THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. There was a better supply of Oats last week than of late, but of other Grain the quantities were again moderate. This morn ing there is another small arrival of all descriptions of Grain. There was very little fine English Wheat at market, and such rather exceeded the terms of last Monday • other qualities, both English and Foreign, meet a slack demand, but are not cheaper. Barley has obtained rather higher prices than on this day se'n night. Beans and Pease have also found ready sale, at a trifling advance in value. Oats being more plentiful, do not sell so freely as of late, but good parcels are not cheaper; Irish samples may be stated rather lower. Flour unaltered. PRICKS ON BOARD OF SNIP.

Sir JAMES SHAW, the new elected Chamber lain of the city of London, had the hon our o f o b taining for his fellow citizens, during his mayoralty in 1805, the King's warrant of precedency within th e wa l ls of his jurisdiction, ov e r every other subject, however elevated his rank. This privilege Sir Isaias exercised at the funeral of Lord NELSON, when he took precedence of his late 11IA. JESTY, then Prince of WALES. In token of this event the Worthy Baronet took for the supporters of his shield, a man (emblematical of fortitude) holding an 'scroll, inscribed " The King's Warrant of Precedency," on the dexter side ; on the sinister, an emblematical figure of the City of London, with hand extended to receive the eecroll—motto, " I mean well." LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. The House eat at ten o 7 cloci — to-7a;;nic:tch Appeals, but nothing of importance took place previous to our reporter leaving. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BOUCIIIER V. FORCE. This was an action on the warranty of a horse. The case occupied the whole morning, and was not concluded when our reporter left the Court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. JONES V. DROWN AND OTIIERS. was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a nail ma nufacturer, residing in Worcester, for the recovery of th e amount of a bill of exchange of 811. 13s. fd. The defendants were chemical and colour-manufacturers, carrying on business at Battersea, and the facts of the case were of rather of a sin gular description. The colour works now in the occupation of the defendants for merly belonged to the uncle of a lady named Foote. Upon his death she became entitled to them, shortly after which she mar ried a gentleman of the name of Condi, a barrister, residing in Manchester. Mr. Condi wished the works to be continued, but iu such a manlier as that it .night not be publicly known that he was connected with any mercantile pursuits, fearing, if it was, no gentleman of the b ar wou ld h o ld a b r i e f with him. For thi s purpose it was arranged that the business should be carried on under the old firm, and that Mrs. Condi should have the ma nagement of it. Mr. Condi went to Manchester, and Mrs. Condi superintended the works at Battersea. This arrangement continued for some period, when Mr. Brown became a partner in the concern. Subsequently to this, Mr. Parkins, who had travelled for the house, drew the bill in question, which was accepted by Mrs. Condi, not as for the firm of Foote and Brown, but in the name of C. Foote and Co. Under these circumstances it was contended, on behalf of the defendant Brown, that he was not liable to the payment of the bill. Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. CHILTON appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. COLTMAN and Mr. TOMLINSON for the de. fend ants. Verdict for the plaintiff. KING'S THEATRE. This theatre opened on Saturday night for the season, with the well-known Barber of Seville, on which occasion a new prim a donna, Madame SIGNL VESPERMANN made her first appearance as Rosina, a part which appears to be a peculiar favourite with debutantes in general. Madame VESPERMANN appears to have chiefly relied for success on the facility of execution which she has acquired by long practice. This power enables her to deal with the music allotted to Rosina in such a manner, that under the fascinating . effects of brilliant execution the defects peculiar to her voice might be more easily concealed. Her voice is a high soprano, reaching from the low F in the lines to the E above them, extending to two octaves, less one note; at least such was the compass it appeared to be limited to on Saturday. To go higher, would indeed be nearly impossible for the voice of any female adult; but similar soprani frequently reach three-notes lower than the low F in the lines. The power of this lady's voice is, so far as we could judge on this occasion (for an apology was made in her behalf, on the score of the effects of severe indispo sition), singularly varittl. 