HANOVER, Jax. 22.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge set out the day before yesterday for Got tingen, where order is restored, as well as in the neigh bourhood. Several of those persons who put themselves at the head of the insurrection in Gottingen were arrested on the entrance of the troops and have been sent to this city. Others have saved themselves by flight, and the hue and cry is raised after them. Some of the troops sent to Gottingen will return to this city in a few days ; the troops that were assembled in our neighbourhood have, for the most part, returned to their several quarters. All the students have now left Gottingen. The closing of the University, and the burden of quartering the troops, will cause the citizens of Gottingen to suffer severely for their foolish conduct. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Prke Current of yesterday.) SUGAR—The estimated sales of Muscovades during the last week were 3,300 hhds. and trcs., at prices fully Is. higher; the purchases would have been much more extensive, if the holders had not withdrawn their Sugars for much higher prices, on ac count of the agitation of the question of the distillation from corn being prohibited. The stock of West India Sugars is now 26,841 hhds. and trcs., being 1,665 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius 12,309 bags, being 2,880 less than last year. The weekly delivery of West India Sugars 3,305 hhds. and trcs. being 120 less than last year ; of Mauritius 2,816 bags, being 1,311 more than in the corresponding week of 1830. This day the atten dance of buyers was limited, on account of the storm of snow ; there was also a very limited supply of Sugars on account of a great portion of the holders being induced to stand out for much higher prices by withdrawing their Sugars from sale. At the close of the market the estimated sales were 700 hhds. and trcs., the prices a shade higher than last week. The Refined Market had rather a heavy, appearance last week, but goods were scarce, and the holders evinced no inclination to force sales in the lan. guid state of the trade, they asked rather higher prices on ac. count of the rise in the prices of raw Sugar, and, in consequence, no transactions of any extent were reported. The late request for crashed became more limited. This day there is little alteration. EAST INDIA SUGAR—At the public sale of 2,000 bags Manila Sugars last week the biddings were brisk, the prices ad vanced Is. per cwt., There was a similar improvement in Mau ritius, Bengal, and Siam Sugars. FOREIGN SUGAR.—By public sale on Friday, 152 chests Brazil Sugar sold rather higher ; low to middling white 225. a 265. 6d. By private contract some white Pernams sold 265. 6d., and a parcel of low at 17s. Average price of Sugar 245. 630. per cwt. COFFEE.—There was no alteration in the prices of British Plantation Coffee last week, but the Demerara and Berbice, so long neglected, went off with more briskness, at fill prices. Foreign and East India Coffbe went off about Bs. higher ; good ordinary coloury Brazil, 375. ; good Ceylon, 355. ; Mysore, 425. a 475. 6d. ; the Mocha sold on rather lower terms, 695. a 725. This day, by public sale, 70 casks Jamaica Coffee sold at full prices; fine fine ordinary, 51s. ; middling, 575. 6d. The market continues firm.

Sandys and Sons, atter nies, against an agency client of theirs, at Portsmouth, to recover the amount of their bills upon him. An acknowledgmeut of the amount due was proved by the defendant's letters, &c. Mr. RICHARDS, for the defendant, submitted that the plaintiffs must be nonsnited, there being no evidence that a signed bill had bee■ delivered. Lord TENTERDEN ;aid it WJB unnecessary. Mr. RICHARDS then referred to the recent case of " Hemings v. Wilton," in which, he said, his Lordship had sustained a similar objection raised by Mr. Kelly, upon the statute of the 3d James 1., c. 7, which enacted " that all attornies and solicitors should give true bill-. unto their masters or clients, or their assigns, of all charges concerning suits prosecuted or defended for them, sub scribed with their bands or names, before they should charge their said clients with the same." The Learned Counsel said it had been gee erally understood in the pro fession, that the statute had been repealed by the Act of the 12th George 11., but the latter Act was not applicable to -bills delivered by an attorney to his agent, and therefore the statute of James applicable to such bills remained un repealed.

