Sut,—Tho indifference whiels is stdwnifested ;n Eng land, with regard to architecture (considering - the . irealth, resources, and intelligence of the country), appears almost incredible. It is indeed difficult to believe that 700,000/. has been ex pended, from first to last, upon Buckingham Palace! and the more so, when we find that this sum -exceeds the expense incurred in the erection of the two most beautiful modern edifices in Paris, viz., the " Madeleine" and the " Arc de l'Etoile"—the cost of the former building being 320,000/., and that of the latter 360,0001. Because 700,000/. was wasted at Pimlico, a most rigid eco nomy must needs be exercised upon the next occasion, upon which a demand was made upon the public purse for a na tional object, and the paltry sum of 70,000/. was accordingly voted for the National Gallery. What the result has been the National Gallery itself but too plainly demonstrates, for this stunted and unsightly pile stands forth, in (perhaps) the most commanding position in any capital of Europe, a striking monument of our bad taste, and ill-judged, misplaced parsimony. After such melancholy failures, it might reasonably have been inferred that effectual measures would havebeen taken to prevent their recurrence ; but no, the British .31useum bids fair to rival both the Palace and Gallery. A more poor, meagre, bald, and tasteless structure than that which is re presented by the design now published and circulated, as a faithful copy of Sir Robert Smirke's intended Facade, it would be impossible to conceive. It is a mere duplicate of the Post-office, without presenting one new or agreeable feature. Far be it from me to speak in terms of disparagement of so respectable a gentleman as Sir Robert Smirke, but the new Fa9ade of the British Museum is pronounced by all compe tent judges to be quite unworthy of his reputation. The Miscellaneous Estimates for the present year will shortly be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons, when, no doubt, some explanation will be afforded as to the intentions of her Majesty's Government in respect to this building. The growing interest felt upon this subject must plead my excuse for requesting you to be good enough to give publi city to this letter.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, A FRIED TO THE FINE ARTS. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. M. Duprez, the great French tenor singer, made his first appearance, before an English audience, at this theatre, last evening, and never has it been our lot to witness a more tri umphant debist. For once the play-bills speak the language of simple truth—Duprez is indeed the most eminent tenor in Europe. He belongs not to the race of the feebles—his voice is clear, full, rich, powerful, flexible, and of immense compass. He is a most accomplished musician, and possesses the most exquisite taste. In him art and study have carried to per fection the gifts of nature. He has all the power of Don zelli, with the exquisite taste and finished execution of Rubini. We had been given to understand that Duprez' voice -- was a pure voce di petto. Such however is not the case. His chest voice is pure, rich, and of great compass, but he also possesses a most exquisitely delicate falsetto, which lie uses sparingly, indeed, as a falsetto ought always to be used, but always with the greatest taste and judgment. His acting, too, is of a very high order, full of passion and intensity, and his articulation is so beautifully distinct that, although he sang in English, we could clearly distinguish every syllable that he uttered. The character selected fur his delnit was that of Arnold, in Ro,sini's mag nificent opera - of Guillaume Tell. On his appearance in the opening scene of the first act he was received with loud ap plause, and his manner of giving the opening recitative "A day like this ' "proved that his fame, great as it is, is not more. than deserved. Then followed the beautiful duet with Tell, the whole burden of which fell upon Duprez, for Leffler, who took the part of Tell, was so hoarse, that before the conclu sion of the duet he was obliged to come forward and claim the indulgence of the house. The fact was, that Leffler, who was evidently labouring under a severe cold, could scarcely be heard, so that the duet was in fact a solo by Duprez, and a solo so exquisitely sung and acted as to elicit the most rap turous applause. In the second we had the beautiful duet with Matilda (Miss Romer), "From my heart the secret is stolen," exquisitely given by Duprez and Miss Romer. No thing could exceed the tenderness and pathos of Duprez throughout this scene. Rubini never surpassed the beautiful expressiveness of the tones of Duprez in this exquisite duet. He was admirably supported by Miss Romer, and the duet was of course rapturously encored. Then came the magnificent trio, the oath of the Rutti, which, owing to the spirit by Dup rez an d S tretton, w h o acte d t h e h oarse ness of Leffler was, in .f ac t, a d ue t, g i ven w ith grea t energy part of Walter, and who, throughout the scene of the gather ing cantons, sang the music which should have been sung by Tell. The concluding trio and chorus was very finely given. and Arnold does not appear again until the concluding scene of the last act ; and here Duprez achieved his greatest triumph. All our readers will doubtless remember the beautiful air, " Dear home, still in thy beauty," in which Arnold gives ut terance to his anguish on revisiting his native cottage, and finding that his father has fallen a victim to the tyranii of Gesler. Duprez entered fully into the situations. Hi , manner of giving the concluding lines of the air— " I call in vain with anguish tortured On him who hears no more the spell, Home beloved, where my youth was nurtured, I come to gaze on, and to bid farewell I" was exquisitively expressive. Ile seemed heart-broken. Whether as regarded acting or singing, it was a perfect triumph of art. There were loud calls for a repetition, Dnprez unne forward and bowed imploringly—still the calls continuad, and at length Cooper made his appearance, and, after tkanking the audience for the enthusiastic manner in which they had received Duprez, requested as a favour that, they would not insist upon the encore. The audience, after some slight show of opposition, acquiesced, and were amply rewarded for their forbearance by the magnificently energetic manner in which Duprez gave the grand finale " Then hence away." There is no other singer in the world who could have ap proached him in this magnificent scena. He was called for at the fall of the curtain, and bouquets and crowns wen showered on him in abundance. The opera has been put upon the stage in the most perfect manner .possible. Thu scenery, by the Grieves, is exceedingly beautiful. The choruses are full, and admirably drilled ; and the costumes are superb. The band, which was complete ii! all its parts, was led by R. Hughes, and con ducted by Benedict, and it did full justice to the music of the " maestro." We have never before heard Now ready, at all the Libraries. London : John Mortimer, Adelaide-street.

