THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character it has hitherto obtained of furnishing to its readers, and with the greatest minuteness of detail, the EARLIEST and MOST EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE of POLITICAL and PUBLIC MOVEMENTS, from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION. The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, the Church, Taxa tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici pation, to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with the policy of its own friends but with the intentions of the Govern ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation of the official organs, must be self-evident to all. In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle" is of larger size than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the best Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected reading, as well in General Literature, Fashion, Science, and the • Drama. as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than any other Weekly Journal.

A li t""• 1 • Morning :mL LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY We have always been sceptical as to the amount of public benefit likely to result from the constitution of the Board for the transaction of railway business— created under Minute of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, in August last. The grounds assigned for this innovation on the practice of former years are, in themselves, not merely specious, but very sound ones. It had long been felt that it was necessary to economise the time of Parlia ment, to the extent of relieving it from the unprofit able but indispensable preliminary discussions de manded by the terminal points, selected lines of pro jection, proposed levels, gradients, &c., and by the probable expenses of the cuttings, embankments, con- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1845. structions, plant, and all other details connected with railroads, for which parties came forward to obtain the sanction of the Legislature. It was acknowledged as a grievous fact, within the experience of both Houses, that, after devoting from week to week, and month to month, the labour of many hours a day to such investigations, and to the hearing of counsel for consenting as well as for opposing parties, the exami nation of surveys, plans, and specifications, and the conflicting allegations of innumerable petitions ; it had been frequently disoovered, after the Select Com mittees had reported in favour of a particular Railway Bill ; and Parliament, acting on such report, had passed such Bill through, all its stages ;—petitions and projects came before the House of Commons for constructing, between the extreme termini of such specific railroad, "a competing line," as it was called. In some cases this competing line was found to be so much better than that which had been already ap proved of and reported on, that it was found im possible to refuse the permission prayed for to bring in a Bill for its accomplishment. In many more it resulted that, though, in some particulars, the " com peting line" might offer preferable advantages, it was not, as a whole, as much entitled to legislative sanction as that which had been already affirmed. Thus, after attaining to the stage of a first, or a second reading, or even to the maturity of entering a " Committee of the whole House," it was dropped, or, upon vote, thrown out. In all such instances the great evil was, that a vast amount of valuable time, which was abstracted from the due consideration and routine of the most important public and official busi ness, was fruitlessly sacrificed to the formal enter tainment of Railroad Bills, and inquiries that proved either utterly abortive, or were mere repetitions of those previously devoted to similar schemes, better or worse, as the case might be, but at any rate which had been earlier brought forward. It must be obvious that such a mode of transacting this description of business was calculated to encourage a spirit of gambling speculation on the issue of any pending Railway Bill, and to promote the most hopeless, and, at the same time, the most expensive litigation between parties to originally proposed, and parties to competing lines. Nor can it be denied that that mischievous accumulation of public business, the arrears of which it is found, at the close of every session, to sweep off with an un considering rapidity and wholesale dealing of which it is impossible to exaggerate the mischief, the in convenience, or the indecorums, has been greatly owing to the absorbing occupation of railway busi ness. So far, therefore, as related to the economy of Parliamentary time, the discouragement of specu lative litigation, and the diminution of legal expenses in the process of soliciting and carrying Railroad Bills through the Legislature, the new Board may be pronounced an useful and a successful experiment. But it remains yet to be proved whether it will effect any such dispatch of the public and official business of the country in Parliament, or work any such diminution of gambling in railway scrip, as can compensate for that vicious