PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of :25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77i, it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4354 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 1314; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at shot t being 13 It* it. follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that tie exchange is 0.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. PROMENADE CONCERTS.—M.

In the moral changes which were thus manifest in the multitude, the grand characteristic 'of this age became more than ever apparent—that characteristic being none other than the combined struggle of the more intelligent members of the community for the moral, intellectual, and social advancement of the entire population. Having subjugated that monster evil Monopoly, by the existence of which the energies of the agricultural and commercial labourers had been so long and so grievously hampered, the popular in telligence turned with renewed hope and renovated strength to the destruction of, if possible, still greater difficulties. From endeavouring to promote the corporeal nourishment of the people, we have reverted to the still loftier endeavour to pro mote their spiritual and intellectual nourish ment. From striving to eradicate what may be called the commissariat abuses of the empire, we are now striving for the eradication of those still more gigantic and pernicious abuses which have mili tated against the morality of nations. We have struggled to render provisions accessible to all, accord ing to the beautiful ordinations of Nature; we are now struggling to render knowledge equally ac cessible, and to relieve the mind of the populace from a domination infinitely more irksome and productive of immeasurably greater mise ries than all the prerogatives of despotism or the repressive influences of feudality. Our recent triumph in the former struggle has only imparted a more hopeful energy to the latter. Where tens coalesced for the emancipation of commerce thousands are now happily combining for the enfranchisement of the popular intellect. All the invidious distinctions of class, all the diversities of political opinion, all the antagonism of religious factions, have failed in preventing the mass from uniting together for the instruction of the ignorant, and the reclamation of the criminal. If ever there was an opportune moment for the realisa tion of any national reform, the present is unques tionably the one for eliciting a system of education from the British Legislature. The whole mind of the community is filled with a conviction of what is requi site ; the whole heart of the community is beating with a generous anxiety for the alleviation of so much wretchedness; the whole vigour of the com munity is prepared for the achievement of this moral and intellectual reformation. Let us, men of Eng gland ! avail ourselves of this glorious and precious vantage-ground. Unanimity, earnestness, honesty, —with these our straggle must prove victorious ! The million will be elevated from its present abyss of moral debasement and mental degradation ; the hulks, and the prisons, and the penal settlements, and the madhouses, will be rendered to a consider able extent only the memorials of our former blind ness ; the rookeries of our great cities will be purged away, their degenerate inmates changed into a thriving and industrious body, and the treadmill and the gallows preserved as the symbols of a past and mistaken generation. Every fresh inspection of criminal statistics only demonstrates yet more vividly the necessity for some immediate and wholesale purgation. Often as the official reports of the Inspectors of Prisons have been issued, repeatedly as we ourselves have in vestigated the moral and intellectual wants of the poor, through the assistance of numerical calculations, and deeply as this great wound of centuries has been probed in preceding documents, we must acknow ledge ourselves to have been appalled by the picture unfolded to us by a letter addressed two months since to Sir GEORGE GREY, and written by Mr. WHITWORTH RUSSELL, an ecclesiastic, and one of the home Inspectors of Prisons. The amount of crime which has been detected in the quinquennial period, 1839 to 1843, is there calcu lated, and presents such a world of agony, wretched ness, and degradation as one would not have dared to have imagined. Some faint conception of th e horrible nature of these revelations may be formed from the single fact that, in 1843 alone, the number of commitments under summary convictions is estimated at no less than 73,196; and this awful amount is, moreover, exclusive of " all those who pay their fines or produce their required securities." Seventy-three thousand one hundred and ninety-six criminal offences in a single year ! and beyond this, of course, a vast amount of undetected crimes, besides the num berless vices and sins which are only recog nisable by religion and philosophy. An esti mate so horrible is enough to cause the most obdurate mind to shrink within itself with amazement. But when we perceive the depths of ignorance by which this criminality is invariably accompanied we have reason not merely for astonish