SPIRIT OF TilE PUBLIC JOURNALS. liVelJare no hesitation in eNpressing the feeling of rleer mortification with which we read the telegraphic dispatch of 17th froth Bayonne, announcing the retreat of Saersfi.dd bcfore—a snow-storm ! The cause committed to such hands can came to no good. Fronn week to week—then from day to 4ay— under one pretext or other, did we find this dishonour to his pro fes• ion postponing his move upon the broken forces of the netcnder. It is but justice, however, to say that he was not without a rival in guilt ; nor is he very likely to want one while Espartero is in command. At 1en.1.11, however, according even to his own admission, he o as amply provided with funds, rations, and clothing ; ;mil he did consent to advance in concert with General Evan:. The latter forced the Carlist positions, and was within a march of Ernani. He rested on th e heights of Am.ozagana, waiting only for the co-opera tion of his '' most excellent" allies. And the news now reaches us that at this most critical moment, after haying succeeded in concentrating, the entireCarlist force upon Evans's position, General Saarsfield has aban doned him to what seems their overwhelming num bers ! We confess our inabiFty to read these dispatches and bulletins Of military movements otherwise than as mere civilians. It is, perhaps, be cause we are unskilled in the strategy of war, that we are fearful that General Evans has been first betrayed into a situation of the most imminent danger, and then abandoned. If this be so, he has but one course— to fall back upon the lines of St. Sebastian, and throw the war back into precisely the same position in which it was before he advanced. We have before us authen tic information, from which we learn that, on the 12th, Saarsfield had met with no opposition—that he had beaten the Carlists at Erice—that he was crossing the defiles of Lus dos Hermanos, the most difficult in Navarre, and that the Carlists were in retreat before him. Then, as we are informed by the telegraph of the 17th, the snow-storm comes to his relief, and he is enabled to leave Evans unsupported in front of the whole body of the Pretender's troops. As to Espartero, he had achieved the mighty task of marching four leagues east of Durango. So that support from him the British Legion cannot expect. Had the capture of Irun or Fontarabia been the object of the move ment, Evans could have accomplished it unaided ; but it was not. Both Espartero and Saarsfield knew that Ernani was the point of attack, and, as in them lay, we apprehend they have succeeded in de feating it. Should any additional delay, still less any disaster, result from this conduct, - our private accounts lead us to apprehend the very worst consequences in Madrid. The impatience and irritation of the people is represented as extreme. Mendizabal is menaced with popular vengeance, the inactivity of • the army being attributed to him. Instead of retiring before the storm, however, he seems anxious to brave it in the most prominent position. The increased illness of Calatrava having at length rendered it necessary to have a Minister ad interim in his place, M. Mendi zabal pretended to it. The Queen, however, preferred Count Almodovar. Affairs remain in suspense. Such, however, was the state of public excitement, that any adverse intelligence from Navarre, indeed even the delay of good news, is calculated to produce the most de plorable results. Alaix, we learn, has at length given up his command, and has gone to Burgos to stand his trial.—Morning Chronicle. We have rarely met with so many words to so little purpose as in the debate on Friday night concerning the capture of the Vixen. But this is precisely the sort of discussion for which nature has qualified Lord Palmerston. " A great cry, but little wool," would be the most appropriate motto for his Lordship's Parliamentary banner. But, to do the Foreign Secre tary justice, the case of the Vixen is one as to which he may reasonably have thought that the less said would be the sooner mended ; such at least is our opinion, for, from the best consideration we can give to the subject, it seems that one party alone is to blame in the whole transaction, and that party is Lord Palmerston. Let it not be supposed that we are in sensible to the cunning, grasping, and dangerous na ture of Russian policy. It is the strong conviction of this that has on so many occasions caused as to re:Tret that the interests of great Britain should be com mitted to the care of a person every way unequal to cope with Russian diplomacy—one who, as Mr. Roebuck truly remarked, appears to adopt the pria eiple of interfering where he ought not interfere, and of not interfering where he ought to inter fere. Another Honourable Member, Sir E. Cod rington, told Lord Palmerston that the great evil of our foreign policy was the want of decision. It is so. Had a vigorous hand been at the helm—had not daily proofs been furnished to the Russians of the purely contemptible nature of the English Minister with whom they had to deal, it is out of the question that she should have seized so very slight an