NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE SNOW STORM. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I.—The announcement in Satur day's paper of the arrival of his Majesty's ships Thunderer and Edinburgh at Falmouth was premature, and arose from the circumstance of the packet with the Mediterra nean mail falling in with them off Gibraltar, on the 17th of December, and bringing letters from them addressed to persons at this port, which were put into the Post-office at Falmouth. They cannot, however, be very distant, and most probably are now at the entrance of the Channel. his Majesty's ship Vernon, Captain M'Kcelie, was lying at Malta, unrigged, with everything taken out of her, waiting orders from England. This ship, which cost such an immense sum in building and fitting, it is reported is wholly affected with the dry rot. It is not to be wondered at, when we consider the hasty manner in which she was constructed. HATTON-GARDEN. James Wyatt and Wm. tVarren were charged with having stolen a quantity of timber, the property of Mr. Glenn, Liverpool -terrace, Islington. The prosecutor, it appeared, is erecting a number of houses adjacent to his own, and of late his losses had been very extensive, by depredations committed during the night time in those buildings. Having communicated that fact to the superintendent of police in the district, Serjeant Millichap, 6 N, was ordered to render him every assist ance, and that officer, while keeping watch, between ten and eleven o'clock the night before, saw the prisoners re moving from the unfinished premises a number of deal planks, &c. The Magistrate remanded the prisoners, in order that the, officer might endeavour to collect further evidence against them.

We still continue to have a very fair demand for Cotton, and prices have been fully supported for all kinds throughout the week. Further arrivals of new Boweds having been suspended by adverse winds, those at present on the market are going off at better prices, and Egyptian is rather dearer. Speculators have taken 150 Surats. 1,000 Americans, and 50 Maranhams, and exporters nothing. 3,60 0 Americans, 250 Carthagenas, 100 Pernams, 200 Bahias, and 150 Egyptians have been forwarded into the country this month unsold.

The Corn wallis, 74, Capt. Sir Joshua Rowley, '.dart., is ordered from Lisbon. The Thunderer and Edinburgh were at Gil-raltar on the 16. th instant, and were to touch at Lisbon for the , purpose of transferring their Royal Marines to Sir William' t:f.'N's squadron, should the Rear-Admiral consider it desirable t' strengthen this doscription of force on that station. The Thunderer would then proceed to Plymouth, to be paid off, and the Edinburgh, with the company of Royal Marine Artillery on board, to this port. The Inconstant, 36, Capt. Pring, sailed on Monday from Plymouth, for the coast of Spain, and the Speedy cutter on Thursday, for the same destination. The Snake, 16, has been commissioned at Chatham, by Commander Alex. Milne ; the Scylla, 18, at Plymouth, by Commander the Hon. Joseph Denman ; and the Trinculo, 16, also at Plymouth, by Commander Henry E. Coffin. The Messenger steamer proceeded to-day to Plymouth, to be permanently kept there as a tug-boat for that har bour. The Pluto steamer is also ordered to this port, to be solely employed in local matters. It is somewhat surprising that this arrangement has not been earlier adopted. The Sarearang, 28, Captain Broughton, will proceed to Sp thead in a few days ; her destination is believed to be South America. The Atholl, troop-ship, sailed on Tuesday for Cork, As cension, and the Cape of Good Hope. She takes out stores for Ascension, and 10,000/. to the Cape. 'The Carysfort, '26, Captain Martin, is expected at Spit head shortly, on her way to the Mediterranean. The Confiance steamer is in this harbour, bound to Fal mouth, to convey the next Malta mail, but having been in jured in her quarter bulwarks and stern by a ship running aboard of her in the River Thames, it will be Monday or Tuesday before she can proceed. The Echo steamer, bound to the West Indies, was com pelled to put into Lisbon by the severe westerly gales ; when the last packet came away she was about to proceed to her destination. The North Star, Pelorus, and Pantaloon were taken out of dock on Tuesday, and the Brisk was taken into dock ; the latter is intended for service on the coast of Africa. _ The crews of the Fairy and Mastiff surveying vessels have this week been brought to this port from the River by the Messenger steamer, to fit out the Ariadne (intended as a coal depot at Alexandria), and proceed with her to Leith, where she is to take in her cargo of coals. The crew of the Princess Charlotte, bound to Hobart Town, with convict boys, having reported the ship unsea worthy for such a lengthened voyage, Admiral Sir Frede rick Maitland has directed a careful survey to be made of her condition by two officers of the dockyard, and upon their report will depend whether she is to proceed. At Spithead—Wolverine, Princess Charlotte convict ship. In Harbour—Britannia, Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Samarang, Pantaloon, and Seaflower. PROMOTIONS AED APPOINTMENTS—Lieut. S. 'G.

