Sun Office, Feb. 3, 1842. .attx„, LONDON • TIIURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1842. A good deal of surprise is caused in naval circles, we understand, by the recent appoint ment of Rear-Admiral Sir TriomAs COCHRANE to be Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies; and to supersede Sir WILLIAM PARKER. Scarcely seven months have elapsed since the latter Gallant , Officer, acconipaning, Sir HENRY POTTING ER, left England to assume the command in the China sear;.- .He had scarcely. arrived there when he began operations with vigour, subdued AulOy, and - proceeded, according to the last accounts, against Pekin itself. We know of nothing which has transpired to justify his removal and recal, and the public interests ; we are afraid, are likely to suffer ti•om a succe s sion of Commanders, as it did at the period of the battle of Vimiera. That he was a member of the Whig Board of Ad miralty will not justify appointing a Tory in his place, till ho has executed, or failed to execute, the service he has been sent on. Sir THOMAS CocnnANE, too, may have many claims on his party; we are not aware that he has any on the country. He contested Ipswich, and suffered, as he has avowed, a plucking for the good of the. Tories; we have no recollection of any victories of his which are recorded in our naval annals. He was one of those fortunate youths, being the son of an Admiral, who are said to be born with silver. spoons in their mouths, and was made a Post Captain while yet a youth, more by his father's interest than his own merits. It may be his misfortune, not his fault, that in all the, appointments he subsequently received he failed to acquire any distinction so as to warrant the Admiralty, by his great professional reputation, to bestow on him one of the best stations in its gift. There is nothing in the antecedents of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE to make naval men belie*e that lie will succeed should Sir WILLIAM PARKER not bring the Chinese war to a fortu nate conclusion. Naval men accordingly regard the appointment as a reward for party sacri fices, and they express great surprise that Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, who is responsible, it is supposed, for all naval appointments, should have sanctioned it. Of late great exertions have been made by the' Tory writers to blacken the character of the manufacturers. They are conscious of having injured them, and now seek to stifle the monitor within, by abusing them. Tory and landowning legislators first plunder, and then insult, the ma nufacturers, by spreading abroad against them the grossest calumnies. On this account we think it right to give as much prominency as we can to the following circumstance, which we borrow from the Sheffield Iris:-- On Thursday, a public dinner of the masters • and workmen of the old and highly respectable firm of Messrs. Richard Groves and Sons, m this town, was held in the large room, at the New Inn, Shalesmoor, for the purpose of presenting to. that firm a superb piece of plate, as a token of respect and esteem from the workmen. Near two hundred persons sat down to dinner, a few of whom were ladies, for the most part members of the respective families of the gentlemen in the firm. After the cloth had been drawn, Mr. Josh. Ibbotson, one of the workmen, delivered an address, which had been drawn up by the workmen for the occasion, from which we make a brief ex tract : " Gentlemen—We are are deputed by our fellow. workmen to present to you this token of - our gratitude, as an acknowledgment of the numerous comforts that we have enjoyed from your unexampled kindness, through a long series of years, some portions of which have been to thousands of our townsmen seasons of unpa ralleled distress. And while many have suffered all the miseries of penury and want, we have enjoyed comparative prosperity, owing, principally, to the spirited manner in which you have maintained the character of your manufactures, long rendered famous in every part of the civilised world. Since the commencement of your establishment, in the year 1776, no firm has attained greater celebrity than that of R. Groves and Sons, and the superiority of your articles are universally acknowledged.—Whe ther in the hands of the hardy pioneer in the Far West, or in the use of our more refined transatlantic brethren, they are not only aiding the march of civiliza tion and intellect, in the remotest regions of the earth, but are the means of producing many of the elegances and refinements of polished society. They have, in fact, maintained a name as yet unsurpassed in the annals of our commercial records. Not a fading, fleeting, ephemeral popularity, but a fame honourably acquired on your part, deservedly conferred on the part of our patrons, and characterised by a stability, firm and last ing as time itself. The prices paid by you to your work men, we can conscientiously affirm to be at all times as high, and, in many instances, much higher, than those paid by any other manufacturer •in this town, a circumstance which has created a praiseworthy emulation amongst your men, and enabled you to send into the market