LIABILITY OF PARISHES AS TO EXPOSED CHILDREN AND 1)1 ?,AD BODIES.—At an inquisition held on the Ist ult.., at the Gloucester Arras Tavern, Gloucester-road, Kensington, before Mr. Wakley, M. P., Coroner for the western division of Mid dlesex, on the body of a male child about twelve months old, wl (r,ch bad been found exposed on the night of Friday, t Are 28th Nov., at the gate of the house No. 14, Maida-li ill West, Paddington, and who died in a few ohurs after its removal to the workhouse of the Kensington Uni at 1, a question arose as to the power of the parish c ,0 kers of the Board of Guardians to issue advertiscm I ins offering a reward for the dis covery of the i ,nhuman parents, which has drawn from the Poor-lac w Commissioners an opinion that "As parish officers hat /e no power to blear any expenses for the prosecution < (f vagrants, and have no duty to provide for the burial of a corpse found in the parish, the Commission( to s cons Per that there is no authority for their incurring c z pence in advertising for the discovery of the person who , :::posed such child or such corpse. if, in deed, upon any sr x h advertisement the party weredisco•.ered, a prosecution mi ;1-1t be imti tutcd, but the Commissioners do not know how a ay reimbursement of the expense incurred could be coypu Iserily obtained from such party." The re sult of the corr espondenee from which the abov,A is an ex tract, appears t, ► be, that there are no funds whatever appli cable to the pa) 'r _rent of expenses incurred in the prosecu tion of persons eserting and exposing their children, even should the offe c 'e amount to murder, as in the above case, nor to adver.fik\s g a description of the child, &c., or offer ing a rewardif v.: the apprehension of the delinquents.

A meeting was held on Wednesday, at the E ist Iti dia and Colonial Club rooms, in Suffolk-street, Pall Mall, for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing a railway to join the Northern and Eastern R iilway at Bishop's Stortford, to Norwich and Yar• mouth, by Cam'oridee, Newmarket, and Thetford. The meeting, which was both numerous and highly respectable, was attended by the 141arquis of Douro, M.P., W. L. W. Chute, Esq. M.P., Benjamin Smith, Esq., M.P., Mr. Alderman Farehrother, Isaac Jerrny, Esq., Recorder of Norwich, Samuel Bignold, Esq., Edward Varnish, Esq., General Blackford, Major Head, Captain Kerr, Richard Broun, Esq., George Robinson, Esq., William Taylor, Esq., W. J. Taylor, Esq., James W. Smith, Esq., Thomas. Hammond, Esq. (Yarmouth), J. L. Cufaude, Esq. (Yar mouth), Harman, Esq., Chairman of the Brighton Railway), M'Lean, El., William Drake, Esq. (East Dereham), Mr. Mann (Norwich), William Clark, Esq. (Thetford), Christopher Spanton, Esq. (Attleborough), Richard Lloyd, Esq., A. A. H. Beck with, Esq. (Governor of the Corporation of Guardians of Norwich), William Andrews, Esq., Hyde Clarke, Esq., William Laxton, Esq., James Sowerby, Esq., Joseph Parkes, Esq., W. M. Kitten, Esq., of Norwich, 'with numerous other influential getiaemen. W. L. W. Ciliate, Esq., M.P., was culled to the chair. The Marquis of Douito,in moving thirfiret resolution, observed that some people objected to railways altoge ther, and thought that they did not contribute much to the public convenience ; but even those persons would agree that a railway to Norwich was necessary when they were made aware of the fact, that those places which had an easy and quick communication with London by means of railroad had an advantage of which Norwich and Yarmouth had hitherto been deprived, and which proved highly injurious to the commerce and agricul culture of those populous and important towns.—( Hear, hear.) - The resolution was as follows That this meeting is impressed with a strong con viction, that unless the county of Norfolk, city of Nor wich, and towns of Cambridge, Newmarket, Thetford, ant Great Yarmouth, by the immediate construction of a railway to the metropolis, are placed upon an equality with other parts of the kingdom, where railroads are completed, and in progress, the great agricultural and commercial interest of this important district must ma terially suffer in the race of competition." SAMUEL BIGNOLD, Esq. (of Norwich), seconded the resolution. He felt that the railway was necessary for the welfare of the city of Norwich, which stood parti cularly in need of the benefits of a railway communica tion with the metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) He had lately had an opportunity of communicating with the leading manufacturers in Norwich, and there was an univeral complaint that the manufacturing interest was suffering greatly in consequence of not having the ad vantage of a railway. The merchants and traders of London could visit York and return to London almost in the time they could now merely go to Norwich. He was therefore prepared to support to the utmost the formation of a railway to Norwich, but he would not lend that support to any project which he was not fully satisfied was set on foot for the public good. If he could for a moment suppose there was any political ob ject, or any other object in this project than the promo tion of public interests and the welfare of his fellow-citizens, he would immediately retire from it.—(Hear, hear.) Two years ago there was a talk of a R iilway to Norwich, but there was then an unwil lingaes3 on the part of the citizens of Norwich to put down their names for shares, because they were appre hensive that the project would terminate like the Eastern Counties affair—that the Railway would be completed for about thirty or forty miles from London, and Norwich left in the lurch. He himself stated at the time, that if they would commence the work at Norwich he would take shares to the amount of 1,0001. He was prepared to say the same again ; and if it could be shown to the citizens of Norwich that there was a bona file intention of connecting Norwich with the metropolis, people of all shades of political opinion would come forward and support it.