EVENING SUN AMERICAN NEWS MONDAY, DEC. .6.—The Second Session of the Twenty seventh Congress, commenced this day, at 12 o'clock. with a full attendance of Senators. The President pro tern. having announced that there was a quorum present, a Message was sent to the House of Representatives to communicate that fact, and a Committee was appointed to wait upon the President of the United States, with a joint Committee from the House of Representatives, to inform him that the two Houses were ready to receive any Message which he might have to communicate. The customary resolution for furnishing the Senators wit newspapers was then adopted, and the Senate ad journed until twelve o'clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock, and the names of the members were called over, when a quorum was found to be in attendance. Governor Dodge, of Wisconsin, and Mr. Granger, of New York, took the oaths and their seats. A. Dickens, Esq., Secretary of the Senate, appeared below the bar with a message from the Senate, to inform the House that the Senate was ready to proceed to business. THE BOUNDARY QUESTIONS—COMMENCE MENT OF THE ABOLITION DEBATE—THE RULES OF THE HOUSE. Mr. W. Cost Johnson requested the Speaker to dis connect his name from the Committee on the Public Lands, of which he was Chairman. He intimated that the great question of distribution, in which he had taken a deep interest, had been disposed of, and therefore his services there would be the less required ; but he was de sirous to devote himself to another important subject, and he gave notice, that at the earliest opportunity, he proposed to move that a Select Committee be appointed on the subject of oar national boundaries. Whilst he was up, he would make an effort—whether it would be successful he knew not—to proceed with the immediate organiza tion of the House, and therefore he moved that the rules of the 26th Congress be adopted as the rules of this Con gress, until otherwise ordered by the House, or until the Committee appointed at the last Session to revise the rules and report thereon to the House, shall have com pleted their labours. He moved the adoption of the rule:, which were hi foree at . the close of the 26th Congress, because he knew there were many who disapproved of the rules of the last session—to the one hour rule in par ticular, and he hoped his motion would be adopted. Mr. Adams said he had an amendment to Aim to that proposition. He was perfectly willing to adopt the rules of the twenty-sixth Congress, as they existed at the close of its second session, with the exception of the twenty-first rule.—(Laughter.) The amendment which he had to offer proposed to adopt all the rules. of OR , twenty-sixth Congress, with the exception which he had mentioned. Mr. W. C. Johnson said that the operation of the rules which he proposed to adopt raried but little in re spect to abolition petitions from that of the rules of the last session, for under neither of them did one single abo lition petition reach the table. As, then, there was no material difference in their operation, why not adopt the rules of the 2Gth Congress for a few days, so that the bu siness of the session might be proceeded with ?—(Cries of " Question, question.") Mr. Adams said the gentleman's statement was in complete, and calculated to mislead. The rules of the last Session extended to all petitions—and not to aboli tion petitions alone—on all subjects that were not dis tinctly mentioned in the President's Message, and certain special exceptions. Mr. Fillmore foresaw .it was indispensable that this question should now be settled. Thu only question was. which was the best mode to settle it. Ile was in hopes that sonic rule would be adopted to govern the House dur ing debate, before they entered upon the discussion of the 21st rule; and for that purpose he was in hopes that a middle course would be taken, and that they should then take up the Report of the Committee made at the last Ses sion, and make it the special order until it was disposed of. If, however, they went into a debate on this exciting subject in the state iu which the House then was —with out rules to guide and govern them—they might see seenes of excitement and disorder unbecoming the dig nity of the House, and of the nation which they repre sented. He hoped, therefore, that the rules of the last . - Session would be adopted fora limited time, and that in that time the Report of the Committee at the last Session would be passed upon. Mr. Stanley hoped the proposition of the gentleman from New York (A:r. Fillmore) would meet the sanction of the House, and he therefore made the motion, as sug gested by that gentleman, that the rules of the last Ses sion be adopted as the rules of tkis House for fifteen days, and that the Report of the Committee, appointed to revise the rules at the last Session be printed fur the House, and' be made the special order for to-morrow, and each subsequent day, until disposed of. He hoped they should then go on with the organization of the House, and make a fair start with the business of the country. To promote this object, he would now move the previous question. Mr. Protlit saw no serious objection to entering upon this discussion at an early period. Mr. Adams—l object to the proposition now made by the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Stanley) be cause it will prevent the presentation of all petitions for fifteen days, which will be in direct opposition to a rule which provides that the presentation of petitions shall be the first business of every morning for the first thirty dap of the session. If you take away the right of pe tition from Abolitionists, you take it away from all other persons. Mr. Charles Brown said he perceived that they were about to commence the same circuit as that in which they, ran the last session. He had hoped that the tem per in which they had appeared to meet would have led them to adopt a different course. He then expressed his desire that this question should be fully discussed, and that then the rules should be adopted which should best secure order, and restore peace and harmony. Mr. Wise said he perceived if they continued that debate they would delay the business of the session for an unreasonable time. He would, therefore, with the general consent of the house, move that a Committee be appointed to join the Committee of the Senate, and wait upon the President of the United States, to inform him that the House Was in session and ready to receive any communication he might desire to make. He made this motion at this time, because it was the most favourable time ; and perhaps the motion could not be made at all if it were nut made then, and they should not in consequence be a ble to get the Message to-morrow. The motion was unanimously atillPtuti,.