THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The news from France still relate to the Em peror's marriage, which excites a lively interest all over the country, while Paris itself has become un usually full of visitors, attracted, no doubt, by the pageant which is to take place to-morrow. In the Moniteur we find the following announcement on this subject :—" The grand master of the cere monies has the honour to inform the public that he has not even a single ticket left for the ceremony of the religious marriage of his Majesty. The grand master of the ceremonies takes this opportu nity of announcing that no person will be admitted to the interior of the Cathedral without a ticket bearing a particular stamp. The members of the Senate, Legislative Body, and Council of State, who are to be present at the ceremony, are informed that they are to be in full dress with white trousers." An immense number of workmen are employe(' in the line which is to be followed by the procession on Sunday. In the middle of the Louvre the basin is being filled with mould, and is intended to re present a corbeille of evergreens and flowering shrubs, which have been already planted. The two gardens of the Colonnade of the Louvre are in a very advanced state; green trees have been planted there, and the borders are now being laid down. The ground between the two gardens has been levelled and paved. In the new Rue de Rivoli the parts which were not levelled are being cleared, and sand is being laid down both on the carriage way and on the unfinished footpaths. Poles, intended to be ornamented with streamers, are being placed throughout the whole line to be followed by the cortege. The Hotel de Ville will be dressed out with flags, and long streamers will wave from the towers of Notre-Dame. At the ball which is to be given by the Senate at the Luxembourg on the 7th of next month to the Emperor, the parts of the building which are to be used are the ground floor and the first floor. The rooms below will be employed principally as yes tiaires, and the state apartments above will be ascended by the grand staircase. All the rooms on the east and west sides of the building will be thrown open upon the occasion, the principal ball room being the old Chamber of Peers, where the public sittings of that body were held for so many years. Near this room is placed the private saloon reserved for the Emperor. It is in the Museum that will be set out tables for a first supper of 200 covers, offered to the Emperor, and afterwards will be served successively three other suppers of 250 places each, reserved for the ladies. The male por tion of the guests will find a buffet amply provided for them in the gallery of the rez-de-chaussee, where a substantial supper will be served without interruption all night. The decorations of the principal rooms will be marked by simple elegance rather than by magnificence, the only striking or nament of the grand gallery upstairs being the Im perial throne, placed at one end, raised about three feet from the ground. It is the old throne of Na poleon 1., which has been regilt for the occasion. Every precaution has been taken to facilitate the ingress and egress of the guests, and all the ar rangements made seem to promise that this fete Will be one of the most brilliant of the season. The Municipal Council of Nantes, has voted the following address to the Emperor, on the occasion of his marriage : " Sire, the Mayor and Municipal Council of the town of Nantes desire to be amongst the first to congratulate Your Majesty on the occasion of the great event which, in assuring the continuance of your dynasty, consoli dated the fortunes of the country. The noble and na tional language of your Majesty to the great bodies of the state, have found in the population of this important Place a sympathetic echo, of which we are happy to be th e organs. The union which your Majesty is about to contract naturally carries back every remembrance to the august Empress Josephine, so well known for her benevol ence , a nd so beloved by!the people. It is, then, With a !deep-felt joy that the people of Nantes join in th e acclamations with which all France will desire to give to her glorious liberator a new testimony of her profound gratitude and faithful devotedness. We are, &c." The Commissaries of Police of the department of the Seine called on Thursday at the various factories in the department, and announced to the directors that the Ethperor " would see with pleasure the Operatives assemble on Sunday and form part of the cortege." A considerable number of banners and streamers have been prepared for the occasion ; and it is probable that these emblems will be borne by th e corporations of trades. Some bear the French colours, some French and Spanish united, and some the red and yellow of the Spanish flag only. On one side are the words " Vive Empe reur," and on the other " Vive Imperatrice. , ' A grand review is also spoken of after the mar riage, either at the Champ de Mars or in the Champs Elysees, for the presentation of the Em press to the people and the troops. A decree of LhG 25-Th ratifies and promulgates the regulations between France, Belgium, and the Ne therlands, relative to international communications by railways. They are to the effect that goods placed in waggons which are sealed or locked shall not be examined by the customs officers at the respective frontiers ; that eac h a d m i n i stration of customs shall respect the seals and l oc k s o f t h e two other states ; that custom officers shall accompany the trains to the nearest custom-house in the neighbouring country ; and that the luggage of passengers shall generally be examined at the frontiers, but that when that shall not be done it shall be placed in closed waggons. The Moniteur in announcing the fact of the French Ambassador at St. Petersburg, the Marquis de Castelbajac, having presented his new letters of credence to the Emperor of Russia, says :—" His Ma jesty expressed to the Ambassador in warm terms the great satisfaction that he felt A seeing official relations established