Ques tions of primary necessity and magnitude must be first dealt with ; but it would be a presumptuous inference to draw, that because the Ministry wisely estimate an importunate necessity, they are in different to the cause of national instruction. Much as the Government have to perform during the cur rent year with the sanction of Parliament, they have, notwithstanding, declared themselves to be prepared with schemes for promoting the sanatory condition of the people. It is obvious that, if it be almost certain that, regard being had to time, the Legislature, as between public health, on the one hand, and public education, on the other, can only enact measures with respect to one of them, the pre ference is wisely given in favour of the former. The physical energies of the population, and their social comforts, must, in the order of nature, be, in the first instance, secured and promoted, before we attempt, upon any comprehensive scale, to develop their in tellectual faculties. The careful husbandman, tend ing a sickly vine, first addresses his skill to the pro tection and nourishment of the root before he extends it to the cultivation of the branches, from the invigo rated growth of which he hopes to gather his timely fruit. • Speech of her Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND would speak comparatively without hostility of the Montpen sier marriage.

Lord Grey has shown his superior judgment, as a Colonial Minister, by appointing Mr. Henry Fox Young to be her Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern District of the Cape of Good Hope, in succes sion to Major- General Hare. This gentleman's long experience of colonial matters in British Guiana, where he served with great credit as Government Secretary in a mixed community of British and Dutch settlers, pe culiarly fit him to preside orer a mixed population, of I similar character, at the Cape. His calm, dignified, and urbane manners endeared him to the inhabitants of Guiana, and annihilated the violent party spirit which, for a long time, distracted that noble colony. The documents which we recently published respecting this gentleman, on his arrival from Demerara, speak volumes for the improved condition of that colony, and attest Mr. Young's merits in far better terms than we can express them. This appointment is a proof of Lord Grey's desire to govern our colonial possessions in a way suited to promote the welfare of mankind, in a spirit of peace, rather than by the terror of the sword, PRESENTATION OF THE COMMONS' ADDRESS.— The Address, agreed to on Wednesday night, was, we understand, presented yesterday to the Queen, at Windsor, by the Members of the Privy Council, in con formity with the resolution of the House of Wednesday night. The reply of her Majesty will, therefore, most likely, not be reported to the House until to-night. It was scarcely fair in Mr. HUME to insinuate, as he did on Wednesday, a doubt of her MAJESTY'S Mi nisters being as anxious as their predecessors to carry out the principles of free trade. Our advances in this respect must be regulated by the state of the revenue. Were we rashly to depart from this wholesome rule, we should speedily find, to our cost, " the more haste, the less speed." Besides, the recommendations for the immediate abolition of the corn-laws—for such, in deed, the proposed suspension of the existing law virtually amounts to—and the use of sugar in our breweries and distilleries, are palpable steps in fur therance of unrestricted trade and commerce. As far as we can judge of the future by what has already transpired in St. Stephen's, the national prospects will, we believe, soon recover from the eclipse by which they have of late been partially obscured. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, We perceive, with cordial delight, a paragraph in the Nottingham Mercury, communicating that the Society of Commercial Travellers have resolved upon raising a subscription for alleviating the dreadful miseries under which the inhabitants of Ireland, and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland are suffering. No one is to contribute more than five shil- lings. This a wise regulation, which, we doubt not, for obvious reasons, will realise a larger collection than if the amount had been left unlimited. Were other associated bodies in the empire to imitate this inspiriting example of humanity, many a wretched creature might be timely saved from the awful ravages of pestilence, famine, and death. Commerce is only another name for charity in its largest and best under stood sense. Those who embark in it are found to act freely upon the expanding and ennobling influences of philanthropy. Of this we have a pleasing instance in the right-minded benevolence of the Commercial Travellers' Society. (From The Sun of last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500 bales, 700 of which were on speculation. There was no change in prices. Sales, 800 Pernams, at 7'/,d. to 8 3 / 4 d. ; GOO Surat at 40. to sd. ; and the rest American at 6 3 / 4 d. to 13%d. per lb. Shares were heavy. The attempt to raise money, by way of loan, appears not to have succeeded in Austria, at least to the required extent, the participation of British capitalists being wisely limited, because of the uncertain condition of our own Money market. Still, it is stated in accounts from Vienna, that the Austrian Government has obtained funds sufficient to relieve the Share market, by making advances on railway scrip. Adverting to railways, we cannot but notice the serious decline in the present value of the Belgian lines, which must inevitably experience increased difficulty in raising the re mainder of their capital. The Belgian Government must afford every possible facility, and would be adopting a suici dal policy were it to act upon the recommendation of an Antwerp journal, and forfeit, without remorse, the caution money of any company not in a situation to comply strictly with the conditions accepted, and which in some cases are onerous enough, no doubt. The Belgian writer should re member that railways give employment, and that in reality British capital is at this moment affording that employment in his country. The men ion made of a postage convention in Germany excites a hope here of some satisfactory and improved ar rangement of the heavy charge now levied upon correspon dence, and of which the success of the penny postage here may induce a reduction. There is still an uncertain market for the English Secu rities, and the quotations have been influenced by the report that the Bank of England directors have determined upon another advance of the rate of interest. Consols have been 91% to 91% for present transfer, and 913 to 92 for time. Exchequer-bills are ss. to Bs. premium. The New Three-and Quarter per Cents. are 93% %.

