A Cabinet Council was held on Wednesday at St. Cloud, at which. the King presided. • • Count Friant, General in the National Guard of Paris, and Colonel under Napoleon, has been appointed Aide de-Camp of the King, in place of the late General Count Alexandre de Laborde. The Independent of Brussels of Tuesday says-,--"M. Olozaga, the Spanish Envoy Extraordinary, is to leave Brussels this day. It -must not be inferred from his departure that a rupture of negotiations has taken place. On the contrary we • have reason to be lieve that the conclusion of a commercial arrange ment depends solely on some information which is being collected." The French Chamber of Deputies at Paris counts amongst its members 86 Administrateurs,, 70 Ma,7is-, trates, 65 Lawyers holding offices under Government, 61 officers in the Army and Navy, 53 Mayors, -36 merchants or manufacturers, 24. literary men and ar• tists, and 8 medical men. In reference to the duel at' Frankfort, which took place some time since, and was noticed in Gali'nani, that paper states that a document was agreed upon by the two seconds, burying the whole past in oblivion, and was signed by both the said seconds a few days after the duel. The Chamber of Commerce of Abbeville has no minated four delegates, merchants and manufacturers, to come to Paris, to oppose the commercial treaty be tween France -and Belgium. Lieutenant-General Sebastiani has been sent for to Paris, by the King, to fill, it is supposed, some im portant post. PUBLIC OPINION. l'he Chronicle makes the following comments on Lood Aberdeen's letter respecting the slave-trade:— " The letter. 'of Lord Aberdeen, condemning the efforts of British officers on the west coast of Africa, to suppress the slave-trade, is as much praised by the Government journals in this . country as by those of the Opposition in France. It is not easy to say which is most creditable to the . Noble Foreign Secretary. We gather from the observations of our Contempo-:' raries that the Censure pronounced upon the activity of the British cruisers was apropos of the destruction of the barracoons, or slave warehouses, "at Gallinas, by Commander Denman. Although the subsequent proceedings at New Cestos, Sea bar, and Rio Pongas ' are referred to in the censure, yet it is only the first that is adverted to in the justification put forward in the Government Press. We presume there fore, that this is the strongest case that Lord Aberdeen is able to make against the British navy. Let this case, at all events, be understood before our own countrymen are ealled upon to join in the denunciations which, upon the suggestion of Lord Aberdeen's letter, the French Press has poured out upon that branch of our service. First, however, we should observe that it is alleged this letter was not intended for publication. By one we are told that it has ' crept' into print by accident, by another that it ' was brought to light by no act of Lord Aberdeen's, but was ensconced in the Appendix of the Report of the Parliamentary Committee.' The value of this excuse we are quite at a loss to understand. The ques tion does not so much respect the publication of the letter, as the writing of it. Undoubtedly this letter is of such a charaCter that if it was necessary to write it at all, it should have been written in the shape of secret instructions, that could not have found its way into print. But we altogether deny that it ought to have been written. It is, we say, disgraceful to a Minister of this country to have put his name to such a document." The Times thus alludes to the subject of the Ame rican newspaper press It appears to us that the influence of democracy in the United States is quite as detrimental to the public at large by corrupting its servants as to individuals by filching their good name. And we see no chance of any dire for this pervasive curse of the American Republica. If the power of legislation were virtually with the respectable part of the community, the Mischief might be checked by the enactment of such a duty upon newspapers as should bring the periodical press to depend upon and cater, for purchasers of a more civilised description than the readers who