PEEL is not in different to the anomalous, disgraceful, and dan- gerous condition of the Protestant Establishmen From all accounts this gentleman came from college amply imbued with the Puseyite doctrines. An article in a quarterly publication, imputed to him and not denied, shows that he had lost none of his enthusiasm for the new tenets by his political labours, and his mingling with the world . ; and his determination to leave office rather than aid in checking this dangerous sect, justifies the Prime Minister in accepting the re signation of a colleague, who, with all his abilities, must be a blind bigot, and a dangerous accomplice of the avowed enemies of the reformed religion. This event also leads the public to anticipate some Legisla tive measures, by which men, who entered the Church as Protestants, shall be com pelled to adhere to their ordination vows, or be cast out of a community in which they are acting the part of traitors and conspirators. But for some measure of this description Mr. GLADSTONE, we should imagine, had no reason to differ with his colleagues, unless, indeed, on their commercial policy, respecting the admission or exclusion of slave-grown sugar, &c. It has been said that the scheme of " cer tificated growth," finally incorporated into the Act of last session, was not one that had previously received the unanimous support of the Cabinet. Mr. GLAD-. sroNE is an excellent man of business, a good speaker, well acquainted with trade, both practically and theoretically, and perhaps as fit for the office which he filled as any Member of the House. Sir R. PEEL , however, cannot fail to see that the mischiefs cause d Puseyism are every day increasing—that the Church has become the laughing-stock of Catholics and Dissenters—that the Bishops are powerful only for evil—and that the law alone, by which the Establishment was constituted, can prevent its crumbling to pieces. We attribute to him higher motives, but even the political existence of his party would urge to adopt some strong step for maintaining one of its great bulwarks. No class of the community are so useful for what are called " Church and State" purposes; at elections they are unrivalled in throwing abuse upon their oppo nents, in obtaining votes per fas et nefas. The influence of the hierarchy from its enormous patronage is almost unbounded and in ordinary ti mes can easily decide the fate of rival s political parties at a general election. It would, therefore, be imprudent in a Tory leader to allow such a valuable machine to go to wreck. But putting these considerations out of the question, he cannot fail to see the many blessings which the re. formed religion has I.estowed upon his country, the noble contrast between its principles and those prac tised by the Jesuits, of whom the Puseyites are faithful followers, and the rapid progress which Eng land and Holland and Prussia, and other countries not shackled by ecclesiastical despotism, have made since the days of the Reformation. With the excep tion of France, what Catholic country can show such marked sn 1 beneficial changes ? but it is not just to make France an exception. Though she has I not adopted the reformed faith, she has adopted many of the principles which flow from it. She has cast off the yoke of the priests, she has confined them more than any other state in Christendom to their peculiar functions, and has prevented them from interfering, as in Spain and Italy, with the progress of truth and the spirit of free inquiry. There is another point of view, however, which cannot escape the most careless observer. The Protestant laity of England are to a man hostile to Puseyism. They are rebelling against the young clergy in all directions, after having ap pealed to the Bishops in vain. The entire diocese of Exeter is in an uproar, and the churches of other dio ceses are justly alarmed at the approach of an epide mic for which the professed guardians of Protestantism will provide no remedy. They look now only to the Legislature. Never was there an opportunity for a Minister to do so much good, or obtain so just popularity in a righteous cause. He would be sup ported by every political party in the State. Tories, 'Whigs, Radicals, and Chartists, would join with him in putting down a sect which has broken its vows, polluted the very sources of learning, truth, and liberty, and is madly bent on bringing back the darkness of the middle ages, and the thraldom which a grasping and worldly religion imposed on mankind. There ought to be ne scruples about touching the canons or the rubrics, or any of the ecclesiastical laws formed for the regulation of the Church. The Protestant religion is the established religion of the country, and must be maintained at all hazards. The rubrics are admitted by several of the Bishops to be contradictory —possibly, so are the canons—and the safeguards of Protestantism, therefore, are not fitted for their original purpose. If they and the Bishops together cannot exclude Catholic tenets and Catholic rites, and traitors in the bosom of