DOMESTIC NEWS. CONSPIRACY TO TAKE a CONVICT SHIP,—Intelligence has just been received of an intended massacre of the of- ficers and ciii'tans on board the Eliza, government trans port, which sailed from her Majesty's Royal Arsenal, Wot 1 wich, a few months since, wllh convict" for South Australia It appears, as the vessel neared the line, a murdeiouscon- spiracy existed among some of the convicts, which would have terminated, no doubt, in the certain destruction of those marked down as their victims. TIlt: were two hun. dred and sixty-seven convicts on board, ai. ong whom was a soldier who had been transported !or fou teen years foi striking a serjcant. lie privately sent a to the sur- neon, informing bun of the intended outbreak on the morn. ing of March that the design was to pus to death all the soldiers, officers, and passengels, and such o< the crev\ as offered the least resistance and then to steer for thf Brazilian coast. The man was prudently conveyed to the cabin, so as not to excite suspicion; where he was mi- nutely examined by the surgeon and captain. He nevei varied in his statemerit,and so answered all the interroga- tories put to him left bo doubt on the minds of the hearers ef tub intended horrors. Extra s-ntinels wert immediately posted, and at three o'clock on tbe eventful morning, the passengers and crew were summoned on the deck, when their situation was explained to them, and all, uejn then well armed, were ordered to defend their lives to the last. The morning, our correspondent writes, was calm and beautiful—not a whisper hea.d on the mighty deep; when suddenly eight bells announced that the mur- derous conflict was to lake place. The prisoners Were well organised, and armed with iron bolts apd other weapons stolen from the ship's stores. The surgeon, with all the Ilallantryof the navy, was unwilling to sacrifice the life cf the serjeant whose duty it was to open the convicts' gate at four o'clock—all was breathless anxiety, when the sur- geon himself advanced to the gate, ordering a couple cf file of soldiers to advance and shoot the first person wlu dared topass, except the one he named. They at once perceived that their plot was discovered, retired to their berths, and threw all the bolts and offensive weapons out of the ports into the sea. Had the collision taken plate the loss of life would have been dreadful. The ringleader was a young man of the name of Dickenson, who had been an apothecary's assistant in Thavies'-inn, Holborn. He was a desperate opium-eater. He leaped overboard immediately after the discovery, and 110twithstandingevery exertion to save him he was drowned. Every precaution was adopted for iSe'security of the convicts, who were handed over to the tin! powtr on i• nval. ANOTHER SHOCKING MURDER TIITERAKY.—The Lipperury Constitution of a late da e cor,mi the follow- ing:—"On Tuesday evening a party u twelve armed men proceeded to the lands of Ballyshe?ban, near Clog- heen, tor the purpose of obtaining possession of some de- crees which had been got by a Kerrymcn, for money due to him. He lodged in a house near wo others. The party placed sentinels at these two hoises; the owner ot one of them named Jvittery, a respectalle man, came out of his house, hearing that armed men vere in his yard- he was immediately shot, and died in tie alln ot his wife DEATH or A MISER.—An old mar aged sixty-eight, named William Ashers, residing at the tillage of Costock, and well known in the neighbourhood f Nottingham as a penurious eccentric character, having fone sante distance from his house on Saturday last to fetci coals in a barrow, I because he got them a half-penny cheiper than in the ul- lage, became so fatigued that he fell dnvn and died. The I villagers, knowing his miserly properties, eot into hi house, searched it, but lound nothing. His nearest relations employed Mr. Samuel Mapies.a solicitor 01 Nottingham to go over the lit use with them, and ttie result oi his more 1 careful search enabled him to find 10 less than thirteen hnndred pounds' worth of propeity in notes, securities, plate, See. To describe the singula) spots in whieh prc- i perty was secreted would be an erdless task; a silver watch was found secreted,ln a inalt-nrill mouth; a splendid silver tankard was hid in a beam: plate, jewellery, and money, in holes and crannies that vould be passed by a Bow-street officer. Deeds, showing lis title to laud,houses, &c., which he kept most secret, wer; found to the amount of £2,000, BRIGHTON, SUNDAY,—Fatal Accident on the London and Brighton Railway.