Congratulatory addresses were agreed to by the inhabitants
of Portsmouth and Gosport ; but upon application being made
to the Queen for the purpose of learning when it would please
her gracious Majesty to receive the same, an answer was re-
turned by the Hon. Mr. Anson, stating that time would not
permit her Majesty to receive them personally. and that her
Majesty was therefore desirous they should be sent to her
through the Secretary of State.

THE VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO

PORTSMOUT

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EvEtstrta.—The first place in-
spected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert yesterday, who
was accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Augustus,
and Prince Leopold, (and not by the Duke of Wel-
lington, as was stated yesterday), was the block manu-
factory, where a ten-inch single block was taken in its rough
state and perfected in a few minutes, in his presence. The
next place visited was the anchor forge. where one of the arms
was put to the shank of an anchor weighing four and a half tons,
belonging to an 80. gun ship. This was effected in six minutes.
The royal party next saw the copper rolled, and copper nails
made, and afterwards went over the inside of the Prince Albert
no•A on the stocks. His Royal Highness was then shown the
other vessels that are being built. His Royal Highness re-
turned to the Admiral's house about six o'clock.
A slight mishap occurred to the Duke of Wellington while
on board the St. Vincent—a mishap which might have been.
attended with very serious consequences to the illustrious
General. His Grace, on going down the hatchway, missed his
footing, but fortunately recovered himself when he had fallen
but a couple of steps, sustaining only a trifling hurt on the knee.
The banquet last evening was of the most sumptuous de..
scription, and a portion of it was, it is right to st&te, composed
of numerous presents which had been made during the day by
the tradesmen of the town.

•
" TO THE QUEEN'S mew EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
" May it please your Majesty,—.

" We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Mayor,
Clergy, and Inhabitants of the ancient borough of Porrtsmouth, in
the county of Southampton, beg to be permitted to approach your
Majesty to express the satisfaction which we experience that your
Majesty should have been graciously pleased to honour this garrison
and arsenal with your august presence.
" In offering this our hearty welcome to your Majea•y on your
arrival among us, we hope we may be further allowed to assure
your Majesty of the deep interest we feel in your Majesty's happi-
ness and welfare, and of our affectionate attachment to your Royal
person. .

The illuminations were very general—almost every house,
in fact, in the mai❑ thoroughfare, from the Point to Land-
port, a distance of about a mile and a half, being lighted up.
Among the illuminations were numerous ingenious and elegant
devices in variegated oil lamps and transparencies. The rain
and wind that prevailed were a sad disappointment to a large
number of those who had taken immense pains to emulate
their neighbours in the splendour of their illuminations.
The Common-hard, which those acquainted with Ports-
mouth will recollect fads the harbour, presented to
the inhabitants of Gosport a very brilliant appearance,
At ren o'clock the ships in the harbour were illumi-
nated, under the orders of the Lords of the Admiralty. The
yards, mast-heads, rigging, and porti, were hung with white
and blue lights, the. Sr. Vincent having the extremely bril-
liant long lights invented by Captain Stevens, of the Royal
Marine Artillery. The effect was very grand, and her Nlajesty,
who viewed the illumination from the Admiral's house, ex-
pressed herself much pleased with it, particularly noticing the
splendid appearance of the long lights. Among the more
conspicuous of the illuminations were those at the Governor's
house, the Barracks, the Custom-house, the George Inn and
the Star and Garter, the latter of which has been known for
the last century as a naval house. The floating bridge was
also illuminated, and the effect, as the bridge moved to and fro,
was extremely novel and pleasing.
Added to the attractions of the evening was a variety of
fireworks let off from the Semaphore, different parts of the
town, and the shipping. From the latter a considerable num-
ber of rockets were fired off.

" Long may your Majesty continne to rule over a grateful and
loyal people, encouraging by your bright example all that is good
and virtuous, giving a healthy yet powerful impulse to the energy
and enterprise of this great country, maintaining in all their purity
our valued institutions in Church and State, and strengthening and
perfecting true religion. And when your Majesty shall be called
upon to exchange an earthly for a heavenly crown, may the sceptre
of these realms descend, with unsullied lustre, into the hands of
your children, and tl cir children, to the latest posterity.