ment, but for self-reproach and anguish. The cause and the effect are both reckoned in the tables of Mr. WinTwount RUSSELL'S remark able epistle to the Right honourable the Home Secretary. Of the effects we have already given some calculation. Of the causes, namely, the ignor ance of the criminals, we can afford a corresponding specimen. Out of the prisoners at assizes and sessions 901 per cent. are discovered to have received no instruction whatever, or something absolutely worse than total ignorance, while merely 9 per cent. were able to read and write tolerably. Out of the prisoners confined under sum mary convictions, 91.9 per cent. were found to have received little or no education, while only 4 per cent. could read and write well. With perfect justice may this intelligent and industrious Inspector of Prisons observe that "no statement can be stronger as to the state of ignorance amongst criminals, even as regards the most elementary instruction." Such then is the demon we have to vanquish before those crimes which cry to heaven for . vengeance in this country can be rendered less frequent, and the reprobate dregs of the population changed into upright and in dustrious citizens. With courage and perseverance and unanimity this great work may, however, be accomplished. Let us, therefore, emulate each other in this struggle for national love and philanthropic glory. Each day's accounts from Ireland fearfully corro borate the tale of misery and destitution existing in that unhappy land. We regret to say that the dis turbances are also spreading, and that the greatest excitement prevails in many districts, threatening in the most serious manner the peace and tranquillity of the entire nation. As yet the outbreaks and the acts of violence hare chiefly related to the food of the people. Bakers' shops, provision stores, and other places where edibles of any kind could be obtained, have been pillaged, and the transit of provisions through the country, for the purpose of exportation, has been forcibly stopped—indeed any removal of corn for any object whatsoever is watched with a jealous eye. The unaccountable attack on Lord STUART BE DECIES, a resident nobleman, affording extensive employment to the people on his extensive estates, appeared of a worse character and description than any of the other acts of violence it has been cur painful duty to record. We are happy, however, to find it stated, in a letter written by his Lordship, that none of his tenantry were guilty of taking a part in the disturbances which occurred upon the Oc casion in question, indeed he appears to acquit the people generally of any premeditated intention to in sult or attack him, and states his opinion that the real cause of the feeling excited against him arose from the outrageous conduct of a man, who had attempted ;o address the Court, and who had been removed ' therefrom by order of his Lordship. How unsettled must the state of the people be when any mischievous or badly disposed person can exasperate them to such a pitch as to induce them to attack and injure one of their best friends. In the meantime no exertions have been spared by the Government or the people throughout the greater part of the kingdom. Each Gazette contains a number of additional proclamations by the Lord- Lieutenant for the holding of extraordinary present ment sessions, the total number of which that have already been convened amount to no less than 236. A spirit of unanimity appears to have prevailed at almost all of those that have already been held. Religious and political differences have, in the great majority of instances, been laid aside, and the magis trates and ratepayers have contended in a generous rivalry as to who shall do most for their suffering and impoverished neighbours. The Roman Catholic clergymen have devoted themselves in the most praiseworthy manner to the preservation of the peace in their respective parishes; they have publicly harangued their flocks from the altars, have addressed them whenever a larger number than usual were assembled together, and have in every way used the vast influence they possess for the maintenance of order, and in de precation of any riot or turbulence. The committee of the Repeal Association have issued a most admir able address to the people, signed by Mr. Joint O'CoNNeLL, their chairman, imploring them in the most earnest and impressive manner to be patient— to break no law, to commit no violence, to plunge into no crime ; and they bear their testimony to the exertions made by the Government, the landowners, and all classes throughout the country for their relief. Wherever the public works have been commenced, and food provided in sufficient quantity, and so reasonable in price as to be within the reach of the people, there the tranquillity has been restored. In Youghal, which was lately in so fearful a state, the greatest order and decorum prevails ; handbills have been posted in all the public situations, and extensively circulated among the people, telling them what has and what will be done for them, pointing out the consequences of a conti nuance of the bread riots. They say " that if the mills are stopped and prevented working, if the mer chants are prevented from pursuing their trade and business, the people themselves must be the greatest sufferers," and " that no man will lay out his money in buying or bringing into store that which he is afraid will be pillaged from him. The miller won't grind, the baker won't make bread, the merchant won't bring Indian meal and Indian corn home, and then there will be no food at all for them; they will be out of bread and out of work ;" and they exhort them by every motive to keep the peace and discoun tenance disturbers. This is indeed a plain unvar nished statement, and cannot be without its effect upon so intelligent a people as the Irish. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant has also put forth a proclamation, announcing his firm determina tion to protect that lawful trade in the article of food, the complete security of which is essential to the subsistence of the people ; and also to prevent the labourers employed on public works from resist ing the arrangements which the officers of the Board of Works have made for task or piece -work, or from attempting to obtain by ♦iolence any higher rate of wages. Should such efforts be made, his Excellency threatens forthwith to stop the works in the district. This is perfectly right. It is essential to teach the people that they will gain nothing by intimidation and violence. strong feeling exists throughout the whole of Ireland in favour of an immediate meeting of Parlia ment, in order that the provisions of the Labour-rate Act may be modified, so as to permit the money about to be raised by the presentments under it to be applied to the development of the resources of the land, rather than in public works of an unproductive nature. A requisition, most influentially and respectably signed, calling a meeting of the landowners of Ire land, to be held in Dublin, for that purpose, is at this moment in course of signature. How fully and cordi ally we agree with the object of the requisitionists, will be well understood by our readers. We have repeatedly urged the adoption of such a course, and pointed out the extensive field for the valuable em ployment of the people, in the reclamation of the waste lands and the improved culture of those already in tillage. We are rejoiced to find that feeling so universally participated in by men of all varieties of political feeling. Such a de monstration as will most probably take place, where every Irishman may join, cannot fail in obtaining the desired object. We have already , expressed our conviction that, in a Parliament as ' sembled for such a purpose, no embarrassing motions would be brought forward; nor would the time of the Legislature be wasted by any unnecessary speeches. Of course, it would be quite impossible to restrict their deliberations to any specific, purpose, the good feeling of every individual Member must be re lied on, that he will not abuse the power he has, or seek to divert the attention of the Senate from the great object for their consideration, viz., the means by which the existing distress in Ireland can be most beneficially dealt with, and the labour of the people applied in such a direction as may be of per manent and lasting advantage to the entire empire. A rescript was issued by the Emperor of RUSSIA, on the 23d of August, conferring on Prince Woßox zow, the Governor• General of Southern Russia and the Caucasus, almost sovereign power within the limits of his government. The Governor-General, in addition to the rights and powers granted to him previously, is authorised to confer, for signal ser vices, the rank of officer up to that of captain exclu sively ; he can also distribute the order of St. George and St. Vladimir of the fourth class ; of St. Anne of the second, third, and fourth class ; the order of St. Stanislaus of the second and third classes, as well as swords of honour with the words "For bravery" in scribed on them. He is also authorised to promote and grant crosses on the representations of his officers. Madrid papers of the 30th have arrived. The Eco del Comercio having paid the fine ion posed upon it reappearel;on that day. The Heraldo announces officially that the two royal marriages are to be solemnized on the 10th of Octo ber. The Due DE MONTPENSIER is expected in Ma drid on the 6th. The same paper denies emphatically the statement made by the Tiempo, that the Spanish Cabinet had received from the British Government dispatches of the highest importance. The Bill authorising the Ministry to levy taxes had passed the Senate, General SERRANO alone dissenting. The officers of the garrison of Madrid, with General PEZUELA at their head, had waited on the QUEEN and the INFANTA to congratulate them on their approaching nuptials, According to the Espanol, SILVA CABRAL left Cadiz on the 23d for Paris, via Marseilles. Is he going to head-quarters for instructions ? The much-talked-of amnesty is to be upon a very limited scale, "in consequence," says the Heraldo, "of the machinations carried on abroad against the institutions and the throne itself." This is a dan gerous phrase, and must I?ave been inserted without the imprimatur of M. BRESSON. In reading it, the memory is naturally carried back to the intrigues of the Hotel de Courgelles. The English squadron passed by Ceuta on the 23d ult. on its way to Tetuan, when it came to anchor at the mouth of the river. On the morning of the 24th the squadron, after leaving two steamers off Tetuan, got under weigh, and shortly afterwards came between Mouseri and Bermeja, two leagues from Tetuan.