"•-• 'FI.O ' • etantin,a mcmx LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1852. JACK. slew the giant BLUNDEUBOBE. Why, there fore, should not Mr. MACAULAY succumb to the prowess of Lord MAIDSTONE ? Why, indeed ! It is only necessary to draw the sword of irony, and to take the shield of impudence, and to " lay on" with the audacity of MACBETH—shouting " damned be he who first cries hold, enough" —and down must come toppling the colossus of modern literature. People have before now been made to sleep soundly enough under the influence of a few hexameters. Why, then, should not the historian be laid low by an abusive letter—like the order-book of Mr. MOULD, the undertaker, carried to its long home in the iron safe by his children. Acting upon this notion, Viscount MAIDSTONE has forthwith penned a com munication, addressed in the vulgarist spirit, to T. B. AlecauLay, Esquire, M.P. for Edinburgh, instead of to the Right Hon. THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY, the ex-Paymaster of the Forces under the lVhig Government. As well might the latter retaliate by a note directed to GEORGE JAMES FINCR-HATTON, Esquire, commonly called Viscount MAIDSTONE, in posse Earl of NOTTINGHAM, Baron Firma of Daven try, and Earl of WINCHELSEA. But the noble cor respondent is not content with twitting the statesman with that Esquire, which has in reality long since lapsed into the Right Honourable. He delicately reminds Mr. MACAULAY to his face that he has be fore now been designated a " book in breeches." Havin g taken upon himself the forlorn hope of an onslaught upon the elected of the capital of Scotland, Lprd MAIDSTONE appears in truth to have adopted as h,:town war -shout the rallying cry of the Bloomers, To the B reec h !" Th ere f ore, natura l ly enough, he To to mind the circum s ta nce that hi s an t agon i s t Duke b e termed uk e of a "book in breeches,"just as the Nv.inaarierrox was called the other day " a PITT on , sPoken o f abs the or as D oc t or J OHNSON was Sou layua, _ walkin g Encyclopaedia," or as Mrs. our ingeni ous 1 %, once upon a time, depicted by Goddes s o f wornan i r linrcr as a sort of scientific but " by little icno ood wi a , attended not by little Loves the epithet quoted by ViaeB"l" tollllt MAIDSTONE is in any We don't know that way so discreditable that that gentleman talks: . lalci33 "/- It implies g "li ke a hook"—a propensity some"whtahtemaoarYeincorn. by the way, than writing books in the 1- t the illustri mendable, conversation.

Tne "Esquire" is not enough. Th e "book ;It breeches" is not enough. There must be something g triore tosatisfy the cravings of" the stomach of hisgreat reveng3." What shall 1, Let us see--Oh . there is a misprint in the " History of England." JAMBS GRAHA M is spoken of, inadvertently, by the annalist, as JOHN GRAHAM. That surely gives room for something like an accusation ! It reads to us rather like the sorrow s of poor Tom Hoon's veteran, who found on his return from the wars, that bia lady love " Had got another BEN Whose Christian name was Jogx." Here, however, Mr • MACAULA Y has had the atrocity to mention Another Joiza whose cluistip name was THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN'ING, NOVEIVHiIit 6, t S 62,, JAMES. And so the Lord Viscount MAIDSTONE puts spurs to his hobbihorsical fury, and endeavours to administer what ALLAN RAMSAY calls a " lounder ing lick," in one of the scenes of his " Gentle Shep herd." No gentle shepherd, howbeit, is this—what though be profanely insinuates a resemblance between himself and DAVID, the Royal Prophet. He speaks to T. B. MACAULAY, Esquire, as one who has recently addressed his "Philistines at Edinburgb,"—thereby drawing a comparison between his antagonist and GOLIATH. Instead, however, of collecting pebbles in the Terybinthine valley, the DAVID of 71, South Aud ley- s treet, appears to have picked up a few potsherds and perhaps a little mud with them, out of the pellucid current of Fleet-ditch, and to have slung them under handed at the form of his giant opponent. In his very remarkable communication, Viscount MAID STONE talks of taking a hint from the clown at Drury-lane Theatre. Perhaps it may so happen that he may, on the contrary, give a hint to Master MOTLEY for the purposes of the forthcoming panto mime. And thus the fabrication of hexameters, and the compiling of an Arabian epic, and the scribbling of scolding epistles, may be altogether eclipsed by the circumstance of the patrician pen-mender throwing out some valuable suggestions to enhance the fun of a harlequinade. A patrician can it be, whose letter we have been perusing ? Rather is not this the manner of one familiar with the phraseology of the counter and the dialect of the shopocracy ? Listen ! " Give your orders, Mr. MACAULAY ! They shall be punctually attended to !" Oar dear friend, RICHARD SWIVELLER, spoke somewhat after the same fashion, but it was while showering blows innumerable upon the devoted head and shoulders of Mr. DANIEL QUILP, of Tower-wharf. It was then Dicx inquired— " Will you have any more ?"