It having been announced that Lord St. Leonard's w ould take his seat as Lord Cha ncellor this morning, the Court at Lincoln's Inn presented, very soon after eleven o'd „ an appearance most unu suall y bustlin g . The tlacious hall was crowded in every available corner, and approaches to the court were also filled with a strug gling crowd, w ho were unable to get bey ond the reshold of the court at the f arthest. The attendance or the gentlemen of the Bar was also numerous, though Th um some d e fect in the arrangeme nts, a g ainst which e / loudly exclaimed, ma n y of them were mixed up in th e.general crowd, the variou s swa y in g s to and fro of Leh produced such unceremonious collisions as sent up % cloud of powder dense enough at times almost to reure the gsze. At twelve o'clock his Lordship made appearance, accompanied by the Lords Justices, the aster of the Rolla, and the Vice-Chancellors. The 14141 oath was administered by the Ma ster of the Rolls, an d, l 4, 1 his Lordship, having bo wed to the Bar, proceeded I,ediately to hear appeals. No business of importance wa s brou g ht before the ether Courts. IIiCLOSE 01' THE DIORAMA OF THE OVERLAN D -1 4— This beautiful piece of work and highly prosperous s peculation was brought to a clo se on Saturda y last. At the . d omination of the afternoon lecture, Mr. Stoc q ueler ad dLeseed the audience, stating bristly the success which bad attend e d the enterprise, and ce ilin g attention to the future. fce stated that the original inten tion ot the artists, Messrs. ieve,Telbin, and Absolon, was to illustrate some of the Most interesting branches of literature—travels, history, poetry, romance ; that in seeking for a fitting subject, the o Overland Route to India, associated as it was with so many a °l nesie, commercial, and political interest', and em uracifig so many scenes of varied beauty, suggested itself; and the result has justified it , adoption. The diorama bad nn exhibited upwards of 1,600 times, and had been seen by half a million persons, embracing all classes, from the prince intlinder peasant. Mr. Stocqueler added, that it was now and of ei o e take uphota.noontehecramberasonch of literature —history ; as the memorable powerfully recommended the Duke of r° a e w h li t s e el period embraced in the military career of soldier, the conn exi m o gton. The character of the illustrious peace of and the honour, gior;uabsisting between his achievements Britain, and the overpowering interest. n t ti e commercial prosperity of Great would be opened whole world, imparted to the aubject an achievements a diorama uponeeat• In illustration of those a larger scale than that of the Overland Route ed on Easter Monday, co mmensurate that their treatment and it was the ardent hope of the .Irate with its deep of the theme would be found o f such countenance. g importance. In conclusion, Mr. Stocqueler liberal, the unexampled patronage , t. e rus ed that the t h s e ti o f m o i n x _ lama had enjoyed would be extended to the expiring fo ;biter: leEboxne 'Work, if it were found worthy BOROUGH MEMBE 8 RETURN OF ,I.E RsE .

ALLEGED MURDER BT A PUGILIST.—An inquiry was taken on Saturday by BIT% Bedford, the coroner, in the board-room of the Westminster Hospital, on the body ,of Ellen Winfield, aged V, who was reported to have died from the violence of " Bill Stebbings," the pugilist. It appeared by the testimony of the husband of the dec last W infield and and many other witnesses, that on Saturday week his wife met Stebbings at the end of York-terrace, York street, Westminster, and the former asked him if he could V,l3' him a portion of the money that was due to him ? Stab , ,togs replied he would give him a shilling if be would go to his house in Castle-lane, - hich is close to Elliot's brewery. This was objected to by Winfield, and his wife went while he waited for her return. In about 20 minutes she d came back and said that Stebbings, having taken her b eyon eceased the house, threw her on her back on the ground. d Woman became very ill from pain in the head and back, and on Monday night she was taken to the Westminster Hos pital, where she died on Tuesday night. The surgeon found /10 marks of exte r nal violence , but time was great: effusion on the brain, but whe her caused by violence, a fall. -or natural causes, he could nut tell. The jury returned au Open verdi c t " That the deceased died from etiu•ion on the brain, but whether caused by violence they had no evidence."

