Accounts from Havre state, that a French vessel fell In with Liao'Dia squadron on the 6th September, off the coast of Mexico, when ow t ahe Bth September it experienced a dreadful tempest, which kste7 60 hours; a frigate mas seen disinasted, and the sea was cove ld with part of the wrecks. Mexican Papers to the 20th August have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they do nut bring any news of consequence. They contain a Speech of the PRILSIDINT of the Congress of Puebla, which gives a highly favourable description of the state of that community; it points out, amongst other things, the improvement of their roads, and the ad •antages deriving therefrom, to the commerce of the interior. Frankfort Papers to the 10th were received this morning. They supply the following intelligence: ROME, SgrTiazzaz 26. The following are said to be the names of the new Nuncios nominated by the Pope, and accepted by the respective Courts: Monsignor Spinola, for Vienna; Monsignor Laus Cruschini, for Paris ; Monsignor Tiberi, for Madrid; Monsignor Guistiniani, for Lisbon; Mon• signor Argenteau, for Munich ; Monsignor Ostini (now Internuncio at Vienna), for Lucerne. It was expected that on this occasion a Nuncio would be appointed for the Netherlands, and several Journals had indeed spoken of it as a thing decided. But that this nomination has not taken place, may be considered as a proof that the difference between the Papal See and that Government are not yet adjusted. It now remains to be seen in how long or short a time the Nuncios for Paris and Vienna will set out for their destination ? when the French Ambassador, the Duke de Laval Montmorency will return to Rome ? and lastly, when we shall see the new Ambassador, Count Lebezeltern ? For some days past, various reports have been in cir culation; thus, it is said, that nine young men, lately arrested, have been conveyed to the prisons of the In quisition, and will be tried by that tribunal. There are endless conjectures respecting their crime, which can hardly be of a political nature. Another report says, that the result of the recruiting for the army is so un satisfactory, that the Pope has resolved to establish the Burger Guard. Another report says, that many of the persons arrested for Carbonal ism,ha v e escaped from their confinement in Fort St. Leo. As the pt isons atCivita Cas tellana are also thought not to be very secure, a part of the prisoners will be brought to the castle of St. Angelo, at Rome, and the remainder more strictly guarded. An ordonnance lately published, prohibiting any person from shooting within the distance of about two miles from the gardens of the Vatican, in order, it is said, not to frighten the pheasants kept there, has been interpreted by the public in a manner which is undoubtedly not correct; there are at Rome desperate wretches, both strangers and natives, but certainly none who would defile his hands with the most detestable of all crimes. the ordonnance has in truth, no other object than to, prevent the game which abounds in the Papal gardens,' %%here it has taken refuge, from being driven away again, that his Holiness, who has no other recreation, may amuse himself with shooting near to his residence. Satisfactory accounts are received from ltomagna. Two persons have been arrested at Faenza, one of whom is believed to be the murderer of the Priest Bren tani, and the other of the Inspector of Police, Bellini. ....At Ravenna, a Secretary of the Police has been arrested, because he is suspected of having been concerned is the crime committed there. Cardinal Rivarola bas left that place, and gone to Genoa, his native city. Some think it is because, though he still hears the title of Cardinal Legate, and is by no means recalled from his post, he has in fact been discharged from the exercise of his functions; and the Government. Ihas no farther communication with him. It is said that before he departed, he designed to issue a proclamation to the Legation, but was prevented by the new Autho. titles. The first public act of the Commissioners of the Criminal Court, on their arrival there, was to discharge the Subaltern Officer of Gens d'armes, who came there in the suite of Cardinal Rivarola. Knights of Malta have already arrived from different countries at Ferrara, in' order to carry into effect all measures for the entire removal of the order from Catania.' I, CARLSRUHE, OcToms 7. A Ministerial rescript has been published, by which permission to emigrate to Brasil shall be given only to such persons, for themselves and their families, who can prove that they have at their disposal a sum of at least 500 florins, to pay the money for the passage and other expenses of the voyage ; and they are at the same time to be informed, that if they should in the sequel return to the Grand Duchy without being able to find means to procure a