SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
STANDARD.—We have received the following an-
nouncement from a quarter which ought to be well in-
formed :—" A meeting of the Bishops will shortly take,
place in London, for the purpose of considering the pre-
sent state of the Church, in reference to the doctrines
lately put forth in some of the ' Tracts for the Times."'
The time seems to have arrived when some such pro-
ceeding on the part of the heads of the Church
as is here announced is imperatively necessary.
We are well aware of the inconvenience, nay
more, of the danger of declaratory acts in such cases
as that now presented by the state of the Church :
We subscribe fully to the maxim that in theology, as in
law, definitions may be perilous, " definitiones lege sent
periculoste," and therefore we are far from condemn-
ing the forbearance of the Bishops up to the present
time. Many of their number, probably all of them,
to whom an opportunity has fairly presented itself,
have declared their disapprobation of both the
doctrines and practices of the Tractarian sect ;
and it was natural for men, pious, candid, and
modest themselves, to suppose that advice tendered
in such kind and gentle terms as those in which the
advice of the Bishops has been offered, would not fail of
success. We grieve, however, to say that such advice
has failed, and when the voice of mild admonition has
failed the voice of authority must be employed. Men
who will not listen to such appeals as that beautiful
letter of the Bishop of Worcester, which appeared in
yesterday's Standard, must be compelled, by other
means. As long as there was a hope that the Tracta-
rians would yield to the influence of common sense,
of the people, of the great body of the clergy,
and of the heads of the Church, we ourselves cautiously
abstained from even distant allusion to their propagan-
dist devices. The contest for the Chair of Poetry at
Oxford for one of the leaders in the schism, was how-
ever a step too daring to be safely disregarded, and
upon that contest we delivered our opinion freely ; but
when the particular affair that summoned us to act
bad ended, we hoped to be able to return to labours
more within our proper sphere, and for which we were
not so ill qualified. In this hope, however, we are
disappointed. The Tractarians have, by whatever
means, possessed themselves of a great part of the
periodical press, including some of the more respectable
organs of all ' the several classes of the press ; and
every one must be aware that, in this country, what-
ever is promoted by an important division of the
public. press must succeed in the end if the rest of the
press is inactive and acquiescent. They who are silent
will by enemies be set down as approving of all to which
they offer no -reply.
GLOBE.—The fashion that has lately sprung up in
Conservative quarters, of attributing all the poverty
and crime that exist in the country to machinery and
large towns, is becoming exceedingly prevalent, and
every day brings forth some neck invective against me-
chanical improvements and densely populated cities.
As evil happens to be inseparable from human nature,
it will, unfortqnately, always be found that where there
are many people congregated in one place, there will be
a great deal of what is bad amongst them ; but we do
not think that large towns, and the association of vast
numbers, are necessarily productive of more crime
than might exist in an equal number of indivi-
duals scattered about in different localities. Society,
even amongst the lowest class, act rather as a check on
evil than an incentive to it ; for there is always a con-
science that makes men ashamed of wrong, even while
human frailty allows them to be guilty of it. The
moral degradation into which the lower inhabitants of
many large manufacturing places are plunged, we un-
happily cannot deny ; but we do not admit that their
peculiar debasement is the inseparable consequence of
their numbers. Men are gregarious in their virtues as
well as in their vices ; for they are quite as capable of
being guided towards a right course in large masses as
they are individually ; and the laying all crime at
the door of over-population is absurd and unphilo-
sophical. There is no doubt that distress leads to
much crime, and where numbers are congregated,
want becomes more severe than in thinly populated
places ; but the duty of the statesman is to find
a remedy for the want, and moral improvement
will be tolerably sure to follow. We do not say that
the latter is not within the province of statesmen ; for
we think it, on the contrary, one of the highest duties
of Government to supply the moral as well as the phy-
sical necessities of the people ; but the former never
can be satisfactorily provided for while the latter are
unattended to. The crusade against machinery is, in an
age like the present, exceedingly curious ; for when me-
chanical improvement is looked upon as one of the dis-
tinctive features that mark the intellectual aspect of the
times, it is strange that what it has been customary
to regard as one of our greatest sources of glory
should now be denounced in the columns of the press
as the shame of our generation, and one of the chief
causes of its misery. To talk of checking the progress
of mechanical improvement is madness, if not some-
thing worse ' for- we are undeniably endowed with in-
tellectual faculties in order that we should make use of
.them, and not that we should do all in our power to
thwart their triumph and discourage their exercise.

',MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
TIMES.—It is stated in Mincing-lane that the tenour
of the answer received from the Board of Trade re-
specting the memorial addressed by the coffee importers
and others for the reduction of the duties at present
levied on the various descriptions is favourable ; that the
officials there will be glad to communicate with the trade
on the matter, and that an early day will be appointed for
the consideration of the arguments the memorialists have
to advance. Messrs. Franks and Co., in their circular
speak confidently of a reduction taking place, the Go-
vernment being, according to their representations, de-
sirous of encouraging the article. However, doubts seem
to arise in the minds of parties intimately connected with
the trade as to the policy of making any further reduc-
tion of the duty payable upon foreign, the reason as
signed being that there is already a sufficient competition
in the market by the 9d. duty, which brings in large
quantities of coffee, the produce of the Dutch colonies,
who are already successfully trenching upon the con-
sumption of our West India production by such legalized
importation.
It may be remembered that a short time ago a British
merchant-vessel was wrecked near Havre, and that some
French seamen, in endeavouring to save the lives of-the
crew, not only failed in their generous attempt, but were
All drowned. This matter has been commented on in
the City, and it is thought that some testimony to the
gallant exertions of these brave Frenchmen—perhaps
some allowance to their bereaved families by the -British
Government—would not be more than equitable. An
occurrence of about two years ago has been called to-
Mind in reference to this subject, on which occasion
the King of Holland evinced a most laudable apprecia-
tion of similar services. A Dutch panket -boat was
wrecked one stormy night near Harlingen, and although
the cries of the passengers were heard on shore, none
of the Dutch sailors dared to venture out. Captain D.
Charrosin, who commanded the British merchant
schooner the Northam, volunteered, with his mate and
four men, to reach the wreck in his own ship-boat,
and with great difficulty succeeded in rescuing nine of
the persons on board. The conduct of the Dutch on this
occasion was most liberal ; the King presented the Cap
Lain and mate each with a gold medal, and each of the
crew with a silver one, which, it should be remarked,
they preferred to any pecuniary gratuity, the city of
Harlingen presented the Captain with a silver-gilt cup,
and the city of Rotterdam with a gold medal. It is
most probable that the case -of the French sailors has
not yet been sufficiently thought of; or surely some tes-
timony of their conduct would have been given to
thetheir families by the Government, or, at any rate, by
Committee at Lloyd's ; and when it really meets
with the attention it deserves, it is certain that we shall
not be allowed to remain in disadvantageous contrast
with the Dutch by slighting endeavours to save the live*
Of our countrymen.
CHRONICLE.—The rumour upon 'Change was that
the heaviness in the English Funds was occasioned by
en, impression that Sir Robert Peel was to propose a
sweeping property tax of three per cent. on fixed capital
ndfuncled- property, having been driven to this course
by the agricultural interests in the Cabinet, who have
agreed to support it in place of any change in the Corn-
laws. We have a shrew guess that this report originated
in Markdane ; at all events, it is calculated to improve
the price of foreign corn in bond, now at a low 'figure,
from a dread of the expected alterations. The same
report was current on the Stock Exchange, and gene-
rally throughout, the city this afternoon.
In consequence of the publication of Lord Canning's
recent letters regarding the duration of our treaty with
Brazil, a party connected with that country addressed
a communication to the Brazilian Minister at our Court,
inquiring whether the Government of Brazil, who at
first contested our interpretation of the treaty, had now
acceded thereto. as might be inferred from the letters
which Lord Canning wrote by order of the Earl of
Aberdeen. The Brazilian Minister has given the answer
we publish below, from which it will be seen that the two
Governments are not yet come to a satisfactory under
standing on that subject :_--

' " Brazilian Legation, Jan. 24, 1842.
