New Monthly. H. Colburn, London The facetious and witty Thomas Hood has stepped into poor Theodore Hook's seat, and ably does he seem to drive along the capital team in this monthly " vehicle" for amuse ment and entertainment. Not having received any previous numbers of this periodical, some of the tales contained In it are, to us, unintelligible, and, therefore, we can say little about them. The opening tale is powerfully told, entitled " The Tower of Lalmeck." Oue would hardly imagine the editor, the very prince of jokers, to be able to tell so sad a history. " Bajazet Gay," by Douglas Jerrold, is concluded. We have seen this tale frequently quoted ; it is a severe satire on men and things theatrical. " Foreign Sporting," by Nim rod, is an amusing description of the way they manage mat ters in France of a sporting nature. " Recollections of Eton," by an Etonian, is a capitally told remeniscence. " Short Rides in an Author's Omnibus " are good, and run pleasantly enough. " Phineas Quiddy," by Mr. Paul Pry Poole, appears from the specimen before us to be an admira bly written story. It is quite clear the New Monthly sustains its reputation as one of the leading periodicals of the day. Blackwood': Magazine, Blackwood, Edinburgh The opening paper contains some able reflections upon the things of the day—such as the Libel Law, Sympathisers, Banks, the Slave Trade, Lord Roden, &c. The article en titled " Roadside Sketches" is ably written. The writer makes some excellent and just comparisons between travel- ling in England and on the Continent. " The World of London," Part 9, descants upon the homeless people of the metropolis. This is one of the best of the series. It shows that the author is familiar with what he writes about. The descriptions of various well-known haunts of the hungry are true and faithful. The extravagant salaries of the poor-law magnates are remarked upon, in a style that must meet an echo in every heart. The writer's indignation is justly raised—that while they can enjoy enormous salaries, they take every means of reducing the comforts of the poor, and rendering the needy still more miserable. We should like to see the itinerant commissioner reduced for a week or two to some of his prescribed broth. " The Northern Circuit" is the commencement of a series of papers illustrative of the life of a a commercial traveller. The present contains the history of Mr. Hogginbuck. It is inimitably narrated. Such a circumstance as set forth in it may perhaps appear too ab surd and overdrawn ; it may be a leetle too much so ; but the impudence of commercial travellers will induce them to do any thing. " Caleb Stukely" is the commencement of a new tale. It promises well. " Father Judkins' Maledic tion" is a fearful Irish story, founded on facts. The clever papers entitled " Ten Years of the Whigs" are concluded. The attention of every politician is drawn to them. They will amply repay perusal. The Dublin University Magazine. Walmsley, Liverpool. The Dublin University this good month of February opens with an elaborate article on the corn laws : at this time, when the attention of parliament is to be brought to the subject, a perusal will benefit all who take any interest in the matter. Every point appears to be well considered and ably argued. " Nuts and Nut-crackers " is an amusingly written paper, in which are introduced various topics now current amongst conversationists. Sir Peter Laurie and his aversion to lads with long hair, which by the way reminds us of old Parke's antipathy to long noses and large whiskers, occupies the at tention of the essayist. Transportation, the revenue, the repeal of the union, and natural prejudices, are also con sidered. The writer proposes an extraordinary mode of saving the country a round sum. We next find Miss M. A. Browne contributing a graceful poem, suggested by a picture of Mr. Midge's, which was exhibited in the Liverpool Gallery last year. Mr. Stephens' new work on Central America comes under review, and is favourably mentioned : from the extracts it will, we think, become as popular as his former travels.—No. 17 of the Anthologia Germanica in this month's number makes its appearance. "The Dying Flower" is a very sweet specimen of German poetry, supposing even that some of its beauty has been lost in the translation. The reviewer's attention has been occupied by three works on th e Pyrenees by Mrs. Ellis. Mr. Murray, and Mr. Inglis. The tale entitled " The Death Blow," is well told ; the subject is of a melancholy cast. The Portrait Gallery presents us with the face and figure of Dr. Graves. A most interesting memoir of him accompanies the etching. The second letter from Italy is sketchy but amusing. The proposal of a parish priest to reconcile the protestant and Roman catholic churches is continued. The subject of the present article or communication is the celibacy of the priesthood. The writer argues with temper and ability. This number, although not a brilliant one, is replete with sound sense, information, and will provide reading for steady well-behaved folks. Tail's Edinburgh Magazine. February, 1842 The present number of Tait is, as usual, excellent in its literary matter; and, to those who approve of its political opinions, we have no doubt, equally excellent in its articles upon those subjects. We, of course, who are politically op posed to the principles of which this magazine is the advo eate cannot, we confess, see much profundity in the political articles which it contains. In particular, " The next Move of the Reformers" is the merest twaddle which we have lately encountered ; aid we shall scarcely be able to resist placing it some of these days before our readers. The Monthly Magazi ne . Fehruar y , 1 842 London. C Mitchell, Red Lion Court, Fleet-. ee The Monthly, for February, tef improves upon its predecessor; an d, we venture to predict, will, before long, occupy the first ran k amongst our periodical literature. Had the present w num ber been inferior to what it is, could have pardoned it, f ro m a consideration of the distressing e circumstances under whic h it has been got up for the public err death, during the month, of Miss Isabel Hill, eye, viz.—the ll' h the efo amiable and b e loved siste r of the editor ; and it is t with grea t e r confidenc e that, judging from this month's effort only, we confidently anticipate an increased measure of excellence in those which will succeed it. Of the seventeen articles and poems which compose the number before us we shall not attempt to particularize those IN hi e h most meet with our approbation. We cannot, b ow _ ever, avoid noticing the '6 Memoir of the late Isabel Hill," by the editor, which is no less pleasing as a notice of the life of a n a m i a ble and talented English authoress than as the fond tribute of a brother and a gentleman. We pity the heart of that man which can pernse this affecting tribute of fraternal /Love without a feeling a admiration for her whose simple - 1-..‘,e all, for him who is the Listory it chronicl affectionate chronicler. In the present crowded state of Mir Columns we regret that we canna afford space for an extract as a specimen of the materiel of the Monthly. In another publication, how ever, we shall place before our readers some portion of the amusing contents of the present number. Tyais Shakspeare. Tyas, London . ,•.• This beautiful edition of the work; of " the bright heir of f am e" continues to be issued in its usual style of correctness, and spirit in illustration. No. 31 contains the conclusion to the tragedy of King Lear, and the notes upon it No. 32 contains the commencement, and 33 the conclusion, of Othello, with the commencement of Coriolanus. The first and second volumes of the work are now completed. Each drama contains upon an average 25 ili us t rat i o _ us The whole Since the above was in type we have had another arrival from America, the Stephen Whitney, bringing New York papers to the 15th instant. The news is not important. The Herald of the 15th publishes some private correspond ence from Mexico, which developes a singular state of feeling in the Mexican government towards both Texas and the United States. That paper states that from these details, and from the undisguised movements of Santa Ana, there can be no doubt but an attack will be made on Texas at no distant day ; and if so, the war will continue till the Anglo- Saxon race plant their standard on the heights of Mexico herself.

