From the extraordinary majority of lei House of only 332, it would appear th a t our a ob servations as to the su bservienc y of the French Cham bers to the will of their SOVEREIGN are confirmed.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,' FEBRUARY 15, 1847 the cup of the political degradation of France to overflowing, and to prove that the Legislature of that country has become essentially parasitical. Talk of the Mountainist portion of the Convention during the dictatorship of ROBESPIERRE, talk of the Conseil des Cinq Cents during the first months of the Directory, talk of the obedience of the legis lative bodies at the most potential moments of the Empire—they are barely to be counted in comparison with the excessive loyalty evinced by the majority of the present Deputies. While Europe is ringing with execrations at the fraudulent and dis courteous acts of Gallic diplomacy in reference to the Princesses of the Peninsula—while every honest heart revolts at the ignoble prevarication and quib bling practised by M. GUlZOT—while the solid foun dations of international friendship are crumbling from 1 beneath the throne of the Tuileries, solely in conse quence of the political offences of the present Admi nistration—the dutiful Deputies are reiterating their felicitations in the ears of his MAJESTY. This, too, is just simultaneous with the protestation against the effects of the Spanish marriage from the Court of Berlin, with the dignified retirement of the English Ambas sador at Paris, with the cordial approbation expressed towards Lord PALMERSTON by the British Parlia ment, and the exposure of the double duplicity of the French Minister by the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES. Could any time be more inopportune for the transmis sion of a congratulatory address to LOUIS PHILI:PE from his faithful Chambers, upon the security and the propitious aspect of his foreign relations ? The security of his foreign relations forsooth ! The very phrase is at once an anomaly and a satire. But that matters are assuming a somewhat serious complexion it would be amusing to contrast these meek and most infelicitous felicitations at Paris with the various troubles which have originated in different portions of Europe from the very occurrences rejoiced at by the French Le gislature. In Spain itself we find the Government abandoned to the discretion of an embryo and incon gruous Cabinet after having suffered every species of political vicissitude. In its sister kingdom, Portugal, we discern a civil war waging between MARIA DA GLORIA and her subjects, partly from the oppor tunity afforded by the misunderstandings between the Courts of England, France, and Spain, and partly from the principles of oppression infused into the hearts of the rulers of Lisbon through the insidious agency of DIETZ and his anointed patron. In Eng land, again, the position of affairs in regard to France has been for a considerable period ominous and un satisfactory. The indignation expressed from the bureaux in Downing-street has received the emphatic accordance of the popular representatives at West minster. Lord PALMERSTON has announced to the Marquis of NORMAN BY the " perfect confidence" reposed in his Excellency by himself and his col leagues; and in his turn Lord PALMERSTON has been greeted with the plaudits of the House of Commons. Throughout the whole of this lamentable transaction, indeed, there has been visible the same perpetual hypocrisy on the part of France, and the same un swerving honesty and rectitude on the part of Great Britain. Pelfide Albion sounds, especially at this juncture, like a masterpiece of irony upon their own country, from lips of the least patriotic Frenchmen. Whatever may be the result of the interviews which have taken place within the last few days be• tween the Prime Minister and the Count ST. AULAIRE, and subsequently between the latter and Sir ROBERT PEEL, the memory of the opposite policy pursued in London and Paris cannot very speedily decay. History will tell how the reputation of a great King, and the character of a great statesman, were lost from the lust of a Penin sular dotation, and the pandering of a heartless courtier; it will say that the hand of an Infanta was gained for a stripling Prince, but that, in gaining it, a venerable monarch was deprived of the respect of millions. But, above all, it will prove England, in her diplomatic discomfiture, to be worthy of all admiration, and France in her triumphant in trigues to be entitled only to opprobrium and abhorrence. The greatest enemies to the Established Church I have been found within its pale ; and, generally, those from whom there was the best right to expect the emanation of every improvement for its welfare, have been discovered to have chiefly retarded the progress of ecclesiastical reform. The ministers of the Church, from the prelates downwards, who have been pampered with wealth, and who, by reason of their educational acquirements, must have speedily discerned, and been fully conscious of, the existence of heavy abuses throughout the establishment of the hierarchy, and who ought to have taken the initiative in proposing remedies for enhancing the spiritual well-being of the people at large, have, for the most part—and to their shame be it said—been the last to step for ward and aid in the removal of unquestionable griev ances. This scandalous torpor has been readily attri buted by their opponents, both in the doctrine and forms of religion, to worldly-mindedness. It must be admitted that the imputation has not been made without reason. Had the appointed guardians of the Church evinced, from time to time, the like zeal for eradicating the chronic evils besetting the admi nistration of spiritual affairs, which they have always so actively manifested whenever their per sonal interests have been concerned, the grave charge of being actuated by sordid views would never have been preferred against them with any effect. Precept and example have not been in unison ; and this glaring discordance on the part of the clergy, between their ghostly counsel on the one side' and their public conduct on the other, has deplorably weakened the influences of religion. For the great and beneficial changes wrought within the Established Church during the last fifteen years, to whom and to what are we indebted ? To the ministers of the same ? Assuredly not. The rapid growth of dissent, and the great