Shortly after twelve o'clock yesterday, a peat number of the elite of this city and its environs as sembled on the jetty at Kingstown, to witness the arrival of the Earl and Countess of St. Germans, who were expected to arrive about that hour from Holy head. From the lauding-place to the railway steam a . passage was formed by companies of the 52nd Re giment, under the command of Major Campbell ; and a troop of Horse Artillery, with fonr guns, was also in attendance. A special train arrived from Dublin with the royal carriage attached, and the following members of the viceregal staff a- d household, via.: —Lord Dunaellia, state steward ; Major Begot, comptroller of the household; Captain Felton Hervey, master of the horse; Captain Cunt, Hon. W. H. Hut chinson, and Captains Wombwell and Fraser, aides de-camp ; Gear L'Estmoge, Esq., chamberlain : and Captain Wi llie, gentleman usher. The Dean of the Chapel Royal, Dr. Hatchell, and Colonel Dyley, also arrived at the same time. _ _ _ It soon became manifest that the rough state of the Channel must have detained the vessel beyond the expected time, and it was not until half-past one that the Prince Arthur bore in sight. At a quarter past two the mid rounded the pier, and royal salutes were tired in succession from the guns on the jetty, from the kit. George:, Yacht Club-house ' and from the revenue cutters in the harbour, all the shipping being decked in their full display of co lours. . . . At twenty minutes past two o'clock the steamer was abreast of the pier, and their Excellencies were received and conducted to the station by A. B. Kane, Esq., chairman of the .Dublin and Kingstown Rail way; W. Haughton, Esq., deputy chairman; Alder man Roc and George Pun, directors; James Pim, Esq., treasurer; T. F. Bergin, Esq. ; B. 1). Gibbons, Esq., engineer, Their Excellencies were re ceived with every mark of respect by the assembled multitude, and having taken their seats in the royal carriage, which was in waiting for them, they were conveyed into town in 10 minutes. The Prince Arthur steamer left the harbour almost immediately after depositing its noble freight, for the purpose of resuming its station at Holyhead, which post it bad quitted at 10 o'clock (London time) on that morning, the delay in the passage being attri butable to adverse winds and foggy w•-+ther. The reception of his Excellency by the people who thronged the line of procession was exceedingly cor dial, if not enthusiastic. The weather, which had cleared up in the early part of the day, was bright and cheerful, and the scene was one altogether gra tifying and satisfactory. An estate in the county of Monaghan, belonging to Mr. Joseph Whiteitt, was sold yesterday in the Incumbered Estates Court for an amount equal to 213 years' purchase on the nett rental. The, nett yearly rent yielded by the estate was 6661. 16s.

The railway market was again very heavy today, mainly in conseguence of very unfavourable reports relative to the dividends. Great Western Stock fell to 03,1, London and North Western to 1164, and the depression extended, more or less, to all shares, espe cially the speculative descriptions. The decline was followed by purchases, partly on Liverpool orders and a rally ensued which was fairly sustained to the close. Compared with the last prices of yesterday, however, the closing rates show a fall of 21. in Great Western ; it. in Manchester and Sheffield, Norfolks, North Western, and Bristol and Exeter, and 10s. in most of the other large stocks. 1111711011 AT NMI PIMA -131170411 . _L0AD CAXPAILL ARA ;SPACIAL JUST. MACIISATH v. VISCVVNT FILANILVOILT. This was an action brought by the plaintid'againat Lord Frankfort for libel, arising out of the series of infamous letters, in which the name of the plaintiff had been used by Lord Frankfort, and which formed the subject of in quiry and indictment resulting in the noble defendant being Inuit' guilty, and sentenced to 12 months imprison ment in the House of Correction, and which he is now on- . - dergoing Sir F. Tl , esiger and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plait tiff, and the Attorney-General for the defendant. On the jury being sworn, Mr. Hawk= briefly opened the pleadings, and stated the lib•L Sir P. Thesiger said he wan happy to say that this un fortunate case on the part of the defendant had been placed in the hands of his learned friend the Attorney-General, and thejary would be spored the trouble of going into the case, as it Fad been arranged that his learned friends on the part of Lord Frankfort, would apologise fur having made use of the name of the plaintiff, and con•ent to a verdict being entered fur the plaintiff, with 2001. damages. The Attorney-General briefly said he had also to naps, tulate the jury on the course that bad been arranged be tween the parties, and he was instructed to state that Lord Frankfurt regretted the course he had pursued, and con sented to the verdict being entered for the amount stated by his learned friend Sir F. Thesiger. Lord Campbell said it was a most wise and satisfactory arrangement, and he felt that Lord Frankfort at the time of wr.tieg the letter must have laboured under a species of insanity, and he should feel it his duty to recommend the case to the crown as one deserving of mercy. Us 'sr, then formally returned a verdict for the plain ' tiff.— 201:14 THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocir. The railway nariiei is decidedly firmer to day, and a rally is observable in most of the leading stocks. London and North Western has recovered to 118: ; Lancashire and Yorkshire to 76i; and Caledonian to 811.

