FOEIG. yen tribes on : the ban R ks of N the Tarim have made submission to the French Regent' at Algiers. justice, a bad Government to their fears. The Whigs showed how Ireland, with all its imputed turbulence, might be safely governed on the former principle, and some fondly hoped that the old system of insurrection• bills, and seditious-meetings-bills, and State prosecutions for libel, was gone for ever ; but Tory rulers have brought back Teri practices, and coercion is once more in the ascendant." _ . . The Devonport ludependent contains the following observations, in an article on the operation of the Corn laws :—" For the moment, the Corn-lawsare deservedly the leading topic, for people are day by day perishing for lack of the food they would have but for the opera tion of those laws—enactments, in our deliberate and sober judginent, as tyrannous and impious as any to be found in the blackest codes of the misrulers of mankind. Egyptian bondage was light compared with English ser vitude." Speaking of the tactics of the Puseyites, the Oxford Chronicle says :—" We mentioned last week, upon the best authority, that Dr. Pusey had declared the success of Mr. Williams to be of " MORE IMPORTANCE THAN THE APPOINTMENT OF A CABINET MINISTER ;" and it appears, from their movements, that the party generally concur in this estimate of the importance of the struggle to them : they are straining every nerve for victory, with as little scruple, as to the means, as any Committee of mere secular men anxious to carry their candidate at a borough election." The Cambrian observes :—" Hundreis are starving, thousands are thrown out of employment, and thousands are forced to accept of wages which barely keep body and soul together, and which, after all, there is reason to fear, can only be paid out- of the decreasiny capital of the masters. The literally total stagnation of the iron trade, coupled with the simultaneous extinction of their forges by the English, Scotch, and Welsh miners, must throw countless multitudes upon the poor-rates in the course of the winter." The Blackburne Gazette remarks, in an article on the present distressed state of the country—" It will end— it can only end—unless immediately arrested—in the de struction of the trade of the country, the utter demorali zation of the labouring population, and the consequent demolition of the fabric of social order."

The commerce of Trieste has been progressively in creasing up to July 15, 1840. In 1839 it amounted to 9,500,000 f., and in 1840 reached 12,000,0001., but since that period has decreased. On January 1, 1840, the dif ferent ports of Greece possessed 2,354 vessels under thirty tons, and 836 above that burthen. She reckoned 18,668 sailors in employ, and 15,891 unemployed. A gentleman atßristol, highly connected, and holding a high situation in the Custom-house, is alleged to have absconded, having committed forgeries to the amount of about 8,0001. or 9,0001. About 7,5001. of forged accept ances have been already ascertained, one or two of which it is said are held by the braneh of the Bank of England. ECCLESIASTICAL. A French Paper states on authority that the Sultan has refused to allow a Protestant Church to be erected at Jerusalem. The English Bishop, therefore, on his arri val, will be absolutely unable to present to the inhabit ants of the country a celebration of his worship. Galig nani doubts the statement. A " Chartist Clergyman" asks whether he may not, when Parliament meets, omit the prayer for the High Court of Parliament when he reads the Liturgy, as cler gymen at their option omit the offertory and prayer for the Church militant, and as he fancies David's Psalms very deficient in political allusions, why may he not in troduce a selection of Corn-law and Chartist hymns? PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS• The Coventry family have refused to surrender the ground in the Green Park, opposite Coventry House, which was to form part of the new improvements, they having it on a lease for sixty years, granted to them by George IV., at a ground-rent of thirty-six pounds. STATISTICS. The number of foreigners who have been sent out of Belgium, or As ho have been prohibited from -entering the kingdom during the first eleven months of the year 1841, amount to 1,350. NAVAL AND INTIMITAIELY. The gentlemen cadets underwent their half-) early examination, previous to the Christmas vacation, before Lord Blomfield and the officers of the Ordnance corps on Saturday last. The Master. General will, in a day or two, report the names of those entitled to commissions. MAW AND POLICE. George Haley, a middle-aged respectable man, was yes terday morning fully committed at Marlborough-street for stealing publicans' pots. He has five times before been convicted of the same offence, and had been but a short period before released upon his last committal. It is invariably observed that on approach of the in tensely cold weather, the number of charges for drun kenness at the Police Courts of the metropolis invari ably increases. No less than twenty-three cases of this description were brought to Marlborough-street Police Court yesterday morning. CO URT--PASHION.EIBLE. Sir R. Peel leaves town to-day, or to-morrow, for Dray ton Manor. The French Ambassador and suite intend to pass Christmas day at the Martinis of Lansdowne's. Colonel Peel, M.P., the Surveyor-General of the Ord nance, has taken Lord Ber Wick's house in the Stable yard, St. James's for a term of years. The house is now undergoing repairs, with a' view to its occupation early in February. Viscount and Viscountesi Palmerston left Carlton House-terrace, on Saturday last; for Broadlands. Lord and Lady John Russell have gone to Woburn Abbey, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. Lord Stanley leaves St. James's-square to-morrow, for Knowsley.