—capering round his victim in a kind of a war-dance invented for the occasion adding, " Don't say ' No,' if you'd rather not. A large assortment always on hand. Country orders attended to with punctuality and dispatch." Not thus does Viscount Maidstone address his assailant, the representative of the City of Edinburgh. Accepting for the sake of argument the correctness of the Emperor NAPOLEON'S sneer at us that we were little better than a nation of shopkeepers, we can't feel much surprised when we hear even a nobleman talking so much in the tones of TITMOUSE, and in the style of a linendraper—saying, " Give your orders, Mr. MACAULAY ! They shall be punctually attended to." The phrase might be redeemed by its having the faintest pretension to drollery. But not so—there is not a quiver of the lip except of rage, not a sparkle of the eye except of malignity. The truth is Lord MAIDSTONE was in too much of a passion to be witty. Instead of poking fun he could only snort blaster. "In the meantime," saith he—with the stride of BOBADIL, and the swagging strut of Bona- BASTES—" Gare a qui me touche." The motto is that inscribed upon the iron crown of CHARLEMAGNE, and is adopted now, we presume, as the crowning irony of Lord MAIDSTONE. Surely Mr. MACAULAY is tolerably well qualified to retort by his own national motto—that of the thistle browsed upon by asinus—" Nemo me impune lacessit." We have a faint recollection of his having once stretched an " epic poet" on the wrack of criticism in the Edinburgh. We rather fancy acuter agony was never inflicted by the thumbscrew, the scavenger's daugh ter, the wheel, the weights, the garotte, the bow string, or the bastinado. If we remember rightly he pilloried one school of verse as " the Turkey -carpet style of poetry." If we are not much mistaken he ventured even to brand the tenderer passages of SOUTHEy—some with indelible disgust, and some with inextinguishable ridicule—by complaining that all his heroes loved " like seraphim or like cattle"—not like human creatures. He has done terrible things with other men before now in his capacity as the most remorseless of reviewers—dealing about him right and left with a classical bowie-knife and a scholarly tomahawk. There are author's now living of whom it may be said in a literary sense, that he has slit their noses, and cut off their ears, and branded their cheeks, and bored through their tongues. Yet the writer of " hexameters," the Lord Viscount MAIDSTONE, rises valiantly as becomes a descendant of Jamas GRAHAM, of Dundee, and solemnly ad dresses this warning to the Right Hon. THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY :—" Recollect !" he exclaims, " this is not the first occar:on upon which Scotchmen of your station awl pretensions have had cause to regret an unprovoked Onslaught Upon Englishmen of minc." Now, either this means nothing at all, or it means that Lord MAIDSTONE likens himself to Lord BYRON. A-hem ! There is a refrain somewhere to one of the songs of BERANGER— " Co•co-cockerico I France remet ton schako— Cockerico ! Cockerico !" It means simply a cry we may often hear at the dawning of day, but not very often (fortunately) at the dawning of a career—a cry represented by our lexicographers by an ingenious word of five syllables— " Cock-a-doodle-doo I" And so Lord MAIDSTONE likens himself to Lord BXRoN—looking (like the moon) "so modest all the while." And so closes a magnificent fanfaronzde with the sublime " Gare a qui me touche 1' And so endeth this "bout"—not, remember, between the big•endians and the little•endians, but of MAID STONE versus MACAULAY L illiput against I3re.b dignag. We can scarcely conceive the constitution of a public company possessing stronger claims for public support, or more deserving of encouragement, than that of " Tull WANDLE WATER AND SaWERA.G E COMPANY," whether considered in reference to the ' vast advantages which it offers to the inhabitants of South London, or as a merely commercial speculation of ample remunerative promise. Its objects, whi:ch ' are the complete purification of a river, even in fits present state, purer than any other tributary to Me Thames, by a system of drainage and sewerage, re productive in itself, and the cheap, abundant, and um ceaging supply of water, at high service, througho u t the southern districts of London, are at once most legitimate and praiseworthy. Every