LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCELLOR'S COURT, York, Jan. 18. (Before the Worshipful GRANVILLE HARCOURT Vt:a .. NON, Chancellor.) The court was crowded to hear the following case. 'which has excited th , greatest interest in this city and county: — THE OFFICE OF JUICE PROMOTED BY BIJUDER v. HALE. Dr. R. Phillimore and Mr. Travis were advocates, and Mr. Askwith proctor for the promovent ; Mr . Blanshard, advocate, and Mr. Mills, proctor, for the de fondant. The prayer of the promovent was that the Judge pronounce that the promovents proctor had sufficiently proved the articles by him given in and admitted in this cause, on the part and behalf of Mr. John Burder, bis party, and that the Rev. Richard Hale, clerk, the party accused and complained of in this cause, may be canonically and duly corrected and punished accord ing to the exigency of the law, and be also condemned in costs. Dr. PHILLIMORE proceeded to state that this was a case in which the office of judge was promoted by let ters of request to the Chancellor of this Court, and trans • mated by Joh❑ Burder, of No. 27, Parliament-street, Westminster, against the Rev. Richard Hale, vicar of the vicarage and parish church of Harewood, in the diocese of Ripon and province of York, and also rector of the parish of Goldsborough, in the same diocese and pro vince, in answer to certain articles touching his soul's health and the lawful correction and reformation of his manners and excesses; and more especially for that he bad caused great scandal to the church by his irreverent and unseemly conduct in the pulpit, both before and during the time of preaching his sermon, and also by quarrelling, chiding, and brawling by words - during such times in the parish church of Harewood. These letters of request were sent on the 17th of July, 1847, and the cause progressed through the Yariotes stages. The Learned Advocate then went in detail through the articles, twenty - two in numb er, ,hid against the defendant, from which we gather the following history of the case:—ln 1801, on the 13th of August, Mr. Hale was inducted to the vicarage of Hare wood by the then Archbishop of York, which vicarage was then in the diocese and province of York, but is now in the diocese of Ripon. On the 18th of November, 'lBO3, Mr. Hale was inducted to the rectory of Golds borough, by the Bishop of Chester. The sixth article chaste" that during the past two years (that is, the two rears previous to the date of the letters of request, July 17, 1847), Mr. Hale, being wholly regardless of the sacredness of the place and of his duty in the perform. ance of the divine offices, had been in the habit, in the • church at Harewood, of making offensive personal re marks and observations in a chiding, quarrelling, and brawling manner, on many of his parishioners, by which he bad caused great scandal to the church and caused many of his parishioners to abstain from attending the church. The 7th alleged that during this period the defendant had introduced into his sermons divers grossly offensive observations against the Earl and Countess of Hare wood, by which they and their family had been driven from the church. The Bth stated that on the s th of November, 1845, a dinner was given at Harewood-house in celebration of the majority of Viscount Lascelles, the eldest son of Lord Harewood, at which the health of the Bishop and clergy was given, and thanks were returned by the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, one of the clergy of the diocese of Ripon; and it alleged that, on the following Sunday, Mr. Hale in the course of his sermon, alluded to that proceeding in words to this effect:—" I took up the paper the other day, and saw a long account of what has been going on during the week. I saw they toasted the Bishop of the diocese and the clergy, when one of my reverend brethren got up hiccupping drunk to r e turn thanks." The 9th article charged - Mr. Hale with having, on Sunday, March 1, 1846, used the follow ing words in a brawling manner, viz , " While I am mi nister of this parish I consider myself responsible for the Protestant worship in this church. I have observed lately some persons bowing and curtseying when pro nouncing the name of Jesus; it it continues I shall take it as a personal insult, and will find occasion to expose them publicly before this congregation." By the 10th article Mr. Hale was charged that he, a few days after the above circumstance, sent the following letter to Joshua