LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MIS DAY, /bur o' Clock. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received the despatches of our Path cor respondent of last night. The paragraph of the royal speech referring to the reform banquets continues to be the subject of lively discussion in all circles, and it is felt that the greatest delicacy and circumspection will be necessary in shaping the reply to it in the ad drew M. Guizot has been already sufficiently alarmed by the manife,tions of opinion on this subject to qualify in the bureaux and in political circles the sense of the para graph, and not a little discordance has ensued between him and his adherents on the subject. The reply on the address will be in most measured and cautious terms, the great object in high quarters being to prevent any debate on the point. Notwithstanding the apparent firmness assumed by the king throughout the last solemnities over the remains of his old companion and friend at Dreux, he is shaken—eonsiderably shaken, and more seriously so by the strong effort to suppress his natural feelings before his family and the public. Lord Normanby was confined for some days by the influenza, but is convalmeent. Lieut.-Colonel Lheureux, orderly officer of the minister of war, has left Paris with despatches, it is said, relative to Abd-el-Kader. A long account appears in several of the opposition journals of a scene which in stated to have token place on Wednesday et the hotel of the minister of public instruction, at a reception held on the occasion of the new year. The account states that, in place of com pliments, the reception presented a scene of great re crimination ; and that sixty professors expressed their determination to bring before the Chamber of I)cputies, by means of a petition, the circumstances of a differ ence which exists between the honourable minister and the royal council of the University. The Djinecratie Parifique announces that the lec tures which M. licheiret intends delivering this season are to be published weekly. A letter of the 27th ult., from Algiers, states that the submission of Abd-el-Kader was announced there by salvos of cannon. The city was illuminated at night, and the central commissary of police went to the theatre, and made known this important event to the audience, who received the intelligence with enthu siastic cheers. The" Marseillaise" was called for and sang on the stage, the whole of the audience joining in the chorus. So far as the experiment has yet been tried, the mid-day mail from London has proved almost useless at Path. In no instance have the letters arriving by it been delivered till a late hour in the afternoon, and generally those despatched by the mid-day and evening mails are delivered together. Perhaps there may be more regularity when the organisation has been worked a little longer, but the truth is French officials are unaccustomed to this degree of expedition.

The question of the confiscation of the property of the Prince of Peace was brought before the chamber, but adjourned, at the desire of the Mi nister of Finance, to give time to inquire into the affair. The accusation against M. Salamanca was laid on the table, signed by MM. Tidal, Schots Lo gone, Rios Roses, Gonzales Bravo, Gonzales Romero, and Gonzalo Marou. The chief grounds of charge against the ex-minister are the affair of the Aranguez Railway, the negotiation with Ar doin and Co., the conversion of the royal claims into Three per Cents., and the affair of the contraband trade with Alicant. The proposition was referred to a committee, by whose decision it will be determined whether there are grounds for an investigation. If the committee decides in the affirmative, M. Sala manca will then present his defence to the Chamber. The subject will then be again sent before the com mittee charged by the Chamber with making an official report upon it. The money stolen from the bureau of the sinking fund amounts to 25,000/. sterling. The (I , tumr PoMico has the following rather mys terious paragraph: "New differences have arisen be tween General Cordova and the Duke de Rianzares, and are the subject of general conversation in all the most distinguished circles of the capital. Many per sons profit by this opportunity to express (very un )ustly, we think) doubts of the courage of the Duke." New Ycar's-clay being kept as a holiday, there was no Bolas. THE BISHOP OF lIEREFORD. CoNernmArrox of Dr. Damp(len will take place on Tuesday next, at 11 o'clock a.m., the commission for that purpose baring been issued by his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury. The