an article for which you have long been celebrated and eminently distin guished. It was the consideration of these circum stances that gave rise to this day's proceedings. we are e xceedingly gratified that the earnest desire manifested - * I N__ '• , , • „e,r s*, • E T PA 0 $ ^ • - , THE SUN, LONDON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1 4 42 by all to promote so laudable an object,. should, in so short a time, be realised. Under other circumstances, this memento would have been of a much higher and more valuable class ; but be assured that no time, place, or circumstance, could more enrich it than the outpour ings of those warm and grateful hearts which now fill it to overflowing, and hallow it, too, by the best and noblest sentiments of our nature. Having explained to you the motives by which we have been actuated in this proceed ing, we respectfully solicit your acceptance of the prof fered gift, and may you long live to enjoy it ; and may it be considered by your children, and by ours and their suc cessors, for ages yet to come, as a solemn pledge and covenant of good faith between us; and when, in times remote, they hold their joyous festivities, to which this day's transactions may probably give rise, may this re mind them of us, who have journeyed on before, on whom nature's Scene will then have closed for ever ; and while they endeavour to avoid our faults, may they far excel us in every good and generous act". Mr. Enoch Furniss, senior workman, in the employ of the firm, presented the cup, which is of silver, of the Pompeii vase form, r i c hly em b osse d w i t h un i on borders, acanthus leaves, and other embellishments on the body, foot, and cover, surmounted by a wreath of laurel and bee-hive (type of industry, and emblematic of Messrs. Groves and. Sons' manufactories; which are called Bee hive Works.)- On an antique shield is engraven— " Presented to Messrs. Richard Groves and Sons, by their Workmen, as an humble Testimony of Respect and Gratitude.—Jan. 27th, 1842." On receiving the testimonial, Mr. Groves addressed the men—we give only a part of what he said : Esteemed Workmen—After the lengthened period during w MA many of you have faithfully served us, you have this day given to the world such a substantial proof of your good-will as can never be erased from our memories ; and we all, this day, thank you cor dially. We have not spent these thirty or forty years together, without having to pass through many storms. But we have hitherto realised the truth of the maxim, that union is strength.'— (Cheers.) I well remember our late venerable father's advice. After sustaining severe losses in trade, we asked him if we must reduce the number of our hands ; but he re joined—' You must work harder and live carefully —that wiill help you best over losses.' This sentiment I would impress on the minds of my son and nephew. I have generally found that most- men will listen to reason, if properly addressed to them, and we know that our ' union is our interest. Was it ever seen, in a country of slaves, what we see this day, in this unlooked for token of esteem ? Flattery may be given to power ; but chil dren seldom Hatter fathers, and this day you appear one family; and I feel as a father amongst you. This beauti ful cup.will ever be a nthmento of joy; because, whenever I look at it, I shall be reminded of that mutual good-will which subsists between us, and which greatly increases the pleasure of this day. And now let me once more impress on your minds the need of persevering in your present efforts to excel, that the quality of our Sheffield wares may continue to maintain their superiority over all other tools ; for it does appear to me, that our .Shef. field wares are yet unrivalled in quality ; and if union betwixt master and servant be the order of the day; we shall yet see better days in Sheffield." Such proceedings and such language do honour to the masters and their workmen. We noticed some time ago a friendly meeting which took place at Edinburgh, between the Messrs. CHAM BERS and their workmen, but the present is more especially worthy of record, from its occurring in the heart of our manufacturing districts, and amongst men Whose minds have been represented to be as horny as their hands. It refutes, more emphatically than a volume of essays, the heart less calumnies of the Tories, and confers more lasting honours on the system which prevails in the manufacturing districts, than a great multi tude of leading articles. Every one acquainted with the manufacturing neighbourhoods could, we believe, quote similar examples of reciprocal good feeling existing between employers and em ployed, at Derby, Stockport, Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham. Without wishing to disparage the agricultural districts, we doubt whether any such amiable sentiments and amiable scenes can be found in then). Now and then we hear of some tenants paying a compliment to their landlord, because he has not exacted the full rent he might legally claim now and then we hear, with great com mendation, of the bounty of some squire, that he has given his labourers a dinner; but we have no recollection of