Accordingly, habita a for some days past, the respectable in- oave been enrolling themselves as special issued, hS and on Thursday, a proclamation was th or der of the Government, countersigned by arj mni of Police, intimating that such is contrary to law, and cautioning all "at a not to attend, or take part in, or be present vp 0u such assemblage or procession," and calling th ad well-disposed persons" to aid in enforcing "the Pro Vlsion of the law, and effectually to protect pu peace." At the same time, extensive pre arati ons are being made on the part of polls Ver nment.

Tbe state of society in Paris i' 1 lUp ma few words. It is a chaos of doubts, 1 a 'n wherein those who can think dare not a those who are acting are incapable of 11 of Ptpc iation of all kinds of property, the cespanic on the Bourse, and the sink- national finances, confirm these views She 1 an rt ne wor i ma see at a glance as ncr third revolution what tt, or ma a is to be discovered.

Now, let us not be misunderstood, as implying by this, the slightest censure upon the nobleman at the head of the Irish Government, or his colleagues of the Cabinet in this country. We have I reason to know that Lord Clarendon is fully prej pared for any and every contingency that desperate designs or reckless counsels may precipitate and we I have the assurance of Lord John Russell that Her Majesty's Ministers will not hesitate to demand from Parliament the most summary powers, should such be required, for the suppression of treason in that part of Her Majesty's dominions. It is perhaps premature to discuss the nature of these powers at present; but, the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act" would amply suffice, inasmuch as it would enable Government to seize upon the ringleaders, and keep them in prison, without any of the excitement that a public trial would be sure to create. But, while saying this, we must guard ourselves against the supposition of being seriously apprehensive of an Irish Rebellion.

We think such an even extremely improbable, notwithstanding the frantic vapourings of the Repeal Leaders; for, we believe, none are more fully aware than they are of the hopelessness of any attempt to set aside the Queen's authority in Ireland. The rural population, by whose aid and agency alone a rebellion could be sustained for twenty-four hours, are mainly, if not entirely, beyond the sway and influence of the clique of desperadoes that infest Dublin and some of the larger towns in the south and west of Ireland and, as to city mobs, the police force alone, without the presence of a single soldier, would be fully equal to their dispersion. Beside, the Irish Government has, in the language of Lord John Russell, received the most gratifying assurances of loyal support from a great number of persons, both Protestant and Roman Catholic from clergymen of the one, and priests of the other religion; from all classes landlords and in fact, from a large number of persons of all parties and classes in the country." And, we have it on undoubted authority, that some of the most influential of the Roman Catholic Bishops and Priests have strenuously warned the people against the evil advisers who would instigate them to open rebellion. We heard the name of one Roman Catholic Bishop mentioned, that of Dr. Kennedy, who has strictly enjoined upon the priests of his diocese the duty of cautioning the people against the traitorous plans proposed to them by the Irish Confederation, and we have been given to understand that his instructions have been very generally and faithfully acted upon.

Now, the importance of such admonitions at such a time will be readily admitted when we state, that Dr. Kennedy's diocese extends over Clare and the North Riding of Tipperary and, we believe, that the same course has been pursued byother Bishops throughout the south of Ireland. The fact is well known, that the Irish Priests dread the influence of all the men connected with the Confederation their opinions are known to verge upon, if not actually to touch, the dogmas of infidelity they are as loose la their religious sentiments as in their loyalty and hence the distrust with which they are regarded by the Irish Priests, and the circumscribed powers of mischief they possess. Long before this time they must be painfully and distressingly sensible of the smallness of their followers, and of their utter inability to cope with the forces the Lord Lieutenant has at his command and, consequently, we feel firmly persuaded, that they will shrink from the reality of a struggle which they must know can only have one issue, and which may involve all of them in the guilt and punishment of high'treason. It is all very well to spout sedition before the sympathising audience, and to denounce the Saxon government to perdition; the luxury of intoxicating applause is cheaply purchased by big words, and fierce threatenings; but, when it comes to the chances and consequences of a collision with the Queen's troops are brought palpably before the gulf is actually in sight, then we have seen enough of Irish sedition, to know, that prudence generally steps in, and that it is found amazingly convenient to have the principles and doctrines of moral force to fall back upon.

The truth is, the persons anxious to draw the sword or wield the pike in the sister country, constitute but a fraction of the community and it consists of a few brawling patriots, craving for notoriety, and of that rather numerically large class, in every state, who hope to acquire something by a general scramble. The rest are all on the side of government, law, and order, and have proffered to Her Majesty's Representative in Ireland, such a measure of support and co-operation in the maintenance of peace, as must satisfy the wildest republican, that any attempt to throw off the yoke of England," as the orators of the confederation phrase it, and erect Ireland into an independent nation, must end in disastrous failure. Indeed the danger is not, that any such result would follow an outbreak in the sister country, since of that none are afraid but, rather lest that part of Her Majesty's dominions should be thrown back half a century by a return to the miserable and appalling scenes witnessed there in 1798. The landlord and the farmer the manufacturer and the shopkeeper; the professional man and the mechanic, would each feel the direful effects of even the semblance of a convulsion; and in its present deplorable condition, after last year's frightful famine, Ireland is but ill-prepared to encounter other calamities. The most prosperous states sink under the distrust and panic inspired by a revolution we may then imagine to what a depth of misery and suffering, anything like an insurrectionary outbreak would necessarily reduce Ireland.

