WWI 1)/ °YE Y MARKET AND CITY .1V B TVS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts received from the manufacturing districts represent that, during the past week, there has been very little improvement in the gene ral state of business. At Manchester, India goods have been scarcely inquired for ; and the demand for home requirements has decidedly fallen off. No change of importance has been apparent in the cloth trade of Leeds, and prices are generally un altered. At Bradford, wools and yarns were only in moderate request, but more activity prevailed in the goods markets, owing to the operations of some American buyers. The hosiery trade at Leicester has shown rather more animation, some rather large orders having been given out by Lon don and Manchester firms. The demand for money continues steady, and the rates remain without alteration. It is believed, however that an advance will speedily take place, owing to the drain of gold to the continent. About £BO,OOO is withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday, and a further quantity is expected to leave to-day. The directors will be compelled to adopt some measure of restriction if the movement should continue, of which there seems to be some. probability, owing to the exceptional demand for gold abro: td and the extensive payments that will have to b: made for supplies Of grain. The me eting of the creditors of Messrs. R. Davis and Co., called for to-day, has been postponed in consequence of an adjudication in bankruptcy. Notice hi is been given by the London and County Bank tha• t they will open a branch establishment in Shoreditc ;h at once, and that in the meantime they will mak a advances on the customers' balances to the exten tof 7s. in the pound. This arrangement, it is almol ;t unnecessary to announce, will materially diminish the inconvenience that would otherwise arise front this unfortunate stoppage. At Birmingham, Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and most of ti ie principal hardware districts symptoms of improvement have been visible, but no change of import ance can be recorded in prices. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was not quite so active, but prices were firm. Tine sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The 9 rrivals of specie this morning include the Seine, from the West Indies, with £302,735, and the Canada, from New York, with £750. A meeting of the proprietors of the Oriental Bank Corporation has been held to-day, when the propoi3ed dividend and bonus, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum was declared. A suit between the directors and the Chancellor of the Exchequer with regrxd to the legality of the double Income-tax has been instituted, which it is thought will result in the remission of the impost. A .though very little alteration has taken place in p rices, the English Stock Market has presented a d all and heavy appearance. The unfavourable specie movement—a further eflltx from the Bank beir ag considered probable—and the expectation of an - ,lndian Loan have restrained business, but very little variation has occurred, Consols being 92 for money and the Bth proximo, and 93 to 93 for ]ecmbe. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are steady at 914 ; Long AuuuiLies at 161 3 and Bank Stock remains at 232. India ditto has improved to 2201 ; ditto Loan to 103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 95 ; and Exchequer Bills are heavy at 2s. dis. to ls. prem. Very few dealings are recorded in. Foreign Secu rities, and prices in most instances are depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 70i ; ditto New, 55 to 55k ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. have receded to 88, Mexican to 211- 22k, Grenada to 16, Spanish to 48.7' i -, and Russian 3 per Cents. to 64; ditto Scrip is I, prem., and Portuguese are firm at 45. The Ocean Marino Insurance Shares are 1-; to 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 4 prem. ; and the Universal, t 2 prem. In the Railway Share Market the dealings were on a very limited scale, and the few bargains re corded were mostly at a further slight decline, par ticularly Great Northern, which receded .4 to 1 per cent.; Caledonian and South-Eastern declined ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Western, ; and London, Chatham, and. Dover, ; Great Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Wales realise about previous values.: The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have shown little change of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are quoted at 11 to 14 ; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 23 ; and Great Western of Canada are flat at 131 Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinue very inactive. Chartered of India, Australia, and China have declined 55., and Red Sea Tele graph ss. ; Peel River Land have improved 10s. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock . 232 3 per Cent.

