
hurled the Tories from office ; and if, as on a former
occasion, they renounce the instrument of their eleva-
tion, it may be long before another opportunity be
given them to violate the public confidence But we
have no apprehension as to the result. We place great
reliance on the present Cabinet, and even if we did not,
there is another source of confidence which will not
disappoint uc—we mean the enlightened and liberal
Spirit which influences .the great majority of our fellow-
eaun tremen.—Morning Advertiser.

We give a copy elsewhere of the Bill brought in by
.Mr. Hume for the permission of music and dancing
in public-houses. It is purely and simply an Act of
repeal—not conferring any right or title to have music:
and dancing, but abrogating in every respect the power
at present enjoyed by the-Magistrates of granting or
withholding such licences. It recites the clauses of
the 25th and 28th George IL, entitled " An Act for
preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for better regu
Eating Places of Public Entertainment," Sec., which
clauses declare. that all houses, rooms, gardens, or
ether elecea b.ept for public dancing or entertainment,
within Lemlen and Westminster, or twenty miles
thereof, shall be deemed a disorderly house or place,
unless licensed under the hands and seals of five or
more Justices of the Peace, Sec. ; and the Bill enacts
that the said recited provision shall be and the same ie
hereby repealed. - The effect of the Bill will, there-
fore, be to leave it to the option of every one to have,
music in his houSe, as he may think
proper—there being no law, after its passing into an
Act, for punishing any one who may choose to recreate
his customers with such amusements. It would, per-
haps, be well for some time to come were Legislators
to confine themselves, in a similar manner, to the mere
work of demolition, instead of attempting to engraft
new laws upon old statutes, which have long been
felt to be a grievance.—Morning Advertiser. -
Our readers will find in our report of the Parlia-
mentary proceedings of last nit ht a statement by Sir
Robert Peel of the course which it is his intention to
ptirsue in reference to the Irish Tithe Bill. A more
judicious line of conduct, in our view of the case, it
would be impossible to adopt. Sir Robert Peel, on
this, as on every other occasion, will give effect to all
Of good that is to be found in the measures of his op-
ponents, and select for opposition-that part only which
is obnoxiOus in the principle upon which it proceeds,
and ruinous in the consequences which it would draw
down. But to pursue this course in reference to the
Measures proposed by the present Government is a
task of no small difficulty. In the composition of their
measures there is so much of evil woven up with so
little good—so many schemes for effecting party pur-
poses under the guise of legislating for the general be-
nefit—so many clap-traps to catch ephemeral popularity,
with so few provisions to ensure permanent advantage,
that a statesman who attempts to adopt any portion of
the enactments proposed by such Ministers as the
present, undertakes a labour of incredible mag-
nitude in the task of selection. If Sir Robert
Peel were to follow the most simple course, and the
one easiest to himself, he would, under other circum-
stances, originate a measure, and propose it for the
adoption of -Parliament, and give an unqualified op-
position to that at present before the House. But
then comes the question, what are the wretched clergy
of Ireland to do in the meanwhile, if another Session
pass over, nothing having been accomplished to extri-
cate them from their present miserable position ? This
consideration it is, we have no doubt, and this alone,
which prevents Sir Robert Peel adopting the line we
have pointed out ; and in allowing this consideration
to have weight on the present occasion, we believe the
Right Hon. Baronet to exercise a sound discretion.
-The course ivhich- Sir IL Peel means to pursue is to
move, on the question of the Speaker's leaving the chair,
an instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill, and
to separate that part which goes to the appropriation
of ecclesiastical property to other than ecclesias-
tical purposes from that which goes to relieve the suf-
fering Clergy of Ireland. By this course those Mem-
bers of the House of Commons who might be led to
vote for the present measure, as one which, at all
events, will extricate the Clergy from their present hor-
•rible position, will be relieved from the necessity of
sanctioning a robbery of the Church, in order to pre-
vent the starvation of its Ministers ; a dilemma in
which we believe many honourable and conscientious
men were induced to prefer the former alternative from
seeing no other choice left to them by the Government.
The other points to which the Right Hon. Baronet
will confine his opposition are clearly stated in his
speech. The great battle, upon the result of which
the fate of the Irish Church depends, will probably
take place on Friday the 17th, or on Monday the 21st
inst. It is the bounden duty of every Conservative
and Christian Member of the House of Commons to
be in his place on that day.—Morning Post.

STATE OF TRADE.—The Leeds Mercury states
that at the Bradford wool market very little business had been
doing last week, and that prices were lower. There does not
appear to be much activity in the yarn market, for the report
of wool being lower induces the manufacturers to buy with
greater caution, fearing a decline in the price of yarn, but the
spinners are unwilling to yield to such fears. At Halifax, on
Saturday, trade was flat, and the prices of manufactured stuffs
were with difficulty maintained. At the Liverpool, York,
Wakefield, and Doncaster wool nfarkets prices remained sta.
tionary. tAt,the Rochdale flannel market, on Mcnday, low
flannels still continued to be dull ; the finest qualities were
worst to sell, lut strong greys for dyeing were in good re-
quest, and floor and scouring cloths very brisk.
