HONES AND CUSHING'S GREAT UNITED STATES CIRCUS, ROYAL ALHAMBRA rALACE, LEICESTER-SQUARE, Will open for the winter season on MONDAY, Nov. 8. Two performances daily, commencing at 2 and 7 o'clock, p.m. Doors open at half-past one and half-past six o'clodk. - The Great United States Circus re-opens in London (after its provincial tour), not merely in its entirety, not simply , as it first attracted audiences whose 'name was legion," but with new stars added to the firmament of its glory, and with fresh flowers culled from the gardens of talent to adorn the bouquet of its brightness ; not that its spring flowers hive lost their beauty, nor that its well-known stars have paled in their respective constellations, but " Excelsior " is the motto of the proprietors, and the Alhambra Palace, the Gem Am phitheatre of the World, having undergone a thorough reno vation and re-decoration, will open on Monday, is November 8, at 2 o'cleek,p.m:, with aw army of talent whin the Eques trian worlddefied to equal. It shall be the constant study of the Management to place before their patrons nothing but what is without reproach and unapproachable,—so that the most intellectual and refined may come with the full assur ance that in the refreshing originality of the animated varie ties given in this establishment, nothing will be allowed that shall offend the most fastidious, or tint the check of modesty. In this array of talent will be found Miss Rose Madigan, Senora Delavanti, Mdlle. Mathilde, Mdlle. Gertrude, Mdlle. Gahuses, Senora Mine y Pons, Senora Consciendo, Miss Hen rietta Laren, La Petite Emma, J. Murray, J. Holland, Signor Delavanti and Family, Davis Richards, J. Myers, J. Pentland, J. Madigan, the Roman Brothers, H. P. Madigan, M. Myers, C. Madigan, S. Reynolds, Ferdinand R. Larkin, A. Mintom, J. Rosston, D. Rice, M. Anable, the Tribe of Bedouin Arabs, four clowns—Pentland, Myers, Ferdinand, and Jack son ;—also (just arrived from America) Lavater Lee and his talented Family, and the vaunted rider of Fame's Loudest Trumpet—William Omar, who stands the Alpha of all eques trians, so far superior, that the highest encomium that can be passed upon any horseman of the present day is, that he stands second to none but young Omar. The above Company comprises Sixty of the Best Performers ever assembled together, all of whom will appear at the same time in a Grand Trial of Skill, entitled The " HERCU LANEUM," never before represented in England. The stud of Cream and Spotted Steeds Is large and fault less. The renowned Trick Horse Black Eagle, the Horse of Beauty, and those wonderful hybrids the Educated Mules, Pete and Barney, will be introduced at each exhibition. With these attractions, Messrs. Howes and Cushing announce again, with all confidence, yet most respectfully, the appear ance of the United. States Circus in the metropolis.

Carriages to be in attendance at half-past 4 and 10 o'clock p.m. INTICOLLS' NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured such general popularity to Messrs. Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful out line, as well as to effect a 'great saving in wear - the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of' this new garment, simulta neously with the display . in London, but it is necessary to in form the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud, and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red silk letters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, CornhilL A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, &c. HJ. and D. NICOLL recommend for an out • side Coat the Havelock ; and for ordinary use the Cape Suit, such being well adapted for young gentlemen, as exhibiting considerable economy with general excellence. Gentlemen at Eton, Harrow, Winchester, the Military and Naval Schools, waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR - LADIES. NICOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning wear, or for-covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but with the M6canique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, li'ur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and flt well. Femaleattendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. H. J. and D.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with forThor are' themselves, and we forced to the conclusion that its celebrity ari es solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it.

An official, return gives .some statistical details relative to the increase of thaFrench population. .In 1851, France contained 35,078, 628 inhabitants, and in 1856 36,039,364. This increase, however, is far from being divided equally.over the whole ceun.try, the department of the Seine having by far the greater share. The population of that department in 1806 was 546,856 ; in 1830, 909,126 ; in 1851; 1,053,7.66 ; and in 1856, 1471,346.

Hart, Esq., of Rathmolton, was returning from • Derry, and when within 100 yar d s o f hi s residence he was attacked by a party of men armed with guns. They beat him most unmercifully, and his escape is owing to the fact of his being a powerful and active man. The ruffians had a bulldog with them, with which they worried the poor steward whilst they were beating him. The Derry Standard of yesterday says :—" There have been several meetings of magistrates in refer. ence to the attempted murder of Mr. Nixon, and a reward of £6OO for the discovery of the criminals has been offered. Several parties have been arrested on suspicion, but if information has been conveyed to the authorities it is still kept secret. Mr. Nixon, we are glad to say, is now considered out of danger."

