An incident of no public importance, but one at the same time not the less deserving of notice, im parts, to nur thinking, a very considerable degree of interest t'; the intelligence just received from Ilin dostan. From that intelligence it will be perceived that the veteran ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Indian army, embarked from Calcutta on the ith ult., on board the Haddington, in his voyage homewards. That the return of the gallant soldier should have been delayed so long is to us no matter for astonishment, considering the peculiar, and, we may be permitted to say, painful circumstances under which he was superseded. An illustrious soldier like Lord frOUGH could not hut feel most profoundly the slight done to himself, the forgetfulness shown towards all his heroic achievements, the doubt expressed as to the competence of his generalship, the indication of diminished confidence in his valour—perceptible in the misplaced and premature panic evidenced in this country on the receipt of the news from Chillian wallah. He must have experienced an unusual degree of exultation at his subsequent victories on hearing of the manner in which his name had been contemned in his native country, and in which his reputation had been deteriorated by the national anxieties. At the same time, however, when obtaining the tokens of British gra titude for his numerous and brilliant successes, tokens such as the thanks cf the Parliament and the com mendations of the Sovertassix, the conqueror of Goo jerut must have felt a singular disinclination to return immediately to a people who had betrayed this un satisfactory fickleness of temperament—suddenly al ternating from the depths of despair and contumely, to the height of joy and admiration. Rendered sen sitive by the unjust judgment of his fellow citizens, Lord GOUGE cannot have failed to have detected in the congratulations of Rngland the earnestness of a national remorse quite as much as the ardour of popular satisfaction. Therefore it is that we can readily comprehend the delay of his voyage homewards. For ourselves we remember with ho small satisfaction that while so many others were clamorous for the recal of the late Commander in-Chief of the Anglo-Indian Army, as a man not capable of being trusted with that heavy responsibi lity, we did not raise our voice for the purpose of increasing and heightening the general panic, but, oh the contrary, expressed that 'confidence in his heroism and abilities which are felt to be justified by a long and honourable career, as well as by a series of splendid achievements in different quarters of the Asiatic continent. Now that Viscount GouGa has taken his departure homewards from the country which has witnessed tha rise and development of his reputation, we are sanguine that his reception amongst ourselves may be one befitting the veteran soldier himself, and worthy also of the nation in whose service he has acquired rank and celebrity. In this regard a hint might well be taken from the conduct of the inha bitants of Madras. Aware that . the late Com mander-in-Chief was on the eve of quitting them in all human probability for ever, the people of Madras waited upon his Lordship in a deputation for the purpose of bidding him farewell, and at the same time of wishing him all happiness during the re mainder of his existence. The answer given by the gallant old soldier to this valedictory address from the inhabitants of Madras is possessed of peculiar interest, And is one altogether quite in character. " Gentle men," said he, "my life fro m my c hil dhood has been spent in the service of my country, and I can con licientiously say that the best energies of the military portion of it, extending to the long period of 56 years, have been devoted to the service of my Soya- ZEIGN, whose gracious consideration, as a mark of her approbation, has placed me in the position I now hold. Though devoted and unceasing as may have , been my exertions, they would have proved of little avail had I not been zealously and energetically supported ; and I feel an honest pride in bearing tes timony to the disciplined gallantry and untiring de votion of those who served under me, of all grades and of all arms, as well native as European." Referfing then to his departure from the visttlat of his old military companions, Lord Gouari declared, " I shall ever cherish the re membrance of the glorious achievements of the army, which fought and conquered in China, at Gwalior, on the banks of the Sutlej, and on the plains of the Pun jaub." The enumeration of those historic victories must have been a proud satisfaction to the man who had himself led forward that army in the capacities of Commander of the Chinese Expedition, and subse quently of Commander-in-Chief of the British Indian Army. It was an appropriate circumstance, moreover, a circumstance fraught with subject for sincere self-gratulation, that Lord GOUGH should bid adieu to Hindostan at Madras, seeing that prior to his undertaking those memorable and glorious campaigns, he had originally occupied the post of Commander of the forces in that Presidency. Alluding to this fact, the Sheriff of Madras, speaking in the name of the deputation, thus addressed the noble soldier : " Your Lordship was last at Madras in a public capacity, as commander of the forces of this Presi dency. Called by her MAJEATT to more dis tinguished service, your Lordship left us to take command of the expedition to China. The war in that country having been brought to an honourable termination, your Lordship was next selected to occupy the responsible appointment of Commander-in-Chief in India. In the ex ercise of the high functions pertaining to that office, it devolved upon your Lordship to undertake the important campaign of Gwalior; which having in like manner with that of China been brought to a successful issue, it became your Lordship's duty to conduct the still more difficult and momentous ope rations in the several campaigns on the Sutlej and in the Punjaub." The veteran General who was thus enabled to cover the flag of his country with addi tional glory in the Celestial Empire, and in the country of the five rivers, is assuredly one of those citizens whom England should welcome home again from their heroic labours with