-aml Messrs. Wise, Briggs, and Clifford were appointed the Committee on the part of the House. i The Speaker then r eca ll e d the House to the, questi on before it, namely, th e mo ti on o f the gentleman from M ag . sachusetts (Mr. Adams). The amendment of Mr. Ad ams wa s negatived—Ayes 84, Noes 87—majority 3. Mr. Wise reported that the joint Committee of the two Houses had waited upon the President of the United States, and informed liiin that they were ready to receiv e _ any communication whi c h h e m i g h t d es i re to make, and that the President repli e d th a t h e wou ld sen d a Messa g e to the two Houses to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. On the motion of Mr. Wise the House adjourned. HOME-MADE CONS. AND FAR-WESTERS. 1. Why is a lady's boa dropped in the street like a blind devil ?

DISTURBANCE AT THE BILSTON COL , LIERIES. - A report is ii circulation, which we have every. reason to believe is correct, that two troops of the Ennis killen Dragoons, stationed in this town, have been order ed to Bilston, in consequence of a fear being entertained of an outbreak on the part of the colliers in that neigh bourhood. We have not henrd whether any actual riot has occurred, but there can be no doubt, from the above circumstance, that apprehensions are felt by the autho rities of the town. (Further extracts from the American papers.) ABOLITION IN THE HOUSE—TEMPER OF THE WHIGS—THE MESSAGE. ___ WASHINGTON, DEC. 6, 1841.—We are to have a pro tracted fight on that most refreshing topic, abolition. The go-by was given to it for to-day, but it is to be met and settled before any other business can be acted upon. It is difficult to say,whether the Northern or Southern men are most fanatical on this subject. A majority from all sec tions of the country are disposed to consider it tem perately, and without reference to personal objects; but there are always a few men in Congress who have some petty interest to subserve by keeping alive an excitement, and they uniformly make a parade of the championship of the right of petition on the one hand, or of slavery on the other. If this class of men could be kept quiet, the difficulty would be settled at once. Let a Select Com mittee be raised, to which all abolition petitions shall be referred. Let Mr. Adams be the chairman, and let the Committee be composed entirely of rational men from the free States, and we shall have a unanimous report, which would be acceptable to all parties •in the House, with the exception of ten or a dozen red-mouthed Abolitionists, who are bent on mischief. Unless some such plan is agreed upon, we shall have the same scenes of agitation and irritation year after year. A report from such a Committee would put an end to all discus sion and excitement for ten years to come. The question of the right of petition has become so mixed up with abolition, that, with hardly a dozen Aboli tionists in the House, about one-half of the members are arrayed against the South on the question of the recep tion of petitions. At the extra session there was a pro position for the adjustment of this question, but it was never fairly presented, and the whole matter was laid over by common consent. From present indications, but a small portion of the Whigs will support the fiscal scheme of the Adminis tration. There is more bitterness towards the President among the Clay-men than was anticipated. TWENTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION.—SENATE. _ _ SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Railway accidents have of late oc curred so frequently that it is only in cases where the slaughter has been on a large scale that pub lic attention is drawn to their occurrence. In ordinary cases, involving merely the sacrifice of individual life, or confined to the destruction of limb, or the suffering which saps the constitu tion and delivers its victim over to an early grave, the affair is disposed of by the public Journals in a short paragraph with a side-head, or, what is more probable, is not known beyond the spot where the accident occurred, or the limited social circle of which the sufferer was a member. The public is too much taken up with what is present to bestow much regard upon the past; and seldom pauses to add up the amount of slaughter and the collateral calamities produced by these occurrences, so as to possess their ag gregate for a given period, so far as it can be ascertained. Every one can remember the pain ful shock, the almost breathless excitement, which two or three more than usually destructive collisions, and running off the rails by trains on different lines, produced on public feeling in the course of last year. Inquests were held on the bodies of the sufferers—heavy deodands were given by the Juries,in the hope that self-in terest would operate upon the Directors ofßailway Companies to exercise the most active and unabat ed vigilance, in order to secure, as far as possible, the safety of the passengers by their carriages. For a short time this result was obtained. But the public feeling recovered from the shock it had received. The number of passengers were again raised to the usual average. The verdicts of the juries became inoperative against the funds of the Companies, in consequence of the Coroner'sinqui sitions being quashed by the Court of Queen's Bench for technical informalities. Another, and yet another, followed by a third catastrophe, ex ceeding, in the numbers of the slaughtered and the mangled, those which preceded