COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS. Last night the first Evening Meeting s for the season 1630, of the Members of the Royal College of Physicians took ptace. The spacious Hall bf the College in Pall-mall East was brilliantly illuminated, and, at half-past nine o'clock, was crowded to the doer by the principal members of the profession in the metropolis, and their friends. in a short time Sir Henry Raiford, Bart., the Pretident of the College, in full dress, with star, eso,, entered, and made way through the crowd for his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Right Roo. the Lord Chancellor, hie Grace the Archbishop of York, Lord Tenterden, Earl Westmoreland, Eati Stanhope, Mr. Baron Vaughan, Sir George Staunton, tart., Sir James Itl‘Gregor, Ste. Sir IlEtza'st HALFORD having taken the Chair, sup ported by the Noblemen whose names we have just men tioned, proceeded to inform the company that statistical returns of disease in the lonian Isles, Malta, Gibraltar, Canada, &c., had been received, and, through the kind ness of the Secretaries of State for Foreign Affairs and the Colonies, these returns would be submitted to the mem bers of the profession. It was gratifying to know that these returns bore out the opinions previously entertained by the College. 'The Perm :Arm. theta cleimed the attention of the audi ence, and read a communication written by himsel.f, It was on that remarkable "lighting up" of the mind evinced by some patients labouring ender what was de signated by Hippocrates the horning fever, and amongst ourselves the brain fever, immediately before the ap proach of death. Sir Renry Halford based his de ductions on the doctrines of Areteus, and observed that in many instances where the patient had previ ously been altogether uncontrollable a few hours before steak this brightening up of the mind approached nearly to prophesy; hence the very commonly received opinion that Flying persons frequently have given to them a power of foretelling future events. In support of his theory Sir Henry brought forward Sophocles, Homer, Virgil, Milton, and last, though not least, Shakspeare, who frequently as signed the gift of prophesy to the dying. The author made frequent and happy quotations from the ancient writers above named, and the paper altogether was exceedingly well received. On the various tables of the Hall lay a collection of rare and curious works in literature, and many anatomical cu riosities. Amongst the latter was the perfect head of a New Zealand Chief, tattooed, with the natural hair, teeth, eyes, muscles, &c., all in the most beautiful state of dried preservation.—The meeting soon afterwards adjourned. LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, JAN. I'7. ha Friday the 15th instant the Foreign Ministers, re sident in Lisbon, the Grandees of the kingdom, and a vast number of persons of all classes, went to the Palace of Quelus to pay their respects to his Majesty, and testify the grief which is universally felt on account of the death of her Majesty the Empress Queen, and his august mother, whom God has called to his glory: the countenances of all were visibly impressed with the grief caused by so un happy an event, and which has filled the hearts of the King, our Sovereign, and of their Highnesses the In !antes, with the most lively grief for the loss of a tender mother, who was a model of manly heroism, and of Christian virtue. JAN. 20.—The Gazette of to-day contains an official notice from the Commissioners of the Royal Loans, an nouncing that on the 19th instant, in the presence of the Conde tie Lousa D. Diego, Minister of Finance, and President of their Board, the balance sheet of the rescript and expenditure of the last half year having been signed, they proceeded to the annihilation of paper to the amount of 324,906,275 reas. JAN. 21.—The Gazette of to-day contains a similar notice of the annihilation of the sum of 20,400 milreas of the bonds of the loan, 2,400 contos of real made by the Bank of Lisbon in 1826, being part of the 4,000 contos decreed by the law of 31st March, 1826, which bonds re main preserved in the coffers of the board, according to the third article of the said law. OTORTO, JAN. 15. We have had intense cold in this city for above a month, with very mild days; we learn too, that the cold has been excessive all over the kingdom, chiefly in the north, whore it had done much injury to the gardens, ',kr. The snow has been abundant, and this morning the roofs and the ground in this city were covered with boar frost, a thing we have not seen for many years ; the weather, however, remains to-day. The letters from Coina do Douro, say the cold was ex reesive there last month ; the small rivers being frozen as well as the sides of the Douro, so that it was necessary for the navigation of the boats to send men before to break the ice. Many of the fish called mullets were found dead among the ice, others half dead, an extraordinary occurrence in that country. The letters from all other parts of the provinces