—Yesterda/ morning about hall- past 'our, the following dreadful accident occurred on the London and Brighton Railway — 'i appears that a ballast engine, called the Venus, Job Smith engine driver, was proceeding towards Brighton. lh arriving near tlip Red Hill station one of the company'! servants named Tulii-t, came out of his cottage by the side of the railway, and held up his lamp to stop the engiie, to give instruction to the driver. The steam was shut of fand the break put on, but TuSlett, it is supposed, got on the same line with the engine. Smith, the driver, saw the unfortunate man's lan- tern knocked down the embankment, and immediately ex- claimed to the firemen, We have run over Teillett." Every exertion was made to stop the enine, but the whole train passed over him. Tuiiett was picked up and carried into his own cottage; he prestritcd a frightful spectacle, thp top and bark pal t of his head were literally cut off, leaving his face uninjured. Although the whole train passed over him none of his limbs were broken, the df- ceased heln knocked down between the metals. Tulert totally unprovided for. BRISTOL SUGAII MARKET. Feb. \st, 1843.—The demand for all descriptions of British Plantation Sugars has been extremely limited during the week, and'foi everything except good and tine descriptions (of which very few samples offer), pricer are again somewhat lower. The accounts continue favourable from West Indies for the sugar crop. The Sybilla with tej: thousand bags of sugar is expected daily from the Mauritius, A Travelled CAT.— There is at present in this lown in the possession of Mr. Lucey, on the Lor don-road, a remarkably fine cat, whose travels may almost lay chim io a place in the records of history by the Ide of the cele- brated navigator, Captain Cooke. Originally from China, Ids native land, he has made four voyages to the East In- dies, and twice sailed round the globe, having altogether 1 (ravelled upwatds of a hnndred and tiliy thousand miles; a circumstance, we should suppose unprecedented in the annals of the feline species, l'uss is very handsome and docile, his colour gray, marked with dark stripes, and his age between ten and eleven years.—Derby Mcrcury. DOVEH, JAN. 28.— The Great Blast at the South East- Railway.— Subsequent to the blowing up of Round Down cliff, on Thursday last, by the terrific quantity of 18,000 pounds of gunpowder, a gentleman took a scramble over the immense ruins that lie at its base, covering about twenty broad acres, alld extending a quarter of a mile into 'he sea, and states, that a more rugged surface than it pre- sents can hardly be conceived. It more resembles, in facf. tfie effect of some (earful convulsion of nature, than these which could have been looked for as having helI psoduced by any power which mortal man could have called into action. The quantity 01 material removed is estimated at One mill iOIl tons. THE CF-NTRIIXOAL RAILWAY" EXHIBITION.—We; regret to lea n that a very serious accident occurred a few days ago at Manchester. A lady, named Brindle, had placed herself in the carriage for the purpose of being whirled round, when, owing to some obstruction in the passage, it was precipitated to the gn urid, a short distance irom the starting point. The lady was thiown out,and the carriage failing upon her, her thigh was brohll, and she sustained other serioris injuiies. She was conveyed home,and medical ntiemen were promptly in attendance, She was also attended by her own adviser, but we under- stand that she is not yet out of dangei.— Mandicstcr j Guardian. Joshua Jacob, the reader of the extraordinary sect de- i nominated White Quakers, has been arrested and is now in custody in Dublin. He is charged with havjn-j fraudu- lently obtained the sum of from one ci his female converts. The late Thot: js Bolfield, Esq of Hopton Court, hav- ing died without isue, hIS extensive estates devolve j upon his nephew Boriah Botfield, Esq., M.P., for Ludlow. Owing to the great reduction which has taken place in the price of butchers' meat, private soldieis are now ena- bled to mess themselves at a reduction in the expenses of from twenty to twenty-five per cent. The difference in the price of meat and bread now, as compared with what it was in January, 1842, affords each private an extra shil- hng a week to spend upon himself. It is now staled HI Westminster Hall that another efiort is about to be made to throw open the Court of Common Pleas to barnsteis-iit-law generally, instead of limiting its pleadings to "Seijeanis." Several attempts to t fleet this have been made at diffeient times from the age of Sir Matthew Hale. The change, II is rumoured, if gainer! by any means, will he by act of Parliament, and not by rule of Court.

