SUSPENSION BRIDGES.—At a meeting of the Clif ton re Suspension -bridge Committee last week, Mr. West's 011 1 . Prts on the principle of wire suspension-bridges were read the . s uspension -bridges of France and Switzerland, most of the Fribourg h are of wire.

Don Giovanni in London was produced at this little theatre last night, and introduced to the London boards, in the part of its hero, a young lady named Byron, and an excellent re presentative she was of the gay deceiver. Miss Byron is a blonde—has a pretty and very agreeable face, made to sparkle with the pleasantry of comedy, and a graceful figure. She has also a voice of good compass and quality, remarkable par ticularly for its contralto notes. She sings with taste and animated expression, in so much that she only requires study under a:Liverati or Crevelli to become a really valuable operatic singer. For her own sake we should hope that she has not abandoned schooling, in order to give herself up wholly to the gratifications of a brilliant opening career at a minor theatre. Miss Byron is no novice on the stage—her acting is of the true Euphrosyne style—light, laughing, easy and buoyant. In the well-known song " Day has gone down" she was warmly en cored, and in every respect her performance was most flatter ingly received. At the close of the performance of Don Giovanni, last evening, at the Strand Theatre, in which Miss Byron made her debut as the hero, the following impromptu, written in pencil, was thrown on the stage : Charming, lovely, sweet Miss Byron, When you put the male attire on, Who can see your witching carney, And not admire e'en " Don Giovanni." But recollect there's a fair Syren, Another Don, quite a la " Byron;" And when you'd represent a new one, Prithee don't forget " Don Juan." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1835.

The Tories celebrated their success in South Hants, in returning their members Messrs. Fleming and Compton, by giving them a dinner on Tuesday at the Beneficial So ciety's Hall in Portsea. This was one of a series of dinners which are given throughout South Hants, in each district ; the Gosport and Fareham one takes place to-morrow at Gosport A great deal had been talked - of respecting this Portsea dinner : it was to be a marked event, which, in the future history of the locality, was to have an unheard-of weight in the local influence. Great preparations were therefore made to get up a procession to meet the success ful candidates at a distance of four miles from the town ; their friends and hirelings were assembled by advertise ment, and from these a special committee of six, including a Naval Baronet who has ratted with the change of Ad ministration, and a printer who has changed over with the set of the tide, advanced half a mile still further on the road to meet the candidates, and met them accordingly, and the whole procession was arranged at Hilsea Green, which is three miles and a half frem Portsmouth. The day was fine, but cold ; and we rejoice that neither Mrs. Fleming nor Mrs. Compton were present, though the Portsmouth populace had been promised such a treat. These ladies, much to their credit, wisely, discreetly, and matronly, kept away, and gave at once an instance of their good taste and womanly feeling. The procession was cer tainly a long one ; it comprised two bands of music, and about fifty flags and streamers. First came the two con ductors with twelve flags, followed by a band of music ; then about 300 noisy fellows (not an elector among them), who joined the party in hopes of some porter or a half crown ticket, hundreds of which were freely disposed of ; then came the fortunate Tory Members, followed by about 150 persons and boys, on horses and ponies, with a second band of music, interspersed with flags ; and the procession closed with about fifty vehicles, of which five were drawn by four horses, one of which contained the boys of a pre paratory school here. Though the procession was long, it was spiritless ; not a single cheer could they raise from the thousands of spectators through whom it passed—all the hurraing was among themselves ! At the halfway houses some of the Reformers had formed arches of Rats across the road, with men with brooms (Brougham) in their hands endeavouring to sweep them away ; in other places, owls were discovered in ivy bushes (the ivy was the Tory em blem). Large placards of the relative numbers of the Reformers and the Tories in the