The National Assembly met yesterday at one o clock. Extraordinary precautions had been adopted for its protection. The number of troops in its im mediate neighbourhood was estimated at about twenty five thousand men ; the advance guard stationed on the Place de la Concorde was composed of the 7th and 9th battalions of the Garde Mobile ; the quays and streets adjoining the palace and the Esplanade of the Invalides were occupied with sol diers. The garrison of the palace had been likewise reinforced, and a battery of artillery was planted in front of the edifice, at the entrance of the Pont de la Concorde, A. second 15th of May was not conse quently to be apprehended. The most contradictory reports circulated in the Salle des Pas Perdus. The Members of the Mon tagne, it was said, intended to move the impeach ment of the President of the Republic. Another rumour states that M. Marrast, who had an interview with M. Odilon Barrot in the morning, was to pro. pose to the Assembly to confer the superior command of the troops on General Lamoriciere, who had ac cepted it. It was also mentioned that M. Caussidiere, former prefect of police, had been arrested, &c. M. Clement Thomas, a member of the Assembly, fought a duel in the morning with M. Coetlogon, editor of the Corsaire. That journal contained, on Sunday, an article in which M. Clement Thomas was grossly insulted. The editor having refused to give up the name of the author of the article, M. Clement Thomas struck him. A duel ensued with small swords, and the two combatants were danger- ously wounded. Generals Cavaignac and Lamoriciere arrived at an early hour, and remained a long time in conference together. General Lebreton took his seat, dressed in his full uniform, having been invested in the morning with the command in chief of the forces concentrated round the palace. The greatest agitation prevailed in the Assembly when M. Marrast, the President, made his appearance. No sooner had the Secretary read the minutes of the preceding sitting than the tribune was invaded by members holding in their hands petitions for and against the dissolution of the National Assembly. The procession to the tribune lasted about 20 minutes. Messrs. Buchez, Laissac, Mathieu de la Drome, Grandin, Denjoy, Montreuil,- Gent, &c., succeeded each other, and explained the object of those petitions, but the noise was so great that it was impossible to ascertain either their origin or importance. The signers of one of them protested against the re actionary manoeuvres of the Royalists of every description. M. Odilon Barre, Minister of Justice, having ascended the tribune, silence was restored. The Go vernment, he said, had thought proper to adopt mea sures to ensure respect fur the laws, and protect the security of the Assembly and the people. The time of the engagerr ent of the Garde Mobile being on the point of expiring, the Government had prepared regulations and conlitions to facilitate the re-engagement of such of the men as wished to continue in the service. February was the term of their engagement, and the Government did not wish to leave matters to the last day. The measures devised were such as would satisfy the gratitude of the country for the services rendered by those brave soldiers, the necessities of the treasury; and the regularity of the military service. The soldiers discarded were to receive a certain sum, which would enable them to wait until they could find employment. The proposed re organiz stion had excited considerable emotion, particularly among the officers, who were desirous to preserve a rank to which'they were no more entitled than the other officers of the National Guard. That emotion was communicated to a few battalions, and the Government saw the necessity of adopting means to prevent that discontent from de generating into rebellion. The eternal enemies of public repose, order, and society—(" You and your colleagues," exclaimed M. Bourzat.—Cries of " Or der, order.") Ihe President told M. Bourzat that if he inter rup'ed M. Odilon Barrot a second time he would be obliged to call him to order. M. Odilon Barrot, continuing, said that the enemies of society were anxious to turn to account the discon tent of those brave young men, and, during the night, the Government had received a report, the certainty of which could not be questioned, that those deluded soldiers had entered into communica tion with a focus of political passions. This cir cumstance was a danger, of which the gravity had been perhaps exaggerated, but as it might lead to deplorable consequences, the Cabinet could not, without sacrificing its responsibility, avoid paying it particular attention. It preferred preventing dis turbances than having to punish their authors, and the chief of the military forces had, accordingly, adopted the necessary precautionary measures for de feating those culpable manceuvres. The President of the Assembly having, by virtue of a decree of the Assembly, claimed the disposal of the troops, his request was immediately complied with, and he ap pointed General Lebreton, one of the questors, to take the chief command of the armed force. The liberty an d independen ce of the Assembl y were completely The legislative and exec u ti ve powers guaran teed• m i g ht differ i n opinion on certain points, but th ere we re two on whi ch the y were perfectly agreed—the defence of the Constitution, to which they had sworn allegiance, and the repression of anarchical and anti social attempts. M. Degousee, one of the ques tors, said that, find- M. in the morning the Palace of th arte AillssembhlYe had d rounded with infantry, cavalry,. and the cause of that military display. lie there met M. Goudchaux, Vice-President of the Assembly, who had called to apprize th e P res id en t o f w hat was passing. Mar rast immediately wrote for information to General Changarnier. Au hour and a half afterwards an aide de-camp brought a letter from the General, stating that being then with the President, he could not wait upon M. Marrast. This was a want of courtesy to wards the Assembly—)No, no ! Yes, yes !)