the Church set all au thority at defiance, nothing short of a reversion—in other words, ecclesiastical reform—will satisfy the ; English people. Madrid journals of the 23d inst. have been received hut they possess no interest. The Bourse was closed on the 23d, which was the feast of San Isidro. Whatever may have been the intentions of LOUIS PHILIPPE ten days ago with regard to the GUIZOT Cabinet, no doubt remains row that it has his full support, and that all the wavering Ccnservatives who were watching signals from the " chateau" have re turned to their posts in the rear of M. GUIZOT. SALVANDY, who hailbeen one of the waiters on the Court, has at last math- up his mind, and accepted the important office of Minister of Public Instruction, in place of M. VILLEMAIN. On Wednesday a very large meeting of the Conservatives was held at a public room in the Rue Richelieu. The number present exceeded 200, and among the leading men were Marshals SEBASTIANI and BUGEAUD, M. DE SALVANDY, M. D'ARBLAY, M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, and M. HARTMANN; the senior member present was called to the chair, and after suitable speeches in reference to the late divisions, the power of the Conservatives and the necessity for standing by the Minister, the Presi dent put the question whether they were pre pared to act as a compact body, and maintain their principles against the motley coalition formed in the Chamber, when the meeting by acclamation replied in the affirmative. M. DE SALVANDY spoke out like a Minister of the Crown, cast off all his doubts and difficulties, and conjured the Members to act with energy and decision on an occasion of such interest to their KING and country. Several Conservatives, who hung back on the Otaheite affair, and especially the PRITCHARD indemnity, were present, and said, as that difficulty had been surmounted, they were now pre. pared to take up their usual positions in the Chamber. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the Presi dent of the Council and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, consisting, among others, of SEBASTIANI, SALVANDY, and BUGEAUD—aII men dependent on the Court, and said to be much in the KING'S confidence. The old Marshal, upon whom they waited first, seemed a good deal annoyed at the small majority for Ministers, and doubtful a s to the result of a still further trial :of strength. He, however, yielded to the suggestions of the deputation and engaged to lend his influence in furthering their views. M. GUIZOT received them more frankly, though he admitted the majority was too small for practical purposes, but as it had reference to only one point of diffet ence, he would join heart in hand with the de putation, and stand to his post. The Count, too, has thrown off all reserve. The KING, it is said, speaks in the strongest terms of his determination to support the Ministry, recommends another trial of strength, and should that be unfavourable, hints, as a last re source, at a dissolution of the Chamber. Indeed this is the most probable upshot of this awkward business. The Chamber is so equally divided, that no business can be done without a struggle at every step, which only retards the pro gress of affairs, and keeps the country in a state of constant excitement. According to some accounts measures for this purpose are in active preparation. Circulars have been sent to all the Prefects, with in structions to lose not a moment in adopting steps for returning, as far as in their power, Ministerial candi dates. The Duke of BROGLIE gives the Cabinet his full support. This was the state of affairs on Wed nesday, but on the preceding day, judging from one of the Ministerial organs, the Cabinet had all but made up their minds to retire from office, waiting only to see whether the Conservative party were prepared to make any movement which might encourage the Government to maintain their ground. This is evidently the drift of the article in the Journal des Debate, and as it evidently contains information that may be relied on, we give it at length : " The Opposition journals triumphed yesterday; they declared the Ministry conquered, overturned; this was to be expected. For our parts, we have nut dissembled the gravity of the situation which Monday's vote established for the Cabinet. If any one wishes to know what is our personal opinion on the important point, what advice in our friendship for M. Guizot we would recommend him to adopt, we declare with the same frankness that, in our mind, the Ministry would do best to retire; abandon the game to the intrigue ; and leave it the burden of power! Let it be teen by a trial what these men, so arrogant in the tribane, are worth! Power is the chastisement of ar dent ambitions and of inferior minds. Let them feel in their turn the pressure of responsibility—their acts will be com pared with their superb words! They are so clever in get ting up a Parliamentary stroke! They find it so amusing; and so convenient to recompense by stupid abuse the devotedness of those who sustain the