SPI RIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Public opinion in favour of a Liberal Cabinet and an. enlightened ministerial policy continues to be dis played in numerous addresses to the Crown from the new Town Councils of England and Wales. We are not surprised that these documents are odious in the eyes of Tory Journalists, because 'diey prove that the majority of these bodies is ctecidedFe liberal, conse quently that the princir. l .es of the popUlous and wealthy incorporated commemities which return them are also liberal. This proof of the universal prevalence of li beral- principles disposes most satisfactorily of the boasted " re-action "of the public mind. Before the Elections the Country Press in the Tory inte rest was filled with p re di ct i ons o f the certain triumph of their party ; and on the non-fulfilment of their predictions, it was amusing to see the ingenious writers torturie,sl their ingenuity to account for their defeat, gi.einc 'vent to their spleen in vulgar abuse of their opponents. The rare exceptions to the almost universal sue ces,, of the Reformers in the municipal elections %%ere trumpet:A forth hy the Conservative Press as an indescrihabk: triumph. Several corpora tions, however, were falsely claimed for the anti-Re formers. Last week we published addresses from Ox ford, Norwich, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Canterbury, Coventry, Maldon, Dartmouth, Walsall, Colchester, and Ludlow. In those Corporations, recently garri soned by self-elect Tories, the Reformers have ousted the enemy, and now possess the municipal citadels with all the power and authority of local government. We this day publish addresses from the Town Coun cils of Cambridge, Carmarthen, Wycombe, Gateshead, Leeds, Lincoln, Maidenhead, Nottingham, Sudbury, Warwick, and Worcester. We believe that with one exception, Nottingham, the ex-Corporators in all these places were rank Tories. Has there been a " re-ac tion in that town in favour of Conservatism, when the Municipal Reform Bill allowed the tax-payers at large the opportunity of choosing local represen tatives ? No ; Nottingham still continues libe ral and free. Although, by the new law, their late noble and enlightened recorder, Lord Holland, ceases to fill that office, the first act of the new Council was to vote an address of confidence in Ministers, and to commit its presentation to his Lordship by a lar ge majority of votes. Nottingham has long been foremost in the support of liberal go vernment ; leut one sentence in this particular address, from a municipal body comprehending many influen tial Dissenters, we must quote, as a strong confirma tion that the " No Popery ' cry is seen through as a Tory imposture, and that enlightened Protestant Dis senters do not confound the reform of the Irish Church with a subversion of the Protestant faith. The address approves of theeMinistetial policy, and "es pecially that relating to Ireland and the regulations proposed as to the ecclesiastical policy of that part of the United Kingdom." We are not astonished that these documents should be so unpalatable to our Tory Contemporaries. The Standard of Saturday evening, in order to explain away the effect, attributes. the "getting up" of these addresses to one individual ; and, with a view of detracting from their force, boldly states that such addresses have generally been carried by a very small ma jority." The country papers and letters wleich were sent to us along with these documents enable us to call on our Contemporary to substitute some other detraction for this, as the facts do not bear him out. In Cambridge the Address was - unanimously voted ; in Gateshead similar unanireity prevailed in the Coun cil, every member being ",resent. The Wycombe Ad dress was unanimousl:i passed, as was that from the Reformed Corporatio n of the important county town of Worcester. The Leeds Address represents nearly the entire Council : the Warwick all, with the excep tion of one Councilman. Even Carmarthen, the sink of municipal corruption, is redeemed from its local misgovernment. In Sunderland, pompously claimed by the Tories, who in this instance " reckoned without their host," a similar address, of which we have yet no copy, was voted in a Council of 51, only four hands being held up against it I So much at present for these demonstrations of public sentiment. We do not doubt that we shall soon add to their number. But we shall hereafter give better proof. of the " doings" of the new Town Councils. They are set ting to work in good earnest, determined to make good use of their newly acquired power. \Ve shall hereafter demonstrate the inestimable value, having ample proofs before us, of a legislative measure which will give life and energy to the reform of the Representative System, effected in 1832 ; and which will speedily root out all the scandalous abuses so long nurtured and impu dently defended by the Self-Elect. In the meantime, we shall only notice the honourable sentiment expressed in some of these Addresses in favour of Irish Corpo rate Reform, which eannot but be grateful, and comes seasonably in aid of the municipal emancipation of the sister island.