!Just ready, in post Bvo. THE CLOCK MAKER By SAM SLICK. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. HAMBURGH, FEB. 28, 1837. ALL those who may have to write to us are re quested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH; but neither the denomination BANKERS, or LOTTERY CON TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on the Address ; and Letters directed HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH, without any furt.ler remarks or description, will do for any Branch of our multifarious Tinsiness. We beg further to observe, that a Letter with one encloure doubles the postage only, but several en closures would by far increase the same • thus 201. 401, or 801., for instance, if remitted h. , one Bank of England Note would only cause double postage ; but >' o l. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes, or Four Five-pound Notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is, therefore, most a‘lvisable for those having to remit money to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible, in One Note, or One Check, or one 17ank Post Bill, &c. &c. The same is advisable on receiving Money from Hamburgh. Of course, large sums, to be received from Hamburg2', amounting to some or many thousands may rather be received in .Bills of Exchange on London. All those having to give any Orders for sue Branches of our Business as CANNOT BE EXECUTED LATI.-.R THAN BY THE MAIL FROM HAMBURG II OF THE 28th MARCH, are requested TO LOSE NO TIME IN FORWARD:NG THE SAME, and to FOR WARD THEM BY THE REGULAR STEAMER, as the Post via France takes too long. The LONDON STEAMER of the 21st and 24th of March will be THE LAST MAILS that can be expected to reach Hamburgh before the 28th of March. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of Tim SuN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1837. In the House of Lords, the Newbold Inclosure Bill, the Worcester County Hall Bill, and the Transfer of Aids Bill were severally read a third time and passed. The Royal Mint Bill was read a second time. A good deal of discussion, it will be seen, was inciden tally raised, on the presentation of petitions relating to Church-rates. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he should this day present a petition from the Canadian House of Assembly, complaining of abuses. Lord DUNCANNON laid upon the table official doCuments connected with the state of the Criminal Law. Ia tha House of Commons, Captain PECHELL gave no tice that he would, on the sth of April, call the attention of the House to the system of allowing Members of Com mittees on Private Bills to vote without hearing the evi dence taken before those Committees. The St. Pancras Paving Bill was lost by a majority of 18. The Wills Bill, which had been brought from the Lords, was read a first time and ordered to be printed. The Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Great Western (Paddington line) Railway Bill having been read, Mr. T. Du NCOMBE—after a short speech, suggestive of reflections on the real cause why" the Bishops oppose the settlement of the Church-rate question--moved as an amendment—" That the Bill be recommitted, with a view to ascertain the terms upon which the Bishop of LONDON had disposed of the lands in question to the Great Railway Company." This amendment was negatived without a di vision, and the Bill ordered to he engrossed. Mr. MACLEAN asked several questions relative to recent events in Spain. It was stated by Mr. CRAM-ES WooD, in answer, that no accounts of the events reported to have taken place at St. Sebastian had been received by the Go vernment ; nor was he aware that there had been any tele graphic communication with Paris. Mr. ROBINSON brought forward a resolution, to the effect that foreign corn be allowed to be manufactured into flour in this country in bond. Mr. POCLETT TitomsoN opposed the motion. The debate was adjourned to that day three weeks. The House then went into Committee on the Imprison ment for Debt Bill. On arriving at the 12th Clause, Mr. W;ISON moved " the omission of the words recog nizing the exemption of Members of the House of Com mons from the full operation of the Clause." After a dis cussion, brief, but exceedingly interesting, and to which we direct the especial notice of our readers, the Committee divided. The numbers were—For the amendment, 39 ; against it, 27. Mr. RoßrNsoN last night brought forward a mo tion, the object of which was to allow foreign Corn bonded here, to be ground and exported in the state of flour and meal. The form in which the subject was brought under the consideration of the House, was that of a Resolution which the Honourable Gentle man proposed should be passed to the following effect : That the laws which prohibit the manufacture of foreign grain, flour, and meal in bond for exportation, are injurious to the interests of British navigation, and unjust :n restraining the free employment of capital and labour in the United Kingdom, whilst they afford direct encouragement and undue advantage to the foreigner in a valuable branch of trade, not only with other states, but with our own colonies ; and that it is expedient to alter and amend the same." It may, perhaps, puzzle people of plain understanding to discoveron what grounds a proposition so reasonable could be objected to. The simple ►natter of fact is this, that by our absurd and impolitic restrictions with respect to foreign corn, a most valuable branch of commerce is entirely cut off from our merchants and ship owners, without bringing any equivalent advantage, or indeed any advantage at all, to any other class of the community. There is a very considerable demand from our West India Colonies, and occasionally from America, and other quarters for flour and meal. The produce of Great Britain is excluded from these markets by its high price, and the consequence is, that the consumers on the other side of the Atlantic resort to the Continental markets f:x the supply of their wants. Now, were the grain, %,hich is by law allowed to be bonded in this country, allowed also to be converted into flour and meal, the essels that