The Minister f w Foreign Affairs communicated to the Assembly in the King's name, his Majesty's answer to the protocol signed by the Ministers of the five great Powers at London on the 9th of January. In this answer the King says, that obliged to yield to superior force, he will cause the Scheldt to be opened on the 20th of January, but on the condition that hostilities shall cease on the part of the Belgians and the siege of Maestrich be raised, reserv ing all his Majesty's rights, conformably to the law of na tions and to the protocol of the Congress of Aix-la-Cha pelle. The Minister added, that it was hoped by the King that this answer would contribute to forward the negociations, and with respect to the proposed separation of the two parts of the kingdom, the Minister expec's to be shortly able to make a communication to the Chamber. The Minister laid the document which had been read on the President's desk. ItKET.—Jan. `Aal r 0.1. to 1 to 39.1. N. Per Stone. - p. aty ••••••Meel.... et 0 I Lord TENTERDEN doubted whether the statute of James was applicable to agency bills ; and being told by a gentleman at the bar; that the bill in the ease of " Hemings v. Wilton" was not a sill for agency bu sineus, though both parties were attorneys, his Lordship decided that the ease did not corns within the statute of James, and a verdict was therefore entered for the plaintiffs. Mr. RICUARDS wished to have an opportunity of taking the opinion of the Court upon the point, but Lord TENTERDEN refused to reserve it, or to suspend the judgment, observing that he was clearly of opinion that the word' " masters or clients" could net be considered as applicable to agents. [We are induced to notice this ease, as, in consequence of what passed in the case of " Hemings v. Wilton," an opinion Berms to have been entertained by some profes sional persons, that Lord Tenterden had decided that it was necessary to deliver signed bills to agents before an action could be brought.] s. t o, • to Is. ,4d.` l'er lb. - eti Horse Hides.. 0 , all Ditto isr CARPETS, 6 drawing-room, &c. ; the Patent Damask Kidder kroter and V ene ti an C a rp e ts, for bed-rooms and breakfast t t h , l B 7 e ; stair-carpeting, hearth-rugs, floor cloths, drug ' 1 % 4 assortment of patterns forwarded by coach, or other th e i te l a nae, to any part of the United Kingdom, or by Nj o rm'n carte within ten miles for the coach carriage.— v 'etters punctually attended to.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111ANSIO4V-110 For some time past the partners in one of the first banking-houses in the City have been beset by a person who formerly was in the East India Company's service. The individual alluded to was in the habit of going into the banking-house and demanding loudly recompense for losses which he said he had sustained at the hands of a great capitalist, who was well known to the gentlemen of the firm, whom be considered, in consequence of the con nexion, morally, if not legally, responsible ter him fur the amount of the injury inflicted. No notice was at first taken of the application of this extraordinary claimant ; but his violence had lately increased. He had made an appeal to the Lord Mayor, in doing which he gave a history of some very great kindnesses af forded to him by the firm. The Lord Mayor conceiving that the unfortunate man was labouring under a delusion, gave directions to Mr. Cope, the Marshal, to maks, some inquiries on the subject. The Marshal ascertained that the applicant had, some years ago, fallen into the hands of some Jews, who were not, what they call a xiongst the shopkeepers, " particular to a shade," and been stripped by them of considerable property; that the bankers had, from compassionate motives, rendered him pecuniary assistance; but that he presumed upon their humanity, and, with cha racteristic moderation, limited his further request for as sistance to something under 10,000/., and declared that they were his debtors to that amount. It was thought necessary to station an officer near the entrance to the banking-house liable to such disagreeable aggressions, and Daniel Forrester had directions from the Lord Mayor to take the intruder into custody if he should impede the business of the concern. His Lordship had previously expostulated with the man, but the reply to his Lordship's observation—tiat the gentlemen accused had acted with uncommon liberality—was," Aye, there it is—_ why did they do so? Why did they send me bele and there, if I had no claim ?" . . The annoyance having been continued, it was at last found necessary to oblige this singular claimant to procure securities. He went into the banking-bou e a few days ago, and after having repeated his demand upon the firm in a furious manner, said, said, upon being told to quit the counting-house, that he supposed the business would end as Bellingham'e affair ended. One of the partners appeared at the Justice-room, and gave evidence as to the expressions used by the defendant, and the frequent annoying visits paid by him to the bank ing -house, at the same time declaring that there was not the shadow of a claim upon the part of the deluded man, and that all that had been done for him had been done from motivis of humanity. The Loan Mayon, immediately ordered the defendant to find bail. The driver of the van of the Steam Washing Com. pany was charged with having diiveu against