—( Hear, hear.) He highly approved of the line now contemplated, and would support it by taking shares, although it would not be in his power, being a commercial man, to take any active part in the management. Mr. Bignold concluded amidst great applause, by seconding the first resolution, which was carried unanimously. B. SMITH, Esq., M.P: - for Noißich, proposed the secans resolution, and expressed his opinion that the line proposed by Mr. Reetrick, the engineer, was a good line. Indeed he did not scruple to say that he had always been of opinion that a line in the direction of Cambridge would be the cheapest and most prefer able. The resolution was as follows :• " That this meeting aro of opinion that a line of railway proceeding from Yarmouth to Bishop's Stort ford, by way of Norwich, Wymondham, Attleboroui,, , h, Thetford, Newmarket, and Cambridge, will afford ad vantages for carrying out the objects proposed, and may apparently be completed at a reasonable cost, and secure c a considerable traffic, with a prospect of in crease, by the junction of railways from the north at Cambridge. and by the complption of branches from Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire., Bury St. Edmund's, and other parts of Suffolk, and all parts of the important districts of the Bedford Level ; the towns of Lynn, Swairoarn, Fakenham, and Dereham, and all the western parts of Norfolk." THOMAS HAMMOND, Eq., a Magistrate of Yi mouth, and Chairman of the Fishing Merchant,' C:u b, seconded the resolution. He was happy to say that in the town of Yarmouth all party feeling with regard to this matter W 43 completely buried in oblivion. Every one must feel the importance of a railway not only to Yarmouth and Norwich, but to the whole county— (Hear, hear)—and ho was authorised to state on behalf of the trading and fishing interests in the town of Yar mouth that they would lend their utmost endeavours to carry the measure into full effect.—(Cheers.) He agreed with Mr. Bignold that the work should be com menced simultaneously at each end, because Norwich and Yarmouth had been thrown in the background by the conduct of the Elltern Counties Railway Company. He understood that the Members for Yarmouth were out of town, otherwise he had ascertained that they would have attended this meeting ; but he could state for the information of the gentlemen present, that a few weeks ago he had a long conversa tion with, them upon the ottect of,a line :of railroad to Yarmouth, and they bothpTedged Themselves to use their utmost endeavours to have it carried into opera tion.—( Cheers.) Mr. RASTRICK then read the following extracts from an able and elaborate Report, which he had prepared : .. " The line proceeds from Bishop's Stortford to Cam bridge, thence to Newrnarket, Mildenhall, Thetford, At tleborough, Wymondham, and Norwich to Yarmouth. " In carrying out the line, but little difficulty will be experienced in getting through Parliament as to the part between Bishop's Stortford and Cambridge, inas much as all questions with the landowners have been settled in the Act, obtained by the Northern and Eastern Company, but subsequently abandoned by them for want of funds. " The geological character of nearly the entire line is the chalk formation furnishing materials of the most favourable description, both for cuttings and embank ments, and the road when once made, may be main tained at the minimum expense. " The most expensive part of the line is between Bishop's Storiford and Cambridge, and the time re quired for its completion would be about three years. " This part of the line has, however, extensive advan tages, forming as it does the key of all railroads to the metropolis coming in this direction from the north, as well as frem Norwich and all other parts of Norfolk, e Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suff o lk, and some portion of the county of Middlesex, thereby insuring a good dividend t o t he Shareholders upon th a t r embank men t s , an d on l y one viaduct, and no deep ravines o r rapid rivers to cross, miles, and th ere are no por,ttoriiinoofbtthaeincinag thepital pen xded in forming proprieto rs hip it. o f this part of the , line is therefore most i m p ort ant. " No tunnel %vitt be r e q uire d from Cambridge to Yar• ' extraordinary daindaisry deeep of nearly u tti ng s eighty distance 'whilst the materials are of such a n excellent quality of cuttings, that they may be cut u pr i ght, and a large por tion of the land is of s o inferior a quality., that its pur c n phase will form an inconsiderable item in the expendi ture, and the line does not pass through or interfere with any gentleman's park or ple asure grounds, nor i n any way passes in an objectionable manner through any town. " The whole line will form an easy and expeditious means of communication from, to, and between Cam bridge, Newmarket, the Swaffhams, Fordham, Soham, Mildenhall, Thetford , Brandon, Harling, the Bucken hams, Kenninghall, Atticborough, Hingham, Wyniond ham, Norwich, and Yarmouth ; affording facilities for .liranclies from Ware, Hertford, Huntingdon, St. Neots, Ely, Bury St. Edmu nd's, Downhar n , Swaffham, Dere ham , Lynn, and thence to Wisbech, Stamford, and the whole of the improving and important district of the Great Bedford Level of the Pens ; and also forming the natural communication between the metropolis and the contemplated new district of the Great Level of the ' W ash. . " With nil these pop ulous cities, town!, and villages, there can be no doubt but that th e passenger traffic along this line will be immense ; a nt i the line between Cambridge and Yarmouth can be made in the short space of two y e ars, whilst that from Bishop's Stortford will require on ly one year longer, so that thi s en tir e li ne will be open to the public in three years. " The cost between Cambridge and Norwich is esti mated at a less sum per mile than any other railway in the kingdom of so great an extent can be made for, this part of line extending for sixty-three miles. " The cost between Norwich and Yarmouth is esti mated at a still less sum per mile ; this part of the line extending over about 18 miles, and giving the greatest possible facility to the fishing interest in sending off their fish to the metropolis and the interior of the country, and forming the most advantageous and im portant station in the kingdom for the Northern foreign mail packets." Mr. Rastrick also produced an estimAte of the ex penses of the formation of the line, together with a .cal culation of the traffic, from data carefully collected, showing a profitable return to the shareholders for the capital to be invested. The resolution was put by the CHAIRMAN, and car ried unanimously_ Mr. BECKWITH then handed to the Chairman a letter from the Sheriff of Norwich, expressing his most decided approbation of the meeting, and the proposed line of railway. Mr. BIGNOLD proposed the third resolution, which was seconded by E. Varnish, Esq., and carried unani mously, it was as follows I " That John Urpeth Ristrick, Esq., having produced to this meeting sections and plans extending over such line, and having made a report thereon, showing its great advantages and facilities for execution, this meet ing are of opinion that a Company should be imme diately formed bar .the ,completiopof the same, to be styled the Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge Railway Company." Mr. BIGNOLD rejoiced to learn from the Report of their talented Engineer that the contemplated line of railway would nst interfere at all with the parks or estates of private gentlemen, and he hoped that cir cumstance would conciliate many in their favour. lie alluded to that statement in the Report more parti cularly, because a very intelligent and influential gen tleman, who he believed was honoured and respected by all who knew him (Mr. - Richard Gurney), had ex pressed, through the Press, his hostility to railways, because they cut through and destroyed valuable es tates, but when that gentleman ascertained that Mr. Rastrick's line would commit no such injury, he (Mr. B.) hoped that his extensive and powerful influence would be exerted in favour of an undertaking that could not fail to prove highly beneficial to his fellow-citizens. —(Cheers.) Mr. RASTRICK wished to state that there was one Nobleman's park that would he affected by the line, namely, Lord Braybrooke's, but the Act obtained by the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway Company, would obviate all difficulty in that respect. ISAAC JERSIY, Esq., Recorder of Norwich, and Chairman of the County Quarter Sessions, rose to move the next resolution. In doing so he observed tllat a meeting had been advertised, to be held at Norwich next Thursday. To the requisition calling that meet ing were the names of a great number of men of pro perty and influence, and that meeting had been called for the purpose of considering, not what particular line should be adopted, but what was hest to bo done with out regard to the interests of Solicitors, Agents, En gineers, or any party whatsoever.—(Hear.) For him self he could conscientiously state that he discountenanced anything of the sort, but before they could expect to enlist the public in their cause, they must satisfy them that they were determined to carry on the undertaking perfectly independent of all private interests.— (Hear, hear, hear.) The best way in which they could manifest such a determination, was to tender their co-operation to the Meeting about to be held at Norwich, to afford them every information and expla nation in their power, and to unite with them in car rying out the common object. If that meeting de sired a little deviation from the proposed line, the object should he to endeavour to meet their view. So if meetings should be held in Suffolk or Cambridge, they ought to be met in the same spirit.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution which had been entrusted to him was as follows : " Tnat having observed with great satisfaction the announcement of a Meeting of the Landowners of Norfolk, for the purpose of supporting a Railway, this Meeting requests its Chairman forthwith to put himself in communication with those gentlemen, it being the opinion of this Meeting that it is essential for ensuring the success of so great an undertaking that all interests should co-operate in one united effort to obtain its corn pie tiun." J. HARMAN, Esq., Chairman of the Brighton Rail way Company, seconded the resolution, lie was in no way connected with the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, but was a London man. He had, however, been engaged in a very largo undertaking of the same character, and haring had the plans and sections of the proposed rail way to Yarmouth kid before bias and explained by Mr. Rsstrick, who had acted with him in carrying out the London and Brighton Railway, he had no hesitation in saying that he fully approved of the undertaking. At the same time he would state his conviction, that if they went before Parliament with any decided opposition they would find it difficult to get parties to en-operate with them, if