The great success which has long distinguished the Scotch System of Banking, and which has attended its comparatively recent, but partial extension to London, induces many to believe that a Joint- Stock Bank in the Metropolis —conducting its business on the prin ciples and according to the practice of Scotch Banks—could not fail to be beneficial to the public, and very profitable to its p roprie t to e r i s r . The Scotch Banks divide from 6 to 8 per cent. annually, and their stocks sell at premiums ranging from 10 to 94 per cent. The present time seems propitious for such an undertaking, and it has therefore been determined to carry it out under the above title. Though the prosperity to which Joint-Stock Banks formed previously to the passing of the Act of 7 and 8 Vie 113, attained both her e and in Scotland, may have conditions rendered cap.theoin v/ incorporated, s t a bility unquestionable, with out the aid of th at statute, still it is which could insure tati sotin all ul y thee iu n in e to eqhlwalichYthceerßtariintishthßatank is to its reclu be ire i m nco en r ts i! who may be intereste d in it, even from the datbeeo bodbf lion, a degree of s ecurity formerl from the accumulat ion of y ears of uninterruptedy prosperity. The guarantees afforded by this Act for the security of the Shareholders and Customers of the British Bank—the first to be incorporated under its provisions—are such as the constitution of no other Joint- Stock Bank in England offers. It is intended to establish Branches In tho most important of the metropolitan districts which have been hitherto unprovided by any Banking establishment. Some of these are separately more populous and opulent than many provincial cities. As the sphere of the Bank's operations will thus be greater than that of any of the Scotch Companies, and as its mode of trans acting business is intended to be mo'e adapted to aid the trading and middle classes than is allowable by the constitution of the other Joint-Stock Banks of the Metropolis, it may reasonably be expected that the profits to its proprietors will be proportionably increased. A statement of th e asse t s an d li a biliti es o f th e B an k will b e pub !'h ed monthly, and the Deed of Constitution and Charter will pro vide that its affairs shall be wound up, if at any time ono-fourth of The pall-up Capital (i.e. 121. 10s. . out of 501 ), have been lost. The Accounts will be audited annually by. Auditors chosen by the shareholders themselves, and a copy of the Report communicated to every shareholder. A General Meeting of the shareholders may be convened at any time, by any nine of their number holding collectively twenty-one Shares. Depositors, therefore, can incur no risk whatever, and riareholders know that their liability cannot exceed one-fourth of their paid-up stock, instead of their risk being, as in almost other /tanks, unlimited. Though the whole of the Capital must by law be subscribed, it is Intended to call up only one-half of it before commencing business, TEN Pounds per Share are required to be paid on or before execut hta the Deed of Constitution. The remaining forty pounds will be called for by instalments. These payments will be deposited in the Bank of England in the names of the Trustees of the British Bank, and if the Company be not incorporated, the money will be returned to the subscribers in full. Applications for shares with satisfactory 'references, will be re- Ceived by the Secretary at the temporary offices of the Bank, No. 52, Threadneedle-street, London, where a detailed prospectus and form Of application for shares may be obtained. mETKOPOLITAN COUNTIES AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 27, REGENT-STREET, WATERLOO-PLACE, LONDON.

It may be fairly said, the state of the teeth depends greatly upon the state of the bodily health, and the state of the bodily health depends greatly upon the state of the teeth. The homcepathic prin ciple of infinitesimal does in all cases of weakness and nerv,usness is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but as listed. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its ut most extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the Me tals. Medica are contained in it, and a small portion being gradually absorbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the teeth, gradually re moving the tartar, purifies the breath, thereby preventing infection, and corrects acidity in both mouth and stomach.

Diffidence, or a 3511510 of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em e:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the enly marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shetdd form au item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

WAKEFIELD, FEN. 16.—We have a pretty good arrival of wheat, but the show of samples is not great ; the trade is more lively than last week, and at Is decline a good business passing. A much firmer feeling prevails than on Tuesday, and there is a decided improvement from that day. Barley is sold on much the same terms as last week. Oats and shelling are quite as dear.

