The''flt,tl — that: pin I)i,, Xavier de Burgos had served under kirg trdieor is tho chef ground of objection to him, for no one doubts his willingness to push reform as far as any of his new col. leaguts, and still fewer question his energy in carrying his purposes into t ff. ct. The Afrancesado interest, however, is now at a discount ; their principles are regarded as inconsistent with sentiments of true p itriotism, and Burgos must therefore retire, to make way for Torreno, but certainly for no one who will be likely to serve his country more efficiently. His retirement is spoken of with universal regret, but. under existing circumstances, it is thought to be unavoidable. It is reported to-oay that the decree for the convocation of the Cortes has already been signed, and there are not a few who profess to give you a synopsis•of the new consti tution. The prevailing idea seems to be, that there will be at least two hou , es or Chambers, if not three, in the new Legislature. One, of course, will he a representative body, not returned, as formerly, by the corporations of towns, but established on a wider electoral basis, the payment of direct taxes being taken, as in France, for the measure of the qualification. It is sup • posed that the bishops will not be content to share their legislative power with the grandees and the rest ef the nobility, but will insist on having a house or ch inihee to themselves, which will vest them, of course, with the a tePdhl proposed theon t or e er r r b o r f a n pronouncing L a e v g e i t s o ia t o u n r e t . h e mss lt ea i, u r s e t representative body is to he limited to 250 menib: rs, and that the Chamber of Peers is to be partly hereditary and partly to consist of members for life. Such are the lead. ing points I have been able to collect.

L IFE of FREDERIC the SECOND, KING of PRUSSIA. !(From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PoaTsaroua H, FEB. 1. —The Marquis of Sligo, Go vernor of Jamaica, accompanied by his private Secretary, Mr. Parker, arrived at the George Inn last evening, for the purpose of embarking in the Blonde, 46, for Jamaica. The Lords of the Admiralty have determined that all the 10 gun brigs shall be, in future, commanded by officers holding the rank of Lieutenant, it is presumed, upon a cal culation of economy, as it appears, that each of this class of vessels will now cost less by 1,6851. tits. sd. per annum, preserving an equal degree of efficiency. It is stated that , here vessels are to replace the Bombay marine. On Sunday his Majesty's ship Undaunted, 46, Captain Edward Harvey, arrived from the East Indies; she left Madras September 30, Trincomalee, October 13. Mau rititoi, November 13, St Helena, December 13, and As cension December 19. She had been eospatched from Madras by Sir John Gore to convey the Governor-General from Calcutta to the former Presidency, and bad proceeded on that service a few days when a pestilential blast passed over the ship, and in a short time one hundred and eight men of her crew were sent to their hammocks, being vio lently attacked with cholera ; the man at the wheel were three times struck down in one night. It was deemed necessary ender the circumstance to abandon the voyage and return to Madras, whence she :was immediately ordered to pro ceed to Trincomalee, and the Mauritius for change of atmosphere. Upon arrival at the latter island she found orders from England to return home. Happily, by taking this course, with the skilful, unceasing attention of the surgeon and his assistant (Messrs. Gibson and Coulter) all the crew survived the attack except eight. Sir John Gore shifted his flag from the Melville, 74, Captain Hart, to the Curacoa, 28, Captain Dunn, in Madras roads, and the former ship proceeded to the Hooghly for the accom modation of the Governor-General in his intended visit t o Madras. The ships on the station were thus employed Melville to Calcutta ; Imogene to Canton ; Alligator to New South Wales ; Wolf in the Straits of Malacca ; Imo gene passed Trincomalee the 9th of October from New South Wales, for Madras ; Curacoa at Madras; Harrier at Trincomalee, refitting ; Hyacinth, from England, on pas sage from Trincomalee. The Wolf was to return shortly to England, calling at the Mauritius. The Talbot, 28, Captain Dickinson, C. 8., left the Mauritius on the 6th of November for the Cape and England. The Trinculo bad sailed from Ascension for the coast to relieve the Curlew. Mr. M`Jennan, surgeon, R.N., and Mr. J. Walkenbury, Master of the Harrier,.catne home in the Undaunted. It was not until the Undaunted approached tire Azores that she met with westerly winds, and thence she experienced a gale, with thick weather and blowing fresh. From this cause, and the unusual operation of the wind upon the tides, in coming