The noble _tvarl _jsrl gave notice that he " should draw the attention of lie hie house to the subject to-morrow . ' Th The Earl of _Clascartt then rose to move for the
_pppoippointment ofa select committee to inquire into hue nhe management of the medical charities in Ireland un an a speech of some length , reviewed the existing fctatetate of thc laws applicable to thc relief of the Lickick poor and the destitute in Ireland , and moved bbr _abr a committee to inquire into their operation . .. Tl The Duke of Welusgios assented ; and the moiioniou was agreed to . , wi „; Plord-T _) The committee was then appointed , and tneir : 1 : bip ; bips adjourned .

_PB _jjAL ENACTMENTS _i _v tf . « ov then moved for leave to bring in a _LL-iiL-ii r \ 1 _Z _Trtirthcr repeal of enactments imposing _& _Wi 3 S - ber Majesty ' s Roman _Cathopainains auu i t „ r ti _, elr religion . [ L s sSS Gb \ 7 sh said that a bill similar to that L _^ nir the hon . aud learned member had been ! _EETCS _?&^ ftta House of Lords by the Lord _Chancellor . It was , therefore , a subject fur the _confederation of thc hon . and learned member whether , unhnkr such circumstances , he would persevere in U sJr Robert Lvous remarked , that the speech of : _jjrsir James Graham , had proved too clearly tbat ; , re rerT fear which he had entertained was now realized 'iv _w the policv adopted by her Majesty ' s present g « - _ircrrcrnraent . ' iie therefore urged on Mr . Watson , and j m U other gentlemen who had similar schemes of _refornauatian to bring forward , ihe yropriety of considering i _vhivhether their object would not be more effectually
i uianswcrcd by leaving their projects in the hands I _» f _» f the present government . Mr . Watson ' s bill , he _iSKiatd , would eventually repeal the Act of Supreuauacv—which would enable Roman Catholic bishops to _ississume thc titles now belonging to the prelates ofthe stsfciblishcd church in England and in Ireland—which ivoivould legalise religious precessions , while political iroroccssious . wcrc prohibited—which would authorise ichc existence oftbe monastic orders in Great Uritaiu iuiud Ireland , and which would repeal that clause iu ththe Relief Bill which provided forthe expulsion of dbU Jesuits from the united kingdom . He concluded _ovoy repeatiug his opinion that those gentlemen who _ksfead schemes for a blessed reformation in church and ststate mi' _* ht relv with more confidence on Sir J . GGrahsmand Sir ' R . Peel as allies , than tbey could uppon Lord J . Russell or any other gentleman on the O Qp _^ _esttkn benches .
Sir James _Geauaij denied that the government had _aadopti-d Mr . Watson ' s bill , or tbat the Lord Chanocellor s measure contemplated the repeal of the Act otof Supremacy . Lord Jons Maxxers declared bis intention of suppportini : the present bill . _Mr- _^ O'CoxxEix supported the bill . They had no ppuuisliment for beiug an Atheist , or for being a Deist ; tthere was no law against expressing opinions of the xmost auti-Christian character ; but there was a law tto punish virtue ; they had a law to punish devotion tto God , and the exercise of the highest qualities of Ihumau nature . lie thanked the right hon . baronet (( Sir J . Graham ) for the course he had taken onthe j subject . Lord Jons Rvsseu . thought it was worthy of coti-« sideratioa whether or not tlie penalties might be re-] pealed , by which the establishment of monastic orders : is restricted , substituting registration and visitation for prohibition .
Leave was given to Mr . Watson to introduce the
bill . The Lord Advocate also obtained leave to introduce a bid to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise , and of exercising trades in burghs of Scotland . Mr . Stafford O'Bbiex moved the issue oftbe two writs for Dorsetshire , in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr . Sturt , which were ordered
_BONE-CRUSHLXG . Mr . Christie withdrew his motion for " copies el any papers or reports by Mr . Chadwick , secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners , by Mr . Parker , late _assistant commissioner , or by any other assistantcommissioner , on the subject of bone-crushing in union workhouses , " on thc suggestion of Sir J . Graham , that _though there was a memorandum by Mr . Chadwick on the subject , it was not signed with his name , but was a confidential communication from him , as a subordinate officer of tbe government , to his superiors , and that it would be contrary to usage and the interestsof the public service to publish such confidential communications . The house theu adjourned .
