Houses, just two months and a half—almost the moiety, and decidedly the most precious portion—of the session will have elapsed. In this period, the ex perience of almost every previous session since the Revolution, has established the fact, that all measures of administrative economy—all decrees of Parliament which require for their salutary and efficient working mature discussion and frequent previous appeals to the judgment of legislators and the feelings of the people, whom those legislators purport to represent — should be, as to their principles, affirmed or nega tived. The remainder of the session, after an Easter recess, is always all too brief for an accurate, a care ful, or even a conscientious examination of the details of Bills which have been introduced prior to that period. Now let us see what operations, coming within this class of public business, the Administration of Sir R. PEEL has hitherto accomplished. By favour of the House of Commons, and a sort of well-bred acquiescence in the House of Lords, which is always reluctant to take any course that may have the appearance to the Court of opposing obstacles to routine State business, brought forward by the accre dited Ministers of the Crown—a great proportion of the annual estimates have been voted. So far as the departments of the service of the country, therefore are concerned, provision may be said to have been made for them at an early stage of the year. It must be allowed, too, to the credit of Mr. GOULBURN, a man of less plausibility and modest pretensions, but, we are disposed to think, of much sounder talent than his Right Hon. Leader, that he lost very little time after his financial project, in proceeding with the Bills, &c., forming part of the machinery required for working his measure for the conversion of the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Then, with regard to railway legis tion, badly as we were disposed to augur from the un meaning, aimless speech of the President of the Board of Trade some weeks ago, the Third Report of the Select Committeipn Railways',(which we reprinted yesterday) has more than kept faith with the public, as to any promises made by or on behalf of her MA JESTY'S Government) touching the progress of the Committee's labours on that subject. But with these items, we fear we must say, our catalogue of the achivements of the Premier's Government must end. What are the questions—the instant, urgent, im portunate, vital questions, with which it has not yet grappled ? What are the classes, burden hampered, starving, stern, and desperate, who have been vainly knocking at the doors of Parliament six years past, and have announced a common term to the limits of this session and their own endurance, whom the sagacity of the Premier has disarmed of their hostility ? The large amendment of the poor law—the present relief of the hand-loom weavers, and the provisions of some permanent security against their perpetually recurring seasons of hideous destitution—which of these objects has the Premier entertained to the extent of suggesting any remedial or precautionary measures in reference to them ? Ireland, he told us, in 1840, as he had before said in 1835, was his principal difficulty on coming into power. Did he intend, by the State prosecutions instituted under his orders against O'CONNELL and the other Repealers, or in the mode adopted, with his sanction, by the law officers of the Crown in con ducting them, to remove these difficulties ? Has he yet taken one step to conciliate the estranged affections of the Irish people ? The whole case of Ireland—of its accumulated wrongs and their in definitely postponed redress—has advanced no further this session than the revision of the Standing Orders, and the renewal of their anomalies. The returns of the revenue this year have been made ' a day earlier than usual, owing to Good Friday falling ;the sth of the month. They are, on the whole, satis fek.tory. The Customs and the Excise, the two great soul ces of revenue, show a considerable increase, thereby evincing an improvement in trade and in the comforts of the people. The total revenue for the year is 60,396,977/. In the Customs there is an in crease of 658,333/. on the year, and an increase of 384,910/. on the quarter ; and for this the country is probably indebted to the attention of the Government being called to the nefarious robberies which have for years been committed in that department. Next year, when, we hope, the Commissioners of Customs will be compelled to attend to their duty, we may expect a still more favourable result. In the Excise tie increase on the year is 474,6071., but the increase on the quarter, as compared with the Customs, is very - small, being only $5,3161. On Stamps there is a decrease in the year of 12,6991., and an increase on the quarter of 45,8851. The Taxes show a decrease of 73,0641. on the year, and an increase of 1,987/, on the quarter. The increase in the Income-. tax for the year is 2,000,599/., and for the quarter 107,6271. The Rost-office also shows a considerable increase, being 15,0001. for the year, and 30,000/. for the quarter. This is a proof of the briskness of trade, and we hope,. also of the de sire of the Post-office authorities tot carry out the penny postage system in accordance with the original plan. Much, however, yet remains to• be done to render justice to this great improvement i. a all the re lations of commercial and private intercoulme; and the public would rejoice to see Lord LoNsDA LE, or any other public officer who may be at the he p.d of the establishment, direct his attention, not so 3rnuch to revenue or the convenience of the individuwils under trim, as to the great interests of the public.. In the - :‘,/Lvellaneous, there is an