close resemblance to the savings bank; but it exists in doubt and discredit. The difference between the details of management of the two cases is slight ; so slight that it will require attention to perceive it. We have, then, to consider, What is the savings bank ; what is the benefit society ; what ought the latter to be; and how is it to be made so ? The million of depositors, who own upwards of thirty millions of money, belong to one savings bank —for there is but one. It has many stations; there is hardly a country town which has not ita voluntary collectors, and the paid secretary who manages the details; still it is all one bank. Who receives the money so collected ? The government, represented by the commissioners of the National Debt-office. Who requires that the accounts shall be strictly furnished, and from time to time demands searching returns? The go vernment. Who pays interest for the money so received, at a rate above three percent. sufficient to defray charges of management out of the overplus, and to leave the poor depositor his clear three per cent, or a little more Again the Government. Who then keeps the savings bank, and who checks the collectors? The Government. The administration has never received duo praise for the quiet and efficient manner in which it has nurtured a system under which a million of persons, mostly in the poorer classes, have laid by a sum which would buy the fee simple of the royal revenue. It is a system, and a national one ; not compulsory, for all competition is legal ; but having for its principle the offer of advantages secured by law, on condition of submitting to certain wholesome regulations. And so much for the question—What is the savings beak ? We shall return to the subject. consideration by his own unaided efforts. In the rude I struggle of such a life ho seems to have learnt the 1 , true value of education. He left to his executors in structions and means to purchase ground and erect school-buildings at an expense of not less than 2,4001. (equivalent to 7,0001. at the present day), under the advice of Sir JOHN POPHAM, then Chief Justice. Not more than 130 scholars were to be educated together, and those born or brought up in Tiverton to the age of six years. Any deficiency in this number might be made up by " foreigners"—a name including all save the Tiverton children, limited as above. The rich were not to be preferred to the poor in the selec tion of scholars. The school was to be " free." The donor's words are solemn and emphatic on this point. After fixing the masters' salaries, he proceeds : " And my hope is, that they shall themselves be satisfied and content with that recompense for their trouble, with out seeking or exacting any more, either of parents or children, which procureth favour to givers, and the contrary to such as do not or cannot give ; for my meaning is, that it shall be for ever a free school, and not a school of exaction." There was, besides, a do nation of 201. annually for apprenticing four poor boys of Tiverton in husbandry ; and a bequest of 2,0001. for exhibitions at Oxford and Cambridge and the purchase of lands for the maintenance of six scho lars at those Universities. The annual income of the school now amounts to 1,1271. This is an enlarged and noble bequest. Who can question the testator's intentions ? Is it not apparent that they were to provide a free education, according to the notions of the period, for Tiverton ; one which should include rich and poor, but which was espe cially meant for the poor? PETER BLUNDELL had perhaps in his own upward effort felt the want of early instruction, and determined, with the pious gratitude more common then than now, to smooth the path of future aspirants like him self. He founded a rich endowment, with stately buildings and ample revenues, for the poor of Tiverton. The rich who might come must come on the same terms as the poor, and receive education without tendering their fee. It was to be, in the fullest sense of the word, a free school. Such was emphatically and obviously the " founder's in tention." What is the present position of the school? The founder's directions have been rigidly adhered to, as far as the limitation of studies to Latin and Greek. The educational cycle of 1601 remains unenlarged in 1846. The effect is worthy of note. That training which in the seventeenth century was given to all classes who received any education whatever, in the nineteenth is confined to the higher orders and upper division of the middle class. The poor of Tiver ton gi:adually dropped off from the school. The instruc tion offered was useless to them. Foreigners flocked in. But it was no longer a free school. They paid, if not for tuition, for board and lodging. They were in fact boarders, and added handsomely to the masters' and ushers' incomes. And now, probably, not one poor boy of Tiverton is taught in that school which PETER BLUNDELL intended for the poor boys of Tiverton before all others. And all this flows from adherence ' to what are called "founder's intentions," but what arc really founder's directions. The end is lost sight of in attention to preserve the means unaltered. A result the very opposite of what PETER BLUNDELL meant is arrived at by the rigid carrying out of what PETER BLUNDELL wrote. Latin and Greek made up the school educa tion of PETER BLUNDELL'S time. Science and the modern languages were not thought of as branches of early training. The former was the special pur suit of a few, the latter was only acquired by foreign trash. Because it was so in 1601, our law delares it must be so in 1846. The Court of Chancery has no power to interfere, so as to change the directions of the founder. It often does change them, and, in so doing, violates law in the name of law, unless where power of alteration is given to trustees, and the court interferes merely to set them in motion. But as a general rule, as