The following is an extract of an official report to the Minister of the Marine from Rear-Admiral Baron Huron, dated on hoard the Iphigenie, in the Roads of Nauplia, on the 27th of December, 1833 :—" I have the painful task of communicating to you the loss of the Superbe, Captain the Count d'Oysonville, which was wrecked on the 15th instant, in the port of Pareika, in the island of Pons. As I had the honour of informing you by my despatch of the 10th instant, I had made every prepara tion for quitting the Roads of Smyrna on the 15th. In artier to prevent tilt re being too many ships close together, in case of adverse winds in the narrow straits of the Chateau, the dif f iculties of which you are well aware of, I directtd the Superbe ship of the line, and the Ga. lathee frigate, Captain Armand, to sail on the 14th, and at the same time recommended the two Captains to come to anchor on the banks called the Salines, if the appearances of rough weather, which had been already observed at Smyrna, continued when they were in the gulf. The two ships were to proceed to Nauplia, and there wait my arrival. Misled by the expectation of a quick passage, which was encouraged by a fine breeze from the east, that carried them at a good rate towards Cape Carabourmou, they determined to leave the gulf. They were not long without having to regret this resolu tion. In a few hours the weather becaine tremendous, and during the night of the 14th there came on one of the most violent hurricanes ever known in these seas. After having lost her maintop-ma-t, all her ails torn from the yards, and her boats washed overboard, the Galathee miraculously gained the passage of Cape Doro at midday on the 15th, though unable to distinguish the land, from which she was only distant a few cables' length, and entered the Bay of Carvi, where she lay till the storm had ceased. On the 22d she cast anchor at Nauplia. The Superbe, having also lost her maintop-tnasr, and a part of her sails, was driven into the channel between Tino and Myconi, and made for the port of Naxos. The darkness, however, prevented her from distinguishing the entrance, and having passed to the west of it, she wis compelled to suffer herself to be carried on, in the hope of gaining the small port of Pareika. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 15111 the ship was no more. She had struck on a concealed reef of rocks and gone to pieces. The fall of her masts, and the difficulties in torming at first a communication with the shore, caused the loss of nine men. These, Sir, are all the particulars that have yet come to my knowledge respecting this unfortunate wreck. But incomplete as they are, I hasten to transmit them to your Excellency, in order that the public in France may not be alarmed with more disastrous accounts. I hastened to despatch the Ville de Marseilles, Captain Leland, to the port of Naxos, which is the nearest Pareika, in order to bring away the crew and convey them to Nauplia. They will be distributed among the ships which are about to return with me to France. I shall leave on the spot where the ship was wrecked 14, sailors, under the command of an officer, to watch it till the weather permits an attempt to save something of her. " I am waiting the arrival at Nauplia of the Cornelie and the Palinure. I am somewhat uneasy about the former. She left Smyrna on the 9th for Salonica, where she was to receive on board the crew of a merchantman which was wrecked in November, on the coast of Mace donia, and may have been overtaken by the hurricane of the 14th. The Palinure left Smyrna on the 19th, 48 hours after the Iphigenie ; and the calms and westerly winds which have prevailed since my arrival at Nauplia may be the cause of her delay. " I am, 84c., Baron HUGON, " Rear-Admiral commanding the Squadron in the Levant." " open my letter to announce that the Cornelie has just been descried. I have also just learned that the American ship the United States, Commodore Patterson, which left the Bay of Smyrna a few hours before the Superbe, after having lost some of her masts, and her sails tern away, and her boats carried cff, and being nearly embayed off the coast of Andros, and expecting every moment to be lost, a sudden gleam of light enabled her to discover the narrow passage between Tino and Andros, she was enabled to get through it and gain the harbour cf Milo." A letter of the 14th instant from Toulon, after men tioning the loss of the Superbe, says " This is the second ship of the line lost in 35 years. The Band was wrecked on the coast of Africa, and the whole of her crew were barbarously murdered by the Bedouins. But the Band was an old worn-out ship, while the Superbe was newly built." We find by the accounts from Hayti that there W 39 every probability of a rupture between France and that Republic, in consequence of the French agent having failud in procuring the indemnity. The French Consul- General had, in consequence, left the Republic, the Pre sident, Boyer, having refused to deliver up Fort Jerernie to France as security for the future . payment. Lincoln has, for the last ten days or a fort night, abounded with light fingered gentry, and the impudence with which they carry on their investigations, almost induces people to believe that they are sent from London on a commission of inquiry by authority.