Four o'clock, p.m. The Court of Queen's Bench has just refused the tra versers' motion for a copy of the captiori. The members of the court were not unanimous, Judge Perrin differing from the majority, being of opinion that the motion ought to be granted. Judge Burton stated that at first he was inclined to agree with Judge Perrin, but after mature consideration he had altered his mind. All the members of the court delivered their opinions at great length.

We have, imprimis, No. lof " Adven tures in Texas—A Scamper iu the Prairie of Jacinto," a most interesting narrative of a youthful novice, who had lost his way, and nearly his life, in pursuit of his runaway mustang (or wild horse), in one of those bound less and unpeopled levels peculiar to that extraordinary country—a prairie, enamelled with the most beautiful herbs and flowers, and the monotony of which is here and there broken only by immense clumps of forest trees of the most beautiful foliage and blossom, called " islands " ; frequently presenting, in the rays of the sun, the appearance in reality of the isles of gold and silver in fairy legends. Our adventurer's sufferings from hunger, exhaustion, and the apprehension of never again reaching a human abode, are feelingly and inte restingly described ; and he has so wou upon our affec tions, that we look with considerable anxiety for the final result of his search for the tract of land which he had purchased from a speculating company, who had held out golden promises probably never to be realised. No. 2 of the " Travels of Kerim Khan," in this country, is illustrative of the opinions, generally lust and often quaint and satirical, entertained by a native of the East, of the customs, manners, &c. of the distingnee of our metropolis. His description of the Lord Mayor's dinner, at which he was present, is highly graphic and amusing.

SELF•POSSESSION OF Loins PHILIPPE.—What a mo ment was that, in the life of Louis Philippe, when, sur rounded by as fine and noble a staff as ever grouped round a monarch, Louis Philippe, on arriving at the Boulevard du Temple, whilst reviewing the National tivards and troops of the line, suddenly witnessed the explosion of the infernal machine of Fieschi. Around him were his sons. Beside him was the brave Trevise struck down and bleed ing. Every where about him were victims of Fieschi's diabolical plot. But the king was unhurt. He raised his hat, and said, "I am not wounded." His sons crowded about him. Large tears rolled down his cheeks as he gazed on the noble and faithful Duke de Trevise, but not a moment had to be lost. "My mother !" said the young Duke of Orleans. The king comprehended his meaning, and despatched an orderly officer to the palace. " March !" cried the king; and the cortege proceeded. If it had not done so—if the king had hesitated—if he had appeared paralysed—if the review had been broken up, confusion would have followed ; some tens of thousands of mis creants, who had all prepared themselves to profit by an ticipated disorder, would have pillaged Paris, overthrown the government, and involved France in war and anarchy. The cool, calm, dignified, manly conduct of Louis Phi lippe at that moment of real danger and alarm won for him the golden opinions of all moderate men of all parties, and saved France from years of civil war.—Fraser': Magazine. GENERAL MISCELLANY. THE JUDGES' LAST EQUESTRIAN PROCESSION.—On the first day of term the Judges, in ancient times, rode on horseback to the Hall, and, in the time of Lord Che.n cellor Shaftesbury, an attempt was made to revive the custom. Roger North gives the following ludicrous ac count of that last time in which the Judges' procession, at the commencement of term, was made on horseback. He says (speaking of Lord Shaftesbury)—" His lordship had an early fancy, or rather freak, on the first day of term, to make his procession on horseback, as in the olden time the way was, when coaches were not so rife. And accordingly the Judges, &c., were spoken to to get horses, as they and all the rest did, by borrowing and hiring, and so equipped themselves with black foot-cloths, in the best manner they could. And divers of the nobi lity, as usual, in compliment and honour to the new Lord Chancellor, attended also in their equipments. Upon notice in town of this cavalcade, all the show company took their places at windows and balconies, with the foot guards in the streets, to partake of the fine sight, and being once settled for the march it moved, as the design was, statelily along. But when they came to straights and interruptions, for want of gravity in the beasts, and too much in the riders, there happened some curvetting, which made no little disorder. Judge Twisden, to his great affright and the consternation of his grave brethren, was laid along in the dirt. But all at length arrived safe, without loss of life or limb in the service. This accident was enough to divert the like frolic for the future, and the very term after they fell to their coaches, as before." THE HERSCHELS.