following letter from the Bishop of Rochester appears in the Church and State Gazette of yesterday: "TO IllE EDITOIL OF THE CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE.' "Danbury Palace, Jana 4, Oxford cor respondent ought to obtain more correct information, and not allow himself to indulge in slander and unfounded insi nuations. "My son had not taken a degree at the university, and had, therefore, no vote to give either tor or against Tract DO. "I hale no daughter married to Lord Campdcn. The charge I delivered to my clergy in the year 1841 ought to have been sufficient to satisfy any candid mind of my dis approval of tractarian doctrine. I chtl nut state, in the House of Lords, that there was a general unanimity among the clergy of my extensive diocese on this subject. What I did my was, that there was a ytheral and almost Ilhaitidlo•l3 disupprcharion of the appointment of Dr. Hampden to the see of Hereford. " I ant equally opposed to the two extreme parties by which our church is unhappily divided ; and I may also add, to a third party, the Latitudinarians. Mr. tireenlaw entertains the same views as I do, or I Mould not have placed him in so important an office Is that et my examining chaplain. lam entirely averse to a disruption of the union between church and state, which I consider essential to their safety and preservation ; but I am of opinion that the supremacy of the crown, in the appointment of a bishop, ought to be exercised with greater m whom and discretion than has been evinced in the selection of Dr. Hampden for so important an other. My objection to that appointment was founded on the grave condemnation of his writings by the Univenity of Oxford, in which, at the time, I fully concurred,considering his " Bampton Lectomt" were the result of an unwise and dangerous tampering with theological speculations, calculated to mislead the ignorant, and to unsettle the minds even of the better informed. I (*snot for ;;;enient object to the TecentPeuleC4on --- 4 hie bath which Dr. Hampden has published in hi, letter to Lord John Russell. It would hare been weil if the re- / 1 . floatation or explanation of his former writinp had 4, e made at en earlier period; for it must be remembered that, in his correspondence with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Hampden declared that he had nothing to retract or explain. It is singularly unfortunate, both for Lord John Russell and for Dr. Hampden, that amongst the many sovereigns who have ruled over these kingdoms, and the innumerable ministers by whom their councils have been directed, the prudence of the exercise of the supremacy of the crown, in the appointment of a bishop, hu never before been publish called in question by the almost unan i mous opposition of the great body of the clergy, for the statement is wholly unfounded that it has arisen from one party in the church ; although they may have manilested a greater de. pee of interest on the subject then the others whose religious opinions are less strongly marked. " I am your obedient servant, " H. ROCIIESTER." Upon the preceding letter tho editor makes the following observations: " We insert a letter from the Lnrd Bishop of Rochester, complaining of some inaccuracies in the acoount given by a correspondent of Tractarian influences in his lordship's diocese. Our correspondent has explained that it was not the Marquess Camden, who is connected with the Murray family, but Lord Cumpden, a eon of Lord Gainsborough, to whom he intended to refer. On another point, however, we believe our correspondent will be found to be correct ; as, on reference to the Oxford Calendar, of 1844, a son of the Bishop of Rochester appears as a Master of Arts in the University for that year; and, as the cue of Mr. Ward, with which the attempt to procure the condemnation of Tract 90 was contemporaneous, did not occur till 1844, his lordship will perceive that there was no inconsistency in supposing that hi. son acted with the Tractarian party en that occasion. His lordship's words are: 'My son had not taken a degree at the University, and bad, therefore, no vote to give, either for or against Tract 90.' His lordship must refer to some other son than our correspondent speaks of; or must imagine that Tract 90 was proposed for con demnation at the time of its publication." CONFIRMATION OF TIIE 11181101' OF MANCHESTER. The confirmation of the Rev. James Prince Lee, who was some time since appointed to the b:shopric of the newly-appointed diocese of Manchester, took place this day, in St. James's Church, Piccadilly. The proceedings excited the