farm-labourers clubbing to gether to present their employers with a piece of plate, or to bestow some testimonial of their approbation on the squire. The labour of a life would scarcely enable them to purchase it. The little knowledge we have of agricultural dis- tricts, which is almost confined to the south of England, teaches us that the labourers. on one hand, and the farmers, landowners, and parsons un the other, regard each other with the most unamiable feelings. The latter live in -appre 410u of the petty plunder of the for►uer, and the .n-nier look on the latter as combined to oppress Such sentiments as those Mr. GROVE CITI. and his workmen reciprocally expressed, are as unknown, we are afraid, to the classes in the agricultural districts as to the planters and slaves of the Brazils. If the hapless peasantry felt such sentiments, we are quite sure they could find no words of their own to express them, and equally sure that the other classes would never give them credit fbr entertaining them. 1 They live together, but they are not neigh hours. They scarcely understand each other, and one class is envious of the natural hilarity of which unmitigated poverty cannot wholly de drive them, and the other of the wealth which ieems to promise enjoyment, but rather checks than excites the animal spirits. To succour the distressed, to help the weak, to bind up wounds, to set the way-laid man on an ass, to bring him in safety, and provide for his recovery and nourish ment, is to be his neighbour ; to wall round great districts of the earth on the one hand for the pre 4ervation of game, and to poach them on the other; to make and to strain the law against the poor, and to defy and evade it; to restrict all kind of innocent enjoyment, and to retort a kinds of petty annoyance, is not to be neigh. hours, but enemies. Which character is best de. served by the labourers and the upper classes in the agricultural districts, let those pronounce who have lived in them. We have on several occasions called public attention to the character of the clergy as ex hibited by the testimony they bear against each other. When the Earl of RADNOR, in the Upper House "of Parliament, accused the bulk of the clergy of perjury, and the newspapers repeated the accusation,words could not be found to express the big and overboiling indignation with which the accusation was repelled. But latterly that accusation has been amply justified by the crimination and recrimination of the Evangelicals arid the Puseyites—the platform actors and the monks, as they reciprocally call each other. Some days ago we borrowed from a Journal of the Evangelicals, a character of the Puseyites; and we now beg attention to the opinion published in a Puseyite Journal of the Evangelicals:— riow does it happen," said a writer in the Morning Post, hat we see no addresses to his Grace (the Archbishop of Canterbury) calling his attention to the universal vio lation of the Rubrics of the Prayer-book which every clergy man is morally sworn to obey ! Is perjury a slight crime ? It might, perhaps, be as well if these eager denouncers of what they conceive to be erroneous doctrine would pay a little attention to the subject of the Rubrics. They would perhaps discover that those clergymen, whom they consider perfect models as to doctrine, are in the constant habit of deliberately violating their ordination vows without the slightest excuse ; while, on the other hand, those persons whom they conceive to be the enemies of the Church of England, are consistently fulfilling every command of the Church which has been laid upon them. •By their fruits ye shall know them.' Popular clamour is much more easily raised than strict obedience is fulfilled ; and, therefore, no wonder that we find much more of the one than of the other." If the Puseyites are such faithless men that they cannot be trusted, that promises and oaths will not bind them, according to the Standard, he Evangelicals, according to the Post, are nen who habitually violate their vows, and deserve to be expelled from society for uni versal" and habitual perjury. The public in general, cuwsaetia o p ns. prehend, will cordially believe b The question of the Budget, generally regarded of much importance, excites but little attention in the French Journals of Tuesday. Nor is this occasioned by the consideration of more import ant matters, unless the prosecution of the Mode, a weekly Legitimist Paper, be so regarded. The trial of this Journal took place before the Court of Assizes on Mon day, when MM. VOILLET DE ST. PHILBERT, the editor, and EDWARD PROUX, the printer of that paper, were convicted of having, on the 22d ult., published a seditious libel, tend ing to excite hatred and contempt against the Government, and se n t ence d, t h e f ormer to two years' imprisonment and a fine of 6,000 f., and the latter to - three months' imßrisonment and 2,000 f. flpe, For the opinions of the Republican and Legiti mist Press upon this conviction we refer to our Foreign Summary. The Breton, of Nantes, announces the death of General CAMBRONNE at that city, in the 71st year of his age. The Members of the Chamber of Deputies met yester day in the