—eaforning Chronicle. In another part of our Journal will be found the fullest and most correct report which has hitherto ap peared of the proceedings which took place at the en tertainment given to Mr. O'Connell in the Queen's County. An anxiety to lay the best information be fore our readers induced us to make arrangements for receiving the report direct from our correspondent, who attended expressly on the occasion. The account will be read with great interest. Above twenty thou sand persons assembled to escort Mr. O'Connell into Stradbally, and having heard his speech and satisfied their curiosity, quietly dispersed in the most orderly and peaceable manner. This fact is the more worthy of remark, as, until the present Ministry came into office, the Queen's County was the most disturbed of any in Ireland ; but a confidence in the Government has now dissolved the illegal associa tions, and directed the attention of the people to seek by constitutional means a redress of their grievances. We confess our gratification at finding Mr. O'Con nell himself confirming, ice the most distinct and decisive terms, the opinions which we have been so much assailed for maintaining in respect to the sup port which he has given to the Ministry. " They " have not coalesced with me," said he, " but Uhave " coalesced with them." This is the plain fa: et O f t h e case. While Ministers pursue a great air,' reforming olicy Mr. O'Connell cannot withho 1 4 his support without the utter forfeiture of his cr ern influence, and the withdrawal of the confidence w' fl i c ih his countrymen repose in him. This is the onl,r bond of alliance. To accomplish great political chareps, we must not be too fas tidious in the instruments Ye-e,ich we use. Mr. O'Con nell may be a powerful histrument of good or evil— and those who are norm I ..oudest against the Ministry for accepting his sup;,orb, were they who were the most ready to avail tl-,err,selves of his services when it suited their own vile p , ;irposes. It is for the wiseacres of the House of Lords to find seasons for rejecting good measures - in Mr. O'Connell's support of them. We are read to accept every man's exertions in the cause of Reform ; and while Mr. O'Connell demands but just;.ee for Ireland, we shall not only reiterate his sen tiraents, but reciprocate his efforts to attain it..— .. Uorning Advertiser. " We are now upon an eventful period. We had much work to do last Session, but much remains still to be done." These words were addressed by Mr. Spring Rice to the Reformers assembled at the late dinner in Cambridge, and may be taken as an evidence that the Ministry, while aware of the opposition they will have to overcome, are determined to respond to the just claims of the country, and pursue to their consum imation the measures of Reform which are now become as essential to the peace as they have ever been to the welfare of the State. This evidence in favour of the intentions of the Ministry is further confirmed by the allusions which the Right Honourable Gentleman made to the leading measuresproposed to be introduced in the approaching Session. These are—Reform of the Irish Corporations—Removal of the Dissenters' g r ievances—Reform of the Irish Church, including a better appropriation of its unnecessary tvealth—Re form in the Courts of Equity—and an equitable ad justment o f the English Tithe System. These great and important questions would have been satisfac torily settled. 4 rnre this, were it not that the usurpa tion of -offi.ce WP-4'-Nories, and the inveterate hostiltdrof the House of i rovement, and frittered by • ' id away, intrigue al frau uleut pretences, in thf last Session, the time whic - would otherwise ha 1 t 9f - 'l.ords, delayed the progress v,., been devoted to the , amendment of our laws. However, the evil will re coil upon its instigators. The House of Commons has declared, and the people will never suffer a com promise of that declaration, that none but Reformers, not merely , profec7 ;e d, or soi-disant Reform::,, , hut Reformers - in spirit and in trtio - , , sha ll its 'support or confidence, Ti m AsefiSatt, iniquitous conduct of the 11.eitA 4 I:cirds, 'has duced an exciteineclt whk-ik ena We tinctinn of hereditary legiSlatiot. the*, d tOnse ! qualms . ivhich the enethies Cl\ e people have drawn aim themselves: 11 intrie,ue which effected the dismissal 'of Melbourne Ministry, atd ty,;. to pack a Tory majority in te k*:;‘,‘,BB of Commons by eorrupt influenre IA the election, while they served to brifvOgnominy and execration upon their author,' l , V; owed to the people the necessity . of Constant vigiAance and exertion. Hereditary legislation, absurd and monstrous as the principle is, might have enjoyed its dotage undisturbed, hut for the mischievous and dangerous tendencies it exhibited, which have proved it to be incompatible with the amelioration of out stitutions. The intensity with which public opinion may press for its abolition, or restraint, will be regu lated by the opposition, for assistance is not to be ok , pected, which the Lords will give to the met:slices of reform which we have enumerated. 'Chat these mea sures will be full aria satisfactory.--4he reforms hitherto proposed and effected by the Administration give us every reason to expect and believe ;—that the Mi nistry will stand or fail by them is not to be doubted ; it is as much a matter of necessity as of choice—but whether the measures be mutilated, or the Ministry displaced, must depend on the support which both may receive from the people,. We collfide in the Ministry, but tee must depend upon ourselves. It was not the principle from within, but the pressure from without, which reformed the House of Commons ; and it is the same pressure which must urge on Re form through our other Institutions. Never was there a more favourable prospect opened to the country than at present. The Court convinced of the necessity of Reform--the Ministry identified with its success—the Tories divided amongst themselves, their purses ex hausted, and their patronage curtailed ;—our Muni cipal Institutions renovated—our trade improving— finances flourishing. It only rests with the people themselves to go on and prosper--and great as the glory of England has been, its meridian is yet to come ;—the fame of our victories over foreign enemies will be eclipsed by the triumphs we shall achieve over domestic oppression, and the strw*,:ure of our indepen dence consolidated by Refo7n, and beautified by po pular freedom, will star; a monument for the imitation of admiring nations.