We have accounts from Rio Janeiro, which state that from the Ist of January to the 14th of Dec., the ex ports of coffee had been 533,832 bags, against 467,824 in 1835. The new crop was considered two months behind its usuallime. FIRE IN MAY-FAIR AND Loss OF LIFE.— About a quarter before three o'clock in the morning of yesterday (New Year's Day) a disastrous fire, accompanied by the destruction of life, broke out in the upper part of No. 4, Chapel-street West, the house of a lady named Avens, being the last in the row of houses which form the western side of the quadrangle round Curzon Chapel, May fair. It is understood that the fire originated from the in discretion of one of the inmates, a gentleman lodging in the house, who sat up reading very late, and his candle by some accident ignited the furniture of his room. The flames burst out with great violence and raged furiously, threaten ing at one time to destroy the entire row ; but, providen tially, the wind being northerly, was in a direction to keep the fire off from the other and northers houses of the street. The fire was very nearly, if not entirely, confined to the house in which it broke out, the party wall between it and No. 3 being very strong. But we have to state the melan choly fact, that a young servant girl, about 15 or 16 years old, was burnt to death in the house, and about halt-past ten in the morning her body was found amonc , the ruins of the attic floor, which, with the roof and part of' the second floor, had fallen in upon the first floor. So great was the alarm, that the Hon. Miss Brande, who resides at No. 2, and who is in an ill state of health, was instantly removed by her servants to Chesterfield-street, the house of her re lative, Lord Deere, who came to Chapel-street several times to observe the progress of the flames. Property was moved from the other houses in the street ; and the family of Mr, Holloway, the wine merchant, took shelter at a friend's in the neighbourhood. Dr. Wilson, of 39, Curzon -street, the adjoining house to Chapel-street West, thought it prudent to remove the ladies of his family to a house a few doors off ; but we believe they returned in the course of the night. Mrs. Lane Fox was much alarmed for the safety of her father, Mr. Bulkeley ; the back of her house in Curzon street, in which part his bed-room is, nearly adjoining the rear of the house in Chapel-street, where the fire was. This lady, at such an unseasonable hour, and in the incle ment state of the weather, went herself, through the snow to ascertain the direction the flames were taking, and to obtain admission for her father at Sir Henry Halford's, on the opposite side of Curzon-street, should it ultimately be necessary to remove Mr. Bulkeley from her house, which happily was not the case. Several gentlemen lodging in the neighbourhood gave active assistance in working the engines until a sufficient number of police and firemen ar 9 1 , 0 flames were completely subdued between five -^i^g. The house was insured in the County and the furniture, &.c., in the Proteeter 011iee. The regularity of communication from Ireland and Wales through Shrewsbury, to London, has this week been slightly delayed by an obstacle as remarkable as its rare. On Saturday it was announced by London papers, that snow storms elsewhere were impeding communication ; and on Sunday we received a partial visitation in the fall of a slight storm of snow, and delay of the mail from Lon don for upwards of three hours. On next mail-day (Tuesday) no coach arrived, and the Welsh, the Che shire, and all the surrounding posts were delayed to await its arrival. Wednesday passed over without the arrival of a mail till midnight, when the Holyhead Mail reached Shrewsbury, and put an end to the excessive suspense in which the inhabitants were held for the preceding days. The Ludlow Mail to Bishop's Castle did not arrive on Tuesday, nor Wednesday, till two on Thursday morning. A gentleman having the misfortune to be a passenger in the Shrewsbury and Holyhead Mail, has given us the fol lowing detail of his adventures, during a journey of fifty two miles from London to Shrewsbury. lie started on Monday night at the