The Indian Mail of the Ist February announces the taking of Gwalior after two battles, in which the Anglo-Indian army lo .t more than 1,000 men in killed and wounded— the enemy sustained an equal loss. (Telegraph interrupted by tim night), THE GWALIOR. We reprint the following letter, which we received fro :n our Bombay correpondent by the last Overland Alail, in reference to the condition of our relations with the Gwalior Government. This document may serve to illustrate the important intelligence which reached us last night in anticipation of our expected dispatches from India. " BOMBAY, JAN. 1, "The most important intelligence of the month is that from Gwalior, where one of those sudden turns which are so often occurring in the affairs of India has relieved us of the ap prehensions of immediate war, which a fortnight since seemed inevitable. The army of exercise, whose details were partly gieen in my last letter, having been called together with the utmost dispatch, was, by the beginning of the month, found complete in all its details. Lord Ellenborough left Calcutta 'ion the 25th of November, and with the utmost dispatch reached Agra on the 10th December, and reNiewed the troops. On the 12th, the first brigade under General Valiant marched, the remainder following on the three next ensuing days. The left wing of the army, under General Grey, had meanwhile assembled at Jansi, and com menced its advance simultaneously with the force from Agra. The Gwalior chiefs, seeing themselves placedbetwixt a couple of magnificently-appointed advancing armies, and also know ing that they had to deal with one not to be trifled With, at once lost heart. The malcontent chiefs were placed in cus tody, and afterwards surrendered to us. The Government of the country was placed in the hands of the chief most favour. able to our interest. " A question of peace or war continued still to •be stoutly debated in the l)urbar, when the approach of the British troops frightened them into submission. Lord I,.ll.6n borough, it is said, still means to go forward, but with a small fragment of the army only, such as may be con sidered requisite to expedite the tranquillisation_ of, the country. The terms agreed ,upon are, of . course, as yet, scarcely known to the public. Their general tenour is said to be to the effect that the. Gwailor Government shall hereafter maintain a large con tingent force, and pay the whole costs already incurred on their behalf; and that an extensive piece. of territory, in denting inconveniently into the Company's dominions, shall be ceded in perpetuity to the British Government in security for the payment of the contingent. When it is - consideted, that in reality the Gwalior States lapsed to us 'as heirs of the King or. Delhi some eight months since, and that they only maintain a show of independence by our grace and favour, they seem to have been treated with much leniency and Con sideration."-Herald. „ , . In the House of Lords the Horze-Racing Bill and the Metropolitan Improvement Bill received the Royal assent. In answer to a question from Lord NORMANDY, the LORD CHANCELLOR said the law Lords were divided in opinion in the case relating to Presbyterian Mar riages, but when a decision was given he should move the re-appointment of the Committee. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE put three questions to the Earl of DEVON relative to the Irish Land Te- ' nure Commission. They were, whether the COMMis• Sioll. would affect leases already entered into; whe ther they had prepared any report as to the propor tion. area to the value of land; and whether the evidence taken before the Commission would be printed ? The Earl of DEVON said the whole of the cases in vestigated would be reported, but he could not answer the other questions. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Six. On a question put by Sir WILLIAId HEATHCbTE,^ Chairman of the Colchester and Ipswich Railway Committee, relative to the claim of certain parties to act as agents before Committees, those parties not being Parliamentary agents, a discussion arose, which was terminated by the opinion of the Spsmunt, N who said that Parliamentary agents were the / onli - persons admitted by the Standing Orders of the House to appear before Committees. The House acquiesced in this, decision. After the presentation of a number of petitions, Mr. WARD gave notice that, on an early day after Easter, he would move for a Committee of the whole House, to inquire into the present state of the tem poralities of the Irish Protestant Church. This announcement was received with cheers. Mr. WILLIAMS moved that no motion, if opposed, shall be brought on and discussed in the Huse after midnight. The CHANCELLOIX of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, and blamed the Honourable Member for Coventry and others for making long speeches, which led to the inconvenience complained of. Mr. BROTHERTON said he never made long speeches, and expressed a wish that the QUEEN would. imitate the example of her illustrious predecessor, ELIZA BETH, and admonish Members not to consume so much time in making long speeches. The House divided, when there were for the motion 16, and against it 146. No other business of importance came• before the House, which adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'Clock. The persecution of the Jews, we regret to state, still continues with unabated virulence throughout the Russian dominions, as also in those provinces which once formed portions of Turkey and Poland, but which are now in a great degree under the direct influence of the Czar. "Letters from Moldavia and Lithuania," says a Morning Contemporary, " give most harrowing accounts of the sufferings of the Jews