The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—Some arc in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies, so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to a ff ord the benefit to his family at death, and annuafdivision of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums.

JOHN WILKIE, Caulnet and Chair Manufacturer, 20, Nassau street, Middlesex Hospital. THE TEA MARKET, No. 8, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON SIDNEY and HALL, Proprietors. The New Year opens with more cheering prospects for the - Tea Consumer, than for many precious seasons. War, rapine, and injus tice have given place to peace and friendship. The glories of the Celestial Empire are no longer veiled in mystery to the Western Hemisphere. An extended field is opened to the energies of the British merchant—we trust for successful enterprise. Ages yet to fellow will admire the firmness which has successfully overcome the rooted preju dices of thousands of years; and the ingenious millions who populate the vast territories of China, will hail the event that opens to-their industry the commercial freedom of the civilised world. One of the many advantages of peace over war to the community is best shown by reference to the comparative value of Tea in 1840 and 1844: — Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in February 1840 • ... 2s. 9d. to 3s. and 3s. 4d. per lb. Value of common Congou (exclusive of duty) in February 1844 I Id. to Is. and Is. -2d. per lb. Making a difference of two hundred per cent., or thrice the value of Tea, in the time of war over the present rates. We recommend fa milies to pay for a Common Breakfast Tea, 3s. 4d. per lb. ; for a strong full-bodied Congeu, 3s.

This undertaking is intended to form-a connecting line of railway communication between the five great lines of railway at present radiating from the metropolis through the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, viz.—the Birmingham, the Great Western, the South Western the Brighton, and the Dover lines, commencing at or near the Har row station on the Birmingham line, crossing the Great Western at or ncar Southall, the South Western at or near Kingston, and tenni natifr, at or near the Merstham station, on the Brighton and Dover lines, thereby completing a direct and rapid means of communication between the West, North-West, and Midland counties, and the Southern and South-Eastern parts of the kingdom. Mr. 'fare has reported that on a very moderate estimate a revenue of at least 52,0001. a year is to be relied upon on the first opening of the line, and that a vast increase may confidently be expected at an early period from sources not yet developed.

(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN and a Special Jury.) CHRISTMAS V. TUBBS. This was an action brought by Mr. Christmas, a hatter and fur manufacturer, residing in Burlington-arcade, against Mr. Tubbs, a Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Middlesex, to recover the sum of 6L 1 Is. 6d. for goods supplied to that gentleman's wife. The goods supplied were admitted to be of a proper and necessary character for a lady, and the prices charged for them were not contested. The point in dispute was the liability of the husband to pay, he and his wife having been separated, by mutual consent, for many years. The parties, it appeared, were married in 18'22, at which time a sum of 5001. per annum was settled on the lady by her father. In 1829, by mutual consent, they agreed to live separately, Mrs. Tubbs, of course, being in the exclusive enjoyment of her 5001. a year, which, at a subsequent period, was in creased to 6001. a year, by a bequest accruing under the will of a deceased relative. Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs had one child, a son, who lived sometimes with one, and some times with the other, but in the earlier portion of his life more frequently with the mother. All three, Mr. Tubbs, . Mrs. Tubbs, and Master Tubbs, dealt with Mr. Christmas, and their several bills were regularly , paid. In the be ginning of the year 1840, Mr. Christmas sent in his previous year's bill to Mrs. Tubbs, and when he called for payment, found to his astonishment, not only that Mrs. Tubbs was dead, but also that for years she had been living separately from her husband. This was the very first intimation the plaintiff had of this fact. He then applied to Mr. Tubbs for the payment of his wife's bill, being only 6/. 1 ls. 6d. for the entire year 1839, and was referred by that gentleman to another party who would_ probably pay him. He waited on the other party, who, however„ declined to do so, referring him back to Mr. Tubbs, who not only, as he said, was legally liable, but was also morally so, being in the receipt and actual possession of 5781., the dividends accruing to his wife. from the period of her decease, in addition to a very handsome income of his own. Mr. Christmas then applied by letter to Mr. Tubbs (the letter being produced in Court) to pay his debts at once, expressing his surprise that, under all the circumstances above detailed, he should for one moment have hesitated to do so. This letter the plaintiff sent to the defendant by his own son ; who was now produced in Court, and who distinctly swore that, in answer to it, Mr. Tubbs sent this verbal message