it, have again roused public feeling to a painful pitch of appre hension as to the state of the arrangements made by the Directors for the safety of passengers by loco motive carriages, which are, it is evident, loose, imperfect, and exceedingly unsatisfaetory. It will be seen whether the unprecedentedly large sacrifice of life and limb by the accident which occurred on the Great Western Railway on Friday last, will prove as inoperative as those which preceded it; - or whether it will induce the Directors of the several lines to establish a perfect system of inspection both of the car riages and rails,. and of the state of the cuttings, on their lines, with every other precaution calcu lated to give all possible security to a mode of travelling which involves dangers so tremen dous, and destruction so extensive and inevi table. It is obvious, beyond controversy, that if by the slightest obstruction in its course, or by a deviation from the prescribed and well-ascer tained laws of locomotion, the train be forced from the line of rails, and the carriages, impelled with their accustomed velocity, be, as they necessarily must be, overturned, and engines, boilers, carriages laden with passengers, with the mighty masses of ponderous machines and lug gage, be crushed and commingled together—that in such a case a miraculous interposition can alone prevent fearful destruction. The verdict of the Jury in the case of the eight unfortunate beings who were deprived of life by the accident on the Great Western on Friday last (another is since dead), will produce a salutary effect on the most vulnerable point of the Directors of public Companies—that of their pecuniary interests. That verdict is unencumbered with any matter ofdoubt till legal validity. It is plain and powerfully ex plicit; setting the acumen of lawyers at defiance to discover a point on which to hang an applica• ioLi to the Supreme Court to set it aside. It im votes- gross incaution to the servants of the Com pany, and therefore fixes a deodand of 1,0001. on the engine and tender attached to the train ; but, avoiding the error of former juries impannelied on inquiries of a similar kind, it does not impute criminal negligence to the Directors or any per sons in their employ : this would have stultified their verdict, and rendered the inquiry practi ,!ally inoperative against purse or person, in a vain attempt to reach both. STANDARD.—This morning we find the authority of the late Mr. Ricardo quoted, to p ove what it would seem scarcely necessary to prove, the fact, namely, that the sellers of corn like good prices. This, as we have hinted, ap pears to be an unnecessary proof; but we find it in troduced for the purpose of a contrast with the sellers of cotton goods, who, we are assured, like bad prices. This seems to be a riddle. We cannot tell why the sellers of cotton like bad prices ; and we , for ourselves, never met with one of the liberal dealers in calicos and muslins who manifested the inclina tion said to be characteristic of their order. Bad prices and good prices, high prices and low prices, are relative terms, marking a difference, to be measured by the degrees of profit and loss; the price which yields much profit is a good or high price, whatever its absolute amount; and the price which yields a small profit, or no profit, or involves a loss, is a had or low price, independently of all other consider ations. Why, then, should landowners only wish for high prices, and millowners desire low prices? There is the riddle. The Morning Chronicle, which has resuscitated the ingenious conundrum, explains :—The landowners wish to sell at good prices; the millowners wish to buy, or, which is the same thing, to produce, at bad prices. Prices, in reference to the landowners, are spoken of as verified by market notes, but the mill. owners' prices are collected from the mill, books, and are adroitly styled " natural prices." Thus the riddle is solved,:and we learn from its solution the not very novel truth, that land owners and millowners, like all other persons who trade, like to buy cheap, and sell dear. We know not whether the Morning Chronicle or Mr. Ricardo has the merit of this profound dis covery, and it does not matter much; for of stuff like this—of the abuse of words, employ ing them now in one sense, now in another— all the books of political economy— Mr. Ricardo's among the rest—are made up. Is there, however, no contrast between landowners and millowners in respect to prices, using the word in its plain com mon sense meaning of market prices ? Yes there is. It must be always the landlord's interest, that the manufacturer's prices should be high, because the high prices of manufactures give him more and more richer customers; but it need not be always the interest of the manufacturer that the landowner should obtain high prices, but the reverse must be the case were it not for the Corn-laws because the impoverishment of the landowner, and of all classes de pendent upon him, that is, of five-sixths of the nation, would diminish the cost of production to the millowner, by giving him more labourers, in the first instance, at a cheaper rate, and in a con dition so miserable as to enable him to reduce wages far lower than any reduction in the price of food could warrant. TRUE TORYISM.—The Tog " guardian" of the poor of a village near Wakefield (who can write his own name, if he keeps going, but, should he break off, is unable to finish it, and cannot write or 'read any other word), considers sixteen pence a day too much for a certain poor man, within the limits of his guardian ship, with a family of seven children, and complained of that extravagant sum having been paid by a brother Tory, who, to the deep regret of the poor, is tyrannizing over them as surveyor of the highw a ys. These vill age t determination after laying their heads tog e th er , came t o th e uete r rnination of reducing the wages of the poor men to One 8/4 ing a_ day, in consequence 6 of their fearing they That the 11177 11 1d g h fo a:fe N all the able bodied men in the township ap plying Leeds Tintevs°rk.—This surely shows the state of trade.— Leeds OUR 4.

