Gen. Cavaignac Wm the eve of entrusting to that officer the necessary means for defending the interests of French trade, sad consolidating French influence in La Plata, where it has been so much shaken. Such is the statement cf the Jwirnal des Dibats. The Simelphore its Marseilles more explicitly says that the French government has decided to send two men-of-war to La Plate, with 900 troops on board. TILE LEVANT. The Levant mail has brought in letters from our own correspondents, from Malta of the 12th, Athena the Bth, and Constantinople the 3th inst M . ALTA, Nov. 12. A report is current here that the British Govern seat has refused to acknowledge the new French consul, Colonel Peli.vier, on the grounds of his being an engineer officer. The French Vior•Adminl Bandit arrived here on the 9th from Tunis. The vitt of the admiral to Tame was to compel the Bey to acknowledge the Preach republic, and to obtain payment MT the expense of the squadron which the French governnti nt had sent to Tunis in 1846 to protect the Bey against the threatened attack of the Ottoman fleet. The Bey, after a tow boars' parley, and, it is mid, intimi dated by threats, acknowledged the republic sad the demand for menet. too. The Tunisian steamer of war Dante, a gift to the Bey trom Louis Philippe, arrived here also op the Bth, to roe. ive on beard the return presents from Boma Vittoria expected by the Feninaular and Oriental steamer Sultan. which vra,ri arrived on the 9th, and left the following day for Constantinople. The hesitlt of the troops hu improved since they have I been removed from St. Elmo, and the drains cleansed. The American government has given up Spezia, near Genoa, u a naval station, and gone back to their old one to Port Mahoo, in Minorca. The United States frigate, bear ing the broad pendant of Commodore Read, arrived at Gib raltar on the 2nd, and will probably remain there two months, awaiting the arrival of Commodore Bolton, in the Constitution frigate, his successor in the Mediterranean o:6llakand.

To enumerate them : Rear-Admiral Cesork, President of the Council and Minister of Marine; A. Leader, Minister of the Interior; Rhallis, Minister of Judea; Bulgaris, Minister of Finance ; C.

Manumit/talk, Minister at War; Celli:tones, Minister of Worship and Pablie Instruo. ties Thus, again, is the old Coletti party in power, for =CaLifronas, and Canaria won all of his party, sad the same opinions as when he wee is weer : add le these Cetecouosi, Wallis, sad Mavromiebsfis, all three teell known creatures of the court, and you may easily judge what will be the future destiny of Greece. Immediately the Waiters were maimed they issued the following ear mho :—'• Eland= d Greece.

There has been hut litffe stirring in the political world mina ley lest, and only two attempts at fires, owing to the vigi- Mesa now used. No more mention ie made of the cholera : it Is hoped that the cold weather has hours it to death. The fated Courhan &dram will commence on the 7th, and all the public offices will remain closed until the 11th. A fire Is the Jewish garter, at the bottom of the harbour, cos mama some sixty houses. There is but little doing in corn ; applies are slow, mites high, and no buyers, except for as sumption. The port is crowded with vessels ; freights are, emeasintly low : 7a. &I. has been taken to load corn for Lemke, , fis. 3d. to go to Varna. I expect the ship mate won't make a fortune this year. Accounts from Wallachia state that all is quiet in Ba dmen. The Russian General, Ludere, entered that city on Ws,_. 201 k alt. with a regiment of humeri, live battalions of maltrli and some artillery. General Refold has been nominated military governor of the city by the Russian army. Some movement has taken place at Calafat.

A Moment of infantry was ant to the spot, which succeeded in muting the chiefs and restoring tranquillity. The Wel kibitz militia have been organised. Fund Pasha is doing all he can to to-t out the abuses which existed in the late administration. Ms ex-prince Bibeeco is in Moldavia, on his way to St. Petersburg.