now sail in ballast from Bristol, Liver tool ard other ports, would take out cargoes on which c,tir merchants would realize a profit ; and thus that trade which is in the hands of foreigners, and which, without some alteration in our present laws, must con tinue so, would be transferred to us. This is so plain a matter that it needs no illustration. The only objection attempted to be raised against the plan seems to be, that it might lead to fraud, and thus prejudice the interests of our agriculturists. But tirely this is rather a matter for consideration in a Committee, than a valid objection to the Fin ;iple of a measure. This was the opinion of Mr. POULETT THOMSON, who hinted, that if Mr. ROBINSON had moved for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject he would have agreed to it. When, however, an amendment to that effect was moved by another Member, and the Right Hon. Gentleman had said that he would support it, another amendment was moved by Lord JOHN RUSSELL for adjourning the discussion, which, we are sorry to say, was carried. We fear this does not augur well for the ultimate fate of the measure. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who, we understand, has been prevented for some time past from taking his seat in the House of Commons, in consequence of severe indisposition, has addressed the following letter to Mr. PoUNCEY, by way of answer to a question put to him by Mr. DEVEAR, at the request of some electors of Westminster, who were naturally desirous to know his opinion of the policy of the present Administration : " Brighton, 12th of March. " DEAR MR. POUNCET,—I .am requested by some electors of Westminster, who met at the British Coffee-house on Friday, the 3d of March, to return to you an answer to the following question—. What is my opinion in regard to the Ministerial measures now before Parliament ?' I thought my former answer to Mr. DEVEAR could leave no doubt on this point. I can, therefore, only repeat my entire disapprobation of them, and of the whole system of Ministerial policy, both foreign and domestic; that the measures now before Parlia ment are ill concocted, unjust in principle, feebly sustained, and mischievous to the public. A question so general admits only of such a general answer; but it is, I trust, sufficiently explicit. " I remain, Sir, with the utmost respect, yours very sin cerely, " F. BURDETT." This letter will, we suspect, be read by the West minster electors with more regret than surprize ; for the Hon. Baronet has long since ceased to be a Reformer, except in the Tory interpretation of the term. But how humiliating, to see the man who in the prime of life was the sworn champion of Reform, " Westmin ster's pride and England's glory," degenerate in his old age into a mere Conservative driveller ! Who would have imagined that so tame a sun-set would have fol lowed so brilliant a dawn ? In the Sir FRANCIS BURDETT of the present day, we cannot recognize one feature of the Sir FRANCIS BURDETT of ten years back. The Reformer of 1827 was bold, active, energetic, uncompromising ; the Reformer of 1837 is slothful, vacillating, full of distrust, and beset by all sorts of apprehensions. We defy the most experienced Tory practitioner to twaddle in a more genuine, heart-felt spirit, than does the Honourable Baronet in the letter which we have quoted above. It is worthy the pen of a KENYON or a NEWCASTLE. Of course the elec tors of Westminster will take up the subject, and give Sir FRANCIS a hint about the expediency of resigning; for it is impossible that they can allow them , selves longer to be represented—say rather, mis-re presented—by one whose political opinions are di rectly at variance with theirs ; and who is falsifying, if not in letter, at least in spirit, every profession which he made tliem on the hustings. What, let us ask, is the cause of :he Hon. Baronet's quarrel with Minis ters ? Are the; diverging from the broad high-way of Reform, or are they moving along it too rapidly ? Nothing of the sort. They are proceeding steadily, in strictest accordance with the forms and spirit of the Constitution ; but they happen to be receiving the frequent support of Mr. O'CONNELL, whom Sir FRANCIS honours with his signal dislike, and hence, we suspect, originates his disapprobation of their policy. We foresee that at no distant period the Honourable Baronet will become just as stanch an ultra-Tory, as he once was an ultra- Reformer. He is exactly the sort of wood out of which to hack a bigot. Just now he is in a chrysalis condition ; but he will soon put forth wings, and flutter in the political atmosphere as unequivocal a Tory butterfly, as even a SiwritoRporaWETHERELL. Under these circumstances the Westminster electors have but one course to pursue. It is their duty, without an instant's delay, to call on the Hon. Baronet, respect fully but firmly, to resign the mis-representation of that city. In electing him, they imagined of course that they were electing a Reformer; but now that they find themselves mistaken, they must hasten to rectify their blunder. Our Tory Contemporaries will, of course, hail the apostacy of Sir FRANCIS as a triumph for their party. They are perfectly welcome to him. He is worthy of them, and they are worthy of him. " Sure, such a pair Were never seen So justly formed to meet by nature !" In our Police Report yesterday, two charges were preferred at Bow -street, by the Solicitor to the Post office, against a letter carrier employed in the Inland office, for stealing letters, the one containing a money order, the other a 51. note. By the evidence produced against tire prisoner, it appeared that a great number of letters containing money have been stolen lately in that de partment. The great feature of the Post-office Establish ment ought to be its security. We never could understand why a system of registering money letters could not be resorted to in this country ; or why it was abolished in Ireland, immediately after Sir EDWARD LEES was ap pointed to Scotland, under whose management in Dublin it was found to work so well. Sir EDWARD LEES, in his evidence before the Commissioners of Enquiry, states that " the amount of lost notes paid by the Bank of Ireland, in 1823, was 12,0001.,"—whereas he says—" In the last return I obtained from the Bank of Ireland the whole sum they had paid for that quarter for lost notes was 350/., for every letter to and from England, to and from Dublin, and through the interior of the country ; of this amount and number there were only , four letters (three containing a one pound note each, the other containing a half of an hundred-pound note), directed to Dublin."