AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. THURSDAY MORNING• The arrival of the royal mail steamer Cambria, Capt. C. H. E. Judkins, at this port this morning, after a quick voyage of eleven and a half days, has put us in pos session of New York papers to the 31st, Boston the Ist, and Halifax to the 3d inst., all inclusive. The Cambria has brought home about sixty passengers. She expe rienced most severe weather on her outward voyage, having had her decks swept and her boats carried away. She reached Boston early on the morning of the 24th of January. . . We take from the New Ym k American the summary of the news by this arrival:— Naw YORK, JAN. 31, ONE, P.M.—The chief topic of inte rest and regret to be communicated by this steamer, is the now certain failure of Pennsylvania to pay her interest to morrow. Part, and a large part of it, may be paid, possibly, some days hence: but payment in full on the day is now out of the question. The new Governor, Mr. Shank, sent a special message on the subject on the 29th, and it looks like anything but present payment. According to the accounts from Mexico, Santa Anna has been totally defeated, his troops dispersed, and he himself prisoner. The accounts have been received both by way of Tampico and New Orleans, and also via Corpus Christi, Cialverton, and New Orleans ; still, however, as his affairs did not appear desperate at the last accounts it may not be true. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO—DEFEAT OF SANTA ANNA. The mail from New Orleans arrived yesterday with papers from that city of the 20th instant, in which we find news from Mexico of the 13th inst. If the reports that have reached New Orleans be true, Santa Anna has been defeated, captured, and is now a pri soner, where he was lately almost a dictator. The diplomatic corps, with the French Ambassador, Baron Alley de Cypre, at their head, offered their congratulations to General Herrera, on the 15th inst. General Cortezar, who, it will be recollected, deserted from Santa Anna at Celaya, the latter has at last entrapped by as act of audacious treachery, and at last accounts held him prisoner. Mr. Shannon, the Minister, has been more at ease since the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rejon, fled from Mexico. lie meets now more goodwill and a franker intercourse with the new Government. So does the French Minister, too, and it is supposed that many of the difficulties with foreign powers will be settled to the satisfaction of all. There is no news of importance from Canada. (FURTHER EXTRACTS.) It will surprise no one that Pennsylvania Fives have fallen to-day 1% per cent. The highest quotation is 70%. This stock stood yesterday at 72. Money is in considerable demand—and the banks are cau tious—yet while the legal rate of discounts is fully kept up, it is difficult to put out money on good mortgages at six per oent. Exchange on England is somewhat lower, although some bills still command 10k. The rate, however, may be quoted from 9i to 10. Of the Cotton market, the circulars we annex give full in formation. We have dates of 21st from New Orleans, and 22d from Mobile, which speak of more active business in both markets for Cotton, at somewhat improved prices. The question of establishing a Territorial Government in Oregon is now occupying the House of Representatives. On one point, all parties in this country are agreed, that Oregon is ours, and we must have it. Now, then, the only practical question is as to how and when. Whether the ne gotiation with Mr. Pakenham has led to anything in the way of amicable arrangement, or is a failure, will soon be known, as the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations in the House of Representatives, announced some days ago that a communication on that subject would be made by the President before adjournment, which must take place on 4th March. We trust that moderation and a due respect to peace will prevail on both sides. The best turn, probably, that could be given to the subject at present, would be that Congress should direct the President to give to the British Government the twelve months' notice required by the Convention be tween the two countries, and then at the next session deter mine about a territorial government, limits, &c.

