Tin whole scheme seems to have been confined to a few agita tors, who prevail,d on the lower el asses to rise against the local authorities. Osterode imtnetiately received a mili tary garrison, on the art meal of which serveral of tht rioters were arrested. The wudents at Gottingen are said to have greatly contributed to the re•toration of order. In consequence of these events, the Give:lament finds itself under the necessity of sending considerable military forces t., the province of Gottingen.

" Slll,—The functions to which I have been called by the confluence of the King, compel me, though with re gret, to relinquish my banking-business, which will be henceforth carried on for the purpose of liquidating all out standing account.. One of my partners, M. Baigtpres, being de ad, and the other, Mr. Thomas Phillips, desiring to retire, the liquidation will be corded on by my nephew, Ferrere Lafitte, assisted, in case of need, by persons duly authorised, and whom I shall hereafter name. Until' more favourable circumstances shall admit of the renewal of an establishment to which some honourable recollections are attached, toy nephew has formed a provisional house, in order to continue that connection with my old friend, which I shall be happy to see him cultivate. I therefore solicit in his favour a continuance of those kind senti mentswith which you have honoured me ; he is worthy of them from his talents, his prudence, and integrity.

LONDON WAREHOUSE, 2, Cheapside, near St. Paul's. MR. R EDMOND.—Yesterday morning peace officer Inwix waited on Mr. REDMOND, at his residence at Mount-pleasant, and arrested him as another conspirator to evade the precious proclamation. Mr. REDMOND ac companied the policeman to the Head Office. Mr. RED MOND desired to see the warrant on which he was ar rested. He then desired to see the information, which was refused. Before giving bail, he protested against the illegality of the proceeding. He said that it is fortunate that the present struggle is divested of the sectarian hatred xhich has heretofore affected Ireland; that he also be lievtd it is divested of personal hostility. Every man re spects the personal character of Lord ANGLESEA, however he may detest his present measures. Addressing the magistrates, he said—However you, gentlemen, may be obliged to act in the execution of your duty, you must be convinced that the future bred of your own children de pends on the success of our struggle. J. M. Dor-% aT, Esq., and JAMES FARRELL, Esq., both of Mount-pleasant, gave hail, and Mr. REDMOND way liberated.—Dublin Morning Register. A few evenings since Paris was visited by a very beautiful Aurora Borealis, which continued from about half-past five till nearly midnight; but the phenomenon was not uniform, either in its appearance or intensity, it being seen in all its brilliancy only at certain petiole. About six o'clock strong flashes of light issued from the horizon in the direction of the north-west, and to a con siderable extent. A person standing on the Pont des Arts, could perceive them over the Tuileries, between that Pa lace and the Louvre. This species of rockets, which were at various distances from each other, leached the zenith, and spread a bright light over the sky, which, at certain points, became of a rich cherry-colour. The heavens afterwards remained illuminated faintly, bat uniformly, as from a distant fire the light was white, and contrasted with the rest of the atmosphere, which was enveloped in intense darkness. Between half-past ten and eleven o'clock a luminous arch sprung to about 45 degrees with the horizon, and extended between the two points above mentioned. The inner part of the arch was dull, nor did any coruscations emanate from the outward edge of the curve. This form was continued without any variation for a quarter of an hour. At a quarter past eleven o'clock, nothing remained but a pale white gleam, which appeared to be gradually fading away, when all at once fresh bursts of light sprung from the horizon like rockets that have attained their utmost elevation. From the Pont des Arts they were perceptible over the clock tower of the Louvre, and as far as the garden of the Tuileries. These rays did not converge, hut appeared at unequal distances . from each other, of various magnitudes, and different degrees of intensity, anti the sky again partially displayed a re newal of the rich cherry-coloured tint. These luminous sallies did not last more than half a minute. This phe nomenon is rarely seen in Paris when the weather is clear. The atmosphere was perfectly transparent and free from the slightest vapour. The wind was from the north-west ; the barometer 284, and the thermometer one degree below zero. Ile Aurora Borealis that appeared on Friday at Paris was observed at Brussels about six o'clock the canoe evening. A similar une, xvhich was seen in the latter town five or six weeks ago, ruse from the west, and was visibl e fur some hours. It was bordered by large black and white atreake... Galignani'o Aleseenyer. The Academic Council assembled yesterday at the Sor bonne,• under the Presidency of M. Barthe, Minister of Public Instruction. The matter for consideration was the conduct of several students, who had been cited for having published in the journals an address calling upon the schools to form associations prohibited by the existing laws and ordinances. The young men refused to answer the interrogatories put to them, and retired, leaving a protest to the following effect, to which they had affix,d their signatures:— " The Students, Members of the Provisional Com mittee of the Assoeiation of the Schools, who signed the answer to the Proclamatioa of M. Barthe, and now cited t I appear before the Academic Council, recognise no other tribunals than those instituted by the law as competent to pronounce, in the forms ordained by law, upon the offences provided foe. by the law. " They know not the pretended tribunal which assumes the name of Royal Council of Public Instruction, and which has referred the affair to another pret, nded tribu nal, calling itself the Academic Council. " Therefore, they declare that if the members of this species of Prevotal, Court take upon themselves to act as judges, investing an act of violence with the false charac ter of a judicial condemnation, they will be liable to all the responsibility they may incur by acting under no other law than that of force; and they rely upon obtaining future but early redress for the iniquity of which they would become v:ctims.

