We, however, can contradict this news on very probable grounds. Prince Paskewitsch has been summoned to St. Petersburg, to give his opinion in person on many important points. The winter here is extremely mild, which contributes in some degree to alleviate the general distress. The re organization of the country advances rapidly, and external order will soon be every where restored. We may also reasonably expect a diminution of the taxes ; for the great military establishment before and during the revolution was a heavy burthen on the country, and this state of things no longer exists. The numerous Russian troops stationed in Poland are maintained, without exception, out of the Russian treasury, and this increases the circulation of money. But whether we shall again have a represen tative form of Government seems very problematical. (From the Stutgard. Gazette.) BERLIN, FEB, 9.—lt is just reported that in conse quence of a Cabinet order, a great reduction in the Prus sian army is going to take place, a measure which must confirm the hope, of the maintenance of peace so much desired by the Prussian Cabinet. The expiration of the time far the ratification of the treaty of London having passed over, and the English and French Cabinets having exchanged their's with Belgium after the declarations made by the Ambassadors of the other three Powers, has not caused any breach between the Allied * Courts. The exchange of the ratification by the Ambassadors of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, is merely deferred, and nothing more. The conference, and this is an important circumstance, continues its deliberations as before. The Cabinets unite their efforts, as they have hitherto done, to bring about a satisfactory and equitable solution of the in tricate question, and follow the same principles that have hitherto guided them. The instructions of Count Orloff, who has arrived here, direct him to support in the strongest manner the repregantation which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has already repeatedly made to King William, that an end may at length be put to a painful and critical state of things like that in which Holland is now placed ; and which, if long protracted, might endanger the amicable relations that at present subsist between the Five Powers. FRANKFORT, FEB. 17.---Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Leuchtenberg arrived at Munich on the 12th, on her return from Paris to visit her daughter the Ex- Empress of Brazil. Prince Esterhazy arrived on the 13th at Strasburgh, on his way to Vienna. The last column of the Poles, going through Saxony on their way to France, passed through Leipsic on the 12th. The whole number from the commencement has been 1,901. VIENNA, Fax. 10.—We have still two cholera patients in the suburbs, one of them a new case that has occurred to-clay. The Earl of KERRY and WYCONIBE, eldest so n of the Marquis of LarisnowNx, will come of age next month. It was confidently asserted, when Mr. T. B. N IACAOLEY was returned for Caine, that the Hon. Gen tleman would resign his seat for that borough on Lord KERBS attaining his majority, in order to ensure his Lord ship a seat in the House of Commons. THE SENTENCE ON CAPTAIN WARRING- ToN.---The sentence on Captain WARRINGTON is, that he be cashiered, but strongly recommended to mercy. The KING, on Wednesday, co n fi rme d th e sentence, b ut gra ciously listened to the recommendation, by permitting him to sell out. The Society for the Improvement of Prison Discipline has just published its Eighth Annual Report, and it is a document abounding with facts of very great interest to the community. The Society is now generally known as having for some years laboured for the removal of those miseries arising from filthiness, idleness, and want of discipline, which have long been the characteristic of the gaols of this country ; and its efforts to promote a better system of classifi cation and inspection, for the advancement of moral and religious instruction, and especially for the reformation of juvenile offenders, are worthy of very sincere acknowledgement by all who have at heart the real welfare of their country. The Report of this Society tends to the infe rence that the British system of jurisprudence contributes considerably to the encouragement of crime. The irrational severity of our criminal law, and its want of conformity with public opi nion, are constantly defeating the end and ob ject of punishment ; the state of most of the prisons attached to corporate jurisdictions, and among them of Newgate, is highly disgraceful, to say nothing of the disorders prevalent in debtors' prisons ; the gaols throughout the whole of Scotland remain unimproved ; the want of a more ready acceptance of bail, of a more fre quent delivery of gaols, and of an amendment in the law of imprisonment for debt, exposes num bers to the contamination of a prison who would otherwise be saved from its pollutions ; the pau per. and criminal insane are most improperly 2,0001., allowed for his annual expenses, but the question was carried in favour of Ministers on a division of 190 to 169. German Papers received to-day only confirm news previously received. The Northern Powers now begin to see the policy of preserving peace, and are perhaps only deferring the ratification of the Belgian treaty till the passing of the Eng lish Reform Bill. The negotiations of the marriage for King LEOPOLD with one of the KING'S daughters are very far advanced. Madame ADELAIDE, it is said, is charged with all the arrangements. It is said it will take place immediately after the ratification of the 24 articles by the great Powers.