LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. Accounts from Boston to the sth inst. inclusive have been . received by the arrival of the packet ship Anglo - Saxon, after a short run of 18 days. The accounts thus received add little to our previous in formation. From Washington we learn that on the 2d inst. the House of Representatives, by a vote of 115 to 48, re solved " that it is inexpedient to levy any duty on tea and coffee." The decision of the House was given without the slightest debate. The Sub-Treasury Bill had come into operation. General Scott left New Orleans for Tampico on the 13th ult. Accounts from Tampico rumour that a large body of Mexican cavalry had been observed in the vicinity. The British ship-of-war Alarm, Lieutenant Mayo, had ar rived in the port ; the captain had been left indisposed at Vera Cruz. From Rio Grande the accounts merely note the continuance of the movements consequent upon the changed plan of operations. The 3d and 4th Illinois Regiments, the Tenessee Regiment of Cavalry, and other troops, were either about to start, or had started, from Matamoras, en route for Tampico rid Moquete. The three regiments together amounted to 1,800 men. Great sickness existed at Mate moms. Several Americans had been murdered on the route to Camargo and Monterey. From the latter place we learn, that on the 12th of December General Taylor would start for Tampico rid Victoria, with one division of the army and a portion of a brigade. It was reported that General lirrea, with a troop of 6,000 Mexican cavalry, was at Victoria. It was reported, also, that Santa Anna had assembled a force of 28,000 men at San Luis. The chief, it is said had impri soned Ampudia, and other officers, on a charge of cowardice. General Wool remained at Parras, and General Worth at Saltillo. Mexico had been again the scene of intestine disturbances. The State of Tobasco, resenting the neglect with which the Central Government treated the applications of the depart ment for assistance at the time of Commodore Perry's recent attack upon Tobasco, had issued a pronunciamento declaring independence. Yucatan, also, was involved in disturbance. Campeachy had pronounced against the reunion of the department with the Central Government. Canadian journals to the 30th of December add nothing o our last accounts. Havannah advices to the 20th of December had been re ceived. They merely state that a Yucatecos steamer had managed to enter the harbour, in the face of the United States vessel-of-war cruizing on that ground, by hoisting the British flag. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Our commercial accounts from New York do not extend to a later date than the 2d inst.:— NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JAN. 2, 2 P.m.—The sales of ashes this week are small, amounting to only 400 bbls. of both de scriptions, including pots at 4 dolls. 68 3 %c. to 4 dolls. 75c., and pearls at 5 dolls. 50c. The sales of cotton for the week sum up 4,600 hales, of which 3,800 were Upland and Florida. and 800 Mobile and New Orleans. The arrivals during the same period were 7,864 bales. The market closes firm, and without change in prices since Saturday last. We quote as follows : Middling to good middling Ioa to 10 4 10 1 A to 10% Middling fair to fair lO% to 11 11 to 11 1 / i Fully fair to good fair l l l4 to 11 1 4 12 to 121,4 There is no change in flour, The sales of tallow this week amount to 60,0001 b. at Bc. B%c. per lb. The Albany Journa I says that it has been ascertained, after a careful examination, that there are 29,305 barrels of flour now in store in that city. This is supposed to be about one-half the amount in store last year. Easterri orders - were filled 'at Albany on Thursday at 5 dolls. 37%c. to 5 dolls. sc. for good Genesee. NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 24.—Cotton—The sales of the day amount to 2,500 bales, at very full prices, taken for France and the north. DECIT.3II3ER 22.—Freights—Nothing new has transpired in foreign freights. Coastwise there is little offering. Flour has been shipped to New York at 85c., and to Boston at 90c. Pork and beef 1 doll. sc. to New York, and 1 doll. 12c. to Boston. DECEMBER 23.—A barque was taken for Marseilles at 1 doll. 50c. for flour, and a ship for London at 68. 6d. for flour, and 20d. for corn. Some engagements were made this morning for Liverpool at 6s. flour and 18d. for corn. DECEMBER 24.—We did not hear of a single cotton en gagement for Europe. A brig was taken for Antwerp at 1 doll. 60e. for flour, and the Bremen ship Olbers, for the same port, at 1 doll. 50e... per barrel for flour. LEAMINGTON STEEPLE CIIASES.