ROUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING.) - The house met pro forma, but having no business be fore it, immediately adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING). The SPEAKER' took the chair shortly before four o'clock, when there was already, for the time, a tolerably full attendance. The oaths were administered to several of the new members, Mr. E. B. RocHE and Mr. MARSHALL being amongst the number of those who took their seats. PETITIONS. Mr. EWART presented a petition from a place in D umfriesshire, praying the interference of the house in the case of Edward Murray. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented a petition from W estminster, praying for the regulaion of the system of B etting -houses. Sir J. SHELLEY presented a petition likewise, from W estminster, praying for the interposition of the house in behalf of Edward Murray. Mr. R. CURRIE moved for copies of all papers, and c",f any correspondence between the Admiralty an d M r. " - enrge Hinton Bovill, relative to the fitting up and trial s of his patent machinery for grinding corn, at Dept ford ; together with the copies of the minutes and report of any inquiry that has taken place by direction of the Admiralty relating thereto. . CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that he had received a communication from the examiner of recogni zances, stating that the sureties in the case of Tavistock, Bridport, and Lancaster, were unobjectionable. CANADA AND THE COLONIES. On 'the motion of Sir W. MOLESWORTH, several returns were ordered, connected with the Clergy Reserve Fund of Canada, together with an abstract of the colonial expenditure of Great Britain from 1849 to 1852, both inclusive. CONSTABLE OF THE TOWER. Lord Mr. V. SMITH , askedthe Secretary at War, whether Combermere had been appointed Constable of the Tower, on the understanding that his emoluments were tomee std3ject to any rev i s i on w hi c h m i g h t h ereafter place ? Mr. BERESF ORD said the' appointment was made subject to any provision which Parliament might choose to make. The amount paid to the officers of the Tower was included in the 18,0001. which was awarded for dis tinguished services, and he was sure the country would no t grudge th e 9001. which was given to Lord Comber mere for his distinguished military services in every part and clime of the world, under his distinguished Chief who had just been buried. On the PUBLIC LIBRARIES. to e motio n of Mr EWART, a return was ordered of th number of boroughs in England and Wales that have unded museums and libraries under the Bth and 9th -V ie. ) chap. 43 . , NOTICES OF MOTION. 11r, • P RMN gave notice that to-morrow he should _ove for a return of the different fees paid by the various Atididates at the last general election to the returning THE NAVY. tile A dmiral BERKELEY put the following questions to Secrete the Admiralt Whether her Ma- j es t Y's Go event intend to y introduce a bill for the bMeter reg u l at i on of ports and harbours ? 2. Whether t present B oard o f Ad m i ra l ty, soon a f ter t h e i r accession to office, gave directions that the names °f th e workmen and artificers, recommended for Proraotion, were to be sent direct to the Secretary to the .rmiralty instead of being first submitted to the Sur 3eyor of the Navy, as had been previously the rule ? 8 Whether any correspondence took place with the ti llreyor i n consequence of such order, and whether B u o ch orde r is still in force ? 4. Whether a committee ° Meers was appointed to inquire into and r e p or t on —e mu - ships, s t eam - eng i nes, an d t h e subject generally as a PPlicable to naval purposes ; and the reason for such eftimittee separating without coming to any conclusion or reeking any report ? their. STAFFORD, in reply to the first, said it was no t intention of the Government to bring in a bill for the r egulatio n of ports and thar'oours • to the second—that the p resent Board of Admiralty had not disturbed the rule which previously existed of submitting the names of workmen recommended for promotion to the Surveyor of the tha Navy in th e fi rs t instance • to the third—that no ecc h correspo n d ence had taken place ; and to the last-- t the gallant gentl eman was wrong i n assum i ng th a t the committee appointed to report upon steam ships and Steam engi nes b y the Admiralty had separated. They went to Glasgow and Liverpool, but finding that a great sum of money would be required to prosecute the inquiry they returned to London ; but it was proposed that they should again resume their investigation. Ili reply to Sir G. PE CHELL, Mr. STA FFORD said it was no