DEATH OF A CHILD FROM NEGLECT.—Last evening an inquest was held at the Jacob's Well, kept bg Mr. Betts, in Milton-street, City, on the body of a child named Dempsey, aged six months, whose death was alleged to have been caused by neglect. It appeared that the parents of the child (residing in Phillips-court, Milton street) led a most unhappy life, and that the mother had left her borne in consequence of ill treatment by her hus band. In leaving her home the mother left her child, and the consequence was that the child received no milk. The evidence went to show that the mother had been subjected to gross usage by her husband, and that she had been prevented from g i v ing that sustenance so n ecessary t o the nourishment of a child. The medical evidence was to the effect that teething might have caused the death of the child. The learned C oron er, in s umming up, said it - vas t o b e de plored that dissensions between man and wife should exist. It was clear that if the woman had appealed to the police, or even her neighbours, she might have had the child to nurture, but she had not taken these steps, and her conduct had been culpable in the highest degree. The foreman of the jury, in giving the verdict—to the effect that the child died from convulsions, brought on by the causes assigned by the medical gentleman—conceived that the mother de served severe censure, and that the father had acted most cruelly. The Coroner remarked that it was lucky the jury had returned such a verdict. He had to remark that the fact of a man, his wife, and mother-in-law sleeping in the same room was gross immorality, inevitably leading to crime. The mother then retired. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mile premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £ sterling. On co m paring these rates with the English mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £ sterling. Standard gold at the English mint price is, therefore, about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days' sight is 1081 per cent., which, when compar e d w ith the mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is against Englanc: ; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold be tween the two countries. MAILS FOR SMYRNA, CONSTANTINOPLE, T.REB/.. ZONDE, &C., BY FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN PACKETS.— In consequence of an alteration which has been made in the arrangements of the French Mediterranean packet service, mails for Smyrna, the Dardanelles, Constantinople, and Trebizonde, intended to be forwarded by the French packets from Marseilles, will be made up in London, in rature on the evening of eve Thursdaonl The every f hitherto been des rY patched fro m London on every alte mate Friday evening will no longer be sent.—By com mand of the Postmaster-General, RewLAND HILL, Score tal7'"—General Post-office, Oct, 25.

This morning the Royal Commissioners appointed to in (*re into the circumstances relative to the election of 13ersick-upon-Twe2d, assembled in Committee Room No. 11. The first witness examined was Mary A.l'Denald—She said she recollected the election at which Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Majoribanks were candidates. Since the election she had become the wife of John M'Donald. On polling day she was engaged in attending customers at the Woolpack Inn, Berwick, which was kept by her father. She recol lected a room to which there was an entrance from the yard. She saw Joshua Patterson in the yard several times. She on the same day saw Mr. Gall in the yard about 12 o'clock. She also saw M'Gall talking to a person named Waite. She supposed it was about the state of the poll, because they had papers with figures upon it. About one o'clock she saw M'Gall in the cellar. Ther e were chairs there. The witness was then examined at great length with respect to the positions occupied by several parties while they were in the cellar, and as to the number of persons who entered the cellar after one o'clock. She could not say whether they wont in singly or in a body, She could not say whether the door was closed when they went in. About two o'clock she saw Waite there. Did not have any conversation with any of the parties. I did not hear that tho people were in the cellar or in the house for the purpose of receiving bribes, She did not hear that M'Gall had been bribing the voters. She could not say whether she heard that M'Gall had been bribing in the house after the poll closed. It was stated in the parlour some days after the election that M'Gall had bribed seve ral persons. She was well acquainted with several freemen of Berwick. Some of the persons, whose names she could not mention, were freemen. There were a great many freemen at the Woolpack on the day of the election. She might h 97 ,0 changed some gold, or £1 notes, on that day, but cou'A no t now recollect. She was g s nersk paid in silver for the that a t 1 he refreshments supplied, She saw M'Gall et 'her father's house y p e a r s long t e ll t e g beforeheraf after re the election. o e o n :.K t regular customer at the Woolpack. She did not recollect e was had no g t o a t money for his vote. had heard that some persons had received bribes, Miller was one of the names mentioned. She knew Robert l'Queen and John M'Queen were there the day mentioned, the latter of whom was in the kitchen of the Woolpack. From the many times she had occasion , to go to the cellar on the day of the election, she believed that M'Gall was in there from about twelve to three. Mr. Alexander Brodie said he was a military traveller for Messrs, Culter and Son, outfitters, Hanover -street. Previous to entering that service he was sergeant saddler to the Ist Dragoons. He was dismissed the service for pre venting a duel at Canterbury. After dismissal he came to. London, and was engaged as foreman of the saddlery at the War Department, Weedon. He ocoupied that position about two years, but he was dismissed from that post because he had shown up the abuses that existed in that establish ment. He was examined before the Weedon Commis sion. He was not aware that the Commissioners had placed very little reliance on his evidenee. He had seen the report of the inquiry, and was thoroughly dis gusted with it. Mr. Selfe had expressed himself highly with respect to his conduet. After dismissal, he thought he was ill -used, and he exerted himself with influential persons to get his wrongs redressed. It was very shortly after dismissal he eaw Mr. Disraeli. He had an interview with that gentleman about his wrongs. It was about three months before he came into power. He saw him more than once before the change of Government. The only object he had in view was the redress of his wrongs. Mr. Disraeli seemed to compassionate his (wit ness's) situation, and promised he would have an inquiry into it when he got into power. Witness ilaw Mr. Disraeli more than a dozen times, relative to his ill-treatment. Ge nerally saw him at his own house. Had met him in the street. He thought that from what Mr. Disraeli seemed disposed to do he should receive some compensation, or a Government appointment, He was in the habit of attend ing in the lobby of the House of Commons to see the mem bers about his wrongs. On the 14th of April, 1859, he saw Mr. Disraeli in the lobby of the house. It was in the even ing, but he could not recollect the hour. .To the best of his belief it was about eight o'clock. He had not previous to that seen Mr. Nicoll. He did not know he was in the ceatral hall. Mr. Disraeli, when he came out of the house, turned to the left and went to the library. He saw him (witness) and said " Ah ! Brodie, what are you doing ?" He told him he was waiting to see Sergeant Gossett. He (witness) followed Mr. Disraeli to the lobby. He told him to follow him. He was about two yards from the door when Mr. Disraeli spoke to him. He followed Mr. Disraeli to a little room on the left, just by the side of the library. He remained with Mr. Disraeli about a quarter of an hour. We talked together as we went down the lobby, but it was not on the subject of his (witness's) wrongs. We talked about Berwick, and he then told him that he (witness) had some friends there. Mr. Disraeli said Mr. Earle was going there. We had no other conversation on that occasion. My uncle and cousin, whose names are Brodie, reside there. They are publicans and small farmers. Previous to the election he (witness) had been to Berwick on business. He could not say his relatives were voters for Berwick. He had a great many friends in Berwickshire. The uncle and cousins he had spoken of reside in the town of Berwick, but he had a great many friends who resided out of the town who had votes—not for the town, but for the shire. He had no reason at that time to look upon Mr. Disraeli as his friend'. His sen timents changed about a month previous. He (witness) fancied that his claims had not been attended to. The circumstance that had produced the change was that, hav ing left his papers at the Chancellor's office for examina tion, he had them returned without having been opened. Mr. Disraeli asked him if he could be of use to Mr.. Erle at Berwick, and he said he would see what he could do. He told him he had relatives at Berwick, merely because he thought it would be of use to the Conservative party. Cer tainly no other reason. He supposed their votes and influence would be of use to the Conservative party. He remembered that he had just stated that his sentiments towards Mr. Disraeli had changed. He had teen the memorandum just put into his hand. It was given to him by Mr. Disraeli. [lt was merely an envelope with Mr. Rose's name and ad dress on it.] It did not contain a letter when he (witness) received it. Mr. Disraeli gave him the envelope in the little room just referred to, or by the door, he could not be certain which. Mr. Disraeli told me to go and give it to Mr. Rose, he would know it was his handwriting, and that would be quite enough. lie said Mr. Rose would give me money to go and get votes. Chairman—Where ? Witness—At Berwick-upon-Tweed or Frome. Chairman—You say Mr. Disraeli used