That " an Englishman's house is his castle" has long since become one of the most favourite axioms of the Constitution. It is gratifying to believe in the correctness of the sentiment which prompted Mr. PITT to make that memorable declaration. Unfor tunately we have too often, nevertheless, bad occasion to question the accuracy of the opinion expressed by the illustrious statesman, the conduct displayed at times by the authorities not invariably illustrating the principle therein enunciated. The privacy of the household, it is well known, has before now been in vaded with impunity. Whenever occurrences of this description have transpired they have invariably elicited from the public the sternest protests of indig nation. Hitherto, however, we have not witnessed any flagrant violation of the sanctity of home by the most unpopular and unnatural system of all, that of espionage organized by the police. Unhappily our present allusion to the subject has been provoked by the announcement of proceedings of precisely this despicable character. Aware of the extraordinary importance of the principles involved in the question before us, we feel impelled to refer to the circumstances here implied, satisfied that it must before long com mand not merely the serious attention of the com munity, but in like manner also the resolute interpo sition of the Legislature. Professors of various abstruse sciences are so far interested in the facts to which we are about to make allusion, that we feel satisfied the result of investiga dons now pending must vitally affect those in any way interested in the studies of mesmerism and phrenology. Unless some alteration be effected in the Vagrant Act passed in 1815 the disciples of GALL and Alessiaa will be always liable to treatment similar to that which has very recently been experienced by a gentleman of the name of COPSTICK. According to statements made by him on the 10th instant before the Recorder at the Bath Quarter Sessions—state ments published at considerable length in the local newspapers—it would appear that by means of the spy system so peculiarly obnoxious to the people of this country he bad lately been confined for the practice of astrology, having been committed to gaol on the opprobrious charge of being a rogue and a vagabond. Let it be remembered that the appellant made the astrological calculations complained of at his private residence, where he was peaceably living as a citizen, contributing his portion of rates and taxes to the revenues, and where he was waited policeman disguised in plai n upon by his accuser (a clothes), and requested thereupon to make certain estimates through the castieg of a horoscope. By ueh insiduous and nefarious proceedings was the student of astrology, already mentioned, brought under the frown of the neighbouring magistracy. He was charged, and not only charged, but com twitted as a rogue and a vagabond, as one coming under the scourge of the authority secured by the provisions of the Vagrant Act—an Act passed, ac cording to the announcement of the preamble, with a view to check the number of idle and disorderly persons wandering about the United Kin g d om , a t th e time the measure was originally introduced into Par !lament. As well might the prisoner h a t e b een taxed with a violation of the 9th Geo. 11., nap. 5, a statute prohibiting the exercise of witchcraft ! Ne vertheless, such was not the impression of the Justices SHALLOW, of Somersetshire. He was formally con victed upon that clause of the Vagrant Act which nrovides that " every person pretending or professing to tell fortunes by palmistry, or otherwise, or using any subtle art, craft, or device, to impose on, or de ceive, any of his MAJESTY'S subjects, shall be deemed and taken to be a rogue and a vagabond"—a clause applied, in the present instance, to a man of talent, of learning, and of respectability, and, one in no par 'icular coming within the category of those who are either " idle or disorderly." Accused by a spying pliceman, in plain clothes, of having calculated a nativity at his private residence, the appellant com plained that he had been wrongfully punished for giving his opinion in regard to certain contingencies which he believed the stars would influence, not by any means pretending to tell fortunes, or teaching in any way whatsoever the pernicious doctrines of fa tality. The question, indeed, is altogether apart from the truth or fallacy of the views entertained by astrologers. It is a question affecting, as the ma gistrates th emse lves seemed to admit somewhat blun deringly, the interests of those individuals who culti vate the sciences—call them, if you will, the pseudo sciences or imaginary sciences—of mesmerism and phrenology. The appeal made by Mr. COPSTICE, on the 10th of January, before the Recorder at the Bath Quarter Sessions, having failed, it now remains for those anxious to vindicate the sanctity of home, and to suppress the execrable spy-system, at its very commencement, to petition Parliament for some speedy and effectual interposition on the part of the Legislature. Whatever may be the merits or demerits of astro logy, its professors are surely not to be subjected to ignominious treatment, like that already particu larised, any more than a similar course is to be sanc tioned in reference to the believers in mesmerism or to the advocates of phrenology. Dissent as we may from the fantastic but magnificent dreams of astro logers, we