Oar Paris despatches of last evening have arrived, but bring no intelligence of general interest. Un favourable reports continued to circulate yesterday afternoon on the Bourse respecting the King's health, bat they could not be traced to any authentic source. His Majesty suffers from a slight cold, but is other wise as usual. The discussion on the address was continued in the Chamber of Peers yesterday up to post-hour. A petition to the Chamber of Deputies from the salt merchants of Rouen, against the new bill on that article brought in by the Minister of Finance, is now lying for signature. It represents that the prices to be paid by the government to the makers are not sufficient, and that, by reducing the duty from 30 to 20 centimes the kilogramme, it would promote the general interest.

By the arrival at Southampton this morning of the steamer Montrose, Captain It. W. Evans— Lieut. Inglis, R. N., Admiralty agent, we have news from Lisbon to the 9th. The Cortes were opened on the 2nd, in presence of an overwhelming military force, assembled for the purpose of maintaining order. Neither the British minister, the French mi nister, nor Sir Charles Napier was present at the ceremony. The Cabralists STure conspicuously on all committees. Costa Cabral is appointed ambassador to Paris, Terceira to Vienna, and Villa Real to London. There was a rumour that the government intended to decree a forced loan. We append the letter of our correspondent : LISBON, SAM. 9. Up to the very moment of the actual opening of the so-called Portuguese Cortes opinions were much divided upon the point as to whether a postponement would be proposed, even at the twelfth hour ; and the impression that a further delay would take place received additional strength when it was rumoured that Sir Georxe Seymour had, on the vesper of theday named for the meeting, drawn out and presented a formal and strong protest to her Majesty against the vali dity of the elections. In the face of this opposition, how• ever, the ill-advised and infatuated queen held firmly to her determination, and on Sunday last, the 2nd inst., the par liamentary session was opened by her Majesty in person, in a speech teem the throne, which we have already elven. Upon the termination of the speech, Her Majesty arose, quitting the hall similarly accompanied, and with the same formalities, as were observed upon her entrance. Anything approaching to a severe criticism offs speech from the throne is at all times an ungracious task, but the remark cannot fail to arrest attention in the present instance of the singular abstinence in this document of all mention of those matters, naturally supposed to be of all-engrossing attention at the conclusion of a ruinous civil war. tier majesty deals with but tw. facts ; the one, the necessity of extraonlinary resources being granted to meet the extra dietary:expenses ; and the other, the birth of two more princes. which the Portugues nation is told to look upon as a special mark of Divine favour. In the Committees appointed by the two Roams to wait upon Her Majesty, the obnoxious brothers Cabral figured conspicuously; Costa Cabral as a Pear, and Joel Bernardo Cabral as a deputy, being oetenta tiously paraded in front of the party. Her Majesty and mite under strong escort, left the Palace of the 'Neceesidades shortly rot, r mid.dav, and reached the Hall of the Cortes about one o'clock. Upon the arrival of the Royal Forty, and equally so upon return, the guns (rim Lie Portuguese Squadron and from the solitary French frigate at anchor in the Tagus, gave the customary salute, the English Beet preserving an ominous silence, nor were the English ships dressed out with their flags all was the case with the others. In the place allotted for the re ception of the diplomatic body, the feet of the absence of the British and French ministers, and of Sir Charles Napier, hes been accepted as an evidence of the repugnance with which one of the nations at least, parties to the Protocol, view the shameless breach of that faith which, " pledged to her ).)lies," was .unposed to be an ample enough guarantee for the due fulfilment of stipulations, every one of which we have witnessed so scan dalonsly templed under foot. It was contemplated ae a possi huity that in her Majesty's passage to and from the Cortes some 4tsturhance might occur, however the display of an overwhelm ing vaiiit,,ry twee who crowded up every avenue through which the royal pnerudon pawed had the effect of preserving order Au immense concourse of persons were present; and certainly if her Majesty possesses only ordinary feeling, the manner in which the was received must have been keenly wounding to sensibility. Scarcely a single vira —in fact, in the discontented looks of the people, the prof und silence, the absence of any one symptom of sympathy or of welcome, --- all might surely be in terpreted by the Queen as convincing testirno , y of the contempt and distaste with which all classes of Portuguese, excepting the Court parasites and greedy adventurers around her throne, entertain for a government sustained by rapa cious exactious, and whose only strength is in the foreign force that upholds it. On her Majesty's way back, an officer of the Lancers (I quote from toe Pa 'rioto), observing an individual in the crowd who neglected to uncover as the cortege passed, whether from