This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The•town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. P a ssengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com. pletion without a break. The harbour of llarwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tido—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames aro avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

DARING ARREST.—A warrant has been out since last September against John Fitzpatrick, of the Slate quar ries, in this county, for a felonious assault on a deaf and durab girl ; and he has ever since baffled the police, although frequently hunted through the counties of Waterford, Clare, Tipperary, and Kilkenny, his de scription constantly appearing in the flue and Cry. However, Constable Crowe, of the Sate-quarry Consta bulary Station, acting on private information as to the delinquent being at work on his father's quarry, a dis tance of about two miles from the barracks, laid an ad mirable plan for his capture, and sub.equently carried it out with success on Friday last. The quarry is on an eminence, from which all app roaches are visible for a considerable di s t ance, so that no policeman could come near the spot unobserved by one on the look out, and therefore Fitzpatrick considered himself safe, as he fre quently boasted of defying the whole police force to catch him when once at arm's length from them. The con stable sent two men in plain clothes by a circuitous route to place themselves at a given point on the Tipperary side of the quarry, and two more, similarly attired, by another devious path, to place themselves also at a specified place at the Kilkenny side of the quarry ; while he himself with two men in uniform folly armed, pro ceeded from the barracks direct. The moment the latter party came in view an alarm was given by a woman, posted for the purpose, on which Fitzpatrick started off at a "liincsl a a pp . ing pae t e,; e fr c ont o u n t t h y e omidstof Tipperary, about erar y pursued 100 of toward s police from the three point., th ose a t th e Ti p p e rary side being close to him; but he soon left all hi b s y comrades, theroe racet le, for run o behind except Sub-Constableiraßeluyrklae,yof aboutbebtowtehentag wki miles tw h n om tb a e n i d th e outlaw the r fence in sporting " After a time Burke was man, closing on his escape by leaping into a river desperate effort toa jaded fox, made one across a "stiff country. with a view to cross s water, until tho constable an iron grasp, hip deep who,t however, Burke also unhesi tatingly sprang in, seized in and his party came up, h to barracks a formid ve evident collected and ga able mob of quarrymen a n n d d h s a e n c d u c r u e d ff e , i and bj brought off the prisoner.

On the 20th (yesterday) she passed the American ship Washington and several other vessels bound nip. channel. Congress had reject"d the Dalla s-Claren don Treaty by recommitting it to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Various statements aro given as to the extent of the majority. The New York Journal of Commerce says : "The cause of its rejection is not clear, as the Senate • has only acted on it in secret session. The South, whose less conservatism is expressed in Southern matters than the North, seems in the debate, however, to have been the most conservative. Mr. Mason, of Virginia, strongly advocated the treaty as it is, and was supported by a few Southern Conservative senators, Butler, Evan-, of South Carolina, &c. But Presidential aspirants, the Northern Democrats, and the Republicans, were for the most part strongly in favour of testing the forbearance of Great Britain by an indignant rejection of the treaty." Its Washington correspondent writes : " The opposition to the Central American treaty, ne gotiated between Lord Clarendon and Mr. Dallas, is chiefly directed to one point—the large boundaries which Great Britain, or rather Lord Palmerston, has heretofore claimed for the Mosquito kingdom, and which may be claimed again under the present treaty, as the senators understand it.. These boundaries are to be settled and defined under the treaty, in such a manner as to leave the Indians, so long as they remain on the soil, a suit able home. The treaty, if carried out in good faith, would not secure to them an unreasonable extent of ter ritory. But it is objected that this matter is left indefi nite, and may become a source of difficulty hereafter. On the part of a large majority of the Senate there exists a sincere desire to settle this Central American