(Frtiiii the Lincoln let'eurp.) On Thursday night, the 9th instant, a daring bur plary was bompiitted by five men in the dwelling-house 6f the Eby. G. Poeiiin, situate at the ehd of alastoti-iane l in Rutland, about a quarter of a mile from the village. It seems that the Rev. Gentleman, who is unmar ried and of retired and rather eccentric habits, resided alone in a house In a lehely situation, a short distance from the turnpike-road, between Stamford and Up ' pizigham. lie himself performed all the domestic offices, with the exception of such as he left for a charwoman, who attended him once a week. On the night in question he retired to his bed-room (which is on the ground floor), having previously fastened the doors, and placed a light by his bed-side. After some time, he was awakened by a noise, which he describes as being " as if the house was coming about his ears." The window and the frame of his apart ment were de:nolished, the shutters flew open, and in an instant a man wearing a black mask jumped in, and secured him in bed. Two tall fellows, also in masks, promptly followed; and with dreadful impre cations they swore they would murder him if he made the least alarm or resistance. The bed clothes were then pulled over his face, and the man who first en tered held him do wn in the bed, whilst the other two ransacked the house. A fourth man stood outside the window, and repeatedly called out to know if all was right ; and a fifth, it is supposed, kept watch at the gate near the turnpike-road, from the footmarks traced by the police on the following morning. The thieves lighted a candle from Mr. Pochin's rushlight, and pro ceeded to break open the various drawers, and almost every lock in the house. On finding a pocket-book and examining the contents, they expressed themselves dissatisfied with the small amount of cash in it (about 1151.), and demanded of the Rev. Gentleman where he had deposited a thousand pounds, which they said they knew he had received a few days before. He denied having any such money in the house, and begged to be allowed to get up to show them where the property was. He was answered by the fellow who held him down, " Lie still, sir, or I'll cut your throat, you old villain." In the same pocket book were several notes of hand, which the robbers, on discovering that they were of no value to them, threw on the floor. They next entered the parlour, and there broke open a sideboard, and untied and examined several parcels containing deeds and securities, which they threw about in all directions ; here, however, they discovered some gold, and also Mr. Pochin's silver plate, which they took away. They returned into Mr. Pochin's room, and asked for his gold watch and appendages ; and on receiving an answer that he had only a silver watch, they exclaimed, "We won't have that." Having completed their work of plunder, they helped themselves to some brandy, and then proceeded to tie the Rev. Gentleman's legs and wrists with two pieces of rope ; and on taking their departure, they swore that if he stirred hand or foot, or gave the least alarm, they would return and murder him, and burn down the house. As they were getting out of the window, Mr. Pochin said, " Are you going to leave me here, you villains, to be starved to death 1" Upon which one of them answered, " o, sir, we will make you up another bed in another room with pleasure." On this they decamped ; and on Mr. Pochin's finding himself alone, he commenced gnawing the cord which secured his wrists with his teeth, and having suc ceeded in unfastening it, he set his feet at liberty, instantly got up and dressed, and arming himself with a brace of pistols, proceeded to Glaston to arouse his neighbours and give information of the outrage. ENGLISH THEATRICALS AT THE T UILERIES. Their Majesties gave last night a grand theatrical re presentation at the Tuileries, the perfor mances b e i ng Shakepeare' s t rage dy o f Hamlet, by Mr. Macready and the English company, followed by the petite comedy of The Day after the Wedding. The beautiful theatre of the Palace was fitted up for the occasion, having been but two nights before used as a salon de danse at the grand Court ball. This brief interim had sufficed to restore the theatre to its original destination, and a more elegant and commodious construction for the purpose does not exist. The salle, which is composed of a parterre and two principal galleries, or rather two ranges of loges, with a circle of much smaller ones near the ceiling, ap pears capable of accommodating about six hundred spectators. The stage is sufficiently capacious for all the purposes of the drama, legitimate or illegiti mate, for its size and completeness in machinery, trap doors, and other accessories, so unlocked for in a thea tre of this description, render it suitable for every species of dramatic representation, from " gorgeous tragedy" down to the mere display of a