opportu nity as they furnished by the Vixen for flouting the British flag before all Europe. Lord Palmerston himself states that the case is one " involving, by pos sibility, the question of peace or war between this coun try and Russia." We may, therefore, be assured that Russia proceeded with a due regard to consequences e. with a just disregard of Lord Palmerston. Let us, then, examine what are the real merits of the case. In 1781, by the treaty of Constantinople, Russia ceded to Turkey the portion of the Circassian coast as far as Kuban. By the treaty of Adrianople this territory was restored to Russia, under protest from Lord Aberdeen, then Foreigv, m Secretary, to whom the several clauses of time treaty were sub mitted. That the Government of the Duke of Wellington should have so protested was but na tural, Russia having, as stated by Lord Palmerston, volontarlv bound herself to all Europe that she would not look for an extension of territory from the war with Turkey. However, the treaty so protested against was ratified, and by the provisions of that treaty Russia has an indisputable right to the part of the coast where she has asserted her sovereignty. Lord Palmerston, in his Album of Saturday, denies the pos session of this sw.ereignty by Russia, and rJers to the manifesto of thu Circassian Chiefs in proof of their in dependence. This is contemp:ible shuffling. The question for us is, simply, whether by the treaty of AdrinnoCte the coast was, or was not, ceded to Russia by Tinker. The Circassians may rebel, and that sue cer,,fulle, against Russian domination, but it Would be a rare precedent were a treaty to be annulled by the hare fact of such rebellion on the part of those sub ject to its provisions. The Album tells us, " that it may net make much practical difference whether we formd our national policy on the hitherto recognized cr on direct rce;rd to our own interests." For ourselves, we must say that this country has ah-eade suiFered quite enough by a departure from recognized principles under the present Government ; and in no respect has this tren more mischievously shown than in time foreign fooleries of Lord Palmer ston. But to the point. It is clear that Russia has a right, under a solemn treaty, to the line of coast claimed by her. The existence of this right must have been known to the Foreign Secretary, and, with ail respect for Dr. Lushingtoe's opinion, we must declare that Lord Pahnerston's answer to the inquiries of Mr. Bell was not such as a British merchant is entitled to ex pect from a British Minister. We will give his Lord ship's own account of this part of th e case, which we take to be the part it; which his Lordship is inextri cably comprotr.;sed. Be himself says— " Actin K according to what I conceived to be my duty, d^elinedko give to Mr. Bell any connountation as to what the bearing of the municipal regulations established by Russia on tae eastern coast of the Black Sea might be upon the particular voyage he was about to undertake : but I re ferred him to the Gazette, where he would find that no blockade hail been communicated to this country. There fore, when the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Roebuck) sass that the voyage of the Vixen was encouraged—that the was allowed to go out by the Government as a sort of reeler, to try a particular question of international law, 1 think, frora the correspondence I have read, the House will sec that all the replies were of a discouraging, rather than cdria encouraging, nature." What Lord Palmerston may conceive to he his duty, and what really is his duty, are two very different things. A British merchant applies at the Foreign- Office for information as to whether there exist any international obstacles or not to hi 3 embarking his ca pital in traffic to a particular coast. The replies, which in such a case should be clear and distinct, are admitted by the Foreign Minister to be "rather of a discouraging than of an encouraging nature and this Minister furthermore conceived it be his duty not to apprise Mr. Bell of the regulations established on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. in this view his Lordship,was supported by Dr. Lnshington. But is that Learned Civilian aware that Russia had for mally intimated to Lord Ponsonhy, our Anillassador at Constantinople, that she inteudeti to adopt fiscal and sanatory regulationstt.lng the coast where the Vixen was seized? 