On Friday an inquest was held at the George,
Brooke-street, Ho!bort), on the body of Mr. J. Compton,
aged 45, landlord of the on
Buchers, Brooke's-rna-rket.
About 12 months ago the wife oft the deceased died, which
had such an effect cn his mind that it was necessary to
confine him at the Lunatic Asylum, Brook. green. About
a fortnight back he was liberated, but his depression of
spirits remained. On Thursday morning he plunged
head-foremost into a water-butt, and assistance did ❑ot
arrive for a few minutes. He was then taken out and
conveyed to his bed. During the temporary absence of
hie daughter he swallowed some oxalic acid, which had
such an effect upon him that he died in a few hours.
Verdict—Temporary InsaniTy."

On Wednesday the wind changed to the north, when
about fifty sail of outward-bound ships put to sea, and have
continued on their respective voyages, though the wind
shifted to the S.S.W. the next day. This morning the
wind was S S. E. when several others got under weigh,
and will no doubt m ,ke their voyage without any further
detention. Among these ate five for Australia, four free
traders to India, two for the South Seas, eight for the
West Indies, and three for the Mediterranean. The
Upton Castle, Dugan, for Bombay, with Major-General Sir
John Keane, K. C. 8., Commander of the troops at Bombay,
and suite on board, railed this afternoon. The James

S. Roberts, aed will sail to.morrow for the Mediterranean,
to assume the command. Lieutenant H. B. Young, Mr.
J. Napier (master), and Messrs. Willoughby, Veitch,
Maxwell, and Daly (midshipmen), took their passage in
tie Endymion to itin their respective ships. Upwards
of twenty marines also embarked, to supply casualty
vacancies in the fleet.

The Sparrowhawk, IS, Commander Pearson, is ex-
pected to sail for the South American station about the
4th inst. The Lightning steam vessel is waiting the ar-
rival of Lord Howard de Walden, Ambassador to Lisbon,
tip convey Jim to the Tagus. The Firefly sailed on
Wednesday for Falmouth, to take out a Lisbon mail. The
Jupiter troop-ship will be ready to rtceive detachments of
troops on board for the Mediterranean on the 6th inst.

All the ships proceeding to foreign stations will take
out about ten boys, in conformity with the excellent plan
lately adopted by the Admiralty of forming these nur-
series fur topmen in the guardships, and thence transferring
them into active ships, to qualify them for their several du-
ties, These will be supplied by fresh entries into the service.
No further indications have yet been given of intention
to commission the line of battle ships which have been
some weeks progressing from a state of ordinary towards
active service, beside a continued desire manifested by the
Admiralty at all the dockyards for their being completed
or such ultimate object.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN.3O.-
Thtre has been a changeableness in the cotton-market
since our last report, and an improvement in price of
per lb. was readily realised on new Boweds. The Surats
at auction yesterday sold steadily at previous market prices.
The Sea Islands brought fair rates, but did not average for
fine marks quite equal to previous sales by private contract.
Speculators have taken 1,400 American, and exporters
150 bags. The import this week is 12,723 bags, and
the sales are 18,880 bags,—viz., 120 Sea Island, 141(1.
to 16d. ; 60 stained ditto, 81d. to 12r. ; 1,730 Boweds,
7Ad. to 91; 4 250 New Orleans, 7 1. to 10(1.; 1,500

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. -- A MAN
PORCUPINE !--A middle-aged man, of very athletic and
robust form of body, presented himself at the hospital a
few days ago, in order to show himself to the surgeons
and students of the establishment. He is completely
covered with a green horny subs.auce in the form of
quills, not dissimilar to those which are produced on the
porcupine. The parts which have escaped the d fortuity
are his face, the palms of his hands, and soles of his feet ;
every other pact of his person is abundantly supplied with
this green horny substance. He sheds his horns or quills
annually, and a fresh crop succeeds. He has been thus
afflicted since his earliest infancy, and all the male mem-
bers of his family, down from the great grandfather, have
been similarly well furnished. His general health is excel-
lent, and his secretions very regular. A model has been
taken of him in one of the Borough hospitals.—London
Medical and Surgical Journal.

