ROYAL MARINES.

One sergeant and one private of the divisional
companies, and one corporal and 10 gunners of the
artillery companies, embarked on Saturday it' the
steam •tender Sprightly, Acting-Master Allen com-
manding, to join the Superb, 80, at Devonport, as
supernumeraries, for the disposal of the Commander-
in-Chief in the Mediterranean.

Private George 'Webb, 38th company, committed
suicide on Friday morning, by blowing his head to
pieces with his musket, while on sentry at the Drill-
battery, Gosport, about 4 A.M. Verdict," Temporary
Insanity."

Captain R. Wright (retired on full pay under the
late order in Council of the sth of February, 1650)
returned home in the Bulldog steam•sloop, having
been relieved in the command of the detachment on
board the Prince Regent, 90, by Captain C. 0.

SEAMEN'S BILL.

In reply to Mr. CARDWELL,
LABOUCLIERE said it was hi.; intention to more
the second reading of the Mercantile Marine Bill on
Thursday next. He could not fix a day for the second
reading of the Merchant Seamen's Bill.
OATEI OF ABJURATION BILL.

In reply to Sir R. H. INGLIS,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he intended, when the order
of the day for the Oath f Abjuration Bill WAS read this
evening, to move that it be fixed for the 4th of July.
MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES.
Colonel SIB CHORD wished to know when the
miscellaneous estimates would be taken.
Lird J. RUSSELL said the Government intended, on
Friday next, the 21st, to take the miscellaneous esti-
mates, and to proceed with supply or stamps on Monday.
COURT OF CHANCERY AND ADDRESSES TO
HER MAJESTY.
Lord JO [IN RUSSELL said that he meant to make
his statement relative to the Court of Chancery on the
4th of July; and he also wished to make another state-
ment, upon which ho should not at present found
any motion. It was in relation to an altera-
tion which he thought it was desirable should
be made in the orders of the House respect-
ing addresses to the Crown. There was this
difference between an address and a resolution, that
if the House carried a resolution which might
be in opposition to the spirit of the majority of
the House, it was possible for it to reverse that on
a subsequent occasion, but in the case of
addresses to her Majesty, it was generally the custom
for them to be carried up to her Majesty,
and it became necessary for the advisers of the Crown
to advise her Majesty on the course to be pursued. If
they advised her Majesty not to comply with the address,
there would be some fear lest this should lead to a breach
between the Crown and the House of Commons. He
thought it would be better if the orders of the House were
altered so as to assimilate all addresses to the address
which was moved to her Majesty on the occasion of the
speech from the Crown.

BILL-ADJOURNED DEBATE.

Mr. ANSTEY resumed the adjourned debate on the
second reading of this Bill. He said he objected to so
much of this Bill as related to the appointment of a
fourth Secretary of State. He must say, unless he re-

of the Government, used on the last occasion, he
(Mr. Anstey) should be obliged to give his vote
against
the second reading of the Bill and oppose it until its last
stage. The first two schedules in the Bill proposed to
give the powers therein enumerated, and which were at
present executed by the Lord-Lieutenant, to the Privy
Crscti,heooocounuounn:ltccdoraiil of Ireland alone. The second schedule

JUDGES OF ASSIZE BILL.

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL this Bill was

Several petitions were presented on the subject of Post-
office Sunday labour.
ACCOMMODATION OF THE HOUSE.

Lord BROUGHAM complained of the conduct of cer-
tain persons who refused to ebey the orders of the
House. It was clear that no Peer or Commoner bad any
right in the Peeresses gallery—(Loud laughter)—and
there was now a gentleman there who had no right
there, and he moved that the standing orders be enforced
by the ( fficers of that House.—(Loud laughter, particu•
larly in the galleries.) He did not move this discourteously,
because he had given ample notice to the gentleman that
if he did not leave that gallery he would have him turned
out.—(Loud and long continued laughter and great con-
fusion.)
Atter the lapse of a few minutes the gentleman
alluded to lac the gallery, accompanied by a party of

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Echo steamer
towed out to sea on Wednesday the Batavian ship
bound to Holland, with a valuable cargo of spices,
and the Gonomeda Sara Ceassina, that came into
harbour in a leaky state about a month back, was
obliged to discharge and come into dock in the yard.
The Echo also to wed out the Rolla, apprentice brig
tender to the Victory.
The 'William Hyde, barque, with timber for the
dockyard, came into harbour this morning.
Orders have come down from London !or the mili-
tary prison establishment to move over immediately
from Southsea Castle to the new prison at Forton.
One-half the officers and prisoners moved over to-day,
and the remainder will go to-morrow. The altera-
tions and strengthening of Southsea Castle will be
proceeded with ; we hear the costs are estimated at
2,0001.