in she struck on Selsey Bill, at nine, A at., last Saturday, but swung off with the flood tide. She came into harbour on Thursday to be paid off. We learn by a letter from Madras, dated Oct. 13 (re ceived this morning by the Royal William), that the M elville hail returned there without the Governor-General, la •baving been detained at Calcutta by the arrival of one of the native princes on a visit to him. The Curacoa had consequently sailed on the same service, as the Melville was about to proceed to Bombay for the winter. The Hyacinth had also sailed for Calcutta with despatches. Sir Pulteney Malcolm's squadron continued in Vourla Bay (Smyrna) on the 20th of December, as appears by the following letter which we have received: " Vonar.a. BAY, Dxc. 20.—The ships remaining here are the Britannia (flag-ship), Caledonia,. St. Vincent, Malabar, Talavera, and Alfred, waiting for further orders. The Russians are still hovering about the entrance of the Bosphorus, assigning as a reason a fear to return into their own ports and being blocked up by the ice. The French squadron which had been some time lying here are now nearly all departed for their own ports. The Scylla is gone to Napoli, and from thence proceeds to England, calling at Tripoli. A severe cold, consequent upon the change of season, and usually prevalent at Smyrna at such times, has prevailed throughout the crews of the Bret ; many of the ships have had one hundred on the sick list at a time. Tt e ships detached from the squadron are—Actteoz, al Constantinople; Champion, at Alexan dria; Raleigh, at Corfu ; Scout, at Tripoli ; Madagascar, at Napoli; Barham, at Malta; Pelican, at Gibraltar, Sir Pulteney Malcolm will return to England in the Barbara, 50, Captain Hugh Pigot, when relieved in his command. The whole of the inquiry of Saturday morning related to the double jurisdiction exercised by the City of London and the Surrey Magistrates over the Borough of Southwark. Mr. Corner, an attorney in the Borough Court, brought forward several witnesses to show that this double jurisdiction was the cause of double burdens being imposed on the inhabitants of Southwark; and he put in several extracts front ancient records to prove that Southwark had it one period jurisdictions distinct from the city of but ton. He also handed in petitions (some of which had been presented, and some not) to the Court of Common Council, from the inhabitants of Southwark, praying to become free of the City, and to be represented in its Councils, as be contended they formerly had been. Among the witnesses called the only material one was Mr. W. Jackson, senior attorney in the Borough Court, who pointed out the different boundaries of the Borough manory, and stated that in each of them distinct Court Leets were held in the name of the Lord Mayor, Alder. men, and Commonalty of the City of London. All tines imposed by these Courts went to the City. They were usually imposed on constables refus'ng to serve, and on traders for having false weights and measures. It was by purchase that the City became possessed of these fines. In answer to a question, he stated that he thought it better that the inhabitants of Southwark should be under the sole jurisdiction of the City, in preference to being under also that of the Surrey Magistrates since ttben they would escape in many in stances the double duties now imposed upon them. In case of being relieved from one or either of these jurisdic • tions, he considered the inhabitants would be better pleased, and that it would be better for them to remain under the jurisdiction of the City. His reasons for that opinion, were, locality, and the revenues and privileges that they would derive from the City, which now pays, except a fourth part of it, the expenses of the Sitting Magistrates. It would be better to pay all the City taxes than the county rate alone. Being asked whether, if the Borough should obtain a separate jurisdiction from both the city and county, the inhabitants would bear the expenses of it? be said that was a question for them to decide. It was his opinion that a separate jurisdiction would entail upon them greater expense than if they re mained under the jurisdiction of either London or Surrey. There might arise some benefit to the inhabitants of South wark from possessing a separate and distinct Corporation, hut he could not point out the particular advantage or dis advantage one way or the other. Mr. Corner thought that the county rate alone would cover the expenses of a separate Corporation. He then gave evidence relative to the practices of the Borough Court, hut it did not differ from that given on a former occasion by the High Bailiff. At two o'clock the inquiry was adjourned to Wednesday. By LORD DOVER. " A most delightful and comprehensive work.

