He did not allude to the rc • constitute of Poland as it was in 1815, but to the re-esta igithidevi f . Poland of 1777, with its 20,000,000 people. 4 , - Tliqk L . , ' ed Doctor, a f ter an eloquent an d talented speech i i , •,, r• 4; li. limits oblige us to omit, said, that after the tourse t :. -•• . 3 . 4 , ussia had pursued against the Poles, they were all 1- 1 ,..1 t cd to advocate the speedy and effectual re-institution of entire Poland.--( Great applause.) He saw no reason to des. pair. This was an age of wonders, and although the imperial , miscreant, whom all freemen united in devoting to the infer nal gods--(Applause)—had threatened to annihilate the Poles if they made the tightest demonstration of attachment to the cause of national independence, the means were at hand, if necessary, for accomplishing the restoration of their country, if the free Governments of Europe would wisely and energc tieally employ themselves when the auspicious moment ar rives.—( Cheering.) The Learned Doctor concluded a most eloquent and energetic speech by proposing " The speedy re storation of Poland."—(Cheering.) Mr. FEROUSSON, M. P., gave " The cause of Civil and Re ligious Liberty all over the world," in a speech which was re ceived with great applause. Sir GEO. WARRENDER proposed " The health . of Count Zamoyski," to which the Count replied in v'lry appropriate terms. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, wh'en our Chief Magistrate announced that the Corporatio.-, of the City had conferred their freedom on our two 'illustrious guests, we had seen enough of them by that tame not to be aware that such an ho nour would have }seen - .nerited on their own account; but I believe we are satisf _est that they will consider the compliment a tri bute, not ;,ply to their honour, but an honour to their equally unfort' sua t e , t h ough more amiable countrymen, from whom they, are separated, some of them a short distance, and who are well known amongst us.—(Tremendous cheering.) Although I am unwilling- to occupy your time more than merely intro ducing the toast which I have to propose, yet I beg that the friends of the cause throughout the country are well entitled to know that these Poles, who have come to this part of the world and received amongst us, have distinguished themselves for their good conduct, for the honourable manner in which they have distinguished themselves, and sustained their adversity._ (Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman, after enlarging with great eloquence on the character of the Poles res Vent in Edin burgh and its vicinity, said it was the duty of the people of Edinburgh to pay every tribute to those Poles who were well known amongst them, and to testify what they all knew of their conduct, which was w'srthy of their cause, and of their country. He concluded by giving " The exiled Poles re siding in Edinburgh."--( Immense cheering.) Mr. W. G. CRAIG gave the " Chairman." The CHAIPAIAN returned thanks. Mr. ROBERT JAMESON, W. S., rose to give the next toast, • He said, in the present age of manufacturing industry, when every, branch of human energy is calculated to its exact amount of profit and loss ; and when even war itself is reduced to a trade, wherein the Hebrew merchant must be consulted before the national defiance is proclaimed, I do fear that the bare mention of the word hero will at once be my passport to the pages of the old romance, or at least to those skilful imitators, the chief interest of which consists in the strong contrast af forded between the wild vicissitude,s of an iron age, and the soft repose of modern sseurity. I fear that the reckless ge nerous =Pulse of chivalry would find little favour amongst us, if exhibited u 'present practical realities. And hence the heroic, thous desperate, efforts of Poland have, among too many of Is's, been coldly censured as the phrenzied outwork of a profitless, therefore culpable, enthusiasm. The cause, the excuse of this, is our own more happy condition as a nation, protected at home and respected abroad. The proud con sciousness of independent nationality gives to our political diss pates only the character of keen but generous rivalry, We differ among ourselves ; but to whatever party alli e d` I\ trust we never may forget in the partizan the commeSS attributes of Britain ; and Whig, Tory, or Radical, we 'may contest politi cal questions with political zeal. But 'e ve are still fellow sub jects of the same beloved King, in t'de same glorious land. We meet under the temples of a s'srnmon worship. We associate together at the same 4 :estisse board. We unite as one in the same scheme of n - sdonal philanthropy ; and we are ready to band together rss brothers, should a foe ever dare t o a tt ac k national ex., scen „ . therefore, cannot conceive of the deadly Irsie between the tyrant and the slave ; and thanks to that best bulwark of our freedom—the sailors, " whose march is on the mountain wave," and who may yet do more even than be the invincible defenders of our sacred soil. Still less can are conceive of the bitterness of the slavery which crouches beneath a foreign and barbarian yoke —or the double galling of the chain, in which an inferior half-civilized master holds a superior, a civilized, a high-spirited people. And yet such is Poland —the most honoured nation of eastern Europe Deeply has she atoned for the sin of saving Christendom from the Turk • for the T ar t ar i s now trampling on the bulwark of Europe, ;hat tyranny may know the barbarian is at the gate. Yet gallantly have the Poles striven for their ancient name.