Signals are immediately made by blue lights, rockets, and minute guns, when the lugger' and f o ul-weather galleys from th e . above-named places put to s ea and give assistance. There has not been a guard ship stationed there since 1831, but the Seven, Ramifies , and Talavera, which were in the Downs from i 815 to 'B3l, rendered essential services to merchant ships of all nation's that untortunately got on these trecherous sands. A genial. and delightful paper on Miss Mary Rus sell i'ditford, the Celebrated author of " Our Village," is the opening contributon to the eveeeet neenbeeO Blackwood, having beer, suggested by her " lections." The reviewer evidences, throughout, his ap preciation of her very charming style, her gentle nature, her briliant descriptive powers, her grace, her benevolence, and her originality. In the course of the article -the reader will find quoted some elegant verses from the pen of John_ I3anim, famed as the writer of the " Tales of the O'Hara Family." Another portion of " Struggles for Fame and Fortune," the third, will be welcomed by those who have read the instalments already published, more particularly as there is per ceptible in it a considerable increase of interest, and in several other respects a very general improvement. Mr. Coke's recent work on Kafirland has furnished another critic in Maga with a plea for presentiag us with some " Sketches from the Cape," at all times worthy of examination but at the prese nt moment peculiarly acceptable. ' The nineteenth part of "My Novel; or Varieties in English Life," reveals anew the various and remarkable abilities already so frequently and admirably displayed by Sir Bul• wer Lytton as a novelist—as, in fact, one of the most gifted and accomplished writers of fiction who lies 'ever adorned our native literature. The " initial chapter" to the tenth book here commenced is one of the most clever yet published ; and we would observe, by the way, that these initial chapters are quite novelties in their way, having been originated by the author of "The Caxtons"---combining the at tractions of thee essay with the fascinations of ro mance, enabling the author and the reader to hold, as it were, at intervals, a friendly gossip together, and empowering the romancist .to pass judgment at pleasure. upon his own creation, after the merry man ner of Fadladeen. [Alas ! that so very recently within the present week we should have lost poor Tom Moore, " the beloved of all circles, the idol of his own," as Lord Byron called him in that brief but eloquent tribute to his friendship.] Randal Leslie even now has the ground trembling under bis feet— undermined by his own suicidal craft. We are more than ever in hopes that Lord L'Estrange's ill essorted marriage with Helen may never take place, hu, - . that the gentle "child-angel" may be a comfort to the toiling ambition of Leonard, while Harley himself—most beautiful and loveable of characters may have his dormant energies awakened by the influence of the genius and lovelines . s of Violante. Mention is made again of,p;or Burleye-the noblest of all the creations in the present - ,storyand Vre await with some anxiety his re -appearance on the sceoe.r. As the type of a class, Burley is painted with the hand of a master. Expec tations of good in Beatrice are awakened in the mind of the reader, and we can dream of that good p o sialyextieridipg itself to the heart and fortunes of Frank Haeledean. Then again— e Audley Egerton, the _Minister,' the strong public man, vigorous in bearing, but •with disease gnawing at his vitals—to hear of him as we do in the present instalment is to he filled with dieted and cornpasSion. There is a sweet and exquisite pathos in the brief scene between Audleac and Harley L'Estrange. A timely article suggested by Mr. W. J. Smith's edition of " The Grenville Papers," and entitled "English Adminis irations," tonne the next portion in the March num• bar of Blackwood—being fraught with especial in terest at a juecture when the Gray-Russell Cabinet has been so suddenly succeeded by the Derby- Disraeli Government. Mr. Prinsep'a ingenious pro duction, issued from the press last season, and having reference to the religion of Boodh, is selected by another contributor to Maga as a reason for pre senting to the public some disquisitions on "Tibet and the 'Lamas;" while another writer has taken Mrs. Moodie's " Roughing it in the Bush," under criricism,describing, while so doing, rather pleasantly, "Furest Life in Canada West," with all its peculiar cbaracteristics. Tee metre rendered popular by Mr. Teeneson's " Lockeley Hell," has been employed as a vehicle for the utterance of a "Farewell to the Rhine," by one penning his adieux at Bonn. After this comes the closing paper for March. an argument relating to " Tbe Reform Measures of 1852 ," with a " Postscript," expressive of exultation at the recent hange of her Majesty's Government. , MR: DICKENS' NEW WORK. BLEAK HOU Sl'. No. I. By Charles Dickens. -Rude ure already germinating in the boughs of March ; but, among all the evidences of the approach of.apring, none will be more -welcome to the hearts and hearths of England than the "two green leaves" put forth in the new serial by " Boz," those two green leaves to the appearance of which we have been look ing forward ever since the close of " David Copper field." And the best of it is—we shall have them renewed now during very nearly twenty mouths to come. " Bleak House," as all the world knows now, is the title at it—", a dreary name," according to the opinion (see page 22) even of the Lord High Chan cellor. From all that we can judge by merely a first instalment