(From the United Service Gazette.) BREVET PROMOTIONS. In the Gazette of the 26th of November we alluded to a difference of opinion then existing between the King and his responsible advisers, on a subject of much interest to the services—we mean the brevet—his Majesty, desiring that the boon should appear early in January, and the Ministers wishing that it should be delayed until the natal day of the Princess Victoria. At the same time we took occasion to express our surprise at any inclination being felt in any quarter to thwart the intention of the Sovereign. _ We have, therefore, great pleasure in announcing that the Gazelle of this evening will contain the long-expected reward, which those who have risked life and health in their country's cause are so well entitled to receive. 'We feel sa tisfied that the value of the boon will be greatly enhanced in the estimation of the army and navy by the knowledge that they owe it entirely and exclusively to the firmness and per severance of the King, and to his anxious and unceasing in terference on their behalf. Under any circumstances they would receive it with feelings of gratitude, but in thepresent instance it comes recommended to them, not only as the of fering of a grateful country, but as the special gift of a kind hearted Monarch. As to the effect it will have on naval promotion, we be lieve our Hampshire contemporary, the Telegraph, to be pretty correct in stating that 102 Captains will 'either ob tain their flags, or retirement, the Hon. G. Paulett included, and that the consequence will be an addition of two shil lings half-pay daily to the 200 officers who will then be at the top of the list. As far as can be judged, about 55 officers will be put on the active flag list—active, at least, in a comparative sense, for the great bulk of those thus raised in rank can tell of fifty years' servitude ; and the list of Admirals will then comprise about 185. At the last promotion, of July, 1830, the list was 198, at which time 48 or 49 Captains were promoted. ' The Military Brevet will include— All Colonels of 1829, including Sir William Gomm. All Lieutenant-Colonels of 1822, including Lieutenant- Colonel Robert Dalyell, unattached. All Majors of 1822, including Major C. C. Johnson, half-pay 10th Foot. And all Captains of 1822. In the present arrangements, subalterns have not been included, but it is understood that Lord Howick, in the propositions he intends:submitting to Parliament, will take care that they be not excluded from some proportionate recompence, either honorary or pecuniary. By the intended measure the following regiments, com mands, and staff situations will become vacant :- Ist and 2d Life Guards, Oxford Blues, Grenadier Guards, as also the senior majority—Coldstream Guards, Scots Fusileer Guards, 16th, 39th, and 66th Regiments. The command at Chatham, at present held - by Sir Leonard Greenwell. The command of a division of Marines at Woolwich. The command of the Royal Artillery in Ireland. - - - -- - • The command of the Royal Eniineers in Ireland, Portsmouth, Devonport, Leith, Gibraltar, the lonian Isles, and Canada. The Quartermaster-Generalship in the East Indies. The Deputy Adjutant-Generalship of the Royal Artillery. The same office in the Royal Marines. The Lieut.-Governorship of the Royal Military College. The office of Inspecting Field-Officer of Militia in Jersey. Twenty King's Aides-de-Camp, besides Thirteen Colonelcies of Artillery, Eleven do of Engineers, Two do of Marines, _ _ _ Leaving at the' disposal of the authorities a number of appointments, independent of the promotion consequent on the elevation to superior rank of so many regimental officers. But it is not intended, we learn, to fill up the twenty vacan cies in the King's Aides-de-Camp that will be created by the operation of the brevet. (From a Dublin Correspondent of a Morning Paper.) Colonel D'Aguiler, Deputy Adjutant-General, has re turned to the Royal Hospital from England. Lieut. Thos. J. Burke, from the Ist (or Royal) Dra goons, has been appointed an extra Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant in the room of Lieut. Andrew Browne, on the half-pay of the 52d Regiment, who has resigned. Assistant-Surgeon Smith, of the 34th, who is now doing duty with the depot companies of his regiment at New bridge, has received orders to hold himself in readiness to join the service companies in Nova Scotia by the earliest opportunity which may offer. Detachments from the depot companies of the 73d and 75th regiments have been ordered to be selected and held in readiness to join the service companies of those corps at the Cape of Good Hope by an opportunity which is ex pected shortly to offer. The following are the numbers of which these detachments are to consist, namely, 73d Regi ment, two Ensigns (Erskine and Harding), and two rank and file. 75th, one Captain (Herbert), two Lieutenants (Richard and George), one Ensign (Cox), two sergeants, and 50 rank and file. _ _ 'A detachment from the depot companies of the 27th Regiment, now at Chatham, are also under orders to em bark for the Cape of Good Hope. Lieutenant-Colonel Chaplin, of the Coldstream Guards, has proceeded to England on leave of absence, having been relieved on duty with the Ist battalion of the regiment in this garrison by Lieutenant-Colonel H. Bentinck. Staff-Surgeon John Glasco, lately employed at Grenada, has been appointed surgeon to the Liverpool recruiting dis trict, in the room of Staff-Surgeon Elliot, who has been re moved to Barbadoes. FASHIONS FOR JANUARY. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) PROMENADE DuEss.