in those countries. The Moldavian Government de sirous, why or wherefore we know not, of diminish ing the number of Jews resident in the State, has recently enacted that none shall be admitted without a regular passport, and that any one detected contravening this law shall be sent to the salt mines of Olma. In the town of Jassy a daily report is to be made to the police-officers of the number of Jews that arrive, and of each they are to require a carte de-sqour." When we read of these tyrannical acts o 1 legislation, we are carried bdck in fancy to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when the Jews were treated worse—if that be possible—than the black slaves in the Southern States of America; visited with fine—imprisonment—torture—death— according to the caprice of the . great and petty despots of Europe ; and scarcely recognised as forming a branch of the vast, comprehen sive family of humanity. From the.: above accounts it would seem that the -Moldavian and Lithuanian authorities—acting, no doubt, under Russian influ ence—look upon the Jews as a sort of.moral pesti lence, and require them to perform quarantine, and bring a sound bill of health with them, previou s to their being permitted to reside .in those•enlightened countries. We always knew that NICHOLAS was a tyrant —a systematic, remorseless tyrant, - utterly re gardless of the claims of humanity, when those claims interfered with any favourite project; but we little thought that he was a fool as well as a tyrant, without wit enough to see what was beneficial or other wise to his own interests. We could understand his policy much as we abhorred it, when. he sacrificed Poles by thousands to his hist of arbitrary, irresponsi ble power; tore the mother from the son, the wife from the husband, and heaped up, like another TA MERLAIq, but without his intellect, a pyramid of corpses on the highway as an awful monument of his Imperial, vengeance—we could understand, we re peat, this ruthless, straightforward policy, emanating, as it avowedly did, from the CZAR'S desperate deter mination. to strike terror to the heart of Poland; but we must confess we are wholly at a loss to Understand the motives by which he is in fluenced in his present persecution of the Jews, which seems to us the niost suicidal act of atro 41ty that ever yet was perpetrated, even by a Rus- Sian despot. As for the pretext that they are en gaged in smuggling, surely this is not sufficient to explain or justify the banishment of an entire people, many of whom are among the most enlight ened of the CZAR'S subjects, diffusing the arts of civili- nation by their wealth, and,fostering a taste for itj en joyments by their example ! There must be some petty, Corrupt, underhand agency,at work; and NICHOLAS has doubtless been led to believe, by certain crafty, interested counsellors, that the Jews have been actively dnga" ged in fomenting political disturbances in the king dom. Be the motives of his conduct, • hoWever, what they may, he hat shown the Most deplorable fatuity in expatriating his Jewish subjects, 'and the conse.: ciuences cannot fail, in the long - run, to' come home to him, and verify SUAKSPEARE'S remark, that " the great Gods are just, and of our vices make instruments tb. scourge ,us," Should, Poland ever again threaten ihstirrection—should another such conspiracy break Out among . ,,the Russian military as' that *hiCh nalised the, EMPEROR'S accession to the throne— should, in short, any event arise 'that may require a vast increase .in his_expenditure, from what quarter is the So'vereign of all the Russias to . derive the means of replenishing his exchequer ? Will the Jews, the great bankers for ages of-all the Courts of Enrope, hith ? • Certainly not. They will bear diligently in mind his. remorseless perse cution of their Russian brethren, and reject all his supplications for a : loan with contempt, :were he even•' to- offer an interest of cent. per cent.' for thQ, money. , Meantime, we trust that our brave and generous countrymen, always the advocates of the oppressed, will not fail to mark their sense of the atrocious conduct pursued by NicnoLate towards -tlie• Jews. We trust that they will forthwith hold public"meetingson the subject, • and al these meetings express their sentiments of disgusi and abhorrence in the strongest terms that the Eng lish language allows. A tyrant, even .though he be a Russian tyrant, and call himself NICHOLAS, mnst not be permitted to trample on the laws of justice and humanity with impunity.. We return .to the debate of Friday last, the 2c,i instant, on the Navy Estimates,. in order to direct attention more particularly tof some of the important points, calling for the early attention of the 'Adnii ralty authorities, to which our limits, on aformer sion, did not allow us to advert. The result of our long experience as journalists is a conviction that no means can be employed for the retnedy of abuses in any department .of the public service, so effective as the pressing them on the public at large, rathor than on any given branch of its executive service. We, therefore, make no • apology for repeating Captain RECIIELL ' s remark, that when there is som e difficulty in getting good seamen to volunteer, those boys who have already acquired some proficiency in gunnery, ought to be kepLin.. the service. They 'were, how ever, discharged at thoexpitation of their apprentice ship: Only 'those - Who were - as' much as 7 'stones (of 141 b.) weight were taken. - Now, thereltaybe - some force in the answer,'" that it would .not be fair _to retain the 'boys, after completing theirappienticeship, seeing thafnthers are always waiting to be admitted on ships' books • in their places." But, on 'the 'One. hand, the