—HerscheI (the elder)* was not only a great man ' • he was also a most fortunate man. He was fortunate in having George 111 for a patron. Again he was fortunate in having M, Arago for a liographer, who, while complete master of his subject, is also a gentleman 1 1 superior to envy, and capable of sympathising, with the truly great. Thrice fortunate was he in transmitting his name and fame to one• who. with the amplest intellectual resources of an accomplished scholar and philosopher, evidently cherishes the characteristic boldness of his fa ther's spirit, and upholds that liberty of conjecture which is indeed the mainspring of sagacity. Sir John Hers chel has observed about 2500 nebule, and perhaps 2000 double stars in the southern hemisphere. He has detected among them ample evidence of that change and revolu tion which had fixed his father's attention. When we consider that the Herchels, father and son. have carefully examined the whole starry firmament with 20 feet teles copes--instruments of which, in their present state of perfection, the eider of them may be said to be the inven tor—and that they have made known to us thousands of* the most interesting sidereal phenomena, it appears to us hardly an exaggeration to say, that Astronomy, be yond our own system, rests chiefly on their labours. It is generally understood that the sole object of Sir John Herschel's labours was to complete those of his father, and to develope fully those views respecting the Construc tion of the Universe which, when demonstrated, will im mortalise its author. For such an undertaking Sir John Herschel has inexhaustible materials in the journals of the observatory at Slough ; he has collected all the evi dence which the southern hemisphere can supply ; and in spired as he is, by a noble and pious purpose, we doubt not that his work, whenever it shall appear, will be reck oned one of the most remarkable monuments of modern science.—Foreign Quarterly. THE TOMB OF CHARLEMAGNE.—In 1804, when Buonaparte became known as Napoleon, he visited Aix la-Chapelle. Josephine, who accompanied him, had the caprice to sit down on the chair; but Napoleon, out of respect for Charlemagne, took off his hat, and remained for some time standing, and in silence. The following fact is somewhat remarkable :—ln 814 Charlemagne died. A thousand years afterwards, most probably about the same hour, Napoleon fell. After mounting a narrow staircase my guide conducted me to a gallery, wick is cal led the Hochmunster. In this place is the armchair of Charlemagne. It is low, exceedingly wide, with a round back,—is formed of four pieces of white marble, without ornaments or sculpture, and has for a seat an oak board, covered with a cushion of red velvet. There were six steps up to it, two of Which are of granite, the others of marble. On this chair sat,—a crown upon his head, a globe in one hand, a sceptre in the other, a sword by his side, the imperial mantle over his shoulders, the cross of Christ round his neck, and his feet in the sarcophagus of Augustus,—Carolo Magno in his tomb, in which attitude he remained for three hundred and fifty-two years, from 814 to 1166, when Frederick Barberousse, coveting the chair for his coronation, entered the tomb. Barberousse was an illustrious prince and a valiant soldier, and it must therefore have been a moment singularly strange when this crowned man stood before the crowned corpse of Charlemagne,—the one in all the majesty of empire, the other in all the majesty of death. The soldier over came the shades of greatness ; the living became the des poliator of inanimate worth. The chapel claimed the skeleton, and Barberousse the marble chair, which after wards became the throne where thirty-six emperors were crowned. Ferdinand the First was the last ; Charles the Fifth preceded him. The coronation of the German emperors now takes place at Frankfort. * * * In that fatal year, 1814, the allied sovereigns visited the tomb of the great Carolo. Alexander of Russia, took off his hat and uniform ; Frederick William of Prussia kept on his casquette de petite tenue ; Francis retained his sur tout and round bonnet. The King of Prussia stood upon the marble steps, receiving information from the prevOte of the chapitre respecting the coronation of the emperors of Germany ; the two emperors remained silent, Napo leon, Josephine, Alexander, Frederick William, and Francis, are now no more !—The Rhine. VARIETIES. The mahogany tree is full grown in 200 years. Cyprus trees are known to be 800 or 900 years old.

