GREA T WESTERN. The speed, safety, and puuctuality, with which the " Great Western" has invariably performed her voyages, had determined the Directors not to notice the unfounded reports which have been circulated ; but they feel that they ought not to withhold the following Letter from the Surveyor General of Lloyd's, which proves that the care bestowed in the construction of this Vessel, has realized the most sanguine expectations. Lloyd's Register of Bt itish and Foreign Shipping, London, 11th January, 1840. Dear Sir,—ln reply to yours of the 9th inst., requesting my opinion of the " Great Western" Steam Ship, as to her condi tion and signs of working, after having performed 22 voyages across the Atlantic, amounting in the aggregate to 75,000 nau tical miles, I have much pl easure i n s t a ti ng , th a t on exam i n i ng her in the Dry Dock at Bristol, on the 7th and Btb inst., I found her to be in perfectly good condition, free from any in dication of defect inside; the Copper smooth, and without any appearance of straining outside. My attention was particularly directed to the Trusses imme diately before and abaft the Engine Room, where the first in dications of straining and movement in Steam Vessels are in variably given, and I found even less straining and yielding there than is commonly seen in much smaller vessels at the same age, and after so much service; in fact, I found the Abut ments there to be in the same state as when I examined them whilst receiving her Machinery on board in London. The fact of the Copper being smooth, and free from wrinkle, the bottom and keel fair and regular under the Engines, and along the entire length, the abutments of the Trusses close, and the Butts aloft perfect and unbroken, are, in my opinion, conclusive proofs of her freedom from any straining which can by possibility affect either her safety or durability ; and I hear tily congratulate you upon the successful result of this magnifi cent experiment in Steam Navigation. I am, dear Sir. Your obedient Servant, GEORGE BAYLEY. Surveyor of Shipping for Lloyd's. " To Christ. Claxton, Esq." (Signed) The Directors have further to add, that they have arranged the days of sailing so as to admit of her remaining a sufficient time in Port to make improvements for the comfort of the Passengers, and to undergo that careful inspection and refit which it is their determination to repeat periodically, in order to ensure a continuance of the confidence which has been so justly placed in the Great Western.

The following petition has been signed by each of the prisoners at Monmouth, and will be presented to her Majesty and to both Houses of Parliament. That your petitioner was lately tried for, and, as he believes, illegally convicted of high treason. That your petitioner was, by the express words of the statute-law of the land, entitled to have delivered to him, without any application for the same being made by him, a list of the witnesses to be produced against him, at the same time with a copy of the indictment. That your petitioner never had such list delivered at the same time with a copy of the indictment, agreeably with the before -mentioned provisions of the statute-law of the land. That a majority of the Judges have declared that your petitioner was so entitled, and, consequently, that your petitioner, although put upon trial for his life, never had that to which he was entitled, as declared by the Judges to be the statute-law of the land. That your petitioner is now informed that he ought to have complained when called upon to plead, that he had had no list of witnesses delivered to him pursuant to the before-mentioned statute-law of the land. That our petitioner, when called upon to plead, did not know that he ought then to have made such complaint, and believed that he had no right to say or do anything but plead Guilty or Not Guilty. . That your petitioner has been informed and believes, that six of the Learned Judges have, upon mature deli beration, solemnly pronounced it to be their united opi nion, that your petitioner had a good and just right to plead Not Guilty before he complained of the said non compliance with the statute law of the land, and that your petitioner, by pleading, did not waive the rights so given him by the merciful provisions of a Legislative enactment. That your petitioner, as soon as ho had Counsel as signed to him, left it to his Counsel to insist on his right to the said list when they might think proper. That your petitioner's Counsel did insist upon such right, and urged their objection at that time, and in that manner and form, which six of the Learned Judges of the land have pronounced to have been the right time so to insist and to make such objection. That your petitioner solemnly declares, that the three Judges who tried your petitioner expressly declared, that lie should have the same benefit from the said objection as if they decided the same at the said trial. That two out of the three of the said Learned Judges who tried your petitioner have since pronounced it to be their solemn judgment that the said objection was a valid objection, and had been taken in due and proper time, and that therefore your petitioner ought to have been acquitted. That your petitioner, relying upe the truth, good faith, and unimpeached justice and integrity of the said Judges who tried your petitioner, and two out of the three of those learned personages having decided, and still hold that your petitioner ought to have been acquitted, your petitioner humbly claims the performance of their unequi vocal and explicitly declared promise that your petitioner should be placed in the same situation as if they had then and there decided, namely, that your petitioner should be acquitted. And so your petitioner humbly prays, as a matter of good faith and right justice, a free pardon. And your petitioner will ever pray, &c. INVERNESS.