..,.....------ sight of a bullet is all but d ea th t o us . W e make this confession with all possible candour, test the writer fit the United Service Journal s!, iou ld bq tempted to suppose that we are indifferc;it tQ their tilaits: We prize them highly, and or.11:s, plead a Ilhtural infirmity as an excuse for being sorncti.mts rather silent respectin them. We know, o f rio periodical better conducted, if its professed ol '3ects be fairly taken into consideration, than the UP'lled Service Journal. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Sherwood and Co. Our venerable acquaintance, the " Old ltionthill," begins to look as fresh and as blooming as we re member it to have looked in the heyday of its popu larity. There is a marked improvcinent in the general tone of the articles, as well as in the quality of the stuff thrown into them. " St. Martin's Eve" is a legend of considerable merit. It abounds in that rich broad humour which one meets with nowhere but among the Irish peasantry. Take the following as a sample : " Is your name James Halligan ? ' inquired Wilson. " My mother calls me Jim Rattigan, sure enough, but your honour may call me anything that's plasing to you,' answered Green jacket, with tho evasive adroitness of his order: " V;fell, James, I have got a letter for you.' " A letter, your honour ? ' inquired he with an incredu lous, grin. Wilson put it into his hand ; Jim received it with the most ludicrous solemnity ; he first minutely exa liained one side and then the other, next he peeped into it at both ends, at length he cautiously opened it, but his countenance told that he was completely at fault respect ing its contents. " Perhaps Rattigan, as you seem puzzled with your new correspondence, you might wish to 'have that letter read for you ?' said Wilson. " ' llaith, that's the very thing Ivould be quite agreeable to me, yer honour, seeing that I did'n't take to the laming, in regard of reading cramp handwriting, and the like,' re plied Rattigan, with another twitch at his caubeen. " I can tell you, beforehand,' observed Wilson, that it is from Mr. K- of Limerick, requesting you to guide us to the best places on th e Sh annon f or meeting fi s h . ' " Tare an'ounties,' exclaimed Green-jacket, crumpling up the letter, and thrusting it into his breeches pocket, • sure Mr. K. need'nt have troubled himself writing at all ; I could'nt misbelieve th e word from a gentleman's mouth. If it's a day's sport ; you want on the Shannon, gentlemen, Jim Rattigan is 'the boy will show you such illigant divar sion as you 'never saw the aiqual of since Antony and Clayopathrr, bobbed for eels in the river Ganges. Clear the road., there,: you onsignified vagabones, and let the gen tlemen pass.'" The review o f W as hi ngton I rv i ng ' s " Astoria,, is highly creditable to the writer's industry, sagacity, and good taste. The " History of Ancient Philo sophy" is somewhat too recondite for a monthly pe riodical. We may possibly make the article on " Joint Stock Banks" the subject of some leading comments in The Sun on a future occasion, and shall therefore decline all comments upon it here. We are of opinion that most of the papers in the " Old Monthly" are too brief to fix the attention, and the shortest of them are often deficient in sprightliness. Moreover, too much space is devoted to the review of ephemeral literature. This is a matter well worth the consideration of its conductors. PILGRIMS OF THE THAMES.-I\TO. I. A very common-place affair, by the author of that vulgar trash " Toni and Jerry, or Life in London." The best thing in the present Number is the title- Pagel. which r..ontains a passable engraving of.the view from Rich ;pond Hill. LIBRARY OF FICTION.—No. IX. This work sells, and we are glad of it, for it is got Up with considerable care, and is sure to contain one tale, at least, of talent. Sheridan Knowles, we see, contributes this month a story, entitled the " Guerilla," in which we fancy we can detect the ground-work of some new play, in five acts. The embellishments are two in number, but by no means remarkable for po sitive excellence. Our notice of the-" Pickwick Club," which usually accompanies this little work, we must defer, from lack of space and time, till to-morrow. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITE; 7' W ELY E 0' CL 0 CIC.

