T..N days since, we called attention to a desperate and hairbrained scheme, which had escaped the notice of our coat mpomties, directed against the peace and independence of the Republics of South America. We stated that—partly on the impulse of private vengeance, and partly to pamper the fatuitous ambi tion of the Spanish Court, flattered by the councils of France—a hostile invasion of those republics (the State of Equator being more immediately aimed at) was not only projected, but in actual course of preparation in this country and in Spain. We described the hero of the expedition (General FLORES, ex-president of the republic of the Equator), his agents and allies ; and the compact with CHRISTINA and the government at Madrid, by which he had obtained means to fit out a warlike expedition. We informed our readers that General FLORES was empowered to draft officers and soldiers from the Spanish army; that Spanish arsenals and equipment stores were open to him ; and that ho had a camp near the coast of Biscay for muster and organiza tion of Ids force. We further stated that his prin cipal and most active agent had been for some time engaged in rai,ing recruits in Ireland, under the pretext of emigration, and that he had to some extent succeeded in the design. But we added, that the representatives of the Spanish-American Repub lics in this country were fully acquainted with the mad enterprise ; and prepared to take, both here and in Spain, whatever steps the law might allow, or their own vigilasco suggest. We are now in a position not only to corroborate these statements, but to make important additions to them. But for the present we restrict ourselves to what more particularly claims the attention of our own authorities, in regard to the secret enlistment now going on in Ireland, in express violation of the law. A private letter from Limerick is now before us, dated five days ago, in which it is stated that extraor dinary and extravagant inducements have been held out to the labouring class to proceed as emigrants to Equator : " a free passage, good wages on the passage, and on arrival some 20 or 30 acres with a cow." To be sure (a slight drawback), their families were not to be allowed to go this season ; but they were "to follow next year." The writer adds, that at this particular time the inducements have acted remarkably well (no wonder), and that very large numbers had come in from the country, willing to accept the offer and embark at once. To such extent was this indeed, that the magistrates had met to investigate the affair; and finding notking to substan tiate the pretences put forth of an emigration scheme, had taken the precautionary step of issuing the following placard: Magistrates' Office, Oct. 3. The magistrates for the city of Limerick, deeming it their duty as protectors of their fellow-citizens, and especially of the labouring and operative classes, to investigate any project purporting to hold out advantages to them, have assembled for the purpose of inquiring into a handbill recently circulated here, invit.ng them to avail themselves of the promises it holds out to tame who would emigrate to Equador,Columbia ; and, on a very anxious investigation of the professions which this handbill contains, do not discover any substantial or satisfactory security for the performauc- of those promises, and therefore, so far from encouraging or advising their fel low-citizens to avail themselves of it, deem it an imperative duty and obligation to dissuade them therefrom, not only for the essential reason already assigned, but for many others too numerous uow to introduce. E. F. G. Rian, mayor; Win. Roche, high sheriff city of Limerick; John oyse, J. P. ; John Crips, J. P., W. S. Tracy, It. M ; S. Dickson; R. Kane ; W. Howley, D. L.; W. Hartigan. The attention of the English government cannot be much longer withheld from these wicked attempts. The duty of protecting those of our fellow-subjects who are about to be entrapped and betrayed, is an obvious and sacred one. Nor are we unprepared with other proof of what has been for some time in pro gress amongst us. We know that the agents of General FLORES have already purchased two steam-shipsoflarge burthen, one of which, at this moment, is in pro gress of being strengthened in one of our docks, with a view to conversion into a war frigate carrying guns. The same agents have chartered a sailing vessel of a thousand tons burthen, to serve as a transport. Her place of destination is Guayaquil. They are also pur chasing and preparing here the necessary ace °atm ments and arms. It is all a piece of midsummer madness, will be said by the grave and sober ? Granted. We do not dispute that. We have before said that not all the aid of all the gold of CHRISTINA would help FLoars to as much chance of conquering a province of South America as of seizing a territory in the moon. But this is not the question. The attempt and not the deed is what we have t.) tear ; the infinite misery and bloodshed with which its failure would be fraught, are what we :.av, oar..: .gainte... If aach an ezpeditioa m this is allowed to touch the South American soil, the mis chief is done. The scheme will miserably perish; our own countrymen will find a wretched and in glorious grave; but an evil seed will be left to take root, and to overgrow, with new calamities, those unhappy republics which had but now begun to b r eathe after years pf civil war, engendered by mil • IN‘N'‘N.W•Nc_. tary ambition, and kept alive by unprincipled personal aggrandisement. In tho prudence and decision of the active and intelligent representatives of the states thus threat ened, and of that large body of English merchants who are so deeply interested in their continued peace and welfare, we have every reliance. THE Commissioners of Customs have issued direc tions to the different Ports for returns of all the corn, grain, meal, and flcar imported into the United King dom daring the present year; and also for the amount exported, and to what countries, and whether of home or foreign production. It is a curious fact that there should be any occasion for this last sort of return. It is like asking a family, without food enough for the day, how much they have sold of it since morning. And yet it is not less true than strange. With a stock notoriously inadequate for home consumption till next harvest, we kave become an exporting country. Foreigners have been accommodated with a portion of our purchases, after they had been safely ware housed; and not only so, but some of the growth of our own fields have gone into French and Belgian markets. The quantity is probably small ; but the wonder is great, that a single grain which we had grown, or laid our hands upon, should have been thus disposed of. This is amongst the last doings of Protection for us. There is still a is. duty payable. Our Ports are open for sale, and barred for purchase. Exportation is free, and importation is clogged. We have put, and keep ourselves at, a disadvantage in the world's market, during a season of general competi tion. And we deserve to become the world's laugh ing stock for this unparalleled absurdity. The direction for these returns is, we hope, a note of preparation. Now that we export, and so com pete with the foreigner upon his own soil, there can be no further question about the ability to compete with him here ; now that foreign grain is flowing away from us, there can be no further question as to the impolicy of any remaining duty upon its admis sion. These returns, or rather the fact that there are any such