CITY, Two o'CLocK. The improving tendenc3 r of trade is confirmed by the weekly returns of rail way traffic. During the last few months a steady i increase has been appa rent, but the movement appears to be attaining greater development, owirt g to the expansion of business in the manufactur e mg districts. The par tial recovery which is take dig place in distant mar kets has also increased the import and export opera tions of the United Kinge"om. The prospects of rail way shareholders are 'consequently improved, and there is now every reason to believe that the ne gotiations which have been. entered into between the rival companies for the cessation of hostilities will terminate favoural Indeed, some satisfac tory arrangement is al ready concluded, which will have the effect of benef•dng railway property to a Considerable extent. DI .e Share Market, therefore, Presents a firmer appearance, and it has been noticed recently that the public have been making steady investments in so: me of the principal under takings. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhibited increased firmness, and. prices tended upwards. The sales amounted to 10, 000 bales. On the Stock Ecchange a very moderate business was transacted in Railway Shares, and quotations were unaltered. There is not tie least change to report in the po sition of the Money Marl Let. It is still abundantly supplied, with a comparatively limited demand. The commercial requirements of the country are easily satisfied, without pr educing much effect upon the accumulated resources of the bankers and others. Some of the hef Lvier payments connected with loan and other projects lately negotiated have now been paid, which hris relieved the market, and lessened the general inquiry. First-class bills are negotiated at 21 21- peg• cent., and at the Bank of England few applica dons for accommodation are consequently received:, as the minimum is still maintained at 3 per cont. Increased firmness is apparent in the market for Public Securities, owin3• to a few purchases based upon the more favourable appearance of monetary affairs. The demand for discount and the exporta tion of gold movements, which caused the recent depression, have diminislhed, and it is only natural that an improving tenth ncy should now become apparent. Consols have been 98k 1 for money, and 9S for account ; the New Threes have been dealt in at 961 97, and the Reduced Annuities at 96 y ; the New 31 per Cents. are marked 1061 ; the March Exchequer Bills, are 335. to 355. prem. ; June ditto, 28s. to 31s. prem.; and ditto Bonds, 100 1. ; India Loa' Debentures 99: for the Ist issue, a nd 991 for the 2d. ditto. A fair amount .of business is recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices are firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 921 93 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 105 1 - ; ditto Scrip, Ist issue, 1 r par; ditto, 2d - "sue, 1 4 prem., being rather higher.

Eastern Counties, Great Western, and Midland improved s s. ; Caledonian, North-Western, North British, and South-Eastern, 10s. ; and Great Northern, £l. In the foreign and colonial markets the dealings have been extremely limited. Paris and London, Sambre and Meuse, and Pernambuco have realised about previous rates ; East Indian have improved ss. Joint-stock bank and miscellaneous shares show little activity, and prices are steady.

The whole of the evidence has been taken, and the trial i s ex p ec t e d t o C omo on at t h e nex t M arc h assizes. ST. MARTIN'S HALL.—The musical season Was inaugurated hero last n i g ht, with Mendelssohn's " St. Paul," and two n ew vocalists, Mille. Behrens and Mr. Arthurson. The lady is a decided acquisition to our sacred co ncer ts. She possesses a contralto voice of great richness, where a contralto voice ought to be rich, in the lower Parts, and of great power. She knows perfectly how to manage it, and has evidently been 4v_ell and . carefully trained. She had not much oppo r t >a utt„. of distinguishing herself, as but little music is given tote contralto in the oratorio, She has a very graceful and pleasing figure, and with so many a dvantages, has a most promising care e r be fore her. The tenor, Mr. Arthurson, has a good and agreeable voice, which he knows how to manage, and sings with force a nd expres sion. The other parts were taken by Mdlle. de Villar and Mr. Santley. The latter sang the ` - ' 1 " "As saith the Prophet , " with so much..spirit and . as to call for special commendation. Mdlle. de Villar likewise acquitted herself well, obtaining much applause in her air, " 0 rest in the Lord." The choruses were good, ( ten too lo u d, but ga ve the chorales very correctl y; and as + "'ego are th e most - interesting features of the oratorio, Much of the pleasure of the evening d e p ended upon them. t he band was " as usual, admirable. Mr. Hullah was re ceived with loud and general applause on entering the Orche s t ra, and performed his duty as conductor with his acc ustomed zeal. The hall was crowded, and the audience Were evidently delighted with the oratorio. REPEAL OF TIIE PAPER DITTY.