Bureaux, for the purpose of discussing as to. whether they would authorise the reading of three pro positions from MM. Ganneron, Ducos, and Golberg. _The proposition of M. Ganneron i s , th at t h e M em b ers of the Chamber of Deputies who are not paid public func-1 tionaries at the time of their election shall not be allowed to become so whilst they hold seats, in the Chamber, or for one year afterwards. The exceptions to be the posts of Minister, Ambassador,' Under-Secretary of State, Procureur-General of the' Cour les Comptes, or Cour Royale, Director-General, CoMmander-in-Chief of the National Guard of Paris, Governor of Africa, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, and Governor of the Bank. The proposition' of M. Ducos is that all citizens who are not on those lists from ineligibility resulting from article 383 of the criminal code shall also be electors. The propo • sition of M. Golbery is for a credit of 300,000 f. for the publication of the repOrts of the sit tings of the Chamber, under the direct control of its bureaux. Very little opposition was made to the appli-, cation for the reading of those propoSitions, as regarded those of M. Ganneron and M. Ducos ; but an animated discussion took place in some of the bureaux on the pro-• position of M. Golbcry, some of the Members contend ing that nothing of the kind is wanted, others that the ; reports of the sittings are not given at sufficient, length in the Moniteur, and that a special and official re-' port is required. The result of the discussions was that the propositions of MM. Ganneron and Duros should be read. This was also the case as to the proposition of M. Golbery, in all the bureaux, except one, where it was rejected by a majority of two.—Galignani's Messenger. The Madrid Papers received are of the 25th. ult. They contain no news of importance. Senor AttouELLEs had delivered a clever speech in the Cortes, in defence of the Ministry. The Cor responsal contains a letter from the Librarian of of the Escurial, deuying,in very indignant terms, the truth of a report published by some of the French papers, that a collection of precious manuscripts from the Escurial had been sent as a present from the Regent to MI GUIZOT. The Five per Cents were done at the Madrid Bourse, on the 25th u lt., a t 321 f or cas h, an d 331 at o days. Three operations were done in the Three per Cents. at 221 22 3-16 at 60 days. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH• MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I cannot meet you in Parliament assembled without making a public acknowledgment of my gratitude to Almighty God, on account of the birth of the Prince, my son—an event which has completed the measure of my domestic happiness—and has been hailed with every demonstration of affectionate at tachment to my person and Government, by my faithful and loyal people. I am confident that you will participate in the satisfaction which I have derived from the pre sence in this country of my good brother and ally the King of Prussia, who, at my request, undertook the office of Sponsor at the Christ ening of the Prince of Wales. I receive from all Princes and States - the con ' tinued assurance of their earnest desire to tain the most friendly relations with this country. It is with great satisfaction I inform you I have concluded, with the Emperor of Austria, the King of the French, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of, Russia, a treaty for the more effectual suppression of the Slave-trade, which, when the ratifications shall have been exchanged, will be communicated to Parliament. There shall also be laid before you a Treaty which I have concluded with the same Powers, together with the Sultan, having for its object the security of the Turkish Empire, and the maintenance of the general tranquillity. The restoration of my diplomatic and friendly intercourse ►with the Court of Teheran has been followed by the completion of a Commercial Treaty with the King of Persia, which I have directed to be laid before you. I am engaged in . negociations with several Powers, which, I trust, by leading- to conven tions, founded on the just principle of mutual advantage, may extend the trade and commerce of the country. I regret that I am not enabled to announce to you the re-establishment of peaceful relations with the Government of China. LThe uniform success which has attended the hostile operations against that Power, and my confidence in the skill and gallantry of my Naval and Military Forces, encourage the hope on my part that our differences with the Go vernment of China will be brought to an early termination, and our commercial relations with that country placed on a satisfactory basis. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The estimates of the year have been prepared, and will be laid before you. I rely, with entire confidence, on your disposi tion, while you enforce the principles of a wise economy, to make that provision for the service of the country which the public exigencies re. quire. You will have seen with regret that, for seve ral years past, the annual income has been ina dequate to bear the public charges; and I feel confident that, fully sensible of the evil which must result from a continued ;deficiency of this nature during peace, you will care fully consider the best means of averting it. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I recommend to your immediate attention the State of the Finances, and of the Expenditure of the Country. I recommend also to your consideration the state of 'the 'Lawa which affect the Import of Corn, and of other Articles, the produce of Foreign Countries. Measures will be submitted for your considera tion for the amendment of the law of bank ruptcy, and for the improvement of the juris diction exercised by the Eccle3iastical Courts in England and Wales. It will also be desirable that you should con sider, with a view to their revision, the Laws which regulate the Registration of Electors of Members to serve in Parliament. I have observed with deep regret the continued distress in the manufacturing districts of the country. The sufferings and privations which have resulted from it have been borne with exemplary patience and fortitude. I feel assured that your deliberations on the various important matters which will occupy your attention, will be directed by a comprehensive regard for the interests and permanent welfare all classes of my subjects, and I fervently pray that they may tend in their result to improve the national resources, and to encourage the in. dustry and promote the happiness of my people. j EMIGRATI ON FROM I ND IA TO THE MAURITIU S . —The G azette of Tues d ay evening co nta i ned an Order o f C ounc i l, setting f ort h that it is highly. . probabl e an A ct of p arl i amen t will speedily pass to authoris e t h e em i grat i on o f labourers from India to the M aur i t i us , and prescribing a wh o l e series of regul at i ons b y which the Act, sho u ld i t pass, i s to b e carr i e d i nto e ff e ct in the Mauritius.

We have news from South America - of the shooting of the President of Paraiba in his own house, and of the breaking out of a rebellion in the northern provinces of Brazil. We begin to despair of the establishment of any good system of constitutional government in any part of South America. It is only the Anglo-Saxon races that have as yet proved themselves capable of exercising the right of self-government. • We predicted nearly two years ago that France would yet have to pay dearly for M. Thiers's war whistle. The following remarks cf the Debats upon the Budget for 1843, presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, bear out the correctness of our prediction : "The budget for 1842, which has been presented by the Minister of Finance, is satisfactory, inasmuch as it shows that the receipts nearly balance the expenditure. The deficit is only twenty-eight millions of francs. It is important, however, not to lose sight of what had taken place, in order that there never may be a pretext for recurring to the adventurous policy from which France has been snatched. In order to attain this still equivocal equilibrium it has been necessary to make many sacrifices. The public debt • has been increased 150 millions. Useful enterprises hare been indefinitely adjourned ; and others, which are in the course of execution, are going on so slowly, that nobody knows when they will be completed. The two magni ficent canals, which were voted in 1838, and which might have been completed in 1844, will not be opened per haps before 1850 or 1855, for the credit for public works for 1843 is to remain at the same point as in 1842, and we know what reductions have been made in the budget as it was voted last session." The Presse gives the expose des motifs of the Minister of Finance, with no other remark than that it is a docu ment of importance, but promises to return to the sub ject. The Constitutionnei, and some of the other Jour nals, not only have no comment on the document, but do not even give the document itself or any part of it. The Courrier Fraßcais and the Siede give the leading pas sages of theftpose, but abstain from comment. The verdict against the Mode has produced, as was to have been expected, severe attacks upon the Govern ment in the columns of some of the Opposition Journals, for its determination to attempt by repeated prosecutions to put down the liberty of the Press. The National observes :—" It is the destruction of the Press that is aimed at ; printers are intimidated, and every possible opportunity is sought to convict a Journal twice in the same year ; the Prefects are recommended to select the Juries, and thus, at the same time, two of the most vital institutions of the country are assailed, viz., the liberty of the Press and the sanctity of justice. Is not this violence enough—is not this abuse enough of the law to make the most blind at length open their eyes ?" It is necessary for us to state, in order that our readers may 'understand the charge of the National, that a Journal twice condemned for libel upon the Govern ment in the same year, may by the laws of September be suspended. The Royalist Quotidienne says:—" The double con demnation of the the responsible editor and printer of the Mode shows clearly what the plan