We understand it is from the pen of Mr. Planche, and from the amusing nature of the incidents, the smartness of the dialogue, and the excellence of the acting of all con cerned, the name may be considered as prophetic • for we have no doubt but that thi s excee di ng ly clever little drama will bring "grist to the mill" for some time to come. The scene is laid in the neighbour hood of Poitiers, in the early part of the reign of Louis XV., when Cardinal Fleury was Minister. The mill is occupied by Francine (Madame Vestris), the widow of an officer in the army. Her charms attract the notice of Merluchet (Mr. Strickland), the Vidame of Poitiers ; but of course the awkward attentions of the old Vidame are jestingly repulsed, and the door of the mill is shut in his face. The Marquis de Richeville (Mr. Charles Mathews), on whose estate the mill is situated, is a nobleman of about forty-five years of age, exceedingly rich, but of such penurious habits, that he denies himself \ all the luxuries, and many of the necessaries of life. He has a nephew, Thierry Dumont (Mr. Howe), the son of his sister, who having formed a mesalliance in marrying Thierry's father, has been discarded by the Marquis. Thierry comes to the neighbourhood, for the purpose, if possible, of procuring an interview with his uncle, and meets in Francine with an old friend. While loitering about in the neighbourhood of the mill the ' Vidame enters, and Thierry recog nises in him a former acquaintance, a ci-devant captain of musqueteers. The loquacious Vidame intirms Thierry of a: plot which he has laid, in conjunction with an antiquated maiden consin, Mademoiselle de Merluchet (Mrs. W. Clifford) to secure the Marquis as a husband for the lady. The unfortunate Marquis had been invited to the chateau of the lady--had been directed by the Vidame purposely into the lady's chamber—had been followed by the lady, who, having locked -the door, commenced screaming violently, when the-attendants entering, discovered the unhappy Marquis- in - her apartment. Thierry seeks Francine to endeavour to devise some plan to frustrate the schemes of the Vidame, while the latter, accompa nied by his cousin, goes to the chateau of the Marquis, to follow out their plan. At the chateau they find the Prince de Conte (Mr. H. Holl), who had been deported by the Government to inquire into the character of the Marquis, who had been seeking office and honour from the Court. The Prince tells the Marquis that ho cannot recommend the Government to grant the application of ,a man of such a miserable miserly character. Before the Marquis can recover from his astonishment at this announcement,, the Vidame and his cousih enter and demand justice, and the Prince directs that the Marquis shall marry the lady instantly, unless he can show good and sufficient cause for refusing to do so. The Marquis is extricated from this difficulty by the appearance of Francine, who, dressed in a riding-habit, enters, and, to the astonishment of every one, announces herself as the Marchioness de Richeville ; explains that she has been secretly married to the Marquis for some time, during which she has resided at a splendid chateatt of the Marquis's in Nor mandy, and that she is determined to have everything in the same style at Richeville. The Marquis, as tonished, dares not to contradict her, having a wholesome dread of the Merluchet affiance, shonld the truth be discovered. She turns the Vidame and:his sister out of the house—orders a feast to be pre pared for the Prince—has a bullock roasted whole, and given away to the peasants in the park—sends for Thierry, and forces the Marquis .not only to receive him, but to purchase him a regiment. The Prince is enchanted with her, and for her sake grants the Marquis the favours which he had requested, while, in return, he requests her to grant him an interview in the pavilion in the garden. The Vidame, in the meantime having disco vered who she is,retums to the chateau,and secretes himself in the garden just in time to hear her inform the Prince that she is not the wife of the Marquis, and that her reason for so representing herself was to save the Marquis from Merluchet, and to re-unite him to his nephew. The Marquis, who has been brought by Thierry to the spot, is so fascinated with her, that he comes forward and offers her his hand, which she con sents shown thata c c accept a i t s s o o o m m e p f l e u t t e u l r y e w t i m e a e n , e dwhenfr ofrom be s h shall s h e a r s i • y e habits. The piece was admirably acted. Madame Vestris was quite herselt as Francine. Her cool assumption of superiority over " those persons," as she invariably denominated the