Exchequer Bills maintained yesterday's price of 60s. to 68s. prem. Is the foreign heave there was almost a cessation of business, this market being very dull. Spanish steaks were rather better, and Granada Deferred rallied slightly, but Mexican and Turkish scrip are heavy. The total sales of the day are embraced in the fullowiog, viz. :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1021. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 971, 1. Granada Deferred Bonds, 11, 1.

This is the 4th of the month, when a large mass of produce and other bills falls due, so that the demand is probably temporary only. . The dividend on the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick Railway is officially announced at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, with a surplus of 12,0001. Australian Agricultural shares were again lower to-day, closing 225 to 230. South Australian Land fell 21. There was also another fall of 11. in the shares of the South Australian Banking Company. Those of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, on the other hand, were firmer. There were likewise dealings in the shares of the London and West minster Bank, at 36, 4 ; Oriental Bank Corporation, 46 ; Canada Company, 55 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 871, 86; ' • Scottish Australian Investment, 11. paid, 3.

The third annual meeting of the North British Bank was held today, when a dividend was an nounced for the last half-year at the rate of six per cent per annum on the paid-up capital. An addition has also been made to the reserve fund, which now amounts to 7,5001., or equivalent to 16 per cent. on the paid up capital. The directors stated that from a regard to one of the main pur poses of the institution—namely, to induce parties previously unaccustomed to banking to make deposits and keep balances at their credit, they con sidered it right to continue to allow the same rates of interest as had been announced at the beginning, notwithstanding the lower rates of money ruling during the half-year. The sums thus paid by the bank consequently show a progressive increase, being in 1830, 4,4361. ; in 1831, 9,6011.; and in l' 52, 13,3941. The number of accounts open has corre -1 spondingly augmented, being 4,411, against 3,994 last year, and 2,989 in 1831. This report, as evinc ing the continued prosperity of the bank, and an increasing business, was received with satisfaction. A new Belgian railway . is stated to be in c inrse of projection. The line in question is intended to sonnect with the state railway the towns of Then'. sad Spa, together with the neighbouring well-popu lated districts. The total length of the line will be only 43 kilometres, or 21 leagues. The calculations 1 the promoters, which aro stated to be founded on official returns, show a very high rate of profit, arising from the transport of passengers, agricultural produce, and materials to be used for manufacturing The capital is fixed at 2,500,000 francs r1007:07 . 1.), in shares of 230 francs (101.) each. The quotations of stooks at Amsterdam on Thurs day are thus reported by Mr. Renter's telegraphic express :—Dutch Four per Cents., 951; ditto 1 wo and-a-Half per Cents., 641. Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., 22 15-16. Mexican New, 23 9-16. Por tuguese New, 381. The Spanish Committee's Certi ficates, 4 15-16. At Vienna on Thursday the Five per Cent. Metallica were quoted 94 5-16, and Ex change on London, 10.57. This last quotation shows la further rise. _ _ _ In the market for foreign exchanges to-day there was scarcely any alteration in the rates, the only feature being a greater supply of bills on Hamburg, and rather more request for paper on Amsterdam. This market, to which great attention is at present directed, consequently maintains the stationary posi tion which it has preserved since the Bank of Eng land raised its discount rate.

By to-day's advice., the price of gold at Hamburg is 426 per mare, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.51; and the exchange at Hamburg on London, at short, being 13.31, it follows that gold is about 1.03 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. According to to-day's accounts, the course of ex change at New York on London for bills at sixty days' sight is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally o.33;per cent. against. England. After making allowance for difference of Interest and charges of transport, we find that the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States, nor on the export of the metal from this side.

