In the Cnamber of Deputies the son of Casimir Perrier made his debut on the Swiss question. The Duke and Duchess of Nlontpensier, and. the Duchess of Nemours were present, expecting to hear Thiers, but he being indisposed declined speaking, and asked an adjournment. A report prevails that an ordinance bad lxen published appointing Marshal Bugeaud Minister of War, vice Trezel. It is reported that dig cord prevails between the families of the Duke of Nemours and Prince de Joinville, which is the reason of the departure of the latter from Paris to Algiers. Reports are in general circulation throughout Paris that an insurrection had taken place at Naples. As, however, they were not confirmed by any arrivals from that city later than the 24th, they did not re ceive aniversal credence. The Madrid mails to the 27th ult. have arrived in due course. The mos* important piece of intelligence which they bring is that Pidal has receivef a high official appointment. Espartero still continued indis posed. The operations on the Bolas were more ani mated than usual. Fifteen operations were effected in the Three per Cents., and four transactions in the Fives. The Threes were done fur cash at 271. There are no advices from Italy more recent in date than those we have already given. The follow ing letter, said to be addressed to a member of the chamber,b7 a person entitled to confidence, appears in the Paris journals : Piva, JAN. IG.—The manner in which the events which have recently taken place in Tuscany are reported is foreign jurnals, and especially in the Journal des !Mats, being as false as it is meevolent for Italy, has induced me to give you some account of the situation of the country. A minority, far from being considerable, composed of the most despicable persons and of inex perienced young men, conducted by int re gaols of the lowest orders, and by the creatures of Austria, bare been fur some time creating disturbances at Leghorn, while those persons who were affiliated to the retrograde party did their utmost to excite discontent at Florence. The occupation of the states of Modena and of Parma by the Austrian troops,—an oc • cupation which was approved of by your Complaisant Minister of Foreign Alluirs—furnished the opportunity of causing the discontent of the people to break out, en account of the carelessness shown by government to provide for the safety of the country. But these persons, whose sole aim was to create disturbances, after exciting the people to revolt against the government, and thus turn to their profit a sentiment both just and honourable in itself, have betrayed themselves, and, by going beyond the bounds of their ostensible programme, have disclosed their secret designs. Every one, then, saw 1 the character of the indivi luals they had to deal with, and left them to themselves; national guard, merchants, the people in general, all withdrew fr , ra them ; every one felt the necessity of seeking support in the government, from the conviction that such is the only means of maintaining public order and of consolidating the reforms already obtained. The ixcelleat Marquis Rt. dolt, Minister of the Interior, on his arrival at Leg horn, found the whole population in the best disposition imaginable to reduce to reason throe turbulent persons who were endangering our future tranquillity, and to place under arrest, or send to the island of Elba, the promoters of die turbances, who had found support in none but the dregs of the populace. This event of Leghorn, which might have had the most deplorable results, has, on the contrary, produced the best effect in opening the eyes of the people la general. All here hare been convinced that the zeal of certain persons was all a lie, and that a secret thought was concealed beneath the faireet promises; consequently we have felt the greater necessity of drawing more closely the ties which in Tuscany bind the people to the government. All the towns, with one accord, have felt the desire of addressing to the grand duke the expression of their respect and their dtsvoted nese. All have joined to this the offer of their wealth and persons, to be employed in the defence of the l'aud, in the maintaining of the new institutions, against all enemies from abroad or at home. This is a fine spectacle, for it is certain that nothing has been solicited, calculated ; all has been spontaneous, unanimous. The love of the country, of its liberties, of its independence, and its gratitude for a prince who has pre ferred the welfare of his people to his family, to the affection* of his dynasty, have been his o nly mobile. This spectacle de serves, indeed, the aimiration of every honest man of your nation, of the political men of France ; and M. Guisot could have mentioned it with the praise it so well deserves, but the disgraceful policy he has adopted compels him to heap upon us his calumny and his insults, instead of rendering homage to truth and of paying that tribute of admira tion which is due to the reformed populations of Italy. Shall I mention another fact, which will enable you to forma just judgment of them 2 On the day when the news of this semi-revolution of Leghorn was reported at Pia, the students of our university, who are all enrolled, as you well know, repaired in a body, almost without an ex