of a work of such considerable dimen sioei, "Bleak House" threatens to be the last terrible, and we trust also overwhelmingly successful, blow directed against the iniquitous court presided over by that august functionary. The citizens of the United States not long since gave us a noble example of what might be, effected in the wag. of reform there. The evils of the Court of Chancery have, besides this, been long, - very long, growing more and m ore noto rious—crying out for their own destruct ion trumpet tongued and in a thousand voices both within and w ithout the walls of Parliament. Beyond all which, new hopes are kindled. in the bosoms of those who have fallen into the clutches of this monster grievance by the elevation to the wohlsack of a legal iteformer like Sir Edward Sugden—perhaps the most profound and astute intellect that has ever shed its light through the gloomy intricacies of his profession. Last, but not least effectual of all the enemies of the Court of Chancery, comes Dickens, to whose gentle bat indebted, ed, g h et i t s iu s e umtohryoeity has already' fil been largely led to -the suppre " ss N io i n cho Yorkshire schools, ,and his tale a b o ut " Oliver as f N itchkeleby atrocious Twist" having in a great measure conduced to the amelioration of the sufferings of pauperism. Chapter the first, "In Chancery," constitutes of itself a caustic'-satire upon the evil to which its very title directs ettentiou....e). that Court of Chancery, ex .Clatries Mr. Dickens, in a burst of noble and wither ing eloquence--" which has its decaying houses and its blighr.ed lands in every shire ; which has its worn oat lunatic in every madhouse, and its dead in every churchyard ; which has its ruined suitor with hi s slipshod heels and threadbare dress, borrowing and begging through - the round of every man's acquaint ance ; which gives to moneyed might the means abun dandy of wearying out the right; which so exhausts finance:, patienee, courage, hope • so overthrows the brain and breaks the heart ; that there is not an honorable man among its practitioners who would not give—who does not often give —the warning, Suffer any wrong that can be done you, rather than come here ! " It is against this same, old, wicked greedy, implacable, and insatiate Court of ChanCery that "Bleak House" is directed in purpose ; it is upon it that the whole weight of its Censure through example is destined, we believe, to fall : and that the influence of the censure thus pro nounced will prove triumphant, we are persnaded, through the whole strength and earnestness of our belief in the vitality of its author's genius. Fur many. reasons, therefore, we hail the appearance of the present fietion'with peculiar and fervent satisfac tion. Bleak House, if itself not "in Chancery," has its principal inmates there—as may be understood by an inquiry into the great case of Jarndyce and Jarn dyce, the case still giving promise of being . ever lastingly perpetuated. How long it has already con tinued is mentioned by the author with this droll illustration The little plaintiff or de fendant," he . Sam "who was promised & new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jat:ndyce should be settled has grown up, poesessed hinieelf of a real horse, and trotted away inks the other world."

Exchange on London, 110 to 1104. Cotton was in good demand at steady prices. Sales on the 17th, 3,800 bales. Bread-stuffs firm, and in good demand; Indian corn dull. Provisions without change. Iron dull. Freights to London at firm rates. The failure of Carleton and Co., dry goods jobbers, of New York, it announced ; their liabilities are 700,000 dolls., and assets 140.000 dolls. Much indignation was manifested at Mobile while Cneva ier Hulseman, the Austrian Charge, was there; he was " charivaried" at his hotel by a large crowd, consisting mostly of Germans. From California we have advices to the 21st of January. The weather was fine, and both miners and farmers were in good spirits. The late rains and high waters had caused a cessation of mining in the rivers, but increased operations had taken place on the high land dry diggings, from which immense quantities of gold were being washed. Quartz mining was progre , sing favourably. Several valu able silver mines hod been discevered on the western boundary of Chihue, and en the eastern boundary of Sonora. Business in San Francisco was generally satisfactory. Exchange on London, 43, at 60 days' sight. Money was plentiful and obtainable on lower terms. No change worthy of notice in dry goods. The stock of all descriptions of hardware heavy, and the demand limited. The market was glutted with French and Malaga wines. Colonel Fremout's title to the Mariposa gold estate was resisted. The United States troops, who created so much disorder at Kingston, had been prevented from landing at Chagres. A difficulty occurred at Leon, on the 29th ult., be tween the Government party and the Picherigines, which resulted fatally to the latter. The Government were impressing citizens and mariners into their service. One third of the most populous section of San Juan de Nieutagua had been destroyed by fire oti the 4th iost.Lbut assistance was rendered by her Majesty's ship Express. The CJypso left San Juan on the 31st ult., and the Saranc' on the 23d tilt. The Supreme Government of the State of Hon durcs had issued a decree relative to the occupation of the Rio Romano by Sir James Green in her Ma jesty's ship Bermuda. The decree declares such pro ceedings outrageous and unlawful, and authorised the punishment of the aggressom Jamaica advices to the 10th inst. are unimportant. ( L ATEST BY TELEGRAPH.)