DEATH OF THE EARL MANVERS.—We regret to state that this highly esteemed nobleman and much re spected landlord, died on Thursday at his seat, Thoresby park. This venerable peer, who was so well known for his numerous acts of caarity,as well as being an exemplary land lord, died at the age of 82. It will be remembered that a testimonial of respect was presented to this excellent nobleman by his tenantry on his completing his 80th year. Lord Newark, his only son, succeeds to the title, and thereby crew a vacancy in the House of Commons for a member of Farlioment for the South division of Notting hamshire. —Derbyshire Courier. DEATH OF A TENNESSEE HERMIT. The 1/9/innville (Tennessee) New Era announces the death, on the 23d ult., of Daniel West, the well-known hermit of th e mountains, at the age of 78. He had li ve d fora num ber of years in the hollow of a large American poplar tree, in the opening of which he fitted a rude doer. I n the centre of this hollow h e would build h is fire in wi n t er and for coo ki ng his plain meals. This hollow also served as his sleeping ap!trtment., and it is said he slept in a sitting D against the.walls of his house. AdjoinlZ ture, reclining or near to this tree, he had a rude shed, which he used as a workshop, where he manufactured chairs, boxes, cider mills, ecc. He was a North Carolinian by birth, and was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was at the Mobile station when the battle of New Orleans was fought. THE FAItIIRES IN BRAZIL.—The recent failures in Brazil have not been confined to Ri% Janeiro, but have extended up the coast to Bahia and Pernambuco, where they have been more nunieurous, although not so large in y, the havoc in the dry goods amount. At Bahia, the total suspensions at that trade has been general, eland port and Pernambuco are variously estimated in this year to have amounted from £250,000 teo£soo,oeoomo.meTrehielisywsoterlma of fraud which has lately disgTed the elsewhere appears at the same time taocehavedeveloed itself in these localities.

THE GAROTTE ROBBERY AT NEwMARKBT.—A few additional particulars have been rece ivedke on Friday of the rob bery of Mr. William Nichols, at NOw night. He was garotted by three men, :h ar e succeeded in obtaining his watch, and upwards of £l,BOO. The ou tra g e was a most daringone. It was committed about 10 o'c lock and "in a most public part." The ruffians, according to the latest accounts, were still at largo. A very interesting book, upon the subject of th e . f amous Rosicrucians, is in the press, and will im mediate l y appear. N ot hi ng re li a bl e con cerning this singular b o d y has been p u bli s hed since the days of Robert Flood , or Finaa, an eminent physician of the time of Charles the First. The name of the present book is " Curious Thing s of the Out s id e W or ld." It is in two volumes, and is the work of Mr. Hargrave Jennings, author of the " Indian Religions; or Remits of the Mysterious SiIARE ,1s DAY.)

THE ANCIENT CONSTITUTION OF HUNGARY. The following brief sketch of the National Char ter, which was based on the feudal system, may, perhaps, be acceptable to our readers : The principal prerogatives of the Crown were — the right to confer dignities, distinctions, and pri vileges, to dispose of the military power of the country, and to manage its foreign affairs. The King also, either directly or indirectly, appointed all civil functionaries, with the sole exception of the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown (Kronhuter), who were chosen by the estates out of a certain number of persons proposed by the Sovereign. Further, the King had the right in the time of war to summon all the nobles to take up arms (zur insurrection aufzqfordern) to succeed to hereditary property in default of heirs (male or female), and to give it to Hungarians who had de served well of their country, and to pardon any of his subjects who might offend against the laws. The Crown nominated the archbishops, bishops, and almost all the other ecclesiastical dignitaries. The Diet consisted of representatives of the four estates of the kingdom (Reichsstande), who were the Roman Catholic and non-united Greek prelates, the magnates (Counts and Barons), the gentry or cavaliers, and the Royal free cities. The Diet had two Chambers, which were called the "Tafel" (board) of Magnates, and the " Tafel" of the Estates. The Palatine was the president of the Upper Cham ber, and a public functionary, who bore the strange title of "Personal," presided in the Lower House. The King was bound to be crowned in six months from the time of his accession to the throne, and to convoke the Diet once in every three years. The office of Palatine was not to be allowed to remain vacant more than a year. The Diet was convoked by means of so-called Royal " comital" letters, which were addressed to the general assemblies of the several counties, of which in the time of King Stephen there were 72. At the opening of the Diet the Royal propositions were read, and then examined by special committees. When the Royal propositions were disposed of, and not before, the Estates were at liberty to brin g forward their griev ances, and to ask for redress. The votes were taken as they are in England. When a bill had passed both houses it required the Royal sanction before it could become a " Reichsgestz' (a law of the land). The sittings were public. The Diet usually sat two months. The matters within the competence of the Diet were, affairs of legislation, including the imposition of taxes and the levy of recruits for the army, the coronation of the King, and the election of the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown. No