—On Friday last we had a tremen dous storm of wind and rain, indicated by a remarkable depres sion of the barometer. A stormier evening we never wit nessed. It was almost impossible for any person to face the blast; and the streets were strewn with slates and chimney cans. Several windows in the Castle were broken and driven in. About midnight the storm abated, and there was a copious fall of snow. The North Mail was detained fourteen hours at the Meikle Ferry, in consequence of the fury of the tempest. On Saturday the snow continued, with a heavy drift. Sunday was partially clear, though chequered with blasts of wind and rain till towards the evening, when the snow again commenced ; and the whole country is now enveloped with a fleecy covering. —lnverness Courier. CORN-LAW MEETINGS.—During the past week public meetings were held in several places not only in England but in Scotland, for repeal of the bread tax. At Bradford, where a large meeting was held on .Wednesd a y, l ast year, it will be remembered, that the Chartists successfully opposed the Corn-law repeaters, whilst this year they have offered no resistance to them—a proof, we trust, of their having come to their right mind on this important subject. THE GRANT TO PRINCE ALBERT. --DUB LIN, DEC. 29, HALF-PAST Fon R.—The intelligenc e o f th e result of the motion for the grant to Prince Albert has just reached here. The Tory clique are in the greatest delight at the majority against Ministers ; but the unanimous feeling through town all day is, that the conduct of the 'I ories on the occasion will serve to blight any little prospects they may have of again being in power. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.--MortuAx. Confederate's reign, as first favourite has proved as short as it was sudden and unexpected. The Angelica party mus tered their forces yesterday, and besides taking 15 to 1, made repeat►d offers to back him at evens against the Beckhampton intruder, whose party was not by any means so zealous in their support as might have been expectod from the movement of Thursday last. Theon was at a premium, 15 to 1 having been taken in fifties, after numerous attempts to execute a com mission at 16 to 1 in hundreds had failed • he too, was a shade in advance of Confederate, and we almost feel ourselves jus tified in adding that Launcelot was quite as good a favourite. Bokhara was backed at 11 to 1, and bad several friends present. Muley Ishmael pretty nearly as before.—A,.small bet of 50 to 1 was taken to 20/. about his companion Glenorchy, but as we did not hear any other business done about him, we can scarcely venture to call it a market price. Ottoman's opening figure was 23 to h—taken ; a point more wa s then laid rather freely ; after that 22, and, in the end 20 to 1 three or four times, and offered at the close. Wardan also sprung a point or two ; 25 to 1 was betted once, and the taker would have gone on, but the subsequent offers did not average more than 26 to 1, at the outside. St. Andrew was mentioned once or twice at 23, or takers of 25 to 1, and the latter Odds were accepted about Gambia to nearly 2001. OATS. Crucifix daily increases in favour ; three or four parties worked hard to get on, but nothing we believe was done, none of the biddings against her having exceeded 4to 1. We question if these could have been obtained to any amount. Black Bess was backed first at 23 to 1 and afterwards freely at 20 to 1, we have quoted the odds against some of the other favourites for this stake as a guide for those who wish to know the state of the market; it should be added, however, that nothing has been done about them of late.

A Steeple Chase for a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft. (5 subs. ), took place near Cheltenham on Friday last, over a line of country commencing in a turnip piece, at about half a mile from Withington village, and finishing in a field of Mr. J. Arkell's, opposite Sandywell Park, for which the following horses started : Mr. Wood's b. g. Gilbert, 12st ...........(Mr. Oliver) Mr. De Winton's b. g. Nimrod, 12st (Owner) Col. Charritie's Dorset Mare, Ilst (Mr. W. Neuman) Mr. Hussey's ch. g. Speculation, llst (Mr. Powell) The Dorset Mare took the lead, with Gilbert second, Specu lation third, and Nimrod fourth, ever the first two walls (where Messrs. Powell and De Winton changed places) to the Withington-road, and the first brook, where Gilbert threw Oliver, who was, however, soon up, and the three followed the mare to the next wall, which they all cleared, Nimrod pitching his rider over his head. At the wall out of the London road the Dorset mare fell, and Oliver directly took up the running, with Powell on his left, to the Bullfinch, which he cleared in fine style, and continued his lead to the Stow-road and the last brook, where Nimrod, who had made up his lost ground, was, with Powell, close up. At the next fence a deg ran between Gilbert's legs, and gave him another fall. Nimrod and Speculation were now in front and nearly together, the former increasing his lead every stride to the last fence but one, wherepoor Gilbert again fell. Nimrod and Spe culation, although the latter fell on his head at the last fence. made a good race home, Nimrod winning by about half a length, THE MARKETS.-(YESTERDAY.) PIIICE ur The highest price of Bread in the Metropolis is 10;sid. for the 411•. Loaf. Good Bread may be had at 9d, ADELPHI THEATRE. A new nautical drama, from the pen of Buckstone, was launched at this theatre last evening, for the purpose of re-introducing T. P. Cooke to the Adelphi audience, after an absence, we believe, of nearly ten years. It is en titled Poor Jack, or the Wife of a Sailor, and is founded on a short narrative of a fact which occurred on the South American coast in 1810. 