the gig of a gentleman named Jones, with intent to overturn or knock it to pieces. The driver of the van, it appeared, as he drove along Lea.denhall-strert, got into the place of the gig which Mr. Jones was driving, and, in doing so, whipped his horses in such a manner against the small vehicle. that it ap peared impos,ible for the gentleman to escape without loss of life. Mr. Jones called out to the fellow, but the only reply he received was a hearty curse and a horrible epithet, and the defendant again sh ipped his horses. The wheel of the van at once dragged off the foot iron of the gig, and many persons cried out that the gentleman would be killed. The Lotto "MAyon said, that such conduct was too bad to punish with the fine of 1/., all the law permitted him to inflict. He should oblige the defendant to find bail t.) answer the complaint of Mr. Jones, who be hoped would, for the sake of humanity, prosecute. Mr. Jones most assuredly would prosecute. 13 OW-STREET. An Irishman named William Healey was charged with having assaulted a police constable named Wintle, by wounding him in the eve with the point of his umbrella• The defendant found bail in the course of the day. On Tuesday last Mr. G. H. TRIMBEY7 merchant, of London, with Mr. WIMBLE, ironmonger, of Lewes, had the honour of being introduced to his MA JESTY, at the Palace at Brighton, by T. R. KEMP, Esq. , one of the Members of this borough, and of presenting to his MAJESTY a cast-iron waistcoat, of the most delicate texture, which the KING was graciously pleased to com mend as most exemplary and useful, and conducing, al , ? , to high attainments of perfection by the persevering skill of artificers in iron.—Sussex Advertiser.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN PERRING.—On Sunday morning Sir JoHN PERRING, Bart. died at his • house, Burton-crescent, at the advanced age of 69, after a severe illness of several months. The highly respecied and lamented Baronet was lately appointed one of the Ma gistrates at the Town Hall, Southwark, and was second se nior Alderman, being elected on the retirement of the l a te Chamberlain, RICHARD CLARK, Estl., for Bread. street Ward in 1793, was Sheriff in the year 1800, and Lord Mayor in 1803. By this event there are two vacan cies for the Aldermanic gown. BREAD -STREET WA RD.—ln consequence of the death of Sir JOHN PERRING, late Alderman of this Ward, a most active canvass is going forward for the va cant gown. There are two candidates in the field—Mr. CHUBB, a Common Councilman, and 'F. WARD, Esq., late Sheriff for the City. It is also said that Mr. BooTH intends to come forward. THE MONUMENT.---Ile chipping off the old lying inscription has begun. A vessel has arrived at Nice, which brings a report that a principality in Morocco has hoisted the tri coloured flig. SELIi - ILLUSTRATION.—In the Jamaica House of A ssem bl y, a mot i on b e i ng ma d e f ar l eave to bring in a Bill to prevent th e frau d s o f w h ar fi ngers , Mr. PAUL Pi ttrPs, Member for St. Andrew, rose and said— " Mr. Sp ea k er, I second the motion ; the w h ar fi ngers a r e to a man a set o f rogues; I know i t we ll ; I teas one , myself f or ten years."—Mirror. The Arros,Nev-GINEam, stated that this was au in. formation, tilled at the instance of the Crowe, to recover certain penalties incurred by the defendant, Wm. Finch, for harbouring and concealing foreign manufactured silks, knowing them to be ek.stra'iaud. The defendant was a p rson who cart ied on business at the booking-office of the Saracen's Head, in Friday -street, and from information received by the Custore-house officers, they were induced to proceed to the premises of the defendant, on the Slat of August last, of whom they demanded permission to search. The defendant desired them to produce their authority, and having done cc, he deeied the correctness of their autho rity, and made use of several opprobrious epithets. The officers then sent far farther assistance, during which time two men canto and moved the cases out of sight which contained the silks. Having procured the ne cessary assistance, the officers proceeded to seize the cases, which they foend to contain 41 pieces of plain silk, three pieces of figured silk, aid three pieces of satin, which they conveyed to the Custom-house, and which were valucal at 3841. In consequence of further information, the efficere again went to the house of the defendant, on the 34 of September, and discovered in a back warehouse, which they described as a hay-loft, two boxes containing 634 pieces of foreign gauze riband of the value of 2251., together with a quantity of oil paper. such as was said to be used in the packing of smuggled silks. The cases seized on the 81st of August were di rected to Mr. Denis, Yen-office, Old 'Change, but it did not anoear that there was any ..0b in existence The direction to the packages seized on the 3d of Sep tember had bees torn off. Several witnesses were called on the part •f the Crown, who detailed the facts above related. Mr. KELLY addressee' the Jury on behalf of the de fendant at a very considerable length. ME ATTORNEY- GENERAL having replied, __.. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in suintning up, said there were three points for the consideration of the Ju y :-Ist, whether tike articles in question were contraband ; 2d, whether they were actually in the possession of the de fendant; and 3d, whether they were in his possession with a knowledge that they had never paid duty. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, so far as re gards the first transaction, and Not Guilty on the second. They likewise earnestly recommended a mitigation of the penalties.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.—It appears from the official returns, lint auto up, that the number of insol vent debtors discharged under the present Act, up to the end of 18.'49, amounted to 51,000 ; their debts, four mil lions sterling; assets averaged one farthing in the pound, and the expence of di ,, charge 251 each prisoner. Not more than 65 out of every 1,200 "estates" produced any assets at all ! The annual salaries of the four Commissioners amount to 11,2541. Their travelling expenses, which are necessarily great, are net included in this sum. The mode in which the financial question be tween Holland anti Belgium is to be disposed of, is neces sarily a matter of much interest and anxiety with the Dutch capitalists. Some rumours have been current to day with regard to the intention of the Allies en this sub. ject, which it is therefore worth while to repeat, especially as there are reasons fur believing that they are not alto gether without foundation. It in proposed, then, according to the prevalent report, to fix upon Belgium all that por tion of the debt which has arisen out of the construction of the fortresses on the frontier; and also all the debt created for the internal improvement of that country, by the formation of roads, canals, bridges, and other public works. Of the amount of the last named portion of debt we have not heard any estimate made, but the cost of erecting the fortresses is calculated at 210,000,000 francs, or nearly 10,000,000/. sterling,—a large debt for a coun• try of so small extent, and likely to be met with more opposition than the debt for internal improvements, of the fair liability to which there can be no second opinion. It is understood to be the wish of the Allies, and on that point there cannot, indeed, be any doubt, to apportion the weight fairly, and not to cramp the energies of either State by a debt disproportioned to its ttioans.— Times. The anniversary of the formation of the Po litical Union, we rindai•ssand, was celebrated on Tuesday, by dinners at various taverns and public houses. At the Globe about sixty members dined, Mr. Tnostas Arr- WOOD presiding sad Mr. MUNTZ and Mr. B. HADLEY officiating as vice-chairmen. In the course of his re marks from the chair, Mr. Arrwoon is stated to have said, that the Union " had now tegistered in their books about 9,000 members, paying from 4s. to two guineas per annum ; and that considering the inflnenee which these 9,000 men exercised over the whole population of the town, containing liio,ooo souls, and that nearly equal influence which they exercised over the inhabitants of the populous manufacturing towns anti distriets around them, containing also from 200,000 to 500,000 inhabitants more, the importance of the Union, considered in this light, as influencing a dense population of 400,000 souls, was far too great to be disregarded. 'The Union, he ad ded, had condensed tie moral power of ibis great popm. laton, and gathered it, as it were, into an electrical mass, which was powerful to every good purpose, and utterly impotent to every bad one. Suppose, for instance, their good Kist should meet with difficulties in his path from the pertinacity of the oligarchy,—suppose they should re fuse to obey the laws, and should make fight spun the occasion—why, the very moment the KING commanded them, they would produce a national guard that would be like a wall of fire around his throne.—(Cheers.) It was not too much to say, that if the KING required it, they could produce hint, in this dist►iet, at his ordets, within a month, two armies, each of them as numeroas and as brave as that 11 , trieli moque:red at NY aterloo."—Berminy i hoes Gazette. Mr. CURTIS, in seconding the resolutions, ar:- madverted at considerable length upon each topic. With respect to the payment of the Vicar he had to observe that some few years ago his stip e nd was between 4001. and 500/. per annum; 't was subse quently made 1,2004, that the parish might not be subjected to the odious tax of 2.. 9d. in the pound, which was brought forward in certain quarters at the same time, yet the 1,200/. a year was insuffi cient, and it had been raised to 1,800/. He (\lr. Curtis) was satisfied that the parish of Cr ipplegute, and every other parish in the metropolis, wouhi have acted more wisely at once to have met and opposed the tax of 2s. 9d. at the period it was proposed; had that step been adopted, they would not now have needed to debate on the point. The speaker then entered upon a statement to chew that many cler gymen were paid for doing nothing, in fact, that Jeremy Bentham had said, that a schoolboy could perform their duties; and he (Mr. Curtis) spoke of his own knowledge, when be said that a great num ber of the clergy were in the habit of paying at the rate of 10s. 6d. for each sermon, which they read to their flocks as their own composition.