There are few facts of interest to be fotmMi the Paris journals, but they contain a more than weram iuantily of comment, stricture, and speculation.

NewI yorr.—On the last day of the old year great mo- ney pnflsure tras felt in New York. Several of the banks refused|to receive checks 011 other banks in deposit. Im- mense lums^fl consequence, which it had been customary to iiquHate by entries on the books of the banks, had to be-drajrn ostein bills. Some of the banks were exhausted of bills although a special effort was made to keep up the supply|by signing them as fast as possible. This incident: is treated by the New York Journal of Commerce as of little importance, any further than as it shows how neces- sary it: is to attend to that department of the currency called pfiecEsy These, it is contended, immensely lessen the daggers of bank transactions. "The refusal to take checksjtu deposit as is usual," adds the Journal, put the last stfeirt uppn the mercantile strength of the city, as it prevented all fiction in payments, and compelled every man to furnish real cash. The merchants have now been provediin at! sorts of ways, and by quadruple powers, and stood tlie test." CASTUBE OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL BY RUSSIA.— Con- slunthwple, Dec. 28.—The captain of a merchantman, which arrived here last week from Kersch, has at length brought us intelligence of the fate of the Vixen. It appears that she has been captured by the Russians. After pro- ceeding "to Sondjah Kale, the part of Abassia between Anapa and GeHnjek, where an unsuccessful descent, as I wrote (o you some months ago, was made by the Russian troops,. she had already-discharged the greater part of her ^go,consisting of salt, and not of gunpowder, as was erronegu^j&rfated before,, when a Russian ship of war atftf ra|ifc Pell-th^ merchant and supercargo, the captain, and crew. The latter were taken on the 81hinatant to Kaffa, in the Crimea, and the vessel to Sebastopol. I shall not attempt to describe the sensation produced here by this direct vio- lation of the law of nations—this flagrant outrage on the British flag. From Samsoun, Sinope, and Trebizonde, all accounts concur in representing the excitement that pre- vails along the whole coast of the Black Sea as unprece- dented. Accustomed—as the inhabitants of these coun- tries have been-to the tyrannical violence with which Russia has trampled upon their rights arid interests—to the frivolous and hypocritical pretexts under which she has endeavoured to extinguish the commercial relations which had connected the shores of the Euxine for centu- ries-they had still expected to see our flag respected for this last act of reckless audicity they were wholly unpre- pared. The appearance of the Vixen had been deemed deeisive of the question of blockade. It was considered as virtually raised nor was it for a moment imagined that Russia would dare to pick up the gauntlet which England had deliberately thrown down. She has done so, never- theless, and now all eyes are directed with intense anxiety to the latter. May the course she adopts be worthy of the present crisis, her position, character, and former fame. The consequences which would ensue from a weak and temporising policy, at a moment when nothing but deci- sion and energy will avail, are too painful and alarming to contemplate. SLAVERS TAKEN.—The success of two of his Majesty's ships in captuiing vessels engaged in the nefarious, the most inhuman traffic in the blood and sinews of our fel- low-man, is noticed in the following manner in the IVest Indian (a Barbadoes paper) of the 31st of October:- "The Buzzard, a British cruizer, has captured seven slavers, with 2673 Africans on board, between the 17111 of December, 1834, and the 4th of June last. The Vestal, within the last twelve months, has taken four vessels of this description, with nearly 1600 unfortunate captives to the cupidity of the Portuguese and Spanish traders. These instances of the perseverance and skill of the commanders and crews of those vessels are worthy of commemoration." —Jamaica Gazette.

By a letter, received on Friday from Berlin, we learn that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and seventeen of their household, are sniTt r- ing from the epidemic raging in the Prussian capital. It also states that upwards of 50,000 inhabitants of Berlin and its suburbs are confined to their rooms by the serious visitation. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, who, for many sessions past, has always been present at the meeting of Parliament will not return to England for a month or six weeks. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. Fitzsimon, M.P. for the county Dublin, Messrs. Morgan OConnel!, M.P. for Aleatli, John O'Connell, M.P. for Youghal, and Doc- tor Nugent, sailed for England by the Holyhead mail on Monday aiorning.

