Towards the conclusion of this memorable year of revolutions, it is a circumstance in no degree of small significance to find the SOVEREIGN of England coming into her own courts of law as a supplicant for justice. No more felicitous evidence of the elaborate, gigantic, and yet infinitely delicate structure of our Constitution could by any possibility have been af forded. It is an incident not unworthy of comme moration, even amidst the astounding events which are now either agonizing or paralyzing the nations of Christendom. It illustrates the harmonious work ing of our system of government in a manner beau tiful beyond all expression. And, beyond this, it contrasts with singular vividness the exquisite tran quillity enjoyed by thepopulation of this country and the dismal panic which has descended like a rain of fire and blood upon the distracted millions of the continent. While the other dynasties of Europe are shuddering in their palaces, the captives of a mob of re volutionists ! or are flying in dismay before the threats of an unarmed democracy, the fugitives from a race in furiated by evil passions or by the recollections of despotism ! the dynasty which has presided over the destinies of Great Britain since the last political con vulsion of 1688, still reposes, in the persons of its living representatives, amidst the pomps of Windsor, agitated only by a slight invasion of the roya' privacy, and by the purloining of a few etchings from the portfolios of the royal cabinet. The occasion is too remarkable not to demand the comments of the journalist. The coincidence is too intimately blended with the remembrance of our peculiar felicity as a people not to deserve at our hands some passing allusions—allusions addressed, be it observed, immediately to our fellow -countrymen themselves, in the language of pride and congratula tion. These sentiments do not originate, by any means, from the simple fact that the Court of St. James's is flourishing in unmolested luxury, while almost all the other Courts of the eastern hemisphere have been filled with mourning and dismay. We exult, not because Queen VICTORIA passes her life in the enjoyment of domestic quietude, now at Osborne Rouse, now at Wi n d sor C as tl e , an d now aga i n at Buckingha m P a l ace — wh i le LOUIS PHILIPPE exists in gorgeous obscurity at Clarew ont - while Louis of Bavari a i s f orced to an ignominious ' abdication ; while FREDERICK NVinuiaal tp remains in sullen anxiety at Sans Sou c i while v; "While c AND dwindles int o an ex - Emperor at 011 mutz RLO ALDBILTO retains his crown w onl y b y i gras o P ii in:Wheaies sword with perp e t ual vigilance;while po i\l r r en f t or the ingrat i tude of the Romans in hi s b an i sh while FERDINAND of Naples rul es th e two astieGiliael:ai ; m es with th e execration of all save the depraved Lazza while MARIA DA GLORIA beholds the bulwarks f her throne crumbling away in the c a b a l s of hero statesmen; while ISABELLA of Arragon and Castile hears in her orgies at Madrid the rumoured triumph s of her enemies in Navarre and Catalonia! Our exultation at the contrast afforded by the position of affairs in this country, and in the other countries of Europe, arises, not from the superior fortunes of her Britannic MAJESTY, but rather from the circumstance that with the happiness of the Monarch of this vast empire is secured the happiness and prosperity of the British multitude. Yes ! it is this consideration which overflows our heart with emotions of gratitude and renews our admiration for the wisdom embodied in our Constitution. Other reflections, arising from the case of "His Royal Highness the PRINCE ALBERT V. WILLIAM STUANGE and Others," would be sufficient to impart an interest to the trial this day taking place i❑ the Court of His Honour the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT B , L`OE. To the lovers of forensic eloquence and LTA erudition, to the admirers of the prose and poetic fictions of contemporary literature, the report fur nished in another portion of this evening's impression will present a variety of attractions; but to all classes of the community, without exception, the hint therein afforded of the lull, the Eecurity, and the thriving freedom of England, compared with the terror, the uncertainty, and the suffering prevalent throughout the continent, will be accepted with feel ings as peculiar as they are unprecedented. The in cident reminds us in a manner, than which nothing THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA'Y EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1848. could be more conspicuous, that despotism is, with us, not only obsolete in every particular, but that the last vestiges of feudality have been long since scattered abroad to the winds. Where MART would have punished VICTORIA sues. Where Prince PHILIP would have obtained satisfac tion by means of the thumbscrew and the Scaven ger's (laughter, Prince ALBERT demands protection