THEATRES. Di`? URk-LAIVE: Mr. Forrest al - Tented laat eirening, iii the character of Macbeth, and in the performance t it full* sustained the reputatiot . he has already obtained in the parts of Othdlo ~~. r - Lear. Mr. Forrest brings to the performance os gpbtlre's Itcroc§arl bitet t g,' zuvi tiptit; telliptjed itli a taste anti jedgineut, wb rart4 ittany 0 , 10 venture tO tread the §tintb: There is;l3esid6s; reality in his acting=ati actual identification of hithself With fhb Ehataefer he impersonates—stronger than in any actor we have ever seen. If this was remarkable in his performance of Othello and Lean it is not less so in his performance of Macbeth. From the first act to the last--4totti his flrPt interview with the Weird Sisters, whose vague prophecy instils into his mind that feeling of " vaulting ambition" which leads him to the commission of so many crimes, to the last scene in which lie finds his charms dissolved, and begins too late to doubt " the equivocation of the fiend," he carried the audience completely with him, and made them at times wholly unmindful of the skill of the actor from the interest excited in the actions of Macbeth. The soliloquy, in what is commonly called the dagger-scene, was finely de livered, and wholly unaccompanied by any of those violent starts which we have been in the habit of seeing. The " air-drawn dagger" comes slowly upon his vision, and ex cites no intensity of horror till it is seen marshalling him the way that he was going, and clotted on " blade and dudgeon" with gouts of .blood. Here the expression of horror was admirable, but not more striking than the sud den recovery of self-possession when the vision fades, and lie exclaims, " There's no such thing." The scene with Lady Macbeth, alter the murder, was, perhaps, the finest in the whole performance, and it would indeed be difficult to conceive a finer piece of acting. As he enters the hall with the bloody daggers in his hand, he continues to gaze behind him, and thus approaches to where Lady Macbeth is standing without being aware of her presence. She stays him by the arm, and he starts with terror in a manner that positively electrified the house. We have not seen this done before : the effect was one of the most forcible we have ever seen produced upon the stage, and it was acknowledged by se veral distinct rounds of applause. In the banquet scene, in the scene with the witches in the fourth act, and again throughout the whole of the fifth act, where one by one he finds his charms dissolve, until at last, wholly unmanned, he would rather fly than fight, Mr. Forrest sustained the part with extraordinary vigour. In the last act, indeed, the effort to be brave, the assumption of ,a courage not felt, was very powerfully pourtrayed, and the burst of passion when he is told that Birnam wood moved towards Dunsinane, was almost electrical. But it is needless to point out par ticular passages where all was excellent. It is enough to say that Mr. Forrest's performance of Macbeth was in no way inferior to that of any of the other characters in which he has appeared in this country. We must not omit, how ever, to mention a singular and bad reading of a passage in the first act, which we are surprised a gentleman of Mr. For rest's usually correct taste should have adopted. It is at the commencement of the soliloquy beginning with the words " If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well It wero done quickly : If the assassination Could trammel up the consequence," &c. In the usual reading of this passage, the pause is made at the word " quickly ;" but Mr. Forrest made a full stop at the end of the first line, thus— " If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well ;" commencing a new sentence with the next line, and running it together in this way— " It were done quickly if the assassination could trammel up the consequence," &c. We cannot think this the right reading. Miss Huddart appeared as Lady Macbeth, but was not equal to the part ; her acting—avoiding all comparisons whatever— was highly creditable to the young lady. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Warde were the Banquo and Macduff of the evening, and both of them played with their usual abi lity. A new feature was given to the play, from the whole of the vocal strength of the establishment being thrown into the chorusses, and the effect produced by this ar rangements was such as to make us hope for its continu ance. There is a charm in these compositions•which always makes them popular, however feebly or imperfectly they may be executed ; but when they fall into the hands of such singers as Messrs. Balfc, Templeton, Wilson, Giubelei, Anderson, Bedford, Duruset, and Mesdames Shirreff, Romer, Poole, Forde, Taylor, Jones, and Humby, assisted by a double chorus and an enlarged band, they assume a character and importance little inferior to the most stirring scenes in the play. At the fall of the curtain Mr. For rest was loudly called, for, and in obedience to the call he came forward and walked across the stage. The play was announced for repetition on Friday next, amidst the loudest acclamations. DEPARTURES.