by him to his father—" Tell your father I will call and pay him." This was the strong point in the case, it being contended by Mr. Erie, for the plaintiff, . . that even were the defendant discharged &in his liability; by reason of a separation and of ample means on the part of his wife to maintain herself in ade quate respectability, yet, that the promise to pay, now sworn to, was, according to decisions giv'en by Lords Ellen borough and Tenterden, amply sufficient to warrant the jury in finding for his client. Mr.Vhately, on the other hand, questioned this promise very much, and strongly contended that after so many years of separation, and such ample means at the command of the wife, it would be impossible for the jury to give a verdict for the plaintiff, which would have the effect of encouraging trial on trial of this description. The JUDGE having summed up, the jury turned round to consider their verdict, but not being able to agree, retired from the Court to consult. After an absence of nearly an hour and a half, they returned into Court, and gave their verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Charlotte Collins, very fashionably-dressed, and of lady like appearance, was brought up in custody of Inspector Dudley, of the E division, charged on suspicion of entering the shop of Mr4William Chicken Jay, of 247 and 249, Regent street, silk mercer, with intent to commit felony. The Court was thronged with tradesmen who had charges to prefer against her. Mr. Jay stated that between six and seven o'clock last evening the prisoner entered his shop and made a Selection of goods to the amount of 28Z., and directed they should be sent to a fictitious address in. Bond-street. While looking over the goods, however, she was identified as being the party who some months previously ordered goods in a similar manner to be sent to an address, which proved to be false, and on that occasion it was discovered, that while selecting the goods she contrived to steal a piece of valuable silk. Her ordering the goods was a mere ruse to afford her the oppor tunity of stealing. ' Mr. Wm. Poppy, of No. 285, High Holborn, silk mercer, &c., stated, that about five months since, the prisoner paid him a visit, and ordered goods to the amount of 121., to be sent with the change of a 201. note, to Miss Parker, at No. 21, Charing-cross. Of course, no such person could be found there. Immediately after she had left the shop a valuable shawl, which had been shown her, was missing. Mr. Baker, of Ludgate-hill, silk mercer, was visited by the prisoner in a similar manner, and lost a piece of silk. Inspector Dudley said, that on searching the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 4, Upper Rosamond-street, Clerkenwell, 21 duplicates were found, which related, no doubt, to the pro perty stolen. She had been carrying on this system of de predation to a very great extent for upwards of twelve months past. She was ordered to be detained in the custody of the In spector until the property at the pawnbrokers should be examined. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) DESPERATE AssAuLT.--John Kale and Mary Beasley (his sister), were charged with violently assaulting John Beasley, under the following circumstances :--- The prosecutor (who is the husband of the female prisoner) stated that, from the intemperate and irregular conduct of his wife, he had been frequently obliged to leave her. At eleven o'clock last night, on his return to his mother's house, where he was in the habit of staying, Kale rushed into the room, and upsetting the table at which he was eating his supper, struck him a violentblow across hishead with a shovel, which lie had taken from the fire-place on his entrance. • He then knocked him down and stamped on his chest, and would no doubt have murdered him, had not his cries of " Murder ". brought several persons to his aid, who secured the prisoner. The female prisoner, it appeared, assisted in the assault. The Worthy MAGISTRATE said that it was his duty to make an example of those who resorted to the un-English practice of assaulting others with such dangerous weapons. He should, therefore, fine the male prisoner W., or six weeks' im prisonment, and the female prisoner 305., or three weeks' im prisonment. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) George Elmer, a policeman, belonging to the Brighton Railway, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a gold seal and ring, the property of a gentleman named Fisher. It appeared that on the preceding evening, the com plainant drove up to the terminus of the above railway in a cab, and in his hurry to get out he left a gold seal and a ring on the seat. The prisoner, whose duty it was to attend to the regulation of the different vehicles, was observed to take the articles out of the cab and afterwards conceal them. He, however, denied the accusation, but when the place where he had been previously seen to go after leaving the cab was searched, the seal andring were found hidden under some earth. Inspector Baker, of the above railway, gave the prisoner an unexceptionable character up to the present offence. Mr. Corrucaumt said that the offence was a most serious one, and that the prisoner, instead: of protecting the property of passengers, had in this instance plundered one. He (the