On last New Year's evening, the past year and present Shook hands, and convers'd in a style rather pleasant. how d'ye do?' said the Old Year, addressing the New; " Well, I'm hcely, I thank you, old friend, how are you?" Thus awhile did they chat, and, before they had done, They touch'd on the projects of MOSES and SON. " I have often felt proud (said the Year that is past), When a glance on the warehouse of MOSES I cast; For this vast speculation—this trading domain— Op‘n'd all its vast premises during my reign. Whenever I look at this mercantile throne I rejoice that my honours will rival your own." " Stop! stop I (said .the Present Year), talk not so fast, I'll prove that the present shall rival the past. Although in your ' mayoralty' much has been done By those wonderful tradesmen, E. MOSES and SON, Don't suppose for one instant that less will appear At MOSES and SON'S in the present new year. 'ON! ON is the maxim on which they would fix, And thus will they rival the year Forty-six. The year Forty-seven, long, long ere it closes Will add a fresh wreath to the laurel of MOSES. ONE WORD OF THANKS. On an annual occasion like this we would thank Our numberless patrons, whatever their rank; Our warmest acknowledgments let us express, Bine.. the Forty-six has display'd such success; And let us make promise that much shall be done.

PORTSMOITTR, TITIIRSDAY.—The Daphne, 18, Captalti Onslow, sailed this morning, in charge of a pilot, for the eastward, to be paid off. A court of inquiry assem bled on board her yesterday, at Spithead, to investigate the cause of her getting ashore on the Horse shoat The result has, of course, not transpired. The Resistance troop ship, Commander G. Lowe, completed the embarkation of her troops yesterday, and was towed out to Spithead this morning by the Echo. The Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Moorman, is hourly expected here from Plymouth, orders being down for her to be docked, and the bearings of her screw (which are reported defective) examined, and other de fects made good. The Nelson, 120, advanced ship, which was brought down a few days since and examined, apparently with the prospect of speedy commission, was taken back to her moorings yesterday; from which it is augured the Neptune, 120, is the ship intended to fill the post of flag ship at this port, vice St. Vincent, 120, which is expected to take the place of tha Victory, as an ancient ordinary guard-ship, but to he kept in a sea going state. There are no orders down yet as to what ship shall he built upon the new slip in this dock3ard, now vacant by the launch of the Dauntless screw steam-frigate, but it is expects d that a splendid frigate of 50 glow, to be called the Shannon, in commemoration of the ever-memorable action between the Sliumnon and the Chesapeake, and to perpetuate the name and fame of the good ship which was the victor in that celebrated national strm?gle (now the St. Lawrer - ;3 receiving. ship at Sheerness) will be shortly laid down upon the above slip. The Thetis is to take in the slop clothing ordered for Malta on Saturday, and sail for Lisbon on Monday, with officers and supernumeraries for the squadron in the Ta gus, and then go on to Malta. The Penelope has got her orders. She is to sail on Saturday for Ascension, touching at the Cape de Verds. A number of officers, marines, and about 100 disposable boys for the squadron, under the orders of Commodore Sir Charles Florham, are to go in her; also a commander to join the Devastation, and bring her to England. The Naiad store-ship will have taken in all that is to be sent out in her by to-morrow. She is to sail on Saturday for the Brazils, and there discharge fifty boys for distribution in the squadron, under the orders of Com modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.B. She then goes round Cape Horn, and at Valparaiso will discharge 150 more boys for service in the South American squadron. The Naiad will ultimately be a coal depot; she has 700 tons on board. Orders have been sent down to know in how short a time the Retribution steam frigate can be got ready for sea, her services being required to convey biscuit meal to Ireland. Orders have also been sent to enter stout, able men for the Birkenhead and Rosamond steamers,,,,, the services of these vessels being immediately required. The Medea steamer is • ordered here from Woolwich, and is intended to be sent to the West Italics. Officers appointed to ships on that station are directed to hold themselves in readiness to proceed in her. The Scourge steamer is refitting alongside the dock yard, and when ready will be kept in a fit state to pro ceed to Lisbon, to rejoin Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron. The following officers are appointed to study at the Naval College :—Captain R. F. Stopford and Commanders E. M. Lyons, 11. S. Hawker, and J. B. West. Several persons connected with the town and garrison have subscribed for and presented a piece of plate to Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir H. Pakenham, the Lieutenant-Governor, on his relinquishing the command of the south-western district. SURREY THEATRE.