MEXICO. On the sth of October last the representatives ap pointed by General Santa Anna, two from each &part xneut of the republic, - met - and chose him President (~f` the Mexican Republic. The next day he took the oath of office in, the hall of the Chamber of Deputies, and the same evening appointed as his Cabinet Ministers : Manuel Gomez Pedraza, Minister ,of Foreign Rela tions and Government. Cipriano del Castillo, Minister of Justice and Public Instruction. • Jose Maria Tornel y Mandevil, Minister of War and Marine. Francisco Garcia, Minister of Hacienda. [Senor Garcia" declined . the 'appointment, and soon afterwards died in the department of Zazatecas.] General Pedraza resigneel after he had been in office four or five W'eeks, and. Jose. Maria de Bocanegra was appointed as his successor. Ignacio Triguerres was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in place of Senor Garcia. The Provisional President had, by proclamation, con voked the Constituent Assembly for the Ist of June next. _ _ ; hie I);z4tio del Gobierno of the 16th of October con tains an official letter, dated Antonelisco, September 22, from General Manuel Armijo, the Commandant7General of New giving an 'account of the capture of the vanguard of the Texan expedition to Santa Fe. The General states that intelligence of the approach of the Te:ans was communicated to him by an Italian and a New Mexican, who were with the expedition,_ but who fled . from it in advance for that purpose ; that on the 17th of September the party of 100 Dragoons under Colonel Cook surrendered at discretion, and were de prived of their arms and clothing, which General Ar mijo distributed among his own companions in arms ; that the interpreter had been set at liberty on account of his good behaviour, but that the other prisoners were on their way towards Mexico under an escort. The same paper of the 18th of October pUblishcs Pre sident Lamar's proclamation to the citizens of Santa Fe, one of the papers found upon the Texan prisoners.. The proclamation is accompanied by a commentary from the Editor of the paper. The number for the 24th of October states that Pre sident Santa Anna bad directed a cross of personal dis tinction to be prepared at the public expense for General Armijo, with the Allowing inscription :—"He saved in New Mexico the integrity of the national territory." To the chiefs, officers, and troops who partook of the cap. ture of the Texan vanguard was also awarded the pri vilege of wearing upon their left arm a shield, in whick on a green ground, was to be seen a national eagle with outstretched wings, bound with gold cord for the chiefs and officers, and with yellow silk for the other troops, the following inscription appearing on the ground of the sl!iel is of both, "Intrepidity and Valour in deft nee of the Mexican territory." An official letter to the Secretary of War from Fran cisco G. Conde, Commandant-General of the depart ment of Chihuahua, dated at that place on the 26th of October, announces the arrival of n i n ty T exan pri soners there the day before, and that, for want of means to support them, they would rest there only two days, when they would be conducted to the border of the de partment, of Durango. Another letter to the same from the same person, dated November 5, gives an account of the capture of the rest of the Texan expedition at Lake Colorado by Lieutenant-Colonel Don Juan Andres Archuleta, at the. head. of 230 men. A Report of Secretary of War, dated November 11, is published, recommending a formal campaign against Texas, and stating the quotas of troops which the seve • rat departments were to contribute for the purpose of recruiting the army. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) The Warspite, 52, Captain Lord John I lay, sailed on Thursday for New York, having on board the Right Hon. Lord Ashburton and suite on a speci a l m i ss i on t o t h e S tates of America. His Lordship arrived the previous day, by train from London, and slept at his new marine residence in Stokes Bay. In passing the Platform, to embark in the Admiral's yacht, he was saluted from the Platform, and was again sa luted by the Warspite, on reaching that ship's quarter-deck; the Revenge, Queen, Wolverine, and Warspite having their yards manned. The Warspite got under way about four o'clock in the afternoon with a breeze at south, but which, in the course of the night, increased to a gale and drove round to the westward, in consequence of which she yesterday morning came in through the Needles, and is now at anchor in Yar mouth Roads. The Indus, 78, Captain Sir J. Stirling, at the sailing of the last packet from Lisbon, was making preparations to receive on board the Queen of Portugal and her King Consort, in case of necessity arising from the - growing insurrection in that country in favour of what is called the Miguelite Charter. The Malabar, Calcutta, Lizard, steamer, and Java, trans port, with the 46th regiment on board for the West Indies, were at Gibraltar on the 27th of January. The Vernon was at Cadiz, on the 28th, as well as a French brig of war, and two frigate store-ships, bound to New Zealand. The Indus and Lynx, and a French corvette, were at Lisbon on the 31st ult. Tire following ships have left Singapore for China;— Pelican, 16, (Captain) C. Napier, Oct. 24; the Cornwallis, 72, Capt.

