where they would soon enjoy a more gratifying
amusement than listening to speechmakers, many a
stately coranto or dignified pavane, or the more pic-
turesque dances which prevailed under the dynasties
of the Tudors and the Stuarts, were wont to be seen;
or, in later times, many a hoop had there sailed stiffly
—more stiffly, perhaps, than gracefully—( g
-down the merry dance. Again let them make the old
walls re-echo with the sounds of boundless merriment.
And he hoped they would enter into the festivities
with as joyous a spirit as in olden days they were
wont to bring to their revels. Let them be at once
merry and wise—let them have the wisdom to look
back to the past with gratitude that they. were still
sitting under the shelter of those great Christian insti-
tutions which just a thousand years ago King Alfred
was born to inaugurate; let them look to the future
with hope that their descendants might be permitted
to enjoy the same institutions, and then the evening's
enjoyments would not have been altogether thrown
away.—(Cheers). The Noble Lord concluded by
again welcoming the company to the halls of Haddon,
and trusting that nothing would occur to diminish
their pure and entire field of enjoyment.—(Cheers.)
The assembly was afterwards addressed by the
Bii,hop of Madras, Mr. Cavendish, M.P., Mr. Evans,
M.P,,, and other gentlemen, and at ten o'clock ad-
journed to the ball room. A grand display of fire-
-1 works was exhibited about midnight, and the festivities
continued until a late hour.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—(FRIDAY.)
The present week's arrival of English Wheat coast-
wise having been small, via., 2,050 quarters, the show
of samples of that grain here, to-day, was very limited.
Still, however, as the attendance of buyers was less than
for some time past, the demand for all descriptions was
in a very sluggish state, at Monday's prices, at which
the market closed heavily. Only 3,670 quarters of
Foreign Wheat have come to hand. Exceedingly little
business was transacted in any quality ; but we have
not the slightest change to notice in the quotations. In
floating cargoes nothing doing. The supply of Barley
was small. Grinding sorts moved off readily, at very
lull currencies. Malting and Distilling qualities ruled
dull. The show of Malt samples was bat moderate. All
kinds were dull, as the large consumers are not general
buyers. Oats were somewhat scarce. The best parcels
were quite as dear. Damp qualities meet a slow inquiry.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour as on Monday.

Compared with that exhibited on this day se'nnight,
the supply of Beasts on offer in this morning's market
was somewhat extensive as to numbers, but very defi-
cient in quality; indeed scarcely a prime Bullock was on
sale. In the value of the primest Scots which must be
c moldered almost nominal, wo have no Change to report.
All ether kirds of Beasts were wry dull, and 2d per albs

effected. The best Down Sheep, which were very
scarce, produced full currencies with difficulty; other-
wise the Mutton trade ruled heavy, at a fall in the quo-
tations of 2d per 81bs. The supply was seasonably
good. With Calves we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily, supplied. The Veal trade was inactive,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your paper of Oct. 22d last, a paragraph
appears as a quotation from the Liverpool Standard,
in which my name appears to be mixQd up with the
" Washing preparation" selling throughout the country
by the trade.
Permit me politely to correct the error into which
the writer of the paragraph bas fallen, -and to explain
that if his allusion is to " Twelvetrees Brothers'
Improved Washing Preparation," he has confounded
that article with a prescription of mine, as published
in a treatise several months ago (now out of sprint).
The names being somewhat similar, has no doubt
occasioned the mistake.

If the writer of the article in question had examined
the Soap Boilers' Act, he would have perceived that
the article made according to my receipt is wholly
illegal for sale, for which reason the Excise-officers,
throughout the country, are vigilantly employed in
suppressing the sale of Washing Paste, Washing
Jelly, and all liquids containing fatty matter mixed
with alkaline lees.

As the paragraph in yourjournal has been extensively
copied into other papers, I shall feel obliged if you
will give insertion to this statement, hoping it will
meet with a similar reception.—l am Sir, &c.,
HARPER TWELVETREES.

ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—Since Thursday, the Ist
instant, when twenty-six miles of this railway northward
from Montrose was opened for traffic, the novelty of the
railway conveyance has of course attracted a great num-
ber of visitors from the villages in the vicinity of the
line. It cannot as yet be fairly estimated what increase
of traffic the progress of railway accommodation in this
direction may produce. During the three or four days
that have passed, the number of passengers is at least
four times greater, and the quantity of goods increases
daily. The connexion between Limpet-mill (the farthest
Borth point which the railway coaches reach) and Aber-
deen, is kept up by omnibuses and waggons, which are
in abundance equal to tho demand made for them. The
Limp t-mill station is but a temporary erection, and
will not likely be continued after the railway line is
brought farther north- A stone building is being reared
half way between that and Aberdeen, to which point the
railway will be still farther completed in the course of six
weeks.—Scolsman.

STEALING A MAGISTRATE'S DOG. Lit the
Liverpool police-office on Tuesday last a man named
William 'tied, a "fancier," was placed at the bar on a
strong suspicion of felony, the Charge-sheet setting forth
that the prisoner had stolen a deg, the property of Ed-
ward Rushton. On the case being called the worthy
stipendiary left his seat, remarking that he " could not
sit on that case, having an interest in it;" and it turned
out that the "Edward Rushton" on the sheet was the
veritable magistrate himself. A servant man stated the
case, and Mr. Rathbone (who acted during Mr. Rush-
ton's absence) disposed of it by ordering a month's im-
prisement to be imposed.

THE ARMY.

We have heard that Major- General Bourchier will
succeed the late Sir George Anson as Colonel of the
4th Dragoon Guards. This officer was employed
under Sir Ralph Abercromby in the expedition
against Cadiz, in 1800, and in the campaign in
Egypt in 1801. He served afterwards in the cam-
paign of 1811, 1812, and 1815, and was present at
the siege of Badajoz, battle of Salamanca, Quartre
Bras, and Waterloo, and the capture of Paris.
A report was current yesterday at the Clubs, that
General Sir Peregrine Maitland, K.C.8., is to be
appointed to Chelsea Hospital, and as that officer is
senior to Sir Colin Halkett, should this prove correct,
we must expect to find him gazetted to the situation
of Governor of that establishment direct.

ITALY.

It is said that the Pore will return to Rome in the
course of the present month. He will make no public
entry ; as he stole out of the eternal city so he will
steal into it again ; in fact, it would not be altogether
safe for him to attempt a public entry. The Cardinals
continue their course of lawless tyranny. On the
29th October turned out of office two of the most
moderate men in the Roman States—Dr. FARINI and
M. PERFETTI, a priest, the same who was stabbed the
very day on which the French army entered the city.
Dr. FARINI was twice deprived of office—once by the
Republican Government, and now by the POPE'S
Government.
The President of the Council, on the 4th, an-
nounced officially to the Chamber of Deputies of
Turin the resignation of General BAVA. and the
appointment to his office of General LAMARMORA
also that M. PIERRE PALEOCARPA had been appointed
Minister of Public Works.

By a decree of the 31st ult. the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY authorizes the Minister of Finance and
Commerce to procure thirty millions of lire (twenty-
five millions of francs) to the treasury, under
the security of the produce of the tobacco
monopoly. The operation is to be effected by
the emission of 30,000 notes of 1,000 lire each ; the
said bills bearing interest at five per cent., payable
on the 30th of June and 31st of December of each
year. The sum of 2,100,000 lire, to be taken from
the produce of the tobacco monopoly, is to be applied
every year to the extinction of the debt and the
payment of the interest. A sum of 200,000 lire more
is to be applied to the payment of premiums to the
holders. Every year, after the interest has been paid,
the remainder of the sum of 2,100,000 lire is to be
applied to the reimbursement of a certain number of
notes, to be drawn by lot. The owners of the notes
drawn shall_receive a premium of one tenth of the
capital. The notes are to be sold by auction; the first sale
to be held on the 12th of December next. Up to
the 11th of that month the Minister is authorised to
receive the sealed offers of bankers and capitalists for
any number of notes. By the above described plan
the debt will be extinguished in the course of 26
years.