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Government papers publish a telegraphic dis patch, announcing the arrival of the Dukes DE MONTPENSIER and D'AUMALE at Vittoria on the 3d. They left the next morning for Burgos, and had ar rived at Miranda when the last accounts left. The Journal des Davis states that M. GUIZOT would, in the course of the Monday, deliver to the Marquis of NORMANDY the answer of the French Cabinet to the protest of the British Government against the Montpensier marriage. The answer was agreed to at a meeting of the French Cabinet held on Sunday, and et which the KING himself presided. By far the most important article in any of these papers is the following from the Constitationnel, which may be considered not only as the manifesto of the great party which acknowledges M. TRIERS for leader, but an exposé on the part of that statesman of the intrigues and manoeuvres by which a pre carious entente cordiale, for promoting the personal interests of courts and of factions, has been substi tuted for the grand alliance of constitutional mo narchies, projected in 1830 by M. TRIERS and Lord PALMERSTON. We give the article in extensor— " Since the Revolution of 1830 the whole of our foreign policy has had for its basis and pivot the Eng lish alliance. At the moment when the emotion pro duced in Europe by our revolution separated us fi om the absolute Powers of the continent, reform drove Eng land into the liberal path. The two nations associated in common ideas ; they united from sympathy, and seemed to be drawing the world towards improvement and freedom. The Quadruple Alliance, favourable to the establishment of a constitutional Governmeat in Spain, was one of the first fruits of this happy accordance. But since then, by an effect contrary to all the hopes which had been entertained, the relations between France and England have scarcely been anything else than vio lent ruptures, followed by dubious reconciliations, and the Liberal cause has gained nothing from this lutte intime between the two Governments. It is not without interest to examine the conduct of our Government, and, above all, of the men who are now conducting our affairs with Great Britain. Four times since 1830 the uncertain union between the two countries has been broken. In 1836, by our refusal to intervene in Spain ; in 1840, by the Egyptian policy adopted by the present Cabinet, and which M. Guizot undertook to represent ; in 1844, by the conquest in Otaheite over Mr. Pritchard; in 1846, by the precipitate marriage of the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta of Spain. In 1836 the Whigs were, as now, Mi nisters of England. Liberal politicians, enterprising statesmen, they proposed to France to execute by a frank and bold intervention on the other side of the Pyrenees the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance. It was an admir able occasion for consolidating at one stroke the revolu tion in Spain, and the liberal alliance between France and England. The throne of Isabella would have been firmly fixed ; the Spaniards would have been saved from eight or ten years of agitation by civil wars, riots, sanguinary executions, and exhaustion. Our Cabinet, however, re fused to interpose. Quite opposite to the English Cabi net, it was afraid of acting, and revealed how slight was its inclination towards liberal ideas. Spain was aban doned, and Lord Palmerston denounced as a blunderer, a dangerous supporter ofrevolutions, an enemy to the repose of nations, one whom Europe ought to mistrust. We can not discover the advantages of this conduct on the part of our Cabinet, nor any right we derived from it to the grati tude of Europe. At all events, we have been obliged to evacuate Ancona and leave Luxemburgh to her fate. Ne vertheless our relations with England were' renewed with greater strength, but soon afterwards the qiiestion of the East put the alliance to a now trial. The Whig Ministers were again under an illusion ; they proposed to our Govern. ment to combine the fleets of France and England that they might together force the Dardanelles, and reconcile conjointly the interests of the Sultan of Constantinople and the Pacha of Egypt. Instead of entering into this project, which might have had such great and happy consequences, Francs and the Chamber of Deputies were precipitated into a policy exclusively Egyptian, which separated us not only from England, but from all Europe. They were afraid to act; they found that they would be engaged in a struggle which required the greatest energy and every ettart. Through pusillanimity they became rash. But this did not endure. Everybody knows the result of this second rupture with England; that M. Guizot brought us humiliation from England— that the !Mats altered its tone and craved pardon from those whom it had insulted. Soon after this, in order to rebind the alliance it had severed, our Ministry signed the treaty of the right of visit. The