cannot, as sincere and patriotic lovers of )ur Constitution, consent to witness, unmoved, the adoption in their regard of repressive measures so peculiarly base and reprehensible. Those who may coincide with the sticklers for any such fanatical measures of opposition would do well to weigh some among the remarkable truths recorded on the pages of history, however much they may be indisposed to listen to eloquent voices raised by the credulity of a ZADILIEL, or by the hallucinations of a VOLHTMAN. They should remember that preposterous though the science appears to them, preposterous though it may appear to all of us now-a-days, it has num bered among its advocates some of the most illus trious intellects the world has ever known, intellects to whose labours we are mainly indebted for our present advancement in civilization. Among these were many of the most wonderful men of ancient Greece—Tua.LEs, who first foretold eclipses : ANAXI MANDER, the inventor of globes: PYTHAGORAS, wise amongst the wise: EuDoxus, one of the first authors of the Calendar : SOCRATES, the most divine of Pagan philosophers : ARISTOTLE, designated by PLATO the sage of truth : ARATUS, HIPPOCRATES, PaocLus, Poar YRY, and A NAXAGORAS . Amo ng the Romans were PROPERTIUS, and Pima - , and GALEN, and VIRGIL, and HORACE, and the learned NlGlmus Fmtrus, and the immortal C ICERO . A mo ng the Egyptians the most conspicuous was CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY, the master of the science, and not the least remarkable MERCURIUS Ta issi EGISTUS. Like wise among the generality of the Oriental races may b e e numerated the memorable n ames of BEROSUS J OS EPHUS, and ZOROASTER. Later times have not tended to diminish the number of illustrious disciples from such men as TYCHO BRAHE and ROGER BACON, or AS CORNELIUS AGRIPPA and: NOSTRADAMus, to the venerated ge nius of Archbi s ho p U SHER, Bible Chron ology, the author of th e of JEREMY TAYLOR, the good and profound, Of CARDAN the inventor of the method of so l v i ng cubic equations, of KEPLER the father of the modern school of astronomy, of NAPIER the contriver of logarithms, and—besides a variety of others such as MELANCTHON, PARTRIDGE, LILLY, STEELE, and CULPEPPER—FLAMITEAD the first Astronomer Royal, Asnsanz the founder of the Museum, the glorious DRYDEN, according to some, according to others, even, MILTON the poet of Christianity, and indisputably and unquestionably the great Lord BACON himself, one of the wisest and greatest of men, one whose principal but not only source of renown is, that of having founded the modern system of inductive philcsophy. Numerous others not here necessary to be particularized, have in like I manner, both in remote and recent times, cultivated LON DON, that singular study of astrology Iwhich is assuredly redeemed thereby to some degree of respectability, being saved at least from the ignominy of reducing its students to the list of rogues and vagabonds. Erroneous let us still continue to regard it—extra vagant let it still be proclaimed—bat, at any rate, let it not be repressed by measures so very despicable, so wholly un-English, and so entirely beyond the reach of justification, as those we have here found it our painful duty to particularize and reprobate Above all, in the prevention of further acts of injus tice of this kind, let our legislators at once and for . ever put a stop to this odious system of espionage, and thereby vindicate the correctness of that constitu tional principle which environs with the sanctity of the laws the house of every Englishman. Notwithstanding the abundance of bullion now lying idle and unproductive in the vaults of the Bank of England—notwithstanding the extraordinary low rate of interest, and the consequent easiness in the Money-market, Irish estates are ,still selling at little more than half their actual value. The sacrifices daily made under the direction of the Learned Trium virate of Henrietta-street are not merely "alarming," they are heartrending in the extreme, indicating the ruin of once opulent houses—the unfortunate inheri tors being sent into the world to commence life de novo, without a single shilling to enable them to conform to their widely-altered circum stances, and also the destruction of the hopes of the puisne creditors, who see the savings of their lives (the majority being men of small means), which they had put by as provision for old age, or for the future support of their helpless families, swept away beyond the possibility of redemption. These melancholy events are the more deplorable, when we reflect that the actual sufferers are, generally speaking, perfectly innocent of the extravagance which they are now expiating. They are suffering for the sins of their forefathers, whose wanton and reckless expenditure has entailed so much misery on their unfortunate descendants. Not only the nominal proprietors themselves, but their wives and children, accustomed to the enjoyment of every comfort and reasonable luxury, are suddenly reduced from a state of comparative affluence to the deepest poverty, deprived of even the commonest necessaries of life. We cannot conceive a more truly painful position than that of highly educated and eensitive females thus suddenly subjected to the most bitter privations, and deprived of the last particle of hope by the announcement of the sale of an estate that had descended through a long line of ancestors, at eleven or twelve