HOUSE OF LORDS—Fbedat , Feb . 6 . The Earl of Daihoossie moved tlie _adoption ot the sew resolutions respecting railways , and urged the great _Tjenefit which the public would derive from the adjustment oftbe amount of basinets between the two houses , as well as the great necessity of an earl y provision for emp loying the people of Ireland . Lord Moxteagie explained more fully the nature of the proposed alterations as affecting Irish railway _bills-, and commented very severely on the plan punned with xes . , ect to railway deposits for the present session . In his opinion it was impossible _*• conceive auyiliing more mischievous to the mercantile classes than tbe existing system . The mGtion was agreed to , and the house then _adjourtiffd .
HOUSE OF COMMO-VS-Fkidat , Feb . G . Public business was commenced by Lord G . SoMEasET _' s calling attention to the First Report ofthe Railway Bills Committee , of which he briefli stated the _substance . He said that great convenience _ivoaJd arise from permitting the House of Lords to orig inate railway bills , and that it would facilitate pubiie business very considerably if the Irish railway bills were referred at once to that house for examination . He'then moved the first resolution of the committee , which provides that during the present session the House ot Commons diall not insist upon Its privilege that no hill _imposing t « JU and penalties shall originate risen her * than in the _Houte of Commons .

LORD ASHLEY AND TUE TEN HOURS ' BILL . _MAxciiES-ren , Thursday . —Last night a meeting of thc Lancashire Central Short Time Committee was leld at thVir rooms , No . 3 , _Oldham-street , in this town . Mr . Paul Hargraves was in the chair . The meeting was summoned in _consequence ofthe resignation of L « rd Ashley . There were several members present from Bolton , Oldham , and other places . The Chairman read the following letter Irom the noble Lord to the committees of the manufacturing districts : — TO TUE CESTBAL EHOKT-T 1 KE COMMITTEE FO * LANCASHIRE , _TOt WHIRL , AND SCOTLAKD .
Gentlemen , —Ithas been my painful duty to resign the _representation of the couuty . of lionet . Uy address , copy of which I have trannuitted to you , will expbuu the reasons that have led me to this result . 1 deeply regret my retirement from the occupations and _pursuits ot public life ; baton no account du I se much regret it m th at I am therebj compelled to relinquish the eare uf that _measure , to _nhich jou are so ardtntly and so justly attached , for the limitation ofthe hours of labour . But you must not despair : th _« re will be faund other men to undertake this righteous cause ; aud , meanwhile , your true and excellent friend , Ur . Fielden , has _Te-Biilved to novctbe bill to a second reading . I exhort you to pmeven in the demand you have made ; aud , whatever inttrvalyou may accept by way ofpriliminary experiment , to abate Mottling at last of the Hiuiiatiuo to feu hours ; it it both just aud uecessarv ; and you ask n » more than that whicli every one opealv or secretly asstnts to .
In promising you my continued and undiminished efforts I may now , I fear , bepromiiing but little of value ; it is , however , all that I have power to off « r , and , % y God ' s _blessing , you _flutll Lave the besttb . it I can give . I _rejoice , sincerely and _thantlully rejoice , that my resignation , the last act of my public life , the last at least so far as I can see , has been to advauce a measure vthicb , if there be _justice or humanity remaining , must render tbe concession of the Ten Hours' Rill not ouly certain but immediate . Relieve me , gentlemen , r « _ar very _sineer * friend and servant , Loudon , F « b . 2 , l & iG . Asdlst .
An address to Lord Ashley , in reply to the above letter , was theu ( submitted to the committee and unanimously ado- _> ted . it was also resolved to send an _aJ & 'lreis to the electors of Dorset , requesting them to _KHltrct Lord Ashley .