—and a violation of one of its decrees , pro viding that the p res id e nt alone had the right tOcommand the troops for the protection of the Assembly. M. Marrast said, that M. Odilon Barrot had told him that when the conspiracy was discovered • lt was so late that he did not wish to disturb his sleep— (Oh,oh)—otherwise, he should have been infor med of what was going on. Having claimed the disp osal of the military forces , t he President of the Co uncil immediately complied with his demand, and it was he had invested General Lebreton with the command of the troops. This incident having terminated, the Assembly corn menced the discussion on the proposition of M. Rateau in favour of the dissolution of the Assembly. 111. Fresnau, who spoke first, contended that recent events had completely proved that the unlimited authority of the Consituent Assembly was incom patible with all regular government. The country, he maintained, had not bowed to a mere name on the 10th of December last, and those who asserted that there was no political meaning in the choice made by 6,000,000 citizens calumniated the country. The country knew what it was doing when it named the adversary of the p olic y which, r ight or wrong, was supposed to be that of his rival. The question at issue, he was aware, could be easily solved by the present Ministers surrendering their places to certain Members of the Assembly, but they could not desert the post of honour in which they were placed, and were bound to remain to defend the policy which had triumphed on the 10th of December. M. Jules Fevre, who followed, said that, in con sequence of the military preparations with which the Assembly was surrounded, it should have passed to rates, there is also a small supply; the sales made have ber n at 261 to 271 tor good to fine, and at 241 to 251 10s for low to mid. Cod is held for 231 5s to 2 3110 s, and stye al transactions have taken place. Sperm met with little attention. Linseed finds a ready home demand: a fair quantify has also been taken for expor tation, and prices are firm. For Ral,esced Oil advanced rates are obtained. Lard Oil is from 36s to 40s. Cocoa Nut is depressed in value. Palm met with greater at tention by private treaty, and better rates are obtained. At auction 108 casks were all sold. the order of the day on the proposition of M. Rateau without any discussion, and declared that it would not dissolve. Were it to yield to intimidation it would be guilty of desertion. The petitions presented, supposing the signatures to be authentic did not speak the wishes of the people, and, even if they did, the Assembly should remain at its post with out heeding the judgment of the country. M. Favre then denied that any serious difference existed be tween the Legislature and the President. But behind the scenes stood the really ruling party (alluding no doubt to M. Thiers), and, in his opinion, nothiug was more dangerous than an occult Government, and nothing was weaker than a protected Cabinet. — (Bravos and murmurs). It was not true that the election of the 10th of December had placed an abyss between the Assembly and the President. M. Favre had, in the question of the election, seceded from his party, thinking that the Assembly espoused too warmly the interests of the other candidate. The vote of the country was a vote of respect and enthu siasm for a glorious name, which had risen from the ranks of the people and was the personification of the revolution. He then examined the situation of the Cabinet towards the Assembly. The Cabinet was not the elect of the people ; it was net chosen for four years, some had lasted longer, others had but an ephemeral existence. The Assembly had gladly accepted it, and offered it its support, which was dis dainfully rejected.—(Left speaking.) The Reforme gives the following account of the re ception, by General] Changarnier on: Sunday, of the deputation from the Gardes Mobiles : " Between two and three o'clock yesterday delegates of the litirde Mobile, forming altogether a battalion, assem bled in the Champs Ripe s. They then went to the Elytes National, to protest against the ministerial de cree, which so brutally destroys their position. Three times they were refused admission, and told that force should be employed against them if they per sisted. The delegates returned to the Champs Elysen, where they nominated a deputation to the President of the Republic. The President did not receive them, but General Changarnier did. The General commenced by praising the Garde Mobile. The deputation then demanded the release of their chiefs, but the General refused. Referring to the right conferred by their en gagement, the deputation demanded a month's pay, if dismissed before the Ist March, that indemnity having been accorded to