with the Government of his Imperial Majesty." A decree in the Moniteur declares that the com mission of revision for the distribution of the re mainder of the indemnity paid by Mexico, in virtue of the convention of March 9, 1839, having termi nated its labours, is dissolved. All the appropria tions of this indemnity fixed by the commission will be paid integrally by the Caisse des Depots et Consignations. The employment of whatever funds may remain over will be determined at a later period, on a report presented to the Emperor by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. A rumour having been current that some cases of Asia tic cholera had occurred in Paris, the Union Medical states on authority, that the number of cases of cholera in the hospitals during the last six months has not exceeded 12, which is not higher than the annual average for years past. In these cases, only one of whic was of a serious character, the Asiatic symptoms were absent, and the patients were cured. Influenza (grippe), says the same jour nal, has been very frequent, but the disease has sel dom resisted the medical treatment. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the pro duce of the customs and indirect taxes in Decem ber, 1852, which amounted to 13,405,987 f. They had been, in the corresponding month of 1851, 9 ,692,026 f. The receipts of the entire year were 1 39,760,264 f., showing an increase of 22,600,000 f. as compared with those of 1851. The salt tax gave, in 1852 32,275,402 f., or 5,641,000 more than last Year. The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railway Company with its extensions for the week ending the 22d inst., amount to 537,571 f., being an in crease of 100,978 f., as compared with the corres ponding week of last year. The Bourse, which closed so firm on Thursday,. opened yesterday with every appearance of a further Improvement in the price of public securities , and the Th ree p er Cents., which opened at 80f. 70c., rose to 80f. 90c. Sh ortly afterwards it was stated that M. Hubner, the Austrian Minister, had de clared that he would not appear at the Tuileries until he had received further instructions from Vienna. This caused the Three per Cents. to fall to 80f. 40c. The announcement in the Moniteur de l' Armee that General Reyau had been appointed to the command of the Active Di on of Cavalry assembled at Luneville, pro duced further uneasiness, and the Three per Cents. fell to 80f. 30c., at which price they closed for the end of the month, being a fall of 40c. as compared with the closing price of yes terda--. y The Four -and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 104 f. 80c. it was mentioned after the Bourse that three decrees would appear in the Moniteur the first reducing the budget or the Minister of Public Works by 30,000,000 f. ; the second re ducing the army by 60,000 men ; and the third re calling Generals Changarnier and Lamoriciere from exile. R a il way Shares were more firm than Go v_clnment renter.

W moo which th e B aron von Chamber, for tS the withd rawal of c ertaininstructi ons l ate l y i ssued by the G overnment to the provincial authorities, and directed against the' active encroachments of the Jesuits in Prussia, the eight Catholic Bishops have signed and prcsented a petition or remon strance to the King, which has been by him sub mitted to the deliberation;, of the Cabinet on seve ral occasions. A decision it is said has been come to on the subject, but neither tbiF3 nor the subject matter of the petition has been allowed to tran spire. The above-mentioned motion of the BarOn von Waldbott has been made the subject of preliminary discussion in the various general sections of the Chamber, and after maturer investigation in a spe cial committee will come before the whole House for final decision. SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the 23d, but their contents are without importance. By Royal decree, dated the 21st, Don Gabriel de Aristizabal Reutt, ex-minister of Finances, is named Director-General, President of the Junta of public debt. The Diario Espanol states that its first edition of the 23d had been seized. A Madrid letter of the 23d says : " The Bishop of Malaga has addressed a circular to the archdeacons of his diocese to be by them communi cated to the clergy. It prescribes to the clergy the conduct which they are to observe during the coming elections, telling that they ought to remain at a distance from party strife, and give an example of that modera tion which ought always to characterise their sacred calling. The address concludes as follows :--‘ Let the clergy not forget that there can be no prosperity in any state without a rigorous observance of the laws and with out due respect for the constituted authorities. He who votes ought nol to forget in giving his suffrage that dis sension and disorder are contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, trouble the peace of families, and, in the end, lead to the-ruin of society.' " ITALY. According to the last accounts received from Rome the commission appointed for calling in the paper-money, and of which Cardinal Marini is the president, has published the result of its operations from the time of its creation to the 31st December, 1852. The amount withdrawn from circulation is 31 millions of Roman crowns, which is more than half the amount of the paper-money which existed at the time the commission was formed. The em barrassment produced by the forced circulation of this paper has gone on increasing, and has at length arrived at such a point that a premium of two per cent. must be given for changing a large note into small ones, or copper coin. The long talked-of iron wire suspension bridges over the Tiber are at length in course of execution. A Frenchman, M. Bodin-Montgolfier, is the author of the plan and the contractor for the works. There are to be three bridges. One will be a continuation of the Ponte Rolto, a part of which still exists • the second will be at the place where the passage-boat now crosses, and the third will unite the Port of the Ripetta to the populous quarter behind Fort. St. Angelo. The first-named bridge will be completed as rapidly as possible, and the others will be commenced in suc cession. The plans and models of the bridges have been submitted to the Pope and approved of by him. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the 21st says :—" Some sensation has been excited on our Stock Exchange by an announcement that the Russian Government has just contracted for a new 41 per Cent. loan of 3 0 millions of silver roubles (about 160 millions of francs)." The .Prankfurter Journal says :—" M. de La cour, the French ambassador, has at last received his new credentials, but the day for presenting them is not yet fixed, as he is ill in bed. It is said that the Princess Wasa hag, like her daughter, the Princess Carola, embraced the Roman Catholic religion." General Count Leiningen has been sent on a special mission to Constantinople. There is good reason to believelthat he is instructed to inform. the Turkish Government that any attempt to dis turb the status quo in Montenegro will be consi dered equivalent to a declaration of war. It is asserted that the Austrians have already occupied the Sutorina, and probably Kleck, and that the Voivode of Grahowo and his people have sought shelter on this side of the frontier. PIEDMONT. The 24th of January being the day fixed for the question to be addressed to the Piedmontese Cabinet by M. Brofferio, of the Left, on the subject of the condemnation of Dr. Mazzmghi, at Genoa, for Protestant propa g andism, the galleries of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin were crowded to suffocation. M. Brofferio briefly related the facts of the case of Dr. Mazzinghi, who had been condemned a few days before at Genoa to three years' imprisonment in virtue of Art. 164 of the Penal Code of Sar- dinia, for reading the Bible in company with others. He adverted to the manifest contradiction existing between several articles of the code, and the gua rantees granted by the constitution, particularly as related to religious matters. From the moment the constitution was promulgated, the necessity of subjecting the codes to a thorough reform was uni versally acknowledged, and it was only owing to political events that such reform had been ad journed. The hon; deputy quoted several instances of laws in contradiction to the constitution. About a year ago M. Rangous, the responsible editor of a Nice paper, was condemned to a small fine and a few days' imprisonment, for having said that the punishments of hell were not eternal. The sen tence was confirmed by the Court of Cassation, not withstanding it was proved by the counsel for the defence that several fathers of the Church had maintained that opinion. M. Borione da Graglia wrote a pamphlet in support of the same opinion, and happening to be in Switzerland at the time, printed it there. But having, on his return, taken a few copies with him, he was arrested, has been now in prison for the last three months, and may, in virtue of Articles 164 and 165 of the codes, be condemned to twenty years' exile. Had he printed his pamphlet in Piedmont, he would perhaps not have been punished at all, or at most the punishment would have been insignificant. Advocate Cattaneo has been in prison for nearly a year for bringing over from Switzerland a few copies of Ferrari's Philosophy ; another person has been condemned for three years for the introduction of a catechism. Some have been condemned to from five to ten months' imprisonment for talking on religious matters, and a young girl of 16 has been imprisoned at Chiavari for listening to a person reading Pio dati's translation of the Bible. The hon. gentle man concluded by recommending the Chamber to correct the penal code. The Chevalier Boncompagni, Minister of Grace and Justice, contradicted M. Brofferio's assertion that the existing laws prevented the free action of the Constitution, and appealed to the conscience of all present, whether an ample measure of liberty did or did not exist in Piedmont. When the sen tence in the case of Dr. Mazzinghi was known, the Cabinet recommended the King to grant an imme diate pardon. The spirit in which the laws on reli gion were applied in Piedmont was not a spirit of per secution or of intolerance. He perfectly agreed with M. Brofferio that something must be done to amend the existing laws, and pledged himself to bring in a bill next session for the amendement of the penal code. He then adverted to the two opposite principles, which have always been strug jing for supremacy—viz., the inviolability of the religion of the State, and the doctrine of absolute liberty in religious matters. The former went into the extreme error of supposing that man, in his weakness, was to protect the infinite power of God; the other erred equally in declaring that the State was to be atheistical. He, for his part, thought the Catholic religion quite compatible with liberty. The Piedmontese government would neither follow • those who wanted to deprive the church of the Papal authority, nor those who oppose free in stitutions because they have lost certain old privi leges by them. The Minister concluded his speech by declaring most explicitly that the Piedmontese Government was favourable to reform, without any intention, however, on its part to countenance extreme opinions on any side. It would uphold the constitutional banner which had been but a few years ago raised throughout all Italy, even at Rome, and was now everyw h ere s t ruc k d own . The Minister's speech was received with unequi vocal marks of approbation. AMERICA. The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain Lines, from New York, en route for Havre, arrived off Cowes yesterday morning; and after transhipping her English mails and passengers to the small steamer awaiting her arrival, at once left for France. The Humboldt left New York on the 15th inst., consequently brings only ono day's later news than the Asia. for France. France. im from New Orleans, with papers containing laterore The Humboldt brings 45 p alt to the amount of 260,000 dols as and specie