Pitt was going to bring forward some measure which was cal culated to produce much harm to the country, and the Doctor having been informed of the evil intentions of the great Premier, went to the House of Commons. " I fixed, Sir," said Parr, "my eye upon Pitt. I gave him one of my looks (everybody knows my looks), and he could not utter a word, Sir. Ile rose, stammered, and sat down again ; and there I kept him off his legs till For had possession of the ear of the House ; and so the measure, when brought forward, was nugatory. Yes, yes, I think I may say that my eye saved the nation."

VIVI.4 ( ';iND•WILLIAMS. • The further arguments in` this ease were resumed at the opening of the Court this morning. It was stated, on behalf of the plaintiff, that his mine was in danger of being completely inundated by the water drained into it from the grounds of the defendants. This inconve nience had been particularly felt in the month of Q.lto ber and November last, when several hundred gallons of water per hour passed into the mine. It was con= tended that the 'defendants had no right to expose the property of the plaintiff to the damage and the danger thus incurred. It was alleged, on the other side, that the inconvenience complained of had existed for many years, and that the water had been allowed to pass into the mine at so•early a period, as the year 1803. It was also said that the inconvenience was in ordinary seasons inconsiderable, and'that the unusual quantity of water which flowed into the mine during the months of Octo ber and November last was owing to the wetness of the weather. His HoNona, in giving his judgment said, that he did not think it right at present to grant the injunction, because there was a good deal of obscurity with respect even to the le g al rightS of th e p ar t y . A s h e un d erstoo d the case, the ffect of granting the application ,of the plaintiff, would be to prevent the defendants from sink ing a pit at any depth they might please in their own grounds. Now he could not understand that because the mine of the plaintiff was effected by an excavation opened long since, 'no matter by whom, on his grounds, the defendants should cease to work their mines, or that they could not originally have opened them. He could not make out whether it was contended that there was anything illegal in the' act of the defendants— namely, their sinking a pit in their own soil ; or whether the damage complained es - , rose merely from the imper fect construction of a dam 'found: their pit. No alarm had been taken by the plaintiff until the month of Sep tember or October last, when it appeared that an unusual .quantity of water had found its way into the mine. But no one who lived in England, and remembered the wet ness of the weather in those months could feel surprised at such a fact. It appeared from the affidavits that water had flowed into the mine from the grounds of other parties besides those of the defendants ; and there was no evidence to show how far the incon venience complained of might or might not be owing to that cause. Before the Court could interfere, he should have it. clearly established that the pl a i n tiff tad a legal right to that protection which he claimed ; and he must say that that right had not yet been clearly proved. All he could do, therefore, was to let the motion:stand over for the present ;. but he would allow the plaintiff to bring an action at law, by which he might establish his right, and show the amount of damage he had sustained. an inferior Court. On this point of law a long argumer took place. The COURT postponed its decision. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE GEORGE DELIANSON CLARKE.