give similar accounts of the cold and its destructive effects. TRIESTE, JAN- 25. It is said that some bankers here and at Venice, in con junction with a Neapolitan house, are negociating a loan as is suppo,ed for the Court at Naples. The inhabitant, of Venice have resolved to testify their gratitude to the Emperor, for granting to Venice the privileges of a free port, by erecting a statue to his Majesty, 70,000 florins con vention money are assigned for this purpose. Our ac counts from Greece are to the beginning of this month ; the party of Count Capo d'istria expects from London the notice of the choice of a King, and seems not to feel much interest in it, as in the present uncertainty respect ing the definitive fate of Greece the situation of the Pre sident is not very agreeable, and he has himself repeatedly expressed his warmest wish to see matters soon settled in one way or another. Letters from Egypt say, that the negotiations between Mehemet Ali and the French Commissioners had been broken off, in consequence of a letter frorr.Count Guilleminot brought by a courier from Constantinople. It was thought that the French Government was disposed to settle its dispute with Algiers alone and did not want any co-operation from Egypt. The negotiations respecting Egyptian auxiliary troops were, in fact, commenced under the Martignac Administration, and have been prosecuted with lukewarm ness by the present Ministry, because dissatisfaction is said to have been expressed at London on the subject, and public opinion in France appears to be averse to it. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London Nov ?Hee Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades last week was Checked by several arrivals from the Mauritius, and by two of the cargoes being brought forward to public sale, and which proved to be of excellent quality, the Sugars evi dently much improved in point of colour and of strength. The estimated sales of West India Sugars last week were 2,000 hhds. and trcs. The stock of Muscovades is 2,460 hhds. and trcs. less than last year; the stock of Mau ritius is 9,751 bags more.

The Sugar Market to-day is still affected by the Mauritius arrivals, nearly 15,000 bags are adver tised for public sale this week. At the close of the market the estimated sales of Muscovades this day were SOO hhds. and trcs., including the Barbadoes public sale. Notwith standing the severe frost last week, the demand for Refined both for export and home consumption, continued con siderable, the low goods were without variation, the fine were rather higher; several purchases of crushed for the 'Mediterranean were reported; the fine Hamburg and Powder Loaves for the double bounty were Is. higher.

The Lords present were the LOAD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ELnorr, Lords ROSLYN, JERSEY, and STRAD BROOM STEWART V. FULLARTON. This case came before their Lordships, upon appeal from the Court of Session, the question in which relates to a deed of entail executed by a gentleman of the name of Murray, of Blackburrow. The case involved many points of dry Scotch law, possessing not the slightest public inte rest. The SOLICITOR.GEIIERAL was addressing the House on the part of the appellants when we left. ROLLS COURT. The AfASTER of the Rorts took causes to-day, none of which possessed the slightest public importance. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court took pleas, demurrers, exceptions, and for :her directions to-day. MACKWORTR V. MARSHALL. The bill in this cage was filed by the plaintiff, a son of Sir Dighy Mackworth, the banker, against the defendant, for a discovery as to certain acceptances, which the plain tiff alleged had been obtained from him by the defendant under false pretences. About six. months ago, the plaintiff, a young man, 23 years of age, returned from Oxford, where, though liberally supplied with every thing by his father, he had created several debts. On his arrival in London, being in want of money, his attention was attracted by an adver tiwement in the Times newspaper, from parties professing to lend money, and after several negociations with a per son of the name of Burn, he was introduced to the de fendant Marshall, to whom he gave several blank accep tances, some of which were afterwards filled up by Mar shall for large amounts, and nsgociated. To the bill which asked a discovery as to those acceptances, the de fendant had put in a plea, alleging that as he had become a bankrupt he could not be made a party to the suit, nor could he be called upon to give any account of the ac ceptances. Mr. RUSSELL appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. WAxerrecn for the defendant. The FILE-CliwricELLoft considered this a most grass and fraudulent transaction, and ordered the plea to be overruled. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PROSECUTIONS AGAINST THE MORNING JOURNAL. JUDGMENT. THE KING •LEXANDER, ISAACSOX, AND 'MARSDEN. Mr. HUMPHREY obtained permission, on the part of Mr. Isaacson, to have his affidavit read, which was in part before the Court on Thursday last. He stated that Mr. Isaacson was a clergyman of the Church of England, holding the living of St. Paul's, Demerara, that he had arrived here last year on a leave of absence, which leave had now expired; that in consequence of his having been the author of a translation of Bishop Jewell's Apology for the Church of England, and having dedicated that work to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, his Grace had pro cured him that situation. That he had hoped the Court would not have called him up for judgment, hut that having found last Thursday their Lordships would not dispense with punishment upon him, he had this morning made his appearance, and trusted be should re ceive the most lenient sentence consistent with justice. His affidavit stated that he had expended upwards of 100/. in preparing to return with his family to Demerara, and should he be now prevented, it would cause him and his family to sustain irreparable loss. Having considered the Established Church in danger, and finding the Morning Journal, when he came to this country, to be almost the only Paper that advocated what he thought likely to pro tect it, ho had unfortunately connected himself with it as a proprietor ; but he regretted exceedingly the situation into which his zeal had led him. lie was totally unable to pay a heavy fine. He was not the author of the letter that had appeared under the name r,f Croshie ; on the contrary, he had seen the writer of it, who had acknow ledged to him that he was the writer, and that he had written to the Duke of Wellington apprising him of that fact before the trial of the informations took place. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considered the conduct of Mr. Isaacson to have been most irregular, but still having appeared to-day he consented to waive the consideration of it. He could not, however, concede that there was any thing in Mr. Isaacson's situation that entitled him to a palliation of punishment. It was not because he was a Clergyman, and had connected himself with this Paper after two of the informations had been filed, that he was the less guilty ; on the contrary, if he were a man of supe rior education and good moral feeling he ought to have above all things avoided connection with so calumniating a medium. With respect to the point Mr. Alexander had made of oppression on the part of the Officers of the Crown, at the Stamp-office, he had got an affidavit de tailing the whole of that transaction, which if the Court wished, was ready to be read. Mr. HUMPHREY considered this irregular, but if the Court thought the usual rule ought to be departed from in this case, he had no objection to make. Mr. Justice BAILEY intimated that the Court had con sidered this se strong a point as to feel it right to require the suits both of caveat and extent to be laid before them, that all doubt on the question should be removed. The writs were then before the Court. Upon this the affidmrit was withdrawn. - SENTENCES. Mr. Justice Ihrusy—You Robert Alexander are to re ceive the sentence of the Court on having been found guiity upon the trial of three informations filed by his Ma jesty's Attorney-General ; you John Isaacson are to re ceive the sentence of the Court, on having been found guilty upon the trial of the last of those three indictments; and you George Marsden I shall speak of by and bye. The first of these indictments is an indictment reflecting upon the character of the present Lord High Chancellor, and reflecting also upon the promotion of the present Solicitor-General. The ontline of the charge is, that the Lord Chancellor, as Privy Councillor, had corruptly advised and procured the advancement of Mr. Sugden to the office of Solicitor-General ; and that you published that libel in the form of a conversation between Corporal Trim and Uncle Tuby, taken from the works of Sterne. You have introduced amonT other matters, this UNCLE I oar—And if a Major should lend his General all his fortune, say :15,000/., for example, what then ? Ta►x—To be placed in the General's shoes, your Honour, before the end of the campaign." This is, we admit, quite satisfactory. There is reason in this merit, and there is point, too, in the argument, which Mr. Sugden and another Learned Personage will be at no loss to comprehend." Nov that information charges, that you published that with an intent to insinuate and cause it to be believed that the Lord Chancellor had corruptly advised and procured the appointment of Mr. Sugden to the office of the Soli eitor-General.