LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1836. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a Letter to the Electors of Westminster, which we this day lay before our readers. It will be seen that though the Learned Gentleman resents strongly the treatment he has re ceived from Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, he is by no means niggardly in his estimate of the obligations which the cause of Reform owes to the Hon. Baronet. The extraordinary course which the once zealous ad vocate of Reform has lately pursued, is imputed to the only cause which, in our opinion, can adequately ac count for it—namely, mental decay. The Tories, tak ing advantage of this imbecility, have plied him with flattery on the one hand, while they have, on the other, inflamed into hostility the latent grudge which he has entertained towards the Whigs since they took Reform out of his hands, and made it a Government question without his permission. Sir FRANCIS has thus, in his old age, and in the decline of his faculties, fallen a victim to the artifices of those very persons whom, as Boroughmongers, he has opposed, during the whole of his political career, with a fearlessness, a disinteres tedness, a heartiness, and, we must add, a scurrility, to which it would not be easy to find a parallel. We say the whole of his political career, for we consider him politically dead ever since the accession to power of the Whig party, under Lord GREY, in 1830. The Hon. Baronet has thus been wheedled out of principles which he can probably no longer either de fend or understand, and has, perhaps unconsciously, been made a tool for counteracting their influence. We cannot help thinking that Mr. O'CONNELL has taken too much pains to show that Sir FRANCIS is the last man on earth who should have attacked him for using unguarded language. He has applied the argumentum ad hominem with great severity—with al most cruel particularity—as if any body can have the least doubt upon the subject who knows the " sayings and doings" of the Hon. Baronet. Mr. O'CONNELL is well aware that this manoeuvre, like many others, was resorted to for the purpose of creating enmity between the Irish Members and the Ministry. The support which these Members gave the 'MELBOURNE Administration completely discon certed the plans of the Tories last session, and will no doubt do the same the next. It is on this account that their organs have been exerting all their energies in abusing Lord MELBOURNE and his colleagues for the unprincipled coalition," as they call it, between them and Mr. O'CONNELL. This absurd charge of a coalition is very satis- , factorily disposed of by Mr. O'CONNELL in his pre sent letter. We quote with great pleasure the following psssage, as a complete answer to all the factious gabble about Ministerial subserviency on the one side, and O'CONNELL domination on the other " This is what is called a COALITION justice dispensed on the one side—support zealously and gratefully returned. But have the Ministry sacrificed any one principle of their own, or gone beyond any one principle of their own to pro cure this support ? Clearly and certainly not. It is quite true that it would be a sacrifice of principle, and a contra diction of practice on the part of the Tories, to act with impartiality or justice in Ireland. If they had bid for our support, by acting fairly and justly—support thus obtained might indeed be called an unprincipled coalition, but even . then it could not be called a base coalition. In the Whigs, it is not unprincipled—it is, on the contrary, consistent with their professed principles. It is not base—oh, no !—it is to them the highest honour—to us the first step to the greatest possible utility." The triumphant results of the late Municipal elec tions seems, strange to tell, to have taken the Tories quite by surprise. They cannot understand upon what principle it is that they have been everywhere so fla grantly vanquished. Hence they are all in a state of alarming confusion and perplexity ; and while some among them are endeavouring to prove that their de feat—for they are candid enough to admit that they are defeated--is of little material consequence to their interests ; the more arrogant and shameless of the party seek indirectly to attribute it to the negligence and timidity of some of their own Parliamentary subor dinates. Of such a sort is the language held by the Tory Times of this morning, which would fain have. us believe, that if it had not been for the supercilious indifference of many of his supporters towards Sir R. PEEL last Session, - which compelled him to re frain from divisions where he might have divided with a most imposing show of strength, Toryism would have been in far better odor than it now is, with the people, and consequently would have ex ' ercised a far more commanding influence over the mu nicipal elections. This is ingenious reasoning enough, but there is not the shadow of a foundation for it. It is no truer than our inventive contemporary's insinua tion, that Lord MELBOURNE in his despair of being 1 able to face Parliament, had.applied for assistance to the STANLEY party. The strict truth is, that the Conservatives put forth their utmost strength last Session. They shrank from no difficulty—they omit ted no