ISRAEL ALEXANDER, Finsbury Repot LOSS AND RECOVERY OF A BANKER'S PARCEL. On Tuesday morning, the (Jtli instant, Mr. Evans, the manager of the head office in Manchester, arrived in town by mail, having with him a parcel containing about in good bills, 5,000. in Bank of England notes, -100. in the notes of country bankers, and 10,000.

in American and other securities. The parcel was placed in a crimson bag and locked. The bag Mr. Evans took with him in a cab from the new Post Office to St. Paul's Coffee-house.

The bag, with its contents, was lost, but the loss was fortunately discovered before daylight, and was immediately made known to Mr. Ilraidlcy, one of the directors, who happened nt the time to be in London. Immediate steps were taken by Mr. Braidley and Mr. Olympic Treatiib.

A pleasant sketch was produced at this theatre on Monday evening, under the title of The Old Gintleman, arid was well received. Mr. Oldham (F. Matthews), a bachelor gentleman of 62, comes up to town- to marry the niece of his friend, Mr. Bernard (Wyman), an impromptu match, to which the young lady, Angelina (Miss Murray), has given her consent in a fit of petulance, arising out of a tiff with her lover, Charles Benedick (Mr.

Selby). The first person whom the old gentleman encounters, on arriving at Bernard's house, is no other than Charles himself, who happens to be a young favourite of Oldham's. While mutually expressing their surprise at their unexpected meeting, Bell, Angelina's waiting maid (Mrs.Orger), makes her appearance with a bundle of Charles's letters to his mistress, which the young lady has sent him in return for her own, which Charles had just previously returned her in the height of their lovers' quarrel. The old gentleman, seeing the letters, inquires into the whole matter, and, after a scene, gives up his own claim to the lady, and joins the hands of the young folks, nothing loth. All the ABIUDGED LAW INTELLIGENCE.

In the Prerogative. Court on Thursday the ease of Alderman Wood and others against Helps aud having ri Terence to the will oT James Wood, the rich hanker of Gloucester, came on for hearing. The question wits concerning the admission of an allegation propounding a codicil which was sent through the two-penny post to the residence of Mr. Helps, of lialhum hill, from which it appears that Mr. Wood, after disposing.

of immense sums to the Con oration, and private parties, gives 30,000. to Mr. Helps. The codicil bears date July 1835, The suit is very heavy, and of immense length, and there are no less than five paities to be heard. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Monday, was tried the case of Wright v.

Wood. The plaintiff is an elderly man, and by trade a shoemaker the defendant is the proprietor of the Artillery Brewery, Westminster. On the l.Uh March last, about nine in the evening, the defendant's draj'nien having let down some beer-barrels into the FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO CONSTANTINE. A second edition of 1-a Charle (Paris paper), of Tuesday, the 13th instant, contains the following bulletin Government have just received tlie following telegraphic dispatch from Toulon, dated Dec.

1 1, 6 p.m., giving an account received from Bona of the expedition under Marshal Clauscl, addressed by the Commander-in-Chief to the Minister at War The expedition against Constantino has not had complete success. It has been in some sort, by an extraordinary event beyond all calculation, changed into a real and strong reconnoissancc, after which I tok up a po-ition within three short days' march of Constantinc by establishing a post at Giiolma. The expedition encountered, on its way from Bona to Constantinc, no enemy, no obstacle. We passed without difficulty through the defile of Rach-cIAyba, and learned there that Achmet with his women and his treasures, hart lelt Constantino. At Soma wc were surprised about five o'clock by a picsyngly cold rain, mixed with snow, Up to that lime all had gone on well, but the night was Mortal to many of our soldiers, and thousands of others were benumbed.

MVc were only three leagues distant from Constantinc. On the -ilst we resumed our march, seeing the place before us. After descending: a gentle declivity, on which wc had encamped, wc found the much swollen, and we were obliged to lord it, thr water reaching up to our waists, and the snow continuing to fall nevertheless, we crossed the river without the loss of a single man. A league further on wc hail to traverse -rinthcr branch of the (river Tumcl, where we encountered new difficulties, new causes tl disease, and consequently a diminution of our number of fighting men. There were not then 4,000 eumbatants out of the with whom 1 had set out.

At length about two o'clock we arrived on the table laud of Muntsnure and were taking up a position at tlie distance of '240 yards from the city, when, a cannon. shot and the hoisting of a red flag destroyed the hope I had enter c-vans to recover the property their lirst ciiorts, nowever, were unavailing, and Forrester, the officer, was consulted. Mr. Braidley cellar of the Anchor Tavern, St. Mary-al-hill, Thames-street, went into the cellar to arrange them, and left the drays 011 the opposite and Mr.

Evans thought of offering a high reward for the recovery of the parcel hut, hy the judicious advice ot i'orrester, it was deter characters were sustained iu a very pleasant manner and there is some very amusing by-play between Charles' footman, Nat (Vining), and Miss Bell, who, as in duty bound, have followed the example of their master and mistress. Mrs. Nisbett is at present delighting the good people of Edinburgh. On Thursday week she appeared as Lady Teazle, and attracted one of the largest audiences of tlie season. Destruction of Loughton Hall, Essex.