by an affidavit taken before the Court of Chan cery. The old regime has passed away before an embrasure has fallen from the cloud-capped towers or a tile from the gorgeous palaces. A new age has grown over us imperceptibly, and the political world i 3 canopied by a new sky, studded with new constel lations. With a sense of this beneficent change in England as a constitutional monarchy, the thought recurs to the mind simultaneously that what so many millions are struggling to attain through desolated streets and desecrated fanes, through death and agony, in defiance of the bullet and the scaffold, in the midst of cannon and conspiracies, we already enjoy in their utmost plenitude. That, indeed, is the secret of our tranquillity. We have liberty of speech, and liberty of the press, and liberty of meeting, and liberty of petitioning. We have personal inviolabi lity and inviolability of home. We have a po pular representation and an annual revision of the budget. We have responsibility of the Ministers and a perfect freedom•of conscience. We have trial by jury and authority over taxation. What the nations OD the continent are aspiring to possess, we have long since treasured up as the palladia of our empire. The dreams of the foreigner are our realities. The holier precepts which philosophy has depicted as the guiding influences of existence, in Arcadia, in Utopia, and in the visionary recesses of Icarie, have been legibly inscribed upon the leaves of our statute-books and accepted by the sagacity of our successive Parliaments. Much unquestionably remains as yet to be accomplished, but our future labours must be those rather of modi fication than of creation. For, inasmuch as the case this day brought under the consideration of the Court of Chancery has elicited this gratifying comparison between the state of England and that of Continental Europe, we are satisfied that the par; ticulars given elsewhere by our reporter will be perused with avidity and satisfaction. The only tangible ground put forward by the opponents of an extensive reclamation of the waste lands in Ireland is, that a fair return could not be obtained for the necessary outlay—in other words, that it would not pay as a mere pecuniary specula tion. In support of this view they put forward a few solitary instances in which parties who have tried the experiment have not succeeded to the full extent of their expectations. Many causes may have contri buted to these failures, if failures they have been. The requisite skill might have been wanting—too much might have been attempted in the first instance, more than the amount of capital at the dis posal of the parties could justify. A hundred other causes may have contributed to the untoward results. We have no doubt that if the cases of alleged failure were fully and closely investigated the most satisfactory explanations could be given as to the real causes thereof. It is not because two gentlemen who brought 2,000/. or 3,0001. to the undertaking, abandoned it in despair at the end of five years, or because the monks of Mount Meilleray, after having reclaimed five hundred acres of boggy mountain, thought proper to take a large farm of rich land in the county of Tipperary, in addition to their moun tain holding, that the experiment of reclaiming other waste lands must be abandoned as a hopeless under taking. Against the cases thus cited by the Irish Peer we might adduce innumerable instances of the most successful results, where the parties em barking their capital received the rewards due to their industry and enterprise, and realised large _ _ fortunes for themselves, while th e y were affording employment to hundreds of labourers, and conferring permanent benefit on the entire country by bringing new tracts of lands into cultivation, and thus in creasing the food available for the general support. The best answer, however, that can be given is a statement setting forth the present value of the lands, the probable amount of expenditure ne• cessary for their reclamation and their probable value ► when brought into cultivation. If we find a variety of different estimates, all made by men of competent skill and experience, agreeing that there would be ' a return varying from six to ten, and in some in stances twenty per cent. on the outlay, and that twenty-five years' purchase could readily be obtained therefor, the beneficial character of the speculation will become apparent, notwithstanding the doubts and difficulties of the Irish Peer with respect thereto. The letter of Mr. RIGBY Wisox, which appears in another part of our impression this day (the third of a series directed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to which we invite bis Lordship's most earnest attention), con tains calculations that must prove conclusive on the question. Mr. WAS ON is no ordinary witness. His statements are not founded on mere hearsay, nor does he jump at a conclusion on insufficient grounds. Few