foreigner could obtain the Hungarian " Indi genat" (letters of naturalisation) without the spe cial consent of the Diet. The electoral laws drawn up by the Diet in 1847 and 1848—to which the Emperor referred in one of his letters to Baron Vay —did away with the special rights of the nobles and other privileged classes, and gave to all Hun garian citizens, if properly qualified, a right to take part in the elections. According to the Wanderer all persons who have attained their 20th year, and have never been punished for treason, murder, rob bery, arson, or smuggling, are electors— " w a. If they, in common With their wives and children, possess a house or a piece of ground in a royal free city of the value of 300 fl. b. If they, as mechanics, tradesmen, or manufachirers have establishment's in which they constantly employ one journeyman. c. If they have a certaix annual revenue of 1001 from money in the funds, or from real property. d. Physicians, surgeons, lawyers, engineers, academical artists, professors, members of the Hungarian learned societies, apothecaries, rectors, chaplains, village notaries, and schoolmasters, are entitled to a vote in those elective districts in which they reside. Every person who has completed his twenty-fourth year cau be returned to the Diet, which—excluding Transylvania, but including the Banat and Vojvodina, Croatia, and Sclavonia—is is con sist of 377 members." The counties were organised as follows :—The 1 principal civil employe, called " Ober-gespann" (Lord-Lieutenant), was nominates by the Sove reign. Each county h a d t wo Vice-Gespanne (De puty Lieutenants), a notary public, a collector general of taxes, with several clerks, a controller of accounts, and several " fiscals" or solicitors for the poor. The County Co u rt managed all matters of administration and police, and levied the taxes. Malefactors were also tried in the County Courts, but they had a right to appeal to a higher "in stance:" All the employes in the counties, except ing the " Ober- Gespanne" and the judges, were elected by the resident prelates, magnates, and gen try, and by the representatives of the Royal free cities. The county assemblies al s o e l ec t e d th e mem bers for the Diet. The counti es were di v id e d an d sub divided into district, sub-di s t r i c t s , an d communes . The chief of a district was called " Stuhlrichter" (jodge), and h e had an as s i s t an t w i t h t h e t i t l e o f " Vice Stuhlrichter." The last-mentioned employe had the superintendence of the police, and they, with the assistance of a couple of permanent jury men ( COnittats-Geschworene) administered justice. The Hungarian Court Chancellery, which is to the King of Hungary what the so-called " Bohemian Court Chancellery" was to the Emperor of Austria, is composed of a Chancellor, two Vice-Chancellors, 12 aulic councillors, and several secretaries and clerks. It upholds the prerogatives of the Crown, and is the organ by means of which the communica . - tion between the Sovereign and his Hungarian subjects is kept up. The Hungarian Chancellor is here, but the ICing has a S tadthold era t e a t B u da, which is the highest political authority in the country. For the moment the Master of the Ex chequer (Tavernicorum Regalium Magister) will act 45 Preeident of the Ste.dtholderate. „ 116 118 150 155 121 13 127 129 RP 70 72 iP 1 135 137 'l.Ol 103 94 95 100 11,1 108 110 1 P 92 94 101. 103 1 P iP P i P 22i 231 'l2O 123 130 133 10i 11 231 24i 102 103 10f 103 90 92 99 101 84 87 274 28 324 331 324 33, 45 48 126 128 123 125 9 10 1 121 121 14 14, LINES TEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

CORN RICHAN4E. The leading country markets held an Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. AL good and fine quali ties commanded fully previous rates, but inferior parcels were much neglected. Barley and allother kinds of spring corn had an upward tendency, whilst the flour trade was tolerably healthy. Throughout the Continent wheat has continued in request at extreme rates. Other descriptions of produce have realised very full prices, with a good export demand. The shipments of produce from the United States continue on a very large scale. _ The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad they amounted to 47,498 quarters of wheat, 7,015 barley, 11,6 1 oats, 3,150 beans, 25 peas, 3,628 tares, 7,909 linseed, 1,405 rapeseed, 550 sundry seeds, 7,977 sacks and 35,223 barrels of flour. Compared with Monday last the arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were on the increase, and in some what improved condition. For nearly all kinds the demand ruled inactive ; nevertheless, factors ware firm in their de mands, and in the moderate sales effected last week's prices were supported. Millers, generally, owing to the continued influx of produce from abroad, showed no disposition to increase their stocks. 'We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Most descriptions were in steady retail request, chiefly for inland consumption, at prices equal to Monday last. Mating cargoes of grain were a moderate demand at about previous iates. There was a good demand for barley, especially for the few tine samples on offer, and in some instances prices were rather higher. Malt was in short supply, and good request at full quo tations. The show of oats was only moderate, and the oat trade was firm at Gd per quarter more money. Beans commanded extreme rates, with a good demand. There was a steady sale for peas at extreme quotations, at is to 2s more money. The demand for flour was somewhat restricted at about last Monday's currency. The supply of foreign on offer was large.