By the same Author, Captain French's company of the 85th Regiment, from ibis garrison, arrived at Killaloe on Monday, and Captain St. Quentin's company at Tipperary. same afternoon. A general amnesty in favour of the Cellist insurgents, and the formal acknowledgment of the Queen of Portugal, are also spoken of as among the first sets to be expected from the new Administration. The recognition or Smith American independence would also be well received by the enlightened few, but it would still, among the mass of the nation, be too great a shock for national pride and popular prejudice. As for the acknowledgment to any extent of the bonds of the Cortex, such an act of justice is scarcely to be expected from the new Legislature, not because they would be unwilling to do what is just, but because the smallest sum which the foreign creditors of the nation would accept must far exceed the exhausted resources of the country. The first public act of the new Administration consists in an arrangement which will produce a considerable in. crease to the numerical strength of the army. The decree. which appears in the Gazette of this morning, proceeds on the assumption that such an increase is necessary more and more, to insure the tranquillity which has been happily re-established in almost all the provinces of the kingdom, and thus render impotent the malignant efforts of the Queen's enemies. With these views the Captains. General of provinces and the other military authorities are directed to admit every Spaniard who may seek to enter .he ranks of the army, until the whole of the existing regiments are completed to the full amount authorized by the regulation of the army for its war establishment. The period of service for these new volunteers is to be limited to four years, and each of them is to receive a bounty of 120 reale. The unmarried men in the provincial regiments and the utban militia are to be invited to enter on the same terms and for the same period, with this advantage, that the time they have already served in the urban or provincial corps is to be granted to them in diminution of their four years' of future service. It seems to be expected that the moderate bounty proposed will be sufficient to attract the necessary number of volunteers, but a much larger su►n would be well expended if it made it unneces sary to recur to the cruel system of conscription. In the last article of the decree it is stated, that if the number of Volunteers who present themselves should prove insufficient to raise the army to the complement of the war establish ment, the Queen's Government will then determine what course it may be convenient to pursue in order to supply the deficiency. As yet we have no indication of the spirit in which the new Government is to exercise the unlimited power it pos sesses over the periodical press, but in the present state of the country we can scarcely expect to hear of its making a voluntary holocaust of its authority at the shrine of public freedom. For the present the censorship will be maintained, but its functions will be performed with a sparing and gentle band. Already the journals begin to speak more freely of the sacrifices which the nation had made for a King whom they had identified with their in dependence, and of the promises which that King had made and had so soon forgotten. With the single ex ception of the Estrella, which is supposed to be the pro perty of M. Zea, the papers published in the capital have all spoken out warmly, and no doubt spontaneously, in favour of the changes which have latterly taken place in the Administration. As yet the Estrella has remained silent on the subject, but it would be nut a little edifyin' to witness the rise of a systematic opposition by means of the public press in the capital of Spain against the mea sures of the Government. `•fhe remains of the late Captain James M'lntosh, 92d Highlanders, were interred on Sunday last, with military honours, in the church-yard adjoining the barracks at Fer moy. In token of respect to the memory of departed worth, the officers of all the other regiments in garrison attended the melancholy ceremony. The six service companies of the 76th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, sailed from Cork for Barba does, on Monday, in the Marquis of Huntly and Orestes transports. The depot companies of the 76th Regiment are to re main for the present at Buttevant. Lieutenant O'Grady and a troop of the 4th, or Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, were employed yest.•rday, in the parish of Kildimo, assisting to serve tithe processes, and protect the incumbent's servants from violence. A troop of the 9th Lancers from Gort, and a strong police force, were engaged last week making seizures for tithes in the neighbourhood of Kinvarra, County Galway. Most of the defaulters paid up, and released their goods. Two companies of the 30th Regiment, under Major Tongue, have joined head-quarters at Galway. Captain Thornhill's company, 91st Regiment, is sta tioned.at Mitchelstown. THE GREEK TESTAMENT, with English Note., Critical, Philological, and Exegetical. 2 large vols. Bvo., 365. boards.

