A letter from St. Peteraburgh, Jan. 21, says : Yesterday the Emperor passed in review, on the . square of the Admiralty, all the garrison of the capital, and the troops quartered in the neighbour hood. The weather was exceedingly fine and mild for . the winter season. He was accompanied by the Grand Duke, his eldest son, the Grank Duke Con stantine, his second one, the Grand Duke Michael, and the Duke de Leuchtenberg. Notwithstanding the traces of suffering visible in his features, the Emperor's health appeared to be in no way affected. Ile often testified his satisfaction to the generals and soldiers, approaching several of them, under tke pretext of correcting their carriage, but in reality fur the purpose of addressing them with a few kind words. It was remarked that the Emperor often chatted with his son-in-law, and showed him many marks of affection." Letters from Vienna, of the 30th ult., state that the Duke of Saxe Coburg was much better. A letter , from Berlin, Jan. 30, says :—" The King has just conferred the honour of hereditary nobility, with the title of Baron, on two learned men, M. de Schelling, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Berlin; and M. Schoenlein, First Physician to his Majesty. Count de Bulow, who had been long at Copenhagen, nego• Listing on the subject of the Sound dues, has returned, without having succeeded in the object of his mission." STATE of AFFAIRS at OTAHEITE - (From the Liverpool Times of Tuesday.) We had yesterday an interview with the Rev. Mr. Howe, one of the missionaries of the London Mis sionary Society, who has just arrived in Liverpool, di rect from Otaheite, which island he left on the 27th of August, and from him we have learnt the following particulars of the present state of that and of the other islands of the Society Group : The whole population of Otaheite, and the other islands claimed by the French, were in arms against them, and they were masters of nothing beyond what they occupied in Otaheite itself. They could not move a mile from Papeiti without being attacked by the native s. who were determined to resist to the last. The total French force consisted of about 1,000 men, and of the natives there were, either in Otaheite or the adjoining islands, from 4,000 to 5,000 determined men in arms, resolved to resist them to the last. Already from 200 to 250 of the French had fallen in attacking the strong position taken by the natives, of whom about 100 had also lost their lives. Queen Pomare had refused to have anything to do with the French. She had joined her subjects in one of the adjoining islands, and was deter mined either to live or die a queen: DEATII BY FIRE.—On Tuesday evening Mr. W Carter held an inquest at the Marquis of Granby, Dittot Marsh, near Esher, upon the body of Sarah Palmer, aged fifty-five, the wife of a wheelwright, whose death was occa sioned by her . clothes accidentally catching fire. It ap peared that the deceased, who thr some time past had been in an infirm state of health, and had recently had a stroke of paralysis, was, on Sunday night last, alone in her house. About half-past nine o'clock Mrs. Goldsmith, who resides next door, heard screams proceeding from the house, and, on entering, she found the deceased lying on the floor, enve loped in flames. Mrs. Goldsmith extinguished the fire as quickly as possible, and afterwards called in Messrs. Mullins and \Vete% surgeons, who administered such remedies as were applicable to the case ; but from the first no hope was entertained of the deceased's recovery, and she expired in great agony.at live o'clock on Monday morning. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally burnt to death." DISTRESSING AFFAIR AT NOTTINGLIAM. — About six. months ago a very fine and interesting girl, aged 15, and named Hannah Willinott, daughter .of Mr. Willmott, a re spectable Coach-proprietor, residing in the neighbourhood, was apprenticed to learn the business to a milliner and dress-maker, carrying on the most extensive establish ment at Nottingham. A few weeks ago the girl paid a visit to a female friend, named Campbell, living in the town, and from her dejected and delicate appearance ex cited the suspicion that there was something wrong, but she could not be prevailed upon at. that time to give any satis factory explanation. At the close of the following week Mrs. Campbell sent to the place of business, requesting that the girl might be allowed to join a little party of friends who were portaking of her hospitality. The girl, who was an in-door apprentice, was permitted to go, and, on reaching