—Bos ton Herald* LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1834. The fall of the Spanish Minister ZEA, so long anticipated, has at length come to pass. Considering the present state of politics in that distracted country, divided between the two hot parties of the Carlists and the Liberals, with. a sort of go-between juste milieu of which little is known, but that it is like most such parties in stormy times, feeble, vacillating and inefficient, it is not matter of astonishment that M. ZEA has fallen now, but that he has not fallen long before. Our surprise is increased, when we remember that he was the favourite of FERDI NAND, and sided with him in all his disputes with the QUEEN, to whom he was personally obnoxious. Again, he had no friends, made so by affection for the man and a conviction of his private, if not of his public, worth ; he was himself the Alpha and Omega of his system, which was bound up with him, and with him, now falls, most probably— " Like Lucifer, never to rise again." M. ZEA'S successor is Senor MARTINEZ de la ROSA. This gentleman has been called to the helm, less, we suspect, from any dispo sition in the QUEEN to encourage a Constitu tional Cortes, than from the late military re presentation from Catalonia, and the general expression of dissatisfaction that was beginning to make itself felt all over the kingdom. But whatever be the cause, certain it is that M. de la RosA's Ministry is an augury of good import. It is an undeniable proof that absolutism is fast wearing itself out in Spain, though despite pre sent indications, we are convinced that the factious monster will yet give much trouble to the constitutional party. We take for granted that one of the earliest acts of the new Minister will be the issuing of a general amnesty, un clogged with exceptions or equivocations, to those liberal patriots who, from motives of na tural distrust, still remain exiles from their native land. That he will convoke the Cortes, too, is most likely, seeing that he himself has been of their number, and was Premier (luring the eventful year of 1822 ; and must by this time be fully aware that Spain, to be well go verned, can only be governed by a Constitu tional party, which may act as a salutary check on the encroachments of Royalty. We hail, therefore, the accession of M. de la ROSA to power, as an omen of good to Spain. We imagine we see in it the first dawn of justice, of common sense, of liberality on that benighted kingdom. Spain has within her all the elements of political and commercial greatness, which need only to be directed into a fitting channel, to restore her to the " high and palmy rank" which she once held among the nations of Europe. Time was, when under a CHARLES V. she was the first European Power ; this she can scarcely be again ; still, under a judicious Government, she may always make herself feared and respected. At present she is simply despised. We beg to call the attention of our readers to a report, given in another column, of the speech of Mr. FRYER on the occasion of a dinner given to him by his constituents at Wolverhampton. Its burden was the absolute necessity to the ' manufacturing interest of repealing the corn laws. It will be seen that Mr. FRYER is a supporter of the opinion that the abolition of the coin laivs Will materially lower the liriCe vt'heat, and that the landoWners are now robbing the people, and ptitting tie amount of the robbery into their own pocket. That they intend to rob the peo ple and put the amount of the robbery into their own pocket there ran be little cloulyc; but we have long toniended that they fail in reaping any aaVantage from their neia'rions legislation, how ever successful they flay have been in raising up rivals for our manufacturers, and depriving our capital and workpcople of profitable employment. Whether, however, the landlords most injure the country or themselves is now, except for their peace of mind, and the soothing away ofdiffi citifies, which may otherwise retard our eman cipation, of very little consequence, for the manner in which the millions are taking the question up must, ere long, set it at rest. It would indeed be strange if the men of Birmingham, of Wolver hampton, of Manchester, of Liverpool, of Glas gow, of London, having once discovered the cause of their industry being fruitless, of their toiling fourteen hours a day, of their children growing pale with hunger and fatigue, of their capital yielding no profit, of their rivals on the continent driving them out of foreign markets,—it would indeed be strange, we say, if, having discovered that the landowners were the cause of all these evils, they should hesitate as to the steps which should be taken to restore their prosperity. Fortu• nate may the monopolists consider themselves if they succeed in making any terms with the people which shall humour their selfish appre hensions. We see that it is one of the prin ciples adopted by the Central Anti• Corn Law Society, to proceed gradually, though with a view to the total abolition of the Corn Laws ; but how long they may adhere to this sentiment it is impossible to say, and we would advise the squirearchy to take advan tage of their present conciliatory disposition. .f the cry be once raised for immediate aboli- tion, we would not, in the event of their re sistance, give two years' purchase for their interest in their estates. Brussels and German papers have been re ceived this morning, but their contents are of little importance. 1.- I • cmcv.s OF STOCKS THI . flank Stccg 213 141 1 per Cent.