Ultimately Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET consented that the Chairman should report progress, and stated that he would declare on Monday what course he would pursue with regard to the measure. The House adjourned at Half-past Eleven. The debate of last night, on Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S motion for a " Select Committee to inquire into the manner in which the money voted, since the year 1835, for the construction of ships has been expended, and as to the extent to which the ships so con structed were improved," was certainly the most im portant which has been taken, as yet, in the House of Commons since the commencement of the session. The division by which this valuable motion was lost, we must add, appears to us to have been one of the least commendable we have had to record. From the nature of Sir CHARLES'S very striking statement, it would be hopeless to attempt any analytical digest of the facts he adduced ; but they comprise a mass of details which every reader who desires to acquire a fair insight into the arcana and iniquities of Admi ralty Ship Building, will do well to study. The general question, suggested by the terms of the Gal- lant Commodore's motion, is one of such vast import ance, at all times, to the well-being, the independence, the very existence of this country as a First-rate Power, that we are too overpowered by its import ance to risk any review of the speeches it elicited, which might inadequately represent the grave and impressive character of the charges adduced by the gallant mover; the important confirmation those charges received from high professional authority at a subsequent period of the debate ; or the very lame and unsatisfactory defence to them offered by that distinguished officer Sir GEORGE COCKBURN. Sir GEORGE COCKI3URN had, indeed, this point to fall back upon, and he was not slow to avail himself of it; namely, that the charges applied, almost exclusively, to an epoch of Admiralty and Navy Board In the House of Lords, Lord STANLEY took the oaths and his seat. Lord CAMPBELL brought in the Law of Process Bills for England, Ireland, and Scotland, which he had proposed last year. After various petitions had been presented, and some returns ordered, The Earl of DALHOUSIE laid on the table certain reports from the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and took the opportunity of vindicating .the Members of the Board from the aspersions which had been cast on them, and of explaining the principles on which the Board had come to their decisions. The Noble Earl distinctly stated that the Board had never considered the claims of private interests, which were reserved exclusively for the consideration of Parliament, and that their reports were never intended to be of a conclusive character. lie also denied that any information had been surreptitiously given by any Alemb2r of the Board, and described minutely the means adopted to prevent the decisions of the Board from transpiring until they should be published in the Gazette. Administration some years prior to the last accession of Sir GEORGE to office. But how the House of Commons, with the case before them, set out in his broad, bold, uncompromising, manner, by Sir C. NAPIER, and incidentally and even through the adduction of other particulars into which Sir CHARLES had not entered, by Captain Rous, from the opposite benches (in a speech admirable for the Lord Bnoucniim ridiculed the idea that the decisions of the Board would not operate upon Par liament, and asked if those decisions were not in tended to operate upon Parliament, where was the use of taking such extraordinary precautions for preventing them becoming known until published in the Gazette r He thought a Board exercising such immense power should consist exclusively of the sworn advisers of the Crown. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought the instita frank, manly, and honest tone that pervaded it)—how the House could be brought to find a verdict for the Admiralty culprits, and nonsuit their impugner, in a Ministry understood the maintenance of them. It never therefore could have entered into the mind of any man of sense that such a question, chosen besides by the Ministry and parties in the Chambers as a Parliamentary field of battle, was a question of secondary order, an accidental question the solu tion of which did not directly interest the policy and existence of the Cabinet. had not.M. GUIZOT said that he would not be satisfied with a doubtful ma jority, and that for a good policy, the majority must ' be firm and decided? After forty-eight hours em ployed with all the activity of men who were playing their last stake, a majority of four was ob tained, and then, when the entire Address was to be voted, and when the policy of the Cabinet in its ensemble was more evidently in question, only three new votes could be added to the number, and the sense of such a division appears subject to discus sion and comment. The journal which has now doubts did not dissimulate the gravity of the vote, and came to the conclusion that the Ministry ought to retire voluntarily, not having lost the majority, but not consenting to govern with too weak a majority. A majority of eight, added the Debats, cannot satisfy a Ministry like that of the 29th of October. The 140 members of the Lemardelay club have not increased this majority of eight. It is a mockery to equivocate on what is as clear as the sun at noonday." The Ministerial papers on the other hand contend that the Ministry could pursue no other course, and that they would have neglected their duty to the KING and the country by resigning before their general policy was unequivocally condemned. Should the vote be unfavourable, it is understood that Ministers will not immediately resign, or perhaps not resign till the meeting of a new Chamber—that the urgent business of the session will be disposed of with all possible dispatch, and the Chamber will then be dis solved. The Journal des Debats contains some obser vation on