THE LATE STOTtIVI-AIiRIVAI , OF THE MAILS. Notwithstanding that more than a week has elapsed since the commencement of the thaw, the arrival of ill() mails still continues to be impeded by the effects of the heavy snow, which are variously felt on different roads, and even at different parts of the same line of road. It was ten o'clock yesterday beiare all the mails had arrived, and there was obliged to be a second delivery at two o'clock w. in the afternoon, of which a notice was exhibited in the hall of the General Post-office. Along the northern roads there still reoain considerable ; accumulations of snow at places. The guat . d of the Glas gow mail says that about Stamford, for three wiles, where the road had been cut through, the wall of snow, whe.n he passed on his up journey, on Sunday night, was four feet - high on either side. During the day the combined effects of the thaw, and of the occasional heat of the sun caused the snow to fall in at places, and as during the past two ' nights there had been :7harp frosts, the high grounds were • found excessively slippery. In the hollows the roads were • heavy with slush and mud. The worst part of the road was between Grantham and Stamford. At other places the land was flooded ; between Orkinbury and Bugden, as far as the eye can reach, the land is covered with water— some parts of the road arc up to the horses' bellies. At least one thousand acres at this part alone are ceYered by one wide waste of water. The guard of the Lincoln and Hull makes the setae ge neral complaints. Where the snow had been beaten down and congealed into a temporarily solid road, it still coati. ntos of a depth of from seven to eight inches of solid ice, and what melts during the day, draining into the hollows, leaves the high open country, when the night frosts come on dangerously slippery. It is difficult to keep the horses ea their legs. At, Peterborough the waters are out to a great eatent. No. 13,828. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1837 PRICE sd.

The waters are also much out at Northampton and llun tington ; indeed, the remark may generally be made that the rivers Nene and Ouse are overflowing their banks in most parts of their respective courses. This overflowing is, however, common to both streams' after heavy rains, and the extent to which it has now gone beyond its usual limits does not appear from present re ports to have caused any great damage ; fei the farmers had mostly removed their flocks to the uplands, well aware of what would follow on the commencement of a thaw.

A re s p ec t a b le Youth wanteddirectly as an Apprentice. 3. To the coasting trade and all vessels requiring a speedy delivery of their cargoes. The principal feature in this undertaking is the discharge of coals by machinery on the wharfs into one or two ton boxes, and conveying them to the cellar of the consumer without either change or breakage, or into barges alongside, and towing them to their respective destinations by steam tugs, in strings of a number at a time. Thus the interests of the merchants and tho consumers in all parts of London will be consulted—tho shipowner will have his vessel afloat in the stream, without obstructing or impeding tho navigation—the intentions of the Legislature (contained in the Reports of the Navigation of the River Thames, and on the Coal Trade) in clearing the Pool not only of the colliers, but of the straggling barges, will be most completely carried out—and the construction of collier or steam docks (the impracticability and inconvenience of which have been fully established) will be ob viated, no compulsory clause will be required, and the discharge of the coals can be effected without any additional expense, and at a great saving in point of time to the coal and shipowners. The estimated revenue has been calculated on data from Custom house and Parliamentary documents, and shows a largo remunerat. ing profit to the shareholders. Resolutions in favour of the measure have been passed by the colliery and ship owners of the north of England, and by the town council of Newcastle. The Committee, therefore, recommend it with confidence to the public, on account of its importance as a great national work, its certainty of profit to the shareholder, and from the substantial sup port it has already received. The plans, sections, and books of reference have been deposited with the clerks of the peace and parish clerks--notices have been given to the •wners and occupiers—and the standing orders have been complied with to obtain an Act of Incorporation in the neat Session.