A steeple for fifty pounds took place at Revtl- stoke on Thursday last, distant about thirteen miles from Plymouth, between Mr, Terrell's Claude Melnotte, and Captain Stewart's Negotiator. The course, which was across four miles o' country, embraced more than íOlly fences, several ot which were raspeis.

CRIMINAL COURT-THURSDAY.
CRIMINAL COURT-THURSDAY. (Bifore Lord A binder and Mr. Justice Maul*,) MURDER OF :\1 H. DRUMMOND. POSTPONEMENT Ol-THE TRIAL OF M'NAUGHTEN. On their Lordships taking their seats, in consequence of Mr. Clarkson having intimated to them that be had an application to make in the case of Daniel M'Naugbten, he vim placed at the bar. Little or no change has taken place in the prisoner since he was at Bow-street. On being placed at the bar, he appeared to take little or no notice of surrounding objecta. On his taking his place in front of the bar, i\l r. Clarkson said: 3Iv Lotd, am instructed to make an application to your Lordship, on the part of the prisoner now before you. I am desirous of taking your lordship's directions ( as to whether I should make the application I am about to do, I before the prisoner is called on to plead or not? Lord Abinger If the application is of a nature pointing to his incapacity of pleading, I think it should be made before he pieads, but if not, be ought to plead first. Mr. Clarkson Such. u>y lord, being the opinion of the Court [ am not instructed to put anything in the way of the adoption J Mr. Clarkson Such. mv lonl. being the opinion of the Court [ am not instructed to put anything in the way of the adoption J of the regular course. The prisoner was then arraigned for the wilful murder of ;Ur. Kdward Drummond and upon being asked by Mr. Straight, the Clerk of tbe Arraigns, whether he was Guilty, or not, he appeared unconscious for some time that any question had been put to him, and it was not till he bad been asked a second time, that be said. "I was driven to it by despair." Mr. Straight: Yon mast say whether you are Guilty or Not Guilty. iMr. Clarkson was about to address the Court, when he was interrupted by Lord Abinger, who said Let him answer whether he is guilty ornot. The prisoner, after a lapse of two or three minutes, during which he cast his eyes towards different parts of the court in an apparently unconscious manner-replied: I am guilty of tiring the pistol. Lord A binger GUlltyof firing, is that what you say ? Prisoner Yes. Lord Abinger: You mean then that yon are not guilty as to the rest? The prisoner—after some hesitation—said, in a low voice "Yes." Mr. Straight Prisoner, you are also charged before the co- roner's inquisition with the like murder. Are you guilty or not ? Prisoner. Not guilty. Mr. Clarkson My Lord, on the part of the man who now stands at the bar, I am instructed to apply to your lordships that the trial of the indictment may be postponed till next session, and that certain papers, and a receipt for money taken from the prisoner by the officers, may be handed over to Mr. Humfray, his solicitor, and who was instructed on Monday last to defend the prisoner, who was committed for trial on Saturday night, after having been remanded by the same magistrate, who com nutted him, to Saturday next. In consequence, however, of the unfortunate death of Mr. Drummond, it has been thought right by government to eDd him f :r trial durin tbe present session. Now, j make the present application upon the affidavit of Mr. Humfray, which states, that on Saturday the 28th of January, the prisnner was committed, and that nn Monday the 30th, Mr. Humfray was instructed for the first time. to defend the priso- ner—that he had then an interview with him, and found him with a copy of the depositions 00 which he was committed, and also depositions taken in Scotland, before Archibald Hamilton, the deputy-sheriff for Lanarkshire-that those depositions con- tained matters having reference to the state of mind of the pri- soner. Mr, Hllmfrav then stated in his affidavit, that he was informed tbat the depositions bad been furnisbed to tbe prisoner by persons of authority in Bow-street, and he further stated, Ihat from the papers found on the prisoner, be verily believed that it would be necessary for a full and fair defence of the prisoner, tint a number of persons should be produced from Scotland and France, where the prisoner some time since re- sided. Some witnesses had been sent for from Scotland, but in consequence' of the uncommon hortneis of the time since the committal of the prisoner, it would hardly be possible to say whether they would arrive during tbe present session, aud If they should not, it would not be safe for the prisoner to take his trial, till further information had been received from France.