—This favourite place of amuse ment (the first of the minors) has been filled to over flow every evening since Christmas. Stirling's Hand at Cards are really trumps, and The King of the Castle has been crowned with complete success. A more brilliant victory for the author of the pantomime (Mr. B. S. Fairbrother) could not be achieved. So great has been the attraction of The King of the Castle, or Harlequin and the Land of _Dreams, that the " Old Surrey " has been thronged with smiling faces, and overwhelming plaudits have been showered on the beautiful effects in the new pantomime. The comic portion is supported by the talented Deulin family, who arc decidedly the best pantomimists of the day. We wish the liberal lessee (Mrs. Davidge) a continuance of her brilliant sue-. cess for the spirited manner she is keeping up the re spectability of her theatre- WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—The - Cottrt left Windsor for Claremont this afternoon. Mr. Anson, who has not quite recovered from the effects of his late accident, will remain at the Castle a few days longer, and then proceed to relieve Colonel Phipps at Claremont. According to present arrangements the Court will re main at Claremont for about a week, but should any circumstances arise to call for the holding of a Privy Council before the expiration of that time, her Majesty will return to 'Windsor Castle fur that purpose, it is understood. SUICIDE I ROM LONDON BRIDGE. About one o'clock yesterday morning a man, about 45 years of age, was observed to be pacing backwards and forwards on London-bridge, when he suddenly went into the middle arch on the south side, deliberately ascended the parapet, and sprung into the river, and, although an alarm was given and boats put out immediately, be was unfortu nately drowned. A Court of Compensation was held yesterday at the Horns at Kennin4ton, for the purpose of assessing the value of the Rose public house, Westminster-bridge road, which is required by the South Western Railway Company for the extension to liunzerforti-bridge. The landlord, Mr Dawson, claimed :3,824/. for the value of the property, and compensation for loss of business. The jury awarded 2,319/. for the whole. - MR. WARLEY, M.P.—We regret to learn that continued indisposition detains the lion. Member for Finsbury in the country, and prevents him resuming the duties of Coroner for the present. It is, however, ex pected that in a few days Mr. Wakley will be sufficiently restored to convalescence to be enabled to appear in his sent in the House of Commons at the opening of Parlia ment, and to attend also to his court. GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 20L—Yesterday the half-mile race between Mitchell, of Wandsworth, and Massey, of London, came off at Mitcham, for 201. At the start Massey took the lead, which he maintained for 500 yards, when his opponent came up, and a spirited race ensued, and which terminated by Mitchell coming in the winner, having accomplished the distance in two minutes and twenty-nine seconds. ROYAL THAMES YACHT Cum—Yesterday the m. mthly meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club took place at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden ; the new club room was !opened to the members. The following gen tlemen were elected members of the club :—Archibald Low, Esq., Thomas Ripinghall, Esq., John Shakspear, Esq., Thomas Bailey, Esq., and George Murray, Esq. The annual ball was fixed to take place on Thursday, the 18th of February. ACCIDENT TO THUMWOOD'S WINDSOR COACH.--- Yesterday afternoon a collision took place on the Great Western Road, opposite Holland Park. As Thumwood's Windsor coach, which leaves Piccadilly about five o'clock, was proceeding on its return journey, it came into collision with a Brougham, in which were two ladies, when by the force of the concussion three gentlemen and a female, who were outside passengers, were with the driver, thrown with great violence into the road, and both vehicles were nearly overturned. Immediate as sistance was rendered, and it was found that they had fortunately escaped injury, with the exception of a few bruises. The driver of the Brougham was also thrown off, but the ladies inside escaped injury. The offside trace of the coach with the lamp, and the offside lamp of the Brougham, were broken by the accident. Neither vehicle had the lamps lighted. The well and w - orkS - in Orange-street, Leicester square, from which the fountains in Trafalgar-square, with the Houses of Parliament and Government offices in the vicinity have been supplied, are about to pass into the hands of a private company, just established, for supplying the metropolis with water from this source. Another well will for this purpose shortly be sunk, in connexion with the present establishment, from which, during the last two seasons, the supply for watering the streets in St. Martin's parish and the Whitehall district has been obtained. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—About eight o'clock list night, a respectably dressed man entered the shop of Mr. Perry, watchmaker, 139, Oxford-street, under the pre tence of purchasing a silver watch. Mr. Perry placed several before his customer, who requested Mr. Perry to show him some others. hilst Mr. Perry was reaching a tray from the other end of the shop, the fellow took the opportunity to possess himself of one of those lying on the counter, and immediately made off with it. The act was so sudden, that it was some time before Mr. Perry could go itt pursuit of the thief, who got clear off with the property. DEATH OF Two FEMALES DURING SLEEP.—Yes terday two inquests were taken by Mr. W. Carter, on the bodies of persons who died under very sudden and awful circumstances. The first case was investigated itt Mr. Mortram's, the Horse and Groom, High-street, Newington, on the body of Miss Ann Long, aged 63 . years, of 12, Church-row, High-street. The dece ase d was a maiden lady of independent property, a nd__ occu pied apartments at the house of Mr. Jo seph the h servant aOn Saturday night the deceased h g "wehich had been pre scriptionpre- for a composing draug ht, Simpson. it by a a Me.