increase of 336,703..1 on the year, and a decrease of 500,264/, on the quarter, caused, :to doubt, by the want of Sy cee s il ver, b ut next quar,ter will probably show a different return ; another insl'alrnent from the Celestial Empire will restore the bai:lnce. The total increase for the year is 4,700,669/., for the quarter 825,2981., and taking the decrease into acopant, there remains an increase in the year of 4,31A 167 /., and on the quarter of 326,034/. The total amain t for the Post-office during the year is 622,0001. On the whole, these returns hold out bright prospects, ancl taking into account the revival of trade, and the reduction of the Three-and- Te k ok forward with Three-and a-Half per Cents , the p ublic ma y some hope to the abolition of the Inc o.me-tax. Abortive Bills for extending the jurisdiction of County Courts, facilitating the recovery of small debts, reforming the whole system of our Eccle siastical Courts and their jurisdiction, and re gulating the hours of employment in factories, have been brought in—with the sanction of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, or by some one or other member of it. As they have been brought in, so, to all appearance, they are likely to be carried out : that is to say,—" scarce half made up, and that so lonely and unfashionably" that RICHARD, Duke of Gloucester, himself would have been ashamed to stand godfather to them ! The obstinacy of Sir J. GRAHAM on Irish Church, Factory, Prison, and Poor-law legislation is emulous of the Premier's on Free-trade, and Corn, Currency, and Banking. Precious hours were lost in the vain endeavour to justify the heartless denial of a pension to the widow of a gallant officer who had fallen in a duel, with the laurels which he had won in China, in his country's service, yet green upon his brow. The Premier dili gently pressed the authority of official precedents to warrant the pedantic harshness of the rule to be ap piled to the dead ; in forgetfulness of similar delin quencies on his own part, and that of other surviving duellists, his colleagues in the Government of ex post facto and of individual-persecuting penalties. The interests of millions of poor consumers, among his countrymen, of sugar, tea, and corn never broke in upon the self-Complacent flippancy with which he pronounced judgment against " the widow and the orphan" for the folly, already atoned in his blood, of the valian soldier, lost to the country as well as to them. In the intensity of his zeal to fight the battles of his party, the Premier permitted the Brazilian sugar debate to close—so far as his inter pretation is concerned—all hope of the British consumer's being allowed to avail himself of a market in which that produce could be available to him. Subsidiary questions as to the evasion by Foreign Powers of slave-trade suppression ' treaties, languished out of the notice paper.under the blight of Ministerial discouragement within the Lords and Commons, or disappeared in the limbo of dropped motions, which opens when a " No House" is dexterously managed to let them slip through to their untimely fate. The Oregon Territory, which is the ma s.. in topic of popular debate, declamation, or desire throughout the whole area of the United States, is a " blue chamber," hitherto, of which our official'Bashaws will not trust the key to any of the indiscieet Fatimas connected with him in Downing street or Whitehall. Commercial treaties, and the treatment, by our ally, of poor Queen POMARE,—are subjects which are alike taboo'd. Parliament must not ask;—the people must not know,—the Govern ment must not reveal,—one tittle about them, " at present." At any proposition for a vigorous remon strance on the part of Great Britain against the exe cra.ble tyranny of the traitor NARVAEZ, or the fiend ike brutality of the monster RONCALI, in Spain ; at any proposal to urge the Queen of PORTUGAL to dismiss from her counsels the incompetent and un constitutional Ministry of CABRAL ; our Premier assumes an aspect of mysterious terror and suppli eating wonderment, as if he feared that by delibera tion on the' one matter we should find ourselves in the dungeons of the Inquisition next morning; and by going into the other, resuscitate the vengeance of a POMBAL against all impugners of the pure wisdom of the "Most Faithful Majesty." It was our purpose to have commen led to-day, on the very inconsiderable amount of legisl. ttive business transacted in the House of Com mons from the first hour of the present session to adjourn ment on Tu es d ay l as t f or the recess. But we should have suspended the commentary we had to offer on the sins of omission to he charged against the least emphatic of Governments,—(we have no better de signation wherewith to characterise its singular lack ,If moral force),—could we, even now, int the evi dence of the past, detect any indications auspicious to the filture. But a careful revision of the " sayings ' 9 of Ministers evokes no latent " doings" frorn the an- D ols of Parliamentary statements and discussion. By th e time appointed for the re-assembling ; of the two taxation which levies thirty millions per annum on toiling artisans and producers, whilst this amount ought to be paid, as the Legislature contemplated it would be, by the wealthy consumers of the products of their labour ? Nothing. Behold the account of work " done and performed"—of the work yet to be achieved before the close of the sebsion ! One of the most affecting cases of suffering and destitution we ever remember to have read of, was made known yesterday at an inquest held by Mr, WAKLEY, on the body of WILLIAM BROWN, aged one year and eight months, the son of a poor shoemaker, residing at 27, A lsop-mews, Dorset-square. On the jury viewing the corpse, they were much struck with the extreme cleanliness, though evident poverty of the apartment; but their attention was more particu larly attracted to the emaciated forms of the parents, and five or six young children by whom they were surrounded. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased, without any previous illness, died suddenly, while sitting on his father's knee, on the afternoon of Satur day last; and it further transpired that the wretched parent had been out of employment for seven weeks, and the only means of subsistence he had was, by pawning, one by one, his articles of clothes and fur niture. He had not applied for parish relief, as he had the greatest abhorrence of " pauperising his family ;" more especially, he added, " as he had once been a respectable man in the parish, and had sat on juries before the Coroner, in cases similar to his own." In summing up the evidence Mr. WAKLEY observed,—" This was a case of real distress, The jury had gone to the house and found the child lying dead, without a coffin, the mother and six children sitting round in a state of starvation, and without a farthing in the world to obtain subsistence ! Yet not one word of complaint was made, and had not the jury made the discovery themselves, in all probability the real circumstances would not have been known !" It is too much the fashion in these days of fastidious refinement, to consider the destitute and helpless as reck less, desperate beings, who are prone to guilt from the circumstances of their situation, and utterly wanting in a sense of justice, consideration, and prin ciple. Here, however, is a case which proves just the reverse, and we mentioned a precisely similar one that was heard a few days since at one of the police offices. In the instance immediately before us, we find a rigid sense of self-respect, honour, and high minded principle rising superior to all those tempta tions with which squalid Poverty never fails to beset her victims, and coming out of the tremen dous ordeal unscathed ! Had the parents of these starving children rushed out into the streets, and snatched a loaf from the first baker's shop they came to, the offence would have been a perfectly venial one ; and dispassionate Justice, taking the miti gating circumstances of the case into consideration, would have relaxed the frown on her brow, and leaned to the side of Mercy ; but nothing of the sort appears to have been attempted ; the almost ir resiitible temptation was successfully struggled against ; and the parents of this famished family, with a heroism and magnanimity above all praise, preferred rather to die a lingering death by starvation; than to know themselves, and let their children know, that they had stooped to the crime of theft! And so they sate with their surviving children round their uncoffined boy, awaiting in silence and resignation the welcome hour that was to dismiss them all from life ! If ever there was a case deserving of public sympathy, this is that one ; and we hope that those who, at the call of the Bishop of LONDON, have sub scribed so lavishly for new churches, will not forget to subscribe at least the " widows' mite," for a case that is a thousand times more deserving of their conside ration. We are glad to learn by accounts from Madrid of the 28th ult., that no military executions had taken place at Carthagena, and that in all probability there would not be a repetition of the horrible scenes which RexcALl had enacted at Alicant. The Corporation of the city had entered into negotiations with the General, and while these were going on the insurgent leaders, with the assistance of the chief authorities, made their escape in a steamer. The. intelligence from Madrid is otherwise destitute of interest. The Three per Cents. were done at 35i for cash, and 361 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents, at 234 at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, M. GARNIER PAGES brought forward his motion for the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock. It was merely a matter, he said, involving the equilibrium of the finances, and it ought not to be forgotten that the conversion would produce the not contemptible saving of twelve millions of francs a year. con ceived that the reduction of interest would be parti cularly useful to agriculture and manufactures. The first thing necessary for work of all sorts was capital, and as long as interest was kept high agriculture would in vain, from loans being exceedingly onerous, make efforts to :develope itself, and manufactures would be incapable of resisting foreign competition. As to the fitness of the present time, there were three conditions to be observed in jading of it—everything was secure in the foreign relations of the kingdom ; all was safe at home ; and there existed commercial activity and health at home and abroad. The Minis ter of Finance admitted the right of the State to make the conversion, but did not consider the present time opportune for such an operation. Ire conse quently opposed the motion. On 'Wednesday the debate was resumed, when the Chamber divided, but so equally, that the President could not say on which side was the majority. On a ballot being taken, there were—for the motion, 154; against it, 163 ::majority for Ministers, 9. • The accounts from Naples in the Paris papers con tinue unfavourable. It appears from letters received from that city, that, an insurrection had taken place at Paola, a town on the coast of the Mediterranean, in which a colonel and several officers had been killed. Reinforcements of troops were on their march for Calabria. On the Paris Bourse the Five per Cents. improved in consequence of the opposition of the Goyernment to the , conversion of that stock.