livelihood, they will be sent as vagrants to the workhouse. The French Papers of Sunday have reached us; their Contents are unimportant. Some letters from Constantinople to the 14th ult. state that the Rim Erramt had declared that the demands of Russia were admissible, which, if true, would be tanta mount to the acceptance of the Russian Ultiusatunt. But this is rendered doubtful by the total silence of other communications upon that subject, though coming from the same place, and of the same date. The Etode contains a comparative view of the French Revenue in the years 1824, 1825, an d 1826, during the first nine months of each of those years respectively. The principal sources of Revenue are—the Woods and Forests; the duties on Registration, Stamps, &c. Public Carriages, &c. Tobacco duties; Tax en Letters; Miscellaneous Taxes, &c. On these the augmentation of 1826, compared with 1825, is 19,638,000 francs. In the other sourcesof Revenue, there is a falling of of 6,578,0001. leaving a net increase of 13,060,000 f. (544,1661.135. 4d) The largest deficit occurs in the Salt Duties, and in the Lottety. The increase of Revenue in 1826, compared with 1824, amounts to 23,578,000 f. very nearly one million sterling. Admitting the increase on the whole year to be in proportion to that of the first nine months, the Revenue of 1826 will be. in round numbers, 700,0001. mere than in 1825, and 1,250,000/s mote than in 1824. Wu have received Hamourgh Papers to the 15th Instant, and -with them the Manifesto of the Emperor islicuouis declaring war against Persia, or rather accepting it ; for if ever a Monarch had little right to expect an attack from his neighbour, the Russian Autocrat seems to be that Monarch. The only probable explanation of this political phenomenon is that intimated in the Manifesto, that it proceeds from religious fanaticism. The same papers have else brought accounts of various actions which have been fought, from which it appears that the Russians were better prepared than their enemies imagined, and that success has hitherto been the attendant of justice. A copy of the Manifesto is inserted in the first page of this Paper. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Consol Market has taken a turn within this hour, and they are again 81 buyers for the Account, and 86i for Money, with a steady market, and a good deal of business doing. A quantity of Stock was carried over from the last Aecount for to-day. In the Foreign Market Mexican and Colombian Bonds still se main the chief speculation, nd they are steady at present, with little fluctuation. The Princess SOPHIA MATILDA arrived at her resi dence, in Curzon-street, yesterday afternoon, from her seat at 131ackheath.

ROSSINI has been created by the King of FRANCE a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Sir TYRwHITT JONES met with a serious accident on Thursday, whilst shooting upon one of his Manors near Shrewsbury, a spent shot having entered his right eye; the sight of which, his medical attendants are fearful, will be lost. The Lady Wellington has arrived, with the Mail of the 7th of September from New York, and with that of the 2lst of September from Halifax. PLYMOUTH NAVAL CLna.—The last dinner for the year of this Club took place on Wednesday, at Whiddon's Royal Hotel, to celebrate the anniversary of Admiral Lord DUNCAN'S action off Camperdown. Colonel A aitattertitx took the Chair, and had Major Box' for his Vice-President. The evening was enli vened by vocal and instrumental music of the choicest description, and the party, having closed. the day in great harmony, broke up about midnight. Mr. ROLAND, Train Bearer to the Speaker of the House of Commons—an office he had performed for twenty-six years, has retired, with the approbation of the present Speaker, on a pension, paid out of the Fund created by the Act for better regu lating Barliainentary Offices. He held the situation during the Speakerships of ...-Lnrtis SIOMOUTH. Itanesnsca, and COLCHISTER j and during the nine years Mr. M. &Trois has been Speaker. The following nielancholy and affecting occurrence 'lately took place at St. Petersburgh :—As Laurie Mur ray, mate of the Janet, from Leith, was standing on the side of his brother's ship, and in the act of shaking hands with him, the plank on which he stood slipt, and he fell into the water and was drowned. He was twenty-five years of age, and has left a widow and child in Leith. THE GLOVE TRADE.—There is at this moment an in creased demand for gloves, and more hands are em ployed, the demand for French gloves having been more limited than was anticipated. Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, a female, about 30 years of age, was seen running in the direction from Charing-cross to Pall-mall. Eicepting a shawl over her shoulders, she was in a state of entire nudity. She knocked at Carlton Palace, and on the gate being opened, made her way into the Court yard, whence she was immediately turned out by the porter. The poor Lady was evidently in a state of mental derangement. husband, she said, was an inmate of the Palace, and his name Jacob Burton, and our informant was shortly after assured, that this was the fact. Letters from the Archipelago announce the arrival of Lord Cochrane at Napoli di Romania, but they add, that he aspires to command in chief the whole of the Greek Admirals and Navy. They also announce that Lord Cochrane has brought seven vessels, part Ameri can, part French, and only one English. They con clude by asserting, that the Captain Pacha bad suffered a considerable check near Samos, frOm Sachturi's fleet, and that it had been obliged to abandon the troops disembarked at Samos. After the .check, one part of his fleet took refuge in Boudron, and the other in Smyrna. BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 15. Lord and Lady Holland, for whom the Steyne mansion recently vacated by the Earl of Harrington, had been engaged since Friday oe'nniglit, came in about seven o'clock this evening. The Russian Prince Gottchakoff met with an unpleasant accident on Thursday. While taking an airing along the East Cliff. his horse suddenly stumbled, and can him, with considerable violence, to the ground. The head of his Highness was considerably contused, and the extravasated blood produced a black eye. One knee also was so much bruised, that on lifting him from the earth he found great' pain and difficulty in walking. Prompt assistance being rendered by parties on the spot, be returned to the Royal York Hotel in one of our hackney fly carriages.—His Highness has nearly recovered from the painful effects of the fall, but as yet conspicuously exhibits the marks of a black eye. His Highness has been repeatedly visited at the Royal York Hotel by Prince Lieven. The Earl of Glengall is prolonging his stay here. _ _ Mt. Montague Gore left the Royal York Hotel this morning. Mr.. Coutta and Miss Goddard, and Lord and Lady Dudley Stewart, are remaining with us. Mrs. Huskissop has left us and returned to town. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. Nrww*izrr, MONDAY EVEO.

The County of Dublin Roman Catholic Meeting was held yesterday, at Kilmtinhasn ; Hugh O'Connor, Esq. was called to the Chair.—Colonel Talbot was present, and was hailed with universal acclamation. Lord Killeen entered the assembly an hour after the Meeting had proceeded to business. His Lordship was most rapturously received. The principal Speakers and Movers of the Resolutions were—Mr. Fitzsimon, Mr. Power, Mr. D. O'Reilly, Mr. Luke Plunkett, Mr. Uric, Mr. Redmond, Mr. Con way, Mr. Saunton,and Mr. Frayne. Sir Charles Morgan moved a vote of thanks to the Marquis Wellesley. This Resolution was car ried with acclamation. Tuesday night, six lambs were stolen out of the demesne of Moydi um Castle, Westmeath, belonging to Viscount Castlemaine. Same night, the house of a man named Hinson, of Knockarea, near Athlone, was mali ciously set fire to, and the owner, a very old man, with difficulty escaped from the flames. Thursday evening, a large party of Rockites, attacked and broke open the house of John Sheeran, in the vicinity of Moate.— Sheeran fortunately made his escape on hearing them approach his house, and secreted himself. The assassins being disappointed in the object of their visit, beat his son in a most savage manner, and in searching for Sheeran they pierced the beds with their bayonets, sup posing him to be underneath. A man named Keegan was cruelly murdered about ten days before. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ARMAGH. A disgraceful riot took place in this city on Friday. It having been intimated to Mr. Maxwell, M.P. for Cavan, that a few of the freeholders and inhabitants intended to testify their respect for him Ist drawing him out of the city, on hip departure for Cavan, that Gentleman kindly consented to the arrangement. Accordingly, a few minutes after two o'clock, Mr. Maxwell left Roger's Hotel, in his carriage, drawn by the before•named individuals; but had not proceeded farther than the Charter-school Lane, when a general at tack with stones, sticks, &c. was made on the party, by a multitude of men, women, and boys. Fortunately, Mr. Maxwell escaped unhurt ; but a respectable inhabitant was knocked down at the front of the carriage, in consequence of which one of his legs and three ribs were broken, by the carriage passing over his body. But for the arrival of the Police it is to be feared, many lives would have been lost. The Sovereign and Captain Winder held an inves tigation on this subject on the following day, and informations were taken by them against eleven of the most prominent rioters. VIOLENT INTERRUPTION OF A MEETING OF THE HIBERNIAN SCHOOL SOCIETY. BALLIPIASLOZ, OCTOIER 12, FOUS