in doing so said ha felt he was performing an agree able duty. After the elOquence they had heard to day in support of the exhibition, he felt he need say nothing to urge the meeting to be liberal in their 'subscriptions; but still he was bound to remind them that whilst subscriptions would be raised in all parts of the country the metropolis would be most benefited by.the exhibition.—(Hear, hear.) He was convinced, therefore, that the citizens of London would liberally support the exhibition, and he was quite sure the corporation in its public capacity would do so like • wise.—(Cheers.) The resolution having been carried by acclamation, The LOUD MAYOR spoke a few words in acknow ledgment of the compliment, and the meeting broke up NOTICE !

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR, But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm reception—but where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly vLsit to the Spirit of John Rich, in the GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN. - - ' This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes— " Who's dat knocking at der door ?"—Come and see—" J. Anderson's my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one can say; we wish they could—flow to make a Pantomime ?—" that is the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory— Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD QUEEN BESS. We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Rale'gh fears his pipe will be pat out—Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Barleigh shakes his head—but there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. _ _ It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assiSted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILE TTE le Introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the Royal Blushes ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! ! will make their first appearance me any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN 13ESS en deshabille, as she is represee ted ill a picture at Hampton Court, —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD Q U - E B N BESS in all her royal splendour.—at is an Historica.l — Fact, that Good Queen Bess, likki " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely !mew upon which to deci.le"—and it is an Historical Fact that the following were a few of them. THE REJECTED ONES Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa, Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden, henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charks Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " wbaderou.s proper men" at limilworth, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go" —and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUSISOR HILL BY 3100NLIGIET--*llsOn " Owning e✓ents cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee, any dar,ing "—lietchy, ketchy, ket.:hy—" Put out the light, and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil- worth—Ho stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Susanna," or rather " 01,, Amy!"—lt can't be said, "he makes no bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but, " being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely Babby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza : " Come my babby, come along with me We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth, Your naughty dal to see." And so they do. KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For farther particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen Bess pail the Earl of Leicester a visit, and "paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for he ever hoped for in return wa.s—half-a-crown.

After the magnificent meeting convened yesterday in the Egyptian Hall, at the Mansion-house, there cannot possibly, on this point, be any further hesitation. Besides, as was fe licitously observed by one of the Right Honourable Speakers, not the least distinguished among the Mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government, there are certain figures of arithmetic worth all the figures of rhetoric in the universe—and in neither the one nor the other were the proceedings of yesterday defi cient. While fourteen orators proclaimed the immense advantages, and eulogized the bene ficent tendencies, of the undertaking, in speeches of various, and, in one or two instances, cf consummate ability the secretary indicated the auspicious development cf the project by reading aloud a brief but comprehensive list of the mcst munificent subscriptions. This catalogue of voluntary contributions towards the liquidation of all incidental expenses may be regarded, we repeat, as at once brief and comprehensive—brief, when con trasted with the magnitude of the scheme adventured upon, but comprehensive as comprising represen tatives; of almost, every important class of the com munity. Scarcely a syllable of commendation is required to be pronounced on the illustrious personage from whose generous heart and enlightened intellect the notion of this superb Exhibition has emanated—his whole conduct, since the morning of his nup tials with the Queen of ENGLAND, being his noblest and worthiest