On the Act of Parliament being obtained, and for which all the necessary notices has been given for tho ensuing session, each sub_ scriber wil' oe required tc nominate a good and insurable life not exceeding twenty, nor less titan the years of age. A subscriber will not be limited in the numoer of his nominations, provided that not more than fit F shares are dependent upon any one life ; such shares to be at all times transferable. On the Act being obtained, the remainder of the capital to be raid at such times as the Committee 'my require, one month's pre. views notice being given. The Provisional Committee have arranged with certain Life Inturance Offices, whereby every subscriber, or his representa tive*, will be secured the receipt of 2001. on the death of his no. minee, for each 100/. paid. The rental will be applied, in ti e first instance, In paying the necessary premiums for insuranoe.

Minister would do something gr at for the trading interests ; the agriculturists were not yet alienated ; and tie country at large was si nnewinat wearied of political contests, and math nu re 4 ,: iisposed than is wont to suffer passively an er[. erir nent from new rulers. In addition to these coasi der ations there was the highly-important one, that ;the income-tax was proposed as a temporary measure'.. lis operation was to be severe but speedy, and I low, !ver p2infully it might be felt, there was the cons( ►slat ion that in three years it would be at an end. Under such circumstances the ii is ome-tax became law with far less difficulty than might have been expected, but its grievous hardship cad injustice have realised the worst anticipations of its opponents. A proposal to renew this tax in its p resent form for an indefinite period, or for even three y ears longer, would be as unpopular a measure as a 3y that could be brought forward. It is not possible, however, to sur render an income of five millions a ' ear, and there fore it is important to observe the nata re and bearing of the two wholly dissimilar taxes wl ich, under the general head of property-tax, or inex 'me-tax, yield that amount of revenue. This distfrg tion was exhi bited very clearly in the last numb et of the Weal minster Review, by a writer whose f Jts and reason ings are well worthy of attention : " Sir Robert Peel," says the revi , ewer , " when he came into office, imposed two new to xes—a tax upon property, correctly so called, just 'and equitable in principle; and an income-tax, or ; I tax upon the wages of labour and the profits of trade, however precarious the source from which: duty might be derived--a tax at once oppressive aa linquisitorial. " Oppressive, because the annual j'ayment of 91. to a clerk dependent for the suppcart: ,of himself and family upon a salary of 3001. is a hal 'den dispropor tioned to his means; and unjust, I), te. ause a burden greatly exceeding the tax imposed up o n the rich man, although nominally the same in amou 7 it. " For example : 3001. per annu in arising from capital invested in the Three per G wits., are at the present moment worth 10,0001. I 'he income of a clerk is unsaleable; it depends upon personal services, for which he may be incapacitated a `.• any moment; and if he die, his family are beggars. . Yet the clerk is called upon to contribute the same , amount to the revenue as a rich man with 10,000 in the funds !" It is this tax upon incomes gained is s trade and by personal exertion which produces 'e -sixths of the hardship and annoyance associated in t the public mind with the whole system. It is this wt,i ch gives rise to the inquisitorial examination into till 3 circumstances of every trader. It is this which exp mes the poverty which so often lies concealed beneat l an exterior of professional respectability. It is th is which presses, with unrelenting severity, on that p' irtion of the mid dle classes with whom the struggle ' o make out life is most difficult, and who are least al de to bear such a burden. But as the Westininstelf x!eriewer observes, the same objections do not apply . to the t ax upon landed a n d f un d e d property , or, in other words, to that which is really the "property-tax:, It is col lected with ease, certainty, and rer7 little exp ense . It does not i nvo l ve vexatious incruisvdon into p r i va t e affairs, and if it s t oo d a l one , it would provoke as small a share of popular dislike as any yth.er form of direct taxation. Keeping in view, then, t he . broad distinction between the property-tax and the -Income-tax, let us y each.

