MERALD~ , 13, 1843. Case—"r. Butler's Argument— John Duer’s ton~day+ We give our readers ‘o-day, the closing portion of Mr. Butler's great argument in favor of the trial by ury und the right of civil jurisdiction in all high crimes committed on the ocean. No other paper can give this speech at length. The “Evening Herald” to-day will contain the whole of the argu- neut in one sheet—price 2 cents, Mr. John Duer, the counsel for Captain McKenzie, will dehver his argament to-day—in reply to Mr. Butler, and we have no doubt it will be able and powerful—tor however bungling a financier Mr. Daer may be, he isa most able lawyer and eloquent speaker. The Herald to-morrow will contain a full verbatim repert of his speech. Noother paper in New York can give Mr. Duer’s speech so accurately—not even the “Courier” or the ‘‘American,” the special organs of McKenzie ; for in newspaper enterprise the Wall street press cannot begin to compete with us. The friends of Commander McKenzie will learn, therefore, where they cansee his defence best reported, The reports of the speeches of Mr. Griffin, and Mr. O'Connor will follow—and then at tull length, the very important Opinion of Judge Betts to the Grand Jury, which will be looked for with great in- terest and excitement. The friends of McKenzie are confident that Judge Betts willdecide in his favor. We will see—and we will also see the consequences—and what the Grand Jury will do. Let justice be done, though the Wall street press should rave. Srreet CLeantve wirn a Vencrance.—It may be safely said, the streets have not been in such a horrid state of mud and filth for the last twenty years. The ‘*New Contract” is not only subversive of all street decency and convenience, but it has subverted one of the old landmarks aad adages of the wise, thata new broom always sweeps clean. ‘There is only one mode for the new contractors to escape this subversion of the adage, and that is, by boldly confessing, what is probably the fact, that they have got no brooms at all. If thisis the way,and a fairspecimen of the manner, in which the new contractors are going to fulfil their contract for the ensuing five years, why Heaven help ! we shall pray for some deluge, or revolution, or millennium, to sweep over us, and deliver the city; for it will be literally overwhelmed in its own filth before the contract expired, like another Pompeii. As to any description of the present condition of the streets, and it has been the same for the last month, it is quite out of the question. All that need us be said of it is, that it isembalmed inits own mud. As there is avast quantity of ice lying at the bot- tom oi the mud, the city resembles an icehouse, and it is not impessible that the ice will be thus preserved in the very midst of our streets the year round.— There seems at present but little probability that the rays of the sun will ever reach it again. Alderman Balis, Alderman Davies, and ye contracters all, where are ye? Oppression OF Prixters.—We understand that one of the newspaper offices has reduced the wages of labor among its printers. Why so? Itis not enough to shave the public by Jacksonville and all sorts of shinplasters—but the thing is incomplete without shaving the hard working printers. Macaviey’s Miscenuantes.—These beautifully written and very popular essays have just beea pub- lished in acheapform. Also,{Howitt’s Rural Life in Germany. They are for sale at the Herald Lite- rary Depot. Tue Mais.—The closing of the Southern mails yesterday, was delayed till a quarter past 4 o’clock, in order to enable all the South and West to receive the news by the Western. Very good of Col. Gra- ham—let him have due credit. Tus Eventnc.—-Cuirenven’s Concert.—-Mr. Clirehugh, together with the Misses Cumming, re- peat their interesting entertainment of admired Scottish songs this evening at the Apollo. We are glad of this, as it will give an opportunity to a great number to hear them, who were disappointed the other mght in consequence of the great crowd ren- dering it impossible to gain admittance. Tue Park THEatre.—This theatre opens this evening with a new comedy entitled “Mothers and Daughters.” Batt at THE Tivori—In honor of the Indian Chiefs, under the patronage of Gen. Storms. City Intelligence: General Sessions Court Room.—That portion of the public who are compelled to attend the Court of General Sessions, in the Tombs, andthe mem- bers of the court and bar, have been complaining for years of the necessity for the construction of a ven- tilator in the top of the building, to carry off the effluvia that always arises from a crowded court room, and we are pleased to understand that the Common Council thisevening intends to place the matter in the hands of the Police Committee, to be accomplished forthwith. In the meantime, if they ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN, FROM ENGLAND. SEVEN DAYS LATER! Exciting Debates in Parliament—Arrival of the Overland Mail—More tribute from Chi- na—-Further Discussions on the United States—Theatrical News—State of Trade, de. de. Yesterday at 12 o’clock the GreatWestern was an- nounced by telegraph, to be coming up the lower bay. At one o'clock she passed