SCHOOL ATLAS OF GENERAL GEO GRAPHY. By Alexander Keith Johnston. Black wood and Sons. As a geographer, Mr. Johnston has long since acquired a very high and de serve d re putation. His ''National Atlas" alone would b e sufficient of itself to establish his fame, both in regard to the skill of his arrangement and the accuracy of his information. Besides that important work, however, others have proceeded from his hand in rapid succession, and not the least admirable the series of charts appended by him to the " History of Europe" by Mr. Alison. Those who have ever used the Maps of Mr. Johnston in illus tration of the annalist's ac co unt of battle or campaign, will bear the fact in remem brance with grateful sentiments such as can• not be very easily obliterated. In the volume here published by the Messrs. Blackwood he has concen trated, as it were in one focus, all the more conspicuous excellences hitherto deemed d,sirable in a school ;;atlas of general geography. Every plate is on a larger scale then those heretofore generally employed for purposes of education : consequently more is capable of being dis played to the student, and that, moreover, with a necessary increase of accuracy. Again—the facts recorded on the maps are in every instance, according even to the explicit announcement of the pxefaces "brought up to the time of p u bli cat i on :, Added to ' this, the colouring is throughout at once more vivid b e ing produced by a m ec h an i ca l process an ingenious arrangement the scholar ainnstuanidfoorby the fatigued hand and , is always enabled t o detect what a re the pos sessions dazzled. eye of a colourist. By of Great Britain—all our territories throughout the globe being painted red in the plates relating to either hemisphere. Various other advantages have been combined in the volume under notice, —such as those of a copious index, of a series of clear and com prehensible scales,, and of a difference of aspect between the two elements, land aid water—advantages which constitute the present the most complete and valuable " School Atlas " hitherto published, and one which cannot fail, it' adopted, to advance very mate rially the progress of popular education.

As a p reliminary to the stud y of the geologis', the cos mo g onist, the zoolo g ist, the botanist, the ichthyologist, the entomol og i st , and, above all, of the ethnologist--a book somewhat of this character is absolutely indispensable. It elucidates more clearly than any description whatsoever, whether written or oral, matters that unless mapped out would, to the youthful intellect, be utterly incompre hensible. In this manner, therefore, Mr. Johnston is a pioneer to some of the greatest philosophers of our ege. He prepares the mind of the student for the abstruse pages of Mrs. Somerville, for the luminous researches of Lyell, for the analytic discourses of Liebig, for the records of Murchison, for the argu ments of Latham, and for the lofty and sublime dis quisitions of Humboldt. Even to the educated adult, to those tolerably well versed in the more consider able among the physical sciences, the diffu sion ov e r the surface of the globe of certain attri butes or aspects of matter is ]table to fall into almost inextricabl e confusion, unless aided by some lucid and reliable guide, .such as that furnished by this volume of Mr. Johnston. In its eighteen plates are syste matically arranged all the most valuable statistics re lating to hydrology, to geology, to natural history, and to. meteorology. As a frontispiece we have dis played to us the elements of chartography, as well as of physical geography : and immediately afterwards are given charts of the ocean currents of the world— of the comparative sizes of the principal lakes of the globe—and o f the various ri ver s y stems in both he omhiasrpthseorefste . h Subsequently ie ;ire ranged in succession, charts plains, table-lands, and mountains. Three admirable plates afford an accu -1 ate and instantaneous notion of the distribution, if one may so call it, of the winds, the rains, and the temperature. Thereupon follow maps show ing the distribution of vegetable life, the dis tribution of animal life, the distribution of the various races of man, and last, but not by any means the most insignificant of bit these subjects, the distribution and extent of the different forms of reli gion. An aggregation of facts so inestimable as these, and an arrangement of those facts as lucid a s their variet y is apparently bewilderin g —i s , each, a task the ade quate accomplishment of which would of itself be sufficient to confer lasting honour upon a n y indivi dual. They have both be en e ff e cted by Mr. J ohnston on a grand :scale, in his m o r e costly wor k entitled " The Physical Atlas," an d t h e pith, the marrow, the quintessence of the wh o l e h as ag ain been giv en to the public by him, in a more p able to the price, a more genera ll - access ible form , as a minor atlas, compiled w ith art i cu lar view to the use of our intelligent semin a r P Upon the perfect wishes realization of all hisort a nd, in regard bt i i'S n this . respect we have reason here to proffer M r . Johnston o ur most cordial and most earnest congratulations. KING'S HEAD TAVERN P O ULTRI"..—The Te-open ing of this "ancient host e l ry ," under t h e auspices of t he new proprietors, Messrs.