Compton, aged 45, landlord of the on Buchers, Brooke's-rna-rket. About 12 months ago the wife of t the deceased died, which had such an e ff ect cn his mind that it was necessary to confine him at the Lunatic Asylum, Brook. green. About a fortnight back he was liberated, but his depressio n of spirits remained. On Thursday morning he plunged head-foremost into a water-butt, and assistanc e did ❑ot arrive for a few minutes. He was then taken out and conveyed to his bed. During the temporary absenc e of hie daughter he swallowed some oxalic acid, which had such an effect upon him that he died in a few hours. Verdict—Temporary InsaniTy." The Talbot arrived at the Cape the 24th November ; the Favourite at Gibraltar January 7. The Scylla left Malta for England January 6. Tile Forester and Brito mart were at Sierra Leone November 21. On Wednesday the wind changed to the north, when about fifty sail of outward-bound ships put to sea, and have continued on their respective voyages, though the wind shifted to the S.S.W. the next day. This morning the wind was S S. E. when several others got under weigh, and will no doubt m ,ke their voyage without any further detention. Among these ate five for Australia, four free traders to India, two for the South Seas, eight for the West Indies, and three for the Mediterranean. The Upton Castle, Dugan, for Bombay, with Major-General Sir John Keane, K. C. 8., Commander of the troops at Bombay, and suite on board, railed this afternoon. The James Pattison, with Governor Sir James Stirling and about one hundred passengers for Western Australia, will sail to_morrow, with all the remaining outward.bound. Vice-Admiral Sir J. Rowley, Bart., K.C.8., having received his final instructions at the Admiralty, and taken leave of the king, returned from Brighton last evening, and re.hoist: d his nag in the Endymion, 50, Captain Sir S. Roberts, aed will sail to.morrow for the Mediterranean, to assume the command. Lieutenant H. B. Young, Mr. J. Napier (master), and Messrs. Willoughby, Veitch, Maxwell, and Daly (midshipmen), took their passage in tie Endymion to itin their respective ships. Upwards of twenty marines also embarked, to supply casualty vacancies in the fleet. The Sparrowhawk, IS, Commander Pearson, is ex pected to sail for the South American station about the 4th inst. The Lightning steam vessel is waiting the ar rival of Lord Howard de Walden, Ambassador to Lisbon, tip convey Jim to the Tagus. The Firefly sailed on Wednesday for Falmouth, to take out a Lisbon mail. The Jupiter troop-ship will be ready to rtceive detachments of troops on board for the Mediterranean on the 6th inst. All the ships proceeding to foreign stations will take out about ten boys, in conformity with the excellent plan lately adopted by the Admiralty of forming these nur series fur topmen in the guardships, and thence transferring them into active ships, to qualify them for their several du ties, These will be supplied by fresh entries into the service. No further indications have yet been given of intention to commission the line of battle ships which have been some weeks progressing from a state of ordinary towards active service, beside a continued desire manifested by the Admiralty at all the dockyards for their being completed or such ultimate object. The Pantaloon, Lieutenant llacres ; Seaflower cutter, Lieut. Morgan; Confiance steamer, Lieut. Waugh, with mails and passengers for Portugal; the Lyra, Lieut. St. John, for Brazil, with mails and passengers; the Royal William steamer, M‘Dougal master; and the City of Edin burgh strainer, Sharp master, with troops for Portugal, and a great number of wind bound ships, all sailed from Fal mouth on 'Tuesday afternoon with a strong northerly breeze. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) His Majesty's sloop Racehorse, IS, was reeomtnissioned on Monday last by Lieutenant J. S. Hand. An order was received at this dock yard on Tuesday last, that the riggers employed on the ships ordered to be prepared for commissioning, are in future to work five days of the week only, instead of six. The Msster of packet boat, from Penzance to Scilly, returned the mails on Monduy, for the thirtieth time, not being able to effect a passage to the islands on account of the severe gales from the S.W.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN.3O.- Thtre has been a changeableness in the cotton-market since our last report, and an improvement in price of per lb. was readily realised on new Boweds. The Surats at auction yesterday sold steadily at previous market prices. The Sea Islands brought fair rates, but did not average for fine marks quite equal to previous sales by private contract. Speculators have taken 1,400 American, and exporters 150 bags. The import this week is 12,723 bags, and the sales are 18,880 bags,—viz., 120 Sea Island, 141(1. to 16d. ; 60 stained ditto, 81d. to 12r. ; 1,730 Boweds, 7Ad. to 91; 4 250 New Orleans, 7 1. to 10(1.; 1,500 Alabama, &c.,7,1. to 91d. ; 930 Pernams, 9 I. to 10id. ; 800 Bahia, 9d. to ; 780 Maranham, 91. to 10id. ; 30 Demerara, 1 lid. ; 400 Surat, to 7ida pfr lb.