the Battery and in a quarter of an hour she was at her moorings. At half past one we received our numerous files of papers and despatches, and at two o'clock, with a force of forty men and sixty boys, we issued an EXTRA HERALD to the number of many thou- sands long before any other office. Our Extra con- tained nearly four close columns of important news of all kinds. In half an hour after, another office is- sued a sickly Extra ofa column of trash. This isthe way we conduct business at this office. We sold nearly a hundred dollars’ worth of Extras, besides sending to all our daily subscribers and general agents, by the afternoon mails, to the number of seve- ral thousand copies, throughout the whole Union. The excitement on the arrival of the Western, throughout the city, was very great—arising probably from her long delay. It seems that she was eight days between Bristol and Madeira—for further par- ticulars look at the log. Captain Hosken deserves great credit for his seamanship. The Western brings eut fifty passengers, and $750,000 in specie, belonging tothe Messrs. Browns, besides a large quantity not reported—probably $2,- 500,000 in all. The English papers are full of Captain McKenzie’s case. The Guizot ministry has carried the day on Ithe treaties by a majority of 177. The Packet ship South America arrived out on the 10th, the only arrival for a week from this coun- try. No particular change in cotton. Lower qualities only have fallen offa little. Very little is said in the papers of American stocks —but private letters mention a slight advance. The Ashburton Treaty and American affairs are still warmly discussed in Parliament and in the news- papers. Lord Huntingtower’s bankruptcy is still before the Courts in London. Judge Faublanque has delivered a very curious opinion, which we shall publish for the benefit of the court, jury, and bankrupts here, who indicted us most unjustly in the Dey case. We have received important despatches from Queen Victoria, which will throw Colonel Webb imto another fit of patriotism. We shall publish them in a day or two at farthest. The Commercial treaty between Holland and Belgium hasbeen formally ratified. It has never rained, during the memory of man, at Mescow, during the months ot December and Jan- uary. The mortalit; the parish of cent! It is said that no less than 500 persons have been lost in the late gales. For many years there has not been seen so frightful a catalogue of disasters at sea, A letter from Berlin, in the “ Journal du France,” states that the marriage of the Prince Royal of Ha- nover, with the Princess Maria of Altenburgh, is to be solemnized on the 7th of next month. £yTrade in Germany appears to be in a very indif- ferent State. From Brunswick we hear of a most dull fair, and the dealers are praying for the acces- sion of Hanover to the German League. Richard Carlile, the infidel, died yesterday at twenty minutes past four,at his residence Bouverie- street, Fleet street. He was born at Ashburton, De- von, Dee. 8, 1790. The English navy is about being considerably re- duced. The Lords of the Aumiralty have ordered a number of vessels, daily eh irom China and the East Indies, tobe paid off. Lord and Lady Ashburton and family have left their seat, the Grange, inthis county, and are now at their town residence, Bath House, for the sea- son. The Count de Montfort, son of Jerome Bonaparte, has left Marseilles, by sea, for the purpose of succes: sively visiting Spain, England, and the United States of America. It is generally believed in the commercial circles, that the government will propose to do something with the sugar duties, and to regulate the admission of American agricultural produce, through Canada, into British ports upon a more liberal basis. The removal of pews in churches, a measure which has been strongly advocated of late by the Times and other organs of the Puseyites, and sanc- amongst the pauper children in ‘arylebone, London, is sixty per tioned by the Bishop of Norwich, and other dignita- ties of the Anglican church, is being carried into eflect in some parts of the country. Woburn Abbey, the Duke otf Bedford’s seat, has been the scene of splendid festivities. The Duke of Sussex and Mr. Everett _haye been among the guests. The play of ‘ The Follies of a Night,” has been performed with greateclat; Lord John Russell having written the prologue and epilogue. British authority has sustained a new injury atthe Cape of Good Hope, and if appearances are to be wish to add perfect comfort to the public and the court, let them be authorized to remove the gallery entirely, and extend the room the whole distance, including the two small juror rooms on each side; then fill the space so obtained with seats, raised one above the other, and the whole audience can be kept inder the eye offthe court, and all scenes of disorder and confusion will thus be entirely prevented, The gallery is generally oceupied by negroes and worth- less characters. who go there to lounge, and learn how to avoid the meshes of the law, and there are plenty of juror rooms in the south end of the build- ng forall the papers ot the court. Let the gallery be removed forthwith, as soon as an opportunity vill present. Tare Mruter Execrrement.