the law now stands the Court of Chancery is powerless ; visitors are powerless; trustees are powerless to alter the formal discipline of charitable school endowments. This may confine the master to DoNArcs and CHEKE'S grammar. In that case he is barred from &rater and .Nlarrnt.E. Of course, in a multiplicity of cases, the law is evaded or violated. But, strictly speaking, unless in execution of positive and peculiar powers, no class or court in the country has authority to alter the most formal tittle of such be quests. The result has been that, in some cases, good has been done by violation of the law ; in others, and that the majority of instances, schools have dwindled down to a clerical master and usher in the receipt of large salaries for doing nothing, a school-house in ruins, a body of trustees in occupation of school lands, at nominal rents, and a population undisciplined, brutal, and dependent for their reading and writing on the parroting of the national, or the imbecility of the dame's, school. There is ;but one remedy for such a state of things. It is to be found in the appointment of a minister and board of educa tion, with a general act to place under their control the educational endowments of the kingdom. Such an act should confer the very widest powers of alter ing and remodelling the condition of such endow ments, in accordance with founders' intentions, but without regard to special plans. Such a measure would be a boon to the country, and would place at its command an income which would go far to defray the expenses of a national education. But the bill would be useless without the board. We trust that when the subject of education comes under ministerial cognisance, this most important branch of it will receive its due share of attention. ALTIIOUGII the more recent intelligence from Portu gal reprotents the insurrectionary movement against the late measures of the Court, and of the Government, which it forcibly installed, as more and mordformi dable each day, nevertheless the banner hoisted by the inatugents is not of so dangerous or subversive a character as that previously raised. In the first impulse of indignation, some of the provincial juntas proposed no Is than the deposition of the Queen, and the proclaiming of her infant son to be Regent; and an uncle of her Majesty was found to give his countenance to such a scheme. Had it become popu lar, and been generally persevered in, not only might the struggle itself in Portugal havcbeen more fierce, but it might have given pretext and rise to those projects of foreign intervention, of which rumour ran not only in Madrid and in Paris, but even upon our own Exchange. Tho Conde DE LAS AsrAs, the able ex-minister of war, having put himself at the head of the Oporto insurrection, dissuaded it, and the popular party in general, from this extreme. And with it must disap pear the chief pretext, which the French and the Madrid Afranresados might have seized for planning, or at least menacing, an armed intervention in Portu gal. We need not say how any such scheme would have implicated us. The recent conduct of France in the matter of the Spanish marriages, cannot but render the English government less tolerant than usual of French encroachment or dictation : and the alterna tive of either permitting, or forcibly resisting, French or Hispano-French intervention in Portugal would have been forced upon us. From this the firmness and address of the Conde DE LAS Avrts has apparently saved both us and the peninsula. The Portuguese Court is in this more fortunate than the Spanish. It has gmndees, who have influence not only by their position and fortune, but who have joined to these advantages political expe rience, as well as efforts and sacrifices made in the Liberal cause. Whenever, therefore, a political party rises and becomes formidable from numbers, from passion, or popular support, there is never wanting a grandee to pass over to it, assume the lead, and, in conforming to its liberal desires, and apparently to its popular frenzy, this personage is enabled to direct and divert it from any dangerous or extreme path. The Portuguese Liberal is no doubt thus often baulked of his aim ; but, at the same time, he is preserved from falling into any of those great excesses or irredeemable blunders which prove so often the grave of revolution in other countries. On the other hand, the Court of Lisbon has not, as was reported, gone the length of demanding the aid of an armed intervention from Spain. It has merely asked the " approximation of the Spanish troops to the frontier, in order that such a demonstration might afford a moral support to the Court of Lisbon." Such, we learn from the Elixtnet, was the nature of the demand of the Portuguese Envoy, with which the Spanish cabinet has thought fit to comply. Meantime the war between the parties in Portugal is carried on by an exchange: of most furious and de fiant proclamations. The Court distrusting the national guard, composed of the citizens at large, has formed two yeomanry corps, one of the court tradesmen, the other of the clerks in public offices. And King FERDINAND menaces, ib pompous phrase, to put himself at the head of these combined forces of clerks and purveyors. Alas, poor Portuguese Royalty ! Has the sapient King of the FRENCH, and his cheva lier of the Legion of Honour, GONZ.tLES BRAVO, brought thee to this? The worst consequence of all this weakness and ridicule is ita tendency to resuscitate the Miguelite faction. The mere continuance of a fair, free, mild, and constitutional government would have extinguished a body so void of hope, and so contemptible in numbers. The last insurrection however, betrayed the fact, that CABRAL'S fiscal and administrative despotism had caused the Miguelites in the northern provinces to take fresh root and conceive new hopes. And the present insurrection has revealed a still more dis graceful