The sportsman leaped from his carriage and discharged a shot at the animal, which wounded it in the head; he then un- dressed, and swimming to the spot, returned with his game in tow, which he brought to Inverness. Mr. Mac- kenzie was on this occasion accompanied by Lieutenant Otter, one of the officers of the Coast Survey, at present in this quarter, and Mr. W. Grant, who were not a little gra- tified at witnessing the dexterity and intrepidity of the young Jportsman.— Inverness Courier. Nrcs DISTINCTIONS OF THE LAW. —A man and woman, named Curtis and Ponton, were lately indicted for stealmg twenty pounds of mutton, belonging to the Marquefs of Bath. Oil an objection taken by the prisoners' Counsel, the Chairtpan said that it had been given in evidence that the Marquess had lost a sheep, but had not lost any mut- ton therefore the prisoners must be acquitted, which was accordingly done. BUnchard and Blandford were in- dicted for entering Lord Rivers' preserves armed with a gun and bludgeon, for the purpose of destroying game; the prisoners' Counsel took an objection to the in lictment, which was held to be fatal, that they were not armed with a bludgeon for the purpose of killing game, but of defending themselves against the keepers," and the prison- ers were acquitted.— Taunton Courier. TilE HArHERTolS TESTIMONIAL.—The superb piece of plate, purchased by the subscriptions of Lord Hathertou's late constituents, was presented to him at Teddcsley, on WednesdaJ-j by E. lluller, Esq., and a deputation, on lie- half of theisubscribers.

MILITIA.—The circular lately issued from the IIome- office to the Lord-Lieutenants of counties by command of his Majesty, ordering that the uniform of the officers of the Militia of the united kingdom shall in future be laced in silver, and that the.officers of such legimsnts as are royal shall wear by way of distinction, silver embroidery instead of lace." This circular was considered necessary, as when the former one was issued, immediately before the calling out the Militia for training in 1831, when the officers of the Militia- were first ordered to wear silver lace, there was an exception then made by special permission in favour of the three Royal Lancashire regiments, or "Duke of Lancaster's own Militia," who were permitted to wear gold lace as heretofore. This royal distinction was supposed not to have been looked upon in a very fa- vourable light by this arm of the service generally, but paiticularly by those regiments belonging to the loyal county of York (the rival Rose). His Majesty, therefore, with his accustomed good sense and feeling, has been graciously pleased to command the above circular to be issued to his Lieutenants to be communicated to the offi- cers of the regiments in their respective counties, by which the whole of the Militia of the United Kingdom will be placed on the same footing. Of the 129 regiments of Mi- litia, there are 39 of them royal regiments, the Staff' of every regiment consists at present, on an average, of one adju- tant, one sergeant-major, 10 seijeiiiis- total, 12. A short time since a woman who resided alone at Den- ver was murdered, and her house robbed, but the murder- ers could not be traced till lately, when from a singular combination ofcircumstances three men wereapprehended, and there is every probability their gllilt will be established. EXMOUTII.- EIGIIf LIVES LosT.- Tuesday, as Mr. Print), his son and two .daughters, with four sons of Mr. Pine, a waterman, of Exmouth,were coming ashore fiom a brig lying in the bight, about eight in the evening, they were unfortunately drowned by the upsetting of the boat. The bodies of the two girls and that of one of Mr. Pine's sons have been picked up.— Western Times. REMARKABLY SUDDEN DEATH.—At East Brent, on Sunday week, as the Rev. Mr. Rocket was performing the burial service, and reading that beautiful passage, "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust," Joseph Day, the sexton, while in the act of sprinkling the earth upon the coffin, dropped at the side of the grave, and immediately expired. The clergyman's son, a surgeon, attempted to bleed him, but it was perfectly useless; the vital stream had ceased to now. The deceased was 76 years old, and had been sex- ton 20 years.—Bristol paper. I!EXPO-EL.BAcpEI.OKS' COMMENCEMENT. — It remits from r'etetit r^aBiinaiiou for -Sr'grees at* <jfwnbrid"Bi University that the following individuals are the first men of this year at their respective colleges :Griffin (Senior Wrangler), of St. John's Green, of Caius; Gregory, of Trinity; liaven, of Magdalen; Pullin, of Corpus; Hey- nolds, of Queen's; Crauford, of Jesus; Elwin, of Pein- broke; Dalton, of Caius Holmes, of Catherine; Iiell, of Clare Osbourne, of Sydney Routh, of Christ's Heath, of Trinity IIall; Gilbert, of Emmanuel; Freeman, of Peter's. The coal-masters in the neighbourhood of Wakefield have it in contemplation to advance the price of coals from Id to 41d per cwt., on account of the unprecedented de- 4 maud, and the scarcity of workmen. Upwards of 100 vessels, we are informed, are at present waiting for cargoes, a short distance from Wakefield.