The new Keeper of the Seals (M. de Peyronnet) resided ever,the Court of Cessation for the first time on the 29th : the question to be decided was, whether a church was a sheellieriesse (donors mansionalis), and whether, consequently, the breaking of it open was a burglary.

It is said that there were many Preach officers in thii Persian army with which Prince ilirsa, the second see of t!.• Schuh, has undertaken this expedition. Leiters by the Hamburgh mail which arrived in town yesterday, dated the 26th December, inform us that the Tariff of Custom Duties was prolonged for a period, as proposed by the Senate.—By this convey. son we likewise have inkier* from St. Petersburg, of so late a date as the 12th of last mouth, at which time that city was exceedingly tranquil, and the fears which Ind arisen from the reports of a war betweea Russia and Turkey had considerably subsided, and those ra moats were generally discredited, nr at all events, the results were not so much feared as they had hitherto been. As a proof of the above, the Exchange kept its last advance steadily, being at the latest date 91. Winter did not set in at Petersburg till the 4th of December, when it commenced with a temperature of JO degrees (Resumer) below freesiog.

Many of the lower class of the Orangeries have coo sidered it as expressive of something like partiality to illiberal principles; on the other band, several Catho lic. apprehend that it is a symptom of disregard to their feelings. We can assure our readers. from un doubted authority. that it is neither the one nor the other. The fact is just this :—Shortly after the Procession arrived at the Castle, the Lord Mayor stated to Mr. Blake, that b. was prevented from accepting WI ho nour of Kaighthood by a regulation of the Corpord 2 tioo, by witioh. when the Sheriffs were knighted, the Mayor was directed to look for a higher boomer.— Mr. Blake, who is a Catholic, felt that he bad an op portlbity of niacin, a degree of liberality which would furnish a strong eoetrast to the narrow and selfish policy of the Dublin Corporation: altboogh catholics have, for nearly thirty years. a right to their Freedom in this Capitation, nooses Catholic has se yet been admitted. Actuated byllde geosrons senti ment, Mr. Blake promptly replied, that*. would re present the matter to the Marquess Wellesley, and if his good offices could have any influence with his Ex cellency. that the Lord Mayor's wishes should be com plied with —Accordingly. Mr. Blake took the first op pertnnity of mentionint ,the facts to his Excellency, adding. on leis own part, a respectful solicitation on behalf of the Lord Mayor. The reply was in substance. that the Lord Lieutenant would be happy to comply with Mr. Blake's request, and the result was, that the Lord Mayor was Knighted. with an as serenee that be should be recommended for a Baro netcy. Thus the Protestant Lord Mayor of Dublin is indebted to the interference of a Catholic Gentleman for the readiness with which a high honour is confer red upon him. Our statement may not be accurate in all its details. bat it is certainly correct in substance. and Or readers may rely upon it, that we have sufficient authority for what we assert on this subject. We trust, therefore, that any unfounded triumph on the one side, or un necessary jealousy on the other, will yield to a cer tainty, that the promoloa of the Lord Mayor has not►ing political in it, it baring originated in the courtesy of the Lord Lieutenant towards the city of Dahlia, and been effected through the medium of the liberal sad generous sentiments of a Catholic Barris ter towards the head of a Corporation, hitherto rather noted for its selfish and intolerant practices.