Chantrey, according to the Western Times, is placed by the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral in such a position as completely to hide its beauties from view. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The house No. 5, Craig's Court, is being fitted up for the Museum of Economic Geology, to be under the direction of Mr. Delabeche, the Government Geologist, and Mr. R. Phillips. No. 6, the adjoining house, is to be the depository of mining records. A letter from Brussels, of the 18th inst.. states that a splendid painting by Rubens has just been discovered. The subject is the battle of the Amazons, of which there is a finished sketch in the Gallery of Munich, which is well known to connoisseurs by the engravings. This newly-discovered painting is said to be one of the most highly finished and the most powerfully coloured of that great master. It is in the possession of M. La moens, a rich amateur of Antwerp. TaIIATRICAL. Monsieur Perlet, so great a favourite in London a few years since, has been engaged by Mr. Mitchell to com mence the season of Frenc plays at the St. James's Theatre. Many of Moliere's finest comedies will be, given before Easter. Plessy, Dejazet, and Bouffe, ap pear at the conclusion of M. Perlet's engagement. Private theatricals have been performed during the last week at Woburn Abbey, in which most of the distin guished guests took a part. Mr. Lumley has re-engaged the celebrated artistes of the last season at the Queen's Theatre, except Signor Tamburini, who holds out for the same terms he received under the late Mr. Laporte. Carlotta Grisi, cousin to the cantata ice, and her care sposa Perrot, will lead the ballet at least before Easter. SPORTING. Prince Albert hunted with the Royal stag-hounds on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday last. The stag on the last day, after an hour and a half's run, took refuge in the chimney corner of the kitchen at the Rose and Crown, about a mile and a half from Sandhurst College. Lady Gardner's coursing establishment at Kinmel has been broken up in consequence of the late calamitous fire ; the greyhounds are to be sold this week. IVIXSCELMANEOITS. On Friday evening last, owing to the collision of the down-train from London with another engine on the Croydon railway, three or four railway labourers, and four or five passengers were severely injured. At Hatfield, the Marquis of Salisbury's seat, which her Majesty is expected to visit in the spring-time, there still exists the oak-tree under which the Princess Eliza beth sat when the messengers from London came to re move her from a species of prison to a Throne. At Malta. illuminations in the public streets of Va letta, the naval and military offices of Government, and the ships of war in the harbour, celebrated the birth of the Prince of Wales : the people are stated to have sho'wn but faint demonstrations of joy. This day is- the shortest clay. The winter of 1564-5 was remarkable for a very severe frost, which began on the 21st of December, and, according to Hol lingshed, " some plaied at football on the river as boldly as if it had been on the drie land ; diverse of the Court being then at Westminster, shot daily at targets set upon the Thames; and the people, both men and women, went on the Thames in greater numbers than in anie street of the Citie of London." A man named James Fryer, one of the workmen em ployed at the new glasshouse, Mexborough, near Don caster, has manufactured a glass coffin, which he has bequeathed to his cousin, who holds a situation in Guy's Hospital, London, for his own body to be inclosed in when he dies, so that his cousin will see if he rots any faster than if he was coffined in lead. The coffin is made of clear glass, quarter of an inch thick, six feet two inches long, 21 inches across the bosom, and 15 inches deep. He has ornamented it with blue glass death's head and cross bones on the side, and his name is inscribed on the lid. Turrvzoun or THE DAT.

A general meeting of the , Eastern Coast of Central America Con mercial and Agricultural Company took place yesterday at one o'clock, at the Jamaica Coffee house, St. Nicholas-alley, Cornhill, but we are unable to give any account of the proceedings, as one of our re porters was refused admission to the meeting by the Secretary, on the ground (as the Secretary stated) of the meeting being called on the private affairs of the Com mittee of Directors. „ THE LITER ARY P RIE STHOOD.;_ Of a l l priest hoods, aristocracies, governing classes, at present extant in the world, there is no class comparable for importance to that priesthood of the writers of books. This is a fact which he who runs may read, and draw inferences from. ” Literature will take care of itself," answered Mr. Pitt, when applied to for some help for Burns. " Yes," an swers Mr. Southey, " it will take care of itself ; and (f you too, if you do not look to it."— Thomas .Carlyle. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENiIsiG.