greatest attention, on account of it bring generally known that Mr. Guttridge (against whom the bishop elect a few weeks since obtained a criminal information) intended to oppose the proceedings. The ceremony was ;informed ny Sir John Dodson, Knight, the Queen's Advocate, and Sir John Boyder, who were the commissioners appointed by his Grace the Archbishop of tho Province. Shortly alter elertn o'clock tl:c commissioners entered the church, followed by the bishop elect end the officials en gaged in the proceedings. Mr. Outtridge entered at the same time. The preliminary business haring b,en disposed of, the proclamation, calling upon opposers to WM.., forward, was read; upon which, Mr. Guttridge said: I oppose these proceedings. Sir John Dodson: Upon what groun d s ? Mr. Guttridge : That the proceedings aro not legal unless they are conducted in the province of York ; and I also beg to hand in a statement of charges against Mr. Lee. Sir John Dods We cannot allow your opposition, sir. We attend here, as commissioners from the Lord Archbishop, for the purpose of confirming the election, and we decide that your opposition is not legal. Mr. Guttridge : You will allow me to place those papers upon the table. The usual oaths were was completed. 1, and the confirmation SPECIAL COMMISSION, COUNTY OF LIMERICK. (ntom OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) LIMERICK, TUVIU+DLY. The judges took their seats on the bench this morning at half-past nine o'clock. The Court was crowded to inconve nience for a long time previonaly, it being known that the convict William It3au (l'uck) would be brought up for sentence.. . . [Patrick Bourke, who was given in charge at a late hour on Wednesday evening, for appearing in arms and attacking the dwelling-house of Christopher Millar, was found guilty and sentenced to transportation fur life. The defence was an alibi.] SENTENCE ON TIIE CONVICT RYAN. Wallets Ryan, convicted of the murder of John Belly, was brought up for sentence. The derk of the court haring read the record o f conviction, and put the usual question, if the prisoner had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pro nounced upon him according to law, the prisoner, in a clear voicelend firm tone, replied—l have, my lord. lam a person of this age, and I waste ver arrested for a gun or pistol in my life, and, though I am here now, I always laboured and " indus teed" honestly for my bread, what my prosecutors did not ; but they arc 'dwelt , stealing geese and sheep through the country. I hope the judge and jury will look to an honest person found guilty for nothing at all. I have that cha racter to get, i never was arrested for anything since I was born, until I was taken on this charge, and I never did anything out of the way. If lam to die I expect that your lordship and the gentlemen of the jury will get me buried with my parents. Thank God, I am Innocent of the charge. I hope your lordship will give me that one request—l only want to be buried with my parents; that's all I have got to say.—My prosecutor, did not tell a word of truth ; they didn't look at me straight in the face; I saw their hearts beating behind their hacks with the dint of per jury. I was always honest and industrious, and now it has come to this that I must die for this charge. My only re quest is, that the judge will be so kind as to let me be buried with my parents. I expect that from them—that's all I have to say. The judges then put on their black ceps, and The Lord Chief Baron proceeded to pass sentence. Ile said, if anything could increase the horror of the dreadful scene which now, as far as you are concerned is coming towards a close, it is the hearing of those words which you have suf fered to fall from your lips. After an investigation as full, as patient, and as complete as was ever presented to the consideration of a court of justice—you have, upon evidence of the clearest character, by a jury impressed with no convic tion and clouded by no doubt, been found guilty of the dread ful crime with which you stood charged. That you are guilty of thaterime not a human being who heard the trial can entertain a particle of doubt—one moment of hesitation as to the pro priety and truth of that verdict. And now, when you stand convicted of that crime—that crime that, from the period when the son of our fleet parents had set upon him the mark of a brother', blood to the hour at which I am now address big Ton —that crime from which the human heart has ever recoiled with horror—it is lamentable to think that, after a night's reflection, you should think in an open court of jut lice of denying