now buy the farthing ribaldry of the day. But, unhappily, these very readers are the go verning powers of the land 7 —the possessors of the omnipotent popular suffrage ; and it would be childish to expect from them any law or regulation for cutting off the supplies that feed their own craving. Thus it is that the democracy acts upon the press, and the press reacts upon the democracy ; and, between the one and the other, the once hopeful Eden of liberty seems fated to remain a wilderness of weeds." The Post, speaking of the state of affairs in Canada, says :—" Many will say—and we are far from con tradicting them—that it would have been much better to keep the law so that the concessions made ,by the Governor should be more evidently a matter of dis cretion—a something for the Cabinet to withhold or not, as should best consort with its free disposition. It cannot be denied that the concession will now be re garded as something in the light of a triumph by the agitating party, and it is. hard.to say what unpleasant consequences may result. from , the use made of this feeling by designing and obstinate .malcontents. Whig legislation made it impossible for the Government to avail itself of the additional moral influence which the retention of a full discretion would give it. That which might have been kept in the hands of the Crown, to be given or withheld, as circumstances might make prudent and proper, the Whig Bills took up and handed over to the agitators of the.province. There fore is it manifestly absurd to censure the present Government for acting promptly in the emergency put upon it. The invitation to Lafontaine and others was an operation of detail, the necessity for which was created by fundamental changes." MONEY-TRADE - COMMERCE. The number of loaves distributed during the month of September, 1837, to the out-door poor in the parish of Marylebone, was 2,688; during the correspond ing month in 1842, the amount has been 9,144. At the meeting of the Proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway, held yesterday at the Shoreditch station, it appeared from the Report, that for traffic on the 171 miles of the line, the receipts had been, in 1840, for fifteen weeks, 10,455/. ; in 1841, for the some period, 14,990/. ; and, in 1842, 17,455/. The traffic for the last half year had amounted to 22,924/., the disbursements to 12.058/. NAVAL AND A Court-martial was held on Tuesday last on board the Impregnable, for the purpose of trying Lieut. Edward H. Alston, of her Majesty's ship Cambridge, for marked indifference in carrying into execution the orders of his captain and commander, and for having beaten Francis Fitzgerald, a volunteer of the first class, whilst on shore at Besika, and using violent language to him. The Court found him guilty of the charge, and sentenced him to be dismissed the service. LAW AND POLICE. George Frederick Purdon, described as the pub lisher of the Evening. Slut, was charged at Lambeth street yesterday with pulling the house-bell of a re spectable tradesman in \Vhitechapel, and fined in the mitigated penalty of 20s. Captain William Kitchen, the master of the ship Bombay, was yesterday charged at Thames•street with having wrongfully and wilfully left behind a seaman, named Samuel Stone, at Moulmein, in the Bay of Bengal. The Magistrate considered the case made out, and required the Captain to find bail, him self in 1001., and two sureties of 501. each, to answer the charge at the next Sessions of the Central Crimi nal Court.

LITERARY "ND SCIENTIFIC. The opening of the Walhalla at Ratisbon is said to have been most imposing. On a signal given by the King, the gates were suddenly thrown open, and as the fine monument appeared, the song of the Bards, composed by Stunts, was performed, while the com pany walked round the temple. The King, as founder of the temple, was received by 32 young women, clad in white, as representatives of the same number of States composing the German Confederation, and at their head one young woman, with a gold wreath on her head, appeared as the representative of Germania. The Walhalla was open to the public in the evening, when it was illuminated. ZWISCEIMANEOUS.

