(Private Correspondence.)— Amidst the preparations of festivities for the KING 's marriage, an unfortunate event has overwhelmed the Royal family with grief. The KING and their Royal Highnesses ' on their return from the Escurial, have learned the death of the young Infanta, Donna MARIA THERESA CAROLINA, the fourth daughter of the Infant Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, who succumbed at Ma drid, alter a long Bungle against a convulsive attack. Bishop WARBURTON, writing to Hurd, so far beck as 10752, says,--" You mention Noah's ark. I have really forgot what I said of it ; but, I suppose, I com pared the Church to it, as many a grave divine has done before me. The Rabbins make the giant dog or Magog contemporary with Norio, and convinced by his preaching, so that he was disposed tr. take the benefit of the ark. But here lay the distress ; it by no means suited his di mensions. Therefore, as he could not enter in, he con tented himself to ride upon it astride ; and, though you must suppose that, in that stormy weather, he was more than half boots over, he kept his seat, rid dismounted safely when the ark landed on Mount J.rarat. Image now to yourself this illustrious Cavelier, mounted on his hackney, and see if it does not bring before you the Church, bestrid by some lumpish Minister of State, who turns and winds it at his pleasure. The only difference is that Gog believed the preacher of righteousness and religion." A measure, founded upon the Report of the Common Law Commissioners, for the improvement of the system of Welch Judicature, is at present under consideration. Some alterations in the Circuits is in contemplation. French women are so accustomed to do every thing with a view to effect, that a modern writer says he is con- Awed that, " were a house full of them to be on fire, they would all throw themselves into elegant attitudes before bey called for assietaace."

HIXON TO COLONEL CUST. Cam's Us, Mosses, Nov. 14, 1129. Sint,—A letter relative to me and my claims upon the bounty of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, and pur porting to bear your signature, has been published in the Globe, and other newspapers, upwards of JI week ; and, but for accident, should I have remained in entire igno rance that you had condescended to notice the subject. You will be pleased to accept my apologies for intro ducing the subject so abruptly; but as you have not hesitated " publicly" to insinuate that the statements which have been published relative to the allowance of 241. per annum by her late Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte are false, I take the liberty to reply, " that so far from being tinged with falsehood, I am ready and willing to verify them upon oath," and must, in justice to myself, add to it, " that what you have published in the main is unfounded." In saying this, I must be un derstood to mean that you have been wilfully misinformed, and that you have written only what you believed to be true ; but I will go at once to the subject of your letter. William Smith was coachman to her late Royal High ness Princess Charlotte, but was not discharged by his present Majesty. He was incapaciated, by the serious injuries he received in his fall from the box, and from confinement to his room for many months to perform his duties. It never has been asserted that my name of Smith, or Hixon, was on the pension list of the Princess or Prince. The word " pension," instead of " allowance," was used inadvertently. When the accident happened to Smith, her Royal Highness regretted that she was not in $ situation to pension him, by reason that she had not arrived at her full allowances, but commanded that an allowance (if such must be the word) of 241. per annum should be made to me and my children, and a situation procured for Smith when he was capable of taking one ; and this was done in the Customs. It has never been asserted that my daughter, Jane Smith, had a pension ; and although the allowance was appropriated to the education of my daughter, if you will take the trouble to refer to Mrs. Campbell's letter to my husband, dated Cntnbourn Ledge, Jan. 11, 1815, already published, you will find that the allowance was not so considered to be made. Mrs. Campbell says, " Her Royal Highness has directed me to write to Mr. Willis on the subject, and to say it is her wish that the money due to her should be paid." With regard to Mrs. Campbell's communication to Mr. Ammerschubers, I know nothing ; bet this I know, when 1 la.* • (of and fearlessly and truly assert it, I last applied to that gentleman for the usual payment, his words were, " Madam, His Royal Highness can no longer afford to pay you." So much for the reason of its discontinuance, whatever may be the thought of its absurdity. With res p ec t to my signing " receipts"—.." allowance for my daughter Jane Smith's education," I may have done so ; but I did not apprehend that the allowance was to be discontinued after the period of her schooling should terminate. It is because I am in the decline of life that I so seriously feel the loss of her Royal Highness's bounty, and the difficulties I have to struggle with in placing a fatherless son and daughter on the world in decent situations, or the public and his Royal Highness would never have heard of me, after Mr. Ammerschubers' communication. I trust I shall be excused for importunity for the foregoing reasons, as well as by the knowledge that truth very seldom reaches the ears of Princes when interested foreigners are the organs of communication.—l have the honour to be, your very obedient servant, SARAH HIXON.

Nov. 17.—Our Cotten Market has been this day very lively ; the sales amount to 3,800 bags, 2,000 of which hale been taken on speculation, at free prices. A considerable quantity of Brasil has exchanged hands. Advices from Glasgow, received in the City this morning, sate there appears an indication of diminished distress among the work ing population, and that tents have been better paid than usual, with the exception of the bulk of the unfortunate weavers. This promptitude of payment is ascribed to the public works being all brisk. _ _ A morning contemporary gives quite a different account of our internal prosperity.

