According to the decision pronounced by the Court, the evidence of this Man was to be conclusive upon the facts and the law. Such being the responsibility cast upon this gaoler by the decision of the Court, it became important to know whether they could by any means impeach this extraordinary authority that had been given him by the Court. Their Lordships had said that he was a lawyer, and that he was Possessed of more than ordinary powers—powers which he could only denominate as scperlinuaan, for he was able to know what took place in Canada although it was 4,000 mites distant. Ilow, under such circumstances, were they to impeach his credit ? Why, by a singular hitch of good fortune, he had made a great and through it they had got a document which had been concocted in Canada, which he had set out. Now, what does the warrant say that it contained, one first, " whereas," and he en treated their Lordships attention to the first proposition it set out with. He bad read it over many times, and in the first recital with re spect to these men—in the first recital of their names there was not a shadow of predication. It said that all these men had been con victed before the Courts of Upper Canada, and what was more curious in the affidavits before the Court, the dispatch also stated that they were convicted. Now, what dad the ',turn say ? Why, that they bad never been tried. Then came the question—which was true? Was the conviction true, or the pardon ? One or other must be false, and the conclusion that he drew was that, from the beginning to the end, there had been a fabrication in Upper Canada by Sir George Arthur, and those acting with him. He (Mr. Roebuck) made that assertion boldly and fearlessly. The Attorney-General had said that these persons were pardoned. The ArroasEY.GENEnAL—Would your Lordships allow me to state— Lord DENMAN—We have the affidavit. " Tried and convicted" is the expression. The ArroaNcv.GENERAL--There was a list of persons pardoned Upon condition of transportation. Lcrd DENNIAN—You are quoting Mr. Bunt's affidavit. Mr. ROEBUCK—Which quotes Sir George Arthur's despatch. The ATTORISIEV-GENTIRAL was about to read the passage, when Mr. Roenneu said, angrily—l would thank you, Mr. Attorney-Gene ral, not to attempt to relieve me of my duty. The Learned Conn. gel then read the passage from Mr. Blunt's affidavit, in which they are called persons pardoned. The prisoners had all sorts of names applied to them. The Solicitor-General termed them quasi convicts ;he (Mr. IL) would take the liherty of calling them pseudo convicts. He was arguing upon the necessity of great circumspection with regard to the statements of officers, and the danger there was not only of mistakes, but oppression, if the forms were dispensed with which the Wisdom -110, he must not say now the wisdom—but on Monday last he might have said—which the wisdom of their ancestors had thought necessary to throw around men charged by great persons with Melt crimes. They all knew the extraordinary effects which had been Produced upon the minds of men by the horrors of a dungeon, They had seen in England, in the case of Bank prosecutions, the terrible effects of persons being allowed to plead guilty to minor offenees under the terror cf a capital penalty hanging over their heads ; and was it rot monstrous that what had thus excited the horror of the people of England should be allowed to go en with impunity in Canada—not only with individual injustice, but Producin g a un iversal feeling of insecurity ? Sir Geerge Arthur had stated, in a public document, that they were convicts. He also stated that t hey were pardoned. In one of these cases he must have stated what was U ntrue. Sir J. Colborne receiving his information from Sir G. Arthur, St ated they were convicted. That was false. But the same degree of Marne did not attach to Sir John, who would naturally go by Sir George Arthur's authority. Now, Sir George Arthur sent them to Quebec. The Attorney-General has stated that Sir John Colborne's warrant ex- Penderl itself when the parties reached Liverpool. By parity of reasoning Si r —.Arthur's authority expired at Quebec. Then by what authority were the prisoners brought to Eeglaed ? On Sir John Colborne's. But Sir John Colborne's warrant does not include the name of Leonard Watson. how the warrant beginning with " Whereas," merely enumerated the names of several persons as having been severally indicted and convicted of high treason in the Courts of Upper Canada. There was not- the shadow of a predication. Would such a document pass for two-pence in England ? No. Besides which it stated one fact notoriously false. Now it was said that Batchelor was ' 44 guilty; perhaps he was not fraudulently guilty, but there was such a thing as criminal neglect ; and was not that the casa here, where the gaoler stat,d, as his authority, a certain document, which he had never received. He (Mr. Roebuck) wou'd now relieve himself of a difficulty he had felt since the proceedings began. On Saturday the Attorney -General