Fraser, Regent-street On the cover of this magazine may be seen a sprig of strawberries and a stalk of thistles. How typical are they of its contents! Fraser is always full of sweetness and rich- nen, pungency, point and satire ; and good things of "such a caste" are there to be boon rod, that clever, sometimes amusin present number but always egotistical and conceited writer, occupies the first place this month by " His Life." His lavish praise of his father and his mother, uncles, and aunts, and acquaintances is quite laughable—to say nothing of his narratives about himself. Capt. Orlando Sabertash contributes an article on " Manners, Fashion, and Things in General." Courtship and lovemaking, two de lightful occupations, claim the attention of his pen. Bril liantly and sparklingly does he dilate upon these subjects, adducing instances and " cases in point " to add force to his arguments, throw truth over Lis assertions, and weight to his wholesome advice ; a gallant captain is " Orlando Saber tash." " Misther Brallagan's second letter to Oliver Yorke" is one of the best things we hay a for a long time transactions of " The Deipu re told in a genuine, "Milliken and the humorous style The proceedings of Countess of ---- ' are enough to provoke laughter in a man These letters from Mr. I3rallaga❑ are with a raging tooth choice bits of waggery. The very favourable review of Dr. Granville's clever work on " The Spas of England" will Induce many readers, no doubt, to procare it ; the reviewer has not at all too highly praised it. " The Chapter on the Dogs of several of my Acquaintances" introduces us to Mr. Currie's," Turk," in which we perceive the fruits of avarice, cunning, and gullibility. " The \Vet Afternoon" is a Leigh Huntiah essay : it is charmingly written. " A Day and Night among the Mountains" will greatly interest the reader. A review on Viscount Chateaubriand's work, " Sketches of English Literature," and an " Essay on Russian Fabulists," with specimens, close the number, which, taken altogether, is a good one. , 1;4114K4. Punch. Wareing WeLn, Liverpool There is only one step they say from the sublime to the ridiculous : the present is a case in point. Above we have made remarks after having contemplated some of the works of I . the greatest poet th a t e ver wro t e ; and now before us, present ing itself to view, comes Punch—equally immortal as the great bard we admit. but certainly not quite so sublime. Punch without exception, is the merriest production of the present day. There is more whim, satire, and jokery in his three penny-worth than in many a magazine at half-a-crown. The January part contains the almanac—which, per se, is the very quintessence of merriment—some capital pencillings, good stories, anecdotes, absurdities, and jests. Those who have read the almanac—what .a queer term by the way— " read the almanac !"—but it must be read to be enjoyed— have seen the fate of Jinks and the Coal case. At page 36 we tind the Slate Merchant " trying his own coals." Punch has not a compeer in the republic of letters. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, UNITED STATES, The following ought to have appeared in our publication of Tuesday, but was unavoidably postponed : At a late hour on Sunday we had an arrival from New York. The ship Southerner, Capt. Palmer, reached the river with New York papers of the 13th ; they contain some interesting American parliamentary news. In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr. Calhoun moved a resolution, calling for information in regard to the case of murder and mutiny on board of the Creole, and asking what step the executive had taken in reference to the trunsaction, having for its object the redress of the wrong done to American citizens, and the insult offered to the American flag. On the 11th the reso lution was taken up for consideration. Some debate having arisen on the proposal of an amendment to substitute " per sons " for " slaves," Mr. Calhoun condemned publications which had applauded and justified the mutiny and murder, the tendency and object of which were to fortify the preten sions of Great Britain in hostility to the rights of the United States. He warned the south to awaken from their lethargy, and to guard against combinations now menacing their in stitutions. Several gentlemen having delivered their senti ments on this subject, Mr. Clay rose to deliver his. He had, he said, witnessed the occurrence on board the Creole with deep regret, because it added infinitely to existing difff culties with Great Britain.. A case had occurred in which, by mutiny and murder, a vessel was thrown in the power of Great Britain. Were they to give up the murderers, or in demnify the United States, or not ? If not, then Ameri cans were denied the freedom of their own coasting trade, and no vessel could sail from one port to another in the South Atlantic without incurring the risk of seizure. He hoped Great Britain would see the necessity of doing Ame rica justice in this case. Mr. Calhoun's resolution was adopted nem. con. In the money market at New York the principal topic of conversation was the dishonour and protest of a draft drawn drawn by Mr. Everett, the American minister in London, and negotiated there, on the American government, for 12,000 dollars. PORTUGAL CHANGE or MlNlSTERS. — Dispatches from Portugal are from Gibraltar the 27th, Cadiz 28th, and Lisbon the 31st ult The attempt to overthrow the constitution had fully suc ceeded at Oporto, where the charter was proclaimed on the 27th by the municipality, with the full concurrence of the garrison ; and a provisional government appointed with Costa Cabral, the ex-minister of justice, for its chief. This news occasioned great consternation at Lisbon, where the ministers, for the purpose of averting the suspicion that they favoured the move movement of Costa Cabral, had decided on tender ing their resignations, which, however, the Queen refused to accept. They would only consent to return to office on a pledge that Costa Cabral should be dismissed, which was re luctantly given and redeemed. In spite of her majesty's compliance with their demands, however, they eventually resigned in earnest, and the Queen is now occupied in forming a new administration. The Duke of Terceira had declined to become a member of the new cabinet. An application to the Duke of Palmella was more successful, he having accepted the presidency of the council. The other members of the new cabinet are said to be Jose da Silva Carvalho, minister of finance, the Baron de Cam panha, minister of war, and Jervis d'Atonguia, minister of marine. The departments of justice and the interior had not been filled up when the Margaret sailed. A majority of the deputies in Lisbon had protested against the movement. INDIA AND CHINA Our last publication contained a few brief particulars of the operations of out troops in China, and we now supply the details connected with the interesting and important events of the capture of Chusan and Chinhae. CAPTURE OF CRUSAN The Chinese haveVeeiiir;ilefatigabic in croon s batteries since