The deceased was a single woman, and of remarkable habits. She had an income sufficient to keep her in comfortable circumstances, but of late years she was well-known by the neighbours to be of a saving and miserly disposition. On Friday last the deceased was missed by the landlord and the other neighbours, and as some suspicion was excited, a policeman was called, who forced her room door, when she was discovered lying on the bed in her night-dress. A surgeon was calle in, who pronounced life to have been extinct many hours. The jury, in each case, returned a verdict of Natural death." SUICIDE or A PERSON OF PROPERTY. —The Courrier de la Gironde states that a feiv days ago Mr. Charles Warre, a person of large property at Hamburgh, but residing at Bordeaux, left his home and made his way to the wood on the hill of Cenon la Bastide, and th( re hung himself on a tree. That he was in a state of insanity there can be no doubt, as he had previously been an inmate of a lunatic asylum, and yet he had had the preeaution of taking his watch, his money, and his keys from his pockets, and leaving them on a table in his apanraent. WORCESTER HOP MARKET, JAN. 6. We have but little business doing in this market, but the prices we last quoted are fully maintained.j LONDON, FRIDAY nVENING SUN, JANUARY 8, 1847. No. 16,944. TO the SHAREHOLDERS of the BIRMING HAM and OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY. The shareholders in this Company are aware, from the course which was adopted at the general meetings, held in November and December last, of the strong dissatisfaction entertained by an in fluential body of their brother 'shareholders with the proceedings of the Directors, both as regards the proposed amalgamation with the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton line, and the proposed sale of the two undertakings conjointly to the Great. Western Company. At both meetings distinct notice was given, in the most formal manner, that these questions would be submitted for the re-consi deration of the proprietors, so soon as those then entitled to hold the shares were enabled, by obtaining the transfer and symbol of their property, to give their votes upon subjects of such vital importance to the shareholders. Upon general principles the dissenting shareholders allpopposed to anything that would bear the character of repudiation; but the un precented circumstances connected with this case (amongst which the following are most prominent) fully warrant them in the course they have adopted. 'I he non-issue of the certificates for the shares for upwards of four months, the consequent impossibility of obtaining legal transfers ; the admission by the Chairman himself of the fact of a refusal to re gister transfers ; the extraordinary circumstance that before the cer tificates were issued, and when, therefore, none of the changes of property which had taken place since the passing of the Act could be recognised, and the real owners of the shares were thus precluded from expressing their opinion as to the disposition of their own pro perty, the Directors call a special meeting, for no less an object than to alter the nature of the property by an amalgamation with - another undertaking (not being authorised to do so by any power in their Act, owing to which most inadequate terms were offered for the Birming• han and Oxford line itself), and then to sell the line so amalgamated —a proceeding equally unauthorised by their Act —clearly justify the holders of the shares in the Birmingham and Oxford Railway, who are dissatisfied with the result of these irregular proceedings, in re sisting to the utmost of their power the accomplishment of the ob jects so proposed, and in protecting their property and interests by those means which the law has provided. The dissentient share• holders Ns ere satisfied that, as soon as the opinions of the real holders of the shares could be ascertained, these views would be readily , responded to ; and all doubt upon this subject is now re moved by the large measure of support which . they have already received, placing beyond a question the fact that a considerable majority of the shareholders are decidedly opposed to the arrangements proposed by the Directors, and are determined to annul them, and to secure for the Birmingham and Oxford Company at least as good terms as those offered by the London and North Western Company-151. per share premium. • The shareholders are well aware of the argument which has been adduted by the Directors to justify their proceedings—that in conse quence of the views