He next stated that Mr. Sellw oo d h ad for fifteen year s been connected with the London Tavern, and that fact, he was sure, was a sufficient guarantee for the most unremitting atten tion to every department connected with the cuisine of the establishment. The tors started was, to suppl y the best of everything at the lowest possible prices, a n d : P ,n rin t c h i e p proprie lie congratulated Mr. Sellwood on the presence of the Sheriffs and tO many other kind friends, who thus testified the respect which they entertained for him personally.

(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDATS.) Sir. — On Friday the 27th Feb. the House met foir the - purpose of installing the Bread-. Taxers on the Ministerial benches, and doing 'other things towerds the Counter-Revolution which has been accomplished' here as in France. This comes of tossing up of caph upon partial success, and believing— that- there Si: thenceforth never to be a contest or an enemy agail. The same folly, if it had had its way, would have pi t the West Riding at this moment under the directions of -a French general of division. There were to be no more Protectionists, no more war, no more any thing we did not like ; and to this the interests of yoh and yours have been sacrificed, and many among yon may die of thin porridge before there is a chance Of the thing being set right again. There is no saying what may be in the chapter of accidents ; but the man is a simpleton whit trusts to that chapter. The great lesson of human life appears to be, that fore sight, prudence, energy, putting d own a danger twice sooner thanleave half of it to get up again, shall be the conditions of safety, and they who act other. wise shall be sure to suffer in the end. Like the French in the revolution of 1830, you have trusted to les habiles (the skilled men), and les habiles have let in the enemy again. It was clear, after the very first moves, that this was the course things were taking. It cannot have taken you by surprise, for ao far as one pen or voice could go, it has been dinned : into you till you were tire d of it. And now what will you do? If you should ask me for counsel, I will give it as fast as I know how. In the mean time, there only occurs to me a sailorts proverb, teo rough to be quoted in its original vigout. You must bear the consequences, with such contere lions of countenance as you may be unable to 11- strain, It is so proverbially easier to keep a bird w hen you have it, than to recover it after it has been let go, that it would be deceiving you to hold out any pteabing prospect. The same causes which have prevented your keeping Free Trade when you bad i t t, will act against your recovering it. There will be the same cry of " All will go well ; let things alone ; sit down and open your mouth, and ,see what. will ' drop into it;"—and in the end it will be" Who would have thought it?"' as it was before. It is very likely that at some time or other Tree‘Tradet . will carry the 'day ; but in the mean time lam afraid there must be another " siege of Bolton," another Test Hill at Brad ford, women and cbildrencrying in the streets, because the leaders whom public opinion raised to the power of carrying one victory, could not be persuaded to take the means of preventing your enemies' return ; because they were far too eager to divide the stock and go to rest under the shadow of their laurels , to be on their guard agaiust an able adversary, working day and night to recover his lost positions. Human his tory does not produce an of a great cause to wantonly end needlessly thrown back into the hands of its - opponents. I love distinctness, and hate insinuations. I there! , fore repeat. with deliberation, what it has been my endeavour to , impress upon you over and over while there was still time for action, that this cause has been lost or thrown into the dirt, because its supposed guardians in Parliament threw up their brief and declined defending it against the attacks of its opponents. They were doing every-thing except the one thing .needful they were sent to do. They were diverging into every scheme remote from this, which however it may agree with future ages of the world, was incompatible with the present. They would have no more war, no more fleets, no more armies, because they did not like them. They might as well have said -they would have no more surgery, no more cholera, no more hospitals, for the same rea son. They were thinking of Paper duties, Stamp duties, Window duties; anything but the defence of Free Trade, which was what they were sent to look after. And while they were snatching at these, they were letting fall out of their mouths the sub stantial mutton of your Free Trade, which it was their 'first business to hold. I repeat it yet again, that if the Protectionists bad been stuck to and answered in Parliament, as they