'I he ship Diana is wrecked on the coast near the American village of Obeydah. Among the passengers who escape from the wreck is Eleanor Godfrey (Miss Fortescue) a young English lady, who is on her way home to England with her uncle, who perishes in the wreck. Those who have escaped endeavour to find their way to some civilised part of the country; and, while they are crossing the desert, Jack Somerton (T. P. Cooke) rescues her from the grasp of a ruffian named Sam Griffin ( Mr. P. Bedford). Griffin and his companion, Flipper, ( Mr. King), continue their route, and reach the hut of a Missionary ( Mr. Cullenfo;d), who gets them a passage with a caravan about to start across the Pampas to Buenos Ayres. Shortly after, Jack and Eleanor arrive at the same hut. They love each other, but her pride will not permit her to own it. In the meantime Griffin has been spreading reports so injurious to the character of Eleanor and Jack, that Mrs. Mendoza, a vulgar merchant's wife, admirably acted by Yates, and her female friends posi tively refuse to let Jack and Eleanor start in the caravan, unless they are previously married. To this, at last, Eleanor reluctantly consents, and becomes the Bride of the Desert. The caravan arrives at Buenos Ayres, and there Eleanor's pride returns and gets the better of her feelings of love and gratitude. Instantly on her arrival, without staying to take leave of Jack, who has been separated from him ever since the moment of the marriage, she seeks her uncle's friend, Captain Cyril, and without informing him of her marriage, sails in his ship, the Ruby, for Eng land. Jack hears of her departure, and follows the ship in a fishing-boat. A white squall comes on, the boat is wrecked, but poor Jack escapes a second time. A lapse of two years takes place—the sconce changes to London —Eleanor is discovered living with her parents, in a mag nificent mansion, in one of the squares—lovers seek her hand—every enjoyment that wealth can command is hers, but still she is most miserable, making indirect inquiries after Jack, and yet afraid to hear intelligence of him, lest she should be cast off by her friends. Jack has, in the mean time, arrived in London, having earned honours and pro motion by his bravery. He by chance meets the Mission ary who had married him to Eleanor, and relieves his distress; and in consequence of his exertions discovers the abode of Eleanor. They meet ; her father urges her to give him up, but she refuses ; and then Jack refuses to enter a family where the alliance of a brave suitor would be considered a disgrace. However, by the intervention of one of her former lovers, the father is appeased, con sents to their union, and all ends happily, It is sufficient to announce that the part of Jack was acted by T. P. Cooke, for every play-goer to be assured that in him the British tar found a perfect representa tive. Miss Fortescue's acting as Eleanor was ex tremely pathetic, and in the last scene most effective, as the tears of the audience testified. The tragical parts were agreeably lightened in the last two acts by the adven tures of Mrs. Fantod (Miss C. Darling), a widow,—and the Hon. Mr. Flummery (Yates),—a lisping dandy; and by those of Tim Twopenny (Buckstone) and his wife Becky ( Mrs. Keeley.) Yates and Buckstone acted well up to each other, and were exceedingly grotesque and laughter moving. The peace was announced for repetition every evening without a dissentient. At the fall of the curtain T. P. Cooke was called for and greeted as an old friend should be greeted, with warm and rapturous applause. The house was crowded to suffocation. m a n lhe d ' ant s two of v athe ß c o a y na lcs on 3 ie hrine the Marines, established dby list the reocef recent tCoordm er in Council, will, it is confidently rumoured, be filled up by Colonel Lawrence at Chatham, and Colonel Jones at Ports mouth, who will be succeeded at their respective divisions by those highly meritorious officers, Colonels Beatty and Parke.— United Service Gazette. On Saturday last, as two little girls were return ing home from the water-mill, at Hoane, at which place they were employed by 111-. H. Warne, manufacturer, unfortunateiy by some means unknown they were both forced into the river, and carried down by the stream a considerable distance; in this way they both perished, there not being a soul near to reach out a helping hand. One of the bodies was found near the mill on Sunday;- the other has not as yet been discovered, after every effort to find the same. The children were natives of Thorpe, of different parents, one abut nine years old, and the other about eleven..—lpswich Chronicle. The Herald states th a t since the report of the execution of Frost, Williams, and Jones having been fixed for Thursday gained circulation, the most alarming communica tions from the hills and the surrounding districts have been re ceived ; whereas, when it was first supposed that the lives of the prisoners would be saved, several letters from Pontypool, Merthyr, Fredegar, and even from Birmingham, stated that the act of mercy had dispersed and completely disarmed the phy sical-force Chartists ;in fact, that the Chartists were so grate ful for it that they would not be guilty of any further outrages. A letter from Flushing, speaking of the late storms, says among other disasters is the loss of the Bruxelloise, a handsome ship belonging to Antwerp, homeward bound from Odessa, which was totally lost on the night of the 26th ult. It is thought the crew attempted to save themselves in the boat, which was probably upset in the dreadful breakers, the benches having been picked up. A plank, with the name of the ship, and a piece of the deck, with three small guns on it, were driven on shore. No trace whatever of the unhappy crew has been found.