Sales progressed heavily, on lower terms. The supply of home-fed beasts was tolerably good, but there was a great deficiency in the quality of all breeds. The heaviness in the trade in the dead markets produced great inactivity in the demand for all kinds of beasts, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. It must be under stood that the extreme value for Scots did not exceed 4s Gd per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,520 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 1,000 various breeds; and from Ireland, 200 oxen, &c. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy. Prime Downs and half-breds supported last week's currency, but in some instances the value of long wools had a drooping tendency. The general qurtlity of the sheep was inferior. Calves were in short supply, and steady request, at full quotations. _ _ _ We have to report much less activity in the demand for pigs, the prices of which were with difficulty supported.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT TO FEMALES BY A DANE. — Auguste Audree, a Dane, was charged before Mr. Tyr what with the following disgraceful conduct : Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. The evidence of Mrs. Elizabeth Buckstone, railliner, went to prove that on Saturday while cleaning out the shop, 5, Cranbourne-street, her daughter and a shop boy being present at the time, the prisoner came in front of the window and indecently exposed himself. She called Mr. Buckstone to her assistance, and on his going to the door with the boy the prisoner immediately started off, but was captured by Mr. Bean, a constable of the C division. Samuel Pond, shop boy to the complainant, gave, in a very intelligent manner, confirmatory evidence. George Maddans, a constable of the C division, said that in May last he had the prisoner at this court on a similar charge, when he had three months. Mr. Lewis said after this evidence he should decline to call witnesses in the prisoner's favour. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he felt no doubt in the case, and the prisoner had no reason to complain of his advocate for not calling witnesses. He looked upon him as a pest of society and a base offender— far worse than those who were brought before him for pilfering. He should commit him for three months with hard labour. 1 1836. 1857. 18 58 . 112,260 23,31 0 14,439 67s0dt 36sOdto 49s9itc --s Od —s Od —s Od 3,411 2,828 3,230 56,779 43,243 43,329 1,412 2,604 3 , 70 t 52,059 52,446 46 , 199 6ss Od 59s 6d 533 ad BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

SANGUINARY AFFRAY AMONG GERMANS. —Casper Henry Sherbremer, a German sugar baker, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stabbing Jacob Lant, or Lynch, and Henry Bruell, two other Germans. Bruell, whose hand and arm were bandaged, said he went to the Black Horse public-house in Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel, on Saturday night. There was music and lancing going on. He went up stairs and joined in the revelries. , The prisoner was there, and he was very tight and quarrelsome. Witness said, " Why do you quarrel, we are all country people here," on which the prisoner stabbed a man on the head. That man was in the hos pital, and was expected to die. Mr. Selfe—And what did he do to you ? Witness—Then he stabbed me on the head and on the arm, and I lost a good deal of blood. Mr. Selfe—What did you say to him ? Witness—All I said was, "What do you want to fight for ?" and then he took out his knife and stabbed us. The prisoner, in German, said he had witnesses to prose let it was not him that inflicted the wounds. Martin Schensefeil, a baker, said he was sitting at a table alongside the musicians, while his country people were dancing, and the prisoner took up a knife and stabbed the man who was in the hospital on the head. Mr. Dutus, a Prussian, who acted as interpreter, said that the musicians who were present at the Black Horse on Saturday night would attend and give evidence, if necessary. Mr. Selfe—l have a medical certificate that the man in the hospital is in a dangerous condition. I shall remand the prisoner until Tuesday, the 6th of November. T.HIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

FRIGHTFUL MACHINERY ACCIDENT AT WEDNES BURY.—Two MEN KILLED.—An accident of a terrible nature occurred on Wednesday morning at Portway-road Axletree Works, Wednesbury, by which two men, named respectively Thomas Bishop and James Grayley, lost their lives. The circumstances connected with the sad calamity are as follows :—Mr. Edwin Richards, proprietor of the above-named works, had been having a new engine pat down, and the two unfortunate men, Bishop and Grayley, were engaged in the masonry department. About 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the engine being at work, Bishop was about to descend a shaft, at which he had been work ing, for the purpose of procuring a better water supply, and 1 Grayley was in the act of assisting him in his descent, when the rope by means of which he was being let down caught one of the nuts on the coupling box. The adjoining wheel was then making about 40 revolutions per minute, and the two poor men were carried round the machinery, their bodies being mangled in a most frightful manner. The engineer stopped the engine immediately, but not in time to prevent fatal results. Bishop, whose le g s were cut right off, and his abdomen torn horribly, lived about two hours after wards. Grayloy, though apparently less injured, died in an hour