We challenge the Churchman to point out one measure of human progress that has been instituted or supported by " the Church." The Bishops defended negro slavery te the last ; they resisted the amelioration of the penal code ; they refused emancipation to the Ca tholics ; they voted against the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts ; they helped to pass the Corn-laws ; they opposed the Reform Bill ; they have always been the alders and abettors of Government in its wars with foreign people ; they are steady and invariable opponents of national education ; they hate the name of reform ; a free press is their detestation and abhorrence ; they are the enemies of freedom and civilization all over the world.—Leeds Tines.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF,BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 28. _ IN RE MICHAEL DANKS. The bankrupt had carried on very extensive business as a carpet manufacturer and warehouseman in Hatton garden. _ _ The day being appointed for the adjourned choice of assignees, a number of creditors were present, and seve ral proofs tendered to establish the right of voting in the appointment. Mr. George Robinson, of Kidderminster, and Mr. George Jones, of Skinner -street, Snow-hill, both carpet manufacturers, were appointed assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. POLICE MEDDLING.—A young man named George Cole, was brought before Messrs. Lucas and Fairbrother, the sitting Aldermen, by police constable 282, under the following circumstances : The constable stated that he was desired by his ser geant to take a horse and cart, which was opposite to a public-house, to the; green-yard, and, while doing so, the prisoner came up and seized hold of the bridle, say ing he should not take the horse away, when he gave him into the custody of another policeman. Mr. Gardner, the proprietor of the public-house where the horse stood, said the owner had sold a quantity of sheep to a butcher in Smithfield market, and turned into his parlour to draw up a receipt for their payment. The prisoner, who was the pot-boy, stood at the door to watch the horse, but, being called, during his absence it was taken away. _ _ Messrs. Lucas and Farebrother strongly reprehended such unseemly meddling, and said the constable should have gone into the house to inquire for the owner in stead of stealing it away as he did. They were deter mined, in a very short time, to put an end to those green yard oppressions. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named James Senior, w as charged by Barnet Isaacs with having stolen three half sovereigns and a sixpence. From the complainant's statement it appeared that, having been fatigued by excessive indul gence in the amusements of a masquerade, held at the sign of Old Harry's Head, in Red Lion-street, White chapel, he retired to the Turk's Head, in Aldgate, to take coffee, and there sunk into a gentle sleep. He was, how ever, soon disturbed by a disagreeable sensation about his pocket in which his gold and silver were deposited ; and opening his eyes, and his feelings at the same time, detected the prisoner's hand in the immediate vicinity, and said to him, "Jim, d—n your eyes be quiet, good luck to you !" Alderman QIBBS—Had he his hand in your pocket? Complainant-41e had, but I had the money in my hand. Well, I thought he'd be satisfied with trying it on once, and so off I did go to sleep again, and no mistake ; and so I soon began to feel more disagreeable than ever about the money. Alderman Ginns—What ! while you were asleep? Complainant—Yes, please you, my Lord. At last I thought I felt it go away right bang out of my hand, and so I woke up ; and sure enough it was gone, and my pocket cut right through and through. Alderman GIBBS—Pray, in what state were you at this time? Complainant—l had been tipsy when I came from the masquerade, but not so bad as not to miss my money.—(A laugh.) Alderman CI-Inns—Pray, what character did you ap pear in there? Complainant—l just went in as lam now Alderman GIBBS (to the complainant, who had a filthy Petticoat-lane countenance and figure)—What ! like a man of business? Complainant—No; like a man arter he's done his business. I just walked in like the gentle man at the bar and other gentlemen what was there. Alderman GIBBS—Oh, then, the prisoner was ono of your companions at the masquerade ? Complainant— To be sure he was. There was him, and Mike Samuels, and me, all went together, and I paid three sixpences for the admission of all of us. Mike knows I stood the blunt, so that it was a shame to rob me of the three half sovereigns, and the remaining sixpence, warn't it, Mike ? Mike Samuels stepped to the table and said, " Do you call me to give my evidence Barney ? Complainant—Yes, th a t I do, Mike. Now, this is a gentleman, please your Lordship, as, s'elp me God, knows all about it. • Alderman GIBBS—Very well. Now, Mr. Samuels, what did you see of this affair ? Mike Samuels—Why you see, my Lord, Barney sits down in the tap-room, and he goes asleep, but up he starts all of a suddent, and says he to me, Mike, says he, you've robbed me of all my money.