power and influence acquired by different bodies of Dissenters, engendered and cemented by virtue ofthe remarkable and favourable contrast which their respective ministers presented in their ministrations, as compared with what was afforded by non-resident and neglectful pluralists and fox-hunting parsons, was one great lever by which reform was materially advanced ; the force of public opinion, germinated by such discreditable exhibitions, constituted another. Thus, from compulsion, were the mitred order and the subordinate ranks of the clergy found reluctantly acquiescing in concessions demanded by the spirit of the age. But, notwith standing the sharp lessons which have been read to them ever since Earl GREY advised the Bishops to " set their house in order," we have occasionally painful instances of reproachful indifference to the 1 solemn duties attached to the clerical vocation. Lord STANLBY has recently ,in Parliament, brought to light an example of this nature. The Dean and Chapter of Manchester have for some time grasped nearly 6,0001. a year, leaving all the heavy and serious parochial duties to be performed by the clergy of the district, who are miserably remune rated ; and the answer they give to the accusation is, that they are no worse than their predecessors ; and that they are privileged, by ancient charters, to ab scond from their work, provided they pay a daily fine of sixteenpence! Here's morality with a vengeance ! But they have gone even further. They have dispatched two redoubtable canons to this metropolis to watch Lord STANLEY'S pro ceedings in the Upper House, thus manifesting that the Dean and Chapter of Manchester are not the men quietly to put up their swords, but are prepared to fight to the last. How ever, Lord STANLEY is not the man to be thus bearded with impunity. His Lordship has already intimated that he will move for a Select Committee to inquire whether the law is insufficient to reach these sacred truants. Should this turn out to be the case, the Legislature will not be slow to bring the rebellious to their proper senses. The importance of securing a sure and expeditious communication for our colonial dependencies with the mother-country cannot be exaggerated. We are, therefore, delighted to find that Lieutenant WAGIIORN, to whose genius, courage, and enterprise, the nation is already so much indebted, has addressed a letter to Earl GREY, calling his Lordship's attention to the plan for es t a bli shing a regular steam communication with our Australian colonies, which has now been for some time before the public. To that letter, which we republish, in extenso, we would direct the especial attention of our readers. It is a document, not only I all who h ave the y I to be read, but to be studi e d, b interest of the country at heart. We will not here repeat the (to our minds) incon trovertible arguments which have been so well put by Lieutenant Waonoßs ; but we will add that the importance of establishing a regular steam communication with Australia is vastly increased by the discovery, since the plan was ,first proposed, of the great mineral riches of those colonies—riches so vast that the time cannot be far distant when the price of metallic ores in the Australian market will produce a great effect on the metal markets of the world, and when it will be as important to our com mercial interests to obtain speedy intelligence of the state of the Australian metal market as of the state of the metal market in Cornwall. In a political point of view, also, it is more important than ever to open a speedy communication with our Australian colonies. A new constitution has just been given to New Zealand, and the success or failure of the great political experiment which is about to be tried in that colony must depend in a great measure on the close ness with which the home authorities can watch its workings. By the proposal of Lieutenant WAG HORN, New Zealand will be brought as near to Eng land as Jamaica was thirty years ago. Is it going too far to affirm, that if steam communication had been established between England and her Aus tralian colonies six years ago, we should have been saved the loss, the pain, and the humiliation which the blunders of successive Governors of New Zea land have caused us, and that the colony, in stead of being in its present miserable con dition, would have been one of the most flourish ing dependencies of the British crown ? A sum of 100,0001. per annum is all that is required by Lieut. WaolloaN from the Government to carry out his plan ; so that even in an economical point of view its immediate adoption is desirable. It will cost the nation more than 600,0001. to remedy the disasters which have occurred during the last six years in New Zealand—disasters the occurrence of which would have been prevented, had the home Govern ment possessed the means of speedy communication with the colonial authorities. We have neeived the Madrid papers of the 6th and 7th instant. The QUEEN had refused her consent to the marriage of Don EiirtiguE with the sister of the Marquis of CASTELLANE. Notwithstanding this the marriage took place, and the day after Don Erinictuz was arrested by General PEZUELA, and conducted from Madrid under a guard. A telegraphic dispatch has, according to the Constitutionnel, been received in Paris, which states that he has received orders to embark at Barcelona ; but adds, that this is not connected with his marriage, but is the consequence of some intrigues in which that Prince has been engaged in conjunction with an Englishman named MISLEY, who has been conducted to the frontiers of France. According to the Tiempo, orders have been given to organise an army on the Portuguese frontier. On the motion of Senor CORTINA, the papers relating to the Spanish marriages were ordered to be laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies. Orders have been given to prevent General FLORES from entering the Spanish territory. Senor ARETA and Senor SARTORIUS have been elected to fill the vacant Vice-Presidentships of the Chamber of Depvties. MADRID Bot.ss, FEB. 6.—The Three per Cents. 22 1 ,i money; Five per Cents. 20% money; Debt without interest 6% money. We have received the Path papers of Friday and Saturday. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Thurs day, the amendment of M. DE MALLEVILLE, which was in effect a direct vote of want of confidence in the Ministers, was negatived by 243 to 130, being a ma_ jority for Ministers of 113. On Friday the Address wa s agreed to by 248 to 84; and on the evening of that day it was presented to the KING at the Tuileries. The fol lowing is his MAJESTY'S answer:— " Messieurs les Deputi,s,—lt is with a very lively satisfac tion that I receive this address. I thank the Chamber for the loyal co-operation which it gives to my Government in the general interest, and, thanks to this co• operation, thanks to our union, and the strength it insures to us, we have every right to rely upon the maintenance of that policy, which guarantees internal order and the peace of the world. Thanks also to this co-operation, we are enabled to lessen , the sufferings which weigh upon a part of eur population, ' maintaining at the same time public order and the security ' of commercial dealings. I am much affected by the cor diality of the. congratulations which you offer me on the marriage of my son, the Duke de Dlontpensier. lam no less so by the confidence you express in the feelings with which we are animated, which are mine as well as yours, and which are also those of my sons—they will prove, as I have done, that on every occasion their lives arc devoted to France." The Chamber, ou Friday, passed a Bill, authorising foreign vessels freighted with corn and provisions to take part in the coasting trade of France, between the ports of the Atlantic and those of the Mediterranean. In alluding to the report that the Emperor of RUSSIA had closed the ports of his dominions against the export of grain, the Journal des Debats says— "A report has been current for some days that the Emperor of Russia had closed the ports of his empire against the ex portation of corn. The most recent letters from St. Peters burg do not in any way confirm this news." The dispatch of the Marquis of NORMANDY on the subject of M. Gutzo - r's speech, and the reply of Lord PALMERSTON thereto, was known in Paris on Thursday and produced a great sensation. It is said that the Marquis was to quit Paris on leave of absence on Monday. Meanwhile, according to the Siecle, the French Government is driven to its last shifts to restore the entente cordialc with England. To obtain this object it would not hesitate to sacrifice M. GUIZOT, but no one can be found willing to be his successor. "It was sub sequently suggested," says the Siecle, " to dismiss Lord PALMERSTON and M. GUIZOT, but letters from London give no encouragement to that plan. It is now sug gested to sacrifice the Count DE JARNAC and Lord Wu.- max HARVEY, but the British Government haughtily rejects such an idea. An additional incident has aggra vated the position of affairs. Marshal SOULT has de clared his intention to resign the Presidency of the Council. In fine, the prediction of M. GUIZOT is being realised. Positive intelligence has been received of the adhesion of the King of PRUSSIA to the interpretation given by the British Government to the Treaty of Utrecht. Thus the Cabinet is realising its programme, to maintain the British alliance, and to bring France into the European concert.' " On the subject of the adhesion of Prussia to the views of England with regard to the Montpensier marriage, we find the following very pertinent remarks in the COILS titutionnel:— " Prussia has positively declared against the eventual rights of the children of the Duke de Montpensier to the throne of Spain. That Power no sooner entered on a more liberal policy than it formed an alliance with England against us, and separated from France in a permanent manner on a question which can only be solved by futurity. Would any one have supposed, a year ago, that the promulgation of a constitution in the roost enlightened states of Germany would be accompanied by a rupture with France? Is not that event the most severe condemnation of the conduct of our Govern ment? Will Prussia alone adopt that course? It is probable we are told, that one of the other two great continental Powers will also declare against the eventual rights of the Duchess de Montpensier. There is one thing certain— namely, that our Government is constantly menaced by Austria, and placed in the alternative of either finding itself alone against four—that is, altogether excluded from the Councils of Europe—or obtaining by the most odious sacri fices that the menace be not executed. In this last case, Switzerland and Italy, after Poland, will be left, without pro tection and defence, at the mercy of the Absolutist Powers. Our Government must either be completely isolated, or the accomplice of some attempt against the independence of nations and liberty 1 Such is the situation in which the pre sent Ministry has placed France." But it is not Prussia alone which has joined England in her views of the nature of the treaty of Utrecht. The Union)lfonarchique (formed by the junction of the France, the Quotidienne, and the Echo de Paris, and the avowed organ of the Legitimatists) says— " The Presse announces that the Cabinet of Berlin has given a favourable answer to Lord Palmerston's note, on the succession to the crown of Spain. We believe we may assert that this answer, which cannot yet have been of f icially transmitted, will be collective; for the three Cabinets of Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin have agreed to act in concert. Our information authorises us in saying, that the answer will first call to recollection that, as the three Cabinets have net acknowledged the Government of Isabella, they did net intend to depart from the reserve they had adopted and hitherto kept; but that they saw with full satisfaction, that the English Cabinet had come to a reso lution, the object of which is to induce Spain, as to the questio❑ of succession to the crown, to return to the same position in which she stood before the last will of Ferdi. nand VII." The same paper states " that the Court of Madrid has expressed a desire that the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER should shortly return for a time into Spain ; but it is said that M. BREssoN has advised that this visit should be adjourned. The negotiations on this subject are still going on." Great activity prevails in the dockyard at Toulon, where three line-of-battle ships are fitting out besides frigates. The business in the Chamber of Deputies on Satur day was confined to the monthly organization of the bureaux. The Conservatives have the majority in the appointments of presidents.

