GOVERNMENT NOTICES

The Lieutenant-Governor desires it to be not' fied, that the
lands of Mangonni have been purchased for her Majesty the
Queen ; and he therefore cautions the public•a?,ainst building,
cutting timber, or trespassing thereon. Those persons who
have established themselves on these lands, either by building
or enclosing grounds for cultivation, will be permitted to hold
such tenements or lands undisturbed until the Commission, to
be hereafter appointed, shall decide upon the rights of the re-
spective parties.
We witnessed on Saturday last with much satisfaction the
arrival of a French whaler : it is the first whaling vessel which
has resorted to Port Nicholson to refresh. She belongs to
flavre, has been out 13 months, and has 2,300 barrels of black
oil, and 7 tons of whalebone.
The city of Adelaide, including parks and reserves, covers
more that 3,300 acres.
Accounts from Frankfort state that the Government of the
Grand Duchy of Hesse has contracted with the house of
Messrs. Rothschild a loan of 1,500,000 florins for the expenses
occasioned by the armaments.
Accounts from Berlin, of the 10th of February, state that
up to the present time the Prussian Government excluded
the Israelites from all situations under their nomination, but
that unjust exclusion has now ceased, and the Kine has named
a Jew, Benjamin Mellis, as Justice of Peace of Heinsberg (ar-
rondissement of Aix-la-Chapelle), and his isfajesty has con-
ferred on him the honour of the decoration of the Red Eagle.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FILIDA Y.—We have had a
large business transacted daily through the week, the trade pur-
chasing freely, and speculators being by no means inactive,
having taken 17,300 bales of American and 700 bales of Surat.
For export 450 bales of American have been taken. The mar-
ket has fully recovered the depression we noticed in our last
report, prices of American being quite per lb. higher than
they closed cn Friday last. The last. accounts from the United
States continue the report of a short crep. A large busines
is being done to-day at very full prices, the sales of all kinds
being estimated at 8,000 bales.

We have just received Jamaica Papers, by the West Indian
mail, to the 21st of January, by the Delight, sailed from St.
Thomas on the 21st of January, from Cape Horn 26th of
January.

Appearances bid fair for a desperate struggle at the next
election in this city. Votes are be►ng registered from every
quarter, and those who never before took an interest in such
matters are anxious to secure to themselves the right of exer-
cising the franchise.

TOBAGO.—We have but one paragraph to extract relating
to the Ireland, and that is an account of the weather. The
Tobago Gazette, on this head reports, " This day and pre-
ceding night, the rains long wished for during the parched
state of great part of the island, have caused vegetation to be
partly copious."
'I he following is an extract of a letter, dated Barranguilla,
Dec. 24 :—" Private advices from Bogota inform us that on
the 9th of the present month General Iberran had gone from
Apaguira, at the head of 3,600 men, in pursuit of Gonzalez,
which routed Gonzalez • on the 2vth October, and 1,000 re-
cruits. Barrero is marching against ordova, from
Antigua. We have not learnt anything from Trinidad. The
rains which have succeeded the hot weather of October have,
with slight intermission, continued to fall throughout the
whole of that month.

Accounts from Carthagena state that affairs are in a very
disturbed state in that quarter. Imprisonment takes place
daily. The British Consul there states that for the protection
of British property it was absolutely necessary that a vessel of
war should be stationed at that place.
Consols have been during the morning alternately buyers
and sellers at 883 for the Account. Tnere is not a feature in
either of the Markets worth attention to the present hour.
Consols for Money BSb ; have been 681 ; Exchequer Bills,
6 preen. ; India Bonds, 14 9 dis. ; Bank stock, mi.
In the Foreign Market only two bargains have been done
during the morning, and that was in the Portuguese and Dutch.
Portuguese, '1 hrec per Cents., 19i ; Dutch Five per Cents.,
99A.

In the Share Market very little doing; prices much the
same as yesterday. Great Western, 61i ; Ditto, New, N ;
South Western, 58i ; Manchester and Leeds New Shares, 331.
The Peru steamer arrived at Lima on the 7th September.

The Countess Samoyloti; a noble Russian lady
living at Milan, devotes much of her time, and large por.
tions of her torture, to works cf benevolence and thelen-
couragement of the arts. She has constructed a small
theatre ia her own residence,
where with some of her
friends she performs dramatic pieces to select audiences.
A short time ago the Countess and her amateur company
gave a represent ,tion at a public theatre, in behalf of some
new establishments forming at Milan for the education of
indigent children. Although the prices of admission were
augmented six-fold, every place was taken, and the pro-
duce amounted to 17,000 r., the Countess having paid the
whole expenses of the n'ght out of her own purse.
ROTTEN BOROUGHS.-Nearly all the small
places in Cornwall that were disfranchised have mate.
ridly improved since they were placed in Scedule A;
but the most striking instance is Callington, which ap.
pears to improve in appearance and prosperity every day.
