JTILLIEN has the honour to state that his Annual Series of Concerts will commence THIS EVENING, October 30, 1846, and be continued FOR ONE MONTH ONLY. M. JULLIEN has great regret in announcing that he is impera tively called upon to terminate this Series of Concerts at a period so unusually early, but the new Proprietors of the Theatre, having stipu lated for possession of the premises on Tuesday, December Ist, in order to commence the demolition and rebuilding of the interior, for their grand Italian Opera, M. JULLIEN has no alternative. The last Concert will, therefore, most positively take place on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28TH. , . Notwithstanding, however, the shortness of the Season, M. JULLIEN has determined to present to his patrons every possible attraction, and has made such arrangements as will afford them Four Weeks of Unrivalled Musical Entertainment. During the recess he has composed a new Grand Descriptive Military Quadrille, to be entitled, "THE BRITISH ARMY QUADRILLE," and intended as a companion to " The British Navy," which was last winter honoured with such distinguished approbation. In order to render comilete the Grand and Novel Effects intro- duced in this Piece of Music, M. JUGLIEN has (by the kind conde scension of the Military Authorities) succeeded in engaging, (entirely In addition to his o vn coun lete and numerous Orchestra), FOUR DISTINCT MILITARY BANDS, : - Thi Band of HER MAJESTY'S 2nd LIFE GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. WAETZIG (by the kind permission of Colonel WILLIA3IS) : The Band ofHER MAJESTY'S ROYAL HORSE GUARDS, BLUE under the direction of Mr. TUTTON (by the kind permission of Colonel SMITH): The Band of HER MAJESTY'S GRENADIER GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. SCHOTT (by the kind permission of Colonel HOME) : and _ The Band of HER MAJESTY'S COLDSTREAM GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. GODFREY (by the kind permission of Colonel SHAWE). These Four Grand Military Bands will, during the progress of the Quadrille, ba combined with the Concert Orchestra, and form a Musical Ensemble at once novel and extraordinary. The whole conducted by M. JULLIEN. Tlie immensely increased expense incurred by the above arrange ments is evident. The Prices of Admission will, however, remain as formerly; M. JULLI EN (having considerably enlarged the space allotted to the Promenade) intending to trust for his remuneration to an increased number of Visitors, rather than to an augmentation in the prices of admission.

SUICIDE A T A P OLICE S TATION .--•- Wednesdaya most determined act of suicide was committed in one of the cells belonging to the police station-house, in Ken ningtort-lane, by a roung maivnamed Edward Edwards, alias Floyd, who had been locked up there. It appears that the deceased was apprehended on a charge of breaking int o a s t a bl e b e l ong i ng to Mr. Gable, in lying -street, Old Kent-road, and stealing two saddles. He was locked up at the above station house, in a cell in company with another prisener of the name of Wood. Soon after a constable came, and took out W oo d , who was wanted for examination,,leav ing deceased in the cell alone. Not more than two or three minutes had elapsed when Inspector Roger, in passing the cell, observed a handkerchief passed through a small aperture in the door, and made fast to an iron bar above. Suspecting something wrong, he instantly cut the handkerchi e f, and heard somethin fall inside. And on the doo r b e i ng opened the deceased was found lying on the floor of the cell, in an insensible state. He w a s instantly carried to the station, and two modical men were promptly in attendance, b ut they pronounced the man quite dead.

