u AUvEncr.E was invested with the insignia of
the Card,naiship and the A rehiepiscupal dignity of
the Pope's Legate, in the presence of the Royal
Family and the great officers of State. The cere-
mony was exceedingly grand and imposing.
A letter addressed by Captain DRIVER, of the
Greenlaw, relative to the Mauritius affair, to one
of our Tory Contemporaries, is severely commented
on by all the Paris Journals. They would have
acted with more discretion had they passed over
without notice such an absurd specimen of Bobad.l
braggadocio. Captain DRIVER'S letter ought
rather to have amused than annoyed our Gallic
Contemporaries. The race accustomed to impugn
the honour and courage of Frenchmen is pretty
nearly extinct in England.
A letter from Toulon states that the effective
French force in Africa does not exceed 48,000 men,
which is but the peace establishment voted by the
Chambers.

The Moniteur of Friday publishes a telegraphic
despatch from Foix, which states that the cattle
fair was held there on the 20th, and passed off
peaceably. There was a great deal of business
done, and the new rates of tariff were paid without
a murmur.

The elections in the northern provinces of Spain
commenced on the 19th. and in Guipuzcoa—tl►e
only province where the result was known in Paris
—the Liberals obtained a decided triumph.

The' Lisbon Nail, which has arrived, does not bring
much news of importance, with the exception that the Por-
tuguese are exasperated. at our cruizers capturing and
examining their ships. There is also a promise from
the Finance Minister, of his taking some measure in re-
sp. et to Ihe . . _ .

Madrid impels of the 16th, 17th, and 18th
inst. have reached us. They are quite barren
of intelligence of the least importance. It
was feared that the elections would not pass over
without serious riots—more especially in the capital.
The Ultra-Liberal candidates for the representation
of Madrid are ARGUELLES, CANTERO, MARIA
LOPEZ, FERMIN CABALLERO, CALATRAVA,
OLOZAGA, MENDIZABAL, OSCA, GOMEZ,
PARDO, and PEDRO MIRANDA, as Deputies,
and EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL, JOAQUIM MARIA
FERRER, and ALEXANDRO LOPEZ, as senators.

WINDWARD ISLANDS—TCBAGO.—The Gazette of this
island, of the Ist November, states that accounts from the
States from the windward, report the industry of the agri-
cultural labourers to be of:a more settled and less fitful cha-
racter for these last two months, with the exception of one
or two States ; and the reports are generally satisfactory,
as far as regards those who continue at estate work :
whilst to the leeward the accounts are more of a varied
character.

PHREis °LOGICAL SOCIETY.

The French ship, Elizabeth, having on board 295 emi-
grants, principally Swiss, has arrived at Trinidad, after a
very tedious passage of 53 days.
The packet sails to-morrow morning, and will take home
account° as favourable as those that were given since the
arrival of our new ruler ; it will be seen, however, that
the Assembly, after a sitting of nearly nine weeks, has ad-
journed over to the 17th March, having passed a number
of very important Bills, and got through an immense mass
of business

At the Fourth Meeting, the President brought before
the consideration of the Society the faculty termed by
Gall that of stratagem or artfulness. After reading
Gall's statement of the necessity for such a faculty in
animals, and of its various degrees and manifestations in
men and brutes, and the abundant proofs of its depend-
ence upon a particular portion of the brain, he re-
marked that Dr. Spurzheim gives an erroneous ac.
count of Gall's discovery of the organ, in saying
that Gall, from the prevalence of cunning in man-
kind, soon conceived the idea of looking for its
organ in the brain, and first observed it particu-
larly in a person who was deeply in debt, but had the
address to cheat his creditors, and even his mother, of
large sums of money, and died of phthisis under the
care of Gall. But Gall had noticed the relation of ex-
treme cunning, with an enormous breadth above the
temples, in a schoolfellow, when his phrenological views
first opened upon liim ; he afterwards observed the
same organiz ition in another shy schoolfellow, and the
person alluded to by Dr. Spurzheim is mentioned by
Gill as the third a..,1 did not become known to him till
he was practice.