—lii orning Advertiser. J SALE OF THE CHURCHES. TO THE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL. SIR,— As the Municipal Reform Act has decided that all the Corporation Churches shall be sold, I beg to draw your attention to the matter. My object in doing so is, that you may be induced, in conjunction with the rest of the Council, to take measures to accelerate, if possible, the pro posed sale. Of course you, are aware, that if any of the Churches should become vacant before it is effected, the presentlion falls to the Bishop. In such a case, should a yomig man obtain possession of them, their value in the sou/ market would be considerably deteriorated. As, there fore, it is ordained by Act of Parliament, that they, and we who sit therein, body and soul, must be disposed of to the highest bidder, the sooner it is done the better. For the sake of the public purse, I trust your Worship will take the hint I have ventured to give, and for the public edification, I hope you will contrive to let the sale take place here. I have seen Winstanley knock down most things in my day, that is, amicably in the way of business ; but it will be quite a novelty to see him putting up St. Peter's or St. Nicholas's Church to auction. Even in this country, where everything may be had for money, I never expected to see the day when Rector Brooks and Rector Campbell would be sold off as Corporation lumber. I hope all the former's law books and the latter's pamphlets are to be thrown into the bargain to the purchaser. But joking apart, let us have the sale forthwith for the sake of the money.--I am, &c. A PARISHIONER. DIED.—At Baldwiek, on Monday, the 18th of January, Mrs. Susannah Cecil Hampson, in the 75th year of her age, formerly of Great Westward, in the county of Hartford. This lady's death was occasioned by the acci dental fracture of the thigh-bone, on Monday, November 30, 1835. BERKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.— An agricultural meeting was held at Newbury, on Thurs day, for the formation of a Berkshire Agricultural Asso ciation. Mr. Mount was in the Chair, and after a long discussion, in which Mr. E. Tull, Mr. Goddard, Mr. Pal mer, M.P., Mr. Walter, M.P., Captain Dundas, and other Gentlemen took part, resolutions were passed for the forma tion of the Association, and for uniting with the Central Association in London, " as far as co-operating with them in any measure that the Committee may consider as bene ficial to the agricultural interest." Madras Papers to the 4th of October have arrived. The rains continued very heavy, and some parts of the country were seriously flooded. Accounts have been re ceived of the wreck of the brig Strec Jugadeeswora Swamy, on the sth of September, about eight miles north of Bimlipatam. There were 42 persons on board, all of whom perished excepting one Lascar, who succeeded in reaching the shore, after having been two days on a plank. Ensign Charles Hoseason, of the 50th Madras Infantry, is the only Englishman whose name is mentioned amongst the sufferers. The advices from Calcutta reached to the 14th of September. Sir Henry Fane, the new Commander-in- Chief, had arrived there, and been sworn into office. Various decrees had been issued respecting the circulation of the new coin in India, but the substance of them has already been given. Several lacs of rupees had already been struck off, and were ready for issue, but it was not the intention of the Government to change the money of account in the public offices until the Ist of May. The new rupee bears on the one side the effigy of the King of England, with the words " William IV., King," and on the other the value of the coin, both in English and Persian, surrounded by a wreath of laurels, and around the edge, " East India Company, 185." The price of the 6 per Cents. remittable loan at Calcutta, No. 808 and upwards, was 19 to 20 premium ; old .5 per Cents. loan, Ist class, 8 to 4 discrjunt ; old 4 per Cent. loan, 4 to 2 dis count ; and 1 3 ,ank of Ben?al shares, 6,000 to 6,500 prem. The cin.btation of Spanish pillar dollars per 100, was 207,4 to 207.8 ; Mexican ditto, 206.8 to 206.12 ; Peru ( v;:an ditto, 206.4 to 206.8 ; old standard gold mohurs, 16.12 to 16.13 each, and new standard ditto, 16.1 to 16.2. Bills on the Court of Directors, at 12 months' date, were Is. 'lid. tc 2s. per rupee ; private bills on London, 6 months' sight, 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per rupee. LIVERPOOL CORPORATION.—We have received, at the very moment we were going to press, the following piece of most extraordinary intelligence, with regard to the conduct of the late Corporation. Our readers may de pend upon its being official. The public are aware that a portion of the outlay for the building of the new Custom- House is defrayed by Government. A part of this, we believe the sum of 23,0001., is due this month (January). It appears, from our information, that in December, be fore they went out of office, the old Corporators attempted, by petitions, by deputations, in every possible way, to an ticipate and get hold of this money. Of course, they did not succeed. But for what object, let us ask, and we are sure the public will ask with us, for what end did they so anxiously strive ? Why were they so utltent to linger the cash on this occasion ? The whole affair is " strange and Passing strange." This is only one thing ; there is MOMS to come out yet.—Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday. DEATH FROM BURNING.—On Wednesday even ing last, an old woman, above eighty years of age, residing inEdgeley, was accidentally burnt to death whilst left alone in the house. It appeared that her daughter, with whom she lived, had gone into an adjoining house, leaving a little girl with her, who subsequently went out for a short time, • and during her absence the accident occurred. The in mates of the next house, perceiving a smell of fire, repaired thither to ascertain the cause, when they found the Unfelt , tunate old woman I)ing upon the floor, literally burnt to a cinder. It is supposed that her dress caught the flames whilst sitting too near the fire. Medical aid was promptly on the spot, but of course of no avail.--Stockport Advertiser, SHERIDAN KNOWLES.—This gentleman arrived in Glasgow on Wednesday forenoon, by the Eagle steamer, from Liverpool, after an excellent passwie of eighteen hours.

