was not the Bill which could bring the question to a satisfac. tory settlement, but that another legislative measure should be introduced of a very different complexion. Sir JOHN BURKE agreed in the propriety of these obser vations, and opposed the Bill. After a few words from Mr. GOULBURN, directing the Holse to the real question at issue, and the point which they had to decide, _ . Mr. LEADER expressed his determination to vote for going into the Committee. Lord INGESTRIE was also determined to vote for the Bill. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN opposed the Bill, and contended that the Noble Lord (Plunkett) had invariably shown the greatest indifference about fees.—(A laugh, and " Oh," from the Opposition.) Mr. NICHOLSON CALVERT, as one of those who felt it his duty to support the Government, would, of course, support their resistance to the Bill as a Government question.—(Hear, and a laugh, from the Opposition.) The House then divided— For going into Committee B4 Against it BB Majority for Ministers —4 The result was hailed with loud cheers by the Opposition. GENERAL REGISTRY BILL On our return to the gallery, Colonel MABERLY entreated the Hon. Member for Stafford to postpone his motion for the second reading of the General Registry Bill, in order that they might proceed with the Ordnance Estimates. Mr. CAMPBELL said the Noble Lord (Althorp) had pledged himself to give this day for the consideration of the Bill at the time that he (Mr. Campbell) consented to postpone it; and he confessed that he despaired of proceeding with his Bill during this session, if he lost the present opportunity. He was anxious that the Bill might be read a second time, in order that hemight move that it be referred to a Select Committee, who would be able to investigate the whole question in all its bearings. Mr. RICE said the Government would be very unwilling to place any obstacle in the way of a Bill which came before the House in pursuance of the recommendation of the Committee on the law of real property, and he therefore left it in the dis cretion of the House. Sir C. WETHERELL thought the Bill should be postponed till they got rid of the Reform question. Mr. HODSON said many Members were absent who intended to oppose the Bill ; and if the Hon. Member persevered in his motion, he would divide the House on the question of adjournment. Mr. C. FERGUSON was in favour of the Committee, the ap pointment of which the Hon. Member intended to move. Mr. It. TREVOR was resolved to oppose the Bill by every means in his power, and in every stage. Mr. STRICKLAND thought the Bill should be postponed, to allow time for further consideration. Mr. JOHN WOOD observed, that few questions had ever come before the House of which the Members, and indeed the country generally, were so ignorant, as the Act for a general registration. He would mention a curious instance of this ig norance. In a northern county, which for obvious reasons he would not particularise, a meeting was called lately to petition against the Bill. This meeting was called under the authority of the Lord Lieutenant of the county. He (Mr. Wood) hap pened to be in the county town on the day appointed, and some of the principal requisitionists who were to get up the pe. tition to be agreed on actually sent to him to know if he had a copy of the Bill with him, as not one pf those opposed to it had ever seen it or read its provisions ?—(Hear.) He mentioned this as a specimen of the kind of opposition which interested persons had got up against the measure of his Hon. Friend. The fact was, that the majority of landed gentlemen were under the dominion of their attorneys, and that attorneys knew that their profits would be matertally diminished if the Bill were passed into a law. Where a Commission had been ap pointed by the Crown to investigate the matter, he thought that the House of Commons ought at least to look at the result of the labours of that Commission. Lord R. GROSVENOR recommended further inquiry. Sir E. B. SUGDEN thought it better, the whole materials of judgment being before the House, that the House should de cide on the question, instead of sending it to be considered by a Select Committee. Whenever the Bill came to be discussed, he was persuaded that the loss which it would occasion would be much greater than the benefit. Mr. SCHONSW AR maintained that the measure was gene. tally unpalatable to the country, and ought not to be forced upc n it. He was averse to sending the question to a Committee above stairs. Mr. LABOUCHERE, although he believed the opinion of the country was strongly opposed to the measure, thought that the House was bound to inquire fully into its merits, and that it could not do so in a better way than by first sending it to be considered by a Committee above stairs ; reserving to itself, of course, the power snbsequently to decide on its principles and details. . . Mr. JAMES had no objection to allow the subject to go to the consideration of a Select Committee, provided that Commit tee were fairly chosen by a ballot. Lord HOWICK said that his constituents were strongly op posed to the measure. If the proposition had been that the Bill be read a second time, he should certainly have voted against It ; but as he thought that the consideration of the question by a Committee above stairs would be productive