The necessity of an alteration in the laws relating to Bankruptcy and Insolvency has been generally admitted, and there is some force in the following suggestions, which are a portion only of those submitted by a merchant here to the consideration of high legal aathorities, and of the Com missioners of the Bankruptcy Court. The writer proposes— " That if an insolvent could, with the consent of two-thirds or three-fourths of his creditors (both as regards the number of persons, and the amount of their claims, and proved to be bow; fide creditors), effect a compromise, this majority should bind the whole to accept the same. This would prevent a vindictive creditor bringing the estate to a bankruptcy, and thereby causing an unnecessary expenditure and sacrifice of the property ; such an arrangement is now applicable to insolvents not being traders. (Vide 7 and 8 "Vic. cap. 70, for facilitating arrangements between Debtors and Creditors.) —That a bankrupt be allowed from 2/. 10s. to 151. per cent., on the dividend his estate pays ; thus :—lf the dividend of hie estate be from 35, to ss. in the pound, the bankrupt to receive 2% per cent.; if from ss. to 7s. 6d., 3% per cent. ; if from 7s. 6d. to 10s., 5 per cent. ; if from 10s. ty 12s. 6d., 7% per cent.; if from 12s. 6d. to 155., 10 per cent. • if from 15s, to 17 s. 6d ., 12 % per cent. ; and if from 17s. 6d. to 20s. 15 per cent., provided he has not practised fraud, either by obtaining goods within a given time of his stopping payment, (unless he can show that at the time of taking such.credit, he had no cause for antici pating a failure within the given time,) or otherwise render ing himself amenable to the several clauses of the proposed Act, which provide against fraud. The above return to be granted, and delivered to the bankrupt, immediately after the amount of dividend has been ascertained; until which time, the bankrupt to receive a moderate allowance from the estate, if no fraud has been proved against him. It is further suggested that the court should have an ap pointed accountant for bankrupts, to be paid, like the official assignee, by a per tentage on the assets, and that any cre ditor seeking an undue preference should forfeit all claim. The value of the public securities has been enhanced to day, and matters wear a more cheerful appearance in the Stock Exchange. The price of Consols for transfer has been 90 3 / 4 to 91, and for the Account-day, the 25th, at 90% to 91. It would appear that the Bear party are making arrangements for the settlement, and that this has en in fluence, because it indicates that they are not certain of prices ruling lower than at present. The improved tone of the Paris Bourse has also had a favourable effect. Exchequer bills have been quoted 6s. to 9s. premium The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 93 3 / 4 to 92%, and the Three per Cents. 91 to 914. East India Bonds are Bs. to 13s, premium, and Long Annuities are 9;H. The foreign bonds have been rather firmer also, but there has not been much doing.

JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND. A dispatch was received at Lloyd's this morning, an nouncing that Commander Caffer, of her Majesty's steam sloop Scourge, had fallen in with the brigantine Lovely Mary, Stanton, of St. John's, Newfoundland, from Water ford, let of January, under jury masts, riding at anchor about two miles to the southward of the Dante Rocks. The Scourge brought up into the Cove of Cork. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE--MONDAY. During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Malt, Oats, and foss up to our market were on a very limited scale; those of Beans and Flour moderate. Very little Corn of any decsription reached us from Scotland, but from Ireland the receipts of Oats were considerably on the increase, though, comparatively speaking, trifling. The im ports of foreign Grain were small, but we had a fair arrival of American Flour. Fresh up this morning, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, the arrival of Wheat of horse produce was very small ; hence, as the supply of that article left over from Friday was unimportant, the show of samples was by no means adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, whose attendance was good,especially from the country. We have, therefore, to report a brisk demand for all kinds, at an advance on ast Monday's quotations of from 4s to 5s per quarter, and at which most of the parcels offering changed hands. As was the case on this day se'nnight, there were several orders received for English Wheat from the northern ports, and one or two French speculators were bid ding high for middling qualities. however, several of them were unexecuted. With Foreign Wheat we were scantily supplied. Most kinds moved off readily, at 15 to 2s per ' quarter above last Monday's prices, being the same amount of improvement as noticed on Friday. Holders generally were very firm. We had a short supply of Barley on show, owing to which, and to the maltsters being short of stock, the sale was firm, at a rise in value of from is to 2s per quarter. At the close of the market very few parcels re mained unsold. For superfine Malt there was a steady sale, at a trifle more money ; but all other kinds were a slow inquiry, at late currencies. The quan tity of Oats being somewhat on the increase, the Oat trade was rather inactive; nevertheless, all selected parcels realised full prices without difficulty. In Beans, the sale was slow ; but we have no alteration to notice in the quotations One or two cargoes of Yeas were taken for Ireland. The trade was firm, and prices were well supported. Most of the Indian Corn which arrived last week has sold at from 66s to 72s per quarter. The Flour trade was very firm, and prices had an upward tendency.