O'CLOCK. A deputation from the London Hibernian School Society, of Captains Gordon and Verner,accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Pope, of Cork, commenced their Meeting here on Tuesday last; Lord Dunk, in the Chair. Immediately after the first Resolution being proposed by our Rector, the Rev. Mr. Pounden, and seconded by Captain Gordon, Mr. E neas Mac-Donnell rose, and uttered a speech that occupied nearly three hours in its delivery. He was ably answered by the Rev. Mr. Pope and Captain Gordon, which closed Tuesday's proceedings. Shortly after the Chair was taken next day, Mr: MCDONULL went to it again, and spoke for nearly six hours. After an ineffectual attempt of Mr. Macdonnell, assisted by his partizans, to prevent a reply from Mr. Pope, the Noble Chairman decided otherwise; bet it being six o'clock when Mr. Macdonnell concluded his tirade of scurrility, an adjournment took place to this day, with an understanding that Mr. Pope was to be heard in reply. but no—it was a paramount object with them not to give Mr. Pope a hearing—his well-merited castigation was dreaded ; for as soon as this Gentleman rose to speak, a scene of turbulence, clamour, and mob shouting commenced that baffles ill description. Mr. Mac dolmen and his satellites went to work ; and, but for the prompt nem of the Magistrates present, in calling to their aid the police, and reading the Riot Act, HEAT= only knows what the result would be; as it was, the Ladies had to escape from this sanguinary mob by the windows of the Market-house on a shed, and then precipitate them selves from off a height of 20 feet from the ground. Gracious GOD ! what a state of society we live in, when hundreds of Ladies , by title mid birth, were obliged, in desperation, to fling themselves from out if windows to escape the brutal attack of a demoralised and ferocious set of miscreants I I can assure you, well did the police belabour them with the sheaths of their swords; and as soon as the room was cleared of these obtrudes, and order being restored, the Archdea con of Ardagh was called to the Chair, when a most able and do wses reply to Mr. Macdonnell was delivered by Mr. Pope, which called teeth the entbndastic shouts of all present. /Yob to the firmness of the Magistrates, the Venerable Arch. demos Trench, Dean Mahon, and W. M' Donough, Esq. for the .udicioss arrangements made to have the peace kept, all is tranquil. THE MURDERS NEAR LEATHERHEAD. • SURREY GENERAL QUARTER SESSIONS, KINGSTON-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning at the Town Hall, Kingston, before HZDOER, Esq. and one of the most crowded Benches ever witnessed. In fact, the general body of the Surrey Magistrates were present. There are on the present occasion a more than usual number of prisoners for trial, principally from the East Hundred of Brixton, and parts adjacent ; but the only subject that engrosses attention, is the late horrible Mtn., der at Fetcham, near Leatherheall ; the perpetrators of which, we have every reason to believe from what transpired, will not elude justice for any lengthened pe riod. The Rev. Mr. Holland, whose active zeal reflects so much credit on him, conjointly with the County Magistrates, was on the Bench, and the witness Sheath, and others, were in attendance. A consultation took place on the horrid aimr in question, and some fresh facts were made known, which tend strong. ly to strengthen the suspicions already entertained against certain persons. It was remarked, that the feeling around Fetcham had received an increased sti mulus from the discovery made yesterday morning and the previous evening, which was farther strengthened last sight. The officers, Hall, Pople, and Grassmith, having strictly searched the town haunts of the suspected persons, returned and made the Magistrates acquainted with the result of their enquiries, and of the nature of the information they had received ; and the result was, that Hall went off by post towards Brentwood, Pople to Croydon, Maidstone, tic. and Grassmith in a third direc tion, which we, for certain reasons, abstain from men tioning at present, fearful it might thwart the ends of justice. From the fact of the Magistrates not having heard from the Officers, it was confidently expected that such had been the exertions of the Officers, that they had obtained fresh information on the road,and had proceeded on. Up to 12 o'clock no intelligence had been received, either at Kingston or at Union-hall, as to the result of the pursuit; but from information obtained by the OE6- ' cers in London, and those around Fetcham, it was con jectured that the parties in pursuit of whom the Officers have been sent off, had become alarmed, and in conse quence had taken different directions. In fact this is the more likely, as neither of the Officers, who are in possession of the most patticular description of their persons, had returned. Since writing the above, we have been informed that a man answering the description of one of the men seen in company with the female (lgainst whom strong sus picion attaches), was atLeatherhead fair,and was seen on the Maidstone road. It is said Government will also offer a reward for the apprehension of the offenders.