It wee Onside the Amens afiseno. day, that a heavy ente wm takiag for General Taylor. the voices of whose Mends were deep If set loud. A vast number of people. redly indifferent to polities, turned eel to give him their ballots ; and the whip evening pares did not hesitate to glair a victory. So it hag pined this ter ; and I think my predictions from the start, re-.,meat rise positively in my late communications, will In an ta rbelldft be verified. laden, it is anion morally certain that General Taylor has received 126 electoral ones. 1'171 . 4 on'y are smeary to a chore. The City of New York her been completely revolutiosised. When Mr. Clay no for pre. Indent he had In this city 2,000 lees votes than Mr. Polk— now Gen. Taylor has 9,800 majority over Goa. Cant The City and Gouty of Philadelphia give; Gen. Taster MOTO than eight thousand aisjnrity, double that meshed by the whip gonna( a few days ago. In every ovelaj of that state the majorities are largely ineirjr4 the mate will give 10,000 majority for the whMeee. In Boston the whip have largely pined. In this Wee the excitement for Taylor has swept all before it. Lamm* raajoritiss have bees given is his favour. It would net sac- pries me If he had 60,000 majority. Our intelligens up to I the lest nereset of analog this letter is, that the while have carried Mansaclnnette, 12 votes ; Aborts Island, 4 ; Cana tint, 6 ; Vermin% 6 ; New York, 36 ; Peansylvenia, 26 ; Delaware, 3 ; Maryland, 8 ; North Cuedine, 11 ; Kentucky, 12 ; total, 124. Per Omar Cass there is so certainty of any state as yet, though there are conceded to hiss this morning the following : Maine, 6 vein; New Hampshire, 6; Michigan, 6. M. Van Buren has not yet a single state. Ohio is at present doubtful, as the returns, by telegraph, are unfavourable to the come of Oen. Taylor. In addition, however, to the 124 seats already sure for him, there will be added the vote of Georges, 10 voles; Tennessee, 16; Lasing's*, 6; Florida, 3; while there is a fair chance for some of the other netts. The whip consider the election of their maiden a " died far" Thu free soil movement made by Mr. Van Buren and his Mends has had an action both ways. It has injured the whip in Ohio and the ncrth western stew. for then they ate generally opposed to slavery; and it has injured the domots in New York and Pennsylvania equally as much. It s i new pretty certain, by the largeness of Taylor's vote, that a great many persons have supported him quietly and without noise. The friends of Cam were sanguine of succor up to yesterday morning, end they laid wagers with a eon fidelities truly estonithiog. They always rely upon the dis cipline of party, but this time they have been mistaken. There is, no doubt, but the sterling private character o f General Taylor his had a gnat influence upon the decision of our most intelligent citizens. Two things in connection with this election strike us as worthy of notice. One is the great quietness with which this election of the rulerljof the union his been conducted. No other country can present such a spectacle. In Europe bloodshed and violence are necessary to bring about any such change. Here, it is a mere debate in friendship." Another is the proof which this choice of Gen. Taylor 'fords of the superior tact and sagacity of those statesmen who brought him forward es a candidate at this time. The Mends of Mr. Clay, who "go it blind " for their favourite, would have risked their whole party for this one person, sad, in risking, would have again been signally defeated. It is to be hoped that the wise counsels of Gen. Taylor's Mends may not now cease to influence public affairs. We look to a career of peace and prosperity under his admi nistration. We have bad rumours of the approach of the cholera in sans at the German vessels arrived at this port. But no appreheneksa exists here at prosaic in relation to its imme diate ravages. We look upon the threatened desolation with aunty, as we fear that in this city many thousands must fall before its assaults, since the lower wards are crowded with istnignnte, hundreds in a house, when filthy dwellings and disregard of personal cleanliness expose them to disease. These people will not go into the sonny where their labour is really required, but remain here to as sociate with their countrym-n and form false estimates of themselves and their importance. Many of them suppose that the question of free soil is one which will give them, if decided favourably,. right to go and select farms for them selves, without money and without price. Nothing can be more unfortunate than the hypocritical attention paid to these poor ignorant . creation by our designing p But for the votes given by freshly naturalised citizens many of oar meat <Wilma questions would be solved at once, tad In a proper meaner. The jealous es of the Germs scalar the Irish will, however, probably tend to nestralme this wretched iallaseas. Certain, it is, es I have already stated, the Americans, if they would but musk their honest egad meats, would not suffer these foreigners to vote at all. M.