and Mary Ann Barrett:—" Mr. Hale is very jealous of any Popish customs being introduced into the Protestant worship of his church ; and as the making bows or curtsies at the same of Jesus is one of those, and has no authority from Scripture or the Prayer• book, he shall fed. it his duty to notice in the church those who in defiance of his admonitions per sist in observing them. Mr. Hale hopes that the perusal of the enclosed tract will convince Mr. and Mrs. Bar rett of the impropriety of such customs." The 13th articles alleges that on Sundry, the 15th day of March, in the same year, Viscount Lascelles and the lion. Arthur Lascelles attended Harewo al Church with a troop of yeomanry, of which they were in command; that during his sermon Mr. Hale made a personal attack upon the said Viscount Lascelles and the Hon. Arthur Lascelles, in these words:—" I have got you here in the pew, and now I will lash you ;" and that during the sermon Mr. Hale made many offensive, abusive, and unseemly obser vations upon the Earl of Hare wood and his family. One of these was—" You are tawdry-laced, jacketed jackanapes and popinjays." The 16th article alleged that, on the same Sunday (March 29), the defendant, addressing his congregation, - and alluding to Mrs. Barrett; said, " I see that woman still continues to insult me by bowing to the name of Jesus. Where is her modesty, I ask, whsn she knows a hundred heads are turned to look at her? A saucy, pert intruder — where is her husband's authority? But I doubt that already the grey mare has become the bstter horse." The 18th article alleged that on Sunday, the 17th of the said month of January, during the preaching of his sermon, defendant feequently referred to John Gregery Smi:h, then present, as "his friend the reporter;" and in an angry tone remarked, " Are your pencils ready sharpened? Take ie down. Bray it in your mortar and send it off to head-quarters. You will get your reward —perhaps a lunch, with a ham and a bottle of port wine; no bad things either ; they are not to be laughed at. You can take your garbled notes in one pocket, and a gallipot in the other." And again, on referring to the Apostle Peter denying our Lord, defendant turned to Mr. Smith's pew, and said with great emphasis that he - was "a lying scoundrel." Dr. P•nillimore then referred to the responsive allegations of the defendant, in which he denied many of the expressions attributed to him, and "explained others in a way to deprive them of the in decorous character attributed to them in the articles. The Learned Doctor animadverted in terms of severity on the conduct of the rev. defendant, the fruit of whose forty-five years' incumbency had been the establishment of five Dissenting chapels amongst a population of 2,000 - parishioners, and concluded by calling on the Court to - pronounce such a sentence of lengthened suspension as should teach Mr. Hale his duty, and protect his parishio ners from the insults to which they had been exposed. Mr. BLANSLIARD was heard at considerable length on behalf of Mr. Hale, after which the Court adjourned to the following day. On Friday the CHANCELLOR declared that in his opinion a case had been made out against Mr. Hale upon some of the articles, and he sentenced him to be suspended from his ministration for six m.;nths ; that he be condemned in the costs of the suit ; and that he be admonished to refrain for the future ix ous the practices alleged against him. INSOLVENT' DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 20. LIBEL—IN RE JAMES HENRY CHAPPELL. The ia.olvkTrit, an American, was oppoed by Mr. Cooke, fa- Mr, Minister, habitmaker to her Majesty, for damages awarded in an action for libel. It appeared that the amount of damages awarded was 405., and the costs of tie action were up,vards of 1001. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in giving judgment, said the Court was governed by the amount given ; and, acting on that principle, the eve was not an aggravated one. It was further complained that the insolvent had Made away with his property. The judgment was that, for the damages, the insolvent In - , remanded fir three months, and for disposing of his property, for four calendar months. The ,judgments are concurrent from the 28th el November, when the vesting order was made. IN RE CHRISTOPHER BELL. • The insolvent, armoury keeper in the Tower, applied to be discharged. The insolvent , it appeared, had beenft V ish enough to accept accommodation bills, whi c h had pri,on.