The bankrupt was described as a merchant, carry ing on business in Gould-square. He had also specu lated largely in buying up corn, and eventually tailed in last February; shortly before which he offered a compensation of 12-i per cent. to his creditors. All agreed to accede to this proposition except Mr. Petitt, the petitioning creditor, to whom a sum of 3,5001. was due. Soon after the fiat was issued at the in stance of Mr. Petitt, the bankrupt left his place of business, where he traded under the firm of Gautier, Woods, and Company, and tidied to appear on his last examination. In his schedule a number of debts described as " Foreign debts," appeared, which amounted in the aggregate to upwards of 15,0001. This day was appointed for a proof of debts, in the admisSion of which no point of general interest was elicited. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COUR't. (Before Mr. Justice ERSKINE and Mr. Justice MAut.E.) MURDER. —Jane Bowler, aged 26, was indicted for the wilful murder of her husband, Joseph Bowler, by administering a certain deadly poison called arsenic to him. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The pri soner, who was attired in widow's weeds, and whose appearance was anything but prepossessing, did not appear at all affected by her situation. Mr. Payne conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. 'A Ir. PAYNE, in opening the case, told the Jury that with regard to the fact that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by arsenic there could be no doubt. The circumstances of the case all went to show that he had not administered it to himself for the purpose of self-destruction, and the Jury would have to say whether the circumstances of the case were such as to lead them to conclude that the pri soner must have been the person who administered it to him. It might be asked what was her motive ? She bad been married to her husband, who was 28 years of age, for about five years, and he should show that she had long entertained a partiality for a young man named Tunstall. Having shown that she had a motive for poisoning her husband, he should show that she had ample opportunity of administering the poison, and that she had endeavoured, shortly befbre the murder, to purchase arsenic—that the prisoner had actually purchased arsenic. The Learned Coun sel then minutely detailed the facts of tir case as they afterwards appeared in evidence, and called the fol lowing witnesses : James Colthead—l am a surgeon. I attended the deceased several times. I knew his wife. I was called in on the 17th of September, at ten o'clock on Saturday night. The man was then dead. There were pieces of mucus on the floor. He was on the bed. I had confined Mrs. Bowler three months before. I opened the body of the deceased and found a portion of white powder about two inches in length and an inch in breadth in it. The intestines were empty, the kidneys were larger then they should be. The rest of the Viscera were healthy. I took home the con tents of the stomach, and on examination they turned out to be arsenic. I should think there must have been about 20 grains of white arsenic, commonly , called arsenious acid. The deceased must have suf fered very much indeed. I should think the poison must have been taken six or seven hours. It could not have been taken more than 12 hours. I found some castor oil in the stomach. I attripute the death of the deceased to the arsenic. The prisoner ex pressed a wish to have the deceased opened. She said he had been eating apple "pudding on the Wednesday previous, and that he went to the yard and imme diately cast it up again. We analysed the rest of the pudding. There was no arsenic in that. If there had been arsenic in the pudding I should think it must have been all cast up again. I was told he was ill from the Wednesday to the Saturday. I was in my shop on the Thursday morning at nine o'clock, but did not see the prisoner, nor sell her any tincture of rhubarb. I had not seen her from the time of her confinement until after deceased died. did you get - on to-night. I said it was postponed again. Mrs. Bowler burst out laughing. I told her it was no - laughing matter. She said, "If I cry it is not right—:f I laugh it is not right, what am Itodo ?" Dunster, who was present, said " It is wrong, Jane,you ought to know better." She:said, "By G—d, Dunster, you had better hold your tongue, or - else I'll open, • and say something you won't like." Dunster re plied " Well, if you have anything to say, say it openly." She said " I have trusted to one, and no doubt I shall get over it. I am in it, and I must get out of it how I can ; lam innocent. There is one thing, they cannot hang me on account of my children. This was said partly seriously and partly jocularly. On the Tuesday morning, prisoner said, " Well, ifhe has been poisoned, as it seems he has, he must have'done it himself."• On the Wednesday after deceased died I said to Mrs. Bowler, it was a shock ing thing; she said,. It was ; but, thank God, she had not done it: Nothing had passed through his body but what she had given him herself, but poison she had not. Cross-examined—She said,. in my hearin g , she was very willing hi s b o dy s h ou ld b e opened. Dunster is not married man. Ido not know myself that Bowler once attempted to destroy himself. My hus band said he had: As I and my husband, and Mrs. Bowler, were coming from Bowler's mother's, at Lambeth, about three years ago, my hus band said th a t B ow l er h a d a t tem p te d to throw himself into the canal. Ido not know that he did. I saw Bowler run down the street, and my husband after him. Ido not know whether the street would lead to water. Ido not know that there is a - canal at Lambeth. I knoW there is some water near the