The Heraldo more than hints at the probability of a change of Ministry. The Clamor Publico states that the Carlists have held an open and public meeting at Estella, to consider of the day on which they should make their intended outbreak. Other accounts say that a serious disturbance occurred at Pampeluna on the 10th. A number of conscripts and others assembled on the Tolosa road, and the Alcalde, with a civil force, attempted to disperse them. The rioters raised tho cry of the " Fueros," and drove the au thorities into the town, Disturbances, it is said, are likewise threatened at Grenada.

The only speaker of any weight who addressed the Chambers on the subject of the Montpensier marriage was the Baron C DUPIN, whose speech may be described as a series of variations on the old tune of perfide Albion. M. Gua' did not address the Chamber. The Commerce has a very remarkable article, spe culating on the probability of the retirement of M. G tazoT (which it regards as inevitable, whether France remains at peace with England or goes to war,) and on the fittest person to be his successor. Count MOLE, is at once rendered im possible under present circumstances on account of his Russian engagements and predilections. " There re mains then only M. TRIERS," says the Commerce. "He wishes for the English alliance, and blames, without dis guise the cause which broke it. He wishes it to be dig nified, and as the point upon which a general peace rests, and the conditions of which should not wound either the national interests or character. Conservatives, reflect upon this! M. TRIERS, in his position, is the only man for Conservatism and peace. Men of the Op position! remember that M. TRIERS is a ,child of the Revolution of July, and that this Revolution has always been cherished by him as a mother, and that he has never denied his origin. Men of the different constitu tional parties! reflect that time has wings, and that too repeated hesitations expose us to the re-echoing of those sad words, It is too late!' " The Pordefeuille, the Ministerial journal, in alluding to the secession of the Dufaure and Billault section of the Opposition from the Thiers and Barrot party, is forced to admit that there is also a split among the Conservatives, although it does not anticipate that the differences will lead to any changes. The same journal, in speaking of Lord PALMERSTON'S last note, says— " Lord Palmerston has addressed to Lord Normanby, un der date of the 9th inst., a dispatch, which was transmitted •on the 12th to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this dispatch, Hof eighty-four pages, of which a copy was left with M. Guizot, :Lord Palmerston appears to insist only on the arguments !relative to the engagements made in the conferencis at Eu ; :little is said on the clauses of the treaty of Utrecht, so that the Minister of her Britannic Majesty rather raises a difficulty .of etiquette, and rather discusses the question of procedes, which he persists in finding bad, than he treats an affair of !right and policy relative to the marriage of his Royal High :ress the Due de Montpensier. If Lord Palmerston had in• aisted on his first arguments, drawn from the isolation of the treaty of Utrecht, to explain the opposition of England, the King's Government might have dispensed with a reply, because a right that France considers as acquired can no t b e placed in doubt. The question of procides presenti ng it se lf almost alone, it was of importance to the dignity and honour of the King's Government to destroy all suspicion on this point. And, therefore, though the Minister of Foreign Affairs was as free as in the qttestion of Cracow, to reply or i tot to reply, to the dispatch communicated, and to close the tiscussion immediately, the Council has decided that M. ( ;ruizot shall reply to the last dispatch of the Minister of her tritannic Majesty." According to the Courrier Francais, Lord PALMER.R TON has determined the three Northern Powers to de a tare against France on the subject of the Montpensier n carriage. .Food riots still continue to rage in the provinces et Fr&nce, and the price of corn and flour is rising in all ths FOREIGN RAILWAYS.

