ELESCOTOURIS.,IIWARK. Ri lIOWEVER great the satisfaction I derive nhoo s i„ , frDrn the honour you have conferred on me, in still hien rie as your Representative in Parliament, I attach erimportance to the political bearing of the defeat you have given t o a strange com bi nat i on o f T or i es, Ch ar ti s t s , an d Anarchist s . who were aided by unlimited funds, by a powerful P r ess, by heal official influence, and by agents who, when so licitation failed to obtain their ends, unscrupulously resorted to coerci on. ! You have shown them that religious inquisition, hypocrisy, and persecution, will meet with as little countenance from you as bribery, or an affectation of over-zeal for the sufferings of th e People, whose rights are wantonly trampled upon by the s ame parties when ambition renders despotism more convenient. ~ I triumph i n th e examp l e you have given to the lovers of liberty in other parts of the kingdom where elections are now going on, and who se s pi r it may have been partially damped by the boasting of that faction which, upon the undeniable ferment t hatexists, founds the hope of dominion over the Sovereign and the people. They have long been prophesying destruction to the cause of Reform as the result of the next General Election, and you have shown them what any man has to expect at your hands rho does not (equally independent of the Government and of its enemies) trust only to his known determination to save his Country by promoting the welfare of its inhabitants. There are no expressions by which I could thank you for your exertions in this contest which would not be inadequate to my sense of them. It will never be effaced from my mind, and I trust that it will ever animate me in the fulfilment of the du ties I have undertaken to perform.

The value of the works, &c., as estimated by Mr. William Need ham, an experienced ironmaster, employed by those Directors on behalf of the proposed Company, was 384,33/. The Works are in complete repair, and in full and profitable employment, and will, by the Ist of May, he capable of produc ing annually 25,000 tons of bar iron, for which there is an ample supply of minerals upon the property; and judging from their present capabilities, and from past experience, it is calculated that the profit on the purchase money of 327,0001. will be equal to 101. per cent. per annum.

Duting the late severe weather, a man of 87 years of age, who was a public beggar, was found dead in his room, at Orleans, and the medical men who examined the body declared that the death was occasioned by cold, the room, which was much exposed, having been without fire. On opening a little cupboard, the authorities were astonished at finding that this man, who had denied to himself the means of supporting life, had possessed sufficient wealth to purchase all the comforts of existence. Independently of several titles of investments, nearly 9,000 f. in five-franc pieces were found in bags, and a basket was filled with bards, the fi uits of his recent collections. A nephew of the deceased, who was present, and who had not entertained the slightest suspicion that his relative was so well off, was, of course, much delighted at the discovery. NAMES OF STREETS.—A correspondent of the Post suggests that the sole power of naming streets, &c., should be left to the different district surveyors, who should be enjoined not to allow the same name to be used twice over. He says, " It would be no exaggeration to say that Christian names have furnished one-tenth of the squares, streets, lanes, and alleys, of the metropolis. There are above 50 John-streets, and as many Charles-streets. Charlotte is given to upwards of 30, and George to no less than 75 places in London. The royal appellation of William is by no means scarce. The name of her present Majesty has been pressed into the service' for numberless streets, so that the loyalty of the motive will hardly excuse the confusion it creates. Next to the Sovereign comes the Church, which occurs upwards of 50 times, while new and old have been hackneyed until the forme' has become the latter over and over again."

