-
vernment, and one which would impart dignity. to the
Royal Councils. The KING personally dislikes M.
GUIZOT, the oracle of the Doctrinaires, and therefore
there Might be some difficulty about him ; but to a Cabi-
net including THIERS, SOULT, DUCEIATEL, Hu-
. MANN, and possibly MAUGUIN and ODILLON BAR-
ROT among its members, the opposition of GUIZoT,
were he in opposition, would be no longer formidable.
For our own part, we are persuaded that a period has
arrived when the system of foreign policy of which M.
THIERS is the representative, ought to be adopted by
France ; and though we are not unmindful of the apos-
tacy of this Minister upon the question of the liberty
of the Press when he was before in office, there
is not at present a member of either Chambei
whom we would more gladly sec at the head of the
Foreign Department. TIIIERS thoroughly understands
the present position of France with respect to Foreign
Powers, and he rightly comprehends the principles that
should guide her in the formation and strengthening of
friendly alliances. Unlike that " dreamer of dreams,"
LAMARTINE, he knows the amalgamation of the inte-
rests of free and despotic states to be impossible, and
therefore it is that he looks to England instead of
Russia for that sympathy which is the surest guaran-
tee the aggressive designs of the CZAR in the
East and West.
We regret to announce the indisposition of the
QUEEN of the French, brought on by her grief for the
loss of her daughter.
The Duke of \VURTEMBUItG and his infant son
arrived in Paris on Friday. Great preparations are
making for the solemn interment of the Duchess at
Dreux, the family burying-place of the House of
Orleans.

A French Journal corrects the accounts published in
England of the strength of the French navy by the
following statement:-
At the close of the last year the French Let consisted of
231 ships :-viz., 24 of the line; 37 ft igates; 22 corvettes;
8 corvettes av:zos ; 19 brigs : 74 small vessels, such as
schooners, cutters, bombards, &c : 14 corvettes of burden ;
and 29 steam-boats. We have besides, 27 ships of the line
and 26 frigates building, and other smaller vessels armed or
building, 31 ships of- the line and 63 frigates. We have
likewise 3 frigates under repair, the Calypso, Magicienne,
and Atalanti, and 9 steam-boats building.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals consisted of a moderate quantity of
English Wheat, good of Barley, and fair of most other
Grain, with a good return of Flour and of Foreign Wheat.
The trade throughout the week was generally heavy for most
articles. This morning the fresh supply of Wheat from Essex
and Suffolk is small, but fair from Kent; of Barley there
is a good quantity, and of other Corn moderate. The weather
continues very mild, and the buyers show little disposition to do
business. The Wheat trade has been very dull to-day, and prices
all declined Is. a 2s. for English, and ls. per. qr. for foreign. Fine
are hardly so good in value. Beans have met a slack demand at

NEWCASTLE CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 19.
Our farmers brought a very large supply of Wheat to mar-
ket to-day, but we had none from Norfolk or Suffolk ; the de-
mand was limited, and prices must be noted ls. to 2s. per
quarter cheaper. The best Malting Barley maintained its
value. For Rye, a decline of is.
per quarter has been submitted
to. Oats sold rather freely at last week's rates. Beans were
looking lower, and White Pease also ruled Is. per quarter
cheaper. The sale of' Flour has been exceedingly dull this
week, at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per sack.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 19.—The demand for
Cotton has been very good. From the trade and speculators
about 7,000 bales have changed hands, of which 3,000 are on
speculation, without change in prices.
At the first meeting of the Havre shareholders of the Bank,
on the 11th inst., which had only been ten months in activity,
the statement was that the number of bills discounted was
9,202, and the value of them 23,283,1191. Value of the
notes issued at same period was 27,947,0001. The amount
of notes remaining in circulation at the beginning of the year
was 1,588,5001.

Accounts have been received from Calcutta of the 21st of
November. We do not hear as yet what news the letters bring.

Paris is now abundantly supplied with wheat and
flour. The reserve stores now contain 60,000 bags of flour,
the Halle 10,394, and in the entrepot and private stores,
30,000—in all, 140,394 bags. The consumption of Paris
being 2,000 bags per day, the supply of the capital is thereby
insured for 70 days. It is to be observed also that at this
moment the arrivals exceed the daily consumption. Finally,
the prices are moderate—at the last market they were, on an
average. 57f. 50c, ; the rate of the tax was 68f. 9c.

DEPLORABLE IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTI-
TION. --A child, called 'larding, the son of a labouring man,
was so severely burnt last week, that it died the day after the
accident. It appeared on the inquest that the parents, in-
stead of calling in a surgeon, had
recourse to a conjuror, who,
it seems, had wrought some wonderful cures.—Cornwall Gaz.
VALUABLE MINERAL DISCOvERY.—A rich
lode of lead and silver ore has been discovered on the Rodd
estate at Christow.—Cornwall Gazette.
MALIBRAN AND DE BERIOT.—Our readers
will remembor that a great noise was made when De Beriot
left the corpse of his wife (the ever to be lamented Malibran)
at Manchester, to be followed to the grave by strangers. Is
not the following a very similar case ? and yet no notice has
been taken of it. In the Morning Post of the 11th inst. the
death of the Duchess of Wurtemberg, daughter of the King
and Queen of France, was announced, stating that The
Duke of Wurtemberg„ with the young prince, his son, left
Pisa immediately/ after the Duchess died, and came to P
The Duke de Nemours, the Duchess's brother, tentailieci at
Pisa to attend the religious ceremonies which were to be per-
formed in the Cathedral, for the repose of the soul of the
departed Princess."—Musical World.

the 18th inst., bringing dates from Brussels of the 18th inst.
" Yesterday was sent off four estafettes by General Hurel,
Chief of the Etat Major, for the commanders of the different
Corps d'Armee, M. Romberg, Military Intendant, was sent to

Liege are to be shut on the 17th, at midnight.
The Prince of Hesse Homburg, Military Governor of
Luxembourg, is dangerously ill ; he is beloved by the inha-

Dutch prices of the 17th of January :—Two-and-a- Half
per Cents., 54i; Five per Cents., 101 i-.
We have received the Gibraltar Chronicle to the 10th of
January ; as usual, the news from the theatre of war in Spain
has been anticipated by the French Papers.
For a double post day our arrivals this morning are few.
Two French. one Ostend, with a Lisbon mail, have arrived ;
the latter by the Liverpool steamer, sailed from Gibraltar 10th
January, Cadiz 11th Jan., Lisbon 14th Jan., Oporto 15:h
Jan., and Vigo 16th Jan. Three foreign mails are due. The
news from Lisbon is of minor importance.
The information of most importance at present on the tapis
is the affair between Belgium and Holland. According to the
various accounts received from both parties of the military
movements for the commencement of hostilities, it cannot be
long before we shall hear of an event of some importance. It
is difficult as yet to say who will fire the first shot.
The bad weather throws rather a damp on the British and
Foreign markets for speculating to any extent.