The Academic Council will pronounce its decision on Saturday. The Nourdliste 'Vaudois says—" We learn by a private letter from Paris, that General Sebastiani, Mi nister fur Foreign Affairs, has testified to the Swiss envoy how well satisfied France is with the measures taken by the Diet, and added, that she acknowladeed with pleasure its neutrality, as, thanks to the revolutions which had taken place in Switzerland, the French could rely on the sympathy of the chiefs of the Cantons. The Mini'ter is also said to have declared that France did not wish for war ; that other powers might provoke it, with a view to further the views of the Jacobins, and consequently create serious troubles. However, France was prepared for every event, and her first operation would he the occu pation, and a simultaneous irruption into, Italy and beyond the Rhine." The Sentindle Genevoise has the following :—" They write from Berrie that the Swiss troops dismissed from France have been armed by the Bernese Government, and posted behind the Hotel de Ville, with orders to fire upon the people on the least disturbance. It has been anxiously asked, what would be the fate of these poor fellows if, as is probable, in their present situation, the second act of the piece, commenced in July last at the Hotel de Ville of Paris, should be performed ?" The 'Warsaw Gazette of the 6th states that the Grand Duke Constantine wished todisarm and disband the Lithuanian corps under the command of General Rosen, upon which, it is said, a combat took place between them and the troops of General Pahlen, sent for the purpose of disarming them : 4,000 Lithuanians were killed, and General Pahlen lost 8,000 men. In the end, General Rosen and the remainder of the Lithuanian corps assumed the Polish white cockade. The fortifications of Warsaw and Psaga are completed. We find the following in the Augsburgh Gazette, dated Frontiers of Poland, Jan. 2 :—" They write fr om St. Petersbur g h, th a t th e acr imonious feelings against Poland are beginning to subside, and it is even asserted that the Grand D u k e C ons t an ti ne has succeeded in allay ing the exasperation of the Emperor, and inducing him to try to come to:an amicable arrangement. The Ladi es of the Court, many of whom h ave a lliances in Poland, also employ all their efforts to obtain a favourable result. It is believed that if Prince Luhecki could but obtain a private audience of his Imperial Majesty, every thing would be ar ranged, and the march of the troops countermanded." The following is an extract of a letter of the 15th inst. from Basle :—" The last sot tie of our troops was crowned with complete success. They gained possession of the vil lage of Alichwyl, and after having brought the peasantry to submission, conducted one of the most distinguish e d among them into the town as a hostage. Four of the chiefs of the insurgents have fled from Leistall, and sought re fuge in Argan. The small corps that approached Basle, committed every species of excess in the country houses belonging to the inhabitants of Basle, and among others, at Munchenslein and Reinach, which they plundered, and emptied the cellars. The principal chief of the insurgents, named Blarer, formerly Grand Judge of the ci-devant regiment of Bleuler, in the service of France, had but just time to escape, leaving behind him his correspondence and other papers, with his ba g _ gage, all of which were seized. Everything announces that the Communes are on the point of making their sub mission, and that tranquillity will be very shortly re-es tablished. By another letter of the 16th, we are in formed that the insurgent peasantry are beaten and dispersed, and are returning to their homes. After several successful sorties, the country , people were at tacked yesterday, in the village of Mitacntz, where they mustered to the number of 1,500- The Basle troops con sisted of about 1,000 men, with eight pieces of artillery. The peasants only stood two rounds of cannon, and then they fled to the woods and mountains with 60 much preci pitation, that not more than 30 of them could be taken prisoners.

