The quidnunc*. of Dublin are straining their inge nuity iu the matter of rumours about miuistenal changes. The following, from the Dublin Evening Herald of last night, is the latest issued : It is rumoured that Lori Granville will immediately sue ' eeed the Earl of Clarendon u Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His Excellency the present Viceroy, it is said, goes to the Home Offiee, vice Sir Grey, whose declining health con. strains him to retire. Another rumour says that the Earl of Carlisle will be the new Lord Lieutenant. The members of the Packet Station Committee, with the Lord Mayor of Dublin at their head, have been feasting and enjoying themselves in excellent style at Limerick; while the people of Galway have been looking on from a distance, not without some misgivings, it is to be presumed, lest the good fare and cordial reception might have any effect in mak ing the rival harbour seem better than their own. The committee proceeded yesterday down the Shan non, accompanied by a large nuniber of Limerick gentlemen, among whoni were :—Lord Arundel, M.P. ; William Monsell, Esq., M.P.; Sir Matthew Barrington, Bart., and Son ; Fraucis Spaight, Esq., President of the Chamber of Commerce; Alderman Henry Watson; Richard Russell, Esq., .1.1'.; Henry Maunsell, Esq., High Sheriff of tue county Limerick ; Archdeacon K.eatiuge; Alderman Gears ;- Captain Dickson; Thompson Russell, Esq. • The following is a brief account of the day's pro ceedings, which I extract from Sattnthrs's -News Letter : The weather proved most unfavourable fur the trip, there being a head wind, and very rough and boisterous waves, the entire way down from Limerick to Foyacs Island, a distance of 25 miles; but it is only just to say, that as soon as the steamer entered this harbour, there was complete shelter, a desideratum which, I need scarcely add, was very acceptable, as many on board wen evincing a disposi tion to sickness. Decidedly it is an admirable situation, as the largest ship could anchor at low water, the soundings being 45 feet at low water flare the Lord Mayor of Dub lin, and the greater portion of the company, disembarked, and proceeded to :alountrenchard, the residence of Lord Monteagle, whose mansion and demesne were much ad mired; also the New Quay and Duck at Foynes, from whence a railroad is contemplated to Limerick, a dis tance of 20 miles. On returning to the steamer, a sumptuous skieurter was prepared for the company. After dinner the Mayor of Limerick proposed the health of the Queen, which was drunk with applause. He next I proposed, in suitable terms, tkc health of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, to whose worth and merit he made happy allu sion. The Lord Mayor acknowledged the compliment, and said the provisional committee were truly grateful for the kind hospitality they experienced in Limerick, adding that all were pleased with the excursion, and sensible of tho eligibility of Foyncs as a transatlantic packet station. Ile concluded by proposing the health of The Mayor of Limerick." The health' of the County and City Wpm sentatives, the Directors of the Great Southern anti Western Railway, the Provisional Committee, the Directors of the Limerick and Waterford Railway, the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, the Lady Mayoress of Dublin, Sir Matthew Harrington, the President and Members of the Chamber of Commerce, Alderman Watson, the High Sheriff of Dublin, the Mayor Elect, Captain Sibthorp, and Captain Kennedy of the Lrin, were severally toasted and responded to. The company spent a most convivial and pleasant day, and returned to xamerick at half-past 5 o'clock. At six the Lord Mayor of Dublin and party left by special train, having taken cordial leave of their Lime rick friends, to whom they expressed thanks for the kind ness and attention paid. The fair of Ballinasloo concluded yesterday with the miscellaneous or poor man's fair, where the bu siness was extremely brisk and the prices rather better in proportion to the quality of the animals sold than on the preceding days. The following statement gives a final and complete return of all stock (horses excepted) sold and unsold during the fair, the last day included : Sheep. Oxen. Two-yr-old Year- Calves. heitirs. Sold 47,564 10,391 615 213 63 Unsold.. 3,789 1,478 699 193 63 Total.