Magistrate) certainly should send the case for trial, but would • remand the accused until the complainant came up from Brighton. Wm. Harclham was charged with wounding George Sey mour, who was very ill from loss of blood. The complainant went into the Crown public-house, West minster-road, on Thursday night, and having had some al tercation with the prisoner, the latter struck him under the chin with some weapon, and inflicted a serious wound. The complainant had been in the hospital since, and the Magis trate, seeing the case was of such a• serious character, sent for the surgeon, with a view of having his evidence reduced to writing. CENTRAL CRI %lINAL . COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and Mr, Justice COLERIDGE.) Upon the Learned Judges taking their seats yesterday, Mr. Francis, one of the jurors, who sat in this Court on Saturday, in a case of a felonious assault againet an Italian, named Maribello, in conjunction with six foreign jurors, when a verdict of guilty was returned, begged permission to make a few observations to the Court, in reference to a remark made by Mr. Wilkins, the counsel for the prisoner on that occasion. • Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having intimated that the Court would hear what he had to say. Mr.; Francis went on to state, that upon the trial in question, the jury, after a very careful consideration of all the facts of the case, felt themselves compelled to re - turn a verdict of guilty ; and upon their doing so, and while the foreign jurors were in the act of leaving the box, Mr. Wilkins said to a person near him, loud enough for all the jury to hear, "For God's sake let them go, they are a set of hard-hearted wretches." Since then Mr. Wilkins had objected to him as a juror in another case in. which he was concerned, and he felt it to be his duty to state to the Court what had taken place, because he considered a most unjust and improper attack had been.- made upon the jury, who were only desirous 'to perform their duty ; but if they were to be subjected to such attacks as this from counsel, he considered the nide pendence of juries would, to a great extent, be destroyed, or, at all events, materially endangered. I Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that the observation al luded to was not made loud enough for the Court to hear, for, if it had, it would most certainly have been taken notice of as a very improper proceeding. He did not believe that Mr. Wilkins was actuated by any desire to offend the jury, and he was satisfied, from his know ledge of him, that if he were then present, he would be the first man to disclaim such an oh;ect. Counsel in the excitement of the moment, and actuated by a feeling for their clients, might make a harsh observation, which they would probably afterwards regret ; and it would be well that jurors should not pay attention to what was said, under such circumstances,. to third parties. As to the opinion expressed by Mr. Francis that such pro ceedings might affect the independence of juries, he did not see how it could possibly have that effect. Mr. 'Frawis said, that having made thel fact known to the Court, he had now only to make an apology to the Learned Judges for intruding upon their attention. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said he had no occasion to apologise. He was perfectly justified in doing so, as there could be no doubt that the observation in question must have been very offensive to the jury. The conversation then dropped, and Mr. Francis re tired. _ _ Henry 11 ewman was indicted for forging an acceptance to a bill of exchange for 20/., with intent to defraud. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Charlotte Scott was indicted for forging a receipt, with intent to defraud Nicholas, Baron Bestey, and others, the trustees of the St. Martin's Saving's Bank. Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. This case was similar to the one disposrd of on Friday. A sum of 60/. had been paid in the bank by an old Wonian named Anne I. and after her death the prisoner produced an order fox: the payment of the amount, but in, consequence _of it , appvrtring that the depositor could not write, some suspicion I%as excited, and an inquiry took place. It was then ascertained that the prisoner had signed the order, and she said that the deceased had authorised her to do so. It also turned out that the deceased had been buried as a pauper, and that she• had amassed the money by means of begging letters and other impositions during her lifetime. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. TILE QUEEN V. 110 LT. The- defendant in this case is Thomas Holt, the pro prietcir and publisher of the Age newspaper, who had been indicted for a libel upon the character of Lord W. Paget. The case had been removed out of this Court by a writ of certiorari, and brought back again by a procedendo. The defendant, at present a prisoner in the Queen's Prison, was brought up in custody to plead. The Clerk addressed him, and said, " Thomas Holt, you are indicted for a libel and misdemeanor ; do you plead guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant pleaded not guilty. After a short conversation between Mr. Doane and the Court, the prisoner was removed ; and it was under stood that the case would be tried this day.

