_r . _, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The debate on the King's speech was as uninteresting and talentless as any on a similar occasion which we re collect. In the House of Commons, especially, the ora torical efforts were dull, common-place, and uninstructive. In the House of Lords, the speeches of the Duke of Wel lington and Earl Grey alone deserved attention ; nor were they remarkable for any very extraordinary display of intellectual power, though superior to any of the senatorial exhibitions witnessed in the people's House. There is one important circumstance with regard to out foreign policy, which we collect from the Duke of Wel lington's speech, and that is, that the ambitions proeress which Russia is making, and more particularly her formi dable attitude in the East, where Turkey crouches at her feet, has excited the patriotic alarm of even the Duke him• self, whom the Whig prints have been accusing of an un- English and unpatriotic sympathy with that rival and barbarian power. The well drilled organs of the Treasury had even gone so far as to insinuate that the secret encou ragement of the Duke and his partyemboldened the Northern Autocrat in his insolent and aggressive policy, and threw in • the way of the Whig Government obstacles with which they would not otherwise have had to contend in resisting the march of Russian aggrandizement. We never believed these insinuations. When the Duke adopts an erroneous course of policy he is apt to avow it in a manly, intrepid, and unequivocal manner; and from the whole course of our foreign policy since the Whigs came into power we have reason to infer that Lord Grey is himself, at least, as friendly to the establishment of a Russian supremacy in Europe as any Tory Minister that ever existed. If not, let the historical instance be adduced of a Tory Adminis tration that truckled more servilely than his has done to the arrogant despot of the North. It was only the other day that Sir Stratford Canning was appointed Ambassa dor to St. Petersburgh. The haughty Czar, who bears a vindictive recollection of certain sentiments touching the - Holy Alliance, which the late Mr. Canning uttered in the 'Luse of Commons, when he broke off the inti mate connection between England and that despotic con federacy, which the Whigs, at their accession to power, re• De wed—the haughty Czar, we say, objected to the appoint ment, and it was cancelled. Possibly he thought Sir Ste afford Canning, from previous experience, was too well acquainted with his intrigues in Turkey, and might be too watchful an observer of his proceedings at head-quarters, end too vigilant a sentinel of English interests. How wroth] the Tory Minister Pitt—how would even the Tory Minister Castlereagh have acted under such circum stances? Would even the one or the other have meekly submitted to the insult inflicted upon their Sovereign by repudiating his eepresentative ? Would either the one or the other have so lowered the dignity of England as to eose a ret to the Caltnuc Emperor on the appointment of her Ambassadors? Never did British Minister so pros trate the Majesty of England at the footstool of Russian domination. Iri t the King's speech tells us that the in tegrity of Turkey is to be preserved ! What remains of Turkey is already in the grasp of Russia. The "secret treaty " gives it her in tnortmain. It enables that Power to exclude every other from the Dardanelles. If it did not --if Russia chose to proceed to her object less cautiously—if she cast aside the diplomatic forms of legitimate robbery and relied upon mere open undisguised force alone—if she took possession of Constantinople without pretending any demand of " protection" on the part of the Porte, and sent the imbecile Sultan into philosophic retirement with the ex-Dey of Algiers--if Russia di! those things, can any man believe that a Government which has just recalled its fleet from the Archipelogo, and cancelled the appointment of Sir Stratford Canning, to appease the offended Czar, can any man believe such a Government would oppose any obstacle to the dreaded despot, or take any energetic measures to preserve the " integrity of Turkey ?" The man who could believe it must have that miraculous degree of credulity which enlarges its faith to the demands of things incredible. Such a man would hate no difficulty in believing, for instance, that Lord Durham, a former and obsequious ambassador to Russia, proved by his four or five criminal informations working together against different newspapers, that he is a high minded patriot, end a stanch friend to the liberty of the prtse. It anno', indeed, be denied, and so far are we teem denying it, that we often observed upon the fact, that the Duke of Wellington committed a deplorable error when he allowed Russia, on a former occasion, to blockade the Dardanelles, after giving a solemn pledge to the contrary. The Treasury papers that nowattack the Duke; for this error attempted to justify his policy at the time; , but we blamed it all/along, and therefore Earl Grey's argument ad bominent is no answer to us, or to others, who have feretokl the consequences, and censured the itnpolicy of all truckling concessions to Russia, whether made by White or Tory statesmen. Certain it is, how ever, that such an opportunity for resisting the encroach ing ambition of Russia never occurred during the admi n eeeetion of the Duke of Wellington as that which pre sen:vd itself when the heroic armies of Poland were in tile field, 10 defend, in the face of Europe, that national independence which England and France had guaran teed by treaty to the countrymen of Kosciusko. The Whip, with Lord (then Mr.) Grey at their bead, made a great outcry against the Tory Ministers for not resistinie the second partition of Poland in 1794, though England was not then bound by treaty to the protection of the national existence of that