usual hour, the mail proceeding un dc. a storm of snow, to within three quarters of a mile of St. Alban's, and nearly an hour was lost in going that dis tance. At St. Alban's the Shrewsbury and Holyhead mail found several coaches and mails, the passengers by which wen determined net to proceed, the coaches being h covered with snow, and the mail-bags removed. The of the Holyhead mail, however having ascer tained that his passengers were not unwilling to risk the journey, set off from St. Alban's with six horses, followed closely; by " The Bruce," Manchester coach ; and having forced their way through several feet of snow, they reached the bottom of the descent from St. Alban's, where they found themselves completely enguiphed, the snow being drifted several feet above the mail-bags, piled on the top of the coach. To return to St. Alban's now became impossible, and the guards having supplied themselves with all the comforts the passengers could lend from their stores, took up their watch, blun derbuss in hand, over the mail-bags, till Providence . should send them relief. Meantime the passengers were making the best of their way, in the mail-track, back to " The Bruce," about 100 yards behind then,' the gen tlemen gallantly carrying by turns, the hapless ladies, whose heads were considerably under the snow, when not exalted on their deliverers' shoulders. In this plight they all forced their way in safety, about one in the morning, to the Pea Hen, at St. Alban's, where they :found the pas sengers, guards, and coachmen of three mails and four stage coaches already in possession of the premises, and were glad to receive the accommodation of a chair by the fire-side in safety, after their toils. Several hundred hands meantime were employed by turns in clearing the road, and at noon on Tuesday they succeeded :in rendering it passable. The Shrewsbury mai,l with its associates, then started, and with great labour reached Daventry by ten at night, where all further progress was ended by the impassable state of the roads. Next morning at nine, another attempt , was made to get onwards with six horses, and a mile and a half was travelled with vast labour. Near the turnpike gate two horses were taken from the Liverpool;mail, which ran in the rear of the Shrewsbury mail, and yoked on be fore the six already dragging our mail, when suddenly the bars of the coach snapped, and the six leading horses bounded into the snow, leaving the mail and the two wheelers in the midst of the drift! In this plight they remained till fresh bars, &c. were brought from the town of Daventry ; and the horses being re-attached, they ex tricated themselves from their perils, and proceeded on wards to Coventry, keeping the horses' heads above the drift by riding on the footpaths, and having men in every deep spot, scattering the snow, which in many places reached some feet higher than the roof of the coach, though in the adjoinings fields not a foot of snow covered the soil. At Coventry the road became comparatively clear, and the Shrewsbury and Holyhead mail, which kept the lead of all the other vehicles, was greeted all along the road by the cheers and welcome of the inhabitants. At nine minutes before midnight on Wednesday night this mail coach arrived at the Lion-yard in this town : having con sumed fifty-two hours in the performance of this desperate journey, which the Wonder coach had formerly rattled over in twelve hours.—Shrewsbury Chronicle of Dec. 30. All the mails due on Saturday morning arrived in the course of the day. The Edinburgh mail-bags were the last received, and were brought up in a postchaise and four from Newcastle, where the coach was obliged to be left. The bags reached the Post-office at eight o'clock at night. Several of the mails which arrived:late on Saturday af ternoon cduid not be sorted in time for delivery that night, but it was announced that letters brought by mails not delivered up to ten o'clock on Sunday morning might be had on application at the window of the Post-office between ten and two o'clock in the day. None of the north-country coaches had been able to get beyond Newcastle on their way to town. The snow is reported to be