(From the Etude of yesterday. Prince CARIGNAN leaves Paris for Turin on Alonday. Th e elections in the Departments will be con formable to the wishes of the friends of the Monarchy.

PARIS, JAN. 30 . —There is a report, that the Prince tie Po lignac is to be replaced at the Court of London by M. de Mont morency Laval, and Polignac is to go as French Ambassador to Rome. We learn from Havre, of January 28, that the American corvette Cyane, had arrived there with Mr. lirown, the Minister of the United State s to t h e C ourt of France, to suPersede M. Gallatin. It seems that the Prince of Savoy Carignan is not expected to return to Turin, from which he has been absent three years. This v oluntary or forced exile, to which the presumptiv e heir of the Sardinian Throne submits, is not unimportant. The reigning House of Savoy will be extinguished at the death of Charles Felix, who has no children, and no appear " titituof haying any. Th e re is only one co ll atera l b ranc h of family —that of Savoy Carignan ; and of this there are c 'tilY two Princes —the one of whom we speak, and his son, wh° us four Yeats o ld.

No importer can wish that the instant he has given an order for delivery his right of property shall be lost. With the great bulk of our importations such a course is utterly impracticable ; for the goods are not in a deliverable state. The rate at which the vendor is to be paid is often the only point which can be definitively settled : the amount and the quantum of the goods are to be afterwards ascertained by weighing, gauging, mea suring, separating, &c. ; and to admit of this, there is, in all trades, a usual prompt, or time, allowed for payment.-H Surely, as between the original vendor and vendee. the former has a right to follow and resume possession of his goods as against the latter ; and if the vendee makes them over to a third party, shall that make any difference ? We conceive it ought not, as the sub-vendee must know that the goods are not in a deliverable state; and if he pays his money for them, under such circumstances. he does it in own wrong, even admitting that there is no collusion between the parties. An order for delivery is a niece incipient proceeding. Until actual or constructive delivery take place, so as to admit of final settlement, the contract is not conclusive, and may be revoked.—No man can give a better title to any property than he himself possesses. The original Vendee, therefore, must do every thing necessary to terminate the transit of the goods, before he can sell them to another; and it has always been hitherto held in law, that " if any thing remain to be done," the transitur is not at an end ; This is clearly the case with tallow sold at per cwt. Until it is weighed and the quantum thereby ascertained, the goods are in tranritu. The present Chief Justice, in his able book ou Shipping, says—" Not every mercantile practice of frequent use, and " even of general convenience, is or ought to become in all its " consequences a part of the law of the land ; for if such a rule " were adopted, the law must, in many cases, depart from its ow•n principles, and vary with the varying fashion of the " times."—P. 393. The varying fashions of the present times are such as to lead to a serious departure from the ancient principles of the law ; whether fur good or fur evil remains to be proved. Bayonne Papers to the 25th, and Dutch and Brussels to the 31st ult. reached us last night.— The former are totally insignificant : the latter intimate that some conspiracy of an extensive and alarming nature had been discovered in Ba varia, but without entering into any other details than that " the Officers of Justice and Police were permanently assembled to continue the exa minations of a considerable number of prisoners, and that six pounds of poison had been found in the barracks of the military at Nuremberg." Letters from Batavia, of the 16th September last, bring the news of the death of his Highness the Soesochoenan of Soerakarata, Pakoeboeana- Senopatti ngologo - A boul - Rachman - Sahidin- Panatogomo V., which happened on the sth of that month. This Prince succeeded his father in October, 1820. He had not left any legitimate descendants, and till the supreme Government should come to a decision respecting the succes sion to the throne, the Dutch Resident at Soera karata had taken possession of the Seals of Go vernment, and fixed his abode in the Palace. THE RING'S CO U 1. 