disinterested person must now be convinced of the utter impossi bility of rendering the water of the Thames benefi cially available for general domestic purposes or fiat the support of human life. It may, however, not be uninteresting to consider the causes of the extraordi dary deterioration of a river, once deemed as pure Its any on the banks of which an important city was erected. When, in the latter end of the sixteenth century, , the first works for the supply of the metropolis w',th water were erected at London Bridge, the stre nn from above was comparatively limpid and wholesoi ne, whilst below the "Pool" was a vast lake, that, at :the ebb tide, became almost as pregnant with life- best° w ing influences as the downward flow of " the silvi winding Thames," that then replaced the part ial eflilax of the receding sea. But, in the course of 1,70 years, the entire'character of the original element h is been changed. In specific gravity, once among tb e highest of moving waters, the water of the Thal/RN; is now perhaps more ponderous than any other th titt could be produced. It was the most pellucid a; ad pure ;it is the most opaque and polluted —t he dirtiest, darkest, muddiest. For ages it mas the healthiest of Nature's bounteous gifts; b at thoughtless, if not ungrateful, man has grad ;z -any, generation after, generation, converted t: he sanitary blessing into an infectious curse. Dow, a wards to its confluence with the ocean, and upw; try is to its sources, the virulence extends —every yes r adding to the baneful evils to which the Thames ; subjected, heightening their intensity, and multiply ing their destructive effects. L purity of the st ream could b e preserve d ? for a moment hope that the originalden with the filthy But how cou ld it b e otherwise?

There streets courts, and m ews, and alley s , l anes, and the scavenger s ' l eavi send) mingled w i t h the rain -water, ngs fol: inky, and putrid. There, hourly, are poured irho it the offals of the i acourings o f the, ;,_. food, the rincings of tho raiment, the habitations, the cleansings of the hospitals, and the still more disgusting waste of more than two millions of human beings. There, comes with the turn of the tide, the renewed visitations of these sickening inflic tions, rendered more pestilential by the bilge -water and other abominations of whole fleets of foreigners, Indiamen, fruit vessels, coasters, colliers, convict hulks, fishing-boats, and dung-barges I Besides all this, we have countless steamers of all classes com pleting the horrible mixture, more deadly than ever compounded in the witch's cauldron, working up the fever-feedings and death-draughts, dashing hither and thither, washing abroad the floating putridities at high water, and stirring up the fetid mass at low, and thus finally accomplishing the modern application of the “ ancient crystal stream," by actually con verting it into the common sewerage of London— making it the "cloaca maxima" of the metropolis of the world. Nor can any efforts of human ingenuity restore the Thames to its pristine putrity. Something might be accomplished by the expenditure of many millions of money, and the unceasing devotion of some 20 or 30 years to the Augean labour. The only effective plan would be, the interception, by a judicious and well devised system of drains and sewers, of every contri butive impurity up to the very springs from which it flows ; with the consequent discharge of the aggre gated sewerage below any existing outlet of the kind, and the reconstruction of every local system of sewers, from the smallest township on the banks of the river, to the great emporium of commerce included. This is the very principle proposed to be adopted with reference to the river Wandle, by the New Company. From Croydon, Carshalton, and where ever else the springs constituting the sources of that river rise, down to Wandsworth, and the confluence of the Wandle with the Thames, it is intended to con struct an entirely new system of drainage and sewer age—to collect the proceeds at various eligible points, to be disposed of for agricultural and horticultural purposes, and, having thus benefited the inhabitants of each town in its course, by providing them with the sanitary means demanded at their hands by the Board of Health, and brought along a pure and perfectly healthy stream to Wandsworth, participated in by all in its passage thither—to convey it in an unpolluted state to reservoirs at different levels, rendering the alti tude of 300 feet above Trinity high-water mark, and thence to distribute it, at constant high service, throughout the entire district of South London, affording an unlimited supply to the topmost floor of any building in the