principle of its constitu tion to which we have, in a former article, directed attention—namely, the indirect, but virtual, inter position which its arbitrary findings carry—with the disposition and employment of private capital. That men should expend large sums of money in the bootless agitation of particular schemes for its investment, both without and within the walls of Parliament, is bad. That capitalists should make ducks and drakes of their money by throwing it into concerns which in the nature of things never can re pay them (whether from the excessive expenses at tendant on the construction of the proposed work, or the disproportionate paucity of the passengers and traffic to be reasonably calculated upon)—this, also, is bad. But both the one and the other are evils, the inevitable tendency of which is to correct themselves, and the utmost possible extent of which is measured, perhaps, by the loss sustained by the individual parties. But to legitimate, by Act of Parliament, or Minute of the Committee of Lords of the Privy Council for Trade, or any ether authority, the inter ference of a Select Board, delegated without either the election or consent, the control or the nomina tion, of the persons whose interests it is, in effect, to report upon, by recommending Parliament to grant the Bill craved by A B, but to refuse that ap plied for by C D ;—this is really to hazard—at the least—an evil of far more serious and extensive mis chief. It is to oppose the authority and influence of a publicly-recorded official opinion to the free opinion and unbiassed action of the capitalist; a policy not only at direct variance with the first principles of free trade, but directly opposed to that noble spirit which has consolidated and extended the commerce of this country to a degree never before witnessed by the world. What would have become of those great public—aye, national works, in Great Britain, which present to the admiration of the foreigner the glorious anomaly of such achievements consummated neither by the public will, nor by the national funds, but by individual enterprise and by private capital, if this sort of pseudo-paternal and protective authority had existed among us, when the New River, the Bridge water Canal, the Decks of London, Bristol, Liver pool, the noblest bridges of the metropolis, or the two finest railroads in the world, the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, were constructed ? The consideration of competing lines—the nervous apprehensions of such a self-assumed official respon sibility would have crushed these magnificent under takings in the germ. And, again, the Railway Board of Privy Council, or by whatever other title we are to recognise it, can only be tolerable so long as its "Reports" carry with them the concurrence of a large proportion of public opinion. Their powers are powers which will only be tolerable in virtue of extreme moderation in their exercise. Their "Reports" to Parliament, however, in name but preliminary incidents in the history and progress of any given Railway Bill, will, in effect, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, be decisive of the fate of such Bill. By the etiquette and in the practice of Parliament it is not very usual for Members to turn round and re pudiate the recommendations, suggestions, or reports of official departments. Now, with all our respect for Major-General PASLEY, and the Earl of Dar.- nottsrE, and Mr. G. S. PORTER (with whose talents and knowledge everybody must be, to some extent, acquainted), not to mention their colleagues, Mr. D. O'BRIEN and Mr. S. LAING (who may be less before the world); we, for our parts, shall be always greatly disinclined to accept their opinion on the merits of a railroad scheme, when it happens to be opposed to the more valuable, because practical and tested, opi nions of first-rate engineers of high professional cha racter, and as much respected for their disinterested ness and integrity as for their engineering science and success. Yet, on a division, we venttre to predict that three men out of five in the House Of Commons will follow where the report of LOr I DALHOUSIE, Gen. PASLISY, and their official cone agues lead them, rather than the most decis:va a distinct report which carries no higher voucher] than such names as BUUNEL or STEPHENSON, LOCKE, GILES, CUBITT, &c. Any guarantee which the Board is supposed to offer for the adoption of the best of competing lines, or the adoption of the good and r e j ec ti on o f t h e b ad of original schemes, is, therefore, illusory. As for the moderation of the Board, we see not much matter for hope, in gazetted notices, that exhibit, as it ap pears to us, a proportion of about two•thirds rejected to one of approved application. Meantime the gambling speculations in "railroad scrip" are carried on more extensively than ever. It is only the stage which is allied in respect of them. It is no longer whether a Government Bill will reach a third reading in the Commons, or—pass the House of Lords, and receive the royal assent ;—but whether it will be recommended by the Board of Trade, or thrown out. We hope some Members will bring the question of the