the British forces werc withdrawn in February last; and it is almost inconceivable that so much has been done by them. From the western extremity, outside Guard Island, to the eastern termination of their works, which extend half a mile beyond the commanding position of the Joss-house or Temple-hill, (now greatly strengthened,) there is a conti nued line of strong battery on the sea-face, principally con structed of mud, comprising 267 embrasures of guns, and 95 of various calibre, actually mounted on different points, in dependently of 41 planted on the ramparts of the city, and numerous ginjalls in every direction. The rapidity of the tides in the different channels of Chusan harbour is so great as to render large ships frequently quite unmanageable, even with the assistance of steam-vessels ; and the chance of placing them in any precise position for action so uncertain, that it was at once seen our object would be best effected by landing troops, seamen and marines, to the westward of the sea defences, and take them in reverse. Our resources in boats did not admit of more than one co lumn being landed at a time, including a portion placed in the Fhlegethon and Nemesis, and finding these small vessels had scarcely time to tow the boats with the troops against the tide, I was compelled to keep the Sesostris to facilitate their disembarkation. With this additional assistance it was nearly half-past ten o'clock before the first column, under the gallant commander-in-chief, reached the shore, when they were assailed by a heavy discharge ofjingalls and match locks from the heights, but immediately formed. and sup ported by the fire of the ships, the advance quickly ascended the bill, and gallantly carried every thing before them, al though a more resolute stand was made by the Chinese than had been previously made in any encounter with them. The marines and part of the seamen were landed as fast as the boats could return from them, but before the second column got on shore the Chinese abandoned the western end of their sea defences, which were entered by part of the troops of the first column, who completely cleared the line of batteries, and took possession of the Joss-house-hill. The steam-vessels moved into the inner harbour as soon as the troops were landed, to assist in the reduction of Tinghae, on which the main body was rapidly advanced; the walls were escaladed without opposition, and by two p.m., the British colours were flying in every direction. Thirty-six new and well cast brass guns are mounted in the batteries, and will be shipped in one of the transports. I believe a considerable store of government rice has been found in the city. I fear the troops have suffered a loss of one ensign and one private killed, and about 24 men wounded. Tha casualties in the squadron are confined to one seaman in the Cruiser severely wounded, (since dead,) another slightly wounded, and one man of the Phlegethon slightly wounded. The Blonde had one of her quarter deck guns disabled, but no further mischief was sustained. CAPrURE OF CHINIIAE. The city of Chinhae, which is enclosed by a wall thirty seven feet in thickness, and twenty-two feet high, with an embrasured parapet of four feet high, and nearly two miles in circumference, is situated at the foot of a very command ing pensular height which forms the entrance of the Tahee river on its left or north bank. On the summit is the cita del, which, from its strong position, is considered the key to Chinhae, and the large and opulent city of Ningpo, about 15 miles up the river; and it is so important as a military post, that I trust I may be excused for attemptjng to describe it. It stands about 250 feet above the sea, and is encircled also by a strong wall with very substantial iron-plated gates at the east and west ends. The north and south sides of the height are exceedingly steep ; the former accessible only from the sea by a narrow winding path from the rocks at its base; the south side and eastern end being nearly precipi tous. At the east end of the citadel, outside its walls, 21 guns were. mounted in three ,batteries .ot- masonry and sand bags, to defend the entrauce a the river. The only communication between the citadel and city is on the west side, by a steep but regular causeway, to a barrier gate at the bottom of the hill, where a wooden bridge, over a wet ditch, connects it with the isthmus and the gates of the city, the whole of which are covered with iron plates, and strongly secured. The space on the isthmus between the ci tadel bill and the city wall is filled up, towards the sea, with a battery of five guns, having a row of strong piles driven in a little beach in front of it, to prevent a descent in that quar ter ; and on the river side of the isthmus are two batteries adjoining the suburbs, and mounting 22 and 19 guns, for flanking the entrance : 28 guns of different sizes, and num berless ginjalls, were also planted on the city w alls, princi pally towards the sea. The main body of the Chinese forces were posted on the right bank of the river, in fortified encampments, on very commanding and steep hills ; field works and entrenchments being thrown up in every advantageous position, with 23 guns and innumerable ginjalls mounted in them, to impede the advance of the troops. The principal landing place on this side is within a considerable creek, close to the south entrance of the river, and across this creek we found a row of piles driven. Four batteries, mounting 31 guns, were also newly constructed on this side of the river, to flank the entrance, and about half a mile above its mouth a similar obstruction, of larger piles, was carried completely across, space only be ing left for one junk to pass at a time. In short, the Chi nese had exercised their ingenuity to the utmost to make their defences secure, and a great amount of treasure and labour must have been expended in the execution of these works, fully evincing the importance which they attached to this position. The plan of attack agreed upon by the General and myself was to laud the troops in two columns on the right bank of the river, inside the small islands called the Triangles ; the main body, under his immediate command (about 1040 strong), to disembark a short. distance beyond the creek above referred to; the other (about 500 strong) immediately at its entrance, where it appeared to us practicable to put them securely on shore outside the piles, under cover of one of the brigs, good anchorage being found within a few yards of the spot. _ _ _ _ _ _ The attack of the citadel and city on the left bank t of the river was assigned to the naval branch of the force ened by about 23 of the Ro y al, and 12 o f the Madras reslgrt il- lery, under Lieutenan ts the Hon, F. S p ence r and Moles. wo rth, and 50 Sappers , under C a p t ai n Cotton and Lieut. Johnston, ofthe Madras Engineers. It was calculated that the advance of the two columns of troops by different routes, would not only sec ure ever y point on the right bank, but cut off the retreat of many of the Chinese; and, by a simulta neous