The Noble Marquis gave notice, that it was his intention on Wednesday next, when he would present th e general petition from the Roman Catholics, and also one from the Roman Catholic Bishops, to point out a course which he wished to suggest for the adop tion of the House, without going into the merits of th e General Question : and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT gave notice that he would submit a motion on the' subject of the Roman Catholic Claims, on, Thigsclay the 22d inst., for which day a Call of the House wias fixed. ; His Majesty's packet brig Zephyr has arrived with a Mediterranean and Cadiz mail.' She sailed from Malta on the . 21st DeceMber, from Gibraltar on the 16th January, and Cadiz on the 19th January. It is mentioned by historians that in consideration of the virtue and exploits of the Emperor PR oßus, the Roman Senate conferred on him . the title of Father of his Country, and the right of making, in the same day, three motions in the Senate. On the Emperor MARCUS ANTONINUS, they had at an earlier period conferred the still higher distinction of "jus pinta relationis," or the power of making five. But what are these to Mr. HUME's self-emanating privilege of making some twenty or thirty of an evening ? Would not the ancient Romans be lost in astonishment of character and talents sufficient to confer on their pos sessor a distinction so far beyond that of which they had any notion ? But sensibly alive to the extraor dinary merits of our great calculator, we trust that he will, during the present Session, use with be coming moderation those high privileges , with which he has invested himself. In his zeal for eccmomp—we - hope that he - will not overlook the econo m y of time, but will feel anxious that the dignity of the house should be transmitted to posterity unimpaired by the effect of his over frequent and frivolous motions, notices, and petitions. Nor is there Only one bad effect of such procedure, for trifling sub jects naturally defraud more important ones of their just share of attention, since on a night when a very weighty matter is to be discussed, if some sturdy s Pealier gets Up and keeps possession of the House for thre e or four hours, it is not in human nature subse tlnetltly to bestow on the more important question that consideration which it deserved. We cannot say however, that be has raised any hopes of his improve rnent in this respect, by moving again for papers on that eternal subject of Major ARTHUR and Colone. BRADLEY. It • ,Is.unnecessary now to give any opinion regarding the merit s of that business, but feelin g sincere regret for any I case of individual hardship, which may originate iu an error of judgment, and not in wilful mistake, w e must regard this as one which having frequently tmdergon, discussion, Mr. HUME can have no rational expectation of being able to alter a decision so often confirmed. We must,• therefore, look on his farther interferenCe as calculated to produce much unnecessary annoyance. lite Austrian Observer of the 28th ult. has been received this morning, by which it will be seen that the Marquis- DE RIBEAUPIERRE had set out on the 15th, to fill the post of Russian Ambassador to the Porte and JASSY JAN. 15. The Marquis. de Rib eaup i erre set out yesterda , y to Bucharest Const antinople, t o 5 11 the post of Russian Ambassador to the Porte. ' M. Ponton, Councillor of State, and M. V. Berg, the secretary of Legation, followed him this morning. Besides the Alehrnander and Commissioner Constantine Konaki, who /mom- F'lles the Russian Legation through Moldavia to the frontiers of Wallaelda, the Iroipodar sends with it his son-in-law, Gregory Ghika and Aja Alexander Bulsch. The All ge . 'b Zeittino• of the 3d i nstant h as also been received; 'lint it Contains little more than the account of some aqUabbles betwee n the Cardinals at Rome and Father, VENT URA who has been dismissed from his Professorship of Canon .k , of hi s sa l ar of 2000 crowns. avv, and d epr i ve d Y The Kin g o f F RANCE has p resente d some wonderful :specimen s o f art to his HOLINESS, in return for the consecrated trunch eon . to the DAUPHIN. aosa, nz c * All Rome t a lks of the magnificent presents which the R . 6.