entertained by Parliament on the subject of com petition, there was no alternative but to dispose of this line to the Great Western Company, although the result might be that they must haye . It ontheir own terms. To this it is replied — firstly , that the Directors, in making terms, were at least bound, as trustees tirr the proprietors) to obtain a full value for their property; and the uni versal admission that the Birmingham and Oxford is a ten per cen'. line (more was originally stated), sufficiently indicates, without further reference to the offer of the London and North-Western Company, that the price offered by the great Western is inadequate. Secondly, as thin dissenting shareholders consider that the only result which can be expected from competition is to secure (ultimately) the lowest charges to the public consistent with safety, they contend that this would have been more cer tainly and readily accomplished by an arrangement with the London and North-Western Company, who, while they are ready to give increased terms to the Birmingham and Oxford proprietors, are also prepared to secure to the public a scale of charges lower than those provided for by the Birmingham and Oxford Act, and con siderably lower than those of the Great Western Railway. As the dissentient shareholders are now desirous of at once com pleting their arrangemonts for effecting the objects above alluded to, and as they will be greatly facilitated by a knowledge of the entire support they may rely upon, they request that their brother shareholders who concur with them in opinion will tra emit their names, with the number of shares held by them, without delay, to the following parties :—Mr. E. J. Mozley, Liverpool; Mr. Thomas Gasquoine, 15, New Market-buildings, Manchester, Messrs. CO more and Beale, solicitors, Birmingham, by whom any necessary information will be furnished ; and all shareholders are particularly requested to retain their proxies until applied to by the Committee of the dissentient shareholders.

The Committee have now concluded the arrangement with the London and South-Western Company, enabling them to make the return of 20s. per share on the shares in this Company. They have also received a guarantee from the London and South-Western Company for payment of the further sum of 30s. per share on each of the shares in this C, mpany, in the event of the Bill for which the said London and South-Western Company intend to apply to Parliament, in the next session, for making a railway in continuation of or out of the Basingstoke and Salisbury Railway at Salisbury to Yeovil, obtaining the Royal assent.

FALLING OF A HOUSE IN BEDFORDBURY.—Yes terday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the ut most alarm prevailed in Bedfordbury, in consequence of the falling in of a house in that street. It appears that the premises in question, No. 45, Bedfordbury, had for some time past been in a state of dilapidation, and were now under repair by Mr. Newman, the builder, of Brewer-street, Pimlico. During the last few weeks the place had been under the charge of a female, who was in the house at the time of the occurrence. Several work men were engaged yesterday about the shop lately occu pied by a Mr. Cole, a plumber, and at the named hour, one of them about to cross the road had his attention attracted by the falling in of a portion of the wall on the exterior of the premises. He immediately raised an alarm, when the rest of the workmen came out, and in a few moments after there was a terrific noise produced by the falling in of the first floor, and the partition that divides the passage from the shop, besides a quantity of bricks, &c., from the upper rooms. Some fears were at first entertained that the woman was smothered, but she was fortunately at the rear of the premises at the time, and after the confusion was over she was rescued without being wo a o t L a w injured.

On Wednesday an office for granting letters of marque and reprisal, according to the decrees of the Mexican Government, was first opened in the vicinity of the Tower, being the first time that an occurrence of the kind has happened during the last 40 years in England. The following are extracts from the official ordinances of the Mexican Government relating to this t übject:- " TO WHOM AND WITH WHAT CONDITIONS LETTERS OF MARQUE HAVE To BE GIVEN. " Art. 1. To obtain letters of marque against the Uni'ed States during the present war, a patent from the Supreme Government will be required, which will be granted in the form and under the conditions prescribed in this regulation.