—Manteau of cachmere broche, trimmed with fur, with large sleeves ; the pelerine mantelet, trimmed all round with fur, and fur collar. Bonnet of white velours epingle, with ostrich feathers ; and muff of fur to match the trimming on cloak. CARRIAGE DRESS.—Robe of broche silk, with pelerine trimmed with two rows of black lace, forming.a point in front ; long tight sleeves, with two rows of black lace above the elbow ; two rows of black lace.Fe placed quite at the bottom of the skirt. Bonnet of green velvet, with feathers. EVENING DRESS.—Robe of blue velours epingle ; the corsage a point, and trimmed with folds of satin and den telle de sole ; tight sleeves with double manchette and bows. A very novel and pretty trimming descends the front of the skirt, composed of satin riband and dentelle de sole. Turban of velvet, with bird of Paradise. BALL DRESS of satin broche ; the corsage is plain, with a twisted trimming round the top, and en cceur ; long sleeves, with bouffant divided in the centre by bow and ends ; the skirt is finished with a trimming en bouffant, and riband. Coiffure ala Minore, in long ringlets, and very low behind. OBSERVATIONS.—Tight sleeves arc very general, but continue to be ornamented with nceuds, bouillons, or riband ; they seem to be gaining ground over the large sleeve. In full dress the skirts are very long, having a tendency to a train, and flounces are much worn. The ceintures are worn very narrow, not above two and a half fingers in width, and the backs of corsages are never plain, except in full dress— all others are full from the waist. Mantelets of sati❑ wadded, and velvet, trimmed with fur or lace; divide with shawls the claim to fashion. Some are seen, particularly in velvet, trimmed with bullion fringe. Many scarfs are worn of plain white cachmere, lined with white or coloured taffety, or with plaited satin ribands, which latter trimming is suited to young people. The bernouss is also a novelty amongst cloaks ; it is made of satin in every colour, and trimmed with lace. Cloaks, mantles, and pelerines of white satin are very elegant for the Opera. Beads will be much used this season to ornament dresses ; on velvet they have an excellent effect. The Prince de Joinville, third son of the King of the French, who had made three voyages at sea, and had been in consequence raised to the rank of Capitan de Fregate, was to leave Paris early in the present week, to embark on board the Hercules, first-rate, of which he is, 41.•••• rel, rlek4 •••••••,.......11•• 4." h.,•,,, +b n r•AIVIII1E11111 THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1837. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-SITTING OF DEC. 30. The chair was taken at half-past one o'clock by M. Bedoch. The Ministers of Justice, of Public Instruction, of Com merce, and the Marine, were present. Messrs. Felix, Real, .jaubert, and Piscatory were pro claimed Secretaries of the Chamber. M. Bedoch then delivered the following address : " Gentlemen and Colleagues, this is the third time that I have been called by my seniority to the honour of presid ing over you ; but in exercising these functions on the pre sent occasion I have experienced painful sensations which will remain impressed upon my heart to the end of my days. These sensations were equally felt by you, when a horri ble attempt against the happiness of the whole community was made by an attack upon the person of the King of the French almost before your eyes. We have gone together to lay the expression of our grief at the foot of the Throne, and although I may not have found words of sufficient force to express it suitably, you will soon have an organ fully worthy of you.—(Hear.) Your labours are about to com mence under his powerful direction. May they, through the gravity of your deliberations, give to the laws that cha racter which commands respect, and confines evil thoughts in the depths of the hearts capable of conceiving them. This is my desire and my hope." M. Bedoch, and the temporary Secretaries, resigned their seats. M. Dupin, and the new-elected Secretaries, took their places. The President then addressed the Chamber as follows : " Gentlemen and Colleagues—The honour conferred upon me by the Chamber, by entrusting to me for the sixth time the direction of its labours, this new suffrage of my colleagues so dear to my heart, which, in preceding sessions, excited in me pride and gratitude, is this day mingled with the sadness into which we have all been plunged by the re newed attempt against the person of the King.—(Hear, hear.) Providence, however, Gentlemen, frequently, in its wonderful designs, out of evil produces good. Although these baneful attempts surround the Throne with danger, they at the same time elicit from the Prince a courage so noble, such a total abnegation of the man to display the King alone, that we arc surprised by finding the gradeur of the monarchy increased, and the dynasty consolidated, even in the bosom of danger, by the conviction it creates in the minds of every true Frenchman that they have at present at their head a monarch such as the nation delights in—a King full of valour and magnanimity.—(Cheers.) A few mi nutes only elapsed between his appearance amongst us and the attempt from which be narrowly escaped being a victim and yet you saw with what firmness he took his place on the throne erected within this hall, fulfilled his Royal duties, assisted by his Ministers, and entertained the Chamber with the affairs and interests of the State.