A noted leader of the Cholans, named Terrier, recently made his appearance in the arrondissement of Chateau briand, with about 12 men wearing the white cockade.— The police hare been sent in pursuit of them. The Gazette des Tribunaux of the 16th and 18th in stant contains a very long detail of the proceedings of the inquest held at St. Leu on the death of the Prince de Conde. To any one whose mind has been prejudiced by the anonymous pamphlet called An Appeal to Public Opinion, or with whom the shadow of a suspicion yet re mains upon this interesting subject, we recommend a care ful perusal of the proceedings, and an equally careful pe rusal of the will, which has been so vainly disputed.

It may not be unimportant to state that he has been Com mander-in-Chief of the Polish and Lithuanian army, and that the Civil Government of Lithuania was confided to him by his brother since 1824. It was from that period that he organised the Lithuanian army similar to that of Poland, changed the Russian arms for those of the Jagellen, and even adopted the amaranth colour, very much to the dissatisfaction of the Russian patriots. You are aware of the old prophecy circulated by Catherine 11., that the throne of co thodox Greece would not be re-established i x cept by a Northern Prince of the name of Constantin. You must conceive that a political revolution is not all impossible in Russia. DEFENCE OF WARSAW. Our fortifications will shortly be completed.' The whole corporation of fishermen, and that of the millers, assembled in the church; and after mass and benediction they set out to work at the fortifications. In crossing the Rue Longue, near the square of the Palace of the Re public, they were joined by another body, composed of the actors and actresses of our two national theatres.