panegyric. His Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT, according to the happy remarks of the gentleman who proposed the second resolution, " is already associated with and identified by much that is wise, and sound, and useful ; and since his auspicious connexion with this country has won his way by a quiet, unobtrusive, and most consistent course, till at last the very mention of his name calls up in the minds of Englishmen the deepest feelings of the most affectionate respect." It was a felicitous thought of the august Consort of our SOVEREIGN to propose a demonstration such as the one by which 1851 will be rendered for ever remarkable —tending, as it must inevitably do, to secure the prosperity of Great Britain, and to aid in the maintenance of peace throughout both hemispheres, advancing the interests of com merce, and promoting the cause of civilisation. No more brilliant evidence could by any possibility hav e been afforded that the age is greatly in advance of its predecessors, and that we especially, as a nation at onc:•, mercantile, industrial, and manufacturing, are willing to advance unrestrictedly with the rest of the peoples of the earth upon the noblest of all the fields of popular competition, the pacific rivalry of the arts and the sciencee, the toils of the workshop and the factory, the labours of the atelier and the labora tory. It was from his appreciation of the magnanimity evinced by the inhabitants of these islands in the cordiality, or we should rather have said the enthu siasm with which they have at once accepted the scheme as laid before them by its illustrious projector that one of the speakers yesterday expressed his con fidence in the advancement of the national character . " I believe," said he, " that the proposition cannot but be in harmony with the sentiments and feelings of the philosopher, as well as with the wishes and asoirations of the statesman, but that it should be in harmony with the public feelings of this country is most extraordinary, and is an evidence of the great progress of public feeling, and cf the rapid circula tion of enlightened views, enlightened sentiments, and liberal principles." Of the truth of this rtflEction the facts themselves are the completest attestation. In leaving the matter unargued as one altogether self-evichnt we shall not be considered indifferent to the fascinations of a logical demonstration. Nor, if the reflection be received aright, shall we be regarded as biassed by party predilections, when we observe that any such exhibition as the one now in preparation would have been incompatible with the maintenance of commercial monopoly, that it could never have been attempted in the days of mercantile protection, and that prior to the acceptance of free-trade principles it must have been either an egregious mockery or a day-dream wholly incapable of realisation. Under existing circumstances, however, we can hold out inducements to the industrious of all nations with out distinction to compete with ourselves in the three great branches of human industry—arts, sciences, and manufactures. With the aid cf the new policy, in augurated not long since, under the auspices of the Peel Government, England can witness with un alloyed satisfaction the opening of this noble Exhibi tion at the commencement of the new half -century--- an exhibition which must render the middle of the nineteenth century an epoch for ever memorable, being, in fact, as SIAILIEL Joists LOYD admirably expressed it yesterday-- any circumstances, and at any cost. The Law Society " A great Olympian festival of modern industry." No finer enterprize was ever proposed to any one of the great nations of Christendom —no enterprize was ever conceived more capable of securing the preservation of peace and of promoting amicable re have maintained their first false position too long ; they now endeavour rather to justify themselves than to preserve the purity and honour of their prefession. Havirg struck the first blow on frivolous and insuffi cient grounds, a spirit of r ampan t an d v i ru l ent anta gonism has spru ng up , grow i ng on what it ftd— lations among the different races of the globe. Th e " nursing it s wrat h to keep it warm," which it would appear could o n ly b e satisfied by the destruction recurrence of such exhibitions, in fact, necessitates of the doo me d v i ct i m. Victory, not truth, is now the maintenance of good feeling among the competi the I the object. Mr. BAnnEs t must not, however, despair tors in the peaceful tourneys of industry ; it readers his ease will b e di sposed of by a high a n d i mpart i a l inevitable the continuance o f g ood feeling among various kingdoms of the earth, a n d binds together in ' the indissoluble bonds of friendship the most remote tribunal.

