EDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENUH BRANDY.—COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is the best and most wholesome of spirits, but, when new it is deficient in its good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and Invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflamma tory spirit. The great difficulty in procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, and the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many persons from using it; but now that a good and genuine article may Ire obtained, and at a much more moderate rats, it is natural to expect a great increase in the consumption. To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SErGNETTE has determined to avail 'melt of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy Trade as an importer. lie holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, Pale and brown, in this country, and, in accordance with the wishes and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges himself to sell none but the best OLD COGNAC BRANDY, genuine as imported, and carefully selected. To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fra grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent, and frequently adulterated spirit until now imposed on the public, he recommends a trial, with reliance upon their Judgment in favour of the superior quality of his Brandy. Mr. SEIGN ETTE begs also to offer to the public the best Hollands Geneva that can be imported. Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons, are— 245. per gallon for the best Brown Cognac Brandy. 269. best Pale ditto. 20s. best Geneva (Hollands). A liberal allowance ll to the trade, to wham Mr. SEIGNETTE takes the opportunity of offering his Brandies and Geneva in bond at cur rent market prices.

The attention of the philanthropic public has been attracted to the degrading system of low wages pursued for a number of years in this extensive and almost only branch of fetnale indlistry, the Proprietor begs to state that in the form of the registered shirt a very great improvement is effected, and at the same time no absurd novelty is therein introduced, but that care is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain this appearance during the whole time In wear. It Is presumed that this object has not been attained by others commonly in use, sv , :ich, too often rising in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the body, at once destroys the neat appearance so desirable, yet usually emitted In this essential but hitherto much neglected article of dress. But a further and most important advantage is offored ; the material of, those parts which arc seen when the shirt is worn, viz., the fronts, collars, and wristbands, are composed of the most beautiful of that fabric almost the sole manufacture for which Ireland has obtained celebrity, and the golden flax linen or cambric Is now well known is be pre-eminent in the purity of its bleach, presenting in those por tions of the registered shirt as described a beautiful snow white ap pearance. 42, ltegent-circus, being the warehouse for the West-end, none but the best w..rkers are there emp•oyed remunerative wages being paid, .notwithstanding which, there is ' no difference in the gripes between the registered shirt ' n I the ordinary shirt .

Tax HAGUE, APRIL 6.—ln the sitting of the Second Chamber of the Stales General on Saturday, the 4th of April, the project of law, letter A, relative to the sup pression of the fund for agriculture, was rejected by a majority of 45 to 13. After long debates, and a detailed defence by his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, the Minister then declared that he was authorised by the King, to withdraw the other projects of law, connected with that which had been just discussed. His Excel lency then presented a note, which had become necessary in the projects of law r e l a ti ve t o t h e suppression of the fund for the national manufactures, which is to be dis cussed in the sitting to-day (Monday). In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General to-day, the project of law for suppressing the fund for national ma nufactures, was adopted by a majority of 51 to 3. The Chamber afterwards opened the debate, upon the project of law for continuing the road from the Bosch to Culemborg, which debate will be continued this evening. In the same sitting, the general report on the project of law relative to pensions was brought up. THE HAGUE, APRIL 4 —A year ago the Government applied to the States General to be authorised to di minish for a time, or completely to suppress the transit duty ; the fixed, and navigation duty levied on the Rhine by virtue of the convention of Mayence, of the 31st of March, 1831. It was assigned, as a ground for this application, that some States on the banks of the Rhine had declared their readines likewise to abolish those duties. France, Bavaria, and Baden, were the first to set an example, from which it was permitted to believe that all these States would perse vere in their liberal sentiments, but it was not so. Ba varia and Baden did not perform the promises they had given, respecting the exception from navigation duty. Acenrdingly, the decrees of the 19th of March and 12th of April, which granted in favour of those states the suppression of the fixed duty, and a diminution of the navigation duty, have not been carried into execution. The French Government have given notice that it has completely suppressed all navigation duties on the Rhine, as far as Dutch ships are concerned, and that it expects to be treated with entire reciprocity by the Government of the Netherlands. For this end the Government has presented to the States General the following project of law : We, William IL, &c., and considering that the French Government no longer levies any navigation duty upon goods conveyed up the Rhine by Dutch ships, and that no transit duty is levied in France—with the ad vice of the Council of State, and the sanction of the States General, have decreed and decree as follows : Art. I. Goods conveyed directly to the Rhine from the Dutch ports, in French or Dutch vessels, or those coming from French ports to be imported into the Netherlands directly, by the Rhine, in French or Dut c h vesse l s , s h a l l b e exempt from the navigation duties in , the Dutch rivers, as well as from fixed duty, which is levied in the Netherlands according to list A, and its exceptions -IL and 111., annexed to the Convention of Mayence of the 31st March, relative to the navigation of the Rhine, modified by the subsequent Convention between the States on the banks of the Rhine, dated the 15th of September, 1845, taking such measures as we shall judge desirable to prevent abuses. Art. 11. The exemption granted by the present law shall remain in force, so long as the French Government shall grant Dutch ships the exemption from duties above mentioned. Art. 111. The present law shall be in force on the third day after its promulgation in the official journal. We learn that the magistrates of the city of Am sterdam, having been consulted on the plan for forming a harbour for steam-boats and fishing smacks at Scheveningen, after consulting the Chamber of Com merce and Manufacture, have not only expressed them selves in the most favourable manner, but likewise stated in the strongest terms their opinion of the advantage which would be derived from the speedy execution of this plan.