New Parliament were hung across the streets, and loud cries of " Three Rats for a guinea !" incessantly shouted. This alluded to the seven-shilling refreshment tickets liberally given at the last election, and which dirty bribe bought several freehold votes, to the shame of such constituents be it spoken; The whole party perambulated the town and suburbs, and the members addressed the mob in the square. A dinner followed upon this, at which Daniel Grigg Hewitt, Esq., presided, and at which were present the South Hants County Members ; Mr. Hay, Member for Southampton ; Mr Price, Member for Sandwich ; Sir Harry Burrard Neale ; Sir Lucius Curtis ; and about 150 other gentlemen. It is needless to say, the dinner passed off well. They were all of the same opinion ; and there fore nothing occurred to interrupt the harmony. Plenty of speeches were exhibited, applauding the present Govern ment and deprecating the past. Mr. Price, the Member of Parliament for Sandwich, was particularly eloquent, and the worthy Chairman never sung " Paddy Cary" in better style than he did in the course of the evening. Only one per sonality occurred during the evening, and that was on the occasion of the health of the neighbouring clergy being proposed, when a gentleman, Mr. J. N. Robinson, inter posed, and requested of the Chairman that the two Mr. Henvilles might be excepted from this toast. These gentle men are brothers ; one is a Whi n , the other is of no party ; but, because they had not joined the Tories, Mr. Robinson wished them put under ban. His proposition found no seconder, and the clergy universally of the neighbourhood, as they deserve to be, were toasted with loud cheers. A good joke occurred in the town. A Tory tailor, who had determined to dine with the party, and who lives in the market-place, shut up his shop at four o'clock in the after noon ; his friends consequently wrote on his shutters in chalk, " Not dead, but gone to be stuffed !"

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1835. ment of the Bank. The total amount of cash that has passed through the hands of the Bank during the last year was 7,694,896,000 francs, being 185,451,000 francs more than during 1833. The maximum of the funds in the trea sury of the Bank during the last year was 180,814,600 francs, and the minimum 119,304,000 francs, but this last was only for a very short period. The maximum of Bank notes in circulation was 222,284,000 francs, and the mini mum 192,358,000 francs. It was further stated, that out of the notes issued by the Bank since the time of its institu tion, amounting to 1,208,900,000 francs, there had been re turned and cancelled notes to the amount of 956,000,000 francs, leaving still outstanding notes to the amount of 252,500,000 francs. Of these last, 39,543,500 francs only were old bills, 61,424,000 francs are in duplicate bills, and 151,532,500 francs in the new bills, which were first issued . in September 1831. Out of the notes to the amount of 336,000,000 francs issued by the Bank during the first fifteen years of its existence, there re mained outstanding only to the amount of 600,000 francs, the greater part of which may be considered as having been totally lost or destroyed, and therefore unlikely to be ever presented for payment. As to forged bills, it has been as certained that, during the whole of the 32 years, they had not exceeded in amount 80,000 francs, part of which had been paid by the Bank in order to enable it to prosecute the forgers, and limit this species of fraud. The 67,900 Bank shares were, at the end of tile year, in the hands of 3,876 proprietors. The total amount of the transactions of the Bank during the year was 7,694,896,151 francs ; namely, in notes 4,080,676,500 francs, in specie 640,981,474 francs, and in checks or drafts 2,973,238,177 francs. In order to destroy all apprehension of an increase in the ex penses of the establishment, the following statement was made :—ln 1829, these expenses were 952,105 francs 40 cents. In 1830, on account of the crisis, they rose to 1,021,012 francs 56 cents. In 1831 they fell to 963,743 francs 31 cents. In 1832, to 936,961 francs 33 cents. In 1833, to 914,573" francs 90 cents, and in 1834, to 906,476 francs 81 cents. The general meeting then re-elected M. Moreau, Censor for the ensuing three years, and Messrs. Cottier, Mallet, and Lafond, Regents for the ensuing five years. PARIS, FEB. 9.