THE HISTORY OF DUELLING.
Comprising
NARRATIVES of the MOST REMARKABLE PER-
SONAL ENCOUNTERS, from the EARLIEST PE-
RIOD down to the PRESENT TIMES.

Her Majesty retired at the usual hour (eleven o'clock) and
rose shortly before seven this morning.
Shortly after eight o'clock this morning, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Au-
gustus, and Prince Leopold, embarked at the Dockyard in
the Admiralty barge, and crossing over to Gosport, spent some
time in inspecting the victualling department.
Her Majesty held a levee at half-past nine o'clock, and re-
ceived various of the naval officers belonging to the vessels
lying in the harbour.
At a few minutes before ten o'clock three of the Royal car-
riages drove into the Dockyard, and her Majesty and the Royal
pity proceeded in them to the jetty, where the Black Eagle
was lying in readiness to proceed with the illustrious visitors to
the Queen, at Spithead.
Her Majesty embarked on board the Black Eagle precisely
at ten o'clock, a Royal salute of twenty-one guns being 'Aired
from the Admiral's ship, St. Vincent. As her Majesty stepped
into the steamer, the cheers of those who had been so fortunate,
as to obtain orders of admission into the Dock-yard, were most
enthusiastic.

cal—the cream of French and English memoirs."...Atherneum.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street,
Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty.

Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, the Duke of gaze Coburg and his two sons Prince
Augustus and Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wellington, Lord
Liverpool, Lord Haddington, Count Schoenberg, Captain
Zaitsch, Lady Portman, Hon. Mr. Anson, Hon. Sydney Her-
bert, Sir. George Cockburn, Sir Wm. Gage, Admiral :sir E.
Codrington, and the three Misses Codrington, Col. Buckley,
Col. Wylde, Sir Hercules Pakenham, Captain Codrington, and
nearly the whole of the distinguished dinner-guests at the
Admiralty House last evening.
Notwithstanding a thick drizzling rain fell at the time of
her Majesty's embarkation, the distinguished party remained
upon deck. Her Majesty occupied'a prominent seat upon deck,
and was greeted with repeated bursts of most enthusiastic
cheering from those who thronged the jetty and every available
space skirting the harbour. The scene was rendered peculiarly
interesting by the anxious care and solicitude with which the
" hero of a hundred fights," in a spirit of devoted loyalty and
attachment, protected his fair mistress from the inclemency of
the weather by holding an umbrella above her.
The splendid band of the Royal Marines struck up " Rule
Britannia," as the Black Eagle, which was commanded by
Commander Blowe, quitted the harbour for Spithead, and
royal salutes were fired from the platform and Fort Monck-
ton. Astern of the steamer was the Admiralty barge, with
the flag of the Lord High Admiral, Admiral Co trington's
barge, and other barges bearing various Admirals' flags or
having their pennants flying. '
Upon arriving off Spithead, the Royal party proceeded
round the Queen, 110, Formidable, 84, and Alfred, 50, and,
having fully viewed those fine vessels, the Black Eagle brought
to. They afterward!: went on board the Queen, and remained
in her upwards of an hour and a quarter.
Upon her Majesty approaching Spithead the sides of the
vessels were manned by the officers, and the yard-arms pre-
sented a gallant array of " hearts of oak." The Admiralty
ship Alfred fired a royal salute, and the royal standard was
struck in the Black Eagle and hoisted on boated the Queen.
Her Majesty and the illustrious party were received by Ad-
miral Sir Edward Owen and Captain Rich, with the other
officers, on hoard the Queen, and a splendid dejeuner a la
fourchette was laid out upon the tables in the state cabin.