peculiar pride and satisfaction. The autumn of a life so spent should be gladdened by the light of popularity. That such will be the case on the arrival of Viscount GOUGH in England we are confident, and the event of his return will be awaited with only increased interest from the circumstance that it will be accompanied or immediately followed by the return homewards, on a temporary leave of absence, of the rising star of our Indian Empire, the young and heroic Major EDWANDES. The calm solemnity of the Upper House of Parlia ment was on Monday night enlivened by the intro duction of a subject of more than ordinary excite ment. The battle of Dolly's Brae was fought over again in presence of the Barons of England. The HoTsrum of his party, smarting under the discom fiture of a Protectionist defeat, entered the lists as the defender of the Ulster Orangemen against the Irish Viceroy. It was peculiarly gratifying to us to find that his Excellency was in his place, bearing out in the fullest and most satisfactory manner our frequently expressed anticipations, that on a fitting occasion, should it be necessary, he would be able to defend his Irish policy, and annihilate all the paltry slanders which faction for months had been accumu lating upon him. Our expectations have been fully realised. His Excellency's triumph was signal and complete ; he demolished the three hours' charge of his wily and dexterous accuser by a plain statement of facts. Every act of the Irish Executive in refer ence to party processions was fully and satisfactorily explained, not only on the unfortunate occasion of the last 12th of July, but on all former anniversaries since the Government of Ireland was entrusted to the present accomplished statesman. Lord CLARENDON has every reason to rejoice that the indiscretion of his political adversaries gave him the opportunity of laying for ever in the dust the piled pyramid of falsehood and misrepresentation which faction had so shamelessly and recklessly heaped upon him. The veil was removed from every point upon which the shadow of a doubt could rest, and the conduct of ford CLARENDON has passed through this fiery ordeal stamped with the approval of every right thinking man in the British empire. The contrast between the speeches of the declamatory partizan who discharged the duty of prosecutor on the occasion and the calm, simple language of the accused statesman was most striking. The one bold, wily, and plausible ; the other totally devoid of all artificiality, and breathing the unimpassioned simplicity of conscious rectitude. .The charges of the noble accuser were met at every point, not by flourishes of rhetorical ingenuity, but by simple stubborn facts, till not a trace was left of the airy fabric which the spirit of faction had raised. While we cannot but feel some degree of conscious pride that the views which we put forward, and the argu ments by which, on so many occasions, we sustained those views, have been so fully borne out by the un deniable facts and evidence adduced by Lord CLA RENDON, and while we confess our satisfaction that an able and honest statesman was enabled to vindicate his high name from the foulest charges, we cannot too strongly condemn the spirit which dictated the re newal of a discussion calculated to keep alive animo sities which every good man should wish to see buried and forgotten ; nay, we question not only the pro priety, but even the right, upon public grounds, of Lord STANLEY to introduce so mischievous and aim less a proposition into the House of Peers. He says, "I never had greater need of your kindness and in dulgence than now, when I am about to bring before you matters of great importance in themselves, as affecting not only the character but also the private conduct of two individuals of high and responsible station, both members of your Lordships' House," &c. Now we would be glad to know upon what constitutional grounds his Lordship was warranted in bringing the private conduct of any of his peers under the conside ration of Parliament ? Upon what principle was he warranted in asking their Lordships to sit in judg• ment on the private conduct of any individual, even though a member of their Lordships' House ? We would strongly deprecate such a bad precedent, we would solemnly protest against the public time being wasted on subjects so unsuited to the deliberations of the higher branch of the Legislature. His Lordship does justice to the motives of the il lustrious Viceroy in the same breath that he impugns his private conduct. "I do not wish," he says, "to cast any imputation on his motives ; lam fully satis fied that on this occasion, as on every other in the period during which he has been in his high office, his main desire has been to act in a manner consistent with his duty to himself, and conducive to the welfare and tranquillity of Ireland." Yet he drags the nobleman to whose honesty he pays this high tribute from the distant sphere of his high and arduous duties to answer foul and baseless charges. Nobody ought to know better than my Lord STANLEY the embarrassing difficulties which beset the Governorship of Ireland, and we cannot help thinking that he shows but little regard for either the Governor or the governed who would add to those difficulties. And after all, what whole some principle was to be sustained, what useful end was to be gained by this factious and mischievous proposition? Was his object to remove Lord CLARENDON from the Viceroyalty ? Was it for the purpose of injuring the fame of the ablest statesman that ever ruled the destinies of Ireland—the man who was able to crush rebellion without the bayonet or the gibbet, and who proved his ability to guard the laws by the sword of Justice alone ? To go into a detail of the misrepresentations contained in the STANLEY indictment, and now set at rest for ever, would be but to reiterate what we so fully and so frequently laid before our readers during this painful discussion ; and we will conclude by congratulating the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland on the issue of the challenge which he so chivalrously accepted. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH IN AN OMNIBUS.