—The frost having disappeared in this part of the country, the steeple chases will take place on Wednesday and Thursday next. There are a great many horses for the different races, and altogether it will be one of the best steeple-chase meetings that has ever been. The Selling Stakes and hurdle race closes on the night previous to the steeple chases; and all stakes are to be paid up for the first day by seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, and the second day by seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, to Mr. Merry, saddler, Warwick-street. There will also be a grand dress ball on the Wednesday evening, at the Assembly Rooms. The steeple chases will come off on Warwick Race-course. It is a matter on which we may congratulate our selves and our readers, that not a single case of cholera has been reported at the police-office for the last three months.— Bombay Telegraph. Viscount Morpeth entertained at dinner on Satur day last the Marquis and Marchionexs of Lorn, the American Minister and Mrs. Bancroft, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hon. C. Howard, Mrs. Drummond, Mrs. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Mackintosh, Mr. and Mrs. K. Shuttleworth, Mrs. Broadhead, and Mr. Orme. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY, JAN. 22. The gloom whish hung over the market on Tuesday continues unabated. The decline in the value of cotton at Liverpool has appa rently destroyed the confidence of buyers in the prices of goods and yarn, and they are unwilling to operate, even at a reduction of quite equal to the decline in cotton. During the week one or two failures have been announced, but they are not of very serious magnitude.—Manchester Guardian. We have to announce the death of the Countess de Bondy, one of the Ladies in Waiting on the Queen of the French. She survived her husband but a week. BAL COSTUME AT CROCKFORD ' S.—The conversion of this splendid establishment into assembly rooms has Proved completely successfully. The salons on Dlonday and Thursday evenings are well attended. It is the intention of the spirited lessee to give a series of fancy balls next month, commencing on Wednesday, the 3d of February, with a grand bal costume. RIMUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—OII Saturday, for the first time during the past eight or ten weeks, the price of bread underwent a general and consider able moduction, with, h owever, some variations in different oissachs or the metropolis. In the western parishes the price of the best four-pound loaf is 11d., and that of the household qua',- 9 1 ,4 d. In the neighbourhood of Drury-lane the price is without exception 104(1. best, and 9d. inferior; and in Southwark and Lambeth from 10 1 ,0. to 84d., and in some instances as low as 7 1 ,4 d. FIRE IN LEATHER-LANE.—Last evening, between five and six o'clock, a fire was discovered upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. Wymer, a bread and biscuit baker, No. 70, Leather-lane. The flames originated in the bake house on the basement, which contained a large quantity of shavings for beating the oven. Owing to their inflammable nature it was found impossible to extinguish the flames with out the assistance of the engines, which, however, speedily arrived; and an abundance of water being at hand, the fire-. men succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the building in which they originated. Considerable damage , was done to the stock-in-trade and premises. air. Wymer is insured in the Plicenix. DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A NEWSPAPER MES SENGER.—As a mounted messenger was on Saturday even• mg riding at a furious pace with a large parcel of newspapers for the Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, his horse slipped at Temple-bar, and he fell with fearful violence to the ground. When raised up he was quite insensible, and blood flowed profusely from injuries which he had sustained about the head. His wounds having been bound up in an adjoining surgeon's, and the requisite stimulants administered, he was conveyed to his home in a state of the most intense suffering. ACCIDENT AT THE LIVERPOOL AMPHITHEATRE. — On Monday night a man in the gallery of the Amphitheatre, who had left his place during one of the acts, missed his footing .while endeavouring to spring into his former seat, was precipitated over the railing into the pit, a depth of at least thirty feet, and fell upon two ladies. The bench upon which they were sitting was split, but, marvellous to relate, with the exception of a few bruises, the man and the ladies were, we believe, uninjured.