On Tuesday intelligence was redeived at Lloyd's, report ing the loss of the Waterwitch towing steam-vessel, be longing to Leith, with ail hands, by coming in collison with a schooner, on the night of Saturday last, at the entrance of the Frith of Forth. fhe Waterwitch, which was a large sized tug, having two engines of twenty-five horse power, left Leith 'early i in the evening, w i t h t h e i ntention of pro ceeding to sea, n the expectation of meeting with a vessel that required to be towed up the roads. At half-past eleven o'clock she was observed abreast of Ofscar rocks, at the entrance of the Frith, by the Vintage from London, a schooner . heavily laden, which was beating up for Leith. The master of the Schooner, Mr. Anderson, in his report of the accident, states that they saw the steamer a short time before, and the impression on their minds was that thoSe on board her could not have kept a good look-out, other wise they would have avoided the dreadful consequences that ensued. She had a usual signal light, and was steaming at full speed in the direction of the schooner. Mr. Anderson and his crew hailed her, and 'exhibited a bright lamp. No notice however seemed to be taken, and before there was time tp bring the vessel to, both struck with terrific force. The schooner heeled over considerably, and, for a moment or two, it was feared she was sinking. The pumps, how ever, showed all was safe, although she bad sustained much injury, the steamer having carried away covered boards, bul warks, and rails. Soon after the vessels had got clear, those on board the Vintage were alarmed by cries front the steamer of "For God's sake, help, help t we are sinking!" They instantly put about in the direc tion the cries apparently proceeded from, but the steamer had disappeared, and they saw only a quantity of wreck floating about. They therefore supposed that she must have foundered immediately after the collision. The schooner was . tacked about for some considerable time, in the hope of pick ing up some of her crew, but, not meeting with any, she pursued her passage to Leith, and on her arrival reported the occurrence to the Navigation authorities and Lloyd's 1 agent. Since then the wreck has been discovered lying in fourteen fathom' water, within a short distance of the Ofscar Rock. That her crew met with a watery grave there cannot be a doubt ; they were, it is rep or t e d, s i x in number—Mr. Pydre, the master, who partly owned the ill-fated vessel, two seamen, a fireman, and two apprentice bays. Mr. Pydre has left a widow and children. The seamen were married, and have left eight children destitute of, support; but it is the Intention of several benevolent persons to raise a sub scriptiod in their behalf. - ' , mamma PRINCE ALEXAAWRE DE GON . - .7.AGA,. - Er DE AIANTOUE. (Translation from the French.) TO lIIS EXCELLENCY M. GCIZOT, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF T/IE FRENCH, AT .PARIS. ' Sir,—Although the policy of your actual Cabinet requires certain concessions towards Austria, and the acouiescerice of this power in the views of France relative to the S;pailish question, may ultimately tend to the establishment of the Orleans dynasty in Spain ; notwithstanding these considera tions, and many others not less evident, I should not suppose you would wish to render your Government responsible. tbr a most audacious robbery committed in my house, No. 78. Rue St. Dominique, Fauberg St. Germain, Paris, the 27th of No vember, 1845 (after my having resided eight years in France), by the French police, at the instigation of some agents of the Austrian Government, with the intention of carrying off my passport, and all the private documents in my possession, my birth-rights, and those of my family; also printed books, en gravings, decorations, seal of my secretariat, and every article on which the name of Gonzaga was to be found. Although providentially my most important original papers were not amongst the booty they carried off, 1 pro test that I will not allow any such unjust attack upon my interests, and the principles I publicly announced in my pro testation of the 26th of April, 1813, addressed to all the sove reigns of Europe. _ I demand th e rest i tut i on of all the objects indicated, more for the ad van t age of your Government than my own, for it is evident th a t t h e intrioant employed in th e direction tion of this plot must have attached considerable interest in the posses sion of these documents, to debase hi . mself so as to h ave recourse to the pitif u l and unworthy m employed by a sub a lt ern police; and ve r y little conside e ra ar ti - on for the dignity of the French nation to trample under foot the laws of his country, and the sacred rights of hospitality towards a stranger and an exiled prince! It is