THE .REPRESENTATION OF BANI3URY. On Saturday evening fast information was re ceived in Banbury that our much-esteemed friend, Mr. Tancred, who has for more than 25years faith fully represented this borough, had experienced a severe attack of illness, by which he was so pros trated as to exclude all hope of his being again able to resume his Parliamentary duties. It was already well known that there were several gentle men anxious to represent Banbury whenever a vacancy might occur; indeed, the number sug gested by rumour was ridiculously large, and the painful intelligence we have referred to above was likely to induce some of them at once to present themselves to the electors. This effect it has had. At different periods in the spring of the year we were authorised to announce that Mr. Sergeant Pigott, the eminent counsel ; Mr. Samuelson, proprietor of the Britannia Iron Works, and a large employer of labour in this place; and the Hon. I. F. T. W. Fiennes, eldest son of the Lord Saye and Sele, of Broughton Castle, would offer themselves as candi dates. Two of these gentlemen are now before the electors. Sergeant Pigott arrived in Banbury on Monday-, and issued an address, which was followed `up an Tuesday morning by an anonymous handbill calling upon the electors to reserve their votes for a " real Reformer." The learned gentleman made a few calls and left town on Tuesday, intending to return in a day or two, when he • will invite the constituency to meet him at the Town-hall, to listen to an explanation in detail of his political opinions. On Tuesday placards were issued stating. that Mr. Samuelson would arri ve i n B an b ur y on Wednesday and calling upon th e e l ec t ors t o reserve their votes until they had heard the opinions of the various candidates. Mr. Samuelson reached Banbury about midday on Wednesday. By Mr. Fiennes we are authorised to say that he has abandoned the inten tion of offering himself as a candidate. On Wed nesday an address was issued by a Conservative candidate, Mr. Hardy, a highly respectable gentle man of fortune, connected we believe with iron works in the north of England and whoseresidence is at Dunstall-hall, Burton-upon-Trent, by whom an active canvass was shortly afterwards commenced. A handbill has been circulated to the effect that either Mr. Cobden or Mr. Miall will be brought forward. We have no knowledge of the authority by which such a statement has been made.—Ban bury Guardian. ANOTHER AWFUL COLLIERY ACCI- DENT IN SOUTH WALES. This day it is our painful duty to record the loss of 10 more lives thr oug h a colliery catastrophe in South Wales. Thus, in less than three months, have no less than 30 colliers fallen sacrifices to the dangers attendant upon milling operations, and that within a radius of 30 miles. The full particu lars of the distressing accident which we are now called upon to record have not yet transpired, in consequence of the colliery being situate in a some what backward district, so far at least as railway communication is concerned. It occurred on. Wed nesday evening last in the Cae Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Davies, Francis, and Co., situate at Mar ble Hall, near Llannelly, Carmarthenshire, about 12 miles from Swansea. From the particulars which have come to hand it appears that in the afternoon of the day mentioned the men were engaged in their daily avocations, when one of them suddenly struck into an " old vein," which had long since been closed, and which must have become filled with water, for no sooner was the entrance made than the pit in which the men were engaged was filled with water, and the ten men and boys who were known to be' working there have in - all human probability perished. Notwithstanding every effort the water continued to rise the whole of the evening and the succeeding night, and on Thursday morning there were no less than three fathoms of water in the pit. A large engine was with all promptitude put to pump the water out of the pit, but failed to reduce the depth mere than a few inches up to the time our report was despatched. We have been unable to ascertain the names of the whole of the men whose lives have been thus prematurely sacrificed, but two of them—Daniel Thomas, of Caetyrgarn, and John Thomas, of La ncrch—are married men, having several children dependent upon them for support ; the remaining eight are either unmarried men or boys. The colliery has been visited by hundreds of per sons, and every means have been adopted to recover the bodies, but up to a late hour on Thursday even ing they had been unsuccessful.

