It appears that 623 persons, members of the University of Oxford, had given a promise to vote in .favour of the Puseyite candidate for the Poetry Professorship. They constitute two-fifths of the whale promisors, and are, therefore, a fair example of the University. It is worthy of notice that night after night the Ultra-Protestant and Tory Standard, which must be considered good authority on this subject, has described the whole of the Puseyites as men in whom no trust could be placed; and only last night it said sneeringly it would be sorry to pledge itself that the friends of Mr. WILLIAMS would keep faith. That Journal has professed an opinion throughout that the morality of the 623 is of the lowest and most des picable description, and its testimony to the cha racter of Oxford men we can assure it shall not be lost to the world. We receive and guard it - with satiaaction, as a confirmation of our repeated • assertion that the education at Oxford teaches a disregard of a man's word, and even of more solemn obligations. The contest which has elicited from the Stancturcisuch an unusual quantity of-truth, is at an end for the moment. The Puseyite can didate is withdrawn, and the candidate of the Low Church party; which, according to the Morning Post, loves ranting and spouting instead of dili gent study, and prefers hunting after vulgar popu larity to quiet prayer, is for the time to elect the Professor . of Poetry. Such a conclusion only hides, not heals, the schism which rages in the Church, and divides its members in proportion of three-fifths to two-fifths. Whenever place or pelf is in question, it will show itself anew, and again v ire rise to those just accusations which the parties now hurl against each oth er , w i t h the same good F ill uitli which they combine to Roman Cath o li cs and calumniate arid abuse' Dissenters.

More-, over, its chiefs are ambitious, and probably they surpass their opponents in ng m their miend. T means of h c e hai ing and fascinating t h e y ou two fifths will probably ere long be a majority, and then the good things of the Church will be given to the Puseyites. We doubt, however, whether they have in creased their strength, which the contest has ma nifested, by retiring from it. Their principles were attacked; the Professorship of Poetry has been taken from them, because they are dan gerous preachers, and not Protestants; and they) acknowledge the justice of the accusation by not fighting to the last. Their enemies have already asserted that they prefer flesh-pots to honest faith, and their retreat gives a colour to the ac cusation. Zealous and sincere men would have re lied on the justice of their cause; they might even have hoped, had they been a little fanatical, for a miraculous conversion on the day of election ; at least they would have shown their confidence by contending to the last, and the retreat will impede their success by implying the want of a sincere conviction. Truth-loving men make light of majorities, and would defy the whole world in its cause. The Puseyites have sacri ficed their principles to a majority, and they run the risk of being regarded as mere worldly minded parsons, who broach new doctrines, and lay claim to superior knowledge and sanctity, only the more effectually to clutch the good things of the Church. We do not take a particular interest in that war of etiquette which is now carrying on be tween France and Spain, though we can laugh heartily at the egregious fools who are dis puting . as it were which shall rise from his chair first, while society is tumbling about their ears. At the same time we must notice the completely foolish view of the matter which is taken by our Tories, and supposed to be a justification of Louts PHILIPPE. That Monarch lately accredited his Ambassadors to the REGENT MOTHER, who held her office by the same laws and the same title as ESPARTERO holds his. She was a foreigner, and only recognised and naturalised in Spain by the law. Louts however, now accredits his Ambassador to Spain, but not to the REGENT. He insists that M. SALVANDY shall deliver his credentials personally to the young QUEEN, not in the presence even of ESPARTERO. He urged uo such pretension when Madame MUNOZ filled the office which is now so much better filled by ESPARTERO. For this total change m his con duct, and total deviation from his former course, the reason assigned by the Tory Journals is this— . There is a difference between delivering credentials given by a Bourbon Sovereign, into the hands of the Bourbon mother of an infant Queen—orphan per force —and presenting them to a brutal soldier who holds her encaged. It may be seemly to great nations thus to state openly that their welfare, and all the precepts which guide international intercourse, are of no manner of importance compared to the family interests and feelings