I regret that I have to inform you, that yesterday morning blowing a very heavy gale, the City of Edinburgh drifted, with two anchors ahead-80 fathoms of chain, with 31 fathoms upon the other, but again brought up, and rode for about half an hour, when tilt wind shifted in a perfect hurricane to N. W., and I found the ship drifting again, and was convinced that the attruad chain or anchor had parted. Seeing there was not any e‘hance of saving the ship, and lives of the passengers and crew, by any other means, I ordered the masts to be cut away, which, fortunately, was very promptly executed, and, as I an ticipated, she was immediatel., brottglit up, and rode secure, although within 200 yards or the rocks. Five minutes' delay must have been tttehded With destruction to the ship and Cargo, and lives Or 1111 on board. In the afternoon, the gale having abatea, I went on shore to engage a steam vessel to tow the ship into Catwater, but could not succeed in making arrange ments with the commanders bf either of the Dublin steam vessels, thq only ones fit Plymouth. I then sent to the Admiral, to re- Tsest Ite services of the Government steamer, which he would Willingly have given me, but she was out of repair. I then engaged three trade boats to take the ship in for 25/., and at the time I am writing this we are getting our anchors, and trust that in n it* hours he will be safely moored in Catwater. I troWri a protest yesterday and have taken every step, in con jittiction with Mr. Beckford, who has kindly rendered me every assistance, to have the necessary documents to receive from the underwriters, and to re-equip the ship with the greatest economy. The vessel has not suffered the least in the httll, and I hope in three weeks to be again ready for sea. This is a most unfortunate business, but it is a casualty I could not prevent; I feel I have done my duty, it is useless to repine. I have the gratification of hearing every person say that it is a most miraculous preservation of the ship, and that it was only by the promptmanner in which I cut away the masst that it could have been accomplished. The Earl of Mink) entertained at dinner, at his residence in the Admiralty, on Tuesday evening, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, Lord Holland, Lady John Russell, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, Lord and Lady Howick, and the Rcv. Mr. Allen. The Countess received a small evening party, among whom were the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Spring Rice, jun., Countess I3jornstjerna, Lord Henry Russell, Captain and Mr. Buller, Mr. and Mrs. Tuffnell, Messrs. C. and E. Romilly, &c. The Noble Earl left the Admiralty yesterday morning to attend the Council at the Pavilion. The remains of the late Hon. George Augustus Frederick Lamb; only son 'of Vi scount M e lb ourne , will be interred to-morrow in the family mausoleum at Hatfield. Mr. Lamb was in his 30th year. Earl Talbot is entertaining a numerous party of sporting friends at Ingestrie. Hall, in Staffordshire. The coursing matches have excited much interest during the past week, and his Lordship's celebrated dog " Spartacus " has carried off most of the prizes. OLYMPIC. Last night a burletta, in two acts, entitled The Two Figaros, was produced for the first time at this theatre, and with decided success. It is nothing more nor less than a continuation of the adventures of that intriguing Barber of Seville, of which we hay had so many versions, all ex cellent in their way, and was, no doubt, written for the ex press purpose of bringing the comic powers of " the old and the young stager" into still msre amusing and bolder con trast. The music was, of course, selected from the well known Opera II Barbiere de Seviglia. Although the ma terials of this little trifle are slight, they have been thrown together with great tact and effect, and it is no more than' the due of the dramatis persona to say that they did ful justice to the respective parts entrusted to them. The see nery and dresses are as splendid as they are appropriate' and on the whole we anticipate that the piece will become a favourite with the frequenters of this little theatre. The appeal of Mr. Liston at the conclusion was irresistibly lu dicrous. Representing author and actors, lie stood for ward and, addressing tho audience, said—with all possibl e gravity— " Though human errors to my share may fall, Look in my face and you'll forget them all." A burst of laughter and applause followed this appeal, and the piece was given out for repetition, amidst loud and ge neral approbation. The house was well and fashionably attended. THE CLOVEN FOOT.