—A Jew, named Mo- ses Torres,who has recently resided in Centre street, near Canal, attempted to destroy his life yes- by swallowing a small quantity of molten ‘that he had melted from some spoons. His mouth, tongue, and throat were severely burned, but not sufficiently to accomplish his intended pur. He was taken to the city prison, and every assistance rendered by Dr. Macomb, From enquiry we learned, that he had been prompted to commit thisrash actfrom apprehension of the destruction of the world by fire in April next, according to Miller’s prophecy, and that the recent appearance of the comet had been the sudden means of urging him to ake his life. pose \TTEME Rare.—A man named Charles Ster- ig, who some years since under the title of Mark athony Sterling, married five different wives with- sort period of each other,and who was tried otto Sing Sing for bigamy, was arrested on arday, charged by Mra. Mary Aun Duley, a fine m English woman, with an intent to commit a on her person on Thursday last in his apartments, at 231 Delancy street. It are, that Mrs. Daley occupied apart- ments Thursday last, while her husband and the wife of Sterling were abseut,he requested her to step into his n the same house with Sterling, and that on room for an instant. When the door, and seizing her, attempted to accomplish his hellish purpese by force. She was thrown upon the floor and choked so severely asto be scarcely able to speak, but prevented the raseal from accom- plishing his object, and finally escaped trom his grasp. The Turk was locked up for tnal. Diep in THE Penrrentiary.—A colored man named John Leonard, aged about 23 years, who had been sent to the penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island, as a vagrant, was found dead in his cell yesterday morn- ing. It was first supposed by the keeper that he had committed suicide by hanging, but a post mortem ex- mination resulted in the Coroner’s jury returning a verdict ot “death from congestion of brain.” Beurauiry.—A man named Francis talcolm, who has resided in the upper part of the ty, was arrested yesterday morning on a charge of pushing his wife into the fire and burning her in such manner that her life isdespaired of. She was sent o the city hospital, Another man named John Whitman, who was in the room at the house of Mal colm at the time the outrage was committed, was \so locked up to await the result of an investiga: entered, he closed SwocKina “mon Councit.—Both Board#of Aldermen meet + alternoon, at § o'clock trusted, the revolt of the Anglo-Dutch emigrants at Natal, which seemed settled, is not so. Some of their race have seized on a new site just beyond the frontier, and have defied British rule ; and the emi- grants at Natal have shown a disposition to abet them Almost every part of the country was visited by a severe storm on the 2d and 3d inst. With the rain and now together, the principal rivers in Scotland were very much swollen. The Clyde came down insuch ample volume on Monday asto submerge to a considerable extent the Green between the bridges, the sheds at the bottom of the north side of the Bromielaw, and the under flats and cellars of many houses on the banks of the river. ‘Tre New Governor or Canapa.—The new Goy- ernor General of Canada, with his family and suite, will leave this country in the Columbia, on the 4th of March; berths have been taken for the accommo- dation of his Excellency. We are happy in making this announcement, as showing the wishes of gov- ernment in taking advantage of the speediest and most regular means of crossing the Atlantic. Bank oy Exotanp.—Quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of Eng- land, fromthe 5th day of November, 1882, to the 2th’ day of January, 1843, both inclusive, published pursuant to the Act3and4 William 1V.c. 98; LIABILITIES. a Circulation, — £19,842,000 S.cnnities, 11,672,000 Deposits 10,417,000 Bullion, 10,706,000 £20,769,000 £32,377,000 Downing street, 2d February, 1843. The present session of Parliament, young as it is, has been marked by more than ordinary attention to transatlantic affairs. On the first night, the boun- dary question brought the United States prominently underdiscussion. In the lower house, Sir Robert Peel delivered an important speech relative to the misunderstanding between the cabinet of Washing- ton and his own, arising out of the ‘right of visit” question. Lord Brougham, in the upper house, de- livered a long and eloquent speech, in which the U. States figured conspicuously. It will be memora- ble ia after times, by his emphatic declaration in allusion to the boundary line with this country— **Weleome! Take it all! Give it up! Give me peace between America and England!” All this the Acadia conveyed across the Atlantic. The Great Western carries out two important debates respecting Canada, and a speech more immediately referring to the United States and France, made by Lord Brougham, in reply to M. Dupin, in the Cham- ber of Deputies,which though containing nothing ab- solutely new, yet puts the right of search negotiations betweeen England and America in 1824 in a striking, correct light. ‘The