This building, the seat of Mr. Maitland, the High Sheriff, has been destroyed by fire. About five o'clock on Sunday morning one of the domestics observed a dense body of smoke in the west wing of the building. Some of side of the street, hut omitted to coil up the ropes, which, conse quently, remained lying across the foot and curriage-way, the flap of the cellar being left open. The plaintiff, who was passing along at the time, struck his foot against the rope, and was thrown into the cellar, in consequence of which he suffered severe bodily injury, and had his hip-joint dislocated.

He was confined to his room for several weeks, and it is supposed that he will continue more or less crippled for life. On the part of the defendant it was contended, that if laincd of entering Constantinc without striking a hlow. I then saw that it would be necessary to have recourse to force, and eveiy moment my force was decreasing more and more, foi the weather was horri. tie. Tire earth and the men were covered with snow, and the carriages disappeared, embedded in the mud.

"The inhabitants of the city did not wish to engage in hostilities against us. Some Kabailcs were, however, introduced into the place hy gates which we could not blockade, and they took upon themselves by force the defence of the town. I caused it to be cannonaded briskly on the second day to burst in the gate of Cantara. Wc continued the fire "on tlie third day, and the gate was thrown down. But (Interrupted by the unfavourable weather).

The iloniteur of Thursday contained another instalment of Marshal Clausel's dispatch it is very unfavourable The operation was continued, (says the dispatch in on the third day, and the gate was taken, but badly. My wish was, to quarter some sappers'! here, and afterwards some Grenadier companies, in order to effect an entrance into the town but the attempt failed of success. The only resource which then remained for us was to retire, as wc had no provisions. The half of our subsistence for 15 days had been nearly buried in the mire at Mansoui e. and had been abandoned or plundered by the soldiers intrusted with the duty of defending it.

About eight o'clock in the nuiruiug of the 21th we quitted our osi'ions at Mansuurc, at the distance of 7io leet ironi the place, and nN our position at Condi. Atia, at the gate of the south, where the vanguard was stationed. Wc were at first followed by some hundred men from the place. Horsemen advanced upon us from every direction, but tin ir numiier. which at first might have been nearly diminished on the following davs, and we saw no more of them on the fourth day at Kacli-cl Ayba, where, onling to many, wc were to meet willl certain death.

Our retreat was effected in good order, and the soldiers (Interrupted by hiuty This additional fragment produced, as may be conceived, very any person was liable it was the publican, and not the brewer, as it was the duty of the former to have attrnded to the flaps of his cellar. It was also contended that the defendant hud been partly ancillary to his own misfortune, in having omitted to take out with him on the evening in question a young person who hod been in the habit of accompanying him as a guide, his sight being defective to which, however, it was replied, that thu youth accompanied him, not as a guide, but for the purpose of carrying goods to his customers. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion, that if the draymen had been negligent, the defendant was liable, because the draymen were his servants, and the publican had no part in their selection. Verdict for the plaintiff damages, One. Hundred Pounds.

In the Court of Common Pleas on Thursday was tried, Bevan and others v. Venables and others. It appeared from the evidence, that the bankrupts, Messis. Bowring and Garr rd, had carried on business as linen-drapers and mercers, in Exmouth-street, Cierkenwetl and, in the year finding themselves in insolvent ffiroijtnst.inees, came to the determination of selling off quantity of their stock privately at an under price, lor which purpose they entered into an arrangement with their assistant, of the name of Kirby, to whose lodgings, accordingly, a quantity of goods were conveyed, where they were afterwards disposed of by him to the defendants, ut a reduction of 25. per cent, below first cost, under circumstances, according to liis statement, from which they must have known that thev were mined to offer by hand-bill a reward of 10.

only, for the delivery of a crimson bag, describing it, and the manner of its being lost, at St. Puul's Coffee-house, no mention of banker's parcel, or banker's office, or any idea of the value of the parcel being given. The bag was found by the horse-keeper, in the stable-yard, some hours after the cabman had put up his horse, and gone to bed, his duty being night, work and it was thrown by the finder under some straw in a vacant stull. When the cabman went to take out his horse again, the horse-keeper told him of the booty, and they together determined to keep the bag the three days allowed by the law, aud then, if no reward was offered, to take it to Somerset-house. Two men then knew of the loss, and it could not be wrongly appropriated by either without their joint privity.