your guilt. Proved it has been, clearly . and beyond the possibility of doubt. And what is that crime ? Dreadful it is in the abstract; but in your case, sur rounded with circumstances such as seldom have been presented to the horror and execration of mankind. A man of your own elate of life— a farmer, resting from the labours of the day—sits in his cottage; surrounded by his family, and at his own board—his nephew, a boy, seated at one side of him—his niece, a girl of early age, at the other— his children in the room—his wife, their mother, oecupied in a little act of motherly attention, washing the feet of one of those infante, preparatory to putting the children to bed. That man is sitting in his chair, in that scene of blips, when you enter the dw lling-house with a blunderbuss, charged with eleven balls—you approach him—you place it within a few inches of his back, and in the presence of hi. wife and children you shoot him dead. You saw before you—for he saw you—the boy who looks up taw you, and identified you. That boy was in the direction where you were firing, and you incurred the risk of a double murder, and nearly perpetrated the two, for some of the ball, that penetrated the body of your victim reached the boy, and inflicted wounds upon him. Is it possible to conceive an assemblage of circumstances uniting in themselves so much the character of that horror which belongs to the crime of murder as those proved in detail in the tragedy exhibited in yesterday's trial. That is the character of your crime es it affects society—es it is to be regarded in reference to the laws intended for its protection. But, good Clod ! what is the character of the crime which you have committed, when measured in reference to your duties, and to that unhappy man's liabiltties in the sight of his Maker. Without prepara tion—without warning—with all his sins—if he had any, unthoughtof upon him—you send him, without the means of one moment's reflection or repentance, before the judg ment-seat of God. Such is the crime of which you have been proved guilty. Thero are circumstances con nected with that crime upon which it is impossible that I should forbear to remark. It was characterised by circumstances of daring and ',audacity such as hare sel dom been exhibited is the perpetration of even such a crime as this. It was committed on the 22nd September. Upon the 17th S, ptember—five days before, you had at tempted the commission of a similar crime—you had attempted the life of the brother of the man whom you afterwards succeeded in slaying. You were upon your attempted escape from justice. You knew, and must have known, that the officers of justice were in pursuit of you—in the neighbour hood of your residence, and in the neighbourhood of the scene of the former outrage, in which you wounded, but fortunately did not kill, your intended victim—at an early hour in the evening, with the officen of justice in pursuit of you. Yon enter a dwelling in which resided a number of persons to whom you knew you were known, and there perpetrated the deed in the manner I have der-celled. What could have encouraged you so to commit that deed i Murder is often committed under circumstances in which the party may hope to escape detection in the silence and d trknea of the night—in the soli tude of a lonely road—away from the presence of wit nesses, or in the presence of witnesses to whom the perpe trator may not be known. But what could have prompted you to enter a dwelling, to several in which you were perso nally known ; what dreadful—l must characterise it by that name—what dreadful sense of impunity, arising from a hope that those who saw and knew you would be afraid to come forward in a court of justice and prove your guilt; and in part you were near succeeding. It transpired upon the trial that one at least of the persons who knew you, and who was able to prove you as the criminal, did, upon the first occa sion, under the influence of terror, not only refuse to e ' pee the truth, but actually denied it. Another , one of the & female witnesses who was examined, hesitatosd, but only for a moment, to fasten the charge upon you. When I refer to these circumstances appearing in the outrage of which you have been found guilty, I need hardly say, that they alone would have justified—they alone would have demanded, that unusual interposition of the law which by the commission under which we are sitting bas visited this country. I will not go at large into observations en the con dition of the country, as it is affected by outrages of this ;9; . effect tales, a reduction of tre. to 10e. per ton has had