not in this manner your French exiled princes have been received in the ci v ili se d countries of Europe, when e de prived of their territories or possessions, they sought a tern- Nrfkry. home in a foreign land; for myself I had still less reason to expect such a breach of hospitality, havin g been , led tobelieve, from the proofs I had received from the King of the French and the Duke d'Orjeans, and also the assurances of a sot-disant friend of the Royal Family, of whom I intend to speak presently, that the sympathy of the French Govern ment was most entirely mine. I demand : by what right the French police (said to be for security) snakes an attempt upon private property ? By what right is my residence violated, by a troop of persons forcing their entry into it without my permission? By what right is the Charte (T suppose on the laws of the constitution) Constitutionnelle . violated by an abominable attack on pri • vete property? By what right is the honour of the French nation outraged? What authority exists in France to put a stop to such heinous offences, and repair such wrongs? The Minister de l'lnterieur at Paris, to whom a complaint was immediately addressed after the shameful attempt above alluded to, declared himself to be in complete ignorance of the whole affair. Even at the Prefecture of the Police, M. Nabon de Vaux, at first extremely insolent in his expression!, acknowledged that an agent from the Austrian Embassy at Paris had been the cause of what had taken place; he ex pressed his regret at so great a violation of the rights k citoyen, and at the unjust means employe& by carrying off the passport given and renewed by the order of the Minister for the affairs of the interior during so many years. Indeed he offered to return the passport, and added that all the arti cles seized would be restituted at the end of the week ; when, to my surprise and indignation, I learnt that, instead of ac complishing this promise, a M. Monval, police-officer, had in his possession my papers. 'sc., and that afterwards he was boasting of having carte blanche for large sums of money at his command, and a "mission (I cite his own words) de de monitizer le Prince Conzaga. ' It appears that his carte blanche extended very far, for, disappointed at only having carried off copies of the original documents, and only one ori ginal act, of little importance signed by the Russian Govern ment, this police-officer took upon himself to come with seven men, at seven o'clock in the morning on the 24th of December, 1845, before it was daylight, and force open the door of the apartment where the Princess was sleeping, and to seek in every . part of the apartment for me, when, in order to place my original papers in security in a country where the authorities respect the laws, I had left Paris for England thirteen days previously. Thus, although my name has never been mentioned in any political association or party; without having the possibility of extorting even the slightest reproach from the authorities of the French Government at Boulogne, Dieppe, Rocheim, or Niederbronn, where I fixed my residences in order to oc cupy myself entirely with the Princess's health ; without its being in the power of any one even to claim obole from after a residence of eight years in France, a French police-officer finds himself invested with the character of executioner for another Government ! This fact is still more serious, forming a chain of evidence which will prove-Ist, that since my protestation, already mentioned, there have been five attempts made to obtain the documents which I,had offered topresent in aCongress of Sove reigns, or a Council ofMinisters, composed of the representatives of the five great Bowers, in London, and that the names of the persons employed by the Austrian Government are known who are implicated in this disgraceful undertaking. 2dly, that I had no intention of returning from London in 1844, to fix my residence again in France, had it not been that my counsellor, Count Fernig, a general in the service of his Majesty Louis Philippe, King of the French, invited me in the most express manner to meet him at Dieppe, announcing in his letter that my future prospects would be assured by this step. This same Count Pernik came to pay me .a visit at Bou logne two years past, offering to place himself at my entire disposal with the utmost devotedness; wishing that every thing should pass through his intervention in my afairs, and that lie should be entrusted with the execution of my slight est wishes. He assured me that his Majesty Louis Philippe and the French Government interested themselves greatly in m y cause, as being perfectly in alliance with the interests of France! that it was quite in conformity with the views of the French Government that I