" Art. 3. Every individual who may wish to arm one or more privateers shall deposit for each one a capital of not less than $4,000 should the vessel not exceed 100 tons, or $B,OOO if of a larger burden ; or shall give se curity for like amount, to the satisfaction of the person who may furnish the patent. "TO WHOM To APPLY FOR OBTAINING SAID PATENTS. " Art. 4. The requisition shall be addressed to the Supreme Government in the territory of the Republic, through the respective governors ; and in foreign coun tries through the consuls, or authorised agents for this purpose. " Art. 5. In the requisition shall be minutely ex pressed everything that may be necessary to give a cir cumstantial account of the vessel destined to cruise, its tonnage, force, equipment, and crew, on the understand ing that it shall not be less than 60 tons. " Art. 6. With letters of marque will also be given to the parties interested letters of commission for those in charge of the prizes, if they should solicit them, to the number which th e fu nc ti onar y d e li ver i ng t h e sa id patent may consider necessaiy, having in view.the-appointment , of the vessel. "ON THE PRJTECTION WHICH HAS TO BE GIVEN TO THE OWNERS. " Art. 9. The naval commanders, harbour masters, and other local autho r iti es shall afford to the owners and captains of the privateers all the protection which they may need, and which may be in their power, in everything conducive to the quick armament of the ves sels, permitting them to receive all the persons they may require, excepting those who may be in actual service on board the national vessels of war, coercing those who may resist to obey their orders, and prosecuting de serters, who shall be condemned to six years' service in the army or navy, if they should be apprehended after the privateer shall have matte sail. " Art 10. Likewise they shall be furnished with arms of every description, powder, and shot, when they may be asked for and the service may not want them, giving out to them these last articles at the cost or costs, with a credit at the most of six months; if they should not be able to make immediate payment, to take sufficient security for it. That which they may not consume during the period they shall return, the value thereof being credited to them. " Art. 11. In case of shipwreck, or the vessel being taken, they shall be freed from all responsibility, both themselves and their securities, the loss or seizure being fully proved. "ON THE RIGHTS OF THOSE EMPLOYED TN CRUISING, AND THE PRIVILEGES GRANTED TO THEM. " Art. 12. All those who may be employed on board of privateering vessels shall be subject, in their internal police and regulations, to the ordinances of the navy, and shall enjoy the rights of the navy in all that may not relate to prizes. " Art. 15. The individuals out of their crews who may be disabled from wounds received in action, and without the necessary supplies for their subsistence, shall have the same privileges as invalids of the navy, each one according to his class, and in conformity with the reports made by captains and commanders of the privateers, also consulting thereon the respective com manders of the naval department. " Art. 16. The widows of those who may die from like causes, and who should also be left without re sources, shall enjoy pensions which the Supreme Govern ment may be pleased to grant them. "ON THE ADJUDICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. " Art. 17. The owners and other individuals who may be employed privateering ahall have entirely adjudicated to them, and without any reserve whatsoever, the prizes which they make, under the following regulation:- " Art. 18. Moreover, should the vessels taken be of war, a gratuity of 60 dolls. shall be given for every canyon that may exceed twelve inclusively, 40 dolls, if they should exceed four, also inclusively; and 20 dolls. for every prisener of the enemy's force; the amount of this gratuity exclusively belongs to the captain, subal terns, marines, and sailors of the privateering vessels, amongst whore it will be divided according to the wages which they may receive. " WHAT VESSELS AND EFFECTS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED OF LAWFUL SEIZURE. " Art. 24. Of lawful seizure are " 1. Vessels of the enemy with all that they may carry on board belonging to them, whether of war, privateers, or merchant vessels. " 2. The cargo and effects of neutrals and Mexicans which may be found ou board these said vessels, after sufficient time has elapsed for the declaration of war, proclaimed by the Government of the United States to the Mexican nation, being known. " 3. Vessels constructed by the enemy, or which may have belonged to the enemy, if the property be not suffi ciently accredited or neutral. " 4. Those which may be navigated without patents or register that may prove their neutrality, their entire cargo, or part thereof, being, if they should be found in the same predicament, for want of the indispensable papers, the act alone of throwing papers into the sea, shall be sufficient motive for declaring them lawful seizure. " 5. Those which may be found without legal patent of sovereignty, state, or republic, having the authority for granting it. " 6. Those which may have it from one or more Powers. " 7. Those who may fight under other colours than the sovereign or state to whom their patent belongs. If these vessels, and those comprised in the foregoing para graphs, should be armed for war, their captains and officers shall be reputed as pirates. " 8. Those which, after the national flag is hoisted, should refuse to lie to, and should provoke combat. e u. Those which may navigate with the patent of the enemy in the terms expressed in the second paragraph. " 10. Those belonging to Mexicans and neutrals which may be armed for privateering under the Mexican flag, without having obtained permission from the Supreme Government, and accredited with the patent, their captains shall be treated as pirates. " 11. Those of pirates and mutineers returning to their owners should they appear within one year and a day, and those also who can prove not to have taken part, directly or indirectly, in piracy, separating a third part of _their total value for the benefit of those making the seizure.