to be submitted to. To-day we have a heavy fall of snow, and a very winterly expect. Rape Cakes are very scarce, and much inquired for. Bones, first quality, have commanded 9.58. per ton, - . but none are now offering on sale ex.sbip. The arrivals of Linseed this week amount to about 13,609 . _ qvs., comprising 1,400 qn. from Benbain.ka ; 4,600 qrs.:from Taganrog; 2,443 qrs. from Kertch; 1,600 qrs. and 845 bags from St. Petersburg; 1,914 qrs. from Riga; and 1,230 qrs. from Memel. This supply coming principally to crushers, but little is offering on the market ; and, in consequence, rrices are well supported in the sales effected. The con sumption continues extensive, but the constant arrivals from the Black Sea keep up the stock, and check any advance in mices. We quote Black Sea, of best quality, worth 465. ; fine Petersburg, 455., down to 395. for inferior; Riga, 40s. to 41s. ; Archangel, 40s. to 41s. ; Memel and Konigsberg, fine crushing, 41s. to 433., down to 375. per qr. for inferior. A parcel of fine Danish Rapeseed has been taken at 281. per last, which about clean the market. LlNcowv, Jan. 7.—We had a small attendance at market, and the business done was at barely last week's prices. Wheat, red, 50s. to 575. ; white, Us. to 60s. Barley a dull trade, at is. decline. Oats steady, at last week's prices, 18s. to 255. Brans, new, 40s. to 445. ; old, 525. to 55e. LIVERPOOL, Jan. 7.-A limited quantity et Wheat, Oats, and Flour, with a fair arrival of Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Barley and Melt coastwise, form the chief supply of grain produce Irons those sources since Monday last ; upwards of 10,000 barrels of Flour are reported from the States, as well as 3,700 barrals of Indian Meal; and we have 400 qrs. of Wheat, with 'event cargoes of Beans from Egypt, but from the Continental ports of Europe no fresh arrivals to-day. Increased deliveries from the growers, and re-action in many ' of the leading provincial markets this week, have imparted a very dull aspect to the trade here ; in which, during the interval since Tuesday, scarcely any business was apparent. Upon a very slender attendance of local or country buyers at thes day's market, all prime qualities of English, Irish, and foreign Wheats, being still extremely scarce, were held on terms nearly equal to those of Tuesday; the damp and in ferior kinds of new, however, were 2d. per 701 b. cheaper, and every description of this pain difficult of sale. The supply of Flour from the American States, exceeding previous expectations, and the prospect of further shipments thence inducing consumers to remain on the reserve, no sales of moment were feasible, although for fresh sweet Brands 30s. per barrel would have been accepted ; whilst in the value of Irish and home-made Flour little change was per ceptible. Making Barley continued in demand, the arrivals noted below having been chiefly sold ; and 375. per qr., for the best Chevalier, i.s the price of to-day; grinding Barley and Malt remaining unvaried. Beans and Peas in limited request, and each the turn cheaper. Oats, although not plentiful, were slightly depressed in value; and Oatmeal de dined 6d. per load._ Ireland being tolerably well-supplied with Indian Corn direct from abroad, this article upon a vest languid inquiry at our market to-dav, receded full Is. per quarter, and Corn Mae, 6d. per barrel.

WIMBORNE (Donut), Jan. 7.-Trade dull. Samples of dry Wheat being scarce, there was no reduction, but for ell others a fall of from Is. to 2s. per qr. had to be submitted to. Barley was in good supply, for which business had to be done at a reduction of ls. per qr. ; in some instances even 2s. less money was taken. Beans and Peas were also obtainable at la per or. less money. CATTLE, &o.—EIRMINGITAM, Jen. 6.—There was to-day a very poor supply of almost every description of stock, but it was quite equal to the demand. Beef of supe rior quality may be quoted at a reduction of from Id. to Id. per lb. on last week's prices, while the falling off in that of an inferior description was still greater. In Mutton, good Wethen and stores reached 61d. per lb., but the sale was dull. Supply of Pigs rather short ; but the best price of well-fed bacon rip did not exceed 9s. 6d. per score. Several lots were disposed of at a lower figure; Porkers reached a trifle more, but the sale was heavy. The Pens showed a fair supply of store Pigs, but there were few purchasers, and at th e close of the market many were driven away unsold. EXETER, Jan. 7.—Again a smaller supply than usual at this season of the year. Prices remain as near as can be the same as last week.