of such virtuous and wise people as the BOURBONS—it may be in good taste to put family predilections above the choice of a nation, but we submit to the Tories that the rea son they assign for Louis PHILIPPE'S conduct leads to a very different result from that of ac crediting an Ambassador to Spain. If ESPAR TEM) be a brutal soldier, who holds his Sovereign encaged—that Sovereign being a near relation of Louis PHILIPPE, and he bound to Spain by solemn treaties—it is at least his duty to cut oft all diplomatic intercourse with Spain, and show that he regards the QUEEN as a prisoner and Es- PARTERO as an usurper. By accrediting an Am bassador to Madrii.l at all, Lours PHILIPPE recog nised, as he ought to do, the choice of the Spa nish people, and the reason assigned for his con duet is a mere subterfuge to throw a halo of jus tification around pretensions which are unjusti fiable. We direct the attention of Directors of Railways to the letter of Mr. WILEY. in another partlifthe' paper, for we regret to say the complaint dOeS not apply to one line only. Whenever competition ceases, the servants ofCompanies and occasionally also the Directors become insolent, and are dis posed to make their own will law, without regard to the inconvenience and the danger (as in this case) of the passengers. We therefore publish the letter for the sake of the Proprietors, as well as the public, because, if the nuisance be not abated, the Legislature will be compelled to pass some stringent enactments to protect passengers on these great thoroughfare's, and will also be more inclined, than they have hitherto been, to encourage competing lines. As the case is, the Directors are amenable for; any loss caused by detention. No point of law. is more strictly adhered to both by the Judges and Jury than that which awards compensation to a passenger when a stage-coach proprietor fails to perform his part of the contract, and both common-sense and justice affirm that it must ap ply equally to the proprietors of railroads. The Madrid Papers received are of the 12th instant, but they bring no news of interest. Of the public confidence in the stability of the Government and the Constitution, no stronger proof can be given, than the fact that the Church property, ordered to be sold . for the benefit of the State, brings better prices than any other de scription of landed property in Spain. One house in Malaga, valued at 56,804 reals, brought 600,000 reals, and another valued at 80,673 reals brought 810,000 reals—one tenth paid down in hard cash, and the remainder to be paid up in three.years... A good deal of business has been transacted on the Stock Exchange, the amount done being equal to about 230,0001. sterling. The Three per Cents. were done at 211 cash, the Ftve per Cents., without the ten dividend warrants, at 20 fur ,cash ; te other Five per Cents. at fr0m.334 to 321 for - cash, and 334 to 331 at 60 days. - With the, Paris Journals we have received a report. of - the debate in the Chamber of Deputies . on Wednesday on the address in answer to the speech from the Throne. . The principal orator was M. G UIZOT, who delivered a tolerably long detente of the Foreign policy of the Government, and particularly of the Treaty of. the Five Powers of the 13th of July. M. GUIZOT contended that France could not remain longer in a state of isolation without greatly diminishing her own national influence and increasing that of each of the Four European Powers, more especially of Russia and Great Britain. The most remark4ble thing in this speech was the concluding sentence. M. GUIZOT deliberately told the Chamber that Lord ABERDEEN had stated that he regarded the French dominion in Africa as an accomplished fact—as a thing fixed and unalterable—and that the British Government accepted it as a thing to which England had no objection. Now, IVI.GUIZOT is not a person to make a randoin or unfounded statement. He is incapable of saying that which he knows to be untrue, to effect any purpose. For what purpose, then, did Lord ABERDEEN make such a declaration ? What called for the initiation, in an affair so unpleasant for the Porte, thus taken by the Noble Foreign Secretary? Why give up the check, which the withholding such a recognition gave us upon the ambition of France ? Or was the recognition of the French conquest in Africa, the price paid for the ratification of the perplexing Right of Search Treaty ? Altogether this seems a very odd, per plexing business. When out of office the Tories protested against the legality of the French con quests iu Africa, by which the SULTAN was de spoiled of so important a.part of his dominions. The Liberal Journals all condemn the verdict of the Chamber of Peers respecting the Siecle, but in terms which show that they have the wholesome terror of that tyrannical tribunal before their eyes. Whatever - the