t t rue th a t th e Sur veyor of the Navy had tendered his resignation. NAVY DEFENCES. In reply to Mr. RICH, in L. STAFFORD said the committee appointed to ~c l uire into the naval defences of the country, had sug .6ested that certain things should be done, with the view j'eaderi eg those defences more efficient, but he did not — " lil t it desirable to state now what they were. APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE. ; ' l mmediately before the important motion of the even ;llg, was brought forward by the honourable gentleman „..""e Membe r for Wolverhampton, the house presented a TrY animated and crowded appearance. All the galleries, f S trangers', the Lords', and the Speakers', were crowded r c'M the first few moments after the doors were opened. The attendance of members both on the ministerial side r a nd on the aide of the opposition was unusually num e- L " ' The Cabinet Ministers mustered in full force, and gracing along their bench, the eyes of the observers he ke_d aide by side the Secretary of State for Colonies, the Secretary of State for the of he Depart'ment, and the right hon. the Chancellor ity e Exchequer. Ailer the arrival Of some unimportant thersages from the Lords, it was felt that the event of Zenil ght was coming on. Directly Mr. Villiers rose, eve hums of voices throughout the house ceased, and r Y t hing evidenced a sense of breathless expectation. FREE TRADE. M r. C. VILLIERS then rose to move the following resolutions : industrious classes, That it is the opinion of this house, that the o im . e - Proved condition of the country, and particularly recent 1846 orornercial legislation , and especially of is mainly the result , which established the free admission of foreign and beneficial the 3 act of e ti ° e rn a ; and that that act was a w i se , just, an that the Blire ' That it is the opinion of this house, of free trade,Sainte na nee and further extension of the policy b enable ap, th e p ro ° PPosed to that of protection, will the burthens t 0 :P er tY and industry of the nation to bear to the which t heya,r exposed, and will most contribute eo le: gela v , l P r ° B Perit e y welfare, and contentment oft si e d p era r ion Thatn, us house is ready to take into s c it principles on of these -- J Measures consistent with the resolutions whi h be laid before it by her Majesty's ki rdsters., c may 4 1 , e sai d—Sir, in risin to submit the resolutions to theright -°llB e of which I have g given notice, I think it t to state "s'''''e why it is that I have deemed it my duty to Persevere with the motion, and why I did not l a o c r q of u the i n the request of the Right Hon. the Chancel c hequer to postpone it until he had explained his own Pro posals t o the house. Sir, with that view I beg to call the atten tion of th e h ouse to the pos i t i on i n w hi c h the house we elf stands w ith respect to the great matter w hi c h . esPeci a ll y summoned at this unusual, and perhaps are lnowl. " re nient season to settle. (Hear, hear.) There seemed should be no first to be a general understanding on the night of the session that there 411 . 1en drnent mo ved to the Address, as it was thought the fr , ea ' t question which we were called upon to discuss when it could -l ight to be left to some future occasion , .. be legislation. (Hear.) made a distinct matter for our . um. It • • that under these elm seemed to be the opinion, leave the matter for a nees it would be more proper to da'Y, and it was under these circumstances I that rose up111)011 tliat_oecasion to give a distinct notice that I should u pon a f u t ure occasion, bring the matter under the dis !hid notice o f the house ; b u t, sir, in c onsequence of 'he una.nimity that prevailed on the first night of the session, the house b e came bound, by the there was no contents of the address—(hear, hear). — matter atnenclrnent moved with respect to the particular ned— on which We were have been summo in (hear, supposed to , he nd We were bound by that paragraphich I the speech which related to this question, and which will undertalce to say by the a objected to generally the that i xilear, hear was It s is impossible to exaggerate sal for the p ars graph in the Speech has given umv sal dissatisfaction. (Cheers.) We thought we were nrununoned here upon this occasion to hear something Ike an official intimation or opinion of the Government 11 P0/1 the great matter upon which the last Parliament had been dissolved to gether , and th e new P ar li amen t ca lled Address , but the Passage i n th e S peec h an d th e info th which h e referred contained no such rmation. There was nothing in it but what has b