—The regiments of provincial militia in garrison in Andalusia have begun their march towards the North, whither it seems resolved to send reinforcements. It was reported on 'Change that the letters from the frontier announced that Elisondo was really relieved and re-victualled, as the Moniteur had stated. It was on the 4th or sth that the movement of the Queens troops took place, and it -is added that they had passed through the French territory to execute their operations with success. We relate this latter circumstance without answering for its truth. PARIS, FEE. IO.—A dispatch from Bayonne, dated Feb. 7, announces that on the 4th of this month, Mina sent 600 men to occupy and fortify Lumbier. The first division is gone into Castille to hinder the incursions of the Biscayons and Alavese.— Ilioniteur. (Lumbier is a small town to the east of Pampeluna, on the frontiers of Aragon, and of some importance on account of its position.) BAYONNE, FEB. s.—On the approach of the column of General Mina's reserve, commanded by Orana, which entered Elisondo on the 3d of this month, the Carlists who blockaded the place retreated. However,. Don Francis Asura, Captain of the Chapelgoris, who was in the Al dudes (in France) with 30 soldiers, found it impossible to go to Elisondo. General Mina has caused a bando to be published throughout the kingdom of Navarre to announce that every muleteer who shall convey exports from France to the Carlists shall be shot on the spot. We know from good authority that several of these muleteers are known to have conveyed letters to the Carlists. In Guipuscoa and Alava the Carlists have made a forced levy of 2,500 young men, who were immediately armed. Zumalacarreguy, with ten battalions of Navarre, and Alava and his cavalry, occupied on the Ist of this month the village of Orgin, a league from Logorno. Letters from the frontier of Spain of the sth say that Orana after he had relieved Elisondo, proceeded on the 4th to St. Esteban, and drove out the junta of Navarre, which retreated to Yansi. On the same day, a column of the Queen's troops destroyed the forge and manufactory of arms which the Carlists had at Donna Maria. There was a report at Bayonne, of an action on the 31st, between ten battalions of Zumalacarreguy's and the divisions of Lorenzo ; but neither the result of the battle, nor the place where it took place was known. These letters contradict the ac count of the taking of Bergara, Reynosa, and Maestu, by the Carlists.—Bonssens. Our correspondent at Bayonne writes to us, on the 6th of Feb.—" We have just received from St. Sebastian the following bulletin ;—‘ Brigadier Iriarte has just had an ac tion with the insurgent leader Castor, in the valley of Mena, near Barranga, in which the latter lost sixty men killed and seventy prisoners, besides some waggons with corn and other necessaries.'

FRENCH PAPERS. The Moniteur of Tuesday contains the following de spatch, dated Bayonne, 7th inst.:-- " On the 4th Mina sent six hundred men to fortify and occupy Lumbier. The first division of the army has passed into Castile to prevent the incursions of the insurgents of Biscay and Alava. Lumbier (continues the Moniteur) is a small town, situate to the east of PampPluna, on the frontier of Arragon. Its position is important." The Journal des Debats contains the following, under. date Madrid, Feb. I.: " Matinez de la Rosa is somewhat indisposed from the effects of a cold, but his illness does not appear to be any way dangerous. The Council of Ministers met twice at his house. The city is tranquil. The debates in the Cham bers are destitute of interest. The Committee of the do mestic or internal debt had not yet terminated its labours, nor was it expected that its report would be ready before the close of the month. Intelligence of the complete reco very of Mina's health had reached Madrid. The general was about to commence his operations, after having entirely organised the army of Navarre. The regiments of provin cial militia quartered in Andalusia have set out on their march fer the army of the North, which the Government appeared determined to reinforce. A regiment coming from Saragossa was ordered to halt at Guadalaxara. It was in tended that it should act against Merino, who has appeared in the neighbourhood with 1,000 or 1,200 men." The Courrier Francais states that the agents of Don Carlos are actively employed in Leghorn, collecting arms and ammunition, two cargoes of which had been already sent, and landed on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. A French armed brig was cruising along the coast of Tuscany, but the Carlist vessels set its vigilance at defiance. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees, of the sth, mentions that the officers of a regiment of the Royal Guard quartered in Saragossa had attempted to excite the soldiers to declare in favour of Don Carlos ; but the latter had resisted and ar rested their officers, four of whom were subsequently shot. The following is the address to the Queen Regent of Spain, on the mutiny of January 18th, voted by the Chamber of Procuradores :—" Madam,—Yielding to their feelings of unalterable fidelity, the Deputies of the kingdom approach the throne of your august and innocent daughter, Queen Isabella 11., to participate in the grief which must have been excited in the generous heart of your Majesty by the momentary defection of a portion of her subjects. The Deputies of the kingdom, who are the faithful inter preters of the sentiments and wishes of the nation they re present, would be wanting in the duties imposed upon them by the confidence placed in them, in their obligations to the throne of her Majesty, and to themselves, if they did not make a formal declaration against the deplorable and scandalous transaction of the 18th inst. The grief which this lamentable event has inflicted upon them can only be compared to the horror with which it has inspii•ed them, and the blame which they cannot but cast upon it. Nevertheless, a great consolation has listened the bitterness of these feelings. They have found this consolation in the noble conduct and remarkable prudence of the inhabitants of the capital, in the fidelity of the garrison, in the loyalty of the Urban militia, and in the discipline and conduct of both, ready to obey the voice of their Chiefs, and to be obe dient to the laws. They showed an equal contempt for death, and for the perfidious cries of the rebels ; refusing to listen to any thing but the dictates of their duty and their consciences, which are the only directors -of good citizens and of soldiers worthy of that honourable appellation. Such are the sentiment s of the Spanish army, the Urban militia, thr people, and the Chamber, which takes pride and plea sure in testifying them to your Majesty. Let your Ma jesty be perfectly assured that the Deputies of the kingdom will ever be eager to render you their entire co-operation in repressing rebellion and sedition, with whatever cloak they may cover themselves, in maintaining the Statute Royal, the fundamental laws of the kingdom, public order, the throne of your august daughter, and respect and obe dience to your Majesty. We hope your Majesty will ac cept this pure homage and sincere loyalty, which the Cham ber considers as a sacred duty in it to offer to your Majesty." The following is a summary of the report made by the Council-General of the Bank of France, through the Go vernor, Count d'Argout, at a general meeting of the share holders :—During the last year public confidence became much firmer, and consequently commerce increased. The dividends on Bank Stock, for the whole of the year 1833, was 66 francs per share, to which was added three francs, kept in reserve, making a total of 69 francs. The divi dends for the year 1834 amounted to 80 francs, or an in creased profit of upwards of one-eighth. The discounts, which in 1832 were 150,723,000 francs, and in 1833, 240,289,000 francs, amounted in 1834 to 306,603,000 francs, being more than double those of 183'2, and exceed ing those of 1833 by a fifth. The profits were, of course, in the same proportion ; increasing progressively from 1,034,000 francs to 2,020,800 francs. On the subject of dishonoured bills the report. goes into some length. At the end of the first six months of 1830 this item. amounted to only 73,623 francs 2 cents, but shortly after the days of July, it rose to 4,316,740 francs 34 cents, and' in 1831, to a total of 6,344,498 francs 46 cents ; but the years 1832, 1833, and 1834, passed without any additions to this account ; and, in the course of those years, the exertions of the Directors had enabled them to recover of the above deficit sums amounting to 4,267,577 francs 20 cents, leaving a balance still unpaid of 2,076,921 francs 26 cents. The number of accounts current in 1834 was 624,136, and their amount 908,599,400 francs, a sum greater than at any period since the establish- SHIPPING-(THIS DAY). (FROM LLOYD'S.)