A Jamaica mail has arrived this morning, brought by the Pandora—sailed on the 22d of December. The following was posted at the North and South American Coffeehouse: " Falmouth, Jan. 21. " The Pandora packet arrived this morning from Jamaica, only twenty days from Crooked Island, and only nine weeks and five days on her voyage altogether. She brings no news— four passengers, and 150,000 dollars for merchants' account." (From the Jamaica Papers, received at the above Coffee-house, of Dec. 14. The House of Assembly closed its labours on Thursday, and was prorogued by his Excellency the Governor until the 7th of January next, in a speech of some length, and of a most satis factory character. By the second paragraph in his speech it will be seen that the Legislature will have a future, and we anticipate no distant opportunity of reconsidering whatever has now remained undone. The time, too, is fixed, when answers to these communi cations shall have been received from the mother country. The part, however, of his Excellency's address which gives us most pleasure in the perusal, is that which refers to the system to which we have been, and are, so much opposed. It evidently came from the heart, and it goes to the heart of every one, making that of the philanthropist thrill with secret joy. " Slavery," says Lord Mulgrave, " that greatest curse that can afflict the social system, has now received its death-blow,"---has received that mortal stab which in common with others we have laboured partly to inflict; and the satis faction we now feel is only abated by the conviction, that the monster is yet destined to exist a few short months, and may, under another name, afflict our country during the existence of the apprenticeship. Lord Mulgravelias well said, it has long been evident that the protracted continuance of slavery could only lead to the dissolution of that society, the powers of which were paralyzed by its baneful effects; but we return to his Excellency's speech, and particularly the declaration contained in it, that there is no determination that could be hailed with greater satisfaction by the British Government and people than that of diminish ing or abrogating the term of the apprenticeship, and no one who would rejoice more than himself at the last traces being utterly effaced of that state of things of which he has personally witnessed the inseparable evils. Well will it be for the mana gers of slaves if they attend to the %aiming which his Lordship has deemed it necessary to reiterate. (From the Jamaica Papers of the 21st of December.) We have received the Bahama Papers to. the 7th instant. The Bill to relieve his Majesty's free-coloured and black sub jects of the Bahama Islands from civil disabilities, which passed the House of Assembly on the 18th of September, has been published. The House of Assembly was then prorogued. THE FUNDS. Our priority of intelligence enabled us yesterday to announce that Zea Bermudez, Prime Minister of Spain, had been obliged to go out of the Ministry. This important event is confirmed this morning by the express from Paris, and it is the general opinion of the well-informed it will prevent a new revolution, in the Peninsula, as the Queen's party and the Constitutional ists will now unite. The other information from Spain at pre. sent is of minor importance.