The following spirited descriptions are furnished by military cor respondents of the Agra Ukhbar : Negotiations had been going on for some dais previous to the 26th of December, 1843, on which day it was supposed the Gwalior Government would submit to all the terms imposed by the British Government. This having failed, on the 28th all general officers, officers com. mending brigades and regiments, were directed to assemble at the Commander.irs Chief's tent at n^on. They did so accordingly, is receive their instructions for the line of march, or for the columns of attack, should they meet opposition on the following morning, which - was fully expected. The whole of the troops were under arms before daylight on the morning of the 29th of December, 1843, and marched from Hingolak, the 3d brigade of Infantry taking a direction towards Mungowlee, the 4th brigade marching upon Mooreeno, and the sth brigade, consisting of No, 10 Light Field Battery, the 4th brigade of Cavalry, consisting of the 4th Lancers and 10th Light Cavalry, under Brigadier Scott, together with her Majesty's 39th Regiment and 56th Regiment of Native Infantry, moving upon the road to Joora. These column! all arrived at their respective positions at eight o'clock, haying marched a distance of six miles. We were aware the enemy were in position at no great distance, though their exact locality was not known to us. We were formed in quarter distance contiguous columns, the artillery and cavalry on our left, in cultivated fields. At this period we perceived four or five elephants coming up in the rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment; to our surprise we perceived Lady Gough, Mrs. General Smith, Miss Gough, and Mrs. Curtis, with three European maid-servants. Lord Ellenborough, at this moment, galloped up with a few troopers, and halted in rear of the 39th colours : he spoke to General Littler and to several officers of the 39th in the most familiar manner. The military spectacle of the field of battle was at this moment truly Vaud, 4-31140e.awVasky ista Imisade of-Infantti in columns stretching far to the right ; Major-Deneral Dennis, With the 4th brigade, in the centre; and the sth brigade on the left; the 3d brigade of Cavalry, her Majesty's 16th Lancers, Ist Light Cavalry, and Governor. General's Body Guard, with Charley Grant's troop of Horse Artillery, under Major. General Thackwell and Brigadier Cureton, to the extreme right of all. The artillery Ilin their proper positions, as ordered. The elephabts in rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment tower. ing over this position of the field of battle, soon attracted the enemy's attention; it was no longer doubtful where the enemy's position lay, and a rapid fire of five guns in succession was directed towards the centre of the 39th, immediately in rear of which was Lord Ellenborough and the ladies ; the distance from the enemy at that period was about 1,500 yards. The first few shots fell short, but in a few moments we could perceive by the elevation of the guns, that the practice of the enemy's artillery was perfect, for several shots in succession bounded over her Majesty's 39th, and close to the elephants. I had seen some service in distant climes. I marked well the firm, cool, and steady countenance of his Lordship on the first occasion of his having been exposed to fire, and the chivalrous bearing of this high.minded nobleman—an honour to his name, an honour to India, and to the British nation, who was reluctantly forced by his advisers and friends to quit this dangerous position, and proceed with the ladies to Mooreeno, which the enemy's fire had not then opened upon. General Littler having at length received the Chiefs' laconic order, " On and at them," directed the two regiments imme diately to advance towards the enemy; the ground was difficult and heavy, which impeded much the progress of our advance ; the enemy then opened a heavy and most destruc. tive fire towards the colours of her Majesty's 39th Regi ment, and as we advanced the fire became equally destruc. tin to all parts of the line of this noble regiment, well supported by the 56th Native Infantry. Throughout the ad vance to this battery there was not a stone, or bank, or shrub of any kind to cover the soldiers from this heavy fire. The steadi. ness, firmness, and undaunted courage of the troops, animated by the gallant Littler, were beyond all praise. The enemy's fire was unerring, not a shot but told. When about sixty yards from the battery her Majesty's 39th gave them a volley, and with three British cheers rushed upon the enemy at their guns, and the brave fellows that defended them died by their sides. The conflict In the village of Maharajpoor was short, but the struggle severe and