These considerations are, we know, valueless in the estimation of the men who threaten the Queen's Government, and cry up the value and importance of the Irish pike as an instrument of warfare but, we also happen to know, that the great bulk of the Irish people are not wholly indifferent to the safety of their properties and lives. Taking a calm and dispassionate view of affairs in that country, and making due allowance for the malignity and will of mischief, manifested by the leaders of the confederation, as for the impetus given to insurrectionary movements, by the example continental states, we have, nevertheless, come confidently to the conclusion, that there will be no outbreak this time in Ireland. Seditious speeches, treasonable harangues, warlike newspaper articles, there will be in abundance but, as to any real fighting, as to street barricades, and actual conflicts with the army, we hold it for a certainty, that the sister country will escape the misery of witnessing such things in this year of revolutions. The Provisional Government of France will have nothing to do with the Irish Rebels. M.

Lamartine has refused to fraternise with Meagher or O'Brien. Invited to afford aid and arms towards the mad project for disuniting Ireland from the Crown of Great Britain, he has nothing hut lofty expressions of sympathy to bestow, telling the confederation champions, that if they want to wage war against England, they must depend upon themselves. We did not expect, we could not have expected less from Lamartine and, while saying this, we by no means think that the spirit of his reply to the Irish Deputations entitle him to the great laudation showered upon him by some of our contemporaries. Surely, it is no very great praise to an honest man, to refuse, when asked, to join in an attack upon another for the sake of plunder or vengeance neither do we hold the minister for foreign affairs of a power at amity with us entitled to much credit, because he refuses to make a wanton, unprovoked, and hazardous aggression upon his nearest neighbour. We know indeed that Lamartine's language was exceedingly distasteful to those Irish gentlemen who had repaired to Paris in order to enlist the arms of France against their own legitimate sovereign but, except the Provisional Government were blind and desperate, they would not dare make any avowals at this moment of hostility towards any European power, much less towards this country We are at said Lamartine to Mr.

Smith O'Brien. We a deslro of remaining on good terms of iwlV'r ot th tnis or that part of Great Britain, but witn Irreat Britain entire. We believe this peace to be nou rable, not only to Great Britain and tbe rencli Republic, but to the human race. We will not commit an act, we wiil not utter a word, we will not breathe an insinuation, at variance with the principles of the reciprocal in. loiaoiiity of nations which we have proclaimed, and of which tne continent of Europe is already gathering the fruits.

The fallen monarchy had treaties and diplomatists. Our diplomatists are treaties are sympathies! We should be insane were we openly to exchange such a diplomacy for unmeaning and partial alliances with even the most legitimate parties in tlie countries which surround us. We are not competent either to judge them or to prefer some of them to others; by announcing our partisanship of the one side we should declare ourselves the enemies of the other. We do not wish to be the enemies of any of your fellow-countrymen. We wish on the contrary, by a faithful observance of the Republican pledges, to remove tbe prejudices which may mutually exist between our neighbours and ourselves.

This course, however painful it may be, is imposed on us by the law of nations as well as by our historical remembrances. That is not only the language of common sense, but of good policy; its coldness must have fallen with crushing severity upon the hearts and hopes of the Irish Rebels and we only wish tbat the whole reply had been framed upon the same model, and that' the French Minister had not stooped from his elevated position to the poor work of bandying compliments with the representatives of Irish disaffection. It may be that Lamartine had to consult the taste and embody the spirit of some of his colleagues in his reply to the address from the Irish Deputation that hypothesis would serve to account for the introductory paragraphs, in which Ireland is treated to a prodigious dose ofthe blarney in which some of her children are supposed so largely to indulge We are not astonished to see to day a deputation from Ireland. Ireland knows how deeply her destinies, her sufferings, and her successive advances in tne path of religious liberty, of unity, and of constitut.onal equal llh the other parts of the United Kingdom, have at all times moved the heart of We said as much, few days ago, to another deputation of yourfelow-citizens. the children of that glorious isle of the of its inhabitants and the striking events render equally symbolical of the poetry and the heroism oi the nations of the assured, therefore, thatyou will Jnd lin France, under the Republic, a response to all the sentiments which you express Tell your fellow citizens that the name of Ireland is synonymous withthe name of liberty efended Ka inrt privilege-that it is one common name to every.French citizen Tell them that this reciprocity this hospitality of which they are Republic will be proud to remember and to towards the Irish.