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Following his example, Gentlemen, let us, although our hearts arc again filled with mourning, think of the duties imposed upon us as representatives of a great people who have entrusted to us the maintenance of their interests and the defence of their rights. Occu pied solely with this idea, you will enter upon the questions which will be submitted to you with calm deliberation, without suffering yourselves to be diverted from the search of truth, and, above all, with the sincerity required by the country, and which it expects from you. Each of us is deeply convinced that the Royal authority ought to be strong, and that the inviolability of the King cannot be too securely guaranteed. We shall therefore be always eager to acknowledge and defend the constitutional prerogatives of the Crown, at the same time that, as France has a right to expect from us, we maintain our own free from encroach ment, and without being weakened, with that dignity which gives value to unanimity and steadiness to the point of sup port. Gentlemen and colleagues, I have seen the Chamber penetrated with one universal feeling ; may I see it ani mated with one and the same opinion." The Chamber was then declared constituted, and the President announced that the usual notice should be sent to the Chamber of Peers. The President read a letter from the Commander-in- Chief of the National Guards, announcing that a detach ment would be at the disposal of the Chamber during the Session. The President drew for the Members who are to form the deputation to wait upon the King in the name of the Chamber with its congratulations on the new year. The following are the names :--Messrs. Lefevre, Odilion Barrot, Bodin, Crignon de Montigny, Generals Lamy and Leydet, Emile Girardin, Harle (de la Somme), Goupil, Auberlin, Sapey, Gucstier, Carriot, Bossiere, Bureaux de Pusy, Wa rein, Gen. Bugeaud, and Gautier Duzerche. The President reminded the Members that the deputa- tion would meet to-morrow (Sunday) at the Chamber, at eleven o'clock, and that those who wished to join it at the Tuillerics must be there by twelve.

(From the Madrid Gazette of Dec. 24.) DISPATCH RECEIVED AT THE WAR-OFFICE. The Constitutional Alcalde of Bujalance on the 15th in. stant writes what follows to the Minister of War : cavalry, a separate list of whose names I shall furnish you. I likewise recommend the mounted National Guards, Lieu tenant Don Juan Espinoza, and the volunteers, Jose San tana and Jose Ximenes, who joined me at the pass of Baeza with valour and enthusiasm.' " The merit displayed by the worthy patriot Don Fran cisco de la Huerta in the above action cannot be appreciated by any one but those acquainted with the position occupied by the Cabicilla lurado in this district, which he so long infested, and where, by fear or affection, he had gained the protection of all the operatives, defying the vigilance of the most lynx-eyed, owing to the information he hourly re ceived of the movements of his pursuers , causing innume rable robberies and destruction with his immortal band, daily swelled by the dispersed stragglers of the band of Gomez, after the action of Alcandete, as well as the fugi tives of the present levy, who joined him to sack the de fenceless villages. Their extermination is the more laudable, as it was effected at the very beginning of Don Francisco de la Huerta undertaking their pursuit, who, it is hoped, will soon finish with this chieftain, the only one existing in this Comarca, seconding thus the distinguished services ren dered to the country by the gallant division of General Espartero, to which he belongs." (From the Eeo del Comereio of the ‘24th December.) Letters from Miranda (del Ebro) of the 17th state that accounts have been received there from Biscay, asserting that Villarael had arrived at Guernica, that the whole country was much disgusted, and that the rebels said, if they did not take Bilboa, they should retire to their homes, and . there receive with powder and ball whoever wished to drag them once more from thence. This disgust was in creasing, as it appeared that nothing was gained, and that their wounded were dying. They write to us from a village in the province of Va lencia, that the band of the archpriest of ANT., and the other rebels who joined him, have been completely beaten at Aras, and that our soldiers spread over the mountains in search of the miscreants, and demanded the rations re quisite for their support from the adjacent villages, with notice to deliver up such rebels as might have presented themselves. The band of the archpriest was the terror of the province of Cuenca, and this defeat will be as agreeable to the natives and the nation as destructive and death to the traitor Carlos. Letters from Soria of the 18th state, that the political chief has returned to that city, having accomplished the object of his sally, by apprehending 30 dispersed rebels, 5 horses, and 180 dollars, which he distributed amongst the captors—likewise some arms. The owner of one of the horses has appeared, and received him back ; the rest, if fit, are to be applied to the cavalry service, or to be sold for the benefit of the captors. The band of Gomez passed the western border of this province, closely observed by the troops who accompanied the political chief, who, on their return, brought in many of Gomez's deserters. We hear that the division of Alaix fell on the rear-guard of Gomez at Huerta, killed some, and gave no quarter, on account of some atrocities committed by this chief at Fuente-Megie. This province now enjoys the most profound tranquillity. The Commandant-General has left this city with some troops ; other columns have likewise marched out, and great activity is shown in repairing the evils suffered by the pro vince. Forty prisoners, taken from the band of Gomez in the province of Guadalajara, arrived