desperate. It was impossible to state the strength of the enemy, as they were crowded in all directions; when broken in upon in the houses and inclosures in the village, and when even they were supposed to be subdued, the fire was kept up from these places by vast numbers who had concealed themselves in the little plantations and gardens surrounding the village. It would be invidious in the writer of this to particularise any conspicuous act of gallantry where all were equally brave against one of the most destructive fires of a determined enemy, who were drives from their guns only by the bayonet. It is impossible to speak in too high terms of Major. General Littler, whose reso. lute and cool bravery was conspicuous throughout., He (with his staff) was close in with the enemy's guns, receiving on this occasion a severe contusion from a grape shot on the left ancle. Captain Greaves was wounded by his side, Captain Harris was engaged in a personal conflict, and Major Ryan's (her Majesty's 60th) horse was wounded by a musket ball ; this shows that our gallant Ge neral did not spare his person. In re-forming line we found that our loss had been severe both In officers and men ; our attention was then directed to a heavy cannonade on the left of the Maharajpoor. The gallant Wright soon got his brigade formed in line again ; and proceeded with a resolute and firm step to the attack of this second position, named Choundah. The distance from Maharajpoor to this new position was about a mile. The force of her Majesty's 39th Regiment and 56th Native Infantry had been much reduced in numbers, but the tried valour of the troops nothing could daunt, the Ge neral acting on his own judgment in this operation. The can. nonade in this second advance was even more destructive and mur. deross than the attack upon Maharajpoor in grape, chain, and round shot ; every discharge from well.served batteries in front and lank made a breach in our ranks and thinned them most rapidly, a cannon shot at this period mowing down three men of her Ma . . By the same Author, - - - jetty's 39th, and a l so a h orse on w hi c h M a j or Ryan was riding — at the General's side. The gap in the ranks of the 39th was woeful. The gallant Brigadier then halted his regiment (the 39th) with as much steadiness as on the parade ground, and perfected the line, and, on arriving near enough to their entrenched camp, be gave them a volley as at Maharajpoor, and dashed in upon the guns with the bayonet; the enemy Hying before on this occasion, and, abandoning their guns, left their tents standing.

The object of the water Is to afford a plAin statement, without giving praise to a single individual, in any subordinate rank ; if it could be done in a letter like this, it would be to record the incat brilliant acts of devotion and valour, of both officers and men of her Majesty's 39th Regiment. I must, however, mention the cool and steady courage of the veteran Bray, leading in front the colours of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, whose gallant son fell the same day, carrying one of the banners of the regiment. A fter we supposed all opposition had ceased four guns in a detached battery to the right were opened upon us, with murderous grape, by a few desperate Mahratta soldiers; the Grenadier coin pany of her Majesty's 39th and a company of the 56th Native In. fantry soon attacked and secured them. It is not my province to remark on this occasion upon the movements of the general field of battle; all those who were not engaged or could not be engaged evinced the most anxious seal, hoping that it might be their turn next to move. My narration is simply what occurred with the two regiments of the sth brigade, and whatever credit may be due to General Littler, he must owe chiefly to the Intrepidity and valour of the troops he had the good fortune to command on the ever memorable and glorious 29th of Dec., 1843. P.S.—I should have mentioned in its proper place the good Service done by Captain Grant's troop of Horse Artillery on the Choundah position previous to the advance other Majesty's 39th Regiment. the splendid overture so efficiently and so correctly per formed. The audience were loud in the expression of their approbation, and the concluding movement of the overture was repeated. The overture commenced at a quarter before seven, but long before that time the house was crowded in every part. It was, indeed, a bumper house, and the vi sitors to the boxes, who had not taken the precaution to se cure places, experienced the greatest difficulty in obtaining even a standing place where they could see and hear. There may be other parts of the fight connected with this bri gade leit out of this hurried account, which, from my being through. ont the