The Court, having performed the painful duty of sentenc ing the prisoner, Lieut.-Col. Moseley as above stated, do 1101 C, in consideration of his long and meritorious services, beg respectfully to recommend his case to the favourable consideration of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE CONDIANDER-IN - CHIEF. The Commander-in-Chief deeply regrets that he is pre cluded from attending to the recommenuation of the Courtin favour of an officer who has served 39 years ; but the conse quences of Lieut.-Col. Moseley's misconduct have been so prejudicial to discipline, so highly injurious to the public eereice, and productive of such unhappy results, that his Ex cellency feels himself constrained to give full weight to the just sentence passed by the Court. The name of Lieut.-Colonel Moseley is to be struck off the list of the army from the date of publication of this order at ukkur, and a report of its having been so is to be made to the Adjutant-General of the army. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in •Chief, J. R. LUMLEY, V.ajor-General, Adjutant-General of the Army. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Dec. 20, 1844.) Indigo.—This article has almost entirely captivated the attention of all parties wishing to speculate or make remit tances, and inconsequence very considerable activity has been experienced in it throughout the past month. The opening sales were governed with extreme caution, but gradually a more speculative feeling manifested itself, and the French (who pretended to have no limits above 150 rupees for the very finest marks) having shown a dispo sition to coma forward at the time when considerable trans actions were taking place for Great Britain, our market gra dually improved, and very large parcels have changed hands both by private contract and public sale, at prices showing an advance of 5 rupees to 15 rupees on earlier purchases, and in some instances at as much as 20 rupees above the rates ruling last year in December and the early part of January, or fully equal to those of February. We may here remark that the price at which the finer qualities have been disposed of is, comparatively speaking, much under that obtained for middling and inferior descriptions. These rates, however, baying induced proprietors to come forward freely, and many orders having been completed, this, together with the proximity of the mail, has combined to induce a degree of dullness at several of the late sales. Whatever may be the accounts we are about to receive, it is not supposed that any great change will take place in this market unless the mail brings bad accounts and lower limits. The Americans and Moguls have not, as yet, come forward to purchase, and we are also aware of a great many French orders still on hand, although they cannot be executed at present rates. As will be perceived by the annexed memorandum, the greater portion of the indigo disposed of by private contract has consisted of fine marks, and been taken principally on .french account. The total quantity sold up to date is about 50,000 maunds, ET a little more than a third of the crop but should the indigo belonging to the various associations be (as it gene -3017 is) sent home direct, we may calculate on half of the entire crop being out of the market. Generally speaking, the quality of the produce - of Lower Bengal is not so good as was expected,- and a great many marks are inferior to last year, whilst, on the contrary, Purneah, Tirhoot, and the Ivor provinces, have succeeded much better. Notwithstanding that this season's out-turn is consider- Ably under last, we are of opinion that quite as much will change hands here, there being very few planters who do not prefer the certainty of present high prices to the chance of shipping.

To Great Britain France 1,486 5,202 North America Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulf 4 11 Total 6,420 23,062 Sugar—The last accounts from England being still fa vourable for white Benares, the demand for that description was very general at the commencement of the month, and there being but few parcels offering it was all taken at some thing above former rates ; latterly, however, there being only inferior qualities in the bazaar, and the home accounts lor such being rather discouraging, a decided decline has I 4ken place, although not to any great extent, but at the same time first quality is still inquired for at former rates. The exports of late exhibit a falling off, being from the Ist t the 17th inst., inclusive, only . 53,898 maunds. Saltpetre—Finer qualities having of late been more abun dant and somewhat less inquired for, have slightly receded in price' but inferior descriptions, which have been taken to some extent for America, have fully maintained former ' rates. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date have been as follows, iz.:—To . Great Britain, 40,880 maunds; France, 269 inannds ; North America, 5,181 maunds. Rum—Notwithstanding that we are still unable to report - tiny transactions in this market, shipments continue to go f irward to fully the former extent, and in consequence of the favourable result of some shipments of superior quality, snore attention has of late been paid to the manufacture of the article. Exports to Great Britain from Ist instant np to date are Raw Silk—Towards the latter end of last month a fair amount of business was done in this 'staple, and our market completely cleared of the finer. qualities of Cossimbazar and ungypore at about former prices. In Hurrypanl and Rad tlagere, however, in consequence of there being rather a teavy stock, and the accounts from home being unfavour able, transactions were effected' at somewhat easier rates ; latterly there has been scarcely anything doing, holders not • I)eing inclined to submit to any . decline, and all parties seem row disposed to await the arrival of the November bund, which will commence to come to market about the beginning of January. Eitports to Great Britain from Ist instant up to date demount to 142 maunds. Cotton—We are again unable to report a single transaction ;DI this article, nor has there been a bale shipped to any part 'lnce our last. Rice—Towards the latter end of last month, freights b wing given way, shipments to a considerable extent were Dont forward at about former rates. Since then, however, the new crop, having partially come to market, prices of t.tble may be quoted lower, but this is counteracted by the late rise in freights. Moonghee maintains its price, and is in cAnand. Exports from Ist instant up to this date are as fol. 1-we, viz. :—To Great Britain, 63,928 maunds ; Mauritius, 2 ;,998 maueds.