It appeattd that, on gaturday night last, a numerous body of Irish labourers entered the Castle Tavern, Holloway-road, when their conduct was so riotous and disorderly, that the landlord, Mr. Francis, refused to serve them, and several left in consequence, but the prisoners remained and insisted on being served. Finding that they would not leave, Mr. Francis tarned off the gas, when Edward Burke stooped his head, rushed at him, and butted him in the face, by which he broke his nose. He then knocked him down, and kicked him several times, and Mr. Francis's son coming to his assist ance received such severe injuries from the prisoner, as to compel him to keep his bed, and be placed under surgical treatment, and he was now unable to attend to give his evi dence. The prisoner was at length ejected, and the door shut, but they broke it in, attacked Mr. Francis again, fractured one of his fingers, bit, and otherwise injured him. Several policemen having heard cries of murder, hastened to the spot, when it required no less than ten of them to remove the prisoners to the station-house, and on the way there Ed ward Burke seized Constable 291 N, and knocked him down, and upon his getting up gave him a tremendous kick in the lower part of the abdomen. The policeman immediately ex claimed, " Oh dear, I am a murdered man !" and fell quite senseless to the ground, when he was removed to Guy's Hospital, where he lies in a very dangerous state. The female prisoner, OR her way to the station-house, threw off her bonnet and cloak and fought like a fury, spitting, scratching, and biting at every one who came within her reach. Mr. GRZENWOoD committed the prisoners to Newgate for trial at the Old Bailey, but ordering them to be again brought up on Saturday next, when, it was hoped, the con stable and Mr. Francis, jun., would be so far recovered as to enable them to attend to give their evidence. WORSHIP-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Chares Lewis Sauchey was charged with obtaining the sum of 31. Is. of William Arnold, an ex-waiter, and a pair of boots of George Arnold, brother to the latter, so long ago as July of the year 1843, under the following circum stances : _ _ _ William Arnold stated that at the above time he was a' waiter at the White Lion, Whitechapel •road. The de fendant, who stated that he was head engineer to Mr. Steven son, used the house at the time, and was in the habit of dis playing some very unique tools, which he said he used in his business. The prisoner's hands had the appearance of those more of a lady, and the small instruments he produced induced the belief that he had been accustomed to the more scientific part of engineering than what is called hard work. The prisoner subsequently, under the promise of procuring prosecutor a situation as stoker on one of the railways, obtained of the latter, in the course of four weeks, the amount of 31. ls., besides eatables and drink ables which prosecutor had himself paid for. The prosecutor was also induced by the prisoner to leave his place at the White Lion, as there was a situation ready for him at the Camden-town Station to enter upon immediately, but on going to that station he discovered that no such person as the prisoner was known upon the line, and he never after wards saw the prisoner until Saturday last, when in company with his brother, and he was given into custody. George Arnold, who said that he was a boot and shoe maker, stated that the prisoner called upon him at the above time, and represented that lie had interested himself on be half of his brother William, and he believed had succeeded in obtaining for him a situation on the railway. Witness solicited of him an order for a pair of boots. The prisoner replied, that if he gave him one be should not be enabled to pay him for them until his governor arrived in town, which would be in a week or two. Witness, however, made the boots, but never saw the prisoner until Saturday last as above described. Mr. BROUGHTON said be should bold the prisoner to bail for his re-appearance, himself in 251., and two sureties in 201. each, in order to give time for other inquiries respect ing him. Her Majesty conferred the honour of knighthood at the levee upon Sir Henry Edward Fox Young, Lieutenant- Governor of the Eastern District of the Cape of Good Hope. Sir Henry Young embarks for his destination per the Pot tinger steam-ship to-morrow morning. ERRATUM.—In our report of the conclusion of the proceedings in the House of Lords on Friday evening, an error inadvertently crept in. It was the Sugar Brewery Bill, and not the Sugar Distilleries Bill, which was introduced into the House of Lords iu the evening. The Sugar Dis tilleries Bill was not read a third time in the Commons until late in the night. GAME.—[t is generally believed by the farmers in the Isle of Wight, that one twentieth of the produce of their farms is destroyed by the game ! while their labourers cannot obtain half food enough for their families! The cottagers are in want of food and firing, having only from 9s. to 10s. per week to subsist on, everything is so dear that their miserable pittance will not hold out, there is little hope of their being able to crop their little garilens, seeds are beyond their reach, garden beans are double the price they were two months since, and to mend the matter, the Rector has put a tithe this year on their little gardens. Mr. Standish, Ml'. for Wigan, lies dangerously indisposed, and but slight hopes are entertained of his re covery. REMOVAL OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE RIGIIT HON. T. GRENVILLE TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—Saturday the concluding portion of the library of the Right lion. T. Grenville, according to his bequest was deposited in the British Museum. The time occupied in the removal was five days, the number of books being 20,300 volumes. In value, on account of their excellent condition, magnificent binding, and extreme rarity, they are estimated at 100,0001. To give only a slight idea of the value of this acquisition to the Bri tish Museum, for which a special room has been provided, a notice of one of the books will suffice. The first is the " Biblia Sacra Latini," upon vellum, the first edition of the Holy Scriptures, and the first book printed with moveable metal types by the inventors of printing. This book was printed at Mentz, by Guttenburg and Faust, between the years 1450-5, and is executed in double columns, in imitation of the choir books of the period. The cost of getting up this work was so great that Schoeffer, the son-in-law of Faust, states in " Trithemus's Chronicles" that 4,000 florins were expended before twelve sheets were finished. This Bible is known as the Mazarine Bible, on account of a copy having been discovered in the library of Cardinal Mazarine. It is so scarce that but four copies upon vellum and fourteen upon paper exist, nearly all of which are in public libraries. With regard to the value of the book, it may be stated that one upon paper, fetched, at the sale of the library of the Duke of Sussex, 1901. We regret to announce the death of Captain Dillon, whose voyages and adventures among the natives of the islands in the Pacific are familiar to every reader, and who, it will be recollected, discovered and brought to France the remnants of the Astrolabe, the sole relics of the unfortunate La Peyrouse and his companions. Captain Dillon died on Tuesday almost suddenly.