'When she sings in the higher scale, her notes are distinct, and she is able to dwell considerably on the very highest. In the lower scale she is sometimes scarcely au dible, and she avoids sostenuto passages there by an introduction of profuse and even redundant ornament. Of late years no singer has appeared on these boards whose style of singing was as florid as that of Madame VESPERMANN ; even Madame MILLIBRAN, whose great fault is a partiality for excesses of the same descrip tion, is but a plain singer when compared with her. Madame VESPERMANN is apparently not very young ; she is of short sta ture, slender in person, rather graceful in he motions, treading the stage lightly, and not deficient in ease of manner. Her eyes are dark, her features small, and her countenance rather expres sive. She gave the cavatina, Una voca poco fa, not as the com poser thought proper to pen it in his happiest mood, but in a manner so peculiarly her own, that it was with some difficulty the orchestra could keep pace with her. The other characters in the opera were very efficiently sustained by Signor Cilium as the Count Altnaviva, Signor De BEGNIS as Don Bartolo, and Signor LABLACIIE as ligaro. In the ballet we have had no ac cession to its former company to rival the exquisite grace of BRO. CARD. Madame MoNTEssu undoubtedly possesses great merits, but of a different kind. She is essentially a danseuse ; her figure is short, and from the waist upwards uninteresting ; hut her leg, though a little robust, is well formed, with a particularly neat ancle and short well-formed foot. Grace or elegance is, therefore, not her characteristic, but she is full of animation, and executes the most complex movements of the feet with amazing quick ness and beautiful precision. She performed the Sotnnambule remarkably well. Monsieur LEFEBVRE is a person of very high merits in his department. He possesses a finely-formed figure, is, like Madame MONTESSU, exceedingly rapid in his steps, but his general movements are, with the exception of his walk, equally bold and graceful. VICARAGE OF WISBECIL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stit,—Observing in your Paper of Friday evening that the Rev. H. Fardell, son.in-latv to the Bishopof Ely (the Patron), has been presented to the valuable living of Wisbech, I beg to subjoin the following list of pluralities already held by that gentleman :- 1. A Prebend of sly. 2. The Rectory of Bexwell. 3. The Rectory of Feltwell St. Mary. 4. 5. Vicarage of Waterbeach I ! !II In all six appointments. I beg, without comment, to add, that each of these good things is in the gift of his father-in-law, the Bishop; and 1 would ask that Reverend Prelate whether the bestowing of so many sacred appointments, five of them requiring active duty, upon one single individual of his family, has been done in the service of God or Mammon ? Are there no poor Curates in his Lordship's diocese to whom some of these livings might have been appro priately and justly bestowed? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ORTHODOX CLERGYMAN OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Feb. 5, 1831. The rich Vicarage of Wisbech, to which the public attention has of late been so much directed, is at length disposed of to the Rev. Henry Fardell (son-in-law of the Bishop of Ely), Preben dary of Ely, Rector of Feltwell, in Norfolk, and Vicar of Water beach, in Cambridgeshire. The estimated value of the above pre ferment is 5,400/. per annum; but it is said that Mr. Fardell is to resign Feltwell to the Bishop's second son, who is now a Preben dary of Ely, Vicar of Littleport, and Rector of Barley, in Cam bridgeshire. This arrangement, however, it is presumed, cannot be carried into effect without the sanction of the Lord Chancellor, the next presentation to the living of Feltwell being in the Crown. To show the extent to which pluralities and non-residence are carried in the Diocese of Ely, it may be observed that there are twenty-live livings in the Isle of Ely, one of which is of the value of 6,000[. per annum, two of 2,4004 each, four between 1,500/. and ,0004, four between 1,000/..,and 1,500/.,two of 1,0001., two of 8004, one of 500/., and nine under 5004, and in the whole but two resi. dent incumbents !!

