We can sympa thise in his affliction, but we cannot sympathise in his exultation. The sudden death of the Princess ADELAIDE —a beloved sister, whose affection has been his solace, and whose masculine intelligence has been his reliance through many protracted and extraor dinary vicissitudes —whose fortunes have been iden tified with his own from th e ti me when they stood together as children at the knees of Madame DE GEN'. LIS, and from the day when, covered with the glory of Jemappes, he listened to the prediction of DANTON, that after the storms of the Revolution had sub sided he would become a King —the abrupt demise o f one who had been principally instrumental in fulfilling that prophetic assurance, and whom he had regarded throughout the wh o l e of his career with the tenderest devotion, is a calamit y second only to that which, in 1841, deprived Louis Pinuree of the heir to his roya l diadem. It is fortunate that at th e very period of this new and agonising cat as t rophe an occurrence should hav e transpired which, of a ll others, was perhaps the best calculated to temper the sadness o f the Monarch, and to moderate, in some measure, th e effects of his domestic misfortune. This propitious occurrence is about the most wonderful fact which will have to be recorded in the calendar of 1847. ARD-EL•aADER has been captured ! The Invisible, has been seen ; the Untangible has been touched ; the Unconquerable has been conquered ; the Victor of a hundred battles has delivered himself into the hands of a subordinate officer in Algeria ; the Lord of the Desert is a captive ! Incredible as this may appear, there is not a chink of fact nor a cranny of argument through which it can be doubted. If for a moment we can deceive ourselves into the belief that the Great EMIR is rejoicing in freedom, and galloping his war-horse over those sands which he had made his empire, the illusion would be dis pelled by the exultant dispatches of the Due D'AussA.Liz and of General LAMORICIERE. There can be no doubt whatever as to the reality of this most ir emorable event. ABD-EL-KADER is taken —the glory of the Mussulmans is extinguished—the hero of the Arabs has been circumvented—he is no longer the Mrs. Harris (f the Wilderness. It is impossible not to regard with feelings of pro found regret the downfal of this patriotic and heroic '~ TilE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 4, iB4lB. chieftain—the bravest adventurer, the most terrible • captain, and the most brilliant soldier of the age. It • is, nevertheless, satisfactory to find that the close of his martial destinies has been worthy of his splendid and unparalleled career—it is satis factory to learn that the valour of his past history has net been obliterated by a sudden panic or an ignominious subjugation. He has fallen like a true warrior tumid the ruins of his power—his sword blazing in the death-struggle — his followers annihilated by overwhelming numbers — himself haughtiest, noblest, least daunted, and most majestic in the very crisis of his destruction. The last achievements of this renowned man have been likened to those sublime evidences of generalship and heroism which, in the immortal campaign of 1814, surrounded the Emperor NepoLxois with an almost inconceivable glory and rendered his fame as a conqueror the most marvellous when his fortunes were doomed and his imperial throne was crumbling into dust. On the 11th and 12th of December, 1847, the Ellin, with a small band of adherents, assaulted the Moorish camps and utterly routed the enormous forces of ABDER• HAMAN. Notwithstanding this first success, how ever, the superiority of the dispersed army told with terrific emphasis upon the followers of ABD-EL.- KAMER, immediately the Moors had so far recovered from their panic as to retrace their footsteps, and bear down in vast numbers upon their assailants. After falling back upon the frontiers of Al geria, the EMIR was prevented from pro ceeding further by the extraordinary tur bulence of the weather, but on the 21st ultimo suc ceeded in conveying his companions across the ford of Moulonia, and conducted them safely into the plains of Triffa. According to the explanations which have been received as to his intentions, ABD. EL.KADER'S meditated acts would, if successfully accomplished, have crowned him with additional celebrity as the most valourous and magnanimous hero of his race. He projected first a proceeding of matchless generosity, and secondly an effort of singular and unequalled daring. His resolution was this, to carry his adherents in safety into the heart of the French territory, and then with a handful of devoted Arabs cut his way back through the immense army of the , Emperor of MOROCCO. With this view he pressed onwards into the country of the Beni-Snassens, reso lute in his determination to brave the guns and scimitars of ABDERAHMAN, or to perish as became a captain so illustrious. In this endeavour he was, nevertheless, worsted by the accidents of military destiny. Surrounded by the cavalry of LAMORICIERB, and confiding in the generosity of France, he yitylded himself to the representatives of that kingdom on the simple understanding that he should, at the pleasure of the Supreme Government, be conveyed