weight of affairs ! Place them a little in face of real diffieulties, that we may admire their genius ! Either we are much mistaken, or the retreat of the present Cabinet at this moment would do it honour, and would not be long. It would retire voluntarily, not having lost the majority, but not ac cepting the charge of governing with too feeble a one. It woula retire without having 'been beaten on a single point of its policy, yielding to an intrigue, and to wretched personal rival ties ! It would retire after hav ing restored order everywhere, re-established peace on a solid basis, and forced its adversaries themselves to pro test, whether truly or falsely, hypocritically or sincerely, in favour of the English alliance ! It would retire with the cannon of Isly and Mogadore still echoing; and this Ministry of four years has raise d those who made part of it high enough not to fear that France should forget them. After so many fatigues courageously supported and services rendered, it is certainly allowable for honourable men to select the moment of their re treat from official duties. The moment is very propitious. At present they could retire freely and with glory. M. Thiers has always quitted power smaller than he entered it ; who dares assert that M. Guizot does not go out greater ? Can a Ministry like that of October 29 be contented . with a majority of eight votes? Such is the counsel which we would not hesitate to give to the men whom we love. They entered on power like men of honour ; we should like to see them leave it without constraint, and the head high ; to do honour to their principles, and not to yield to necessity. Patriotism demands sometimes that one should sacrifice one's self to the end ; it demands sometime ;also that one should reserve one's self. It is for the interest of France that Guizot and his colleagues should not exhaust their future. These considerations are grave, yet they are not the only ones that the Mi nistr y is obliged to weigh before determining on their course. They are not the only judges of the question. There is some ono who ought to decide on it with them, or perhaps before them —the majority. Four years of struggles, courageously and:gloriously sustained, under the flag of order and peace, have generated between the Conservative party and the Cabinet close ties which cannot be broken without the most imperious and the most clearly shown necessity. It is not sufficient that this necessity should be recognised by the Ministry, it must also be so by the majority. The separation cannot take place, let us be allowed to say, without the consent of the two parties. The noble and firm attitude of the majority in the last struggle gives it an additional right to be definitively judged. Notwithstanding some individual treasons, the Conservativem u partycuoeasn h ee. has remained compact and immove able the end i t t he h r a e s fo b r e e e o n w f e ai s th it fu to l a t o bi t e h t e o common the last itself, before determining on a definite course, to take the In that M. Guizot and his colleagues e majority. In and clearly ascertain the aprity. resigned, bee h hd an illustrious example.

It is thus that we compres hend the common responsibility, which four years' unio and struggles have established between the Conservativn party and the Cabinet. But after having established the duties of the Cabinet towards the majority, the obligao tions of the majority towards the Cabinet ought to be clearly understood. In order that the Ministry should decide on preserving power, and still defending the po licy of the majority, it ought to reckon on its energeti and unanimous assistance. It is not sufficient to be sup ported by a more or less considerable fraction of this majority—it ought to reckon on the whole of it—that is, on the 213 votes which were given for the paragraph of the Address. Let the majority then declare itself clearly, let it decide whether the Ministry ought to remain or retire ; let it declare whether it prefers the illustrious chiefs whom it has followed for the last four years to those whom the coalition wants to give it, in recruiting them by chance from all the b'nchea of the Chamber ; let it say frankly if it prefers the men of March 1 to those of October 29 ; M. Thiers to M. Guizet ; M. Billault to M. Duchatel ; for there must not be any mistake at the point to which things have come—the question is there. Then the conduct of the Cabinet will be clearly traced ; then it will know if it ought to yield the power to ambitious scatterbrains, and to inconsiderable intrigants, or whether it ought to attempt new trials, and continue to defend the policy to which it has given so many pledges. Let the majority declare itself, and the Ministry will obey. But for that we repeat, a manifestation is required in no way equi vocal or incomplete, and without hesitation or frittering into parts. On this condition all may be again saved ; without this condition all is in peril. That is what we demand from the majority ; all other conduct would be worthy neither of