—We 'derive our popular re presentations of Satan from the Pan of the ancients, the horned half-man, half-goat, the well-known inspirer of a fear which still goes by his name—panic ; and this Pan, or Satyr, was, it must be confessed, a most ugly, unnatu ral monster. Hence, undoubtedly, the " cloven foot," which is supposed to characterise mankind's arch-enemy ; and, figuratively, is said to be displayed when some latent wickedness peeps forth from words and deeds of fair seem ing. But it is curious that in nature animals with the hoof, or" cloven foot," are harmless, generally timid, and (if we except the ferocious porcine genus, some of whom occa sionally cat flesh when they meet with it) dependent for their food upon herbs, vegetables, and plants. The claw footed animals are, with a few exceptions, carnivorous, fierce, and hurtful ; and, therefore, we are inclined to award the palm, reserved for painters of the arch-fiend, to a genius (whose name, if we ever knew, we forget) who, in our old friend, the !' Pilgrim's Progress," has represented Apollyon with formidable claws as hands and feet ; and more, in truth, " like a ramping and roaring lion," going about " seeking whom he may devour," than like one of those gentle, grazing, hoofed creatures, often eaten by man, but never returning the compliment upon him in kind.— The Mirror. .• 4 • • . Mademoiselle Levasseur, who is said to be worih 30,000 or 40,000 francs a year, lived alone and without a servant, and did her own work, though she was 54 years of age. Tuesday last, a man of respectable appearance called at her house, describing himself as an agent for the sale of houses. He returned next day, and whilst Made moiselle appeared to be reflecting upon an offer for the purchase of a house of which she is owner, in the rue St. Honore, the stranger, seizing her by the throat, threw her down and (hew her into the kitchen, where he put an end to her reistance by stabbing her three times in the throat with a dagger. Thinking she was dead, lie went into his victim's bed-room, took the watch which hung over the mantelpiece, and, approaching a closet, was pre paring to open it, when he perceived Mademoiselle Le vasseur, who, having raised herself, was crawling, covered with blood, towards the entrance door, which she had already laid hold of, and was crying out with all her strength , " Help ! murder ! they are murdering me !" Terrified at this horrible apparition, the murderer, who feared he should be discovered, darted towards the door, pushed the unfor tunate woman aside, and running down the staircase was soon lost amidst the windings of the surrounding streets, whilst Mademoiselle Levasseur, who still retained strength enough to get to the upper story, reached it bathed in blood, and fell Senseless, after saying that an attempt had been made to murder her. Mademoiselle Levasseur is still living, but she is very weak, and can scarcely utter a few words.-- Paris Paper. Prince de Polignac was expected to leave the dungeon of Ham on Sunday or Monday last. He had first intended to proceed to Germany, but has since determined on coming to this country. After spending a fortnight in London he will repair to Devonshire, whither he will shortly be followed by his amiable lady. The Prince, who is accompanied by his eldest son, travels in the custody of 'a Captain of the Gendarmerie, whose instructions are not to quit him until his deporture from Calais, but, at the same time, to treat him with due regard, and pay him every attention that his long sufferings and injured health may require. Though not permitted to quit his prison until able to proceed direct to a foreign country, its gates have been thrown open to all his friends, and most of the respectable inhabitants of Ham have availed themselves of the indulg ence to wait on him and congratulate him 'upon the reco very of his liberty. M. de Polignac is now aged 56, and has altogether spent 16 years and 4 months in captivity'. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 29.

Ile - Counsel for the plaintiff were Sergeant Jat,dtson; Mr.• Bennett; R.C., , and Mr: Smith, K.C. Mr. O'Connell applied to . the Court to set aside for irre. gularity, the cYrder of the 28th of January last, and a writ of commission of rebellion, and of renewed commission founded on that ordt't; of l the ground that no writ of procbmation, or any previous procCza of contempt, had been iSsued or de. livered to any sheriff, or atiy tviAti , n made thereat) or filed. (If Mr. O'Connell succeed in this pan vt his motion, the defendant must be set at liberty.) Mr. O'Connell prOtTwied - at great length with tho afgef. ments in this cause, which ivas , ono involving only dry points of law. At the conclusion of Mr. O'Connell's argument the Chief Baron, addressing the Learned Gentleman said, you have argued this case in a most proper and able manner, and like a lawyer. After Mr. Sergeant Jackson, followed by Mr. Smith, and Mr. Dickson, had been heard on the other side in opposition to Mr. O'Connell's motion, the Court, in order