They are reported to consist of a table clock, more perfect than any ever before made, of a piece of Gobeline tapestry, a bronze candelabra, and a china vase, said to be eight feet high, e om _ posed of four pieces, which are connected together by a costly net. Among the news of the day the most important is that the famousGiornale Ecclesiastic° is again gone to rest, probably never to awake again. We ear' as little of it as i had never existed. The proprietor has lost very considerably by it, and ha's voluntarily renounced his licence, as nobody could be found willing to buy it of him. Not he alone, but Father Ventura has snffered by it. You recollected the controversy in which he was engaged with the Cardinals, each of whom thinks of becoming Pope, and the Prelates of whom each thinks of becoming Cardinal and Pope, in conse quence of the "opinion which, he perhaps, innocently expressed, that " of all the forms of Government an elective monarchy is the worst." At first the affair took a favourable turn for the father, he even obtained permission to print, without being subject to the censorship, his answer to the odious accusations brought against him, and also the first two parts of a new commentary on the canon law. But all at once the tables were turned ; not only is the licence refused to finish the third part, but he is re moved from his Professorship of Canon Law in this University, with a salary of 2000 crowns, and another is already appointed in his room. VIINNA, Jaw. 29.—Metalliques, SS ; Bank Shares, 1050 We understand that ESCOMBE is the name of the young gentleman who has obtained Mr. WYNNE'S Prize Writership, and we sincerely hope that by his future career, he will do credit to the Judges who se lected, and to the Institution which reared him. In not strenuously resisting the systematic attacks which have been made on Haileybury, we are not sure that the 'Directors of the East India Company are fully aware of the danger which their own patronage would incur were that institution suppressed. They have been long ac customed to look on the distribution of writerships and cadetships as a species of private property, and the expulsion from Haileybury of any of their prOtegees as an infringement of it. But they should con sider that there is something much More dazzling in the rival system commenced by . 1 11 r. WYNNE, and that :the notions of the present day are rather against the viewing of patronage in the light we have alluded to—unless the just exercise of it be effectually guars - nteed — by tests of some description. Above all, :we, would remind them that EUCLID'S axiom iit perfectly true, that a part is less than the whole, and, we may say, better too, when applied to the loss of the good things of this world. We are staunch friends to the College, upon accurate acquaintance with its merits, and must therefore express our hopes, that notwithstanding the suspension of the Act rendering it indispensable for civil servants to be educated there, the number of students entered at Haileybury this year will not be less than usual. We are sorry to state that Lieutenant-General RAMSEY, Com mandant of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, died this morning. We have also mach regret in stating, that General Wm. CART WRIGHT died . yesterday. By his death the Colonelcy of the let Dragoon Guards become vacant. We understand that Lieut.-Col. JAMES WEBBER SMITII, C.B. commanding the detachment of Royal Artillery in Portugal, has been recalled, and that Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. MAY, K.C.B. and K.C.H., has been appointed to succeed him, and ordered to pro ceed forthwith - to Lisbon. Extract of a letter from Monte Video, dated 20th November, I S26:—The John, from London, after being looked for, came in this morning a prize to the squadron blockading Buenos Ayres. The Utopia of Liverpool, George of Glasgow, and John, are the only English prizes now here, I believe, besides two or three Americans, with cargos of British property from foreign parts. The Lima, from Liverpool, brings word that the Government at home refuses interfering in reference to those already sent to Rio de Janeiro ; but there are here some cases so unjust, it is sup, posed, they must do so. This is a war, not against the Govern ments at variance, but against the British particularly. A file of papers from Port-au-Prince (Hayti) to the 17th of Dec. was received yesterday. They contain no news, but seem to establish the fact which has been so much disputed lately, of the existence of a rural code in Hayti, as the Telegraphs of the 12th of Novem ber contains a notice from the office of the Chief Secretary to the Government, fixing the amount of a stamp duty to be paid on cer tain contracts prescribed by the law No. 3, of the Rural Code.__.. It appears also by the address to the Chamber of Deputies in Hayti, at the close of the session on the 10th of May last, that a Rural Code is mentioned as one of the measures completed during its continuance. No copy of such a, code has, however, reached England by the present arrival. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve &Clock. The French Funds, which came by express this morning, having risen, occasioned' the British Funds to have an advance also. Consols opened at 824 and went up to 8* hut soon after they became rather Rat, arising from the reports relative to the state of Mr. Canning's health, some of which were of a very alarming nature.