PROPERTY AND I NCOME-TAX. Of the many questions suggested by the prosperous state of the revenue, we believe the most lively interest is excited by that which relates to the income tax. As the period for which it was imposed draws to a conclusion, everybody begins to look with anxiety to the decision which Parliament will soon be called upon to pronounce respecting its continuance. There could not be a greater mistake than to suppose, from the comparative acquiescence with which the income-tax has been borne, that the people of this country are prepared to sanction it as a permanent financial arrangement. If Sir Robert Peel builds upon any such supposition, he will find himself egregiously mistaken. The circumstances under which the income-tax was proposed, removed or weakened the objections of a large portion of the community, whose opposition would at another time have been fatal. There was a large deficiency in the public income which it was necessary to supply. An income tax might not be the best remedy for the case, but it was a remedy ; and those who throughout the country had opposed the budget and commercial reforms of the Whigs could not well point to any other. The constituencies had rejected the scheme of making up the deficit by an alteration of the duties on corn, sugar, and timber, and, without Pennsylvanian dis honesty, they could not well shrink from the other alternative of a new tax. Besides this, the income tax was the first great measure of Sir Robert Peel's Government ; it was proposed when that Government was at the height of its power, and when its hold upon public opinion was stronger than it has ever been since or can ever be again. The mercantile Con servatives still cherished the delusion that the new THURSDAY EVENIAVG SUN, JANUARY s, 'HE SUN is PUbliSited EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time 'or the EARLY TRAINS and TOWIV DjaLIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION (E ven i ng Sun) is P siblished in and a THIRD at EDITIONSEVEN O'CLOCK, .for posr, Containing PAALL AMENTARY and all ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Nig , yht other NEWS in LONDON tip to that Hour. i t herebnsuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE regular importer, if it does not inculcate any new lesson, gives additional weight to formerly, we should say, already too dearly purchased experience, and affords a very severe warning not to place too much confidence in estimates of crops, as the increased energy and activity which an advance in price gives to the planter to secure all he possibly can, tend to make an otherwise short crop, as we have seen this year, into a full average one. Estimates of crops, even when made .with honest intentions, it should be borne in mind, are mere guess work, and may be ren dered erroneous from a variety of causes it is quite impossible at the moment to foresee. Notwithstanding the short crop, we have had at one period of the year, viz., the week ending 12th July, the largest stock of cotton ever before held in port ; it reached the enormous amount of 998,400 bags. It has since materially diminished, but we have still a considerable excess of stock over last year. The long prevalence of easterly winds during this month have kept back the sup plies, so that as yet we have received com paratively little of the new crop, although it is said to have been an earlier one by some weeks than the last. The change of wind, which seems now about to set in, will bring in the large supply now on the way, so that we shall, in all probability, see a constant addition made to the stock for a long period. During the past month the prospect of an increasing demand for goods and yarn at the turn of the year, has induced many consumers to purchase largely, so that on the whole a very ample supply is now held by the trade, about on a par, it is supposed, with the quantity they had on hand at the close of last year. The increase of consumption, although considerable, is not so large as might have been anticipated from the additional quanity of machinery brought into operation ; this is supposed to arise chiefly from the inducement offered for an increased production of the lighter fabrics ; whilst the manufacture of heavier descriptions of goods, requiring a greater weight of cotton, had keen attended with less benefit. 'We think we may with safety congratulate our friends on the prospects for the future, as we do not recollect a period when the year commenced under more favourable auspices ; there seems to be nothing in the distance but what is cheering and encouraging to skill and industry. The quantity of cotton al ready gathered of the lust crop, is sufficient security against high prices for a long period to come. The value of cotton is, from the latest accounts, declining in the United States, and seems likely to be purchased there en terms. that will induce the importer to bring it at once on the market. The export from America exceeds already 150,000 bales, the greater part of which is still to arrive; so that if we continue to be blessed by Providence with abundant harvests, cheap cotton, and cheap food—the chief elements of prosperity to this country—must give an additional stimulus to trade, and whilst it affords increased comforts to all at home, must render also essential benefit to those distant na tions whose products are exchanged for our manu factures. If; therefore, the stock in the hands of the trade this year is estimated at the same amount as last year, the consumption this year must be estimated by the deliveries from the ports, which average 27,326 bales per week. ----- CALEDONIAN SOCIETY. The anniversary dinner of this excellent institution took place last evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. It