to allow time to Mr. Smith to decide what course he would pursue, Baron Pennefather submitted to Mr. Smith, if the Court considered that under the 10th rule of the contempt, and that independent of Ile grounds upon which the motion was founded, they should order the defendant to be discharged, and the plaintiff entering an appearance for him, would there he grounds for retaining the defendant ? Mr. Smith then said he was willing to accede to any suggesti.on of the Court, and would enter an appearance ; but even doing so, he did not think the defendant ought to be discharged without giving security to abide the decision. Baron O'Loghlcn observed, that if the plaintiff entered an appearance for the defendant, the latter was tie longer in custody, and the Court could not detain him in custody to give security for costs. Baron Pennefather submitted to Mr. Smitb, whether ar resting the defendant on A writ of rebellion did not do away with the ancient right of compelling a party to give security to abide the decree. The Chief Baron suggested' to Mr. Smith to take until to-morrow morning before he decided on the course he would pursue. The Court then adjourned. BANKS.—The Banks are now (Tuesday evening) in full operation, with the exception of the Agricultural, which is making strenuous efforts towards its re.establish ment.—Dublin Evening Pod. Mr. O'Connell's letter appears to have produced confi dence in the country. At Gashel, a gentleman who had before sent in notes for a large amount to the Cashel Na tional Bank, the very evening lie saw Mr. O'Connell's let ter, deposited in the Cashel National Bank, 1,1341. in gold, to shew his renewed confidence in that establishment. The Catholic Clergy are always at their posts. In every crisis in which the temporal as well as the spiritual intekests of their flocks are involved, there they are to be found admi nistering advice, assistance, or consolation, as the emergency may require. In Limerick, for instance, they have been endeavouring, since the run on the banks commenced, by frequent addresses from their altars, to allay the panic which had been spread among the agricultural classes, and to convince them of the folly and injustice of pressing upon the establishments whose very constitution affords ample security for the payment of their liabilities. Such has been the mischievous effects, we are informed by a Limerick contemporary, of the recent insane attempts to destroy the public confidence in these establishments, that in that part of the country the value of agricultural produce has been depreciated nearly 30 per cent. We.are glad to find, how ever, that in the city of Limerick the demand for gold has entirely ceased ; and the county parishes are, in almost every instance, holding meetings to express their confi dence in the security of the Joint-Stock Banks, and their determination to support them.--Pilot. As a fair specimen of Conservative candour, and Tory liberality of construction, we give room to the commence ment of a tirade that. the Cork Standard has been pleased to level at " Governor O'Connell," as our Contemporary de lighteth to designate the Hon. and patriotic Member for Kilkenny Without expecting any very painful for bearance from the indulgence of either principle, prejudice, or habit, it might have been reasonably expected, that when Mr. O'Connell, in his capacity of Governor of the National Bank of Ireland,' threw himself, his family, and all their wordly possessions, upon the good sense, generous feeling, and humane consideration of the country, he would in his capacity of Governor of the Agitation'—as leader of the anti-Protestant crusade, civil excommunicator of all Saxons," Heretics,' Orangemen," Conservatives,' and Tories'—have affected some reserve in his nefarious en terprize, and put out some indications of temperance, or moderation ; for as to any thing more, even his hypocrisy, after what has occurred, could not pass it off. He ap pealed, and very properly, from the madness of the moment to the sanity of sober reflection, to protect himself and his family from utter ruin ; but there would have been an im posing air of consistency in his conduct, had he made some appeal to the universal good sense, and to the honesty and humanity of the people of Ireland, in favour of the coun try—which has been brought on, by his own means, in a vast degree, to the brink of a sad and sanguinary cxplo • skin. Mr. O'Connell has told the country at large, of the stupidity and evil of those runs on the banks for gold— which we hope we may say are now blown over—s-that if persisted in, they must bring sure ruin upon those besotted creatures themselves. who resorted to them as the only re source in the moment of their panic—and he points to a plain and discernible consequence, as a claim upon their better feelings, namely, that every shilling which lie pos sesses in the world, and the properties of his son and also of his son-in-law, are pledged as security for the Bank of which he is the Governor." We will not throw a word away on this discreditable dis play of personality. DEMAND FOR GOLD.