Winter having now commenced, even the most sanguine amongst ns can no longer cherish an ex pectation of receiving, at least daring the next quarter, any intelligence of the Arctic expedition. Hitherto all searches after the missing adventurers have proved ineffectual. Attempt after attempt has been made; and all to no avail whatever, to meet with the sur vivors. Vessels have returned from those regions of everlasting ice, one after another, without bringing honie any, even the faintest token, by which we might still remain sanguine as to the ultimate discovery of the ab3ent navigators. Whalers have come back laden with the spoils of the sea leviathans, but void of all indications of having encountered the stray com panions of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. Carrier pigeons have flown homewards through a distance of many hundreds of miles, but still without conveying even a single scrap of information, satisfactory or otherwise. The regions of the snows and:of the icebergs have remained dumb to all'our inquiring investigations. The muteness of iive, years has followed the depar ture of the gallant seamen about whose fate the nation is at length beginning to entertain feelings of such profound anxiety. - It would be well if henceforward precautionary arrangements could be made in connexion with all such e xpeditions —'arrangements of such a character as would be the best safeguard against their destruction. Our meaning may be best exemplified by an illustration taken from the most memorable exploit of modern, and perhaps of ancient times—the expedition into Russia. adventured upon in 1812 by the Emperor NAP91.7,0N. In all the authentic narratives that have ever been written of that amazing achievement, we are informed that from the day when the invader left Paris to the day when he entered Moscow, from the morning when he set out from the palace of the Tul!eries to the morning when he rose from his first night's repose in the palace of the Kremlin, the cou riers came and went each day with the regularity of mechanism between the imperial head quarters and the home Government. Once every day NAPOLEON received from Paris a budget of disratctees. • Once every day he returned his answers to that correspond ence. Sometimes the communications were still more frequent, especially messengers occasionally succeed- ing each other at an interval of only two or three hours' duration. In this manner the great EMPEROR was enabled at the same time to conduct the labours of the campaign against ALEXANDER, and to preside over the acts of internal administration. In one di rection he acted upon the fortunes of war through his ducal and sometimes royal lieutenants, in the other he influenced the proceedings of Government through his couriers and secretaries. The consequence of all this was, that NAPOLEON was enabled to render his energies in n manner übiquitous throughout Eu rope, extending eastwards as far as the advanced lines of the invading army, and westwards to the extre mities of his gigantic dominions : in the north to the suburbs of Altona, and in the south to the suburbs of Convento. His personal policy was thereby continued as the motive power, directing the civil and social, as well as the aggressive and military affairs of his empire. This state of things continued, indeed, up to the moment when the elements, with the permission of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, combined together for his destruction; when, with a saddened heart, he gave the signal for retreat—driven back not by the hand of man, not by the sword of the Celle or by the lances of the Cos sacks, but by the flames of Moscow, and by the hor rors of a Russian winter unexampled in its premature and rigorous character. Throughout the history of his extraordinary career it may be seen that he inva riably paid the most scrupulous attention to that first of all the requirements of generalship, the main tenance of the line of communications. It has been especially particularised by one of his most faithful and intelligent officers, one who, after remaining with him six years in his exile, at Longwood, and with his nephew six years in his imprisonment at Ham, happily still survives to recognise the gratitude of the French nation to the memory of the EMPEROR —it has been especially particularised, we say, by General MoNTnoLoN, how NAPOLEON continued to keep open his line of communications in every one of his fourteen immortal campaigns. Caution was thus rendered the basis of his operations, even of those exploits of the most audacious character. And never was this forethought more signally displayed than i❑ the arjangements preceding and accompanying his famous Russian expedition. Inspired by this pre cautionary sentiment of regard for the maintenance of his line of communications, NAPOLEON managed, as we have already