Til ON EY MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING.) TIME S —What was surmised yesterday seems to be pretty generally adopted to-day as correct—that the Bank of England had made some considerable progress at least in the settlement of their engagements abroad, before is suing the late order for the reduction of the rate of interest. In effecting that purpose they have had to sustain a power ful action upon them by the merchants of Paris and other great cities of the continent, who have not only contrived to influence the exchanges, but to keep down the price of gold itself, so as to render any form of payment that could be adopted a disadvantage to the Bank. It was foretold, and the result seems to prove it, that the operation must, under the very best management, become a costly one to them. Remittances to Paris to the amount of 500,0001. in gold are said to have taken place in the present week for the account of the Bank of England, and which it is conjectured will nearly close that account. The impulse given to the Consol Market by the Bank notice of yesterday has not been kept up. There has been a slight re-action to-day, and the Market looked generally flat, especially at the latter part of the day. Very little business was done. The closing quotations were 011 to for money, and 911 to for the account. Exchequer bills are well sustained, and left off at 18s. to 20s. prem. The returns of the cotton trade in France, just made for the year 1839, offer in their general features the same results as in this country. The arrivals during the last year were 342,100 bales against 390,978 for 1838, or 48,878 less in the former than in the latter year. The quantity taken out for consumption and export in 1839 is stated at 329,100 bales, against 392,478 for 1838, or a diminution of 63,378 bales. The stocks on hand on the 31st of December last are calculated at 75.000 bales, whereas at the corresponding period of 1838 they were only 62,000, and at the same time in 1837, 63,500. The quan tity taken in the ports for consumption or exportation during the last four amounts to 1,440 bales, giving an average yearly of 360,000 bales. Deducting from this the portion taken for export to Switzerland; Germany, &c., estimated at about 40,000 bales yearly, the real con sumption in the cotton manufactories of France will average 320,000 bales a year, or 26,500 per month. The decrease of consumption has been rateably the same in all the cotton districts there. Thus the proportion of de crease of cotton supplied from Havre last year was equal to 56,000 bales ; from Marseilles, 3,000 ; from all other ports, 5,000. The opinion generally obtains in France, that notwithstanding the greater stock of cotton on hand, and the largeness of the crop in course of shipment from the United States, the prices of cotton will not be materially affected so long as they remain at mode rate quotations ; for the increased consumption by the manufacture this year, which last year was so much checked on account principally of the forced advance in prices of the raw material, would, it was considered, freely absorb the additional imports which might be expected. unless there should be an extraordinary accumulation of stock in the markets. There was reason to believe that money would become much easier in trade, and the return of confidence from that cause would serve to stimulate the consumption, . Some country correspondents have desired to obtain, through this journal, further information relative to the report lately made by the directors of the London Joint- Stock Bank to the Proprietors. To sum up their remarks as briefly as possible, they may be stated to be—l. That among the assets separate amounts should be given for "bills discounted," "loans to customers," and "cash in the bank," instead of placing the whole in a single sum; 2. That in stating the " expenses" included in the sum of 10,2631. 9s. 4d., there should have been a separation of the items, but particularly that of bad debts ;3. That a distinct account should have been given of any debts due from Canada or from the United States, or secured by the stock of loans raised in those countries ; 4. That some better reason should be assigned why it was determined to issue new shares, instead of calling for a portion of amount still due on the existing shares. Such inquiries are made with great propriety by shareholders in joint-stock compa nies residing at a distance, who will insure more regular management at head-quarters, when it is seen that they are able, and take the trouble, to judge for themselves. All such accounts should certainly be given more in detail than they are at present, were it only to prove to the world that the bad example set in this respect by some of the American banks is not meant to be followed in this country. POST.