locality. In other words, at the most moderate charges, and in the mode above de scribed, to supply abundantly with water—and that the best by any means attainable, as is testified on the highest and most disinterested authorities—a commu nity comprising in round numbers the occupiers of 85,000 houses,of which scarcely more than one-half are now intermittingly, sparingly, and imperfectly served, at very high rates, with compound extracts of the Thames in various stages of impurity, from the de. ceptively clear to the more palpably thickened mix ture of a repulsive liquid, abounding with living ani malcules and the graduated decompositions of the dead of all descriptions. We might multiply proofs in favour of the propo sition almost without end. We might illustrate in detail the natural causes of the superiority of the wa ter—the manifest advantages of constant supply at high service—the beneficial results, in every respect, that must accrue to the inhabitants throughout the whole course of operations, whether of conservation or distribution—and the moral as well as social im provement that must ensue ; but neither time nor space will permit. We may, however, adduce some tangible evidence of the highly remunerative nature of such undertakings, assuming that, if the worst and most inadequately suppled article is extremely profit able, much more so should be the best of its kind, furnished in almost unlimited quantities. The following, then, is the nearest approximation to the truth attainable by the public of the gains made by the existing companies in the Southern District. Their gross annual rental for the impure and restricted supply exceeds 78,000/, by far the greater portion whereof may be set down as clear gain ; and this, be it remembered, on a capital of about 160,0001. On the north side, we find that the original stock of the New River Company was about 200,0001., which, by the yearly investment of a portion of the dividends, has been increased to the present fixed capital of 1,600,000/.!! The original 1001 share, therefore, now represents 7501—and a single share was recently sold for 17,000/. ! Such results must prove sufficiently enceuraging to those making investments in the Wandle Water and Sewerage Company. It is true that such inordinate profits as those above referred to are not contemplated by the Company—but there is every reason to be lieve that the maximum dividend now sanctioned by the Legislature—namely, TEN PEE CENT. (!) will speedily be attained. We, therefore, now cordially congratulate the promoters and shareholders on these auspicious prospects, and also the community on the speedy prospect of obtaining so great a boon, which must be regarded as of immense local, if not of national, importance ; and, in conclusion, unhesitat ingly and unequivocally express our thorough confi dence in the ultimate and complete success of the undertaking. The Irish Religious Equality meeting came off d* on the 28th, in the Rotunda, at Dublin, and all things considered, it was certainly much better than pro mise. The resolutions were at least quite as mode rate as Protestants would have adopted under similar circumstances. Indeed, we should say they might be compared advantageously with many which Pro testant rtzyeegtou73 settling t d thh e ee l sole only sy h h e m r c e associations and allia nces h ave p asse d i n ity, e . h a u n r T s c h h w e cyaehss question i e o r nt coulde o n ntohtreh enwould - s produce content; that the Irish Church Establishment was a badge of conquest, a legalized robbery of Catholics, and that it led the Catholics to view the Government which upheld it as hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom; the laws which pro hibit ecclesiastical titles (that was the meaning ), which require peculiar oaths and te s t s , or which ex clude from public offices on the ground of religious faith, ought to be repealed at once. Such was the substance of the manifesto voted at the meeting ; and it would certainly be difficult for any with old - going English Liberal to • - old his assent from such reasonable propositions. Moreover, the speaking was for the most part quite in harmony with the fairness of the resolu tions. The Chairman, Mr. G. H. MOORE, M.P., in opening the discussion, totally repudiated " the impu tation that they desired ascendancy," and those who followed him, even the Rev. Mr. QtrADE, P.P., did the same. Mr. Sergeant Sum adverted to the case of the Mamie's, and denounced in strong language the conduct of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. "If it was true that this Prince had caused a man and a woman to be imprisoned for two years for reading the Bible in private, he would say, as a Roman Catholic, that