Witness told her to undress, which she did, when witness saw blood on her clothes. Wit ness said to the prisoner, " You are unwell," to which she replied, " She was." Witness then came down stairs and told her sister of 'Jilt illness of the prisoner. Witness again went up, but nothing passed between her and the prisoner. Saw the prisoner again the next morning, and in a band-box in her room, under a bonnet, she discovered the dead body of a child. Her sister was in the room at the time, and exclaimed, " Oh ! Ellen, how could you do such a thing as that," to which the prisoner made no reply. Up to the time of the prisoner's being taken ill she had done her usual work, and there was nothing in her appearance to show she was with child. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner only came to witness's brother'S house on the 17th of October. " Her brother. in-law had taken the prisoner into their service from her previous good conduct in her last place. Ann Long recollected going to Mr. Pratt's house on Friday, the 21st October. Went up stairs to the prisoner's room. She appeared to be unwell; and upon witness asking her how long she had been so, she answered nearly two months. IVitness observed spots nn the floor, which :induced her to ask the question. Witness was with the prisoner the whole of Friday night, and on the following morning a search being made, the body of the . etigiVi74 . :discovered in ber /6nd-box, Saw no marks of violence on the body of the child. Saw. something round its neck like a dark piece of ribbon, but witness could not tell what it was, The - lips and right side of the face appeared black. The body was cold. Mr. Green, a surgeon at Camberwell, was called in to see the prisoner, and found her unwell, but he did not think at that time that she had been delivered of a child. On discovering the body of the child its countenance appeared distorted ; a piece of green ribbon was turned several times round the neck tight. On examining the child, the lungs appeared partially inflated, the heart in a healthy state, and there was every appearance to denote that the child had been born alive. Witness had no doubt that the prisoner had recently been delivered of a child. On the cross-examination of this witness by Mr. Clarkson, he stated that the ligature might have been placed about the neck of the child by the prisoner, for the purpose of aiding herself, not having any other assistance; and all the marks described by him would have existed from the application of the ligature, whatever might have been the cause of its application. Inspector Walters produced the ligature found on The neck of the child. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON most feelingly addressed the Jury at considerable length on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up, and the Jury after a short consultation, found•the prisoner guilty of concealing the birth of the child. Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced her to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. STEALING LETTERS.— Wm. Taylor, who pleaded guilty in the early part of the day to an indictment, charging him with stealing a letter containing half a sovereign, the property of the Postmaster-General, and whose sentence the Learned Judge deferred, was now called up for judgment. Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced him two years' imprisonment and hard labour, observing that he at first doubted whether he ought not, consistently with his duty, to sentence him to transportation. Charles Williams alias George Thompson, 30, was indicted, for that he having been before convicted of uttering counterfeit coin, afterwards committed the offence of uttering counterfeit money. Mr. Ellis and Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecu tion. The case was of the ordinary description ; and it appeared that, in the month of January, 1840, the prisoner was tried at this Court, and convicted of the offence of passing counterfeit money, and he was sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. It was proved that the prisoner had since passed a counterfeit shilling. The Juiy found the prisoner guilty, and he was ordered to be transported for ten years. Charles Bowdon, 37, was charged with a capital offence upon Clara Tilley ; and Thomas Howard, 28, was charged with being an accessory to the comtnis.: sion of the offence. TV ORSHIP-S TREE T. Harriet Sttrgrove, a young lady of very interesting appearance, aged 22, was charged by her father, the Rev. John Surgrove, the Rector of St. Mary, So merset, Upper Thames -street, with having absconded from home, taking with her the whole of her ward robe, and also with having obtained goods in his name from different tradesmen. The Rev. Gentleman stated that he was under the . painful necessity of charging the defendant, who was his youngest daughter, with having