was attended by a numerous and very respectable:assemblage, who evinced a warm interest in the admirable objects for which the society was established, namely—contributin g in various forms to the support and protection of the less fortu nate members of the Scottish nation resident in London. The appearance of the assembly was ren dered peculiarly brilliant and interesting by the pre sence of a large number of the fair sex, and the picturesque garb of several gentleman who attended the dinner in full Highland costume. At half-past six o'clock about 130 sat down to dinner, which was provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breache in that supe rior manner that characterises their establishment. James Wylie, Esq., in the chair. The usual loyal and national preliminary toasts having been given, Mr. 13oucifEa said that the object of the Caledonian Society was to co-operate with other benevolent asso ciations in London which had for their object the benefit and advantage of poor natives of Scotland and their children, and amongst the most valuable of those institutiona he might name the Caledonian Asylum, the Scottish Hospital, and the Highland School Society. Those associations had conferred the great est possible advantages upon hundreds of their fellow countrymen and their offspring, and it ought to be the desire of every friend of Scotland to support them. —(Hear, I►ear.) The object of this society was to co-operate with all those institutions, by subscriptions and otherwise ; and there could not be a greater ser vice rendexed to their less fortunate countrymen. Many an in tfortunate son of Scotland had been relieved in the hour of his distress by these institutions:; and many a c hild of Scottish parents had been brought up at thei. , r schools in such a manner as not only to enable Vaem to provide for themselves in life, but to reflect honour upon the name of Scotland.--(Loud cheers.) The purpose of the present meeting was rather to assemble in a social and festive spirit ; but he could not avoid taking that opportunity of briefly adverting to ► the nature and purpose of the Caledonian Society. As he said that its object was co-operation with other benevolent institutions, he could not do anything n sore in accordance with the views of its members th an to propose the health of the gentlemen from those 'other societies who had that night honoured them with their presence. The toast; was drunk with much applause. The next toast was " The Caledonian Society," which was drunk with Highland honours. Several other national toasts were proposed and drunk, amongst which was "The Memory of Burns," given in a touching and eloquent manner by the Chairman, stnd responded to by the a; sembly with much feelint;. Various Scottish songs were sung during the even ing, and the company separated at a late hour. THE CROOM POACHING:AFFRAY VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST TWO OF THE POACHERS. WORCESZER, JAN. 7.—The jury, impannelled be fore the Coroner of this city (J. B. Hyde, Esq.), to inquire into the cause of the death of Thomas Staite, who died in the Worcester Infirmary on the 24th ult., met this day by appointment to resume their inquiry, whic h, it will be recollected, was adjourned from the 27th of December to this day. In the mean time, as has already been stated in this paper, several parties have been apprehended on suspicion of having been concerned in this murderous outrage ; and two of them (Francis Dingley and Joseph Turvey) are now in the 'Worcester county prison, whither they have been committed by two county magistrates, who however thought proper to exclude the press from reporting the evidence of the witnesses examined. But the Coroner, as usual, threw open his court to the public. The facts of the case have been already given in this journal. When the whole of the witnesses had been exa mined, The CORONER commented on and explained the evidence, and ;After a short deliberation, the jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Joseph Turvey and Francis Dingley, and some other persons to the jury unknown." At the termination of the inquiry one of the jurors addressed to the Coroner and his brother jurymen some observati ons on the subject of the preservation, of life, which i 3 so intimately connected with this in quiry. He ob3erved that the horrid spectacle which they had witnessed at the commencement of their proceedings, in the mangled corpse of the murdered gamekeeper, and the horrifying picture which must have been drawn before their minds' eyes from the details of the se'reral witnesses, could not fail to have excited in them feelings of sorrow and disgust; and although he was aware that, strictly, their duties as jurors, were limited to an inquiry as to how the ill fated man Thomas Staite had come to his death, still they could not overlook the cause which had led to so dreadful a result; and he thought that an expression of their feelings on that subject would not be out of place. He, therefore, proposed that they should ap pend to their verdict a declaration of their sentiments in the following terms : " That the jury cannot but deplore the continuance of laws so immoral in their tendency, so fruitful in crime, and so destructive to human life, as the game laws have proved, after long experience, throughout the lengthland breadth of the country; and that they strongly recomm en d th e i r a b roga ti on . , Several jurymen expressed their concurrence in these sentiments. The CORONER said, that whatever might be his feel ings on the subject, he could not attach such a de claration as the above to their verdict, for that such a step would most probably lead to a reprimand on him from the judge for introducing extraneous matter. • •5 . .• I, 0 . 4 • k X, .