those words? Witness—Yes. He said it would put £5O in my pocket, as he wanted to give me a turn. Chairman—Htid you requested a memorandum, similar to the one produced, to be given to you; or was it Mr. Disraeli's spontaneous act ? Witnes—l can't be sure about that. I have told as near as I could recollect all I knew about Berwick. I don't re collect that there was sometlin,g said about my being em ployed as an election agent or canvasser of electors. I will swear Mr. Disraeli di:a not say so when he gave me the envelope to take to Mr. Rose ; all he said was, that I was to get votes. Chairman—Did you tell Mr. Disraeli you knew who would take bribes at Frome and Berwick P Witness—Not at Berwick. Chairman—Did you tell who would at Frome Witness—l said I thought I could find out who would at Florae. lor. I cannot answer all these questions without looking at my notes. I may say something that ty commit my self. I have only one desire, and that is ti) tell the truth. [The Chairman directed witness to answer without refer ence to his papers.] After the interview I t old Mr. Disraeli what Mr. Rose had said, and hg:: replied it was quite right, tax. , cautious. I must have P'een. Mr. Disraeli sometime k:,itirt I cannot say positively 'when. I saw Mr. Rose &out a day after I saw Mr. Disraeli at his residence in Vi l fr oria-street. I told him I had seen Mr. Disraeli, and he / - ..ad told me he would explaill to him (Mr. Rose) that - I was in his confi dence. lir. Rose told me Mr. Disraeii had spoken to him aka me, and that if I came the leit day he would get Me a place ready, as he thought F ,erwiek-upon-Tweed and Frome safe. This conversation took place when I had the second interview with M r . R r ese. Mr. Rose, on the occa sion referred to, said he d'Al, not know that I was in the Chancellor's confidence; I. went to see Mr. Rose the next day. He told me corns, every lay until he had got a place ready for mr,. I did so. I did not get any place. I did not get any money. Mr. Rose never told me how it was I did not get either place or money. I was in the employ of Moser!,. Cutler at this time, and I was enabled to inalv:: these repeated ells at Mr. Rose's, owing to having business to transact at Westmjnster. I was constantly passing up and dawn Victoria-street. It was not a part of my employment to cr.ll at Mr. Rose's. I abstracted the time from them for 'the parpose of furthering the ends of justice. If I had received the appointment to go to either Frome or Berwicl, I should have had leave to go from the Messrs. Cutler, At the ceuclnsion of this witnesses examination, the committee adjourned. LAW iNTELLIGENCII-(THIS DAY). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN Itit HILLS. These bankrupts are described as of Blandford, bankers. The case has been fully reported, and to-day judgment was to have been delivered by Mr. Comaissioner Fon blanque, but in consequence of the illness of that learned gentleman the case was adjourned. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulborrn.) IN RE SHARPE. This bankrupt was described as an underwriter. The debts and liabilities are rather large—described in the accounts as £28,000, and the amount realised is stated at £l,OOO. The examination is likely to last for a considerable time. THE - .RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST, GEORGE S-IN-THE-EAST. MR. ROSIER'S APPEAL (THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Bodkin, the Assistant• Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates at Westminster.) MR. ROSIER (APPELLANT) V. G. P. ELLIOTT, ESQ., A METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE (RESPONDENT). This case, which has excited great attention, involving as it does important principles both of law and fact, came before the court this morning, sitting at the Guildhall, Westminster, a large number of the leading parishioners being present. Mr. Poland appeared for the appellant. The respondent was represented by Mr. Metcalfe, who, on the outset, ob jected to proceeding with the case on the ground that, under the Act, the case ought to have been tried during the last sessions. He objected also that the notices were in formal and fatal to the case. Mr. Bodkin, on lo•king to the act of parliament, said he could not entertain the objection, and must overrule them. The case was then proceeded with, the facts being as fol lows :—On the 19th of July last Mr. Rosier was charged before Mr. Elliott, who was then sitting temporarily at the Thames Police-court, on a summons taken out by the Rev. T. D. Dove, of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, assistant curate of the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, charging him with having, on the previous Sunday, in the parish church, and during the celebration of Divine service, male a disturbance. The summons expressed that the defendant " did unlawfully molest, let, disturb, vex, and trouble the said Thos. Dove Dove, a clergyman, in holy orders, minis tering in the parish, church of St. George during the cele bration of Divine service." The