rudeness or forgetfulness is not stated, very teeny raised his sabre and tried to cut him down, The blow nos partially ended but the hat of the individual cut nearly " two, remains a memento of the gallantry of an armed hero, who so va'isntly assaulted a defenceless citizen. So noon as her majesty had retired from the Cortes, the acting pmi dent adjourned the assembly until the following day. Al though the Cortes bare since then met daily, yet no business boYeald trifling discussion hem commenced from the im- Pealibilityof forming, what in England is called " a house ;" that is to say, a sufficiency of members not having reached the rteal to commence the business of parliament. In my last t Bate you to understand that it was unlikely that the bro thers Cabral could, in the face of the hostility of England, enter at once upon the ministry, and I mentioned the appoint- Brinedluildy carved out for them. In this I have been con by the publication of the decrees by which Costa Cabral is appointed ambassador to France, and the Duke of Terceira minister to Vienna. Jae Cabral's nomination to the Bnxihsn crabs op is not as yet published, but I heliese it terrain, as well as that Baron Torre de Moncorvo to be recall.' from London, and the Count of Villa Real hthstituted in his Flue ; the Duke of Saidanha, the wind Prime Minister, is mentioned as likely to take the Madrid embassy, but this is rumour. Ile first p u bli c ac t o f th e Q u ceu's Mi n istry after e ceremony of opening the Cortes was to addle se a note to ilia minarets of the th ree powers, England, France, and Spain, to the (Fret that her Majesty's government considered ' 4, provisions of the protocol to have been carried into effect, ea . 2 .. fti aeomegually eigegoessals %kg *Ma i *a re=boi Awed to =bled*. eziet.

SPECIAL COMMISSION. cOLINTY CLAM. (PitOlt 001 OWN exrowritha ENNIS, TitWOOLY. Jag. 13. At the departure of the mail yesterday, the Chief Boron was commencing to address the grand jury. His lordship spoke in the following manner: 3Lr Luies O'Brien end eteetaanama el Magma pay aC t the county Clare, the commission which you hue just. heard read by the 'officer of the court hes informed you that those to whom the executive authority of the county has been entrust,d, have deemed it right to anticipate the ordinary visitation of the law at the assizes, by issuing this special ;commission, for the purpose of trying offenders in certain counties, including the county of Clare. Proceed ings of this nature are rendered necessary from time to time, either by the multitude of offenders or the magnitude and atrocity of crime. Such proceedings are essential with a view to those objects for which the tribunals of justice are c Bled into usual operation. It is right and just, if there are men charged with crime, to give to each of them as are innocent an opportunity to free themselves from unfounded accusation, and to obtain their restoration to their ordinary pursuits, mid to tbe bosoms of their friends and families. It is essential also, when crime has raised its head, to brine at once into contact with its perpetrators the powers of the law in tended for the protection of the whole community. As a portion of the community, of which you form a part, you are now called upon to assist in the administration of justice. We have been already engaged in proceedings under this special commission—we have had sittings under and I lament to say that, it in a county adjoining yours; though we were many days occupied there in the perform ance of our duties, we have not been able to dispose of all the business, but shall hays to return to that county, in order to try other offenders. Although, for the public convenience, and to facilitate the administration of justice, that county is separated from yours—yet, whatever may be its prescriptive boundaries, it is of the umo soil as this, and the inhabitants of it form a portion of the population of the same county. I, therefore, feel bound to refer to some matters that appeared in the course of the discharge of our duties in that country, as indicating • state of things that rendered it necessary to issue this special commission. His lordship then referred to the number and nature of the outrages which had been committed in the county Limerick. Those crimes (be continued to sae)—have been, in min, instances, not committed under the cover of night, but in the open day—indicating a species of daring which often rims from a sense of continued impunity. Such is the gensval nature of the crimes that have been brought under our notice in the course of the special commission in the neighbouring county; and I lament to say that there is reason to believe that outrages similar in character—if not equal in number—have occurred in the county to which you belong. It is, however, a consolation to con sider, that they do not pervade the entire of your county. But when crime exists on the confines of our district, it seldom fails to come beyond the portals; whether it he from the contagion of crime, or from the contiguity of the district, or from causes similar, spontaneous, and concurrent, existing in the adjoining district; it rarely happens that when a county circumstanced as Limerick is in reference to yours, is found affected and disgraced by crime, the adjoining districts are not subjected to similar I outrages. And it appears