— Vide Appendix, page 812 of the 19th Report. This evi dence was given in 1826, a ft er th e R eg i s t r y Sy s t em h a d been in operation about two years. In 1829, the last year of this excellent check upon money-letters, the amount paid by the Bank of Ireland was somewhere about 3001., and this was paid to persons who had failed to register their letters. For the establishment of a Registry-office in Dublin two or three clerks were appointed, at an expense of about 2001. a-year, there being no extra charge for sending money-letters. If we remember . right, Sir EDWA ItD LEES suggested to the Commissioners of Enquiry that an experi ment might be made of registerin g money letters, by confining it to the three Capitals, direct to the post towns, and to country post towns holding direct ac counts with others ; but that all letters registered for other cross-posts should be first sent to the Capital, and then register.id on. Tire delay would very seldom ex ceed 24 hours, winch would be no object contrasted with security. Surely this is worth the attention of the present Commissioners of Enquiry into the abuses of tire Post-office, and his Majesty's Postmaster-General. Letters fr om S an Sebastian to the morning of the 16th instant have been received, bringing details of th e movements of General EVANS'S division to the even- Lig of the 15th. On the 12th the Anglo-Christinos carried Ihe village of Loyola ; on the 14th they drove the Carlists at the point or the bayonet from some houses beyond it, which w , .'re required to shelter the troops from the torrents of rain that for three days poured incessantly ; and on the 15th they made them selves masters of the Venta 7 hill which commands Her nani, after several hours' hard fighting, and the loss of about 500 killed and wounded. The action lasted ou, an early hour in the morning till dusk, when the last Fosition was carried in the most gallant style by two brigades of the British Legion. An e ve-witness describes the Venta-hill as " the key to Hernani,'' and the strongest position possessed by the Carlists in the province of Guipuscoa. General EVANS was foremost in conducting the attack, and in the course of the day was conspicuous wherever was the greatest danger, cheering on his men, who en thusiastically responded to his appeals to their gallantry. Throughout the whole of the opera. dons detailed in these letters, his personal bravery is not more warmly applauded than the high order of military talent which he displayed. His troops, Spa nish and English, did honour to themselves and the cause in which they were engaged, by their heroic de termination to overcome every obstacle. The Venta hill was carried solely by the valour of the Anglo• Spanish force ; the Royal Marines being held, during the whole day, in reserve, within sight of the action. The Marine Artillery threw a number of shells and shot in the course of the engagement, with that mur derous precision for which this corps is justly cele brated. LOrd JOHN HAY, the Hon. Captain PEL nAm, Captains DACRES and HENDERSON, and the Hon. Mr. PLUNKET, were spectators of the gallantry of the Anglo-Christino force. As the intelligence from San Sebastian is not of so late a date as the Bayonne telegraphic despatch re ceived on Monday, announcing the defeat of General EVA NS, we are still in the same state of uncertainty as to the authenticity of that communication. We will not repeat doubts which our letters of the 15th from San Sebastian have tended to confirm, inasmuch as a few hours may put an end to all uncertainty on the subject. _ _ Generals ESPARTERO and SAARSFIELD are, we understand, both indisposed. The maladies that afflict Spanish General Officers appear to be of a very pecu liar kind. They always seize upon them on the eve of warlike movements, and stick to them while the atmosphere is impregnated with the smell of gunpowder. Ali Asian was but an infant to the least of them in boasted courage in time of peace, or when entering a peaceable hamlet at the head of . their battalions ; but on the prospect of an en gagement, they rarely escape the attack of some fearful distemper which confines them to their head quarters, till they can appear abroad without danger of encountering an enemy. The cause of this must be sought for in the jealousies, intrigues, and politi ca l sentiments of the Spanish Generals —not in any de. fect in personal bravery. The Spaniards, nationally and individually, are as brave a people as ever existed ; and SAARSFIELD,of whose loyalty we entertain strong suspicions, is the descendant of a race of heroes-- not of Spanish, but of Irish origin. But if, as is reported, the command of this General's division during his ill ness has been given to Colonel CONRAD, it will mat ter very little whether his sympathies are Carlist or Constitutional. CONRAD is a French officer of dis tinguished bravery, and we have no doubt will prove himself well worthy .of the trust reposed in him. Would that some other French officer of equal ability were to take charge of ESPARTERO'S troops, and thus allow him, before his Bilboa laurels are quite faded, to retire to some watering place in the Pyrenees, if he be of opinion that the air of La r Granja would i:ot prove more beneficial to his health. We !tad almost forgotten to state that in carrying the heights of the Venta-llernani, Col. De LANCEY, of the Ist Regiment of the British Legion, was mor tally wounded. ad LA NCEY was a fine officer ; ad mired by his comradeS, and idolized by the men. General EVANS was near him w.lyen he fell, and ex pressed the deepest sorrow for his untimely fate. The Paris Papers of Monday