—Dutch Paper. PAWNBROKERS AND THE NEW POLICE ACT.—On Saturday, at the Kensington Petty Sessions, Webbs, a pawnbroker, in High-street, Kensington, was charged by Inspector Smith with violating the New Police Act, in having taken in a pledge from a boy under sixteen years of age, by which he incurred a penalty of five pounds. James Collins, a boy who is not sixteen until March next, stole two handkerchiefs from Holland House Farm, and pawned them at the defendant's shop. The defendant proved that the boy had many times before pawned articles for his parents, which were redeemed ; and he declared that he could not tell from the boy's appearance that he was under the prescribed age. Col lins was brought up from Clerkenwell prison to give evidence, and stated that no question was asked him as to his age. It was contended that this was not a case for the interference of the Bench. The Magistrate said this clause was intended to prevent children from disposing of stolen property, and they felt called upon to convict in this case, and fined the defendant five shillings and costs. The Cheques and notes to the amount of 1611. supposed to have been lost in Messrs. Gurney's bank on Satur day last, were found the next morning by their owner at his own house, in the side pocket of his travelling cloak, which had been hung up by his servant in the usual place, on his mas ter's return from Norwich on the Saturday evening.—Norfolk Chronicle. Considerable excitement was caused about seven o'clock on Thursday morning, by cries of " Fire," proceeding from the mill belonging to Messrs G. and J. Mills, Long row ; upon inquiry, we learnt that in the room appropriated to the mixing of cotton, a portion was caught by a strap attached to the machinery, and carried to a gas light, which ignited it, and falling upon the cotton in the dressing machine, a flame immediately burst forth, its progress was arrested by pouring a quantity of steam into the room. The fire engines were sent for, but fortunately the flames were subdued with trifling damage.—Nottingham Review. A - month or two ago, a well-dressed man en tered the house of Mr. Mark Thornton, publican, at Sacristan colliery, and, after partaking of some refreshment, requested to have lodgings for the night, and to be called from his bed in good time in the morning, it being his intention to visit and inspect the works at the Charlaw pit. In the morning, when he was awakened, he asked for a pitman's suit of flannel cloth ing, which was supplied to him ; and when he had attired himself in this dress (as is the custom of strangers when they intend to descend a pit), he quitted the house, leaving his own clothes behind him. From that time he has never been seen by the landlord ; and on examining his apparel, consisting of superfine black coat, &c., boots, and black silk stock), the trou sers have been found to be slightly spotted with blood ; and there are two cuts on the right side, as if with a dagger or other pointed_ instrument. The cl o th es may now b e seen at Mr. Thornton's.—Galeshead Observer. On Friday last, six prisoners now confined in the Bath gaol, and committed for trial, formed a plan to escape, which, through the vigilance of the Governor, was frustrated. They are known to be some of the most notorious characters in Bath; three of them have formerly been convicted. The Go vernor of the gaol had reasons to suspect that something wrong was in contemplation, and he caused the motions of the pri sonars to be strictly watched; they had already begun to loosen the stones in the lower yard, when one of their companions be trayed their intention:, and the whole were secured, and placed in a stronger part of the prison, whence escape is impossible.— Bath Hemld. SINGULAR NOTION.—A gentleman residin n in this town called at our office the other day, and asked to be permitted to go into the printing-office and see the compositors at work, as he fancied it would relieve his head, which had been very uncomfortable for some time past ; he had also, he said, been very low-spirited, and he thought that witnessing the setting-up of a newspaper was calculated to remove it ! Leicestersire Mercury. Mr. Miller, the Author of " Royston Gower" and " Fair Rosamond," has written another romantic novel, which has the interesting Lady Jane Grey for its heroine. It was scarcely possible for him to have made choice of a subject affording greater scope for the novelist, and we understand that in delineating the distinguished personages of his story, he has availed himself of the discoveries lately made in the State Paper Office, vi hich place one of his principal charac ters, Sir William Cecil (afterwards the celebrated Lord Burghley), in a light entirely opposed to that his biographers have endeavoured to throw upon him. We are also to be in troduced, by Mr. Miller, to Queen Mary, Cranmer, Latimer, the ambitious Northumberland, and his son, the young and ill fated Lord Dudley, the youthful King Edward the Sixth, and to several other individuals of equal historical interest, and to obtain through the same source, in a series of picturesque de scriptions, an elaborate and amusing view of London in the sixteenth century. DEAFNESS.—At length this dreadful malady is completely obviated, without torture and serious risk by medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle. street, Piccadilly, and 96, Cheapside, have constructed a Voice Conductor, the size of a seven-shilling piece, which, when fixed into the cavity of the ear, is soft, easy, and not more un comfortable nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place ; and that which is deserving the public attention and approbation is, that any individual in company may place it in the ear and remove it unobserved.