day with her Majesty's 39th Regiment, did not come under my immediate eye. (From the Bombay Cow ier.) Head-quarters, Camp Hingolah, Dec. 28, 1843. As I happened to be one of those attached to the centre co lumn, it is only in my power to give you a slight and, I fear, im perfect account of the glorious fight we had on the 29th ; but the fact is, there were two perfectly distinct battles fought on that day —and it Is the movements of the centre column which I will en deavour to describe. When the column arrived at Mungowlee, its head was changed by the order of his Excellency the Commander.in.Chief, and moved eastward. When yet in column, to our astonishment, over whizzed two balls, and one knocked down about seven men of the 2d Grenadier Regiment. Our gallant Commander, General Va liant, then directed line to be formed—the 2d Grenadier s being on the left, the 16th Grenadiers, under Colonel Maclaren, in the centre, and the Queen's 40th on the right. The line then ad vanced on the village of Maharajpoor. under a very heavy fire, of ball and grape from a battery of four gun', poured into the 2d Grenadiers and 16th—and at the same time, some hun. dreda of lards from the village, and in front of the Queen's 40th, two more guns scattered destruction, wounding their commanding officer, Major Stopford ; and his horse, I hear was Cut by swordsmen. The old gallant Commanding Officer Maclaren was hit slightly about this time, and his horse shot. " Forward" was the cry of the brave General, and on all rushed—capturing the guns, and entered the left of the village, which was occupied by numbers of the enemy, who kept up a continued fire from musketry, and who were also firing from the tops of the houses. Here we met the 39th, Queen's, and 56th Regiment, with General Littler, who, after carrying a heavy bat. tery, had entered the right of the village—but the junction of the two columns soon cleared the place. At this time the half of the 16th Grenadiers and Queen's 40th. being on the right of the line, had, from not being opposite any past of the village, been rapidly advancing, and then opened to their view the'second position of the enemy, which consisted of a battery of four guns, with a large brick.house loopholed, and which was crammed by the enemy's in fantry; a well with a six.foot wall round it, and two large trees occupied by musketry. During the advance on this strong posi. lion, and across a fine open maidan, you may imagine how, in the space of some 1,200 yards, we were peppered by the enemy. Shot of all sizes and grape in profusion were thrown amongst us, and, to do them justice, the enemy's artillery were beautifully served— scarcely a shot went over our heads, nearly every one told, and you saw threes and fours falling in ever y direction. But again did the cry of " Forward " issue from the lips of the General, and on coming within a few yards of the battery a most desperate rush was made; the enemy discharged their guns within five paces, and then rushed sword in hand on us—and that in front of Euro. peans—so you See what a gallant foe we had to contend with. Here she conduct of General Valiant excited univeral admiration; it was truly that of the bravest of the brave. He put himself at the head of his troops, and, taking off his cap, cheered lustily. His enthusiasm spread, and the position was car. tied in the most dashing way; but, alas I dreadful was the loss. Poor Newton, of the 16th Grenadiers, fell pierced by six balls ; mounted officer o o ffl f e t ielres Queen'sSepoys and Europeans s t rewe d th e pl a i n; to be the general m ar k, f or th e C omman di ng 40th, Captain Codrington, was cut down at the guns, in the act of nobly charging at its head, and several others were also wounded. Both of the Adjutants of the 16th and 40th were wounded, and also their horses. To show hew much exposed was the Gallant General, it may be mentioned that his horse was hit by a cannon ball, and in two other places by grape, and ho was obliged to mount another charger. His pistol inside his coat, it is said, saved his life. for g ball entered at the left breast and passed But s luckily cawing a severe contusion only. No sooner was the position carried than, to stand there became too hot, for the enemy had, retired on a third position of six guns, placed 400 or 509 yards from the hut, and 400 to its right rear, and qin to its left. " Form line," was the word of command, end soon it was done under the superintendence of the gallant officers ; and again was the cheer upraised by the General - leading the way, assisted by Col. Sanders, Military Secretary, and Major Barr, of the queeb i li service. At this Doint thi rue was the heaviest EXAMPLES. Polley. Annual Bonus Cash Prem. Entry. No. Age. Sum . Prem. Added. Bonus.

