There were several lots of good fat Beast, at market, which hung cn hand, and Mena:- jerky left the market unsold, as purchasers could not be found utilise at a considerable di cline in prices, which the sellers were not inclined to accede to at present, being br immed with the idea that vices wM revive in • week or two.

Twas•asew—Alusla& $1 lola pest i ; Idieum.66 pia NM a LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 30. IT is impossible not to deprecate the *demi- Woos policy of the French government in pro voking an outburst of the fanatic republicans, and pursuing their aims, however laudable, by measures calculated to pr oduce: collision, violence, and uncertainty. France, and its moderates, and Louie NAPOLEON have had, we think, every reason, since the 10th of December, to congratulate them selves on the quiet manner, and even resignation, with which the republicans, even the reddest of them, received and bowed to their defeat. Not only was the heir of the Emperor NAPOLEON installed in the first seat of the republic, to the load acclamations of legitimists and Orleaeista, bat a ministry was ap pointed of men—eminent, no doubt, and honest, but still of =dissembled anti-republican tendencies. After all that has passed, M. BAREOT might have been contented with the humility of his foes, without en tering upon a policy of reaction and persecution, which recalls the worst days cf the fallen dynasties. Were the struggle thus commenced or provoked, one between the newly-elected President and the anarchic party, there could be no hesitation as to which one would desire to see triumphant. But the struggle is not this. It is one merely between the National Assembly and the ministry. The National Assembly, being Constituent, asserts its right to sit till it has completed the . passing of the organic laws. The ministry deny that right, and declare their &ter mination to dissolve the Assembly at once. Yet what objection have ministers or President to the Assembly ? It is republican certainly, but not red republican. It has put down enamel.. It sent BASSES and his ao =wilco@ to prison, and sought to do the same by LOUIS BLANC and CAUSSIDIERE. It rejected every socialist motion with contempt. It equally set aside every clamour for war, every attempt to create paper insney, or approac h bankruptcy. A more moderitely republican chamber could not be, and why Louts NAPOLEON should risk the peace of the capital and the lives of thousands by entering into collision with it we do not see: The Assembly must, no doubt, fix a term for its &native. And its first votes showed that it was prepared to do sea Gentle and conciliatory means, and some guarantees given to the moderate republicans, would have secured this. But M. BAREOT is a bungling negotiator. Ile never has been able to win over his enemies or restrain his friends, and thus, though naturally . moderate in character, he has always been driven against his will to extreme results. Instead of coming to some terms with the moderate republicans of the Assembly, who could have given him the majority,. he has placed himself at war with the great majority, and instead of carrying his points by fair means, he is reduced to rude menaces and open war ; and his measures seem taken to pro voke a collision, and to procure the dissolution of the Assembly by violent means. We mieit have expected this of General BUGEAUD, but in M. BAREOT it is unpardonable. For even if hie aim be good, of which we are by no means sure, his means are blundering, dangerous, and extreme. In so critical and exciting a moment as a collision between a republican assembly, which denies that it can be dissolved, and an adnuaistration which denies that it can be affected by a parliamentary =jerk,' it would have been advisable to avoid all other causes of, and excitement to, popular effseveamase. Yet this is the moment chosen to instal a most an =popular in his chair, and to keep him there bayonets of thousands of soldiers. This same grellemor M. Clumar allowed to be hooted from hie shale, and durst not take such a step as to support bin by soldiery. What M. Mawr blushed to do mike Loma PHILIPPE, M. FALLOUX does under Louts NAPOLEON. It is impossible that he can do each an act, except with the motive of provocation. Then comes the affair of the Garde Mobile, that corps of young Parisian soldiers who saved Paris, and the government, and the moderates, from the ven geance and fury of the red republicans. This is the moment chosen to disband this corps. The officers remonstrate. General CHANOAENIER, a rude sol dier—heard not long shies to declare that it would re quire scarcely an effuse to restore the empire and its absolutism--vends the officers to prison. ALA MOIRE, the IMlEMander tithe corps, breaks his sword, and &elms that he resiaas his command, not to obey a at ewe ea lnibl and ungrateful. Off to with his too. This is manspog the capital apse the manner of Algeria. M. Plounnom, who has bus nide( sad diatribes for the last year with out the least allsed ee bane, s now, forsooth, to be pro secuted. All this showsnymely that the French minis ters have lost their tosysr—that they have got into a false position, quite oataaalde, unless some troubles break forth—ad they seem ressived to provoke these troubles, and to Ibg the essalry and the