The cause of Mr. Bunn's sudden departure to Brighton was the refusal of' the Vice-Cham berlain to license the new play at Drury Lane. The lessee was closetted for some time with his Lordship, but we have not heard the result. SCENE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DE PUTIES. Fulchiron made a report to the Chamber on a petition from a student in theology, named Hamel, who demanded that the Royal roads should be planted on each side with trees—(Laughter)—tbat all the priests of the Catholic religion in France should immediately get married —(lncreased laughter)—and that the said priests should each have an annual income of I,ooof.—(The laughter ceased.) LONDON CORPORATION COMMISSION.- The Commissioners met'yesterday, but did not sit long. Nothing of the least importance occurred. They will not sit again until to-morrow, as the inquiry at length is drawing to a close. COURTM A RTI AL ON CAPTAIN WATHEN.- The Court did not remain long in consultation after the conclusion of Lord Brudenell's rejoinder—thirty or forty minutes, we hear; immediately after which the result was communicated to the Commander-in•Chtef in Dublin, to be by him transmitted to the Horse-Guards.— Cork Reporter. A letter, of the 9th inst., from Venice, states that there is great competition betwern the Austrians of Trieste and the English rrivtbants established in the lonian Islands, in the sale of arms and ammunition to the Alba nians. The shipments are made to the small towns of Preveda, in the bay of Arta, whence they are distributed in the country. The Belgian resident Minister is expected to arrive in Fitzroy•square to-morrow from Brussels. The sum of 80,000 francs has just been voted for the ex• penses of his Excellency's Legation here by the Chamber of Representatives. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(TUIS DAY.) KING. V. HAMLET The AITORNEY-GENERAL moved that his Lordship would be pleased to stay his judgment with respect to dissolving the injunction until an application could be made on the part of the plaintiff; that it should be dissolved on certain terms only. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that he had made it part of his judgment that the injunction should be di3solved, there fore the Learned Counsell'or's application caine too late. the only point that noW remained fOr consideration was whether Han'ilet ought to be allowed to take the money out of Court that had been paid in without some consideration on his part, otherwise he would be put into a better situation by his suit than he otherwise would have been, because his original bargain was not for cash but on credit. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the truth was it had been de termined to appeal to the House of Lords. The Loan CHANCELLOR could not comply with the present motion except by consent. LORD PORTARLINGTON V. GRAHAM. Mr. KNIGHT replied in this case, and his Lordship directed that both parties should furnish him with affidavits. Ile was very much disposed to think that the money iii question ought to be brought into Court, as the price of continuing the injunc tion, but he would consider it. MUSE V. BELL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for an interim order, to prevent the defendant from doing anything until he had an opportunity of moving for a special injunction. Mr. PEPYS opposed the application. He had no objection to the motion being made in this case whenever the Attorney. General pleased. The AT CORNET-GENERAL said that he had permitted his turn to pass by for the accommodation of his friends on the other sile, for nearly thelast ten days. He had thought right to make it today, but he had given way to another motion coming on which had been specially appointed. Mr. PEPIN said, that by way of preventing further discussion he would undertake that nothing should be done; and here the matter rested. LORD RIPON V. HOBART. Mr. PEPYS moved for an injunction to restrain the defen dants from erecting steam.engines for the purpose of draining their lands in the fens of Lincolnshire into the river Witham, the custom hitherto having been to drain those lands by wind mills, and by which, it was contended, the defendants would damage the banks of the river, and inundate the adjacent fen lands in times of floods, by the additional quantity of water they would be enabled to throw into the river beyond that which the wind-mills permitted. The motion was brought before his Lordship, in the shape of an appeal motion from the judgment of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, who refused the