For some time past conbiderabie apprehension has been created among the inhabitants of detached houses in the neighbourhood of Shoreham, by a series of daring burglaries which have been perpetrated almost weekly for some time past. About a fortnight ego the house of Mr. Bridger, a gentleman residing near Shoreham, was entered by burglars during the eight, and a quantity of eatables and a pair of gaiters were stolen. Three or four times within the last two mouths the house of the Rev. Mr. Wheeler has also been entered, and edibles and wearing apparel have been stolen upon each occasion ; among other things, a neekerchit f belonging to that gentleman's butler. Yesterday morning, between 2 and three o'cl , elt, the house of Mr. Brilger au again entered. Three servants were at the time • • g up, well armed, a precaution which has been taken nightly ever since the first robbery was committed, a fortnight since, and, a noise being heard to proceed from the pantry or milk-house at the rear of the premises, the servants proceeded to the spot. They there found that the door had been locked by one of the other servants, and the key taken away, and they were unable to enter the room ; but there were twe window holes in the top of the door, one of the panes of which had been removed fur the purposes of ventilation, and the 'cr emate were thusenabled to see what was going on inside. They saw a man in the room in the act of taking some thing from a cupboard, and t'my immediately called apart him to der, telling him that if he did not do so they would fire. Receiving no answer, one of the m eants fired, but without effect. He was again told that unless he surrendered he would be fired upon. He re plied in a tone of derision, " Oh!" and immediately made for the window by which ho bad gained admittance to the room, and was making his way out, when he was fired upon a second time by two of the party. An alarm was then given in the house, and the thief, who had effected his escape through the window, was found lying on the ground, about six yards from the window, dead, the shot having taken effect a little above the hip, on the right side. Dr. Carter, 01 Shoreham, was speedily upon the spot, and he gave it es his opinion that the man might have lived ten minutes atter he had received the shot, and that he bad then died from internal hemorrhage. The liteyning constable, Mr. Poiney, having arrived, despatched at eine a message to Mr. Chase, chief lacer of the Brighton police, who, upon reamiuieg the premises, found that the thief had attempted an entrance at the same spot at which the house was entered a fortnight since, but, iron ben having been placed there, a second place was tried with like effect, and the entrance was at last effected through the window of the milk-house or pantry. It is sup posed the man bed the satistaece of confederates in getting from the window. On esamining the body he proved to be a fine, well-built young man, about 25 years of age, and had in his pocket a huge life preserver. On his feet were the gaiters stolen a fortnight ego, and round his neck the neckerchief of Mr. Wheeler's servant. NAVAL ADMIRALTY, FEB. 4.

FRIDAY The English stock market was morn ing, the intelligence of a lower exchange from New York, amongst other circumstances, having an unfa vourable effect ; but there was subsequently a slight rally, which was assisted by the receipt of higher quotations from to-day's Paris Bourse, and the mar ket left off the same as yesterday. The railway mar ket was severely depressed during all the earlier part of the day, and, although the afternoon also wit nessed a rally in this department, the closing prices are yet considerably below those of yesterday, especially for Great Western stock. The report is very current that this company will not be able to divide at the rate of 4 per cent. for the half-year. It was also still more confidently repated that the London and North Western dividend, as we had originally hinted, will not be more than 5 per cent., with a balance of some 90,000/. to add to the reserve.

The continued downward movement in the stock of the precious metals is the most interesting feature in this return, but the decrease had been anticipated and already explained by us. The decrease in the "other" or private securities would tend to show that the Bank, so far, has not gained much by rais ing the rate of discount; whilst the falling off in the private deposits may be taken as indicative of an increased demand for money amongst the general public. The falling off in the amount of government securities held by the institution is not great, but the course of this item is sufficiently evident. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK. The English stock market opened at yesterday's rates, but more firmness has since become apparent, and the various departments of the house now ex hibit an improved appearance.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. WEEKLY SUMMARY OF TUE PRODUCE It ARKETS. MINCING-LANE, SATI'RDAYMORNING. The colonial markets, which have been only moderately supplied, have been charactised by quietness during the week; prices generally have been maintained. The sales of Sugar have gone off steadily, and for the ci fining sorts very full rates have been paid ; there has also been a fair demand. for the grocery kiuds. The Dutch Trading Company have declared fur sale, on the 10th proximo, 30,323 baskets Java. There has been very little inquiry for Coffee, and the few sales made do not show any alteration in value. The Dutch Trading Company have advertised for sale on the 14th and 17th proximo, 340,661 bags Java. The quarterly Cinnamon sales, which were held on the 31st ultimo, went off at a de cline of about 2d. per lb. upon let and 2nd qualities, 3rda brought former rates. Large Bala of black Pepper have been held, chiefly damaged, for which full prices have been paid.. Rice is fiat, and sales have been made privately at lower rates. The Tea market continues firm, with a good amount of business doing. The public sale of yesterday passed off well, and a good proportion was sold. TALLOW MARKET THIS DAY. The market is flat, and price, look still downwards, though there is rather less inclination to force sales. Town Tallow is quoted 44e. nett cash ; Petersburg Y.C. on the spot, 445. ; January to March, 43.. 6d. ; October to Decem ber (new), 435. 6d. to 435. 9d.