The distinguished visitors remained to see this proceeding
carried out, when about a quarter to one o'clock the Royal
party returned to the jetty of the Dockyard, at which time
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence and a number of fashionables were
upon the King's stairs, and heartily greeted her Majesty.
The Royal visitors having entered three carriages, imme-
diately drove up to the Admiralty House, where her Majesty
and Prince Albert partook of a substantial luncheon.
Previous to her Majesty's return from Spithead, the Mayor
and Corporation of Portsmouth had arrived at the Dockyard in
thirteen carriages, to present addresses to the Queen and
Prince Albert. . _

At ten minutes to two o'clock, the four travelling carriages
(drawn

ty
of
Sir Edward Codrington's residence, and her Majesty and Prince
Albert having taken a condescending and kind (indeed perhaps
the proper term would be affectionate) leave of the Misses Cod-
rington and the Gallant Admiral, the royal cortege passed along
the grand drive out of the Dockyard gates.
Previous to this the troops of the garrison, under the
command of Major Swinbourne, and the marine guard of
honour, commanded by Captain Robert Ford, one of the
oldest captains in the service, were formed, at 12 o'clock,
at extended files, with an interval of four paces. The depot
of the 19th foot commenced at the Dockyard-gates, next to
which were stationed the 32d regiment and their recruits,
and, on their left, the recruits of the Royal Alarines in suc-
cession, along the Ordnance-wall to the Quay-gate. From
the Quay-gate to the High-street were stationed the recruits of
the 34th Regiment, and the 73d and 34th Regiments ; from
thence, along the High-street to the Landport-gate, where the
hand of the 34th was stationed, and continued to play various
favourite airs until her Maje,ty quitted Portsea.
The guard of honour, consisting of the light companies of
the 32d and 34th Regiments, and a company of the Royal
Marines, with the band and Queen's colour of the 32d Regi-
ment, under the command of Major Swinbourne, were sta-
tioned within the Dockyard from the Adm ral's house to the
yard-gatee ; and upon the Royal party quitting Sir Edward
Codrington's residence the military formed in rear of the car-
e'
rlaees, and followed them out of the gates, along the gun-
wharf, Lombard-street, thence up High-street and out of the
Landport-gates.
Immediately upon the illustrious visitors quitting the Admi-
ral's houie, the Royal standard was lowered, and the same ce-
remony was observed after her Majesty had passed through
Landport-gate and the triumphal arches on her road to Brighton.
The streets along which the Royal cortege passed were
densely crowded with spectators—even more densely than on
the previous day, and the tops and windows of the houses still
displayed a profusion of banners and union jacks. Her Ma-
jesty and his Royal Highness were greeted with the most en-
thusiastic cheering. They acknowledged the loyalty of the de-
voted inhabitants of Portsmouth by repeatedly bowing.
It may not be uninteresting to state that at the Royal Pa-
vilion at Brighton her Majesty expressed to Sir Edward Cod-
rinston a wi h that " some of her old shipmates" (alluding to
the seamen who, while her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent
ware staying at Norris Castle in 1831, were frequently en-
gaged
in the Royal barge) should be employed upon this oc-
casion.

of the Admiralty House, when the following loyal and dutiful
Address was presented to her
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" Most gracious Sovereign,
May it Prose your Majesty,—We, yonr Majesty's fttthful sub.

On getting afloat yesterday afternoon her Majesty inquired
if her wish had been carried out? Admiral Codrington
in-
for.ned her Majesty that the four men seated nearest to her
were " aid shipmates," upon which the Queen observed,
" Oh, yes, I now recognise their faces." Just before parting
with Sir Edward this afternoon, her Majesty handed him 251.,
desiring that it might be distributing amongst the crew of the
Royal barge.
Her Majesty also gave the same amount to be divided among
the rope-makers who escorted her into the town.
Her Majesty and his Royal highness Prince Albert ap-
peared to have experienced considerable gratification at the
visit, and remarked to Admiral Codringtin that they would
shortly pay Portsmouth another visit. They both appeared to
be in excellent spirits as they entered their carriage, and left
for Brighton.

LONDON
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 1842.