people. The embarrassments into which the Polish Revolution threw Russia caused the recognition of Louis Philip by that power, which observed how much the Autocrat dreaded any foreign intervention in behalf of the brave people he was pre paring to crush. Had England sent a fleet to the Baltic at that crisis, and threatened St. Petersburgh, the Polish treaty would have been respected ; and Russia, jealous and fearful of the spirit of the Polish nation, would not have means nor opportunity to mature her ambitious pro jects in the East, which aim at the extinction of English cc ‘-emores in the Levant, and ultimately contemplate the fulfilment of that design which the Empress Catharine bequeathed to her successors—the conquest of our East India pa.sesitulm Ministers talk of their alliance with France as if it were some protection against the aggressive policy of Russia. We long ago warned them to beware bow they trust Louis Philip, who would betray England at any time to purchase the friendship of the Czar. In deed he continually gives proofs that his great object is to obtain the favour of the Autocrat. He wishes to cleanse the stain from a revolutionary title by introducing as much of despotism into his Government as be finds the French people can patiently suffer; and if they do not take it patiently, he has his 40,000 or 50,000 troops, as at the funeral of M. Dulone, the other day, lining the streets of the capital, which bristle with bayonets, while the • nnonierg, with lighted matched, stand ready to speak to the people of Paris, if occasion offer, in the logic of St. Petersburgh. Is the alliance of the French Govern ment then one of which the Whigs ought to boast ? Have the Doctrinaires of the Tuilieries followed up their smiles and cajolery to Mr. Poulett Thomson, by reciprocating our principles of free trade? No, the spirit of the im peril Calmuc overshadows France ; the politics that are HIV - ated where the Neva flows flouri'h on the banks of the Seine. If our Government relies on French alliance, it relies on a broken spear that will pearce its own band. _Morning Herald. We have elsewhere given a report of a meeting of the owners and occupiers of land in the hundred of Blything and parishes adjoining, at Haleswortb, Suffolk, on Tues day last. The meeting was attended by Lord Stradbroke, Lord Huntinefield, Sir Thos. Gooch, and other gentlemen possessed of large property in Suffolk. Sir Thomas Gooch observed, that " as far as he was enabled to trace the rause of those incendiary fires, it Ras to be attributed to a bad and dangerous spirit of combination." This is easily said ; but what produced the bad and dangerous spirit of combination? The stab ments which have been fur Asbed to some of the London papers have, it is said, beeo somewhat coloured, and this is possible. But Making, every allowance for exaggeration, it is quite evident, from whit fell from the speakers, that there is no community of feeling between the upper and lower glasses, or rather between the farmers and their labourers. .41 such a state of things it is no easy matter to sug gest the means of staying the evil. Whenever an Englishotan wished to point out to strangers a part of biseountty, of which he bad cause to be more particularly proud in all that regarded skill and dexterity in agricul ture, he named Norfolk and Suffolk. The Scotch farmers, about eighty years ago, used to repair to these two coun ties, and deem themselves happy to be allowed to labour on any terms, that they might acquire a knowledge of their boasted system. The workmen were decidedly the best in England ; and it used to be remarked, that a Norfolk and Suffolk labourer would go through more work in a day, and perform that work better than the la bourers of any other county. Down to a comparatively recent period there used to be in every parish, crack la bourers, who were in such demand with all the farmers that they could make their own terms. This state of things no longer exists. The mode of executing the poor laws has ground down the labourers to a disheartening level, which, by rendering skill of no benefit, has deprive& them of the most powerful motives of exertion, and the surest guarantees for go - el conduct. It is not a matter of mere curiosity to discover the cause of this bad spirit, because we must know the cause of the evil if we wish to attempt a cure with any chance of success. We believe, in our conscience, that the gentlemen of the cm- ties of Suffolk and Norfolk are themselves the causes of the demoralization of the labourers. They would not let well alone. They took it into their heads that they could interpose with benefit between masters and labour ers, which no set of men can do. We do not attribute bad intentions to the landowners—we only lament that the law ever invested them with the power in their ma . gisterial capacity of throwing the country into confusion , When men have been deprived of their independence, they naturally believe th at th ey are j u stified in placing everyinconvenience, real or imaginary, to the account of their superiors. A case has occurred in Buckinghamshire of magisterial interference with overseers, quite sufficient, alone, to demoralize the labouring population of a whole county. There never will be peace in the country parts of England till magistrates are deprived of the discre tionary powers they now possess, and the poor laws are executed on some known and uniform principle. Suff 1k is called, by way of distinction, the County of Parsons. Now we cannot help thinking the Church Establish ment is singularly ill-adapted for its chief purpose— that of instructing those who stand most in need of it, the labouring poor—when we thus hear of combinations and a bad spirit among the labourers of a county in which there are so many clergy. We fear the 'Squire's mansion is too powerful a rival for the cottage of the labourer with the English