—A meeting of master printers was held this day, at Peel's Coffe e-house, Fleet -street, for the purpose of taking steps to further the 4,Tvereent now making for the remission of the paper duty. in favour chair was occupied by Mr. Cassel, who spoke strongly `aveur of its repeal. Mr. Besley moved a resolution, Which stated that as the paper duty was a tax upon ra w material it ought to be abolished. Mr. Nieolls the tax the motion, and contended that the repeal of That would benefit the few at the expense of the million. . ' 1 the obj : q of the meeting was a question not of na tional benefit, but purely one of self-interest ; and that it IN vv * as an effort of a few to aggrandise those who were already eal thy. He looked upon the attempt to procure the re '.4 of tie paper duty as the greatest delusion that had ex- Led since the South Sea bubble. The resolution was s t r r iel, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated Prcceedings. Self. ST. SHARE MARKET.-( THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railways. 12.10 Arnberg., Notting.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls finding the annuities perpetual. The bequest upon which the question arises is contained in the will of the late Mr. Wright, and is in the following terms :—" I give to my wife, Ann Wright, £3OO annuity as a rent charge on my estate, to be paid to her for life in quarterly payments for her separate use ; and 1 bequeath a similar rent charge of £3OO per annum to my children for life for their educa tion and maintenance, and on their death I direct a sale of the same ; and I hereby give £2O yearly annuity to my friend James Harvie, my executor, his heirs and assigns." The Lord Chancellor, on the authority of the case of Stokes, 4 Exchequer Reports, and other reported cases, was of opinion that the annuities bequeathed were good perpetual annuities. His lordship affirmed the decree of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with ,costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) JUDGMENT--NRALB V. DAY. The contention in this case arose out of transactions w hich took place between the defendant, Mr. Edward Day, and Mr. William Wright, the purchaser, in 1852, of an ani tuity to his wife. Mr. Wright conveyed to his trustee £3,952 in trust for certain uses, and in particular to pay an uity of £lOO to his wife. Several of his creditors had olitstined registered judgments against him, and the ques tion raised was whether the annuitant or the judgment creditors were preferable on his estate. Hill Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, on the authority of the ca.se of French v. French, was clearly of opinion that the registered judgment creditors were preferable to the annuita ut. Ho considered that Mr. Wright was not entitled to give such an annuity to his wife when his debts remained unpaid. He declared in favour of the judgment creditors, appointed a receiver, and ordered the funds to be brought into court, with liberty to Mr. Wright, if he shall be so advised, to redeem the annuity, and dismissed the bill with costs as between party and party. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Bofore Mr. Commissioner Goxdburn.) A QUESTIONABLE LEGACY.-IN RE YOUNGMAN. An application of a very singular nature was made in this case to on: ible a Miss Sarah Youngnma to receive a divi dend under the estate. The ta n ks of the case were—A sister of the claimant had died, leaving behind her a docu ment purporting to be a will, find which was admitted to probate, but on examination it was discovered that although the purport of it was to bequeath the whole of her estate and effects to one person, yet, by a very singular omission, the name of the legatee did not appear, although the testa tor, on many occasions, and even on her deathbed, said she intended to leave everything to her sister Sarah, as all her other brothers and sisters were well off. The document not being legally a will, the property would legally become divisible between all the brothers and sisters, eight in number ; but they had given up all their claims, and the question was whether the dividend could be paid to the claimant individually. The assignees were willing to do this if the Court would sanction it. His Honour said the family arrangement was highly creditable, and if all parties consented there could be no difficulty, as each party could hand over their shares. Mr. Burbey said the assignees would pay the amount to save the expense of a dividend meeting if they could be indemnified, and they would act on his Honour's opinion. His Honour said that, according to morality and justice, the claimant was entitled, but legally a dividend m us t b e made, the signaasndalleeps tariesprove. He N io u ld ma k e no or d er, mightexercise their discretion. Th e gene ralof creditors would not be affected, as the debt w as b p u r o t \ b -e o a d b y l e by some one. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE CALTSB OF THE LATE SIRE. PEEL'S DEATH.