of very beneficial results, he would support that motion. Mr. HOWARD was apprehensive that the proceeding be fore a Select Committee would be attended with considerable ex pence. Lord MORPETH observed, that his constituents were tho roughly opposed to the Bill. Indeed, the county of York had already as ystem of registration, with which they were quite con t mted. Although he should not consider himself pledged to support the suggestions of any Committee, he felt that consist ently with fairness and justice, he could not oppose the motion for a Committee. Mr. I,Ie'RANGH A M admitted, that hostile as he was to a measure which, after the best consideration that he could give It, he was satisfied would multiply tenfold the evils which it professed to remedy, he could not refuse his consent to refer the petitions respecting it to the consideration of a Committee. Re ferring to what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Preston, he denied that country gentlemen were under the dominion of attorneys, or of any other Learned Gentlemen. Mr. BERNAL did not suppose that his Hon. and Learned Friend intended that Counsel and agents should be heard before the proposed Committee ; but wished that he would state the course he meant to pursue. Mr. CAMPBELL certainly did not mean to propose that Counsel should be heard before the Committee; but he should be very sorry to cut off any person from stating to that Com mittee his objections to the measure. He was persuaded that an examination of the question before a Select Committee would throw great light upon it, would dispel prejudice, and would enable the House to come to a dispassionate considera tion of the Bill. Mr. CAMPBELL postponed the second reading to the 16th of April. On the question that a Select Committee be ap pointed to receive information concerning this Bill, the House divided, when there appeared— For the appointment of the Committee 85 Against it 3O Majority —ss The Committee was then appointed. Mr. DIXON put the same question which he put last night, on the subject of the quit rents paid for land in the colony of New South Wales. . . . . Lord HOWICK was not the Under Secretary who had the management of that colony, and could not, therefore, give the Hon. Member an answer to the question ; but he would endea vour to-morrow to inform himself on the subject. The House then formed itself into a Committee of Supply upon the Ordnance Estimates. 'The resolution that 6,9291. should be granted to defray the ex penees of the out-stationa abroad for the quarter ending the 3lst .‘larch, 1112, having been put from the chair, Colonel SIB fHORPE protested against the House sitting in Committee on Estimates at so late an hour. Ile moved, as an amendment, that 4,000/. should be granted instead of the sum proposed. Strangers were ordered to withdraw ; but on the gallery being re.opened, it was understood that the original resolution was agreed to without a division. The other estimates having been agreed to, the House resumed. The Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Two o'clock. STEPHEN GIRARD, THE AMERICAN BANKER.—The greater portion of the weilth bequeathed by this eccentric individual is comprised iu the residue, which goes to the payment of the Philadelphia taxes. The Amei lean Papers are filled with rem irks on the clauses of the will, and with anecdotes of the munificent testator. THE AMBASSADRESS.—NAPOLEON used to employ female spies ; which is a refinement in the art of procuring intelligence. The refinement is carried one step farther when an ambassadress, instead of an ambassa dor, is employed. A great Northern Court well under stands the benefit of this arrangement. The amha.sadress was regularly bred to her profession, and her imperial master needs not fear to match her against the ablest di plomatists of the day. Our first and best Ministers have succumbed before her; they made soft speeches while she • was picking their brains; all but Lord CasTLEREAGH ....the immaculate and impassible—he alone of our prime movers had the courage to resist the approaches, of the protocol in petticoats. CANNING fell. The Doke tri umphed—in a way ; when at the small door of the Pre mier's residence opening into St, James's-park, her carriage made one of the string of lady claimants upon the ducal energies—on that morning England was sure to play a losing game. Even the venerable GEORGE himself, whom the reports of the manoeuvres of this fair- headed dame of the North used so much to amuse, fell a victim to her syren arts. Aft er an i n t er vi e w of several hours with our late venerable Sovereign, the ambassadress in stantly despatched a courier to the land of quass. Whether she told all that passed or not is immaterial. Lord LIVER• roof , procured a copy of the despatch and regaled the eyes of the Roya l v i ctim with an account of the only re sults of the meeting which the lady thought worth re cording. This person is now one of the must active and dangerous enemies of the Reform Bill. Her position gives her advantages which may at least embarrus— although she must approach this KING through a different channel from the last. Let not the uninformed reader be deceived by tae artful composition of this lady's advertised parties—they are parked for show ; one Whig of bulk well mask half-a-dozen En;lish Carlists —Spectator.