clergyman. The clergyman should know the character of every labo urer i n hi s par i s h ; h e s h ou ld b e his friend and advise r , one to w h om he m i g h t un b ur d en himself in all his difficulties. We believe that, in many countries of Europe, especially Catholic countries, the priest is still considered by the poor their best friend and counsellor. In Scotland, of which the clergy were sprung from the peasantry or little farmers, and not gentlemen born, as the phrase is, an intimacy of the same endearing kind used to exist between the minister and his humble flock. From the time that the gentry of England began to throw their sons into the Church, which, according to Warburton in one of his letters to Hurd, was about the middle of last century, the clergy have gradually become of a class too far removed from the people. They are often most benevolent gentlemen, but they are without the knowledge of the manners and habits of the people, which a parish clergy ought to possess. We remember once reading in a book, written by a Venetian gentleman who had served the Republic in a military capacity in their Dalmatian provinces, now belonging to Austria, that, see ing the waste state of the country, he asked some of the landholders why they did not set about improving it ? They told him that the peasantry were refractory, and resisted all attempts at improvement. Why don't you introduce among them, he sa id, t h e so b er an d peace f u ll y indus trious labourers of Lombardy ? They laughed—but, on being pressed, told him that the attempt had often been made, but that the strangers were always murdered, and it was impossible to protect them. On this the memoir writer remarks, that the change in the mind of man must precede other improvements ; and that the moral man can only be changed by time and assiduity. In Suffolk and Norfolk, however, the change had been wrought ; the people had long been models of good order; and yet even the appearance of the country bears evidence of ex cellent properties in the labourers. It is not a little that could have drawn such a people into improper courses. We remember the Rev. Mr. Brereton says that the universal discontent of the labourers was the first thing that struck him when he first obtained the living of Little nissingham, Norfolk; for it is curious that there is little dissatisfaction in towns, and that the discontent is always in the ratio of the interference of Magistrates. The fol fiwing description of Suffolk, from the pen of the most successful describer of English country life, William Cobbett, in his last Register, will serve to show what an excellent people the Suffolk labourers must have ken before the 'Squires made them the subjects of their experiments:— " Reader, do you know anything of this county of Suffolk ? It is the crack county of England. It has a parish church in every three square miles, or less; it is the best cultivated, most ably, most carefully, most skilfully, of any piece of land of the same size in the whole world ; its labourers are the most active and most clever; its farmers' wives, and women em ployed in agriculture, the most frugal, adroit, cleanly, of any in this whole world; it is a county of most frank, industrious and virtuous people. Its towns are all cleanness, neatness, and good order. What, then, can these things take place in such a county, without any assignable cause ? There must be some cause. We often hear of the negligence, carelessness, wastefulness, idleness of the people, as being the cause of their poverty and misery. Three years ago, I went all over the county of Suffolk. Ido not say, nor pretend, that I went into even a majority of the parishes; but I could not have gone, through less than two hundred out of the five hundred parishes , but I never shut soy eyes, except when I do it for the purpose in order to go to sleep. I not only rode along the roads from town to town, but I went out into the villages, which it has always been my delight to survey. There is one distinctive mark of carefulness and neatness, and that is unbroken win dows ; windows where the place of glass is not supplied by paper or rags; and I could take my oath that I did not see (and I looked very sharply for it) one single instance of this in this county of Suffolk. Why, it is a county of corn and cattle, the far greater part of which is produced by manual labour ; for it is an arable county. It is a county of plentiful produce; a county in which the labours of the people produce, I dare say, seven times as much as they consume."—Morn.Chronicte. Last night's proceedings in the House of Commons de rived an interest which, if not altogether unprecedented, was certainly unusual, and in some respects painful, from the course adopted by Mr. O'Connell, in demanding ex planations on the subject of Mr. Hill's charge against Irish Members, brought forward in the speech of that Learned Gentleman which be delivered a few months agn at Hull. Whether the House of Commons was the plaice wherein to raise a discussion on such personal topics, may, we think, be rea'onably doubted; and there is, we suspect, more than one individual who now regrets either that the question was stirred at all, or that it was not put an early and immediate stop to by the House at large, or by the authoritative voice and decisive interference of the Speaker. It would at least be unbecoming, and might lead to results which all must deprecate, were we to dwell much on the details of such transactions. No feelings are engendered in their progress amongst the parties immediately impli cated but such as (except in very rare instances) it would be the wish of every humane and manly mind to allay. No reputation can by any subsequent remarks of persons not directly interested in such quarrels be raised above or sunk below that level at which it was fixed by their course and issue at the moment when they were