PRUSSIA.

The relations between Prussia and Neufchatel are
in a train of being amicably arranged ; Neufchatel
will return to the same position as before the re-
volution. England, it is said, has offered her me-
diation.
The First Chamber did not sit on the sth. The
Second Chamber passed the Eastern Railway Bill on
that day.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Frankfort Gazette des Postes, of the 3d, con-
tains an article of an official character, according to
which the Ministry of the Empire has given orders
that the Danish war steamer the Gefion shall be
burnt or blown up sooner than suffer it to fall into
the hands of the Danes. To this intelligence is sub-
joined a statement of facts which leads the Ministry
of the Empire to apprehend that Prussia will not lend
a hand to prevent this conquered vessel from being
delivered up to the Danes, under the pretext of an
independent Schleswig.
The German Reform, in a letter from Kiel, Nov.
3, says--' The crew of the German frigate Barbarossa
arrived here yesterday, and set off to-day for Ecken-
forde, where they will form the crew cf the Gefion,
and bring her up to Bremerhaven, to the rest of the
German vessels."
The President of the Assembly of the Duchies of
Schleswig-Holstein, on opening the session at Kiel,
delivered a speech containing an appeal to arms
against Denmark. The deputies of Schleswig were
present in the Assembly, although the armistice for-
bids them. According to the Independance of Brus-
sels, things are fast approaching to a crisis in the two
duchies.

THE SUN,

The Lord Mayor was then sworn. The late Lord
Mayor was also sworn to render unto her Majesty a
full account of the receipts on account of the
Crown during his mayoralty, and to " behave himself
properly," according to the old form of oath, whilst he
did so. The other formalities having been gone
through, the Recorder invited the Judges to the
banquet in the Guildhall this evening.
The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the
Recorder, and the officers of the City then withdrew ;
and passing through the Courts, the Lord Mayor,
through the Recorder, invited the Judges to the
banquet.
The procession then returned to the City in the
same order as in its coming.

A SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST

OF AFRICA.

The Messager du Midi of the 30th ult., relates the
following account of the shipwreck of the brig La
Lucie, of Agde, on the coast of Africa. The narrator
is one of the three men who were the heroes of this
lamentable story :
" On the 27th of June last the new polacca brig,
the Lucie, of 215 tons burden, and manned by a crew
of eight persons, including the captain, M. V. Lavaille,
left the port of Algiers in ballast, with beautiful
weather, bound for Goree and Gambia, where a cargo
of arachides awaited it, destined for Marseilles. On
the 13th, at ten o'clock F M., the weather was dread-
ful ; the sea threatened to swallow up the vessel, and
a tremendous leak was soon sprung. Several manoeu-
vres to caulk the seams were tried in vain ; the
two boats used in these operations were hurled
against the side of the brig, and several of the crew
narrowly escaped drowning. Exhausted by fatigue
they resolved to await the dawn. When daylight
appeared, however, it only served to show the panic-
stricken mariners the fearful position in which they
were placed ;—the Lucie was wrecked on the coast of
the great desert of Sahara, which was the very anti-
podes of its course. The sea still raged with the utmost
fury. Various manoeuvres were tried, but without any
result. It was necessary to renounce thern,land to resort
to other measures. Each man then made a parcel
of his clothes; a sail served for the preservation of a
small quantity of provisions ; the mainmast was cut
down, and on this frail piece of wood eight men
variously laden reached the shore, not without having
experienced the most cruel sufferings. Having
landed, the mariners raised a tent with the sail, and
reposed from their long fatigues until the morning of
the 15th of July, when they began their march
along the coast towards St. Louis of Senegal, more
than 100 leagues distant from the site of their
shipwreck. They were dejected and depressed in
spirits, and tears tilled their eyes. On the evening
of the third days march their scanty supply of water
failed them, and it was then resolved (horrible to re-
late) that their common urine should be collected in a
glass bottle, and this was for four days their only bever-
age. But the fifth day the bottle received nought but
blood, and salt water supplied the place of urine.
Eight days had already elapsed since these unhappy
wretches had bid adieu to the Lucie. In this arid
country, the soil of which was burning sand, no vestige
of humanity had yet appeared to rekindle hope in
their hearts. The captain, however, still ut-
tered expressions of encouragement and con-
solation. On the morning of the ninth day Cape
Blanco presented itself, and the travellers descried
two Moors, who by signs gave them to
understand that they were near a habitation
where they would be favourably received.
Courage cried our sailors, who directed
their steps towards the spot. They soon reached
a wretched cabin, whence a Moor emerged,
and with loud vociferations, laid hand on the small
quantity of provisions that still remained to them.
The eight sailors allowed themselves to be robbed