capital into civil war, rather flan yield. In this mode* we think, the French moderates are making precisely the same mistake as the red republicans—that is, appealing to violence in cases that patient argument and legal conduct could have fully and satisfactorily decided. The French nation will have no red republicanism—that is clear. Bat that it will support for any time an anabolism that prohibits the right of se. sedaties and all meetings to discuss political tosedonseven at " irregular intervals"; that instals ea obnoxious and tory professor against the voice of tie university ; and that dissolves the most merito rises corps, the very corps that have saved the state title capital, to snit the caprice and brutality of a oreer—this is what the French nation will no MO* tolerate than it tolerated UMW ROLLIN or LOUIS BLANC., Or GUIZOT ur POLIONAC. LAST week we adverted to the growing necessity of having recourse to measures for stimulating the landed proprietors of Ireland in the full development of the latent resources of their naturally productive but poverty.stricken country. We deem this a debt the government owes to the nation at large, and if any dereliction of duty on the part of individuals would warrant the executive is interfering in the manage, - ment of private property, it certainly is that which prevents the growth of a sufficiency of food for the population at large. But we hold that such intermeddllng is to be eschewed as long as possible, and we believe that a practical substitute for the impracticable 1 .ndlord panacea of a towidand rating for poor-law purposes may be de vised, which, by empowering the provident proprie tor to stimulate and coerce if necessary his apathetic neighbours into measures of employment and im provement, would render perfectly nugatory the pre sent plausible objections to the outlay of capital in drainage and other works. In order to make oar case perfectly intelligible, and show the crying necessity for some such provi sion, we shall as briefly as possible ata'e tt.e particu lars of three properties, comprising an electoral divi sion in the county of Cork. To simplify the statement we shall assume that the three prop'r iles are of an equal value, and, in fact there is not much difference ; we shall therefore take each at the annual value of 2,0001. They belong to the chairman of the union and to two noble lords, both resident in the same union. The actual cost of the out door relief, when being administered lastepring, on each of the three properties was correctly ascer tained. On the chairman's property the weekly ex penditure was in proportion to an annual poundage rate of one shilling and fircpence. On that of the two noble earls it amounted to nine shillings, equal to 9001. on each for the year, and to 1201. on the chair man's, making a gross total of 1,9201. But as the tax is now levied each property would have to pay 6401. The chairman borrowed money under Mr. LAMM CHUM'S letter and the Property Improvement Act, and every man on his estate was at full work. Neither of the peers expended a penny in employ ment Mr. GRIFFITH'S valuation is not yet completed in the district, and probably when it is, the chairman's property will be rated at 3,0001. per annum, and the others, which are deteriorating Every day, at 1,5001. each. Then, suppobing the poor-rate to continue at the same figure, the estate which afforded employment, produced food, and contributed its quota to the na tional wealth in every way, through miller, merchant, and manufacturer, should pay 9601., while the others which continued a dead weight on the country at large, benefiting no one save the union contractor for coffins, would pay only 4801. each. The county cese, iwiluding the labour rate, would be charged in the same ratio of decrease and increase, so that the spirited proprietor, who fulfilled all the duties of pro perty honestly and conscientiously, would have a heavy penalty inflicted on him, while the men who merely tried to exact their rights, would be virtually rewarded for their remissness. The remedy we should propose for this, to say the least of it, inequitable con dition of the law, would be the enactment of some provisions to enable a man in the chairman's position to compel the other owners of property in his division to proceed peer/ panu with him in improve meet and employment. The machinery for such com• pulsory clauses, cocsidering the necessarily compli cated nature of the interests to be dealt with, may be reduced to a work.ng comrass. The first step should be a clause authorising some given number of ratepayers to call upon the board of guardians to publi-h a certified statement of the cur rent expenditure for relief within any division of the union, and whenever it exceeded for three months an amount equal to art annual rate of 53., proceedings should be taken to enforce employment in the following manner. That the owners of one-third or one-fourth in area or value of the division may require a special meeting of the Beard of Guardians to consider the condition of the district in question, before whom the requisition ists may give evidence of the actual state of the im provable lands it contained. That on satisfactory testimony being so afforded of the capability for profitable improvement of any townland, the