formally terminated; and for the satisfaction of whatever anxiety, or mere curiosity, may have been now excited by our allusion to the names of Lord Althorp and Mr, Sheil as the principals, while Mr. O'Connell was the accessory, in the affair of last night, we refer to our Par liamentary intelligence. One ob.ervation only we shall venture to make, and in doing so, it is not our desire to overstep the sobriety and modesty of the language em ployed by the Speaker in his estimate of Lord Althorp's conduct. Never did that high-minded and unassuming nobleman entitle himself to a larger share of the confi dence, esteem, and admiration of his friends and country, than by the sturdy and inexorable manhood, the stern truth, and calm, straightforward dignity of his whole de. meanour, from his first answer to Mr. O'Connell's first inquiry down to his frank rejection of the last plausible compromise offered for his accommodation, had such a thing been worthy of him, by his well-meaning, but not well-judging, friends. The business was concluded by a mutual declaration that nothing which bad passed should lead to further consequences.— Times. Amongst many reasons for rejoicing in the Parliamentary proceedings of last Tuesday night, there was one circum stance which the commercial, the manufacturing, and ge nerally indeed, the intelligent population of this country, must look at with extreme regret and apprehension— namely, the announcement by Lord Althorp that the Go vernment were averse to bring forward any meaeure for a repeal or amendment of the corn laws, and that his Lordship and his colleagues were equally resolute to with hold their concurrence from such a measure, should it be proposed by members not in connexion with them. The country, therefore, if it hopes to shake off the burden of that execrable impost, must not depend on his Majesty's Nlinistas,—it must rely upon its own unanimity, perse verance, and energy. The country must act far itself, and must, if it can succeed by no other means, compel the Mi nisters, and their landlord colleagues, to treat the ma.s of Englishmen with justice and humanity, to make employment more plentiful, and bread more accessible to the poor. Can anything equal the infa tuation of those who attempt to vindicate the expe diency of corn laws by pointing to the distresses of the agriculturil interest? If a corn law had any real virtue, would not the fruits of it he discoverable in the prosperity lof the landlord, the farmer, and the labourer? If a parti -1 cular medicine were boasted of as a specific, would nut the ~, practitioner who employed it, being a rational or an ho nest man, refer fur proof of the healing properties of his nostrum to the sound and satisfactory state of the patient whom it had recovered ? What shall we say to him who advertises a certain diet as the most wholesome and nutri iious in the world, and illustrates its excellence by adding —" Here is a man who has tried it for 20 years, and see to what a wasted and dying condition it has brought him !" What do the landlords and their dupes, the farmers, want ? Is it more protection ? is it a more strict mono poly? is it a prohibition of foreign corn, absolute and tot el ? At this time of day they will haidly say so. Will they remain as they are, and let the distress oh which they unceasingly complain accumulate into perfect ruin ? If the distress be true, and not assumed and fictitious, they must answer " No." Well, then, wbat resource is left but a removal of the chains which confine and cripple the corn trade, that all who are affected by them, whether in the relation of buyer or seller, may have the free use of their industry and capital, the former not forced, by artificial expedients, to purchase dear bread, nor the latter deluded by false temptations into agricultural enterprises and improvident bargains, under the hope that the corn law will be at hand to shield him from all competi tion. The landed interest is much given to exclaim that there are taxes affecting landed property from which other descriptions of property are exempted. When partial im posts are established anywhere, they are undoubted evils, land ought to be at once redressed. Let the land, there , fore, he unloaded of its fiscal pressure, if any such should be found to aff e ct it exc l us i ve ly, b u t divest it also of the imagined counterpoise of that confessedly unprofitable, cumbersome, and deceitful monopoly, which has brought the farming interest to the brink of ruin. But let this matter of agricultural sufferine . be real or otherwise, the landlords have no right to murmur. The corn law was their own child ; whatever may hare been its undutiful conduct towards them, it has helped to half starve the great body of poor consumers throughout England, and although Ministers may flatter themselves that the con sumers are weak from the want of compactness, and of the power of combining for a common end, we tell the inhabitants of towns, and all men who understand their own interest throughout Great Britain, that the main object of their united efforts ought to be a repeal of the law for monopolizing the sale of corn.