opportunity of annoying Ministers. Wherever mischief was brewing, there were they in the thick of it. They were as indefatigable in the Commons, as they were in the Lords ; and if with all their influence, directly and indirectly applied ; if with all their ener gies, physical and intellectual, they were unable to do any serious injury to the cause of Reform, and to Ministers as impersonating Reform, it was because a giant power was opposed to them, against which no means such as they could command, could make head for an instant. It is well known that we are no friends to the Tories, but we feel ourselves bound, in common justice, to defend them from the attacks of the Times. So far from being inert, as our cnotemporary asserts they were, last Session, they sig nalized themselves by their earnestness and activity. All that could be done, was done by them ; and their impugner, who knows this quite as well as we can tell him, has thought fit to attack them, for no other reason than because by so doing, he thinks he may lead shallow and wavering people to believe, that there still exists a vast mass of dormant Toryism, both within and without the walls of Parliament, which requires only to be roused; to be successful in all its essays. 'But ibis "ruse, however ingenious, ceive none but the most credulous and tint ing. All must see that it is merely got up to encourage those Tory trimmers whom the result of the Municipal elections may have filled with despair, and tempted to desert from their colors. Doubtless, our contemporary thinks it a clever notion—no matter at what expense of truth—to keep up the confidence of these poor creatures, by impressing on their minds, that if they will but stick to their " Parliamentary leaders," they will be strong enough to carry all before them next session ; but though the few may put faith in his statements, the millions will treat them with con tempt and ridicule, well knowing that it is not the Tories, but the Liberals, whose full energies are yet to be put forth. The latter party is as yet but the Her cules in the cradle, while the former is in the last stage of hopeless decrepitude. Prince LIEVEN is one of the first political portrait painters of the present age. His sketch of the Duke of WELLINGTON, taken in 1829, for the private in spection of Count CHARLES DE NESSELRODE and the Czar NICHOLAS, is one of the most faithful like nesses of the Illustrious Duke, in his then character of Statesman, that the world has yet wondered at—for all the Duke's political portraitures belong to the cate gory of world's wonders. This sketch, which assumed the form of a diplomatic despatch addressed by the Russian Ambassador to the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, is copied from Number V. of the Portfolio, and will be found, with another important document, in the columns of The Sun of this day. Need we state that our feelings on perusing these documents were those of sorrow and self-humiliation ? Need we assure our readers that in the prostration of the Duke of WELLINGTON before the intriguing genius of Russia, we forgot the crimes of the Tories in our re gret for the stain cast upon the honour of the British Empire ? Certain Conservative prints are pleased to represent us as gloating over the discovery— an old one by the way—that the Duke of WELLINGTON was the tool of NESSELRODE in 1829, as he was of the same NESSELRODE in 1832, when the hollow plaudits of a Russian Envoy sufficed to make him peril the chances of a popular revolution in England. We tell these writers that they wilfully misrepresent our opinions, ..W e ineut. the ,hlindn esS of the Duke of WELLINGTON as a Staiesman---we know besides, that his overweening vanity renders this fault in him quite incurable ; but our recollection of his brilliant achievements in the field of battle is too vivid—partakes too strongly of the nature of a feeling of private and personal gratitude—to allow us ever to exult over any of his errrors. At the same time we must be permitted to say, that the Noble DUKE'S in capacity for office is rendered so notorious by the des patches of the Russian Ambassador, that his MA JESTY would neither consult what is due to his Regal dignity nor to the safety of State, were he to recal the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs to his Councils as a Minister of the Crown. Upon the despatches themselves we shall treat at some length to-morrow. We are prevented to-day in consequence of a press of such matter as will not bear postponement. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday have been received, together with the Monileur of Saturday. As New-year's-day is celebrated as a Sabbath festival in all Catholic countries, the other journals were not published on that day. At a late hour on Thursday evening, the Government received a copy of President JACKSoN's Speech to Congress, which it communi cated to the Journal de Paris, to be published in a second edition of that paper. Although we have not yet learned the opinions of the French Press on the subject, we have received private assurances that the Cabinet regards the Speech as quite satisfactory, and that all differences will terminate as soon as Eng land shall have gone through the forms of a regular mediatnrship. So generally was this known in Paris, on Saturday, that the funds rose in consequence. To accelerate matters it is probable that Ministers will lose no time in submitting the part of the Message which relates to France to the Chambers, and that a vote expressive of the entire satisfaction of the French Government W ik the language of the President will be asked, and obtained without difficulty. France will then notify to Congress her readiness to pay the first instalment of the debt; the dishonoured bills will be again presente and accepted : and thus will end a quarrel ridiculous in i6"elf o 4,but which was on the eve of leading to the most direful consequences. On New Year's-day the King of the FRENdeCrgc ceived the usual congratulatory addresses of the diploz matic body, and the Chambers of Peers and Deputies. There is nothing either in these addresses, or in the KING'S answers to them, to call for particular obser ♦ation. The subject of congratulation, with the ex ception of a few phrases, is one and the same through out :—The health of the KING, and his miraculous escape, on the 28th of July ; the general peace of Europe; and the feats of arms performed by the Duke of ORLEANS in Africa. The KING'S answers may be given in words equally brief :—thankfulness for the sympathy excited by the dangers which assailed himself and family ; thankfulness for a participation in those sentiments which the courage of a son inspired in the bosom of his royal father ; and promises to the effect that the future policy of France would be of as pacific a character as the past. We must take all these things at their pioper value—a mere ceremo nial. All parties had a part to perform enjoined them by the etiquette of the French Court—and they performed it. That is all that requires to be said on the subject. Some heads, pretending to be wiser than those of their neighbours, may discover in these ad dresses, and the answers to them, something more sub stantial than mere words. We have no taste for examining complimentary addresses so closely. The fruit concealed under such leaves is not worth gather ing—neither is it agreeable to our palate. Advices from various parts of the North of Spain are given in the French Journals of Friday ; but they are, after all, of no importance. Deep snows, and the badness of the roads, prevented the marching of the armies. The British and French auxiliaries were preparing to cross the Ebro, with a view to traverse Navarre, and so attack the Pretender in the strong• hold of his power in Spain. There are still rumours respecting the suspicion: movements of a Sardinian squadron, off the coast o Spain. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, JANUARY 2. Five per Cents., 108 f. 75c. 80c. 60c. 55c.

The several States were then in a state of ferment, owing to struggles for the Presi dencies, and divisions in the army. In Peru the Go vernment was in a complete state of disorganization. General ORBEGOSO, who had been driven from the Presidency to which he was duly elected by General SALAVERY, raised a body of troops in Arequipo, at the head of which he attacked and defeated the army of the Usurper, under the command of General GO MARRA. The Usurper himself remained in Lima to prevent a rising of the inhabitants against him, where he daily committed the most scandalous excesses. We regret to say that the South American States present a faint prospect of the establishment of social order among them. They hate slavery, and yet they know not in what liberty consists. We have extracted from the German papers received this morning, the copy of a letter addressed to the edi tor of the Allgenziene Zietung, purporting to be an answer to some strictures made by that Journal on articles condemnatory of the policy of Russia which appeared in the Liberal Journals of London and Paris. It may be remembered that the Editor's defence of Rus sia amounted to this :—She was great, powerful, magna nimous, and ambitious; the other European Powers were weak, jealous of each other,- and filled with internal dissensions ; consequently the triumphs of Russia over them were as much the result of political ne cessity as of will ; and that such triumphs would only terminate with the establishment of her sway over all Europe and Asia. Now this was imprudent, and the emissaries of NESSELRODE saw the conse quences to which it was likely to lead. Accordingly we are now favoured with a letter ostensibly writ ten to correct an editorial miscalculation, but in reality to throw dust in the eyes of Western Europe. It is now the interest of Russia to conceal her power as well as her designs for its subsequent employment. Her fleet is not yet ready ; and as the first blow is half the battle, she will strike before she unmuffles a singe' drumy to apprize Europe of her new atti tude. " More tubs for .the nionster---no noise till your harpoons are poised, and your lines ready," is the cry of the political navigators who guide the Russian State-vessel. But we, too, are on our guard. The errors of the past have not been examined by us without extracting from them an useful lesson for our future direction. We begin to k now R uss i a , an d are preparing to vindicate our own honour. That there will be a war is now certain ; all that remains is, to fix the period of its commencement.

