Yesterday accounts were received from the various outports, detailing numerous casualties to shipping, unfortunately involving a serious loss of life ; the gale is described by the seamen who were caught in it as most terrific in its violence and disastrous in its effects. The storm did not prevail from one point, but shifted about from S.S.W. to N N.W., and was accompanied with heavy rein, and at intervals with thunder and lightning. Ramsgate harbour is crowded with vessels, most of which have either sustained damage to their spars, bulwarks, and rigging, or lost their anchors in the Downs. The Princess Royal, contract mail packet, with the Hamburgh and Bremen mails, was obliged to put into Harwich and land the mails at that port; when off Southwold, on Tuesday morning, she fell in with the crew (nine seamen) of the Ondine, of Whitby, wrecked on Sizaweil Bank, and conveyed them and their boat to Harwich. Among the many disasters that occurred, a ship called the Elizabeth, Mr. Baynes, of Jersey, was wrecked on the Main, between St. Margaret's Bay and Kingadown. It happened about eleven o'clock on Monday night. She was last from Halifax, and was bound for Havre with a cargo of mahogany. She had almost reached her destination, when over taken by the storm and losing her sails, she was blown away past her port. The master for safety bore away into the downs, to escape from the fury of the storm, where, unfortunately, it increased tenfold, in the midst of which she drove ashore in the spot above mentioned. The masts were instantly cut away, and other means taken to preserve the vessel from the wreck. This, how ever, was found to be impossible, and it was with great difficulty that the lives of the crew were saved. Much doubt exists as to any portion of the wreck being got off. In the course of the same night several vessels, though they had two chains out, were swept from their moorings, and were driven foul of others with great violence. B ioms, bulwarks, &c., were carried away, and other mischief done. Upwards of a dozen ships lost their cables, spars, &c., and were nigh being driven ashore on the Good *ie. Off Dungeness, New Romney, a n d Rye four ves sels, nam e d the Laurel, of Whitby, the Thomas and Ann from Dieppe, the Honoria, for London, and the William, from Liverpool, were cast ashore, and will become total wrecks. The crews were providentially saved by taking to the boats. Northward of the Thames, along the coast of Han wich, Aldb oroug h , Yarmouth, and Bridlington, no fewer than 30 coasting vessels were driven ashore, where, up to the last post, they remained, without a chance of being got off. A brig named the Eupbemia, belonging to Blake ney, bound from Seaham to London, on Tuesday evening struck on the Shipwash Sand ; the gale blew her off into deep water, where she foundered. Un happily, some of her crew went down in her and pe rished ; the remainder took to the boats and were saved. Near the same spot, on the previous morning, a barque was seen by the coastguard at Aldborough to capsize and disappear almost immediately after wards. Not a soul was saved from her. On the Scroby Sand, near Yarmouth, the ship Alta Agent, belonging to Dantzic, from Shields, out ward bound for Venice, was wrecked the same night; the master and one boy met with a watery grave. The rest, numbering 13, saved themselves by s the b oa t s . vessels. great B as y to the Nearly 20 0 sa i l took shelter in Bridlington Bay to escape the fur y of the gal e . Th e sur f i n the bay was prev ent last post e w d i t not h t h t o e have moderated. We also hear of a vessel b ping lost on the Battery R oc k s , off Tynernoutb, called the John Wesley,nejr North Shields. She is She struck aboutap , tain , l Abbott, from Al derney.oe clock on Tuesday night. The lifeboat was sent out from the shore and succeeded in taking the crew out of h In addition to the above list of the sers, e s w t reek. several total losses have been reported at Lloyd's. In on© instance many lives were lost. ro DUPLEX RUDDER — A - N - D PROPELLER. SC REW er, Under tha above title, captain E. c p R.N., has patented an invention in the art oafr p rop el ling vessels by screw, which bids fair to constit ute new era in steam navigation. Vessels propelled by screw are, indeed, no longer a novelty ; but the pe culiarity of Captain Carpenter's invention is, that tw o screws are made use of instead of one, which greatly increases the speed, while the ship is steered by two rudders, which in an oval degr ee increases the control obtained over her. In order to obtain these results, Captain Carpenter builds his vessels on a principle