—Last evening an instance of the awful uncertainty of lift) oc curred in an omnibus which was travelling through Moorgate-street. It appears that Mr. Joseph Phelps, bookseller, of Paternoster-row, was in the habit of leav ing his place of business about six o'clock, P.m., and taking an omnibus at the Bank, to be driven to his family residence near Holloway. When he left the " Row," he was apparently in his usual health, and walked down to the Bank, where he hailed the omnibus which was going in his direction. Ho got in, and the conveyance beginning to fill, it set off at a s lo w p ace down Moorgate-street. He in the meantime had been chatting familiarly with his fellow-passengers, when all in a moment he was suddenly observed to turn pale, and then to fall back. The omnibus was immediately stop ped and the unfortunate gentleman lifted out and con veyed to a neighbouring surgeon's in Moorgate-street. Before, however, he reached the medical man's house he had koreathed his last, THE SUN, LON,bON, THURSDAY EVENING, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI7'Y. QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull, and prices of all descriptions were id. per lb. lower. The sales were 2,500 bales all to the trade. The trans actions comprised 2,000 American, at 6d. to 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 6.: 4 1 d. to 7d.; 100 Egyptian, at 64d. to 7d.; and 200 Surat, at 41d. to 4,i/d. per lb.—The market for Railway Shares closed heavily, and prices were again lower. In the markets in the United Kingdom which regulate the duties, the sales of wheat last week were 91,307 quarters. The six weeks' average price is 395. Bd. per quarter. The Amsterdam market was in a favourable position on the 19th instant ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 55. Spanish Three per Cents. were 29k. There was a good business doing in foreign securities. There are ♦ery encouraging advices from Berlin un der date of the 16th instant, as to the progress of the negotiations upon the Danish question. They are said now to be more active than ever, and consequently we are entitled to assume that there is a better chance of their being brought to a successful issue. The letters received by the Overland mail from India, describe business as being dull at Bombay, though tole rably good at Calcutta; but they communicate more favourable intelligence as to the progress of affairs gene rally towards a sounder, and, we trust, a permanent condition, and in that sense are far more important than if they simply advised a " spirit " in trade. For years past, as we have frequently ex plained under this head, the Indian houses pursued a course which could not but ensue in ruin, buying on one side at high prices, and selling on the other at lower, almost for the express purpose of keeping a mass of paper in circulation. The miserable dividend list of the failed houses will illustrate this, for, with one or two exceptions, those of greatest magnitude and re pute have paid least. The accounts from Ceylon and the Mauritius are encouraging. There is a curious statement in a New York journal, among the number of those last to hand, and whether correct or the reverse, it serves to show that the feeling upon the Hungarian question has run very high, and is more enthusiastic than in England. The editor re marks:— " Our correspondents at Washington have informed us that Mr. Bodisco, formerly Russian Minister at Washing ton, has been positively recalled, or rather (as he is not hero) been stopped. We also hear from other quarters, that possibly the Emperor of Russia may recal all his En voys hero or elsewhere on missions to the United States. Similar rumours are current in relation to the Austrian Embassy; and it is not improbable but that Prussia, were she not prevented by considerations of commer cial advantage, would take a leaf out of the same book of diplomacy. " The exhibition of public opinion in the United States, by the independent journals, and the debates now in Congress, can find bat little favour with the despotic Governments of Europe; and we are not at all astonished to see some extreme step taken by Russia and Austria in reference to their embassies in this country. If these two Emperors should, in fact, withdraw their ambas sadors and ministers from Washington, we do not ex pect that the end of the world will be at hand, nor the last day of the American Republic determined upon. The America❑ people, we opine, will live a little while longer as a nation and as a Republic, and as a great united community, without even Ministers from Russia, Austria, Spain, or any other despotic country in the world." In the English Stock Market business is quiescent, Consols being 95i for Transfer and 22i for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to 98f, and the Three per Cent. Reduced 95i Ex chequer-bills have been quoted 545. to 575., and India Bonds 853. premium. The transactions in Foreign Stocks have been unim portant. Peruvian Bonds have been comparatively neglected at 77 to 781 fur the Active, and at 32 to 33 for the Deferred. Mexican have been done at 29i and 30i. Equador are worth 4, and Brazillian 89. Danish Five per Cents. have realised 991, and Dutch Two-and a-half per Cents. 55 toy}. Railway Shares are extremely passive, and there is scarcely any alteration in their value. South-Eastern are flatter, Great Western a trifle firmer, South-Western heavy, and the lines with smaller amounts paid up about the same. French Shares are very quiet. United Mexican Mine Shares have risen again, being 6 to 61. The Week's Railway Receipts, as far as yet com pleted, are as under : 1849. 