He knew that a large quantity of bread sold was not fit for human consumption. In the course of last week, in the neighbourhood of Shoreditch, the queen loaf had risen in price, though the peke of flour had fallen. The report of a previous meeting was read, from which it appeared that it had been resolved to form • central board, having _delegates from districts in the metropolis to meet every Monday is hark-lase. Three districts were hosed in Westminster, St. Luke's. .ad the East of Lemien end from the latter a emaantuketims was read, *ling the determination of the bakers to cooperate with the AMPS of the central beard.—Hr. Brooke, the secretary, observed time it appeared Deeply SOO bakers of London—about one-third of the whole number—in the coarse of the last year had ins reduced to a Mate of insolvency. In the year 1814, wino the Loyd Mayor regulated the price of flour, they wen allowed 13e. 4d. on the sack. They would be satisfied with half that remuneration. Varian resolutions having beat adopted, subscriptions were entered into to carry out the object in view, and the meeting separated. VEOETARIAN Bocirrv.—Yesterday evening en en tertainment in furtheraace of the objects of this society, wes given at the Whittington Club, Mr. Mourn in the &sir. taalenan, in opening tne proceedings, steed that the present was to be looked upon as a public meeting at which the advocates of the vegetarian system were to submit their principles to the judgment of their lellew-citiseas. Oa the score of health he was himself • proof of the soundness of the system, and as to its soononly its efficacy could not be doubted for a moment. His belie wee that they would never have a healthy°, intelligent people so loag ae the flesh of animals wee token for food. (Dissent.) He had used animal food formerly, bat had abstained from it he many . years, and had bees improving in health every day since he bad No abstained. He believed that such abed nence would produce health and secure that true names d.nce without which there could be no true virtue.—Mr. P. Edwards said that this was no new question. Pythagoras, who lived to be nearly a hundred years was a vegetarian, as were also Zeno end Plutarch, and P opbyruv and Maud sus. In me dery times they had Shelley and Howard, the philanthropist Swedenborg, and last, though not lean, the great Sir 1. Newton. Those who ridiculed the system re pronlied vegetarians with living upon cabbage. But they isnot that wheat and barley, fruits of all climates. sago, rice, and at were available as elements in theta diet. They had th ' s authority of Liebig for suing that peas and other vegetables contained more ot the demoted nutrition than animal food. Vegetables were more Mame. lb* sad on the score of economy it was ascertained drift MIN plot of ground which would provide salmi hod M sae man would feed seventeen on vegetables. The pm* Lemertine was a vegetarian, as was also one whom lbw bog lately heard with sumach delight, he meant R.W.Besemea. Ile (11r. Edwards) was • disciple of the system, and had ow perienoed the moat beneficial effects from its adeleige.— With respect to the entertainment, we must in strict *der observe that it was not of a character to render the esgsessinn diet extremely popular with the public. A little sew mil 'election of materials might have given sore relisheaduristy. THE WEST RIDING ELECTION.—Sir,—As it seems the Hen. C. W. Wentworth Fitewilliam is to be allowed to walk over for this riding without opposition, people at • distance will naturally conclude that the claims of the honourable gentleman on the electors of this important dis trict must be paramount. Now, sir, what, let me ask, is the nature of thou claims ? It is tolerably clear to me that, if the honourable gentleman had had the misfortune to be bon a commoner, and had come forward at two-and-twenty to claim the high honour of representing in parliament this the largest constituency in England, it would have been thought the height of presumption, and he would have been simply laughted at for his pains; but because he happens to be a scion of the aristocracy, I suppose the poor electors are to take it for granted that,bom to superior rank, the hon. gentleman is equally born to superior intellect; this, however, report says, is not the case, but even if it had been so, a mere commoner would have thought it due to the electors before making their votes to convince them that the want of experience in their candidate would be more than made up by his intelligence. The hon. gentleman, it would seem, expects us to take this for granted, unless he grounds his claims to our support on the fact of his relationship to Furl Fitzwillima, and comes forward simply as the nominee of that nobleman. Now, sir, these are grounds that we can understand; but what grounds! Only last year, the sable e,rl thought Mr. Beckett Denison • better represen tative of the liberal interest in parliament than Itiohard Cobden ; this year he must think the Hon. C. W. Went worth Fitawilhant better even than Mr. Beckett Denison, or of coarse he would not have allowed that gentlemen to came forward as hie nominee. What, then, ought the liberal electors to think of Earl Fitawilliam ? Their estimate of the fitness of Mr. Cobden to represent them must be widely different from the estimate of the noble earl, who places his son first, Mr. Denison second, and Mr. Cobden lest, on his list. And yet we, liberals, are going to accept, almost with out a murmur, the aominee of the noble earl. Truly, sir, the aristocracy of this country are a highly privileged clam They have been allowed for a century or two to grind down the people under a weight of taxation, which they have taken cars should press as lightly as possible on their own shoulders, by throwing the bonbon of it on the middle and working dames ; while, at the same time, they have sentrived to put by far the largest portion of the produce of this taxation into their own pockets and the pockets of their dependents in the shape of Immures, pensions, and places, military or civil, at home or in the colonies. And yet, knowing all this, and suffering from it, no sooner does one of these gentlemen show himself a‘utcondescending for • while to ming)e wTtr n t herd, than we are ready one and all to fall dews I and worship his. It is by no mean surprising if finds l sons, as soon es, or even before, they have attained their majority, should think themselves fitted " to take the um ' mand of the Channel Hest," to be made Archbishops of Canterbury, or, if possessed of a more than ordinary share of modesty, should wait until the mature age of twr-and twenty before coming forward to repreeent in parliament the varied and important interests of the largest constituency la England.—A Wear RIDING ELECTOR. STREET Bitootats.—Some steps have been taken to abate the nuisance of street begging in London. The City Police Commissioner has ordered that all peewee found beg ging in the streets of the City be forthwith taken to the relieving officer of the neared anion; and if, upon investiga tion, it shall appear that the party is a known mendicant, let him or her be taken before the magistrate ; or if, In the absence of such evidence, the officer refuses to gin relief, then forthwith summon the relieving officer. A return is to be made to the chief office of the result of each case. The Sunday Tinsel gays: " The public are little aware of the ex tent to which this begging system is being carried on. It is actually exalted into • profession. Thus ' perambulating mendicants have regular rules laid down for them, and regu lar districts chalked out, to which they are compelled rigidly to adhere. Certain streets in the metropolis assigned to certain individuals, and certain villains in the country allocated to others, show the systematic manner in which their plass (unsparing on the public are carried into execu tion.