1 This intimation must have been transmitted to die Foreign-office, and can any man doubt that in a great commercial country like this such an intimation should have been communicated by the Foreign Mi nister to a merchant in the situation of Mr. Beil ? Yet all that Lord Pahnerston himself says he did was rather to discourage than encourage the mercantile en terprise of that gentleman ! Does his Lordship mean to deny that every member of the Cabinet to whom the existence of the line of coast in question was known was equally aware of the existence of Russian rights under the treaty of Adrianople ? Will he tell us that he did not receive from our Ambassador at Constanti nople a hint, not to be mistaken, as to the determina tion of Russia to enforce those rights ? Then we ask how, in the face of these facts, Lord Palmerston can presume to justify a course which, by his own admis sion, has led to so grave a compromise of British inte rests as to involve the possibility of a war between this country and Russia ? The whole question resolves it self into the point of Lord Palmerston's fitness for the office which he holds ; and, strong as must have been the conviction in the public mind on this point long ago, we think that this last specimen of his folly must decide his removal from even the Melbourne Ministry, were it not that the incapables composing it are about to be turned out in a body.—Times. While the interest of England is condensed almost upon one question—the battle which the Episcopal Bench is madly resolved to fight against the settled opinion of the country—the political horizon both in France and Spain is assuming a character of stormy and excited interest, which attracts and deserves the un intermitted attention of the politician and the statesman. Light is breaking through the clouds of the long gloom with which the Carlist insurrection has inflicted upon the popular cause in Spain ; the combined contingents of three Powers of the Quadruple Alliance are now effectively in the field, and the fourth Power, France, will have the mortification of seeing herself excluded from the exertions and the triumphs of a battle, on the result of which, in all probability, is suspended the 'fate or the subversion of free institutions in her own country. The Conservatives throughout Europe, who have fed the Carlist till now with supplies, may be justly considered as fighting a battle in behalf of ab solute authority and passive obedience on the soil of Spain. The banners of Reform and of popular institutions wave over the ranks of the Christinos and their allies. Re formers of all grades are interested in the conflict, inas much as the political dogmas incorporated with the Spanish Constitution are such as one day will give the law to this country, to France, and perhaps to the world. Its war-cry is the original War-cry of the Bar ricades in 1830—" No privileged abuses or castes in Church or State ! No misappropriated Church funds ! No House of Peers !" So much for the great cause of the people in every part of the world ! In France the prospects of the same great cause are equally cheering. It may appear problematical to say so ; but we say so deliberately and from conviction. There is a homely but sensible proverb that says—" When things are at the worst they are the most likely to be mended." Of any great abuse it may be justly pre dicated, that the more atrocious and intolerable it be comes,-the better it is eventually for its temporary vic tims. On this principle, before the abolition of the slave trade, we rejoiced to hear of some outrageous enormity practised by the dealers in human flesh. We should like to have atrocious examples of flogging in the army brought forcibly before the public eye, on the same principle. The bow snaps with being overstrained ; the gorge of public indignation re volts against the outrage ! and by a single fiat of its will extinguishes it for ever. So we look at the proceedings of the infatuated men who are now with headlong infatuation of whip, rein, and spur, impelling the Government of France to the re tribution of a sure and early destruction. It is not a prison of Ham which ought to be got ready at the present moment for these truculent and unteachable madmen ; but a Bedlam of an especial construction ought to be built for the ultimate enshrinement of a madness unparalleled in political history. Will it be believed that even now—with the Chamber of Depu ties declaring against them—with the Juries of France declaring against them—with the army against them--- , - and with public opinion in the electoral colleges so pronouncedly against the present Government, that it dare not attempt to remould the Chamber to its pur poses by a new election ;—that they still persevere in the course which has caused all their danger—which expelled Charles X., and which will expel his cou sin ;—namely, by accumulating actions and seizures against the press, and by persisting in their en deavour to suffocate public opinion ? Since we last noticed their proceedings three actions have been brought by them; the result of which will be equally baneful to themselves. The Editor of the Quotidienne, for an excellent and ad monitory article to which we have referred has been subjected by a majority of one to a fine of 2000 francs and two months imprisonment ; but the short-sighted triumph of the Ministry on this account has received a check by, the acquittal of the Journal de Peuple, for an article of the same unpliant character. The ac quittal of the Charivari will be the 4 ' unkindest cut of all in the eyes of the pr esent res id ents at t h e c h ateau , since it will put a stop to the project c f fleecing the French people by the noted scheme of appanage for the junior members of the Orleans family. The very contemplation of a provision