contain no domestic news of any interest. The distress of the Lyoneoa manufacturers is said to engage the serious attention of the Ministers of Commerce and the Interior. There ate no fewer than from twenty to thirty thousand per sons out of employment, and for these and their fami lies the Government is now called upon to provide bread. Men willing and able to work will not submit to be starved to death without some attempt to alleviate their misery, and the state of political feeling in France will not allow Ministers to disregard the claims of such a multitude of able-bodied individuals. The working population of St. Etienne are also reduced to the greatest extremities for want of employment. In fact, trade, throughout the Southern Departments of France, is as bad as it can be ; and yet the Ministers lack either the knowledue or the honesty to relieve it, by removing the absurd restrictions which shackle and paralyse it. In our extracts from the papers—Morning and Evening will be found a summary of the gossip of the French Metropolis. Dutch and German Papers have been received. They arc barren of all interesting intelligence. A report of the death of the King of Prussia was circulated on Saturday, but no confirmation of the rumour havin ,, since arrived, there is every reason to •believe it un- Galignani. The Duke ✓ of Wellington will not return to town until the re-assembling of Parliament after the Easter recess. Sir G. Hamilton, Secretary of Legation at Berlin, will leave town in a few days for the Prussian capital. Sir George returned to Lower Brook-street from a visit to his brother, Captain Hamilton, at Duddingstone, the seat of the Marquis of Abercorn, near Edinburgh. It is rumoured that it is at the desire of the Emperor of Austria that Prince Esterbazy is to continue to represent the Austrian Court for two or three years longer. The Chancellerie of the Russian Embassy has been in a state of great bustle during the last week. Communica tions with the Foreign Department and messengers from Vis count Palmerston's office have been frequent—they are supposed to relate to the capture of the Vixen schooner. ne s ty c ,, o f t v, : o l i f irn t e e r lo s , e C hro a ru l e i s imot in i will The Earl of Westmoreland is labouring under an almostains total d ao e -it p iniol r so i v \r : or t ,f2 i: s.t n t,mhf o oei r f ri trA.. late Nbrebi b stcr in the same grave as her distinguished husband.

The Royal William steamer, the property of the city of Dublin Company, arrived at her moorings off Ironaate Stairs, early this morning, from Ireland. The number of hours occupied in steaming the distance from Dublin to Gravesend, touching at Plymouth, was 62 hours, 52 minutes, a speed we believe unequalled, when the weather she had to encounter is taken into consideration, for during the entire passage from Plymouth to the South Forel an d, s h e had to struggle against a very heavy gale of wind f rom E.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS A Quarterly G•meral Court of the Proprietors of East In u : Stock was held 'this dav ; Sir JAMES R. CA RN AC in the Chair After some preliminary routine business, Mr. BIRNIE called the attention of the Court to the late attack on the Deputy Chairman. IP! thought that if possible the Court ought to know what were the circumstances that induced Kearney to make that attack, particularly after the statement he had made at the Mansion-Louse. He thought it was the duty of the Chair man to disabuse the public mind on the subject. He ( Mr. Birnie), with reference to what took place on Wednesday last, was authorised to state that fie Deputy Chairman did not make use of any insulting language. All who knew him were aware that the Deputy Chairman was, from nature and disposition, one of the kindest men that ever lived. At the critical moment when the Deputy Chairman had promised to assist his son out of his own private resources, Kearney rushed upon him with a dagger in his hand and struck him on the chest, on the head, and afterwards in the neck. None of the wounds however were of a dangerous nature, and he was happy to say that the medical men, under whose care he was, considered him in a fair way of recovery. The CHAIRMAN said it was not his intention to have brought the matter before the Court, but the Ho nourable Proprietor having done so, he would beg the attention of the Court to a statement of facts rela tive to Kearney, and if that did not refute the gross calumny on Mr. Loch uttered by Kearney, he knew nothing that could. If ever an individual showed kindness and for bearance to another, it was the Deputy Chairman towards the man Kearney. Tire statement, a very long one, was then read by the clerk. It completely refuted all the charges brought by Kearney against the Deputy Chairman and the Company. A certificate, signed by Sir Benj. Brodie, was also read, stating that the Deputy Chairman was going on favourably. Mr. LAURIE moved a resolution congratulating the Deputy Chairman on his fortunate escape from assassination, and ex pressing a hope for his speedy recoversy. The motion was seconded by Mr. Twisn4n, and put and carried amid loud cheers, and ordered to be advertised in the different papers. The CHAIRMAN said he should feel great pleasure in in forming his friend the Deputy Chairman of the resolution which the Court had just passed. (LEFT SITTING. ) CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER CF nowNtso COLLEGE. The Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and the Vice-Chancellor sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall, to hear the petition of a Gentleman at the Bar, named Alfred Power, re ferred by his Majesty to the Lord Chancellor, as the visitor of Downing College. which prayed that the election of a gen tleman, named Worsley, to the Mastership of the College, might be declared void, and that the petitioner was the pro per person to be appointed. The petitioner contended, that according to the true construction of the charter by which the College was constituted, the Master must be a layman and not a clergyman, which Mr. Worsley was.