Vidame and his cousin, was most diverting ; and her manner of alternately coaxing and threatening the un fortunate Marquis was excellent. Madame Vestris is fitted to a nicety in this part, and she acts it to admira tion. Charles Mathews was always a clever actor, his Marquis de Richeville proves him an accomplished artist. His representation of the staid, prematurely-old miser was perfect ; there was no buoyancy, no bustle, no effervescence—he was the penurious old man ; but neither was there anything vulgar, although the part offered many temptations for the production of farcical effect. Mr. Charles Mathews, however, never once gave way to this—he ne ver forgot for a single in stant that although -a miser he was also a nobleman. There was a polish and a good-breeding about his - very penury, that rendered it impossible to forget for an instant that he was one of the ancient noblesse. As a representation of character, his Marquis de Richeville is perhaps the most artistical thing that Mr. Charles Mathews has yet done. Strickland, as the Vidame, was exceedingly humoronii, - and Mrs. W. Clifford's old maid was superb. Mr. Clark, who always makes so much of a little part, was admirable as the page to the Marquis. His look at being told by Francine that his wages should be doubled was inimitable. Madame Vestris was called for at the fall of the curtain, and led forward by Mr. Charles Mathews, who announced the piece for repeti tion every evening amidst the unanimous applause of the audience. The house was very well attended. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• QUEEN'S-SQUARE. Two well-dressed youths, John Cannon, a baker, and John Holder, described by his opponent as " a sort of a kind of a co al-merchant's clerk," a p eare d b e f ore th e magistrate on an a ssault summons. The difference between the parties had arisen from the circumstance of complainant Cannon having favoured a young lady of soft seventeen with his polite attentions, and being apprehensive that defendant, who lodged in the same house with the tender object of his regard, was endeavouring to ingratiate himself into her favour, or, in common parlance, to " cut him out." The degree of encouragement, if any, given by the lady did n o t appear, but the suitors were at daggers drawn with ea c h ot h er, an d defendant having called the other young gentleman a puppy, the complainant penned the following, in the height of his indignation, and duly for " Sir,—To say that I for warded it per post : foolish and childish conduct would be t o t e ll a most flagrant falsehood ; for indeed I do consider y ou capa ble of any mean and silly act whatsoever; yet I beg j us t to inform you , S ir, that if am surprised at your ve r y you do not immediately relinquish your silly schoolboy's actions of whistling after me when I am about my daily employment, I shall first write and acquaint Mr. T. of your conduct, and should that prove ineffectual, I shall then pro ceed to chastise you, perhaps in the same manner as angry mothers punish their naughty children. Now if you've the sense of a man, you will never insult me again. In short, you will know how to act towards yours, &c., N " JOH CANNON." Complainant was just luxuriating in the idea that his letter had duly impressed defendant with the idea of his superiori b ty, when the latter came up to him in the street, and putting is fist in his face challenged him to f i g ht. Complainant was not disposed to disgrace himself by such an un g entlemanly exhi bition, and came to this office for a warrant. Defendant said he could not see w hat compl a inant had to be jealous of; or to come there about. First, he "wanted to tight, and then he did not, after sending him such a very un gentlemanly letter. Mr. 13unitELL pronounced it a schoolboy quarrel, and dis missed the complaint. CLERKENWELL. Wm. Green was charged on suspicion of breaking into the premises of Mr. Evans, a boot and shoe-maker, residing in Paddington-street, Marylebone, and stealing therefrom pro perty to a considerable amount; also on suspicion of being concerned with Wm. Thomp and Anne Thompson, who stand committed, in several other robberies. Mr. Wolff appeared for the prisoner Green. The evidence adduced went: to prove that Green had dis posed of a pair of the boots stolen from Mr. Evans, in whose employment the prisoner was up to the day preceding that on which the burglary was committed. In the house of Thompson were founda large number of pawnbrokers' du plicates, relating to articles pledged by Green, and several of which were identified as having been stolen from a furnished, but unoccupied, house inStoke Newington.—Remanded. OMNDIEfi RACING.