The first meeting for the season, 1842, was held on Tuesday evening, at the Institution, in Great George street, and was numerously attended. The President, Mr. Walker, took the chair at eight o'clock, when the ordinary, business was proceeded , with. The papers read were, a deription, accompan i e d by plans and drawings, of th YUlster Canal, by Mr. Casebourne ;an account GI the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, by Mr. Jackson, graduate; and of the water.pressure engines at 1 1 13ang, in Bavaria, by Mr. Baker, graduate, both of the latter being presentation papers, and also illustrated by drawings. The first gave rise to no re marks. The observations on the second had reference to the burnt clay used as ballast, and stated to be pre pared for Is. 9d. [er cubic yard,• and to the incline of one in thirty-seven in that line on which American en gines are worked. Doubts were expressed as to the permanent advantage of the use of burnt clay ballast, and the president urged on a gentleman present con nected with the Birmi ng h am an d Gl oucester R a il way, how desirable it would be to have accurate details of the efficient working of the American engines on the incline. The last paper was a most interesting and clever account of the eng ines at Illsang, whence it ap peared the brine from th salt mines was raised, and forced to a distance of sixty miles by water pressure only. The engines were of brass, and the pistons packed with leather. Previously and subsequent to the business meeting, much and welbdeseived attention was direetkd and given to two beautiful water colour drawings by Alr. Atkinson, of a palace for his Highness Nuwal Nazim, at Moorshedabad, de signed and built under the super intendence of Major-General M'Leod, engineer. The ralace is about 245 feet long, and 200 Net wide, the two fronts have porticos with columns (Grecian Doric), of thirty-six feet high, the one of six, and the other of eight ; the former approached by a flight of steps 110 feet wide, carried to the height of eighteen feet. The projections in this front are bold and well-ar ranged, and, with the smaller porticos of four columns, love a great variety of light and shad•. The entabla ture is continued all round the building. The palace, when viewed from either end, forms a splendid mass of architecture, and a curious contrast with the Mosque and Eastern buildings and ve g etation in the . drawings.

A long list of defaulters to the Society, w.. I, had ceased to become members, was next read by the President. A communication was read from Mr. Schwafe, the Society's corresponding member at Geneva, giving en interesting account of the recent topographical labours in Switzer land, an extensive map of which is in progress. A let ter was read from Mr. Kippert, of Berlin, addressed to Colonel Leake, giving an account of a new expedition of discovery which has just left Prussia, to follow up the discoveries recently made by Mr. Fellowes in Asia Minor. It consists of two Professors of the College of Posen, with a naturalist, antiquarian, end complete staff of scientific men. A communication was next read from Dr. Becke, Aukober, in southern Abyssinia, 24th August, 1841, which announced the arrival in that city of the ex pedition under Captain Harris, from the Government of Bombay, which was making great progress with the King. Some interesting accounts were also giVen of the condition of the slaves in that country. The last paper read was a critical analysis by Captain Becher, of the Royal Hy drographic-office, of the three voyages of Martin Fro bisher in the middle of the sixteenth century. A file-maker, named Chopin, was arrested on Saturday under a warrant from the Chancellor, and con ducted to the prison at the Luxembourg.

POST.- . -The Government broker resumed his ope rations in Consols in the course of the day. He again made sales, expressly for bank notes, to the extent of 200,000/., more or less, the effect of which would hav,e been somewhat sensibly felt, had it not been for the counter operations entered into for time ; the bargain• ing for the new Account (February 24th), being pretty considerable. Tne sales, however, cannot be said any longer to at tract the same attention of capitalists and others that they did in the first instance. The present healthy Ap pearance of the Continental exchanges renders the pos sibiny of the sales referred to being for account of the Bank of England quite out of the question ; so it is considered at least in the best-informed monetary cir cles. Were they, it is argued, on behalf of that esta blishment, the effect would have been a palpable strin gency in the money market out of doors, notwithstand ing the payment of the dividends now in progress., There seems to be no longer the least doubt that the daily sales making by the Government broker are strictly on Government account, whether it be in connection with the