DR. lIAMPDEN. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE, and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and E RLE.) THE QUEEN V. TIIE ARCIIDISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Neither the body of the court nor the galleries were so crowded as yesterday. The Very Rev. the Dean of Hereford occupied, as yesterday, a seat in the jury-box. As soon as the Learned Judges had taken their seats, Mr. BADDELET rose and said he had received a note from his leader, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, stating that he became so indisposed last nig•ht, as to render it neces sary for him to call in a physician. At the time he was taken unwell, he was preparing some notes with reference to the case. Dr. A.ddams was also absent, and it would be for the Court to determine whether the further hearing of the argvments should not be adjourned for a few days, in consequence of the absence of his two leaders. Sir Fitzroy Kelly stated in his note that, if he should be better, he would be in his place at the sitting of the Court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose, and hoped that the arguments would be allowed to proceed notwith standing the indisposition of his Learned Friend. Lord DENMAN (after consulting with the other Learned Judges) said, the consequence is that we must hear the gentlemen who , have been enabled to attend. Mr. M. D. Him then proceeded with his address. He first addressed himself to the sth section of the Act of Henry VIII. It stated that if all the pro ceedings incidental to the election of a bishop were not completed within twenty days after the issuing of letters patent premunire should follow. But if the bishop elect's character, learning, piety, doctrine, or even his legitimacy were to be made matters of inquiry at the confirmation, he might say, without any stretch of imagination, that twenty years might be required from the opposing parties to adduce proofs in support of their opposition ; nay, he might go further, and say that if such inquiries as these were to be permitted after election, they might extend throughout a man's life, and em bitter the whole of his existence, owing to their ha rassing character. It was impossible to imagine any thing more stringent than the requirements of the statute : it clearly shut out all inquiry. The act of confirmation was merely a ministerial act, one of a subsidiary nature, and being merely formal, was of no moment at all. The Reformation was young when the Act was passed ; and Burnet, in his famous work on the Reformation, stated that Legh, who succeeded Cardinnl Wolsey, was well known to the King to be addicted to the Church of Rome, and to be secretly one of the partizans of the Pope ; and the Act, therefore, was passed to vest the sole gift of nominating bishops in the Crown, and to abolish the interference of the Pope in the election of these ecclesiastical officers. He now came to deal with the question, whether a mandamus would lie, and whether the matter to which it had reference justified such a proceeding ' • and, further, whether the parties, who had made this application, were competent to do so. The subject was an ecclesiastical one, and could not be taken cognizance of by this Court. The Court, no doubt, could take cognizance of an application by the bishop of a diocese, to issue a mandamus calling upon the judge of an ecclesiastical court to show cause why he refused to grant the probate of a will; but the doctrine laid down by Lord Holt, in the case of " Long v. the Bishop of St. David's," reported by Raymond, was to the effect that this Court could not interfere in the business of one of those courts whilst it simply dealt with matters purely spiritual. Mr. Justice PArrissosi said the case cited was an application for a menden - 4gs, calling upon the judge of one of those courts to show cause why he refused to grant the probate of a will. The case before the Court, the Learned Counsel would see, went further than that. _ _ _ Mr. M. D. HILL went on to say, that in the same way it could not be held that a person living in a certain diocese could oppose the election of a ma gistrate. Lord DENMAN said the Court had decided, in the case of the borough of Oxford, that a burgess could oppose the election of a mayor or magistrate. Mr. liter, having referred to the two books men tioned in the affidavits, went on to say, that an exa mination into soundness of doctrine was nowhere mentioned, and he should as soon expect to hear of the Court being called to institute an investigation whether a bishop had committed murder or not. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said an inquiry by a coroner's inquest might ensue in such a case as that assumed, without the interference of the Court. Mr. lime said the finding of a coroner's jury, or of a bill by a grand jury, were not judgments; they were no more than statements, open to further and higher investigation. The charge of Dr. Hampden having written in favour of the abolition of some of the forms set forth in the Common Prayer-book, was one which might he brought against laymen as well as clergymen, and was subject to ecclesiastical review and ecclesiastical punishment. When an attorney of the Court was charged with misconduct, their Lord ships often directed that he should be prosecuted ; and the charges against Dr. Hampden being offences which might he taken cognizance of by an ecclesias tical court, he was at a loss to understand why a mandamus had been applied for. Dr. Hampden was charged with illustrating the injurious effects of dogmatism. Dr. Johnson, a high Churchman, and a great authority, said a dogmatist was a " minis terial teacher, a positive asserter, and a bold advancer of principles ;" and Watts stated that a dogmatist was nearly allied to a bigot, and was not unlikelly to become a " bloody persecutor."