--Joseph Parfait and John Cray, drivers of the Metropolitan stage carriages 3,292 and 10 were charged with furious driving by Doctor Smith, a gentleman residing in Venflam-buildings, Gray's Inn. It appeared from the e vidence of the Doctor, and of other witnesses, that on Satu rda y last the p risoners dro ve their respective omnibusses at full g allo p down th e narrow part of Gray's Inn-lane. The D octor was drivin g towards th em in a pbhyaoentoeno,fwtliiiich omnibusese was sonsly s aved from being sma s h e d t o atoms e s coming in contact with a donkey cart, which was driven in upon the pavement. Cray was, however, much mere culpable, as he began the race. Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a mercy they had not killed somebody in that crowded and narrow thoroughfare. Ho would send Cray to prison for three weeks, and hard labour ; and Parfait should pay a line of 21. Sarah Evans was charged with carrying and conveying thirty-six packages of foreign manufactured tobacco, value 4/. 3s. Bd., which had be en unshi pp ed wit hout paying the regular Custom fees The penalty was laid at 1001. The prisoner is well kn own to the Excis e. On the pre vious evening she was met in Gray's Inn - road, by Davis and Patten, officers of the Cu stom-house, carr ying the tobacco , and accompanied by a man, who ran away whenLhe saw the officers. They took her into custody , and sh 6 said - a man had given her the tobacco to carry. • Mr. Cornell, Queen's Appraiser, proved that the tobacco, which had come from Berlin, had not paid the Customs fees. The prisoner was fined 100 L, Mr. GREENWOOD telling her she was at liberty to appeal to the Board of Excise, who would probably mitigate the penalty if she could bring for ward any extenuating circumstances.

The first two were backed freely at the odds quoted above. The Buck recovering his lead, and his party apparently as fond as ever. Loadstone was intro duced at 30 to 1, and, on a moderate outlay, improved five points. A disposition to lay against Orlando, and a con sequent decline, is the only other noticeable movement.

NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—" ARNICA MONTANA."—A paper of considerable importance to sufferers from nervous deaf ness was read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin, Craven street, Strand (physician to the Free Dispensary for Asthma), on the efficacy of " arnica montana " in the cure of this distressing affection. The lecturer observed that deaf ness was more prevalent than was generally imagined—that there was a marked difference between nervous derangement and structural changes, and that he believed the frequent failure of aurists in the cure of deafness arose from a total inattention to the difference between disorders arising from either mere torpor or increased irritability, and those to which were superadded structural alterations. He next called attention to the natural history, chemical constitution, and medical properties of the arnica, observing that, having found it highly beneficial in several distressing nervous af fections, he tried it in nervous deafness, and had much plea sure in alluding to the cases of several highly respectable per sons completely relieved by its use. Dr. Cronin then com mented on the mutilation practised by some aurists of re moving the uvula and glands of the throat, and remarked -that operations of this kind tended, from the shock produced on the nervous sytern, to increase, rather than diminish, the disease, and concluded some highly-interesting observations, by stating that the College of Physicians omitt ed in their last " - Pharmacopoeia" this valuable remedy, but hoped it would be restored in their next. —Standard An abstract of the ecture will shortly be published by Mr. Cronin. ErrEcrs or RAILWAYS.—Within the last month, the two principal postmasters of Rochester have appealed against the amount at which their premises were rated to the poor, stating, as the ground of their claim, that, in conse quence of the decrease of traffic on the road to Dover, the value of their property is materially depreciated. On the last application of this nature, the guardians said that pro perty of all kind in that city was materially lowered in value, and the board of guardians for the parish of St. Nicholas, Rochester, have consequently determined to reduce the valua tion of the whole parish. It is understood that the proposed reduction will amount to one-fifth of the whole. Lord Granville's health has much improved during his sojourn at Kemp Town, where his Lordship entertained Lord and Lady Rivers and a select party at dinner on Thesday. John Murray, Albemarle-street.

SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a wen plete History of the Peerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informs lion of its People. The WEEKLY CHRONICLE Is now printed on superior paper of the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of which it gives a much faller and far more satisfactory summary than, any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted; for while the Weekly Chronicle will be found to give due attention to literature, science, the fine arts, the drama, and even to sporting intelli gence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the general reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are allowed to supersede the proper objects of a newspaper—those sub jects of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate of extended suffrage—of the ballot—of a shortened duration of Par liament—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, and of other measure , ' of jastice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and abroad—of a repeal of the odio ; income-tax, with a reduction of the expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone; whilst its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was, among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends--both which facts were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they were eommunicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle also announced recently the intended recal of Ea rl de Grey—a state ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from, and which now passes unchallenged as a fact. Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and, to effect this, every department of the paper has been serupulously revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one preferred, and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be prevented 1. An edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces en the Sa turday, marked " Country Edition." 2.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Publtc Opfttfon. " Who rams may read." ron.r.zaw. The procession of the Bceuf Gras was repeated on Tuesday, at Paris, and the weather being very fine, although rather cold, the Boulevards were crowded with persons assembled to see the lines of carriages, and in expectation of beholding groups of maskers. As far as numbers went they were not disappointed as to the carriages, but the maskers were by no means numerous. Those who did make a display were evi dently for the most part composed of the working classes. The weather on Wednesday was excessively cold, with a fall of snow. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the produce and con sumption of domestic sugar down to the close of January, 1844. On the Ist of February there were still 324 manu factories in activity, which, as compared with the number existing on the same day in 1843, shows a decrease of 58. The quantity manufactured during the whole season was 20,186,622 kilogrammes, or 2,279,259 less than in 1843, and that sold for consumption 15,952,102. The duties levied on that article in January last amounted to 1,125,605 f. The Chambers of Commerce have received a circular offi cial dispatch from the Minister of Commerce to the following purport :—Merchant vessels bound for ports in the Mediter ranean, on being obliged to put into Gibraltar from stress of weather, have been used, in order to escape the payment of anchorage-dues, to take a mooring at a distance from the bat teries, in unsafe ground, and at the same time do not gain their object of saving the exacted payment. French ships driven to take shelter in the Bay of Gibraltar are therefore recommended to wait for favourable weather, by coming to an anchor at the west of Mala Point, at the mouth of the small river the Majorgo, to the south of the town of St. Roch, where they will be in Spanish water, better sheltered, and very nearly free from all dues. ' The Ai gsburg Gazette of the 17th states, on the authority of a letter from Naples, that some regret is alreacly mani fested by the Neapolitan Court at having, under theinfluence of deceptive promises, so promptly recognised the Spanish Government. It is again stated that the Courts of -Sardinia and Rome persist in their refusal to follow the example of that of Naples. - The accident which -has happened to M. Gay Lussac will not be attended with any serious consequences. His sur geons have made a most favourable report on the subject to s friends and acquaintances. A subscription has been set on foot to defray the expense of a marble statue of Rossini, which is to be placedin the saloon of the Academie Royal de Musique. Madame Persiani, Correlli, and Fornasari, will leave Paris for -London at the end of this , month. Fornasari continues seriously indisposed. Rubini, on quitting St. Petersburgh, proceeds to Moscow, after which he will visit London, where the prinzo tenure is expected to arrive during the ensuing season. _ The Weser Gazette states, from Copenhagen, that the Emperor and Empress of Russia are expected to arrive in that city early in the spring. LAW AND POLIO*. In the case of Fraser r. Bagley, which occupied the Court of Common Pleas for three days, the jury, at ten o'clock at night, after consulting for three minutes, returned a verdict for the defendant. At Marylebone Police-court, James Gatsell, an oft-con victed member of the swell mob, was brought up for re examination, charged on suspicion of having stolen a purse, containing a 5/. note, from the person of Mrs. Allen, wife of the clerk of the peace for Westminster. The case was not fully made out, but the prisoner was, as a suspected person loitering about with the view of committing a felony, com mitted for two months. William Bennett, a man of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, at Union Hall, charged with committing various robberies. It was his practice to drive up to the door of a tradesman's shop, enter, and order a variety of goods which he desired to be placed in his vehicle, and drove off with speed. Five distinct charges having been preferred, the prisoner was committed. At the same Court, John Stevens, the silversmith, charged o w f itp fr. ob F t o a l in ka in rd g , m a o p n a e w y t nb o ro t k h e e r t:m by oun ine t a o n f s b o e f tw sp e uri en o 7 u o s L in an go d tB Bo/. of silver, the particulars of whose examination have already appeared, was again brought up, and the depositions having been taken, he was committed. Sarah Evans was charged at Clerkenwell with having in her possession 81bs. of foreign tobacco, &c., which subjected her to a penalty of 1001. The prisoner said the tobacco was handed to her by a man to carry. She did not know him. Mr. Greenwood convicted her in the penalty of 1001., and told her if there were any mitigating circumstances attached to her case, she might petition the Commissioners of Customs. At Lambeth-street, Norman Proctor, a smartly-dressed young man was charged with defrauding a poor man named 'Wright out of a horse, cart, and harness, of the value of 12/. It appeared that on the sth of July last, the prisoner called upon the prosecutor and said his master, who was a lime merchant, wanted such a horse and cart as he had for sale, and took him to a person whom he represented to be his mas ter, but who turned out to be his brother. The person pur chased the property, and prevailed upon the poor man to take a bill for the amount, payable in seven days. The bill was presented, when the person in the house said the drawer of the bill had merely taken lodgings there on that morning, that he left upon the same day, and that he knew nothing whatever of him. The prisoner was remanded, Mr. Norton remarking that he belonged to a gang who had obtained pro perty from very poor persons, amounting to near 5001.

