Mr. S. Lowell Price was appointed li quidator. The chairman, in a speech of some . len gth, explained the position of the company, and ita relation to the Imperial Land Company of Mar seilles and the Credit Foncier of England. He eon culled in the prayer of the petition for the removal °l t he present liquidators of the Imperial Land `° r nPany of Marseilles, and characterised the pro eedings of those gentlemen in making a call of £1 Per share as a breach of a solemn engagement and 'entract to which they were parties. ~A t a meeting of the creditors of the Imperial ° Ted Company of Marseilles, under the presidency Mr. P.

The flames were first discovered by one of the vat men, by seeing an unusual glare of light in the brewery, a building about 60 feet long and 20 feet broad. The men at once raised an alarm in the usual way, but long before assist ance could arrive the flames took a rapid sweep round the ground floor, seizing upon casks and barrels, some filled with ales and beer, and some were empty. Plenty of water having been pro cured, the firemen went to work in an admirable manner, but in spite of their exertions the confla gration could not be subdued until the whole of the brewery, the valuable plant, and the stock in trade were destroyed; and the adjoining public-house, the Phoenix, was severely damaged by fire, water, &c. The tnigiu of the fire is unknown. Mr. Un derhill was insured in the Norwich Union and Royal Fire-offices, but Mr. Marri At, the proprietor of the public-house, was uninsured. OPENING OF MICHAELMAS TERM. This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, according to time-honoured custom the learned judges, sergeants, and Queen's counsel were re ceived in state by the Lord Chancellor, after which their lordships proceeded to Westminster Hall and commenced the business of the term. There was a very large assemblage of persons in the hall, and the respective courts were thronged throughout the day. IL4NI OF FRANCE. rams, Oct. 28.

LADVERTISEMENT. 1-1 - lolloway's Ointment and Pills. — Saltily combined witti efficiency are the marked charac teristics of Ilolloway's admirable remedies, which require for their mope- use little leateing, for their favourable results little faith and moderate perseverance. Glandular swellings in the throat, neura,gitt, tiedoloreux, gout, rheumatism, lumbago, and other diseases affecting the glands, muscles, and nerves of sensation aro permanently eradicated by this healing antifebrile and soothing pre paration. It is also a perfect remedy for all skin diseases and every kind of superficial inflammation, which soon lose their angry and painful character under thfis invalu able ointment. The pills have never been adminiStered, either by hospital or private practitioners, in dyspepsia or liver complaints, without producing the desired result. r.nE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1869.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Walei, according to previous arrangements, visited Scarborough from London on Monday evening, arriving shortly after seven p.m. The Prince's object in visiting the "Queen of Watering Places" is to have a few days' sheeting in Londesborough Park, the seat of Lord Londesborough. This park is one of the most extensive and picturesque in the kingdom, and the quantity of game on the estate, which is strictly pre served, is immense. The Prince, during his stay in the district, will be the guest of Lord Londesborough, at whose mansion in Scarborough, known as Londesborough Lodge, he will reside. On leaving the station, where he was mot by his Lost and the local authorities, the Prince and suite passed through Westborough, Newborough, St. Nicholas street, Harcourt-place, and the Crescent, to the Lodge, amidst the cheers of an immense crowd of spectators. On arriving at the Westborough Station his Royal Highness was presented with an address from the Mayor and Corporation, and, en route for Londesborough Lodge, ho passed under several triumphal arches. Most of the tradesmen and hotel-keepers brilliantly illuminated their premises, and the hole town was en pleine fife, though the visit of the Prince was of a private character. Mr. G. Reeves Smith, the manager of the Spa, gave a mag nificent display of fireworks on the Cliff Bridge, which lit up the picturesque scenery around it, and being directly opposite Londesborough Lodge, the brilliant scene could be witnessed with ease by the royal party. At the express desire of his Royal High ness, the chief vocalist at a concert to be held will be Mdlle. Christine Nilsson, the popular Swedish prima donna. During his stay in Yorkshire the Prince will, according to promise, hunt once or twice with the local hounds. should the weather be favourable for the sport.