yesterday in Madrid, as well as some deserters. From Durango, the Court of his Silvan Majesty, a cor respondent writes—" Tired of reading the puffs of Don Carlos's Gazette, though my position compels me to reside among those people, I address you, to call your attention to the tactics of that editor, inventing a thousand stories of battles gained by the rebels in every part of Spain, and quoting also the Madrid journals, as if these false and un founded news had been copied from them. I shall thus void the ill humour this trick has caused me, by pointing it to you, and thus rendering a service to the cause of liberty, for which I sigh, but cannot render it any other. " On the 30th of November, when Cabrera was shame fully routed , at Arevalo, by a force not one-third of his own strength, those liars asserted that he had outwitted the vigilance of the troops, and pursued his almost victorious march. " When Sanz arrived in this country, after experiencing defeat upon defeat, the Gazette of this King in particular said, that as the presence of General Sanz was expedient for the operations of the Royal army, he effected it by a flank movement, entering the province in defiance of the pursuit of the enemy's troops. " The misery of the rebel troops here is frightful ; de sertion cannot be prevented, therefor; which is frequently repeated, but always attempted to be concealed. VITTORIA, DEC. 19.—Gomez has at last succeeded in penetrating into these provinces. In spite of the troops who pursued him, and of those who marched hence to his encounter, he passed yesterday the Ebro, at the bridge of Horadada, one league from Ona. At the same village the division of Alaix slept the same night, with an intention to continue the pursuit of the rebels without halting. The latter may be still:said to consist of cavalry, for exclusive of two regular squadrons of these arms, it has two, mounted battalions of infantry, who may be overtaken before they can incorporate themselves with Villareal or Eguia. But whether our calculations are right or wrong, we have a great advan tage in Gomez's return to this country, for the troops he brings are so insignificant, as to be no addition to the army of the Pretender, whilst, on the other hand, ours will now receive a very considerable reinforcement, capable of com pletely annihilating it shortly, if, as we hope, operations are well combined and executed on our part. In our opinion, as soon as the divisions of Narvaez and Ribero arrive, the best opportunity of beating the enemy will present itself, by placing the Carlists between two fires of imposing armies, and forcing them to battle in the midst of a blockade (of Bilboa). However exaggerated the Carlist forces may be, they will be now compelled to abandon the environs of Bilboa, and to raise the siege of that heroic city, espe cially as Espartero lias taken the bridge and heights of Castrejana, and to retire into Biscay. A thousand favour able chances present themselves now, which, if pursued with prudence and energy, must and ought to terminate in the destruction of the rebels. _ MV According to the telegraphic despatches of this evening, the provisional regiment of Cordova, commanded by Senor La Garda, has beaten Gomez this morning. This news does not deserve much credit, the distance between them being considerable. Somaniago, the Colonel of Salamanca, who, with six companies of his regiment, and a score of horse, was at Breviesca, had the finest opportunity of attacking Gomez on his passage through Brujela, but did not think proper to stir, sending only five horsemen to observe the enemy, which paltry patrol, seeing that chief march in great disor der, approached him sufficiently close to take 20 odd pri soners, a number that would have been much greate; had the Colonel marched with all his troops.—El Castellano of the 24th Dec. After passing the Ebro, Gomez is said to have been beaten by Don Antonio La Garda, Lieut.-Colonel Major of Almanza, and commander of a column formed to operate in La Rioja, who make .50 odd_ prisoners, and the gallant Zurbano taking 100 more. " Most Excellent Ssnor,—At eight o'clock this morning I received by an express a dispatch, dated yesterday, from Don Francisco de la Huerta, a captain of the regiment of Almanza, at present commander of the pursuing column in this province, residing- at Dona Mencia, written from the fdrm-house of La Morena, in the district of the city of Cor dova, of the following tenour : " It is now five o'clock in the evening, and I have in my possession 29 horses, lances, sabres, &c., with 20 dead faccioso (thieves), and eight prisoners, without counting those that could not be taken, belonging to the party of the chieftain lurado, who, being well mounted, escaped me with eight of his followers, without any other loss on my part than the grief I feel at not having caught him, which I shall do some other day. " All this I submit to you, that you may, if you think proper, bring this interesting service rendered to the cause of liberty, and especially to the industrious labourers of this agricultural district (campana), under the cognizance of her Majesty the Queen, our Sovereign. I particularly recom mend Don Francisco Arjona, sub-lieutenant of the cavalry regiment of Principe, who, with 30 men of his corps, left me nothing to desire ; as well as Don Cefarino Gonzales and Don Jose Maria de Paz, sub-lieutenants of the Com pany of Security, who ; with 40 men of the valiant and de termined corps which I have the hoiour to command, at tacked with the bayonet, and at the same charge step as the ADELPHI THEATRE. A new drama was produced last night at this theatre, entitled The Duchess de la