At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the New South Wales Bank, held on July 21, ,t was stab d that the balance of the profit and lon account for the half year amounted to 7,6131. 9d. - a dividend of five per cent was declared. It was stated at the meeting that the formation of a London agency had been a source of considerable profit to the busk. The affairs of the institu ties were declared to be in a most prosperous condition, and the value of its securities fully maintained. The electiors con tinued to form the theme of public:conversation and news. paper discussion. The seats that had gone a begging were to be costated by numerous eaudidates. Messrs.

His pros ' prat of election is said not to be favourable. Some idea may be gathered of the state of excitement caused by the elections from the fact of Messrs.

From Jan. 1, DM, to July 12, no less than 33,875 hales of wool were exported from Mel bourne to London end Liverpool, by twenty-one vowels; 2,815 casks of tallow (each averaging 10 cwt.) were also ex ported during the aims period.

These =statements best show the rising value of this colony, has more than doubled its exportations in ten years. la Jane last the town council addressed her majesty relative to the removal of Mr. C. J. La ?robe. But a few weeks alter that demonstration it was asserted by the Herald that Mr. La Trobe had been appointed the first lieutenant governor of Port Phillip. The Patriot gives a fiat denial to fie statement made by the Herald. The radical party, beaded by Mr. Faulkner, ha brought against Mr. La Trobe as charge of " patronising a man notorious for receiving Mhee ; •ay, bribes from all conditions of men—from half a demosof eggs. or a pound of butter, a to cattle, horses, ' and grog wines, champion. brandy or gin, or cheques no the lash." These cha rges: were directly levelled at Major St. John, J. P., commissioner of crown lands; but that functionary met the public de nouncement by a disclaimer, addressed to her msjesty's su perintendent, in which corruption "on the honour of a gentleman" is solemnly denied. Mr. Faulkner hos volunteered to prove his assertions, and there the matter rests for the present. The election for Port Phillip came off on the appointed day, and, as it was necessary that some one should be elected, the choice fell upon Lord Grey, who was e lected member of the legislative council of New South Wales. The result of the poll caused great excitement at Melbourne; triumphal processions paraded through the town.