afterwards, having sustained a fracture of the skull, and had one of his legs broken. It need hardly be said that an accident of so shocking a nature spread considerable consternation amongst those engaged in the works, and in fact the locality generally manifested intense excitement and alarm, the greatest interest and sympathy being ex pressed respecting the deceased. Bishop, who is we belicye. a single man, was about 45 years of age, and lived at it Top. Grayley was 10 years younger, a married man wit h _, three children. The bodies of both have been removed° and information has been forwarded to the coroner, ,7111,, will probably hold his inquiry this day singular that only a few feet from the spot whereen e two unfortunate men met with their death, ,te.mbe was . It is somet‘hleset killed some two years ago by machinery at Nyh n working in his ordinary occupation. — D Post. vCE —The con- INCREASE OF SMOKING IN DU- . r; an immense sumption of tobacco in France increases proportion.

On Saturday Lord Palmerston paid a visit to Pontefract for the purpose of inaugurating the New Market Hall, which has just been completed. Au address by the Corpo ration having been presented, Lord PALMERSTON replied in the following terms : Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, --I am sure you will readily believe me when I tell you that it is with feelings of the utmost gratitude and the greatest pride that I have received the address which you, sir, have had the goodness to put into my hands. Nothing can be more grateful to any man who is engaged in public life, than to meet, as it is my good fortune to-day to do, a large and respectable assemblage of his fellow countrymen, gathered together to give him that welcome which in any county is cordial, but which I know is in York shire more hearty than anywhere else ; and to receive also in that cordial and hearty welcome a testimony of at least personal good will, even though that good will may i n some eases proceed from those who may politically differ with him upon many important matters. (Hear, hear.) On these occasions, gentlemen, it is personal intercourse be tween those who arc engaged in the task of governing, and those who contribute,by their industry, their activity, their intelligence, and their individual prosperity to the greatness and happiness of the country of which they are worthy members. (Hear, hear.) I appear before you, gentlemen, however, not merely in the character of one of the servants of the public and of the Crown, for I happen to bc your near neighbour—(cheers)--and though the interest which I have in your neighbourhood may be comparatively small, yet I can assure you that I feel the honour of being a neighbour of great and prosperous communities because I share in the advantage which those prosperous and indus trious communities scatter through the range which sur rounds their seat. (Hear, hear.) You have been pleased, Mr. Mayor, to advert to the duties which it has fallen to my lot to perform in conducting the foreign relations of the country. I cannot take credit for anything in that department which may have merited your approbation ; because the man, whoever ho may be, who is entrusted with the task of representing towards foreign countries the power, the dignity, and the commanding position of this great nation, is armed with means which, unless he grossly shrinks from the performance of his duty, must lead him to accomplish ends which are sure to cbtain the assent and concurrence of his fellow-country men. (Applause.) It was no doubt the study of the Government, of which I have the happiness of having been a member, while on the one hand we maintained the interests, the honour, and the dignity of our own country, to exert that influence which we were able to command, as representing the British nation, to favour and prosper those principles of civil and political liberty abroad, of which we have seen at home the great and splendid fruits. (Ap plause.) We were happy to be successful in many of the attempts which we made in that direction ; and it is our gratification to think that there are many nations of the continent whose political and civil position has been greatly improved, owing mainly no doubt to their own patriotic exertions, but assisted by the countenance and support which they received from the Government and people of England. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, you have adverted to domestic affairs. It is impossible, in this free country, where every man has, as he has a right to have, his own opinion—where men are not accustomed to bow to the de cision of others—where every man examines for himself, reasons for himself, comes to his own conclusions, and strong in the convictions which examination has produced, maintains boldly and manfully his own position against any difference that may arise from others ; it is not, I say, in such a country as this that any man can expect to meet, as I now do, a great and respectable assemblage of his fellow countrymen, and reckon that he shall find among them ' unanimous consent to the particular opinions which he himself may entertain. But it is by the conflict of different opinions—it is by the examination not only of our own con victions, but of those of others who differ from us—it is by that perpetual and constant agitation of mind, and conflict of reason and opinion—that sound ultimate conclusions are arrived at, which are found to be satisfactory, if not to the whole, at least to the great majority of a thinking and reflecting people. I