different from any that has hitherto been adopted. From the stem to the midships section the keel is laid down the same as in other vessels; hut from the midships towards the stern the keel gradually tapers off till it is lost in the water-line. But in place of this single keel, two new keels start from the midships, and are continued in parallel lines to the stern, th...! distance between them varying, of course, according to the sizs of the vessel. Each of these keels is fitted with a stern- Post and rudder, and between the keel and the SUN, town of Offenbach would remain without work, and that the value of houses would tall two,thirds. The German Journal of Frankfort contains aletter crow Darmstadt which states, that in the sitting of thr Second Chamber of the States of the Grand Duchy on the sth, a resolution was voted, declaring that the execution of the treaty of April 6 (the coali tion of Darmstadt) menaced the well-bring of the country, and compromised the existence of the Zoll verein, and that the Chamber, i n consequence , i nv i te d the Government to endeavour to reorganize the Z,)11- verein with Prussia and the other Northeru States of Germany; to obtain the suppression of the differen tial duties, and other onerous conditions, and to con clude a commercial treaty with Austria alone, after the renewal of the Z..)llverein. The Elector of HESSE left Cassel on the 3d, for Munich. The King and Queen of HANOVER left their capital on the 28th ult., for Kirchheiw, in IVurtemherg. A letter from 13,rlin, 3d, says—" The Plenipo tentiary of Wurternburg to the Customs' Congress ises has left to-day. The Ministers of the two e alone remain. Baden not having taken part in the last conferences of Stutgardt, negotiations have been opened with that State, having f object to maintain it in the Zoilv e rein, or at least to induce it to con clude with Prus s ia a treaty by which it will r e t ain the former commercial and customs' advantages. It is thought that similar measures will be attempted with Saxony, An Austrian and a Prussian plecipo tentiary are now at Paris charged to conclude alpostal treaty with the French Government, in order to facilitate communications bettve , 2n France and Ger many, and according to the last official communica tions there are hopes that these negotiations will be attended with a favourable result. In the sitting of the Commission on the Revision of the Constitution, yesterday, a proposition was made not to convoke the Chambers but every two years ; it was, however, re jected, and they will be convoked every year in .November." The Vienna Gazate states that a band of forgers had been discovered, who had been employed in ma nufacturing Prussian paper money. The head. quarters of the gang wes in America, and a part of them have been arrested in that country, and others in Germany. The Prussian police had been for soa-e time aware !hat a regular company had been formed by shares, in the United State, , , for carrying on this nefarious traffic, and that an agent in the p-rson of a medical man, a native of Germany, was to land at Bremen with a considerable amount of this counterfeit paper motley, which he was to put into circulation at liamburgb. A Prussian police officer was conse quently dispatched last week to Bremen, and on the vessel arrivin g t h e i nd i vidual was arrested. On ex mining his trunks, a large :mount of the false paper, very well executed, was found. At the demand of the Prussian Government, the American Government has sßized the presses and all the apparatus, and ar rested the culprits, who will be brought before the tribunal at New York. POLAND. A letter from Warsaw of the 29th in the Boersenhalle of liamburgh, states that the cholera has completely disappeared, and that the persons who Were under treatment have been cured. The Boersenhalle of Hamburgh, of the 4th, says : --" Every traveller, at his entry into Poland, is obliged to make a declaration of what money he has in bis possession, and what employment he purposes making of it. On his return, the passenger is obliged to say how he has employed it. Any false declaration entails confiscation." SPORT/NG NOTES. No. . THE NEWMARKET CCCXXIII SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. '0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The ensuing week's sport at Iliad- quarters bids lair to be quite up w this average, if not above it; but this depends materially upon how the :0 stakes, which are at present of the skeleton description, fill. The Meeting commences on Monday with a 501. Plate, A.F., which, with the T.Y.C. Plate, 20, and 10 SOTS. Handicap, do not close and name until the evening before running. The 50 sous. svrespstakes, will in all probability have CALORIC, Bst 710, and Maria, Bst 2lb, in the first and second places; with Queen Guinever third. Bay Rosalind, of course, does not run. The Post ketch for 200, h ft, between Lord Exeter's Phrygia, Kernel, and Kagaret of Arjou; and the Duke of Bedford's Oasis, Diomedia, and Berengarin, if run, will be won by the Marquis; but not improbably the match will end in a forfeit, as the Duke's fillies can have no chance against his opponents. Match, 200, h ft, T.Y.C.