COURT,4CIRCULAR. -WINDSOR, HONDA-Y.- The Queen and Prince Albert walked on the Terrace of the Castle fur some time this morning. Afterwards his Royal Highness enjoyed the sport of pheasant shooting at Belvidere, attended by Major-General Sir Edward Bowater. Her Majesty and the Prince again promenaded on the Terrace in the- afternoon. The Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Liverpool arrived to-day at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty. The Hon. and Rev. E. S. Keppel took hii departure this morning. His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr. John Lucas with a sitting for a full-length portrait on Saturday. The Hon. Mrs. G. E. Anson, and the Hon. Mrs. Ar buthnot, will have the honour of joining, the Royal Din ner party at the Castle this evening. A deputation from the South Australian Banking Company had an interview with Lord Stanley yester day at the Colonial- office. The deputation consisted of G. F. Angas, Esq., G. Davenport, Esq., and J. R. Mills, Esq., Directors ; and Mr. E. J. Wheeler, Manager. Foad Effendi, Turkish Charge d'Affaires, accompanied by Mr. Salame, her Majesty's Oriental Interpreter, paid a visit on Sunday last to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, at Greenwich Hospital, to inspect the magnificent bril liant Nishan Efftekhary (Decoration of Honour , and Merit), and the Jewelled Sword, the blade of which alone cost about 12,000 piastres, sent by the Sultan as a mark of his Imperial Majesty's regard and approbation of the important services rendered by the veteran Ad miral in the late Egyptian and Syrian affairs. The Agent for Jamaica had an interview yesterday with Lord Stanley at the Colonial-office. The French Ambassador, the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Ministers, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Colonel Dawson Darner had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Colonial -office yesterday. The Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yesterday. There were present the Lord President, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and Mr. Justice Erskine. The Queen's Advocate concluded his address for the appellant, in an appeal from the Prerogative Court, " Charles D_ Bare and Thomas Mayhew, the execu tors named in the will of Thomas Rainier de ceased, dated 20th January, 1836, v. Ellen Elwyn, wife of William Brame Elwin, sole executrix and resi duary legatee in the will of the deceased, dated 17th September, 1837." The testator was formerly of the Albany, in the city of Westminster . subsequently of Capecure, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and died in Lower Gros venor -street, in the parish of St. George Hanover-square, the 30th October, 1837. • - Sir Thomas Wilde followed on the same side, and con cluded his address at four o'clock, when their Lordships rose, Lord Brougham announcing that the Court would be adjourned unto the Bth January. The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. BAD LAWS SHOULD BE RESISTED FOR THE SAKE OF THE Law.—They vitiate all law and make it the object of abhorrence. To secure obedience to the law it must first be made just. What reasonable being could have the heart to inflict a punishment on a man for not obeying an unjust law ? PARTIES IN THE UNITED STATES.— The relative strength of the two parties.will haVe undergone some alteration during the recess. At the last session, the Whigs had a clear majority on questionsof a purely party character of upwards of thiity. :The dissensions between Congress and the Executive on the subject of a bank, the change in Georgia from the resignation of t!lree Whig Members, and the election of two - democrats in Mississippi, render it a matter of doubt, whether the Whig party proper will have an available majority in the House of Representatives. This circumstance increases the difficulty of predicting the course of Congress. It seems probable that Mr. Webster's permanent aherence to the President, will bring sufficient strength to the Adminis tration to give it the controul of the legislation in both houses. In such an event, if the scheme of finance re commended by the President shall be of such a charac ter as to receive the support of the democrats, it will be successful ; but if the ultra WThigs are able to retain the ascendancy in either house, the Executive projet will be thrown out.—. New York Herald. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING, QUARTER PAST EIGHT.—The packet-ship Europe, from New Yprk, is now due, but has not yet made her appearance. - The wind, which has blown for some time from the westward, changed yesterday, and enabled about 200 vessels to go to sea (amongst which were about sixty ships for foreign ports), to all parts of the globe. The packet-ships Eng land, Garrick, and Royal Sovereign, for New York • the Susquehana, and Octarara, for Philadelphia, also left the port, after a long detention. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Sa turday afternoon an accident of a frightful nature, and which terminated with fatal consequences, took place on the line of the London and Birminghath Railway, at a place called ChEddington, a few miles below Aylesbury. The up third class, or goods train, had 4,rrived ithin a short distance of the station, and the train had not yet stopped, when a man named William Gilley, foreman of the plate layers of that division of the line, who had come up as a passenger, imprudently jumped out of the train. The unfortunate fellow, not being aware that anything else was approach ing, instead of jumping off on the same side as the station, did so on that next the road, at which mo ment the York passenger train was coming up at the rate of at least 30 miles an hour. Before • poor Gilley could reach the ground he was caught in the back by the buffer of the engine by which the York train was being drawn, and with such fearful violence was the shock, that his body was seen by the guards of the goods train apparently to fly to a considerable distance. It had not reached the ground the second time before his body was again caught, and hurled forward by the front of the engine, the driver of which endeavoured to stop the speed, but was wholly unable to do so before the central train, consisting of nearly thirty carriages, had passed over him. The guards of the goods train in stantly ran to the spot, and notwithstanding the dread fully shattered appearance of his body in every part, life was not then quit e ext i nct, and he lireathed for a few seconds after. The body of the unfortunate man, who was 28 years of age and single, was conveyed by the goods train on to Aylesbury. ASH TON-IN-M ACKERFIELD ANTI-CORN LAW ASSOCIATION. —We are happy to state, that the above Association, th oug h recently formed, can now b oast of upwards of 400 m em b ers ; and this, too, in a village like Ashton, where Tory power is so strongly displayed, speaks loudly of the feeling which exists relative to the Corn-laws. We wish" them every success.