policy is obvious; of retaining theserVicei of thoroughly drilled and efficient boys, -after - .they' have grown - up, - as 'it were in this 'very professional discipline, to manhood, .and have attained a tharongh aequaintatice with - , the ships in Which- they have served; arid, on the other, the 'danger is immi nent; br 'discharging the boys just as y ou have made them sensible of their worth, utility, and handiness—of inducing them to enter into foreign service, in which no 'man can say how soon it might happen that their ". gunnery practice" would be directed against - our own fleet. The question of retaining them, 'it 'is true,' is a question of 'expense. But,that might be in a great measure - .obviated by some isttch arrangement as Sir CnAni..ES ' NAPIER sugg*ited. The Gallant Commodore at the same time thus described the imtnediate consequences of their discharge on completing their apprentice. term: When," said he, ". they came home and were dis charged, they were 4 hobbledehoys,' neither 'Men nor boyi—,-(A laugh)—were caught up by the crimps, taken to houses, and spent their time • in dancing with the girls, while, some fellow fiddled away.—(Laughter) That was the way in which their 'morality Was•tuiried,' and"he thdught that~tlM - Government, whatever might be the cost, should take Iniltnboard the flag-ships, instead of letting them shift for themselves." With regard to the complaints that masters in the Royal Navy were seldom allowed to attain the rank of lieutenant, although this was nominally open to them, the reply of Sir GEORGE COCKBURN does not appear to have been either conclusive or satisfactory. The professional and scientific skill, the theoretical and practical seamanship, the coolness, judgment, and other moral qualifications, as well as the technical ability requisite for the efficient discharge of their very responsible duties, would seem to give these officers an a priori claim to the advantages of promo tion as opportunities offered.. We are much - mistaken if the " masters" of the present day in her MAJESTY'S service, rate the point of honour so low as to find suf ficient compensation for their almost total exclusion from the rank in question, in Sir GEORGE'S apologetic defence of the Admiralty practice towards them, namely, " that, as it was, the master of a line of battle ship got greater pay than the first lieutenants, and other masters of different classes got the same pay as other lieutenants." How many a gallant BENBOW or intrepid BoscAwEN, even in the earlier period of his naval career, would have pitched into the sea a whole year's salary of a First Lord of the Admiralty himself, to be allowed but " to pluck bright honour" in the well-earned distinction of an epaulette, from the hand of official patronage ! Each of those brave worthies, if we. remember rightly, had been, in the toilsome course of his perilous career—" a• master." Good fellows ! fine officers ! brave seamen !—these masteri, it seems. But then, quoth Sir GEORGE COCK BURN, " they were persons who went through the coarser line of 'seamanship; and, though they were excellent seamen, they were :not" the same class of persons as lieutenants, who, it should be remembered, had to serve a considerable number of years before they got their• commissions." This is " ominous stuff" to be uttered by a British Admiral,. of Sir GEORGE'S distinguished bravery and conduct ; but he is of that ' new-fangled school—half civil, half mili tary—neither flesh nor fowl—that amphibious com pound of modern Admiralty Boards, the constitution of which is so distasteful to the gallant NAPIER. What would some of the higher, thorough-sailor class of Admirals of the old school, GELL or RODNEY, STRACHAN or NELSON, lIRVe said to this disparaging estimate of masters of the navy in general, and those of their own ships. in par ticular ! " Coarse line of seamanship,"L--we think we hear not JOHN " angry Spirit of the water shriek,",—but the savoury spirits of tar and picked oakuin venting their sighs of passionate indig nation, at this disdainful notice of those who, for merly, lived so much among them. But. Sir GEORG E is unwilling to drive the masters to despair. In the lottery of promotion there may be, it seems, some half a dozen chances for their whole body: " The masters were ;eligible to be made lieutenants when any gallant act or particular good service was per formed by them." We have long concurred in an opinion professed by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, "that the standing of the . petty officers ought to be - raised, so. that they might be more identified with the officers than with the men. If that were done, there never would be any mutiny, or if there were it would very soon be put down." For what we stated, in a former article on the sub ject of steam men-of-war, we venture to cite the Un impeachable and emphatic "authority of Captain Rous. This officer remarked—" It had been proposed to provide 200 steam-ships for our navy; but had they 200 officers wild were so well acquainted with steam ships as to 'be qualified to take the command of those vessels ?" It was the same officer who, in common with Sir CHARLES NAPIER, insisted on the palpable disadvantage, as well as imPropriety, of employing aged, to the exclusion of younger and more vigorous, officers in command. "He had told' the House for two years past, that if the Admiralty persisted in ap pointing to the command of ships Officers who had been a quarter of a century on shore, this state of things must continue." But perhaps.the most Striking feature in the whole debate was - `the protest against the further implicit adoption of all the plans of the present Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. SYMONDS. We