H&rtmofflAg'* antr Cfturfttog'ff floeta. j .— ——————————————————— LONDON, JAN. 31. THE Paris papers of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been received. The Moniteur of the former day publishes the following reply of the King to the Address of the Chamber of Peers :— I am deeply affected by the wishes yon express. After the blow which befell me, 1 conld only derive consolation from that generai mourning, and that accorri of all sentiments and all opinions to concnr in my griet and insure the fatnre prospects of France. It is bv the union of all the powers of the Slate, by the confidence with which von invested me, by the sincere and enlighlened co. operation yon afforded me, that oor institutions were brought to their present perfection, and that we attained the object of oar common en(teavoors-the maintenance of order at home and of ptcice abroad. It is a pleasnre to me to repeat to you, that you have acquired many additional ties to my gratitude and that of tbe cOllnt rv." Saturday's papers are chiefly fiilled with the deb:\le on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies, which commenced on the preceding day, and especially with the speech of M. de Lamartine, which was aimedat the genera! policy of the Ministers; from which, it is evi- dent, he has passed over to the Opposition There appears, however, no reason for believing that Ministers will not easily defeat the attempts of the Opposition. The debates continued through the sitting of Saturday, but the interest in them is beginning to flag even in Paris, and have little interest here, as little doubt remains that the address will be adopted. It is con- fidently stated at Paris that the French Government has sent in its ultimatum to the Spanish Government respecting the charges made against M. Lesseps, with instructions to the Duke de Glucksberg to leave the Spanish capital in eight days if he does not receive a satisfactory answer. Madrid papers of the 21st have been received. They announce the departure of MR. Southern, principal Secre'ary of the British Embassy at Lisbon, on his return to his post. According to the Corresponsal, he had visited Madrid in connection with the projected commercial treaty with England, but the Ministerial papers deny that his visit had any relation to that ques- tion. These journals are without any political news. The Leipsic Gazette of the 24th states, that the Ottoman Porte bad formally refused to authorize the establishment of a French Consulate at Sophia, inas- much as France possesses no commercial establishments In that country. Baron de Bourquency, the French Ambassador at Constantinople, proposed in consequence to apply for leave to appoint a Consul at Varna. Letters from Beyrout of the 31 st December state that the most perfect tranquillity prevailed in that neighbournood, and that the results of the adjustment happily obtained by Sir Stratford Canning from the Porte were most satisfactory. Advices from Alexandria to the 6th inst. announce the death of Ahmed Fetbi Pasha, the Turkish Admiral who delivered up the fleet to Mehemet AIL His death is stated to have been caused by poison, but by whom administered had not been ascertained. As he was about to return to Constantinople, it was surmised that the Pasha of Egypt was unwilling to have his secrets revealed to the Sultan or his Divan. The intelligence brought by the last packet from the United States, respecting the proceedings in Congress, is not of a favourable character. The Senate had or- dered a Bill to be engrossed for occupying and settling the territory of Oregon, assuming, it would appear, that the tittle of the United States to that district was cer ain. and that the Government would maintain their right. This is a very irregular, and, we must say. a very unfriendly mode of proceeding, as regards this country; and totally unwarranted, if we are to judge from the correspondence which took place between Lord Ashburton and Mr. Webster. It is in-consistent also wi h the Eastern Boundary Treaty, which left the question as to the North-Western Boundary open for settlement by Commissioners appointed for that pur- pose. Yet the Senate takes upon itself that duty with- out consulting the Government of this country, or ad- mitting any doubts whatever as to the right of the States to the whole territory. To make the affair more offensive, a Senator, of the name of Lin, was permitted to draw up the Bill, and also to make an unjustifiable attack on this country. Great Britain," he said "had no claim on the territory. She had made aggressions in that quarter, but het for one, would not submit to her aggressions. It had been her custom to go whither she would, and it was time that she was stopped." Had he substituted United States" for Great Britain" he would have spoken the truth but the charge against this country is totally unfounded, and the attempt thus to legislate, without making her a party, cannot fail to be regarded by our Government as a wanton stretch of power, and a complete departure from the friendly understanding which subsisted betweeu the two Pleni- potentiaries. Well may the New York papers express some anxiety as to the propriety of such a step, and Mr. Calhoun denounce it as an infringement of the Ashburton treaty.