---.ADAMSON V. WHIPPLE. Plaintiff is a situated m and proprietor of a dis pensaryel ii c i i E cal ze p t r e a r. c e ti h tn aiongeer: and defendant is a fur dealer, of Bridgewater-gardens. The action was broug ht to recove r the s um of £ 3 for medical attendance and medicine supplied. Defendant objected to plaintiff's recovering ought but the drugs actually supplied; as he was not a member of the College of Surgeons. Plaintiff, with a broad and almost unintelligible Scotch accent, said that he had practised before the Apothecaries' Act came into operation. Ho commenced practice 40 years ago. His Honour—Then the act does not apply to plaintiff. Plaintiff—Well, sir, one day defendant was knockedliown in the Strand by a carriage, and I carried him into my dis pensary and bled him. His Honour—Bled him ? Plaintiff—Of course, fin. reaction. Why, I can also tell you, my good friend, that if Sir Robert Peel had been bled he would have been alive now. Hie Honour—Well, then, then, you the cat of Sir R. Peel's death was his not being bled .41K Plaintiff—l do. Well, sir, I bound his arm up, and gave him two pills and some ointment, and I visited him at his own house, and then the shabby fellow called in another professor. His Honour—Well, I think you charge him enough for bleeding, £1 ls. is a stiff price. Plaintiff—Ah, I am looked up to very much. You should see my book, " The Cause of Cholera." I'll send it to you. His Honour (hastily)—Oh 1 no don't. (Laughter.) What was the cause ? Plaintiff (as though parting with a secret)—lmpure air. (Laughter.) His Honour—Ah I Well, I've heard that the air in Rus sia is most pure and bracing, and cholera kills people there by thousands. Plaintiff (nonplused)—Ab.! That may be so, but you should read my book. Defendant thought this was a rogular extortion. He was carried into plaintiff's ,dispensary by the plaintiff himself. He bled me, whether I liked it or not. He tied my arm up with a piece of his wife's old dress, gave me two pills and a box of ointment, and forsibly entered my room, from which he was ordered by my son, and charges me now V. His Honour thought the plaintiff had stuck it on pretty well; but defendant must recollect that he was delivered from two things—the carriage and the doctor. Under all the circumstances plaintiff could only recover £1 le. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The following appointments wore made this day at the Admiralty : • Mr. Heath has been appointed Staff Surgeon and Me dical Storekeeper at Jamaica Hospital. Mr. Richard D. Mason to be Staff Surgeon to the Mel vin() hospital ship. IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE.-BAIN V. LINCOLN. In this case the plaintiff, as broker to Messrs. Robinson and Flemming, merchants, sought to recover the sum of 14 7s. for breach of contract under the following circum- stances : Messrs. Robinson and Flemming had chartered a vessel, of which defendant was captain. Defendant, however, took up another charter, and plaintiff's principal had to pay a higher rate of freight, and now sought to recover the da mages so sustained. His Honour—You are no party to the charter party? Plaintiff—No ; but lam agent to Mews. Robinson and Co., who hold me responsible. His Honour—You cannot sue. You have not signed the charter party. Your principals are contractors, and they having sustained the loss must sue. Plaintiff—Then I must ask your Honour for commission and charter stamp. That is always paid by the ship. His Honour—Then you will be nonsuited as to the breach of contract, and have a verdict for the commission. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FOREIGN PROSTITUTES.—DEPUTATION TO THE MA GISTRATES FROM THE VESTRY.—III the _course of the morning two or three foreign prostitutes were brought up before Mr. Bingham, charged with annoying gentlemen, near the County Fire-office, Regent-street, and in the case of one of them, Charlotte Lami, she was fined 10s., or ten days. The constable stated that he saw her and a com panion seize a gentleman, one by each arm, and after leav ing him repeat the same conduct to another. He then said he should take them into custody, when she made use of a very disgusting exrression. Mr. J. Gamlin, of 26, Sherrard-street, saddler, confirmed the constable's evidence. _ _ As soon as the case was disposed of, a deputation from the vestry of St. James's, consisting of Mr. Compton, of Brewer-street ; Mr. Snow, of Sherrard-stroet ; Mr. Gambier, of Sherrard-street ; Mr. Wildsmith, of Sherrard street ; and Mr. Elkington, of Regent-street, waited on Mr. Bingham, concerning the abominable nuisance of foreign prostitutes and fellows who live on their prostitu tion, assembling about Sherrard-street and the County Fire-office. _ _ _ In the course of some remarks between Mr Bingham and the deputation, it was stated that although the nui sance was still very great, yet there had been a great im provement since the constables of the A division had done duty there. Mr. Elkington said he thought if a little more imprison ment, instead of fines, was inflicted, it would have a good effect, as he believed they care little for fines, having a fund to meet them. Mr. Bingham said the fact was, the feeling of the coun try was against imprisonment. It was the wish of himself and colleague to keep the streets as decent as possible. Mr. Elkington said he understood that one of the women made £2B a week. Mr. Bingham said, in whatever was done, caution must be used, that the evil was not made worse. After some conversation, the deputation thanked his worship and withdrew. BREACH OF THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. — At the Liverpool police-court, yesterday (Wednesday), John De