Hitherto, that most beautiful, possibly, of all the English counties hes been the most lamentably deficient in its agricultural organisation. The degenerated and impoverished character of the Dorsetshire labourers has, indeed, assumed to itself a miserable notoriety; the inertness of the Dorsetshire landowners has been very naturally surmised in consequence. 'We are peculiarly gratified to observe that the latter are becoming painfully con scious of the invidious impressions associated with themselves collectively, and are becoming proportion. ably - solicitous to remove from the public mind im pressions so calculated to diminish their influence and to render their body "a reproach and a hissing in the land." We do not, however, presume to assert that these gentlemen are actuated solely by motives so reprehensibly selfish. We give them every credit for desiring to ameliorate the miseries of their ne glected dependents upon principles the most disinter. ested and philanthropic. Nevertheless, we must, ii honesty, remark, that no resolute exertion was attempted for the advancement of the agricultura' labourers d the district until the indignation of the people - at their protracted indolence hid been MOP signally manifested. We mean distinctly to asseri that the landlords of Dorsetshire have been impelled to adventure upon the alleviation of the distresses of their subordinates mainly, if not entirely, throng}, the potential recommendation of the popular voice. Public opinion is being successfully exerted, for the social improvement, the physical culture, and the moral elevation of the Dorsetshire peasantry, as it was previously exerted for the destruction of the de testable corn-laws, for the removal of the illiberal dis abilities attached to the profession of Roman Catho licism, for the realisation cf Parliamentary Reforn aral for so many other lesser achievements. The force of public opinion is being again manifested in the movement observable among the landed proprietors of Dorset ; and it could scarcely be manifested in 1 course more peculiarly identified with that of uni versal humanity, as well as with the better deve lopment and more indisputable prosperity of British. agriculture. On Tuesday last, the 27th instant, a most interest. ing, and we may even say momentous meeting, tools place in the Assize-hall at Dorchester : a meeting presided over by the High-Sheriff; and numbering amongst the individuals cotlected upon the platform almost all the principal agriculturists of the county. How much was accomplished at this preliminary as• semblage may be readily perceived from the first re solution proposed by the Lord Bishop of SALISBURY. and seconded by T. FLOYER, Esq., M.P. That reso lution was to the following effect :—" That it it, obvious that the present state and condition of the labouring classes are such as to give occasion for the immediate efforts of an energetic and well-directed benevolence, to produce a permanent and effectual improvement in their condition." There is an ac knowledgment ! After this declaration of the necessity for "an energetic and well-intentioned benevolence," it will be impossible for the landowner. to tarry in their march of philanthropy. They have adjured the public, as it were, to watch their endea yours to assuage the sorrows of their farm-labourers. They have confessed the positive necessity that exists for such a proceeding, and have thus rendered them selves liable to receive a national reprobation if they do not successfully combat with the exigencies of the local population, and ultimately confer prosperity and comfort upon the dependent peasantry. Gratefully do we accept the sentiments uttered on the occasion of this meeting by the Lord Bishop of SALISBURY. Those sentiments are inculcative of lenity to the humbler daises in their toilsome avo cations ; they enforce the duties of generosity tee those who are in a great measure dependent upon the landed proprietors ; they laud those who, in their relation with the peasantry, are distinguished for their suavity and beneficence. "As with the social condition of the individual man," said the Right Rev. Prelate, "so was it with the condition of the social community. In both conditions it was found imprudent to stand still, for the nation and individuals were either advancing to improvement, or tending to degradation or decay." Without some valourous and generous effort to promote the general happiness, by elevating the phy sical position of the Dorsetshire peasantry, they will inevitably retrograde, while the rest of their country men are keeping pace with the onward movement of civilis a tion. . It is from a consciousness of these facts that the second resolution was proposed by Mr. A. H. D. ACLAND, and seconded by the llon. and Rev. W. SCOTT, that resolution being to the following effect : " That it is evident from the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the utility of allotments of lands to the poor, and from various other authentic documents, that land allotments on the field-garden system, under judicious regulations, tend to add to the resources, to increase the comforts, and improve the moral habits of the labouring classes." Unquestionably they do! But surely the acknowledgment of those social truths, and, by in. ference, the subsequent presentation of so many boons to the poorer people in the shape of allotments or rather of garden patches attached to their dwell ings; should not be accompanied with the injurious