injunction just before the Christmas vacation. The mo tion occupied three days before his Honour, and is likely to occupy as many days before his Lordship. VICE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took motions to-day. BROWN V. LORD GRANVILLE. This case came before the Court to-day upon motion, for the dissolution of an injunction obtained by the plaintiff against Lord Granville, restraining his Lordship from opening cer tain shafts and mines on the lands of the plaintiff in Stafford shire. The questions in the case depended chiefly upon the custom of the county. Sir EDWARD SIJGDEN and Mr. NORTON appeared as Counsel for the defendant, and Mr. BAGSIIAWE on behalf of the plaintiff. The COURT, after hearing arguments at some length, ordered the injunction to be dissolved with costs. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(TIIIS DAY.) THE KING V. JOHN BENJAMIN BROOKS, The defendant, who kept a bookseller's and print shop in New Bond.strect, was some time ago convicted of selling ob scene and indecent books and prints. This morning Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of the prosecution, which was at the insti gation t?f the Society for the of tice, prayed the judgirient of the Court. The defendant, Who was in a state of great debility arising from illness and a lengthened imprisonment in Newgate, was led into Court, and accommodated with a seat. On behalf of the prosecution several affidavits were put in, from which it appeared that a number of obscene books and prints of a most infamous description were purchased of the defendant in the year 1829 by one of the Society's officers, and that he was then prosecuted and convicted, but in consequence of his pledging himself to give up such an infamous traffic, he was placed under recognizances of 1001. to appear to receive judgment when required; he however continued the same trade, neglected to cOnie up to receive judgment when re quired, and forfeited his recognizances. Last year he was again prosecuted, and suffered judgment to go by default, and since June he had been confined in Newgate. Affidavits were then put in on behalf of the defendant, show ing the dangerous state of his health, and that any prolonged imprisonment would probably lead to fatal consequences. The defendant, in his affidavit, expressed great regret at having of fended, stated that he had been already ruined in his circum stances by the present prosecution and the estreating his former recognizances, and offered to give up the whole of his remain ing stock in trade. Mr. POLLOCK was about to address the Court, when Their LORDSHIPS intimated a hope that the defendant would discontinue such a trade, and thought that, after so long an imprisonment, which had seriously affected his health, he would give up all the stock to be destroyed. It was at last ordered that, upon the stock being given up, the defendant should enter into recognizances not to offend again, or to appear and receive judgment. Under those condi tions, the judgment was respite& COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) JOIINSON V. WILSON This was an action tried before the Under-Sheriff of Middle sex, in which the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for V. On a former day Mr. Stammers obtained a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the plaintiff appeared only as an agent in the transaction but had sued as a principal. Mr. RICHARDS this morning appeared to show cause against the rule, but objected that it had been drawn up without any affidavit having been filed. The COURT inquired of Mr. Stammers how he had pursued such an irregular course ? Mr. STAMMERS said the notes of the trial taken by the Under-Sheriff had been sent to Lord Lyndhurst before the motion had been made. Mr. Baron BAYLEY said that might be, but Lord Lyndhurst was not then there—besides it was a most improper practice to send any papers to a Judge connected with a cause that was to come before him. Mr. STAMMERS said he had gone, as he thought, according to the Statute—he took the Under-Sheriff to be the represent ative of a Judge of that Court, who, in the case of a motion for a new trial had his notes in court. Mr. Baron BAYLEY—There you are wrong, and you ought to go according to plain common sense. You have drawn up a rule without any grounds except your statements, and there fore it must be discharged. ' . . The Rule was discharged with costs, and leave given to the learned gentleman to make a further application to the Court after the costs had been paid, and the amount of the verdict paid into court.