future may bring forth, the Peers at present have the - Press prostrate at their feet. The Deputies have become nothing, the Peers everything. Whom the whoml'eethrse pl ease .they send to the guillotine, Y . pl ease they imprison, and whom they please they plunder, under the plcii of imposing a _One. As.forth:e Deputies, they neither say nor do anything to check the desikiciive anarchical propensities of the Peers. They even bear tamely • the insults which are heaped upon individuals of their own body. His Countship M. DE SALVANDY has had an interview with the KING, at the Tuileries, at which he returned his credentials to the Court of Spain. M. SALVANDY lost his journey, but he gained a title. Madame MUNOZ was at the Palace to condole with the Ambassador on his being prevented by the REGENT from acting as her letter-carrier to the young QUEEN. The Deputies of sixteen departments, to the number of about 128, interested in tie projected iron railway from Paris to Nantes, and from Nantes to Bordeaux, are to meet to-day in one of the Committee-rooms of the Chamber, to examine the questions which interest the departments situated along this line. M. de Salvandy, who arrived at Paris the day before yesterday, was receirea in the evening at the Tuileries. After his reception most of the Ministers were summoned to the King's Cabinet. The Bishop of Algiers left Paris the day before yester day for Marseilles, where he will embark for Algiers. Our readers will remember that the Chamber of De puties has declared the election of M. de Salvandy valid, but that it deferred his admission till he should have produced the proofs of his paying the amount of taxes requisite to render him eligible. It is to be presumed that the report will be made in one of the next sittings, for without that M. de Salvandy cannot take part in the debates. We have two letters from Algiers, dated the Ist, which says that—" It seems more certain than ever that General Bugeaud will not leave the colony ; but we be lieve also that General de Rumigny remains. Thus we shall have in some sort two Governors. As we are in formed, the following is the manner in which matters were adjusted on the 7th after the arrival of the deputation from France. It was agreed that General Bugeaud should continue to be Governor-General, and that Ge neral de Rumigny should have the command of the army, or perhaps of tho division of Algiers. Orders were given on the same day to the servants of General Bara quay d'Hilliers to quie i the house occupied by the Gene ral, which was immediately done, and General Rumigny took possession of it. " It is said that General Baraquay d'Hilliers, offended at all that has passed, has desired to return to France, He feels himself to be supplanted by General Rumigny.' —Commerce.

At one o'clock albulletin was issued, of which the following is a copy:—" His Grace the Duke of Cleveland remains in the same state as yesterday." " St. James's-square, 21st January, 1842." DOVER, JAN. 20, 1842.—His Majesty the King of Prussia had not arrived at Ostend this morn ing at nine o'clock, when the packet left that port, but was hourly expected. The Firebrand steamer was in waiting for the conveyance of his Majesty and Suite to Woolwich. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The Stock Market did not to-day present any re markable feature, neither the public nor the jobbers coming forward to operate. Prices on the average were sustained notwithstanding. Money is still easy. Consols for present transfer were done at 89 to 89k closing sellers at this latter rate, and for Account at 891 to The Unfunded Debt remained at 16s. to 18s. premium, and East India Bonds at 10s. to 12s. premium. Bank Stock was worth 167, and India Stock 247 i. The New Three-and-m. 114€ per Cents. were at 98i to 98k, and the Three per Cent. Annuities at. 89i to 89i. The inactivity in Spanish Bonds at the present moment is considered very remarkable, seeing that the specula tions for a long time past have been based almost solely upon the expected arrival of Surra y Roll's Com missioner. The Active Bonds were to-day quoted 25 to 2-q, being flat. Portuguese Three per Cents. were at 204 ; Mexican improved to 294 30 ; Chiliau were steady at 70 ; Brazilian advanced to 65k, and Rus sian to 115 k ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were down to 51. There was some flatness in the Railway Shares, but no general depression. Brighton did not - fluctuate much, being 13+ to 121 discount. Birmingham and London were 794, Manchester and Leeds 2, and Great - Western 12 to 121 premium. National Provincial Bank of Erg land Shares'improved to par. The Foreign Exchanges were not so good this after noon, the rates being as follow :—Paris 25f. 72}c. to 75c. ; Frankfort 1491 to 150 ; Amsterdam 12 41 ; Ham burgh at 13 10} to 1 ; Antwerp 12 4; Trieste 9 51 to 52.