men have laboured more energetically, or, we rejoice to say, more successfully, in bringing new land into cultivation, and thus adding to the resources of his country. While possessed of a seat in the Legislature he acquired a character for great practical knowledge and sound judgment. The opinions of such a man must at all times com mand the greatest weight, more especially when those opinions are founded on matters that came immediately under his own cognizance, are in fact the results of his own experience. Mr. WASON being resolved to keep on the safe side of the question, has framed his calculations on the very highest estimates. It is no toricus also that the facilities fur reclaiming laud in Ireland are much greater than in Scotland, where Mr. WasoN's operations have chiefly been carried on. Lime, perhaps the most essential ingredient, is to be obtained in greater quantities, of a better quality, and at a cheaper rate in Ireland ; it will not be necessary either to expend so much labour in bringing it to the lands. The labour is equally abundant in both countries, perhaps something cheaper in Ireland than in Scotland. All the advantages are, therefore, on the side of Ire land, and much larger profits will be realised even than those referred to by Mr. WasoN ; and he has proved that if the poor-rate was struck on the same valuation that existed previously to the reclamation, the profits would amount to no less than 87,5001, on a capital of 131,2501., What capitalist could desire a more promising field for investment; ? Mr. WAsoN has assumed the value of the re claimed land to be ss. per acre per annum, and has also calculated on a permanent poor-rate of 10s. in the pound thereout. We believe that very few of the waste lands in Ireland, even those affording the greatest opportunities for improvement, could be esti mated at more than 2s. per acre ; this would make considerable difference in the result--a difference which would altogether be in favour of those em barked in the speculation. The poor-rate, too, would, as Mr. WASON justly remarks, be materially reduced throughout the union, by the employment of so great a number of the population as would be neces sary for reclamation. This, ag ain, would be a mate rial advantage to the new ' proprietors and occupiers of th e reclaimed land. Again, Mr. Wasox has calculated the cost of reclamation at 10/. per douhtedly, a hi g h rate, and acr e.far f beyond the This is, un estimates that have hitherto dd an made. In eaver- Per l deed, those estimates have seldom eexen In age of from 61. t o 91. acre, inolud e i e ng the dr ain age, which would rend er t h e land previously " usl r lu . ed ." at 2s. per acre worth, at th e l owest calculation 20s, per acre per annum, or at l east ten per cent. on the cost; indeed, the estimates of M r . It icnaun GRIFFITH were framed on this basis whe n h e reported that 1,425,000 acres o f l an d, n ow waste, was imp rovable into arable, and 2,330,000 into pasture lands. . .. ___. Surely, no further arguments are required to re fute the vague assertion of the opponents of all irn. provement. RAPID SALE.— We have hardly yet had an oppor tunity of looking into Macaulay's splendid History of England, and now the book is out of print ! Revolu tions of late have been carrying all before them in the political world, and now they are extending to the literary ! Just fancy a large impression of an historical work walking off in a week ! This is something new even in Paternoster-row. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The poll for President closed last night, and if we are to judge from the returns already published, there can be no doubt but that Louis NAPOLEON has been elected President by a very large majority. It must, however, be borne in mind that these are the returns only of the Bonapartists themselves, and that yesterday they published a statement of the poll as taken on board the Civita Vecchia fleet, which gave Louis NAPOLEON an overwhelming majority whereas the official statement proved that the majo• rity was upwards of 400 in favour of Genera.

In the sitting of the National Assembly on Mon day, it was decided by a majority of 358 to 204 to include among the organic laws, a law relating to to the organization of assistance to be given to the poor, and of works to b e reserve d f or men w h o are either in bad health or unoccupied. The Moniteur of yesterday says—" The President of the Council will not receive on Thursday next nor the Thursdays afterwards." General CAVAIGNAC and his friends will be the first to bow to the will of the country declared by universal suffrage. They will have recourse to no coup d'etat. They will be guilty of no factious op position. The National says, " What is to issue from the electoral urn is still a mys tery; but, whatever it may be, we shall consider it as the will of the country, and shall respect it as such. As long as the struggle lasted we fought with all our