returns to be made, must be the death- Warrant of all restrictions: their order for immediate execution. The public will so understand the matter, and confidently anticipate some prompt and decided proceeding. It is a prelude to the immediate opening of the Ports. The present temporary corn-law has the same ob ject, within its limited operation, as the professedly permanent enactment to which it succeeded. As compared with the old law, its tendency is to lower prices; but, as compared with the natural course of things, its effect is to raise prices. However disguised, the influence of a corn - law, so far as it extends, is to make artificial scarcity. It keeps away foreign corn; or it adds the amount of duty to the cost of foreign corn. There is, consequently, leas in the muket ; or it is there at a price which there is less ability to pay, and the home grower reaps his advant.ge accordingly. As spread over a series of years, the system had this excuse, often urged at its commencement, that the artificial scarcity induced for a time, would, by the prices obtained, stimulate our own agriculture into furnishing an ample supply for the wants of the popu lation. Thus, it was inferred, the temporary dearness would result in permanent cheapness, and the tem porary scarcity in permanent abundance. There is no occasion now to point out the fallacy of this plea. What we wish to remark is, that, whether sophistical or valid, it only applies to a corn-law of indefinite duration. It has no bearing upon a corn law with a prospective repeal already enacted. The law has lost all its vindication by being limited. The artificial dearness, and the artificial scarcity, are no longer means to an end ; that end being a legal stimulus to increased home production. We are looking forwards now, at a defined period, to free trade. Agricultural operations are, regulated by the free trade which is anticipated; not by the protection about to expire. So that, in our retention of artificial dearness and artificial scarcity, we are now retaining them for their own sakes, and not for any ulterior advantage as a re sult. We have been for these thirty years doing evil that good may come; and the evil is still done, only without any prospect of good to come from it. It is simply so much artificial scarcity, with the attendant privations and sufferings. There is no reason for its endurance. Its alleged (though un sound) recommendation as a means, is gone. It must be tried by its own merits, which are demerits. A temporary artificial scarcity, is the be all and the end all of the present Corn-law. With average har vests and supplies, it would still be evil, and nothing but evil. And the addition, if it be only the merest modicum, of this artificial scarcity to the general and natural scarcity under which all Europe labours, is a monstrosity, incredible but for the fact of its existence. That Ministers should hesitate at the unsettlement so speedily of the late legislative arrangements, is not surprising. That the Protectionists would raise a loud outcry, is to be expected. We fully admit the undesirableness of one enactment thus treading on the heels of another, and tripping it up just as it comes into operation. But famine and pestilence do net stand on punctilios. The failing crops of this year make no scruple of following the failing crops of last year. The counteraction which seemed sufficient in spring time, is altogether inadequate to meet the exigencies of the autumn, or allay the apprehensions of winter. The circumstances have changed as well as the ministry. This is no time to be over-courteous to faction. Nor does the existing Corn-law bear any character of compact, or mutually accepted com promise. The BENTINCK party never took it as a bargain. They acknowledge no such obligation to respect it, as, under Sir Ron Ear PEEL's guidance, they voluntarily incurred in reference to the Reform Act. They hold no treaty or truce to exist. They are bound by no terms. But if they be free to retard, Ministers are free to accelerate. If they would change 1849 for 1860, others may change it for 1846 or 7. It is too late for them to impose an obli gation, which they have uniformly and vehemently refused to acknowledge. Any scruples on their ac count are misplaced. They told the late Government, if there was famine they ought to open the Porta. There is famine, and the present Government should open the Ports. The occasion is too serious for the petty etiquette of party. The necessities of millions should ride over all consideration of what certain country gentlemen may say. If the progress of legislation be rapid, it nevertheless, until the Ports be open, lags behind the progress of want and ,destitution. The continuance of an import duty on food is the only flaw (should it remain) which the conduct of the Government, on this trying occasion, offers for ani madversion. In whatever relates to Ireland, they have done, and are doing, their duty manfully. Com plaints and reproaches are so manifestly unreasonable, that they produce an instant reaction of reprobation on their author!. Their course is marked by a vigorous generosity which deservedly wins for them " golden opinions from all sorts of people." But they must deal with this venomous tail of the bread-tax, to complete their work. It is necessary for the sake of that public confidence which is so important an element of success in their endeavours. They will be strengthened by it for the arduous struggle with national calamity which is yet before them. With this exception, they have done all they can ; all that any Government can do, in such circumstances. The remaining restriction abolished, we may say that Man has fulfilled his pert, and is entitled, humbly but confidingly, to await the result front the Air p motion. of Proviel.nce. IMMEDIATE peace, we find by yesterday's arrival from America, is not the result of SANTA ANNA'S return to Mexico. Whatever ho may have promised THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1 - 846.. N. to thli-inAtalf& ass Hated Adis, oe whitever he may h\i ta t a ft• ?epee, on the terms proposed by t h e g a bi ne t of W a shin g ton, is evidently not to the taste of the men, who succeseildly pronounced in Mexico on the 4th of August, and who summoned SANT t ANNA to assume the Presidency, " because his unquestionable influence with the army was the best guarantee for the union of that meritorious class with the people." 