—The run on the Banks have to , tally ceased in Wexford, an 4 it gives us much pleasure to be able to add, that all the depressing effects which the panic produced upon business 'of every description are fast disappearing, so that we May expect in a few days com mercial trans actions will have arrived at their previous steadiness. treaibrd Freeman. The Freeman says, the above paragraph states the opi nion of the entire provincial press on this subject—so, though we quote no more, It may betaken as the sentiment of all. _ _ THE POST-OFFICE.—Every day brings us new com plaints of the irregularity with which the newspapers are transmitted through this office. A Drogheda subscriber states that his " his paper has been stolen every Monday for the last five . weeks." There is a system in such plunder which is most disgraceful. Newspaper property will be worth nothing if it be longer tolerated.—Freeman. We ourselves here in England frequently, almost daily, indeed, have occasion to regret the extreme irregularity of our newspaper arrivals from . Ireland. HUNGERFORD-MARKET. A general meeting of the Hungerford-market Company was held yesterday at the Office of the Company, Villiers street, Strand. In the absence of Earl Devon, Martin Stuteley, Esq., was called to the Chair. The Report of the Directors, read to the meeting, pre sented a very favourable view of the affairs of too Com pany, every source of revenue having materially increased during the last half-year. The Report also stated that an arrangement had been made with the projectors of the Hungerford and Lambeth Suspension Foot Bridge, mu tually advantageous to both Companies and to the public ; and that the erection of a suspension bridge on the pro posed spot, held out prospects of great benefit to the Hun gerford-market Company. From the statement of ac counts laid before the meeting, it appeared there was a surplus revenue applicable to the purposes of a dividend ; but after a discussion of some length, it was determined by the Proprietors to postpone the declaration of a dividend for the present. Thanks were unanitnously voted to the Chairman and the Court of Directors ; and, the me eting, which was very nu merously attended, separated, highly gratified with the im proved prospects of the undertaking.

He has availed himself of these advantages in a manner which reflects considerable credit upon his taste and judgment. M.

It was announced in the evening that Gomez had entered Se ville on the 15th, and that the Queen's troops had retired to Vttera, We repeat this 'news as a report, of course, without pretending to warrant its authenticity." The Count de Las Navas was not among the number of persons arrested on the 18th, most of whom were set at like /lip soon afterwards. We believe also that it is by mistake that the arrest of the Count de Fitment has been announced. _ General Oraa, Chief of the Staff of the army of the North, is appointed Captain General of Valencia. San Miguel, Captain General of Aragon, who is spoken of as likely to be Minister of War, returned on the 14th instant to Sarag ossa from Teruel. The siczure of of the Memoirs of M ademoiselle de Cochelet, was not for any political reasons, a Ministerial Journal announces, but it was in consequence of a dispute respecting the property of the manuscript. The Ministerial Journal has the following article : " BAYONNE, Nov. 27.—1 t is announced that on the 26th at noon, Espartero left Portugalette, with 15,000 men, to Proceed to Bilboa, by way of Balmaceda." We confess that we cannot understand this movement, the effect of which is to take Espartero away from Bilboa, Balm:twin being at a greater distance than Portugalette from that ptael, However, we at least find in it the assu rance that Bilboa was not taken on the 26th.—Journal du Commerce, Nov. 29: PArius, Nov. 28.—A report was spread yesterday of the approaching, departure for London of the English Ambas sador, Lard Granville, who is said to intend to resign his high post. His departure is attributed to serious differences between himself and M. Mole. From the information that we have been able to obtain, there is no foundation whatever for this report.