SUN-OFFICE, 20:Minutes past Onc

We have this moment received Paris Papers
of Wednesday, which furnish accounts from
Madrid to the 7th instant, of the same date as
those we communicated on Thursday. At
that period Madrid is again represented as
perfectly tranquil, and the only other infor-
mation these arrivals bring, which has not been
anticipated, is the nomination by the KING
of several individuals to various offices in his,
Royal Household, who are well known for their
4itachinent to the present Constitution of
Spain, by which it would seem as if the,
KING had resolved on giving a public demon-
stration of his adhesion to the Constitutional
System.

The complaint of the Spanish Ambassador at
the Court of the Tuileries, against M.M. Ouv-
RA !ID and ROUGEMONT DI: LOWENDLIIG, the con.
tractors of the loan with the Regency of Urge!,
came on for hearing on Tuesday last, and
after the preliminary forms had been gone
through, the Court adjourned for a fortnight in
consequence of the lateness of the hour.

It was reported at Odessa on the 21st of Dec.
that on the 25th of Sept. Count de NESSELRODE
had delivered to the Congress a Circular Note on
the affairs of the East, in which the Russian
Cabinet insists upon all its former demands.—

Copies of this Note are said to be circulating a
Petersburgh.

We gave some time ago an account ofa landing
on Porto Rico by a party of Bucaniers, together
with a proclamation, issued at the time when,
having but just set foot on an obscure corner of
the island, they impudently constituted it a re-
public.' The result of the enterprise, which we
learn by letters of the 20th of November from
Havannah, is such as might have been expected.
La Torre, the Governor of the island, • who had
early and secret intelligence of their proceedings,
marched down one morning to the spot they occu-
pied, and with a force of only 100 men, sue-
ceeded in capturing the whole party. It appears
that they had some partisans in the interior of
the island, but who bad been detected through
the vigilance of the Governor, and the whole were
to be brought to trial. A Frenchman of the
name of Du Bois had been executed.—(rimes.)

COUNT MUNSTER.—It is with much satisfac-
tion we announce to the public that this Noble-
man is in a fair way of recovery from a recent
severe accident which had nearly proved fittal.—
As his Excellency was stepping into his carriage
from his own door in Grosvenor-place, and giving
orders to be driven to Baron BESK, in Sloane-
street, he missed his footing and fell heavily
down before any servant could possibly render
him assistance ; the consequence was the rup-
ture of a blood vessel, which evacuated itself
profusely through his ears, nose, and mouth.—
lie was immediately conveyed into the 'house,
and a servant was forthwith dispatched for Mr.
PAIsLOW, of Eaton-street, who soon attended,
and applied such remedies as the nature of the
case peremptorily demanded. The alarm, now
spread among the household, quickly reached
the Countess, who, terrified and distracted, sent
for additional medical assistance ; the copious
flow of blood being checked in a great measure,
hopes were entertained he might do well ; he
was put to bed in a weak languid state, and for
some days continued in a fluctuating condition.
At length be was pronounced out of danger.--
During the interval the amiable Countess was
unremitting in her care and attentions; and we
are happy to say her Ladyship is now fully gra-
tified by his Excellency's returning health and
spirits.

A commercial traveller, who regularly thrice a
year proceeds from London northward through
the great manufacturing districts to Glasgow and
Paisley, and thence down south-westward through
Liverpool, Gloucester, Bristol, and Somerset-
shire, to Exeter and Plymouth, has. just com-
pleted his tour for the third time this year; and
he states, that he never knew the manufacturing
towns more fully and more generally employed
than at this, moment.—(Caledonian Mercury.)
DOVER, JAN. 16.—Inquests were held to-day,
before JORN JEKEN, Esq., Mayor and Coroner
for this town, on the bodies .of William Cullum,
late deputed mariner of the Badger revenue
cutter, and on thr'ee persons, whose names are
unknown, forming part of the late crew of the
Three Brothers cutter, brought into this harbour
by the Badger, who were killed in the action be-
tween the two vessels (as mentioned in TUE SUN
of, the 16th) ; • and after an investigation of five
hours, the Jury returned a Verdict of=" Wilful
murder against some person or persons unknown,"
in the case of Cullum ; and a Verdict of—" Justi-
fiable homicide," in the case of the three men.
In the course of the evidence, it appeared, that
after the smuggler had called to the revenue
officers for quarter, which was granted, that the'
former fired into the. Badger, by which the de-
ceased, William Cullum, was killed.
THE SERPENTINE RIVER.—The heavy fall of
snow on Tuesday night, prevented the opera-
tions of the Skaiters on the subsequent day ; but
on Thursday they were partially resumed, and
yesterday many 'tracks and circles were cleared.
A slight thaw from the effects of a westerly wind,
melted the snow around the banks of the river,
and made the access of the firmer ice very disa-
greeable, for the water stood in pools intersecting
the way. The snow when formed into hillocks,
presimted a singular appearance, being ice bergs
in miniature. About three o'clock yesterday
there were a few good Skaiters ; but the major
part were very indifferent, Many Of the water-
men broke up their stantio at an early hour from
the want of custom,