—Liceipool Mercury. THE IRISH PARTY.—MI. George A. Hamilton, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, Lord Bernard, and Mr. Godley, who have been deputed to act for the committee, arrived in London on Saturday, and on Monday apartments were ob tained in Palace-yard, Westminster, where the Irish Peers and Members of the House of Commons will have the op portunity of consultation and conference.—Dublin Evening Mail. _ _ --- CORN AND COALS.—It was mentioned by several of the coal-merchants in the City, on Saturday, that so great has the demand for vessels become within the last few days, to be employed in importing corn from America, that it is almost impossible to get vessels for any other purpose, and under no circumstances except at enormous rates. It was added that a large number of vessels hitherto employed ex clusively in the coal trade have been engaged to sail for New Orleans with all possible dispatch. But for the scarcity of shipping the coal-merchants say that the prices would, in a few weeks, have undergone a great reduction—most pro bably to their usual price of from 28s. to 30s. per ton. The quantities at the coal-pits in the North of England, read.!,:nt? be sent to the London market, are immensely great, and every exertion is making by the coalowners g et stated wasto on forwarded to the metropolitan market. ••it tavourable wind to Saturday that some hundreds of c o l lier s lower parts of the Thames, a :`wa i t i ng are.ltanchored in the proceed up the Pool.

There were about 1,200 poor per sons of the persuasion, of both sexes, present to partake of the bounty, which was dispensed in money and tickets for food and fuel. WRECK OF THE GLENLYON OF PERTH..—Some time ago we noticed the loss of this vessel at Salt Creek, in the Bay of Honduras, on the 9th of October last. The second mate, James Oliver, arrived here on Thursday, having come to Cork in the Prince Llewlellyn, of Liverpool. He states that the vessel was driven ashore from her moorings by one of the most dreadful hurricanes that had happened in that quarter for many years. After the vessel was stranded, the crew remained on board, the most of them nearly naked, for twenty-four hours, till, the storm abating, they got on land by means of a rope. During the hurricane the clothes of the crew were washed ashore, and on the landing of the second mate, the only person he perceived was an Indian dressed in his bonnet and jacket, who betook himself imme diately to the woods. The crew, ten in number, were ex posed to a deal of privation after the disaster—so much so that only three remained alive, two of whom were sent to Belize in a sickly condition. The master, Forsyth, a native of Dundee, died shortly aftA,,,,he landed, and the mute, who had embarked for Cork on slard the Prince Llewlellyn, died two days before her arrival at that port.—Dundee .4drertiser No. 16,958.

THE POISONINGS IN ESSEX. A communication having been made to Sir G. Grey by Mr. Collins, clerk to the magistrates of Saffron Walden, in consequence of a letter which Sarah Chesham (who is now a prisoner in Chelmsford Gaol, charged under the coroner's in quest with the murders of Joseph and James Chesham) in trusted to the matron of the gaol to:post to Mr. T. Newport, farmer of Clavering, and which was forwarded to the com mitting magistrates, and by them to the Secretary of State's office, Inspector Shackell, of the metropolitan force, was sent down to Clavering to assist the local authorities in capturing Mr. T. Newport, and in the collection of evidence in the case. Mr. T. Newport was apprehended on the 15th instant, and on Friday last underwent an examination before Lord Bray brooke and Mr. Birch Woolfe on the charge of aiding and abetting Sarah Chesham in administering poison to Soloman Taylor, the illegitimate child of Lydia Taylor. From the evidence of Lydia Taylor, it appeared, that whilst she lived in the service of the mother of Newport, she became with child by him, and that he urged her to take drugs to procure abortion, which she refused to do. A month after the birth of the child, Sarah Chesham went to see her, said Newport was a good-for-nothing fellow, and promised to call again. She did call again, in a month or two after, at the house of Lydia Tayl or, an d b roug ht some tea, apple dumplings, butter, &c. She took the child up in h e r arms, when it became sick, and s h e sa id s h e had given it a piece of sugar. She then begged Lydia Taylor to call on her at Clavering, and bring the c hild w i t h h e r. She did so, when Chesham said she would t a k e th e c hild to its father,tnok _ and r ran across a field with it.