On Wednesday the motion for reducing the interest on the Five per Cent. Stock was rejected in the Cham ber by a majority of 9. The Univers states that twenty-nine archbishops and bishops have already declared their adhesion to the sentiments expressed by the Archbishop of Paris in his reply to the Minister of Justice and Public Worship. According to the Constitutionned the Bishop of Chalons has written to the Minister of Justice and Public Wor ship, stating that his letter to the Abbe Combalot was not intended for publicity, and blaming severely those. persons who resort to the journals to embitter the diffe rences between the Clergy and the University. The banns of marriage between Baron Excelrnans, the son of the General, and Mdlle. Bertrand, were published on Tuesday at the Mairie of the first Arrondissement. The Princess de Canino, widow of Lucien Bonaparte, has made a present to the Museum of Calais, her native town, of the painting by Correggio called La Vierge au Bandeau. The Princess de Canino was born at Calais in 1778. Her father, Charles de Bleschamp, was an advocate of the Parliament, and receiver to the entrepot of tobacco at Calais. A meeting of the admirers of the writings of M. Casi mir Delavigne, in Paris, was held on Monday, to form a Committee for raising a subscription in aid of that at Havre, for erecting in that town, which was his native place, a statue to his memory. M. Vatout was called to the chair, to which he was considered to be peculiarly entitled, from having been the first introducer of the poet, in his youth, to the King, when he was Duke of Orleans,. His Majesty has himself opened the subscrip tion with a contribution of I,ooof. _ _ • During the last month, the amount of the deposits in the Paris Savings': Bank was 4,235,4394':, and of the re imbursements, 4,105,000 f. There were 30,155 deposi tors, of whom 3,576 made deposits for the first time. Accounts from Madrid bring intelligence that all the insurgent leaders at Carthagena had made their escape by sea. LAW AND POLICE. At Guildhall, Charles Freeman, aged 24, was brought by Daniel Forrester before Sir John Key, charged with having committed sundry forgeries upon bankers in the City, by means of forged cheques. William Shepherd, a clerk in the house of Messrs. Childs and Co., bankers, Fleet-street, stated that on the 12th of March last, a cheque was presented to him by some person for 55/. 10s. 23. the cheque purported to have been drawn by a Mrs. MtPherson, who had liberty, through her trustees, to draw on the house. The cheque turned out to be a forgery. One of the notes paid upon this cheque had been passed by the prisoner to a hatter in the Strand. The prisoner was remanded, in order that further investigations may be nude. Yesterday, George Rittman was brought before Mr. , Long, at Marylebone, for final examination, charged with having broken into the house of his grandmother, Mrs. Todd, an infirm old lady residing at Kensall-green, and stealing various articles ; and also with having, by means of a forged order in her name obtained money from Mr. Fenton, a baker, living at the above place. A few additional facts were now elicited, and the prisoner was committed for trial upon both charges. James Ward, late a dray man in the employment of Messrs. Elliott and Co.. brewers, Pimlico, was brought before Mr. Henry for final examination at Lambeth street, on a charge of embezzling the sum of 91. 14s. 2d., which he had received on account of the firm. A somewhat important point arises in this matter. It appeared that the prisoner was acting for another person who was ill, and who paid him (prisoner) for what he did. This rendered it doubtful if the prisoner was the servant of the prosecutors. If not their servant, he could not be convicted of embezzlement. The prisoner, who when apprehended said he had got drunk and lost the money, was fully committed for trial. At Worship-street, two young men of, bad repute, named Edward Rou r k e an d John Sanders, were charged with robbing the house of Mr. John Dimmock Aspland, an underwriter at Lloyd's, and resident in Grange-road, Dalston. The prisoners were remanded for the comple tion of the evidence for their committal to Newgate for trial. At Greenwich Police-court, a batch of twelve prisoners was charged with picking pockets at the launch at Woolwich on Wednesday. Mr. Jeremy said he should commit every one for trial, for it was disgraceful that the public could go to no place of amusement in the vicinity of the metropolis without organised gangs of thieves attending. The prisoners were committed to Newgate. COTTILT-wasizsONAXIME. Letters from his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to her Majesty, and Mr. G. E.