the state of agriculture in France, the truth of which will be admitted by all travellers who have paid attention to the subject. Much is yet to be done for the country in that respect. The following complaints differ little from those made by VOLTAIRE seventy years ago t-- " Our situation in this respect is deplorable. Meat in France is scarce and dear. It is a species of food almost un division of 93 Noes to 32 Ayes, we cannot under stand. On such a question, as Sir C. NAPIER truly remarked, every representative of the people ought to forget, for the time, on which side of the House he sits, and vote only according to his own conscientious conviction of what his duty to the country requires at his hands. And what were the circumstances in connexion with the past operations of that department, to which is confided the supreme control and imme diate superintendence of our naval architecture in her MAJESTY'S dockyards, that the attention of the Muse was on this occasion invited to ? Sir CHARLES told them what was the complement and condition of our ships of the line and ships of war, in 1800, when he first entered the naval service, of which the first and second classes alone could be considered of the highest character and properties. He then gave a humorous, but a faithful account of the wasteful and incessant process of alterations, by cutting down, lengthening, taking to pieces, altering, and breaking up, which successive Admiralty Boards had followed, at a vast and ruinous expense, according to the caprice, or the favouritism, the folly or the incompetency, of the presiding authorities. He showed how, despite of re ports from the most qualified officers, of the tests of experiment and observation on the performances of vessels of different classes, those which ought to have been for ever discountenanced were built in numbers, only to be lost or laid up shortly afterwards ; and ships of the !Orce, capacity, armament, and qualities most to be desired, emphatically discouraged and neg lected. The " forty thieves" (ras ecs) and i the "donkey" frigates, and the "patent coffin" gun-brigs, came in for a just share of his sarcastic exposure. With regard to the unpardonable delinquencies,: the scandalous incompetency of the Admiralty under Lard MELVILLE'S Administration, during our last war with America, and the disastrous results of that reign of mismanagement and imbecility, he expressed himself in terms of severity by no means, in our judgment, commensurate with the official malfeasance of those days. He proved, irrefragably, that it was the feeling at all Boards ef Admiralty to discourage scientific improvements when brought forward by civilians : and to this cause, giving Sir W. SYMONDS, the Surveyor, full credit for some good vessels, he attributed the failure of the recent constructions by merely practical men. But the great force of his speech, and we state it with regret, was—the exhibition of our slow advances in naval war-steamer building, and the very capital defects of the best models we have yet got afloat ; steam-frigates, for example, without, in one class, any guns on their main-decks—in another with guns there, but no means of properly running them out and working them ; with prows and sterns too sharp or contracted for the one or two great guns they are meant to carry ; and other mistakes of draught-lines, &c., than which we can imagine nothing more urgently demanding instant rectification. The Terrible seemed to be admitted on all hands to be' the best steamer of this kind yet produced, though by no means faultless. This part of the subject, however, is of too much importance to be further pursued by us within our present limits, and we shall therefore, ;re turn to it at an early opportunity. known to the population in general, the peasants, particu larly in the poor departments, do not eat flesh meat ten times in the year. Our operatives cannot procure sufficient, and thence arises our inferiority in many respects with regard to manufactures. It is well known that an English operative can perform twice as much work, on an average, as a French workman. This fact has been established in the construc tion of our railroads ; but when it was inquired what was the relative proportion of animal food consumed by each labourer, it was ascertained that the British labourers consumed twice as much flesh meat as the French. We can easily compre hend, therefore, the disadvantage which our manufacturers labour under in their competition with other countries in consequence of the high price of meat. The inferiority of our agricultural produce acts in a most unfavourable degree upon our manufacturers. It has often been asserted that France ought to produce sufficient iron for her consumption. Iron has been declared as necessary in war as in agriculture. Horses likewise are necessary in war, and still we have been obliged to import 300,000 more than we exported between the years 1823 and 1841." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the Continental papers Count d'Appony, who possesses one of the richest do mains in Hungary, on which tobacco is cultivated, has lately, says the Courrier Francais, entered into a contract with the Government at Paris for the supply of 1,000,000 kilos., 2,000,0001 b. of tobacco in leaf. The Journal du Havre says :—" All the postmasters on the road by which the estaffette-mail runs between Paris and Havre have received notice from the Postmaster-General that, from March 1, the Administration will have no further need of their services ; and, consequently, that they might thenceforth dispose of their horses for any other purposes. The Post-office at Havre has not received any communica tion as to the new mode of service to be adopted for the con veyance of the dispatches in lieu of that now employed." A letter from Vienna, of the 4th, in the Journal de Franc fort, states that a famine prevails in part of Hungary, and that in one village thirty-six children had died of hunger. A letter from Dresden, Feb. 3, says :—" We have to de plore another fatal