'FRANCE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTES, JAN. 25. M. Guizot (who was in possession of the tribune when the post left) in his reply to M. Odillon Barrot, denied that any threats had been made by the British Cabinet, and observed that the French Government had not, con sequently, been influenced by fear in its determination. The gravity of the situation, he said, revealed itself by degrees, and by certain symptoms, which M. de Jareat remarked and communicated to his Government. Those symptoms and facts did not modify the ideas which the Government originally entertained, or change its resolution. "There must always exist between Eng land and France," said M. Guizot, " courtesy, regard good proceedings, mutual advantages, and concession . Any other conduct would be shameful, and sooner or later fatal. When I hear men say that those sentiments are not reciprocal, after what has passed during ; four years, and particularly during the last six months, I think I am dreaming, foi I can hardly conceive that facts should be so perverted or badly understood. I could, if I wished, lay before your eyes the relative situations of France and Eng land, and all the facts relating thereto in all the points et the globe, and you would see that everywhere the ad vantages and concessions are reciprocal between the two countries ; you would see that wherever we had any ob ject to carry our policy, so far from losing ground,• in consequence of our intimacy with Great Britain, bac rather gained. French influenas in Spain, in Africa, in the East, in Greece, in Italy, everywhere in short, has increased." M. Guizot then contended that that mutual good feeling was particularly manifest in the affair of Otaheite. When France had accepted the protectorate of that archipelago, in which the English Government indirectly predominated through its missionaries, tradi tions, and the habits of the country during the last fore% years, that Government had viewed that measure with displeasure; nevertheless it had acted loyally, sensibly, it had not contested the right of France, it had even accepted the protectorate, and sent instructions to that effect to its agents, and on that occaeior. the good feeling, the acts of cimplaisance and conces• sion, were not on the side of France. M. Guizot admitted that in the case of the occupation of Otaheite, France had responded to that friendly disposition of England. "We considered," he said, " that the absolute sovereignty would not be advantageous to us, that it would modify the character of our establishment, that it would remit!! . the complications which it was likely to produce between us and England more difficult and delicate. We refused the absolute sovereignty, and we acted wisely; for, al low me to remind you, that the temporary protectorate had endured for a space of fourteen months, with diffi culties and embarrassments, but without any serious event, without any insurrection, or any appeal to mate rial force. Scarcely. however, had the absolute sove reignty been proclaimed than sedition and revolt per vaded the island. In this second act of the affair I con fess it was the French Cabinet who evinced regard to wards England; but it will be admitted, on the other hand, that in the first two acts of the affair there was at least reciprocity. I now come to the third act—the explosion of the civil war and the expulsion of Mr. Pritchard. Two facts have been overlooked—first at the moment when Mr. Pritchard was expelled he had been recaled by his Government ; he had been removed from Otaheite and sent elsewhere. England had taken into consideration our remonstrances on the inconve nience of continuing Mr. Pritchard at Otaheite ; she had given us satisfaction by recaling him. When Mr. Pritchard was expelled, he demanded that an inquiry be instituted into the facts with which he was charged ; he asked to be tried, and repeated that request after his return to England. lie maintained, wrongfully, I believe, that he was a stranger to the explosion of the civil war and to the revolt ; he contends that it would have been impossible to convict him, had he been tried, for want of proof. Our agents at Otaheite did not deem it expe dient to adopt such a course. I approve their conduct. I regard their conviction respecting the intrigues of Mr: Pritchard and the danger of his presence as well founded; the trial would have been difficult and dangerous, and per haps productive of no result." M.Guizot then described the effect created in Fngland by the expulsion of Mr. Prit chard. "We wished," he said, " togive time to the agitation to subside ; we assumed a passive and expectant attitude, persuaded, as we were, that