intimated, to receive at regular inter vals every day's post from his capital. Like GOLD-. SMITIi'S " Traveller," he continued, in all his wander ings into the remotest provinces of Russia, to " Drag at each remove a lengtheni❑g chain!" This intimate union between the imperial head quarters and the imperial metropolis of NAPOLEON was brought about by a very simple and comprehen sible device, a device by which the distance interven• log between the two was effectually annihilated as far as the conduct of the affairs of Government was con cerned. As the main army of invaders advanced farther and farther into Russia, military posts were established at fixed interva:s and in convenient localities, soldiers being left behind at each spot with provisions and all other means and appliances where with to live in their new and temporary abodes—these military posts being employed as resting places for the couriers, affording them protection, nourishment, and relays of horses. What completes the marvel of this singular narrative, and testifies to the accuracy of NAPOLEON'S forethought, is the fact, the astonishing and unquestionable fact, that up to the time when Moscow was consumed by the confla gration not one of the couriers dispatched from NAPOLEON to Paris, or from Paris to NAPOLEON, had miscarried, not one had failed in arriving at the appointed hour with his dispatches. All this was accomplished, be it remembered, not among the citron-groves or the olive-gardens of a southern cli mate, but among the woods and morasses of Lithu ania, in the brown and sterile wilderness of that Russia whose soil is leas frequently clothed with greenness of even an evanescent verdure than whitened with the frost of an almost uninterrupted winter. From what we have here remarked it must be evi dent that we would witness the adoption of some such a course as that pursued by NAPOLEON in his Rus sian campaign, if we would guard against the destruc tion too often threatening our navigators in the conduct of our Arctic expeditions. By following in some measure the northern coast of the American continent, and by establishing at specified distances posts for the maintenance of communications, there would scarcely remain a possibility for any such prolonged isolation as that which has befallen Sir Jour; FRANKLIN and his com panions. True, that the expenses of such an expedi tion of discovery would be thereby increased, but at the same time its dangers would also be thereby di minished. A sense of security would follow our heroic mariners into their Arctic solitudes, sustaining them in the midst of the most severe and protracted tribulations. Our suggestion is comprised in these few sentences, and we would here leave it to be di gested by other judgments, and to be conned over in maturer consideration. It is not often that we find either instruction or profit from the bucolic gatherings 'yclept " Farmers' Clubs." The eloquence on such occasions is generally of an uniform description—a strik ing similarity may be observed in all the speeches. If of a sufficiently gloomy and sombre character, they will be cheered to the echo—if the ambitious orator declares that the sun of England's glory set with the repeal of the corn-laws, that nothing can save the country from bankruptcy and ruin but the restoration of protective enactments, or (following the new and more artful dodge) the imposition of import duties not for the purposes of protection (oh, no, no such thing would be accepted! !) but of revenue—if he succeed in mak ing the flesh creep and the hairs stand on end on the heads of his auditors, be will be greeted with rap turous and enthusiastic bursts of applause, and re garded as a fitting candidate on the first vacancy in the representation of the county. It is almost impossible to conceive the satisfaction with which certain persons receive the intelligence of the wrongs and injuries to which they have been subjected. Convince a man that he is oppressed and ill-treated, that the losses he has sustained may be ascribed not to his own acts of omission or commission, not to his own negligence or apathy, but to causes over which he had no control, and you are sure of an attentive and sympathising listener. His appetite may not be impaired he may still make a huge hole in the sirloin, and quaff bumpers pottle-deep from the foaming tankard, hut he will mingle lamentations for his fallen condition with the enjoyment of these creature comforts. He will utter touching Jeremiads while proving himself to be an unequalled consumer. He will " Eat and sigh— Eat and sigh— Eat and sigh—and eat again." We remember to have heard of an exceedingly elo quent and popular barrister who, when stating the case of an injured client, was astonished at the effect produced on one of the audience; deep sobs burst from his heaving bosom ; heartrending groans filled up every