ception, to their captains' residences at night, through a heavy rain, to request to be marched on Leghorn, in order to re-establish orderin that city. With such young men, Italy can build the fairest hopes. These facts deserve to be made public in France, that genemos country which bears a s many points of resemblance with Italy, and which we consider as her we'l-beloved sister. Since the foregoing was in type, we have had our Paris letter of last night, which says advices had arrive d from Florence to the 26th, to the effect that on that evening an extraordinary courier had arrived from Naples, despatched, as it would seem, by the British ambassador there, lie went strait to the British Legation, where, having delivered his despatches, be proceeded, without a moment's delay, on his route to Paris. It was reported at Florence, that this courier bad stated that the insurgents at Palermo on the 21st, in the evening, had peremp torily declined entering into any negotiation what ever with the commandant of the royal troops until the castle should be surrendered to them, and they declared that even then they would only consent to negotiate through the intervention of the captain of the British steamer Bulldog, which was lying in the harbour. The table of the prices of corn in different parts of France, which regulate the import duties, has just been published for the last month. It shows an aver age price of 19f. 27c. the hectolitre. Last year, at the same time, the average price was 29f. 92c. A Toulon letter of the 28th the Constitution nel, says : " The disarming of a part of the steam frigates attached to the Mediterranean squadron is no longer mentioned. The government appears to have determined on keeping it on a respectable footing, and we even are expecting orders to fit out more ships. We believe we may confidently state that the Prince de Joinville will resume the command of the squadron in Ithe spring, when he returns from Algiers. Col. Daumas is still at Fort Lamalgue, and will remain until further orders. Nothing has as yet transpired with regard to the result of the colonel's endeavours to induce Abd-el- Kader to make a request that he may remain in France. It is generally believed that CoL Dumas will ulti mately succeed in this mission ; bat the great diffi culty to be got over is the reluctance of the ex• Emir to separate himself from his Arab followers." The funeral oration on the death of the late Daniel O'Connell will be delivered by the Abbe Lacordaire on Thursday, the 10th inst., at one o'clock precisely, in the cathedral church of Notre Dame. The cere mony will commence with a mass for the repose of the soul of the deceased. Fxs. 2. New Lean, ; Three per Cents, 71 15 ; Fires, 116 75; Four-and-11.4f, • Fours 99 50.

By an arrival from South Africa, we have journals from Graham's Town to the 27th November, and Cape Town to the 4th December. We are happy to announce the safe arrival of Sir Harry Smith at the seat of his future government. In communicating this event to its readers, the Commercial Advertiser thus speaks:— " The Vernon, which arrived on Wednesday, brings no news of later date; but the chief thing she brings is the new governor. Sir Harry Smith, whose personal worth and military reputation se cure for him a most cordial reception from all ranks and classes of people wherever he appears. He was received on landing with cheers and congratulations as an old friend, as well as with the respect and loyal regard due to his office. At one o'clock the ceremony of assuming office was performed at Go vernment-house, when, after the usual forms, two addresses were presented to him, one from the municiWity, and the other from the merchants and other inhabitants, expressing briefly satisfaction and gratitude to the Queen for despatching so distin guished a person to take charge of this government, and pointing with hope to foreign triumphs and in ternal freedom. To the accomplishment of both ob jects, Sir Harry, in reply, pledged his best exertions. b the evening Cape Town was brilliantly illuminated, and for many hours the streets were filled with moving columns of decent, orderly people, who seemed extremely well pleased with all they saw and heard, with themselves and all the world." By the latest accounts from Kaffirland it was an nounced that Colonel Somerset, with some nine hun dred men, consisting of the Cape Mounted Rifles and Hogg's Levies, all in light marching order, had effected the passage of the Kye at Bridle Drift. The commander-in-chief, with the main body of the army, was to advance towards Fort Warden, ready to improve any advantage which might arise from this for ward movement, or to afford, in case of need, support to Colonel Somerset. By the same oppor tunity information was received that Kreili had re fused to afford shelter to Pato, and that the latter had in consequence re-crossed the Kye. It seems that Colonel Somerset, after crossing that river, very soon got on the spoor of the retreating enemy; but, finding that Pato had doubled upon him, he detached Capt. Hogg with his levy, and Capt. O'Reilly with 400 men in pursuit, who found that the enemy had turned sharp round, and recrossed the Kye towards the country occupied by the chief Um bale. The cattle driven in this direction were esti mated at 1,500 