—Bolton Free Press. ABSURD SCALE OF RAILWAY CHARGES. — Nothing can be more inconsistent than the present mode of charging for goods by the Great Western Railway_ for instance, a parcel of 831bs, costs more than one of 851 b. ; 1131 b. is charged the same as 2 cwt. A tea dealer in Bridgewater received two chests of tea per Great Western and Bristol and Exeter line, the charge for the two was exactly th e same as one he had the week before, which was only h a lf the we i ght, name l y, 80 1 b. The ompany are losers by this foolish plan, as it is the custom of retailers in the country to order their London dealers to send several small lots to one house, where they are made into one package. It is still a subject of regret to many who hare the welfare of the profession warmly at heart, that the late promotion of Flag Officers did not go down to Sir Charles Napier, as this would hardly have included a dozen officers under 60 years of age, and all and every one must admit that we ought to have Admirals under this standing for active duties where physical energies arc required. That this did not take place we are con vinced was not the fault of the Board of Admiralty, but was caused by the Chancellor of tho Exchequer's econo- ' mical views, which alone prevented the promotion gene rally being as extensive as could have been desired.— Naval and Military Gazette. W e are glad to hear that the officers of the Com missariat are likely to participate in the advantages of the late Brevet. We trust that a similar reward will be bestowed upon the Medical Members of the United Ser vice. Their activity, zeal, and intelligence, constitute a strong claim to the distinction in question. To promote the Commissariat at the expense of the Medical officers of the Navy and Army, would be an act of cruel injus tice, and an insult which we are convinced the present Government will never sanction.—United Service Gazette. The torrent of bankruptcy and distress in this locality rolls on with accumulated force. Another of the largest lace houses in the town has been uprooted by the storm, and will necessarily bring down a number of smaller establishments along with it, throwing the workpeople out of employ, and fearfully increasing the general distrust and anxiety which pervades every branch of trade and commerce. Bankruptcies, insolvencies, and compositions with creditors, are constantly occurring, and confidence and credit have received a blow which has made them stagger and reel, so as to add to the general stagnation of business on every hand.—Notting ham Review.. FEELERS.—A report has appeared in the Lon don papers, that the Government has determined to bring forward a meaPure for an 18s. duty when corn is at or under 545., to fall one shilling for every shilling that the price rises till it reaches 685., when the duty is to remain fixed at 4s. We look upon the scheme as an insult to the people, and as such we hope it will be treated. Let not our friends waste a word of argument upon such de vices, but exert themselves with renewed vigour for the total and immediate repeal of all taxes upon the neces saries of life.—Anti-Bread Tax Circular. DEATH OF DR. BARCLAY.---•It is our painful duty this week to record the death of Dr. Barclay, mi; nister of Kettle. The Doctor was in the 93d year of his age, and died father of the Church, having been or dained to the charge of that parish on the 14th of May, 1778. He was a man of high literary and scientific at tainments, and enjoyed to the last the very highest de gree of respect and esteem, not only from his parishioners, but from his co-presbyters. Dr. Barclay was father of the celebrated Captain Barclay, who died in 1837. Fifeshire Journal. The late Eail of Westmorland was always anxious that proper care should be taken of his horses. A few days before taking to his bed the last illness, his Lordship was driven to his stables, when he ordered all the horses to be brought out separately, and trotted up and down before him. Although totally blind, bis Lord ship was very partial to equestrian exercise, which he enjoyed in the riding school attached to the P av ilion, her Majesty having granted the privilege to the ve nerable Earl. ------- WESTMINSTER ABBEY DESCIIIDEI) BY AN AMERICAN.—There is a great nuisance connecte d w i t h Westminster Abbey, growing out of the fact, that, through the week, one cannot get into these churches without paying for it, while on the Sabbath the admission fee is taken off. They therefore constitute the most important HAMBURG I-1 MAIL. HANOVER, DEC. 10.—The First Chamber has drawn up an address to the King, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, and invited the Sccond Chamber to join in a Committee to take the Address into consideration. The Second Chamber will doubtless agree to this proposal. HANOVER, DEC. 19.—The person who assaulted Privy Councillor Lutken is discovered and arrested. He is a journeyman tinman, who, some time ago, did some work in M. Lutken's house. We hear that he was informed against by a female with whom he was connected, and who was the confidant of his intentions. We hear no thing respectin g his motive, but he is reported to have intimated that he had been seduced to the crime, and would explain himself at the proper time. The pro mised reward seems to have contrikuted to his being discovered ; but there is little probability in the story %% bleb is told, viz., that he and the informer were agreed together to divide the reward of 200 francs between them.