NELSON. The parties in this case were contractors with the Post master-General, to horse the Royal Mail between London and Stroud, and the bill was filed in order to have the partnership accounts taken under the direction of the Court. It appeared that in January, 1828, Mr. Nelson, the great coach con tractor and a Mr. Cox, the two defendants in the present suit, entered into an agreement by which it was stipulated between them and the Post-office, that they would severally horse the Stroud mail at a certain rate of mileage, &c., in re spective distances, and it was arranged that Nelson should tra verse between Ludgate-hill and Benson, and that Cox, his partner in the concern, should conduct the mail from that town to Chalford, each being only liable to the Post-office for his own default only. Matters proceeded in a regular and satisfac tory manner between the different parties till sometime in the year 1831, when Mr. Nelson gave notice to the Post-office of his determination to horse the mail only between London and Maidenhead ; and upon that occasion the plaintiff Lovegrove, at the suggestion, and it appeared on the recom mendation of Nelson, was adopted by the postmaster into the concern, for the purpose of performing the intermediate distance. He had continued to do so, and had incurred be yond what he received to the extent of nearly 200/., of which the other two partners had enjoyed the benefit. The present bill was filed for the purpose of having the partnership accounts taken, in order that that sum, if it should appear to have been advanced by him, might be refunded. This claim was resisted by Nelson, on the ground that he had settled all accounts ; at all events it was submitted that he could be only jointly liable with the defendant Cox. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. TaFsLorE, for the defendant Cox, stated that Mr. Lovegrove had never, with his knowledge or sanction, been' adopted into the partnership. There might have been a sub contract between him and Nelson, to horse part of his distance, and to that extent to participate in his profits; but the terms of the contract originally entered into with the Postmaster. General, and the reason of the case, gave him no power to assert his claim in that respect against the general concern. He had, in entering into the original agreement with Nelson, done so in the confidence that he would perform the whole dis tance he had undertaken; and when Lovegrove's name had, on two occasions, been introduced as a partner into the share bills, Cox repudiated him altogether, and they were finally adjusted and settled to his entire satisfaction, in that respect. The original contract no doubt gave power to the Postmaster-General, in case any of the subscrib ing parties died or became insolvent, or committed a breach of duty to insist on his dismissal, but before any other indi vidual was appointed, notice was required to be given to the other contracting parties, that they might have the option of performing the duty of the defaulter, or appointing any other person in whom they had confidence to do the work of the party removed. Mr. PEMBERTON, in reply, insisted that the terms of the contract did not render it incumbent on the Postmaster-General to give such a notice to the original contractors when any par ticular party, through default, was dismissed. It was, besides, wholly inconsistent with the uniform practice of the trade pur. sued on all such occasions. Indeed, such a thing, particularly where the long mails were concerned, would be altogether im practicable. The contracting parties were all unknown to each other, and were only individually responsible to the Postmaster. Under the terms of the contract, the Postmaster had certainly a right to appoint a person to do the duty of a defaulter, or a retiring party, without communicating at all with the others. The MASTER of the ROLLS Said this case involved a question of very general importance to the Post-office, with respect to the contracts into which they habitually enter with persons who are employed in the conduct of the mails. There are two questions—Does the contract, according to legal construction, authorize the Postmaster-General, in default of one person, to appoint another, who is to be considered as a partner in the concern as if originally a party to the contract accord ing to the express terms, and has he appointed such a person a partner in this particular instance ? Does the expression of those terms require notice to be given by the Postmaster-General to every other person who is party to the contract originally, or has been subsequently introduced before he can name any other individual as a partner ? Before he can nominate any person as partner, those who are for the time being actual partners have a right to prevent that new appointment by undertaking to perform that part of the c cluty, by the neglect or default of which such authority is given to the Postmaster-General. It being in the option of the existing partners, therefore, to perform the duty before any other can be named to perform it, I am of opinion, that according to the true construction of the contract, notice must be given by the Postmaster-General to every person then in terested in the concern before he make any new appointment. It is extremely important that they should have notice. In the first place, there is a confidence required in the general business of the concern; they are naturally to account for the expenses and for the receipts of the general concern, and they have an obvious interest therefore in the individual to be appointed. There is another reason still more important, the Postmaster-General, by the terms of the contract, it appears, has a right to pay to the person so newly introduced the whole sum that is due to all the other partners in the con cern. Every partner having thus a most material interest in the introduction of each new partner, I am of opinion that there can be no such new partner introduced without notice to all the others who are interested. But though no new partner may be introduced without notice to the others, there may be in this case, as in every other, a waver, on the part of the other partners, of the objection which they were legally entitled to take, and therefore the next consideration in the case is, whether there has really been such a waver of the objection, that due notice had not been given. No waver of that objection is attributed to Mr. Cox. The moment h e was informed that Lovegrove claimed to be a partner, he repudiated him as such, and persevered in his objection, until the end of the concern. But it is said that Cox making this objection, Lovegrove had been introduced by the authority given under the contract to the Postmaster-General. If I had found evidence that he had been so aware, I should have thought he had imposed on him the duty of immediately noti. fying to the Postmaster-General that he was himself ready to undertake the work which had thus been con fided to Lovegrove. Ido not find, however, that such was the fact. On these grounds it does not appear to me that Lovegrove stands here in any relation which entitles him to an account against Mr. Cox. I must therefore dismiss the bill, with costs. Since the last election for East Somerset no less than sixty parishes in this division have been virtually disfranchises!, through non•publication of the list of voters. —Bristol Journal. CHANCELLORSHIP OF OXFORD. Merton College, Jan. 20, 1834.