—The reduction yesterday by the Bank Er rectors of their rate of discount from 6 to 5 per cent. per annum has necessarily provoked a good deal of discussion among commercial men in the city ; we do not, however, discover that there is any disposition to find fault with the proceeding. If the French Government should succeed in effecting a reduction of the Five per Cent. Rentes, of which there is every prospect, the Bank of England would have been presently compelled to take the step they have done for reasons the most obvious, and it is clearly better that they should be in advance of this measure, more especially since the rate of interest in England is now generally below that lately demanded by them ; for it is hardly fair that the old and steady houses who look io the Directors for accommodation at certain periods of the year, and who have little inclination to apply elsewhere for it, should have 1 per cent. per annum more to pay for the discount of a bill than their neigh bours. Our contemporaries, of the press are perplexed by this movement on the part of th e B an k. Th ey th i n k i t may possibly not be justified by the result, b ut arc scarce l y prepared to state their opinions at alt positively and dis tinctly upon the subjec t; yet, should thi ngs go wrong again, they claim the privilege of laying the blame at the door of the Bank, Is if that institution could undertake to protect the public from the consequences of insane specu lations in the Funds, in share 3, arid in all kinds of pro duce—speculations which are but too often fostered and promoted by the press itself. We could wish that our contemporaries would venture, as they exact the right of descanting so freely on the conduct of the Bank Di rectors, to speak out boldly. Let them say at once whether they ( t h e Di re ct o rs) have, in their opinion, done right or not. We want to fix them to some principle or other by which we may be able to compare their sentiments of the present time with those to which they may be pleased to give utterance some six, or eight, or twelve months hence, because it is easy to see what has been done amiss, and what might have been better avoided, after the revelations of time are Wore us ; and, if no opinions be hz.zarded now that the position of the Bank is sufficiently intelligible to all, we can give but little credit for foresight hereafter, when it comes to be discovered, as it very probably may, that a wiser policy might have been adopted. Our contempo raries are sorely puzzled. They know not what to say or what to think of the reduction by the Directors in their rate of discount. It may be right, or it may be very wrong, and, should it unhappily prove the latter, they wish not, as we have intimated, to be debarred, when the time comes round, of the enviable privilege of declaring such to be the fact. In the interval they take the amiable course. They give the Directors the benefit of the doubt, and say nothing by which they run the smallest risk of com mitting themselves. HERALD.—The Money Market for commercial pur poses appears to have settled down very quietly. Dis counts on good paper have been effected this day at 41 to 53- per cent., and there is a feeling that nothing of a dis turbing character is at all likely to affect the value of money at present. On the subject of the reduction in the rate of in terest from 6 per cent, to 5 per cent., the generally expressed opinion of the leading mercantile interests is, that the Bank of England Direction have acted correctly. Scund commercial paper is discounted at much lower rates in many of the continental cities than here, which, coupled with the glut of silver bullion that prevails these, as well as the difficulty which our merchants find in getting their orders for foreign corn com pleted at rates that will pay in the English markets, are considered as secondary causes, which have also justified the Bank Direction in their determination. The opinion gains ground that there will be a funding of Exchequer Bills, and the premium on them further advanced. On this subject we have some reason to be lieve that though the matter has been in contemplation for some time by our Finance Minister, still it has not been officially communicated in quarters where the arrangement of the conversion must be finally managed. SUN.—We are sorry that we arc unable to announce any improvement in the Continental exchanges. The rates paid for bills this afternoon were again unfavour able in most instances to this country. The exchange on Paris was done at 25 55 to 521, on Hamburg at 13 9 to 91, on Amsterdam at 12 21 to 12 2, and Antwerp at 12 2i,and on Frankfort at 1501. The English securities did not close quite so firmly, Consols for Money having dropped to 913 and for Time to 911 ; Exchequer Bills supported, however, the improvement to 20s. prem. ; East India Stock touched 250, and the heavy stocks were pretty steady. Business was not animated in the Foreign Market after the middle of the day. Spanish Actives rose, however, for the Account, to 26i, though the latest price of the day was not higher than 25 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were heavy to the close at 34 ; Brazil Stock receded to 76 ; French per Four Cents. were marked 103 f. 50c., and the Three per Cants. dropped to 80f. 75e. A very animated appearance was presented in the Share Market by the dealings which took place in a large number of the Railway Sh ares , espec i a ll y th e m i nor lines,which at times of pressur e are scarce ly sa l ea bl e . The prices paid were generally higher than those et yesterday. There is very little doubt b u t th a t su dd e n spirit of business will not last long, as an extension of healthy trading operations will abs o rb the surplus capital afloat in the City. The Birmingham and Derby Shares realised 20 ; the Birmingham and Gloucester, 16 ; the Hull and Selby, 11 ; the Brighton 91 to 10 ; the Blackwall, ; the Midland Counties 17, and the North Midland, 114- discount ; the Great Western, 21 ; the New Shares, 1 ; the Southampton, bi ; and the Birmingham Quar ter, 19 premium.