Bishop's Palace, but I do not know:what it is. John Page—l am 'assistant to Lowe and Horn . blower, chemist,- Blackfriars••road. I remember that about three weeks before I was. examined by the Co roner, a female asked me for arsenic. I did not give it to her. - Mrs. Bowler has since been pointed out to me. "My impression is that she was the person, but I will not undertake to swear positively. Cross-examined —The re are people continually comin g in and out of our s h op. Prisoner was b r o ug h t to me by an officer, who had been making inquiries of me before about her. When she was brought I said, " I have seen your face before." I will not swear that the words were not " I think I have seen your face before." Prisoner said she had never been in the shop .before. She was not dressed in mourning, when she was brought by. the officer. I did not say, when before the Coroner,." I see she is in mourning." I did n o t sa y "I cannot swear to her, because her dress is different," or any words to that :effect. •-I never said so at any time. (The deposition of the witness before the Coroner was then put in, and the concluding sentence of it was, " I will not undertake to swear to her; I see , she is in mourning ; her dress is different") I still say' I will not undertake to swear to her; but I am still of the same opinion she is the same person. By the COURT—There was nothing remarkable about the woman who asked for arsenic. She was in the shop only a short time just to ask for arsenic. I. said, "We do not sell it,"- She went away directly. I should say nearly 100 customers come to our shop in a dayAllingham They:are perpet ua ll y coming in and out. Joshua —I am the beadle of St George's parish. I received information of deceased's death on Sunday evening. I went to th e h ouse on M on d ay , and saw Mrs. Bowler. She said he hind had a cold, and likewise a pain in his bowels. She said he died on Saturday night at ten o'clock. I asked why she had no medical man. • She said he had an objec tion to see a medical man.

Cross-examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am not a mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons. . I attended the prisoner in both her confinements. She paid me my ,fee. but she has not paid my bill for medicines. I have sent it in. Ireduced the arsenic to. the metallic form by the black flux and by Marsh's apparatus. My assistant, Wheeler, assisted me ; he is not here; he was examined before the. Coroner. He always at tends in my shop. The 'pudding that was given me Was not given as a part of that which had been-re jeeted :from deceased's stomach. I had no •opportu nity of examining what had been rejected from de ceased's stomach. One of the first symptoms of poison by: arsenic is sickness. Castor oil is a counter irritant. It would be likely, by its purgative quali- • ties, to carry arsenic out of the system. Mrs. Bowler never told me that my assistant had served her with tincture of rhubarb on the. Thursday morning. . She told me this at the time of the inquest. Re-examined—They owed me about 31. If ar senic had been administered on Wednesday it would have produced death earlier than the Saturday. Sarah Mawle—l live at 22, Union, street, Borough, in the same house with deceased. I had known him 17 weeks. I remember the Sunday before he died Mrs. Bowler was in my room. I told her a lady and gentleman and servant had been 'poisoned by arsenic. She asked me if I knew how they sold it, whether in liquid or powder. I saw deceased on the morning of the day that he. died. He was sick and • vomiting when 1 first went into the room. Mrs. Bowler was there. She said he brought up everything she gave him. I asked her why she did not have. a doctor.. She said they owed him money. I said there is a parish doctor and a dispensary doctor, why not have one. Deceased said, " Why not me have a doctor?" Pri soner said, " You don't want to be physicked and doc • tored about.". Deceased at that time had his hands upon his chest; I did not hear him complain of any thing. On the Monday after deceased died, I was in conversation with Mrs. Bowler's mother, in presence of prisoner. I said, "Mr. Bowler said he wished to have a doctor." Prisoner said, "He did not say so; and if you say that you will hang me, for you will be called upon the Jury." On the morning of the day after his death. I found a long half-pint mug in his room. I took it from the drawers of the room where deceased died. I was cleaning the room. - I took it to the kitchen. There was tea in it. I emptied it in the yard. I saw a white sediment in the bottom of the mug. It looked a dirty white, like magnesia. I took the mug to the kitchen. I did not wash it out. I did not see it after. I know a man named Dunstor. - Mrs, Ilowlg said it would destroy her happiness, if he got marriod'tn -the young woman he was paying his addresses to: This was just before Mr. Bowler's death. She had told me before, that Dunster had told her he would wait five years for her.' Dunster lodged in the house. I never saw him and Mrs, Bowler go out together. Crois-examinea,,,The prisoner is a woman of a cheerful lively disposition, I did not attaeb any portance to her observations about Dunster, when she made them. It was part of the prisoner's duty to attend to the lodgers in the, house. Dunster was one of them. I - have had no conversation with any person about this matter, When I told the prisoner about the lady • and gentleman being poisnn t e4 with arsenic, she said it was a very shocking thing. When deceased was ill on the Saturday, I recom mended a blister. The nurse who nursed Mrs. Bowler was there at the time. On my mentioning a blister, prisoner said, "1 wont have - him tortured with a blister," He WO5 511111105P4 to be Ka:ging under a bowel, complaint.