Who was the victim in this instance? A farmer and a farmer not of the wealthiest clam Nothing can better indicate the true character of the outrages that arc now dis gracing the country,—nothing can better show that they are levelled not solely against those who possess rank and wealth. And if these crimes proceed, and be not checked by a vigor ous, prompt, and effective administration of the law, I think there is something in what has occurred in the exhibition made in the course of your trial, to show the Armen of the couutry—the claw to which your victim belonged—that not one of them can ay that his dwelling—his hearth—his family—his property—his life—are not liable to the 1-k that attiches to outrages such as that for which you have been found guilty. Tho duty now devolves upon me of pronouncing upon you the awful sentence of the law. You sent Kelly, without delay or warning, to his last account. The law will be more merciful to you. He has been summoned by your act to the presence of his Maker, without preparation. You shall have ample time to prepare your immortal soul for the presence of an offended God. Entertain not for amoment the least hope that your sentence will be averted or mitigated. So surely as the sun shall rise upon the day I em about to name, so surely upon that day you die. (Sensation.) Reflect upon it, I conjure you. Turn to God—reft ct upon your crimes. Take advantage of the time that will be allowed you—it will be short, but it will be long enough for repentance. Prisoner : I hope you will give me a long day, my lord. The Lord Chief Baron : It will be long en"ugh to seek that pardon from Heaven which you cannot get upon earth ; hut which you have only to seek from Heaven to obtain. Spend the few remaining days in the exercise of repentance and devotion, for which lon will receive ample assistance from the spiritual directors in whose charge you will be placed. Spend them, I implore you, thus, sad you may not withstanding the depth of your guilt, utd notwithstandicg what I fear from what appeared before us are the multitude of your crimes, from the God of mew, receive that mercy which you denied to your own Mow-creature. It only devolves upon me now to pronounontie &wren &teem of the law, and that sentenoe is, that having bola taken back to the prison fromwhich you were brim& here, andhaving been kept there until the 6th day of Fehr use; mgt, dual be ow that day taken to the common place of execution ' and there hanged by the neck until you are dead, and your body buried within the preciucts of the prison in which you shall be confined after your convic'ion. And may the Lord have mercy upon your soul. (Sensation.) The unfortunate culprit heard his sentence with the same calmness and apparent unconcern which characterised him throughout the trial. He remained for a few secouds in the position occupied by him during the sentence, and then, with a firm step, walked to the bark part of the dock. The prisoner was then removed, but after a short time wee ordered to be brought forward again. It wes discovered that the day named for execution (the Gth February) would fall on the Sa!ibath, and, The Lord Chief Baron again passed sentence with the same formality as before, merely changing the day from tl.e 6th to the I'th February. The court Was much crowded during the awful solemnity of passing sentence. C iiAYue us , HARI:101311N° THE CONVICT RYAN.—The COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. long paned was then called over, and, after a largo number of challeng. s on the part of the prisoner, a jury was sworn to try the case cf Frewen, charged with bring an accessory after the fact cf murder, by harbouring and conrmling in his dwelling.hoase William Ryan, then charged with, and now convicted of, the murder of John Kelly. The Attorney General stated the case for the crown, and the evidence heard in the trial of Ryan was again gone into. The only new features were the production of some witnesses to prove that Frewen won aware of the charge against Ryan at the time he harboured him, and has he heard to say ' that hi, (Ryan's) name was in the general Hue nod Cry. Mr. o'll, a ably addressed the jury for3the defence. Mr. Bennett replied for the Crown; and alter a lengthened charge front the Lord Chief Justice, the jury, without leaving the box, found the prisoner " Guilty." The Chief J ustiee passed sentence of transportation for life. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—The letters by the overland mail from India were delivered this morning. We are sorry to learn the report of the failure of another ex tensive house there or in China, or perhaps having establishments in both countries, in addition to the emulsifies before brought by the India papers. The funds became rather depressed upon the ad vices brought by the French morning mail, that the Bente. were lower at Paris.

Bills on England were, of course, out of the question ; for, even if there were drawers, no takers could be found. Mercantile business was almost entirely suspended. It is to be feared that some considerable amount of bills drawn upon firms here which have become insolvent will go back upon Rio Janeiro and Bahia, with ruinous charges of ex change and re-exchange upon them. ltvwla FU N 11S flank Stock, 191 3 per C.C.