—(Great laughter.) Prisoner—And that was just none at all, my Lord ; for I had to pay for his admission to the masquerade, as he had not a farthing. Mike Samuels—Well, my Lord, I says to him, what do you mean by that ere nonsense ? What do I know of your money? I a'int got no money of yearn. So then he throws down his hat with a wery great swinge and violence, and then he takes hold of thi s h ere hinno cent young body, and he says, if you don't get me my money, some on you shall sweat for it, I'm blowed ; and then he calls the officer and locks him up in the louse house.—(Great laughter.) That's all. Alderman GIBBS—Why, complainant, your witness, Mr. Samuels, has stated the case in the clearest manner against you. It seems that you first suspected one, and then another, and I suppose you thought that Mr. Samuels would be glad to get out of the disgrace of the accusation, and throw it upon the prisoner. But you were mistaken. The complainant then turned upon Mike Samuels, and said, Why, Mike, s'elp me God, you ai'nt told a word of truth. I wars only jokin g von 1 said you tuck my money. I know'd all the time it was Jim's hand that tuck it, for I felt it fast enough in my pocket. The policeman said that he had heard the complainant distinctly charge the two persons with having robbed him. Alderman GIBBS supposed, that if the complainant lost any money at all, he _lost it at the masquerade, where somebody might have adopted the character of a thief for the night, and performed it much better than Mr. Isaac's performed his own natural character of a Jew. The prisoner was then discharged. George Rivers was charged with havinc , stolen two odd boots from the shop of Mr. Castle, bootmaker, at No. 28i in the Poultry. The prosecutor stated, that between six and seven o'clock in the evening of the 22d of December, the pri soner walked into the shop, and, seizing two odd boots, ran out with them. The prosecutor followed, and secured the fellow. Barker, a City policeman, into whose custody the pri soner was given, stated, that in their way to the Compter the prisoner, upon being asked how much he had ex pected to get for the odd boots, replied that he expected about six shillings for them, but, if they had been a pair, he should have got seven shillings for them ; and he added, that the reason odd boots fetched a price so high was, that at the shop at which he sold them there were plenty of boots to match whatever could be got hold of. He, however, refused to state where that shop was.—The prisoner was committed fur trial. An engineer, named John Dixon, was charged with having committed desperate assaults upon policemen and other persons. The defendant, who is a powerfnl young man, had been holiday-keeping, and, as he passed along in the neighbourhood of London-bridge, where he tumbled several times, was inspired with the fancy of bringing others to his own level. He accordingly let fly his fists at persons whom he met, and down they went in the mud with as dead a certainty as he fell himself. At last he was thrown down at the door of a shop by a gentle man whom he had struck violently in the face, and taken hold of by the police. When in the hands of the police men, he went to work, as if by steam, with his hands and feet, and one of the unfortunate officers, who hap pened to be within reach of his power, was soon after wards transferred to the hands of the surgeon, who charged ss. for advice and leeches. Alderman GIBBS asked the defendant whether he could say anything at all in answer to such an acctisationi: The defendant said he must have had too much liquor, for he knew nothing at all about the matter. Alderman Ginns:-You might have killed this police man. The defendant—Aye ' lam told I had too much beer. I dare say I had, too, for Ido assure you I know nothing of it at all. _ Alderman Ginns—l am sorry to see that you don't seem even to regret it. The defendant—Oh, yes, lam sorry for it. lam pretty sure I sat too long in the public-house ; but it was Christmas time, you know, my Lord. ._ _ Alderman GThus—But you must not murdeueople because it is Christmas. .The defendant—No ; but I had too much beer—that's the fact. The Alderman then fined the defendant 31., which was soon afterwards paid. - - METEOR.—On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a very brilliant meteor was observed over the city. The phenomenon was seen by various parties from different parts of the city and neighbourhood. Its progress, which was comparatively slow, was towards the north-west, and the line of its descent formed an angle with the horizon of about 35 degrees. The nucleus had very much the appearance of a large eye of six or eight inches in apparent diameter, the centre of which was of a dark red colour, the outer concentric rings be coming. paler towards the outer circle of the body, and the various shades of colour passing imperceptibly into each other. The outermost colour was a very brilliant light yellow or straw colour, and the tail, which was continued for about, apparently, four feet from the cir cumference of the eye, was of the same light straw colour, rather darker on the edges, and terminated in a point; the edges being quite distinctly defined. On ap proaching pretty near to the horizon, it exploded at the nucleus, with a dull, but very loud report, accompanied by a whizzing noise, and discharged a great number of brilliant sparks, something like those from a sky-rocket, and before these were lost sight of the whole meteor had vanished.