—Constittetionnel, Nov- 2 9 - The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, after re maining a week at Bretby Park, in Derbyshire, a. ex pected to proceed to Gedling, his Lordship's hunting 1011;, - e , on the river Trent. - (From the Papers of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.) The death of Charles X. has occasioned a great move ment among the legitimatist party in France, who are anxiously loolng forward to the opening of the will of the late King, addressed to the Emperor of Austria, as his testamentary executor. The opening of that document will be attended with all the formalities usually practised in the old times or the monarchy on similar occasions. It is for that reason that the presence of the Grand Chan cellor is required. Now the Chancellor of Prague is not M. Pasquier, the President of the Chamber of Peers, but M. Pastoret, the former President, now too old to under take the journey to Goritz. M. Pastoret, jun., has, it appears, inherited his father's functions. According to the ancient usages of the Crown, the Grand Chamberlain must recognize the identity of the body of the defunct Sovereign, and as, according to the ideas of the old Court, the. great dignities of the realm are never alienated, Prince de Tal kyrand has been invited, by an autograph letter, to pro ceed forthvyith to Goritz, as Grand Chamberlain. It is said that the Prince, in reply, merely stated that his health did not admit of his accomplishing that duty, and that he signed his letter as Grand Chamberlain of the Crown. On Saturday Baron Verdeuille de Feuillas, editor of La France, was brought to trial before the Court of Assizes, upon an indictment for attacking the constitutional order of succession to the Throne ; for attacking the rights which Louis Philippe holds by the will of the nation, and for ad hering to a form of government different to the established government, in an article published by that Journal on the death of Charles X., in which, in the course of details occupying three columns, it gives several times to the Duke d'Angouleme the title of King of France and Navarre, and that of Queen of France to the Duchess d'Angouleme. He was found guilty upon each of the three counts, and sen tenced to three months' imprisonment and ,a fine of 300 f., with all the costs of the prosecution. A work entitled " Memoires de Mademoiselle Cochelet sur la Heine Hortense et la Famine Imperiale," was seized on Saturday morning at M. Ladvocat's, the bookseller. It was to have been published on that day. It is a pity that Mademoiselle Cochelet's work was not allowed to be published, for it was calculated to throw light upon some historical points which have up to the present time remained in obscurity. Prince Talleyrand has actually received an official noti fication of the death of Charles X., forwarded to him by M. de Blacas, but not in his quality of Grand Chamber lain, as stated by the Minerve. The Prince in a very polite answer requests M. de Blacas to thank the Duchess d'An gouleme in his name, but makes no allusion whatsoever to the Duke d'Angouleme or the Duke de Bordeaux.-Illessager.

CASSELL, Nov. 22.—This day the Prince co-Regent opened the Assembly of the States by the following speech : " It is with the liveliest satisfaction that I see . you assem bled round the throne for the purpose of doliberating on measures necessary for the good of the country, in confor mity with our constitutional statutes. The present prospe rous condition of our country, which is o wing to the refor ms effected in the midst of the tranquillity we enjoy, consti tutes my best reward for all my efforts to secure the happi ness of my subjects. The laws passed during the la s t ses sion have produced the happiest results. Th e j u di c i a l forms have been simplified, and the rights of the c itizens strengthened by a new foundation, will receive a p ro p er de velopment when the laws which define them are more ge nerally known.

You will net in c onfor mity with the same principles, when you adept regulations affecting the different interests of the class of p casants.

Tii ac'cotints which will be submitted to you will prove that the wietest regularity has been introduced into the administration of the finances.

UNITED STATES. The private accounts from New York, which are of the Bth in tint, do not quite bear out that improvement in the money market, which is stated by the Journals to have taken place. Then still existed what would be called here a very high rate of interest—that is, from 14 to 2 per cent. monthly, but the pressure was not believed to have extended very deep into the commercial body , and the circumstance that no important failures had occurred in that class up to that time, was held to be of tolerably good augury for the future. The mis c hi e f, if' any, wouldfall upon the specu lators in stocks, s h ares , and lands, whose ruin would be comparatively far less injurious to the community. The retention of the surplus revenue for distribution among the several States, with the general e nnsequences to the money market of such accumulation, continue to be prominent topics O f discussion in these accounts.- Up to the sth instant, this surplus amounted to 46,000,000 dollars—above 9,000,0001. s terling.