They were delightrully given ; and we trust that during the course of the season the Messrs. Brabant will give us many more specimens of this, the national music of England. The Brahams were all there, in excellent voice. 'What may be the age of Mr. Braham, according to the calendar, we know not; but, vocally speaking, he is what he ever has been in our remem brance, about thirty—just in his prime. Long may he so continue. Mr. C. Braham has ripened into a delicious concert room singer; but Mr. Hamilton Braham should not confine his exertions to the concert room. The lyrical drama stands in need of his ser vices. Nature intended him for the prirno basso, cantate of Europe. The concert was well attended. SHAKSPEAREAN. We last night had the gratification of hearing the first of a course of three lectures on the plays of Shakspeare, delivered at the Eastern Literary and Scientific Institution, Hackney-road, by Mr. T. Cross, of Cambridge. The subject was the play of Richard the Third, which the lecturer analysed and commented upon in a manner that drew forth frequent and ethu siastic bursts of applause from a anmerous and highly respectable audience, who, by the usual testimonies of approbation, exhibited their appreciation of the acumen, research, and taste, of the talented gentle man who addressed them. Mr. Cross was pecu liarly happy in his selections. His introduction, in which he noticed the genius of Shakspeare, Sze., was ino,t warmly applauded. At the conclusion there appeared a general feeling of regret that the lecture was not of longer duration. We understand this is Mr. Cross's first appearance as a lecturer be ,, fore a London audience, and it must be highly grati fying to that g e n tl eman an d hi s f r i ends to find that he met with such unequivocal symptoms of future suc cess. The next lecture, the subject of which is Macbeth, is fixed for the 14th of February ensuing, when the admirers of our immortal bard may, not withstanding all that has been written and said upon his works, be startled by novelties on a subject they have thought exhausted. THE MERCHANT SERVICE. There are many thousand seamen in the merchant service who will come under the jurisdiction of the new Act, in which are several provisions respecting the performance of their duties, and the punishment. prescribed for negligence or desertion. By the 6th section it is declared that in case a seaman, whether before the commencement or clarit , the porogress of any voyag e , s h a ll at any time neglect refuse to join the ship on board of which he shall have engaged to serve, or shall refuse to proceed to sea in such ship, or shall absent himself therefrom without leave, or shall desert, it shall be lawful for any justice of the. peace in her Majesty's dominions or the territories under the Government of the East India Company, upon complaint made upon oath by the master, mate, or owner, or his agent, to issue his warrant, and cause such seaman to be apprehended and brought before him ; and in case such seaman shall not give a reason to the satisfaction of such justice for his neglect, re fusal, or absence, or in case of desertion, it shall be lawful, upon due proof of such neglect, refusal, or desertion, to commit such seaman to prison or to house of correction, with' or without hard labour, at the discretion of the justice, for a period not exceeding 30 days; or it shall be lawful for the said justice, if he shall so think fit, at the re quest of the master, mate, or owner, or his agent, instead of committing such seaman, to cause him to be conveyed on board the said ship, or to delivered to either of the parties men tioned, for the purpose of being so conveyed, and proceeding on the voyage, and also to award to the master or owner such costs incurred in the apprehen sion of the seaman as shall seem reasonable, not ex ceeding 4es., w hi c h s h a ll b e chargeable against, and may be deducted from, the wages of such seaman ; and whenever any seaman shall be committed to prison, the justice shall cause his register-ticket to be delivered to the keeper of the prison, who shall retain the same during the imprisonment of the seaman, and, at its expiration, return the same ; and whenever a seaman shall be sentenced to death or transportation the officer having the custody of such seaman shalt transmit his register-ticket to the registrar of sea men. By other provisions, it is enacted that absence from the ship, or otherwise from duty, shall subject a seaman to forfeit two days' pay, an I in case of deser tion' his clothes and effects on bo ar d are to be for feited. A penalty of 101. is provided for harbouring a deserter. No debt exceeding ss. incurred by any seaman after he shall have engaged to serve, shall he dunder pretence norca ofn any adebt; seaman'sand in a recov erable until the serv i ce agreed for shall have effe c ct s s e be detained n concluded,e of such detention, th e o ff ender be liable to a penalty not several exceeding 101. These are others to enforce the right of seamen against the master arid owners) to take effect from Wednesday last. pacSkoett!Hca.apUtta'iTn y o so, N JAN. B. The O r i en t a l steam arrived at 10 A.M. this day, at the Motherbank, from Alexandria.