Glass scratches an iron hammer, proving that it is harder than iron ; yet glass is the very type of fragility, yielding to the stroke of soft wood, or, indeed, of almost any thing. " IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED."—A man living at Su resne, having descended a few days back into a wine vat, was overcome with the g,s generated therein, and was unable to ascend. His wife, in her anxiety to succour him, was also overpowered, and both perished. A PORTRAIT!—When a certain lady, who had been charmed by his writings, but had never seen his person, wrote to Mirabeau, saying how much she longed to see him, and begging that he would describe himself to her, he complied with the wish of the fair enthusiast, in these brief and self-adulatory terms : " Figure to yourself a tiger that has had the small-pox." THE ART OF STIOPPING.—" What's the price of this article ?" inquired a deaf old lady. " Seven shillings," said the draper. . Seventeen shillings !" she exclaimed ; " I'll give you thirteen." " Seven shillings," replied the honest tradesman, "is the price of the article." "Oh ! seven shillings," the lady sharply replied ; " I'll give you five !" A REMARKABLE FACT.—A Baptist clergyman and his wife, who reside in- the vicinity of Boston, have the plea sure of daily gathering round their fireside four daughters, who were born in fou r diff eren t quar ters of the globe— viz. one in Europe, one in Asia, one in Africa, and one in America—a fact probably unparalleled in the history of any other family in New England.—Boston (America) Journal. RELIEF FOR AN EDITOR.—We were apprehensive of an almost newsless summary for September, when the arrival of the intelligence of troubles in the Punjant re lieved us. There Singh, the Sikh sovereign, has, along with his sons, been murdered by his all powerful minister Ohgan Singh, the regicide himself having, on the day after the murder, fallen a victim to the dagger of the as sassin. There is no chief now strong enough to secure the sceptre without a long and bloody contest, and such turmoil is likely immediately to spring up in the country as to demand our instant interference.—Bombay Times. —[We congratulate the editor on his complete relief frora atrophy.] CHALK HOUSES !—We have heard, often enough, of wooden houses, iron houses, log huts, and the like ; but it is something new and curious to hear of chalk houses ! Yet the latter abound in the south of Russia, where the peasants use large blocks of it to construct their cot tages, barns, stables, &c. These erections last much longer than might have been supposed; and they are warm in winter, and impervious in the damps. The go ernment have lately caused four boarding schools and v . x stables to be erected of this odd material for building, the military settlements in the district of Kharko. DON'T JOKE WITH ELEPHANTS.-At the Statutes at Barnsley, on Saturday last, a country bumpkin went to look at Hilton's Collection of Wild Beasts. On enter ing the place he began to amuse himself by giving the elephant gingerbread and fruit; but, soon growing tired of that, he thought he would try what a joke would do, and accordingly he pricked the elephant's trunk with a penknife. No sooner was this done, than out of his den rushed the animal amongst the visitors, forcing the chain and the large post to which he had been fastened along with him. The elephant caught the delinquent by the collar, and threw him with great force on the ground. Up he got again quickly, and made his escape outside, but the elephant struck the temporary ceiling which the man had just passed with such force as to shiver it to pieces The scene at the moment was truly ludi men and children were laid in all directior Fortunate 0 COM- that lie did nc rt, except the elephant-pricker, hone, but who may thank his SALE OF SHIPS OF WAR.—On Tuesday afternoon, ten of her Majesty's ships of war, condemned by the Ad miralty Surveyor, were put up for sale by Dutch auction, at the Admiralty Office, Somerset House. The average price of the vessels sold did not exceed 345. per ton, ac cording to register, which was considered exceedingly low considering the construction of the old gun brigs, the class to which they chiefly belong. CAUSES OF DEATH.—CORONERS 7 INQUESTS.—From the borough coroner's accounts for the quarter ended Nov. 9th, we find that the following are the causes of death, in the 60 cases in which inquests have been held by this officer during the quarter :—Burns and scalds, 8 ; drowning, 8 ; falls, &e., 11; from horses, carts, &c., 3 ; machinery, 2; railways, 4 ; poisoning, 2; suicides, 7; found dead, 1 ; other casualties, 2 ; natural deaths, 12.

More than three million feet of yarn were consumed in its manufacture. It is for one of the inclined planes on the Hayle Railway, and in weight and size exceeds any railway rope of which we have heard. It is probably the heaviest rope ever made in the country.—West Briton. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR Josn. O'HAL LORAN, G.C.B.—We have to announce the demise of the above gallant officer, who expired at an early hour on Friday last at his town residence. Sir Joshua was youngest son of Mr. Sylvester O'Halloran, of Lime rick, and was born in 1781, so that he had been upwards of 60 years in the service, 54 of which he was in India, having during that lengthened time, we believe, never been absent on furlough. It appears from the Bankers' Circular, that the race of private bankers has ceased to exist in Scotland, the Greenock bank having merged into the 'Western Bank of Scotland. Mr. A. Thompson is to continue in its ma nagement.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. This'noble steam-ship arrived in the river this morning at half-past four. She sailed from Boston at half-past three p.m. on the Ist instant, and arrived at ncon on the third at Halifax,' at which port she remained four hours and a half. She has thus accomplished the passage from Halifax, allowing for the difference of time, in ten days and seven hours. She has brought over forty-three pas sengers, a list of whom we subjoin. She appears to have experienced strong breezes principally from the west and north-east. LIST OT PASSENGERS From Boston to Halifax:—Mr. Clarke; Mrs. Clarke; Mrs.Lesel ; Miss M.