—Frantic receives forfeit frcm colt by Slane. Match, 200, h fr, T.Y.C.—Pensioner, Bst 71b, will no doubt beat filly by Don John out of Jercima, Bst 21b. Match, 200, h ft, A. F.—W ingenund will receive for• feit from colt by Ithuriel out of Gipsy. Match, 200, h ft, T.Y.C.—Maidstone will receive for feit from, or beat, Lapidist, Bst 711) each. Match, 100, h ft, D. l l.—Exeter, 83t 7ib, will beat Vi vandiere, Bst. Match, 200, T.Y.C.—Glenluce, I think, will just brat Flirt cleverly half, a-length, or something of that sort. Weight, Bst 71b each. Match, 200, h ft, D.M.—Sackbut will receive forfiit from colt by Ithuriel out of Gipsy. Match, 203, h ft, T.Y.C.—Pelion, 2 yrs, bat 71b, will run too fast for hia six years old competitor, Herbert, Bst 121 b. Tuesday's races commence with a 5 soya. Sweepstakes; which, together with the 5 soya. Handicap, does not close and name till Monday evening. The Royal Stakes of 200 sous. each, 120 ft, &e., A. F. will, this year, be more valuable than usual ; for if three start, it will be worth 1,960/. Lord Derby's Longbow will only be opposed by Glenluce, and perhaps Poodle or Ilex • LONGBOW, of course, the winner. The Clear well Stakes of 30 sous. each, 20 ft, T.Y,C., will, it is expected, be contested by Sittingbourne, Mar garet of Anjou, Filly by Bay Middleton, Estrella, Ori noco, and perhaps another or two. Uri:ll)nel is re- Ported a non-starter, or, in my humble opinion, he wou'd have won. In his absence I can discover nothing beat BITTINGBOURNE, without it is Estrella. These two will be first and second, and Orinoco about third. The Cesarewitch Stakes of 25 soya. each, 15 fr, with 30g added (two miles one furlong and 215 yards), will, as near as I can ascertain at the present moment, be contested by the following :—Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, Alonzo, Indian Warrior, Bird on the Wing, Knight of Gwynne, Le Juif, Weathergage, Lady Amyott or Can dlewick, Marchioness, King Charming, Sharavogue, King PePin, Phlegra, Kitquade or La Gezza Laura, Ilex, Waterfall, Lindrick or Lerrywhent, Knight of the Shire, Dangerous, Dollond, and perhaps Termagant and Mis sive. The race, I anticipate, will be con fi ne d ent i re l y to Lady Evelyn Ariosto, Le juif, Phl.gr a , K n i g h t of the Shire, and D'Alond; ABIOS ro or LE JUIF carrying off the Cesarewitch laurels. I have thrown over Candlewick, believing her not to be meant, besides being a doubtful starter, and taken Ariosto in addition to my original selection of Le Juif; about whom I stated in Note No. 301, that he " is doing good work, will accept, and, I fancy, be a great favourite for the Cesarewitch" Match, 100, h ft. T.Y.C.—Dove will beat Torment, Bst 41b each. On Wednesday the Bedford Stakes are almost sure of being carried off by VAULTREIS or NICOTINE. The 50 sous. Stakes look wet! also for NICOTINE. Match, 200, h ft, T.Y.C.—Mountain Flower, 3 vrs, Bst 71b, will, I think. be just good enough to best War whoop, 2 yrs, 7at llib. On Thursday the Cracow Stakes will fall to the lot of Mr. Batson with BEN NEVIS. The Bretby Stakes, in the absence of Sylphine, who cannot be in any thing like form yet, will not improba ba bly be carried off by Lord Exeter with the DO'SE or PBRYGIL. Match, 100 h ft, T.Y.C.—Sister to Caracara, 7st 21b, if brought to the post in form, ought to beat Nathan, Bst 91b. On Friday the Prendergast Stakes will be the means of attracting a small field to the post, which will in the first and D s CHEDAR eco nd an situaaionsd Pharold. m , who I propose t o fill Match, 200 h ft, T.Y.C.—Filly by Don John, out o f Miss Sarah, I presume will beat the colt by Cotherstone, out of Lucy Banks. Match, 100, h f;, D.M.—Stockwell, Bst 71b, will doubtless, receive forfeit from the Nabob, Bst 31b. Match, 200 h ft, A.F.—Hothorpe, Bst 31b, is, in ray opinion, just good enough to beat the Knight of the Garter, 7st 71b. A match between Lord Exeter's Ilex and the Duke of Bedford's Ilugo, over the Cesarewitch Course, and which the former may possibly win, brings the meeting to a conclusion.—l am Si r , y ours . ifec Oct. 8.