guardians may be authorised to make application under the Property Improvement Act for an advance of money to carry out the necessary works. Provision should of ce.tirse be made to enable the owners, mortgagees, or others interested, to appeal from the order of the guardians. The appellate jurisdiction to be vested in the assistant barrister, whose decree should be final, empowering him, in cue he ordered the execution of the works, to give the appellants a certain limited time for proceeding with and completing the improvements under their own supervision. But in default of any person so inte rested in the property taking the necessary proceed ings for ensuring employment, the guardians should be authorised and required to appoint a competent person to superintend the improvements, making the entire outlay a first charge on the property operated on. AU the necessary checks of preliminary surveys and inspection—to be made, however, at the expense of the division—would be ensured, and the consent of the cons.":- 4 nners of poor laws and public works may alao be insisted on. It is extremely improbable that the boundary coin mission, whose report must appear in a few days, will recommend a tovrnland or even a property area of rating, though the latter principle may to some ex tent become an element in the reconstruction of unions and divisions, to be suggested by them. From the minute subdivision of estates in most parts of Ire land, if the electoral division system be retained, a great many of them must still consist of such a num ber of properties as to render community of interest an insufficient stimulus to the owners to is employ ment. Where this may be the cue it s idle to sup pose that several will not be found more inclined to shirk than to fulfil their duties. Experience has also shown that purely permissory enactments are not sufficient to produce the desired re sult of general improvement, and that a different policy is indispensably necessary. Then if a measure of coercive improvement be pro posed it is desirable that the executive should not be immediately instrumental in enforcing its provisions. But it strikes ns that some such measure as that above suggested would ensure the ultimate, if not the early, operation of an act for the better employment of the people. There is already ample precedent for the proposition in the clauses of the Drainage Acta, whereby the owners of half the area of • district improvable by arterial works, can compel the unwill ing proprietors of the remainder to contribute to the expenditure requisite for the general improvement of the whole in proportion to the certified increased value of their several portions. We are of opinion that the legislature ought to take heed that the sloth of private individuals should not prevent the public from lacing benefited by the proper development of the many valuable but dor mant resources of the country. The agricultural capabilities of Ireland are in themselves sufficient to afford ample and profitable employment to all who are now wiling away their time in half-starved idle ness. But in addition to this, which may be called the staple of the country, it abounds with mineral wealth and unlimited fisheries, which may yet be brought into fall exploitation. Wz resume the narrative of Lord Crewe's Chari ties, and proceed to show-1. Who and what the Trustees are—and 2. How they exercise that large discretion which the increased value of the Bishop's property, rather than his intentions, has reposed in them* _ _ _ It has been already stated that, under Lord Caawa's will, the Muter of Lincoln College, Oxford, for the time being, is the only ex-officio trastee; but that, for all practical purposes,:the heads of that home take no share in the administration of the trust. On the election of a new master, the CREWE estates are conveyed to him, in conjunction with hie colleagues, on the trusts of the bishop's will. But from the execu tion of each succeeding indentures of lease and release to the next vacancy in the government of the college, all the interest taken by the Masters of Lincoln in their trust is understood to be limited to an acknowledg ment of the receipt from Durham of its half-yearly accounts. . . This inattention of the heads of Lincoln is not a little ungrateful to the memory of the bishop ; and is still more prejudicial to the management of the charity. It was to that society CREWE bequeathed the larger part of the income at his disposal. It is to his peni- tends.' munificence that great part of the attractiots of the college is owing. And on its masters be placed his Barest dependence for the due fulfilment of his trusts. He benefited the society by a series of exhi bitions; he distinguished its masters by , bequeathing to them his perpetual confidence. And their return for this bounty to the coll e ge and for this standing compliment to themselves is—disregard and neglect of the true!. The charity suffers because the college is benefited. For what its management most requires is, as we shall show, a trustee having no personal interests, no local prejudices, and susceptible of no Durham in fluences—a trustee who would supervise and control the arrangements of caste and of family which now bear away. The first improvement then that we suggest is, that