A meeting of the operatives was held at Hanley, in the Potteries, on the 28th of December, at which upwards of 40 delegates, from various manufacturing towns, attended to inquire into the merits of the dispute between the opera tives and the master potters. The delegates having heard the statement of the operatives, waited on the masters to pro pose a conference between them and their workmen, at which the delegates should be pr9sent. The masters agreed and the conference took place, but was not attended with any satisfactory result. The delegates held a meeting immediately- after the conference, at which they declared that their conviction of the justice of the claims of the Staf fordshire Potters was confirmed, and pledged themselves to use every Means in their power to raise funds to support them until the principles they contend for are established. The number out of employment amounts to near 20,000. ROSSEAU'S PERIWINKLE.—Rosseau's anecdote of this flower is well known. He tells us that he was walking with Madame de Warens, at Charmettes, when she sud denly exclaimed, " there is the periwinkle still in flower." Rosseau, being short sighted, had never observed this flower, which always grows near the ground, and stooping down, he gazed at it with pleasure. He did not see it again for Thirty years, when, being at Gressier, and climbing a hill with M. Peyron, he observed something blue among the bushes, and, stooping down to examine it, he uttered with a cry of joy, " voila la pervenche " and all the tender emo tions of the moment when he first saw it, rushed back upon his mind. Hence the plant in France is consecrated " Aux doux souvenirs," and is generally planted near a monumental urn, or other ornament or building dedicated to the remem brance of a friend. DEATH IN THE SNOW.—During the snow storm a young woman named Sarah Port perished at Marsh-side. Verdict—" Died from the severity of the cold." A man named Edwards also perished in the same parish, on the same day, and about the same hour. A similar verdict was returned at an inquest held on the body. Another man, named Joseph Terry, perished in the same storm between Sarre and Minster. He was proceeding towards the latter place with a man named Solly, the snow falling fast at the time, and the wind blowing a perfect gale. The deceased became incapable o f proceeding, and fell repeatedly. S o lly raised him s evera l ti mes , an d attempted to get him to a stack, where he might have been sheltered, but was unable to do so. He then went for assistance, and returned with two farm servants, but. could not find Terry. He was sub sequently fouud hanging over a hedge, nearly covered with snow. The jury who sat on the body returned a verdict of " Died by the inclemency of the weather." On Wednesday a labourer, dragging the river for shingle, opposite the Gros Caillou, drew up the body of a well-dressed man about 65 years of age, to whose neck a heavy stone was fastened by a cord. There were no ap pearances of violence, and the body had evidently been in the water some time. It was conveyed to the Morgue, where it has since been recognized as the corpse of a Mr. C., well known on the Stock Exchange as having lately sus tained very heavy losses, in consequence of which he had, no doubt, committed suicide. He has been missing for about a month, After some discussion, the LORD CHANCELLOR had not the slightest doubt that it was the right of the appellant's Counsel to open the case before him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the appellants, said that the original information filed in November, 1825, prayed an injunction to restrain the Corporation of Liverpool, consist ing of a mayor, bailiffs, and burgesses, from mortgaging or alienating the Corporation property, in order to raise a fund for the permanent endowment of the Rectors and Clergymen of the different churches in Liverpool. The Corporation of Liverpool--that was, the Corporation as it existed before the passing of the Municipal Corporation Re gulation Act—proposed to raise a sum of 105,0001., to be vested in trustees for the permanent indemnity ofthe borough, and the object of the injunction was to put a stop to this pro ceeding, which appeared to the ratepayers to be an illegal di version of the Corporation property. The injunction, with this view, charged that the ownership of all the Corporation property was qualified and cut down by the Municipal Cor poration Act from the day that it received the Royal Assent, and that from that day, the 9th of September, 1835, it was a breach of trust in the old Corporation to raise the sum in question, because they were, by several sections of the Act, to hold their property as trustees for the use of their suc cessors. An injunction to restrain the Corporation from raising the money was granted ex parte by the Court, but this injunction was dissolved by the Rolls, and that decision was subsequently confirmed by his Lordship as Lord Com missioner. The ground of that decision was, that if the injunction continued until the termination of the official existence of the old Corporation, on the 26th of December, 1835, the question of the right to raise the fund for the purpose proposed could never be tried. The old Corpora tion, after the dissolution of the injunction, on the assump tion that the Clergy were not sufficiently endowed, and that it was expedient to relieve the inhabitants of Liver pool from the payment of the rate, proceeded to mort gage two of the Corporation estates for the sum of 65,0001., and to raise the remainder of the sum of 105,000/. out of rates and other property belonging to the borough of Liverpool. This object was effected by certain deeds, dated in the 21st of December, 1835, five days before the new Act came into operation ; and in these deeds Mr. Aspinal and others were named as trustees for the benefit of the Clergy. This gave rise to the sup plemental bill, in which Mr. Aspinal and the trustees were made parties. To that bill the defendants put in a general demurrer, which was allowed in July last by Lord Lang dale. His Lordship, in giving judgment on the demurrer, did not negative the assertion of the relators, that the sum in question was trust property, and that the Court had full