justly designat e d throughont the whole country as een an nworthy evasi on of the whole mattar. (Cheers.) Sir, I took leave to observe, on the occasion of the Address, th at, when everybody expected to find something distinct " i l d clear, th ey f ound that nothing was desided, that nothing was asserted, but that something was implied of a question able charactr, while the whole paragarph concluded in terms which were used purposely not to b e respectful to wards the house. (Oh.) H on . gen tl emen opposite say that, i n the but I say this mo s t a d v i se dl y, I do not believe such history of P ar li ament, t h ere ever has been ' i a paragraph composed by any Minister. (H ear, e ar-) We all know what is meant when reference is made to the wisdom. of Parliament. (A laugh.) It is a Ca nt Phrase which people make use of out of doors whene ver they w i sh to sp e ak sarcastically of the house. (A laugh.) People, then, refer in a sneering tone to the ~~ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER - 23, 1852. wisdom of the house, and as this passage in the Address was couched in a similar strain, it was not satis factory either to him or the country. (Loud cheers.) Parliament was dissolved for the purpose of bring ing a particular matter to a distinct issue, and Parliament was assembled for the purpose of receiving the answer of the country to the issue. I am, therefore, at a loss to understand how hon. gentlemen opposite could have, for an instant, supposed that this passage in the Speech could have heen at all satisfactory to the great majority of this house ; and, certainly, I am some , what surprised to hear, from what has transferred in another place, that it was expected to be satisfactory, and that any body who disputed the master would be considered factious. (Hear, hear.) Yes, any body who is dissatisfied with the allusion in the Speech to the question we are called upon to decide, is to be considered as a party opposed to those measures which Government contemplate introducing for the benefit of the country. (Hear, hear.) Sir, it is on this account that I consider it most important that this house should at once come to some distinct and positive declaration upon the great question at issue. (Cheers.) It is, sir, because I con sider that this house has been put in a position anything but satisfactory to the country, that I now call upon it to pronounce an opinion upon this matter. (Cheers.) I have been called upon by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer to postpone my resolutions until he had had an opportunity of propounding his own measures ; but, sir, I am at a loss to understand the logic of such a proposal, for the house has been summoned to pronounce its opinion upon a par ticular matter, upon which it is supposed the coun try has decided, and the house can therefore have nothing whatever to do, in the first instance, with the plans of the Government. (Cheers.) Parliament was dissolved to enable the country to decide what our commercial policy shall be ; the country has answered that question, and it is now for the house to ascertain to what side of the question that answer is favourable. We are now assembled to consider an important subject, having been dissolved because the first Minister of the Crown could not make up his mind upon it, and wished to take the opinion of the country as to whether he was right or wrong. (Hear, hear.) He had consented, to use his own expression, to be tried by the country. Well, he had been tried, and he was found to be wanting. Is it an answer to the verdict returned by such a jury, to say—" if this policy won't do, you shall get something else—certainly you differ from us on this matter, but I have got a Colleague of astonishing re sources and standard ability, who will give you something which will delight you beyond any thing else, if you will only allow him to propose his measures." (Laughter.) Now, I don't deny there may be a genius of that kind, who, like certain individuals that vend medicines for the cure of all maladies, may be able to propound a measure which will be universally palatable ; but in the meantime, we must confine our selves to the business which we have come here to determine. (Hear, hear.) I am perfectly astonished that a motion so obvious, so reasonable, and so strictly in accordance with the purpose for which we are assembled, should be considered factious, and to be framed with the object of upsetting the Government. I don't exactly know why lam to trust this Government more than another. Are their de clarations so explicit, and their consistency so satisfac factory, that I am to have blind