In making this announcement . , thbv cannot refrain from epm/ling their undiminished confidence in his zeal for the we:fai . a . of the University ; and their deep regret that it must, by his determination, be deprived of the services of one sa eminently (itt ilified for the high office in which it was their wish to see him placed:— " Be good enough to express to those Members of the University, who have kindly co-operated with you in, proposing my name for the Chancellorship of the Uni• versity, my deep sense of the high honour which the public, declaration of their good opinion confers, and my personal, obligations to them fc the cordiAl 1 4 ,,a1 tilith which they . are prepared to exert themselves in promoting my eleci;•oal to that high and most distinguished trust.

They then proceeded to Yester high covert, where a fox was in stantly found, and went away by Hopes to the hill., when he turned short round, down to Yester, through the polich and made a croaked line by Quarryford for Barra cover, which he ran tlrougb, passed Liapluni, and taking a line as if be was going for Coalston, but leaving it to the left, steered his course to Stevenson, and after doubling in these plantations, he crossed the Tyne, in a high floods and made for 13eanstoo, where he was run into, after a long and most brilliant run through very deep' country. They met on the Monday preceding at Poncrig, but not finding, they trod on to Sir David Kinloch's, Kilduff Gorse. After a little delay from the immense extent of whin, Reynard broke cover, to D m Hills, through it and through Byres Hill, by Happerdean, through Alderston grounds, leaving it t'' the left for Trabroun, and on to Gosford, where he we killed in a paddock in the pleasure-grounds, after a smar run, without a check, of at least eight miles. It is rather a curious fact, although not a singular one, that the (sup posed to be) same fox that these hounds had such a sevete run with a few weeks ago, was found a few days after wards at Coalston, when he took over the same country, although in a contrary direction, passing even through the Marquis of Tweeddale's Garden, by Hopes, over the Lam mermuir Hills, in Vie same direction of Lauder, but his french pursuers made him pay the forfeit of his life this time for their trouble. They run him down within a mile or two of Lauder ; the distance, as the Crow flies, from point to point, is at least 15 miles.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE JEWS.—A meeting of the friends of the Society for Promoting Christianity among the J e ws, was held at the Old Ship yesterday, the Marquis of Chol mondeley in the chair. The Rev. Mr. Macaul, a mit• sionary of the London Society, addressed the meeting on the character of the Jews, in which he eulogized their freedom from drunkenness and the like vices; but at the some time he deeply deplored their want of the true know ledge of God through their Saviour. The Jews were considered a sordid, money lending people; such was the character taken from a few straggling Jews with WWI , the people had dealing, but such was not their true cba racter. They were usually well educated men. In point of learning they held a high character among the nations. Their literrettre, which was extensiv.., bore more the marks of sacredness than any other, but they were ignorant of the only thing worth knowing, the knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ. He then went on to state the great learning of the Jews in Poland. where they amounted to two millions and a half of the population, and he also stated their endeavours to convert those people to WO Christian religion. He also stated that their knowledlt of their books of the Talmud, which had no foUndation truth, was unfortunately very great. The Rev, Me. 111 4 Neal addressed the meeting at considerable length, stat ing that the Society had endeavoured to bring the Jews to a true sense of religion ; their present doctrine was bad, " and that of Unitarianism was equally damnable." T. prove the fallacy of their doctrines.he read several extracts from the work of Malmonides and from the Hebrew Prayer 13sok, hich ii- seemed to treat' as poison to the ears of his andi• nce, and therefore on a smile appearing in the faces of the meeting, he reproved them, and told them it w a s not a subject for merriment, but rather for sorrow. He then further addressed them in a very pathetic manner on the misfortunes of the poor Jews, and the meeting after sing iog a hymn in hopes that it might bring them a little nearer salvation, I rake up.