Her Majesty's ship Scout, two Danish men of war, one Danish steamer, three Swedish men of war, and one French corvette, were at Gibraltar. The Oriental is expected to be released on Friday from quarantine. The Royal Tar will take out this week's Peninsular mails, and will leave for Gibraltar at three P.M. tu-morrow. The Duke of Pain - lel& arrived here on Monday in the Royal Tar, and left the same evening in the Grand Turk, for Havre.

By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School, Edinburgh, Author of " Rudiments of English Composition," &c. In this work, to which the author has devoted the labour of several years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dictionary adapted to the present state of the English Language, and to the un proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by.the use of eminent authors, except such as have be come obsolete, or arc merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the sante time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are de rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a Vocabulary ; so that the Dictionary may be used either for reference, or for teaching Derivation. The Pronunciation, which is indicated by a simple no tation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevail ing usage, or from the majority of competent authorities. The Clas sical arid Scripture Proper Names arc printed in one list, and are divided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.

The propeltty-tax, therefore, yields about three millions and a quarter sterling, and the income-tax little more than two millions. It is tolerably certain that the expense of collecting the latter sum is at least two or three times as great as the expense of collecting the prop, mty-tax, and the cost in annoyance and hardship to Ithe community is out of all proportion in the two cases. The obvious suggestion from these facts is, that the property-tax alone should be retained, and the odious and expensive income-tax abolished. When the real state of the case becomes familiar to the public, as it must soon be from Parliamentary discussion, this cannot fail to be come the popular demand. The removal of the in come-tax is evidently practicable. The state of the revenue affords no reason for its continuance. It is no longer possible to plead for it as a necessary evil.. It is an enormous evil, now stripped of every pretence by which a palliation can be made out. It is of no use to say that it was imposed along with the property-tax, and that they must stand or fall together. This may seem very good logic to the landed interest, but nobody else will perceive the eis consequentice of the argument. The conjunction of the two taxes on the same basis wets originally a rank injustice, and a rank injustice it remains.. The representations originally made of the unequal pressure which the scheme would produce, were overborne by Ministerial influence rather than at tempted to be answered. The unfairness, indeed, of taxing the precarious income of the struggling trader, or the still more precarious gains of pr ofessional toil, as heavily as the rental of a landed proprietor, was so obvious that it could not be denied.; and was only disregarded on the plea that any jwAter arrangement would be so inconvenient as to be impracticable. This unjust burden has now been borne for three ears and it is time that it should be got rid of. Its complete removal is the only fair n3ode of settling the question ; because an income -tea, bearing the same proportion to the property-tax which the valve of a trading or professional income bears to the value of a landed or funded income of the same amount, would yield but little over the cost of collection.-- Chronicle. iLltetyonwtuirat'af Circular.) .the commence mentTHE COTTON TR A.DE. T ( h F e r p o r m o s p il e / c e ts ss o rs ith W e r of the present year were of a very cheering character, the low prices previously current having assisted in a very material degree to c:ause the revival of trade, which then beg t an o show : i tself in a very decided manner and raised sanguine I expectations for the future, which, it is gratifying t() add, have not been disappointed. Trade, it is true, received rather a severe, but only a to mporary check in the two first months of 6:3 year, arising from a sudden advance of the raw material, caused by a mischievous, and to many of those en gaed in it, ruinous speculation, found ed on deceptive estimates of the last crop of cotto n in America. During the month of January the transactions in cotton were unusually heavy, and price of American advanced fully d, per lb. In the week ending Feb. 2, the speculation had reached its climax, when the weekly sales extended to the enorr nous amount of 109,570 bales, of which 84,200 . were taken by speculators. Immediately after that period the day of reckoning began ; prices had then reached the highest point