— Glasgow Arqus. EDMONTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—On Wed the annual examination of the t a o s o t l took place at*the school-room at tachedllisigi:lltution in Silver-street, Upper Edmon ton,Markham, Esq., of Bridport Hall, the late li the chair, who, on his ascending the plat ed with much applause from his f isn o er r his i odcl , aßaiypr.

Adams, the present Principal, opened the proceedings in a very able speech, in which he detailed the principles of instruction adopt ed in this very popular establishment. He was much cheered. The Chairman, with his usual ability, spoke at some length on the benefits. arising from early education, which he illustrated by familiar comparisons. The pupils then went through their examination, in which they fully di s pl aye d t h e grea t a tt en ti on th a t h a d been paid to them by t h e i r i nstructors . Th e w h o l e af forded the most lively satisfaction to a numerous and highly respectable audience, who repeatedly attested their approbation by loud applause.

" Frederick William was so pleased with Gundling, that he immediately secured his services ; he soon be came his Majesty's daily guest, and accompained him wherever he went for the sake of pleasure. The most dangerous privilege which the King conferred on Gundling was free access to the Royal beer and wine cellar. The Learned Councillor addicted himself to drinking so immoderately, that, both in the smoking party and at the Royal table, he very often appeared intoxicated, and never quitted it otherwise than com pletely drunk ; sometimes, indeed, in so helpless a state, that he bad to be carried home. As the King made his provosts wear French bags, that they might be regarded as ignominious, so he strove to make the Court gala dress ridiculous, by requiring Gundling to appear in no other. This dress the King sent to him in 1717, with the appointment of Grand Master of the Ceremonies. It consisted of a red coat, lined with black velvet, with gold button-holes, and large French, cuffs, and a richly embroidered waistcoat. His head was adorned with a prodigious wig of white goats'-hair descending in many hundred curls, and a large hat with red ostrich feathers. The breeches were straw-coloured ; with these he wore red-heeled shoes. This gala dress was not long in the best condition. The wearer rarely went home without tumbling into some ditch or kennel, and, if he did chance to keep upon his legs, he could not escape the very coarse practical jokes played off upon him, in general at the instigation of the King. Once, in winter, when the Grand Master of the ceremonies was reeling across the bridge from the palace of Wusterhausen, he was seized by four stout grenadiers, who bound him hand and foot, and let him down, with terrible outcries, into the moat, which was frozen. The rope slipped out of their hands, and Gundling fell with such violence that the centre of gravity broke through the ice, and he had the greatest difficulty to keep himself from sinking with his elbows and his feet. Means were instantly taken to get him out, but he lost both has. and wig in this cold bath. The King was so delighted itith the scene that he had it painted several times. - On another occasion, some mischievous wags put two young bears, remarkable for their nastiness, and which ran about like yard-dogs at the palace of Wusterhausen, into Grundling's bed, and then carried the drunken historian to pass the night with these delectable bedfellows, who made him in such a pick'e that for several days he was not admitted to the Royal table."—Campbell's Frederick the Great and his Times. COLBUItN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, AND HUMORIST, FOR JANUARY, 1842, EDITED BY THO MAS, HOOD, ESQ.