Payne, the City coroner, instituted an inquiry before • jury of mere-Mosta, at the Old England coffee-house, Threadneedle.street, into the origin of the fire which, on Friday last, occurred in the reeding-room at Lloyd's. From the evidence it appeared that a stove at the extreme end of Lloyd's reading-room had been fitted Intone space of the window, and an iron belt or stay which held what is termed the fin lamp of the stove to the main brick work passed so close to the wood-work of the windows as to Sr. it. The jury found that the fire arose from want of due precaution in fixing the stove, and recommended the com mittee of Lloyd's to institute an investigation as to the plan adopted in setting thu moves throughout the building. INQUESTS, YEATERDAY.—VOLUNTARY STARVATION. —Before Mr.Wakley, M.P., at the Sugar Loaf, Great Queen street, on William Yates, an ivory and woad turner. aged 42. Deceased, who had for sometime evinced great eccentricity . of manner, had locked himself up in his room fors week, during which period it was supposed nu he took no nourishment. When he elimied the door he was found so exhumed that he had to be carried back to his bed. The most po ful stimulants were edministered, but he expired from pure inanition. It was further proved that deceased was surrounded by abundance, and that he starred himself. Verdict—" Deceased died of exhaustion from starvation, and that he starved himself in • fit of msdnem."— DEATH ring MAL/aim—Before Mr. W. Baker, at the Ship and Rising Sun, High-street Shadwell, on the rody of.lohn Morris, aged fire years. The deceased was the son of very poor persons, living at No. 4, Charles-plus, Love-lane, and was a very delicate child from his birth. On Thursday after noon last, the deceased complained of pains in his chest and head, and on the following morning being no better, his mother procured an order for the attendance of the p arish surgeon. The deceased expired the same day. Mr. Rem, the surgeon, stated his opinion that the demised died from congestion of the brain and lungs, produced by the malaria arising from defective drainage, there being no sewers near their dwelling. The mother of the deceased further stated that the whole neighbourhood was constantly affected with an °empyreans effluvium arising from a drain running be neath the houses, which, harms no outlet, was choked up with frond matter, and always overflowed. The lower part i of these dwellings was always damp, and not infrequently under water after heavy rains. The house was composed of two rooms, each about 12 feet square, and nine perions slept in one of the rooms. It was stated that Mr. Burn, the re airily appointed inspector of nuisances for the above distric*, had died on Sunday last from fever, which he took whilst attending to his sanitary duties. Verdict, " Natural death," and the Coroner said he would lay the case before the board of guardiscs of Stepney min. ABUSES IN THE MINT. The Liverpool reformer, have issued another of their publications, in which they say :—ln the section on taxation the Financial Reform Association referred to the fact that a sum of 7,004,4381. was appropriated to the pay ment of public servants in various departments under government, without being voted by the House of Com mons, or even paid into the Exchequer. The proof of that enormous sum of public money being so disposed ot was derived from official returns, published by authority of Par liament. One of the items which make up that gross amount was thus expressed :—" Mint-office, 2891.' If this were correct, and if all the other items represent the sums paid to public servants in the several departments named, and no more, it would follow that 2891. is all that k taken rom the Mint and not paid into the Exchequer: all I that the public servants of the Mint take as salaries. This h not comet, and its extreme discrepancy with fact throws a doubt over the whole amount of 7,004,4381. There is a sum of 70,0001. voted for the expenses of the Mint; besides which, very considerable sums, net ascertained, are appro prated without being accounted for. It seems that neither the Master of the Mint, nor the go vernment of which he is a member, have sufficient power to compel the public servants of that department to render an account of their emoluments. The Master of the Mint, the Right Hon. Richard Lalor Shell, giving evidence before a committee of the House of Commons on the miscellaneous estimates, 6th June, 1848, stated of the public servants in his department—" They have refused to produce their cash-book, and they have refused to state their amount of waste, which I conceive to be en important ingredient in the consideration of tbe Master of the Mint in entering into an agreement as to the amount which he should pay them. I bend in my hand a return made by Sir Jasper Atkinson" (one of the gentlemen public servants who would not show the cash book) " of the profits of the company from the year 1837 to the year 1847. The profits from 1837 to 1841 were 242871. 7s. ltd. The profits from 1842 to 1847 were 105.1871. 12s. 11d. There are but five moneyers at present, and those five gentlemen have, from 1842 to 1847, divided among themselves the sum of one hundred and five thousand one hundred and eighty-seven pounds, twelve shillings and eleven pence." This sum being spoken of as profits, the public might be misled to think the company was a trading or manufacturing firm, working on their own capital, at their own risk. But it is not so. They are paid out of the taxes, and have profits from a mysterious source called waste; but they refuse to tell what the waste is. The chairmen of the committee, Mr. Vernon Smith, asked the Muter of the Mint, " By whom is this 105.1871. 12s. 11d. paid ?" To which Mr. Shell replied, " That is paid by the public." And then, toe ques tion from Dr. Bowing, he proceeded to say, "The monere,s have an estate, and they have also, in what they call their corporate capacity, property . in the funds and other neuri tic'. They have refused to Inform us of the amount of their landed estate, or to furnish us with the rental, or any ac count of any property which they hold in what they desig nate as their corporate capacity. They say that we have no right to investigate that subject. They have stated to us their profits upon the coin age, without, at the same time, giving us any means of judging of the acenrsey . of their re turn, because they have refused to produce then cash-books. They were asked what was the amount of the waste upon ' the coinage, and they refused to state it." Sir George Clerk, a member of the committee, endea voured to elicit from the Muter of the Mint that, in the event of there being no coinage for a lengthened period, the moneyers might become very poor, and that, therefore, to secure their respectability, it is to the interest of the public to pay them as they an paid. Bat, as Sir George Clerk is himself a public pensioner to the amount of 1,2001. per annum, after filling 'event well-paid offices, his suggestions do not appear to the Financial Reform Association particu larly valuable on any subject of government economy. The Muter of the Mint, himself the recipient of 2,0001. per annum, says to question 5,669, " The Mauer of the Mint has very few duties to perform " And the master melter has stated that since the year 1837 his profits upon the melting alone have been 38,9811. Ile. 4d. But the much higher profits derived as a refiner he refuted to disclose, though he promised to do so at a future time. Notwith standing the large incomes of the muter melter, the moneyers, and the assayers, their various assistants, clerk!, porters, and so forth, are paid out of the annual vote of 70.0001. from the national revenue. The company of moneyers, who receive the metal from the deputy of the Master of the Mint and from the minter, and reader it into coin, has at times consisted of as many as fourteen persons, thou gh commonly of a lesser number. A member enters as an apprentice, and rises by seniority. The fewer the members, the greater is the amount of waste to each when it is divided. The number of members being regulated by the supply of apprentices, the supply of these seems to be, in turn, regulated by the number of children born in certain happy families of Atkinson and Franklin,. In the department of the Mint, as in most other depart meats of the public service, the duty performed is not pro portioned in quality to the excess of payment. Mr. Shell, on being required by Sir George Clerk to say " if the cost ot manufactunng coin in this country is higher than it is in France, is the work not of a superior quality ?" replied, " I have heard various opinions about the work executed at the Mint. Mr. Hawkine, who is the head of the medals depart ment in the British Museum, informed me that our coins are very imperfectly executed." To another question, Mr. Shell replied, I have heard that the coinage could be executed for much less than is now paid to the moneyers." It appears, from evidence laid before the parliamentary committee, that the cost of coinage in America, in France, and in every country of Europe, is much less than in Eng land. Sir Jasper Atkinson, the provost of the company of moneyen, however, finds an excuse for this excess of expense in England in the fact that "in this country every public duty , is more largely remunerated than in other countries.' It is this fact, and the additional one that many large payments are made for du ties never performed, and to privileged idlers never expected to peform any duty, which has brought the Finan cial Reform Association into existence. It is this fact that the taxes of Britain are wasted to a measure of extravagance unparalleled in any other country which has made the mem bers of the Financial Reform Amocistion pledge themselves to one another and to their country to go on, and et satisfied, until taxation is equalised, industry uplifted and relieved, and public duties are paid according to their merits."