S DT JANUARY 25, 1847. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The proposition which Lord J. Russell is to submit to the consideration of Parliaraent this evening has an inherent importance, to which even the magnitude of the present crisis can add nothing. The introduction of a mea sure of relief for the poor of Ireland concerns not only present interests and temporary exigencies, but the necessities of the whole empire for all time to come. The condition of Ireland is, directly, the condition of the British empire. No legis ative union can tighten—no Utopian separation could dis solve—that intimate and close connexion between the two islands which has been formed by the hand of nature, and consolidated by the operations of time. Where position and circumstance have done so much, it were vain for the wishes and theories of men to struggle against their results. It were as easy to change the geographical longitude of Dublin, AS to untie that social union which exists and will exist be tween Ireland and England, independently of the wishes of the people, or the resolutions of the Legislature. Each year 1 cements by closer fusion the twain branches of the Saxon and the Celtic stocks. Those giant ministers of civilization, steam and iron, deride with Promethean sneer the puny malice of faction and the antipathies of fear. Whilst our passions are the most excited, and our jealousy the most vigilant, terror and passion are found equally unavailing to keep those apart whom a higher Power than man's has joined by the contiguity of position and the bond of mutual dependence. It does, therefore, become to every thinking Englishman a question of paramount importance how that natural unity which already exists shall be best confirmed by legislative enactments, and that intercourse which can never be checked shall be carried on to the greatest advan tage of both countries. Hitherto the union has been local and geographical, but not substantial. Ireland and England have resembled nothing else so much as the dead and the living bound together by the fetters of a cruel caprice. The dead body has been convulsed with painful imitation of its breathing neighbour; the living has drunk in inevitable cor ruption from the contagious mortality of its companion. But this must now be changed. The lethargy of centuries must be dispelled, and a vital warmth infused into the stagnant channels of suspended life. Ireland must be one with Eng land in the participation of her social and material, no less than of her political and constitutional privileges. England must be freed from the drag-chain of Irish improvidence and the contagion of Irish pauperism. At present, Ireland is paying the heaviest penalty for the past imprudence and shortsightedness of her wealthiest and most powerful sons. But she is not paying this by herself: England is mulcted for connivance at a great neglect, which time has developed into a great crime. The weakness or the indifference of man has given intensity to the inflictions of Heaven ; and England feels the scourge which has visited Ireland for the omission of duties which it was once incumbent upon herself to fulfil, and it is now in cumbent upon both to recognise. Celtic hunger avid Celtic fury are gnashing their teeth in alternate prayers and exe crations. The redundant tide of Irish misery swells with ominous din and increasing force upon the high shore of our cities and chief marts. Each succeeding vessel from the fainine-smitten island brings a new cargo of wretchedness, clamarous for alms, and resolute in complaint. Bristol, Liverpool, Stockport, are thronged with this gaunt and fear ful immigration. In vain are the necessities of domestic want and the indigence of native industry pleaded against the obstreperous demands of this intrusive destitution. In vain is it urged that the first mortgagees of home charity are unusually numerous; that the English arti zan is working half time, and the English shopkeeper receiving halt profits. Irish want and Irish per tinacity admit of no such reply. The dark and squalid throng that diminished wages have thrown upon the succour of parochial or private bounty has received a fearful augmen tation to its numbers in the dreary multitude whom a novel arid unheard-of enterprise has landed is our western ports. Strange that the miseries of life should be coined into a trade ; that the blind eagerness