ballet. It is unnecessary to say that, on this occasion, the auditory was a most splendid one ; it would, indeed, be difficult to imagine a more striking coup at once gorgeous and elegant, than that presented by the salle at a few minutes after eight o'clock. It was at this hour that their Majesties and the Princes and Princesses, Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, and other Cabinet Ministers, with all the great Officers of State and the household, had just taken their seats in the spacious gallery immediately op posite the stage, which was entirely occupied by the royal party. The side boxes bad been previously filled by the various Ambassadors and Ministers from all the Courts of Europe, with their ladies, the leading Members of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, and all the most distinguished foreigners at present residing in Paris. The gentlemen were nearly all in uniform or court costume, and the scene was literally dazzling from the brilliant display of diamonds, flowers, and jewellery made by the ladies present. The parterre was also glittering with uniforms, and the elegant dresses worn by les dames presented a wondrous contrast to the sombre appear ance of this part of the house at the public theatres in Paris, whence ladies are rigorously excluded. Of the performance of the tragedy we are not here called upon to speak, even if it were according to etiquette, having lately more than once described the representation at length. We may be permitted, however, to observe that though the play was somewhat abridged, the scene of the grave-diggers being wholly omitted, it seemed to lose nothing whatever of its interest by the curtailment, and the tragedy went off in the most satisfactory man ner. Hamlet, who is here the " observed of all ob servers," was never played by Macready with more spirit and power ; and Miss Faucit and the entire of the per formers acquitted themselves worthily on this remark. able evening — remarkable to our minds, because we look upon this representation of Shakspeare's tragedy of Hamlet, by an English company in the ancient Palace of the Tuileries, on the invitation of the Monarch, as an event in the history of the two nations, which to havo foretold a few years ago, would have set the pro phet down as the idlest of dreamers.—Ga/ignaas Messenger. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.—The other evening, as Mr. George Airey, butcher, of Fiddler Hall, was returning from his usual round of selling his meat towards his home, about a mile south of Newby bridge, and a short distance from the corn-mill at the foot of Windermere, his horse, from some unknown cause, leaped from the road into the river, a descent of more than three yards, without upsetting his covered cart. The river being swollen with the heavy rain of the last few days, the horse and cart were washed into the middle of the river. Here. Mr. Airey remained for nearly three hours, the horse centendininekgaeganinnyst one stream, and though y o ung and p ow erful it could not stem ' the torrent • nor was Mr. Airey able to hear him, t he noise of the water running over the weir preventing him being heard, and as it was about eight o l elock tits one was passing at the time. Mr. A. how ever, being a wan of regular habits, and not returning home at his usual time, his father proceeded towards a fir mneither (the Backbarrow, and got Mr. John Wren, carpenter, to accompany him. To their surprise they found Mr. Airey in the perilous situation above described, and at cart length, was by left untilassistance, the theymor nginotgon i him and the horsea, of them having received any injury, except a f e w bruises, and being much benumbed with cold, a hard frost prevailing at the time. What is the survey or a b ou t to suffer a public road like thi s t o remain so l ong i n so bad a state, without any protection to the traveller? and err At the place above-named the wall is nearly level with the road, and there are three openings. We hope the proper authorities will look after the matter.—Lancaster Guardian. IitIFROVEMENT OF TuADE.---We are glad to hear that, in Consequence of the continued improvement in trade, the manufacturers of this city have again raised the wages paid for weaving. For work for which eleven pence was formerly paid, one shilling is now given ; and this is 3-id, more than was paid for the same work in 1842. Probably the advocates of corn-laws will now explain to us how the fallacy of their usual argument has arisen, that the manufacturers only ask for cheap bread for the purpose of pulling down the wages of their workmen. Cheap bread, they say, means low wages : another absurdity of the statement is here proved, as it has often been proved before, by a stubborn fact.—Car lisle Journal , c e to r take24l of his itsh triale co county t yt the n police, ex t officer ffi e . committed to Kirkdale, by FELONY BY Al( OFFICER.