Dr. RADFonn. the present master of Lincoln, should do his duty as a trustee; should take some active share in the trust; should endeavour to in troduce some system into its management; should open its benefi*s to the intended objects of its dorer's charity; and should occasionally visit the estates. lie will, he may be assured, ficd Bambo rough Castle a pleasant residence during the long vacation ; for, in addition to all its local uttractioss, it has a fine library of the elder Divines for learned leisure. The other four trueees are self-elected : their only qualification being that of holy orders. And it is difficult to say whether the qualification or the mode of elm tien is more injurious to the charity. The ecclesiastical qualification deprives it of lay ability and business experience of the highest order: perhaps, also, of that publicity which is so indispensable to good manage ment and to good repute. And the right of self-election has confided its administration to a particular class amongst the clergy ; that class being the one dis tinguished for the possession of pluralities, of cathedral sinecures, and of livings with monster incomes; dis tinguished, too, by its insensibility to its own posi tion and to public opinion ; having no fear of jobbery before its eyes; bat fondly, traditionally devoted to snug family arrangements. As, however, the trustees must be clergymen, our second suggestion in tie way of improvement is tha' on the next vacancy a poor curate, instead of a rich rector, be elected. The charity won't suffer by the personal acquaintance of its managers with poverty. And in the diocese of Durham, the spirit of its former apostle, BERNARD GILPIN, is more frequently to be found amongst its needy clergy than in the dignitaries of Durham. The present acting and self-elected trustees are 1. The Rev. DAVID DURELL, Vicar of Mongewell and Prebendary of Durham; 2. The Rev. W. N. DAR NELL, Rector of Stanhope, with 5,0001. a year ; 3. The Rev. C. THORPE, Rector of Ryton, Archdeacon of Durham, Prebendary of Durham, and Warden of Durham University ; 4. The Rev. H. G. LIDDELL, Rector of Euington, worth 1,3001. a year—a brother l of Lord RAVENSWORTR. All four are, of course, high tones and high churchmen; Mr. DARNELL and Dr. THORFE oceasioually soaring in . ° the mists of P usey ism. Two only, it will be observed,are at present plural ists and cathedral dignitaries. But it would be injus tice to Dr. DUBELL: and Dr. THORPE not to state, that when Mr. DARNELL was elected a trustee, he had those qualifications in more than ordinary vigour. For he was then a prebendary of Durham, vicar of Norham, and incumbent of St. Margaret's, Durham. Sub-equently he shed those benefices in a manner, for a purpose, and with a result, worthy of Durham in its very worst, or, as opinion may ran, in its very best, days. Even • tory House of Commons would not, it may be recollected, allow that meek prelate, who is said to bo most li bellous when most pra3erful, Dr. PrithLrorrs, to hold Stanhope in commendani with the see of Exeter. So to assist Dr. PHILLPOTTS into a stall at Durham,Mr.DARNELL consented to resign all his plu ralities and to be content with the single benefice of Stanhope. And by this very characteristic arrange ment he assumed the responsibility of 5,000/ a year, and the cure of half as many souls ; without, how ever, disqualifying himself for this trust. Bat, stranger still, at the time of his election, D. LIDDELL was neither a pluralist nor a dignitary ; and though, happily for society, pluralists are fast dying out, and reformed stalls scarce worth sitting in, this breach of precedent did not arise from any want of pluralists in the diocese. The practice had been to elect the archdeacons of the diocese trustees. Dr. BOWYER, Dr.l ROBERT THORPE, and Dr. SINGLETON, archdeacons of Northumberland, in succession, were al trustees. Dr. PROSSER, archdeacon of Durham, was a trustee; Dr. CHARLES THORPE (this family has an here ditary affection for Bamboreugh Castle and its sea breezes) is a trustee. But then these " eyes " of the bishops were all tory "eyes," high church " eyes." Times have changed ; now there is (and, alas! not at all for the better) a whig bishop; and he has whig "eyes," low church " eyes. Such, of course, are Archdeacons RAYMOND and %ohm. But whiggery and low churchiem are sad disqualifications for Lord CREWE'd trust; so when Dr. SINGLETON died, Dr. LIDDELL was elected. Now, Dr. LIDDELL, though a high tory and a high churchman, is a conscientious, eloquent, and efficient parish priest ; and does not, as we hear, commit waste with the coal underneath his large glebe. But, as a trustee, he only reigns ; he does not govern. The Easington colliers give him so much to do in his parish, as to leave him little time to attend matters out of it. Whereas, had Archdeacon RAY MOND been, as precedent dictated, elected instead of Dr. LIDDELL, he, not troubling himself with parochial duties, could have relieved his attendance at mecha nics' institutions by activity and vigilance in till'. trust. As it is, however, Dr. LIDDELL, it seems, takes small part in its administration. Dr. Iteuronn, we have shown, none at all. And age has incapacitated Dr. DURELL. Consequently the CREWE trust is sub- stantially at the mercy of Mr. DARNELL and Dr. THORPE. They it