—(A laugh.) Even the University of Oxford had admitted that dogma of the divine right of kings to govern wrong, and it had been fashionable to compel millions to follow the faith of one man. It was therefore difficult to definc what dogmatism meant in things spiritual, and was only in this case defined in a shadowy and con sequently unsatisfactory manner; and could they on such grounds issue a writ of mandamus The Learned Counsel cited cases in which wrifs of mandamus had been refused, because the subjects to which they had reference were not sufficiently defined. If they made the rule absolute, instead of doing good they would do great injustice, inasmuch as the inquiry sought might extend through Dr. Hampden's life, and keep the see vacant during the whole of flat time. But there were other grounds for the consideration of the Court. Had the parties opposing no peculiar interests which they wisLied to serve by what they had done ? This was a question of so much solemnity that they could ally it with the mere exhibition of personal or vindictive feelings. Would no danger ensue—no injury be caused from making such an investigation before the populace in tiow Church ? They had but to look into the histo rians to find the injury which had resulted to the people by the fomenting of Church differences. Let them bear in mind the time when oyster women locked up their oysters and trudged to the churches to cry " No bishops"—(Laughter)—and drawing a moral lesson from the past, avoid the repetition of such exhibitions in future. Instead of aiding in fomenting these unhappy differences, the Court should not allow the minds of the clergy to be distracted by matters of this kind, but to be devoted to their minis trations, the superintendence of schools, and the im provement of the condition of the people; by doing which they would accomplish more good than much of their criminal law. Such proceedings B 3 these were likely to breathe new life into old forms, long since fallen into dissuetude, and the removal of which could do no good to the Church. Dr. BA YFORD followed, and in the first instance read an elaborate pessage from " Blackstone's Com mentaries," stating, after reviewing the old system, that the right of nomination was solely invested in the Crown. Ayline in his " Parrergom" corrobo rated this view, as well as other writers. The Crown had possessed the power at an earlier time, but all the text writers of eminence agreed that the prerogative of nominating bishops was finally and solely invested in the Crown by the statute of Henry VIII. This reasoning was unimpeached and unimpeachable. There was not a single word in that statute crippling the favour of the Crown. The Learned Counsel then cited authorities to show that no direction to inquire into the fitness of the person commanded to be elected accompanied the letters patent, and contended that the whole proceedings were merely formal anti immaterial. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) A curious instance of the sagacity of the fox oc curred on Monday, in the course of a run with the Duke of Rutland's hounds, when reynard, finding himself more hardly pressed than met his views of self-preservation, jumped on the wall at Crorton Park, and after running on the top for some distance, gently slipped down be tween the wall and the ivy with which it is overgrown. The pack cleared the wall and the fox together, and were immediately at fault, and all the efforts of the huntsman by casting his hounds round in every direction were useless. The trick was observed by a man who was lulling turnips in a field adjoining; but he had humanity enough to let the hounds get clear away before he disturbed the lodger in the ivy, who will doubtless afford another day's sport. Anmissios or Soucrrons.—The Master of the Rolls has appointed Friday, Jan. 28, at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane, at a quarter-past three o'clock in the afternoon, for swearing solicitors.

The new volume of the illusical Treasury is em bellished with a full-length portrait of Jenny Lind, in the character of Andna. In its musical contents are many of the favourite songs of that celebrated chanteuse, among others, her admired Swedish melodies, with the original words in Swedish, and also with English songs adapted to the music, for the benefit of persons unacquainted with the Swedish language. Many of the songs in Robert le Diable and La Figlia dcl Reggimento are also to be found in the 7 rea , ury, - among others, the famous "Rataplan." The remaining pieces contained in this volume are of very diversified character, varying from "grave to gay, from lively to severe." Poems by Mrs. Crawford, Charles Mackay, Colley Grattan, and others, set to music by Henry Russell ; that terrible, thrilling poem, the " Erl King," by Scott and Goethe ; sacred music, old ballads, humorous pieces, scotch songs, and vocal and instrumental music of every variety are to be met with here. We transcribe the words of one of the songs, for the benefit of such of our readers as may not meet with the Musical Treasury : " LITTLE FOOLS AND GREAT ONES. " BY CHARES MACKAY. " When at the social board you sit And puss around the wine, Remember though abuse is vile, That use may be divine ; That lleav'n in kindness gave the grape To cheer both great and small; — That little fools will drink too much, But great ones not at all. " And when in youth's too fleeting hours You roam the earth alone, ♦nd