— (Cheers.) Any single one of the revolutions would have made the proud history of a free and heroic nation ; yet still she is the slave of the Calmuc---the meanest, though the craf tiest, of conquerors.—( Cheers.) This is a truth as strange as sad. Fortune, man, and nature, have combined against Poland ; and for a time she has yielded to the unholy alliance. Other nations have nature to aid their efforts for their eman cipation. Every crag in Switzerland is the mountain throne of freedom, which the tyrant lent to court his destruction.-- (Cheers.) In the measureless expanse of America, the host of the invader is baffled and lost, and even the Hollander could call back the sea to protect the soil he had rescued from its dominion ; but Poland is - opened and expesed on all sides— has no natural resources . H er only trust is in the untiring energy of her sons ; her citadel is in the breast of every Pole, which he carries wherever his destiny leads him ; and until the last Pole dies in the last strlnd sif his refuge, there is still hope for Poland; there is sill retribution for her rude and merciless oppressor.—(lsdud cheers.) We, therefore, dare not accuse the late revolution, even with its fatal result, even though the despot, i:d the full-blown pride which goeth before a fall, now dechres, before the heaven he insults, that the whisper of hos,se in Warsaw shall be the knell of her destruc tion, because this revolution proved the spirit of Poland to be unehangeli ; because it gave to the world the deeds of the heroes, in 'Warsaw in 1831, and their deeds are the pledge that like deeds will be done again.—( Cheers.) I speak not of the Generals who led. My prouder task is to tell how the soldiers fought, and that you may understand me, let me give you an instance. An individual, on the morning of the fatal conflict when Poland fell, and hope, though but for a season, bade farewell—when Prussia basely gave the Muscovite his only entrance into 'Warsaw, the beleaguered tower menaced on her weakest side, had with military skill 'pushed her batteries onward to meet the assailants, and which batteries they must destroy be fore they could invest the city itself, the outermost of these was chiefly entrusted to a young Lieutenant of Artil lery. It was a high compliment to this young officer that such a post was entrusted to him, and arrangements were made for his plentiful reinforcement, but which arrived too late, The Russians, aware of its importance, sent against it a picked bat talion of their best troops, aided by an overweelming artillery, who surrounded, and attempted to storm it. The handful of defenders resisted ; as Poles bravely fought, and fighting fell ; but the numbers, and let me add, fairly the valour of the best troops of Russia, were too fearful odds ; and the remnant sur vivors had but one alternative, to submission and defeat. Still the alternative was tempting. The alternative was death ; and a Polander's life is readily bestowed for a moment's ad vantage to his country. Without the desperation of a fanatic, but with the cool and unflinching resolution of a martyr, the Lieutenant struck his torch into a powder-magazine, and con sented to share in the destruction he launched upon his coun try's foes. The explosion was awful. Hundreds of the Rus sians, conspicuous from their red uniforms, were in an instant hurled in the air; the din of battle, while invaders and in vaded stood aghast at this terrible though glorious achieve ment,—duke et decorum est pro pat, ia mori—which a Pole may well render, " His is the sweetest, noblest bed Who sinks entombed mid fOemen dead."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, what think you of this hero of Warsaw ? I speak of him from the pages of history, where this young Lieutenant is spoken of with excelling pride, mingled with grief for his too early loss ; and if, after the fight was over a scorched and blackened b o dy was di scovered still breathing, and by a friendly foreign hand tended through a tedious and precarious recovery—if' he escaped the vengeance of the despot, whom in his single person he had despoiled of a regiment--if he found his way to an honoured exile—if he can now in this presence - appear in the person of my Gallant Friend (Ordon) who now sits beside me--(Tremendous cheering for several minutes) —may we not say thathe is a precious gift from the dead to the liyiug—( Loud cheers);—that he has come back from the gates of the land of spirits to tell to the survissors that the voices are calling loud, and that the living must not be dumb—(loud cheers)—that the martyrs of Pssiand are marshalled in bright though invisible ranks, and pointing to the land which must be free, ere they find rest in their graves.