'fhe proclamations of General SALAS breathe a very earnest intention of prosecuting the war, and the acts of the provisional government seem to correspond with those intentions. The troops have been despatched to Monterey, and General AMPEDIA is said to have the command there of a con siderable force. General MORALES, too, who joined in the late revolution, has gone as commander to California. All bespeaks a determination to strike another blow for the honour and independence of the empire. Much as we fear the result, it is impossible not to admire the spirit and patriotism which seem to actuate the new ministers. We say seem, for the instances are too frequent of such manifesta tions of Spanish spirit being but preludes to the most prepense baseness. Public report, moreover, is very unfavourable to the characters of the men who have assumed this bold attitude. With the exception of ALMONTE, they obtain small credit for either courage or honesty. Their purpose to resist the Americans seems, however, sincere ; and, moreover, appears too strenuous and too well-supported by public opinion for SANTA ANNA to brave it. The dictator, therefore, for such he is in name, lies under assumed illness at his country scat; resolved to await the result of the trial of arms, which cannot fail to have already taken place. It must be premised that the Mexicans by no means admit the late actions on the Rio Grande to be decisive ; and much blame is attached to General ARISTA for his management. He is a brave cavalry officer ; but his want of vigilance in not preventing the night-march of the Americans, and his engaging within reach of their camp and their batteries, have destroyed his character with his countrymen ; who attribute, to his want of generalship on their side, the success of General TAYLOR. It now appears that the Mexicans are determined to act on the defensive. General AMPUDIA is the best artillery officer in their service, as General ARISTA was the most fumed cavalry leader. The appointment of MUMMA shows that their reliance is to defend Monterey, trusting to their cannon, and to their obsenacy behind the walls, instead of venturing forth to encounter the American guns with wild Mexican horsemen. General Tay Loa's force and that of Am et; ma are represented as about equal; and although the American is a far more formidable soldier than the Mexican, the latter behind fortifications may be a match for him. So at least more than One of our informants imagine. The fate of Monterey will have been decided towards the middle of September, and if General TAYLOR succeed, SANTA ANNA may then rise up, declare the war hopeless, and overrule his more san guine and unlucky ministers or colleagues. But will Mr. POLE be then satisfied with the demands just made, and which SANTA ANNA has shelved by re ferring them to the Congress that meets on the 4th December. We may now count on Mr. I'oue's desire of peace; but with three American divisions in possession of the enemy's country, one at Santa Fe, one at Monterey, and the division which is marching from Texas into Chihuahua, can he restrain the spirit of his people, or again offer the Rio Grande as a boundary ? This becomes doubtful. Meantime the American government is making every exertion fur pushing the war. General GAINES, with all the troops under his command, has been ordered to the seat of war. Tampico will no doubt be attacked, and perhaps Don Juan D'Uhloa. The American press calls loudly for active measures, and na,'rely declares, that, if they be delayed, the volunteers will soon find their way home, and leave the war to take care of itself. sent, and in Lord Cathcart, as Oeverone-General and also Commander of the Forces , one would Imagine the patronage exclusively resided. tforeoeer, Lord Cathcart, in consulta tion with the Adjutant-General, Sir Allan M' Nab, had agreed to appoint a particular individual deputy to Sir Allan. Thus, by his plighted word, or if that be too strong, by kis personal preference for one person,—by his military right as Commander of the Forces, and by his prerogative right as Governor-General, he ought to bare been allowed to gazette Colonel Cameron instead of Colonel Macdonald ; but his council, the very council that had sustained Lord Metcalfe, and fought a stout battle for him, deemed otherwise. They insisted upon his recalling his promise, or abandoning his preference, whichever it was, and they appointed a deputy of their 'own ! For what , then , did Lonl Metcalf struggle ? what did he settle as to the rights of Governors in the matter of patronage ? It will be said that Lord Metcalfe did not resist the claim of his council to be consulted upon appointments, but their de mnnd, that for the future, he should not appoint siaiont consulting them, which his Lordship called, demanding a "stipulation." I was not in the province at the precise time when this transaction occurred; but Lord Metcalfe pleaded his own cause, submitted papers under his own signature to Parliament and the country, and I have read these, and I cannot but regard the plea as an attempt to set up a dis tinction without a difference. I cannot but say that I think Lord Cathcart has not been treated very handsomely by the home Government. If be is a Tory, he is a very mild one, and Lord Elgin belongs to that school of politics. He has shown no party predilections. and offended no political party since he has been at the head of the Government. It is as yet unknown whether Lord Cathcart will remain in the country as Commander of Fortes under a new Governor-General, or go home ; but it is under- stood he has been strongly solicited in high quarters at home to remain. The Montreal Gazette says," Lord Metcalfe did not expect to succeed. He was resigned, noble old man as he was, to recoil back in his old age, after a life of successful ad ministration, defeated but not dishelnoured, grieved but not ashamed." This is singular praise to offer to a practical statesman; for, in practical matters to anticipate defeat, comes very near ensuring it. If Lord Metcalfe could not see his way through the difficulties of the mission offered to him, ought the imperial government to have assigned to him the task, or have sent out some mind cf adequate re sources, and at the least self-sustained by the conviction of success? It is bad morality for one man to undertake what he feels he cannot perform, to the prevention of another, is whose hands the work might be easily and securely lICCOUI. plished ; and if it be not high treason, it is a high crime and misdemeanour, an impeachable offence, in the ministers of the Crown, by such selection, to misgovern the colonies. As a wholesome caution in this respect, let us see to what • state these various experiments have brought the colony. I quote from the Montreal Gazette, than which it would be difficult to find a more re spectable authority : " That the present state of Canada is full of difficulties, and its future troubled in pros pect, it would be idle to deny. No reflecting man can con sider the province in anything but a transition state at present, and in what form it is finally to settle is a question which the gift of prophecy could alone solve. In our opinion, there will be an entire reconstruction of the political condition of this continent before long, and the fate of Canada will bs much influenced by that of its neighbours and geographical kindred." Will the gentlemen in Downing-street, whose privilege it is to rule or misrule, as the case may be, the transmarine possessions of the British crown, take heed of the solemn warning conveyed in this picture, drawn by the competent hand of one of their own friends? There is " trouble in pros. pest"—breakers a-head and a lee shore, requiring a skilful and a bold hand at the helm—this, I suppose, is what is meant. _ _ Speculations are of course rife as to Lord Elgin and the course he will steer in the present condition of parties in the country. No sensible man thinks he will pursue an ex • elusive or extreme course; and if a government can be honourably composed of parties who have heretofore been in opposition to each other, it will be generally satisfactory. Party spirit does not now run so high as it has done. Over tures have been made, as I formerly explained, for a junc tion, and if this can be effected by a new• governor without a compromise of principle, it will for a time reconcile the differences and heal the wounds of political warfare. But the country is in a state of " transition," or rather in a growing state, passing from infancy to mature age, and no narrow rules of government will suit its condition. The restlessness that has been, and will continue to be, observable for some time yet in the condition of society in this country, may only be truly traced to the natural effects of the process of expansion that is going on in all the interests of the community. In short, the country is getting bigger,— the boy is shooting up to manhood, and can no longer be confined by his schoolboy habits, kept in order by his nurse, or made to yield the same ready obe dience as heretofore, even to the voice of his mamma. You must lengthen his tow-line a bit, and give him more verge and space, and freedom of action, or you war not against him, but against nature. An improve:in nt in the prices of timber and flour has given activity speculation and business. We have two railroads in actual progress, and public works arc undertaken that give an aapeta and promise of prosperity to the country, which, under all discouragemcnts, is cheering. BELGII3I.