— Times. A scene of an extraordinary nature took place last night in the House of Common., in the progress of which that assembly found itself compelled to resort to the extreme measure of placing two of its Members, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Shell, in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The public have long been familiar with the imputation cast upon one of the Irish Members of Parliament by Mr. Hill, upon the alleged authority of a Cabinet Minister, and upon several of them by Mr. Pease, upon his own personal knowledge, that, while they were speaking and voting in the House against the Irish Coercion Bill, they were strenuously urging his Ma• jesty's Ministers to persevere in that measure which they characterised as necessary, in their estimation, to the peace and welfare of Ireland. The parade with which a con siderable number of the gentlemen to whom this grave imputation might have been supposed to apply have denied the charge—the progres'ive muster-roll of dis claimers promulgated through the Irish newspapers in their interest—the letters of many of them to Mr. Hill requiring him to exonerate them individually—have bad the effect of keeping the attention of the public alive to a subject which it may now be suspected most of the parties concerned would, without much reluctance, if it were still possible, permit to pass into oblivion. Too much, however, had been said upon the subject in Ireland to admit of silence in tfie House of Commons, and Mr. O'Connell accordingly brought it last night in the most effectual manner under the notice of that assembly. He called upon Lord Althorp to verify or to contradict the statement of the Hon. and Learned Member for Hull. Lord Althorp unfortunately could do neither. He denied that any Irish Member who voted against the Coercion Bill bad urged his Majesty's Minis ters to persevere in that measure ; he also, by plain implication at least, denied that the Honour able and Learned Member for Hull had the authority of a Cabinet Minister for his statement ; but he affirmed that some of the Irish Members had expressed opinions in direct opposition to their speeches and votes upon the question ; that this fact had come to the knowledge of his Majesty's Ministers, that be personally believed it, and would take the responsibility of that belief, as be must decline to mention his authority. On being further pressed by Mr. Shell, the Noble Lord said that the Hon. and Learned Member was one of the persons upon whom the imputation bad been cast. The excitement was now at its height, and a scene ensued for an account of which we must refer to our Parliamentary report. It ended by the Noble Lord and the Hon. and Learned Gentleman consenting to give tl e required pledges not to prosecute the matter out of the House, and being therefore liberated from the durance to which they had been committed. We have not yet alluded to what is of much greater importance to the public than any other part of this extraordinary fracas—viz., the distinct un derstanding which universally prevailed, and upon which the Speaker mainly rested his appeals to the Members whose personal honour and integrity were most deeply involved in the proceeding, that a full inquiry shoeithe instituted by the authority_ of the House. And right needful, indeed, it is that the whole disgraceful affair should be sifted to the bottom, that the public shopld know how much there has been of slander, and what was its source ; how much there has been of treachery, and what were its inducements; how far his Majesty's Mini s;ers, or the instruments they have employed, are justly chargeable with the baseness of having availed them selves, for the purpose of obtaining votes in the House of Commons, of the disgusting compound of slander and treachery. There is fortunately, in this instance, good ground for confidence that the inquiry will not be merely formal or delusive, for every individual connected with the transaction must deeply feel that he stands at the present moment in a position which involves the entire loss of reputation, and must be anxious accordingly to he relieved from this situation, in the only way in which any of them can be relieved, that i., by the result of a thorough and satisfactory investigation. Mr. Hill, who made his charge against an Irish Member for the vindication of his own vote, and, in order to appease those of his constituents whom that vote had offended, who expressly made it upon the authority of a Cabinet Minister, has much to explain and much that seems very difficult of explanation. He has to show what the conduct of an Irish or any other Member of Parlia ment, and especially of a Member who must have ap peared to him to be acting a dishonourable and treache rous part, could possibly have to do with his own inde pendent vote upon the Coercion Bill, and thug to redeem himself from the charge of having been governed in his senatorial conduct by an authority any appeal to which might have been expected to excite rather a sentiment of repugnance and contempt in the heart of every upright man. The Hon. and Learned Member has also to redeem his veracity from the stain cast upon it by Lord Althorp, who expressly contradicts his story in several of its most important particulars. His Majesty's Ministers have to meet the statement made by Mr. Hill, and to meet it as it was originally made, that state ment being in substance that a certain Cabinet Mi nister divulged to him the fact that a Member of Parliament bad voted and spoken in the House of Commons in opposition to his conscientious and declared conviction, and - that by divulging this fact the Administration did really obtain one additional vote in favour of an important measure. The Cabinet Mi nister, whoever be was, it may naturally be thought, ought not to have beguiled the simple-minded Member for Hull out of his vote by the mention of thisinetanee of senatorial duplicity without some such expression of con tempt and abhorrence as might, perhaps, have guarded the Hon. and Learned Gentleman from its too seductive influence. The fact upon which Lord Althorp and Mr. Hill are at issue is indeed of the highest importance to the character of both ; and in Ministerial estimation an asser tion which proceeded from Mr. Hill bught to be at least equipenderant with an assertion proceeding from Lord Althorp; for did not Mr. Hill the other day find favour and support among all the friends of the Ad ministration as the popular candidate for the office of a Judge? Then there is that very unfortunate Irish Gen tleman, Mr. Sheil, who seems to be deserted by every body, and who yet, although