Well, this cause ot dissension between Great Britain and us, we will never renew by taking any similar course. We accept with gratitude expressions of friendship from the different nationalities included in the British empire. We ardently wish that justice may found and strengthen the friendship of races that equality may become more and more its basis but while proclaiming with you, with her (England) and with all, the holy dogma of fraternity, we will perform only acts of brotherhood, in conformity with our principles, and our feelings towards the Irish nation." la Republique Five le Gouvemement Proviso-ire "Five Lamartine f) But, taken as a whole, the document in question has unquestionably contrived to escape the giving occasion of offence to the British Government; although we see no reason why the Irish Deputations were at all received at the Hotel de Ville. In our opinion, the Provisional Government should have peremptorily refused to receive the subjects of Her Majesty, well known as it was that they had gone over to Paris for the purpose of soliciting the intervention of the French Republic in the affairs of Ireland.

The amity of nations ought to have prevented the reception of a deputation upon such an errand in other respects Lamartine proved himself worthy of the position he occupies, and of the name he has already consecrated to history. LOCAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. The weather in this district is now delightfully fineand spring-like. Agricultural operations in all directions are progressing in a very satisfactory manner, and a short continuance of the favourable weather which we at pre. sent enjoy is all that is needed to enable the agricultursts to sow a large breadth of ground in the best possible condition.

The wheat crops throughout the whole district are looking remarkably well. The General Quarter Sessions for the county of Northumberland, the county of Durham, and the town and county of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, have been held during the present week, but, the charges involved only trifling offences of no degree of public interest. At the General Quarter Sessions at Durham on Monday last, Chas. Lamb, of Ryton, and Geo. Hawks, of Gateshead, Esqs.

took the oaths and qualified as Magistrates for the county of Durham. The Marquess and Marchioness of Londonderry and family have arrived at Holdernesse House, from Ireland, after passing two or three days at Wynyard Park, on their way to London for the season. The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Shares have advanced in price within the last few days from £99 to £108, and are in considerable demand at improving rates. The Shares of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank hays risen considerably iv price since the announcement was made by the Sharebrokers'Association that the report of an intended call on these shares is without foundation; they were quoted before this announcement at £3, 55., and are now standing on the share list at £4. ss.

The time allowed to the shareholders for taking up the new shares having expired on the 31st ult. it is understood, on good authority, that the directors have resolved not to sell what are remaining under £6 per share. The new and reduced rates of duty on Timber and Glass, when imported from foreign parts, came into operation on Thursday the last general alteration of the tariff by Sir Robt. Peel's Government. It is concluded that Mr.

and Mrs. Chas. Kean will appear at the Theatre Royal, in this town, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of this month, and, probably, in the new piay ofthe Wife's Secret, which has been extraordinarily attractive at Edinburgh and other places. The Hon. Member for Sunderland, George Hudson, Esq.

accompanied by several officials connected with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company, visited this town on Wednesday last, and inspected she stupendous works of the High Level Bridge aad the Grand Central Railway Station, now in progress. The Mermaid's Song" irom Weber's Oberon, arranged for the piano-forte by Mr. Ketelle, of this town, has just been published. It is an exquisite piece of music, and deserves a place in the collection of every professor and amateur. Great rejoicings took place at North Shields on Thursday.

on the occasion of the opening of the new Custom House in that town, under the order of the Treasury, constituting the Pore of Shields." The day was observed as a general holiday, and the festivities were closed by a display of fire works in the evening. Tiie Grand Ball of Mons. D'Albert took place on Thursday evening, in the Assembly Rooms, In this Town, aud was well attended, as usual, by the elite ofthe community. The juveniles appeared to great advantage, and displayed, in extraordinary perfection, the result of Mons. D'Albert's successful teaching.

The ball for the pupils concluded about ten o'clock, when that for the general company commenced, and dancing was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. The music was superlative, and refreshments were supplied in profusion during the course ofthe evening, in Mr. Haigh usually excellent style. The Commissioners of Pilotage for the Port of Sunderland intend immediately to appoint nine persons as new pilots, and nine others lor receiving acting orders. No person, whose age does not exceed forty years, will be considered eligible tor a branch license, nor any person under twenty or exceeding thirty an acting order.

It is understood that both the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and the Caledonian Railway Companies, have intimated that they are prepared to treat for the purchase of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, whose affairs are in a most satisfactory and prosperous condition. It is not known that the able directors of the latter undertaking are disposed to recommend the proprietary toseli their line with all its adjuncts, though there can be no doubt they have it in their power to secure advantageous terms. The Swallows, those harbingers of summer weather, have made their appearance in this district, having been seen the last few days skimming over the various streams in considerable numbers. This is from ten days to a fortnight earlier than the time of their usual visit to these northern regions. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, who has this week been at Alnwick Castle, has directed an additional number of allotments of land to be laid out in different parts adjoining the town of Alnwick.

Larger allotments, of four acres each, have also been laid out for grazing purposes, for the accommodation ofthe inhabitants. The body of Charles Pearson, one of the unfortunate men who were drowned at Culler-coats on the 2nd of February last by the upsetting of a fishing boat, was found last, week on the shore at Black-Halls, near Hartlepool. The new Collector of Customs for the Port of Shields is Mr. Brown, removed from Beaumaris. The Comptroller is Mr.