—Tho case appears likely to occupy several days, some of the most eminent men at the Bar being engaged in it. Among them are the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, Sir W. Follett, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Jacob. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our only arrival this morning is a French mail. We havo no ship-letters, owing to the prevailing north-easterly winds. There were several reports afloat yesterday respecting the present situation of our commercial affairs with the United States,las to the assistance to be given to the merchants trading with that country. It was stated that bills of exchange should be drawn by the Bank of the United States, instead of by pri vate merchants ; and that an engagement should also be en tered into, to remit a corresponding amount in specie to that of the bills drawn. Another report also prevailed that the Pre sident of the United States Bank had arrived in London, pre pared to give his consent to this arrangement; but this state ment is much doubted in the city by th monied interest. The course of Exchange at New York on London is 109ii per cent., and the par of Exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is seven per cent. in favour of England. The Foreign Exchange did not advance yesterday after noon, but obtained the quotations of last post. Consols rather improved in the afternoon of yesterday, and closed at 891 ; for the April Account, 90 to i ; and opened this morning at 901 1 for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 28 prem. ; India Bonds, 23 25 prem. ; Bank Stock shut. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active left off 21k to 224- ; but owing to there being no confirmation of the telegraphic despatch of the 13th, Spanish improved to 231 a ; Portuguese 47 to 471 ; Three per Cents., 30} ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half pi Cents., 52k The express from Paris this morning still leaves us without any details of the retreat of General Evans. All the accounts from the frontiers of Spain and St. Sebastian are only of the date of the 16th inst., and the telegraphic despatch with the disaster was dated the 18th. In all probability we may receive further information in a telegraphic despatch in the course of the day. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Spanish funds, which were improving in the early part of the morning, and done at 23k, within a short period gave way, and receded about 2 per cent., and may at present be quoted at 22, owing to a report that an express had arrived to the Carlist party with a confirmation cf the retreat of General Evans. As yet we hare not obtained any particulars on the subject. _ _ _ Consols have improved to 90i- 4 for the Account ; Nloney, 90, in consequence of several mercantile houses in the Ame rican trade being relieved by the timely assistance of the Bank with a large amount. Exchequer Bills improved to 28 ; India Bonds to 27. In the Foreign Market very little doing, except in Spanish, which has declined ; Portuguese also lower ; Five per Cents., 471 ; Throe per Cents., 31 ; Passive, 01 ; Deferred, 9 ; Dutch, 521. In the Share Market nothing doing. At the India House this morning, a statement was read, prepared by the Directors, showing that the account given by Kearney at the Mansion-House, of ill-treatment by the De puty- Chairman, was grossly unfounded. Mr. Loch has nearly recovered. We have received Dutch Papers to the 221 instant, with the prices, by the //Wavier—Five per Cents., 100 7-16 ; Two and a Half, 52i. _ THREE O'CLOCK. Consols fur the Account, 90k to 901. The House of Lords adjourn tilt Thursday fortnigli for the Easter recess. Major Scarlett, the second son of Lord Abinger, is the new Conservative candidate for Guildford. Prince and Princess Polignac visited the Marquis and :Marchioness of Downshire, in Hanover-square. In the course of the day the Prince and Princess were visited at Mi vart's Hotel by the Countess Bjornstjerua, Lady Mary, and the Hon. Miss Petro, Lady Stewart, Lady Emily Drummond, Hon. Miss Drummond, Mr. Mortimer Drummond, Major de Tiran, Sir T. Higgins, Mr. Ross, Miss Milner, &c. During the fortnight, from February 26th to the lith inst., twenty-one steam-packets arrived at Boulogne from England with 468 passengers, and the same number of packets took their departure with 607 passengers from the Same port. The complaints of stagnation in all the manufac turing towns of F ran c e , a n d the fears of a commercial crisis, increase each day. It is rumoured that the Rev. Mr. Convbeare is likely to succeed Dr. Beeke as Dean of Bristol. In the diocese of Bergen, hundreds of persons have given notice of their intention to emigrate to North America. Lord Lyndhurst and his (laughter arrived in Paris on the forenoon of Monday last. Tuesday presented the extraordinary anomaly of persons crying asparagus about the streets during a heavy fall of snow•. The Augsburgh Gazette gives a letter of the 2d inst. from Naples, stating that the cold still continues un usually severe in that city. No one can remember the moun tains in the neighbourhood having ever before been so deeply covered with snow as at present. This fact is the more sur prising as, during the last month, there had been several warm days. The King and Queen aro at present at Caserta. A letter of the :28th ult., from Palermo, published in the same journal, states that his Majesty has given an order for the ne cessary works for forming a port at Catancs, on the coast of Sicily. According to a letter of the 10th inst. from Berlin, we learn that the health of the King of Prussia declines so fast, that but little hope remains that his life can be preserved for any length of time. His Majesty's strength fails daily, and the chronic disease of his liver has for some time past assumed an alarming character.— Gazette de France. STATE OF TRADE.—The cloth-market is very much depressed. All descriptions of 6-Bths and 7-Bths are m aterially reduced in price. Yarns are also on the decline. i-ell cords and velveteens still maintain good prices. A general gloom and want of confidence are apparent in the market. —Manchester Times.