of a starving people, and the dismay of their richer neighbours, should be wrought out into a gainful speculation ! But what more forcible commen lacy could be exhibited than this upon the two antagonist lines of policy which have been taken in two states of the same empire —a policy which has in one given to unexpected or unmerited poverty a perpetual lien upon consenting pro perty, and, in the other, has left it to the casual support of voluntary benevolence or the dangerouse license of an exact ing mendicity ? With such a state of things as this before their eyes, is it wonderful that Englishmen should look with feelings of curiosity, not wholly unmixed with jealousy, to the Ministerial plan of poor relief for Ireland? Is it wonderful that they should demand an equitable adjustment between property and its obligees in every part of the empire ? Is it wonderful that they should insist on giving to the Irish the same privileges which are enjoyed by the English peasant? That they should expect a country which has a gross rental arising from land to the amount of 12,000,0001. a year to burden itself for the support of its impotent poor ;—that they should demand of its aristocracy such a provision as shall effectually mitigate the recurrence of a visitation like the present, and effectually prevent the shameful degradation implied in their wholesale appeal for alms to the charities of the more pro • vident people? And is it .trange too, that, when they cal culate the awful effects which a repetition of such misma nagement and of such consequences must infallibly produce on a population of eight million beings, and of the baneful influence it must have upon English prosperity and English tranquillity—is it strange that they should watch with jealous scrutiny the policy of the Minister and the attempts made by the more powerful Irish interests to obstruct him in carrying out a policy, which past history and present emer gency prove to be necessary for the security of England and the prosperity of Ireland? CHRONICLE.—One whose faithful performunce of his own duties as an owner of land, not less than his high per sonal character and honourable public services, gives value to his praise, said lately of the Irish landlords, in their present difficulties, that " they had conducted themselves in a manner which reflected the highest honour upon them." These are startling words. Our respect for any opinion coining from the Marquis of Lansdowne obliges us to con sider whether we, and the English public generally, may not have done the Irish landlords some injustice. The Noble Marquis confined his remark to the " present trying circumstances." We shall keep within the same narrow limits. Let us try to forget, though but for a moment, that long and shameful history of past neglect and mis conduct which has no apologist. What have the Irish landlords done, under the pressure of the present calamity, to entitle them to such eulogy fyom an English statesman? Let us try them fairly. An objection meets us on the threshold—" You must not judge of them by an English standard. They are poor and embarressed of ; disabled from acting in concert by the prevalence absentee ism. They have to deal with apeasantry wretched and helpless to a degree unknown in England ; and there is not, as in England, a middle class to share their efforts or their burdens. It would be most unfair to try them by an English standiarardd..” Be it so. We will not try them by an English standard. But there is a class with whom they may be fairly c ompared. The Western Highland s o f S co tl a nd are inhabited by a peasantry similar to those of Ireland. Potato food, want of a middle class, impoverished and absentee landlords, are facts common to the two coun tries. Will the conduct of the Irish proprietors, in the pre sent trying circumstances, bear comparison with that of their Scottish brethren? In the course of last session an Act was passed authorising loans of money to landlords for drainage. We say nothing now of the policy of that Act. But when the first indication of famine appeared, the Scotch landlords proceeded to avail themselves of the means thus afforded for. employing the peasantry. With what result? Sir George Grey tells us that they have hitherto got through their difficulties with comparative success. Only two deaths have taken place from starvation. There has been no waste, no