had asked him for his " points"—luckily they were not sent. The return to which the prisoners' Counsel were objecting was not a legal document till Monday morning. The ArrORNEY-GE.NERAL with some warmth here interposed, and said the return was in the possession of Messrs. Ashurst and Co., to tidem verdis, as it was tiled on Smut day. Mr. ;ROEBUCK—But allow me to mention this rather important fact that my "Points" were not sent teem, and that so'soon as they Were sent we were told the return was to be amended, and after the blunders which have since been discovered, was it not fortunate that our points were not sent earlier? Now it was worthy of remark that Leonard Watson had been indicted in March and petitioned, but was not pardoned till October, and never re ceived any answer. Was that the proceeding of honest men sincerely desirous of administering justice, to keep a man in prison from March to October, without any answer, that answer involving no less than trans portation for life ? Now the immateriality of the warrant had been argued But although he (Mr. Roebuck) considered that its materiality had been sufficiently established, he thought the question now was whether Mr. Batchelor had taken the proper precautions. Now, no doubt Mr. Batchelor had good intentions. Hell was paved with them. But if atlr. Batchelor was to hare such pawer and such responslhility, surely a rigid scrutiny should be exercised over his statements; and having been C oUvicted of stating one falsehood, that would destroy the credibility of t hem hole of his evidence. M. ,FRY said, after the fulness with which this case had been argued, 1 :Would only advert to the dangerous consequences which would fol_ to „ -W, if gaoiers, or any person holng another in impisonmnt, were tie allowed to shelter himself un di der the protection r of a third party, n ether authorized by the Crown or not; and it was imp o rt an t for the ' s ecurity of the public liberty that the authority of this high prerogative writ should be rigidly and Effectively enforced. -Lord DONMAN, after consulting with his Learned Col:cagues, said— /Otto the question of amending the return, which has bee n much dis e,ussed, I don't know whether it is to be considered as concl usivel y be rre us, or whether it is to be taken merely as a rule to show cause. If 111 the fo.•wer case, we are ready to pronounce our opinion upon it. Mr. HlLL.said their Lordships might consider that point as sufficiently argued. The ATTORN,IY-GENERAL wished to refer to one or two cases upon the Materiality of the warrant. Mr. HILL objected that the Attorney-General should have a right to ZPly as to the materiality of the warrant, which arose upon his (Mr. 's) argument, when the question of amending arose upon the Attor licY-General's. Lord DENMAN—It strike; me that when you very properly made the cvancy of the warrant a point in your argument, that the Attorney- General is entitled, according to our usual pr,:ctice, to observe upon cases which you cited on that point. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —I will do no more, my Lord. The first take, Reach v. Dowling, 3 Salkeld, is a remarkable proof of the inaccuracy of the Reports which go by that name, tor profcising to have occurred in the 3d of Queen Ann, it cites an ...et passed in the sth year ; but the authority L a quite irreleOult, for the party was illegally taken in execution Faulkener lia,l stated several cases to show that transportation was not kno w n to the core; moo law of England. Certainly it was not, and this Was laid down in Coke ,7nd Blackstone. Mr. Dealtry had shown to him and there were before the Court, cases where pardon hod been granted, on condition of submitting to iransportation, during therebellion of 1745. Mr. HeLL said his LearAed Friend was not only replying on the cases Cited, but referring to others.t The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —It was not necessary to refer to these cases, because this proceeding was not at corn- Mon law, it was under a lawful ordinance of the legislature of Upper Canada, the validity of which had been recognized by the unanimous decision of this Court. Mr. Faulkner had admitted that if the prisoner was in execution, no warrant was necessary. He (the Attorney-General) submitted that he was in execution of the sen. tence, that, though it was not pronounced after the trial by Jury, it Was a sentence pronounced according to law. After a diligent c iatisideration of the cases, it seemed to him that there was no power to contradict this return to the writ of habeas corpus. They could not contradict a return standing on the files of the Court, but they might Plead an avoidance introducing a new fact ; where there was a return 'made, knowing it to be false, it was a contempt of the Court, and the Court would quash it altogether. The Court then conferred. Their Lordships delivered judgment seriatim, ordering the rule .to be discharged, and the return to be amended. NVO shall give the Judgment fully in a SECOND EDITION. The