April and Oct . a.... 1 .0 111 112 THE FOUNDER OF A COLONY. The Melbourne Argus of September 11 announces the death, on the 4th of September, of the Hon, John Pascoe Fawkner, the founder of Victoria, at the age of 77 years. John Pascoe Fawkner was bean in London on the 20th of August, 1792. When, in 1803, an expedition sailed frcm England under the auspices of the then Colonial Secretary, Lord Hobart, to found a new penal settlement on the shores of the recently discovered Port Phillip, Fawkner was one of those who were allowed to sail in the Calcutta, a 56-gun man-of-war, which conveyed the con victs and their guards to these comparatively unknown shores. Port Phillip was reached en the 10th of October, 1803. Soon afterwards the boy Fawkner was landed on the site of Melbourne, in the future history of which he was destined to play no inconsiderable part. The country was soon condemned as barren and desolate, and in a few months was abandoned, and convicts, soldiers, and Government officers made their way to Van Diemen's Land. At twenty-two he indiscreetly, and to his lasting regret, mixed himself up in a plot for the escape of some prisoners, and the consequent agitation led him to go to Sydney for two years. Tho year 1818 found him once more in Van Diemen's Land, where he married. In those primitive days there was nn utter lack of the forensic element, and, in place of barristers or attorneys, agents " were allowed to plead in the lower courts. Fawk nor figured prominently among the advocates of the Laun ceston court. DiszatiLfied with his progress, however, he made fresh ventures. In 1826 ho tinned publican, and, in 1829, launched into &stereo a weekly newspaper, the Launceston Advertiser, the fiat itilithed in that town. On the 30th of August Fawknei embarked for Port Philip, resolved en new adventures. The advan tages of the site chosen ty the Fawkner party were so obvious that Pittman, who preceded it, removed frcm the Indented Head to what was known as Batman's-hill. Thus it was that the visit of the Enterprise led to the formation of the city of Mel bourne. Though not the first to land, Fawkner was the promoter of the expedition, the selection of the site was made according to his instructions, and he was after wards the most active agent in establishing the settle ment. The town was established, but, between Fawkner's party and Batesnan's there raged a deadly feud. The latter, having the support of a powerful association, compelled Fawkner to retire for a time to the present site of the populous suburb of Emerald-hill . there he soon had eighty acres under cultivation, but the Government agents, who arrived with power to sell land, coolly ignored all his claims, end turned their horses into his paddock—Governor Bourke, the story runs, assisting in this unjust intrusion. Nothing depressed, however, Fawkner was speedily at work in another direction. He established a sod hut house of accommodation near the narket reserve, hired cut horses to inspecting visitors practised as a bush lawyer, and when land was ultimately offered for sale, ho purchased largely. He earned the title cf the father of the Port Phillip press, for here, as in Launceston, he was the first to publish a newspaper. It was a manuscript journal of four pages, and, after the issue of nine weekly numbers, Fawkner obtained a small parcel of refuse type frcm Launceston and secured the services of a Tasmanian youth of 18; who when about 10 years old had worked for a few months as compositor. Thereupon a printed Advertiser, about twelve inches long, containing four pages of two columns each, was issued. The Sydney Government offi cials—true to the principles which ever guided them when this colony was concerned—entered legal objections to the publishing of the paper under tho existing Newspapers Act ; but Fawkner was not to be dismayed, and, in 1839, he was once more in the field with the legal Port Philip Patriot. Thenceforward his life in the new settlement was one of varied success He bought 800 acres at Pascoevale, and began farming, but ill-fortune drove him to the Insolvent Court. When he emerged from his difficulties he at once converted the Patriot into a daily paper, formed a sheep station, and finally devoted himself to gardening and wine-making. During the period of his own private troubles he still found time to render the State good service. In 1842 he served as one of the market commissioners; and in 1843, 1844, and 1845 he was elected a member of the City Council. In 1850, when the colony of - Victoria was proclaimed, a Legis lative Council w as called into existence, and Fawkner now one of the acknowledged champions of popular rights, was returned as member for the counties of Dalhousie, Anglesea, and Talbot. The discovery of gold, and the consequent rise in the value of property, fortunately placed him in circumstances of moderate in dependence, in which he afterwards remained. Though his name is not connected with the introduction at any important measure, he took an active part in the proceed ings of the Council, and in each step in advance of the times, and each protest against monopoly—such as the Orders in Council—or arbitrary interference with the prosperity of the colony, he was amongst the most ener getic workers. When the present Legislative Council was formed under the new Constitution, Fawkner was returned second on the poll for the Central Province, and hence his title of "honourable." He speedily became a necessary part of the Council, and the absence of the Pre sident would not have been more strange than that of Fawkner's velvet scull-cap and his old-fashioned blue cloak. He watched narrowly all questions which came before the House; he spoke also distinctly and decidedly upon nearly all; and his natural