really its basest and most subservient tool—the
Chamber of Peers.

The Paris Journals of Sunday are exceedingly
destitute of news, with the exception of the items
of intelligence given in our Foreign Summary.
The Address of the Chamber of Deputies was to
be presented to the KING on Sunday evening,
and at Monday's sitting the Minister of Finance
was to bring forward his Budget.
The Augsburg Gazette, in a letter published under the
head of—" Frontiers of Poland, 18th January," gives
curious details of the denationalisation of Poland; every
thing in that unfortunate country, every day assumes
more and more a Russian aspect. No accounts are kept
except in roubles and copecs ; on the great roads, the
distances are marked only in versts. Very recently,
bank-notes have been issued of the value of three silver
roubles, equivalent to twenty Polish florins. These notes
look very well ; the value is marked on the back in Eng-
lish, French, and German. 'Warsaw (says the letter, in
conclusion) will be very brilliant this winter ; the seve-
ral classes of society which can mix together rival each
other in giving fetes, for the Russians and Poles have
this in common, that they are all extravagantly fond of
pleasure.-13F

PROSPEC(TS OF REFORMERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin.,—As the time has arrived when your co-
lumns must be cleared for the efforts of our sena-
tors to increase rents and make a little nation of
a great one, our correspondence cannot be better
wound up than with a few guesses at coming
prospects, for the benefit of those who may agree.
We shall probably both of us confess to a
non-comprehension of the policy of those, who
considering the present House of Commons un-
likely to yield the abolition of the Corn-laws,'are
determined to try whether it will yield the
Charter. But these matters are not for us or
anybody to direct " ; they are of the things which
Epictetus called not within a man's compass,"
and therefore to be taken easily though they
amounted to roasting in a slow fire. It may
however be permitted, to speculate on conse-
quences.
It is understood the Abolition of the Corn-
laws is to be rejected with mirth. Of course
the mirth will be more " fast and furious" when
our tactitians ask for the Charter by way of a
diversion. But the substantial results will be
to come.
Will not these be, First, To bring over
the thinking part of the Unrepresented to
the belief, that because 'they have no poli-
tical power and want to get it, is the very
reason why they must work by getting some-
body who has political power, to act in a
direction which shall be in the interest of
both ; and, secondly, to force a great number of
those whose zeal for the extension of political
power was previously not much, into operating
in that direction in consequence of being cut off
from the direction they would have preferred ?
It does not follow that this is the best turn that
could have been given to the thing, if anybody
could have turned it as he liked. But is there
not promise about the turn, seeing it would come
of itself?

Yours very sincerely,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON

VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA
TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
This morning, at twenty minutes past eleven, his
Majesty. the King of Prussia, accompanied by
aron
Humboldt, General Von Natzmar, and the other
members of his Majesty's suite, were conducted
by Sir Henry Ellis, Mr. Panizzi, and other
officers of the British Museum, through the magnificent
rooms, cabinets, and apartments of that noble edifice.
His Majesty was attired in a plain unornamented "suit
of altogether a private character, nor did we discern
even a star on his breast. His coat was of a pompadour
colour, close buttoned, and the rest of his clothes black.
On passing through the Reading Boom, where most of the
literary men of .the day had assembled, together with
several ladies, a general rise took place, which his Ma-
jesty acknowledged in a courteous manner. His Ma-
jesty on passing through the Royal, or King George the
Fourth's Library, seemed highly gratified at the display
of many thousand volumes ranged on either side of that
room. His Majesty then proceeded in due order through
the stately apartments containing the works of sculpture
of Rome, Greece, and Egypt ; many of the more exqui-
site marbles attracted his attention greatly ; the cabinets
of natural history, with the cases of mine-
rals, coins, &c., did not, of course, during so
brief a review, allow of his Majesty's minute inspection,
a circumstance wiaich, no doubt, was a denial to the phi-
losophic tastes of Baron Humboldt. The Museum was
thronged with crowds of fashionable parties, eager to
catch a sight of the " crowned head" and his followers.
On leaving the Museum his Majesty proceeded to King's
College and Somerset House, where he was in due form
received by the authorities of both institutions.

The English Opera House has not been more
crowded for several months than it was on Monday even-
ing, when Mr. Allcroft's grand annual concert took
dame Duleken, Mrs.'
place. This was probably owing to the great combina-
tion of talent brought forward on tkie occasion, including
the well-kliewn names of Madame Caradori Allan, Ma-
Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, M. Benedict, Mr. Wilson, with
Seguin, Miss Fanny Russell, Miss
several others. Where all exerted themselves with so
much credit, it woulnl be Out of our power to particularise
the part which each person took, and we will therefore
content ourselves by saying, that with one single excep-
tion, where a comic song was introduced, we believe this
concert gave general satisfaction to a very large and
fashionable assembly.