offer no opinion on the merits or deficiencies of this gentleman—the Government naval architect ; hut the question of his success in, or inadequacy to, that responsible office, well deserves the most profound attention of Govern ment. It is a matter as to which not a fraction of personal prepobsessions or partialities should be allowed to -influence the judgment of the authorities. Yet the authorities were broadly accused of over weening prepossessions on behalf of his models, and partiality in favour of his opinions, by Captain. Dux- DAS, out of the House, Captains PECHELL and Rous and Commodore NAPIER. within it. Captain Rotis said; `j' He saw by the newspapers that a number of what were called very magnificent frigates were in Course of construction; but he believed that nearly all of .them, before they were put in commission, would be found to be worthless. He believed that many of theSe ships, some of them built by Sir W. Symorins--sbips upon which millions of money had been expended—would turn out to be' fit only for firewood." I It seems that for any officer to impute in his re- Ports to the Admiralty bad sailing, or other qualities, tb - craft that have been turned out by Sir W. Svmoans, is -a " damnable heresy." "But," said Captain Rous, " the officers were well 'aware that, if they reported unfavourably, there was at once an end to their hopes of promotion. • When the 18-gun brigs were converted into ships, the officers in command were required to report on their qualities. This was idnown to be an Admiralty whim, and all the officers reported favourably, except. Captain DUNDAS, a son of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, who said that his vessel had been a very fine brig, and had been made illtto a very bad ship. That officer, in consequence of expressing this opinion, was remonstrated with; pri vately and publicly, but still he maintained that his ()Pinion was correct." In relation to this subject, the complete failure of the Water-Witch (built at West Cowes by Mr. WHITE), purchased from her noble owner, and con verted from about the finest, fastest, and most beauti- ful two-masted yacht that ever sailed, into - a very bad three-Masted vessel of war, by the Government's ,dip-builder, was largely dwelt upon. Captain Rots ,did not hesitate to say, that no Government ship.: wright's ' reports were worthy of credit when they sere made of vessels not r built by themselves ; that all builders hated one another ; and those of our dock y'ards invariably disparaged the craft turned out o private yards. How this may be we know not; but the case of the " Water-Witch," which we saw our- selves when on the stocks, whilst building for the Earl of BELFAST, afterwards on various trips, prior to her alterations, and subsequently, in the ruined state 'described by Captains Rous and PEcnELL:did go far to show that a most searching inspection and reform are . needed in this department of our naval adminis tration. The matter is one which, if the allegations we have quoted be well grounded, admits not of delay in providing a present remedy for past errors, and attempting to guard against the future peril to our navy, which the practices complained of cannot but have incurred. We, some months ago, urged upon the consideration of the Government the propriety, not to say, the duty—of opening to public competition, the designs for the new buildings to• replace the old faqade and quadrangle. of the British Museum. With what signal success the latent genius of English art—un trammelled by the conventional intrigues, and favOuritisms of incorporated associations—may be appealed to, when a worthy object of national emu lation is proposed for competition—was singularly evinced in the - recent collection of histofical cartoon drawings. The decoration of the halls and chambers of the New 'louses of Parliament offered 'a fine scope to the talent of our native artists for design in the highest branch of pictorial composition. The result was most fortunate. It may. be considered to have called a new era of art into existence among us, and-will alwayi be remembered to the honour of those who so worthily - responded to the summons of the .Legislature. • If the British Museum appeals less forcibly to that enthusiasm which .is‘based on historical associations and reminiscences,.than the seat of our ancient Con stiutional Legislatme, it has claims at least as powerful. on the affection, the solicitude, and the respect of every British scholar and student; of the _lovers of national science and philosophy ; and above 111,- of - the admirers of Greek - Sculpture; with - all its infinite varieties of idealized beauty, in form, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, IVIAB,CII 8, IA/14. v . action, -an'd expression. The : s ritish Mu seum is the proud depository of some of the most sublime conceptions of that genius which has given to marble the all but immortal embodiment of heroic fable—the epic grandeur of its divine poetry. Surely the shrine, within which these pre cious and costly relics of an age of intellectual in spiration that has not yet been mated by its parallel, are congregated and preserved, should be itself an edifice in some degree of= kindred beauty or magnificence. But when it is considered that within the circuit of the same walls, which are thus destined to shield the honoured fragments that still attest the marvellous imagination and exquisite hand of a Lysirp,us• or a PREDIAS ; the glorious productions of English mind, in all its infinite development, whether in manuscript or in printed records; in every walk of hunian learning, in every department of science, philosophy, and poetry, every sentiment of a genuine nationality must be interested