Mr. T. DTJNCOMBE perforMed a great public service
last night, by bringing under the notice of the House of
Commons, and the country, the great annual increase of
commitments and of crimes. For the sad, but interest.'
ing.„ particulars we must, for brevity sake, refer to the
Hon. Member's speech, adding, that it is most melan-
choly to see such it result of the great and increasing
attention which has of late years been paid to the sub-
ject of criminal jurisdiction.
Since BECCARIA. first published his celebrated work,.
now we believe about seventy years since, the means of,
repressing and preventing crimes_ by penal laws, has
much occupied the attention of philosophers and states-
men. Prisons and prison discipline have been completely,
reformed and remodelled several times, the sanguinary
severity of the law has been in general abated, but it,.
has been much more nicely adapted and proportioned, as
is supposed, to offences. New contrivances, such as the
silent system, and the solitary system, have been brought
into use; and a new preventive plan, in the shape of a
police, has been almost everywhere established or ex-
tended. The result of the investigations of philosophers,
and of the reforms of statesmen, is that great and grow-
ing increase of criminals which Mr. DUNCOMBE brought
under notice.

Such an increase of criminality, though greater in
England than in other countries, is common we believe
to Europe. It is not as Mr. DUNCOMBE said, the con-,
sequence of " want of education," for though education
is, as yet, but little diffused, it is more diffused than it
was 20, 30, or 50 years ago. From this general view of
the subject, we regard Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion for a
Committee " to inquire into the rules.; regulations, and
discipline of the several gaols and houses of correction in
England and Wales," &c., though well meant, as a very
" lame and impotent conclusion," from the startling facts
he has collected. No improvement in prison discipline,
no uniformity in gaol regulations, no abolition, nor reten-
tion, of corporal punishments, can arrest the great and
spreading plague.
Before new laws and new regulations be devised, it is
incumbent on the Legislature to institute a searching in-
vestigation, with all the helps which modern science can
supply, into the nature of crime, the motives for commit-
ting criminal actions, and the means by which the mo-
tives can be altered or extinguished. In this branch of
Government, as in others, men were compelled to act be-
fore they had acquired knowledge; and the principles em-
bodied in the first passion-born actions of our progenitors
we still continue to make the guides and precedents of
our conduct. TREY took vengeance for injuries, and on
their anti-Christian and immoral proceeding WE have
established and now maintain a long, dark array of criminal
enactments. The present results should make us pause,
and diligently overhaul the whole system of criminal
law, sparing not but closely examining its original and
deepest Foundations. It is a terrible- disgrace that le:.
gislators should go on bungling in a wrong direction,
year after year, always inflicting great and certain evil
on society, in anticipation of good, and always learning,
at the end of a few years, that their anticipations have
been completely falsified. If 'prentice lads were to
spoil one-tenth of the work (and that work the fine
fabric of human society, with all the cotnplex and inter-
woven hopes and fears of man) which legislation annu-
ally mutilates and destroys, they would be whipped as
incurable blunderers, unsafe to be trusted with the
meanest tasks. Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion was nega-
tived, for which, considering its inadequacy to the
object which ought to be aimed at, we profess no regret.
The debate, though it developed no large views, brought
many important subjects connected with prison disci-
pline, particularly the corporal punishment still employed
in prisons, under public notice. Government, according
to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who opposed the motion, is dili-
gently watching over the whole subject ; but if it con-
fine its attention to the details, merely with a view of
making prison discipline uniform, it will go on like igno-
rant and unimproveable apprentices, merely spoiling
good materials.

At a meeting of the agriculturists of Essex, at Col-
chester, on Saturday, resolutions were adopted, declaring
that the present Corn-laws have not given the agricul-
turists an undue protection, and that they are apprehen- ,
sive of great injury likely to result from the change.
A Mr. BAWTREE, who moved the resolution, said—
We must snake up our minds to endure a heavy sacrifice of
our interest, and be content to derive less profits than we have
hitherto done in our occupations. Iwni one of those who think
that, the protection to the farmers by the existing law has not
been greater than was due and proper-4 Cheers)—that we
have not, considering the state of agriculture, the improve..
merits which are daily making, and the expensive system on
which farming is now concluded, received more then a remune-
rating price. —( Cheers.) You are to have but Ms. or 58s.
under the new measure, I should like to know what the state of
the farmers is likely to be ?—( Hear.) We cannot expect to
have that profit that will enable us to uphold that character
and to support that station which farmers for many years have
beep privileged to hold.