head, all apparently oxen. The Kaffirs in charge of these were mounted, and moved forward, notwithstanding their incumbrance, so rapidly, that all attempts to overtake them proved fruitless, arising I partly from the fact that on fording the Kye they divided the cattle into several droves, and proceeded in different directions. Part of these seemed to take the direction of the very centre of the territory allotted to Umbels, in consequence of which an ex press was immediately dispatched to Capt. M'Lean, British commissioner, acquainting him with the cir cumstance. The Graham's Town Journal says, "We understand that Capt. M'Lean has since called upon Umbels to explain this circumstance, and hopes are entertained that the enemy will be caught in the toils which are spread for him, though at present considera ble doubt exists as to whether Pato himself is actually west of the Kye, as has been confidently stated. Should such be the fact, then there is every reason to expect he will surrender ere long to the British ' troops. About 400 head of cattle were taken in the course of these operations; but, we regret to say, En-1 sign Green, son of the deputy com.-gen. in charge at this place, was severely wounded. It ap pears that, while riding in the rear of the column on the march, four or five Kaffira fired on him from an ambuscade, a ball striking him on the thigh, and passing nearly through the muscular part of it. The wound, we are glad to say, is not considered danger ous. The accounts before us speak of this pursuit as a most laborious affair—the men having to subsist for four days on meat alone—neither bread, biscuits, or spirits to be had ; and their only cover from the wea ther the clothes on their back and the shelter of the bush." (From the Frontier Times of Nov. 23.) Private intelligence has been received here from some farmers residing near Mooi River, detailing the melancholy intelligence of the murder of Michd Combrink and one or two of his sons, by a party of Corannas, who it appears attacked and butchered them without any warning. The emigrants in the neighbourhood, immediately on the alarm being spread, collected together and defeated the Corannas, killing the captain and many of his followers. Some of the emigrants are said to have been wounded. The whole part of that country is represented as being in a very great state of excitement in consequence of the murder of Combrink and hie two sons, and the Corannas, no less daunted, vow vengeance against the 'emigrants for the loss of their captain. It is fully expected that a large commando of Boers will be made to repulse the marauding Corannas. (From the Commercial Advertiser.) Natal papers have just been received by the Rose bud, to the 4th November. The Lieutenant-Go- vernor has homed a proclamation, offering pardon to all such of the Klip River Boers as, having at• tempted by a secret bargain with Padua, to wrest that district from the colony, shall make their submission, and s4nify the same within fourteen days, to J. N. Boahof, Esq., temporarily appointed to bo resident magistrate of that division. lhe Chief Fodo has given himself up to the government. There was a report, that the Klip River Boers were in league, determined, with the help of Panda, to hold out against the British. Buenos Ayres papers to the 31st of October have come to hand. It appears, from a proclamation of General Urquiza, governor of the province of Entre Rios, that the Chief of Corrientes had collected troops to wage war against Rowe, on the news of which Ur quiza had marched against him. Discord was reignin in the Correntino camp which would apparently make the victory easy ; and Col. Caceres had actually gone over to Urquiza with 1,000 Correntino troops, so that Madariaga, the governor of Corrientes, would scarcely be able to support himself against such a combination. Paraguay, meanwhile, was increasing its troops on the frontiers of Corrientes, with a view, as supposed, to assist the latter in the extremity. Exchange on England at Buenos Ayres was 2d. nominal. There was a good demand for horse and ox hides at Buenos Ayres, particularly heavy hides, which were scarce, those weighing 2Slbs. and upwards, ob taining 36 to 62 dollars. In salt-hides, grease, and junked beef, prices almost nominal; the slaughter houses not having commenced operations. The transactions in hides were principally for the United States, Spain, and Genoa. Purchasers for wool and sheep skins, dirty, had also made their appear ance. We have papers from Valparaiso to the 30th of November. The only domestic intelligence they contain of mach interest, is the uneasy state of com merce, and the scarcity of money, resulting from the distrust created by the failure of houses in England having relations with Chili. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBCRY.—The health of this venerable prelate continues to improve gradually. The following is a copy of the bulletin imued this morning. " Lambeth Palace, Feb. 3, 1848.—His Grate has had a good night, and is going on favourably." The inquiries were exceedingly numerous this morning. ' NORTII SHROPSHIRE: J. W. Dod, Ehq., of CIO- Terley-hall, has published an address offering himself as can didate on the conservative interest, for the seat vacant by the elevation of Viscount Clive, ROW Earl of Powis, to the house • of peers. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.—Curuous AND ENCUMBEREI . . . Beet:EST.—A special general court was held on Tuesday in She Hall of the Scottish Corporation, Crane-court, for the purpose of considering the propriety of accepting the amount of a bequest to the institution. Mr. B. B. Cabbeli, M.P., presided. The secretary read a communication from the Bev. J. A Roes, Vicar of Westwell, Kent, who was the trustee of Mr. Ross, of Itelmour House, Bishop's Waltham, Hants, a gentleman recently deceased, and by whose will a sum of 1,0001. was bequeathed to the Scottish Hospital on certain conditions. The Rev. Mr. Roes, the trustee, desired an immediate answer from the governors, stating whether or not they accepted those conditions. He enclosed a copy of a letter written by himself to the deceased, and dated Feb. 13 1845, by which he agreed that, if he or his heirs should ever emits into possession of Nos. 12 and 13, Queen-square, Westmiaster, he or they would for ten years lodge 100/. a year in the Bank of England, adding the accruing interest to the capital, and that at the end of that time the amount should be paid to the Scottish Hospital, on condition that the managers expended the yearly interest in the following manner :—ln food, money, raiment, medicine, but not in education, to persons born in Sutherlandshire or Ross, who might be considered fit and worthy objects of charity ; that there should be oak hoards fixed up in conspicuous places in Taira, Dorwich, and the Scottish Hospital, recording the bequest ; berth, r, that the letters on the boards should be one inch in length ; such boards, in the first instance, being at the expense of the managers, and that from time to time, as occasion required, they should be renewed at their sole charge ; that after the managers came into possession of the bequest they should from time to time repair the vault where the donor's remains were deposited, and also the iron railing round it, at their own ex pense ; that if the above conditions were not complied with the bequest would be transferred to the Seamen's Hospital Society ; and further, that the trustee and his representative should, from time to time, have seats at the board of the society, in order to see the conditions fulfilled. The question of the adoption of these somewhat singular provisions gave rise to some discussion among the governors, which resulted in an agreement to refer the matter to their legal advisers, who should decide whether the governors could accept them consistently with the constitution of the hospital. A proposal, which had originated in a suggestion midis by Mr. B. B. Cabbell at a previous meeting, for a benefit or friendly society in connexion with the Scottish Hospital, was then brought forward, and gave rise to another discussion, as to how far it was to be de pendent upon the Scottish Hospital for support, and whether it should be of a general character, or embrace exclusively the Scottish nation. Neither of these points, however, was definitively arranged, and the simple motion carried was—" That it seems desirable that • friendly society be established in connexion with the Scottish Hospital." On the motion of the Chisholm, M.l'., it was then resolved to appoint a committee to make the necessary arrangements, and report thereon, and that it should con shit, among other gentlemen, of the Dukes of Montrose and Buctleuch, the Marquises of Bute and Breadalbane, the Earl of Rosebery, Lords James and Dudley Stuart and Ro bert Grosvenor, and Mr. 13. B. Cabbell.—This concluded the business, and the court adjourned. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOClETY.—Yeeterday the an nual meeting of governors of this society was held at the offices, King Williamatreet ; John Labouchere, Esq. in the chair. The minutes for the last quarter having been con firmed, the report was read, from which it appeared that the admission of cases of typhus fever continued, particularly from colliers, the cause of which was referred to the *ant of cleanliness on board these vessels. The committee regretted that, notwithstanding the act of the 7th and Sth Vic., c. 112, the health of seamen suffered from the effects of scurvy, and deplored that it was occasionally treated with indifference by the masters of ships, who frequently substituted unwhole some compounds for lime or lemon-juice. The Dreadnought having sprung a leak in November loot, it would be neces sary to dock the ship next spring The committee acknow ledged the receipt of 751., being a portion of the sum left for charitable purposes by Ibrahim Pacha ; also 3781. gs. Bd. from the Cape of Good Hope, being a moiety of penalties under the act of the 7 and S Vic. The sum of 2,1311. 13'. 9d. reduced stock, bequeathed by the late Robert Lowrey, was transferred in the names of the trustees. The late Lieutenant-Colonel Porches had left one-thirteenth of his estate to the hospital. In con clusion, the committee called upon the friends of the society to continue their exertions in its favour. The number of patients admitted during the last year was 2,712 ; discharged cured, 1,311 ; convalescent, 679 ; relieved, 58 ; not cured, 26; outpatients admitted, 1,911, of whom 92 were com pletely clothed after being cured. 