this lady's house, was again closely questioned as to whether she was really unwell, or, if not, what caused her to look so despondingly. She then admitted that her master had given her powders and other medicine of a powerful nature, but de nied that there was anything else the matter with her. Mrs. Campbell immediately sent for the master, and remon strated with hint on the impropriety of his not having ac quainted ,the girl's family with her illness, instead of taking upon himself to act. as her physician. He excused himself in such terms as to remove all blame from his door for the time ; but the girl growing gradually worse was finally taken away from his house about three weeks since, and re moved to that of Mrs. Campbell, the father living some distance from here. She then, after a great deal of hesita tion,_ admitted that her master had taken improper liberties with her several times, and perceiving that she was becoming enceinte, induced her to take those drugs already referred to, and which were administered to her by himself and a young woman, also apprenticed in the house. Medical aid was im mediately called in, and every means resorted to that could preserve life ; but so great was the inroad already made on her constitution, naturally a very strong one, that all at tempts to save her were baffled, and she lingered in agony till Sunday night, when death put an end to her sufferings. On Monday afternoon Mr. M. Brown (the borough Coroner) and a respectable jury met to inquire into the cause of death, and the ipluest was adjourned to Thursday. The master of Miss Wilma has been taken into custody, and will be remanded tilt the inqUest terminates, when he will undergo an exami nation before the magistrates. THE ABSENT ONE.—(From Punch.) —No one can possibly have forgotten the immortal advertisement, ad dresied to two illustrious letters of the alphabet, of his being " earnestly implored, if he would not return to his disconso late family, to send back immediately the key of the tea caddy." Might not a similar one be addressed to Mr. Leader, drawn up in the following style ?—" Mr. John Leader, you are earnestly implored, if you will not come home to your misrepresented constituents, at all events to send back the representation of the city you have taken away with you. Please address to the Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds." POISONINGS AT THATCHA3I.—Taro children have died from poison in this parish, Thatcham, near Newbury, Berke, t since Christmas last. An inquest was held on the fret child which died, but as no suspicion arose, the jury returned a verdict of "Died a natural death." The second child died in about a fortnight after the other, and as the symptoms exhibited before death were exactly the same as in the first child, a post snortein examination was made on the body of the second child, and arsenic discovered in the stomach and intestines. The body of the child which died first has been exhumed, anti a post modem examination of the body and a chemical analysis of the contents have been wade, and arsenic again detected. A second inquest has been Consequently held over the body of the child on which tte first jury returned the verdict before-mentioned, and the inquests were adjourned from Friday last to Friday next. '1 he father of the children has been committed undec tlee coroner's warrant for further examination. The cases have excited sensation in the neighbourhood. DUNCRURCH..—INCENDIARis.M.-011 the evening of Wednesday, the 22d ult., a most atrocious attempt was made •to burn the corn and other ricks of Mr. W. Mick, of the Dun Cow Inn, and of Mr. J. Bil lir gham, of Toft, in the same parish. In Mr. ]hick's rick-yard were standing four large stacks of -wheat and other grain, in one straight line, also ricks of hay, &c. About a quarter before nine o'clock at night, it was discovered that one of the middle ricks of wheat *as on fire ; an alarm was immediately given, and it being so early in the night, a laige num ber of the inhabitants speedily assenabled, and by their united and vigorous exertions, the flames, which had done but little damage, were in a short time subdued, and the danger of further mischief removed. But whilst- all were uniting their energies to stop the progress of the fire, an alarm reached them that a wheat-stack of Mr. Billingliam, of Toft, was on fire. Very providentially, but little loss was sustained in either case. On the Friday following, it was discovered that an attempt had been n - .ade to burn a wheat-rick of Mr. W. Lawrence, of Thurlaston, in the same parish. A small hole was burnt in the rick, but (as it is supposed) before the flame was sufficiently , strong to :extend without fuel, the lucifer matches, which had been thrust into the rick, fell out, as &yen' were - found upon the ground underneath the burnt - hole in the rick. Rewards are offered in each case for the-discovery of the author of these diabolical acts.