The Britomart; 10, Commander Stanley left Singapore, for Rangoon, 'on the 24th Nov. The Sulphur, surveying-ship, Captaih Belches-, C. 8., has left Cantcm for Englarid ; she was commissioned in November, 1836. Iler tender, the Starling, Commander Kellett, had gone to the northward (Ningpo). The Formidable, 84, andAlfred,s2, are on their passage from the Nore to Spithead ; most probably in the Down detained by easterly winds. The Queen, 110, Capt. F. Rich, is ready for sea, at Spit lead, wanting only about 80 seamen to complete her crew. .She has about 150 supernumeraries on board for distribution in the Mediterranean fleet, and victualled to •day 1013 people ; her Complement is to he 950, all classes included; and it is presumed she will sail at the end of the month with Vice-Ad miral Sir E. Owen's flag. The Winchester, 50, will be paid off at this port on her arri val from Bermuda, and will be recommissioned. The Carysfort, 26, and Ringdove, 18, are both complete in their crews; it is presun.ed both are for China. The Pique, 36, Capt. Forbes, was spoken with b y a F renc h vessel, which she fur n i s h e d with provisions, on the 4th of Janu ary, then 1,100 miles from Bermuda. The Rapid, 10, Lieut. Earle, sailed on Tuesday for the Coast of Africa. The Cracker, cutter, brought seamen from Jersey for the Implacable, which were sent on in the Speedy. The Beelzebub, steamer, building in this harbour, has had her name changed to the Firebrand, and that of the Firebrand has been changed to the Black Eagle, in complement to the King of Prussia. • • - The. Driver steamer, is daily expected from Woolwich, and will be paid wages here prior to proceeding foreign. The repairs of the Vindictive are going on rapidly; she has had 18 inches of water pumped into her, and was found as tight as possible ; no st rain is visible in any part, ant/ no bolts were started, excepting those which were bolted through that part of the keel which was ground off. The Firebrand, Lightning, and Shearwater, steam-vessels, forming the squadron which conveyed the King of Prussia to Ostend, returned to Woolwich, on Sunday, and the crews have had 1001. each vessel divided amongst them, in the following proportions, that sum having been presented to them by order of hi s Majesty :—Pilo . ts, and engineers, 51. eac h ; petty officers, 21. each.; and the rerhatning part of the crew, I/. each. The Westminster, New York Packet, Capt. Moore, is hourly expected from the river, full of p assengers, f or New York. The Henrietta, of Liverpool, for Calcutta, for some weeks under repair here, sailed on Sunday last. The Admiralty intend allowing 24 naval officers, on half pay, to be borne on the books of her Majesty's ship Excellent ; for provisions, to enable them to avail themselves of the studies pursued at the Naval C o ll ege, after they have made themselves acquainted with the practical gunnery carried on in that ship, which they can do In 12 or 14 weeks. When they go to the College, they will be allowed Is. 6:1. a d a y i nstea d of provisions, if they join the mess, and resid e in the b u ildi ng. T he officers are to consist of six captains, six commanders, and twelve lieutenants. Last night, the Rev. G. D. Mudie delivered before the Phi a second • lecture " on M ammal i a, " in which losophical Society, - he treated of bOsst.!en thirty 'mid forty species. He repreiented an individual of each with an excellent phantasmagoria. His remarks were instructive, and enlivened with frequent anec dotes. An interesting conversation arose out of the subject among tlie members. It was announced that Hr. Mudie would deliver his third aLd concluding lecture on the following Friday.