should grant the Order of the Reeemption to the French. In definitive, and to abridge as much as possible details into which I am °biked to enter during the last two years, nog a step has been laxen excepC in concert with the Count, under the firm conviction that we were supported by the King and his Government. In the month of November last I went to Paris, the Count Fernig having assured me that it would be gratifying to the King and Queen, and other members of the Royal Family, that the Princess and myself were presented at court,whenthe veil was removed, and, to our extreme astonishment, the Count Fernig, whom I had welcomed as envoys from the King of the French, proved to be a friend of the Austrian Government. I have already declared, and I repeat, that so far from wishing to recede from explanations, I am happy to give any required that are in accordance with my dignity; but Aus tria, who acts always in the most dark and treacherous man ner, not daring to deny openly either my person or my rights, is indefatigably occupied in spreading covertly, by her emis saries, doubts and calumnies regarding me, ever since my mother, the Princess Gonzaga, born Princess Esterhazy, died in 1836. I have hitherto despised these false reports, trusting to the evidence of my private and public life, the latter almost ex clusively military, to speak, as facts must speak, for them &elves ; but it is time that the truth should assert its r i g i'ts in the midst of such wilful deceptions, and it is time that :sistorical facts, which Austria perverts wherever her power cal: be exercised upon the press should be presented to public opktion in their reality. 1 am, by the grace of God, Prince de Gonzaga Mantoue Castiglione, heir to the Dukes of Mantua and Guastaila, de scendant in direct line from Charlemagne, and a long succes sion of Sovereigns, who have reigned in Mantua since 1328, when Louis L,de Gonzaga,was elected by voxpopoli Sovereign of Mantua, as your actual Sovereign was elected in 1830 King of the French! My country is Italy! By the mar riage of my grandfather, his Serene Highness Prince Philip Louis de Gonzaga, in England with the Princess de Medina Ceeli, in 1760, and the birth of my father, his Serene High ness Prince Joseph Louis de Gonzaga, in 1761, I have the privileges as an Englishman which the laws of England ac curd under such circumstances. By the marriage of my father, first with the Princess Susoff Countess of Murzynowski, the title of Murzynowski was added to the other titles of our family; by his second marriage with the Princess Juliana Aladelina Esterhazy, in 1791, he had three sons, of whom I alone am the survivor. I, Prince Alexander de Gonzaga, &c., was born at Dres den the 12th of November, 1799, and was baptized at Wola by the desire of my father, according to the inclosed act. I was naturalised in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, in 1833, with the permission of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of Poland, but in Russian Poland, as I observed to the Prefecture of Police at Paris. Notwithstanding this explanation, and know t i i ng , per fectly that my last military service was in Spain 9n I 1838, the chief of the of fi ce for foreigners, chose to continue to in scribe my name on the list of Polish, instead of Spanish re fugees. Although, to say the truth, he had no right. to en title me otherwise than citizen of the kingdom of Wurtem berg until 1842, when I offered the demission of my services as subject of the King of Wurtemberg preparatory to my protestation in 1843, claiming m y rig h ts as a S overeign Prince. For the last six years I have been travelling about inde pendently, and without having experienced any molestation with my passport, delivered by order of the Minister for the Affairs of the Interior at Paris, given by M. Delessert, Pre fect of the Police, with the quality Spanish general, the passport signed, as usual, at the Office for Foreign Affairs. How then, Monsieur le Ministre, without informing your self to what extent you might compromise your King and 'his Ministers in their different correspondences with me since the year 1838—without making any referefice to the letters written until 1840, your Government qualifying me Spanish refugee, as I certainly entered France as such on my arrival from Spain in 1838—how, I repeat, could you venture into the crooked policy of the interior of a prefecture of police at •Paris, and allow yourself to acquaint M. de Kesselell; Charge d'Affaires of Russia, at the moment I was reclaimirg some copies of documents from his Government, not wishing to displace the originals, that I could only be considered as a Polish refugee? Those persons who thought proper to make useofyouto be the interpreter of this falsehood, have out menti, et grarement