cut through on the lines of road, so that traffic, it is hoped, will be generally resumed. The snow has mostly consolidated into an ice-like state, and is not likely to be affected by storms, so as to form into drifts afresh. There does not appear to have been any heavy and extensive fall of snow since Sunday week, except on the Yar mouth and Ipswich roads, where the guards who arrived on Saturday night report a fresh fall of about a foot in depth. The guards all describe the cold as beyond anything they had experienced for years. A gentleman who left Sheffield by the Hope coach of Sunday week reports the coach did not complete its journey till Saturday afternoon. Between Nottingham and Mansfield, close by the forest, they came up with three coaches blocked in the snow. There was only a labourer's cottage for miles around, in which the passengers had sought shelter. It was a place with only one chamber above, and where ginger-beer and cakes were sold. In all sixteen passengers were as sembled here, with a prospect of staying •several days. Fortunately a pig had just been killed by the cottager!, so that the supply of meat was good, there was scarcely any bread in the house or hope of getting it. At places around the snow was lying nine feet deep. The Hope left Mans field with eight horses, and was driven into Nottingham with ten. At one place they picked up a poor boy nearly perished with cold. The boy was got up by a gentleman . . jumping down behind while the coach was still moving, for the coachman declared he could not come to a dead stop, as if he did he should not be able to get the wheels in motion afterwards. The Dover mail bags were sent out on Saturday night by a steamer, which had orders to touch and leave bags at Margate and Ramsgate. All the mail coaches due yesterday morning got in with comparatively little difficulty. The latest arrival was the Glasgow, which got in at half past three o'clock in the afternoon. The Exeter, the Leeds, and the Liverpool, due on Saturday night, came in during the night. As usual, none brought bags except Government despatches, or those bags of mails previously due which amid the confusion were left behind. The mail coaches were all started at seven o'clock last night, but took out no bags. The Dover land mail, which came in yesterday, had only reached Canterbury on the outward journey, and had thence sent the mail-bags on horseback, with instructions to spare no expense in making the remaining distance. The result, of course, cannot yet be known in town. At midnight on Friday a mail- g uard was sent out from London by the Dart steamer, with instructions to touch at Margate and Ramsgate, and there leave the bags for those places, and that for Dover, which was to be carried for ward by land, and from Ramsgate to proceed himself direct for Calais in the steamer. The passage to Ramsgate was most stormy. The Captain was unable to put in at Margate, and only after great difficulty got in at Ramsgate at half past ten o'clock on Saturday morning. It was then blowing a perfect hurricane, and the Captain refused to go onward to Calais. On Saturday night the Lord Melville came in, having been from Thursday night making the voyage from London to Ramsgate. Yesterday morning, the passengers by the Melville having been transferred to the Dart, the Captain of the latter agreed to make the at tempt to get into Boulogne, the harbour of Calais being still deemed impracticable. The bags were accordingly sent on by the Dart, and the guard, returning to London by the Lord Melville, reached the Custom House by half past six o'clock last night. The guard reports that coming up the river yesterday nothing was to be heard of but vessels sunk or ashore. There had been a fresh fall of snow between Canter bury and Dover, and the roads were again blocked. The provincial papers tire full of accounts of the preva lence and effects of the snow in all parts of the kingdom. The particulars they give, however, do not present any features, of interest, further than that, during the storm, there has been almost an entire stoppage of com munication between the different districts, 119 between the country and the metropolis.