this result would be attained when the truth should become known. We were strongly urged. Nothing was officially demanded from us, we were in nowise threatened. No Government in Europe. whether friendly or indifferent, would presume to address in any shape, directly or indirectly, any menaces to the King's Government. We did not require to be told that the situation was serious. We knew that a solution should be given to it ; that France should take a decision, and say something on what had occurred at Otaheite, otherwise serious events would be the con sequence. After a month's delay, we made known to the English Government our opinion and resolution. We maintained that our agents had the right to expel Mr. Pritchard, and that they bad acted properly in ex pelling him. We then added, as I myself stated to our agent from the beginning, that we regretted and disapproved certain proceedings and circumstances in his conduit. I persist at present more strongly than ever in that opinion, after what has been said at this tribune. I greatly apprehend that the sentiments delivered in this hall may cause a confusion in the minds of our agents scattered ell over the globe, and impress them with a false idea of their situation and duties. We think that the proceedings to which I alluded, and which a brave officer, full of devotedness for his country, con ceived he could resort to at a moment of danger, might have been dispensed with, that they were unnecessary, and that he had a sufficient force at his disposal to have acted otherwise. Such was our opinion, and we gave it without hesitation ; we thought, that at the very moment alien we firmly asserted our right and the exe-cise of that right, we should tell the truth respecting accessory faults ; we thought that the continuance of our good relations with a friendly Government was well worth the admission of those errors of an agent of the King. We ac cordingly told the truth, and disapproved his conduct." M. Guizot next justified the promise of an imdemnity to Mr. Pritchard, not on account of his expulsion, but because the proceedings which the Government had blamed might have produced the injury and sufferings of which he complained. "We did not admit," he added, " the truth of the facts on his own assertion. We promised to give him an indemnity if his claim were well founded . ; the facts will be verified on the spot by the English and French admirals, and if those facts be such as Mr. Pritchard describes them, the arbitrators will fix the amount of the indemnity." M. Guizot again observed, that the situation in which the Government had found itself, during the . whole transaction, had been extremely serious, having been placed between the alternative of a compromise or a rupture. " The compromise, of which the Chamber knows the conditions," he said, " appeared to us as equitable and proper. The English Go vernment was of the same opinion, and, strange to say, it is at this very moment accused of the same errors and faults with which we have been re preached. As fur us, we do not regret what we have done ; we did not hesitate, nor should we hesitate to-day, if it was to du over again. lam convinced that on the other side of the channel Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen will have the same thoughts and hold the same language that I do, and that they will not either regret what they have done. lam convinced that the two Governments—and I will say the two countries — will congratulate themselves on such a compromise having averted such a rupture." In concluding, M. Guizot de clared that the policy pursued during the last four years had been good and honest, useful to the country, con ducive to its interests, and morally great ; that, in order to succeed, it required the frank and firm support of the great powers of the State, and that if that support failed completely, or was nut sufficiently firm to enable the Ministry to continue that policy with success, he and his colleagues would cease to charge themselvea with it. M. Dufaure followed M. Guizot, and after examining at some length and condemning the conduct of the Ministry in the Otaheite affair, thus concluded :--" It you acquiesce in the approbation which the Committee claims in behalf of the Ministry you will add an evil to an evil ; to the act of the Ministry you will add your own act, the act of the organs of the pepular sentiments of this country. You will declare to the garrison of Otaheite that the indemnity granted to Pritchard was not only accorded by the Government, but that the Chamber of Deputies has accorded it a second time." The discussion having been closed, on the amendment of M. Malleville, the President