Mr. O'Gorman Mahuilproceeded to add r ess the Court. He gad, in riiMuance of the instructions of the Court, confined himself to the facts of the assault. He contended that tile affidavits of Mr. John Roland Ottiwell arid his solieitor (Mr. Bashara) fully corroborated that filed by liimself4 and which substantiated the fail, that he Yva§ essatilted and intuited from behind, in the first inStancei by a persoii wheat he did not know, hk't. A•ho AiWrtvatag turned orit id be the prosecutor. hose eitcumStances, coupled with the of the trial having ems on at a much earlici• than he had anticipated, by which he was lireVerdeA doom tendering evidence in his de fence, Yrdilit., trusted, satisfy the Court that he was en. kitlvA to a new trial. None of the allegations contained in his affidavit h a d b een d en i e d b y t h e prosecutor, who, in his an swering affidavit, had merely stated that they were irrelevent. Mr. Mahon then proceeded to detail a variety of circum stances connected with an arrest by the prosecutor, at the suit of Alr. Samuel Grierson, for a sum of 550/., although the affidavit filed by Grierson set out that he (O'Gorman Mahon) did not owe Grierson a sixpence, and that every thing done by the prosecutor had been without his (Otierson's) Sanction or knowledge: tit (oTiorrnah Mahon) had sustained a va riety of persebution s from the tii , o,kiitdf, had cost him between 4,0001. and . 4,600 f. although, from the affidavit now before the Oolbi'i thtli Lordships would see that he ( - o'Gor- Mali Mahon) did rot owe a guinea to any man in England. Lord DENMAN intimated that, although some of these cir cumstances might not be inapplicable, the defendant should now consider himself as speaking in mitigation of punishment. O'Gorman Mahon understood that the argument was as to the propriety of a new trial. Although his position was thus altered, their Lordships might satisfy themselves that not one word in mitigation, nor not one expression of regret should he utter for what he had done. He should be uncandid if he did so, and although it might bring upon him the anger of the Court, he feared he should be compelled to add that, un der similar circumstances, he should act again in the same way. If the Court thought he had 'acted improperly, let it visit him with whatever punishment he merited ; but so far from being' the aggressor, he contended that he was the in jured party. Mr. Mahon then entered into a very lengthened detail of pecuniary transactions, and what had occurred at the time the assault occurred. Lord DENMAN interrupted the defendant, by observing that the Court was of opinion the justice of the case would be met by ordering him to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of 500/. to keep the peace to the prosecutor, and two collateral sureties in the sum of 1001. each.