question on reasonable terms, and such terms as will leave no ground for future dispute between the United States and the Government of Great Britain. The Senate will, probably, remodel the treaty, as they have done in other cases." The 'Washington correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer writes that the action of the Senate is not by any means fatal and conclusive, and that the Committee on Foreign Affairs will now enter into correspondence with the Secretary of State in order to agree upon modifications to be proposed to the British Government. There is no Minister of that Power at Washington, and that rendered it certain that there would be no final action upon the subject during the present session of the Senate. It states that the provision of the treaty which pro duced most excitement and opposition in the Senate was its recognition of the Wilmot proviso. The proviso is incorporated in the convention with Hon duras, which stipulates that, inasmuch as slavery does not now exist in the Bay Islands, it shall never he introduced there, but shall be perpetually pro hibited. Mr. Douglas is stated to have summed up the case against the treaty with elaborate vehe• mence, and to have denounced British interference in American affairs, and advanced ideas analogous to the most extreme pretensions of exclusivenesS set up under the Monroe doctrine, at the close of which, to prevent its immediate rejection, the treaty was referred. The New York Herald's correspondent expresses an opinion that the new Senate will confirm the treaty which will be submitted to them, and that it will then be sent to England, and in the present entente cordiale of the two nations there is very little doubt of its immediate ratification by our Government. In the House of Representatives the Senate's Submarine Telegraph Bill had been committed to the Post office Committee by a majority of 12. The Tariff Bill had been discussed :without any result. It is reported that the naval committee of the Senate have prepared a bill for authorising the construction of an armed steamer of 500 tons burden for the protection of American commerce from piratical attacks in the shallow waters, creeks, and rivers of China, and asking an appropriation of 120,000 dols. for that purpose. While the chaplain of the Senate was performing his duties on the 9th inst. an insane man ap proached his desk and bold up his hand as if sub scribing to the oath of office. Upon the conclusion of the prayer he took a seat, but was ejected by the officials notwithstanding his earnest protest against the violation of his senatorial rights. The schooner Jane T. Glover bad been seized at New York on a charge of being fitted out as a slaver. The cabinet warehouse of Mr. Bosch, at the corner of Mercer-street and Blecher-street, had been destroyed by fire, and Mr. Bosch and his wife had perished in the flames. The loss was between 60,000 dols. and 80,000 dols. In Louisville, Kentucky, property to the amount of 185,000 dols. had been destroyed by a fire. In Mobile the Planter's, Hants, the Montgomery cot ton presses had been burnt, and 10,000 to 15,000 bales of cotton consumed. The freshets consequent upon the breaking up of the ice had caused considerable damage. At Albany the damage was computed to reach 2,000,000 dole. Two families on the island opposite the city are reported to have been carried away. At St. Louis the river had risen 18 feet, and was still rising, with immense quantities of floating ice. The Missouri was open to Jefferson City ; the Illi nois all the way up, and had risen 12 or 15 feet, and was still rising. The Upper Mississippi was also rising. There bad been heavy rains generally throughout the west, and numerous slides had oc curred on the railroad. At Chicago the damage had been immense, and it was feared several lives had been lost. Several railway bridges had been carried away. Both branches of the river had risen several feet, and the south-west portions of the city were submerged. The damage to the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy railroads was estimated at 14)0,000 dols. The river was, however, falling. Six vessels which had been driven from their moorings had been found near Port Ontario, and five of them taken into port. At Newark, New Jersey, the freshet swept away before it 50 schooners, sloops, barges, and canal boats. A great deal of property was damaged in the ware houses by the water, and the loss was estimated at 50,000 dols. In one street the water was four feet deep. Dates from Havannah are to the 30th ult.