put it to the vote. Thf result of the first trial was proclaimed doubtful by the secretaries. It was rejected, however, at the second, but by so imperceptible a majority that many pronounced the amendment to have been carried. The assembly then adjourned, amidst the greatest agitation. A correspondent is desirous of calling the attention of the Post office authorities to the great inconvenience experienced by merchants in the heart of the City for want of early intelligi.nce at the Lombard-street office of the arrival of foreign mails, when such arrivals take place after the morning delivery of letters. On Saturday, he states that inquirers could not hear at three o'clock whether the flamburgh mail had arrived or not, although at two o'clock it was announced at St. Martin's-le-Grand that it had. This certainly is an evil ; the communica tion might be made from the chief office to that in Lom bard-street in ten minutes after the arrival of tl.e mail posted at the latter place in the usual way. — Tines. DEATH OF CLAUD ALEXANDER, OF BALLOCII MYLE.—Our readers will regret to learn the sudden and unexpected demi'e of this respected gentleman at Bal loehmyle, on Tuesday last. We have heard 1, we kno w not with what degree of accuracy, that the de ceased will be succeeded in his estates of Ballochmyle by his younger brother, W. M. Alexander, Esq., of South bar, who, we. have been variously informed, either has it in his option to choose betwixt retaining Southbar and accepting Ballochmyle ; or is absolutely bound to relin quish Southbar to his next younger brother, in order to take up the vacant entail. Mr. W. M. Alexander, it is well known, has laid out a very great deal of time and expense in the improvement of the Southbar estate ; the extent being indeed inconceivable to any one unac quainted with that gentleman's taste and talent for agri cultural impr ivement. So that unless the Ballochmyle 'property i 3 vastly superior, the latter alternative would be a hardship probably not contemplated in the original e ntail. — Kilmarnock Journal.

By IDA, COUNTESS HAHN-HAHN. For a testimony to the general merits of this talented writer, the reader is referred to the " Eclinbv.gh Review" of July, 1844. The following are a few of the opinions of the Press on this new work : " A really clever book."—Examiner. " This work is full of interest." —Weekly Chronicle. "It is impossible to deny the charm of this work. It is written with much brilliancy and power."—New Quarterly Review. "We can recommend this as one of the best books of travels we have recently met with."—Messenger. " These letters are made interesting throughout, by the lively and agreeable style in which every topic is treated."—Athenxum.

These are but a few among the numerous grievances prepared for the Conservatives, and which they will hare to submit to in the approaching session ; but as " measures, not men," is our motto, we shall gladly and even gratefully accept all the good we can get at their hands; for why should we quarrel with good, even though it " come out of Nazareth ?" matter, we shall wait for certain intelligence before adverting to it further. But, besides the Otaheite affair, M. GulzoT boasted that in many other trans actions France had got the better of England. He did not broadly state the fact in the same words, but there can be no doubt as to his meaning, and as little doubt that England has come off second best. " When I hear men say," he added, " that cour tesy, regard, good proceedings, mutual advan tages, and concession are not reciprocal be tween the two countries, after what has passed during four years, and particularly during the last six months, I think I am dreaming, for I can hardly conceive that facts should be so perverted or badly understood. I could, if I wished, lay before your eyes the relative situations of France and Eng land, and all the facts relating thereto in all the points of the globe, and you would see that every where the advantages and concessions are reciprocal between the two countries; you would see that wherever we had any object to carry, our policy, so far from losing ground, in consequence of our inti• macy with Great Britain, had rather gained. French influence in Spain, in Africa, in the East, in Greece, in Italy, everywhere in short, has increased." This may be said to conciliate the Chamber, who, by the bye, will not be conciliated, but at the same time it is offensive to England, and certainly not at all calculated to maintain the " entente sordiale." We have no hesitation in saying that the exhibition in the Chamber on Saturday was more hostile to Great Britain than any that has occurred since GUIZOT came into office.