bambardment of the citadel and city, by the squadron, we entertained confident hopes of complete success, which has been happily realised in every respect, On the evening of the 9th the whole of the squadron, and the transports, were anchored off Chin hae, in convenient p racticable - . The citadel hill cannot be approached for an attack by large ships, except on the north side, and the water in that direction is so shallow, that it is only in the calmest weather that they can be carried with safety sufficiently near to tire with effect. The day was fortunately every thing we could desire, and the Wellesley, as soon as the tide served was towed by the Sesostris into an excellent position, where the anchor was dropped, about a quarter before nine o'clock, in four fathoms, about 130 j yards from the citadel and town walls. As the water ebbed, she settled imperceptibly into a bottom of soft mud, and was as steady as a land battery, Commander Ormsby (with very commendable activity) im mediately afterwards brought in the Blenheim ; the Blonde and Modeste, favoured by a light breeze, too their stations under sail, and every ship was placed to my entire satisfac tion, as close as possible; the Blenheim and Modeste touch ing the bottom at low water. The precision of the fire, both of shots and shells, from all, exceeded my most sanguine ex pectations ; and the destruction of the works from the com mencement of the attack was never doubtful. As the troops on the right bank of the river moved forward, Commander Giffard advanced the sloops towards the entrance of the harbour, and the steamers all took up very good posi tions, and performed excellent service with their guns; they were for a considerable time under a heavy fire from the river batteries, but fortunately sustained no damage. About eleven o'clock we had the gratification of seeing the British colours planted by the troops on One of the batteries on the opposite shore, and within a few minutes the others on that side were all carried, and the Chinese observed flying in all directions before our gallant.soldiers on the heights. At a quarter past eleven the wall of the citadel was breached by the fire from the ships, and the defences being reduced to a ruinous state, the Chinese abandoned their guns, which they had hitherto worked with considerable firmness, and a large portion of the garrison retreated precipitately toward the city. Not a moment was lost in making the signal for landing the battalion of seamen and marines, with the de tachments of artillery and sappers (the whole under the command of Captain Herbert, of the Blenheim.) Before noon the boats were all on shore; every impediment pre sented by the difficulty of landing on rugged rocks was over come, and the force gallantly advanced to the assault, with a celerity that excited my warmest admiration. An ex plosion at this time took place in a battery near the citadel gate, and the remnant of the garrison fled without waiting to close it. The citadel was therefore rapidly entered, and the union-jack displayed on the walls. Our people had scarcely passed within theM, when another explosion oc curred, happily without mischief, but whether by accident or design is uncertain. Captain Herbert having secured this post, quickly reformed his men, and advanced towards the city ; the Chinese still occupying in considerable force the walls of it, as well as the batteries beneath the hill on the river side, against which our troops had already turned some of the guns taken on the bank. A few vollies of musquetry speedily dislodged them from both positions, and the battalion of seamen and marines pushed on in steady and excellent order to attack the city. The wall (26 feet high) was escaladed in two places, and in a short time complete possession was taken of Chinhae, the Chinese troops hating made their escape through the western gates. While in the act of scaling the city wall, a third and for midable explosion took place at one of the river batteries, withic a short distonce, by which I regret one man of the Blenheim was killed ; there is strong suspicion that it was caused by a mine, intentionally sprung ; and considering the number of our men which were assembled at the time, it is most providential that the consequences were not more dis astrous. WINDSOR COURT CIRCULAR.-WEDNESDAY This morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert took walking exercise. . In the afternoon her Majesty rode out in a pony phaeton, the Prince driving, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses the Princes Ferdinand, Augustus, and Leopold of Saxe Co burg, and attended by Lady Jocelyn, the Hon. H. Paget, and the Hon. G. Liddell, in pony carriages. The Earl of Mor ton, Captain Duncombe, and Col. Wylde were on horse back. . The band of the royal horse guards (blue) will be in attendance at the Castle this evening. Since yesterday there has been a most favourable change in the weather, and from present appearances her Majesty may anticipate a fine day to-morrow, for her journey to Brighton. Their Serene Highnesses the Duke Ferdinand, and Prince Augustus and Prince Leopoid of Saxe Coburg, attended by their respective suites, took a carriage airing in the Great Park. Her Majesty will take her departure for the Pavilion at an unusually early hour to-morrow. The royal carriages are commanded to be in waiting in the quadrangle at 8 o'clock. From the extremely heavy state of the roads between Wind sor and Brighton, it is expected that the journey (a distance of 64 miles) will not be performed in less than seven hours. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will not leave Clarence House for the Pavilion until Friday. The Court, upon leaving Brighton, will proceed to town, and remain at Buckingham Palace until a few days before Easter, when her Malesty will return to the castle. The only addition to the royal dinner party, this evening, is Lieut.-Colonel Bouverie. Covers will be laid at the Pavilion, to-morrow evening, for twenty-two. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Her M'ajesty's private hand, and the band of the royal horse guards (blue) will be in attendance at the castle this The route her Majesty will take to Brighton, to-morrow, will be through Hampton Court, Ewell, Reigate, Crawley, and Hickstead. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON WEDNESDAY (Front yesterday's Times.) More than the usual amount of interest was evinced yes terday evening, both in and out of the house, to hear the re sult of Sir Robert Peel's exposition of the intentions of go vernment with reference to the corn-laws. At an early hour a large body of persons had congregated in the neighbourhood of the members entrance to the house, and a considerable number had also assembled in the lobby for the purpose of obtaining admission into the Stranger's Gallery. As soon as the door was opened a violent rush ensued, and every seat was in a few minutes occupied. There was a sufficient num ber of persons with orders from members to fill a gallery six times the size to that appropriated to the use of strangers. A few minutes after four o'clock a number of the anti-corn-law delegates marched in procession down Parliament-street, to the house, and made an attempt to station themselves in the lobby. Had this been permitted, the members of the house would have experienced great difficulty in obtaining admission. To avoid this dilemma, the police and officers on duty were compelled to oppose their entrance, and at one time it was thought that a deadly conflict would have ensued. After a considerable expenditure of ammunition in the shape of abusive epithets, the delegates retired from the field, and stationed themselves outside the house, from which situation they saluted the different members as they passed with cries of " No sliding scale," " Total repeal," Fixed duty," &c. It was evident, that even among the opponents of the corn laws out of the house, there did not exist anything like unanimity of opinion. In the House of Commons the scene was particularly animating. By half-past four o'clock the benches were nearly filled, and by five the house was literally crammed. Below the bar was seen a number of distinguished strangers ; among them the Duke of Cambridge was very conspicuous. He appeared to listen with marked attention to the whole of Sir R. Peel's speech. The Premier did not enter the house until a quarter to five. Every eye was di rected towards him. After taking his seat he conversed briefly with Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham, and ex actly at four minutes after five he rose and requested that the house resolve itself into a committee to consider the trade in, corn. He then requested that the Clerk of the House should read that portion of her Majesty speech relating to the subject. Sir R. Peel's speech was listened to with profound attention. His observations for the first hour and a half were principally of an introductory character, and it was not until after he had been speaking for nearly two hours, that he made any direct allusions to the modifications of the corn law which the go vernment intended to suggest for the consideration of parlia ment. We noticed a number of the leading members of the House busily engaged in taking copious notes of Sir Robert Peel's speech. Lord J. Russel was so employed. Mr. C. Buller, Mr. Ewart, and the member for Manchester, Mr. Cobden, were similarly occupied. It was curious to notice the intense anxiety exhibited whenever Sir Robert Peel was thought to be about to develope his plans, and when he did at last commence his explanation of the contemplated propo sals of government, the members in the side galleries rose almost in a body from their seats, and leaned anxiously for ward in order to catch every word that escaped from the Premier's lips. After the ministerial scheme had been pro pounded, arid Sir Hobert Peel had read the scale of du ties which he proposed to substitute for those now in existence, considerable excitement was manifested in the opposition benches, and immediately a number of members rushed out of the house for the purpose, as we thought, of communicating to their friends, the Anti-Corn- Law delegates, the - piitfeiplee of Sir. R. Peel's-measure. No discussion followed the premier's 'speech, and none was an ticipated. Lord J. Russell merely requested that some return which Sir R. Peel alluded to be laid upon the table, and an adjournment was on the eve of being proposed, when Mr. Cobden, looking exceedingly lachrymose, rose from his seat for the purpose, as it was generally thought, of inflicting upon the house one of his stereotyed corn-law speeches, but as it was clearly evident to the hon. member, that his own friends were not disposed to listen patiently to a long ha rangue, he had the good sense to bottle up his indignation for a future occasion. Lord Ashburton has fixed to-day for his departure for Spithead, where the frigate now lies in which he is to embark for New York. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, it is said, was robbed on Wednesday evening, on his way to Kingstown, to embark for Liverpool, of two hundred pounds. This sum was ab- stracted from a carpet bag. The city gold chain had an escape; but this ancient purtenance of authority is quite safe, as his lordship had the childish vanity to walk into the House of Commons with the ornament around his neck.-- Dublin Evening Mail. Loss OF ONE OF THE HASTINGS AND LONDON TRADING SMACKS.—We sincerely regret to have to record this dis tressing event, which took place yesterday week. The James, which had been unloading on the beach during the previous tide, was hove off the shore through a heavy surf, and succeeded in getting under weigh, the wind then blow ing heavily from the S.S.W. When off Fairlight Church, it was observed by the people on shore that something was wrong, as the vessel bore up, lowering her foresail and haul ing up the main-tack. Misgivings arose in the minds of some that she had shifted her ballast, but no danger was ap prehended. The rain coming on, she was lost sight of in the mist, and seen no more. On Friday the ton-mast of a fore and-aft-rigged vessel was discovered above water about three miles to the southward of Rye harbour. by the Phcenix, also one of the London traders ; and the James not having ar rived in London, for the first time fears were entertained for her safety. During Saturday morning a fore-hatch, marked with the name of the unfortunate vessel, was picked up, as well as several sou'westers. When the Plicenix floated in the afternoon of Saturday, she immediately bore fur the wreck, and cutting off a portion of the top-mast, found their i worst fears realized. The vessel had sunk n about six fathoms water, and every hand must have perished. The Phoenix immediately returned to Hastings with the melan choly tidings. The crew consisted of Robert Phillips, mas ter, who has left a wife and one child, Thomas Carpenter, mate, who has left four orphan children, and Charles Sweet man, i Rich ar d W ren h am, an d Willi am Ball. The supposi tion s, that the ballast having shifted, the vessel could not sustain the squalls, and consequently filled and sunk. She was the property of Mr. J. Breeds, jun.—Times, Thursday. TIGHT LACING.—Pn Saturday last, a fine blooming girl, aged 14, daughter of Mr. Palmer, of the Crown Inn, Chard, after running a short distance, complained of a pain in her side, fell down, and died Shortly afterwards. A post mortem examination was made by N, W: Spicer, Esq., and it was found that death was caused Immediately by the rupture of a blood vessel on the lungs, induced by the running and the pressure of tightly-laced stays. RAILWAYS.—It appears that railway companies are to be subject to further parliamentary c6ntroul. On Thursday, in the House of Commons, Sir T. Freemantle gave notice that it was the intention of the. Vice-President of the Board of Trade, on the Bth instant, to move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of railways. THE LATEST Intstirsm.