FOREIGN-OFFICE, FEB. 16, 1850, The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. "Ed ward Allison, as Consul in New Brunswick, and of Mr. Frederic Charman, as Consul in Nova Scotia, fit har Majesty the Queen of Portugal. DOWNING-STREET, FEB. 10. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Aston Davoren, Esq., t.) be Puisne Justice for the Island .of St. Christopher. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM. ASSOCIATION. Sir,-0a Monday the 18th, the principal discus sion was on the Ministerial plan for the government of the Colonies. Everybody seems radiant and congratulatory, as on the appearance of a new-born child. The point which particularly excites delight, is the provision which after giving the Colonies con stitutions, gives them also the power, under cer tain terms, to alter them. It wou ld be a painful thing if it should turn out, that instead of the Co lonies being put in possession of good governments with power to make them better, they had been put in possession of bad ones, with power to make them worse. I pray leave to note, however harsh it may appear on such a day of joy, that it is among possible things that the whole may end, in the imperfect governments given to the CJlonies,• manifesting their imperfection by making changes fur the worse, which it would have been inconvenient for the Government to propose. On Tuesday the never-ending still-beginning sub ject of the Corn Laws was brought before the House in the form of a demand for the removal of rates and taxes pressing on the agricultural interest, and payment of the amount out o f th e C anso lid a t e d Fund. The attack displayed a curious mixture of ingenuity and impolicy. Ingenuity, in trying to find allies who should be interested in the proposed removals, and impolicy in mixing the plan -up with assurances that there was a great deal more - behind, and this was only one step towards the complete recovery of lost ground. Others en the same side shared the rashness of the mover in this respect ; and one Honourable Member fairly told you of the manufacturing interest, that you had " robbed the till." I revert to a comparison made to you before. Some of the agriculturists are is incapable of comprehending . that you do not sin agiinst heaven and earth when you refuse . to -raiseW, price of corn to eighty shillings at your expense, as the Carolinian slave-owner is of - understanding that the negro does not break the eighth command ment by larcenously withdrawing his own body from the master's grasp. But the national good sense is fast growing over the wound, and every year there will be less left of the scar. Nothing that comes from the Free-Trade benches is half so good as what comes from the other side. They would have been far in . advance of their present position, if they could only have held their. peace. But, like drowning persons they must straggle though th e y go deeper f o r it. It might make a mad - think - of 'the days when he was younger, to hear the arguments and the phrases, which years ago received their qui etus among the audiences of the League. The debate ended for the present in an adjourn went, at twelve o'clock. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN . OLD REFORMER.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William grimstene, bearing date 18tk February, 1525. This was es account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But ander this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

There has been more firmness in the wheat market, but advance is difficult to establish. The supply of wheat from our own growers this morning was to a air extent, with some rather large parcels offering from Lin colnshire; more money was demanded, with which millers complied reluctantly; but an advance of Is per quarter for belt samples was maintained. Foreign more inquired for, but only picked parcels were saleable. Nothing doing in barley, and indeed all kinds of spring corn are neglected.