either to St. Jean d'Acre or to Alexandria. Such has been the last change in the fate of this wonderful Arab — the most puissant among the Princes of Africa—the most memorable Emir of modern days he, whose appearance was as ter rible as the simoom, and as fickle as the mirage— he who was worshipped by the more super stitious among the Mussulmans as descended from the loins of MAttomET! Knowing that ABD-EL KADEIL is yet in the prime of his manhood, that his ambition is enormous, his energies inexhaustible, his contrivances little short of the miraculous, and his bravery unsurpassed, we are satisfied that his career ' has not terminated. His star has not descended ; it is only for a while eclipsed. A remarkable case was heard before Mr. Commis sioner PHILLIPS, at the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Friday last, which strongly illustrates the system which is suffered to prevail in the Universities—a system to which many young men of high promise owe the misery of their future lives, and to which parents, who have perhaps made considerable sacri fices to afford the advantages of an University edu cation to their child, may ascribe the utter failure of their reasonable expectations. The unfortunate vic tim in the present instance was a young man, little more than of age. He was the son of a country clergy man, who had seven other children to maintain out of an income of about 9001. per annum. Anxious however that his son should receive every possible benefit, and that his mind should not be dis tracted from his more serious studies by any pecu niary difficulties, the father allowed 2401. per annum for his use—a sum amply sufficient to afford every reasonable indulgence suited to his station in life, and, to his future position in society. With this liberal allowance the young man went to reside at Worcester College, Oxford, in the month of Oc tober, 184 g. He had scarcely taken possession of his apartments when crowds of tradesmen, wine merchants, tailors, boot makers, cigar sellers, &c. &c., solicited the honour of his custom, No inquiries were made either as to his means or prospects, or even the situation of his father. All that was then desired was to get his name into their books, trusting that they should eventually obtain payment. It would appear as if the poor young man at first felt some scruples about going into debt without a certainty of payment, but those scruples were speedily quieted, the kind tradesmen assuring him " that he should be able to pay them some time, and that they never dunned." Every facility was afforded : did he desire to make a present which would not well bear the examination of friends when the day of reckoning had arrived, a friendly jeweller was at hand to suggest that " a lady's locket or bracelet should be entered in the bill as a gentleman's _ring, as if the bill was to be investigated the real articles would never be allowed." The placards inviting cus tomers to another shop, announced that after two years' credit five per cent. would be charged. The result can scarcely be regarded with surprise. The raw boy just emancipated from school, and released from the paternal surveillance, and the monotonous quietude of a country parsonage, yielded to temptation, and speedily plunged into all the gaieties and extravagances by which he was surrounded. Within twenty months —for he had traversed the road to ruin with unusual speed—he had incurred debts to the amount of 2,3371. ss. 4d., contracted between the months of October, 1845, and June, 1847, of which he had re ceived consideration for 1,8651. 1,6971. was due to Oxford tradesmen. Within that period his tailor's bill amounted to 3011. ; the confectioner's, 461. ; the wine-merchant's, 56/. ; saddler's, 33/. ; there was also 1951. for boots ; and 981. for hats. The tradesmen could not, however, complete his ruin ; the aid of the money lender was requisite, and we accordingly find 9861. for money borrowed. The rate of discount may be judged from the fact that for two bills of 1001. each he received something less than 531. His reckless career was now brought to a con clusion. He was rusticated from his college, and his unhappy and bitterly disappointed parent, having removed his name from the books, the kind accomo dating tradesmen who never dunned—whom he should some day be able to pay, consigned him to a gaol, from whence, after six months' incarceration, he obtained a release through the Insolvent Debtors' Court, five shillings in the pound, which his afflicted father had in vain offered his creditors, havitlt been indignantly refused. It is not for the purpose of adding to the natural grief of his friends, or of increasing the remorse of the imprudent young► man, that we have made these remarks ; but that, if possible, one of the chief dangers by which a young man—a candidate most probably for one of the liberal professions is surrotvided on his entrance into life may be re moved. We have known many still more painful in stances, where young men of considerable talent had all their exertions paralysed, an I had to maintain a most painful struggle from the weight of debt with which they were encumbered when leaving the Universities. and starting into life. If members of the Church and