— arwich Advertiser. ROYAL BANK or SCOTIAND.—A great sensation has been produced in our city by the removal of Mr. Thomson 'from the situation of cashier to the Royal rank, which he has held for many years. It took place on Wednesday, the 22d ult., in consequence of a resolie Lion, passed unanimously, by the Directors (only one of whom was absent), and recorded in a minute, which was communicated to Mr. Thomson. He had the option of re. ti ring upon an allowance, but declined to avail himself 1 3 _! lio'eharge, we understand, was made against him connexion eminute, but simply the purpose expressed that his with the Bank should terminate. The grounds of the step taken will probably not be disclosed till the proprietors meet some weeks hence ; and, till this take place, it i s opinioa le proper that the public should suspend its transaction. The office held by Mr. Thomson is the highest in the establi,hment, and we learn that he has been a b out twenty-eight years in the bank, in this and other 1474XTRAORDINARY AND' si tuations.— Se° tsman. mit.s SUCCESSFUL S URGICAL OPE GEON,PERFORSIED Rop.sr3rAEL VETERINARY SUR- I ARMAGH, upoN PROpERTY OF Ma. —The OF AN ENOII - or TAxnaseee, 131 THE NOUS TUMOUR OF 29L8.

R., Mr. Moore's, Lisson-grove, London. explained the circumstances under which an execu tion had been put into the union workhouse at Tuam, in consequence of the guardians refusing to make a rate, and said that the Court of Queen's Bench had issued a mandamus to compel them to do their duty. In reply to Mr. BELLEW, Sir R. PEEL stated that the Earl of LL'CAN had been appointed Lord-Lieute nant of Mayo. Sir R. PEEL then announced that he should, on Fiiday next, in a Committee of Ways and Means, propose a resolution for continuing the laws which impose a tax on income in Great Britain, and the law which imposes an additional stamp duty in Ireland, fir a further limited period. He, however, refused to state what taxes he intended to remit, or to enter into any further explanation on the subject. Mr. WALLACE put a question to Sir J. GRAHAM on the subject of a recent judicial decision, delivered in Scotland, on the construction of the Weights and Measures Act, in reply to which the Right Hon. Baronet stated that that decision would shortly be brought before all the Judges in the Court of Jus ticiary. A new writ was moved for the county of Bucking ham, Mr. C. S. MURRAY, the late Member, having accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. BOUVERIE asked whether any commercial negotiations were going on with Brazil. Sir R. PEEL complained that no notice of the ques tion had been given ; and Mr. BOUVERIE gave notice of it for Monday. The House then resolved itself, pro forma, into a Committee of Supply, and Mr. HUME, in Committee, objected to voting any supply until after the financial statement should have been made. After a few words from Sir It. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the House resumed. On the motion of Mr. M. SUTTON, and after a speech from Mr. S. CRAWFORD, a Committee was appointed to inquire into the administration of the Poor-law in the Gilbert Unions. Colonel SIBTLIORP moved for a return of the num ber of days each Poor-law Commissioner had been engaged in the discharge of his duty. The Gallant Officer complained that the return had been ordered last May, but had not been made, and accused Sir J. GRAHAM of now refusing what he had before as sented to. Sir J. GRAHAM would not oppose the motion, al though, as there was no roster kept of the attendance of the Commissioners, there would be considerable difficulty in affording the information required. After a few words from Mr. F. FRENCH, the re turns were ordered. Mr. YOUNG moved to suspend, for the present ses sion, the standing order No. 103, that all petitions for private Bills be presented within twenty-one days after the first Friday in every session of Parliament. Mr. ENTWISLE at first opposed the motion, but ultimately withdrew his opposition. After the motion was carried a series of resolutions, which will be found at length in our report, were proposed and carried, for the regulation of the bring alyast Bills b us i d n u e r s i s n o g n th t e he p re p s