—(Loud cheers.) And may he not also ts;11 to us, that in his fate we have the emblem of his co untry—(Cheers) —that thougn scorched, and s , ;s l ssrsi, and. prostrate, her very heart crushed under the chariot whetAs of the usurper, yet by the aid of some friendly foreign hand, she may again rise in strength and in glory, and gather her happy children into her bosom, such as Ordon and his companions are, the heroes of Warsaw.—( Loud cheers.) And my friend, rising to return thank; with more trepidation before a circle of applauding friends, than he ever felt at the cannon's mouth, or on the loaded mine, he will tell you that what he has done, they each, and all of them would have done; and yet Poland, in his person, can boast of a deed v.hich Leonidas might have envied, and which Dccius and Curtius could not have surpassed.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. CHAS. MACDOUGAL, Advocate, proposed Dembinski, Dwernicki, and the gallant Polish Army. He said, My Lord Breadalbane, we have heard with admiration and delight the sentiments, worthy of Poland, with which her restoration and her wrongs have in various forms been presented to this meeting. Yet, my Lord, whether the patriot eye, brighten ing over the prospects which have been powerfully unfolded of the future, or sinks in sadness upon the sepulchres of the past, there seems to be one other subject, not merely fitted for re ennition he re , b u t, as I conce i ve i t, secon d to none i n depth ofinterest, er magnitude of importance. I have to propose that your Lordship should devote this bumper in honour of those heroic men, who have been the active, and, alas, the hapless and suffering agents in the great events which we are here here to commemorate.—( Cheering. ) I mean the gal lant Polish Army at large. —( Continued cheering.) Among which, I will venture to describe, as perhaps the most re markable military feature of modern times, illustrious alike for the disproportion of its results to its means, and for the glo rious elements comprehended in its constitution--( Cheering)__ an army not of reluctant conscripts or sordid mercenaries—no beartleSs levy of the mere animal machinery of warfare—but a glorious and gallant array of all "ranks and of all ages, from generous youth, just opening into manhood, and nehlv struggling under the load of arms, to gray-haired THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 18:a age itself, flinging down the fragment of its existence upon the altars of its eountiy.—( Loud cheers.) When the 29th of NoVatbbr, 1830, gave the standard of Poland to the winds, tine absorbing feeling appeared to pervade all tiasses and professions of the people. The, cell of the country pealed alike upon the car of ttle litzl'iatit at his plough, and the Prince in his pkwrh....0.1 1 . trader forgot his traffic—: .. recluse and teattlWative student flung aside Lis book—the wily cry WAS for the sword—the only question, where It WAS to be first employed upon the oppressor of their country,_4dheeri ng .) They fell upon the foe with the sudden and terrible berSt of the tornado. The Imperial Viceroy, cowardly as cruel, fled trembling from his Palace. Warsaw Was won. After more than fifty years of suspended animation, Poland was again a people.—( Cheers.) Alas, my Lord, that by a .dispensation of that Providence whose decree we dare rot td the close of the contest was destined to ditalfliblhl ihe glory of its beginning. It seemed as if the 'measure of the iniquity of a remorseless and exubi: ig tyrant had n o t th en b een at t h e full. It seem'' _-, as if - one other page h a d still t o b e a dd e d to the record of his crimes, displaying deformities still more 'revolting and disgraceful.—( Hear, hear.) This most ex plicit and imperial expounder of the principle of "millions made for one," after a course of ten months, marked by a hundred sanguinary' contests, most of them, too, being glo rious succ esses , th e revo l ut i on, overwhelmedby numbers, terminated in defeat—in defeat ) my Lord, but never in dis honour.—( Cheering.) Hand to hand, and breast to breast, the gallant soldiers fought their last battle for their country ; and they fell by hundreds and by thousands upon her soil, grasping in their dying hands, as the latest relics of their free dom, the good swords with which they had combated to the death for the liberties of their native land.