SITTING OF JAN. 27. champion of her successive Governments since the memorable days of July—the most partial ex pounders of their policy—can scarcely exonerate the French nation from the imputation of a proneness to repay our forbearance and good faith towards her with unmeasured dislike, unscrupulous encroach- The Chamber of Deputies resumed the discussion on the third paragraph, the amendment to which was rejected by a show of hands on Saturday. After some remarks from M. Billault, M. Gamier Pager, and other Deputies, the ballot was proceeded with, when there appeared — For the original paragraph Against it ment, and a jealousy, without even decent pre texts for its susceptibility. If better counsels have prevailed over those which such prepossessions would have adopted—if the two empires have not been pre cipitated into that destructive collision for the event of which the war party in France continues to clamour with such reckless insanity—this result has been owing rather, under PROVIDENCE, to the hig'ier moral integrity and political sagacity of a few powerful Ministers, backed by the pacific dispositions and abundant good sense of the KING, than to the statesmanlike wisdom, or the uncompromising honesty of Frenchmen generally, who have been connected with the discussion and administration of public affairs. If the impression of our correspondent be correct, that the scheme of offensive annoyance most cherished by the anti-English party in France is founded on the historical precedent supplied by the destruction of ancient Carthage, as a necessary victim, first, to the jealousy, and, secondly, to the safety of Rome, the " party" on the other side of the water are labouring under that wildest of delusions, which consists in committing one's self to deductions derived from false parallels. Great Britain, with her insular but extensive and influential position, and territorial im portance in the geographical relations of Europe, is little like enough, Heaven knows, to Carthage, with its geographical relations to the coast and terri tory of Africa, and its power of acting upon the king doms of Europe. But modern France infinitely less resembles ancient Rome, we should apprehend, in any of the-elements of that prestige of unchastised military usurpation, and that unforfeited " spoil of empires," which enabled the Supreme Mistress of the civilised world to decree and to execute the iniquitous sentence of destruction—absolute political erasure— against her more cpulent, but weaker rival. This preposterous comparison of France with old Rome, and of Great Britain with the Republic of Carthage, provoked many a smile when hazarded even by NAPO LEON, whose historical information and powers of generalising what facts it had accumulated, were by no means on a par with the extent of his military genius, the grandeur of his ambition, or the pro foundness of his knowledge of mankind. But, look ing to the downfal and hopeless ruin of the vast fabric he had built up, and in the contemplation of which he might be well excused for growing giddy, and being betrayed into occasional extravagances of boasting—we listen with less decorous merriment to one of his persiffiages in the mouths of any French men in 1845. " Fas ext et ab hoste doceri" is, however, a sound, canon of political wisdom. In our application of it we should not he content with having learned the fact, assumed by " A London Merchant," of the inces sant energy of this jealous hatred of England; but we should imitate the example of French prompti tude and animation, in repairing, extending, and con solidating all the arms and forces of our material strength, whenever external causes indicate the ne cessity for such preparation. We have so lately urged this topic on the attention of the public, and more particularly of the Executive Government, in reference to the administration of all naval affairs, and the incessant supervision of our navy and its esta blishments, that we will not now again press it. Besides, we have good ground for believing that this precautionary necessity has long been perceived and acknowledged, and is now acted upon, in the highest and most influential official quarters.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The Chamber of Represents tines continued yesterday the general discussion of the budget of the department of the Interior. The Minister of Justice spoke in defence of the policy of the Ministry. He endeavoured to prove that it had remained faithful to the ideas of moderation and conciliation which it had taken for its motto. M. Delfosse, who spoke after M. Anethan, maintained, on the contrary, that the Ministry had not kept any of the promises which it made on taking office. The Deputy for Liege especially insisted that the Ministry in its very essence—that is, the members who compose it—cannot inspire the country with any confidence. This assertion was combated by'the Ministers of Finance and the Interior. The general discussion was interrupted by an amen dental question. M. Dumortier observed, that if the vote were delayed till after the examination of the several chapters it would not be given. for a fortnight, and he asked if it would not be possible to follow a more rational course. M. Osy, taking advantage of this idea, made a formal motion in the following terms:— " Has the Chamber confidence in the Ministry ? The Minister of the Interior combated this new mode of expressing the blame of the Chambers, and desired time till to-morrow to reflect on the new form proposed by the Deputy for Antwerp. BRUSSELS,‘ JAW. 24.