British Cotton Piece Goods.—Our market has been very steady since our last, and transactions have been to a consi derable extent, without, however, any material change in value, and importers now generally appear disposed to hold, either for higher rates or an improvement in exchange. Shirtings have been sold to a fair extent at about last month's rates, and stocks have been somewhat reduced; the improvement noticed in our last for good white cloths has been fully maintained. White and gray Jaconets have been in steady demand, and the low qualities of the former have realised an advance of Ito 2 annas. 8-4 Stout White Cam bric is inquired for at full prices.

His Grace demonstrated the very imminent jeopardy to which, in the defect of such defences, the whole trade of this metropolis and port, homeward or outward bounds must always be subject in the estuary of the Thames, in the event of hostilities with a Continental power. About the month of August last, if we remember rightly, his Grace again bore testimony to the paramount importance of improving the port of Dover to a very considerable extent, and converting it into a harbour of refuge for the accommodation and rendezvous of our steam navy, as well as of our commercial marine. The report of the last Com mission, signed by professional authorities of such eminence as Admiral Sir BYAM MARTIN, G.C.8.; Admiral DUNDAS ; Mr. COLQUIIOUN, Captain WASH INGTON ; the very celebrated Engineer, Mr. J. WALKER, &c., not only amply confirmed the judg ment and testimony of the Duke, but specified the works necessary to be executed, the site and the scale upon which they should be constructed, and the pro bable amount at which their cost might be estimated. But Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has not hesitated to inflict upon the country the odious Income-tax, in order to maintain that dashing " surplus of Revenue," on which all his hopes of political canonization now repose, is little inclined—it seems— to spare 2,500,0001. for a department of the public service from which he can secure so small an addition to the sum of his Parliamentary influence, as the extension, strengthen• ing, deepening, and improvement of Dover Harbour. He could not conceal his irritation at being questioned by the Member for Dover on so distasteful a subject. He—innocent man l—after his little apprenticeship in official and public business of thirty years,—he " really did not know by what means the public got access to documents which were not, for a time at least, intended to be circulated." 1 Between the two extremes of a galvanic telegraph and the fast carts of the London Parcels Delivery Company, Sir ROBERT cannot even figure to himself the possibility of a swift process of communication between the penetralia of Downing-street, and the sanctum sanctorum of a London newspaper-office. He declared, with a grave face, that " He had not the slightest idea through what channel these docu ments were obtained, but somehow or other the news papers continually managed to get hold of them." — (A laugh.) He did not venture to say he had never heard of such things being done in his time, but " He could only regret that a document which had been confidentially prepared for the Government alone should have been published to the world." With all respect for Sir ROBERT, this species of red-tape prudery is very unworthy of him. The French Government do not appear so nervously sensitive on such subjects. They know, very well, that such affairs cannot be gone into, now-a-days, without a certain peril of publicity, however much publicity, under many conditions of circumstances, may be to be deprecated. But for an English Prime Minister, in 1845, to tslk as if he " really " expected that a document which must have been to some extent with• in the cognisance of many Members of Parliament, not Members of the Government, could be withheld for any length of time from the knowledge of the pub lic,—of that constituency which now exercises so much vigilance over, and requires so much vigilance from, its representatives—is foolish affectation. But , now let us see how the Minister of the greatest nation of Europe, the most extensive maritime power in the world, can balance, hesitate, and finally sit down " promising nothing—doing nothing—hoping no thing,"—when the amount of the cost is set against the construction of public works pronounced by the highest military, naval, and civil authorities in the empire to be indispensable to our preservation, our in dependence, our honour, our existence. In the first place, the report, is " really " found to be worthy of every consideration. But then—nothing has been done, nor seems likely to be done, in consequence of it. " In answer to the Hon. Gentleman's question, he could assure him that