mail had arrived at B news from Mexico. It appears that no determination has bee n arrived at in regard to the Tehuantepec t restion. The rumours that were current movement s e city of Mexico, relative to the revo l utionary in the State of Vera Cr uz, had cause d the office of the telegraph company to be filled with peopl e de re de sirous of learning the truth , but the wires we cut, and no communication could be had with the coast. The news of the revolution in Tamaulipas had. reached Mexico. Also the imprisonment of Car denas. The Siglio says it caused but little excite ment, being regarded merely as a local question. No new Minister of Foreign Affairs had. been appointed; the Senate had passed a bill granting an amnesty to parties implicated in the revolutionary [ movement of Rebolledo.the benefits of the am _ nesty to be extended to all pronunciamentos who lay down their arms within a certain time. The health of Charleston is improving. There were only eleven deaths from cholera last week. The revenue of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for December shows an increase of 55,0001. over the corresponding month last year, owing to the increased transportation of coal. The Erie Railroad was clear of snow, and the cars running. The Arabia left Halifax for Boston on the 14th instant, having taken in a sufficient quantity of coal. vv The Hon. William Upham, one of the United States senators from the State of Vermont, died at Washington on the 14th instant. MARKETS. NEW YORK, JAN. 15.—There was a slightly increased inquiry for money to-day on call, but the general rate was six per cent. Exchange keeps down, and bills are at 1091 to 1091. Ashes are in better demand at very full rates. Pots at $4 621 c., and Pearls at $5 75c. per 100 lbs. Coal.—No change of interest has occurred in An thracite. Some 120 chaldrons Sydney fetched $6 75c. cash. _ _ • Cotton is without alteration. The unfavourable ad vices received per Arabia have made no impression upon the trade here. Though the demand is not very exten sive, it is relatively in excess of the receipts, and conse quently sustains prices. ' NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 14.—The Arabia's news, which left New York by the O'Reilly line •at half-past eight o'clock, was received here at nine o'clock last evening. Cotton has not yet experienced any effect from it, but buyers are holding off. Sterling exchange is down to 7Ac. to Bc. per cent., the latter for fancy signatures. Freights are firm at id. to Liverpool. The weather is fine and the city healthy.—Nine, p.m.: Cotton firm and active since the reception of the Arabia's news, which was more favourable than was anticipated. The sales of the week have been 66,000 bales. Increased receipts at all south ern ports over last year, 456,000. CHARLESTON, JAN. 12.—A short supply of cotton has excited the market. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JAN. 28. The Junior Proctor will receive the names of under graduates who intend to offer themselves for the respon sions in Hilary Term, on Monday, January 31, from 12 till 1 o'clock ; Tuesday, February 1, from 12 till 2 o'clock ; Wednesday, February 2, from 12 till 3 o'clock.

A list of the sub jects and books in which he proposes to be examined, signed with his own name. N.B.—Those candidates who may require leave from the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors to have their names inserted in the list without incurring the loss of any of their terms are requested to attend at the Vice-Chan cellor's house on Tuesday, February 2, at 10 o'clock, and to bring with them, from the head or tutor of their College or Hall, a written statement of the grounds on which the dispensation is sought. Corpus Christi College, Jan. 28. PHYSICAL AND HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY. Mr. George Butler, M.A., late Fellow of Exeter Col lege, will, by permission of the Vice-Chancellor and trustees of the Taylor Institution, deliver a course of lec tures on the above subjects, in the lecture-room of the Taylor Institution, on Wednesdays and Fridays during the present term, at eight o'clock p.m., to commence on Wednesday, February 2. The professor of the Anglo-Saxon proposes during the present term to lecture on the Ormulum, as a text book for the transition period of the English language, from the recent edition of Dr. White. It is also proposed to open a class for beginners. Gentlemen who desire to join either of these classes are requested to call on the Professor at Oriel College, on Tuesday, February 1, be tween the hours of one and three. The Professor of Chemistry will begin his next course at the new building contiguous to the Botanic Gardens, on Wednesday, the 2d of February, at eight o'clock in the evening. These lectures will be continued every Wednesday and Friday evenings during the present term, and will principally relate to the chemistry of the alkalies, earths, and metals. Gentlemen who expect to require a certificate of attendance must enter their names in the Professor's book at the commencement of the course. Yesterday the Bishop of Winchester, Mr. Sumner, and Dr. Haggard left Oxford, after having held a visita tion of Trinity College. The proceedings were opened on Tuesday morning by his Lordship's calling together the whole of the collegiate body which is upon the Foundation, in the hall of the College, immediately after morning prayers in the chapel. For two days without intermission the President and Fellows have been before him proposing their difficulties, receiving counsel, read ing their statutes, and examining into their finances. It is generally understood that the advice which he be stowed was sound, practical, and well suited for the present occasion. New College and Trinity have set an example which it would be well for other colleges to follow. The Bishop of 'Winchester is Visitor of four other colleges in Oxford besides Trinity, New College, Magdalen, Corpus, and St. John's, the Heads or Vice gerents of which were invited to meet their common Visitor in the Hall of Trinity College on Tuesday evening.