" Gentlemen of 'the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gentle men of the Assembly—l avail myself of the earliest period which the termination of the elections would admit to call you together, being well aware of the great mass of busi ness which it will be necessary that you should dispose of during the present session. It will be my duty hereafter to make you separate communications upon several points. The most important, however, and those which I would suggest as requiring your more immediate attention, I will now briefly allude to. " The Act in aid of the Abolition Law, and the Police 13i11, will expire at the end of thi s year . I recommend to your earliest consideration. " It being of the utmost importance to the success of the system, which the law declares s h a ll p reva il, th at i t should be made equal in duration! with the apprenti ces hi p, as the Act in aid was passed tor the particular purpos e o f remedying the deficiences in the original colonial law, an d as it has been found, practically speaking, to be adequate to the purpose for which it was intended, I must express a hope that you will renew it without any alteration, except as to duration. " The British Government does not attach less impor tance to the renewal, for the same period, of the Police Bill. I will cause to be laid before you documents show ing the essential service that force has rendered to the co lony, in the enforement of industry ; at the same time it is my duty to state to you, that, had I been able to hold out the inducement of a longer, certain period of service, I could have procured from England a number of sufficient experienced non-commissioned officers, already acquainted with that description of service. To the want of a number of that class, I attribute certain irregularies in the indivi dual behaviour 'of the men; but am gratified in having it in my power to say, that no charge affecting their conduct, as a body, has, as yet, been made to me. "I cannot avoid impressing on you in the most urgent man ner, the necessity of establishing a greater number of Courts of Assize than have been heretofore necessary : the experience of near two years, which I have passed on the Island, con firms me in the idea, which I formed immediately after my arrival here—the change in the condition of the labouring pdpulation, effected by the Abolition Law, would occasion a necessity for increased facilities in the administration of justice. Representations to this effect have been made to me by the higivt legal authority in this Island, when con veying to me type-presentment of the Grand Jury, at the late Supreme Court on the subject : the state in which the civil business, which ought then to have been disposed of, was left, would, were it necessary, afford abundant argu ments in favour of this measure. An Act for the regula tion of emigration on certain principles, which will ensure their just rights to both employers and emigrants, I would suggest as being highly desirable. There are, besides se veral alterations in the Clergy Act, and others of minor im portance, which I shall take a future opportunity of re commending to your attention. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly,—l am confident you will furnish the supplies which may be consi dered as necessary for the service of the Colony. Such part of the expenditure as is under my control, shall be, as it has been, administered with the utmost attention to economy. " Gentlemen of the Council,—lt affords me great plea sure to be able to inform you, that bbere has been a gradual but marked decrease of the number of complaints made to the Special INlagistrats, during the - last six months. I hope that through the blessing of Providence the favourable ex pectations as to the state of the Crops for next year, which I have formed from the reports,•as welt as privete indivi duals, may be realized. In point of tranquillity lam gra. tified in being able to state, there appears to be nothing left to be desired." The following is the Address of the touncil to his Ex cellency's Speech. " We, his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Coun cil of Jamaica, beg leave to offer to your Excellency our thanks for your Speech at the - 4ening of the Session. " We fully appreciate the importance of the several sub jects particularly alluded to by your Excellency as requiring our immediate attention ; and we assure your Excellency that those subjects, and such other communications as your Excellency may be pleased to make to us, shall receive the most careful consideration. " We thank your Excellency for your , suggestions with respect to the Act in aid of the Abolition Law and the Police Bill : we are fully convinced of the necessity of esta blishing a greater number of Courts of Assize." MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. The following circular has beon sent to such Members of the House of Commons as generally support the Ministry : " Whitehall, Dec. 30, 1835.