A EANICRUPT. His LORDSHIP stated that he had giien this matter his most serious attention since it was argued before him, in which the question was, whether 1;700/. was to be considered as the separate estate of Mr. Dan, a partner, or as the estate of Dan and Bentbsm . ?' Before the bankruptcy, it was clear that for several years, this amount of property, being of a reversionary nature, had been considered as the separate estate of Mr. Dan ; the Commissioners under the Commission had, in the first place; also so considered it, but afterwards they had held it to be a joint estate ; it then came before the Vice-Chancellor, who had agreed with the Commissioners in their last judgment, and next followed the appeal to this branch of the Court. Under the circumstances of this matter, his Lordship would not be surprised, should any third person differ from his opi nion ; but still it was the duty of those who had to pronounce a judicial opinion, to pronounce their own judgment; and his motion upon the question certainly was, that it was the separate estate ,of Dan. This was the first opinion he had form ed upon having heard the matter at the bar ; he had tried to alter it, but in vain, and therefore the order would have to be, rever sing the Vice-Chancellor's order. ALTERATIONS OF THE COURT. His Loansuir observed in the cotate of the Morning, that the part of the Court in which he sat, was so cold, as to make it Almost impossible for him to retnain for any length of time in his Chair. Counsel joined his Lordship in loud complaints against the con struction of the Court altogether. Heat and cold in it were al ternate ; they could not understand it at all. Entering into part of it was like stepping into a volcano, whilst a person, in some other parts of it, might fancy. himself in Greenland. His LORDSHIP said, there must be some considerable altera tions made in the Court, but what those alterations world have to be might require some consideration. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S' COURT. The Court was occupied this morning in hearing " short causes," none of which possessed any general interest. COURT OF KING'S 13FNCH. ROWE V. BRENTON'. This was an action of trespass brought against the defendant, for carrying off copper ore from the premises of the plaintiff, who resided within the manor of the Duchy of Cornwall. It was tried at the Assizes in Durham in 1825; when a: verdict was given for the plaintiff. A rule for a new trial was subsequently had on the grounds that the defendant, acting as agent to a Mining Com pany, which leased all the mines and minerals situated within the Duehy of Cornwall, of the Crown, his Majesty (by reason of his being Prince of Wales) being Lord of the Manor, was justified in entering on the premises in question, and carrying off the ore. The Aproaxer-GrxisaAL obtained a rule this term to have the case tried at Bar, on the ground that the. Crown was in *rested. Mr. Bkotrottax appeared this day to sliew cause, why the rule should not be discharged; the Crown, he observed, was not entitled to :a trial at Bar, unless it was a party to the case on re cord, or directly interested ; as it had leased out its interest in the mines in question, for which it had received a remuneration, it was evident that the Crown had no direct interest in the result. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that the fact of the Attorney-General baying appeared in person to apply for a trial at Bar, was suffi cient evidence of the Crown being interested, and to reverse the rule which the Court had granted in this case would be acting contrary to the established doctrine of Westminster Hall. It was not necessary that the King should be a party on record to entitle him to a trial at Bar ; it was sufficient that he had any interest in the result.—The rule for a trial at Bar was therefore confirmed. JUDGMENT. THZ ZING V. SLAY. - - - The defendant in this case, who is a wine merchant, residing .in Mark-lane, London, was convicted of having published a libel on Sir Gilbert East, Baronet, on writing a letter to him containing:the following words :—" You may be a .Baronet, but you are a disgrace to your rank. lam sure you are not a gen tleman." The above letter was written inconsequence of the prose cutor's complaining of short measure in some wine which he bought of the defendant. Being brought up this day for judgment, Mr. Brougham addressed the Court in mitigation, and Mr. Scarlett in aggravation of punishment. Ur. Justice BAYLEY, in passing the sentence of the Court, ob served that the fact of the defendant having previously to the in dictment beini found expreeted his regret for having written such a letter, and having offered 'to make a personal apology, and pay a sum of money, -operated very much in his favour. The sentence of the Court was, that he pay a fine of 501. and be dis charged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court was occupied this morning in hearing and deciding points of law in cases of no general interest. PREROGATIVE COURT. (Before Sir J. Nrcnotz, Knight). BOOTH V. HURD. This was a suit to