the report had occupied the most serious attention of her Majesty's Ministers. To the opinions of the very distinguished officers who had formed that Commission great weight would naturally be attached." We should hardly think Mr. RICE, or his Dover friends, will attach much value to so very. specific an undertaking as this :—" And the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. RicE) might depend upon it, that a subject of such vast national importance should not fail to receive the most anxious consideration upon the part of her Majesty's Government." For what is Sir ROBERT'S own view of the probabilities that any practical result will follow ? Just the most unfavourable one that can be imagined. The notion of an expenditure that will knock down his financial surplus, despite of the income-tax screw for raising it to the highest attainable pitch, drives him into ecsta cies of economical alarms, that are as pathetic as if they came from WINIFRED JENKINS. "At the same time, he (Sir R. PEEL) felt that the cost of carrying out their recommendations would be very great in deed. Take, for instance, the case of Dover alone, there would be a sum required of not less than 2,500,0001." So, again : "In measures of such vast importance, and involving such a very large outlay of money, the greatest conside ration was necessary on the part of the Executive. The Commissioners had divided their recommendations into classes, in which they stated that the carrying out of their suggestions as to Dover stood first, Portland second, Seaford third. They then gave a general esti mate of expense, which, however, could not be entirely relied upon, and which, as he had before stated, would require for Dover alone no less a sum than 2,500,0001. The experience of the expense already incurred at Holy head would cause him (Sir R. Peel) to be sure of his expenses before he entered upon any important works of the kind ; but inquiries were still being pursued." Now, let it be observed, in all this, not a word to impugn the vital, national, urgent, paramount ne cessity for those new defences and this harbour of re fuge at Dover. Only the expense of 2,500,0001. !-- a Prime Minister cannot get over that. He feels it is incumbent upon him to experience a sort of choking at the bare idea. " The experience derived from the cost already incurred at Holyhead is a warning to him." He will not, off-hand, engage in any more costly public works. And so he throws overboard, naming no day for taking them in again —holding out no hope of ever doing anything for them at all —Dover, Seaford, Portland, in succession. And what then ? Why, with an inconsistency, a violation of principles and pledges announced but the moment before—absolutely startling even in Sir ROBERT PEEL —he coolly announces, as to that " Holyhead," the charges already paid for which have taught him the frugal severity he has been so didactic upon when other ports were in question.--" Now, with respect to one of the ports mentioned by the Commissioners— he meant Holyhead—the recommendations made by them would be at once carried into effect, for the im portance of the intercourse between Ireland and this country required that this should be the case.—(Hear, hear.) But upon the other recommendations of the report, Government had not yet come to any decision." The mot de r enigme is too evident here, and the mystery of Sir ROBERTS' non sequitur is solved at a glance. "Ireland has been always my greatest difficulty," said he, on a memorable occasion, a long time ago. So she is still. Sir ROBERT cannot open the Exchequer to make Dover what it ought to be for the salvation of this country, in the event of hos tilities with France, which may break out at any moment; but he will do so at once to curry favour with his Irish supporters and the Irish people at large. No portion of the English press has more consistently or ardently vindicated the just claims and rights of the Irish people than our own journal; but we pro test against postponing, sine die, the national works essential at Dover, to the further improvement of Holyhead, at a vast expense, in addition to the im moderate sums already devoted to it, and on the Minister's single plea of the superior importance of still further facilitating the communication between England and Ireland. Is it the simple fact that he wishes to propitiate Irish support on the one hand, and prefers the Holyhead works because they will so much less diminish his surplus than the Dover works, on the other ? In our opinion he has seldom more egre giously or palpably committed himself; and we trust and hope that Parliament will insist on the recom mendations of the Committee's Report in favour of Dover being fully, promptly, and honestly carried into effect. The news brought by the Paris