bar were to relate their collegiate experiences, there are few who could not tell tales of blighted hope, of talents misapplied, and opportunities neglected—all the consequences of the same baneful system. It is not merely the amount of debt that is the chief evil. Idle an d extravagant habits are cultivated, from which many have never been able to emancipate themselves. Surely there can scarcely be found an evil of greater magnitude, or one more worthy of a legislative re medy. Any Act, however, that could be passed, would not be sufficient of itself to eradicate the vrievance. All cia,3es should combine together fer that purpose. Statutes will be evaded. If the debts cannot be recovered by law, credit will still be given, and exorbi.ant profits will be made j to counterbalance the increased risk. Parliament might, however, do much by extending the protection afforded by the statutes relating to minors to all undergraduates, and enacting that no subse quent promise shall give validity to any claims save for necessaries suited to the station and position of the parties. The University authorities may do stillmore by providing that every tradesman's bill who allows credit for more than one term should be examined by the proctors, and that if it contained improper items, or to too great an amount, that it might be reduced within proper limits. The heads of the several col leges, who have great power over the tradesmen of the town, might easily enforce the regulations which they might think it desirable to make. In genious devices, similar to that of the friendly jeweller, however, might be put in requisition to evade these regulations, and trinkets for ladies entered as " gentlemen's rings," or chains might escape the notice of the college tutor. Parents and guardians must also do their part, and it should be made known that such debts would never be liquidated. If all would resolutely discountenance the system it might at length be got rid of, and a serious danger would be removed from the way of those anxious to obtain an University education—a change which is not fully understood, or sufficiently estimated. The elections for the canton of Schwyz are over t and the majority of the Grand Council are Con servatives. The Vorort has disbanded a portion of the troops which occupied the canton of Lucerne. Letters from Athens, of the 12th December, an nounce -the settlement of the differences between Turkey and Greece. King OTno has at last con• rented to comply with all the demands of the SUL TAN. The apology to M. MUSSURUS has been already made, and that gentleman returns to Athens as Turkish Ambassador. On the 23d nit. the whole of the Austrian troops in the city of Ferrara withdrew into the citadel. The news from Naples is unsatisfactory. The KING is determined to grant no concessions, and civil war will probably be the consequence. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 27th ult. describes as insignificant the disturbances which served as a pretext to the Duke of Memo . a to call in the Aus trians. At Modena, on the 12th ult., about one hun dred persons assembled on the Bologna road, without the gates, to salute Monsignor CORBOLI Bussi. Three persons were arrested, two of whom were Israelitees • On the following night seditious cries were uttered at the theatre, and after the play groups were collected in the adjoining square, which were quickly dispersed by a patrol. At Reggio a similar scene occurred at the theatre, and after the performance two bands of about one hundred and fifty men each traversed the streets vociferating seditious cries. One of them dis persed on being summoned to do so, and the other having refused to obey was charged by a detach ment of dragoons, who, however, made no use of their arms. It is stated in a letter from Naples of the 23d ult., addressed to the Patria of Florence, that the general commanding in chief the Swiss troops had declared to the KING that, in obedience to their oath, they were ready to give their blood and their lives to defend him against foreign forces, but not against his subjects. For this, the letter adds, the commandant had re ceived the praises of a great number of Neapolitans, and a grand demonstration was projected in honour of the Swiss. There was also a talk of striking a medal, with an inscription flattering to them. The Duke DE SERRA CAPRIOLA has, says the Patria, re fused to proceed to Sicily, unless he be authorised to make concessions. Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have been received It was rumoured in Madrid that NARVAEZ had resigned, and that a Mon and Pidal Ministry had been appointed. The rumour, however, gained but little credit, although it is certain that the ultra- Afrancesados have completely out-manoeuvred NAIL TAEZ. General CORDOYA, will, it is said, be the new Inspector of Infantry. MADRID Boma, Du.. 27.—The Three per Cents. were done at 281, at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at 1511 ; the Debt without interest at 5, for paper ; and the Coupons, at 10i, for cash. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Dtbats gives an official contradiction to the rumour that the Swiss Vorort had demanded the recal of M. BOIS LE COMTE. The Moniteur publishes the official dispatches of the Duke D'Au MALE and of General LAMORICIEBB, giving a detailed account of the events which led to the surrender of ABD-.EL-KIDER. On the night of the 11th and 12th be attacked the Moorish camp, and routed the Moorish army, but when daylight came, and the Moors discovered the small number of his followers, they hemmed him in, and by the force of numbers compelled him to retreat towards Algeria. On the 21st he proceeded towards the plain of Triffa, with the intention of seeing his fol lowers in safety on the French territory, having re solved himself with a small band to return and cut his way through the Moors, or perish in the attempt. The dispatch of the Duke D'AumALE thus describes his surrender : " Monsieur le Ministre,—A great event has just taken place ; Abd-el-Kader is in our camp, beaten by the Kabyls of Morocco, driven from the Moulonia plain by Muley-Abd- er-Rhainants forces, abandoned by most of his followers, who had sought refuge on our territory, he had thrown himself into the Beni- Snassen's country, and was striving to take the road to the south, which the Emperor of Morocco had left free; but, surrounded in that direction by our cavalry, he has confided in the generosity of Franco, and has surrendered on condition of being sent to Alexandria or St. John of Acre. As I had informed your Ex cellency, the Emir had, thanks to a stratagem as bold as it was ingenious, surprised, on the night of the 11th, the Moorish camps; that attack, which has in flicted great loss on the Emperor's Makgsen, appears to have been completely successful ; but Abd-el- Kader had to deal with such numerous enemies that he was compelled to stop before the multitude and the compact mass of his opponents ra ther than before a defence which appears to have been almost insignificant. He therefore joined his deira and concentrated all his forces and people towards the mouth of the Moulonia, befween the left bank of that river and the sea. The Moorish camps continued to draw closer the circle that enveloped him. General Lamoriciere had sent to the Kaid of Ouchda thirty mule loads of cartridges, which were distributed to the Beni-Snassens. A similar quantity had been sent to the Kaid of the Rif. The Kabyl contingents increased in all parts, and were a more formidable danger to the Emir than all the rest. Bad weather delayed the engagement for some days, and also deprived the deira of all freedom of action. On the 21st the Moulonia was fordable. The baggage and families of the Emir's companions began to pass it in order to come into the Triffa plain. Abd• el-Kader's intention was to conduct them even to our territory, and then retire to the south with such as might choose to follow him. The road had been left free by the Moors, and the Beni-Ben- Ziggous and Hamynn-Gharabas, who were still in communication with him, promised to facilitate the execution of that project. The commencement of the passing of the river was the signal for the combat, which the Kabyls, attracted by the hope of booty, engaged with fury; but the Emir's infantry and re gular cavalry maintained to the last their old reputa tion, and resisted all day. Not a mule nor any baggage was taken. At night they had lost half of their men ; the remainder dispersed ; the whole deira reached the French territory ; and the Moors dis continued the pursuit. Abd-el-Kader, after having in person led the emigration to our territory, and placed it in the Mesirda country, left it ; a few of his party determined on following him ; he lived among a fraction of the Beni-Snassens, who had re mained faithful to his cause ; it was thereby that he hoped to reach the south; but General Lamori ciere, informed of what was passing, guessed what his design was. Twenty Spahis, commanded by an intelli gent and trustworthy officer, Lieutenant Ben Khouia, had been, on the evening of the 21st, on the first news arriving, sent in observation to the pass of Kerbous ; reports of musketry soon denoted a com bat in that direction ; it was Abd-el-Kader, who was encountering our Spahis. General Lamoriciere, who, in the night, had made his column take arms, rapidly advanced with his cavalry. The Emir had in his favour darkness, and a difficult country with numerous passes unknown to our e claireurs ; he could easily flee. But two of his horsemen, brought by Ben Khouia himself, soon came up, and announced to the General that he was ready to surrender, and that he only demanded t o be * conducted to Alex andria, or St. John of Acre. The convention was immediately orally concluded, and soon after ratified in writing by General Lamoriciere. This very after- noon Abd-el-Kader has been received at the Sidi Brahim Marabout, by Colonel Montauban, who was soon after joined by Generals Lamoriciere and Ca vaignac—Sidi Brahim, the theatre of the Emir's last success, and which Providence seems to have pointed out to be the theatre of his last and most striking reverse, as a sort of expiation for the mas sacre of our unfortunate comrades ! An hour after Abd•el-Fader was conducted to me at Nemours, whither I had arrived that very morning. I ratified the word pledged by General Lamoriciere, and firmly hope that the King's Government will also sanction it. I informed the