Preparations have been made betimes, in various directions, as preliminaries to the re - assembling of Parliament. Several of these movements we have already noticed in our leading columns, others yet demand from us a more explicit reference. Among these latter scarcely one can be regarded a s o f more universal interest to the community than the agit a ti on latterly re-excited by some enthusiastic Reformers against the execrable window-tax, the tax imposed by an unrighteous Legislature upon the free air and light of heaven. Last evening a public meeting of the influential parishioners of St. Giles and St. George, Bloomsbury, was convened in the Music Flail, Store-street, for the purpose of adopting measures for the repeal of this most inequitable and extortionate exaction. The meeting was presided over by B. B . C ABBELL, Esq., M.P., and, although few of his brother representatives were pre sent on the occasion, wards the project ad v ul oc u e c et h e d s:i b m y P t at h e h y o r iv i gais vi n a e tor n s e e o d f theto tiiin.otastr,,atinn through letters 7 .- iiiinbors. _, k , i 2 ,,,,, ,eo _ transmitted from several D , •.',._ ' U L.

I men as Messrs. WILLIAMS and LIISHINGTON, Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART, Si: BENJAMIN BALL, Si DE LACY EVANS, and Sir JAMES DUKE, ex-Lord Mayor of London. Nothing could possibly be more unanimous than the sentiments expressed by all parties throughout the evening's transactions, no single reform out of the whole category of well known schemes for legislative improvement appealing so directly or irresistibly to the judgments of the miscellaneous population. Every man feels more or less the reasonableness of the desired change, because all of us in a greater or lesser degree experience the severity of the infliction complained of. While some may question the propriety of repealing the malt-tax, and some even may doubt the necessity for abolishing the detestable tax upon incomes, scarcely a single individual throughout the length and breadth of the country can venture to affirm that the duty levied upon windows is not most grievous and intolerable. The inconvenience resulting from the long continuance of this evil has become at last too serious and perceptible to admit of being passed over in any way as a matter of indifference. We find it affecting not only the mode rate requirements of domestic architecture, but inter fering almost insurmountably with the carrying out of any systematized reform of a sanitary character. With the maintenance of the window-tax the arrange ment of any adequate scheme of ventilation appears to be little short of being absolutely impracticable. For the consequence of the tax in question is not merely the exclusion of the daylight, but of the free air in like manner. Hence it has fallen out that many thousands of our labouring poor have been compelled, through the costliness of windows, to live habitually in actual as well as in mental darkness, and to breathe, physically as well as morally, a vile and pestilential atmosphere. What is required, therefore, is the immediate and total abolition of the window-tax—not its gradual, but its immediate abolition—not its partial, but its total abolition. Upon this subject there must be no compromise whatever. The ill does not admit of being but half eradicated. We must either do all or nothing, if we would effectually benefit the population. Hence we must not be told of house-taxes by way of compensation, or of any other method of bolstering up in a wrong direction the ricketty portion of the system presided over by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The window-tax must be repealed entirely, and the deficit created thereby in the national income made up in some other way than by a house-tax. About this there can be no hesitation in the minds of our more experienced and reflective Reformers. Consequently upon a consideration so very obvious we need not di late on any account whatever. That we should have a peculiar satisfaction in ob serving the earnest agitation now making throughout the country, but especially within the boundaries of the metropolis, cannot be matter of sur prise to our readers, seeing that they will doubtless bear in mind how heartily we have advocated during a succession of years the abolition of a system which seems to be at length approaching its downfall. Remembering, moreover, that within the last fortnight we called upon the more sincere and practical Reformers of the United King dom to hold meetings in the chief parishes of the land, and otherwise to re-animate the promoters of the movement against the window-tax—we have watched with particular pleasure the ready response yielded to that call by the speedy assembling together of the promoters of the desired improvement. Last evening's discussion of the question must be regarded as not the least remarkable that has taken place now for a considerable period. Not, of course, but what most of the arguments employed by the different speakers have been already brought forward repeatedly with a similar intention. Not but what scarcely a statistical