of a distant future by the present governing pow e rs o f F rance i n the present eto mentarilv unsettled state of things. would be ridicit lolls, if it did not exhibit the contemptible feature of an insatiate avarice which sticks at nothing to scrape money together, whether by an undue use of the earli est telegraphic communication On 'Change, or by it-leanly examining the sordid details of the cuisine. One fancies one sees a second edition of that Didius who purchased a temporary possession of the Roman sovereignty by his money, till the people got tired of his ignoble meannee_ts, and tossed him with a contemptuous latigh4q es tie to make room for a successor better quails fled to b.sar the imperial purple. In reality the French people treat their present oppressors in nearly the same manner. They laugh at while they hate them. They" use them fur their mirth ; yea, for their laughter." While they express the feeling of dislike by the acquittal of thirty two individuals, accused of belonging to the secret Chrb of the Socij4 de Famille—and by that nteans infer that the sovereignty of the Clubs is at least as legitimate as the apostate sovereignty of the Barricades—they make a public laughing-stock of the authority, whose right they deny. Two pregnant ins stances of this feeling will occur to the reader ; one the hoax practised on the Minister of Police by two wags, in tentions; and agreed t o ac cuse eac h o th er o f r e gicidal and who gave us a reason on their trial, that they thought the Ministers such fools that they would be lieve any thing ; an d nex t th e h oax , which is now playing upon Persil, the Minister of Public Instruc tion, by making use of some abstracted official signa tures from his office ; praising one magistrate, cashier ing another, asking a third to breakfast, and sending a fourth upon his t rave l s . Th ese t hi ngs s h ow the con temptinto which a Government falls, which is felt to be on the verge of an ignoble death. The cannon which will announce, at Madrid, the triumph of the quadruple alliance at Fontarabia, will. echo back to Paris, and announce the death-bed and burial of the Government of the Barricades.—Morning Advertiser. To the majority of the Members of Lord Mel bourne's Cabinet and of their more immediate sup porters, •" the emoluments of office are of conse quence." 'So said Sir William Molesworth in the Westminster Review last January ; and that he spoke the truth, the state of the public business at the end of March abundantly testifies. Three great questions are at issue between the Conservatives and the Go vernment -- The Irish Corporation . question, the Church-rate question, the Appropriation question. Each of them Li, or ought to be, as Lord John Rus sell happily expresses it, " vital to the present Atl i ministration." All of them are, therefore, let alone just at the point where it becomes dangerous to handle them ; and the gentlemen to whom the " emoluments of office are of consequence" will be enabled by their pru lent forbearance ; to enjoy those ertioluinents till after the fillstet keeen. ii first, there is the Irish Cor poration question. Upon this the Ministers were sure c,f a sufficient majority in the Lower House. The di visions of last year had effectually committed strength against reason, and numbers against facts. The Irish Corporation Bill was, therefore, introduced without d fficulty and without delay. A contest took place noon its principle in an early stage of its progress. The victory was with its promoters ; and as little further dispute was anticipated upon its details, they nl ! eht have passed it through the House of Commons with Railroad celerity. But there is a House of Lords. The defeat of the Bill in the Upper House seems as certain as its triumph in the Lower. It would be very uncomfortable to be beaten on the first vital question, More the holidays. The Bill, therefore, slumbers undisturbed through Mr. Clay's didactics on the Corn Laws, and Mr. Grote's metaphysics on the Ballot ; and the normal schools for agitation will not venture to ap ply to the Peers for a license fill after the Easier re cess. Next, there is the Church-rate question. Upon a resolution embodying the views of the Government upon this matter, the Ministers anticipated a very large majority—and, after a 'decisive discomfiture in the debate—they obtained a very small one. Still their way was open before them—they had leave to bring in their Bill. But many who had supported them thus far had announced their intention of sup porting them no further ; many who had long held out with them unfired were " halting now for breath. The destruction of the Bill which was to be intro duced appeared as indisputable as the success of the resolution which had been carried. It would be ruinous to be repulsed on the second vital question before the holidays. The Report of the Committee is therefore to be brought up on Wednesday next ; and, whatever mischief may be meditated by Mr. Benett and Mr. Cayley—whatever indignation may be felt by Mr. Harland and Mr. Lambton—those gentlemen will have no opportunity of recording their hatred