— 51,343 11,869 1,214 411 111 Subjoined are the returns for the boat year : She d. Oxen. Two-year• Year old. lingo. Sold Unsold 2,494 6,283 117 54,092 15,219 467 109 The guardians of the South Dublin Union were determined that they should not be behind their brethren of the west and south in endeavouring to evade the repayment of the government debt. At their meeting yesterday the following resolution, modified from a longer and more repudiatory one, was unanimously adopted : That, with reference to the resolutions of the Rathdrum and Thurles Boards of Guardians, now read, we hereby declare our conviction that the guardi ins should not be called on to levy money for any other purpose than those connected with the administrauon of the l'oor Belief Act, and we declare we will not do so. Therefore we disclaim all demands made on us upon the score of any unpaid balance of labour rate. This board takes this opportunity of declaring that we admit and will discharge the Just debts of our union, on the wore of workhouse loan and balance of temporary r.:lief advance, and we deem that same should be accepted by moderate instalments, without interest, and that immediate payment for any portion thereof should not be pressed for in the more distressed unions throughout Ireland. The Carrick-on-Shannon guardians, with the Mar quis of Westmeath at their head, have also nibbled at repudiation, though not in the bold and straight forward tone of Lord Lucan and his friends in Mayo. In Cork, the guardians have adopted a memorial to Lord John Russell, in which they lay : - - That the Poor Law Commissioners have recently made a claim on them of 18,743 t. 3s. 4d., amount of a loan from Use treasury for building the union workhouse. That while they are willing to acknowledge and discharge all fair lia bilities, they respectfully submit that the whole of this amount ought not in justice be demanded from them far the fellowiug reasons:—That, first, in utter disregard of the repeated remonstrances and protests of the ratepayers, the workhouse was built in a hollow, on part of an im proved bog, and that in fact a worse site could seamely have been selected for the purpose. That the sewerage, drainage, and ventilation arc consequently defective, and they feel it unnecessary to remind your lordship that in an establishment where six thousand human beings are frequently congregated, and about one-third of them suffering from various diseases, these are matters of primary importance. That with reference also to another indispensable requisite, good water, the position of the house has been most unfortunately chosen, so the supply is limited in quantity and objectionable in quality, and is often rendered unwholesome by the filtration of offensive matter from the sewers and cesspools, owing to the low situation and imperfect drainage ; and that rather than there should be a deficiency in a matter so essential to health and cleanliness, the guardians have now had under consideration a proposition for obtaining a supply of pure water from a distance, and at heavy expense, tor the use of the esta blishment. That when the house was given up to the guardians by the commissioners it was understood that the =ewas perfect. Yet the board have since been te expend over 3,0001. in endeavouring to remedy its defects, that it still requires further improvement, and they apprehend that from the nature of the site it can never be put in a satisfactory condition. That in several other re spects, the house when taken possession of by the board, was far from being in a finished state, several of the dormitories, and even hospital wards, being unfioored, and that the guar dians have been obliged to expend about sixteen thousand pounds from the rates of the union in supplying defects, making necessary alterations, and providing proper accom modation for the destitute poor. That the expense of the additional buildings which a due regard to the health of the inmates oblige them to erect has been greatly in creased by the swampy nature of the locality, rendering it most difficult to make • sufficiently secure foundation. That the guardians are aware, however, that the serious error committed with reference to the site cannot be remedied, but they respectfully submit that the large additional out lay occasioned by the dogged obstinacy of the commissioners Shea in office, ought not, in ,justiot, to be visited upon the ratepayers of tbts impoverished union, who would have prevented the necessity for it, had their strong and urgent appeals met with the attention to which they ware entitled. That the guardians respectfully submit these facts to your lordship', calm conside.ation, and trust that under alt the circumstances of the ease you will feel yourself at liberty to recommend a reduction in the claim now made to • slim in fair proportion to the value received, and they would beg to state their opinion that if the demand for the building loan of 18,7431. 3s. 4d. were fixed at ten or even twelve thousand pounds, it would tend much to remove the dis satisfaction of the ratepayers, and the board would make arraegementa for the payment with as little delay as pos sible.