recommendation of a precarious and deceitful vegetable. Now that there is so much *probability of the successful cal. tivation -of the Indian maize in lieu of the less nutritious potato, w•e are sanguine that a better substitute for that fragile tuber may be intro- need, not merely to the allotments of Dorsetshire, ,ut to the wider and equally neglected tracks of Ireland. After all the dismal disclosUres of want and wretchedness among the Dorsetshire labourers ; after having acquired the mournful knowledge of their habitual destitution, ald the painful conscious ness of their mental and bodily abasement ; it is some, solace to find _their natural guardians, even at the eleventh hour, acknowleding their great sins'of omission, and avouching their determi nation to assuage the torments inflicted upon many generations by themselves and their more culpable predecessors. It is a solace to hear this solemn con fession, and this assurance of regret; and it is well to feel that the compensation of those miseries will be in accordance with the dictates of a repentant ge nerosity and the impulses of a laudable emulation. his Grace been connected with the cause of education For the last fourteen years the Most Rev. Prelate has been chiefly occupied with the introduction of na tional education into Ireland, which, he considers, " will prove one of the greatest boons which has been conferred by Government on any part of her MA JESTY'S dominions." This system has been made the theme of much vituperation ; but, as explained by the Archbishop, we are sure it will meet with merited commendation : " We do not undertake to teach the whole of their religious belief, to give the whole of their religious edu lation to the children of different denomivations—be -,ause we could not possibly do that for all of them toge .her,_without viol a ti ng t h e consc i ences o f some of t h em. We do not propose, therefore, to give a complete educa tion. The system is to leave to the parents of each child he nligions education of that child, the .right of rtdi• ;ions education in that mode, be it right or wrong in my )pinion, which they themselves think the best.—(Much Aeering.) We gibe to the children jointly, and it" 'riendly intercourse with each other, all the instruction which they can conscientiously receive together. Arid ,o much of that instruction, I am happy to say, con ists of the knowledge of sacred history, of those great ruths of our common Christianity in which, thank [leaven, we all agree, much as we differ upon other coin ts." This, as far as the principle is concerned on which :he sys'tem is I.nied, seems to leave nothing to .be lesirel His Grace subsequently remarked, in terms of fervid elcquence, that it was not right to orce upon children any religious instruction which heir parents may disapprove :-- " I never can believe that the'Founder of our Religion, who, when he was apprehended, and dragged aw a y to an ignoble death, declared that he could eall on more than twelve legions of angels to his rescue, an who told his wer zealous disciple to put his sword into his sheath L never can believe that it was his intention or desire hat his sacred word shou!d be forced upon any one against his will, inclination, and conscience. This language does honour to its author. We , wish the whole bench of Bishops were equally en 'arged in their views. However, a more enlightened , pirit is beginning to animate the head's of the Church, as was, in a great degree, evinced during the last session of Parliament. We shall hope that the sound advice tendered, and the excellent example set them by the Archbishop of DUBLIN, will not be lost ,fight of by his episcopal compeers. The fulfilment of `his hope would be the removal of one of the greatest mpediments now lying in the path of nationa ,ducation. A most important meeting of landowners and gtentry was held at Fermoy on Saturday last, for the purpose of " discusing the present alarming state of the country, and taking such steps as might be deemed advisable to meet the exigency created by the scarcity and dearness of food, and the want of useful and beneficial employment for the people." The county Members attended, Mr. O ' CONNELL having come from Derrynane specially for the purpose, in order to hear the sentiments and understand the views of his con stituents and to assist in carrying them out as far as possible. Every such assemblage, at which the views )f intelligent gentlemen, well acquainted with the wants of their respective localities, are elicited, must be extremely valuable; facts are stated and authen ticated which will form data for the authorities to draw their deductions ; and, although the conclusions of the speakers or the resolutions adopted may possibly not be fully warranted by the premises, still the attention of the Executive will necessarily be directed thereto, and a full consideration will be secured for the projects by which it might be suggested that the existing distress should be mitigated, and the condition of the people of all classes ameliorated and improved. It was chiefly owing to what had occurred at similar meetings, and the forcible manner in which the deficiencies and defects of the Labour•rate Act were pointed out and explained to the Lord-Lieutenant by the gentlemen selected to attend before his Excellency as deputations, that we probably owe the vigorous and bold determination adopted by that patriotic nobleman of taking upon himself the responsibility of sanctioning a deviation from