—French Paper. ((Signed) Grand Total 115133 i 1521 WM. MACLEAN. Secretary. - - PRINCESS OF ORANGE'S JEWELS..—CAR RARA, the person imprisoned in New York on the charge of this robbery, lately attempted his escape, but having been observed by the watchman descending from the win dow, the bars of which he had removed, was re-captured and placed in greater security. It is not generally known that the Fortune of War public-house (so often mentioned in the trial of Disiter and WILLIAMS) is the celebrated Pie-corner, at which the great fire of London ended. The house is situated in Giltspur-street, between St. Sepulchre's church and Smithfield-market, and has a small statue on its front. We regret to state that OWEN WILLIAMS, Esq. M.P. for Marlow, expired yesterday morning, the 23d inst., at his house in Berkeley-square. Such has been the careless way in which the lists of persons to serve the office of Sheriff have been made up, that in more than one county persons have been pricked and Gazetted who are actually disqualified from serving the office. The ladies of the petticoat Cabinet, like the old women in another place, have expressed their deter mination to oppose the Reform Bill in all its stages when it gets into the House of Lords. ITALIAN OPERA IN AMERICA.—M. DA PONTE, author of Don Giovanni, the Marriage of Figaro, and other Italian operas, who for many years has been a resident in New York, has invited from Italy to that city an operatic company, which was daily expected to arrive at the date of our last accounts. WAR ELOQUENCE.—On the evening of the 19th of January, 1812, when the British troops were about to storm Ciudad Rodrigo, General PicTox rode up to the regiments appointed to the assault, and, in his pe culiarly impressive manaer and tone, cheered each of them in succession to their duty. His address to the 88th, or Connaught Rangers, was strickingly characteristic both of the leader, and the metal of which that distinguished corps was composed—" Rangers of Connaught," said he, " it is not my intention to expend powder to-night.

Shavings or planings of wood have been wasted, or at beet burned or curled for fire-grate ornaments, ever since the invention of carpenters. Now, however, it is discovered that the best papers for wrappers, writing, and printing, may be produced from wood shavings boiled in mineral or vege table alkali. One hundred pounds of wood and twelve pounds of Alkali will produce a TOM of raper.

TODD V. THE WATERMAN'S COMPANY. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, Mr. CAIsITBELL, and Mr. MUG GINS appeared for the plaintiff. The ATTORNEY-GE NERAL and Mr. FOLLETT for the defendants. The case occupied the whole of the morning, bet the question at issue may be thus briefly stated : The plaintiff claimed to be admitted a freeman of the Waterman's Company, by a servitude for seven years, under an indenture of apprenticeship to a master lighterman named Coleman. The Company re fused to admit him, on the ground that he had not served his apprenticeship, upon which he obtained a rule in this Court fer a mandamus to compel them to admit him, and upon the return to that rule, which denied that hr was a freeman, the present issue was directed, in order to ascertain whether the plaintiff had or had not duly served his term of apprenticeship. A vast number of witnesses were called to prove that the plaintiff was duly apprenticed to Coleman, who was i❑ the employ of his the plaintiff's father, and that he had served the whole period, navigating craft in the Thames. The defence was that there had not been a servitude, and that the plaintiff's apprenticeship to his father's ser vant was only to give a colour to an apparent servitude, in order to his obtaining his freedom. The case was not concluded when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) SANDERSON V. IBBERSON AND PENNY. Mr. RICHARDS stated that the plaintiff in this action was the keeper of the Boar and Castle, Oxford -street, and a livery stable-keeper. The defendants were clerks in the coach office at Lad-lane. The action was brought to re cover the value of a horse which the defendants had hired to go to nirlop fair, and had so overdriven, that from the time they returned him he had never been able to do any work, and had died within three weeks after. The Learned Gentleman called evidence in corroboration of his statement, after which the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 141. I Si. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day, a grand inspection of the household troops took place on the parade in St. James's Park. Detachments from the flank companies of the Foot Guards were trooped round the parade, and went through their various evolutions in a manner which appeared to give great satisfaction. The inspection took place before General Lord Hill, Com mander-in-Chief, Major-General Macdonald, the Adjutant- General of the Forces, General Dalbiac, and others of Lord Hill's Staff. A detachment of the Royal Hone Guards, blue, were also trooped. The Regiment of the 9th Lancers appeared this morn ing in their new uniform, which now consists of a scarlet jacket, instead of blue, as hitherto worn by theca. The men had a very fine and heathy appearance. COURT CIRCULAR. At his Majesty's Levee, on Wednesday, Mr. JOHN HAS. RISON YALLor, Mayor of Norwich, accompanied by Al derman BOLINGBROKE, presented a loyal address from that city to the KING, in favour of Reform, and expressing ap probation of the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers. Messrs. YALLor and BOLINGBROKE were presented to the KING by the Secretary of State for the Home De partment. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented an address from the Magistrates, Clergy, Gentlemen, Merchants, and Trades men of Gloucester and its vicinity, against the principle of the Reform Bill, and against any measure of Reform which does not meet the approval of the classes which comprise the respectability, property, and knowledge of the country. The Duke of BEAUFORT presented an address from a large body of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of the county of Gloucester, against the measure of Reform. Colonel Coax LANGTON, M.P., presented addresses from Semersetshire. Mr. T. FITZGERALD, Deputy Lieutenant of Waterford, was presented to the KING by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. Mr. THOMAS SAMUEL Srar was presented to his MAJESTY, on being appointed Lieutenant of the Honour able Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. The Duchess of GIAOUCXSTER passed Wednesday com fortably, but her Royal Highness had not a good night. Her Royal Highness receives visits only from members of the Royal Family. His MAJEsz: paid a visit to tho Royal Duchess yesterday. The Duchess of KENT aad the Princess VICTORIA, the Duke and Duchess of CuassEELAND, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Duke of SUSSEX also visited their Royal relative yesterday. Sir MENAI- HALYORD continues to attend the Royal Duchess. Gloucester House was thronged with the nobility and gentry yesterday. Earl Gin - , the Hanoverian Minister, and the Quarter- Master-General to the Forces, had audiences of the Kozo yesterday. The Judge-Advocate General had also an audience, and reported the proceedings of some Courts martial to his MAJESTY. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND came to town yesterday from their residence at Kew. Their Royal High nesses and a select party dined with the KING and QUEEN last evening, at the Palace of St. James's. Mr. BURGE, the Agent for Jamaica, Mr. MAYERS, the Agent for Barbadoes, Lord SEAFORD, and the Master- General of the Ordnance, had interviews with Viscount GODERICH yesterday, at the Colonial-office.

MEMOIRS OF GREAT COMMANDERS. This work bide fair to rival in popularity the most suc cessful of the productions of the author of " Darnley," who has here chronicled the lives and exploits of HENRY V. of England, the victor of Agincourt; of JOHN PLAN.. TAGENET, Duke of Bedford ; of GONZALVES DE CORDOVA, the Great Captain ; of the Duke of ALVA, the oppressor ; of OLIVER CROMWELL ; of the Duke of ALBEMARLE ; of Marshal TURENNE ; of the Great CONDE ; of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH; of Prince EUGENE; of the Earl of PETERBOROUGH; of the Marquis of GRANBY ; and of General WOLFS. A brighter array of illustrious names could hardly be imagined. ANTI-PROFANE SOCIETY.--A society has been formed by the students of Charlotte Hall Academy, Maryland, for the purpose of repressing swearing. The members pledge their honour to abstain from profane language themselves, and to endeavour to correct it in others. The wife of an Englishman in Paris, of some celebrity at home, eloped from him about a month since with his bosom friend, a Lieutenant of a regiment of ca valry in the East India Company's service. The criminal intimacy seems to have been ripened at Harfleur, where the husband and wife had been residing for some months previously. The injured party is better known for the pea-greenness of his inexperience, and his association with certain large penalties for inconstancy, than hie dexterity in eatrietting