It has been stated, however, in reply, that this is no fault of the Treasury, which could not possibly dispense with the condition for payment in specie, but the fault of the banks themselves, who avail themselves of these orders whenever they pass through their hands, by insisting on that condition and de manding specie. This is (lake satisfactory to all who know what competition in banking is and must be, in a country which is perfectly inundated by it. That these orders have had great influence in producipg the general pressure for money in the United States cannot , however, be denied. With respect to the order for payoents in specie in the pur chase of public lands, which is another assigned cause of the embarrassment, it can have had comparatively but little effect ; and it is well remarked, that "any one who is aware of the nature of the land sales, and what a large amount in purchase an inconsiderable sum in specie will pay, in its constant circulation from the land-office to the i:Aeighbouring bank and back to the land-office, must be satisfiel that the regulation in question cannot have had any pereeptii ,s le effect in producing the general financial pressure. Stocks of all kinds are stated to be firm at the quotations, with a ten dency to advance. THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. The Toulotinais of the 23d, Nov. gives the following de tails as to the voyage of the Priece de Joinville in the. East :—" On the 26th of October the Iphigenie sailed from Cyprus to Latakia in Syria, where she arrived in the morning of the 28th. The Prince, accompanied by several officers, went ashore, and was received with ali thelonours due to his rank. On the same day the frigate sailed, and on the following came to an anchor off Tripoli, where she found two Egyptian frigates getting under weigh; with the first regiment of Mehemet Ali's Guards, which was recalled to Alexandria. On the 30th the Prince and some of the officers went to visit Mount Lebanon. He was well re ceived by all the Christian tribes. On the 2d Nov. he re turned on board, accompanied by the sons of the Shiek, who were loaded with presents at their departure, and were sa luted with a display of fireworks. On that day the Iphi genie sailed for Beyrout. On the 3d she fell in with a very fine Egyptian frigate, with Ibrahim Pasha on board, going to Tripoli. The accustomed salutes were interchanged, but the two ships had no communication with each other. On the 4th the Prince took an excursion on land, and the frigate.sailed for Jaffa, where she came to an anchor on the 6th. She was preceded by a courier from Mehemet lib, announcing the intended arrival of the Prince, and bearing orders to all the governors of the towns through which he was to pass to place themselves at his disposal. The Viceroy carried his attentions se far as to have the road to Jerusalem cleared, and every obstacle removed, know ing that the Prince proposed to go there. It was re solved that the caravan of pilgrims, at the head of which the Prince placed himself, should leave Jaffa the same evening, and should return to Caiffa, where the frigate was to meet it. The caravan, in fact, set out at six in the evening, accompanied by the Governors of Jaffa and Gaza, and escorted by 100 irregular cavalry. After marching for three hours, it arrived at Ramza, and there stopped for the night. At 11 the next morningit was met on its way by the Governor of Jerusalem, at the head of a con siderable body of cavalry. At 2 o'clock the Prince reached the holy city. The troops were under arms, and all tho Chris tians in Jerusalem appeared upon the glacis. The prince took up his abode at the convent. The rest of the day w as oc cupieu viewing all the points rendered sacred by the Pas sion and ether holy spots, and in a visit to the Governor, who promised His Royal Highness to obtain permission for him to enter the Mosque of Omar, which no Christian has hitherto been ever suffered to approach. The next morning the Prince was admitted into this sacred enclo sure but all without felt one general sensation of terror, and more particularly when a fanatic was heard to cry out against the profanation, and excite the populace to revolt. The Governor, however, by posting some of the most de voted troops at differ ent p oints, prevented any evil con sequences. The Prince then breakfasted with tho Go vernor, and afterwards went through the olive-gardens, and other places worthy of note. On the 9th the caravan left Jerusalem, and returned to Caiffa by Bethlehem, the Jordan, the Dead Sea, and Nazareth. Soliman Pasha was waiting to receive the young Prince at Nazareth, conducted him in royal state to St. John d'Acre, and remained with him till he went on board the Iphigenie; which, after e.auching at Milo, sailed for Malta, where his Royal High nes; visited ali the British ships of war in the bay, reviewed the troop formiog the garrison, and appeared at a ball given expressly on hi! arrival."

Various means of getting' rid of this pl a t ac, previous to the proposed removal, have been tried in vain. Even poison has failed, and besides, this is attended will' nutl)e rous\dangers. The most successful expedient has been ire" quently hunting them with dogs. To render the slllughter the more extensive, all their burrows or outlets are stopped at midnight, and then, in the morning, the chace has beets made by torch-light. On some of these occasions as many as 45,000 of these animals have been killed of a morning ! Their skins, when properly stripped off, without holes or other damage, are sold at one sou a-piece, to make gloves. During the last year these &Outs have been very much at. tended ; and two gentlemen well known in the fashionable world have been eager to join the spo with their dogs ; and a third, who prefers finding his game closer at home. has, it is said, had numbers of them bagged, 04 brought to afford him amusement within his own territories, -to the great annoyance of his neighbours. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, head of the cider branch of the Bourbons, has officially an nounced the death of his father to all the Courts connected by relationship with his family.