pause, until at length, e'er the conclusion of the oration, he sank into his seat overwhelmed with the intensity of his emotions. The mystery was, however, speedily solved. At the conclu s i on o f t h e trial, the " man o f feeling " rushed up to the talented advocate, and introducing himself as his client, cried, with startling emphasis, " Sir, you have not said a single word that is not the naked truth, hut, by -, I never knew before that I was half so ill-used." So it is with the agri culturists. They listen with delight to the glowing pictures of their misery and sufferings, while gorged to repletion, they look forward without dismay to the prospect of speedy destitution, and laud to the skies the orator who persuades them that they are a thousand times worse used than they had ever ;yen previously. But there are exceptions to every general rule, and we are happy to notice the tone and character of the proceedings at the Burton. on-Trent Warmers' Club, There was no over At the Queen's Hotel, on Thursday. whining, no puerile lam en t a ti ons du.lnarthe ane l f l ! monopoly. The excellent chairman, GISBORZIE, who within as well as without the walls of Psrliaront has ever been the faithful and consistent friend of liberal in stitutions, of ever y j ust and salu t.-Ty reform, directed their attention to the real causes cf the depressed condition of agriculture, and the points to which they should direct their exertions in order to obtain legislative relief, and that in a manner THE SUN, which cannot be objectionable or injurious to any class of their fellow-citizens, which would afford real protec- tion to every description of British industry. The Hon. Gentleman said " that he had begun to farm in the palmy days of agriculture, and had received 20e. a bushel for his wheat, and sold mutton for lid. per pound. He remembered haggling for, and rather reproaching himself, with reference to the last-mentioned price, for not insisting on the other penny." Was this during the days of corn-laws or protective imposts ? No, indeed ! No such prices were obtained since that iniquitous code came into operation. The period is, however, identified by the statement that " shortly afterwards the Bill was passed restoring the currency standard, and instead of paying 145., 20s. worth had to be paid for the 11. note." The real effects of this impolitic and inequit able measure were clearly and distinctly explained by Mr. GISBOENB. He said, "they would see what a blow this was to every debtor in the kingdom. The landed interest always was, and always must be, the debtor interest, as land was the foundation of all security. They all knew the tenacity with which the people clung to the land in this country, and the extent to which they charged it with incumbrances in preference to selling it. Every man who charged his estate with 11. notes, worth 14s. at the time, had to pay 20s. worth of gold for them, and he would ask whether this was not a heavy blow to agriculture 1" The Hon. Gentleman truly added, "never had there been so odious a thing done as took place in 1819, with reference to the public debt. In 1814 as much gold as was contained in 500,000,000 of sovereigns would have paid it. And yet in 1819 the Legislature declared that it could not be paid off with less gold than was contained in 800,000,000 cf sovereigns. This made the burdens of peace heavier than those of war, and he had no hesitation in saying that the burdens imposed on the agriculture of England during a long period of peace were heavier than during the war." This is indeed i the truth. Its accuracy is unquestionable. It can , not be controverted or denied. What then is the remedy ? Palpably the re-enactment of the monetary code, under which all classes, notwithstanding the heavy war expenditure, enjoyed such real prosperity. The sentiments enunciated by Mr. GISBORNE elicited una nimous approbation; but we must remember that it was in Derbyshire, the county which has been en . lightened by the teaching of the Rev. NOUN TWELLS, who has shown to the farmers in his vicinity the true nature of the evils under which they are suffering, the grievances by which they are oppressed. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals cf Saturday and yesterday. Notwithstanding the boast in the PRESIDENT'S Message, of the great reduction that had been effected in the army, and the promise that still further reduc tions should be made in the military forces, we End, in the Moniteur of yesterday, a decree for adding 40,000 men to the army, by calling out the remainder of the levy for 1849. The decree i , preceded by the following report of the Minister of War : " Monsieur le President,—ln presence of the political events which agitate Germany, and although the Co vert ment is firmly decided, as is stated in your message, to observe the strictest neutrality so long as the interest of France and the equilibrium of Europe should not be compromised, it would bo a measure of precaution to assemble in the territorial divisions of the north and the east a number of troops, sufficient to provide against all eventualities. " I have the honour to submit to your approbation a project of a decree, which will call into active service 40,000 of the 78,500 young soldiers still disposable of the contingent of the class of 184t1. " These young soldiers will be principally attached to the regiments of infantry placed in the above-mentioned divisions, to raise their effective strength to 2,500 men, and as according as may be required to the other corps of the same branch of the service. _ _ . " As to the cavalry, its effective being in general suf ficient, and particularly in the northern and eastern divi sions, where the number of the regiments is considerable enough, it will only receive but a very small proportion of the men now called out. _ " The expenses resulting from this increase of the effective force will give rise to a Bill which will be soon submitted to your approbation and presented to the Na tional Assembly. " Accept, Monsieur le President, the assurance of my profound respect." The object of this sudden increase in the military force is thus explained in the Constittaionnel; " lip to the present the struggle lay especially be tween the Sovereigns, the people being no more than spectators. Circumstances have charged this state of things by setting fire in all directions to national pride, by awakening patriotic susceptibilities, and by causing popular passions to enter into the disagreements of crowned heads. In a word, all Germany is in arms; it becomes, therefore, no.lessary that France should com plete her military effective. The Government has pro claimed in the Message the neutrality of France so long as French interests should not be compromised; but it is necessary to be in a position, under all circumstances, to make this neutrality be respected. Such is the object of the calling out of a part of the class of 1849." The Constitutionnel of Saturday contains a ferocious attack on M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, hitherto one of the great idols of the party of order, and who, through good report and through evil report,bas been the fides Achates of M. TIIIERS ; together they car ried on an opposition to M. GUIZOT ' together they organized the reform banquets, and together they coalesced with the parti-pretre to betray the Re public ; this attack therefore upon M. DAVERGIER in the Bonapartist organ would seem to announce a split between M. TIMES and the Elysee. The report of the Committee on the affairs of M. YON has been delayed for eight days, in order to afford M. BAROCUE an opportunity of consulting with M. DUPIN on the subject; the victory in this case will most probably remain with the Elysee. The National has the following observations on this sub. ject : "Is M. Yon to be reinstated or dismissed? A grand question; for it is as if some one were to say—will the permanent committee and the bureau of the Legisletive Assembly allow themselves to be mocked by M. Curlier? M. Carlier punishes M. Yon for haying taken on him self to warn M. Dupin that certain persons wanted to assassinate him. For, the Prefect of Police mint sins that' n no one intended assassinating M. Dupin, and that in any case he ought to be informed of it only with the consent of the Prefect. The bureau met on Thursday to delihera:e on this great metier, out already opinions were divided; the pure Parliamentists heed lost nothing of their animosity, but the Benapartists were looking up, and began to say that a conflict was near; that it INS. Yon was to be paid, M. Carlier would be of fended; that, it he were offended, the President of the Republic would be displeased, and the country endan gered. The bureau determined to send a deputation to M. Earache. The representative at the head of it, M. J. de Lasteyrie, was vehement, but M. Baroche was indig nant, and the great reason of the conflict gave him an irreeistiblc eloquence. Yesterday the great Minister ap peared before the Committee of Parliamentary Initiative, and cbaunted the same air in a milder tone. M. Yon is not to lose his salary, for the Municipal Committee has voted it. It is true that M. Carlier has suspended its payment, but that is a miserable matter to occupy the attention of a great Assembly. Besides, has the Legis lative Assembly the right to pay with its own funds a commissary of police? M. Baroche requires, in order to bo sure of it, to read over again the Constitution, and he asks a week to do so. That time was granted, and the salary of M. Yon hangs on a thread. The members of the committee had to employ all their eloquence in causing their colleauges of the Assembly to swallow the week. They have acted like M. Baroche; they have flung themselves into a conflict. A conflict! That is a word which says more than might be imagined. It says all that M. Baroche may think fit. That conflict, if M. Baroche desires, will give us at least a prolongation of powers.