A petite musical drama, entitled Der Nacht Teufel, was produced at this theatre last evening with complete success. The principal characters were supported by Miss P. Horton, Miss Julia Bennett, and Mrs. Glover. The two former ladies contributed greatly to the success of the piece, by their charming manner of executing some very delightful music; and Mrs. Glover seconded it, by her admirable acting a. , lady-superior over certain maids of honour. The character was exactly suited to her, and sho did it full justice. This , drama is altogether a very pleasant affair, and will no doubt have a run. The house was very well attended. MENZIES' CALEDONIAN COSTUME ASSEMLBY.—On Tuesday evening last this long and well-established re-union came off in a manner worthy of its former reputation. Many, varied, and beautiful, were the " Garbs of old Gaul" that blendedwith picturesque effect among the elegantly.dressed and fairer portion of humanity. Mr. Adams' band played some of the most favourite quadrilles, &c., with a liberal admixture of tlie stirring strains of the Land o' Cakes. The reels were most capitally danced in true native style, step, and spirit, to the mountain music of Mackay, piper to the late Duke of Sussex, who seemed to feel, with his brother of the drone and chan ter—Rab the Ranter, of " Maggie Lauder " celebrity—that, " It was worth his while to play sae weel, When he had twa sic dancers," After an elegant and ample supper, where loyalty and gal lantry forgot not the votive cup to our Liege Lady and her fireside, and the lovely partners of this night's festivity, the dance was resumed, with increased alacrity and enjoyment, until an advanced hour in the morning. All seemed to be highly pleased with thearrangementsof the Asse m bly, w hi c h were made by Mr. Menzies, and which he conducted with his well-known ability of tact and amiability of temper. LEOMINSTER.—A second lecture on free trade was delivered 1V Mr. Falvey, of the Anti-Corn-law League, on Wednesday evening, the Gth inst. The result was highly satisfactory to the friends of free trade. Two individuals, a Mr. Cartwright, and a Mr. Cooper, severally attempted to refute the lecturer, but after one of them had used words which were deemed disrespectful to the lecturer and the au dience, much interruption occurred. On the meeting having been appealed to, however, whether they would hear these parties, and a show of hauls being held up in their favour, they were called upon to come forward a second time, which each of them declined to do. The spacious room was well filled, and the feeling in favour of free trade, as may be ga thered from the preceding details, very enthusiastic. It is supposed from 400 to 500 persons, were present. We cannot refrain from adiling, that after tI!P •`a" weight of authority and evidence whieb is abroad, PVin6ng the safety and bene fits of unrestricted industry, and after the reluctantly-ex torted admission of Sir R. Peel, that the principles of free trade are the principles of common sense, he must be a bold ;1141) Who attempts to controvert those principles. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubltr Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOICEIGN. On Monday the King and Queen of the trench- received Marshal Soult, the Baron and Baroness de Rothschild, M. Nathaniel Rothschild and lady, and Messrs. Newton and Price, officers of the American navy. All the accounts from Goritz received on Wednesday in Paris, indicated the approaching death of the Duke d'Angou leme. The Marquis of Larochejacquelin has been elected Member for Ploermel, by a majority of 146. His opponent had only 44 votes. The fifth bureau of the Chamber of Deputies, before which the inquiry as to the validity of the election of M. Charles Laffitte has been going on, decided on Tuesday in his favour by a large majority. The Gazette des Tribunaux states that four persons have been taken into custody on suspicion of having been con cerned in the murder of Mr. Ward. The names are not given, but they are described as a dealer in second-hand articles, a house painter, a basket-maker, and a servant. A letter from Bordeaux of the 2d inst. mentions that the inundations were on the increase in that neighbourhood. The Drot, the Babe, and the Lot had all overflowed their banks, and done considerable damage. The melting of the snow in the Pyrenees was expected to add to the calamity. The communications between Bordeaux and the Landes-and Libourne were interrupted, and the steasn7lNatals4l Mooed to • l ay , aft- ietiztar riter'bettieen Vingon knit Ageu. The plain of Arveyre was entirely submerged. A veteran named Siehring died lately at Koningsberg, aged 108. He entered the army in 1760, under the great Frederick, and had taken part in the seven years' war, of which he was the last survivor. An inhabitant of Boulogne-sur-3ler, who is said to be in flourishing circumstances, was arrested in Paris some days ago, on a charge of having stolen articles in several shops of the capital, where he had made purchases. We learn from Vienna that preparations are being made at the palace at Scheenbrun, for the reception of the Emperor of Russia in the month of May. It is said that the Kings of Bavaria and Prussia, and the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg, are also expected. It is stated by the Cologne Gazette that the Bavarian Go vernment has resolved to bear the whole cost of the railroad of Bomberg as far as Frankfort. on-the-Maine, reserving to itself the same privileges and advantages as would have been conceded to a company. According to a letter from Athens of the 13th ult., the British Ambassador there has sent in a note to the Govern ment, recommending the strictest economy, the protecting powers being resolved to insist on the regular payment of the interest on the public debt. The Silesian Gazette states that large reinforcements are being sent by the Russian Government to the army of the