the municipal -and republican guard. The General rejected the demand with disdain, and said that the Government was not disposed to make them such a present. Finally, the deputation de manded to be allowed to serve to the end of their engage ment, with the conditions, as regards pay, stipulated by the Provisional Government. The General, taking his most superb air, cried that the Provisional Government, having nominated itself, was able to do what it thought right, but that the present Government was not bound to respect its engagements. M. Changarnier, proceeding to menace, declared that he would cause the mutineers to be arrested. The deputation, remaining within the limits of their pacific demonstration, then left the Elyses, crying, Vivo la Republique Democratique et Sociale !" passed for the abolition of fines and recoveries, and for the substitution of more simple modes of assurance, in c a o n a d n f t b ie for the of Warwick the county d G of a l n Vorc l e o s u t e e e r s , ter. also in and for the BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED.

Michael Knight, a respectable-looking man, was brought up from the station-house at the rear of this court, where he had been for some hours, having been previously taken out of the river in an exhausted condition, into which he described that he had been thrown by two men for refusing to give them some money. A fireman belonging to the floating fire-engine moored off the Southwark-bridge, stated that while on board that morning, about three o'clock, he heard the cries of some person in distress at some dis'ance off, and a splashing of water as if he was in the river. The witness got into a boat alongside, and rowed towards the spot from whence the noise proceeded, and on approaching a barge that was moored off Bankside, he saw a man in the river struggling to keep his head above water, by holding on to a plank that projected a little beyond the others, but he was in such an exhiustedconditicn when witness got there, that he must have sunk in a very short time. Witness, however ' extricated the man from his perilous situa tion, by dragging him into his boat, and some police men having by this time been attracted to the spot, they got him on shore, and subsequently to the station-house, where a change of clothing being pro cured, and proper attention being shown to him, he soon recovered sufficiently to be enabled to give an account of the circumstances which led to his being found in the river. Witness was present when he made the statement, which was to the effect that he had been over in the City with some friends, and on his return home, on walking along Bankside, he was accosted by two men, one of whom asked him for some money; which he refired to give him, and that, immediately upon his refusal, he had his watch forcibly seized from his pocket, and on his resisting, being near the river side at the time, his two assailants pushed him off Bankside into the water, and left him to struggle for his life. The witness added that the man appeared to have been drinking, but was not in toxicated. Policeman 133 M stated that Knight subsequently varied a little in his account of the transaction. He said that he had been thrown into the river by two men, as already described, but said that his watch had not been taken from him, for he had not one in his pocket at the time. The policeman added that he found some money, as also a tobacco-box, in Knight's possession. In reply to Mr. COITINGECAM, The policeman said he had been down by Bankside a quarter of an hour before the circumstance hap pened, but did not observe any persons about there ; that he did not hear any cries for assistance, and that when he came up the first witness was in the act of dragging the man into his boat out of the river. Mr. COTTINGIIAM questioned Knight, who said that he had been seven years in the employ of Mr. Hales, a tallow chandler, and that being out with some friends on Sunday until a late hour, as he was walk ing home he was interrupted by tyvo men on Bank side. They demanded money from him, which he refused to comply with, and that they then pushed him into the river, and that he certainly would have been drowned but for the assistance rendered to him by the man from the fire-engine, who got him into the boat when he was exhausted and in a sinking condition. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that the complainant's ac count of the circumstances attending his being attacked in the way he described, and thrown into the river, was of a most serious nature, and that the police, on being informed of it, would, no doubt, en deavour to discover the perpetrators of such a despe rate act. The magistrate added, that Knight had to consider that his life was saved by the prompt at tention of the man from the floating fire-engine. The Democratic Pacifique says—" The Committee on the Bill against the clubs having required the Minister of the Interior to lay before it the recent reports and the minutes of the Commissaries of Police relating to the sittings of the clubs, he formally refused to make any such communication. This refusal is perfectly comprehensible, but deeply to be regretted. It would have necessarily resulted from these documents that for some time, with rare exceptions, the demeanour of the clubs, and the spirit of their discussions, have been far from jus- tifying the measures and urgency demanded by the Ministry.