" Who runs may read." POILEXGIV. On Saturday evening the King and Queen of the French received the British Ambassador, Lady Cowley, and Miss Wellesley, the Turkish and Neapolitan Ambassadors, Nafi Effendi, the Duchess de Trevise, Countess de Barcellos, Count and Countess de Tracey, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Lady Elizabeth Peel, Viscountess de Beuret, and other persons of rank. The Duke de Montpensier left Paris on Monday at eight o'clock for Africa. His Royal Highness goes to join the ex- Dedition preparing at Constantina, under the direction of the uke'd'Aumale, Commander-in-Chief of the proviiice. The Patrie mentions a rumour that MM. de. Lamartine and Lherbette intend to submitt to the Chamber of Deputies a proposition declaring that the Government shall in no case, and without a law, arm the forts near Paris, or place artillery or engineer corps in them ; and, moreover, that there shall be no materiel of siege kept within a distance of at least sixty leagues of the capital. The editor of the France is to take his trial' before the Court of Assizes on the 21st inst., on an indictment founded on•political articles published in that journal on the 10th, 12th, and 29th of December last. M. Nadau-des Islets, member of the Colonial Council at Guadaloupe, died last week at Paris. In the dreadful earth quake he lost his wife, seven children, and a sister. A son, only three years old, is the sole surviving member of this unfortunate family. The great quani r ity of snow which has fallen lately in Upper 13avaria and the Tyrol has greatly interrupted the communi cations in those parts, and the couriers have been considera bly retarded. Some thousaads of labourers are employed in clearing the roads. The ordinary depth of the snow on the Inspruck road is six feet, but in many places it is from 15 to 30 feet. The last accounts from Spain announce that at Valencia, Seville, Saragossa, Grenada, and Malaga, the inhabitants are ready to make their pronunciamicntos. We learn from Berlin, Feb. 5, that the increase of pauperism in that city has excited the profound attention of the itutho rifles, and that measures are to be adopted for the diminution of this' evil. - . The marriage of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mikhai lowna with the reigning Duke Adolphe of Nassau was cele brated on the 31st ult., in the Imperial Palace, at St. Peters burgh LAW AND POLICE. In the case of Muntz, M.P., v. Foster and others, relative to a patent, which was tried in the Common Pleas, the jury gave a verdict for the'plaintiff. In the new Central Criminal Court Thomas Seargent, aged 36, was indicted for embezzling and stealing various sums of money to a considerable amount, the property of Messrs. Thomas Tucker Modsell, Smith, and Co., his employers. There were five indictments against the prisoner, on the first of which he was acquitted, and convicted on the second. In answer to a question from the judge, one of the prosecutors said, that for some years they had lost from 1001. to WO/. a year. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for seven years. It appeared that between 700/. and 800/. passed through his Ilan& in the course of a month. r At Bow-sthet, Mr. Luke Winton, landlord of the Crooked Billet, corner of Wych-street, Strand, waS summoned before Mr. Jardine, charged with permitting persons of disorderly andbad character knowingly to assemble in hishouse, against the provisions of the Licensed Victuallers' Act, 9th Geo. IV. An inspector named Logan gave evidence against the defen dant, but the Magistrate dismissed the charge on the ground that there was no proof that the character of the parties was known to the defendant or his waiter. The house from all accounts was most respectably conducted. At the Greenwich Police Court, John Roberts, master of the schooner Waterford, of Weymouth, appeared to an in formation, at the instance of Richard Gowland, master of her Majesty's Revenue cutter Vigilant, charged with having on board two boxes of foreign cigars, and ten packages of manufactured tobacco, the duties upon which had not been paid. On the evidence of the master of the Revenue cutter Mr. Jeremy convicted the prisoner under the 4th of Geo. IV., sec. 48, by which he had incurred: no penalty, but imprisonment in the county gaol for six months. A young man, of respectable appearance, named George Wheldon, was charged at Worship-street, before Mr. Broughton, with having attempted to defraud the Eastern Counties Railway Company of seven shillings, being the amount of fare for travelling in a first-class carriage from Bishop Stortford to London: After an inspector on the rail way had given evidence in support of the charge, the de fendant said he had only come from Edmonton with a friend, and they paid one shilling each, and on leavingthe station he gave the ticket to an officer. He was arrested, however, conveyed like a felon to the station-house, immured in a damp cell until nearly three o'clock in the morning, when some of his friends arrived and gave security for his-appear ance. Mr. Broughton called on the inspector to show the authority under which he had acted. lie could show none, and then went and consulted his superiors, who were in the same predicament, and the defendant was instantly dis charged. COIISLT---PELSHIONJUBLE.. Lady Brougham has a soirée this evening at the residence of the Noble and Learned Lord in Grafton-street. Invita- tions for about 150 have gone out. Sir Robert Peel's dinner party on Saturday next is to be a very numerous circle of the Ministerial Members of the house of Commons. The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commobs has appointed the 9th, 16th, and 23d of the ensuing month for his Parliamentary levees. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, and Lady Alexandrina Vane, who has recovered from the effects of her recent severe illness ..are expected at Holderness H ouse , from the French capital, soon after the Easter recess The Dowager Countess of Leicester and Mr. Ellice, M.P., are expected at the Right Hon. Gentleman's mansion, in Ar lington-street, early in April, from Italy, for the season. Earl and Countess Craven propose to prolong their resi dence at Coombe Abbey till the, close of the hunting season. There was another meet of the Atherstone hounds, at the Abbey; on Saturday. Mr. Watts Russell gave an elegant dejeuner at the Claren don Hotel, on Monday, on the occasion of the marriage of Miss Watts Russell to the Hon. Captain Denman, R.N., to Lord and Lady Denman and the Hon. Misses Denman, the Dowager Lady Arundel, and a family circle. The accounts received from Richmond yesterday, of the health of Viscount Sidmouth, represent that venerable noble man to be going on as favourably as his medical attendants could expect. MISCELLANEOUS. It was generally believed ,in Dublin, on Monday, that Mr. O'Connell, with his two sons, the Members for Kilkenny and Tralee, was about to start for London, in order to attend the debate on Lord John Russell's motion on the state of Ireland. Dr. Gray, one of the traversers, has resigned his seat in the Repeal Association. Among the multitude of advertisements of sales which at this season of the year solicit the public notice, we regret to see announced that of the library of Dlr. Black, late editor of the Morning Chronicle. On Saturday about 40,000 mackerel were landed on the beach at Brighton, and sold at 16s. per 100. A new opera, entitled Riguiqui, was last week produced at Hanover. The plot related to the period of the French Revo lution of 1830, and contained passages and allusions in rather free terms concerning the ancient regime, as well as reflections on the French Nobility in general. The King, who was pre sent, left immediately at the conclusion of the first scene, and signified his displeasure at the production of the work. WILL OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD.—The Judicial Committee of the Queen's Privy Council sat this morning to hear anappeal respecting the will of the late Marquis of Hertford, being an appeal by the Right Hor. J. Croker against a decision of the Prerogative Court, affecting a codicil for 100,000 dollars left to the Right Hon. Gentleman. Lords Brougham, Denman, Abinger, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and other Judges, were present. The Navy Estimates for the years 1844-45, laid upon the table of the [louse on the Bth instant, have jit3t been printed.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON.—A good many years since a breast-wall or quay was built at Ardentallan, in Argyllshire, for shipping stones from a quarry at which much work has been done. When Mr. David Smith, builder, at Oban, was erecting the beacon of Skervuil, in Jura Sound, for the Northern Lights' Board, he fitted the courses of blocks for that work to their places on the quay, and has occasionally had upwards of 200 tons of stones upon it at a time, without accident. The quarry has lately been worked for the repairs of the Caledonian Canal, and on the 23d ult. there were between 170 and 180 tons of dressed stones lying upon the quay ready for shipment, when, to the astonishment of the quarriers, the crane upon the quay was observed to move and shake without any visible cause, and some openings ap peared at the surface of the quay, which were rapidly widening ; the men on the instant cried out fur the foreman, who rushed to the spot, and saw the quay, with its crane and the cairn of blocks upon it, moving outwards from the shore, and sinking in the deep water; and in less than two hours the whole had proceeded seaward about 50 yards, and settled with a depth of 11 feet water over them. The whole mass is now so completely absorbed in mud and clay, that although the height of the quarry and materials could not be less than 20 feet, it has not lessened the depth of water at the entrance of the place.— Scotsman. STATE OF THE STREETS.