—(Cheers.) De voutly do I pray, my Lord, that the acclamations of this night may reach the hearts of the survivors of the heroic men, in the darkest corners of their dispersion, and convey to them—to such minds the noblest of all consolations—the strong assurance of our most affectionate respect and admiration. As for the cold and paltry querists whose hesitating wisdom has disputed the propnety and advantage of such a demonstration, I would tell *ltem to seek their answer here. I wish they could behold, as I do, the aspect of this large assembly, whose universal heart is throbbing as that of a single man, with what I will rank among the noblest emotions of our nature, a sympathy for insulted and suffering virtue, and an indiemant horror of the blood-stained tyrant who has exalted himself upon its ruin. Especially, my Lo.td, I wish that such' men could contemplate as I do, the illustrious strangers, once the champions of the noblest cause in which the sword was ever drawn—still the ex amples and the depositaries of its pure and patriotic principles, whose presence honours and hallows this high festival, and could ask of them what they think of the utility of such an as sociation ? My Lord, I presume to re-assert the proposition that we are not here in support of faction, or of party, but of the common interest of enlightened men. Here, my Lord, and in ouch places, as this, is matured and strengthened, if not the phy sical force, at least the moral energy which heaven itself' has implanted in our nature, to redeem mankind from the odious ness of their OWn corruptions. The spirit which the Polish army has displayed, is no other than that which Scotland also has displayed in the days of now, fortunately, far by-gone times, when the broadswords of her brave and trampled sons hewed out their gallant paths to honour and independence.— ( Great cheering.) It is not here, therefore, that the obliga tion, alike that of interest as of inclination, of aid and encou ragement to Poland will be disregarded or denied. For where, I would ask, is that degenerate Scotsman who has not long since learned to sorrow o'er thel story of her fall, or whose freshest emotions have not been awakened by an im mortal bard of our own land, by whom in divinest strains that story has been sung? What recreant is there here who has not long since joined in the magnificent invocation : " Departed spirits of the mighty dead ! Ye who at Marathon and Lemtra bled : Friends of the world, restore your swords to man ; Fight in his sacred cause, and lead the van : Yet for Sarmatra's tears of blood atone, And make her arm puissant as your own : Oh ! once again to Freedom's cause return, The patriot Tell, the Bruce of Bannockburn." Aye, my Lord, and let us rely upon it the prayers of the in dignant poet will not fall unheard. Tell will return, and Bruce return • for so long as the Edwards and the Geyslers remain upon the earth, so long will there be found men ready and fit to champion up that undying cause, of which these heroic names are but the representatives below. With the Polish army in general allow me to associate the names of Dwernicki and Dembinski, both of them high in its command, and both of them, but especially Dwernicki, among the bravest of the brave.—( Immense cheering.) Dedicating, therefore, the present toast to the honour of the Polish army, let us rest in the sure and fervent hope that the time is hut little distant, when strong in the strength of long accumulated wrongs, that army will again issue forth to victory, and the obscene and hideous idol which now deforms their sanctuary, will fall prostrate be fore the ark of their purer and holier covenant.—(Long con tinued cheering.) The following toasts were then given :—" The Memory of Kosciuszko," " Thomas Campbell," " The Full and Final Emancipation of the Slaves," &c. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The address of Mr. O'Connell to the Reformers of Ireland, is an eloquent and argumentative appeal to his countrymen to come forward and merge all particular differences in a determined effort to support the pre sent liberal and impartial Government, and by union and energy to prevent, in as far as their efforts can avail, the advent of another Tory Administration, the consequences of which he shadows forth with minute and frightful accuracy. 'Well, indeed, may the Irish people be convinced that their chances of good and peaceful government are bound up with the stability of the Melbourne Administration. The state to which Ireland would be brought by another Tory or Orange Administration, is not a matter of conjectural specula tion; and we cannot wonder that the oppressed popu lation of that country, and their eloquent advocate, are disposed to cling to the patriotic Government, which alone stands between them and another long night of persecution, accompanied, as it would undoubtedly be, with insurrection and bloodshed. It is of the most vital importance for our countrymen, in both islands, to reflect deeply upon this all important truth ; and it is certainly not the less so, when a wily politician_ ever the evil genius of his party, and