NEW ZEALAND

The Mexican mail has brought letters vid Panama, the
dates from Wellington being the 4th Aug. The Governor,
with all the disposable troops, was, at the time the ac-
count left, engaged with the insurgent natives, and no
doubt was entertained that the attack would have a suc-
cessful result. The Ralph Bernal had arrived at Wash-
ington on the 15th July, and would load for London im-
mediately on her return from Auckland. The whale
fishery has been very successful, and it was expected
there would be sufficient oil to form three ships' cargoes
for London.

BATSWING CANDLES.
PALMER AND CO.'S BATSWING MOULD
CANDLES, Six to the Pound, burn with a brilliant white
flame, do not require snuffing, and one gives as much light as
two ordinary moulds. They consume slowly, may he used in
candlesticks, or in the candle lamps, and are hard enough to
resist the influence of warm rooms or hot climates. Price 9d.
per pound.
OCTAVE,, CANDLES.
These Candles are eight to the lb., require no snuffing, and
give the light of two common candles. Being thinner than the
BatswinF, they are especially adapted for the use of artizans,
mechanics, dressmakers, joiners, shoemakers, and all that
portion of the community who need a good light at a very small
cost. Price Bd. per lb. Sold retail by all Grocers and Candle-
dealers, and wholesale by

MANSLAUGHTER.

John Guy, 20, stood indicted, upon a coroner's inquisi-
tion, for having, on the 21st of September last, at Liver-
pool, with force and arms, feloniously killed and slain
James I‘l'Conville Laird. His lordship stated that, in
this case, the grand jury had thrown out the bill sent be-
fore them. The prisoner was acquitted.
The trial of the men charged with the conspiracy at
Newton, seventeen in number, was postponed until the
next assizes. They are charged with a conspiracy in
having placed men in the neighbourhood of certain works
for the purpose of preventing others from getting em-
ployment there.
This concluded the business of this court, which closed
at one o'clock, and his lordship left by the express train
for London.

VIADUCTS AND OTHER RAILWAY WORK.
THE attention of RAILWAY ENGINEERS, AR-
CHITECTS, and CONTRACTORS, is particularly directed
to the great advantages to be derived from the application of
SEYSSEL ASEHALTE, as the only impervious and permanent
Covering for Arches and Roofs, and Lining of Reservoirs,
Gutters, &c,
The arrangements of CLARIDGE'S PATENT ASPIIALTE COM-
PANY epable it to execute Works of any extent with the great-
est promptitude.
In order to guard against the use of spurious materials, it is
important that all applications for Works to be executed, be
made direct to this Company ; andas a further protection, it
is suggested that Engineers, Architects, and Contractors should
require a CERTIFICATE-from the ompany that the proper
description of material has been used.
Information may be obtained as to all Works which have
been executed by the Company since its establishment in 1838
which will prove that the failure of many Works represented
to have been done with the genuine material, has resulted from
the substitution of a spurious one.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY,

Primest Beasts were sold from 4s 2d to 4s 6d per Slb., and a
fair clearance effected.

The numbers of Sheep were somewhat large for the Christmas
market. The primest old Downs commanded a steady sale at
prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, but
all other breeds hang on hand, at barely late rates.

With Calves we were fairly supplied. All kinds of Veal were
a slow sale, at previous currencies.
Prime small Pigs moved off steadily; other quantities of
Pork, slowly, at last week's prices.

PORTUGAL,

Intelligence has been received from Portugal, con-
firming the accounts respecting a battle at Chaves, in
the north of the kingdom, on the 6th ult., between the
royal troops under Baron Casal, and the insurgents, to
the number of 2,000, under Sada Bandeira, in which the
latter were routed,—two regiments going over to the
Queen, after firing in the air. This aflair is not likely to
have much influence on the ultimate result of the contest.
Letters from Lisbon, to the 25th ult., state that Mar-
shal Saldanha still remained before Santarem. It was
said that the Junta of Oporto and the Marquis of Louie,
were pressing Das Antas to engage the Queen's troops,
or that otherwise the cause of the revolution was lost.

6999 tons-of ice were exported from Boston between
September 1 and November 11.
The death of M. Michelet, announced lately in most of
the papers, was not that of the historian, but of his father.
The Austrian government forbids every peasant in Gal-
Bela to leave his dwelling after sunset, to hold any com-
munication with his neighbours, or to attend any assem-
blage; and the whole co Intry is militarily occupied.
The Emperor Nicholas has just become a member of
the Russian Yacht Club, and has added to its vessels the
Victoria yacht, built in England. The Grand Duke Con-
stantine has accepted the office of honorary president.
The King of Sweden bad a narrow escape for his life
last week : a madman, named Platen, went to the palace
and demanded an interview with the King. On being
questioned by the chamberlain, he discharged a horse pis-
tol at him, and another at Count Horn, who endeavoured
to arrest him. He was secured, but without damage to
either, and sent to the lunatic asylum.
There has been a new waterfall discovered in the river
St. Louis. This cataract falls into the western part of
Lake Superior, which has never yet been described by
the geographer. It would appear that this new wonder
is second only to the Falls of Niagara. The volume of
water is immense, and the height of the fall is fifty feet.