so in this instance; for the calendar submitted to our inspection shows a frightful picture of the state of society in certain portions of your county. Among the crimes appears the dreadful crime of wilful murder. There are no less than eight instances of the commission of that crime • and in seven of these in stances the perpetrators have been made amenable 'Moe the last assizes. The number of persons charged in those cases accused of this dreadful crime is twenty-two. Akin to that &Cul crime is another which has occurred, and to which the law attaches the penalty of death, as much as if thou guilty of it had been the perpetrators of murder itself. To that other crime I shall have to call your attention. There are, it appears, two cases of conspiring to murder—the murders having been perpetrated, and two persons being charged with the commission of each. There is also • number of other eases in the calendar—such as attacking dwelling-houses, robbery of arms, burgl ,ry and robbery, shooting at the person, highway robbery, and other crimes effected through the instrumentality of arms; all of which show but too clearly that the portion of the county of Clare adjoining Limerick shares in the outrages for which that county has unhappily become too notorious. Gentlemen, many of those outrages have been committed for the direct purpose of controling those who are in the enjoyment of property—for the purpose of controlling them in the exercise of those rights, in relation to that property, which the law has conferred. It unquestionably does ap pear that many of thou outrages have occurred in conse quence of transactions connected with land. If the evil stopped it there would be in itself of magnitude sufficient to call for the vigorous application of all the powers of the state to put down • system of outrage by which the law is violated in order to accomplish purposes which the law forbids and condemns. But this application of the law is not required merely for the protection of the particular class whose rights are invaded, but for the protection of all classes in the commu. nity. If the rightsof any ene close in the community can be in vaded with impunity, there is, in truth, an end to civil govern ment and social order. Such state of things as that involves in it the destruction of all civil society, as it erects the sway of anarchy and violence in substitution of the government of the law. If, u I have said, the evil stopped there—if only one chstelin the community were affected by those out rages, it would be the duty of those charged with the administration of the law and the maintenance of the pub lic [peace, and who are charged with the responsibility of providing for the safety of all classes, to arrest crime in the extent to which it has made progress, even for the benefit of those who would be afterwards involved in the conse quences of more extended disorder. But, gentlemen, the evil does not stop there. It cannot—it never did—it never will. The spirit which involves the rights of one class of the community will extend to the destruction of the rights and liberties of others. It is the character, the un questionable character of outrage, if allowed to go un punished, to multiply and extend itself. Yesterday the landlord, the agent, the bailiff, employed in the enforce ment of sigh's—the process server employed in executing the process of the law, by which, according t o law, those rights are to be enforced, may have been the victim. To-day the farmer, the humble person in humble life, and who is the object of different passions, will become the victim of outrage. I have referred to the proceedings that have come before us judicially in the course of our labours in Limerick and those proceeding supply an instructive confirmation of these general truths. And to judge from the calendar, I hold in my hand, I think 1 may extend those observations to the county of Clare also. If I were to point out the class of the community who are placed in the greatest risk, who are exposed to the worst mischiefs of these outrages, and for whose protection the administration of the law is meet needed, I would point to that large clue of the people—from the wealthy occupier to the person who supports himn-lf by his industry, with a small holding, and scanty capital-1 would point to the farmers who, by their numbers, must form • large portion of the population—and who are, possibly, in the greatest ri-k, and most need protection. New, what are the in stances of outrage with respect to this claw in Limerick ? His Lordship here referred to the facts detailed on the trials of William Ryan (Puck), Renihan, and Dee, convicted of murder, and to other outrages perpetrated, and went on— Now could those outrages have taken place in the open and daring manner they did, unless there was something like • sense of impunity felt by the perpetrators, from the belief that the prevalence of the outrages would prevent their detection and punishment ? If these things be so, am I not right in saying that no class in the community requires protection from the law, or whose ce-operation is more essential for the purpose, than the class I have mentioned ? Such as you, gentlemen, who live in dwellince in which sfrom the charecter of your residences, and your means of ummoning around you your servants an d dependents— you can protect