decide the • validity of several testamentary papers, executed by a Mrs. St. Leger, who was stated to have been a lunatic, with lucid intervals. The testator was the Widow of Col. St. Leger, in whose family she had lived as a chamber maid, previous to her marriage. She died at a very advanced age, leaving a large property, derivei from her husband, whose relatives are parties in the present suit, against the relatives of the deceased. • The COURT ordered the allegations to be admitted, :with cer. tain corrections.' COURT OF EXCHEQUER. JUDGMENT IN JONES V. CHESTER. TIM LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this case to a mo tion for setting aside the verdict, and granting a new trial. The case was argued some days past, and stood over for judgment. The action was for an alleged libel in apublic paper in the report of an ap plication to strike the plaintiff,an attarney,offtheßolls for alleged mis behaviour. The plaintiff in the action for libel pleaded first the general issue of not guilty secondly, the . statute of limitation ; thirdly, that the report in which the alleged libel was stated to be contained, was a true and fair report of the proceedings on the above application to the Court ; and fourthly, that the statement was public news. The Jury had re turned a general verdict upon all the pleas in the record, when the .evidence of the plaintiff completely disproved the plea of, the statute of limitation ; upon that plea therefore his Lordship thought a new trial ought to be granted. With regard to the goodness of the other pleai, a, great many im portant'questions mi g ht ar i se , an d t h e Court would not pass any opinion upon that subject in the present stage of the proceedings, as it might come before the Court in an ulterior` stage. His Lord ship, however, thought it necessary to obserVe, that it was riot from want of attention to that subject that the Court now re frained from giving their opinion, as they'had most attentively tg c o n ro ant; e i r d f ood e rus t. ed t the n Ge new trials, ordera and s uo f hadora and formed anddn teiwe u,trialLL Loan cD e opinion. c litgenerally. nr His Lordship then A continued ito Np r o t c o ee hear t to sit at Nisi Prius in the 1 .

The A d L ai e n ar s, neldate Counsel S se ur l itnhaentil, pro_a and ' Mr. ILIUM stated this - t o b e an action for the recovery of certain monies received by th e d e f endant for the plaintiff. The l t a h t e t er defendantw a. 4 the n \- as vido hi v s brother. tl‘hleir... W. ceeded to read some letters f ro m the defendant to the plaintiff, on which he said he should found the whole of his case. The first letter stated the death of the plaintiff's husband, Mr. W. Adams, that he (lied on the Ist September, 1823, after an illness of nine days, the greater part of which time he was delirious, and' consequently - could not make a will ; b ut that in one of his lucid intervals he bad given the writer three notes f hand, each for the value of 15,000 guilders Surinam 'currency, and the defendant at the jams time informed her, that he had in his possession 5,000 guilders belonging to his d eceased brother, which in value amount e d in the whole to between 1,550/. and 1,600/., and which he should transmit to her: In a subsequent letter from Holland, he stated that he was much pressed for money, and asked time for payment of his account with her, at' the same time informing her that the 45,0001. guilders were transfeired to himself only, but in his beneficence he had told her that they were for her. The 7 earned Counsel was then proceeding to call a witness to speak to the value of the guilders, which he assessed a ,6661. I3s. 4d., when , Mr. RICMARD S con t en d e d that the action was irregular, and was brought to rec o v er mon i e s, when there was no evidence that any money had been rece iv e d ; at all events, the notes co u ld not be considered money. The LORD CHIEF BARON considero this objection fatal with regard to the notes, and 'directed the Jury to return a verdict for the value of the 4000 guilders, with liberty for the defendant to move for a new trial. This was ultimately agreed to, and a ver dict fixed at 1581. with 40s. costs. FASHIONABLE. AND MISCELLANEOUS. BRIGHTON, FEB. B.—His MAJESTY'S spirits are so essentially amended, that his music, and evening's converse with his suite, are now a source of exhilarat ing pleasure to him. The Duke of Wellington, to return to town, left the Palace at half -past nine o'clock yesterday morning. His Grace was followed by Sir Herbert Taylor in the earlier part of this day. The latter had the honour of dining with the KING and suite last evening,- when the grand concert-room was illuminated, but not the hanquetting-room; dinner, at seven o'clock, being served up in an apartment of smaller dimensions. An erroneous opinion has obtained publicity,---and even the press has been deceived by it, 7 -that the interior of the Pavilion is gas-lighted ; but such is not the case, and never has been. Chinese lamps, with oil, and argand burners, ai e common in almost all of the rooms. The magnificent lamps, chandeliers, and