His judges are above fear, and above Cages that must inevitably accrue from reproach ; magna cat veritas, et prevalebit. How the due development of a scheme so happily ever thick the mists, and dense the darkness with projected, it was with peculiar satisfaction that we I which prejudice may, for a time, succeed in enveloping heard yesterday from the lips of the Prime Minister i a subj.ct, the light of truth will eventually shine of Engl an d hi s eloquent enforcement of the necessity ' forth clearly and brilliantly and dispel all de of carrying out the enterprize on a scale proportioned lusions. He, above most men, should kno w 1 to its magnitude. " I should be giving a very inaccu- , that there is an overruling PROVIDENCE, rate view of the importance of the occasion," said the a retributive justice at work, that breaks Noble Premier, "if I were to tell you that this was 4 the fetters of the captives--that takes the sting from calumny—that overthrows the machinations of the persecutor, and restores the victim to home, and friends, and family, to unblemizlied character and un sullied reputation—which, in tl - e beautiful language of the Magnfficat, puts down the mighty from their seats, and exalteth the humble and meek." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals ofyesterday. On Thursday the Bill authorising the transporta tion to Algeria of the insurgents of June, at present in confinement at Belle Isle, was passed by a majo rity of 416 to 203. The discussion on Thursday was much less disorderly than it had been on the pre ceding days. In the course of it General D'HAuTe Fool. stated, that from all the accounts which had reached the Government, it was clear that the men were themselves anxious for their removal. There was only one means of putting an end to the state in which they were now placed, and that was for them to submit to the condemnation which had been passed on them by the Constitution. In the meantime the Government was about to place them in a better situ ation. They would be in a roomy establishment, and there was every reason to believe that it would be soon ready for their reception. "We will defend them from the Arabs," said the llon. Minister in conclu sion, " but we will also defend them from your in citements to disorder, which might be attended with as much danger as the Arabs. Those who have pro pagated poisonous doctrines, who have been led to the greatest crimes, are in my opinion at least as dee erous as the inhabitants of Algeria. If these men return to ideas of order, of labour, of respect for family ties, they will become landowners—they vi ill find a new country in Algeria, and eventually they may become good citizens.' Towards the conclusion of the discussion, M. JULES FATRE wished to know what was the position of such of the men sentenced to transportation as had been pardoned—he begged pardon for using that term so improperly, as no one could be pardoned who had not been tried and condemned—(4 urmers.) He believed that the inferior administrative agents con sidered these persons with a suspicious and evil eye. He knew a case in which a woman, who had been taken up for being engaged in the insurrection of June, had, when set at liberty, received permission to reside in Paris, but only for three months, her written permission formally intimating to her that at the end of that period she was to apply for a fresh authorisa tion. By what right was that done ? He knew of none. Nothing was more sacred than the liberty of the subject, and it was for that reason that he had thus addressed himself to the Hon. Minister. M. FERDINAND BARROT, who expressed his readi ness to reply at once, was greeted with cries of " No! no! do not reply; it is an interpellation ;" whereupon the PRESIDENT decided that it was an interpellation, and that on the following day the Assembly would take it into consideration. There was a review of two brigades of troops on Thursday. The Constitutionnel publishes the following an nouncement on the subject of the passports required by parsons travelling between France and England : "Hitherto the English, when wi.hing to come to France, hate Brea compelled to provide themselves pas:- pot ti from the Embassy, or feom French consuls residing iu England. On their arrival Lt the French frontier, they handed those passport to the local authority, who t:ansmittld them to the Alinistersof the Interior, and delivered to the travellers a provisional pass to come to Paris, or into the departments. These formalities took ranch time ar:d occasioned delays, which pre►ent;d tra vellers from deriving tie ads antages of the new mode of locomotion. In order to obviate these inconveniences, the consuls of the Republic in England have been au thorised to deliver to the English and French who wish to come to France a simple pass which will serve them to go and return, and will be valid for a month. After the expiration a that period if the traveller wishes to prolong his stay on the French territory, or leave it to travel on the Continent, he must provide himclf with a regular r assport. This measure, it will be understood, will much facili!ate the relations between the two countries." For these ameliorations the traveller is indebted solely to the liberality of the PRESIDENT and his Ministers, who would, no doubt, have long since abolished the passport system altogether but for the absurd preju dices of the ignorant and bigotted majority of the National Assembly. M. GALLOT, the editor of the Reforme, was sen tenced by the police court of Paris, on Thursday, to pay a fine of 6,000 f. for having attached a printer's name without his permission to the number of his journal of the 22d of December last.