The _Echo de Lodeve states that, as a fem a l e was. being conveyed recently to the grave at Paulhan, the hearers, of the coffin felt it move, and, on opening it, found that she was alive. She was taken back to her home, and medical aid was immrdiatelv obtained; but she fell again into a lethargy, which ended in death. The Orleannais states that a melancholy accident happened last week at Tivernon, near Pithiviers. At the closing of the village school in the afternoon the children ran eat to slid e on a poo l c l ose at hand, but the ice broke un d er their weigh t ; the water was deep, and nineteen were droWned. - AMERICAN NEW s3O ds 5 LATEST FROM AMERICA. We received last night from Liverpool New York papers, brought to that port by the packet ship Sheri dan, Captain De Peyster ; they are to the 26th ult., and six days later than previously received. The Sheridan completed, her voyage in sixteen days. The steamer Britannia, which sailed hence on the 4th of January, arrived out at Boston on the 22d, with a month's news from England, the packet ships of the ith and 13th Dec. not having reached New York. Sufficient time had pot elapsed to know what effect the news would have on the money market. In the Senate the Bill for the issue of five millions dollars, to meet the exigences of the Government, had been passed, and the Bankrupt-law was to be brought up the day after the sailing of the packet. Mr. Clay has intimated that he intends to resign his seat in the Senate. From Canada the news is unimportant. The Gover nor-General of Canada, Sir Charles Bagot, arrived at Kingston on the 10th instant, and was received with ap propriate honours. A proclamation had been issued announcing the' appointment, and his assumption of the office. The accounts from Mexico to the 10th of December state that the President Santa Anna was dangerously ill of dysentery. The Texan prisoners of war were on their march to the capital. The Mexican Congress is summoned to meet on the Ist June next, fOr the purpose of forming a new Constitution, in which all the depart ments, including Texa:, were to be represented.

Southern• Exchanges continue active, and rates are improving on the principal Southern cities. The Farmers' Bank of Canton has stopped payment. The Canton Repository states that the Bank has sus tained itself against a constant run for four months, and expresses the opinion that her means are ample to re deem all its circulation, subject only to the delay neces sary for collecting. The Cotton market is more buoyant; about 800 bales were sold at an advance on most descriptions of 1-4 c. per lb. There is very little doing in flour except for the Eastern markets. PORTUGAL. Letters from Lisbon, of the 7th inst., state that the Chartist insurrection is- spreading- over the north of Portugal. The Charter has been proclaimed in Coim bra, Valencia, Braga, Guimaraes, Vianna, Villa Real, Aveiro, Chaves, Varzim, Villa Nova da Gava, Villa Nova da Famalicas, Villa da .Santo Thyrso, Gondomar, Lonzada, Amarante, Baiao, Santa Cruz, Barrosas, Pare des, Negrellos, Bemvioa, Villa da Feint, and in Castello Branco. The Municipal Chambers, or Councils, of all the towns have proclaimed the Charter, and forwarded in- telligence of their adhesion to the Previsional Junta at Oporto. An academic battalion haS 'been enrolled at Coimbra by order of the Junta, and supplied by them with 300 . stands of arms. A grand re view took place r.t - Oporto during the course of the past week, and the Te Deum was sung upon Sun day in honOnr• of the-movement ! The Barons de Val longa and de Leirca reached Oporto on the Ist instant, with a poriion of the troops under their command, and the Bth and 9th Regiments were hourly expected. The Junta had allocated 20 .contos of reis out of the seized public funds., for pay and l6ans to the soldiers in Oporto. The three.provinces of the north, which have now al most universally given in their adhesion Jo the.revolt at. Oporto, contain more .than half the pop u l a ti on o f t h e kingdom.

BELFORD, FEB. 4 AND s. —The first p r i ze o f 40/ . was won by Mr. Raimes' Atlas. and the second (101.) by his Beauty.

We are desired to correct an error in our insertion from the" Gazette" of Tuesday last, of the declaration of the bank. ruptcy of Messrs. Miller and Cradock, of Stock ton.upon.Tees, the former having lately been in partnership with Mr. John Campion, and that description being given to Mr. Miller, in the bankruptcy proceedings, the fiat does not affect Mr. Campion, who, by mistake, is described as'a bankrupt, along with the other too parties. DEA R BREAD VERSUS WAGES.—Last week, a large manufacturing h ouse a t Mil ns B r idge, near Hudders field, reduced the wages of one class of their workmen, from were reduced two shilling-, perpack , t one pound to sixteen shillings ; and another, the woolsorters, Leeds Mercury ; or we ty-five per cent.— LIVERPOOL, -FRIDAY EvErma ; By the arrival of the packet-ship . Columbus, C apta i n Cobb, .from New York, to-day, we have papers from that city to the. 19th ult., inclusive. They are remarkably barren of news. The sitting of the Recorder at Phila delphia, to consider the evidence in the matter of Ni cholas Biddle, Esq., and others, the former President and late officers of the Bank, had resulted in his deciding that there was sufficient evidence to cause him to re quire the parties to be bound in two sureties each, -to ans wer the charge at the ensuing General Sessio n s. Thi s result had caused a considerable sensation. In the Senate, - the repeal of the Bankrupt-law of last session was under consideration, and had only been ad kli:Tied upon a point of form. It was said now that the repeal would u n d ou b te d ly b e carried by a consider able majority of that body. In Cincinnati a very serious riot had occurred,-in con sequence of the excitement caused by the stoppage - of a fraudulent- bank. The mob broke into the closed pre mises, destroyed the furniture, books, and papers, and plundered it also of some money. They were attacked by the city guard, and driven away; but returned and plundered several other banks and exchange offices which, ;they supposed, participated in the fraud. The business report at New York is cheerful ; there was a lively demand for cotton, for export, at steady prices, but without advance. Very few bills were drawn tbr this packet, the rate being, however, the same as at the last advices, 108 c. 1081 c. for bills on London. There is no news by this arrival from Canada, nor had any tidings of the Halifax and Boston packet, which sailed hence on the 4th of January, reached BoSton when the ac counts left.

