The German Opera season commenced at this theatre yesterday evening. lierr Schumatm en couraged by the success of last' season, has left the Prince's Theatre and taken Drury-lane, so that he will no longer be prevented from giving the fullest effect to the most splendid produc tions of the German operatic school, many of which he found it hitherto absolutely impossible to produce in consequence, of want _of space. The opera chosen for the opening last evening wasi Weber's masterpiece, Der Freischatz. Madame Stoeckel Ilcinefetter was the Agatha, a character in which she won " golden opinions" last season. This lady is one of the most finished artistes that we ever heard, critically correct in ~r,:: H ANK OF AUSTRALASIA. Incorporated by Royal Charter. 2, Moorgate-street, March 13, 1841.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. • her singing, never attempting more than the composer has set down for her—(would that other artistes, English and foreign, would, in this point particularly, follow her example)— exact in her observance of tone and time, she throws a pathos and an energy into her singing which produce an effect the more intense from being without effect, and which contrasts strongly with those tours de ,force in which some other artistes indulge, and which, while they create astonishment, but too frequently shock good taste. Her grand scena in the second act was perfect. It was the triumph of correct taste and sound judgment. Hen. Haitzinger of whom the frpiuenters 4, o #e GermatrUpAr c iirlast selarih 'hill retain favourable impression, impression, was Max, the Rudolph of the English translation ; and Caspar found an able representative in Herr Sesselman. This gentleman, who is from the Court Theatre of esse Darmstadt, made his first appearance be fore an English audience last night. He possesses a fine, clear, powerful bass voice, and, like all Germans, is a thorough musician. He gave the drinking song in excellent style, and was loudly applauded. The great feature, however, of the German Opera is the chorus, which is ad mirably directed by Herr Baerwolt. Those who have never heard a chorus of Germans can form no idea of the oneness, if the term is al lowable, of the effect produced. It is as if the sounds and modulations proceeded from one mighty organization, at the will, and under the control, of one mind. We have heard well drilled choruses in England, in France, and in Italy, but never have we heard any which can at all approach a German chorus. The audience last night seemed quite electrified by the Jager chorus, which was twice encored. We have often and often heard i t with &light, but never until last evening did we fully appreciate the beauties of that noble composition. We cannot close this notice without paying a tribute to the exquisitely na tural acting of Madame Schumann, in the little character of Annchen. The part did not afford her any great opportunity of exhibiting her ocal powers, but she made the most of that which was afforded her, and in the duett with Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter, at the opening of the second act, she was warmly and most de servedly applauded. After the opera "God Save the Queen" was sung by the whole com pany. Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter and Haitzinger taking the solo parts. The orchestra, which was complete in all its parts, was excel lently directed by Herr Ganz. Mr. Bunn, we perceive, still continues his services as stage manager. Amongst the engagements we are glad to see the names of Madame Schroeder Dev rient, Staudigl, Marschner, and Meyerbeer, the composer of Robert le Diable and Les Huguenots. This promises well. The house was crowded last evening, and there is every prospect of the present being even a more successful season for the Germans than the last. (From the Times.) Rumours which reached us during the course of last week had prepared us for the probable result of the Bishop of Exe ter's motion. Lord Bathurst's incorporation of the trustees of the Seminary of Nicolet in IE2I appeared to the Duke of Wel lington to constitute a precedent for Lord Sydenham's incor poration of the ecclesiastics of the Seminary of St. Sulpice in 1841 ; the discovery of a precedent had the effect of setting all questions of principle at rest ; and the Bishop, deserted by those whose encouragement had urged him on to call upon the Peers of Great Britain to interfere in•the case, was compelled, by withdrawing his motion, to save himself from the mortifica tion of seeing it rejected. We must say, that upon this occa sion the Conservator leaders in the House of Lords do not seem to us to have made a very creditable figure. We refer not so much to the failure of the Duke of Wellington's memory as to transac tions in which he was officially engaged at solate a period as 1835. What strikes us as the painful feature in the case is, that a question.whieh on ,Thuritialf the 4th inst., was warmly taken up on grounds of principle, should have been aband ,ned on Monday, the 15th, for the sake of mere party considerations. 'l'he Right Rev. Mover proceeded from the first cautiously in this matter, and gave no notice et any motion upon the sub ject till he had sounded the House, and received from the most influential quarter the strongest assurances of support. What was the tone of the Duke of Wellington on the 4th inst.? He expressed his gratitude to the Bishop for bringing the matter forward ; he spoke of Lord Sydenham's ordinance with indig nation, as an attempt to break in upon " the Protestant Con stitution of this country," as an unprecedented departure from the " principles of the Reformation." The Bishop of Exeter was emboldened (as who would not have been ?) by these and other strong expressions of the illustrious Duke, to submit a do finite proposition on the subject, and we now see the result. The , Duke has been convinced in the interval, not that the ordinance which moved his ind gnation on Fridayweek is reconcileable with "the Protestant constitution of the country," but only that it it is not unprecedented; that the example of a similar "departure from the principles of the Reformation" was ori ginally set by a Tory Government, and thereupon all his indig nation vanishes. Conduct, which would have been unconsti tutional and illegal, if the Whigs had