THE MADRID MAIL TAKEN BY THE CAR.

LISTS.

The Memorial Bordelais74 the 6th instant, quotes
the following letter, accounting for the non-arrival of
the Madrid mail of the Ist:

We hasten to publish, in the interest of the mer-
chants of our city, who maintain such impor-
tant relations with Spain, the following letter,
communicated to us last night by the Prefect of the
Gironde :—The conductor of the mail, just ar-
rived from Bayonne, informs us that the Madrid
mail did not reach Bayonne yesterday, 4th February.
That mail was attacked and plundered oy a Carlist band,
beyond Vittoria, where the remnants of the carriage
were found dispersed on the road. We have received no
certain information respecting the fate of the dispatches.
Notice of this occurrence was brought to Bayonne by an
express, sent by the director of the Vittoria post-office,
the bearer of the correspondence from that town only."
Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.
It was said MORON would supersede Bravo
Murillo as Minister for Public Works.

The Journal de l'Aisme contains the following

" We know positively that the Government proposes
to convoke a new Assembly of 900 Members, in order to
proceed legally to the revision of the Constitution. This
revision is to bear principally on the two following
points :—The institution of two Chambers, and power
to re-elect the President of the Republic. It appears
that, in this case, the Government will set aside the
clause of the Constitution which declares that the Con-
stitution cannot be revised until three years after its
promulgation."

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

ST. PETEESBURGII, JAN. 28.—A ukase of the 9th
commands the construction of a new road to the
Prussian frontiers, by which means smuggling
through a large, woody, and unfrequented country
will be put a stop to. The present boundary
line lies along the very. verge of the frontier,
but the new road is to run at some
distance from it, not, however, more than
four averts inland, and no village is to be built
between the road and the line of demarcation. The
cordon buildings and peasants' huts are to be built
along the side of this road, and are to be assigned to
the soldiers who form a sort of reserve for reinforcing
the frontiers. Minor regulations commanded by the
EmrEaort will be carried out by a commission.

Our journals contain an official notification, " that
in order again to make up the capital of silver coin
in the Excequer, which had been rather diminished
in 1848, the sum of 3,000,000 silver rubles was on the
25th of January received from the reserve store in
the vaults of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul.
That reserve fund, after deducting the above
3,000,000 rubles, amounts to 106,588,595 silver
rubles." _

WARSAW, JAN. 31.—The EMPEROR has issued
command to all charitable and benevolent institutions
in the empire, positively prohibiting them to augment
their funds by means of masquerades and public
amusements.

to leave the country. He gave his cordial approval to
the appointment of the Committee, believing that the

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise, has not exceeded 1,020 quarters; by
land carriage it has been small in the extreme. To-day
the show of samples was small. Selected qualities ruled
firm, at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday.
The middling and inferior kinds moved otf slowly, at late
rates. Upwards of 15,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat
have come to hand since Saturday. That article was a
very slow inquiry, but we have no further decline to
notice in value. Malting Barley was held at extreme
rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were a dull sale, at
barely stationary prices. Su Hale was doing in
Malt that the quotations were almost nominal.
Although the supply ot Oats wa. small, that grain
ruled hcavy. at Monday's prie-s. Bean 4. Fess, Indian
Corn, and Meal, were quite neglected. No change took
place in the value' of the test town made Flour. Ship
qualities were easier to purchase.

SMITHFIELD MARKBT.—Yesterday a discussion,
which lasted nearly six hours, took place in the Court of
Common Council, upon the following proposition, made
by Mr. John Thomas Norris, "That a market for the
sale of live cattle in the midst of the City is incompatible
with the convenience of persons resorting thither for the
purposes of business; that the present market of Smith-
field is insufficient in space, as well as objectionable in
situation; that the safety and health of the inhabitants
demand its immediate removal, and that therefore a
special ward committee he appointed to consider that
steps shall be taken to remedy the existing evils by pro-
viding a suitable market place." As the discussion was
adjourned, and a number of members declared their in-
tention of speaking again upon the subject, we postpen9
our report until the proceedings shall have terminated.
The previous question was moved by Mr. Deputy Hicks.
ST. MARY-LE-STRAND.—A meeting of the inha-
bitants of this parish was held in the vestry•room, yes-
terday evening, for the purpose of presenting the rector,
the Rev. J. F. Denham, M.A., with a tribute of their
esteem for his valuable pastoral services. The gift was
contained in an elegantly worked purse, and Mr. Ten-
nant, the churchwarden, having prefaced the proceedings
by a speech appropriate to the occasion, concluded by
presenting the purse, containing 1251. 145., to the rector.
Mr. l)enham's reply was feelingly eloquent and graceful,
and must have produced a deep and lasting impression
upon the minds of all who heard it. The kind and
spontaneous manner in which the
was
in responded call
is a sufficient proof of the high estimation which tto
reverend gentleman is held by the members of his con,-
gregation; and when it is considered that St. Marys
is so small a parish, the wonder is that so handsome a
testimonial should have been subscribed in a few days
a fact which is alike gratifying to those who give and
those who receive.
MACKEREL FISHING.—NO less than 125 tons of
fish, chiefly mackerel, were dispatched by the South
Devon Railway to London, on Saturday evening last.

FRANKFORT.