I should be giving a very narrow view of the importance cf the oeca%ion if I were to tell you that this was an object of the nation. I could only be giving a true account of the occasion if I were to tell you that it was an object beneficial to all nations." This enlarged and cosmo politan view of the character cf the Exhibition it is which has induced the Royal Commission to abandon the original contracts and to throw themselves en tirely upon the country. That the country will respond to the generous confidence of the Commissioners we are satisfied, especially after witnessing the rapid increase of the preliminary subscription from the first few hundreds to the pre sent total of more than 11,0001. Before 1850 has expired we are sanguine that the preparations for the proposed Exhibition will be so far advanced that we shall await with security the new year and its splendid demonstration. It is, indeed, difficult to conceive the grounds upon which the re-admission of Mr. WILLIAM HENRY Paanea, to whose fearful and heartrending, hut most unmerited sufferings, we recently alluded, to the active duties of his profession can be resisted. What can be the objects of the Incorporated Law Society in exposing that cruelly persecuted and ill used gentleman to new and formidable expenses, and vexatious and harassing delays ? Under the peculiar circumstances of his case his application should at once have been conceded ex debits justitim, or, at the very least, the accusations should be of a direct and .tangible character, sustained by prima facie evidence sufficient, if unanswered, to justify the expulsion of the party from the list of at torneye, if then in possession of his certificate. Tne former charge of being concerned in the vile for geries, with a guilty knowledge of the frauds, had been fully adjudicated on by the only authority re cognized by law, by which the erroneous decision of a jury upon facts could be revised, or modified. After the most stringent:and searching inquiry, after maturely weighing every circumstance of the case, not as a jury would do, where the benefit of any reasonable doubt should have been given to the party on trial, but as a judge in a civil case, deciding on the balance of evidence, Sir GEORGE GREY arrived at the deliberate conclu sion that Mr. BARBER was " free from any guilty participation in the frauds, of which he had been made the instrument." Here, then, the subject was finally and for ever closed. The innocent and much injured man could not be subjected to a new trial at the prosecution, we had almost written per secution, of an irresponsible body. If he had even evinced a want of due caution, which we most em phatically and positively deny, and on which we would willingly join issue with his oppressors, has he not already far more than sufficiently expiated the over confidence in the character of his wealthy and, as he believed, respectable client ? Is the breaking up of his former connexion, the loss of the position and standing in his profession, to the very highest point of which he was rapidly progressing, to be accounted as nothing ? Is the total annihilation of five of the best years of his life, during which he would unques tionably have acquired a handsome independence by his own indefatigable exertions, and the necessity of commencing his labours de novo, to be considered s light or trivial punishment for a simple act or acts of indiscretion Above all, is the weary and tedious voyage, for more than one-third of a year, as a manacled felon, in a floating dungeon— the miserable captivity in that earthly hell, Norfolk Island, for nearly three years, during which he was compelled to perform the most degrading offices—a slave among the most miserable and wretched of slaves, and in which he was deprived of the scanty in dulgences allowed to the most criminal of his guilty associate?, to be altogether involved in oblivion ? Nu! if the vague and unwarranted suspicions of his worst enemies, his most unrelenting antagonists, were even as well-founded as they are really false and un • justifiable, be has endured hardships and privations, he has sustained heavy and irretrievable losses, far more than sufficient to have atoned for every fault of omission or commission that had ever been ascribed to him, and he should now be received with open arms by his legal brethren, and cordially wel comed back to the arena of his former labours—the busy scenes of professional life. What then, we again ask, can be the ob jects or motives of the Incorporated Law So ciety, which is supposed to represent the great and influential body of attorneys and solicitors, not only in the metropolis, but throughout the entire king dom, in bringing their entire strength to bear against a single individual whose means of resistance have been so greatly reduced by previous misfortunes ? the duties which the association has underteken, and for which it was constituted, are simple and clear; they are to take cognizance of any improper or unprofessional conduct by members already admitted, and to guard against the introduc tion of persons whose characters were so blasted, and reputations so totally destroyed, that they would reflect disgrace upon an honourable profession. But in the proper and efficient discharge of these impale tent duties, the society must deal with facts and not with surmises ; they must bring forward distinct and unequivocal charge?, which may be fairly grap pled with and successfully rebutted ; they must not establish a domestic inquisition, prying into the most secret events of an entire life, on the mere possibility cf establishing some grave offence ; they must not call upon the suitor to perform a literal impossibility, " to prove a negative," to show that he has ever been free from blame or imputation ; they must not call for proofs and evidences such as no tribunal that was ever established has ventured to demand. They attempted in Mr. BARBER'S case to institute an inquiry into his entire private and professional conduct, to produce unknown and unnamed witnesses to establish charges openly alleged or fairly put forward, but which were concealed in the thoughts, or rather the suspicions, of the managing committee.. That attempt most sig nally failed. The Learned and eminent Judge (Par TESON), to whom their application was preferred, most properly refused to notice their vague insinuations, or to sanction an investigation which was wholly without a precedent in the entire history cf British jurispru dence ; and yet, although their failure was so signal, they have succeeded is protracting the inquiry for nearly an entire year, at an enormous expense and most serious injury to Mr. BARBER. It is a trite remark, that members of a public and irresponsible body will, in their collective character, be guilty of acts of which, as private gentlemen, they would blush to be supposed capable. It has been, we fear erroneously, supposed that a numerous and important association could not be influenced by private or personal considerations, and that its every act must be regarded as emanating from the purest and most straightforward motives and intentions. But, un fortunately, there are but too often " wheels within wheels ;" there are secret machinations and concealed influences in operation, of which the public can know nothing, and which they can scarcely understand or conceive as being within the bounds of possibility. A preliminary mistake often leads the erring parties to lengths which they themselves would shrink from, if placed fairly before them in the first instance. They speedily cease to struggle for justice, the contest becomes one for victory—for victory —we say, to be obtained under , AY EVENING, JANUARY 26, MO SPAIN.