is who alternate, in fine weather, residence at Bamborough Castle. Over their heads it is that the standard of England flies on " Ida's tower, huge and square." Their sons it is for whom grouse is strictly preserved, a shooting-box erected on, and poachers warned from Blanchland Fells. By them are tenants changed, farms let, rents raised, notices to quit given, livings presented to, exhibitions conferred, votes crea ted, and the balance of 8,8001. aforemen tioned spent. They, in short, are such important per sonages, that it becomes interesting to know more of them. Both are thorough ecclesiastics—priests every inch of them ; loving the church for its slice ; loving the church for their own sakes. For it has made them princes in the land ; WOLSETS in miniature at Dur ham and Stanhope : powerful, magnificent, hosOtable ; blandly, conscientiously, inexorably intolerant; influencing through the trust upwards of 90 votes in the county of Northumberland ; yet rain ing its blessings on Durham only. Mr. DARNELL is all fortiter in re ; Dr. THORPE all suaviter in tnodo. No rushes to the mouth of the one, as congenially as yes simmers over the lips of the other. Bat, though thus differing in personal character, they are united by family links, welded in the perpetual curacy of Bamborongh ; and by this union the charity of Lord Caawa is not a little affected in its administration. This is who and what the trustees are. SWITZERLAND. We have advice" from Switzerland to the 24th inst. _ _ The Council of State of Tessin have replied to the note of the federal council, which we some days since noticed, that Mazzini is no longer in that canton, at least they are nearly certain that he is not ; that the incendiary political writings . and pamphlets are not sent into Lorabarby by Team ; that it is not true that a large contraband trade in arms is carried on ; and that the only refugees who remain are either ill or with their private friends. Before threatening the canton with an armed occupation, the council conceive the federal council should have satisfied itself of the truth of the allegations made, and not have admitted their truth on the mere assertion of Austrian notes ; and that on such ground the federal council cannot expect that the canton shall exhaust its resources by establishing a cordon militant.: By a despatch of the 20th, the Federal Commission ers communicated to the Council of State two letters of the General of Division, Count de Haller, in which he acknowledges the loyalty with which the authori , ties have sent away the refugees from the frontiers., and states that he has taken measures to prevent a 1 renewal of the violations of the frontier. The Piedmont.se Gazette of the 24th publishes a letter from the Sardinian government to the Federal Council, protesting agahist the measures they have adopted with res pe ct to the Italian refugees, and ex pressing a hope t ha t they will so modify them as to render as little severe as possible the steps a i t may be taken against those who may be in the esa. ton of Tessin. GERMANY. HAMBURG.—Our correepondent writes under date Hamburg, Jan. 26 : You will have observed by our newspapers that a skirmish took place oa the borders between a Danish partisan corps a 600 to 600 men,_ who craned the fro n ti er f rom Jutland into Schlrevrig, ar.d a troop of cavalry, assisted by a small division of Miasma, under the command of Certain V. Rubin' r, who attacked theta. After they had ante end he summons to surrender by firing at him and killing one of his, he routed there, killed thr e e , an d woun d e d 26, whom he made prisoners. Unimportant as the affair is, the sensation it created, taking plate during the armistice, was not sung. When the treaty was sigr:ed, all the German itreguler troops were withdr.,wn from the duchies and disbanded, to prevent • predatory warfare of this sort. The Danish government, it apps tie, did not take that precaution. According to some accounts, it was a part of ti.e Jutland " landstuna" (ory en mane) who committed that breach of the armistice, for the purp-se of preventing the tax payen from payin g th i k, taxes to the Schleswig. Holstein authorities. If this vertioa is comet, it was no doubt done with the connivance of the Danish government. titi.das, memorials, and addresses of all sorts, are pouring in upon the parliament in Frankfort a n d t h e Archduke John, Vicar of the Empire, from the towns of listzbury and Mblln, in the duchy of Lauenburg, about the succession, which his since time immemorial be en only in the mile line. When that duchy was c'ded by Hanover to Denmark all their rights were guarant.ed to them. They claim to be relieved from the Danish sceptre when the mai= line of the pre set kings is extinct, and to he transferred to the rule of the mile heir (t. e., the Duke of Holstein Augustenburg), and not to he separated from Germany. Another t etitten, from the prelates, nobles, and the owners of estate. which formerly belonged to noblemen in Schlep** sad Hetl.teic, in tact the representatives of the upper classes in their old parliame rats, as long as they existed, protested against Ma separation of the two duchies. They claim the continuation of their union, bath as an historical right of four centuries' standing and bcca'sae the ties and cont.r lions existing