years' purchase. Bitter, indeed, must be their sensations under this "confiscation." Perhaps there could not be found objects of greater charity than those who, previous to the mysterious visitation by which the sister kingdom was pros trated, were looked up to with respect and admira tion and regarded as the favourites of fortune. Although of less exalted rank, the small creditors are no less deserving of sympathy. They are, gene rally speaking, persons who invested their savings as charges on the estates of the neighbouring proprietors• The then law of Ireland with respect to judgments, which became liens on every acre of land of which the conveyor was then in possession, or which he might thereafter become entitled to, afforded the greatest facilities for these small encumbrances, and they were consequently largely resorted to, the squire being considered as a banker, to receive deposits from all the neighbouring farmers. There was no great im prudence on the part of these poor creditors, for at the periods when their debts were contracted the estates were supposed to be sufficient, and according to the then value were sufficient, to satisfy every claim and to leave a large surplus. But we are now addressing capitalists, and although the parties above alluded to may be greatly to be pitied, that will constitute no adequate reason why the men of wealth should direct their attention to the other side of St. George's Channel. The only argu ments to which they will attend must be founded on s. d. Show them that it is their interest to purchase Irish estates, and they will attend in person, or by deputy, at the auction-rooms ; but until that point be clearly established, any appeal to the feelings must be worse than useless. The arguments respecting the quondam inheritors or puisne encumbrancers are directed not to them, but to the Imperial Legislature, and to the constituencies throughout the United Kingdon, in order that Sir JOHN ROMILLY'S admirable measure (the Securities for Advances Bill), which can alone afford an adequate remedy for evils such as those above referred to, may be taken into consideration at the earliest possible opportunity. In reference to the pecuniary part of the ques tion we need only refer to the sale of the Comolin Park estate, which was disposed of in one lot, on Thursday last, for 55,2001. An English gentleman is the fortunate purchaser, and we venture to assert that a better circumstanced property could not be discovered in any part of England at this moment for double the money paid for that now under notice. The estates were sold under the will of the late Earl of MOUNTNORRIS ; they were situate in the model county of Ireland (Wexford), not far from the sea side, in the heart of a fertile, thickly inhabited district. They extended over more than 9,000 statute acres. There was the family mansion house (not included in the valuation) and demesne containing over 900 acres. The rental from tenants wa s only 4,2921. 65., but GRIFFITH'S value ation (made on a greatly reduced scale) is 5,6631. It is perfectly free from quit-rent, and we can scarcely say more in its favour than that at the worst period of the famine, which was, happily, unknown in that locality, the poor -rate has never exceeded one shilling in the pound on the valuation. A more beautiful residence, or a property holding out greater temptations to a person fond of country pursuits, could not, we believe, be discovered, and yet it has been sacrificed for little more than thirteen years' purchase. We venture to assert that the purchaser would not accept 100,0001., or a clear profit of 44,8001., at this moment for his bargain, and he would be wrong if he did, for even• at this moment it is fully worth it, without making any allowance for the certain improvement of prices that must speedily take place. Once more, then, we would invite English capitalists to look at the lista of properties offered to public competition, and not to remain doggedly insensible to the unpa ralleled advantages now tendered for their accept ance. If they neglect the opportunity they will re pent it, and that deeply, when too late. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

The Univers, in the c mime of an article on the Constitution, expresses its; delight at it " because it closes the door by which ':111 middle classes entered on political life ;" but at the sa me time it demands that more power, nay, that unlini ited power, shall be given to the Church, a demand vitaich,,it would appear, will be to a great extent complied with, if the rumour is true which was confidentky circulated in Paris on Saturday, that all Protestan is are to be excluded from the Senate. _ Among the proscribed on the list which was with drawn on the remonstrvai ce of M. DE MORNY ap peared the name of M. COQUEREL, the celebrated Protestant pastor. As lie whilst a member of the A ssem bly gave his almmt uniform support to M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONADARTE and his successive Ministers, his Protestanis (n. alone can have been the cause of his proscription. The Count DE MONTA. LEMBERT appears to have commenced his threatened in :right earnest. No doubt iolomew's massacre would the eulogist miProtestantism have little objection to imit a t e th a t procee di ng , an d ofthe St. B the present Pius would celebrate it after the same fashion as a former Pius. Fortunately for France and the world, however, LOUIS NAPOLEON is not a CHARLES IX. MM.