" Sir—ln the letter which you did me the honour to
address to me under yesterday's date, you state that, in
consequence of several parties connected with Brazil en-
tertaining doubts as to the acquiescence of the Imperial
Government in the opinion of that of Great Britain with
respect to the duration of the treaty of 1827, you would
wish to be informed, should no obstacles interpose, what
are my views on the subject..
" I hasten to apprise you, in reply to your said let-
ter, that, in opposition to the communications to which
you refer, both my predecessor and myself have always
declared that the Government of his Imperial Majesty
had resolved to abide by the definite clause of the 28th
article of the treaty between the two countries ; that is
to say, to the clause peremptorily stipulating the term
of fifteen years for its duration, and consequently that,
as the faculty of the prolongation of the treaty, to which
allusion is made in the same article, was thereby ren-
dered of none effect, we have always maintained that
the treaty of 1827 will expire in the current year 1842.

BAIL COURT, Jan. 28.
EX PARTE THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. TALBOT, on behalf of the Great Western Railway
Company, applied for a certiorari directed to Mr. James
May, the Coroner of Berkshire, to return into this Court
the inquisition held by him on the body of Charles Wil-
liams, at Sonning, on 27th Dec. last, in order that the
said inquisition might be quashed. The person on whose
body the inquest had been held was one of those unfor-
tunate persons who had been killed in consequence of
the dreadful accident which had happened on the Great
Western Railway in consequence of the slip in the Son-
ning cutting on 25th Dec. last. An inquisition had
been held on the body, and the Jury had returned a
verdict of accidental death with a deodand of 1,0001. on
the engine. Now, upon the face of the inquisition, it
did not appear that the coroner had any jurisdiction; on
that ground alone, he apprehended he was entitled to
his rule, but there were several other grounds of objec-
tion to the inquisition, which he contended was bad upon
the face of it. —Rule nisi granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE GREAT WBSTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY.
Mr. TALBOT again applied for a certiorari to return
into this Court the inquisition held by the Coroner of
Reading, on the body of Richard Woolley, at Reading,
who had also met with his death in consequence of the
accident at Sonning, but who before his death had been
removed to Reading. In this case it appeared that there
was a deficiency of jurisdiction on the part of the
Coroner.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, as the. case was a doubtful
one, referred the Learned Counsel to the full Count.
Mr. Justice Williams having left the Court to attend
the Nisi Prius sitting in the City, Mr. Justice Wightman
took his Lordship's place.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
PEEL AND ANOTHER V. HOWARD AND ANOTHER.
Mr. GODSON, on the part of Colonel Howard, the de-
fendant in the above cause, applied for a rule
nisi to set aside an award of arbitration in
this case, on the ground that the arbitrator had
exceeded his power. It appeared that Mr. William
Yates. Peel was the proprietor of certain. mills,
called. the Alder Mills, situated on the river
Thame, in the neighbourhood of Tamworth, and that
Colonel Howard was the proprietor of certain islands and
osier-beds higher up the river. These osier-beds had it
was alleged increased to such an extent that they materially
lessened the water-power of the mills. It had been
agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, the arbitrator
having the power to make experiments, and to order
the removal of any such parts of islands as had been
newly formed, which might interfere with the water
power of Alder Mills. Under this power the arbitrator
had proceeded to remove many islands entirely, which
had existed before the memory of man ; others
which had existed for years before Mr. Peel had pur-
chased Alder Mills, and one on which oaks were actually
growing, which had been there for years. He there-
fore contended, that the arbitrator had exceeded his au-
thority, and on that ground prayed for a rule nisi.
Rule nisi granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF MIDDLESEX.