been the first to adopt it, appears in a different light when sanctified by the associa tions of Toryism. Nor is this the only weak point in the Duke's speech of yesterday. We should have expected from a statesman of his experience and sagacity a greater knowledge of constitutional law than was shown in his determination to regard the charter of the trustees of Nicolet as a precedent for Lord Sydenham's incorporation of the seminary of St. Sulpiee. " The ordinance," he said, " established the corpo ration of St. Sulpice almost in the same words as the patent establishing St. Nicolet, which was as much an ecclesiastical corporation as the other, being composed v entirely of R oman Catholic ecclesiastics and n one other. Now this is purely alegal question, and Lord Lyndhurst, or any other lawyer in the House, could have told his Grace, that a corporation com posed entirely of Church of England ecclesiastics, for Church of England objects, is not therefore an ecclesiastical corpora tion. The trustees of Nicolet, in short, are as much a lay corporation as the rord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the City of London. But the ecclesiastics of St. Sulpice, are by Lord Sydenham's ordinance, expressly and in terms erected into " an ecclesiastical or spiritual corporation, com munaute ecciesiastigue." The Duke of Wellington has evi dently no idea of the importance of this distinction, which, nevertheless, is a most real one, and involves the whole ques tion whether the Roman Catholic is henceforth to be recog nized in Canada as the State religion or not; we shall rather say, as one of the State religions ; for among other peculiari ties of this unhappy ordinance, it is the first overt act by which the British Government has sanctioned the establishment of two State religions in one colony and at the same time. The Duke of Wellington seems to be alive to the very serious defects of the ordinance upon the score of legality, arising from its conflict with the recent acts of Parliament relating to the government of Canada ; but strangely enough, he treated these defects as ad ditional reasons for urging the Bishop of Exeter to withdraw his motion. We cannot sufficiently express our regret that a question involving so many important points of law should have come on for discussion during the absence of the Learned Judges on the Circuit. If ever there was an instance in which the House of Lords had occasion for solemn consultation with those grave authorities, it was assuredl this. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The Times continues its attacks upon Lord Ponsonby, upon the assumption that all the harshness to be found in the hatti scheriff was suggested by the personal enmity of our Am bassador. Nothing can be more groundless, either than the assumption or the inference drawn from it. In the first place, that which is denounced sts' extreme rigour in the firman is so denounced upon a misapprehension of its real object. We yesterday quoted the at gument of a French paper, an organ of the Thiers party, which contends for the un conditional hereditary tenure, upon the ground that such' a tenure means sovereignty, and that conditions are inconsistent with sovereignty. The argument is perfectly just. Now, what has been from the begin ning the object of the policy of the Allies? Was it not to prevent the establishment of a " sovereignty?" If, then, the Pachalie be unconditionally ceded en heredite, is not the abject defeated which the Times itself has been supporting for the last twelve months? We repeat what we stated before, that it is to this article alone that Mehemet Ali decidedly objects; and the chief ground of his objection we understand to be, that he fears it is directed against the succession of Ibrahim Pacha. So far, however, from this apprehension being well-grounded, we have it in our power to state, that with the hatti scheriff there came an amicable communication, assuring the Pacha that, from considerations which can be easily appreciated, the Sultan would dispense with the personal attendance either of Mehemet or of Ibra him, should he outlive him, at Constantinople, in order to be invested with the Pachalic. So that the succession of Ibrahim is already indirectly guaranteed. Nor do we enter tain the slightest doubt that the intention of the Sultan—which is only to reserve to himself the appointment in case of the in fancy or incapacity of the legitimate successor—will be ren dered sufficiently distinct to appease all the apprehensions of the Pacha. He has, in fact, already accepted the hatti scheriff, and only prays a modification of some articles, which it is not at all likely will be refused. It is a mere chimera of the Times to suppose that any misunderstanding is likely to result upon this affair amongst the European Powers. To this objection a very little time will give the most satisfactory reply that can be offered. SHIPS for NEW ZEALAND WANTED.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. lIE R ALD.--The Bank broker was again in the market to day, but :ingula!ly enough his sales were limited to the usual amount of 30,0001. stock, as before for account of the Savings Banks. The continuance of these sales would seem to betoken a " tightnesss" of money somewhere about the Treasury equal to what has prevailed in the City, whilst the smallness of the daily venture would seem to indicate a suspicion that the mar ket is in too unsettled a state to bear any large pressure of stock upon it. The closing prices of the funds to-day show less firmness, which to some extent may be ascribable to the aprre hensions entertained of the news which may be brought by the Columbia steamer of the Halifax and Boston line now due, and her arrival fully expected this morning. It may be ob served, howeve-, that, as she haves Boston on the Ist of this month, her dates from New York can hardly be later than the 28th ult., or from Washington than the 27th, consequently, as it was not anticipated that the present Congress, whose func tions with those (S President Van Buren, expire en the 3d inst., would take any further action than what it had com mitted itself to in the printing of the firebrand report of Mr. Pickens, the chief point of interest attaching to the ar rival of the Columbia Tics in the chance of some overt de monstration:on