ne glect of tillage, no demoralization of men working in gangs upon the roads, Look to Ireland. An Act was passed autho rising each barony to employ the poor who could not find private work., the whole of the necessary funds to be ad vanced in the first instance by the Treasury. Lord John Russell declared its object to be to stimulate private employ ment. Precautions, w hi c h anywhere but in Ireland would have been successful, were taken with this view. The public wages were to be fixed a t a l ower rate than private wages. Public works were not ev en t o b e set on foot whereprivate P and profitable employment c ou ld b e f ound for the poor. At the same time the landl or d s, lik e those of Scotland, were enabled by the Drainage Act to afford such employment. How did they act? With one accord they flung aside the Drainage Act, and put men by thousands upon the roads, to be paid by the Treasury. It, is now perfectly evident that this reckless waste of public money was incurred in the beli e f that they would never b e called upon to repay it. Loans under the Drainage Act they knew must be repaid, but with respect to advances fur public works Sir David Roach blurted out the truth at a Limerick meeting :—" They say we shall never be asked for all this money we are getting." It was a good opportunity of easing John Bull of his superfluous cash. While this reckless system was going on, the land lords began to cry out more and more loudly against the un profitableness of what they were doing. Die uovernment was charged with producing all the evil, because it was said that the landlords of a whole barony could not act together to find profitable employment. The Government. to take away all excuse, literally suspended the law, and enabled the landlords of a single electoral division to act together. But it annexed conditions which would have secured repay ment of the public advances. There was a momentary pause. The clamour then broke out afresh. The new plan was de clared to be as bad as the old. The Government was abused, and the money was drawn out of the Exchequer in fresh floods to be wasted on the roads. From first to last the ten dency of the course taken by the landlords was to relieve them selves from every burden, and to cast the whole weight of alleviating the public distress in one crushing mass upon the shoulders of the Government. When we look to the present frightful condition of Ireland when we see millions of money expended in destroying the habits of the people, in teaching them to look to Government, and net to themselves, for support, in familiarising them with pauperism and strengthening their tendency to combina tions—when we see under the form of law the dissolution of society itself advancing with rapid strides, we are compelled to ask the Marquis of Lansdowne with the utmost respect— If the landlords have so acted as to reflect honour on them selves, whose misconduct is it that has brought about " these le gigantic evils? Who are " the architects cannet even imagine a defence of the Iris h r landlords ln as a class which would not convict the re are satisfied that Governmentthe of the most unpardonable folly and incapacity. Nst Government is open to no each imputation. Whatever ex perience it had of Irish landlords, it could not anticipate, in a time of public calamity, the reckless neglect of all their duties which they have exhibited . r work, With English landlords or Scotch landlords the measures whic e l r t e he intended tie to o n v adopted would have wor ked as they w and even if they bad de fects, p rivate and voluntary zeal would have made up for them. They failed and were turned to mischief in Ireland sim p l y as every other reform has been and will be perverted w hich is made dependent for its working upon a class proved to be incorrigible. What ever is to be done for the rege neration of Ireland must not be done by or through the landlords. Th e experiment has been tried too often without succ ess to be now repeated. A differ ent and a surer basis must be found for legislation in the pea santry themselves. Trust nothing to the discretion of men who have never show n a common feeling, or the sense of a institutions, to the ways of think common interest, with th d at peasantry. Trust everything to the adaptation of laws an . the relations of English ing and'acting which prevaeilraoloenegst the peasantry themselves.