J ? 0 _YQTE ! NO MUSKET . ' [ Continued from our Third Page- ] ou »» o xofflj _^ Xmeetinj On Monday last , 2 nd inst ., . » _lTnf _Glasgow _anrl ofthe « ne „ fr 4 nchised hJ * _g- & _£ 23 E ? _, £ _suburb was held m the CM Ah \ ttevo ol _^ Mr . _Jas . Clarkson inthe cha _^ Jag f _^ from Mr Moir-was _<™* _flttCent . Both gentlemen _SrtSSr 2 £ fi _Sfobjccts of the meeting . Mr . h _^ _eani ij concur _*^ _g _^ t resolution , as follows : — _lnatwe . vu 0 f Glasgow , in public meeting as-CI _^ decidedly _ofopinion , that , according to S _? 5 nowledged principles of the British constitution no person ought to be called upon to take
arms in defence ot laws , m tne making ot which he I lias no voice ; we therefore can view tlie present intention of thc Ministry to call out the militia regiments only as an act of the most flagrant injustice , while by far the greater number of those who , according to the existing class made laws , are liable toservo , are denied the rights and privileges of citizenship ; and as an aet of justice to ourselves and families , we thus publicly express our determination to resist , by every peaceful , legal , and constitutional means , any and every such attempt , until those rights and privilegesare conceded to us , which , according to the laws of nature , are our inalienable birthright . Mr . John Bryan seconded the resolution , which was all but unanimously carried . .
Mr . James Adams moved the second resolution : — " That we are firmly convinced that the same reasons which now exist for raising armed forces , for the protection of our country both from foreign aggression and disturbances arising out of internal discontent , which arcadishonestand selfish course of policy towards other nations , and a system oi unjust and partial legislation at home , will never cease , nor the principles * of peace be securely aud permanently established until , by the enactment of the People ' s Charter as thc law of these realm ? , thc whole male adult population shall be admitted within the pale of the British constitution , by which means the law of the nation will become a true reflex of the public mindand will . " Tbe resolution having been seconded , was carried .
Mr . A . B . Cummins moved , and Mr . S . Brown seconded the third resolution , which was carried : — " That we view what is commonly called " Militia Protection Societies " as being , in point of fact , only so many means subservient tothe protection and continuance of class despotism ; we are therefore determined not to shield ourselves from the operation of laws so obviously opposed to every princip le of reason , justice , and true constitutional freedom by any such method , which , at best , is but tbe substitution ot ' a hired for a forced order of military slaves . But in lieu thereof we _aaree to raise , by voluntary subscriptions , a fund for * the indemnification of those who may suffer loss by acting from conscientious motives , and that a committee of eighteen be now appointed for that purpose . "
A committee , of eighteen were then appointed . Mr . Duncan Sherrington moved the adoption ofa petition founded on , and in accordance with , the resolutions . Agreed to . Mr . Sherrington also moved— "That the petition be presented by Mr . Duncombe , M . P ., to the _Ilouse of Commons , and by the Duke of Wellington to the House of Lords ! " ( Great laughter and cheers . ) The " monster" meetiug , which consisted of at least 6000 men , then separated , after giving a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three cheers for the Charter , three for Thomas Duncombe , M . P _., and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones .
dumfmes . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Maxwell town , was held on Tuesday evening last , in the Market-place of that burgh , to receive the report of the committee appointed at thc Court House , by the anti-militia majority , whose triumph at the meeting held there was noticed in last week's Star . An unanimous and enthusiastic concourse of good men and true , numbering considerably upwards of a thousand , and constituting by far tbe largest meeting ever assembled in Maxwelltown , gathered together Mr . Samuel Henry was called to the chair . The secretary of the committee then read the report of that body . Thc petition from the meeting against tbe embodiment of the militia , tbe committee reported had been forwarded , signed by the chairman , to W . Ewart , Esq ., M . P ., for presentation ; and that gentleman has since intimated that he will present it on the first opportunity with pleasure . With
respect to tlie formation of an anti-militia society , the committee recommended their townsmen to refrain from joining any such association until tbe prospectus of the National _Promotion Society shall bave been published , when a meeting will be luM in Dumfries , under the auspices of the Working Men s Association , to form a branch , and petition Parlia ment against the threatened conscription . This report was unanimously adopted . The chairman then called upon Mr . Wardrop , who addressed the meeting at considerable length , and with much ability , on the subject under consideration . A petition similar in its object to the one sent from the Maxwelltown meeting , has been hawked abont Dumfries in a private sort of way for a couple of days back . It emanates most probably from the League faction , as the Whigs are extinct in this quarter . The few who have seen it , think there is not much amiss with it . The unwonted modesty that has led the Leaguers on this occasion to
" Bo good by strength and blush to fiad it fame , " must be attributed to tbe raps on the gnout the sneaking faction are always sure of , the instant it is poked before the public . The Dumfries and Maxwelltown Working Men ' s Association continues to thrive . More recruits have been enlisted by that body in the last two weeks than the six recruiting parties in town have entrapped for Queen Victoria in as many years . Measures have been taken to increase the efficiency of our Reading-room by the addition of a daily paper during the present session of Parliament .
NATIONAL _AXII-MTLlTtt ASSOCIATION . This body met at the Parthenium , 72 , St . Martin ' slane , on Wednesday evening , February 4 th ; Mr . Mime in the chair . Messrs . Hornby , Johnson , Hall , J . Sides , T . Sides , Garrett , Reynolds , Pike , Salmon , Dall , Knight , and Cuffay were added to the committee . Mr . O'Connor then re-stated the objects of the association , and the present state of the militia question ; he also stated his fixed conviction tobe tbat the militia would be embodied and called out , and the great necessity of firmnessand union amongst the people in opposition thereto ; and congratulated tbe meeting on tbe great demonstrations making throughout the country against the embodiment of
tbe militia force . He concluded by urging all to exertion , as all were liable in some shape , and then success must crown their efforts . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . T . M . Wheeler then submitted a code of rules . He had taken for its basis the census of 1841 , the last taken , and calculated that from thc numbers to be drawn , and the ratio of the population , a payment of five shillings per member would enable tbe association to give each member that might come under the bau of the law £ 10 , to renew his goods , or support his family , should he be sent to prison : — Natiohal _Anti-Militia Association , established tor the protection of those who have a conscientious objection to the sen-ice , and who will no t pay others to do that for them which they object to themselves .

J?0 Yqte! No Musket.' [Continued From Ou...
M . WN 0 HA 8 . The Testry having , in compliance with the _termi of a numerously signed requisition ofthe rate-payers of St . Pancras , unanimously granted the use ot ' tlu Veitry-rooms , 1 , Gordon-street , _Gordon-iquare , a _Mrge anden _. husiiwtfc public meeting was held there on Tuesday evening , February 3 rd . Mr . Alfred Pettit was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings by reading the p lacard by which the meeting was convened . Mr . J . Arnott moved the first resolution . He said the embodiment of the militia was a question in which all were deeply interested , as all men between the ages of eighteen and forty-fire wcre liable to be forced from their peaceful homes and occupations , to be decked out in the blood-stained habiliments of war . ( Hear hear . ) He asked , would they quietly submit to _iuch a piece of despotism ? ( No , uo . ) No ,