discussion respecting the amnes- ty for political offenders in Canada, and the motion of Mr. Labouchere, tor admitting Canadian wheat into Eagland, on the terms held out by Lord Stan- ley m his Hoepaich,cunnot fail to excite deep inter- est in that colony. Mr. Roebuck’s motion for the sons who suffered. trans; vardon of the per- suff portation during "the late outbreak in Canada, was not received with much favor by the house. It was strongly opposed by Lord Stanley, and condemned by Mr. Charles Bul- ler, who accompanied Lord Durham to Canada. Mr. Roebuck paid Sir Robert Peel some handsome compliments for introducing responsible govern- ment into the colony, throagh the instramentality of Sir Charles Bagot; and he paid the French Ca- nadiansa variety of compliments at the expense of the citizens of the United States. The disenssion selatrestan importiat qnestion, raised in Canada as well as at home, which has given birth to a good deal of discussion, and a variety of opinions — namely, whether Sir Charl ot was cord: supported by the Imperial ee OR OR French party to office. Lord Stanley declared em. phatically, in the course of the p Ren ang that be was supported in doing so, and that the Go- vernor’s conciliatory policy wag the result ot the instructions given to him before Bo- ing out. But the “fiery Tybalt”—a nick- name, edmirably illustrative of the Colonial Se- @etary’s constitutional petulance—while praising the virtues of conciliation, gave a practical proof of the contemptin which he held it personally, by working himself into a rage at the indiscretion of Mr. Roebuck, in asking an amnesty forthe expa- triated Canadians. 4 The “ Ashburton capitulation,” as it is phresed here by the leading organs of the Jate government, as been again brought prominently belore the pub he during the last few days, by @ postscript to the pamphlet of Mr. Featheretonhaugh, one ot the com- missioners who surveyed the northeast boundary on behalf of the Briush government. After quoting the speech of Mr- Rives, in the secret session of the Senate, pending the negotiations relative to the trea- ty, as also the letterof Dr. Franklin, and all the de- tails about the map _with the “* strong red line,” as discovered by Mr. Sparks, in the Bureau Topogre phique, at Paris, Mr. Featherstonhaugh proceeds to argue—that, as these facts were made knowato Mr Webster, who kept Lord Ashburton in ignorance of them—ergo, the British Plenipotentiary has been overreached and cheated by the American Secreta- ty. The leading London journals, taking their cue from this statement, baveioined in the hue and ery against Mr. Webster, in the same spirit with whicl a police officer hangs upon the footsteps of a pro- fessional thimble-rigger, or a member of the & mob. Mr. Webster evidently, in their belief, illus- trates the force of Pope’s couplet— The same ambition can destroy or save, And mskes a patriot as it makes a knave. Parliamentary, House or Commons, Fes. 9.—American Bounna- ry.—Lord_ Palmerston gave notice that he should pesrnons his motion on the subject of the American ‘oundary from Tuesday the 2st instant to Thursday the 23d. House or Lorps,Feb. 9.—Tue Wasnincton Trea- ty.—Lord Cambell wished can @ question to the government, which they would have no difficulty in maarerings which was, whether they intended to introduce a bill into Parliament for the purpose of carrying out the 10th article of the treaty of Wash- ington, an article which he highly approved. It was respecting the ‘delivering up of persons who had committed crimes ia England or America. Unless a bill were introduced that article would be use- less in this country, as, by the common law of the land, no person could be nee up. Lord Ashburtonfsaid that although he was not so well acquainted with the law as the Noble Lord, pa he knew very well that unless an act of Parliament was passed, the 1@th sec- tion of that treaty would be useless. He had written to the American en stating this; therefore there was no doubt but her Majesty’s government intended to introduce an act for the purpose of carrying out that article. Altheugh it required an act in this country, in America it did not. Canapian Wueat.—Mr. Charles Wood, in the absence of Mr. Labouchere, moved for copies orex- tracts of any communications which have taken place between her Majesty’s Government and the authorities of Canada, respecting the duties levied on wheat imperted from the United States into Cana- da, or from Canada inte the United Kingdom, since the Ist day of ey a 2 E Lord Stanley acceded to the motion, as it would enable the house hereafter to enter on the proper consideration of the subject. Mr. Villiers, Mr. M. Gibson, and Mr. Ewart press- ed Lord Stanley to say, whether or not, the govern- ment intended to bring in a measure this session to alter the scale of duty on the introduction ef colo- nial grain. But the noble lord declined to do so, until the papers were before the house. Dr. Sovrngy.—The following extract of a letter from Mrs. Southey (formerly so well known as Caroline Bowles) to Mrs. Sigourney, gives a la- mentable picture of the present state of this distin- auied man, the poet Laureate of Englan You lesire to be remembered to him who sang ‘ ot Tha- laba, the wild and wondroustale.’ Alas ' my friend, the dull, cold ear of death isnot more insensible than his, my dearest husband’s, to all communications from the world without. Searcely can I keep hold of the last poor comfort of believing that he still knows me. The almost complete unconsciousness has not been of more than six months’ standing, though more than two years have elapsed since he has written even his name. After the death of his first wife, ‘ Edith,’ of his first love, who was for se- yeral years insane, his health was terribly shaken. Yet for the greater part of a year that he spent with me in Hampshire, my former home, it seemed per- fectly re-established ; and he used to say, ‘it had surely pleased God that the last years of his life should be happy.’ But the Almighty’s will was otherwise. The little cloud soon appeared, which was in no long time to overshadow all. In the blackness of its shadow we still live, and shall pass from under it only through the portals of the grave. The last three years have done on me the work of twenty. The one sole business of my life is that, which I verily believe keeps the life in me, the uardianship of my dear, helpless, unconscious hus- ant Watchman.” Reviva, or tHE Arrican Stave Trapg.—An atrocious case of kidnapping on the western coast of Africa has just been brought to light. A British- born subject, who had served under Colonel Nicoll’s command at Fernando Po for several years, hasbeen seized by the notorious pirate and slave dealer, Pe- dro Blanco, and, with a cargo of 340 slaves, trans- ported to Cuba, where, notwithstanding his rem on- strances, he was sold into slavery. Fortunately, the fluency with which he spoke English, attracted the attention of an English family, through whom he gained access to the ear of the British Consul, and eventually obtained his release. He has arrived in this country ina state of great destitution; but his case having been made known to the Admiralty by Colone! Nicolls, directions have been given to take care of him till he can besent back to Africa. It will now be seen, whether such an outrage as this can be committed in defiance of British law and British power with impunity; whether the present government of this country 1s able to extend its pro- tection to the Queen’s subjects in its own colonial possessions, and, if able, willing to protect them, though aay of an African skin. Unhappily, the miscreant Blanco is not only well knownas a whole- sale slave dealer, but also as a large and profitable customer of a certain London mercantile firm; whose influence, itis to be feared, will be exerted to screen their infamous accomplice from punish- ment.—Patriot. Tur Late Awrut Gatrs.—The sacrifice of life and property at sea during the last six weeks has been, we regret to say, without parallelin the histo- ry of our mercantile’ affairs. Upon reference to Lloyd’s books and other authentic documents, it appears thatthe total number of vessels lost during the dreadful hurricane on the night of the 13th of last month was about 180, and that the number of rsons who perished with them amounted to not jessthan 453. On the coast of England 154 vessels were wrecked, and 190 lives lost; on the coast of Ireland, five vessels were lost, with 104 lives; on the coast of Scotland, 17 vessels were wrecked, and 39 lives lost ; and on the coast of France,, four ves- sels and 100lives lost. The value of the vessels and cargoeshave been roughly estimated at £585,000, viz:—the vessels at £405,000, and tke cargoes at £180,000. On the three following [days after the 13th numerous other wrecks occurred, to the ex- tent of nearly 60, the losses of which were upwards of £240,000; this, with the others, making a total of £825,000. To thisis to be added the great loss of vessels that occurred in the course of the storm of Friday and Saturday last. Tae New American Steamer.—To-day we have the arrival of a new steamer, the Hibernia, intended for the British and North American Royal Mail Company. This new ship has been built and fitted up in a manner worthy of the line to which she be- longs, and from the rate of speed she has attained in her voyage round fromthe Clyde may be pronounc- ed the fastest ocean going steamer. “At the time of her being launched we gave particulars of her size, &c., and it is needless to describe her further than the spirited owners have apared no expense whatever in making her as complete and pertect a vessel as can possibly be produced ‘The line is now compos- ed of five vessels, the Hibernia, Britannia, Colum- bia, Acadia, and Caledonia. [t would be invidious to mention either one as possessing advantagesfover the other; the whole service is complete and perfect, each vessel ready to perform her seperate duty, an has continued to do so from the first entrance on the station. Captain Judkins has been appointed to com- mand the Hibernia. Foretes Lrreraturs.—Mrs. Gore's New Novet. —The new novel, ‘The Money Lender,” by Mrs. Gore, authoress of ‘Mothers and Daughters,” &c., is published this day by Mr. Colburn, ot Great Marlborough-street, and may now be had atall the libraries.