continuance of this Board, upon its present con stitution, under the early notice of Parliament. Madrid papers of the 26th ult. have been received. On the 25th the Senate resumed the discussion of the Bill for the conversion of certain claims of Govern ment contractors into Three per Cent. Stock, in the course of which Senor CORASCO, formerly Finance Minister, said it never was the intention of the Ca binet with which he was connected to restore Church property, or susp en d i ts sale. The proposed measure relative to that point be considered prejudicial to the interests of the country. Senor Mox , tho present Finance Minister, said the Cabinet regarded that measure as absolutely necessary, and were fully per suaded that a due maintenance ought to be provided for the clergy. It could in no way injure public credit. The Chamber of Deputies was engaged in discussing the Bill for the maintenance of nunneries. In allusion to the sale of national property, the Mi nister of the Interior said the Government had pro posed to itself a system embodying two principles— respect for existing interests, and reparation as far as it was just and practicable. This seemed to be the general feeling of the Chamber. On the 26th the Three per Cents. were done at 218 for cash, and 32i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 24 at 60 days, and the Coupons at 27 at 60 days. The French Opposition show a determination to adhere to their new system of tactics—to avoid not only talking, but also voting, and hold up the Cham ber of Deputies to the people as a useless incum brance, and, under present circumstances, not entitled to the slightest authority. By adhering to this plan, they believe that the business of the session will be brought to a stand, and that the Government will be compelled either to resign or dissolve the Chamber, Either alternative would, in their estimation, be equally favourable to what one of their journals calls the "friends of peace and order, and the honour of France," meaning, of course, the THIERe party, because a dissolution of Parliament would be as good as a resignation of Ministers, at a time when the out cry against the Pritchardites is fresh and vigorous. Their plan is this—the Chamber consists of 459 Mem bers, and, according to the constitution, at least 260 Members, or one-half, must be present to render a vote effective. The Ministry on the last great division could not muster more than 213 supporters, and cannot reckon on more, so that if the whole Opposition were to absent them selves no business whatever could be transacted. This passive resistance is to be extended even to words, for the mouths of Duel's, BARROT, BILLAULT, and the other Opposition orators are to be shut, and the attention and indignation too of the public are to be roused by silence. This wild scheme which can not be possibly carried into effect is declared feasable, and recommended for adoption by one of the promi nent Opposition journals. " It is confidently asserted," says the Courrier Francais, " that the adversaries of the Cabinet intend abstaining from taking any part in the approaching discussion on the Secret Service Money Bill. We cannot say if this measure has been concerted between the heads of the various opposing fractions of the Chamber; it is spoken of, and we shall express our opinion on it freely. 'This conduct appears to us commanded by that which was fol lowed in the vote on the Address. Nothing is changed in the state of things, and unless to be incon sistent with its former conduct, the Opposition can not change its attitude ; every vote, besides, sup poses a discussion. But at present all discussion, which does not warn the Government and convert the Chamber, is only an empty noise. In face of the course determined on, there is nothing dignified and sensible, but an inexorable resolution. The country has no longer any necessity to be edified about the morality of a Ministry which has a history of four years ; everything is before the open day, and more eloquent than language will be the silence of the tribune and the suppression of the vote. The country will comprehend the value of this act. For our part, we unreservedly approve of the system of abstaining. The Parliamentary Government can not be raised in public opinion but by an energetic, consistent, and continued line of conduct. A com mencement has been made, and it must be persevered in. Let there be in the Chamber two well separated camps ; on one side the Ministry and Ultra-Conser vatives, on the other side the friends of peace and order, and the honour of France. France will judge." This last resource, however, is considered even by the France as of a dangerous tendency, as well as contrary to the constitution of the Chamber. That journal thus alludes to the scheme : "Alarming rumours for the Cabinet were yesterday in circulation. It was stated that the Opposition was determined to abstain from voting on the Secret Service Money Bill, which is about to be immediately submitted to the Chamber. To well understand what would be the gravity of such a resolution, the state of parties in the Chamber must be borne in mind. Out of 420 Members of which it is most frequently