his situation is not the most pleasant or respectable, stands in a bet. ter position by far than either of the parties we have just mentioned. Mr. Sheil repudiates the crime with which Lord Althorp charges him upon the authority of some nameless person, whom Lord Althorp says be believes. As yet the denial rests only upon the personal veracity of Mr. Sheil ; hut then, on the other hand, the imputation, it must be recollected, rests upon much less than the personal veracity of Lord Al thorp, who merely speaks by hearsay, and who has a ques tion besides to settle with the Learned Common-Sergeant that was to be, upon the settlement of which the public will have to judge which of the two,has most clasely ad_ tiered to truth. The affair, as it now appears before the public, presents an exquisite specimen of the character of the reformed House of Commons. It is no doubt in volved in great confusion and obscurity, but thus much is we think sufficiently ciear, viz., that the great, the boasted principle of reform, a ❑umerous constituency, has in this instance produced effects less advantageous than its advocates promised, to the country, from its operation ; that it has led some Irish Members to betray those whom they were sent to represent, anal some Euglish Mem bers to make a dishonourable use of their dishonourable example.--Morning Post. On Friday last a very numerous meeting was held at Kel,o, for the purpose of forming an association for the protection and encouragement of :Agriculture, the Duke of Buccleuch in the Chair. Various resolutions were passed, declaring tie intention of the meeting to pre st rye inviolate the present state of the Corn Laws. GERMAN PAPERS. - - VIENNA, JAN. 22.—There has not yet been any sitting of the Ministerial Congress. It seems that the Ministry will fi rs t wa it f o r the answer of their respective Courts to their communications ; after that, the confe rences will doubtless proceed rapidily. Meantime the Ministers meet almost daily at the residence of the Presi dent of the Diet, Count Munch Bellinghausen, or that of the Bavarian Minister, Baron Von Giese, which affords some relief to our highly respected Chancellor, Prince Metternich, who was confined to his bed a few days by a slight indisposition. We have no cold weather yet; after many weeks' con tinuance of rains and storms, fine spring weather set in yesterday. Considerable damage done in Hungary by the inundations. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 7.—ln consequence of the arrangement of the affairs of Servia, and the Sultan's firman to Prince Milosch, the Servian Deputy, M. Petromievich, previous to his return to Servia, had audience of the Sultan, who received him very graciously, and presented him with a valuable diamond snuff-hox. The Sultan, it is said, expressed on this occasion much satisfaction with the conduct of Prince Milosch. Our latest accounts from Smyrna mention the sailing of the French squadron, under Admiral Hugon, on the 17th of December, from Smyrna to Toulon, and that of the Eng lish on the 28th, from Vourla for Malta.

LYNN.—A serious accident occurred in this town last Friday to a lad named Hicks, about 16, in the service of Mr. Alexander, corn factor. It appeared that the youth had been sent on an errand to Mr.lyard's flour (steam) engine, and, going up with another boy into the chamber amongst the machinery, began to play at marbles. Part of the works caught his clothes, and he was drawn in with the apparatus, clinging to a spindle that was revolving several hundred times in a minute; and his legs flying out in a horizontal position, were dashed at every revolution against a bar of irt,n. Before the boy in company could find the engineer be was thrown off on a pair of stones, that fortunately were not at work, or he must have been ground to powder. Medical aid was instantly called in, and no time being lost in amputating both his legs above the knee, we learn he is likely to (1 , ) well. Several of Lis toes and part of his legs were scattered about the chamber. It is with most painful feelings that we have to record that another fire, beyond doubt the act of an in cendiary, has been perpetrated in the village, within 150 yards of that we detailed in our last. The following are the particulars:—Stare the former fire, Mr. Burnip, the proprietor of the stacks now destroyed, has kept a constant watch by night over his property, until Wednes day last, when he desisted, imagining that the high reward offered for the apprehension of those concerned in Mr. Elliott's conflagration would deter others from committing a similar act. He accordingly retired to rest at his usual hour, but awoke between one and two o'clock on Thur. Jay morning, and he determined on perambulating his farm-yards, when all appeared to be safe, and he returned to his bed. Shortly after three o'clock, however, be was aroused by a loud knocking at his door, and on looking out discovered that one of his stack-yards was in flames. The villagers, on hearing of the catastrophe, ran to the spot, and used their best endeavours to prevent the de struction which threatened the whole of Mr. Burnip's buildings and property. Lord Durham's engine arrived with all possible spced, and was, we are informed, the only one present, and to the exertions of the firemen and assistants may be attributed the preservation of the house and outbuildings. The loss of property, nevertheless, is excessive, as fourteen stacks were either totally destroyed or rendered unserviceable—namely, nine stacks of wheat, two of oats, one of beans, and two of hay. It was stated that a light was perceived, by a cottager, on the opposite side of the Wear, about three o'clock in, the morning, mov ing from stack to stack. —Newcastle Chronicle. SIEGE OF BHURTPOR E.