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 tho' continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Duteh-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the lino from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Illarwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tidc-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 are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to ll 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 termer 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 dunib girl ; and he has ever since baffidd the police, although frequently hunted through the counties of Waterford, Clare, Tipperary, and Kilkenny, bis de scription constantly appearing in the Rue and Cry. However, C onsta b le Crowe, of the Slate-quarry Conte bulary Station, acting on private information as to the delinquent b e i ng at work on his father's quarry, a die tance of about two miles from the barracks, laid an ad mirable plan for his capture, and subsequently carried it out with success on Friday last. The quarry is on an eminence, from which all approaches are visible for a considerable distance, so that no policeman could come near the spot unobserved - by one, on the look out, and therefore Fitzpatriok 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 cavi -1 stable sent two men in plain clothes by a circuitous route to place themselves at a given point OR the Tipperary side of the quarry, and two more, similarly attired, by another devious path, to place thems e l ves a r e at a spec ified place at the Kilkenny shit, of the quarry ; while he himself with two wren in uniform fully armed, pro ceeded from the barracks direct.

The Lincoln meeting seems likely to prosper under khe new management. In every respect it was most satisfactory, the fields were large, the sport interesting, and the arrangements unexceptionable. Right pleasant, too, was tho 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 zast to the enjoyment of tho sport. The town was crowded. The Great Northern Hotel having a full complement of aristocratic visitors, and the increased demand for beds, caused racing men —legitimate pray, in the opinion of ,hotel and tavern keepers—to be mulcted in tiorb;tant sums for board and lodging. Four races per day were decided, bringing out in the aggregate sixty-nine run ners. A pretty good start for the season that ! Mr. T. Paz: was attended with -his old luck, for he won the opening event with . Apathy, an animal who: e 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 colr, Flatman, who had not ,figured at Liecoln for many years, rode the winner r and right glad was I to see so.clever a joaliey"?omMeniie the season successfully. Fordtatn, who has grown and "thickened" mach during -the !sinter list oa. Paula Moat', acid he will Ilona lausilkli:2 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 Tchernaya and Janus were equally sanguine. Tehernaya, 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, bu l 3 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 wal 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 as ma guilie as ever about winning the " Grand National." Is it vain 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 come 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 dance 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.

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. ]Swart there aro still 139 descriptions of goods held liable to duty which severally yield to the revenue a loss amount than 10,000/‘ Out of these 139 there are 31 which do not bring in so much as 201. each.

Mr. Younge Faid the whole of the witnesses in the case number •no less than 29. Since the e xamination - of the prisoners and the ending 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, cal)ed at Litgabeth Police-court with a warrant , signed by Mr. Rou', the coroner, for the removal of Bacon to the county gall at Oakhano. Bacon being, however, in the custody of the governor of Horsemonger• lane gaol, under re-Examination on the charge of having killed his two children, all that Mr. Mitchell could do was to leave the warrant with Mr: Keene as a de tainer. For this purpose he proceeded to the prison, ac companied by Mr. Young, and when taken into the gaol yard where Bacon was confined, he at once recognise' 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 ed i c n xar n ii of the ticoin:u curoutaid e d h emur a eri r tti g not e goh , det a h n tpeh d the minal rai session so truth sns (rr).nsfor E l li o ttwill tricommencing al at t will o e hn l ett l Chi t eee some 2nndterxt oarl March. The interval will probably .be found insuffi cient to get up the prosecution, and an application will be made for the postponemoot 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 what is known as " Pulmer's Act," so that Bacon may take bio 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 before the grand jury at the next Lincolnshire assiz respecting tho death I of Mrs. Bacon.

AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 21. The Royal mail steamship Arabia, Stone com mander, has arrived from Boston and Halifax, with dates from the former port to the 11th ; New York, the 9th ; and by telegraph, via Halifax, to the 11th inst. The Arabia brings 90 pavengers and 200,779 dollars in specie on freight. On the 20th (yesterday) she passed the American sbip WaAtington and several other vessels bound up channel. Congress had rejected the Dolls s-Claren don Treaty by recommitting it to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Various statements are given as to the ext"nt 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 Cunservative 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 be 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, tho treaty was referred. The New York Herald's correspondent expresses an opinion that the new Senate will confirm the treaty which vrill.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 au 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 in.ane man ap proached his desk and held 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 had 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 dols. 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 had been heavy rains generally throughout the west, and numerous slides had oc curre4 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 100,000 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, stoops, 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 dole.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY, MORNING. , . THE . IRISH VICEROYALTY. The worshippers of an Irish Court wore cast down-last week into the very depths of despair by the prevalence of a rumour t o the effect 'that the abolition Of the Viceroy co alty w as likely ere long to form the subj ec t of Cabinet n t em plation. Happily for the alarmed ; the occasion ot the Lord Mayor's inaugural banquet famished an .opportunity of dis persing the cloud which-lowered over the viceregal horizon, and Cork-hill and the Castle again look bright and cheerful.- 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 ipaissinta "verba : "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 coinruou, indeed, with all the future Lords-Lleateaant of fret:ind, have been threatened with a deposition from my present viceregal seat. I certainly have received no official intimation on that subject (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Our gracious Sovereign has not made ins privy to any intention of depriving me of that delegated authority which I so unworthily wield in her name—(cries of .No, 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 "Beawish v. Beam'sb," involving the question "Can a clergyman marry himself?" was called on fur judgment yesterday before 11 of the 12 judges sit ing in error. Baron Pennefather was absent. Subjoined is an outline of the matter at issue:— ' " 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 rep , 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, the title to recover certain lands in the county of Cork, of considerable value, which he &aimed to be entitled to as grandson and heir-it-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. Beamisb, 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. Beamisb, the defendant being that. rev. gentlemau's next brother. The Rev. Mr. Beamish was duly ordained a clergyman of the united ()hutches 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 f 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 st it Isabella Frazer to be hii wedded wife, and she declaring that she took him to be her wedded husband. It further appeared that a wedding ring was Waled upon the finger of Isabella Frazer by the Rev. Mr. Beamisb, and the usual blessing pronounced; that after the ceremony the marriage was coesumts, wed between the contracting partied. No clergyman was pre sent at the performance of the ceremony except the Rev. Mr. Beamish himself, nor was there, is 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 t he ceremony was witnessed by a woman named Catherine Coffey, who, without the knowledge of tho 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 further appeared that the Rev. Mr. Bea mish, who thus celebrated this marriage between himself and Isabella Frazer, died intestate on the S' Is of April, 1844 ; and that the minor p!aintiff was bid eldst 801), and the issue of that marriage, born on the 4th of Jan., 1841. Upon the foregoing very pecul;ar state of facts, the questii;ns" raised were---11t. Had there been at the ceremony in queition 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 ? 33. Was the mar riage so solemnised consumm a t e d between the parties 4th. What was the effect of the marriage ceremony, there being no other clergymaa present / And, lastly, whether, although there was no witness regularly pre sent, the facts stated in reference to• Catherine Coffey constituted her a witness I 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 valid, although an irregu lar and clandestine, marriage had been solemnised be tween the parties upon the authority of the case of Maxwell v. Maxwell,' and various other cases decided both in England and Ireland. Upon the argument in the court below it was contended, o n the part of the de fendant, that no Cotrt should uphold such a marriage , and that if marriages in the absence of witnesses were to be upheld as legal great injury to the publio would arise while, on the part of the minor, it was argued that it would be a kross injustice to him to set aside the marriage and thereby pronounce him illegitimate, and deprive him of a large property' t o which he would other wise be entitled, as th e e ld est son o f hid father. "As the judges diff ere d i n op i n ion, they necessarily pronounced separate judgments, Air. Justice Keogh (the judge) commencing, as usua l i n suc h cases." Judge Keogh, Baron Greene, Judge Jackson, and Judge" Ball gave judgment agaitst the mar riage. Baron Richards, Judge Perrin, Judge Moore, and Judge Campton 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, so that the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench will be confirmed by a majority of ono. , , I tl9aaan's plate. • The burglars outside called out, "Now lads ; now l a I s , coma ' on, they're here." Mr. Nodder, who was in the iBoui, clllbd out, " If you enter here I will shoot you." ' Tlie:-biirglars took no heed, but prized. the door open, and one of them entered the room .with a:blaCk nia-k over his face, and 'a black gown'on his body; which covered his clothes. He bad a candle in his bend, which he held down towards the lower part of his l'ody. Mrs. .Nodder, who was greatly alarined, said to her husband, "Ob, my dear, give tlim what they want, or they'll murder ns.".• Mr. Nodder s'epped about three yards back, said to the man, "I'll give you whit you want," and fired one of the pi s t o l s a t th e man, and the shot entered his abdomen. The bur glare now made a precipitate retreat, and as the man ran the shot fell from his clothes.. They .fled into a bedrooM and jumped through a window, taking the glass and framework with them. They had to alight in the yard, which was about 14 feet from the.ground, and adjoininithe window through Which Miss Seeley had jumped a short time before. Mr. Nodder rang the alarm bell immediately, which brought about a dozen persons tithe 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 also to Mr. Radford, superintendent of the Chesterfield bo-' rough police, both of whom made a minute investi gation of the premises. The burglar 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 left no dOubt that either one Or both of them were severely cut. A large yard dog which was turned loos& at night made no' alarm, 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. Milnes ' a county magistrate, who resides near, and Mr. Nodder himself ;. and iu 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 engaged in the burglary. Miss 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. Abutcher who was travelling from Wirksworth to Ches terfield market, overtook a man at lielstedge, near Ashover, whose leg was bandaged up and much swollen, and who lay by the roadside,just within a gate. The man, whose hands were cur,. asked for a ride to Chesterfield t and he gave the driver Is. to take him. He was assisted into the cart, and gave two different stories of how be had become lame. First he said he had been robbed, and secondly he said he bad been engaged in a prizefight for 50/.. Oa their arrival at Chesterfield the man was put • down at the White Horse, where he bad h's 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 CARNIVAL IN PARIS. The Paris correspondent of the Nord sends the following details of the late fancy ball given by the Minister of Foreigu,Affitirs :—" 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 ware 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 cotlllon, 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 the Court had adopted tho powdered and ribanded style of Madame do Pompadour. Seve; al ladies, among whom were Mesdames S!rozzi, de Hatzfeld, de Beyens, de Paiva, Arc., 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, MR. de Lesseps, de Billing, Declercq, Marchand, D sceaux, El. Lefe bvre, Armand, and do TreVise were remarked for the good taste and elegance of their coshrnes. The members of the • Persian embas'y 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 Prin 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 Chass iron, and the Princess Poniatowska, and about 30 other ladies, wore likewise the costumes of mar- Anises of the time of Louis XV. The Spanish Am bassadress, the Countess de Serrano, wore the c‘-s -tume of Isabel de Valois—a very high dress with a large cross on the- breast. The Countess 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 ware 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 dla Necker.