sign, in all the hangers-on of the old court, and the population depending on it, at Cintra, and other royal residences, rising up and hoisting the Miguelite banner without fear of either the Queen or the Liberals. However, it will require a longer perseverance in blunders, in fiscal avarice, and con tempt of constitutional forms on the part of the Queen, to give preponderance to the sacerdotal and almost defunct part of the Absolutists. For the present, much reliance may be placed on the moderation and true liberalism of LAB ANTAL With him at the head of one army, and SALDANHA beading that of the court, the popular insur gents on one side, and King FERDINAND'S army of court purveyors on the other, will not be allowed to come to blows. When the relative strength of each is measured, the weakest must submit. The only hope for Donna MARIA is her doing so with all the sincerity possible, at least for a certain portion of time. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday by our usual express. The Journal des Debats has at length expressed its sentiments respecting the royal counter-revolution in Portugal. Assuming, as we think we may do, that the article before us was written with the full know ledge of the view taken of the affair by the French government, it is very important, as showing that there is no probability of any misunderstanding be wen the cabinets of England and France as to the policy to be pursued on the occasion. The Debats declares, in the strongest terms, that it disapproves of the conduct of the Queen, and as positively asserts that the coup &Rat which she has attempted has not the sanction of the French government. Our contem porary says: "We take but little interest in the destiny of the coup d'etat which has just been attempted in Portugal by one of the old satellites of Radicalism, Marshal Saldanha. The Queen is playing a part that may east her her crown. The National even thinks that it may cost still dearer to this im prudent princess. We trust, however, that in this latter respect the National and its correspondent maybe mistaken, and that the Portuguese will not, whatever may happen, sully themselves with a useless and absurd crime. A country which changes its constitution nearly every year, and which does nothing but float between coups d'etat of the club and coups d'etat of the palace, has no right to show itself so rigorous. As for us, we have already said, it is impossible for us to see our way in this labyrinth of intrigues and re volutions, which are called in Portugal the constitutional monarchy. A few months back a minister who appeared to be deficient neither in ability nor energy, Costa Cabral, an old clubbiat, was overthrown by a riot. Matters went on neither much better nor much worse in consequence. The fall of Costa Cabral brought to Portugal neithera liberty the more, not did it prevent the treasury from remaining empty as usual. Is it to fill it that the Queen, aided by Marshal Saldanha, has thought fit to strike a coup (Pilot, and add another revolution to so many preceding outs? Such a mode rarely succeeds ; it appears destined this time also to have a miserable result, and we shall not be sorry for it. We do not like these pretended strokes of authority, which always have the pretext of strengthening liberty, but which commence by suspending all kinds of liberty, and all kinds of right. A suspended constitution is a destroyed one. The liberty of the press and the liberty of the subject no longer exist in Portugal ; that is perfectly clear to us in the coup d'etat of Lisbon, and it is on that account that from the first moment, notwithstanding the magnificent promises con tained in the proclamations and decrees of the Queen, we greeted with the most profound distrust this kind of counter party of Radical revolutions. We need not add, that it is absurd to impute to the French government the slightest part in the imbroglio of Lisbon." A CASE has just been decided by Sir LANCELOT SHADWELL which illustrates straingly some effects of the present law as to educational endowments. This was an information by the ATTORNEY-OE2CE . RAL, at the relation of two of the principal inhabitants of Tiverton, in Devonshire, for the purpose of obtain ing a direction from the Court to alter the rules of Tiverton school, so that its benefits should be con fined to free-scholars, the children of townspeople, and the system of education extended to include the modem languages. The history of the school is a striking one. It illustrates the noble sense of the import ance of education, and that liberality in providing means for it which marked the 16th and 17th cen turies. Contracted as the common notions of edu-1 rational processes might be at that time, it is unde niable that our own. days seldom witness such an enlightened and unsparing direction of charity towards this all-important end as was then of every day occurrence.

From to morrow a regular service is to be established on the line between Blois and Limeray. At Limeray steamers will carry the passengers to Montlouis, and from that spot trains will carry them on to Tours. The Commerce de Dunkerque announces that the Minister of War has lately concluded a contract with the house of Rothschild for a large quantity of corn, to be delivered at Dunkirk, several cargoes of which were expected daily from Antwerp. The Cologne Gazette states that a change of Minis ters is about to take place in the Grand Duchy of Baden, in consequence of the opposition in the Second Chamber of the States having gained so much ground. The Mannheim jimmud states that a constant inter change of couriers is going on between the Courts of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Turin, in consequence of the state of affairs in Switzerland. The Madrid journals of the 22d contain no news of interest in them as regards Spain. In the Madrid Gazette there is an announcement of new