a e p n e t r. session. n g T i h n i s o N f v l a t s a the The House adjourned at Six o'clock. MONEY and chair, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM in the vice-chair —(two Knights of the Garter) ; two or three Earls ; two or three Viscounts; two or three Barons; two or three Baronets; and some three dozen Members of Parliament ; here was surely an ample sprinkling of Magnates for the exposition to some 850 agricul turists, farmers, and others, of the principles of the society, and of the mode in which the great landed proprietors, - whoare members of it, propose to reduce thosepractical application. No such pr exposition, i cP ihowever,ies to (so far as we can find) really took place. No one of the great questions upon which the public have, within the last two years, been so successfully appealed to for their repudiation of the Bread trade monopoly was even attempted to be met. The noble and rural speakers set up absurd arguments, which they attributed to others, for the sake of controverting them, with an eye to their own especial purposes. They set up imaginary ninepins, and bowled them down with irresistible after-dinner logic. What good is to result to the tenant• farmer—what benefit to the agricultural labourers, and farm-servant—from the institution or action of this protective society, was a demonstration that does not seem to have been considered essential to the business of the evening. The tone of the speeches and character of the proceedings were marked by flatness and insipidity, which, not even the " enthusiastic cheering" said to have been accorded to some very mediocre speaking, from very high places at this festival, can conceal from the observation of any one who may have carefully perused the report. We do not mean to affirm, how ever, that nothing was said by anybody which was either well said or good in itself—valuable on its own account, or important in its bearing on other parties and other interests. On the contrary, we have lighted upon some important " admissions" from the land lords, to which the tenants will be foolish men, indeed, if, in all time to come, they do not hold them. But we cannot forbear a previous allusion to the almost ludicrous resentment with which Lord BEAUMONT spoke of the defection of the present Premier's Ca binet from the cause of " agricultural protection." The Noble Lord declared "he could scarcely contain the anger with which he mentioned the introduc tion, by the very Minister whoa' that interest had borne into power, of the' last Corn Bill and the Tariff." It is obvious, therefore, that Lord BEAU MONT'S support of Sir ROBERT PEEL must have been founded on the least selfish—nay, on the most disin terested grounds ! and he has been sadly disappointed in his expectations. For the same reasons he fell foul of the Canada Corn Bill, as the most mischievous which " the' Minister could have introduced." The " unkindest cut of all," however, " that which he had least expected from the Adminis tration" was, the " Grinding Corn in Bond Bill,"—a measure, too, the more shabby in that they had pre viously opposed and rejected Mr. HTJTT'S Bill for effecting a similar object in a plainer and more direct manner.—Plain speaking has always charms for us, even though it be heard somewhat late in the course of a controversy. In this instance it may not be com plimentary to the party, but it is instructive, as well as amusing to the public.—Lord BEAUMONT'S alarms are not yet appeased ; from " straws which have been already thrown up," he remarked, " some measure might be anticipated this session, from the same quarter, which would still further diminish the pro tection of the agriculturist." For our parts, we are anxious to see what it will be. The three topics which strike us as having been the best handled at this dinner were those as to which we can go further towards concurring with the views of the speakers. First, "as to the tenant-far mers of the country at large, after the example of Essex, having originated the question of the neces sity for protection to agriculture," on the ground that it is not exclusively a landlords' question ; we think they have done well. In this way they are led to look into the whole matter; to study and analyze the real elements of their real interest in it; and we anti cipate the best effects from such examinations and discussions. Secondly, Mr. BAKER, of Writtle, ob served, that " looking to the amount of taxation in this country, protection was necessary for the British agriculturists ; at least, something must be done, either to