The Devastation steam. sloop is being expedited fur
commission to take the next mails to the coast of
Africa.

The Griffon brigantine, Lieutenant Thurburn, ar-
rived at Spithead last night from Devonport, to be
paid otY and refitted as an instruction vessel for sea-
men apprentices on the Cork station. She was in-
spected this morning at Spithead by Captain Black-
wood for the Commander-in-Chief, and her crew
mustered. We cannot too highly praise the idea of
having an instruction and reception vessel for boys
willing to enter the navy at a station like Cork. The
excellence of the system is most apparent in the
training and seaman• like acquirements of the boys of
the Victory on board the Rolla, many of whom would
be taken on board seagoing ships in preference to
men.

The Bulldog steam-stoop, Commander A. C. Key,
will be paid off here on Saturday next.

NEW COURT.

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman FIRSTS.)
Boast STEALING.—James Simpson, aged 23, de,
scribed in the calendar as a draper, was indicted with
stealing, on the 26th of July last, a horse and cart, of the
value of 1(3., the property of John Francis. From the
statements of the prosecutor and other witnesses, it ap-
peared that on the 26th of July last the prisoner went
to the house of the prosecutor, in Hart-street, Bethnal_
green, and statA that he wanted a horse and chaise-cart
tor about two hours, for a person named Howell; the
prosecutor suit his man with the prisoner and the horse
and cart, they stopped at the house of a person named
Howell, the prisoner got out, and appearing to go into
the house, the prosecutor's man thought all was right,
and got out of the cart. The prisoner then drove off,
and was never heard of till he was taken into custody
last month for stealing ducks at Tottenham. It ap-
peared also that the prisoner ultimately sold the horse
and chaise to a persou at Luton, iu Bedfordshire, for ,
V. Is.

The jury convicted the prisoner.
The REconmErt, after Expressing a doubt as to whe-
ther he ought not to transport the prisoner for fifteen
years. sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and
hard labour in the House of Correction.
Shot tly after the prisoner had been sentenced a letter
was sent to the Recorder, calling upon him to have two
of the witnesses prosecuted, one for pet jury and the other
7.s a receiver of stolen goods. The R2corder, dinictel
the party who had brought the letter to be placed in the
witness box, and shortly afterwards a respectable-look-
ing female, vho had Lean one of the witnesses to the
prisoner's character, appeared in the box.
The RECORDER, add,essing her, said that if the COM-
munication che fa made to him was in the hope that
he would mitiga:c the set;t7tee, she was very much df -
ceived; and if any communication was made to bum from
the office t,f the Secretary of State, he should at once
tate that if the Court had made any mistake, it was in
not transporting the prisoner.
Joseph Hunter, 22, a respectable•looking young man,
described in the calendar as a law writer, pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 18
sovereigns, 3 half-sovereigns, 1 crown, 1 half-crown, 15

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 9.—The Handelsbiad an-
nounces that several persons in the employ of the
KING have been punished, by being suspended for
several months. These rigorous measures art said to
be the consequence of a strict system of order and
discipline which is henceforth to obtain in the royal
household. The project of law regarding the re-.
gency, which is to be submitted to a combined
sitting of the two Chambers on the 19th instant, ex-
cites much interest. It is reported that Prince
HENRY iS to be proposed to act the part of Regent
in the event of a reigning minority.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden
is expected on the 14th, at his castle of Fridericks-
borg, where he will spend some days on• his way to

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, since
Monday, having been on the increase, coastwise as well
as by land carriage and sample, the supply of that grain
on offer, this morning, was tolerably extensive, and of
full average quality. Owing to the thin attendance of
buyers, and the pressure of Foreign Grain and Flour, the
demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled
exceedingly heavy, at barely stationary prices. Nearly
20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to
hand this week. The demand was wholly in retail,
and, to effect large sales, is per quarter less
money must have been accepted by the impotters.
The supply of home-grown Barley was small, that of
foreign large. Moat kinds moved off slowly at last
week's currencies. Malt—the show cf which was good—
ruled dull in the extreme, at barely late rates. Nut less
than 47.280 quarters of foreign Oats have been im-
ported this week ; but the arrivals of English are small.
The Oat trade is as heavy, and prices gave way 6d. per
quarter. Beans, Poise, Indian Corn, and Flour were
offering at drooping currencies.

POLAND.

It will be remembered that it was stated some time
ago that the Emperor of Russia bad granted permis-
sion to the Polish refugees to return to their country.
The Voss Gazette of Berlin says that, from informa-
tion obtained from the Russian embassy at Paris, the
truth is that nothing is changed in existing conditions
respecting the refugees ; but that, nevertheless, the
moment is a favourable one for them to make indivi•
dual demands.