—It is asserted that the negotiations set on foot at Berlin to give greater extension to the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded between the Zollverein and Belgium on the Ist September, 1844, have been adjourned. The steps taken by the Belgian minister at the Prussian Court have failed. _ _ _ MONTREAL, SEPT. 2S, 1816. The interval that has passed since 1 last addressed you has not been distinguished by any colonial event that could much interest your readers. The vessel of State having been tempest-tossed, now lies, as it were, water logged, unalile to advance, to recede, or move indeed in any direction. The news from England has indeed brought food for thought to the colonial mind, but the day - for action stands off yet in the distance. All watt to see the practical tendency of the free trade measures of the mother country upon the general prosperity of Canada. If this prosperity should be endangered, the discontent will of course become general and serious. Great Britain opening her ports to all ' comers with grain will be expected not to put her own subjects in her dependencies upon a worse footing as to the supply of that article than are their immediate neighbours on the same territory. Thus, the farmer and merchant of Canada, if by any impe rial regulations for imperial interests they should be unable to compete with the American in the carriage of grain or flour to the ports of Great Britain, whereby they lose that country as a customer far the important article of bread stuffs altogether, the American farmer and merchant gaining what they lose, I think it will hardly be contested that dis content would be the lot of the losers, and discontent bearing rather awkwardly upon the very delicate question of the " connexion." The difference of freight upon a barrel of flour between New York and Montreal is more than two shillings in favour of the former ; that is to say, it is so much lower at New York. The Canadian merchant cannot ex port by the St. Lawrence at this rate, and all the industrious climes employed in grinding, barrelling, and manufacturing barrels, and shipping American wheat, drawn from the western wheat-growing states of the Union, lose all the profit of that business. British-built or owned vessels come across the Atlantic, and up the St. Lawrence in a great measure in ballast or for low freights. Hence they are compelled to charge heavily for home freights, and the en tire colonial community are the losers, because British bottoms only can be permitted to carry colonial goods. If New York or New Hampshire vessels were allowed to sail up the St. Lawrence, the trade in bread stuffs would be secured. These vessels—l cannot exactly tell you why—are navigated with fewer men, carry larger cargoes from their peculiar and superior build, sail quicker, and have generally a shrewder race of captains, men who unite the qualities of merchant and mariner more conspicuously than ours do. Hence, low freights. In such speculations, however, we are met by the navigation laws, the chorea naaritima of Great Britain. I would not weaken this bulwark of our maritime supremacy ; but what will you do if, under the new doctrines of the day, it prove a real stumbling-block in the way of your colonial prosperity ? rule is no longer limited to the superficies of a mere sea-girt island. Its boundless em pire covers new continents and islands beyond seas, and, henceforth you must legislate for England and her colonies, as old Spain used to do for " Spain and the Indies," or pre pare for the day when you will no longer own dependencies. Without, however, entering upon the larger debateable ground of the navigation laws, we may, in the present case, narrow the question to the British shipping interest, for whose protection these laws are maintained. If the Montreal or Quebec merchant cannot transmit the flour grown in the Western States to British ports at a price that will compete with that grown in the same region but sent rid New York, then Canada will lose utterly that branch of trade—the mighty waters of the St. Lawrence become useless to the country, and what interest will be the gainer ? Not the British ship ping interest certainly ; for the carrying trade will he gone ,• but American shipping and American commerce. It would be difficult to show in what manner the charta maritime of England would be served by throwing this trade into the hands of the American shipowners. Your editorial remarks upon the state of Canadian politics and reference to the letters of your correspondent, have at tracted the notice of the journals here. The Montreal Gazette thinks you are not warranted in casting blame upon Lord Metcalfe. That Lord Metcalfe meant well will be denied by no fair thinking person. But he settled ao con stitutional principle,—certainly not the principle upon which he broke ground with his council. He would not act " by and with the advice and consent" of his council in the matter of patronage. He chose to make and offer appoint ments to office without consulting and without even inform ing his council. This he claimed as a governor's prerogative, cr rathcs ks the Frarkaeatira kf which he sits swan to defend ; and although the House of Assembly , decided so- lemnly on a division in the proportion of exactly two to one against his doctrins, he maintained his ground, dissolved the parliament, and for two years manfully struggled for victory over his adversaries, and was rewarded by a parliamentary majority, which enabled him to retain in high office a few gentlemen belonging to no party, and who, like a general hospital, were supported rather by the " voluntary contribu tions of the charitable of all parties " than by any native vigour of their own. It was after having accomplished this, and this only, that Lord Metcalfe departed ,• not, however, in truth be it spoken, because he thought he bad finished his task or was tired of politics, but because the hand of death was upon him, and he was no longer fit so be a com batant in mundane affairs. But how did he leave the question of appointments to office ? Did he settle permanently, or even draw the line i distinctly for the moment between the rights of the council and the rights of the governor in the matter of patronage? What is Lord Cathcart's position with reference to the appointment of a deputy Adjutant-General ? Has he been allowed to make that appointment without the consent of Ida council ? It is military and staictly prerogative appoint- HOLLAND.—AMSTERDAM, OCT. 11.—We learn that the post of Ambassador of the Netherlands at the British Court hasbcen offered to Baron Van Der Capallea Van Ber kenmonde, but that the Baron has declined accepting that post.