PROPOSED NEW PARK AT BAT- o i b a t i t e a n t n t r n r k recently t e b r e s e e n a - d fl i e r l e d e s t . e d h the TERSEA. tt It for l' a L i z a b t l been ascertained that 600 or 600 acres of land might be purchased there at very moderate price ; and if half of it only were appropriated ,to the public as a park, the other half would, if let for building, most likely produce sufficient rental to pay all ex penses; and it would make a valuable place of recrea tion to the public, who could get easy access to it from the most crowded parts of London. The steam boats have become a very Important means of transit ; they still appear to be increasing very much, and probably they cannot have too much encouragement. By diverting the busy traffic of our streets to the river, they relieve the crowded thoroughfares of the town, and they have already proved themselves to be important auxiliaries in the cleansing of the river and its shores. By means of these boats this park would be acces sible to a vast number of all classes of persons who live on both sides of the Thames, including the whole extent of London, a length of seven or eight miles. The poorer class of persons could get there by the steam-boats at a less expense than they can get a change of air in any other way. Another of the advantages connected with the pur chase of this land at Battersea would be that, from its position by the side of the Thames, there would be facilities for making large pieces of water. In sum mer these might be changed, if necessary, every tide ; and they would furnish an excellent bathing-place for the IN'orking population in hot weather. At present the working i classes have no means, (or at best very limited means) Of bathing. These baths might be so inclosed by plan n tations as to prevent them from being in any way offensive, and on that account would be =tali fitter for the purpose than the Serpentine River, whirptkbeW: 'ng ival ways a great nuisance, and so offg*:kiefttr rive many persons from the park, and ft whe,,eveszq fhb objection did not exist, there is not a ten-part of the space requisite for these purposes, Resales, any bathing places made here would not only have. the advantage of the water being frequently changed, but they might be so regulated as to be per fectly. free from danger, by standing at any desired deptlf,:peing effected neither by dry weather nor by floetis..' • A further advantage, it is obvious, which would re sult to the population of London of all classes (and one which would be attended by not one shilling ad ditional expense), would be the very perfect skating ground which these pieces of water would afford in winter. Now the ground is of comparatively little value at present, and therefore very extensive means of promoting the health and recreation of the public could be acquired for a small sum The number of persons who would take advantage of It would be im mense, and however desirable it may be (and it un doubtedly is so) to widen our crowded throroughfareg, and to improve our over-populated districts, yet some outlay would not be misapplied in the acquisition and inclosure of spaces on the immediate outskirts of the town where there is little if any buildding at present to remove ; and where, consequently, improvements could be made at comparatively small expense, to make good communications and airing places to which the public would be tempted to resort, and above all, in the selection, when opportunities offer, of sites having the river for their leading highway—a high way subject neither to the wear and tear, ner the expensive repairs, nor the dusty and inconvenient transit in dry weather of ordinary roads, and by which it is obvious no one can travel without, by that alone, whatever may be his occupation, enlarging his stock of health. Mr. Thomas Cubitt, the eminent builder, has the credit of having first proposed this improvement. The daily observation and extensive intercourse which this gentleman has with artisans and working people of all sorts, his means of knowing their reasonable wants and their real value, and the unusual interest he takes in whatever concerns the health and comfort of the poorer classes of our population, evidently led to the idea, and induced him to submit his philanthropic proposal to the:consideration of her Majesty' s Commis sioners for th e Improvement of the Metropolis, who, in their second report (the first being exclusively de voted to the embankment of the Thames), will doubt less refer to it at length.—The Builder. THE GAME MANIA.—The best proof that the English country gentleman, who are infected with the game mania, are taking the alarm, is to be found in the issuing of the Hon. G. F. Berkeley's "punch on the head ' pamphlet, an attempt to justify the abominable game system. These sort of writings will go far to assist in extinguishing the odious system.—From a Cor respondent. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.—A numerous meeting of this Society was held on Saturday, the Earl of Auck land, President, in the chair. Among the company were Sir Henry Pottinger, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P., Professor Wilson, and many leading members. An in teresting communication was read, from Mr. Masson. descriptive of the inscriptions on a rock at Shah bas Garish, a short distance from Peshawur, which was illustrated by a copy made on calico. According to the opinion of Professor Wilson, and others, they were Bactro-Parlic characters of a late period, probably about the third or fourth century of the Christian era, being analogous to those on coins of that period found in dif ferent places of sepulture. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel and Lady Peel left Whitehall-gardens this morning for Strathfield saye, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington, during the sojourn of her Majesty and the Prince Consort at the ducal seat. The party will break up on Thursday, and the noble and gallant Duke is expected to return to Apsley House for the season on Saturday next. Ma. BARON GURNEY.—We are enabled to state, upon authority, that this Learned Judge, who has been labouring under severe indisposition at Brighton, is ra pidly recovering from the severity of the attack. He will not, however, resume his seat on the bench during the present term, but it is fully expected that he will be enabled to proceed upon the Midland Circuit at the en suing spring assizes, which commence at the latter end of February. CORONERSHIP FOR THE COUNTY OF BERKS.—In consequence of the death of James May, Esq., who ex pired at his residence at Reading on Tuesday last, a vacancy has been occasioned in the coronership for that division of the county. Although the emoluments of the office have not exceeded 1501. per annum during the last ten years, there are no less than seven candidates for the vacant appointment in the field, independently of several others who are expected to announce themselves early in the week. RATE-COLLECTOR FOR MARYLEBONE.—At the meeting of the Marylebone vestry on Saturday, after the close of the proceedings relative to Dr. Tenfold, the election of a rate-collector commenced, the value of which appointment is about 3001. per year. There were eleven candidates, but the contest chiefly rested between Messrs. Wall and Rathbone. At the close of the ballot there appeared—For Mr. Wall, 53; Mr. Rathbone, 39. Majority, 14. The remaining votes, fifteen in number, were distributed amongst the other candidates. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON. —We understand the Earl of Alornington for some days past has been compelled to keep his bed from illness, and on Friday his disorder became so serious as to ex cite alarm among the members of his family. The Noble Earl is in his eighty-second year, and the disease from which he suffers is greatly averse to a favourable result. Dr. Copeland is the principal medical prac titioner in attendance on his Lordship. Last night we were informed that the Noble Earl continued very bad, and had passed a restless night on Saturday. FUNERAL OP TIIE HON. GENERAL SIR HENRY GEORGE GREY, G.C.13., AND G.C.H.—On Saturday last the mortal remains of the Honourable Sir Henry George Grey, brother of Earl Grey, were removed from Hert ford-street, May-fair, for interment in the Cemetery, Kensall-green. The funeral cortege moved from Park lane about ten o'clock, and proceeded direct to the Cemetery at a slow paco ; the mournful procession consisting of a hearse and six, and four mourning coaches and four, and the private carriages of Lady Grey, Viscount and Viscountess Howick, Viscount Campden, Mr. Elias Des Voeux, Lady Elizabeth Whit bread, &c. Among the mourners tt ere Viscount Howick, the Right Honourable Charles Elliee, Viscount Campden, Mr. Samuel Whitbread, Captain Grey, R.N., Captain Grey, the Right Honourable Sir George Grey, &c. Lady Grey, widow of the deceased General, has left town for Hants. Pose-orricn NOTICES.--The following notices to the public were posted on Saturday lest in the portico of the Post-office, in St. Martin's-le-Grand :—The next mail for India, via Marseilles, will be dispatched from hence on the 17th of February next. Mails will be made up at this office on the morning of the 20th instant (this day), for Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria, Aden, Ceylon, Madras, and Calcutta, via Southampton, to be dispatched from that port the same afternoon by the Great Liver. pool steam-packet. Mails will be forwarded to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, and Monte Video, by her Ma jesty's steam-packet Firebrand, which is expected to sail from Devonport on the 28th inst. (Tuesday se'nnight). All letters posted before the departure of the Firebrand, will be forwarded by that vessel, unless otherwise di rected." It is especially important that those who have correspondence with Pernambuco and Bahia should re collect that, in accordance with the regulations of the Post-office service, the latter will be the last dispatch from London by this mail, with which the packet will touch at these places on her outward voyage ; from February to July inclusive the vessel calls on her way to England only. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 17.—The body of Mr. Jones, the light-keeper, was recovered at low water, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was on the inner slope of the breakwater, near the spot whero he fell in. When Mr. Jones first came to Plymouth that part of the structure was provided with horizontal iron rods, on which the men could stand 3 or 4 feet above the s urface, so as to allow the waves to pass under them. 'Unfortunately, Mr. Jones directed this refuge to be removed, thinking that the advanced state of the works had obviated the necessity for their retention. The accident occurred in the most exposed part of the breakwater, about 30 fathoms cast of the lighthouse, half-way between the joint of the eastern arm and the Camber. Mr. Jones had charge, formerly, of the Owers light-vessel ; thence he was removed to Harwich, and in June last, when the br e akwater lighthouse was first brought into use, h e took charge of that establishment.