Miss Coleman and her family were, in consequence, subjected to all kinds of the annoyances from the defendant and his three sons, who had been repeatedly taken before the Magistrates and held to bail ; but, these means failing, the complainant was compelled to come to the Sessions for protection. He knew not what answer his Learned Friend had to give, but something terrible might be expected, for the defen dant had threatened when before the Magistrate at the Police-office, that he would employ a Counsel at the Ses , sions who should" wop the witals out of Miss Coleman, and frighten her into fits."—(Great laughter.) Mr. BODKIN (laughingly)—That is an exaggeration of my Learned Friend's. Defendant only undertook that his Counsel should frighten her into fits.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. Phillips—But here I have it in black and white, a printed copy of the police report. Mr. BODKIN—The " wopping out the witals" must be a mistake of the reporters. After much humorous talk, pro and con., the black charge was finally disposed of by the defendant pleading Guilty, paying Miss Louisa Coleman for the injury done her new gown, and entering into a recognizance to appear and receive judgement whenever required. The CHAIRMAN assured him if the annoyances were con tinued he might depend upon it the Court would punish him severely. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Byers, the informer, brought Mr. Thomas Perry, pastry cook, No. 362, Oxford-street, before Mr. CHAMBERS, on an information charging him with having infringed the 27 Geo. 111. by putting up twelfth cakes by lottery, whereby a penalty of 2004 had been incurred. Mr. Wooler, who attended on behalf of the defendant, took an objection to the indictment by denying the juris diction pf the Magistrate. A more recent Act, the 46 Geo. HI., had taken away the power from Magistrates, and confined it to the Attorney-General. i Byers contended that the matter in " Burn's Justice" had been left doubtful. Magistrates had jurisdiction in cases like the present, and he could cite a case in point, the King v. Liston. In the present case, though twelfth cakes were the only prizes, there were upwards of 1,500 tickets, and that to all intents and purposes constituted a lottery. It was true the Magistrate's jurisdiction had been partially taken away, but only as far as regarded State lotteries. Private lotteries were still under controul. Mr. CHAMBERS referred to the case of the King v. Liston, and on looking at the date told Byers that it had been decided before the 46th Geo. 111. had passed, and therefore could not operate in the present matter. The Magistrate then read the clauses of the two Acts named, and gave it as his opinion that the latter took away the jurisdiction of the Bench. It was a question of some im portance, for if the informer was right then every putter up of a raffle, in the manner that had been nightly done for years at the different watering-places, would be equally liable to the large penalty. Had the question been open, informers long before this would have taken advantage of it. Byers said he had laid several informations on the same point, but he had never been able to get a decision on their merits, as they had been all dismissed on technical objec tions. He wished to know on what ground the Bench re fused to entertain the present information ? Mr. CHAMBERS—I dismiss this information because I am of opinion you are not the person who can bring the information according to the clause of the 46th Geo. 111. The information was then dismissed. STATUE OF JAMES WATT.—WC find we were in error last week, in stating that it is a copy in marble, of the monument to Watt in Westminster Abbey, which the Manchester committee propose to erect. What is really contemplated is a copy of the marble monument by Chan trey, which has been placed in the parish church of Hands worth, near Birmingham, and which is considered as perhaps the very finest work of the artist. The subscription we are glad to learn is proceeding very favourably.—Man chester Guardian. CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—We are sorry to have to record a very distressing case of this dreadful ma lady, which occurred last week in the person of Joseph Robbins, a stout, healthy young labouring man, aged 21, at Shottery, near Stratford-upon-Avon. The unfortunate man had, we understand, been bitten in the thumb about two months before by a rabid dog. Up to the evening of Wednesday the 13th, no apprehensions were entertained by the young man or his friends. He at that time com plained merely of a bad cold ; and the symptoms of diffi cult swallowing, sighing, and great agitation when fluids were offered, were then first observed by Mr. James Prit chard, of Stratford, who had been requested to see him. On enquiring, Mr. Pritchard then found that the unfor tunate man had received a bite, but that the bitten part had healed without inconvenience. The progress of the disor der from this time was rapid. Excessive agitation and alarm, paroxysms of severe spasms, and total inability to swallow, continued up to the time of death, which took place about thirty hours after the first suspicion had been excited. -- The poor sufferer, whose state was indescribably distressing, was attended by the Messrs. Pritchard, and by Dr. Thomson of Stratford, and was also seen by Dr. Co nolly. After the first few hours it was evident that nothing could be done to save his life. No medicine could be taken after that time, and the slightest interference excited so much dread in the patient, as to make any other attempts to give relief impracticable. At times he ap peared almost frantic, and he once ran out of the houpe into the village ; at other times he was composed, and talked of the certainty of his own death. By this shocking occurrence, the aged parents of the young man are deprived of an industrious and dutiful son, the prop and hope of their declining years.—Warwick Advertiser. Last Friday evening, about eight o'clock, as the North Star steam-engine was proceeding on its way towards Selby, on the Leeds and Selby Railway, and was within about three miles of that place, the engineer had occasion to adjust one of the valves, and while stooping down for that purpose accidentally fell off upon the road. Happily he sustained no material injury ; but the engine unchecked, as the engineer had absented, proceeded on its course at an increased and fearful velocity towards Selby. At this time the only person with the engine was the fireman, for, for tunately, there was with the engine no carriages with pas , sengers, and he, unacquainted w►th the management of the engine, and in his fear for consequences, leaped off, and was severely stunned. The North Star, of course, " held on its way, and, like " Gilpin," of Edmonton memory, found the gates every where fly open at its approach, no one pre suming to dispute the passage of one who seemed to " ride a race," till it came to the west entrance of the depot at Selby, where the doors were shut, and the keepers absent. The North Star, however, was not to be arrested in its course by the " shadow of a shade" like that, and through the doors it went, carrying all impediments before it, till it finally was stopped by the great number of carriages it en countered in the depot, some of which it very seriously damaged. If it had not been so arrested the probability is, that it would have forced its way through the large doors at the front of the depot, and then over the jetty into the Ouse, for its steam was up, and then, gentle reader, and then—the North Star would have " dipped."