Cymbeline has been revived by Macready at Dae Lane. Though not so complete a restoration of the text of Snak- speare as could be desired, and less elaborate and finist ed in costume and scenery than some others of Mr. Macready’s revivals, it is marked by general propriety and elegance. x g ecent letters from Madrid mention, that at §the urgent invitationof the Duke of Ossuna, Rubini has determined to revisit the Spanish capital. A young prima donna of distinguished talent has been enga- ged to sing with him. The Duke of Ossuna has, with great liberality, guaranteed to the manager of the Circo Theatre the sum of 6,000 piasters, to as sist in defraying the expense of the thirty perform- ances proposed to be given. . Miss Rainforth has appeared in the character of Semiramide, at Covent Garden, vide Miss Kemble, a bold attempt, which the result justified. The showy opera of Gustavos has revived at the same heuse, where a farce, under the title of the ** High- wayman,” go called, because a footpad figures as one of the dramatis persone, was tolerably well re- ceived. Blue Beard has also been revived at Co- ventGarden, An English version of La Gazza Ladra was pro- duced at Drury Lane, for the debut of two singers, Miss Sabilla Novello, a sister of Clara, and Miss Flower, a young lady who appeared last season at concerts. “The pie up of this anglicised Italian opera was not successful, though the singers were. _ The English Opera House has been cohverted into an American Circus for horsemanship and a menagerie of wild beasts; Mr. Van Amburgh and Mr. Carter, the lion king, having clubbed their brute forces, and engaged some equestrians to vary the entertainments. St. James’s ToeatRE—Mr. BranaM.—The scene last night on the re-appearance in this country of the veteran vocalist was most striking. The theatre was crammed in every part. Mr. Braham and Mr. Charles Braham were Mnobly received. That Mr. Braham has greatly improved since he left us for America there can be no question. He seemed to have recovered all his early fire, and though his notes were not all equally at his command, his vigor and power were immense. Wiuson’s Scorrisu Amusement, Victoria Rooms. —On Tuesday morning last, Mr. Wilson was honored with a crowded assembly of fashionables atthe Victoria Rooms, and again in the evening of the same day, although the weather was far from favorable. The evening was dedicated to Burns, and most ably did Mr. Nalsnaet through the perform- ance; but yet, he appeared to us to sing with effort; we fear he was fatigued—indeed, how could it be otherwise? he almost possesses ubiquity; he sings here one evening; in London the next morning and evening; here again the day after: and the following one at Exter!!! to say nothing of two performances on the same day, ot fifteen or six'een songs, in- cluding encores; our only amazement is, that he is at fectly hoarse, and that he is enabled to sing at'all.—Liverpool paper.