composed, 213 only vote with the Cabinet, whereas the Opposition consists of a formidable minority of 205 votes. Admit as much as you please defections from this minority, you will never find them in sufficient number to make up, with the 213 Conservatives, a total of 230 votes. But this number is indispensable, according to the regulations, for the votes of the Chamber; and when it does not attain that amount, the ballots and votes are declared de facto null and void. In such a strange conjuncture as the present, which certainly had not been foreseen, the Opposition could neutralise and render of no avail the whole Governmental action. In the impossibility of finding the 230 votes in dispensable for the validity of Parliamentary decisions, the Cabinet would find itself constantly with its illusory majority on its back, by the side of a still more illusory ballot. This would be the rudest and most notable slap in the face that was ever given to stubborn Governments, less particular about moral influence than the material part of a political success. Far be it from us to encou rage this demonstration. In our mind, the Parliamen tary mandate does not admit of abstinence from voting. But the extreme measure with which the Ministry is threatened evidently proves that there is no longer any government possible with doubtful majorities. If a Deputy is morally ordered to vote in all circumstances, it is not less imperative on a Cabinet, already in dis favour, to retire, before the energetic disapprobation of imposing minorities. Its persistence under all circum stances deeply falsifies the views and economy of the representative system." The Globe in noticing the rumour, says : " The Opposition has already tried this system of tac tics on the voting of the Address, but it could only draw off thirty votes, who, while thus showing their opposition to the Ministry, still thought that the representative Go vernment ought not to be treated lightly, and that it was not allowable to stop its movements under the pretence that it did not act for their profit. We cannot believe that serious men, who have been, and may again become, Ministers, like M. Dufaure and his friends, will lend themselves to the creation of a precedent which, if fol lowed, would render a representative Government im practicable. It would not be opposition that the adver saries of the Cabinent would make by taking such a line of conduct—and they have a right to make opposition, provided it be conscientious and loyal—it would be revo lution. It would not be the Ministry that they would overthrow, but the Constitutional Government. It has been pretended that it was the Hon. M. Dupin who con ceived the idea of this manoeuvre. It is impossible ! M. Dupin has given too many pledges of his sincere attach ment to our institutions for him ever to attempt to sacrifice them in a spirit of rancour. DI. Dupin has his fits of ill-humour, which lead him to opposition, but which can never lead him to revolution. One of the highest magis trates of the kingdom, a Procureur-General of the Court of Cassation, can never set such an example of contempt for the political law of the nation." The accounts of the Opposition movements given by the Siecle are, however, much more probable. TIIIERS, for MOLE'S name now is hardly ever men tioned, is going to fight the battle in a constitutional way to the last, and the first trial will be on the appointment of M. SALVANDY to the department of Public Instruction. That Member is one of the Vice- Presidents, and as he could not fill that office at the same time, a successor must be appointed. A trial of strength, therefore, is to be made on the actual ap pointment of U. SALVANDY, and is expected will " come off" in the course of the week, either on this change or the Secret Service Money Bill. According to the Const: tutionncl, the Minister of the In terior is reported to have made known to a great many Members that the Chamber will be dissolved after the present session, and that the general election will be held in November. We learn by a letter from Berne, of the 27th ult., that a Central Committee of the Anti-Jesuit party has been formed there, and that it has already opened a corres pondence with every part of Switzerland, for the purpose of a strong demonstration against the canton of Lucerne. On the other hand, the Government of Lucerne, in anticipation of an attack, has issued an order for the general arming of the canton. _ A letter from Alexandria of the 10th says : "In sending his grandson to France Mehemet Ali wrote a letter to the Duke de Nemours, recommending him particularly to his kindness. The Prince replied to the Paella in the most friendly terms. The letter was immediately translated and read to the Viceroy, who gave orders for his principal officers to be assembled, and had the letter read aloud in their presence, interrupting the reading frequently by expressions of gratitude.'

TEE HAGUE, JAN. 30.—The Hande/sb/ad communi cates the following remarkable comparative view of the different kinds of sugar exposed for sale by the Com mercial Society of the Netherlands, from the year 1836 to 1844, inclusive Piculs. Brown. Yellow. Grey.

