The Consultative Junta has ceased its functions. M. Costancs,
the President, has communicated to each of the members his Ma-
jesty's determination on this subject. It is the Council of State
which is to purpose anti determine on the different affairs which
will be afterwards distributed according to the internal regulation
of the Council, and which will soon be completed. The Council
of State 1,1111 consequently receive an augmentation, so that it may
fortis a number of st.ctiats sufficient for all the classes of political
business. Thus it may be supposed that there will b as many
sections, at least, as ministerial departments. It seems that the
form of the ancient Council of State in France has been tuloptetl.
The Dike de Muntenar, ('resident of the Council of the Indies,
died the day before yesterday at a very advanced age. lie had
been member of the Regency of which the Duke del Inf,intado
was President. It has caused some surprise that neither M. de
3lontenar nor Don Antonio Caldron, who was also n tnember of
the tame Regency, have been called to the Council of State. M'e
soon hope to set among the incracrs of the Council of State who
are yet to be appointed, sotue of those good Royalists whose ser-
vices rind opinions are so dent to all Spaniards. It is besides au
int:enmity which is due so then for the persecutions they have
lately endured.

LONDON. TIIIJ 19,

The Paris Papers have at last furnished us with official
intelligence from Warsaw, which must put an end to all
doubts reganling the succession to the throne of ALE S.
A NDF Mato LA s has been tlr.rt proclaimed Emperor
of Russia and King of Poland. CONSTANTINE himself
read the Imperial Ukase of his brother to the Court,
which It convoked for the purpose of hearing it, in the
presence of his wife and the Gmcrals of the army under
his command. The day after the oath of allegiance to the
Emperor NICHOLAS was to be administered to the troops.
So far, therefore, as suspicion could attach to the intentions
of CONSTANTINE it must now be removed, unless we sup-
pose him to be dissembling without any rational motive or
object. Whether the favour with which CoNsr,INTINE
is personally regarded by the soldiery may induce the
armies at Moscow and in the South to declare for him, as
his regiment did at St. Petcrsburgh, is a matter of conjec-
ture, on which we should be only wasting our
pains to speculate. Even should such a move-
ment tskc place, which is, under all circumstances,
we think, highly improbabh,, it could hardly now be
successful. No Prince, whatever may be his reasons,
can more clearly or positively have abdicated his right of
sovereignty. When the facts are made fully known, there
will surely be no attempt, in these days, to force a sceptre
into his reluctant band.

The Creeks have certainly gained some advantages over
their enemies in the vicinity of Salona. The Seraskier
R►:nsctttu has, in revenge for his reverses, beheaded two
of the principal Albanian chieftains.

Accounts from Amsterdam of the 9th of January stated
that the preceding day, at live in the afternoon, twenty wagons
le.l that city with soldiers and baggage, on their way from
Ilarderwyk to the fielder, where they we►e to embark for the
I:3St Indies. An embarkation of these troops seems to confirm
what the Engh.h paws have lately published respecting the incur.
reetions which had broken out in several parts of the island of Java,
of the critical situation of the Don h authorities, and of the urgent
need they had of receiving within a few months reinforcements
from Europe, to be aisle to maintain possession of that important
colony.

KEAN IN AMERICA.