After some faint Heslaas tt is said that MadameLecompte at length made a series of tremendous bounds from the back of the stage to the front lights, wherein she unveiled her dorsal extremities so completely and unexpectedly, that the young ladies in the dress boxes dropped their eyes, and mammas looked seri- ous; while the major part of the house experienced a delight which could exhaust itself only in one general explosion of mirth and uproar. At Easter] we shall have Grisi, Mario, Lablache, and a new baritone named Fornassari. Amonast the leading danseuses are Cerito, Fanny Elssler, Dumilatre, and Guy Stephan,not forgetting, either, the elastic Perrot. The peculiar beauties of each of these artistes are well known to an English audience, with the exception of those of Mdlle. Dumilatre, who isa danseuse from the Academie Reyale, in which she has for some period taken the highest rank. She is said to bea most beautiful woman, witha person of exquisite symmetry. Her dancing is in the style of Taglioni, full of chasteness and elegance. She has recently made wonderful hita, to use the common theatrical term, in the Sylphide and Gipsey. Mile. Dumilatre will open with the season in a new bal- let by Perrot, founded on Victor Hugo’s ‘Notre Dame,” in which she willbe assisted by Guy Ste- phan, M. Sylvain, and Perrot. Fanny Elssler, in consequence of the loss of her father, will not appear quite so goon, but her engage- ment with Mr. Lumley commences trom the middle of the present month, We understand, furthermore, that Mr. Lumley, not content with the immense concentration of ta- lent he has already secured for_ this department, has opened a negociation with Mdlle. Taglioni. But without that lady he has the command of a greater number of first rate dangers than have before been under the control of one manager. The corps of second dancers, too, he has also considerably ine creased. A It is rumored in the dramatic circles, that a new play by Sir Edward L. Bulwer, accepted by Mr. Macready, will be brought out in March. Treland. The city of Dublin was visited with a severe storm on the 3d, and a tall of snow, the greatest which has been known for years. Some idea of the fury of the gale may be formed from the fact of the Holyhead packet, which ought to have reach- ed Kingstown on Thursday evening, being at see the whole of that night, and not entering the harbor till late in the forenoon of the following day. Spain, The conduct of General Beoane at Barcelona— his severity in exacting the contributions—his quar- tering the soldiery on allthe principal inhabitants— his putting down the freedom of discussion in the press, and throwing the writers into prison, and sup- pressing three journals—this system of Naphth le producing its fruits, aad saotter revolt, not less formidable and bloody, may be anticipated. Indeed, yumors were current in Paris that serious distur- ances had made their appearance at Barcelona, but they do not appear to (ts well founded. The city was in a state of the greatest fermentation. Secret meetings were being held, and all the pre- luminaries for another revolt were apparent. The Soult-Guizot ministry is safe, atleast for the present. It hada a eeepoey and the violence with which it has been assailed by many of the lead ng members of the Chamber, augurs badly, come *hrewd politicians think, for its permanent sta! ility. But one is apt, in estimating the probable conse- quences of sudden debate, to judge ot our mercurial tnd inflammable neighbors by an English standard, Nothing can be more erroneous. On this side of the channel, a defeat ona collateral point, such as M. Guizot experienced with reference to Syria, would have involved, in all ‘grobebility, s defeat on the main question. They do things differently in. france. A man may talk an infinite amount of bombast {from the tribune without meaning much harm. The firmness of M. Guizot, not only with re- ference to his bold and emphatic declaration that he would not negotiate fer a modification of the trea- ties, but his peremptory stoppage of the discussion about Spain, in the present state of the relations be- tween that country and France, showed a strong sense of his own position, and a corresponding con- tempt for the opposition. Marshall Soult supported his colleague nobly in the trial The Bal 13 gloat over the handseme things which Lo: rougham, on the first night of the session, uttered respecting France. The sentiments to which his Lordsnip, on that occasion, gave expression, are entertained gen- erally by the British nation, which is actuated b: nothing but a friendly feeling towards the Frencl peoyle. Uefortunately, a very different feeling actuates the public mind of France, the fruits of which, at no remote day, there is too much reason to fear, will lead to a renewal of old hestilities. At the sitting on the 2d inst., the Chamber was addressed by Marshal Sebastiani, who entered into an historical sketch of the period when the treaties were concluded, and defended them; by M. Dupin, who eotered into the right of search question be- tween England and the United States, in which, al- luding to the treaty, in 1824, between England and America, he said, that although the president sign- ed that treaty, yet the Senate retused to ratify the i ‘The honorable deputy, it will be seen signature. ( » by a reference to our sketch of the proceedings in the British Parliament, has since been corrected on the subject by Lord Brougham); and by M. Odillon Barrot, who declared himself to be a strong partisan ee with England, because he was of opinion that it was a guarantee for the liberty of the civilized world; but he was convinced, particularly since the treaty which had recently been entered into between England and the United States—that if France proved that the treaties of 1831 and 1833 were contrery to her seacinee and to her rights, a Mg nothing to fear for their alliance with naland. Marsnat. Sovct—Messieurs, this debate has been protracted to such a length that I consider it my duty to come forward and state to the Chamber that the whole council has been unanimous in acceptin, everything uttered by the Minister for foreign af- faire, whether here or in the Chamber otf Peers.