'IAMB URGH AND DUTCH MAIL. TILE HAGUE, JAN. 17.—1 n the supplement of the Stoats Cow ant of to-day, we find the laws relative to the budget of the years 1848 and 1849, with the ac companying documents, presented to the Second Cham ber of the States General, in its sitting of the 29th of December last. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16. —The winter is certainly severely felt, a;al though much relief has b,en given by benevolent persons, the distress is very great. Among the beggars, however, who, especially when the weather is cold, increase notwithstanding the exertions of the police, are very numerous in the streets, and often molest the passengers in a shameful manner, complain ing of their distress, there are doubtless many who abuse the kind feelings of the inhabitants, and, under the appearance of deep poverty and distress, conceal indolence, and a desire to follow an immoral course of life. Thus we are assured, on good authority, that in the last calling in of the old coin, some well-known beggars presented a large quantity for exchange. Last week an aged beggar was detained, who had several pieces, a sum in florins, a silver watch, and a very large number of cards for the receipt of bread, turf, and other articles. Another well-knoNn beggarwoman was stopped with a well-filled bottle of brandy concealed under her clothes, while the man to whom she is married, and for whom she confessed that she was obliged to beg daily, is re markable for a dissolute course of life. To mention an other example, a young girl wi;o was detained with an elderly woman for begging, confessed that she received from the latter 70 cents. per week, with free board and SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY. CHESTER CUP. The appearance of the Handicap has not as yet .liven much impulse to speculation; indeed in the early part of the afternoon the conversation turned solely on the fact of the weights not having been declared in town until Tuesday. The Manchester market, at least so itis under tood, thus obtaining a day's start. The cis cumstance was commented on in rather strong terms, and it certainly is to be regretted that the declarations in town and country were simultaneous. The Handicap is admitted to be a good one, and it is supposed that there will be at least one hundred acceptances; in the face of this, three horses have already become great " pots;" i. e., Camera Ob scure, Antler, and Erin-go-bragh, the advance of the first two, we should add, having been the result of re peated offers to back them, and not of actual outlay. One bet of 1,000 to 20 agst Erin-go-bragh was followed by three or four at 1,000 to 30, 1,000 to 25 was laid agst Newcourt, 1,000 to 20 agst Punch, 2,000 to 40 agst Jinglepot, 2,000 to 40 agst Bedlam, 1,000 to 25, and 1,000 to 20 agat Pal, 1,000 to 15 two or three times agst Emigrant, and a few other bets in small amounts ; the prices at the close of a dull afternoon were as under:— Even on the field agat 30 35 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Camera Obscura 30 to 1 agat Mr. Herbert's Antler-1000 to 30 taken 33 to 1 agst Mr. W.

The Leamington Steeple Chases are postponed until Wed nesday or Thursday next. TIIE SONGS OF THE HIGFILANDS.—Mr. Wilson is about to give an entertainment'on the Songs or the Highlands, the proceeds of which are to be appropriated for the benefit of the distressed - Highlanders. The public know well the. privations under which many of them are suffering, and the calls for aid are urgent. There cannot be a more delightful way of contributing a little mere, whatever we may have already given, than by listening to the native airs of the mountaineers, as they are given by the master of Scottish song, Wilson. We are glad to hear that there will be a great gathering, many of the reserved seats having been already secured, and several influential persons have taken a deep nterest in it. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS SOCIETY.—Our readers will perceive from an advertisement in another page, that the above excellent society, in that spirit of enlightened patriot ism and genuine Christian philanthropy for which the com• mercial classes of England, and the important body of corn mercial travellers in particular, are so eminently distin guished, have resolved, at a meeting of a number of them, held at the Flying Horse Hotel, in this town, on the 18th instant, to open a subscription in aid of the funds now raising throughout the country for the mitigation of the suf ferings of the destitute populations of Ireland and the High lands and Islands of Scotland. The amount of subscription 4, we perceive, limited in extent for each member to the sum of five shillings; this is judicious, as by such means we are persuaded a larger sum will eventually be raised than if it had been an open subscription. Many commercial travellers are men with large families, and would have been prevented, by the unpleasantness of having their small subscriptions contrasted with the larger ones of their more fortunate brethren, from contributing at all, but will now give with alacrity their aid to this benevolent undertasing. We sin cerely congratulate the Society of Commercial Travellers on the excellent spirit they have displayed on this occasion, and hope the example they have thus set will be followed by many other associated bodies in the three kingdoms.—Not fingham Mercury. _ the Lord .res into the of bankruptcy nt execution.

