In her deli neations of character, there is much of originality and truth ; in her sentiments, a spirit of honour and virtue ; and in the con duct of her story, a manifest desire to do good ; and these, in combination with vtit, humour, and pathos, all natural, and all true. In summing up our opinion of ' Marian,' we can only say that we think it the best novel Mrs. Hall has written." —Morning Herald. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

The Prince believes that justice has not been done to the character of his illustrious uncle ; that his views have been misunderstood even by his warmest admirers, and with this feeling he applies himself to the task of dispelling many of the prejudices enter tained against the character of Napoleon. The chief ,value, however,, of the work is the insight it affords us into the opinions of one, who, should another revolution occur in France, is by far the most likely man to be called to the throne."—Courier..

The Times of this day observes, with reference to Sir J Y. Buller's motion in the Commons :—" The resolution of the great Conservative party, to turn over a new leaf with the public enemy has been the seasonable result of ripened circumstances, and will be satisfied by ano less fruitful harvest than that which the whole country requires of its champions—the absolute and final incapacitation of the present Government to outrage the dignity, or undermine :he prosperity of the land by a longer continuance in those offices from which wiser and better men are excluded."— The Morning Chronicle thus expresses itself on :he subject of-the " Want-of-Confidence" motion :—" It stands on re cord that on a great occasion like this the leading men and ablest orators of the Tory party have shrunk from the comparisons which they themselves provoked ; shrunk from grappling with one great question, bringing one specific charge, attacking one leading measure, or pointing out one single benefit which would result to one single portion of her Majesty's dominions from the substitution of a Tory for a Whig Administration. The characteristic feature of the debate on the Tory side has been the cxtreme anxiety to turn the discussion as much as possible upon vague, unmeaning generalities and frivol ous personal details."—The .111olning Herald, alluding to the late important debate in the Commons, observes : " The Parliamentary Radicals treat their Whiz gods, as some savage tribes do their wooden idols. They beat, kick, and cuff them one day, and prostrate themselves be fore them the next. They talk of them with contempt and disgust to the people out of doors, but they render them suit and service on all important occasions within the walls of Parliament. Thus they throw dust in the eyes of the masses, and keep all the time a snug corner in the Ministerial favour for them selves. Radical patriritisra is not at all inconsistent with a keen look-out for the golden smiles of Whig pa tronage."—The Morning Post, with its accustomed sa gacity, discovers that it was the Ministers, not the Tories, who wore defeated on Sir J. Y. Buller's motion. The following are the terms in which our contemporary an nounces this astounding discovery :—" The question was a direct, explicit aflirmrtion that the Government of this country, as at present constituted, did not possess the confidence of the House of Commons. A majority of those who voted, excluding those connected with the Go vernment, voted in favour of' this affirmation. But taking into the account some forty persons connected with the Government, and having a direct personal and pecuniary interest in its continuance, as at present constituted, there was a majority of twenty-one against the affirmation. Can this be considered a triumph ? Is it not rather a virtual defeat, though not formally so ?" SIR R. PEEL'S FIRST PARLI4AIENTARY DINNER.—On Saturday evening the Right Hon.

The effect of the principle of Mutual Assurance, so tA It ItIED OUT, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent. declared for the ensuingyear, upon the Premiums of Members of F.ve Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed on ata justifying the expectation of the continuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the remaining terni of life. This abatement of FORTY per cent., the amount being laid out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third of the amount of the existing Policy.

A short bludgeon in the possession of Carnelly, and which was used upon the head and body of Mr. Winder, is a cane about a foot in length, with a roun d b all of lead at be end, covered with leather, and from its shattered condition seems to have done much service.