yourselves from such attacks. It is, indeed, • dreadful state of society in which it is necessary to adopt such means of protection. But the farmer it is who is espe cially exposed to three outrages; he cannot depend upon the nature of his dwelling, or the number of his servants or dependants, to protect him against the number of his assail- I note. His protection is only in the supremacy of the law. When, therefore, I say that the co operation of all cies-es in and for the suppression so cietyofoutsresheuel.dlbeacigivneontin, l ai t d hin of k th , e fa i r aw weong in saying that no class in the community should be more stimulated—not merely by a sense of duty, but by a sense of their own personal interest—to lend that co-operation with zeal, determination, and vigour, than those who belong to the class of farmers. It is impossible that crime could have been perpetrated to each an extent of that class did do their duty—and lent to the determination of the law the co-operation they ought. In some instances that co operation may have been withheld from the influence of the prevailing intimidation —in others from a lamentable but mistaken sympathy. But one thing inspires me with hope that these outrages will be put down by . the co operation of all classes. I allude to the instances in which courage was displayed in resist in g dingy the perpetrators of out rages—and not courage in t hat wa y only, but there with which men came fo rward to appeal to th , and 13TVI Prosecute the guilty parties. I believe the class farmers thesessime me that the mischief bun been allowed to proceed too far—that it is necessary at lest that they as well as others should emefer for its suppers• scion, and that they have all reeeivid the salutary lesson that, by appealing to the law, they would escape this system of tyranny, and save their families and themselves, their * liberties and property—all that is most valuable to them—from the attacks of the perpetrators of those dreadful outrages. It is, I again say, necessary that all chines is society should co-operate for the protection of those blessings conferred upon us by peace and the mainte nance of the law. It is not merely that persons are called upon by self-interest to adopt that course, but in some in stances they run great risk in not aiding the law and &mist ing in the detection of offenders. His Lordship then' referred to the case of William Prewar, sentenced to Man portation at Limerick for having harboured a felon. That man (continued his lordship) is now on his way to a place where he will be for ever separated from all those most dear to him in the world, because be had not the courage to say " no" to a felon who sought refuge in his house. I trust that may operate as a wombat; to those wbo my be called on to incur a similar risk, and. that if any person, however connected by ties or kindred, whom they know to be guilty of one of those atrocious crimes, ask them to harbour him, they will answer him by saying—" I cannot ran the risk—l will not commit the crime lest I may suffer the fate of William Frewen." The act ender which your county km been proclaimed provides that though the prin cipal It a felony has not been convicted, or even arrested, the penes who harbours him, knowing him to be charged , with a Plum, shall be prosecuted, sad, Ur:ouch:Ma, trans- I roe H*. 0 eItiIIIMMS, I theliglit it eight en make these I M e rl:nue ebeerrations On the state of mime and its feat arcs as it eoists in your county. With the causes of this state of things, or any of their remedies, you and I have nothing to do. Subjects ouch as these are not only unfit to be discussed, but to be considered on molt an occasion. Our duty,oer busi ness is to deal with the administration of the law. In our ----- -- respective spheres we are all called upon to concur in its administration, and I trust that by being vigorously admi nistered, bat in mercy, as it always is, and which is, after all, but a part of its justice, the result will be the resora tion of tranquillity and peace. Before I dismiss you to your important duties, let me call your attention to the provisions of this act of parliament I hold in my hand. It appears that some of the worst of the crimes we have had to deplore have been committed through the instrument ality of fire arms. With fire arms the gang assembled, and with firs arms those dreadful outrages have been perpetrated, of which we have heard so much. You are awes that in any district which is in a disturbed state dm appearing in arms is a highly penal offence under the Whiteboy Act. Under the other sot to which I have re ferred, the issuing of a proclamation in itself establishes the fact that a district is in that condition, and all the pro visions of the Whiteboy Act apply to it; and persons car rying arms in such district, without license, are liable to be prosecuted and severely punished. Under this act also the district in which au additional force of police is sta tioned may be obliged to contribute such portion of the ex pense as the government may deem advisable, thus imposing on the disturbed district a penalty for the outrages that may be committed in it. Gentlemen, I will not detain you by referring to other provisions of this law, as they have already been referred to by the Chief Justice in his address to the grand jury in Limerick—an address which, I