summons was issued under the 2d clause of the now act, 23 and 21 Vic., cap. 32, which imposes a penalty, not exceeding. £5, or imprisonment with out the option of paying a fine, not exceeding two months. The evidence went to show that Rosier, who was foreman to a clothier and pawnbroker, carrying on business in St. George-street, better known as Ratcliffe Highway, was put forward by a party in St. George's parish in opposition to the rector (the Rev. Bryan King) and his church services. He occupied a pew near the reading-desk, and said the re sponses very loudly, so loudly, indeed, that Mr. Church warden Thompson went to him and requested him not to make so much noise, when he turned round and sharply exclaimed, " Don't interrupt me, sir," and continued his loud reading. Tho churchwarden then called in the police and had Mr. Rosier removed. In the course of his judg ment on the ease Mr. Elliott referred at some length to the act which had been passed only 16 days previously, and said he was of opinion that every rector or incumbent of a church or chapel had a right to prescribe the mode of cele brating Divine service, and whether it should be a church seiNiee or otherwise. If a clergyman thought fit to order that tfte response should be sung, and people read the responsesin a loud voice in order to prevent the saying of them as directed by the minister, that was an offence within the meaning of the act. It was of opinion that the defendants and others by reading the responses loudly wished to prevent the saying of them, and did in adopting that course, disturb, vex, and trouble the minister. lie therefore lined the defendant £3, and against this decision Mr. Rosier gave notice of appeal—a right of appeal given by the act to the general or quarter sessions, on due notice to that effect being given. Mr. Poland said he had.to submit to the Court that Mr. Elliott's conviction was informal, and void at law on the face of it. Tha conviction failed to state that the offenee charged wi.3 contrary to the statute made and provided. Another objection he had to urge, but it did not state when the fine of £3 should, be paid. For anything to the contrary stated in the act the penalty might be paid in 20 years. Mr. Elliott sentenced Rosier to a pecuniary fine (AD, and in default of payment to 14 days' imprison ment in the House of Correction. The imprisonment he held could not be inflicted, no time having been mentioned for,the payment of the penalty. Another objection he had to urge was, that under the act no power was given to a magistrate to send a person to prison in default of his pay ing a pecuniary fine. Upon these grounds he urged that the conviction was bad and ought to be quashed. Mr. Metcalfe argued that the points urged were of no legal importance, and that it ought to be inferred that the magistrate only gave the persons convicted a reasonable time for payment. The statute did not fix the time, and the magistrate did not therefore state the time in the con viction. The magistrate was the judge of what was rea sonable time, and he clearly had the power to carry out the sentence. Chairman—Then you did not tell who would take bribes P Witness—No. It was merely a passing conversation. Chairman—The words about going to Mr. Rose and getting the money, wore they used at the door of the little room ? Witness—Yes. Chairman—And the envelope was given to you while you were in the room ? Mr. Bodkin said he had a strong opinion that there was some force in the last objection. Mr. Metcalfe said the objection had come upon him by surprise, and expressed a hope that the case might be ad journed in order that he might look into the matter. After some further conversation, the conviction was quashed, the Assistant-Judge remarking that he hoped such a case would not occur again. The proceedings then terminated. Witness—Yes. Chairman—Did he know that you were in the employ of the Messrs. Cutler ? Witness —Yes . Chairman—You left Mr. Nicoll's service; in which you had previously been on good terms ? Witness—Yes ; quite so. Chairman—You gave the envelope to Mr. Nicoll imme diately after you left Mr. Disraeli ? Witness—Yes. Chairman—Did you present yourself to Mr. Rose the next morning ? Witness—Yes ; I went about the middle of the day. The Chairman hero observed the witness was referring to some papers, and desired him to close them. Witness—l should like to refer to these notes, or I may make some mistake. Chairman—You must answer the questions withon doing so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TI1I8 DAT.) Witness—Vary well. I went to Mr. Rose's. I had seen that gentleman repeatedly at the chambers. Whilo I was at Mr. llose's I saw Sir William Jolliffe. Mr. Whitmore then shook hands with me. Chairman—What, on Friday the 15th ? 