Mont, an unlicensed shipping master, was charged with having shipped several of the crew of the Goveriiment emi gration ship Vocalist, bound for Port Natal. It was pruned that De Mont procured "sailors," and shipped them on board emigrant ships, principally Australian. Three dif ferent charges were sustained, and a penalty of £2O in each caso was inflicted, or three months'imprisonment, making a total of £6O, or nine mouths' imprisonment. TATTE.RSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.) There were only one or two members present, and no bets worthy of quotation came under our notice. Nothing was done on the Derby, and we do not now expect to see much animation in betting on future events till after the Christmas holidays. SHREWSBURY RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

(From Bell's Life in Sydney) Several parcels of this gold are on exhibition in the jeweller's shops in George -street. It is of a. particularly dark and rich colour. In Messrs. Brush and Macdonnell's window is a sample weighing 13 oz. 10 dwts., sent up by Saddlington and Sons. All accounts agree that there is no hoax in the glow ing descriptions of the new gold field at the Fitz roy, and we trust that at length the icy spell so long suspended over the trade and business of this colony is broken at last. A great many persons, especially of the enterprising among our native youth, are taking their departure for the new land of promise, and should the favourable accounts hitherto received continue, we may contemplate an exodus upon a grand scale. Our northern neigh bours will, in the first instance, reap the more im mediate benefits accruing from the great impetus which the discovery of a gold field will give to their trade, but the more substantial and durable benefits will undoubtedly be con , ferred upon Sydney, as all the Sydneyites hastening to the Fitzroy, with whom we have conversed upon the subject, rush to the search for gold with th e u lti ma t e o bj ec t of returning enriched to Sydney. Several vessels have been advertised to depart from this port to the Fitzroy. The Pirate steamer is to sail on Monday, and is full of passengers. And, considering the circum stances of the case and the large demand for pas sage, the passage money charged is moderate, the price by the Maria being £5. Many persons whose opinions are entitled to respect are most sanguine in their expectation respecting the great richness and vast extent of the Fitzroy mines, and we do hope that these Chinese pests will not be permitted to turn over and spoil the ground as they arc accustomed to do in other gOld-fields. Of course, their especial patrons will be anxious for the Chi nese to got thither, if only from that envious spirit which makes tkem detest the sight of the enter prising labouring population of the colony, acquir ing wealth, elevating themselve s i n the social scale and in their turn becoming employers of labour ; so we suppose that the rat, rice, and chow-chow eating gentry cannot be prevented from participating in the newly-discovered wealth ; but it is right that some regulations should be framed and enforced to prevent them from ruining the ground by surfacing and turning it over in spots and patches. The old cry, " On to the diggings !" is once more re- sumed in Sydney, and we are likely soon to see again the healthful state of society when every man I will be his own servant, and the Governor will have to polish his own Wellingtons, through the departure of the viceregal lacqusys amongst the general crowd of adventurers to the diggings. The letter of Mr. Hort Brown, in a late number of the Sydney Morning Herald , is very satisfactory and reliable with respect to the richness and extent of the new discovery. We trust and believe that the discovery and opening of the Fitzroy gold field, will do more to resuscitate commerce and to relieve the great distress so prevalent of late in Sydney, than all the legislative enactments which have been carried during this tedious session of Parliament. We sincerely hope that it may prove so, and that the glory of Sydney is not departed. . There has been no authentic assay as yet of the gold brought to Sydney by the Jenny Lind from the Fitzroy, but a quantity of it has been sent to the branch of the Royal Mint for the purpose of being assayed. It is evidently very rich in quality. All of it has been obtained within two feet of the surface, and without any of the improved appliances at present in vogue for gold digging on the older established fields, but merely by dish and cradle washing. Great activity prevails in the coasting trade through this new impetus given to it. The Jane and the Maria sailed this morning for the Fitzroy, and some idea may be arrived at of the importance of the 'discovery from the following list of vessels laid on for immediate departure :—Pirate, steamer, 300 tons ; Yarra Yarra, steamer, on Thursday next ; Bonnie Boon, barque ; Lady Grey, schooner; Cal lender, schooner ; Isca, clipper ship, 500 tons ; Lavinia, schooner ; Staghound, schooner; Unknown, schooner; Duke of Wellington, schooner; and Cyclone, brig. The steamers have advertised very fair charges for passages to the new land of promise, viz., £9 in the saloon and £5 in the steerage. Great numbers of our ;young, active, enterprismg fellow towns men are preparing to depart, and we wish them the best of success. To use a commercialism— picks and shovels are again *king up, and our city ironmongers have already commenced doing a good stroke. Several respectable City firms are making the requisite arrangements for the establishment of branch houses at the Fitzroy,. amongst whom arc Messrs. Jones and Co., of George-street, through whom we shall be favoured with the earliest and most authentic accounts of the real state and pro gress of affairs. At the same time we will make ample arrangement for the supply of our paper with the latest and most interesting items of Sydney news to Sydney people at the Fitzroy. The Eagle steamer is due to-day from Moreton Bay, and, probably, we shall receive more ample particulars by her, and by the overland mail in the course of next week, which we shall have much pleasure in laying before our readers. As the European's mail closes this evening, we have given as full, and at the same time as strictly true, an account of this timely and important new gold discovery as possible, for the convenience of our friends who may be desirous of transmitting the gratifying intelligence to those who are near and dear to them in the old country. Since penning the above we have inspected a lump of dark auriferions quartz in the window of Messrs. Brush and Macdonnell, which was found in the hold of the Jenny Lind schooner, having been picked up with a lot more stones from the beach, near the diggings at Port Curtis, and put on board for ballast. It contains several .snialLparti cies of gold. Also, the largest nugget hitherto forwarded from the Fitzroy diggings, which weighs 31 ounces of pure gold. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT. —At a conference of delegates from the various temperance societies in Lon don, held in the Great Hall, Broadway, Westminster, on Monday evening, a re solution was passed strongly depre cating the keeping open of public-houses after ten o'clock on Saturday, as being a source of temptation to spend money and to commit crime to the working classes. It was fur ther resolved to take measures, by petition and otherwise, to have Saturday night assimilated to Sunday night in regard to the keeping open of houses for the traffic in strong drinks. The Rev. G. Hills, who is at present in London, has not as yct accepted tho Bish9pric of Columbia, "and it is'considered (says the Bury Post) by some doubtful that he will accept it." BRITISH MINES.

The young girl whose singular restoration to life has been previously recorded is still living. Having had an opportunity of inquiring into this very remarkable affair we are enabled to give the following particulars :—The girl, whose name is Amelia Hinks, is 12 or 13 years of age, and resided with her parents in Bridge-street, Nuneaton, and, dwindling away under some unaccountable com plaint, about three weeks ago she, as her friends imagined, died. The corpse was then removed to an other room. The body was rigid and icy cold. It was washed and laid out with the usual deathly accom paniments, penny pieces being placed over the eyes, and the coffin was ordered. For more than 48 hours the supposed corpse lay beneath the wind ing -sheet, when it happened that her grandfather, a very aged man, came from LeamiVon to the neighbourhood of Nuneaton. On going with a female relation to see the corpse the old man re moved one of the copper coins, and although the eye remained closed he fancied he saw a movement beneath the lid. The woman with him at first ridi culed the idea, but on looking more closely , she, too, observed a movement. The medical attendant was then apprised of the circumstance ; and, although he at first treated the matter as a delusion, the ap plication of an instrument to the region of the heart soon convinced him that there was life within the apparent corpse. The body was then removed to a warmer room, and the existence of life soon became apparent. By degrees animation was restored, a loud sneeze placing the fact of her being a living subject beyond all doubt. When speech was re stored the girl described everything that had taken place from the time of her supposed death. She knew who had closed her eyes and placed the cop pers thereon. She also heard the order given for her coffin, and could describe th e various remarks made over her as she lay in h er death-clothes. At first, on her restoration, she refused all sustenance, and on some aliment being forced upon her she be came frightfully excited, and, though in a state of extreme debility, it req uired great force to hold her. Since that period her conduct has been very strange. She entertains a wish to destroy he r f a ther and mother, and on one occasion when they were asleep in the same room with herself, she rose from her bed in the dead of the night, went down stairs for a light, and having first destroyed, b y burning, some needlework, which she knew her mother " set great store" upon, she set fire to the curtains, and then retired to, her bed, from which it was thought impossible she could have moved. In fact, so mysterious was the origin of the fire that her parents were quite at a loss to account for it, until the girl herself confessed having been the cause. She now lies in such a state that she can neither be called alive nor dead, the former state being only ascertained by a careful examination of -her pulse. "Were it not that there is no motive for deception, and the parents being creditable people, we should imagine there was some ruse in this very extraordinary affair, which is causing considerable excitement in Nuneaton and the neighbourhood. — Birmingham Daily Post. BEGGARS PAID IN THEIR OWN COIN.