— Galignani. BATTERSEA PARK.—On Saturday the surveyors were busily engaged taking the levels for the bridge to cross the Thames to the new park about to be formed in Battersea fields, from near the Chelsea Waterworks, having direct ap proaches on the Middlesex side from Sloane-street and the Commercial-road. The park will extend from the Southwark Waterworks to the Battersea Bridge-road, inclosing all the ground between the Thames and the Wandsworth-road, and a promenade and carriage drive to be formed on both sides of the river, to extend on the Middlesex shore from Vauxhall bridge to Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WANDSWORTH.—On Sa turday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the pre mises belonging to Mr. Bell, lucifer match manufacturer, in Garrett's-lane, Wandsworth, were discovered to be on fire. The flames commenced in the steam•-engine boiler house, and very speedily they penetrated the roof, and rose a consider able height, threatening destruction to the principal portion of the spacious works. With all possible expedition an engine belonging to Mr. Bell, and another from Messrs Watney, the distillers, were got to work, which prevented the fire from spreading. The brigade engines arrived from London. The fire was extinguished before term o'clock, but not until considerable damage had been done to the premises. How the fire originated could not be ascertained. CORN TO CAVALRY HORSES.—In consequence of the present extraordinary high price of oats, occasioned by the general scarcity of all descriptions of grain, an order has just been issued from the Horse Guards to the colonels of all the cavalry regiments in her Majesty's service, for a consi derable reduction to be made in the supply of corn to the troop horses. Heretofore the regulation was for each horse to have 101 b. of oats per day, generally averaging, from the excellent quality of the corn contracted to be supplied for cavalry horses, about two gallons. According to the new regulation ordered to be carried into effect by the Commander in -Chief; the quantity is to be reduced from 101 b. to 71b. per day, making a diminution in the consumption of nearly one third. In a cavalry regiment of SOO horses, under the new arrangement, the enormous saving of upwards of 50 bushels of oats will be the daily average, and nearly 18,000 bushels in the twelvemonth. DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL YOUNG.—Died at Denmark-hill, on Thursday evening, after a short illness, in the 68th year of his age, Vice-Admiral William Young, an officer better known to the mercantile marine of the country, when Captain Young, for many years in the Transport-office, Deptford, than any other officer in the navy. Vice-Admiral Young was one of the few surviving original directors of the Dreadnought Hospital Society, which, with the Marine Society, he designated his " pet children." Lord John Russell and Count Alexander Mensdorff visited Count St. Allaire last week. Sir Robert Peel called on his Excellency at the Embassy, Manchester House, on Saturday last.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.-011 Saturday police the received information of an extensiverob b robbery having been committod between twelve o'clock on Friday night and seven street, Knightsbridge. at the house of Mrs. Wallis, No. 188, Sl K n i g htsbridge. It appears that Mrs. Wallis was sitting sit ne. ting up during the night attending a sick child, which slept in the kitchen. While doing so she heard no noise in the house, but, on going up stairs after seven o'clock on Sa turday morning, she found the rooms in disorder, and on exa mination found that eight silver table-spoons, a dozen silver tea-spoons, a pair of silver sugar-tongs, a gold watch with gold chain attached, a silver watch, a pair of gold ear- rings, a mourning ring, two 20/. Bank of England notes, two 10/. ditto, and two 5/. ditto, with 1201. in gold, had been carried off by the thieves, who left behind them a bunch of picklock keys, an old pair of stookings, and a screw -d r i ver. The Duchess of Inverness had a dinner party last evening at Kensington Palace. The Earl of Auckland, Vis count Melbourne, and Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston were among the guests. SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON TILE GRAVESEND AND licieffasTng RAILWAY.—O n Thursday evening Benjamin Ballard, one of the labourers employed in this undertaking, left his barrow filled with chalk, and on resuming his labour on Friday morning proceeded towards the opening, for the purpose of shooting his load, when, it appears, from the intensity of the frost the mass had become frozen together, and adhered to the barrow, which drew him headlong down the shaft, a depth of 160 feet, by which he was killed on the spot. Deceased was a single man, about 23 years of age. The body was conveyed to the North Aylesford Union workhouse, at Strood, to await a coroner's inquest. ARREST FOR DEBT.—(IRELAND.)—The Bill just laid before Parliament " To limit arrest for debt in Ireland." provides, that arrest in all actions for debt, nut exceeding 201. and costs, shall be abolished. The illoniteur Algerien of the 30th ult., in giving. an account of the last razzia of General Cavaignac, whit h has already been mentioned, states that Abd-el-Kader him self had but a few hours before been in the same neighbour • hood committing a razzia upon a tribe which was hostile to him. Elarlingen Rotterdam — Ditto Ditto ...... ..... ...... 3 .... Ditto 50 ...... T0ta1...... 27 ....... 330 At least two-thirds of the above have passed direct into the bands of the butchers. Aboat 300 head of foreign stock have been landed at the outports from Holland. The number of foreign stock on offer to-day was small, viz. :-64 Oxen and Cows, and 220 Sheep, in fair average condition, while the sale was inactive, and prices were not supported. With home fed Beasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as respects number and quality; indeed, we have not seen a finer collection of short horns, Devons and Scots, than was exhibited this morning . . Owing to the change in the weather, and the absence of the principal country buyers, the Beef trade was exceedingly dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of quite 2d per Sibs. The extreme figure for the best Scots, and which was paid in very few instances, was 4s 4d per Bibs., and a clearance was not effected. The droves from Norfolk, Sufolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire consisted of 1,100 Short horns and Scots, from the Northern Counties, 800 Short horns—from the western and midland districts, 600 llerefords, Runts, Devons, &c., from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep, we were very scantily supplied, and the quality of that description of stock was by no means first rate. All kinds moved off slowly, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. The number of Calves was small ; yet the Veal trade was in a very sluggish state, at an abate ment in value of 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, comparatively little business was transacted, at late rates.