they attaine I during the year. The advance was so sudden, particularly with the rather heavy stock then in the port, tl lat consumers, finding that they could not realise an equivalent advance on good s an d yarn , b egan. to lose confi dence, and purch ase mare sparingly. Towa r d s th e close of February it became very apparent that the import from America, which until thcm had been un usually light, would soon greatly increase, as the accumulation of stocks in the American ports had already become unwieldy, and could no longer be held back ; added to this, towards the middle of March the false estimates of the crop could no longer escape detection, so that all the visionary profits of the spe culators speedily vanished. exceptions, Prices began to recede t eli le r y ly h in av Al e c a o rc n i t i i , n a u n e ( d l, to w d it e h eli s n o e m g e ra t d ri tt fl a T lE j ever since. Prices of most descriptions of cotton ,are now ld. per lb. below those current in January laet, and to Id. lower than the highest point of the year. The result of the speculation in cotton this year, so dis astrous to those engaged in it, and so ruinous to the CHARGE. Within the last few days before the Crane left several purchases of bullion had been made for ex port, and the value both of silver and doubloons has advanced. 4! IRE AT CLERKENW ELL.—This morning., shortly before one o'clock, a fire of unusual fierceness was dis covered by police-constable Nicholls upon the extensive premises known as the Princess Royal, in St. John's street-road, at the corner of Corporation-row. When first perceived, the flames had obtained a strong hold of the bar and parlour, and they were bursting through the fanlight. Fortunately one of the fire-escapes, which was stationed in the vicinity, was taken in front of the flaming premises, and two females and a male were taken down the same. Several engines soon arrived, the sup ply of water was ample, and the firemen made great ex ertions ; but their efforts were in vain. The interior of the building was entirely destroyed, and oven the walls are in a tottering state. At one time it was reported that a young man had perished, but it was subsequently believed that he had not returned home when the fire commenced. The origin of the calamity is unknown. SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday after noon, just about dusk, as a policeman of the M division was going his round in Sparnck's-row, near Maze-pond, in the Borough, he saw a bundle lying on the ground, which he found to contain the body of a newly-born male child. As the body was quite warm, the officer thought there might yet be life in it, and he conveyed it to Guy's Hospital to ascertain the fact ; but upon exami nation by the surgeons, it was pronounced to be quite dead. From its appearance it had not been long born, and the mother had not evidently been attended by any professional person. A PANTHER KILLED BY A GIRL.---The La Grange, Texas paper, gives the following ineident, which oc• curred near Douglas, Nacogdoches county :—A panther came into a house in which there was no person but a young lady and her little brother. The young lady, being very busy attending to her little household affairs, did not see the panther until he had entirely got into the house; but so soon as she discovered him she seized holdlof him and called to her little brother to bring the axe. After waiting some time for this weapon, still holding on to the panther, the young lady then told her brother to bring her a smoothing-iron, with which she soon succeeded in putting the intruder to death. The screams of the heroine during the encounter were heard by some of the neighbours, who went immediately to learn the cause; but when they arrived they found her the conqueror, and viewing with much composure the lifeless body of the frightful intruder. HERRING nsum.—There has yet been no ap pearance of herrings on the coast of Skye, or in the lochs by which that island is so much indented. The season may now be looked upon as entirely lost to the poor disappointed fisherman. Should herrings appear in the dead of winter, the quality of the fish would be so inferior, that it would in no respect remunerate the trouble of securing. Few seasons have been so very un favourable for herring fishing in the Hebrides as the now expiring season of 1844. The " take" has been in some bygone seasons very limited, and in consequence has been complained of ; bat when there is no " take" at all, the condition of:the poor fishermen is by no:means an enviable one, as under these circumstances they and their families must live on credit, which is now almost as difficult for them to procure as it is to procure the ca pricious fish, which would leave them alike comfortable and independent.—Ross-shire lndpendent. The French Princes on Monday gave the spectacle ot. of a stag-h un t t o t h e A ra b ch i efs in t h e f ores t f s Germain.