Savings' Banks (for this is still deemed likely) or otherwise, the effect of which on the circulation will be of no importance, and hence the growing indifference that is felt upon the subject. Considerable interest has been excited in this part of the metropolis, as may be presumed to have been the case in others, and, in fact, throughout the king dom, by the information received during the ,last two days from Paris, relative to a nest of forgers found to be carrying on their depredations on the Continent, and which appeared, in the first instance, exclusively in the Morning Post. Opinion is generally in favour of the supposition that the individuals who have been arrested by the French police are not the principal actors, but the mere subordinate agents in this new and extraordinary drama. It is, of course, considered highly desirable that the delinquents in chief'sheuld be hunted out, inasmuch as the crime of forgery is, in a commercial nation, the most formidable, perhaps, that could be named ; but, on the other hand, it is hoped that, if this cannot be accomplished, a sufficient know ledge of their proceedings has been obtained to put an effectual stop to the mischief. TIMES.—The Madrid letters dated on the 3d inst. are much occupied with the affair of the non-accept ance of certain bills taken by the Government, and transmitted to London far the payment of the British Legion and other claims in the course of the last month and which became due on the 3d of March. It is stated that there were in all nine bills, amounting to. about 20,000/., which were given by a mercantile house in Ma drid to the Spanish Government, and which they appro priated at once to various claimants as so much , money certain to be paid when due. It is probable, however, as time, enough yet remains to make some other ;irrange ments, that the bills will still be honoured when sit matu rity: The refusal to accept by the house of Gower and Co., upon whom they were drawn, is said to have arisen merely from the party in Madrid having exceilded his credit with them, without previously announcing his in tention to do so ; and further, it is stated, that ;had a smaller sum been drawn for, this difficulty woutild not have arisen. Hence noimportance in a financial point of view is to be attached to the subject, and it does notinany way affect the credit of the Spanish Government though it is said that the Finance Minister, Surra y Rue!, has expressed much annoyance at it. Every precaution seems to have been taken by the London house 'to pre. vent this awkward occurrence, as they had an a, gent in Madrid who expressly gave warning to the merchant who drew the bills not to exceed his credit upon them, which he nevertheless disregarded. The sensitiveness of the Spanish Minister on the subject is not a bad omen for the British creditors generally, for ver!, little concern was manifested in former times abou t such matters. It must be still a long time before 'Spanish credit is quite restored, but the present Go vet aliment are at least much more punctilious about the fulfilment of engagements than any of their predecessors., • SUN.—In the public securities business has b een again inclining towards the selling side, and the core ,nence is, that the public are indisposed to operate, as id the market exhibited a decline. Money has been it i some request, and the continuation to the next accour it was I per cent. Consols, for immediate transfer, were r larked 884 to 88k, and for the Account 884 to 89. Exc .

RAILWAYS IN FRANCE.,! The question of reloads in France is discos sed at great length in one of the French commercial papers, chiefly with reference to the clause in the Speisi h from the Throne, in which the King declared it 'at the Chambers should consider the means of rest t ring en equilibrium between the receipts and expense irs of the State, without touching the military organizat: tots of the country, or deferring the execution of the gr eat public works, which are understood to mean the railroads. The article in question would ;how that the :preserva tion of military organization in its present s *ute is in consistent with the completion of the ptlb; is works, and the restoration of equilibrium to the bu feet, now that the sinking fund is pledged for five years, .:and that recourse has just been had to a new loan, the I terms of which have still ten_ months to run. The p! - si‘,which is attributed to the Minister of Public Work P, begins by classifying several grand lines of railway Al '3 lignes d'etat, or " Government lines," which ought. v.. 3 be in the hands of Government, like all Royal r , )at Is. Of these lines, there are five proposed, and th., connect Paris, from which they all commence, r, rAT )ectively with the Belgian frontier (with a branch to JJoulogne and Calais), with the Mediterranean by I ions and Marseilles, with the ocean by Tours an 1. Nantes, with the Spanish frontier