fact was mentioned that had not been reiterated very frequently before, so frequently in some instances as to have rendered those facts almost worn out and threadbare. But these same facts and arguments, unanswerable under all circumstances, were placed last evening in a light so cogent and for cible as to withstand all possible opposition. After en larging upon the iniquitous nature of the particular tax, for the purpose of protesting against which the meeting of yesterday was convened, Mr. WAKLEY observed, with very significant emphasis, that it would be just as well to avail themselves of the present fervour with a view to the carrying forward of other and yet larger legislative improvements. He maintained, among other things, that it would be ridiculous and contemptible to rest satisfied with success in this one direction, and not to endeavour to force the small end of the wedge of in- novation in still further. If the Reformers continued satisfied with a solitary triumph like the one here pro jected, they must, heinsisted, be made of different stuff from what might have been anticipated. "Why, if they do," he exclaimed, if they do find themselves so very easily satisfied in their hunger after improvement, " they must be mere homceopathists in reform to be sa tisfied with such avlobule." Such, however, we do not at all regard as probable. A feeling has been excited throughout the country such as cannot so readily be appeased, a feeling of hatred towards that most execrable system of taxation which has at last, we believe, been doomed to destruction by the grow ing enlightenment of the community. It is scarcely worth while to attempt to conjecture with any degree of preciseness the measures which the Ministry have prepared to submit to Parliament in reference to what is familiarly termed the Papal aggression. The nation cannot now be much longer kept in a state of suspense in respect to the course to be adopted upon a subject in which it has so univer sally interested itself. In less than a fortnight the Ministerial curtain must be drawn up in St. Stephen's, and the views of the Government be unveiled to as anxious an auditory as probably was ever assembled in the House of Commons. But though the anxiety will be intense to ascertain the result of the delibera tions of the responsible advisers of the Crown, yet will Parliament approach the discussion of the vexata qucestio with considerable advantages. The pulse of the united empire has been felt through out. The wishes of the country could scarcely have been more clearly ascertained than they now are, if there had been a special appeal made, and a new Parliament convened expressly to legislate upon the grave difficulties presented by the extraordinary pro ceedings of the Vatican. It is remarkable that at all the meetings, clerical and lay, the proceedings have been characterised by a moderation and an unanimity truly astonishing. Considering the excitable nature of the subject upon which they were convened to petition, and the extent of the injury sought to be inflicted upon the rights of the Crown, we should not have been surprised had popular resentment pressed for the re - vival of statutes of a severe and forbidding cha racter. It has proved otherwise. Whatever the spirit of toleration has effected, in a consti tutional manner, for the religious welfare of the community at large, they sought not to infringe upon. They limited themselves to requiring that the nature of the remedy to be devised should not go beyond the necessity of the case ; in a word, that Parliament should, by law, practically place matters, in regard to the public exercise of the Ro man Catholic faith, as they stood previous to the celebrated apostolical letter of the POPE. Such, and i n so far as the civil part of the controversy was con cerned, was the moderate course which the people were inclined to see pursued by the Legislature. Every Member of either House ought, by this time, to have hisimind free from any oscillating opinion ; at any rate, after the example set by the country, he must be prepared to come to the senatorial debate in a calm and dignified spirit. Peels IX. seems, however, to be bent upon forcing the British Senate to look to his hierarchy in Ireland, as well as to that which he has recently set up in England. A second bull is come to light, severing an ancient Roman Catholic diocese cf . Ire land, and appointing an additional Bishop with the title of Bishop of Ross. Dr. KEANE may be a very worthy tpeasrtat noft et m mhe a p n ip , re b o. ut we den ounce this proce e d i ng on t h e PEBasefoarebretaheeh R of el f i a e i f th A: we were assured th at we could always ti depend h ewpae 3n this dp us P ps t eo o dn: the allegiance of the Roman Catholic Bishops, because they were always selected by the POPE from amon g the three names sub m itt e d to hi m b y the priesthood in Ireland, who bad themselves, subjects of the British Crown, from their own body elected to recommend them as respectively eligible to fill any vacant see. In Dr. CULLEN'S case the Poe% broke through this principle, his HOLINESS wan,. tnnly