Labourers were immediately set t ° work to clear the cellars, but on the morning of the 6th it was ascertained that the coal had ignited, and that there was every reason to fear that the king' s palace and the church of St. Francesca de Paula would be destroyed. Tile Tuscan illoniteur contains a letter from Rome, dated the Bth inst., stating that on the previous even ing, during the Carnival, when the promenade of the Curso was drawing to a close, an unknown hand threw into the carriage of the Prince DE MUSIGNANO, the son of the Prince Da CariiNo, a beautiful nose gay of white and red camellias, in the centre of which was a glass grenade. The Prince picked it up, and was in the act of presenting it to his sister, when the grenade exploded, and wounded his thumb and fore-finger, as well as his thigh, the latter being laid open, and an artery nearly lacerated. The Princess was also slightly injured, and fainted away. The chief surgeon of the French army, who hap pened to be on the spot, immediately rendered his assistance to the sufferers. The parti-pretre have, it would appear from the above, not forgotten their ancient methods of ridding themselves of those who are obnoxious to them ; but we progress in everything, and the explosive bouquet of the "clerical party" of 1850 is certainly a more firmidable affair than the poisoned bouquet of the Jesuits of 1750. The Opinions of Turin says that the French are fortifying themselves at Civita Vecchia on the land side. It is stated that more Austrian troops, to the amount of 4,000 men, are about to enter Florence, and that orders have been given to make preparations for them. SICILY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, the Concordia and the Risorgimento of Turin (the latter an ultra- Moderate paper) publish correspondence from Palermo, representing the execution of the six persons shot in consequence of the late insurrectionary movement in the light of a judicial murder. The court-martial which was held to judge them was a mere farce. The following is a summary of the principal facts as represented by those journals. One of the prisoners, a man-servant, named DELUCCA, was condemned be cause one of his fingers was black, which same of the gendarmes, who were called to give their opinion, declared to be a proof of his having torn cartridges and handled powder, while others attributed the circumstances to the ashes of a cigar. Another pri soner, Graazmu, a young man who had just completed his legal studies, was condemned because he was found wearing the military great coat of a national guard, a practice which had been tacitly allowed by the mili tary authorities, and generally adopted at Palermo, notwithstanding the dissolution of the national guard, because of the unusually cold season. The proofs adduced against the other four, whose names are CALDERBRA, AIELLO, GAROFALO, and Moamar, were of the same strength. Three advocates having offered their services for the defence of the six priso ners, only oue was accepted by the President, on the ground that the matter was urgent; GARZILLI asked permission to make his own defence, and was refused. After a short trial they were shot, not twelve hours after their arrest. None of them had been arrested with either arms or ammunition about them. Letters from Palermo, which are published in the I?isorgimento of Turin, state that one of the officers forming part of the Council of War, which con demned these six individuals to be shot, had refused to sign the condemnation, and that another officer only consented to do s• after the repeated entreaties and commands of FILANGIERI. A report has been made to the KING, and these two officers are to be punished in order to show the veneration in which King BOMnA and his man hold the purity of the administration of justice, and the independence of the judges, without the maintenance of which every execution is a judicial murder. The popular aversion to the Bourbon yoke and hatred to the Bourbon name .is greatly increas ing in intensity throughout the island, and is becom ing daily more difficult to repress. Every promise made to the Sicilians by the KING, every engagement entered into by FILANGIERI at the capitulation. off Palermo, has been flagrantly violated. As the POi"E'S gaoler, King BONIBA no doubt procures dispensations at an easy rate. SPORTIALp INT4LLIGUNA. BETTY -nit.' .N(1 A ANCI4STEIt.—Tcrt.:I*.Y.

CORONER'S INQUEST.- An inquest was held on Monday at the George Inn, Hayes, Bromley, Kent, upon the body of Margaret Head, aged 61 years, who met her death under the following circumstances. It up peered, from the evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased had laboured under weakness of intAlect during the last four years, although able to attend her daily avocations. Decessed had been missing for some time, and on searching the premises in the rear of the house, she was discovered in the hog-tub, with her head down wards, and her legs on the outside thereof. The tub was full of wash and barley-meal, about three feet in depth. The coroner and jury believing that, from the position of the body when found, tl - e act was effected by the deceased alone, a verdict of " Temporary Insanity" was returned.

There is still a fair demand for cotton goods, and the spinners within the last few weeks have found themselves able to allow their workpeople an ad vance of 10 par cent, for spinning the finer class of yarns. It is feared, however, that the high rates of cotton wool may ere lung injure the general trade.— Pig Iron—Our pig iron market has been much depressed during the week, and prices have given w a y t o 47 5 . cas h for mixed numbers, at which price the market closes sellers, with little disposition to buy above 465. 6d. casb.

A little comedy, called d Woman's Revenge, pro duced at the Olympic Th eatre during the manage ment of Madame Vestris, is now being played at this theatre, with a view t o b r i ng out Mrs. Glover i n a character in which she formerly made a sensation. The talent which she displayed in the times to which we refer is as vigorous now as ever, and the revival, therefore, possesses all the interest that originally at tached to it. This well-conducted little house is thriving, we have reason to believe, under the present governance of Mr. Farren ; and the perpetual recur rence of novelty, combined with an excellent working company, is more than sufficient to account fur this unusual state of prosperity. STORE-STREET ROOMS. Mr. Love, the polyphonist, gave one of his amusing entertainn.ents, at the Store-street Rooms, on Monday evening, and had what he always well de serves, a large attendance of visitors. As a ventrilo quist this gentlem an h as never h a d a super i or ; an d tew can rival his zoological imitations. His dramatic sketch, entitled Love's Labour Lost, is a remarkable instance of rapidity in changing, not only the charac teristics of speech, but of person, and as a piece of polyphonic ability is literally perfect. The "por traits," which form the subjects of the first part, de velop a similar amount of quickness and ingenuity in the arts of bodily and vocal illusion. HUTCHINSON v.

SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

The f 'Rowing gratifying announcement was made by Mr. Skey, on delivering the Hunterian Oration, on Thursday, the 14th of February, 1850, and reported in the Medical Times, page 111 : " With large resources, the profession of medicine is at the present time a degenerate science. The rank of a select few may yet remain, but the profession has ceased to be sustained to the level of its real value by the voice of the public." Hurrah ! ! It is to be hoped that young men will no longer waste their time and money by entering such a worthless profession, which even one of its own professors is forced thus to speak of.—Yours, &c., The Members of the British College of Health, New road, London, February 19, 1860. LORD NELSON'S DAUGHTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l observe in the Times of yesterday an ex tract from the Liverpool Albion, in which it is stated that Horatia, Lord Nelson's daughter, is not the child of Lady Hamilton; and this is put forth as having been furnished by the lady herself. In this there must assuredly be some error, as I heard Mrs. Ward declare herself ignorant as to who her mother was. As the statement of Horatia being the child of " a woman wbo bad never been suspected, who bad married well, the mother of a family, and a person of consequence" may, if believed, militate against any advantage her family may derive from the sympathy of a public who feel that Lady Hamilton's services to the country have nut been requited, I will trouble you to say that, although I hold the evidence I have already print e d in the supplementary to chaptersbe fully to my il " Memoirs o f th e Lif e o f Ip)rd Nelson suf f icient t o e s t a bli s h the fact of lloraitiailtboeni,nlu y etthe daughter of Lord Nelson and Lady Ham ilton, ing t possess his vie view many which other id n lettersott think it and documents t necessary c t o o n p fi u r b in l but which can be seen by any one who may be still sceptical on the subject.

GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851.—We are authorised to state that it is the intention of the Lord Mayor, in the course of next month, to give a grand banquet in celebration of the establishment of this great institution. His Lordship has reason to hope that the Mansion-hou:e on this occasion may be honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and other members of the Royal Family, the officers of state, the foreign ministers, and the chief magistrates of the corporate towns of the United Kingdom._ NORTH KENT CONTINUATION LINE.—The Standing Order Committee decided yestereay (Tuesday) against this line. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It would appear that the split between the Legiti matists and the Ministers is complete. The parti pretre were lost in astonishment and fury at their defeat on the clause of the E location Bill giving the appointment cf inspectors of schools to the Minister of Public Instruction instead of to the priests of the council of education, and when the division was over, these friends and associates of the brave and polite M. LEON DE LABORDE approached the Minis terial benches and " blackguarded" (this is the only appropriate term by which to:describe their conduct) the Minister for Public Instructior. M. PARIEU appears to have taken the matter very coolly, and when they had exhausted themselves in invective., .VATESMENIL, an old Jesuit nominee in the Ministry of CHARLES X., thus threatened the Minister with the wrath of the parti-pretre :- 111. Vatesmenil (with great animation)--You would have it so; and henceforward between. us it will be an implacable opposition. The Minister of Public Instruction—How ! what do you mean by implacable ? M. Vatesmenil and the Abbe Leblanc—Yes, an implacable war. M. Vatesmenil—Never reckon on us again for anything. A Representative—Take note of these words, Monsieur le Ministre ; these gentlemen tell you that you cannot count upon them even for the mainte nance of order. The Minister to M. de Vatesmenil—l should like to receive this declaration in an official form. M." Vatesmenil—lt is to. the Mountain you owe this triumph. The same Representative—Do not mind them. Act as you are doing, and if these gentlemen turn against you, the effect will be to convert st- portionrat4eask the Mountain to your,side, M. Vatesmenil—l repeat it ; do not count on us in any respect. M. Rouher, Minister of Justice—The question is not of a vital nature, nor is it even political ; but if you choose to take it up in that way the Government will not shrink. M. Vatismenil (foaming with rage)—You betray the majority, M. le Ministre. You have gained the votes of the Mountain, you shall no longer have those of the majority. We will wage war against you to the - death. Do you understand ? M. Parieu War ! You dare not do it. I defy you! As a proof that this defiance was in earnest, M. PARIEU ascended the tribune and proposed an amendment in the next clause, giving the inspectors the power of inquiring into the nature of the books Used, of the doctrines taught and of the morality ob served in clerical schools, as well as in those kept by laymen, and notwithstanding all the efforts of the committee, he again carried his amendment, thus achieving a second victory over the'parti-pretre. The report of the Committee on the Budget which was presented by M. BERRYER on Saturday to the National Assembly, states that the Committee propose a reduction of 40,284,897 f. on the ordinary budget, for which the Bill demands a credit of 1,408,771,384 f., and a reduction of 44,701,500 f. on the extraordinary budget, fox; which a credit is demanded by the Go vernment of 103,184,000 f. The Patrie says : " The Government is a good deal occupied with the a'titude of the Socialist party in the different depart. ments of the east and south of France. We are assured that a great number of workmen, strangers to the city, have arrived at Lyons under pretence of demanding work. The plan is said to be to cause insurrections on different points at the same time, especially in districts agitited by the partageux, in order to divide th e f orces of the Government, and then strike a vigorous blow in a great centre." The PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied by the Minister of War, and Generals NEUMATER, SANEOUL, and JULIEN, yesterday) visited the troops in barracks at the Luxembourg, the camp Morland, the caserne du Foin, and caserne de l'Oursine. He was everywhere received with great warmth. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from a Lon don correspondent, on the subject of the blockade of Greece, from which we extract the following passage : "'Phis affair of Greece is much more the act of Earl Gr ey than of Lord Palmerston. Sir H. Ward, Governor of the lonian Islands, it is who has precipit4ted the affair of Greece. Jr is Sir Henry Ward aho insists on tho cession of the Islands of Cabrera and Corsi. Lord Palmerston had scarcely anything to do with the affair, and the demand f these islets is to b• a•tributed to the Colonial-office, and not to the Foreign-office. With re garel to the conduct of Admiral Parker, that i• explained by the desire which is entertained to wake King Otho thoroughly sensible that, should he join the Austro- Russian League, Greece would be at ones sacrificed, and his royalty the first to perish." The writer then proceeds thus— " This Austru-lius,ian league referred to by Admiral Parker was the main cause which induced these pro ceedings. And I learn from good authority that Prussia, too, in calling for new armaments is influenced by the uneasiness she feels at 230,000 .Russians concen trated on her frontier, although she is too prudent to indicate the real point of danger." Letters from Oran of the 10th inst. state that an expedition under General MAcMAJION against the insurgent tribe of the Abedias has had complete suc cess. The insurgents were severely chastised; 5,000 sheep were taken. The steamer L Avoisier, was about to resume the postal service between Oran and the coast of Morocco, which bad been suspended fur some time. General CASTELLANE left Paris on Monday for Bordeaux, to take possession of his command.