(FROM OCR CORRESPONDENT.) PROPAGANDA AT ROME.—Academical Grations in forty three languages. . . JAN. most interesting exhibition took place on the Sunday, withi n th e oc t ave o f the Epiphany. The Students of this vast establishment are composed of youths who were brought here from all parts of the globe to re ceive their education, and to qualify them to disseminate the truths of the Christian religion in their own respective countries. These fine youths are about one hundred in number, and were of every clime, of every shade and co lour, from the fair son of Albion to the jet-black Ethiopian. This soul-stirring academical display commenced by the head-scholar of the Propaganda, Mr. A. Manahan, of New York, who pronounced with considerable elegance of manner and diction a Latin preface; after this the other students in their respective turns, and each in his own native language, recited in prose or in verse an oration in commemoration of our Saviour's being manifested to the world by a star. A dialogue by two Chaldeans created the greatest interest; the singular in onation of their voice was peculiarly striking. They also sung a hymn, which was plaintive and sweet ; there was a mild melody in the notes that pleased the ear and touched the heart. An Arab, from Mount Lebanon, made a long oration; hi s l anguage was energetic and quite electrifying; his style commanding, and flowing with per suasive eloquence ere long his voice will resound in the drear desert of Arabia, expounding to his tribe the Divine Truths of the Gospel, peace and good will to all men. A dialogue by two Chinese from the interior was most in teresting. They are intellig ent l oo ki ng youths, and o f gentle and engaging manners. Mr. Maclntyre, from Prince Edward's Island, recited in the Celtic, whilst orations in English, Irish, and Scotclx, did not sully their bright name, but rather added to the rays of that Star of the East, whose appearance was this day so gloriously celebrated, and which will shed the light of the Gospel into the dark and most remote recesses of the globe, ever resplendent and triumphant. After the recitations, which lasted several hours, the Cardinal, Mezzofante, who speaks forty languages, con versed with the youths in their own native tongue, and the Chinese appeared delighted to find one present able to converse with them. There were present the Bishops of Canada, Tripoli, Bagdad, Aleppo, Damascus, Smyrna, Amena, Candyle, and several mitred Abbots ; also, the celebrated author of the Fall of Jerusalem, and onc: , Ge neral of the famed Black Brunswickers, but now Akbot, Gerard, a Monk of the Order of La Trappe the ex-King Don Miguel, and many Cardinals and distinguished vi sitors were present. The Baron General De Lapplle, a distinguished Prus. sian officer, died a day or two ago ; he was a faithful ad herent of his Royal Highness the King of Prussia's brother, who has resided at Rome many years in perfect seclusion. The obsequies of the General took place this morning, and although a foreigner and a Protestant, the Roman Government ordered his remains to be attended with military honours. FEMALE LIFE INSURANCE.

SIR—In your account of yesterday's proceedings at the nomination for this borough, I observe that, whilst the abu sive language of Mr. Muntz is given at length, my short address at the conclusion of the business is entirely omitted. Your report represents me to have called upon the pre siding officers to demand from Mr. Muntz a withdrawal of the offensive epithet, whereas my application was that I should be permitted to reply. I was then informed that such course could not be permitted until after the show of hands. This error of your reporter is, however, excus able from the noise then prevailing. On my subsequently renewing my claim, the privilege was conceded me, and I addressed the audience to the fol lowing effect :—" I have become mixed up in the business of this day through being engaged in the cause of huma nity—in an effurt to save the lives of three of our fellow creatures. Mr. Muntz now offers to sign the petition to the Queen in their behalf—Joseph Sturge has already, and without the slightest hesitation, headed the list of signa tures; and I think I can afford, and am bound, to make some personal sacrifice at the shrine of so sacred a cause as that in which lam engaged. If Mr. Muntz can forgive himself, I can forgive and endeavour to forget his very un parliamentary language. I believe Mr. Muntz has but an imperfect memory—thinking he recollects what did not occur, and denying what my good memory enables me to recollect. What I have stated is true—that he did refuse to sign a petition properly worded, for the commutation of the sentence of death upon Frost and others, and that he assigned as a reason for such refusal his opinion that an example was necessary. I have no earthly reason for mis representing what actually passed between us; and with your knowledge of the large and unqualified denial of Mr. Muntz in the first instance, and his subsequent admission of my application to him, and his objection to sign, inas much as considerable consideration was necessary, with the evidently defective memory of the lion. candidate as to the evidence against Frost, I think I should be ill jus tified in detainin g you by further comment." I will only add, that my address was :eceived in perfect silence by the asaembled thousands, and followed by a general expression of approbation. Requesting the justice of your early publication of this necessary explanation, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Birmingham, Jan. 24. JAMES ACLAND. WOODCOT