LON DON, sternpost of each there is an orifice, in which the screw works, according to the common principle. One screw propeller is placed a little in advance of the other, so as to allow both room to work, and yet so near that, when both are in action, they constitute in fact one pro peller with double power. The two rudders are so connected together, that they can be steered by one person as easily as the single rudder on the old prin ciple, while by a slight alteration in the machinery, one of the screws cr one of the rudders can be un shipped at pleasure, and the vessel worked with one only. B y this new principle the inventor calculates on obtaining not only an increase of speed which may obviously be expected from the double action of the screws, but also on having a greater control over the way of the vessel by the action of the double rud der; and from experiments obtained from a working model, it appeared that a vessel constructed on this principle would turn completely round in the space of her own length and a half, while the Thames steam-boats usually rcquire a circle the diameter of which is between five and six times the vessel's length, in which to turn completely round under si milar circumstances. The form of the vessel's stern also gets rid of all dead water, which has usually been a great impedim e nt t o th e act i on o f t h e screw . ; and the breadth of the vessel and stern, which is ren dered necessary by the double keel, gives an oppor tunity for imparting increased strength to that part of the ship where it is much wanted in a screw steam-vessel, at the same time that being propped up, as it were, on the two crutches of her double keel, she will be lees likely to roll in the water. It should be stated that up to this time Captain Carpenter has had no opportunity of testing the prin ciple of his invention except by the action of a work ing model. But an opportunity has now occurred which will give him the means of showing the advan tages of his invention on a scale which will probably be admitted us decisive. Captain Ley land has com• missioned a tender for his yacht to ixx built and fitted up on Captain Carpenter's principle, and the little vessel is now in course of construction at Mr. Green's building yard, at Orchard•house, Blackwall. At pre sent only the framework is laid dome, so that all who are curious in these matters have an admirable opportu nity of seeing the skeleton, as it were, of the vessel, and of ascertaining for themselves not only the pecu liar shape of the vessel, but of the extraordinary strength which is capable of being imparted to ships built upon this principle, as well as the greater amount of stowage that is obtained compared with chips built on the ordinary principle. The vessel in question is 45 feet long between the perpen dicular, with a counter of eight feet six inches. The two keels are about 18 inches apart, and as the timbers on each side are brought down to these heels instead of meeting in a point on the middle keel, they are tied together by transverse pieces of wood, which appear to give them a strength nearly double of what is obtained in the ordinary way. The screws are each 26 inches in diameter, and are to be worked by two engines of six• horse power each. The vessel is to be rigged as a schooner, for the screws can be removed at pleasure, and the tender used en tirely as a sailing vessel. She is expected to be ready for sea in about a fortnight, and when ready for sea will doubtless excite much attention among gentlemen interested in the principles of ship building and steam navigation.— Chronic/a. OUTRAGE ON MR. PAGET IN SAXONY The seizure of Mr. John Paget's papers and books by the police authorities of Dresden has been already noticed by several of our contemporaries: We believe the following to be the correct version of the affair : " On the 2d of September Mr. Paget's house was entered by five policemen, who demanded the keys of his writing table, &c., threatening to force them open if refused. They proceeded to examine the house, and carried off every particle of writing they could find, including 200 or 300 letters, a MS. history of the late revolution in Hungary, nearly completed, four volumes of a diary kept during the year 1849, and a variety of other papers, as well as 27 printed books. " Mr. Paget immediately communicated the affair to the Hon. Mr. Forbes, the British Minister to the Court of Saxony, who took the matter up very warmly, and at once handed in an official note to M. de Beust, Minister for Foreign Affairs, demanding an explanation of these arbitrary proceedings. M. de I3eust declared that he knew nothing of the business, but would immediately inquire into it ; and the same answer was returned by the Minister for the Home Department. Mr. Forbes did not allow the matter to rest; but it was not till the 9th of September that M. de Beast informed hire, unofficially, that Mr. Paget was asserted to have had at least one interview with