The reported decline in Mark lane has given a dull tone to the trade here ; and although generally offering at 1a to 2s per qr. less than last week, yet but little business has been done. Barley a large supply ; the demand is slack, and the turn in favour of buyers. Beans, peas, and oats, moderate supply, and there being some demand for seed, late rates have been fully supported. In seeds but little passing. LivintrooL, FEB. 16.—The arrivals of most articles of the grain trade the last two days have been liberal ; at the same time the demand has been inactive. There was a fair attend ance of millers and dealers at this morning's market ; wheat and flour were in moderate request, at an abatement on Tuesday's rates of Id per bushel on the former, and 6d per barrel and sack on flour. Oats were saleable, at full prices, but oatmeal was easier to buy. Egyptian beans were 6d per quarter cheaper. Barley and peas were in limited request. There was a fair sale for Indian corn, at a small concession on Tuesday's prices. EXETER, FEB. 16.—Cattle--From its being Exeter Fair on Wednesday, the market was scantily supplied, whilst prices still remain very near the same as late quotations. Fat bullocks were on dull sale, and the market was a shade in favour of the buyer ; 8s 9d per score being about the top price. Barreners, and cows. and calves were the turn dearer, the former being worth 5s to 6s per scare, the latter selling at 101 to 141 each. Steers were not much inquired for, some good ones were on offer at 25/ to 30/ the pair. Fat sheep about the same as last week ; wethers, 5 1 ,4 d, and ewes, 6d per lb. Corn Exchange—A very large at tendance of growers, but as the millers refuse to give as much as last week, the farmers do not seem inclined to give way ; the business transacted has not, up to one o'clock, been extensive. English wheat sold at from 6s 6d to 6s 9d per bushel, in best samples ; foreign, ditto, from 4.7 s to 57s per quarter ; barl e y, 3s 9d to 4s ; oats, 2s to 2s 6d per bushel ; fine lour, 38s to 40s per sack of 280 lbs.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held this afternoon, at the Nine Elms Station; Mr. Chaplin, M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY announced that the result of the poll upon the steam-boat question was as follows: — For the original motion 1,673 For the amendment Majority in favour of directors... 844 The guarantee to the Steam-boat Company was put to the vote and agreed to. The result of the poll for the election of the direction was as follows : For Colonel Henderson Ker Seymer, M.P. Colonel Reid Sergeant Gaselee 921 The three first three gentlemen were accordingly de clared to be the successful candidates, and duly elected. Colonel REID returned thanks for his election, and promised to do all in his power to promote the interest of the company. Mr. BAKER admitted that the steam-boat question was now at an end, but he gave notice, that at the next meeting he should submit a resolution to the pro prietors on the subject of the goods' traffic, which he considered was badly conducted. They ought to aban don the mixed system, and become their own carriers. The CHAIRMAN defended the existing system, and in sisted that it was the best that could possibly be adopted either for the interest of the company or the protection of the public. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE admitted that be had been fairly beaten by his opponent for a seat in the direction, but he did not despair of ultimately succeeding. He should offer himself again at the next vacancy, and at the midsummer meeting he should move that the steam boat proprietors be paid off and done with. After a lengthened desultory conversation upon the details of the line, which involved no feature of public interest, It was announced that the result of the poll on the re solution for agreeing to the recommendation in the re port relative to the new lines had been carried by a majority of 99. Mr. GASELEE then moved that on the 10th of January in each year a list of the proprietors, together with their addresses, should be made out, but no one seconded the motion, and it fell to the ground. The Learned SERGEANT then suggested that in future the dividends should always be paid on fixed days. The CHAIRMAN promised that the suggestion should be considered by the directors. An irregular conversation then arose upon the cir cumstance of the name of Colonel Reid having been placed before that of Sergeant Gaselee in tthe proxy papers sent out, notwithstanding that the Learned Sergeant had been first in the field, and it Avail arranged that in future the candidate who first gave notice of his intention to solicit the suffrages should take precedence of any others. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE then moved that in future the sending round of proxies by the directors at the ex pense of the company, to support particular measures, or secure the re-election of retiring directors, or for any purpose whatever without the sanction of the general meeting, should be discontinued. Colonel CAMERON seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN opposed it, • and upon a show of hands it was declared to be lost. Mr. CLOSE, the auditor, complained that a number of erroneous statements had been made at the meeting on Thursday, which had greatly depreciated the value of the property. It was said that in a few years the dividend would be reduced to two-and-a-half per cent, Nothing could be more untrue. At present they were paying five per cent. on upwards of six millions, and he could assure them, having carefully examined the ac counts, that their dividend would never be lower than four per cent., while it might mount up. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) ;Sittings at Nisi: Prius, at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Justice WILDE, and a Special Jury.) cox V. JAMES. This was an action brought to recover 200 guineas, the deposit money paid upon 100 shares, at two guineas per share, by the plaintiff, in a railway schome,,called the South Midland Junction, Bicester, Honiton, Marlbo rough, Devizes, and Salisbury Railway. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Bovill appeared for the plaintiff, and the Attorney-General and Mr. Sergeant Bytes represented the defendant. Mr. COCKBURN, in stating the plaintiff 's case, said the railway project in question was started in 1845, by Mr. William Jamvs, a solicitor, in conjunction with Mr. John James, the defendant, who held the office of Secondary in thy corparaticn of London. The action was brought against the defendant as having signed the scrip certificates on n hich the plaintiff sought to recover the amount of his deposits. The nature of this scheme was that it was to connect the lines in the south-west of England with the midland and northern lines, by traversing tho country from Salisbury right across to Swindon, and it was to throw out branches in various directions. An advertise ment was put forward, setting forth, among other things, Mr. William James as the solicitor, and his brother, Mr. John James, the defendant, as a provisional director; and the plaintiff, Mr. Cox, having been captivated by that advertisement, applied for a certain number of shares in the concern, and had 100 shares allotted to him. It was the practice resorted to by many people who projected railways in 1845, in order to obtain pay ment of the deposits with as mach rapidity as possible, to publish statements setting forth that the shares had been all allotted, and that the number of applications had been so great that it was found impoasibie to com ply with the wishes of the numerous applicants. The plaintiff having seen an advertisement of that kind re lating to the company in question, and believing that the company was in a flourishing condition, and that all the shares had been allotted, went and paid his deposits on the 26th of September, 1845, and executed the deeds which were required of him by the terms of the general undertaking. The plaintiff then received the scrip certificates for one hundred shares' signed by the present defendant, Mr. John James, as one of the directors. It was on that ground that Mr. James was now made the defendant in the ac tion. Shortly after this it appeared that this scheme, instead of being followed up by the directors, as they had originally put it forth to the public, was sunk alto gether by them. Whether the company was ever in tended or expected to be really brought into operation — whether the scheme was intended to be really carried oat, he (Mr. Cockburn) did not take upon himself to say affirmatively or not ; but it was never carried out, and did not appear to have been followed up. They united themselves first with a scheme called the West Midland, and, lastly, they merged it in another scheme called the Southampton and Manchester; and they put forth an advertisement, in which they an nounced to the shareholders that they had done so. The attempt at amalgamation with the Southempton and Manchester ended in a complete failure, and it was fairly abandoned, the directors making an offer to the indivi dual shareholders of 1/. 7s. 6d. on those deposits on which they had originally paid two guineas a share. This Mr. Cox, the plaintiff, refused to accept, and hence the present action. _ _ The case was proceeding when our report left. ARCHES' COURT.