Vaubaliere. It is from the pen of Mr. Buckstone, and was completely successful. The scene, as the name implies, is in France ; the date is fixed towards the latter days of the Regency, and the accession of Louis XV., and the story is appropriately illustrative of the licentious manners and dark deeds of tyranny attri buted to some of the nobility of that age. Leonard (Mr. 0. Smith) is an honest old farmer, whose only daughter Julie (Mrs. Yates) has formed an attachment for a poor student named Adrian (Mr. Heming) whose proposals, however, he hesitates to accept, until he shall have worked his way to better fortune, and cleared away the mystery which appears to hang about his birth and parentage. Adrian quits the house, resolved to pursue his studies at the college of Montpellier for the next six months— then to return and claim his bride. No sooner is he gone than another candidate appears for the fair lady's smiles. Leonard holds a lease of the Due de la Vaubaliere (Mr.. Lyon) which is about to expire, and which he seeks to renew upon advantageous terms. He has sent to Paris for his notary Morrisseau (Mr. Buckstone), to look over the lease, and a person, calling himself the Steward of the Duke, makes his appearance, and gives every sympton of a ready acquies cence ; the two men of business confer, and the Steward turns out to be the Duke himself ; the prize he looks to for his generosity as a landlord is the virtue of his tenant's daughter, and, nzirabile dictu, the little Paris notary turns out to be an honest man, and vows his determination to frustrate the guilty designs of his Grace, who in vain tries to cajole him into acquiescence. Foiled in diplomacy, his graceless Grace resolves to resort to force ; and whilst Mor riseau is preparing to open Leonard's eyes to the conspiracy which threatens his daughter's happiness and his own, a scream is heard, the window-curtain is drawn aside, and Julie is discovered, dragged by hired ruffians into a richly gilt carriage, which drives off as the curtain falls. In the second act we are introduced to the chateau of the Duke ; he is carelessly seated, turning over the leaves of a book, when an old domestic, Martha (Mrs. Daly), announces that poor Julie has awakened from the swoon into which she had fallen, is frantic in her cries for her father, and that all thoughts of reconciling her to the base proposals of the Duke, are hopeless. The good old woman vainly endeavours to soften the heart of the young roue to the dictates of feeling, or of conscience—she is, authoritatively, dismissed from the Chamber. Then the attendants announce the arrival of the Regent of France (Mr. Yates) to pay a passing visit in search of the sports of the field. The Prince recounts how his progress has been twice arrested in the course of the day by a wretched looking man in a frantic state, who, it was apprehended, had a design on his life. The Duke retires to summon the grooms, and gives directions for the chase; and the veteran Leonard, who has been secured by the Prince's suite, is brought in. In an impassioned and dignified colloquy his injuries are detailed, and the Prince, indignant at the in corrigible baseness and licentiousness of the Duke, pro mises him redress. He does so—but to confirm the misery of the unhappy Julie. Once more restored to her father's embrace, the latter is upbraiding the Duke for his villainy and threatening a death-dealing revenge, when the contemp tible hypocrite excuses his conduct by declaring his readi ness to marry the object of his attachment, if he can but obtain the permission of the Regent. The Regent, who has returned hastily from the chase, is already in the room, con firms the proposal, and resolves to see it executed in his pre sence. Julie, driven by the entreaties of her father, and dread ing the scorn of the world, which, unjust though it be, she knows awaits her, consents to wed the Duke ; but it is also agreed between them that as soon as the ceremony is passed they shall quit the chapel and each other's pre sence for ever. After a lapse of some months the third act opens—old Leonard is dead, and the Duke, who has been on a diplomatic mission to the Court of Spain, is announced as having just returned. Notwithstanding the agreement we understood to have been come to, he enters the Duchess's presence, and, after a cold recognition, or ders her to her chamber, where it seems he meditates exe cuting an atrocious tragedy, which shall leave him at liberty to take advantage of a nobler and wealthier match which now offers itself. The steps which he takes to ac complish this purpose are strongly of the Radcliffe school, developing a complication of machinery and of precaution which, though all very well imagined, appear sometimes questionable and contradictory. A young man is dragged on the stage, with his eyes bound ; but just at the very point when he is about to be confronted with the Duke, and when his blindness would be most desirable, the bandage is removed, and he is ordered to write pre scriptions for such several drugs as, though individually harmless, produce a deadly poison when mixed to gether. The names of these ingredients are to be written on several pieces of paper, and sent to different chemists' shops, in order to prevent suspicion. The Student (for such he is), who gives semblance of consenting, exactly re verses his instructions, writes the names of several deadly poisons on the different papers which, when combined, shall be harmless, and the Duke reads them with exultation ! The rest is soon told—Julie, though she twice swoons, and twice revives, does not die ; the unfortunate medical student is no other than Adrian, who