Turner, from Wisbeach. These respectable gentlemen will have nice, snug berths. Their chief duties will be in walking to the Custom House, sitting on their stools a few hours, and walking home with keen appetites for their dinner. Madame Suingle, on closing her Dancing Academy for the season last week, invited the parents and friends of her pupils to witness the progress they had mad a under her tuition in a short time, and all were delighted with the manner in which they went through the dances, although many of them were very young persons. The two concerts given by Mr.

States, the lessee of the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms, on Monday last, passed off with perfect success and to the great satisfaction of numerous and highly respectable audiences. The performances of Madame Dulcken and Mr. John Parry were of a highly attractive character, and elicited the most rapturous applause. A brutal fight took place at Murton Colliery, on Wednesday last, between William Graham and William Gilroy, pitmen the former received such serious injury that he died in five minutes after he had been removed from the place of combat, and Gilroy also lies in a very precarious state. The two seconds are in the hands of the police.

A coroner's inquest was held the next day on view of the body of Graham, and after hearing from witnesses a statement of the facts of the case, the returned a verdict of manslaughter against William Gilroy. A storm of thunder and lightning passed over this town on Sunday afternoon last, but it was much more violent in the north, as well as at some places in the south a perfect waterspout burst over Morpeth, which, in a few minutes deluged the lower parts of the town, and Caused great alarm to the inhabitants. At Wooler the streets were flooded, and much damage was done to the gardens. A Ewe belonging to Mr. Robert of Thornton, near Morpeth, brought forth a few days ago a twin lamb, with six legs, which is now living.

There is a very general belief that the convict Dowson, now under sentence of death in Durham Gaol for murder, will be transported for life, although nothing official has as yet been received by the authorities in that city upon the subject. Attempt at Highway a per. son of the name of Watson, belonging to South Shields, was returning, on Saturday night last, from Newcastle along the South Shields turnpike, when, near to the Firtrees, he was met by a man, to appearance a railway labourer, who demanded his money. This he refused to give, but said if threepence would do him any good be should have it. The fellow then grappled with him, and a struggle ensued, but.

Watson being the stronger man, threw him down, falling over him. While down, the fellow seized his finger and nearly bit it off; but, disengaging himself from his grasp, Watson thrashed the rascal soundly with, a stick, and left him lying on the road. District Court of the matter of Sampson Langdale and Son, of Stockton, Corn Merchants, the arguments on the application for a certifieateo! conformity having yesterday been brought to a close, the learned Commissioner intimated his intention of reconsidering the whole case before giving a decision upon he conflicting views which had been submitted. In he matter of John Storey, who had traded for a long course of years at Monk-Wearmouth, without having kept any regular accounts, and had, moreover, mortgaged the great bulk of his property shortly previous to his bankruptcy, his Honour, on the present application for a certificate of conformity, adjourned the sitting lor hlteeiv months, at the end of which time the grant ofa certificate at all might depend upon whether the mortgaged property produced any surplus for the uncovered creditors protection to be granted for three months only. In the matter of James Dove, of Darlington and Sunderland, leather cutter, the Learned Commissioner said he received two anonymous letters respecting this case, which were exceedingly improper, and intimated that ia any similar case In future he should visit such conduct as a contempt of court.

Free Trade- silence of the once noisy agitators for Free Trade, not only in Parliament but out of it, is at least remarkable, if not significant of somewhat altered views as to the results of that fallacious system. The fruits of Free Trade may be summed up as Increaseil taxation, in its most objectionable ruin of many of our most respectable and wealthiest commercial destruction of our oldest and most valuable a serious deficiency in the rapidly increasing total stagnation in our thousands of our artizans reduced to the most poignant distress, and through distressdriven to riot and outrage. Such are the fruits of Free Trade, and what have we to compensate tor such accumulated eviis An Income Tax, and perhaps something more in the way of national inquest was held before Mr. J. G.

Stoker, coroner for this borough, on Saturday last, on the body of Air. James Brydon. It appeared that about six o'clock on tbe evening previous, the woman who usually cleans the Colliery Office, Quayside, went in for that purpose, but, finding Mr. Brydon still at his desk, she retired. Returning at about twenty minutes past eight, she found him lying dead upon the floor.

He was upon his face, and a quantity of blood had flowed from his mouth or nose. The deceased was a widower, of abstemious habits, and in apparent good health, and much respected and esteemed. He was one of the sons of Mr. Brydon, of South Hetton, viewer, and, till lately, occupied a house in High West Street, Gateshead. Died by the Visitation of God." Another inquest was held on Monday, by the same coroner, on the body of a young man of the name of Humble, who was drowned on the 22nd February, along with other three other men, at the works of the High-level Bridge, by the upsetting of a boat.