I thank you for your loyalty ; it is not new to me, you have always given proofs of it, and I always felt it; but it is not the less a pleasure for me to have only to address words of praise and thanks to my faithful troops." After this speech the troops gave loud cheers. The king deigned to reply, by " Long live the brave troops of the Duchies." At the banquet, the king, having given the health of the troops, proposing the following toast said : " I have another toast to propose, that of the sovereigns of the Confederation, who appointed the brave generals .seated at my side to review the troops. It is a proof of their concurrence towards the good discipline of the army of the German Confederacy, of which the contingent of the Duchy of Ilolstein-Lauenburg forms, and will always form, an honourable portion. My con stant object will be the perfect discipline of the troops.: Join me, gentlemen, in drinking the health of their Majesties the King of Prussia, the King of Wurtemberg, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau:. 11UNGAIRY.—PEST11, SEPT. 29.—For some time past, the Hungarian., particularly the younger portion, have been animated by an ultra national spirit, which has been manifested chiefly towards the Germans, and even the Hun garians of German origin, who are very numerous in that country. Two evenings ago this hatred was displaced in a deplorable manner at the German theatre in this capital. The performance was the "Mysteries of l'aris," a German drama founded on the French novel. As soon as the ma nager, M. Forst, who played one of the characters, !appeared on the stage, he was received with loud hisses and cries of " Off, off! we will no longer tolerate your German theatre." M. Fore, who is an actor of great merit, and who had hitherto been a favourite, advanced towards the foot-lights, and wished to address the public, but the hissing and hooting in creased, and he was not permitted to speak. About a hun dred young men then jumped over the orchestra upon the stage, shouting "Malediction to the German Theatre" ( Barzom d nemet szinlay)! and, seizing M. Forst, kicked him off the stage; they then led him home to his own house through the streets, hissing him, striking him with sticks, and throwing potatoes and eggs in his face. The police only arrived at the moment when M. Forst was entering his house, but they succeeded in arresting several of his assail ants. M. Forst is very ill, in consequence of the treatment that he received. AMERICA. THE GREAT WESTERN IN A HURRICANE. The following is the account of the Great Western's out ward voyage. The details arc drawn tip by a passenger : He commences by stating that the Great Western sailed front e, pool on the 12th ult., with 126 pamencers and a crew of fin, in all 211 souls. The storm commenoed on the evening of Saturday, the 9th. On Sunday, the sea rose frightfully, the mails were split, and the vessel was running under bare poles. At eleven o'clock that forenoon a heavy sea broke over the fore part of the larboard wheel-house, or paddle-box, which started the ice-house and large iron lifeboat from their fastenings, and washed them to leeward, and with mucbdifficulty they were temporarily secured. The ice-house contained some seven or eight tons of ice, and was faatened by cleft; and Hautschions. Let the reader imagine the force of the sea and the height of the wave which, rising over the paddle-box, struck the ice-house and the large iron life-twat above it, twisted them from their fastenings, breaking the ice-house into two parte, ripping off the planks, crushing the starboard companionway, and only prevented from making a clear breach in the sides of the ship by a sudden lurch to port. Meantime the wind howled most frightfully through the rigging. At half-past eleven the square mile blew away from the yards. The lee quarter boats were torn from the davits by a heavy lee lurch of the ship, bead ing the davits, tearing cut the ringbolts from their stems and sterns. At noon, storm and sea raging in all their fury, sea sti I braking over the ship ; a heavy sea struck the Larboard pail:lie-lox and smashed it to atoms; sprung the epring beam, breaking the under half ; shattered the parts of the ship attached thereto. A splinter struck the captain on the head while standing on the poop, and th • rove, of the blow, together with the sea, carried him over the lee quarter, and he was only saved by the nettings. After this sea had paaacd over, the water gained on the pumps the *gal ..ppitated to little aat: the ship a licav sailer, ho igaL blowing a storm. All the hatches, except those made use of for pass ing into the engine-room. were battered down, and the skylights par tially covered. The weather continued the same until midnight, at which time It lulled for half an hour. Again the storm rose. The wind bowled, roared, and bellowed, like the constant mutterings of the thunder cloud. Huge waves of tremendous height and volume rose in mad display around the ship, threatening every moment to break over her amidships and crush the vessel. bra after sea striking her with terrific noise, rimmed the gallant ship to stop for an instant, tremble and shake in every timber from her stem to her atsrnposit, reeling and lurching, tossed to and tm, again would she gather fresh strength, and with her wheels half hid in the wild waters, again and again receive the thundering blows of an element that seemed armed for destruction. The ails on the yards, strongly secured by ropes and gadieta, were blown from their torte and streamed out to leeward in ribbons. nut all this was as nothing. About one p.m., whilst moist of the parrngers were seated sg .rising 'appease in the lower cabin, holding fast to the tab:es and settees, a sea struck the rowel, and • tremendous crash was beard on deck. Inatantly the cabin was darkened, and torrents of wake came Pouring through the skylights. Scarcely had the waters reached the floor, when all in thecabins andstate.rommi sprang to their feet, and simultaneously, as if by concert, the ladies uttered a scream of agony, so painful, so fearful, and so despairing, the wound of it will never be forgotten. Several fainted—others clamed their b a nd. is mate whilst many called aloud upon their Creator. The mall co which the writer alludes was caused by the tearing up .Xl \ \ 4 \ 11.\ of Ws beashas sad Whir waiwalt as the quarter-deck. Theist were hauled id* Adam awlaut the skylights by the same sea which Naha We Wildman at the drenching the berths on the larboard !