turns out to be the lawful Duke de la Vaubaliere, his grace being an illegiti mate brother; and a divorce having been opportunely pro cured, the happy lovers are united, and the miserable and plebeianised seducer is marched off to the Bastile. Such is an outline of the story of this drama, which, it will be perceived, presents many points of interest. The acting was good throughout., Mrs. Yates, who has won many laurels in characters of forcible but homely inrerest, last night on many occasions surpassed what we had expected of her, particularly in the first two acts. 0. Smith, as the loving and distracted parent, gave some splendid touches of pathos and manly indignation. Yates was dignified and judicious as the Regent, and dressed the part to perfection. Mr. Ly.n as the Duke, and Mr. Hemming as Adrian, both performed effectively. As for " Little" Buckstone, as we believe he is familiarly styled by his friends (and they are not a few), he was, besides being the author, the very life and soul of the piece.. Not an incident nor a turn of the plot but he was influentially employed in, and there was nothing that he applied his hand or the energies of his mind to but was sure of success. Laughter was, of course, thickly mingled with even the most serious parts of the story, but never under circumstances to become unwelcome or offensive. The piece was announced for repetition amidst loud cheering. MIDDLLESEX COUNTY COURT, KINGSGATE-STREET, MONDAY. MILLINERY MISERIES.—Miss Stevens summoned Miss Cogan for 175., the value of two puce-coloured bonnets. Miss Stevens was a tartar-like looking lady, very long and unbending, a sort of " lengthened sweetness long drawn out," while Miss Cogan was a dumpy personification of something extremely short, and by no means pleasant, and she was accompanied by a remarkably square-headed gen tleman, who, with much difficulty, was kept quiet by the officers of the Court. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—How was this debt con tracted, Miss Stevens? Plaintiff—Sir, she (the defendant) agreed to make me and my fellow-servant a bonnet, if I found the stuff. Very well ; I found the stuff. It was a black satin, and I gave a matter of 4s. a yard for it. Very well. I ses to her, " Make them up nicely, and you buy the ribbin,' and put it in the bill." With that, your Lord ship, she makes the bonnets, but she never made the rib bin' to match, and so natterally considering my stuff was spiled, I summoned her for the zvallcy (value) of it and the shapes.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Are the bonnets in Court ? De fendant—Yes, Sir, I have brought them, and consider them no disgrace to any respectable dressmaker. Here a couple of puce-coloured bonnets were handed up, and, after being minutely examined by the Learned Com missioner and the Jury, they unanimously came to an opinion that the ribands and linings did not match the outside. Defendant's Friend—l mean to say, Sir, that it is as near a match as possible.—(Laughter.) CommissioNEß—Do you, but we think differently ; we happen from long practice to be judges of these things.— ( Laughter) The Jury decided in favour of the plaintiff. THE FIRE IN BLACKMAN-STREET.—The body of the poor girl who perished in the flames yesterday se'n night still remains in the ruins. Several labourers have been employed for the last day or two to shore up the walls of the houses on each side where the awful calamity took place, and very probably the body will be discovered in the course of the day. All the inmates escaped without injury except the unfortunate deceased. There are only two members of the Temperance So ciety at Beilby, near Doncaster—the one is an ale-brewer, the other a wine-merchant The Brussels Journals announce that public prayers have been ordered to be put in all the churches of the king dom for the safe delivery of the Queen of the Belgians. A singular bet was won, on Friday last, at a wine shop in the rue Colysee. A man laid a wager that he would eat a four-pound loaf, fifteen pounds of boiled beef without bone, and drink four bottles of wine, at one meal. He accomplished the task, and afterwards declared that he was ready to begin again. The bet was only the price of the articles consumed. The will of Charles X. has been opened and publicly read. This testament does not affect to devise any political distinctions, or to guard against disputes upon that debate able question amongst the members of the ex-royal family, but merely names the Duke of Bordeaux as general legatee. The head place of the family is at present conceded to, and filled by. the Duke d'Amroulerne. AFRICA. MOZAMBIQUE--CAPTURE OF A SPANISH SLAVER. — His Majesty's brig Leveret, on her arrival at Mozambique on the I 4th of June, found the Government imprisoned by some of the soldiers and Portuguese inhabitants. The tem porary Government requested our assistance in liberating the Governor and restoring tranquillity and good order in the city. The crew of the Leveret were landed under the orders of the Commander, who, having gained possession of the fort, released the Government, and arrested two officers and nine men of the principal insurgents. Our ar rival appears to have been most providential, for on that very evening the Governor and most of the white population were to have been murdered, it being the intention of the insurgents to act the same scene which was acted last year at the Cape de Vcrds, and now acting at Para, in Brazils. We were, undoubtedly, the means of preventing much bloodshed. _ _ ----------- On the 9th of September his Majesty's brig Leveret, when on her return to the Cape of Good Hope, from a six month's cruise on the east coast of Africa, in latitude about 24. 