About mid-day on Wednesday se'nnight, James Duncan, formerly tenant at Mains of Craichie, lost his life ;in the Southesk. The parti • culars, as we have learned, are as follow :—Duncan, with his wife and children, had been residing at Audelyn with his father, Mr. William Duncan, tenant there. He hatl, in the morning, crossed the Esk to visit a neighbouring farmer The river was in flood from the melting of the snow. The deceased was returning to his father's house, and, to save a circuitous road by a bridge, resolved to cross by a ford near Aisdelyn. A person present warned him against trying the ford, but he went into the water, and in a little lost his foot ing. The man present cried out, and deceased's father and mother, with his wife and other relatives, who were in sight, ran to the water side, and saw the unfortunate man carried down the stream more than 100 yards (his head above waterycrying for help, which none of them could render him. At length he was carried below a sheet of ice, and seen no more. His body was found on the following Saturday, about a mile down the river. He has left a widow and several children.—Montrose Review.

FACILITIES FOR SUNDAY TRAVELLING ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. —As the fol'owing facts speak for themselves, we give them without comment. Professor Christison was on Friday week requested by the law officers of the Crown to proceed to Stranraer, for the purpose of reporting officially to them upon a case which had occurred there. Being aware of the difficulties attending the passage from Glasgow to Edinburgh on Sundays, and having imperative professional duties, public and private to attend to in Edinburgh on that thy, Dr. Chris tison, before leaving town on Friday evening, took the precaution of requesting, that in the event of his not being able to be back in time for the latest train from the west on Saturday night, he might be allowed to return along with the bags by the mail train of Sunday morning. Having learned, however, on his way to Glasgow, that there existed st to this course a technical difficulty connected with the Po office contract, he inquired whether a special train might be had on that day. The secretary feeling uncertainw he ther it would be obtainable, Dr. Christison, by grea t exertion and good luck, succeeded in getting bac lcGlasgow to Glastrain, and just in time for the Saturday night then (when it might have been too late) learned that his application for a special train had been refused by the directors in Glasgow. To the above a Glas gow contemporary adds (we believe incorrectly) that Dr. Christison reported the refusal to the Lord Advocate. It is also stated (with what accuracy we have not learned) that his Lordship immediately consulted with the Solicitor. Genera', and that the latter directed a communication to be i radde to the directors.—Scotsma n. On Tuesday evening most melancholy accident happened at Whittlesfordsta l tion on the Eastern Counties Railway, accompanied with the loss of life. It appears that the five o'clock train from London had just left the station, when a young woman attempted to cross the line. A porter endeavoured in vain to stop her, and the express dorn train passing_ at the moment , ran over and killed her on the spot. No blame could be attributed to any of the servants of the company, who endeavoured, as much as possible, to prevent the fatal occurrence. JOSEPH A TAr.—This notorious personage, who has obtained from her Majesty's lieges so manysovereigns, under a promise of relating something to their advantage, was summoned to the 'lower Hamlets Court of a i n Osborn-street, Whitechape l l, c o a n m Tu rid e- 3, by h r eath-road, Bethn a l- Wright, a coal merchant it b of " Friend Joseph," who was green, and the decision of the Court g will no dorbt put some a man named Abbott, who an excellent representative for the lay brother would make . re presentedcileck n the on theocc proceedi ngs ason b y in the opera of The Duenna. Ady had written to Mr. Wright that he could "inform him of something to his advantage, on receipt of 205., value 1,0001. and upwards." The money was transmitted, and Ady furnished Mr. Wright with a quantity of his lithographed circulars and lists relating to next of kin, joint- stock banks, and clerks in holy orders, holding sharas in them, but this information was not worth a farthing. Mr. Wright demanded value for his money. Ady demurred, and a summons was forthwith issued. Ady's re present ative, Abbott, cont ended that consideration was given, and the work contracted for was done. He also placed a high value on Joseph Ady's services to the community, to the no small amusement of the Court. The commissioners dissented from all the propositions made by Ady's man of business, and decided that the information given to Mr. Wright was worth nothing, that no consideration had been given, and that Ady must refund 205., and pay all the costs within twenty-four hours, or execution would issue against his goods and chattels. Yesterday Ady attended the Court and paid 1/. 