The body was only found on Sunday. "Found Drowned." Another inquest was held the same evening, at the Infirmary, on the body of a girl named Landells, daughterof Mr. John Landells, of Cramer Dykes. It appeared that on Saturday last, the deceased was at play at the end of King James Street, Gateshead, when a cart laden with sand ran oyer her left thigh. The child lingered until Sunday.

Death. The late Mr. Youatt, in one of his orations to the members of the Veterinary College, that by the improvements in modern chemistry, the medical profession are enabled successfully to treat di seases which were previously supposed as not within the reach of medicine." This truth has been manifested for many years, but in no instance of greater importance to mankind than by the discovery of Blair's Gout and Kheumatic Pills, Tee Bile infallibly cured by Holloway's who suffer from Bile are unconscious of it; they complain of sick headaches, derangement and sinking at the stomach, loss of appetite, lowness of spirits, want of energy, feet, hands, and face swelling, and know not that these symptoms denote the imperfect action of the liver, and if not remedied may lead to dropsy. Holloway's Pills wil 1 always be found to act directly upon the bver and stomach, and carry off the redundancy of humours, and thereby immediately restore the patient to a lull enjoyment of health. The blue pill i a mercurial and destructive medicine, which no one should take.

I The Norman the monthly meetj ing of the A ntiquarian Society of this town, held on Tues. day last, estimates for the restoration of the Chapel in our Ancient Norman Castle were laid before the meeting. One ofthe estimates, tendered by Mr. James Hogf, was approved of, and a sub-committee was appointed, in'conjunction with Mr. Dobson, to superintend the progress of the works, which will now be immediately commenced.

The doorway at the south end of the chape! has been already re-opened, and the ancient pavement of the nave has neen discovered beneath the accumulation of rubbish that lay upon it. It is probable that very interesting discoveries will be made during the progress of the repairs. The Antiquarian Society will not consider its labours terminated till the whole Castle has been placed in complete repair and this, it appears, may be accomplished at a comparatively trifling cost. When this is done, Newcastle may boast of possessing one of the most perfect Norman Keeps in this kingdom; and the Antiquarian Society will be proud to hold its meetings in a building so interesting to every lover of the stupendous works of the olden times. The most careful examination of every portion of the chapel has been made, and the utmost diligence will be used to complete the entire restoration of this exquisite specimen of Norman art, by an early period in the summer.

It then remains to apply the remainder of the £250, granted by the Corporation for the repairs, to the renewal of the carved work around the doorway leading to the great hall; and, lastly, to restore to its ancient condition a very beautiful room, seldom seen by the visitors to the Castle, but situated at the head ofthe stairs leading to the great hall, and immediately above the chapel. Darkness v. Ragged School in Sandgate The Bishop of Durham, as well as many other benevolent persons, clerical and lay, of this town and neighbourhood, and particularly the Society of Friends, all influenced by proper motives, have contributed to the opening and maintaining a Ragged School for poor children in one of thelmost destitute and immoral parts of this large town. But, what will the public think when they are informed that the Roman Catholic Priests of Newcastle have commenced a crusade against this excellent and harmless institution, which has committed no offence, save that unpardonable one of imparting gratuitous instruction to the poorest and most ignorant children of that neighbourhood. It appears that the Roman Caihoiic Priests, true to their own dark system, and exhibiting their usual intermeddling habits, have issued a prohibition that the poor, ignorant, half-fed, and half-clothed children in that district, shall have no enlightenment.

But, it is also understood, that another public institution, the Female Penitentiary, which is supported altogether by the monies of Church of England people and of Protestant Dissenters, has been attempted to be invaded by the Roman Catholic Priests, who have evinced great earnestness to interfere with the regulations of the institution, and doubtless to introduce among the inmates their unscriptural ways. We are glad, however, to find that the Committee of that institution stood fast, and repulsed their reverences Indeed, few of our public institutions are free from their Jesuitical access, and in these times of unscrupulous proselytism on the part of the Priests of Rome, we would warn every one of the awful hazard those persons incur who suffer themselves to be seduced by thespeciousrepresentationsofmodern liberalism, or overcome by the undisguised arrogance of Romanism. Popery is sure to take advantage of the weakness or remissness of Protestants. We would more especially wish by these observations to confirm and establish civil rulers, and all in authority, who are members of the Established Church, in their loyal and faithful attachment to the Church of England, purified as she is from the corruption and deceits of her old enemy, Romanism and that their official influence should be used to advance the truth of God, and encourage its dissemination, to controui the stealthy progress of Popery, and discourage its doctrines and practices. A firm stand should be made now.

when the enemy of our Church and nation is threatening to come in like a flood. THE SEVERANCE OF THE PORT. A meeting of the Town Council of this borough was held on Thursday last, the Right Worshipful the Mayor in the chair, when the Treasury scheme for dismembering the port underwent a long discussion. The Town Clerk, in reply to a question, stated that the order for the separation of the port took effect from that day, Thursday. He further remarked, that Mr.