the letter of the statute, by which the greatest benefit may be obtained, if due advantage be taken of the powers thereby afforded to the several baronial sessions. The proceedings were restricted to the deeply im portant questions they had assembled to discuss, and everything that could by a possibility have occasioned difference or dissension was carefully excluded. Mr O'CONNELL, true to the pledge he voluntarily offered with respect to the proposed National Committee, to which the present meeting waa in some degree analogous, checked the expressions of esteem and respect which were loudly offered to himself, feeling that they might possibly be tortured into political manifestations—and thus afforded an additional proof of the confidence that may be reposed in him, and of the fidelity with which he would observe his engage- ments. The- fin t resolution conveyed a certain degree of c, nsure on the Hoard of Works for not facilitating and expediting the projects submitted to them for There can be no doubt that next to a temporary arrangement —settlement, for the present, were hope less—of the pressing difficulties of Ireland, which must be first considered and dealt with by the Legis lature in the ensuing session, the great question of national education will occupy a large portion of the attention of Parliament. The Government itself is pledged, by the city of London manifesto of the Premier, t.) introduce the subject upon a " compre hensive" scale; and, even:were we without this au thoritative assurance, the public mind has so long been bent upon the necessity of supplying the intel lectual wants of the middling and humbler classes, that the force of opinion alone would forbid the Go vernment remaining inactive on a matter of such national interest. Had we earlier attended to the pro minent duty of imparting to our countrymen the blessings of mental culture, what moral advance ment might we not by this time have accomplished, and what a reduction of crime would there not have been yearly effected ! Independently of the superior example set us by other civilised countries—and those our nearest neighbours—our own criminal statistics, periodically furnished, ought to fill us with shame for the neglect of which we have been guilty. We have frequently noticed the notorious dispropor tion among criminals of those who can neither read nor write compared with those who have acquired such elementary instruction, affording us the legiti mate inference, that in the ratio of the spreadof know ledge crime diminished. It is a melancholy circum stance to contemplate that nothing has so much de terred public men from grappling with the subject of national education as the prevalence of religious jealousy ; and we: are not without the apprehension that the over-wrought zeal and mistaken enthusiasm of many well-meaning, but really bigoted men, will be forthcoming to oppose any liberal measure that the Executive may propose for the'diffusion of general enlightenment. Education has been for centuries a complete monopoly. The Established Church has had the entire power in her own hands. Everything has been done for the upper ranks of society that could have been expected, where the stimulus of competition has been wanting; a few charity and Sunday-schools have been kept on foot for the poorest of our fellow-creatures; but the edu cation of the middling classes has been nearly altogether unheeded. The Church will not resign her accus tomed power without a struggle, and the specious plea will continue to be dogmatically put forward, that education is worth nothing without religion, which ought to constitute its foundation. We fully concede to the truth of this proposition, but hold, neverthe less, that without prejudice to the same the State may go a great way • towards ensuring education to all ranks of the people, upon the principle of religious toleration. We have read with feelings of unmixed gratifica tion the masterly speech which the Archbishop of DUBLIN delivered at the recent soirée of the Man chester Athenaeum, immediately after Lord Most- PETII had concluded his eloquent oration, and to which we adverted a few days since. His Grace left Dublin for the express purpose of being present on the occasion, persuaded, no doubt, - hat the opportunity was a most seasonable one for enunciating and enforcing certain truths, as well as r'or propagating particular information of intrinsic importance. The speech of the Archbishop will amply repay perusal. The views put forward are most extended and Christianlike, the reasonings developed most cogent. For upwards of thirty-eight years, in an active and zealous manner, as a writer, teacher, and founder of different establishments, has IN approval, a censure which was'most strongly repeated by Mr. O'CoNsfELL in his speech, and also in the letter which he wrote from Kilkenny on the following day to the Repeal Association. The emergency is un doubtedly most urgent, and not a moinentls time should be lost in setting the people into active occu pation wherever useful and valuable works have been presented for. Some allowance, however, must be made for the extraordinary weight of the business thrown on that body, increased, as it has been in many instances, by the refusal 'of the people to employ themselves at task work, and the organized opposition they have offered to the mode of employment and the amount of remuneration offered, and in others by the conduct of some of the presentment sessions, who, as at