Houseless, famish'd, desp'rate man, A ragged wretch am I I And how, and when, and where I can, I feel, and lodge, and lie. And I must to the Workhouse go, If better may not be ; Ay, if, indeed I The Workhouse ? No The Gaol—the Gaol for me. There shall I get the larger crust, The warmer house-room there ; And choose a Prison since I must, I'll choose it for its fare. The Dog will snatch the biggest bone, kio much the wiser he ; Call me a Dog ;—the name I'll own : The Gaol—the Gaol for me. What, masters, am I not a Hound ? Have I soul like you ? You'd treat me better, I'll be bound, If ye believed it true. The Pauper than the very Thief You use in worse degree ; Keep to yourselves, then, your relief : The Gaol—the Gaol for me. The Felon's dress is soft to feel As that which shames the Poor ; The Conviet eats as good a meal, But gets a little more. Pauper and Thief are much the same, For aught that I can see : Well, then, what matter for the name ? The Gaol—the Gaol for me. At the Cambridge Sessions last week, Richard Wade, a bookseller and auctioneer, was sentenced to a year's imprisonment for robbing a cutler's shop. The prisoner indicted a man for stealing books from him at the very sessions at which he was himself convicted.— Norfolk Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF rtIPOPie--It is rumoured in Ripon, that on the meeting of Parliament, the Attorney- General for Ireland, the Hon. T. B. Smith, M.P. for that borough, will be raised to the Irish Judicial Bench. This will, of course, occasion a vacancy in the representation of Ripon.—Leeds Times. PRESIMERIAN CHURCH.—On Friday a meeting of the Presbytery of the Free Church of Scotland, assembling at the Marylebone Literary Institution, was held, when the Rev. Williani Chalmers, M.A., late of Dailly, Ayrsl!irc, was inducted to the pastoral charge of the church :old congregation. A sermon was preached by the Rev. Josiah Wilson, of River-terrace, Islington, and the charge was delivered by the Rev- William Nicolson, of London-wall. Mr. Chalmers commenced his stated ministrations yesterday. Thalberg, the eminent pianist, arrived in LondOn on Thursday. He starts to-day for Edinburgh with Miss Dolby, Miss E. Birch, Mr. I. Calkin, and Mr. John Parry, where a concert will take place on Monday evening. A BEAR AT LARGE.—On Monday morning last, about two o'clock, as a baker, residing in Gorbals, at Glasgow, was proceeding in company with one of his men to rouse another workman, who lives in Rutherglen loan, in order to commence their employment for the week, they were alarmed near the top of the stair which they were ascending by hearing a low growl, somewhat resembling that of a dog, followed by au uneasy shaking, as if occasioned by the uprising of a heavy animal newly awoke from sleep. Not being over anxious to encounter even a dog under such circumstance, the two men hesitated a litile as to whether they should ad vance. Plucking up courage, however, the one who followed the last pushed, the other, who carried a lan tern, a little further on, when, to their horror and con sternation, they discovered a huge bear lying on the landing of the staircase. Bruin, being roused from his slumbers, immediately showed fight, and the bakers, by no means inclined to dispute with such a rough-looking antagonist, took to their heels down stairs as fast as THE CHEVALIER D'EON NOT their feet could carry them, and were followed by the bear, who very soon made up with the hindermost man carrying the lantern, and endeavoured to get hold of him. The baker shouted loudly for assistance, but no one appearing, he made use of his lantern as well as he could, the glare of which appeared to have the effect of keeping off his assailant. Finding, however, that this diversion was not likely to rid him of the bear, he again made off, and getting into a close in Main-street, was fortunate enough to put the animal off the scent. The man, of course, was terribly alarmed, and made his complaint to the police, when an inquiry was instituted : —The bear is the property of a spirit dealer in Huther glen-loan, who has a fancy for keeping such curiosities, and the bear being somehow or other locked out, or hav ing escaped from his usual den late on the evening pre vious, he had laid himself down to sleep, when he was aroused by the presence of the bakers. It seems he is considered a tame one, but not so tame, it would appear, from the above detail, as to prevent him putting the lives of the inhabitants where he is domiciled in jeopardy. Yesterday (Wednesday) the owner of the bear was brought before the Gorbals Police -court, and ordered to keep the dangerous animal muzzled, and so bound up as to prevent accidents in future.