increase prices or diminish taxation "—and this sentiment was echoed by other speakers, at a subsequent stage of the proceedings. We dissen from Mr. BAKER on the first part of his proposition ot ou r Sir remed ialßOßEßT treatment PEEL form themust t evil recastwouldhi bethe s (of which he speaks but doubtingly, himself). We entirely concur with him in the second ; and we doubtn same. currency measures. The monetary system must be re-established on its former • more safe, more expansive, more economical, more productive, more beneficial, more self-adjusting basis of paper. The costly mistake of giving the country a circulation of intrinsic, instead of symbolic value, must be rectified. With that re establishment, high prices for the manufacturer and agriculturist ; high wages for the artisan and the rustic labourer; energy and development for foreign and domestic trade, will at once return. The third, and most speeches delivered, was, remarkable declarations in h own s e go i th m a pr t t h a e n y t r e e li s e u i l t t ed of s t o h m e e many favour of the equitable title of the tenant to partici yfohrinit.he meridian of Drayton declarations stewardshipwere pate in the advantage s of hi T s Manor, or for the adm ir ation of large landowners, o n f ot th w e e l l and le s al r e e u n la te te d d b whose properties are leased to the highest bidder, without regard to other pretensions than price, or allotted to tenants-at-will, or under very short terms determinable—by the landlords---at very short notices. It is gratifying to find, however, such wise and en lightened views of the consideration due to the tenant as those announced in the following passages by Mr. Mims, of Engord, Wilts, and by Mr. SOTHE RON, M.P., and by the Duke of RICHMOND. Mr. MILLs said : "As an extensive landlord himself, and speaking among extensive landlords, be was anxious to enforce the propriety and advantage of offering permanent improvements, and so increase the quantity of consumable food to" be - raised. He would wish to see this method substituted in place of remis sions of five or ten per cent. of the rent. The capital so in vested was always returned, while these per-centages, when the tenant got them into his coffers, he often scarcely knew what to do with them." Mr. SOTHERON, M.P., thus followed : " He would venture to say, he had no doubt that the re commendation they had heard that evening would be gene rally adopted, and the landlords would cast off all trumpery attempts to patch up a bad bargain, but would meet their tenants fairly in the face and say, We are both in the same boat, let us make the best of it.' He trusted landlords would not put up farms to tender—(Loud cheers)—and when expe rience had shown that rent and taxes could not be paid, come forward and offer a paltry average of reductions."—(Cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND declared that— ,' There could not be a doubt that the landlords of England could trust their tenants; he knew it from his knowledge of the tenantry, and he declared that he would rather lose every acre he possessed than let his farms by tender."—(Vehement cheering.) These are important testimonies and pledges—late though they come—to the true character and rights and relations of the tenant. If the dinner of the Agri cultural Protection Society had been productive even of positive harm, we could excuse much, on ac count of avowals like these. rrtiE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the 1 ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character it has hitherto obtained of furnishing to its readers, and with the greatest minuteness of detail, the EARLIEST and MOST EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE of POLITICAL and PUBLIC MOVEMENTS, from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION. The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, the Church, Taxa tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici pation, to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with the policy of its own friends but with the intentions of the Govern ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation A the official organs, must be self-evident to all. In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle" is of larger size than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the best Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more careflilly selected reading, as well in Genera Literature, Fashion, Science, and the Drama, as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than any other Weekly Journal.