Lord Carlisle himself was the herald of the gladsome tidings that the reported dissolution of the Court was without any solid basis. Here are his ipsissinva mixt : "There is (said his Excellency) one other motive Slightly more personal to myself which causes me eagerly to appreciate the kindness with which you have received me this evening, for I perceive that there are quarters from which I, in common, indeed, with all the future Lords-Lieutenant of Ireland, have been threatened with a deposition from my present viceregal seat. I certainly have received no official intimation on that subject. (Rear, hear, and cheers.) Oar gracious Sovereign has not made me privy to any intention of depriving me of that delsgated authority which I so untvorthily wield in her name=(cries - of *so, - no)—and I — cannot' pretend to say that I read my doom in the countenances or de meanour of the Irish people—(loud cheers)—or even-:in that of this brilliant assembly ; and therefore we will only conclude that the question, in Parliamentary par lance, has been indefinitely adjourned." (Cheers and laughter.) EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE CASE. The remarkable case of "Bcatria7. — Beamish," involving the question "Can a clergyman marry himself?" was called on for judgment yesterday before 11 of the 12 judges sitting in error. Baron Pennefather was absent. Subjoined is an outline of the matter at issuo " The appeal proceedings were instituted by the de fendant to set aside the unanimous decision of the Court below (consisting of Judges Crampton, Perrin, and Moore), by which a marriage solemnised under such circumstances was held to be valid in law. It ap peared that this case came before the Court below upon a special verdict finding that the plaintiff, Albert S. Beamish, a minor, brought an ejectment upon tne title to recover certain lands in the county of Cork, of considerable value, which he &aimed to be entitled to as grandson and heir-at-law of the late Dr. John S. Beamish, of Cork. The defendant denied the legitimacy of the plaintiff, and also claimed as heir-at-law of Dr. Beamish, his father. The special verdict stated that the late Dr. John S. Beamish was in his lifetime seised of considerable estates in fee simple, and died so seised on the 16th Dec., 1852 ; that he had several sons, and that the eldest was the Rev. Samuel S. Beamish, the defendant being that rev. gentleman's next brother. The Rev. Mr. Beamish was duly ordained a clergyman of the united churches of England and Ireland, and it appeared that on the 27th Nov., 1831, being then in holy orders, he went to the house of a milliner named Anne Lyons, in the city of Cork, and there performed a ceremony of marriage be tween himself and a young woman named Isabella Frazer, the mother of the minor plaintiff. The special verdict then set out the manner in which the ceremony of mar riage took place, and alleged that the general form for the solemnisation of that ceremony prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer of the united churches of Eng land and Ireland was used, the Rev. Mr. Beamish de claring that he took the sail Isabella Frazer to be his wedded wife, and she declaring that she took him to be her wedded husband. It further appeared that a wedding ring was paced upon the finger of Isabella Frazer by the Rev. Mr. Beamish, and the usual blessing pronounced; that after the ceremony the marriage was consutumCed between the contracting parties. No clergyman was pre sent at the performance of the ceremony except the Rev. Mr. Beamish himself, nor was there, in fact, any one present as a formal witness in the room where this cere mony took place ; but, as the special verdict alleged, the performance of the ceremony was witnessed by a woman named Catherine Coffey, who, without the knowledge of the contracting parties, and solely from curiosity, saw it going on through a window from an adjoining back yard, but did not hear what was said by either party. Isabella Frazer was admittedly a member of the Church of England. It farther appeared that the Rev. Mr. Bea mish, who thus celebrated this marriage between himself and Isabella Frazer, died intestate on the Bth of April, 1844 ; and that the minor plaintiff was his eldst son, and the iimie of that marriage, born on the 4th of Jan., 1841. Upon the foregoing very peculiar state of facts, the questions raised were—let. Had there been at the ceremony in question words of present contract by which the Rev. S. S. Beamish and Isabella Frazer engaged to become husband and wife? 2d. Had there been a marriage ceremony performed according to the forms prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer ? SI. Was the mar riage so solemnised con summa t e d b e tween the parties ? 