A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic enacts that, in consequence of the recent increase of the military divisions, the number of artillery commands in the divisions is psed at eleven, ten for the interior and one for Algeria; and that there shall be an artil lery school in each command. The report of the Minister of War on which this decree is founded differs from all that have preceded it, by being ad dressed to " the Prinva-President," and beginning " Monseigneur.

Fortoul, Minister of Public Instruction ; M. De Thorigny, late Minister of the Interior; and M. Lefebvre Da. rale, Minister o f C ommerce ; conferring the rank of Chevalier of the same order on M.

The military commission of the department of the Jura has condemned several persons to transportation to Cayenne. _ _ The Independence Beige has the following on the postponement o f t h e recept i on of I.U. DE MODITALEM 'MEET by the A ca d emy : ~ This is wh at has delaye d up to this time the recep tion of M. de Montalembert by the French Academy. The Catholic writer had in his speech attacked the first Constituent Assembly. It was thought that there was little good taste displayed in thus pronouncing judgment on the first delibe ra ti ve Assembly of France at the mo ment when th e l ast ha d j ust disappeared. A contr oversy took place, in w hi c h M . d e Muntalembert, M. d e S t . Aulaire, M. Vill ema i n , and M. Cruizot took part, an d a decision Ive s come to to postpone the reception." The Petri e , i n comm enting on this stateme n t, !Jays-- controversy in Vthietecommittee charged to hear th e fi rst :rending of it; but, contrary to th e p rotest ations of MM. Villcmain tie Pongervillo maintained the perfect right of M. de Montalembert to retain and express the opinion he pro fessed at the moment vain he was named member of the French Academy. The state of health of M. de Montalembert has been the only reason of the postpone ment of his reception." The illness of M. DE MONTALEMBEET is merely political—the members of the Academy had signified their intention of retiring the instant M DE ISIONTA LEMBERT commenced his discourse, and of returning only when M. GUIZOT should commence his reply, and being informed of their determination M. Ds MONTALEMBERT was seized with a sudden and most convenient illness. At the services recently performed at the Invalides in honour of Marshal SOUL; the duchess, his widow, was present, in the pew set apart for the family. In an adjoining one there was remarked a young religieuse, dressed in the humble costume of a Sister of Charity, who prayed with great fervour for the repose of the soul of the illustrious deceased. This female was Ndlle. DE MORNAY, grand-daughter of the marshal. It is well known with what regret her illustrious relative separated from this noble and charming child, and with what heartfelt grief the old warrior bid adieu to her, saying, " Go, you will always be my dear grand-daughter." The journals of the departments state that the Te Deum, ordered to be executed on Jan. 11, was chanted in all the communes in the utmost calm, and in the presence of large congregations.