Great activity prevails to improve both Houses
of Parliament prep tratory to the ensuing Session. Painters
and other workmen have been employed for some time.
The floors have been new matted on an improved plan ;
by painting the mats underneath the dust is prevented
passing through. Instead of the old mode of securing
places by Members posting up their names in watered
slips, bronze frames have been affixed over the seats, in
which cards can be placed. A brass beading ha+ been
substituted fur nails in the entire fitting up of the House
of Commons, new fringes, and the gilding has been entirely
renewed. The arrangement with regard to places does
not extend to the Treasury bench. Similar improve-
ments have taken place in the House of Lords ; the
steps of the Throne have been new carpetted, and the
whole appearance of the House has been highly improved.

Messrs. Telford and Palmer, the engineers,
hive arrived at Dover, for the purpose of surveying the
harbour, and reporting their opinion on the present state
of it, which is so bad that for the last three months it has
frequently been impracticable, for a week together, for
vessels to enter. This has arisen, it appears, chiefly from
the effect produced by the tides and heavy seas on the
shingle of which the beach is for the most part composed.
The inhabitants of Dover, who feel the great importance
to the town of a secure and at all times practicable har-
bour, are combining zealously in favour of the desired
improvement, in which no doubt the local authorities,
with the wardens of the Cinque Ports, will give their
cordial assistance. A memorial to the Government has
been prepared o❑ the subject, and very numerously signe,/.
LIVERPOOL, CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN.3I.
Ile arrivals coastways and from Ireland since Tuesday
coot lio a fair supply of wheat and oats, but thuse of all
other articles are light, and we have no grain or flour re-
cently in from abroad. Without any extraordinary busi-
ness during the period between Tuesday and to-day, the
general currency of our last circular remained stationary.
To-day a few parcels of Irish wheat were again taken with
a view to hold over, but the millers anticipating further
supplies, and a better choice of samples next we,k, were
for the most part rather inactive, and on the whole the
transactions i❑ this grain were upon a limited scale, with-
out any determined change in prices. Flour was in
moderate request, and fully supported our last quotations.
Barley was little inquired after, but, not being plentiful,
maintained its late value. Milt was full as dear as on
Tuesday, and in the absence of arrivals, ordinary samples
have moved off more freely, and the quantity of all descrip-
tions generally diminishing. Beans and peas, of which
the quantity is inconsiderable, supported former prices.
The increased supply of oats caused a dull sale this morn-
ing, and the rates last noted were barely obtainable. Oat-
meal was also i❑ slow demand, but not lower.

The Court of Assizes was occupied the whole
of yesterday (Friday) with the trial of the persons
charged with fabricating and issuing the Bank of England
notes. The pleadings of the counsel for the prisoners,
the reply on behalf of the prosecution, and the summing
up of the president, concluded at 12 o'clock at night,
when the jury retired to consider their verdict, and
remained an hour in deliberation. On their return.
they pronounced Melignan guilty of fabricating, and
Funvielle guilty of knowingly issuing, the forged notes,
but acquitted }Pries and Ragon, who were imtnediat-iy
discharged. Melignan was sentenced to five years' solitary
confinement, and to stand in the pillory, and Fonvielle to
five years' imprisonment.—French Papa•.
THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE.—We are au-
thorised to state, that no further impediment has been
thrown in the way of The Minister and the Mercer,
which has been delayed, on account of its new scenery,
until Siturday, when it will positively be produced. Her
Majesty honours Drury-lane with her presence en Thurs•
d.y next, to see The Wedding Gown, My Neighbour's
Wife, and St. George and the Dragon. The Revolt
of the Harem, in which Pauline Leroux, Vagon, and
other dancers from the Academy Royale, appear, will be
produced the day after to-morrow. The obstacle to the
representation of Jephta's Vow has been removed, and
that Oratorio will be performed at Covent-garden
on the 14th instant, when Mr. Braham and Ma-
dame Feron will make their appearance in it. We men-
tioned a fortnight ago that Knowles was altering his
play of The Beggar's Daughter of Bethnal Green
for tie Victoria Theatre. Ile has now completed his
alterations, by introducing several new scenes, one of
which is or peculiar and strong interest. He has likewise
compressed the story into three acts, so that the incidents
follow each other with greater rapidity, and the attention
is constantly kept alive. He read it on Friday in the
Green-room of the Victoria, in the pre-ence not only of
the performers, but of his accomplished, beautiful, and
warmhearted cousin Mrs. Norton, who came to the The-
atre for the purpose of hearing it, and of giving Knowles
encouragement under his many disappointments. Lord
Byron's Sardanapalus has been laid aside at Di ury-Line,
at all events until the success of the forthcoming novelties,
of French extraotion, has been ascertained. The author-
ship of The Revolt of the Harem (to be represented at
Covent-garden, for the first time, on Wednesday night)
we understand to belong very much to Mr. Bunn. The
machinery for this fairy Opera is of the most extensive,
expensive, and weighty description ; we are told, heavier
than any that has been used within metnory.
LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY I.—Arrived the
Henry and Sarah, from Santa Martha. Arrived yes
terday, the Royal William, from Charleston, sailed on the
4th ult. ; Burlington, anti Benjamin Morgan, from Sa•
vannah, sailed on the 3d ult. ; William Brown, from Ne ,
Orleans, sailed on the 23d of December ; Charles Joseph,
from New Orleans, sailed on the 25th of December ;
Agnes, from Savanilla ; Vine, from the Mauritius, sailed
on the 25th of October; Berbice, and Pinter, from
lirbice, sailed on the 15th of December; Isabella, and
Henrietta, from Demerara ; Temperance, from Jamaica :
Grenville, from St. John's, New Brunswick ; and Willie
from Konigsberg.