duel which has just taken place at Frei berg. One of the officers of the garrison, lieutenant W—, having at a ball trod on the foot of a lady, who was dancing with Count Dembinski, a student at the Academy of Mines, aged 19, and having forgotten to apologise for his awkward ness, was challenged by the Count. The weapons were pis tols, and the distance 15 paces. The Count grazed the arm of his antagonist, but the ball of the latter proved mortal, striking the Count in the heart. He had only time to ex claim, "My poor mother !" when he fell dead. The de ceased was the son of the late General Dembinski, who com manded the Polish army during the last revolution. The mother is still alive. She lost a few weeks back a daughter, aged IS, and has another daughter at present dangerously ill." Tuscany is not only constructing railroads, but the cele brated engineer, Count Marchetti Tomasi de Rietti, is en gaged in perfecting a plan for a junction between the Medi terranean and the Adriatic, by means of a canal, which would unite the Esino, the Chiasio, and the Tiber. Ile requires five years to complete his work. The Posdata of Madrid states that the Spanish Govern ment has conceded the intended line of railway from Madrid to Cadiz, with branches to Toledo and Jerez, for a period of 99 years, to a French company, but it is added that the Bank of Belgium has engaged to fur n i s h a th i rd of the cap i tal, which is estimated at 125 million s o f f rancs.

Lord STANLEY said that the Government never sought to influence the votes of Members on railway matter, and defended the proceedings of the Board of Trade. After a few words from the Marquis of LANS DOWNE and the Earl of DALHOUSIE, the House ad. The result of the proceedings in the Convocation at Oxford, yesterday, may well excite the greatest alarm among the Protestants of the United Kingdom. Mr. WARD, a man of high standing in the Univer sity, in a book lately published by him, has avowed his conviction that the English Reformation is "des titute of all claims cn our sympathy and regard ;" and that were we " to pursue such a line of conduct as has been therein sketched, in proportion as we did so, we should be taught from above to discern and appreciate the plain marks of Divine wisdom and authority in the Roman Church, to repent in sorrow and bitterness of heart our great sin in deserting her communion, and to sue humbly at her feet for pardon and restoration." It is impossible to find words which shall express in more unequivocal terms the fullest adherence to the doctrines of the Church of Rome—the abhorrence of Protestants, and which every Churchman has taken vows to resist to the ut most, yet we find, that at a meeting consisting of 1,363 members, not fewer than 586 supported Mr. WARD and the Popish religion. A motion for de. priving the delinquent of his degrees was then put, and carried by a majority of only 58. Among the supporters of Mr. WARD we find the names of Mr. GLADSTONE, late a Cabinet Minister; Dr. Hoox, Mr. 11. WILBER FORCE, Mr. COURTENAY, the protegee of the Bishop Of EXETER, and Mr. ERNEST HAWKINS, Secretary of the Society for Propagating the Gospel. We have not space for comments on this event, so full of danger to the Reformed faith ; but they are hardly required. Every reader can judge for himself, a n d every good Protestant will only be the more roused i to resist these innovators till a victory is obtained over the enemies of liberty and true religion. lourned. In the House of Commons the SrmAxER, took the chair at Four o'clock. Various petitions were presented, and notices of motion given. Among the latter was one by Mr. Baicarr for that day fortnight, on the subject of the game-laws. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET stated, i❑ answer to Mr. WALLACE, that there were persons on the pre sent 113 it ways Committee who were interested, more or less, in railway speculations. Leave was granted to the Sergeant-at-Arms to defend the action brought against him by TUOMAS HOWARD. Sir C. NAPIER then moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the manner in which the money voted since the year 1835 for the construction of ships had been expended, and if the ships constructed are an improvement upon the old system. The lion and Gallant Gentleman in the course of his speech went into a detail of the various experiments which had been recently tried in ship building, and gave an elaborate critique of their re spective merits. Mr. liumn seconded the motion. Sir G. COCKBURN, while admitting the justice of many of Sir C. NArIER's observations, vindicated the conduct of the present Admiralty from his animad versions. Ile considered a Committee of the House of Commons to be the very worst tribunal to which the subject could be referred, and concluded by stating that he knew what the strength of the French navy was, and he knew what that of Eng land was, and he was happy to be in a position to state that the naval force of England was much better and larger than that of France, notwithstanding all that had been said to the contrary. The House was then addressed by Captain Rots, Mr. C. WOOD, Admiral I3owLEs, Captain PEcuELL, Mr. CURRIE, Captain HARRis, and Mr. WAKLEY. On a division the motion was lost by a majority of 61, the numbers being, for the motion, 32 ; against it, 93. Mr. C. HOPE then moved for leave to bring in certain Bills relating to the management of the pro perty of Greenwich Hospital. After a short discussion the motion was agreed to. On the illation of Mr. TIIORNELY, certain returns relating to Trinidad were ordered to be laid on the I table. Madrid journals of the 6th inst. have been received, but they are destitute of interest. The Chamber, of Deputies were still engaged in discussing the Bill for the prevention of the slave trade, fourteen clauses of which had been adopted. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 32} at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 24 at 60 days ; and the Debt without interest at 7 at 60 days. THIS DAY'S NEWS. HOUSE OF LORDS-(T(IIS DAY.)