by Bordeaux and ,Bayonne and with the Eastern frontier by Strasbur g. With respect to the particular portions that are to be accom plished first, the Minister proposes the An b-Belgian line, which is preferred to all the rest, and e two ex . tremities of the line from Paris to the Me:] it srranean —that is to say, the part from Paris to (2 lw alon-sur- Saone by Dijon, and the part from Tarasco, a to Mar seilles. Subsequently, however, tire line fror s Paris to Chalon-sur Saone seems to have been deferrt td for fear of rendering the Eastern departments discor tented, as they might conceive the direct line from Par; ato Stras burg was abandoned. The localities jot crested in the roads would, according to this plan, con tribute the land, the Government would execute the tens sce work. stations, &c., while private speculators would ay down the rails and furnish the engines. The cho ie •of the particular lines which are to be 'first complete • if is disap proved by the paper in question. With respe ie tto the priority which is given to the line from Paris to the northern frontier, it is observed that Belgium is' , already covered with railroads, and that by this new I ne An- ' twerp might gain at the expense of the Frenc 'a ports. The line from Paris to Lyons is considered tt be far more important. The means of executing the project are spoken of merely as a roundabout way of re turning to the system of carrying on • these works by • the Go vernment, which was rejected by the Deputies five years ago. Thus the part reserved for private t specula tion is thought to be a mere illusion, on accouta tof the great improbability of a Company being formed , merely to lay down rails. If the Government begins to make the terrace• work, it will be compelled to lay do wn rails to transport the materials, so that, however spec ions the proposal may be, it must end in a Governmen t under taking. The Constitutionnel has the following •"A nu merous deputation, composed of Peers, Deputie ,' Generals, among whom it is said, were three Marshal , I, and mem bers of the Municipal Council and Chat& t e: : of Com merce of Strasburg, waited, on Saturday m outing, upon the President of the Council and the Minis ter of Public Works, to confer on the projected railroad L etween Paris and Strasburg direct, and to express tl e unanimous wish of the inhabitants of the eastern department for the establishment of a communication which «• ill contribute so essentially to the military defence of 3 ?ranee. The question was discussed in a strategic point jot' view, and also with regard to its commercial advan ages, by the military men, merchants, and landowners , present, and all of them retired extremely gratified wit ;h - the recep tion of the President of the Council." The National maintains the truth . )f its state ment concerning a collision between the sol di ers of the 59th of the Line and the Second Light 'dal tt ry, which has been contradicted by the Ministerial ,Vve n ing paper , and says that a soldier of the corps, w h o d .ed of his wounds, was interred on Friday. Several o tht rs, it adds, are in a state of dagger.—The Temps men ..A.c .ns a report, that, during the collision in question i a ; K,idier of the Second Light Infantry was thrown from th wiedow of a house, near the Barrier, into the street. ' This dsnurnal, in contradiction to the Mesgager, says th 'lt it was - the 59th of the Line, and not the 11th, which w. concerned in the fray ; and that this corps is waitin . every day for marching orders, for which other . motir of a poli tical nature have given cause. PRICE 5d PROSPECTS OF THE POOR 1N IRELAND. The Knight of Kerry has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Kerry Evening Post : SIR,—A very valuable and timely suggestion from the Rev. Mr. Rowan, may prove useful to the poor of Tralee respecting supplies of fuel. I would earnestly seek to attract the attention of landlords to the awful prospects of the people of the county in general on the same point. I believe that an extensive deficiency of turf exists; that even where quantities are yet on the bogs, it is destroyed by the wetness of the season, and no sup ply of fuel from that source can now be calculated on. It appears to me that tens of thousands of people will be without fuel for the next two months. Recourse must there fore he had to coal, and it is with this view that I ad dress you. Kerry is favorably circumstanced for im portation, from the number of its harbours—as Tor bert, Tralee, (Blennerville), Castlemain, Killorglan, Valencia to Yeransre. As we cannot expect that such importations will be made on commercial speculation, what I recommend is, that associations of landlords be formed at each of their localities, for bringing to each a small cargo of good coals ; that Committees be ap pointed, and the coals issued on security for repayment in twelve months, as in the case of the County Trustees