Baud, the Minister of the Colo nies, who takes the greatest care to ascertain if the pro duct corresponds , with the model specimens. Thus, by degrees, from a given quality, more than two-thirds per cent. of white sugar have been obtained, and less than two-thirds of brown, whereas in 1837 the quantity of brown produced from the same quantity Ras more than double that of white ; and what renders this result the more happy is, that while the quality is constantly improving there is likewise an increase in the quantity, as is evident from the preceding table. THE HAGUE, JAN. 31.—The Stoats Courant pub lishes a resolution of his Majesty, dated Tilburg, 28th of January, for the increase of the capital to the repayment of the sixth series of the inscription, at 5 per cent., of the national debt. The Stuats Courant publishes also the convention con cluded between the Netherlands and France on the 17th of November, 1844, relative to the reciprocal extradition of malefactors guilty of certain offences therein specified. This convention was ratified at the Hague. LEYDEN, JAN. 28.—We hear that his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses the Princes will honour with their presence the celebration of the anniversary of our University, on the Bth of February next, when the stu dents will have a grand masquerade in the evening. Pre parations are everywhere making to give lustre to this interesting fete. The subject chosen—" The entry of Count Floris 11., with the newly created Knights of St. James, for the Tournament at the Hague, in 1379"—is national and important. The costumes will be elegant and splendid. A great deal of company from all the neighbouring places is expected. ROTTERDAM, JAN. 29.—There is a person in this city who boasts that he is in possession of secrets, discovered by himself, which are of great importance to society in general, and especially to our country. Among them, he says, that by long-continued research and experiment in ice clearing, a river, however large or broad, and how ever obstructed by ice, may be cleared in a short time and at a small expense. THE HAGUE, JAN. 30.—His Majesty the King has re turned from Tilburg to-day. The Minister of Finance gives notice that the opportunity to exchange Fire per Cents. for Four per Cents. (the latter to be taken at 98 : 1) has been made use of to the amount of 9,449,000 florins. FLANDERS MA [L. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES. BRUSSELS, JAN. 31.—M. D. Foere concluded to-day the speech which he begun yesterday, acknowledging that if the proceedings of the Ministry had not been always worthy of praise, it bad given proof of excellent intentions ; he promised to vote in its favour. M. Castian, following M. de Foere, showed at the very commencement some discouragement. He does not believe that the moment for the triumph of the Opposi tion is yet come. The joint responsibility which M. Nothomb has induced his colleagues to admit is a pledge of his success. He sees in the speech of M. de Decker a torch of discord to which he will not reply, because he does not desire to raise irritating questions. The ser vices rendered on this occasion by M. de Decker to M. Nothomb are in return for the services rendered by M. Nothomb to Catholic opinion. M. Castian then endeavoured to justify his party from every accusation of intrigue and manoeuvring. He de clared that he renounced neither his colours nor his plan of attack against the majority. M. de Haerne, in reply to M. Castian, expressed to the left his entire distrust of the moral and economical principles. lid would vote against M. Ory's motion. Devaux endeavoured to answer the question which had been put to him from several quarters, viz., on what basis he thought that a mixed Cabinet might be consti tuted? and he now admitted this time what he had before always denied, that a mixed Ministry was preferable to one that was homogeneous—only he thought that this Ministry should be composed of the leading men of the two great parties, to command the_confidence of the country. The Minister of the Interior took notice of this con fession, and proceeded to show the impracticability of containing in one Cabinet the representatives of the two extreme opinions. The Chamber was evidently weary. The discussion was closed. The names of the Members being called over, it appeared that 89 were present, and the question being put on M. Ory's motion for an address to the King, there appeared 65 against it, and 22 for it. Two Members, Messrs. De Chunay and De Smet declined voting. We learn from Tirlemont that the workmen are pro ceeding with great diligence in clearing the tunnel of Cumpitch. Two hundred are constantly employed. The body of the man buried under the earth has not yet been found. It is in contemplation to create in the University of Brussels a phrenological museum and professorship.