THE VERY LATEST PARLIAMENTARY NEWS WILL BE GIVEN AS USUAL IN THE SECOND, THIRD, AND EXPRESS EDITIONS, OF THE It is a great point gained to have the old law condemned by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and to have a ground in that condemnation for asserting that his resolutions will be as noxious as the old law. At present his sliding -scale is his quack medi cine, and nothing more, and it is the duty of the people to prevent it becoming more. They must turn legislators, and refuse, in advance► their sanction and their obedience to the new and scandalous enactment suggested by Sir ROBERT PEEL. To sanction that now, after the experience of fourteen years, and after so much suffering, would be a proof that we are more ignorant or more wicked than the ignorant or wicked authors of the law of 1828. The way in which Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan for continuing the Corn-laws will rouse the country is apparent .by what has already take❑ place at Leeds and other places. " Never," says the Leeds Mercury, " since the temporary defeat of the Reform Bill, have we known so strong a feeling of disgust and indignation ex cited in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and among the trading classes generally, as has burst forth on the announcement of the Government juggle. In Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, and Hudders field, the expressions of disappointment, grief, anger, and almost desperation, were loud and strong. Even the Tories were aghast at the measure. Great numbers of respectable indi viduals, under the influence of their feelings, spoke of resorting to organic changes which before they had not contemplated." Under the influence of these feelings a public meeting was immediately held at Leeds, of which we insert an account from the Mercury. Though there was some opposition, we are glad to see that the Anti-Bread-tax party was completely triumphant. Sir It. PEEL'S refusal to grant a Ten Hours Bill must have weaned from him some of his supporters. His Corn-law scheme must have opened the eyes of all the working classes. They must now be sen sible that he either cannot or will not alter the laws for their advantage. He will neither allow them to have more food nor cheaper food. To suppose that he will grant the Charter, after refusing the Ten Hours Bill and maintaining the Corn-law, is a gross delusion. The working classes, then, to save themselves from'starving—and they cannot suppose that they will be less able to obtain the Charter with full bellies than with empty bellies —must now unite cordially and zea lously with the Anti -bread-taxers, to procure a repeal of the Corn-laws. . . , . . . The working classes cannot have failedttto 'no tice that all the leading speakers at the Confer ence expressed themselves decidedly favourable to an extension of the suffrage, and are ready to co-operate with the working classes in -attaining that act of justice. Let them, therefore, now, as practical men, assist the Repealers, and they will have the proud satisfaction of compelling Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Tories to do their bidding. Surely it will be as honourable to them to have the present Prime Minister and the Duke of WELLINGTON pasiing a Bill totally to repeal the Bread -tax, as 'to have such a Bill passed by Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR and Mr. LOVETT. A cordial co-operation on their part with the Anti-Bread-tax party, in this crisis of the tui tion's fate, will bring the Duke of WELLINGTON and the House of Lords, and will bring Sir ROBERT PEEL and the House of Commons, on their knees to the Hall of the Anti-Bread taxers, to know what is the pleasure of the nation. That would be a glorious triumph for the democracy, and that triumph the Chartists may now achieve. They may humble the aris tocracy for ever by cordially uniting with the members of the League to demand a total and immediate repeal of the. Corn-laws. A notice has been published, that the Post office is to extend, the time fbr postingletters until a quarter past six o'clock. All letters posted after a quarter before six niust bear an extra penny stamp above the postage stamp. This is only a very small step towards granting the ac commodation whiCh the public have a right to expect. Mr. HILL'S scheme has been, we think, unfairly tried, though it has succeeded beyond expectation. When it was brought into use our commerce was labouring under great difficulties, and business knew none of the elasticity it felt in the previous years. It was brought into use also without adopting those facilities for receiving, soriting, and distributing letters by mechani cal helps, making the public contribute to the work, which are necessary, in consequence of the increased number. Because these auxi liaries were not supplied, the system is much moire costly than it ought to be, and the public do not receive so much accommodation as they ought. If it were