It wag rumored that the Pacha is preparing a mil- itary expedition to Darfour,and that Hassan Pacha is about to leave Cairo with two regiments,to join a force of some 8,000 men already in the upper coun- try.

Russta. Russtan Treaty.—By this treaty, Russian and English vessels are placed on the same footi: entering the ports of Russia and England. The commerce between the two countries is chiefly car- ried on in English ships. The treaty has no refer. ence to the tarifl, by which English goods are sub jected to an amount of duty which excludes many of them from the Russian market. It is said, with apparent troth, that Russia does not feel that interest im reversing the late Servian revolution which she affected. Alexander Georgi- wicz, the present ruler and son of Czerny George, resided for many years in Russia, has been a Rus- sian pensioner, and his sole rit Consists in being a stanch porto of Russia. This view os strength- ened by the quiescence of Ruy on the one hand, and on the other by the uneasiness which Austria displays. " The fete-day of the Emperor of Russia, on the 19th December, was celebrated with the usual ceremonies at St. Petersburgh. In the morning, a grand mase was performed in the chapel of the Winter Palace; at which the Emperor and Empress, with the lm. perial Family and the Court, attended. After the mass, the Emperor received the Diplomatic Carps in the throne-room, and the ladies were admitted into the apartments of the Emperor to periorm the ceremony of kissing hands. In the evening, the whole city was briliianotly illuminated; on the evening of the 20th there was a grand ball at Court. China.

Asregards China, events were progressing favorably. The Queen o’ ship, Herald, had arrived at Hong- Kong on her way home, with £1,500,000 more dol- lars, part of the first_instalment. "That place is ceded in perpetuity to England, and the Hong mer- chants are'virtually defunct. A friendly feeling had succeeded the belligerent. one, with which the English and the Chinese favorably regarded each other. Before leaving Nankin, the Imperial Com- missioners gave a grand entertainment to the offi- cers of the army and navy, at which professions of amity were indulged on both sides, The British forces were to be stationed in about equal divisions at Amoy, Hong-Kong, and Chusan. English mer- chants and their families are Pee by the de- crees of the Emperor, to reside at Canton, at Amoy, at Fowchowfoo, at Ningpoo, and at Shanghae. At the last mentioned place, Captain Balfour is to be stationed as Bntish Consul-General. Sir Hough Gough, the military commander of the expedition, was about returning home and Sir Henry Pottinger was expected in the beginning of December at Hong- Kong, to arrange about a commercial tariff. The news trom India is of a negative character. ‘The first division of the army, under Generals Pol- leck and Sale, reached Ferozepore, from Afiganis- tan, where the Governor General, Lord Ellenbo- rough, reached them on the 18th ot December, with great pomp. The remainder of the army was ex- pected on the 19th, and the Candahar troops, under General Nott, on the 20th. Sickness had shown itself among the troops, and a number of the men and officers had been carried off by the ravages of the small pox. Dost Mahommed had an interview with Lord Ellenborough in the beginning of De- cember. He was about to proceed with an escort to Peshawur. The Indian papers we may observe, quiz Lord Ellenbcrough unmerciful- ly, respecting his balderdashical proclamation, and ‘the English press, with hardly an exception, and without reference to ‘party, has once more opened the sluices of its ridicule on his devoted head. He appears to be without a solitary defender in the press, if we except the “Standard,” which has partially taken him under its protection, erietein its own memorable excla- mation before he left England,—‘It is enough for the country to be burdened with his pension ; the Conservative party ought to be spared the disgrace of his association.” Lut the parliamentary vote of thanks, which the government propose giving him, will bring his eccentricities still more prominently before the public in a day or two. The titillation will be great. aughter, holding both his sides,” will tipify the discussion. The Duke of Wellington, in his usual brusque a has declared his intention of defending all Lord Ellenborough’s acts—at the ireseat moment an ungracious as well as a difficult task. Markets.