— Glasgow Argus. DEAD? " Your Excellency must have yourself observed that the recal of Lord Cowley has been formally pointed out, if not called for, by the principal organ of public opi nion."—Letter from _London to M. Guizot, Paris. APPREHENSION OF A WBSLETiN PREACHER FOR ROBBERT.—A very singular circumstance occurred at Wootten-under-Edge on Sunday last. On returning from evening service, Miss Hunt, the sister of Mr. Hunt, the bookseller, discovered that the house had been broken into during the absence of the family, and that a cheque for money, a watch, and a number of other articles had been carried away. She instantly sent for a person named 'James Hall, who was in her brother's employ ment, and who had 'that afternoon boen officiating as usual as a Wesleyan local preacher, and on communi cating to him what had occurred, he went for a police man, and on returning with him the premises were gone over with the view of ascertaining the manner in which the house had been entered. Whilst they were so employed Mr. Hunt himself arrived, and on being told what had occurred, his first inquiry was as to whe ther a savage little dog which he had left in the house had been killed in the fray; and on learning that it was safe and well he instantly concluded that the robbery had been ac, lished by a person who was well known to the dog. aroused the suspicions of the police man, and he contrived to accompany Hall to his lodg ings, and from one thing to another he felt himself justi fied in taking him into custody. On being searched the watch was found upon the person of the prisoner, as well as the cheque, and a handkerchief which belonged to Mr. Hunt, and the probability is, that he had the articles in his pockets at the time he was assisting the policeman to inspect the premises. He has since made a confession, and - all the stolen property has been re covered, some part of it having been found concealed in a hovel about half a mile distant from Wootten-under- Edge. The prisoner has been fully committed for trial. It is already known that Dr. Lushington is to re present the British Government in the Mixed Com mission which is charged with the inquiry of how fur other measures, equally efficacious as the right of search, may be devised for the prevention of the slave trade. We believe we may assume that the Commission will hold its sittings in London, as the most natural place for such an inquiry.— Observer. MURDEROUS ATTEMPT NEAR PWLIAIELL—This town was thrown into a state of much consternation and excitement, on Tuesday morning last, by the intelli gence that a foul and deadly attempt had been made, on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, on the person of Mr. Evan Williams, of Gelliwig, Leyn, while returning home, in company with Mrs. Williamse from this town. Having proceeded nearly as far as tht Penrhos Church, on the new road, they found tha they were followed by some person ; who, when he had approached them within a few yards, fired a gun ; the ball from which entered Mr. Wil t l h ia n mt' and passed out through the lower part of the abdomen.s back, n The unfortunate man immediately fell to Murder,', and ran telling Mrs. W. that he was a dying n, almost frantic with horror, cried out e lft uu s u lie , ' the mg in t t h o e th in e m n a e t a e r s es o t f farm-house, called Bach,pchaell.edTGheevgiilnlain, informing the wounded sufferer was mean time, had made his escape. taken to the farmhouse, and Williams ,a i ndmed em ica rlaisins in dobtain a e v d er a 3 s , quickly as possthl • wea re of ha h p i p s y o t i o tim st: t t e e r th ee a o t ve fa r3 v , o . ur T ab h l e e hopes are entertained but weak state ; caus e of the villainous at tack is wra pped in mystery, a nd the assassin has hitherto eluded every attempt at his appreh e nsion.—Carnarron Herald. An experiment was made last week off the north end of Deal of an explosive shell, the invention of Capt. E. Harvey, R.N., on a ship's long -boat ; the shell was turned adrift, so as to come in contact with the boat's side, or rather the foremost part of her, and as soon as the shell touched the boat it exploded by means of a lever or trigger that came in contact with whatever part of the boat the shell touched. As the experiment was only on a small scale the result exceeded the expecta tion of the inventor ; the boat's side was entirely shat tered, some of the planks blown out, several timbers broken, and the garboard-streaks sv,re torn out from the keel. We have heard with satisfaction that her Majesty's Ministers have made such an arrangement as will in crease the income of Mlle. D'Este to 1,0001. a j ear, being equal to that which she enjoyed during the life time of his late Royal Righness the Duke of Sussex. l~►~rt+;isV AND COMMERCIAL NE WS CITY, QUART/ R TO ri-/TEP.