PARIS, JAN. 20 .—Respecting Poland, we have no new facts to-day. Reports of preparations for war by the Porte are in circulation, and are believed, because every body who thought on the subject foresaw and predicted them ; but they are not, I am afraid, founded on real corn. munications from Constantinople. The Paris Journals will prove to you the approaching maturity' of the preparations of France for war. Of the is ya riou i s perhaps the newspaper s o f t hi s day, the following (from the Globe) uost j o v u e l• : till find on the subject in the " The Lieutenant General (Pajol) Commandant of the First Military Division, has reported to the Minister of War that the recruits who have lately joined the army will he in a condition to take part in the exercise of their respective battalions by the end of the present month, and fit to enter upon campaign in the month of March." The actual number of soldiers expected to be under arms at the period above mentioned may he, perhaps, safely inferred from the fact that orders have been given for the supply- of 400,000 full suits of uniform within the space of one month. These orders are in process of exe cution at a manufactory of equipentens militaire in the rue de Sevres, at Paris.' * The various articles of dress are cut out by hand, and sewed by inachi4ery. Among the addresses and petitions, with the reading ,f which the Ihminess of the day commenced, was one mopo•ing Prince Charles (the Archduke Charles of Aus ri t) as the S vereign of Be ; one from some inha 'hitathts of Antwerp, proposing the Ph ince of Salm ; atm- I , er the Duhe of Leuchtenburg; and another Prince Poni rtowski. The President s hid, he bad re eived from M. de Rye kere a letter, announcing. his resignation of the functions of Member of the Congress, with his reasons for so doing This letter was ordered to be real The Hon. Member •ays, that he had se.,•eptehl with joy the honourable mission -f forming part of the assembly, hoping that his zeal 1 . ., he welfare of his country, and some knowledge of its -on- and its interests, would enaLle iim to he of serve ; (Fit he had joinad in the vote for th" exclusion of flee 'muse of Nassau, which he thought ju•tilistl thy a long sr ies of oppression, by the bloodshed in 13russds, an d the calamities of Antwerp ; that there was at that time reason to hope the establishment of a constitutional me archy, with the ascent of tit, hhei;!,llbouring nations, and •0 a basis suitable to our opinions, our wants, and our national character. " This hope," says M. de Ryckere. " can no longer exist. The factions which divide the country, whoseanium.ity daily increases.--the tumultuous netEcieney of our deliberati.ms,--the unhappy efforts of our negotiators, who are every moment deceived by the studied dilatorini si of foreign diplomacy ; the systmatie perseverance of Holland in the projects which it has formed from the very moment of ours partition,--perhaps, also, events stronger than all human calculations,—have contributed to dispel those dreams of pats iotism." After some further observations on the unfortunate situa tion of the country, which is threatened even with the loss of the independence which it has compered by its blood, he declares that he is fully convinced that the only means of preserving the independence and the prosperity of the country, and the integrity of its territmy, is a dectee to except Prince William of Orange from the exclusion pro nounced I, against the house of Nassau, and that he would have defended this opinion in the assembly, had not a re cent circumstance proved that the assembly would not listen to such a proposal, much less to any arguments in support of it. M. de Ryckere therefore begs the assembly to accept his resignation of a post in which he can render no service. M. Alexander Rodenbach—Good bye, the resignation is accepted. \l. Zotide propostd that the sittings of the assembly should be declared permanent, till it proceeded to the choice a held of the state. The Duke of Leuchtenburg would be agreeable to the French nation, and documents which may be considered as official prove that he will accept. M. de Stassart supported the motion. M. de Robaulx thought there was no need of precipita tion. After a lorg deb ite or conversation, it was resolved that the sections should examine in the evening the pro posal of M. Zoude, together with that of M. Beaulieu de Ducal, for sending commissioners to London, and that of M. Constantine Rodenbach, to fix a day for the election of bead of the State. SITTING OF JAN. 19. An address from an individual proposes Louis Philip as Sovereign of Belgium. Others propose the Duke of Leuebtenburg. M. Rackein, the reporter of the Central Section, read the report on the proposals of Messrs. Zoude, Ducal, and C. Rodenbach. Almost all the nine sections disapproved of M. Ducal's proposal to send Commissioners to London : on the other points they differed. The Central Section thought it necessary immediately to proceed to the election f a Sovereign, and proposed that to-morrow, Jan. ;W, should be fixed for making that choice. M. Lebt , an ascended the tribune, and read a proposal of a decree in three articles— " 1. To invite the Dake of Leushtenburg to accept the throne of Belgium. " 2. To proclaim him as soon as he shall have taken the necessary oaths. "3. To send a deputation of five Members of the Congress to announce this decree to him; to communicate to him the articles of the Constitution already adopted ; and to obtain th e assurance o f hi s d eterm i nat i on. " _ _ M. Lebeau spoke at great length in favour of his mo tion. He dwelt on the (huger of delay, praised the Duke and his father, showed the advantages that might arise from his family alliances with Sweden, Bavaria, and Brazil, and concluded by saying, " Let us stifle Orarigeism." —(Bravo, bravo ; acclamations even in the gallerie;.) M. de Stassart was for adopting the opinion of the cen • tral section, to proceed to-morrow to the choice of a So vereign. He thought the Members might weigh the powerful reasons which M. Lebeau had adduced i❑ favour of the Duke, especially as this was not the first time the Duke had been spoken of as a candidate, and every body had had time to form an opinion. M. Legrele had no objection to the Duke, but said it was necessary to know the intentions of the High Powers. (Cries and hootings in the galleries.) The whole assembly rose ; a number of Members spoke at once. The confusion was extreme. Some Members exclaimed, c , Those excu,es must be checked ; we are not to receive the law from the galleries." Many Mem bers, raising their hands, said, "If this continues, I withdraw." Ihe President threatened to have the gal leries cleared if they expressed either approbation or disapprobation. M. de Senes,'sen., was of the same opinion as . M. Legrele. M. Devaux—lt is time we should accomplish our task. A Prince of Naples is proposed to us whom we should refuse—a Prince of Orange, whom we shall still less think of choosing. Read his proclamation ; he speaks more confidently—he addresses not the Congress but the people. He is in Holland, and preparing an ex pedition against Belgium. M. A. nodenbach—A seditious proclamation is now circulated. Let us hasten to choose a Sovereign, that we may hear no more of this house of Nassau, which I detest. (Bravo in the galleries,) In the end, M. Dttvars proposal was rejected iby 89 to 72. 111. Torguer then immediately repeated it, with the alte ration that the commissioners shall be sent to Paris instead of London : adopted by SO voted to 75. On the motion of M. Van Smik, it was resolved, after a scene of great noise and confusion, that the debate on the choice of a Sovereign shall take place on the 28th of Ja nuary at the latest. M. Lebeau's proposal in favour of the Duke of Leuch tenburgh was re`erred to the sections. SITTING OF JAN. 20. Various addresses propose, as the head of the State, General SAastiani, Viscount Chateauhriand, the Prince of Savoy Carignan, or the Duke of Leuchtenburg. An other would have Colonel Fabvier appointed dictator. In the sittings of these three days the Congress dis cussed also seine of the articles of the law for the organi zation of the Civic Guard, and some of those of the pro ject of constitution. BRUSSELS, JAN. 19.—An alarming agitation prevailed yesterday in Brussels. It is evident that there are persons working on the minds of the people, and preparing scenes of disorder. Numerous and even threatening assemblages were formed about the Town-hall and elsewhere. In the evening noisy groups traversed the streets and squares, and though the tranquillity of the city wa; not disturbed, it was really in danger. It is evident that the clerical anarchists are feeling the ground, trying their strength, and preparing for acts of violence and tumult. During this fermentation the patrols of the civic guard were no where in motion. Jaw. 20.—Count Migan, colonel and chamberlain of the Duke of Leuchtenhurg, who arrived here on Monday from Munich, set out this morning at two o'cloek for Paris.