papers is not of much importance. The leading articles chiefly refer to the Queen VICTORIA'S speech, of which the Ministerial journals highly approve, while those of the Oppsition show e verywa3 them tar disposition o to uusweufuji condemn u it, but ttam without to arum thouteffeet ble. ' The Journal des Debats makes the following brief remarks on the paragraph relative'to the KING'S visit : " The QUEEN mentions, as is proper, with equal courtesy, the visits paid to her in the course of the year by two foreign Soverigns. But of these two, one was simply the guest of the Court of England, while the other was equally the guest of the Sovereign and of the natio Queen VICTORIA expresses a lively satisfaction at the reception given by the English people to the KING of the FRENCH, and she publicly associates herself in the de monstrations of her subjects, as her subjects had asso ciated themselves in the royal and gracious hospitality of their Sovereign. Such manifestations cannot but tighten the bonds of that good intelligence, the maintenance of which is on both sides looked on as essential to the dearest interests of the two countries." M. TRIERS paper is sadly puzzled to find out one flaw in the royal speech ; but, in order: to show that it labours in its vocation, has recourse to the Speech of Louis PHILIPPE, and drawn a contrast between the two documents. In adverting to that of the KING of the FRENCH, it says:— " What effusion, what enthusiasm, what prodigality of friendly and tender expressions! Is not the whole in ternal policy of France made subordinate to the heureux accord? The address of the Chamber of Deputies was no less verbose, no less exalted. The policy of the French Government is there made to be closely attached to the encerie cordiale. It is not only a polite expres sion of feeling on the subject of the KING'S journey, and a mark of goodwill towards the English nation; it is a formal and explicit declaration from M. GUIZOT, who, threatened in France, places himself under the protec tion of Great Britain. The English Government replies with agreeable phrases full of esteem for the KING of the FRENCH, with an earnest desire of a good understanding between the two countries ; but, in comparison with the passage we have quoted, the:language of the Queen of ENGLAND is reservad and almost frigid. The English Ministry evidentlyemprehends that the good under standing between the two kingdoms does not depend upon M. GulzoT alone ; not a word is sent in aid of our Cabinet in its distress, and there is not even a single allusion to the famous mixed Commission. But the most remarkable feature is the species of parallel, drawn by Sir ROBERT PEEL between the Emperor of Russrs and the KING of the FRENCH. The affections of the QUEEN incline towards our KING, while the Tory policy tends towards the EMPEROR. This sort of marked impartiality of England between the two alliances, is then, it appears, the only result gained by M. GUIZOT after so many sacrifices I The National in lashing itself into a passion is only still more ridiculous : "M. Guizot must hare experienced a pretty great disap pointment at the royal speech. It is in a tone of the greatest disdain that the Queen speaks of her good reports with the French Government. The famous visit to Windsor only oc cupies a little place in it, after two most gracious paragraphs on the visit of the Emperor Nicholas to England. The Mi nistry and its head ought to be satisfied. Exhibit, there fore, your baseness in profusion to please Great Britain ; be tray the interests of your country to serve her, demand and obtain an indemnity for the English agent who had caused your countrymen to be murdered. Now that the service is rendered—that the French flag has been lowered before that of England, you scarcely obtain an expression of thanks, and all the consideration is for the Emperor, who made no sacri fice at all." It is singular enough that not one of the papers makes the slightest allusion to that part of the QUEEN'S speech which recommends an increase in the navy estimates. The illondkur contains a report from the Minister of War, advocating strongly the advantages to be derived from the definitive establishment of a Normal School of Firing. The object of this school is stated to be princi pally to give efficient instructioes to the various regi ments, by which additional confidence shall be imparted to the troops by improving their aim individually. The report states that as General ROSTOLAN, who had been temporarily at the head of this department,-has been promoted to the command of the Polytechnic School, it appeared advisable to nominate definitively another ge neral officer to supply his place, arid concludes with re commending the Duke d'AtrmALE as a proper person to fill the vacant post.