Marshal Soult is reported in private letters from Paris
to be extremely ill of dropsy on the chest. The Marshal's
hotel was on Sunday thronged with visitors to learn the
state of his health. What conflicting hopes and fears
crowd the anti-chamber of a sick minister!
The King fixed Sunday evening for receiving the Ad-
dress of the Chamber of Deputies; How our Agnewites,
with the Bishop of London and the Magistracy of Edin-
burgh at their head, would rail if this breach of the Sab-
bath, instead of being committed by a King and the re-
presentatives of his kingdom, was imitated at an immea-
surable distance by some poverty-stricken retailer of
lollilops ! Suppose the King a vender of sugar-candy
and the Deputies an assembly of urchins in possession of
a farthing a piece of pocket-money, what a pious hubbub
would be raised by the Saints.
A letter from the frontiers of Poland, of the Ist of
January, contradicts the statements respecting the re-
cent defeat of the Russians by the Circassians. On the
contrary, it asserts that the Circassians have sustained
great reverses, which the Russian Cabinet attributes to
the absence of British agents, none of whom are now to be
found in that country. What is our old friend Daoud
Bey (Mr. David Uquhart) about ? Having disposed
of Lord Palmerston to his entire satisfaction, how hap-
pens it that his protecting shield is not thrown overlis
old friends, inhabiting the extensive range of the Cau-
casian mountains ?
The French Minister of Finance was to bring his budget
forward on Monday. In his preamble he says that he is
following up the operation of a loan. France, after fifty
years of revolution, of success, and reverses, has bor-
rowed at an interest of 3f. 91c., whilst Austria negotiates
under par its Five per Cent. Metallies, whilst Russia gets
an offer of but 87 for a Four per Cent. loan, and when
Holland issues her Two-and-a-Half per Cents. but at 51
and 52. It wai'demonstrated to him, that with the 150
millions borrowed, joined with the issue o'f Treasury Bonds
and other means, all expenses, now foreseen might be met
for two Years to come, without further loan or precaution.
T e • war budget, including Algeria, demands
o 295, 9,733 francs, for an effective of 344,000 men, and
84,2 c 8 horses. Of these 44,000 are for Algeria. A com-
i
panT per battalion being suppressed, 100,000 men more
will pass in to the reserve of 1843, and a reduction of
13,395 horses will be successively realized. These re-
duction, with other economy, will produce a diminution
of expense of 32,656,892 francs.
The 35,740,000 francs allotted to public works in 1842
will be so employed.
The budget of the navy amounts to 98,763,026 E, com-
prising 4,440,0004 for works, and 2,400,000 f. for steam •
packet boats. Between the navy budget of 1842, and
the present one for 1843, there is a dift'erence of
37,278,588 f. Reductions are to be realised by a dimi-
nution of the effective of ships' crews, and of the number
of armed ships, and of colonial fortifications. The esta-
blishment of steam-boats between Havre and New 'York
not having been realised, no credit is required. The
Government will, however, undertake to establish these
vessels.
Madrid letters of the 23d inst., state that a law has
been presented to the Cortes, forbdding all recurrence to
Rome for mass, dispensations, &c. The prelates of the
kingdom are alone to exercise this right, according to
the Council of Trent. Nuncios are forbidden to reside
in Spain. No money is to be sent to the Court of
Rome. Rome is to be allowed no right of confirming
ecclesiastical appointments. This point is to be settled
according to the 6th canon of the 12th Council ofToledo.
Exile is to be the punishment of the prelate who shall
seek confirmation in the gallium_ at Rome.
P1733/40 OPNION.
The Morning Herald observs that it is hardly pos-
sible to overrate theimportance of Mr. Gregory's return
for the city of Dublin, and adds, " In his own strong-
hold--thus early in the career of his magisterial an
civil authority, and after all his unscrupulous efforts to
swamp the constituency with pitchforked freemen--we
behold the champion of agitation and sedition signally
defeated in the rejection of such a candidate as Lord
Morpeth. All the respect which the personal character
of that nobleman justly commands—all the popularity
which his courteous" and obliging demeanour in office was
so well calculated to secure for him among the citizens
of all classes in Dublin, have not availed to save his
Lordship's election, when it was felt • that his return
would be incompatible with the spirit of Earl De Grey's
Government, and the certain progression of Irish prospe-
rity under the administration of Sir Robert Peel."
The Post has an article on the-subject of the difficul-
ties against which Sir Robert Peel's Government will
have to contend ; in the course of which it remarks:—
" His disadvantages arise out of the wretched state of
the national affairs bequeathed to him by his predeces-
sors. The revenue of the country has been thrown
away, and it must be built up again. There is a great
accumulation on the wrong side of the account, which
must, in some way or another, be cleared off. And
these financial difficulties must be contended with, at a
time when the manufactures and commerce of the coun-
try are remarkably depressed. Here, again, we trace
the bad management of those who, having ' reformed'
the Parliament in a violent hurry, did not know what tp
do with it when the steady work of statesmanship had`to
be attended to."
The Times, discussing the question of the mutineers
of the slave-ship Creole, says:—" By what possible right
can we claim to exempt certain crimes from the class of
murder, because committed in assertion of what would
have been the criminals' rights if they had been born or
transferred into English jurisdiction ? We might as
well call him honest who refused to pay a French debt
because it would have been barred in England by the
Statute of Limitations. Whatever difficulties there may
be in adopting the principle of the delivery of fugitive
criminals, whether in general or arising from our present
relations with America, all which we are far from under-
rating, we certainly cannot urge on behalf of these men
the plea of ' not guilty.' "
The Advertiser remarks in an article on the injurious
effects of party-spirit :—" The party names of IT and
Tory have sufficed to set society together by the ears ;
and while the people have been cuffing and cudgelling
each other, for the sound of a mere name, those who
fomented the strife have been gloating over the spoil.
The thing called Government has hitherto been em-
ployed to impoverish the productive millions for the ag-
grandisement of a luxurious aristocracy." -
The Chronicle thus accounts for the success of the
Tory Candidate at the Dublin election :—" In the result
of the city of Dublin election, the Tory journals discern
' a reaction ' in favour of their party. A gang of
swindlers, chuckling over the success of a professional
enterprise, might as well say that it was ' a reaction'
in favour of being plundered, that enabled them to lay
hands upon the property of their victim. The Dublin
election has been won by the combined influence of
fraud, bribery, and intimidation, carried to lengths so
scandalous as to render it impossible for Parliament to
pass over the matter in silence.
IVIONEY—TIDE—COMIKEILCE.
At a large public meeting, last night, held] at the White
Conduit House Tavern, relative to the present position of
the strike of the masons, it was stated that the strike
had now continued twenty weeks, and of the 375 per-
sons who composed it, only five had proved false. Messrs.
Wakley and Feargus O'Connor addressed the meeting,
upon the resolutions which were passed, thanking the
quarrymen for firmly refusing to cut stone for Messrs.
Grissell and Peto ; while another resolution stated it to
be clearly proved that Government had determined to
oppress the working classes.