Hamm, Baroness de Speth, the Marchioness of Nortaanby, Col. the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Sir G. Cooper. IT IS FEARED that Lord Melbourne is dying. At one time the family at Brocket did not expect on Thursday that he would live through the day. On Friday he rallied ; and on Saturday morning he still continued rather better. But the impression is that though he may linger on for a week, or even longer, he cannot recover. The above has been communi cated to us by a correspondent on whose information we can rely. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN, it is understood, has been induced to tender an apology to Captain Gerard Noel, of the 11th Humus, for the insulting expos sions he addressed to that officer ; and upon this apology , the last affair in that regiment has been the separation of the children from the female paupers, and their transmission to an additional workhouse. The mothers at first would not be re moved from their children, but in numbers tumultu ously followed them th rough the streets on their removal. They were, however, induced to return , and the affair was ended after t he demolition of • few squares of gloss. In Carlow the board of guardians have determined upon employing the paupers in in benne operations, the making of materials for clothing, &c., and they calculate in this way upon effecting a larg saving fur the ratepayer., while they will enable the paupers to attain industrial knowledge, whereas they now live in the workhouses either entirely idle, or, if occupied, are engaged upon unprofitable labour. In a northern union, upon a farm attached to the workhouse of less than eight acres, they have reared produce this year to the value of 1181, and, among other advantages, have maintained four much cows for the house. The labour employed in this farm was that of four able bodied paupers continually, and the occasional ambit nee of some boys belonging to the house. In Athlone onion the guardians have established a manufacture of linen and woollen goods for the use of the inmates. The women spin the yarn, and perform the other mani pulations, and the cloth is woven outside the house. The men, meantime, are engaged in agricultural ope• rations. They have made bed-rugs of such a demote fabric, and yet so reasonable in cost, as to have their work held out by the commissioners, in a general cir cular to all the unions, as worthy of imitation. In the union of Thurlea the gentry appear to have come to a wise and provident resolution—rather to give employment than defray the cost of relief. Mr. Car den, of Bernane, has intimated to the guardians that he has employment for 200 labourers in draining, dm. ; Mr. Ryan, of Inch, will also give employment to a large number of men and women; and Mr. Trent. besides affording employmem, is forgiving all arrears, and otherwise assisting those of his tenantry who wish to emigrate. If the gentry of the other poor-law unions throughout Ireland would imitate this example, we should not hear so much either of the oppressiveness of the Boor-law or the misery of the people. A barge, corn laden, was attacked on the Shannon a few nights since, and property to the value of 1801., carried off. The farmers' houses in the south are _ attacked almost nightly and robbed of money or pro visions. We have the customary number of such attacks to-day. The parties who commit them are of course armed, and on Wednesday night last the police dis covered some hundreds, doubtless of such vagabond., armed and drilling near the wood of Coolnamuck. The farmers in the neighbourhood complained next day that their houses had been attacked the previous night. the suppression of the canteens in military barrack; does not seem to conduce to temperance among the soldiery. Since their discontinuance drunkenneis and rioting among the soldiers out of doors has very much increased. SCOTLAND. - The Bersosek Warder says : " On Sunday the 12th inst., three starrier s (1) took plate at Lumberton Toll, all within an hoar and a half ; and a fourth couple aeries it the same:evening. It is disgraceful to the legislature that the law ie allowed to remsin in such a rate as to permit a contract of this solemn nature being made under circumstances of not ing and drunkenness, the rite administered by an ignorant pretender, and the institution itself turned into ridicule and burlesque.