THE GREAT Two DAY, Two o'CLocx. For the last Saturday's exhibition the Crystal Palace opened at nine o'clock instead of twelve, but the early muster wu thin, though it included a large number of the agricultural community, and a considerable proportion of railway arrivals. At 11 o'clock, according to the police reports, the numbers were 11,000, but the weather, which was unpropitious in the beginning hsving cleared up, the visitors began to increase, and by twelve o'clock the usual Saturday visitants began to arrive in carriages and cabs, so that there is every prospect of a very full Saturday. The day has proved very fine, with a bright sunshine, and the closing day promises to be one of the finest of the 'mason. AlrZady a very gay company is assembled, and a brilliant reunion has taken place, many of the fashionable world having returned to be in at the death." Herr Som mer and other distinguished musicians are in attendance, and a musical display is .o occupy the afternoon. The Palace never looked so well; everything has been cleaned, the building is not too crowded, the crystal foun tain glitters in the sun, and within a few hours the assem bled multitude will witness the close of the Exhibition in all its sheen and glory. commENML AND MARKETS. WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE MARKETS. MINCING-LANZ, SATURDAY MORNING. The Colonial markets close this week with rather more firmness, and prices of most articles of produce remain steady. Holders of swear have offered very little at auction, and consequently former quotations have been stea dily maintained. At the close of last week a good demand was experienced for Coffee. Native Ceylon was sold at 40s. to 40s. 6d., and the plantation kinds at very full rates ; subse quently a fall of 6d. to Is. was submitted to, but this has again been recovered. For fire there has sen good in quay, and large parcels have changed hands at a rise of 3d. to 6d. per cwt. The Tea market is without any mate- I rial a!teration ; common Congou having been sold on rather easier terms. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1851. RA IL WA I T THIS DAY. _ Two o'Ctocs. There is very little movement in shares to-day, but the market maintains its firmness. Prices are generally well supported at the improved rates which ruled at the close of yesterday's market, whilst in several instances, rather better terms have been con ceded, including London and North Westerns, Mid lands, Lancashire and Yorkshires, East Lancashires, Caledonians, and some others. SHARI% MC= LINOVAIRANTEID. ,[THREEPENCE. MONEY MARKET. Telegraphy is making rapid strides as a commer cial instrument. It is but a few weeks suiee the proprietors of the Daily News and Times surprised the exehanges of the metropolis and great EngEsh towns by giving the previous day's quotations hunt all the great continental bourses, and signalised the commencement of this great achievement by saving the mercantile interest several thousand pounds in tho negotiation of one day's bills on Vienna. It was but last week that the completion of the submarine tele graph was announced. Thisiwock we have to report the opening of the Continental Telegraph Office by Mr. Julius Reuter, the telegraph agent, who has hitherto had the conduct at Ostend of the despatches for the great telegraph operations, and who has now opened offices in Calais and London, the latter at No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, close to the great mer cantile establishments. Already Mr. Reuter com municates with nearly one hundred continental stations ; and for most of them he offers the choice of the Ostend and Calais routes, the former being the cheaper, the latter the quicker. It will be seen with surprise that this establishment communicates with Venice, Pesth, and Cracow, and with all the commercial capitals within that range. The prices in the infancy of the esta blishment must be considered moderate, as a despatch Ego_ reagt tat Groom fix- tiro-azid-twigety frs. These rates will of coarse with the aug mentation of the traffic be further reduced. A I'aris despatch can be sent for six and eleven pence. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. Although the tendency of the Paris Bourse con tinues decidedly downward, the stock market here is wellsupported, the evidences of a flourishing revenue and an active and prosperous state of trade being suffi cient to counteract any uneasy feeling respecting foreign politics. The Bank returns of last night are regarded as decidedly favourable, as, though the in crease in the stock of bullion is small, considering the extensive imports, the circulation is perfectly usual at this season, as accounted for below. But, indeed, it is difficult to imagine how any deduction other than of the most favourable character could be drawn from any variation which might bo exhibited in this item of the Bank's account, with the metallic fund of the establishment standing at the high figure of nearly fifteen millions sterling, an amount much too large fur