TO THE LADIES, This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an l is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product e the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing .xlour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair oil ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence ou the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The steeple-chase match between the Earl of C and J. R. Cornwall, Esq., for 500/. a-side, which w g as to have taken place yesterday over the Mark e t Harborou h country, has been postponed till Tuesday, th e 9th of March. Mr. Cornwall was anxious for the event to have been decided yesterday, but his opponent objected, on MEXICO, The following is .a letter from General Santa Anna:— " San Luis Potosi, Nov. 19, 1846. " My esteemed Friend,—Various persons interested in my good name inform me by last post that my ene mies in the capital have, spread the tale that the late conversion of the English debt, effected by Don Manuel Escandon, has been approved with my consent; and, as this assertion is entirely contrary to truth, and at the same time injurious to my reputation, I request you to make known to the public, through the press, that so far have I been from approving this transaction, that I have done everything in my power to prevent the consumma tion of such an iniquity. Ever since I learned at the Ilavannah from Don Ignacio Loperena that Escandon had gone to London with that object, I wrote to my friends there to oppose his views, and on my return to Vera Cruz, I wrote to the same effect to the capital, learning afterwards with satisfaction, at my estate of the Encero, that the Government had disapproved an ope ration which would leave us without resources, and aug ment considerably that unfortunate London debt, which is the cancer of the republic. To Don Antonio de Haro I re .ommended, at Tuctihaya, the fulfilment of his pre decessor's resolution on this subject, and, above all, that he should leave the decision of the affair entirely to the extraordinary Congress, in consideration of its import ance. I was lately informed by General Salas, that the said Minister, by his own sole authority, had approved, in the name of the Government, the conversion of the debt ELS effected by Escandon, and that, disregarding the difficulties which the affair presented, he relinquished some hundreds of thousands of dollars which the Go. vernment might have obtained, if obliged to give its approbation, and without considering the afflicting cir cumstances of the republic, and compromising, perhaps, the fate of its valiant and enduring army, he had applied to the payment of dividends sums which would now afford us prompt and effective assistance.' . This news surprised me to such a degree that I could not but write to Senor Hare, begging him, by the friendship which unites us, to vindicate himself to the public from what I believed to be a mistake, or a calumny of his enemies. Unfortunately, as is now notoriour, this friend did com mit the error referred to, although, in reply to my let ter, he assured me that he was about to give a proper explanation t) the public. I ha , e felt this affair most sensibly, as it was I who recommended Senor Haro for the Ministry, and because from it, and the sincere friendship which I entertained for him, parties interested in calumniating me have sought to draw conclusions un favourable to my reputation, involving me in the cloud of vile fabrications which they spread in 1844 in order to sacrifice me with impunity. It is painful to me to make this statement when it concerns a man like Senor Haro, to whom I was warmly attached; but I believe that my silence would occasion my conduct to be misin terpreted at the pleasure of my enemies. For this rea son I have determined to break silence in defence of my honour, which I am bound zealously to guard. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE - SANTA ANNA." FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. s.—On Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, a number of persons, and especially a crowd of artists, attended the funeral of Mr. Lombard Nieuwen huys, at Laacken. Mr. Nieuwenhuys has left a fortune of above a million, which he acquired by dealing in pictures. He resided at Paris, and was very well known in England. His two brothers, his partners, live, ore iu London, and the other at Brussels. A meeting of the ironmasters of the province of Liege and of the province of Hainault took place two or three days ago, at Brussels. The two opinions which divide this branch of manufactures, viz., whether the import duty of foreign cast iron should be reduced or main tained, had their representatives at this meeting, which was held in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. If we are righly informed, the result of this conference was such that the project of changing the tariff of customs with respect to foreign cast iron, may be considered as wholly abandoned. Their Majesties the King and Queen came from Laacken to the palace at Brussels yesterday, about noon. Her Majesty was visited in the