Sir Henry alluded to the attention with which his paper on the Deaths of some Illustrious Persons of Antiquity had been received, as the motive for select ing his present subject, and laying before the meeting some details connected with the 'decease of some dis tinguished men of more modern times. The Learned President began his narrative by some remarks upon the Monarch in whose reign the Col lege was founded, referring to the pictures of Holbeirr in illustration of King Henry's manly beauty, and to the remains of him which he had seen in his coffin, and to his large arm-chair at Windsor, in proof of his stature. The state of his health in more advanced life, when he became corpulent and unwieldy, made Henry the Eighth a great dabbler in medicine. In fact, he not only prescribed as opportunity occurred, but compounded the drugs himself, as appears by a volume in the British Museum, containing a large col lection of Royal recipes. The Monarch, however, could not avert from himself the evils of mortality, and died, at the age of fifty-six, dropsical, and c overed with sores. To Wolsey the King gave some excellent instruction 6 how to avoid the sweating sickness ; but the Cardinal, who escaped that epidemic, died of a malady which the Royal physician might more easily 'have prevented, had he chosen—a broken heart, to which was added in his last hours an attack of dysentery. The Earl of Shrewsbury, at whose house he had been on his road from Yorkshire, encouraged his distinguished guest to think more favourably of his health ; but the Cardinal, in reply to his cheering speeches, assuied the Earl that he could not live—discoursing learnedly about his ail ment, which he said within eight days, if there were no change, would necessarily produce " excoriation of the entrails, or delirium, or death." This was on the eighth day, when he confidently expected his death, and expired after the cloek had struck eight, according to his own prediction—" the very hour (says Shakspeare) himself foretold would be his last." _ _ Edward the Sixth was carried off by disease of the lungs, having had measles, as well as small-pox, the preceding year, which left an obstinate cough behind. He was put under the care of an ignorant woman by the Earl of Northumberland, by whose treatment his end seems to have been much accelerated. Sir henry paid a high tribute to the memory of this intelligent and amiable young King, whose bodily powers bore no proportion to the extraordinary energies of his mind; in this respect reminding the learned author of many examples he has he has met with, where ill health in young persons had led to great powers of reflection, the preeocity of their intellectual development " com pensating them for the brevity of their earthly exist ence." Oliver Cromwell, in his last illness, one morning asked a physician who had sat up with him why he looked so sad ; and being answered, that it became any one to look grave who had the care of his life to an swer for, immediately replied—" Ye physicians think I shall die ; I tell you I shall not die this time ; I am sure of it. Do not shink lam mad ; I speak the words of truth upon surer grounds than your Galen or Hippocrates furnish you with. God Almighty him self hath given that answer." Under this confident expectation of recovering, Cromwell allowed himself to be removed from Hampton Court to London. On the following day he became worse—grew lethargic— then delirious—and died September 3, 1658. The spleen was much diseased, and filled with matter " like lees of oil." It is difficult., continued Sir Henry, to read the history of this period without entertain ing a strong suspicion that Cromwell used those so lemn aspirations—that affected intercourse with the Almighty—hypocritically, and with political views. Archbishop Tillotson has remarked that the above is a specimen of that enthusiasm which superse ded hypocricy with Cromwell ; but in modern days, when we meet with such allegations in our intercourse with patients, and find them influencing their conduct, we think ourselves justified in applying to the Lord Chancellor for a writ de lunatico znquirendo." King Charles 11. (according to the account of his physician, Sir C. Scarborough) had just risen from his bed when he experienced an unusual sensation in his head, shortly after which he fell down speechless, and without the power of motion. An army surgeon, who happened to b at hand, bled him to the extent of sixteen ounces ; after which, on the arrival of the royal physician, his Majesty was cupped, and other remedies used—such as an emetic, purgatives, &c. ; but he ex pired on the