—At the commencement of the sitting of the Chamber to-day the Minister of the Inte rior spoke first on the motion of M. Oak. He took a rapid view of the preceding Acts of the Chamber, to prove that the Chamber has in its power all sufficient means to express its opinion on the Cabinet, without having recourse to any new method. In consequence the Member moved the order of the day on the proposal of M. Osy, and declared that the Cabinet considered this order of the day as a question of its existence, and that it would retire immediately if the order of the day were not adopted. M. Devaux followed the Minister of the Interior. He endeavoured to prove that the method pro posed by M. Osy, to have the opinion of the Chamber was better than the precedents quoted by M. Northomb , because it gave more latitude to opinion. M. Osy, notwithstanding the support he had received from M. Devaux, declared that he withdrew his original motion, and would substitute for it a motion fur an ad dress to the King, in which the Chamber should declare that it had no longer any confidence in the Ministry. It was decided that the vote on this motion should take place immediately after the general debate on the budget. Several ether members spoke ' but the attention of the Chamber was chiefly attracted by a speech of M. Libeau against the Cabinet, and by a reply of the Minister of the Interior, which was applauded by the assembly. A letter from Antwerp of the 24th, says :—" Our quays in the basin next the railway are so crowded with goods intended for Germany (the forwarding of which is delayed by the breach in the tunnel, near Cremptich) that it will soon be impossible to find room for the least thing. It is to be hoped that this inconvenience will be remedied as soon as possible." The director of the railways and several engineers went yesterday to inspect the tunnel, and see what damage had been done. They will meet to-day to con sider how to prevent any further falling in of the earth, Mid adopt means to re-open the communication as soon as possible. We are harpy to say that none of the work men lost their lives. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bzusszt.s, JAN. 24. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent •• •••••• • • • • • • Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent ........

We have accounts from Madrid to the 20th inst. On that day the Reform Bill passed the Senate by a vast majority-74 to 12. The Clergy Endowment Bill also passed the Deputies, so that the business of the session is drawing rapidly to a close. Unfavour able reports are again prevalent of the state of the QUEEN'S health ; and it is even stated by the Cas tellano, that she has been recommended by her phy sicians to try sea-bathing. It is also said, that she will leave Madrid in the course of a month, for a watering-place in the south of Spain, and assist on her way at the ceremonies of the Holy Week, in Seville. _ _ _ The Three per Cents. closed at 31f for cash, and 31i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 23i at 60 days; and the Debt without interest, at 71 at GO days, with premium. The discussion which took place in the French Chamber of Deputies on the indemnity to Mr. PRITCHARD, and the result, are extremely unsatisfac tory. Even according to M. GuizoT's statement, Mr. PRITCHARD had not been justly dealt with. He had been accused of serious offences by the French authorities at Otaheite ; no proofs were furnished that he had been guilty of these offences, yet he was on vague charges ignominiously imprisoned, and ex pelled from the island. " When he was thus treated," said M. GUIZOT, " he demanded that an inquiry be instituted into the facts with which he was charged ; he asked to be tried, and repeated that request after his return to England. He maintained, wrongfully, I believe, that he was a stranger to the explosion of the civil war and to the revolt ; he contends that it would have been impossible to convict him, had he been tried, for want of proof. Our agents at Otaheite did not deem it expedient to adopt such a cour,e. I approve their conduct. I regard th:?ir convic tion respecting the intrigues of Mr. PRITCHARD and the danger of his presence as well founded ; the trial would have been difficult and dangerous, and perhaps productive of no result." This is a strange admission. The Prime Minister of France believes the charges against the Englishman to be well founded, yet is opposed to inquiry, to matters of fact, to a fair trial, because the trial might have been productive of no result. If we are to, be lieve M. BRUAT, his crimes were as clear as the noon day sun ; he had been manifestly guilty of insti gating the natives to murder Frenchmen and en danger the whole of the forces in the island ; he must therefore be punished as a spy, and an agent of re bellion. It really appears that M. GUIZOT had no proofs of his guilt, else why fear that a trial would be difficult and dangerous, and, perhaps, productive of no results. Here is a man punished without trial, yet the paltry indemnity of 1,0001. is grudged by the French Chamber, or perhaps refused, for no vote on the question has been taken, nor can we yet tell what will be the result of a division. From all accounts the majority of the Chamber was for the amendment— hat is, against the indemnity. The question would be formally brought before the Chamber on Monday, when a ballot would be taken, and then the English public would know whether the main condition on which Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Earl of ABERDEEN ac ceded to the terms of M. GUIZOT was disowned by the French Chamber. As this is . rather S serious AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNA, JAN. 18. 5 per Cent.