—" When a beggar asks me whiningly for charity (says a City Magis trate), I always give it him, either in the shape of advice, or a moral precept, or a bit of consolation; but never is the shape of money. I always pay beggars in their own coin — words—and it is singular how they dislike that form of payagUtl"...etinCh. THE LATE LORD DTDLEY STUART. Yesterday, being the fourth anniversary of the death of the late Lord Dudley Stuart, a meeting of the Polish Historical Society was held at Sussex chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, to commemo rate the loss of Poland's best friend and benefactor. In the absence from London of the President (Colonel Szyrma), the chair was occupied by the Vice-President of the society (Major C. Szulc zewski), who, in the course of an address on the public character and the private - virtues of the departed nobleman, observed :—For the first time since we have met to commemorate the anniversary of the day on which our never to-be-forgotten friend and benefactor, Lord Dudley Stuart, was called away from this world of strife, in which he was always to be found among the ranks of the combatants for justice and liberty. Europe is sunk in a calm so profound that not a political event presents itself to which I can attach the memory of that for which our lost friend lived and worked. And yet, beneath this calm, we know that the great work must still be going on, for the combat between good and evil, whatever may be the form it assumes, can never cease on earth, and God is ever on the side of right, though His ways are not ours, and He often conducts our struggles to issues which we have not foreseen. The noble friend, to do honour to whose memory we have once more assembled, devoted his life to the cause of our be -loved country, struggling to reconquer our national life, the right to speak the language God has planted in our lips, to develop freely the qualities with which He has endowed us, and by which He has marked us as an individual nation, called upon to play our own peculiar part in the great concerted harmony of the world. Upwards of a quarter of a century our generous champion hoped against hope, and at length laid down his life in the cause, just as a new hope (soon, alas! to be extinguished like those that had preceded it) was dawning upon us. Yet the war that failed to achieve the longed-for restoration of Poland so weakened Russia that her power of external aggression being checked for a time, her ruler has been obliged to turn his atten tion to the development of the internal resources of his empire. Finding slavery weighing down all its best powers, he has seen that to break the fetters of the serf is the first work that must be accomplished, and we have every reason to believe that the Emperor Alexander has set about his task in earnest and in sincerity. The Polish Constitution of the 3d May, 1791—that honourable monument of what Poland might have been, had time been allowed her to work it out —the Polish Constitution of May 3, proposed the very measure which, after more than 66 years, the Emperor of Russia is now carrying out, and which is earning for him such well-deserved praise ; and, therefore, whatever our detractors may say, we may be sure that in Poland the emancipation of the serfs has been hailed with heartfelt satisfac tion. But a free peasantry, a free working popula tion of any kind, cannot, in our day, be held long in abject ignorance. The necessities of their posi tion will call for education ; and upon millions thus awakened to the promptings of a higher life, no go vernment will dare to force a language not their own as the medium of the education for which they crave. Emancipation and education in Poland cannot, then, but develop and strengthen the feelings of na tionality, and add many millions more, inspired with an eternal hatred and vengeance against foreign tyranny, to the number of those who are silently working for national emancipation. Thus Providence seems to have brought about by other means than those we have contemplated, an event fraught with the most incalculable consequences to for the cause which the life of Lord Dudley Stuart, like that of the Polish emigrants, had been devoted ; and if the Polish people be wise and persevering, and prepared to profit by the opportunities that will always occur, it may again become great and independent, and worthily fill its place in the family of European nations. Colonel IVlEnct - Nsm, in a forcible speech, dwelt on the gratitude due by the Polish nation to the me mory of the late Lord Dudley Stuart, whose character even the enemies of Poland respected, and whose services he trusted will be duly recognised by an independent Poland. Several other gentlemen having also expressed similar feelings, the meeting separated, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. LEGAL APPOINTMENTS. Saunders of this morning gives currency to ru mours to the effect that the Right Hon. P. Shaw is about to retire. and that he is to be succeeded as Recorder, either by Mr. H. 