The express from Paris brings the appointment of the Duke of Nemours to the throne of Belgium, but the report at Paris was, that he would refuse the acceptance; this report does not correspond with what Van de Weyer stated in the Congress at Brussels—that he had just received official notice of the revoca tion of the refusal of the Duke of Nemours in case he should be chosen Sovereign of Belgium. No doubt in a very short time we shall have some official communication from the French Go_ vcrnment on the above subject.

(From the Stamford News.) A numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Wellingborough was held at the Town Hall on Thursday evening, the 20th of January, 1831, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning for Reform in the Commons House of Parliament. CHARLWS HILL, Esq , opened the proceedings. This gentleman clearly developed the proceedings of the Govern ment during the past fifteen years of peace, which proceed ings had been chiefly directed to the aggrandizement of its agents, and the manifest injury of the country in general : that undue influence had been exercised, contrary to the principles of the Constitution, which say, " that elections shall be free," and " that Peers shall not interfere with elections ;" that bribery and corruption were exercised with unblushing boldness ; that, so far from Peers not in terfering at elections they had had recourse to every act of tyranny and oppression which hun'an ingenuity and wickedness could devise, b) prevent the elective franchise being honestly and freely exercised; that the Duke of Newcastle and the Marquis of Exeter had, at the last election, acted a conspicuous part, in their cruel and re lentless conduct towards every individual within their grasp who dared to exercise their constitutional rights and privileges ; and that, in order to get rid of these glaring abuses, he would recommend the vote by ballot—(Laud cheers)—which would, in his opinion, establish the House of Commons in its independence, restore to the country those rights and privileges which, as a great nation, in its commercial, its agricultural, and its maritime importance, it was entitled to enjoy. In France, the ballot had been introduced,. where the King dismissed the Chamber of Deputies, and sent them back to the people. Those people returned the same members imbibing similar views, and at length the memorable revolution of July, 1830, ensued as the consequence, and this (said Mr. Hill) should be a lesson to the ruling powers of this country. After Mr. Hill had concluded a powerful appeal to the most numerous meeting ever assembled in that place, a petition, embracing the vote by ballot, was read. Mr. C. CURTIS, ill rising to propose that the petition then read be adopted as the petition of the meeting, said, as their Chairman had observed, Ib6 Peers or wealthy Commoners and an Indian Nabob possessed the power of returning a majority of its members ; therefore any per son would have some difficulty to persuade him (Mr. C.) that "it worked well, and needed no alteration." If it did work well, it could only be for those who had the power of bartering away the interests of the nation for their own private gain. If the meeting considered the subject as it referred either to the electors or the elected, corruption the most glaring met them in every point of view. What greater evil could happen to a town than to have what is improperly called the privilege of return ing a member or members to Parliament under the pre sent system? What scenes of drunkenness, riot, and disorder, were the usual consequences of all such con tested elections? If our present Administration were to devise a system ever so perfect, if some means were not used to work a Reform out of Parliament as well as in Parliament, it would soon become another dead letter on our statute book, and every alteration would become fruitless and ineffectual. He could not, he said, help congratulating the friends of Reform upon the very great accessions that each succeeding day brought to their numbers. The subject seemed to be thought of more importance than it used to be. What a manifest alteration, for instance, has taken place even in this town. This, he believed, was the first meeting ever held in Wel lingborough, and this the first petition ever presented by its inhabitants, on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. Many of the gentlemen he now had the honour of address ing well remembered the terror that the bare announce ment, about sixteen years ago, of a meeting similar to this created in the minds of the more timid, who instantly swore the peace against those that promoted it, and a troop of yeomanry was called out to prevent the reformers (then called radicals) from committing that unpardonable sin, the petitioning of Parliament for a restoration of their just rights and privileges. But such is the alteration effected by time and circumstance, that some of those who were the most forward to prevent are now the first to promote it. The great body of reformers have proved that their object was not anarchy, war, and confusion, but " peace, retrenchment, and reform."