4th. What was the eff e ct o f th e marriage ceremony, there being no other clergy man p res ent ? And, lastly, rr whether, although there was no witness regularly pre sent, the facts stated in reference to Catherine Coffey constituted her a witness ? As previously stated, the Court of Queen's Bench (in the absence of the Lord Chief Justice from indisposition), after a very full argu ment of the case, held that a v a lid, although an irregu lar and clandestine, marriage had been solemnised be tween the parties upon the authority of the caso of Maxwell v. Maxwell,' and various otber cases decided both in England and Ireland. -Upon the argument in the court below it was contended, on the part of the de fendant, that no Court should uphold such a marriage, and that if marriages in the absence of witnesses were to be upheld as legal great injury to the public would arise ; while, on the part of the minor, it was argued that it would be a gross injustice to him to set aside the marriage and thereby pr onounce him ill.gitimate, and deprive him of a large p roperty to w hich he would other wise be entitled, as th e e ld est eon o f his father. "As the judges diff ere d i n opinion, they necessarily pronounced separate jud gments, Mr. Justice Keogh (the judge) commencing, as usual in such cases." Judge Keogh, Baron Greene, Judge Jackson, and J udge Ball gave judgment against the mar riage. Baron Richards, Judge Perrin, Judge Moore, and Judge Crampton were in favour of sus taining the judgment of the Court below. The Court then adjourned to this morning, when the Lord Chief Justice, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron will de liver their opinions. It is rumoured that two of their Lordships are for confirming the judgment of the Court below, and one against it. Should this be the case there will be six judges in favour of the marriage and five against it, EC, that the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench will be confirmed by a majority of ono, A BURGLAR SECT BY A CLERGYMAN, The most daring case of burglary which ever took place in Derby4hire occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock on Saturday morning last at the residence of the Rev. J. Nodder, of Marsh-green, Ashover, about eight miles from Chesterfield. The house in which the rev. gentleman resides stands by itself in .a secluded place about half a mile f rom the vil lage. Mrs. Nodder slept in a room in front of the hall, and Mr. Nodder in an apartment at the back of the building adjoining the servants' bedrooms. An infant about seven weeks old s l ep t i n a co t i n Mrs. Nodder's room, but it awoke between 1 and 2 o'clock ; while Mrs. Nodder w as a tt en di ng to it she heard a noise, which she first thought was oc casioned by her husband Stirling the fire in his e and close to the glass. room, and she took no further notice of it. In a minute afterwards she heard the n o i se aga i n, an d went-to the window of her bed room an d d rew t h e oblindof a m a a n little outside o n one side, when she saw the figure the window She was in her night dress, a n d i mmediately drew back, put on her slippers, lifted the baby out of the Nsidnodlonlgv and the centre frame cot with one hand and rushed out o f the room , shutting the door after her. and holding it in her. l this six of the lower hand. pwaoureks 1 of While efrgelas mss a in smashed, e e t dhw, and two menea window entered the room through the window by means of a ladder, which fromd dNodder held the the door until she stacliyard adjoining was overpowered, when she ru s h e d i nto a passage on the stairs and locked the door, l eav i ng th e bur tthheeyho had iis e. pr M oc r u s. er N d o bur glars fastened in the room. Th ey were prov id e d, h o wever, with a "jemmy" or small crowbar, and with this instrument they br o k e the panels o f t h e door, and unlocked it, and so got into the passage co mmunicating with the bedr ooms. Tho f i rst room they entered was that occupied b y a l a d y name d Miss Jleeley, a niece of the rev. gentleman, who was so alarmed that she lifted up the lower sash of the window and jumped into the yard, a height of 14 feet, with nothing on her but a nightgown, . and in this state ran for three-quarters of a mile into the village to the rectory-house. After escaping from her room Mrs. Nodder went into that occupied by her husband, and called , out, ',' P a p a , p a p a , here a re thieves, and they 11 murder us." She had ' locked the bedroom door 'after, her, and Mr. Nod der jumped out of bed and ar me d hi mse lf wi th a pair of large horse pistols which were loaded on the top of a cupboard, which contained the rev. gen tlemni's plate. The burglars outside called out, " Now lads ; now lads, come on, they'te here . '' Mr. Nodder, who was in the room, celled out, " If you enter here I will shoot you." The burglar 3 took no heed, but prized the door open, and one of them entered the room with a black ma,k over his face, and a black gown on his body, which c tvered his clo• hes. He bad a candle in his hind, which li? held down towards the