—Bhurtpore fort, with the town was nearly eight miles in circumference, flanked with numerous bastions at short interval, well defended with immense cannon and surrounded by a wide and deep fosse. The garrison was complete, amply pro visioned and confident in the impregnability of their ram parts. Lord Like and little band of heroes sat down before this formidable place on the 3d of January, 1805 ; the trenches were soon opened, but wherever a breach was made the defenders speedily tilled it up or fortified it with stockades, and, in addition to the most galling and inve terate artillery and musketry, showered on the besiegers ton steeped in oil , e arth en pots tilled with fire and logs of burning woo d a nd but ashes, li g hted bales of com bustiblescot- ton of every kind. Four times did the British troops attempt to storm the breach, and four times were they obliged to retire staggering under the (to them) ter rible loss of upwards of 3,000 men, the flower of the army; and here let it be recorded, that his Majesty's seventy.fiftb and seventy-sixth regiments (heretofore deemed like N-y, " the bravest of the brave," and like Murat always oof t hyfore mostteirenemy's in the heady current of battle), became p anic struck at the fury of their enemies, and refused to follow their officers, until , s hamed by seeing the East India Com p an y 's twelfth regiment of Bengal Sepoys once more heroically plant loudly implored to be permitted to wash the stains from their honour i n the fourth attack , which, notwithstandi ng their desperate valour, was still uneuccessful.—Froin MontgomeryNlar tin'e History of t he British Colonies, Vol. their ei reproaches colours oite General,w and stung by the merited COURT OF CHANCERY.-DUBLIN, JAN. 30. A FEMALE PLEADER, Before the Lord Chancellor took his scat on the bench an old lady made her way up to the Secretary's seat, and having a large letter in her hand, she got up on the seat and placed the letter on the Chancellor's desk. " There now," said she, " I am quite sure his Lordship will get it—l will not be deluded any longer." By the exertions of the tipstafr the old lady was got out at one side of the Court ; but in a few minutes afterwards she contrived to slip in at the opposite, and took her place upon the seat where the solicitors sit and the press is usually accom modated. She kept her eye fixed on the Chancellor's desk, and when the crier came to remove the letter she said, " Now, mind, I'll tell his Lordship you got the letter. I gave a letter to Mr. Long and he did not present it, and his Lordship desired me to write to him. I will put a statement in the newspapers —upon my honour I will." The Lord Chancellor shortly after entered, and the following conversation took place : The old lady (standing up on the solicitors' bench)—My Lord, I beg your pardon. You desired me to write to you, and I did so. Mr. Long did not present it to you—and now, my Lord, I have laid it on your Lordship's desk. The LORD CHANCELLOR —Speak to Mr. Long. The old lady—l did, my Lord. The LORD CHANCELLOR (to the Registrar)—Call the causes on. The old lady--Thank you, my Lord. Here the female pleader made a low curtesy to his Lord ship, and left the Court, evidently gratified at the gracious re ception she had met with. THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle.) Captain Barton's company of the 36th depot has returned to Nenagh, head-quarters, after being relieved at Killaloe by Capt. French's company of the 85th, from this garrison. Lieut. Kerr, 85th, is is attached to Captain St. Quintin's company of that regiment, at Tipperary. The depot 32d regiment, under Major Palk, will march from Templemore on Monday next fur Clonmell, where they are to replace the depot of the 23d Foot, ordered to Templemore. It is said a recent quarrel with two of the depots at Templemore is the cause of the present change. Major-General the Hon. P. Stuart saw the 68th Light In. fantry in heavy marching order on the esplanade in front of the Castle, Edinburgh, shortly after its arrival from Ireland,—a better equipped or finer body of infantry he had not seen on the Castle Hill. The on dit is, that the 68th are for India in spring. - - Major-General Sir John Buchan, 1C.C.8., late president of the Courtmartial at Cork, has returned to Athlone; and resumed the command of the western district. The Hon. Charles D. Plunkett, who has joined the Ist or Royal depot at Londonderry, is not a son of the Irish Lord Chancellor, but a brother of Lord Louth, an Irish Peer. Lieutenant Deslresay, Royal Artillery, has relieved Lieut. Kaye, of that corps, in the command of the Royal Artillery at Duncannon Fort. Doctor Cheyne, the Physician-General to the Forces in Ire land, who has been residing in England for the last few years, and whose duty has been performed here by a deputy, retires froth the service on a pension. The vacant situation will not be filled up.

LONDON MARKETS. (From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR.—The demand for coloury Sugars last week continued general and extensive, and the prices advanced Is. per cwt. ; this improvement was confirmed by the public sale of Trinidad and St. Lucia Sugar, which were good useful qualities, and sold 565. for the coloury, which were valued at 555. and 545. 