The following arrangement, subject to the ratifica. tion of the King o f D ENMAUS , 113 said to have be en made with Pru ss i a and Austr i a by Count B ILLE• BRAHE :—" Convocation of the former Provincial Stande of Schl esw i g and Holstein ;, maintenance of the Nexus soci a li s o f t h e Schleswig Holstein lilt terschaft ; rem ova l of any c lause which could le a d t o an incorporati on o f inSchleswig Denmark a t a future time ; separate Ministers for Schleswig a n d Holstein, who are to be independent of th e D an i s h Diet, but responsible to the KING." In its sitting of ITALY. the 13th, the Chamber of Deputies of Turin adopted th e b u d g et of expenditure for artil lery, fortifications, and military constructions, which amounted to 5 , 1 28,074 f., or a million and a half more than was granted in 1851. This increase is partly attributable . to th e necess ity of repairing fortifications an gunpowder and other military stores. To d pwarrodvisdthmg eenof the sitting, and on the motion " that the budg e t f or 18 52 do pass, M. CADONA pro posed the followi ng addition :—",The sum mentioned in the first part o f t h e b u d ge t of Grace, J us ti ce , and Worship, und er t h e title o f , Elclesiastical Expenses,' shall cease to be paid on and from the Ist July, 1852 ;" and at the same time proposed an order of the it em altogether recomm en di ng Min i sters to e x p unge that altogether fr om t h e b udget o f 1853, a n d present Bills to the Chamber calculated to carry out that measure. The debate on this motion was adjourned to the fol lowing day, but the Minister of Finance was heard to say, that without intending for the present to pledge himself to any particular course, he could not accept such a measure for 1852. The Venice Gazette publishes a letter from its cor- MONDAY EVENING, respondent at Rome, from which we learn that Car dinal FIESCHI has returned to Rome. A rumour was current there that General GEMEA.II was to be superseded by General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS. Accounts had been received from Vera Cruz an nouncing the safe arrival of the Pontifical Nun cio, Monsignor CLEMENT!, at the capital of the Mexican Republic. It is added that the question of whether he should be received or not was warmly discussed in the Cabinet, but that it was decided in the affirmative through the efforts of the Minister of Justice and that of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, the Monitor Republicano, which is in the interest of the President ARISTA, and even directed by him, had treated this apostolical delegation with scorn, and used such insulting epithets in speaking of the Ilead of the Romish Church, that the Archbishop of MEXICO has anathematised that paper. Public atten tion had been drawn at Rome to a monster trial of 54 prisoners, who were all convicted of complicity in a most daring robbery which had been committed three years ago at the Assay-office. They have all been condemned to the galleys fur various periods. Two silversmiths are of the number. Railways. VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) (Beloro Vice-Chuneellor TURNER.) HARRISON V. RANDALL. In this case the plaintiffs are Ennui Sophia Harrison and Georgiana Carolina Gwyane, the two youngest daughters of the late Colonel Gwynn.; and the defen dants the representatives of the late John Brundred, solicitor, of London, trustee under a settlement of Colo nel Gwynne, several other trustees, and the six other daughters of Colonel Gwynne. That gentleman was possessed of a life interest in an estate in North Wales, and it appeared that in order to provide for his daugh ters, eight in number, he at different times effected poli cies of insurance on his own Mein the Pelican, Equitable, and Albion Insurance-offices, two in each to the amount of 4,0001. and 1,0001. severally, to which by various deeds his daughters, were appointed, John Brundred, who was solicitor to Colonel Gwynne, being in each case the trustee. Brundred was in the habit of paying the pre miums for Colonel Gwynne as they became due, in order to prevent the policies being forfeited; and Colonel Gwynne, who was often in embarrassed circumstances, being irregular in his repayments, the arrears amounted to 230/. To cover this, and to provide for the future payment of the premiums, on the 3d of October, 1832, a deed was executed between Colonel Gwynne, his three eldest daughters then of age, and Mr. Brundred, by which Colonel Gwynne appointed his three daughters to receive the bonuses on the policies iu the Equitable Insurance Office up to the year 1830, amounting to 3,6831., the daughters agreeing at the same time to set aside out of this sum 1,6001. to be invested in the Three per Cont. Consols, for the purpose of paying off Mr. Brundred's claim, and of providing for the future payment of the premiums. This was the deed sought to be impeached by the present