The man who gave his name William Covent?), was re examined on the charge of robbing Mr. Newenham, of Belgrave-square, of two notes—one for 100/. and the other for 50/. The prosecutor was robbed of the property while looking at a picture-shop in Piccadilly. It was now proved that the prisoner, on the evening of the robbery, went into the shop of Mr. Thompson, pawnbroker, in Grosvenor row, Pimlico, accompanied by a female, and purchased a watch and appendages for 81. 18s. 6d. He said he had been very lucky, as a rich uncle had died, leaving him a large sum of money and thirty houses. He tendered the 100/. note, and received the change, giving his name Wil liam Dunn. The other note was passed by the prisoner at the shop of Mr. Collings, in Lower Sloane-street, Chelsea, where he said that he had received it as a legacy from his aunt. The prisoner, in defence, said his wife, who was in the habit of selling articles in the street, had found the notes. Ile was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROMARLBOROUGH-STREET. David W. Jobson was charged with having committed a violent assault on Mr. Stocker, of Regent-street. Inspector Beresford, of the C division, stated that a few minutes before Mr. Stocker came to the station-house, and exhibited two wounds on his Lead, and one on his lip, which he said had just been inflicted by the defendant, at whose lodgings, No. 89, Quadrant, he had called for payment of an account. Mr. Stocker was unable to attend in conse quence-of the injuries inflicted on him. In answer to the charge, the defendant stated that he was aware that he hail acted with too much impetuosity, but he had met with great provocation, the plaintiff having forced his way into his apartment, and struck him a blow in the face. The defendant was ordered to find bail—two sureties in 00/. each. HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER. Since Wednesday last the greatest excitement has pre vailed in the western portion of the metroplis in conse quence of the discovery of the trunk of a human body, under circumstances which leave no doubt of the commit tal of a most barbarous and horrid murder. On Saturday morning an inquest was appointed to be held. The following is the evidence of the medical de ponents :—Mr. Girdwood, surgeon, of No. 148, Edgware road, previous to ()icing his evidence, observed that, as the Inquest had not been held for several days after the find ing of the body, he had suggested to the Churchwardens the propriety of having the body examined internally. That had been done, in the presence of several other surgeons, and he was, in consequence, enabled to give such evidence on the subject, as he otherwise could not have done. He then read the following from a paper which he held in his hand :—" On the afternoon of Wednesday last, I was called to see the remains ; I found them in the dead-house at the poor-house ; the body was tied round with a cord, binding the arms flat across the abdomen, squeezing them deep upon the surface, and in this manlier it was stuffed into a bag ; the bag was very dirty, and of a very coarse texture, not closely stitched together at the edges : there were shreds of wood shavings clinging to the ragged edge of the seams, principally mahogany, and the bag was much saturated with blood at its lower part : on measuring the trunk, its length, from the posterior spinous process of the seven cerrica vertebrae to the point of the coccyx, is 24 inches ; in front, measured from the superior edge of the sternum to the inferior edge of the symphrsis pubig, is 21 inches ; the skin is fair, and a considerable layer of fat exists under it throughout ; there is an unusually small quantity of hair, of a light colour, on parts where it is usually abundant : the parts in question want their usual development ; there is a slight acchymesis, about the size of a pin's head, on the right labium ; the breasts are somewhat corrugated on the surface, the skin not now being so much distended over them by the plumpness beneath, as at an earlier period of life it mnst have been ; there is no hair on the oxilla ; there is not the development of the nipple, nor are there the streated marks on the surface of the abdomen, nor does there exist any separation of the recti muscle, indicative of the female having ever been pregnant ; the hand is a full woman's size, and dirty ; there is no mark of needlework on the left fore finger ; the mark of a ring exists on the left ring-finger ; the nails of the fingers of both hands are blue towards the tips ; the left, however, has to that superadded on all four a red streak, immediately beyond the union of the nail with the flesh ; the muscles of the arms were rigidly contracted ; the length of the arm, measured from the acromion point to the tip of the middle finger, is 30 inches ; there are no marks of violence on the body, excepting on the right side of the ab domen two inches above the groin, there exists a super ficial cut in a slanting direction, removing the skin an inch and a half. The head is severed from the trunk anteriorly, about three