75., the amount of the debt and costs. His cir culars are travelling all over the kingdom, and we believe his dupes are as numerous as eve~. Bisuor s STORTFORD.--011 Sunday morning last the men working in the gas-house beard a ttemendous crash in the direction of the three newly.erected maltings of Messrs. Taylor and Son, each of which is capable of steeping 100 quarters of barley. It was soon after discovered to have been occasioned by the whole floor of one of the barley cham bers giving way, with the immense quantity of grain (upwards of 1,000 quarters) above it. A number of Messrs. Taylor's men endeavoured to secure as much as possible of what had been forced out into the yard. While this was going on, attention was directed to the barley chamber of the malting adjoining, which was found to be giving way under about the same quantity of grain, but by a prompt application of some strong timber it was prevented from bulging 0ut....-LIC7iS County Press. lodging, for her assistance in begging. THE HAGUE, JAN. 19.—We are enabled to comma nicate the following tables of the amount of the revenue in the twelve months of 1846, compared with that of the twelve months of 1845 :- 1846—Total 54,576,5881'. 31ic. 1845—Total 54,446,067f. 391 c. On the whole, there was an increase of 800,133 f. in 1846 on some tax• s, and a decrease of 669,612 f. on some other taxes, compared with the receipts of 1845. A private letter from Paramaribo, of the 20th of November, says— " This year has been very unfavourable to the colony. The long centintied drought which we had at the com mencement did great injury, especially the failure of the usual article of food. The prospects for the following year are most favourable, and the present state of the season does not leave us anything to wish for. Our governor is at present engaged in encouraging the cul ture 'of cochineal, bu!t he is far from meeting wiah general co-operation. By his exertions and persever ance he has introduced a general change in the mode of life and the sentiments of the poor population." THE HAGUE, JAN. 19. Our readers doubtless re collect the accusations of which the Austrian Govern ment was the subject by the French journals, on account of an attack made by the troops :on a procession during the last disturbances in Galicia. The procession con sisted, it is said, of pacific and innocent pilgrims, who were attacked and massacred without mercy. Well, it results from the authentic report made on the examination of John Tyssouski, who was for ten days dictator of Cracow, that this procession was only a pro test of the leaders of the conspiracy. The masses who composed it were themselves deceived they were led blindly to their ruin, for the purpose of being formed into a column of attack, and if the plan failed, it was I proposed to have a pretext at hand to invoke revenge on the sacriligious cruelty of Austria. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16.—We are assured that the difficulties which have arisen respecting the final conces sion of the North Holland Reilway will be speedily re moved. It is well known that they have been occasioned by the demand of the war department of 800,000 florins for the erection of new fortifications, while the company, by a contract with the governor of North Holland, has only engaged to furnish the expense of changes in the existing works. It is said that the affairs will be settled by means of an indemnity for the enclosing of land in the neighbourhood. We trust that the difficulties will be speedily removed. THE HAGUE, JAN. 15.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Albert of Prussia intends to pass the winter at Rome. on account of the unfavourable report from Naples, of the severe coil in the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prusst returned on the 10th of this month to Berlin, from his journey in Turkey aid Esypt. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16.—The law just proposed by the French Government respecting the importation of corn is of very great importance to our trade. It enacts that from the Ist of August, 1847, all kinds of cern and flour imported by land or by se: shall be subject to the lowest duty imposed by the law of the 15th April, 1832, viz., 12 cents for wheat, and 6i- for rye ; that this lowest import duty shall be paid, whether the imperta , tion be under the French or any other flag ; that all ships, of whatever nation, laden with corn shall be exempt from all duty on tonnage. The French Govern. ment shows by this regulation that there is an insuffi cient supply of foreign corn, and that the French commercial navy is not able to supply the deficiency. It offers an ample field for speculation in the foreign_ corn trade. We are convinced that our merchants and ship owners will take advantage of this favourable moment. HAMRURGH, JAN. 16.