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, while several workmen were en gaged in erecting some new buildings in Huntingdon street, near the New Model Prison, one of the unfinished walls gave way, and three of the men were buried in the debris. Their fellow-workmen hastened to the spot, and with some difficulty extricated them. They were then conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, when it was ascertained that one had his skull much fractured, besides internal injuries ; the others had sustained severe contusions, and likewise injured internally. The sufferers Were in a very precarious condition, THE SHARE MARKETS. Paid I RAILWAYS. 100 8i Aberdeen !Ambg. Nottug. Bost & Eastn. Junct Birmg. Wolverb. Stour Valley Birkenhd. Lanw3h.

Business this day. x d Captain O'Brien has arrived at the Admiralty, and has entered upon his duties as private secretary to the First Lord, Sir James Graham, Bart. The Admiralty have marked their appreciation of the good conduct of many of the crew of the Phaeton, 50, just paid off at Sheerness, by ordering them to be entered at the various dockyards as seamen riggers. About 150 good seamen have been entered on board the various ships of the navy fitting at the ports during the past week. THE SMALL-PDX ON BOARD THE HERCULES, AT QUEENS TOWN.--The Admiralty has authorised the gallant com mander-in-chief at Cork to receive the emigrants, as well as the crew affected with small-pox, at the Royal Naval Hospital at Haulbowline. One death only has occurred as yet, which is that of a child, who was buried at sea ; but another, that of an adult, was expected to occur on Wednesday evening. It is most fortunate that the old hospital was not dismantled, or the old fittings dis turbed, and that the new one was finished. The gall an t admiral has evinced the most anxious solicitude for the poor emigrants on board the Hercules, and the medical officer at Queenstown, Dr. Dunn, has exerted himself most laudably on the occasion. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 28. ARRIVAL OF THE TYNE FROM BRAZIL AND THE COAST OF AFRICA. Tyne, 4, store-ship, Master Commander Peter Wel lington, arrived at Spithead this day, about 10 a.m. The weather was so thick the whole morning that her number could not be seen from the shore. Some time after, the commander landed with dispatches at the dockyard. The Tyne is 38 days from Rio. She brings home a large mail, and a small quantity of treasure. Also as passengers—Lady Henderson, the wife of Rear- Admiral Henderson, C. 8., of the Centaur, 6, flag-ship of South American squadron ; Captain E. F. L. Cannon ; Miss Truscott, niece of the admiral, and Mrs. Hunt and son, the family of the Consul General of Monte Video. The Tyne went the round of the African squadron and the South American squadron. Centaur, steam-frigate, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8.. was cruising off Cape Frio. Express, 6, brig, Commander William F. Fead, had sailed for Bahia. Vixen, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander Frederick L. Barnard, was in the River Plate. Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieut. Commander Charles Make, and Rifleman, 8, screw steam-sloop, Lieut. Com mander Richard H. Dalton, were cruising off the Cathe rines. The Tyne has brought home invalids from the squa dron ; also a number of boys released from the service of the Brazilian Government, and a quantity of old stores. As soon as the Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fan shawe heard that Lady Henderson and family were on board, the gallant admiral instantly ordered his galley to Spithead, and brought the ladies on shore. They have taken up their quarters at the George Hotel, High street. The Tyne is ordered off to Woolwich. She left this port on the 10th of September, 1852, with stores for the squadrons. Rodney, 92, Captain Charles Graham, hauled out of the fitting basin this morning, having taken her shot and boatswain's stores on board, and is now alongside the Blake, receiving-hulk. Rhadamanthus, steam troop-ship, Master Commander John Belam, has hauled alongside the south jetty to land tanks and stores for the dockyard ; after which she proceeds westwardly with a new screw-propeller for the Edinburgh, 58, screw gunnery tender-ship. Medea, 6, steam-sloop, Commander John C. Bailey, went out of harbour at noon, and brought up at Spit head. Wellington, 136, screw line-of-battle ship, will be hauled out of the new dock to-morrow, into the steam basin under the shears, and will receive her masts, bow sprit, &c. Leopard, 16, Capt. George Giffard, will be hauled into the new dock, to have her copper cleaned, when the Duke comes out. The chartered troop-ship Roman Emperor, received the head-quarters of the 85th Regiment on board, from the dockyard, at 10 a.m. The troops marched from their barracks at nine, preceded by the 91st and 19th bands, and accompanied by a vast number of the towns people. This regiment, by its high discipline and excel lent conduct, has obtained the kindliest feeling from the whole of the inhabitants, and it speaks volumes when we state that out of 800 men there was only one prisoner, and he looked thoroughly ashamed of himself. The Roman Emperor and Marion sail for the Mauritius to morrow. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 27. Swift, 6, Commander Aldham, will be paid off on Sa turday next (this day). Argus, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Purvis, went out of harbour on Wednesday, and has drawn charts for the Channel and western station. Magicienne, 14, steam-corvette, Captain Fisher, has also drawn charts for the Channel and the western sta tion, and has gone out of harbour this day. She saluted the flag, which was answered by the Impregnable. Castor, 36, Commander Wyvill, landed a quantity of boxes, parcels, &c., which were forwarded to the Admi ralty. The wind now is dead on end against her pro ceeding to ChP tham. She is at present in the Sound. The surgeon, R. J. B. Chambers, goes to the hospital at this port from ill health. Vulture. 6, steam-frigate, Captain F. H. H. Glasse, went into the Sound this morning, where she awaits orders. Pyrenees, convict-ship, arrived yesterday from the eastward. Captain Chambers, of the Desperate, screw-corvette, and Commander Glynn, of the Hogue, 53, screw-guard• ship, return from leave on Saturday. JAN. 28. The Vulture, having had defects made good, went out of Barn Pool into the Sound yesterday. The General Screw Steams-hipping Company's mail packet Hydaspes, Captain Greig, left the Sound at half past 7 last evening for the Cape and Calcutta. Some little damage to the feed pipe of her engine was repaired in the Sound. The ship was inspected and crew mus tered by Captain A. Low, of her Majesty's ship Im pregnable, who expressed. his satisfaction with all the arrangements. The Hydaspes takes 50 mail bags—viz., 27 for Cape Town, 10 for the Mauritius, 6 for Port Na tal, 2 for St. Helena, and one each for the Cape Verde, Ascension, Ceylon, Madras, and Calcutta. The Faith, screw-steamer, arrived this morning, and will sail to-morrow afternoon with mails for the coast of 16A I Africa. Her Majesty's frigate Castor, 30, Commodore Wyvill, sailed this morning, at eight o'clock, for Portsmouth. A large black steam-frigate, barque-rigged, with two funnels, is just entering the harbour from the eastward. The Otter steam-packet, belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, came in this morning from London and Ramsgate, and will sail shortly with mails for Van couver's Island. SHEERNESS, JAN. 27. The Rattlesnake, 8, Commander Henry Trollope.— This vessel has been put out of dock to-day. The crew will be paid their advance at the Little Nore on Thursday next, the 3d of February. It is reported that a steam vessel will accompany her to the Pacific, so as to insure her getting up to her station before the winter sets in there. Th Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland.— This ship is receiving her coals, which are being trans ported from the coal depot in Saltpan Reach to her at her moorings. The Archer, 44, screw steam-sloop, Commander James N. Strange, leaves here to-morrow for Leith. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy struck his flag last evening, and he proceeded on leave of absence. This morning the Commodore's burgee was hoisted blue at the main on board the Waterloo, by Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, senior in command at this port. Civil Service.—Mr. Charles Stewart has been con firmed as third-class in the storekeeper's office here, his appointment bearing date the Ist of January, 1852. WOOLWICH, JAN. 28. The Espieigle, 12, at Sheerness, is to be brought for ward immediately for commission, and Commander George Hancock is to have the command of that vessel. Commodore Henry Eden, Superintendent of Wool wich dockyard, has returned from leave and resumed his duties as head of this naval port. The engines, of 560 horse power, originally intended for the Megwra steam-frigate, are being proceeded with at the factory at this yar, it being desirable to have them ready for shipment about the Ist of April for Plymouth, where they are to be fitted in the Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, at that port. The screw-frigate Imperieuse, 51, Captain R. B. Watson, commissioned at this port, and now fitting at Chatham, entered forty men on Wednesday last. But she is yet 150 short. Resistance, troop-ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, left yesterday, with troops, for Jamaica. Prometheus, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Foote, will be paid off on Monday next. Her complement is 100. Megmra, screw-frigate, Commander Johnson, is re ported to be complete to-morrow. Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Hyde Parker, will be out of the hands of the dockyard by the 9th Feb ruary, and ready for sea by the 12th. She is not fully manned yet. Cruiser, screw-sloop, Commander the Hon. H. Douglas, is quite ready for service, except that she is not com pletely manned. Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, will be completed in the engineer's department by the middle of next month, but she will not be ready for commission before the begin ning of April. The Eclipse barge was raised yesterday and taken on shore at the mast house. She had sunk when laden with timber for the dockyard, in consequence of the pa an anchor having perforated h er b ottom when she rested upon upon it at low water. ROYAL MARINES. WOOLWICH, JAL 28. The death of Lieutenant Lock, of this corps, of yellow fever, while serving on board the Calypso, 18, on the West India station, to which vessel he was appointed in June last, is confirmed by the following promotion : Second-Lieutenant Francis Walton, of the Woolwich Division, to be First-Lieutenant, and appointed to the same division, vice Lock, deceased. Lieutenant Walton is at present serving on board the Britannia, 120, flag ship of Vice-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C. 8., on the Mediterranean station.