line and on` of y esterda y states that on Fri day last or early on the following morning, three men, who were under sentence of transpt,:"tion, contrived to effect their escape from Aylesbury county goal. It appears that in the means got u the the inst a n c e they broke their cells, and by !hat ridge of the the r oo f o f the prison, when they passed down tiling near the Judges' rJorn ; and making their way ,along a wall 30 feet high, descended at the extremity thereof, a,` l escaped through an unfinished building. Rewards have been offered for their recapture. Yesterday morning a young woman made a deter- Mined attempt at self-destruction by suspending herielf with 'her garters from the bars of the cell in the Kentish Town sta tion-house, in which she had been locked up for some trifling offence. On being cut down, she evinced scarcely any signs of life, but was ultimately restored. Yesterday morning a shocking accident occurred to JarnesWootton, a lad fifteen years of age, footboyiin the service tof Mrs. Hennsworth, residing in the Alpha Cottages, Regent's Park. A bell-hanger was perforating the wall, for the pur pose of passing a wire through, when the lad placed his eye to -.ne hole, and the augur running into it destroyed the sight. Paulina Garcia has declined the offer made to her by the Directors of the Philharmonic for singing rt the ensu ing concert, although the terms offered were very liberal. 1 t is said that the next renewals on the leases from the S'ee of Cashel will amount to nearly 20,0001., which will Com e ;to the new Bishop of that diocese (Dr. Sandes), in the course , of a few months. CH Ait GE OF MURDERING .A POLICEMAN , — 'On the 18th of October last the body of John Barton, a con :stable of the K division of police, was found in Bromley lock, 'which is a brand; of the River Lea, and, as a matter of course, :an inquest was held to investigate the cause of death. On that /inq u i r y it was the general opinion of the Jury that the de e, lased had, while in a drowsy and sleepy state, walked into th elock, and they returned a verdict of " Found drowned." ()tying to the fact of there being a deep wound in the back part' of the head of the deceased, and the singular circum etaneo, of his cape being missing, and not afterwards found, a strong .suspicion rested on the minds of thos e in his division that h e kad not come by his death by accident ; but up to a few d a ys a t ,:o nothing could be learned to attach suspicion to any party . On Sunday morning last, however , a communi cation was ma t e to Mr. Inspector M'Cran that two brothers, named Eagle, had been heard to say that they knew something of the matter. They were accordingly apprehended, and brought before the Magistrates at Lambeth-street, yesterday. James Eagle, ono of the accused, stated that, having been in the habit of meeting a number of bad characters at a beer shop, he had heard one of them state that four men (whose flames he mentioned) had committed a robbery at Bromley, sand that one of them being seized by Barton, had flung him Ito the canal. Accused had not been present at the occur tenee himself. He Was remanded, and his brother was dis charged. The publication of Ttin SUN NEnspapEß commenced this day at 50 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1839. MARRIAGE OF HER MAJESTY The country will learn with delight that the most interesting part in the Speech from the Throne to both Houses of Parliament, and the country at large, will be the announcement of Her MAJESTY'S intended marriage. • The happy object of Queen VICTORIA'S choice is Prince ALBERT, son of the Reigning Duke of SASE COBURG, and cousin of Her MAJESTY. Mince ALBERT iS handsome, and about 22 years of age. He has resided for some time in this country, on a visit to his Royal Relatives. How soon the happy event is to take place, we are not prepared to say ; but our readers may depend upon the authenticity of our information. • In a supplementary chapter to a " Life of Lord ANsoN," by Sir JOHN BARROW, just published, the distinguished naval biographer states, that there has re cently been so much abuse of the Admiralty, and so many misrepresentations with regard to the state of our Navy compared with that of Foreign Powers, bandied about is party pamphlets, newspapers, and after-dinner speeches, that he deems it right, and even feels it a duty to disabuse the public, by showing that the oft-repeated charges of the neglected and reduced state of the British Navy are wholly unfounded in fact. To effect so desirable and laudable a purpose—one which merits and has our thanks, no matter what may be our convictions—Sir Jour , : BARROW has favoured the public with the annexed Return, showing the number of line-of-battle ships, frigates, and war-steamers, be longing to England, France, Russia, America, Egypt, Turkey, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Spam: ; Naples, and Sardinia at the commencement of the current year. The known integrity of the writer, and his ready access to all the means of