whose extended, though superficial acquirements are equalled only by his treacherous cunning, coupled with an entire ab sence of all those feelings which naturally link men together in the support of a great cause, and give character and lustre to political strife—is practising in the dark those weapons which Nature has put in his hands, and seeking by deceitful means to break up an Administration which stands in the way of his realizing the vain dreams of his own insane ambition. But to re turn to O'Connell's letter : the effect produced by the virulent and unremitted attacks of the Tory press upon the Catholic Clergy are powerfully described, and the services which this maligned body of men render to their poor parishioners, are described with affecting eloquence. A call is made upon liberal Protestants to join, heart and hand, in the common cause of justice and Reform : this call will, we trust, be responded to throughout the island. It is not against Protestantism, but against the abuses and exactions of ascendancy—not against British, but against Orange Government, that the Catholics of Ireland are at present ranged. Let us take care how we refuse the present equitable demands of our Irish countrymen for good and equal government—at all events, it is not upon Reformers that the onus will lie ; but their union and energy, in support of men who are disposed to carry out the principles of a liberal and impartial policy, were never more necessary than at the present period, when all that influence and intrigue can do is set in action to injure the Govern ment, and mar the cause of effectual Reform.-- Morning Chronicle. The publication of the Advertiser was delayed yes terday morning in order to give insertion to an account of the Polish Dinner in Edinburgh, and which ap peared exclusively in the columns of this paper. We expected that Scotland would on this occasion evince a strong manifestation of sympathy for• Poland ; but the eloquence, enthusiasm, and intensity of feeling which animated the assembly surpassed our most ardent anticipations. Let it not be supposed that the cheers which hailed every sentiment favourable to the Polish cause will die ineffective on the breeze ; on the contrary, wherever the spirit of freedom breathes, they will swell to a louder and louder tone, till reaching the palace of the Autocrat himself, he will tremble at the shout with which the vindicators of Poland's wrongs will proclaim their determination to free her from her thraldom. Perish the thought that it is now too late to regenerate Poland 1 True, she is prostrate ; the elements of her indep en d ence are scattered ; but still there is not only a hope, but a certainty, that she will yet arise—call around her exiled sons, and strike another blow for liberty and vengeance. For their own sakes, the free spirits of Europe must foster and cherish their heroic brothers, which Poland has confided to their charge. While a single Pole lives, there is hope for Poland's regenera tion. Nor can her oppressor ever feel safe, when the sword that might be plunged in his bosom would be viewed by every righteous judgment rather as an in strument of atonement than assassination. English men, as was eloquently observed, " cannot conceive the bitterness of the slavery which crouches be neath a foreign and barbarian yoke—or the double galling of the chain, in which an inferior half-civi lized master holds a superi6r, a civilized, a high. spirited people.

Yet galituttly ha*e the Poles attiVeti for their ancient 'Janie& Arty single one of the revolutions would Bate tiade the proud history of a free and heroic nation ; yet still she is the slave of the Cahnue---the meanest, though the craftiest ; clf e coriplerors. This is a truth as strange as sad, Fortune, titan, and nettle, hiVe ethiibilida against Poland ; and for a time she. has yielded to the unholy alliance. Other nations have nature to aid their efforts for their emancipation. Every crag in Switzerland is the mountain throne of freedom. In the measureless expanse of America the host of the invader is baffled and lost, and even the Hol lander could call back the sea to protect the soil he had rescued from its dominion ; but Poland is open and exposed on all sides—has no natural resources. Her only trust is in the untiring energy of her sons ; her citadel is in the breast of every Pole, which he carries wherever his destiny leads him ; and until the last Pole dies in the last strand of his refuge, there is still hope for Poland ; there is still retribution for her rude and merciless oppressor." Scotland has spoken the sentiments of England and Ireland in a manner which does her infinite honour. The moral effect of this dinner will be felt throughout Europe, and though the tyrant may be spared for some signal vengeance of Heaven or man, he must feel himself cursed by the general execration of all civilized men.—Morning Advertiser. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-FRIDAY VIVIAN V. BLOMBERG. After the arguments in this cause were concluded, his Honour directed a case to be sent to the Court of Common Pleas, in which the question of law will be, whether a con current ecclesiastical lease for twenty-one years, made within three years of the expiration of an existing lease for forty years of a house within the City of London, and belonging to the vicarage of Cripplegate, is valid. BOYS V. MORGAN. Mr. RUSSELL appeared in support of the exceptions to the Master's report, that certain allegations in the bill were not impertinent. The object of the bill was to have a de claration, that certain transfers of stock to a large amount from a person now dead were obtained by fraud and undue influence, and to have the funds re-transferred. The bill also sought the general administration of the estate of the deceased, from whom the transfer had been obtained. The exceptions were overruled. COMMON PLEAS-FRIDAY. The Court was occupied the greater part of the day, and up to a late hour, with the case of Scales v. Drury. This was an action under the 10th Geo. IV., against the vestry clerk of the parish of St. Mary-le-Bow, to recover from the parish a sum of money laid out and expended by plaintiff in repairing and enlarging into a carriageway, with two footpaths, a certain narrow lane or passage, leading from the Bow road to Barebinder- lane, under the sanction of a select vestry of the parish, held in January, 1830. The Jury accordingly, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found the following facts :—First, that Scales, th e plaintiff, had not obtained the ground for the road by the consent or grant of the owners ; second, that 441. were disbursed by him up to September, 1830 (when the parish first disapproved of the matter) ; and lastly, they found for the plaintiff generally 1971. damages, subject, of course, either to be reduced to 44/., or a verdict entered for the defendant, according to the determination of the special case. SECONDARIES' OFFICE-FRIDAY. MINT V. lIALLARD.-OMNIBUS DRIVING. This was a writ of inquiry for the assessment of damages in a case in which the plaintiff sustained serious injury in consequence-of the furious driving of an omnib us . Th e defendant, who was the owner of the omnibus, allowed judgment to go by default. The plaintiff had been seated on the box of another carriage, with which the omnibus, through the negligence of the driver of it, came in contact. The plaintiff was thrown off his seat by the concussion, and his thigh was fractured. The Jury assessed the damages at 501. INSOLVENT COURT-FRIDAY. Mr. James Boaden, the author of " The Life of Mrs. Siddons," " John Phillip Kemble," and other works, ap plied this morning, on his petition, praying to be relieved from his difficulties. His application was unopposed by his creditors. Mr. goaden in his scheduie described himself as an au thor, lately residing in the Waterloo-bridge-road. His debts amounted to 4441., extending over a lengthened period. His insolvency was ascribable to the want of literary employ ment. His schedule showed the kind assistance of friends, and he had, it appeared, written articles for some of the Annuals. He was now in his 72d year. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after inspecting the schedule, said—l see, Mr. Boaden, you are the author of various works. The insolvent bad been nearly deprived of hearing for some time. The Learned COMMISSIONER did not trouble him with further questions. It appeared, however, that Mr. Boaden's library and fur niture bad been sold. The COURT declared the insolvent to be entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered him to be discharged forth with.—Mr. Boaden was discharged accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. H. W. Laurence, porter to Mr. Brook, salesman, of Leadenhall Market, was brought up for final examination, upon the charge of having broken into the cellar of Mr. Howard, another salesman, and stolen a quantity of game. The prisoner was fully committed. _ _ A very fine little boy, aged ten years, was brought before the LORD MAYOR and Alderman PIRIE, for the purpose of being bound apprentice to Mr. Bolton, a respectable chim ney-sweeper. Alderman PIRIE, who was evidently reluctant to bind the child to such a trade, asked him whether he had tried chimney-climbing ? The boy replied that he had been up the flue twice, and that he liked it well enough. Alderman PIRIE—But wouldn't you rather be at some other trade ? Boy (shaking his head)—Yes, I would. The LORD MAYOR—How have they treated you on trial ? Boy—Uncommonly well. Alderman PIRIE—No doubt of it. If they did not, no poor child would go to such a dirty trade. I can't con sent to bind him. Mr. Bolton said that the boy had had a month's trial, and liked the business, and all the boys he had were satis fied with it, as well as with the treatment they received. The LORD MAYOR advised the boy's father to look out for some other trade for him, and said that the binding could not be made. VERULAM PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF LON DON.