S. Harrison, with three subalterns. The recruiting for the Royal Marines is proceeding very satisfactorily, numbers of young men well adapted for the service being sent weekly to head-quarters for instruction. During the present scarcity of seamen it would be advisable still further to augment this branch of the naval service, as the Royal Marines are a most useful body of men, afloat or on shore ; and, owing to their excellent instruction and discipline before serving in ships of war or war steamers, they are much more tractable than sailors, and not so scrupulous in lending a hand at any kind of work as those who pride them selves on being first-rate seamen, and have generally a dislike to serve in steam-vessels. THE WAR IN BURMAH. (Front the Times.) The intelligence which reached us yesterday by a telegraphic dispatch from Trieste with reference to the last incident of the Burmese war is of a dis tressing and unexpected charaAer. For, although we have long since anticipated no good results from the languid operations of General Godwin, it was scarcely possible to conceive that an officer who had neglected every opportunity of carrying on the war from an excess of precaution should end by placing his outposts at the mercy of the Bur mese army. In truth, the only b us i ness o f th e campaign up t o this time seems to have been to take and lose and retake Pegu—a position,- after all, in no way essential to the main object of the war. On two former occasions we had attacked this place, always with success, but we found each time that the resistance of the enemy became more formidable. Nevertheless, a feeble detachment of only 440 men was left in the town, though it was notoriously within reach of one of the principal divisions of the Burmese army. The consequence was that the enemy attacked the place. The communications with Rangoon were interrupted, a convoy of ammunition was taken by the Burmese, and a first attempt to relieve the garrison was repulsed with loss. Matters had reached this point, when two columns of 2,400 men marched upon the Burmese army, defeated it, and rescued the small garrison, to whose gal lantry, rather than to the prudence of the General, we owe this successful termination of a very un pleasant and dangerous incident. When further particulars reach us, we trust it may turn out that this action has given a serious blow to the enemy but if so, it will be the first that General Godwin has attempted to strike, and he seems more en gaged in defending the ground he had occupied than in dictating conditions to the Burmese Government. At any rate, it is impossibl e t o acqu i t t h e off i cers in command of this expedition of very inconsistent conduct and inadequate measures. If it was worth while to attack and capture Pegu at all, it is worth while to hold it with a sufficient force. No value can be attached to operations which merely end in driving back the enemy, without any attempt to disperse his armies or to destroy his resources, leaving him to return upon his former positions, as he has twice done at Pegu, when we were less pre pared to defend ourselves. But, in truth, the con tinued occupation of Peg-u and the adjacent terri tory can have no serious political effect on the Court of Ava, while it diverts a considerable body of our troops from the best strategical line of operations, and harasses them with the accidents of a subsidiary campaign. Meanwhile, Sir John Cheape and the naval officers who are eager for the termination of the war, which they would probably have accom plished, when the season permitted it, by a coup de main, are still literally confined to the station at Prome by their orders, and by the rapid fall which has now taken place in the stream of the Irrawaddy; indeed, at the date of the last intelligence, they seemed more exposed to be attacked by the Bur mese than to attack the enemy in his intrench ments. These facts, which are not denied even by those who are responsible for these proceedings, ap pear to us to constitute a case for grave military inquiry ; and after the experience of the last few months, it is impossible that the Government and the public can rest satisfied with the mode in which this important expedition has been conducted. Among the divided authorities of the naval and mi litary service, and between the complicated action of the Board of Control under different Ministers, the Court of Directors, and the Governor-General of India, it is not easy to point at once to the most responsible and the most culpable person. But as soon as Parliament meets we shall expect to find these questions dealt with as becomes a subject so nearly affecting the honour, the policy, and the in terests of the country. It is time we should know on what principles, after all, this Burmese war is conducted. We are told—though we can hardly comprehend the deli liberate concurrence of English statesmen or mili tary officers in such an opinion —that the intention of the Indian Government has been to limit the operations in Burmah to the