English Ministry was no longer the same. The Tories had come into power. Did our Cabinet make any fundamental change in its conduct? It had previously failed on two great occa sions to render the alliance fruitful and glorious. Did it even succeed in rendering the entente cordiale a means of peace and benefit to the two countries? Very far from it. Scarcely two years had passed away when it found means to break with England a third time. With the miserable intent of dazzling the French nation and the Chambers, it went out to conquer the Marquesas and Otaheite. It had to contend with the religious passions of the English; we have no need to recal the consequences. Sir Robert Peel demanding in full Par liament a reparation ; the peace of the world placed in danger; three disavowals, namely that of Admi ra l Dupetit Thouars, th at of M. D'Aubigny, and that of Captain Bruat; an indemnity demanded and paid; the partial evacuation of the Society Islands, which is being at this moment effected. Since this our Cabinet, in in order to revive the nearly extinct entente cordiale, signed a disgraceful treaty at Tangiers, and covered itself with ridicule in the Texas. At last comes 1846, and with it the hasty marriage of the Duke de Mont pensier, causing a fourth rupture. In this we find all the characteristics of the Ministerial policy, viz., a dread of undertaking bold enterprises. Spain applied for the hand of the Duke de Montpensier for Queen Isabella; for three years our Government obstinately persisted in a refusal. Pusillanimous temerity! It now braves all the inconveniences which would have attended the marriage with the Queen, without obtaining any of its advantages. It sacrifices once more, and perhaps for ever, the English alliance, in order to give to the Duke de Montpensier the heiress to the throne of Spain, with the probable chance of seeing Queen Isabella, by becom ing a mother, deprive the Infanta of all hopes of suc ceeding to her inheritance. Like those prudent calcu lators who violate the laws of their country just so far as not to place themselves in the hands of justice, our Cabinet excites a lively animosity between two powerful nations. But it is perfectly content, if war be not the immediate consequence of its conduct. There is a re mark which is truly applicable to all the important acts of our Government, viz., that their appearances are always widely different from their reality. Appearance is for noise and glorification—reality is paltry and miserable. In 1840, the language of M. Guizot, of his friends, of his journals, was bravado, and often insult towards England—but at the bottom there was nothing but fear. The object of the enterprise at Otaheite was to make the country believe that the French Ministers were resolved to brave England, and divide with -her the empire of the seas; the positive re su lt was t h e onerous conquests of sterile rocks, the disputed protectorate of a few savages, a considerable ex p en di ture of lives and a very little h onour ga i ned. To-day, talks to the country, it says that if money,the Ministrynd the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier is glorious and a happiness for France ; that the policy of Louis XIV. is re-established ; that Spain be comes almost a province of France, and that the Pyre nees no longer exist. But if it turns towards England it becomes obsequious, it speaks of the Spanish marriage as merely a family union, and says that the Prince and his young wife will come into F rance , an d there wait the pregnancy —that, in fact, th ere i s no change in Spain. Whence comes this double language? that the first be longs to appearances, and the second to reality—only in the inverse to the inventions of the Ministry—the ap pearances irritate England, and the reality leaves France cool and indifferent. In fact, the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier is nothing more than a family matter, which will in no degree augment the influence of France, which may possibly compromise her, and which, in the mean time, thanks to the ability of our negotiators, de stroys our alliance with England. Such have been the inconsistencies of the policy of our Government and its fruits. This simple emposure of facts will serve us for a unique answer to those who pretend that they have done a great deal and compromised nothing." The Austrian Ambassador presented to M. GulzoT a protest against the Montpensier marriage, couched in the same terms as the protest presented by the Marquis of NORMANDY. This would seem to con firm the truth of the following statement which ap pears in the National . "It is affirmed that another protest, more energetic than the first, has been presented at Madrid by Mr. Bulvver, and that this idtinzatum is a th rea t en i ng one. It is added that England has succeeded in drawing the Northern Cabinets into the same path. We repeat these reports, because they come from persons who pre tend to be well informed, but we cannot vouch for any thing on the subject." La Presse declares that General CABRERA was still in London, on the 4th of October, which city he had never quitted since his first arrival. General PoLo, brother-in-law to CABRERA, his aide-de-camp CHIN CILLA, and another