absconded from home in company with his gardener, a young man named William Godfrey, and- with having, since her departure, obtained a variety of articles from different tradespeople on his account. On the morning of Sun day last he left her in charge of his house in Dalston , . terrace during his absence at church, and on return ing home in the afternoon he found that she had gone away, and had removed the whole of her wearing• apparel and everything belonging to her. Mr. BINGHAM inquired whether be had been in the habit of authorising his daughter to give orders for goods in his name, previously to this unhappy occurrence. COURT CIRCULAR. Cotton is in more request; prices, however, are heavy, and have a downward tendency. The sales to-day were about GOO bals,one-half of which was for export. . There is no material alteration in the sales at the Stock Exchange since the last accounts. The Earl of Haddington, and other Cabinet Minis ters had an interview with Sir Robert Peel y es t er d ay at his official residence in Downing-street. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing ;street. Dispatches from Sir Charles Bagot, Governor of Canada, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Sir George Cockburn visited Sir it. Peel yesterday. Dispatches for the Govsrnor of Ceylon were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office. LAW INTELLIGENCh. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 30. • THE QUEEN V. JOHN JONES. This was an indictment under the provisions of Hothouse's Vestry Act, against the churchwarden of the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields, for that he, having received a requisition signed by more than 50 rate-payers, requiring him to convene a meeting of rate-payers to consider the propriety of placing the parish under the provisions of the Act of Wm. IV., for the batter regulation of vestries, commonly called Hobhouse's Act, had not stuck notice of the same up at the chutch door as required by the provisions of the Act, and had thus prevented the sense of the pa rish being taken on the subject. • Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Colley stated the case for the prosecution ; and Mr. Ilumfrey argued the case for the defendant, contending that, according to the proviso in the Act, none of its provisions should extend to any parish which was not part of a city or town, unless the ratepayers of such parish should amount to 800 in number. the preseut instance. the bite-payers who. were examined in Court, proved that the number of rate-payers in the parish, in 1842, when the requisition was presented, amounted to 773 only, and he submitted that the parish did not form part of any city or town. The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, acquitted the defendant. BRUNATTI V. CIOZZOTTO. This was an action brought by an Italian inter SOUTH OF DEVON. f r o BE LET, for a term of years, an elegant MANSION, in the Elizabethan style, replete with every convenience, and suitable for the residence of a Noble• man or family of distinction, situate about eleven miles from Exeter and ' Torquay, seven miles from Teignmouth and Dawlis:-1, and one mile from the market and post town of Chudkigh. The tenant may be accommodated with any quantity of land not exceeding 170 acres. For further particula rs apply to Mr. Richard Comins, soli citor, 14, Lincoln's Inn-fields, where a drawing of the mansion, lawn, &c., may be seen. THE COURT. lir:1L111EIL CASTLE, TUESDAY, Nov. 29.—Her Majesty has not left the Castle during the day, in consequence, as I am informed, of having been again seized with a cold and face-ache. Sir James Clark, who, it was expected, would have left for town this morning, still remains. The Princess Royal was taken out fur an airing this morning, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Prince Albert rodh out this afternoon on horseback, attended by Colonel Wylde. The Royal dinner-party this evening will be confined exclusively to the members of the Royal household. Saturday next is now the day "named " for the de parture of the Court for Windsor ; but so many days have been "named" during the past week, that the period referred to is not to be relied upon. The complainant answered in the affirmative, and said that she was treated with the utmost indulgence in every respect. Mr. BINGIIAM said, that as a Magistrate he had no p )wer to deal with the case, and discharged the pri toner,: _who 'then left ebn rtwith -liter Itither. CORPORATION OF PLYMOUTH. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) PLYMOUTH, Nov. 29.