destroyed this safepard. If the POPE is to he Jermitted - tci split up diocesti's at will ma pleasure, and, ex mero mobt, appoint new bishops, bow many foreigners may we not have sent amongst us to fulfil functions of the highest importance in the State ? It was attempted to be made out both by the POPE and Cardinal WisEmAN, that the British Government were supposed to be fa vourable to the project which was carried out by the celebrated bull of last September. That attempt signally failed ; and yet, - when no such ex cuse could by possibility be offered, when the hosti lity of the Administration to his schemes is patent to the world, another bull, fraught with a dangerous principle, and without the least countenance of the Ministry, is sent from the Vatican. The POPE tries to carry matters with a high hand ; we are mis taken if he does not speedily discover that Parliament can put a wholesome check upon these rampant manoeuvres. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ministerial crisis still continues. The Patrie says— " The negotiations for the formation of a new Cabinet have as yet led to no result ; there is every probability that the denouement of the Ministerial crisis will be de layed for some time." The PRESIDENT of the Republic sent for M. ODILON BARROT on Tuesday evening, and it was immediately reported that the PRESIDENT had com missioned him to form a Ministry. The Journal des Debats, however, of yesterday morning contains the following announcement : "M. Odilon Barrot requests us to announce that he has not received any mission to form a new Cabinet. The interview which he had yesterday evening at six o'clock with the President of the Republic was passed in a general conversation on the present state of affairs." It would seem that the PRESIDENT of the Republic will not appoint M. ODILON BARROT as his Minister unless he should be actually forced on him, for he emphatically declared to a representative on Tuesday evening, "that he should not choose his Ministry from among the majority of 41.5, nor, above all, should he choose them from amongst those who had abstained from voting." M. SENARD had been sent for, and there was at one time a rumour that he would be appointed Minister of the Interior ; but M. SENARD will accept office only on two conditions—first, that the electoral law of 31st May shall be repealed, and second, that M. Louis NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE shall pledge himself not to becoms a candidate for the Presidency in 1852. The Gazette de France mentions a rumour that M. DE LAMARTINE, again solicited by the PRESIDENT, had undertaken to form a new Cabinet, the first act of which would be to introduce a measure for the re peal of the electoral law. It was considered probable that M. BILLAULT would be entrusted with the formation of a new Cabinet. The PRESIDENT has sent for several Prefects of De partments and 'Receivers-General to consult them on the crisis; many of them arrived in Paris last night. The Constitutionnel announces the discovery of another secret society, and publishes a seditious ma nifesto alleged to have been seized, but which bears no signatures. This circumstance is very suspicious, as is the fact noticed by the National, that whenever a difference occurs between the PRESIDENT and the Monarchists, M. CAItLIER, the Deus cz Machina, discovers a Socialist plot to frighten " the naughty boys" back to obedience. With regard to the finding the seditious proclamation, we would remark that i❑ all TITUs OATES Plaats, the finder is the hider. The following is in the Moniteur : " The Commission, formed by decree of the 14th of December last, and presided over by M. Fould, Mi nister of Finances, to examine into the question of the coinage, has declared—That the recent nepreciation in gold has been principally produced by accidental causes, the effect of which is beginning to decrease ; that the influence which permanent causes might have exercised on that depreciation cannot be now sufficiently deter mined ; that in this state of things it is necessary to collect precise information on the production of the pre cious metals, principally in California and in Russia. The commission, in consequence, is of opinion that from the facts stated, there are no grounds for making any change in our monetary system." The Assembly has passed the law authorizing the arrest of Members for debt, by a majority of 456 to 196. The members of the BAROCHE Ministry have quitted their official residences. The Opinion Publique states that the following officers of the National Guards have given in their resignation, in consequence of the dismissal of General CHANGARNIER :—Colonels, MM. Roger (du Nord), Humann ; Chefs d'Escadron, MM: de Pontalba, de Reims, de Corberon, Labouchere, Amyot, Millot, and Tardu ; Captains, M. de Noailles (two), de la Guiche, de Rothschild, Amerlee Achard, de Larinthie, Odiot, Collot, and Talon.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 3,000 bales, comprising 2,000 American, 450 Pernam and Maranham at Bd. to Sid., 100 Bahia a' Bd. to 8 d., 250 Surat at sd. to 4,-d., and 60 Sea Island at ls. 2d. to ls.Bd. per lb. The market was dull, and prices tending downwards.