MURDER, NEAR HENLEY-ON-THAMES. HENLEY, JAN. 24. Our readers will recollect we were the first to announce the particulars of this horrid deed in May last. Several persons were at the time taken up and examined, but no clue sufficient against any one person was obtained. A very strong suspicion attached to a man named Charles Morley, living in a cottage near that where the poor old murdered widow (Fanny Phillips) resided. He was seve ral times brought before the County Magistrates at Hen ley; and although strong presumptive circumstances were adduc.cl touching his criminality, sufficient evidence was not elicited to warrant his committal for that act, but he was committed for stealing a bag of carpen ters' .tools from the neighbourhood, part of which were found on his premises, and part in the garden of the mur dered widow. For this offence he was tried at the Oxford assizes, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. It appears, after his conviction (having an idea he could not be tried a second time) he told a fellow-prisoner that the old woman's money was hid in the thatch of his cottage. He said when he entered the bed-room she knew him, and her knowledge of his person led him to commit the deed. Stephens, the Henley policeman, 'in con quence of this, searched the thatch, and on telling Morley's wife his errand, she advised him to look near a certain spot, where were found two bags (since sworn to as belonging to the murdered widow), containing in guineas, sovereigns, and other gold coin, upwards of 2501. Steps were immediately taken by the Magistrates to stay his departure to New South Wales, and a communication was made to the Secretary of State to that of oct to t accordingly Morley was brought here to day in custody of Stephens, when an investigation of nearly seven hours took place before the county Magis trates. About twenty witnesses were examined, and from the disclosures made he was fully committed to gaol to take his trial for the murder at the Oxford Assizes, the end of next month. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) JaN. 24.—1 t has been blowing a gale since Sunday last. To-day it rages with double violence. The fleet in our roads ride well. Our only an ivals this morning are two Dutch vessels (a bark and a galliot) ; the Custom-house boat has not been able to return from them. No commu nication with Southampton since the mail steamer.. Three p.m.—The Victoria, which should leave that port at 8 a. m.. is not yet arrived; nor is the Coburg, which should leave at three, expected down. We have had but one steamer from Portsmouth since Saturday last. The steamers now on arc not fit for the station at this season of the year. The barometer has fallen within the last twenty four hours 1.175 inch. The Post-office here doses at 55 minutes past 3; letters till 25 minutes past 4 pay one penny; from that time till 5 p.m. twopence. These sums are not the perquisites of the postmaster, but go to the Government. The letters have increased threefold. THE ROYAL UNION OFFICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,--hi the report of the proceedings at Bow-street, a Mr. Bright is said to have applied for a summons against me to produce the book of pensioners, and appears to have taken upon himself something more than was becoming. He well knows Mr. Bousfield, the collector, could give him all the particulars as to income ; and ho can calculate, as well as I can, the amount paid to one hundred pensioners, and thus satisfy himself that the pensioners have been re ceiving a thousand per annum more than the subscribers have provided. It would have been only fair, if, while he informed the Magistrates that he was a life•subscriber by the payment of ten guineas, he had placed both his fathr•r and mother on the fund, at 181. 4s. and 131, per annum. My share in the whole transaction will shortly be before the nubile ; and the small balance in hand at the Bank, with an annuity and a reversion that may fall in in a year or two, will be distributed by the Court of Chancery. It will then be seen whether I am not a sufferer to a far greater extent, with the exception of two persons, than anybody connected with the Society. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE GLENNY. The ship Lady Raffles, from London to Ply mouth, with numerous passengers, arrived safely at Sydney on the I•?th September—all well on board. The emigrants were all immediately engaged at excellent wages. LOSS OF THE WILLIAM HUSKISSON.—The Lord Mayor yesterday stated in the public office at the Mansion House that he had received a letter in praise of the Noble con duct of Captain Clegg and his crew, and suggesting a subscrip tion for them in London. Flis Lordship •intimated that he would most gladly receive subscriptions if sent to the police room, Mansion House. _ Captain Webster has arrived at the Foreign_ office with despatches from Lord Beaulieu, our Amhassa or at Vienna. Tin , Morning Herald of this day, speaking of Sir Peel's late speech on the privilege question, says:—" his conduct in this matter has given great grief to the friends of constitutional government, and no les; consolation to the Whigs and their adherents. To play the enemy's game after this fashion, and at a time when the great interests of the country are rapidly falling into ruin, is, indeed, miser able work." The Times expresses itseif as follows on the subjet of the proposed grant to Prince Albert :—" a de mand for the Prince, of 50,0001. per annum, is among the most indecorous of those propositions which could be made to Parliament. Had the Government of Economical Re form asked 500,000/., they