The Minister of Finance had laid before the Chamber of Deputies his budget for the year ending June, 1846, I and it appears that if the estimates of income and ex penditure be well founded, that there will be a surplus in favour of the State of very nearly 40,000 milreis. This unquestionably is the first time, for years past, that such x favourable erpose of the resources of Portugal has shown such a favourable indication. There appears to be a general desire, on the part of the Portuguese, to aid the Government, as far as possible, in improving the resources of the country, and tranquillity having existed for some time past, the good fruits of such a state of things is in progress of almost daily deve lopment. The Ministry appears to have exer cised a sound discretion in the expenditure of the Board of Public Credit. But tho secret has at length been let out, that the interest upon the Home Debt is considerably larger than upon the Foreign Debt. The figures stand thus for the former -1,476,695 ; and for the latter-1,392,246 milreis It would be much to the advantage of the credit of Portugal were something like a definite account rendered of the real amount of the Home Debt, as, by such means, more confidence might be placed in the Government. As far as respects the Foreign Loans, the amounts raised are known with accuracy. We have further accounts from the United States ; but although there had been further meetings of the different States' Legislatures, we do not find that, with the exception of Pennsylvania, there will be any amount set apart for the payment of arrears of dividends upon the loans contracted in this country or elsewhere. Still, if the private advices are to be credited, there is a slight disposition shown to advance a step in the right direction, and although in most instances direct taxation on land, &c., has been most emphatically eschewed, there are symptoms that in order that the stigma of repudiation should be removed, a revenue from such sources as have just been mentioned will be sub mitted to. The accounts from the Cape of Good Hope and from Graham's Town are late in point of date. It is very satisfactory to find that the frontier was in a quiet , state, the laffres having refrained from depredations —thanks, however, to the measures taken by the Go vernor in strengthening the military post: on the line of demarcation. The natives are represented as being more industrious, and desirous of cementing a lasting friendship with the colonists. The cultivation of the lands of the colony was rapidly on the increase, and the breeding of sheep also. In the Public Securities there has not been any very large operations reported this morning; As the settle ments in the Foreign Stocks and in Shares are near at hand, there is a trifling increase in the demand for capi tal. The Three per Cent. Consols have been sold at a traction under par. and Consols for the Account at 1004 and at 100.