—There was no change in the general tone of the Share Market, though in some in stances higher prices were obtained. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 38s, 9d. per quarter. Messrs. Franks and Millard, in advocating a gradual reduction of the tea duties, write to us as follows: " Even to this day Ministers of Finance are extremely timid in touching—or what they call tampering with'—any article which contributes an important item to the unavoidable exigencies of the Govern ment. This is the case most especially with Tea. The excessive rate of duty upon it—probably about 200 per cent. on the average value—yields some millions to the revenue directly; but we are satisfied the revenue would, directly and indirectly, be much more benefited it the duty were reduced gradually to half that amount. There are many considerations which con firm us in this conviction. First, if the duty were thus reduced to ls. per lb., the price of the article would be diminished, and its consumption increased, in a much larger proportion. Secondly, the best authorities assure us that the power of China to supply us with the article is unlimited, or rather that it has no limits, except our demand for it; and our de mand for it is only restricted by the high price which the heavy duty imposed upon it. In the third place it must be remembered that whatever might be the additional sum we should have to pay to the Chinese for a larger quantity of their great agricultural staple, it would be paid by an equivalent in our own manufactures. Every additional chest of tea imported would ind.cato so much additional employment afforded to our manufacturing operatives; and thus their power to purchasetea would be augmented in a duplicate ratio—first by its greater cheapness, and 'next by the demand which the larger supply would create for their labour in exchange. Nor, finally, must it be forgotten that whenever we reduce the price of one article of general consumption, we increase the consumption nut only of that article alone, but of all other articl e s of a similar ch a r ac t er . We give the masses, by so doing, an enlarged power of consumption generally, and other revenue-yielding articles thus become more profitable sources of taxation to the Government. For instance, it the con sumption of tea were doubled, as under a shilling duty many believe it would be, the Government would only lose upon tea per se the additional five per cent so ieju diciously added to the duty some years ago, and that sacrifice would be more than conipeotsated fur by the in creased consumption of sugar. The advices by the West India steamer are not of commercial importance, the cholera having put a stop to trade as well as agriculture. At Amsterdam, on the 21st inst., the Funds were qaiet.

Consols have realized 96i. for Transfer, :stud 96 for Ac count, at one period being almost buyers at tne highest of these rates. The firmness of the Paris Bourse serves to tranquillise the uneasiness that might otherwise be lelt as to the issue of the French Ministerial crisis, but, on the other hand, there is a rumour that Lord Claren don has resigned upon the Catkiolic question.

SOUTHWARK LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITU TION. - Yesterday evening Mr. Phillips delivered one of his popular musical lectures in the lecture hall of the Southwark institution. The subject of last night's entertainment was " Our Village," in which the various phases and incidents of E❑glish rural life were pourtrayed with that vocal and in strumental talent which makes Mr. Phillips so popular a lec turer at most of the popular institutions of the metropolis. He has versatile powers which he uses with discretion, and possesses the very valuable faculty of keeping his audience in good humour. Last night the large theatre of the institu tion was so crowded as to cause frequent though slight inter ruptions to the course of the entertainment. The songs and musical descriptions, illustrative of village character, were frequently applauded; that in which the rustic dance on the celebration of the majority of the young squire is delineated being marked out, as it deserved to be, for special approba tion. At the conclusion the lecturer was loudly cheered, and the audience retired evidently gratified. THE MARINE SOClETY.—Yesterday a meeting of the friends and supporters of the Marine Society, which is established for the equipment, maintenance, and instruction of poor and destitute boys for the Royal and Indian Navy, and the merchant marine, was held at the institution, Bishopsgate-street, to receive the quarterly report; Captain T. P. Clarke, R. N., in the chair. The report stated that 130 boys had been received in the society's ship, that four had been sent into the royal navy, 20 were apprenticed to the East India Company for the Indian navy, and 32 to the merchant service; 13 had received medals for completing their apprenticeship satisfactorily; and 20, for good conduct during twelve months of their apprenticeship, had new clothing.