Macroom, indiscriminately sanctioned every pro- position made without discussion or investigation, leaving it to the board to select the good from the bad, and to refuse their approbation to the jobs which have too often been brought forward. Another reason also might possibly have occasioned the ap parent inaction of the board —the great majority of the presentments had been passed before the letter (~f his Excellency announced the determination he had arrived at of sanctioning works of a reproductive character, and it might fairly be presumed that the magistrates and ratepayers might desire to reconsider the manner in which the great expenditure decided on, amounting on an average to one year's poor-law valuation of the several lands in the districts, should be applied. These considerations offer some apology for the board; but we sincerely hope that the stimulant thus administered may not be thrown away, but that in every case some of the most desirable works may immediately be commenced in each of the baronies, so that the people may obtain instant occupation, and the means of purchasing the food so essentially neces sary for their destitute families. If the staff of the board is insufficient for the amount of labour cast upon them, it should forthwith be increased to the requisite strength. That part of the Treasury Minute which directs that the pay of labourers should in every instance be 2d. per day under the ordinary rate of wages in the district, was most properly condemned. The re muneration for labour should be sufficient to enable the poor man to obtain the necessaries of life—a sufficiency of plain food for himself and family; this, at the present prices of provisions, it is impossible for him to procure, and the wages should undoubtedly be raised to an adequate amount. We had hoped from what fell from the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the audience which they gave to the Mallow deputation, that the objectionable clause would long since have been modified; in fact, the present state of affairs imperatively demands a change in this respect. We are unable to discuss from want of space, the several resolutions adopted. A deputation, consisting of one or more members from each relief committee, was appointed to join Mr. O ' CONNELL in presenting a memorial, founded on the resolutions, to his Excellency, and to day has been fixed for a conference with the Lord-Lieutenant upon the subject of the meeting, as well as upon the general state of the country. We hope that the gentlemen thus selected may not separate and dissolve themselves after the interview;. they would form an admirable foundation for the National Committee. How could such a body be more usefully constituted than by representatives deputed by each of the relief committees throughout the entire country ? Every locality would be adequately represented, and there would be persons competent to state to the general body its peculiar wants. The first step is all that is necessary, and if the gentlemen, now appointed, continue their meetings in Dublin, their ranks will be inereas.d by numerous adherents, and a National Committee will be formed to devote their time and their energies to the amelioration of the people, and the means of escaping from the impending difficulties. Accounts from Switzerland are to the 22d. The elections at Geneva passed off without the slightest disturbance. The result has been, that out of ninety three Members of which the Grand Cjuncil is com posed, sixty are firm supporters of the present Liberal Government. At Bale, too, the Liberals have mustered in such force that the Government resigned their functions to the Liberal opponents voluntarily, and the change, which leaves the Liberals in undisputed possession of power, was accomplished without the peace being at any time disturbed. The Jesuit party in the canton of Valais, who, al though they possess the Government, and command the armed force of the canton, are yet in a minority as compared with the Liberal party, are getting alarmed for their supremacy, and are adopt ing their old tactics of endeavouring t.) rouse the ignorant and fanatical peasantry to massacre their opponents, and are, as they did two years since, in citing and practising secret assassination. The lowing is an extract of a letter from St. Maurice, the frontier town of the canton, situated on the Rhone, where it divides Valais from Vaud " The revolution of Geneva has alarmed the Govern ment of this canton, menaced with an approaching. clownfal by the victory of the Liberal party. The Council of State, in these circumstances, has put under arms some of the citizens, but their number is insuffi cient, and it fears to entrust arms to others whose de votedness to the Government is very doubtful. Attempts are made to excite tht fanaticism of one part of the po pulation against the other, and the tables of the cabarets are covered with proclamations drawn up in the name of religion. A public functionary has even been seen declaiming from the balcony of his re sidence, and endeavouring to instigate the people against the Radicals, and preaching a little St. Bartholo mew against those whom he calls the impious. In En tremont and Upper Valais secret meetings are held every night, and the report is current throughout the who live Canton that a troop of fanatics, armed by th e myster i ous ) e has to b s e t e ri n ke ne tl a r r e principal Valasian heads of the Radical ]3Vh :anmeetings, ede.( tVi fanatics,n Alreadyagus M.