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. -- A MAN PORCUPINE !--A middle-aged man, of very athletic and robust form of body, presented himself at the hospital a few days ago, in order to show himself to the surgeons and students of the establishment. He is completely covered with a green horny subs.auce in the form of quills, not dissimilar to those which are produced on the porcupine. The parts which have escaped the d fortuity are his face, the palms of his hands, and soles of his feet ; every other pact of his person is abundantly supplied with this green horny substance. He sheds his horns or quills annually, and a fresh crop succeeds. He has been thus afflicted since his earliest infancy, and all the male mem bers of his family, down from the great grandfather, have been similarly well furnished. His general health is excel lent, and his secretions very regular. A model has been taken of him in one of the Borough hospitals.—London Medical and Surgical Journal. Great activity prevails to improve both Houses of Parliament prep tratory to the ensuing Session. Painters and other workmen have been employed for some time. The floors have been new matted on an improved plan ; by painting the mats underneath the dust is prevented passing through. Instead of the old mode of securing places by Members posting up their names in watered slips, bronze frames have been affixed over the seats, in which cards can be placed. A brass beading ha+ been substituted fur nails in the entire fitting up of the House of Commons, new fringes, and the gilding has been entirely renewed. The arrangement with regard to places does not extend to the Treasury bench. Similar improve ments have taken place in the House of Lords ; the steps of the Throne have been new carpetted, and the whole appearance of the House has been highly improved. Messrs. Telford and Palmer, the engineers, hive arrived at Dover, for the purpose of surveying the harbour, and reporting their opinion on the present state of it, which is so bad that for the last three months it has frequently been impracticable, for a week together, for vessels to enter. This has arisen, it appears, chiefly from the effect produced by the tides and heavy seas on the shingle of which the beach is for the most part composed. The inhabitants of Dover, who feel the great importance to the town of a secure and at all times practicable har bour, are combining zealously in favour of the desired improvement, in which no doubt the local authorities, with the wardens of the Cinque Ports, will give their cordial assistance. A memorial to the Government has been prepared o❑ the subject, and very numerously signe , /. LIVERPOOL, CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN.3I. Ile arrivals coastways and from Ireland since Tuesday coot lio a fair supply of wheat and oats, but thuse of all other articles are light, and we have no grain or flour re cently in from abroad. Without any extraordinary busi ness during the period between Tuesday and to-day, the general currency of our last circular remained stationary. To-day a few parcels of Irish wheat were again taken with a view to hold over, but the millers anticipating further supplies, and a better choice of samples next we,k, were for the most part rather inactive, and on the whole the transactions i❑ this grain were upon a limited scale, with out any determined change in prices. Flour was in moderate request, and fully supported our last quotations. Barley was little inquired after, but, not being plentiful, maintained its late value. Milt was full as dear as on Tuesday, and in the absence of arrivals, ordinary samples have moved off more freely, and the quantity of all descrip tions generally diminishing. Beans and peas, of which the quantity is inconsiderable, supported former prices. The increased supply of oats caused a dull sale this morn ing, and the rates last noted were barely obtainable. Oat meal was also i❑ slow demand, but not lower. The Court of Assizes was occupied the whole of yesterday (Friday) with the trial of the persons charged with fabricating and issuing the Bank of England notes. The pleadings of the counsel for the prisoners, the reply on behalf of the prosecution, and the summing up of the president, concluded at 12 o'clock at night, when the jury retired to consider their verdict, and remained an hour in deliberation. On their return. they pronounced Melignan guilty of fabricating, and Funvielle guilty of knowingly issuing, the forged notes, but acquitted }Pries and Ragon, who were imtnediat-iy discharged. Melignan was sentenced to five years' solitary confinement, and to stand in the pillory, and Fonvielle to five years' imprisonment.—French Papa•. THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE.—We are au thorised to state, that no further impediment has been thrown in the way of The Minister and the Mercer, which has been delayed, on account of its new scenery, until Siturday, when it will positively be produced. Her Majesty honours Drury-lane with her presence en Thurs• d.y next, to see The Wedding Gown, My Neighbour's Wife, and St. George and the Dragon. The Revolt of the Harem, in which Pauline Leroux, Vagon, and other dancers from the Academy Royale, appear, will be produced the day after to-morrow. The obstacle to the representation of Jephta's Vow has been removed, and that Oratorio will be performed at Covent-garden on the 14th instant, when Mr. Braham and Ma dame Feron will make their appearance in it. We men tioned a fortnight ago that Knowles was altering his play of The Beggar's Daughter of Bethnal Green for tie Victoria Theatre. Ile has now completed his alterations, by introducing several new scenes, one of which is or peculiar and strong interest. He has likewise compressed the story into three acts, so that the incidents