SAN SnAsTtAN, Matreu 14 , O'CLOCK, P.m.—The sharp e a L I b l s e u ti cc n i took place on Sunday last, has e td r4t affair Evans to make a further movement hi ad vahf2e. His ontrosts are, at this moment, within less than i. tusket shot of Astigarraga, being stationed aicn the hills •ich comman d that village, and they say here that all the e ff„ -ts of the C arlists cannot prevent him from occupying the high :oad bet' .veen Irun and Hernani. Let me now proceed to lnirticulara. About 12 o'clock this day, positive information inQ recei , ed that Saarsfield was rapidly marching uponTolosa, Geneval F.vans immediately ordered the rifles and the 4th re ginac-nf- to move on front the positions they then occupied, and tah.e a house w hi c h stoo d upon a hil l d i rectly in front of them. in the mean time they were supported by numerous corps of Spaniards, who moved upon the point by the pontoon bridge, which has been thrown across the lirernea, while a strong force of artillery, with shells, rockets, and mountain howitze.-s, marched in the same direction. The British ma i rocs formed a powerful reserve ; and a body of British sailors ranged themselves the coast of the Amatza hiil, with a gun and some shells, which they brought with diem from Pas sages. Lord John Kay put two very brief questions to the officer who led them ua, and received as laconic replies. Both are peculiarly charactcmristic of that spirit which, under every circumstance, distingu:.shes the service of Old England from any other in the worli. " Well, Dacres," said the Commo dore, " where are your men ?" " All here, Sir." " Where is your gun ?" " Cle so to, Sir." I noted the words on the spot, and shall nevc,r forget the prompt manner, but respectful tone in which they were uttered. The troops of the legion, who were ordered to advance, formed part of General Chi chester's brigade, and they certainly looked as if they were determined neither to give nor receive quarter. It was past four o'clock before the firing commenced, and from that mo ment down to about half-past five, incessant volleys were kept up on both sides. The Carlists fought much in detached bands from behind trees and parapets, at the same time they frequently rushed forth upon their foes into the open ground, yet almost always driven back at each repeated attempt. The soldiers of the legion fought with desperation, while a raking tire of round shot and spherical cases, clearing the way for them as they advanced, they drove the Carlists from the hill, just before night set in, and have thus gained a most important position. No accurate account of the loss on either side has yet been made out, and I shall hazard no conjecture upon it. That the Carlists, however, have suffered severely, I am per fectly convinced; for the artillery did, as usual, tremendous execution among them, and the four guns which they had in play, two from the Venta, and two from hills, which are nearer to the scene of action, produced little or no effect. In the midst of the struggle an incident occurred which af fords an additional proof, if any were wanting, that the truly brave man is always humane, and that no act can shed greater glory on individual prowess than to spare or save a fallen foe. A Carlist chapelgorris officer, haying his leg dreadfully frac tured by a shell, was lying on the ground in a pitiable state, when a soldier of the rifles, burning for vengeance, prepared to knock his brains out with the butt-end of his firelock. He was in the very act of aiming the fatal blow, when fortunately his arm was seized by General Chichester, who happened to be standing on the spot, and at once compelled him to desist. The looks of the wounded Carlist gave a deeper and more im pressive eloquence to his gratitude than any language could impart. On the instant, however, Dr. Duplex, the surgeon of the rifles, presented himself to him with his knife ready drawn to cut off the shattered limb. The unhapyy man, hews. over, fearing that his tortures might be prolonged, implored them with tears of agony to dispatch him within the shortest possible period. - lie was pcomptly re-assured. He was told that to save his life was the main object in view, arts in order to effect it, it was absolutely indispensable that he should un dergo the operation. On hearing this, the poor fellow n o t only submitted to the knife without the slightest resistance, but mingled the repeated expressions of his gratitude with the depths of his moans. This ancients awarded a civic crown to the man who saved a citizen. Much more than a civic crown ought to be awarded to the man who saves the life of an enemy in so horrible a war as that which now rages in the north of Spain. MARCH 15, NINE ?.11.—The formidable Volta is taken, and the Anglo-Spanish force expect to enter Hernani to morrow morning. General Evans being determined to fol low up the important advantages he had gained on th e preceding day, was anxious not to lose a single moment, and, though the weather was most inclement, he still made up his mind to proceed. Accordingly, about twelve o'clock this day, he had a combined force of about 6,000 men mustered upon the lines, nearly half of whom were Spaniards. General Godfrey's brigade, composed of the 6th Scotch, commanded by Colonel Ross, and the ith Irish, by Colonel Beckham, with the Chapelgorris, who positively refused to fight by the side of any other troops than the English, occupied th e right, together with the Royal Marines and some British sailors, who formed a rocket troop. It being intended that the grand attack upon the Vent* should be made on the left, in the direction of A stigar raga, the main forces of the Legion was kept in re serve for that purpose. It was nearly one o'clock before the firing commenced, and then General Godfrey's brigade, rush ing forward with a charge and a cheer, carried the Carli;t out poet on the Hernani-road in less than ten minntei. Imme diately afterwards an incessant discharge of musketry was heard both from Christinos and Carlists, while the roaring of British cannon of every calibre