honours conferred nix; persons who have taken an active part in promoting the marriage of the Duke de Montpen sier ; and one of the journals states that his Royal Highness, before he left Madrid, presented to each of the great officers of the household a snuff-box, with the portrait of the King of the French set round with brilliants. The Spanish funds have not been affected by the news from Portugal. We have received through Spain the Dian . ° do Govern() of Lisbon of the 17th. The followinf is the account given of the arrest of the Duke de Terceira at Oporto : " On the 9th the Duke arrived at Oporto in the Mindello steamer, acempanied by the officers of his staff, and by the Count de Santa-Maria; and several officers who were going'to join the army. At four o'clock in the afternoon some per sons went on board to compliment him on his arrival. Ho then landed, and went to the house of the Count de Ter ceira. On the approach of night some armed groups began to move about the city. About five hundred persons pro ceeded to the residence of the Duke, and arrested him, and all who were with him. After loading them with insults, the assailants took them on foot to the Château de For. An assassin attacked the General with a sabre, and wounded him in the hand. Some of the officers who landed were murdered; one was drowned iu endeavouring to get on board the steamer. A few made their escape, and all the others were imprisoned." Such is the account given by the government of 'Lisbon ; it differs materially from what has been stated in private letters. From another source we receive the following proclamation issued at Oporto by the provisional Junta ' Portuguese ! The foreigners who inhabit the palace and the factious partisans of the Cabral ministry have committed a great outrage. They have constrained the Queen to act as they wished, and torn from her her royal signature ; they have arrested the President of the Council in order to get rid of the ministers who had so faithfully performed their duty, and appointed others whose intentions it will be easy to judge of by their acts. The Ministry has suspended the liberty of the press and dissolved the national guards. Such is the government which has put lying wonls into the mouth of the Queen, stating that the change which has taken place is not a reaction against the people. It is thus, that these cheats belie by their first acts their last words; it is thus, that these councillors do honour to the royal word. Dona Maria 11., the constitutional Queen, is a prisoner in her palace on Portuguese ground. The Queen has been con strained ; liberty is in peril ; it is therefore a sacred duty in all to rush to arms in the name of liberty and the Queen. I Portuguese, to arms until victory , has been obtained. Brave and heroic nation, raise your hands and your enemies will fall into dust. Long live the Queen, long live the constitu tional charter, long live the Portuguese people, long live the provisional junta." It will be seen that there is nothing in the above pro elamation—which is signed by the Count des Antes, as President, by Jore Silva Passim, as Vice-President, and by Sebastian de Almeida y Breto, Francisco de Paula, Lobo de Avila, and Justina Ferries Quinto Basto, the other members of the junta— about tho dethronement of the Queen ; on the con trary, the appeal to the people is made as for the purpose of removing her from constraint. This, of course, is merely an act of policy, but it shows that her name was considered necessary for the insurrection. If the provisional junta has pronounced her dethrone ment, it musthave been subeequentto the above procla mation to the Portuguese people. There are several paragraphs in the Madrid journals of the 22d relative to Portugal • but, after the disturbed accounts which they have already given, they are to be received with doubt. The /Tempo states that the Queen, now that the coup creed had proved a failure, had called upon the Duke de Palmella to advise her as to the best way of getting out of her difficulties. The Clamor Publico states the whole province of Algarves has declared for the insurrection, and that a junta has been formed. The same journal announces that the troops of the in surrection had entered Cases" and that the few troops forming the garrison of Lisbon were in great alarm of being speedily attacked. The opposition journals gene rallymention a report that the Queen has applied to the Spanish Government for aid, and one alludes to a report of Spanish troops having entered Portugal, but observes that it is not entitled to much credit. The Herald° informs us that most of the Spanish refugees at Lisbon had been put on board the Por tuguese vessels of war in the Tagus, and that several persons of revolutionary opinions had been arrested. A letter from Lisbon, of the I ith, states that a body of 700 insurrectionary troops had approached within twelve miles of the capital, where they met with a mach larger body of the troops of the Govern ment. After a battle, in which a great many men were killed on both sides, the insurrectionary force was driven back. MONTREAL, Ocr. 13. The news of Lord Metcalfe's death has arrived since my last. It hail been, of course, long expected, and was felt here, as at home, by his friends to be a relief to their feelings as it was to himself from those indescribable suffer ings which he so magnanimously bore. The kindest feelings reign here in the breasts of all parties toward the individual ; but as a governor, sent here to settle difficult questions, it is not felt that he advanced, or defined within practicable limits, env principle that could be useful to his successors. Could he have remained longer iu the country, I believe he would have accomplished much, for he was a good man, that is to ray, he meant well ; and as lie was in politics a really liberal man, I think he might have gained a victory over himself and