Advices have been received from Lisbcn to the 20th. The following address, in answer to the speech from the Throne, -gas:agreed to by the Chamber of Peers after a stormy discussion which lasted six days _ 4 1. The Chamber of Peers, highly appreciating the pleasure which your Majesty deigned to manifest at the solemn opening of the General Cortes of the Monarchy, comes to deposit, at the foot cf your Majesty's constitu tional throne, the due homage of its respect, fidelity, and profound acknowledgment. "2. The Chamber of Pears is much gratified at the public tranquillity not having been disturbed since the lest legislative session; and, well assured that this is the first and principal condition upon which individual hap piness and the improvement and prosperity of the state depend, it will contiLue zealously to offer the just and loyal co-operation that shall b© necessary for its con nuance. " 3. The Chamber of Peers, pa l t a ki ng - of the pious sentiments which animate t'ae 'Royal heart cf your Majesty, gives unceasing thank s to Di v i ne Prov id ence foxhaving preserved these kingdoms from the scourges which have so much afflicted oth er ceuntr i es ; and di rects humble and ferv:Tt, prayers to Heaven for the continua tion of the especial Divine protection, which has so won derfully favoured the Portuguese monarchy. " 4. The Chamber beard with great satin fiction, that your Majesty preserved tho closest relations of friend ship with fore'gn potentates ; and th at your M a j esty ' s Government, improving this favourable disposition, had arranged that the Portuguese flag be considtred in the Passage of the Scuud as that (f the most favoured nation, and admitted into the ports o f R uss i a, Swe d en, and Belgium oa term s c f t h e most per . Norway, Holland, feet reciprocity, thus pi-Gliding and tecuring a greater extension, facility, and advantage to our navigation and commerce. "5. The Chamber congratulates itself that tranquillity it; jre3erved in the colonies; and it anxiously desi!es that the flattering hopes which offer to the colony of Portuguese emigrants from Brazil, recently ostablisl e 3 in the province of Angola, may be realised and con solidated. " 6. The Chamber sympathises with your Majesty in the just sentiment of profound gr:ef for the two out rages committed in tbe establishment of Macau; but it lops that your Mzjesty's Government, strongly sup.. ported in the evieeat justice of its claims, will promptly obtain just satisfaction anti clue reparation; and will settle with the utinott care, that shall be necessary, the integrity of the establishment, the sovereignty of the cr own, and the dignity and decorum of the Portuguese nrlni e. " 7. The Chamber will examine, as it behoves them, the use which your Itijosty's Government has made of the different authorisations, which were conceded to it, :and the measures which it has taken to improve the credit and meet the public expenditure, as well as the •estiniate of the reccipts and expenses cf the state, and the proposals which will be laid k fore them. In this examination they will consider wit;i every care and cit- Tumspection the true situation of tie country, to a lopt just, appropriate, and effieaei( us measures which expe rience may have shown necessary to improve the public ;service, and to establish upon solid bases the definitive , organization of the public reviinue." The budget has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies. The receipts for 1850 51 being esti mated at 7,414,000,000 reis, and the expenditure 8,938,000,000 reis, leaving a deficit of 1,500,000,000 :reis. The QUEEN, Don FERDINAND, and the chil ,dren, have given up 156,250,000 reis for the service , of the states for this year. It is worthy of remade that the donation of the QUEEN is the same as it was to Don JO HN VI, w h en the coun t ry was in a pecu liarly prosperi ng state, and possessed Brazil. In the c ourse o f t h e discuss i on on t h e a dd ress , th e .Duke of SALDANHA spoke against the