The annual report of the East India and China Trade Association has just been circulated. It is an interest ing document in many respects. The following is an extract from it relative to the navigation laws:— " A subject of some importance was brought to the notice of the Committee by a communication from the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, as to the number of British seamen required for the navigation of British vessels from India.. " The Committee communicated the same to the Ge neral Shipowners' Society. They also submitted the point to the Hon. Commissioners of the Customs, and baying received that Hon. Board's reply, they transmitted acopy to the Bombay Chamber, and forwarded the original Customs' letter to the Hon. Coart of Directors of the East India Company, who have made a communication to the Bombay Government." Upon the subject of the introduction of Mysore coffee the Committee thus remarks in their report " The Committee have to inform you, that, after a lengthened correspondence between the East Lila Company and her Majesty's Government, the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade de clared it to be their opinion that Mysore cannot be reasonably regarded as a foreign country, and they therefore recommended the Lords of the Treasury to proceed upon that opinion in any instructions they may be called upon to give in relation to the adminis tration of the revenue laws. After waiting some time without finding any orders issued on the subject, your Committee drew their Lordships' attention to it, and they were favoured with a letter, dated tho 13th of June, in which their Lordships state, that Mysore sugar, and other articles, are a dmissible as the pro duce of Madras, which intelligence the Committee communicated to the several Chambers of Commerce in India." The commercial advices received from the United States and Canada do not contain any information re vidog especial uotice. It is stated tu tome quaztors connected with Canadian affairs, that Sir Charles, or now Baron Metcalfe, will, in all probability, remain in the colony longer than was anticipated when the last accounts were received from thence. . . -- The principal transactions in the English Stock Market to-day have been in Bank Stock, which has touched 2151, but the value is now 1 per cent. lower. Consols for the Account have been done at 100/ and and for Money at par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have varied ouly from 104 k to 1041. The pre mium on Exchequer-bills has fallen from 655. to 625., since which a few purchases have been made at 645. premium. India Stock opened at 286, but it is now at 285. In most of the Foreign Bonds there has been an ad vance to-day, and a considerable amount of business has been transacted. The Austrian Five per Cents. havo reached 115. Spanish Five per Cents. have receded to 281; the Three per Cents. to 414. Mexican Bonds have improved to 36k 1; the Converted Portuguese to 594; the Brazilian to 904; the Chilian to 1014; the Belgian Scrip, 1 prem.; and the Dutch Five per Cents. to 99.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AL GRAVESEND.—On Satur day morning, at an early hour, Gravesend was the scene of another destructive fire, which, at one period of its ravages, threatened to become as serious in magnitude as the conflagration in June last. It commenced in the same street, on the premises known as the Kentish Inde pendent newspaper and printing-office, situate on the north side of the street, adjoining the Pope's Head public-house, within a few doors of High-street. During the early part of the morning the compositors and pressmen were on the premises, striking off the paper, the Keniish independent, it being publishing day, and on their leaving at three o'clock the lights were safe and extinguished, and the place was locked up. How ever, at about ten minutes before four o'clock the police man, in passing along the street, noticed an unusual glare in one of the composing rooms. Among the first to come to his assistance was Mr. Beard, a butcher, living directly opposite, who breaking open the front door with a weight, went into the premises with the police man, and, upon their proceeding up stairs, found the flames confined to one room. Buckets of water being at hand, they exerted themselves to suppress it, but without any effect, and before many minutes had transpired it burst from the windows, creating terror and alarm to the whole people of Gravesend. In the in terim information had been sent up to the officers on duty at the station under the Town-hall, who, it is but justice to state, were very expert in turning out the corporation engines. The alarm bell being rung, plenty of aid was soon obtained, and the engines when got into play were worked with considerable energy. The fire being ob served by a sentinel posted at Tilbury Fort, on the op • polite side of the river, notice was given to the com manding officer of the garrison, who immediately dis patched a strong detachment of troops to the spot to do what service they could for the inhabitants. By that time the appearance of the destructive element was most alarming ; it was blazing forth from the roof and every inlet that the building contained—firing on one side the Pope's Head public house belonging to Mr. Gould, and on the other Lambert's eating-house, both of which were fully expected to be burned down. Very fortu nately the firemen obtained a good supply of water , which was copiously thrown into the blazi ,g property in all ulirections, but for nearly an hour it appeared to have little or no effect ; ultimately, however, by increased ex ertions, its progress was stopped, but not until the Kentish Independent office was gutted, and the two ad jacent premises, as above mentioned, greatly damaged. LORD BROUGHAM.—The Noble and Learned Lord arrived at his mansion in Grafton-street on Sundayday ternoon, from Paris, where his Lordship has been sta.) ing since he left his chateau at Ca nnes MACKINTOSH OF MACILINTOSII—The birth of daughter and heiress to the present respected represen tative of this ancient family has diffused great satisfac tion and rejoicing in the north.—At Inverness, imme diately on the arrival of the news, it was resolved to commemorate the event that day, by a public dinner in the Caledonian Hotel. Parties came forward with the utmost alacrity, and, notwithstanding the shortness of time for preparation, an excellent dinner was provided. The chair was taken by C. Mackintosh, Esq., of Abe rarder, and Colonel Mackintosh, of Farr, acted as croupier. The infant heiress is the first lineal descendant in the line of the chiefs of Mackintosh since the year 1704, when Lachlan, the twentieth chi e f; succee d ed to hiss father. For more than a century cousins have been succeeding cousins, nephews their uncles, &c.—Cule donian Mercury. Lord Jocelyn and Mr. Cardwell received invita tions for Sir Robert Peel's official dinner yesterday. This is an intimation that the Noble Lord and Mr. Cardwell are about to enter the public service. Lord Jocelyn will be the new Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. Cardwell's office is not yet known publicly, but it will probably not be an office involving Interruptio,_ and delay of a new Writ and now election.-Evening parr.