—We have little of news stirring among us at present. The vacancy created by the bankruptcy of one of Sir James Graham's pet Magistrates, Mr. Joseph Linton, enabled us to win back one of the two seats we lost in the Municipal Council at the late elections, and at the same time re trieve the character of a ward which was supposed to be incurably affected with Toryism. One Tory will go out for this ward next year along with Mr. Derry, who is merely returned for the remainder of Mr. Linton's term. Ile will then be brought forward again, and I trust triumphantly along with another Liberal, and an effort will, I trust, be made in the other wards in which Tory vacancies occur, to strengthen the Liberal m a j or ity. I n D evonport the 1 Tories have gained a temporary ascendancy by the interference, on the part of the dock-yard officers. I heard that clerks were stationed at the various polling places, to watch the votes of the dock-yard men, and that a book is kept in th e y ar d, i n w hi c h every elector is registered, and followed by three columns, in which the degree of their political warmth is distinguished by appropriate marks. I shall endeavour to procure evidence of these facts, and communicate it to some honest representative of the people. Tuesday, the Archduke Frederick of Austria was occupied nearly two hours in going over the House of Correction, Tuthill-fields. His Imperial lEghness, at tended by Captain Fitzroy, R.N., and party, afterwards visited Newgate, and the Post-office, in St. Martin's-le- Grand. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, accompanied by Captain Fitzroy, R.N., and suite, visited, ,on Monday last, the establishment of Messrs. Clowes and Sons, Stamford-street, Blackfriars. His Royal Highness and suite took a lively interest in the operations of the different branches carried on, and expressed great gratification. THE WEST INDIA AND MEXICO MAILS.—The following notice was issued on Tuesday at St. Martin's le-Grand and the branch offices :--." The Clyde steamer for the West India mails for the Ist December (to-day), not being ready for sea, will be detained until the arrival of the post of Saturday, the 3d of December, at Falmouth. The Tay steamer arrived at Madeira on the evening of the 9th or morning of the 13th inst. ; she was prevented by a gale of wind from touching at Co runna." THE CHINESE WAR.—The following is an extract of a letter from that gallant officer Captain Hall, of the Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis, to a gentleman in this city, dated Nankin, August 31, 1842 :—" Now the war is happily o ver , I have time t o thi n k o f my old friends. Y es , th an k God, we have at last brought these fellows to respect the name of our noble coun try, and to speak of us with respect. They have been regularly beaten into it; and I feel proud and thank ful in having taken such an active part. The parti culars von must have seen and heard all about before this. yes, the Chinese know her well, they call her the devil ship, fire ship, and all sorts of names. Well, I do think myself truly glad to get out of it as I have. At Chapoo I had two of my men shot at my side; and the other day, at the taking of Woosung, one of my men had his right arm shot off, the arm chest near where I was standing shot to pieces, and fifteen shots struck us that day. I hope some of these days to give you all particulars myself; for the present, you must be content with this short scroll. Peace was signed on board the Cornwallis on the 29th instant. I was present, and a very interesting sight it was; and the day before I was at the top of the far famed Porcelain Tower, and had the pleasure of drinking the Queen's health and friends north of the Tweed. The sight was truly splendid. We rode out, about twenty-five of us, on Chinese horses, and had a good dinner there, and returned the same even ing to our outer advanced guard, where our artillery was. The latter are a fine set of fellows."—Caledonian Mercury. SUICIDE TIIROUGII DISTRESS.—TtIeSday morning Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the-Middlesex Hospi tal on the body of an aged glass stainer, named Joseph - Millet'. A gentleman's servant said that, as he was passing the end of Newman-mews, Oxford-street, he saw deceased in the act of cutting his throat with a razor. The witness instantly pinioned the arms of the deceased and forced him to throw away the razor. He asked deceased why he had attempted to destroy himself, when the latter said, " How can you ask me ? I did it from distress." As he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the throat, he was promptly con veyed to the above hospital, in which he died from mental depression and loss of blood. Mr. Tournerelli, a sculptor, of the Cornwall-road, Southwark, said that he had known deceased for the last fifty years, and had taken tea with him on Monday last, at his house in Golden-square. He then appeared of weak mind, and had been so for the last eight or nine months. A Post .moriem examination of the head of deceased showed a large effusion of serum on the surface and into the ventricles of the brain. Verdict—Temporary insanity. THE LATE DUKE OF ORLEANS.