between them, cannot be separated, they say, without the ruin of both countries ; and therm fore they desire, as a basis of the pease, the undisturbed union. A petition to the same effect has been received from the town of Haderslebe n. The committee of the Spanish bondholders at Berlin are likewise petitioners to the parliament at Frankfort. They nsemorialtee the same as they did the P ru s s i an m i n i stry, to use their influence with Coe Austrian and Prusslan entre. merits to melee the Spanish government do something at last for the unfortunate foreign creditor, of Spain. They state the same facts which were expos. d in the British parlia ment ; and say, moreover, that the Dutch government his instructed its anabas.cdor at Madrid to that effect, and that the Belgian, the French. and English will do the same. They hope the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin will out rem in behind. The cftletal publication of the fundamental law, or Nil of rights of the German people, by the senate in our newspapers since Saturday lay, has not created that sensation which it did in other parts of Germany. Only the inhabitant, of the Jewish persuasion manife t a nervous desire to fee the 16 section put into practice ; and when you consider how Lug they have been struggling for their emancipation oksined by them under the reign of Napoleon, and ►natched main from them at his downfall, though they had been lighting against him in the rank. of their fellow•citizens, you will not blame theta for their present eagerneas. Since last night we have a gale of wind from the west, which will clear the river of the ice still left, and will sink it, so that we may expect the shipping quite open to-morrow. BRAZILS.—Dates from Bahia to the 24th Decem ber have been received in Liverpool, but there is nothing of iuterest to report. UNITED STATES.—We have received American pipers of the 12th, brought by the Waterlo", but they afford little to be added to the telegraphic despatch we ealblished yesterday. The slave question u approaching to a crisis. Tee motion for bringing in a bill prohibiting the slave trade in Columbia, had given rise in the House of Representatives I to counter motions. amendments, and their consequent warm discussions. The Illinois legislature have passed reenlutions instructing their senate's and representatives to obtain the prohibition of slavery in all newly-acquired territories. On the otter side, Mr. Calhoun has issued a manifesto urging the southern states to unite and prepare fur a concerted de fence of its "rights" against the aggressions of the north. The California mania is raging more generally than ever. Many holders of lucrative situations have given them up to b•. come gold seekers. Several artists, editors, printers, and doctors, have also joiced in the pilgrimage. Oa Wed nesday, the 10th, a " mass" meeting was held in New York, to organise an overland expedition to C.tliforn is. Articles of agreement, pledging the subscribers to abide by the orders and instructions of the president and directors, and to fur nish, from time to time, the necessary feeds, were signed by a large numbcr of persons, each paying the initistiou fee of 1 dot The printed report of a committee appointed at a pre vious meeting, was also produced and distributed. The cold in many of the states was unusually intense. The New York Courier and Inquirer complains of frozen types, and that their standing news " defied distribution, but was as had Red compact as adamant. *Mt gtourt. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Bishop of Oxford left the Castle to-day. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign offic , . The ministers great nt were Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancdl r, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Minter, Sir George Grey 1, istount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and the Ruled Carlisle. The council sat two hours and a half. Sir Henry T. De la Beetle bad an interview with Earl Granville yesterday at the office of the &aid of Trade. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR GUY CAMPBELL, BART.—This distinguished officer died at Athlone (which district he commanded since 1842), on the 27th inst. He entered the army as as ensign in 1794 ; was present in the battles if' &dein and Vimeira, and in the retreat to and battle of Corunna. In 1809 he served with the expedition to Weleheren, as aide de camp to Sir John Hope. In 1810 Captain Campbell acted as military secretary to General Campbell, then Governor of Gibraltar; but in 1812 the captain gave up this appointment to join his regiment (the 6th Foot) in Portugal ; he was present with it in the battle of Vittoria, end, in 1813, succeeded to the command at Ronces valise. Major Campbell was severely wounded in command of his regiment at the heights of &whaler, and for his gal lantry on that occasion was promoted in the field to the rank of lieut-colonel. He was also present in the actions at the Pyrenees in July and August, 1813, fur which he received the medal at the end of that year. Lieut.-Colonel Campbell returned to England in consequence of the severity of his wounds. He served again in 1815 in Flanders ; was attached to Sir Thomas Pinion's division, and was present at Quatro Bras and Waterloo.
