COMME RCIAL.

A letter has been written by the United States' Consul at
Panama on the subject of packets in the Pacific. A vessel
is fitting out, to sail on the Ist March, intended for a packet
from Valparaiso to Guayaquil ; and we also understand she
will be followed by another, to run between Guayaquil,
Panama, &c. These vessels will, when established as in-
tended, and running in conjunction with one already trading
from Panama to Chagres, owned by the same persons, form
just such a line of communication as is recommended by the
Consul at Panama, and cannot but greatly facilitate the ex-
tensive commerce of this country by the Pacific Ocean.

Prince Esterhazy had not arrived yesterday evening

the Clarendon on his way to Melton Mowbray, has delayed his
departure for Leicestershire, in order to pay his respects to
the new Austrian Ambassador.

The Duke of Norfolk gave a grand dinner to Sir
J. Hobhouse, Mr. Creevey, &c., on Sunday evening, in St.
James's-square.

We are sorry to state that the Duke of Leeds is
is suffering under a severe fit of rheumatic gout.

The Marquis of Cholmondeley is in town, but se=
eluded from the world, being occupied in preparing a work
for the press.—Morning Paper.
The Earl of Durham has arrived at his residence in
Cleveland-row, from Lambton-Castle. The Countess and
Lady Fanny Lambton are expected to accompany Earl and
Countess Grey from the North.

Lord and Lady Stanley, since their arrival from the
north, have been on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Rich-
mond at Goodwood Park. His Lordship returns to-day to
Carlton Gardens.

Lord Hill has returned to his villa, called West-
bourne House, on the Harrow road, from his seat, Hardwicke

We regret that we have to announce, the death of
the Countess of Winchilsea, who expired early on Friday
morning (the 13th inst.) at Haverholm Priory, Lincolnshire.
Her Ladyship was Lady Georgiana Graham, eldest daughter
of the Duke of Montrose. She was born in 1791, and was
married to Lord Winchilsea on the 26th July, 1814. She
has left two children, Viscount Maidstone, in his 20th year,
and Lady Charlotte Finch Hatton, born in July, 1816.
The Earl and Countess of Mansfield and family

Lord John Russell on Saturday visited Lord Dur
ham at his house in Cleveland-row.

Mr. Spring Rice is stated to be among the number
of those who do not mean to vote upon the ensuing election of
Speaker.
The result of the forthcoming election of Speaker
has been an object of more than ordinary betting,. both of
the Stock Exchange and the different Club-houses ; so tha
almost as much money is likely to change hands on this ac-
count on the settling-day as sometimes occur at the termina-
tion of the Derby or St. Leger.
Six carriages belonging to Count Pozzo di Borgo
arrived in town on Saturday. One of them is a very splendid
state carriage. His Excellency has engaged an extensive
domestic establishment, and splendid state liveries are being
made, preparatory to the approaching drawing-room.
Gebrge Byng, Esq., the worthy M.P. for Middle-

couching, is completely restored.
DOVER, FEB. IG.—Arrived from Calais his Ma-
jesty's packet Crusader, Captain Lyne, with his Excellency
Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, and his suite,
and the French mail packet L'Estafette, having on hoard his
Excellency General Sebastiani, his lady, and suite. This dis-
tinguished officer is appointed Ambassador from France.
Their Excellencies leave for London in the morning.

The Earl of Belfast (ex-Vice-Chamberlain of the
Household) has broken up his establishment in town. His
Lordship has let his mansion in Arlington-street, but he
will retain his villa in the Isle of Wight, the delightful air
of which island agrees with the delicate health of his Coun-
tess, who does not " see company." The Earl having dis-
posed of his beautiful yacht, the Water Witch, to the Ad-
miralty, has another pleasure vessel of larger dimensions on
the stocks at Cowes, to be called the Daring.
LORD PANNIURE.—The rumours relating to the
dangerous state of the health of this patriotic Nobleman are
said to be unfounded. His Lordship is expected in London to
attend his duty in Parliament early in March. The last
accounts from Brechin Castle state that Lord Panmure is
perfectly recovered.
We are informed that Sir John Rennie, the original
arbiter under Messrs. Johnson's Plymouth Breakwater con-
tract, protested against the appointment of a new arbiter, and
has subsequently protested against the decision of Colonel
Fanshawe, as being completely erroneous, and contrary to the
contract, likewise when viewed as a case of equity, supposing
that no contract existed.

. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.—A requisitionhas
been handed about in Westminster since Thursday, for the
signatures of the electors, requiring Sir Francis Burdett to
declare whether he intends to vote for Sir C. M. Sutton or
not ; and, in case he should answer that it was his determina-
tion to vote for the late Speaker, calling upon him to resign
his seat for Westminster. On Saturday the paper received
990 signatures, and is to be presented to Sir Francis forthwith.
A Court of Aldermen was appointed for this day, at
one o'clock, to receive the returns of the elections of Alder-
men for the wards of Cordwainer and Bread-street, to hear
and determine appeals against serving the offices of Constable
and Inquestman, and on other business. The Lord Mayor
went in state to preside at the Court, attended by his offi-
cers, and afterwards gave a dinner to the two newly-
elected Aldermen and City Officers, at the Mansion-house.
DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
—Monday, a tailor of the name of Harper was discovered dead
at his residence in 13ailie Fyfe.', Close, Edinburgh. His death
appeared to have been caused by strangulation with his neck-
cloth. He had been for some time out of employment, and it
appears that his wife and him frequently quarrelled •, they
were particularly noisy on Sunday last, so much so that the
neighbours remonstrated with the wornon on the impropriety
of such conduct. The bedy was conveyed to the police-office,
and the woman was taken into custody.—Glasgow Courier.