of the doctrinaires is. It is war, war to the knife, against the press. War against all that remains of our liberties. We shall say but little now of the great event of the day. We hope all grave and calm men, of whatever opinion, will con cert and struggle against the frightful system of intimi dation which has disclosed itself to France. The Stutgard tGazette of the 30th ult., mentions a re port that a Prussian Envoy had been sent to the Ger manic Diet, for the purpose of proposing to that Assem bly a geiteral amnesty for all political offences, and less rigorous Press laws for all Germany. A letter from Berlin, at the same time, of the 24th ult., states that it was generally believed there that the liberty of the Press would receive a great extension in Prussia, the Government being convinced that all public journals edited in a violent sense, would die away for want of subscribers. A Hanover correspondent, in a letter of the 21st ult. mentions a meeting of the principal merc h ants and tradespeople of that capital, for the purpose of consulting on the expediency of a petition to Govern ment to request its adhesion to the German Com mercial League. Only two out of 140 votes were in favour of the accession to the League, and a counter petition was voted expressive of the conviction that such a measure would be prejudicial to all the interests of the country. Danish papers mention the condemnation of M. Or ladehmann for a libel upon the Government, and tumul tuous meetings of the Liberal party in consequence, which it was necessary to put down by the police force. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times hints, in its principal leading article, at some of the chief topics that will be alluded to in the Queen's Speech ; and in another article states, with re ference to the Duke of Buckingham's resignation, that though on the particular subject of the Corn-laws, he declines partaking the responsibilityfof Ministers, the difference between- him and them, is not wide enough to cause ,the least alienation or - even coldness. lie con tinues to the Government his friendship, his cordial ap probation, and on every point but this one, his steady support. The Advertiser warns the, people to " repose no confi dence in Peel until the measures he announces have be come the law of the land. Let not the introduction of a Liberal Anti. Corn -law Bill," adds 4he Adnertiser, " put them off their guard. Such a Bill may be introduced for the very purpose of deceiving them. The victory is not yet won. We are only in the thickest of the battle. We are in the crisis of our fate. Let the country continue the present agitation a little longer, and Peel must lay the corn-monopoly in the dust." The Herald reads a lecture to Sir Robert Peel on the subject of his political duties, observing, "he has the prayers, the hopes, the good wishes of a vast majority of the British people to maintain him in his present course, and to encourage him in his manly efforts to work the vessel of the State through the quicksands into which the unskilful pilotage of his predecessor had, worked her. But it is only by maintaining the same moral and physical resolution, energy, and vigilante, which have heretofore sustained him, that he can answer the high expectations of his country, and of the world." *- , The Chronicle is of opinion tharthe Duke of Bucking ham has not gained much in point of character by his resignation, and adds, " the Duke of Buckingham has ingeniously contrived to sacrifice his independence in the very act of quitting office. His Grace is so little famous for tact and temper, that anything like discrimination or moderation in his opposition to a Ministerial measure would, under any circumstances, awaken uncharitable surmises. But opposition in a blue ribbon to its donor would have the air of a ridiculous sham. Nay, some will even go so far as to say that his very opposition to the Ministerial Corn-law is part of the Premier's plan for carrying it." IVION EY — TEADZ—COMDIEECE. It appears, from the Report of the Delegates of the " Strike," made at the meeting held in Drury-lane last night, that the total amount of subscriptions had been 3,3401. 4s. 100., while the expenditure amounted to 3,3051. 14s. 5d., leaving a balance of 391. 10s. sid. Fresh subscriptions, to the amount of 801., were received at the close of the meeting. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. An association, of which the preliminary meeting was held on Saturday in the Adelphi, is about to be formed for the purpose of watching, on the part of the public, the plans and improvements now proceeding in the me tropolis. Complaints were made of the many serious mistakes and failures of plans which have recently taken place, owing to the incompetence of Committees of the House, and other parties. The first stone of the New Houses of Parliament will be laid by her Majesty early in the summer. It is intended by the Court of Comnion Council to peti tion Government for the removal of " the old Houses in Postern-row, Tower-hill, to make way for extensive im provements, in the City, th e cost of which, if carried out, will be about 10,000/. ELECTIONEERING. The number of controverted elections which stand for consideration on the meeting of Parliament amounts to no less than fifty-two. Colonel Torrens has offered himself as a candidate for the representation of Liverpool. NAVAL AND MILITARY. At a meeting of the Seamen's Hospital Society, held yesterday, that dreadful disease, the scurvy, was re ported to be still on the increase in the mercantile navy The chief sufferers are the Lascars. LAW AND POLICE. that At Guildhall yesterday Charles Petch, aged 19, an usher in a school at Morden Hall, Surrey, was committed to take his trial for stealing a cheque for 1/. 