energy; we neglected nothing that could throw light on the great question of the Presidentship. We believe that in doing so we performed our duty towards the coun try and towards ourselves ; we have now another duty to perform. We declare that whatever name issues from the electoral urn shall be that of the Chief Magistrate of the Republic. In advance we recognise it as such. As long as he remains within the limits of the Constitution, the President shall be for us the President. Should the ballot show that we have been in the right, if it raises to power the influence in the triumph of which we seek the triumph of the Republican idea, and of the interests of the country, our position will be perfectly simple —we shall be the sincere but severe friends of the new power. If, on the contrary, it is the opposite in fluence which prevails, we shall forget that we have been its most energetic enemy, and we shall regard its acts, with the Constitution in our hand. The Constitu tion is our symbol of political faith, for it consecrates that great principle of popular sovereignty for which we have so long fought, and which is the basis of all mo dern society. It will be our rule in the line of conduct which we shall have to follow, our arm in the struggles which we may have to support. It is around the Con sti ution that ought to be grouped all go, , d citizens, all who desire the re-estab:ishment of order, the restoration of confidence, and the end of revolutions—in a word, all the elements of progress which French society contains. The first condition of so desirable a future is the sincere application of the Constitution: we never forget it." So long as LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE is con tent to act loyally as President of the Republic, he will be considered by all true Republicans as the re presentative of the Republic; he is in no danger from the intrigues of the Republicans. But he is in danger from the intrigues of the reactionaries, the 'Tiers, the Odilon Barrots, the Moles, and the Emile de Girardine, who will use him as a mere warming-pan for the Comte DE PARIS, and who are at this moment plotting his overthrow. _ _ It is said that he visited M. ODILON BARROT on Monday, and afterwards returned to Paris and dined with M. TRIERS. The reactionary journals give the following as the list of his first Ministry. M. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, Minister of the Interior; M. ACHILE FOULD, Minister of the Finances ; M. DROUYN DE LHUYS, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M. LEON FAUCHER ' ' Minister of Commerce • M. E BARTHLEMY ST. HILAIRE, Minister Of Pub lic Instruction ; M. ODILON BARROT, Mi nister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals ; and General OUDINOT, Minister of War. It is thought that General CHA.NGARNIER will retain the command of the National Guards of Paris, and that Marshal BUGEAUD will be appointed Comman der-in-Chief of the Army of the Alps. It is also said that M. THAYER, the son-in-law of General BER TRAND' is to be appointed Prefect of the S e i ne . It is said that M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has proposed himself as Prefect of Police, but both M. TRIERS and M. ODILON BARROT oppose his appointment to any office. Count Mom', who sentenced NEr to death, will, it is said, hare some high office, and M. DESAYES, the Director of the Political Department of Foreign Affairs under M. GUIZOT, is to be the Ambassador to England. Now, unless Prince Louis NAPOLEON has Esau-like sold what he considers his birthright for a mess of pottage, he will not send any former em ploye of M. GUIZOT to England in the character of Ambassador. M. TRIERS can tell him what are M. GuizoT's ideas of the duties an Ambassador owes to his chief, and unless Prince Louis NAPOLEON wishes to be betrayed, he will not employ any friend or asso ciate of M. GUIZOT as Ambassador. The Moniteur publishes two decrees in execution of the Bill passed on November 21, the one directing 2,500,000 E, Three per Cent. Rentes, to be inscribed in the Grand Livre, to the account of the holders of Treasury Bonds, with dividends commencing from 22d June last, and also 90,000 f., Five per Cent. Rentes, to be inscribed on the Grand Livre to the account of the subscribers to the National Loan, with dividends commencing from 22d Maich last. Both these credits are to be subject to ulterior regulation. The second relates to increasing the inscriptions of the consolidated accounts in the savings' banks from 71f. 60c. per cent. to 80f, according to the same Bill. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, DEC. 12.