have not sought some loving heart That you may make your own, Remember woman's priceless tt orth, And think when pleasures pall, That little fools will love too much, And great ones not at all. " And if a friend deceived you once Absolve poor human kind, — Nor rail against your fellow-men, With malice in your mind ; But, in your daily intercourse, Bemember, lest you fall, That little fools confide too much, And great ones not at all. " In work or pleasure, love or drink, Your rule be still the same— Your work not toil, your pleasures pure, Your love a steady flame ; Your drink not mad'ning, but to cheer, So shall your bliss not pall, For little fools enjoy too much, But great ones not at all." DR. JOHNSON'S OPINION OF A CONOR " Perhaps," said a gentleman, talking to Dr. Johnson on Church preferments, " after all, a conge delire has not the force of a positive command, but implies only a strong recommendation." " Very true, Sir," says John son, " but such a strong recommendation as it I shou;tl throw you out of a three-pair of stairs window, and recommend you to fall softly to the ground." Stephen Ford, the old man who was committed for trial on a charge of being concerned in the will forgery case which excited so ninth interest in Bath a few months ago, died, after a lingering illness from age and infirmity, in the Bath gaol, on Sunday night.--Bath Chronicle. 111`CAISE.-Up to this time no official communica tion has been received as to whether M'Cabe will be discharged from custody or not. We (Doncaster Ga zette) may, however, observe, that in addition to the declarations Reid has made relative to the innocence of M'Calse, he recently made another statement in a letter to the Rev. Edward O'Neil, of Dewsbury, to the effect that no other person whatever was concerned in the murder. RBLIASE OF THE BOT JONES FROM HER MAJESTY'S SERTICE.—It m ill be remembered that the boy Jones, who on different occasions found his way into Bucking ham Palace, and remained there a considerable time, was disposed of as a sailor in one of her Majesty's ships. It appears that his conduct has been favourably noticed, and that he has behaved himself with great propriety. Some time since his father made an application to the Lords of the Admit alty that the boy mi g ht be allowed to return home. This request was acceded to, and he was discharged from the ship Harlequin, lying at Smyrna, and furnished with a free passage home. Ile arrived in England a few days ago, and has now returned to his father, who resides in Westminster. A SILVER CRADLE..--It has generally been thought a great piece of good fortune to be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth ; but it appears from ancient records of Liverpool that a child of a Mayor of Liver pool born during his mayoralty, is entitled to a still greater piece of good fortune—a silver cradle. The present mayor has got an accession to his family, and hints that he insists on his rights. We wish ho may get them.—Liverpool Imes'. ... ! .0. .••••• TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY '25, 1846 IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (From the Herald.) Cape of Good Hope papers to the 26th of Novem ber have reached us, which announce the melancholy deaths of five British officers, who fell into the hands Of the Kafirs, by whom they were most cruelly butchered and mutilated. From the few particulars which have come to hand, we learn that these unfor tunate gentlemen left the camp at head-quarters on the Komga (weonust say imprudently, having no attendants, and merely carrying with them a double barrelled gun each), in order to gratify their curio sity with a magnificent view of the surrounding country, which was to be obtained from a lofty rock or mountain, some miles distant. Night approached, and this little band had not re turned to the camp. Doubt and anxiety immediately arose in the minds of their brother officers, and several of them went in search of their missing comrades, when, at break of day they discovered their bodies, brutally hacked and disfigured. Two Kafirs lay dead at a short distance from them. The struggle had no doubt been severe ; but overwhelm ing numbers, it was believed, had alone completed the frightful tragedy. The names of the unfortunate sufferers are—Captain w. L. Y. Baker, Lieutenant Faunt, and Ensign Burnop, of the 73d Regiment ; Dr. N. S. Campbell, Surgeon of that corps; and AssistantLSurgeon Loch, of the 7th Dragoon Guards; who were buried in one grave, amidst the tears and griefs of all assembled on that mournful occasion. Great preparations were making at Cape Town for tho reception of the new Governor, Sir Harry Smith, whose arrival was daily expected The houses of the inhabitants were to be generally illuminated, and every mark of respect would be paid to this distin guished hero upon his assuming the reins of govern ment. tier Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, Commander Radcliffe, which left Portsmouth on Sept. 8, for the Mauritius, with the second battalion of the .sth Fusi liers on board, arrived in Simon's Bay on the 16th Nov. And on the 20th of the same month, the Elizvbeth Ainslie, barque, T. C. Cahu, from Calcutta to London, put into the bay in consequence of the majority of the crew having refused to work the ship any longer. (From the Greham'z Town Journal, Nov. 20.). TUESDIY.