the interests of the proprietary. Consols opened at 961 to 97 for cash, and since the arrival of tho Continental mails have receded to 901 to whilst for de livery in November the rate is 961 to 97. A good deal of influence is at this time exercised by the position of the account which expires on Tuesday, and which now in muse of ' are now dtlowable in the l Ver t s'clicli have been shut for the last month, upon pay ment of a special fee of 2s. ad., the business of the morning has been rather more varied than of late. Friday next is the regular day for re-opening the books of Bank Stock, the 'three per Cent. Re duced, Long Annuities, and annuities for terms of years, whilst those of the Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. will not be available for the common course of business till the 21st. Tho official list of the day's transactions is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, 97, 961; ditto for account, 961 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, 1, 90 ex div.; New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents., 97 2 „ 1, ex div. Bank Stock, 212, 2111 cx div.; India Stock, 260. The upward movement of the unfunded debt, usual at this season, continues. Exchequer Bills have been bought at 495. premium, the present quotation being 16s. to 495. prem., and India Bonds, which opened at 51s. to 51s. prem., have been taken off at 555. prem., being in each case a rise of Is. There is no change in the lOreign market, and the business is too unimportant to require a word of comment. Mexican Bonds are supported at a slightly improved rate, but there is scarcely any disposition evinced to take up this stock under present circum stances. Four descriptions only are marked as having been dealt iu this morning, the official figures being as follows : French Five per Cent. Mattes, 92f. Exchange, 25f. 20c. Mexican Bonds, 271. Sardinian Five per Cents., 82. Spanish Three per Cents., 384. A prominent topic of conversation in the City has been the condition of the South Wales banks. The strongest fears arc entertained that large advances have been made to some of the ironworks, and that a meat disastrous winding up will take place. The more alarm is created as one of the banks failing is a large joint stock establishment with a paid-up ca pital of 200,000/., ample, under prudent manage ment, for the proper conduct of the business. Some go the extent of assailing the joint-stock principle, though as yet there are no grounds for any such in ference. It is perfectly true that the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire is a joint-stock bank, and there is good ground for assuming that it has been ill managed. Its vices, however, are not the pure off spring of joint-stock banking, for this bank was a private bank, converted into a joint-stock bank under the same management. So far from its afford ing a case against the joint-stock system it comes in good time to supply a strongeaseiu its favour. It is but lately that the private bank of Raiford and Wragge, who had been concerned iu colliery and other spe culations, failed, leaving miserable assets for the cre ditors. It seems likely, from present accounts, that the Monmouthshire and Glamorgaushke Bank will wind up under similar circumstances ; but, whatever the assets under the trading, the loss of the customers will be made good from the contributions of the 350 shareholders, though sonic of these latter may be found wanting. Notice has been issued that the dividends on the sterling canal bonds of the state of Illinois, arising out of the collection of the mille tax prior to the 30th June, will be payable next week, in the follow ing proportions, viz.: On 1001. bonds, 12s. Bd.; on 225/. bonds, 28s. ad.; and on 3001. bonds, 38s. The foreign exchangesyesterday afternoon agtin pre sented a somewhat downward tendency, and quota tions were in several instances a trifle lower. This is owing entirely to lower rates fur bills on London being advised from the continent. From Spain, Portugal, and Italy, on the other hand, the exchange on London comes higher, and in consequence drafts on those places arc here considerably in favour of buyers. Short Paris was done at 25.25 to 274; ditto, 3 months at 25.421 to 471. Amsterdam main , toned last post's rate of 12 to 1, but Hamburg was a little lower, closing 13.91 to 10. St. Petersburg was in fair demand, but only at 361, at which price several negotiations were effected ; parties insisting on a better price could not sell their paper. Drafts on Sicily . found scarcely any purchaser, and the quotations are merely nominal. Bills on Italy, being generally much offered, were very difficult of sale, with the sole exception of Naples which ruled at 404 to I. Spain was not in demand, and therefore) flat; 'but Portugal was decidedly worse, closing 524 to 53. Vienna and Trieste were again higher, the limited transactions that took place being done at 12.14 to l 6 for the former, and 12.10 to 18 for the latter. The prices negotiated are as follows : Time.