GERMANY. -The Hamburgh Borsenhalle says that accounts were received at Vienna on the 14th from Innspruck, which state that a very serious collision had taken place between the privates of the Infantry Regiment Nugent and the Infantry:Regiment Kaiser. Thirty men were wounded, two dangerously, and the occur rence has caused a very great sensation at Innspruek. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The negotiations respecting the prolongation of the armistice, or rather the conclusion of a new one, will probably terminate in a few days. An English diplomatist, en route from Berlin, accompanied by the Schleswig Secretary of Legation, passed through Schleswig yesterday on their way to Copenhagen, bearing, it is said, the proposals of mediation. Nothing *whatever has transpired respecting the terms of this armistice ; but it is stated that Lord PALBUIRSTON decidedly disapproves of the terms pro posed by Denmark in regard to the prolongation, and that under every circumstance the Prussian Cabinet will not permit that any portion of the Duchy of Schleswig shall be occupied by Danish troops.— Hamburgh Correspondent, Feb. 16. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Copenhagen papers of the 11th inst. publish a bulletin, from which it appears that the King of Den mark's indisposition has taken a favourable turn. Similar news is contained in the Copenhagen journals of the 12th inst. Altona letters of the 14th inst., in the Borsenhalle, announce the appearance off Eckenforde of a Danish squadron. In the same paper we find an account of the Schleswig- Holsteinnavy, from which it appear s th a t the Duchies have sixteen gunboats, one crew gun boat, three war steamers, one schooner, and one cutter, with crews numbering from 750 t o 800 men , while the Schleswig-Holstein sailors on s h ore amount to from 8,000 to 9,000 men. ITALY. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT NAPLES. A letter from Naples of the Gth states that an event had occurred there on that day w hi c h h a d already occasionedimmense damage, and which threatened the most destructive consequences. The cellars of the Darsena, or closed port, extend from the water's edge to a considerable distance under the principal buildings of the city, including the magnificent palaces of the Princes of SALERNO and Carue, and the King 's palace. In these cellars were warehoused 277,000 cantara of coal, and on the morning of the 2d an ex plosion of fire•darup took place underneath the pa laces of the Princes of SALEario and Carue which threw down large portions of the wills, and it was with great diffic u lty that the ill:1614M. escaped NUE. nxstram-.loop, trbour to Spit re &c., pairs advaDoe )y the shipwrights and rigger for commission. The Argus new steam-sloop, navigated by the officers and men who brought the Niger to this port, sailed this morning f)r the River, to receive her engines. The Phaeton, 50, Captain Gorge Elliot, is ex pected at this port from the Nore, whence she sailed yesterday. She will join Commodore Martin's expe rimental squadron.