Yet the mine, and the railway, and the harvest field of England show that there are motives which can incite him to strenuous labour. Why not try upon this singular people, whom English Go vernments have hitherto fcaind so wayward, and English employers so docile, the virtue of a system which, whatever be its faults, has the one uniform result, wherever it has been established, of inspiring men with a spirit of indefatigable industry? Now that an extraordinary emergency authorizes and necessitates a great reform, and when the existence of extensive improvable and long-neglected wastes present the means, why should not the occasion be taken to bring a new influence to bear upon the diseased social system of Ireland? There is but one obstacle in the way of so great a good. That obstacle is—the Irish landlords. CAMBERWELL-HOUSE LUNATIC ASYLUM. In consequence of the want of room and proper accommo dation for lunatics in the workhouses of the metropolis, and throughout the country generally, the above establishment, standing upon ten acres of ground, tastefully fitted up, was licensed and opened about twelve mouths since, for the recep tion of pauper lunatics, for whom the several parishes pay so much per week for their keep, clothing, &c. The asylum is built for 300 patients, male and female, and there are already ' 270 within its walls, under the care of Mr. J. 11. Paul, the resident medical superintendent, and Mr.J. F. Reece, resident surgeon, exclusive of Dr. Dickson, the visiting physician. The system of treatment is quite opposed to that severe restraint to which lunatics were formerly subjected, and which, instead of abating, aggravated, and often confirmed permanently, the fearful malady of its sufferers. In Camber well-House, mildness, kind treatment, generous living, and the abolition, as much as possible, of all personal or bodily restraint, are the means adopted, and most successfully, to compose and sooth its afflicted patients, and to restore reason to its throne. During the day the patients are allowed to roam at pleasure, under the supervision of well-disciplined keepers, throughout the extensive grounds, and when fatigued from exercise, or if they wish it, they have large spacious halls, to which they may retire and enjoy themselves as their whims suggest. In the men's day-room there is a large billiard-table, and in the women's room a bagatelle-board, with which they amuse themselves. Besides which there is a library well stocked with general and popular literature, and the several newspapers, but from the latter the slightest allusion to suicide is cut out, lest it might suggest the idea of self-destruction. Once a week, during the last few months, the patients have had a dance, in which the males and fe. males joined, one of their companions playing the violin, which lie does remarkably well. The dance is invariably conducted in the presence of the medical officers, or of Mr. Gibson, the steward. This amusement had such beneficial effects upon the inmates, that the heads of the asylum re solved to give them a public ball and supper, which they did on Thursday last. On that occasion the gentry of the neigh bourhood were invited to attend. The hall in which the ball came off was most tastefully festooned with flags, banners, artificial flowers, &c. At one end, and over the orchestra, was a likeness cf her Majesty, with a tastefully decorated crown suspended above, and encircled with a scroll inscribed with the words, " Long may she live." The floor was hand somely chalked by the patients, who described upon it the royal arms, those of the Prince of Wales surmounted by the plume of feathers, and several other national devices. Shortly after seven o'clock the ball-room was opened to visitors, and at half-past seven the inmates, male and female, headed by the medical officers, and accompanied by their keepers, entered the room, and, having taken their seats, the musicians commenced playing the most enlivening airs, which afforded great delight to the patients, who evinced their pleasure by their gestures and their beating time to the music with their feet. The visitors and patients then par took of coffee together. The latter were not only ex ceedingly mild in their demeanour, but joined with the greatest earnestness in the general conversation of the evening ; and this, although there were amongst them men and women who were the most violent when they first entered the asylum, and some, who had even several times attempted suicide. Coffee over, the dance commenced, in which the medical gen tlemen and their ladies, and the visitors, had, as their partners, the patients. The correctness with which the in mates went through the several figures, and the mazes of the dance, was truly extraordinary. Having indulged in the amusement to a very late hour, supper was served up to the visitors and the patients, who, having done ample justice to the good things provided for them, the latter re tired to their apartments, highly delighted with the plea sures in which they bad participated, and with countenances beaming with gratitude to those who so kindly afforded them an opportunity of enjoying themselves. The visitors were astonished at the pleasing spectacle which they had witnessed, and expressed an ardent wish that they would soon again enjoy a similar exhibition. Dr. Dickson and Mr. Paul assured them that they would, as they were fully con vinced that nothing was so eminently calculated to restore their afflicted patients to their senses and society, than such indulgences and relaxations. What a contrast to the bolts, the bars, the chains, and corporal punishment which were formerly resorted to, for the purpose of frightening (that must have been the object), insanity out of lunatics, although bitter and melancholy experience proved that such an iron-and-chain sytem had quite the opposite effect.