The decision of the Government on the question relative to railway schemes, rejected by the Com mittee of Investigation appointed by the Board of Trade, appears to have been on Thursday universally acquiesced in by the House. We cannot say that the debate, which was thus elicited by the speech of Lord HOWICK of Wednesday evening, at all satisfies the misgivings we have so often expressed as to the beneficial working of the Committee. On the contrary, it has gone far to confirm them ; and we perceive that Mr. WAKLEY and other Hon. Members concur in similar apprehensions. It is very true that Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, who is a shrewd and earnest public functionary, and an excellent man of business, declared " that it never was the intention of the Government, nor, as far as he under stood their sentiments, of the House, to render tie decisions of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade final or conclusive." His Lordship added, too, that although he would be disposed to receive the reports of these five gentle men with a certain degree of respect and deference, he should never consider himself tied down, by the terms or the effect of such reports, to concur in them, either as the representative of a constituency, or of a Government department, or as an individual Member of the House of Commons. But what was the Noble Lord's reply to a well-timed and very reasonable question addressed to him by Colonel SIB THORP ? The gallant officer, in allusion to certain rumours which had got abroad, but in which he dis claimed any belief, desired to know whether any of the gentlemen comprising this Committee were, in any way, directly or indirectly, themselves connected with railway speculations ? Lord G. SOMERSET'S reply amounted only to this : _ " That the parties most interested in the proceedings be fore the Railway Board had always, so far as he knew, ex pressed themselvee as exceedingly satisfied with the candour and intelligence with which their schemes had been discussed. As to whether any of the Committee held shares in any railway, he really could give his Hon. and Gallant Friend no information ; but he was quite sure that, if they followed his advice, they would get rid of all their shares in such undertakings, if they had any, as soon:as:they possibly could." It is to be lamented that the Noble Lord was not in a condition enabling him to give a most distinct and unqualified, negative to Colonel SIBTRORP'S query. For our own parts, we cannot, for a moment, believe that any member of this Committee could be guilty of the indiscretion and bad taste of remaining at its board, if he knew himself to possess any such personal interest in undertakings identical with, or analogous to, those on the expediency or necessity of which the Committee has been constituted prelimi narily to report. To talk of their now " getting rid" of any such shares, if they have any, is no way to get rid of the incalculable degree of odium they will have incurred, by having adjudicated on the fate of similar and perhaps conflicting property in the hands of others. Though we are far from believing that any member of the Committee can have so far committed himself, it has surely become necessary that he should from this day record some public and distinct disclaimer of any such interest in himself. If he cannot do so, indeed, then every report he has been a party to must be considered to have been tainted by a vicious bias. Another important consi deration, powerfully urged by Mr. WAKLEy, who we suppose will not allow the matter to sleep where the discussion has left it, was, that there was clearly some system in action by which early secret information was conveyed of the decisions of this remarkable Committee on pending schemes, to favoured parties, who made their market of such " exclusive intelli gence." The Hon. Member alluded to the prevalent rumour, " that some private information must have been communicated in the market, or certain parties would not have made such enormous sums of money as they were said to have gained during the last few weeks." And he distinctly added 1 " This was quite clear, that eertain parties in the City (he had had this information that morning) who had been en gaged in the sale of railway shares, happened to have been right in their speculations, and not wrong in one instance, for several weeks past.—(Hear.) One gentleman, on Saturday se'nnight, made 40,000/. by the sale of shares in that single day, those shares having gone up from a small premium to 91. or 101. in the course of a few hours." If Sir ROBERT PEEL " really could not tell" how newspapers get hold of reports of Commissions ap pointed by Government, before their promulgation. we must suppose he might as well be sleeping on the margin of the Polar Ocean as in Whitehall gardens, for any knowledge he can obtain of mal-practices like these. But what won der they should prevail, when, as Mr. WAKLEY observed, the proceedings, evidence, and arguments on these railway projects, are with closed doors, now that they are remitted to this Board of Trade management, instead of, as heretofore, being open to the public. What is the meaning of this alteration ? In spite of all Mr. GLADSTONE could urge, the fact is significant. Coupled with the manner in which information oozes out of this new and hermetically sealed court to certain " wise men in the East," we do not hesitate to say it is suspicious. We call upon Mr. WAKLEY, Colonel SIBTHORP, and other Hon- Members, to pursue their wholesome inquisitiveness a little further. Who knows but the showman's an cient denouement is at hand, and that "we shall see what we shall see !" In the speeches delivered at the " grand dinner" of the Agricultural Protection Society for Great Bri tain and Ireland, which came off on Monday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, we perceive that Noble Dukes and Right Honourable Earls, Honourable County Members, and " intelli g ent tenant-farmers," expe -1 p ti l a a t u e s d ib lar ie g g e e l u y e irnatolit i al e l a k . i l nd h s e of b vague, of E e, cor cu m a o l n o= plac i e n , and Our Madrid letters, of the 30th ult., received by this ex press, bring no news.

PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. —It appears from a Parliamentary Paper just issued, that the amount of money raised in the year ending the sth of January, 1845, by the creation of Funded Debt, was 18,844,0001. Of this, 18,348,3001. was raised on Exchequer-bills, and charged on Supplies. The remainder was charged on the Consolidated Fund. The amount of Exchequer bills issued for the promotion of public works, and in cluded in the Funded Debt, was 14,000/. The excess of Income over Expenditure for the year amounts to the large sum of 3,356,105/. Bs. 2d. ; a nd the Balances in the Exchequer on the sth o January, 1845, to 6,254,113/. 9s. 6id.

Notwithstanding the reserve exhibited by Sir Robert Peel last night, on the subject of the Scotish Banking question, not a doubt is entertained but that a bold measure will be in troduced for the purpose of placing the banking system upon an uniform principle in all parts of her Majesty's dominions, as far as respects the United Kingdom. But there are a few who think that a certain probation time, if we may use the term, will be allowed be fore the change will take place; thus affording the most ample opportunities to make full announcements for any change that mar occur hereafter. The English Securities generally are firmer to-day. Con sols realise 99% 3 /4 for Money, and 99 3 % % for Account. Bank Stock is 214 to 213 1 / 2 , and India Stock 281 to 282, both of these being lower, but especially the latter. New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 10344 %. Exchequer bills have been unsteady at 555. to 625. premium. The new loan for St. Domingo, of which the allotments, however, are not yet issued, has been done at 1 premium. The Foreign Market has been very dull. A copy of the Dutch decree of the 3d instant, completing the conversion of the old Five per Cents., has been handed to us by Messrs. Raphael, from which it appears that the holders of the un drawn stock, presenting it at Amsterdam before the 26th instant, will be paid off on Ist March, with interest to date; but that, if they do not give notice, their stock will be re duced to Four per Cents., at 99, with interest from Ist Oc tober last. Spanish Active Bonds are 27%, and the Three per Cents. 40 3 / 4 to %. Portuguese Converted are 59 to %. Columbian realise 14%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per - Centr. are 62% to 63. The Share Market has been in an animated state to-day, The authorised list of quotations will show the variations that have taken place. The accounts by the Overland Mail from India are of very little interest. The private letters will be delivered, it is expected, to-morrow. OWE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

Her Majesty's stag hds., Mon., Thorpe Green ; Fr viz. :- BRUSSELS, Fes. 4 —The Seune rising considerably, and an inundation of the surrounding country is expected, in consequence of the melting of the snow, and the rain that has fallen. Public attention is directed to several proposed railways, of which L'Eutre, Sambre, and Meuse is the most important. It is still seriously contemplated to prolong this railway to Rheims. Very influential persons in France are ready to support this project to the utmost of their power. It is believed that a royal ordinance will soon appear, authorising the construction of the first section on the French territory. The prolongation to Rheims is to be the subj ct of a special project of law, THE HAGUE, Faa. 3.—His Excellency the Minister of Finanee gave notice that the sixth series of obligations of the national debt, at i per cent., to be repaid, was to be drawn by lot the day before yesterday, conformably to the royal resolution of the 16th and 28th of January last.

ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICUTURAL SOCIETY. —The adjourned annual meeting of this Society was held on Thursday, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, when a very full attendance of members attested the interest felt in the science of floriculture. The shows for the forthcoming year were fixed as follows :—April 23d, at the Horns Tavern ; May 21st, June 25th, July 23d, and Sept. 17th, at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens. The May show is a new feature in the proceedings of this Society, and has been determined upon by the Committee to give the opportunity of exhibition to a very numerous class of productions hitherto unable to be shown. The Society was stated already to be in posses sion of money to the extent of 160/., to be devoted to prizes; and, as a very large accession of members is expected, the operations of this year will be on a more extended scale. There are no gardens around London superior to the Royal Surrey ; and the very great improvements made in them since the close of last season give additional facilities for floricultural display. PRINCE PUCKLER MUSKAU AND MEHEMET ALI. —These two celebrities have never been seen under cir cumstances calculated to excite so strong a personal interest as in the details of a journey made by them, to gether, into Upper Egypt, narrated by the Prince, in his new work, entitled, " Egypt under Mehemet Ali." Neither has the " Napoleon of the East" ever been de scribed under so favourable an aspect. There is scarcely a topic of interest connected with his extraordinary and unparalleled career, on which he does not, in the confi dence of social intercourse, disclose his most secret thoughts and views, no less as regards the future than the present and the past. The narrative is, altogether, one of great interest. In pointing it out to the pu die attention, it is necessary to state that this portion of the Prince's new work is accessible to the English reader only through the translation published by Mr. Colburn.

DALHOUSIE. C. W. PASLEY. G. R. PORTER. D. O'BRIEN. S. LAING. NEW RAILWAYS. (From the Time? City Article.) ed in t" Among the parties interested in new railways what Wa r ., t ate; debate of last night on the subject has engaged very genet ' .. yroal tion. Previously to any decisions by the Board of Trade , a h‘s t eses s caution was thrown out under this head, that they shoul d :; e i public in such a manner as to leave no suspicion that diselet fi s- tege been made, by which one set of speculators might take ad v " - h eeetn e s , another set, and the bona fide holders, or those intending 1 °.,4d so, sustain a positive injury. The mode adopted by the er Trade, in publishing their decisions in the Gazette; would Wrote; have beeirperfectly suited to that purpose ; but as the fad ee rble: come known to the dealers in railway Shares, which maY aree tt b e also by a reference to the current quotations of the re bargains to a large extent have been made in the e e " web s ways shortly previous to the decisions ste eee , ile e L and in a manner to reap the benefit of W w ;000' Sioll3, it is assumed at the Stock-Exchange, - as we itse JO° hinted, that the secret must have transpired. The reproach "40 et transactions dues not, however, necessarily fall on those lit e % o w the Board of Trade who have taken a part in the decisi ons are ifr tion. The ingenuity of speculators, where such large Pr e ttpect o „ voived, might prove an over-match for the utmost circe c odes they could use. Hence it has become necessary that the h eel hitherto exercised should be increased, and that no Pera e e 1 1: boar s , a except the members of the Board, should know, untu set eett,se business at the Stock-Exchange are over, what the anitee n ,7 o , to be in the Gazette of that evening. Another atiet s t se r S,':"; of less interest than that just described, cornices'. des' the Board of Trade, is, the degree in which t i e; tber e e 's sions arely likely to influence those of Parliament itself, wh eter speetive Bills are introduced. From the well-known e11,79,0,-,, some of the members of the Board, for judgment as tve•!' ette a W e ' tegrity, its to he inferred that their decisions, especiallY " h oe proceed to give the reasons Whleh have guided them, lon, st ,be - t siderable weight ; but it is not deemed the less essentia l w n oat s; time should be obtained, agreeably to the suggeStions thro Lord Howick, for bringing in railway Bills, placed under n o t rtes liar circumstances. Such is the excitement at present Ito 141, e s speculators in railway shares, that barg,ains are made long "'Ater '„f coffee-houses and other places of resort in the City, ~00'e. conclusion of business at:the Stock-Exchange.

It is impossible not to feel the importance of the siabjectsr,oooll3oo by Lord Howick in the debate on the railway decisions of 7 - 110 of Trade ; for, whatever may be the nominal duties or b bs , be . L, powers of the Board, the practical effect of their deels,l e e sell;t0 to throw into the scale so great a weight, that the reit ' flc ,ol l 7 es te appear thenceforth unable to continue the contest, and 1 7,1„ d i a• they disappear Irons the Money Market ; while the (ay e- f 1- 10 0 are regarded as if they had already received the sanction eel , meat.