could scarcely have astonished the country more. We trust that if Mr. Hume's motion be not carried, some other, but equivalent, mode may be struck out for a rational curtailment of the grant." The Morning Chronicle thus alludes to Sir J. Y. Bullet's notice of motion granting for a moment t h e ma j or i ty which the Tories have not courage enough to pretend to hope fur, what would it amount to? Would a vote of no confidence in Lord Melbourne be equivalent to a vote of confidence in Sir R. Peel? If so, it would only be equi valent to an obvious a n d g l ar i ng falsehood. Confidence in Sir R. Peel is a fe e li ng t h at does not exist ill the nature of things. "—Th e M orn i ng Post, referring again to the privilege question, says as soon as th e public comes to think that the impriso nment o f the Sheriffs of London for compliance with the la w i s commendable 'moderation,' the opinion, which the Government seems to w i sh to en courage, of the incapacity of the J u d ges w i ll be contem poraneously established. But not t i ll then." MERTHYR TYDVIL PETITION FOR FROST AND OTHERS. To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty ; The humble petition of the Inhabitants of Merthyr Tydvil and its Neighbourhood; Respectfully showeth,—That your petitioners bare viewed, with sentiments of deep sorrow, the occurrences which took place at Newport, in the County of Mon mouth. These events have formed the subject of a Spe• cial Commission, which has closed its labours by passing sentence of death upon three of the prisoners, —viz., John Frost, Zephaniah Williams, and William Jones. We therefore beg to approach your Majesty's Throne on behalf of these unfortunate men, and their families, for we cannot believe for a moment that they intended to levy war against your Majesty's person or authority. or that their intention was to subvert the Throne and the Constitution ; but that they took part in the proceed ings at the request and desire of tie working-people, whose feelings had been aggrieved and sharpened at find ing Mr. Vincent and his fellow-prisoners were treated so cruelly and harshly. We beg to impress upon your Ma jesty a strong fact, that it has not been proved in evi dence that any one of these men advised or ordered their followers to come in collision with your Majesty's troops, and that they were not guilty of any act of violence to wards any of your Majesty's subjects. We believe that these men have done wrong, and acted contrary to the existing laws ; but we would urge, in the extenuation of their offence, the miserable and distressed condition of the people of your Majesty's realm, which we believe to be the ifoet of misrule and bad government ; which have at all times been the czeses of the discontent and disaffection of the people. We W beg to impress, respectfully but firmly, on your Yajestv's mind, our firm belief that the exe cution of these men, so far from allaying the angry feeling and discontent of the working people, will be the means of filling their bosoms with sentiments of despair and revenge, and will, we have no doubt, have a most powerful effect in destroying that loyalty and alle giance which arc the best and surest safeguard of your Majesty's person and throne. We therefore humbly implore your Majesty's clemency on this occasion, and that you will so exercise the wise prerogative which is vested, :and which is the brightest gem in the British Crown, and so temper justice with mercy, as to grant a full and free pardon to these unfor tunate men, so that through your Majesty's clemency they may live to see their errors, be a blessing to their families, and an example to society at large. And your petitioners will ever pray. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—1 t seems that the first ball at Court will be on the 28th of this month, and Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, will be here at that time. BRUSSELS, JAN. 22.—The average price of Wheat last week was 23f. and that of Rye 13f. 86c. The regulations of the import and export duties, therefore, remain un changed. At the commencement of the sitting of the Chamber to day, M. de Villigas required that a petition, desiring that Foreign corn should be assimilated to an article of mer chandize, which should be liable to an import duty of Thirty-three per Cent. should be referred to the Sections, with instructions to make a report without delay. This proposal was agreed to. The order of the day was the continuation of the debate on the budget of the Minister of Public Works, the amount of which was fixed at 9,036,631 f. which was agreed to by a majority of 56 to 6. The inundation of the Leure has spread, and if it had riseu a little higher the railroad from Brussels to Vilvorde would have been under water. ROME, JAN. 7.—We learn from good authority that the negotiations with Portugal are likely to lead to a favour able result. On the other hand, a regulation of the affairs of the Church in Spain, is not to be looked for at present. The Duke of Bordeaux, who is gone to Naples, will stay there till the 20th. On his return he will stop here only a few days, end then return without further stay in Italy to Goritz. ROME, JAN. 9--The Hanoverian Ambassador, M. Kest ner, yesterday presented to the Pope, Lord Meath, Lord Bruce, Lord Emlyn, and Lord de Mawlcy, and Sir F. Adam, late Governor of the lonian Islands. The Pope received theni with his usual affability, and conversed a considerable time with them. lie takes particular interest in every thing relative to England, where the Roman Ca tholic religion has lately made such considerable progress. —Allyenicine Zeitung.