it would be far more honourable to march to the prison than to the barracks . ( Loud cheers . ) , He had much pleasure in moving the following _resolation : — "That in the opinion of _thismeuting , , the contemplated enrolment of the . militia force is sot only unnecessary , but that such a mode of providing for the defence of this country is unconstitutional and tyrannical , inasmuch as thereby the dearest ties of _natureare severed , the husband torn from tbe wife , the son from the parent—forcing the poor voteless outcast from home , relations , and friends ; causing his future prospects to be overthrown and blasted , compelling him to follow a course oi life highly repugnant to his feelings , and to which he has an unconquerable aversion—thJ meeting , therefore , resolves to petition the House of Commons not to sanction such a nefarious , heartless , nnd conscriptire system . "
Mr . Harris seconded tbe motion . Mr . T . M . Wheeler rose ( loudly applauded ) to support it , and said , Paine had said , " Taxation without representation was tyranny , and ought to be resisted . " If tlwt was the case , by what stronger name should they designate the act _contemplated t Why should tbepcople of this country engage in war ? They had ne interest in war . What should they fight for ? Surely not for Poor Law bastiles . If they went , to war , it must and would be a war in favour of democracy , and in opposition to aristocratical tyranny and oligarchical despotism . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . T . Cooper rose and said , although he anticipated defeat , yet he should feel it his duty to submit an amendment to the motion submitted , but let no
oue suppose that he came there to create division among his brother Chartists . No , he had suffered for their name and princi p les . He had endured two years of imprisonment , -which was , he thought , a true test of his sincerity . ( Hear , hear . ) He was sincere in his present sentiments , and , therefore , believing them beneficial , he thought it his duty to put them forward for their consideration ; and sure he was , that until a feeling of forgiveness took place , neither peace nor brotherly love could prevail . ( Hear , bear . ) It must begin somewhere , and he proposed that it commence with themselves . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho had not only suffered a confinement of two years , but during tbat time be had thought much , and a great change had taken place in his opinions ; yet when a man
begun to reflect , ( and no ir . an reflected without altering his opinions more or less ) , it was not by any means necessary that years should intervene before tbe change took place —( bear , hear , )—yet , in thc Northern Star of last week , Mr . O'Connor had rebuked him for his sudden change of opinion ; but that meeting would remember , the last time he stood upon that platform , he stated , " That he had been an advocate of fighting , but was so no longer . " ( Hear , hear . ) He was not in favour of the" Right divine of kings to govern wrong , " but he wanted moral , not physical resistance . He would say to tbe oppressors , " jou are wrong—I will not fight ; you may fine me if you will , you may imprison me , or lead me to the gallows if you will , but I will not fight . " ( Hear _. hear . )
Surely such moral resistance as this could not b « called passive ! No , it was fighting morally —( hear , bear , }—but if he struck his opponent , his opponent would resent it , and hence the system of cuttin ; throats was kept up . His doctrine was to tell tyrants they were wrong , and take the consequence . Let the people only resolve that no more murder shall be done , and then our country would not be disgraced by the erection of huge monuments to murderers . ( Hear , bear . ) He regretted the article Mr . O'Connor had written in tbe Northern Star of last week ; he knew he ( Mr ; Cooper ) had taught physical force ; he regretted it , and would now do all he could to unteach
it . ( Hear , hear . ) He was in favour of educational and moral Chartism . He knew it might be called humbug ; for this he cared not—he was not to be put down or driven out of Chartism . No , he sprung from the order of working men , and did not get a better coat in order to desert them , and mix with another order . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Cooper concluded by moving an amendment differing from the original motion , inasmuch as it went to the extent of condemning physical resistance , even in self-defence . No one offering to second the amendment , Mr . Cooper again rose and said , surely it could not Ik understood , and re-read it .