The all-engrossing subject among the Stockbroking interest in the City is at preSent the probable plan of M. Borralo; the Spanish Commissioner. The greatest uncertainty apparently exists upon the onepoint of intense interest to the bondholders, viz., whether there is any money forthcoming, and if so, how soon it wil ibe paid? We cannot say how gratified the bondholders would be to see the advertisement for the dividend in Tie Sun. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

MESMERISM AND PHRENOLOGY.—In our re port of the interesting proceedings at the Phrenological Society on Monday evening, we omitted a very curious extract from the Penny Cylopcedia, which was read by Dr. Elliotson :—" One of the most extraordinary pheno mena of this species of somnambulism, is the transfe rence of the faculties from their usual and appropriate or gans to the epigastriunt and other parts of the body— such as the extremities of the fingers and toes. Another is the still more surprising faculty of ' Prevision.' By the faculty of p rev i s i on , i t i s not meant t h at somnambu bulists enjoy an unlimited power of reading the pages of futurity, but merely that they predict. with the greatest precision and accuracy, the different symptoms and changes that are to take place in the course of their disease. This power is sometimes further extended."— Penny Cycloprdia, page 239, col. 1. We regret to record the death of the vene rable Master of the Charter House, the Rev. Dr. Fisher, who died at Kingston on Wednesday last. The Rev. Gentleman was in his 92d year. By his death there is also a vacancy in the Canon-Residentiaryships of Nor wich. By a somewhat remarkable coincidence, the Rev. Robert Watts, the Librarian of Sion College, who was exactly of the same age, died the same day at the Col lege. • The Rev. Mr. Watts was also Rector of St. Alphage, London-wall, and a Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathodr SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtc eptitton. " Who runs may read." roisExciN. The condemnation of the Siecle by the Chamber of Peers, has created a great stir among the Opposition Journals. The moderate 'supporters of the Orleans dy nasty all lament it. A summary of their opinions cannot but interest British politicians:— The Cou rrier Francais, a moderate Opposition Jour sais—" "ISL Ferree, in his address to the Chamber, asked if the moderation of the Siecle was to be made a circumstance of aggravation against him ? The reply of the Chamber was a sentence, which inflicts upon him a month's imprisonment, and 10,000 f. fine. The National, which had compared the Chamber to a charnel-house, was not punished with greater severity. How are we to explain the fact, that in an assembly of men who have grown old in the business of the world, and whose pas sions ought to have been calmed by age, there should be four who demanded three years' imprisonment, twenty one who demanded two years, and thirty-six for one year ? Put into the scale the article of the Siecle, and on the other side one year's imprisonment, and say whe ther such a punishment, for such an o ff ence , wou ld not be an enormity. The Constitutionnel, M. Thiers' organ, observes with equal bitterness :—" The sentence pronounced by the majority is sufficiently rigorous to be regarded as a seri ous and afflicting symptom. The article was without importance ; and the defence before the Chamber was respectful and moderate. Notwithstanding all this, the accused has been condemned to the maximum of the fine. What more could the Chamber have done against a journal opposed to the existing institutions, in punish ment of violent insults, and repress the audacity of a de fence which would increase the original offence ? We entreat the Chamber to reflect. It would not surely, in the present day, in order to adopt the system of an im prudent and exciting Government, lend itself to the dan gerous attempt at reaction." The following is from the National:—" We have little to say on the condemnation against M. Perree. We will merely make a simple comparison. Last year we had the misfortune to give way to our natural impressions, and wrote with a little warmth. This gave a shock to M. Seguier, and he and his colleagues condemned us to a month's imprisonment and 10,000 f. fine. M. Perree has just received the same punishment. We must frankly confess that we were more bitter than the Siecle towards the Palace of Medicis ; yet the Siecle meets with the same severity as the National. This was, without doubt, done in order to show that M. Daunant was right in re garding the offence the greater as coming from a dynastic journal. Thus a little venom in the Siecle, and -10,000f.; a great deal of venom in the National, and 10,0001'. If the supporters of the dynasty value the liberty of their