CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburgh
mails—also one from Vera Cruz by the Camden—sailed Nor.

Cruz are old, as the Sheldrake, which arrived yesterday, left
Vera Cruz on the 24th of December. We have likewise ship
letters from Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar.

North and South American Coffee-houses. Their contents
are unimportant.

House this morning.
COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.--A Court was
yesterday held for the dispatch of business, which was, how-
ever, entirely of a local character, and of no interest to the
public at large.
THII JOY OF CHILDHOOD is a very beautiful en-
graving after Lawrence, which has been much admired in the
new " Book of Gems."—" The merits of this work perfectly
justify the title which has been bestowed upon it—high sound-
ing and pretending as that title may strike the reader. It is
really a Book of Gems;' the illustrations arc taken from the
productions of such artists as Reynolds, Lawrence, Wilkie,
Westmacott, &c. It will be apparent at a glance that there is
as much of originality as of good taste in the planning of the
book, every portion of which is exceedingly well executing."—
Times.
COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—The Commission to
enquire into the state of mind of Lady Kirkwall again met yes-
terday at the Freemasons'-tavern. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, whose evidence was to the same purport as that adduced
on the previous day, a full report of which appeared in our co-
lumns yesterday. The inquiry was again adjourned until this day.
THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ROBBERY.--The four prt-
soncrs, Jourdan, Sullivan, Seale, and Mott, were yesterday
fully committed to Ncwgate to take their trial at the next
Session of the Criminal Court. We must postpone the parti-
culars of their examination till to-morrow.

The paupers in Eastbourne Union Workhouse,
many of whom are not reconciled to the new diet table, as now
directed (and put in force) by the Poor Law Commissioners,
have within the last few days, to the number of seventeen,
taken their departure, some by giving the allotted three hours'
notice to that effect, and others, sans ceremonie, by scaling the
walls. Everything, however, at present remains perfectly
tranquil.

'rho coachman of the Royal Telegraph London and
Manchester coach was thrown from his seat on the road near
Macclesfield, on the night of Friday se'nnight, in consequence
of the wheel of the coach striking a large stone, which had
been carelessly left on the road by the men employed to repair
the pavement. fle was so severely injured by the fall that he
died on the following Monday. The horses ran the coach
against the toll-bar at the Flash and broke the traces, by which
they were set at liberty. Providentially three inside passen-
gers escaped without injury—the guard and an outside pas-
senger, the only one, got down behind as the coach was pro-
ceeding at a furious rate.

So-great was the force of the wind on Saturday
week, that a boat near Bowling was actually lifted by it out of
the water, and thrown into a planting near the side of the
Canal.— Glasgow Argus.
TRIAL OF MARlN.—Monday next is fixed upon
for the Petty Jury of St. Saviour's (Jersey) to decide on the
fate of 'the prisoner.
The Incorporated Trades at Banff intend to throw
the incorporations open. The Hammermen have virtually done
so for a twelvemonth past • and the Shoemaker's Corporation,
at their last meeting, on Wednesday, formally declared their's
open, by the unanimous consent of those present. We trust
the other incorporations will soon follow the same liberal ex-
ample.—Ayr Observer.
The Dissenters Committee, appointed in Halifax
two years ago, have resumed their sittings, preparatory to the
introduction, by Government, of the proposed Ministerial
measures for the relief of Dissenters.
Mr. Kean has experienced the most flattering recep-
tion at the Bath theatre ; he has been performing his principal
characters during the last ten days to crowdeehouses. The
Bath critics speak in the highest terms of his exertions. He
next proceeds to Edinburgh and Glasgow, to fulfil engage-
meats entered into last autumn.
ADULT BAPTlSM.—Considerable interest was ex-
cited at Ludden Foot, in this parish, on Sunday last, by the
baptism of three married women, who, notwithstanding the
severity of the weather, were baptised, by immersion, in the
river Calder. There was a large attendance of spectators.—
HaVax Express.

butions on various tradesmen at Cambridge, under fraudulent
representations.
INCENDIARISM. A fire broke out on Saturday
week, on the premises of Mr. J. Scupham. of Fulstow, which
consumed a stack containing 40 quarters of corn ; no doubt
the act of an incendiary.