shrewdness and large colonial experience imparted great importance b 3 his advice. Some slight signs are noted of the revival of the cotton trade in neaten. Brazil has, it is said, spent two hundred and eighty millions on her four years' war with Paraguay and lost 150,000 men. The remains of six men and forty.six horses, sup posed to be those of a missing portion of General Fre mont's exploring expedition, twenty years ago, were found recently in the Opal Fork of the Rio Grande. Miss Harriet Martineau, in writing to the, American publishers of her volume of Biographical Sketches, expresses herself as greatly delighted with the tone of the American criticisms on the volume, but at the same time much amused by some of the misconceptions into which some of her critics have fallen. One of the reviewers stated that she began life as a teacher of music, in regard to which she says : " It is an odd voca tion to invent for me, as I have been deaf from childhood. I have never taught anything except through the press." ESTABLISHMENT OF TRA3IWAY OMNIBUSES AT LIVERPOOL.—An unusual stir and excitement prevailed in Liverpool on Monday, in consequence of the inauguration by the Liverpool Tramways Company of their new system of 'buses, which are of enormous size, and built upon the American plan. The Company's Act empowers them tolay down tramways along the great leading roads which radiate from the heart of the town, and they have already completed a portion of their scheme. The omnibuses employed on Monday were ten in number; they are formed of American ash, and each 'bus is about 1G feet long, 7 feet in interior height, and constructed to hold 22 Hs sengers inside and 24 outside. They are neatly and tastefully fitted and finished, and the outside . well pro tected by rails. On Monday there was quite a rush upon the new vehicles, much to the disgust of the old-fashioned omnibus drivers, who, by " nursing" their rivals, did all in their power to worry and annoy them. The public gene rally, however, appeared highly to appreciate the advan • tages which, from increased size, readiness of ingress and egress, comfcrtablo and safe outside seats, and the absence of jarring and jolting, aro afforded by the new system. Each tramway omnibus is drawn by three horses, and ftu rdsl.cd with breaks of gretApp:sm . l49 triroisiasiaikiatitth and ati+ Dzistath, AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS. Considerable progress has been made with ploughing during the week, and in the Southern counties a fair quantity of seed has been well sown. Notwith standing the sudden frost, the seed generally has been got into the ground in good condition, and the change in the weather to a milder atmosphere, accompanied by gentle rains, augurs well for securing a good foundation for the next harvest.. The root crops are flourishing, a marked improvement having lately taken place in their appearance; but we regret to state that the potato disease shows signs of becoming more general, symptoms having manifested themselves in Wiltshire —Magnet. THAMES V. 2'YNE. Though comparatively little has been seen of the per formance of the Tyne men since their arrival at Putney to take part in the race with the Thames men on Fridaynext, the impression they have produced upon those who call themselves knowing in aquatic matters, is such as to make them feel that the chances of victory to the North are by no means small. Seldom, if ever, it is very generally admitted, has a better four put in an appearance between Putney and Mortlake. The names of the Newcastle men are Martin (bow), Taylor, Winship, and Renforth, Wilson being coxswain. The Thames crew will prove worthy and formidable opponents. Sadler pulls bow, and Hammerton is stroke, the other men being Kelley and Messenger, with W. Hammerton as coxswain. Both fours are doing suf ficient daily practice. The start is to be made at two o'clock on Friday. Three steamers have been jointly char tered to accompany the race. The puddlers employed at the various ironworks in Wolverhampton have agreed to accept the rise of 6d. per ton offered to them by their masters, idstcad of an advance of is., which was the rise asked for by the men. It was stated a week or two ago that air Moses Montiflore intended going to lioumania to intercede with Prince Charles on behalf of the Jews, Lis subjects. We learn that Sir Moses Is unable to take so long a journey at his advanced age. We learn from America that Postmaster-General Creswell has opened negotiations with our Post-office De partment for a further reduction of letter postage, that is from 6d., the single rate to which it was reduced in January, 1868, to 3d. Mr. George Melley, the member for the Stafford shire Potteries, mentioned at a local meeting of his consti tuents that the committee appointed to consider the causes and remedy of electoral, corruption has almost unani mously agreed to a report recommending the adoption of tho At a meeting of the Salford Town Council, held on Saturday, it was stated that Mr. Charles Real) had offered, in his own behalf, the sum of £lOO for the arrest and conviction of the men who killed James But us, in Salford, on the 4th of Ott. A reward of 4:311 had previously boon offered by the Government. The Duke of Argyll return d to duty at the India-office on Tuesday la, t. The &nu ward Mai/assumes wo shall probably seen hear something regarding the principles ui 031 which pr, scuts for the Duke of Edinburgh are to be provided, as that little matter is before the Secre tary of State in Couucii. The following telegram was received on Monday at the India Office:—"Cable Ship, 29th Oct., 11.55 p.m. Friday, midnight, cif Gay's Island. First half of ceblo laid and buoyed. Tests perfect. Commenced second half on Monday. Tweed leaves for Bombay