No seconder appearing , tbe amendmest fell to tbe ground . Mr . O'Connor rose amid great applause . He begged to assure Mr . Cooper , and that meeting , tbat nothing of an acrimonious nature would fall from his lips , but he thought , as Mr . Cooper admitted there was but such a trifling difference , and as all parties were dropping trifling , and something more than trifling differences , lor the purpose of union , Mr . Cooper was not justified in moving his amendment . He thought if he made an appeal to the oppressor not to send him to tbe prison , or to the scaffold , such an appeal would be found very ineffectual . ( Hear , hear . ) He had as much sympathy for Mr , Cooper ' s class , as Mr . Cooper had . ( " No , no , " from Mr . Cooper . ) Hesaid " yes , "for he loved their applause
wflDn they thought bim ri ght , and he also loved their very censure when they thought him wrong . He had sacrificed everything for family connections , rank , and social influence , and was promoted from the aristocracy to the glorious ranks of democracy . ( Great cheeriug . ) Did that meeting think , if the American people had merely said to tbe English tyrants " you are wrong , " tliat they would now have bad their Republic ? ( Loud cheering . ) Was it not far better to uphold democracy , than by passive means allow it to be trodden down by despotism ? ( Great oheering . ) Tell your government , in the language of Mr . Cooper , tbat you will not shed blood , even in selfdefence , and in what position would you soon find yourself ? ( Loud cheering . ) They had met for the
purpose of telling the government that they would not fight . Let the government bring in a new militia bill ; tell them that you are determined , under any and every circumstance , not to fight for oppression , and it would have the desired effect . To tell the oppressor that you would not resist bis aggression , were to bold out a premium for oppression . ( Loud cheers . ) He had never been the advocate of physical force , but he had frequently said , and he new repeated , that were the people as well prepared for wax as their oppressors , Liberty would coon be theirs . ( Immense applause . ) He agreed with Bolingbroke , that it was
just to resist force by force . ( Greatcheering . ) What would have been the position of Frenchmen or Americans at the present time if they had not adopted k ? ( Hear , hear . ) When equality prevailed , and not till then , could Mr . Cooper ' s system of arbitration take place . Were a schedule sent to him he should fill it up with "No Veto , no _MusketJ—won't serve !!" ( Loud cheers . ) The government wanted 40 , 000 men , in some way . He thought we had taken a moral and a mild way of resisting the insult , and would put it to Mr . Cooper , after the expression of the meeting , whether he would persist in his course . ( Loud cheers , )
Mr . Cooper again rose and said , he did not joke , he was serious in putting forth his sentiments , but as the amendment did net seem palatable to the meeting he did not wish to press it on them . The motion was put and carried unanimously . Mr . Johnson read , and moved the adoption of , a petition ( similar to those adopted at other metropolitan meetings ) , the reading of which was greeted with great applause . Mr . Ilumpbris seconded its adoption . Mr . T . Clark , in supporting it , said , he had much pleasure in aidingand assisting the cry of " No Vote ! no Musket 11 " For his own part he had such a dislike to physical force , thathe had resolved he would not fight ; yet he did not like the doctrine , that if a
man cut your right arm off , you must turn to him your left . ( Hear , hear . ) They bad met , in direct opposition to fighting , to tell the government that those who had an interest in the fighting must fight for themselves . Let the parsons , the bishops , and archbishops , buckle on the armour ; they have the good things of tbe church to fight for them . Let the lawyers fight—they have the emoluments of the profession to fight for . Let the officers of the army fight they obtain the spoils of war ; and if kings , or our Queen , want war 1 Ut them fight . Let all those fight who are interested in the matter ; but , as the people had no interest in the present order of things , let them refuse to fight for the interests of tlieir oppressors . ( Great cheering . )
Mr . T . Clark , of Ro _*« , Herefordshire , said a few words in suppoit of ihe petition , which was unanimously adopted . Mr . Doyle rose to move the following resolution : — " That this meeting are of opinion that the working , or unrepresented classes , havo been and still are the slaves of the dominant factions , and that the cause of tlieir degradation is solely attributed to class or party _legislation ; and that their condition will not be effectually ameliorated , their rights conceded , or their wrongs redressed , until they ate put in posses
sion of political power , which can only be effected by ihe enactment of the People ' s Charter .

Wakley the other night had said the working men were brilliancy itself , as compared with the ilouse of Commons .

Daniuiincd Suicide.—About Eleven O'Clock...