become reconciled with those with whom he quarreled. He is no more—peace to be his tisanes! His munificent charity will be remembered when all he did or attempted in politics shall be forgotten. I have very little in the way of political news to give you. The re-organisation of the miUta proceeds slowly. It is raid that Lord Elgin remains in England to complete some matrimonial negotiations. Should he happily bring these to the point of consummation, it will give no small delight to the fair of Montreal, who have not been treated to such • pastime as a ball at the government house, since the days of the lamented Sir Charles and Lady Bagot, which is over three years ago. Within the week we have had an attempt at highway robbery, in which two pistols were discharged at the luckless wight, selected for plunder, but he drove away with a lady by his side. This occurred in daylight, in tne ordinary drive round the mountain; a drive that every stranger takes, and the citizens frequently. The police seem to take the matter very easily, and philosophical thinkers are of opinion that the event clearly establishes one satisfactory result, via., that in the estimation of highway men, the citizens of Montreal are getting rich enough to be stopped on the road. Meanwhile, railroads, the best preventive after all against these casualties of the road. are in progress. ' That of the Portland line has been actually commenced. That for Halifax is in full progress of survey, and the British government, it is said, are pledged to lend their utmost efforts to promote its success. We have had some hurricanes and many disasters to the shipping at sea and in the river we hear of; and it is blowing something very like a hurri cane at the present moment. The season has been one of unusual drought, but the farmer has not complained, although the traveller by running streams has, on account of the lowness of the water, which impeded navigation. Mer -1 eantile matters are proceeding with more regularity and satisfaction. Lord Cathcart drives into town regularly every ' other day in his open barouche, and transacts business at the government offices, and all persons seam to regard the vete- , ran soldier with respect. The leaves have changed colour within the week. The autumn a l brown has visited our fields and forests, and winter is surely approaching with I rapid strides. In another month a mantle of virgin white will envelop the far and near londscape, and for the five succeeding months snow-drifts will be the lot of the way farer. I can imagine no other topic upon which I can address you, and must, therefore, until times of more stirring nterest arrive, desi,t. X. GERMANY.—VIESSA, OCT. 19.—Authentic ac counts from Montenego say that the Vendika is on his way to Vienna. It is stated that he arrived at Trieste, and is expected here to-morrow or the next day. With respect to the illness of the Grand Duchess, daughter of the Grand Duchess Helen of Russia, there are no hopes of her recovery. Her Highness is labouring under pulmonary consumption, which is peculiarly fatal in Vienna to some constitutions. It appears that his Majesty the Emperor has resolved to introduce oral proceedings in all civil muses. This reform, which is of immense importance to the hereditary states, will be hailed by all the inhabitants of the empire as the be ginning of a new era. The tedious mode of proceeding hitherto in use had given great power to the lawyers, and, especially in the capital, enabled them to accumulate great wealth. VIENNA, Ocr. 20.—The society of the Trieste Lloyd Dispatches send a steamer on the 2Gth of every month to Alexandria, there to wait fur the arrival of the mail from Calcutta by the Red Sea, so that the central states of Europe have now an opportunity of corresponding with India. As Trieste is in constant correspondence with Alexandria, this arrangement is very judicious, sad may tend to promote the hoped for change in the course of the Overland Mail. BERLIN, Ocr. 22.—The mission of the Duke Decazes, to Austria and Russia, has met with some impedi ments • the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg, it is said having spoken very decidedly on a certain transaction. Ocr. 24.—The Grand Duke Constantine, who has been residing in this capital for some time, and, as we hear, returns to St. Petersburgh at the latter end of this month, is reported in the higher circles to have been betrothed, during his visit at Weimar, to the youngest daughter of the reigning Duke of Saxe Altenburg. His bride, the Princess Alexandra, WU born on the 18th of July, 1830, consequently she is in her 17th year. 11.tmaultcrt, Ocr. 26.—A letter in the German Alkeincine Zeilung says :—" I can state to you, from a cre ditable private letter from Rome, that the life of the Pope is not safe. His Holiness has received many warnings, and must make a virtue of necessity. His dinner is served at 11 o'clock, and remains standing till one, till it is cold ; it is then examined by a chemist, and warmed on the dinner table over a spirit-lamp. His cup of chocolate for breakfast is prepared by the cameraris in his immediate presence. When he goes to mar he takes the host, the wine and the water with him. At a certain convent, where he lately in tended to administer the sacrament, he neither performed the ceremony nor took the usual refreshments. Such is the life of Pius IX., the greatest benefactor of the RomenStates. GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN, OCT. 21.—A change in the Baden cabinet is imminent, partly owing to the con tinued opposition manifested to the ministry in the second chamber. H. Marschall is pointed out as fature Minister for Foreign Affairs; Baron Dusch is to replace Baron Blit tersdorf at Frankfort, the latter to be appointed as ambas sador to the French court. _ - MUNICB, Ocr. 23.