it nor of the Cabinet." The Globe, the only other Ministerial journal, re commends a bolder and more spirited course, and adduces arguments, too, which cannot be refuted. " We said yesterday, and we repeat it now," are its words, "that there would be treason in abandoning a firm, courageous, and devoted majority, having just given one of those public testimonies of adhesion, such as, perhaps, no other had ever offered an ex ample of. To abandon it, when it has just fought its warmest and most perilous action for the Cabinet—to deliver it defenceless to the mercy of a mob, wild with passion and irritation, which it has just conquered— , to despair when it trusts—to fly when it remains—to abandon the flag when it keeps it—would be ungrate ful and cowardly, and, allow us to say, even stupid ; for such a devotedness, so disloyally betrayed, would never be met with again. And ought not the Cabinet to take the interest of the country into grand conside ration ? There exists at present a majority, which is not very considerable, but which is very resolute and well united. This majority is a powerful instrument of order, of peace, and of government. To deliver it up to a coalition would be to dissolve it, and, conse quently, would be to abandon the country to two or three successive or transitory administrations,without force, without credit, without stability ; it would be to recommence the grave fault committed by Count Mots in 1839, and expiated by three or four years' violent struggles, destined to repair the evil which it had produced in disorgan:sing the Chambers. The Cabinet will therefore remain ; it must remain, it can, ticularsi—ln order to prevent the circulation of the notes on the Continent, a list of those stolen, with the numbers, &c., has been served on every banker, money changer, notary, chief hotelkeeper, and principal mer chant in all the chief cities of Europe. The lists have been served by a notary, or other official, and he has made a declaration of each service, so that, in case of teed, it can be proved. If, therefore, these parties take any of the stolen notes, payment will be resisted on the ground that they have had due notice of the note being a stolen one, and cannot, therefore, recover the loss occasioned by their own negligence. This having been done, the Bank of England have placed at the credit of Messrs. Rogers anti Co. the full amount of all the notes stolen ; an indemnity to them being of course given by Messrs. Rogers, so that, should the Bank hereafter have to pay any of the notes, the amounts may be recovered , from them. In our next number we shall publish a digest of the law relating to stolen notes, and in the meantime we beg to impress upon the tellers in banks the necessity for their comparing all notes they take, at least those of large amount, with the list of those stolen ; otherwise it may be a question. whether, in the event of their taking one of the latter, the loss may not fall on themselves. Mr. Hobler states that be has received the greatest attention and assistance from the officers uf the several Railway and Steam-packet Com panies, who have distributed his lists and parcels gra tuitously ; and as this is a service rendered to the banking profession generally, it ought to be thus made known slid acknowledged. The same praise is due to the Metropolitan Police, who have served upwards of 4,000 of the lists on the various tavern keepers and publicans, &c., of the metropolis ; but we are sorry to learn, that the City Police, who ought surely to have shown the most activity in the business, declined seconding the exertions of the solicitor, ' because they were not applied to in the first instance.' It is to be re gretted that any feelings of rivalry or jealousy between the different bodies of police, should exhibit itself in this manner, to the d. triment of the public interests." The funds have been steady this morning, but there is no animation in the market, and the French news so far is without the least effect. Consols are 994 to par for present transfer, and 1004 for time. Exchequer Bills have given way, up in sales made, to 625. and 645. pre mium, and India Bonds to 78s. premium. Bank Stock has been firm at 215. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 104 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 1004 to 1001. The Foreign Securities are generally steady, and the settlement progresses easily. Spanish Active Bonds have been 281 1; and the Three per Cents. 404 to t, being rather higher ; Portuguese Converted are 59 to 58; Mexican have been 361, but are now down again to 35 ; French Scrip is 11 premium ; Dutch Two-and• a- Half per Cents. are 63k. The Railway Shares are still rather quiet, but several of them have risen in value to some extent, via.—Great Western, Birmingham and Gloucester, Churuet Valley, and Eastern Counties.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 28.