Mr. E. J. Davis reports the trade dull, at the following quotations :—Prime meadow Hay, 711 s. to 845.; inferior. 655. to 755.; Rowan, 451. to 605. ; Clover, 90s. to 1005.; second cut, 70.. to 67.. 6d. ; Straw, 265. to 301. COVENT GARDEN.-THIS DAY. The market is still well supplied with Vegetables, but table Pears and hothouse Orapes continue scarce. The former are almost entirely confined to Beurre Rance of but second-rate quality. The supply of Pine Apples is pretty well kept up. A. few forced Strawberries have made their appearance. Apples are getting scarce. Cob and other Nuts are realising fair pries. Both Seakale and Rhubarb are now tolerably abundant, and Asparagus is becomitig more plentiful and good. Potatoes have not altered in value since our last report. Mushrooms are scarce. Cut Flowers consist of Heaths, Primulas, early Tulips, Roses, Migno- nette, and Camellias. METALS.—Mr. Hants's circular states that the iron market has remained without any material alteration this week. Rails continue to be largely inquired for, and the future prospects of this description of iron are very good, but owing to the present scarcity of ship-room, many orders are kept out of the market. Welch bars meet with mode rate demand. In Staffordshire the makers continue well supplied with orders at current rates. Scotch pig iron has been rather easier this week ; a good quantity has changed bands during the week at tils.6d. to GOs. per ton immediate cash. The market is quiet at the latter price, but opera tors entertain hopes of a speedy re-action, especially from the rumoured probability of a reduction of duty in France, an event which would give the British iron market an im mense stimulus. Spelter has been in ge at request. A large amount of business has been done this week at ad vanced prices, as high as 211. 10s. on the spot is reported to have been paid, end holders anticipate much higher rates. Copper, owing to its scarcity, has been advanced 2d. per lb. for manufactured, and 181. 10s. for tile, making the price of tile and tough cake 12G1. per ton. Lead is steady and in good request.

The very clever piece in which he made his first appearance on Monday evening, "En Monsieur qui suit lts Femmes," was repeated on Wednesday, and again last night, with un diminished applause. We enjoyed its repetition last even ing still more than its first performance, being able to observe more minutely the many nice strokes of art which give richness, and a certain degree of refinement; Ravers humour, even in the broadest and most farcical scenes. This little comedy, too, is an admirable example of the completeness with which even the lightest pieces are got up on the French stage. There is nothing careless, nothing slovenly ; even the most subordinate parts are acted with care and intelligence ; and in the scenes, coeturnes and all the arrangements of the stage, everything is in such excel lent keeping that the illusion is most lively, and the repre sentation assumes almost the air of reality. Without any disparagement of our own theatres and their management, we may say that every one of them may, in some particulate, take good lessons from the little troupe at the St. James's. In other particulars the French stage is lees exemplary. An English audience would never !vote patience with such last lt a piece as that which commenced last night's entertainment Diviser pour regner "—mere insipid talk, without story o b r ein s g ub r j e ec p t r , od h u r ed on h r er o e r , t v h i a v i sc i i t ty p . lea N g V e e d S i: l/gr a from t ; but night it was received with the most frigid indifference. Nor is the Calais Royal flavour, with which a certain class of pieces are sometimes pretty highly seasoned, quite agree able to our English taste. The concluding vaudeville of last night," Tambour hat t ant," in which Ravel appeared, was not long since brought oat in an English dress at the Lyceum, Ravers part of course being played by Charles Mathews ; but the free and easy style of the original—especially in the part of the chambermaid, • coarse sort of "Mk du regi ment," who smokes, drinks, and swears like a trooper—was considerably softened down. Du reale, the performance of Ravel, which was as like as possible to that of Charles Mathews, produced a good deal of laughter ; hut the piece, as a whole, received no great applause. The home was full, and the boxes had a fashionable appearance. 61. 4, M. Ml