Intelligence from Vienna of the 7th instant has been received, Notwithstanding all the boastings of the military Absolutists of Austria, notwithstanding all the wilful misrepresentations of the reactionary press in England and in France, it is evident that neither WINDISCHGRATZ nor JELLACHICH relish the idea of the Hungarian campaign. The fact is the Magyars have everywhere conquered their opponents. JELLACHICH invaded Hungary at the head of his horde of Croats. He declares that he took several cities and won a series of victories ; if this be true he must subsequently have evacuated all those cities, and suffered a series of defeats, for not a single Bar barian Croat pollutes the soil of Hungary, and JEL LACHICH himself is and has been for the last two months, with the exception of his recent journey to 011mutz, at Vienna. Hungary was to be invaded by SIMMONICH from Gallicia. SIMMONICH too, accord ing to the reactionary press, won a series of brilliant victories, but one fine morning he found himself and his whole army in Moravia, and since that period he has not yet faced the Magyars. A month since we were told that WINDISCHGRATZ, JELLACHICH, and Stnimoracis were advancing simultaneously into Hungary from different quarters, and that before Christmas, 1848, the Magyars would be destroyed. The Magyars, however, still continue in possession of their country, and of all the frontier towns which it contains, and the advices of the 7th from Vienna, which have been just received, state that the Hun garian campaign is to be postponed until all the troops have taken the oath of allegiance to the new EMPEROR. The fact is WINDISCHGRATZ dreads a winter campaign in Hungary. On the 6th there was a distribution of medals at Schonnbrunn to those soldiers who had distinguished themselves during the siege of Vienna. The medals were of gold and silver. Money also was distributed to the troops. WINDISCHGRATZ, JELLACHICH, and the staff were present, and salvoes of artillery were fired while the distributi on to o k pl ace . Thi s distri bution of medals to the troops for such a service proves that the Absolutists regard the people as ene mies and rejoice in their destruction. Instead of con sidering the slaughter of their fellow-countrymen as a painful event to be mourned, they consider it as a grand victory to be rejoiced over. It may be replied that the Viennese were guilty and deserved punish ment ; but so is the miscreant who is executed for the commission of a cold. blooded murder deserving of punishment; yet we do not present a gold medal to the hangman, neither do we salute him with sal voes of artillery. The house of ROTHSCHILD has, it is said, advanced 100,0001. for the use of the army. On the sth the EMPEROR received at 011muts the staff and officers of the garrison. He also received a deputation of the University, and promised that he would protect the sciences and the arts. The EMPEROR replied thus to a deputation of the Diet :—" Gentlemen—Present me speedily the pro ject of a constitution, that my people expect with impatience, in order that I may examine and approve of it." The young Prince MILOSCH OBRENOWICH and General STRADlNAurwicir arrived in 011inutz on the 4th instant. The EMPEROR was to preside for the first time in the Council of State on the 6th. Neither the EM PEROR nor the Council were expected to leave im mediately tor Vienna. The Diet of Moravia was to present an address on the 6th Prince LOBKOWITZ, Count MORITZ DIETRICHSTEIN, and Count AUERSPEZG have all been disrnist , ed by the EMPEROR. Orders have been issued to all the journals, com manding them not to speak of the present state of the army, and the changes that may be effected in it, or respecting its movements. Severe penalties are threatened in case of disobedience. The fact is the army has not been paid, and the promises of payment made to them have been so repeatedly broken, that the soldiers are disaffected, and would have no great objection to join KOSSUTH, if he could guarantee to them the regular receipt of their pay. The Al enteine Zeitung, speaking of the Emperor FRANCIS J OSEPH, say s " The young Emperor has had the advantage of a very careful education, and he has carefully studied several of the sciences. His talent for lan g uages is very great, and his style hi g hly cu lti va t e d. H e is very fond of mi'itary science, and is acquainted with its most minute details. He has been present at several of the engagements which have taken place in Italy during the late campaign. Great pains have been taken to make him early acquainted with various modes of life. A very favourable impression has been produced by bis styling himself Francis Joseph—the name of Joseph is inexpressibly dear to the Austrians, and by this stroke, whether intentionally or not, he has gained much popu larity. Two years ago the young Monarch was for soma time in England, whence he returned full of enthusiasm lot. the British Parliament." PRUSSIA. Advices from Berlin to the 9th have been received On the representation of the police authorities, General WRANGEL has rescinded his order directing the fair of Christmas-eve to be held on the Donhof platz, and given permission for it to be held in the usual locality, the Schloss-platz and its vicinity. If, however, there is the