In this case, in which Mr. ADDISON had the other day
obtained a rule nisi, calling upon the Justices of Middle-
sex to amend their return to a certiorari which had been
obtained in the case of a man named Long, whose appeal
against the decision of certain Justices refusing him
a publican's licence, had been dismissed by the Quarter
Sessions, subject to a special case, all mention of which
special case had been omitted in the return to the
certiorari.

The COURT, after hearing Mr. Bodkin on the other
side, directed the rule lo be made absolute, and the spe-
cial case to be returned.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 23.
JEWISON V. DYSON.
Lord ABINGER on entering the Court this morning
proceeded to give judgment in this case, which had been
for several days argued before their Lordships. The
question he said was, whether the words of the charter
creating the Duchy of Lancaster were sufficient to give
a right to appoint a person to perform the duties of Co-
roner within the Duchy. It was clear from the words of
the charter that it was intended that such a power should
be given. He would not enter upon that occasion into
the question, whether the office of Coroner was or was
not a judicial one—he was not inclined to think it could
be strictly said that it was such an office—but in any
case there was no reason, in his opinion, for saying that
the Crown could not delegate its right to another party
to discharge the duties of a Coroner; and the words of
the charter appeared to him to be sufficient to justify
such an appointment. It had been observed by the Coun-
sel for the defendant that the statute 28th Edward 111.
invested freeholders of counties with a right to appoint
coroners. But that statute had been passed subsequently
to the charter establishing the Duchy of Lancaster, and
it could not consequently affect it. There was certainly,
as had been stated, a want of judicial proof that the
Crown had ever appointed a coroner in the Duchy. But
that was not to be wondered at, considering how very
negligently the records of the Duchy had, at least until
a very recent period, been kept. Those records were,
as he had occasion to know, scattered about. Some of
them were to be found in the Court of Chancery, some
in the Court of Exchequer, and there were others which
were not perhaps traceable at all. It appeared to him,
therefore, that there had been nothing adduced in the
arguments for the defence, to invalidate the appointment
made by the Crown in right of the Duchy of Lancaster;
and under these circumstances, seeing that the words of
the charter were sufficient to invest the Duke of Lancas-
ter with the right to appoint coroners, aura mat such a
right had vested in the Crown at the time the charter
had been framed, he was of opinion that they could not
disturb the verdict of the Jury, and they should there-
fore discharge the rule.
The other Judges concurred in opinion with the
Chief Baron.

nuities, in consequence of having received a written
order from him. Witness identified the prisoner as
Robert Bamford, sen., and signed the bank book at the
time of the transfer to that effect, and paid the prisoner
with a cheque for the amount, deducting commission,
which cheque the prisoner endorsed. The prisoner had
represented himself to witness as Robert Bamford, sen.
Mr. Clarkson commented upon the very loose mode
of doing bank business. He did not mean to cast the
slightest imputation upon Mr. Mullins, whose character
was far above all suspicion ; but if greater care were
taken by brokers, who, he believed, were indulged in
the inaccurate course they generally adopted by the
great Corporation of the Bank, such a case as the present
could not have occurred. Mr. Mullins had certified in
the Bank book that the prisoner was one of the parties
in whose name the stock stood, without having taken the
necessary means to ascertain the fact. Such a course,
it was evident, was calculated to facilitate many great
frauds.
Mr. Mullins said that he had known the prisoner for
some years without knowing his name, but he did not,
for an instant, suspect that the prisoner was not Robert
Bamford, sen., as he had represented himself.
The LORD MAYOR agreed with Mr. Clarkson that the
practice ,was a very loose one, and, also, that Mr. Mul-
lins's character stood too high to be affected by what
had taken place.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
ROBBING AN EMPLOYER. —Mapp, who was charged
-on Saturday week upon suspicion of having robbed
his master, Mr. Bousfield, of the Minories, to the
amount of between 65/. and 701., by means of a Picklock
key, was brought up for re-examination. The prisoner
had, it will be recollected, left the warehouse at an early
hour before the clerk arrived, and did not return to his
employment, and Daniel Forrester, upon being sent for
by the prosecutor, took immediate measures to pounce
upon the prisoner, in whose possession he found a great
number of sovereigns and a skeleton key, which unlocked
the safe in which the money had been deposited, consist-
ing of sovereigns and a Si. note.