—The Derry Sentinel gives us " the latest" in its way, the prpposition by a town councillor of that city to divide the year into six quarters. Now we have one in its way, " most positively" the latest. A friend of ours, residing not a hundred miles from Dublin -street, while drying at the fire a letter which he had just written, and happening to scorch it, immediately appended the follow ing P.S. :—" Please excuse this ; don't blame me for it. It was burned in the Postoffice."—Carlow Paper. A young woman, named Clotilde Falcoz, only 24 years of age, who had been seduced and abandoned by a young man, came from Paris a few days since to Noyers, in the Saone et Loire, and there, in the hotel where she took up her abode, destroyed herself with the fumes of charcoal. She had brought a brazier and a supply of charcoal with her from Paris in her trunk. Before carrying her fatal design into execution, she wrote a long letter of four pages to her faith less lover, in which she begged that he would have her buried by the side of his own mother. THE LATE VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO NEW OATE.—It was stated by mistake in some of the newspapers, that on the 31st of January, when his Majesty the King of Prussia visited Newgate, Mrs. Fry read to the prisoners in some religious work ; what she selected that day being the 12th chapter of Romans, and one of the Psalms. It is the invariable practice, not only of Mrs. Fry, but of all the ladies in connexion with the several prison committees when read ing to the prisoners, to confine themselves entirely to the truths conta►ned in the Holy Scriptures. SACERDOTAL COURTS.—The Cork Constitution again calls attention to the fact of their reverences the - Romish clergy having established the above tribunals throughout various parts of the country. The justice-priests sit generally twice a-week ; summonses are issued ; a jury, where a complicated case occurs, regularly impanelled ; and, of course, the deci sion of the holy man must be meekly bowed to, under the penalties prescribed by " Mother Church." The Constitu tion directs the attention of one or two of the local magis tracy to the existence of this shameful abuse of the laws. It may be that the old leaven of the inquisition has not yet en tirely evaporated, did a fitting time occur for its development. THE FUNDS—WEDNESDAY EVENING,—This has been a quiet day in the funds, with but trifling variations, although with a slight improvement in prices. Consols left off 89 sellers for money and buyers for account. Exchequer Bills 19s to 21s premium. India Stock 243 to 5. Bank Stock 167 to 8. Towards the close of the market the appearance of a few buyers led to an unexpected rise in Spanish of about 1 per cent., but a slight re-action left the Active with the Coupons at 241 to 4, or abdtt 4 better than the closing prices yof esterday. Portuguese Five per Cents were 32 to 1, the Three per Cents 19 to 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents improved to 514 to 1, the Five per Cents 1011 to 4. Belgian 103 to 4. Brazilian 654 to 663. Mexican 324 to 1. Colom bian 214 to 24. A party of the directors of the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, accompanied by Mr. Birkinshaw, the engineer and other officers of the company, made an excursion yesterday along the newly ,constructed portion of their line from this town to Nether Whitacre, thus completing the railway from Birmingham to Derby, which is opened to the public this day. The directors expressed themselves much vraiineu .r eh 44. rk., inspected en route, and also with the solidity and admirable state of the line. A very elegant and commodious station, adapted to the increased traffic which may now be expected on the line has been erected at the terminus near to the Grand Junction station. —Birmingham Herald, Thursday. DIVISION AMONG THE JEWS.—The declaration of ex communication issued by the Chief Rabbi and Bethdin of the German and Portuguese synagogues of London, against the members of the West London Synagogue of British Jews ( Burton-street, Burton-crescent), was recently in due course, forwarded by Sir Moses Montifiore, (as president of the board of deputies) to the four wardens of the Western Synagogue (St. Alban 's-place), for proclamation. Three of the four refusing to allow of of its publication in their synagogue, the question was referred to the " managing committee" thereof, by whom it was rejected on , a division ; the numbers being seven against three; and a sub-committee was accordingly reappointed to prepare a letter of reply to Sir Moses Monti fiore, setting forth the reasons of the decision. The recep tion given to the Chief Rabbi's bull of excommunication at Portsmouth has been similar, the president of that synagogue having at once communicated it to the flames. What recep tion it will meet with at other places remains to be seen. TILE IRISH COURT. —On Thursday evening the Lord- Lieutenant and the Countess De Grey gave their first state ball at Dublin Castle, in honour of the christening of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Upwards of SOO of the nobility, and the elite of the resident gentry, and those now visiting the metropolis with their families—attracted by the brilliancy of the court, and drawn hither by the splendour of the society now assembled—were present on the occasion. The fete was on the most magnificent scale, and was never equalled by anything before seen in this country. Persons competent to decide, by a comparison with entertainments of a similar nature given at Buckingham Palace, affirm that that of Thursday evening was not surpassed by those within the halls of royalty itself. And yet amid all this gorgeous display—amidst viands rich and vintages rare—surrounded by massive plate, and the tables decorated with the most costly and beautifully-executed designs—all gave way before the condescending and graceful ease and polite hospitalities of the noble host and hostess, and the unceasing attentions of every member of the viceregal household.—Dublin Even ing Mail. We learn from the Agra Ilkaar, that Captain Skinner, of the Indus commissariat, was in Caboul at the time of the in surrection, when he escaped the fate of tke other officers in the place, through the kindness of his gomashter, who con cealed him in his house. After five days' concealment he was, however, discovered, and seized by the insurgents, who saved his life for the following purpose :—The English letters which they became possessed of were taken to Captain Skin ner to be translated, and to test the accuracy of his transla tion they hit upon the plan of employing another prisoner, a person who had been taught English in the American mis sionary school at Loodeeanah, and whose life was preserved for the purpose of translating likewise, and then compare the two versions. It can assist the insurgents but little to know what is written, inasmuch as an answer to those letters which have escaped them, in the shape of some thousand bayonets, is on its way, and Captain Skinner, therefore, we presume, translates what is given to him. If so, his safety hangs on a very slender thread—the knowledge English which a scholar of the Loodeeanah school possesses. Captain Skinner is the son of the late Lieut.