At about one o'clock on Thursday morning, a fire broke out in the tan and flour mills of Mr. Robinsoi , , at Essone. The Sub-Prefect of Corbeil and the Mayor of Essone were immediately on the spot, and by their ju dicious directions and the activity of the firemen of Cor beil, the fire was got under, but not until damage to the extent, it is said, of 100,000 f. had been iufficted. - According to a letter from Alexandria, of the 6th, the disease in horned cattle, which was some time ago so general in Egypt, has again broken out, and caused great ravages. A letter from Vienna, of the 20th, states that the Prince and Princess of Salerno, the Prince and Princess de Joinville, and the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, are expected there in the spring, on a visit to the Emperor of Austria.

On Saturday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, the following daring robbery was committed on the pre mises of Mr. Collins, a dairyman, residing in Heath street, Hampstead, near the police station-house. It appears that Mr. C. hung outside his shop two large fine pigs for sale; that they bad not been exposed more than ten minutes before some expert thieves, unobserved by Mr. C., succeeded in carrying them ff Information Was immediately given to the police, who went in all direc tions after the thieves, but without effect. It is supposed that the pigs were thrown into a cart that was standing near the house. _ _ The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had under consideration a memorial from the Wine and Spirit Association of Liverpool, praying to be relieved from payment of duty on the natural wastage of wine, their Lordships have authorised the Commissioners of Customs to give effect to the alteration proposed by them, by granting in future the following allowance in lied of those at present in force, viz.,—for any time not exceeding one year, for every 100 gallons, one gallon ; exceeding one year, and not exceeding two years, for every 100 gallons, two gallons, and so on for any number of years the cask may remain in the warehouse, provided the total allowance do not in any instance exceed the following propor tions, viz. :—a quarter-cask, three gallons; a hogshead, five gallons; a pipe, seven gallon, and further, that no allowance be made for the fractional part of a gallon, unless it amounts to 56-100th parts, in which case one gallon may be allowed. It should be understood that this order of the Lords of the Treasury refers only to warehouses or vaults out of special security—it does not effect the practice observed at the docks in this port, but more particularly concerns the outports, where it will be a great advantage. Copies of this order have been furnished to the several departments in London, and to the collectors and comptrollers at the various outports of the United Kingdom, for the future govern ment of the revenue officers, and the information of the trade. On Saturday night much alarm was felt in the vicinity of Horsleydown and Bermondsey, owing to a very disas trous fire breaking out at the extensive warehouses of Mr. Harrison, wool-stapler, situate on the south side of Crucifix-lane, contiguous to the Greenwich Railway. The flames raged with great fury, and faint hopes were entertained for the safety of Messrs. Willshere's, the extensive tallow-chandlers, whose works, a short time ago, were totally destroyed by fire. Engines were, with all dispatch, brought to the spot, and an excellent supply of water being obtained, a great body was thrown on the flaming premises. The damage, it is feared will prove rather heavy. The Rectory of Goathurst, near Bridgewater, is vacant by the death of the Rev. H. Parsons, the late rector, who was instituted in 1786. The patton of the living is H. K. Tynte, Esq. The annual value, according to the last return, is 3781.; the population, 341. THE RIGHT OF SEARCH COMMISSION.—We under stand that the Duke de Broglie, the distinguished dip'o matist, is hourly expected at the French Embassy from Paris, all necessary preparation having been made for the Duke's reception there. The Duke de Broglie comes to this country on an important special mission frt , in the French Government. The object of the Duke's mission has reference to the " right of search," and the slave qaestion generally ; and it is now hoped that a settle ment of the long-pending differences on that important subject will shortly take place, to the mutual satisfaction of both nations.