Although the weather during the whole of the week has been cold, the receipts of country-killed Meat to these mar kets have been by no means large, while the supplies on offer slaughtered in the metropolis have been but moderate. Generally speaking the demand has ruled firm, and, in some instances the quotations have had an upward tendency. About 40 carcases of foreign Beef and 200 ditto of Sheep have appeared on sale.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS. The imports of Potatoes in the past week have amounted to about 300 tons, in good condition. Coastwise, the receipts have been trifling, while the demand is heavy, as follows : French Whites, 1003 to I 80s ; York Regents, 200 s to 220 s ; ditto Reds, 200 s to 2205; Lincolnshire and Cam bridgeshire Regents, 150 s to 190 s; ditto Kidneys, 140 s to 160 s per ton. BOROUGH HOP MAR ET. Although ohly a moderate business is doing in any kind of Hops, the supply of which is seasonably good, no alteration can be noticed in the quotations.—Sussex pockets, 41 to 4/8s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 41 5s to 41 16s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 41 15s to 61 10s. WOOM. The imports of Wool since Monday last have amounted to about 300 bales, chiefly from Belgium and the Cape. There is a fair demand for English combing Wools, at full prices. In all other kinds exceedingly little is doing. TALLOW. On the whole the market may be called inactive, yet we can report no material alteration in prices. The recent quo tation for P.Y.C. on the spot is 50s per cwt. For forward delivery very few contracts have been entered into. Town Tallow, the supply of which is by no means large, is 50s net cash. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.: The louse sat to-day to hear appeals. The Lords pre• sent were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Somers, and Lord Wal• WILSON r. WILSON. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal, the facts of which we have already given, fully occupied their Lord ships the whole day. PRIVY `COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to day, for the purpose of hearing appeals. The Lords present were—Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord Langdale (Master of the Rolls), Sir llerbert Jenner Fuat, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with appeals from the Court of Admiralty. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with the arguments in the case of Haffenden v. Woods, which came before the Court upon ex ceptions to the Master's report. The case presented no fea ture of interest except for the parties concerned. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) His Hoxown was occupied during the morning in hearing bankrupt petitions, none of which were of any importance. The remaining proceedings were equally uninteresting. QUEEN'S BENCH. _(THIS DAY.) The sittings here terminated this morning. As many as twelve causes were set down for trial; but some were with drawn, and others could not be proceeded with in conse quence of the absence of atto rn i es an d w i tnesses. Therefore the court rose before eleven o'clock, from not having any business to proceed with. Lord DENMAN said he had taken one day from the city sittings, in order to facilitate the trying of causes at West minster, and that it was too bad the public time should be trifled with in this way. The cause "Richards v. Lord Maidstone," was amongst those withdrawn. The court will sit at Guildhall to-morrow. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Lock yer, a powerful-looking drayman, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with inflicting on his wife a wound in the side of her head, whereby her life was en dangered. Policeman F 85, about half-past three o'clock this morning, heard a cr y o f " mur d er " f r om a house in Rose street, Long-acre, where he found the prisoner and his wife in their own room, the woman having a severe cut on the side of the head, and being exhausted by loss of blood. She said that the prisoner gave her the wound with the poker. Ske was taken immediately to the Charing-cross Hospital, where she then lay. Mr. John Stegliorn, house-surgeon at the Charing Cross Hospital, described the nature of the wound. He considered that she was in danger, and could not give any positive opi nion on her case at present. The prisoner said that his wife quarrelled with him, and struck him several tunes, and he threw his shoe at her. He had not had the poker in his hand at all. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner for a week, and desired the surgeon, in case lie should find that death was approach ing, and that the woman was aware of her early dissolu tion, to send for him, and he would take her evidence in articulo inertia. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Edward and Ellett Bourhe, brother and sister, wer e c h arge d before Mr. Greenwood with the following murderous assaults, when the court was much crowded with persons r es id ent i n Holloway, owing to its being rumoured that a police-con- THE ARMY.

He never fails to take his daily walk ( if seven miles, and hence his continuance in,such robust stren gtb, for exer cise in India has always proved the best preventive to sick ness. Hie Lordship will not return to this cow itry until the expiration of his full term of service as Commas ader-in-Chief of the Forces stationed in the East Indies. The Bill relative to limited enlistment, intent led to be laid before the House of Commons, will probably pro ride that for the future those enlistments shall be confined,, for • Infantry to ten years, for the Cavalry to twelve, and for tl ie Royal Ar tillery to fourteen, with the option, if fit for OA} ter service, of enlisting for a renewed period, at the expiratilem i of the first, or of becoming enrolled for occasional duty, ti pon the same plan as the present embodied out-pensioner: %, r aceiving pension two years for one of such enrolment, : ed to their service as soldiers.