M ARL BOROUGH-STREET.-- Yest er d ay , J ose ph Adams, the fashionable swindler, who was apprehended at Southampton about three weeks ago, was brought up fur the third time for re-examination. Airs. Colonel Hill being in attendance, 1% as sworn, and stated that she re sided in Pyle-street, Newport, Isle of Wight, and was a widow. She had no knowledge whatever of the prisoner. The letters written in Mrs. Colonel Hill's name to Miss Emma Clapham, by means of which the velvet dress was obtained, were handed to the former lady for her inspec tion, when she stated that they were not in her hand writing, nor did she know anything about them ; s h e had never authorised any person to write such letters in her naive. Mr. Maltby said the case was now completed against the prisoner, and he should commit him for for gery and uttering a forged request for goods. It is a remarkable fact that while the mean tem perature of the month of December, 1840, at Greenwich. scarcely reached 32 degrees, at Aberdeen, in Scotland, it was 39 degrees.—Hereford Times. places of public curiosity and amusement in the city on the Lord's-day, being sometimes thronged like a Ariena genie. When I say the admission fee is taken off, I ought to restrict the expression. There is an ineffable mean ness about the whole matter. On the Sabbath, while people are admitted through the external portal of the Abbey without fee, a railing or iron fence, the gate of which is locked by the keeper, prevents them from turning either to the right or left to explore the curiosities of the Cathedral, unless they pay for it, and turns them into the enclosures of the choir, where they hear Divine Service and the music gratis, and soberly go out again. But, it they are willing to pay, they may run round the Cathedral on the Sabbath, and in time of service, if they choose, as on any other day, or at any other time ; and the admission fee of three pence at the portal being taken off to clear a way gratis as far as the choir, makes the cost of seeing the Cathedral on Sunday just three-pence sterling less than on a week.. day I "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves." It is mean enough, in a great and wealthy nation such as England, to tax the entrance to the house of God in the week-time, gathering a pitiful revenue at church doors, for the sight of the inside of the buildings ; but, to contrive such an alternating tariff of prices for the Lord's-day inclusive, is a sort of Jew-jobbing business, into which, one would think, the holy Mother Church Establishment would hardly condescend to enter.—. New York Evangelist, Nov, 20. On the morning of the Queen 's confinement, Lord Hill was amongst those who were summoned to attend at the palace. His Lordship was rather late, and when he arrived at the palace he met the Duke of Wel lington, who was returning home. In answer to Lord Hill's inquiry as to how matters were, his Grace said, " All over—fine boy, very fine boy, almost as red as you, Sir James Graham had a long interview with Sir R. Peel yesterday morning, at the Right Hon. Baronet's residence in Whitehall-gardens. THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIESODThurs day evening, Mr. Godwin, jun., drew the attention of the Society to the fact, that many stones, both inside and outside various ancient buildings in England, bear a pe culiar mark or symbol, evidently the work of the Free masons. Similar marks are found on French buildings, and Mr. Godwin exhibited a series of diagrams, showing the similarity which exists between those of the two countries. Gloucester Cathedral, Furness Abbey, Cheet ham's College, Manchester, St. Mary's, Redcliffe, at Bristol, St. Pierre, at Poitiers, in France, and the Rade gonde in the same city, were amongst the chief examples. Dr. Lardner has commenced lecturing with great success at New York, chiefly on scientific subjects, particularly the steam-engine. He has married the un happy woman with whom he ran away from England, and she has already borne him a daughter. TREMENDOUS STORM IN NORTH DEVON.— The neighbourhood of Bow, in this county, was on Monday visited by a terrific hail storm, with thunder and lightning, which continued for some time. The lightning destroyed two sacks of corn out of three, which stood in the stack yard of a respectable farmer in the parish. At Copplestone also the storm was perfectly appalling, though we have not heard of any accident occurring.—Somerset County Gazette. Between half-past nine and ten o'clock on Wed nesday night, persons passing across the Place du Car rousel observed three meteors or shooting-stars, following each other at very short intervals. glide along the sky over the Tuileries, in the direction from the Pafll )n de :l'Horloge to the Pavillon Marian, each leaving behind a long luminous train, The Administration of Telegraphs is now in stalled at the Hotel of the Minister of the Interior..