opinions, they will do well to look-to this." The Siecle, writhing under the sentence, says ironi cally :—" It was not the fault of a great numbel• of the Peers that the sentence was not that of a year's impri sonment. The Chambers of the Restoration, even when they were gravely insulted, were not so severe. The dig nity of the Chamber will doubtlessly be much enhanced by this sentence. This is. a consolation for us, as we do not desire that France should ever suffer from the deca dency and, debility of its public bodies." The Commerce has the following relative to the return of the Count de Salvandy to Paris :—" The Count do Salvandy, for so we must in future call him, arrived at half-past one on Monday at his hotel in the Rue de Casette, and went the same evening to the Tuileries with his Secretaries of Embassy, for the purpose of delivering to the King his credentials, and explaining why he had not made use of them. We are assured that Queen Christina was there at the same time, of course by chance. This morning M. de Salvandy received several visits. His new and splendid carriage, with grand heraldic em blazonments, was to be seen in the court-yard. We are as yet ignorant if M. Salvandy is to preserve his title and appointment of Ambassador. All we know is that he will hold his Countship if he loses his embassy." In the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, M. Gui zot defended the foreign policy of the Government. The following sentence, with which he concluded, is highly important, and cannot but excite the attention of the British Parliament :—" We have been told (said M. Guixot) that we have made no accession of territory. For ten years we have been occupied with the conquest of Algeria, and it would be hereafter seen whether or not that conquest was important, and he could assure the Chamber that Lard Aberdeen had admitted that he looked upon the French conquest of Algeria as an fait accompli, and against which he had no objection to raise." According to a letter from Alexandria, of the 24th ult. in the Leipsic Gazette, as a Greek Bishop was returning from a tour in Upper It;ypt, the boat in which he was sailing was overtaken by a sudden squall of wind when off the Maison Carree, was upset, and sunk, the Bishop, his servant, and 11 other passengers, being drowned. The corpse of the Prelate was taken out of the water, and carried to the Greek convent at Alexandria, where it lay in state for 24 hours, end was then buried with all the rites of his religion. He was only 36 years old, but was generally esteemed. The Catholic Bishop was re turning with him at the same time, but, being in another boat; escaped his fate. , PITRILIC "071.1741M01T. The ' Times states that between the An ti-Corn•law League and the masses of the manufacturing population, there exists not only a contrariety of political aim, but an utter diversity of interest and feeling ; and adds, "in proportion as the Leaguers and their designs have fallen in public estimation, and in the chances of success within the last six months, the character and influence of the operative class have risen. Both have come forward and explained their views of the existing distress and its remedies ; and the superiority in every way, moral, intellectual, and practical has been with the operatives. ' The Advertiser, speculating on the course of policy likely to be pursued by Sir Robert Peel in the approach ing Session of Parliament, expresses its apprehensions that he has not the moral courage, whatever may be his convictions of duty, opposed as he knows he would b e by the colossal landed interest, to propose any alteration in the Corn-laws which will be of substantial service to the country. • The Post observes, in the course of a leading article, suggested by Doctor Hook's recent letter on the subject of the Bishopric of Jerusalem—" The public now take a very decided interest in matters relating to the Church. The apathy and lukewarmness of past times are gone. This we owe, under Providence, to the earnest writings of the men of the Oxford School, who certainly have wrought, within the last ten years, a wonderful change, and have diffused a general sense of the importance and sacredness of our ecclesiastical institutions, which pre viously had no place in the public mind." The Herald, in commenting on the Times' hint of the expediency of prosecuting some of the Anti-Corn-law speakers at Edinburgh, says—" The recommendation is nothing less than to revive the ex-officio days of Lord Castlereagh, and to fill our jails as full of Anti-Corn law repeaters as Lord Melbourne and his colleagues did of the Chartists. What can the Times mean by recom mending such a step ? The recommendation is simply another proof of its total want of judgment. The Times, we repeat, is rudderless. The Chronicle is of