On Saturday night I was standing at the corner of Union-street. Mrs. Bowler came to me and said, " Oh, John Thomas, come to my place—Joe is dead." She seemed in great aiStrgsg, went, and found him on the floor. There was a sort of darii phfrain prntindips from . nil ; 4P and mouth. 1 saw DO glass near birn, Mrs, Bowler. said she had given him some brandy, and had bought the pennyworth of tincture of rhubarb at Mr. Colthead's, and had given it to him.

ADMISSION Or GUlLT.—William Edmunds, aged 22, was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 18th of September; in the dwelling,house of T. G. Phillips, Esq., two gold rings and other articles of jewellery, of the value of eighteen guineas, the property of Frederick Daniel 13asire, Esq. The prisoner, who was also chargedluvon two ettivr OCTOBER 29, 1842. indictments, with stealing valuqble •property from other persons, pleaded guilty to all the indictments. No witnesses were called on behalf of he prisoner as to his character, and the Court sentenced him to ten years' transportation. CHARGE OF FORGERY AND FRAUD ON TILE BANK OF ENGLAND.—Williont Henry Hoskins, a respectabiy dressed man, was indicted for obtaining, by false pre tences, a cheque-book of the value of is.; with intent to deli and the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Ballantine was counsel for the prosecution and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prisoner, said that the charge to which the prisoner had pleaded was a mis demeanour, but there was another and more grave charge against him, namely, for forging and uttering a request for the delivery of goods, with intent to de fraud the same Company. The Learned Gentleman was anxious that the Court should allow the charge of felony to he postponed to the next session, and that the Judgment as to the misdemeanour, to which the prisoner had pleaded, should he respited. The Learned Counsel for the Bank had no objection to the postponement. The prisoner had been. eight years in the service of the Bank as porter, and down to the present transaction had borne an excellent character. The Directors of the Bank were of opinion that the prisoner had been employed by some evil disposed person to procure a cheque-book, and they were in hopes, if time was allowed, the prisoner would make some important disclosures which would tend to fun - ther the ends of justice. Mr. Clark, the Clerk of the Arraigns, having been consulted, the trial for the felony was postponed to the next session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A man, named William illiddleton, a coalheaver, was charged with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. J. Fitch, of Charles-street, W6tminster. It appeared that the prisoner went into the shop of the prosecutor with a begging petition, and he gave him sixpence.

Mr. HALL committed the prisoner for trial at the Westminster Sessions. CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DA Y.) Mary Ann Jones, an unfortunate girl, was charged with the following daring robbery : Mr. Gill, a gentleman residing in Whisk:in-street, Clerkenwell, deposed that he was returning home last night from the City, where he had been to pay a loan of 101. The. -lender not having been at home, h e brought the money back with him.