Wednesday, being the anniversary of the deposit of the remains of the Emperor Napoleon at the Hotel des Invalides, a great many National Guards in uniform, soldiers of the Old Guard, and the Polish Army, with numerous other persons, visited the Emperor's tomb, and made offerings of crowns of immortelles, with which the chap• 1 was strewed. The Glasgow Mortality Bill, made up to the close of the year 1840, presents an increase of burials of 1,411 over those recorded in 1839. " There is a consi derable increase of deaths in 1840, at all the ages, with the exception of those between eighty and ninety years, where there is a slight decrease. Between the ages of twenty and fifty years, a very great increase has taken place over the deaths at the same ages in 1839." MUNIFICENT DONATION. — The sum of 2001. has been forwarded anonymously to the Rev. J. S. M. Anderson, to be applied in aid of the funds of the Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.

THE STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE.—The blowing out of so many iron furnaces as were recently extinguished has already given a spur to trade, and makers will not take orders for next quarter at less than 10s. per ton advance upon pigs. There is every ap pearance cf further advance from the anxiety in in quiries.—Paisley Advertiser. The King (Frederick William I.) one day stopped a candidate of divinity in the street, and, on learning that he was a native of Berlin, told him that the Berlin people were good for nothing. " That is the rule, to be sure," replied the candidate, " but I know two Berlin boys who are exceptions." And who are they?" "Your Majesty and myself," replied the candidate. The King desired him to call the following day at the Palace, and, having reason, on further examination, to be satisfied with him, he immediately gave him a living. —Campbell's Frederick the Great. MURDER AT TOTNES--Great sensation has been created here by the death of a man named Kelly, a travelling pedlar, in consequence of severe blows given him with a poker by a woman with whom he was in the habit of travelling. At an inquest held on Friday last, at the North Star Inn, before Joseph Gribble, Esq., Coroner, the evidence elicited was to the following effect:—The deceased was at the Fairybridge Inn, in Totness, on the 20th November, in company with the woman With whom he travelled, and whose name was Sarah Baker. He was very tipsy, and after they had sat down for about half an hour, she, without any provocation at that time, seized the poker and struck him twice on the head and shoulders. The landlord interfered, and took away the poker, and she then took the fire-pan, inflicting a tremendous blow upon the middle of his back. After this she caught him by the hair of his head, and struck him twenty or thirty blows with her fist, and beat him with her shoe ; he stooped forward, leaning on his knees, and she then kicked him in the face ; the landlord then again interfered, and put the deceased to bed. The prisoner, who is said to be a fine-grown and rather handsome woman, but who has the expression of a perfect virago, has been committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder.—Somerset County Gazette. Our Madrid advices, of the - Bth inst., contain little or no political intelligence of interest. Govern ment has sent some detachments of troops to various points of New Castille to act against the robbers who infest the high roads. At Oviedo, three aged clergy men of the Cathedral, including the Dean, had been arrested, and imprisoned for an imputed offence in the nomination of an ecclesiastical officer. A decree of the Regent has been issued for the admission of Chiliaa vessels into Spanish ports on the same conditions as those of neutral Powers. SCOTCH PRIDE.—A rather amusing instance of Scotch pride has recently been exhibited in conse quence, as inquiry has shown, of a mistaken rumour ,in reference to the improvements going on in the Assembly Rooms. It has been imagined that there is a door at which all who go in hackney-coaches are to enter. This has caused a prodigious sensation among persons wLo, not keeping carriages of their own, are ashamed to have it known they use hackneys ! It may be useful to in form such persons, that the first nobility in the land think nothing of going about in cabs; and that many fashionables do not take their horses out late, but use hackneys. The proposed regulation, however, turns out to be, that all hired carriages, as well as private ones, are to set down at the two doors, according as they come from west or east.—Scotsman. DISTRESS IN CARLISLE.—A requisition signed by some of the principal inhabitants of all parties, was this week presented to the Mayor, requesting him to call a public meeting on an early day, for the purpose of considering what steps can be taken to relieve the distress which prevails to a great extent amongst the poor. In compliance with this the Mayor has called a public meeting for that purpose, on Tuesday, Decem ber 21, to be held in the Town-hall, at twelve o'clock. We trust that the meeting will be well attended, and that steps will be immediately taken to give that assist ance to the poor which is essentially necessary at this inclement season of the year. A correspondent suggests the propriety of making collections in all our places of worship, so that every one may be enabled to contribute his mite.