THE SECRET PASSION. BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE YOUTH OF SHAKSPEARE," " SHAKSPEARE AND HIS FRIENDS," &c.—" The Shakspeare novels are now generally known and justly appreciated. ' The Seceet Passion' (just published) is the third and last. Shakspeare being himself the hero of it as of the two others, and its design and object being identifical with those of its predecessors, namely, to furnish a living picture of the • Life and Times' of our great bard. We must say of it generally that it is fully equal in spirit, vivacity, and truth of painting to its popular prede cessors, and that it is equally rich in incident, action, and character. The Shakspeare novels are a valuable addition to our literature. They place before us not only Shakspeare the poet, but Shakspeare the man—Shakspeare in his ' habit as he lived'—Shakspeare the bov, the youth, the son, the brother, the lover; the father, die friend—Shakspeare the actor and the companion of actors—Shakspeare the manager, the playwright, the wit, the courtier, the man of the world —and, finally, Shakspeare in his beloved retirement on the banks of his dear Avon."—Naval and Military Gazette. ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK.—Yesterday an ad journed meeting was held in the Vestry-room, Roger Cunliffe, Esq., in the chair, for the purpose of further considering Mr. Alderman Gibbs's accounts. Messrs.

Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. This valuable IeLTCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DECAYED TEETH, however large the cavity, is far superior to anything ever before used, as It is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and is a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth fbr many years, rendering extrac tion unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and ren ders them again useful la mastication. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Bernore-street, Oxford-street. Price 4e. 6d.; and will be sent free by post to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs or wires ; and has introduced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, whit will be found very superior to all others, as they will never decicy, nor become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest ob server. Thin method does not require the extraction of any teeth or recta, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much lower than most Dentists.

Ferrand and Mr. Cobden," and signed " One that wishes the cat to be let out of the bag," which appeared in your paper of the 19th, I will, with your leave, say a word or two on, if it be only to assert,—first, that I agree with him in toto ; and that, twelve years ago, I published a short letter on the same subject, which I send you herewith, hoping you will allow it to be inserted in your columns. At the time it was so well thought of, that a gen tleman begged of me to allow him to print it on; which he did by thousands. Allow me to say I am, however, neither " Tory nor Con, servative," like your correspondent, but exactly the con trary ; nevertheless, " will yield to no man (not even him) in an honest and hearty desire," to use his own words, " to pro mote the happiness of the poor, the farmers, and (I may add, too) the manufacturers." I am also persuaded, like him, that we should never have heard of either " League" or " Anti- League," and Mr. Cobden might have remained quiet in his mill, printing off daffy-down-dillys and dandelions on his calicos, had that ruinous blunder, that deed of plunder, called " Peel's Bill," never been passed and become the law of the land. But Sir Robert is your " Conservative's pilot that is to weather the storm," his " serpent in the wilder ness," which he may gaze on, but without healing him ! Therefore, to save him, or themselves, they must shake him off; for there is but one road to safety—they must go back by the way they came, to secure themselves from bank ruptcy and ruin. Look at the Baronet all this while ; his fortune in the Funds stands at its nominal amount, while ours is dropping into annihilation. The lower we go, the higher he stands;- but I suppose we must " grin and abide it"—all I know is this, that " the Bill" has ruined the masses who are topay the taxes. Not, however, to be too prolix,'l here give you the letter I promised above, and am your obedient servant, Wolseley, Feb. 21, 1844. C. WOLSELEI. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL. "Sir,—l have sent the following letter to the Editor of the Morning Herald : " Sir,—l have just been reading an article in the Birming ham Journal of the 31st of December' last, takenfrom your paper, on the subject of the Currency, and the folly and ini quity of what is called Peel's Bil V The folly and wicked ness of which, no man with two grains of common sense can be ignorant. When that famous Bill passed into a law, I bad a mortgage on my estate of 4,300/., the interest of which, at 5 per cent., had been paid for years, at the expense of about 360 bushels of wheat. How many bushels, I pray, was I obliged to furnish, at the bare thoughts alone of 'that Bill coming into effect, two years even before it became a law, when wheat dropped to ss. 6d., and that we were within 48 hours of Barter?' Why, Sir, if my calculation is correct, not far short of eight hundred. If the Bill' had had hocus pocus enough in it to hive made my acres grow as large again as they had been, and that double the quantity of 'corn would . have • grown on them, I should have had not much reason for complaining, but un fortunately they remained •in state quo—or 4,840 square yards, and so they remain to this day. But, Sir, to come to the object of my letter, that of 'corroborating the statement of your correspondent as to the assertion of the late Sir Ro bert Peel, the father of our eminent statesman, Nebo by-the by, it is said, when young offered him at the shrine of his country r as a curse or a blesein'g, I shall lesiVe those to say who are now perishing with hunger liitthe - acts of his Minis terial blunders. I. know a 'gentleman, to, ,whom his father said, after having deplored the obitinacy 'of his son—' Why, Sir, he is going to add 500,0001. to my property by the Bill in question 1' - No wonder then, that having built a ' castle in the air,' he is now building a snore' substantial one at Drayton Manor, near Tamworth ! !--I. am, Sir, your obe dient servant, " C: WOLSELEY.

The party soon found two wolves, a male and female ; the former escaped, but the female advanced towards the King, who, when she was at the distance of 60 paces, fired and wounded her, and with a second shot killed the animal. This wolf, which is of extraordinary size, has been sent to the palace of Lacken, where it arrived yesterday. The Queen ordered it to be sent to Brussels to be stuffed. Our readers have not forgotten the unfortunate result which mauy of our manufacturers experleuced from the expedition of the ship, the Count of Flanders. This vessel left Ostend with a cargo of Belgian manufactures, worth .500,000 francs, which was confided to the care of M. Commaille, our Consul at the Cape of Good Hope, who was to sell them by touching at several transatlantic ports. The vessel sailed in October, 1842, but encountered a violent storm in the Channel, and was forced to put into. Ramsgate. Disputes ensued.. The owners of the goods gave some particulars of the arrange ment made by M. Commaille with the' shipowners, which they disapproved, and a law .suit was the consequence. We now find the following notice in the journali of Bruges and Ostend : " This morning at ene o'clock, the Belgian brig, the Count of Flanders, arrived here, after having stopped sixteen months in the port of Ramsgate. The vessel will proceed to Bruges when the goods will be deposited in the entrepOt." The Weser journal says:—" It is generally believed to be decided that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will visit Copenhagen in the course of the next summer, and that they will perhaps be accompanied by some other members of the Imperial family." TURKEY (no date).—The Turkish Government has estab lished a mail for the conveyance of letters between Constan tinople and Bagdad, which leaves Constantinople once a fortnight, and reaches its destination in 19 or 21 days.