The eabman had taken his fare out of his turn, and was complained of by the cabman whose turn he had taken, as he re-passed the. stand near the Post-office and the former, to xcuse himself, replied, Oh, it wus no great cilch, for I only got a shilling far; for taking a gentleman to St. Paul's Coffee-house." It happened that one of the hand-bills fell into the hands of the disappointed cabman, who, putting things together, concluded that it related to his rival of the morning, und forthwith went to him with the news, nnd finally bargain was struck, that the two cabmen and the horse-keeper should share the reward among them, and the parcel was delivered at St. Paul's Coffee-house, by the three men, about eight o'clock in the evening, being within thirteen hours of the time when the parcel was lost. It is right to mention that 10.

was given to each of the three men who aided the speedy delivery of the parcel to its owners. In the course of the day, when the loss was made known, rumour magnified the disaster, as fur as the result to tie bank was concerned, and on Wednesday its credit becume exceedingly shaken in quarters vitally important to its stability and efficiency. A consultation upoi the affair immediately took place betwen the principal London agents and the chief manager in London, when an intimation wus conveyed to them to the following effect: That if they were pressed, the Bunk of England was ready to advance them any sum to carry them over their temporary diflieulties. The offer of the Bank of England was finally accepted, and the doubts and tears occasioned by the rumour soon subsided. DAnsuuriii.

Kirby, who admitted on cross examination that he had opened and closed no less than eight different shops within a very few years, and was now an uncertificated bankrupt, was, upon his own showing, not entitled to credit. They had reason to think that the goods were sold to raise money to meet bills then falling due, which was a perfectly lawful transaction they had paid in cash 820. for the goods in question at all events they ought to be allowed the above sum, in reduction of damages, supposing the Jury to find against them. The Jury found for the pluintiffs Damages Tub Tailors' Tuavru.kii. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Tuesday, an action was brought by a person named Davis against Messrs.

Knight and tailors, under the following circumstances It appeared that the plaintiff had been for some years in the employment of the defendants, who canyon the business of tailors in Cornhill, and in the month of March last he engaged to serve them as traveller, at 11 salary of five guineas per week, and two suits of clothes in the year. He shortly afterwards went on a journey for them to lCditiburgh, when he procured several orders. On the 22d of June, however, he received a notice from the defendants, apprising him that his future services would be dispensed with. He consequently brought the present action to recover the amount of his salary for the full period for which he had contracted, which he es The removal of the Old London Bridge has caused a considerable change in the river above, and also, though in a less degree, belotv the bridge. Owing to the contracted arches through which the water had to make its way at the old bridge, there was a fall of from four feet nine inches to live leet at low water this fall is nmv reduced to about two inches so that the low water line above the bridge is nearly rive feel lower at spring tides than formerly.

In consequence, a greatly increased body of tidal water now flows up and down the river anil as it meets with no obstruction, i' Ilows with a decidedly greater velocity. The effect of this is to scour ami deepen the channel of themcr; its influence in this respect being already sensibly lelt as lar up putney Uinige, seven miles and a half above Loudon Ui idge. The shores above the latter, that weifc formerly foul and muddy, are now becoming ch-iiu shingle ami gravel, and near low water the beach is quite hard and firm. The shoals are also decreasing below the bridge and there can I little doubt that the change will at no distant period, be felt Irom the Norc up to Teddingion. lieforc the lemoval of the old bridge, a barge, starting from the pool with the rir-t of the flood, could not gcttarthcrthau Putney Hi idge witlioutthe assistance of oais.

Hut, under similar circumstances, a baige now reaches -Morllakc, four miles farther up, before using oars, and with a little help she may reach Richmond and taking horses there, may get to Tedding-ton in a tide. The descent down lie river has hceo eipiatly facilitated the tne servants proceeded to the library, and on opening the door discovered it to be in flames. In a few seconds the whole of the wing was one body of fire. Some of the household went for the Loughton engine, which was speedily 011 the spot, as also were the neighbours, who rendered every assistance in their power and although there was a plentiful supply of water, obtained from the ponds iu the vicinity, it was ineffectual. Finding it useless to attempt to stop the progress of the flames in the above quaiter, they directed their attention to the eastern part of the building, and, although they used every exertion, they succeeded in saving but a small portion.

The extent of the building may be imagined when we state that fifty rooms were destroyed and damaged. Amongst the property consumed were upwards of ten thousand volumes of valuable books, and, with a few exceptions, the whole of the valuable furniture was also destroyed. In the cellars are about eight thousand dozens of wine, which it is supposed are destroyed. The iire, which was purely accidental, appears to have commenced in the flue of the library chimney, which is supposed to have contained some wood-work, to have been burning for some days past. The whole of the property is insured in the Imperial Fire Office, of which Mr.

Maitland is a director. The amount of loss is variously estimated from ten to thirty thousand pounds. On Thursday night, about half-past nine, a fire broke out in the extensive soap and candle manufactory of Mr. John Knight, in Old Gravel, lane, Shadwell. Mr.

Knight, at the moment of the first alarm, had just sat down to suppet, in his residence, which is within the outer gates of the premises, but detached from the factory itself. His clerk, Mr. Morris, was in the counting-house below, and his son, a lad, was the first to convey to Mr. Knight the frightful alarm of fire. On getting outside, Mr.