— Mr. Humfrey further stated, that the expenses would have to he ineuired by travelling, before the prisoner's defence could be prepared and he therefore asked that the money found 011 the prisoner, and also the receipt for money in the bank at Glasgow, might he given liP, in order to enable him to prepare the defence. An application had been made to Mr. Maule, tbe solicitor for the Treasury, to this elrect; but that gentleman, no douht very properly, had shown an unwillingness to hand over the papers, at the same time stating that every facility should be given to raising monev for the prisoner's defence, and ihe I inspection of all the papers would be permitted. Ihe affidavit then went on to state, that Mr. Hnmfrey verily believed that be should not be able to defend the prisoner properly in the present session, but that he should be ready by the next with witnesses from Scotland and France, who would give important evidence in favour of the prisoner. Mr. Humfrey also stated that, from a perusid of the depositions taken in Scotland, he verily believed he shouid be able to lay before a jury material evidence toucbiug the insanity of the mind of the prisoner. Under these circum- stances, he asked that the trial might be postponed till the next session. ihe Attorney-General, (with whom was Mr. Waddin^ton.) said it would hare been more satisfactory to him if the affidavit had contained some of these depositions referred to, so that the Court might have exercised some discretion upon them, be- cause, from the affidavit, as it was at present drawn, it was bardly to be collected what the defence would be. I think it right to state, however, that 1 have seen these depositions, and they do contain matter material for the consideration of a jury. This, j think, in fairness, I ought to state. Î he prosecutors ale desirous that the tria! should be conducted with perfect fairness towards the prisoner and the public; and if your lordships think —under those circumstalwrls-that it woulrl be proper to post- pone the trial till the next session, ] ou Ilie parI of the Crown, will not oppose it. Lord Abinger On the statement of Ihe Attorney-Uenera!, and upon the depositions which he states that he has seen hiru- self. It is impossible, [ think, to resist the application. Upon Ihe mere affidavit or the atlorney, who knows nothing abont ihe facts, I dn not think the Court would have been called IIpor) to adopt such a course, but the depositions referred to, appear to me to justify us in postpouing the trial. Clarkson Then, my lord, with respect to t e receipt for the money in the Glasgow Bank. It appears that that money «as invested by the prisoner on his own account; ano it cannot he lor one moment intimaled tbat that money Ins aDything to do Idth toe unfortunate occurrence which bas taken place. Loid Abinger I think you should be satisfied with tbe ofl'er of the Treasury to see that every facility" is given to obtain money for tbe defence of the prisoner." The Attorney-General I cannot consent that the receipt found on the prioner should be delivered up to bis soljl)itor. Every facility will be afforded for raising money on account of that receipt. qutle sufficient for tbe prisoner's defence; and that is all I think, that can be required. I or I Abineer Upon the understanding tbat Mr. Maule will siiD 'dy the prisoner's attorney with money foi the purposes of his defence the receipt may remain where it is as a sccuritv. The Attorney-General My lords, it is necessary that ) shouid state that these depositions, taken in Scotland, were nol taken on the part of the prosecution or the Government. It was the act of a police officer, acting on his own responsibility, and 011 hi« views of what was right. Lord Abinger It must be understood, thai it ia onlv bv ihe eOllrlesy of the Attorney-General, that this Court can take unv notice of these depositions, as they aie not proceedings in this Court. The trial was then ordered to be postponed till next session and the prisoner was removed from the dock.