—The ice betwsen Blakenese and SAulan has been driven closer together by the flow of the tide, so that the stream is now stationary, and may be crossed on foot, though not altogether with out danger. Further up, at Nienstadden, the ice is still floating, and at Brunhansen there is a great deal of ' floating ice. Here the river which separates Altona from Kohlbrand, and which was sufficiently frozen to be passable, has been broken up by the comparatively mild temperature and the great violence of the stream at this point. The harbour is full of thick ice, and the heaviest burdens are conveyed on sledges. The Baum, also, is frozen over, and is crossed by foot passengers. Wind L.N.F. Currie:STEN, JAN. 15.—The Consul, M. C. Jager, writes " The steamer Wilberforce, Captain Phillips, tried to put to sea this morning, but was obliged to put back in consequence of the immense quantity of ice, a,.d lay in the harbour. The Bremen ship Mariane, Captain Weiting, has suffered much damage from the ice, and ' means are now in process to carry her cargo over the ice. Wind E. (From the Galician Frontiers, Jan. 8.) We learn from Cracow that the Imperial Councillor, Von Ottenthal, who is charged with the superintendence and arrangement of the boundary tolls of the incorpa ted republic of Cracow, has since his arrival had several conferences, with the most influential members of that city. We learn from thence to-day that the new district cuetoas-house, will be opened in a few days, and that the commercial and boundary toll administration will positively commence its operations very shortly in Cracow, as well as in the whole of Galicia ; perfect tranquillity prevails, although the two adverse parties, namely, the peasantry and the nobles, are still in a state of excitement. We learn from undoubted authority that the erection of extensive barracks will be commenced in Cracow in the spring, and that the Gover nor, Count Castiglione has already approved of the. plan. There is nothing new from Lemburg. The negotiations are being actively carried on for uniting the newly-acquired territory of Cracow with the capital of the monarchy by means of railroad, as we have before stated. The plan of operation is to unite the northern railroad at Oderburg with the Lower Silesian road, and then to bring the latter across Kosel as for as Mistowlez, to the Cracow frontier. Should this be adopted, the directors of the northern line have re solved to abandon the continuation of that line on the Galician territory, and will have a terminus in Bochina, which will be reached by a branch railway from Pod goze, about twenty miles distance. The plan is not at all liked in Galicia, and it is very doubtful whether the Austrian Government will get so important a line of c°mmerce direct to Cracow, since it would in part go through the Prussian territory, independently of political motives, such as sending troops to Cracow or Lemhurg, &e., which would rather seem to incline in favour of the line from Bochina to Cracow. CRACOW, JAN. 6.—Permission has been given that foreign newspapers may be transmitted through the Prussian post by private individuals, as hitherto, but the public expense of them is prohibited from the com mencement of this year. WARSAW, JAN. 10.—By an Imperial edict, the kine dom of Poland is declared the 13th circle of the land and water communication of the empire.

Consternation and mourning prevails in War saw in consequence of this intelligence.

DEATH OF HIS IMPERIAL HIGH• NESS T,TI.E ARCHDUKE JOSEPH OF AUSTRIA, W e regre t to learn that intelligence has been received of the death of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Joseph Antonie Jean •of Austria, Palatine of Hungary. The melan choly event toe +lc place on the 7th instant, at the imperial palace at Ofen, in Hungary, after a severe and protracted illness of severe 1 months. The Archdukes Francis and Joseph were with their illustrious parent at his dissolution, having been sumnavned from Vienna. Ms late Imperial Highness was fourth son of the late 'Emperor Leopold 11., by Maria Louisa, daughter of Charles ILof Spain. He was born 9th March, 1776, and has been married three times—namely, first to her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandrine Paulowna, daughter of the Emperor Paul of Russia, who died on the 16th March, 1801, without issue; secondly, to Princess Her • minie, daughter of the late Victor Charles Frederick, Prince d'Anhalt Bernbourg Schaumbourg, w h o di e d the 14th of Sept embor, 1817, after giving (that day) birth to a son and daughter (twins) ; and lastly he married, 24th August, 18/.9, her Royal Highness the Princess Marie, daughter of Louis Duke 4)f Wurtemberg, by whom he is survived.