possible to get up a rival post-. offiae—if we could only bring the principle 'of competition to bear on the establishment=scores of improvements would be made in a week, and it would soon attain that perfection we behold in individual undertakings ofalniost equal magnitude. Among the absurd regulations affecting the newspaper Press of France, is one which prevents the smallest in • crease in their size without an increase of the stamp duty. As the increase of stamp-duty would more than swal?ow up the profits of an increased circulation, the new:spapers are not enlarged, and the consequet_ce is that they are totally unsuited to the wants of the community. Thus, no matter how impor tant the debates may be in the Chambers, they can afford only { to give a mere outline of them, nor is that done without sacrificing nearly- every other item of intelli gence- No Paris, journals will bear a moment's compari son as a vehicle of interesting miscellaneous intelligence with. a London daily paper. Each paper there addresses a secti on of the public. One devotes its columns to reports of law and police investigations and trials ; another at tends to thoatrical affairs ; a third is the oracle of the Chambers; w fourth condescends to notice nothing which is not talked of in fashionable circles ; in a fifth the Fcuilleton, or literary department, is the chief feature; and so on of upwards of a score of daily, and five score weekly papers. We grant that the leading depart ment in most of the French daily papers is generally con ducted with great ability. Hence the weight attached to their opinions, which are the more formidable as they report no facts to contradict them. If they ridi cule a Parliamentary orator the reader . cannot divest himself of the impression by turning to the report of a speech, of which the Journal only con tains a. meagre outline. For some time past the leading . Opposition French Journals have complained much of this evil, and it is, therefore, with pleasure that we find some of the Government prints beginning to dwell upon it. The Presse, in particular, recommends that n.p extra duty be charged on Journals for enlarging to touch the law." He has restored the fainting hearts of.the Whigs, who now knOw him to be less than their equal in- a - matter of paramount importance. "So far from being a settlement of the question, his measure more unsettles it than ever." Such a testimony, borne by a Journal which has latterly been extremely flattering to Sir ROBERT PEEL, teaches us to believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL will not be able to make his resolutions into law. His own testimony has proved that the law he proposes to alter has been a failure. He admits, by.the alteration, that it has given landlords an unjust protection. He adopted all the arguments which the opponents of the law have urged against the gambling and speculation to which the averages have given rise ; he stigmatised the law on that point as heartily as its opponent. At the same time headmitted that he could not tell what would be a remunerating price, and he fixed a duty on the people's bread by guess. It is agreeable to his fancy to have wheat sold at about 565. per quarter, and, therefore, he limits the supply of food. In assuming, not proving, the basis of his system, he supplies the community with unanswerable arguments for denouncing it. "No better reason," says the Peelite Spectator, " was offered to sustain the monstrous intervention of an Act of Parliament to diminish the natural supply of man's food, than the old saw, 'depend ing on foreign countries." While Sir ROBERT PEEL condemns the old law, and proposes to repeal it by his resolutions, those resolutions, be it remembered, are not law, and may be opposed and resisted to the utmost of our power. their size, ands for placing the French Press on the same footing as the English. In fact, a complete re form of the laws affircting French Journalism has become indispensable. From Madrid the Papers are of the 3d inst. ; but the intelligence, with the .exception of some paragraphs in our Summary, are of no political interest. The Fives on the Bourse were at 32 for cash. A Toulon letter says that the Prince de Joinville will have the Uranie frigate, besides the Belle Poule, under his command during his voyage round the world. The Palinure brig of war arrived at Toulon en the sth inst. from Tunis, which she left on the 29th ult. She has brought the French Consul• General to the Regency of Tunis, and IYI. Pichon, who has been visiting all the ports of the. Regencies of Tripoli and Tunis, on a secret mission from the French Government. The Palinure was soon to leave Toulon again for Tunis. A letter from Sfax, in the Regency of Tunis, 14th ult., and published by the Portafoglics, of Malta, states that Sidi-Mustapha Schep-i.Tircar, General-in-Chic! of the lorces o! the Bey, had arrived at Sfax, for the purpose of raising recruits. He had acted with great rigour, and in order to extort money, allowed the wealthy families to substitute slaves as recruits, 0., payment of enormous sums for this permission.