The new synagogue in Burton-street, Burton-crescent,
was consecrated on Thursday with much ceremony.
Among the worshipers present were—Mr. 11. Monte-
fiore, Mr. F. Goldsmid, Mr. A. Mocatta, and a great
many branches of their families. The rolls of the Mo-

but neat construction.

NAVAL AND IVIZZITA.Rin
Yesterday accounts were received at Lloyd's from
Falmouth, stating that the crew of the brigantine
schooner Brisk, had carried the vessel out of the har-
bour to sea, on Thursday last, without the captain, and
that every means had been taken to trace the vessel
without success. She had on board a cargo valued at
2,0001., and was a fine ship, about 190 tons burden.
The field batteries at Woolwich were on the Common
several hours yesterday, firing and going through va-
rious evolutions, preparatory to a grand field day on
Friday.

LAW AND POZICE,
Yesterday, at Kensington Police Court, Major Isaiah
Linwood Verity appeared on a warrant charged with
having committed a violent assault with a life preserver
on Captain William Gordon, of Brompton-square. It
appeared that the two gentlemen passed each other in
the square on Friday night last, when the Major coughed,
and the Captain returned the compliment. This salute
led to high words, which were followed by heavy blows,
severely injuring the arm of Captain Gordon. It ap•
peared the rencontre arose out of some old grudge.
The defendant was bound over to appear at the Sessions,
himself in NU, and two sureties in 2501 each.
This day, at Marlborough-street, Frederick Rayner, a
young gentleman allied to a family of distinction, was
fined 41. for wantonly ringing at the door of several
houses in Regent-street at between five and six o'clock
this morning, and disturbing the inmates. The fine was
immediately paid,
At Union-hall yesterday, Enoch Woods, a confidential
clerk in the employment of Messrs. White and Green-
well, extensive linen-drapers in Blackfriars-road, and
Elizabeth Woods, his mother, were charged in conjunc-
tion with defrauding the above firm of 100/. and up-
wards. It appeared that the male prisoner had been en-
trusted with the purchase of goods on behalf of his em-
ployers, and suspicions having arisen that all was not
right, an investigation took place, when a large defi-
ciency was found in a particular stock. The female
prisoner aided in defrauding the establishment. Both
prisoners were committed for trial ; but, on the applica-
tion of Counsel, the son was adjudged to enter into his
own recognizance in the sum of 2001., and find two
sureties of 1001, each ; and the mother to find two
sureties of 501. each.