the part of the State of Maine for the purpose of currying out the resolutions so vigorously adopted, if it can, for driving the British from the occupation of the terri tory in dispute. It may be hoped however that the Columbia will be enab!ed to bring intelligence of the arrival out of the President steamer to New York which left here the 10th of last month, and was the bearer, as understood, of important despatches for the British Minister at Washington in reference to the ense of Mr. M.Leod, the event of which would he decisive of his further stay in that capital and in fact perhaps of the question of peace or war. As the President would be the first steam-vessel subsequently from the other side, and would leave New York on the 10th instant, the intel igence of the installation of President Harrison and the new Congress on the 4th instant, with the usual message indicative enxhiecatvyy aboutand Consols th n e sol n s e d w e s pr front the perhaps of the future pol ic y to be followed, cannot in fact be expected before her arri val here, about the 2,5 th inst.

SIX LESSONS ON SHORT-HAND By P. B. TEMPLETON, Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times." W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster-row, London Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham street, Manchester; and may be had of all Booksellers. By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices -- " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system of short-hand I could obtain access to—having . myself a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it apps era to me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and order of your lessons I think a more rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not only of your particular system, but of the principles of , the Ert generally, by your book than by any oth er I have seen.—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. " The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons are such as we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better 1 adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be de sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier... " From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct the learner, it is one of the best works on short-hand s.iat a student can possibly lay hold of; and, viewing it in comparison with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a com petitor."—Manchester Times. " We have looked through this treatise with much satisfac tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten tion of all intending students of the art, as the most complete, sensible; andpracticable system ever brought under our notice." —Manchester and Salford Advertiser. " The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex cellent, and the instructions are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous language. We have no hesitation in saying that the :earner needs no other instructor than this little work to enable him to acquire the art, and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. 4 4 We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject that has yet been published."—Post Magazine. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his sy stem." —Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teaching of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of Mr. Templeton's capabilities, as well es from a careful perusal of his work, we have formed every high opinion of its merits.' —Leeds Intelligencer. 44 Among the best works on this branch of science is one lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who has been a long time connected with the English press, and who is as skillet in the practiCe as in the theory of short-hand writing."—Dublin Pilot. " The exercises given only require a little attention to be understood; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of short-hand to be able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening Packet. " We have read this little book with great care and attention, and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever read on the science of short-hand. It is the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down by the author as proper to he done that he has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had some fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. " Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with the Press, will learn the six lessons by Mr. Templeton, and persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at oneetheir money and their time—will deal with the advertising quaCks who profess to make men accomplished stenographists in a few days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no such thing. He gives six good lessons in short hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with south) advice, that requires only to be followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. " After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work on the subject we ever happened to meet. "—Bolton Free Press. " The student will find this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the argil trarles, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing, while the rul-n and exercises are so plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald. " 'To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we woul.t point cut this cheap little work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to realize most of the great and important advantages connected with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has h a d many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his own private purpose and for the benefit of the public in connection with the newspaper press in some cf the largest towns in this country."—Yorkshireman . Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty other periodicals might be quoted, all of which speak equally in favour cf the merits of this little work. - A very extensive emigration is now taking place tl New York. Yesterday the packet-ship Sheridan sailed with upwards of 350 passengers oa board ; and a ship is now in the river with nearly 250. Notwithstanding the numbers on board) the accommodation is ample,—Liver , pool Albion. BLACKWALL RAILWAY. FAST BOATS TO GRAVESEND.