—York Chron. FLORENCE.—CATALANl.—Soiwithstanding the Court are yet Pisa, Florence has been very gay, ;;talgre the very severe season. Numerous parties, &c., are the order of the day. The celebrated Catalani has given two splendid entertainments. Her superb villa (situated about a mile on the Bologna road from Florence), was crowded on the eve of the new year ; there was a concert, and La Signora favoured her guests with a proof that her unrivalled powers are yet in force ; she sang several of her most fa vourite airs. Her daughter, Madame Vivie, sang duos, &c. with her mother, as also Prince Poniatowski, who has a fine tenor voice. After which there was dancing, which was kept up with great glee till the hour of midnight, when a splendid supper was announced, and all seemed delighted in paying the compliment of the new year. The company present consisted of above 230 persons of the first distinc tion in Florence ; amongst which we noticed all Minis ters,the Countess Orloff, Lady Popham , Lad y Fludyer, Lady Selsey, Marchioness Medici, Princess Ruspoli, Count Breglio, the Pope's Nuncio, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, Count Frescobaldi, Sir Bouchier and Lady Wray, Sir Richard and Lady Donaldson, Marshal Bourmont and Lady, as also many of the English residents, too numerous to mention. Countess Orloff and Lady Popham gave splendid parties last week. attended by almost the same persons as at Ca talani's—the fact is, at each house almost the same persons generally meet. On the 18th inst., the Grand Duke, Duchess, and all the family, are expected, to honour the first masked ball which the Societa Filarmonica de Carina dei Nobili have announced. It will be most splendidly at tended. The shares for the suspension bridge across the Arno arc already at a premium. lam informed the pro jectors and engineers are French. THE KING V. GREENHILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to be allowed to take this case out of the peremptory paper, and to bring it on as a mo tion. He had affidavits which stated that Mr. Greenhill had not been allowed to have access to his children, and that he verily believed that Mrs. Greenhill was about to depart with them out of the jurisdiction. To prevent this it was necessary to apply to the Court that the case might be immediately heard and decided. Mr. Justice Patteson had made an order for the children to be delivered up to Mr. Greenhill, but that order had been suspended by the proceedings before the Court, and these proceedings had not been carried forward to a deci sion because the Court hoped that some arrangement might be made between the parties, and had enlarged the rule for the purpose. That hope was now, however, totally frustrated. Mr. Greenhill had written letters to which he had received no answer; and, under the circumstances already stated, applied to the Court to interfere, and to decide at once on the ques tion now before it. Lord DENMAN and the other Judges, after conferring to. gether, doubted whether even in this case, where they stated that they felt willing to do their utmost to hasten the decision, it would ho right to the other suitors of the Court to take the case out of its turn. They would state the result to the At torney- General to-morrow (this) morning. COMMON PLEAS.-MONDAY. RANSOM AND OTHERS V. DUNDAS AND KELLY. This case arose out of the late Ipswich election petition. A rule nisi had been obtained by the plaintiffs, the petitioners in that case calling upon the defendants, Robert Adam Dundas and Fitzroy Kelly, Esqrs., the late sitting Members for the borough of Ipswich, to show cause why judgment should not be entered up against them on the warrant and certificate of the Speaker of the House of Commons, pursuant to the 9th Geo. IV., cap. 22, sec. 63, for the sum of 4,6941. 15s. 7d., the amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the plain tiffs in the furtherance and prosecution of the petition. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause at great length against the rule. Sir WILLIAM FOLLRTT and Mr. Sergeant WILDE followed at the same side. The further hearing of the oaso' was adjourned till tomor row, when we shall report the case at length, together with the judgment of the Court. CONSISTORY COURT.-MONDAY. SCRIVENER V. SCRIVENER. This was a suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery, pro. moted by the husband against the wife, the circumstances of which have already appeared. An allegation was now offered exceptive to the testimony of Mr. Robert Skynner, who was alleged to be the particeps criminis, and it was exceptive to that part of his evidence in which, by way of setting up an alibi, he swore that on the 10th of February, 1835, he was in at tendance at the Court of Common Pleas until about two o'clock, when he went home, and there remained transacting business until after five o'clock. In contradiction of that statement the allegation pleaded that the tenant of a house in Oxford-street, who owed some arrears of rent to Mrs. Scrivener, had called at the house of Mr. Skynner about four o'clock, on the afore said 10th of February, 1835, with a letter containing the money, and that he was then informed or given to understand that Mr. Skynner was not at home. Dr. HAGGARD opposed, and Dr. ADDAMS supported, the ad missibility of the allegation. Dr. LiISHINGTON said that he came to two conclusions--the first, that it was not necessary that he should admit the allega tion ; the second, that, if it were necessary, the allegation it self was perfectly admissible. He should therefore allow it to stand over until the hearing of the cause ; and if then Dr. Addams should . think it necessary to press the point he would admit the allegation. TITHES.--The Constitution endeavours, at consi derable length, to show that it is impossible for the sheriff to execute the innumerable processes which are now being sued out by the clergy from the superior courts. Were Viscount Ennismore the sheriff, a contrary line of observa tion would, we suppose, be taken. The. Tory Viscount. Berehaven may not be to blame. It is not our desire to inculpate him, What is the inference of the Constitu tion ? That the -clergy are in every instance to provide pistols for process servers, to charge them with bullets and swan drops—a bullet may bring down one man—a charge of swan drops two or three—and that the service of every process is to be followed by the loss of two lives at least. If the service of those writs by the sheriffs be impossible, our inference is that the clergy will find it impossible to go. 'to law with the whole population. And yet this is the course which we have reason to think will be persevered in. We repeat, we have reason to know that those legal members of the House of Commons to whom the clergy look for advice, have suggested to them to persevere vigo rously in giving Stanley's Act extensive, and, if possible, universal operation, and to bring the landlords, in every case where the tenants are defaulters, by the filing of bills, into the Court of Exchequer. The clergy have been ad vised neither to look for, nor assent to, any change in the existing law, and to rely on the House of Lords rejecting. any remedial measure which may be introduced by Minis ters. The necessity for the landlords looking to their own interests and those of their tenants has become, then, press ing—urgent. The adoption of a fitting course is, we know, under consideration.