opinion that the coalition of the Times with Chartists and Socialists, and its "reckless advocacy of some of their wildest doctrines (such as that about machinery), is an indication either of a sad lack or discretion on the part of its managers, or of a reek. less party-spirit among a portion of the supporters of the present Ministry." Our Contemporary adds,—" It is utterly impossible to maintain a crusade against ma chinery, as a substitute for maintaining the Corn-laws." .moNET—TIZA.DE—COMIYiERCE. A large and important meeting of shipowners took place at Newcastle on Tuesday last, to consider the pre sent depressed state of the shipping interest, when it was carried by •an amendment that " the meeting, though great difference of opinion exists on the subject., are;convinced, after sixteen years' experience, that the dis tress of the shipping interest ',vas mainly occasioned by the encouragement given to the foreign shipping and seamen of the. north of Europe by the navigation laws, and praying an alteration to be made by Parliament, to recover the former protection." At the half-yearly general meeting of the London and Brighton Railway Company, held on Thursday at the London Tavern, the late accident, on being alluded to in the report, was solely attributed by Mr. Rastrick to the unfortunate wetness of the weather, as the brickwork was as sound as any in the kingdom. The total ex penses necessary to carry out the remainder of the line, including accommodations at Shoreham harbour, would be collectively 270,000 L The balance of cash in hand was 8,222 L 14s. 7d., showing an increase over the pre vious half-year of 60,000/.

WINDSOR; TErtntsDAv.--Yesterday evening, after tne Royal dinner party had broken up at the Castle, a re hearsal of the sacred music to be performed in St. George's Chapel during the ceremony of the christening of the Prince of Wales took place in the Music-room, by com mand and in the presence of her Majesty, for the first time, by the Queen's private band, which was led by Mr. Anderson. Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the members of the Court were also present. The pieces performed were a march from the oratorio of Joseph, preceded by a martial symphony from the ora torio of Belshazzar, and Handers Occasional Overture. This afternoon a change in these compositions was de termined upon by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and a grand march from the oratorio of Judas Maccabeus has been commanded to be substituted for the martial sym phony and the march in Joseph. The order of the music to be performed in St. George's Chapel, which has now been definitively arranged, will be as follows: The " March" from Judas Maccabeus will be played upon the entrance of the procession to the choir. The ceremony will then commence, the " Amens" being sung by the full choir. At its conclusion the " Hallelujah Chorus" will also be sung by the full choir, consisting of the lay clerks and choristers of St. George's, several gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, St. James's, and nume rous assistants. Upon the procession retiring from the chapel, Handel's Occasional Overture will be performed by the organ and the full band. In addition to her Majesty's private band, the follow ing gentlemen of the state band will attend and perform at the chipel of St. George during the ceremony:— Violins—Mr. F. Cramer, master; Mr. Blagrove, Mr. G-. Anderson, Mr. J. Loder, Mr. T. Cooke, and Mr. W. Cramer. . Viola—Mr. A. Moralt: Trombones—Mr. Smithie and Mr. Smithie, jun. Trumpets—Mr. Harper and Mr. Irvin. The last rehearsal, at which the whole of the instru mental performers will be present, will take place at St. George's Chapel on Monday, at twelve o'clock. The March from Hercules (an oratorio, and not an opera, as it has been stated), by Handel, was performed by command of William IV., at the confirmation of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge in August, 1835. It has been performed upon several similar occa sions in religious edifices ; and as it has no libretto, the music partakes of the same character which appertains to the marches in the sacred oratorios of its eminent composer. .The platform in front of the altar in St. George's Cha pel, for her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal and illustrious sponsors, and their immediate attendants, is upwards of 30 feet long (extending from north to south,) and 12 feet wide. The walls of the various aisles through which the pro cession will pass have been thoroughly cleansed and whitewashed, and the whole of that part of the chapel assumes an extremely neat appearance. Her Majesty will retire from the Chapter-room (whither the Queen will first proceed upon leaving Wolsey's Hall) and enter the choir at a door nearly opposite, in the north