superior officer of the old Carlist army of Arragon, have been arrested within the last few days at Carpentras. Two other Spanish refugees, Abbe MASANAS and Senor CoLEI, have also been arrested at Avignon. No attempt had been made on Saturday and Sun day to renew the bread riots in the Faubourg St. Antoine. We stated on Monday, that there had been some , thing like an emeute at St. Omer, in conse quence of the National Guard being forbidden to carry their arms at the inauguration of the statue of the Duke of ORLEANS. The troops were called out, and, partly by their exertions, and partly by a present from the Duchess of ORLEANS of 6,000 f., tranquillity was completely restored. lacird BROUGHAM left Paris for Cannes on Sunday. By a recer.t ordonnance M. Pichon, Consul-Gene ral Charge d'Affaires of France at Monte Video, is named Consul-General at Smyrna, in place of Vis count de Segur. Montaigne, retired. M. Devoize, French Consul at Damascus, is named Consul-Gene ral at Monte Video in place of M. Pichon ; M. Vat tier de Bonneville, Consul of France at Cairo, suc ceeds M. Devoize; and M. Benedetti takes the place of M. Vattier de Bonneville. By the same ordon nance Count T_Tlyssee de Ratti-Menton, formerly Con sul at Canton, is appoint e d F re nch Consul at Cal cutta, a post lat e l y created. Count R ATTI M ENTON, the newly-appo i nted French Consul at Calcutta, is the person who, as French Consul in Syria, made hi mse lf so notorious by ex - , citing against th e J ews that furious persecution, the news of which, some four years since, filled all Europe with horror, ead whi c h was only put an end to by the personal interposition of Sir MOSES MON. TEFIORE with the Turkish authorities, and by his proving to demonstration the -utter falsehood of all the charges which the Catholic population of Syria, excited by Count RATTI-MENTON, had brought against them, PAkIS touasx, MONDAY.-The market opened with some firmness at the closing prices of Saturday ; but towards the end of the day it grew rather weaker, and at bell-ringing left off rather lower :-Threes at 82f. 85c., and Fives at 117 f. 85c.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) William Blake, who describe d himself as an "artist but who had more of the appearance of a costermonger, was charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a trunk and its contents, consisting of various articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mrs. Allister, a lady residing in Alfred-place, Bedford-square. It appeared that about a month ago Mrs. Allister em ployed the prisoner, who was in the habit of doing porter's work, to carry a box containing some clothes, &c., from Alfred-place to Titchfield-street, for doing which she was to give him Is. Two charwomen, who were working for Mrs. Allister, were to go with him, they also having parcels to carry. The women went on first, the prisoner following, but when they got to Titch.. field-street they found that he was not with them. Neither the prisoner nor the box were seen or heard of until yesterday, when he was found in a public-house. The prisoner said that at the very moment when, as Mrs. Allister had stated, he was in Alfred-place, Bed ford-square, he was, in fact, at the model prison, Pen - tonville, where he expected to get " a job." He had been at the King's Arms, Tottenham-court-road, every night, and had acted as pot-boy there in the absence of the regular pot-boy, who was ill. Mr. Henry remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Peter Hogan, a carpenter, living at 8, Angel-court, Great Windmill-street, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing 300 sovereigns. Bridget Walsh said she was a widow, living at 1, Angel-court, Great Windmill-street, and had 300 sove reigns folded up in separate packets of paper, and placed inside a box. She first missed her money on Monday night, immediately after the defendant had been in her room. He is her first cousin, living at his sister's, next door, and well knew she had the money. He had been in the habit of entering her room when she was out, and on Monday she had left her keys behind her. One of the police force in plain clothes said he had taken the man into custody, and produced in Court 2181. of the money, 1701. of which had been found in his hat, and the rest about his pockets. A green silk purse found on him was identified by the complainant as her property, and as having been in the box with the money. Mr. Hennwicx—What have you done with the rest of the money ? Defendant--It is all my own property. The policeman said the defendant had purchased a large quantity of wearing apparel. They had not been able to discover any more of the money as yet, but might if time were given them. Mr. HARD - WICK remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next. Hogan, before leaving the court, demanded some of his own money, that he might employ an attorney ; but this, of course, was refused him by the Magistrate. CLERKEN WELL.THIS DAY.) A young girl about 20 years of age in the service of Robert Latimer, an itinerant fish vender, was charged with robbing him of 21/. The prosecutor's wife stated that the prisoner had been in her service nearly four years, and latterly was about being