—On Wednesday the President and Director, Pro fessor Dewhurst, F.E.S.L., took the Chair. Letters were read from Sir John Barrow, Bart., President of the Royal Geographical Society—W. B. Clarke, President of the Ar chitectural Society—Basil Montagu, Esq., F.R.S.—George Handcock, Esq., C.E.—Miss L. H. Sheridan—and Dr. Kidd, F.R.S., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Oxford. In consequence of the absence of Robert Huisb, Esq., F.L.S., who was to have delivered a lecture on Oceanic Currents, the President delivered an able discourse on the Philosophy of Friendship, as an illustration of the organ of adhesiveness—or, as he has named it, anzicitiveness— treating the subject phrenologically, and which, on conclu sion, was warmly applauded by a numerous and respectable auditory. Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wilson, Philip Colson, Esq., Rev. Mr. Sibley, John Braithwaite, Esq., S. C. Hall, Esq., Mrs. Hall, Captain Marryatt, R.N., &c., were elected Honorary Associates. William Mills, Esq., A.R.A., was elected Professor of Sculpture, C. J. Williams, Esq., A.M., of Charles -street, Westminster, Professor of Anatomy, and the Rev. Mr. Sibley, Professor of Pneumatics and Micro scopic Zoology. We believe this to be the only Society of this nature in London, where ladies of known literary and philosophical talent are admitted members, and permitted to take part in the proceedings if they think proper, as they are excluded from the Royal, Antiquarian, and simi lar institutions. HORRIBLE AFFAIR.—Whilst two men, of the names of Robert Margeson and Thomas Beckitt, sexton of the parish church, were drinking together at a public house in Epworth, they quarrelled and came to blows re specting some liquor. Beckitt had the advantage, and they became apparently reconciled, and started together to go home. When they had proceeded about 200 yards from the house of Beckitt, who lived near the church, Margeson drew a pocket-knife and stabbed his companion in the temples and under the ear in a very shocking manner. A person who was near the place at the time immediately pro cured assistance, and. Beckitt was taken home. The poor man lingeredd until the following morning ; but he was able to make a deposit',on to a magistrate how the deed was com mitted. We ur,itierstand that Margeson has absconded. — Fork Courant.

The Average' rice of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the week ending the Bth day of December, 1835, is sd. per Hundred Weight, exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of last night.) SUGAR.—The Sugar Market in the early part of the week was very brisk, but the demand since has slackened ; the prices however remain very firm. The Barbadoes public sale on Tuesday, 103 lihds., went off at former prices, 645. 6d. to 665. 6d. This afternoon the estimated sales for the week arc 2,400 hhds. and trs., still to the advantage of the seller, the holders demanding the extreme prices of the Marker, and in no instance submitting to any reduction to facilitate sales, but waiting patiently till their prices are complied with, which is sure to be submitted to the next or the following day ; low brown Berbice to-day 60s. and nothing but dabs under that price. In the Refined Market the prices of fine Crushed have again advanced ; there are now few parcels ready for sale. This afternoon the Market is again higher—fine Crushed, which has been selling at 41s. 6d. is now 425., and very few goods left in the Market ; the buyers have evinced a disposition to pur chase for March at nearly the present prices ; Lumps to pass the standard 835., but few sellers. MAURITIUS.—No public sales have taken place ; a few pur chases are reported privately at full Market rates. The last parcel in the importers' hands is advertised for Tuesday next, 6,500 bags. EAST INDIA.—By public sale 125 bags Bengal sold 355. 6d. for mid white, former prices • there is some demand for Siams, but no parcels at Market. FOREIGN.—The prices of yellow Havannah have advanced ls. per cwt.: a parcel of mid. color and soft quality have been sold at 355. The request continues, but no parcels appear for sale, the holders having withdrawn their Sugars. for higher prices. The sales are low soft White Bahias, 335. ; good brown to fine yellow, 265. a 30s. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There have been several parcels of Demerara of good quality sold at 305., which are higher prices than could previously be obtained. INDIGO.—There is no alteration in Indigo ; the quantity ad vertised for the 19th January, is 3,300 chests. COFFEE.—AII descriptions of Coffee are dull ; very few pur chases by private contract are reported ; the fine descriptions of Jamaica are still enquired after, but no sales to any ex tent have taken place. The public sale, 130 bales Mocha and 50 bags Plantation, were all taken in, the Mocha at 635. to (345., which was not well garbled. By public sale this afternoon 300 bags good Ceylon sold rather freely 595* to 595. 