—A Royal reecript has just pro hibited the exportation of potatoes, conformable to the law of 18th Oct., 1845, in which Switzerland is this year in cluded. _ _ _ The Gazette de Cologne publishes some correspon dence, according to which it would appear that the govern ments of the two duchies of Mecklenburg Streit: and Mecklenburg Schwerin were ready to enter into the Cus toms Confederation. M. de Luteow, the directing minister, had brought the negotiations on the subject at Berlin to such a point, that it was expected the consummation of the measure might be formally announced on the opening of the approaching session of the delegates of the Union. It is to be preceded by the adoption of the monetary system of Prussia. In order to compass this desired object, the two Mecklenburg Governments would unite with the bourgeoise opposition against the old feudal nobility, who are strangely averse to, and will oppose it. Letters received at Austrian Lloyd's, at Trieste, from Galant and Braila, of the 6th Oct., state that the numerous vessels in those ports of the Danube, arc all engaged for conveying corn, and that they are difficult to be procured at exotbitant prices. This, as well as the high demands of the corn-merchants, is detrimental to an exten sion of corn-transactions. At Venice (10th Oct.) another rise has taken place in the price of corn. In the preceding week, besides lesser sales,lB,ooo ataja of maize were disposed of at from 4 to 41 florins, and 1,200 staja of wheat at 6 florins. Rice, notwithstanding the unusually good harvest, has risen one lira per sacco in nearly every part of Italy. The much talked of new German journal, which was to appear under the title of Deutsche Zeitung, has, it seems, been given up. A letter from Berlin, from an authentic source, says that the idea of the journal was thrown up, owing to the Prussian government having re fused certain concessions demanded by the projectors. SWEDEN.—KORRKOPPING, OCT. 21.—Their Ma jesties arrived here the evening before yesterday from Stock olm, by way of Tulgarn, and were received with gen^ral enthusiasm. The town was brilliantly illuminated. The magistrates and the elders of the city received them at the gates, and fifty young men on horseback, bearing torches, conducted them to their apartments. The Queen Dowager an ived soon afterwards. Yesterday being the 36th anniver sary of the landing of the late King in Sweden, a numerous deputation waited on his Majesty for permission to uncover The Madrid mails of the 23rd bring intelligence from Portugal. The Lisbon letters bear date the 17th inst. Reports of the most alarming kind were in circu lation respecting the personal danger of the Queen of Portugal and the King Consort The King, how ever, was still at Lisbon on the 17th, and the Espanol states that it was improbable that he would proceed to the seat of the insurrection in the north, as was previously reported. The insurrection has spread too widely to leave any hope of suppressing it by the forces at his disposal. It was not confined to Oporto or the northers provinces. The central provinces had also risen, the troops which garrisoned them having all joined the movement The garrison of the capital was already so much reduced that it was extremely improbable that the King would venture to withdraw from it a force too small to oppose the insurgents, and the departure of which would leave Lisbon un protected. The situation was regarded as becoming in the highest degree alarming, the insurrection having spread nearly to the gates of the capital. the fine statue of Charles John, which has been east at Munich, at the expense of the town. This permission hav ing been given, the ceremony took place with all the pomp due to the memory of the deceased king. AMERICA. The American papers received by the Hibernia famish us with a mriety of extracts. CHEAPNESS OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.—The most popular daily newspaper printed in the United States is the New York Sun. The regular morning edition of this paper exceeds fi:ty-one thousand copies. To print this enormous diti4 edition requires the constant operation, day and night, of two fast steam- presses. A third press is used for the Weekly Sun, having also an unparalleeld circulation. On an other press is printed the " T wenty-fi vc cent paper," a monthly journal. The Sun building is six stories high and one hundred and thirteen feet long. The secret of the wonderful success of this great newspaper establishment is Vie Lou' rate of its publications. The price of the subscription to the Daily Sun, delivered in any part of New York and surrounding towns, is but one cent per copy (equal to a halfpenny), nr three dollars a year (twelve shillings sterling). The ekly Sun is sent to subscribers in the country for one dollar a year (or four shillings sterling). The twenty-five cent paper is published monthly for one shilling sterling a year! The American Sun is aho published at the same establishment, and sent to subscribers in Europe fur six shillings sterling per year. PLESECUTION AND EXPULSION OF THE MORMONS.—At length the consequences of citizen being armed against citi zen have terminated in a conflict between the Mormons and anti-Mormons, in which four or five persons have been killed and several wounded. The immediate result of this intes tine war is the expulsion of the Mormons, who surrendered to the Illinois mob on the 16th September, and evacuated Nauvoo, intending to follow their brethren into the wilder ness. live Mormons remain at Nauvoo to sell their pro perty. For some years past a determined body of men have been organised to compel the Mormons to abandon their homes and property, and after assassinating their prophet and part of his family, have actually compelled 20,000 Mor mons to flee to the wilderness in poverty and destitution, to leave their well-cultivated farms, and from competence, ease, and comfort, they are reduced to the condition of wretched outcasts. _ A PROMISING SON.