M. Kossuth ; that he was suspected of having been a channel of communication between him and the malcontents in Hungary ; and that his papers had been seized in consequence. As Mr. Paget arrived in Dresden about the middle of August, 1851, and M. Kossuth did not reach London till three months later, and as the proof of this fact was in the hands of the Dresden police itself, with whom Mr. Paget's passport had been deposited, it was no difficult matter to set aside this allegation. " Owing to the continued absence of M. de Beast, it was not till the 19th that Mr. Forbes received an official answer to his note of the 2d, although be had repeatedly demanded it. This answer contained the avowal that the seizure of Mr. Paget's papers had been made in consequence of a communication from a foreign Government—of course the Austrian—in which the following statements are made : " Mr. Paget is described as having been an active agent of M. Kossuth during the revolution in Hun gary, and as having been intrusted with the most im portant missions. It is stated that atter the revolu tion Mr. Paget escaped into Turkey with General Bern, and thence he repaired to London, where he resided till the arrival of Kossuth, at which epoch he established himself at Dresden. Further, that in his correspondence with the emigration he signed himself by a false name—John Paff, &c. " In consequence of this information Mr. Paget (continues the official note of M. de Beust) was sus pected of being, if not.a member, at least an agent, of the revolutionary committee; and the search was un dertaken in the hope of making discoveries; but that nothing having been found, the papers had been re turned immediately. In spite of this assurance, the papers were not returned on the 23d, when, after a conversation with Mr. Paget, Mr. Forbes officially denied, and characterised all these statements as busses et controuvies ; and insisted on the immediate restoration of Mr. Paget's property. "On the 25th Mr. Paget was summoned to the police, and the whole of his.papers and books restored. Fortunately, from among his papers, Mr. Paget was able to adduce proofs of the falsehood of every state ment on which the Saxon authoritie s had founded the justification of their seizure. H is diar y con tained evidence, in every page, how far he was from admiring the policy or character of M. Kossuth. His passport, and his permit to use arms, proved that he bad not escaped into Turkey with Beni in August, but bad remained in Transylvania till November, when he travelled through Vienna to England, with the full knowledge of the Austrian authorities, while his passport from London t o Dresden was contradiction enoug h to the latter part of the statement. Fortunately, Mr. Paget wa s a bl e to show even that in his correspondence with Hun garian emigrants he had used no other name than his own, as their letters in answer were preserved, and were always addressed in that name. With- Th ese apology for proofs in his hands, Mr. Paget felt himself en titled to demand an acknowledgmen t on the p art of the Saxon Government of the injustice of the treatm en t to which he had been subjected, and an the error which had been committed. " In the meantime, and before this demand bad been transmitted to Mr. Forbes, Mr. Paget received a letter on the 27tb, in which Mr. Forb es informed him that he had seen M. de Beu st, who re quested him to convey the expression of hi s re g ret at the delay which had occurred in returning the papers, and also at the inconvenience to whi ch Mr. Paget had b een put, at the same time assuring Mr. Forbes that the police had undertaken the search on their sole re sponsibility, and bad been in consequence strongly reprimanded by the Minister of the Home Depart ment." Such has been the termination of this affair, and we understand that Mr. Paget expresses himself not only obliged to Mr. Forbes for the prompt and energetic manner in which he took up the matter, but i s qu it e convinced that it is to his active intervention he is in debted for the restoration of his property.

THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS.---OE Sunday afternoon the people of Egremont were a little surprised by the arrival of a body of about two hundred of the Latter-day Saints, chiefly women, many of whom were young, with a few of the elders or prophets. Coming up to the vans belonging to Mr. Chadderton, they took possession, as if for the ordinary pur pose of bathing. Whilst a portion of the females entered the vans, and whilst they were undressing, these left on the shore commenced singing a hymn, and a considerable con course soon collected to witness their proceedings. It was shortly discovered that their object was baptism by immer sion, which was performed by the chief elder, attired in trousers reaching up to his middle, dipping the fair enthu siasts, one after the other in the tide, as they presented themselves, in the ordinary blue flannel gown, at the doors of the vans.