--(Cheering.) A. SHARMAN, Esq., in rising to second the motion that the petition then read be received and adopted, in a very forcible manlier urged upon the meeting the importance of petitioning for the introduction of voting by ballot— (Cheering)—as calculated, in his opinion, to be the only effectual means of putting a stop to those disgraceful acts of bribery and corruption so usually practised at all con tested elections. Mr. THOMAS CLEAVER, in supporting a vote of thanks to the Chairman, could not let pass the opportunity of tes tifying his approbation of the object for which this meeting had been convened. One of the many evils attendant upon the present system was that although many of our nobility were feeding upon the very vitals of the country in their own lifetime, by the law of primogeniture, the greatest portion of their property descended to the eldest son, while all the rest of the family were generally left un provided for, and consequently were pensioned upon the public as State panpers. Three times three cheers were then given to the Chair man,who returned thanks, and the meeting was dissolved. It gives us unfeigned pleasure to be able to repeat our favourable report of their MAJESTIES' health ; that of the other branchss of the Royal Family (with the exception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who has been confined to the Pavilion for the last few days, but is now convalescent) remains uninterruptedly good.— Windsor Express. s The report that their MAJESTIES intend visiting the Sister Kingdom early in th e ensu i ng summer is with ou t foundation : such a project is quite incompatible with the arrangements already made for St. James's.— Windsor Express. _ The four principal contributors to the Edin burgh Review are now all Senators —Lord Bitoucuam and Vaux, in the Upper House ; and Sir JAMES MAC KINTosir and Messrs.

Mountains and crags are Freedom's citadels : Which never harbour'd yet a human slave, Where never tyrant climb'd but found his grave! Bulwarks of Nature are they where she dwells, And only her eternal gates doth throw Open to freemen struggling 'gainst their foe When all is lost but courage and despair! And it may be her will to show him there Her lessons of resistance; that stern will— And pride whose base is honour—and the sense Of inward duty and selfzeverence— Stand like her oaks, though rent, unstooping still ! But shall man trust in rocks and hide behind Nature's defences when he should come forth, Strong in his country's hopes and native worth, Scattering his foes as chaff before the wind ? No—let him rather gallantly confide On that fix'd bulwark—the unconquer'd soul! , The soldier's confidence is in his pride : And who e'er saw in flight the fiery Pole? This is your trust—and not in crag nor glen; But like old Sparta with her wall of men Ye call on open Nature and on Heaven To see ye guard the blessings they have given 1 And oh! forget not though of later date, How Saragossa conquer'd even her fate. War rent her streets asunder, crushing round As from a whirlwind—fire upheav'd the ground With an earthquake revulsion—one by one Her ruins fell—pale Famine in her den Gorg'd her own life—diseases rack'd—yet then Their frantic struggles only were begun! It was a strife of mortal agony : Such are the sacrifices that atone, And purify those souls that will not die! Had she not done this she had been unknown : What bath she now gain'd 7—a deep memory, As everlasting as the solid earth. Their bones are dried, their names and homes forgot, And yet how blest and envied is their lot! What reeks it now their life or place of birth ? They are immortal, rais'd among the just : Virtue, like God, re-animates the dust Unfold voua records—what have ye to tell ? Why your great Ancestry have actions done To which these melt as shadows in the sun ! What is a city storm'd but unsubdued ? " A debt immense of endless gratitude". The West doth owe ye—they reward you well! Tell them that when the conquering Infidel On Austria's fields a wasting whirlwind came— When weaken'd with her petty feuds, she clos'd Her gates in terror, and none interpos'd To save her life, and faith, and very name, Then young in vigour, flush'd with martial wrath, Alone great SOBIESKI dar'd stand forth The forlorn hope of Europe! who look'd on, Listening the dreadful onset : who knows not The martial deeds the fiery Pole hath wrought ? Morn saw the fight, and day the battle won ! In dust the Paynim's power for ever hurled, And Poland hail'd the saviour of the world! • Milton. COURT CIRCULAR. The Ball given to the juvenile branches of the nobility and gentry by their Majesties, at their Palace at Brighton, on Thurs day evening, was attended by about 400, between the ages of four and fifteen. The company assembled at seven o'clock. Prince George of Cumberland began the quadrilles with the younger Miss Boyle for his partner; the grace and elegance of the young Prince's demeanour were particularly admired. Prince George of Cambridge had for his partner, in the first quadrille, Miss C. Haines. The two Princes afterwards danced with Miss Lush ington, the two Misses Wigram, and the three Misses Otway. The young Duke of Roxburgh was among the party. At eleven o'clock supper was served to the juveniles ; dancing was afterwards resumed, and was kept up till past twelve o'clock. The Duke of Cumberland left town about eleven o'clock on Saturday morning on a visit to their Majesties at their Palace at Brighton. _ _ Ilivine service was performed yesterday morning before the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and their Royal High nesses' Household, in their private apartments, at the King's Palace, at Kensington, by Archdeacon Potts.