Hewson, Esq., which, with a few more contributions lately received, will go towards paying off part of the hospital's liabilities. Between the lit of No vember, 1849, and November 1, 1850, no less than 18,700 pa tients were relieved. THE BRIGHTON PAVILION BALL.--Tile restoration of the state apartments of the Brighton Pavilion having been completed recently - , they were opened on Monday evening with a grand ball and supper, under the patronage of the Duchesses of Richmond and Norfolk and a long list of other fashionables who make Brighton their occasional residence.

TuE HUNGARIAN PRISONERS IN TURKEY.—The memorial from the inhabitants of Manchester to Lord Pal merston, on behalf of Kossuth and his companions, which, in little more than a week, received between 700 and 800 sig natures, with that of the mayor at their head, was trans mitted to the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, one of the Members for Manchester, for presentation to Lord Palmers ton. The following is the copy of a letter from Mr. Gibson to a gentleman of :Manchester:_ " Wilton -crescent, Jan. 17,1851. Sir,— I presented the memorial which you forwarded to me relative to the liberation of Kossuth and his companions to Lord Palmerston, yesterday. His Lordship authorized me to assure the memorialists that all the influence that could be employed with usefulness and propriety to bring about the liberation of those Hungarians had been resorted to, and was now being made use of, but that, up to this time, difficulties had stood in the way of the accomplishment of the object.— Your obedient servant, "THOMAS MILNER GIBBON." THE NEW HOUSE or COMMONS —We are in formed that most of the materials used for the new roof of the House of Commons are the same as those which composed the elega❑t roof first fitted up by Mr. Barry for that cham ber. 's he new House will not be occupied until after the Easter recess. DEATH OF LORD BURGHERSH.—We regret to announce the decease, yesterday, of George Augustus Fre derick John Lord Burghersh. The deceased nobleman was eldest son of the Earl of Westmoreland, G.O 8., G.C.11., and was born June 18, 1819, consequently he was in the 32d year of his age. By the death of Lord Burg hersh many noble families will be placed in mourning, in cluding those of the Earl of Jersey, the Earl of Bess borough, &c. DISCOVERY OF DIAMONDS, &C., IN ST. JOHN STF.EET, CLERKENWELL—During the whole of yesterday, great curiosity was excited in the neighbourhood of St. John street, Clerkenwell, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that about five o'clock yesterday morning, two boys and a man were passing the end of Spencer-street, and by the light of the moon noticed somo stones glittering on the ground. The boys picked several of the stones up and went away, but others of the neighbourhood procured some by means of scraping up the mud into pails; and one person alone picked up diamonds and other precious stones to the value of between 1501. and 200/. No information has been received as to the owner of the property. SERIOUS CiIARGE.—A farmer and farrier, named Robinson, hitherto moving in a respectable sphere of life at Methley, near Leeds, was last week charged before the bench of magistrates at Wakefield with having feloniously assaulted a girl, named Ann Lunn, who is about fourteen years of age. The prosecutrix stated that she had been in the service of Robinson about three weeks, and that on Sun day night last, her mistress being absent from home, she and a servant lad sat up until three o'clock awaiting the re tur❑ of her master, who was out. On his return he requested her to accompany him to his room, but she refused to do so, and returned to her own ; shortly afterwards, however, when she was undressed, he entered her room and laid himself down by her side, and on her crying out tor assistance he carried her to his own bed and there committed the offence with which he was charged. On the following morn ing she told her mother and others of the occurrence, and her statement as to the commission of the offence was borne out by the evidence of a surgeon at Wakefield. Robinson strongly denied the charge, asserting that he had never touched the prosecutrix. It was also shown that she was under notice to leave her place in the course of the week for alleged negligence ; but the sitting magistrates were of opinion that the case ought to go before a jury, and the pri soner was consequently committed for trial at the next as sizes at York. The Bench refused an application to liberate the prisoner on bail. THE LATE MELANCHOLY DROWNING AT CRA moam.