Brockett, Mr. Robert Plummer, and himself had a meeting on Wednesday with the inspector appointed for the purpose of carrying out the order, and he had now to inform the Council that the order was to be carried out in such a manner that it would practically have the same effect as the agreement entered into a short time since with the sanction of Mr. Dawson, that is to say, all the business might be done at any part of the port. The only difference would be, that there would be a Collector and Comptroller established at North Shields. They would still retain the title of the Port of Newcastle," and Shields would have the same advantage, being entitled the Port of Shields.

The description of the port, as it appeared in the Gazette, was incorrect. The port of Shields, as fixed by the inspector, was to include all the river east of the Whitehill Foint Sand, on the north side of the river, and thence to the east point of Jarrow on the south side of the river. Mr. Aid. Dunn said, the effect or that woula be, to throw the Jarrow Docks into the port of Shields.

If the docks were established at Jarrow, there would be very extensive warehouses connected with them, and then it would become a matter of considerable importance to Newcastle with respect to the bonding ot goods there. He proposed that an endeavour should be made to have the line of separation direct across the river to the high end of South Shilds; but he afterwards withdrew his motion, leaving the matter in the hands of the Town C1 A question having been asked as to the legality of the change, the Town Clerk said he had spoken to the inspector on the subject of the legal difficulties, and inquired what legal advice had been taken by the board on the subject and he replied, that no opinion had been taken excepting that of" the Solicitor to the Customs. The Town Clerk added, that he himself had put a esse before counsel, and was now obtaining an opinion or. the subject. After some discussion relative to this point and the propriety of bringing the case beTore Parliament, r.

Brockett proposed that a protest, under the seal of the Corporation, be sent to the Lords of the Treasury against the separation of the port for any purpose whatever. The motion was seconded by Capt. Weatherley, and carried unanimously by a show of hands. Mr. Harle thought they ought to carry the matter further by a petition, setting forth the whole facts of the case, to the House of Commons.

Hitherto all the transactions relating to the business had been conducted in private, and he thought they might now present a petition stating the whole case of Newcastle, North and South Shields, and Gateshead, clearly setting forth their rights and ail that had been done by the united committees. He thought there had rather been a want of spirit so far as parties were concerned on whom they relied, by which means North Shields had gained a supremacy. He trusted that the Council would show a proper degree of spirit, and that the strongest representations would be made to the members for the town to bring the case before Parliament. They might convey to the legislature the feelings of Newcastle upon this subject, because in looking at the trade and capital invested in commerce, they would see that the grossest injustice had been commute 1 by parties who were really unacquainted with the river. That would not have been the case if parties in power had understood the nature of port.

He reterreu to Lord (irey and Wir (ieutge (irey, who possessed local knowledge, had not taken a part in the question, but had left the case i entirely in the hands of strangers; to Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Lefevre, and others, who knew nothing of the detans. jNo one could form an opinion unless he were acquainted with the Tvne from the Bridge to the Bar, and he thought that this proceeding should be exposed, and be powerfully stated to ihe House of Commons, as there was a very strong opinion in the neighbourhood that the whole concocted for othcia purposes and for no public good. (Hear, hear.) He had heard from no one that the facilities of commerce would be increased by it, and it was certain that a heavy expense would be occasioned.

4 After some further remarks from Mr. Harle, the motion was seconded by Mr. H. carried by a show of hands; and a petition was ordered to he prepared by the Town Clerk. Some conversation took place with reference to parties who should present tbe petition, and it was suggested that the petition to the Lords, should be intrusted to Lord Ellenborough, who had recently brought under the notice of parliament the great increase oi expenditure which had occurred in the custom's Mr.

Philipson was opposed to the suggestion, hut, it was finally adopted by the council, his lordship being considered the most fitting party to protect the rights of the Corporation, and the interests of the public against such a waste of the public money. It was agreed that the petition to the Commons should be presented by the members lor the borough. On the motion of Mr. Philipson. seconded by Mr.

Preston, Mr. Aid. Dunn, Mr. Aid. Hodgson, and Mr.

Brockett were appointed a committee to confer with the Town Clerk, and take such steps as they might deem necessary. After the warrants to the Sheriff to summon juries to assess the value of certain property, under the Town Improvement Act, had been ordered to be signed, and the reception of several petitions, which were referred to the Finance Committee, Mr. Brockett moved that a petition be adopted in favour of the Tyne Direct terry Company's Bill. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kayne, and agreed to After the Town Clerk had read a letter from the engineer to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company, requesting the transfer of some property in the Manors, the want of which greatly impeded the progress of the works, the Council adjourned to Wednesday the 2fith inst.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE QUESTION. There appeared in the Gazette of yesterday week, an official notification from the Lords of the Treasury, with respect to the severance of the Port of Newcastle, by detaching from its limits a portion lying northward of an 'deal line from Jarrow Quay to Whitehill Point Sand, such detached portion to be henceforth denominated the Port of Shields, with a separate and independent Custom House. The official notification is as follows We, the undersigned, being three of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do hereby, under the authority of an act. passed in the session of parliament holden in the ninth and tenth years of the reign of her present Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act to amend the laws relating to the Cunnms," appoint New- Ca a and to be ports in that part of the United Kingdom a England; and we do hereby declare that, from and after the sth day of April next, the limits of the port of Newcastle shall comprise the river Tyne. westward of a supposed straight line drawn from the east end of Jarrow Quay, on the south side of the said river, in the county of Durham, to the east end of Whitehill Point Sand, on the north side of the said river, in the county of Northumberland, includingall quays, wharfs, shores, and staiths within the said limits.