suit. Mr. Brundred was appointed trustee to this settlement, and authorised to surrender the bonasee and to apply the monies received front the Equitable Office to the specified uses. The ba ianee of the 3,683/. was paid over to the daughters, who it appears shortly afterwards lent it to their father on mortgage en his life-interest in the estate. In 1836 Colonel Gwynn() died, and the policies were divided between the eight daughters, care having been tame by subsequent deeds to equalise the shares, taking into account the sum received by the three eldest from the bonuses land r the deed of 1832. On tho 9th of September Mr. Brundred received the first intimation of the intention of the two youngest daughters to dis pute the validity of the deed of October, 1832, in a letter trom their solicitor, to which he returned an indignant answer, but he dying shortly after, no further preceed ings were taken for five years, when the present bill was filed to declare the deed of 1832 fraudulent and void, and a breach cf trust on the part of Mr. Brundred, and to compel the repayment from his estate of the sum of 3,683/., received from the Equitable Office. His HONOUR now delivered judgment at considerable length. After going through the facts of the case, he said that in his opinion the present suit divided itself into two points—let, whether Mr. Brundred was liable; 2dly, whether the present form of suit was the proper one to enforce that liability. He was clearly of opinion, with regard to the first, that Mr. Brundred was liable, for he had accepted the trusteeship of the settlements for the benefit of the daughters, and it was quite certain that he had accepted the trusteeship of the deed of Oct., 1832, knowing it to be a fraud on the other daughters, as it appeared he lied taken counsel's opinion on the point. With regard to the second point, he was of opi nion that this was not the proper form of suit to en force that liability, as a subsequent deed, bearing date December, 1832, differing only from the former one in the amount set aside for provision for the future pre miums, had not been introduced into the cause, and a part of a whOle fraud had only been sought to be set aside. He should, therefore, dismiss the present bill without prejudice, the costs to be paid by the plaintiff. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. PHIPPS applied to the Court for a writ of habeas corpus, directed to a medical gentleman in Warwick shire, commanding him to bring up the body of his niece, whom it was said he detained against her will. It seemed that this lady was about forty-three years of age, and she resided in Northamptonshire up to about Febru ary last year, In July, 1850, the party who made the application on this occasion became engaged to be mar ried to her, but her friends were averse to the match, and in February last she was removed to the residence of her uncle, a medical man practising in Warwick shire, where she had since been forcibly detained, on the ground that she was of unsound mind. She was not al lowed to walk out of doors, but kept locked up in her bed-room, with the windows nailed down. The party who was engaged to be married to her had frequently seen and spoken to her through the closed window, and she had often asked him to see an attorney to take means to get her away.—Application granted. 7VIARLBR(Y-STREEr—(THIS DAY.) A MAGISTRATE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.—Mr. Hewitt Bridgeman, an ex-M.P. and county magistrate, residing at No. 4, Northumberland -court, Charing-cross, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with in decently assaulting Mrs. Julia Barnet, wife of Mr. Lyon Barnet, merchant, 5, Gibson-street, Lambeth. The prosecutrix said last night, about nine o'clock, my husband and myself got into an omnibus at Notting-hill gate. There was only room for two persons, and I had to get to the further end of the omnibus for a seat, and in so doing had to pass the defendant, and I had the greatest difficulty in accomplishing my object on account of his knees preventing me. In my endeavour to get by him he made use of a very disgusting expression, and asked me if I knew that man (pointing to my husband) as he (defendant) should like to know mo much better. He then made use of other filthy expressions, which I took no notice of. I sat down by his side, having no other seat, when, in consequence of his placing his hands in a most indelicate manner upon my person, I gave him a push, but as no other seat was vacant I could not get away from him. A lady subsequently got out of the omnibus at the corner of Stafford -street, and I got up and took her seat. My husband then asked m© why I pushed the defendant, and I told him what the defendant had done. My husband then called a con stable, and gave him in charge. Mr. Barnet corroborated the above evidence, and in addition stated that directly his