Greenwich, where they dined. gay as and the numb er o f persons . w h o had and pleasing appearance ,f rom t h e At half-past four they p ro ceeded to the river, which pre fisehnotenedss of t a very he assembled to witness the proceedings, in which they ap peared to take great interest. The yachts were admirably fitted up. The a musements of the day were brought to a close about eight o'clock. To-day (Friday) the vessels will cruise in ditferent_ directions, visiting the Nore and the Medway. On Monday last a new re gulation came iato.peoration, in the long room, Custom-hou se , o f stamp i ng in words at full length the exact time at which the warrants, or merchants entries, leave there for the several docks and other stations. This is understood to be in consequenee of .a recommendation of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, to whom complaints have been made of delay in the transmission of those documents. A meeting of the subscribeis to the monument of the late Lord Edward Somerset was held at the Shire Hall, Gloucester, on Thursday last, when it was resolved to render the mason work of the monumental column more ornamental, the sum subscribed admitting of the extra outlay. • The fifth lecture of the British and Foreign Institute was given last evening at .the Hanover-square Rooms, to the members of this Society, who appeared to be deeply interested in Professor Grant's description of the structure and history of the polygastric animalcules.

The number of members `was considerable, including many ladies, and all seemed highly gratified. • VICTORIA PARK.—On Saturday the tenants of Bonner's Hall, which building . will be taken down for the entrance to the new,park, received notice from the authori ties:of Guy's Hospital, Co whom this property belonged, that they had, by the purchase of the houses, become the tenants of the Crown. Bonner's Hall, which was but one wing of the mansion of Bishop Bonner. is divided into about eight very tenantable houses, some of which have cellars, which, from their form and construction, were supposed to have been the prison cells of the Protestant martyrs of the time of Mary, and considerable interest is attached to the demolition of a fabric formerly belonging to one of the most violent in those times of fierce persecutors. Considerable interest is attached in the neighbourhood to the progress of the Park, and an eli gible piece of ground in the neighbourhood of Old Ford has been dignified with the title of the Royal Victoria Park Race course, where races are to take place, for the first time, on Easter Tuesday, the competitors to be restricted to residents in the Tower Hamlets. MEETING OP GOLDSMITHS, SILVERSMITHS AND JEWELLERS.—A numerous meeting of goldsmiths, silver smiths, and jewellers was held yesterday evening, to take into consideration a Bill now before Parliament to amend the laws in force for preventing frauds and abuses in the marking of gold and silver wares in England. Mr. Taylor was called to the chair. It appeared that the clauses to which the meeting objected are the 12th and 13th. These give power, upon oath of reasonable or probable cause of suspicion, to enter and search the premises of all persons manufacturing or trading in gold or silver wares, for forged marks and dies, as. well as searching for, seizing, breaking up and selling any wares that ought t o b e mar k e d, and of apping the proceeds to the general expen ses of the assay offices making such seizures. This power of seizing such wares as ought to be marked, would, it was declared, be most injurious and vexa tious to the various trades mentioned, and would jeopardise three-fourths of the articles now manufactured.

THE Goon SERVICE PENSION.—W 9 are. gratified to hear that the 'good service pension of 150/. per annum, which had fallen to the, patronage 'of the Admiralty by the death of Captain J. Coghlan, C.B:, has been bestoived by the Earl of Haddington en Captain Henry Prescott, CB. (1810). Captain Prescott's services during the late war v4re as bril liant as they were effective. He was a midship Man of the Penelope in 1800, when she captured the French ship of the line Guillaume Tell ; he served as Lieutenant of the leolus in Strachan's., action, and had ,command of the Weazle; 28 guns, from. 180$ to 1811, during which time he maintained the reputation which this sloop had acquired, by his being, constantly engaged with the enemy's flotillas and batteries in the Adriatic.. He was posted while in command of this vessel, for a gallant affair at Amanthea, .at which place he landed in command of a detaciment of seamen and marines from the Weazle, Thames, andirilet, and captured six gun vessels and a very large convoy. Captain Prescott was nominated7a - CB. in 1815, and his last employment afloat .w4s in the _Aurora, 46, in the Pacific, from the year 1821 1A24 ; where, as senior officer Of that station, he rendered *Portant services during the convulsions and revolutions in the SPaniih colonies- by 'lila indefatigable exertions in causing British interests to be respected at this *momentous crisis.