The arguments were resumed in this case, and occupied their Lordships the whole morning. The Lonn ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the appointment and payment of constables in Scotland. On the motion of Mr. CARDWELL, the Printing Commission was appointed. Sir J. GRAIIAM stated, in answer to Mr. HUME, that Sir R. PEEL would commence his financial state , ment at Half-past Four. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill. Some opposition was manifested when the first clause was proposed, and Mr. AGLIONDI and Nr. WAY The leading French journals are chiefly occupied with discussions on the present state of the Ministry, and the probable result of the vote on the Secret Service Money Bill ; but we find no new arguments and but very little that can interest the English reader. The Opposition journals continue to main tain that the Ministry have already been tried and found wanting, not on an accidental question, but on one of the very first importance—peace or war with England. These are the words of M. Limas' journal :—" The question of the PErrenAnDindemnity bore upon the principal act of the Cabinet in the terval of the session ; it had for an instant placed the peace of Europe in peril ; it was con nected, besides, with the question of Morocco, as is shown by the correspondence of M.

So short a period will elapse ere the full details will be laid before the public, that it is scarcely necessary to refer to the current reports of the day as to the changes which are likely to be made in the tariff, and possi bly in the income-tax. We cl.nnot, however, but reiterate the rumours which are in increased circulation, that some material change will be made in the sugar, the tea, and other duties; and buyers to a very considerable extent are holding back in order to ascertain the variations to be proposed this evening. The advices which have come to hand from Canada this morning, are generally speaking barren of interest, with the exception of the following extract relative to the lumber trade, which is from the Quebec Gazette of the 13th ult. : " A public meeting had been held at Toronto, on the 4th inst., of shipowners and others concerned in thel carrying trade of Canada, at which it was resolved that a petition should be drawn up and presented to the Legislature, setting forth the grievances under which they labour from the in terference of foreigners in the trade. The nature of the grievance is stated to be, that timber, cut and dressAl for market on the shore of Lake Erie, and throughout the western part of Canada West, is there purchased by foreign ers, carried by them in foreign vessels to French Creek, a port in the United States, rafted there; afterwards brought into Canada, entered at the Custom-house at Coteau du Lac as foreign lumber, nominally paying a duty of 5 per cent., and again shipped for the British market as Canadian lumber." Dates of December 20, from the Cape of Good Hope, state that at Natal matters were still unsettled as regards the emigrant farmers, and that many of them were leaving for Dergoa Bay.