A FULL REPORT of LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S SPEECH, on his bringing under the consideration of the House the STATE of IRELAND, will be given on MONDAY, JANUARY 25, in a THIRD EDITION of " THE SUN." EXPRESS EDITIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON ALL IMPORTANT OCCASIONS, BRINGING DOWN THE DEBATES TO THE LATEST MOMENT. Orders received by all Newspaper Agents, and at THE THIRD EDITION Sun-office, 113, Strand. 111=in/a Ant LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1847. A new writ has been ordered by the House of Commons for the election of a representative for the county of Middlesex, in the room of Mr. BYNG, re cently deceased. By this circumstance the important and influential office of Member for the metropolitan shire is again placed at the disposal of its enfranchised population. We cannot doubt for a single moment the discretion of the Middlesex electors in awarding the majority of their votes to the most en lightened and competent among the candidates who may present themselves upon the hustings. The cordiality which existed during so many years be tween the late revered and excellent Father of the House of Commons and his eminent constituency is a significant and sufficient proof that the latter are animated with a due reverence for our venerable Con stitution, and, at the same time, with an earnest affection for the predominant spirit of the age—the spirit of comprehensive and sagacious reform. In the protracted and honourable career of GEORGE BYNG the character of the electors of the metropolitan county is admirably testified—for the name of that deceased Reformer is intimately associated with the history of the British Parliament during its most memorable and most worthy exercise of the legislative power. Upon all our greatest political benefactions, dating back some half century, the name of Mr. BYNG was invariably recorded in the most creditable position. In every question in volving the happiness of the people Mr. BYNG voted on the side of liberality, and as he did so simply in the capacity of representative for Middlesex, it is manifest that Middlesex continued throughout the extended career of its Member warmly and devotedly , attached to the noblest principles of moral enlighten ment and social advancement. Remembering the course undeviatingly pursued by the late Father of the House of Commons, and recognising in his con duct the declaration of the sentiments entertained by the enfranchised inhabitants of Middlesex, we cannot doubt that that constituency will return to Parlia ment some man qualified to succeed Mr. BYNG, both in the capacity of his intelligence, the independence of his disposition, the generosity of his principles, and the incorruptible solidity of his character. Such a candidate has already appeared in the person of Lord R. GROSVENOR—a man every way qualified to be the successor of Mr. BYNO as the representative of Middlesex. In Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR the electors have at their acceptance a staunch and inflexible supporter of all those liberal principles which they have themselves so cordially maintained. The candidate who by the course of circumstances has been induced to solicit their suffrages_is no mere fledgling politician ; his assur ances are not such as must be swallowed on trust ; he is not one of those who are compelled, on appear ing before a constituency, to become their own pane gyrists by sketching out a flattering perspective of their intentions. The past life of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR is a guarantee of his future conduct, and it is such a guarantee as constitutes an assurance to the Middlesex electors that Lord ROBERT GROS• VENOR is a suitable candidate. In the letter of greet ing written by the Noble Lord to this constituency, and in the farewell letter also addressed by himself to his constituency of Chester, we perceive familiar indications of the fulness and enthusiasm with which he is disposed to uphold the cause of liberality and reform. On every account Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR is about the fittest man that could be found to send to the Commons' House of Parliament as Member for the metropolitan shire. Of course, at an election occurring at the moment when the present Parliament is so rapidly approach ing the limit of its legal existence, the selection of any individual candidate would be merely prelimi nary to the ultimate choice of a general election. Still it would be injudicious, and more than that, it would be a positive dereliction of duty to abate one jot of earnestness on the score of' the dwindling life of the Parliament now sitting. Those who possess the prerogatives and responsibilities of the franchise should on no account regard the exer cise of those prerogatives and the satisfaction of those responsibilities with indifference. The votes of elec tors are not units, but multiply; they go for the voices not merely of the enfranchised, but of the urp enfranchised likewise. Consequently it is a perpetual duty, on the part of every elector, to aid the development of those political opinions the predominance of which he believes to be essential to the prosperity of the country—and to aid their de velopment at all times and under all circumstances. It is requisite, therefore, that the constituency of the county of Middlesex should afford Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR a reception as cordial and unanimous as though this were the commencement, instead of the termination, of the present Parliament.