jurisdiction to deal with it as it thought proper. On the contrary, his Lordship expressly affirmed both propositions, but his Lordship was at the same time of opinion that the Court could not take on itself to say that the money was not fairly raised, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Liver pool, and his Lordship also thought that the case came within the 97th section of the new Act. Now, according to the Learned Counsel's opinion, this decision could not be maintained, if it were allowed, as he conceived it to be al lowed on all hands, that the Corporations were clothed with a trust for the benefit of their successors at the time the Corporation Regulation Act passed into a law. The mere question to be decided in the present case was, whether this power ceased on the passing of the Act, on the 9th of September, 1835, or on the 26th of December in the same year, when the Act came into operation ? Now, he main tained that the trust commenced at the period of the passing of the Act, and the sections on which he founded his argu ment, and to which he called his Lordship's attention, were the Ist, the 58th, 68th, 92d, 94th, 97th, and 139th. Mr. PEMBERTON addressed the Court in support of the I decree, up to six o'clock, when his Lordship rose. The arguments are to be continued to-morrow (this day). VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, J. 9. MAItR V. LITTLE WOOD. Mr. KNIGHT moved for a receiver of the outstanding estate of a testator named Littlewood. The plaintiff was his executor, and also a creditor, and had proved his will The defendant was the widow of Littlewood, and had in stituted a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court at York for a revocation of the probate granted to the plaintiff, insisting that the will which had been made when Littlewood was a bachelor was revoked by his subsequent marriage and the birth of a child ; and pending that suit she gave no tice to her late h usband's banker not to pay the plaintiff a sum of money which stood in his hands. Mr. JACOB (for the defendant) insisted the evidence was insufficient to ground the interference of the Court. His HONOUR must have something to show him the per sonal estate was in some danger. Mr. KNIGHT would procure an affidavit as to the po sition of the testator's property. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 'Lily. 9. Henrich lacinniann, a native of Prussia, was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of Henrich Lunge, and two other creditors, foreign merchants. He was supported by Mr. COOKE. The insolvent had been a merchant at Breslau, in Prus sia, where he carried on business in partnership with Hen rich Lunge. His debts amounted to 2,9491., and his credits to 2,0271. His creditors were residents in the Kingdom of Prussia. Mr. WOODROFFE applied for further time, to get up the opposition against the insolvent. He was a merchant in an extensive way, and had run away from his creditors. The case was ultimately adjourned for a month, and in the meantime the schedule ordered to be referred to Mr. Cresswell, the Examiner of the Court, for investigation. Mr. H. Long, late a Lieutenant in the army, and Capt. and Major in the service of the Queen of Spain, was op posed by Mr. CRESWELL fora creditor residing at Liver pool, named Joseph Jones. The insolvent had received orders from General Evans to raise troops and supplies for the Queen of Spain, which were to be guaranteed by Mr. C. M. King, the contractor. He had raised 1,478 men, for which he was to be paid 2s. Gd. a head. He had, however, obtained no portion of his claim from the Spanish Government. The debt of the opposing creditor was 471. for grocery goods supplied at verpool to the troops. He bill which he drew had not been accepted by Mr. King, but he would give all the assistance he could to Mr. Jones to obtain payment of his debt. He denied that he had any half-pay or pension. Ho had sold his commission in the army in 1834 for 6001. Mr. CooKE said the Spanish Government should be in serted in the schedule as debtors. It was a contingency, and rather a doubtful matter.—(A laugh.) The insolvent was discharged, and Mr. Jones appointed assignee. There are 146 candidates for admission as attorneys in Hilary Term next. ALLEGED SPANISH INQUISITION IN LONDON. —Since the promulgation of the inquiry into the above charge at Bow-street, several Spaniards of rank hate been usinc , every effort to elucidate the ext raor di nary ta l e, b ut without success. The result of their investigation leads them seriously to doubt the whole narrative, which doubt receives further confirmation from the fact, that the com plainant is unknown in the highest ranks of society, or in the political circles, of either of the contending parties in their unfortunate country.—Observer. On Christmas-day the following curious occurrence took place at the afternoon service in Chester cathedral ; the gas that lights the cathedral burnt so faintly as scarcely to give sufficient light to enable the congregation to read. In the after part of the service, Handers beautiful an them, " The people that walked in darkness," commenced, and just as the concluding passage, " I have seen a great light," was given in full chorus, the gas burst out with amazing brillancy, to the astonishment of the congregation. —Chester Courant. FLOUR AND OATMEAL.—For the term of twenty three years, ending 1831, the total amount of flour exported from Ireland to Liverpool amounted to 1,408,784 sacks ; whilst for the term of the last five years, ending the Ist of October, the flour exported from Ireland to Liverpool amounts to 1,300,000 sacks and upwards. The total amount of Irish oatmeal received into Liverpool for the period of twenty-three years is 665,900 sacks. The amount received in Liverpool during the second period of five years, ending October, 1836, 925,000 sacks. Tile labour of the mail guards still continues to be most arduous, and their pecuniary loss from the few journeys they were able to accomplish during the storm, and the absence of passengers is much felt. Their pay from the post-office, considering their heavy responsibilities, is very low, only 12s. per week, out of which Is. 6d. is dedusted for their clothing. For the remainder of the means of livelihood they are left dependent on the customary fees given by travellers. It is said the post-office authorities intend giving them a gratuity for the desperate labour they have lately had to undergo. CORONERS' INQUESTS. An inquest was last night held at the City of Hereford public-house, Lichfield-street, Soho-square, before Mr. Higgs, Coroner for Westminster, on the body of William Pizzy, who committed suicide by hanging himself. It ap peared that the deceased had been latterly in a low des ponding way, from the fear, which was, however; unfoun ded, of pecuniary difficulty. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Black Horse Tavern, High-street, Marylebone, before Mr. STIRLING and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of a fine new-born female infant, which was discovered in a sewer of a house in James-street, Oxford -street, the unfortunate little innocent having been murdered and placed there by the unnatural parent, or some other party. Several witnesses were examined, who proved the finding of the child, but could give no clue to the parent. Tile house is a lodging-house, full of lodgers. There are no single women residing in the house. It had not been of late observed that any female in the house appeared to be enciente. It also appeared that the sewer is in the back yard, and that persons can obtain ingress to it from the street without the knowledge of the inmates 'of the house. Mr. Edward Barnard, surgeon to Marylebone Infirmary, deposed that he had examined the body of the infant ; it was certainly a fine full-grown child. The umbilical cord had not been fastened, which neglect would occasion death, admitting the child had been born alive. The body did not exhibit marks of violence to account for death. Im mersion in the soil immediately after the birth would occa sion death. As a matter of opinion, witness thinks the child was born alive. The CORONER said that no doubt the poor innocent in fant had been thrown alive down the closet by some un natural wretch, and that it had perished either from suffo cation or exhaustion, from loss of blood, the cord not being tied. The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The parish intend offering a reward for the apprehension of the offender. SUICIDE THROUGH DlSTRESS.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the White Hart in Bethnal Green-road, before Mr. BAKER, the Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of Thomas Clarke, aged 45 years, who had hung himself on Saturday morning. Wom the evidence of a son of the deceased, a lad of 14 years of age, it appeared that the deceased had been in the employment of Messrs. Barker, warehousemen, of Wood-street, Cheapside, for eleven years, as carman or waggoner, and was discharged on Saturday week, as he al leged, for taking a pitch—namely, taking some goods be longing to other persons into his waggon as he went along, and receiving remuneration for it. He endeavoured to get other employment during the week, but being unsuccessful, and having a wife and six children dependent upon him for support, he exhibited symptoms of great uneasiness of mind upon Friday and Friday night, and on Saturday morning he was found suspended from a beam in a small wash-house. Several of the jury expressed much surprise that the deceased, after so long a servitude as eleven years, should have been discharged for so trivial an offence. A juror remarked that, in all probability, the reason for his discharge was different to that which they had heard. There had latterly been discovered a most extensive system of plunder carried on both by the carmen themselves, acid with their connivance. The jury ultimately returned a verdict that the deceased had hung himself while labouring under temporary insanity. Nothing could exceed the wretchedness and misery in the residence of the deceased. There was scarcely a ves tige of furniture in the place, and the wailings of his wife and unfortunate children were truly heart-rending. Another inquest was held before the same Coroner and jury, at the King and Queen, Hate -street, Bethnal-green, on the body of James Stephens, a broad silk-wearer, aged 43 years, which had been picked out of the Regent's Ca nal on Sunday morning. The deceased, it appeared, had latterly been afflicted with disease seas to be unable to do his work, and for some weeks past seemed in a very dejected state of mind. On Saturday evening he left his residence, and nothing more was heard of him until mid-day on Sunday, wben his body was brought in a shell to the workhouse. Verdict, " Found drowned." During the past year no fewer than 1,065 packets entered and quitted the Port of Boulogne, with 55,512 passengers, being five times the number of the preccdin„ year, and much greater than the number of the vessels which entered and quitted Calais. This vast increase arises from the improvements made in the port of Boulogne, and also from the extraordinary cheapness of the fares between Lon don and Boulogne, and from Dover to Boulogne. A melancholy accident happened at Bordeaux on the 31st ult to M. Senegre, stock-broker. Wishing to un load his gun, he put his mouth to the muzzle. His leg having unfortunately touched the lock, the gun went off, and killed him on the spot. His young wife was present at the time. The most active preparations, we uncle' stand, are in aking for the Grand Reform Dinner to be given at Drury lane Theatre on the 23d instant. It is expected that in a few days the number of stewards will not be much under 500, while the number of persons expected to sit down to dinner is estimated at from 1,2005t0 1,400, the latter being the greatest number the theatre will comfortably accommo date. We are also enabled to state that Reform . Members of Parliament from all parts of the country are daily inti mating to the Committee their intention of being present on the occasion. We have reason to believe that some of the country Members who are not in the habit of speaking in the House of Commons, will address the assemblage on this occasion at considerable length, and that some very im portant declarations will be made as to the course which the Reform party ought to pursue in the existing circum stances of the country.