Benjamin Pixie, a porter, stated that the prisoner,
whom he knew, got change f a 5/. note from the land-
lord of the Fountain public-house in Foster-lane, in his
presence, and afterwards procured money orders at the
Post-office for two 51. notes. The prisoner had a watch
in his jacket-pocket, and more money, and witness ob-
served him to be intoxicated, although known to be a
close-fisted steady young man.—Remanded.
B 0 W-STI?EET.
On Friday Michael Haydon, 465 of the City Police,
was summoned before Mr. Jardine by William Crispin,
a constable employed by the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests, for having, on the 24th inst., unlawfully
molested and interrupted the free passage of persons
passing through the enclosure of St. James's Park. He
was also charged with assaulting the complainant in the
execution of his duty.
The complainant stated that on Monday last, when
the gates were closed at half-past four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, he was engaged with others in clearing the park
of persons who were skating. He was in uniform at
t'ie time, and shortly before five o'clock, having come to
the defendant, who had been amusing himself the entire
afternoon, he gave him warning to quit, when he said he
had been called on before other persons, and refuSed to
go away until he wished, for he was a policeman. Wit-
ness went to move him, and he threatened to knock him
down with his staff, at the same time going ashore.
Witness insisted on his leaving the park, and upon tak-
ing hold of him by the collar, he said that witness was
his prisoner, which caused witness to draw his staff
also. A crowd having collected and the ice beginning to
crack from the weight, witness jumped off, and the defen-
dant said, " You white-livered —, I shall follow you."
Several ofethe icemen and the men employed by the
Humane Society, who had been employed with ropes in
clearing the ice, corroborated the greater part of the
statement made by the complainant.
The defendant said that three-fourths of the complaint
made against him was false, for when the trumpet
sounded he took off his skates, and while sliding near
the shore to warm his feet. the complainant, attempted to
push him ashore, insisting to drive him away. Consider-
ing he was selected above others, he reasoned with the
complainant as to the impropriety of his conduct, when
he drew his staff, but he said there was no necessity to
use his authority, as he might take his number, and
could get redress in another way, which seemed not to
satisfy him, for the complainant instantly collared him ;
and several persons, who had given their address, were
in attendance to give evidence. In consequence of the
violence used, when he (defendant) had gone away, the
mob attacked the complainant, and pelted him with
brick-bats and other missiles. •
The defendant then called three witnesses to support
his statement ; but they prevaricated in several of the
principal points.
Mr. JARDINE considered the defendant had behaved
very ill, and the weight of evidence was entirely against
him. He should order him to pay a fine of 31. for the
assault, and in default be committed for three weeks.
Mr. JARDINE also said he would represent the matter
to the City Commissioner, who would, no doubt, use his
discretion in what course he thought proper to pursue.
MARYLEBONE.
On Friday Lawrence Lutridge, a painter and glazier,
residing in Petty's-court, Han way-street, Oxford-street,
was brought before Mr. LONG, on a warrant placed in
the hands of Whip, the officer, charging him with hav-
ing committed a rape upon Jane Keep, a married woman,
who, with her husband, occupies apartments in the house
of which the prisoner is the landlord.
_ Mr. Wolff_attended for the
—'The prosecutrix, who is only 22 years of age, stated
that on Wednesday morning last she returned home from
market, about 11 o'clock, and on passing up stairs she
saw the prisoner standing at his door, which was upon
the second floor ; he had in his hand some artificial
flowers, which he showed to her, and asked her if she
did not think them very pretty, at the same time saying,
"If you like I'll buy you some." She made no observa-
tion to him, and in an instant he threw the flowers from
him, when he laid hold of her, and, notwithstanding her
resistance, committed the offence. In reply to the Ma-
gistrate, the prosecutrix said, there was no one in the
house but the prisoner and myself when this hap-
pened ; I struggled with him as much as I could, and
as I was about to leave the room, he said he hoped
I would not tell my husband, and promised faith-
fully not to insult me again. I then went up
stairs. At twelve o'clock my husband returned home,
when he found me crying, and I told him what had hap-
pened, and that I should leave the house. In the course
of twenty minutes the prisoner came in, when my hus-
band, who was in a great rage, went down to him and
charged him with the offence, which he denied.