Great as was the concourse of persons at *Woolwich on Wednesday, to witness the launch of her Majesty's ship Boscawen, 70 guns, the assemblage yesterday at Blackwall was greater, owing to the novelty of three fine vessels being launched within one hundred yards of each other, viz., the Wellesley, East Indiaman, and Monarch, steam-boat, from Messrs. Green's yard, and a fine iron steam-boat called the Meteor, from Messrs. Ravenhill and Miller's, the engineers. The latter vessel was expressly for the Star Steam-boat Company. Owing to the fineness of the day, the scene on the river was very animated. The numer ous steam-boats were gaily decorated with their signal-flags, whilst the yachts of the Royal Thames Club, trimmed out in their gayest attire, highly en livened the assembled multitude by the many manoeuvres they made in scudding clear of the throng of craft that covered this part of the Thames. Black wall Pier and the Brunswick Wharf were densely crowded, and Messrs. Green's yard contained one moving mass of people. On the right of the Welles ley was erected a large gallery, for the accommoda- tin of the more select visitors. Under the bow was also formed a platform for the christening party ; whilst on the left, stationed on the Indiaman Monarch (not the steamer), another fine large East India ship, which will be completed in the course of next month, was the band of the Royal Marines, from Woolwich. Every spot where a sight of the ceremony could be got was occupied ; and even the Kentish shore, on the opposite sid of the river, was densely lined with spectators. Two o'clock having arrived, and being near high water, the order was given to launch off the Monarch steam-boat, and the work men commenced knocking away the few blocks that held her. In the meantime Mrs. H. Green, accom panied by a fashionable party, proceeded to name the vessel in the usual manner, and, on that being per formed, she glided off majestically into her future element, the company applauding, and the band play ing " Rule Britannia. She is a very fine vessel, about 200 tons burden, and is intended for the East Indies. All eyes were now directed to the " lion" of the day, and the heavy clank of hammers betokened that she would soon burst forth from her birth place. At a quarter past two, Lady Hayes was escorted to the bow of the Wellesley, where she performed the ceremony of christening her, officiating for the Duke of Wellington, after whom the vessel is named. All being in readiness, the labourers commenced knock ing away the dog shores, and after a minute or two of suspense, she proceeded steadily off the slip, with hundreds of human beings on her decks, the Royal Marine band playing the national anthem, amidst the tumultuous cheering of the thousands assembled. Her figure head is that of the great Duke. .She is 1,150 tons burden, 190 feet in length, and 39 feet beam. The brilliant company, amongst whom were observed Sir John Pelly; J. Hume, Esq., M.P. ; several of the Trinity brethren, Gurney, Esq., W. Baker, Esq., &c., retired to the Sailors'home in the East India-road, and sat down to a sumptuous enter tainment, a grand ball taking place in the evening to celebrate the event. The Meteor was launched just before the Wellesley. Miss Harmer, a fair daughter of the ex-Alderman of the City of London, acting on the occasion in naming her. She will be eighty horse power, and it is said she will be the fastest steamer on the river Thames. N - Awithstandi9g the immense assemblage of persons, not the slightest ac cident occurred. HAMBURGH PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, MARCH 22.—Major-General ,Louis Marie de Camps, who was taken ill at the same time as the late King, died on the 20th inst., in the 79th year of his age. It seems that he was brought up by the same nurse as the King, who kept him abciut his person during his whole life, and in 1811 gate him the commission of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Swedish service, which rank he had held in the French i army. He was born at Pau. In 1828 he quitted the Roman Catholic for the Lutheran Church. He has left two sons and two daughters. We hear that the design for the new royal arms of the kingdom, is approved, and the shield is now to be divided into two equal parts, one with the Swedish and the other with the Norwegian arms, whereas, hitherto only the third part has been allotted to Norway. CHRISTIANSAND, MARCH 15.—A report was 'spread here a few days ago that two English frigates had ap peared on our coast, and that a large fleet was coming in the North Sea. The captains of vessels just arrived from England did not see any such fleet, nor had they heard that an English fleet was destined for the North Sea; on the other hand, it was stated :that of the 30 English ships of the line which, according to a new resolution, are to be always kept ready for sea, bearing the name of advanced ships, 17 are already completely equipped, and are lying partly at; Ports- mouth and partly at Devonport. This news is con firmed by the accounts received from England by yesterday's mail. As for the report about the two frigates, and the fleet cruising in the North Sea, it is probably as true as that the captains of those frigates have sent a summons to the Governor of Christian.: sand to give up the harbour and fortress of Fielkeroe. ST.