trust, gentlemen, that that has hitherto been the course of events, as far as regards that administra- tion of which it has been my good fortune to be a member. And I am persuaded that such will be for ever the course which any body of men will pursue who may be worthy of being entrusted with the conduct of the national affairs of this great country. You have, Mr. Mayor, adverted to a circumstance which, indeed, is most illustrative of the pro gress of human affairs. You have contrasted this magni ficent structure, the work of modern improvement— calculated to supply the wants of the day, to fulfil those desires and requirements of modern civilisation — you have contrasted it with that ancient and venerable relic of former periods which still forms an interesting ornament to your town. (Hear, hear.) Well, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, that is a most instructive lesson as to the course of human events; and well may we congratulate ourselves that we are now standing in this hall of commerce—in this sanctuary of industry—instead of being assembled within the walls intended for defence against external attack, cramped in the exertions of industry, and trembling for an axious future. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is indeed a useful lesson to all who are disposed to read ; and it shows .ow the progress of enlightenment, the progress of Intel tot, the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of civilisation, the augmentation of civil and political liberty—how these things lead to personal and collective security, and how that great aggregate tends, by increasing the security of property, to afford a safe development for industry (applause)—to multiply the happiness of the people, to in crease the wealth and the power of the country, and to con duce to all the improvement in society which every day morn and more qualifies men to ffll the dignified position which his Creator destined for him in this life. (Cheers.) Gentle Men, I congratulate you all upon having a Corpora tion animated by public spirit such as that which has sug gested the creation of this noble fabric ; and I am persuaded that it will conduce as much to the improvement and de • velopuient of the industry and resources of the town, as it redounds to the honour of the body who suggested and accom plished it. I again beg, Mr. Mayor, to return you and the Corporation my sincere thanks for the honour you have done, in the address which you have had the goodness to hand to me. (Loud cheers.) 88,022 112,012 LORD PALM. ONTEF.RA CT. MR. DBEIV, THE IRISH COMEDIAN. Judging from the observations of the leading Dublin journals, we have reason to congratulate the theatrical world on the appearance of a most worthy remplacant of the late and much lamented Tyrone Power, in the person of Mr. John Drew, who is playing at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, where he has met with extraordinary success in several of poor Power's favourite characters. In quoting the following from the Irish Times of Saturday wo cannot help observing that Mr. John Drew would bo a very great acquisition to the London stage : —THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.—Last evening Mr. Drew made his fourth appearance before a well-filled house, when he considerably augmented the suc cess which attended his debut. We admired him more last night than we did on Moxday evening. He was more at home. He seemed to be on better terms with his audience, and he was perfectly free from those little embarrassments and that nervousness which in variably attend a debut, but which become almost oppressive when accompanied by the consciousness of making a " first appearance" in one's native city. If in his representation of the Irish Ambassador —the most difficult Irish character on the stage—persons is search of faults, and given to hyper critical observations, consider he fell short of poor Power's realisation, he, nevertheless, exhibited a correct appreciation of the part, and rendered many of its more salient and deli cate points with a richness and a humour which provoked the most side-splitting laughter, and made us oblivious of captious criticism. In "Handy Andy" we may say he is ini mitable, incomparably comic. From the moment he enters the stage to the fall of the " drop" he never relaxes the hold he has on the house. The characte r is, of courser,awann:ebx ody ceptional one—a humorous exagg eration the difll•• Lover; btzt making proper allowances *sullies of norrative, Andy re nd r looking at Mr. class not yet e.x.tinct in the country, and say it was per p esentative of a Drew's represeniatiou of this type ' werfectious. But it was is the fect—perfect in all its faultsand and perhaps not a burlesque. 'While was ija l a . and, while we were coarse, it was free from caricatur g l ' auolter at its abs r convulsed with the most boisterous - • we were compelled to admit their dities and peculiarit ies, truth and the consummate ability of the actor. We have no doubt that, af ter a very short acquaintance, Mr. Dr ew will become a decided favourite with his fellow-citizens of Dublin. _ prin ciples u 'r re i d iE to L ;c 2' i G fo L rth ß th E c e O ca f n t h h a e rdly be 11°W " n _ Q 3 ' e li d e rr a c v i o l ciPIC B I hav yirst : iron vessels without any combustible a doubt. t t a i ff b c le ct L.l compoundsbythefur o n t a t c h e e - fl f r o e e s . ofs Secondly engines, dl y : the armour plates, placed at such an angle as to increase their hou gth and elude the force of the shot.