The following is the second paragraph of the fundamental laws passed unanimously by the Diet of Kremsier " Par. 2. Personal liberty is guaranteed. No one can be withdrawn from his natural judge; there can be no privileged and exceptional courts of justice. "No one can be arrested without the warrant of a magistrate, stating the grounds on which the same is granted, except when caught in the fact. " The warrant must be given to the person arrested at once, or at the latest twenty-four hours after his arrest. " Every one who has been arrested by the authorities appointed to watch over the public security (police) must be delivered over to the regular tribunal within twenty .four hours, or set at liberty. " Every defendant is to be admitted to bail on giving the security appointed by the court agreeably to the law, excepting when it is otherwise ordained by the penal laws." It is said the Diet will be prorogued to the 15th of May.

SECTION L -SHIPSUILDING AND EN C T'SE -MARINO. On th•• 22,1 of February, 1848, a Select Committee of fifteen Krmbers of the House of Commons was ap- pointed, " to inquire into the Expenditure on account of the Army, Navy, and Ordnance, and to report their observations thereupon to the House." This Committee consisted of—Lord Seymour, Chairman; Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Hume, Mr. George Bankes, Sir James Graham, Marquis of Granby, Sir William Molesworth, Mr. Cob den, Mr. Corry, Mr. Walter, Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. William Miles, Mr. John Greene, Sir Frauds Thorn bill Baring, Sir Thomas Acland. The business was chiefly conducted by Lord Sey- mour, Sir James Graham (formerly First Lord of the Admiralty), Mr. Corry (formerly Secretary to the Ad miralty ), Mr. Hume, and Mr. Cobden. During their sittings, extending through the greater part of the lung Parliamentary session, they were occupied a itb evidence relative to the exp: nscs of the navy. A volume of 1,226 folio pages, containing the report of the Commit.ee, 10,191 questions and answers, and a large number of offic.al documents, tabular statements, &c., has been p;ialed. To read a volume of such dimensions seems a formi dable task, yet few will begin this without going through it. The Financial Reform Association, for the sake of those who cannot obtain the original, nor find time to go through it if they had it, make a few selections. In the first place, Mr. Ward, the present Secretary to the Admiralty, in his evidence, states — "I should say that there is no department" (under Government) " in which the want of a regular system has been so much felt as in the Admiralty ; one in which so many expensive alterations, particularly in naval construction, have been created by the sudden changes of persons having the authority, and by the want of a systematic application of certain principle s. There is no doubt that the alterations in naval con struction have been one cause of the immense increase of labour in the dock-yards, and of our great national expenditure." An adverse vote in the party warfare of the House of Commons gave, with a new ministry to the country, new Lords of the Admiralty, a new secretary, and a whole legion of applicants for employment and State pay. Ships on the stocks were pulled to pieces, the timber re hewed into other shapes, or sold as offal, and new frames of other ships of other dimensions laid on in their places ; ships completed in the building were pro nounced not to be worth rigging; or if completed in the rigging, not to be worth manning and commirsioLed for sea; and, accordingly, new ones, without regard to number or expense, were hastened forward, while these virgin ships, to the extent of 70 or 80, were kept, and are now kept, in the harbours, going to decay, or getting repairs to the extent of 20,0001. or 25,0001., once in every cycle of six or seven years; they have not been commiss►oned, and never will be, as they are alleged to be complete failures. As many or more have been taken to pieces within a tew years. The Lords of the Admiralty and their servants have worked at some as children do at toys, adding a piece to the length and taking away a piece; changing form, and restoring form; cutting down and bailding up, until the thing under their hands has grown so mon strously absurd, that they have thrown it aside as way ward children do, disgusted at their own work. And so they have gone on to something else, to repeat the same expensive child's play, But not only have the amateur