—Leamington Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF CARMARTHEN.—David Morris, Esq., late banker, of Carmarthen, having acceded to the requisition of a most numerous body of electors of that borough and Llanelly, in the Liberal interest, to offer him- self as a candidate at the next dissolution of Parliament, has nearly completed a most successful canvass of the con- stituency. No doubt now remains of Mr. Morris's return; and his friends, accordingly,are in the highest spirits. SL'GAH MARKET.—Our anticipations of lower prices have been realised this week by a further decline of six- pence to a shilling in West India sugars, and of eighteen- pence in Mauritius and Bengals. Our own market re- mains in the same dull, uninteresting state; very few samples having been exhibited, and of those only one or two trifling lots lots have found buyers, which have been taken from necessity. It is impossible for the trade, in the present relative state of the maikets, to extend their purchases; sugars must either advance in London and Liverpool, of which there seems 110 rational prospect, or ours must come down nearly to the level of the others, un- less it can be shewn that the stock of sugars on hand is limited to a quantity that can be disposed of within a dis- trict necessarily and absolutely dependent on Bristol, at an average of three shillings above London; and this, we think, events will prove to be impossible. Whilst the London and Liverpool houses can make the field of com- petition with us so near as Gloucester on the one hand, and South Wales on the other, the result will demonstrate that we have not exaggerated the difficulties of our mar- ket, nor the prospects of advantage to any parties who may consider it their duty to avai) thcmseivcs of the talents and energy of the Bristol tradesmen by sending sugars here for sale. A casual consignment might be considered a mere speculation, attended with some hazard; it is from a regular increased supply, enabling Bristol, with toler- able certainty, to command the custom of towns within its scope (many of which are of considerable magnitude, and now scarcely ever think of us), that success is to be en- y I sured. To recover a lost customer is always attended witli-a sacrifice; to keep him on fair terms, when obtained, is the usual and legitimate course of business.- Bi,istot Mercury. EXTENSIVE DESTRUCTION OF SHEF.P.—We regret to announce that Mr. D. Bridgewater of Boatside,near Hay, has sustained a most severe loss (to the amount, it is cal- culated, of nearly £300) amongst his sheep. On the 19th inst., 57 ewes in yean, most of them with two, and many with three lambs, out of a flock of 204, were destroyed it is thought, by one dog only. Mr. Bridgewater, we un. derstand, was afterwards obliged to kill twentv seven more in consequence of the great injuries they had re- ceived. The dog has not yet been found out.—Silurian. The sloop Brothers of Swansea, lJase, master, on the night of the 8th inst., sank at her moorings in the harbour of Appledore, the anchor of the brig Peter and Sarah, having pierccd through'her bottom. The men had a very providential escape from a watery grave; it came on to blow hard in the night, when one of the crew awoke, got upon deck to see how the vessel rode, and then made some fire to warm himself instead of returning to bed.' The accident happened at the same time, when he alarmed his ship-mates, and they saved themselves by taking to the boat.— Cambrian. POACHERS.—On the 18th ult., about seven o'clock in the afternoon, shots were heard in the preserves of Sir Thos. Winnington, Stanford Court, Worcestershire, upon which his keeper collected s^feral men, in addition to the usual assistants, and went in pursuit of the supposed poachers. The woods were searched in vain, but in an adjoining one, the property of Col. Charlotte, one of the party being in advance, he met two men with guns, and on his speaking to them they turned from him and took to their heels: he pursued them, though unarmed, for about twenty yards, when lie fell over some obstiucting body, upon which the poachers stopped, and, as he was rising, one of them shot at and wounded the fallen man. Fortu. nately the shot onlystiuck his side and thigh in an oblique direction, and although severely wounded, he is rapidly recovering. The poachers for the time escaped, though pursued by the rest of the party, but one man, Edward Davis, has since been committed to the county gaol, to take his trial at the next assizes, for the ,¡Q4-p murderous attempt, and police clfimsw itt pursuit "of'another fellow implicated in the'affair. We under .stand that the person shot is a house servant of Sir Thomas Vv'inuuigton's. The King has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. George Baron Abercromby to be Lieutenant and Sheriff- Principal of the shire of Stirling, in the room of James Duke of Montrose, deceased. The Gazette of Tuesday contains the order in Cornnul for the transference of the Archdeaconry of Coventry to the Diocese of Worcester; and also that the present Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, aDd his successors, shall hence- forward be styled Bishop of Lirbfield.