DUBLIN, FEB. 21.—The Government still continue their arrangements for the military occupation of the country. The Nenagh Guardian of this day thus reports progress from that quarter : " Two cart-loads of ordnance stores, containing five hun dred stand of arms, arrived here under a strong escort of the 16th, from Roscrea, on Saturday last, and proceeded en route on Monday morning, under the escort of an officer's party of the 52d, for Killaloe. On Tuesday there arrived from Killaloe, under the escort of the 52d, a quantity of ammuni tion, to the amount of 20,000 rounds of ball cartridge, for the use of the troops in this depot, and a like quantity to pro ceed to Templemore and Roscrea." The war-steamer Tartarus sailed from Dingle, county of Kerry, on Sunday last, on a cruise along that coast. The war-steamer Stromboli is still stationed in Ventry harbour, on the Kerry coast. The chief occupation of the officers of both steamers has been the agreeable one of attending balls and pleasure parties amongst the gentry residing in the vi cinity. REPRESENTATION OF LONDONDERRY. Captain Robert Peel Dawson and the other candidates for he representation of this county have retired, in consequence of the determination of the family of Sir Robert Bateson to start the second son of that Baronet, Lieutenant Bateson, of the 13th Light Dragoons, as successor to his brother, the late Member, who died of malignant fever at Jerusalem, on last Christmas-eve. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Titurtsrmv.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert promenaded, this afternoon, in the grounds adjoining the Castle. The unfavourable state oftheweather, during the day, has prevented the Prince of Wales and the Princesses from being taken their accustomed daily airings in the park. Baron Brunnow, the Russian Minister, transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Commission for Metropolitan Improvements had a meeting on Wednesday, at the office in Whitehall-place. The Earl of Aberdeen and Sir James Graham had inter views with Sir Robert Peel yesterday. Sir George Clark, and other official gentlemen, also visited the Right Hon. Baronet yesterday. Mr. Wickham, Commissioner of Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day, at his official residence in Downing-street. Major Jebb transacted business yesterday, at the Home• office. RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZI. perceive in the Evening Edition of last night's Sun a paragraph headed " The price of Bread , " in which it is stated that the bakers rose the bread yesterday to NA, and some of the West-end bakers even to 10d. "per loaf." Allow me, Sir, to contradict this false statement, for the highest price] of bread is but 94., and the greater part of the trade charge only 84d. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A FULL PRICE BAKER, Feb. 22. and Subscriber to The Sun. (A Correspondent in stating what he considers a fact, should always give his name, for communications like this, made on anonymous authority, lose half their value. Our Correspondent on referring to other journals will find that The Sun was not singular in making the announcement re ferred to.) REFORM IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.-At 8. meeting of medical men, held on Wednesday night at the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand, at which Mr. Wakley, M.P., Dr. Lynch, Mr. Cooper, and other gentlemen, were present, an address was adopted, setting forth, in very pointed and intelligible terms, the indignation of a portion of the medical profession at the late Charter to the College of Sur geons, and the measures of medical reform propounded by the Government. Mr. Wakley addressed the meeting, among other gentlemen, and congratulated them on the appearance of unanimity presented by their present pro ceedings. For twenty years that he had been writing against abuses under which the profession laboured, he had always had to contend against the want of concentration and united action exhibited by medical men. lie promised them, now that they seemed determined to persevere, all the aid he could give them in Parliament; and it would be their own fault if they did not let Parliament know what it was they wanted.—(Cheers.) The address was approved of by the meeting, and it was agreed that it should be submitted for adoption to an aggregate meeting of the profession, to be called next month. A Yourfla GIANT.--Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Archduke Charles, White Hart street, Kennington-lane, as to the death of John Newcomb, aged 13. The deceased was the son of Newcomb, one of the oldest officers at Union-hall. Upon the jury going to view the body they were perfectly astonished at the appearance. The boy, though so young, weighed about 14 stone, and his height was five feet four. The circumference of his chest was 38 inches, and he dared not go out because he was so annoyed by the boys in the neighbourhood. The Coroner and jury upon their return said they had never witnessed such a sight before. It appeared by the evidence of the mother of tbe de ceased, that he had from his birth been affected with some disease o the chest. On Saturday he was very ill and went to bed. On Sunday his mother was ab out g etting fresh sheets for his bed, when he suddenly turned over, and then was found dead. After a good deal of evidence, the Jury re turned a verdict of " Natural death." 0 S atu r da y LONGEVITY AND PEDESTRIANISIC---- n Mr. William Eaton, travelling packman, d ied at Brechin,.