Thomas Keep, the husband, corroborated the evidence
of his wife with regard to the statement which she made
to him, and his subsequent interview with the prisoner.
The prisoner alleged that whatever he had done was with
her own consent. My wife has never told me that he had
ever been guilty of any improper familiarity until last
Wednesday, and she then said that he had twice before
put his hand upon her shoulder.
Mr. LONG committed the prisoner for trial.

STATE OF TRADE AT DUNDEE.—We make
no alterations in our quotations this week, but prices of
the raw material are on the whole firmer, and we would
say looking up. Linen yarns still go off pretty freely,
but no advance has been obtained in prices. Tow yarns
are firm, and our spinners are endeavouring to obtain an
advance, which on some fine qualities has been con-
ceded. In linens we have had no great business doing ;
but as the manufacturers have reduced the production,
stocks do not accumulate very much. The advises from
Riga state that at the 13th instant the market had be-
come firmer, and the respectable dealers declined to sell
under Ho. 30 for P.T.R., sorts in proportion. From
Archangel the dates are to the 29th ultimo. Nothing
had been done in flax, but some contracts had been made
for first and second tow at Ho. 20, and Ito. 16, or 241. 6s.
and 20/. per ton.—Dundee Chronicle.
SEASONABLE RELIEZ TO THE Poon.--On
Friday the Committee appointed by the parishioners
of St. James's, Westminster, to collect subscriptions for
the relief of the distressed poor, distributed at the work-
house in Poland-street, 600 pints of nutritious soup, 500
quartern loaves, and as many tickets entitling the hold-
ers to a certain quantity of potatoes and coals, according
to the number of each family, which they are to receive
at the shops of the dealers in the parish, who contract
with the Coinmittee to supply the same. Upwards of
6001. has been already subscribed, an amount which will
probably be doubled; and a vast amount of distress will
be relieved. The contributions of the benevolent are
distributed in the most
,judicious manner by the church-
wardens and overseers, who, aided by the other officers
of the parish, have taken care to prevent any imposition
on this charitable fund.
FATAL DUEL AT MARSEILLES.—We learn
from Marseilles that Commandant Arrighi, who was shot
in the duel-by General Levasseur, was buried on the
19th inst., without any funeral service, and the ceremony
was attended by only the private friends of the deceased.
The Sud Of Marseilles furnishes us with the following
farther details of the duel:—" On learning what was in
agitation, a part of the General's family 'Set out to join
him. Hearin..' of their approaching arrival, the General
determined to bring the atfair to a conclusion, and make
known to M. Arrighi that he acceded to his terms, and
would appoint two new seconds, who would not refuse
going out with him. Evading the vigilance of the police,
the parties took the road to Aix, and assembled at a
country house near Boue. A place so near the road
might have been easily discovered, but the police,
who had traced the combatants, stopped at the limits
of their jurisdiction, thus reducing a question of hu-
manity to one of competency. General Lavasseur was
first on the ground, having started without his breakfast,
and finding the farmer of the estate at his meal, partook
of it. M. Arrighi came up, and, without a word being
interchanged between the two adversaries, the ground
was ordered to be measured. The second, who under.
took this office, appeared to take too long steps, and M.
Arrighi desired that the measurement should be made
anew, and by only two-foot lengths for each step. Even
with this he was dissatisfied, and he had the distance
marked a third time by a second whose foot was shorter.
This being done, the written terms of the meeting were
exchanged, and one of the seconds tossed up a piece of
money for the first fire. It turned in favour of General
Levasseur, and in a moment after M. Arrighi was struck
on the arm and in the breast. He made a faint attempt
to return the fire, but st xggered—the blood gushed from
his mouth, and he fell dead."