afternoon by Monsigneur de Saint Marzan, the Apostolic Nuncio, and by Lady Seymour, wife of the English Ambassador. The Bishop of Ghent has just made an appeal to the charity of East and West Flanders. He has established a relief committee at Ghent. "Food, clothes, fuel," says that respectable prelate, "everything is want ing by more than 150,000 poor in the villages of East Flenders alone, and the last winter has exhausted every resource. The more wealthy inhabitants of the rural districts have imposed enormous sacrifices on themselves for the relief of the unfortunate, and many of them are in a state of embarrassment in consequence of their liberality and their bounties to their poor and perishing neighbours. The resources of the benevolent societies are exhausted, and the grants which the Legislative Chambers have allowed them are scarcely sufficient to afford even a rye loaf daily to each family for some weeks." The parish priests and pastors state that even hope now abandons them, unless aid more powerful than there is comes to their immediate relief. The rich, say they, who pass the fine season in the country have now returned to town ; if we call upon them to advccate the cause of the poor, we are received the first time they give us something, but the second time we meet with refusals from some, who allege the distress in the city ; others say that they are nut at home. What we are able to collect from the few is utterly insufficient, we must necessarily seek for some other means to meet the general distress." Let us say, to the honour of our reverend fellow-labourers, they have done their duty, and surely deserve at our hands that we should support them by every means in our power. For this purpose we have prayed for the blessing of God upon our efforts; we have established a relief com mittee for the poor of the country districts of East Flanders. On tha 4th of January a list of subscriptions will be opened. We subscribe at the head of it the sum of 1,200 francs, and we even engage to double this sum if some generous persons will advance us the money, without interest, for the term of one year. Count Felix de Merodo has just written to the Bishop of Ghent that he promises to remit to the relief committee the sum of 250 francs per month for the months of February. March, and April. The marriage of the Count Trapani with the daughter of the Archduke Charles of Austria is spoken of. This event is connected with the presence of Prince Felix de Schwartzenberg, the Austrian Minister at Naples. The Nurenburg Correspondent affirms that the rela tions of the Court of Naples with the Cabinet of the Tuilleries are much impaired since the Spanish mar riages. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bancsne, JAN. 4.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN CHANDLE, 17TH LANCERS.— This distinguished officer died at the head-quarters of the corps at Dundalk, on the 29th ult. He first entered the service as a private soldier. In 1811 he was pre sented with an ensigncy in the infantry, from which he subsequently exchanged into the cavalry. In 1812 he was gazetted to a lieutenantcy, and late - in the same year to a captaincy. His commissions were purchased by hard service alone.' He served during the campaign of 1790, in Holland, including the actions of the 2d and 6th of October. He also took part in the siege of Malta, and was present at the surrender of La Valetta and the battle of Maida. In 1807 he accompanied the expedition to Egypt. In 1809 he served in the lonian Islands, and witnessed the siege and capture of Santa Maria. He was wounded before Rosetta in 1807. Captain Chandle, in 1828, was appointed Paymaster of the 17th Lancers, of which, it will be remembered, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge is Colonel. FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN AGED FEMALE. —Last evening an inquest was held at G u y 's Hospital, before Mr. W. Payne, relative to the death of Mary Bateman, of Morgan's-lane, Tooley•s treet a maiden lady, aged 72 years, whose death was occasioned by being run over by a cab on the 14 th ult. From the statement of a police-constable and other witnesses, it appeared that about twenty minutes before seven o'clock on the evening in question, the deceased, who was deaf and very in firm, was crossing Blackfriars-road from Great Char lotte-street to Rowland Hill's Chapel, when a cab knocked her down and ran over her. She was instantly picked,up and conveyed to Mr. Braby's, surgeon, where it was found that her thigh was broken, and she was brought to the hospital. She expired on Tuesday last. Verdict, " Accidental death." DEATH BY FIRE--Mrs. Lucy Legge, a lady who occupied apartments in the house No. 31, Sidmouth• street, Regent-square, while standing near the drawing room stove, fell suddenly into the fire, in consequence of a fit, and was severely burnt. This painful event occurred several days ago, and the utmost care was of course bestowed upon th e un f ortunate sufferer ; unhap pily, however, witkout success. She expired on the 6th instant. teen, d saga, oulide► Rear - .road► ne ar hoar F , of race , late i