—Galig. noni's Messenger. Several journals make this morning objections to the project of law for the construction of the great lines of railways. We shall not answer till these objections are more completely stated ; we con. tent ourselves for the present with observing that the objections hi therto made to this project are almost all at variance, and thus re ciprocally refute each other.—Moniteur, Feb. 10. The Moniteur of this morning has no official part. It quotes from the Messager a lung article on the culture ofailk in the French colonies, which the French Government wished to introduce from a consideration of the necessity of finding some emplo3 raent suited to the free negroes, who form, as it were, a new population springing up without means of procuring a livelihood.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS - - - - - (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. Ll.—Prices of Ame rican descriptions took a start at an id. to id per lb. during Saturday and Monday last, and a considerable • business was transacted at that advance. On Tuesday, however, the excite ment ceased, and the market has been quiet since ; and as hol ders have supplied the demand freely, prices have gradually receded to the quotations of this week, which we now adopt. All other descriptions have been stationary in price throughout the week. The public sale of Sea Islands to-day went off very heavily indeed; the few sold were on much the same terms as last sale. There have been taken on speculatien 2,600 Ame rican and 300 ,urat; and for exportation 800 American awl 50 Surat.

PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES.—We have received a report of a meeting held at Armagh on Thursday re lative to the Marriage question. Dr. Henry was called to the ,chair, and, several resolutions were passed, but it is needless to give them, as the subject has been taken up by the Government, and a Bill will be passed without delay to legalise all such marriages as that which has given rise to so much anxiety among the Presbyterian community in Ireland.

FOUZIGIU The New York papers of the 19th ult. report the occurrence of a serious riot at Cincinnati on the 12th, in which the Miami Bank, and Bate's and Longee's banking offiees were totally destroyed. The riot was occasioned by the refusal of the Miami bank to redeem its notes, by which the working classes were plundered of their earn ings. The mob seized in the vault of the Miami 224,000 dollars, of which only 1,261 dollars were in specie. When the rioters had destroyed the banks, and defeated a handful of military, without either loss of life or limb on either side, they dispersed to their respective homes, a crowd of nearly 4,000 persons looking on with the utmost indifference, Marsh,l Soult made his first appearance at the Tuileries on Thursday since his illness. He was most graciously received, suc. cessively by the King, Queen, Madame Adelaide, and the Duke and Duchess of Orleans. The Archbishop of Paris has just published his pastoral letter for Lent. In addition to the customary permission to use eggs, butter, and milk, this letter grants a general dispensation of the maigre for the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week, up to the Thursday in Passion Week inclusively. This dispen. sation is limited to one meal (the dinner) on week days, but ex. tends to two meals on Sundays. The Archbishop recommends to all the faithful who avail themselves of this dispensation to place double alms in the hands of the Cure of their parish, one of which is to be given to the poor, and the other to go towards the purchase of the monastery of the Carmelites, Rue de Vaugirard. In the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, M. Ganneron's motion on electoral reform was introduced. The subject was likely to oc. cupy several days. The Palinure brig of war arrived at Toulon on the sth inst. from Tunis, which she left on the 29th ult. She has brought the French Consul. General to the Regency of Tunis, and M. Pichon, who his been visiting all the parts of the Regencies of Tripoli and Tunis on a secret mission from the French Government. The Chief Judge of Barcelonea had made a report to the Go vernment, from which it appears that the tribunals of Catalonia, during the year 1841, judged 3,861 criminal cases, amongst which were 160 assassinations followed by death, 404 burglaries, 3QB riots in which wounds were inflicted, 49 cases of arson, 11 cases of per. jury, 14 of suborning witnesses, 24 abuses of authority, 8 forge ries, 315 cases of smuggling, 2of poisoning, 1 adultery, 1 bigamy, 12 . popular riots, 1 rape, 2 duels. _ _ The Madrid El Correo Nacionul of the 3d inst. states, that the Town Council of San Lucar de Barameda had addressed a petition to the Government praying a modification of the prohibitive system, in order to prevent