lower part of his body. Mrs. Ncdder, who was greatly alarmed, slid to her husband, "Oh, my dear, give th , in what they went, or they'll murder us." Mr. Nodder s•epped about three yards back, said to the man, " I'll give you what you want," and fired one of the pistols at the man, and the shot entered his abdomen. The bur glary now made a Precipitate retreat, and as the man ran the shot fell from his eloi hes. They fled into a bedroom and jumped through a window, taking the glass and framework with them. They bad to alight in the yard, which was about 14 feet from the ground, and adjoining the wind. rev through which Miss Heeley had jumped a short time before. Mr. Nodder rang the alarm bell imme liately, which brought about a dozen persons to the place, and a search was immediately instituted for the wounded man, as it was believed, that he was so crippled with the shot and the leap through the window that he could not escape from the neighbourhood. Information was also given to Mr. Holmes, super intendent constable of the district, and alga to Mr. Radford, superintendent of the Cheaterfield bo rough police, both of whom made a minute investi gation of the premises. The bur.4la,r who had been shot left traces of blood in the direction in which ,he had run, and the marks of blood and pieces of flesh on the window through which they had leaped loft no doubt that either one, or both of them were severely cut. A large yar'd dog which . was turnedAdpse ilirtrigllPM:llslAo-'0M 33 4 it having been drugged. Footmarks were traced from the hall across the flower garden and in the direction which they had run by Mr. Radford, Mr. Manes, a county mtgistrate, who resides near, and Mr. Nodder himself ; and in a field about 200 yards distant Mr. Radford found a mask and a dress which had been used as a disguise, and three others were found during the morning, clearly showing that at least four persons were enga g ed in the burglary. Heeley, the lady alluded to above, lies in a precarious state. She is suffering severely from an injury to the spine and great nervous excitement. The police have obtained a clue to the burglars, which we hope will lead to their detection. A butcher who was travelling from Wirksworth to Ches terfield market, overtook a man at Kelstedge, near .Ashover, whose leg was bandaged up . and much swollen, and who lay by the road-side, just within a gate. The man, whose hands were cut, asked for a ride to Chesterfield, and he gave the driver Is. to take him. He was assisted into the cart, and gave two different-stories. of how he had become lame. First he said he had been robbed, and secondly lie mid he had been engaged in a prizefight for 501. On their arrival at Chesterfield the man was put down at the White Horse, where he bad his boots and clothes cleaned, and he was conveyed to the Chesterfield station in the omnibus, and took a ticket for Derby. From what information has been gleaned there is reason to believe that the burglars belong to a Nottingham gang. THE CARNITAL IN PARIS. The Paris correspondent of the Nord sends the following details of the late fancy ball given by the Minister of Foreign Affairs :—" Count Walewski and the Countess Walewska received their guests, the former in a black costume of the time of Louis XVI., with powder and the grand blue cordon ; and the latter in the mythological costume of Diana, the huntress. About 10 o'clock the crowd of guests began to fill the salons, and it was soon regretted that the gentlemen had somewhat too much abused the permission to appear in domino. The fete was wonderfully splendid and animated. The mazurka and the lancers were several times danced, the latter continuing to be the rage among the Parisians. A Styrian quadrille was also danced, in which Mademoiselles de Leventhal and Wadicka and the Count de Castiglione appeared in appropri ate costumes. After a splendid supper the ball con cluded, as usual, by a cotillon, which was conducted by the Count de Raincourt, who wore the uniform of musketeer of the time of Louis XV., with the Countess Waleswka as his partner. Almost all the ladies of tho Court had adopted the powdered and ribanded style of Madame do Pompadour. Several ladies among, whom were Mesdames .S trozzi, de Hatzfeld, de Beyens, de Pairs, kc., had adopted a domino trimmed with lace and flowers, and so ar ranged as to allow them to dance. The persons belonging to the• Ministry, MU. de' Lesseps, de Billing, Declercq, Marchand, D. sceaux, Ed. Lefe byre. Armand, and do Trevise were remarked far ' the good taste and elegance of their costumes. The members of the Persian embassy appeared in the ancient Persian costume. Some young at taches of Hesse, Bavaria, and Belgium adopted the costumes of the staff of Prince Eugene, Count Karoly representing that personage. The Princess Mathilde figured as a marquise of the time of Louis XV., and wore a dress of blue damask ; the Pius cess Joachim Murat