nienti! and have not even the pretext of igno rance, for my protestations have been sufficiently made known in the public papers and in all the Courts of Europe. Does the French police pretend then to be unaware that I arrived in France about the same time with many other Spanish officers, after having served in the army of Don Carlos in 1837 and 1838? I admit, that whilst waiting for some money I expected to receive from my family, that I accepted a trifling sum of 80 francs from the Office for Stran gers at Paris. I offered to reinzbourse this sum at the office at the end of the two months, for which space of time it was given. This does not then appear to be a sufficient motive to excuse the wish of metamorphosing me into a refugee of any nation ; nor for you, Monsieur le Ministre, to adopt in consistently a misrepresentation which has net common sense. It is truly a clearly , purchased hospitality, I may say, I have received front the French authorities, on arriving from the Spanish frontier as a Prince and officer of rank, to keep my sabre sad two pistols, worth 30,000 francs, and to give_ me an allowance of 80 francs. The Secretary of the King of the French had written to me in 1540, in answer to my re clamation of these articles, that the Minister forthe A of the Interior was entrusted with this affair, and I have not received them. until now I profit by this opportunity to reiterate n hospitality should an express to you my regret that French shouldllot•oe been so treacherously offered to a Prince whose ancestors had taken part with France and for Fr . tuice. forgetful of what is If some Frenchmen are sufficiently owing to themselves and their co untrymen to engage them selves in the disgraceful intrigues of another Government, shame upon them I I know and feel to be my ri g ht s , As to myself, spin 411 what 1 r RICI131()ND r ELECTION. • ' The death (f the by Which a vaearky in th e ti:ls 1,..r0ng!, Wad eatzsed, Created a . very general regret anioag,t tln electors. especially amongst those agreeing in the political opinions and conduct of the Hun.

WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY.--We are sorry to find that a sudden and unexpected reaction of trade begins to mani fest itself in this district. The quarterly meeting of iron masters, which, according to the usual calendar of local events, should have been held at Walsall to-day, has been postponed till next week. This, we believe, is more the re sult of a want of proper arrangement than any desire to gain time before the quarterly prices are determined on ; but the feeling is strong now in favour of considering well whether it would not be advisable to agree to a reduction of terms next week, rather than attempt to maintain present rates, when it is so evidently certain that the great reduc tion in the number of railways projected, must, of necessity, bring about a corresponding reduction in the demand for iron, which at present, and for some time past, has greatly exceeded the supply. The more experienced masters coun sel reduced rates, and a week's breathing time may lead to their counsel being followed ; but the meeting at Birming ham on Thursday will rule this point, as that is the meeting which determines the character of all the others. Nothing can exceed the restless and uneasy state of feel ing which now prevails throughout this district on the sub ject of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measures. Trade, in fact, is almost paralysed by the delay an d uncer t a i n t y that attend them; and unless they become law soon, there will be a season of great distress and feverishness all over the " black country." THE WINDSOR STEEPLE CHASES FIRST DAY (TUISDAY.) The ground chosen by the stewards '(Viscount Neville, Hon. R. N. Lawley, and Albert Ricardo, Esq.), to be ridden over this year, was in Buckinghamshire, and the start in a meadow about a quarter of a mile from Eton College, the booths being erected in Chalvey field, which, in addition to its being selected as the spot for coming in, . commanded an admirable view of the whole line of country. The fences to be taken were sixteen in number, in addition to the Chalvey ditch, and another brook at coming in. Notwithstanding the heavy rains had rendered the ground exceedingly heavy for the horses and disagreeable to the sportsman, the company was more numerous than on any former occasion. The first race was the Household Brigade Cup, value 1001., the remainder in specie by subscription of 10/. each, for horses bona fide the property of officers of the Household Bri gade—viz., Ist and 2d Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, and the brigade of Foot Guards; gentlemen riders, a winner of 501. public money to carry 51b extra ; of 70/., 71b ; and of 100/., 101 b; about four miles.

MEMORIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL FROM GLASGOW The following memorial appears in the Gasgow Argus, with the signatures of upwards of 180 of the principal mer chants and firms of that city appended : " To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury. " The memorial of the undersigned merchants, manufac turers, bankers, and other inhabitants of the city of Glasgow. "Your memorialists cannot view the present state of the money and commercial affairs of the country b u t w ith anxiety and alarm—trad e and commerce are paralyzed, and there is a want of confidence among parties engaged in business, which are detrimental to the interest of the country. " Your memorialists attribute, in a great measure, these evils to the delay in passing the measures introduced by you, on the part of her Majesty's Government to Parliament, for the alteration of the tariff. " Your memorialists therefore earnestly solicit you to adopt such means as may appear to you calculated to insure these measures passing into a law with the least possible delay." SUICIDES IN A FAMlLY.—TueEdtayerening Mr. Bedford held an Inquest at the King's Head, Knightsbridge, on the body of Anne Rook°, aged 42. John Blake, police-constable 103 A, said, that while on duty on Saturday evening last in Hyde Park, he heard that a woman had leaped into the Serpentine, near the barracks, on the south side. Ile ran to the spot, and seeing her bonnet just below the surface of the water, thought there was yet time to save her, and ran in for that purpose. Unfortunately, just as he caught hold of her, his cape blew over his eyes, and he was compelled to release his hold. She then sank, and was not taken out of the water for eight minutes. She was then quite dead. Several witnesses were exa mined with the view of explaining the cause of deceased's suicide. It appeared that she was a servant, and recently, while out of place, had been residing at No. 5, White Lion -street. Lately she had much regretted having lent 81., a sum she had saved while in service, and on Friday last, having obtained a situation at No. 23, Chester-ter race, said site was sure she should not keep her place long. The money she lent prayed greatly upon her mind. Her brother drowned himself about three years ago, and her mother attempted to destroy herself in the same manner. Deceased had recently been heard to exclaim that site would follow her brother's example. Verdict— Temporary insanity. THE NEW STREET - SWEEPER.—Some idea of the effi ciency of this machine (which is now became a regular promenader of certain districts of the metropolis) may be formed, from the fact that, whilst a man can, on the average, sweep not more titan 1,500 square yards daily, the machine, worked by one horse, sweeps front 16,000 to 24,000 square yards per diem. The economy of labour is co great, that one machine will do the work of thirty-six men. Mr. Whitworth, the inventor, agreed to sweep tke streets of Manchester twice as often as under the old system, and at a saving to the town of 5001. per annum. BLACKFR/ARS PIER.—The parish of St. Ann, Black friars, in which the whole of Blackfriars-bridge is situate, assessed the " free pier" belonging to the corporation (since indicted as a nuisance and ointruction) to the poor-rate, at a vestry meeting held on the 9th of January, and last week payment of the rate was for mally demanded of the corporation by the collector, and refused. The pier has been assessed on a rateable value of 5001. per annum, and the amount of the quarter's rate demanded is 18/. 155., on an assessment of 9d. in the pound. On Tuesday the city solicitor served notices of appeal against the rate on the overseers of St. Ann, Black friars. The case will be argued at the next Quarter Sessions. AN UNEXPECTED TREASURE —On Tuesday morning Mr. John Hamilton, residing in Park-street, Regent's Park, purchased a plcket of books at a stall in Holborn. Amongst them was a work entitled, " Observations upon the United Provinces of the Nether lands," by Sir William Temple, Bart., of Shone, in the county of Surrey, Ambassador to the Hague and at Aix-la-Chapelle in the year 1668. On inspecting the volume lie discovered 14 guineas of the reign of George 1., as well as a letter, which, however, did not refer to the money, nor the reason for placing it in " its secret hiding place," sewed up in one of the covers. Is PRINCE ALBERT TO BE "KING CONSORT ?"—The rumour which was so rife some eight or ten months ago, that it is the desire of an illustrious personage that his Royal Highness Prince t Albert should assum e th e ran k an d ti t l e o f "Ki n g Consort," Is not only again revi ve d, b u t it i s s t a t e d t o b e th e expre.se3detenttin atlo o n of her Maje s ty th a t as lit t l e t i me s h ou ld b e l os t as possi ble i n carrying into effect the royal wish on thi s ra ther ticklish subject.