84,238 ,had been relieved since the establishment of the hospital. The total receipts for the year amounted to 9,025/. 13s. 9d., out of whack there remained • balance of 1721. 19s. The report and ac counts were received. Keying, the imperial commissioner to the Emperor of China was elected • vice-president. The other officers of the society were then appointed, alter which the meeting separated. TILE ARCTIC EXPEDITTON.—The Bettfreic Adver tiser supplies the following information regarding one of the rescue ships to be fitted out for the relief of the Arctic expe dition. The new ship, at present on the slip of Messrs. John Scott and Sons, has Intely been bought by Mr. Green, ship. builder, Blackwell, for her Majesty's government. She is to be ready the Ist of March, according to agreement, and every arrangement and exertion is being made to hurry her executicn as speedily as possible. A considerable number of hands hive been taken en by the firm for that purpose, and as tke work and the time advances they will probably be increased. She will, as soon as launched, proceed to the Thame', to receive:the necessary fittings required by ship going to high northern latitudes. She is intended, we be lieve, as one of a squadron that arc about to proceed to the Arctic ocean in search of Captains Franklin and Crozier, now supposed to be frozen up in that ocean. She will pro ceed, in company with her Majesty's ship Plover, round Cape Horn to Lima, where they will be victualled, and thence through Behring's Straits into the Arctic ocean, where their labours and their search will commence. They will be provided with everything that may tend to amuse and lighten the tedious hours, when hummed in for months by moun tains of ice. Another expedition will be sent out in the fall of the year, through Davis' Straits, in search of the hardy adventurers, under Capt. Bird. Tn e NllNT.—Sir,—The public are greatly indebted to you for calling attention 43 the irresponsible Mint. They profess to deliver coin in 30 days only. The Calcutta mint coins in 20 days. In the Mint reports I hold for 1844, 1845, and 1846, they give no account of the seignorsge they make, coining for even 44 colonies. During all our late distress they have not informed the public what they coined monthly, which would have greatly benefited affairs. They will coin no silver for the people, though silver and gold was ou legal standard in 1797, and silver would have relieved‘ll our press re. Every other nation coin silver. From the hour we lost our gold our ancient standard of silver should hays been restored to us to till up the vacuum ; but we have 1/41111 the abominable pride,wretchednees, and usury, preferring that our revenue should sink, and our people be ruined and starved, rather than permit the monopoly of gold to be in vaded, and this whilst our frigates, packets, and merchant ships have been importing tons, and tens of tone, of silver daily, weekly, monthly.—EDltUND TAX 'SION, an old foreign merchant of 1807.-lArmingham, Feb. 2, 1848. t Opteg N0.447.] LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 3, lB4B.

EAST LONDON AUXILIARY TO THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN SAILORS' SOCIETY, —An annual meeting war held on Tumday, at the Eastern Institution, Commercial rod, when there was a very numerous attendance. Mr. George Thompson, M.P. ' occupied the chair. The report of that:owning* stated that, since the formation of the insti tution, eleven sears ago, many thousand tracts, not only in the English, but also in the German, French, Swedish, and Dutch languages, had been distributid, and libraries, con taining many hundred suitable books, had been sent to sea on loan. Bethel services had been held, at which not less Nan 3,000 sailors had been addressed ; in addition to which many bad been induced to attend places of worship on shore. Daring the past year, about 6,000 tricts had bean dis tributed ; seven libraries, each containing 30 volumes, had been lent on hoard vessels sailing to the following ports— namely, two to Quebec, one to Havana, one to - Bombay, one to Hobart Town, and two to Jamaica. Five libraries had been returned—two from Quebec, one from H one from Jamaica, and one from Hobart Town, and in nearly ever case a contribution had been given to the funds of the auxiliary by the captain or crew in returning their box of books. Forty-four Bethel services had been held, the average attendance having been twelve, and a large number had even been seen in some of the sanctuaries in the imme- diate locality. The committee had received a c:mmunica tion from the parent eociety, requesting them to carry out • suggestion made by the missionaries who had returned from the South Sea Islands, to procure aad seed est la the John Williams an iron chapel, to be essrail la die Issabrar of Apia, Upedu, one of the South Boa Ishads, hit the we of the British and American seamen visiting the port. This had accordingly been done at an expthse to the somety el 18.51., of which sum 401. was still due from the society. The committee hoped that the deficiency would be supplied by the meeting. The receipts during the year had amounted to 841., of which 691. had been contributed by the Ladies' Association in aid of their objects. Out of the total rum 781. Gs. 4d. had been paid to the parent society, the re minder having been expended in necessary disbursements. —The Rev. J. Kennedy moved, and the Rev. T. C. Smith seconded, the adoption of the report, and the meeting was subsequently addressed by the Rev. Dr. Burnett and other reverend gentlemen, in support of resolutions pledging the meeting to support the society, and awarding a vote of thanks to the Chairman.