manage well their own servants, by a proper se wctioi,
in the first instance, and by judicious rules and regula-
tions, positively, and without favour adhered to, with,
at the same time, every encouragement, to hay.ng re-
course to Lord Seymour's Act for protection and as-
sistance.

We understand t hat arrangements have been made
by the Board of Wel:kg 'or the preparation of the mansi' n
b-uilt by King William the Fourth, while Duke of Clarence
(known as Clarence-house) for her Royal Highness tl e
Duchess of Kent. It is expected that her Royal High-

remember:d that this is the mansion occupied by her
Royal Highness the Princess Augusta up to the time of

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKE I', JAN. 22.—We
have experienced a considerable revival in the dtmand
during the past week, both in West India and Bengal su-
gars, and prices may be quoted about Is. higher on low
qualities, and 2s. on the finer, from the lowest point before
Christmas.—Br istol Mercury.
TA M WOR TII—POLITICA L SUICIDE.—Sir R.
Peel delivered a lecture " on the Advantages of Know.
ledge to the Working Classes," to the subscribers to the
newly-established library find:reading room, on Wednesday
last, in the Town•hall. If Sir Robert's lectures become the
instrument of converting the humble burgesses of Tam-
worth to that great " knowledge" of their paramount in-
terests which alone can give them solid " advantages," be
will be the instrument of their moral and political emanci-
pation, and of a death-blow to the faction by which he
himself is sustained. —Sea ffordshire Examiner.
SIR COLIN CA M PIA ELL.—It is understood
that Sir Colin Campbell departs for his Government of
Ceylon on the 30th inst. Holding himself high rank in
the army, he will assume the command of the troops in
the island, and Sir R. Arbuthnot, the present commander
of the forces, will proceed to liindostan. Mr. Mackenzie,
the former Governor, being a civilian, a military com-
mander was required ; but by the new arrangement, a
saving will be effected of 2,5001. per annum—the amount
of Sir R Arbuthnot'a salary—the two departments now
centering in the same person.

THE ARCH IM EDES SCREW,—The Liverpool
Standard bas devoted considerable space to a clear and
circumstantial account of this important invention. "We
have much satisfaction," says the Standard, "in stating
that the Government have at length decided on adopting
it into the navy." We are not aware what grounds there
may be for such a rumour, but we believe that measures
have already been taken on the Continent for the con-
struction of several steamers on the principle of the Archi-
medes. In Bremen a Company has been formed for the
construction of several large s.teamets propelled by the
screw, and as soon as the vessels ai e ready, they are in-
tended to run regularly between that city and New York.

HAMBUItGH, DUTCII, AND FLAN

DERS MAILS.

A letter from the frontiers of Poland, dated 2d Janu-
ary, says, " The garrison of Warsaw and New
Georgiewek, is now again complete, and we learn from
the eastern frontier, that regiments hitherto forming
part of the southern army, continue to return to the
kingdom. In this manner the kingdom of Poland,
which was lately almost bare of troops, will again have
an army of a hundred thousand men.
BERLIN, JAN. 10.—,With the new year 'confidence
in the preservation of peace seems to increase, and our
stocks are rising considerably. The continuation of our
railway is now seriously contemplated. The great
railroad from Halle through Cassel to the Rhine, will
be commenced in the spring, at the expense of the
State. As we understand the Goverment intends to
issue for this purpose a paper currency to the amount of
several millions of dollars, to be paid off in fifteen years
out of the clear profits of the railway. In this man-
ner the State will obtain a capital without interest, for
the completion of the road, and afterwards have the
road itself for nothing.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 18,—The Slaais Courant of to-
day gives an account of the state of the river. The ice
had begun to break up, and the water was in general
rising. The Rhine at Cologne had risen, on the I6tb,
in the morning, 15 feet in 48 hours.
HANOVER, JAN. 12.—We can positively state that all
necessary measures are taken to have our contingent to
the army of the Confederation in readiness to march by
the Ist of March.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 22.—A letter from Couvin says :
—Since time immemorial the waters were never so
high as within these few days. Our suburb was for
some time entire), under water, and the inhabitants
were beginning to remove, but happily the water subsided.

GHENT, JAN. 2l.—The waters have risen several
centimetres since yesterday. The manufactories of
Messrs. Voortman and Coppens, and the establishment
of the Linen Society at Ghent, have been obliged to sus-
pend their works in consequence of the inundation. All
the distresses of a manufacturing population are in-
creased by the temporary privation of their wages.
In the environs of the city the inundation extends fur.
titer than the eye can reach, and in some places, where
the communications are interrupted to a great distance,
the inhabitants are in danger of experiencing as the
horrors of a famine. The barns and stables, which
contain the most valuable property of the country
people aro under water, and the loss will be incalculable.
Happily the weather has been constantly calm, but if a
high wind should arise to add to the ffccts of the inun-
dation, their ruin a null be complete.
The environs of Bruges are inundated to a large ex-
tent, and the damage is immense.