An important meeting of the most influential hop planters of Kent and Sussex was held in this town to-day, in order to organise an agitation in favour of the total and unconditional repeal of the hop duty. The Hon. Mr. Brand, M.P., presided ; and among those present were Mr. Dobson, M.P., Mr. M. Body, Mr. G. P. Bacon, and other gentlemen con nected with the Hop Excise Duty Repeal Associa tion. The meeting was held in the Sussex Hotel, and the large room was densely crowded, between 400 and 500 hop planters being present. The Hon. Mr. BRAND, M.P., in opening 'the proceedings, said that it gave him the greatest plea sure to take part in the movement. Ever since he had consieered the question he had been opposed to the continuance of the excise duty upon hops, and it was his decided conviction that until the repeal of that duty was effected the cultivation of that important plant would never be in a healthy and satisfactory condition. It was of no use to talk of the relaxation of the duty • it must be re pealed altogether. (Cheers.) He 'never could understand on what ground this particular plant, of all others, should be selected for taxation, nor could he comprehend why it was that the planter of hops was to be the only individual who was to be visited in his fields and grounds by the excise man. (Hear.) He strongly recommended to all who were interested in the cultivation of hops not to rest until they had secured the total repeal of the duty. (Cheers.) They might rely upon it that they would have all the assistance he could give them in making this attempt, for nothin could afford him g reater satisfaction than to be ab l e here after to say that he had some small part in accom plishing the object for which this meeting was held. (Cheers.) It was not at all necessary for him to enter into a lengthened statement of the merits of the question, which had been frequently canvassed, and with respect to which the practical men whom he saw before him were so well in formed. It was one in which Kent and Sussex were alike interested, and therefore he trusted that they wottld go hand in hand together upon it. (Hear.) If they did, he had little fear for the results of this agitation; but if, on the other hand, they were induced to listen to the different schemes which had from time to time been suggested, they would most assuredly fail. He hoped that nothing would induce them to support any proposition for the mere diminution of the duty on hops. They must obtain their whole object or nothing, for a compromise would be ruinous. It was only by the total repeal of tye duty that the business of the hop planter could be rendered prosperous. (Cheers.) Mr. OVERY then moved—" That a memorial be presented to the Lords of the Treasury, praying for the total and unconditional repeal of the excise duty on hops." Mr. BURY seconded the resolution. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the me morial, which stated the grievances of the hop planters at great length, and prayed the Lords of the Treasury to take into consideration the diffi culties and extreme embarrassment in which they found themselves, owing to the operation of the duty. It also implored their lordships to avert the absolute ruin in which they would be involved if they were compelled, as they had been of late years, to ask the indulgence of the Exchequer for the further postponement of the payment of the duty. It was also agreed to appoint a deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. DODSON, M.P., expressed, the very great pleasure which he should feel in bringing the subject before the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in company with_ the other gentlemen who formed the deputation, convinced as he was that there never would be any chance for the bop grower until the duty was entirely got rid of. IVith respect to the question of a total or a partial repeal of the hop duty, he admitted that there had been some difference of opinion on the subject. He thought that the planters who had associated them selves together to demand the total repeal of the duty could do so on far better grounds—of common sense and principle, and their arguments would all be found embodied in the memorial. By the pre sent system there was one uniform duty upon all hops whatever, whether good, bad, or indifferent, and it was often paid long before the hops were sold. Indeed, in some cases, the duty was paid upon hops which were never sold at all. (Hear.) The tax was not what it professed to be—a tax on beer, because if it were it would be paid on the manufactured article, but, as they knew very well, the duty was paid on many hops which never found their way to the brewers at all. (Hear.) 'Then, again, the tax was one which was contrary to all sound principles of political economy, because it was one which was paid out of the pockets of the producers. It was all very well for political econo mists to tell them that all taxes were eventually paid by the consumer ; but in this case there wai, as he had already reminded them, no consumer at all with respect to some of the h ops upon which duty was paid ; and he defied any political econo mist whatever to find any pocket out of which the duty could come, exe:pt that of the producer. Th is aggravated to a very great extent the natural risk of the planter, and it was besides one of so uncer tain a nature that after all it was of very little value to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. If there - fore, they went manfully and demanded its total repeal as a matter of justice, they could do so with a far greater degree of confidence in the ultimate success of their efforts than those who asked for its reduction, merely because they could only ask it as a matter of kindness and charity. Even those who clamoured for the removal of the war duty alone, thereby admitted that it was proper that hops should be taxed. They made the question not one of principle, but convenience; wheras, by coming forward and boldly demanding the repeal of the tax on the question of its unsoundness, financially considered, and its unfair bearing on the hop plan ters, they stood upon higher ground than those who demanded the reduction or repeal of any other Ex cise duty whatever. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. ANNIVIMSARY OF THE BATTLE OF INKEILILI.LYX. Yesterday being the anniversary of Inkermann, or, as it was aptly termed, " the battle of the com mon soldiers," a grand fete was given at the Crystal Palace in honour of the • occasion. It is scarcely necessary to call attention to the events of that great and glorious day, which will ever be remem bered with exultation wherever the English lan guage is known, although that feeling must b• mixed with sorrow by the remembrance of the many devoted heroes who fell before the overwhelming force by which they were so suddenly and unex pectedly assailed. There is no event in our his tory in which the chivalric courage and un daunted fortitude of Britishtroops were so eminently displayed as on the bloody field of Inkermann, and the anniversary of that memorable battle must ever, therefore, be dear to the national feelings of all classes of our countrymen. It must in a special manner be so to those who happily survived the slaughter of that dreadful day, and the Crystal Palace was therefore filled with hundreds of the Coldstream and Scots Fusilier Guards, who took so glorious a part in that memorable engagement. In order to give the fete as much eclat as possible, the company admitted free every soldier who pos sessed the Crimean decoration, and for the enter tainment of the visitors various sports and pastimes by military competitors were introduced consisting of Cumberland and west country wrestling, hurdle races, single stick, jumping in sacks, jingling, &c. The prizes offered by the company were, for the first in wrestling and hurdle races, ten shillings; the second five, and the third t w o-and -sixpence ; for jumping in sacks and jingling, five shillings and two-and-sixpence ; and for single-stick seven-and sixpence and five shillings. The amusement created by these exhibitions of physical power and activity was really beyond conception, and excited the greatest laughter among the vast crowd who attended on this occasion. The band of the Cold stream and Scots Fusilier Guards contributed to the entertainments of the day, and the performances of the latter regiment were no less conspicuous. The beaut if u l g rounds of the Palace were covered from an early hour with a multitude of pleasure seekers , .and the beauty of the day made the whole affair pass over in the most delightful manner. •