for the encouragement of industry. Such a course would suit the more independent landholders, and where gratuitous aid to the poorer class is desirable, par ticular landlords may assume it for themselves. But to apply the articl e t o use , a small grate must be put up. A shilling or two would do it. Six or seven small bars. about an inch asunder, would form the bot tom anal front, which might be fixed in stone, rising six inches above the grate at each side, to hold the pot or kettle. If formed so as to make the back one-third of the ope of the front, it would economise coal, and throw out more beat. if something of this kind be not done, the consequences may be most frightful. Already the poor are beginning ,to tear up roots of all sorts which they can burn, and the destruction of hedges and plantations will be lamentable ; but not so much so as the destitution of the poor in this inclement season.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, MAURICE FITZGERALD. Valencia, Jan. 8, 1842. DISTRESS IN SPITALFIELDS. DISTRIBUTION OF THE RELIEF.—Since SAturday last the Committee (in whose hands the hinds received by the Lord Mayor, for the relief of the distressed Spitalfields weavers, were placed) have been most ac tively engaged in the distribution of bread, potatos, and coals. Up to Tuesday night more than 2,000 families had been relieved ; the regulations of the Committee being, that in each case half a hundred weight of coals, twenty-eight pounds of potatoes, and a loaf, to every one should be given. Some few private individuals have come forward upon this occasion who have shown the most active philanthrophy. Mr. De la Rue, paper manufacturer, Bunhill-row, has afforded relief to 200 families, in coals, bread, and potatoes ; and many have received donations of matresses, blankets, sheets, &c., &c. On Tuesday night a very numerous meeting of the weavers was held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo -town, at which an account of the different localities which' have not been relieved was taken down by the Secretary, Mr. Claisse, who stated that he would communicate with Mr. Miller, Secretary to the Relief Fund of the Spitalfields Weavers' Committee, .upon the subject. I r. Fox said that these complaints should be made known. He was convinced that Mr. Hanbury would suffer .no unkindly feeling towards them, and he could speak of the Clergy as having acted with true Chris. tian charity. He had accompanied the Rev. Bryan Kiog to the houses of several weavers, and he assured them that the conduct of that gentleman was most libe ral. The same, however, could be said of all the Clergy, and, as far as he was informed, the relief had given satisfaction.—(Applause.) He believed that the relief was from 4s. 6d. to .ss. each family. (Some ob served that the funds subscribed were insufficient for the relief required.) He had spoken to Mr. Miller on that subject, and he stated that as soon as the Lord Mayor had sent the names of the subscribers to the funds in his hands, an advertisement would bo issued in the public journals of the names, when an appeal would be made for more money. The meeting broke up at a late hour. FREDERICK THE GREAT'S YOUTHFUL FROLICS. Frederick, during his residence at Ruppin, appears to have been solicitous to ingratiate himself with his father, whose cars, it is to be presumed, many of his youthful frolics there never reached. The memory of some of these has been preserved by tradition ; and, though I cannot guarantee the authenticity of the anec dotes which it relates of him, I subjoin two or three of them. The uniform of the officers of his regiment had been laced with gold ; Frederick obtained his father's permission to substitute silver in its stead. On the day fixed for assuming the new uniform, the officers were ordered to assemble in a meadow near Ruppin, where they used frequently to meet to amuse themselves. Here they found a large bonfine kindled. The Prince invited them to sit down round the fire, and had re freshments handed to them. This done," Gentlemen," said he, " as we are all here together, I think it would be well to pay the last honours to our old uniform." With these words, he took off coat, waistcoat, and hat, and flung them on the fire ; the others followed his ex ample, whether willingly or unwillingly. With a pen knife he then ripped his breeches from the lining, and threw them into the flames. The embarrassment of many of the officers, whose linings were not in the best condition, and who could not help following the - Prince's example, was great ; but the hilarity communicated by him conquered shame. The new uniform was brought; they put it on, and he returned in it at their head, in the most jovial humour, to the town. It is likely, too, that the King never beard of his misunderstandings with the chaplain to the garrison, and of the tricks played him and other clergymen, which Frederick