—The following distressing information has been received from Waterloo Bay : " Yesterday (Monday) evening, two men of the 91st namely, Sergeant D. M'Kay, No. 2, Company, and Private M'Donald went out unarmed, leading a horse to cut some forage at the general's old camp. While thus employed two Kafirs, armed with guns, sprung upon them. M'Kay immediately closed with one of them, but before he could rench the gun from him it went off, the ball entering his abdomen. He succeeded, however, in taking the gun, and floor ing the Kafir with the butt•end of it. The otter Kafir then fired but missed. M'Kay then handed the gun to M'Donald, telling him to defend himself, and he would gallop in and send him assistance. On making this report a party was sent out but were too late to save M'Donald ; the body being pierced through the chest, and through the abdomen in two places. ' M'Kay's wound is dangerous, the ball having entered on the left side, and passed towards the spine, but it is not thought that the intestine is laid open. He is most carefully attended to by Dr. Munro." DEATH OF FIVE BRITISH OFFICERS. WEDNESDAY.—lnformation has just reached town from Kafirland of the death by the hands of the Ka firs of five British officers, namely :—Capt. W. L. Y. Baker, Lieut. Fount, and Ensign Burnop, of the 73d Regiment, Dr. N. S. Campbell, Surgeon of that corps, and Assistant• Surgeon Loch, of the 7th Dra goon Guards. From the various accounts which have come in of this distressing affair, it appeared that the head quarter's camp is on the Komga, about ten miles west the Kye, Colonel Somerset being in advance and occupying a position commanding the Kye drift. About seven miles from the general's camp there is a conspicuous rock or mountain, having a most splen did view of the country, and to gratify their curiosity these officers proceeded thither on Saturday, without any escort or attendant, merely taking each a double barrelled gun. They were six in number, but Lieut. Littlehales, Y 3, labouring under a severe cold, returned after riding abbut five miles. The party reached the summit of the above rock without any obstruction, it would appear ; but it is also clear that their move ments must have been narrowly watched by the the crafty savage. No apprehension wes felt until Saturday evening, and finding they had not re turned by eight o'clock, a number of officers started in quest of the missing party. The night having far advanced when they reached the fatal spot, and deem ing it imprudent to ascend the rock, they fired several rounds, but hearing no response they returned to the camp, and about midnight a strong party, con sisting of four companies of the 73d, were ordered to renew the search. Shortly after daylight the objects of their search were discovered—dead, stripped, and savagely muti lated. From appearances it is conjectured that the unfortunate deceased must have been attacked on passing a certain valley, but that, on endeavouring to escape, their retreat had been completely cut off, and they became easy victims to overwhelming num bers. The spectacle presented was frightful. A letter before us states e -••• /sir. Burnop had three balls in his head, Cap• tarn Baker was stabb e d and mutilated in several places; poor Dr. Campbell must have suffered greatly, the flesh being actually pared from his body ; the naked body of Lieutenant Vaunt had been apparently flogged with chain, their eyes had been scooped out —their teeth extracted—and d aeted—and the head of Assistant- Surgeon Loch been severed from the body and carried away. The latter, to some littl e it is supposed, was dragged distance from his companions, to a smooth flat stone and there beheaded. All were stripped, and their remains left on the spots where dead they fell. The bodies of two Kafirs lay at no great distance, killed, as is assumed, by these officers of at the first moment attack. The poor fellows were buried on Sunday in one grave, and there was not a dry eye present from the General downwards:' On Sunday morning Colonel Somerset rode over mp ' to the General's ca where he was in time to wit ness the return of the detachment with the remains of these unfortun a t e to scour th officers, and it was a t o nce de terminede country around the scene of this awful tra ge d y dispatched to Colonl Orders were immediately Somerset's camp for detach ments, consisting o f under Captain Hare 130 Cape Mounted Riflemen, 300 of Captain Hogg's levy, and 100 Boers, to move towards the scene of this mas sacre—an order w hi ch the whole force reached was so promptly obeyed that General's camp the a point a few miles from the 7 s 3 a d me night. Here they were joined by 200 of th e Guards under Sir , r. troop of the 7th Dragoon Harry Darrel, and some Kat River H o ttentots, the wh o l e under the guidance of Lieut. Bisset. The General, Sir George Berkeley, with his shortly afterwards divii e daylight. The force was (ed ; 100 men of the 73d, under Major Pickney, Captain Hogg, moving , and 100 Provisionals, under across the right shoulder of the mountain, while 100 /10 of Hogg's levy, and 150 Kat of the 73d under Cap tain Brown, with 1 liver levy, ascended its left o shoulder. In the meantime, Colonel Somerset with the Boers worked to the extreme right endeavouring to effect the passage of the river below the bend, but which was found to be impracticable,and to the top of the ri d ge , While the he then returned general ascended the face of the mou nt ain , taking the summit, so a s to command up Isis position on a fine and distinct view of all the operations below, j lion many hundr eds of cattl a and From this eleva- Kafirs were seen, the latter having taken up a • most favourable posi tion in a large b end of th e river, forming a penin sula, only asscessibl e b y a narrow r ,ek y ridge, to reach which it was neces sar y to cla mber down some shelv ing rocks, so precipitous a s to be quite impractica ble for horsemen. At this point was seen that the enemy was dete