Count Di.; THOM.AR, who, i n hi s d e f ence aga inst the accusati on .of having accepted a caleche'as a bribe, made use of two very unlucky expressions Speaking of the caleche affair, he said that the accusation rested solely upon the assertion of a miserable workman ; and, with r e f erence to the genera l c h arge o f corrup tion; that it did not stand to reason that any man in i his high official situation would soil his hands with trifling bribes. The terms miserable and trifling were of course eagerly caught up by the Opposition oratory, who gave them the proper emphasis, and' made the most of them to work up public feeling against the " heartless Minister who despised honest workmen," with-whom Count LAYRADIO owned, though an old aristocrat himself, he was proud to shake hands, and who bad the effrontery to insinuate that he would not condescend to accept any but handsome bribes. Count DE Tumult is supported by the Curt, but it is doubted whether in the event of an outbreak the army would support him now that SALDANUA has declared against him. At Oporto there has been ,something like a military emeute against him ; the men of one of the regiments there having turned out, and in a clamorous manner demanded their arrears of pay. At Braga Septetubrista meetings have been held ; and at Avo a Miguelite guerrilla was or ganized, but immediately dispersed in consequence of the Chief having been killed in an encounter with the authorities. The Portuguese Government steam-vessel Min dell arrived at Lisbon on the 10th, with a numerous quantity of packages, ten passengers, and two horses, and received pratique in fifty hour; without unloading, or a single article going to the Lazaretto, whilst the Montrose's passengers were obliged to undergo four days' quarantine at the lazaretto, and, what is still more glaring, tha Montrose, on her return from Gibraltar, was again subjected to the same grievous proceeding, wheieas, by their own regulations she should have been admitted to pratique. By the last ordinance issued by the Board of Health, all vessels leaving Great Britain on or b e f o r e th e Bth January, 1850, shall be admitted to pratique, but the first case of cholera reported by the Portuguese Consul in Lon don on it goes again with all its severity, and glad will they be to have the opportunity, as they reap an excellent harvest all the time its in force. GIBRALTAR. There was a tremendous gale from the south-wes on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, during vihich revers vessels drove on shore, and others received damoge The following is a list of the disasters, from the Gibraltar Chronicle : " The British brig Vigilant was carried higher up on the beach. When driving ashore she had come in con twt with de French brig -Steamer L'Amazonr, the bow sprit of which was carried away. " The town felucho Fuente Santa also had her miz3n mast carried arr, ay; the Sardinian packet-brig Cora rcercio lost her bowsprit; the British cutter Tangier Racket part of her bulwarks, bowsprit, &a.• the British valachero Bashaw of T a n g i er , her gibboom; and a Tuscan valachero, as also a Sardinian tartan, their mizen " The Lady Rowley was driven ashore near Fort S Philip. The Neapolitan ship Luigia Carolina lost her fore topmast, and the town schooner Clementina her bow , sprit. It further appears that many vessels dragged their anchors, and several partoi chains. The Lady Rowley lost two of Fah. " It is expected that the Vigilant and Lady Rowley will be got afloat now that the weather has moderated. " The French brig LlEstella;parted from both her anchors. oa the IGth, and came on shore close to the jetty. It is expected that, after discharging part of her cargo, she will be got off. `• The Hercules is expected from Malta, on her way to England with invalids. She is to take a company of Artillery from this garrison." GERMANY. The Second Chamber of ii-sse Dirmstadt has been dissolved. The 20th of March is the day for the opening of he Diet of Erfurt!).