'Witness—l'll not swear to the date. I will swear I saw several of the clerks on the day I went after I got the enve• lope from Mr. Disraeli. I went upstairs. I now think I went on the Saturday also. I can't say whether I went more than once that day. I saw Mr. Rose on that occasion. I saw Mr. Rose in the private room. I told Mr. Rosethat I was in the Chancellor's confidence, and he told me to come and get money of him to go to Berwick-upon-Tweed and Frome. Mr. Rose said he must see the Chancellor about it, and directed me to come to-morrow. I said to morrow would be Sunday, and he then said I mean Mon- day. Nothing further took place between us on that occasion. I did not tell Mr. Rose I had received an envelope of memorandum from Mr. Disraeli. I had had conversation with Mr. Rose once before in Down ing •street. I mean I once asked him if Mr. Erle was in, and on the other occasions I have wished him good morn ing. As far as I know he did not know my name. I had never told him. I went to Mr. Rose's on the Monday. told him the money I was to receive from him was to get votes. I told him so the first conversation I had with him. He said he would do nothing till he had seen the chancel- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LADIES SHOPPING—A PERSEVERING PlcKrocKEL—Elizabeth Willis, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with attempting to pick the pockets of about 50 ladies in Oxford-street the previous afternoon. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner in Oxford-street between Berwick-street and ardour-street, walking close to a lady with her hand down by the lady's dress. Suspecting her he watched her and saw her walk up to Montanari's wax doll shop in Charles-street, where having watched her a short time, he saw her put her left hand into the pocket of a lady, who had at the time a child in her arms. He spoke to the lady, but finding she had lost nothing, kept his eye on the prisoner and saw her walk to Flint's, the silk mercers, near Wells-street, where having looked about as if looking for somebody, she placed herself between two ladies and put her left hand into one of their pockets. He then saw her try at least 50 other pockets, being perseveringly engaged for above an hour. He then crossed over the road, and saw her try the pocket of a lady named Blackburn, residing at Camberwell, but who lost nothing ; and afterwards that of a lady of colour, but in consequence of the latter not speak ing English I could net ascertain whether she lost anything. He then took the prisoner into custody, telling her he was an officer and what he charged her. She said it was a mis take, but on the way to the station said, " You had better have waited till you had a case, and had me to rights. You must have wanted a case very bad." At first she gave her address in Oxford-street, but afterwards refused it. James Stephens, 112 C, having proved seeing the Ft" Boner on Wednesday afternoon last attempt to pick several ladies' pockets outside Messrs. Flint's warehouse, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt about the case, and committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. THE LATE MR. EDMUND GLOVER.--The remains of Mr. Edmund Glover, of the Theatre R o y a l , Glasgow, were consigned to their last resting-place in Sighthill Cemetery on Monday. The rain fell very heavily for some hours before and after the funeral, b u t notwithstanding the unfavourable weath3r, a large nu mber of gentlemen were present to show their respect for the deceased. The pro cession, which consisted of twenty-three carriages, pro ceeded from the residence of Mr. Glover's family in Great Clyde-street, along Buchanan-street and George - street, to the cemetery. The Rev. Mr.. Oldham, of St. Mary's, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Cole, of Greenock, read the funeral ser vice. THE GOVERNMEN'T Or ST. DOMINGO.—Messrs. T. and W.

ELECTION INT_E'LLIGENCE. SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. In consequence of the demise of Earl Manvers and the elevation of his son,Viscount Newark, to the Upper House, a vacancy has occurred in the representation of the South 'Division of Nottinghamshire. Lord Stanhope, son of the Earl of Chesterfield, is to be brought forward as a candidate to fill up the vacancy. BOSTON, TUESDAY EVENING. The polling commenced this morning at 8 o'clock, and in the course of the first hour the Conservative candidate, Mr. Malcolm, obtained a decisive majority, of which the utmost exertions of his opponents failed afterwards to deprive him. This result is probably to be partially attributed to the divided state of the Liberal interest ix the first instance; but more to the zeal with which the Conservatives entered into the contest. Most of the public vehicles seemed to have been engaged for the Malcolm party, and no expense appeared to have been spared by them to effect the return of their candidate. The state of the poll was announced hourly on both sides, and there was no material variation in the figures published, although the Liberals made the number of votes polled for each candidate higher than their opponents. The returns are appended : CONSERVATIVE STATEMENT. alcolm. 21.5 333 424 467 482 Tuxford. 9 o'clock .. 168 .. 230 .. 278 .. 290 295 .. 300 313 .. 2 „ .. .. 500 3 ) 9 • • • . 511 4 „ (official) .. 533 ..