LOSS OF THF WAR.STEAMER ARIA DYE LOSS OF LI FE. By a private letter, received yesterday, we regiet to announce the total loss cf the splenoid war-steamer Ariadne, in 'he sei- vice of the Hon. E#st India Company, attended with m'an. choly consequences, which occurred at about eleven o'clock at on the 2drd of June last, near (lie entrance 01 Chusan ha\)(lIr. ourthen, wiih two poweifu! engines. She was constructed on a new principle, for the purpose of navigaiiog the Chinese ri- vers. 1 he Anudne was 130 feet in extreme length, and about 50 feet from one paddle. box 10 the other. She carried two 5111ivel funs of large calihre, one aft and the oilier belore ILe mast. 1 he Lrilish lfeet in China during ihe late war, received the most valu able service from Ihe Ariadne and four other small steamers belonging 10 the navy of the Hon. East India Com- pany. It "ill be seen by the subjoined—an extract of the despatches received at ihe Admiralty from Vice Admiral 6:r W in. Parker, K.C.B., naval Commander-in-Chief, dated lief Majesty s ship Lornwallis, June 2o—that the vessel was lost in consequence of striking upon a rock during the operations prior to 1 he s'Qiming and capiuie of the town of Woosung "The fleet sailed towards Paonshan 011 the 21st of May, ind on the following day reached within a short distance of the Rugged Islands, lying 42 miles distant, to the eastward, wheie Commanders Ivellstt and Collinson bad recently discovered a safe and extensive sound as an anchorage for the expedition. We did not anive "I ihe appointed rendezvous off ihe Amherst locks-before the 18ih, when the Mcdeste steam frigate, wiih the Nemes: s an,1 Phlegethon, were immediately dispaiched to Woosung to intercept all communication, and six of the small .'■learners were at the same time plared dS beacons at the edge of ihe shoals, on ihe north side of the channel leading to the V ang-Ue-keang. Before thai, however, was accomplished an accident happened to the Aiiadne, by her striking on 11 sharp pointed rock, when she very narrowly escaped foundering. She, it appears, had gone up the channel, having Commanders Kel- lat and Collinson 011 bosid, upon an exped¡¡ícl1 of !9unding and placing buys for the safety of the fleet, when, iu returning, she unfortunately met with ihe disaster. The rocks upon which she slmck were not before known, and were within a veiy short I distance of the position taken up by the Algerine. They are sharp and rugged, and had not more tnan ihree 01 four feet of waier over them, when the resse) struck. The boMoni of the steamer was completely perforated, and the compartment which contains the engines instantly filled with water. Piompt assist- ante was directly afforded by the squadron, and a sail was got under her bottom, which in some measuro stopped the leak. She was aftawa"ds laken in tow by the Sesostris, and conveyed 10 Chusan, and placed upon the shore, where, r trust, the damage v ill be made good in the course of a few weeks."

THE QUEEN AND THE DOCTOR.
THE QUEEN AND THE DOCTOR. TO DANIEL O'CONNEL, Esq. HONOURED SIH,—The Queen sent for the Doctor last week, not feelin quite any in her mind, at the notion of meetin Par- liament. He came down by the train, and as the mistress charged him to be back for dinner, lost no time in scratchin with his nails upon the door of the Royal department. You, that nose the manners of coovts, don't want to be in- sensed on this pint of a ticket. In pohte places it is vul. gar to rap at a door with your knuckles. You must begin out- side with a scrape, and follow on-as soon as you're let in-with a how. So bv the Doctor. He went in scrapin and stood there bowin, till the Prince offered him a chair. Doctor," says the Queen, I'm speechless." Thinks himself to himself, I'm sorry to say there's two of us so." Then humbly bowin again, May I axe," says be, II IS the disease parsonal or political." "The latter, on coorse," says she, ''or why *ould I send for you May it plase your Majesty, then," says the Doctor, 'tis a complaint that's gain. I have a touch ot it myself; for tho' I can talk a power, when I'm put to it, I'd give half my quarter's wages for a speech for next Thursday eight days." And what will you say ? Your Majesty will say it all for me, I hope," says he. Well-Iell me how to begin." Why, as uzhall—' My lords and gentlemen.' Indeed, I suppose so," says the Queen but after that, I mean 1 Shall I go on the old track?