2'A p 18% 1”,", THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We hare received the Paris journals of yesterday. The rage of the parti-pretre at their defeat exceeds all bounds; it is positively absurd, and M. THEIRS and M. DB MONTALEMBERT can only be paralleled by the NEWCASTLES, WINCHELSEAS, and HARCOURT LEES'S oflB29,When Sir ROBERT PEEL carried Catholic Eman cipation. On leaving the Assembly on Monday, M. THIERS spoke of the Executive as a thing " That thinks itself independent, and that makes promises which that cannot keep ;" and at a meeting of the club of the Council of State, which took place in the evening, over which the Duke of MONTEBELLO pre sided, and at which M. MOLE was present, M. THEIRS spoke with great violence. He made a bitter attack on the members of the ma jority who had voted against his opinions; and he added that "France would ultimately find herself placed between anarchy and the most stupid, the most ridiculous, and the most petty of despotisms." He spoke of the present Government in most contemptu ous terms, as weak, stupid, feeble ; creatures who would fain ape the Empire; and with respect to the representatives who had voted with AI. DE PARIEU, he spoke of them as the complaisantes of the Ministry. This violent language excited great astonishment, l i and about fifty of the members left the meeting, de claring that they would never return to the club of the Conseil d Etat. The Committee declare that :if there is any more meddling with the Bill on the part of the Ministers, they will throw up the conduct of it, and the parti-pretre openly avow themselves the parti sans of anarchy, as against the present Government— thus carrying out the principle on which they have al ways acted, viz., to make every government impossible, with a view of establishing on the ruins of all that most anarchical and immoral of all governments, a sacerdotal tyranny maintained by a reign of terror. If the present state of things should continue, we trust that Frenchmen of all parties will unite and crush at once and for ever the intriguing parti-pretre. There can be no peace for France whilst that party exists. In the meanwhile the PRESIDENT is visiting every day the various barracks in the neighbourhood of Paris, and is received with enthusiasm by the sol diery, and yesterday in the Assembly the Prince DE LA MOSEOWA, the son of Marshal NET, demanded that the Assembly should adjourn the further discus sion on the law of public instruction, in order to de cide on the Bill for augmenting the pay of the non commissioned officers of the army, which had been introduced by thi Government. This proposition was received with shouts of laughter by the Members of the Right, and at once rejected ; the incident, how ever, cannot fail to render the parti-pretre unpopular with the army, more especially as it is well known that they have determined to reject altogether the Government proposition. The following official notification of the intention of the Government to erect forthwith a monument to the memory of Marshal NET, on the spot where he fell, appears in the journals of yesterday : "TO THE PBESIDEBT 07 THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. " Paris, Feb. 20. "Monsieur le President—The Constituent Assembly ratified the decree which orders ' that a monument be raised to Marshal Ney on the spot itself where he was shot.' You have considered that the moment had arrived for executing this project which so well translates one of the most profound sentiments of the country. I asked myself if it would be necessary to ask for a special I credit fur the execution of this monument, and I doubted not that an assembly presided over by one of the most illustrious defenders of the hero of the Moskwa (M. Dupin) would receive such a proposition with sympathy. On reflection I recognise that the ordinary credit allowed for works of art will be sufficient. It appears to me that such a monument, by the nature of the souvenirs it will awaken, ought to be of a severe aspect, and of grand simplicity. That such is the spirit of the law is proved by the selection of the desert place where the Marshal fell, without other witnesses than his executioners, for the situation of his monument. You have not desired that the monument of the bravest of the brave should be considered as the public mark of an irritating souvenir, but as the sign of rehabiltaition long proclaimed by tire public conscience. It becomes necessary to mark some where the expression of regret felt by so many hearts, and no place could be so appropriate as that where the Marshal fell. The monument will represent the Marshal showing his breast, and uncovering his heart to death. I need not say that I have selected for this work one of our greatest statuaries. The work will be worthy of the sentiment which has dictated the decree of which you have ordered the execution. " I am, with profound respect, Monsieur le President, " Your very humble and devoted servant, (Signed) " FERDINAND BARROT." The Ordre, which speaks from the inspiration of M. THIERS, fully bears out all that has been said as to the violence of his language at his club and in the Assembly ; it states that M. THIERS declared " that the disunion in the ranks of the majority with respect to the Public Instruction Bill would have for effect to place the country between the danger of frightful anarchy and that of a . little ridiculous despotism." He also spoke of the Government as one which de sired to singer l'Empire. However absurd this may be, it is most assuredly better to singer rEmpire than to singer the Restoration, as M. TRIERS has been doing of late. NAPOLEON is certainly a worthier model than M. DE FRATSSINOUS, and M. THIERS was himself once'of that opinion, but as age and infirmities creep upon him the ci• devant brilliant historian of the Revolution, the Consulate, and the Empire is fast degenerating into a PERE LoBIQUET. The Moniteur contradicts in the most positive manner the various reports relative to a chanEe of ministry, and which, it adds, had not the slightest foundation. The Republicans of Bruyeres, in the department of Vosges, have returned the whole of their candidates to the municipal council of the town. General CASTELLAN, appointed to the command of the 12th, 14th, and 15th military divisions, arrived at Tours on Sunday last. Immediately on his arrival he reviewed the troops in the Champ de Mars, and issued a general order the same evening, recommend ing the strictest discipline and subordination. General LAPENE, commanding the department of the Drome, has issued a proclamation in virtue of the state of siege, forbidding all political banquets, meet ings, processions, or demonstrations of any kind, contrary to public order, to the constitution, or to religion or morality. The Pantheon gun-brig has been ordered to pro ceed to La Plata. A letter from Toulon of the 16th inst. states that the 20th, 66th, and 68th Regiments of the Line, forming part of the army of Italy, have been sent to Algeria.