occupation of a fringe of territory on the coast, always to be attacked and defended, without even the security to be derived from a previous defeat of the enemy and a treaty of peace. - It is said, we think very eironeousiy, by members of the same Government which nego tiated the treaty of peace in 1825, that no treaties are of any avail between ourselves and the Bur mese Court. Yet under that same treaty we con tinue to this day to hold undisputed possession of the territory of Arracan, and for upwards of 25 years our commercial relations with the Burmese coast were carried on with as much regularity as can be expected in the dominions of a barbarous Asiatic Power. There cannot be a reasonable doubt that the Court of Ava is perfectly aware of the nature of treaty engagements, and perfectly able to enforce the fulfilment of them. Yet, by some infatuation, which has yet to be explained, we are told that no attempt is to be made on Ava, where alone it seems probable that a decisive blow may be struck, and our forces are scattered in the attack and defence of paltry positions, which it is useless to take and inconvenient to hold. These operations forcibly remind us of the half measures on tie coast of China which commenced our war with that power, when it was supposed that the occupation of Chusan would bring even the Celes tial Emperor to terms, until, after wasting time, money, and troops, a vigorous attack was made at the heart of the empire, and Sir Henry Pottinger signed his treaty of peace under the walls of Nan kin. There is less excuse for General Godwin's delay and failure in this instance, as he was at once placed at the head of a force quite capable of car rying everything before it ; the rainy season proved more favourable to the ascent of the river than any other time of the year ; and it was demonstrated by actual experiment on Prome, that nothing was wanting to a brilliant and rapid victory but the will to grasp it. Unhappily it was equally appa rent at a very early stage of these operations, and even at the great distance from the scene of action at which we write, that General Godwin took no account whatever of the superior forces which a powerful steam navy placed at his command. He chose to conduct the war precisely as if neither the great river of the Burmese empire nor the naval and military resources of British India had under gone the slighest change in the last thirty years. Accordingly, he found villages which he remem bered on the banks of the Irrawaddy now con verted into populous towns ; and he hung back for months with as many needless delays as if the British army had to cut its way through the jungle. In reality, these pedantic pre cautions have led our troops into the only dangers from which they had anything to fear, for they have taught the enemy to view our boasted power with contempt, and even to measure his own strength against us, and they have exposed the whole expedition to the prolonged action of an in salubrious climate. If th e B urmese h a d rea ll y been . the formidable war r i ors w hi c h G enera l God win appears to supp ose th em to b e, - t h ey wou ld ere this have completed the parallel which his own conduct suggests with that of General Elphinstone at Cabul. It is with great regret that we find ourselves compelled to use this language in speaking of a general in command of her Majesty's forces in the field ; but if the opinion which General Godwin's first operations were calculated to produce had been acted upon with greater resolution, we should now have to deplore a disgraceful periodof suspense, interrupted at last by a disaster. No unforeseen circumstance has occurred to disturb the plans of the staff ; no resistance has anywhere manifested itself which could prevent our troops from doing whatever they pleased to attempt. The whole re sponsibility of the delay rests . with those neglected to advance, when it was literally easier to to advance than to remain stationary.. expla nations which have been transmitted to this coun tryse who__ l as ia . v e e r • on this point are wholly ni . isatis f fa t e h t is due to the spirit and abliityo rior ; caelsidenit interests of the gaged, as well . as to . the politicals7es should be taken which manifestly t c o ou t i e i m try li , n t a h te at a im s m ta e t th e immediate cen sure on men who are entrusted with; a power thy throws a heavy responsibility and grievous , are afraid to use. ROCKITEIS3I.—On Sunday night last an armed party attacked the house of a widow named Power, at Cat-3- town, in the parish of Aghaviller, and made severed attempts, but without success, to force in the door und windows, which fortunately were strongly barred and secured ; they then . tried to break in through the roof of part of the premises, which fell, carrying the loft with it, to the ground. Th e rockites then departed, having fired a shot. Providentially no one was hurt by the fall of the roof and loft. We believe the attack resulted from 5 9 11 1 e agrarian dispute,--ZilkennyMocknitor.