Kean is now at Albany, where. according to the papers,
he was received with greater tokens of idolatry than at-
tended his last performance in New York. After the close
of the play at his last benefit in that city he was called
for by the audience ; he obeyed the call, and adircased the
poopfe, in substance, as follows—from Noah's Advocate:—
" Mr. Kean stated, that in doing himself die honour of appearing
before the audience, he might obsarre that it would be an insult
to their understanding to suppose that words could be a return for
the unbounded favours he had received. lie had left 7,nglind
after the most virulent and unrelenting persecution that any man
had ever suffered ; and, added to this, he kad experienced domes.
tit calamities which it would not be here proper to explain. The
dreadful agony of his feelings had nearly overcome him ; he was
in the lowest stile of dejection, and feared eves his intellectual
faculties would hare abandoned him. In this horrible condition,
injured in reputation and bankrupt In fortune, he landed on onr
hospitable shores—and his only hope was. that the same Providenca
that had blasted his expectations might also prostate his mortal
frame in dust. Ile was alike insensible to censure or applguse ;
nor was it the clamour and disturbance that attended his appca-.
ance on the first night, that in the least aroused him from the
stupor. He might truly say that he was wrecked, serseless, on
our coast, and by generous treatment had been restored to lif !
it'hat, therefore, did he not owe to the New York audience? h
that audience could not realise the extent of his obligation ; for the
winds of heaven would waft to congenial friends in the par:nt
country, the consoling reception he had met with. Under cireum.
stances of such vital unponance to him, he found it impossitU to
offer commensurate gratitude ; and lie would therefore only did ire,
with the deepest sincerity, that wherever destiny might direct him,
or whatever might be the ultimatum of his career, the last pulsa-
tion of his heart would beat warmly for New York.
" Mr. Kean concluded (amidst the loudest applause) with in.
forming the audience that he should now proceed to Boston. and
on his return, he anticipated the honour of again appearing before
them."

So So Kean is determined to come to Boscon. The eyes of
our southern cities are turned hitherward with anxiety to
know what will be his reception, and if a Bostonian would
pass a day in New York without being interrogated five
hundred times on the subject, he must keep himself shut
up in his chamber. Our belief is now, as it has ever been,
that a gentlemanly apology—if such a vulgar fellow can
make one--for his running away, will be sufficient to stop
all riotous proceedings in our theatre, if any should be
commenced. Those who like his acting would then be in
quiet possession of the house, for most of those who
dislike it would stay away.—Boston Cuurier.

DARING ROBBERIES.

Information was yesterday received at Ilatton-garden Police.
office of a peculiarly audacious robbery having been committed
at the house of Edward Leigh Pemberton, Esq. No. :la. 3lecklet-
burgh-square. The butler, who had been cleaning the plate et
the kitchen window, after breakfast, was called up stairs on some
other business, when the thief taking advantage or hie absence,
resolutely mounted the iron railings, darted dowa the area Steps.
and raising up the window, although there was a link girl in
the kitchen. had the hardihood to take out two riozen of
silver fork , wi h which he again crossed the railings. wl.en he
was observed by 31r. Pemberton's groom, a man of colour, who
had been out !or wat •r; the latter, being encumbered with the y..ke
on his shoulders, could not immediately pursue the fellow, frho
tat off with great spend, the black following with a cry of "stop
thief," and, notwithstanding that several persons joined in the
chase, the fellow got away. The plate was marked with the
letters E. L P. in cipher, and a griffin cr. s..
Another robbery was committed at an einly hour on Friday even.