—The following description of a smoking divan, formed by the lamented Duke of Orleans, in his apartments of the Pavillon Marsan, at the Tuileries, is given by the Constitutionnel:—" This sanctuary was arranged in all the style of Oriental luxury. Here the Prince, dressed in an Asiatic•robe de chambre, pantaloons, and babouches, held his smoking parties. The saloon con tained a rich collection of pipes of all countries — hookahs from the East Indies; Egyptian and Arabian chibouques ; Turkish meerschaums; and Persian kalyhous, all enriched with pr ec i ous s t ones and rings of damaski work, and having mouth-pieces of the rarest amber. But though surrounded with all this splendid apparatus, the Prince and his friends con tented themselves with cigars. These cigars, how ever, were made of the choicest tobacco from Latakia, Beyrout, and Salonica, or of the celebrated herb of Shiraz, which the Shah of Persia reserves for his own use, and which never finds its way into Europe,'ex- prefer, to recover the sum of GOC Is., alleged to be due from the defendant, the captain of a Venetian po lacca, for work and labour done, and for money paid. The defendant pleaded that he had made various payments to the plaintiff, which, together with a sum of 171. 10s. 7d. paid into Court, made up a sum of 36/. 10s. 7d. which was all plaintiff was entitled to receive. Mr. Hoggins appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Watson for the defendant. For the plaintiff several witnesses were called, who proved that the plaintiff had acted as interpreter daily for the defendant, for about three months, and had paid some small sums as boat hire, and as tavern re konings, on his account. The plaintiff charged 105.6 d. a day for his labour as an interpreter, snd alleged he had been employed 84 days ; and a witness, named Mocada was called to prove that the charge was a reasonable one. On his cross-examination, however, he admitted th a t -h e hi mse lf was as good an inter preter as Brunatti, that the highest amount of remu neration he had ever received was 7s. 6d. a day, and 'that only on one occasion, and that on all other occa sions he had received only ss. a day. For the defendants, the clerk of Messrs. Pope, the ship-brokers to defendant's ship, was called to prove various payments made to plaintiff on defendant's ac• count, and a host of interpreters, who all swore that it was not usual to make any charge for interpreting, but to leave the question of remuneration to the gene rosity of the captain. The utmost ever given where a ship remained even for four or five months, was 101. The usual remuneration was 51. for the time the ship remained in port. It was proved also that plaintiff lived with the captain and took his meals with him, and that he had been paid Si. allowed by Lloyd's to the captain for an interpreter, and 91. 103. by Messrs. Pope as commission for getting them the ship. The Jury found a verdict, stating that they con sidered he was entitled to 7s. 6d. a day for his ser vices fbr eighty-four days, and that they disallowed all his other claims except a sum of 3s. 2d. The verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff, damages 3/. 2s. 5d., being the balance due, after de ducting the money paid into Court, and the payments made by defendant. ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY, On Tuesday evening there was an exceedingly crowded company assembled in the charming Pro menades Musicales at this elegant and favourite Saloon, in which the highest science is ren dered popular—and the most popular amusement s is enriched and refined, by that happy combination of scientific lore, sound practical judgment, and the means to boot, on the part of the present manage ment, for the want of which other similar enterprises have failed to maintain the favour which the public seemed ever ready to continue. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Julian Adams, is most effective ; and in the vocal department the efforts of Mrs. Wil son, Miss Thornton, Mr. F. Martin, and Mr. R. F. Smith, were rewarded with repeated and well merited applause. Amongst the most prominent novelties of the season just commenced is a little Thespian prodigy, somewhat of the Fisher, Betty, and Burke school (but in this respect more wonderful than any of her predecessor phenomena, that she has made her debut before the age of five years)—it is needless to say we mean the Infant Thalia. She with very great cleverness, represented the Bavarian Broom• Girl and the Highland Laddy, introducing in each representation the characteristic dances. She was encored, and was vehemently applauded through out her performance. The popular lectures on science were also very well attended to, and gave, as usual, unqualified satisfaction. There were nearly 1,500 persons present. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 30. ' O'CONNOR AND OTHERS V. MARJORIBANKS. The plaintiffs were Miss O'Connor and Miss Rossi ter, administrators of the lute Georgq Garrow, Esq., of Madras, and the defendants were the bankers well known as Coutts and Co. The action was brought in trover to recover 6501., the value of a chest of plate, which was detained by the defendants under guarantee • of indenthity from a gentleman named Hodgson, who claimed a lien on the plate to the amount of 2501., the principal, and a further sum, the interest of a bill of exchange drawn by the late Mrs. Garrow on, and accepted by her h us b an d, The case for he defendant (conducted by Mr. Ser geant BolvirAs) was that the plate was lodged with the defendants as a security for the bill of exchange, when they discounted the latter. A number of wit nesses were examined in support of this statement. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, for the plaintiff, argued from the evidence, at great length, that Mrs. Garrow hadno authority from the husband to pledge the plate, which was lodged in the care of Coutts and Co. only for its security. Mr. Justice CAMPBELL summed up.—Verdict for the defendants. Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoners. It will be remembered that the prisoners had the charge of a Windsor waggon, and that the prosecu trix, who is the wife of a soldier stationed at that place, rode in their waggon; and it was alleged that Boonton, taking advantage of her unprotected condi tion, committed the offence imputed to him. The case, however, was by no means satisfactorily made out. The Jury acquitted both prisoners. Daniel Beckham was charged with feloniously ut tering a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 1631., with intent to def rau d M essrs. Evans Brothers, and Co. The Jury, by direction of the Court, returned a verdict of not guilty. The Recorder sat in the evening, and disposed of several cases, none of which possessed any features of public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 30. FIRMINGER V. HEMMING. This was an action for assault, alleged to have been committed by the defendant on the wife of the plaintiff. It appeared that the families lived adjoining each other in St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, and that the plaintiff having been annoyed by the defendant's son, while in his garden, complained to his mother, in con sequence of whose abrupt answer, and order to leave the house, he had struck her and knocked her down. The defendant pleaded some circumstances in miti gation of the assault. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of 501. NEW COURT. ROBBERY ON THE THAMES.—Henry Gaines, 22, and John Kelk,lB, lighterrnen, were indicted for stealing 48 quarters of beans, and 133 quarters of oats, and a barge, the property of William Batt, value 295/. There were also indictm en t s c h arg i ng th e pri soners with stealing the barge, 864 sacks, and a skiff. It was shown by Mr. PAYN E , who appeared for the defence, that the prisoners had b een f oun d sleeping upon some sacks, and that the vessel which they had been seen to enter had, by some circumstance, floated from its first spot, carrying them with it. There v7:15 no evidence to show that they moved the barge, and into the cabin to sleep, improbable. tsheevierrsatla,tveimtneenstset, witnesses hgoingad home late, they had got a s io n w o n th li n e g lly for years, spoke of him as an excellent character for general honesty. The COMMON SERGEANT said, if the Counsel called witnesses to character, the jury should know all. He then summed up the evidence, considering that the charge had been clearly proved against the prisoners, but the jury immediately found both the prisoners not guilty. There was a disposition in the audience to applaud the verdict given, but it was immediately checked. The COMMON SERGEAN T then or d ere d t h e pr i soners to be detained on the indictment for stealing the skiff. John Holland was charged with stealing a purse and 51. in money, from the person o f Eliza Aime Club borne. The police said the prisoner had long been known as a member of the c swell mob," and that he was thehabitoffrequenting places of public resort. —Guilty. Transported for ten years. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 30. There was no feature of interest in this Court. IN RE SPENSER PEELE. The insolvent had formerly been the proprietor of the Gordon Hotel, Covent-garden. He was described as having been manager, subsequently, to the proprie tor of the plaining machine, at the Imperial Saw mills, Henlock City-road. Mr. Cooke, on be half of the insolvent, applied to have him liberated, upon bail, until the day appointed for his final hearing. The insolvent stated that Lord Strathmore was deeply indebted to him, in hotel accounts, and to the fact of his Lordship's not having paid them he attri buted his insolvency.—Admitted to bail. cept as presents."