On Wednesday se'nnight the house-warming dinner at the Green Dragon Hotel, Hereford, took place, when nearly 200 friends of the worthy host, Mr. John Bosley, sat down to a sumptuous repast-E. D. Clive, M.P. in the chair, and Dr. Bleeck I,ye, vice-president. A most pleasant evening was passed by the numerous company, and success to the land lordtoasted in bumpers. Dr. Abraham, tlie R01 13ishop of Water- ford, died in that city, on Monday night, after a few days* illness, from inflammatory sore throat. THE NEW MARKET, BRIDGEND.—This desideratum to the prosperous town af Bridgend is progressing rapidly. I REFEIIMENT. On Thursday se'iiiilglit, tile Rev. Henry W. Bowles Daubney, B.A., was licensed by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, to the newlyconsecrated church of St. Matthew, at Ebley, in the parish of Stoner house, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. The Rev. George Traherne, M.A., was last week in- ducted into the Rectory of St. George's, in this county, on the presentation of his father, Llewellyn Trahcrne, Esq., of St. Hilary.'—Ibid. J v Mr. George Webb Hall has been unanimously elected to the office of Registrar and Clerk to the Bristol "Court of Conscience," by the Commissioners of that Court. NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BANK.—On Monday a meeting of shareholders or proprietors of the Northern^ and Central Bank was held at Ladyman's Hotel Man- chester, convened by circular, dated 27th of December 1836, to confirm a certain agreement entered into by the Directors with the Governor and Directors of the Bank of England, by which, in consideration of a loan to them they have undertaken to discontinue their business after the Is- of February next until the debt due to the Bank of England shall be repaid. After some discussion the agreement with the Bank of England confirmed'. It appeared the Northern and Central Bank possess ample funds to meet all demands against tin; cunc^rii, and fulfil the contract with the Bank of Eugl.md. MURDER.—A shocking inimiei was last night disco- vered to have been committed in the house of Messrs Calswortl)y and Nielcls, Cook's-co,t, ('ar(,V-Street. Both these gentlemen have private residences, and one of them having appointed to transact business at the offices, he went there yesterday, but could not get ill. Mr. Nichols returned to his residence at Pentonville, and in the even- ing the husband of the housekeeper came and said his at- tendance was required at Cook's-court. He accordingly repaired thither, and found the housekeeper murdered in the kitchen. Her head was beaten in by some heavy in- strument, and she was placed in a chair. At the time (six o'clock) the body was quite warm. Suspicion fell on the husband, and he was taken into custody. He admitted that he had had some words with the deceased. The body remains in the house to await the Coroner's inquest. EXTENSIVE FAILURE IN THE CLOTHING TRADE.—We regret to announce that the old established firm of Messrs. Sheppard and Son, of Uley, Gloucestershire, have been compelled to suspend their payments. A fiat of bank- ruptcy has been issued. In consequence of the stoppage of these mills a great number of hands will be thrown out of employ, and the event will be seriously felt by the in- dustrious classes of that district. It having been determined by the Town Council of Gloucester, that its sittings shall in future be open to the public, a considerable number of the inhabitants were pre- sent at the meeting on Tuesday. The question which oc- cupied the greater pari of the day was a report of the com- mittee of the Charity Trustees, from which it appeared iTfey hatf di^bveret^ttiar-in th*x> fYT^rilinn wjrongfttlly transferred a principal sum of £ 7(X)Twith lip_ wiards of 40 years' interest at 5 per cent., making toceUief nearly £2500 from llir funds of Sir Thomas Rich's charity to another account. A Jong debate ensued on this sub- jOLt, as to how the charity was to be repaid the money A motion was eventually made that the Town Clerk be instructed to draw up a case for the opinion of Sir Wm Follett on the subject. The Council was then adjoimwd until Monday, the 23d instant. From the 1st January to the 31st of December 1836 both inclusive, the quantity of Iron carried on the' Mon- mouthshire Canal and Tram Roads to Newport and on the Glamorganshire Canal to Cardiff, amounted to 266 828 tons, of which quantity Messrs. Bailey sent 39 975'and the Dowlais Company 34,549 tons.