—Accounts from Vienna, dated 1 1 the 20th of this month, announce that the health of , Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, the king's brother, is considerably improved. The Industriel of Verviers, of the day before yes terday, says :—" We are assured that the Jesuits have definitively planted themselves at Verviers. The house adjoining the Church of St. Lambert is now occupied by one of them ; it is probable that the others will speedily follow." The Gazette of Liege says :—" Persons coming from Verviers announce that disturbances might have taken place in that city yesterday, in consequence of the arrival of the Jesuits. It is even said that money had been distributed among the people to induce them to renew the riots. However, the police had noticed; the gendarmes of Herve and of Clermont were to be on the spot to render assistance, if it should be neces- ' sary." The Industriel of Verviers, of yesterday, does not confirm the above statement of the Gazette of Liege. The Journal of Bruges says :—" The Count de Muelenaere, Governor of our province, was sum moned yesterday morning to Brussels, notwithstand in6 his bad state of health. He immediately obeyed this summons, which appears to have been very urgent. He set out yesterday at noon." Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Saze Coburg left the Palace of Lacken, yesterday evening at eight o'clock, for Paris. ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 6.—On the 30th of December one of the dikes of the Mahmudie Canal burst, so that the water for the most part flowed into a neighbour ing lake, and the navigation was stopped. A number of workmen were, however, immediately sent to re pair the damage. The Viceroy was extremely un easy on account of the reappearance of a disease among the cattle. It broke out first at Marmont, and spread so rapidly that 8,000 oxen have already been carried off by it in Lower Egypt. Corn arrives in very small quantities from the interior, and there is much fear of a scarcity. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VLENNA, JAN. 22. 5 per Cent.

LIE EARL or MORNINGTON.—We regret to state that no improvement has taken place in the health of this venerable nobleman, who is gradually losing strength. Dr. Copeland visited his Lordship yes terday, and held a conference with the resident physician. The reply to inquiries was, " His Lord ship has passed a tolerably good night, and is no worse to-day than he was yesterday." Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family sent to make inquiries yesterday. The calls of the nobility and gentry were exceedingly numerous. CABINET COUNClL.—Summonses were issued yes terday morning by Sir James Graham to the dif ferent Ministers, to attend a Cabinet Council this day at the Foreign-office. Downing-street. It is expected that the new members of the Cabinet will attend the meeting for the first time. PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS. Brazilian Bonds ...

We subjoin extracts from the leaders in some of the Opposition journals, and begin with the insidious Presse. After stating that the true friends of M. GuizoT (meaning, of course, among the rest the Presse, which honours his courage and admires his eloquence), are afflicted at his determination not to resign, adds : " Ills adversaries rejoice at the resolution. There is as much difference between obstinacy and firmness as there is between firmness and discouragement. Had M. Guizot been left to himself, we have no doubt but he would have adopted a different resolution. If it be true that he does not intend to resign, it is because he has suffered himself to be overruled by the interested ex hortations of a troop of subalterns and parasites who ever surround eminent men. But whatever may be the determination of Ministers—whether they resign or whether they continue in office—the political question, the question of dignity, of equity, and of reciprocity, has been decided. If Mr. Pritchard receives the promised indemnity, he certainly shall not receive it from the State budget. The Duke de Broglie and Dr. Lushing ton may endeavour to find another solution besides that of the abolition of slavery in our colonies to replace the conventions of 1831 and 1833. In fine, no British Cabinet can hereafter seriously think of requiring from any French Cabinet concessions which are not equal and mutual. That was all we wished, and we have fully ob tained it by the vote of Monday last. As to ourselves, we are completely disinterested, and if the Ministers be lieve that they can still conduct the affairs of the country usefully, worthily, and firmly, we shall not endeavour to oppose them. Our feeble support shall not be withheld from them, on condition that they shall not deviate from the line traced by the vote of Monday." The Constitutionnel of Wednesday, which receives information from the leader of the Opposition, gives the following version of the embarrassments in which the proceedings of Monday have involved the Ministry. It precedes the announcement with the words, " Bulletin of the health, or rather the agony, of the Cabinet." " Yesterday, after the sitting, Ministers were sadly dispirited. The result of the vote