faith in their policy. (Laughter.) Though I have read the papers, and tried to collect as much information as possible, I have yet a difficulty in ascertaining what their measures are really to be. A noble marquis goes into an agricultural dis trict, and being in the confidence of the Government, says that he is convinced that they will endeavour to advance the interests of the agricultural interest, though he de: chnes to specify the particular measures ; and another member, holding an important post in the Government, goes to Lincolnshire, and declares that Lord Derby is still a Protestant at heart. Let the hon. gentlemen op posite frankly state they are honest converts, and ar inclined to adopt our views, and they shall receive every forbearanee they can expect from this side. (Cheers.) If any man were to look at the two propositions together, he would declare that mine was the amendment, and the right hon. gentleman's the original. I cannot, there fore, withdraw it, seeing what it has done already, and because I will not despair before the close of this evening or of this week, of seeing the right hon. gentleman adopt it, and perhaps vote for it ; and we shall only have one division upon it, or perhaps none at all. It is a most valuable admission to make, that one act of recent legislation has cheapened the price of food, and thereby greatly improved the condition of the working classes. I entirely agree with the right hon. gentleman ; and, in alluding to that act, I have called it by name the act of 1846. I have denominated it a wise act in consequence of what the right hon. gentle man has said. If the right hon. gentleman wishes to per suade me to withdraw that part of my motion, he must show me how an act, which he says has been attended with such beneficial effects should not be called a wise act. (Cheers.) If a foreigner had been present at the former discussions on his subject, and heard argu ments used then, when hon. gentlemen opposed fo the corn laws used to say, " Show t us that this is a labour er's question, and we will fie into the lobby with you— when it seemed as if all the benevolence were on one side, and all the harshness and grinding tyranny on the other, and if such a stranger were to be present now, and found that after acknowledging that the act of 1846 had been beneficial to the working-classes, hon. gentlemen still refused to recognise that act as a wise act, I think he would be somewhat inclined to doubt the sincerity of the sympathy with the poor which was formerly talked of. 41 might give a word of advice to hon. gentlemen, I might say that this is a very little thing to ask, and they can do nothing less, because, if there ever was a law to raise the price of provisions it was one of the most execrable laws that was ever enacted, and I can not understand why a law which repeals such an enact ment and has produced the effects produced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer should not be called wise. I cannot conceive a more guilty act than that which tampers with the food of the people. It affects the con dition of the whole population—those millions of people who earn their daily bread. Whether men shall be de graded animals or civilised and social beings depends upon the means of their obtaining not only sufficient to obtain their daily bread, but that excess which must supply their other wants. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman went on to remark, that he could scarcely conceive it possible that the report he ob served in one quarter could be correct, to the effect that the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Home Depart ment had declared his conviction that the recently inaugu rated commercial policy had led to a considerable increase of crime throughout the country. (" No," from Mr. Walpole.) He readily and eagerly accepted the con tribution of the right hon. gentleman, so sincere was his respect for his character. He must confess that he re garded this contradiction as a declaration on his (the Home Secretary's) part of a totally opposite conviction. He (Mr. Villiers) had been told on entering the house, that in the event of a division adverse to the Cabinet, the present Government would forthwith resign. He did not wish this in bringing forward his motion. He was only anxious to have the free-trade principles for mally acknowledged in the face of the country, by the Lower House of Parliament. Yet—supposing the threatened resignation to prove inevitable—he should still cherish a hope that this great country might possibly sur vive the calamity. He did not expect that the nation could be destroyed or brought