1 011 Saturday, at four o'clock, lab MAJESTY heid a Court at his Palace at Brighton, which was attended by the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs, the Lord Steward, &c. The King held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Buller at tended as clerk. The King's speech for the opening of Parliament by commission was finally arranged, and received his Majesty's sanction. — The King then proceeded to prick for the She riffs of the different counties, according to ancient and annual custom. His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Harrow by and the Earl of Liver pool. The Court broke up a little before six o'clock ; afterwards, those composing the Court were entertained with a sumptuous dinner, with the addition of the Hanoverian Minister and the Judge -Advocate. On Saturday the Duke and Duchess of GLOU CESTER arrived in town from Bagshot for the Sea SOU. Friday morning the Duke of Yoktx left town for Windsor, and visited his Royal Sister, the Princess AUGUSTA, at Frogmore. The Royal Duke dined with the Princess, and afterwards left for London, where his Royal Highness ar rived between eleven and twelve o'clock. The Earl of LIVERPO•L and Mr. Secretary CANNING left town at the early hour of half-past seven o'clock on Saturday morning to attend the KING in Council, and returned yesterday. On Saturday Mr. DYKES, the King's Mes senger, left town with dispatches for Mr. Secre tary CAN Nusa, at Brighton. GREEKS.—Letters from Naples and Ro mania, of the 29th December, state that the for tress of Carystos, in the island of Negropont, was taken by storm on the 12th of that month (St. Andrew's Day), by the Greeks under the command of Ulysses And ruso. THE PoPE.—The Diario di Roma continues to give satisfactory accounts of the state of his Holiness's health, which is gradually improving, and holds out the hope, that in a short time his Holiness will be quite recovered from his late severe ilines3. CONSTA syrxxoPr.F., DEC. t4.—The Fader, which arrived here on the Gth instant, from London and Marseilles, has been formally refused a passage into the • Black Sea, on the ground of her site exceeding that stipulated by treaty, and even that which has occasionally been tolerated beyond it. She is, therekbre, OA the pciat of re.u;'aing to Marseilles. Judges, in pronouncing judgement in the cause HAWES V. WATSON, should have gone beyond the point at issue. There is a newfangled mania afloat at this moment, which tends to disturbing the law of Commerce in many important respects. The doctrine that possession is to constitute title is sought to be established, and the equitable rights heretofore acknowledged, as between Principal and Factor, and Vendor and Vendee, are to be annulled. THE KING. BRIGHTON, F. 1.-Ott: beloved SOVEREIGN, we rejoice to state, continues to improve in health. The answer to in quiries at the Palace yesterday, was—" his MAJESTY is con siderably better." To-day, the answer is—" His illAsEs7 y continues to get better." .A-.) .. ft, ....„ , , ... .. t 1 IA , - 7 2: : go ., _ 5 ta , t • ~, , ,-- el: , . i . c..:, ....W.i.f,er,-.1. ..,ky , liy,, ~- ..,r• .. •`I 9-4 .:.,- 1 .,,- ~: OY '-i ► -. !'i i., 4 4 14 4 . 4 : 4 4v, T" „. 4 , • 1 FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be V.sed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great ." I . l tain and Ireland, for granting the dignity of a Baron of the said United Kingdom to the Right Honourable Sir R o b ert Gifford , knight, 'Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of Com mon Pleas, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Gifford, of St. Leunard, in the county , of Devon. KING' s I assembled very ear l y on S aturday, and the pit THEATRE.—A v e ry n umerous au di ence was crowded very soon after the opening of the doors. We were sorry to see several elegant females standing on the sides, and at the back of t h us to witn ess ane the pit, with h ar dly a chance for a pl ace , an d %i• that c 4 th e age of chivalry" is no more, h e Opera of Zelmira was repeated. lVt i lenßo e.