gentlemen who were interested in the promotion of the railway did not conic forward in a manner to convince the monied interest of Lon don and other places that they were earnest in their object. There ought, therefore, to be the greatest co-operation throughout the whole of the line. He could safely say, having looked at the plans and sec tions, and tho estimates of Mr. Rastrick, and having devoted some time to his able report, that that gentle man had furnished them with an estimate founded on honest principles. Those who embarked in the under taking need be under no apprehension of not receiving ample remuneration for their capital and trouble. He should be glad to render all the assistance in his power in carrying out the undertaking, but he must first of all be persuaded that the gentlemen who had projected it were in earnest, and felt the necessity of a railway. CHRISTOPHER SPANTON, Esq., Attleborough, stated that he had received a note from Sir Thomas Beevor, expressing his approbation of the undertaking. He had waited on Lord Albemarle, who had told him that his engagements would prevent his attending the meeting, but that he was ready to assist the measure by all the means in his power, and his Lordship had dis tinctly authorised him (Mr. Spanton) to state to the meeting that he was perfectly satisfied the Railway would prove advantageous to his property and the country in general.—(Hear, hear.) A letter hid also been put into his band by Mr. Cufaudc, of Yarmouth, from the Mayor of that borough, approving the line ; and be could assure the meeting that through out the district in which he resided (Attleborough) the landowners were unanimously in favour of the proposed railway.—(Hear, hear.) WILLIAM CLARK, Esq. (Clerk of the Peace of Thetford) begged leave to state that he had been re , quested to attend the Meeting on the part of Thet ford, and to express the concurrence of the inhabit- ants of that borough in the measure, and their desire to see it carried into full operation. His (as the agent of my Lord Ashburton) could also state that as the line projected by Mr. Rastrick would not inter fere prejudicially with his Lordship's estate, he (Lord Ashburton) would support it. The intended railway would certainly pass through Lord Ashburton's pro perty as well as his own, but he (Mr. C.) would cheerfully submit to any thing that was for the good of Thetford and the country in general.—(Hear, hear.) John Deck. Esq.. of Bury. had also written to say that he highly approved of Mr. Rastrick's line, and that the inhabitants of Bury were anxious to see the main trunk of the railway established, in order that a branch might be carried on to Bury, and that he was convinced the Marquis of Bristol, ever anxious to promote the inte rests of that borough, would give the undertaking his cordial support.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. DRAKE stated that he should not have obtruded himself upon the notice of the meeting but for the obser vations of Mr. Harman, the Chairman of the Brighton Railway. Having, however, been in communication with several of the Noblemen and Gentlemen whose names had been mentioned in the announcement of the meeting to be held in Norwich, and holding letters from Lord Sondes and others of those parties, containing as surances that they were not pledged to any particular line, he felt it due to the meeting, and particularly to those London capitalists who had honoured the meeting with their sanction and presence, to assure them that the requisitionists of the Norwich meeting would ap proach the discussion of the subject unfettered, and quite prepared to adopt the most practicable and least expensive line ; and, indeed, had they been aware of the great sacrifice in expense and labour which had been incurred in maturing and perfecting the able plans, sections, and report, which Mr. Rastrick had this day produced, he (Mr. ll.) felt assured that these gentle men would not have felt any such meeting necessary. Mr. DRAKE added that he Wdo, also intrusted with letters from influential inhabitants of the important town of Lynn, expressive of cordial co-operation in the objects of the meeting, and begging that the exten sion of the line to that densely populated and wealthy district might not ha lost sight of ; which letters were handed in to the Chairman. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. VARNISH proposed the sth resolution : " That a Committee be appointed to arrange the . de tails of the Company, and carry out the viers of them meeting, with power to add to their numbers?' Which was seconded by D. M'LEAN, EA., an d car ried unahirnously. A. A, 11. IlEcKwmi, Esq., Governor of the Cor poration of the Court of Guardians of the City of PRICE oil. Norwich, then monad the following vote of thanks the Chairman:— " That the thanks of this meeting are pre-eminently due to the Chairm el for his kioduess in taking the chair, and his marked d attentioa to the important bus:- ness of the meeting. And otiscrved that one advantage that would attend the railway would be the employment of a vast number of poor persons, who were at present in a state of the most abject poverty. He hal been ii6armed by several ma nufacturers, that the falling off in the staple trade of Norwich was mainly owing to the defect of communica tion between Norwich and the metropolis, as compared with the facility of comteunication between London and the northern counties. It was of vital importance to Norwich that the railway should be cempleted as soon as possible, and it would prove a great benefit not merely to commerce, but to agriculture. It. LLOYD, Esq., seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried amidst great applause. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and observed that he had felt great pleasure in attending the meeting. As one of the representatives of the county, he considered it to be his bounden duty to do all he could to benefit it, and he thought he could not benefit it more than by assisting in the accomplishment of that great measure they had met to carry out.—(Hear, hear.) He thought he might now coegratulate the county on the fair pros pect of attaining that desirable object, and the county of Norfolk would no longer be time only county that was not blessed with the advantage of a railway commu nication. Great unsuimity had prevailed at that meet ing, and he hoped it was an earnest of the union and good feeling that would exist throughout. Ft' they made a strong pull they must succeed, and it was his opinion, after due consideration, that Mr. Rastrick's line was the one that ought to be adopted, going as it did near Cambridge.—( Hear, hear.) No agricultural county could possibly raise money enough for the purposes of a line of this nature, and there fore they must of course look to London and other places for the principal part of their funds. There was, however, only one way of inducing the monied interest to render assistance, and that was by taking shares themselves. Let every gentleman who wished to see a reilroad to Norwich and Yarmouth established, just calculate upon the advantage he himself would derive from it, say fairly what he would give to see it accomplished, and then put down his name for that amount of shares.—(llear, hear.) They would then very soon derive assistance from capita ists.—( Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he begged again to return his sincere thanks for the honour they had done him, and would be happy to meet any gentlemen who could con veniently attend the meeting to be held next Thursday in Norfolk. In pursuance of the above resolutions a Company was immediately formed, and shares to a largo amount taken in the room. L. E. L. TO THE EDITOR OF TIE: SUN. Siß—ln all the London papers of the 25th instant there appeared a report of sonic proceedings at the Lambeth street police-office the day before, in the course of which Mrs. Bailey (erroneously called by :tic reporter Moroner) made some extraordinary statements respecting the con duct of individuals said to have called upon her fur the pur pose of extracting information respecting the death of the late Mrs. L. E. Maclean, and of obtaining from her cer tain important docium2nts which Mrs. Bailey hinted she had in her possession. I had previously heard the same tale from Mrs. Bailey herself, and, as the only friend of Mr. Maclean at the mo ment in town, I was engaged when the above report ap peared in the papers in examining the statement with the care required by the woman's position and past conduct. I was aware that sho;„had been closely questioned on her re turn home thirteen months ago as to her knowledge of the circumstances attending Mrs. Maelean's death, by the rela tives of both Mr. and Mrs. Maclean, and that she had been also rather eagerly canvassed by some other parties who have wished, I will not venture to conjectuse from what motives, to misrepresent the causes of that lamented event. I also knew that nothing had been elicited from her by the friends or enemies of either party to give the slightest colour to the calumnies put forth on the subject. I felt surprised, therefore, on being told by Mrs. Bailey that re newed inquiries had been made of her, under circumstances so extraordinary, by persons refusing to give their names, and still more surprised at some of the improbable details of her story. Finding, however, that she had brought the matter under the notice of the police, I determined on hav ing the statement thoroughly investigated, and for that purpose applied to the Commissioners for their assistance in the matter. Colonel Rowan very promptly and po litely appointed Inspector Hughes, of the A division, to conduct the inquiry, a full report of which is in the hands of the Commissioners. I merely enclose the result—an admission on the part 0/' Mrs. :Bailey of the entire false hood of her statement : _ _ . " I hereby declare that the statement which I made to Mr. Norton at the Lambeth-street Police-office, no Thursday last, to the effect that I had been visited by different persons, some of them apparently of distinction, coming in their carriage, and requiring me to give up do cuments which I alleged to have in my possession in re ference to the death of Mrs. Mclean, is entirely un founded ; that I have no such documents or papers of im portance, but merely the statements of %%hat took place when I arrived. I very sincerely regret having been led by the public excitement on this subject to invent these stories. It is true that I embarked with Mrs. Maclean as her personal servant at Portsmouth, and attended her in that capacity up to the time of her death at Cape Coast Castle; but I hereby solemnly declare that 1 never saw or heard of anything to justify the calumnies which have been circulated against her husband on the subject of her death. I neither saw nor beard of any ill treatment, nor do I believe Mr. Maclean capable of any of those things which I have heard laid to his charge by public rumour. Ellen Emily Miley's mark, E. B. " Witnessed the above initials signed by Mrs. Bailey, (Signed) " SAMUEL. HUGHES, " Inspector A division. " December 31, 1840." . _ . It is singular that the first of the calumnious fables founded on the death of Mrs. Maclean susceptible of ac curate examination should have terminated in so speedy and complete an exposure of the author. Would that the cowardly insinuators who have so deeply wounded the feel ings of the unfortunate husband had reduced their stories, even in any one instance, to a form sufficiently tangible to admit of similar analysi.!, anti refutation ! I am sorry to add that I have reason to believe that the extraordinary fabrications of Mrs. I3ailey arc not the last links which remain to be broken of the chain of falsehood by which it has been sought to enthral the character of my friend, for the sake of pandering to the public appe tite for scandal. But his absence from this country, added to the indefinite nature of the charges against him, have hitherto afforded impunity to his libellers, which it may not be safe for them always to rely upon. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, M. FORSTER. New City Chambers, December 31. BOOK SUPPLIES FOR THE NEW YEAR.— The commencement of the new year offers to Families, Reading Societies, and Book Cluba, a favourable oppor tunity for making their arrangements to be supplied regu larly with all the valuable and interesting New Publica tion, Magazines, and Reviews for lacrwer; and to assist them in this object, Mr. Bull, the Librarian, has just published his " New Library System and Circular for Ja nuary," which can now be had gratis, and postage free throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland.

WINTER AMUSEMENTS IN CHINA.— The amusements of the Emperor of China's Court on the ice, during the severe winters of Pekin, arc thus given by Van Bream, who was one of the Dutch mission which pro ceeded from Canton soon after Lord Macartney's embassy : The Emperor made his appearance on a sort of sledge, supported by the figures of four dragons. This machine was moved about by several mandarins, some dragging be fore, and others pushing behind. The four principal Mi nisters of State were also drawn upon the ice, in their sledges, by inferior mandarins. Whole troop of civil and military officers soon appeared, sonic on sledges, some on skates, and others playing at football on the ice ; and he that kicked up the ball was rewarded by the Emperor. The ball was then hung up in a kind of arch, and several mandarins shot at it, in passing on skated, with their bows and arrows. Their skates were cut off *. short under the, heel, and the fore part was turned up at right angles." These diversions are mare in the spirit of the Tartars than of the Chinese, whose original habits were mo re effeminate and quiet.

We have much satisfaction in calling public at tention to the advertisement in this day's paper,' announc ing the intention of the Commercial Company to afford the public great and increased accommodation for mer chandise and passengers to a large portion of the west of ort E s. We know the ngla Company that a daily communication shall be made be tween Southampton and the Channel islands, as well as know ithanne is the deter m i na ti on o f this spi r ited between that 'yin and Havre, as soon as the season ad vances a little and the wants of the public require it—we observe that a communication is already announced twice a week, namely, Wednesday and Saturd ly, from South ampton to Guernsey and Jersey, which must prove of vast importance to those island..!, as likewise a communi cation weekly to and from Havre do Grace, which will be increased, as we have before noticed, to a daily one very early in the aping. The advantage to the proprietors of the South-Western 11.1ilway by these arrangements will be incaleulable-- wethe convenience to the public as to the me rchant must be equally so; and sincerely hope that the Commercial Company will likewise reap the full be nefit of the services they have rendered to the community generally by so judicious a disposal of some of their finest steam-ships. The inhabitants of Southampton ought likewise to remember that they arc indebted to the same Company for bringing their town first to public notice by selecting its port for the Peninsular station during the whole period that they held it,and thus pohving ouL its great advantages, which were before the time they adopted it so little known or considered. --Morning Paper. '~'~.+~\ . 6.1:7c,.., EVENIN G ED ITION. WOOLWICH-FRIDAY. THE ARMY. About ten o'clock - yesterday murnitik, the streets of Greenwich presented the singular spectacle of upwards of 250 men, one or two from each of the line regiments, from the let Royals to the 99th inclusive, with the exception of the Highland regiments and the Rifles, and one or two others. The singularity consisted in their various-coloured facings and numb:irs, each biting attired in the costume of the regiment to which be belonged. They appear to be all young men who have volunteered to join the regiments about to proceed to the East Indies, and were on their way to Chatham fur that purpose. They only left Ireland, where the depots Li which they were attached are stationed, on Tuesday, and were conveyed by steam to Euston-square, in the incredible short space of time of less than two days'. They appear in excellent health and spirits at the idea of their intended journey to a foreign land. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Fairy surveying vessel has now been given up as lost, At twelve o'clock yesterday the portion of the clew, consistirqe of Lieutenant Cudlip and nine men, who hap pened to be on board the Violet, tender to thalate unfor tunate ve;sel, ettendcd at the Pay-office, in her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, when the crew received the amount due to them to the 31st December. It is now considered certain th at t h e F a i ry went d own d ur i ng t h e l ate ga l es , with Captain Hewett and forty-one hands on board, and all perished, leaving 'mile to tell how the circumstance took place.