PETHRSBURGH, JAN. 21.--Yesterday his Majesty the Emperor had a grand review of the whole garrison, and of the troops in cantonments in the neighbourhood. His Imrrial Majesty has confided to Ln-ut.-t-lerierfll Ludinsky the civil a iministration of the Caucasian provinces. Notwithstanding the vi:Alance of the Custom-house officers, a great deal of smuggling is carrie d on bAween Finland and Russia, particularly in colonial produce, because the duties are so low in Sweden, and especially by m ens of the steam-boats. It is probable that the Government may be induced, by these continual fraud:, to abolish the very great commercial privilege of Finland, and to subject it to the regulations, existing in Russia. HANOVER, JAN. 31.—His Majesty the King has been pleased to give a private audience to his Excellency the Count Von Siekendorff, Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Prussia at this Court, who has returned from Berlin. HANOVER, FEB. I.—The Crown Prince has been suf fering for some time from a disorder in his eyes, which assumes an inflammatory character, but is now so far happily recovered that his Royal Highness has been able to ride out in his carriage. The Prince, to whom the greatest care is said .o be recommended, is visited every day by his Royal Father. BREMEN, JAN. 31.—We learn that Holland will make concessions to the Zollverein, which will exceed those of Brussels, offering to place the ships of the Zollverein on an equality with those under Dutch colours, by which Holland will secure to itself the consignment to the co lonies of the productions of Germany. Ships belonging to the Zollverein are to pay a duty pro forma, in the Dutch colonies, which is to be repaid in Holland. THE HAGUE, FEB. 6.—The Second Chamber of the States General met to-day, at half-past two o'clock, to re sume its labours after the adjournment. After some preliminary business, it received six Royal messages, accompanying so many projects of law, with the expla natory memorials:-Ist. On the tax on oxen, horses, and sheep, for the benefit of the agricultural interest. 2. On the drawing up of deeds relative to civil trans actions in foreign countries. 3. On the collection of taxes. 4. For regulating and completing the special funds intended to carry into effect the law on the cur rency. 5. Relative to the militia, and service in the army. 6. On expropriation for the public benefit. All these documents having been already presented, I were ordered to be distributed among the Members, and, together with the budget for 1846 and 1847, which were distributed in the sitting of 28th Dec., 1844, referred to the sections. The projects of law and the explanatory memorials fill above 116 columns of the official journal and the supplements, and are not yet concluded. THE HAGUE, FEB. 7.—The Staats Courant of to day publishes the long-expected royal ordinance, appointing his Excellency J. J. Rochusson to the post of Governor-General of the Dutch possessions and colonies in the East Indies, ordering at the same time that he is to exercise his functions as Minister Plenipotentiary at Brussels till that post shall otherwise be filled up. This resolution is dated the sth inst. AMSTERDAM, FEB. B.—:The Handebblad has a private letter from Batavia, of the 25th Oct., 1844, a hich states that dreadful ravages have been caused by inundation in the north of China, and in the environs of Canton. Thousands and thousands of the inhabitants hake perished, and the damage done is incalculable. The Mandarins do their utmost to conceal th. particulars fearing that if they came to the krowledge of the Em peror, they might be made responsible for the giving say of the dikes. What we hear from private pe --otos Is dreadful. Yet all these are trifling compared with what has occurred on- the shore of the Yellow sea. hese provinces are partly inund , ted. and the population, amounting to sixteen or seventeen millions, lost almost all they possesslxl. The survivors, with their families. are dispersed over China as beggars. The high price of rice is an additional caue of distress. LLOYD'S SHE PPIN DEPARTURE OF FOREIGN MAILS.