himself from the entanglements of selleetry. THE QUEEN'S BIRTH-DAY. -4 This being the day appointed for the celebration of the natal day of her MAJESTY, who, on the 13th of August next, will have arrived at the age of 40 years, the bells of the various parish churches were rang merrily, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower 'guns fired a double Royal -alute in honour of the happy occasion. All the Club Houses at the west end of the town are making extensive preparations for illuminating to-night in a style of splendour hitherto unequalled. The Theatres are also to be lighted up. All the houses of the Royal tradespeople are already pre pared, and the exhibitions are truly grand. At the orna mental glass-warehouse of Messrs. HANCOCK and RixoN. in Cockspur-street, there is displayed a gigantic Star of Brunswick, and the initials of the QUEEN on either side, standing nearly twelve feet high, which will have a very grand effect. CIIAMEEELA.YNE'S Royal Worcester Porce lain-warehouse in Bond-street, also deserves much praise ; and though last not least, STEWARD, the purveyor of milk and cream to the Royal Fa mily, displayed his loyalty and respect for his Royal Mistress by hoisting her initials, a Crown, Star and Evergreens, which had a ♦ery pretty effect. To enu merate the whole of the displays would occupy more space than we can afford. Suffice to say the illuminations at the west-end will be very general to-night. Viscount CLIFDEN and Earl STANHOPE were fined twenty shillings each by the Queen-square Ma gistrates yesterday, for not having their Christian names painted on their carts. A Mr. BEALE, of Marshall-street, Golden-square, was fined in the like sum for not having both his Christian names painted on his cart ; and a Mr. DAVIES, of Brunswick-street, was fined in the like sum, for having his name painted black upon green, instead of the lawful black and white. We have lately heard of a specimen of the "March of Intellect," equal to any thing that has reached us before, and which leads to the belief that the general distress of the country has not yet extended to one class at least of the community. A gentleman in this town, wanting a footman, was applied to by a man who, afttc agreeing as to wages, and all other minor points, begged to make one further enquiry—" What was the colour of the Livery 9"—" Brown, with red breeches," he was told, " Then, sir," said he " I cannot take the place ; I would rather take three pounds a year less than wear red breeches!" And he actually called a second time, although unbidden, to say that, " on consideration he could not snake up his mind to the breeches! !" Thus it appears there are degrees of dignity in a livery,-4 distinction of which we confess surselves to have been previously igno rant..... The above circumstance occurred in Brunswick square.—Brighton Gazette. M. THOURET was, as we announced yester day, again brought before the Court of Assizes, upon two accusations of libel and sedition, contained in two articles inserted in the Revolution on the 18th and 27th of No vember last, but both indictments failed, and he was ac quitted. These make the 36th and 37th prosecutions to which this Journal has been subjected since its institution. —Galignanis Messenger. Yesterday ten print-sellers were brought before a Jury, for exposing to sale various lithographic and other portraits of the Duke of REICHSTADT, thereby encouraging a spirit of rebellion, and tending to disturb the public peace; more particularly by the emblems engraved beneath them ; amongst which the ADVOCATE-GENERAL pointed out an eagle, holding in one of his claws a sword, with the other grasping a globe, on which was inscribed " France," at the same time turning the head towards the Prince, and presenting to him a laurelled crown. The prisoners protested that they were free from all evil inten tions, and conceived that, since the revolution of July, they were at liberty to sell the portrait of the young Duke. The Jury were of the same opinion, and delivered a ver dict of acquittal, and the Court ordered the prints to be delivered up to their respective owners.— Galignani's Messenger. A vain and pert prater was boasting at his club last week of the great impression which he made in a certain Assembly whenever he spoke, end supposing that one of the persons present nodded assent, the orator quickly said, " but did you hesr my last speech r " No," said the other drily, 44 lavish I had." The small-pox has been raging in Horsham to an alarming extent. A huckster named Jtrrr first failed in the East-street, about a month ago, and fell a victim to the disease. His body was kept disinterred so long, that his relatives were compelled at last to have it drawn to the Church-yard. Nine days after his funeral no less than thirty persons in the neighbourhood were attacked during one night, five or six of whom died. The consequence was that the disease spread rapidly, and trade has been materially injured, the country people in the vicinity of the town fearing to make their usual weekly purchases there. Several families have been since inoculated. The small pox has also been very destructive at Arundel and Bognor. —Brighton Gazette. THE AMERICAN TARIFF.