information possessed by the Board of Admiralty, will silence those who, under other circumstances, might feel disposed to call the correctness of this Return in question. As The Sun is one of those " Newspapers" in which the con duct of the Admiralty, with respect to the state of our Navy, has been most severely censured (though certainly not for party purposes, as our readers well know), we owe it to the Administra tors of that department freely to acknowledge that we receive the Return now offered by their respected apologist as not more intended to disabuse the public mind, than worthy of public credit. But will it dis abuse public opinion with regard to the state of our Navy ? Will the people be delighted to learn, that R uss ia, who only a few years ago boasted of a fleet, consisting of a few frigates, badly manned, and wretchedly equipped, has at this moment twice as many vessels of war in commission as Great Britain ? Will they be in extacics at being told, on unquestion able authority, that while Russia has five ships of the first class, well manned, and provisioned for four months, afloat, Great Britain has four, some of them with half their complement of men, and none with stores for a cruise of three months—that while Russia has sixteen ships of the second class similarly manned and provi sioned, England has four—and that while of the third class Russia has nineteen ships afloat, Great Britain can only boast of twelve ? Is this a statement likely to be palatable to the people of England ? Of fri ` gates we have only nine altogether in commission, whereas Russia has twenty-four, though she has neither col on i es nor co mmerce to protect, It is notorious that several of our ships of the line in ordinf.?Ty, arc little better than Itikq, and that: it would co::t almost as much Lime and money to render them sea-worthy, as to build new vessels ; and yet even in point of number of ships of the first class, France will stand ahead of us in the course of a few months. Of this class of ships—by far the most important in any future contest for the empire of the seas—we have nineteen, of which three are building, whereas France has twenty-one, of which sixteen will be new, and of the very best construction, they being now up on the stocks, and building after the most highly api roved models. Her dockyards are crowded, and according to the ofFicial calculations of her Ali- 'lister of Marine, she is able to command the services of 90,000 " inscribed" seamen, as a set-off to which we have more ships than sailors, our dockyards are wildernesses, and in the event of a war our Ministers have no alternative to look forward to but the adoption of the barbarous, inhuman, and dis graceful system of impressment ! The Lords of the Admiralty may appeal in justification of their admi nistration to the number of small craft rotting in our docks as evidences of the strength of our fleet ; but allowing them all the advantage which a mere calcula tion of numbers without efficiency can give them, they dare not pretend that the relative strength of our Navy keeps pace with that of France and Russia. To evince the absurdity of such a supposition, it is only necessary to point to the number of first-rates building at the present moment by England and France, and the still more glaring discrepancy in the number of first rates actually commissioned by Great Britain and Russia. Sir JOHN BARROW'S supplementary chap ter, has confirmed, instead of dissipating, our impres sions of the inefficiency of our Navy ; and as the sub ject is of the utmost importance, we shall do all in our power, when opportunity serves, to place it fairly be fore the public. As to the indignation which ae writer expresses at the conduct of those Naval Officers who have dared to make the state of the service known to the public, instead of embodying their complaints in memorials to serve as waste paper at the Admiralty, we take leave to observe, that the Naval Officer, who, believing the honour of the flag of England to be in peril, would hesitate an instant to appeal directly to the patriotism of the nation, could not be consi dered other than a traitor to his country. And we will further observe, that knowing the strictness of naval discipline, and the pride which British Officers take in its careful observance in all cases whatsoever, the very fact of their appealing to the nation goes a great way to prove that they not only regard the case as urgent, but they are persuaded of the inutility of attempting longer to'rouse by memorials the dormant faculties of Lord IVIINTo and his dozing Colleagues. But as these Officers have evidently incurred, by their patriotic, well-timed appeals to the nation, the resent ment of " my Lords," it becomes the duty of the public to take care that they do not fall the victims of official vengeance. The Board of Admiralty is not wont to forgive Officers the heinous crime of exposing its inertness and incapacity. ENGLAND. SHIPS OF THE LINE, FIRST CLASS, OF 100 GUNS AND UP- %%ARDS. In Commission..