ANOTHER DEATH BY SCATING.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Three Jolly Anglers, near
Lea Bridge. on the body of hlr. James Dickinson, the eon of
Captain Dickinson, of Ilamerton, who perished by aecitlentalle
falling into a hole, while seating on the river Lea. The principal
evidence was that of Mr. John Moore, which was to the following
effect :—I did not personally know the deceased. Ou Sunday
afternoon, together with my three brothers, I was standing on the
bank of the river Lea when the deceased fell in. I saw him
previously seating with great velocity. There was a hole in the
ire before him, into which he seated, as if he did not see it. (some
of the Jury here remarked that the deceased wan extremely near.
sighted.) The ice did not break under him. hly brother tilled
out and said, "My God ! there is a young man gone down." lie
immediatciy ran to his assistance; and fell in also. I followed, an,:
with my brother James met with a similar fate in endeavouring to
render assistance. He was in the water, I think. about seven
minutes, when lie was brought here. He rose and sunk several
times. I am entirely of opinion that no one Is to blame. The
deceased's brother also fell in. A medical gentleman, who wee
accidentally passing Lea Bridge, gave his attendance, and omit
bumun means was used for the recovery of the deceased.
On the close of this witness's testimony, being asked by the
Coroner whether he had anything further to add to it, he replied.
that though perhaps it did rot properly come under the head e:
evidence, yet that there was a circumstance lie thought it his duty
to mention, and`which he wished to be explained. Ile then turnel
idiom to a Mr. Bailey, a medical gentleman, who formed one of
the jury, and addressing him said that there was a report very pre•
valeta through the villages of Clanton and Ilomerton, that when
he Mr. B. was applied to on the cienirg of this sad catastrophe to
give his professional assistance to the deeeased, he peremptorily
declined doing so. adding that he had a cold himself. amid that it
ICU of more consequence to him to attend to it than the complaints
of any ose else:
Me. Bailey, in exoneration of the charge, af,er admitting the!
he hail been called on, said that in addition to a severe cold he was
also labouring under a threatened attack of apoplexy, which pre-
vented his giving his attendance ; scarce, however, had be feflasee
when he repented doing so, and was preparing at
.the. risk of le ‘.
life to proceed at once to the Three Anglers, and gm every resist-
ance in his power for the recovers, of the deceased. thi Lis %tee
thither lie 1/.1.11 met by a person who inforniel hint that he was 11 ,
under the care of two professional men; and, in conSequeee,
thinking that his further aid was unnecessary, he returned hems'.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally Drowned."
• This is the Mr. Bailey who has so frequently been hotoure
with the medals of the Society, for his successful exertions in the
recovery of persons apparently drowned.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BVROL•RY PREVENTlPl).—Yesterday a very auspicious-look-
ing fellow, named James Wilson. was brought from Si. James's
watchhouse, charged on suspicion of haring attempted to commit a
burglary at the house of Mr. Charroneau, pawnbroker, John-street,
Goldemsquare.
A watchman deposed that, as he was going his rounds at two
o'clock yesterday morning, he observed two men standing with
their faces towards the shop of Mr. Charraneau, but upon his cry.
ing the hour the thieves went away, and he, without taking an
notice of them, went up to the shop, turdexamined the bar, which
he discovered bad been sawed in two. Ile then placed himself in
such a position as to have a full view c( the spot, but the burglars
did not again make their appearance. Having left his hiding-
place, in turning the corner he met the prisoner, whom he instantly
recognised as one of the persons engapti at the shop on his first
approach. He challenged him, and, after a scuffle, succeeded in
taking hint into custody. On searching him at the watchhouae, a
crow-bar was found on him, and round each of his hands was
wrapped a silk handkerchief.
The prisoner. in his defence, said that he had on Sunday night
met with an acquaintance. a butcher, and be had been spending the
evening with him at a public-house in Oxford-street, which he left
at twelve o'clock. lie then walked with Ilia friend some distance
westward, after which he returned, and was proceeding to his home
in Gravel-lane, Borough, when he was taken into custody.
Watchman—When I took hint he was going in quite an oppo-
site direction from the Borough.
Mr. fox—flow came the crowbar to be found in your pocket.
and 'what were the motives for having a handkerchief wrapped
round each of your hands.
Prisoner-1 picked up the crow-bar in Oxford-street, as I was
coming along ; and a few days since I burnt one of try bands,
round which I had tied a handkerchief, and as it was . very eold
night, and 1 had no gloves. I tied another one round my other hand.
The Magistrate was informed by Plank, the officer,' that it was
an invariable rule with burglars, whenever they had to file bars, to
wrap a handkerchief round their hands, to prevent the pressure of
the file front being seen on their hands if taken.
The Magistrate observed that he had no doubt that the prisoner
had intended to commit a burglary, and he should therefore re-
mand him until Thursday next, as most probably something
would transpire before that time.

POLICE.