married. She (witness) had 21/., which consisted of the whole amount of her savings for a length of time, and this she always hid in a particular spot in her bed, and yesterday on going, according to her daily custom, to look after her treasure, she found she had been robbed of it. Her suspicions immediately fell upon the prisoner, as she had seen her in company that day with the person to whom she was about being married, and other circumstances having transpired, which in duced her to believe she had given the money to this person, she was taken into custody. Constable 106 G, stated that when he took the pri soner into custody she at first denied having seen the man alluded to, or that she had taken the purse, but subsequently that she had given it to him. The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, denied having made any such statement to the constable and protested her innocence. Mr. COOMBE remanded her for a week, in order that the man to whom the money was given might be traced by the police. WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Inspector Grarestock, of the G division of police, ap plied to Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, under the following circumstances:— The Inspector stated that an elderly man, named Tatham, had lately taken up his abode at No. 2, Dodd's place, Old-street, St. Luke's, and, whom it was stated, had previously come into possession of 2,000/.-2501. of which he had either about him, or in the house. There were only three houses in the above place, and, within the last few days, one of them had been taken ; the old man was to be seen at the window during the whole of the day watching the manoeuvres of his new neighbours. This appeared to give great umbrage to the latter, who, it would appear, in consequence, sought every means to annoy the old gentleman, and he applied to him (the in spector) at the station house, and what was thought necessary was done. Last evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the old gentleman again waited upon him at the station, when, after addressing himself thus, " So then you have not thought proper to attend to my com plaint," he pulled out a pistol, and pointing it at him (the inspector), ho added, "I know what murder, and manslaughter, &c., means, but remember that you are amenable for the consequences." Hejhen hastily re placed the pistol in his pocket, and hurriedly withdrew. Thinking it was not safe, however, that such a weapon should be in the possession of an individual whose mind was evidently nor exactly pellucid, he sent to his house Sergeant Hammond, 5 G, who, on his arrival, perceived lying upon the table two pistols. The sergeant imme diately took possession of the weapons, and notwith standing there was a great objection to this course of procedure on the part of the old gentleman, the sergeant conveyed them to the station-house. From subsequent inquiries, he (the inspector) found that Mr. Tatham had purchased the pistols during the day for 125., as also some percussion ca p s , b ut that with all his eneavours he could not procure any powder, although he had been to every shop in the neighbourhood which professes to sell that article. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the inspector) —Do you think, when he pointed the pistol at y ou, that he intended you any personal injury? Inspector Gravestock—No, your Worship, but merely to show what he intended to oto those whom he perhaps imagined was about to rob him. He is in waiting. The old gentleman was now ushered into the Court by order of the Magistrate, when, in answer to ques tions put to him by the latter, he said that he had re cently come up from the country, where he had received 1,3001., some of which he certainly kept in the house. He had formerly been in the colliery line, but of late years had lived upon his income. He had no doubt that the parties he complained of intended to have robbed him. The Inspector here said that the house in which the old gentleman resided was a most wretched hovel. Mr. BRc UGHTON advised the old man, if he were de termined to live in such an abode, not to keep his mo ney at home, but to put it in some bank, and then no person would feel desirous of robbing him. The old gentleman, who appeared to acquiesce in this, then retired. DEATH OF SIR HENRY RYCROFT, BART: Sir Henry Rycroft, Bart., Knight Harbinger to the Queen, expired on the 3d instant at Brighton, in his 81st year. He was the second son of the Rev. Sir R. Rycroft, first baronet, by the (laughter of the Rev. R. Stonehewer, LL.D., rector of Houghton-le-Spring, Durham. In 1816 the deceased was appointed Knight Harbinger to the Queen, receiving at the time the honour of Knighthood. The residence of the deceased was at Bolney, Sussex, in which county the family have resided many years. SHOCKING ACCIDENT WITH A GUN.