Knight found the flumes pouring out furiously from the windows of the third and fourth floors, in which the caudle manufactory was carried on. The engines arrived almost immediately but the flames spread with terrific rapidity, owing to the peculiarly combustible nature of the materials by which they were fed. In a short time they gained a fearful ascendancy and, notwithstanding the precaution of having internal iron -doors and party-walls, both wings, as well as the centre of the fabric, were soon one mass of flame. By twelve o'clock the lofty building, which was five stories high, was completely gutted, leaving only the wall in the rear standing. There are insurances for the building in the Sun, and for the stock in the County offices, but Mr.

Knight states the amount to be far from adequate to the loss. On Wednesday the stores of Mr. William Peel, in George-street, Waterford, were destroyed by fire; the loss is estimated at 5,000., but the property was insured. The turnpike tolls in all Scotland yielded, on an average of 1833, 4, and 5, about 250,000. a year.

By an explosion of of gunpowder, en Thursday, at Messrs. Dobbs and Mercer's, Rotherhithe, a porter was seriously injured, and damage to the extent of 40. sustained. A lad named King was so dreadfully mutilated by being run over by some of the carts on the tram roads of the railway near the Hampstead road, that he died in two hours. The Revising Barrister of South Durham has decided that the shareholders of a railway, having an annual 40s.

interest in the undertaking, are entitled to be registered as voters for the county. The Marquis of Waterford was on Friday fined 5s. at Marlbnrough-street, for being intoxicated and creating a disturbance in Albemarle-street. His Lordship said he had dined at the Clarendon, and had drank too much wine. The opinion expressed by Mr.

Bannerman on the impossibility of affording assistance to the missing whalers by sending out a ship to search for them is that adopted by the Lords of the Admiralty, and has been communicated to Mr. William Allen Flowerdew and the merchants and shipowners of Dundee who had petitioned on this subject. An explosion of gunpowder recently occurred at the Fox public-house, Ellingshall-lane, Wolverhampton. A money-club, it appears, was being held in the house, which was kept by a person named Hartsborne, who is a butty-collier, and who has frequently many pouuds of guvpowder in the house for use in mining operations. The quantity upon the premises was a 251b.

barrel, which had been opened, and a small portion taken from it it was kept in a cupboard in one ol the upper rooms, and the servant girl being required to fetch some in the morning, she had taken it with her hand instead of the scoop, and the spilled grains, the room having not since been swept, formed a train for a little distance iu the room, direct to the barrel. The house was completely filled with company, nearly fifty persons being in it, some in the room above and some below, when one of them in the room above, having snuffed the candles with his lingers, flung the burning snuff on the floor it unfortunately fell on the train, ignited it, and in an instant the powder in the barrel exploded, and the house was a mass of ruins.

Mr. M'Culloeh's Account of the liritish Kmpire. The ordinary meeting of the Royal Geographical Society was held on Monday evening Sir John Barrow, President, in the Chair. At the conclusion of the meeting, Sir J.

Barrow announced the result of the interview of the deputation of the Society with Lord Glenelg respecting the proposed expedition of Lieutenants Gray and Lushiugtou in Austrulia, slating, that the plan thut had been partly laid down was not likely to be carried into eff from the want 0 nuval means at the Swan River, but that Government had it in contemplation to despatch a ship of war to survey the hitherto unexplored tract on the north-west coast, which would afford a facility to these gentlemen to penetrate to the interior, in order to determine points of great geographical interest. On this part of the coast the tides rise 3(1 feet, the air is humid and hazy, and there are other indications of a great river or expanse of fresh water and it was not improbable but their observations would enable them to decide upon the existence or not of a great inland mediterranean sea, which had so long excited and divided the attention of geographers.

We have been informed thut Sir Robert will, in all likelihood, during his visit sojourn under the hospitable roof of Blythes vood-house but from private information received in town, it is understood that Lady Peel will not accompany Sir Robert to Scotland. In consequence of this the Committee are likely to come to the resolution of dispensing with galleries for the ladies, an alteration i'vl their proposed plan which will enable them to accommodate three thousand persons.

By the will of the late Miss Vaughan a legacy of 60,000 is bequeathed to a Noble Marquis, payable out of a particular stock in the Bank but in which stock there is found to exist only 10,000. standing in the deceased's name. A question, wc hear, is likely to arise, whether the Noble legatee is compellable to take this latter sum in full of his demand, or whether he is not entitled to claim the difference from the other ample funds of his liberal benefactress. About half-past six o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst. a fire broke out in the extensive spinning cotton factory of Messrs.

Faulkner and Owen, in Jewry. street, Ancoats, Manchester, which entirely destroyed one factory, with its contents, and greatly damaged another which hud been joined to it, belonging to the same firm. Mr. Faulkner having lately grafted improvements on bis machinery, bv which the same amount of work is done at less labour and cost, hud incurred tlie ill-will of the workmen, and had in consequence been compelled to employ people who are known by the opprobrious epithet of knobsticks." To prevent these people being exposed to the Hostility of the operatives of the surrounding localities, they had been permitted to take up their permanent abode in the factory, and a large room had been furnished for that purpose. This room was -ituutcd on the fourth story of a new mill, nine stories high, and about 18 yards lioi.