ADELPHI THEATRE

We were highly amused last night by a
peep at the Domestic Economy of Mr. and
Mrs. Grumly, who are more commonly known
by the names of Mr. Wright and Mrs.
Frank Matthews. Mr. Grumly, like Adam,
is a gardener, Mrs. Grumly is in advance of Eve in
civilization, and keeps a shop, besides attending to the
domestic economy of the household. Mr. Grumly
severely complains that hii wife does not attend
to nis comforts, reflects on her bacon-cooking and
her tea-brewing, and so taunts her that at
length she seizes the hoe, undertakes to work in the
garden, and leaves Grumly to attend to the domestic
economy of the establishment, and Grumly does

triumphant description, and Wright announced it for
repetition amidst the most uproarious cheering.

ADELPH.I THEATRE

We were highly amused last night by a
peep at the Domestic Economy of Mr. and
Mrs. Grumly, who are more commonly known
by the names of Mr. Wright and Mrs.
Frank Matthews. Mr. Grumly, like Adam,
is a gardener, Mrs. Grumly is in advance of Eve in
civilization, and keeps a shop, besides attending to the
domestic economy of the household. Mr. Grumly
sevarely complains that his wife does not attend
to nis comforts, reflects on her bacon-cooking and
her tea-breA ing, and so taunts her that at
length she seizes the hoe, undertakes to work in the
garden, and leaves Grumly to attend to the domestic
economy of the establishment, and Grumly does
attend to it accordingly, after the following fashion :
—He breaks the tea-cups while he washes them ;
gives six bull eyes instead of four for a penny ;
leaves the meat out of a beefsteak pie ; and takes a
dump in payment for a red herring. After
the fun has been kept up a sufficient time
to make the sides of every one present ache with
laughter, the usual explanations take place and the
farce ends. The success of the farce was of the most
triumphant description, and Wright announced it for
repetition amidst the most uproarious cheering.

necessary to remove her from the Middlesex Hospital
to the Convalescent Hospital, for which purpose they-
required the sum of 45., but had no means of getting
it. The Rev. Gentleman referred to his book con-
taining a list of the deserving poor in the parish, and,
finding that the prisoner's account of Lorman's family
and the recent death of his wife was correct, he gave
the prisoner 2s. 6d. from the relief-fund at his dis-
posal, and promised her more on further inquiry.
Lorman stated that he never saw the prisoners
before. Gately was not related to him, and his chil
dren were all in good health, and had never been in
either of the hospitals.
Reid, the parish beadle of Covent-garden, proved
that he had seen Gately join the other woman,
after leaving the Rev. Mr. Hutton's residence, and
when they were given into custody he saw Gately
throw away a piece of paper, which he picked up,
and found to be a sham certificate of the death of
Lorman's daughter, from cholera, in the Middlesex
Hospital.
Mace, the chef usher, informed the Court that
Gately had been several times convicted of similar
offences, and suggested that one of the officers of the
Mendicity Society should be sent for, but
The prisoner Gately expressed her anxiety to save
his Worship the trouble of sending to the Mendicity
Society, and at once admitted that she was an old
offender, upon which
Mr. HALL committed her for three months' im-
prisonment.
In the absence of sufficient legal evidence to iden-
tify Robson with the transactions of the other priso-
ner, she was acquitted._