WEST LONDON RAILWAY.—Several parties have applied to us for our views and advice with regard to the new shares in the above railway. We never give advice, but we will lay before them the facts as simply and clearly as we can. About 140,0001. have been spent on this line, and it is now estimated that 32,0001. will finish it. The proposal is, that 10 per cent. shall be divided upon this sum before anything is given to the old shareholders. The question then is, what traffic will pay 10 per cent. ? If we allow 50 per cent. for working expenses, the amount on long:line is about or under 40; then 6,4001. per year receipts will just do it. But 6,4001. per annum for a line of three miles, is 411. per mile per week. Now, if the two short metropolitan lines, with which alone this can be compared, receive the one, the Greenwich, 2331. per mile per week, and the other, the Blackwell, 1581., it will be hard indeed if this line, with the London and Birmingham and Great Western at one end, and the Thames at the other, cannot earn 411. per mile per week.—Railway Magazine. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—A s some workmen were engaged in removing. the materials of the late Miss Allambridge's house, in Cheap-street, in this town, they exhum e d fi ve scu l ls and a considerable quantity of human bones, all at some little distance from the surface. On removing a yew-tree that stood in the garden one of the sculls was discovered under its roots, the lower jaw and teeth in good preservation. The others were found in different places in the yard, and even under ; the flooring of the house. They were but slightly decomposed ; indeed, the lines of the brain, in the cavity of the skuls, were clearly trace able. The matter excited but little interest, as, from its contiguity to the abbey, it is conjectured the spot was formerly a part of those premises ; no vestige of coffins, however, was discovered. The former inha bitants of the house, doubtless, little thought they were in such close vicinity with the dead.—Sherborne Journal. • CALEDONIAN CANAL.—Mr. Walker, the celebrated engineer, has just finished his surv e y o f th e cana l, by order of Treasury, preparatory to the arrange ments for repairing and completing this great national work. There is no longer any doubt that the works will be commenced in the early part of next season, from which considerable benefit may be anticipated to the unemployed part of our population. Mr. Walker, immediately on reaching this end of the line, re turned to fulfil his numerous professional engagements in the south.—lnverness Courier.

SINGULAR PH followings ingular se PHENOMENON.—The 11e : phenomenon is related by the Cou rr i tr d e la 1 . 0 —On the 15th ult., during the prevalence of an epi demic complaint at Villecey-sur-Mad, a commune near Metz, a medical man w as ca ll e d in toattend a woman forty-four years of age, suffering from the prevailing malady. On entering the room where she lay, which was on the ground floor, raised about half a yard from the earth, which was damp, he observed on the outside of the bedclothes a pale blue flame, which went out on op en i ng the wind ow b u t left a pungent smell behind. The doct or , i n r e fact, attributed it t o th e electrical state of the sronambeer that ago atmos phere acting upo n th e person of the woman . Our was read related will ers m remember an almost similar account Gaignani,in the English ohulinnagl this MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. • • CITY, FRIDA Y EVENING CHRONICLE.—We concur with the spirit of some suggestions in the columns of a Contemporary, regarding the formation of a metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, to be governed by a Committee, to su perintend the general interests of trade, and form the accredited organ of . communication with the Execu tive. A Chamber of Commerce is to he found in almost every town of importance throughout the United Kingdom. London is the exception. It stands almost alone in its glory, without a legitimate organization of the great mercantile interests to afford the individual members of those interests the benefit of concentrated united action. London is behind the provinces in many things; and one of its worst instances of lagging behind is in the want of a well constituted Chamber of Commerce. There are many powerful arguments in favour of such a society of merchants, and none of a public nature that occur to us at present against its adoption. The leading mer chants have a club of their own, at which they meet occasionally, and talk over their common interests; and there are special coffee-houses, frequented more particularly by merchants engaged in particular branches of commerce. We have the Baltic Coffee house, the New England, the Jamaica, and the Jeru salem ; all cases in point. But these places of ren dezvous do not supersede in any way the expedienay of forming a Chamber of Commerce, by a general amalgamation. of