-General Skinner, and brother to Major Skinner-, of her majesty's 31st regiment, now serving in India. THAMES TUNNEL—The contract for the erection of the circular staircase for foot passengers, and also the carriage ways, has been taken by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and will be commenced forthwith. The labours of Sir I. Brunel, as regards the tunnel itself, are completed—the key brick of the last inch on the MiddleAlraide :wet iriserted by the King of Prussia, on his Majesty's visit last week, and the workmen have for the last month passed under the Thames from Rotherhithe to Wapping, and vice versa, as well as many visitors, by special orders from the directors and secretary, without the least inconvenience ; but it is shortly intended to close the tunnel for a few weeks, to prevent any interrup tion to the operations of the workmen while forming the circular staircases, and about the second or third week in April the Thames Tunnel will be finally opened to the pub lic, who will be enabled to pass from one side of the river to to the other on payment of a small toll, which has not yet been fixed. Th e s hi e ld h as been removed in compartments, and is now lying on the wharf adjoining the shaft on the Mid dlesex side. About 3,000 passengers cross the ferry daily, between Wapping and Rotherhithe, in the small boats, and the number of persons who will avail themselves of the new line of communication under water when the tunnel is opened will probably be trebled. The arches appear to be remarkably dry, and now both ends of the tunnel are opened, and the workmen are enabled to enter both shafts, the ven tilation has been greatly improved, and the comforts of the visitors, who were formerly inconvenienced by the confined atmosphere of the place, much increased. AWFUL Loss OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.—Letters have just been received by Mr, West, the secretary of the Ship wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, giv ing information upon a most melancholy loss of life at Chifden, in Galway, and of a great destruction of property of a large body of fishermen at Dingle, in Kerry, both occa sioned by the tremendous storm of the 26th ult. The fol lowing extracts have been handed to us by the gentleman to whom the communications were addressed :—" The enclosed account of five persons lost on the 26th ult. reached me this day ; the widows are all poor ; one of them is really desti tute. About twenty-two individuals were lost (all fishermen) on the morning referred to, much the greater part of whom have left families. All the accounts that reach me I shall forward without delay. On Tuesday week we were visited by the most awful storm that was ever remembered in this country, and almost all the fishing-boats were driven from their moorings and damaged, and seven were entirely lost ; in every boat there:were eight men, who have a shale in the fishing, and so many families are consequently left quite des titute by the loss of their boats, as they would not be able to replace them. One poor man was lying ill in measles, and one child just dead, when the roof was blown off his wretched cabin, and his boat lost; t h e y are now without food, fire, or means of procorin g it, and in a roofless house. Another poor man lost two boats before in the last three years, and had (by joining seven others) procured one this winter, when that also was wrecked, and he is now, with his companions and their wives and children, in the most deplorable state. From the remote situation of this place, and there being 6,000 inhabitants in the little town of Dingle (mostly fisher men's families) their poverty and distress is beyond descrip tion."—London Times.

BANDON.—Lord Bernard, conservative, will be returned for this borough unopposed. • LYNN ELECTlON.—Viscount Jocelyn, eldest son of the Earl of Roden, was yesterday (Thursday) elected for this borough without opposition. Marshal Soult is reported in private letters from Paris to be extremely ill of dropsy on the chest. The marshal's hotel was on Sunday;thronged with visiters to learn the state of his health. The marriage of his Highness Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, eldest son of his Excellency Prince Esterhazy, ambassador from Austria at the court of St. James's, and the lovely and accomplished Lady Sarah Frederica Caroline Villiers, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of• Jersey, was solemnized on Tuesday. A few days ago, as some men were ramming in the powder to blow tip a portion of the rock of the tunnel for the Pada and Rouen Railway, at Rolleboise, an explosion took place, and the iron rod which had been used as a rammer entered the breast of one of the workmen, and killed him. Another man had his leg broken, and a third was severely injured. A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.—At the conclusion of a tea party of Sunday-school teachers, at Zion School, Wibsey, the following sentiment was proposed, " The Queen and the Prince'of Wales,—may she prove a pious mother, and he an affectionate son." The speaker paused, and then added, " And may his father send him to a Sunday school." The. tea trade was not much affected by the arrival of the overlaid mail. It gave to a certain extent additional firm ness to prices, but the dealers were afraid to do an extended business, since it appears there is a large supply ready for shipment. It is the firmness with which prices are held at Canton that induces a similar feeling here.—London Times. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Last week a very distress ing affair took place in the village of New Sauchie, near Stirling. Two young men, who had been engaged in a shoot ing match, quarrelled about some trifling affair. One of them, in a tit of passion, seized a gun, and shot his com panion. The unfortunate man was immediately carried home, and, we are sorry'to learn, little hopes are expected of his recovery. The other, of course, was immediately taken into custody, and will, in all likelihood, be committed for trial. Sregoolow_ :mom \;'ztt,tf;Ait MKTHODIAWL—The Wet. leyan Methodists (as stated in out last), have lately lost an able and talented young preacher, in the person of the eldest son of one*,f their oldest and most highly esteemed West Indian missionaries. The young man was educated at one of their public schools, and subsequently became a local preacher in the Macclesfield circuit, by which he was called out by the Conference to enter on their itinerary, and in which he has been occupied nearly four years. He has had many doubts as to the scriptural authority of their administration ; but after careful examination of their con stitutional government with that of the Established Church, he candidly and straightforwardly declared that he would no longer continue in the ranks of dissent ; but, with hearty wishes for the real welfare of the Wesleyans, he would vo luntarily and conscientiously pass over to the one apostolic and Catholic Church of Christ.—Staffordshire Gazette. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LADY.—A painful sensation has been excited in Bath by the death of a young lady, of the name of Rathbone, who had, with her mother, been residing in Henrietta-street for two years past. It appears that hav ing had a rash break out upon her person, she called in Dr. Watson, who prescribed a saline or fever medicine for her, and left the prescription at the shop of a chemist named Watts, with directions for the medicine to be prepared and sent to the residence of the young lady. The chemist's assistant, named Collins, in making up the medicine, by some mistake used the liquor of ammonia instead of the liquor of the acetate of ammonia. The medicine ordered was compa ratively harmless, that given was a powerful caustic, which caused such an irritation as to accelerate, if not produce death. At the inquest held on the body of the unfortunate deceased, Dr. Watson stated, that having been again sent for, and told that Miss Rathbone was in great danger, " I went as soon as I possibly could, and on entering the room I found her mother in great alarm. Mr. Watts was in the room, and on my asking what was the matter, the deceased herself said, ' Oh, Dr. Watson, I am poisoned !' or words to that effect. She was in a state of extraordinary excitement and alarm. I turned round and asked Mr. Watts what had happened? He replied that something had been given by mistake. The deceased was vomiting large quantities of a ropy fluid, streaked with blood. She was in exceeding dis tress from its constantly obstructing the breathing, and com pelling her to be constantly spitting and retching. On ex amining the mouth, I found the tongue, and, as far as I could see into it, the mouth, as well as the external lips, exceedingly red, and appearing as if deprived of their natural covering. She complained of great pain in the throat, and every 'attempt to ',swallow .the smallest quantity of fluid created intense agony." The malady from which Miss Rathbone was suffering was scarlet fever ; and the jury, in conformity with the medical evidence adduced, returned a verdict " that the deceased died from disease, but that her death was accelerated by medicine dispensed by mistake." ,vbipping TUESDAY, FEBRUARY B.—Wind S.E, ARRIVED.—Zante, Masters, from Tobasco—Fernandez, from Lisbon—Will-o'-tbe-Wisp, Murray, from Denia—Emma Graham, --, from London.

A fair Tuesday's demand for Cotton to-day, and from 2000 to 2,500 bales have been sold . at yesterday's prices, with a market rather inclined to be tamer than for the last few days. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY g. The tone and temper of our Cotton market is not of the best quality. nevertheless a fair extent of business has been done to day, amounting to 4000 t►t'the prices obtained early in the week, with a tendency rather to the advantage of buyers. LOT'I'ON MARKET, FEBRVARY 10. The long looked-for and much talked-of " Corn Law Measure" by Sir Robert Peel has at lenkth been disclosed, and judging from the general impression and feeling on Change, dire disappointment seems to be the consequence. Wrong impressions may have been received in haste, but it has had a prejudical effect upon our Cotton market, increasing the gloom which for the last week has pervaded it, and causing holders to take prices they have hitherto refuSed. With this feeling, about 3000 hales have been sold. A slight con cession being readily yielded to the buyer, who has purchased very reluctantly in expectation of a still further decline. THURSDAY.

Whilst the proceedings in the House of Commons are still pending, the Corn trade remains in a state of uncertainty, and amid the conflicting opinions on the precise measures intended by government, all speculative operations in any sort of free produce are apparently suspended ; needy millers, however, in order to serve the pressing wants of the moment, were purchasers of Wheat this morning upon a moderate scale, and 8,000 to 10,000 bushels were also taken for Ire land, at prices nearly uporka par with those of last week. 1,.

In old foreign nothing doing, for the reason above named. Oats are offering plentifully, and may be noted dull sale, but not lower. Beans and Peasa both dull sale, at late prices, and in very limited demand. The best samples of malting Barley are not shewn so freely, and command 6d to Is per qr. more money; second quality and grinding do dot participate in the advance, but are very difficult to quit. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEE. 9. The show of Beasts and Sheep has been much the same as last week, and no variation in price. Best Beef 6d to 6d, middling and inferior 5/d to 6d; best Wether Mutton 6d to 7d, Ewes and small Wethers from 6d to 6d. Beef mostly sold up, but a few Sheep left unsold.

During the past week vie have had a fair supply of Potatoes forwards from Ireland, but the arrivals from the Isle of Man and Scotland have been light. The demand has been exceedingly good, and steady for the four past days, both from our retail town trade, and country dealers for transhipment, which has in a great measure cieared off the old stocks in port—and the vend being now fully equal to the quantity at present coming forward, the market has assumed a more liveiy appeaaance, and prices may be noted fully id to id per 9 lb higher, than the current rates of this day week.

Total quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter. Wheat, qrs. 76 Barley .... 0 Oats Beans ... ... 0 LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Fns. 7 The supply of English Wheat continues unusually small for the season, anti the condition was generally very indifferent this morn ing, in consequence of which a reduction of 2s per qr. has taken, place on any but the very finest dry qualities, of which there was scarcely a dry sample at market. There was less doing in free foreign, but last week's currency was supported, and the state of the market for bonded Wheat remains the same. Barley is a steady sale at the rates of this day se'nnight, and there is no alteration in the value of either Beans or Peas. The Oat trade continues very flat WEDNESDAY, Feb. 9 The business has been very small this morning, almost entirely confined to the retail trade fer immediate use. The exposition of the Corn Law project this e ening occupies universal conjecture, but of its tenor nothing further whatever is certainly known up to the present hour. Speculators, therefore, are unwilling to venture upon business, but some important changes are anticipated on the next market day. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 7 BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEB, 9 During the present week we have had little passing in the Wheat trade, buyers being disposed to wait the result of the ministerial announcement on the Corn Laws before getting into stock : the sales made have, however, been at last week's prices. Malting Barley in m re request, but no advance can be realised. Oats and Beans dull, without further decline. HULL CORN MARKET, FEB. 8 ADMITTED In-patients cured .. . .