The Argus steam-vessel left Portsmouth yesterday morning in charge of Lieutenant Parks, and will be navigated to Woolwich by the crew of th - f Dasher; assisted by riggers and stokers of Captain 11,. /N i er . ; son's steam department. The Jasper steam-resSel; under the charge of Muster Commander W. Bryant, was ordered to get her steam up to-day and proceed to the Downs to meet the Argus, and assist her up the river if required. The Mugicienre steam-sloop is now ready for trial, having been fitted with her engines by John Penn and Son, and had her bottom coated, being an iron vessel, with Mr. Hay's composition on one aids, and Mr. Peacock's on the other. It was intended to hare tried her to-day, but high water occurring too late in the afternoon, ,the trial is put off until the end of the week, when it will be more suitable. The Adventure store-ship was recently bored in nearly 150 places, and being found perfectly sound throughout, is retained in commission under Master- Commander Wellington, and will complete taking her stor es on b oar d t hi s even i ng or to-morrow, and sail from Deptford with provisions for Ascension and Rio. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The Eider steam-vessel, purchased for the Arctic expedition, and brought round to Woolwich yester day, had her steam np to-day to exhibit the working of her engines to Mr. Humphreys, chief engineer. Several of the naval officers studying steam , at the factory also went on board to Bee the engines at work with the screw-propeller attached. The Eider is to be taken into dock at high water this afternoon, and as many hands as can conveniently work will be im mediately placed upon her to get her ready for sea as early as possible. The Baboo, a very strong-built ship of 430 tons, of the best teak, was taken into Messrs. Wigram's duck at Black wall on Friday last, and a number of workmen immediately placed upon her. To-day there are about 60 men employed outside her bottom and on board the vessel, while others are engaged in taking out the ballast she had on board when purchased by Government for the Arctic expe dition. Some idea may be formed of the dis patch used when it is made known that the whole of the new copper sheathing with which her bottom was covered only about a fort night ago has been taken off, and very nearly the whole of the outside planking from her ways down to the keel has been removed to allow of a new planking being put on to strengthen her. The new planking will commence at the keel about four inches thick, and increase gradually from the bottom of the vessel upwards, until it is eight inches or more when it reaches as high as her ways. The greater part of the poop-deck with which she was fitted has also been removed, and her bulwarks, at present 6 feet high in some parts, are to be lowered and made of equal height. The vessel is said by those who have sailed in her to be easily managed at sea, and very comfort able, and appears admirably adapted for the service in which she is to be engaged in the Arctic regions. The gallant officer who is to commie(' the expedi tion visited Messrs. Wigram's ship-building yard at Blackwell this afternoon, and remained nearly two hours giving instructions relative to the work required to be done to th • Baboo to render her competent for the service she is to be engaged in when ready for sea. Mr. Rice, a , - aistent-master shipwright at Portsmouth, with the two foremen of shipwrights who are to assist him in superintending the strengthening the vessel, and Mr. Robert Hall, carpenter to the Enterprise during her recent voyage to the lrctic regions, under the com mand of Captain Sir James Clarke Ross, were pre sent to receive instructions. Mr. Hall is on sea-pay, and will attend while the Baboo is fitting at MPssrr. Wigram's yard. The Ptarmigan is hourly expected in the river from Newcastle. and will on her arrival _Be taken into Mr. Green's ship-building yard, to be fitt for the Arctic expedition. Mr. Abernethy, for inerlAunner and icetrnaster o Loans the Entt rpriso during Captain Sir J stirs Ross e c en t ex p e dition, has ag'aiti offered his ""seWices t roceed its Ca fain Austin's exp e diti on , a l t h oug h h e was placed on the pvn , ion-!ist about a fortnight age. It is now decided that the Bal-oo and Ptarmigan sailing-vessels will be commanded by captain*, end the Eider and Free Trade screw-propeller steam-ves sels by lieutenants. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(TH(S DAY.)

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRATII COMTANT.—Yester • day the Select Committee on standing orders decided that the standing orders might be dispensed with in fa vour of this company, who applied for leave to deposit a re t'tion for a Money Bill. The petition, which is signed by three-fourths - of the proprietors, states that the capi tal of the company was originally 600,000/, in 6,000 shares of 100/, each; that 501. per share has already been paid up, and that no more capital is required at present. They are, therefore, desirous of dividing eaoh 501. share so paid up into two 251. shares to be considered as paid up, reserving power to raise the remaining 300,000/. of unpaid-up capital as occasion may require. The pro moters assign as a reason for not having lodged a Bill for the plarpose earlier, that they had not decided on this financial plan until the present month of February.