-THIS DAY.) GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. Sir HERBERT JENNER Farr delivered the judgment of the Court this morning in this case, on the prelimi nary objection taken and argued on a former day on the part of the plaintiff, that the Bishop having allowed twenty-eight days to expire from the application of the plaintiff to be instituted to the living of Bamford Spoke, in the county of Devon, and diocese of Exeter (to which he had been previously presented by the Lord Chancellor), before commencing his examination of the plaintiff, and that therefore the examination of the plain tiff, to which the Bishop of Exeter submitted Mr. Gorham, was a nullity by a canon of the Church. His Honour delivered the judgment of the Court at great length, and decreed that, under the canon of the Church which had been relied on by the plaintiff's eoun belt the Bishop was not prohibited from commencing and continuing his examination of the plaintiff as to the soundness of his doctrine within 28 days from the plain tiff's application to the Bishop to be presented to the therefore, i n f avour o f t h e living. Th e j u d gmen t was, Bishop of Exeter. Dr. ADDAMS then addressed the Court for the Bishop on the merits of the case, and was proceeding when our report left. MA RLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.) A DISHONEST SERVANT.—John Timmins, a coach man, in the service of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, silver. smiths, 156, New Bond - street , and Marga re t, hi s w if e , were rought before Mr. Hardwick, the former charged with stealing four gold salt-spoons, the property of his employers, and the latter with having offered the same in pledge, well knowing them to have been stolen. John Fry, assistant to Mr. Dobree, pawnbroker, Gil bert-street, Oxford-street, stated that last night, about six q'clock, the female prisoner came into his employer's shop and offered the foer gold spoons produced in pledge. Witness, knowing that her husband was in the employ of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, suspected that she had not come by them honestly, and asked her whose pro perty they were. The prisoner replied, " Oh, it is of no consequence; put my name down ; i t i s a ll t h e same, you know me well. , He refused to do so; when she said they were the property of a lady who was very much reduced in circumstances. Witness then went and consulted with Mr. Dobree, who directed him to give the prisoner in charge. During the absence of witness the prisoner ran out of the shop. Witness sub sequently went with a constable to Messrs. Hunt and Roskell's, who identified the spoons as having been stolen from their stock. The constable then went with witness to the stables in Barlow-mews, and the priso- ners were taken into custody.

He asked the male prisoner if he knew anything about the spoons. Be said he did not, but that he had emptied some rubbish out of a packing case on to the dust heap, and the spoons might have been amongst the rubbish. The woman on being questioned said she found them on the dust heap, and did not know the value till she took them to the pawn broker's. Witness then conveyed them to the station. The prisoners, who protested their innocence, were remanded till Wednesday next. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—We have rea son to believe that the cruize of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier has been very much: curtailed, and that he will return to Spithead immediately with the ships and ves sels under his command, and haul down his flag. The St. Vincent, 120, will be paid off, and the other ships of the Squadron will be distributed to foreign stations to relieve those vessels ordered home. Mr. Hay, it was understood, had gone to Fez. It was reported in the Squadron from Tangier, that if the force made their appearance there, the inbabitaits would insist upon the authorities going down to the beack and offering the keys of the town to the Admiral, assuring him that they repudiated the acts of their pirate countrymen, over whom they had no control; begging the Admiral to do what he pleased with the town, but to be merciful, &c. REMOTAL OF REGIMENTS.—We are enabled to state that there is no foundation for reports which have been going the rounds of tho daily and other papers, to the effect that the 23d Fusiliers move from Winchester to Dover, the 50th from Dover to Portsmouth, or that the 91st will leave Portsmouth for Winchester. We are enabled to state with perfect confidence that no change will take place with respect to the Com mandants, Quartermasters and Adjutants, and Officers who are permitted to reside out of barracks; the report is totally void of foundatien, and has only originated in the brain of the imaginator. THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.