—A subscription was made during the evening among the assembly, but it did not appear to realise any considerable amount. THE ELECTION OF HEAD-MASTER OF ICING I EDWARD'S GRAMMAR (know., BIRMINGHAM, took place yesterday. There were in all 17 candidates, hut of these three only were submitted to the ballot, viz.: the Rev. C. I H. Gifford, M.A., second master of the grammar school at Shrewsbury; the Rev. S. J. Rigaud, M.A. ' senior assistant master of Westminster School; and the Rev. G. E. L Cotton, M.A., one of the masters of the school at Rugby. The election was declared to have fallen upon Mr. Gifford. DREADED INVASION OF FRANCE BY TILE —The national defences question has, according to the Libre Echange, raised a counter panic in France. "While the ridiculous panic," says' that paper, " is being manifested in England, a counter feeling is beginning to be felt on this side of the channel. Here oae is persuaded that, under this pre text of defence, England in reality is preparing the means of invasion ; and surely our conjectures arc at least as well founded as those of our neighbours. The press already be gins to demand precautionary measures ; for, of all clams, the journalists are certainly the most warlike. They have the good fortune never to leave in the field of battle either a leg or an arm:" it is the peasant who is food for powder; and they contribute to the expenses of the war only a bottle of ink and a quirt of paper. It is so agreeable to encourage armies, to put them through their manoeuvres, to criticise the generale, to evince the most ardent patriotism, the most heroic bravery, in a well-carpeted room, by the side of a comfortable tire. But the newspapers make opinion : and we must else arm. Our ministers will allow themselves to b.: coaxed into increasing our armaments; they will assume the air of ceding to irresistible exigencies, and then they will my, ' You see very well that neither the salt duties nor the post-office can be touched ; on the contrary, we mast invent new taxes—a difficult problem, certainly—but we have among us Nome able financiers.' It seems to us that there are some men who ought to laugh in their sleeves at all this : first, those who, in the two countries, live by the development of brute force—those to whom international misunderstandings, diplomatic intrigues, and the prejudices of nations open a career of place, of promotion, of crosser, of advancement, of fortune, of power, and of glory. The monopolists, too, have a much greater chance of pre serving their privileges in nations which, apprehensive of war, dare not trust to another for their supplies What a fine theme for the Morning Post and the Monieeur Industriel, should free trade terminate for the present in this mystifica tion, and plunge nations into war. Finally, the governments, if there be any, which seek to make a profit of the people, to multiply the number of their creatures, will in no degree be angry at this excellent opportunity of making more places, expending more money, and raising more troops. Demand reforms after that, and we shall find an answer." GRACE-YARDS IN TowNs.—During the sitting of the magistrates at the Guildhall, Plymouth, on Thursday, Mr. Trego brought under the attention of the bench some circumstances relating to the interment of bodies in the churchyard attached to Charles Church. He stated that in consequence of the number of burials many of the bodies were not put two feet below the surface. In one case a grave was opened, and the coffin already there was found on measurement to be within 22 inches of the surface, yet another coffin was put on the top of that. The sexton laid he could not find a vacant place, although he had bored for that purpose. The churchwardens said that the case had not been overstated, but there was no remedy until the new cemetery was got ready, when it was hoped the interments in the town would be much abated. PER'S IN PARISH CUURCIIES.—Dr. Phillimore has addressed to the churchwardens of Cheltenham the following general propositions with respect to the distribution and ar rangement of pews in a parish church " First, I apprehend it to be a clear rule of law, recognised by a series el adjudged cases,That pews in a paris h church cannot be either bought or sold unless under the sanction of a special act of parliament, which would, pro tango, form an exception to the general laws. It has not been stated to me that any act of parliament exists which would sanction the sale of pews in Cheltenham church ; it follows, therefore, that any such sales which may have taken place are nullities in law, and to be dealt with as such by the churchwardens. Secondly, Pews may be appro priated by prescription, and a prescriptive title cannot be altered by any authority ; it is to be observed, however, that prescriptive titles are rare—that they must be clearly proved, and not left equivocal. Thirdly, Pews may be