The Revista seems to wish to put itself forward as
the advocate, if not the organ, of the new Administration.
The following passage from the leading article of its last
number deserves to be extracted, because the terms in
which the new Minister, Martinez de la Rosa, is spoken
af seem to find an echo in almost every heart ;
" The supreme authority in all its extent is vested in
the person of the Queen Regent, in Maria Christina, the
widow of our deceased Monarch, and the mother of our
innocent Queen. We would not detract in the slightest
degree from her sovereign authority, because we know
that it is the shield and the safeguard of the Spanish
nation ; our wish is that it may sustain itself by those
means which were once the centre of the nation's noble
pride and the levers of the mighty power of her Kings.
It was these means that secured the threatened crown of
the first Isabella, and they have still energy enough to save
that of Isabella 11., denying it for ever to him who has
lost the possibility of deserving it. He has lost his
eventual rights by the necessary recognition of those which
now exist, and in our mind there is more loyalty in
seeking this conservative co-operation than in leaving the
Royal authority expo-ed in a state of isolation to the
tempests with which it is threatened.
" Such is the mission of the Queen Regent, and such
are the duties of those who, by her independent choice,
have been raised to the rank of her most intimate advisers.
There are certain names which need only to be pronounced
to open the heatt to universal confidence, such as that of
him who, distinguished from his railiest years by his
brilliant attainments in literature, rose while yet young to
the tribune of our public assembly, to manifest the recti-
tude of his judgment and the extent of his knowledge—of
him who, when thrown upon a barren rock of Africt,
knew how to support hie misfortune,' with dignity—of
him who shrunk from the popular plaudits with which
he was received on his return--of him who, when
invested with legislative functions, never sought for
vengeance against his enemies—of him who, when
rapidly traversing his ministerial career, obtained the
respect of foreign Cabinets and the esteem of his
countrymen, while he respected himself the Royal autho-
rity, and caused it to be respected by others.—of him who,
in his travels in every part of Europe, collected everywhere
evidence of the high consideration in which he was per-
sonally held,—of him who, on his return to his native
country, continued to cultivate with glory that literature
which lie never ceased to love,—of him who never sought
to arrive at power by means of intrigue, nor to retain it
by unworthy means : this is the man who has just been
called from his tranquil retirement to occupy one of the
highest and most difficult situations in the Governinent.
We cannot tell what futurity may have in store for him,
but we

A steam-Vat., called El Bulear, has just been esta•
/dished by a Catalonian company to ply once a week be-
tween Barcelona and the towns of Palma and Port Mahon,
in the islands of Majarea and Minorca. She makes her
first trip Isom Barcelona on Sunday next, and is dristlibed
as a good sea boat, a fast sailer, and as being provided
with excellent accommodations. She is provided with
two engines of 50 hone power each, and it is expected
that she will be able to make the trip to Palma or Port
Mahon respectively in about sixteen hours. Flom the
beginning she is to be intrusted with the carriage of the
public mails from the Continent to the Balearic Islands,
an example of promptitude in adopting improved means
of communication which might be conveniently followed
by other Governments.

The Rev. Dr. Chalmers is recovering from
hi 4 severe illness. He was much better on Wednesday.