That the limits of the port of Shields shall commence at the south side of the River Aln, in the county of Northumberland, and continues from thence along the coasts of the said counties of Northumberland and Durham to Souter Point, In the latter county, including so much of the river Tyne as is northward of a supiiosed straight line drawn from Whitehill Sand Point, on the northern side of the said river, in the county of Northumberland, to Jarrow Quay, on the south side ofthe said river, In the county of Durham. And we the said Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury do further declare, that the limits seaward of the said port of Shields shall extend to a distance of three miles from low water mark out to sea, and that the limits of the said port shall include all islands, bays, harbours, rivers and creeks within the same respectively. And we, the said Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, do hereby annul all former limits of the said ports. 1 (Signed) R. M.

BELLEW. Whitehall Treasury chambers, Klf of March, 1848. SHELBOURNE. In pursuance of the above order of the Lords of the Trea. snry, and, tor the purpose of carrying the same into effect, Mr.

Dowding, one of the Surveyors-General of Customs, arrived hereon Monday, and has since been engaged in adopting the necessary arrangements. The first difficulty arose upon the order of the Treasury itself, which described the limits ofthe new port.as being northward of a supposed line from row to Whitehill Point Sand, whereas the district intended to be comprised therein lay eastward of the supposed hie. I the fim th refore waB neceesary to repau the error committed by the Treasury officials, their extreme haste to accomplish the job con. templaten by superiors. The general arrangements and details have not yet beer, completed, but, the following, it is said, have been agreed upon Foreign Trade may report either at Newcastle or Shields, but where tbey report eunerac wewcastieor Foreign Trade pass torziw pv may clear at either Custom nter and cVear at both porTs" Ut must they may C0 7tyT hat have to deliver at Shields.

It was thought the stores so sent open for one porC to another, but the subject rem-iins open for further consideration. Corn and other goods mn4 aed tne re, though belonging to Newcastle merchants, must be treated as imported into Shields as a separate pot c. The ct these arrangements will be very nearly the wmees would have resulted from the agreement of March 1847.

which receded the sanction of Mr. Dawson. The great difference will be ir. the expense of carrying out tbe respective pians i he agreement of March 1847 would have entailed no additional expense whatever on the merchants and traders of the port, while under itevery facility would have been afforded to the inhabitants of North and South ev can attain under the arrangement adopted, and bywhich thepublic wiil be saddled withtheexpense of supporting two custom houses, two collectors, two comptrollers, a double set of clerks and underlings, where one establishment would have answered every purpose, except, indeed, that ol satisfying the jobbers at the Treasury and the Boara of Customs, and the two or three individuals directly interested and benefitted by the proposed arrangement. the very face of it there is imprinted the character oi a job hut, closer examination proves it not only nut, a job 0 the most nefarious description.

For, supposing trie circumstances were such as to justify the Lords tne 1 reasury in instituting a "Port of Shields," by a severance of the Port of Newcastle, no one would ever dream of placing the new custom house establishment at Shields, so much inferior in all respects to its southern neighbour, un ess some se fish aild sinister object were contemplated. North Shielcs has been standing still for upwards ot a century. The increase of its population is insignificant as compared with South Shields, which, indeed, excels it in all the elements of commercial greatness, as is clearly shewn by reference to the following com. parative statements, founded on authentic data, and embodied in a petition presented to Parliament on the subject Balance in South North favour of Shields.

A lew more facts, which the Board of Customs appear to have entirely disregarded, will place this in a still stronger light, aud yet more clearly develope the designs of the Treasury, Customs, and local jobbers.

From an analysis of the import trade of this port during the years 1846 and 1847, it appears that the total number of vessels which entered the harbour with cargoes, was, in the former year, 951, and in the latter, 889; and of these 692 and 652 were delivered at Newcastle in those years respectively. The remainder, 259 and 237, were delivered wholly or in part at Siiields. Of the 259 vessels so delivered at Shields in 1846, only 26 were on account of Shields importers; and of the 237 in 1847 only 23 were on account of Shields importers; the rest being on account oi importers at Newcastle. Then, what proportion of the 26 cargoes in 1846, and of the 23 in 1847, were on account of importers residing at North NONE WHATEVER! Not a single cargo; the whole of them being on account of importers residing at South Shields And yet North Shields is to have a Custom House, Kiid South Shields is to be without one; or. rather, the establishment represented to be for the beueht of both places is to be stationed in that which has absolutely no foreign trade whatever Of the 259 vessels so delivered wholly or in part at Shields, in 1846, as appears that only 71 belonged to ship-owners there, viz.