—(A laugh.) He seconded the resolutions with much satisfaction. Mr. DILLON contended that there was no autho rity for tithes in the New Testament, it was only to be found in the Old, instituted on behalf of the Lc rites, who formed a tenth of all the people. The heavy municipal tax to which coals are liable, was much to be deprecated ; especially the system of metage; there was a metage fee of 4d. charged for coals on shipment, and an additional W. was im posed on the cargo being landed. Mr. JONES (it prr cated the imposition of the as. sessed taxes, and supported the laying on of a spe , cies of property-tax, by which means the poor would be relieved. He was decidedly opposed to the coal tax; and in pressing for a revision of the tithe system all over England, he stated of his own knowledge that one individual, who withstood the payment of 21. 9d. in the pound, was drawn into the Court of Exchequer, next into the Court of Chancery, and, finally, the case was brought before the House of Lerd., and the party appealing had to pay not only the 2s. 9d. claimed, but 300/. of expences, so forti fied were the Clergy by Acts of Parliament. lir. Jonesconeluded by eulogising Sturges Bourne's Act. Mr. FRANKS said, that Sturges Bourne's Act gave a plurality of votes.—(Hear.) • Mr. Battly, Mr. Haines, Mr. Alderman, Mr. Newell, and Mr. Taylor, severally supported the re solutions. A letter from the Vicar of the parish was read, in which he declined all conference with the pa rishioners on the subject of his tithes; and said the tithe system was to be brought soon before Parlia ment; that it had been his great object to live on terms of harmony and friendship with his parisL•io ners during the twenty-nine years he had been their Vicar—( laugh)—and that arrears of tithes, to a considerable amount, were due to him. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he had intended to pro pose that some arrangement should be entered into between the parish and the Vicar; but having heard his letter read he should not make any remark on the subject, farther than that soon after the assem bling of Parliament he should move for a return of sixty-nine offices, and the emoluments attached, with a view to their reduction to the standard of 1792. After a protracted conversatiou of no int,rest, the resolutions were carried, amid a Committee of nine individuals was appointed to watch the progress of the same, and to report thereon. Thanks were thin voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. Yesterday the despatches f o r B enga l and China, by the ship Farquharson, Captain JOHN CRUICK • SMANK, were closed at the Elm India llou,e, and de livered to the purser of that ship. We are requested to state that NATHANIEL BLOOMFIELD, the brother of the poet, did not die young, as stated in a paragraph copied into the Herald of yester day, from an Evening Paper—he being still alive in his seventy-second year, " in poverty and confined by palsy for many months past, and receiving scanty re lief from a. parish in which he paid rates for more that t irty years.—Morning Herald. In some parts of the country reading clubs upon a novel plan have lately been established. They are open on Sundays only, and the meetings commence at two o'clock. Each person, whether subscriber or not, pays a penny. One of the company is appointed to read aloud ; and thus, with intervals of discussion and con versation, the time is passed till about nine o'clock in the evening. Neither drinking nor smoking is allow.d. These institutions are, as yet, in their infancy : but at one of them, in Norwich, 600 persons were collected on the two last Sundays. None but ultra-radicsl papers are in troduced into these soirees, The French, of all nations in the world, com mit the most ludicrous mistskee in copying or translatiog from any other language. For instance, the " Revue Encyclopedique," a Parisian work of some pretensions, in noticing Sir WA LTI It SCOTT'S " Religious Discourses, by a Layman," called them " Sermons, par on Rode (Sermons, by a Poet), the translator, doubtless, imagin ing that " lay-man" must necessarily be a derivative from the word lay (a poem), as used in the " Lay of the Last Minstrel," a supposition the more plausible, as Sir WAL TER was th.e author of that work. We understand that the Bill relative " to the assaying and marking of gold and silver wares" has excited a lively sensation amongst the jewellers and silversmiths of this town. Apprehension appears to be entertained that, should the Bill receive the sanction of the Legislature, the gold and silver trade of Birmingham must be severely injured, if nut destroyed. It is also considered matter of fair complaint that the Bill, by attempting to inlet tyre with the natural course of the trade, and prescribing the particular manner in which it shall be conducted, is at variance with those liberal commercial principles which for sonic time have been acted upon, and ate now pretty generally recognised.—Birmingham Gazette.

Ile is a good-looking man, remarkably fine open countenance, was formerly a Nlameluke slave, but being a great favourite with the Paella, is raised to the rank of General, and commands all the troops about Alexandria. We met at his house about twelve o'clock, and were entertained with music, dancers, wrestlers, and jugglers. At two o'clock we were called up stairs to dinner. I was surprised on entering to find a long table laid out precisely in the English style, and wine in decanters with glass services, saltcellars, &c. The feast commenced with soup, followed by fish, and so on to a second and third course.