fourth day. Had there been safety in a multitude of councillors, the King's life musthave been , preserved ; for (added Sir Henry) " I perceive the sig natures of not less than fourteen physicians to one of the prescriptions." Among the remedies prescribed when he was sinking, was spiritus cranii humani 25 drops, which certainly has been improved upon in our modern preparations of ammonia. The Learned Baronet here mentioned that he had lately seen a pre scription in which a portion of the human skull was ordered, in a powder, for Sir Nicholas Throckmorton. It was dug out of the ruins of a house in Duke-street, Westminster, which had belonged to Oliver Cromwell's apothecary. On examining King Charles's head, a co pious effusion of lymph was found in the ventricles and at the base of the cranium ; from whence Sir Henry is disposed to think that he might have been still further bled with advantage ; adding, that the re sult of his experience had convinced him, that, if large depletion be not adopted in the first instance, every thing else attempted afterwards will be unavailing. It is quite evident, from Sir Henry's account, that Charles 11. died of apoplexy, and consequently that his indif ference to the solicitations of those about him, on reli gious matters, can only, with charity, be attributed to, the effects of his disease. _ _ King William, the' Prince of Orange, had weak frame, and was asthmatic, with a constant cough: He died, at length, of an enormous secretion into the lungs, which first embarrassed, and ultimately pre vented respiration. The lungs were adherent to the pleura costalis, and a fall from his horse, which he had shortly before met with in Hampton Court Park, and by which be had broken his collar-bone, had detached a portion of the adhesion and excited inflammation. Mary, the consort of William, died of small-pox ; and it is remarkable that Bishop Burnet blames Dr. Radcliffe in rather harsh terms, for his treatment of her case. The Learned Prelate mentions that Marshal Schomberg advised him never to give an opinion upon a military subject ; and " I wish (said Sir Henry) that he had received similar council from a physician, and had abstained from remarking on medical affairs." The censure of the Bishop seems to have been quite uncalled for. Dryden died of ossification of the arteries of the ex tremities, such as produces mortification. His body " lay in state, in the College of Physicians, during ten days, and was then conveyed to Westminster Ab bey with great ceremony." The disease which occasioned Dean Swift to ex pire " a driveller and a show," was of a paralytic na ture ; to which circumstance Sir Henry is inclined to attribute that aberration, not to say depravity of mind, which has excited so much scandal. " Now I believe," said he, " this irritability was bo dily disease ; and so far from considering the unsocial and untoward mind as influencing the body to its de triment, I would contend that the corporal distemper was the cause of the perverse and unhappy state of the mind; that Swift's irritability was of that peculiar nature which accompanies palsy, the seat of which is generally in the brain. Swift was in the habit of suffering severe attacks of headach, and of dizziness, and occasional deaf ness, when young ; even so early in his life as during his sojournment with Sir William 'Temple. In process of time there ensued that plethoric state of the vessels of the brain which required frequent cupping ; and at length the obstruction became so great as to occasion an effusion of water into the ventricles, and the loss of his faculties by apoplectic pressure. This appeared on examination of the head after death. No doubt this effusion had been preceded by inflammation of the membranes of the brain, and by phrensy. Under these attacks of inflammation and phrensy, he dealt forth his angry denunciations largely ; and probably it was in one of these unhappy moments that he composed the epitaph so injudiciously inscribed on his tomb-stone in St. Patrick's Cathedral." GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, JAN. 31.—The disturbances in Servia have proved to be of little importance and are already termi nated. Prince Milosch is said to have settled with his op ponents by judicious concessions. It is evident that the affair cannot have been of any consequence, for up to this moment our Government has received no information re specting it. Count Bernstorff, the Danish Ambassador, who has been for some time absent has returned, and Count Reventlou, who acted in the meantime as Charge d'Af faires, is now going in the latter capacity to Lisbon.