THE WILL; or, THE HALF-BROTHERS., A Romance. 3 Vols. This novel is founded upon a most romantic incident in Italian history —the conspiracy of Count Fiesco ; a conspiracy remarkable for the extraordinary-secrecy with which it was planned, and for the untow ard dent by which its designs were frustrated, even in 7 t,l very moment of victory. For some years prior to 15,11 the famous Andrew Doria possessed almost soverelg power in the Genoese Republic ; the pride and hauteur ° . of his grand nephew, Giannetino, gav e great offence t the nobles of Genoa, above all ' to Fiesco, Count or Lavagna, and instigated him to enter into a conspillq for the purpose of overthrowing the p o wer of the DorAlls_4!, and obtaining the chief authority for himself. The idea was one that might have been entertained by 114, bilious man, but it was in the manner of carrying 'le that the peculiar skill and ability of Fiesco w ere manifest. Notwithstanding the time required to brinng the project to maturity, and the great number of p erso necessarily enlisted in his service, the utmost, seerfet was preserved, and, the better to obviate all sus p icio ! Fiesco, in unbounded hospitality and dissipat ion, aPP ;.; rently devoted his whole time and thoughts to the Pei: suit of pleasure. This line of conduct was, in two wail favourable to his plans ; it increased the security ell confidence of the Dorias, while the lavish e,: penditure and magnificence which it occasioneed added to the popular manners of the Count, won for him the general good-will. At length tbe cisive moment arrived; in the dead of night errand of conspirators attacked the city—themselves all T. pared and acting in concert, the enemy taken by stt, prise, all things favoured them ; Giannetino Dorta killed, all the strongholds were in the hands of Fie s c d ° 4 party, and he himself now secure of victory P r°c „ As s e to capture the galleys in the harbour : passing se, '„ o f 1- plank, he slipped, fell in the water, and the welg"",,e, his armour causing him to sink, perished in the sP-1, hour of triumph. Deprived of their leader, the con raters were soon defeated and destroyed, and the s o nificent project, so long and so skilfully prePa re vigorously and so victorious) effected, melted on `•even as the baseless fabric of a vision." I t e is lbe ibis most interesting event that the romance .Of 0 , Will, or the Half-brothers" is founded, and it is o bie 7 0 ; inasmuch as they relate to that event, that .the re veltl 4B.. are attractive and worthy of perusal. They • rently written by an unpractised hand—at least oeebisohis practised in careful composition, for although th e . vi ted is told in an interesting and sometimes very an , g Wag manner, the sentences are very frequently ill-cenr - wiag and occasionally not very easy to understand' "ore sometimes to defective punctuation (perlutP s 2 so me' the fault of the printer than of the author) so d to the considerable distance which tot 00 5; between the subject and the verb—rendering " r o jee, necessary here and there to read a sentence ov er ' t hese in order clearly to comprehend it. We mention too defects in all kindness to the author, because theLsill defects which in his subsequent efforts he may 50 avoid, and which, if not avoided, must be greatly "ease mental to all his endeavours. Count Fiesco is of °tile not the only hero of the novel ; there is a fictitious og interwoven with the historical romance which is co a, enough in its way, but in this, as in many oth er shoe truth is not only stranger, but far more interesting' ft ba fiction, and the last volume, containing the account ° or conspiracy, is by much the best of the three. Thl. itleotlf vellous incidents of the eventful evening are ex well described, but perhaps the happiest and nteLeti;oril tive Palacesdecription is that of a scene occurring in The ts' on the very day before the outbreak. " 1 "` bassador of Milan having received some intelligeo cerning the conspiracy, laid it before the Dori b' t he both Andrew and his grand-nephew, deceived h,f t s he conduct of the count, were very reluctant to cr ecl i e sce information.