of injus tice and their honor of spoliation till after the Easter recess. Thirdly, there is the, appropriation question. It is the corner-stone on which Lord Melbourne's power is built—the charter by which his Cabinet is incorporated. If he resign the appropriation question, on the same day, for very shame, he must resign the seals of office. In two Sessions this very Parliament has adopted the policy pursued upon this subject by his Cabinet, and sanctioned by majorities with which he professed himself satisfieda principle whose ratifi cation, n caon, he declared, could not, consistently f with the public safety, be withheld or postponed. What, then, I is become of the Appropriation Bill ? the atmo sphere of the Upper House is ungenial to the con sideration of it, why is it not, at least, suffered to exhibit its beauties in the more favourable climate of the Lower ? It must be remembered that the Popish Parliament in Dublin has bound itself by a formal resolution to be satisfied with nothing short of the total extinction of the Protestant Esta blishment=that many members of that Popish Par liament, being Members also of the British House of Commons, are preparing to maintain in the one capa city the purposes they have asserted in the other ; that the prospective and contingent theft of some thousands many years hence is little likely, therefore, to be tolerated either by the honest minority or the dishonest majority of the House of Common. It would never do to be routed on the third vital question before the holidays. We arc told, accordingly, by Lord J. Russell, that there are numerous difficulties in the way ;. and we shall hear no, more of the appropriation `question till after the Easter recess. To Lord Mel bourne, then, and his friends belong, for the holidays, the pay and the patronage of office. Happy be their enjoyment of this brief period of salaried tranquillity and if indeed the Conservative Peers are to destroy the Irish Corporations, the Church lessees to strangle the Church-rate Bill, and the Popish Radicals to kill with coldness the appropriation scheme—may no evil dream present to their imagination these misfortunes till tyter the Easter recess.—Morning Post. The persons who pretend 'that they are friendly to the Church Establishment and to its connection with the State, and who at the same time support the Mi nisterial resolutions for the abolition of Church -rate, are unworthy of being reasoned with. For the most part it must be a false pretence. The quality of dullness is, indeed, sufficiently abundant among Li beral Members of the House of Commons, but it is incredible that more than a few can be so hopelessly obtuse as not to perceive that these resolutions are quite destructive in their tendency. If property be an element of strength, the taking away of property must have the effect of weakening. If yielding to a determined enemy up to a certain point, emboldens that enemy to persevere, the danger from without to the Church is increased at the very moment that, by taking. away its . prop er ty, it is rendered, as an Establishment, weaker within. All this is so plain that none but the stupidest of mankind can fail to see it. The persons professing friendship to the Establishment, and at the same time support ing the Government, are either so dishonest that no argument will have any weight with them, or so dull that no argument will be understood by them. We leave them to their hypocrisy and their st'tipidity respec tively. They who,support die Government resolutions with a clear understanding that they are .pro Canto an overthrow of the Establishment, may be divided into two general classes. Of these classes, one de sires the overthrow of the Establishment from mere depravity—from a hatred of good, and a resolution to destroy every instrument of good. " Evil, be thou my good," is the principle of each individual of this class, awl upon that they act. TI • prince whom they practically worship will, no doubt, take care of his sown in the end—for the present they must Intvo thcit fling. The other class is well affected to morality, and not averse perhaps from religion, so as they ate allowed to have all the arrangement of it themselves. They op. the Establishment because, according to their views, it does not do good to the cause of true religion or good government To these we would appeal, upon time ground of the gross imaiorality from which these Government resolutions appear to spring, dila the low vices of factious resentment and base cupidity which they appear to encourage: Why do the Ministers propose Snell resolutions P I it td serve the cause of religion, or of party ? Is it to promote the welfare of the popl2 in matters of the very highest moment, or their own welfare as the holders of place, through the influence of a party ? If it be the latter, then to contribute to their success is to encoutagg the grossest of all wrong ; it is to encourage the indul gence of the basest selfishness, at the expense of reli gion ! Now there is good reason to believe that it is the. fact. They know, because they have themselves stated the facts