in the dig nity and character of the edifice which is to be their honoured domicile. We perceive with mortifica tion—and we participate in all the astonishment which our Contemporaries are daily giving utterance to, in this matter—that no such relations are likely to be observed between the inestimable contents of the building and the building itself. Exertions, quite unknown hitherto in the sleepy history of the repa rations and additions that have been made, from time to time, in and about Montague House,since it became the British Museum, have indeed been put forth of late. The staff of workmen and artificers, largely increased in numbers, seems to have been incessantly and actively occupied for some time past, as if the selected architect of the new works were anxious to anticipate—(we are almost tempted to say) —the expression ofany Parliamentary or public opi nion on the course of inviting public competition, to which we have alluded. So far as we have been able to collect from the aspects of the works in progress, or to judge from the design which we have seen, we cannot believe that in this instance the public will find, that they have to boast of a fabric above the average of the more recent productions of the same professor. As we predicted, some months ago, the new structure is likely to be Greek, enough in every feature—except adaptation or fitness, graceful combi nation, and elegance of detail. A small—subscription chilhouse front; sober to Quakerism ; plain to po verty ; simple to frigidity; inexpressive, meaningless, unenriched—these will probably be found the true features.of the design, whatever' public expectation may have naturally looked for in their stead. Will nobody in the Committee for superintending the building and adornment of Mr. BARRY'S " Parlia ment .Houses," make the necessary inquiries, from his place in the House of Commons, or elsewhere, to ascertain on whose responsibility the freehold, as it-were, of all designs' and works for the British Mu seum has not only been' given for so many years past, —but seems destined to be continued during his life time,—to one and the same architect ? And why , it is that, more particularly in relation, to the build ing now in course of erection, the designs for eleva tions, plans, interior arrangement, &c., &c., have not been opened to public competition ? Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been re ceived. The Gazette publishes two dispatches from General. RONCALI, announcing that on the 26th he would commence active operations,. against Aiicant, and after the. reduction of the place would march on Carthagena. Intelligence from that quarter, however, is not to be depended on, for in another account, at least a week previous,it was stated that RONCALI had opened his batteries_and was pouring in shot on the rebellious town. The Minister of Justice, at the re quest of the QUEEN, had left Madrid on the 27th of February for Valencia to receive the ex-Regent MARIA 'CHRISTINA. He was the bearer of an auto graph letter from the young QUEEN to her august mcither, and was accompanied by Messrs. FERNANDO ALVAREZ and DOMINGO MORENO, two officers of his Ministry,, and M. SALVADOR BERMUDEZ DE CASTRO, Secretary of the Council of. Ministers. On the 27th the Three per Cents. sold for 29i at 60 days; the Four per Cents. at 20 for cash, and 20i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 221 at 60 days. The Paris papers have again reverted to, the Ota 'wit° affair, in conbetincnco of oortoin articles in the London journals, but we find nothing new in their remarks, nor any account whatever of the sums sub scribed to .purchcse a sword for Admiral DUPETIT THOUALES. A Ministerial paper, the Globe, thus adverts to this foolish scheme for annoying the KING and his Ministers :—" The Opposition journals of yesterday contained the joke of a subscription being opened to offer a sword of honour to Admiral "Dtr- PETIT Tuovaus. We are perfectly edified with the patriotic _ su bscriptions of the repu bli c. It will be s with the word of honour, maximum 50c., as with the million of the Irish; and with M. DUPETIT TUOUARS as with O'CoNstEx.r., who declared that if the million had been sent, it would not have been accepted. 'M. DUPETIT TllGlrdies in fact, a man of infinitely too much sense and)too much tact, to let himself be taken in' Tor the - compromising nonsense of the Opposition. He will perceive that the nation is rather with 'the imposing majority 'of the Chamber, who have disap proved of his conduct, whilst 'they preserve' to hiln all their esteem, than with those singers of the Marseillaise,' who will come between two bacchana lian couplets, and bring their offerings to the .office of the National." According to some' of the papers, arrests , have lately taken place in - the garrison of Paris, chiefly in the 70th regiment of the line, but on what grounds we do not learn. " Yesterday," says-the National of Monday, " and the day before, - the' report has been circulated at Paris, of a military , conspiracy having b een discovered. The information carried about by the news-mongers is rather vague and contradictory, commissioned off i cers o f but that which appears beyond d'allbt, is that within a regiment quartered at Paris have been arrested. It a few days past several non is even said that sundry superior officers are coMpro.: misect-4- amon g others, a colonel and lieutenant colonel. In a day or two we shall know more - about this." The fourof the Legitimatist Deputies, namely, MM. de LARCY, 13EaRYEn, the Duke de VALMY, and M. BLIN DE BovEnoN, have been returned at Cette, Marseilles, Toulouse, ,and Doullens, by large majo rities, and no doubt remained that M. LAROCIIEJAC.• QUELIN would also be returned.