to ruin by the downfall of this or any other administration. For his part he would not regard the maintenance of any ministry as a matter of such supreme importance to the people of the United Kingdom. He had witnessed during the time he himself had been a member of the House of Com mons some five or six different Cabinets, and he must acknowledge that he could not fail to recognise amongst them all a strong family likeness. (Hear.) Entering later on into a variety of interesting statistics, showing the difference of the working of the free trade system and protection, he insisted from a multiplicity of facts, that it was proved beyond further contradiction how advisable it is to cheapen first the common necessaries of life, and afterwards of articles of consumption of a secondary character. He argued that the justification of his present motion was discoverable in the first speech on the first night of the first Minister of the Crown. (Left Speaking.) THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

The Moniteur contains 37 telegraphic dispatches from east, west, north, and south, all to the same effect, that the people are voting with enthusiasm for the Empire. The dispatches in question em brace the towns of Valence, Dijon, Metz, Bar-le- Due, Rouen, Tours, Poictiers, Besangon Nevers, Nantes, Lyons, Macon, Bourges, Cha‘auroux, Calais, Chartres, Amiens, Orleans, Strasbourg, Colmar, Chalons, St. Etienne, Lisle, Montbrison, Nancy, Bordeaux, and Angouleme. In Paris, on Sunday, 105,000, or more than one-half of the electors, voted. In the Banlieue, whole communes marched to the poll in a sort of military order with flags, and voted en masse for the Empire. _ _ The votes of the army of Paris, as received by the Minister of War, gave the following result : Yes - ' 20,077 . No 353 The telegraphic dispatches cannot of course give numerical details, but the'terms in which they are conveyed leave no doubt as to the result. At Val ence, despite heavy rai n , th e p eo pl e we re voting in crowds. The country people about Dijon entered the town, following banners, and crying " Vive l'Empereur." At Metz, a larger majority was ex pected than had appeared on the 20th of December. The same was said of Rouen, Besancon, of Stras burg, of St. Etienne, of Lisle, and of Chalons. The Echo of Valenciennes, of Saturday, contains the following : "We understand that the Duke de 3assano, the French ambassador in Belgium, not wishing to lose his electoral right, will avail himself of the facility afforded by the railway to come to this place to-morrow to vote. He will be accompanied by all tYie persons connected with the embassy, and will return with them to Brussels in the evening." The Prefect of the Herault, agreeably to instruc tions from the Government, has announced that extensive measures of clemency will be adopted to wards those parties who have been condemned by the mixed commissions, who, by a formal decla ration, shall renounce their former bad conduct, and promise peace and submission for the future. The Constitutionnel remarks as follows on the elections : "According to the information ,which has reached us from a number of the electoral sections of Paris, the number of voters on the first day exceeded the half of the number inscribed. The most perfect order reigned throughout. There was never any very 'extraordinary crowd of voters, but the electors succeeded each other in such a manner that the voting went on uninterruptedly. It was remarked that a number of electors who, from their great age, have usually kept aloOf from the ballots, gave their votes on this decisive occasion, One magis trate in the retired list, 98 years of age, came to give his vote in favour of the nephew of the man who had re established the reign of the laws in France." The Pays says that the number ,of votes in scribed in the twelve arrondissements amounts to 212,824, out of whom 108,221 voted on the first day. A considerable number of Deputies have already arrived in Paris. The Chamber, as our readers are aware, meets on the 25th. A committee of tradesmen has just 'been formed with a view of presenting to Louis Napoleon a sword of honour, and a diadem enriched with diamonds. The committee met on Saturday in the saloons of a restaurateur in the Palais Royal, The Journal des _Mats has the following para graph : " Some English journals again repeat that the Duke of Wellington was a Marshal of France ,and Duke de Brunnoy in France. That is an error which was long not sin think serious propagated,ce journals and contradicted rep s e o at o i ft t often thatlor.wee” did The Bourse closed firm, with an advance on Saturday's prices.