— Dispatch. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. We have received the West India MaiL_hy the Trent steamer. The reports of the sugar and coffee crops are en couraging. In every island, with the exception of Cuba, the crops are expected to be most abundant. The islands are generally healthy. A rumour was prevalent that the Go vernor of Jamaica intended to dissolve the Assembly, and that a general election would take place. Sir Charles Grey was sworn as Governor on the 21st December. KINGSTON ➢fARKETS. ...... (From De Cordova's Meicantile Intelligencer.) No transactions of a speculative tendency have been in duced by the approach of the Christmas holidays, and the market has been most unusually quiet for the period of the year. This inactivity is attributable to the disinclination of dealers to purchase largely now, when it is confidently ex pected that the supplies will in a short time be considerably increased, and prices must consequently fall. This remark, however, applies more directly to flour than to any other ar ticle, as, if we except rice and pork, it is the only staple of which there is at present any quantity in stock. The ar ticles in most demand are butter, lard, hams, cheese, bread, cod oil, pigs' tongues, herrings, alewives, candles, and meal, ix which there is no doubt a good business could be done. were the supplies at all adequate to tie demand. e may notice that the retail trade is very buoyarst o , as it always is at this season, but ;it is checked in a great mea sure by the scarcity of most of the articles of every day's consumption. EXPORT:4. SUGAR.--Coarse brown is very plentiful, and may be ge nerally obtained at from 18s. Gd. to 20s. per 1001bs. ; but the market is badly supplied with the better sorts, which are worth. and would realize, from 223. to 255. per 1001bs. The accountsfrom the manufacturing districts report very favour ably of the prospects of the 1847 crop, and it is expected that there will be larger " taking off" than there has been for some years past. It is impossible, however, to hazard an opinion as to the probable quantity which will be actually manufactured. In some parishes it is rumoured that the al most hopeless competition which he has before him will induce the planter rather to permit the canes to perish in the earth than yet further to risk his limited means in attempts to overcome the difficulties by which he is surrounded. Eng. lish double refined may be quoted at 90s. per 1001bs. for small loaves. Ruin is worth 4s. 3d. to 4s. 4d. per gallon. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

She is now so far in that there is not more than 2 1 A feet of water iu her. She drew 17 feet when she struck, but the pilots expect there will not at the spring tides be more than seven feet where she sits. The rocks outside break the sea, so that it has very little effect on her. She sits quite upright, and a stranger not aware of what had happened, would not take her for a wreck.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,— A paragraph which appears in The Sun of the 12th instant, under the head of police•office, Lambeth, stating that "on Monday, John Joan, 'a young fellow, whose friends were said to be highli respectable, his father being barrack master at Cork," &c., &c., having been brought under the notice of the widow of the officer therein referred to as his parent, I, at her request, beg you will con tradict so much of the assertion as stated "John Jones" to be a son of the barrack-master at Cork, such being incorrect, the only son of that lamented officer being at present in the East Indies, where he has served for the last live years with one of her Majesty's regiments.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The opening soiree of the season was given last Friday evening, at the rooms of this society, which were as crowded as usual with an elegant and fashionable assemblage—Madame Dulcken, Mr. Muhlenfeldt, Mr. Blagrove, Mr. Goffrie, Mr. Goodbere, Miss Birch, Miss Rainforth, Miss Dolby, Miss Ranstord, Signor Marras, Mr. Manvers, Mr. Machin, Mr. Seguin , Signor and Madame FrederickLahlache, Miss Eliza Birch, and Miss Messent, contributed many agreeable morceaux in the musical department; after which an e xhibition was made of a new lite-preserver and life-buoy called the Nautilus, which appears to have these advantages over all preceding ones—namely, greater simplicity, the power of self-inflation, great buoyancy, easy portability, and a structure which pre serves it against the risk of its air being exhausted by punc tures or superficial injury. Mr. Bucking ham then g ave an outline sketch of his late tour through Italy, including a visit to Herculaneum and Pompeii. He gave also some interest ing details respecting the character and policy of the new Pope, with whom be had enjoyed a long personal interview, and after this he adverted in terms of just eulogium to the genius of a rising English artist, resident at Rome, 11 _r.