ROYAL SITEREIF:ZOOLO6WAL GARDENS.- These gardens, which have, so long been . one of the most pleasing sources of amusement to all persons in the metropolis, changed owners on the Ist of this month. Mr. Cross, whose highly estimable character raised these gardens to public favour, has resigned the pro prietorship to Mr. Tyler, who, from the very com mencement of :the gardens, has laboured to make them what they now are. All the animals, and some additional ones, w ill be exhibited as usual, whilst many new objects to attract public attention will be added. There will be every care taken to cater for the public amusement, and a grand spectacle is already in preparation, which will eclipse even the glories of Vesuvius and Hecla, and put the Temples of Elora in the shade. We are informed that there is not a par ticle of truth in the paragraph which appeared in a portion of the public papers of yesterday, and which emanated from sheer envy, acid from parties who had laboured to prevent Mr. Tyler from reaping the re sult of his long and arduous labours in the service of the public. We wish him that success which he de serves, and must achieve. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TUESDAY.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vat)Ur Clotzttua. " Who runs may read." A. telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles reached Paris on Monday announcing that the Anglo-Indian army had en tered Gwalior after two battles in which there, had been con sidefable loss on both sides. • On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Minister of Public Works, the Austrian and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the Prussian and Danish Ministers, Vice-Admiral Dupotet, Generals Count Schramm, Aupick,- and Grouchy; the Bishop of Beauvais, the Marquis de Grille, and a large number of other persons of rank. Prince d'OttingenWallerstein, Grand Master of the Crown, and Counsellor of State in Bavaria, has arrived hi Paris on an extraordinary mission from his Sovereign. The .National and Gazette de France announce that the subscription for presenting a sword of honour to Admiral Dupetit Thouars is opened at their offices, and at those " of all the independent journals." The maximum of each sub scription is limited to 50 centimes (25.). The Ministry, says the Courrier Francais, filled with con fidence by its 233 votes upon the last ballot, and wishing to take advantage of the favourable disposition of the Chamber, will, it is said, apply this week for a grant of 1,000,000 f. for secret service money. The Cabinet is completely reassured, and its leaders guarantee it a continued existence for several years. It cannot doubt of an increasing majority on all questions, after havi ng suc h an i nexp li ca bl e and unexpected majority on a question, in which the honour of our flaeand the dignity of the nation was involved. " It is reported," says the same journal, " that the Govern ment is about to send out M. Agenor de Gasparin as the King's Commissioner to Queen Pomare of Tahiti." The Presse says, " The Directors of the Bank of France are engaged in considering the expediency of issuing notes of. 250 f. The Bill for authorising this step will certainly be fa vourably received. Notes to this small amount are already issued from the branch banks, and their utility in the _rand metropolis of business is incontestible. It is diffic e fore to imagine any grounds for oppositi on t o gi A;jliis accommedation to Paris, where, beyond all othig cps, it must be truly serviceable." u ,r The Phare of Bayonne, of Friday attributes Ste:lion-arrival there, on that day, of the mail from Madrid,'AVAhe state of the roads in the Pyrennees, which were ini,pUy. places blocked up by snow. • A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 20th ult., in the Berlin Gazette, contains the following :—" The chief of the frontier district near Kjachta, has reported that at Macmad schin, a few wersts distant from Kjachta, the local Chinese authorities discovered two Chinese who were smoking opium, which they said had been supplied by Russians. The Chinese chiefs immediately, opened negotiations with the Russian authorities on the frontier, and the Emperor of Russia having been informed of the fact, has ordered that the Ukase published in 1841 against the sale of opium to the Chinese shall be serupulously enforced, and that all persons who may violate it shall be tried by a Court-martial." LAW AND At the Central Criminal Court, Henry Jones and William Christie, convicted of Custom-house robberies, were sentenced to be imprisoned in Newgate for twelve months, and kept to hard labour. In passing sentence, Mr. Justice Patteson, af ter consulting with Mr. Justice Williams, said, that there did not appear to be any material difference in their cases. From the confession of Jones, it appeared that he had been in duced by Christie, to whom he was indebted, to join him in perpetrating these frauds ; but still it must be recollected that he occupied a place of trust, and it was necessary that an example should be held out to all such as were similarly situ ated. And what an example ! Here, men well paid for doing their duty, rob the public, and receive twelve months imprisonment, while a poor starving man