—This gallant veteran daily improves in health and strength, and bids fair nut only to receive but to wear, with his other decorations, the war medals which his gallantry had won. Sir James Hawkins Whitshed is now in his 71st year as a commis sioned officer, and, on Valentine's day, completed his half century as a flag-officer. UNSERVIEBARLE AND WORN-OITT SHIPS.---We are glad to find that the Admiralty are alive to the value of their old ships even when theyno longer become service able. The old San Josef, instead of being sold for a paltry sum to a contractor, is to be broken up by the men of the dockyard establishment at Devonport, and what of her timbers and stores that are found to be convertible is to be retained for the service, and what is inconvertible will be sold. The old yacht William and Mary, and Camelion cutter, are to be broken up at Deptford, and what portion of these vessels that is applicable is to be transferred to the Clerk of the Works' Department for the repairs of ships, building, &c. We have already stated that the Admiralty have com missioned the Adventure as a store-ship, for the purpose - of dispatching her, under the command of an able officer, Mr. Wellington, Master N.N., with stores of all kinds for ships on the South American station. Their Lordships' object in sending this chip out is to test an experiment, which, if successful, will be of importance in an economical point of view. The cost of conveying stores to the distant naval stations is immense, and we trust their Lordships will reap an economical advantage in employing their own ships and officer and men on this service. Dr. Chambers, Surgeon; Mr. Reynolds, Assistant-Surgeon; Mr. Anderson, Midshipman; and Mr. Dayrell, Naval Cadet, go out in the Adventure to Monte Video to join the Raleigh; and an Assistant- Surgeon appointed to the Asia, and a Clerk appointed to the Nereus, also take passage in the Adventure, to join their respective ships in the Pacific. UNATTACHED PAY.—Major-Generals Henry Thomas and William Rowan have succeeded to the unattached pay of 255. per diem. These officers are each distin guished by their services in the Peninsula and the con tinent of Europe. Major-General Thomas was in Sicily from 1805 to 1812. He afterwards joined the 2d bat talion of the 27th, and was present with it at Vittoria and the Pyrenees. Subsequently be commanded the light companies of the right brigade of the 4th division, and was at the battles of Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. Major- General Rowan was with the 52d in Sicily ; after wards in Sweden in 1808 ; with Sir John Moore in 1808-9; at Walcheren in 1809, including the bombard ment of Flushing ; and again in Portugal in 1811. From January, 1818, to the end of the Peninsular war in 1814, ho was in the Peninsula and South of France, and was present at the battles of Vittoria, the passage of the Bidassoa, the battles of Nivelle, Nive, Orthes and Tou louse. Ho closed an active war career at Waterloo. NEW LIFE-BOAT. Another new life-boat, called Light's patent life-boat, has been started during the last few weeks, and the inventor, having succeeded in getting the Admiralty to hear a description of it, their Lord ships have referred it to Woolwich, and have ordered the authorities there to inspect the principle and applica tion of the invention, and to report upon the same. RAILWAY RETURNS RAILWAY TE,AFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns arc made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year:— ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Feb. 14. Yesterday being the commission-day, Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Coleridge arrived by the mail train, and proceeded to the Castle to open the com mission. This morning their Lordships attended Divine ser vice, and immediately afterwards proceeded to the courts. The criminal calendar is very small, and the offences are of a very light character, six prisoners only being charged with larceny, one throwing corrosive fluid, nine with night poaching, two bigamy, three coining, two forgery, one damaging warp, one manslaughter, one false pretence. The civil list is likewise very light. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron AeremsoN.) John Dagger was charged with having, on the 15th of September, at Singleton, thrown a certain corrosive fluid on the person of Anno Clarke, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Blair appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Gardner defended the prisoner. The prosccutrix, Anne Clarke, stated that she was 16 years of age, and servant to Mr. Archer, of Singleton ; that the prisoner had courted her for two years previous to July last, when she forbade him to come to see her ; that on the night of the 15th of September she went with Margaret Foster and Margaret Hull to Mr. Woods, the clergyman at Singleton, and that as they were re turning home, and were on a footpath which runs through a plantation, the prisoner rushed out, and pulled her into the wood, threw her down, and committed an indecent assault upon her, and said, " I'll tackle you for this." She felt something sharp, like burning, and the prisoner then let her go. She screamed out, and shortly after fainted from pain. The two women assisted her home, and a surgeon was sent for. Robert Harrison Buwness, a surgeon, at FORUM], said atend that on the 15th September he was called Anne Clarke, and found large inffamm b ° ody; that inside of the thighs, and the lower part øf n two and three atory e i s n p t ts o at t end she was seriously injured, and was betrfee months under his care, and that the injury was done by aqua fortis. Mr. Gardner addressed the jury f o r the defence. 4 Verdict--Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in sentencing the prisoner, enlarged upon the cruelty and brutality of the offence, and ordered him to be transported for fitteen years. NIGHT POACHING. , awn _Hutchinson and J o h n Gillow were charg ed with having, at the township o f Turnstall, on the 18th January last, unlawfully entered certain enclosed land by night, together with others, armed, with intent to take and destroy g ame . Mr. Overend appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobbett for the prisoner. Mr. CORBETT addressed the jury for the defence. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that the verdict of ale jury must depend on the question of whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the pri soners were in pursuit of game in the plantation referred to by the indictment. The jury, after a very short deliberation, found the prisoners Not Guilty. Lancaster, Fob. 15. CROWN COURT. —(Before Mr. BARON ALDERSON.) William Bracewell was indicted for having, at Colne, on the 9th of September last, uttered a forged bill of exchange for the sum of 45t. los. Mr. Whigham prosecuted ; Mr. Joseph Pollock de fended the prisoner, and urged that James Watson and Moot had been mixed up in bill transactions together, ~ ~/ ~- ~,~ that James Watson might have authorised either ow or the other to affix his name to the bill. Verdict, Not Guilty. Mary Clegg was indicted, under the 7th and Bth George IV., c. 30, e. 3, for having maliciously damaged a warp of cotton, the property of Margaret Walker, by applying oil of vitriol to the same, with intent to render the same useless. Mr. Segar and Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. and Mr. James and Mr. Joseph Pollock defended the prisoner. An alibi was proved, and a verdict of Not Guilty re• turned. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

Edinburgh and Northern (Additional Capital and Amend ment of ♦cts). SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived. The Gageta states that the band of Serrat, 400 strong, had been routed in Catalonia, and Ferrater, chief of a Republican band, had, with his officers, made his submission. From an article in the Ileraldo, it appears that Messrs. Rothschild, of Paris, and Barings, of London, advanced the Government the funds necessary for the payment of the last half year's interest on the three per cent. foreign debt, on the deposit of the last year's yield of the quicksilver mines. A Madrid letter of the 10th says :—" Queen Isabella has just made General Narvaez a present of eight millions of reals (2,000,000 f.), as a recompense for his long and faithful services, and as a testimony of her personal esteem. The money is to he taken from a sum of 16,000,000 reals, due by the Treasury to her Majesty. General Narvaez has expressed his gratitude to the Queen in the warmest terms." MADRID Boise, Fut. 10.—The Three per Cents. were done at 21- - 4- for paper ; the Five per Cents. at 10 ; the Debt without Interest at 3 ; and the Cou pons at 6i. AUSTRIA. ENTRANCE OF THE RUSSIANS INTO TRANSYLVA.NIA. The Austrian Lloyd's, published at Vienna on the 12th, contains the following- from Transylvania : " On the 20th ult. a mounted peasant took a missive from the rebel General Bern, to Hermannstadt, summon• ing the city to surrender, promising that the strictest discipline should be observed by his troops, and that neither house nor property should be injured, adding, however, that he should be obliged to levy a con tribution upon the inhabitants. He threatened to raze the city in case of refusal. The contents of the letter were communicated to Field-Marshal Lieu tenant Puchner, who declared that the citizens must act according to the beet of their judgment, as he could not guarantee the safety of the