Mr. Dowsff appealed for immediate protection-to an insolvent who had just filed his petition. According to the usual practice, the protection would not be issued until Monday, and he had an affidavit showing that an execution was out either a gainst his person or p ro p ert y . There property, e was some and,if it was riot protected, would be seized by the execution creditor. The Cuixv granted an immediate Comtismunder the cir-unis'ances 2,11.11, • • protection. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL . The Court of Criminal Appeal sat on Saturday in the Exchequer Chamber. Thy following Judges consti tuted the Court :—Lord Chief Justice Denman, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Baroin Alderson. QUEEN V. SARAH WATERS. • • The prisoner in this ease was found guilty of having ' caused the death of an infant illegitimate child of which she had been delivered. It appeared that she placed the child upon a heap of ashes, and left it there -exposed, by which expoiure its death was occasioned. 'There were two questions reserved by Mr. Baron Rolte, who tried the case, but the only one upon which the ar gument turned was whether the age of the child had been properly described in the indictment, it being a l_ leged that, in order to prove that leaving exposed upon the ashes was an unlawful act, it was necessary t 3 show that the child was of tender age. . Mr. CLARKE, Who appeared on the part of the Crown (the prisoner was unreprestaited) contended that the age of the person was immaterial so long as it was alleged that the act done had been the came of his death. Mr. Baron .ALDERSoN said, if the plrty were twenty years of age it would not be unlawful to leave hiin so exposed, although it would be unlawful ta knock him • down. But if the party a ere of tead,r years, for in -. stance, an infant, the act alleged would have been ilk gal, and therefore it WAS necessary that the age should be stated. TiteCpArt, h o wever, took time to con,ider their de r • !Valdn. \ • • - .: ----- .._ ft---"-c,e-----_ -•; 4 - ~,.. QIIE . EN v.

There were two counts to the indictment, one charging with stealing, and the other with secreting, and the jury found that the defendant having committed a mistake whilst sorting the letters, secreted them in a water-closet, in order to avoid the penalty which such a mistake might subject him to. The question, therefore, was, whether this verdict amounted to the act of stealing; and the Learned Counsel contended that it could not,:and that it simply amounted to an act of constructive larceny. The property was in the honest possession of the priso ner, and it did not appear that the secreting was with the intention of taking the entire dominion over the pro- perty out of the hands of the Post-office authorities. Supposing, for instance, a servant were to take a book from a library, and having injured or defaced it, were to put it into the fire to prevent its being found out. would it not be an unusual stretch o f the law to find him guilty of larceny? Mr. Baron ALDEJesoN—There is no doubt about it being a secreting, and I have a strung opinion that it is a stealing also.—(Laughter.) Mr. BALLANTYNE apprehended, however, that there was no lucri causi in the case, because it could not be imputed from the term " secreting " that he intended to destroy the properiy or to sep arate the possession of it entirely from the owner. Lord DENMAN said the Act of Parliament applied to persons who had dealings with Post-offic, letters, and who had a most important trust reposed in them, placing at times almost all the property of the country in their hands, and, theretore, they were not placed in the posi tion of ordinary thieves and robbers. If a letter were secreted for any purpose whatever, it amounted to larceny; and it appeared to him that the indictment was perfectly good under the statute, and that the stealing had been satisfactorily proved. The other Judges concurring, the conviction was af firmed. QUEEN V. ALLEN. In this case, which had been reserved by Mr. Baron Rolfe, the Court decided that the conviction was good. QUEEN V. HOLLOWAY. The Court, in this case, which was reserved from the .ast Liverpool Sessions, were of opinion that there was no larceny committed by the defendant. The conviction was, therefore, annulled. QUEEN V. GEORGE READ. This case was tried at the Surrey Sessions, and a ver dict of guilty found against the defendant for a criminal assault upon a child. After hearing counsel on both sides, The Court held that the conviction was wrong. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Smith and Thomas Ashby, two well known mem bers of the " swell mob," were placed at the bar by Ser geant Wicher, a detective officer, charged with com mitting a robbery at the shop of Mr. Jones, jeweller and silversmith, 432, West Strand. The prisoner Smith, being observed looking about the Strand, was watched by the officer, who saw him join the other, and after a short conversation they entered the prosecutor's shop, where they remained only a few minutes. They then proceeded up the Haymarket, and having gone into a public-house the witness followed, and having asked Ashby had he not lately returned from Bristol, he replied that he had not, upon which they were conveyed in a cab to Scotland-yard, and on Smith was found 6s. ltd., in addition to a shilling of the reign of the good Queen Bess, in excellent preservation, which is supposed to have been stolen. In Ashby's coat-pocket were found some gold pins, and a halfdozen of silver-bladed knives, which the pro secutor identified as his property, which had been stolen from his shop. They were ordered to be remanded, to give time for further inquiries, Alfred Guest and Joseph Smith, two yonng men, were charged on their own confession with breaking open a desk belonging to Messrs. Bradshaw and Knowles, house-decorators and painters, of Birmingham, from which they stole the sum of 251. The prisoners applied at the station-house to see the inspector on duty, when they informed him of the rob bery, expressing a wish to surrender themselves to justice, adding that when they possessed themselves cf the money they came to town, and after wandering about for some days fell in with a few nymphs in Ship yard, Temple-bar, who eased them of the few pounds they still had. They were ordered to be remanded until Tuesday next. ROBBERY IN THE VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—A tall, dark•complexioned, middle-aged man, who refused to give his name or address, was brought up, charged with picking pockets in Vice-Chancellor Shadwell's Court, Lincoln's Inn. The prisoner was pointed out to Mr. Uxley, a law student, by a barrister's clerk, as having stolen his hand kerchief, and before he could procure a constable, seeing him stop another clerk, with w hom he spoke femiliarly, he asked about him, and was told that he bore a very indifferent character, upon which he gave him in charge, when it was discovered that another gentleman had had his pocket also picked. The prisoner, whose name was Wimbush, and who has been convicted at the Central Criminal Court, and sea tenced to eighteen months' imprisonment for the rob bery of a casket of jewellery of the value of 1601., was remanded till Wednesday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Alexander Mackenzie, son of Captain Mackenzie, who Kas found in a starving state in the street by the Mendicity Society's officers, and brought to this court as a vagrant, came to thank \lr. Hardwick for the assistance afforded to him in his destitute condition. The young men's case, it will be recollected, came before the public through the pubiic press, and this led to an immediate clue to his relatiuns, who are of great resrec tabi!ity. The young man's appearance was so much changed as hardly to allow him to be again recognised. tits rags were replaced by decent clothes, and he appeared otherwise comfortably taken care of. Mr. HARDWIcx handed the young man a 5/ note and three sovereigns, as the balance of donations from chari table individuals who had seen a report of his case. The young man expressed himself deeply grateful for all that had been done for him. A person from the firm of Romford and Co., East India agents, who accompanied the youg man into court, inti mated that the uncle of the young man had given such orders respecting his nephew as would enable his em ployers, when the young man was sufficiently recovered, to tied him suitable employment. Jane Evans, an elderly woman, dressed very respec tably, was brought before Mr. ilardwick, charged with having given a false character to a servant for the pur pose of getting the party into the service of Alfred Bat son, Esq., of 20, Bedford place, Russell-square. Mrs. Batson stated that en th; 9th instant, being in want of a servant, a footman, named James Cripps, came and offered himself. The man referred to a Mrs. Stephenson, No. 7, Duke-street, Portland place, who would give him a good character. He also said if a written character was preferred, Mrs. Stephenson, who was then at her country residence, would send one. The man said Mrs. Stephenson lived at Enfield Lodge, near Reading. Witnt ss said she would call on Mrs. Ste pliensen, and the man then left the house, and the next day caked again to say that Mrs. Stephenson would be in toe n the lullowieg day at three o'clock. Witness went to Duke-street at the time appointed, and was intro duced into the parlour, where she saw the prisoner, who pays d herself off as Mrs. Stephenson. Witness inquired about the character of Cripps, and the prisoner replied had laved with her more than two years; that he was sobs r, steady, honest, and a thoroughly goad servant.. From these representations she engaged the lulu as butler. Witness had