used to relate with much glee, even is the later years of his life. This poor fellow had been excluded by the Prince from his table, and annoyed in various ways. Tbis con duct he had the boldness to censure in one of his ser mons. " Herod (the Prince) made Herodias (the corps of officers) dance before him, and ordered the head of John (the chaplain) to be presented to them." The Prince and the young officers, in return, broke his windows at night, drove him out of his bed-chamber, and finally out of his house, with squibs, and pursued him into the Court. Busching says that, " when the King, in his old age, related this adventure, as lie fre quently did at table in a humorous manner, he was pleased when the guests, and even the pages and ser vants in attendance on him, laughed heartily at it." In the town there lived the widow of a gla zier, who had a handsome daughter. Frederick pre tended to be in love with her, and in an evening he would make believe to climb in at her window. With maternal solicitude for her daughter's character, the widow would, with blows, drive away the Prince and his laughter-loving associates, who was highly amused with the scene. immediately after the seven yearie war, the old woman repaired to Berlin to have the satisfac tion of seeing once more floc renowned hero whom she bad known a wild and frolicsome youth. As' soon as Frederick saw her name in the report, he recollected his old acquaintance, and ordered her to be brought to him ; but, without waiting for this order, she had already proceeded to the palace. Here the servants inquired if she had any petition to present. " Nu," she replied, " I only want to see my most gracious King." On bciag usl.eresi into his presence, Well, mother," said Frede rick, " are you as cross as you, used to be ?"—" Ah, your Majesty, you did teaze me sadly, to be sure."— "So ! there is something for the present ; you shall have more by and by." His visitor absolutely refused to take what he offered. " Now I have seen my King," said she exultingly, "after he has suffered so much and done such great things !" and hastened back to her.inn. Here she was sumptuously entertained by command of his Majesty, who, as she would not accept anything for herself, settled upon her son a pension for life of ten dollars per month.—Campbell's Frederick the Great and his Times. We find the following in the Constitutionnel, on the demonstration of Friday last, by some students and workmen in favour of M. de Lamennais —" Our rumors publiques are not those of England. With or without reason, alarm is felt in France at every noisy demonstration, and even the temporary anxiety of peaceable citizens is taken advantage of by those in the Government who hate liberty, and avail themselves of everything for its destruction. A conviction of this fact makes us regret deeply what passed on Friday on the occasion of the release of M. de Lamennais from prison. We arc far from being admirers of the doctrines of this writer, and we have reason to think that the young men who got up an ovation in honour of him on Friday, will be of our way of thinking when they shall have had the experience of age and of the realities of life. But if the pupils of the schools wished to give to this Radical writer a public proof of their sympathy, they would, we think, have done better if they had abstained.frons those outward demonstrations which created alarm in the public, and led to a great display of the police force. The persons who went to compliment M. de Lamennais certainly do not wish to promote the views of the Mi nistry which retained him in prison, and yet they have unconsciously done so by giving to it as auxiliaries all those interests which take alarm at everythipg ap proaching to street tumult.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselee., and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able: —Magnet. . . The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, same, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex. tr...mely reluctant to take up another. Having, however !wen , ti friend,nidnu c in e d swa b ey vn t eg h n e t tuh e r h ae a r td w a t c oe t . e p r . ergni arise v ei tesnf pages,r o o m f s s ain, N e %: ir o i r in k soawl b y i fn a es n etlru i n ti o t t e ei l ,d l e i s g ai e tna n d t . edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which to WV' down by the every-day observer as the result of common eau6es, well as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulroimary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi ene, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as•wel as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, Londoi. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their oases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which, no ootice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable secresv may he relied on. /7!