was also a marquise of the same reign, and wore a dress of white damask, with roses and diamonds ; Madame de la Poise, one of the ladies of the Empress, Madame de Mass iron, and the Princess Poniatowska, and about 30 other ladies, wore likewise the costumes of mar quises of the time of Louis XV. The Spanish Am bassadress, the Countess de Serrano, wore the cos tume of Isabel de Valois—a very high dress with a large cross on the breast. The Counts de Cas tiglione (who was one of the few who had the courage to abandon crinoline) wore a very original costume of exquisite taste—appearing as the Queen of Hearts, crowned with a heart, her hair falling down on her shoulders, a dress with large folds falling straight, ornamented with various colours, and with heraldic bearings on one side. Mdlle. Mag nan, daughter of the Marshal, wore a hunting cos tume of the time of Louis XV. Madame de Seebach wore the costume of the wife of a Boyard of the time of Peter the Great—a dress of cloth of gold, trimmed with furs, and a profusion of diamonds. The Princess Callimaki was in the costume of Maria de Medicis, and had the hardi hood to wear a frill of enormous dimensions. The Prince's Czartoriska, who arrived from Rome three days before, had a charming costume of a bourgeoise of the time of Louis XVI., with a large bonnet ala Necker. Madame Dubois l'Estane. looked charming as a grisette of the time of Louis XV. Madame Poujade, niece of the Prince Caimacan of Wallachia, was dressed as a peasant girl of the Danube ; the Marquise de Portes was as a n ttive of Cracow ; the two daughters of Baron de Hub ner were as village brides of the Opera Comique ; Madame Fleury, widow of the General, wore the cos tume of a Lady of the Court of Louis XVI., a silk dress of large designs, gigantic hoop, and a head dress of several ranges surmounted with feathers. The Countess Stephanie Tascher de la Pagerieevore the costume of a marquise of Louis XV. ; Madame Gensano looked well as a Neapolitan peasant ; and Madame de Brigode was superb in the costume of a Bohemian lady. The two Princes of Reuss wore the Croatian peasant costume, with Hungarian boots and pantaloons ; MM. de Grote and Albe dinski had adopted the costume of wealthy Russian peasants, very exact, very rich, and very much ad mired; MM. de Chassiron and do Bersolles had the costume of the time of Henri 111. ; M. de Beyens, that of a soldier of Louis XIII. ; M. Olympe Aguado, a very rich Eastern costume ; M. Gustave de Rothschild appeared as a Greek, and the rich ness of his arms, which were ornamented with pre cious stones, excited general admiration." CUSTOMS' DUTIES. --4 C The Board of Trade have issued an account of the Customs duties received during the past year as com pared with the two preceding years. The subjoined table shows the total, distinguishing the amounts ob tained from the 13 principal articles. In every case an increase is exhibited. It is to be noticed that the sum raised from all articles beyond the 13 specified is only 544,9401., and the public will be surprised to learn that according to a return lately obtained by Mr. Ewart there are still 139 descriptions of goods held liable to duty which severally yield to the revenue a less amount than 10,0001. Out of these 139 there are 31 which do not bring in so much as 201. each. From the figures for 1855 it appears that ammunition, essence of sprace, manna ezoup, and perfumed powder contri buted 11. each to the national Exchequer :- 1854. 1855. 1856.

In every respect it was most satisfactory, the fields were large, the sport interesting, and the arrangements unexceptionable. Right plevant, too, was the meeting and recognition of old friends whom the winter interregnum had separated. In the weighing room or in the ring there was a general nodding of heads and shaking of hands, so cordial and hearty that they give an additional zest to the enjoyment of the port: Tfie town was crowded. The Great Northern Hotel havieg a full complement of aristocratic visitors, and the increased demand for beds, caused racing men —legitimate prey, in the opinion of hotel and tavern keepers—to be mulcted in exorbitant sums for board and lodging. Four races • per day were decided, bringing out in the aggregate sixty-nine run ners. A pretty good stet t for the season that ! Mr. T. Pair • wag attended with his old luck, for he won the opening event with Apathy, an animal whose bright, coal, star-like eye, and well-developed muscle contrasted strangely with the ragged appearance pre sented by the majority of the animals that ran at Lin coln. Flatman, who had not figured at Lincoln for many years, rode the winner, and right glad was I to see so c!ever a jockey commence the season successfully. Fordham, who has grown and "thickened" much during the winter was on Paula Monti, and he will soon lose the distinction of being classed amongst the "light weights." The Two Years 011 race brought out a