aisle, leading up a short flight of steps, direct upon the platform. A few yards lower down this aisle (towards the nave) a temporary gallery has been erected facing eastward, capable of containing about 60 visitors, who will thus possess an excellent view of this part of the procession, and who will be admitted to the chapel by tickets from the Lord Chamberlain. The King of Prussia and other Royal and distin guished personages will, upon entering the chapel from Cardinal Wolsey's Hall at thetack of the altar, proceed to the south aisle and thence enter the choir, upon the platform, from a door opposite to the Queen's entrance. A similar gallery to accominodate the same number of visitors as the one in the north aisle, has been erected in the southern aisle, to which those invited will also be admitted by tickets from the Lord Chamberlain. Mr. Hay ter, painter of history and portraits to the Queen, was at the Chapel this morning, for the purpose of selPcting an eligible elevation whence to take a sketch of the important ceremony, for a grand historical paint ing to be executed by command of her Majesty. From 40 to 50 distinguished visitors will be admitted to the Queen's closet, a position which will command an excellent view of the ceremony, being just over the plat form where the Royal and illustrious party will take their stations during the performance of the solemn rite. It is stated that after the christening the public will be admitted by tickets to view the interior of St. George's Chapel and St. George's Hall, which will be left, with reference to the fittings and decorations, in the same state as on the day and evening of the ceremony. Mr. _Stacey, of the Ordnance Department in the Tower, has been occupied for some days past in arrang ing the beautiful specimens of arms, &c., which were collected by his late Majesty George IV., and also in de corating the ante-room leading to the Waterloo Chamber. The Lord Chamberlain arrived at Windsor this after noon by the two o'clock train from town. His Lordship' has been busily engaged during the whole time he has been at the Castle in inspecting the progress of the ex tensive preparations now -being made in the private and state apartments at the Castle, and also in St. George's Hall, under the superintendence of Mr. Saunders. Yesterday afternoon messengers were despatched from the Castle to countermand the attendance of two cavalry regiments, which had been ordered to Windsor as a por tion of the troops which were to have been reviewed in the Great Park on Thursday next. Several large vans laden with furniture from Bucking ham Palace arrived at the Castle at six o'clock this evening. REJOICINGS AT WINDSOR. Extensive preparations are in progress for a general illumination throughout the town on the evening of the christening. Numerous flags, banners, and .other appro priate devices will be displayed by the inhabitants during the day, which will be one of universal rejoicing and festivity. A grand dinner will take place at 5 o'clock in the Townhall (the Mayor in the chair), for which upwards of 100 tickets have been issued. The stewards, 22, com prise several of the Magistrates, Aldermen, and Mem bers of the Town Council, and other of the principal in habitants. In order that the humbler classes should be enabled to rejoice upon this festive occasion, 1,000 families will be supplied on the day preceding with meat, bread, tea, coffee, and ale, in the average proportion to each of 61b. of meat, 3 half-quartern loaves, 2s. in tea and coffee, and 6 pints of ale. This expense will be defrayed by the gracious donation of her Majesty of 3201. The subscriptions of the inhabitants, amounting to nearly 2501. more, will be distributed to the same number of families in coals, the whole being under the direction of a Committee appointed at a public meeting of the inhabitants. The persons who will thus be benefited amount to upwards of 4,000. The supply of the benevolenCes of her Majesty is to be entirely confided to the Royal tradesmen in the town, viz., four butchers, two bakers, three grocers, and one brewer. This arrangement (of which her Majesty doubtlessly knows nothing) has naturally created great discontent in the minds of other Windsor tradesmen in the same lines, who consider that, upon a public occasion of this nature, such favours should be fairly and equally divided amongst the whole. It is so with the donations of coals, paid for out of the town subscriptions, the several coal-merchants each supplying a portion. On the Thursday following the christening there will be a public ball in the Town-hall to celebrate the event. Ralph Neville, Esq., M.P., the Mayor, Capt. Bulkeley, Ist Life Guards, and 20 of the most influential inhabit ants, officiating as stewards. On the next evening a grand vocal and instrumental