DaniuiiNCD Suicide . —About eleven o ' clock on Tuesday night , a mo » t determined act of suicide was committed by a _youag woman , named Elizabeth Blake , whose friends are highly respectable , and reside at Lock ' _s-fields , Walworth . It appears that the unfortunate creature left her home on the afternoon of Tuesday , in a very depressed stato of mind , caused , it is believed , by the state in which she was , expecting hourly to be confined . Late in the evening she was observed near tbe basin of tbe Canal , in the Old Kent-road , and about tbe time above stated , some one passing along the banks heard a loud splash in tbe water , and presentl y after something roBe to the _surf-iee . Fearing that it was an act of suicide on the part of some one , he gave an alarm , and the drags
being procured , they were put into operation for about half | an hour , when the persons succeeded in getting out the body . From the time which had unfortunately elapsed , all signs of life were gone ; and although prompt measures were adopted to promote her recovery , they were of no avail . Serious Cuahoes against a Stocmrokkr . —Lebds , Fbb . 3 . —The greatest surprise was created in Leeds to-day by the apprehension of Mr . II . J . Marcus , of the firm of Marcus , Naylor , and Co ., on a charge of forgery . Tbe examinations so far have been conducted before the magistrates in privacy , but the facts ofthe case are understood to be that the name of Darnton Lupton , Esq ., late mayor of Leeds , had been attached toatransterof some London and
Croydon Railway shares without his knowledge , the attestation to the signature being by Mr . Marcus . On apprehending Mr . Marcus , we bear that he made a desperate attempt at self-destruction , and it was only by the activity of Mr . Read , ofthe police force , who dashed the bottle of laudanum in pieces , which the unhappy man had just raised to his li ps , that the attempt was frustrated . Mr . Read ' s hand and Mr . Marcus s face were both cut in the struggle . After the examinations of to-day the case was adjourned , and the prisoner remanded until Thursday . Mr . Marcus was not a member of the Stock Kxchange , but held the office of chairman of tbe _Sharebrokerft ' Association . He is also one of the honorary _secretariei ofthe Leeds Mechanics' Institution .

LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND . _FQOD-PANIC AND THREATENED DISTURBANCES Dcbun , Feb . 5 . —It appears by accounts fron Galway , ' that the authorities are apprehensive o some disturbances in consequence of the people having evinced a determination to resist the exportation of grain . A local paper of yesterday says : — ' ) A troop of the 13 th Light Dragoons from Gort arrived here yesterday , under the command of Captain Hamilton , for the purpose , it is said , of repressing any outbreak among tho people which may arise , owing to the exportation of corn from this port . Two companies of the ; 30 th are likewise expectedone from Loughrca , the other , from Outreard—to aid the force in garrison , if necessary . This increase of troops is said to have been caused by the posting if a threatening notice at the _Gas-Itouae last week
, to the effect that the merchants' stores would bo broken up by the people if any further exportation of corn was attempted . " Meanwhile the prices of all descriptions of agricultural stock , particularly in the article of pork—the poor man s main resource to meet the rent-day—are rapidly tumbling within the last few days . In fact , a panic on a small scale has actually set in . " Pigs , " says a Wexford paper , "that averaged 43 s . to 44 s . per cwt . a fortnight back , could not bring 35 s . at the fair of Taghmon , on Wednesdty ; and a complete panic seemed to have seized on buyer and seller—the latter , except in one trifling instance , returning with his stock rather than submit to the reduced prices tendered . A proportionate reduction has taken place in the value of all kinds of grain , both in the southern and northern markets .
A letter from Tralee , of Monday ' s date , thus describes the effect in that looality of the Premier ' s measures : — " Grain , " says the writer , " if bought at all , was purchased at much lower quotations than the previous day . Pork , beef , butter , eggs , all commodities , in fact , but potatoes , tumbled .

Dreadful Shipwrecks. Eighty Lives Lost. ...
DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS . EIGHTY LIVES LOST . The losses announced duringthe last weekhave been truly appalling , several American packet ships being among the number wrecked in crossing the Atlantic , with the loss of all hands . Tbe first on the list is that of the Montreal , a fine new ship , 346 tons burthen , a trader between London and Quebec , wliich was lost during a snow storm on the night ofthe 14 th of last month , on Bhorenear Cape Chat , and not one belonging to her was left to tell the tale . The wreck , when discovered , was fast breaking up , her masts were gone , and her hull had parted in two . On shore the bodies of the captain ,
wife , and child were found , the latter being clasped in its mother ' s arms . Four other bodies were afterwards discovered entangled in the wreck . The next melancholy affair is that of another packoUhip , supposed to be tbe Saxon , bound to London , lost with all hands . The ship , which has alarge amount of insurance on her at Lloyd ' s , was 367 tons burthen , and left Boston , where she belonged , on the 13 th of last month , manned with a crew of twenty . She was last seen on the 17 th , and her destruction is supposed to have occurred about tte 19 th , on a reef of rocKJcallod the Ledges , near Red Head , as her wreck was passed by the Stamboul , from Smyrna , on the 24 th , twenty-five miles N . N . YY . of St . George ' s Shoal .
Another loss took place on a field of ice . The brig Laurel left Quebec on the morning of the 29 th of December , with a cargo of 400 barrels of flour and twenty-eight of butter . On arriving off Cacona , on the banks of Newfoundland , she was met by a large field of ice , and erery effort to steer clear of it proved abortive . The ship becoming fixed in it , she was shortly driven ashore on Green Island , where she immediately became a wreck . The crew suffered se verely for three days . The barque Universe , of Boston , was lost under similar circumstances—fortunately tbe crew were saved , The ship Cambrid ge , from Liverpool , on the 23 rd of December saw a vessel in distress , which proved tobe the Lord Lynedoch , of London , in a sinking state . T'hey took off the crew , _thirtHwoin number , who were in a dreadful state . The vessel foundered shortlyafter wards . aim
; _aast _moia -Jompany havo received information ot tbe total loss ot one of the Company ' s war sloops , named the Coote , commanded by Lieutenant J . S . Grieve . The disaster happened on the 3 rd of November last , on a reef of rocks opposite Calicut the vessel at tho time being on an expedition to the Malabar coast . The brig Merlin , of Newcastle , was totally destroyed by fire on the 3 rd ult . She was laden with wine and fruit , and within twelve hours after leaving Oporto Bar she caught fire . The captain and crew were soon forced to take to the boat , and abandon the vessel . They were afterwards picked up by a foreign schooner , which conveyed them to Gibraltar . Oa the beoks are also reported the total loss ofthe ship City of Shims , in the Mindora , Sea , with forty persons drowned , * and also the wreck of the Gustave Edouard , a French Indiaman , 650 tons burthen ; and another vessel , name not _exactly _ka < _wm—to > th attended with melancholy results .

Theatre Royal , Marylebone. We Recently ...
THEATRE ROYAL , MARYLEBONE . We recently visited this popular temple of the drama . The enterprising lessee has engaged Mr . White , and his highly-trained wild animals , who are performing in a grand spectacle , called " The Lion of the Desert ; or , the French in Morocco . " It is , as its name purports , a spectacle , well adapted to show off the great prowess of Mr . White and the docility ot his animals . Mr . White , as AbdaUah , drives a huge lion harnessed to a triumphal car , and afterwards enters a den , in which are several animale of the desert , including lions , leopards , « fcc . Their decility was here fully displayed , the lions fawning on Mr . White , and anon makiaga pillar for his head ; and the
leopards , & c , jumping about like so many kittens , fond _, ling their keeper , and licking his face The spectacle was eminently successful . Our friend Rayner as Ben Ismael , was evidently placed in a position unworthy his talents . At the close of the piece , Mr . White was called to the foot-lights , and came , leading a leopard thereto and was greeted with loud marks of approbation . The pantomime , after a run of upwards of thirty night ' s , is at great a favourite as ever . The evening ' s entertainment concluded with the drama of " The Death Plank or , the Dumb Sailor Boy : " in which Mrs . Campbell played with more than her usual ability . The drama was , as it de . served to be , triumphantly successful , and will bear repetltion many times during the season .