rmined to make :t mi" tt s and ; on which the General ordere d Lieutena nt nald, with a party of the Cape C or p s, to move rapidly face of the mountai n, and, if possible, down the le, force the po sition. This detachment was the first that reached the point, but was soon joined by Captains Hogg and two Owen's Provisionals , followed b y companies of the 72d, under Captain Brown, who came up in fine skirmishing order, and held the pass while the Pro visionals and Cape Co r p s were sco uring and skirmishing with t he enem y . The tb e peninsula, Kafirs showed great determination , but nothin g could resist the impetuosity of our troops, who rushed fearlessly over before then, every difficulty, and drove the enemy wherever seen. The r esults of the engagement were 23 Kafirs killed, and at leas t double that number wounded; while the only casualties on our side were one sergeant of the Pand Provisional killed,one troop horse. Upwards of 300 he ad of cattle and several guns were captured from the Kafirs, :140 two of the horses belonging to the deceased office; taken in the tight (Captain Baker' t s) tl . One was . the other came into tie camp badly wou n ded in t h e head. The Kafirs succeeded in swimming a large drove of oxen across the Kye. The gallantry and activity of Col. Somerset throughout the affair were conspicuous. Colonel Somerset was to attem p t th the passage of the Kye on the 18th. (From the Zaid Africaan of N0v.22.) The following address has been placed for signa tnre in the Commercial Exchange, and will be pre sented to Sir Harry Smith, after he shall have been sworn into office:— "To his Excellency Lieutenant General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., G.C.8., Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, &c., &c. " We, the undersigned, merchants and other inhabi tants of Cape Town, seize the earliest opportunity of presenting to you, Sir, our hearty congratulations on the safe return of yourself and your excellent lady to this colony, where your past services, and her lady ship's kind attention, have been, and ever will be, re membered with gratitude and affection. "It is a source of pride and gratification to the colonists to possess the high privilege of having the hero of Aliwal for their governor, and to enjoy the advantage of Sir Harry Smith's talents, promptitude, and experience in the management of their border policy, on the retirement of the distinguished and indefatigable officer whom he has been appointed to succeed. " Although, Sir, you will find our barbarous neighbours a more formidable enemy than when you taught them at once to fear and respect you, yet we confidently rely upon the abilities of your head and heart for enabling you eventually to combine the permanent peace and safety of the frontier, with the progressive moral and social improvement of the na tive tribes of Southern Africa. " We hail your return amongst us as the harbin ger of better days, and we fervently pray that your Excellency and Lady Smith may live many happy years, and enjoy richly the favour of a merciful God, the well-earned rewards of your country, and the esteem and affection of the people of the Cape of Good Hope." _ News from the headquarters' camp, near the Kye, is up to the 13th instant. The troops had not crossed the river, but had captured about 150 head of cattle and killed four of the enemy, by whom some 30 or 40 had been killed to prevent their being captured. A pontoon bridge was in course of construction. The Gaika Kafirs were very troublesome in their forays upon the located Kafirs (Slambles) about King William s- Town, from whom they were continually stealing cattle. WILSON'S SONGS OF SCOTLAND. Last night, at the Music Hall, an immense assem blage congregated to hear Wilson's "Hour wi' Burns," and many parties were obliged to take seats on the orchestra. " Scotia's Minstrel" was in full force. We never heard him in finer voice, nor did he ever draw so strongly on the feelings of his audience. The selection was chiefly from the songs of Burns, and it was pleasing to witness two of the sons of the immortal bard listening to the strains of him who is acknowledged all over the world as the "lyrical poet of nature." It would be idle now to particularise the different songs which Wilson gives in his own inimitable style, but we cannot pass over the opening song of the evening, i" There was a lad was born in Kyle," which at once warmed the hearts of his audience. "John Anderson, m`• Jo," was sung with such touching tenderness that bir. 'Wilson was obliged to give it a second time. " The De'il 's awa wi' the Exciseman" set the audience in hearty laughter, and sing it again he was compelled to do. The song of the night, however, was that splendidly written effusion, which Burns penned a short time before h© terminated his earthly career—a song which in its character and its probable effects may be likened to the most powerful song ever written by Dibdin, " Does haughty Gaul invasion threat ?" Wilson gave this song with great effect; indeed, the audience seemed roused es masse, and the excitement was so great that feet and hands joined together to have the song once more. We have often chronicled the agreeable character of Mr. Wilson's entertainments. His style of entertainment was introduced by him seven years since, and the attraction remains undi minished. We need add no more. GRAND OPERA.—THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. —The following noble and distinguished company honoured the representations last week:—His Highness the Conde de Montemolin anti suite, her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Bedford, the Marquis of Clanri carde, the Viscount and Viscountess Dillon, the Vis count and Viscountess Maidstone, Lord Ward, Lord Auckland, Lord Enfield and family, Lord Willoughby, Lord and Lady Holland, Lady Russell, Lady Lawley, Lady Macfarlane, Lady Caroline Macfarlane, Lady Paulen, Lady Wood, Lady Ponsonby, Lady Neville, Sir Charles and Lady de Vaux, Sir Hesketh and Lady Fleetwood, Sir 11. Meux, Sir Wm. Herries, Sir William Upton, the Baron Rothschild, the Hon. Stuart Wortley, the Hon. Mr. Ashley, General Mercer and party, Major and Mrs. Gage and party, Colonel Rowan, M. Gore, Esq., M.P., W. Delafield, Esq., Mr. Salomon', &c. HARMONIC HALL, SOUTHWARK • BRIDGE-ROAD.— Recently several benefits have been taken at the above favourite place of entertainment in furtherance of the objects of various local philanthropic associations, in affording relief to the deserving poor during the winter months, and it is satisfactory to add that, aided by tho liberality of Mr. R. Preece, the greatest advantages have followed. Yesterday a new pantomine wag produced, and by the success of its first representation a long run may fair!) be predicted. Among other novelties to be produced on the 3d proximo (the ben( fit night of Mr. Pearce), are two entirely new national melodies, both the words and the music of which have been written by an old Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Victory, who has served under the immortal Nelson. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THOMAS.— We have to record the demi3e of Lieutenant-Gruel-al Thomas—one of the surviving officers of the first American war. He expired on the 20:11 instant, at the vicarage of Westleigh, near Bideford, aged 88, huving been connected with the army for a period of 71 years. DEATH OF GENERAL VINCENT.—This venerable and distinguished officer died on the 21st instant, at his residence in Pall-mall, after a short illness, aged 83, and after a service of nearly 68 years. He entered the Army, as Ensign, in 1781. In January, 1836, he re ceived the Colonelcy of the 69th (Lincolnshire) Foot. The deceased officer served for several years in the West Indies, and was at the taking of St. Domingo. He subsequently took part in the expedition to the Helder, and also in that to Copenhagen, under Sir Hyde Parker. His next services were during the American %al% We have to announce the decease of Robert Eden Duncombe Shafto, Esq., which event took place on Wednesday last, at the family seat, Whitworth-park, in the county of Durham. Mr. Shafto, who was in his 72d year, is succeeded by his son, Mr. R. D. Shaft°, M.P. for the Northern Division of Durham. The de ceased gentleman was returned to Parliament for the city of Durham in 1804, and served the office of High Sheriff in 1842. Mr. Shafto was a Whig in politics, but never took any very active part in public affairs. He was an excellent landlord, and was highly esteemed in all the relations of life. His habits were those of a country gentleman, and, though he lived in compara tive retirement, his exemplary character was held in the highest respect in the county of Durham, and his death will be much lamented by all within the circle of his friendship and courteous and benevolent attention. MR. BUCKINGHAM'S LECTURES.—From the papers that reach us, we observe that Mr. Buckingham where ever he is visiting, gives the utmost satisfaction. His eminent fame, as one of the most widely travelled and observant men of the" age, as an old and enthusiastic social and moral reformer, and as a voluminous con tributor to the press, has everywhere preceded and secured for him a welcome. Repeatedly, in his present tour in Scotland, ho has been publicly feted, and so late as Monday last a public breakfast was given him at Stirling.—Ayrshire Advertiser. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF MAIL SERVICE BETWEEN HAVRE AND NEW YORK.—The following notice has been issued at the General Post-office : "Information has been received from the Director- General of the French Post office, that it has been found necessary temporarily to suspend the packet service, recently established between Havre and New York. No letters, &c., will, therefore, be transmitted from this country for dispatch by this line of packets until further notice." ------- Tam Dune or BUCEINGRAM.—It is rumoured that the Irish estates of his Grace are about to be sold. They aro of considerable extent, comprising no less than 25,000 statute acres, and are situate in the counties of Westmeath, Clare, Longford, and the Queen's oounty. They will be brought to the hammer in April next in Dublin.—Mark lane Express. LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM, CLArToN.—Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the governors of this institu tion, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Mr. J. Capel presided. The Rev. C. Mackenzie, M.A., read the report, which stated that there were at present 390 children under the protection of the society; making the total number of orphans received within the walls of the institution since its establishment, 1,689, and it was gratifying to state that not one had fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic. Amongst the benefactors to the institution during the last half-year, was " A Friend," 1,0001. The financial statement showed that the receipts had been from all sources 10,0202, while the expenditure exceeded that sum by 4001. DISPENSARY FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CUEST.