ARUNDEL, THURSDAY EVENING.— Her Majesty and Prince Albert paid a visit to their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at the Castle, this morning, and partook of a splendid dejeune, served up in the Russian style. The party to meet her Ma jesty was confined to the family only, it being the wish that it should be considered in every way a private affair. Soon after her Majesty's arrival, nearly two o'clock, the Duke and Duchess accompanied her Majesty and Prince Albert through the state apartments;of the Castle, and it is more than gratifying to observe that both expressed them selves in the highest terms of admiration at the great taste shown by his Grace ;in tact, her Majesty stated explic tly that she had not seen anything equal to the splendour of the whole, more particularly the library, which is supposed to surpass anything of the kind in Europe. The Duke left this morning for Worthing, from whence he escorted her Majesty to Arundel. ' The weather was most unpropi tious, snowing heavily the whole of the journey. Her Majesty left about half-past three, by the same route. His Grace escorted the carriage as far as Calceto Hill, where her Majesty requested him to return on account of the severity of the weather. There was only one carriage with the Queen, which contained Colonel Wyld. It is now determined on that her Majesty .will pay us another visit for three or four days the latter end of the spring.—From a Corre.spondeV.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and after disposing of several unopposed lunatic petitions that stood on the paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part heard case of the Ludlow Charities, which occupied the Court the remainder of the day. When the case was first brought before the Court by Sir Charles Wetherell, on the 17th of December last, we shortly stated the facts. VICE-CHANCERY. --(THIS DAY.)

This was an indictment for perjury preferred againet the de. fendant, who was alleged to have sworn that he arrested a man, when such was not the fact. The case proceeded a short way, when it was found that there was not sufficient evidence to esti Wish the charge. The defendant was therefore acquitted. The Court then proceeded to hear common jury cases. Ex cnEQ DLit - 7 (THIS DAY.) an y Public interest came unkler the adjudi ca ti on of N t this s case Court. of INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER re RE JOINT MYNDE COOKE. The name of this insolvent, who described himself in his sche. dule as an attorney, has been already frequently before the public in connection with proceedings both in this Court and the Court of Bankruptcy. He had had many dealings in the way of bill die. counting, and other such transactions with Lord Huntingtower, Colonel Copeland, and Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratford. It may be in the recollection of our readers that considerable litigation en. sued in consequence of the latter gentleman refusing to pay certain bills of exchraige which had passed through the insolvent's hands. This day being appointed for the hearing of the insolvent, Mr. COOKE, who appeared on his behalf, applied to have his petition removed from the file of the Court. The Learned Coun sel stated, in support of the application, that the insolvent's bank. ruptcy and insolvency were wholly to be attributed :to circurn. stances over which he had no control. He had married a lady, who was in debt to the amount of several thousand pounds, of which fact the insolvent was in total ignorance at the time of his union with her. The insolvent also held certain bills of Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratford, which the insolvent ex peetesl would have been paid when they became due, hut they were not. Should they, however, be paid by Mr. Stratford, there would be a large surplus coming to the insolvent after paying all his creditors 20s. is the pound. The Curse COMMISSIONER said he should not dismiss the petition. Mr. COOKS admitted as there was an existing petition in the Court of Bankruptcy, all benefit which might be expected to arise from the control over the insolvent's property would be realised by that means. The COURT inquired if there were any affidavits of the facts in reply P to which the Learned Counsel answered in the negative. Mr. Commissioner REYNObDS said before he could entertain any such application as that made by the insolvent, he must the affida. vits detailing fully all the facts of the case. The further hearing was then adjourned. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.) LosnoN, FEB. 14.—Wind N.W., fresh breeze and fine clear weather, with a brisk thaw. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 13.—Wind S., moderate.—Arrd.

The supply of Barley being more than equal to the wants of the trade, the sale for that article was very dull at previous currencies. Malt moved off slowlr, yet prices were supported.