The remaining seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro gress of the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying on business in Edinburgh only one exists at present. There are only three Joint Stock Banks in London, with a paid up capital of 1,000,000/., the Shares of all of which are at a high Premium. It is the intention of the Direetors to allow interest on deposit accounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other details as t• the transaction of business with the Bank, will ho hereafter announced. _ _ _ As a suiTicient capital has already been subscribed to enable the Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings front an unrestricted application for shares, and t• induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, will net entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom paaied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or in part ; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appli. cation be rejected, and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the party in respect to the shares allotted to him. It is not in contemplation to gall up raore than 10/. per share for the next two years.

If you see on a Sunday a peculiarly gay phreton, the horses prancing over Blackheath, or dashing along the western road, carrying some well-clad, smiling, handsome women chatting with the elegant whip, who equally divides his attention between the horses and the ladies, the chances are about two to one that it belongs to some great attorney, who is driving his family out to dine with some professional brother. Steam-boats and steam-carriages, taverns, tea-gardens, and ale-houses more are crowded every fine Sabbath with l awyers ' c l er k s , who imitate t t a t e s i ts their aomtfiaasi solicitors, ci too , ar e g u op and forthn c , lae they toe alive i and yo sneferiect Saturdayeufrequently j n o t y i their y - own .ihold nt N er interests el ss consultations which set lawyers' clerks a n d l aw s t at i oners h ar d at work all day on Sunday. The solicitors a l so wr it e an abundance of letters to their correspondents in the country, which the correspondents are compelled to read and compelled to answer on the Sabbath. They take their own enjoyment, therefore, largely on Sun days, and they impose on the same day no inconsider able quantity of labour on classes of persons more nu merous, we apprehend, tha n th e ms e lv es . It i s qu it e i n character, however, with the dastardly hypocrisy which distinguishes this miscalled age of mental freedom, th a t the great body of pleasure-loving, money-se e ki ng solicitors of the metropolis, should memorialize th e Treasury against even transmitting letters thro ug h t h e London Post-office on Sunday, because any suc h innovation, " by throwing professional resp ons ibili ty on them on that day, would be a means of render ing the due observance of that day to them, their draw clerks, and dependents, most difficult, and of depriving them of the rest to which they are entitled on that day." This means that they then could not feast and ride about on Sundays without a small pecuniary loss, and they clothe their real meaning in the garb of religious language. It is quite naturalt hat the very Christian, or better very Jewish, Morning Herald, as will be sz2en by an article which we copy from it, should congratulate itself on having " taken an early and uncompromising part in opposing S a bb a th desecration in every form," while the fact i s , th a t that Journal desecrates every Sabbath by setting printers, &c., to work long before the Sab bath evening has begun. It and the solicitors are wor thy of each other, and both talk admirably of th e d ue obsovance while they take care neither religiously to ob serve the Sabbath,:nor allow their dependents, se rvan ts, and correspondents so to observe it. The Government, contrary to the wishes of the Tories, now depends in fact on popular support , and as the nation is hypocri tical, the G o vernment will continue to defer to the hypo crisy, and will impose immense privations on the whole empire, that the pleasure-loving g uzzlers of the metro polis may not be disturbed in th e i r d ue o b servance o f the old custom of taking pleasure on Sundays. Sir FREDERICK POLLOC K has, in reply to a case submitted to him, given th e f o ll ow i ng op i n i ons con cerning the power of the parson s over tombstones : " Ist. I am of opin ion that " the soil and freehold of the church and churchy ard belon g to the parson." 2 Cro. 387 ; Cm' parson vicar, or p erpetual curate, accor di ng as the cure of souls b elon g s to one or other of these ecclesiastical o persons. 2d.