inches above the sternum. The fifth conical vertebra is sawn through, leaving only about the tenth of an inch of that bone. The legs are cut off immediately under the hip joint ; the cut does not present a ragged appearance. The thigh-bone on both sides, about an inch under the trochanter, is sawn through from within, out wardly half through, and then broken off. A superficial cut on the left thigh running for three inches parallel to and about one inch distant from the one that removes the limbs. A similar cut exists on the right side of the skin of the neck. On opening the body, the viscera pre sented generally this remarkable appearance—they were completely ensanguinated—no congestion in the lungs—no coagula in the heart—no blood flowed, nor were there any bleeding points in the liver or the spleen when cut into. All these organs presented a healthy appearance, ex cepting one or two points of adhesion were observed on the pleura, the result •of some long proceeding inflam matory action. There was no effusion in its cavity. The stomach was about a third part filled with fluid, and half digested matter. In the smaller bowels was a considerable quantity of the saltaceous matter, called chyme, and from them would be traced, proceeding along the mysentery, the lacteal vessels, filled with chyle. The surface of this portion of the intestinal canal, had a slight purplish blush on its outer surface, and there was scattered over it small dark purple spots, termed ecchy moses. The gullet presented internally a healthy appearance ; the bladder was void of urine, and rigidly contracted. Our attention was now ar rested by the remarkable fact that this female had no uterus. The vagina was about two inches long, and terminated in a cul de sac, having a slightly puckered appearance, where ought to have existed the osceteri, the oviceries existed in a fold of the peritoneum, on each side on the brim of the pelvis. The frimbrated extremities of the fallopian tubes were not loose, but were matted down to the peritoneum, and tracing their course downwards into the basin of the pelvis, they were found to be joined behind the bladder by the round ligaments of either side proceeding in their usual course from the inguinal ring ; and the point of junction of those four ligaments was indicated by a slight fullness, and puckered, flat, longitudinal, and occupying the natural posi tion of the uterus. A gentleman begged to be allowed to put a question to Mr. Girdwood as to whether or not the deceased had, in his opinion, borne a child. Witness—She never had borne one. Dr. Hunter Lane, of No. 37, Euston-square, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence, &c., at the Hunterian School of Medicine, sworn.—The stomach received from Mr. Gird wood, through Mr. Guy, I opened, and found to contain a quantity of meat not changed by digestion, as also a quantity of vegetable food, as potatoes and pastry, which were par tially digested ; the contents were marked by a spirituous smell ; the stomach itself was in all respects healthy, but in the part near to the gullet a redness was observable ; this appearance was not sufficient in any way to explain the cause of the death, as it was in all probability attributable to the condition of the organ necessary to the process of digestion, which at the time of death must have been pro ceeding ; I subjected the contents to analysis, and found no proofs of any poison. r" was not in such quantity as to have caused d - • thereforp 4, I arri . mom th- After two other witnesses were exatolued, the Coroner addressed the Jury, " You have," he. said, " had a great deal of evidence brought before you, more especially me dical evidence, in which the medical gentlemen have given it as their opinion that the deceased did not die of natural disease, and also that her throat had been cut before depth. or immediately afterwards, and then the head_ had en. off in the manner you have seen. I will have the whole of the evidence read over to you, if you with it ; but, if you are of opinion that her throat has beet , cut beforr death, that would of course be murder by some person f whom you have no trace. If, on the contrary, you I.lti , she died from natural causes, you will returr. such an op. nion accordingly. The weight of medical evidence is, how ever, to the effect that, if her threl-t bad been cut after death, the body would not have been drained of blood in' the manner you have heard stated. It does not appear en! the deceased was intoxicated. HoW the mutilations oc curred which you have seen is enveloped in darkness ; and if you return a verdict of wilful murder against some pe. son or persons unknown, it will not interfere with th course of justice, should any person at any time be brought forward, charged with having been concerned in this hor rible affair, as the Magistrates have the power of commit ting hini for trial at the Central Criminal Court, should they see fit. Now, gentlemen, consider your verdict." The Jury then retired to the further end of the room, and, after consulting together, unanimously returned a vet-- diet of " Wilful Murder against some per: on or persons unknown." The inquiry occupied upwards of seven boars. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We alluded on Saturday to the representation of the county of Anglesey, which Sir R. Bulkeley has declared his intention to resign. In another column will be found the ad dress which Mr. Fuller Meyrick, a high Tory, has already issued. It is to be regretted that the Reformers are not in the field as soon as the Tories, for we are assured if they only bestir themselves they may easily beat their opponents. Sir R. Bulkeley has a large estate and possesses much influence in the county, and rumour says that he will not support Mr. Meyrick. Lord Dinorben has a large estate, and the Marquess of Anglesey a still larger. Sir John Stanley, of Alderley, in Cheshire, has also a large estate in Anglesey. Besides these there are many small landed proprietors strongly attached to Reform principles. We stated on Saturday that Colorol James Hughes, brother of Lord Dinorben, and one of the Pagets, were spoken of ; but we are not awaie that either of them has yet come forward. Though the Tories have been suffered to be first in the field, we are assured that the victory will be easy if the Reformers only do their duty.--Mornin Chronicle. New York papers to the Bth of Dedmber inclusive reacbc us last night. They contain the Message of the President Congress, on Tuesday, the 6th .of December, the Senate the Huse of Representatives having assembled on the p vieus day. Neither our space, nor time at the hour when received it, permit us to enter into a detailed investigation its contents—we shall do so to-morrow. For the present quit the subject with a glance at some of its more promin( and important features. These may be briefly recapitulate The army is to be inereased,.and its pay augmented. T duties on imports are to be reduced, until the amount deriv, from them do not exceed the expenses of the Federal Gover ment. Au important change is to be made in the prose mode of disposal of the public lands. Of one of the results 0. the large and accumulating funds produced from this source, the Government of the United States may well be proud. There is wsurplus in the annual revenue of more than one half. This fact ought to make the financial roues of worn-out Europe blush—if they can blush. It is sufficient to make the crazy, debt-incumbered Governments of the old world totter to their foundations.—Morning Advertiser. BRIGHTON. FRIDAY.--The Hon. Mrs. Greville will entertain a dis tinguished party this evening, and every night next week is filled up for fashionable parties. Owing to the severe and unprecedented snow storm, we have no fashionable news to communicate. Business has been almost entirely suspended all the week. Scarcely a single equipage has been seen in the streets, and all fashion able parties have seen postponed. Al! communication with other important towns, except the metropolis, is cut off. We have heard nothing from Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, or Chichester up to the hour we are writing (one o'clock), and we fear that we shall have yet to lea: of sad disasters. Heaps of snow are still Viing in the streets, and at this moment one hundred men are employed within the ma t e of one hundred yards in North -street, to clear the road. All the coaches continue to leave this town for London with six horses, but we are informed that the passage from this place to - Crawley is now free. We are happy to state that their Majesties continue in the enjoyment of good health. There has not• been a single dinner party at the Palace all the week. Lord Glenelg went to town yesterday. His Mgesty is now sitting to Sir David Wilkie for his portrait. The Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's have been exceed ingly charitable to the poor since the inclement weather has set in. SIINDAY.—The Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, attended Divine Service in the Palace Chapel. The Rev. Mr. Wood was the De puty Clerk of the Closet in Waiting, and the Countess of Sheffield was the Lady in Waiting. Prayers were read by the Rev. H. M. Wagner, assisted by the Rev. D. Eve rard and the Bishop of Worcester. The latter preached Psalm 103, verse 15—" As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth." The choir sang Boys' service in A, and an anthem by Dr. Tye, from the 119th Psalm. Yesterday his Majesty honoured Sir David Wilkie with another sitting for his portrait. This being New Year's Day, the calls at the Palace of the Nobility and gentry, to pay their respects to their Ma jesties, were very numerous, including Lieut.-General Sir William, Lady, and Miss Pringle, Lady and the Misses Stewart, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Bradford, Sir John and Lady Brooke Pechell, Rear-Admiral Sir J. and Lady Rodd, Earl and Countess of Ross and Lady A. Parsons, Sir A. and Lady Christie, Dowager Lady Ellenborough and Miss Law s Lord and Lady Howard of Effingham, Lord and Lady Colchester, Lucy Countess of Wintertoa and Lady C.