served as the only t'esponse to it. The Carlists, from the moment they wore driven from their outposts, fought with desperation, but all to no purpose. It was evident they were resolved to make any sacrifice rather than yield that important position. Pressed, however, on all sides, they had no alternative but flight or death, They pre ferred the former, and at seven o'clock this evening, the and 10th regiments of the Legion, forming part of the reserve, took possession of the Vents, and of two pieces of artillery, which had been fired at till after the ammunition in the battery was expended. The loss on both sides is said to he nearly equal—about 500 in killed and wounded, The Legion has to regret the fate of Colonel D . e Lancey, w h o f e ll , mortally wounded, at the head of his regiment. FRANCE. (rrom the French Papers of Monday.) A letter from Oran, dated 28th February, to the Toulonais, has the following paragraph :—" It appears very evident from the sending of cattle by Abd-el-Kader, through the medium of Ben Durand, that the treaty of peace with the Emir is nearly concluded. We hear also of negociations opened with Achmet Ile Bey, of Constantine. The Arabs of the tribes which are aware of the pacific intentions of their chiefs rejoice at them ; our allies are alarmed for their future fate, not knowing, the basis of the treaty. " The Iphiyenia frigate arrived on the 18th from Toulon with 504 troops, and sailed again immediately. The Jupiter has brought 1,000 men of the Ist new., and sails again to morrow. The Cerbere steam-boat has brought 270 men ; we expect also the 48th Regiment of the line, the 3d Battalion of Light Infantry of Africa, the battalion of Tonurees, com manded by M. Rotoudreau. " I mentioned that an entrenched camp was constructed at Miserghin by two battalions of the 47th and two companies of Enmors. This camp will be of a great extent, its sides rest against old houses, which have been repaired and fortified. Another camp is also being made 300 metres from the Mils on Carrde. There is to be a black house there." A letter from Bona, of the 7th March, says—." The For tune, Durance, and Caravane corvettes have arrived SUCCCF.. sively from Toulon with artillery, stores, and some troops. These vessels are now landing their cargoes. There is such a quantity of things, that we cannot tell where to put them. The arrival of these vessels has restored confidence everywhere. " Our accounts from Ghelma are very favourable. The people of the neighbouring tribes bring Provisions in abun dance. It is a pity that Colonel Duvivier has not means to lay up any quantity ; but there is no place in which they can be deposited."—Muniteur. The check experienced by Gen. Evans before flernani, is a severe lesson, which we hope will not be lost, showing the necessity of union between the Generals of Queen Christina, an union without which victories would be useless, and defeats irreparable. It is evident to every one who understands the situation of the two hostile armies, that of the two Generals who were to second the movement of Evans, one at least ( Saars field) has not done his duty. After having advanced, he suf fered himself to be stopped by some difficulties—by a few inches of snow on the road—and allowed ten battalions of the Infant Don Sebastian to fall on Evans, who was unable to con tend with forces too superior in number.— Constitutionnd The Journal des Debats announces that a grand fete will take place at Versailles, for the opening of the Historical Museum, on the 26th of April, the birth-day of Queen Amelia. The King, accompanied by his family, is to do the honours of his palace and of its magnificent galleries, to the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, and to the numerous repre sentatives of the principal bodies of the State, who are to be specially invited to that solemnity. After visiting the Museum, the King's guests, amounting to between 1,100 and 1,200, are to sit down to a banquet in the gallery of Louis XIV. In the evening there is to be a grand representation in the theatre of the Palace, now fitting out for the purpose. The performance will begin by an overture of Gluck. The actors of the Theatre Francais will next play the Misantrope, dressed in the costumes of the time of Louis XIV. After the comedy, the fifth act of Robert le Diable will be performed by the first artists of the Opera, and the spectacle will end with a new ballet in two acts, in which Mademoiselle Taglioni will dance for the last time before the French public. Between the two acts of the ballet the different national airs of France, from Vice Henry IV. down to the Marseillaise and Parisienne, will be sung by Nourrit, assisted by an immense chorus of male and female voices. The Journal des Debats assures the public that the ex penses of this feast, as well as the costs of the establishment of the gallery, arc to be defrayed by the civil list. The Moseum is to be opened to the public on the Ist of May. A supplement to the Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 16th ina. gives the following details respecting. the late movement of the forces under General Evans :—" Despatches which have arrived this afternoon from St. Jean-de-Luz state, that yest, r day morning the Anglo-Christino column, commanded by Ge neral Evans, attacked the redoubt of Oriamendv, close to Hernani, which, after an engagement of some hours, was carried by the Christinos. This position once occupied, all attention was directed towards flernani, which, we arc assured, was taken at 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day. The capture of flernani had cost the English about pp men killed, an d from %WO to tiOu wounded. This news was brought to St. Jean de Luz by the Salamander steam-boat from St. Se bastian. From 6 o'clock this morning to 4 this afternoon, a heavy firing has been heard here, which would appear to indi cate another action. Doring the action of the 10th, Don Carlos placed himsel on the height of Santa Barbara, whence`gamhe could distin gu i s h t h e movements of both perties.