FREDERICK POLLOCK. Temple, Jan. 16, 1839. We apprehend that the Bishop of LONDON, and other Prelates who have consecrated ceinetries, will look with horror on this opinion. They have clearly thrown the parsons overboard, for no person who can ill possibly a void it, whereafter, we presume, suffer the parsons to dictate the inscriptions on their family tomb stones, when they can lay their friends in a well ordered cemetery, and place over them inscriptions to suit their affections. To the proprietors of ce meteries the case of MARY WOOLFREY and the opinions which that has elicited concerning the latent power of the parsons, must have been Godsends. They ought to advertize Sir FREDERICK'S .opinion all through the country, and . recommend cemeteries. as a means of emancipating both the living arid the dead from the power of the Anglican Papal prief3:- hood. Be it also remembered, that the parsons, though they have claimed the fees, usually paid on bodies buried in their freeholds, on bodies buried in cemeteries cannot recover them. Such, at least, !,o far as it goes, was the decision of the Arches' Court a few days ago, in the notorious case of Dr. SPRY, the rich rector of Marylebone, and leading member of the Chapter of Canterbury, in sight of which is its own Ville of Dunkirk, without church or school, where THOM found his followers—and which said Dr. SPRY insisted on the parish paying him fees for deceased paupers he did not bury ; which parson-like claim the parish resisted, and which was of such a nature, that even an Ecclesiastical Court would not entertain it. These several matters being put on the side of cemeteries, will no doubt raise the price of Cemetery Shares in the market, and diminish the value of the parsons' freehold. The whole of the Paris Journals of Monday have been received. We copy from Galignani's Messen ger of that date, the subjoined account of the presen tation of the Address of the Chamber of Deputies to the KING, with his Majesty's answer : Yesterday evening, at half-past eight, the Grand Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, headed by the President, pre sented to tha King the Address in reply to his Majesty's speech from the Throne, on the opening of the Session. The Duke of Orleans stood on the right of the throne, and the Dukes of Nemours and Aumale on the left. About one hun dred Members of the Chamber accompanied the Grand Dent' Cation, and amongst them were Messrs. Guizot, Odillon Bar rot, Duchatel, &c. M. Dapin read the Address as amended, and finally adopted, by the Chamber; and his Majesty, who W 73 much moved at the reading of the paragraph relating to the Duchess Alexander of Wurtemberg, said— " Gentlemen,—l receive with lively satisfaction the Ad dress you have brought me, in the name of the Chamber of Deputies. I was deeply impressed by tire impulse which led the Chamber to come to me in a body when it became in formed of the blow which has wounded me in my dearest affections. Too much overcome then to be able to express to you, as I could have wished, the extent to which my family and myself were touched with your participation in our grief, I now fin - a a real consolation in telling you so, and in offering you my thanks. " I also experience, in a high degree, the desire of express ing to you bow much I appreciate the assurances you renew to me. Never was union between the powers of the State so ne cessary to insure to each of them the faculty of accomplishing the great objects of their institution. It is by this union—it is with your concurrence—that we shall succeed in protecting from all attacks those advantages which France now enjoys, and in scouring for her a duration of that peace and repose which ever form the basis of- public prosperity. " In joining in your congratulations on the new glory which our brave navy has added to the French flag on the ramparts of San Juan d'Ulloa, I thank you for partaking in the happi ness which I always enjoy whenever my sons are able to acquit themselves of the debt they owe to their country, by fighting for France. " I am much touched with the new testimonies of affection and