Caucasus, and that the effective force of Russia in that quarter will soon amount to 200,000 men. LAW AND POLICE. At the Northampton Assizes, a Frenchwoman, named Xathalie Miard, was indicted for endeavouring to extort the sum of 10,000 francs (40010 from the Rev. C. Marsh, by means of threatening letters. The prisoner was an interesting looking woman, of ladylike appearance, and a good deal of vivacity about her. It was stated she knew hardly a word of English. The Rev. Mr. Marsh, the prosecutor, is a gen tlemanly-looking man, about thirty-six years of age, and son to the late Bishop of Peterborough. He is an unmarried man, and a few years ago becam e acqua i nted w i th the prisoner at a:house of ill repute in London. This led to her annoying him, and hence the present prosecution. The jury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict of " Not guilty," which was received with applause by a crowded court. This demon stration of feeling was instantly checked. At the Central Criminal Court William M‘Gregor, 28, and Charles Lambert, 25, seamen, were indicted for feloniously attempting to make a revolt on board a ship, called the Esther, upon the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. They pleaded that they were ill treated, and denied that they intended to deprive the captain of his authority. The jury deliberated four hours, and then found M'Gregor guilty, but acquitted the other prisoner, coupling with their verdict the following statement :—" That the jury are of a decided opinion, and strongly recommend, that the slightest punishment that the Court can pass, ought to be inflicted, considering there was much real cause for dis content and complaint, which complaint was not only ma nifested by the prisoners, but by all the crew, excepting the officers. The jury consid er th e capta i n and owners of the vessel highly reprehensible for not having provided suffi ciently for the wants and comfort of the men." Edward Lampridge, a young man of stylish exterior, was remanded at Worship-street, on a c h arge o f cutt i ng a lady's' pocket in one of the carriages of the Eastern Counties' Railway Company. COURT—prisRIONABLE. The Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, D u k e o f Buccleuch, Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Haddingten, Lord kVharncliffe, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Henry Hardinge, and Sir Edward linatchbull, were the guests of Sir Robert Peel on Wednes day evening, in Whitehall-gardens. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Justice Coltman, the Judges of the Northern Circuit, were entertained at Ravensworth Castle on Saturday last, by Lord and Lady Ravensworth. On Sunday they proceeded to Blagdon Hall, to dine with Sir Matthew . and Lady Ridley. The Hon. Henry Liddell, ALP., arrived on Friday last to join the family circle from town. The Hon. Member repairs to the metropolis imme diately after Easter. The Earl and Countess of Kenmare have arrived at their mansion in Belgrave-square, from the Lakes of Killarney. Lord and Lady Feversham entertained at dinner on Thurs day the Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford and Lady Louisa Churchill, Lord Beaumont, Baron Koller, Sir Charles and Lady Cecilia Des Voeux, Sir Frederick Trench, Colonel Wood, M.P., Mr. Neville, M.P., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boyce. The Hon. Colonel Anson left town on Wedne3day, for Mel ton Mowbray. Sir Henry Mildmay left town Yesterday, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort at'Badminton. SEXSCIILLANZIOUS. The fifteenth anniversary of the Infant Orphan Asylum was celebrated on Thursdilea, at the London Tavern. The total sum subscribed on the occasion was 1,4781., which is the largest collection yet made at any anniversary, dinner. Amongst the list of subscribers were—the Marquis of West minster, 50/. •, Lord Robert Grosvenor, 20/. ; Charles Fiddev, P:sq., 105/. ; B. B. Cabbell, Esq., 204 ; Sir George Carroll, 101 ; Mr. Wagliorn (for the Paella of Egypt), 25 gu i neas; Mr. Waghorn, 20 guineas ; and others. It appears by a recent Parliamentary return, that the im portation of wheat has decreased full two-thirds between 1841 and 1843, and that the imports of flour have decreased nearly one-half during the same period. On Thursday large printed placards were forwarded to London, and circulated among the police, headed " The Fire at Peet Hall, West Mersea, Essex ; 2001. reward." The bill then stated that " a reward of 1001. will be paid from a fund subscribed for that purpose, and that the Secretary of State for the Home Department, has been pleased to signify that a further reward of 100/. will be paid on such conviction, by her Majesty's Government." The expenditure of the City police in 1843 is stated by Mr. D. W. Harvey to be 41,351 L, which divided by the popula tion (140,967) of the city, presents . a cost 'of ss. 101 per head. The expenditure for the metropolitan police in the year 1843 is stated by the Commissioners of Police to be 289,322/. This amount, divided by the population (2,032,458) of the metropolitan police districts, shows a cost of 2s. 104. per head. THE LATE RIGHT HON. MR. STEWART MACKENZIE. We have great pleasure in extracting the following just tribute to the memory of the Right Hon. J. S. Mackenzie, from the Ceylon Herald of the Ist of De cember last : If it be possible in any way to feel a pleasure con nected with an occasion so melancholy, as referring to the death of a great and good man , we feel it now, i n bringing the columns of the Ceyl on Herakl to join in the homage of high regard which is universally expressed here since the melancholy news arrived of the death of our late Governor, Mr. Stewart Mackenzie. He was taken from us when he was just beginning to feel at home in his government—just beginning to be rightly appreciated. And he is taken from the world when it might naturally have been hoped that he might have lived to spend