might have been if those who had the freedom of the House bad attended to their business, there would have been as little chance of seeing what we now see, as of the little boys in your factories undertaking to call themselves the owners, and presenting themselves in that capa city in the Piece Hall.' On the meeting of the House on Friday, Sir James Graham took his seat on thee front bench of the Oppo sition side. One of the first proceedings was miffing 1 for , new writs for the boroughs vacated by the ac ceptors of office- some of which excited laug hter. There is in trut h something wonderful about the construction of.the thing called government. If you were to proceed in the same manner with a single one of your West Riding commercial eitabii,hments, certain ruin would be the result; what a wonderful instance therefore of the powers of nature, that directly the contrary should be the rule for the commerce of a nation ! For example, an individual of whom it is known that he has written novels, but not that he ever did a sum in rule of three inverse or found a mean proportional, is invested with the charge of the Exchequer, and pro posing the taxes which are to fill it. A Tory country magistrate, and they say a good one, is charged with the superintendence of all matters relating to your trade and foreign plantations ; on which probably the only point be has ever had feirly brought under his consideration, is that by putting an end to the foreign orders of the West Riding manufacturers he might raise the price of corn. And an active Chairman of Quarter Sessions is suddenly endowed with the care and ma nagement of fifty fractious Colonies.' There is no thing in the story-books half so ridiculous. And viewing it on the serious eide,—for there is a very serious one to you, whose bread this is all to take away,—it can be paralleled only by the event of the laet.attempt in France, where a party whose success would have been everywhere treated as a jest a few months before, was by the fact of everybody being found asleep wno ought to have resisted it, enabled to start in a course of retrogradation towards the bar barous ages, of which heeven only knows the termi nation. It was the English 2nd of December and counter-revolution; with the difference that the tactic in one case was audacity, and in the other pro crastination. One result, however, is clearly made out ; there can be no m ouths made hereafter, en the score of giving . office to extreme men. The member for the West Riding needs have no scruples about being made President of the Board of Trade when his turn comes. March upon that from this moment, and you will have done some good. The two first movements of the restored Govern ment were wonderfully characteristic ; a motion to issue a writ for Harwich, and a trumpet sounded for an attack on the Catholics through Maynooth. On the first of these, if a division had been gone to, there' seemed no reason why there should not have been a majority against the Ministry. But the timid and those who were for avoiding a Dissolution made a great noise, and so it was turned into a drawn battle by the withdrawal both of the amendment and the original motion. The attack upon Maynooth was conducted by those appeals to Heaven which are equally at the command of well-meaning men of -all sects, and declarations of the impossibility that a con scientious man should see a religious opponent taking any- share of what is contributed by all. There are plainly two movements going on ; a House of Com mons InF vement which is the real and substantial one, and a movement in another plac e, which ma y turnput the most perilous to you of the two. The declaration of the Prime Minister in that other place,isairobably the most dang erous to y ou that could have 3een devised. It is precisely the thing to produce to you the maximum of peril. It is just the thing to rally against you all the elements of inactivity, delay,and comproinise. In all contests it is an excellent quality . 'to be able to judge of the talent displayed in the op posite ranks ; and it is quite of the . school which has just lost you the game for the present, to shut the ee es to an adversa r y ' s knowledge of his weappns. The Prime Minister talks of articles which " admi! or do not admit the expenditure of British labour. The point lie means to maintain, 'is that West Riding labour labour is not. British labour; or-at least so neuhc.or o f it as goes' for; foreign orders.' He avows his t i e s t y o to be the American one; an d the American one , f put down such foreign exports es go in return or anything which a man at home offers to t m of ak t e ho de o a o r n er . .and worse,- taking the difference .ou 0.. er guar. sumer's pock. 4 without balance al i e n tn maker of the ters, and calling the pin dearer end worse, the -" incidehnotfar gain to the com mence!)