—The news in these papers from Mexico states that another revolution bad broken out there. It seems that the Federal party in Congress was too strong for Santa Anna, so be sent orders to break them up. They stood firmly, however. The American Commodore on the western coast of Mexico, hearing that war had begun between the Americans and Mexicans, took possession of Monterey, much to the astonishment of its inhabitants.—The advices from Canada state that the health of Sir C. Bagot had slightly improved. Her Majesty and Prince Albert and Royal House- hold attended Divine Service on Sunday in the Private Chapel of the Castle, when the Venerable Archdeacon "Wilberforce officiated. Her Majesty was informed on Saturday for the first time that the murderer of Mr. Drummond had admitted that he had imagined it was Sir Robert Peel whom he had shot, and not the unfor- tunate gentleman who had fallen a victim to the mur- derous attack of the prisoner. Her Majesty, upon this circums'ance being related to her, is said to have evinced the mr.st gratifying emotions at the providential escape of the Right Hon. Baronet, mingled with feel- ings of the deepest pain and regret for the melancholy fate of Mr. Drummond. TLIE, P.RINCESS Augusta of Cambridge has been at- TAC'VED wiih measles, but is going on favourably. The S J I'Y AT)d Gentry called at Cambridge House on rf arday and Sunday to learn the state of her Royal Highness received from Kew. The marriage of the Crown Prince of Hanover (our Prince George of Cumberland) with the Princess Mary of Saxe AUenbourg, eldestof the four daughters of his Serene Highness the Duke of SaxeAltenbourg, will be solemnised 111 the ensuing month, and that of the Princess Augusta of Cambridge with the Grand Here- ditary DUKE Mecklenburg-Strelitz, will also take place IN March next. 1 At the meeting of Parliament on Thursday next, we understand the Earl of Stanhope will move the follow- ing amendment to the Address" And to assure her Mfjcs.y that this House will take into its immediate and nrst serious consideration the present condition of the productive classes in the United Kingdom, with a view of providing for their pofitable employment, and for the due remuneration of their industry." Post. The Government are urging on those having the management of the Income-tax so as to get a receipt of the first half as speedily as possible. Also requiring to know the probable amount that will be raised in the first and second payments for last year, which ends on 6th April next. The installation of Mr. Fox Maule, as Lord Warden of the University of Glasgow, took place on Thursday, in the Common Hall. He was received with great enthusiasm. FUNEKAL, OF THE LATE MR. E. DRUMMOND.—The mortal remains of the above lamented gentleman were con- signed to their last resting place to-day, in the cluirch-yard ofChartton, near Woolwich, Kent. In aecordance with the expressed desire of the deceased's relatives, the funeral was conducted in the most private manner, and the mourners consisted solely of the members of the Drummond family. On arriving at the church-yard the body of the deceased gentleman was met by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Boscawen, vicar of Wotton, near Dorking, Surrey, who commenced reading the service for the burial of the dead. The church was fully attended by the most respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, all of whom appeared to be very much affected by the melancholy scene. The coffin having been placed in the centre aisle, the mourners took their seats, and the service proceeded. At the conclusion the mourners moved towards the vault prepared for the reception of the body at the eastern extremity of the church-yard. The circumstances under which the deceased met his death had an evident effect on those assembled, and the greatest sym- pathy was manifested by aU present. The three brothers ot the deceased were very much affected, and when the cofhn was lowered into the vault, the feelihgs of Colonel Drummond was completely overcome. The prayers being ended, the brothets took their last look at the coffin contain- ing the remains of their deceased relative, and soon after left the spot under feelings of the deepest emotion. The coffin was covered with black furniture, and surmounted by a brass plate, bearing the following inscription Edward Drummond, Esq., died 25th January,1843, attatis sure 50 MORE DISASTERS AT SKA.—Tbe fine skipper vach'. Arundel, hound for Hong Kong and Macao, took the Bround on Winchelsea track, Sussex, at half-past one o'clock; A M on Saturday, and soon after became a total wreck. Know- ing the hiffh character of the Arundel MI a sailing vessel, the pilot presumed too much, and ran in nearer to the shore than prudence dictated. The escape of the crew was miraculons. The Arundel was once one of the Royal Yacht Sqnadron, and a fine specimen of naval architecture.—On Frilay night, a Greek brig was lost near Plymouth crew saved.— On Saturday, a Spanish vesset drove against the cliffs at Beachy head, and nine out of thirteen men composing the crew were drowned.—The splendid war-steamer Ariadne E.I.C., was wrecked on the 23d of Jnne, near the entrance'! of Chusan harbour. She was constructed upon a new principle for the purpose of navigating the Chinese rivers. She was lost in consequence of striking upon a rock daring the operations prior to the storming and capture of the town of Woosung. Her officers are to be tried by a courb- martial.