least disturbance of public order, he reserves the power of closing the fair altogether. The General has also given power to the local com mittees for the relief of the poor of Berlin to hold their meetings. The congress of the representatives of all the Burgher Guards of Prussia will be held on the 15th, at Breslau, instead of Berlin, as had been originally intended. Deputations from various municipalities, with ad dresses of thanks for the grant of a constitution, have been received by the KING at Potsdam. The 31st of this month, the last day of the year, is fixed for closing the receipts on account of the volun tary loan ; all contributions to it now must be in coin—bullion and plate are no longer received. The Minister of Finance also thanks those who have offered sums of money for the service of the Treasury to prevent any inconvenience from the withholding of taxes by those who have acted on the resolution of the late Assembly, but declines the offers, as the Treasury is not in a condition to resort to such means of supplying its necessities. The refusal is not made because the Exchequer is full, but because it cannot venture to contract new and indefinite obligations ; such loans would be a kind of debt of honour, repay payable on demand. ITALY. The Tempo of Naples contains the following letter of the POPE to Cardinal PATRIZI : " If there was erer need to address God with fervent prayers, it is at this moment. Sins, blasphemies, sacri legious acts of all kinds, and contempt of the most holy things, force us to have recourse to the Divine mercy. Cause, therefore, Mgr. Cardinal, prayers to be offered up —for prayers are always good —prayers for us, poor pil grim, now become a cause of dispute. To that end we give you full powers. Receive from us our apostolic benediction, which I give with eyes bathed in tears to you, to all good men, and in pal Ocular to all who pray for me. " Nov. 24, 1848." "Pius IX. The same journal contains a proclamation to the soldiers, from which it appears that part of them are accused of acts of violence, which are severely repre hended in the said document. The Opinione of 'Turin, of the 7th, states from Brescia, 4th instant, that the municipality of that town had resigned on account of the tyranny of the military authorities. At Turin the Ministerial crisis has not yet subsided. Letters from Rome of the 4th say, that on the receipt of the protest of the POPE, with the nomina tion of a commission to carry on the Government, the Ministry immediately summoned the Chamber of De puties to an extraordinary sitting. This sitting commenced at midnight. After a very long discussion it was decided that the rescript should be disregarded, the principal reason given for that decision being that it had not been signed by any responsible Minister, and that nothing proved that while the POPE was in a foreign country he had acted of his own free-will. The Assembly also decided that a deputation, com posed of Members of the two Chambers, should be sent to his Holiness, praying him to return to Rome, where he would 1:le "treated with the greatest respect. _ The Chamber has drawn up two proclamations, one addressed to the Roman people, and the other to the Civic Guard, in which they explain the late proceed ings, and recommend the people to maintain order and obey the law. _ The Alba of the sth says, the Royal Family re turned to Naples on the 30th ult. The POPE has decided to remain at Gaeta, at least for the present. MARYLEBONE THEATRE. The amusing opera comique the Pet of the Petticoats, which was prcduced some twenty years since at Sadler's Wells, was revived at this theatre last evening, butminus the greater portion of the music. The Pet of the Petti- coati, though necessarily shorn of much of its music at the Marylebone Theatre, whose resources are not mu sical, yet contains sufficient to prove its admirable fac tare and appropriateness to the whim of the drama. Mrs. Fitzwilliam fills her original character of Paul, and sings, if not with all the freshness of her "early prime," tastefully and agreeably, and Buckstone, as the " dancing master," kept the house in continual merriment. The opera is admirably mounted. WEST RIDING ELECTlON.—Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen from the Lancashire towns was held at No. 5, Newell's buildings, Manchester, for the purpose of forwarding the election of Sir Culling Eardley, Bart. Mr. G. Wilson was in the chair, and many :zealous and influential gentlemen were present. The Manchester Times, in a second edition, says—" Amongst those pre sent were Mr. Henry, M.P.; Mr. Bright, M.P.; Mr. Kershaw, M.P.; Mr. H. Ashworth, Mr. James , Watts, Mr. John Platt, of Oldham; Mr. James Thompson, Mr. S. Lees, Mr. W. Morris, Mr. Syddall, Mr. Dean, of Bolton; Mr. Cullen, of Bolton; Mr. D. Whitehead, of Rawtenstall; Mr. N. Buckley, of Ashton; Mr. James Veevers, Mr. R. Milner, Mr. J. E. Royle, &c. The utmost good feeling prevailed, and a liberal