" Richmond, March 26, 1846." On Friday morning, the 27th ult., it was announced, by the posting of large orange placards (the Whig colour), that Mr. Rich would meet the inhabitants in the 'Awn Hall that evening. Christopher Croft, Esq., the late Mayor, presided, and introdueed the lionourai le . candidate to the meeting, which was numerously attended by all parties, Whigs, Re formers, and Con-formers. Mr. Rich made a most excellent address, speaking out freely as a Whig, and as holding the same principles as the late lamented representative of the borough. He introduced a good deal of constitutional history from the revolution of 1688, and expulsion of the Stuarts, to tho present time; of the first Earl of Chatham, and the war which led to the loss of America, and the causes thereof; procceeded to the times and conduct of Fox and Romilly ; declared himself in favour of general education, and reform of the law, and of progressive reform in •all our institutions; denounced the general treatment of Ire land in strong terms, and praised the Lords for reversing, on the appeal, the judgment on O'Connell, &c. &c. The address was well received, and cheered by all parties, and proved in disputably that Mr. Rich was at least a Whig, if not some thing more. A resolution having been moved . by Leonard Cooke, Esq., one of the aldermen, to the effect "That the Hon. Can didate was a fit and proper per person to represent the bo rough in Parliament," it was carried amidst the cheers of the assemblage ; and en Saturday (next day) the Hon. Gentleman commenced his canvas, attended by his retained agents, probably . representing all the above parties, viz., G. J. Fielding, James Hunton, and Frederick Thirlwell. Esqs., who might all be useful when they came to their re spective friends. The election is fixed for yesterday, the Bth instant. MY. E.

THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN.—It having been reported that needlework was sent from London to the Ports mouth and Portsea unions, in consequence of the determina tion of most of the London workhouses not to take in any work except at full prices, the President and the Hen. Secretary of the above society went down to Portsmouth, and, we are glad to say, received written statements from both the matron and master, setting forth that the guardians (to their honour belt told) prohibited any needlework being taken in at those unions, as It would be inju rious to the pcor who are endeavouring to earn an industrious liveli hood.

They were Informed that, agreeably to a circular issued from the War office about three weeks since, they might be permitted, if they eon seated to be re-enlisted and attested, to reckon all their former pe riod of service in precisely the same manner as if the original attesta tion had been in all respects regular, so that they might claim their respective discharges and pensions when the proper period for so doing had arrived. We understand that several privates in the Household Brigade, thus situated, have adopted this plan, and re main in the service of the Sovereign. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—At the ordinary meeting, held on Tuesday afternoon, R. W. Barchard, Esq„ V.P., in the chair, Dr. Lindley drew attention to a new source of supply for the ensuing potato crop, In some specimens, of apparently very good quality, which had been imported from the Azores, where, according to the last accounts, the prevailing disease had not made its appearance, and a quantity of which was distributed amongst the members. Al though experiments alone could determine whether they were free from the disease, he considered that the present specimens did not exhibit the slightest symptom. Some maize of good quality was also exhibited py Mr. Keeling, brought from the same islands, although the soil of this country held out few hopes for its successful contra- Lion here. The extract from the meteorological register, kept at the gardens, from the 17th of March to the 7th of April, gave—barometer, highest, March 30, 30.116 inches ; lowest, April 6, 28.984—thermo meter, highest, March 31, 62 degrees Farenheit ; lowest, March 20, 20 degrees—and quantity of rain, 2.06 inches. ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN THE COMMON LAW COURTS —The arrears of business in the three common law courts at West minster—ViZ., the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, continues undiminislhd, notwithstanding the exertions of the learned Judges of these courts by an increase of their sittings in banco after each term.' The great and principal arrear, however, is in the Queen's Bench ; from the lists of that court, It appears there are 101 rules for new trials, the first of which, "Burgess r. Taff \'ale Railway Company," was moved in Michaelmas term 1844 ; in addition to which there are 20 standing for the judgment of tke court, 2 of which were argued as long back as Michselinas term, 1843. The special paper contains a list of 46 special cases and demurrers for arell -1 ment, and 7 standing for judgment. On the Crown side there aro 41 enlarged rules, and in the Crown paper 43 rules ; at Nisi Prins in Middlesex there is an arrear of 75 causes, 42 of which are spec Juries, 7 only being stayed by injunctions; in London, 30 eau_s n es, t. of which are special juries, and 8 stayed by Jidunetio e m: eth i g e Common Pleas the arrears are comparatively slight, th , D e n r t, and 3 for on 5 enlarged rules, 14 rules for new trials thr n iagi at Nisi Prins In Lou.

In Car marthen the house painters have turned out for an advance, and in some few instances their demands have been acceded to. It is said alto that the saddlers, and likewise the cainuet-makers and Joiners purpose following the example set them by the painters. Farm la bourers in many localities have demanded an increase of their waged from 12e. to 155. per week. Near Lampeter, however, and in other Parts of the PrillCipallty, farm labourers are scarcely obtainaldle at any price, the demand for hands at the iron works being rapidly on the increase.— The TrOshman.