—Brighton Guardian. THE FIREBRAND STEAMER.—Extract of a letter loin an officer on board the Firebrand, at Spit. , head, dated Sunday, Jan. 19 :—" Thank God, I am spared to you ; nothing but a miracle has saved us. Our wheels are smashed to atoms, sails blown to pieces, yards sprung, boats stove; in short, Ste are a complete wreck. We left Lisbon yesterday week, under any other prospects, cer tainly, than fair weather. However, the wails were on board, and to sea we went. On Monday it blew a hurri cane, but the wind was fair. We were then half across the B iy. Shortly after one Nat., the starboard-wheel flew to pieces, as did the other on the following day. We were then at the mercy of Providence, and bad the wind shifted to the eastward you would have heard of us no more. How ever, it continued fair, and we were shortening our distance by the help our sails could give us. On Tuesday, at noon, we observed a wreck about two miles to leeward, all her roasts gong, and boats washed away. We hare up, ran under her stern, lowered a boat under a heavy swell, and under all our own mishaps had the happiness of taking twelve unfor tunate wretches out of her. She left Liverpool on the sth I January, laden with salt, for Charleston, and was caught in the gale on the 12th. After having thus preserved the crew we proceeded on our way. On the same evening the gale increased, and no doubt the unfoitunate brig went down. On Thursday we made the land, but the wind was still blowing a hurricane, and the shore was becoming a lee one, and we had only our canvass to beat off with, and the wrecks of two paddle wheels alongside to help us on our way, and, as if the demon of destruction was hovering over us, three sails blew away in less than ten minutes ! We had now but one sail to trust to, but that provides-- tiallyheld on, or we must h ave b een on s h ore . O n t h e morning of Friday we rood in for land again. We passed the Portland Lights at ten the same night, and hove to, with her head off shore, to wait for daylight, having car-1 ried away the foretopsail.yard and jib-boom, and were fast becoming a wreck. However, thanks to God, here we are, having anchored at seven o'clock yesterday evening. The Firebrand, bless her heart, behaved as well as any canvass vessel after her wheels were gone." ANOTHER DISTRESSING AND FATAL SHIPWRECK.—FOURTEEN PERSONS PERISHED._—For some time past it has been currently reported that a smack belonging to Inverness, though having observed a vessel in the greatest distress, not far from the back of Yarmouth Sands, with fourteen persons clinging to her rigging and making signals for assistance, declined to render the slightest aid. This does not appear to be the fact. Un fortunately, it is too true that a barque, apparently foreign, and seemingly about 300 tons burden, was seen to u p s et not far from Yarmouth Sands, and every soul on board perished. The witnesses of this fatal shipwreck were the master, crew, and passengers on board the Inverness and London Shipping Company's smack London, on her last passage homewards, and though only distant about C quarter of a mile from the il -fated barque, such was the violence of the gale and suds the tempestuousness of the sea, which was rolling mountains high; that it was utterly impossible to render the smallest possible assistance, and they had the painful and eistressing sight of witnessing eight of the remaining crow of the barque, who had suc ceeded in getting upon her b o ttom, and were clinging to abyss v h ba e yvses keel,of sweptt w h eh them n n joss .al l(s, ffe t e a ar n na Id t ( I f r n e tg e huel minutes, ppiloeo(ir themfel fellows tremendous wi lia w the eredeeps e see n n to rise on the top of the raging element, but help could n ot be rendered them, and a succeeding mountain wave shrouded them in a watery grave. Such, we are informed, are the particulars of this most fatal and peculiarly dis tressing catastrophe, and we have for our informant an eye witness, who, with every other person on board the simck, viewed in deep sorrow and dismay the sad event. :.3 L