(MONDAY EVENING.) TIMES. —The recent news from China is supposed by some to have produced an effect in the Consol Market. At all events that market has been flat to day, and though for a short time the prices were 91i to for Money, and 91i to for the Account, they were for the greater part of the day at 91 t i to for Money, and 914 to I for the Account, at which they closed. The flatness in Consols was attended by a further de cline in Exchequer Bills, which are now quoted at 13s. to 15s. premium. Money, however, continues abun dant, and has been obtainable to-day at 3 per cent. for short periods. The transactions in the Foreign House have not been to any great extent. The chief feature is a rise in Portuguese Stock, which closed at 33 for the Five per Cents., and shows, that in spite of the unsatisfactory news of to-day, anything like a hint at attention to the foreign creditor on the part of the Portuguese Govern ment is caught at with avidity, and produces an effect on the stock. An arrival from Holland, staling an im provement in prices, has caused a rise in Dutch Stock. Danish Bonds have advanced considerably, but this is accountable for without reference to any news, as so little is done in Danish Stock that the mere fact even of a small purchase will affect the price. The usual sympathy between the Peninsula securities appears to have caused a slight rise in Spanish, which, after being in the early part of the day as low as 26 for the Active, closed at 26-4- to I. The quotations for the other Stocks arc—Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 521 to 534 ; and Danish Bonds, 77f to 77i. In the share-market prices have not been quite so firm. Brighton, which were sold in the morning at 81, discount, fell to 91, which was the last quotation. Great Western are quoted 2 to 3 premium for the old, and par to 1 premium for the new shares. Birmingham at 66 to 67 premium. It appears that the decrease of the revenue is not owing alone to an increase of expenditure, but also to the maladministration of important branches by the present Ministers. A petition has been presented to Parliament by the manufacturers of tobacco in New castle-upon-Tyne, which states that a system of adul teration of that article has for some years been practised to such an extent as seriously to injure both the trade and the revenue ; that on the petitioners praying the Board of Excise and local officers that the laws against adulteration might be put in force, se veral seizures of adulterated tobacco were made about two years ago, but that the tobacco was subsequently restored by Government without any penalty, though the fact of adulteration was undoubted ; that the local offi cers have in consequence inferred that it is not the inten tion of the Government to prevent or punish such frauds, and, notwithstanding they are fully aware of the extent of adulteration, openly state that they are convinced any exertions on their part would be unacceptable to their superiors ; that the petitioners have in vain im plored the interference of the Treasury and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, praying in reference to the local officers, who would bear witness to the truth of their allegations, representing that the weight of tobacco on which duty was paid in 1839 was 1,143,681 lb. less than in 1838, causing a loss of 171,552/. to the revenue, and stating that the existing law, if enforced, is sufficiently strong ; that the petitioners, on applying to the local officers of Customs, met with the same re fusal as from the officers of excise, and that conse quently they are left unprotected to contend against parties who gain an advantage over them by defrauding the revenue. It should be added that the petitioners deny any decrease in the consumption of tobacco, which might account for the loss to the revenue, and assign as a cause of that loss, not only the non-payment of duty on the materials mixed with the adulterated tobacco, but also the drawback allowance of 2s. 7id. per pound claimed and re ce i ve d on it b e i ng ex po r t e d as ships' stores. SUN.—There was nothing stirring in the City this afternoon. The Tea Market was rather flatter, it hav ing been stated ,that large supplies, purchased before the stoppage of the trade, are coming forward to this country. The auctions of China Silk went off, how ever, with a good deal of spirit up to the termination. The Funds closed heavily. The rumours of a new loan being required by the Chancellor of the Exchequer have again been revived. Consols left off at 94 to 4 for money, and at 911 to s for time. Exchequer Bills were done at 13s. to 15s. premium, but India Bonds rallied to 3s. premium. In the Foreign Market Portuguese New Five per Cents. touched 34-7,-; the Three per Cents. 23? ; Spa nish Consols were heavy at 24 ; Brazil Bonds at 77 to 1: and Colombian at 27i ; Mexican fell to 29. . The Railway Shares were heavy. The Great Western brought 2} premium ; the new shares 4 pre mium ; the Brighton 10 discount ; and the Birmingham 67 premium. DOVER, FEB. 2.—Captain Botteler, of the packet establishment, has received orders to have a packet at Calais. on the 6th inst., to be in readiness to bring over Prince Albert. He has appointed Master J. Hamilton, commander of the Widgeon, for that purpose. CAPTURE OF A SLAVE -SHIP, AND RESCUE or 500 SLAVES. —Extract of a letter dated H.M. S. Skipjack, Port Royal, Dec. 24, 1834.