not proceeded many yards from the house, when a person came up to her and said she had received a false character, and that the police were then at No. 7, Duke-street, the house she had just t, and that they would call on her in the evening. Mary Coleman, servant to Mrs. Williams, No. 7, Duke-street, identified the prisoner as the person who had hired the parlours in her mistress's house. The prisoner said et the time that she wanted them for two hours a day te see her friends in, as she did not like to go to an hotel. Police sergeant 65 E said, from information he had, he went to No. 7, Duke street, and hid himself in the back parlour. He had not been there long before the prisoner and another woman came into the front parlour. The prisoner took a dress cap from a small box and put it on. The other woman also put on a cap and apron. The prisoner took some rouge and painted her face. About twenty minutes afterwards a carriage drove up, and two ladies got out, and were introduced to the prisoner. Witness heard the prisoner give Cripps an excellent character. Witness afterwards went to Reading, but could find no such place as Enfield Lodge, nor was there a person named Stephenson residing anywhere near Reading. ° `.l a n un F t r o i n d - a p y l a n i ghtc , Regent's he heard that the prisoner was at gent's Park, and having obtained a warrant for her apprehension, ho went there and took her into custody. The prisoner said the lady was quite mistaken about her identity. She had never seen the lady before, had never given Cripps a character, nor had she ever been in a house in Duke-street. Mr. Hannevicie said he was satisfied, from the evi dence, that the prisoner had given a false character to a person, with the object of procuring himainpg fal se eh a•. fam ily of Mr. Batson. The practice of giving ratters might lead to so much evil, as parsons of bad character might thus obtain admission into respectable families for the purpose of committing robberies, th at it could not be too strongly repressed by the power of the 1a w . Nobody could i cr o ed r i t t h h r e e r e m de e n e i t a h l, s, a i n m d p h ri e se s n h m ou en ld t: therefore, fine her 20 e deal f there h w e t e h w t e h r e e m a n a y f t e other c s a e snetse sentence swhiothulhdabred plarehpoaurre;datroid had expired. were nu merous cases of the same sort T to i) e police b ie r e o u s a g i h d t t f h o7t e e ard.

No further contributions were received at this court on Saturday, an intimation to the above effect being made to two or three who attended for that purpose. Sh rtly before the closing of the court a genteel and rather pretty looking girl, who gave her name Mary Ann Ilumpstead, was placed in the felon's dock, charged with stealing a shawl, value 48. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JAN CARY 22, 1849. Hannah Hussey, a charwoman, stated that she went out to a day's work on the last Thursday in the old year, at 34, New Peter-street, Westminster, and hung her shawl on the balusters of that house, and when she was about to leave at eight discovered it had been stolen. On Saturday afternoon her little girl was in St. James's Park, when she observed the prisoner wearing her mo ther's shawl. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody, but she stated that she had the shawl from a young man named Cooper, who was paying his addresses to her. This fact was fully established. Cooper was taken into custody, and the young woman having been liberated, her evidence was taken against her sweetheart, who was remanded. Cooper, it appears, has been previously convicted of felony. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Shepherd and Miss Vincent, the lessees of the Surrey Theatre, were summoned before Mr. Seeker for unlawfully selling wino and spirits in the saloon of that theatre, not being duly licensed according to law. The court was densely crowded by members of the metropo litan theatres and publicans to hear the case. Mr. H. B. Roberts appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hum phreys for the defendants. Mr. Roberts said he appeared on behalf of Mr. Harris, the landlord of the Equestrian Tavern, Blackfriars-road, who brought the present case before the public for the protection of the trade in general. The Acts of Par liament under which the present proceedings were insti tuted were the 6th and 7th and Bth of George IV., which rendered the defendants liable to a penalty of 1001. He then called Benismin J. Eling, an officer of Excise, attached to the office in Blackfriars-road. On the evening of the 26th of December he went to the Surrey Theatre, and in the saloon there he heard several persons call for gin and water, which they were served with by a female named Payne. Witness called for a glass of sherry, which was supplied by the same person, who received sixpence for it. The liquor and wine were served openly at a counter, and there was no secresy in the sale. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys—Mr. Harris made a complaint in the first instance to the supervisor of the distract, and by the orders of the latter witness went to the theatre. Witness reported the circumstances to the supervisor, who communicated with the Commissioners, who refused to prosecute, but placed every facility in the way of Mr. Harris. Knew Mr. Payne. He was licensed as a wholesale dealer of wine and spirits, but not as a retailer. Mr. Humphreys here contended that the summons must be dismissed, inasmuch as it was taken out contrary to the 7th and Sth George IV., which Act specified,that all actions and proceedings in a court of law must have the sanction of the Commissioners of Excise, her Ma jesty's Attorney-General, or Solicitor-General. Now, the board had refused, and, consequently, the summons was null and void. Mr. Roberts contended that the summons was quite regular. Mr. Humphreys admitted that his clients were not licensed, but still contended that the magistrate had no power in the present case. Mr. SEcKEn overruled the objection. Mr. Roberts then called Robert Last, another Excise officer, who corroborated the evidence of Mr. Eling, and proved being supplied by Mrs. Payne with a glass of brandy, for which he paid 6d. Mr. Roberts said, after such evidence, the magistrate could not but convict in the case. He was instructed, however, to ask for the smallest penalty that could be inflicted, as the matter was only brought forward to put a stop to the system. His client had been a great sufferer, having to pay a heavy rent and a large sum for his license, and was therefore justified in what he had done. Mr. Humphreys, in answer to the charge, said he was certain the summons could not stand. The saloon had been let to Mr. Payne, who was licensed as a wholesale dealer, and who, he contended, was justified in accom modating the public at a theatre. If a conviction took place the public would be deprived of refreshments at places of amusement, and the consequence would be that concert-rooms at public-houses would have the advantage. Mr. BECKER said the case was clearly made out, and he must convict the defendants. It was positively stated in the Act oF Parliament that every retailer of wines and spirits must be provided with a license. His im pression was that nothing of the kind had been done, consequently he should fine the parties 3/. ls., which would enable Mr. Humphreys to appeal if he thought proper. Mr. Humphreys said he intended to appeal.

On the 25th of October last, the extensive works for the conveyance of water from lake Cochituate (or Koo-chee-awa, an aboriginal term for " clear, beautiful water,") to Boston, a distance of nearly twenty miles by the usual route, were so nearly completed that the water was formally let on with great ceremonial, through an ornamental fountain at Boston common, when it imme diately sprung to a height of nearly 80 feet, amidst the gratulations of an immense multitude, assembled from all parts of the state of Massachusetts, and even of new England throughout. The day was one of jubilee, opening with the sound of bells and cannon, foll:)wed by military reviews, and civilian pro cessions through triumphal arches, and closing with the spectacle of fireworks and illuminated foun'ains. The undertaking was begun only two years and two months befoke, and was deemed one of peculiar difficulty. The culvert is a brick oval in hydraulic cement, 6 feet 4 inches in height, and nearly 15 miles in length, extending only from the late gatehouse, which is of granite, to Brookline, where it ends in a reservoir of granite, whence the water is carried through cast-iron pipes to the town reservoirs. The other works in masonry are chiefly in granite, plain, but substantial. From the reservoirs at Boston, the water will be forced by its own pressure through the highest building in the city. One of them will contain two weeks'.supply, while the aqueduct is capable of discharging more than can millions of gallons a day. The small pipes, which are to be run into each house at the public expense, are of lead ; and as the water is said to be of remarkable purity, it is to be hoped that the prudence of thus using a metal so apt to be acted on by the water in the direct ratio of its purity has been well tested. About three millions of dollars have been expended on these works, and about half a million more will be requisite. The town lands, it is said, will redeem the whole expense in a few years, independent of the rate charged to individuals, which is to be a very low one, till altogether withdrawn, as it is intended ultimately to be, if not deemed requisite as a source of increased income to the city. The chief engineer of the main division of the works, namely, between the lake and Brookline, was Mr. E. S. Chesbrough, of Newton; resident engineer, Mr. Miliean.