subscription was entered into for the purpose of defraying such legal expenses as may be unavoidable, in order to secure the attendance of the Lancashire voters. The reports from every part of the county were most favourable, and we have no doubt there will be very cordial support rendered to Sir Culling Eardley by the Liberals of this county." CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—At a Court held yesterday in the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair, the report upon the Gas Bill, about to be introduced into Parliament was brought up. It recom mended that the Bill be adopted. Mr. Alderman Law rence opposed the project of turning the Corporation into large gas manufacturers, and insisted that mono poly might be prevented by admitting other companies. Mr. Kemp denied that that would supply any permanent security against the imposition. Mr. Stacy said the Court did not contemplate the manufacture of gas by the Corporation, but, armed with the powers which the Bill would give them, they would be possessed of the best means of checking all gas monopolies. Mr. Har rison considered that all that was wanted was the power to purchase the pipes and mains ; ke moved an amend ment, which Mr. Dixon seconded, excluding the power to purchase gasworks or erect works. The Remem brancer, being appealed to,' expressed an opinion that Patliament would not sanction a Bill of so limited a nature, upon the ground of the injustice of thus deal ing with a company established at a great expense. After much discussion, in which the example of Man chester and Liverpool was cited in support of the appli cation recommended by the report, the amendment was negatived by 10 voices against 7, and the report was received. The Bill will be prepared and submitted to Parliament without being referred to the Court of Com mon Council. Before the Commissioners adjourned, Mr. Simon, the City Officer of Health, reported that the epidemic was rather on the decline for the last week, and that he had heard of no case of cholera in the City. . THE LATE MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER DAUGH. TER.—Additional circumstances connected with this case have come out before the coroner, which tend to confirm the guilt of the prisoner. Richard Evan, a police officer, on going to the house, found everything in confusion,' the prisoner's bed had not been slept in during the night, and there were- remains of burnt rags, and marks of blood on a towel; a pillow-case was marked with oil and blood, and so also was the prisoner's night dress. The prisoner was tipsy. Mr. Newell, the surgeon (mayor of Bridgnorth), had known the deceased four or five years. Some time back he was called in to attend her, when he found her so dreadfully beaten that large pieces of flesh were cut out of her arms, and on expostulating with the prisoner, she replied, she " was sorry she had not finished her." He had with Mr. Colley made a second post mortem examination of the body, and was of opinion that the cause of death was congestion of the lungs and brain, arising from suffoca. tion, and that the burns took place atter death. Mr. Colley and Mr. Thursfield, surgeons, who assisted at the examination of the body, were of the same opinion. William Cafield had gone to the house of Mr. Dyers after he had seen the body of the deceased. The .prisoner called him to her, she pulled him by the frock, and, taking him round the neck, said, " Is she dead ?" On his replying, yes, she kissed him, and said, "lam as happy as if I was in heaven." She was not sober. Edward Edwards, brother to the ch said she was seventy-two years old. She was entitled, under her father's will, to the interest of 5004 of which, at her decease, 2001. were to be paid over to the prisoner, who was also to enjoy the interest on the remaining 3001. for life. The prisoner had on one . 9ccasion said to him, " The old bit c h h a d k e pt h er out of the money till her hair was gray, and she should like to see her cut into four quarters." It having been intimated to the coroner that some very important evidence would be brought forward at the next inquiry, the court was ad journed. MONEY MARKET.—The preniium on gold at Paris s 19i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3Z 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex• change of 25.64; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.471, it follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By the last advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.11, it follows that gold is the same price both in Hamburgh and London. ISLE OF MAN.—COLLISION AT SEA.