—' 1 continue to receive the most friendly assuiancts from foreign parts. "Oh by ihe powers of Europe, madam, that will never do," the Doctor made answer—"At this present time, our foreign relations are our worst friends. If we haven't friendship at home, we needn't go look for it. abroad." At that rate, then, it is ueither here nor there. Suppose I talk of the great victories in China ? yes," says the Doctor, W e'lJ, make the most of them. That will be an imposin thing to begin with." "Afterwards, we can flourish a bit about Cabool, and the flamin exploits of the Governor-General." "Thrue tor you," says the Doctor, flamin to he sure, and perhaps, a little too much of that, but alter all, belter than we had reason to expect. For it was a thousand marcies, but he sould the Pass. The eveut is a godsend, the more welcome in our poverty. We'll compare him to Clive." Would not General Gates, Doctor," says the Queen, so sly, be a hairo nearer to his measure?" The Doctor laughed; but you'd say, 'twas a line-ball, at which side of his mouth. II W' hat next?" said her Majesty, "the American boun- dary ?" Not a word about that, madam," cried the Doctor, in a fright. in the shade." Weil, then, if we musn't touch upon America, surely we may find a gnca spot in Canada. I may say, we're pUrJuin the course of the river Durham. You remember the honest man your frieuds drove iuto his grave, for lecommending the same things you arc now doing yourselves." 1 wish. says the Doctor, with submission, your Majesty would remain speechless on that head. There is such a thing as to Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame," The Whigs will say enough, and time enough, about that; and so willthal big annoyance, O'Connell." I see—I see," say her Majesty, my tongue must be tied upon colonial, as well as upon foreign affairs. Turn, then, to the gentlemen of the House of Commons." Here the Doctor looked extremely speechless, while the Queen went on— Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "1 congratulate you—(you must help me out heie, Doctor)" I wish 1 could ma'am, with all my heart and he shook his ears. Let us try it ourself, then, old style, as when grandpapa was our doctor," said the Queen, sighing:—" I congratulate you on the genera) tranquillity of the country"— The Doctor grunted. On the improving condition of trade and manufactures"— The Doctor growled. On the happy prospects of the agricultural interests"— The Doctor groaned. And on the flourishing state of the public revenue." The Doctor grinned. And 1 recommend you to seize so favourable a juncture to relieve my people ot those pecuhar burdens which impede and oppress timrindustiy." "Oh savs the poor man (you'd have pittied him yourself) what made a doctor of me at all These are the very words we ought to be saying, sure enough but we daren t as much whisper tht in on Talh gb-hill." "The poor Doctor was thinking of Jal agh-hul talk, at which himself and his friends were such dabs, long ago. What will I say then," said the Queen. "Can't you say-that affairs are rather under a cloud at presenr, but, by tbe blessing of Providenc"— Yes. yes—I understand—we can hope that a fruitful season will firing everything round a.;ain. no more about that, it your Majesty loves me. Cheapness and plenty must not be named in good company. It is a Radical cant, veiy bad in the Prayer-book, .ind would never answer in a btnd'oHs' Parliament. Tell, irie, then, once foi all, in tbe name ot wonder, am I to say anything at all i Plase your Majesty—1 numbly think, you had better say— nothing." What a cure fm ihu speechless, said the Queen; You're one of the hum-me-opa-thic doctors, I see." Just so, madam. Therefore, it you'll be pleased to prefer the retirement of the palace, we I! cobble up a speech, and gel the Chancellor to deliver it. Nothing that's put into his mouth will stick in his throat, any how unless it might be a morsel of the lough truth and I'll u anSWCl able for that," The Doctor here made his bow, and left the presence the Queen wishin to herself that she might never receive a lesson on royal speechmakin from the same master aga.in. To which we, and all honest, men, will, of course, say—Amen ? Windsor, Jan. 30. RORY OGE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The intelligence from France is important. The dis- cussions on the rii-lit of sp?.rch in the Chamber of Peers have terminated favourably to the French Cabinet, and to the general interests of peace. Theamendments proposed by different peers in the debate on the address, for the pur- pose of embodying in that document an expression 01 feeling hostile to the slave trade treaties, have been nega- tived by a majority of 51, and the Ministerial Address, which contains no allusion whatever to the subject, has hpen accepted without modification. In the Chamber of Deputies, a resull scarcely less satisfactory has been ob- tained; AMERICA. From