concert will take place in the Theatre Royal, in aid of the Building Fund of the Windsor and Eton Literary and Scientific Institution (patrons, their Royal High nesses Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, the High Steward of the Borough), conducted by Dr. G. J. Elvey. Amongst the numerous vocalists engaged are Miss Rainsforth, Mr. Wilson, Mr. W. Harrison, and Mr. J. Parry. The orchestra will consist of upwards of 70 performers, comprising the bands of the Royal Horse Guards and the 72d Highlanders, who will execute the whole of the music commanded to be played in St. George's Hall during the banquet on the evening of the christening, and selected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. A battery will be constructed in the Bachelor's-acre, upon which will be mounted the ordnance of the Cor poration, and Royal salutes will be fired during "the great, the important day." INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT AND ‘, ITS PRACTITIONERS." Within the lastlfew days the qualifications of some of the "practitioners' of the Insolvent Debtors' Court have been before the public, in the investigation of a person before Mr. Commissioner Bowen, who had " acted" in several cases to bring the insolvents before the Court, The subject has been under consideration for many years. and rules have been adopted by the Court to prevent the business of " agents," which was formerly carried on to a great extent. Some years ago it was a very common occurrence for several " clerks' to answer for an attorney as the cases were called on, and it was feared that they in fact employed the attorney on the schedules, giving a certain " fee" for using his name. A short time ago it was elicited that a " clerk" who had acted in cases which had been sadly neglected, had been an auctioneer and a tailor. He had taken the benefit of the Act, and was remanded for " eight months." The Commissioner told him he was a most improper person to interfere in the cases of insolvents, and ordered no more papers to be received in the office from the same individual. On the following day the Commissioner said he had before him " four" schedules of the same person. The Court investigated the conduct of the attorney, who declared that he was the actual party, and had sot lent his name. The Court eventually ordered him to complete the ne glected cases, telling him his future position in this Court depended on the manner in which he conducted himself. The " clerk" was dismissed from the Court, and the attorneys were warned against employing him. He was told that if it had been proved he had acted in the name of the attorney he would have been sent to Newgatei THE NEW Junca.--IVIr --- .

The three troops of. the Royal Horse Artillery lial.„ e ", - the command of Colonel Dyneley, C. 8., will march from Woolwich to-morrow for Windsor. On the first nig ht they will be billetted at Kingston, and o n the secontl,,6t , Staines or its neighbourhood, to be in readiness on W day of the christening, when their services will be re: : quired. One of the troops is a rocket troop, and the niel: have been actively employed in making preparations f ° `‘Tt a grand display during their stay at Windsor. The orders issued for the' Life Guards to hold then i. s selves in readiness to attend the King of Prussia frost! Greenwich to Wandsworth, where they will be relieve° by the 11th Light Dragoons (Prince Albert's own sars), and be by them escorted to Windsor, still r etool' uncountermanded ; and that is the present fixed route bf which his Majesty the King of Prussia will proceed W l ' mediately after landing at. Greenwich. During the dense fog which prevailed on Wednesd% morning, the Firebrand steam-ve s s e l, i n Ao i n g dt v the river, came in contact with 'another large stee — i vessel, and by the collision the Firebrand lost part her figure-head. The Shearwater ste am - vesse l, one e' the vessels composing the squadron, ran aground durini. , the fog in Northfleet-hope, and the Firebrand Lightning steam-vessels had to remain there until the Monkey arrived from Woolwich to as s i s t i n towing the Shearwater off. The Monkey returned t o Woolwich tir,' ; day, and the others proceeded to Ostend. It is non scarcely possible the King of Prussia can arrive in 0 ' country before Saturday. It is expected theßoyal Pa li ' I will at once embark in the steam-vessels, and that t a ll a y will return without waiting for the company of the 4. ".!1 ing vessels, and that the latter, after firing a Royal. 't' lute in the British Channel, will return to their resPef.o tire posts, owing to the unfavourable season of the Yomtli ROYAL MARINES.

The officers carrying the colours of the NV, were also present, and the spectacle w as ver y anirnate be ,4 , as the number of the men is larger than h a s been t i.