—" At daylight on the 30th, last month, whilt cruising off the Isle of Pines on the coast of Cuba, we perceived a small black speck on the horizon, nearly astern of us. We immediately tacked in chase, knowing it, of course, to be a vessel, and after a most exciting chase of about eight hours, we observed the object of our pnrsuit (a fine brigantine) run on shore on a reef of rocks, about a mile from land, and her crew in the act of deserting her, endeavouring to force as many of the negroes as possible into the water, and then obliging them to swim for the shore; however, a shot or two from our long gun soon obliged them to desist. We then anchored as close as pos sible to the slaver, and hoisted our boats to take possession, which we gained about half-past two, the cowardly Spaniards not offering the slightest resistance, although greatly our supe riors in numerical force. Harper, our senior mate, was in com mand of the gig, myself in that of the cutter ; the former boat went immediately to the vessel, whilst I was ordered to take possession of a raft which the Spaniard's had hastily constructed, and on which there were nearly thirty negroes, who were im mediately abandoned by their masters on the approach of our boats. I had the pleasure of rescuing a few of the poor crea tures from a watery grave—three of them were just sinking when I hauled them into the boat. Nothing could exceed the joy of the poor Africans when we got on board : they immediately understood that we were their deliverers, and showed their sense of the favour we had done them by behaving in the most amicable and docile manner. We landed 533 slaves in the most healthy condition at Montego Bay (Jamaica), a distance of 500 miles from the place of capture, only five days after she was taken. With one exception she is the largest slaver ever taken in the West Indies, and the Skipjack being so small a vessel, makes the prize -money very good. VANDALISM.—Most of the readers of this paper are aware that Mr. Sidney, of Cowpen, is fitting up a neat little place of worship for the use of the Catholics of that place and neighbourhood. On the evening of the 23d ult., some persons, actuated by very unenviable feelings, took the trouble to deface the sacred edifice, by pulling down and destroying that symbol of every Christian's faith, a figure of the Cross, which Mr. Sidney had very appropriately erected upon the end of the building. A reward is offered for the authors of the un worthy act. Tyne Pilot. STEALING BREAD.—Catherine Brinney was charged at the Court House with having stolen a loaf of bread, the property of Mr. Jeremiah Rotinson, in the Ley:ands. The Bench generally censured her for having taken the loaf, when she had plenty of money in her pocket to pay for it with ; she pleaded that she had three young children at home, for whom she had nothing to eat. She was committed for trial.—Leeds Times. HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE.—A benevolent Correspondent trusts that, on the day on which her Majesty's marriage is to be celebrated, a dinner may be given to the poor of the respective parishes, either in some public place in each parish, or a supply sent to them at their several abodes, under the direction of the parochial officers. The ship Michigan, Captain Sturges, arrived here, from New Orleans, on Tuesday, after a stormy passage of thirty-five days. The weather from 22d December to the ith January was most stormy. On the Bth January she en countered a dreadful hurricane, attended with loss of fore and mizen top-sails, which stove in the stern boat, and broke the rudder post. The weather, subsequently, was also extremely unfavourable, and the vessel arrived in this port almost a wreck, having stove in her head, and destroyed her cut-water.—Liver pool Chronicle. ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.—A jolly set of Irish men, boon companions and sworn brothers, had made up their minds to leave the "old sod," and wend their way to Anterih, urp They were five in number—two Paddies, on e I\l hiv, one Dennis, and one Teague. It se happened, that the vessel they were to go in could only t a k e four of At length honest Teague exclaimed, " A rra h ' I hatvieiemit.. We'll cast lots to see who shall remain." But one of the Paddies swore it was not joi n t e d to do that thin.- " You know Teague," said he, " that I am an arathmaticia. n, and I can work it out by the rule of substractton, which is a great deal better. But you must all agree to bide by the figures."

On Mond night some cottagers re siding at E ns d on were alarmed by a a Y loud crash, and before they had time to escape a very heavy beam fell across the cottage,and pinned t o th e ground a man, his wife, and child. Their screams brought some ne i g hb ours to their assistance, when they were fortunately extricated from their perilous situation without sustaining any injury, except a few bruises and the fright. In this town the river overflowed its banks many feet, and laid the under stories of the houses near it under water. In consequence, a house in Frankwell, the property of Mr. Field, was undermined, and while attempts were making to support it, the structure tumbled to the ground, burying the furniture of Mr. E. Bromley, the tenant, underneath the rub bish; but luckily destroying no life. Lower down the stream the losses of property were great ; and great danger of life were experienced : but we have heard no fatal result. The body of the poor boy, Whitehouse, who lost his life in the Severn, in this town, on the 31st of December last, has not yet been found.—Slit ewebury Chronicle.