Emir that I should em bark him as early as to-morrow, with his family, for Oran ; he submitted, but not without some emotion and repugnance, c'est la derniere goutte du calice I He shall remain there some days properly guarded, _ to be joined by some of his followers, and among others, by his brothers, one of whom, Sidi Mustapha, to whom I had sent the aman, surrendered on the 18th to General Lamoriciere, and has been provisionally condemned to Tlemcen. When they shall be to gether, I shall send them to Marseilles, where they will receive the Government's orders. As your Ex cellency will see by General Lamoriciere 's report, whilst the Emir was submitting, the chiefs of his deira were applying for the aman. That aman was granted: the deira is now encamped at four leagues from this place. I shall shortly inform your Ex cellency of the measures that shall have been adopted towards the deira and the Khialas, who have indi- vidually come and surrendered at Nemours. * Due, without fresh combats on our part, to the moral influence of France, the result we have this day obtained is immense; it was generally unhoped for. It is impossible to describe the deep sensation it has produced among the :natives of this region, and the effect will be the same throughout Algeria. It is quite a revolution." (The remainder of the dispatch commends the conduct of the officers and troops serving on the frontier of Morocco ) A postscript, dated thelmorning of the 24th of December, adds : " I think it proper to mention here a circumstance apparently of little importance, but most significant in the eyes of the natives. Abd-el-Kader has just sent me a horse of submission ; it is an act of vassal age towards France, and the public consecration of his abdication." In consequence of the surrender of ABD-EL KADER ,he funds have risen one and a half per cent. __ . The KING is much affected by the death of his sister, and is ill in consequence. He was, however, to have gone to Dreux last night, to be present at the funeral. M. GUIZOT, unmindful of the consequences which arose from the destitution of the professors of the College of France (of whom he himself was one) by the Villele Ministry, is following the example of that Ministere deplorable, and has suspended M. MICHELET, the ll/ Professor of History in Paris, and dismissed M. BERARD from his office of Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier. The last pro fessor of history who was suspended became a Minister—his name is GUIZOT, and the Minister who suspended him, the Count DE PETRONNET, became a prisoner in the fortress of Ham. M. MicHELET will no doubt accept the omen. Will M. GUIZOT do the same ? The Dean of the Academy of Montpellier, in an nouncing to M. BERARD his dismissal, says— " The Minister of Public Instruction directs me to announce to you that he has thought fit to dismiss you from the office of Dean of the Faculty of Medi cine, and to inform you that your position as an ad ministrator was incompatible with the public letter by which you addressed to all the branches of the administration the false and odious charge of corrup , ion. The administration in which you have the honour of holding so important a function, adds the Minister, would appear to admit the truth of the ac cusation, if it allowed itself to be represented any longer by the person who could subscribe such words." In his answer M. BERARD merely says— " I avow that I am singularly surprised that the Minister should treat the accusations of corruption as false, when celebrated processes have proved, in a manner the most evident and the most authentic that could possibly be done, before the ordinary tribunals of justice, that corruptions and persons corrupted had been found precisely among the class of Ministers. I quit the office of Dean of the Faculty, which I never asked, and which was offered to me, for a cause which does me honour in the eyes of all honest and inde dependent citizens. The Minister is right in saying that I could no longer occupy the place of Dean." We read in the Presse :—" The announcement that Madame ADELAIDE'S fortune amounts to 100,000,000 francs is a mistake. The annual income of her _Royal Highness was near 1,800,000 francs, representing a capital of 60,000,000 francs,. which, according to her will, are to be thus disposed of :—Two millions:to the young Duke DE CHARTRES, second !son of the late Duke D'ORLEANS ; ten millions to the Duke DE NIP* MOURS ; a million yearly to various private legacies; and the rest of her fortune between the Prince DE JoINTILLE and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. It is asserted, that in order to diminish as much as possible the disastrous consequences which the suspension of the usual winter parties and royal receptions must have on trade, the Duke DE liistovas intends giving, towards the end of the season, some soiries in the Pavilion Marsan." The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera at '76f. 4210. MARSEILLES, DEc. 28.—Marseilles and Avignon, 590 f. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JAN. 3. The only sale was—Rouen and Havre, 17. DEATH of MR. ALDERMAN LUCAS. Died, at his residence, Waterinbury, county of Kent, on Sunday night, of the prevailing epidemic, after a very short illness, Matthias Prime Lucas, Esq , in the 88th year of his age. The deceased was a native of London, and served his time to his father as a lighterman, and for a number of years toiled as hard as any member of the class to which he belonged, and through his industrial habits and success in busi ness he realised an immense fortune. It is stated that he has left landed and funded property to the amount of between 300,000/. and 400,0001. At the period when Napoleon projected the invasion of this country the deceased Alderman was most active in the raising of a body, now defunct, but which at the time was known to the country as the "River Fencibles," and of which body he was appointed Commodore, which he held until that body ceased to exist; and in that capacity one act of his deserves notice. When the fleet which was destined to attack Denmark was being got ready, thE re was a difficulty to man it, when Mr. Commodore Lucas so forcibly represented the necessity of the fleet being fully equipped, that he succeeded in getting nearly the whole body of the Fencibles to volunteer, and to the bravery of the London watermen and lightermen were the country indebted for those brilliant victories of Copenhagen, the Nile, and Trafalgar ; it laid the foundation of an intimate friendship with the naval heroes of the day, and on each anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, Mr. Alderman Lucas always entertained those living, who commanded in those conflicts ; the enter tainment usually took place at Portsmouth, and which the venerable Alderman continued up to the last year of his existence. Being intimately con nected with Tower Ward by his shipping and mer cantile transactions, upon the death of Sir William Curtis, in 1821, he was unanimously elected to the vacant aldermanic gown, and the following year he served the office of Sheriff; and in 1827 became Lord Mayor. During the year of his mayoralty the presidency of Bartholomew's Hospital became vacant, to which he succeeded, and retained up to his death. He was also Prime Warden of the Waterman's Company, and twice Master of the Worshipful Company of Vintners, all of which are at present vacant. By the Governors and others of Bartholomew Hospital, on the completion of his 85th year, two magnificent silver salvers were presented to the de ceased. To the poor of Waterinbury his loss will be irreparable, the whole of which parish he purchased some years since for about 80,0001, and on which he has expended about 140,0001. He carried out in the full sense of the word the " Old English Gentleman," entertaining strong Conservative principles. He was born on the 6th Nov., 1761, and was in the full enjoyment of his health and faculties until within a few days of his decease. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—His Royal High ness's usual visit to Claremont at the close of the shoot ing season will not take place this week, as a succession of visitors is expected at the Castle for almost every day during the present week. PANAMA, Nov. 21.—The Pacific Steam Naviga tion Company's steam-ship Chile, from Callao, arrived here on the 21st of November, bringing, in addition to her usual passengers and cargo, the mails in continua tion with tho company's steamer New Granada, which left Valparaiso on the 28th of October from the under mentioned ports in Chili, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Nvw Granada of the respective dates as under-noted : Chili—Valparaiso, October 28 ; Coquimbo, 29 ; Bl asco, 30 ; Copiapo, 30.

OPENING OP THE WESTMINSTER FREE SCHOOLS.— Yesterday, the extensive range of buildings situate in Gardener's-lane, York-street, Westminster, recently erected by the governors and trustees of Lady Dacre's ty, and Phu parish of Christ Church, Westminster, publicly cpcned, They aro calculated to aco. -, ir, modute 400 children of both sexes, who will be edu cated, and 50 of each clothed, free of all expense to their parents, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales were 5,000 bales, of which 4,000 bales were American at 4id. to 6d. per lb. There was less of the staple offering. Shares were but little dealt in, and were rather flatter. There have not been very late arrivels announced in the City this morning. A meeting of the private creditors of Mr. Charles Trueman was called for and met this afternoon, but there was admittance given only to parties having claims upon the concern. We are, therefore, unable to state any of the details laid before the meeting. It is stated in the last letters received from Canada, that the Government of the colony has the intention of taking command of all the electric telegaaphs that may be constructed. Two very important documents had arrived out from the mother country. The Caerebec Gazette, with reference to them, state as follows: " It will be recollected that all the Acts of the Ca nada Legislature for raising a revenue, or appropriating the expenditure, have a clause requiring accountability to the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury. The new re gulations will probably secure some check, likely to be more efficient than that of those who impose the taxes, vote the money and divide it among themselves and connexions. " The