The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 29th ult. states, that for some time past alarming reports had been in cir culation at Vienua re l a ti v e to Prince Metternich's health. "It is true," says the Gazette, "that the Prince had been slightly indisposed, and had even a consultation of physicians, who recommended that his Highness should take more exercise than he had been hitherto accustomed to do, but that there was nothing in his case to cause the slightest alarm amongst the Prince's Numerous friends. IN RE THOMAS WYNDMAN. This was the second appearance of the insolvent in this Court during the last 12 months. He now ap plied to be liberated on bail. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS commented, indig nantly, on his recklessness, in being twice insolvent in one year, and ordered him back to prison. IN RE HENRY MASON. The insoli;ent was a large iron -founder, in Shef field, about four years ago, when he became bankrupt. He subsequently carried on business in the same line in Bishops,gate-street. Bail being allowed to justify, in the sum of 1,4001., the insolvent was liberated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY) MANSION-HOUSE. THE RECOVERY OF THE STOLEN NOTES requestos o OF of the LONDON J OINT -S TOCK BANK.—At th Lord Mayor, Mr. Bush, the Solicitor to the Com mittee of Bankers for protection from forgeries and fraud, waited upon his Lordship for the purpose of communicating what had occurred with respect to the extensive robbery committed by the clerk of the London Joint-Stock Bank upon that establishment on Saturday. The Lord Mayor having been informed by Mr. Bush that all the bank-notes and all the sovereigns, with the exception of between 3001. and 4001., had been restored to the managers of the bank on the pre ceding night, His LORDSHIP asked whether the reward was still offered for the apprehension of the robber, or whether, as the property had been almost entirely returned to the Directors, they had thought proper to proceed no further against that individual? Mr. Bush replied that the Bank Managers were determined to proceed against the offender as if no restitution had been made. They entertained not the most distant thought of a compromise. The property had been given up to them quite unconditionally, through a friend of the clerk. The LORD MAYOR supposed the delinquent could not have made use of the notes without considerable difficulty. Mr. Bush said that there were difficulties certainly in the way of disposing of notes under such circum stances, and that the Bank had promptly adopted the most effectual means of preventing them from being passed to other parties. 'The offender had possessed himself of 600 sovereigns, as well as the bank-notes mentioned in the advertisement, and of these he had returned so many that the deficit did not amount to ir.Eush_ x deficiency. Certainly ; more than 300/. and 4001. The L ORD M A YOR said he had no doubt the secu rities of the offender would be made responsible for the the seenrities are li a bl e . The _L ORD M AYOR stated his object in making the inquiry to be to satisfy the public of the restoration of the property, the disappearance of which, under such circumstances, had caused a very general feeling of regret.

The Learned JUDGE postponed passing sentence. CHARGE OF FORGERY.— Daniel Beckenham, 30, de scribed in the calendar as a founder, was charged with forgin g the acceptance of Messrs. Evans and Co., the dr Mr. CL AR of Thames-stree t. Antc.scec, for the prosecution, stated that the prosecutors, upon consideration of the case, did not think it advisable to offer any evidence against the pri soner under the circumstances. A partnership to carry out a patent had existed between the Messrs. Evans and the prisuner, which had terminated. They had reason to suppose the prisoner did not think it had so termi nated at the time. he accepted the bill, in the following terms :—" For Messrs. Evans, Brothers, and Co. Daniel Beckham." As there was every reason to believe the prisoner had no felonious intent, with the consent of the Court, the prosecution would be withdrawn. After a few observations from Mr. BODKIN on behalf of the prisoner, • STATE OF TRADE.—The revival in trade, which had begun to show itself in the first portion of the month, has received a decided stimulus from the un expected settlement of the dispute with China. Much of hope, it must be admitted, mingles in the feeling which now pervades the manufacturing and mercan tile circles. But, besides the beneficial effects which the restoration of peace cannot fail to have on trade and commerce, by removing a cause of expense and uncertainty, the triumph of our arms has forced open a field so extensive for British enterprise that expec tation can scarcely be too highly raised as to the effects which the event is likely to have on the commercial prospects of the country. The entire Eastern World, with the exception of Japan, is now laid open to our merchants; and, great as is our trade in the East, it is impossible to estimate the height to which it will at tain in the altered circumstances of that beautiful, populous, and productive hemisphere. China itself, with its teeming population of three hundred millions, instead of being accessible to our commerce at one port only, and that one not the best fitted for traffic, is now accessible at five ports, and those, unlike Canton, so situated as to make it certain that, in less than 12 months'from this time, British manufactures will find their way into every part of the Celestial Empire. The prospect is, it must be admitted on all hands, cheering; and no sinister event will, we trust, arise to cloud it.