confidence with which the Chamber surrounds the cradle of my grandson. It is most agreeable to me to answer this by manifesting, in my turn, all the affection I bear towards the Chamber, and how sensible I am of the good will it expresses towards me and my family." Nothing was decided up to Monday at noon rela tive to the change or modification of the Cabinet. Marshal SOULT had been repeatedly sent for by the KING, with whom he had remained several hours in consultation, but the result bad not transpired. The settlement of the Belgian question, begins to excite serious alarm in France. It is feared that be fore the Protecting Powers can interfere hostilities will break out between the armies of WILLIAM and LEO POLD. Military prepara lions, o❑ a most extensive scale, are carried on by both sides. Holland has already 17,000 infantry, three regiments of cavalry, and eight batteries of artillery in the field—a force not superior in numbers to the armament of Belgium, whose atti tude is not less menacing. All the members of the Royal Family will be pre-- sent at the interment of the remains of the Duchess of WURTEMBERG at Dreux. The Queen of England has written a very affecting letter to the Queen of the French, on occasion of the premature death of the Princess Mary., BOURSE-PARIS, MONDAY, JAN. 21.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. - - - - - LI VERPCOL COTTON-MARKET, TUESDA It% —The demanTrlr Cotton to-day has been to a fair extent. The sales from 5,000 to 6,000 bags, a portion of which have been taken by specula ton at full prices. Arrivals this mornin , :—French mail; ship letters from St. Kitt's, Trinidad, lioneuras, and Demerara ; Calcutta, Aug. 8. The Correspondent of the Journal of Bayonne, the Plzare, writes that the political chief of Logrono bas addressed his report to the Governnient, which states that the faction of Navarre had received from France, in November and Decem ber last, 1,200 horses, 50 pieces of cannon, and two mounted batteries. We publish this to the public, to prove in what manner certain agents of the Government of Madrid impose upon the credulity of the people. The Emancipator of the 19th publishes the following letter from Frankfort, of the 15th inst. : " Our diplomacy, our 'Change, and our Austrian and Rus sian garrison, as well as the patriotic population, are in great emotion. From all quarters arrive manifestations against the politics of the Nurth—from Hanover, where the Opposition is becoming menacing ; from Cologne and Posen, where peti tions arc signing to be presented to the King, in defiance of the police; from Munich and Wm tzburg, whore they take a lively interest for the Belgians ; and above all from Darmstadt, where the Chamber of Representatives have solemnly prayed of the Grand Duke and his Government to interfere with the Diet, to cause to be rejected the proposition of Holland." Advices have been received from Monte Video to the 14th ult. ; they state that a French frigate had arrived on the 7th from Brest and Rio Janerio, bringing troops and a Charge d'Affaires for Buenos Ayres. It is stated that this person, as far as his intentions could be ascertained, determined to pursue the same policy as the ex-Consul had done, and it was believed there that war must take place. The news received of the rebel chief, Fructuoso Rivera, having entered Monte Video and assumed the Presidentship of the Oriental State is fully con firmed. Everything continued tranquil in the capital. Owing to the wind shifting to the north-east, we have very few arrivals this morning, consequently no news of impor tance to communicate, with the exception that we hear, and it is generally credited in the City, that the modification of the twenty-four articles of the Dutch and Belgium Treaty signed by the four Powers, was also signed last night by the French Ambassador, General Sebastiani ; but up to the present hour it only improved the Dutch Stocks per cent.; therefore, in a few days we look for some important events from Belgium ; they must either agree to the conditions or fight, but we appre hend that their resistance will be of a short duration.