—a charge certainly of a most grave and se risus nature; fot, if it could he supposed for one moment —if it could he believed as a fact (and it is asserted in this paragraph substantially as a fact) that there had been cor ruption in the conduct of the person who fills the high office of Chancellor—the highest judicial office in this kingdom—and who is materially instrumental in advising his Majesty with respect to the appointment of the other persons who are to fill judicial offices, what opinion could the public entertain of the Chancellor ? or of the character of any of the persons who should be appointed by him—a Chancellor who the public should think it possible could be actuated by a motive of that description ? He would be unfit for the office, and doubts might possibly arise as to the character of the persons whom he so recommended. Your affidavit states that it was not intended to apply to the Lord Chancellor ; that you had a conversation with a person, on whose respect ibility character, and veracity you could rely, and that he told you the Duke of Wellington had been lately in the City; that he had been buying up estates in the neighbour hood of Stratfieldsaye ; that he was borrowing money, and that among other persons lie had borrowed 30,000/. from the present Solicitor-General. It is unfortunate certainly, if that really were the intention of your mind, that you should have expressed it in the language which this libel contains. Because many men were called, from different classes and departments in society, upon the trial, for the purpose of saying who in their opinion was the person alluded to; and every one of them concurred in the opinion that it referred to the Lord Chancellor, and to no other person. When you look at the in ternal contents, in my opinion, it is excessively difficult for any body not to arrive at the same conclusion. Can it be supposed that Mr. Sugden expected to be placed in the shoes of the Duke of Wellington ? He might by possibility expect, and hope to be placed some time or other " by the end of the campaign"—to nse the expression of the libel—in the situation of the Lord Chancellor, but it is not at all likely he could ever expect to be placed in the situation of the Duke of Wellington. It does not stop on that inference, because it says, that "Mr. Sugden and another Learned Personage will be at no loss to comprehend this." Now we are in the habit, whether rightly or not, I don't stop to enquire, to speak of the law as being one of the learned pro fessions, and when you speak in common conversation in the House of Commons, or in other public places, you very frequently speak of lawyers, by the appellation of the Learned Counsel—my Learned Friend—the Learned Gentleman on the opposite side of the House. The word learned is consequently applied to persons in the situation of the law, but never to my knowledge has it been applied to a great military gentleman, though be may happen at the same time to be the Prime Minister of State. It, therefore, seems to me that if that were the intention, you were most unhappy in the language yeu used ; and it would be well, before you again take upon yourself to be the writer of a para graph, as you profess yourself to have been in this in stance, to take care that that language shall not be of an obscure and ambiguous nature, but that it shall be known to whom it applies. The Learned Judge then stated the substance of the two subsequent indict ments, and with respect to Mr. Marsden, that the sum for which he had been :arrested was for duties due to the Stamp-office, extending to a period considerably be yond the six weeks usually allowed by the Stamp-office as their period of credit. The sentence of the Court upon Mr. Alexander was, that upon each of the three indictments he be imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, for four calendar months, making on the whole, twelve months: that upon each indictment he should pay a fine to the King of 100/., making 300/. That he should subse quently give security for his good behaviour for three years, himself in 5001. and two sufficient sureties in 250/. each, and that he be imprisoned until the fines were paid and the sureties given. The sentence of the Court on Mr. Isaacson was that he should pay a fine to the King of 100/. The sentence on Mr. Marsden was that he should give security for his good behaviour for three years, himself in 100/. and two sureties in 501. each. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. CLIFFORD V. STUMP. Mr. Serjeant ANDRIWS moved to show cause against a rule granted in this case, which was moved by Mr. Serjeant Wilde to have the bail-bond delivered up to the defendant. The action was brought on a bill of exchange, on which the defendant, Mrs. Elisa Stump, was the in dorser ; but she alleged that she got no value for the bill, which the plaintiff contradicts in his affidavit. Mr. Serjeant WILDF. argued, on the part of the defen dant, that the motion should be made absolute. He pro duced two affidavits, which stated that the defendant had not received any consideration for the bill, on account of which she was arrested. .... The COURT decided that the motion of Mr. Serjeant Wilde should be made absolute. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. William Mullins, a boatswain in the Royal Navy, was opposed by Mr. BARRY, on behalf of Richard Carpenter, and John Shot opposed the boatswain in person. The insolvent belonged to his Majesty's ship Trafalgar. For wounds received in the service he bad a pension of 121. a year, but this income the parish-officers of Portsmouth received on account of a " family affair." Beyond this he had 85/. a year salary, and 2s. a day provision-money. Mr. BARRY said he did not wish to impede the insol vent's discharge, but he trusted the Court would recom mend the Lords of the Treasury to deduct something from the insalvent's income. The COURT observed that the Lords of the Admiralty had never consented to make any deductions while an officer was " afloat," from the consideration that his pay would barely discharge his current eypences. Mr. Shot, the creditor, opposing in propria persona, wished to know to what family affairs the insolvent alluded as connected with Portsmouth. The insolvent said it was a domestic affair, and he did not like to answer. Mr. Commissioner HArtars—You must answer the question, Sir. Insolvent (after considerable hesitation) —It is for the support of my first wife.—(This communication excited a good deal of surprise in Court. ) CHIEF COMMISSIONER—IS she alive, or not? I don't know, Sir.—(Laughter.) CHIEF COMMISSIONER—You swear that you do not know whether your first wife is alive or not? Insolvent—l can't say, but I shall know next quarter day, I dare say. Should she be dead, the pension reverts to me.—Case adjourned. THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. We have at present this week small supplies of all kinds of Grain, and ♦ery little Flour.

Ther• being so many statements respecting the breadth of the Sound, one of our citizens resolved to profit by the favourable opportunity this winter too measure it; the first measurement on the 31st December, between the ex treme points of the harbours of Elsinore and Helsenborg, made the distance 7,391 Swedish ells; the second essay on the 28th inst., where the Sound is the narrowest, be tween what are called the Stone Halls and the extreme point of the Fortress of Kronburg made the distance 6,665 elk. There has not been so favourable an opportunity for these 40 years, the weather being very flue and the surface even.

The Emperor of Russia has issued orders of knight hood on several great officers, among whom is the Coun. sello) of State, Khraponitsky, Governor of St. Peters burg.

The Second Chamber of the States-General, in its sit ting to-day, adopted, by a majority of 57 to 7, the project of law for the classification of the Provincial Tribunals, with a view to the determination of the salaries of the Judges. The French Papers of Sunday contain no new s. The following is from our Paris Corre spondent " PARIS, FEB. 6. " A loan for the Porte is now said to be under negociation with the Cabinet of Austria, whose Internuncio, it is stated in letters from Constan tinople, has had frequent conferences on the sub ject with the Reis Effendi, and the Defterdar, or Minister of Finance. Austria is supposed to be willing to assist the Porte in negotiating a loan on certain conditions, one of which is the temporary cession of Belgrade and other frontier places. The Sultan is also to mortgage those branches of his revenue which can be best de pended on, and most easily realized ; and to e vade that dictate of the law of Mahomet which forbids the payment of interest, the financial operation would assume the shape of an advance on the mortgaged revenues. " The activity of the warlike preparations in all parts of Turkey is still spoken of as being much greater than during any period of the war. In the Pachalics of Widdin and Routsehotik the progress of the organization of the irregular troops appears, from all accounts, to be beyond all , Turkish precedent. At Bucharest and throughout the Principalities these preparations have excited the greatest alarm. At Semendria and Gabrova several hundreds of German arti zans are employed in the manufacture of arms, and the great establishments at these places are in full activity. The Sultan's domestic system has, however, at the same time become exceedingly conciliatory. The provincial authorities have received the strictest orders to respect the am nesty declared in favour of those individuals, chiefly Christians and Jews, who had compro mised themselves during the Russian invasion ; and even those under suspicion of favouring the re-establishment of the Janissaries have been treated with a degree of clemency unprecedented in the history of the Ottoman empire. The Ulemas and other Mussulmans, strongly attached to their faith, having been greatly alienated by the innovations produced by the recent reverses of the Porte, the Sultan endeavours to strengthen himself by the establishment of a good under standing with the Christian powers. His friendly disposition towards the Frank population'of his capital has lately been evinced to them in a manner quite Oriental. On one of the gates of the seraglio a head has been nailed up with the following inscription,—" This is the head of the brigand Osman, who behaved so cruelly to the poor Rayas." His new line of policy has also been