Indeed, less information is conveyed in them, as well as the public journals, than by any arrival that has come In for a considerable time past. The state of affairs, generally speaking, was pro gressing well, Still, in many of the plantations, a great want of labourers was complained of. Another stiork of tin earthquake was experienced at Montego Bay, as well as at Falmouth. Our attention hits been directed to a brief report of a meeting of the merchants connected with the China trade, which was held last week at the eleruzalena Cof lee house, to consider the policy of ail agitation being commenced for the redection of the tea duty. Had this meeting been publicly advertised, no ques. tion the ettendance would have been very large indeed. However, as it is, much good may be effected in obtaining the object in view. As a per fect combination of those interested here, as well as at Liverpeol, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, and elsewhere, in pressing up. the Government the policy of conceding a change in the duty upon teas to Is. or Is. 6d per lb.— the population of the United Kingdom would receive the concession with the most unbounded satisfaction. As the Chinese authorities have shown a strong desire to grant the most liberal terms to the manufacturers of this I country, it is but fair that some return should be made on the part of our Ministry, so that the treaty with the Celestial Empire may be carried out to the fullest possible extent, and to the advantage of both countries. As the cultivation of the tea plant in Asszin is proceeding prosperously (though years must elapse ere our India possessions in that quarter can, under the most favourable ciramstances, enter into a - lively competition with the Chinese growers), there may be reasons assigned by our new commercial ally, " the Celestial Monarch" to demand a more free access to our ports of the produce of his immense empire. A royal decree has this morning been received from the Hague, dated the 16th January, by Messrs. IL Ra phael and Suns, of which the following are particulars:— " The sixth series of Five per Cents. is to be drawn, for cash only, and will be at least six millions of guilders, which, however, may be increased according to cir cumstances ; the drawing to commence on the Ist of February, and payment to be made on the 15th of February, when interest ceases. Five millions of guilders, 4 per cent. are to be opened for subscrip tion on Thursday, Jan. 30, to be paid for on the 15th Feb., at the price of 99, and four and a half months' interest, from the Ist Oct. t the 15th Feb., which was to be paid in money or in bonds of the above drawing. For each 1,000 guilders of these subscribed Four per Cents., 1,000 guilders Five per Cents. will be drawn for payment in man at the same time as the six millions above men tioned." A firm market has prevailed for the British Securities this morning. Consols for Money have advanced from 100* to 1001, and for the Account to 100*. The pre mium on Exchequer Bills has been up to 605., but it is now rather lower. Bank Stock for the Account has reached 213 ; Ifidia Stock has receded to 287 and 288, but the Thrt c-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are firm at 104-a. An improvement has taken place in the Spanish Bonds this morning, the budget of M. Mons being held more favourable upon re. consideration of its items, than at. the first. The Three per Cents. have advanced to 39* 4, and the Five per Cents. to 271 The Dutch Fufids were a shade higher than they were on Saturday; and the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted at 102.

An immense amount of business has been done to-day in the Railway Share Market, and the fluctuations have been constant and rapid, to a degree not known of late years. It is not possible to refer to all the changes that have occurred. The most prominent variations of the day are in the Great Western, which have advanced, as well as the London and Birmingham, the Brighton, the London and York, the Midlands, and most of the French liras.

Rupferberg, aged twenty one, a clerk in a commercial house at Manheim, but a. native of Mayence, and a M. de Lavalette, a Prussian dragoon officer, of a noble family, aged twenty-four, which terminated fatally for the latter. The quarrel arose from M. Lavalette laughing at M. Rupterberg slipping as he was squiring a young lady from the play, and it was decided with pistols. They fought at fifteen paces. M. de Lavalette fired the first, and wounded M. Rupferberg in the belly, who, in falling, fired and struck M. de Lavalette on the artery of the neck. They were both taken into the town, M. Rupferberg grievously wounded and M. de Lavalette dead. M. de Lavalette was buried on the 7th. He was followed to the rave by all the military, evangelical priests, civil functionaries, and burghers. M. Kcenig, the evangelical pastor of the Prussian garrison, pronounced the funeral oration. Be fore and after the lowering of the coffin the Singing So ciety sang the funeral hymns, in order to show their esteem and sympathy towards the defunct.. No eye was dry, and the numerous assistants, principally persons of rank, were extremely affected. It is said the deceased was an excellent character, and worthy in every respect of the sympathy which every one took in his fate.— Frankfurter Journal.

Mrs. Tawell, the prisoner's wife, has twice visited her husband in gaol, having procured an order from ono of the Magistrates for that purpose. It ;appears that the prisoner was in the habit of purchasing a large quantity of drugs at Mr. Thomas's, in Bishopgate-street, a n d other shops. These medicines, it has been ascertained, he dispensed to the afflicted peor at Berkhamstead. Ho never purchased any hydrocianic acid of Mr. Thomas until the Ist inst.