lay Lords, and the crotchetty sea Lords of the Admiralty, amused them selves with millions of public money and scores of ships every year thus ; they have employed servants equally incapable and crotchetty. Mr. Creuze, the surveyor to Lloyds, who had been educated in the School of Naval Architecture, who was a mas ter shipwright in the Admiralty Dock-yard up to 1844, and still retained a partiality for some of the practices there which others did not approve, was unable to withhold his condemnation of the Admiralty ships built since 1832 by the Surveyor of the Navy. Be stated that in 1843 and 1844 he had been officially employed to examine and report upon the ships of war which had been built during 10 years; but inreply to:question 9,029, put by Mr. Hume, said he" would rather be permitted to forego any examination upon that subject." Whereupon ques tion 9,030 was put by Mr. Hume thus :—" The com mittee, however, request that you will state (though you may be compelled in doing so to mention facts that may be disagreeable to the parties who took part in that construction) what opinion you formed of the system pursued in the construction of ships for the public ser vice?" To a hich, being thus pressed, he replied,— " That the ships were merely a series of experiments, not founded on correct principles." And to the next question, he answered, that these were " the whole of the ships, to a greater or less degree, that were built by Sir William Symonds." Question 9,032 (by Mr. Hume)—" Are you to be un derstood to mean that all the ships built by Sir William Symonds were built without regard to the scientific principles to which you refer?" Answer—"l do not say they were built without re gard to scientific principles, but I say that Sir William Symonds was not sufficiently acquainted with the pro gress which correct principles of naval architecture had made to make them available in the construction of his ships; thus, for instance, one great fault was a want of knowledge of the correct principles on which the sta bility of ships depends. * * All his ships were more or less uneasy, so as to render them virtually inefficient as men of war. They were expensive from their wear and tear. * * An uneasy ship deteriorates fast, because the strains upon her are heavy. She becomes loose and leaky, and the admission of water causes her to decay fast; therefore, she is frequently under repair." Other witnesses proved the astounding numbers of ship-building abortions which had been begun, not com pleted, taken to pieces and the timber re -converted for ships of other sizes, or sold as " offal." But in steam-engines made for the navy, and the ships built for the engines in the dockyards, without their respective artists having any knowledge of what the other was doing, exceeds in absurdity, and even in cost liness, the freaks of Sir William Symonds and the ama teur Lords of the Admiralty. Air. Scott Russell, a practical engineer, and member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, who had been exten sively concerned in the construction of steam-ships and their engines of the first class—those magnificent vessels which work like clock-work on the Atlantic Ocean . xplained how easy it was to obtain a certain resul. he mercantile steam-navy, while in the war steam-navy all was uncertainty, and reckless cost. Question 7,027 (by Mr. Cobden).—" You have ex plained to the committee how it is that in private yards ihey obtain one uniform result in building steam-vessels where the builders are experienced; how do you account tee, for the failures which have taken place in the Admiralty steamers during the interval of time as you have stated to the committee the merchant steamers have been so t uniformly successful?" Answer---" I think the cause is just the difference between people of experience building and people of "` inexperience. * * Sir William Symonds, for example, began to build a war steamer. Sir William 78 S) msnds had never built a war steamer before ; the consequence was, that instead of taking the section mid ships, which we learned by our dear experience to be )34 the only section that would answer, he took a section 78 * of a sailing vessel which we had found , seven years i Od before, would not answer ; just putting back the work seven years." In the next section, a list of the ships built under this Gd blundering system, from 1832 to the present time, with Od their tonnage and cost per ton, will be given. The list is too long for the present