MELANCHOLY DEA TH.--On Friday an in-
quest was taken by Mr. Baker at the London Hospital,
on the body of Mr. C. Linos, aged 25, the well-known
coach-builder and proprietor, of Blackfriars-road. Mr.
Arthur Macnamara, of Chelmsford, stated that he had
known deceased several years. Be was married and had
one child. For the last few months he had been in a
declining state of health, and three months back he had
the advice of Sir J. Clark, who advised him to go into
Devonshire. He bad not been gone there than three
weeks when, hearing that his father had taken pos-
session of his
_premises, he came hick again. At an
interview his father wisned him to sign a deed as-
signing the whole of the r roperty over to him, but
he refused without first get Ling his wife's consent.

ditors and allow him 1/. per N veek during life. The
deceased, however, would not cwisent unless the father
agreed to continue that sum per week to his wife
aftee his death, which the father would not do. Three
weeks back deceased with his wife went to live at Lewis-

dreadfully agitated, am.' at his request he procured him
apartments at No. 1, hTereford-terrace, Whitechapel-

proposition of Dr. Wilson, to protect the patients from ABERYSTWYTH, JAN. 27.—1 beg to acquaint you of a
cold air.
most awful hurricane -nlich took place here yesterday
evening, the wind varying from south-west to north-
west. It gradually increased until seven o'clock, when
breaking of windows, chimneys tumbling down, as
well as the best part of the roofs of several houses,
went on at an awful rate. Early this morning I per-
ceived from the Castle walks two vessels, and with the
aid of a glass could perceive that one was a steamer,
and the other a schooner, beating up before the
[wind. In the meantime pilots, at a great risk, in
consequence of a heavy ground swell, succeeded
in getting on board both the vessels, which are
now safely lodged in our harbour. The steamer
in question is the Shamrock, of Bristol, plying
between Dublin and that place. She left Dublin about
11 a.m. on Tuesday last, but when she had sailed about
nine hours her larboard paddle became useless ; they,
however, continued on their passage until they
obtained a view of the Bishops, when the Cap-
tain gave up, and they were obliged to go where the
wind took them, and during the gale of yesterday
were obliged to throw 80 pigs over board, pigs
being the principal part of her cargo—I believe altoge-
ther about 600—many of which I have witnessed this
day dead, and many more likely to die by the morning;
a great number have been bought and taken into the
different parts of the neighbourhood. The vessel appa-
rently seems little injured, and they imagine that on
Tuesday next she will sail again for Bristol. There
were no human lives lost. The schooner's name is Age-
noria, of Wexford, with oats, from that place, I believe,
to Bristol, but atn not She received no damage
with the exception of a sail or two.

PROCEEDINGS AT WINDSOR.
WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—This morning an inspection took
place in the Home Park of the Royal Regiment of Horse
Guards (Blue), commanded by Colonel Smith, and the
11th, or Prince Albert's Own Hussars, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, three
companies of the 72d Highlanders keeping the ground.
The various evolutions, from advancing in line, taking
ground, and retirement in alternate squadrons, to their
echellon movements, the recal of skirmishers, the attack,
deploying into line, and re-advancing in parade order,
were executed with an alacrity and exactitude which
astonished the most initiated beholder.
Her Majesty the Queen was on the terrace so early as
a quarter to ten o'clock, accompanied by his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert (who was dressed in the Colonel's
uniform of the 11th Hussars), his Majesty the King of
Prussia, the Duke of Wellingtoq, the suite of his Prus-
sian Majesty, and various other distinguished officers.
Her Majesty wore a rich purple silk velvet cloak deeply
trimmed with fur, and seemed to take great delight in
the spectacle.
Her Majesty the Queen, with his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, afterwards presented herself at the
southern window of the Queen's boudoir, where, on being
recognised by the assembled populace, both illustriOns
personages were loudly cheered.