Berlin journals of the 21st state that as no hopes were entertained of reconciling the differences be tween the KING and the Chambers. the Brandenburg Ministry had resigned, and the KING had commis sioned M. GERLACH (an Absolutist) to form a Minis try. . The combinatioii of persons who are to act under M. GERLACH is announced to be the follow- ing :--- Ecclesiastical Affairs—Count CICASSOW, Member of Parliament for a Pomeranian borough, and an ultra- Conservative. Justice—Dr. GEOTZE President of the Court of Appeal at Greifswald (Pomerania). Foreign Affairs—Baron Rocnow, Prussian Am bassador at St. Petersburgh. War-office—Baron RAucu, Major-General and Adjutant to his Majesty. Home-office—Baron KLEIST•RETZOW, Member of ,Parliament. Finance—M. HANSIMANN, Member for a Rhenish borough, and ex-Minister of 1848. Trade—M. VAN DER Hann, the present Minister, banker at Elberfeld, in Rhenish Prussia, and (we be lieve) Member for that borough. A different Ministerial combination is quoted in the Borsenhalle, where we find it stated that Baron RADOIVITZ has arrived at Berlin, that Count BRAN DENBURG and Baron STROT/IA are about to resign their posts, and that the KING has commissioned Baron MA.NTRUFFEL to form a new Cabinet. HOLLAND. Tux HAGUE, JAN. 23.—111 s MAJESTY and the other members of the Royal Family have returned to the Hague. The Staats Courant publishes the budget of ways and means for 1850. The sum total of the receipts is estimated at 70,994,969 florins. This includes ground rents, 9,966,000 florins ; per sonal tax, 5,998,000 florins; patent tax 2,446,000 florins; excise, 19,125,560 fl or i ns ; indirect taxes, 9,108,000 florins; import, export, and' ship dues, 4,533,340 florins; Post-office, 1,130,000 florins. The Staats Courant also publishes a statement of the income of the State during 1849, from which it appears that it amounted to 54,022,811 florins. The Handelsblad states that the heirs of the late King WILLIAM are in treaty with the Emperor NICHOLAS for the purchase of the valuable collection of pictures in the Gothic hall of the Palace of the Hague. The QUEEN DOWAGER has offered a very considerable sum to secure this treasure to Holland, but it is far below its real value. NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES.--WR have received letters from Batavia to Nov. 28. The intelligence re ceived from the residence of Kadoe, announces that the losses caused by the eruption of Mount Merope, were not so great as were at first apprehended. This is, in fact, owing to the heavy fall of rain which set in immediately after the eruption of the volcano. MURDER OF GENERAL BEM. The Breslauer Zeitung has letters from Vienna e the 18th, announcing the decease of General Bern, ~ho'''fought in 1848 in Vienna, and in 1849 in Hungary. It appears from letters from Systow, of the 2d inst., that General Bern died suddenly, and (it is asserted) from poison. This news of course requires confirmation ; for since General Bem is known to have protested that he was doomed to die in the year 1850, nothing is more likely but that some of the Sclavonian newsmakers have attempted to amuse the world with a fictitious report of his death. The details of the alleged death of General Bem are, that the Porte, having entered into an engagement not to employ him in military service, found it too onerous to pay the General a large salary which they had promised hire, and that the Sultan's Ministers thought proper to remove the burden by dispatching the annuitant. The Hungarian and Polish refugees were to be transported to Asia on the .12th inst. We copy the above from the second edition of the Times. Of the death of general Bem we fear there can be no doubt, and equally little doubt is there that he has fallen a victim to the infernal plot concocted by the Austrian Government and their agents for the assassination of the Hungarian refugees. The Constantinople correspondent of the French National states expressly that the persons arrested at Varna, declared that the plot was to assassinate the chief refugees, and to accuse the Turkish authorities of the crime—a plot which we now see is carried out to the letter by the Austrian reactionaries and their newswriters. The Austrians, not the Turks, are the murderers. Poisoning is par excellence a Lorraine-Hapsburgh crime. T URKE Y AUSTRIAN CONSPIRACY TO MURDER KOS SUTII AND HIS COMPANIONS. There can now be no doubt cf the existence of a conspiracy to murder KOSSTIT/I and his companions in exile, in which conspiracy the Austrian G-lvern ment and its Minister at Constantinople are deeply implicated, if they are not (as is most probably the case) its originators and concocter. The author of " Revelations of Russia," has ad dressed a letter to two of the English Morning jour nals, in which he states that he has 'received a letter from Kossurrr, late President-Governor of Hungary, bearing date Dec. 17, 1849, which contains the fol lowing passage : " The Turkish authorities gave us notice the other day of a conspiracy against nay life. But they do not venture to expel the bravoes they hate pointed out." The reason why these bravoes are not expelled is that every one of them bear Austrian passports, and are under Austrian protection. It would be well that the Red EMPEROR should add to his other titles (the list of which occupies some page or so of " The Gothia Almanac") that rrotector of Assassins. Ilow long, we again ask, will the Sovereigns of the world suffer their G.iurts to be desecrated • by the presence of the representatives of this monster ? Is it quite safe for a Minister like Lord PALMERSTON, who may per chance be honoured by the hatred of the Red EM PEROR, to permit an Austrian to approach his person ? ITA L Y, It is now said that the POPE has determined to leave Portici, for Rome, between the 22d and the 25th inst. The Roman Loan has been taken by the House of ROTLISCIIILD. Everything continues quiet in Piedmont. The greatest harmony prevails iu Turin between the Chambers and the Government. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Al bert took their usual early morning walk. The Royal Family took walking and pony exercise in the Slopes and Windsor Park. The Count and Countess de Neuilly, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, and the Prince de Joinvilli', - visited her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert this morning, and partook of luncheon with the Queen and Prince. There is no addition to the royal dinner party this evening. Her Majesty will hold a Privy Council on Wed nesday next, the 30th inst., at Windsor Castle. Sum monses to the Ministers and officers of State were issued yesterday from the Council-office. The Commissioners for auditing the public ac counts, with their Secretary, Mr. Bromley, attended the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the half-yearly 'declaration of accounts. Sir Thomas Freemantle, Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday, at his official residence in Down ing -street. Mr. W. P. Robertson, Consul-General of the Equador, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign -office. ST. JAIII.dS'S THEATRE. The Domino Noir, one of the cleverest and mos, agreeable operas in the Auber repertoire, was per farmed last night, cast in a similar manner to what it was last year, the principal character being sustained by Mdlle. Chartoe, whose singing, as the heroine, lacked none of its ordinary attributes of grace and fascination. To' this general award of praise little need be added, for this charming vocalisthasfrequently played the part of Angela in this country, not only while under the managerial flag of Mr. Mitchell, but during the early experiences of Mr. Delafield, at Drury-lane. As Mdlle. Charton is just now in the meridian of her powers, the beauty of her present execution of the music will be easily understood, and compliment therefore is superfluous. It is sufficient to say that she never sang more exquisitely, played more piquantly, or appeared more personally interest ing. M. Lac was substituted for M. Couderc in the part of Horace, and exerted himself to the utmost. The useful and intelligent M. Buguet resumed his old role of Gil Perez, displaying therein his usual comic richness, and obtaining an- encore in the graphic "Nous aliens avoir, grace a Dieu," and MM. Soyer and Chateaufort were again the representatives of Juliano and Lord Elfort ; while Mdlle. Cotti was the Brigitte. The opera was thus cast in a very efficient manner, and the fluent sparkling strains of Auber were heard under circumstances of advanOge that could scarcely be surpassed. The choruses were carefully executei, and the instrumentalists, under the direction ef M. Hanssens, played the accompani ments with steadiness and precision. The house was well filled. On Monday next the lessee, with characteristic activity, produces the Caid of Ambrose Thomas for the first time in England. The reproduction of Auber's popular opera Le Domino Noir attracted a crowded audience to this theatre last evening, amongst whom we observed the Duke of Brunswick, the Duke of Devonshire, the Turkish Ambassador and suite;:the Baroness Brunnow and Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, MirchoineFs of Conyngham, Earl and Countess Granville, Countess Dowager of Essex, Earl of Belfast, Viscount Clifden, Viscount Cranborne, Lord Adolphus Vane, Lord Fitzroy Somerset and Miss Somerset, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, the Marquis d'Azeglio, Mr. and Mrs. John Sanford, Sir H. Campbell, Sir Henry Webb, Sir John Lister Kaye, Madame de Lizerdi, M. and Ma dame de Horta, Mrs. C. Franks, &c. PRIN CESS'S THEATRE. Xing Charles the Second was repeated last night, for the thirty -fifth time since its production in October last—no small proof of its popularity. Harrison, Madame Macfarren, and especially the Fairy Queen of Song, Louisa Pyne, are heard in it to great advan tage. Mina is played to-night for the last time this season, and on Monday Halevy's Val d'Andorre is to be brought out, which it is confidently expected will prove a brilliant hit. The pantomime continues to run with undiminished attraction. It is difficult to say whether Honey's impersonation of King Jamie, or Herbert's, at the Olympic, of the hero of Sinde, is the more extraordinarily ludicrous. The unparal leled Flexmore is a tower of strength to this or any theatre ; and his coadjutors, one and all, acquit them selves admirably. The marvellous flexibility of Wright, who is fast realising our anticipations of his pantomimic eminence, and the astounding somer saulting of Lebar, constitute them an incomparable pair of sprites. The house was, as usual, fully and fashionably attended.