It was an awful hour. The moat theaghtless cowered In their heart before a danger which none but a fool or a brute would have mocked, and all therefore Marsh the In. vitatical to meet in the cabin for prayer. Rev. Mr. read the 101 th psalm. Rev. Dr. Smucker prayed. Rm. Dr. Beecher made • few solemn remarks. Rev. Dr. 82kb repeated the worth of Our Saviour, Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe In God, believe also In me," — commenting briefly on their consoling import, and then invited all present to Join with him in the Lord's prayer; after which he pro nounced the apostolic benediction. The wind, far from abating, was on the increase. The lulls in the storm bring less frequent, and the squalls, If anything, more terrific. The whole main was one sea of foam, lashing up into terrible waves, wild and angry, whilst the spray and wind seemed driven through the rigging and over the ship, as if with demoniacal power. As darkness came, clustered t, atether in the cabin, the passengers all thought and reflected on their fate. most, If net all of them, had given themselves up fur lost. For what with the heavy labouring of the ship, the terrible noise and howling of the wind, the continued frequent thumpings of the sea, the quivering and shaking of the groaning timbers, the carrying away of so many portions of the reamers upper works, and the knowledge that they were, perhaps, for another night to be exposed to the full power of a regime hurricane, left little to hope for. In the evening, about nine o'clock, the Ike. Mr. Balch, at the request of severe] passengers, administered the Holy Communion in the cabin to upwards of sixty vow many of whom received it there, for the first time In their ee. Monday, 2lst, 12 30, centime's the log, the storm commenced raging again in all its fury, sad the sea a perfect foam, until eight a.m. at which time the clouds began to break, and the squalls leas furicius. Got the ship's head to the N.W., and hauled the yards round, the sea mill raging as before, and nearly • head, curling and breaking over the ship in every direction. At noon the rearm mitred ; but the sea continued more violent till two p.m., at which time It ceased gradually with the wind—having lasted aboutthirty.eix hours; during which dine, It gives me much pleasure to state, my officers and crew conducted themselves with great coolness and pr. scam of mind." About half-pest live o'clock on Monday morning, the passen gers were in the greatest possible danger. Mr. Stevens, one of the namengers, who was an eye-witness, says of it —" • peculiar lifting of the haze in the east, with an appeir awe of an anther-oaloured belt of light, low down ou the horizon, warned us of all approach in g blow. Presently It came, a perfect tornado, driving before it the clouds of spray, and, as It neared us, fairly lifting up the white foam from the warm, like a shower of rain. As the squall 'truck us, the ship careened over and buried her gunwales, in the ocean, and lay fur a few momenta stricken powerloo, and apparently at the mercy of the savage waves that threntamed to engulf or. This was the trial, the last round fought betwo. n the elements and our gallant vessel. At this critical mo meet, the engine was true to her duty. Still went on its revolution*, and round and round thundered her iron water wings. Gradually recovering her upright position, the good ship, with head quartering the sea, came up to her course, and all was well. It was the climax of the storm. The last great effort of the whirlwind king, to send us to the sea-giant's cave below." On Monday, about twelve o'clock, the storm had abated sufficiently to admit of standing on the upper step of the companion-way with safety. It was a sublime, but an awful ape, tack. The ocean still laboured under the effects of the hur lame. The wind veered 2.1 points in 30 hours. It i 5 impoesible to imagine or describe the wild and tangled confusion of the waves. Riding to a height apparently greater than that of the mainmast, they leaped and roared around the ship, as if hungry and maddened at the less of their prey. At times the Great We-tern seemed as if lowered by 1111,eell spirits into her watery grace ; and eves y moment it was expected to be tilled in, and her requiem sung by the winds amidst the wilderness of waters. But the danger was past, and, with grateful hearts, on Tuesday morning all assembled in the cabin to render nn act of common prayer and thanksgiving. The Rev. Dr. Smucker read a psalm and made some appropriate introductory remarks, and the Rev Dr. Beecher addressed the paeriengeis at length and with much force on the mercy they had experienced, and prayer was offered. After the religious services were ended, the primengers drew up a resolution of thanks to Almighty God for their deliverance, and also a most complimentary address to the captain and of of the ship. They subscribed a sum of 200!. for the captain, oflleers, anal crew, and presented the money in two beautiful purses worked by two of the female passengers. They also opened a liberal contribution, with the view of creating • fund for the relief of familica whose heads , and supporters have been lost at sea, and in compliment to the ship, as well wain commemoration of the signal merry they experienced in her, it is to be called the "Great Western Fund." When the danger had all pawed the captain said, "Thrice on deck I thought destruc tion inevitable. Each time • sea of such magnitude and power came at the ship, that I thought it was all ever with us. But unexpectedly each broke Jive at the side of the ship. Sir, the hand of the Lord was in it." And the writer of this narrative adds : " Yes, the hand of the Lord was in it; may we never forget it was the hand of the Lord." EFFE(T OP THE GREAT WESTERN NEWS ON THE NEW Youx MARKETS.—The moment the news was received by the Great Western, grain of all kinds went up. A sale of 5,000 bushels New Orleanseorn was sold at 75c., which jamn advance of 5 cents. White corn was held at 85 c., and yellow Jersey 80 c. Prices have advanced 5 cents over those before current, and which were considered very high. A parcel of red wheat, about 1,000 bushels, sold at 110 c., which is at least sc. over sny former price. There were no samples of rye on the market; it would command 80 e. Sales of oats yesterday at 38 to 40 c., and barley at 60 to 621 c. Previous to the arrival of the Great Western holders of flour offered to sell at 5,121 dol., and some small sales were made, hut the moment the rise of prices in England was known holders asked from 50 cents. to 1 dol. advance. Before the exchange closed about 2,000 bble. flat hoop Ohio and Genesee sold at 5,50 dol., a rise old cents., and many of the holders refused to sell at that price. The market is still un settled and the merchants have not yet received their orders ; still there were plenty of buyers at 5,50 dol., and few willirg to sell. struggling in the water. On Nelda, Morning, of those dYmeried, and others, preceeded to by twelve o'clock noon, seventeen were tale ma tannest bad been held, the solves were dwellings, amid the 'railings and lamentations fatherless children, and weeping friends.