ANN's SOClETY.—Yesterday the half-yearly general court of the members of the above society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving. a report of the proceedings of the committee and electing twelve children into the asylum. Alderman Johnson was in the chair. The report stated that the institution is in a high state of pros perity, and notwithstanding the necessarily large expenditure, the committee had been enabled during the past year to add the sum of 1,5501. to its permanent funds. The Duke of Cleveland will preside at the next anniversary festival. The report having been unanimously adopted, the following resolution was passed : "That, in addition to the children elected by ballot at each half. yearly election, the child who shall have polled the largest num. ber of votes during the time that he or she has been a candidate, shall also be admitted into the Brixton Asylum, provided that he or she shall have polled upwards of two thousand votes during that period." The election then commenced, there being one hundred and two candidates, and at four o'clock, an hour after the closing of the ballot boxes, the names of the twelve highest on the poll were read. After voting thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. TROTTING MATCH FOR 401.—Yesterday the match between Mr. James's horse Paddy and Mr. M'Clue's mare, to trot in harness over twelve miles of road, came off on two miles of measured road at Penge, near Dulwich. The usual and necessary preliminaries being adjusted, the race was commenced, and the first mile accomplished in 3 minutes and 38 seconds, and the second mile turned in 7 minutes and 19 seconds; and at the cm. pletion of four miles, whirls occupied 14 minutes and 41 seconds, the mare had an advantage. They were pulled in and rubbed down, and resumed the match, and concluded four miles more in 15 minutes and 26 seconds. They were again pulled up and re freshed. and appeared rather distressed, the road being excceedingly heavy, and the race became one of strength rather than one of speed. They again started, and on the approach of the tenth mile the driver of the mare deemed it necessary to relinquish the race, and the horse was driven in the winner, accomplishing the twelve miles of road in 48 minutes and 45 seconds. Sr. STEPHEN ' S ON A QUICKSAND.—It seems that the new Houses of Parliament are built on a quicksand, which, says the account, " has a tendency to change places and shift itself." Considering how often the Members shifted and changed places last session, on the very same questions, we do not think a better founda tion could have been selected for them to deliberate upon. Hence forth our legislators will be able to shift on the best of grounds. It would read rather strangely, though, if the evening papers ended their Parliamentary report, some stormy afternoon, with an intima tion that the House was " left shifting," for the quicksand might shift the. House, little by little, right into the middle of the Thames. But we have one consolation—as Mr. Pattison is in the House, it will re quire no small power to move it. —Punch. FORTH v. LAWSON.—Our readers will recollect that, in the course of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's speech for the plaintiff in this case, the Learned Sergeant made some rather severe remarks upon the conduct of Mr. Clive, the magistrate at Wandsworth Police office. Two or three days ago, however, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd took an opportunity, when there was no immediate business before the Court, to say that he would, with his Lordship's permission, advert to a matter which had arisen on Saturday last, in the case of " Forth v. Lawson." lie had, in commenting on the proceedings before Mr. Clive, made remarks on the conduct of that gentleman which had been wholly unpremeditated, and were excited by the feelings of the moment, and which he felt to be unjust, and therefore was anxious to withdraw. As Mr. Clive had been a respected member of his own circuit, he felt the more anxious to withdraw remarks which were inconsis.ent with the esteem in which he had always held that gen tleman.—Tinze.a. ACCIDENT TO MONS. F. LEMAITRE.—This eminent actor, while en route from Paris to London to fulfil his engagement at tke St. James's Theatre, where he is announced to appear on Monday next, met with an accident from which his escape with life was most miraculous and providential. When about a league from Boulougne the horses of the carriage in which he was travelling took fright, when descending a precipitous hill from the negligence of the postilion the carriage was overturned with tremendous violence, and one of the horses killed on the spot, but fortunately M. F. Lemaitre, with the exception of being severely cut and bruised, escaped without any serious injury. Since his arrival in London, M. Lemaitre has been attended by Dr. Willey, through whose judicious treatment there is no doubt he will be enabled to fulfil his engagement. MARSEILLES, FEB. B.—Yesterday morning, at half-past ten, Sir Wm. Follett entered this port on board the steamer Alecto, from Naples. Sir William, on his passage, experienced most rough weather, so much so that it was at one time expected the Alecto would be obliged to run inter Toulon. During his stay in the Bay of Naples, the Alecto ran aground and lost all her boats. She leaves in a day or two for England to be paid off, having been five years on the Mediterranean station. Such has been the violence of the north-west winds for the last fortnight, that upwards of 200 ves sels have been obliged to seek shelter in the ports of Sardinia. Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., and Lady Blanche Bal four are at Whittingham House, near Dunbar, staying en a visit to Mr. and Lady Eleanor Balfour. It is entirely owing to the father of the Hon. Member remaining so unwell that he has not come to town to attend to his Parliamentary duties. We stated, yesterday, in referring to the legal ap poiu.ments of the Government, that it was generally believed that Mr. Baron Gurney had obtained a promise, that upon has resigning his son should obtain a silk gown. We are assured that there is no foundation for such a report. —Morning Poper. SUMMARY Or NEWS AND a Yip Optatott. " Who runs may read•" OREIGN.