Master attendant's jetty, had a narr ow escape from being destroyed by fire on Thursday. Previous to lea, log. the people observed a quantity of smoke issuing from the engine-room, and immediately resorting to the , tall supply of water which is constantly kept on deck, ' the shipwrights, engineers; and ' others, amounting to . ',ixty, engaged on the vessel, soon extinguished the fire, which occurred in the engine-room, whore there is 0. forge, from which it is supposed a spark must have been sent among some carpenter 'a shavings or oakum. The only injury done was the partial burning of a temporary platform used by the artisans in the engine-room. The Sanspareil has been valued at 400,0001. A very careful inquiry was instituted on Friday by Commodore guper intendent Sir Michael Seymour, before himself- and the principal officers of the department. The minutes were transmitted to the Lords of the Admiralty. The Government hired merchant-ship Woodbridge, Captain Coppell, which arrived here on Thursday from Singapore, sailed this morning for London. She left Singapere on the let of October with a cargo of anti monian ore, Gambia sago, nutmegs, allspice, &c., aa4 block tin from the East India Company's mines at Banca, and brought passengers—Lieutenant Hickley, Dr. Pottinger, Mr. M'Causland, master; Mr. Goldsack, second engineer; Mr. Smith, clerk; the gunner, boat swain, and 61 men belonging to her Majesty's steamer Reynard, Captain Cracroft, lost on the Patras shoals on the 21st of May; also Mr.' Edwards, mate; Mr. May, master's assistant; and Mr. Hisham, cadet, lately be longing to the China fleet. On the 29th of October, while the hands were aloft sending down yards and top masts, the maintopmast and two topgallantmasts were carried away; 'Charles Hotchkings and Philip Playle were killed, and six others of the Wood 'bridge's orew disabled. On this occasion the Reynard's hands rendered valuable assistance in clearing away the wreck. On the.6th -of November she sprung her main mast, which was fished, and when near the Cape, wearing the ship, the maintopgallantmast fell and took the main topmast head with it. On arriving at the Cape an al teration was made in the stowage of the cargo, which at Singapre was arranged for the accommodation of pas sengers. This alteration prevented much of her rolling afterwards. .Yesterday Captain Cracroft mustered the Reynard's crew on board the Woodbridge, expressed his approval of their conduct on the passage home, and stated that the Lords of the Admiralty had determined to give them full pay up to the present period. Cheers anduounter cheers were heartily exchanged on their leaving theWoodbridge, the commander of which received from 180 passengers whom he landed at Adelaide on his outward voyage a written acknowledgment of their approval of his conduct as a ►kilful navigator and caretul master.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CLXX VIII. ODDS AND ENDS FROM LIVERPOOL, &e. SIR, -s -My remarks on the Sutton Steeplechase were nearly verified to the letter, as Young Lottery, whom I took to win, - cleared the Judge's chair first with the greatest ease by three lengths. The General, whom 1 plaPed second, would have obtained that position had he not come in content with a tree, by which Laud was un horsed, and his chance of victory, completely annihilated. Buscot, whom I placed third, was fourth. My latest advices from Liverpool state, that notwith standinF the aqueous condition bf the eleisents, the course in inept parts is 'in capital condi tion. The running ground is over the usual course, and, consequently, it must not be forgotten that the winner of the 'steeplechase will have -to traverse four miles and three furlongs of ground before , he will be deCared as such. Boxes have been engage d for between forty and fifty horses, of whom the following have al rea d y arr i ve d, or w ill b e there in the coarse of the day Lamely:—La Gazza Ladra, Dolly s Brae, Si;Jobe, Chieftain, Bourton, Silent Friend, ' Victress, Cogie, and Hardwick, for the Steeplechase ; fillya wa d hb S ir.y u e ercp, Charles severalB f i t h he, others fi S i ly r i b n f oy g r T C t hh d ee p s c;Br Libel,aat nrrbi Abbess of Jervaux, True Girl, Zelmyra filly, Snowdrop, lA st e e lHi r a . nan : d.i i dea d e o pi w 4 filly by Jereed, an d two or three •cehers for the Trial and Optional Selling Stakes.