THE "DEVIL'S OWN."—In those days (A.D. 1803), Bonaparte's projected invasion of England was the topic most mooted; and well it might, for the danger with which it menaced the country. In arming to repel invasion Erskine was not slow ; but the account of the armament is altogether so ludicrous that it must he extracted : " Of the 300,000 volunteers enrolled and disciplined, the lawyers in the metropolis raised two regiments—the 11.1.C.A., or Bloomsbury and Inns of Court Association, and the ' Temple Corps,' generally called the Own.' The command of the latter was conferred upon Erskine. Having myself served in the ranks of the former, I am not able, from personal observation, to criticise his military prowess, but I well remember we heard many stories of the blunders which he cemmittid, and we thought ourselves lucky to be under the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Cox, a warlike Muter in Chancery. While our rivals could boast of most of the digni taries of the law, and were renowned fur their ' belly gerent' appearance ; we consisted chiefly of lean students and brief less barristers, so that we were in great hopes that if we did not go into the field before the end of the campaign, fatigue alone would make great openings for us in Westminster Hall, and on all the circuits. We had drills every morn ing, and many field-days, but we never had any heeler ser vice than being reviewed by George 111. in Hyde-park, along with all the volunteers of the metropolis, on a very rainy day. Both the law corps were particularly noticed by his 'Majesty, who caused much jealousy among us of the C.A , by his particularly gracious return to the salute of Lieutenant-Colonel Erskine. Many severe colds were caught, but there was no casualty to cause any promotion in the profession, the servants of the seniors waiting for them with cloaks and umbrellas as soon as they were dismissed from the parade. Lord Eldon, in his old age, gave the fol lowing account of this spectacle : I think the finest sight I ever beheld was the review in Ilyde-park before George 111. The King, in passing addressed Tom Erskine, who was colonel, asking him the name of his corps. He answered, ' The Devil's Own.' The Lincoln's Inn volunteers always went by the name of ' The Devil's Invincibles.' Law, then Attorney-General, afterwards Lord Chief Justice Ellen borough, was reported to be a fair specimen of them ; for, even with the help of chalk, he never could be taught the difference between marching with his right or his left foot foremost, and all the time he was in the service he continued in the awkward squad." Lord Campbell slyly adds, with an rnimue which barristers only can appreciate:—" There were likewise a good many attorneys belonging to us, who brought down many jests upon us, among others, that upon the word being given " prepare to charge," they all pulled out pen, ink, and paper ; and being ordered to " charge," they wrote down Cs. Bd. or 13s. 4d. The soul of our corps was our adjutant, my poor friend Will Harrison, who with us could talk of nothing but battles, and seemed to think himself as great a military genius as Napoleon, although he talked much law at regimental messes, which he was fond of dining at, so that it was said he was a general among lawyers, and a lawyer among generals.—Campbell's Liras of the Chancellors. A NOVEL TEA-CARTV, held in the New-hall,Lcicester, is described by the local paper. Various benevolent inhabit ants of the town, headed by the mayor, subscribed to give a tea-party to those who, from age, misfortune, and honest poverty, had hitherto only heard of such gatherings. About 201. was quickly raised. The persons who distributed the tickets of admission (which were wholly free to the recipi ents) were instructed to make no distinction of sect or party. This advice, we believe, was strictly observed. " Those who were unable to walk were conveyed to and from the enter tainment in flys. The fare consisted of tea, plum-cake, bons, bread and butter, of which more than 1,200 partook! Never before was such a company gathered in the New-hall. Old men with grey hair, matrons with double-bordered cape, widows in starched weeds,' the disabled and those who could procure nothing to do, made up the assem blage that in every part crowded the room to suffocation. During the evening several ministers of the town addressed , the attentive and delighted audience. The whole passed off in an admirable manner." CLERICAL VALUATIONS. The Lincoln Ilfercnry of yesterday says : " The indefatigable M.P., Mr. Horsman, is investigating the honesty or otherwise of the returns of church property made to the ecclesiastical commissioners, and it is stated that he is prepared to make such statements as will astonish the community for the magnitude of the sup pressions and frauds which they will exhibit. During the last fortnight, a gentleman who acts as one of his agents has been at Lincoln, and has obtained much valuable informa tion, which will be laid before the House of Commons. Eiy, it is stated, h the next point for inquiry, and a line field is believed to present itself in that diocese.' A PRACTICAL HlNT.