Whether the carelessness of these people, or the torch of an operative incendiary kindled the flames, is not known but it is certain that the working people stood aloof, sullen and apathetic, when required to give assistance and whenever Mr. Faulkner was descried actively endeavouiiiig to save his property, he wus insulted and loaded willl execrations. The fire had destroyed the mill by nine in the morning, and was then prevented from extending to the adjoining one. The loss of property cannot fall short of 10,000. or but Mr.

Faulkner is said to be fully insured. At the Suiitlitii Id Cattle Club dinner, on Monday, Earl Spencer created much mirth by observing that he liked agricultural pursuits, and having tried many (great laughter), no one gave him so mown on to the root of an adjoining house, and was much hurt, as were several others, but no lives were lost. Ensign Smith, of the 101st regimant, being invited to a ball at Turnham green, ordered a pair of dancing, pumps from Mr. Hoby, of St. James's street.

By some accident the pumps were not finished in time, and Ensign Smith was disappointed. The next day, in a furious military passion, he stalked into Hoby's shop, and desired to see Mr. Hoby himself. The autocrat of bootmakers condescended to appear. Ensign Smith first eyed him savagely, and curling his mustachios (I beg pardon he did no such thing he had none to curl for in those days il had not been discovered how much courage, virtue, vigour, dignity, and resolution dwell in a little hair upon the upper lip).

Nevertheless, he eyed him most savagely, and thus be gan Mr. Hoby, Sir, 1 desire to know, I wish to understand tell me, Sir, directly why my pumps were not sent home, or I will withdraw my custom I will, by Heaven, I will." The astonished Hoby said he would enquire, and begged the gentleman to be pacified. Pacified, Sir I (replied the ensign), I'll be hanged if I do. Bring me my bill, I'll never deal with you any more.

We bring back all our artillery, all our and 1 leave a strong garrison composed of natives at Gwelma, which is a stronger post than Constantinc itself.

Our Arabs sec with pleasure this arrangement. We thus raise one power against another, and, according to the disjiositiou of men's minds, 1 am inclined to believe that the power of Achmet will give way before that of our Bey. Perhaps hy this means wc shall not need to undertake a new expedition to render ourselves masters of the city of Constantinc, which i.s finer, larger, and more important than either Bona, Algiers, or Oran. His Royal Highness the Duke dc Nemours took a part In all the fatigues and perils of the army. His Royal Highness continues to enjoy perlect health." This extremely unpleasant affair occupied public attention, and the Parisian press, on Thursday, to the exclusion of every other topic.

Xt was still expected that it would lead to the dissolution of the Ministry, and preparatory to a modification of the Cabinet (it was said) the King hud granted several audiences to Marshal Cerard, M. Unpin, who dined at the Palace on Wednesday, and Count Moutalivct. The following letter contains further particulars Bona, November 30. We arrived here this morning from Constantinc. Our expedition has roved a complete failuic.

Wc were unable to enter that unfortunate city. I hall not of course speak to you of our successes, but of our reverses. We extricated ourselves from a situation out of which we were too happy to escape. We were strangely deceived. The Arabs did not come to meet us we en.

countered a powerful resistance, and our means were too limited to triumph over our fierce adversaries. We attempted all that human power could do. The honour of our army is safe. Wc remained tluee days before Constantinc we threw 1,400 projectiles into the place, and made two assaults on it, but in Tain. Retreat became unavoidable the men had nothing to eat, and the horses were without forage for three days, and we were surrounded by 111,000 or 1 2.000 of Achmct's horsemen, who expected that not one of ut would "escape.

We were within eight days' march of Bona, and our ammunition almost entirely exhausted. Still we arrived here but In what condition, and at the price of what sacrifice I How man unhappy wounded, and men exhausted with fatigue, were we obliged to abandon to the discretion of the Arabs What sufferings for the remainder More than one fourth of our army has perished, and those who have been fortunate enough to return are in the most deplorable state imaginable. Aa in the campaign of Moscow, the elements were against us. You can farm no idea of the rain and hail of this country. Snow fell during sewn days.

Numbers of oar soldiers died of cold, but what is still worse, a multitude of them have had their feet frozen and mortified. Con-taiitine being situated in the midst of mountains, snow is as frequent in its environs as in the North of Europe. General was wounded in the neck; the Chief of Squadron Riche-pnuse was killed he received three balls in the breast. Genera! Cnlbcit is dangerously ill. and sails to-day for Toulon.

M. Saigon, a gentleman well known in Paris, who had accompanied the expedition as an amateur, died yesterday. He had become insane (rum fatigue." Another letter states that General dc Rigny, who commanded the advanced guard, old not behave like a soldier, and that, having refused to march ward, General Trezel took the command, aud was wounded by a ball ine neck at the gate of Cantara. The 47th Regiment gave way, anil but for the 2d light Infantry, who protected the retreat, and presented 1111 impenetrable to the enemy, not a single man could have escaped to Bona. The Arabs in pursuit of the French did not take the trouble of lining the fugitives they dashed them down precipices along tlie road.