SENTENCE OF THE COURT-MARTIAL ON 7 'CAPTAIN BULL, 57TH REGIMENT. (EXTRACT FROM GARRISON ORDERS, FIB. 1 2, 1847) Field Marshal the Commander-in-Chief hay int ; had the honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the proceedings of a general court-martial, held at Chatham, eat the 10th December, 1846, and continued by adjournment,. to the 21st of the same month, for the trial of Captain Johi s James Bull, of the 57th Regiment, who was arraigned opt in. the under mentioned charge, viz. : For conduct prejudicial to good order and m; discice line in the following instances :- Ist Instance—ln having; on the 9th of Ji tly, 1846, on board the barque Mary Anne, then at anchor at ; Simon's Bay, Cipe of Good Hope, ordered Maj,;r Shadforth, rah Regiment, then being' his commanding officer, into arrest. 2d Instance—ln having, at the same tin , ia and place, without authority, assumed the command of t Jai head-quar ters of the 57th Regiment, by ordering Lieut ea ant Sweeten Grant, the acting adjutant to the corps, to place Capt. Stan ley in arrest. 3d Instance—ln having, on the 10th July, on board the barque Mary Anne, without authority, aesumedL ;the command of the head-quarters of the 57th Regiment, b,' issuing regi mental orders, and relieving himself from eluty As captain of the day for which he had been detailed. 4th Instance—ln having, on the said 1(1th of 'July, and at the same place, refused to sign a pass-0, - der for calling a meeting of the officers which had been iesueti by Major Shad forth, then being his commanding officer. sth Instance— In having, on the said 10t h e f July, after he had been detailed in regimental orders art captain of the day, left the said barque Mary Anne, althoug ii express orders had been given by Major Shadforth, then being his com manding officer, to him, Captain Bull, that no officer was to leave the said barque without his, Major S iiedlorth's, per mission. Upon which charge the Court came to tills following de. cision : The Court having maturely weighed and Considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in hio defence, is of opinion that he, Captain John James Bull, of the 57th Regiment, is guilty of the charge upon which he is arraigned in each of the five instances. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of the charge preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, do sentence him, Captain Jo his James Bull, of the 57th Regiment to be cashiered. The Court having, by its finding and sentence, pro nounced the strongest condemnation of the conduct of the prisoner, Captain John James Bull, crtnnot but remark upon the total want of judgment and energy evinced by the prosecutor, Major Shadforth, under grave and trying circumstances that called for that degree of firm ness and decision which alone could check and suppress such an outrageous violation of military discipline as oc curred on board the Mary Anne on the night of the 9th July, 1846. The Court having passed sentence upon Captain Bull, the prisoner, commensurate with the serious offences of which he has been found guilty, begs to recommend hie case to the favourable consideration of her Most Gracious Majesty, on account of the high character he has re ceived from his colonel and the officers with whom he has served. Her Majesty was pleased to approve and isonfirm the find ing and sentence of the Court ; in consideration, however, of the recommendation of the Court, and the ground of that recommendation, her Majesty was further pleased to extend her most gracious clemency to the prisioner, and to command that he be restored to the functions of his commission,. and removed to another regiment of the line, and seriously aara° - nished as to his future conduct.

HEALTH OF TIIE QUEEN OF PRUSSIA --We are happy to see by the last bulletin of the health of her Ma jesty the Queen of I'russia, published at Berlin on the Bth of this month, that she continues to improve. The cough has become less irritating, and the fever is moderated. STOCKINGS FOR THE ROYAL INFANTS.—The Clare Journal says—" We feel great pleasure in recording an instance of her Majesty's wish to encourage by her pir tronage the native manufactures of Ireland. Two girls, sis ters, of the name of Davies, living in Corofin, in this county, having long enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for the taste and skill evinced by them in the knitting of stockings, were advised to present a pair of them to her Majesty, who was so pleased with the beauty of design and execution dis played in them, as to order four and twenty pair for the royal infants." A GOOD EXAMPLE.—The Constituticrnnel publishes the following letter, dated Berlin, 31st ult. :—"A few days since M. Braconier, a stock-broker, was condemned to hard labour for nine years for having gambled with the property of his clients and having ruined himself. N. Braconier 13 a member of one of the most wealthy families in the capital, and every effort was made by offering to pay his debts to save him from disgrace, but it was too late. It is hoped that his fate will have the effect of preventing other speculators from risking property confided to their care." NOVEL SPECIES OF BALLOON.—A balloon con structed on a principle by which the longest aeriel voyages can be performed, and by which all danger is avoided by the expansion of gas, and all waste of gas prevented, may now be seen in the Montpellier-gardens, at Camberwell, by per sons connected with scientific inventions and pursuits. 'The invention is that of a Mr. Gale, a gentleman of some repu tation in science, and well known on the continent as an aeronaut, and as a pupil of the celebrated Arnaud Robert. The improvements on the old lumbering machines, which have hitherto done little beyond collecting an idle, gaping mob at tea-gardens, and by the ascent of which science has received no information whatever, consist in elastic tubes, pipes, or what is called hose, by which all the gas which escapes from the lower part of the machine is received and conveyed into large bags or receivers attached to the middle of the balloon, so that let the expansion of the gas be what it will from heat, or other causes, the gas CAR be let off and preserved, and no danger of bursting incurred. The car is also differently constructed from the old method and the aeronaut can without trouble lower beneath the car another car, to any distance he may please, in which scientific experiments can be carried on, or fire made use of, without danger to the balloon. The cars are very lien, being made of prepared cork and Indian rubber. This balloon is nearly as large as the great Nassau balloon, and is made of silk ma nufactured by Messrs. Merciers and Vanner, of Spitalfields. The designs for the external painting are very good: they are by Mr. D. Roberts. The whole apparatus, grapnells, &C., are improvements on the heavy and clumsy things hitherto used for aerial voyages. TIIUNDER STORM AT LINDAL.—On Tuesday night last this neighbourhood was visited by a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning, which continued without intermission the greater part the night. About nine o'clock the storm broke over this neighbourhood with extreme violence, vivid flashes of lightning succeeding each other in quick succession, and illuminating the sky in all directions,_ were succeeded by heavy pe a l s o f thunder. A slight fall of snow accompanied this extraordinary and unseasonable tem pest. The roaring of the wind during the storm was almost equal to the thunder it, elf, whieh aroused the peaceable denizens of Lindal from their quiet slumbers, in no small tro- Westtner/and Gazette. 4 THE We sul in cfficial - the new ' - lutes alto 1.