—Yesterday the Court of Sewers, Guildhall, met at the usual hour for the transaction of business, Mr. Alderman Gibbs in the chair. At the last meeting of the Commissioners the Court directed smnmonses to be issued to Mr. Gore for having neglected to have cleansed about 200 streets within the City of London, by which he had incurred penalties varying from 20s. to 40s. for each neglect. The inspectors, Messrs. Bowler, Poynter, and Mortimer, were called in, and also Mr. Gore. The latter, however, was re presented by his foreman. Mr. Dowse, the chief clerk, then read the reports, from which it appears that Mr. Bowler's complaints for neglect amounted to sixteen, Mr. Mortimer's to thirty, and Mr. Paynter's to sixty-seven ; in addition to these they each had second summonses for a number of the streets. The foreman, in reply to the various summonses, said that he had been but: a few days in the contractor's em ploy ; his predecessor, whose duty it was to see that the streets were kept cleansed, had, without notice, left Mr. Gore. The neglect arose from that person not doing his duty, for Mr. Gore had authorised him to put on a sufficient number of men to clean every part of the city ; and as the same powers were given to him (the foreman), he could assure the Commissioners that neither they (the inspectors), nor the ; 'public, should in future have to complain. Mr. Williams observed, that looking at the conduct of the late foreman, and the promise that no further grounds of coin plaint should exist, he thought the Court would deal fairly I between the contractor and the public if it inflicted, instead of double •and treble-penalties, only a single one. Mr. Christie thought that the neglect was intentional, for it cer tainly appeared to him thatthe contractor saved more money by neglecting the streets than what the penalties would amount to. Mr. Alderman Gibbs then put the question that but one penaltybe imposed for the neglect which - had taken place in cleansing the streets on Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday last, which was carried unanimously. The amount of penalties inflicted by this decision is about 1201. Princess Galitzin; grand-daughter of the renowned Russian General Suwarow, has arrived at Berfoix (Switzer land), where the Princess resided for several years after she embraced the Protestant-faith. During her last residence in the Russian dominions, she was, by orders from high au thority, confined in a convent, from which it cost the Prin cess much trouble to get liberated. Her children are not per mitted to be with her. • A MOST EXTRAORDINARY NURSE.—In the room in which dinner was laid out, a fine-robust-looking woman was walking up and down, carrying on her arm an oblong basket, covered with a cloth, out of which there proceeded at intervals little plaintive cries and whinings, not unlike those of a very young child. This puzzled me a good deal, because the basket was so small that any infant contained in it must have been a Lilliputian phenomenon, fit only to exhibit at a fair. The riddle, however, was soon solved. The nurse—for such' she was—sat down in a corner, took a little, coffee-coloured (lig out of her basket, and began, very gravely, to suckle this extraordinary nursling. She was a peasant woman, from the province of Santander, and was proceeding to Madrid, where she was engaged as wet-nurse. Fearful of being disqualified by the interval between leaving her own infant and joining her foster-child, she had provided herself with this canine substitute.—Gantier's Travels in Spain. Two fine lions have just arrived from Havre—male and female—bought by Mr. Tiles for 'Van Amburgh—cost 2401. They are handsome animals. The lion is nearly four feet high—only three years old.

Dunt,tx, FEB. 12.—At one o'clock the chair was taker! by John A. O'Neill, Esq. Mr. M. O'Connell introduced to the meeting, which was crowded to suffocation, the new Member for Tipperary, Mr. Nicholas - Maher. Mr. O'NEILL said, as he came forward to preside at the first meeting held after the arrest of Mr. O'Connell, he conceived he was bound now to take the chair at the first meeting after the verdict. An occurrence had just taken place which had at tracted the notice of the civilised world. The only man i n the world who possessed the confidence of seven millions of people was about to be removed from them for a short time. A blow had been struck at them in his person, and an at tempt was made to invade the liberty of the press—the great palladium of public liberty —an engine which they valued next to their personal lifferty.—(Dear, and cheers.) He did not impugn the verdict which had been given —this was not the place for doing so; but elsewhere it would be the subject of discussion. This he believed—that had the trial taken place in England there would have been an ac quittal. It had been said that the Government would put down the Association by a proclamation. lie would tell her Majesty's Government very calmly, •but not less determin edly, that if they did, patriotism, would assume so many Protean shapes, that no Administration could put down the struggle for national independence. Shortly before two o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the hall, and was received with peals of applause. Mr. O'CoNNELt.—One word for Ireland. Everybody knows that Lord John Russell has given notice of a motion for to-morrow in reference to the , affairs of Ireland. I do not think much of any battle which may take place between parties 'in London upon the subject. The present Parlia ment is packed against Ireland, and it is not my intention to go over to the debate, lest I should hold out the expectation that the present Parliament would do anything for Ireland. But still I would wish to give every reasonable assistance to Lord John Russell's motion. Therefore, I will move that two of the gentlemen who acted as counsel for the tra versers (Sir Col Man O'Loghlin and Mr. O'llea) be nomi nated to proceed to London this night to render asssistance to Lord John Russell. They are full masters of all the de tails of the case, and may be useful in affOrding information to Lord John Russell. 