On the 14th General NARVAEZ read to both Chambers the communication from the QUEEN'S phy sicians. He presented himself first in the Senate, which met at two P.M., under the presidency of the Marquis of MIRAFLORES ; and after the admission of a new senator, who took the oath, General NARTAEZ, who was in full uniform, stated that he had an in teresting communication to make respecting her MAJESTY'S state, and read a letter he had received from the Duke of HIJAR, inclosing another from the QUEEN'S physicians. The latter stated that, from the symptoms that had presented themselves, they were of opinion that the QUEEN had very probably entered upon the fifth month of her pregnancy, and that she was going on satisfactorily. The Chambers were to be prorogued on the 16th. MADRID BOLSA, FEB. 15.—The funds are in de mand.

The Independance of Brussels states that a treaty of commerce and navigation has just been concluded between Belgium and Prussia. A letter from Frankfort of the 16th, addressed to the Independance of Brussels, states that an alliance offensive and defensive has been secretly concluded between Bavaria and Austria. In a recent sitting of the States of Brunswick, the Government presented the convention for incorporat ing the troops of Brunswick in the Prussian army. The Chamber of Peers of Bavaria, on the 16th, rejected by a large majority the Bill on the political and civil rights of the Jews. A. telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 18th, states that the First Chamber had adopted the propo sition of Deputy DIERGARDT, demanding that mea sures be taken within the year to operate a reform in the custom duties as a protection against the disad vantages of the Belgian-Dutch treaty of 1846. DENMARK. In the states of Denmark, on the 13th, the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, in answer to a Deputy, de clared that no negotiations for a prolongation of the armistice in Schleswig had been entered into. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSEURGII.—A fire broke out in the trea sury of the palace of Prince PETER of Oldenburgh, by the bursting of one of the heating flues, on the sth of this month. As the cold was most intense, being 3 degrees, all the exertions of the firemen were for a time fruitless. _ _ The wind at length, happily, turned to the west. The immense stock of plate belonging to the Prince was melted, and a great number of valuable docu ments, among them several State papers, fell a prey to the flames. THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES. The Paris National publishes a letter from Bu charest, of the 4th February, which says— "l have very import ant news to communicate to you. An Imperial order from St. Petersburgh has been sent to the Danubian provinces for the departure of all the Russian troops with the shortest possible delay. They will commence their march on the 20th. Their route has been traced out beforehand as far as Liow. There will only remain in Moldo-Wallachia a garrison of 10,000 men and 30 pieces of cannon. " The true motive of this removal of the Russian troops from the principalities is a desire to obtain from the Turks a suspension of their armaments, the renun ciation of their plans of fortifications, and eventually will increase the influence of Russia in Greece and in all the Ottoman Empire." ITALY. The Statute of Florence quotes correspondence from Rome of the 11th, from which it appears that the young Prince of CANINO and his sister are both doing well, the fragments of glass having all been extracted from their wounds. On the same day on which the attempt was made against them, a French non-commissioned officer was stabbed for having in sulted a female ; in consequence of which the follow ing notification has been issued : " Inhabitants of Rome,—Tbe General-in-Chief, with a view of patting an end to the vile assassinations that endanger the lives of the officers and soldiers of the army, orders that no person shall henceforward carry about him knives, stilettoF, or any instrument applicable to the perpetration of a crime. Whoever shall be found with suck arms about his person, shall be instantly shot. "Rome, Feb. 11. BARAGUAT D'HELLIERS." By a decree of the Ilth, the Duke of PARMA has ordered a levy of 1,200 men to complete the army. In the sitting of the 15th of the Chamber of De puties of Turin, M. Baommo addressed a question to Count Siccsund, Minister of Grace and Justice, on the subject of a pastoral letter published by the Bishop of SALINES. count SICCARDI replied that the Cabinet had been unanimous in the opinion that cer tain expressions of that letter were unbecoming. and that proper steps had been taken in the matter. The subject then dropped. A correspondent at Naples writes on the 12th : "At this moment the royal palace is between two fires! About a fortnight ago a shock of an earthquake was felt during a great storm, and a few days since the store of coals (250,000 quintals) became ignited. They were deposited in a vacuum extending from the arsenal to the palace of the Prince of Salerno, a vast hollow like the catacombs; of course, all the inmates immediately de camped, and the sapeurs-pompiers are at work, having cleverly run up a wall to save great part of the coals from ignition if possible. On the other side is Vesuvius in full