Madame CoLERAY, his wife, as her timidity subsides, displays mo re advantage. Her voi ce seeme d to be more! powerful on Saturday, her talents to and her acting was marked by grace and expression, evidently the result of feeling. Her figure and mann er are commanding, and h er fi ne dark eyes make her ac tion more expressive. exerted himself with great effect. PLACc i has seldom acted with more truth of character than in the venerable part which he sustains in this Opera. We are of opinion that Madame VE sTitis appears to much greater advantage in the English Theatre than on the Italian Stag e through h er ; but, ho w ever, sh e gets part tolerably well. The dances went off well, and th e whole ended without in fringing on Episcopal Regulations. WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQ.—The hoax practised upon this Gentleman, importing that he was in a state of alarming illness, seems to have been the result of wanton malignity. It was not, however, unattended with a good effect, as the very nu merous inquiries at his house, in the course of Saturday, manifested the high estimation in which lie is held for learning, talents, and personal worth, by most of the distinguished characters now in town. M. LANGLEI, the celebrated French Oriental scholar, died last week at Paris. MADAME Fonoa.—The Peteranirgh Gazette of the 9th January announces that the Emperor ALExANDEP., being desirous of establishing an Italian Opera iu his capital, has offered Madame MitNviEwt-Fonon, an eu;„lagetnent of 60,000 roubles, and five benefit nights. This celebrated singer is now at Naples, where her engagement closes on the Ist of April. The IRON TRADE ill ST iFFORDSHIRE is brisker than has been known for years, and the demand being so great, a rise of price took place at last quarterly meeting ; the milers are more busy than the oldest manufacturer can recollect, and pence, plenty, and content, has entirely driven grumbling out of the field ; there is nothing to grumble about,and the quidnuncs are all aground. Du EL.—Early on Saturday morning a meeting took place near the Regent's Park, between B. M., Esq., and Captain P., of the Navy, attended by their seconds, when Mr. M. received his antagonist's ball a little above the left knee, but it did not lodge. The parties left the ground on friendly terms. DUEL PREVENTED.—Captain F—w—er and Mr. W-1-3, a gentleman of fortune, met at Thaxted Green,. Middlesex, on Saturday morning, at day-break, to decide a dispute ; but, after the measurement of the ground, two offi cers appeared, and they were suffered to depart, on their hon our to find sureties to keep the peace, which were entered into.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Though a dies non, the LORD CMANCELLOit came to Court at ten o'clock. After some conversation relative to whether the case of Ex-parte Grimstead, or that of Lord Somers should first be heard, the Lord Chancellor said he bad come to an opinion as to the order he should make in it, but as he might probably be called upon to give his reasons for that opinion, he should reserve giving it until :lir. Hunt was in Court. GOUILLAY ✓. THE DUKE OF SOMERSET. His LORDSHIP complained that he had received an anony mous letter relative to this case, in which he was actually charged with having delayed the judgment. He deprecated the sending of anonymous letters at any time, but here the charge was grossly false ; for not only had he devoted his time both in and out of term to it, but had actually given his opi nion so far, within six hours of the first moment that he could do so. The case of Grinstead was then gone on with. RECOVERY OF MISS EMILY WHITE. Bo w-STit arr.—(Tuts DA y.)—We have the pleasure of stating that this interesting young female was dis covered at No. 34, Villiers -street, on Saturday- last, by Mr. Piper, jun., of the Strand, by mere accident. He had occasion to go to the house where he saw her, and gave instant inforana tion of the circumstance. By whom she was placed there did not appear, but a private inquiry into the case was held at the above offic.; this day, front which the Reporters were excluded. EXECUTION. EDINUURGII, JAN. 29,--Yesterday morning, John Wilson and Duncan. Fraser were executed at the head of Libberton's Wynd, for the crime of housebreaking.— Upon leaving the jail, on Tuesday evening, both the un happy culprits evinced the greatest piety and resignation.— They slept calmly from eleven o'clock till four yesterday morning ; and then engaged earnestly in devotion. At a quar ter before nine the two unhappy young men left the Lock-up house, preceded by Bailies Blackwood and Allan, and leaning upon the arms of the Rev. Walter Tait and Mr. Porteous.— Upon the scafThld a psalm was sung, anti a prayer offered up by Mr. Tait ; during which both criminals knelt on the drop ; Fraser, with a countenance expressive of deep anguish, then energetically addressed the multitude. Both prayed earnestly while the executioner was making his preparations, and shook hands with each other when these were completed. —Wilson gave the signal ; and for some minutes suffered severe convulsions, apparently from the noose of the rape being too large—Fraser died without a struggle. Wilson and Fraser were incorrigible ; but in consequence of their plea of guilty, which they could not be induced to retract. the publiz were not made acquainted with the whole extent of their guilt. When apprehended with the stolen property in pos session, Fraser made a thrust at the officer with a pen-knife, which the latter warded off with his arm. Wilson was about 28 years of age, and of respectable parentage, who till lately re sided in the West Bow. Fraser's parents are both dead. Upon making inquiry at the Jail as to the manner in which these young men had conducted themselves, since the period of their condemnation, we were informed that their department throughout has been marked with the greatest propriety.

Admiral Sir Harry Neale, Bart. G.C.8., stood behind the chair of and waited upon the King; Captain Samuel Warren, C. 8., and Capt. Honourable c. Spencer, behind, and waited upon, the two Princesses ; Capt. Andrew King, behind and waited upon Don Miguel; and Capt. Sir Harry Burrard acted as butler!