- Yesterday morning (Friday) the galliot, Jane of Whitehaven, Jenkinson, master, put into Ramsey harbour, disabled, with yards carried away, and about three feet of water in the hold, and taking in rapidly. About three o'clock A.M., when about fifteen miles of Maughold Head, she came in concussion with another galliot, as both vessels were on opposite tacks, the wind being S.S.E., and thus became disabled, and received some injury on the lar board bow, a little below water mark, with the chain bolts of the mizenmast of the other vessel. She then tacked to follow the vessel, but she had gone too great a distance at the time, so she made for Ramsey. The crew suppose that the galliot was the Barrow of White haven, Moffat, master; both vessels left that port at ten P.M. on Thursday, and were coal laden for Kingstown. It is ,not known what has become of the Barrow; the Jane saw a vessel towards the east, but could not discern her correctly, and a smack - having arrived at Ramsey reports that she saw a schooner with a mast carried away making for Whitehaven.—Douglas Paper. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES: LIVERPOOL, TUES DAY.—The trial of the Repealers was proceeded with to day. The evidence related chiefly to the pikes, cutlasses, and other weapons found in possession of the prisoners. Messrs. Segar, James, Dearsley, Pollock, and Atkinson addressed the Court on behalf of the prisoners; and the witnesses for the defence were under examination when our report was dispatched. The grand jury returned a true bill for the murder of the policeman, James Bright, at Ashton-under-Lyne, against Joseph Ratcliffe, Joseph Constantine, Thomas Kenworthy, Jonathan Walker, James Stott, Thomas Tarsiker, James Milligan, John Napoleon Sefton, Benjamin Backhouse, ildward West, Jonathan Scholfield, John Bardsley, John Seddon, and James Whitehead. The Attorney-General stated that ib was his intention to proceed against Ratcliff, Constan tine, and Tarsiker only, for the murder. Uinta the issue of that trial he should not be prepared to say what course would be pursued with regard to the other pri soners. The trial is fixed for Thursday. THE VICAR OF ST. MARTIN-IN- THE - FIELDS deputation from Great Yarmouth, consisting of Mr. Thomas Brightwen, Mr. Charles John Palmer, and Mr. C. Lockhart Robertson, M.D., waited, on Monday, the 11th inst., on the Rev. the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the- Fields, and presented him with a testimonial of plate, bearing the following inscription :—" To the Rev. Henry Mackenzie, A.M., from some friends in Great Yarmouth, in grateful acknowledgment of his arduous, disinterested, and truly Christian serv i ces while minister of that parish, 1848." The Rev. th e Vi car entertained the deputation at dinner in the evening. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CI 7Y, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather quieter. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales.—Railway Sha res were steady generally. ?ho letters from the United States by the steam er are of a satisfactory t enour genera ll y .

A letter from Posen, dated Dec. 6, which is quoted in the Cologne Gazette, says--" Prussia, on condition that Russia should re-establish the kingdom of Poland, and place the Duke of LEUCHTENBRRG over it as King, has ceded to Russia that part of the Grand Duchy of Posen which, according to the line of de marcation traced by General VON SCHUFFER Baax- STEIN, has not been incorporated into Germany. The formal act of cession will take place on the Ist of January. The arrival of a Russian Councillor of State at Kalisch has reference to the execution of this important treaty. Similar negotiations have been commenced with Austria, on the subject of the cession of Cracow and the Polish part of Gallicia, but the reality of this is not yet determined. The new kingdom of Poland will have a constitution granted to it, and will be placed provisionally under the protection of the three Powers. All this may be considered as an attempt to satisfy the Poles and extinguish that important focus of revolution for Eastern Europe. If the attempt should fail, the whole of Poland will return under the domination of Russia, and the po pulation of the Grand Duchy of Posen hopes confi dently that the cession to Russia will be effected. The Gazette of Poland, however, asserts that it does not give full credit to this strange intelligence. The .Breslau Gazette, on the other hand says : " There are in the kingdom of Poland 100,000 men ready to fight, and who are at the disposal of Austria whenever she chooses to call for them. Should Austria be reduced to the necessity of requiring them, she may in return abandon Gallicia to the CZAR, which would perfectly satisfy him." The frontier between Poland and Russia will shortly be opened. It is even asserted that this also is to be the case in regard to Cracow ; and according to another report the kingdom of Poland will be re instated in its ancient form, and Cracow will again be a republic. Such are the accounts given by some of the best informed journals, although they are not in accord in regard to facts. It nevertheless seems pretty certain that negotiations are pending, and that some change will shortly take place in regard to Poland.