—The Builder. THE ARMY AND NAVY (From the United Service Gazette.) It is understood that Captain Fitzroy will not hoist the pendant on board the Arrogant, 46, screw.frigate, at Portsmouth, before the President, 50, arrives from the Cape to be paid off. The Arrogant will have the os a t s at the on eteh a e P of r 3i e d da e ii tl nie sailing ha, gr a and ne da4os:t anda o m ffi nc be e r , s tried with and underms a e m n e , c a o a n m l d l p e w e u n m g t the Terrible steam-frigate. THE NAVAL AITRENTICES.--AbOut One hundred of the Naval Apprentices—fifty from the Rolla, at Ports mouth, and fifty from the Nautilus, at Devonport—will shortly be dratted into seagoing ships. These fine boys will not be made loplollies and drudges, but will do sea men's duty in the tops of our , men-of-war F in sT Lori's LEVEES.—rhe new First Lord of the s wlyn as ot soon as possible, begin before next Admiralty will comme nce making a person a l acquaint abnuctewweitbheltiehveeOthffiactetrhseolfevtheee Nil month. HEAD•QUARTERS—ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.— It is we understand, in contemplation to make Chat ham the head-quarters of t his corps, by an amal gamation of the two establishment?, Woolwich and Chatham. We have reason to believe that the subject has been under mature consideration for some time past. and was even proposed many years back by Captain, now Major-General Sir C. 575 W. Pasley, when Director of the Royal Engineer Es- ' tablishment. The Service requires that something of the kind should take place; and whether looking at it as a financial or military measure, the advantages are two obvious to be doubted. The circumstance of two separate establishments being kept up for the Corps has always appeared to us very inconsistent. Lieutenant Powell holds his commission in his pocket without the permission to hoist the pendant in the Janus steam-vessel, at Woolwich, to be fitted for service at Gibraltar. A screw steamer launch, to be decked, and to be propelled by a four-horse engine, high pressure, is to be fitted for the Janus, which boat is to be con stantly employed, when the Janus is required at Gibral tar, in cruising on the Barbary coast. ADMIRALTY.--SOMERSET HOUSE.—The following promotions and appointments in the department of the Surveyor of the Navy have taken place during the past week; they are consequent on the death of Mr. Wilson, late the Chief Draughtsman.—Mr. T. Waterman pro moted to be Senior Draughtsman, at 3501. per annum, vice Wilson, who had 5001. per annum; Mr. James t)raff promoted to be Second Draughtsman, a* 2501. per annum, vice Waterway, whose sllary was ; Mr. William Heridge promoted to he Third Draugh,s man, at 1701 per annum, vice Graff ; and Mr. R. Lew cock, from Sheerness Dockyard, has b.2en established as Fourth Draughtsman, at 1501. per annum. Thus it will be seen that by these promotions a redaction has been made in salaries of the Draughtsmen in the Sur veyor's Department of 3301. per annum, whilst Mr. &lye, the late " Chief Draughtsman " to the Sur ' veyor, has had his salary increased from 6501. to 800/. per annum. If reduction was imperative, surely it ought to have comme nced on the highest salaries. The new regulations have just been issued for grant , ing pensions to seamen and marines for wounds and long service, much to their advantage. The new ratings of , petty officers have also been practically established. The captains of the aftorguard are now to be first-class petty officers.

The Constitutionnel states that all voluntary enrol ments in the navy have been suspended, and furloughs are readily granted, with a view to diminish the ex penses of this branch of the public force. M. de Chabaud Latour, first aide-de-camp of the late Duke of Orleans and of the Count de Paris, has been named director of the fortifications at Amiens. HANOVER. The Post Ampt Gazette, of Frankfort, mentions an on dit, that Hanover has given notice of its in tention to put an end to its commercial treaty with the United States, in order to enter the German Customs Union. HAMBURGH. JAN. 16.—The current of the Alster has rendered the ice in the harbour so insecure that there is open water in several places, and, ere long, barges will be able to cros. As the Reihersteig begins to be un safe in consequence, the passage across to Harburg is chiefly confined to the Kohlbrand, which is pleasant and secure. lIARBCRG, JAN. IG.—The Koh'brand is no longer considered eecure ; the mails and passengers have, consequently, proceeded across Wilhelmsburg. At Mekefeld and here, near the railway stations, the dykes have been broken in at several places on the Seeve, by which the neighbouring country has been under water. STADE, JAN. 15, NOON.—At Brunshansen the Elbe, as far as the eye can reach, is completely covered with a thick coating of drifting ice, and can not be passed. OTTENDORF, JAN. 16, FORENOON.