AMERICAN NEWS ARRIVAL OF TiIE CALEDONIA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY NIGHT. We have received this evening, by the Royal Mail Steamer Caledonia, Captain E. G. Lott, which left Boston on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th inst., our usual files of papers to the time of her sailing. The Caledonia has made the voyage from Halifax in 10 days 19 hours. The Great Western was to sail from New York on the 17th, and may be expected here to-morrow. The Acadia, which left here on the 4th inst., arrived at Halifax on the 16th, in 103 ; days. The Caledonia has only a few passengers—amongst them Mademoiselle Celeste. The New York City and State Election, which c anmenced on the Bth, had resulted in the complete overthrow of the Whig party, the Democrat candi date being elected by a majority of some thousands; most of the other States had also retured Democrat candidates ; and the whole result upon the next Con gress, would probably be a complete change of the policy and administration. The members who have been just elected do not, however, enter upon their functions until December 1843, unless an extra ses sion is convened after the 4th March next. • The news from Canada is not important, but we regret to learn that the Governor-General had a severe attack of illness.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANcnEsrEn.—Since the market of yesterday week, a slight advance has taken place in some de. scriptions of manufactured goods, and also in yarn of current numbers, and ready for immediate delivery. Yesterday, however, the demand appeared to be checked by the advance ; many foreign orders for goods hav ing been sent with limits considerably below the pre sent rates, are necessarily lying over for further in structions; consequently the market, though perfectly firm, did not,exhibit much activity; and the amount of business done was comparatively limited. Roc FID ALE FLANNEL MARKET, Nov. 28.—The demand for flannels continues extremely brisk, and to-day's market has been equal to any of the pre ceding ones. Yet, with the ready sale that pieces have met with, the manufacturer has not been able to obtain any advance of price. There has been very little doing in the wool market, on account of the dealers attempting to obtain an advance in price, which has been resisted by the manufacturers. Skin wool is more difficult to buy, and rather better prices have been given ; but other descriptions have been sold at former prices. It was stated in the market, that at the London sales, the latter end of last week, skin wool had been sold at an advance of one pound per pack.

THE NEIY NAUTICAL NOVEL, " THE NAVAL CLUB," BY "THE OLD SAILOR."—" The popularity Mr Barker's writings have acquired is well deserved ; it will not subside, but will doubtless strengthen and extend, both among the members of the service he has so faithfully described, and among the numerous class of readers, who, though they know nothing practi cally of the service, find an endless source of amuse ment in perusing illustrations of the characters, and narratives formed of the soul-stirring incidents, which abound in the eventful lives of British seamen, whose foibles are forgotten in the fun they inspire by the drollery in which they invest the mischief they often perpetrate. In The Naval Club' Mr. Barker has, in his best manner, brought before us an immense variety of those incidents, in which the grave and the gay will alternately find matter for serious sympathy and hearty hilarity. Life Afloat and Life in Green wich Hospital—interspersed with anecdotes illus trative of the characters of some of the most cele brated of the heroes of the quarter-deck—in the dif ferent gradations of their professional career—supply the subjects of these volumes. They inspire an interest which cannot flag; and will be as popular among nautical men, as they cannot fail to be with general readers."—Globe.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. EDITOR,—As the expeditious route to China, by s team, becomes now an obj ect A f great i m p or t ance , since we are at peace with thi s induxtrious one-third of the family of man, yo u are at libeCtY to insert in your China Sun the following nautical . remarks, from your obedient servant. ROBERT WIS:' I, of Allonby. Author of "R emar k s on our Present . Position with China and Affghanistan." The voyage by steam, from the Red Sett .0 . IThn r Kong, and v i ce versa (back), although consick:rab'Y longer than f rom t h e Red Sea to Calcutta, is, in point: of fact, only seven days' longer voyage than the latter, on as average ; because the track from the Red Sea to Sing*. pore is through a part of the Indian Ocean, wher2 the monsoon winds are favourable (or fair winds) at all seasons of the year, both outward or homeward, or going: to and returning from China ; and from Singapore to , Hong-Kong, the steam voyage (by keeping well in with the land), can be performed in seven days, on an [wane, all the year round. The difficulties ,experienced by the Bombay steamers in the S.W. monsoon are avoided in the China route, as are also those of the Calcutta steamers in the S.W. monsoon, at the head of the Bay of Bengal. Fifty days, is sufficient, and Singapore will be the only port neces sarry to coal at. Our splendid steamers, now in China, can do this great work, monthly, easily, if put to it.