50. south, and longitude 40. 46. east, fell in with a brig under Spanish colours, which, having conside rably the advantage in point of sailing, and the wind being light, the boats of the Leveret were sent away for the purpose of boarding her. Mr. Foote, mate, in the gig, and :Mr. J. T. Russell, second master, follow ing in the cutter, armed. The former, when under the stern, hailed the brig, and inquired where she was from ; a person answered in English, 80 days from Havannah, bound to Manilla. Mr. Foote told them he. wished to come on board ; the same person replied—" If you attempt to come on board we will kill you all."' But the Leverts were not to be repulsed without a trial, and pushed s teadily on, when on a sudden a number of men, to the supposed amount of sixty, made their appearance on the poop and quarters, and opened a very smart fire of musketry and swivel guns, killing one man, and wounding severely several more, Mr. Russell, second master, being shot through the arm, and the sailmaker being so severely woundedmin the elbow joint as to render instant amputation necessary. From th e number wounded our men Were obliged to return to the Leveret, being then distant about two miles. A light breeze springing up enabled he r to increase her distance, and by sunset she was nearly out of sight ; however, most of those in the boats and many on board, by the aid of spy-glasses, managed to make observations which could not possibly escape them in the event of falling in with her a second time. The Commander, being determined to trace the haunt of the pirate, returned towards Mozambique, anchoring there on the 20th September, and on the 25th, whilst lying at anchor under the Island of St. George, off , Mozambique, towards noon, a rakish-looking brig was de- 'N scried in the offing, which, on nearing the land, hoist' Spanish colours. - The Leveret was disguised in every way to give her the appearance of a Brazilian slaver ; the ruse answered admi rably. The Spaniard continued neariug the harbour very cautiously ; not a person was to be seen about the Leveret's decks but the kroomen, who were placed purposely in the boat amidships, until 3. 30. p.m., when the Spaniard having got so far within the island as to be impossible to extricate himself, the Leveret (being previously hove short) tripped her anchor, made sail into the harbour, and boarded in good style the Spanish piratical and slave brig Diogmzes, mount ing 8 long and short 9.4-pounders, and having on board a crew consisting of 56* men, 5 of whom were slightly wounded. At the moment of boarding she threw her slave coppers overboard, and the Port - no - nese Fort St. Sel:ast:an,moin. , ting 80 guns, 23 of which at blot time trained upon the Leveret, opened fire on the Leveret, one shot entering her larboard side. A message was sent to the Governor to inform hint of our having taken possession of g ,Spanish pirate, This did not satisfy trlem, and they were not content w ith insultin g the British flag by firing into his Majesty's brig Leveret, but they endeavoured by sinister means fet get our Com mander on shore, and make a prisoner of him. After amus ing themselves for three days firing at the Lever.et and her lawful prize (five shots having struck the Levert:Of they made an attempt to retake the prize, which proved unsuc cessful; they opened fire, which appeared to be more in tended for the destruction of the prize, nine shots havino entered her hull. We hauled down our colours to prevent downright murder, for we were lying within pistol-shot oF their fort, and the Portuguese sent off a large launch, ac companied by several small boats filled with soldiers (who it is supposed were Spaniards belonging to the Spanish ships in the harbour, and dressed out for the occasion) ; they took forcible possession of the prize, and hoisted Portu guese colours, our men in the confusion being obliged to talze to the water for their safety.—The South African. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S—YESTBIDA Y. THE DERBY. Vie Derby prices will be found to vary in several .respects from those quoted on the last betting day. The imprayement in Lot d Jersey's two is decided, and the Flare-up party I , re al ready 0 , anguine in their expectations of being enabled tt. , get eta of th eir difficulties. Lord Exeter's lot is also up, Tro.ilus (the Groon Mantle colt) and Brother to Cactus, having masie a marked Advance. Two bets were made about the latter, du: first 2;0001. to .504 and the other 3,0001. to 100/ ten points less. Dardanelles L'arely keeps his ground, and Adrian is out: of the market. 16 to 1 was about the Phantasima colt, and'. offers made in divers quarters to bank him at the same odds. Another blow was struck at Defender, who will be found to have receded four or five poilits. There can be little doubt, however, that he will see a better day ere long. Caravan, it will be recollected, came into the market on Thursday last, at 50 - lo 1 ; he was backed yesterday .at the same price, a declara tion having previously been made on thy part of his noble owner that " unless sold previously in all proh,ability he would not go fur the Derby." Beyond those mentiont. dno material changes tools :place amongst the outsiders. Tht.' room was well at tended, and the business brisk, but, accordinj to the new prac tice, it did not commence till between four S and five o'clock, nor tern.tinate till half an hour beyond the usual tune. 11 to 2 agst Lord Jersey's lot—take 6 to 1 6 to I asst Lord Exeter's lot—offered Bto 1 agstt Colonel Anson's Jereed—take 8 to 1 8i to 1 agst • Lord Jeriey's Bro. to Bay Middleton—tak en and aftet•wards offered • 15 to 1 agst Captain Gardner's Phantasima colt—take 16 - N I 16 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Defender—taken 17 to 1 agst Mr. %Greville's Mango—offered.