( From the Singapore Prince Current of Oct. 10.)
REPORT ON TEIE MARKET.—The cargo of the Lascar
has been reported sinc.t our last, and the Lyra, from the
Clyde, has also arrived, but the cargo is not as yet re-
ported. We believe she brings a much larger supply of
Cotton goods than the Lascar.
Beer, Wine, and Spirits—Stock in first hand still large.
\Vines—With Sherry and Claret, which are the only:
kinds in regular demand, the market is supplied.
Brandy—Well supplied, and no wholesale demand.
Gin—Stock reduced, but the market well supplied.
Cotton Goods—Plain, printed, and coloured.
The imports during the week have been rather heavy,
and stocks previously very large. The Bugia traders are
now arriving, although slowly, and there is some improve-
ment in demand, but none in pricey.
Twist Gray Mule continues to be imported in large quan-
tities, and the stock is now equal to two or three years'
consumption ; there is rather more demand however.
We have received Demerara papers to the 14th Dec.
A meeting is to be held of the planters, merchants, and
thers, on the 13th, at the colony House, when certain
communications relative to emigration to the above colony,
from the United States of America, as well as exhibiting;
to the meeting other matters connected with this impot—
tant subject.

Woollens—We have not yet heard of any transacti,ans.
Scarlet and Spanish stripes are inquired for, but very-, low/
prices offered.

The PRESIDENT considered Dr. Spurzheim's infe-
riority to Gall was shown in his attempt to consider this
faculty, not with Gali, as artfulness, but simply as
concealment, and in his inventing a new term for
it, secretiviM—secretiveness. The answer given him
by Gall is, "in all the actions of men and brutes,
adduced by Dr. Spurzheirn for its illustration, I see only
artfulness, dissimulation. Why overload the language
with terms that nobody would guess the meaning of ?"
The President adduced as an argument against Dr.
Spurzheim, that at' artful person, asking a favour pr
mother whom he knows to be vain, might praige his
talents and allude to his rank and riches, without over-
;tepping th.• bounds of truth an inch—without asserting
what was not mill true, and even without concealing,
when he began his address, the object of his applica-
tion ; and that this, nevertheless, would be consummate
cunning—but cunning solely to put the person in good
humour. Another fanny of Dr. Spurzheim's, that this
faculty renders people reserved and secret, he opposed
by the fact that many reserved people are not at all
given to stratagem, and are merely disinclined to commu-
nication ; whereas others, who manage their affairs
adroitly, have no habitual reserve, and are secret only
when compassing a particular end ;—by the f tct of a
reserved and silent man being very different from an
artful and sly man.

Earthenware Large stock, but common it% good
demand.

Gunpowder—Large stock, but common in. good de,
mand.

The Malta mail brings a great nnmber of letters from
India, left behind by the last overland express from India.
They are of the same date as those previously received.
We have several files of papers from the East In.3ies,
but not of a later date than those received by the overland
express.

NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.
IMPORTANT.
DUBLIN, JAN, 24.-- The Synod of Mater have given in
their adhesion to the National System of Education.
For the last two months or upwards negotiations have
been going on between the Elders of the above respected
body and the Comraissivlrtrs of National Education, which
have at length terminted as I ;have stated above. This
has been effected in a great degree through the instru—
mentality of ills Excellency, with whom the majority
the C'bmissioners and the principal members of the
Synod (among whom was the distinguished Dr. Coo'ce),
had the honour.of dining yesterday on the occasion. The
adhesion of the Presbyterian Body may be said to I* on.
qualifipci, for although there has been a concession on the
part of the Board, it is of a perfectly unimportant enaracter.

GLENGARRY.—We learn that the present
Chief of the ancient sept or clan Macdonnell, namely, Mr.
Macdonnell of Glengarry, is preparing to embark for Australia,
with his family and dependents. He is constructing timber
heusee, and furnishing himself with various agricultural imple
ments, and other conveniences, for residence in that distant
region. Mr. Matalennell was compelled some time since to
dispose of most of the property, which was heavily mortgaged ,
and encurelleeett by his father, the late well-known Glengarry,

whose character, in its more favourable lights, was drawn by