DEATH OF TUE COUNTESS of CauLtst.E.—On Tuesday morning last, at five o'clock, at Castle Howard, Yorkshire, the seat of her Noble Husband, in the seventy-first year of her age, the Right Honourable Margaret Caroline Coun tess of Carlisle. Her Ladyship was the second daugh ter of Granville Leveson Gower, first Marquis of Stafford (by Louisa, daughter of Scroop, Duke of Bridgewater,) and sister of the present Marquis, and of Lady Ann Vernon, Lady of the Archbishop of York. Her Ladyship was married to Frederick Earl ofCarlisle on March 22, 1770, by whom she had issue eight children, the eldest of whom (George Viscount Mor petit, born Sept. 17, 1773) married, in March 1801, Georgiana, eldest daughter of William, late Duke of Devonshire. Her Ladyship's eldest daughter, Caroline, married John, late Lord Cawdor : another daughter, Elizabeth, married John Henry, present Duke of Rutland. Joseph Hunt was removed from Hertford Gaol lon Wednesday last. He had been expecting to see his mother before his departure, but she did not arrive, and he was, in (consequence, much mortified. He was removed in a post chaise to Woolwich, and as he was driven towards town he met Norris's Hertford coach. He stretched himself out of the window to see if his mother was a passenger, but she was not there. On his arrival on board the Hulks, at Wool wich, he underwent, to him, a most unpleasant ceremony. His fine curling locks and large whiskers were shorn off; and he was stripped and put into a tub of water, where he was thoroughly scrubbed. He was amazed during this operation ; but he was still further to be assured of the privation of a convict, for instead of being permitted to resume his own clothes, he was attired in the costume of the other prisoners —coarse grey jacket, waistcoat, and trowsers, yellow stockings, and worsted night cap. He will sail for New South Wales by the first ship that is ready. His transportation is for life. He has been visited by Mr. Harmer since his arrival in the hulk and is extremely anxious to see his mother and brother. The Gazette of Saturday notices the sudden disappearance of Mr. PIERCE, of Bristol, and after stating there is reason to suspect he has been murdered, offers a reward of Three Hundred Guineas, to be paid by his family (residing; at No. 28, Richmond-terrace, Clifton), on conviction of the of fender or offenders; and his Majesty's pardon is offered to any one of the offenders (except the person who actually committed the murder), who shall discover his accomplice or accomplices, so that he or they may be convicted thereof. We are informed that Mr. PIERCE, the colicitor of Bristol, whose mysterious disappearance frOm his place of residence has been so often noticed in the papers, sailed from Cowes on Thursday last, in the ship Hudson, for New York.— He had, it appears, secreted himself until within a few days, in London, passing by the name of Richards. His friends traced him thence to Cowes, but the ship had sailed the day before they reached the place. We understand the unfortunate gentle man is considered to have' become insane.—( Hampshire Telegraph.) _ _ We'understand Mr. SPANKIE, late Advocate- General in India, is now on his return to ling_ land, with his healtli a little improved. He has had a very narrow escape. On Thursday morning, at an early hour, the body of a man unknown was found lying dead and cold, with his head on the step of a garden gate, at the bottom of Stonemason's-buildings, Great Tichfield-street,Marylehone. Ilia clothes were all wet and dirty, as if he had been in the water ; he had only, twopence halfpenny in his p ockets, but no papers to lead to a di scovery who he was. —He appeared a middle-aged ‘ maa, and was shabbily dressed.

The quantities of Corn that came in last week were tolerably good, and this morning there is a good fresh arrival of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; but there are not many Oats fresh up. The Wheat trade has been in a state of so much animation since last Monday - , that 3s. to 4s. per quarter advance has been obtained on the terms of this da.y sennight ; but as the price of Flour is not yet certain to ad_ ranee, there is therefore rather more slackness in the trad.e than at the early part of this morning. The maltsters purchase Barley so eagerly, and there being orders to ship some for the North, that 4s. per quarter higher has been obtained on the prices of this day se'nnight. Beans are also further advanctd 3s. to 4s. per quarter. Boiling Peas are also risen 3s. p er quarter; Grey Peas are 3s. to 4s. per quarter dearer. The in creased consumption of Oats, in consequence of the meeting ;:f Parliament this week, has occasioned a further advance :a the. price of this article of 2s. to 3s. per quarter on the terms of last .11onday.