The Lords of the Admiralty, sympathizing with these unfortunate widows, of whom there are upwards of thirty, and 101 fatherless children, orrkred that the pay should be calculated to tha 31st December. It is gratifying to know that Captain Phipps Hornby, the superintendent of the dockyard, has come forward in the most praiseworthy manner and originated a subsxrip tion for the relief of the widows, many of whom must suffer great privations from the sudden loss of their hug bands and means of support, and there can be no doubt a generous public will cordially second him in the task of affording some degree of consolation to those who have lost their natural protectors, who were employed in the public service for the benefit of the country, and whose labours may be the means of saving the lives of thousands of our maritime countrymen. The Salamander steam frigate, Commander Hastings Reginald Henry, arrived at Sheerness on Monday. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander J. M. Waugh, left Sheerness on Tues7claw, with WWll tears for her Majesty's vessels at Portsmouth and Plymouth. The Avon steam vessel, Lieutenant Commander R. L). Pritchard, arrived at Chatham on Monday from Ports . - mouta, with invalid soldiers, and returned on Tuesday ter the latter station. The Fahm - mtli, Second Master Everson, arrived at Wrool,,ich yesterday from Plymouth. The Goodwill sailed yesterday fcr Portsmouth. The Boxer, steam-vessel, Captain Bulk:eh, had a por tion of her wages due to her crew paid yesterday. The balance will be paid on the'r return from leave of absence. Tne Pluto, steam-vessel, Lieutenant W. S. Blount, will be ready for sea in a few days. The Prince Rgent, transport ship, sailed yesterday from Deptford, the 79th Regiment on board, for Gibraltar. She was towed down the river by a steam vessel, and passed the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, at about three o'clock, P.M. The Lizard.—Mr. William Stanley, Clerk in Charge, has been promoted to be Purser. ROYAL ARSENAL. The Little Ben, after being detained three days, owing to the quantity of ice. on the river, sailed to-day, with the detachment of the Royal Artillery, for Purfleet. The Sir James Kempt, Ordnance sloop, arrived yester day from Pertsrnoutk, with a cargo of large guns and other stores. The Mary, schooner, arrived to-day with 1,800 ten inch and eight inch shAs. The Vigilant, schooner, arrived about the same time, with GO tons of shells of various sizes. The Fanny, brig, arrived to-day with a full cargo of 32 pounder shot, from Messrs Graham and Co. The William ; schooner, arrived with a cargo of 12 and 18 pounder shot, from the same contractor, nearly Ett tho same time. A number of arrvals are expected to-morrow, consist ing of vessels loaded with military stores, affording proofs that the supply will bo well liept up in the Royal Ar senal, in caso the country may be called upon to forward them to various parts of her Majesty's dominions for their protection, or for actual service in other quarters of the world. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING.) TI M E S.—lt is obvious, from the remarks made in the City on the proposed New French Loan, as described in the Paris papers, that very little indeed of English capi. tal is likely to be attracted towards it. So much is the case otherwise, that those who had invested their money, under a different state of things in the public securities of France arc losing confidence, and withdrawing their capi tal. This has been in operation now during some months, and there probably has not been any period since the nego tiation of the great French Loan by Messrs. Baring, in 1818, after the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, in which so small an amount of English cepital has been inscribed in the " Great Book" of the French debt. Leaving this dis trust out of the question, there have been so many new, channels opened for the employment of money at home, that all foreign loans will labour, for some time to conic, under peculiar discouragement. The amount of Trinity bonds to be brought into circu. lation is now stated not to exceed .100,0001., and the greater part of them, if not the whole, are said to have been taken. The lenders on them have the option of any term, not less than one, nor more than seven years, and the bonds will be redeemable on six months' notice being given, after the period fleet agreed upon has expired. They tear interest at 4. per cent., payable half-yearly, by coupons attached to the bonds, and have the convenience of being made pay. able either to bearer, or specially, as may be desired. This would make them occasionally useful as remittances • abroad, but the limited amount will make them compara tively of little importance, and no influence on /he general money-market is to be anticipated from them. Money was inquired for a good deal to-day by the job bers, and the rate obtained in the English market was 5 per cent. ; in consequence of this, the value cf Exchequer bills Advanced to 4s. to 69. premium ; and in the opinion of tie) leading brokers, there is no probability