American Paper. FRIDAY AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, OCT. 7. The United States' mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain J. D. Lines, arrived off Cowes just before noon to• day, and, having landed the English mails and passengers, proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Humboldt left New York on the 25th ult., and passed the following ships going into that port, viz., the Isaac Webb, Frances P. Sage, Winchester, and Huguenot. On the 29th ult., cif Cape Pine, at three P.M., she saw the United States' nisi' steamer Atlan tic, from Liverpool, bound to New York. The Humboldt has 105 passengers for Havre and 15 for Southampton ; on freight 100,000 dolls. in American gold for London, and 220,000 dolls, for Havre. Tha screw steamer City of Glasgow arrived at Philadelphia on the 22d ult. from Liverpool, in less than 14 days. The New York papers are chiefly occupied with questions of domestic politics, the war of General Scott and the approaching preaiden!ial contest. The liThig State Convention at Syracuse has re nominated Washington Hunt for Governor, and Judge Kent for Lieutenant-Governor. The yellow lever prevailed extensively at Charleston. The .A'ational Intelliqencer of Sep ernher 24th gives the following account of the official reception of the new Peruvian Minister by President Fill more. The reply of the President to the speech of the Peruvian Minister affords an additional proof that the friedly relations existing between the two Re publics will not be disturbed : "We learn that Senor Don Joaquim Jose de Irma was yesterday introduced to the President by Mr. Con rad, the Acting Secretary of State, and presented his credentials us Envoy Extraordinary and Miuise r Pleni potentiary of the Republic of Peru, , and made the fol lowing remarks ou the occasion : " Str,--The President of Peru has been pleased to ap point me his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary to your Government, and, in delivering into your bands the letter which accredits me in that cha racter, I am directed to express the sincere wishes which animate the Government and people of Peru to preserve undisturbed the friendly relations which have existed since the declaration of her independence between that republic and the United States, and the confidence they feel that any difficulty which might appear to jeopardize them will be removed when examined with the impar tiality and wisdom which distinguish your Government, , and with the elevation arid integrity of your personal character, which the whole world acknowledges, and which place you in a prominent position among the suc cessors of the illustrious Washington. For my own part, I will not spare any means to maintain the good under standing between both Governments; and, having had on a former occasion the honour to fill hare the same station which I now come to occupy, I will only endea vour to deserve from your Government the same con siderations which were then dispensed to me, and which have deeply impressed me with feelings of gratitude, of high esteem for your country, and of profound admi ration for your institutions." To which the President replied as follows : " lam happy, Sir, to welcome you back to Wash ington as the envoy of the Peruvian Government. The favourable impression which you made during your pre vious mission, both upon our citizens and upon this Go vernment, makes your present visit the more acceptable. We have long cherished a lively regard for our sister republics in South America, and for none do we enter tain a higher appreciation than for Peru; and I trust there is nothing in the present relations of the two countries calculated to disturb that harmony which has hitherto existed between them. The maxim of this Government is, universal and exact justice to all, and it will never knowingly do any act by which the rights of another nation, and particularly those of a sister re public, will be invaded. Believing that no serious and lasting difference of opinion can exist between two countries both of which only seek to do right, I bail your advent among us as furnishing a renewed assur ance that the time is far distant when the friendly rela• lions between Peru and the United States can be dis turbed.. lam gratified to perceive by your letter of credence that you are fully authorized by your Govern ment to negotiate in reference to all matters of difference between the two countries. Anxious only to establish such relations as may be mutually beneficial, I cannot doubt that any negotiation must result in the adoption of measures calculated to promote the harmony and in crease the commercial intercourse between the two re publics."' On the occasion of this interview, the New York Herald drily remarks : The speech of the new diplomatist indicates that There will be no difficulty in settling the guano dispute to the satisfaction of everybody, except those who have already gone to fill their vessels with it free of expense.' Commander Francisco Ignacio do Carvalho Mo reira, the newly-accredited Brazidan Minister, also had audience of the President on the 21st ult., to present his credentials, upon which occasion, after the usual complimentary address from the Minister, the