the total ruin of the provision trade. The Municipal Council express a hope that, this measure being adopted, Great Britain would reduce the duties on Spanish wines, and thus facilitate their sale in.the only market which is open to them. We find the following in a letter from Cairo, received with the Overland Mail;—" lam convinced you would be much disap. pointed with Egypt (excepting of course, the:antiquities). It is treason, I believe, in England or elsewhere, to hold Mehemet Ali cheap; but lam sure that his people are the most wretched in the world. I have seen nothing in the slave States so miserable, no system so cruel, as that practised in this country. His service is so unpopular, that he has formed companies of soldiers of men who have put out their right eyes to avoid conscription. As for the improvements introduced by Europeans in other departments, you look in vain for it. The great desideratum in this country is to irrigate, and the Polytechnic Schools and, Savans have not ap plied the commonest pump, even in the Pacha's own gardens, to obtain water. COURT CIRCULAR, IT'LL OF 'I, — ATE ANDREW DUCROW. Mr. Ducrow has appointed Messrs. Oscar Byrne, Anderton, and Serle his executors, to each of whom he has bequeathed 1001. The other legacies are as follows :—to his brother-in law, Mr. D. W. Broadfoot, 3001. ; to Mr. Joseph Hillier 3001. ; to. Margaret and Louisa Ducrow (sisters of the de ceased) 2031. each ; to Master Chafe, commonly called Le Petit Ducrow, adopted` son of deceased, 2001. ; the residue of his • property, consisting of 47,5601. 3 per Cents., his stud, theatrical dresses, fittings, carriages, ho use h o ld fur niture, pl a t e , pi c t ures , &c., tohis widow for life, with re milinder to his children, Peter, Andrew, and Louisa, at her death. Mrs. Ducrow senior is not named in the will ; she enjoyed from her son an annuity of 1001., which the widow has undertaken to continue ; Mr. Ducrow's sisters will, it isalso understood, enjoy 751. per annum each. He has left X3OOl. for the decoratien of his monument ; the adornments will be from designs by Mr. Danson, who furnished a sketch for the tomb as it now stands. The interest of 2001. 3i per Cents., is to be devoted perpetually to the purchase of flowers to decorate his lait resting place. He has directed that his grooms shall be provided with mourning. Mrs. Ducrow has presented the executors with handsome diamond rings, A few days prior to the death of the great artist, his health apparently improved, and he resolved to join his company at Liverpool. So assured was he of returning strength that he caused his name to be advertised to appear on Monday the 7th inst. On the sth he was borne to the grave. He parted from Le Petit Ducrow in October last, when the latter was .;ispatched to join the troop at Liverpool. " Good bye," he exclaimed ; " study your profession, be a good boy, you'll never see your papa again." He had been! long subject to violent nervous attacks, and paralysis was the natural consequence of the continual strain upon his system. The amount of his pro perty cannot be easily estimated, but the value of his stud, his personal effects, banker's account, and funded money, cannot be reckoned at less than 55,000/. Messrs. Hillier and Broadfoot will conduct the establishment for the benefit of the widow and children. Mr. Batty will be, it is said, the future lessee of the Amphitheatre, when rebuilt ; and Ducrow's stud and company will reappear iu a new arena in the metropolis next Easter llonday.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FEMALE.—Yester• day an inquest was resumed before Mr. W. Cartter, Coroner, at the Coburg Arms, Webber. street, Lambeth, on the body of Sophia Wallis, aged 20. Mary Deans, residing at 3, New street, said that deceased lodged in that house, occupying the first floor. On the morning of Tuesday last, she came home about one o'clock, accompanied by a man named Chivers; she was then very tipsy. Between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, she was called up by Chivcrs, who said he thought Susan was dead, and on looking at her, she appeared to be so. Chivers immediately went for a surgeon, and Mr. Sewell attended. The previous week I heard de ceased expressed her regret at the course of life she was fol lowing, and wish herself dead. She was much attached totl Chivers, who has recently enlisted in the 10th Hussars, and wished to go with him t o Dublin, where the regiment is sta tioned. Mr. J. Sewell, of the New-cut, surgeon, said he saw the deceased about eight o clock on Tuesday morning last, and found her quite dead. He had since opened the body, and found an effusion of serum on the brain, sufficient to account for death. On analysing the contents of the stomach, he found it strongly impregnated with oxalic acid. The man Chivers was here called, and, after being cautioned, briefly stated the different places where they had been drinking on the previous evening ; and the Jury returned a verdict--" That the de ceased died by poison, but whether taken by herself, or admi nistered by others, there was no evidence to show." - - - BRICIIITON, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by his Serene Highneis Prince Ferdinand of Saze-Cobourg, left by the South gate of the Pal a c e , a t tt-n o'clock, in a carr i age an d pair, preceed by outriders, and after taking an airing the Queen and Prince Albert -alighted, and promenaded through some of the principal streets.