Seve ral Annual Bills had been passed, and sent to the Council; and every disposition appears to exist, on the part of Members, to get done with their work as soon as possible. There also exists a willingness in the House, to economize as much as possible the public money. The reducing the salary of the Clerk to the Commissioners of Accounts from 1,0001. to F 901., and the indisposition to increase that of the Deputy-Receiver- General at Montego Bay, and the proposition of Messrs. Brown and Hodgson to carry to the credit of the Island certain fees hi therto received by the Receiver-General, under one of the An nual Acts—a proposition which prevented the Act from being reported—show that the means of the public are likely to be carefully husbanded. _ _ The following is the message from the Council to his Ex cellency the Governor : '" May it please your Excelleney,—We are commanded by the Council to wait upon your Excellency, and to acquaint you, that the Board fully appreciate the consideration which has induced your Excellency to afford them the information contained in your message respecting the progress made by the Commissioners of the Compensation, and the arrangements entered into for completing their final report on the uncon tested claims." In the early part of the morning, both the British and Fo reign Markets opened buoyant, and Consols were 921 but soon afrer receded to 91 f , since which they have resumed their former price of 92f for Account.

COPY OF A DISPATCH FROM PRINCE LIEVEN, DATED LONDON, 4TH (16TH) JANUARY, 1829. To complete the information that I have the honour this day of transmitting to the Imperial Ministry, I think it my duty briefly to lay before it a picture of the situation of the internal affairs in this country, at the time of the meeting of Parliament. The Duke of Wellington has employed the interval be tween last session and the one about to open in increasing, to the utmost of his power, the number of his adherents, and in this vital interest he has employed more money and address than any of his predecessors. Not being able to conceal from himself the insufficiency of his talents as a statesman as an orator, to draw into the sphere of his opinions the majority of both Houses, he wished to secure at least the number of votes by means more sim ple, and which are not less efficacious in this country than in any other. In fact, he foresaw it would be impossible for him to permit the approaching session to pass over without entering upon the discussion of the most important State questions. These had been adjourned in two preceding sessions owing to the Ministerial revolutions, which had disorganized parties. But now men and affairs have re.- covered their equilibrium. While the Duke sought to strengthen the Government party, the time has been thrown away by his adversaries ; and if he has obtained the superiority of numbers, that of talent is evidently against him. The Catholic Question is undoubtedly the one that will present to him the greatest difficulties, whichever side he may embrace. They have for a long time been engaged in discovering what line he intended to pursue with regard to this important object. But although he has made every effort to conceal his intentions in this respect, it is evident that he has formed no plan whatever, except that of waiting in order to adopt in the end the opinion which will appear to preponderate. This conduct would doubtless indicate but little energy. But, indeed, the course of his administration proves that he has always hesitated to pronounce himself in a posi tive manner, and that when circumstances have forced him to come to a resolution, he has always stopped at half-measures. The course which he has pursued in the events in Portugal will probably be the occasion of very thorny discussions. The relations that unite that country with England are too intimate, not to give its affairs, so to speak a national interest, and the uncertain and timid policy which the Duke has adopted in this question will 'be difficUlt to defend. As to our war in the East, whatever may be the pre judices of the public in general, it does not lack de fenders among the most distinguished Members of both Houses. The favourable position in which our Govern ment has placed itself with regard to England would offer to them, if there was any necessity, powerful arms with which to combat the Government ; and it would be easy for them to prove all the impolicy of the encourage ment given to the journals to deceive the nations as to the true relative position of the tn o belligerent Powers. A circumstance very favourable to the Duke is the im provement that has taken place in the national prosperity, whence results an excess of revenue over that of last year of more than a million and a half sterling. This excess proceeds partly from the reductions that have been effected in the service, and partly from the considerable increase of revenue from the Customs and Excise. But the Duke ,could only take to himself the merit of the first of these causes ; the honour of the second belongs to the measures