of a decrease eithetin demand or rate till after the payment of the Ja nuary-dividends, which takes place on the 8:11 instant. In Consols very fey: bargains were made, but the price was firmer at the close of business than previously. The earlier price was 88 to but left off • to i; Three per Cents. Reduced were quoted 89 : the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Reduced 97:k to i; Long Annuities (ex piring the sth of January, 1860), 13 ; Long Annuities (expiring the 10th of October, 1859), 12 1 ,-; and Bank Stock, 157 to 158. Although the business done in the foreign stocks was not of any large amount, the greater share was devoted to speculation in Spanish, but not with the advance of either yesterday or the day before. On the contrary, the market for that security has shown symptoms of unsteadiness once or twice during the day, and the principle of fluctuation was evidently downwards. The patience of the military and naval claimants on Portugal seems to be nearly exhausted, and they complain bitterly of the long time that has elapsed since the appoint• ment of the Commission, without the slightest appearance of any thing being done for their benefit. Four .months act) it was said that Lord Palmerston had a private inter view with the eflicers of the Committee, and then told them that the Commission would sit immediately, and it seems that the Portuguese Commissioner when applied to says he is only waiting for the English Commissioner, Mr. Alcock. As it is generally believed that the Com missioners arc in the full receipt of their salary, this de lay, without any definite cause being alleged, becomes more and more wearisome. Many of the soldiers being in the most wretched state of poverty, feel that the incle mencies of the present season should give en additional stimulus to activity on the part of the Ccmmissioners. CHRONICL E.—The expo:6 of the French Minister . of Finance, announcing that he should require authority to negotiate a loan of 450,000,000 f. (18.000,0001.), pro duced a temporary flatness in the funds this morning ; bet when it was understood that there were large means at present in the Treasury, that the period for issuing the loan was not fixed, and might be remote, prices rallied., placed The statement of M. Humann has removed the fears of an immediate issue of a loan, and as many people perhaps without reason) that he makes the rasa quite as bad as circumstances justify, it is not impossible__ thatn, he think . (not may ultimately find a creation of renles for a e b 11 s a ffi nd a ened li°6llt will suffice. If the paix urntce shouldibe a „unt ' and c . ry the military and naval strength of t ' is clear that the cause t. bli I neilt it upon a peace es a sn • , ry for the items of the extreordinary Bud g et in respect of war and marine will cea s3 to exist lo n g before 1842 • and as there is good reason to expect that F rance wil l but look speedily disarm, we cannot -upon th e array o f figures brought forward by marshalled to pr oduce a certain effect upon the economi cal dispositions of his ecuntrymen. M. Ilumann states, we perceive, th at t h e revenue, i n i s pite of its prog ressive i mprovement, no longer suffices for the ordinary expenses of the State, and elks for au thority to inscribe on the great book of the public debt, and to ne gotiate with publicity and competition, the sum of renter necessary to bring to the treasury, as the result o f t he operation, a capital of 450,000,000 francs, which, h e says, will be actually " absorbed by the works for which they arc . teqiured ;" but then he adds, " the realization v a 0. loan will not be immediate, and that there is a reserve in the treasury of 120,000,000 francs, (4,600,000/.); therefore he had not demanded any credit kr tile service of mites to be negotiated, and only claimed the faculty of creating them by loyal erdonnance, if ne ceszary, without waiting for further legislative sanction. For the present, M. Hamann will be able to conduct the public business with the 120,000,000 of francs reserve, and a credit for 250,000,000 francs of Treasury bonds (10,000 ; 0000, waiting until the confirmation of pease shall enable him to complete the loin, when the funds havo risen to thci: hte.p.e- value. There is an unusual degree of 27 aivele in this last explanation o f the Finance Minister of France ; au exposure o f what he means to do on the Money (Valet, -which would he looked upon amongst pub lic nice in this country as evincing a want of the neces sary official mystery. Certainly it is not the best way to pr oduce a rise in the rentts to inform the public that, so soon as they reach a fair pi ice, there is a loan to a large amount to be brought forward, if he really be serious in his declared purpose of raising one. AI . humane might have remained satisfied with the au- ' thority, by Royal or2.onnance, to create the rentos, and kept the public in the dark as to his future intentions. This declaration of the Finance Minister leads to an in fereeee that, oven if peace be confirmed, which no one doubts, a lota will be required; for M. Humann says, in