The Bank of England averages give an increase of 104,1751. in the amount of notes issued, of 89,2481. in the rest, and of 78,7581 in the amount of bullion. The calculations are for the week ending the Ist inst. The greater scarcity of money does not ate, therefore, from any action of the Bank. The West India snail is still due, though it was yesterday reported on 'Change that it had arrived. The resolutions on railway Bills, agreed to last night by Parliament, are considered satisfactory, and will be in favour of legitimate undertakings. The Caledonian line, by the accounts from Scotland, appears to receive unanimous sup port. Irish lines are also in good repute, and another im portant, though short, one is on the tapis—viz , from Armagh to Coleraine and Portrush. The Funds are quiet, but, as regards Consols, were not quite so good as yesterday, upon a sale being made at 99 1 /, though now they are up again to 9934. Bank Stock has re ceded to 213% and 213.

It is probable, however, that the reaction is only temporary. South-Eastern are steady. Trent Valley have improved ; Birmingham and Gloucester are firm ; and also Brighton and North British. Caledonian are fluctuating. Eastern Counties are steadier. There are one or two other exceptions also to apparent downward tendency. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

It is somewhat curious to observe in how different a manner a French Ministry and an English Premier regard the important business of providing, on the coasts of the country whose affairs they respectively preside over, harbours of refuge. A morning Con temporary very well observed, a day or two ago, on this subject (to which it will be in the recollection of our readers we have ourselves repeatedly entreated the grave attention of the public), that " The French Chambers have been discussing the pro priety of preparing fortified breakwaters to shelter armed steamers upon that portion of their coast opposite our shores, and have voted money for their erection; while English Commissioners have recommended the construction of harbours of refuge in our Channel, wherein our mercantile marine may find protection from the storm in peace, and from hostile cruisers in war. Each nation is acting wisely in its generation, for the most effectual means to prevent war consist in pre parations for it." Sir ROBERT PEEL, if we may judge of his in tentions on the subject from a speech which he de livered on Wednesday evening, has not yet made up his mind on any one point enforced in the report of his own Commissioners. The French Chambers, we sween,tehrasveaand fortslread yvot t e h d at th ar e m e oonaeled y l for f t o h r e nbeyw similar r exigencies on their part, to those on our's which gave rise to the Commission, of whose labours we lately pushed s b o l onh long ago t go e a st very be springvaluable or results. summer of 1843, the Duke of WELLINGTON had impressed upon a Parliamentary Committee, in his emphatic way, the very great urgency of erecting block houses and other fortified posts, more particularly on our southern shores, and of con. structipg these bubo= of refuge at various parts of RAILWAY &HARES.

LIVERPOOL SUNDAY MORNING. The fine packet ship Yorkshire, commanded by Captain Bailey, arrived here last night, after an excel lent passage from New York, whence she sailed on the 16th ultimo, bringing papers from that city two days later than those previously received. They con tain no news of striking interest. The annexation of Texas was still the all-absorbing topic. France, it would appear from the tone of the New York Sun, is now viewed as an enemy of the great Republic, and is said to have designs upon Mexico ; to the intrigues of French emissaries and the influence of Gallic gold is attributable the downfall of Santa Anna; and the marriage of Prince de Joinville with a Brazilian Princess is spoken of as the first part of a gigantic scheme for establishing French supremacy in South America. Texas, preliminary steps to bring aboutA Bill, was presented to Congress on the 13th of January, by Mr. Foster, of Tennessee, and was received, and various petitions for authorising annexation theo of Team, and against that measure were presented. In the House of Representatives there had also been debating on the same question, without any practical result. The resolutions were read and referred to a Com mittee of the whole House. The Aladisonian coolly remarks that Colonel Benson will not deem it necessary, in the present po sition of Mexico, to require the consent of that coun try to the annexation of Texas. A meeting of the Abolitionists of New England to oppose the annexa tion was to be held at Boston on the 29th ult. A report made by the Secretary of the Treasury of the State of Pennsylvania goes far in support of the promises made a short time since, that the future interest of the public debt will be punctually paid. Some unpleasant occurrences have taken place between the Government of New Grenada and the American Consul, Mr. Sancha, that gentleman having been forcibly ejected from his office, and another person appointed in his place. Full particulars of the affair are not given, but the American citizens appear to have been in favour of Mr. Sancha. NEW YORK COMMERCIAL MARKETS, JAN. 16. Favourable accounts from England have rendered the Cotton Market more buoyant and firm. There is little doing in exchanges. We quote bills on London, 110 to 1101- ; on Paris 5.2 k to 5.211. Mr. Polk, the President elect, is expected to arrive in Washington, on the 15th instant. The New York Herald announces that the return of _Mr. Webster to the Senate of the United States, for the State of I\lassachuiets, is certain. Colonel W. Polk, brother of the President elect, has been appointed, by President Tyler, to the post of Charge d'Affaires of the United States at the Court of Naples. Mr. Cardwell, the newly-appointed Secretary of the Treasury, has selected Mr. Home Rushworth, of that department, to be his private secretary. Mr. Rushworth had, we understand, previously acted, for the last three years, as private secretary to Sir George Clerk.— Observer. D .