PRICE sd. PREPARATIONS FOR THE MAR RIAGE OF THE QUEEN. The preparations for the nuptials of her Majesty with Prince Albert commenced with great activity on Monday last, under the immediate superintendence of the Depart ment of Works. True CHAPEL. —This edifice, in which the ceremony is to take place, has undergone a complete. metamorphosis. It will be recollected that the interior was extremely simple in its ccnstruction, and limitedi n its accommoda tion. It was erected, we believe, from a design of Sir Robert Smirke, about three years back, the Queen's closet, pews, and altar, being formed of, or lined with, oak, of Gothic pattern, and, as it was principally intended for the Royal Household alone, the pews did not comprise seats for more than about one hundred and twenty persons, in cluding the choir. The ceiling is of beautiful panel fret work, and the whole had a very chaste appearance. The position is north and south, and the Queen's Closet, or Gallery, is at the former end, facing the altar. Over the altar is a large Gothic window without ornament. The Queen's Cl oset was hung with rich cloth drapery, and was approached from the Palace through a gallery on a level with the Drawing-room suite, through which her Majesty always passed, entering the Palace by the garden-gate in St. James's Park. On the left of the Closet is a gallery, or pew, for the re ception of her Mejestys immediate attendants, and beyond this, in a recess, is the organ, at which Sir George Smart presides.- On the right of the Royal Closet are two other galleries, or pews, fcr the convenience of Peeresses and other members of the Household; while in the pews below, the Nobility, or occasional visitors to the Chapel, are ad mittcd. The pulpit is close tee the altar, on the right. With it view to increase the sittings for the reception of those who, by right or courtesy, claim to be present at the wedding, extensive alterations became necessary, and by the judicious arrangements of the officers of the Board of Works, this has been accomplished so as to affurd seats for about 500. This has been done by erecting gal leries on each side of the Chapel from end to end, with two rows of seats ; these galleries being support ing by light Gothic pillars, and with light iron rails in front, harmonizing with the character of the building. The fronts of the three pews we have described have been removed, so as to connect them with the galleries, and within them a succession of raised seats have been constructed, thus affording an uninterrupted view of the aisle beneath, as well as of the altar. Her Majesty's Closet has also under gone a change. Here a succession of seats has also been introduced capable of receiving about forty visitors, and this portion of the Chapel is to be devoted to the special accommodation of the Foreign Ministers. The pews beneath will be devoted principally to those distinguished individ ua l s w h o w ill f orm part of the proces sion from the Palace to the Chapel, and who will take their positions in such order as will enable them on the re-formation of the procession on its return to the Palace, under the direction of Sir Willi4m Woods, to resume their places with as little confusion as possible. The members of the Royal Family will assemble on each side of the altar, and the space in front will be reserved for the Illus trious Couple, with their appointed attendants. The ALTAR will be lined with velvet, and richly hung with drapery, and over the Communion Table will be a rich display of Communion Plate. State chairs and devo tional stools of the most tasteful description, will be placed for the use of her Majesty and the King Consort, while the floorthroughout will be covered with a rich carpet of purple and gold. BUCKINGHAM PALA CR. —On the morning or the auspicious day, her Majesty, the Duchess of Kent, the Bridesmaids, or train bearers (twelve in number), awl the Officers of State, will assemble in Buckingham Palace, and go from thence, in procession, to the garden entrance of St. James's Palace, by which her Majesty will proceed, up the Grand Stair-ease, to the Queen's Closet or Privy Council Cham ber, immediately behind the Throne-room, where she will remain till the order of the Procession is arranged in front of the Throne, of which her Majesty will receive due notice by the Lord Chamberlain. ROST, WILLIAMS, AAD JONES. MONMOUTH, SATURD RNING 10 o'CLocit. The following is a copy of the letter ordering execu ion : " Whitehall, Jan. 29, 1840. " SIR—I am to signify to you the Queen's commands that the execution of the sentence of Death passed upon Zephaniah Williams, John Frost, and William Jones, now in the gaol at Monmouth, be respited until Thursday, the 6th day