dare say, there is not one of you who has not perused, and derived information on all thee* points from it. But there is one other matter to which I shall call your attention. I find that two persons are charged with the offence of a conspiracy to murder, or soliciting to murder. It Is • serious offence, but one that has not often been made the subject of investigation. Some per sons are under a mistake as to the existing law on this subject. They are under the mistaken impression that the provisions of the law relative to this offence are of as antiquated character, or are not in force now. That is • greet mistake. It is my duty to apprise you that the pro visions of this law have been long the law of the land. In 1829, when the 10th of George IV., cha 34 was passed, repealing a great number of statutes, constituting the cri minal code of the country, and consolidating the law, the law relating to the offence I now allude to, was re-enacted. (His Lordship here read • portion of the act). By that act, gentlemen, any person conspiring to murder is liable to suffer death as a felon; and every person who shall so -1 cit, encourage, persuade, or endeavour to persuade ano ther to commit a murder, is liable to the like penalty. So the act of conspiring to murder, or soliciting to murder, is punishable by the law with death, as well as if the party charged with that offence had committed the crime of murder itself. In England the law is not so severe, pos sibly owing to the circumstances of this country. It is not for me to say what may have led the legislature to adopt the course, but when at • late period, by the Ist of Victoria, chap. 85, the pepalty of death was in a number of instances mitigated to transportation ' the punishment of death for this offence was continued. It is an offence, in the inves tigation of which, with reference to the particular indivi duals charged, great caution is required. The means of proof is sometimes difficult to be obtained, but when they are, when the offence is brought home to any party by clear, undoubted, and convincing evidence, the offence is one that deserves to be severely punished, for it is one of • most atrocious character. The law, as I have already said, visits it with the punishment of death; and there has been re cently • conviction for the offence in another county. His lordship concluded with some observations upon the general nature of the duties the jurors had to discharges to the finding of bills, and the evidence necssary for that purpose. The Chief Baron having delivered his charge to the grand jury, several bills of indictment were sent up. The only other business done before the rising of the court, at balf pa.t 5 o'clock, was the arraignment of a few prisoners for attacking houses, robbery of arms, and other property. The court did not sit this morning until near twelve o'clock, in consequence of the bills not having been found before 'then in any of the murder or other heavy cases which the crown wished to proceed with first. Mennen or Mn. WATSON.—James Hayes and Patrick Ryan were placed at the bar, charged with the wilful mur der of Mr. James Watson, at Ballycorney, on the 17th of May last. The indictment also charged that John Crow and others feloniously conspired and incited the prisoners to commit the murder. The Attorney-General detailed the facts of the case, He said that the prisoners on trial were charged with the murder of Mr. James Watson, who was agent to • gentleman named Arthur, the owner of considerable landed property in this county. As such agent, it became neces sary for him to make a distraint oa the goods of a person named Crow. for non-payment of rent. It would appear from the evidence that Crow, having enter tained ill-feeling towards Mr. Watson, in coasequence of this proceeding, was induced to hire, or encourage and sti mulate these men to murder that gentleman. On the day in question, these men were seen coming from the direc tion of Crow's house towards the scene of the murder, for the purp xe of meeting Mr. Watson on his return from Mr. Arthur's house, where he was in the habit of going. The jury would probably come to the conclusion that the prisoners were two of these men, and that the third was William Ryan, whom it was not necessary to try. (This is William Ryan ( Puck), timed guilty at Limerick. and sentenced to be hanged for the murder of John Kelly.) -When they came to the road where they expected to meet Mr. Watson they separated, only two of them coming out on the road, and the other remaining on the watch. They contrived to get one of them before him, and the other behind. Immediately on seeing them Mr. Watson suspected their object, and endeavoured to ride hack to his own house ; but one of the men was before him and succeeded in stopping his horse ; upon which Mr. Watson fell. He was armed, and discharged a pistol at one of the men, inflicting a slight wound. Immediately after wards the man who stopped the horse and the other attacked and deprived him of lily. They were then joined by the third man, who had been keeping watch. Evidence of these facts would be produced, and it would be for the ury to say whether the prisoners at the bar were present on that occasion. Witnesses were then called for the prosecution. The second witness was under examination at the hour the mail left. BISHOP OF HEREFORD ELECT.