A most successful season closed at this theatre last night. After the performances of the even ing Mr. Webster, the lessee, came forward and delivered the following address which was re ceived with warm applause : " Ladies and Gentlemen—Each succeeding season seems to bring with an incre ,se of your patronage, and I hare so often had to gratefully thank you, that I am really at a loss to find words sufficiently varied and forcibly to express of feelings on the present occasion—indeed, words can never iittficiently or/ press the deep debt of gratitude I owe you ; but I will endea vour, by unwearied exertion, and a free use of the means you have placed within my power, to deserve the liberality you have hitherto extended to my efforts in catering for your amusement. Ladies and Gentlemen, with to-night, this theatre will have been open, continually and prosperously with the legitimate drama only, a twelvemonth and a day, and in that time up wards of three hundred nights' salary have been paid to every individual regularly engaged on this establishment—a circum stance unprecedented in theatrical history, and proving that those who rail at the want of support to the highest ()icier of dramatic writing abuse the public taste most unjustly ; for, to judge of the future by the past, I could, I verily believe, be open from year's end to year's end during the remainder of my term with considerable profit to myself, and, I am presuming enough to hope, with some gratification to you. The extension kindly granted to this theatre by the Lord Chamberlain has been a boon to both the actors and manager, for they have lost no time, and I have been enabled to run Sir E. L. Bulwer's comedy of Money for eighty consecutive nights. The close of this theatre is compulsory to re-decorate, repair, and thoroughly cleanse it, which shall be done with a studious regard to the comfort and accommodation of the numerous visitors [who honour us with their presence. The re-opening will be on Easter Monday, with Mr. Power, who, I am happy to inform you, has entirely recovered his health, Mr. Buckstone, and Madame Celeste, in addition to the many eminent artists form ing the company of this season now terminated. Mr. Charles Kean will also appear for a limited number of nights in May next; and the whole talent engaged will, I trust, be worthily brought into play by the first dramatists of the day ; among whom I may mention, as already actively at work, Mr. Poole, Mr. Jerrold, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. Sheridan Knowles. Again heartily and sincerely thanking you, Ladies and Gentle men, I most respectfully, in the name of the performers and myself, until the 12th of April next, bid you farewell." PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. Last night the second concert of the season took place, and presented features of attraction, which give promise of brilliant success. Considering the great power of this orchestra, loud complaints have been reiterated that the concerts presented nothing worthy of its high bearing in the musical world—that the programmes of the evening were a continued routine, and although we readily admit that many of the majestic sym phonies of Beethoven are ever fresh, and ever new, still a de pendence on these paid Haydn's, and Mozart's, betokens a lazy way of performing the distinguished duties which devolve upon the directors of this celebrated concert. It has often been remarked how very inferior the vocal music at the Philharmonic is ! But it must not be forgotten that the sublime effects which.the orchestra produces in the highest order of symphonies usually performed there, places the singer under a most disadvantageous comparison. 'There are not many vocal compositions that can stand the test, and there are still fewer vocalists who dare to risk their fame and reputation by venturing on the highest order of vocal composi tion. These are circumstances operating to the disadrare age of the Philharmonic, but seldom or ever noticed in extenuation of any failure ; in the whole concerts, however unexception able, many portions of each may have been. The concert of last night was an exception to the old rou tine, and we hail it as the precursor of a great revival of this Society. The orchestra consisted of about 150 performers, including a well trained choral band, collected together at an expense of nearly three hundred guineas. Great efforts must have been put forth to secure the magui ficant result of the evening, for which the Directors deserve not only the thanks of the subscribers but of the musical world in general ; and we trust that the public—who seldom overlook exertions made to deserve their patronage—will so encourage the Philharmonic as to enable the Society to continue the whole series of concerts upon the magnificent scale of last night. Mr. Loder led, and Mr. Lucas conducted. The following is the programme:— ACT 1. Sinfonia in F—Ries. Second Finale (Oberon)—C. M. Von Weber. Concerto, Violin, Mr. B!agrove—Kreutzer.