the mercantile community. The present ti:ne is particularly well chosen for stirring in the matter. The Committee appointed at the re cent meeting for carrying into. effect the resolutions regarding the earlier hours for 'Change, and other matters connected therewith, is, in fact, a nucleu s al ready made, and only requiring due extension and proper materials to become the foundation of the prb posed institution. The appointment of that Com mittee proves, in fact, the want of a duly constituted Chamber of Commerce, whose Committee of Manage ment would possess adequate power and authority to enforce such rules and regulations as might from time to time be found requisite for the common go o d. They would be at once enabled to establish order and regularity, as well as better dispatch, not only in the manner of conducting business upon 'Change, but, where it is much more wanted, namely, in the pm duce market;—and in such matters astherecent defal cations in coffee and the Custom-house frauds. TlMES.—Owing to the supineness of those 'par ties whose duty it is to protect the public against such frauds, trade lotteries, like that of the London Friendly Union, are multiplying all over the metro polis. One of these "distributions," as they are mo destly termed, has just taken place in the heart of the City. The nominal value of the goods " distributed" was 1,250/. ; the number of tickets 9,000, at 2s. 6d. each; the prizes —one of 151. value, three of 104 eight of 51., twelve of 41., twenty of 3/.., 100 of ]1 , 150 of 10s., 1,000 of 5 5 ., 2,000 of as., 5,681 o f The articles, Sheffield and Birmingham ware, of which the prizes consisted, are stated to have been of the most inferior kind, probably not worth one-third. of the value affixed to them ; and assuming, therefore, that the lottery was fairly drawn (a very questionable - point) the gain to the projectors must have - been about 8001., while at least 8,000 of the tickets utUst have been returned to the dupes .by whom they have been purchased, in the shape of sixpenny or fourpenny articles, of no use. The civic authorities, apparently, do not deem these matters within their province, but the Government does possess the means, and ought to possess the inclination, to check practices which injure the honest tradesman, encourage a vicious spirit of gambling in the weak and thoughtless, and enrich the designing knave. A Correspondent who has re quested that public attention may be again directedt to this subject says, that four other such lotteries are DOW in progress in different parts of the City. POST.—Letters from Berlin mention that It is proposed by th e G overnment there to defray ttie cost of the railroad s p ro j ecte d for the various pP:,ts of 16,1 Prussian domi n i ons b y an issue of pa • cover the entir e amount. The sum. Per money to quired for th e purpose i s estimated'', a b out 8 0 ,000,000 re t h - ° t will be Prussian thalers. No lArtkuk.rs are given of the probable character of the papp-,.. issue in question, but it will, it is assuraeit eon 9 ".st of Treasury notes, and therefore be limited ttl '4 local circulation.

VISIT OF TILE COURT TO BRIGIITON.—Mr. Saun ders, the Inspector of Palaces, left 'Windsor yesterday morning for Brighton, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements at the Pavilion for the recep tion of the Court.

MAIL-CART SNOWE D UP.—in order to prove that winter in the north has • " come in like a " roaring lion," we need only 'mention that on Wednesday morning last the mail -cart which runs between the towns of Alston. and Penrith, in Cumberland, by reason of the tempestuousness of the wind, and the great depth of snow, was C 6 llTletely drifted up on a bleak part of the road on Cross oell. V The postman being unable to proceed further, with great difficulty managed to dis engage the home, which was nearly done up, from its trappings ; he mounted it, and leaving the cart, came on with the bags. After a stormy and dangerous journey he arrived at Penrith two hours or more behind his usual time, thereby losing a post for the letters which were destined for London by the morn ing mails. It is rumoured in legal circles that, in consequence of the declining state of his health, the 'veteran Lord Lyndhurst will shortly retire from th e woolsack, which his 'brilliant talents have so pre-eminently. adorned, 'and that he will be succeeded pro tem. by Lord A',linger, now Lord Chief Baron, who will shortly, afterwards retire in favour of Sir William Folle'it. These changes will involve the elevation of the present Attorney -General to the dignity of Chief Baton, and, in all probability the promotion of Mr. Fi+_zroy Kelly and Mr. Cresswell Creswell. —Morning • Pape); Dr. Charming, t he ce l e brated essayist, we rcgret to say, is at 13i nn i ng t ou i n the State of Vermont, in an YorA Paper excesain-i -y debilitated state.--New . in, net to re- e- tr ot• )St be ai be rs ,d !le is l ~r C' :11 ,d re t s ' , to