PROJECTED MARRIAGE DETWILEN THE GRAND DUCHESS of RUSSIA and the Duke of ORLEANS. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Such is the momentous intelligence which we have to commu nicate—such the love of liberal institutions on the part of the citizen King—such his anxiety to secure the throne of France to himself and his successors, by an alliance with a powerful family —such his imitation of ie conduct of the man, whose son and nephew he dreads as neighbours, quite as much as Napoleon ever dreaded the Duc d'Eughien or any portion of the exiled Royal Family of France! liut to come to facts, which are exclusively in our possession, and a knowledge of which we derive from a source on which we place the utmost reliance. The mission of the Duke de Montempt, it seems, did not wholly relate to Poland; or rather, to Speak properly, Poland formed no part of his negociatiOns, except in a secondary point of view. His mission was to demand from the Emperor Nicholas the hand of the young Grand Duchess, only thirteen years of age, for his Royal Highness tits Duke of Orleans, son of the citizen King; On this ground the indiarence which the Government of the King of France has manifested towards the.peopla of Belgium and Poland is easily explained. He has been looking more to the ac complishment of hts own wishes, than to those of the people who have placed him on the throne; and, in consequence, no deci sive step has been taken in favour of either. M. Pozzo di Borgo, adds our correspondent, whose diplomatic talents are well known, supports, by every means in his power, the projected alliance, of which the successful issue would canter upon him an influence at Paris, as a family ambassador, of which hitherto he has only enjoyed a part, and that part the mere reward of his talents. The affair which we now ineution—all secret and unknown as its authors imagine it—has got wind among some Members of the Chamber of Deputies; and some of those who belong to the left, and who see in this projected alliance with the Autocrat of Russia the complete overthrow of all the liberal promises which were made in July, are determined to make the matter public in the tribune—.a result which the intrigue: and caresses of the Citizen King have only hitherto prevented, We shall not add a word to the almvo intelligence. The ten dency of it will be easily understood by our readers as well as by the people of France ; Unit we cannot help remarking that it fur nishes a convincing proof of the bad faith which we lately began to eliseuver iu the proceedings of the Government of Vranee, and lu our opinion, if it be worth any th ing, a sea worn of the down fall of the nascent Orleans dynasty, SIR ROBERT WIGRAM, BARONET.—.,The will of the deceased 'Baronet has been proved in Doctors' Commons, and probate granted for lour hundred thou rind pounds, personal property, besides freehold estates.