This Is an appalling picture of the issue if misgovernment, and would open the eyes of any ministry not utterly callous to the wretchedness of that commu nity, over the interests of which it is its duty to watch.-- But what is the occupation of the Premier and his colleagues during this tremendous crisis ? While their emancipated friends, the Papists, are amusing themselves by shooting Protestant Cke. omen, the hero of Waterloo is shooting pheasants, or swallowing adulation and thin claret at the Lord Mayor's table. While merchants and artisans are involved in one common tufo, and sinking, one by one, Into the vertex of insolvency, the hopeful rulers of the State are picking their teeth at Guildhall with as much nentsbalanwe as though there were no such thing as pauperism in the land or proligacy in the Cabinet.

The pre sent knot of ministers sit on the nation like incubi, and the country must arouse from its lethargy ere the unnatural burtben can be shaken off.—Mensing Journal. _ A correspondent of the Marsh's Omelets, on the same subject, writes thus :—Agricultural produce is rapidly verging towards the prices of 1883: meat, bacon, butter, cheese, are gradually approach ing a point of depression which it may be difficult to limit, but which must inevitably occasion far-spread ruin amongst farmers, and the classes immediately connected with them. The rich cheese of Somerset, which four years ago brought 109 s. per cwt. can now be bought at prices varying between 455. and 54s ! The very best Irish butter (Carlow) is scarcely worth 70.. and that from Waterford not more than 601. It may appear extraordinary that in our rich county of Berks, Waterford butter iti very eaten. lively supplied for winter use; yet such is the fact. The decline in price of this artiele of provision gives a striking illustration of the progressive fall in prices. At the last four autumn fairs at Reading, Waterford butter has annually declined from 945. to 84$. 745. and 641. per cwt.—the price at the last fair. Bacon ia selling at 435. to 45.. and of Irish pork an immense quantity is brought to the metro polis, which does not fetch more than thirty-four to thirty-six shillings per hundred weight. Perhaps it might be difficult to as certain the actual price obtained by the Irish farmer; but there can be little doubt that, after deducting all intermediate profits, corn- Inisdons, and charges, the clear amount is altogether inadequate to discharge his rest and taxes. So hopeless, indeed, has the receipt of rents become in Ireland, that a project has been suggested for taking rents in kind. The difficulties of carrying such a plan into effect are manifestly insuperable ; but the u caeca which the farmers are called upon to make in forcing off their produce have, nevertheless, led to the extravagant consideration of accepting produce in satisfaction of rent, and con. signing it to the London market ! The great cause of depression is want of consumption ; the mass are destitute of means to purchase the necessaries of life, in the proportion to witch they have been accustomed ; end hence an accumulation that reduces prices. Yet such is the pressure of taxation in this country, as compared with the generaltaxation of Europe, that even at the present ruinous prices, foreign produce is sold in our markets with profit, although bur theoed with duties on importation. The quantity of dried Ham burgh Beef sold in London has for some time been on the increase ; and in private letters from Petersburgh, an intention has been Lodi. cated of trying a shipment of that article for London. Wears already furnished with the Tallow, which is said to be in greater estima tion io that part of Runk where it is collected than the Beef. The project for supplying the London market with bread baked at Ostend, has long been entertained ; but it is doubtful, whether it could be successfully accomplished at this season of the year. To be effective, the supply must be uninterrupted; and assuming the passage to be made within twenty-four hours ass the average, two steam-vessels must be constantly employed--sn expense which would consume a large of profit. Set during the winter season, there could be little hope of reedit* Linden daily from Ostend. It is understood that Made and Muscat, both classed under the same bead, and subject to a comparatively small duty, are permitted to be imported, with a view of favouring the shipping interest ; nor was the possibility of importing bread, other than for shipping, coatemphite& But while such clause exist in *the Act, it is supposed that bread may be legally imported, on pay ment of the prescribed duty. THE DANISH CLERGY. The Reformation in Denmark was (as in many other countries) little more than a transfer of property from Catholic to Lutheran hands. The change was complete•. for at the present moment the number of Catho li cs in all De nmark is not sup• posed to eaee.d 2,000 ; the number of Jews befog about three times as many. The num'ier of Mennonites scarcely exceeds 300. and that of Moravian., or Herrnhuters, is calculated at 400. In many respects, however, the Lutheran Church has outstripped the Anglican in its reforms, and there is really a far more liberal spirit than esists in England, and a far more willing disposition to accomodate its situation to the knowledge and the &meads of 'the times. For instance. the D.nisie Bible Society, and the Clergy gene rally. have abandoned the famous verse of St. John. apiat.` I. ch. v. vet. 7 (or have printed it in a di ff ereat type, with a n otice that it isnot found in the early MSS. of the Gospel.) Now every Scripture critic knows that the verse is an interpolation and a forgery ; yet, in spite of the most irresistible_ evidence, it is retained in our ver sions. The Bishop of Copenhagen told me that be had pointed out to the British and Foreign Bible Society the incondsteoey of re tain in the 4 . Book of Truth"—witbout any comment, a verse iettodnced by Inconsiderateness or falsehood. Luther himself. in Met e printed the yens in another type, to show his opinion Olt • sod so it was printed in one, at least of the earliest versions of the English Bible. I mention :Ms fact as illustrative of a more re forming spirit existing in the Lutheran Church than can he found England. The Lutheran Clergy are poorly paid. The reve ngers ed the Metropolitan are less than milloo a year. and he lives a life of habitual literary labour. You may bad him the live long day among his books, when not engaged in his official duties. With him you may discourse on almost any topic with advantage, and employ in your colloquies French. English. German, Italian, or Danish. He spoke to me in terms of surprise and sorrow on the personal bickerings and disgraceful specimens of unchristian feeling which have been exhibited in Great Britain. and especially in Scotland, against the always well•inteadsd.thooth, perhaps, sometimes not omniscient labours of the Bible Society. He observed that the worse part of the spirit of Cadvadate—its hatreds, its persecutions, its to others—still diegraced many of its professors. The indictment was but too true—and I wished again and again tkat an opportunity could now and then be found far red-hot zealots to hear what great and good men afar off, too far to be Involved in chemists of their prejudices, think of their sayings and doings. Ido not mean to say that there is no faqaticism here. There is much, and it, has made several attempts to cover with opprobrium those who carry into practice the admirable counsel of the Apostle — l4 I speak as unto wise men : judge ye what I say." There is, in a few words. in the bosom of the Lutheran Church. a party re sembling that which in the Church of England is known by the name of the Evangelical. It is well that either party should believe as they will, or as they can. It is their right and their duty ; but that they should visit otbe:s with obloquy for not believing as they do is no part of their right, still less of their duty. In Denmark, the object seems to be keep peace—and it has bees proposed, I am told, that all religious polentics shall be discussed in Latin, in order that the " common people" may not be disturbed by the contro versy. This will not answer the end ; when the" common people" are ripe foe the controversy it is sure to reach them. and the wisest way is to allow all such mattes to " gee their gang." The French and German Calvinists have, however. a church here who choose their own Ministers and eers; and the Mora vian: were allowed by a Royal Decree of 17115, " quietly" to carry on public worship— th eir Director having the recognised title of et Agent." The Catholics assemble in the chapel of the Austrian linabaser. The synagogue of the German Jews was built down in 1765,anct has not sines been rebuilt. so they assemble in their private dwellings. They have been often the object of Royal or dinsuces, and, from a census odicially published, their numbers are, k seems, pretty stationary. Males. Females. Together.