THE CONTINENT. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. Shortly before 12 o'clock yesterday forenoon the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Niagara, Capt. Stone, arrived in the Mersey from Boston and Halifax, the former of which ports she left on the 10th and the latter on the 12th inst. The. Niagara brought 38 passengers and 15,000 dollars in specie. The Niagara experienced very strong easterly winds during the greater part of her passage, which occupie 11 days 18 hours mean time. The Royal Mail steam-ships Africa and Canada, hence with the mails, had arrived—the former at New York on the 4th, and the latter at Halifax on the 11th inst. The intelligence by this arrival is three days later that brought by the Washington. We learn from Nassau, N.P., that the cholera still lingers upon the island. The mortality has been very great. According to the New York Herald, an attempt has been made to murder its editor, James Gordon Bennett, d la Napoleon, by means of an infernal machine. Advices from California had arrived per the Star of the West to the 16th October, two months later than the Georgia's advices. The intelligence is in teresting. Great excitement existed among the bankers and merchants of California, in consequence of the adoption of the Treasury order refusing the receipt of assay ingots in payment of the public dues—a measure which is calculated to operate inju riously upon the interests of the mercantile classes. The prospects at the mines point to favourable re sults from the labours of the winter. Not much progress is making just at this time, in consequence of the active preparations for the approaching season. The shipments of specie have accordingly fallen off in some degree. The crops in California have fallen somewhat short of expectation, probably attributable to the light rains. The miscellaneous news is of no importance. Interesting intelligence is received from Mexico to the middle of October. The city of Mexico was in a ferment. The extra session of Congress had convened; and. the Cabinet Ministers were on the point of impeachment. Opposition presses have multiplied, which ply the Government with re proaches and bitter attacks, and the condition of the country is more unfortunate than ever. The Government has authorised the arrest of all military personages who are destitute of passports. The state of Vera Cruz has sent two commissioners to confer with the Supreme Government in relation to the recent insurrections, and a bill granting an amnesty to the Vera Cruz insurgents had been in troduced into Congress. General Cardenas has assumed the government of the state of Tamaulipas. Some excitement existed at Vera Cruz, in conse quence of the reported approach of a French squa dron to support the claims of the French Minister for the payment of creditors of the Republic. A Spanish vessel was also looked for, to enforce the payment of Spanish claims. The news from all parts of the country is prophetic of evil tidings. The New York stock market was • buoyant, with large sales in investment as well as speculative stocks. Prices for all the leading securities had advanced. The money-market was without altera tion. Exchange firmer. Bills on London, 110 f to 110 i ; Paris, 5 15 to 5 131; Hamburg, 36 to 361; Bremen, 79i- to 741 ; Amsterdam, 41 to 41h. Cotton had advanced a quarter cent per pound, with large sales ; the stock at New York was nearly exhausted, and, there being several large foreign orders to execute, it was expected that there would be a further advance. The flour market was very firm, with a good home demand ; for export not much inquiry. For wheat the demand was not quite so active, the advance reported last steamer having in a great measure checked operations. All descriptions of provisions were in good demand at very firm prices. Freights to London very firm, at the following rates :—Tobacco, 30s. per hhd.; flour, 2s. 6d. per bar r el ; t ur p en tine, 3s. per barrel ; and beef, ss. 6d. to 6s. per tierce. The iron market was depressed; 150 tons Scotch pig were reported at 31 dollars six months. THE ARMY. The following general orders have been issued to all Ole regiments in her Majesty's service:— " GENERAL ORDER. "Horse Guards, Nov. 18, 1852. "Her Majesty does not require that the officers of the army shall continue to wear the mourning prescribed in the general order of the 22d of September for Field- Marshal the late Duke of Wellington, except that they shall wear black crape round the left arm until Monday next, the 22d inst., when the mourning is to cease. " By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Viscount Hardinge, Commanding-in-Chief. "G. BROWN, Adjutatt-General." i ‘ GENERAL ORDER. " Horse Guards, Nov. 19, 1852. " The General Commanding-in-Chief desires to express to Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, his entire approval of