The following is a copy of a letter from the Bishop of Hereford to the Rev. It. R. Faulkner, of Havering-atte- Bower, Essex, in reply to one of congratulation addressed to his grace by the rev. gentleman: " CIIRIBT CHUNCH, OXFORD, JAN. 7, 1848.—Dear Sir, — Your warm expression of congratulation on my promotion to the see of Hereford demands my siacere thanks; the 'yelp'. thy of one who has himself stood his ground so firmly ' against a violent Tractarian assault is most welcome to mc. You did essential service by your resistance to that outrageous attempt of the Camden Society to intrude on your rights in your pariah and overbear your Christian con scientiousness. lam much obliged to you for the report you have sent me of the proceedings in that case. I shall have much satisfaction in going through it when I have leisure from the engagements which press on me at this moment. " I have had abundant matter of vexatious doings the last few weeks. But I feel more than compensated for any personal annoyance by the good which I am sure will come out of the present disturbance. The strength and designs of the Tractarian patty (the real movers throughout, whatever may be said to the contrary) will have been disclosed, and the necessity of rallying the true protestant spirit of our church will have been fully demonstrated. " I am deeply thankful to a good Providence for the course which events have taken.—l remain, dear air, yours, faith fully, R. D . HEREYORD (elect). " P.S. The Bishop of Oxford would insinuate in his letter in the Times that I have made concessions to him. I shall be obliged to you most positively to contradict any such statement should you hear it alleged ; it is not true. "To Rev. R. R Faulkner." CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 27. Yesterday the Porte sent to the representatives of the five great powers a copy of the reply of the Turkish government to the note of the Greek cabinet, lately trans mitted to them by the secretary of the Russian legation at Athens. The Turkish ministers profess themselves perfectly contented with the satisfaction offered by the governmeat of King Otbo. All the coercive measures are now virtually withdrawn; the Greek consuls have permission to resume their functions; the Greek flag is to have the same privileges as heretofon ; and in a day or two M. Museums will leave this for Athens, as minister of the Sultan at the mutt of King Otho. The representatives of the five great powers I have no other alternative than to approve of the conduct of the Porte. With the exception of Russia, however, there is but little satisfaction manifested by the diplomatic body at the manner in which this question has terrniaated. The question, as far as regard. Greece, is far from • conclusion. To produce a diversion, and at the same time to further one of his cherished projects, the agents of the Emperor are busy at this moment in getting up • revolution in Greece. As had been foreseen, everything is most favourable for such • proceeding. The Clapths and the Palicari, the most essential ingredient in a popular tumult, are far from being pleased with the peaceful turn which the misunderstanding between Turkey and Greece has appa rently assumed. Their two great moving principles, hatred lo their old masters and love of plunder, seem to them to have • bad chance of being gratified. The Clepths and Pelican include the great mass of the people ; and the other part of the population, the traders and shipowners, whose occupations had made them more peacefully inclined, have become desperate through the disaster' of the past year. The King, who was the first to raise this storm, is the one against whom it is now exclusively directed. In exciting the nod passions of his people, he looked to them for support in his blind opposition to the demands of Turkey ; and now, at the eleventh hour, he has, in the opinion of the Greeks, basely conceded to that power upon whom they had hoped to gratify at once their avarice and their hate. The public treasury is exhausted, the army mutinous, and the government disunited. The King stands alone unsympathiserl with, and unsupported. It is to bring about such a state of things as this, that Russia has been labouring for the last eleven months. La Vidette, a French man-of-war steamer, left this on the 15th inst. for Athens, with despatches from Baron de Bour queney for M. Piecatory. La Vidette is to convey hi Pied: tory to Marseille., on his way to Madrid, where he has been appointed minister plenipotentiary. The cholera has entirely disappeared from Constantinople.