eruption, presenting a finer spectacle than has been witnessed for many years. The lava flows in a north-easterly direction over the estate of Prince Ottiano, doing great damage. The carnival gaieties are now transferred from the Toledo to the saloons. Some fifty couples appeared in costumes of the reigns of Louis XIV. and XV., and formed quadrilles at the soirees of La Marquise da Ronda, Prince St. Antimo, and Princess Dentici. These brilliant parties closed the festive sea son, while the thunders of Vesuvius shook every window in Naples." SICILY. We have received the following letter from Pa lermo, describing the events which have recently occurred in that island. FILANGIRRI is the ape of HAYNAU, as his master, BoMBA, is the :ape of the Red EMPEROR. " Palermo, Jan. 29, 1350. " This town was yesterday filled with horror and in dignation by a most atrocious act perpetrated by the Government of Filangieri, which rivals his own ac tions at Messina in Septemb er, 1848, and a year since at Catania. " Towards 9 o'clock on the evening of the 27th there was a popular demonstration on the place of Furavechia, where a number of persons assembled, in order to pro test against a Government which, trusting solely to physical force, had committed actions of the most un heard-of violence and spoliation, and reduced the entire country to a state of misery and despair. It was very courageous of any persons to make this protest in the face of a tyrant,; who, like his master, recognises no law, does not wish to be on good terms with the people be governs, and only desires to rule by the sword. It is supposed by some that his infamous police, in order legally to get rid of certain brave and popular men, of whom; they were afraid, lured some of them into a guet-a-pens by means of this fatal demon stration, which the Government itself admits to have been of a pacific nature ; as appears by the folilowing 'extract from the supplement to the Giornale Officiale of yesterday—' A few per sons were rash enough to attempt to appeal to the people of Palermo by means of seditious clamours. . . . . The police authori ties, always watching over the preservation of public tranquillity, having previously been informed of this miserable attempt, had placed a patrol on the place,:con sisting of an inspector, three of the police, and four pioneers, who were sufficient to break up the meeting of these criminals, six of whom fell into their hands.' Surely, if instead of a pacific demonstration, this had been an attempt at a revolution, as General Filangieri afterwards characterised it, such a small force could not have sufficed to suppress it. It is certain however, that the unfortunate persons captured by the police were entirely unarmed. The official paper adds, that ' before any rumour of this meeting could have penetrated into the other quarters of the town, even before any suspicion could be entertained of its exist ence, the guilty parties were already arrested, and order and tranquillity had been restored in the place where they had momentarily been disturbed; nor bad any ill consequences followed, nor any injury been done, during the short struggle that had taken place to prevent this criminal attempt.' Who, however, would have supposed that this mere attempt at crime, as it is called by the official organ of General Filangieri, would have given rise to such a frightful scene as that we yesterday wit nessed? The General ordered these unfortunate men, against whom there was no other proof than the testi mony of his infamous spies, and' who, perhaps, were in veigled by them to the spot where they were arrested, to be shot before six o'clock. He pretended to call a council of war, but it is well known that these villanous exceptionnel tribunals are merely the blind instruments of his tyrannical will. The greater portion of the town knew of this barbarous exe cution before knowing of the attempted revolution that had been suppressed by four of the police and f fur so'diers. I repeat that the horror and indignation of all classes of the people was at its height. Some of the vic tims were of good family, and one of them, Mondini, had served with distinction in the constitutional army as lieutenant of engineers. After having deluged Sicily with the blood of her sons for eight months, under the pretext that his victims had been guilty of the detention of arms; after having filled the citadel of Messina and all the prisons in the island with men whose only crime was that of being suspected by him, after having re odmou n c s e eo (Ire misery t hi y s , l u tsh n oe h; eo p no p ol y . r ma C t O oe U rul n si tuargyn)d t ua O rpboi a nt r state athrye of her trade, General Filangieri no w considers traixeoh foetishte4b, greatest3r h ao i no m c, 01 l e o l os f sufficiently powerful to stifle, by sanguinary executions, he e gain his insupportable may be mistaken, and he against better service to his august in! tyranny;hae yno t well-founded pobb e sbl renderingyhowever, complaint s master than did his infamous predecessors, Vial and Delcaretto." magistrates, GRAND DINNER AT THE AftNaSyloOrNe•sl:o gaveUSE d te i r d d e a n y te t r h t e a L in o m rd en Ai t l a t y ? o t r h.e an s d u L rr a e d y y: the Mem bers for and the principal gentry of the county, splen did a number of ladies.

