A letter from Valparaiso, of the sth of December, brings
news of the fate of the Delphine merchantman, Captain Coisy,
which left Havre a year ago, and had not since been heard of.
It appeared that she was wrecked on the 10th of June,lB4o, on
the island of Carnpana, 140 leagues south of Chiloe. Fortu-
nately (he whole crew, consisting of twenty persons, including
four passengers, succeeded in saving themselves in the ship's
boat, and securrag some provi=ions from the Delphine to sub-
sist upon in that. desert island; they saved also some parts of
the hull and sails to make a shed to shelter them.

On the 10th of October the Captain, his mate, and five
sailors arrived it San Carlos in a boat belonging to an Ame-
rican, which Intol happily arrived at the same island on the
lith of September. Captain Coisy left San Carlos again on
the 31st of October with a vessel large enough to contain
twenty persons, to go and fetch his unfortunate companions.
He took provisions for two months, hoping that they may have
been able to prolong their ems' ence in the melancholy abode
by gathering shell-fish and by hunting.

Madrid Papers to the 10th inst., have reached
us. There was a reriort that four bankers of

that city had offered to lend the Government
ninety millions of reals, but the conditions were
not made public. Senor IlAivioN CALATRAVA
has been nominated Under-Secretary of the
Finance department. The Funds were heavy.
The Fives were down to 274 for cash.

Belgian and German Papers of the latest
fates have reached us. The following extracts
*rom them will be found interesting:—

BRUSSELS, MARCH 14.—The pleadings in the affair o
D'Herbigny and Bucke!jau were closed yesterday afternoon.
The Jury, after twenty minutes' consideration, declared F. C.
Bucke!jau guilty of baying, by publishing in the Messager de
Gard, an article headed " Conduct of the Orang!sts," publicly
and maliciously attacked the constitutional authority of the
King and the constitutional rights of his dynasty.
The public prosecutor required the appiication of the pe-
nalty pronounced by Act 3 of the Decree of the 20th of July,
1831, respecting the Press (i. e., imprisonment for not less
than six months nor more than three years). The Court con-
demned Mr. Bucke!jau to two years' imprisonment and the
costs. It seems that he intends to appeal to the Court of Cal-
sation.

The discussion in the Senate in opposition to Ministers this
afternoon assumed a new and grave character. Twelve senator's,
upon motion, formed themselves into a Secret Committee, in
which was read the draft of an address
.to the King, praying
Thin "to modify or changes the present Cabinet, which had not
the confidence of the Chambers." At the desire of the Minis-
ter of Justice the discussion upon this address was postponed
till to-morrow, and it is probable that at the opening of the
sitting to-morrow an ordinance will be read for the dissolution
of the two Chambers.

phis afternoon, at a general meeting of the shareholders of
the Belgian Bank, it was unanimously decided to raise the ca-
pital of that estab'ithment from twenty to thirty millions.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Biberick, of the
10th of March, which says—" I am able to announce to you on
positive information that news has arrived to-day by express,
that the German Diet has decided that the Government of

Hesse Darmstadt must remove the stone barrier which it has
mad? in the Rhine, and must commence the work to-day or to-
morrow."

VIEW NA, MARCH S.—The Archduke Ferdinand, returning
from Syria by way of 'frieste and Venice, arrived here yester-
day afternoon quite privately, and received a most joyful wel-
come from the Imperial family. The public are looking for
an opportunity to manifest .the interest they feel in the house
of the young Prince, who is in the enjoyment of perfect health.
The thaw having been very gradual, the masses of ice in the
Danube begin to recede, and went down without any interrup-
tion, so that no danger is now apprehended. However, the ne-
cessary precautions are not suspended.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

It seems that no improvement in trade is taking place
in tt e manufa tilling districts, where, in frcr, it has be-
come a serious question whether the artisans shall not com-
mence working short time. This melincholy depression
in the trade of the country, leading as it doe; to daily
failures or embarrassments, continues, too, irs the fee a of im-
proved exchanges, and a comparatively easy money market.
All the stuck markets were in a state of great dullness
to-day, but this did not arise from any depression, as the
quotations snore fully supported. Consols closed at 894.
I for present transfer, and at 881 buyers for time.
The Active Spanish Bonds were steady at 23i to I,
Portuguese New Five per Cents. et 31, Colombian at 22i
to 23, and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents at 501 to t.
The Railway shares bad an upward tendency, and were
more dealt in this-afternoon.

Market to-day has been again veryC, inactive, the sales do not
amount to more than 2,000 bales, at Is. ed. per lb., a decline

chase, and for export nothing is doing.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date
Bo u nsE or AMSTERDAM.—The firmness of the Bourses of
London and Paris has caused a reaction in the prim of our
national funds, which were declining on Saturday. The busi-
ness done has not been extensive. The liquidation, which
takes place every two months, has caused some tran.actions in
the Actions of the Society of Commerce, which were done at
1601 and closed at 161*. Ardoin's were more firm, and
remained at 21k a 5-16; Coupons 21 1-16 It is stated

FINE ARTS.

JOHN KNOX ADMINISTEREVG THE
SACRAMENT.
Bodgson and Graves, London, 1841.
We were favoured yesterday with a private
view of this historical painting, which is the pro-
duction of Mr. W. Bonnar, of the Royal Scottish
Academy. The subject is the administration of
the first Protestant Sacrament in Scotland, at
the Castle of St. Andrew's, by John Knox, who
is represented in an attitude of imposing dignity,
addressing the communicants at the moment
when the sacred elements hare just passed
from his hands into those of his excited congre-
gation. In a prominent situation in the centre
of the picture sits Lilias, the wife of Lord Drum-
mond, and the daughter of Lord Ruthven ; in
her hand is placed the sacramental cup, which
she holds with an air of calm mental satisfie-
tion, as she listens to the pastor's admonitions;
beside her is her sister Barbara, waiting to re-
ceive the sacred emblem of her faith. Immedi-
ately behind them, and in the act of breaking
the bread, stand the sister and daughter of Sir
James Sandilands. Still further in the rear of
the picture is the Earl of Glencairn, a zealous
adherent of the Reformed faith; and beyond
him is seen the stern countenance of Sir James
Balfhur, who is directing the attention of the mail-
clad Lord Ruthven to a statue of St. Andrew,
which adorns the chapel. Among the right-
hand
group, and nearest the spectator, is seated
the celebrated Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount—
" Lord Lion, King of Arms," as Sir Waiter
Scott calls him in Marmion. The countenance
of this eminent man is full of thoughtful beauty,
and the expression has been admirably hit off
by the artist. Bending over Sir David Lyndsay,
stands Norman Leslie, who appears to have
just quitted the battlements, in order to be pre-
sent at the solemn communion ; and at the table,
in front of him, is the young, intelligent, and
high-mincled Earl of Arran, together with Sir
James Sandilands. These two figures are the
best in the picture, and their attitudes are re-
plete with ease and dignity. On the whole, the
painting is a very superior one ; every part of
the canvas is well filled out, without crowding or
confusion ;' the various characters arc nicely-de-
fined and discriminated ; and there is great
power as well as breadth in the lights and
shadows. The picture will make an admirable
engraving.