Two NIGHTS IN A CHALK PIT.—A singular accident lately a chalk occurred at Clapton, Lear Il.ungerferd. A man was gatheri ng nu t s a b ou t m id-day on I,londay in a hedge row on the farm of Mr. Thomas Owen, and fell into pit eighteen feet deep, which was overgrown with brambles, and therefore not easily discovered. The pit was only a short distance from the road, and the roan, who states that he heard psople passing, and called as loudly as he could, was not discovered until mid-day on "Wed nesday, when a little boy who was nutting, ran to Mr. Owen's farm, and gave an alarm, The poor iellow was got out by the aid of a ladder, and having been kindly attended to by Mr. Owen's family was soon enabled to walk home. He had a piece of bread and a handful of nuts in his pocket when he fell into the pit, but could not eat either. Ile states that he slet well the first night, but passed f4 c e whole of the second night in prayer, and had worked the tops of his fingers raw in endeavouring to climb. up _ k sides of the pit. The pit was a common chalk Pl a t , r _ s _ i t , ith a shaft, and was fenced round about four.ye. irgahlt 0 O, but the fencing 114W:cur9 much decayed k dependent; A letter from Warsaw, dated October 25, says : —" It is impossible to send any news of the Con ferences, for the very good reason that there have not been any conferences at all, in the meaning usually attached to the word. Doubtless, interviews have taken place between the different statesmen and ministers who accompany their Sovereigns. There have been visits and conversations, but no diplomatic conferences in plenum. Will there be any ? Many doubt it. All I can say is, that Russia and Prussia are animated by the idea of conciliation, and the alarm entertained of a new Holy Alliance is totally unfounded. A coalition against France has been hinted at. Russia and Prussia have met with a view of conciliating the interests and necessities of France with those of the other States. " On the 23d there was a grand review of about 30,000 men —cavalry, infantry, and artillery—in the plain of P awoc k s ki . A n i mmense mu l t it u d e assembled to witness it: " The thr ee S overeigns, rived on the field a b out half-wpast l o 2 th in er dr P os r e i h n s c k es ie , sa—r the two Emperors in the same carriage, the Prince Regent and Grand Duke Heir-apparent in another. They then mounted their chargers, and, followed by a brilliant Staff, passed the troops in review. In the eveningaNe a Prince splendidG o r ball.ts eh There akoff , th eV werei Viceroy raobyo about t f Poland, gave 600 guests, including many of the noblest names of Poland. The Emperor of Austria and the Heir apparent of Russia danced several dances. The Emperor Alexander and the Prince Regent did not share in the dancing. The three Sovereigns walked about the rooms, making themselves as agreeable as possible, and I could not observe any trace of anxiety on either of their countenances. A magni ficent supper was served at half-past 12. The Emperor of Austria occupied the centre of the table of honour, having on his right the Princess Gort schakoff and the Emperor Alexander ; on his left Countess Frances Potocka and the Prince Regent. " It is curious to observe the feeling of hatred which exists here towards Austria. The same feel ing exists in Germany. When the Czar left St: Petersburg for Warsaw he is reported to have said to his aides-de-camp, so as to counterbalance the bad impression caused by the nelvs of the intended interview with the Emperor of Austria, Gentle men, it has been said that I havo spontaneously invited the Emperor of Austria to Tirarsaw ; it is not so. The Emperor Francis Joseph requested me to meet him in that city, and I confined myself to the reply that I should be happy to receive him.' " I cannot vouch for the truth of the anecdote, but, at all events, it faithfully represents the feel ings of the Russian army towards Austria. " Last night Court theatricals were given at the charming little Salle do l'Orangerie. This beautiful little theatre, situate in the centre of the Lazienki park, is a perfect gem, and does not hold more than 250 or 300 persons. The Sovereigns and Princes occupied the two front boxes, the invited guests the other seven boxes and stalls. The " Corsaire" (ballet), by Mazilliers, was given. While the offi cial world was witnessing the ballet, the multitude thronged the Lazienki-park, nhich was illuminated like fairyland. " P.S.