none of his co-religionists could justify such a proceeding. (Cheers.) As a Catholic, by birth and education, he would declare that the allega tion of the English press, that the conduct of this contemptible despot was consonant with the senti ments of the Catholics of Ireland, was a foul calumny. (Hear, hear.) If after the efforts of illustrious Protestants in the cause of civil and re. in that Conference ligious liberty, no man stood up of the Catholics of Ireland to denounce the conduct of the Duke of Tuscany, they would be deeply dis graced. (Hear, hear.)" We heartily rejoice that Catholics are found to assert such sentiments,and prove themselves British freemen, in an assembly of Catholics ; still more at the cordial way in which the Sergeant's remarks were received ; and yet more at the awkward manner in which Mr. LUCAS, M.P., who in his paper, the Tablet, had openly defended the Duke, was virtually compelled to apologize. He could only affect to deny the facts, which, however, the Duke himself does not deny. Perhaps it will be said that all this moderation and liberality was forced upon them by the discussions and animadver sions of the Press on their proposed meeting. It is, however, hardly fair to impugn the motives of public speakers. But be it so, grant that Irish Catholics can learn prudence by what they see and hear. We do net know that that is exactly the thing to throw in their teeth ; the contrary accusation has been the most common. But Dr. MAC HALE commending Mr. 13niciuT, what will the Times say to that ? The " Lion of Judah" has actually owned the Quaker's remedy. Yes, Dr. MacHatz writes to the meeting : " The elaborate 6 letter of the able member for Manchester shows that a strong ray of light has broken in on the English mind, relative to the source of our social disorders, as well as the practical remedy, which, if the country is to be saved must be strongly applied." So, Mr. EDITOR, ilisOp's ass (we thank you heartily, however, for the fun you made us) .son's ass has pitched you a second time over his head. We ran with you laughing as you bestrode him through your merry article,lbut laughed most when, after all, we saw you flung head foremost upon the hard:ground of the solid common sense of Mr. BRIGHT'S equit able proposals. We saw you remount, however, nothing daunted, and off again towards Dr. MAC HALE, who, with his infallible:, " would submit to no arbitration." But, alas ! another fling up of the heels, and away you went Mr. Editor, head over heels, and MACHALE and the Quaker stand laughing to see you. " Yes, for my part," says Jona TUAM— " give us each the million offered by the able Man chester Member, and I'm content." Well done Archbishop ! Stick to that ! Back him Dr. CULLEN! Back him Irish Brigade ! The days of common sense for Ireland may then be nearer than any of us had thought. Our statesmen would be but too glad to accede to some plan approaching to reasonableness. The Liberal M.P.'s would gather round it ; public opinion would form rapidly in Eng land in its favour: this country would be but too glad to heal the plaguy disease which has made Ireland so troublesome a member of the British family. Yes, consent to real equality, and it may not be long before you get it. Meantime, since Dr MACHALE has be gun concession to reason, we hand over the Irish Episcopalians and Presbyterians to the lashing or lampooning of the Times. Who knows but that Dr. COOKE or the Archbishop of Armagh may soon gallop, Times. If they d o s t and i n the way of a fair compro amd i o s r e ni with long ears, through the leaders of the fit should come to this, that th e i r h orror o f "endowing idol a t ry " d oes hi nder or prevent a fair settlement for Ireland—let them know that the next proposition may be that the British Lion shall claim everything for the British people, and leave the bigots to their own resources. CUSTOMS P ROMOTIONS..--.if is said that the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. Ross, many years Surveyor- General, is to be filled by the promotion of Mr. St. John, at present I nspector-General of Liverpool, and that he is to be replaced by Mr. Rolls, Landing Surveyor in London. Both are young in the service, compared to many that they thus precede. The latter is an excellent practical officer, and the traders of Liverpool will not sutler by the exchange. Lie was the chief officer selected by the Commissioners of Customs to superintend that department in the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park, for the satisfactory discharge of which he received the thanks of the Royal Commissioners, and also a token of some Tama & Tii Du 's FUNERAL.—The procession, it is ex pected, will be two miles l ong .