A number of addresses were presented to his Majesty from va rious places. After the Levee the King held an Investiture of the Bath, which was attended by Garter King of Arms and the other Officers of the Order. Rear-Admiral Sir John Tremayne Rodd and Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel were in troduced to the Royal presence, preceded by Mr. Woods, the Se -1 cretary to the Knights Commanders, when they received the honour of knighthood, and were invested with the insignia of Knight Commanders of the Bath. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which Sir William °arrow was introduced and sworn in as a Privy Councillor. Sir William took his seat at the Board accordingly. Several alterations were made in the pricked list of Sheriffs for the present year. Lord Hill had an audience of the King, to lay the report of the Court-martial held at Bristol on Captain Warrington before his Majesty. The result, it is expected, will be made public this day. AIRING THE NOBILITY.—An American Paper, in allusion to the "airing," in the Court Circular of the London Court Journal, laments the apparently musty state of the English Nobility, and the consequent necessity of their frequent exposure to atmospheric purifi c ttion. Another Paper adds, that it would afford the Newspaper gentlemen a better subject for paragraphs, if they could learn that her MAJESTY ha I also a little air. CHARACTERISTIC ANECDOTE OF A "TRUE BRITISH SAILOR."-It was intimated to a distinguished personage, now at Brighton, that, as the cholera had reached London, it might be dangerous to go thither. The necessity for th ►t distinguished personage's visit to the metropolis is deemed, by those who advise him, essential to the settlement of the Reform Bill. It was thought a fortunate coincidence to lay hold of the cholera as a pre text for a counter-movement, and feminine apprehension was brought to bear upon domestic affections. We give the answer as it has reached us :—" No ; I have promised to be in town—and me, if it ended in a trip to Davy's Locker, go I will." GOD bless the tongue that spoke these words, and GOD protect the speaker from all maladies, even beyond the ordinary duration of human life.—News. LORD THURLOW'S MANNERS AND PER SONAL APPEARANCE.-Neither among the suitors, thrt solicitors, nor the bar of the Court of Chancery, were Lord Tintatow's manners likely to render him very popular. He seems to have taken a pride in carrying rudeness and churlishness to an extreme, insomuch that he was com monly designated in the profession by the nick-name of the tiger. In private life, and even in his official intercourse with Members of the Cabinet and others, he seldom gave himself the trouble to check the accustomed oaths, where. with, after the rnani.er of his predecessor, Lord NORTH INGTON, he was in the habit of occasionally garnishing his discourse. With this habit he had given himself of call ing indifferently upon GOD and the Devil to witn ess hi s asseverations, it is to be supposed he had some difficulty in restraining the indulgence of the propensity while sitting in the Curt of Chancery, where inde e d t h e potentate of the nether regions, at least, is by many h e ld to b e, i f not in his proper person, at least in intendment and contem plation of law, or rather equity, as constantly present as the KING himself in the Court of King's Bench. He did, however, contrive to repress the inclination : though those who watched him in his not unfrequent moods of irritation, used to assert that the rising of the oath to his lips, and the bard strug g l e to gulp it down before it could escape their portals, were often distinctly v i s ibl e . When he was once leaving the Court at the close of the legal season, without making any farewell compliment to the bar, one of the juniors remarked to his neighbour, in tones sufficiently audible to reach the bench, " I think lie might at least have said, Whether the Chancellor felt the justice of the rebuke for his incivility, or whether he was pleased with the form of the salutation suggested by the young B arr i ster, or whether in fine (for it is but fairto presume such a thing probalde) his want of politeness on the oc cas i on had been inadverten t, he certainly did turn round, and repair the omission by taking a formal leave. To these few traits of character and manner, we may a dd a slight sketch of his personal appearanc e in Court, t a k en (it does not appear at what time), by th e veteran farce writer O ' KeerE. " I saw Lord T 111.711L0W in C our t, lie was thin, and seemed not well in health : h e l eaned k which were spre id wide, an forward N d vit b h .9 h hand iselbw hands clutched s on his in other.