At Frankfort, on the 24th inst., on the invitation
of M. DE GAGUEN, the Plenipotentiaries of the Ger-
man States met in the Palace of the Diet to ren-
der to the Ministry of the Empire the declaration of
their respective Governments respecting the constitu-
tion, and to request that this should be laid before
the National Assembly.

The declarations of the 26 states, and among them
Prussia, are identical, or rather they have made a
collective declaration, and they represent 22 millions
of Germans. Austria alone has held back ; she
wishes the second reading of the constitution to be
postponed for some weeks; but it is not likely the
Assembly will acquiesce in this desire; and most
probably the second reading will take place within a
short period, as the majority are reported to be desi-
rous that at the latest the 16th March shall be fixed
for that purpose.

ANOVELTY.—There has lately been registered
an article that eaanot fail to find a place in every Geatle-
man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged
want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some-
what in the form of a dress-coat—that is to say, it can be
worn withodt any distinct infringement of the laws of cos-
tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ;
but yet the garment is more especially intended fer morning
wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each
will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its
fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their
patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, Fs that a
selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or
the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance
arising from the cutter net immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.

Although compared of the NICOLLIAN CLOTII, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
NORNENG COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and wiich can be had in London only of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,
11G, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

frO THE COUNTRY TRADE, &c.—Such re-
spectable Housed as may be disposed to add to their present
trade the vary important addition of a first-rate connexion, consisting
of purchasers of first-class Goods, prineipaPy PALETOTS, &c., can
effect their object by applying for terms, &a. to the under-men-
tioned, who will duly forward samo, with fullest particulars,
in the event of there being an opening for an agency in the
town from whence they write.—H. J. and D. NICOLL, WHOLE-

GREECE.

Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a question from
Mr. B. Cochrane, declined laying on the table of the
House the orders given by Sir Stratford Canning when
on his way to Athens.
Mr. B. COCHRANE, then stated that it was his in-
tention on a future day to move for the papers.
ATROCITIES OF THE NEAPOLITAN ARMY.
Mr. BANKES, understanding that there was
no objection on the part of the Noble Lord
the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department to
the motion of which he had given notice, moved an
address for copies of the informations received by Go-
vernment, on which the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs had grounded statements made in that House re-
lative to atrocities alleged to have been committed by the
Neapolitan army i❑ Sicily.—Agreed to.
ENGLAND SUPPLYING ARMS TO THE
SICILIANS.

Mr. BANKES wished to put a question to the Noble
Lord relative to a subject of some importance. Rumours
were prevalent that some of the arms used by the insur-
gents in Sicily had come from her Majesty's Government.
He wished to know if such was the fact ?
Lord PALIVIEKSTON said that no stores had been
given from the Government. The fact was, a contrac-
tor who was in the habit of supplying guns to the
ordnance applied for leave to take back some of the
arms he had supplied, in order to complete an order from
Sicily ; and on the matter being referred to the
Foreign-office, he (Lord Palmerston) thought there could
be no objection to allowing the party to take back some of
the arms upon the understandinghe was to furnish others
for them.

WAR IN THE PUNJAUB.
Mr. OSBORNE wished to ask the Right Honourable
Gentleman the President of the Board of Control, whe-
ther he had received from Major-General Sir J. Thack-
well a dispatch written by Lord Gough, when he was
dispatched across the Chenaub in December last, and
whether he would have any objection to its production?
Sir J. IHOBHOUSE said he had not seen the dis-
patch, but would look at it, and inform the Honourable
Member whether he had any objection to its production
or not.

he (Mr. George Thompson) did hope Viat, whatever
might be the decision as regarded ihe political part of
the inquiry, there would be such a disposal of the private
Property as would free the question from the stain which
Would otherwise be left upon it.
Sir JAMES HOGG said there never had been the
arghtest indiscosition to institute an inquiry into the
adult: of the 'family of the deceased. Raja. There was
just as strong a disposition, both cn the part of the
kcal Government, and on that of the Court of Directors
and of his Hon. Friend Sir John Hobhouse, to make a
liberal provision for the family of the Reje, and to do
What was right and proper, as there could be on the part
of the Hon. Member who last addressed the House.
When, however, the House had not had any dispatch
frost the local Government stating what had been done,
What was the use of discussing this question? The
Honourable Gentleman might rest assured that there
Was every disposition to do what was right and just with
respect to the claims of the family both on the part of
the Government and al ;o of the Court of Directors.
Mr. HUME thought that the Hon. Baronet seemed
altogether to have forgotten that the order of the Court
of Directors was dated in Jule, 1846, and, up to the
of January last, nothing whatever was done. The
family, therefore, remained in a state of starvation. It
was always said that that the Government and the Court
of Directors intended to make provision for the family
of the Raja, but 6. intention" did not teed the hunKry ;
it Was immediate relief that he (Mr. Hume i,esnred
for them. Until the receipt of the letter of tie: fith of
January not one shilling had 1« given to the family,
either out of the private pro ye ) the other.
Sir JAMES HOGG coo 3 taut feel that these
accusations were brought aga the Government on
the authority of private letters iu the absence of public
information.
Tho return of the Hon. Member for Montrose was
then agreed to by the House, without a division, and
the matter dropped.