.oøtøtttpt. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1: The Paris journals of Monday have been received. The discussion on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies was continued, but without being marked by any incident of moment. Some of the Paris papers are furious to see the common sense and common honesty of M. Giiizot so justly appreciated at our side of the Channel, and they assert that the Minister has found the means of corrupting their Lon. don cohtempcrnries.—According to these papers, Abd-el- Kader, after fifty defeats, is as active and powerful as ever. He has suddenly attacked th° new settlements in the inte- rior, and caused the greatest consternation. General Bu. geaud must, therefore, prepare a new expedition to put down, if he can, this restless and enterprising chieftain. A letter from Algiers, dated the 20th nit., gives the follow. ing account of his late operations:—" After a razzia upon the Atals, he was successful in inducing all the neighbour- ing tribes who bad made their submission to join him that he had entered Tenez after the departure of the French, and had punished with the utmost rigour all the chiefs of tubes in that district, who had submitted to the Governor. General." According to this letter he was inspiring great terror, and had undone in a few days all that the French had been labouring to do as regarded the subjection of the Arabs in as many months. THE ASSASSINATION OF MR, DRUMMOND.—The wit- nesses connected with the late murder of M) .E. Drummond were examined this morning in the Grand Inquest Chamber. At half-past 12 o'clock the Glane) Jnrv entered the New Court with several indictments, and the first presentation made was—" A true bill against Daniel M'Naughten for Wilful Murder."

MR- MUSHET, the Author of the celebrated Treatise on the Manufacture of Iron and Steel, who has made a Series of most elaborate Experiments on this extra, ordinary Iron, which combines all the facilities of Cast Iron, with much of the strength and elasticity of Steel; in eoncludiug his Report, remarks— From these, and the former comparative experiments, it „ abundantly evident, that the Pig Iron now making at the Ystaly. fera Iron Works, with Cold Blast and Anthracite, greatly n. "ceeds in strength, in deflective power, and capacity to resist impact, any Iron at this time manufactured in the United Kingdom. It now remains for me to mention a property peculiar to this Iron.—The property referred to is one of great springiness or "elaiticily, which communicates a tendency to the bar in de- flection and breaking to resume its rectangular form. Bars that bad obtained a permanent set of 2-IOtbs, when afterwards broken, presented but a slight deviation from a right lint, and in no ca«e did the acquired curvature exceed one-fourth of a tenth. It was also remarked, that most of the fractures in breaking presented a regularity of grain throughout, resembling the structure of unllllrdelltd stal. (Signed) DAVID MUSHET." The following comparisons of the Ystaly fera Coal Blast An- thracite Iron with other Irons, are drawn from Mr. Musbet's trial and report :— The Ystalvfera Cold Blast Anthracite Iron, AS cad from the furnace, is 3G 8»10ths per cent, stronger than the Yniscedwin Hot Blast Furnace Iron, as tried by him in 1838, made with mixed Anthracite and cokes for fuel. It is 22 3-8ths stronger than the Yniscedwin Hot Blast Iron, when Anthracite alone was the futl Remelted in the cupola, the Ystalyfera Cold Blast Anthracite Iron was found stronger than the Yniscedwin Hot Blast Iron re- melted in cupola, by 28 7.10th per cent. The Ystalyfera Anthracite Cold Blast Furnace Iron surpassed Tredgold's average of remelted Irons by 22 l-3d per cent. Remelted in an air furnace it surpassed Tredgold's artra?» k 36 5 per cent. S y Remelted in cupola with Anthracite it surpassed Tredpol l'« average by 58 per cent. 6 ,u 8 Compared with tbe streng'h and elasticity of the Iron made bv them at Ystalyfera, by Hot Blast, as ascertained by Mr. Richard Evans, in an exlensive series of most able experiments their COLD BLAST Iron is superior when remelted in cupola In strength 35 8-101h per cent. Indenection 24 3 10th per cent. In power to resist impact 60 I-4th per cenl. As compared with Mr. Fairburn's well-known Tabteof Results on Cast Iron, the Ystalyfera Cold Blast Anthracite Iron was found superior to the average of Hot Blast Irons in Fairburn's Tables— In strength 417-lOlhpercent. In deflection 24 6.1Oth per cent. In power 10 resist impact 79 per cenl. To Fairburn's average of Cold Blast Irons it was lIoperior- In strength 44 7.1(11h per cent. In deflection •• 18 6. 10th per cent. In power to resist impact 68 2-10111 pH cent. The YSTALYFERA IRON COMPANY beg to call the attention of Engineers, Ironfounders, Railway Managers, &c., to the extra- ordinary merits of their Patent Elastic and Steel Iron, as djg. played in Mr. Musbet's Experiments. As complaints are now universal of the weakness of modern Piit Iron, they hope they have supplied a metal deserfing to he received and olassed in the arts, as strong and elastic Machinery Iron. In remelting, fusibility, soundness, extent of shrinkage, and toughness in turning, it is all the Ironfounder and Engineer can desire. The Neath Abbey Iron Company authorize the Ystalyfera Iron Company to refer to them for its working qualities in the Foolldr, and Lathe. The Ystalyfera Iron Company recommend their No. 3 as an Iron peculiarly calcolated to rernelt with Scotch Hot Blast Pic Iron, to which it imparts elasticity and fibre. They recommend their No. 2 as an Iron for Ihe best purposes it is very grey, but from ils strength carries a honey-combed far-e. The Ystalyfera Iron Company are prepared 10 execute, with dispatch, Orders for Railway Chairs, Cast Rails, Translates, Cast Wheels, aud similar articles, for which their Elastic Steel Iron it singularly adapted. Their prices are very mederate. Ystalyfera Iron Works, Swansea, 22d Nov.1842. £ 300. TllE above Sum is wanted on MORTGAGE (at £ 4 per Cent. Interest) of FREEHOLD PROPERTY in Swansea.