A Cow FISHER.--,A few clays ago, a cow, while drinking at the river Shochie, caught a fish in her mouth, weighing about five pounds, brought it ashore, and carried it about twelve yards from the bank, where it was depo sited,—Seote Times.

Ai th t Pi f!iYoe, however, he flat tered himself with the prospect of au LlT!' , ' , .wre with the Court of Wirtemberg. Some months ago our PPlcspa pers announced the match as a settled affair ; they eveil stated that it would be officially communicated to the Legislature on the return of the Duke of Orleans, who was to proceed to Switzerland in order to have an in terview with his bride. It was but an intrigue, un known to the King of Wirtemberg, and contrived by two Ladies of his Court, Mesdames de 13- and de L-, and some confidants of the Tuileries. The King of Wir temberde eldest daughter is niece to the Emperor of Russia ; she is one of the most accomplished Princesses in Europe, and it is said is n great favourite of her uncle's. Louis Phillippe entertained break expectations from the match towards consolidating, his policy on the Cori!.innt, and freeing himself a little from his dependence on the fick:c alliance of England. Mesdames de and de L-, guided by Louis Phillippe's, or rather his sister's instruc tions, endeavoured to prepare the Princess's heart for the union. They described the Duke of Orleans to her as an accomplished youth, decked with every external quality, full of information, and much beloved by the French. On the other hand they endeavoured to persuade the Duke that his alliance was panted for at Stuttgard, and with this view a portrait of the Princess was forwarded to him. How could he believe that the Noble Ladies would adopt such a step without the King's assent ? He was delighted to find matters proceeding so briskly. The portrait had been mysteriously delivered to him, and the Minister of Wirtembcrg at Paris knew nothing of the negotiations. The Duke's imagination was kindled ; he fancie himself the hero of a romantic adventure. He was apprised that the Princess was about to proceed to Switzerland with her sisters, and the Queen her step-mother, and that she was dying of impatience to behold her future Lord. That ex cursion took place. Our journals announced that the Duke was about ,to visit the Swiss mountains. He left Paris, and had scarcely crossed the frontier when our news papers affirmed that he was gone to meet the Princess of Wirtemberg, who was to arrive at Paris in the follow ing winter. The King of Wirtemberg had to that period continued silent, but Louis Phillippe doubted not that he was at the bottom of the whole affair. On his arrival in Switzerland, the Duke of Orleans inquired everywhere after the Queen of Wirtembcrg, but he had scarcely moved towards the place of her abode when he learnt that she had left it. She quitted Switzerland in such a manner that the luckless swain could no longer dissemble from himself - that his pursuit was evaded. Some friends of the Xing of Wirtembcrg had apprised his Majesty of the intrigue, and, irritated at it, he had not concealed his contempt for a coureur d'aivntures that sought to please a young Princess without the assent of her father. It was by his Majesty's order that the Queen did not protract her stay in Switzerland. It was ascertained that the portrait forwarded to Paris was but a copy clandestinely made of one which the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg had ordered for himself, with the permission of the King. Mesdames do B- and de L- were thanked from the Tuileries for their good offices, and most likely received some com pensation for the displeasure they had incurred at the Court of Stuttgard. These particulars of the Wirtemberg Mariage Manque, I have every reason to believe most correct. Should their veracity be denied at the Tuileries, I do not think there arc many that will say " Nay" to them at the Court of Stuttgard. The accounts from Madras, to the 4th of October, notice a report that it was the intention of the Court of Directors to give up Mysore to the Rajah. The weather at Madras and Calcutta was favourable for the crops of in digo, rice, Sze. A few days since, the boiler of a steam-engine in a drying office belonging to Mr. Shaw, in St. Miles's, Norwich, burst with a tremendous explosion. The cupu lo, with all the water contained in the boiler, about 14 barrels, was forced into the air to the height of about 3() feet, breaking up the principal part of the roof and a chim ney. In its course it knocked down a chimney belonging to Mr. George Gedge, knocked another completely down, and alighted on the roof of a drying shed on the same pre mises, which it forced in, and rolled through the wall of another of Mr. Gedge's offices, a distance of about 50 feet from the place where it was blown. It is a singular fact, that a large quantity of water contained in the dome did not descend till it reached Mr. Gedge's premises. There were three men in the office at the time the explosion took place, but providentially none of them received any injury. The hat of one of them was blown off, another of the men was knocked dawn, and the third had an apron rent from his waist, and carried into the air. The dome, which weighs from 20 to 25 cwt. had separated from the lower part at the rivets (which appeared to have been very much corroded), and was not at all injured by the fall. The only person injured by the explosion was one of Mr. Gedge's men, who was struck on the face by a tile from the roof of the building, but was [not materially hurt. Three of Mr. Gedge's men, working under the room in which the dome fell, had a very narrow escape, as the joists and beams of the floor above them were actually started by the ponderous force of its fall, and had the floor given way, they must all inevitably have been killed on the spot.