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London, which had been in the previous week 1,116, fell to 1,026 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average for correspond ing weeks in the 10 years 1850-9, after correction for increase of population, is found to be 1,141, and therefore the number in the present return is less by 115 than that which would have been recorded if the average rate of mortality towards the end of October had prevailed. Fluctuations in the public health, as indicated by the mortality, are marked chiefly by the increase and decrease of deaths from zymotic diseases, and from diseases of the respiratory organs, which latter become more prevalent as the winter ap proaches. From zymotic diseases in the aggregate the deaths last week were 269, while the corrected average is 306 ; from pulmonary diseases the deaths were 190, the corrected average being 183. A hundred persons died of phthisis (consumption), which stands in the tubercular order f tiseases and this number is less than that obtaioned by cal culation by 42. Among zymotic diseases , smallp . ox still shows a low mortality ; the deaths from it wer.e and 13 not more than 6. There were 54 from scarlatina, from diphtheria. Twelve fatal cases of scarlatina diphtheria 5 of o c curred in Islington, e distict. w hooping-cough in the sa2nhotfe r One infant died of ct yma, another pem phigus gangrenosus, a third of hernia cerebri, and a fourth of purulent o phthalmi. The daughter a ged three years, died from her of a gardener, two children from scalds, and clothes taking_finrue, from burns. A charwoman a young w°"'" was suffocated when in a state of intoxication. Of four nonogenarians the oldest was a Woman w h o ha d a ttained t he age of 97 years. Last wee k the births of 994 boys and 955 g i r l s , i n all 1,949 children , we r e registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850- 59 the average number was 1,595. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean h e ight of the barometer in the week was 29.911 in. The readings fell from 30 . 10 in. on Sunday, the 21st, to 29.79 in. on Friday. The !mean tempera ture of the air in the week was 53 . 2 deg., which is 5.2 deg. above the average in the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day except Sunday, and on the last five days the amount of that excess was from 6 deg. to 9 deg. On Sunday the thermometer fell to 39 deg., the lowest point in the week, and on Thursday it rose to 64 deg., its highest point. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 25 deg. The mean daily range was 13.3 deg. On Monday the thermometer in the sun rose to 102 deg., and that on grass fell to 32 . 6 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 2.1 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 80, complete saturation being represented by 100. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 50 . 6 deg. The wind blew almost constantly from the south-west. The quantity of rain that fell was only the 700th part of an inch, THE BRITISH VOL UN I EERS IN ITALY. The following letter dated Capua, Oct. 20, and describing the first engagement of our countrymen with the Bourbon troops, is from the Liverpool Daily 7imes of this day. After a voyage which has not been marked by many incidents calling fur particular note, we have at leng,th arrived in front of the enemy, and been actually engaged. I may, however, state in lintine, that our voyage to Naples occupied 16days, and that our reception there was of the most enthusiastic description. The National Guard turned out and escorted us through the city, and the inhabitants lined the streets and made the air ring with their shouts of " Viva l'lnglessa." Thence we proceeded by railway to Caserta, on Monday last, Garibaldi's headquarters, and found comfortable lodging in the magnificent palace of the King of Sicily, which has been turned into a barracks pro tow. On the following morn ing the assembly was sounded at four o'clock, and before daybreak we were on our way to Santa Maria, a town about three miles from the front. We remained there during Wednesday and Thursday, and yesterday morning we rewived the exciting command to march in heavy order to the front. The news was received with great enthusiasm by every man, as all were anxious to bear a part in the struggle. On arriving about half a mile from the front outposts the battalion was parted, the r i g h t wing taking up a position to the right in the enclosure of an ex tensive farm- h orse, while the left wing occupied another farmhouse in the opposite direction. The right wing comprises the followi ng companies :-•-• .Grenadiers (London), Ist Company (L on d on and Scottish), 2d Company (London and S cott i sh), 3d Company (London), 4th (Birmingham, s th (Lon don and Scottish), and 6th ( London ). The left wing comprises the 7th (Scottish), Bth (Londo n ), 9th (Liverpool aid Manchester), and the li g h t company, which is made up of Englishmen and Scotchmen. The light company were the first ordered to advance in skirmishing order, and they were followed by the 2d and 4th. Those three companies took up a position against the trees with which the ground between ta. opposing forces is studded, and commenced a brisk fire on the enemy. The Neapolitans returned the fire with considerable precision, so that, notwithstanding the shelter, one man of the 4th Company was killed, and another severely wounded in the groin. One of the light company was also slightly wounded in the leg. Shortly after the fire commenced, the 7th was ordered to the front, and before long one man., named Mitchell, was carried past dead ; and ano ther, named Clarke, mortally wounded in the head. The other companies, with the exception of the G re-. nadiers, Bth and 9th, were actively engaged, and the casualties, I believe, amount altogether to five killed and seven wounded. This number in cludes three Sardinians and a Mr. Tucker, who is stated to be a correspondent of the Illustrated London News and Illustrated Times. He was shot in the centre of the fore head while inspecting his countrymen at work. The wounded are—privates, John Clark, severely, not likely to recover ; Macarthy, severely; George Ripon Prosser ; Alfred S. Bates, severely ; James Mathew, and Corporal George Charles Bennett, slightly. As you are more particularly interested in the 9th, I may add that, although not actively engaged, we were kept in reserve, and were under arms for twenty-four hours. An incident also happened to us which might have been attended wits disastrous consequences. An aide-de-cani.p of Colonel Peard came in haste to our captain (Hamp ton) yesterday, about noon, and ordered us to take up a certain position in front. The Bth and 9th were on the march in five minutes, and after tumbling over sundry ditches we crossed the hedge which afforded shelter to the Sardinian sharp shooters, and advanced to the open plain directly before the masked battery of the Neapolitans. We were gallantly led on by Captain Hampton, march ing as coolly as if on parade, when the aide-de-camp remarked that he thought he must have been mis taken, and we were commanded to retire. There upon we took shelter in an adjoining ditch. Some shells were thrown at us as we retired, but happily all of them burst several yards from us. We re turned to the lines unscathed, more, however, through good luck than good management, as the aide-de-camp evidently missed his way. The Sar dinians were astonished at our escapade, and an • intelligent officer informed us last night that had the Neapolitans observed us in all likelihood we would all have been blown to atoms. The light company also distinguished itself by making a brilliant charge. A party of Neapolitans advanced from their lines down the hill for the apparent pur pose of reconnoitring. The " light" were not satis fied with standing behind trees and firing almost at random. As the Neapolitans advanced, therefore, they ran at them, still in skirmishing order, and we could distinctly hear a true British cheer ringing through the air. No sooner did the enemy sight the red coats than they turned tail and ran pen men to their fort. Competent authorities say it is almost unprecedented to charge in skirmishing order without the support of artillery. This morning an order came down from Gari baldi, stating that we must not be sent out again to skirmish, as we are proclaimed to be too rash, and men cannot well be spared. To-day we are resting ourselves, and rumour has it that we march somewhere in the evening. The Sardinian soldiers fraternise with us most heartily. They are splendid fellows, and would part with everything to do us a service. 211118 DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Oct. 31.—Wind this day at noon—North; moderate breeze, ana fino weather.

None of the fishermen here ever saw the like of it. Its length was 27i feet ; thickness, 16 feet; from its nose to the last gill, 7 feet; its mouth w hen °pep, 0 inches across; the foremost fins, sft. 3in. ; a nd the tail, from point to point, 7 feet. The liver yielded 1651 gallons of oil, and was sold for £l6 100. The whole y bod could not have been less than six tons. It was caught hy aaix-oared boat, and the men bad great difficulty in g etting it ashore. Instead of landing at 6 o'clock in the morning, it was seven at night before they got to the s hore, and had they not been assisted by two other boats' c rews, they would not have managed it in two days. When caught it seemed to have taken a mouthful of herring s, and t h en rolled itself in the net. When the men began to haul in the nets, which wero new, they found them twisted with the ropes five times round. It died in a very short time, or the men would have run a very hard ch ance for their lives. —Orkney Herald.