President replied as follows : " I am happy, Sir, to receive you, as the Represen tative of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. The very high character which your illustrious Sovereign has been pleased to give you in his letter of credence in spires a confidence that makes you a welcome addition to the diplomatic body accredited to this Government. Brazil covers a large extent of territory in South Ame rica, and wo have, and are always likely to have, com mercial relations with her of great and increasing im portance. I receive, therefore, with peculiar satisfaction the kind and fraternal expressions of friendship which your august Sovereign has been pleased to express towards me and my country, and I can assure you that hie sentiments are by D3O most cordially and unree servedly reciprocated. This Government can bo ani mated by no other desire towards your country than that of maintaing the most amicable commercial rela tions, mutually beneficial to the inhabitants of both; and I feel the fullest confidence that you will co-operate with me in the promotion of all measures calculated to main tain peace and harmony between the two countries, and to promote their common welfare." • The Herald gives the subjoined in reference to later news which has been received from Havannah : "Intelligence from Ilavannah, to the 19th inst., pur porting to come by telegraph from New Orleans, was made public yesterday. This news differs but little in its main features from that hitherto brought to this city by the steamer Crescent City. The New Orleans dispatch states tbat a council of war was to be held on the 23d, for the trial of the eleven persons con cerned in the publication of the Voice oft' the People.' Now, according to our previous information,, these persons were tried, convicted, and sentenced on the.l3th. Three of them were to be garotted—two of whom, very fortunately for themselves, had escaped and were beyond the reach of the Spanish authorities—and the other eight were to bo banished to the island of Ceuta. It is likewise reported that 1,200 stand of arms had been landed by the revolutionists, 200 of which were seized by the Government, and the remainder were secreted in the mountains by the country people. Troops had been statio ne d i n all parts of the island; arrests were daily being made of every person suspected of, entertaining filibustero sentiments; all American newspapers, without exception, were prohibited, and the moat vigorous exertions were still making to suppress any attempt at insurrection. The war steamer Pizarro, which got aground in chasing a suspicious vessel, had proved a total loss. It is also stated that the officers of the Empire City, which vessel brought this rews, were very politely treated by the Spanish authorities—the latter having very probably learned a little wisdom from the late intercourse with Captain Porter, whose purser they attempted to place under the surveillance of their police. We shall doubtless have full particulars in a day or two." Mr. Thomas Baring was entertained at a public dirmer at Boston on the 22d ult. In his speech he formally disclaimed any connexion between his visit ' to jhe United States and political affairs. The mer chants of New York were getting up a subscription for the purpose of giving a public banquet in his honour. In the New York Herald we fiad:tbe: following de scription of the United- States' 'steam-frigate Pow- , hattan " This vessel, which lately arrived here from Norfolk,' en route for the Mediterranean, is a now ene, having just been completed at Norfolk, Virginia; The Susque-' henna, now in the East Indies, and•herself have sitnilari external dimensions 'of hulls, areas of midihip trections, diameter of cylinders, areas of fire surfaCes, &c. Th e i r models, however, in heir lines and the details of their engines and boilers, are very different. A reference to the following dimensions will show them to b© the largest naval aide-wheel frigates yet built in any country: Feet. In.

" The contractor is Mr.'A. Mehaffey, of the Gosport Ironworks, Virginia. The hull was designed by Naval Constructor Mr. Francis Grice, and the engines and boil ers were designed and drawn by chief engineer Charles H. Haswell.' In noticing naval affairs, the Courier and Enquirer states that— " The line-of battle ship Pennsylvania, which cost 800,000 dollars, launched at Philadelphia in 1837, we learn from the Norfolk papers, is now lying at the navy yard at that place, and has recently been converted into a ball-room for the entertainment of the officers in that station. She is the largest and most costly ship of the line in our navy, carrying 140 guns, and the only voyage A she ever made was from Philadelphia to N ora)lh correspondent of the Utica Gazette, writinge.hfromNor folk, Sept. 10, says that the narrow inlet, • eh is her present quarters, not allowing her to swing at anchor with the tide, and exposing constantly the same side to the sun, her timbers have decayed, and would require an immense outlay to replace. The sand . has formed bars a round rid fastened her to the bottom; and if she ever moves gain it will be done by carrying the country with her." EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 18,52. Billy Bowlegs, hereditary chief of the Seminole Indians, with several war chiefs of the same tribe, and an interpreter and suite, had arrived at New York. In the New York markets money was in increaeed demand, and speculative stocks had in consequence declined; the rates for discounts had also slightly ad vanced. The demand for foreign exchange was steady. London was quoted 110+ to 1104; Paris, sf. I.