The operations at the Board of Brokers, in New York, were to a fair extent at a slight improvement in rates. There were more enquiries for foreign exchanges at 108 to 1081 on England. The cotton market was firm at a slight advance. The Cotton market at New Orleans was rather de. pressed in consequence of the accounts received by the Acadia and Great Western steamers. Exchange there had a tendency to decline, and there was but little doing. A horrible murder was committed in New York on the 29th ult. by a man of the name of Seltzer, who after suf focating his wife set fire to the house in which they resi ded. The husband had been apprehended, and a verdict of wilful murder was returned against him. Nleetings were in course of being held in every part of Upper Canada, demanding the removal of the seat of go vernment out of that province. The newspapers are ra pidly taking it up as a question, not between Montreal and Kingston, but between the French Canadian and the Anglo-Saxon race. After a long debate in the House of Assembly the bonding of foreign cattle clause in the Agri cultural Protection Bill was adopted by the house. DIED.—On Saturday last, aged 35, Annette, the beloved daughter of Moss Joseph, Esq., of Bedford-street North, Liverpool. A STRIKING MOMENT.—That was a striking moment in the life of Louis Philippe when he pronounced his first speech to the remnants of the last Chambers of the Re storation, and when he declared he had come forward " with the firm resolution of devoting his efforts to re establish the empire of the laws ; to save, protect, endan gered liberty, and render the recurrence impossible of such great evils by securinc , for ever the power of that charta whose name, invoked during the combat, was re peated after victory." In this first address Louis Phi lippe clearly indicated the policy be was resolved to pursue. " Every right should be substantially guaranteed, all the y to their full and free exercise should maents of which they had need." institut receive the develo Again : " Attached with his whole heart, and from con viction, to the -principles of a free government, he ac cepted all its consequences beforehand." That Europe might at once understand that his was an orderly and pa cific mind, and that his government would partake of the same characteristics, he declared,—" Yes, gentlemen, this land of France, so dear to me, will be happy and free ; it will prove to Europe that, solely engaged in promoting its internal prosperity, it cherished peace as much as liberty, and only wishes for the happiness and repose of its neighbours. This was the programme of the lieute nant-general ; and, after thirteen years of a most labo rious and agitated reign, he is as faithful to that programme now as he has ever been, amidst all the fury of factions and the desperate violence of anarchists.—Fraser. AMERICA. AND ITS CREDITORS.—Among the discus sions to which the moral lubricities of this insolvent peo - have given birth, they have arro ga t e d t o themselve s log in g them is rich, and who F .uper ot)jects of compassionate pay ment; but in the name of Mercury, the great god of thieves, did any man ever hear of debtors alleging the wealth of the lender as a reaaon for eluding the payment of the loan ? Is the Stock Exchange a place for the tables of the money-lenders ; or is it a school of moralists, who may amerce the rich, exalt the poor, and correct the ini quities of fortune ? is Biddle an instrument in the hands of Providence to exalt the humble and send the rich empty away ? Does American Providence work with such in struments as Biddle? But the only good part of this bad morality is not acted upon. The rich are robbed, but the poor are not paid • they growl against the dividend of Dives. and don't fike the sores of Lazarus. They seize with loud acclamations on the money-bags of Jones Lloyd, Rothschild, and Baring, but they do not give back the pittance of the widow, and the bread of the child. Those knaves of the setting sun may call me rich, for I have a twentieth part of the income of the Archbishop of Canterbury ; but the curate of the next parish is a wretched soul, bruised by adversity • and the three hundred pounds for his children, which it adversity; taken his life to save, is eat and drunken by the mean men of Pennsylvania—by men who are always talking of the virtue and honour of the United States—by men who soar above others in what they say, and sink below all nations in what they do—who, after floating on the heaven of declamation, fall down to feed on the offal and garbage of the earth.—Sydney Smith's Letter. urtere, ru, yyood executed Nvith superior br e„ir tuna aPPl"''' 1 the part of Eh:in() house was well attz Iliad veral , at at