—Yesterday the first general meeting of the subscribers and friends of this excellent institution, which was established on the 25th of October last, for the purpose of providing out-door advice and medicine for the poor afflicted with pulmonary consumption and diseases of the chest, was held at the Dispensary, 26, Margaret-street, Cavendish square. W. T. Hudson, Esq., the secretary, read the report , which stated that the committee had sufficient proofs to show that the objects of the charity had not failed to be appreciated by the poor. The number of patients treated in the dispensary since its commencement in October last, was 151; visits made by patients, 704; patients visited at their own houses, 15; visits to patients at their own houses, 50. Total number of o rt r i e en in t a s in t i r n e g ate ( d m , cured, 39; relieved, 19; died, 164; the books, 109. The balance showed the receipts to have been 1281., and the expenses 2291., leaving the institution upwards of 100/. in debt. As a set off against this, however, there was 44/. due to the dispensary. PROFESSIONAL NATIONALITY.--CUriollhly enough all the appointments held by the late Mr. Liston, the surgeon, have been filled up by 6cotchmen. Professor Syme, of Edinburgh, succeeds the deceased at the University College Hospital ; Mr. Arnott, another Sootchman, occupies the chair at the Court of Examiners, hitherto filled by Mr. Liston ; while Professor Fergus son, of King's College, a third Scotchinan, is appointed Surgeon to the Scottish Hospital, in the room of the deceased. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY. - The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning on the Eastern Terrace and slopes. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, took walking and pony exercise to•day in the Little Park. her Royal highness the Princess Helena was also taken for an airing. Prince Albert — enjoyed the sport of shooting this forenoon. His Royal Highness was attended by Sir Edward Bowater, General IVetnyss, General Bowles, and Colonel Bouverie. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel gians, attended by the Lady in Waiting on the Queen, the Gentleman in Waiting on the King., his Excellency Monsieur Van de Weyer (Belgian Minis ter), the Earl of Norton, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty, and Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting to Prince Albert, arrived at the Castle this afternoon, on a visit to the Queen. The august party travelled from town to the Slough station by a special train, on the Great Western Railway, and proceeded from the station to the Castle in the Queen's carriages and four, The royal dinner party this evening included their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Lady in Waiting on the Queen of the Belgians, the Gentleman in Waiting on the King of the Belgians, his Excellency Monsieur Van de Weyer, and Lord George Lennox, in attendance on the King. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and his Serene Highness Prince Fre derick of Hesse, left Kew yesterday morning, to honour the Marquis of Exeter with a visit. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, and Mr. Pressly, Secretary to the Board, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day. Mr. Brotherton had also an interview yester day with the Right Hon. Baronet, at his official residence in Downing -street. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Ceylon. THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. Their Majesties and suite arrived at the Brick layers' Arms station of the South-Eastern Railway at about half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, by a special train, which performed the distance from Dover to London in two hours, in the face of a fall of snow. The Earl of Morton, Lord George Lennox, and his Excellency the Belgian Minister, awaited their Majesties, and on landing conducted them to the railway station, where they were received by Mr. M'Gregor, the chairman of the South-Eastern Rail way; Mr. M. L. Pritchard, the deputy chairman; the Honourable Mr. Byng, one of the board ; and Mr. Walter, the chief superintendent of the railway. Their Majesties being anxious to reach Windsor, their stay in Dover was only for a few minutes. The royal party crossed from Calais in her Ma jesty's steamer Garland, Captain Smithett. The harbour presented a very gay appearance as she entered ; and on her arriving alongside the pier the royal salute from the heights and the military recep tion added much to the spirit of the landing, which was witnessed by a large concourse of visitors. Their Majesties left the Bricklayers' Arms terminus for Windsor immediately on the train's arrival, but not without expressing their appreciation of the ra pidity and ease with which the royal train had tra velled. The engine was driven by Mr. William iernihough, assistant locomotive superintendent. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. Very little business was done on the Derby, nor, except in two instances, were the movements of any importance. It will be seen that in one instance— Keratin—the betting showed a marked improvement; and in the other—Besborough—a decline; 4,000 to 100 was laid agat the latter in the early part of the day, and 1,000 to 30 at a later period, 35 to 1 being, to the best of our judgment, the " market" price at the close—two points more than were taken last week. The Chester Cup took a more copious range than of late, and elicited a decidedly favourable feeling towards Keleshe, Jonathan Wild, Cracow, Giselle, and Rufus; several others were backed at the odds returned, but not to any amount. No one would advance upon 20 to 1 eget Blaze. 600 to 400 was laid on the field agst twenty-three ; 100 on the field agst thirty (the fielders in a majority), and even on the field apt thirty-five, bar Blaze.