the very judicious and suc cessful manner in which the military arrangements for the funeral were yesterday carried into execution. " The conduct of the officers and men on this melan choly occasion, in co-operation with the police, was most praiseworthy. " The detachments from every regiment , in the service brought up to London, by the express command of her Majesty, to represent the army will take back to their comrades the deep feeling of admiration ,and sorrow which universally prevailed among all classes of the people on the solemn occasion of carrying the immortal hero to his grave. "The presence of the troops was most welcome throughout the procession and at the various posts at which they were posted, not only as assisting the civil authorities in preserving order and preventing accidents, but as being that class of their fellow-countrymen who, trained under their illustrious Commander, will, on all occasions, endeavour to follow his perfect example of preferring the • strict performance of his duty to every other consideration. " By command of the Right Hon. General Viscoun Hardinge, Commanding-in-Chief. " G. BROWN, Adjutant-General." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, MONDAY. The Royal Albert, 120, has had an additional num ber of men placed at work upon her, and there are now about 150 hands employed, besides two gangs of con victs, one to remove the timbers, and the other to bring the large iron kneejoints from the blacksmiths' shop to be fitted on board. The Driver steam-sloop left Woolwich at half-past 6 o'clock a.m. to-day, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam reserve, for Sheerness, where she is to re main as an advanced war-steamer, with all her ammuni tion, shot, and shells on board, ready for instant service when she may be required. Since the death of the chief-engineer who brought home the Dover iron steam-vessel from the coast ofAfrica, the vessel has been placed in charge of Acting Second Master Sallenger, of the Monkey steam-vessel. The Kroomen on board are all Christians, although natives of Africa, and they are remarkably attentive to the re ligious duties of members of the Church of England. They attend the dockyard chapel in the forenoon, from 11 to 1 o'clock, and in the schoolroom at the west gate in the evening, from half-past 6to 8 o'clock, to hear the services of the Church of England. Commander G. P. T. Hornby (1850) is appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard. APPOINTMENTS. Mate—Charles F. Ryder, to the Dido, 18, Devonport ; H. W.

Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., commander in -chief, went to Spithead, this morning, with his flag flying in the Fire Queen, and inspected the ship's com pany of the Scourge, Commander Lord F.

SUPPOSED SUICIDES BY DROWNlNG.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, the coroner, received information of the following su pposed cases of suicide o f persons w h o wa re found drowned in the New River an d th e R egen t's Canal. On Sunday morning the body of J. Cherington, a butcher, carrying on business at Ball's-pond, n dir the turnpike , was picked up in the N ew Ri ver , near the Green-lanes, Stoke Newington. In th e forenoon of the same day (Sunday) the body of a female, named CarolineWilhams, was found floating in the Regent's Canal, near the Rosemary Branch, a n d wa s taken to Shoreditch Work house. _On the same morning the body of a youth of the name of William Trattell was observed in thelegent s Canal, adjoining Twig Folly. 50 50 50 25 St. St. St. St. 20 14 50 20 50 40 25 25 St. St. St. St. St. St. 5 St. Pald 20 20 12 Bt. 17 5 9 100 10 25 10 1.0.6, t)0 100 110 100 50 50 100 100 20 all 83 100 100 SPAIN. Advices have arrived from Madrid )f the 17th inst. They state that it was thougjit that the Ministers who had 'retired had not done so of their' own accord, but that their retirement had been de manded by the President of the Centel' that he might strengthen his Cabinet in order better to meet the Cortes. The Minister of the Interior had published a circular in which he dectares that he considers diligence, probity, and intell4pnce indis pensable in public functionaries. Madrid Bourse, Nov. 17.