out England ; but they acquiesce in the injury,
and make a sacrifice to keep in of an Ad-
ninistration which has dubbed itself the farmers'
friend. The poor agriculturists, instead of being fear-
less in the consciousness of rectitude, live in dread
it' the manufacturers and the Whig-Radicals. To
:scape from them they consent, though with much
grumbling, to Sir R. I'EEL's demands. •Now it becomes
a question of importance to all the talkers about vested
interests, what compensation is to be given to the farmers
and owners of that land which, now barely paying the
expense of cultivation, must be given up, on the Tory
theory, by Sir R. PEEL reducing the protection ? Are
hose men to. be offered up at the shrine of • their bre-
thren's welfare ? How pleasant for the oat growers
of Ireland, and the cultivators of the stony plains of
Bucks, to be sacrificed to the men of Lincoln fen by Si:
ROBERT, who throws them as it were to be devoured
by the Whig-Radicals. This important effect of his
scheme, inflicting that injury on a few farmers, which
he and the landlords have described as the consequence
of repealing the Corn-laws, and which is so well set
forth by the Essex farmers, was very clearly pointed out
to the House of Commons by Mr. VILLIERS, in his closing
Speech on Thursday evening.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

PubUr Opinton.

" IVho runs may read."

1 The treaty 0f,1842 for the suppression of the Slave
Trade forms the burden of the 'original columns of our
Paris Contemporaries. There is the same violence dis-
played against M. Guizot as was evinced immediately
after the discussion on the subject in the Chamber of
Deputies, and the evident, indeed avowed, object of the
writers, is to keep up such an excitement in the country
as shall compel M. Guizot either to retire' from office, or
ileclare in the Camber that he will not, under any cir-
cumstances, ratify the treaty ; for either of these results
would be a signal triumph for the Opposition.
The Courrier Francais and the Siecle have articles
en the proposed prorogation of the privilege of the Bank
of Rouen, but they amount to little more than a recom-
mendation to the Chamber to adopt such measures as
will at the same time secure to trade the facilities which
it is the professed object of banking establishments to
4-ive, and protect the public at large against the conse-
quences of speculation. There is, we believe, an almost
general desire in the press for the extension of thebank-
ing system in France ; but the recollection of the suf-
' i'ering caused by wild and unprincipled financial Ttems,
sased upon an unlimited and unguaranteed issue of paper-
money, is too fresh for the public not to demand protec-
tion against mere schemers.
The Quotidienne publishes the following extract of a
letter from M. Tamariz, the Secretary of Don Carlos,
with reference to the statement that intrigues are on
moot between the refugee Carlists and the Christinos. M.
Tamariz says--" Whatever may be the case, the King,
my august master, declares that he is an entire stranger
to them. His Majesty, being well convinced of the
,idelity and loyalty of his Generals, and certain that
they will never do anything to affect the legitimate
rights of his Majesty, which they have so valiantly and
faithfully defended, does not hesitate to declare false the
reports which have been propagated against them, with
the intention of ensnaring the Spanish refugees."
A Constantinople correspondent of the Augsburg
Ga-
:ette says that England has offered to pay to the Porte
the indemnity of 1,000,000 drachmas, demanded of
Greece by the Ottoman Government, on condition of
being allowed to subtract from that sum the remainder
of the amount due for the expenses of the British forces
in the late Syrian war. • The Porte is stated to have al-
ready pdid 20,0001 on account of 50,0001.,, which is the
:otal due to England. We do not credit the rumours
which we receive from the Porte through the German
papers. .

A sum of 30,000/. sterling was transmitted from Madrid
on the 19th ult. to London on account of the indemnity
bondholders.

The Madrid Corresponsal of the 21st states that the
Society of Weavers at Olot had given further proofs of
their anarchical and revolutionary disposition. Bareelone
and the entire province of Catalonia were in a state of
the utmost excitement, in consequence of reports of an
alliance between the Carlists and Christinos to cause a
revolution in Spain.