clipping filly in Greenwich Fair, whose wondrous turn of speed is likely to place many a stake to the credit side of her owners' account at Messrs. Weatherby's. The Steeplechase was " square' enough, and the partisans of Tohernaya and Janus were equally sanguine. T.thernayar who had a slight " call" when the ring broke up, won easily enough, thanks perhaps to Janus's tumble. Early Bird is certainly an unlucky beast. Had be got off on fair terms, or had the horses another twenty yards to go for the Handicap he would have won, huh his party had the mortification to experience a disap pointment caused by an accident. These things, how ever, give a fillip to speculation, and constitute the glorious uncertainty of the Turf. Huntington, who we; purchased by Mr. Mellish, for 100 guineas, at New market Houghton meeting last year, was the winner, and paid his new owner for his winter's keep with interest. Weathercock tried . to concede 191bs. to Nicholas, and failed. He tired so perceptibly at the finish that they who questioned his ability to stay four miles at, Liverpool had their doubts confirmed. Still Ben Land satisfied with his horse's performance, and is aq san guine as ever about winning the " Grand National." Is it rain to aspire with such a Weathercock. _ To judge from the programme and the number of horses reported arrived a capital meeting is likely to be celebrated at Nottingham, where the lads of the village will congregate in large numbers. Really Mr. Brad field is a most enterprising clerk of the course, and de serves to be supported. Although Early Bird would prefer the coarse half a mile shorter, yet his running at Lincoln induces me to believe that he will compensate his supporters for their disappointment In that locality by winning the Spring Handicap, Tom Thumb and Sister to Elfrida may be his most formidable opponents. Despite her " 51b extra " Greenwich Fair will lead her opponents a merry danc for the Little John Stakes. On the Hurdle Race I shall not express an opinion, and the result of the Forest Plate will depend upon the running on the first day. February 23. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT NOTTINGHAM.

At Lambeth Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Inspector Young applied to the sitting magistrate, the Hon. G. C. Norton, for summonses for the attendance of the 'wit nesses at the final examination of Bacon and his wife on the charge orwilful murder. Mr. Younge said the whole of the witnesses in the case number no less than 29. Since the examination of the prisoners and the finding of a coroner's jury in Rutland of a verdict of wilful mur der against Thomas Fuller Bacon, for the poisoning of his mother, Mr. Mitchel, the chief constable for that county, called at Lambeth Police-court with a warrant, signed by Mr. Hough, the coroner, for the removal of Bacon to the county gaol at Oakbam4 Bacon being, however, in the custody of the governor of Horsemonger • lane gaol, under re-cxaminatiou on the charge of having killed his two children, all that Mr. Mitchell could do sal to leave the warrant with Mr. Keene as a de tainer. For this parnose he proceeded to the prison, ac companied by Mr. Younn and when taken into the gaol yard where Bann was confined, he at once recognise I him. The prisoner seemed somewhat alarmed at the presence of Mr. Mitchell, whom he at once recognised, and when told the purport of his visit, he replied, " I am innocent of the charge, and the truth will come out some day." It is understood that Mr. Elliott will on the next examination commit the prisoners for trial at the Central Criminal Court during the session commencing the 2d of March. The interval will probably be found insuffi cient to get up the prosecution, and an application will be made for the postponemeot of the trial to the next session, in April. In the meantime the Court of Queen's Bench will be applied to for the removal of the coroner's inquisition from the county of Rutland, under whit 'is known as " Palmer's Act," so that Bacon may take his trial at the Central Criminal Court on both charges. The same step will be taken respecting any indictment that it may be found expedient to prefer be fore the grand jury at the next Lincolnshire assizes respecting the death of Mrs. Bacon. gives the following account . o TAN latissLos IN Cm:3/%3r a.; for the purpose of opening slang in the Great throughTchetchn —The3x;ei t a i ounectlfe of fe Tiflisns the forest of Maiour with the ,hatchet a passage toupe, territory of the Tchetohenes : to the conquest of the te n r andwlii.lh is considered one of the greatest obstacles v d i v n ij es en a sk nd ii, pre cipices, which separa te b the wooded mountains of Katch " This forest, bordered on the opposite side . on f o r n o e m si F de ort bv V r o a z positiongreat by its topographical advantages presentedkalyk, which divide it from the table land of Eonmyk, for an o bstinate defence.