19s. 4d., the property of the ltev. John White. It appeared ho had found means to extract the cheque from a letter before it was sent by post. At Thaiiie - s-street William Schmidt, a Swede, was committed to Newgate for uttering a forged seaman's ad vance note for 101., purporting to be signed by Captain Dixon, of the ship - Warlock. William Allen, the last of the Wraxhall burglars, was apprehended in John-street, Smithfield, on Saturday night. He was taken to Bath on Monday, and, after a short examination before the Magistrates, was fuliy committed. J. E. Debenham, a person employed in the London district post-office, was charged at Bow -street with stealing a letter containing a 5/. note, which came into his possession as letter carrier. Mr. Peacock conducted the prosecution, and after a number of witnesses had been examined, the prisoner was remanded for a week. FINE ARTS. A remarkable specimen of the fine arts, probably of the fiteenth century, has been lately deposited in the print-room Of the British Museum. It consists of a very elegant cup and cover, in the rare style of engraving, called niello, and forms the largest and most elaborate relic of the niellator iin existence. It was purchased of ' Madame Colloigne, widow of the sculptor of that name. LITEILAIZY AND SCIENTIFIC. Count Wernigrode, who accompanies the suite of the the King of Prussia, is possessed of immense estates on the borders of the Hartz, the castle of which is cele brated for its valuable library, and especially its collec tion of Bibles. The family is one of the oldest in Ger many. THEATRICAL. Handers oratorio of Solomon was performed at Exeter Hall last evening to a crowded audience. Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Miss Lucombe, and Phillips and Hobbs, were the principal performers, and executed thair parts throughout with the utmost spirit. The fine choruses were given with great force and effect. Mr. C. Kean was married to Miss Ellen Tree, on Sa turday last, at St. Thomas's Church, Dublin. COVAIL--PASUIOZCABLE The Duke of Marlborough arrived at Mivart's Hotel yesterday from Blenheim. The Earl and Countess of Cawdor arrived yesterday in South Audley-street, .from Pembrokeshire. His Royal Highness the Prince of Capua was yester day received by the King of Prussia at a private audience. The Marquis of Normanbt arrived at the Clarendon Hotel on Tuesday evening, from Mulgrave Castle, to attend the opening of Parliament. Lord Plunket has arrived at Florence from Nice, and intends to remain a b roa d un til th e spring. The Earl of Limerick, who is in his 84th year, came up yesterday from Southhill Park, near Reading, in order to dine with the Duke of Wellington. The Earl of Shelbourne has arrived at Florence, and intends to prosecute his tour in the -south of Europe until spring.

The Marquis of Exeter has been appointed Lord Lieutenant of the county of Northampton, in the room of the late Earl of - Westmoreland, and the Marquis of Salisbury Lord Lieutenant of Middlesex, in the room of the Duke of Portland, resigned. MISCELLANEOUS. It is worthy of remark that her Majesty never travels by railway. Prince Albert almost in varia bly accompa nies the Queen; but patronises the Great Western ge nerally, when obliged to come up from Windsor alone. The Prince, however, has been known to say, " Not quite so fast next time, Mr. Conducter, if you please." To-morrow will be the anniversary of the ransom of King Richard the First, in 1194. The first speech from the throne on record, was de livered by Henry I. in the year 1106, to the great Baron of the realm, whom he had summoned by royal ,mandate to London. THE FUNERAL OF MR. C. DAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Cowes, Feb. 2.—The above ceremony was one of the most imposing ever witnessed here, the whole of the shops and private houses were closed, or rather none of them were opened, and the body was followed to the grave by the entire male population: After the mourners the Rev. Thomas Mann, followed by 108 of the Rrincipal inh a bit an t s i n d eep mourning, then the officers and men of the Coast Guard ; then came the members of the different benefit societies, Fthe whole wearing crape, such a demonstration of public feeling has been seldom, if ever, so generally expressed, all shades of politics and creeds were for gotten, the general peace-maker of the town and neighbourhood was alone thought of; he was part and parcel of every man's family, and as such every one mourned that he was taken from them. It is the intention of the inhabitants to enter into a subscrip tion to erect a tablet to his memory in St. Mary's Church. Dr. Hoffmeister, Mr. Day's partner, suc ceeds him in the business, and is very highly spoken of; but however great may be his professional ability, he must be a very fortunate man indeed ever to ob tain the high esteem our departed friend had secured from high and low, from rich and poor—indeed from all who had the happiness: to know him. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied the whole morning in hearing arguments in cases in the new trial paper, none of which were of any interest except to the parties concerned. DREADFUL ACCIDENT-TEN LIVES LOST. The greatest consternation was created this morning at nine o'clock, in Charles-street, Drury-lane, by the &H -4' ip.. in of three houses, burying, it is suppo se d, f rom t en to fifteen persons under the ruins. Information was im mediately sent to the Police-station, Bow-street, when detachment of the F Division arrived with all speed on the spot, so as to prevent further accident, as several of the other houses appeared to be giving way. These houses, situated on the right-hand side of the street, had been for some time condemned, and were un inhabited, being in a state of dilapidation. For the last few days the poor people in the neighbourhood have been allowed to gather the pieces of wood for their firing, without any opposition being made by the police or any party. This morning, .at nine o'clock, there were about fifteen persons, it is supposed, within the ruins, gathering the wood, when three of the houses suddenly gave way, and fell in with a dreadful crash, burying them beneath. The screams of the neighbours were appalling, at they expected to see their children had fallen a sacrifice. Four were taken out lifeless; 'one an old man of the mame of Miller, leaving a wife and eight children to lament his loss; the other a lad of the name of Smith; the others' names were not known. Had it not been for the. workmen opposite returning from breakfast, more lives would have been lost, as there were a number of children near the spot, who fortunately were saved by the men rushing and pulling them away as the ruins fell in a perpendicular manner. A number of men were put to work to clear away the rubbish, when they found a man's arm and leg. Two men were taken off to the Middlesex Hospital, but died as they were being Con veyed thither. The people had been cautioned not to go near these houses, as some accident, it was feared, would occur, as they were quite in a rotten state. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. This:morning, about half-past ten o'clock, as some bricklayers' men were ,pulling down an old house in Charles-street, Drury-lane, the lower part of it gave way and buried the whole of them in the ruins. One man and a boy were taken out quite dead, and several were taken to Charing Cross hospital dreadfully bruised. Several persons narrowly escaped with their lives, the street being very narrow.

THE SNOW STORM IN THE PEAK.--The excessive quantity of snow which fell on the night of Monday week enveloped the hills of the Peak to a most unwonted de gree. Many of the hoary-headed sons of these hills protest that, in the same space of time, a greater fall never occurred to their recollection. All communication from place to place has therefore been almost wholly intercepted. The sudden thaw of this mass of snow, which commenced on Wed nesday last, has deluged the valleys; and the hardy sons of the mountains are now ploildin g knee-deep in wh a t they provincially call " snow broth. ". This immense aug, mentation of water has been alread y . attended w i t h unlcoked for effects. The lead-mines in this district are in general un der water ; and this conversion of snow to its pristine element has greatly added to the usual impediments. The Water groove mine, near Eyam, just before the down-fall, totally " rolled;" and the workmen had commenced work; but this change, it is feared, will arrest for awhile the progress of the highly commendable speculators. The power ful steam-engine erected at this mine has, through its present limited means, been found incompetent to keep at all times the works sufficiently clear. It is calculated that when the extra pumps are in work, the engine will, as occasion may require, be enabled to lift from the wo r k s a continually flowing volume of water, equal to a circular column of five feet in diameter. The outlay has been enormous, but not the least doubt exists of a satisfactory result.— Sheffield Iris. FUNERAL OF MR. DAVIDGE.—It has been arranged that the funeral shall take place on Tuesday next, and it is expected that the body will be followed to the tomb by a great many m em b ers o f t h e t h eatr i ca l profession ; for few men were more beloved as a thea trical manager than the deceased, EVENING S N AMERICAN NEWS, WEDNESDAY ~.., (EXPRELSivSERI:oRoOL,M LIVERPNOT.O7;wp.).. 11 N tl N i r e in l s i t a . v i e nc iie u c s e iv iv e e . d New York SOUTH AMERICA.—A formidable w hich has taken place in the province of Paraiba, intelligence of which arrived to-day, le threatened to extend along the northern fro; tiers of the Brazils.