the United States we learn that the President has sent a message to the House of Representatives, recom mending negotiations witii the Chinese government for the purpose of obtaining for the commerce of the United States the same privileges as those ceded to Great Britain by the recent treaty. The Court of Inquiry into the mutiny on board the United States brig Sorners, and the subsequent execution of three of the mutineers, the reputed leader of whom was a son of Mr. Spencer, the Minister at War, was still sit- ting. All the officers of the vessel having been examined on the subject, the Court was engaged in the examination of the seamen. The inquiry excited the most lively at- tention. CANADA. The accounts from Canada teport an improvement in the health of Sir C. Bagot, and his ultimate recovery was expected. The Home Government having left the choice of the capital to the Provisional Government, the latter has fixed on Montreal. Mr. Papineau was expected to return to the United States in the spring. MEXICO. The news from Mexico is late and important. General Gustarry, of the department of San Louis, had, by a mi- litary movement, which had been in preparation some time, declared the dissolution or Congress, and announced the convocation of a new one by Santa Annn, to frame a constitution for tbe republic. General Caniligo had made the same declaration for this department. The news of these movements reached the city of Mexico by express General Tornell, the Minister of War, on receiving it, immediately made the events known to Congress. That body, it is stated, at once took a dignified stand, declaring that they would not listen to threats from any military commander, and would continue to sit until driven from the hall by force of arms. The movements of the Gene- rals had caused a great sensation in the capital. Commo- dore Jones, with the United States frigate Potomac and the corvette Cayane, had, in consequence of a report which had reached him that war had been declared by the United States against Mexico, occupied Monterey, a town in California. He gave up the town in two days, after having been assured of the falsity of the report. The Commodore had been recalled for his conduct. Cam- peachy continued to hold out against the Mexican land and sea forces. Skirmishes, which did not lead to impor- tant results on either side, were of frequent occurrence. The Mexican ranks are said to have been thinned by Iht, ravages of the yellow fever. LEVANT. The affairs of the Levant are rather more promising than usual the appointment of a Christian prince to the government of the Christian portion of the Lebanon has given rise to much rejoicing, and has produced a tranquil- lizing effect on all classes of the people. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Cape of Good Hope papers stale that on the 28th of Oc- tober 600 armed Boers assembled on the east bank of the Orange River, with the view of declaring all the country from that spot to the Natal River, independent of the British^ crown. Ihyy were met by Mr. Justice Menzies and otners, who with admirable courage and judgment reasoned with them upon the folly of their pro- ceedings, and they at length retired. Such an under- taking as that of talking to such a force, with deadly wea- pons in their hands, was indeed a bold one,and it required every tact to avoid saying a word that might cause an at- aftack. The posilioo of the judge and his companions, among whom were several of the Dutch, was a most criti- Cd lone,

A sletement of the commerce of Boston, in the United stales, shows how rapidly Ihat poit is rising into importance, and partly too at the expense of its opulent rival—New York. This i said 10 arise partly (rom railroads aod other public worh, which 'urn the channel of communication, and the inhabitants of New York State are naturally anxious to see' iheir canals, ike early proceeded with, so as to ensure their completion. Last year there anived at Boston 1,737 vessels, of which 829 were English, and 810 American. In 1841 the arrivals were 1,791 ships. An idea of the falling off in the levenue of New York may be formed by the perusal of the Governor's Message on the openmg of the local Legislature; but at the same time it must be conceded that everywhere in America hos sensibly declined. The establishment of the Halifax steamers has un- doubtedly given lioston what is usually termed a lift." The Governor, in a portion of his Message, lemarks-" I he reve nue for the year ending the 30th of September, last has been materially affected by a reduction in Canal tolls, and in the auction and salt duties, as compared wIth th2 pteceding year,