of February next. But the prisoners arc to be distinctly informed that the sentence of the law will then be carried into effect. " I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, NORMANBY." " P. S. You will acknowledge the receipt hereof by re turn of post. " To the High Sheriff of the County of Monmouth." The Governor 4..the , ,gaeL by toe command of the High Sheriff, delivered to each prisoner a copy of the Death Warrant, for such the ahove may be called. They received it with the greatest composure, and as if they never entertained a hope that mercy would be extended to them. The Governor, Mr. Forde, who is a man of very strong mind, but who discharges the painful duties of his office with humanity, could scarcely refrain from tears while the prisoners took from him the several copies with the same seeming indifference they would a letter on some general business. Both Jones and Williams have taken their last farewell of their wives. Williams was bathed in tears on that truly melancholy occasion, but Jones con quered his feclinos. When the convicts were informed 6f the great interest which their intended execution excited in London, they were much pleased, and expressed their gratitude to the citizens of the great Metropolis, for their humane, generous, and noble-minded conduct. Mr. Frost declares that he would sooner ba hanged than transported, and I believe the same sentiment pervades the minds of the other two. MERTHYR, JANUARY 29, 1840.—The news of the respite which has been granted to Frost, Williams, and Jones, has spread universal joy. So grateful arc the people, that they are resolved to abandon all idea of physical force, in order that they may not barrass a government that is inclined to deal so mercifully towards men, who, in the mcmcnt of passion. offended against the laws of their country. NEWPORT, FRIDAY Nioirr.—We are all gladness and jay. Several have congratulated the wretched and heart broken family of poor Mr. Frost. In my opinion this timely act of mercy (for no doubt the respite will be followed by a reprieve) has saved us from assassinations, outrage, and incendiarism. Other letters have been received from Tredegar, Pon typool, and Blackwood, couched in similar language with the above. I have also beard (but not having seen the letter I cannot vouch for its truth) that a leading and physical force Chartist, writing from Birmingham said, "that the lenient conduct of Government has not only dis armed the Chartists, but has crushed Chartism." Vincent will be put again on his trial next Assizes, on charges of conspiracy and sedition. It is the custom here to compel all the prisoners to view, from the battlements of the gaol, any execution that may.take place. When Vincent was informed that he should witness the execution of Frost and the others, he exclaimed, " If I do I will cry out at the highest pitch of my voice, Murder, murder, murder l" [NOTE, ]__At a late hour on Friday evening her Majesty's Alinist,:rs came to the determination of sparing the lives of Frost and his guilty companions, Williams and Jones. On Friday afternoon, a deputation, consisting of Mr. Swain, of Fleet -street; Mr. Rogers, tobacconist, of High street, St. Giles's ; Mr. Pitkeithly, and two or three others, accompanied by Sir Frederick Pollock, waited upon Lord Melbourne, at the House of Lords, for the purpose of endeavouring to prevail upon his Lordship to mitigate the severity of the punishment which was about to be inflicted upon these misguided men, Sir Frederick strongly urging upon the Premier the necessty, in the present agitated state of the country, in Monmouth and its vicinity, to spare the lives of the prisoners. The Minister was ob. durate, and after Sir Frederick had had no less than six interviews with Lord Melbourne (communicating each time with the members of the deputation), he returned , aith the clear understanding that the reprieve which had been sent to Monmouth would not remain in force beyond Thursday next. Sir Frederick had another interview, having seen Lord Broirggam on the - subject, who re quested Sir Frederick to convey to Lord Melbourne and his colleagues his urgent prayer, that in the present most alarming and greatly excited state of the country, her Me jesty's advisers would not only see the justice but the abso lute policy, of foregoing their previous determination of suffering the law to take its course. Sir F. Pollock told Lord Brougham that he had then waited no less than six times on Lord Melbourne on the subject, and ho believed and feared that the minds of the Ministers were made up not to suffer the execution to be stayed beyond the period originally fixed upon. Lord Brougham, however, urged the trial of a seventh effort ; and Sir Frederick (although he considered the case a hopeless one) had an interview with the Ministers for the soventh and last time. The last effort was a successful one, and the Learned and indefatigable advocate retired with the promise of her Majesty's Ministers that the crimes of Frost and his two wretched partne4 s in guilt should not be expiated on the scaffold. They will of course be transported for life, unless the people immediately sign peti tions to the Queen and to Patliament ; and, we have au thority for stating, that Lord Brougham will most willingly undertake their presentation.