—Carlisle Journal. THE MASTER OUTWITTED.....—At a plough ing match, which recently took place at a village within six miles of Chesterfield, the following amusing adven ture occurred :—A boy asked his master to allow him to attend it. " Oh, no," said the master, " I have plenty of work for you at home ;" upon which the boy went quietly to work in his master's field. In the course of a short time the farmer prepared himself to attend the meeting, but thought it proper, on his way, to call and see how the boy was getting on in the field. As he did not plough exactly to his master's satisfaction, the latter dismounted from his nag, threw the bridle over a gate, and told the boy he would teach him to plough. He therefore commenced working and talking—supposing tht boy was behind, paying attention to all that he said, but on arriving at the other end of the field, to his great surprise and mortification he found the boy was gone, leaving his master in charge of the animals. There was no other alternative for him but to take them home, where he found the boy, in apparent indifference to the business. The master severely reprimanded him for his conduct, and once more set off to the field of sport. The boy, however, again outwitted him, having arrived there before his master, with his plough and horses, and having started as a competitor for the prize, which he won. It is expected that the master will not hear the last of th e joko to the end of his day s,—Cambridge Journal -••- A letter from Montpellier of the 13th inst., in the Gazette des Tribunaux, states that Madame LafFarge continues to be so ill, that her stomach rejects nearly all kinds of food. When the jail costume was presented to her for the purpose of her putting it on, she exclaimed, " Never will I wear this dress of inf amy, " and threw herself on her bed, which she has not quitted since. She is not permitted to see any persons from without, except some relations whom she has at Montpellier, for a few moments on Sunday; and some articles of furniture, which were brought to the jail by her relations, were sent back. The cell in which she is placed is the same as those_of the other prisoners, and her illness alone presents the en forcement in her case of the prison regulations as to Labour. EXECUTION OF JOB J. WARD. The awful punishment of death was yesterday morning inflicted on Job John Ward, who was convicted at the last November Sessions of the Central Criminal Court of the wilful murder of Timothy Ested, an infant, aged only one year and nine months. The wretched culprit, who was in the prime of life, his age being only 28 years, has ever since his condemnation suffered the most acute mental anguish, and on Sunday, during the condemned sermon, he fainted away in the chapel of Newgate, and the service was suspended for nearly a quarter of an hour in consequence. The same thing had occurred at his condemnation, and we understand that during the brief interval which has since elapsed, fits of a similar nature have been of frequent recurrence. From all these cir cumstances it had been feared that his strength of nerve would have failed him in his last awful moments. Such, however, was not the case. Shortly before eight o'clock the Rev. Ordinary, the Sheriffs, and other officers were in attendance upon the prisoner in his cell. The prisoner was seated on a form, and Mr. Sheriff Magnay sat by his side. Mr. Carver asked him whether he admitted the justice of his sen tence, and he replied, " Oh dear, yes." Mr. Sheriff Mag nay then asked him whether he would now wish to state anything as to the manner in whi c h th e c hild was kill e d ; he replied that the child was lying in the bed and he struck it with his fist twice; he added, that when he did so, he had not the least idea or intention to kill it, and he concluded by declaring positively that he never made use of the hammer. The Sheriff then asked him whether it was true that he was intoxicated at the time, to which he replied that he was, and heat the same time said he hoped that all working men would refrain from drink, for that had been the means of placing him in his present dreadful situation. Upon another occasion he told the Ordinary that it was drink which put the idea of strik ing the child into his head, and that be wished liquor had been a guinea a quart on that day, as it would have prevented the unfortunate occurrence taking place. The Sheriff then asked the prisoner whether it was not possible that the head of the child might have come in contact with the chair or the bed-post, but he replied that that could not be, and again repeated, that the only injury inflicted upon the child were the blows with his fist, adding that at the time he had not the slightest in tention of killing it, but as those blows were the cause of death, he acknowledged that he was justly charged with the murder, and was, therefore, liable to the pu nilmient he was about to suffer. When the prisoner was pinioned he expressed a wish to shake hands with the Sheriffs and the Ordinary, and having done so, he ex claimed " God bless you, I thank ycu all for your kindness." The usual hour, eight o'clock, having arrived the cul prit was led to the scaffold, with the usual procession. He appeared very faint, and was supported by one of the turnkeys and Mr. Holding, one of the surgeons. The appearance of the wretched man on the scaffold was the signal for a burst of cheers, mingled with groans, from the assembled crowd. He appeared to struggle for about a minute before life was extinct. At nine o'clock the body was cut down, and was in terred last evening, by the side of Blakesley. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. thank you for inserting my letter in youredit o pri nt tof h note t whic h hic evening, you a n d in w have a p a p n e s nd e e r d t o the o l i i t e r have much pleasure in reciprocating courtesy by affording the inf ormat i on you require. , The letters of M r . D av i s ( the surgeon referred to by the proposal, an d exam i ned for the plaintiffs on the trial) wer e d a t e d March 1836 and de scribed Mr. Talbot's h a bit s as having been form erly intemperate; and that his face bore the marks of irregular habits, but added that he had reformed, and was at that period perfectly mode rate, and temperate, and of sound constitution. In August, 1837, the policy was granted; and an extra premium charged in respect of deteriora tion by the before-mentioned intemperance, (as no man can repeatedly indulge in excess with perfect impunity), the substance of Mr. Davis's letters being WARRANTED by the plaintiffs. The very considerable interval of supposed good con duct, induced the office to effect the insurance; it being their uniform practice to wholly reject all cases of continuous intemperance, as leading to results not to be predicted by medical acumen, nor estimated by any observations, however ex tensive. The Directors having subsequently learned that Mr. Talbot had not reformed, tend ered back the pre: - .lium within three months, and forthwith filed a bill in Equity to raise the ques tion on merits during Mr. Talbot's life-time—nay, on the present record_ they put the single issue on their ability to prove Intemperance, by plead ing that fact with what i s called verification— thereby taking the onus probandi on themselves, and, consequently, relieving the plaintiffs from any proof whatever. The latter, however, de clined the offer in open Court, merely for the sake of beginning and ending with speeches from their own counsel. The verdict you know was for the defendant.—Your obedient servant. GEORGE FARREN. 70, Cornhill, Dec. 18, 1841. [The above explanation is quite• satisfactory.-- En. Sun.] EXPLOSION AND FIRES IN DUNDEE. About half-past nine last night (Thursday), an alarm spread that the mill at the West Wards, Scouringburn. belonging to Messrs. Wyllie and Johnston, was on fire, which proved but too true. A great portion of the mill was destroyed, but we are happy to learn that the pre mises are insured. In an incredibly short time after 'the fire at Wyllie and Johnston's mill was discovered, an accident of a much more serious nature occurred at the Gas-works, one of the tanks having exploded. The building in which the tank was placed was instantaneously levelled with the ground, the walls of it being thrown flat almost in a solid mass. Fortunately, the only part of the works in which there were any of the workmen, or any human being, was the retort-house, closely adjoining the east end' of the tank ; and the consequence is that we have not to record' the - death of more than two boys who were sitting in the Seven workmen employed t4erg, escaped, with one exception, without injury, and - that slight. The effect of the shoCk - upon the adjoin ing buildings was dreadful. The Bone-mill belonging to Mr. James Anderson, immediately .on the west of the GaS-work, has , been severely - shattered, tho windows were entirely knocked in, and some of the stcin6s in the inside of the ,walls have:been forced out and thrown to a considerable distance. A number of the houses in the Gas Work-lane and some in Blackscroft have been unroofed. The windows of Prince's street Chapel, and in houses as far up as the Wallace-town Church, have been smashed. In almost all the houses along Blackscroft they have met with the same fate. In many instances the window-shutters which were closed have been forced from their hinges, and even cellar-doors which were locked have been burst open. The shock of the explosion was felt all over the town, and in a great many places the gas was immediately extinguished by it; and in the course of a very short time the town, with the exception of those parts of it supplied from the tank at the west-end, in the immediate vicinity of the fire at Wyllie and Johnston's premises, was in darkness. The confusion over the whole town was great, seine rushing to the fire at the west and others to the fire at the east end, and none knowing where the greatest injury might be done. The body of one of the boys had been got, and the other was in the course of being dug out of the ruins. We understand their names are Warden and Bruce. The fire was completely extinguished.—Dundee Advertiser. LLO Y D'S SHIPPING LONDON, DEC. 20.—Windthis day at noon S.W. DEAL, DEC. 18.— Wind W.S.W. 7 P.M. E.S.E.— Arrd.