The following are the questions submitted on behalf of the Board of Heads of Houses and Proctors, respecting the proposi. tions to be brought before Convocation in the matter of Mr. Ward; and opinion of the Solicitor. General, Sir Charles Wetherell, Dr. Addams, and Mr. Cowling : " Winnows. " 1. Whether the' University has any power of depriving a p►rty for any cause of any degree which has been conferred upon him ? "2. Whether the extracts given in the notice issued by the Board of Heads of Houses and Proctors contain sufficient cause to justify the degradation of Mr. Ward ? "3. Whether the House of Convocation has the power of de. gradation in this case ? _ . "4. Whether in proceeding to degrade Mr. Ward the Univer sity will render itself liable to a writ of mandamus at his suit ?" "ANSWER. "1. We are of opinion that the University has the power to degrade, and that that power is by no means limited or confiued to cases of prior conviction of an offence by a court of competent jurisdiction, nor to those particular cases enumerated in the statutes to which degradation is specifically annexed. " 2. V* e are of opinion that the extracts set forth in the notice contain sufficient cause to justify the House of Convocation, as representing the University, in taking cognisance of them, and coming to a decision on the subject, with a view to the degra. dation of Mr. Ward : but whether, in the result, the charge preferred against him shall appear sufficient to justify the house in degrading him is a conclusion which must rest entirely with, and be formed by, the members of Convocation upon considera. tion of the whole matter. " 3. Provided Convocation shall upon consideration come to the conclusion that Mr. Ward ought to be degraded. we are aware of no ground for impeaching or questioning the validity of the degradation. "4. If the determination of Convocation should be to degrade Mr. Ward, and he should apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ of mandamus to restore him, we are of opinion that it will be an answer to it, that her Majesty is Visitor of the Uni versity, and that the subject lies exclusively within the pro vince of her Majesty as Visitor, and that any complaint against the proceedings of Convocation must be made to her Majesty in that capacity, and cannot be withdrawn from her jurisdiction.

Evans Lloyd, Esq., and that it contains about 150 pages of the German original, not to be found in any other translation. These pages corn prise the very interesting Journey of the Prince into Upper Egypt, in company with Mehemet Ali, the Voy age on the Nile, and the Visit to the Pyramids. THREE YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPLE ; OR, Do- MESTIC MANNERS OF THE TURKS. BY CHARLES WHITE, ESQ.—Mr. White resided long enough in Con stantinople to make himself familiar, not only with the outward features of the city, but with the domestic lives, customs, prejudices, and modes of thought of its inhabitants. His book is, therefore, to be taken as the production of one having authority. He had abundant opportunities of studying the people among whom he was thrown; and he has used them with great diligence, perseverance, and intelligence. These " Three Years in Constantinople" may, indeed, be safely taken as a text book with respect to Turkey, its people, and its man ners. The very amplitude and minuteness of detail with which it abounds constitute much of the value of a work professing to give a full and complete view of Constanti nople as it exists—of its inhabitants, in their streets, in their bazaars, and in their homes. Mr. White's useful work is well worthy of the attentive study of all who would know Tur;:ey as it is. Full, searching, complete, it will dissipate many prejlidices, dispel many vague no tions popularly entertained of the much maligned Turks.—Morning Chronicle. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT STRATFORD.—About half past ten o'clock on Saturday night much alarm was felt in the village of Stratford, Essex, owing to a disastrous fire at the extensive premises of Nlessrs. Curtis and Son. builders, adjacent to the pariah church. It appears that it was first raging in that part of the works termed the drying stores. The watchman on duty gave the alarm.