—The following paragraph from the Boston Daily Times will be news to Lord Brougham : Lord Brougham's son, who is yet a minor, and consequently dependent upon his father for support, has been noted some what of late for his attention to • young actress in the French Theatre. His father recently wrote the following laconic epistle: " If you do not quit nen, I'll stop your allowance." To which the son replied : "If you do not double it, I will marry situ." The son will enjoy a seat in parliament when he becomes of age. EMIGRATION.—The tide of emigration is now setting towards lowa and Wisconsin ; the soil is good and the land cheap, and it will continue to take that direction until the war in the south closes. A large sale of government lands will shortly take place in Florida. TILE INSURRECTION LN CASHMERE. (From the Bombay Telegraph, Oct. 1.) " The insurrection in Cashmere is headed by Shikh Emant-ood-been, the son of the former governor of the pro vince; and it is asserted, notwithstanding the strong denial of Rsjah Lall Singh, that the Lahore Durbar has had some thing to do in the way of fomenting the disturbance. It was at first stated that the Shikh, on the 3rd September, attacked Rajah Goolab Singh's troops with 12,000 men, took them by surprise, and detested them, killing several per sonages of note. All the British officers, save two, left Lahore on the commencement of hostilities, and Lieut. Edwardes proceeded front Lahore to Jamoo--Golab Singh's hill residence—for the purpose, it is said by some, of taking measures to ' bring Emam-ood-Dgen to reason." The place at which the battle took place,' observes the Delhi Gazette, ' is not mentioned, but we presume that it must h aye been in the neighbourhood of or somewhere beyond l'oonch, as the tribes of the valley of the Jhelum are specially named as having joined Emam ood-Deen, and they would hardly have gone so tar teem their horn..s as to encounter the Marajah's troops in the defiles leading to the Peer Pinjal Pass. It is said that in this engagement Goolab Singh lost 400 men, and all his guns. The whole of the hill chiefs are rumoured to have risen against him, and to have acknowledged Emant-oad- Deen as their leader,' professing at the same time the utmost anxiety to see us their rulers, but protesting against their being made over to Goolab Singh.' The Rajah has taken active measures to retrieve this reverse—his son having been sent off with a reinforcement of 5,000 men. The latest ac counts respecting Cashmere affairs arc to be found in the Delhi Gazette of the 19th inst., from which paper we take the following extract : "' An uraee was received from DeWill Hakeem Rae, stating that when he hurriedly wrote his first letter, regard ing the battle between the troops of Goolab Singh with Sheikh Emomsood-deen, stating the loss at 2000 killed and wounded on both sides he had not obtained the full particu lars ; but that now he was able to say on pretty good infor mation that Sheikh Emam-ood-deen having made one march from Cashmere, was attacked during the night by the troops of Rajah Goolab Singh. The Sikh being on his guard, de boded himself stoutly, and shout 200 people were killed on both sides. Two officers of rank on the side of Goolab Singh, and two officers of Sheikh Emam-ood-deep, fell in the conflict. " krom Hazareh letters we learn that the Mulkeea peo ple are continuing to make head against the authorities of Goolab Singh, under the leedershipof Moulvec Zamun Alec, Bewan Hurree Chund is unable to leaveMurkishunghur, Col. Outtum Singh had gone intothe camp of the insurgents to try and bring them to reason, but they threatened to shoot him, and he was glad to return to the fort with his life. The Mulkeeas are encamped about five koos from the fort. Rajah Goolab Singh has, it is confidently reported, ordered more troops towards Hazareh. From 3 ummoo we learn that Maharajah Goolab Singh, having heard of the de feat of his troops by Sheikh Emarn-ood-deen, had ordered a body of troops towards Cashmere. It is added that his pri vate orders to these were on no account to fight the Sheikh, but merely to prevent his proceeding towards Lahore. Au Urzec has come in from 13ewan Hakeein Rae, reporting his arrival at Rajaoree, and his conviction that he would soon be able to bring down the Sheikh. He was told, in reply, at once to report any opposition that might be offered to his return through Sohun Lall to the British authorities.'" What course will be pursued by the British government in reference to the Cashmerian Insurrection, does not yet appear. It would seem, however, that Rajah Goolab Singh, under the treaty, will have no right to call upon the British government to assist him in reducing his tur bulent subjects to order ; so that in all probability our troops will ere long he again engaged in hostilities, with the view of forcing an unpopular sovereign on a miserable and oppressed people. The Equivocal pro cedure of re-seating Shah Soojah on the throne of Cabool, in utter defiance of the wishes of those under his sway, is about to be re-enacted in the little king dom in the north-eastern corner of the Punjaub. It is lamentable that circumstances should necessitate this course of policy, for our government should never be per mitted to appear as the countenancer or conniver at deeds of oppression and injustice, or as the ally and supporter of a native tyrant. It may be said that it is our duty to afford our aid in putting down rebellion ; but the question arises whether the insurrection in Cashmere can be correctly cha racterised by that term? We confess that we do not think Lord Hardinge would be justified in re-establishing Goolab Singh as the ruler of Cashmere without the consent ' of the Cashmerians themselves to his assumption of regal power. The Rajah may deserve all the commendation that has been bestowed on him as a chief of superior vigour and ability ; but common report represents him as being fero cious as a wolf and cruel ass tiger; and it may be doubted whether these little defects in his character do not more than counterbalance the favourable and recommendatory attributes. For the British government to sae to the trembling Cashmerians, " This man we sam't to be blood-thirsty, grasping, and despotic ; hew ill rule you, we know, with a rod of iron ; you will be subjected, while he lives, to the most grinding and hopeless oppression ; but yet we are bound by treaty to place him securely on his throne, and lend him our aid to keep him there; and you must accept him whether you will or no, or we shall march an army into your country, and spread desolation far and wide !"