--I reopen my letter to add, that a sudden change has taken place in the plans of the Sove reigns. The hunting party, which was to have taken place on Saturday at Skierniewice, is coun termanded. To morrow morning the Emperor of Austria and the Prince Regent will leave for their respective capitals. At 5 p.m. the Emperor Alexander will start direct for St. Petersburg. Alarming news respecting the health of the Dowa ger Empress has caused this sudden break-up. THE CONF. WARSAW. TILE CONVICT MULLINS. There is an error in the statement that has gone the round of the press, that David Mullins, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Emsley, was ordered for execution on Monday, the 12th of November. When Mr. Sheriff Abbis, Mr. Sheriff Lusk, with the Under-Sheriffs Eagle ton and Gammon, Mr. Jones, the Governor, and Mr. Davis, the Ordinary visited him, he was distinctly informed that Monday, the 19th of November, was the day appointed for carrying the sentence into execution. THE LIVINGSTON EXPEDMONS. By the arrival of the steam ship Athens we are put in possession of some interesting details of the progress of Dr. Livingston and his fellow-travellers in the interior of Africa, The following are extracts of letters received from the Rev. J. Moffat, one of the Zambesi missionaries : " NYATE, MATABELE COUNTRY, April 1, 1860. " We have had nothing since we sent away our last post at the beginning of the year, so you may imagine we aro in a state of darkness. Moselikatse has a mania for trade, and would like to make us all traders if he could. We have been busy the last thrae months in gardens, and in getting up some sort of dwellings. My wife and I are still, however, in a native hut and in our tent. Our cottage is approaching completion. I have per sonally little to complain of in Mozelekatze's treatment, considering what he is ; but such despo tism as his, especially as the man is nearly in his dotage, involves much that is trying to our patience and unplecsant to our feelings. These matters are however of little moment; it is our helplessness in regard to that which is our first and great duty that we feel. I am sorry to say that our wheat has utterly failed. We were here too late to sovr it in the proper season: Unless unexpected auP plies come, we may have to take to native corn 7 , which is gleer stuff compared to our st aff of life. The other letter is from the same place, but dated the 9th of May, 1860; "No letters have succeeded in !caching us here e have only been. except by Kuruman people , a d w .11e writer estaskameysisdt:h— dliste We have heard from Linyanth U S able to send away one post anti.

From a communication from Lith egana, i s Sechelis country, dated July 8 , we learn that th e = ego • • naries at Moselekatze had succee d e d i n in spiring able to spa • ing more friendly feelings in the heart of the old King. Mr. Lis, one of the Moffat party, had. arrived at Sechelis, and brought the news that the old King was on very good terms with them (the missionaries) at Moselkatze. Mr. and Mrs. Mac kenzie, of the London Missionary Society, had passed Sechelis on their journey to the Makoldo, where they intend to stay for the future. A great many traders had reached as far as Seohelis during the season ; they were English colonial people, but were accompanied by the Kurumans. Elephants were scarce, and the hunting season bad. The hos pitality of the natives had greatly abated since the last accounts. THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Carmarthen ,TourAal of Friday says that no steps beyond those of cleaning and paying her bottom, and painting her outside, have yet been. taken for fitting this wonderful vessel for another voyage. There she lies at Neyland, safe from all casualties, pro perly moored, and her supports (donkeys as they are called) greatly strengthened of late. This looks as though it was not intended to move her for some time ; nor, indeed, need such be the case, unless she could be freighted, seeing tkii . t . she is safer there than anywhere else, and that , too, with" out expense, there being neither harbour nor other naw" least granted against her.