Ac cording to the plan in contemplation, it is intended that the tax shall be levied at the rate of five per cent. on incomes from 501. a year and upwards; the imposition, however, not to be extended to incomes derivable from profits in trades or manufactures. Tee TORY Rumbold, the member for Yarmouth, received one of the official circulars issued by Mr. Disraeli to the protectionist and Derbyite members of the new Parliament. Two Tory votes are thus to be reckoned for that borough. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT LEEDS.—The ex-Premier has acceded to the request of the committee of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute and Literary Society to preside at the next soirée, which, in conpliance with his lordship's request, has been fixed to take place on the 2d of December. BUGHTON RAILWAY.—MY. Samuel Laing, M.P., has, it is understood, resigned the chair of the board of this company; remaining, however, in the direction. Mr. Laing was, it will be recollected, a salaried chairman; and now that ae is no longer able to give his undivided attention to the Oahe of the company, he has very properly relinquished the salary given with that view. S4I3IIII•EASTERN AND BRIGHTON COMPANIES.— The amalgamation between these two companies is now con fidently spoken of as being in process of negotiation and nearly concluded. GUY FAWKES Dix.—Yesterday being the sth of November, the usual search was made in the parliamentary cellars to discover the shade of Guy, and prevent the blowing up of the Parliament. This serious operation took place shortly after eleven o'clock in the morning by several of the officers of the two Houses of Parliament. Every nook and corner was examined for the discovery of combustible ma terials calculated to blow up the New Palace of Westminster and the Peers and Commoners of the land, hut none were found. ELECTION PETITIONS.—A petition is about to be presented against the sitting member for the borough of Briknortb. It is confidently anticipated that there will be no difficulty in establishing a successful case against him. Bribery and intimidation are the grounds intended to be relied on. DECORATION Or EXETER HALL.—The alterations made in Exeter Hall last year left the ceiling, although curved, perfectly plain, with the exception of openings for ventilation, which in themselves were simple voids, and more useful than ornamental. The directors have given their assistance in the promotion of the public taste by authorizing a large outlay in the decoration of this noble apartment, en tirely by means of colour. To the seven ventilating circles in the hipped hyperboloid ceiling, two more have been added, w hi c h give points d'appuijor a geometrical arrangement, and become essential features of the design, which consists of panelling formed by broad margins. The panels hold a white ornament on a blue ground, and are inserted into a general cream-coloured margin, which is, in fact, the ceiling, and this is elegantly subdivided by a fawn-coloured band of a deep shade, relieved by a vermillion ornament between brad bands, which will appear little more than a line. The great central design thus described is confined by a very ornamental border of panels, recalling those in the ceiling, and completed by fleurons at the corners, The spectator will learn somewhat of the difficulty of the design, when in formed that, small as it looks from the floor, the outer mar gin is twelve feet wide.

The ceiling of the Hall (covered with black cloth crossed diagonally by white cords) is finished, and the walls are in progreS. A platform is formed at the end to receive the body and mourners. The lights (gas) will be disposed behind hollow semi-columns fitted with reflectors. The hall is floored with open battens, and so is the covered way (IS feet wiie), which has been formed from the Queen's-road. It will be necessary to make arrangements for a queue of considerable length, or there will be much mischief done. Some dissatisfaction as been expressed by orrespondents at the fact that the de sign for the car was intrusted to Professor Semper, ti e Berlin architect.

The swearing in continued till the House rose. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) QUEEN'S BENCH. BREFFET V. WINTERBOTTOM. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case, which was given for the plaintiff at the last Liverpool Assizes, should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection. The cause of action arose out of a dispute relative to a patent for applying an elastic stopper to a glass bottle, and it was contended for the defendant, that, inasmuch that the principle was old, any one could avail himself of its application. The learned Judge, Mr. Justice Wightman, who tried the cause, held differently, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Their Lord ships this morning coincided with the view of the Judge, and refused the rule. Rest MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 10,000 bales, about 5,000 of which were taken on speculation and for export. The market steadier. Railway shares were quiet, and prices de clined slightly. There are several indications in the Bank of Eng land statement to the 30th ultimo of an increased de mand for money, and, despite the imports of bullion, it appears that the shipments were in excess, or, what is more probable, that there was a greater sum taken into the home circulation. The loans and discounts were augmented, and the notes out were increased considerably. The public deposits were augmented 515,5241., and will rise gradually with the advance of the quarter, but the withdrawal of private balances is e corroboration of the view above taken, that cash finds readier employment. Compared with the pre vious week, the following changes have occurred:— Notes issued £34,767,270 Increase3l,o4o 3,100,802 Increasel,9os Public Deposits Increase 215,254 Other Deposits Decrease 7 Day and other Bills Increase...