RIMMEL'S TOILET TINEGAR.--Mr. Kimmel, the Queen's perfumer, has recently invented an article which may be clas, ,ed either among the most delicious perfumes or among the moat potent disinfectants, for his Toilet Vinegar p()ssesses hygienic and prophylactic qualities of a high orr"ter, while as a perfume it is far superior to El" de Cologne, or any other scent of which spirit forma a basis, inasmuch as it preserves its refreshing and invigorating; qualities to the last, and does not become faint and il.ded, as do spirituous essences shortly after they haves been poured on the handkerchief. During the recent visitation of cholera it was extensively and successfull) used as a disinfectant, and we can bear our testimony t ) the fact that a few drops of Toilet Vinegar poured into a glass of water form a most agreeable, a most effeott 'al, and a most cleanly dentritice. Mr. Riminel Isas laid all lovers of a cigar under a great obligation,, for if after smoking the mouth is rinsed out with a gl sac of water, into which has been poured a few drops of ' roilet Vinegar, the unpleasant odour of tobacco is compli ;rely removed. Henceforth no toilet - table can be eons' dered co mplete without a bottle of Rimmel's Vinegai and it s h o ,eld be also found in every sick room. Goa H AM V. THk. Ihsitor or EXETER.

The learned gentleman was taken ill a fesv days since at the Old Bailey sessions, from which indisposition he never recovered. He was chosen as Common Sergeant to the City in the year 1833, so that he has held the important office about seventeen years. The appointment of his successor is vested in the Court of Common Council. SETTLEMENT LAW.—The Government have just required (in accordaLee with a resolution of the House of Commons) a return of the number of paupers removed during the last five years, distinguishing those who were Irish and Scotch. This is another stepping stone to a total abolition of settlement law. . Mr. Joseph Hambro, a Jew, head of an extensive Inking-house of London, who lately died, lett by his will 100,000 rix dollars (570,000 f.) to the city of Copenhagen, his native place, for the establishment of charitable institutions, but subject to the condition that his son, Mr. Charles Hambro, at present chief of the bank, should enjoy the interest of the capital during his life. Mr. Charles Hambro, a short time ago, proposed to the municipality of Copenhagen to give up the life interest provided that it would undertake to build two baths and washhouscs for the poor, as in England. The municipality has just accepted the gevroua offer. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. FRENCH PLAYS. The pleasing, sparkling, humorous opera Le Postilion de Lon junzeau—the chef d'oeuvre of that most lively and agreeable of composers, Adolphe Adam, of whom it may with truth be said that he is often excellent, always pleasing, and never dull, was produced here last night, and was throughout received with marked approbation by one of the most fashion able and crowded audiences of the season. The music of the Postilion is well known in this country ; where is the music-stand on which some of its favo rite airs do not find a place ? Where is the drawing room or the concert-room in which the music of the Postilion has not been heard ? The opera itself has also been adapted at more than one theatre, and the original was represented in London some few years since by the Brussels company at Drury-lane. Chapelou, the Postilion of Lonjumeau, possesses a superb tenor voice. He is heard singing on his wedding day, by a Marquis attached to the Court of Louis the Fifteenth, and is at once hurried away from his wife to Paris, and transformed into an opera singer. Alter the lapse of ten years we find him, under the name of St. Phar, the leading tenor of the King's troop, giving himself all the airs which leading tenors will give themselves, and making desperate love to — ,a certain Madame de La tour, forgetful of poor Madeleine, who he had married ten years before, and left at Lonjumeau He, however, hears that Madeleine is alive and in Paris, and in a scene in the dark he fancies himself in the presence of both Madeleine and Madame de Latour, for he hears distinctly the voices of each relating the history of his perfidy. To add to his dismay, he be • lieves that he has been guilty of bigamy in marrying Madame de Latour, and he hears a comfortable as surance given to him, that the punishment for such an offence is hanging. All, however, is cleared up by the discovery that Madeleine and Madame de Latour are the same person. M. Chollet was the original Chapelou, and it is not too much to say that he made the opera. He was also the Chapelou of last evening and was as fresh, as gay, as brilliant, and as bustling as ever he was. His "Oh ! oh ! etait beau," was admira bly given, and his caricature of a regular built grand opera song, " Assis au pied d'un hetre," was an ex quisite bit of musical drollery, and elicited an unani mouse encore. His acting throughout was full of vivacity, spirit, and point. Mademoiselle Guichard, who was the Madeleine, when thei opera was per formed at Drury-lane by the Brussels company, again appeared in that character, and never has the rustic soubrette been more coquettishly or more na turally represented ; her acting as the fine lady, too, was excellent, and it is seldom that such versatility has been seen as was exhibited by Mademoiselle Guichard in the scene in the dark, in which she alternately personates the two wives. M. Buguet, as Alcindor, the coryphie, was exceedingly quaint and amusing. The choruses were admirable, and the opera was most carefully put upon the stage. The success was complete, and at the con clusion Chollet and Mademoiselle Guichard were loudly called for, and rapturously applauded. FEBRUARY 21, 1850 CbtrO Vlntion LINCOLN RACES AND STEEPLECHASES.