city. The inhabi tants determined to hold out, and at once raised a corps of 2,000 men to reinforce the troops of the line, which amount to 4,000. The National Guard of Mediarch, which place has fallen into the hands of the insurgents, cut their way through the enemy, and joined Puch ner's little army. A battle took place, as was re lated in a former letter, and though the insurgents were repulsed from before the walls of the city with great loss, still it is far from secure. The Saxons and Wallachians :had long before applied to Field-Marshal Lieutenant Puchner, as a letter of mine of about the 20th ult. (which never appeared) stated, begging him to call in the assistance of the Russians if unable to protect them. The General declared that he could neither gua rantee the safety of the city nor a pply t o th e R uss i ans , as he had not any instructions to that effect. The civil authorities hereupon applied on their own account to the Russian Commander, begging for his as sistance, which could alone protect their province and city from being barbarourly laid waste, as Bern had an army of 20,000 men, the Szeklers having joined him, although they had just before con sented to suspend hostilities, and had actually taken the oath of fealty to the Emperor. It must be remarked that these same Szeklers, by their frequent breaches of faith, have proved themselves worthy of the reputation they enjoy in the old Transylvanian state documents— Genus hominurn perversissimum ac infidelissimum.' An glice—' A most perverse and faithless race.' The Rus sian Commander is said to have replied to the deputa tion that he was.quite willing to send troops for the pro tection of the imperial property in Hermannstadt and Cronstadt." The news of the occupation of Transylvania by the Russians is corroborated by the papers and letters published in the Kelner Zeitung of the 16th instant, where it is also stated (on the authority of some Hun garian newspaper) that M. Kossuth has resigned his dictatorship, or that he has been removed from it. We ought, however, to observe, that the Hungarian paper, which the Kolner Zeitung quotes, is in the habit of bringing false news and exaggerated reports of the defeat of the Magyar party. ITALY. The Comcordia of Turin of the 12th instant pub lishes the summary of a speech, delivered by Abbii Gioberti, in the Sardinian Chamber of Deputies, on the 10th : " The resurrection of Italy," he said„ " like every other revolution, should have a principle and a fixed limit, beyond which, instead of advancing, it would retrograde. That principle and that limit were represented by the four following words—reform, constitution, independence, and confederation. The Minister accordingly reproved as Utopian schemes the plans of those who contemplated to constitute an unitarian and republican Italy. As regarded unity, he would support it if it were practi cable; but with respect to the Republic, he preferred the constitutional monarchy for his country, because Italy divide) and enslaved for so many ages, would only be a focus of division and dissension, which must ultimately weaken her and produce tyranny. Those principles, he added, should guide the present Administration, which desired a strong and popular monarchy, the complete independence of the kingdom of Italy, a federal consti tution, in short, a diet representing 'all the states of the Peninsula. M. Gioberti then referred to the overtures made by Piedmont to Rome and Tuscany, with regard to the constituent founded on universal suffrage, and which were interrupted by the secession of Rome and the Pope, but particularly by the convocation of the Tuscan constituent with unlimited powers. This last circum stance was the more deplorable, as it occurred at a mo ment when the resumption of hostilities was imminent. Do not suppose, however,' continued the Minister, " that we reject altogether the idea of a Constituent Italian Assembly at Rome. We will only abstain for the present from concurring in it, because its origin and mission, and the circumstances attending its meeting, render it dangerous, and that it would be imprudent to participate in an act of which the r'sult cannot be foreseen. We hope that the Assembly will adopt a course of wisdom and moderation which will se cure to it our co-operation. In that case we will hold out to it a friendly hand, and Central Italy will not have a more zealous and devoted partizan, for we would then be acting in conformity with our principles. The Roman Constituent, reduced to those limits, would become the Federative Constituent, which was the first idea of our policy, and the fondest wish of our heart. We have long since made known our intentions to Florence and Rome, and we have declared that if constitutional mo narchy was attacked, land the Pope not permitted to reascend his throne, it would be most difficult to prevent foreign intervention. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 10.—The declaration of Lord Palmerston, respecting the intervention of England in the Schleswig-Holstein question, is not considered by any means satisfactory by some of the leading jour nals. iThe Berlin en Zeitung says :—" It is very evi dent, from every expression used by the Minister, that England has no especial regard to the belligerent powers, but that its objects is the maintenance of peace and the prevention of a general war." In the sitting of the Diet on the 10th, M. Schiern asked the Ministers " whether they, as Ministers, con sidered themselves subject to the general order of business ? " The Minister of the Interior replied that, "conformably with the opening speech of the King, the Ministers were justified in always giving their opinion ; that, on the whole, they considered themselves bound by the general order of business ; but that, since they were not Members of the As sembly, they could not be called to order by the President, provided, of course, that they did not give offence to any Member." The third reading of the Wehr duties law took place in the sitting to-day, and was passed by a ma jority of 104 against 9. On Monday the Minister ; had promised to make some communications relative to the fundamental law of the state. CHRISTIANIA, FEB. 6.—The Director of the Fi nance and Toll Department has published a detailed report respecting the new Norwegian loan of 1,500,000 specie, which is to be made abroad by Burgomaster Brettyille, and the Consul-General, M. Faze. The Borsenhalte states that this loan has been concluded in London, with the house of Hambro and Co.—Haniburgh papers, Feb. 13. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKRT, FEB. 16. The raw sugar-market continues without life, and the transac tions of the week are extremely limited; if the impor ters, however, were disposed to give way in price, it is probable that a large business may be done. In refined goods there is no alteration; the demand is still dull.— Brisiol Mercury. THE GALLANT PRINCE OF ORANGE.—The mili tary reader is aware that there is a wide distinction be tween a gal-lent and gal-/ant man. The anecdote we are about to relate exhibits his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange in the latter light. It seems his Royal Highness,called lately at Apsley Hous e to pay his respects to the Duke. On his entrance be saw a veteran porter of the ducal household who had served at Waterloo with the King of Holland, the Prince's tither. He also saw that the porter had y ou ng wife, whom, until an ex planation was offered, he supposed was the porter's daughter. Struck with the beauty—we mean with the claims of the old soldier on royal consideration—the Prince drew a gold watch from his pocket and in the most graceful manner acknowledged the veteran's ser vices by giving the watch to his wife.—United Service Ciaatte. il 14 Z - Week Last al T; ending NAME OF RAILWAY. week.

SIR,—In the Times of to-day it is stated that Lord Brougham, in moving the second reading of this Bill , " ran over the heads of it in a conversational tone of voice, so very indistinctly audible in the gallery. as t';,' defy all attempts to give an accurate account of thew ; h nor does your own report, although better, very rn ue mend the matter. ' I confess I consider this very o dd, the and very unfortunate.

Secondly, halt-pay and r h u is ptc - y a 7w pensions were made liable to distribution. Thirdly, the important law of fra u d u l ent preference was extended to transfer of goods within two months of bankruptcy, whether by compulsion, or threat, or voluntary, and though not in contemplation of bankruptcy—the making equitable mortgage or other conveyance—the granting warrant of attorney to confess judgment—and the giving cognovit. Then, fourthly, the creditor is to be allowed to prove for interest, though none has been stipulated. Fifthly, the important remedy, so often desired by traders and creditors, is given of making the certificate revocable for misconduct, concealment, and other fraud, and giving a direct power of punishing by imprisonment. Then the Debtor and Creditor Arrangement Act is ex tended to trader. And, lastly, the Scotch law is intro duced (most salutary in its provisions), of distributing a deceased debtor's estate, without driving the creditor to file a creditor's bill in Chancery. The Bill, his Lordship said, contained six sections ; but the digest was (as we see by the print) in 12 chapters, 32 sections, and 370 articles. • I may have omitted one or t wo h ea d s; I stn "re the above are the most material.