section, but a few specimens of 1 78 the steamers may be cited here. The royal yacht Victoria .04 and . Albert is one. The naval architect had spoiled a good .6d. many ships in attempting to make a steam -navy, and fooled 6d away a goodly number of millions sterling before he tried his hand at the royal yacht; so that it might have been 6s expected that he had gained experience. But no; the Dd. Victoria and Albert cost in building, rigging, and fitting , for sea, 69,9412; but, on getting afloat, the obstinate ,j O l. ship held down her head, and would not move, except at the risk of being driven by the engines to the bottom. The engines had to be taken out; fittings pulled down to get them out; and before they and the fittings were replaced a further sum of 43,8061 was expencleii. The ene were lighter than they should have been, being con structed for another ship. This construction of engines for one class of ships, and placing them in another when they are found not to work in the class intended, dege nerate occasionally to a farce. Three first-class steamers were built; the Simoon, to carry engines of 780 horse power; the Vulcan, to carry engines of 700-horse power; and the Megmra, to carry engines of 566-horse power. The Admiralty men changed their minds after the engines were in progress, and partly paid for, thinking them too heavy. They resolved to transfer them to three ships of the line, already afloat. Preparations were made, at great expense, to render those ships of the line fit to receive them. But again the Admiralty men changed their minds, thought the three ships of the line would be spoiled, and so the large engines lie unemployed. Meanwhile two steamers were ordered to be built, and begun, called the Seahorse and the Eurotas, the engines of which were to be 350-horse power. Mr. Napier, of Glasgow, who had made en gines by contract for the Admiralty, refused to tender for engines of that size, "to be crammed into the small hold of the Seahorse and Eurotas ; but other engineers tendered, and the engines were made. Not so the ships. The minds of the Admiralty Lords were changed ; the Seahorse and Eurotas abandoned, and the engines left unemployed. The Lords looked around to discover if they could use them any where—anyhow; and seeing the Simoon without an en gine (which was built fcr one of 780 horse-power), or dered one of those of 350 horse-power to be placed in that ship. Mr. Gordon, an engineer, the London agent of Mr. Napier, of Glasgow, says:—" The reckless waste of money in altered and defective plans in building ships and steam-engines for the navy would have long since made any mercantile company bankrupt." He gives, as one of the reasons for the slow progress of science in the steam-factories of the dockyards, the fact of the practical men there being debarred, through formality in speaking, from suggesting improve ments to the superior officers; while these again, mu s t make their report through Somerset House, whence the suggestion goes by message to the Admiralty, at White hall, where it lies on the table, to be considered by the Lords. They may or may not understand the nature of the practical suggestion; but they answer, and send their answer to Somerset House, from whence it is sent to the surveyor, or captain superintendent of the dock yard, who conveys it to the master-builder or engineer, or some one else. But the chances are that they are lost by the way, or so absurdly transformed in its formal progress from one power to another, that it no longer applies to its purpose. On the other hand, Mr. Gordon states many, if not most, of the practical improvements in the engine factories of private firms originate in sug gestions 9r remarks made by intelligent workmen, fore- PRUSSIA. The German Gazette of Frankfort says that the Prussian Government has resolved to request all the German Governments to declare in what manner they mean to conform to the resolutions of the National Assembly of Germany on the Constitution ; and if they are disposed to make a collective or separate declaration thereon. The Gazette adds, that whether Austria enters or not into the German union, Prussia will defend the federative system. ITALY. The Alba of Florence has intelligence from Rome up to the 21,st. On the preceding day about 50 soldiers went to Monte Cavallo, demanding the liberation of General Zaniboni with cries of " Down with the Constituent ! Death to the Civic Guard 1" They were, however, dispersed by the dragoons and civic guard, and 17 of them arrested in the first instance ; all the others were taken a few hours later in the environs of Rome. The Provisional Commission of Government at Rome has published a decree, dated the 19th, in virtue of which, considering that reactionary parties are actively engaged in opposing the elections, and over turning the existing Government, a Military Com mission is instituted, composed of seven members, to take cognizance of all attempts against the life . and property of citizens, or against the present order of things. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa quotes a letter from Florence of the 22d, announcing that, at three P.M., the Cabinet presented to the Chambers a Bill for sending immediately a number of Tuscan deputies to the Italian Constituent Assembly at Rome. This Bill was received with loud applause by the Cham bers ; it was immediately transmitted to the bureaux, and the vote was expected to take place on the 23d. The Bill contains six articles. Tuscany is to send 37 Deputies, elected by universal and direct suffrage; every man turned of 21 is an elector, and eligible if turned of 25. Every Deputy is to receive an indem nity. The form and time of the elections is not fixed by the Bill. NAVIGATION OF THE RHINE. It has been decided by a Commission, nominated by the States interested in the navigation of the Rhine, that the river shall be explored by agents of Baden, Bavaria, France, Hesse, Nassau, Holland, and Prussia. The operation is to commence in the spring, as soon as the state of the river shall permit. In the meantime all the documents and information that may be required are to be collected. A sum of 4,200 f. is to be placed at th e di s p os al of the agents, GOV. being contributed by each State. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

WHITEHALL, JA N . 22 • The Right Honourable Sir Thomas Wilde, Knt. ' Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, has appointed Edwin Ball of Pershore, in the county of Worcester, Gent., to be one of the Perpe tual Commissioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, under the A THE ENGLISII DRAMA IN VIENNA..—The Vienna correspondent of the Morning Chronicle says :—A glance at the theatres is sufficient to show that the influx of the wealthier classes is on the increase. The Holf Burg Theatre, or HollNational Theatre (new style), a shabby building enough, still maintains its superiority over all the other theatres of Germany. Hera may frequently be seen Schiller's and Goethe's best pieces, played by masters of their art. Our own great dramatist, too, cuts a very respectable figure on these boards, to say no. thing of Sheridan's School for Scandal, and some of Knowles's plays. Shakspare invariably draws a full house. " Gods and groundlings" alike do honour to his immortal works. Lear, Hamlet, and Macbeth are each cast in a style that would do credit to the haunts of Kean and Kemble. Kato and Petruchio, Benedick and Bea trice, the Merry Wives of Windsor, have all had a hear ing within the last three weeks. Falstaff is an especial favourite, though it must be confessed, rather un-English. I saw him a night or two ago—a fat, phlegmatic German. The audience, however, were delighted, and roars of laughter accompanied his hasty retreat in the clothes basket. The same actor (La Roche) is perfection in Shylock. Comedy carries the palm at present; whether it is that the good easy folk have enacted enough tragedy for themselves of late I do not pretend to decide, but most true it is, that at the performance of a serious piece the uneasiness displayed by the unhappy few, who drop in to shed tears, presupposes an unusual share of nervous sensibility. ROYAL MATERNITY CHARITY.—Last evening the annual general meeting of governors of this institution was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, William Barry, Esq., in the chair. The secretary, Dr. Rayner, read the annual report, which stated that the number of tickets granted for the mid wins' attendance upon poor married women from January 1 to December 31, 1848, amounted to 3,548, and the n umber actually delivered during the same period to 3,17 0 , being an increase of 307 over the preceding year, Only 16 deaths of mothers had oc curred out of the total number succoured, and in only 45 instances the assistance of the medical staff was rendered at the accouchements. inclusive. The accounts showed the re ceipts of the past year, of the charity's funded property, to amount to 1,757/.