on the whole Address appeared to them more frightful still than that on ' the Prichard indemnity.' ' It proved that the Deputies who abstained from voting had perfectly weighed the im portance of their resolution, and that their intention was not to save their responsibility by a species of subter fuge, but to disavow in a signal manner the conduct of the Cabinet; the 216 votes likewise convinced the Ministry that the enormous minority of the opponents was not to be broken up. The Chamber being now divided into two equal camps, no longer permitted the Cabinet to hope that the indulgence they . had hitherto experienced would be continued to them in future. The first movement of the majority of Ministers, after the reflections that immediately followed the defeat, was to resign and re tire. M. Guizot ccnsulted the Duke de Broglie. The reply of the Hon. Peer of France could not be doubtful. He had only to remind M. Guizot of his own anterior acts, and the proof he had himself given of his respect for the conditions of the representative Government. M. de Broglie advised M. Guizot to resign office without the least hesitation. Other friends of the Minister were of the same opinion ; and the Journal des Deba /shad pre• pared a dignified article, announcing the retreat of all the Ministers, defying their successors to do better, and con cluding with the funeral oration of the Cabinet. In those circumstances M. Guizot would have proved himself con sistent, and realised the declaration he had made before the Chamber. ' If the co-operation of the great powers of the state fail us, I do not say completely, but if it be not sufficiently firm to support our policy with success, we should not continue any longer in the direction of affairs.' After leading during four years a humble and precarious existence, obliged at times to solicit the charity of votes reluctantly given, and exposed at other periods to have their numberless contradictions insultingly thrown into their faces, Ministers should have died a little more proudly than they had lived. But several Ministers, and M. Duchatel in particnlar, were, however, of opi nion that the most honourable retreat was not equal to the retention of power for a few days longer. M. Guizot vainly reminded him of his solemn words—' We will not suffer our policy to be disfigured, enervated, and debased by an insufficient majority.' M. Duchatel, who is not to be put off with worus, could reply to him, My dear colleague, do you seriously imagine that your policy w ith respect to the right of seareh, of Otaht ite, and the Pritchard indemnity, has made a very conspi cuous figure in the world ? that it was considered be coming and energetic, and bespoke any grandeur ? Let us be consistent. To govern as we have hitherto done, a majority of three or four votes is as good as forty.' The Ministry, wavering between these conflicting opi nions, thought proper to advise with its Parliamentary friends. Fifteen Deputies were called in consultation that very night. We have not heard whether those po litical doctors were drawn by lot from among the Minis terial party, or if they wore chosen with common accord from among the most faithful. We suppose that they were so chosen, and that M. Fulchiron, their chief, was of the number. A regular deliberation took place, and, strange to say, five out of the fifteen voted for the re treat of the Cabinet. The entire Ministry, nevertheless, sided with those who expressed a contrary opinion. Their ultimate resolution was adopted about midnight ; the publication of the funeral oration of the Journal des Debuts was adjourned ; it may be useful, and we expect to read it one of these mornings." The Courrier Francais contains the following ill natured article respecting Lord BROUGHAM'S inter ference in the business : " Lord Brougham is in Paris, and will leave in a few days for London, to be present at the opening of Parlia ment. It is well known that his Lordship fills between the two Cabinets, with an officious periodicity, the func tions of commercial traveller of the entente cordiale. By him, and through him, are the words exchanged by the two Cabinets, from the tribune of both Parliaments con certed and arranged. All this is settled in the discreet conventicler of the Hotel Talleyrand." The Constitutionnel says the Conservatives, de spairing of success in the Chambers in obtaining a vote for the PRITCHARD indemnity, have resolved to make it up by subscription, and states that the fol lowing members have subscribed I,ooof. each : Messrs. Hartmann, Francis Delessert, Bussiere, Muret (de Bord), Doguereau, Harle, Latournelle, Lavielle, Montozon, Barleot, Alphonse, Perier, De Peyramont, Raguet-Lepine, Dejean, Sebastiani, Gravier, Perier (de l'Ain), Cousture, and Prevost. It is hoped (this journal adds) that by the care of the two Commissioners appointed to fix the indemnity, viz., Lord SEYMOUR and Admiral ihme- LIN, the sum of 20,000 f. will be more than sufficient to compensate the injury caused to the different trades and undertakings of Mr. PRITCHARD.