immediately. All well." A sad case of poisoning has occurred at Leeds. A young man, named James Chadwick, an apprentice to Messrs. Reinhardt and Sons, chemists and druggists, Brig gate, having been suffering for two or three days from tic doloreux, took a large doze of " Battle's solution of opium" to allay the pain. The result was that ho foil into a deep sleep, which terminated in his death. The Rev: Henry White, the chaplain of the Chapel Royal, Savoy:stated in his sermon on Sunday morn ing that a celebrated German theologian bad reckoned up a thourand volumes which had been published during the present century in opposition to the doctrine of the immor tality of the soul, and 10,000 contaiting vague speculations on the subject. The following general order has been promulgated by the Adjutant-General of the Forces :—" Considerable in convenience having arisen from officers who have applied to retire by the sale of their commissiona soliciting per mission to withdraw such application, the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief desires officers of the army to under stand that for the future except under very special and un foreseen circumstances, the application to retire, once sub mitted, will be acted upon." To-day it may be said that the first results of the Telegraphs Act visible to the public are being accomplished. The United Kingdom Company will close its office in Leeds, and transfer business to the Post Office in that busy Northern town, and the Electric Company will do the same in Leicester. Similar changes will shortly take place in other towns. The United Kingdom Company are pre paring to move in the Post-offices at Bradford, Nottingham, and Chesterfield, and other companies are making like pre parations in many places. In March, 1868, William Deering, a boy of six teen, in the employ of Mr. Cartwright, law stationer, Brownlow-street, London, was sent with a cheque for £lO to get cashed at a bank * in Southampton -street. He got the cash and absconded. Since then he has wandered all over England and Wales in search of employment without success. On Friday even ing he gave himself up to the Liverpool police, and stated what he had done. He is son of a law clerk of Red Lion square, Holborn. He was brought up on Saturday at the Liverpool Police-court and remanded. Mr. G. Melly and Colonel Roden, the members for Stoke-upon-Trent, have been called upon at a meeting of their constituents for an explanation of their alleged com plicity in purchasing the retirement of Mr. Hartwell, the working men's candidate, at the last general election. Both honourable gentlemen denied all personal concern in the transaction, which, it seems, was effected by friends of the Liberal cause in Loudon; but they admitted having repaid the money advanced to defray Mr. Hartwell's expenses. This explanation was deemed so far satisfactory that a vot• of approval was carried almost unanimously.

Shall we let the magic of another word, Coolie,' perpetuate our Degra dation ?" We do not quite understand what the Louisiana man is driving at, but we have before us such an excellent instance of what a word may do that we cannot help think ing with the editor that there sometimes is magic in it. Here is the latest news from Washington, that is, to Oct. 15 :—" A Richmond paper having stated by mistake that Secretary Boutwell had purchased this month $6,000,000 worth of ' bones,' instead of bonds,' the Secretary this morning received a letter asking in good faith what was being paid for bones in bulk, as he had a large amount on hand." Mr. Gibbs, the resident European agent of the United States Treasury, has collected and arranged at his official bureau, No. 60, Rue Neuvo, St. Augustin, Paris, the laws of the United States and of all the separate States of the Union, together with a large collection of elemen tary American law books, all of which he places at the free disposal of his countrymen who may have occasion to consult them. Such a collection for,reference has always been needed in Europe. We believe this is the most complete collection of American statutes and elementary works on this side the Atlantic.

PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251. 15c. per £1 sterling; On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17,3.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in .Paris than in London. THE ANCIENT INHABITANTS OF UTAH.—Pro fessor Scott, of Kentucky, has for some time past been conducting- explorations in Utah. His labours have been rewarded by the discovery, neat Evanston, of a mound of extraordinary dimensions. Ulm work of excavation was speedily accomplished, and a vault was laid bare eight feet long, three feet wide, and four feet deep, iu which were the skeleton of a man, a cone-shaped earthen pot, au iron bracelet, and two medicine stones, cigar-shaped and full of holes. On the right side of the skeleton was found a plate of pure silver, tho size and shape of an artist's pallet. There is positive evidence that this vault is more than one thousand five hucdred years old. The Professor is confident that this discovery, to be fol lowed by others under the direction of the Smithsonian Institute, will establish the fact that the mound builders crossed the Missouri River, and passing over the plains of the Great West, found their way into Central America via the Gulf of California. A lively New Orleans youth essayed the role of ghost the other day, and was soundly thrashed by those he attempted to frighten. Ho brought a suit for assault with intent to kill. " You wanted to become a ghost, didn't you?" inquired the Court. " Yes, I reckon so,' acknowledged the youth. " Well, it seems to no rather ungenerous of you to wish to punish them for helping you to become what you wished."