It is said that the Pore will return to Rome in the
course of the present month. Ile will make no public
entry ; as he stole out of the eternal city so he will
steal into it again ; in fact, it would not he altogether
safe for him to attempt a public entry. The Cardinals
continue their course of lawless tyranny. On the
2911 October turned out of office two of the most
moderate men in the Roman States—Dr. FARINI and
M. PERFETTI, a priest, the same who was stabbed the
very day on which the French army entered the city.
Dr. :PARINI was twice deprived of office—once by the
Republican Government, and now by the POPE'S
Government.
The President of the Council, on the 4th, an-
nounced officially to the Chamber of Deputies of
Turin the resignation of General BAYA, and the
appointment to his office of General LAMARMORA ;
also that M. PIERRE PALEOCARPA. had been appointed
Minister of Public Works.
By a decree of the 31st ult. the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY authorizes the Minister of Finance and
Commerce to procure thirty millions of lire (twenty-
five millions of francs) to the treasury, under
the security of the produce of the tobacco
monopoly. The operation is to be effected by
the emission of 30,000 notes of 1,000 lire each ; the
said bills bearing interest at five per cent., payable
on the 30th of June and 31st of December of each
year. The sum of 2,100,000 lire, to be taken from
the produce of the tobacco monopoly, is to be applied
every year to the extinction of the debt and the
payment of the interest. A sum of 200,000 lire more
is to be applied to the payment of premiums to the
holders. Every year, after the interest has been paid,
the remainder of the sum of 2,100,000 lire is to be
applied to the reimbursement of a certain number of
notes, to be drawn by lot. The owners of the notes
drawn shall receive a premium of one tenth of the
capital. The notes are to be sold by auction; the first sale
to be held on the 12th of December next. Up to
the 11th of that month the Minister is authorised to
receive the sealed offers of bankers and capitalists for
any number of notes. By the above described plan
the debt will be extinguished in the course of 26
years.

CENTRAL GERMANY.

The following is a copy of the letter which the
Minister of the Empire, General Jochraus, as chief of
the German navy, addressed to Commander Poppe, of
the Gaon frigate :

"Sir,—Whatever may happen, you are responsible
for the vessel under your command. That vessel is
the property of the Empire. Your instructions are
simply the following—either to preserve the frigate
under the German slag, or to destroy her. That
frigate is neither to come into the hands of the Danes
nor into those of any other Power. I trust you
understand rae. The frigate of the Empire is not to be sur-
rendered either to Prussian troops or to Schleswig troops,
or to any other troops which are not under your command.
Rather than suffer this, you must blow the vessel up,
or burn her. Enjoining you to attend to the letter
and the spirit of this order, I send you a copy of a
dispatch of the Schleswig-Holstein Plenipotentiary in this
place, the contents of which will inform you of the even-
tual dangers which beset the Eckerntorde (late Gefion)
frigate. You will, therefore, take all necessary precau-
tions—keep powder. and combustibles in readiness, and
distribute them in such a manner as to warrant the
possibility of putting fire to the ship at 10 and more
places at once, and to provide for an explosion, while
you will have all the means of quenching the tire either
destroyed or removed.

affidavits, and on the ground of surprise. The action
was brought to recover 1,5501. under a policy of in-
surance in the Sun Fire-office, the house of the
plaintiff having been destroyed by fire. A person
named Kapatiek had been employed by the plain-
tiff to make out the claim, which he set
down at 1,500/., but when called upon to give
evidence at the trial he turned upon the plaintiff and
said that the goods destroyed were not worth more
than 9001., and that he had been induced by plaintiff
to make out the fraudulent claim of 1,5001. Having
been thus taken by surprise, they were unable to
call witnesses in order to contradict his statements.
The result of the verdict would be entire destruction
to the plaintiff; he was a young man just entering
upon business, and if he lost the sum of money he
claimed, he would not only lose all, but his cha-
racter also.
The COURT granted a rule.