In default of news, the journals are principally occupied with controversy, which appears, how ever, to be assuming a more practical and less purely personal direction. The Montreal Gazette, Herald, Pilot, and Econo mist, contain long and able articles on the subject of throw ing open the navigation of the St. Lawrence, and what is rather remarkable, each differs widely feint all the rest in its views. The most importantitems of intelligence are, a 'per centile case tried at Montreal on the 23rd of September, be fore Mr. Justice Holland and a special jury, the state of the potato crop, and a painful accident at Kingston, by which seventeen men were drowned.

IL COLLIN Ross, AND CO.—On the 21st of March last Mr. Taylor, broker, void to the defend ants, for the plaintiffs, 1,000 barrels of flour. The sale note bore that the flour was to be of fine quality, of the Yonne mills brand, price 285., and to be delivered between the 25th of May and the 10th of June. The flour was tendered on the 10th of June, part of it at le , st, after six in the evening. The price had (luring the interval fallen between 54. and As. a barrel. It was not received : at 6 p.m. on the 10th the defendants wrote to the plaintiffs that the flour had not been delivered, and that they returned the sale note. The plaintiffs, in the first instance, replied that they held the defendants to their bargain, and would store the flour at their risk. Storage could not he found, end it was subsequently intimated to the defendants that the flour would be sold on their account, they being held liable for the difference. It was disposed of at the then market price of 23a. 3d. per barrel. The action was brought for 214/. On. 34d., the difference between the whole at this price, and at the price fixed in the sale note. The points which the plaintiffs undertook to make good to the satisfaction of the jury were —lst. That the 10th of June was included in the term fixed by the note of sale. 2nd. That the plaintiffs had the whole day (or till midnight), to deliver the flour. 3rd. That the flour was ready within the time that they were bound to deliver it. In support of these allegations Mr. Taylor, the broker, swore that at the desire of Mr. Oil , moue, he had given notice to the defendants that the flour was ready between 10 and 15 minutes past 6 p.m. lie afterwards sold the flour at the highest price. Mr. Watson, flour inspector, swore that the first 400 barrels were in rected between 4 and 5, and the rest a little after 6. Mr. erguson, cooper, that the first 400 barrels were ready fur delivery by 4, the rest by 7 o'clock. These two witnesses concurred in stating that flour was often delivered much later. The store-man of the plaintiffs, and the clerk of the defendants, gave similar evidence as to the time at which the flour was ready. Mr. Low, a merchant, swore that people were often obliged to work after 6, and that when notice was given that part of the flour was there, it was usual to begin taking it away; Mr. Bockus, merchant, swore that his impression was that he would be bound to take flour, if offered, as late as there was day-light; but Mr. Shaw, merchant, swore it was quite unusual to deliver flour after 6 o'clock, and that he would not take 1000 barrels after 1 o'clock. On behalf of the defendants it was argued that by the terms of the note sof sale they were not hound to take the flour after the 10th of June had begun. It was further contended that even if the jury thought they were bound to receive it on the 10th, that day ex pired at six p.m., and the flour w.is not ready for delivery till seven. For the defence, one of the coopers em ployed swore that he was engaged on the casks till after eight p.m. ' • two others that they were engaged till long atter six. The sub-inspector of flour swore that he left at six, and there were a few barrels still on hand. Mr. Wm. Bristow swore that the business hours of the city ended at six • he had known flour received later, but never in so large a quantity. He would have begun to take away as soon as 600 barrels were put on the wharf. Mr. 3l'Dougal, broker, thought it unusual to offer so large a quantity so late ; thought a tender could not be made, except of the whole. Mr. Borthwick, merchant, would have thought himself justified in refusing 1,000 barrels after six; had 000 been offered him at five, he would have begun to take them away.—Mr. Justice Rolland, in summing up, said the case , was one to be decided by equity, and the customs of mer chants—English customs being as much adhered to as pos sible. The jury, with three dissentients, returned a verdict for the defendants. POTATOEIS.—The Montreal llerakl, of 28th September, has the following editorial pernoraph : "We are glad to learn from many quarters that the prospect of the potato crop, so far can be Judged, is much better this year than It was last. In the deist:dories, the inhabitants have, generally, been so alarmed as to cease sowing potatoes altogether. In a tour of some forty or fifty miles the other day we did not me a single held of pota toes, only • few small p ashes of garden cultivation. But they hare this esculent with an increased cultivation of Indian corn, of =l c i ' t d the crop has been very abundant and well ripened. The Bri tish torment on the township boundaries have, on the contrary, planted largely, and, so far, little or no mischief hi known to have taken place. It it expected that from the further districts of the coun ties of Beatiharnois, Two 3tountains, and Terrebunne, there will be a copious ,apply of potatoes of excellent quality. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT KINONTON.—A correspondent of the Montreal Gazette relates the following terrible casualty :.