A cook of ' a rich family, fell ill, and was obliged to. call .in , another person •to supply his place. The latter was •employed ten •days, .and demanded 50f. for his ser 'vices,- at the rate of sf. .a day. The other refused to ac- cede to this, unless his subStitute paid over to him—hat,, 5 per cent. on all the goods furnished to the family in the kitchen department during the ten days—they amounted to 350 f. ; 2d, ten kilogrammes of tallow purchased back by the.bntcher for If. 20c. the kilogranune ; and 3d, five kilo l grammes of melted fat, purchased back .also at If. 20c. the kilogramme. The substitute besides, had received 15 bOttles . of wine, at 75c, a piece,' which he had to account for. To these demands, it was replied by the substitute that he had received nothing in the shape of p er , centage , as the tradesmen refused him any allowance, as he was in the place-so short a time. He denied positively having received the other things, except the wine which was -necessary for his dishes, and -which was paid for by the mistress of the house. • The jdge de pai r inquired if the-cook's mast er wa s aware o f thi s sy s t em •of all owances, and received as answer that " every ,one was aware of the system„ his 'master, he supposed, as well as an other." • The • magi s t rate ,. after speaking severely of such practiCes, ordered the cook to•pay to the substitute his clahn• of 50f, ALLEGED HOAX. ---Yest er d ay, t h roug h out the day, a report prevailed in the, nelghbciuthood of the Bankof Eng- land f that a large sum , of money, in guineas, had been found by soiree of the workmen employed in Clearing the'lbundati of the houses which formed Bank-buildings.

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISE MENTS. From the Morning Post we extract a curious morceuu that is not without its instructive hear; ing on the question of social refinement and moral propriety among one class, at least, of the cen3mn; nity. The class is that whose "sayings and doings our Contemporary expressly records, in that vi° ; known department of his journal- which is devoted to " the Fashionable World. We have ever felt a si t !: preme indifference about the festive occupati o ns, tl" domestic engagements, and the appearances and dis;', appearances of these very obtrusive "people of quality , whose goings.out and comings in-,their whereabout s and their routine of movements—are-chr on i c l e d wit h a tedious minuteness in the inverse ratio of their ita' portance. To the daily business of men, living in s period of European peace inde e d, b u t no t . th e less °i extreme political excitability, the announcements e, t : three Honourable Misses H—, or of as many sm all Princes, each with a whole contingent of long a nd um pronounceable titles to his foreign back, having takes an airing, or taken fright; or honoured the Ojibbv way Indians, or the Thames Tunnel, or the :ancient Dowager Countess of , with a visit ; or fiftee n artists with last sittings for the o n e - an d-t w entie th portrait which has been painted of each.of them ;—er e matters utterly impertinent. Nevertheless, since there are, undoubtedly, those who take an interest in sue : " intelligence," nobody e ls e has any right t., find fa u lt with its being thus communicated. Bid we hope, '" future, that the intelligence in question will be coo' fined to its legitimate daily promenade among th e well accustomed parterres appropriated to the."

Yet it was from such a p es ition; strue by the evident symptoms it present e d o f h a vi n g I °7 „ ' its way, and being located' in some wrong doimen that we found—and have hastened to extricate--Y: " illustrious stranger" of the following interestinb notice:— " MATRIMONY.--A Young Nobleman, with large'eaPec ts i; tions, and at present with a moderate income, wiehee, throug a the present medium of an advertisement, to . meet with i Lady of fortune, who would be elevated to a high rank, 4 ' l o also meet with a young and kind partner for life: Lette ti addressed, pre-paid, to Coronet, 43, Upper Berkeley-str Connaught-square,. will meet with immediate attention.