Under the title of Help Thyself, and God tuia Help Thee, an address has been issued by M. Louis Blanc. The following are the leading pas sages : , This is my first answer to all such as, from various r qnarters, put to me the question, " What is to be done at the forthcoming elections in France?" The French people having been reduced by Louis Bonaparte himself to the unhappy choice of being trampled upon or having recourse against violence to force, who can deny that its case is one of natural Bel defence I If, therefore, insurrection were at present likely to succeed, I would not hesitate to cry out, " Up, up, and at them I" _ However, we do not shut our eyes to the extraordinary difficulties of the situation • we know that dis arme d Paris lies surrounded with bayonets ; that a lynx-eyed police lurks everywhere ; that to the gagging of the press is added the suspension' of every free intercourse ; that the nation, buried in a suffocating atmosphere, is scarcely permitted to breathe ; and that it is no easy matter to attempt any general movement were twenty persons cannot meet with impunity. Well, this is the very reason wily any legitimate mode of action must be resorted to, which still remains open. The policy of abstention, advocated by some of our friends, is a fatal one. It could but serve to dishearten the good, to countenance the wicked, to supply the sceptical with a mask, to betray the courageous, and to shield the cowardly. The problem will not work itself out. In any collection of men, as well as in any single man, atrophy is the unavoidable consequence of want of exercise. If nothing be done, rest assured that, before long, the vitality of France will dwindle into torpor, and from torpor into death. Besides, would not inertness be mistaken for assent Or could the sympathies of con stitutional Europe be enlisted in favour of France, were France herself unconcerned about her own fate ? Next comes the question, what shall the Republican or Liberal candidates do, it elected ? Shall they take the oatb of allegiance to the empire ? Shall they consent to be ranked amongst the mute servants of the Court in the lobby termed the Legislative Chamber ? Not for a mo ment can such things be thought of. To vow alle giance to the empire in earnest would be both criminal and suicidal. To take the oath as null and void would be dishonest. It was by breaking his word and scan dalously insulting public faith that Louis Bonaparte got the mastery. Why, the nature of the proceeding was perfectly consonant with the nature of the aim ! It is not for us to crawl in the dark. Justice and liberty demand to be served in a manner worthy of them : it is not for us to endeavour to magnify lying in triumph. Rather submit to force in silent dignity than lower one self to a level with a perjurer, and for'eit the right of de. nounciog him at the tribunal of all honest men. Oa the other hand, to elect candidates without intend. ing them to sit in the Chamber might appear childish, and would be of little or no avail, unless a course be adopted of a nature to create, not a superficial agitation, but an emotion both deep and lasting. Well, I think the purpose would be accomplished if some persons in a high station mlie determined nobly to come forward on a solemn occasion, so chosen as to attract the attention of the world, and then to give utterance to the feelings of indignation that fret in the hearts. For so doing no better opportunity could be imagined than the ceremony of taking the oath, a formality with which the Republi cans and Liberals should refuse to comply, after stren uously stating their motives, and that, with the un daunted resolution to insist, if interrupted, and to resist, if threatened, till the y were subdued by physical force, at the risk of an immense scandal. to p r i son , In the case of Louis Napoleon's putting np with tshnoeuht an a ff ront, the hold his Government h a s over so many t sr r fi e e o d ld m tihned tried,sr pwouldor redriven eeot e tie i v r r irretrievably r i uo ft e t v oh a fe b l tp y heeo s hvelaoe be n k u en t . r y w committed trial ! Nothing could be better calculated to impress every one with the duty of the civic courage.

In the care alluded to, on the contrary, the example set on a most conspicuous occasion by persons standing, so to speak, on the top of the bill, could not fail to make a deep impression, and to elevate the tone of public life. Another and nomportant antage of the course I suggest would be s t P d ia i o n u his defeat in the face a t Bonaparte in the alternative either of acknow g w L h o o u se is wi ß li on h a e p p ar r t o e . le n t b e g person of their re re of the world, or o ntlawi i n e g e p o i rs very sovereignty of the sentatives, those fosses to derive veroyweer.t Wouldra: n ot Europe at last he dares boast of being supported ! people by w t he only true foundations of his do- Let him lay bare " bro d ug f h o t r t_ I have no doubt that Fiance will, sooner For my Par- , f or biter , redeem her honour.

She will rise again, an d. will answer to the call of those capable of loving h er above all, if they be daring. Be 80 . LOUIS BLA.NO