6d., and by private contract 200 bags good ord. en' bury Brazil sold at 525. COFFEE FROM SIERRA LEONE.-The Lords of the Treasury have admitted Coffee from Sierra Leone at the low duty of 67 per lb. RUM, BRANDY, AND HotLiti , ins.--The demand for Jamaica, Rum eotititmet, and there is none left on first hands ; the prices are rattler higher ; the established price for .Jamaica MO' 30 over is 3s. 6d. ; Lersvards unvaried, free sellers of proofs 2s. 2d., and buyers at 2s. l d. There is not so much brisk ness in Brandy ; the late rise appears to have checked the demand, but the prices are higher; Brandies of 1834 have been sold in hhds. at 4s. and in puns. at 3s. Iod. The prices of Geneva are rather higher; sales of pale at 2s. 2d. TALLOW.-The expected supplies of Tallow have ninstlY arrived, making a good supply for the season of the year; all the ships are now in that we knew were afloat, e xcept , we believe, about 1,500 casks. The market has fallen about Is. fa, with a heavy appearance; the chief sales are about 435. 6d. Irtisu Parmsforrs.-The demand for Butter of every de-, seription continues very good ; prices continue to advance, sn,e, from the present appearance of the weather few holders vo" feel disposed to sell. The consumption of Bacon in London is small, in consequence of the low prices of fresh meat, but as the opinion generally entertained is in favour of a consider able improvement after Christmas, large engagements arf making between the cheese:mongers of London and the Irish manufacturers for shipments in :be spring. BUTTER. BACON. Stock. Delivery. Stock. Delivery. 1834 46,500 firks 12,000 firks 7,500 bales 2,800 bales 1835 28,200 7,521 4,326 2,197 The imports of Butter are Irish 2,757 firks. Foreign 4,611 Bacon 505 bales. TEA TRADE.-The Tea trade was the most respectable London, and will be again, but some time most elapse be' fore the new trade can assume its former regularity ; we Oar' titularly allude to the East India Company or the Govern ment selling their stocks, where Tea is refused at one sale at a price, it is put up the next without reserve ; and as long && this system continues, the capitalist will decline embarking ir ) large investments, at whatever may be the market price. SALES OF TEA.-The private trade Teas which comme nce( ' on Monday closed this afternoon, they consisted of 40, 0 packages, about 17,500 have found buyers; those bought 1 0 being chiefly common Congous; there has been very little al teration in the quotations since Tuesday ; about 2d. under the Company's sale for Congous, viz, from Is. id. up to 2s. 9c1.; Twankays Is. 44d. to 2s. 6.1 d., HysoDs 2s. 74d. to 4s. 6d.; Young Ilysons 2s. to 2s. 6d. ; Caper Is. 4d. to 2s. ; Orange Pekoe 9d. to 3s. 2d. ; Imperial 2s. 10d. to 3s. 3d. f Gun powder 3s. 6d. to 4s. 0n..-There is no new feature in the Oil Market, the prices generally are unvaried. The export demand for whale Oil is at present quite suspended. Olive Oil scarce and in limited demand, for a cargo of Galipoli Oil afloat 58/ is de manded, and the same for Sicily Oil on shore. TOBACCO.-The only purchase worth reporting is a soul parcel of Marylands, about 80 hhds., at sd. to 7id. WooL.-There is a brisk demand for Wool ; the prices con' tinue very firm, and a good deal of business has been done. RICE.-The public sale of Rice yesterday was all taken in at 6d. above the market value, which shows that the holder s have a good opinion of the article. Fauir.-The quantity of Fruit brought to public a uction this week has been extensive, consisting of all description s the chief part found buyers, and in some instances at improve(' prices ; new Valencia Raisins are scarce, and are held at an advance of 2s. per cwt. ; a small parcel has been sold at tills improvement, 48s. Hors.-The Market is very steady ; fine Hops, both nev i and yearlings, must, from their great scarcity , be h i g her; the great bulk ' of the last crop remaining u n so ld, bein g of low and inferior description. P r i,,-bs without variation. SALTPETRE.-The prices of Saltpetre are rather higher; several small parcels arc reported sold privately at the improve' ment. SPICES._—The public sales of Pepper have consisted most of fair quality, only a very small portion sold from 41d. w r, 4id., almost heavy sd. The last sales of Cassia Lignea c onsist of 2,519 chests, about one half of which sold ; at the cool' mencement of the sales the prices were Is. 6d. to 2s. lower, but rather better rates have since been obtained, broi‘e"-„ 565. 6d., coarse 575. 6d., thin but false packed 58s 6d. r" 595. 6d. ; two lots of fine even thin taken in at 58s. to 6O Of Pimento no sales are reported ; 284 bags Cloves were of fered publicly, Bourbon ord. and mid. sold Bid. to 9d., 1 3 e e : coolen mid. 90., one lot at 10d., being a decline of id. pe' pound.