The Comercio of Cadiz, of the 11th, states that
there was every probability that the difference between
Great Britain and Morocco would be amicably ad-
justed. The report of the murder of the British
Consul at Tangier was unfounded. The English

LONDON, TIIIIRSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1849,

As a glorious compensation for the delay which has
occurred in the arrival of the Overland Mail from
Rindostan, the dispatches received this morning
• contain intelligence of the capture of the city of
Moulton. In consequence of the extraordinary
extent and solidity of the fortifications, as well as
from the desperation which had seized upon the rebel
soldiers of the MOOLEAJ, the triumph of our brave
fellows over the besieged was not accomplished until
after a dogged and sanguinary bombardment. This
bombardment appears to have lasted, indeed, with
scarcely any intermission, during an interval of
seven days, from the 27th of December, when the
siege commenced, until the 2d of January, when the
town was stormed and taken, through breaches, at
the point of the bayonet. How enormous must
have been the havoc among the lives and property
of the insurgents, may be conjectured from the
knowledge that Moultan was invested by 15,000
British troops and 17,000 allies—making in all a
force of 32,000 well-disciplined fighting men—that
the attack continued for a week uninterruptedly, that
the artillery of the assailants consisted of 150 pieces
of ordnance, about half of which were of the largest
calibre, and that during the fifty hoursswit
whichthe pre-
ceded the entrance of the Europeans
ramparts a frightful cannonade battered down the
walls and buildings of the doomed city.
Almost immediately upon the arrival of the Bom-
bay division and the siege-train foiward movements
were made by the army under General Wnrsir. On
the 21st December ;the auxiliaries had reached the
camp- On the 25th, namely, Christmas-day, the
force changed ground. On the 27th the troops ad-
vanced in four columns upon Moultan, driving
Vue enemy before them, through the suburbs or
environs, and taking up a position within five hundred
yards of the fortifications. On the 28th, batteries
having been erected, a tremendous fire was opened
upon the besieged. On the 29th, the artillery had
pushed forward to within eighty yards of the outer
i_nalaaure ; and, on the 30th took place one of those
'Walling catastrophes which, like the burning of the
ItePublican man-of-war L'Orient, in the midnight
',Olen at Aboukir, suspends hostilities by the horror
of ita devastation. A. shell thrown from one of
the mortars alighted cn the principal magazine
of the fort, igniting a store it is said, of
.800,000Ibs. of gunpowder, and throwing up,
a thousand feet into the air, a column of
dust and ashes. In this terrific explosion it is be-
lieved that several members of the family of the
IfooLaAJ were destroyed, and that the DEWAN
bimself was severely wounded. Whether or not such
were the case, the result of the detonation of the
magazine proved to be sufficiently destructive.
Some of the burning fragments- falling upon the
adjacent houses, produced a conflagration in which
were consumed, besides a vast quantity of treasures,

Act. It wes difficult to ascertain what proportion this
number bore to the whole population of the districts,
hut it might reasonably be supposed that this num-
ber of marriages formed a tenth of the whole that
took place in the district, and taking three children for
each marriage, it would be 40,000 children whom the
law basterdised. Besides that evil, the law tended to de-
moralise a large portion of the committee, and frequently
led to the commission of the crime of perjury; while
clergymen complained that they were often obliged to
solemnise marriages in cases where they could not possi-
bly have an opportunity of ascertaining whether the
parties were within the prohibited degrees or not, a con-
sequence, which frequently led to the desecra-
tion of the Holy Communion.—Cries of " Hear, hear.")
This difficulty was therefore painfully felt by many
clergymen, and certainly some means ought to be de-
vised for removing them from such powerful positions.
Either the restrictions ought to be rendered
more rigid, or the law ought to be made
conformable to the general wishes of the people.
Again, Many marriages were now solemnized, under the
recent Act, before the registrar, who had no possible
means of ascertaining the relationship of the
panics, while many parties who were unwilling
to violate the law, resorted to other countries not less
moral than our own, fur the purpose of being married,
but still by the law which he now complained of, de-
clared the children of those marriages to be illegitimate.
The demoralization caused by the Marriage-law, as it
at present existed, rendered some change necessary; and,
in order to effect an alteration in the right direction he
proposed the present Bill to the House. The Right
The lion. Gentleman concluded by asking for leave to
bring in his Bill.