6d. ; the others in the same proportion, except inferior and brown de scriptions, which are still heavy, and, in several instances, a shade lower. The weekly deliveries from the warehouses con. tinue much larger than last year at the same period, and the one for the last week shows such an excess that the holders early this morning put an additional Is. per cwt. on their Sugars; this checked the demand at an early hour, but as the day proceeded the advance has in many instances been submitted to; the estimated purchases, including the Barbadoes, are 700 hhds. and trs. ; the latter went off with briskness Is. higher than on this day week. The stock of West India Sugar is now 25,704 bhds. and trs., being 6,554 more than last year. The delivery of West India 3,067 hhds. and trs., being 928 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 9,140 bags, being 1,329 more than the corresponding week of 1833. In the Refined Market the grocery descriptions have lately gone off more freely at full market prices ; the fine Crashed, entitled to the bounty on double refined, have sold in parcels 30s. 9d. and 31s. ; the latter is still asked, and is the nearest quotation ; the inferior Crashed has been well cleared off by the late sales, but they are rather heavy. This day the inquiries for Refined have been general and extensive, and an improvement of Is. in the prices may be stated. The grocers are free buyers for home con. sumption ; some Lumps are again offering : low at 655., and good 675. and GSs.; Crashed 31s. MAURITIUS SUGAR.—The public sales consisted of good coloury Mauritius, which sold freely 6d. to Is. per cwt. higher being the descriptions suitable to the present demand. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The Bengal Sugars last week went off Is. 6d. to 2s. higher; Siam and all other East India Sugars ls. higher, the late fair yellow to mid. white, 225. 6d. to 255.; the Bengal at the India House, 7,063 bags, sold ord. to good white, 245. 6d. to 31s. 6d. FOREIGN SUGAR.—The question of the tares on Foreign Sugar is not yet adjusted; the consequence is that few pur chases are lately reported, About 300 chests white Bahia Sugars have been sold by private contract, but no particulars have yet transpired; it is reported at an average of 255. The public sale advertised for this day has been withdrawn. There is an evident increase in the inquiries after Foreign Sugar this afternoon. Average price of Sugar, 1/. Bs. 60. per cwt. COFFEE.—We have lately reported a partial fall in the prices of Coffee ; it is now general on all descriptions of Bri tish Plantation, Foreign, and East India, at about 2s. per cwt. ; good and fine ord. Jamaica is now 81s. to 875.; mid. Berbice 88s. and 89s. ; ord. Ceylon 565. and 565. 6d. ; fine ord. Sama. rang 525. 6d. ; good ord. Batavia 555. 6d. and 565. ; ord. brown Sumatra 475. and 48s. ; good ord. brown Havannah 555. and 565. ; fine ord. Brazil 575. 6d. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon, and no purchases by private contract are reported. The Market has a heavy appearance. At the close of the Mar ket a parcel good ord. Brazil sold at 58s. _ Rum, BRANDY, HOLLANDS, AND BRITISH SPIRITS.—The Rum Market is so very firm that purchases cannot be made at the prices of last week. No Leewards now offer under 2s. 3d., and very few Jamaica under 3s. ; the low strengths of the latter are very scarce. There was a considerable sale of Brandy on Sa. urday ; the particulars as to prices, &c.; have not transpired, but it is supposed to be about 3s. Sd. In Geneva there is no alteration. British Spirits have been in most extensive de.. mand, the dealers laying in large stocks in the anticipation of the duty being advanced early in the present Session of Par liament. The price has not advanced. It is 9s. 7d. to 9s. Ed. At a late hour two parcels Demerara Rum sold, 30 over, puns. and hhds., 3s. The other, 34 to 37 over, 2s. I Id. to 3s. TALLOW.—The Tallow Market continues steady; the pur chases for immediate consumption are very extensive ; fine quality is much inquired after at higher rates. The quotation at a late hour this evening was 435. 3d. The speculators for the fall of Tallow, have been offering large parcels of rejected Tallow at rather lower prices ; these were rejected, not on ac count of the quality, but owing to a question arising out of the de late bankruptcy of the brokers ; they also offer for repute, on account of the numero us failures which we noted some weeks ago. TURPENTINE. — A parcel in this week sold a t about 13s. on the Liverpool terms of 1 - s th and 2,000 barrels more arrived, distant out - livery on lower terms, but the latter ha ve g one entirely of and 13s„ 6d. asked on same terms, which our London drawers object to buy on. INDIGO.—The Indigo Market appears to b e ver y firm ; there are no sellers of parcels of the late India House sale, except at an advance. The late sale at Liverpool went off 3d, to 4d. per lb. higher than the market prices here, which has again given increased confi dence to the holders ; but some of t h e over-anxious speculators for the r ise have injured their own cause by industriously circulating a very foolish letter from Bordeaux, with intelligence from Calcutta, 2d October, in which the crop of Indigo is stated so low as 60,000 maunds. The accounts direct to London mention the crop at 80,000 to to 85,000 maunds, which we have reason to believe is correct, :i f prices, , Refinedan da , also, ando Sperm being i Olive and even this is still a very low average prod uc ti on. Olos.—Common Oils have realised a t pu bli c sale during the last week van the quoted to 4 Is. 6 are lower; a parcel was offered at public s a l e an d b oug ht i n, the holders requiring 50/. In Gallipoli Oil no sa l e. R ape Oil has ad scarce Oil is eixypeec Oils dearer. Linseed Oil of heavy sale and a shade lower. SPlCES.—Spices are dull. Ord. half heavy Pepper 31d. ; good heavy black 3/d. to 41d. Pimento is also a shade lower, mid. to good 41d. to 4-Id. WOOL.—No business whatever doing in Foreign Wools ; the arrivals are large. For English Wool prices are advancing TEA.—There is more firmness in the market, and both Boheas and Congous may be quoted as rather better. Corrox.--There are more inquiries after Cotton, but the actual sales reported are too considerable for enumeration. SALTPETRE.—SaItpetre is heavy and rather lower ; the Refined has fallen to 365. and 365. 6d. RicE.—Rice is still dull; new Z'arolina is 345. FRUIT.—In Currants and in the low descriptions of Fruit there have been extensive transactions ; the fine are still neglected. GLAS GO IV MARKETS. (From the Glasgow Herald of Monday.)