—Norwich Mercury. The weather has lately been very boisterous and changeable, and undoubtedly very destructive to the ship ping. Accounts have been received of two vessels belong ing to Yarmouth having foundered in the late gales. Their crews were fortunately rescued by other vessels. THE RHINE.—The breaking up of the ice on the Rhine took place on the 12th instant, in the morning, and little apprehension was entertained of inundation ; however at the narrow passage, near St. Goar, the ice accumulated greatly, the water rose every minute with great rapidity, and by mid-day the whole of the lower part of the town of Bacharach was inundated to a height equal to that of 1811. If the thaw continue, much damage is anticipated. At Deux Ponts the waters have risen to a prodigious height, and great losses have been experienced. A hunt took place on Saturday last, of a strong dog fox, which had been bagged a few days before. The fox was drawn at Cannonby, and allowed twenty minutes' start, and it appears it had made the most of it, for it kept up the chase for near six hours ; and after a circuitous run, in which some of the sportsmen were thrown from their horses, it was killed a little above Wigton. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH SMUGGLERS.— Lieut. Pennington, of the Coast Guard, at Stonehouse, having received information of a route adopted by smug glers, across the country near Elburton, frequented the spot a few nights since, without seeing anything of the smugglers. Oa Tuesday night he sent only three of his best men, well armed with cutlasses and pistols. About half-past ten, as they lay concealed a mile and half from Elburton, towards Saltram, a party of eighteen or twenty made their appearance, with two carts and three horses, when the Coast Guard men called on them to surrender. On coming into close contact with the smugglers, the latter began to act on the offensive, using their bludgeons. These the seamen parried with their cutlasses, and at last, driven to extremities, they fired about a dozen shots from their pis tols among the smugglers ; whether any fell it was too dark to see. Some of the latter must have been dreadfully hacked by the cutlasses of the preventive men, considering the close quarters at which they fought, and the ability of the latter to use that weapon. The three men, however, successfully beat off their opponents, and bore away their prizes of horses and carts, containing sixty-three tubs of brandy, and delivered them into the Cnstom-house on Tues day morning. Some of the smugglers were recognised as old offenders, and others bear such marks of the rencoun ter as will no d ou bt l ea d t o th e i r di scovery . The struggle continued for h a lf an h our , an d th e C oast Guard me's swords were, on their return, found to be covered with blood from the hilt to the point.—Sherbounic Journal. GUIZZARDING.—We understand that the younger branches of the Scone family. during the daft days, deter mined to mingle, like their neighbours, in all kinds of holi day amusement. The youthful party on New-year's night, therefore, attired and disguised themselves so effectually as not to be known to each other except by speech. A young nobleman, full of all kinds of fun, was with aids turned into a giant of such dimensions as to require a coach to himself ; the other gentlemen were more or less comical. The ladies were dressed to, and disported the characters of country lasses, and old-fashioned wives. In this disguise they drove to their neighbours, at Kinfauns, where they gained admis sion as guizzards. They were ushered into the dining - room , where they danced and sung to perfect life. The peculia rities of their several characters were so ably sustained, their voices so truly disguised, that all in the room, their most intimate friends, and several of their relatives, amidst the enjoyment, unconsciously, gave them pieces of money. The happy party then drove home to carry on their further amusements. This piece of excellent pleasantry was only known through the young party themselves, who, as may naturally be expected, richly quizzed their friends. The proceeds of their diversion was sent to the poor. SILT_ I'PIN G INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUS" TOM-HOUSE, JAN. 25. The Harlequin, Corbin, from Boulogne; Sir R.