'Joy, Q.C., one of the candidates for Trinity College at the last election, or by Mr. Lowry, of the North-West Circuit ; and that Mr. Moody retires from the chairmanship of the West Riding of Cork, and that his successor is to be Mr. C. Shaw, a younger brother of the Re corder. THE QUEEN'S COUNTY MURDER. The local correspondent of the Express writes as follows : " It is now certa'n that the murder of 'Mr. Ely did not come by surprise on many persons in the locality, and that, though the act of one man, the villanous intention was no secret. No stronger prosf of the existence of ribandism can be evinced than that occurrences of a similar nature have often been reported in anticipation, as, in the present instance, the discharge of that murderous weapon was known to be for the death of Mr. Ely. It is a strange fact that none of the persons in the em ployment of either of the Messrs. Ely heard the shot, although a watchman on the branch line of the Roscrea and Parsonstown Railway, though sta tioned at some distance, was attracted to the spot, and it was by him, with the assistance of his lamp, that the hat was found, the police being at the time in search of Delany. The watchman was formerly in the constabulary. That Jas, Delany is the mur derer, and that he is still in the district, no one attempts to deny, but there the matter for the pre sent ends. It is a matter of surprise that, though a week has elapsed, the Government have neither offered any reward nor taken any active step to put down with the strong arm of the law a conspi racy that is fast taking deep root in the country. The local magistrates have not been equally in active. Three gentlemen, Messrs. H. White, R. Palmer, and J. Lyster, have formed a provisional committee to raise subscriptions to a reward fund. Large sums are being contributed. Almost all the landed proprietors of the district now carry fire arms, and the position of some who have already been, to use a well-known expression, ' marked men' is very trying. It may be some consolation to them that, when mischief is really i n te n d e d, th e victim, as in the last case, receives no notice, as it is certain that Mr. Ely never had an idea that he had an enemy." REMITTANCES FROM AUSTRALIA. It is said that the last Australian mail, which was delivered in Dublin on Sunday last, contained the almost incredible number of . 1,400 registered money letters transmitted by emigrants to relatives and friends in the old country. Even without this rate in aid, whatever it may amount to, money is just now reported to be tolerably abundant among farmers of the smallest class, notwithstanding the comparatively high standard of agricultural wages this year. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. The following are the latest reports received here from Valentia : " VALENTIA, Nov. 13.—The steam-tug Robert Bruce arrived here on the 9th inst., at about 10 a.m. The day was beautifully fine, but nothing was done tote cable. The Stag has been here since the 26th ult., and finer weather could not be than has prevailed since that time. Since the 10th instant the wind has been freshening, and weather vanishea wfhoirchujastedut three c-ourwabeelke weeks has calm pre sent.ftho rata ab o ut mosto Without attributing to the parties concerned any blame save for want of judgment it is ob vious to all observ ers h ere that much more could be done. Nov. 12.—1 t is now blowing a stiff breeze at S.E., which would render it rather difficult to pur sue underrunning the cable, although last year, when Sir B. Bright was here, scores of miles of the first cable were underrun in at least as rough wea ther. It is as gratifying as it is true that two or three miles of the cable (Agamemnon's) underrun from the Lough Kay entrance of the harbour appear to the eye perfectly sound. From some cause or other the Agamemnon, when near the Blasqucts and approaching Valentia, paid out too much 'slack,' which would tend to form coils, and hence perhaps ' kinks,' and a fault or faults in the cable there abouts would be probable. It is to be regretted that the cable has not been for some 15 or 18 miles un derrun and tested (when it was so feasible as lately) and the vexata qnestio so far determined. Possibly, when the weather permits, more energetic measures will be pursued. No director or person with execu tive authority (excepting those mentioned in my last) has been hereon the part of the company since the 'shore end' was sent from England. Messages (if any) that might be coming from America must remain unnoticed, as the Atlantic office is closed up and the staff disbanded. Up to a certain point it is, perhaps, not wonderful to expect that personswhen left to their own resources in such an important work, should act with over-caution. The attempt to resuscitate a work of such world-wide import ance and interest would, however, demand the ut most energy and perseverance, and sympathy fo r the spirited shareholders warrants the anxiety of the public when they consider that favourable opportunities Are not availed of."