is banished for seven years for stealing food to satisfy his wants. About a dozen girls were brought up at the Mansion House, charged with having broken the windows of the union workhouse, and also the windows of the Mansion House. They said their object was to get admission into Bridewell. Sir Peter Laurie refued to send them to Bridewell, but or dered a couple of officers to take them to Peckham workhouse. It is now the constant practice of the refractory of both sexes to break the windows of the Mansion House. At Bow-street two men, named John Harrison and Daniel M'Carthy, were brought before Mr. Twyford, charged, under the provisions of Malicious Damage Act, with cutting and destroying a number of trees on York-terrace-buildings, Adelphi. Mr. Twyford said, as proceedings were pending in another Court (the Queen's Bench) respecting the rights of parties to the Terrace, he should not be justified in giving any opinion upon the subject ; and lie should, therefore, order the defendants to be discharged, as they might have had a fair and reasonable supposition that they were not acting. illegally. Ellen Herbert, a woman about sixty.years of age, andcom, pletely deaf, residing at West-end, Hampstead, was charged at Marylebone with attempting to drown herself. Her hus band had been sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for stealing, Prisoner had no means of supporting her family, and under those circumstances resolved on self-destruction. The police were directed to make the case known to the officers of Hampstead parish. At Queen-square, Mr. John Grover, of Belgrave-street, Belgrave-square, surveyor, who has been in custody some days; charged with having defrauded Mr. J. Slater, or i 42, Lower Belgrave-place, of a large sum of money, was again brought up. Several other charges of a like nature were pressed upon the attention of the Magistrate. Mr. Burrell said he should not entertain any new charges • he was un willing to prejudice the other case, i n w hi c h he bad consi dered it his duty to send the prisoner before ajury. He con sented to take bail in 2001. for the prisoner's appearance at the Central Criminal Court, but there being no sureties in at tendance he was locked up. Mr. Norton, the Lambeth-street Magistrate, acknowledged the receipt of a note from Mrs. A. Waddington, of Ely, en closing a draft upon a London banker for the sum of twenty guineas, to be• distributed from the office poor-box. Mrs. Waddington had frequently been the kind benefactress of the distressed poor through this Court, and Mr. Norton acknow ledged one handsome donation with much gratitude. At the Thames Police-court, William Jackson, a notorious thief, was charged with breaking into the brig Rapid, lying at llanover-hole tier, Rotherhithe, and stealing the wearing apparel of two seamen. Some of the stolen property was found in the prisoner's possession. He was committed for trial. COURT—FASIIIONABLE. The Duchess of plouCester's health continues to improve, and when the weather is sufficiently fine her Royal Highness is able to take carriage airings. The Duke of Cambridge's dinner, at Cambridge House, on Wednesday next; will be ;given, to the Duke of Wellington, the Arelibishop:•-of Yorke the Earl of Cawdor, and the Direc tors of the ancient.• Coneerts," being the 68th season.

' MISCELLANEOUS. Within.tbe last few days a numerously signed requisition from the inhabitant rate-payers of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, has been presented to Alderman Gibbs, soliciting him, as churchwarden;; to take the sense of the parishioners respect= ing the adopfiorr of the 'Act for the better regulation of ves trie:2“o7tod-liflEe lecotid:Via i r of - the reign of King Wil liam IV:, adtteomnionly - ,k.town as Hobhouse's Act, whereby the interest of the rate-Oyers would: be more largely repre sented in the parish vestry than they are at present in the select one.! _ The-Alderman has complied with the requisi tion, and there is no doubt that there will be a large majority. of votes in favour of the alteration, and that it will come into effect. at Easter. At the annual ineeting,of students held yesterday, says the Aberdeen •Herold of Saturday, for , the election of the Lord Rector of Marischal College and University, the votes were equallY divided between the Marquis of Breadalbane and the Marquis of Bute. The reSult is, there can be no Rector for this year.- - . . . . . The Archbishop of York; the Earl of Ripon, Lord Stanley, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and the Earl of Cardigan, are amongst the Stewards for the approaching dinner of the City of London:General Pension Society, at which the Marquis of Clanricarde presides, on the ISt .May. f MARKET NEW.L(THIS DAY.) - • - • CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Although We had only a moderate supply of English Wheat, the demand for it was in a sluggish state, and Monday's quo tations were barely supported. Foreign Wheat, free of duty, sold steadily, but in bonded grain exceedingly little was doing. The Barley trade was very inactive, and prices were barely supported. Malt, Oats, and all other Grain moved off heavily, at late rate's. ARRIVALS iitta • Wheat. Eng1i5h.,........ 1,950 qrs, Irish Barley. 1 Oats. Tour 800 qrs.