Letters and papers from Madrid, dated the Tith, supply us with intelligence of Gomez on the 29th of November. It appears from these accounts that Gomez, after his defeat at Aroos, had been hotly porsued for some days by General Narvaez. At midnight of the 25th, Gomez entered Villamartin, a village about six leagues distant from Arcos, and afterwards proceeded in the direction of Osuna, which place he quitted on the 2yih, at half.past two o'clock in the afternoon. In two hours and a half after his departure, General Narvaez entered that town, and, deeming it necessary to give his troops some rest, passed the night there. It is not improbable that Gomez, who is proceeding by rapid marches towards Murcia, will take advantage of this delay of the Queen's troops to set beyond the reich of his pursuers.

In no quarter do the inhabitants of the country appear to offer resistance to his progress, and the very fact of his entry into Osuna is a strong proof of at least their apathy. Gomez and his force, reduced to about three thousand men, are described as flying in the most disorderly manner, and yet it seems tbey were able to occupy a large town, protected by a fort, and containing a population of nearly fifteen thousand persons. These accounts tend to confirm the report that Gomez had lost a great part of his booty, and it is said that a portion which he had shipped at Algesirus for Gibraltar was captured at sea. Madrid papers to the 7th inst. inclusive were received on Friday.

Tlie latest official intelligence respecting Gomez which they contain is the foilowing dispatch, received by the Government at Madrid 14 Sub Delegation of Ocana. It appears by a dispatch I have this moment received eleven o'clock at night; from Quintanar dc la Orden and Conral dc Almagucr, that the rebels of Ci niez marched at the dawn of this day on the Mota del Cuervo 1 in the direction of Los Hinojos The number of the rebels amounted 'o 7, (iim 8,01111 men, and their cavalry was as much fatigued as their infantry. It also appears that the Queen's troops were yesterday at Tomelloso and'weie pur-suing the rebels with sufficient vigour. The rebel crew eueauiped at nine o'clock in tlie night at the Moliuos de la Mota. The Alcalde of Kl Corral states, that the rebel force had separated into two divisions, one of wlueli proceeded to Villamavor de Santiago which place it entered at eleven o'clock this day, and the other went on to Ueliuontc vaj that the division of General Alaix passed the night ol yesterday at Tonjelloso, and that the canaille eo.itu.ued their mnrch in a state of the mont complete fitigue.

Dated Ocana, Dec. a quarter past II o'clock in the night. TU.MAS 1 1 (J. P.S. At the moment of closing this dispatch, I received a letter ironi the J.ngistratc of Villarrubia Santiago, informing me that the rt bels of Gomez tins evening invaded the village of Horcajo de Santiago.

1WCIIECO The Eco del Comercio of the fith instant adds, that General San left Cnenca the 2d with his division, to proceed to Priego, and that consequent. hc must have been on the dtb in face of the rebels on the Tagtis. A private letter from Madfid, dated the 7th states that much an.ict prevailed in that city with regard to the movements of According to some accounts, tie hail arrived within lire leagues of Araujuez (a city seven leagues south oi Madrid, on the '1'ag us; while others! dements represent him to have taken a more easterly direction, and to have proceeded towards eleven miles distant from the capital. Jt was reported at Madrid that division had mutinied, and insisted on being placed under Alaix, their former General. (1) Two places south-east 01 Madrid, about an leagues distant therefrom.

i'-'i i town of I.a Mancha, a leagues from the position then held by the t'ai lists. (3) Places equidistant from l.os llinujns the first a lew miles to thesouth-WCst, the latter to the south-east. It thus appears from the Madrid Papers of the "Ih inst. that Gomez, instead of having been annihilated, was inspiring the capital with alarm. According to the Memorial liurdtlait, Gomez iiad no fewer than 11,000 men with him when he was at Orsuna.

lie is said to have entered La Manche, to hae threatened Manzanares on the 3d. Narvaez has been no more successful than his predecessors, and his troops are said to have deserted him, and placed themselves under Alaix, At any rate it is clear from the march of Gomez towards tlie North, in advance of Narvaez, Alaix, and Hiberj, that he has completely outwitted them, and left them behind in Andalusia. Opening of the London and Greenwich Railway. The completion of this undertaking as far as Deptford was celebrated on Wednesday by a public opening, at which the Lord Mayor and many other civic authorities attended. The bridge end of the railroad was decorated with flags and banners, and an awning, with three tiers of scats, was erected fur the accommodation of visitors.

At half-past one the Lord Mayor and suite arrived, and five trains, with carriages, containing hii Lordship, the Directors, and their friends, started to Deptford, where the Lord Mayor alighted, and on proceeding to the Hoard Room under the archway of the road, an address was presented to him from the Directors, thanking him for his patronage and sup port of the undertaking, after which the procession returned to Loo don. The rate at which the carriages proceeded in their way downwards could uot be fairly taken as a test of their general speed, as each train had a stoppage of two or three intervals. The greatest rate of going of any of the engines did not much exceed 20 miles an hone, but the mean rate was not more than Hi miles an hour. After the return of the several trains, about three hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to a tlrjeuner, prepared at the Bridge House Hotel, at which Mr Dottin presided. The Courier of St.