of political economy adopted by the last Ministry. But as the nation in general, is little capable of appreciating this distinction, and as the question of finance is a vital one to it, the Duke, in all appearance, will reap the merit as well as the fruits of the work of his predecessors, and this fa vourable circumstance will probably influence the majority of the public in favour of his Administration. In short, then, M. le Compte, although the Duke of Wellington may not precisely have any serious fears of the stability of his ministerial existence, yet his position is suf ficiently surrounded with obstacles to lead him to avoid further and gratuitous complications of them, and I ven ture to believe that he will be disposed to conciliate rather than to exasperate opinions, to calm storms rather than - to raise them. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. BRIGHTON-SUNDAY. Yesterday morning the King granted an audience tq Mr. F. G. Moon, when that Gentleman had the honour of pre senting to his Majesty the first etching of the forthcoming engraving, by Doo, from Wilkie's celebrated picture of the preaching of Knox before the Lords of the Congregation. In the afternoon his Majesty, accompanied by Lady Falkland, took his usual drive. Her Majesty did not leave the Palace yesterday, but was graciously pleased to grant an audience to Mr. Moon, and commanded her name to be placed at the head of the list of subscribers to his forthcoming work. Lord Viscount Falkland arrived yesterday at the Palace. The dinner party last night included Caitain Sir George Westpball, Admiral Sir Robert Otway, Admiral Sir C. Rowley, Admiral Sir J. Rodd, Captain Duff, Captain Tower, Captain Crofton, Captain Hope, Admiral Sir D. Gould, Admiral Sir James Whitsted, Admiral Sir John Wells, Captain Glascock, Marquis and Marchioness of Ely, and Baron Gersdorff. The Queen's private band was in attendance. ---------- None of the Royal Family have been out to-day. COURT CIRCULAR. Mr. Borradaile and a deputation connected with the Cope of Good Hope had an interview with Lord Glenelg on Saturday at the Colonial-office. The Bishop of London and family visited the Panorama of Jerusalem and Thebes on Saturday, and expressed them selves highly delighted to Mr. Burford, who attended them. The Judicial Committee of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council sat on Saturday, and resumed 'the appeal from Guernsey, " Carey, William Tupper, and others, v. the Treasurer of the Hospital of St. Peter Port." This was a question whether or not certain inhabitants of Guernsey were liable to be rated for the relief of the poor in respect of personal property out of the island. Mr. Crowder was heard for the appellants, and Dr. Lushington for the respondent. Mr. Wigram replied. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment on the part of their Lordships, and affirmed the decree of the Court below, with costs. Prince George, attended by some of the Royal suite, visits Drury-lane Theatre this evening, and the new pamto mime is played as the middle piece—the only time we un derstand it can be so acted, owing to the production of the Bronze Horse ao-morrow. Mr. J. P. Collier, who recently published a 'tract, which excited much attention in the literary world, under the title of " New Facts regarding the Life of Shakspeare,"is now printing another production of the same kind, in which he communicates some curious and valuable discoveries he has made respecting the works of Shakspeare. Among other things he will pub lish notes, made at the time, by a person who saw several of the principal plays represented when first they were brought out at the Globe Theatre, in South wark. In the ball-room at Viscount Melbourne's seat, Brocket Hall, a thousand yards of satin, at a guinea a yard, were employed. The costly and tasteful style of its fur niture is such as to impart to the tout ensemble the most magnificent and imposing effect. The Earl and Countess of Radnor are expected next week at the family mansion in Grosvenor-street i from Minestead Lodge, in the New Forest, where they are now on a visit to Colonel and Lady Catharine Bulkeley. The preliminaries of a marriage are adjusted between Mr. Hope, son of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Alexander Hope, G.C.8., and the Hon. Caroline Montagu, youngest daughter of Lord Montagu. The ceremony will take place at Ditton . Park in the course of the ensuing month. Lord Brougham's illness arose from a slight attack of the dysentery, to which he has been subject on any sud den change of the weather. His Lordship caught cold when proceeding from town to Brougham Hall. The Earl of Minto returned to his residence in the Admiralty on Saturday evening; from a visit to his Noble Colleague, the Lord President of the Council, at Bowood. His Lordship has commenced a series of dinners to Flag Officers and Captains of the Royal Navy. We understand two separations are spoken of---one in high ,life, and the other more in the provincial circles. The first, an Earl and Countess, residing in Mayfair ; the other, a very