— Weekly Dispatch. THE THRONE -ROOM, OR PRINCIPAL DRAWING-Row!. Here the memb,!rs of the Royal Family, the Great Officers of State, and such other persons as are to accompany her Majesty to the Chapel, will assemble, and will take their places in the order prescribed in the programme of the ceremonial prepared by the Earl Marshal. THE ANTE THRONE -R 0024 procession of the Bridegroom, Prince Albert, will here assemble, and be duly placed by the Officers of' the Earl Marshal. The folding-doors between these rooms will be kept closed till all be in readiness. THE PROCESSION, —Prince Albert's portion of the pro cession will move first, preceded by the Lord and Deputy Chamberlain, who will conduct his Royal Highness to the Chapel, where be will remain on the right hand side, or left of the altar. The Lord Chamberlain and Deputy Chamberlain will then return to her Majesty, and having taken their prescribed positions, her Majesty's procession will advance—preceded by music, and guided by the officers - the, Earl. Marshal. , 7 ,- 0 0-- . - • QUEEN ANNE'S DRAWING -ROOM, which forms the last of the suite of rooms fronting St. James's Park. In this room, through which the processions will first move, raised amphitheatrical seats have been erected, which will be covered with crimson cloth, and which are constructed in a semi-circular form, extending from the folding-doors of the Ante Throne-room to the door of THE GUARD CHAMBER, on the left of which a succession of seats, with rail in front, also covered with crimson cloth, have likewise been erected. Through this chamber, which if hung with ancient tapestry, the Procession will pass to THE ARMOURY, where seats for spectators will also be found and thence to THE GRAND STAIRCASE, in front of which, and on the side, seats again meet the eye; so that, throughout the in terior of the Palace, every spot from whence a view of the gratifying spectacle can be commanded has been assi duously devoted for the reception of such persons as may be fortunate enough to obtain tickets from the Lord Cham berlain; and as all persons will be in full dress, the scene will be at once brilliant and imposing, Down the Great Staircase the Procession will advance to the ancient en trance of the State Apartments, and so into TPIE COLONADE IN THE COLOUR QUADRANGLE, lead ing to the Chapel. Here an inclosure has been con structed, extending into the Court-yard, which is covered over, and fitted up with seats one above another, capable of receiving about 360 persons. These seats will be lined with crimson cloth, and the whole of the Colonada will be plain stone colour, in accordance with the interior of the building. As the original intention of performing the service in the evening has been abandoned, three extensive lanterns, or skylights, have been introduced into the roof of the Colonade, and-large windows have been opened in the back of the inclosure, so that the broad glare of day will be freely admitted, and fully display the splendour of the passing scene. The old flagged way of the Colonade has been taken up, and the earth removed, so as to reduce the surface to a perfect level with the vestibule of the Palace and the floor of the Chapel. This has been hoarded; and the whole course, from the Throne-room to the door of the Chapel, will be covered with a rich carpet of a uniform pattern, the decorations harmonizing through out. Within the Chapel, we have already stated, crimson and gold will be the prevailing colours. A simple ele gance, without any attempt at theatrical effect, characterise the whole arrangements, which are upon an economical scale, and extremely creditable to the artists engaged. Calculating the amount of accommodation in the Chapel, in the Court-yard, on the Staircase, and in the Chambers within the Palace, we apprehend rather more than twelve hundred tickets will be issued, in the ap propriation of which we are assured, the Lord Chambor lain (the Earl of Uxbridge), who has a difficult card to play, will exercise as strict an impartiality as possible ; but we need not say he will find it no easy task to give satisfaction to all the claimants, wbo will naturally feel de -1 sirous of being present on an occasion in which the whole nation so deeply sympathises. THE BRIDAL DAY.