That they do so, is evidence of the profession being a prosperous one. THE LATE EUGENIUS ROCHE, ESQ. • From the Courier. The following has been sent to us by one of the many ardent friends and admirers of the deceased ; and, as we believe all that may be said of the good may be said of him, we give ready insertion to it : Never was be known by any one who did not esteem, respect, and. with warm, with font* attachment, love him. If ever It could be truly said of mortal breast that it streamed with the milk of human kindness, of his it may most truly. He had, indeed, a tear for pity, and a band, far as his power, open as day to melt ing charity." Never did a more benignant, more affectionate, a sincerer, purer, more honourable heart, warm with animation. Ardent, almost romantic, in all the generous sensibillies, be w a yet free, wholly exempt, from any of the virulence. or acrimonies of our nature—truly without a taint of malice, ran cour, or even a feeling allied to vindictiveness, at least bey o nd the fleerieg resentment of the moment When lately assailed by the violence of party Journals, be knew no enmity. nu exasperation, even no soreness, beyond what he felt for the feelings of those who were dearer to him than himself—his family. Judging of others by himself, he was candid, open, unsuspicious. confiding—indeed, too confiding for his own interests. Without fear might be have had the mirror held up to his most inward thought for public view. Would, alas! for his afflicted, disconsolate family's sake, it were so with all those in whom be trusted! Nor were his accomplishments and talents unworthy his din. positions and sentiments. The gentlest, blandest manners that ever made individual welcome to the social drcle ' united with the most unstudied, genuine of polishdemeanour, had rendered him the beloved man in all the relations of life, as well as sbewed him ever the easy, perfect gentleman ; while he was, if possible, even still more mild, more soothing, to his inferiors and dependent. than to his equals. The most unaffected modesty threw a further charm around his society ; and, as if to render him yet more tenderly endeared, that species of apparently childish simplicity which often accompanies understanding and genius of the highest order, and certainly accompanied those of a very high rank in him, conspicuously marked his mind, and gained him the " heart of hearts" of all his acquakitanee. He was certainly of the most amiable of human bet:lgo—indeed, "made to be loved." As a husband, a father, a friend, a companion, a master, or a sum. her of society, be left few equals, none superior, behind him. He was, upwards of the last twenty years. attach, d to the pe.