candelabra, in the state apartments, have no supply from gas,what ever ; but gas is used, and with 'admirable effect, on the exterior of the palace exclusively. In addition to the Earl of Harrowby and Lord Vis count Melville, His MAJESTY gave the Duke of Wellington an audience, after the Council, on Mon day evening. Mr. Canning is not so well to-day as he was yes terday, but strong hopes are yet entertained' that he will be convalescent in a day or two. Lady Howard of Effingham, the Dowager Countess of Newburgh, -Mr. - and Lady Ann Murray, Lord and Lady Gage, the Marquis of Granby, and Mrs. Coutts, left their names at the Palace yesterday and to-day. , The account of the state of the Duke of Sussex yes terday, was, " His Royal Highness was much better." The Royal Duke, we regret to say, is-not yet able to leave hie room. In the late Duke of York's • wardrobe,• the robes, &e. worn by his Royal Highness when a boy were found, which are understood to be the only robes 'remaining belonging to any of the Royal Family, which they wore in their juvenile days. Yesterday the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires transacted business ut -the Foreign Office. Wednesday the Earl of Harrowby gave the first Cabinet Dinner since the Parliamentary season, which was at tended by all the Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, and Mr. Canning. The Earl of Liverpool joined the party .soon after dinner, having dined early. Lieutenant-General Sir Herbert Taylor, Military Secretary to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in- Chief, held a Levee yesterday, at his Office, in the. Horse Guards. Sir F. Burdett was again in the House of Com mons yesterday; he walked with a stick, and was evidently lame in one of his feet. Yesterday Julian Busby, Esq. was called to the Bar, by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn. A memorial to Francis Freeling, Esq. of the Gene ral Post-office, is now circulating, submitting to the Post-Master- General the advantages that would result from extending the new Mail from London through Lincolnshire to Hull,frcm thence to New castle, through Bridlington, Scarborough, Whitby, Guisborough, and Stockton ; by which means the facility of intercourse with those ports and London, &c. would be greatly increased. We understand it is suggested, that the North Mail should leave Hull at 5 p.m. or one hour after the arrival of the London Mail; and reach Hull each morning about 9 a.m. in time for the London Mail.—Lincoln Mercury. ORIGINAL STANZAS. " It was on the 18th of February, 1798, that I saw a young man—they told me he was deranged —standing on the sea-shore, anxiously watching a certain spot in the ocean, which struck me as being like a rock. This I was informed, was his daily practice, for five years•ago, on that very day, and at that very spot, his only sister, who was returning home from Ireland, had hem ship wrecked. He witnessed liter last struggles on the beach. but could render her no assistance; not even the body was ever after recovered. Sinclair's Norway. That Ocean wave—that Ocean wave, It rolls aboye my sister's grave, Hymning . a requiem deep and dull, O'er her who once was beautiful. When last yon harvest moon was bright, She roved in thought beneath its light; Yon harvest moon is waning low— And Isabel—where is she now ? I saw her die—l saw her die, She fixed on me her closing eye In fond faretvell; I rushed to save, But she was in her Ocean grave. She passed away, she passed away, Like sunshine on an April day; The harvest moon looked down from high— But she was with eternity. When life, when love—when all was o'er, The wave crept gently to the shore ; The winds slept, and the sullen sea Seemed weeping for its cruelty : But all too late; I wandered home, Hopeless, as tenant of the tomb, For I had not one friend to bless My cottage hearth of loneliness. The bee hummed by my silent bower, The thrush sung blythe to shrub and flower, And Summer winds came laughing by, As if to mock my agony. They felt d lt no ea t t g h_a grief toiebrhteriecr,s woe; ouldnot know A sister's They could not :—but my brain—my brain— phrenzied, racked—and seared again.

Every: hill and valley, and river and town, has been celebrated by - sorne- poet -or histo rian, or rendered celebrated by the retreat of great men. On the • left are the ruins of Minturnse—the peasants were ploughing With, oxen around the walls of the ampitheatre, and the cattle and sheep reposing on the right, under the shadow of the vast !iquedstet which conveyed water from the neighbouring mountains to the city. A little further down are the marshes where Marius con cealed himself from the partisans of Sylla. 'He was at length discovered, brought to Alinturnte, condemned to death, released by the generous sympathy of the inhabitants, and allowed to escape to Carthage, whence he gave the celebrated reply'to' a messenger • . from Rome---" Tell Sylla that you saw . .I:farius sitting, en the. - ruins of Cart. age." A little further on the left, in the bay of - Gaeta, are the ruins of Formise, rendered immortal by the:death. of Cicero.