" Lobgesang " a Hymn of Praise (first time of performance in London)—F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The novelties of the evening were Mendelsshon's Hymn of Praise, Berlioz overture, and Ries' Symphony. The Symphony was executed in a manner which set at de fiance all comparison in this country. The veteran Lindley enchanted the audience with the fine compositions allotted to him. The finale to Oberon followed, and left a . melancholy impression on our mind, of the cold and withering neglect which its great author experienced in his latter days. The Concerto of Kreuzer was most beautifully played by Mr. Blaygrove. If a little more soul, and energy could be in fused into this most talented young artist, he would be the most distinguished violinist of the present time. The performance concluded with the scena from Oberon i n which Miss Rainforth who had been unable to attend in time displayed great skill and power. The overture of Berlioz will excite a great variety of criti cism ; but nevertheless the Directors deserve great credit for introducing his writings to an English public. The " Lobgesang," though a little lengthy in the symphony portions, is a superb composition. There are gems in it which must soon make it familiar in every musical family, among which we would particularize the solo , Miss Rai nforth and chorus, " Praise the Lord, 0 my soul ; all that is in me praise his holy name. Do not forget all his benefits." And the charming duet, Miss Rainforth and Miss Williams, and chorus, " I waited for the Lord • he inclined unto me ; he heard my complaint.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the hearing of the opposed applications to the City Magistrates for licenses, the Court at the Guildhall was crowded by many anxious visitors. In Portsoken Ward, William Lake applied for a license for his house, No. 73, in the Minories. Deputy TY ARS (of the Ward of Portsoken), assured ti e Court that there was no occasion for anv new hotte, as the neighbourhood swarmed with public-hotbies, there Icing no fewer than 21 of them within a very limited cora -1 ass, and actually starving each other out. License refuse.' without hesitation. Mr. PAY NR, the barrister, applied for a license for George Malkin, of No. 3, Noble•strect, Aldersgate Within. The petition in favour of the license was signed by 82 persons, 3/ of them were connected with the Post office, and the license was only opposed by one individual, and he was a publican.—License refused. Mr. CLARKSON applied for a license for John Neigh bour, of No. s(>, Cannon-street. The applicant's peti tion stated that his house was an eating-house, at which on the average 130 persons dined daily, and that a great many of them were very . reluetant to leave it after dinner without partaking of wine or spirits. The recommenda tion was signed by 75 persons, and stated that the house should not be converted Into a gin shop.—License refused. Mr. CLARKSON applied for a license for Samuel Moline, of No. 11, Ironmonger-lane. Mr. LAURIE opposed the application. He considered that necessity was the only ground of application, .and there existed no necessity for additional nuisances in that neighbourhood, in which there were already thirteen all closely packed together.—License refused. Mr. PAYNE applied for a license for Francis Jones, of No. 11, Poultry. and No. 36, Bucklersbury, called the Albion I- Ltd. If atuot appear to the Court that the ownership was satisfactorily proved, and Mr. Payne with drew the application for the present. Mr. JAMES applied for a license for Eliza Ann How, of No. 52, Moorgate•.street. The house is a respecttble coffee-house.—License refused. A license was granted to John Belton for the Fountain Tavern in Redcross-street, the old houEc having beep pulled down. A license was applied for WilliamLowis for the Fling Horse, Milton-street, the old house having teen pulled down. _ _ Sir MATTHEW WOOD (the Alderman of the Ward) said that he by no means objected to re-licensing the house, but ho was sorry to say that there were many public houses is the Ward which %ere not getting a living for tho proprietors. Mr. LAURIE said that there was no petition against a license to the house in question, but he submitted that the evidence first•giren by the Alderman of the Ward ought to be conclusive. There were already too many public houses in the neighbourhood, and, therefore, it would be charitable to those houses, as well as to the owner of the Flying Horse, to refuse to allow a house, under such cir cumstances, to be re-opened. Mr. CLARKSON--Fur whom do you attend ? Mr. LAURIE—For the Licensed Victuallers of the ward( where the house is in. Mr. CLARKSON—Then let some of your clients give up their nui s ances.