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL ) WEST HACKNEY RENT CHARGE—TITHES. This was an action hroughr by the Rev. Thomas Davis Lamb, Rector of West Hackney, to recover the sum of 101. 13s. 6d. for two years' rent charge on the al lotment 269. The Counsel for the plaintiff said this was a proceed• ing under the 6 and 7 William IV., known as the Tithe Consolidation Act, by which tithes were abolished, and creating a rent charge on the land in lieu thereof. In this case the allotments and charges had been sanctioned according to Act of Parliament by the Tithe Commis sioners. He would prove in evidence that two yews' rent charge was still unpaid. The rent charge was 51 ss. 7d. per annum, but subject to be varied according to the average price of corn for seven years previous to the Thursday before Christmas-day in each year. On those averages, published in each year in the London Gazette, the charge was increased 2s. 2d. in 1848. and 2d. in 1849. Mr. Masters, the collector, was called, and proved the arrears due; he had not applied to the landlord, as he was only required by the Act to apply to the occupier. The actual defendant is a widow, residing at Tingey's buildings, Hackney. She now attended, and pleaded in- ability to pay, and considered she ought not to be charged, as she had not had any cattle on the ground during the time. Mr. Masters said that made no difference. The jury gave a verdict for the sum claimed. HOLDSCA)IP V. PRITCHARD. The plaintiff is a stationer in the City, and defendant resides in Doctors'-commons, and the sum claimed was 41. 18s. for goods sold. For the defendant it was contended that by the 112th clause in the City Small Debts' Act, no action could be brought in the superior courts on debts under 201. con tracted in the City. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF thought that it did not prevent th e j ury f rom g i v i ng a ve rdict, though it might affect the costs. A verdict was given for the amount. SMITH V. DOUTHILL. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 20% for one year's rent of garden ground at Haverstock Hill Mr. Hawiratis stated the case, and said he would put in a written agreement duly stamped, in which the de fendant undertook to pay the rent, he therefore could not conceive what ground there was for the plea of not indebted. A witness was called, who proved . that he read th e agreement over to defendant before it was signed. Mr. KINGDOM (defendant's attorney) cross-examined. the witness, to elicit, if possible, that the amount was stated in error, and ought to have been 20s. instead of 20/. He, however, failed in doing so. The jury gave a verdict for 204 BOW -STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A tall powerful-locking young man, named Thomas w as charged with stealing a loaf of bread valued Jackson, at d Mr. Melville, a baker, in George..street, Tottenham court-road, stated that last night the prisoner came into his shop, and taking up the bread ran off with it. He pursued him, and on overtaking him, the prisoner de clared that it had been his intention to commit a rob bery of some sort. The prisoner said he hed been without victuals for two days, except a trifle a policeman gave him at Barnet, and hunger drove him to it. Ho asked for relief before he took the bread, Mr. HALL—Where do you como from? Prisoner — Staffordshire. Mr. HALL—How do you get your living? Prisoner — I am a labouring man. ➢ir. HALL said it was quite useless to send him to the House of Detention, for there he would live in clover. It was quite evident be was a tramp going about begging and thieving in this way, and the host thing to be dune was to send him to the sessions for trial. The prim= was acc9rdly oininitted. THE GREAT EXHIBITIO FOR 1851 OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS. (THIS DAY.) A most numerous and highly influential meeting ot the inh a bit an t s o f W es t m in s ter in furtherance of th i ts i great work for the Exhibition of the Industry of a Nations in 1831, took place to-day at Willis's Remus. Francis Smedley, Esq., the High Bailif of Westminster, took the chair shortly after 11 o'clock. On the platform we noticed the Bishop of London: ld ' the Earl of Carlisle, Mr. J. Loyd, Mr. Les lie, J. WY Esq., M.P. There were also pres ent several foreigners of distinction. The Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Mary Howard were present, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. FRANCIS SMEDLEY, Esq., the High Bailiff of WI" minster, was called to the chair; and having brit stated the objects of the meeting, first Mr. JOSEPH Bnowar stood forward to move the resolution. He said the resolution, with which he w s entrusted, differed strangely from the characte r of th °3 _ ° , which in bygone years had occupied the Pr esidency to High Bailiff of Westminster. They would not betel_ allay the ebullitions of political turmoil, nor listen to.te:d orators of grievances or misrule; but the chairtnallcios the happiness to see around him, men in everyPc si _ en of society, who constituted the glory oft ritai, t" s who testified by their presence this day, t this wo s _ e, strife in which they might all meet as on common gronni'.. a strife which should serve the great interests of tion, and promote the comforts and happiness of, the whole world. The resolution svich he had to un ° to the meeting, was— ro ! e " That it is the opinion of this meeting tha t the P e , d osal of his Royal Highness the Prince Albe rt, to bold exhibition of the works of industry of all nations to 1851, is entitled to the cordial co-op era ti o n of all else „,' as tending to the advancement of art, agricultur, os-re. factures, and trade, and to the development of tuTea sources of the British nation, its colonies and deP dencies." echlint (Cheers.)