—Whilst the mayors of Boston on either side of the Atlantic are laudably and eloquently emorcing the principles of entire abstinence from intoxicat ing agents in their respective governments, the mayor of Wisbeck, with the aid of the municipal corporation, is prac tically bringing the principle to the homes of his neigh bours by plating an additional " parish pump" in the market place of the town. _,.~, ~~~~ Broccoli its plandral, sad Asparagus and Seeksle may be obtained at last week's prices.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 8 , WE must say that the official despatches on title subject of Swiss affairs, made public by the French minister, and given by the Journal des Danis, re dound very much to the honour and liberalism of our cabinet, as well as to the capacity and address of Lord PALMEIM'ON. There were three parties in this diplomatic intercourse. First of all there WWI Prince lilEtrmisten, who could not abide the pro gress of liberalism in Switzerland, and who proposed immediate interference to put it down. There was then the English government, of decidedly opposite opinions, which thought that Europe had nothing to do with the internal politics of Switzerland, and which also thought that it was the Jesuits and not the radicals who troubled the peace and tranquillity •of the Swiss. Between these two decided and opposite opinions came M. GVIZOT, representing the French govern ment, who began by being alarmed at Prince MET TERNICH% rancour and vehemence, and who opposed his ideas of interference, striving however all the time not to thwart or offend the Austrian court. The natural result ensued, which was that the sincere and zealous METTERNICH won by degrees on the vacil lating M. Geizor, till the Austrian absolutist com pletely persuaded the French constitutionalist minister to come over to his opinions and adopt them. The history of M. Gt. mor's conversion is told in these documents. In the first despatch Prince MET. TERNICII announces his horror at the change of tho Genevese government, and asks will the French recognise it? M. GUIZOT answers, that Geneva is but a canton, that the French miniAry cannot take notice of its changes. This is as far back as October, ISI6. In June of the fol lowing year, Prince MErrEnsicit is still further frightened and incensed. The canton of St. Gall has become radical, and his highness fears that there will be a radical majority is the Diet, which will expel the Jesuits. He, therefore, begs M. OCIZoT to join in at least a threat of interference, which threat will be sufficient, with the prince, to deter the liberal ma jority from putting down the Jesuits by force. M. Goizor, however, still hesitates. Should the Diet dis regard the threat, smith he, we shall be obliged to inter vene. And thisintervention M. GUIZOT still objected to. " We do not pretend," wrote M. Cum.'. then, "to con test the right of the Swiss to modify their pact, and to take with respect to themselves the measures which snit them," &c. - - _ In NoVember, however, M. GUIZOT had changed his opinions. He had then become all for mediation, and, relying on the strength of the Sonderbund—a strength created underhand by the arms and the 'rap port of France and Austria—M. Guizor proposed to settle the religious differences of Switzerland by the arbitrage of the Pope. Imagine the word arbitra f ie ap plied to the decision of the Homan catholic pontiff in a dispute between catholics and protestants. This is what the protestant Si. Gt. izor calls fair language and fair mediation. Lord PALMERSTON to this returned a liberal and just answer. His lordship told N. Grizor that his arbitrage was nonsense; but, said hie lordship, let us five powers ensure to the Swiss that the Jesuits shall withdraw, and thus we can bid the liberals abandon violent measures. Between the proposed mediation of M. Grizor, and the proposed mediation of Lord PALmnit &TON, there was an interval wide as the poles asunder. And Lord PALMERSTON rightly points out the absurdity of five powers meeting and offering to mediate in a quarrel, of which each had such different opinions. But in the mean time the Swiss Diet set its army in motion. Friburg surren dered on the 13th of November. And Al. GazoT, fear ing not only that all his own file plans of mediation would vanish into smoke, but that the few members of the Sonderbund, excited to resistance by Franco, would be severely crushed and mulcted, closed in a hurried manner with Lord PALMERSTON'S weak_ 7t ' r •? i t r - • • • • • •- • : .'ABLE.