The young Prince was also shown, dandled in the
nurse's arms, at an upper window, eliciting unbounded
applause. The inspection lasted from a quarter to ten
till half-past eleven.
His Majesty the King of Prussia, at a quarter to
twelve, left Windsor for Slough,
_proceeding thence by
the Great Western Railway to London, for the purpose
of visiting some of the public buildings, and lunching, as
lam given to understand, with Sir Robert Peel. His
Majesty returned to Windsor at a few minutes after six.
His Majesty is expected to go to town again to, morrow,
returning to the Castle in the afternoon to dinner.
His Majesty will dine with the Duke of Sutherland
on Monday ; with his Grace the Duke of Wellington on
Tuesday; and with his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge on Wednesday, it being his Majesty's inten-
tion immediately afterwards to leave this country, via
Dover. His Majesty will attend the two national
theatres on Monday and Tuesday, and the afterpieces,
as I learn, have been requested to be performed first, in
order that his Majesty may have the opportunity of wit-
nessing the performance of two of Shakspeare's plays.
The following is an exact list of the guests enter-
tained at the Castle this evening by her Majesty the
Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert :—His
Majesty the King of Prussia, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, Princes Ferdinand, Augustus, and
Leopold of Saxe Coburg, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lady
Lyttelton, Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon. Miss Paget,
the Hon. Miss Liddell, Baroness Lehzen, the Duke and
Duchess of Buckingham and Lady Anne Grenville, the
Marquis of Exeter, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl and
Countess Delawarr and Lady Elizabeth West, the Earl
of Jersey, Baron and Baroness Bunsen, the Earl of
Aberdeen, the Earl and Countess of Haddington, the
Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Lord Fitzroy Somer-
set, the Earl and Countess of Westmorland, the suite
of his Majesty the King of Prussia, the Marquis of Or-
monde, the Hon. W. Hood, Lord Charles Wellesley,
Lieutenant-Colonel Bouverie, Captain Seymour, Dr.
Prwtorius, the *Hon. C. A. Murray, Earl and Countess
of Home, Lady and the Hon. Miss Montagu, General
and Lady Isabella Wemyss, the Earl of Cardigan, the
Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Anson, the lion. Sarah Mary Ca-
vendish, Colonel Richardson, Lieutenant-Colonel Smitli,
Lieutenant-Colonel Rotton.

The ball at the Town-hall, in celebration of the chris-
tening of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, was
most numerously attended ; upwards of 240 were pre-
sent, amongst whom were all the principal families of
the town and its immediate neighbourhood. The Hall
was tastefully decorated, a magnificent gas illumination
in front designating the occasion. Mr. Adams's band
attended and played some favourite waltzes, quadrilles,
&c., with great spirit during the evening. Amongst the
company present we noticed Mr. Ralph Neville M.P. ;
Mrs. Admiral Byrne ; Colonels Richardson and 'Smith ;
Major Trent ; Captains Tyrell, Beauchamp, Corbet,
and Lord St. Maur, of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) ;
Captains Lord Balfour, Cole, Logan, and M`Kenzie, of
the 72d Highlanders ; several officers of the 13th Light
Dragoons, now quartered in the neighbourhood ; the
Mayor, Mr. Ward and family, Captain Bulkeley and
family, Mr. Kindall and family, Mr. Onslow Seeker and
family, the Town-clerk, Mr. R. Blunt, Mr. R. Tz•bbotta
Mr. J. Banister, and the Magistrates of the borough.
The dancing was kept up with great spirit until seven
o'clock in the morning.
A grand concert is this evening given at the theatre,
in celebration of the christening of the infant Prince,
and in aid of the fund for building a room for the Mutual
Improvement Society. The house is so completely cram-
med. that many applications for box tickets (to the
amount of at least 100) have been refused.
The good people of Windsor seem determinqd to give
all the eclat they can to this occasion, as it is well known
that no performance of a musical character has, for years,
succeeded in this place, although under the most favour-
able auspices, and supported by first-rate talent.