'I therefore move that the standing order be suspended, to enable me to move that the Associa tion should request Sir C. O'Loghlin and Mr. O'nea to pro ceed to London to-night. The motion was put and passed. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, M.P.—I rise to propose - a motion for calling upon Mr. O'Connell to allow the Association to print his address in defence of the people, as delivered by him in the Coukt of Queen's Bench. It was an admirable oration ; and was not less so, because it was altogether free from meretricious ornament. The Judges of England, he con sidered, had always been looked upon as counsel for the ac cused; but on that occasion the Chief Justice had not only departed from that rule, but had actually volunteered him self as counsel against them, and forgot himself so far as to allude to the counsel for the traversers, as the gentlemen on the other side.—(Cheers.) Ile felt that they were bound to bring these things under the consideration of Parliament and her Majesty. Mr. N. MATIEn, M. P., said lie had great pleasure in .se conding the motion of Mr. O'Brien. There was nothing he so much delighted in as exposing a public delinquent. The motion having been put from the chair and carried, Mr. O'CONNELL said that of course he would comply with the request, although that the speech he made was said to have been a failure ; but anything- he could have said would have been a failure when compared with the splendid address of his friend, Mr. Sheil, and the transcendantly talented speech of that able counsel, Mr. WhiteAde.' He (Mr. O'Cou nell) did not therefore attempt to use any eloquence in his speech—there was no gilding upon his gingerbread. lie had extorted religious equality, and trampled under foot Orange ascendancy—(Here a scene of yelling - ensued that it would be impossible to describe.) If he were confined in a dungeon —(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion)—he meant t o say, that in case such an event occurred, was it not a subject of . congratulation . that they wouid find another leader in Smith O'Brien ? Mr. O'CONNELL read a letter from Dr. Gi ay, in which that gentleman tendered his resignation as a member of the As sociation, because lie felt that the present were times when proprietors of public journals ought not to be identified with an Association like this. Mr. O'Connell regretted that Dr. Gray was obliged to adopt the course lie had done. He would always consider him as one of his dearest friends, and an un flinching advocate of the people's right's. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN wished it to be distinctly understood that they received Dr. Gray's resignation under protest. The week's rent was then announced to be 6431., and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT DIKE. A Court-martial, composed of Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Hyde Parker, C. 8., President; Captain W. Henderson, C. 8., of the Victory ; Captain Sir J. Hastings, Knight, of the Excellent; Captain R. F. Rowley, of the St. Vincent; and Commander Wilcox, of the Ordinary ; with Mr. W. Greatham, Judge Advocate, assembled on Monday morning on board the Vincent, 120 flag-ship, to try Lieut. Peelle Hart Dyke, late senior Lieutenant of the Iris, 26, on charges exhibited against him by Captain W. Lee, late acting Commandant of the Island of Ascension. - First Charge.—For having, on or about the 20th of July, 1842, the Iris being then at anchor off the Island of Ascen sion, falsely and maliciously asserted on board the Iris, that he (Captain W. Lee) had destroyed or made away with cer tain public letters and documents from the late Captain Ben nett, Commandant of the Island of Ascension, addressed to the Admiralty, and to the late Captai❑ Tucker, senior naval .officer on the African station, he (the said Captain W. Lee) being at the time acting Commandant of that island. Second Charge.--Forhaving, on or about the 26th day of July, 1842, falsely and maliciously stated, in the gun-room of the Iris, that he (Captain Lee) had told a deliberate lie ; and that he (Captain Lee) had broken open a desk, and taken therefrom articles which did not belong to him ; such state ments and assertions tending to injure his (Captain Lee's) character as au officer and a gentleman. A number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, among them a young lady who had sent out the desk in ques tion from England, and who under very trying circumstances, although very young, gave her evidence in a most correct, becoming, and lady-like manner. The prisoner, who was assisted by Messrs. Minchin and Oake, solicitors, made a most able defence, and called a number of witnesses to disprove the evidence for the prosecu tion. A number of certificates from officers under whom the prisoner had served were handed in,- and were read to the Court.; and Captains Sir W. Grant, Sir .J. Hastings, and R. F. Rowley, Dr. Irvine, and several others, were called on, who gave-Lieutenant Dyke a high private and public profes sional character. The Court having maturely weighed the evidence for and against the prisoner, found him in part guilty of the first charge, and sentenced him to be admonished to be more care ful in his language in future. The Court acquitted the prisoner on the second charge. The proceedings of the Court did not'terminate till nearly eight o'clock, rm.