'I he Council of Ministers is even taking the matter into consideration. From 20,000 to 30,000 men are out of employ, and consequently in want of bread, and but a few of them can find employment on the embankments. The Mayor of Lyoss has drawn a faithful picture of their condition, which calls for prompt assistance. The sum of 20,000 f. distributed among them by the order of the Minister of the Interior gives only 70c. to each individual. The me lancholy accounts from St. Etienne tend to increase this cala mitous state of things. We are assured that two deputations , from the departments of the Loire and the Rhone have press sed Ministers to alleviate this distress by some legislative measure." The French and German journals continue to publish articles relative to the expected marriage of the Duke d'Or leans with the Princess Helena of Meeklenburgh Schwerin. On this subject a letter of the II th instant from Berlin, given by the Mt ',over Gazette, states as follows :—‘, The Minister of State, De Kamptz, returned yesterday from has mission to the Court of Mockleilbuissir Schwerin, and no doubt remains as to the intended marriage of the Princess Helena with the Duke of Orleans. To M. Bres son, the French Ambassador of the Cow t of Prussia, is to be attributed the merit of forming this alliance, upon which we can congratulate the Prince, for the Princess Helena will be equally worthy, as her Royal mother, of being the Queen of a people in the highest degree of civilization. The Princess wills probably be accompanied to France by her mother by adoption (who is by birth Princess of Ilesse Homburg, and third wife of the late Duke), unless her constantly weak state of hssalth should oblige her to remain in Germany. The Princesa He lena has frequently, accompanied by her mother by adoption s visited Weimar, where her deceased mother, who was tire daughter of Charles Augustus of Saxe, has left mesny favour able impressions. She was the intimate friend of four great German poets—Schiller, Goethe, Wieland, and Harder ; all of whom, at certain periods, resided at Weimar. We are in formed that the late Grand Duke, who had entered into a. treaty of commerce with France, expressed a desire for this; union, and the reigning Duke entertains the same wish as his grandfather, in which the Courts of Prussia and Russia participate." On the same subject the Cuurrier Francais says...-..“ The trousseau of the Princess Helena has heen estimated at 24,000 gold ducats, and her diamonds at about 32,000. It his been in contemplation to add to it 500,000 f. in money, but, in con formity to the recent example of the Grand Duke of Olden burgh, the family will not allow this sum to be demanded of the nation, which is already burdened with heavy expences. There is no hope of the interference of the Ring of Prussia, although he usually pays a dowry of 500,000 f. out of his, privy purse to all the Princesses of his house who marry._ It is thought that all the wedding presents to be expected 'from him and the other relatives of the Princess will not amo'int to more than from 20 to 25,000 ducats ; they, however, insist th a t th e jointure of the Princess shall be fixed at 6 00,000 f., on the grounds that the House of Orleans is the most opulent in Eu rope. Ccnaequently, before M. de Flahaut or M. de Choi seul is sent, tilt se points should be arranged, and orders have. been given for the final termination of the affair during the: Session of the Chamber. It is considered inexpedient to give to the Members of another Session the opportunity of voting with acclamation the necessary sums. As to the expense of the dispensation the affair is at present under the consideration of the Court of Rome, and there is every appearance of its being soon arranged for about 200,000 f. or 300,000 f.

The differences in the Cabinet, the dread of the Ministers being obliged to retire in case the Appanage Bill be rejected by the Chamber of Deputies, an event every day be coming more probable, and the late rioting in Amiens, which proves the country not to be as yet in a very settled condition, tended to impair public confidence and damp speculation. The Spanish Actives fell 3 per cent. A letter from Ba yonne, dated the 16th, was shown on the Bourse, which an nounced, on the authority of another forwardrA from St. Se bastian early on that day, that General Eve ns had actually en tered Hernani in the morning, after beating the Carlists out of the town. The Christinos, however, denied that the rout could bo so complete as represented in the telegraphic de spatch, and, admitting that the English auxiliaries might have taken to flight, they could not believe that the brave and well disciplined brigade of Narvaez had so shamefully given way. A letter from Tolosa of the 13th mentioned that Don Carlos was preparing to proceed in the direction of Durango, to r,p_ pose the progress of Espartero. Two battalions of the reserve were to accompany the Prince. LAST PRICES. Five per Cents., 1061 : , sc. Three per Cents. 781. 75c. Bank Actions, 2,405 f. Rente de Naples, 9Sf. 05c.