The shares in the 13ank of the United States bad risen in value, the quotation on the 13th ult. being 85 at New York, and L9i at Philadelphia. Remittances to a large amount bad been sent towards the liquidation of the debt and interest in Europe, and the dividends in the different banks had been paid. The North-eastern boundary question seemed likely to giv e some trouble. Governor Fairfield, of Maine, had made a communication to the Legislature, charging the British authoritie s in New Brunswick with violating the agreement entered into last winter, touching the occupancy and juris diction of the disputed territory. He had also addressed Sir John Harvey on the same subject. The cause of com plaints consists in stationing two companies only, not re giments, on the route to Quebec, one on the St. John, and the other on Lake Ternisquota. The Canada papers deny that there is a nythinz hostile in this movement, and nothieg in violation of the Agreement. The news from Canada is not important. The union question having been settled, the protests of the dissen tients against the measure had been published. SOUTH AMERICA. A vessel had arrived at New Orleans from Matagorda, bringing a confirmation of the report of Matamoras hav ing been taken by the Federalists and Texans. The siege was commenced on the 12th of December, and lasted three days. Great slaughter took plaee on both sides, the Texans alone losing sixty of their number. After the surrender, the whole of the Mexican officers were permitted to depart unarmed, and private property was respected. The inhabitants, of course, and it is said, the Mexican troops also, declared in favour of Federalism. This intelligence had not reached Tam pico on the 20th, to which date advices had been received at New Orleans, by a schooner which brought 151,000 dol lars in specie. The last accounts received at New York from England were to the 11th of December, by the Hibernia. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, JAN. 13. The Stock-market was rather dull to-day, both at the first and second beards. United States bank shares, how ever, fully maintained their previous value. We have now a full supply of bills on Europe, and but quite a moderate demand for them. We reduce our quotations accordingly. Some of the best sterling bills were offered at 6 4 1 , without meeting buyers. A few southern bills, not endorsed here, were offered at 7. A small amount of francs drawn at the south were taken at sf. 35c., but no bills on Paris, drawn in the city, have been sold. We quote— On London Paris 5 35 to 5 30 Amsterdam Hamburgh 314 to 39a 1 36 to 36 A fair business has been done in Inland Exchange, at the following low rates :-.--. Philadelphia, 6i to 7. ; Florida, 26 to 264 ; Baltimore, 6i to 6i ; Mobile, 6s to 7 ; Richmond, 7i- to 8 ; New Orleans, 3i to 4; Charleston, 31- to ; Cincinnati, 10 to 12; Savannah, 5 to 53- ; St. Louis, 123. to 15 ; Augusta, 6} to 7i. In the Money Market there is no material change. Leading paper is readily sold at 1+ per cent. On the whole, this has been a dull day in business. The advance in the prices of flour has caused holders of orders to withdraw from the market for the present. About 100 barrels only were sold to-day, of different qualities, at 6 dois. 50 cents. 600 bags of cotton have been bought, chiefly for export, at prices rather in favour of purchasers. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Tin:es of this morning "still harping" on the late division in the Commons on Sir J. Y. Buller's motion of a want of confidence in Ministers, observes We fully agree with the Standard in the o pi n i on ex p resse d in its leading article on Saturday last, that the proper answer to the motion from a Government conscious of the posses sion of the confidence of the House, would be its logical contrary, viz., resolved, that her Majesty's Government, as at present constituted, does possess the confidence of this House.' We agree also with our contemporary that Ministers did not dare to offer this answer, or to put the question of confidence fairly in issue." The Morning Chronicle, speaking of the Tory system of tactics, says The faction, whether lay or clerical, does not desire peace in the land. It dreads a good understanding be tween the different classes of society. It deprecates the education of the masses. And with every atom of power that it possesses, it strikes at those who stand up for peace, knowledge, order, and loyalty. Talk of putting down Chartism l There is a worse and more formidable power than Chartism in the land, that requires to be put down if the land is to be worth living in."—The Morning' Herald thus alludes to Lord Brougham's speech last night in the Lords, on the subject of the question of law in the case of the late Chartist trials at Monmouth :—" The statement of the Venerable Judges is, of course, decisive on the subject. Yet the force of Lord Brougham's protest against the carelessness of the law officers of the Crown, in so grossly misconducting a case so momentous, remains unquestionable."