--We are informed that on Saturday morning letters were received from Aberdeen by the Rev. Mr. Colvin, parish minister, and by the postmaster of Cramond, stating that the body of a lady, presumed to be that of the late Mrs. Cadell, who on :New Year's morning fell into a mill lade on the river Almond, and was supposed to be carried out to sea, had been found by some fishermen on the neigh bouring coast. The description Of the body found left co little doubt as to its identity, that Mr. Cadell, along IvAh a friend, left fur Aberdeen by the earliest conveyance after the receipt of the intelligence. —dinourgh Advertiser. . _ Accounts from Athens of the 29th ult. state that the prolonged absence of the KING wa producing much dissatisfaction, and was the subject of universal comment. There are some persons in Athens im pertinent enough to ask whether, seeing the nation has managed to get on for the last six months cer tainly not worse than usual, without his paternal protection, his presence could not be dispensed with altogether, and his salary devoted to the liquidation of the debt. GRAY'S INN, JAN. 22 —At a Pension of the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, holden this day, Richard Martin, Esq., B. A., was called to the degree of Barrister-at- Law. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—The space in the Crystal Palace allotted to various exhibitors up to the end of last week was 212,993 superficial feet. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—A large number of packages having been brought by the steamer Sultan, which has arrived at Southampton from Constantinople, which are consigned to a high diplomatic functionary in this country, and are intended for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations in Hyde-park, and will be placed in the bonded premises under the approved regulations until the building in Hyde -park is ready for their reception. UNUSUALLY HIGH TIDE.—At the time of high water on Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, the tide rose till the river overflowed the banks in several places, and covered part of the Temple Gardens to the depth of several inches. Loss OF SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.—The Ripon, which left Southampton with the Indian mail on the 20th December, took out amongst her cargo some specie, a portion of which, consisting of a box of gold, nearly 7,000 dollars, value, was lost. The Ripon returned with the Indian mail on Monday. She proceeded to the docks; in the centre of the docks she laid to, according to secret orders. The su perintendent, assisted by all the officers of Peninsular vessels in the decks, rapidly enclosed a space on the dock quay with barricades, and from which all but the Post-office and Admi ralty authorities were rigidly excluded. No communication was allowed to take place between the crew and the shore. The crew were mustered on deck, and their clothes minutely examined, and when this was done each man was sent ashore. Every cabin and part of the ship was thoroughly inspected, but not the slightest trace of the missing gold was found. FUNERAL OF TEE LATE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE..-'" WORKSOP. WEDNESDAY.—The remains of the late Duke were conveyed to the family burial-place at Markham Clin ton, about ten miles from Clumber, yesterday (Tuesday). The nobility and gentry of the neighbourho.d had sent com munications to the family requesting permission to pay a last mark of respect to his Grace's memory by their attend ance; but, in consequence of the late Duke having expressed a wish that the funeral should be conducted as unostentati ously as possible, the applications were declined. Upwards of 300 tenant-farmers on horseback, were, however, permitted to join in the proces-ion, the late Duke having been accus tomed to look upon them as portions of his family. At half past eleven o'clock the funeral train left Clumber, and in due time arrived at Markham Clinton, where it was met at the gate of the church by the Rev. E. H. Dawkins, whoread the funeral service in a most impressive manner. The remains were placed in the vault of a church built by the late Duke, chiefly as a family burial-place. the remains of his late Duchess were conveyed there about ten years ago. It is a neat little church In the Doric style. • PROPERTY-TAX.