GUILDHALL. •
Fr NGI7LAR A r ',treat low.—An elderly gentleman, dressed In
a.genwel suit of black, whose name did not transpire, applied to
Mr. A Herman Cox, ynterchty, with great gravity and earnestness,
for a warrant, to enubla him to recover possession of a favourite
tom-mt. In vain did Mr. Bereiford, the clerk, explain that at to
animals which do not serve for food and arts kept for whim or plea-
s:l:e, stealing their: did not amount to larceny at common law :
nor was there any express statute for the protection of the tabblea ;
the old gentleman continued to bean pressing that the Alderman at
length yielded to his importunities so far as to promise him a sum-
mons against the parry :le complained of.
" Nothing but u warrant," replied the ohl gentleman, " can
answer the purpose. A mere notice to attend hereon a future day
would quite detaat,my object."
•• A warrant about a cat !" exclaimed the Alderman, " why, if
I were m grant it to you I should be caricatured all over the town.
I cannot assist tad. You may seek what remedy you please."
The applicant replied, that that was nonsense. A cat was an
animal as worthy of legislative protection as a dog. to steal which,
is was notorious, had been made a punishable offence, besides hit
cat wore a collar. which surely might be deemed a subject of felony.
"Irell," said thw Alderman, 6• whatever may be your notions
upon that subject, I shall not grant what you require '
Mr. Bent:swoitu hinted to the applicant, that if he had so high
a regard tor the feline tribe, he had better petition Parliament to
place them on a footing with dogs.
The old gentleman retired, giving vent to his chagrin in very un-
measured termite.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

so greatly aggravates the expense of obtaining justice in
the Chancery Court, as well as those prejudices which have
taken such strong hold on public opinion.

We hail the publication of this Report as the fore-
runner of much useful reform in that department of ad-
ministrative justice to which it refers. We shall not in
this place enter into any discussion of its contents, as it will
not fail to find its way into the hands of all whose pur-
suits, whether as lawyers or politicians, gives them an in-
terest in the valuable body of testimony which it places
before the public.

TUERDAT EVENING.

There was considerable depression on the Stock Ex-
changes this morning, and scarcely any business was doing
there. Consols were 77/ all the morning, alternately buyers
and sellers, and on closing they were buyers at that price.
The Bears sent forth a rumour, that the decline in the
Russian exchange was from political rather than commer-
cial causes, hut it had no effect on the funds. Indeed
speculators are looking forward to the Easter holidays; and
do not seem much inclined. to commence new bargains.
Exchequer Bills were 45., 6s. pm., and India Bonds Ss.,
4s. pm.
'f here was considerable despOudency again amone com-
mercial men on account of snore failures. 'Chat of Messrs.
' Green and Hartley. the eminent Routh American house,
together with one of the principal underwriters in Lloyd's
Coffee-house, as well as an extensive wine house, produced
a great sensation. There wire alab other failures spoken
of--a house in the silk trade, awil another contracted with
the woollen manufacture, but they were unimportant.
In Foreign Stocks there was little new. Brazil Bonds
were 664; no quotation of Portuguese or Buenos Ayres
Stocks. Chilian were .51, sellers. New .Colotnbiau 494.
Mexican 654. No alteration in Russian or (Ireck Bonds.
Spanish were 10 to 11.

" Mr. Moubray's little book on the breeding, rearing, and fatten.
ing all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestionably the
most practical work on the subject in our language. The author's
aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his
information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a
small poultry yard. two or three rigs, with a breeding sow, and a
cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese, in an English country
house, appears indispensable; and to point out how these may be
obtained, at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moo-
bray's object. By adopting the plan of his work, any family may
furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they
Are obliged to pay at the markets : and the farmer and breeder may
render it the source of considerable profit."—Farmer's Journ:ll.

the steam-vessels remained at Cagliari on the Vith ult.:—

"GENOA, SEPT. 2.

The Gazette Unierrselle of Napoli di Romania replica,
to the charges of those who assert that the money of the
two loans had become the prey of private cupidity in
Greece, by giving an account of the receipts and expendi-
ture (the same as we before published). The- Editor of
the Greek Journal adds, that as it is clear that the Govern-
ment has only received in ready money 216,114/. sterling;
and as it has been obliged for two years to maintain a war
by sea and land, at the expense of two disastrous cam-
paigns, with this trifling sum, it cannot be supposed that
there have been many dilapidations.