Now Conservatism is by no means entitled to this merit. Whatever benefit it may have been the means of conferring on the country, has been conferred most reluctantly; and only at the stern, authoritative command of its inexorable taskmaster. Think of the sulky, dogged resistance which many of its members made to the passing of the Canada Corn Bill; the ill-disguised reluctance with which they consented to the slightest alterations in the Tariff; and the ludicrous alarm and horror with which they heard Sir ROBERT PEEL enunciate his well-known free-trade maxim— namely, that it is good to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market ! All that the country has gained of late years—that is to say, since the accession of the present Ministry to office—has been gained, not by Conservative influence, but in spite of it—by the Premier, who well knows his men, acting on their fears and their vigilant sense of self-interest, whose eyes, unlike those of Argus, are never closed. In the session which is now close at hand, and which we foresee will be a tempestuous one, probing the sincerity of Conservatism to the quick, this ill-assorted party will he called on to play a far more decided part than it has yet played, and will, as a ne cessary consequence, be involved in not a few ludicrous embarrassments and perplexities. Thus, while a vast number of its members hold strong opinions on the subject of Irish education, and the institution of a more liberal system, they will either be compelled to give way to Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has given certain pledges on these matters, which of course he will re deem ; or, if they turn restive, and refuse to be dragged captive at his triumphant chariot-wheels, they will be exposed to the cruel mortification of seeing the hungry Whigs rush over from bleak Opposition to the bland region of the Treasury bench, whose rivers flow with milk and honey, and whose boas es and fishes are never known to fail. Again, many of them, it is well known, entertain the most decided opinions possible on the question of the Game-laws, which they look on as the pride of the British Gan- 1.., 0 3 f . ;.! IN . LATER RO=4 TTIE UNITED. STATES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY NIGHT. Two arrivals from the United States have reached here to-day—the packet ship Ashburton, Captain Huddlestone, which sailed from New York on the Bth, and the Sea, Captain Edwards, which left the same city on the 10th. These arrivals brinv intelligence eight days in advance of the previous arrival. The news from Mexico, which is later than that brought by Mr. Cushing, shows that the case of Santa Anna is hopeless. A revolution, perfectly bloodless, had been effected in the city of Mexico ; the troops of Santa Anna, at the head of which W2S Canalizo, to the number of 2,000, had shut themselves up in the palace, a decree signed by that officer for dissolving Congress having been previously issued. The senators and deputies met, protested against the decree, and denounced the Government of Santa Anna. Sixty-five deputies, and all the senators, except four, signed the protest. In the meantime, the revolutionary movement was strengthened by the accession of the clergy and the Liberals; and, at the head of the populace, General Herrera forced the palace, seized Canalizo and tlie leading personages attached to Santa Anna's Government, and on the day following—namely, the 7th of December—the new Government, at the head of which is Herrera, was organized, and the names of the new Cabinet were announced by proclamation. According to the New Orleans Bee, the new Ministry is composed of the most able and honest men in the country. Around it are said to be arrayed all the wealth, power, and influence of the republic. These proceedings were followed by great rejoicing. Messages of congratulation passed between the two Houses of Congress, and the new President received the congratulations of that body and of the leading citizens. Congress had outlawed Santa Anna, who was still, where the former accounts had left him, at Queretaro. The new Government offers him no terms short of his paying *the twelve millions of dollars which he is alleged to have squandered. This movement, the United States papers seem to think, will strengthen, rather than otherwise, the public feeling in Mexico against the annexation of Texas to the American union. The State Legislatures of New York and Massa chusetts had been opened by their respective Go vernors in messages which vie in prolixity with those of the President himself. The financial accounts show that the resources of each State are ample, and their condition prosperous. The trial of Bishop Onderdonk, the Protestant Episcopal Prelate of New York, had terminated in his suspension. He was accused of a variety of un becoming familiarities with females of his diocese-- the wives and daughters of his own clergymen, and others. No absolute criminality appears to have been established, but enough was proved of his moral un fitness for the situation which he held. Nine Bishops voted for suspending the accused, and eight against it. The suspension, it is said, will be perpetual. The New York journals record the case of a judge who got into a squabble in a " rummery" (a kw public-house), at Brooklyn, opposite the city of New York, and in the melee received a black eye, with which graceful accompaniment he was seen next day sAting on the judicial bench, sentencing to fine and imprisonment wretches brought before him for drunken ness ! The annexation of Texas was still before the House of Representativ es, but little progress seems to have been made with it. Indeed, the proceedings in Con gress possess no interest on this side of the Atlantic. The news from Texas says that President Houston, on retiring from the presidency, had been compli mented by the Senate, and that his successor, Pre sident Jones, had filled all the principal offices. A great number of emigrants were finding their way into Texas. The prospects of the cotton crop in that country were good. 5,000 bales were in store at Galveston. The mortality amongst the fish from the east end of ong Island to the Capes of Virginia, extending from the coast into the sea for a distance of three miles, has caused some consternation ; along the in fected district millions of dead fish are daily thrown up; the cause is unexplained.