Gen. Laudi has been removed from Messina and sent to command at Capua. His successor is not yet known. Other officials in Mersin* have been changed.—When Cap tain Merediti, the chief of the rebel troops at Pa tras, was embarking with his men in the boats of the Spitfire in pursuance of the convention with the foreign consuls, and by which be had consented to accept 32,000 drachmas in stead of the 60,000 which he had levied on the town, the secretary of the monarch, M. Rondopoulos, arrived with a force of 200 to 300 men, and ordered a volley to be fired on the insurgents, by which four or five were killed and 16 wounded. Some of the balls struck the boats, and Lieut. Macdonald of the Spitfire, considering the act as an indif ferent requital for the services he had rendered, entered a formal protest against the act of the Greek functionary ; the Spitfire reached Malta en the 24th ult. with 54 of the revolutionists. The Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands had refused permission for them to land at Corfu, but the Governor of Malta permitted them to land there. or Oats. • DEATH OF A MILITARY KNIGHT OF WINDSOR. — WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Lieut. G. Sicker, who was appointed one of the military knights of Windsor in February, 1538, expired yesterday morning, after a short illness, at his resi dence in the Upper Foundation, in the 81st year of his age. The deceased knight, who had seen much service, during • period of upwards of silty yews, was the adjutant of the 11th Light Dragoons at the battle of Waterloo, and accompanied Lord Macartney in his embassy to the Emperor of China in 1792. There are upwards of 150 names on the list of appi cants for the vacant appointment. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

ELY, Jan. 13.—We had a moderate attendance at our market to-day, and the supply of grain liberal. Fine dry samples of Wheat made fully the prices of last week, but damp and interior sorts were lower, and a dull sale in spring Corn. But little doing, at former quotations. - - -• Barran, Jan. 14.—We had better supplies of oorn from our farmers to-day then for any market-day since harvest. We note no alteration in the value of either Wheat, Barley, HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, Jan. 13.—Wheat, old, per load of 5 bushels, 34e. to 38s. ; new, 30s. to 341. Beans, 255. to 28a. Peas, rt. to 29..

The crushers being priucipally supplied with arrivals from the Black Sea, which had been bought to arrive, sales on the spot have been consequently curtailed, although the consumption is going on to a very large extent.

LIVEUPOOL, Jan. 14.-A change of wind, accompanied by a return of mild, damp weather, has brought in a moderate supply of the leading articles of produce from Ireland, but little coastwise, and the fresh imports from abroad are also of trivial amount, with the exception of a further good arrival of Beans from Egypt. The dull and rather declining state of the meant., of the interior continue to pre vent any engine of animation in the trade here, and, upon a most limited business, our general currency has been barely supported during the past two days. Our Cora Exchange today, being almost wholly de serted by country dealers, and our local buyers limiting their proceedings within the narrowest bounds possible, we have to report this morning, in nearly all its departments, the most heavy and uninteresting trade experienced for a long time past. English and Irish new Wheats were offered 2d. to 3d., and all kinds of old, including foreign, 2cl. per 701 b. under the current rates of Tuesday, with very little effect. Flour, likewise, being equally difficult of sale, w.,s, in general, nominally depressed in value. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas continued to be held on the terms last noted, except the ordinary runs of Egyptian Beans, which were pressed for sale, and decidedly lc per qr. cheaper. Oats, participating in the dulness applicable to other articles, receded 64. per 451b5., and Oatmeal 6d, per load. Indian Corn, of which • few limited parcels alone appeared to change hands, declined Is. per qr., and for Indian Meal 15s. per barrel was hardly obtainable.