—for such an address to be deli vered, we say, to these unfortunate people, by our benevo lent and upright government, would betoken • strange dis regard of moral principle, and departure from those laws which should govern civilised nations in their intercourse with their semi-barbaric neighbours. Yet the support of Goolab Singh would place the British authorities precisely in the position we have denoted. A " general insurrection " affords no mean or untrustworthy indication of the state of public feeling, and the refusal, on the part of our government, to view it in its proper light, will be tanta mount to establishing the doctrine that the strong may be permitted to tyraanise to any extent over the weak, if only political circumstances or the requirements of treaties, render such a course for the time expedient. The results of our interference it would not be difficult to foresee. A triumphant march of • British force into Cashmere—a royal installation, amidst the semblance of rejoicing, and a striking display of rude grandeur —a withdrawal, after a while, of our troops—a brief period if unrestrained oppression on the part of the monarch, and unparalleled suffering on that of the people—and then a sudden outbreak and a bold deed of assassination, destruc tive of the earthly prospects of the tyrant. These, doubt less, would be the leading events of the drama—thus would the curtain fall on the termination of the mortal career of Rajah Goolab Singh. We trust that, taking all these little matters into account, government will allow the Rajah to settle the existing differences in his own way with his re fractory subjects; or at any rate decline to render him the least assistance till satisfied that the Cashmcrians area little Inure anxious fur his presence amongst them than would ap pear frum the facts now known to be the case.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS.—Yesterday afternoon t quarterly court of the commissioners of sewers acting for ne ; limits of the Holborn and Finsbury divi‘i,,n s, was held # the office of the commissioners in Hatton-garden, furtit • despatch of business. Samuel Mills, Esq , the chair= if ' the board, presided over a court which was very Innen* , attended. The minutes of the list court having beesie l l and confirmed, and other routine business having bra ii posed of, the report of the committee for general purpose • works requiring immediate attention, and executed:moth last court, was read. The report announced several Tit in progress, and now approaching completion, whin fir • jurisdiction of the court. These included several o f ti er • lets from Holborn, the vicinity of Battle-bridge, the Tn. ; road, St. Pancras, Clarendon-road, Kentish -town, Lade parts of the same localities. In the Finsbury division, rap • with a view to improve the sewerage, were stated to he ; progress in Clerkenwell, Pentonyille, and elsewhere. A ' second report showed the disbursements for the last man in improvements, salaries, and other incidental expos amounted to a total of 6,411!. 6s. Ild. The cludia announced, with great satisfaction, that of this as no less than about 1,0001. had been contrioatal persons who had built premises, the sewers of aid had been brought into communication with those saki jurisdiction of the Court: so that in the martian* rate-payers had been relieved to the amount he haw tioned. Both these reports received the sanction mire firmation of the Court. A third report, which memo cited an application made on behalf of the directorsdh poor of St. Pancras, praying the construction of a INT ME from the workhouse under their control, was abowsil, The Chairman stated that the estimate for the mestes. • of the sewer in question was 2901., and of this sum the* cants offered to contribute 200/. Looking at the mita inmates in the workhouse, and the absolute necessity work, he could not but recommend the Court to Irma application.—The Court acquiesced, and the applications, acceded to, as were also several others of a similar chalet • but of minor importance.—ln the course of the proid. of the day, Mr. Hill called the attention of the Court tee extensive damage done in the lower part of the Claimed district by the extraordinary floods occasioned by await of the Ist of August last, and asked if any infonsatiosesil be afforded as to the cause of the calamitous &Westin 41 the property of the poorer classes who lived in that dialog.

If such was the case it was the duty of the Can to take steps to prevent the recurrence of such a calamity had visited the locality in which they were assembled.A. Wroe, the surveyor to the commiasioners, replied that tie chief cause of the calamity was the extraordinary fall drsa on the occasion referred to—a fall which amounted tom inches in one hour and a-half, and which had not hen equalled for the last forty years.—A conversation ea dm subject followed, in the course of which the chairman sued that, by the construction of a new line of sewers now is progress, by means of a tunnel under Canonbnrylerria , with a view to drain Holloway and all that increasing 1t trict, above the Model Prison, the dangersto be apprehmed from a recurrence of the late storm would be avoided.