John's, New Brunswick, gives a remarkable instance of the extent to which some establishments engage in the Noith American timber trade it is that of Messrs. Pollock, Gil-niour, and Co. They are chutly engaged in this trade -and it is mentioned that they Imve. pii.t' establishments, and ship annually upwards of C.liO'i.U.i;) (Vet of timher, to cut and col lect which, and to pivp.ie it Miipiucnt, required upwards of 15,000 men. and 500 oxen, in constant employment.

For the promotion of their trade, they are owners of Jl large ships, the registered tonnage of which is 12.003 tons, navigated bvTj2 seamen, earrying each trip upwards of 20.000 tons of timber, at" 10 cubic fret per ton all of which ships make two. and some of them three, trips annually. It is added, and we believe truly, that such an establishment is unequalled in Europe. The Buried Alive. Some weeks since M.

Ohmlin, a physician of Saehselen, in Switzerland, having, on going to bed, taken a strong dose of opium in order to calm a violent tooth-ache, was found lifeless on the following morning. Of all the physicians who were called in to. sec tha unfortunate victim only one expressed some doubts re. BIRTHS.

The defendants resisted the demand, on the ground of alleged negligence on the plaintiff's part, by which they contended they were released from the contract. To meet this charge a number of letters conveying orders were put in, some of which were of nn amusing character, particularly one in which the plaintiff transmits an order for a suit of clothes for a lawyer, and di-rects that the pockets should be very roomy. Two hundred orders had been procured by the plaintiff, which was about as many as had been obtained in former years. The Jury returned a verdict for thu plaintiff Damages, Four Hundred Pounds. In the Court of King's liench, on Tuesday, was tried Long v.

M'Cabe. The plaintiff, an elderly lady, accompanied by her nephew, Capt. Rankin, went to the defendant's, a watchmaker in Cornhill, about six in the evening of the 18th February the shop was then in a state of darkness, having only two candles in it. Her nephew went first, and the followed him, but fell through a trap-door, a height of ten feet. She had immediate assistance, and went next day to her residence at Chipstead, where she kept her bed for a month she was bruised from her head to her heels she had no surgeon, but was nursed by her sister, to whom she gave five guineas for her attendance and services she brought the action on the ground of negligence.

In defence it was said that the shop was about to be closed, and two candles were placed upon the floor close to the trap door, and there was also ait argand lamp burning. The defendant had laken every precaution, and the trup-door had only been opened to take out the shutters, which were then being put up. Lord Den-man, in his address to the Jury, regretted that Capt. Rankin should have writteu such letters to the defendant as had been read, about his culpability, and beingprepared to defend himself by an infamous lie it was that sort of letter which indisposed a man to come to reasonable terms it was improper and revolting to the feelings of any man to be so addressed. There was not the smallest blame to be' imputed to the defendant after the accident had occurred, as he did everything a man of humanity could do.

The Jury found for the plaintiff Damages 107. 4s. 3d. The plaintiff is the laJy, it will be recollected, who some time since, in conjunction with her nephew, All. Kankin, displayed so much coolness and courage in repelling the attack of nine men to commit a burglary in Mint-house, Chipstead.

In the Court of King's Bench on Thursday an action was brought by a person named Armstrong, a lodging house keeper in Covent-gardcu, against Mr. Cromwell of Southampton, to recover 07. Id's. (id. lor the hoard and lodging of his wife.

The defence was tint thu lady had been guilty of adultery, and it appeared that the defendant, who was a music-master in that town, married the lady, believing her to be the natural daughter of General M'Leod, whom she called papa." Three days alter the marriage, however, the sister of the defendant discovered that the General and Mrs. Cromwell were in the bed-room, with the door locked, and 011 Mrs. Cromwell coming furth, her dress was greatly disordered. The papa immediately left the house. A servant named, Harriet Dather, was a witnets to the same occurrence, and the defendant turned his wife out of doors.

It was contended for the plaintiff that there was not Bullicient to prove adultery, and witnesses were called who stated that Mrs. Cromwell's demeanour, as far as their knowledge went, was perfectly correct. Lord Dennian left it to the Jury to decide on the evidence given in support of adultery, which, if proved satisfactory to them, would nullity the claim of the plaintiff. After considerable the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages (il. His.

lid. At tke Central Criminal Court on Thursday, John Minter Hart, aged described as a solicitor, was indicted for feloniously forging and counterfeiting a bill of exchange for with intent to defraud the Rev. Charles Jenner, of Wcndoe, Glamorganshire, the son of the Admiralty Judge. The Rev. Mr.