appropriated by faculties duly granted by a competent ecclesiastical court. The churchwardens cannot itreriere with the occupiers of seats in virtue of faculties, unless there should be something videos (not an unusual occurrence) in the form or substance of the faculty, or unless the holder of the faculty should cease entirely to be an inhabitant of the parish and to fro quent the parish church ; in such an instance I apprehend the churchwardens might, pro rennin, place actual inhabit ants, who might come for the purpose of attending divine service, in the vacant and deserted sea s. Fourthly, Cuatom may so far entitle persons to their occupation of particular seats that they may not be removable from them by the churchwardens unlm under the sanction of the ordinary, Fifthly. Pews way be holden by a possessory right on the allotment of the churchwardens, and a possessory title cannot be altered by the churchwardens, though it may be ley the ordinary, but good ground must be shown before the court would exercise such an authority. Sixthly, Immediately that the holder of a pew teams to be a parishioner, his right to the occupation of the pew cease, and is determined. , Seventhly, Tho person or rector impropriate is entitled to the ' chief seats in the church ; but the impropriator cannot erect Sew seats in the chancel without the consent of the ordinary. Subject to the preceding observations the ordinary commits the superintendence and regulation of seats and pews in the parish church to the churchwardens. It fa their especial function to distribute the pews or seats (as the case may be) amongst the parishioners, reference being had, in each in stance, to their rank and station in the parish, and to the size of their families. The theory of the law is, " that every person who settles as a householder has a right to call on the parish for a convenient seat." In populous parishes full effect cannot be given to this maxim,but it is the duty of the churchwardens to approach as nearly as they can to the full execution of it ; and in every ease where they experience Improper resistance and contumacy on the part of any pa rishionsr, it is open to them to submit the case to the judg ment of the ordinary, i.e., to the consistory court of the diocese, where judgment will be given, based on the prin ciples above expounded." DESSE-CASSEL, JAN. 22.—The .Swabian Mercury, under the above head, says that one of the magnates of the electoral house, and the presumptive heir of the present elector—Lendiraf William, Governor of Copenhagen, and general in the Danish service—had not recognised the con stitution given to this country by the late elector, nor been present, either penonallv or by proxy, in the aaeemblies of the states. The Lendgraf William has, since the death of the late elector, notifiedto the states of Hesse-Camel his re cognition of the constitution given to the country by that sovereign. Frederic, the son of the landgraf, hasdone the same. COMMERCIAL er MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENI Two d Clock.—We have little change to report inl the stock market, which continues fiat. The second editions of the morning papers, with the intelligence' that the constitution of 1812 had been granted to Na ples and Sicily, had no effect upon prices or speculation. The belief entertained that the people of Piedmont will also demand further constitutional reforms, if not a constitution like that of Naples, as well perhaps as others of the Italian states now apparently satisfied, which might lead to further agitation, tends probably to repress any active movement in the funds in the upward direction, now anticipated in some quarters.

PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANE, Half-past Two.— The Sugar market is firm, at the late advance ; but the de mand is not quite so brisk to-day. The large amount of businese done in foreign the last two days has been chiefly in refining qualities for home use ; this thews that, low as Sugars are, foreigners find this a better market, after paying the extra duty of 65., than the Continental ones; and this, of course, is felt by the British planters, who must compete with the price of foreign in order to make sales ; and. it checks the prospect of any material advance.

Buyers were found for those off red at Is., and in some instances 2s. over last market. Oats a little more sought after, and mostly sold at the full rates of last week, but no quotable improvement; only a moderate supply for the season. Small Beans sold principally on the sera. terms. The returns, as given by the government inspector, shows the average as a very low one, viz : 711 qrs., 1,4991. 17s. ; average per qr., 425. 2d. This will prove the proportion of ill-conditioned and blighted Wheats to be great, as one merchant, resident at this place, a large buyer for some weeks past, returned upwards of 400 qrs., the an rage not exceeding 38s. It is to be hoped this week is an exception, or a clearing out of the middling and inferior samples.

MALTA, Jan. 25.-There is nothing doing in corn, and yet prices keep up, in consequence of the monopoly which a dozen persons have of this article. The holders here arc mostly persons who can afford to keep a stock, which they have done in expectation of a demand in Ireland or Scotland.