36 too wners in North 35 to owners in South Shields; and of tbe 237 so delivered in 1847, only 66 belonged to owners in Shields, viz. 31 to owners in North Shields and 35 to owners in South Shields. The conclusion, then, is obvious. The division ofthe port is clearly a Whig job, and as there are no commercial grounds, there seem at least strong private and political reasons, on the part of the promoters of this scheme, for preferring North to South Shields as the locality of the new Custom House, But, wbat we may ask in conclusion, have the honourable members for the borough done to preserve the integrity of the port What effectual opposition could be expected from such a hungry dependant on the Ministry as Mr. Headlam That there is a strong feeling ot disgust existing against the government, even among its own friends and supporters, for its conduct in regard to this question, is evident from what took place 1 at the meeting of the Town Council on Thursday last.

The reference to Mr. Labouchere, and Mr. JLefevre, who are really practical men, was not, it is considered, to ascertain the real merits of the question, but, merely to obtain a favourable report, under which the Treasury or rather tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer might act in the face of the representations, and against the wishts of the parties most deeply interested merchants and traders of the locality. It is to be hoped that some means will yet be devised to frustrate their intentions, and none seems likely to be more effectual than bringing the subject fully before Parliament. Such work as this it was which ruined the Guizot Ministry, and dethroned Louis Philippe; and also pulled down the last Whig Ministry in this country.

'l'he present Ministry will disgust every one with this" atrocious job." THE QUEEN AND COURT. Prince Albert, the ladies and gentlemen of the Court and the domestic household, attended divine service in the Private Chapel in Buckingham Palace, on Sunday morning. The though still confined to the Palace, continues to advance steadily towards a perfect re-establishment of robust health. Prince Albert and the junior branches of the royal family, continue well, and daily take their habitual riding aud walking exercise. 'I he Queen took an airing, on Wednesday, in the garden of Buckingbard Palace.

The Duchess of Kent and the Prince of Prussia honoured the performances at her Majesty's Theatre, on Tuesday evening, with their presence. The Prince and Princess Augustus of Coburg, with their family, have left Buckingham Palace for the continent. Her Majesty will re-visit Osborne, Isle of on Saturday next (this day). The South-Western Railway Company have received orders to have a special train in readiness by half-past ten a.m. on the above day to convey her Majesty and tbe Court to Gosport.

is currently reported that the Queen has withdrawn her patronage from the French Plays at St. James's. Lord Afred Paget (Clerk Marshal,) has relieved Colonel the Hon. C. B.

Phipps in the duties of Equerry in Waiting to Her Majesty, and Colonel Seymour has relieved VVi one Bouverie in the duties of Equerry in Waiting on Prince Albert. The Prince of Prussia honoured the Royal Italian Opera with his the of Kent Her Majesty's Box. His Royal Highness was accompanied by the Prince Lowenstein and Capt. de Boyem Ashworth and Major Macdonaid have Ul6 honour of presenting to her Majesty a bottle of water the river Jordan, accompanied by other waters from the sacred spots in Palestine, obtained during their recent travels in Syria, which her Majesty was pleased graciously to accept. The Orleans Count and Countess de Neuilly, with the members of their family circle, remain in tbe strictest retirement at Claremont.

Nothing can exceed 'he plain and unostentatious manner in which the household the illustrious exile is or.iered. the most rigid economy being observable in all its arrangements. The Duke de Nemours, the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and the Prince and Princess de Joinville, came to town to pay a visit to Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, yesterday week. They returned to Claremont at five o'clock. The Count de Neuilly has been in town more than once during the past werk.

On Tuesday he called at Buckingham Palace to make irquiries after Her Majesty's health. The Duke de Nemours come 9 to town and during his recent visits has called on his relative. Prince Leopold of Naples, the Belgian Minister, and several others. Count de Jarnac remains in close attendance upon the ex- King, visiting Claremont frequently. The Belgian Minister has also paid his respects to the Count several times lately, fhe Count and Countess de Neuilly, since their arrival at Olaremont, have received visits from a great number of their old and personat friends.

The following gentlemen have made themselves voluntary exiles with the ex-King, and remain witb tho family at Rumigny, General Dumas, as, General d'Houdetot, M. Vatout, the ex-King's librarian, and Dr. Pigache, physician to the exiled family. Tbe Countess Montjoie remains in attendance on the ex-Queen. Not the least to be pitied in connexion with the illustrious exiles are the male and female attendants who fled with the members of the ex-royal family from the Tuileries.

Many of these had been in the service for years, during which time they had, of course, amassed considerable property in presents and other things, but, of which not the value ot a single stiver was saved by any one of them.

A good arrival of Wheat; a good proportion is Inferior old, and of new only a moderate show ot samples. tbe trade greatly influenced by the depressed state of the manufacturing districts, and consequent reduced consumption, is very dulland inactive; the prices last week were, from the limited business done, generally of a nominal character; we reduce the quota ions UtoM further, but at this decln there is more disposition to purchase firm, and quite as dear.