—Amongst the admirers of true wit, humour, and pleasant reading, Colburn's New Monthly has always taken the first rank in periodical literature. Under the editorship of Thomas Hood, and at the cog • mencement of a new year, its claims to the attention of the public are redoubled. The January Number con tains an extraordinary variety of entertaining and amus ing papers by the most distinguished writers of the day. The Editor himself has contributed no less than three articles, " An Anacreontic .for the New Year," " English Retrogression," and " The University Feud ; or, a Row at the Oxford Arms," all in his best style. Mr. Poole, the author of " Paul Pry," has a most humorous paper called" The School; for Horse Play," and continues his ca ustic story of " Phi neas Quiddy." Barry Cornwall re appears in these pages with some excellent verse, en titled " Weeds and flowers ;" Mr. Laman Blanchard furnishes a laughter-exciting- sketch called " Wanted, a Father, Mother, and a Few Sisters." The author of " Rattlin the Reefer," presents us with a stirring story, under the title of " The Sea Lawyer; " and Mr. Horace Smith appeared to great advantage in his " Short Rides in an Author's Omnibu s ; the facetious " Peter Prig gins" continues his " Graduates and Under-Graduates" with unfailing spirit ; and besides all these attractive papers we have several others of a more than usually ex citing kind, and which will attract much attention. Amongst them some original letters of Dean Swift, now fir the first time given to the public ; Recollections of Eton," by auEtonian; an" Account of Lebanon in 1841 ;" he "Reminiscences of a Medical Student;" and the re entrkable story, "A Strange Passage in the Life of Charles - Welford." Altogether the first Number for 18.12 of Colburn's New Monthly Magazine may be said to distance all its competitors, and give extraordinary pro mise of the future exertions of its distinguished editor and his coadjutors. The remains of the late Earl of Westmoreland were deposited in the family vault at Apthorp, near Peterborough, on the 27th instant. They were attended by the Dowager Countess of Westmorland, who left, America fifteen months ago, in consequence of letters from the Noble Earl, earnestly and affQctionately entreat ing her to return. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Sir Thomas Wiltshire, the newly-appointed Com mandant of this garrison, dined, on. Christmas.day, with Col. Warre, K.H., in the new mass-room. Sir Thomas Wiltshire, on Friday, inspected the soldiers of the Provincial Battalion and the depots, as also the barracks, prison, library, &c., of _which the Gallant Officer spoke with much praise. He takes the com mand of this garrison the beginning of next month. A dinner, upon a most magnificent scale, is to be given by the officers of the garrison on Tuesday, as a farewell entertainment to the late Commandant, Sir William Warre, K.C.B. The new and splendid mess-room, recently built, and which is the finest mess-room in the country, is the appointed plice for the dejeuner. The room is splendidly lighted with gas. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Thalia, 42, Captain C. Hope, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the east ward. She has recently come from Leith, where she has been very successful in procuring volunteers to join her. The Powerful, 84, Captain M. Seymour, will come into the harbour this day, and will be paid off as soon as she is unrigged. She was to have come in yesterday, but was prevented by the thick fog which was prevailing at the time the tide would admit of her entering the harbour. Vice-Admiral Sir J. A. Om manney has struck his flag. The Numa transport, with the detachments of the Royal Artillery and 59th Regi ment on board, bound to the West Indies is still at Spithead, but will sail to-day if the wind is any way favourable. The detachment of the Royal Artillery has already been upwards of a month on board of her. The Queen, 110, Captain Rich, bent her sails yester day, and is now all ataunt. She will proceed on Wed nesday or Thursday to Spithead. The whole of the ships now fitting out here for foreign service, consisting of the Warspite, 50, Vindictive, 50, Rapid, 10, and Queen, 110, will go out of harbour this week. Ships at Spithead—Powerful, 84, Thalia, 42, Hazard, 18, Snake, 16, and Numa transport. Ships in harbour— St. Vincent, Victory, Queen, Warspite, Vindictive, Rapid, Royal George yacht, Excellent, and Adventure, naval transport. PLYMOUTlL—Previously to giving up the command at this dockyard on Tuesday last, Vice-Admiral War ren made a memorandum, stating his high gratification at the conduct of every officer and man belonging to the establishment. The memorandum having been forwarded to the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, their Lordships have expressed their approbation and pleasure at such a repot t of the officers and men of Piymouth dockyard. Admiral Warren was appointed to the command on the promotion of Rear-Admiral C. B. H. Ross, C. 8., to his flag, about four years and nine months since, and when that excellent officer left, accompanied by the good wishes of all grades of the es tablishment, hopes were expressed that his successor would be equally worthy of their regard. Those hopes have been fully realised. An order has arrived here from the Lords of the Admiralty commanding the attendance of the master shipwright, Mr. Hawkes, at Woolwich, on the 3d of January, to meet the master shipwrights of the other dockyards. When assembled they are to take into con sideration the propositions of Mr. Blake, master ship wright of the Portsmouth establishment, for