The Princes, fearing some accident, sent to seek the chief, and the Duke d'Authale went to sleet him. The Kalifa was found coming back in safety. Being. asked how he liked the hunt, he replied th a t " i t was ex ceedingly fine, and worthy of a king."

THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, JAN. 7.—Her Majesty's packet Crane, Lieutenant Lewis commander, has arrived direct with mails from Rio de Janeiro this afternoon. Her dates are Pernambuco the I 1 th, and Bahia the 16th of October, and Rio th e 26th o f N ovem b er. She brings on freight about 36,0001., and four passengers, includ ing Captain Willis, late of Her. Majesty's ship Frolic. The exchange at Rio was 25. There is no news of importance by this conveyance, matters remaining in stain quo at the seat of Govern ment. At: Maceio there had been some little out break of the ordinary Brazilian character, to check which a new President, Senor Lopez Gaeta, and a considerable number of troops, had been dispatched in the Regeneracio corvette, with two brigantines, and two steamers, and it was expected that the province would be speedily pacified. i The English brig John Dalton, from Sydney, was driven on shore in a gale of wind, on Cape Negro, the 16th of November, and the mails which were transmitted the next day to Rio de Janeiro, are brought to England by the Crane. Her Majesty's ships Frolic, Viper, and Spider, were ordered to proceed to render assistance, and by the latest accounts before the Crane sailed the vessel was expected to be got off with little damage. A lady passenger, reported to be called Stevens or Stevenson, had been unfortunately drowned. There were at Rio when the Crane left—Her Ma jesty's ships Alfred, Collingwood, Dolphin, and Cres cent; the French corvette Coquette, and the Ameri can frigate Raratan and corvette Boston. The Express packet, from Falmouth, arrived out at Rio de Janeiro on the 18th of November, and her Majesty's schooner Cockatrice sailed for Portsmouth the 11th eodern. According to the Rio Mercantile Journal of No vember 23, business in imports has been dull in the extreme during the week, particularly as regards the most important articles, such as flour, piece-goods, and wines. The arrivals with cargoes consist of 2 vessels with coals, 1 with deals, 1 with fi s h o il , 3 w i t h flour, 1 with jerked beef, 1 with lumber and dry goods, 5 with salt, 1 with wax and oil, 2 with wine, 1 with wine and sundries, and 4 with sundries. In coffee the business had been moderate during the week, and prices had been fully supported, second good and first ordinary being quoted, the former 100 rs., the latter sOrs. in advance of the previous price. The sales of the week may be estimated at 20,000 bags. Of these there were exported-5,253 bags to Antwerp, 3,535 to Baltimore, 3,017 to Bos ton, 4,104 to Bremen, 1,673 to the Cape of Good Hope, 3,932 to Fal mou th, 3 , 26 0 to Hamburgh, 2,860 to Malta, 1,625 to Marseilles, 8,598 to New York, 2,064 to Philadelphia, 20 to River Plate; in all (16th to 22d) 39,941 bags. Shipped since Ist instant, 103,463 bags. The quantity of sugar arrived was 437 cases of Campos, and 240 bags and barrels of Pernams ; the sales for export were about 1,500 barrels for the River Plate, and for consumption about 160 cases. Ex ported-1 case to Africa, and 19 to the Cape. In hides considerable activity has prevailed during the week, in which the market was cleared. 16,500 heavy, old stock, were taken at 170r5.; 11,300 as sorted, heavy, medium, and light, at 19Ors. ; and, this day, 6,250 at about the same price, establishing our quotations of 180 rs. heavy, 195 rs. medium, 205 to 210 rs. light. A fair amount of business has been done in freights, at about previous quotations. Large vessels have been taken somewhat below the current rates. In the Money Market discounts have been steady at 7 per cent. In exchange, part of the transactions usually ef fected for the packet took place prior to the departure of the Cockatrice, since when the market has been flat at 25} to 25 upon London. Altogether about 80,000/. has been negotiated, of which 25,000/. at 25i, the remainder at 25d., the closing quotation this day. Upon Paris 80,000 f. has been passed at 373 and 375, principally at 375. The business upon Hamburgh has been trivial, at 700 rs. Stock steady at 73, at which several sales have been effected. ///2 'V 1 N. 11