wife had informed him of the prisoner's conduct he (witness) told him he was no gentleman, and it it was not for his age (defendant is 70 years of age) he would give him a good thrashing. The defendant then turned round to witness's wife and said, " Have I insulted you, Madam?" and her answer was, " Yes, most grossly." Witness then got out of the vehicle and gave him in charge. The accused, in defence, said the statement made by the prosecutrix was, from first to last, one tissue of false hoods. He could say no more, with the exception that the man made use of the most insulting language to wards him. Mr. BINGEIAN said he should send the defendant to the sessions, and ordered him to find two bail in 501. each, with himself in 1001, to answer the charge at the sessions. The deposition having been completed, and the ne cessary recognizances having been entered into, defen dant left the court with his friends. MARYLEBONE THEATRE. Notwithstanding the remoteness of this theatre from the central parts of town, no frequenter •of the places of dramatic entertainment which cluster in our vicinity will repent a visit to the roomy, cheerful, and excellently managed establishment in the neighbourhood of St. John's Wood. The mirthful pantomime of Sir John Barleycorn, which is nightly drawing crowded houses, is admirably produced and sustained. The senery, par ticularly the last scene, which is of striking magnifi cence, is tasteful and brilliant throughout; the appoint ments and costumes are costly and appropriate; and the working of the performers effectively harmonious, as well as individually meritorious. Mr. Veroni and Miss Malcolm trip actively and neatly through the parts of Harlequin and Columbine. Mademoiselle Julie looks pretty and interesting, and dances with a fairy-like lightness as Harlequins. Corkscrew, subsequently Sprite, is personated by H. Wright, whose extraordi nary agility is enhanced by a vein of grotesque humour, day, ue humour, that indicates his capability to under ta ke principal role after a little time. Ho may one the cele brated if he perseveres, stand forth a finished clown. Of - Tom Mathews, is it not enough to say thet as Clown he is as good as ever? Without p er forming any startling feats or marvellous tours de force, there is an ease, a breadth, a bon hommie , a revivification o . f . " Old Joe" himself, developed in all he does, tha t elicits the hearty plaudits of veteran playgoers, an peals of laughter from the younger portion of the audience. Last, but very far from the least, we would make special men tion of the Pantaloon, Mr. Paul Katie°, who gives his part a prominence that has long been wanted. Light as e asily prostrated, and as easily set upon his leg s , acork, ho is the very beau ideal of the venerable vagabond who receives • " more kicks than halfpence" from his partner in immorality. Mr. Kellino has not been known, we believe, in London before the present !mason; and we recommend the metropolitan managers not to lose sight of him, for he would be an invaluable acquisition as a pantomimist to any theatre, as he is at present to the Marylobone. The spirited lessee is eminently deserving of encouragement and support for the judiciousness and liberality of his entire arrangements, which we cordially recommend to public patronage. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the Forein•ofice. The Ministers present were—Lord John Russell, the Earl of Minto, Sir George Grey, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Right Hon. Fox Matile, and Lord Seymour. The Council oat ono how and a half. THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS. Paid.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export. The sales include 200 Perham and Maranhao). at sid. to 6d., 50 Bahia at 511 to 60., and 500 Surat at 20. to 3id. per lb. The market closed stcadilye- - Railway Shares were again depressed. Wheat has been up Is. per quarter to-day. The markets for grain are rising on the Continent. Accounts of January 6 have been received from New York by the steamer. During the week, to the 3cl instant, 885,000 dollars had been exported from Chat city to Europe. A much better feeling prevailed in the money market, and confidence was increased by the turn which events had taken in France. There were continued large arrivals of specie from Cali:- fornia. The Cherokee had reached from Chagres with 2 600,000 dollars in gold dust, and the prospects for trade in the United States are most encouraging. The Californian intelligence is still of a most remark.- able character. About 5,000,000 dollars had been shipped from San Francisco in little more than a month.

An arrangement is stated to have been made with the English creditors, by which tor five years they era to receive 3 per cent. annual interest and 5 per cent. for caucelment of principal, and afterwards 4 per cent. 1 0 terest and 6 per cent. redemption.