JAMES'S AND HYDE PARKS. In consequence of the preparations making for the christening of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the reception of his Majesty the King of Prussia at Backinghnm Palace, the following notice was pat up yesterday at the gate on Constitution Hill : " It is ordered—That the gatekeepers do appear at their respective gates in their proper uniforms. " That no hackney-coaches, hackney-chariots, or hired cabs be allowed, under any pretence whatever, to pass through either Sr. James ' s or Hyde Parks, ex cept through the Birdcage-walk, leading from Story's Gate, Great George-street, Westminster, to St. James's street, Pimlico. " Ti: at no return post•horses be allowed, under any pretence whatever, to pass through the parks, and that the permission to hackney-chaises conveying Govern ment messengers to pass through St. James's Park, shall not be extended to any such other hired carriages as before mentioned. " That the gates of St. James's Park, with the ex ception of that, communicating with the Birdcage-walk, to be kept half closed, and that no carriages or horses but those belonging to the Royal Family, and such persons as have permission, be allowed to pass through such gate!. . . That no carriages but those occupied by Members of the Royal Family, or by the Grand Falconer, be per-. witted to drive in the Queen's-ride, Hyde park. "„Tlaat,the gates of the Birdcage-walk be left open through the night during the sittings of Parliament. That no stage-coaches, omnibuses, carts, waggons, drays, trucks, wheelbarrows, or persons carrying bur dens, be allowed to pass through any of the gates, either of St. James's or Hyde Parks, and the 'Krems and sen tinels have received orders accordingly. " By command of her Majesty, " AUGUSTUS FREDERICK, Ranger." FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL. Last evening, about a quarter be!re nine o'clock, an . alarming fire broke out in the extensive manufactory of Mr. 13artrum, coach and omnibus builder, St: Mary's-_.trees, White chapel. The first alarm was given by a policeman on duty. near the spot, who instantly despatched messengers to the various fire' engine stations. The premises were built entirely of wood, and, from this circumstance as well as from the inflammable nature of the materials con tained in them, the flames spread with great rapidity. The parish engine was first on the spot, and was quickly followed by several others, when a good supply of water being obtained, the firemen exerted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner, and before ten o'clock all fears for the surrounding property were at an end, the manufac tory being entirely destroyed. The workmen employed ' at Mr. Bartrutn's left the premises at eight o'clock, w hen all was supposed to be safe. The building and stock were insured. TRUTH TO SHAME THE TORIES.—(From the Revue des Deux Alondes.) —A question has arisen in the English press, to know whether the merit of the new Slavery Convention belongs to Lord Palmerston or Lord Aberdeen. Justice makes us admit that the Con vention belongs to Lord Palmerston. France might have sig ned it before the fall of Lord Melbourne, a nd Would have signed it, had the French Cabinet not & grudge against Lord Palmerston. The City prisons never were so full as at the present time. They are in consequence mu c h inconve nienced, owing to there not being sufficient room in the House of Correction. Yesterday morning there were 202 prisoners confined, whereas there was only sufficien t room for 150, and four or five prisoners were pit toge ther in one cell, where there ought only to be one con fined. RESIGNATION OF MR. JUSTICE BOSA N- QuET.—Mr. Justice Bosanquet, in consequence of conti nued ill health, has sent in his resignation to the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship's successor, as one of the Judges of the Conunon Pleas, is not yet known. In Westminster-hall, yesterdiv, Mr. Sergeant Merawe titer, Mr. Law (M.corder ot London), and Mr. Sergeant Goulburn, are each mentioned as likely to be raised to the Bench. We regret to announce the decease of Bourke Lambert, Esq., of Boyton, Wilts, Professor of Botany. Ilis sudden removal front his friends in town, to a damp lodging at Kew, with other distressing circumstances, have accelerated the death of a gentleman who claimed the best sympathies of the scientifie world, and the gene rous succour of his high and i n fluential relations. lla the presencedi t Monday, c i l s ay fa • , faithful I f o i l ) dt h iri t e v i i , t d h , o sl tt t r v s n t l x:uf i g oo le k , THE NEW POOR •LAW.—The Poor-law Coin• missioners have for some time past been in almost con stant communication with the Home-office, and scarcely a day passes without one of the Commissioners having an interview with Sir James Graham. ~ LD• 011fitrI, Ft 0 I to a I 4 0 3 (1 7 0 ol d Cl . , o tfol •
