Madrid papers to the 13th have been received.

The Gazette of the 12th publishes two decrees, one
establishing an office, under the direction of M.
CAYETAISO CORTES, in which an exact return is to
be kept of the wealth of the kingdom ; and the other
uniting several of the branches of the public revenue
under one board.

A brother of the Duke of RIANZARES (MUNOZ)
has been appointed Minister to the Republic of
Venezuela. The Herald() has published an article
ngainst the marriage of the QUEEN with a Prince of
Coburg, which it is said has attracted the attention of
Mr. BULIVER, who has interfered to prevent such publi-
.cations for the future. So much was Mr.BuLwER offended
by the conduct of the Camarilla on the subject of the
marriage question, that having received an invitation
to a ball at the palace, he declined it on the plea of
illness, suffering severely in one of his legs. Her
MAJESTY, however, it appears, was not inclined to
dispense with his company, and sent a message that
one of the royal carriages would be sent to bring him
to the palace. He was thus compelled to exert him-
self, and after arriving in the royal presence found
himself so recovered as to be able to dance with her
MAJESTY.

'We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

They are principally occupied by electioneering
matters. It would appear that the opposionists of
all shades have united against the Ministry, and that
ultra-Republicans and Legitimatists will vote for
each others' candidates.

The Polish Emigrants also appear disposed to take
part in the electoral war.

The Courrier Francais of Friday states that
Russia is about to dispatch a secret mission to Pekin,
for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of commerce
with China. M. DEMETRIUS WASSIGEN is to be
the chief of the mission.

" It appears," says the Courrier—
" That Russia is desirous to establish at Kiakhta a consider-
able derot of merchandise from which the Chinese may at
all times draw the supplies they want, and she hopes to ob-
tain from the Celestial Government a treaty of commerce
securing to her the free admission through that part of the
frontier of all Russian merchandise, and moreover the
monopoly of certain articles which the English and Ameri-
cans were beginning to import. Such, we are informed, is
the object of the mission of M. Wassigen, and we may safely
assert that the convention about to be entered into will con-
tain some of those secret articles which Russian diplomacy is
so expert in introducing in all the treaties it concludes."
It is said that the Prince DE JOINV.U.LE'S squadron
will visit Tripoli, Malta, and Naples before its return
to Toulon, and that it is probable it may proceed
to the Levant should Turkey evince, any intention of
attacking Tunis. The Toulonnais states that the
Prince was instructed to leave two of his squadron at
Tunis.

The vintage promises to be the finest since 1811.
The strike among the miners at Anzin still con-
tinued. A strong military force is concentrated at
Valenciennes, to be ready in case of disturbances.
Accounts from Algiers are satisfactory.

THE NEW POETICAL ERA.--Mr. Colburn is about to
issue another poem, of the success of which, we understand,
he is as sanguine as he was of that of " The New Timon." It
is entitled " The Modern Orlando." The authorship is in-
tended to be kept strictly secret. This second poem is said to
be more decidedly satirical, and in the Beppo and Don Juan
style.
Mr. William Glover, of Leeds, has produced a design
in cloth for shooting jackets and over-coats, which be had
the honour a few days ago of submitting to their Royal High-
nesses Prince Albert and Prince George of Cambridge, who
have been pleased to express their admiration of it in the
most gratifying terms.

FUNERAL OF THE SOLDIER WHO IT IS ALLEGED DIED
FROM THE EFFECTS OF FLOGGING.—The remains of
Frederick White, of the 7th Royal Hussars, were interred at
Heston churchyard on Friday afternoon. The coffin was pre-
ceded by the band, who played the "Dead March in Saul,"
and was followed by several of his late comrades; and in the
absence of any of his friends, his horse was led covered with
a black pall as the chief mourner. It is said that a clue has
been obtained of some of his friends, who have been written to.