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1842. of ln ati l .a t3 i 2 r8 5:1 11 8 ,1 2 1 e 6 o L ot the d e LIN' R countryPo o I L v , a then in a g t r t e h a e t b d e i a s d . tress, declared that Parliament could do nothing to relieve that distress. Again ,the country is plunged, as at that period, in distress; and again the Government, by the mouth of Sir ROBERT ' PEEL, in proposing the new sliding scale declares that it has nothing to offer which can relieve the distress of the people. In 1525-1826, it was not clear that the distress then existing —though it undoubtedly spr ang f rom our Corn an d Money laws, particula r ly th ose of 1815 ) 1819, and 1822 was immediately caused, like the present dis tress, by an enactment of the Legislature. But then, as now, the law-makers told the people, in substance, that they must: bear their misery with patience, for the laW•tntik ers could not help them. Whenever there is a tax tO be levied, a coer cive la w t o b e passed, a p uriishthent to' be in flicted, a bl oo dy war to b e waged, a multitud e of people to b e sacr ifi ce d, the Legislature is all powerful; w h enever t h e . people suffer dist ress, 0r complain of a grievance, though . inflicted b y the Legi s l ature, that body i s as impotent t o re- lieye or red re s s i t as a suckingb The present distress Is, in fact, a i proposition t o re - enact t h e sliding scale, th e b mocked by a suuree of Our woe. Under such circumstances it is not - surprising to find it generally asked " ‘vliat will the people, what are the people to do ?" A more important question was never at any time put to rational beings- -and as the people answer it, so will be their fate for many years to come. 1 The question no longer concerns the effects of Corn-law ; a b out them the di s p u te is a t an end it now co ncerns the validity ; of and authority the law and the means to be taken to get rid of it. A general union of the working and middle classes, as we have elsewhere stated, will be ef fectual for that end. In the meantime it is right to make the people aware that Sir ROBERT PEEL has weakened the authority of the Corn law, and will help us to get rid of it. "He has alarmed," said the Spectator on Saturday, "an important section of his followers by venturing e , 2‘ „, :tta .` , t . _ 0, , 0 m t+ " ovL 4 k /c • - R ° ~:.:/ PUaLIC OPXNION. The Morning Post asserts, that thecalmconsideration given to the plan of Corn.law amendment proposed by Sir Robert Peel, has "already produced the result which we anticipated. The feelings of surprise, not unmingied with alarm, which so considerable a re duction of the duties at first occasioned, has died away; and we think we may now safely say that the amended scale, as proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet, will have the unanimous support of the great party which defeated the Whig Government after the general election of last summer." The Times anticipates the accession of the whole Whig party, at no very great distance of t►mo, to the Anti:Poor.law cause; adding, "they will not be deterred from joining us by any parti. cular squeamishness on the score of consistency, or by the fear of involving themselves in any censure which they may cast upon Sir Robert Peel for maintaining the present despotisms." The Adveriser continues its expression of bitter disappointment with Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law project, and goes on to observe : "The Government must I.e reclaimed, in its present circumstances it is an usurpation—a most unrighteous usurpation; it must be considered extinguished ; the people must be their own executive. For this purpose, we say, there must be an avoidance of passion. All power is now in the people's hands. They have only to exer cise it." The Herald is of opinion that the recent debate on the resigna tion of the two Scotch and Irish judges, " will not satisfy moderate and temperate men. The Government will stand absolved in their : , udgment, but that absolution will include the censure of the resigning judges." The Chronicle, alluding to Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law Amend ment measure, states that " these are mischiefs peculiar to a sliding scale of corn-duties which adhere to .it in every shape in which it can be cast. In no way can it be reconciled with the spirit of our commercial treaties, or with the most advantageous character of our commercial intercourse With foreign countries." 4pm Our arriv prices.