—On the Glamorgan- shire Canal during the above period there were ea*ripd of Coal 192,211 tons. CAUTION TO RELIEVING OFFICERS.— Mr. Watnen late relieving officer of the Brecon District, under the new Pc or Law Bill, has been dismissed from his situation for neglect of duty, in not providing a sick pauper with me- dical assistance when required.—Mr. Morgan has been nj pointed to the office. TVBACCO AND SEGARS AS SIIIP STORES.—The following owin notic, s have just been issued by the customs :-Tobacco as Str res—By Treasury letter, dated 16th January 1837, the regulati ii which requires manufactured tobacco in- tended to be shipped as stores on board outward-bound vessels, to be packed in the presence of an Excise officer is to be dispensed with and tobacco intended to be shinl ped as stores is allowed to be removed from the manufac- tun r's premises into the custody of the officer of customs with an Excise permit only. Segars, the unconsumed stores of passengers—By Customs order, dated 7th Jan 1837, it is directed that the practice observed at the port of London, as regards the admission to entry of secars tie unconsumed stores of passengers, be adopted at th* out ports viz. that passengers arriving from the Conti- nen', or other short voyages, be permitted to enter anv quantity of segars under three pounds weight and that passengers from the East or West Indies, or otherdistallt voyages, be permuted to enter any quantity of segars not ex(«eding seven pounds weight, without special Loca- tion to the Board. THE litON TU ADK.-Nme morcfamaeesin Staffordshire and Shropshire are blown out this week which with what has been previously extinguished, will red net from the weekly manufacture of the kingdom 5000 tons, MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—On Sunday there were numerous funerals proceedings all the burial grounds in and around London. The mournful processions ex tended in long lines to the respective cemeteries followed in many instances by troops of friends of the deceased who were too poor to pay for sable garments. Those of the working class and members of benefit societies were con veyed to their last bourn by their breiheren of the club to which they belonged others acting as pall-bearers A nu merous concourse of spectators assembled around the church-yards, admittance being denied them by the po- licemen, to prevent confusion, and their earnest conversa lion and anxious countenances showed the deen f entertained by them at the ravages of death tL '"F of St. Pancras afforded a melancholy spectacle nearly every street a funeral train might be seen proeeT- ing-and in a few hours 36 coffins were borne to the old churchyard, and 24 to the other in the St. Panera«-ro»d being an increase of 16 over last week. At five o'clock ihe gates were closed, and the sextons directed a fresh body of men to prepare no less than 30 more grares in the 3)d ground-Ilotices to that number having been given of proprosed interments this day (Monday). Twenty five Tiay be taken as an average of the daily burials in th 9 ar.e ground for the last fortnight! The inclemency of thP day, the continued fall of snow and rain, which appear, d seriously to affect the mourners, heightened the solemnity of the awful scenes.— Morning Herald of Tuesday lhe Renfrewshire election is decided, by a majority o; ubout 70, against btr John Maxwell, the Whig candidate.