to the public, as members of the Church Commiseion ) that the trieatis of the Chuiteh ate dd piorabiv inadequate to the spiritual instruction of the people. They have told the public that the Established Church is crippled, and circumscribed by the want of Churches and ministers in the large towns and portions district,' of the kingdom, The growth of the ptiptildildil has been so rapid as to outrun the mea»s of the establish ment, and the result has been, that a vast proportion of the people are left destitute of the opportunities of public worship and Christian instruction, even wh en every allowance is made for the exertions of those religious bodies, which are not in connection with the Established Church. These are not our statements, but those of his Majesty's official servants. They have sa'd also that in four London parishes, containing 166,000 persons, there is Church room for only a twentieth of the whole ; that in 21 other parishes, con taining 739,000 persons, there is not Church-room for quite a tenth of the whole, and not as much as one clergyman to every 16,400 persons. These, and many more facts of the same kind, his Majesty's presents M inisters have published to the world. Now if, knowi n g all this, they suddenly discovered means by which the possessions of the Church might he made toe yield a very much larger sum than hitherto they have yielded, and if they were actuated by a desire to contribute to the religious knowledge and morallculture of the people, is it credible that they would not have sought to apply the money in remedy of the evils which they have themselves stated and la mented ? Is it at all credible that they would prefer applying it as a substitute for a tax which has existed from time immemorial, and for the removal of whi c h none but the Dissenters (if even they) have anything like a colourable claim ? Is it not, in short, quite obVious that, stippOSiqg 'them sincere in their belief that so much more may be obtained from Church lands than hitherto has been obtained, they have preferred to apply it to the gratification of a political party rather than to the promotion of the worship of God, to the re lief of the religious destitution of the people which they themselves acknowledge ? If from this bad' preference the resolutions have sprung, to support the Govern m: rt which proposes them is manifestly to encourage the most flagrant immorality. Again, these resolutions are evidently addressed to the cupidity of the nation. To gratify a certain Ministerial party, it is necessary to do a great injury to the Established Church, and an attempt is made to bribe the people into an acquies cence in the injury, because the same act which de spoils the Church will relieve the people from an im post. If, then, the resolutions clearly spring from an immoral motive, it is no less clear that they arc in tended to have an immoral effect—to corrupt the people by tempting them to desert the Church, upon the wretched consideration of relieving themselves from a small money payment. We trust these considera tions may have some effect upon men who, whatever their opinions of the Established Church may be, would scorn to countenance immorality, whether in the people's governors, or the people themselves.— Morning.

The unfortunate man was reduced to a mere sli.eleton, and his skin Wag marked with spots of a purple hue. lie died on the Bth init. since his being found, the man has stated that he slept two days and a night amongst the gorse bushes on the common. It is supposed that the only sustenance he had taken was obtained by chewing the hay around him, for we understand it has all the appearance of being gnawed by rats where he had been lying.—Man cheater Guardian. LIBEL LAW.—The beauties of the law as applied to that undefined and undefinable term " libel," have just been illustrated again in the case of an action brought against a country contemporary. The plaintiff, it appeared by the evi dence, had not been consulted at all upon the matter, but some attorneys in the borough of Poole had very kindly undertaken the management of 'the affair, and in their anxiety over his character, they first brought their action against the writer of the paragraph, and obtained, at the hands of the Jury, ten pounds damages; and after taking proceedings against the proprietor of the paper in which the paragraph first appeared, they determined (no doubt wisely) to countermand the trial, and proceed, for the present, only against the ShPrborne Journal. The cause was heard before Baron Gurney, at Dor chester, on Saturday, when the Jury trebled the damages that had been previously given for the same libel against its author. EXCLUSIVE DEALING.—" I do voluntarily pro mise that I will not receive the addresses of a man who will not sign the abstinence pledge." " I do voluntarily promise that I will not pay my addresses to any female who will not sign the abstinence pledge." The first pledge was signed by 25 females, and the other was signed by 10 males, at the waiters' tea party, held at the Temperance Hotel, ea Monday evening, Jan, 9.—Preston Temperance Advocate.