WINDSOR, Nov. 5. The Queen and Prince, with the Princess of Hohen loho Langenburg, walked in the grounds adjoining the Castle this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the younger members of the Royal Family, took their ac customed walking and pony exercise. Mr. Phillip had the honour of attending at the Castle this morning, and submitting for the inspection of her Majesty and Prince Albert his pictures of Spanish scenery. The Queen and Prince, with the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, accompanied by the Prince and Prin cess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, drove out in an open carriage this afternoon, attended by the Countess of Desert. Major-General Buckley and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, were in attendance an horseback. The Bishop of London had an interview with Sir John Pakington yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Mailings, NI.P., had an interview with Mr. Secre tary Walpole, yesterday, at the Home-office. Dispatches for the Governor of Canada wore sent off last evening from the Colonial-office. CAPTAIN PENNY AND THE ADMIRALTY, Mr. Penny, late commander of the Lady Franklin and Sophia, has been honoured by the Duke of North umberland with an interview, and has received a gratifying acknowledgment of his own services, and those under his command, from the present Board of Admiralty. [We are truly gratified to observe this act of justice—tardily performed it is true, but done at last with a degree of courtesy such as we might confidently have anticipated from his Grace the Duke of Northum berland. Everything, indeed, would seem to have con spired latterly to compensate Captain Penny for many past anxieties and disappointments. His eminent ser vices aro no longer recognized merely by ourselves, and a few others, who were early in pronouncing their ap preciation. They have been enhanced in their value by events, and—as will now be seen from the above—they have received the express recognition of the Govern ment.—En. Sun. THE FIRE ANNIHILATOR. Mr. W. li. Phillips, the inventor of the Fire Annihi lator, has addressed to us a letter on the subject of the recent fire at the Battersea works, in which ho says : " A twelvemonth ago I remonstrated with the directors upon the reckless manner in which the chemical charges were prepared and exposed. I explained the danger in curred, and forewarned the storekeeper of the possi bility of such a catastrophe occurring as we have now actually to deplore ; but the directors persevered in their perverse course, obstructed mo in the discharge of my duty as superintendent, and entrusted the whole management of the works to other persons ; a course which was sure, sooner or later, to lead to the result which nas followed, and which has arisen—not from any danger connected with my invention—but from neglect of my advice." ANOTHER CASE OF INFANTICIDE.--YeSterday morning, at seven o'clock, as police constable 14G L was going his rounds, and in passing through Chester-street, Kennington. his attention was dire& nil to a p.r.,01, co v-c ed with a piece of dirty canvass, and which was in the front garden of one of the houses about four yards from the palings. Ile instantly got into the place, and taking up the parcel conjectured, from the stench which it emitted, that it con tained some putrid matter, and at once removed it to the station-house in Kennington-lane. Here it was opened, and was fbund to contain the body of a very fine and hill-grown female infant, which must have been lifeless for at least eight or ten days, and was fast approaching decomposition. INCENDIARY FIRES IN NOTTS.—During the week, two incendiary fires have taken place in this county. For tunately the daLnage at each of the fires was not extensive Mr. o.dhara and A. Faulconbridge, Esq., are the respective owners of the property, which is situated at Bulwell, about five miles from Nottingham. A reward of 501. has been offered for the discovery of the incendiaries. SOUTHAMPTON.—The iron screw steam ship Gre cian, from London, bound to Liverpool, put into this port yesterday with damaged machinery, and will have to go into the dry dock to repair. VERA Cnuz.—Extract from a letter, dated Vera Cruz, sth October, 1852:—" The political state of the country is very much unsettled. The pronunciamiento at Gus dalaxara, at which we hinted in our last, has, about a fortnight since, taken place by the Guardia Nacional there, and must be considered in favour of Santa Anna, whom, in their plan, they invite to return.