wealthy Baronet, known in the sporting world. Bradby Park, at Ashby-de-la-Zouche, in Leicester shire, the magnificent seat of the Earl of Chesterfield, will be full of company on Twelfth Day. The mansion contains seventy-five chambers for visitors. Harewood House is at present full of visitors, whom the Noble proprietor of the mansion is entertaining in a truly English style of hospitality. The Earl of Harewood completed his sixty-eighth year on Christmas-day, and in the evening a grand concert was given. A grand entertainment was given by the Duchess of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, the last night of tho old year, to a select party of the Nobility, who have been pass ing the Christmas holidays with her Grace. Weippert's band was in attendance. The next entertainments will be on the 6th and 7th inst. At Latimers, once the abode of the magnificent Wolsey, and now the property of the Hon. Charles Comp ton Cavendish, much old English hospitality prevails. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT: THIS DAY. OLD COURT. The January Sessions of the above Court were commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, Mr. Alder man White, the Record er , an d M r. Sergeant Araia. The Grand Jury having been sworn, were addressed by the Recorder. He congratulated them upon the appearance of the calendar : upon that, and the perusal of the depositions which had, been laid before him, he was of opinion that their labours would nOt detain them long. He was quite sure, that though they were called upon to perform those labours at this time, which was a season of repose to even those most engaged in business, they would perform their duty cheerfully, when they took into consideration that it was to carry into effect the objects of the new Act, which were, speedy justice, and the speedy release of those persons who were suffering innocently. The matters that were to be brought before them did not present any case of difficulty ; if any such should arise, the Court would be most happy at any time to afford such assistance as was in its power. He then drew the attention of the Jury to the case of Paul, charged with receiving a quantity of numbers of the Weekly Visitor, knowing them to have been stolen : and also to the case of the man charged with having in his possession a quantity of paper, searing the marks of " forged stamps" for cards. These were cases requiring their particular attention. After explaining the law upon the cases, he dismissed them to their duties, which, he trusted, would be light. The Common Juries having been called, and sworn, Mr. Sergeant ARABIN took the ease of Isaac Slodden, who was indicted for stealing 6001bs. of annatto, the property of Messrs. R. J. Fullwood and Co., in whose service he was. The prisoner on being arraigned, pleaded guilty. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecution, said he was instructed to state that Messrs. Fullwood and his partner had made a strict enquiry into the previous character of the prisoner, and they had found that before coming into their employment, he had borne one of a most exemplary nature. He had also lived in their service for several years, and from some circumstances which had lately come to their knowledge they were induced to believe that the prisoner might have taken the property home to work upon through mistake. From the satisfactory nature of the answers they had received to their enquiries, the prosecutors were per fectly willing to receive him again into their employment, and unless they were compelled by the Court, they would decline to offer any evidence upon another indictment which had been preferred against him. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN—What is the amount of the whole of the property charged to have been stolen ? Mr. CLARKSON--.I believe my Lord that in all it amounts to between 501. and 1001. Mr. Fullwood then got into the witness box and said he begged to join most heartily in the recommendation of the Learned Counsel. He was most willing to take the prisoner at once into his employment. The Learned JUDGE said it was very humane, and he would most certainly take all the circumstances into his consi deration when fixing the sentence on the prisoner. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) There were large arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week, and a good return of Flour. The trade for every article con tinued dull throughout the week. This morning the fresh supplies were moderate. The best parcels of Wheat were readily taken off by our millers at full last Monday's rates, and middling and inferior sorts were very dull, at no variation in value. Barley continues steady at our lait rates. Beans un varied. Grey Pease are Is. per quarter lower. Boiling Pease unaltered. The large supply of Oats has tended to depress this trade, but prices are not lower. Flour remains without change in price. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) • . Ids. 40s.

There was also a fair supply of country Oats which sold on much the same terms as last Saturday.