—P.S. It is stated that MM. Leila, Baze, and De Panat, terrified at the idea of leading to a conflict be tween M. Carl* and the Legislative Assembly, are on the point of withdrawing their proposition." The Minister of Finance presented to the Assem bly on Saturday a project of law for the purchase by the State of the shares in the different canal companies. On Friday, the Committee of the Department of the Seine, appointed by the French Government to determine on the admission or rejection of objects presented for the purpose of being sent to the Great London Exhibition of 101, by the manufacturers and tradesmen of Paris, held a meeting at the Hotel de Ville. The Prefect of the Seine presided. The meeting having been constituted, M. HERICART DE THURT was elected Vice-President, and M. I3ouraoze its secretary. It then proceeded to regulate the order of its labours, after which it adjourned to the lath of the present month, when it will commence the examination of the articles destined for the Ex hition. The committee consists of 2a members. There were a considerable number of Bourse speculators assembled in the Passage de l'Opera to day.

The reply of Austria to the Prussian pro- positions has been received, and is favourable. The Court of Vienna concedes to the Prussian Cabinet the non-recognition de jure of the old Con federation, but still the Frankfort Diet is to be the organ of that body de facto. The Prussian troops are allowed to occupy part of Hesse. Nevertheless a Federal army will proceed to ;he pacification of Hesse as well as of Holstein. In the course of this intervention the Prussian roops will be allowed to remain on the Etappe roads. Orders have been dispatched to stop the advance of he Federal troops in Hesse, so as to prevent a collision. The New Gazette of Prussia contains the follow ing : "We are credibly informed from Vienna that the Austrian Government will declare that it is prepared to stop its armaments, and to limit itself to tlose;already made, if Prussia will pursue a similar course." The Cologne Gazette exhibits great displeasure at the withdrawal of the Prussian troops from Hesse Cassel. The following is an extract on the subject from that journal : " The order of M. de Manteuffel to evacuate Electoral Hesse came like a clap of thunder on the Prussian troops of Frankfort, as well as on the public generally. The comedy played by the Ministry is evident—magnilo quent phrases, a call to arms of the whole country, then retreat—then submission. This is too much. Prince Gortschakoff assumed an attitude here as if the Holy Alliance of Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh was in existence, and the differences between Prussia and Austria were all settled. We believe that the policy of M. de Manteuffel—that cf peace at any price—will be the Prussian constitution. The evacuation of Electoral Hesse is a dangerous symptom." The Berlin correspondent of the Journal des Debats thus describes the effect produced in that city by the yielding of the King of Paussra : " The news of the acceptance by the King of the pro positions of Austria has produced hero a profound and very painful impression, and never, even in 1847 and 1848, have we seen Berlin in such an excessive state of excitement as it is at present. The Bourse, however, is very firm; the realization of profits has alone checked the upward movement of the funds. Speculators believe, then, in the maintenance of peace, notwithstanding the formidable armaments which continue to be made .throughouut Germany. The Saxon at my has been put on a war footing, and clispa•ches from Munich an nounce the mobilisation of the reserves of the land wehr, fee." • The Prince of PRUSSIA is expected at Frankfort. It is said he will take the command of the army in the western provinces. The National Gazette of Berlin of the 12th says— " The order given to M. DE ILADOWITZ to proceed to England for the purpose of examining the military system existing there, and in particular that of the artillery, has been interpreted in the sense of peace. On one side is seen acencession made to Russia and Austria, and, on the other, the machination of a party dreading the influence of a man who does not share in its absolutist ideas. The audience granted to M. DE PROSESII on Sunday by the KING appears to have terminated in the sense of his party. Prussia will leave the Germanic Diet free to act in Electoral Hesse and in the Duchies, for the purpose of obtaining free conferences and the right of union within the limits of Art, 9 of the federal party, but not the recognition of the