Llis Majesty continues the same as yesterday. BRUSSELS, HAMBURGH, AND FLANDERS PAPERS. BaussELs, Jaw. 23.—The Chamber in the sitting to-day terminated its discussion of the budget of justice. The Sections have terminated the exami nation of the project of law relative to the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation concluded. between Bel gium and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It appears from a report received by the Govern ment from the Belgian Legation at Rio de Janeiro, that under the regime established by the Imperial decree of the Ist of October, 1847, Belgian vessels shall enjoy nautical privileges at Brazil, whether they come directly from' Belgium or from other countries. CUXHAVEN, JAN. 20.—There is much ice to-day in the channel. AALBORG, JAN. 12.—The Fyord is increasingly filled with ice ; at Aggersund, it is said that the ice is now crossed by foot passengers. Yesterday many wild geese appeared here, which is regarded as a prognostic of a severe winter. MANIIEIM, JAN. 16.—The Rhine has begun to freeze, and is covered with ice both above and below our city. Last night a brilliant auroea korealis was observed here. NI7REMBURG, JAN. 18.—The prices of corn are everywhere declining, but the orders from the great markets on the Rhine are kept back, as speculators still hope to obtain better prices for their stores. This fall in our market Hill also tell upon the markets of South Bavaria. Wheat was sold at 17 to 18 florins ; barley, 11 florins ; oats, 6 florins. WURTEMBURG, JANUARY 19.—We are happy to state that his Majesty, although not able to accord an entire remission of pardon to the insurrectionists in May last, has been graciously pleased to grant pardon to several individuals, the peculiar circum stances of whose cases rendered this step admissible. They were also relieved from the very considerable costs attending their case. VIENNA, Jest. 12.—The march of the troops to Lombardy has been accelerated. The Archduke Charles Ferdinand has set off for Milan, and will speedily_ be followed by his brother William. ST. YETERSBURGII, JAN. 13. The suspicions respecting the arrest of the Frankfort Consul, J. C. Plitt, are unhappily confirmed. This gentleman, who has been generally esteemed for his integrity, ban unfortunately made an ill use of his position as director of several companies, and abused the trust placed in him by his colleagues. This has come to light during late transactions in the shares of the Salamander Fire Insurance Company, of which the Consul was the chief director, in co-operation with Generals A. and P., as also Mr. C. It appears that he embezzled money received for shares from abroad, that he sold, by promise, shares which did not exist, that he transferred shares which did not belong to him, and that he made private use of the revenue of the company, in consequence of which there is 4 deficit of 600,000 silver roubles. His arrest took place at the special command of his Majesty the Em peror. A meeting of the shareholders is fixed for the 16th, the result of which is expected with great anxiety. It appears that Mr. IV., stockbroker, lately deceased, was much involved in the matter. BERLIN, JAN. 21.—T0-day, about one o'clock, the residence of the Privy Councillor, Count Von Radern, took fire.

The precaution that the Commission for the Liqui dations of the National Debt should obtain additional means by an arrosement appears likely to be carried into effect very soon. The receipts up to the 12th January amount to 900,000 fls., therefore nearly the eleventh part of the whole sum required. The arrosement already works most favourably upon the Three-and a-Half per Cent. Bonds, Ns hich during the last eight days have risen two per cent. On the 15th the receipts amounted to above a mil lion. At our markets to-day the prices of provisions fell considerably; mean price of wheat, 11.20 55 ; barley, 41.12 26 ; oats, 41.5 48; 11,211 bushels were sold out of 14,021.

BERLIN, JAN. 17.—This day, at ten o'clock, the sitting of the committee of the delegates of the States met in the Council Chamber of the Police. M. Von Bodelschwingh, accompanied by the other Ministers of State, repaired to the Chamber. He informed the assembly that his Majesty had appointed his Excel lency Prince Solins-Hohensolins Lich Marshal of the Diet, and Colonel ,Von Rochon as his deputy, and that his Majesty had farther been pleased to appoint M. Von Bodelschwingh High Commissioner, and that as such he was delegated to open this meeting in the name of his Majesty. Ile reminded them that the main object of their assembling was the final reac tion of the projected penal code, and especially for comparing the views and wishes of the whole nation, as expressed at the different provincial diets, respecting the former project. The examination of the pro ject of this code was most important, especially as it was intended to remove the anomaly, so long and justly felt, respecting the inequality of . punishment of one and the same crime in various parts of the kingdom ; because now the same deed is punished as a serious transgression in one province, while in another it remains wholly unpunished. The new code of law is intended to remove it.—Brussels Papers, Jan. 19. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BAUSSZLIO, JAN. 21. A c tual Debt, 2% per Cent ••••• • • • • • •• • Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent ...... •.