—The day fixed for the performance of the nuptuals is said to be Mouday, the mix instant, at twelve at noon. The Illustrious Bridegroom is ex pected to reach London on Friday next, and will be re ceived with all due honours, every preparation having been made for that purpose. A grand dinner will be given in Buckingham Palace the same day, at which his Royal Highness will be present. Forty covers will be laid. Apartments have, we understand, been taken for his Royal Highness at the Clarendon Hotel. CONCLUSION OF THE CEREMONY.—At the conclusion of the ceremony, which will be performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, at a given signal tha Park and Tower guns will be fired. Her Majesty and the King Consort will then take their seats in State Chairs, on each side the altar, receiving the congratula• tions of the illustrious groupes by whom they will be Ell-- rounded. The Procession will then be re-formed, and the Illustrous Couple will return to the Palace by the same route through which they had previously passed, the spectators all standing, and cffcring their heartfelt greet ings as they advance. On the return to the Throne room, the attestation of the Royal marriage will take place. For this portion of the ceremonial a new table has been made of erquisite workmanship. m usic .—The music to be performed in the Chapel, under the direction of Mr. Hawes, will consist Or tll Psalm " Deus Miseratur," in the service, composed y e King, in B flat; and the Anthem, to conclude th cere monial, " Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel," by Kent. Her Majesty and the King Consort will then proceed to Buckingham Palace, receiving, no doubt, the heartchy be followed by all th e c e r b s e o r s f o t fh the u p op Royalul lace e p , a m n i d l y w w il h l o were present, and who will partake of a breakfast, to be r prep a r e d f or t h e occasion.

Covers for about 130 will be laid. The room will he fitted up with great magnificence, and nothing will be omitted to du honour to so memorable an event. We apprehend the public offices will be illuminated, and all public bodies, as well as private individuals ; will follow this example. Wedding favours will be generally worn. Throughout the kingdom preparations are in progress for celebrating the event in a becoming manner, and there will not be a town or village in which some species of re joicing, according to the taste and opportunities of the in habitants, will not be adopted. WEDDING CAKES. - Messrs. Gunter and Ward, of Berkeley-square, have received orders to prepare a given number of wedding cakes for the occasion (one hundred, we hear), which are to be given to the principal Members UNITED STATES. By the Montreal, American packet-ship, which arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, we have received New York papers to the 10th of January inclusive. Governor Fairfield, of Maine, is again labouring it seems, to stir up a commotion on the boundary question. He will probably, on this occasion, prove an unsuccessful agitatsr. His ground of complaint is so frivolous that even in Ame rica it will be found impossible, we imagine, t') nurse it into a national grievance. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPT.

The Court, after hearing evidence, and the gallant Captain's defence, came to the opinion that the loss of the Tribune was occasioned by an unusual hurricane, and the sea to which she was exposed on the night of the 28th Nov., 1839, and the general insecurity of the port of Tarra gona.

MONEY BEFORE HEALTH OR COMFORT-- Friday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Hips, at the Red Lion, Princes-street, Westminster, o n th e body of Sarah Rede, aged 32, the wife of a slopseller in Monmouth street. The case was one of sudden death simply, but it ap peared in evidence that deceased and her husband sacrificed every comfort in life to the sacra (nisi fasnas, living in the stingiest way possible in a room which scarcely had a stick of furniture. Though they had amassed property to the amount, it was stated, of 4001., they were in appearance no better than miserable paupers. The deceased had of late been suffering from consumption, but rather than see her money decline she suffered herself to waste away by slow disease. It appeared that the husband did not call in medical advice until twenty minutes after his wife's death, for which several of the Jury wished to censure him. At the suggestion of the Coroner they refrained from returning a special verdict, and merely recorded one of " Natural death."