Tun COURT.--Should the contemplated arrange ments be carried into effect, and her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert visit the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at Arundel Castle, during the approaching sojourn of the Court at Brighton, the royal visit to the Noble Duke and Duchess is likely to take place on or about the 11th proximo, instead of the 18th, as was stated in our publication of yesterday. A TIDE•WAITER CONVICTED.......At Gravesend Police-court, on Wednesday, William Thompson, a tide waiter in her Majesty's Customs, was charged, at the prosecution of the Commissioners of Customs, with having, on the 22d of December, unshipped from the Wilberforce steamer, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, on board of which he was acting tide-waiter from London to Gravesend, ten pounds of loaf or refined sugar, of the value of 11. Bd., including duty, and eleven ounces of green tea, of the value of 3s. 9d., including duty, the same not having paid duty. After hearing evidence at great length, the Mayor said that the magistrates were of opinion that the case against the defendant was full proved; they therefore convicted him in a penalty of treble the value of the goods seized. The convicted officer will be of course dismissed the service. The Court during the trial, which lasted from twelve to half:past three, was crowded with officers of the Custom and Excise.

The bust for which his Majesty Louis Philippe gave so many sittings to the sculptor, Mr. Jones, of London, was on Tuesday cast in the Musks Roy al, and is con sidered by the King and the Royal Family to be so per fect a likeness that, he has ordered two marble copies, one for himself, and the other for the Queen of England. His Majesty has been pleased to place the bust of Sir William Maguey, Bart. (late Lord-Mayor of London), done by Mr. Jones, amongst his eellectiou, and has pre sented Mr. Jones with a magnificent gold medal. Semi-Pacha, Minister of the Interior of the Peale of Egypt, has arrived in Paris. Accounts of the death of Prince Louis Christian Augustus of Hohenlohe Langenburg have been receise d from Germany. We find the following in the Revue de Paris:—" Be fore deciding oh renting a small house at the upper part of Chaillot, M. Villernain wished to return to the Insti tute, and relinquished his intention only on the earnest instances of his friends, who feared that being again in his old apartment, surrounded by the mementoes of his studies, and near his library, he would resume too soon his usual labours. his state, however, is very satisfac tory. He employed a great part of last week in putting his pipers in order, burning a great many. He went out one day, accompanied by a professor of the Univer sity, one of his early friends. They went together to the Institute, awl thence to the school in which M. Villemain's two elder daughters are placed. The calm repose of the retreat he has chosen will, it is hoped, shortly complete his re-establishment." The Count de Salvandy has been appointed M. Ville main's successor, as Minister of Public Instruction. The Minister of the Interior has authorised the Rail road Company of the Gard to establish a line of tele graphs from the mines of Grand Combe to Beaucaire, through Alais and Nimes, but has prohibited any other signals than those relative to the service of the railroad. The King has commuted the sentence of death passed upon Chevreuil, the young shoemaker who killed his mistress by stifling her by means of a mask of pitch, into hard labour at the hulks for life. The last accounts from Switzerland possess some in terest. We learn by a letter from Berne, of the 25th, that the Council of Zurich has refused to accede to the proposition of the Government of Berne to prevent, by force of arms, the establishment of the Jesuits in Lu cerne, but has resolved, by a majority of 9 to 4, to send federal commissions to Lucerne, to recommend, in the strongest possible terms, that the Jesuits should not be admitted. In the canton of Berne, and other parts of Switzerland, public meetings have been held, at which it was resolved to expel the Jesuits by force, if the Diet should not decide upon their expulsion. The Austrian Charg6 d'Affaires was using his influence to induce the different states to observe a line of moderation, instead of exposing the federal pact to dissolution by a civil war. SAW AND P OLEOS. Mr. Kelly, in the Court of Queen's Bench, showed cause against the rule obtained to quash the habeas corpus in the case of Charles Carus Wilson. The Court having heard the Solicitor-General in support of the rule, took time to consider its judgment. Notice was given in the Court of Common Pleas that it is the intention of the Court on