—A good deal is said just: now by certain parties regarding the property-tax paid by farmers, under schedule Bof the Act of Parliament. It is a "great fact," that tie sum raised from this source is a most insigni ficant one indeed, when compared with what is paid under schedule D for incomes from the pockets of professions, trades, clerks, and so forth, all of whom pay sevenpeuce in the pound, whereas the farmer, who happens to be liable under schedule E, pays but threepoice• halfpenny ! Again, no farmer is liable unless he rents at least 3001., so that those who really do pay the threepence-halfpenny in the pound are men of substance, it must be granted. 'Why, then, should they cry out for exemption, and when, to boot, they are but paying half the duty which is assessed upon profes sions, trades, clerks, and so forth, thousands of whom have a bare income of 1501. per year? Why, we ask, are those far mers, who are renting three hundred: , , five hundreds, and thousand a year to be relieved Let the landholders and their men-of-substance tenants give a reasonable answer if they can. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived. In the sitting of the Cortes on that day, M. BRAVO MURILLO made known the Governmental pro gramme of the new Cabinet. The Ministry, he said, will be tolerant and impartial ; and will en trench itself in' respect for the law. Good faith, justice, and economy will as much as pos sible preside over all its acts. It does not ap pear from what has been said to be the intention of the Government to withdraw the budget which had been presented by the former Ministry, but it will, during the discussion, modify certain articles relative to the public expenditure so as to effect some considerable savings. The Cham bers listened with most silent attention to the an nouncement of the Ministerial programme, without expressing any opinion either for or against it. A duel with sabres was fought on the 15th between the Count DE SAN LUIS, ex-Minister of the Interior, and M. ALEJANDRO DE CASTRO, in which the formesr was wounded in the head, but so slightly that he was able to take his seat in the Chamber of Deputies on the following day. MADRID BoLsA, JAN. 16.—Three per Cents., 33k; Five per Cents., 12 9-16. Exchange on Lon don, 50 65. GERMAN Y. The Minister cf War of Prussia, by decree of the 17th, orders that the battalions and squadrons of the land wehr shall be reduced to one company. A recent decree of the Saxon Government opens a loan of 15,000,000 florins in treasury bills, bearing interest at 4i per cent. We find the following in the German Journal of Frankfort, under date of Munich, 17th :—" We learn that the Prussian Government has no intention of op posing the project of the Austrian Government to in crease the expeditionary corps d'arrnee of Holstein, and that this corps will be followed, before the end of February, by an army of 40,000 men, which will take up a position on the Lower Elbe. The object of this measure is not at present known." The German Refoinz of Berlin has the following from Vienna, dated the 16th:—We learn from a source on which we can place reliance that the re• establishment of the free port of Venice has been de cided on since the return of PriDea DE SCHWARTZEN BERG from Dresden. Various rumours are in circu lation. It is said by some that the Government will shortly publish a memorial on the actual state of the negotiations relative to the German question, whilst others say that the provincial Diets will be convoked in a short time. It is not very probable, however, that they will bP, for the Government is anxious, before anything else, to promulgate the statutes for Hungary and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom." Complaints have been made to the Austrian Mi nistry, that immense quantities of English linen goods are smuggled through the Duchies into Tran sylvania, where they are distributed all over the country. Lhia English contraband trade, which is said to be systematically organized, and greatly facilitated by the removal of the line of customs along Hungary, is said to be so highly injurious to the linen manu facturers in Transylvania, that they are on the brink of ruin in consequence. A dreadful accident, attended with the loss of three lives, occurred to the Berlin an d C ologne Railway train, on the 20th ; in consequence, the Berlin mail of the 20th, End the Vienna mail of the 19th, have been delayed. BELGIUM. The Ministerial crisis in Belgium is at a n en d. I n the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies yesterd a y, t h e Minister of the Interior announced that the KING had accepted the resignation of General BRIALMONT, luster of War.