many years, devoted, as all his have been, to the activities of Christian philanthropy. But he has died a martyr. Whether we look to the state of health in which he returned from his voluntary mission to the Veddah country, or to the trials which he has been sub sequently called upon to undergo, we equally feel war ranted in saying that he has died a martyr. While, therefore, we lament his loss, we cannot lament him. Doubtless he has made a happy change; and, we trust, it was a pleasing recollection to him, during his painful illness, when he called to mind the last month he spent amongst us. It was a pleasing testimony to the authority, and ultimately persuasive power of ster ling principle and uniform good intention, combined with liberal views, to see how enemies changed into admirers when the news arrived that he was to be re called. It was remarked that at the public dinner which was given on the evening of his departure, only one person of any note in the colony was absent. We call to mind also the parting addresses from every class and institution in the Island which greeted the last days of our late GOvernor here •, nor will those soon forget him who remember his affability, his intelligence, his wonderfully varied knowledge, the deep interest he took in every cause which had civilization or Chris tianity for its object,and the affection he bore to every kindred spirit. Our own more recent arrival in the Island prevented us from being among the number of those who had personal opportunities of approciating his worth as a man, and his value as a Governor, but in the above remarks we are only saying what is already on everybody's lips ; and since such is the fact, we do not feel that it would be becoming in the etylon Herald to be silent, or merely reprint. which, however, we gladly do, the remarks of our contemporary, which are not only just, but well expressed. COMMISSION or LllNACY.—Yesterday a Commis sion of Lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Sheriffs' Office, Red Lion-square, to inquire into the state of mind of Sir Thomas BakM Irice.Aduural of the Red, and at house, An illlfiate Of Pi, Sutherland's Asylum, Black land's noun, Uhelsea, The fhet was proved, and the jury returned a verdict that Admiral Sir Thomas Baker had been of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his affairs since the 13th of September, 1843, and strongly recom mended that he should be remoycrl tQ ttke care of his friends 0 WON% / A singular accident occurred in the heat of the action, just after clearing the village. As a man of the Horse Artillery was in the act of taking ammunition out of his limber, a round shot from the enemy fell in, and caused some boxes to blow up, and many of the gallant fellows were wounded. Our loss has been frightfully heavy, and will of itself show how desperately and gallantly did the enemy fight, as the centre column has lost some 400 killed and wounded; but the brunt of the action falling on the Europeans caused their loss to be the worst, as the Queen's 40th has about eight officers wounded and 170 killed and wounded, and had no less than three commanding officers, as the regiment at the last position was fought by Captain Oliver, and eventually brought out of action by him. The 16th Grenadiers lost Lieut. Newton, killed, and three officers wounded, amongst them the gallant Maclaren, who so often distinguished himself in Affghanis tan, and they had 180 killed and wounded ; the Burdwans had three officers wounded—one, Captain Maclean, Aide-de-Camp to the Governor. General, some SO killed and wounded—this is what report says; the old Candahar brigade has lest, but the returns are not yet out. The enemy had 14 battalions of infantry lu the field, some 6,000 cavalry, and sixty guns, all of which were captured. - - __- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YnsrEamer. The only " feature " of an afternoon remarkable for het dullness, was the elevation of Mr. Crockford's horse to the premiership—this was effected by a bet of 50() even, his backer, who gave a sovereign for choice, having repeatedly offered to double it ; the highest offer outright against him was 6 to 1, while in one quarter, 13 to 2 was betted against the Danebury nag. This pair and a few outsiders were all that obtained any notice. We have only to add to this that the two leading favourites for the Chester Cup also changed places, and the transactions on that race were just as " hvely-" as those on the Derby.

At Arnlionn, on the 27th ult., the Rhine was 3 ft. 50 inches, on the 28th 4 ft. 65 inches, yesterday at 5 ft. 40 inches, and this morning, our account tells us that it was at 5 ft. 40 inches, and still rising.

THE HAGUE, MARCH 4.—Accounts from Cologne say that the Rhine at that place, which on the 29th of February had risen to the height of 29 feet 7 inches, had fallen, and on then 2d instant was at 27 feet 8 inches. The principal rivers Geldersland are also falling. • Tits HAGUE, MARCH s.—The first Chamber in its sitting, yesterday, heard the report of the Central Section, on the project of law for a property-tax, &c.; the debate on which is to be opened on the 6th. The Dutch papers, with many supplements, are almost wholly filledwith very long reports of the speeches made uu the debate on the law for imposing a property-tax, and for a voluntary loan, which occupied the Chambers for several day_s, and the result of which has al rea d y b een g i ven. IiA3IBURGH, MARCH 2. The Stockholm mails of the 20th. and 23d of February, are still due, so that we have no news of the health of the King of Sweden, since the 16th.— . Haniburgh Borsenhalle, March 2. BRUSSELS, MARCH, 6.—The average price of wheat last week was 17f. 42c., and that of rye, 10f. 39c. The import duty -on wheat therefore remains 37f. 50e. per 1,000 kilo grammes, and on rye, 21f. 50c. The export duty on both is 25c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The Breslow Gazette, says, there is a report of a projected marriage of the King of Hanover, to the Dowager Grand Duchess Alexandria of Mecklenburgh. The Liege j ournals are full of details of the inundation of the Meuse, and of the damage caused by it- POLISH FRONTIERS, FEB. 20.