—Arista has sent about 2,000 troops against Guadalaxara, and wo wait the result. Acquirro is Minister of the Interior, and Guillermo Pinto, a senator, but uninfluontial, Minister of Finance. General Anayra,Minister of War. These parties offer no guarantee whatever for stability in the Govern ment. At tho close of the mail per express from Mexico, we learn that the mails from the interior— Guanaxuato. Queretaro, &c., had, by order of the Go vernment, not been delivered to the public from the Post Office. It is rurnouted that Guanaxuato, Morelia, an d Puebla aro in disobedience to the Government of Arista, at the instigation of Munoz :Ledo, Governor of Guanaxuato, and that General U ruga , w i t h t h e troops above alluded to, have joined, and does not march to Guadalaxara. Business continues in the most unsatis factory state.". THE UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. -- On Monday the operation of laying down the wires of the underground electric telegraph between Dover and the metropolis was completed, and a junction having been effected with the submarine cable, a direct communica tion was at once established between the offices of the "European and Submarine Printing Telegraph Com pany " in Cornhill and Paris. This new lino of telegraph follows the route of the old Dover coach road, passing through the several towns of Dart ford, Gravesend, Rochester, Sittingbourne, and Canter bury, and has been laid down by Messrs. Frond and Hamill, of Bedford. row. The works have been rapidly done in defiance both of unfavourable weather and of direct opposition, and it is a matter of congratulation to all whose business or pleasure renders frequent commu nication with the continent requisite or desirable, that there need not now be any delay in the transmis sion of messages between the two countries. Whether there will bo or not, or if the facilities will be developed as they should be, wo have yet to see. Before the completion of this line all continental messages from London were conveyed by moans of the South-Eastern Railway Company's telegraph to Dover, whore a break occurred, owing to the absence of direct telegraphic communication between the station and the office of the submarine company. It was partly to avoid this inter ruption, but mainly to save a very heavy rental paid to the South-Eastern Company for the privilege of using their telegraph, that the construction of the underground telegraph was resolved upon. The pecuniary loss in volved led the South-Eastern directors to resist, oven by force, in defiance of the powers of an Act of Parliament, the transit of the telegraph under their railway. This happened at Canterbury, and was carried so far that Mr. Freud, the contractor, was actually given into custody by the railway officials, and taken bolero the Mayor and magistrates, by whom ha was, of course, at once dis charged.— Tile Builder. TILE RUSSIAN BATII.—A short tretrikise on bathing is a requisite of the age. Now that public baths are established in every large city, and are used by the million lit is desirable that the effects of bathing, i n its different varieties,on health, should be understood, and that our public baths should be constructed on the best possible plan, and give facilities for the application of moisture to the body in the largest number of useful modes. We should not only have warm baths, but cold haths,vapour baths, plunging baths, shower baths, hot-air baths, and attendants to sharepo , ) those who are willing to pay for the process. Each of these modes of bathing has its special in fluence on health and disease, and m i g h t b e employed ' sc paratoly or combined as dee me d requ i s i te.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CITY 0 MANCHESTER. (FRoM OUR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) At 7 o'clock this morning, the Liverpool and Phila' delphia Steam-ship Company's screw-steamer City of Manchester, Leitch, commander, arrived in the Mersey from Philadelphia, which port she left on the 23dult., with 190 passengers, and three days' later intelligence from all parts of the United States than we had previ ously received by the arrival of the Asia at Liverpool, on Monday last. Letters from New York and Washington concur in the statement that Mr. Secretary Webster's health is in so prectirious a state, that it is considered doubt' ful if he will ever resume his official duties. His nan 3 e had been withdrawn from the list of candidates for the Presidency. By the arrival of the steamer Empire City, at Nevr Orleans from Cuba, we learn that the island W tranquil when the steamer sailed. Orders had b e en received from the Spanish Government, that no p oll ' tical prisoners were to be sent to Europe by th e Governor-General of Cuba, unless the precise nature of their offences were specified in writing, and for' warded to the officer in whose charge they we re transported. The general tone of the advices from Havana ha d produced a stronger feeling in all the American war bets, and Government Stocks especially had felt the effect in a material rise of quotations. The cotton markets were in much the same stat e as when the Asia left New York, on the 20th. Larg e receipts at the port s , an d cont i nued high estimates °L , the crops, kept down prices,:but a good business for export to Europe was going forward. The breadstuff market was active and firm, wi th the exception of flour, which, being in large supply' might be had for shipping purposes at a trifling d e° cline. Provisions were hardly in such brisk request as at the last accounts ; yet prime pork ruled at full prices , notwithstanding live hogs were quoted at 51c. to 6 °' per lb.