No ac counts have been received from the oilier places, but there is every reason to believe that the general entry will be very full. THE DONCASTER ST. _LEGER. LONDON AND NEWMARKET NOMINATIONS.

All the Newmarket stakes have filled exceedingly well. YAWNING.—Among the singular superstitions IA the Egyptians is one which renders yawning particularly ob.- noxious, they believing that the devil is apt to leap into a^ gaping mouth. The confectioners have commenced laying in their stock of ice for the summer, and are likely to have a suffi cient supply of thick ice of good quality so as to preclude the necessity of importing it from the Baltic., whici: has been the case for some years past. At the commencement of January, in 1814, the snow laid so deep in the West, particularly as to prevent travelling, and the severity of the frost was noticed in every part of England. The thermometer, exposed to a north eastern aspect, stood nineteen degrees below the freezing point, and in Ireland the winter was nearly as severe. EDUCATION.—Our competitors have not been un mindful of the various excellent establishments for the in ,struction of youth in our neighbourhood. The Western Times and West of England Conservative, though widely opposed in politics, have " joined issue" in commendation of Mr. T. M. Burt's exertions, and of his able coadjutor, Mr. E. C. Brown ; both journals pointing out, in very forcible terms, the excellent mode of tuition—the superior domestic a rrangements—the kind treatment—and the enforcement of moral and reli g ious duties, which has for a series of years . characterised Windsor House Establishment. We have also seen specimens of the oil paintings referred to by our contemporary, and cannot withhold our tribute of admira tion from Master Drake, and sincerely hope that should he make the art his profession, he will not suffer the unmerited neglect that in his native country attended his talented parent. We will on this occasion come nearer home than our contemporary, and state that we have had children educated at this Establishment, and that we feel it not only a pleasure, but a grateful task, to add our humble meed of praise to the general marks of approbation so deservedly ' bestowed, by the public press, on Mr. Burt's indefatigable zeal and sterling talent.—Devonport Independent. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—This is the right sort of companion for Old January ; it is full of fun and revelry, and its merry humour sets the blood spinning with a healthy alertness that defies even the present stubborn frost. And no wonder, when we think of the Club of choice spirits who, to use the old tobacconist's legend, " are united in one cause." " Boz" is the President ; and seated around the table, we find Theodore Hook, Fenimore, Cooper (author of "The Pilot"), Father Prout, .Dr. Magginn, Samuel Lover, Haynes Bayley, and the celebrated authors of " Headlong Hall," " Stories of Waterloo," " Rattlin the Reefer," " Hajji Babi," &c. These are the men to make a " Miscellany" worthy of the best days of glorious John Dryden, and his publisher, honest old Jacob Tonson. Owing to the numbers of people, and the largeness of the traffic in some of the streets, a thaw often appears to have commenced, when, in fact, little or no actual change in the state of the atmosphere has taken place. Since the commencement of the present snow storm, which has been accompanied by a strong north-easterly gale, a complete embargo has been put upon the shipping in Leith. The steamers which should have sailed for Lon don on Saturday, are still detained, owing to the boisterous state of the weather ; a number of vessels for other ports, are also waiting for a change of weather. Some of our London contemporaries have been\ complaining of the length of time occupied by the sessions at the Central Criminal Court, since the Prisoners Coun sel Bill has been in operation ; things are managed better in this happy county, for a Just-ass of the Peace (of com mitting notoriety) has adopted the expedient of sending parties to take their trial. without hearing evidence, a mode w hich, however illegal, must at least save him a vast deal of time and trouble.—Liecestershire Mercury. THE LORDS or OLD.--_A Bill embodying . a plan for enabling the labouring poor to provide support for them selves in sickness and old age, by small weekly savings from their wages, was introduced by Mr. Dowdeswell, and ap proved by the Hou se o f C ommon s, in 1773 ; but it met with the same fate as another Bill framed by the Commons in 1789, and founded on tables computed, at the request of a Committee, by Dr. Price. The Lords rejected both bills ; and thus deprived the labouring poor of the guidance of a legislative act in the formation of friendly societies for half a century.—M'Cullock's Statistics. Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, as Mrs. Jane Milton, a lady of property, residing in the Camberwell-road, was proceeding with her livery servant in a gig along Camden-town towards home, the horse, which was a high-spirited one, took fright at some boys who were snowballing each other, and plunging suddenly to, the off side, slipped down and broke one of the shafts. ,By the violence of the shock the unfortunate lady was precipitated from her seat to the ground, and was so much injured about the head and body as to render her recovery extremely doubtful. The servant, by jumping down , esc a p ed with only a trifling bruise.