TNnia SWANSEA. FRIDAY, FEB. 3. — — hT" Mr. Broagh's letter on the use of Anthracite. and that of A Swansea Cornfa-tor" must stand over for a week. TUe graphic sketch of the Great Anti-Corn-law Soiree at Bristol," furnished by an old and respected Correspondent reached us too late for publication in our present number*. We beg to remind him, Ihnt the late alterations in the arrival" of the mails, limit our time considerably on Fridays to pre- pare our paper for press, and that, consequently, articles of anv length, if not forwarded earlier in the week than by the last post, must he deferred until the ensuing week. THE OPENING OF THE PAKLIAMENTAUY SESSION. By the time this week's Cambrian is in the hands of our readers, the Session will have commenced. At all times there is something or other attending the meeting of Parliament calculated to awaken feelings of interest throughout the intelligent part of the public. Just now we need not say peculiar interest attaches itself to the occasion, inasmuch as fresh difficulties now encompass the path of legislation, as the political horizon assumes a more dismal aspect. Thoughtful men, men of ex- perience, prophesy no good from the reign of the Tories :—" our greatness has departed from us—our race is run—England's renown. like the renown of Carthage, Tyre, and Rome," we are told, is consum- mated—its decadence is at hand." If these be the re- flections which true wisdom suggests, then, indeed, is our case lamentable—it is not destitute of apparent probability. Many circumstances concur to indicate the approaching fall in our national prosperity: Heaven avert the storm We are inclined, however to deduce no such desponding reflections as those just repeated-tbey are the hallucinations of too dejected a seer-we recognise nothing sufficiently clear to he lieve tbe dismal forboding. There is a means 0f escape—the hurricane may be avoided—the lightr,^ is deprived of its destructive powers by the arrange*- ment of human wisdom. The conductor, too, may yet be devised to protect us from the fearful elements which threaten to overwhelm our national prosperity and scatter Britain's greatness to the winds. In t}]J hands of the Ruler of the Universe are the issues of all things-be overlooks, we are assured, the destinies of empires. The potentates of our globe obey uncon- sciously his mandate. The powers that be, we have authority for believing, are ordained by him. Would that those in authority were duly impressed with this sa- lutary belief. What a mass of vicious legislation would have been prevented-what iniquitous decisions would have been kept from our statute-book were all influ- enced by it. What injury the human family has sus- tained by reason of legislators acting in defiance of this-by consulting their own caprices, their sordid and shortsighted interest, to the prejudice of those whosu interests they professed to protect! Let us hope, how- ever, this privileged wickedness and folly is at an end. Let us look to the new session as the dawn of better things-when right and integrity are to prevail over injustice and fraud. If this expectation be justified, we may venture to look to a better state of things in Britain, and to discredit the unfavourable predictions ill which many now indulge. M'NAUGHTEN'S CASE.—In the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday last, a "true bill" was found by the rand Jury against this criminal, for the assassina- tiolJ of Mr. Drummond. We have no wish to say any thing, either in proof or extenuation of the guilt of tb<* wTrr^ -man' T'lere is obviously no ground upon ™ '.C defence can be constructed besides that erive from his insanity. Of this fact, a jury of we ve of his countrymen will have to decide. It i* I m"C <0 be Ianjented that the state of the law with j respect to insanity is at present in a very unsatisfactory e* t is notorious to all, that the condition of the mind is one of ,he most subtle topics which can engage attention, and we are all conscious of this troml our own feelings. No man, not even the wisest, can reflect upon himself, and experience less than doubt l respecting the operations of his sentient faculties. Varous stages of mental incapacity are known to exist. Some are born, and others experience, mental derangement at intervals, regulated by the state of their bodily health, climate, diet, and perhaps a variety of other unknown causes.' The power of the hallucination also varies. Some are more under this sort of influence ? Wi,h 8°me 113 P— ^solute,y iTre- sisttble-— they are totally powerless agents. retain certain capability for,reasonable reflection and action. At what point does criminal insanity be-in? This question is undecided by the law of England at the present time. It were well were it settled bv the dictum of competent authority. »