Union." The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Frank furt of the 13th which says:—" The entry of the Ba varian troops into Cassel was announced prematurely. To-day all is doubtful. It was said at Hamm that the Prussians had evacuated Hersfeld. A Bavarian battalion left Hanau to-day, taking the direction of Fulda which causes it to be supposed that they are marching on Caesel." The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from Henan of the 13th, which states that the Court was making preparations to return to Cassel. The same journal states from Fulda that the federal troops had remained there to the 12th. , The next day a detach-. ment was to proceed from Hunefeld to Bebra ; in three days they were to proceed to Cassel. General GRCEBEN had addressed a letter of excuse to Prince DR LA Tours ET TAILS relative to the collision which took place near Brouzell. It is said that 20,000 Russians have entered Hungary. Advices have been received from Vienna of the 13th. The Austrian army is, it is said, by no means in such a forward state of preparation as had been re • presented, and therefore Prince SCHWARZENBURGII is temporising with Prussia to gain time. HATNAU arrived 'at Vienna on the 11th. Councils of war are held every day. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 14th has the following from Vienna of the 11th:— " The actual strength of the corps d'arin‘e, under the command of General ' Wratislaw, on the Bohemian- Saxon frontier, is returned at 42,000 men. " The number in Moravia between Olmufa and Trop pau, is 58,000 men. " All the fresh reinforcements go off to Moravia, where it appears that Austria intends to concentrate its chief forces. The borderers from Croatia, who arrived a few days since, proceeded further with evident reluc tance. Nearly all the borderers are married men. The Hungarian war has thinned their ranks dreadfully, and in many districts there are colonies of widows and young children. " Jellachich's proclamation met with a cold reception. " There are divers reports in circulation here, but the best informed men consider that war is inevitable. " Mr. Appert, the great prison reformer, has received a very satisfactory answer from the Minister of War, in reply to his proposals for improving the condition of the political prisoners at Kusstein. Mr. Appert set out yesterday for Italy, to examine the state of the prisons there." The plan of operations againt Prussia, which has been drawn up in the Military Chancellery of Austria is, according to the statements of the BrPslaster Zeitung, based on strategical necessities, which are equally obligatory to all generals, and its chief features are consequently by no means likely to re main a secret. It appears that it is intended to make an attack simultaneously on the Rhine, in Saxony, and in Silesia. The federal army at Frank fort is to consist of Austrian, Bavarian, and Wurtemberg troops under the command of the King of WURTEMBERG, who holds the rank of an Austrian Field-Marshal, and who will be instructed to occupy Nassau and Electoral Hesse, and then to threaten and eventually to occupy the Rhenish provinces and a nd Br a a irs n m de yo n f b utri the greatest b y Westphalia. This army will not exceed the strength of 70,000 men, while the chief army in Bohemia will muster 120,000 Austrian and Saxish troops; under Marshal RADETZSKT, end will make a quick move upon which means they would it once obtain possession of the Prussian capital. For the purposes of this attack the king domMagdeburg another army of 80,000 greatest importance. ' WRATISLAW and the Arch is thus advancing against to attack Silesia with the Countl although still operating in con tANgdnhvuerueexhksaiietotl Austrians, greatest twfnt Prussian is impetuosity, :tusShi underaaa cutc o hi n u ee ef ' Saxony, in such a manner that while WRATISL&W' S corps covere d th e flank of RaracrasT s army, it w ou ld at t h e same ti me operate in the rear of that corps, and storm the fortresses of the provinces of Silesia. Serious doubts have, however, been expressed respecting the Ger man Federal troops, which are partly infected with the liberal ideas of the time—a circumstance which might possibly lead to the most disastrous results. The plan of operation, which has been drawn up by the Feldoeugmeister HESS, has consequently b een formed with a view to the ra pidity of signal successes, by which Austria hopes to dazzle and entice her vacillating confederates. The Austrian generals, too, would prefer a winter cam paign to the delay until spring, for they rely on th e power of endurance of th e Austrian troops, while they believe that the Prussian Landwehr would suffer from the privations and the severity of the season. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A cannonade was heard along the whole of the Rendsburg line on the 14th at Hamburgh, but the result was not known when the last accounts left. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Tor. 15.---The disp ute , which aro se at the opening of the se :sion of the Ctrandlluchy o f Luxembourg is expected to b e settled amicably. It appears that the President, apprehensive lest s ome accident might occur on o ccasion of the g reat crowds assembled IN h en Prince LIENnT came to t a k e the oaths, sent a message t o t h e ca p tain of the Guards to order out a body of s oldiers. The ca p t ain , instead of complying with this order, said that he would send him two men and no more. This reply waa considered by the President as a personal insult, and great indignation was expressed, both by himself and the Chambers ; but it appears that the captain in command considered a simple message from the President informal, and it is thought that his view of the case was just, This ex • planation will, it is believed, induce a favourable set tlement. of this affair, which caused such angry feel mg.--nttrh Papers. T URKEY. FROM THE BOSNIA% FRONTIER. The sieg e o f Mostar was to commence on t h e I st inst. The insurgents of Vognizza have received a mortal blow from the Seraskier. In co nse q uen ce of this &feat the inhabitants of Mostar p etitioned fo r en amnesty, and declared themselves r e a d y to acce pt the conditions proposed by the PORTE. Immed iately after the ratification of the act of subjection, the Seraskier will proceed to Travnick to quell the in surrection which has broken out at Carinthia. Accounts from Bulgaria state that the Christian population are in go actual enjoyment of all the pri- Tileges promised them by the PORTE ; that the con- cessions guaranteed by the PORTE are not, as usual, paper promises, but carried out to the letter. The ra)abs now enjoy precisely the same privileges as the Turks. This state of things is said to be entirely owing to the justice and humanity of UESCHID PACHA. —Prussian Stoats Anzeiger. ITALY.

ELECTION OF LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY oa GI assow.—FlSlDAY.—This morning, at ten o'clock, the professors and students assembled in the Common-hall, which was soon filled. After prayer by the Principal, Professor Ram say was elected clerk. The names of the matriculated mem bers having been called over, they divided, according to nations, into different class-rooms to record their votes. The following is the result : Lord Palmerston. Sheriff Alison. Nat. Loudoniana Transforthana 23 49 Glottiana Rothseiana 225 .. 281 The Principal then announced that, in consequence of their being an equality of nations, and from Mr. Macaulay, the present Lord Rector, not having been installed during the last year of his rectorship, it would be necessary that he should appear to give his casting vote. Meetings of the Liberal and Conservative students were afterwards held, at which both parties congratulated themselves on the result. EXTRAORDINARY REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—The following remarkable incident, illustrative of the caprice of fortune, occurred on Saturday last, at Gloucester-place, Kentish-town. It seems that a distraint bad been levied on the premises by the landlord, for arrears' of rent, tolthe amount of 80L, for which sum the whole of the household fur niture had been condemned, and placed in two vans, prepa ratory to removal, with the exception of a chest of drawers, of rather antique appearance, which had been left to the last from mere accident, when, in locking one of the drawers, a small paper parcel was discovered, which, on being opened was found to contain no less a sun than 114 old gunieas, of the reign of George 111. It is impossible to describe the sur prise of each party on making the discovery. It is hardly necessary to add that the claim was soon discharged, and the furniture returned to its former position, much to the gratifi cation of every one concerned. • THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN IM A Cis.—On Saturday, Police-sergeant Parkes, accom panied by Mr. William Alexander, of Hungerford, waited upon the coroner, and informed him that Mr. Alexander identified the body of the deceased gentleman as that .of Mr. Symes, late surgeon in Hungerford. Mr. Alexander stated that the deceased accompanied him to London on the 9th inst., and left him, in apparently the best possible spirits and quite sober, in Regent-circus, in the evening of the same day. He heard no more of deceased until he read in the public journals the account of his mysterious death. - - The solicitors of the " Woods and Forests" have received instructions to give the necessary Parliamentary notices preparatory to the introduction of a Bill to extin guish the right of the Crown to stock the New Forest in Hampshire with deer and other wild beasts of the forest, and to empower her Majesty to inclose the several portions of the said forest.