It builds palaces in the wilderness and cities in the forest, and collects every splendour and every refinement of luxury from the fingers of subservient toil. Kings of the East are slaves of the lamp ; the winds blow and the seas roll only to work the behest of its owner.— William Tiiytor of Norwich. PoAClllNG.—Depredations _upon game preserves are now very frequent in the neighbourhood of St. Helens and Prescot, notwithstanding a late melancholy event in that quarter.—Bolton Free Press. ACCIDENT AT THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'S STABLES. —Yesterday afternoon Thomas Enwright, a groom in the service of the Duke of Beaufort,' was kicked in a shocking manner by a horse belonging to his Grace, at his stables, Apple-tree-yard, York-street, St. James's-square. -It appears that Enwright was about to remove the horse from his stall, and on arriving near him he called to bins in the usual way, when the animal suddenly kicked out and struck the unfor tunate man in the face, hurling him with fearful violence against the wall of the stable opposite. On proceeding to his assistance scarcely a feature of his face was discernible, the nose being c3mpletely flattened, one eye forced from its socket, and a long and deep wound, so as to admit therein two fingers, across the top of his nose and under the fore head. A medical gentleman was called in, who, however, directed his immediate removal to. St. George's Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. Keate, one of the house sur geons, and Serjeant-Surgeon to her Majesty, and his assis tants ; and, notwithstanding the injuries the patient has received, some slight hopes are given alas ultimate recovery. THE IVEATHER.—T. AILS.—On Monday night a thick fog prevailed throughout the metropolis and neigh bourhood, which rendered travelling both difficult and dan gerous. On the Thames navigation was almost wholly sus pended, the vessels which did leave the docks and wharfs being obliged to bring up soon afterwards in the Pool and other parts of the river. The fog continued with little altera tion till about eleven o'clock-yesterday forenoon, when it partially cleared away,but not to such an extent as to permit the sun to give forth its cheering rays. Throughout.the night and the whole of yesterday a hard frost prevailed, the thermometer at noon, at. the entrance of the superintendent's office in the London socks, having stood at 29 degrees, or 3 below the•freezine. point. The Serpentine as well as the other waters in the Parks, and ponds in the vicinity of the metro polis, were all coated over with ice, and should the present intense frost continue a day or two longer the wishes of skaters and curlers will be gratified. Several steam-packets due yesterday morning bad not arrived last evening. The northern mails continue to arrive much beyond their fixed time .of arrival, and some of them are more Ulan a day overdue. _ A CRACK SHOT.—Mr. Bennett, a young gentle man, a few days ago, on Plumstead Common, Kent, under took, for a wager, to hit 140 penny pieces with a pistol, thrown up by another individual; which feat, to the astonishment of a number of sporting characters present, he accomplished, without missing a single piece; but with the ball from the piece doubling the pennies up. THE EARL OF CARLISLE.—Last evening further intelligence was received in town from Castle I - reward, re specting the illness of the above respected Nobleman. It is said that the Earl, both on Sunday and Monday nights, en joyed sonic refreshing sleep, and appeared to have slightly improved, but to a very trifling degree. There is great uncer tainty as to the result of his Lordship's attack, and should no relapse assail the noble sufferer, he may possibly regain his strength, and eventually be restored to health. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Dover, Hon. Captain and Mrs. Howard, Viscount Morpeth, Hen. E. Howard, and other immediate members of the Earl's family, are staying at Castle Howard until his Lordship is considered out of danger by his physicians. THE WEATHER.—During the week, though there has been no decided thaw, there have been repeated indica tions of it, and the snow has, consequently, in a great mea sure, disappeared, the streets become dry, and the atnos. • phere has been clear and enlivening. Y es terday mornin g, however, it froze sharply, and, in th w sudden and heavy shower of snow, all the slop and w hich we had last week which has brought back d i sagreea bl e ness, of al. to complain. —Birmingham ei f oreno on, there was a EARL OF CARDIGAN...—.