the better construction of ships of war with respect to their strength of framing ; and reference is to be had to the complaints made of the construction of the Bri tannia and other strip. They are to decide on the best plan for building ships of war in future. That decision is to be final, and is to put an end to that cavil which has so often occurred among the members of their profession. The ability and long experience of these gentlemen will guarantee such a decision as will justify their Lordships in rejecting any other proposi tions that may differ from the mode they may deter mine upon. The Dido, 26, Captain Hon. H. Keppel, arrived on Sunday from Sheerness. She will be paid advance of wages at this port, and proceed to the Mediterranean. The Heroine, 10, Lieut.-Commander S. D. Stewart, and Spy, 3, were paid advance of wages on Monday. The Alban steam•vessel, Master-Commander King, arrived here on Monday from Bristol. The Camel lighter, Faben master, arrived on Sunday from Pembroke. APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenants : Henry Courtney, and Thomas Beillk to the Isis ; John Pollard Davey to the Illustrious. Mate : Armytage to the Dido. PROMOTION.—H. J. Giles to the rank of Lieutenant. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. From the London Mercantile Journal of December 28.) SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovado Sugar was extremely dull last week, both the grocers and refiners having limited their purchases to actual wants, and prices further gave way about 6d per cwt in all cases except for the finest samples with colour, of which there are yet few boards to be met with. Ja maica; middling strong yellow, has sold at 645, Antigua, fine bright yellow at 725, and low middling and middling ditto at 61s to 63s per cwt. The marketclosed en Thurs day last fur the Christmas holidays, and will not re-open until the Tuesday, the 4th of January. MAummus.—The demand for this description has also been dull, and the coloury samples only have main tained their former value. No public sale has been brought forward, and the transactions by private treaty are unworthy of remark. EAST INDlA.—There has been increased heaviness in the demand for Bengal Sugar, even the white descrip tions have with difficulty met with buyers, and altoge ther prices continue to wear a gloomy appearance. The market for Foreign East India descriptions con tinues inactive, but the holders are very firm, and the quantity on offer is yet small. FOREIGN.—There is nbt much inquiry after either white or yellow Havannah ; at the same time, how ever, there are few parcels in the market, few of the holders being disposed to realise at present. Good and fine yellow at 21s and 21s 6d, and good white at 28s, being about is lower than previous transactions. Brown qnalities of Brazil are still inquired after by the refiners, but the market being yet without a supply, bu siness is precluded ; fine brown Bahia 17s per cwt. REFINED.—A steady demand has existed for Refined goods from the home trade this week, and full rates have been paid : standard Lumps at 81s 6d, and brown Lumps at 74s to 79s 6d per cwt. Bastards and Pieces at re duced rates. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 29s for th e b es t. Ilamburgh Loav es s t ea dy ; 10 . 1bs 32s to 32s 6cl, and 141bs 31s to 31s 6cl per cwt. MOLASSES.—There is no further variation to notice in the value of this article, but the demand has become dull, and scarcely any business has been done. COFFEE.—There has been a somewhat better demand for the clean, and particularly the good samples of West India, the supply of which is still scanty, and a steady business has been done, though the market has not pre sented an active appearanc e ; the inferior qualities have however been neglected, and the value is little better than nominal. Berbice, good and fine middling, at 115 s to 120 s, middling at 104 s to 110 s, and fine ordi nary and low middling at 81s to 90s 6d. Ceylon at 66s to 6Ss for good ordinary pale and coloury.

Good ordinary Java, from Singapore, bought in at 45s ; good Padang sold at 34s 6d per cwt. The Foreign Coffee market remains quiet ; Sumatra at 30s, Padang at 34s and 34s 6d, and good ordinary Rio at 38s to 38s 6d per cwt, CocoA.—The demand for West India descriptions con finites dull, and to effect sales lower prices must be ac , cepted, The Colonial markets being closed, there were few persons at the usual places of business, and no transac tions worth reporting took place. TEA,—The sales were brought forward as advertised, and were but thinly attended ; the quantity put up was 8,000 packages, about 4,000 of which were sold, at prices assimilating to those of last Thursday. and there was a better feeling amongst the trade than was expected ; the remainder was bought in at full prices.

Of Bengal Rum a few small parcels have been sold at about is 3d per proof gallon, bnt 71 casks imported from Sydney were taken in at is 7d per gallon for 25 to 34 over proof.