—(Laughter. ) Sir P. LAURIE—The Bench are of opinion that it is a fit house to be licensed.—License granted. Mr. Woolen applied for a license for Thomas Jordan, for No. 99, Holborn-hill—License refused. The Licenses, which were postponed at the General Mecting on the Bth of March, were then, after some ani maversions upon the proprietors for the violations of tFe law of which they had been guilty, and for which they had been few 1, were then renewed. A few applications were ordered to "be report rd on the apper.l day.—Adjourned. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MARCH 6.—Our papers are full of news relative to the different meetings of the States of the Kingdom. Their elements arc as different as the names and families of the members, and the interest of the several provinces as opposite as anything can be. It will, therefore, be rather difficult to reconcile them, and much will depend on the ability of the " Marshals" of the " Landtage," as the meetings of the States of the provinces are styled. The transactions of the meetings of the States are regularly published in the papers, and the State Gazette, a very dry and uninteresting paper, seems to indulge particularly in these home news. . Count Bresson, the French Ambassador, is gone to Paris, in order to vote for the fortifications. Ile is generally esteemed here, and is, as I know from personal knowledge, a very sensible and clever man. He was much in favour with the late King of Prussia, who was fond of a certain openness of character, and, as much as I know, the present ruler has imbibed this predilection. In case (as the rumour goes) Count Pontois should succeed Count Bresson, the dif ference between these two people will be sensibly felt, as the former is but a courtier, and full of the pretensions of the haute volee. The death of the Elcct.ress ti Hesse, a sister of the late King, and an excellent woman, has caused a tempo rary interruption in the Court festivals. There are now but two brothers of the late King alive—Prince Henry, who lives at Rome, and has, it seems,given up the idea of returning to 'his native guntry, and Mace *Hiram, the younger brother, who slurried Princess of Hesse Homburg, sister to the pa sent tandgrave of Hesse, and sister-in law to the late Princess Elizabeth of England. Professor Von Sehelling, the famous philosopher, is ex pected here. This is now the second professor whom we got from Bavaria. The first professor, Stahl, is a Jew, and not much liked by the students, who are averse to his doc trines of absolutism, and to the principles of the Hallerian school, which he professes.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALUS—YesTsenAY. Our report of yesterday's betting will present few changes from the quotations made on Thursday. Business was languid in all respects, and particularly on the three favourites, who were in very little request. Coronation, it is said, will be sent to Coventry for the Trial Stakes. Of the next lot of favourites, taking in those from 20 to 2r.• to 1, Ralph was most in favour, having been backed in the first instance at 25 to 1 and after wards two or three times at 1,000 to 45. Palmmon opened at 22 to 1, was-tracked -by two or three parties for small amotua, .and closed at the average of"the fortnight. 20 to l l Marshal Soult was taken for 1,000 even agst Knight of the Whistle, and found rather a powerful supporter at the odds stated below. Cameleon declined at one moment to 25 to 1, but this having been taken, he rallied, and at the finish, no one would have laid so much by a eonple of points. Galaor (Darioletta, colt) had many friends, and several tens and scores were put on Van Amburgh. osque and Paul Potter at long cads. Scott's lot was backed for 2001. at 9to 2, and for 1001. at a fraction less. The general odds at the close of a dull and unimportant afternoon stood as follows : DERBY. 4k to 1 agst Scott's lot 40 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's lot—taken 12 to 1 agst Lord Bruce's Ro=alie colt—taken 13 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's Eringo—t. and aft. offered 15 to 1 agst Mr. Rawlinson's Coronation—t. and aft. off. 20 to 1 agst Mr. Greville's Palmmon—t. and aft. off. 22 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Marshal Soult—taken 22 to 1 agst Lord Albemarle's Ralph 23 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Prince Caradoc—taken 23 to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Cameleon 33 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Sir Hans—taken 35 to 1 agst 11r.

