DEATH OF THE BARON DE VERNEVIL.—Died at
Paris, on the 19th of December, 1851, in the sixtieth year
of his age, the Baron F. T. A. Chatriz de Vernevil, A.M.,
a man of varied talents, extensive learning, and varied ac-
complishments. He was educated at the University of Paris,
where he took the degree of Master of Arts at an early age.
In the course of a life of great literary and scientific labour,
and much travel, he was decorated by various Sovereigns and
universities with orders and titles of high dignity. He was
Knight of St. John, Knight of the ,Order of Charles 111.,
F. 51 S. of Spain, F.S.A. of France, F.R.S. of Saxony, In-
spector of the Studies in the University of Paris, and one of
the Directors of the University of Madrid. A few years
ago his eyes were injured by an explosion during a chemical
experiment, and for a long time before his death he was
totally blind. But this calamity did not diminish the acti-
vity of his mind or the zeal of his studies, in which, to the
last, he was as indefatigable as in his youth. Much of the
latter part of his life was occupied in propagating and per-
fecting, with the co-operation of Mr. J. F. Hoskins, Member
of the Royal (now National) Conservatory of Music
in Paris, the new theory of Geneuphony, invented
by that illustrious patriot and scholar of Spain, the
General Don Virnes y Spinola ; and he had the
gratification, after great difficulty and greater per-
severance, to witness the success of his distinguished friend's
system of musical science, entitled Geneuphony, in a fair way
to universal adoption, it having received the especial patron-
age of Prince Albert, taken as the text-hook in the Royal
Conservatory of Music in Madrid, and stamped
with the unqualified approbation of the great Ros-
sini, who testified his appreciation of this disco-
very of the natural laws of music, by composing an
elaborate canon to illustrate the application of the geneu-
phonic principles. The Baron had been in declining health
tor a considerable time, and had some pecuniary difficulties
to contend with; but he died in comparatively easy circum-
stances.

BISHOP PORTEUS ON A REVISION OP THE
THIRTY-NINE AILTICLIS.—" At the close of the year 1772,
and the beginning of the next, an attempt was made," says
tue pious Bishop Porteus, " by myself and a few other clergy-
men, among whom were Mr. Francis Wollaston, Dr. Percy,
now Bishop of Dromore, and Dr. Yorke, now Bishop of Ely,
to induce the bishops to promote a review of the Liturgy and
Articles, in order to amend bo.ll, but particularly the latter
—those parts which all reasonable persons agreed stood in
need of amendment. The answer given by the Archbiemp
of Canterbury (Cornwallis), February 11,1773, was in these
words,' I have consulted severally my brethren the bishops,
and it is the opinion of the bench in general that nothing can
in prudence be done in the matter that has been submitted
to our consideration.'"— Works of Dr. Foams, Bishop of
London ; Codell and Davies,lBl6. Vol. i., p. 38-49.
DEATH OF A CHARTIST LEADER.—OH Friday Mr.
John Skevington, who had for many years past been the
leader of the Chartist body in the neighbourhood of Lough-
borough, expired. Apart from his adherence to the princi-
ples of the Charter, Mr. Skevington was an uncompromising
to civil and religious liberty, and as such his loss is
much regretted. About twelve months ago he retired into
more quiet habits of life, and it is believed settled down with
the Wesleyans, and became a decidedly Christian man. We
are happy to add his end was peace.—Nottinghanz Journal.
THE LINEN DRAPERS', SILK MERCERS', &C., IN -
sTirunoN.—The ball usually held at this serson in aid of
the fends of this, the first •established of the metropolitan
trades' institutions, took place last night at Willis's Rooms,
St. James's. A list of stewards, well selected from the lead-
ing houses, ensured a good attendance, and the whole of the
arrangements afforded perfect satisfaction to a company of
nearly 403 persons, who, with the aid of Adams's band, and
Messrs. 'Willis's excellent catering, kept up the festive meet-
ing until a late hour. Mr. lieudersou officiated as master of
the ceremonies.

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
_ _

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were estimated at
5 000 bales, comprising 4,000 American, 300 Pernans
and Maranham, at Bed. to 81d.; 250 Egyptian, at Bkd.;
and 300 Surat, at sd. to 6d. per lb. The market closed
heavily.—Railway Shares were firm.

The markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce have
been pressed upon by heavy supplies of the principal
goods, especially Sugar, and the expectations of those
who looked for higher prices and a brisk demand have
been thus tar disappointed upon the re-opening of the
market. There is still reason to conclude, however, that
the grocers and others will cre long come in more freely
as buyers, and it may be that the importers will then ob-
tain better terms. Compared with this time last year,
several staples rule high, and an enhancement in the
value of money would probably have a prejudicial effect
OR prices for a short time, though we cannot believe that
any permanent reduction will occur, taking into account
the steady consumption goin on, and the vastly increased
wants of the strangers who will this year visit our shores.
The Coffee duty question is not likely to:slumber this
session of Parliament, for the serious decline in the con-
sumption shows that both the public and the Govern-
ment suffer. Messrs. Franks and Millard tell us that
"Coffee is the only article—the only article at least of im-
portance—which has the incubus of differential duties
upon it without a term being fixed for its being released
from the burden; and the consequence is that it has
languished both in quality and popularity; it has be-
come at once bad and dear, and the consumption of it
has of course been progressively decreasing. What else
could have been expected? When a differential
duty compels us to use an indifferent article in
preference to a better one, the use of it will natu-
rally be abandoned; and even the bad article will
become worse under its protection from fair com-
petition. The well-cultivated Coffees of Ceylon be-
come scarcer every year, because the native, or almost
wild, growth can find a market here against the Costa
Rica, Laguayra, &c., with the heavy differential, and
almost prohibitive, duty laid upan the latter. Thus
what is supposed to be for the protection of our own
colonies is actually by degrees working their ruin.
Ceylon is capable of being made to produce Coffee good
enough in quality and sufficient in quantity, to supply
the present demand of the whole world; but under this
injudicious system that beautiful island is relapsing into
a wilderness.

"We should, therefore, for the sake of our own
colonial dependencies alone, advocate the immediate
abolition of the differential duty on Coffee. It has not
been found to conduce either to their profit or their
civilisation."

Late advices from Turkey state that the new code of
commerce had been arranged, having received the
anxious attention of the commission appointed to frame
it, but that the formation of tribunals of commerce,
owing to their clashing with the laws of the country,
could not, for the present at least, be carried out.

The English StOck Market has not been so buoyant
as yesterday, but there is a fair business doing. The in-
telligence from Paris is still rather a check upon prices.
Consols have been 96i for Transfer, and 961. for the
16th instant. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 98i to 99, and the Three per Cents.
97. to .. Batik Stock has been steady at
2131. Exchequer-bills are barely so good, being 58a.
to 61s. premium. The loans obtained from the Batik of
England while the transfer books were closed have been
repaid.
The foreign investments are heavy, and sympathise
with Consols. Spanish Three per Cents have been 38 to It.
and Portuguese Four per Cents. are 341 to 35f nomi-
nally. Mexican Bonds have receded ,to 34...
Brazil
Stock is at 891. Russian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents.
have been 96k ex div., and Danish Five per Cents. 1001.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 90i to 91.
In Railway Shares there has been moderate transac-
tions, without any important fluctuation in prices. Great
Northern, however, have suffered materially by the fall•
ing off in the week's traffic. Midland look well. French
Shares much the same.