—The grand de- bate on this question in the House of Representatives was not expected to be brought on before April. The questirs •' the renewal of the charter of the United States Bank Aar to be previously disposed of. On Monday se'nnight a duel took plane in the immediate neighbourhood of Bordeaux, between M. FERRIER, a Peruvian, residing in that city with his family, and a M. Arum., in which the former was killed. Some doubts having been expressed as to the regularity of the proceedings at the rencontre, the two seconds have pub lished a joint statement to the following effect :—The two principals having declared their mutual determination to fight till one of them fell, the seconds arranged that they should advance to within six paces of each other, whether either of them fired previously or not. This distance was measured and marked out by handkerchiefs. At a signal given, the combatants marched forward, and, when within ten paces of each other, M. FZARIER fired, and missed 1 his adversary, and wished there to receive his shot in re turn, but, according to the previous agreement, he was made to advance to the line laid down. M. AERET theft drew his trigger, the capsule (the pistols having deto nating locks) did not explode, and the seconds changed it for another, when M. ABRIT fired, and M. FERRIES fell. In opposition to an opinion that had been given by some persons, that M. ABRET had no right to a second fire, the seconds maintain that nothing can be deemed a fire unless the ball be expelled from the barrel, and that in this case, even that which may be called the priming was not burnt. M. FERRIER. has left five children to lament his loss. M. Maser has made his escape, but both the seconds are in custody.— Galignani's Messenger Thursday night, about eight o'clock, a shock ing casualty occurred near Cunnigar, in the South Li berties, arising kora the toe general and fatal practice of country people laying dry flax up in the thatched roof of their cottages, and frequently within reach of the hand. The police party from Cunnigar were on patrol, when they heard the crackling of flames, and distinctly saw a blaze spring from -a little hamlet at 100 yards' distance. They hurried to the scene of conflagration, and forced the door open, bet the cloud of smoke and flame which burst forth drove them back. In a second attempt, they fortunately succeeded in rescuing from the fiery element DARBY LEARY, the proprietot, and 'his eldest son and daughter, who were nearly insensible. The flames now 'mired the whole tenement, and, dreadful to *ay, LEALY'S wife and her infant children (twins) perished in the conflagration, spite of every exertion from the panes and country people. In about fifteen minutes after the eat three lives were saved, the police were enabled, amidst An burning ruins , to reach the bed of the mother, where they found her a corpse, lying on her face and hands, and the infants (dead) under her, as if in a last fond but hopeless Art to pre serve them from destruction. This calamity Was caused by lighting a candle, which communicated with the flax, and before the terrified inmates could procute" get outlet, so combustible were the materials, that the whole cottage was in a blase.—Limerick Chronicle. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE...-011 Wed nesday evening an inquest was held at the Adam and Eve, Liverpool-road, Islington, on the body of SARAH Rowxx, a fine-looking woman, aged 25. The deceased had co habited with a man named BUTLER, by whom she had a child. He lately left her in a state of destitution, at a house in the Edgware-road, having taken away all her ap parel. He became an assistant to a medical man in the neighbourhood of Holborn, and lived at Hornsey with a married woman named D'OYLEY. On Wednesday last she went to Hornsey, and found BUTLER and his paramour together. She fainted away almost as soon as she entered the room. On recovering, she drew a paper from her pock-t, and putting some white powder, which afterwards turned out to be arsenic, into her hand, swallowed it. The landlady went for a doctor, and an emetic was given to her, but she died the next day. The Jury return ed e a e verdict—" That the deceased took arsenic, being , I_l t h in , time in a state of mental derangement, produc ed ° the w Y ould 1 cruel treatment of BUTLER." They hoped moneytha from the g retences. It was stated be prosecuted on the charge of procurin r the above stated at the inquest, that Mrs. D P was, however, • tanee took poison herself, w hich t elrculris ' • • e to save her life. She is now r extracted in so ft ie:eat tan relations of the deceased under in s very weakly condition. f a lseo P E r after