— When our Reporter left the Town Hall, Kingston, the Magistrates were anxiously ass aitirg the arrival of a communication from the Officers. FURTHER PARTICULARS. On Saturday night, at the conclusion of the Inquest that took place at the Bell public house, Petcham, on the bodies of the unfortanate individuals who were mur dered on Thursday night last, Mr. Hall, the chief con. stable, and Pople, the officer, set out for town. On their road home, in passing through the village of Merton, they were informed by the landlord of the Bells public house, that a man dressed is a fustian jacket and trou sers had called there on Friday morning, about ten o'clock. The stranger took his seat in the tap room, and called for a pint of porter. There were several labouring men there at the time, all of whom were conversing on the subject of the murder that had been committed the previous night at Fetcham. The pint of porter having been served to the stranger, on putting it to his lips and drinking out of it, the landlord, as well as two or three others in the room, observed that there were spots of blood on the wristband of his shirt. The circumstance excited some surprise at the time, and on more close observation, there were also spots of blood seen on the front part of his shirt. The man appeared to be in a hurry, and having finished his beer, he left the house, and proceeded on the road towards London.— Mr. Hall, on hearing these particulars, expressed con . - siderable surprise that he was not detained, in conse quence of the very suspicious circumstances under which he entered the house; but the landlord Laid, that only having just heard of a report of a murder having been committed, and not certain as to the truth of it, he took no further notice, but allowed the man to depart. When Mr. Hall arrived in town, he communicated the above facts to Grassmith,,an active officer, who had immediate instructions to proceed in search of this per son. Grassmith was successful in his inquiries, and apprehended a young man in the parish of Bermondsey, precisely answering the description of the suspected per son, who was brought up to Union-hall Police Office yesterday morning, and underwent an examination before R. J. Chambers, Esq. Grassmith stated, that the prisoner's name is John Corney, and that on Sunday night, in the course of his inquiries he ascertained that the person whom he wanted was seen in a low public house in Kent -street, late on Friday night, and that he had every appearance of having just come out of the country. The officer fol lowed up the search, and at length took the prisoner into custody at a public house in Bermondsey; in the •tap-roam of which, it appeared, he had been very com municative to the company on the subject of the mur ders. Grassmith immediately commenced an exatnina tion of his clothes, and on looking at his shirt he observed a large spot of what he was convinced was blood on the bosom of it. He questioned Corney as to the cause, when the latter replied that it was caused by some port wine splashing upon it, while is the act of drawing the cork out of the bottle. The shirt was here produced before the Magistrate, and the spot of blood alluded to was perceptible. Mr. C11A31511141 then proceeded to put the following questions to Carney: What are you?—l am a labmirer, Sir, and have worked some time in the employment of Captain Everard, of Lock's-fields. Have you been in the country lately ? Yes, Sir, I have been down in Surrey. What part of Surrey ?—Near Leatherhead. How long had you been there 3—Since the commencement of Leatherhead fair. What were you doing there?—Why, Sir, I was sent by master to Mr. Bruce, the landlord of the Rising Sun public-house, to assist him in his business during the fair. What distance is the Rising Sun from Fetcham 7—lt is a little better than balf a mile. _ _ _ -- Did you sleep at Sun every night ?—Yes, Sir, and . liir. Bruce can certify that I slept there. On Thursday night are you certain you slept there?—Yes, Sir. I am. What part of the house did yea sleep in tLat night ?—I slept in a two-bedded room, at the top of the house. Can hlr. Bruce speak to that fact 7-11 he can't, Anne, the ser vant girl, can. ___ What time did you go to bed?—t at up rather late, in account of the company; I should think it was after one o'clock when I retired to rest. Did any other person sleep in the room with you, and tell me bis name?—There was another man alert in the neat bed; he was a farmer•like looking person, but I cant t say what his name is.