Thursday, the 13th of February, to hold a sitting, when their Lordships will proceed to give judgment in certain of the matters that are now standing over for the consideration of the Court. Some of the appeal cases from the Revising Barristers' Courts still remain undecided ; and also cases from the new trial and special papers. The newly-appointed Commissioner of Bankrupts (Mr. Shepherd) attended for the first time since his appointment in the place of the late Sir Charles Fre derick Williams, in the room recently occupied by Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. At the Guildhall, William Whitehouse, recently a clerk in the service of Mr. H. A. Merewether, a barrister, residing in Inner Temple-lane, was brought up for re examination on a charge of embezzlement, and fuliy committed for trial. Henry Johnson was charged with having attempted to enter the dwelling-house of Mr. William Burton, sur veyor, No. 15, Seymour-place, St. Pancras, and sen tenced, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Cor rectior. At Marlborough-street a man of colour, with habili ments of the clerical cut, who assumes the names of Samuel Sharpe, Thomas Thompson, Frederick Anjis tia, and William Wilkins, was charged by the officers of tho Meudicity Society with having for a length of time imposed on the benevolent by assuming to be u missionary, and collecting money dnder that character. Horsford produced one of the printed petitions, by the help of which the prisoner had for some time gathered a plentiful harvest. The petition set forth that the writer had been a slave in Jamaica, had suffered the lash, had abjured gods of wood and stone, in consequence of hearing a Wesleyan preacher; had been emancipated and brought to Englund, and was now tormented by a desire to go as a missionary to the slave countries, but was unable, from want of funds, which want he hoped the Christian public would not suffer to exist. He was re manded for a week. A pawnbroker named Lloyd was fined 10s., at South wark, for taking excessive interest on an article pledged. At Greenwich, James Luisa...nee Browne, who has been in custody on a charge of bigamy, and remanded from time to time, for the purpose of obtaining the necessary evidence from Ireland, eves on Thursday placed at the bar charged with intermarrying with Rebecca Tabman, his first wife, Martha Browne, being then alive, and fully committed for trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court. Thursday William Thompson, tide-waiter in the Cus toms, was charged at Gravesend, on information filed against him by direction of the Commissioners of Cus toms, with having, on the 22d of December last, illegally unshipped from the Wilberforce steamer, belonging to the General Navigation Company, 101 b. weight of re fined sugar, and 11 ounces of green tea, the same not having paid duty, and of the value of IL ss. Bd., includ ing duty, He was convicted and fined in treble the amount of the goods smuggled. a OMIT— r ASSAM Olt 41.11111411.

It is understood that at a meeting of the London Com mittee of Deputies of British Jews, it was determined to take measures for removing, if possible, the civil disabi lities of the Jews, and an application is about to be made to Ministers for their support on the question. Mr. Peed was on Wednesday elected Common Coun cilman for the ward of Cheap, in the place of the late Mr. Ganthony ; there were two other candidates, Mr. Rod gers and Mr. Goddard. Mr. Thompson, an engine-driver on the Taff. Vale Railway, was, on Wednesday, last severely scalded by the bursting of a tube. The back part of his thighs and legs have been much injured. On the following Friday, Mr. George Davies, assistant conductor, :was violently thrown off the step of a carriage by the sudden reverse of the engine. .He was stunned by the fall, but happily its effects are of very trifling extent. Mademoiselle D'Este has most kindly given a piece of ground adjoining some premises formerly occupied by her at Ramsgate, as a site for a new church, which will be completed in a short time. The funds necessary for the erection have been derived from voluntary sub scriptions, and the sum of 1001 from the donor of the ground formed part of the same. On Thursday a public meeting of inhabitants of St. Anne's, Westminster, was held in the vestry-room, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the window-tax. Mr. Aird presided. Resolutions in conformity with the object of the meeting were unanimously adopted, and a petition founded on them was agreed to. The Cork Constitution states that a requisition is in process of signature for a large meeting, to follow up the late protests of the clergy against the national system of education supported in Ireland by the Government.