—The Morning Post remarks as follows with reference to the late want-of-confidence motion :- 6. We cannot doubt that the public generally will concur in the view of the duties of Government which the Con. servative speakers in the Commons have maintained ; and we therefore think that the exposition they have made must go very far to convince the public that the Government, as at present constituted, is unworthy of confidence." THE NEW ROYAL ;EXCHANGE. The Committee of the Corporation and the Mercers' Company met on Friday at M ercers ' H a ll , pursuant to ad journment, to receive Mr. Smith's Report of the eight designs referred to him. Mr. George Smith presented his. Report, which statu, that it was with great regret he was compelled t o come the conclusion that not one of the eight designs submiitek: to him was suitable or eligible for a new Royal Exchange. The Report of Mr. George Smith, coincides with that delivered in by Sir Robert Smirke, Mr. Gwilt, and Mr. Hardwick, which contains the following paragraph : We regret, however, to say that we cannot submit for the choice of the Committee five designs out of the number subjected to our notice, which we can, without mans changes in them, report as practicable, advisable, and ca pable of being made durable edifices; and that the Com mittee may be fully aware of our meaning on this subject, we will shortly state, in respect of practicability, that in the best designs of the collection, as regards external architec tural merit, whose suites of apartments arc placed in upper stories without adequate support being brought up through those below to carry them ; that passages are shown with out the necessary light; that chimneys arc placed in situations from which flues could not be carried up ; and that many rooms are without chimneys at all ; and that in most, if not in all, the designs otherwise meritorious, what are called false bearings' appear to such an extent, that they are not practicable in their existing state, and hence it cannot be said that they would be durable edifices." The Committee will meet again in a few days to con sider how they arc to overcome the difficulties which have occurred. In the mean time many of the houses in Sweet ing's-alley are being taken down, and other measures have been adopted to clear the ground as soon as possible for the new site, so that no time may be lost after the design shall have bean fixed upon, and the architect appointed. CORN Laws.—We are requested to state that Mr. C. G. Allhusen, of Newcastle, was not at the Anti- Corn-law Meeting of Delegates at Manchester, and that for various reasons he could not have attended it as a delegate. Lady Willoughby d'Eresby with the Hon. A. and Hon. Miss Willoughby, are still at Grimsthorpe, Lincoln shire, but purpose coming to town for the season at the close of the week. On the 25th of this month, M. Galle, of the Royal Observatory of Berlin, discovered a second comet in the constellation of the Dragon, near the star E. It is not visible to the naked eye. SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN A STEAMER.—The Gazelle steam-ship left Hull on Friday morning, with goods, and passengers; amongst the latter was an e ld er l y ma n, *gee 5.5 or 60 years, rather stout, and marked with the small-pox- About ten o'clock on Saturday morning he was missed at break fast, and on the strictest search he could not be found in the vessel, which caused great consternation amongst the other pas sengers. He had been seen to go upon deck about foar o'clock in the morning. A hat was afterwards found, with the initials T. H., also a name on the lining, Thomas Hague, maker's name Richards, 125, Strand. No inquiry has been made for the missing individual, and it is not supposed that he could have fallen overboard, the bulwarks being breast high. A cloak has since been found belonging to the same individual. STRAND THEATRE. —This theatre was open last night, by special permission of the Lord Chamberlain, for the purpose of having a performance for the benefit of that most commendable charitable institution, the Printers' Pension So ciety. The audience on the occasion was full, both in pit and gallery ; but, for the sake of the poor brothers of Franklin, vrt , should have wished to have to say as much for the box tier. The entertainment, in its chief feature, was becomingly chosen. The friends of the printer could not be content with less than the enactment of one of those master works which have equally honoured the ,tage and the press. The School for Scandal was played, and in justice we must say, con assort. The ballet of Flora and Zephyr, was executed, as far as three very juvenile satyrs were concerned, with singular felicitousness ; and the burletta of Fortune's Frolic complet:d the night's bill of fare. Another instance of attempt at self-destruction by means of Prussian blue occurred the day before yesterday. A young woman between 18 and 19 years of age, living in the Rue de la Reynie, became so inflated with ideas imbibed from constant reading of novels, that she became disgusted with her station, and resolved to put an end to her chagrin by swallow ing a pint of the poison we have mentioned. The pains pi .., duced by this potent draught. however, forced such terrible cries from her that her neighbours made their way into her room, and conveyed her to the medical post, in the Rue de la Ferronnerie, where the means taken to counteract the poison were so efficacious that her life is considered out of danger. Paris Paper. ANIMAL SAGACITY.—The following instance of animal sagacity occurred a few days ago :—An eminent job ber having purchased a quantity of fat cattle from an extensive farmer a few miles to the north of this town, sent his servant the day following to remove the lot, a n d drive them on to Morpeth. The first night the cattle were put into an enclo sure about four miles to the south of Kelso ; and the drover, after securing them properly, retired to his quarters. Next morning two of the animals were missing, and although seareh was diligently made in the neighbourh oo d, they were nowhere to be teen. On making further search, the foot-marks of the two bullocks were discovered in an opposite direction ; and having traced these to the ford as far as the Bullet Loan, it was then conjectured that they must have gone through the ovate and proceeded northwards. The drover, therefore, withou loss of time, proceeded to the place from which he got them_ and, to his satisfaction, found them snugly ensconced in their original quarters. What renders the circumstance still more remarkable is, that the bullocks had never been in the direction which they were going any distance from the farm -on whic h they were reared. —Kelso Chronicle. _.......