follow each other with greater rapidity, and the attention is constantly kept alive. He read it on Friday in the Green-room of the Victoria, in the pre-ence not only of the performers, but of his accomplished, beautiful, and warmhearted cousin Mrs. Norton, who came to the The atre for the purpose of hearing it, and of giving Knowles encouragement under his many disappointments. Lord Byron's Sardanapalus has been laid aside at Di ury-Line, at all events until the success of the forthcoming novelties, of French extraotion, has been ascertained. The author ship of The Revolt of the Harem (to be represented at Covent-garden, for the first time, on Wednesday night) we understand to belong very much to Mr. Bunn. The machinery for this fairy Opera is of the most extensive, expensive, and weighty description ; we are told, heavier than any that has been used within metnory. LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY I.—Arrived the Henry and Sarah, from Santa Martha. Arrived yes terday, the Royal William, from Charleston, sailed on the 4th ult. ; Burlington, anti Benjamin Morgan, from Sa• vannah, sailed on the 3d ult. ; William Brown, from Ne , Orleans, sailed on the 23d of December ; Charles Joseph, from New Orleans, sailed on the 25th of December ; Agnes, from Savanilla ; Vine, from the Mauritius, sailed on the 25th of October; Berbice, and Pinter, from lirbice, sailed on the 15th of December; Isabella, and Henrietta, from Demerara ; Temperance, from Jamaica : Grenville, from St. John's, New Brunswick ; and Willie from Konigsberg. The Revista seems to wish to put itself forward as the advocate, if not the organ, of the new Administration. The following passage from the leading article of its last number deserves to be extracted, because the terms in which the new Minister, Martinez de la Rosa, is spoken af seem to find an echo in almost every heart ; " The supreme authority in all its extent is vested in the person of the Queen Regent, in Maria Christina, the widow of our deceased Monarch, and the mother of our innocent Queen. We would not detract in the slightest degree from her sovereign authority, because we know that it is the shield and the safeguard of the Spanish nation ; our wish is that it may sustain itself by those means which were once the centre of the nation's noble pride and the levers of the mighty power of her Kings. It was these means that secured the threatened crown of the first Isabella, and they have still energy enough to save that of Isabella 11., denying it for ever to him who has lost the possibility of deserving it. He has lost his eventual rights by the necessary recognition of those which now exist, and in our mind there is more loyalty in seeking this conservative co-operation than in leaving the Royal authority expo-ed in a state of isolation to the tempests with which it is threatened. " Such is the mission of the Queen Regent, and such are the duties of those who, by her independent choice, have been raised to the rank of her most intimate advisers. There are certain names which need only to be pronounced to open the heatt to universal confidence, such as that of him who, distinguished from his railiest years by his brilliant attainments in literature, rose while yet young to the tribune of our public assembly, to manifest the recti tude of his judgment and the extent of his knowledge—of him who, when thrown upon a barren rock of Africt, knew how to support hie misfortune,' with dignity—of him who shrunk from the popular plaudits with which he was received on his return--of him who, when invested with legislative functions, never sought for vengeance against his enemies—of him who, when rapidly traversing his ministerial career, obtained the respect of foreign Cabinets and the esteem of his countrymen, while he respected himself the Royal autho rity, and caused it to be respected by others.—of him who, in his travels in every part of Europe, collected everywhere evidence of the high consideration in which he was per sonally held,—of him who, on his return to his native country, continued to cultivate with glory that literature which lie never ceased to love,—of him who never sought to arrive at power by means of intrigue, nor to retain it by unworthy means : this is the man who has just been called from his tranquil retirement to occupy one of the highest and most difficult situations in the Governinent. We cannot tell what futurity may have in store for him, but we character — to hsias patriotism li t e ri t o will never er hisbe lietheantecedents o fdisinterestedness. This I Inguage may be imputed, perhaps , t o a spirit of adulation, but no matter: there have been men in power on whom it will be acknowledged that we have lavished w oo , praises,notbegin an n d o i w f ? we T h ah v e e la n n o g t u p a r g a e i• o ed f why should per haps be more popular than that of justice, but for us we repudiate such an odious popularity." A steam-Vat . , called El Bulear, has just been esta• /dished by a Catalonian company to ply once a week be tween Barcelona and the towns of Palma and Port Mahon, in the islands of Majarea and Minorca. She makes her first trip Isom Barcelona on Sunday next, and is dristlibed as a good sea boat, a f as t sa il er , an d as b e i ng p rov id e d with excellent accommodations. She is provided with two engines of 50 hone power each, and it is expected that she will be able to make the trip to Palma or Port Mahon respectively in about sixteen hours. Flom the beginning she is to be intrusted with the carriage of the public mails from the Continent to the Balearic Islands, an example of promptitude in adopting i m proved means of communication which might be conveniently followed by other Governments. The Rev. Dr. Chalmers is recovering from hi 4 severe illness. He was much better on Wednesday. MR.