—The channel is completely free of ice, and navigable ; wind N.W. C►JXHAVEN, JAN. 16.—The channel is free from ice.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Jan. 16. SWEDEN. The Baltic journal (Ostsee Zeitung) of yestetday, in a letter from Elsimore, Jan. 9, states that intern. gence has been received by a courrier coming from Sweden, that a fearful conflagration was raging at Gothenburgh. The direct Swedish Mail has not ar rived. Intelligence from Copenhagen of the 13th does not mention it. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST. An Austrian courier, who has arrived here, has brought the intelligence that the Hungarian army, shut in on every side by the Imperial troops, will be driven to the Carpathian mountains, and that the authorities of the principality must cons( quently, adopt measures for the security of the frontiers.— Journal du Commerce. RU SSIAN -POLAND. PosEN, JAN. 12.—1 t is very remarkable that re•• ports continue to be received from the Russian-Polish boundaries, which are quite unanimous on an in tended invasion of Russia, whereas it is as serted, on the other hand, that the most friendly relations continue to subsist between the Russian and Prussian Cabinets. We have again received intelligence from the frontier, that the Russian Boundary Customs have received private orders to be in a state of readiness to advance, with the whole of their superintending officers, in propor• tion as the Russians continue to cross the Prussian frontier. An important measure is about to be introduced into the Legislature of Posen—trial by jury, and a perfect, acquaintance with the two national languages by the jury, the judge, and the lawyers, in order that the cases may be carried on without interpreters. ITALY. The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 9th, states that on the 6th a numerous meeting of electors took place in the large hall of the Palace of Mount Citorio. An Electoral Committee was named, composed of twenty four members, among whom we may notice Bonaparte, Caraffa, and Brunetti (Cicernacchio). The Electoral Committee immediately published a circular enjoining the Citizens to elect men of well-known and unflinch ing liberal opinions. A catechism for the instruction of the people was to be published immediately. The Alba of the 12th announces that the Conser vative deputies of the Chamber of Tuscany have held a preparatory meeting, in which they have decided to resign in mass, if the slightest attempt at intimidation be practised against them, and then to address a ma nifesto to the electors for the purpose of protesting against such violence. A letter from Brescia states that on the sth an or duneir of the sing day w the soldiers re s s as ad peetdoythe recommencement ni tr e o n o t ps n , f phrno s- tilities ; and that Piedmont will be attacked on three points, and the army be victoriously led to Turin.

The stocks of millers and dealers being low, a fair extent of business, in retail quantities, was done in free wheat and flour, at lull prices. Several parcels of bonded wheat have changed hands since Tuesday, and prices have an improved ten dency. No sellers of Western Canal flour, in bond, under 25s 6d; there are still buyers at 255. Oats were held more firmly, but not many were w.mted. Oatmeal was scarcely so good as on Tuesday. Barley, beans, and peas were unaltered in value. Indian corn met a fiir sale for Ireland, and brought about the same prices as last market day, viz., 28s to 29s for American white and mixed, and 30s per 4801 b for round and flat yellow corn. Prices remlin without change to-day, and there is not much passing in the trade. Indian corn is in better de mand than yesterday. N. d.

With tiu, exception of 9,571 loads of oatmeal, the arrivals from Irelund at Liverpool end Runcorn are on a very moderate scale, whilst those coastwise are scanty in the extreme. From abroad, however, we have again to notice large supplies of wheat, Indian corn, and flour. _ At our market this morning wheat barely supported the currency of this day se'nnight. Flour was exceedingly difficult of sale, and in the little business passing it was necessary to submit to lower prices that were obtainable in the early part of the week. Oats declined Id per 451 b; and oatmeal, being in limited request, must be noted is per load lower. READING, JAN. 20.—The attendance of - dealers and agriculturists this morning was rather scanty, and the supply of wheat even smaller than that of last week. Still, strange to say, the demand was not equal to the reduced qu.tlity offered, and only a part was cleared very slowly at last Saturday'. rates. Of barley there was a fair supply, and the few good samples brought quite as much money, while inferior descrtpdons were full Is lower. In oats, be,ns, and peas, the transactions were on a limited scale at previous rates.