THE ROYAL VISIT to BRIGHTON BRIGHTON, FRIDAY EYENING, HALP-PAIT SlL—The special train, conveying her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the Royal suite, was signalled as being in sight, on emerging from Patcham.tunnel, at fourteen minutes to five o'clock. At this time a large number of persons, who had been admitted by tickets, were assembled at the terminus, and great anxiety was displayed to catch the first glimpse of the royal carriage. A splendid and spacious pavilion had been fitted up on the arrival-platform, for her Majesty's reception,by Mr. Bridges, carriage-maker to the London and Brighton Railway Company, under the superintendence of Mr. Statham, the resident engineer_ The building was solidly con structed ; the temporary walls were lined in a tasteful manner with crimson drapery, fringed with yellow. It was lighted by an elegant bronze chandelier with three branches; there were two splendid glasses on the walls, and on a table were same groups of Sowers, executed in wax by the Misses Pack ham, of East-street. An escort of the Enniskillens was in waiting at the station. The afternoon being delightfully clear and fine, the scene at the ter minus was most animated. Precisely at ten minutes to five the train stopped opposite the Pavillion, over which the royal stan. dard now waved; and her Majesty was received by Captain Kelly, R.N., and Mr. E. Crowley (two of the Directors), and by Mr. Statham (the engineer), and Mr. Pountain (the superintendent of traffic). The engine was driven by Mr. Benjamin Cubitt (engi neer to the Dover, Brighton, and Croydon Companies). The r.r. rival of her Majasty was greeted by several hearty rounds of applause. Her Majesty in a few minutes left the station, and the royal cortege, escorted by the Enniskillens, proceeded at a foot pace down Trafalgar street, and along St. George's place, Gloucester-place, Marlborough.place, to the northern entrance to the Palace. Crowds of the inhabitants and visitors lined the route, and bursts of loyal applause greeted her Majesty during the whole of her progress to the Palace. Carriages lined the road for above half a mile northward of the Falace.gate, at which place her Ma'esty was received by Mr. G. Chittenden, high-constable of the hundred of Whalesbone, and his head boroughs. The Scots Fusileers formed a guard of honour at the Palace-gates. The moment her Majesty alighted at the station was Indicated by the hoisting of the royal standard at the terminus, from which place the signal was conveyed telegraphically to the various public buildings of the town. A merry peal at once struck up at the church of St. Nicholas. In the eveni,:g, her Majesty's tradesmen and many of the inhabitants illuminated their houses. Some of the devices were very brilliant.

West Briton. SUMMARY OF NEWS IH.~ . • . The Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday make no mention of recrptioas at the Tuileries for some days, but the reason is not assigned. The herbearg Journal says:—" We are assured that the Forte and Rene Blanche, which are now in this pert. are to be imme diately fitted out to serve as the escort of the Prince de Joinville in the voyage which he is about to perform to Brasil. The Pride, will, it is said, take the command of the squadron, of which the Mogadore of the line will form part. The object of this ex pedition is, it is added, the settlement of the affairs of La Plata. The Fria cease de Joinville will accompany the Prince, wh o will leave her le Bruil during the expedition to La Plata." According to a letter from Gorits, the ei-Royal fa"' ha ee determined to remove is the spring to Frolis s iorf, near Wiener Neustadt, and to fix their residence there. Several of the Paris Journals state that the widow of 00 0 1 Michel has sent to the Minister of the Interior a petition WWI the inscription of—la Garde meurt ct ne se rend pelf, intended to be placed on the monument to General Cambron ne at Da ni el: These These words, says the petitioner, were spoken by General iliac It would be absurd certainty to attribute them to Carobroooe, who surrendered himself prisoner at Waterloo.