A BURGLAR SliOT BY A CLERGYMAN, - - The most daring case of burglary which ever took place in Derbyshire occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock on Saturday morninc , last at the residence of the Rev. J.

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 slept in a cot in Mrs. Nodder's room, but it awoke between 1 and 2 o'clock ; while Mrs. Nodder was attending to it d sh . stirri ng efirst the fire in his thought was r she o oc casionedomh,eaaruddbasyhneohit:orOelikwurisilobicalfilturther notice of it.

While she was doing this six of the lower panes of glass in the window and the centre frame work were smashed, and two men entered the room through the window by means of a ladder, w hich they had procured from the st ae ly ar d adjoining the house. Mrs. Ncdder held the door until• she was overpowered, when she rushed into a passage on the stairs and locked the door, leaving the bur glars fastened in the room. Th ey were prov ided, h o wever, with a " jemmy" or small crowbar, and with this instrument they broke the panels of, the door, and unlocked it, and so' got into the passaga communicating with the bedrooms. The first room they entered was that occupied by a lady named Miss Heeley, 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 fiet, 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, "Papa, p a pa, here are thieves, and they'll mu r d er us.

Louis Blanc. The following are the leading pas s ago§ : fThis is my first answer to all such as, from various quarters, 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 self defence F If, therefore, insurrection w ere a t present likely to succeed, I would not hesitate to cry out, " Up, up, and at them 1" However, we do not shut our eyes to the extraordinary difficulties of the situation ; we know that di sarme d Paris lies surrounded with -b ayonets ; 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 why 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 exerc'se. If nothing be done, rest assured that, before long, the vitality of France wi'l 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, if elected ! Shall they take the oath of allegiance to the empire ? Shall they consent to be ranked amongst the mute servants of the Court in the lobby term:A the Legislative Cbamber ? 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 diahonest. It was by breaking his word and scan. dalonsly insulting public faith that Louis Bonaparte got the mastery. Wuy, 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 wilh a perjurer, and forieit the right of de nounciog him at the tribunal of all honest men. On the other heed, to elect candida'es 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 sup erficial Well, I think but an emotion both deep and lasting. the purpose would be accomplished if some persons_in a agitation, high station wine determined nobtlyattotraocotmethfeorawtaterndtioonn a solemn occasion, so chosen as of indignation that fret in the d the ceremony force, of the world, and then to give b u o t o a te r r t a s. nce F t o o r t s h o e d o fe in el g in n g o s interrupted,hat wanitdhtothreesiust,n itnawginthe thanwhich the formalityß7pinunbnlyi besefese to comply , af ter strtoa cloiafe n t. t t ea e k r ain o nd p g opportunity euornaaititshy, should C a Ot l 1 andt duaoutyedstraeteionlguttiloienirt o insist, motives,if atif tthhreearteistikeodf, o t o ill i t :o h m ey en w, e r e e o s a u n b d d a u l. ed by physical In the cave of Louis Napoleon's putting up with such an affront, the hold his Government has ovtr eo many terrified minds would be irretrievably shaken.

France is not like those heavy cavaliers of the middle ages, all cast in iron, who once brought to the ground, could no longer move. She will rise again, and will answer to the call of those capable of loving her above all, if they be daring. Be so. LOUIS BLltaio