CUANGES AT MILFORD I{AVEN.—A correspondent, under date Nov. 18, 1849, writes " It may at length he said th►t the mail packet station between this place and Water ford is fairly abolished. The lest of the steamers, the Jasper, left during the past week for Woolwich to be paid off. The services of Com. Dunn, R.N., borne on the book. of the Royal Sovereign Yacht to superintend the establishment, have also been dispewed with, all the engineers sent to Woolwich, and each of the packets paid off at that port. The two light vessels placed on the Weir tongue and the Carr rocks for their convenience, have been also removed, and are now offered for sale by the Admiralty. Buoys, how ever, for the safety of the navigation (which cannot be made too generally known) have been placed at their moorings. By these arrangements a saving of nearly 30,0001. a year his been effected. It has not yet been definitively set tled to what purpose the pier, built at a considerable expellee for the accommodation of the,packet station,will he devoted; but it is expected it will be turned to account by the Board of Ordnance, at whose charge it was originally constructed. A cavalry barracks in that vicinity is in conternplvion by the Ordnance, the ground for which has recently turn pur chased, and the site determined upon by the author:lies." PROVINCIAL. lANCASIIIRE. _ A POLITICAL AUCTIONEER.-SALE OF CHARTIST Pll[6lE—About noon on Thursday last, Mr. John Howarth, an auctioneer, resident at the village ot Heady hill, near Hey wood, was selling by public auction, in the market-place Heywood, some goods which had been taken und , r a warraai of distress for arrears of rent (about 51.), from the house of Edmund Crabtree, a fustian cutter, at liardfield. Amongst the articles offered forsale were a number of Chartist pikes, a grind-atone for sharpening them, &c. At the opening of the sale the auctioneer said he bad something to VII by public auction which no other auctioneer in England, he believed, had ever been called upon to sell ; and it would be requisite for him to make a speech. He then gave a historical account of the late chartist drilling, its rise, progress, and fall. He said that at the village where he rtsided, a few months ago, there were 37 private chartists, one colonel or general, two captains, two lieutenants, two antiwa r turee sergeants, and a Corporal Horrocks. The last-mentioned never wore • hat in his life. He believed the whole corps had deserted their ranks. The auctioneer then offered three pikes and • screw driver for sale in one lot. There were five bidders, but finally the articles were sold to a person named Fielding, from Middleton, for 3a. 3d., but no sooner had he purchased them than a person called him aside, and request , d them to be sent te a magistrate in the neighbourhood, who wanted them as a curiosity in commemoration of the late intended rebellion in England. Mr. Fielding instantly consented, and the pikes were forwarded to the magistrate. They are of the following description One of them has • sharp blade, 13 inches in length; the iron socket is 12 inches long, asd the staff, which is painted green, is 8 feet 6 inches in length The other is a blade 12 inches long; the iron socket 2 feet, end the staff, made of ash, 8 feet lcng. The next I. similar to a Spanish dagger. The blade is 7 inches long. The handle, which has • brass hoop, is 5 inches long. The three pikes and screw driver are said to be of the Mollineux kind, and were worth at the time the English rebellion ebonld have taken place, about 12s.