DUTCH AND HAMBURG PAPERS THE HAGUE, FEB. 4.—We have received the missing Java papers, from the 20th of August to the 30th of Sep tember, in which we find the following account : " BATAVIA, SEPT. 9, 1834.—We have lately received, from Padang, an account of the melancholy fate of the North American Missionaries, Henry Lyman and Samuel Morrison, in the country of the Battas, to the north of Tappanoetia, bordering on the kingdom of, Acheen. They both went from this place to Padang, and in the beginning of June, by way of Nias, to Tappanoetia, with the inten tion of penetrating into the Battas country, an enterprise from which they were most earnestly and repeatedly, but in vain, entreated to desist, on account of the well-known ferocity of the people whom they intended to visit. On the 28th of that month, the travellers were on the way to the camping of Sakka, belonging to that country, and had got about half way to it, when they were spoken to by five armed Battas, who told them that if they went any farther their lives would. be in danger, and urged them to turn back. Having given these men some presents, they re solved to proceed ; but the travellers were attacked about ' four in the afternoon by an armed body of the Battas, of about 200 men, and the two travellers experienced the dreadful fate of being murdered and devoured by the can nibals. The remainder of the company, consisting of na tive chiefs, guides, interpreters, and servants, escaped. by timely flight." The reports that the garrison of Luxemburg is shortly to be increased by troops of the German Confederation are now confirmed by letters from Frankfort. It was af firmed that the garrison is to be put on the same fooitipg as at the time of the hostilities between Holland and Bel gium in 1831. The new contingent will be furnished, it is said, by Wurtemberg, Baden, Hesse-Hohenzollern, Hesse- Homburg, and Frankfort. It was added that a conference had taken place on this subject at Heidelberg between Messrs. Von Hubel Falk and Freystele, Generals of the first three States. - AMSTERDAM, FEB. s.—According to the official accounts published by the Government, the population of Holland amounted on the Ist of January, 1834, to 2,481,382 souls.

Moscow, JAN. 3 (15). —At the end of November the Polish Deputy Vencenz Niemojewski, well known as one of the chief authors and most active leaders "of the late Polish Revolution, whose sentence of death was commuted by his Majesty the Emperor to imprisonment for life, arrived here. He had made the journey from Warsaw in his own carriage, not followed, and accompanied only by a police officer, and he was amply furnished with money and every convenience suitable to his rank. As he was taken ill a few days after his arrival here, the prosecution of his journey was indefinitely deferred. MI had a convenient residence, and the medical assistance that his situation re quired. Our Governor-General Prince Gallizis, whose humanity is so well known, provided him with books, and endeavoured in all respects, conformably to the instruc tions he had received from the Government, to make his situation as easy as possible. But the kindness with which he was treated, nor the efforts of the best physicians, could prolong his life, and he died here after a short illness in the course of last month. A short time before his death he received the Sacrament from an Ecclesiastic here, who had supported him with the consolations of religion. In the last hours of his life M. Niemojewski confided to a Pole named Boszynski, living here, an open written confession of all the intrigues known to him, and authorised him to communicate it to the Government. To many of his former acquaintances and countrymen who obtained permission to visit him, he ex pressed the deepest repentance for his co-operation in the unhappy revolution, the consequence of which might easily have been foreseen, and had brought the greatest distress on his country. Well informed persons affirm that the state ments made by M. N. on the brink of the grave are of the highest political importance, as they have disclosed all the hitherto unknown secret intrigues of the Polish revolutionary party, both before and since the insurrection, in and out of the kingdom, and give the Government means effectually to prevent their further developement. ALTONA, FEB. 2.—His Majesty the King of Denmark has been pleased to appoint M. Von Leveyace, Governor of Luxemburg, and M. Leosen, to be Members of the German Tribunal of Arbitration for three years. We hear from Gottenburg that the celebrated English sportsman, Mr. Lloyd, has had the misfortune to shoot by mistake one of his favourite companions in the chase, Swensson, instead of a bear. He was dressed in a black fur, with the hairy side outwards. HAMBURG BORSEN HALLE, FEB 3. Bills. Money. Austrian Metalliques, 5 per cent. Ditto ditto 4 per cent.