It was said that the Queen of PORTUGAL had applied to Spain for assistance, and that at the re commendation of the French Ambassador, an armed intervention in the affairs of Portugal had been de termined on. Orders had been dispatched to the captains•general of Andalusia, Salamanca, an d G a . licia, to march troops to the Portuguese frontier. The Diario of Lisbon, of the 14th, states that Viscount D'OLIVEIEA, Minister of Finance, having given in his resignation, M. DE SOUZA•AZEVEDO has been appointed in his place. The Diario announces that the news received by the Government from Cas tello Branco, Abrantes, Serpa, Deja, and Estremaa is satisfactory. The population and the troops, it Was said, had everywhere submitted without resist ance to the QUEEN'S orders. "It is to be believed," adds the Diarie, " that her M AJESTY ' S orders will have equally been observed in the northern pro vinces, intelligence from which is every moment ex pected." h The b e li e f t h us confidently expressed by the Diario is,owever, tween Lisb on and Oporto and Coimbra have been cut , unfounded, for a ll c ommunications be off for some days, in consequence of the destruction done at 21 1 ,4 ; the Five per Cents at 21 3 / 4 ; of the telegraph by the insurgents.

A second ordonnance places 1,000,000 f. at the disposal of the Minister of Commerce, to be distributed among the sufferers by the overflow of the Loire, the Rhone, and their tributaries, and allocates 400,000 f. in aid of the hospitals and charitable institutions of the inundated districts. A. third ordonnance directed the attention of the Minister of Public Works to the necessity for creating employment for the labouring classes during the winter season, and empowers him to dispose for that object of a sum of 1,500,000 f. In consequence of the disasters occasioned by these inundations the KING has given up the idea of having any files at Versailles in honour of the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. The Journal des Debats says— " We announced that a grand theatrical representa tion was to take place at Versailles on the occasion of the marriage of the Due de Montpensier; but the King, deeply touched with the disasters which have fallen on several of the departments, has countermanded all kinds of rejoicing. There is no family fête for our princes when a public disaster has scattered misery and mourn ing amongst so many cottages. The royal generosity will be vouchsafed to the great number of unfortunate persons who have no other resource but the sympathy which they inipire--it will be the most noble manner of feting the marriage of the Duo de Montpensier.

SIR,—As in acc.)rdance with the usage of naming the planetary bodies after the deities of ancient mythology, the orb first descried by Herschel, in 1781, has received the appellation of Uranus, so it is certain that astrono mers will apply some classic term 'to the recent wonder ful discovery of Le Verrier. Uranns; the father of Saturn, was the offspring of Chaos and Nox, but the name of neither : o f th ese can b e f i tly given to an orga nised member of the universe, I venture, therefore, to suggest, that our lately found comrade be called Hype rion, from the circumstance of his describing the outer orbit of the solar system. This word, it is true, has been used by poets as an epithet of the Sun, in the sense of " high careering," but has not been so strictly appro priated to our great luminary as to forbid its adoption in what I conceive to be a legitimate and singularly ap propriate application. October 27. W. G. - - FINE WRITING ON FOUL WEATIIER.—The following sample of fine writing on a very common-place subject is taken from the Baltinasloe Star of Thursday :—" We have had a constant succession of gales and torrents of rain during the past week. On Wednesday, particu larly, the weather was terrific--one continued deluge poured the live-long day, accompanied by a perfect hur ricane, which uprooted several of the largest trees, and committed other ravages in the country. Even while we write, the' Stern Eagle of the far Nor-west' is hover ing about our te.Wll and neighbourhood—swooping now here now there, in his headlong flight, and mingling his wild storm-song as he soars along with the wilder music of his rushing pinions. The callow meadows present one broad sheet of white-foamed waters—the rivers scorning the narrow bounds of their accustomed chan nels are running riot over the flooded fields—and, were it not for a green hillock here and there, one might almost fancy that another fairy well' had overflowed, to work a second miracle like the far -famed one of Blue Lough Neagh.'" HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS PROVIDENT IN STITUTIoN.