—The Three' per Cents., 47 ; Exchange on London, 50 60 paper. BELGIUM. The Central Section charged to exam fine the bud get for foreign affairs commissioned one of its mem bers to ask the Minister to furnish 'information relative to the state of the negociations with France on the subject of the literary convention. The Minister replied that he had no information to give, and charged the member to transmit these words, " Say that I have nothing to reply." The subject of the extradition of the Polish offi cers, naturalised Belgi ans, at the req ruest of the R uss i a n Government, i s now being it mutely dis cussed by the sections, where it meets vith general disapproval. The measure is looked upon as a breach of the law, as a want of national dignity, and as a subserviency to the Russian G overnment. GERMANY . A funeral service for the DUke of 'Wellington was performed on Thursday, in the garri son church at Berlin ; it was attended by detachments of all the troops in garrison in Berlin, the Generals, officers, and Princes of the Royal Family ; the body of the hurch and galleries were crowded with every variety of uniform, Lancers, Artillery, Cavalry of the Guard, Hussars, and the different regiments of the line ; the late Duke's oven P r ussia Ai regiment, the 28th, is at present quartered on the Rhie, and was not represented. The communid 1 table was draped with black cloth, and the st ands of the lighted alter candles were bound with ; crape. The decorations were of the amplest kit td, sufficing only to indicate the event, and, excel) .ting the ad dress of the preacher, there was little ii i the service itself that denoted the occa,,l en ; yet ii ; had much interest for the English present. It vi; Is a faint re flection of the grand solenulity being celebrated almost at the same hour in the 'Cathedral of st. P au l. It was the last mark of honour by an old national ally, to one whose n: ame is asso ciated with the greatest and most u nited effort Germany has ever made against a fore sign enemy. Of the Royal family there were pre sent Prince Albrecht, Prince Adalbe i t Prince Karl, and Prince George ; Genera l Wrangel, the 'Commander in-Chief of the province, and all the Ge nerals under his command, also attended The English Minister lord Bloomfield, is confined t o hi s r oom by ill ness d could not attend, but the Embas By was repre sented. by Mr. Bligh and ivi x. Norman., the attaches. Mr. Fay, the Secretary of the Ameri c;u3. Embassy, also attended the ceremonY. No :ot.ember of the Austrian Embassy was pre sent. The sermon was preached by the Military Chap lain of the division, M. -+ S -rains. He took his text from the third chapter of the Second Book of Samuel,-- "And the King said to his servants, know ye not that there is a Prince and a great ~. man en this day in Israel." _ . . --_. He gave a brief sketch of the late Duke's career ; his unequalled success and it,,, causes ; his success he ascribed to his wonderful talent as a commander and his stedfast and indomitable perseverance as a man ; but he was also suPPerted by the conscious ness of contending for ajust cause during his many conflicts, and after they ha,d ceased his simple and upright life, and his sense of piety, were as re markable as his brilliant trj untplis : he must have felt during his career that "God_ was with him." SWEDEN . The bulletin issued on . the wonting of the 12th is as follows : "His Majesty, whose feverish state again increased considerably in the afternoon, had another attack of bleeding at the nose in the evening_ This recurred se veral times in the course of the night, and hindered his Majesty from sleeping. In consequence of this, the Royal patient is considerably weaker than before. At four o'clock this afternoon, no improvement whatever had taken place in the King's State, and serious appre hensions are entertained. "The state of the Princess Eugenie appears to be somewhat improving, though the progress is so slow that it is almost imperceptible. The fever has subsided, and there is less prostration of strength." APPEARANCE OF MR. ROEBUCK IN THE HOUSE. — Last evening the hon. and learned member for Sheffield entered the house shortly after its sitting, and took the oaths along with several other hon. members. lie looked much better than when last seen in public, but there was a lack of that energy and activity in his man ner which characterised him during the greater part of last session. ~- ~ .

Boyce, arrived in the river from Po r t Philip, that she passed the ship Bourneuf, with emi grants, on the 2d of September, inside Port Philip Heads, proceeding towards Geelong, and that it was reported she had had 100 deaths on board during the voy age from England. The Bourneuf is a remarkably fine vessel, of 1,495 tons register, and belongs to Messrs. J. D. Spurr and Co., of Liverpool, from which port she cleared out under the inspection of officers appointed by her Majesty's Colonial and Land and Emigration Com missioners, and had on board when she sailed (according to the official returns) 257 adult males, 289 adult females, and 285 children ; total 831 passengers, besides a crew, including the captain and officers, of 50 men and four boys, making in all 885 persons, thus giving a propor tion of deaths of nearly 11A per cent. As the Eagle wa s under weigh when on her homeward voyage at the time, no details have been received of the melancholy circumstances under which such an afflicting havoc of human life has occurred, 1110 9 261 21 i 1021 2 i 704 70 1 60 15i 60i 60 7. 18b i LINES MUSED AT FIXEDRENTALS.