The Dictator has opened at the Bank a credit for the Commis_nission of Government, for the purpose of having 100 pieces of cannon cast.

STEAM CARRIAGES.—It appears from the Mechanics' Magazine of this week, that Messrs. ilamTn WAITE and ERICSSON'S steam-carriage,"the William lir., (so named by special permission of his MAJESTY), having undergone certain repairs, rendered necessary by a serious accident which befell it in September last, has again made its appe 'ranee on the Liverpool railway, and been tried repeatedly with great sneer's. " The result firmlly established is this—that with the steam at a pressure of two pounds, and the tender only attached, it can go aftlie rate of fifteen miles an hour; and that with fifteen poUnds of steam, and sixty tons gross weight, it can travel at the rate of ten miles an hour." It has been stated erroneously that Lord MILTON /,ill presented the " trustees of the Coloured Cloth Hall, at Leeds, with the sofa of 1,000/., which was lent to them some years ago, when the Hall was built."— Toe fact is, that Lord MILTON lent the trustees 1,000/. on their bond, hearing interest, when that hall was raised ; f which sem .500/. was repaid to his Lordship by the trustees some time ago, and on the interest for t!:e remain inz 500/. becoming due, his Lordthip, with his charac teristic generosity, caused the trumets to be informed that the bond and the debt would henceforth be con,idere i as unnulled.—Leeds Mercury. AMERICAN TARIFF.—One effect of this measure Las been the importation of English yarn into thc. Unite/ States, instead of cloth. Formerly we exported vast quantities of cloths to Americo, but the duty imposed by the tariff is now, including freight, &c., 184. per yard, and we send them the yarn to make them of in the dyed state. Immense quantities of cotton, linen, worsted, and woollen yarns are now exported from England, and woven in foreign countries, in some of which the power•loom is in full operation.---Leads Mircury. A most astounding occurrence took place on Saturday at Gort. Mr. Buazz Form. applied to the Bench at petty sessions for the nee of the court-house to hod a Repeal meeting. Lord Coax at once refused ; an altercation ensued, and Mr. FOSTER. was at length dragged out of the court by the police. The people are said to have been greatly inflamed. Mr. FOSTER. addressed them from the steps of the Court, with Lord Goat at one side and the Chief Constable on the other. The people departed peaceably, and Mr. Fame. was not committed to prison, as had been threatened. On Tuesday night, between eight and nine ()mock, as Mr. JosErr( ATuttsott, jnn., of Bradley_ mills, was returning from Huddersfield, he was stopped near the toll-bar, a short distsnce from his residence, by three men who demanded his money. Mr. ATKINSON had a brace of pistols in his pocket, and he pulled one of them out, and presented it at the robbers, bat they wrested i t from him, and fired it at his head. At the critical ma_ inent Mr. ATKINsoN raised his hand, and pushed th e pistol aside, and the ball went through his bat withou t doing him any other injury. The villains then took t o their heels and ran off, and Mr. ATKINSON fired his othe r pistol afer them, but without effect.--Leeds Intelligencer MARCH OF ELEGANCE.—We were rather amused at the last Sessions by he•iring the officer of the Court read over the names of a family of paupers, whose settlement was the subject of dispute ; they were as fol low :—" Frederick, Elizabeth Julia, Theresa Matilda, Amelia, Eugenia, Agrippa, and Emma !"

Extract from a letter, dated Cootehill, Jan. 7. —" Tliih part of the country is really in a frightful state. For several days meetings of the peasantry have taken place, at which the total abolition of tithes, and the re duction of rents were agreed upon. A general meeting was called for yesterday, at which it was expected that several thousand persons would have attended. The magistrates, however, being apprised of the intentions of the :people, took such precautionary measures as for the present at least were sufficient to overawe the peasantry and preserve the peace of the country. A troop of dragoons were stationed at &Hat:twat Forest—a detachment of in fantry from Cavan was lodged in the Market-howl. The Ashfield and Cootehill Yeomanry were also stationed in the tawa, but happily the troops were not called upon to act.

We all know that Sir HUMPHREY DAVY was the creator of electro-chemistry—that he was the in ventor of the safety-lamp, but few are aware that he was al,o a poet, and that the chemist wrote the prologue to the Honey Moon.

He was also an epicure of the drollest kind, for he was curious in tasting every thing that had never been tasted before, and interfered himself in the composition of dishes intended for his table, thereby encountering the wrath of strange cooks, and running serious risks in inn kitchens. We have long heard his name eonpled with aristocratic parties, hut we sec how he contrived to reconcile the calls of the laboratory and the invitations of great people.