We last night printed, in a Second Edition, the whole of the Extraordinary Gazette, con taining all the particulars yet known of the in surrection in Jamaica; and we this day re-print it for those subscribers who only received the first impression. From all that appears in the voluminous documents it does not come out dis tinctly what was the real cause of the revolt ; but the objects which the negroes had in view were freedom and exemption from labour. To obtain this end they adopted the most improbable means in the world—and foolishly thought that, by destroying the properties of their masters, their immediate emancipation would ensue, without at all considering that the distress consequent on such wicked proceedings must ultimately affect themselves. The major part of the popu lation seem to have been deluded with an idea that letters had been sent out from Eng land granting unconditional liberty, but that the planters would not communicate the good tidings. This belief, however erroneous, naturally irritated the slaves, and their pas sions had at length become so worked on by designing persons, that a resolution had been come to in several plantations not to work after New Year's Day. From what cause the carrying of this threat into execution had been precipitated nearly a fortnight does not appear ; but great stress is laid upon the insidious interference of the missionaries, who seem to have instilled a wild confusion of religious notions, blended with glowing ideas of liberty, into the ignorant minds of the slaves— and to which beneficial purpose a hundred burn ing plantations bore testimony ! As we have already expressed our opinions on this calamitous affair, it is unnecessary now to enlarge upon it. _ . The next accounts will in all probability bring us more favourable news, as the progress of the insurrection was evidently arrested by the prompt measures of Sir WILLOUGHBY COTTON. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. KNIGHT moved that the House go into Com mittee on the Master of the Rolls' (Ireland) Bill, which was a Bill to enable the right of that Judge to appoint his own Secretary, to be tried at law. A long discussion ensued on the sub ject, the Bill being opposed by Government and supported by the Opposition, assisted by Mr. O'CoNNELL, Mr. lIuME, and others. A division consequently took place, which resulted in the triumph of Ministers by a meagre majority of four ! In the course of the evening Mr. O'CONNELL announced that on Tuesday next he should propose the re-committal of the Irish Tithe Report ; and also for a statement of the a mount of Mr. STANLEY'S emoluments as Irish Secretary, and the number of days he had been in Ireland since his appointment to that office. In answer to some questions put by Sir R. VYVYAN, respecting the Belgian treaty, Lord PALMERSTON said, that though he con fidentlyexpected the exchange of the - promised ratifications, yet that he feared they would not arrive by the 28th. Brussels and German Papers, received this morning, are occupied with regulations respect iivr quarantine from the cholera being in Eng land. Six days are fixed as the time off' quaran tine at Ostend, Antwerp, and Nieuport. The political news from Germany is contradictory ; but, on the whole, of a pacific tendency. The typhus fever was making dreadful havoc in Gallicia. The French Papers of Tuesday contain no news of importance. Extracts will be found in another column. From the first public announcement of the appearance of the cholera in London, there has been a feeling abroad that the medical men have been getting up what is vulgarly called a job, and that the accounts of the disease have been magnified and exaggerated for purposes not the most praiseworthy. We must not be understood to concur in throwing anything like reproach on the scientific persons, from whose reports the public derive what knowledge they have of the malady, but we cannot avoid doubting whether there has not been some precipitancy in publish ing from authority the existence in London of a disease of which the world is in terror. There is much difficulty in believing that the metropo lis is now afflicted with any disease which it has not had for months past, and in reconciling what we know of the nature of such disease, with the accounts of that malignant scourge which has depopulated whole towns and districts in other parts of the earth. The more we see of the state of medical knowledge, the fuller it appears to be of uncer tainty, contradiction, and confusion. The Fa culty was nearly equally divided some years since upon the question whether the plague was contagious, and there is at least suf ficient difference of opinion in the pro fession at present in regard to the cho lera, to have recommended very grave cau tion before proclaiming its actual existence in London. The effect upon trade by withhold ing clean bills of health will be most disastrous, which the Government could not but have fore seen. That the Government acted with the ut most good faith towards foreign nations cannot be disputed, and in adopting the reports of the physicians, it is impossible to say the Govern ment is chargeable with having prematurely of itself decided the question. But, we do say, that if the physicians shall turn out to be mis taken as to the identity of the disease, they will have done a more serious injury to the national industry, and consequently to the national re sources, than the cholera itself has perhaps eve r done in any country since its arrival in Europe. It is said that if it be not the Indian cholera which is amongst us, it is a modification of it. This is probably true ; but, upon the degree of that modification, depends the whole question ofthe measures and preparations proper to be adopted. For what we know to the contrary, the influenza, prevalent last summer, may have been a modifica tion of the typhus fever or the plague, but no one was alarmed about it, because its effects were not practically serious. The cholera in the north has not been a disorder fit to excite public ter ror, either in its spread, or its malignity. It is not, as it exists in London, a disease calculated to excite reasonable apprehension in foreigners who may have communication with us. Men are in the hands of Providence in re spect of pestilence as well as other calamities. But can that be deemed as a pestilence, such as his visited nations of old, which in four months has carried off but 1,400 persons ? Surely it would be more becoming, and more reasonable, for us to behave like a nation thankful for a large share of prosperity, and an abundance of blessings of which we are in the actual enjoyment, than to raise so great a cry of lamentation about the cholera, as if there were not among us other matters a hundredfold more worthy of public grief.