THE REGISTRATIONS. MlDDLESEX.—Yesterday, Siiain•ell held his court at the New Globe Tavern, Mile end-road, for the fen sion of the lists of the parishes of St. Anne, Limehoug; AU Saints, Poplar ; Bromley ; St. Leonard, St. Katharine St. George, Mile-end Old and New Towns; St. Mary, White: chapel ; St. Mary, Stratford ; Bow ; St. Paul, Shadwell; St. Botolph, Aidgate ; St. John, Ratcliffe; St. Peter Ad vincula; St. John, Wapping, Town Without; and Holy Trinity, Minories—Mr. W. 11. James, who was in Olt Monday's report erroneously described as the Conwnativs agent, attended for the Liberal party, and Mr. Payne for the Conservatives.—ln the precinct of St. Peter Advinettla, the name of the Rev. H. Melville, described es chaplain of the Tower and rector of St. Peter Advincola, was objected to by Mr. James, on the ground that the qualification stated wasinsufficient, as decided by the barrister in the case of the Rev. Mr. Pizey and others on Monday.—Mr. Payne con tended that the description in this case was such that the qualification might be fairly dealt with as freehold, sad inasmuch as the claimant's name appeared on the register for the same qualific Won previous to the parsing at the Registration Act, there was no necessity for him to send in a new claim in order to comply with the provisions of that act in respect to qualification. The Barrister decided that this case did not in effect differ from those he had pre viously decided, and expunged the name. Mr. Cotton, who was objected to by the liberals on account of insufficient de scription (the name of the county in which the qualification was situated being omitted), on his name being retained, claimed costs: he had been twice before objected to, and asserted that the objection was only made on the chance of his not attending to support his vote. Mr. James having stated that the objection was bond fide, the Barrister refused, as the case had been called on out of its turn for the voter's accommodation, to give costs; but hoped the objection would not be repeated. In the All Saints Poplar list seven' names objected to by the overseen were struck out, thoolii the only ground of objection was change of residence, the Barrister holding, that as the objections had been made ha was bound to allow them if the pieties did not attend to prove the qualification. Both the agents complained that the list supplied to them did not mark the overseers' objet tions, so that no opportunity had been afforded of commtusi catins with the parties with the view of defending their claims, and on this ground the Parristcr refused the over seers' expenses. Several names were struck off for the omis sion of the word " freehold" from the description of the qualification. EAST SURRET.—The revising barrister sat again yea' terday at the workhouse, Russell-street, Bermondsey, to revile the list of voters in the only remaining parish, that of M. George, Southwark. Forty-eight claims were sent in by the members of a building society, in respect of four houses. They were supported by Mr. Russell, the free-trade agent, and the whole of the claimants were placed upon the list. — On Tuesday an application was made to the barrister by Mr. Drummond, the Conservative agent for the Croydon die trict, to grant him a case for the Common Pleas iu reference to his decision with regard to the cases of several clergymen whose tithes had been commuted to a rent-charge, and whom he had held to be disqualified, on account of their not send ing in a fresh claim upon the altered qualification.—The revising barrister refused to grant a ease. The following a a return of the result of the revision ns given by the free trade agents:—Claims made, 613; fail,d, 61; sustained, 5.32. 633; -rithdrawa or 111 ; amended, 460; sustained, '232. No return was made by the Conservative agent. PItOVINCIAL.—Sours LANCASIIIRE.—The Man chester district of this division of the county has terminated in the following result, as claimed by the free-traders, the only party represented in court : —Lpon claims, 96; upon objections made by overseers ' 6; upon objection s made by the free-traders, 188; total, 293. There are 217 names struck out upon objections made by the free-traders, but 0 29 of these were double entries, i.e., either in the same town ship or some other township in the southern division, they are deducted, which leaves a clear gain upon objections of 168. HASTINGS.—The liberals have gained twelve voted on 'he recent registration. BURT (Lancashire).—This reviiion was so little impeded by the objections and oppositions to claims, that it was completed, by P. A. Pickering, Esq., in the short space 0 1 twenty minutes. The total number of electors left on the registry is 866. CLITHEROE.—Thirty-two new liberal votes have been added to the lists of this borough. A question 0 ~~~~~ __. .
