By the Montreal, American packet-ship, which arrived
yesterday at Portsmouth, we have received New York
papers to the 10th of January inclusive.
Governor Fairfield, of Maine, is again labouring it seems,
to stir up a commotion on the boundary question. He will
probably, on this occasion, prove an unsuccessful agitatsr.
His ground of complaint is so frivolous that even in Ame-
rica it will be found impossible, we imagine, t') nurse it
into a national grievance.

MISS STRICKLAND'S LIVES OP THE QUEENS
or ENG LA sn.—lt is worthy of remark that our historical lite-
rature has hitherto bean without anything like a complete work
on " The Lives of British Queens" one of the most interesting
and attractive topics that c •n engage attention, and especially so
at the present moment. We are happy to observe, however,
that this singular blank in our literature is now filled up, and
by a female pen. that of Miss Agnes Strickland, a lady who

termined to publish it in four or five monthly volumes, at the
low price of Ss. 6d. each, handsomely bound, and as each
volume Contains nearly 400 pages of letter press, and is beauti-

doubt that the public will respond to the taste and' liberality
displayed by the publisher, and that a very large impression
will be quickly demanded.
COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPT. WILLIAMS
—A Court-martial was held yesterday (Wednesday) on board
the Impregnable, Admirable Warren president, to inquire intothe circumstances of the loss of the Tribune, on the 28th No-
vember last, at Tarragona. The Court, after hearing evidence,
and the gallant Captain's defence, came to the opinion that the
loss of the Tribune was occasioned by an unusual hurricane,
and the sea to which she was exposed on the night of the 28th
Nov., 1839, and the general insecurity of the port of Tarra-
gona. The Court is further of opinion that no blame whatever

MONEY BEFORE HEALTH OR COMFORT--
Friday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Hips, at
the Red Lion, Princes-street, Westminster, on the body of
Sarah Rede, aged 32, the wife of a slopseller in Monmouth-
street. The case was one of sudden death simply, but it ap-
peared in evidence that deceased and her husband sacrificed
every comfort in life to the sacra (nisi fasnas, living in the
stingiest way possible in a room which scarcely had a stick of
furniture. Though they had amassed property to the amount,
it was stated, of 4001., they were in appearance no better than
miserable paupers. The deceased had of late been suffering
from consumption, but rather than see her money decline she
suffered herself to waste away by slow disease. It appeared
that the husband did not call in medical advice until twenty
minutes after his wife's death, for which several of the Jury
wished to censure him. At the suggestion of the Coroner they
refrained from returning a special verdict, and merely recorded
one of " Natural death."

WHOLESALE INFANTlClDE.—lnfanticide has,
under a new and more aggravated form, again become prevalent
among the Rajpoots. It appears that, instead of killing female
children immediately after their birth, they have adopted the
plan of waiting a few months, and then poisoning them.--Ben-
gal Paper.