—Since it has become known in Poland what fate avails those that seek refuge in Prussia, desertions has almost entirely ceased, at which everybody is well pleased, as these strangers have for the most part only proved the cause of ranch trouble. The accounts from the Carpatheans are very unfavourable; it continues to sninv almost without interruption, and we may therefore experA destructive inundations which may affect the beautiful valley of the Vistula in Poland, but more probably perhaps West Prussia; for if the river (which often happens) is covered with ice after it has broken up in Poland, the whole injury will fall on that province, as it did some years ago. In Poland itself, especially in the eastern part, the roads are so blocked up with snow that the communications are ex tremely difficult. This has caused a decline in the prices of corn in the markets of Warsaw. The carnival was not so animated at Warsaw as former?y, though the Governor gave several splendid fifes. By a decision of the Governor, the mode of applying far passports to foreign countries, which has hitherto been so tedious, has been shortened. A dividend of 7s. per share was declared at the meeting of Shareholders of the Croydon Railway held yesterday, the ,balance of profit and loss for the last half-year, including the sum formerly set apart for depreciation of stock, showing an amount of 14,6551. 18s. Hid. It appears from the Report that the traffic between Croydon and London continues in a stationary condition ; but so soon as the oppor tunity shall be afforded by the proportionate tolls of the Bricklayers' Arms line, the Directors state th a t it i s t h e i r intention materially to reduce the fares to that station ; and as they have no doubt that the consequent increase of traffic will warrant the necessary expenditure, they propose at the same time to add as much as possible to the public ac commodation and convenience, by the greater frequency of trains and other means, which, they say, they feel would be perfectly valueless as inducements to tra f fi c un d er the high rate of fare to which they are at present compelled to resort. Negotiation with the Greenwich Company on the subject of a reduction of toll has ceased, and little disposition was manifested to induce the Directors to re open the matter, after the late unsuccessfnl attempt to bring about an arrangement. Mr. Wilkinson, in, the course of his address to the meetin a t ep l t fin in t g ed a at es t se th of e able terms were t p h r e ob G a r b e i e li n ty wi o c f h tl i t i e ne C , Croydon in C g om rea panz sub mitted to ; but it does not seem that the Croydon Company are inclined to allow a lease of their line to the South-Eastern Company, since prospective advantages are considered to be of paramount importance, and as not likely to re ceive due attention in any arrangement which might, under the present aspect of affairs, take place. The Croy don Company supports the project of a line of railway from Chatham, to form a junction with the Croydon and Brighton lines, to open a communication with the western parts of England ; and the Directors propose to allow the traffic of the Chatham li ne t o pass free of toll till the shareholders receive 4 per cent. The works on the Bricklayers' Arms branch are proceeding satisfactorily, and it is confidently expepteci,that the line will be opened for public traffic by the Ist of next May.— Times. DEATH OE ADMIRAL HALL.—We have received. by the Queen's messenger, who arrived yesterday morning, a letter from St. Petersburgh, dated February 20, containing the fallowing account of the sudden death of Admiral Hall : The writer states--" We had a very melancholy circumstance on Sunday before last, during Divine service at the English church. Admiral Hall, the much-esteemed friend of the Emperor, fell suddenly down in a fit and expired, at the age of sixty. He was formerly a lieutenant in the British set.• vice, and was afterwards made an admiral in the Russian; navy. The Emperor, in honour of a faithful serva n t, w i ll attend his Ameral. AQUATICS AT ETON COLLEGE.---The captain, Mr. Codrington, has just selected his crew for his eight-oared boat, for the approaching season, which consists of the following Etonians :—Mr. Codrington (captain), and Messrs:. Errington, Luttrell, Speake, Slade, Babington, Dixon, and Woodridge. Lord Cecil has been selected by the caßtaia coxswain. that had been Dist/tined the wh4le day'; and It was fearful to see bow the grape mowed down the Europeans and Sepoys .....the stubbornness displayed again by the enemy, in compelling the bayonet alone to clear the battery, showed us, that great in deed was the mistake raised that it was a rabble we were to oppose —ter only after desperate hand to hand work was the battery carried, and the enemy fled. A harder contested action has never occurred in this pirt of India, and I believe that fought by General Littler was equally severe, but I cannot give you any ac. count, as after he passed through the village and moved by our rear to attack the enemy's left, I never saw them, though the cannonade and musketry in his direction convinced all that a severe engagement was taking place. I must tell you that after the 2d Grenadiers, under Colonel Hamilton, and part of the 16th Regiment, under Colonel Maclaren, had in the most gallant style eleared the village, or rather the part which fill to their share, the Commander.in.Chief personally ordered the old I 3 urdwans to halt, and the 16th were unable to regain their position alongside the right wing, owing to the rapidity of the advance, but several from being more active got up into their places, and handsomely did they do their work.