TEE NEW FOREST:atilo7l;nts Telegraph t i ;- Hakes the following extract of letter from Isaac Low, deputy commissary genre, to H. C. Compton, Eirk., M, dated Lyndhurst, Nov. 11, 1848:—" Also, if it is or is not intended to take any steps to get rid of the deer previously to the severity of the winter; and if not, why not? officially. And all that could not be kept at New Park, should be en closed elsewhere, or got rid of by transferring, killing, or ' selling en mare, or given away ; in which I am borne out by the evidence before the committee of the House of Cod mots, which contains the list of those for whom the deer are kept; and they ought to blush to think that they are con tinuing to tolerate an abuse, and one of the greatest nuisances, at the expense of cottager', whose vegetable gardens are often destroyed is a few hours, which have most them hours of labour after they hays been toiling throughout the day to gain a scanty sufficiency to allow the necessaries of life, merely to afford an additional pam pering luxury to men who can best afford to pay for any and every luxury they wish for; particularly as the 120 deer for the Queen never go to her Majesty's tab:e or con tribute to her amusement in any way. The same subject had been discussed with the Right lion. Sturges Bourne and myself, which led to unpleasant letters passing to no purpose ; and the keepers have now orders, as Mr. Low has been informed, to shoot all the does, and which has already been carried into execution to a large extent, and given to proper persons to distribute in their respective parishes. I should feel indeed more than happy if I could be the means of promoting the same unhesitating decision and prompt action, with reference to every abuse and nuisance which has been proved before the committee of the House of Commons, according to the printed report."

COMPETITION POI THE NEW COINS OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.—Mach difference of opinion has been exhibited by the critics in Pais on the subject of an exhibi tion at the Paris mint of the specimens furnisbei by several competitors for the future coinage of the republic. In one point all are agreed, namely, that the exhibition of talent is mediocre. Is this competition to have the same result as that of the representation of liberty ? There are 22 compe titors, of whom four are described as having chances of prizes. Of these four, the productions of the first, M Do curd, are described as clever, but wanting character. Those of M. Bane an considered novel and singular. He has crowned the head of the Republic with a diadem of ten or twelve children, figuring the abundance and fertility which must result from &republican government. This species of emblem is not considered poetic. M. Alard'e work is de