On Friday, a pensioner, who had lost one arm, named Marshall, happening to be in a public-house with a man named Stainton, who had a long time since kicked him, he began to reproach him with the circumstance. Stainton said he was sorry for having kicked him, and hated to hear it always brought up, after he had so many times declared his regret at having done so ; he then offered Marshall ss. never again to mention the matter. The pensioner refused to take the money, but said be would shake hands if Stainton would give a pot of ale, which was immediately complied with. After the ale was drank, and Stainton was leaving the house, Marshall followed him, reproaching him bitterly with cowar dice in kicking him, and used such provoking expressions that Stainton, who was not quite sober, turned upon and knocked him over a wheelbarrow. Marshall fell on his head and almost immediately expired. At the inquest a verdict of Manslaughter was returned against Stainton. —Lincoln Gazette. A young woman, named Rebecca Walker, whose parents reside at Crossland, died on Friday last, after remain ing in a state of asphyxia for nine weeks. She became insen sible and apparently dead, and it was only on the closest in spection it could be perceived that she breathed. During this time nothing was administered to her but a spoonful of water occasionally. Before her death she became a complete ske leton. On a post mortem examination her heart was found to be of the size of a chicken's. — Lincolnshire Chronicle. On Monday afternoon, the peaceful inhabitants of the village of Thames Ditton were thrown into the utmost distress by the following melancholy accident :—Two young men, who had almost from their infancy been engaged in the same pursuit, were employed in obtaining gravel from the bed of the river Thames, nearly opposite the beautiful scat of Sir Edward Sugden, the boat in which they were at work suddenly sunk, and the poor men with it, alas I to rise no more. They have each left a wife, the eldest four, and the other three small children, to deplore their untimely death. Their names are Thomas and William Wheeler, sons of a very old and respected native of the above village. About 7 o'clock on Sunday last a showily dressed young man, evidently intoxicated, rolled into a barber's shop in John-street, City-road, and, throwing himself into the ens. tomer's chair, desired that he might be shaved. While this was going on lie fell fast asleep, and the barber having finished the shaving, considered that he might cut the young gentleman's hair, the luxuriant curls of which were speedily reduced to a very short crop, and having used every endeavour to awaken the young man, who was labouring under the effects of good liquor for the purpose of obtaining payment, without effort, the barber thought it prudent to call in a policeman, and he was ultimately taken to the station house, and yester day morning, when restored to his sober senses, he was in formed of the charge made for shaving and cutting hair. " Cut ting hair "he roared out ; " cutting hair I" and then clasped his head in an agony, and pulled off a wig, which presented a want appearance, being denuded of its curls and fair propor tions. He now broke out into the most ludicrous lamenta tions, and it shortly appeared that he was a journeyman hair dresser at the west end of the town ; that he had made the wig himself, and had given 6s. an ounce for the hair, in order to cut a swell, as he called it, in the shop. The John-street barber was sent for, and a very laughable scene took place be tween them. The journeyman hair-dresser's abuse was un measured, while the other barber declared that neither he nor any one else could have discovered the ." gentleman's" hair to be false. The charge ended in the journeyman hair-dres ser's discharge, and the John-street barber giving up his claim for cutting and shaving, which amounted to 4d. We regret to state that the Hussey, of Swansea, ;Liliphant, foundered in Carnarvon Bay on the 23d ult.

The ancient custom of electing a mock Lord Mayoi at Deptford is about to be 'revived. The custom has been extinct for the last forty years, and was, particularly among the lower orders, a very high holiday. The last "my Lord" i,s now living, and has been prevailed on to enact the same part this year ; and the gravel pits, which enjoy the sobriquet of the " city of Deptford," will be the centre of ope rations. The procession, one of a very grotesque nature, pe• rambulated the bounds of the parish, and imitated, in other respects, with ludicrous perfection. other parochial transac tions. The paraphernalia to give effect to this ceremony are in preparation, and early in June next, it is said, will take place. MECKLENBURG, MARCH 2.—The late Grand Duke, notwithstanding his great age, looked very robust, and his bodily health was excellent ; but nature appears gradually to have refused to exercise its functions, for latterly he hardly took any food, so that his body after death looked as if it were dried up. It was not thought necessary to open it. The present Grand Duke is very popular; he has hitherto made but few changes in the public offices. What excites the most attention here is the approaching marriage of the Prin cess Helen (born January, 1814) with the Duke of Orleans. You may consider this affair as settled. The portraits have already been exchanged, and in the summer there is to be a personal interview at Toplitz. The princess is very sensible, accomplished and agreeable, and may be called handsome ; she is particularly distinguished for her fine expressive eyes, and is in all respects extremely amiable. We most sincerely wish her all happiness in this union, to which she is perfectly entitled.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MARCH 13.—There has been a good deal of business done in flannels to-day ; perhaps rot e have been sold than on any other market-day during the pre' sent year ; but the prices have been extremely low.