The registrar said the de tention of seamen's register tickets was going on to a very great extent, and people were beginning to traffic in them in open violation of the law. It was absolutely necessary that people should know the severe re nalties they were incurring. He had already registered thir teen thousand seamen for the merchant service in the port of London, and as many tickets had been issu d. Mr. Broderip said if the tickets were net restored, the summonses would be granted to the seamen on making the application. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, then made an application on behalf of seven seamen, whose register tickets had been illegally detained by the master of a ship. The men had signed articles to proceed on a coasting voyage to Poole, and delivered the register tickets belonging to them to the master of the vessel, which, from some cause or ether, had been detained for seventeen days in the river, and it was uncertain when she would sail. The men's clothes were also on board, and they were detained on shore, knocking about, sub ject to great privations. Mr. Broderip said the men would be entitled to their wages from the period of the , r signing the articles, and also to compensation if the master broke the contract. He would act in this case as in the last, and direct an officer to wait upon the captain of the ship, and if he could assign no satisfactory reason for detaining the tickets, he would issue the summonses as a matter of course. Woomvien, JAN. VT.—The Lightning steam vesse4, Master-Commander W. Petley, left Woolwich this morning for Sheerness to tow the Havannah, 38-gun frigate, from that port to Deptford. Experi mental trials were made down the river in the Rattler steam-vessel, Commander Henry Smith, on Wednesday, with Mr. Steinman's propeller, when a speed of 9.45 knots per hour was obtained ; and on Thursday with Mr. F. P. Smith's propeller, the same in principle as has been applied to the Great Britain steam-vessel, and the speed obtained was 9.635 knots per hour, the engines making 26.98 strokes per minute. The Rattler is to be finally fitted with Mr. Smith's propeller for sea service. Experiments are ordered to be carried on at. Portsmouth with shells fired from the Excellent gunnery-ship, Cap tain Sir Thomas Hastings, Knt., against the Swiftsure, a 74- gun ship, recently employed as a receiving ship at Portsmouth, and the Leviathan, a 72-gun ship, recently employed as a convict ship at the same port. The num ber of shells to be experimented with is 300, and they have all been prepared in the Royal Arsenal at Wool wich, and were forwarded on Thursday last in one of the Ordnance lighters for Portsmouth. Sixty of the shells have been fitted with fuzes on Captain Norton's prin eiple; eighty shells with fuzes on IA ilton's princip' e ; eighty shells with fuzes invented by Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C.B. ; and. 80 shells with fuzes invented by Mr. James Marsh. The experiments are expected to take place 'about the middle of February. The new barge, fitted with Mr. Fouler ton's manceuvrer, was tried it: the basin at Woolwich Dock% ard on W. dnesday, and made a complete revolution in hes than four and a halt minutes, with ten men at the winch. The depth of the immer sion of the barge in the water was 3 ft. 9 in. forward, and 4 ft. 2 in. aft ; and thy- lc-ngth of the vessel 70 feet. The result gave great satisfaction to the professional gen tlemen present. and they consider the it..ention a very valuable acquisition to sailing vessels. The Apollo trorp ship, Commander W. Maclean, was reported off Mar gate on the 23(1 instant, with two cempenies of the Royal Artillery on board, Captain Nevett's. from the lonian Island.. and Captain Smith's, from Malta ; and she is Lour!) , expected to land them at head-quart-rs at Woolwich. The Mountstewart Elphinstone, hire-d vessel, 387 tons, under the charge of James Gordon, surgeon, dropped down the river on Friday from Deptford to moorings off the Dockyard, Woolwich, where she will take on board convicts for Van Dieman', Land.