FASHIONABLE RESTAURANT.—Those who have not yet
visited the. Oriental Divan, Clayton-square, should not
omit an opportutunity, for the arrangements not only
surpass those of.every similar hotel, but the viands are of
the choicest kinds. An excellent steak, cut in the London
style, with all the etceteras, is charged.igel., and it may be
finished with half-Riot of splendid amontillado sherry, or
fine flavoured port, fox one shilling. This is but a single
article, but others are charged.nroportionstely low; in-
deed, so low and so excellent as to have called from the

In fact it will be found that in every department there
is manifested a desire to accommodate the public by the
proprietor, J. Feeny. A supply of London Oysters
received daily, to the delicious flavour of which we can
bear our testimony, having been enabled by the polite-
ness of Mr. Feeny, to put them to the most undeniable

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TIIESDAY.

The Earl of CLARENDON moved for such portions of
the diplomatic correspondence respecting the Oregon
negotiation as the Earl of Aberdeen might think it consis-
tent with the public duty to produce, and inquired what
course the Government intended to pursue in the event of
the American Senate concurring in the twelve months'
notice?

Lord ABERDEEN said he must reserve to himself the
right of withholding a large portion of the correspondence,
because its production, at the present moment, would be
injurious to the public interests. Her Majesty's govern-
ment had no intention at present of calling on Parliament
for an rTinion, and therefore the information sought was
not indispensable. Besides, in the present undecided
state of the negotiation, the production of the whole cor-
respondence might induce an unfavourable opinion as to
the result of the negotiation, for which reason he must also
decline to say what course it was intended to pursue with
respect to the twelve months' notice. He proceeded—
Believing, as I do, tbat war is the greatest calamity that
can befal a nation, and the greatest crime generally that a
nation can commit, every effort consistent with the national
honour will be employed to avert it, without any sacrifice
of honour or of the real interests of the country. But,
my lords, on the other hand, it is certainly possible
(though I would reject the notion) that all our efforts may
be unavailing. In that case I can only say that it will be
my endeavour not only to secure the support and counte-
nance of every one of your lordships, but the sympathy of
every state of Europe, and of the whole civilised world."

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in answer to a question
from the Marquis of Clanricarde, explained that the only
object of the Ad miralty in thelate experiment at Portsmouth
was to show how speedily an advance ship could be got
ready in case of emergency.

YANKEE REPORTING

An idea of the value, in Yankee estimation, of the eter-
nal talk which characterises the proceedings of their Con-
gress, may be formed from the fact that the press of
Washington have ceased reporting the debates, which
arduous task is about to be taken up by the Nfw York
Morning Herald. As a S-ample of the mode in which it
is performed at present, we give the following portionvof
the report of a Mr. Hannegan, in which a speech of pro-
bably. as many hours as there are sentences is thus given :

" He (Mr. H.) said he should proceed to the examination of
the title to Oregon ; for, whatever might be the claims of Great
Britain, she had not the title to an inch of the soil. He took
up at once the task of proving this position. Humboldt, (1582)
Spaniards discovered Oregon, Matte Brian, Quadra, Vancouver,
Cook, Nootka Sound Convention, Meares, Count Florida Blanca,
Fitzherbert, English diplomacy, dreadful swindling, Nootka
Sound Convention—Treaty with France, 1795—Pitt, Fox, &c.
Spain had not surrendeied her sovereignty over an inch of the
soil." . .

.What a vast quantity of paper and composition might
be saved if we could only economise matters, after this fa-
shion, in our own country ! And how easily might we
preserve the character for consistency of some of our
statesmen. For instance, in reporting a speech of Sir
Robert Peel, we might have—" Speech against Catholic
Emancipation, 1828; speech in favour of same, 1829 ;
speech in favour of protection, and against fixeal duty on
corn, 1840; speech against protection, and in favour of
free trade, 1846 ;—speech in favour of sliding scale, 1842 ;
speech against, 1846 ;—speech, in 1842, guaranteeing in-
come tax for three years only; speech in 1845,
imposing
it for three years longer ; and in 1846, imposing it in per.
petuo. A world of tortuous reasoning it would save; and
enable our backsliding Conservatives to ehine out before
the world as paragons of virtue, consistency, and pa-
triotism. What a pity it is that the prurient curiosity of
this world is not content with such notes of debate as serve
the purpose of Brother Jonathan, and resolutely insist
upon short-hand and verbatim reports!.