This day a numerous assemblage of Magistrates of this county took place at the Sessions-houSe, Clerkenwell, for the despatch of the county business. Sir JOHN GIBBON, after a few observations, in which he highly eulogised the conduct of Mr. Const during the period he had presided over them, moved that that gentleman be re quested to take the chair. Sir P. LAURIE having seconded the motion, it was carried unanimously. F. CONST, Esq. hating taken the Chair, Sir J. GIBBON informed him, that at a very numerous meeting of Magistrates two days ago it was resolved to request that he would continue to fulfil the duties of Chairman, an office he had so long and so ably filled, and in which he had given such satisfaction to his brother Magistrates, to the Bar, and to the public.--;Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said, from the increasing duties attached to his office of Chairman at Westminster and Middlesex, and from other causes, he felt that it would be a relief to him to have a successor appointed to fill one of those offices. How. ever, under the most grateful feelings for the flattering manner in which the request had been made, he would consent to re main in the situation, but with the understanding that it was not for any specified period.—(Cheers.) The minutes of the last Session were read and confirmed. The Clerk of the Peace then read the resolution of a meeting on the 21st inst., wherein it was recommended to this meeting to consider whether any, and what alteration should be made in the duties of the Chairman, his mode of appointment and his salary. Sir JOHN GIBBON moved the appointment of a Conimtttee to enquire into, and report upon the subjects stated in the re solution. Mr. KOTCH, in seconding it, said the office of Chairman of the Metropolitan Courts was one of great importance, and one which had been but little considered, arising from the security they all felt at having so able an officer to preside over them as Mr. Const.—(Applause.) He then stated the various subjects which would come before the Committee ; first, as to the divi sion of business between this Court and the Old Bailey, they only tried about 390 or 400 cases oflarceny annually, while at the Old Bailey from 1,500 to 1,600 were tried, and many of them of such a trifling nature, that the Judges had remarked that it would have been far better to have had them tried at the county ses sions. 2d. The salary of the Chairman. At present that sa lary was paid by the Treasury, at whose will it might be in creased or diminished, or even stopped altogether. To render a Judge independent the salary should be fixed, and such as, if it were necessary to have an Act of Parliament to define, should be made determined. Sir P. LAURIE, Mr. CONST, Mr. MAnatorr, and other gen tlemen, addressed the Court, aver which the Committee was appointed ; among the names were, Lord Kenyon, Mr. Byng, Sir George Hampson, Sir James Williams, Sir J ohn Sewell, Mr. Broughton, Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, Sir P. Laurie, Mr. W. Wynn, Colonel Wood, Sir J. Gibbon, &c. The Court was proceeding with the other business when our reporter left, DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. New 5 per India Stock .... 1943 4 Ditto Bonds 1 dis.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) This being the Third Seal, his Honour the VICE-CHAN. CELLOR took motions to.day, but up to the period of our Reporter leaving no case of public importance had been brought before the Court. In the course of the morning his Honour stated that he thought very little good would be done by his sit. ting to-morrow, it being appointed for her Majesty's Drawing. room, and many of the gentlemen of the Bar having to attend the House of Lords on a part heard appeal. It was therefore his intention not to sit on that day, unless the gen. tlemen of the Bar wished it. Mr. PEPYS, on behalf of the Bar, observed that many of them would necessarily be absent, and (of course little or no business would be effectually proceeded with if the Court sat. It was then arranged that the Court should not sit to-morrow, and proceed with motions on Saturday. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HEALY v. JAGGERS. This was an issue from Chancery, to try the validity of a marriage and the legitimacy of a child. The case was begun yesterday morning, occupied the Court the whole day, and was only concluded this day at half.past one o'clock. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, asststed by Mr. HtrrcHesom ; Sergeants SPAN/LIE and AN DREWS, and Mr. JUSTICE appeared for the defendant. The facts of the case, as detailed, appeared to be as fol. lows :—Mrs. Healy, previous to the year 1819, was living with a Major Frazer in the neighbourhood of Hemel Hempstead, by whom she had three children. Mr. Healy there became ac quainted with her, and offered to marry her, he being only be. tween 17 and 18, and she upwards of 26. He had several Chris. tian names, but used, and was commonly known by, the name of Henry, to which he had no right; but he liked it better than Luke, his proper one. In 1819 he published the banns between them in St. James's, Westminster, and there took the name of Henry; and it was one of the questions to be tried whether the marriage was legal or net. It further appeared that the parties did not live together at first, nor did it appear whether they ever did, but in 1822 Mr. Healy was living in London with a person of the name of Hoare, as his wife; his wife followed him to Lon. don, and lodged at 139, Holborn, while Healy lived at 249, in the same street. In the November of 1822 it was proved by Mrs. Healy's landlady, that Mr.Healy was in the habit of calling every day upon his wife, and stopping for hours with her alone. He died early in 1823, and his wife was delivered of a daughter in July of the same year, who is the plaintiff in this action, her father having left considerable pro.. perty, which is claimed by Jaggers, who was Healy's brother. in.law. For the defence a number of witnesses swore that while he lived in London, from what they knew of him, he could not possibly have been with his wife in either October or November ; and it was attempted to be proved that she had led for the three years she had been married a very loose life. This, however, failed, for the Jury, after his Lordship (Mr. Baron BAILEY) had summed up, returned a verdict for the plaintiff on both issues, thereby establishing the validity of the marriage and the legiti. macy of the child. In order to expedite the business of the Court, it had been arranged that Mr. Baron GURNEY should sit and take causes in the Equity Chamber; but after his Lordship and the Jury were in readiness, it was found out that by the Act of Parliament two Courts could not sit at the same time. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY. This morning a notice was put up at the Council Chamber. Lincoln's Inn, stating that the Court of Review would sit on Monday next at the Public Sale Room, Southampton -buildings. THE FUNDS.-('THIS DAY. CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. Letters have been received from Rio Janeiro of the 14th De cember; all was quiet there, and the exchange looking up, 27% to 28. Received by the French mail this morning:— BOLOGNA, FEB. 11.—We have received to-clay the first in. formation of the French troops coming to Italy, which has caused great consternation here. At the departure of the courier at nine o'clock in the morni ng , severa l companies of Auntie's troops had set out for Romagna, where troubles have broke out on several points. Accounts from Paris state that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has sent to Marshal Maison an order, to propose to the Court of Vienna to put on the throne of Greece the Duke of Reichstadt. They write from Brussels that six pieces of artillery have been sent to Malines, and the Lancers in garrison at that place, with the 16th regiment of the line, are to proceed to the frontiers. Serious troubles broke out at Perigueaux on the 14th inst. The people cried out, " Down with the Mayor; bread or death." Twenty-five persons were arrested, and it was expected on the following day, that a great number of persons would assemble and proceed to the prison to set at liberty the arrested. The Gazette d'Augsbourg states, by accounts from Frankfort, that disturbances had taken place at Wisbaden, owing to one of the Members of the States being arrested, and a great number of the inhabitants had assembled to release him. Wisbaden has the appearance of a town besieged, cannon were placed in various parts of the city, and the patroles were parading the streets. We have very scanty arrivals this morning, and the estafette from Paris is of minor importance. The expedition of Don Pedro will soon become an interesting subject, and on which various opinions are formed in regard to its final success. All will de. Pend on its first landing and the disposition of the inhabitants to join them, and we are well persuaded that Don Miguel and his priests are not asleep, and are exerting all their powers to give his brother a warm reception. No doubt the contest will be severe and bloody. Although the weather for these two days past has been very trying for cases of cholera, we do not hear of its making pro- gress, therefore we may conclude that the' great danger is over, and, that from the beginning of the cry out, it has only been the mountain in labour with the mouse. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 82% %, went up to 824 %, and are at present 82%. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no political information, nor any re vate ports. Pri letters from Antwerp of Tuesday last state that no yes. sels from this country will be permitted to enter Ostend. Boats are appointed to go out and take the letters and despatches into Ostend, so great is their fear of the cholera ; but we hope that this interruption of - commerce will be of short duration, when they learn the insignificance of the danger. Accounts from Brazil state that the Imperial Mines have produced in eight days 711bs. of gold. Consols have been, during most part of the morning, at 92%, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British.