—Yesterday, an accident, of a very distressing character, occurred to Mr. George Evans, a linendraper in Tottenham Court road, whilst returning from a shooting excursion near Rochester. He had been to a place called Ho, near Rochester with a friend, where the had been spending the day shooting, and whilst stepping into a boat for the purpose of returning home, the gun, which was-impru dently left loaded and cocked, exploded, discharging the contents into his right arm, which was entirely shattered. He was immediately carried ashore to the nearest sur geon's, where the wounds were temporarily dressed, but such was the nature of the injury, that it was deemed necessary to remove him to Guy's Hospital. The limb is in such a shattered state, that it is feared the arm must be amputated. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A FEMALE AT LONDON BRIDGE.—Yesterday afternoon, an elderly, respectably dressed individual, who afterwards gave her name and address as Elizabeth Brett, 10, Crown -court, 'Westmin ster, jumped into the river off the London-bridge Steam boat Pier, whilst apparently waiting the arrival of a steamer. The assistance of boat and Waterman was very speedily obtained, but before she could be reached the steersman of a below-bridge steam-tug, called the Rover, threw out a hook attached to a rope, by means of which he caught hold of her dress, and hauled her on board, ap parently dead, but by the means of the usually applied restoratives she ultimately recovered. ESSEX LABOURERS' FRIEND SOCIETY.--Yesterday afternoon a numerous meeting of the friends of the agri cultural labourer met at the White Hart Inn, Brent w, o I, to advocate the claims of the Labourers' Friend Society, established two years since in that place. John Gurney Fry, Esq., presided. P r i or to these proceed . ings a show took place au adjacent field, where many of the farmers of the neighbourhood were present, not withstanding the inauspicious state of the weather. The animals and esculents shown were of the best quality, and much praiso was awarded to the parties who attended , the exhibition. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 500 American for export, and 500 on speculation. The market is firm, and there is a tendency to advance. The following may prove of interest at the present moment : " The cotton year closing on the first of this month— it now appears that the crop of 1845.46, as indicated by the receipts at the shipping ports, amounts to 2,073,529 bales, in comparison with 2,394,503 bales of the crop 1844-45, being a difference of 323,974 bales; the amount of the crop of the State of Texas, 27,008 bales, being added this year, makes the crop of the United States now 2,100,537 bales. This crop was generally esti mated at 2,400,000 bales up to the Ist January last, in consequence of the healthy state of the plant during the whole growing season —a, late frost —and the picking season being the longest and most favourable on record, and, in fact, it was only in February last that the estimates at New Orleans and Mobile, of the best informed persons, were re duced to 2,100,000 bales, the receipts at those ports fall ing tar short of the nominal growth. The quantity taken for home use this last season stands at 422,597 bales against 389,006 last year, and 346,744 the year before. Of the present crop, the quantity received at the shipping ports is about 300 bales, against 8,700 bales last year. Iu all remarks during the growing season, we have referred to the backward state of the plant, and to the excessive wet and unpropitious weather, and lat terly to the estimated injury by the army worm and the boll worm ; of the latter the complaints have ceased to any large extent, but in consequence of the first, the picking proceeds very slowly, and it is evident that the growing crop will, under any circumstances, and even if frost should not appear till November, be under an average one." At the sale of railway shares yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, a moderate amount of business was done. The market seemed collapsed, and every price was lower, with a tendency downwards, and an indis position to deal at any price. The following are a few of the principal sales:— Boston, Newark, and Sheffield £0 15 0 East Indian ... ....... Leicester and Bedford Direct Northern 1 10 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension .....

There is no news of interest in them beyond that which has already appeared. The new Stock and Share Exchange has, since it was opened for business, on Monday last, been the resort of a large number of the members of the Hall of Com merce. Not being strictly limited to those engaged in monetary dealings, the list of members has, within these few days, considerably increased. There is a re gulation that each member deposit 501., or find two se curities of 501., available in case of default, and the annual subscription is fixed at 10 guineas. The style of the building, which is in Old Broad-street, as well as the arrangements made by Mr. Moxhay for the convenience of the members, seem to have given entire satisfaction to the committee of management. The Consol Market is rather more firm this morning. The current prices for Money and the Account are 95*. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is fully 188. Bank Stock was taken at 2loi for the Account. The only transactions in the Foreign Market to• day have been in Brazilian at 85, in Mexican at 25, the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 42*, Russian at 110 f, Spanish at 2q, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 95*.