The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, not withstanding reports to the contrary, has not entirely re linquished the idea of purchasing Buckingham Palace front the Crown. A few years ago_ the- Noble Duke expended, in decorating and furnishing his mansion at Charing-cross, upwards of 200,0001. ; and it is now perhaps the best_ appointed house in London. It is the recollection of this recent cost that is the stumbling-,block witit his Grace, and occasions him to pause before he enters upon so large a speculation as Buckingham Palace must necessarily be ; although the ground at Charing-cress would he most ad vantageously appropriated, were Northumberland-lionse, and its extensive contiguous buildings, to be taken down. court Journal. The Duke of BEDFORD'S property in the parish of Bloomsbury is daily increasing in value. A new square, parallel with Torrington-square, is now in pro.. green of coinpletion. It is to be named Rothsay-squate. This is the only portion of the Duke's property in the parish as yet uncovered with houses. It is, perhaps, worthy of remaik, to show with bow much opposition all innovations are met, to state that iu 1755, when it was first contemplated to form the new read from the city to Paddington, the then Duke of Ideoemin opposed it in Parliament, on the ground that it was likely to deteriorate his property. It has increased its value almost fifty-fold. The .Act won, 26 guns, Captain the Hon. W. F. Gagy, was launched on Monday last from tliim dock yard. The ship went off at half-past one in fine style, amidst the reiterated cheers of the spectators on shore and seamen ou board, while tke bands were pLsying the mi. tional airs. The dletceon was constructed and built under the direction of the School of Naval Architecture, and is considered by all naval men here as a very beautiful and effective ship. Several experiments are to be tried on board the Acttson; a new rudder, by Cipt. LIHOU;; the light ning conductors, by Mr. HARRIS; and a new windlass, invented by Mr. PEARCE, master of the Ganges. Captain LIHOU'S rudder is fitted on a plan strikingly superior to the old mode; it possesses the advantage of easier steerage, and a reduction of the back-water—objects tending to in crease the ivelocity of sailing. Its utility also consists in giving a ship the means within herself of repairing 'and re-shipping her rudder, in case of damage, with the great est facility, under any circumstances at sea, or on a fnreign coast where resources are not at hand. The necessity to dock or heave down a ship to clear the gougings of the broken rudder-irons is totally removed by this mode of fit ting, which has been most highly reported on in a survey held by order of the Lords of the Admiralty by a com mittee of naval officers at Woolwich, on the Raleigh, similarly fitted; and would have proved of material service recently, when the Barham amid Winchester, two flag ships, on the West India station, and the Opossum packet, with mails and treasures on hoard, lost their rudders. Captain Limy, of the Royal Navy, the inventor of this important improvement, is fitting the Vindictive, a cut down 74, and several other ships at the various sea-ports . of the kingdom. The lightning conductors, as fitted on Mr. Haeatis's plan, are formed by two laminae of copper, made to overlap each other, so as to form one continuous line of metal from the spindle of the vane to the step of the mast, where it is made to intersect, with another line of metal communicating with the keelson bolts; and that there may be a suffieient communication with the masts and the sea to ensure the electrical fiuid's being carried quietly off, in the event of the ships being struck, th ere is a lin e o f me t a l f rom t h e mas t p ar t ners in the sid e at each mast, which communicates to the bolts of one of the iron knees, and others that are driven for the purpose ; from the bowsprit the metal is continued front the bed to the sea, down the stein, and from the mizen mast tinder the deck, down the stern post. The advantage of conductors being fitted in this mlnner is evident, from the impossi bilitye w possibility stance,indla o a o t f i to y hAf a ti rn. r j! a ul n re g yz ;ein, to e izo t takingsan appears, eul e%avtrastyh, place, ea prepa r ed , cfi ourlid u i n nto d g e trtho weanywithout c o.o i up r t c i n u Tti m ohh nee ss of the most experienced seamen, to offer many advantages. This windlass has two barrels, which are easily thrown iu and out of geer, as circumstances may require. The bar rels are worked by a bevel wheel, that communicates with the spindle of a capstan us the lower deck, so that the barrels may be worked singly or together, and by which one cable may be hove in, the other wore; at the same time it saves all the men at the nippeirs, while those em ployed are entirely out of the way of fighting the guns or working the ship....Eutapshire Telegraph.