Tux NORFOLK MURDERS.—On the afternoon of Saturday week a mistake vs as committed at the Bell Inn, Orford-hill, Norwich, which, for a time, caused con siderable anxiety and alarm; and, as various false or exaggerated statements respecting the occurrence have been in circulaticn, we have made inquiries upon the subject, and have ascertained that the following are the real facts of the case:—lt appears that Mr. J.Cann, jun., solicitor, had been requested to bring a carpet-bag, be longing to a gentleman, to Norwich, when he visited this city on Saturday, the 6th. It seems that on leaving home the matter entirely escaped his recollection, and be arrived in Norwich with only his own carpet-bag, and put up as usual at the Bell Inn. Soon after his arrival he had to go out on business, leaving the carpet-bag in his room, and during his absence the brother of the gentleman whose carpet-bag he ought to hare brought called and inquired for him. He was told by the waiter that Mr. Cann had gone out, upon which the gentleman requested to be shown to his room, saying that he would wait for him. The waiter pointed out the leiora, which the gentleman entered. After remaining for a short time, and Mr. Cann not re tnrning, the gentleman, perceiving a carpet-bag in the room, concluded that it was his brother's, and accord ingly took it away with him. On his return, about four o'clock, Mr. Cann missed the carpet-bag, and as it con tained a number of important documents relating to the prisoner Rush, he became exceedingly alarme . d ? conceiv ing that the carpet-bag had, in . all probability, been stolen by some friend or accomplice of that individual. This feeling was strengthened by the fact that the gen tleman who had been seen carrying the . carpet-bag down stairs was an entire stranger to the waiter. Fortunately, however, the matter was soo n after satisfactorily ex plained by the gentleman returning the carpet-bag, with its contents, as soon as he bad d iscovered the mistake,— SuljiM Herald. DEATH OP ROBERT KRUSE O F THE TROWS.— Many of our readers will peruse with deep regret the announcement of the death of Robert Kerse, which took place suddenly, at his fishing cottage at Makerstoun, on the afternoon of Wednesday last, from an attack of the prevailing epidemic, aged 79 years. Few men, in his station of life, have enjoyed a e larger share the f the frien nd od ship of all classes, from the highst to lowest, a none have contributed more t the subhe spt and act of thijs enjoyment of the lovers of angling, than notice. Belonging to what may not improperly be called a family of " hereditary fishermen" on the rweed, Kerse spent the greater part of a long life in the pursuit of that oc cupation, having been tacksrnan of the fishings at the course Trow C o r t e g,,g. which i f c o h r h t hee came long iperiodperiodcontact o 45wi with years, many in thnoblee and distinguished sportsmen, as well as with some of the leading literary characters of the . day, with all of whom he was an especial favourite. his extreme simplicity of character, obliging disposition, a nd enthusiasm as an angler, has often cau s ed a day at t he Trows with " Old Rob," to be looked forward to by the youths of his na tive district (many of whom are now far distant from the Banks of th e T we ed), with an elasticity of spirit, which none can understand but those who have experi ma d its deli g h t f u l an d exhilarating influences. The pages of Blackwood's Magazine have more than - once borne testimony to the celebrity of the name of " He o' the Trows," as a fisherman.—Kelso Mail. M.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 30.) SUGAR.—To-day a further improvement was apparent in proceedings in the market for Colonial Sugar; for Foreign there is much inquiry,—West India Muscovado was in excellent demand both for grocery and refining purposes, an advance in prices of 6d per cwt was also obtained.

Of Java 174 baskets were withdrawn. FOREIGN.—There was no public sale to-day of Fo reign Sugar, but privately more desire was evinced to operate, and it was difficult to purchase at former rates. MOLASSES.—West India continues to be wanted, and former rates are well supported. The private operations are 300 puns. Antigua 20s, Dominica and St. Vin cent's 18s, St. Lucia 17s, and Trinidad of low quality fit 16s 61. For Bengal Treacle the sale is more active at 16s to 16s 6d rer cwt, and a less amount is on offer. An advance in the value of Honey is apparent.

Of fine whine Bengal there is still a scanty supply and as the demand is good, former rates of 12s 6d to 13s 6,1 are well supported. The purchases made in all other kinds have been of little moment by exporters or the home trade, and a fall in the value of 6d per cwt is apparent. TEA.—To-day there was much inquiry after Congou, and it is difficult to purchase ordinary sound clean Con gou under Bid per lb. SPIRITS.—Brandy is wanted.

The ridiculous monument erected at Carmarthen to the memory of Picton is at last completed. It is a clumsy, dispropor tioned pyramid, manifesting by the rapid tapering of the shaft that the cash of the managers was exhausted, or that the builder was tired of his job. At the base run out four promontories, from each of which a large can non, with feeble carriage, frowns on passengers as they approach—what they may mistake for the chimney of a manufactory. It is to be hoped that this monument of the bad management of the projectors will be a beacon to warn persons against altering what they are not quite sure of mending.—Cambrian. THEATRE-ROYAL, Noawrcn.—The performances at this place of amusement on Thursday last were under the patronage of the officers of the 16th Lancers. The Merchant of Venice was performed, with other enter tainments, and went off well. There was some excellent music performed by the baud of the regiment. The house was emdecl. Price Price.