This result was anticipated by us a few days ago. None of the West India supplies have as yet been placed. For other descriptions of bullion there is no change in prices. Tho Paris exchange on London keeps up, and prices of bullion remain unaltered. liar silver is not dealt in. The price of gold, on Thursday, at Paris, was 1 per mille discount (new tariff rate), which, at the Eng lish mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25.143, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 23.23, it follows that gold is about 0.417 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. . By last adviccs the price of gold at Hamburg is 4281 per mare, which, at the English Mint price of 3f. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6 f ; and the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.116 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. By last accounts, the course of exchange at New York on London, for bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England. Upon taking into consideration the difference of interest and charges of transport, we fled that the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. We have for some time watched and pointed out the progress of the continental telegraph system and its bearings upon commerce, and wu felt that unless some step were taken to extend its advantages to this country we should be subjected to a disadvan tageous competition with foreign merchants, who have access to a network of telegraphs working on a combined system.

The foreign Wool market this week has been very dull, but tho few sales effected have been at former prien. Parties are anxiously looking forward to the colonial Wool sales, which commenced on the 23rd inst., and most of the buyers are prepared for a little advance upon the July and August priers, owing to the speculative spirit abroad. The latest accounts from the sheen districts in Australia gives strong hope that labourers will not leave constant em ployment for the diggings in such large numbers u to endanger the interest of the flock maszers; but it is impossible to come to any satisfactory conclusion as to the facts of the case, the venous letters giving such different opinions.

MURDER. AND SUICIDE IN BERMONDSET.—A cor respondent states, that yesterday afternoon a horrible oc cumnee took place in George-street, Bermondsey. A woman named Mury Newman, who, with her husband and child, a girl about six years old, lodged at No. 23 in that street, in a paroxysm of insanity inflicted fatal wounds upon herself ant her child with a knife. The parsecs la the immediate neighbourhood were attracted to the spa by the screams of the little girl, whom they found in a dying state, the mother being quite dead. A coroner's inquiet will ba held on the bodies to-day.

Only a small increase is perceptible in the stock of bullion, as the specie imports of the week, though considerable, were counteracted by the extra demand for the Indian and other markets. But the chief influence on this item has probably been exercised by the payments on government ac count for official salaries, &c., to which the decrease in the public deposits and reserve, and the increase in the circulation arc also in a great measure attri butable. According to the official returns published in the Gazette of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of all the private banks of England and Wales during the week ending the 27th of September last, was 3,341,8701. ; in the week preceding, the amount was 3,273,013!. There is consequently an increase of 6soicat.

TILE LOCK CONTROVERSY. TO TEE EDITOR OF TILE EXPRESS. Slit,—This controversy having excited an unusual degree of public attention for some time past, perhaps you will be good enough to allow us to state in your journal, that the lock on which Mr. Hobbs operated had not been taken to pieces for many years, and it was only on exam ining it (after the award of the committee), that we dis covered the startling fact, that in no leas than three particu lars it is inferior to those we have made for years past. The lock had so long remained in its resting place in our window, that the proposal of Mr. Hobbs somewhat sur prised us. After his appearance, however, no alteration could of course be made, without our incurring the risk of being charged with preparing a test lock for the occasion; we were therefore bound in honour to let the lock remain as Mr. Hobbs found it when he accepted the challenge. No one inspected his operations during the 16 days he had the solo custody of the lock and was engaged in the work. We are therefore compelled to advertise another 200 guineas, in order that we may sec the lock operated upon and opened, if it be poisible, and thus gain such information as will enable us to use means that would defy even the acknowledged skill of our American friends. We believe the Bramah lock to be impregnable, and we cannot open it ourselves with the knowledge Mr. Hobbs has given las. We have fitted up the same lock with such improve ments as we now use, and some trifling change suggested by the recent trial, and restored it with its challenge to our window. We have not done this in a vain boasting spirit ; on the contrary, we feel it rather hard that, in which the former trial was conducted, w , adopt this course.