PARLIAMENTARY.
Lord Campbell brought under the notice of the Lords
last night three Bills for improving the Administration
Of Justice. By the first he constitutes the House of
Lords exclusively the last Court of Appeal for the
whole Empire, and places the Lord Chancellor at its
head. The second authorises the Sovereign to continue
the functions of the Court, though the Legislature be
prorogued ; the third Bill is to appoint oae of the. pre-
sent Vice-Chancellors to preside in Chancery, putting a
top to the anomaly of making the Chief Judge of that
Court a political officer, removable with every Adminis-
tration. The President of the House of Lords will be
the removable Judge who is a Member of the Cabinet.
The Noble Lord gave a short but luminous history of
the appellate jurisdiction, and explained that his plan
would put the country to no expense whatever.
The Lord Chancellor informed their Lordships that
the measure of last session for improving the Chancery
Court had answered remarkably well, and he is not for
further alteration. He believed that not one of his
Noble Friend's Bills would be found worthy of their
Lordship's support.
Lord Cottenham approved of the principle of the Bills,
but would oppose them till the recent experiment had
been fairly tried.
Lord Brougham, without giving any decided opinion
till he had read the Bills, seemed inclined to think un-
favourably of them. They were read a first time.
In the Commons, Mr. Stanfield's motion to choose the
Chairman of Committees on Private Bills from the se-
lected Members was agreed to.
In reply to Mr. Wallace, Sir R. Peel again repeated
his determination to bring forward no Government bu-
siness till the resolutions on the Corn-laws had been re-
ported.
In reply to Sir C. Napier, Sir R Peel stated that the
Emir Beschir had been deposed, and had arrived at
Constantinople. An officer, formerly in the Austrian
service, had been appointed to govern Lebanon. The
Gallant Officer was sorry to hear it.
In reply to Mr. Shiel, Sir Robert Peel stated that the
observation of the Earl of Aberdeen to M. Guizot was,
" that he had nothing to say of the occupation of
Algiers by the French then," not that "he had no objec-
tion to that occupation.

Mr. T. DuncomThe moved for a Committee to inquire
into Prison Discipline, and made an interesting and use-
ful speech. He ably exposed the cruelties that are in-
flicted on prisoners in the name of humanity.
Sir James Graham opposed the motion, on the ground
that at present the Government was engaged in a plan
of prison.discipline, that its regulations were adopted in
most of the gaols, and that the inspection was so com-
plete, and the reports so full, as to make inquiry by the
House unnecessary. Lord Mahon, Lord J. Russell, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr.
Wakley, took part in the debate, the two latter drawing
attention to the inequality of punishments, and to the
state of religious instruction in prisons. The motion
was in the end negatived. The Government, by re-
fusing to accede to it, adds to the heavy responsibility
which already rests on it.
Another discussion, which was based on a non-exist-
ing despatch, and ended in nothing, except the instruc-
tion it may afford the public, took place concerning the
Hill Coolies. Mr. Vernon Smith, as a peg to hang his
remarks on, moved for a copy of_ the instructions given
by the India Board to Lord Ellenborough on the subject,
and then blamed, at some length, the Order in Council
recently drawn up by Lord Stanley, to permit the im-
portation of Hill Coolies into the Mauritius.

Lord Stanley defended his Order, and pointed out the
unfairness of 'Mr. Smith in only quoting a part of the
despatches, and obtained plenty of cheers from the
Tories.

Mr. Hawes rather promised to expose the Noble
Lord's scheme than effected anything.
Mr. Hogg, from behind Lord Stanley, showed that
the Noble Lord had slighted the Board of Directors,
that his regulations would be wholly inoperative in
India, that the exportation of Hill Coolies would revive
a slave trade throughout India, and that the Noble Lord's
conduct was hasty, inconsiderate, and quite inconsistent
with the professions of his party, while he was in oppo-
sition. From a friend we never heard a Minister get
a severer chastisement than Mr. Hogg gave Lord Stan-
ley.. The motion ended in nothing, but to convict the
Government of weakness and folly in supposing that it
can, by paper regulations, arrest the flood of cupidity it
is willing to let loose in order to conciliate the monopo-
lists and jobbers to whom it is indebted for power.