—The annual dinner of this benevolent as• sociation, founded for the relief of aged and necessitous members,. was held on Tuesday at the Freemasons' Tavern, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in the chair. About .120 members and friends of the institution sat down—among whom were Alderman Hooper, Mr. C. Bleaden, - Mr. J. Gresham, of Dublin, and most of the leading hotel and tavern-keepers of the metropolis. The occasion was one of peculiar interest to the society, th e Lord Mayor having consented to preside for the second time during his mayoralty, on the understanding that extra efforts would be used to raise the amount required to complete the sum of 5,0001, so as to enable the society to commence operations at once, by giving tempo rary assistance to deserving and necessitous members and others. The Lord Mayor had undertaken to raise 501. amonghis friends towards making up the requisite sum, but his Lordship's list on being read by the honorary secre tary (Mr. Tapster) was found to amount to 1631. The health of the Lord Mayor was proposed by Mr. Alder man Hooper, who intimated that he understood it was his Lordship's intention to signalise the close of his year of office by a series of the same splendid entertainments that have characterised his mayoralty, an announcement which was received with rapturous cheering. Lists of subscriptions were delivered i n f rom M essrs. Bacon, Bleaden, Tapster, &c., and at an advanced in the evening it was anno unce d, am i d great apple:suer, that the sum of 5.000/. had been completed. Alderman Hooper having complied w ith t h e request to preside a:lt the next anniversary, the Lord Mayor left the chair, stating that a general m eet i ng would shortly be held o t carry the benevolent obj ec t s o f the society into eff eL The dinner and wines fully up h e l d the high character ' of Mr. Bacon's establish men t . M r. Harker officiated as toast-master with great success, and the musical ar rangements left little to be desired. BRUTAL MURDER.—A widow womm named Dal weal brutal lyliving in a Line house near Villiers-sur-I3onnii!res, murdered a few nights back by two m en who had concealed th emse l ves i n a cart-house during her absence. Toey strangled her with apiee i .e of cord, which was foun I next morning on the sp o t, took away all her money, only 51 - 1, which they divided. The body beingfund the next morning, the police were set to work, and they in the course of the day wrested t w o youths, who confessed their crime. One is a young man of 22, named Boucher, for m erly attached to the hospice of Beauvais, and the other a lad , aged 17, b e . longing to a respectable family of Archy, C T f 3 rt 3O, 1846. 1U A I‘, 114:111 CA N • NE NV S. ARRIVAL OF PHE HIBERNIA. EIGHT DAYS LATER PROM THE UNITED STATES. CAPTURE OF MONTEREY AFTER HARD FIGHTING. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, arrived here this morning at a quarter to six o'clock with the usual mails and fifty-five passengers: By her we have received our usual files of papers to the day of sailing, the 16th instant, she having made the trip, including her calling and stay at Halifax, in twelve days and a half. She brings very important intelligence. The American arms have been success ful against the Mexicans at Monterey, which city, after a gallant defence, was compelled to capitulate on the 24th of September. The following are extracts from the papers : Since the sailing of the last steamer, we have received intelligence of a very startling nature from the army. After a tedious march, General Taylor and the forces under his command came in sight of Monterey on the 18th of September. The men were much wearied, and began to give out, their focd having been spoiled by severe rains. The advance were immediately saluted with a heavy cannonade, the sound of which acted like a charm on the jaded men. All became life and motion, and severe fighting followed. On the 20th, a successful attack was made by General Worth on the Mexican forts, routing the artillery and capturing their ordnance. On the 22d, the well-fortified palace of the Bishop of Monterey was attacked, and after a severe struggle was captured. On the 23d, the whole Mexican force, about double the American, was driven into the plaza, where, unable to runaway, the Mexican soldiery occupied the houses which surrounded the square, keeping up an in cessant fire from the windows. The conflict was tre mendous, lasting from early morning till late night. The 24th brought a cessation of hostilities, by the capitula tion of General Ampudia. The American loss is 500 in killed and wounded. NEW WAR POLICY. The United States Government having given orders to the army to " quarter on the enemy," the vigorous prosecution of the war, under such circumstances, will probably lead to a spedier peace than could have been obtained under the very humane and liberal policy hitherto pursued. The Mexicans appear to have looked upon American humanity as an evidence of cowardice. Our last advices from Monterey are to the 25th of Sep tember. Nothing new from California or New Mexico. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. Oar latest advices from Vera Cruz are to the 15th or September. General Santa Anna's popularity was said to be diminishing, partly in consequence of his ron-ap• pearance at the city of Mexico ; great efforts were making, however, by his friends in the Cabinet, to push on the war, and thirty thousand men have been called for, to be drafted from the Central States. Munitions of war are admitted free of duty, and the Roman Catholic Church of Mexico is called on to pour out its immense treasures in punishing the perfidious Americans. It is believed by some that Santa Anna desires to have the banditti of his native country killed off in this war ; and thus rid Mexico of the turbulent and licentious rabble of which her army has been composed. The Mexican army being annihilated, or driven into obscurity by popular contempt, for its unsuccessful de fence of the country, Santa Anna may have no difficulty in establishing a good Government, which shall seek to find its chief support in the hearts of the people, who will become the national militia—citizens in peace, sol diers in war. AMERICAN MARKETS. Flour has slightly receded in price since the last steamer, closing at a fraction under )/5 50 per barrel, for good Western Canal. Other bread stuffs have not varied much from the prices current at the date of our last. The quantity of wheat and flour received this year through the New York canals, is equal to 717,116 barrels of flour over the quantity received in 1845. The Cotton market is quite unanimated, partly in consequence of the non-arrival of the steamer Great Britain. Serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of that fine vessel, which was due at New York on the Bth October. MONEY MARKET. The five percent. loan which the Government agent was supposed to have negotiated with Brown, Brothers and Co., at the sailing of the last steamer, was not taken by that house. Nor would the New York and Boston banks take the loan at less than six per cent. Treasury notes, bearing interest at five per cent., will probably be issued as the readiest mode of obtaining the means of carrying on the war, until the meeting of Congress. Money is worth seven per cent. in Wall-street, on good paper. The banks loan at six per cent. on sixty day bills. DISPATCHES FROM MAJOR GENERAL Z. TAYLOR, RECEIVED AT THE WAR-OFFICE. Washington, Oct. 11, 1846. (No. 89). Headquarters Army of' Occupation. Camp before Monterey, Sept. 22, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to report that the troops under my command, including the mounted volunteers from Texas, marched from Marin on the 18th, and en camped before Monterey on the 19th instant. It was immediately discovered that the enemy occupied the town in force, and had added greatly to its strength by fortifying the approaches and commanding heights. A close reconnoissance was made the same evening by the officers of engineers on both flanks of' the town, and was determined, from the information procured, to oc cupy the Saltillo road in rear of the town, carrying, ifprac. ticable, the several fortified eminences in that direction. The second division of regular troops and a portion of Bmrioguniteerd.Gveonlueterws Worth accordingly Colone i iia Y. detached regiment un of add under on this service, at noon on the 20th. A ten inch mortar and two twenty-four pounder howit zers were placed in battery during the night to play upon the citadel and town. At seven o'clock these guns opened and continued a deliberate fire, which was returned. To create a still further diversion in fa vour of General Worth's movement, the remainder of the force, except a camp guard, was displayed around the centre and left of the town. The infantry and one battery of the Ist division made a strong demonstration on the left, and soon became so closely engaged that I moved forward the volunteer division under Major Gen. Butler to its support, leaving one battalion (Ist Ken tucky) to cover the mortar battery. A close contest then ensued, which resulted in the capture of one strong battery of four guns, which with some adjacent defences our troops now occupy. A garrison was left to occupy this position, and the remainder of the force returned to camp. In the meantime General Worth had engaged the enemy early in the morning, and defeated him with considerable loss. In the course of the day two of the batteries in rear of the town were carried 103 storming parties of the second division, and a third was carried this morning at dawn of day. The Bishop's Palace occupied the only remaining height in rear of the town, and is completely commanded by the works al ready carried. Gen. Worth's division occupies the Sal tillo road, and s cuts off all succour or support from the interior. I must reserve a more minute report of the important operations of yesterday until those of the dif. ferent Commanders are rendered, and also until a topo. graphical sketch of the country can be prepared. I regret to report that our successes have not b een ob tained without severe loss, to be attributed in a good measure to the ardour of the troops in pressing forward. No returns of killed and wounded have yet been received, nor is it known what corps of General Worth's division have suffered most. In the other portion of the army the Ist, 3rd and 4th regiments of infantry and regiment of Tennessee volunteers have sustained the greatest loss. The tollowing is believed to be an accurate list of the officers killed and wounded : KILLED. 2d Infantry—Brevet Ist Lieutenant J. S. Woods, (serving with Ist infantry.) 31 Infantry—Captain L. N.