indicated by the degree of considera tion and respect he has found it necessary to pay to the rich Turkish families of his domi nions, the proprietors of hereditary pachalics and extensive territorial possessions, by calling them to the performance of a much more im portant part than heretofore is the administration of public affairs. The plan of the Sultan seems to be to neutralize and ultimately destroy the arbitrary power of the Pachas, and to introduce a number of improvements into the internal go vernment of the country, in imitation of the in stitutions of civilized Europe ; organizing at the same time, first in the capital, and afterwards in the provinces, a permanent armed force inde pendent of the Pachas. " The Constitutionnd, who is sometimes ac cused by his contemporaries of having letters from St. Petersburgh and other places, on whose frontiers a strict embargo is laid on the trans mission of intelligence disagreeable to the Government, prepared in his bureau in the Rue Montmartre, publishes this morning a long letter from the Russian capital, the object of which seems to be to give some eclat to the return of M. de Mortemart from his northern embassy. M. de Nesselrode is accused of hav ing sent an indiscreet Frenchman to Cronstadt, so hastily, with a view to his being removed beyond the frontier, as to have left him no time to apply for the protection of his Ambassador. After his depatturo, however, M. de Mortemart had heard of the circumstance, and immediately applied to M. de Neaselrode, requesting that in future his mode of proceeding towards French ' men might be less rigorous and less incom patible with the friendly relations existing between the two countries ; adding that he meant to avail himself of the circumstance in question, by making it the subject of a negociation for a species of treaty, in virtue of which no French man in any part of Russia should be disturbed until the Ambassador had first been informed of the ground of complaint against him, so as to afford him an opportunity of judging how far it might become his duty to interfere on his behalf. " There seems to be reason to believe that the Turkish embassy to St. Petersburgh will in some measure be successful ; and that Russia will be prepared to accede to a diminution of the amount of the indemnity, and to facilities in regard to the term of payment. " It was yesterday announced in one of the Morning Papers, that frequent interviews had lately taken place between the Duke of Orleans and the President of the Council, and that two days ago his Royal Highness had waited on Prince Polignac so early as nine o'clock in the morning ; from which it was inferred that the marriage of Prince Leopold to a Princess of the House of Orleans was still seriously entertained. This statement has produced a formal but laconic denial of the proposed marriage i❑ last night's Gazette, in which, however, it is still asserted that the affairs of Greece are finally ar ranged, and that the Prince of Saxe Coburg is to have the sovereignty, with a new title, which is not yet settled, but which will probably be derived from a Hellenic origin. A quantity of specie having lately been sent from Paris to Toulon for exportation, it was at first reported that the sum was intended to be sent to Algiers, as a substitute for the warlike expe dition which has been sometime in preparation. It is now announced, however, officially, that it consists of a remittance for the Greeks, provided partly by France and partly by Russia. A re port of a different nature has since arisen, the object of which is to make it be believed that the Algerine expedition has been finally aban doned, in consequence it is said, of a represen tation from a committee of naval officers, that a communication cannot be kept up between the marine and the land forces, from the total want of necessary shelter ; and that three weeks and upwards might elapse without the possibility of supplies of food and ammunition being furnished from the fleet to the troops on shore. " The French Ministry are said to be at this moment busily occupied in preparing for a revi sion of the election laws. Orders have' been given for an examination of the registers of the Royal Courts throughout the kingdom, from which extracts are to be made of all decisions pronounced in questions arising out of contested elections, with a view to the contemplated modi fication of the law. " The Vales Consolides, which have stood so long on the Exchange of Madrid at from 17 to 18 per cent., have progressively advanced during the last three months in the most untie.- countable manner, so as on the 29th of Ja nuary to have reached 46. A Spaniard of dis tinction, at present in Paris, has received a letter from his agent in Madrid, recommending bias to avail himself of this unlooked-for advance, saying, We know nothing which can justify " the improvement, but as our finances receive " their impetus from Paris, you must look for your information there.' The gentleman io question has wisely got rid of his stock."