For the time of year, the supply of Beasts on tale in
to-day's mar!tet was very limited, and of but middling
quality. Although the dead markets were scantily sup-
plied, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at
prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday—the
highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 3s 4d
per 81bs. The numbers of Sheep were slightly on the
increase; yet the demand for that description of stock
was tolerably steady, and the quotations were fairly
supported. There was more inquiry for Lambs, the
supply of which was moderate; but we have no improve-
malt to notice in value, the extreme curreccy being 5s
8d per 81bs. Calves met a very dull sale, and in some
instances prices gave way 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, next to
nothing doing. Milch Cows sold heavily, at from 141 to
181 each,..including their small calf.

The C_Ambo. of Sat„:, of the German Parliament
of Erfurt was occupial. d.,n the 6d), in discussing the
standing orders. M. do Cirlowitz presented the re-
ports or the discussions ei the Council of Administra-
tion, and they were orthled to be sent to the Com-
mittee on thaConsti:utioe
,
The Prussian journals are principally occupied
with the affairs of Erfurt, and they put forth all sorts
of conjectures as to what can have led to the sudden
change in the policy of- the Prussian Cabinet—some
of them ascribe it to the elections of the 10th of
March in Paris. The German Gazette, organ of M.
H. de Gigern, and what is called the Gotha party,
has caused some s-nsation, by describing what has
taken place as "deplorable."
telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, dated yester-
day morning, says—" We learn from an authentic
source that the Cabinet has decided to make the
union of 26th May subordinate to the treaties of
1815, by renouncing all idea of the iniriative and
the independence of the restricted federal state in
questions affecting all Germany. In thus de-
priving the federal -state of its general character,
Red reducing its object to a mere secondary one, the
Pclir.•ian Government ~Ives the hand to Austria,
destroys the hopes of the unitary liberals, and puts
a pre:non:re end to the labours of the Parliament of
Erfurt.e—lt is not true, is was stated a short time
ago, that the Governiwint has ordered the calling .aut
of the first levy of the lanclwehr."
The.Ber/in State Gazette of the Bth contains the
copy of a treaty for the incorporation of the troops of
the grand duchy of Mecklenberg-Schwerin in the
P.re,aian army, and announces that a similar treaty
hes .een concluded between Prussia and.A.lecklenberg,
Strelitz.
Mr. 'Femme, who took rather an active part in the
proandings of the German Parliament of Frankfort,
was tried on the 7th by the Criminal Court of Mun-
ster, on the charge of high treason, for having ac-
companied the remnant of the Parliament to Stuttgart.
iie was acquitted by the jury. The verdict excited
great anthusiasin among the people.

ROUGH HOUSE.

Mr. HUME rose to ask the Noble Lord at the head
of the Government the question of which he had given
notice—w'nether the Government had considered, or is
willing to consider, the expediency of retaining the Vernon
collection of paintings in the National Gallery, and ac-
commodating the Royal Academy with rooms in Marlbo-

rough House? The House would recollect, he said,
that a Committee, which had reported upon the sub-
ject of the National Gallery, had recommended that that
building should be kept entirely for the exhibition of
pictures, and that the Royal Academy should be pro-
vided for in another manner.
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that the only question
was as to what could best be done at the present mo-
ment with respect to the Vernon collection, and it ap-
peared far more easy to the Government to make Marl-
borough House a place for the temporary reception of
these pictures than to fit it up for the exhibitions of the
Royal Academy.. • •

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The performance of I Puritani, which was to have
taken place at this theatre last evening, was postponed
in consequence of the indisposition of Signor Mario,
and Nor►na was substituted in its place.
Grisi was of course the Norma, and never
has even she herself surpassed her majestic
impersonation of the - character of the Druid
priestess of last evening. The conception
which she has formed of the character belongs to
the loftiest order of poetry. The blending of mys-
tic inspirations with the feelings and the frailties
of humanity is so touching at once, and so true,
that, as we contemplate the magnificent pic-
ture we are carried, in spite of ourselves,
into the past, and are made to realise a mode cf

life and of religion with which we have nothing in
common. Madame Vera acquitted herself extremely
well in Adalgisa, and Signor Tamberlik sustained
the repulsive character of Pollio very creditably.
The tremulousness of voice, however, of which we
have already spoken, has not departed, and proved
again on this occasion extremely injurious to
his otherwise meritorious performance. Herr Formes,
in Oroveso, waa truly great. It would be impos-
sible for the character to be more ably 'represented,