The men were matched fur a stake of 504 and a good deal of betting took place, Cullen being the favourite. A steamer, provided for the occasion, started from Hungerford pier, with the combatants and 'a . strong muster of the pugilistic fancy. On arriving at the appointed locality the men prepared for action, and, after shaking hands together in the usual way, they immediately commenced with great severity, when Rowe soon gave evidence of his being the best " general." How ever, the men continued the contest with great courage and science for fifty-seven minutes, when Rowe was declared the winner amidst the cheering'of his friends. MAPLE WOOD.—It having been the practice in taking the dimensions' of maple-wood, for the purpose of charging the duty thereon, to admeasure the same singly, notwithstanding the planks" or slabs may be under twenty one feet' in length, on account of the unusually large inter stices which would be 'occasioned by the irregular fonns of the plank, provided the same were piled for affineasurement in bulk, under the provisions of the 29th section of the Act sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 47; and the Board of Custems being of opinion that maple-wood, in common with all*). woods chargad with duty by measurement, should, 1. ) 4 4 1,',., ference to the Act above adverted 'to, be measured, 18 *in L, have ordered that the proper officers do govern themse VeS accordingly. _ma „ EFFECTS OP L ARKING .—A—IeW _. days ago, Of He'd'• ford, a party of men were amusing themselves by destroying a colony of rats in some old premises. Some of the party had guns to make more sure of their game, and one of them, in order to play ajoke upon the rest, went inside the building, and pushed a dead rat through a hole. This was no sooner done than the gums were fired, under the impression that it was a live rat making its escape,. and part of the charges passed through the hole, and shattered the man's hand off! A sad verification of the proverb that the " biter is sometimes bitten."—Cambridge Chronicle. THE Quj . TAMS.--In Goodbourn v. Marley, 2 Str. 1159, and Blaxton v. Pye, 9 Wils. 309, it was held that laying abOve 101. on a' horse race (though for a legal plate) is an illegal bet, within the statute of •Anne, on the ground that the •statute ought to be extended to all sports as well as games, in order to prevent excessive betting ; and in Lynall v.

It was a d ecr i e baitfl it in the absence of the defendant, and on the resP°, us i o lic„ . l , the plaintiff; and the question was whether it sa° t•ti'" urge d a yeti 1 n 3 ,, and what manner. Four objections were n o, , ark against the decree. First, that the deeds werrollob ivo voce in Court, which was an incorrect mode ofP'r or in this case, because the parties ought to have had 0 0 0 20 tunity of examining the witness. Another ohjecti ' l t 01 that the securities to Mr. Brooks were given for lii! d , t , future costs, and that as to future costs they were titir ,,blir lt , i third objection was that certain costs the plaintiff Was' Ice'' pay in the cause, to the executors of Jones and ?th ers ' l d tbs' . gharged in the decree against Humphrey Creswiai, B : iri d tli , e e the decree in that respect was therefore i n correct. o rtg'sk fourth objection was, that at the time when these i i.

Now, as to the firs t at ib e ' e upon the deeds, his Lordship was clearly of opinion t to ti j s , could be proved viva voce at the hearing. ,M, Oll t h security for costs, his Lordship was of o Pi n " - foil security could not be taken by a' solicitor .. 111,1o 0 A costs. That question had been decided -by Lord poi e " Jones v. Tipp," and in several other cases before r ofri, Plumer, Lord Gifford, and the present Lord Chancel of land. The decree therefore to that extent must be i ll s t i o t The third objection was this : Booth the plaintiff, l e nefit o for a foreclosure, was desirous of obtaining th e „sad the proceedings in the case of " Jones and Creswielt,soit plir . , that purpose he made all the persons parties to tha we verd;,i ties to the one he had instituted.

In the opinion of I ds , t ili di , c ot it was not necessary for Mr. Booth to make the otii e br a ,„ duals parties to the suit, that he had improperly ee l 'P t them before the Court, and therefore, that he 1, 1 04 titled to have the costs of doing so over again from •'-, be ts',.o t Creswick. In that respect therefore the decree ° l l i 0 t h A e " fled. The fourth objection was, that at the thne w es , e tis e o securities were assigned to Mr. Booth by the aSsig ae lie s 0' 45 the bankruptcy of Brooks, certain personal se r c e t t i ere ti lt handed over; it did not appear w h a t they. weT e, stated that they were taken up by A l r• iiit ei , v c., It did not appear that Humph re y C resw ick had any It whatever in those personal secu r iti es .