GRAIL—The Market continues to have a very heavy appearance. • SALTPETRE.—The Market is getting very bare of this, and pareels going off as they arrive. &matt-J.Continues in active demand. Smr.—The Market has been very dull during the past week, with a tendency to a decline. EUROPEAN GOODS.-The market, generally, is evec stocked, and there is little appearance of improvement. Freights to London still rate 41. for dead weight, sad 51. Or, to 61. for light goods. For some time past the weather (after it had the ap pearance of an approaching change to cold) has a gain, become partially hot and sultry, which has earned an in crease of fever and other complaints. _ _ . Rumour is busy and contradictory as to the result of the long -agitated ha-batta question : some will have it that the Military Finance Committee, with one exception, has recommended the extension of the order to all the army ; others assert, that the restoration to full batty accompanies the Earl of Dalhousie. It is stated in the Hurkaru, that the Directors of the Bask of Bengal have received a sharp rebuff from Go vernment, for expecting or asking the Company to make up the losses sustained by the Bank. Montreal Papers to the 12th Jan., and Quebec to the 7th Jan. have been received at the North and South Ame— rican Coffee-house. The Quebec Papers say, that on Monday morning there was at last a fall of snow sufficient to make good win ter roads. , A Vera Cruz paper has also been received to the 20th December, in which there is a very long Manifesto by General Santa Anna, addressed to his fellow citizens, re lating to the different dissentions which prevailed in the Republic. TILE FUNDS. The Consol Market, to the present time, continue* steady. Consols, which left off yesterday at 91 f for the Account, opened at 91f. at which price they remain, al ternately buyers and sellers. The public attention, this morning, is greatly engrossed by the explanation and re futation, in certain Morning Journals, with regard to the late melancholy event of Lord Graves, and the public learn with great satisfaction that the scandalous insinuation* against a person of high rank are without the least foun dation. _ . In the Foreign Market there is little or nothing doing at present. Most of the prices are nominal. In the Foreign Market a great deal has been done in Brazil Stock in the early part of the morning. When the arrival of the Lobelia frigate was known from Rio Janeiro, a report was put into circulation that she brought a declaration of war against Portugal ; but it appear. she is not of so late a date as the last Brazil packet, and has only conveyed to France the second daughter of Don Pedro, to receive her education there. Owing to the above report, Brazil Stock receded to 651, since which reaction took place, and they are now 66i. Greek Stook has improved ; Spanish Stock maintains its price. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have continued during the whole of the morn ing at 91i to 92 for the Account, and for morel► with little business doing. No political information has come to band of any coo segnence, nor do we hear, up to the present hour, of 09 Express having arrived from Paris. HALF-PAST TWO. 'Within a short period a sudden improvement has takes place in Consols, which were 911, and have got u p to 92 for the Account, owing to a report that at the Bank meeting to-morrow something will be said about discounting at 3 per cent. ; this is only report.

COOL IMAGINATIONS.--Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather, three individuals, two males and a female, were baptised, by immersion, abort nine o'clock last Friday evening, at the Calvinist Chapel in Spalding.—Boston Gazette. EMOND, the supposed murderer, was brought over from the gaol to the lock-up-Louse, at half past nine o'clock yesterday evening. His trial comes on at ten o'clock this morning.

The following instance of the severity of the frost on Saturday last, occurred near Fairmilehead Tol Bar :—A partridge was found by a man passing along the road with its feet frozen to the ground, so that it could not move from the place where it was standing. He serf humanely carried it to the Toll-house, asd having melted the ice from its feet, it recovered the use of its legs, sa d now seems to prefer the comforts of the Toll.houKe fire side, to its former habitation in the fields...—.