dispatch of the 3d of May, 1641, signed by Lord John Russell, who is now Prime Minister, may be considered as in full force, and will certainly be acted upon by the present Government. " Perhaps it would be well for all those who have been in power, legislative or executive, since 1841, to inquire how far they have fulfilled their part of the engagement, and particularly how far at the end of six years they have a ailitia ready to co-operate with her Majesty's forces in support of the honour of the Crown' and the defence of the country, in fulfillment of their duty and their oaths, should that spirit of con quest and rapine which is now desolating Mexico be directed to the British North American provinces. " We are sure that, under no circumstances, will the British Government decline the performance of its duty, so forcibly expressed in the dispatch." There has been a fair quantity of business transacted in the Public Securities to-day. Many transfers have been made in the Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, at 851 to ;in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 86/ to 86i; while Consols for the Account have ranged from 85/ to 851. The present value is a shade; lower. Ex chequer-bills have touched 17s. premium, and East India Bonds under 1,000/., Ss. premium. Bank Stock has rea lised 1881. The Foreign Bonds have also been in good request.

TOBACCO.—There was an improved demand for come descriptions towards the latter part of last month, and sales rather exceeded 1,250 hhds. The market has not presented any decided character, excepting that for selections possessing colour, an advance has been submitted to ; undoubtedly the prospective views of importers are, that higher prices will be on tained as the season advances, and some of the reasons assigned are unquestionably deserving consideration ; but with the present stock, and an average importation , the consequences assigned of a considerable contraction by the planters, and the estimated large deficiency to result from this circumstance, are probably too remote to have any immediate effect on the market. In taking A retrospective view of the Tobacco market for the last twelve months, prices have been subject to a very trifling fluctuation, whilst almost every other kind of produce has been seriously depressed. In Virginia, sales have been 350 hhds., principally of good and fine qualities; for Ireland and Scotland, at present quo. , tations, parcels hitherto sampled have been in very good condition, and superior quality to that of last year's importation ; there has been more inquiry for ordi nary sorts for exportation, and limited sales have been: effected. In Kentucky leaf and strips, sales have been 300 hogsheads of leaf and 600 hogsheads of strips, and in some instances for selections as an advance on previous rates. The importation itiay be considered decidedly superior in many respects to that of last year, the only deficiency being that of colour. There has been an improved inquiry for mid aid ord sorts for exportation. Maryland—A few hhds have been taken at 5d to 6d. In Havannah Leaf a very limited business has been done, owing to the reduced stocks of suitable qualities, nearly the whole of which is in the hands of the trade. Sales of a few bales have been made at advanced rates. Havannah Cigars have been in moderate recineat, and sales difficult to effect. Manilla Cheroots have been ne glected, both for home trade and exportation. Cuba has been in good demand, and a. fair extent of business has been transacted. In St. Domingo nothing done ; stock nearly exhausted For Co lumbian lea of good and fine quality, the demand has continued very steady at present quotations. In Negro-head and Cavendish sales have been to a mode rate extent; an improved demand is confidently expected as the season advances. Stalks are in good demand. -YESTERDAY.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Ilomiorn.) IN RE WARD. This insolvent, described as of Union-street, South wark, butcher, came up to apply for protection under the 28th section of the Insolvent Act. His final order had been adjourned, so that the creditors might take him in execution, which, however, they had not done. lie was again opposed. Mr. STURGEON, on behalf of the insolvent, showed that, , although he had :not been in custody, he had been paying money to his creditors for forbearance. His HONOUR, therefore, considered him entitled to protection. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman GIBBs). John Williams, 19, a shoemaker, who pleaded Guilty to an indictment, charging him with stealing a horse-cloth, value 55., the property of Richard Deacon, was brought up for judgment this morning. The prisoner has been twice formerly convicted. The RECORDER sentenced him to 18 months' im prisonment and hard labour. George Atkinson, 48, a labourer, who pleaded Guilty to an indictment, charging him with un lawfully breaking and entering the shop of Mr. John Bennett, a jeweller, Cheapside, was also brought up for judgment. From the statements of the prosecutor, it appeared that the, prisoner thrust through one of the panes of the window an immense stick, and attempted to carry off some gold chains, but was stopped by the police. It appeared also that the prisoner had formerly been the inmate of a lunatic asylum. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, observed that the judgment he was about to pronounce was intended both to protect the public and the prisoner. That sentence was that he should be imprisoned in the House of Correction for one year, notice being sent to the surgeon of that prison to attend to the pri soner, for the purpose of observing whether any symptoms of insanity should take place. William Frayland, a boy only eleven years of age, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a purse containing a sovereign, two half crowns, and other monies, the property of Richard Fulk, from the person of Mary Fulk. It appeared from the statements of the police that the prisoner though young in years was old in iniquity, that he lived in a house where there was fourteen or fifteen other thieves, and that he was a most expert pickpocket, his age preventing all sus picion with respect to him. The policeman further stated that he saw the prisoner pick the pockets of two ladies in the course of a few minutes, he having at that time two younger practitioners in the art of thieving with him who he was initiating into the mysteries of his profession. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, observed that it appeared almost useless to attempt to reclaim the prisoner. If he had been sure that he could have obtained admission into Parkhurst's prison, he would have sentenced him to transportation, but, as he had been informed that in a case like the prisoner's there would be a difficulty, it was his intention to sentence him to the longest term of imprisonment he had it in his power to inflict, in order that if the permission of the Secretary of State could be obtained, he might be transferred to the House of Occupation. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced him to three years' imprisonment in the House of Correction and hard labour. MISDEMEANOUR.—A CHARGE OF RlOT.—Richard Partridge, 22, a carpenter, John Laurence, the elder, 53, a labourer, Henry Lanford, 23, slater, Thomas Laurence, a gardener, John Laurence, the younger, and Usher, who were remanded from last Sep telpher by Mr. Justice Patteson were charged with a misdemeanour in causing a riot and assault. Mr. Ballantine was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the defendants. It appeared that the riot and assault arose out of a quarrel between Usher and the prosecutor, the former asserts himself to be a partner with the prosecutor in a shoe business at Holloway, and the latter asserts that he was only his journeyman. The assault and riot took place on a Sunday, when Usher attempted to seize the books connected with the business ; the attempt to do which ended in the disturbance in question. The prosecutor, a person of the name of Reid, had married the sister of the defen dant Usher, who, on the day in question, went to the house of the prosecutor in company with the prisoner, and insisted on keep ing possession for Usher, as he was the prosecutor's partner. The prosecutor, who, it appeared, had heard of the intended assault and battery upon his premises, had prepared himself to receive them by having four men in the house. Upon discovering this the defendant Usher went out and fetched in several navvies, who were working in the neighbour hood, and who assaulted the prosecutor with a spade on the head, and a regular row ensued, for causing which the defendants were now placed upon their trial. Shortly after the case had been opened, The RECORDER suggested whether it would not be better for all parties that the defendants should plead Guilty, and enter into their own recognizances to keep the peace. If they were desirous of keeping the peace, surely they could not adopt a better course. After some observations from Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Prendergast the case proceeded, and the prose cutor Reid was examined at some length by Mr. Ballantine, and cross-examined by Mr. Prendergast, but no facts of any importance were elicited from him further than we have stated. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) The Court was occupied during the whole of the morning in trying Mint cases, which, as usual, were devoid of interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The January quarter sessions for the county of Middlesex for the year 1848, commenced this morning at the Court-house, Clerkenwell- green, before the Assistant-Judge and a full b e nch of magistrates. The number of prisoners for trial were 79. The AssisTANT-JUDGE briefly addressed the grand jury. HOLLAND PARK. Mr. BouluN said he had the honour to appear on behalf of Lord Holland, to move the Court to enroll the proceedings instituted by his Lordship to divert the footpath which crosses Holla nd Park. Upon the previous occasion when application was made for the same purpose an objection was taken by the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, that certain information existed the document which FIll;:111 I.e altered before en .. rolment. Since that time those informalities had been rectified, and now nothing remained to be done but to move that the proceedings should be enrolled .