Jenner, in July last, wishing to borrow -tjiiil lor twelve made application to an advertising money, lender, who described Inic-elt as Mr. lilake, of 44, llawnarkct but at a inciting ue prisoner Hart introduced himself as, that party. The Itcv. Gentleman to pay per cent, for tl.e use of the money and at a subsei nent intui uev. the prisoner, on being asked if lie had procured the .1 -'nil, made 110 posi live answer, hlit produced a stamp, and rcipiestcd Mr.

Jenner to write his name on it. The acceptance was written, and the words at the Hunk of Kngland," added to it. Mr. Jenner then nsked the prisoner for the money; but he said it would be ncces-ary to procure the signature of his brother to a bank check which prisonci appeared to have written before the could be lorthcnmlng. On this Mr.

Jenner felt suiiic suspicions, and, taking up the stamp, Then you will leave this with me until you return." The pri soner, however, said, that there was no occasion for that, and in order to con vinee Jenner that there could be no mistake, he pointed out to him the figures denoting mn, written on the corner of the stamp. The piisoner then took the stump, with Mr. Jennet's acceptance, and promised to he at the Hank Coffee house in hall an ur with tlie money, but was not seen afterward-. The blank acceptance was atterwards filled up, the figures dcuwting rf.itai erased, and -t juo placed below the spot 011 which the original figures were The acceptance was ultimately sold to Mr. Kdwards, of Fairlawn-housc, Hammersmith, for 100.

and 50. more when paid. The Jury found the prisoner guilty on all the counts generally, and the Court allowed the prosecutor his expenses. A deputation of tradesmen of Dublin, accompanied by Mr. O'Connell, waited on Lord Morpeth, Secretary of State for Ireland, on Monday, for the purpose of ascertaining the intentions of Government respecting the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland.

In making this inquiry, the deputation stated its conviction that great caution would be necessary in the introduction of any measure for the relief of the poor, and that in the opinion of those whom it represented no measure to thut effect should, in the first instance, extend beyond the relief of the aged and the sick. Loid Morpeth had no hesitation in admitting that it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to introduce an Irish Poor Law Kill in the next Session; that the Law Officers of the Crown were actually engaged in its preparation and although he was not prepared to communi-eute the pteoise provisions of the proposed Bill, the deputation might rest assured that the Government would take any suggestion which might be made to them on the subject into consideration. Mki.ancholv Shipwreck. Sevkntv Lives Lost. The Bristol, Captain M'Kown, from Liverpool for New York, was off Sandy Hook, at p.m., on Sunday night, the 20th with lanterns out as a signal for a pilot, at which time a gale had just commenced.

No pilots, however, were out, and the ship had to stand off. At a quarter before four, a.m., on Monday morning, the ship struck on Far Rockaway, about five miles from New York, and, distressing to relate, at daylight, although within half mile of the shore, 110 relief could be afforded to the distressed passengers and crew, who were clinging to the shrouds. All the day they remained in this situation, the surf being so Ligh that none could approach her. At about 11, p.m., the sea abated, aud boats, went to her. relief, and succeeded in takinguff the Captain, a portion of the crew, and some of the cabin and steerage passengers.

We are, however, distressed to state, that two seamen, the cook, and steward, with Mr, Donelly and the two Misses Carlton, cabin passengers, and about sixty steerage passengers, perished. All were rescued that remained upon the wreck when the boats reached her but, during the day, the ship went to pieces. Sxm'HKihLD anij Ism nuton Markbts.

A robbery to a considerable, extent bus lately been perpetrated at Lord Whurncliffe's seat, Wortlcy Hall, near Sheffield the property stolen consisted chiefly of gold und silver articles, and bank notes. The marriuge of Otho, King of Greece, with the Princess Amelia of Oldenburg, was celebrated on the 22d ult. in the Puluce of Oldenburg.

Collision at Sea and Los of Eiuiit Lives. We regret to state that an accident, attended with the loss of the Perseverance, of. Shields, and the lives of eight persons, occurred on the Elbe on the ult. About one in the afternoon, the Perseverance, Captain Puin, was proceeding up the Elbe to Hamburgh, with a steady course and fair wind, but on arriving at the pilot-station hove to, to exchange pilots, aud a boat put off towards her. The pilot-boat had nearly reached the brig, wheu the Lee steamer, from Hull, approached at a rapid rate, and appeared to be bearing down upon them.

The Lee would doubtless have passed between the boat and the Perseverance, and thus saved a turn, but upon a near approach it was evident thut she must either run down the pilot-boat or foul the brig. She turned from the boat and entered the brig's quarter, carrying part of it away. The Lee proceeded to Hamburgh, and the master of the Perseverance thinking it possible to save the vessel, threw part of her cargo of coals overboard as she continued to till, he attempted to run her ashore, but she would not steer, and it being certain she would soon go down, the whole of the crew and the pilot took to the loug-boat, into which they had just entered, but had not got clear of the brig, when she sunk, and the boat was drawn after her and ingulfed in the eddy. Fortunately, the mast-heads of the brig remained above water, otherwise the whole crew would have perished. Captain Pain, after having been underwater several times, seized hold of something, which proved to be the leg of one of the men, who had that moment taken hold of the mainyard.