THE HAGUE, MARCH 9. —The Questor-General of the Central Synod of the Reformed Church in the Nether lands has published a statement, in which he gives notice that the collection made in 1840 for the churches, and persons in want of assistance, produced a sum total of 32,597 florins. The Questor-General observes that this sum, compared with the amounts in preceding years, is very considerable. With the powerful assistance of his Majesty the King, and of the Provincial Assemblies, 25 communes have been able to repair their churches, and to have Divine Service performed in a proper manner.

The whole of the offices and cells wilt be heated with hot air, and the latter have brick and asphalte floors, which are built on iron gir ders, and the offices and apartments of the turnkeys, with all parts where timber is exposed, are being covered with a firo-proof cement, so should a fire break out it would be confined to the apartment in which it originated. RGMNEY MARSH, MARCH-13.—This exten sive ltsel, the most important sheep-farming district, per haps, in all England, from the beneficial effects of the late fine weather, has spread its carpet of verdant green, and the cattle and sheep, which have passed a most try ingly severe winter, with but a scanty supply of fodder, arc now, thanks to an all-bounf ful Prcvadence, much better provided fur. An early spring, of which we have a gratifying promise, would he of immense benefit to our flocks this seasoo, after the privations they have lately en dured. We have not beard that the epidemic has raged much in the Marsh among the sheep. GALLANTRY OF A FRENCH CORPORAL. — Some days since, when the Vincennes riflemen passed through Douay, on their road from Algiers to St. Omer, every one was eager to see the crosses conferred on them for the courage of which they had given such remarkable proofs in Africa, and a certain degree of surprise was felt on seeing how scan til y these rewards had been bestowed on the gallant band ; but those who have deserved the glorious recompense are to reciire it, we are informed, on their arrival at St. Omer, from the hands of the Prince Royal in person. A corporal of the re giment, a fine athletic man, wearing the red ribbon on a coat worn threadbare by hard service, attracted every eye, and his order of knighthood was required in the following valiant manner:—Corporal N. (we regret our inability to give the gallant fellow's name) was firing, with some dozen comrades, against a band of Ara bs, when suddenly the latter retreated, and' wi re followed by the Frenchmen. The corporal did not perceive the movement al it was cif& eted, and was about to rush forward to rejoin his men, when he beheld lying on the ground his lieutenant bathed in his blood. At the same moment seven Arabs rushed from a thicket to massacre the French officer, whose fall they had witnessed. The accidents of the country afforded the corporal full means to avoid the murderous band, but his honour forbade him to desert his offi cer, and he resolved to protect him or die. He consequently advanced to meet the foe, and, taking a cool aim, had the good fortune to disable two, with his bayonet he soon killed three more ; another, frightened at the sight of his dead and wounded comrades, made off ; one foe alone remained, and he resolutely caught the Frenchman round the body, and a terri ble struggle ensued near the rik of a preciie, to the bottom of which the two antagonists rolled l o cked in e ach other's arms. The combat continued there, and victory longs remained undecided, when, fortunately for I he X P3 t2 i d an angular stone was in his reach, an- t '' , blow on the head and knocked out his . brains.

In a district were the eye can hardly open without fall ing on some taken of commercial enterprize or maritime industry, it cannot be necessary to go at great length into the impolicy of laws whose object ii to prohibit foreign trade, and limit the resources of the country to what can be raised upon a restricted supply of food. Our fathers had liberty to trade, and they became rich and powerful. Their descendants are prevented by law ; can it be wondered if distress is in their counting-houses and in their families, and there is a general complaint of tie hardness of the times ? The purpose of the Corn-laws is simply to prevent the food and employment of the country from being increased by foreign trade ; in order that each of us, in our severo departmentF, may be obliged to offer mere hours of our labour for a giver quantity of corn, or accept less corn from the owners in return for a given portion of our time and toil. If we were obliged to pay hot-house prices for wine made at home, instead of bring erraitted the exercise of foreign trade as the means of [Hinging it from Oporto, the injury would be of the ,ame kind as now, only with the (IM:wiled of being transferred to a luxury instead of a Era nceest ary of existence. But the evil has gone on so brig, and such large and influential classes arc leceiviag gains from the destrue inn of our foreign trade, that nothing but tLe popular agitation of the question presents any chance of success.