*. to .sf. ; Amsterdam, 40+ to 41 ; Ham burgh, 36 to 3q; Bremen, 79 to 79f. Cotton had declined to 4 cent, but the fall did not bring for ward buyers. Prices were next to nominal, and the sales 1,000 bales in the three days preceding the de parture of the Humboldt. Ashes were in moderate de mand. Coffee active at full prices; sales of the week, 10,000 bales. For flour there was an increasing demand, but the export business was lees active. The market was firm for the better qualities of wheat, but inferior descriptions were unsaleable. In provi sions pork had again declined. Rice was too high in price for export. Wool sales, 150,0001 b. in the week. The market for wines of all sorts had a decidedly up ward tendency. Tobacco in fair demand. At Charleston, on the 23d of September, the cotton market was dull and unsettled. O❑ the 21st ult. the Canadian Legislature passed an address to the Queen, thanking her Alajesty for the protection to their fisheries, and praying that no treaty should be made impairing thut of 1818, with out embracing the whole intercourse of the colonies and the United States. The Canadian Ministry bad introduced a resolu tion proposing that the Legislative Council shall be elected by the inhabitantF, instead of appointed by the Crown, with the proviso that candidates shall have been either members of the Lower House or mayors of municipalities. FINE ARTS. MR. MATTHEW NOBLE'S BUST OF WELLINGTON. Among the countless effigies of the late illustrious Duke of Wellington that have been recently pro duced, or brought to light from the obscurity in which they have lain for many years, to meet the demand occasioned by his Grace's lamented decease, there are none to compare fur truthfulness of resemblance with the heroic bust in marble recently completed by Mr. Noble, of Berkeley-chambers, Bruton-street. To this work a peculiar interest is attached, from the fact of its being the last portrait for which the Duke sat to any artist—the sittings having been given only a few months prior to his death. Eminently successful for its simple grandeur and the elevated feeling with which it is imbued, Mr. Noble's bust challenges comparison with every other representation of the original for its literal correctneis and startling vrai semblance. The modelling of the features has been executed with the nicest appreciation of the speciality of the subject. Nollekens and Chantrey excelled in delineating the peculiarity of surface on the face of age, but it may be safely asserted that Mr. Noble is in this instance in no respect their inferior. He has also escaped the tendency to exaggerate and carica ture the features of the Duke, a fault so observable in the majority of the Wellington statues and pictures from the equestrian monstrosity at Hyde-park-corner downwards. From whatever point it is studied, whether in ensemble or in minute detail, the effect of the bust is equally correct and satisfactory. Nothing of an accessorial kind has been introduced in a manner to detract from the impressiveness of the massive and intelligently reflective head. The breast of the hero is decorated with a simple medal—a military cloak falls over his shoulders, and the identity of the like ness is aided by the introduction of the rigid cravat which is managed with the utmost taste. Indeed the difficulties connected with the sculptural treatment of modern costume are admirably surmounted, and the eye of the observer reposes with undivided attention on the familiar features of the Hero Duke. It was Fuseli, we think, whe, while gang on a fin© statueby a con temporary sculptor, exclaimed to the gratified pro ducer of the work, " You have cut:away all the marble and left the man! " The compliment was neatly paid and may be appropriately applied to Mr. Noble in reference to the bust under notice. He has been evi dently inspired by the importance of his subject, and in saying that he has worthily succeeded we award him the highest praise. The public have not been backward in their appreciation of Mr. Noble's suc cess, for his rooms are daily crowded by visitors of rank and fashion, to the credit of whom it may be stated that he has received commissions for upwards of a hundred copies of " the Duke's" bust in marble and plaster. Mr. Noble, it will be remembered, was the successful competitor for three of the " Peel " statues, two of which, in bronze of colossal dimen sions, have been recently erected in Tamworth and Salford—the third, in marble, will be placed in St. George's Hall, Liverpool. The model of this, together with many other of the sculptor% works, may be seen at his studio in Bruton-street. COURT CIRCULAR.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. Holcrofes comedy of the Egad to Ruin was pro duced here last night, and Miss Rosa Bennett, a young actress, new to the London stage, appeared in the character of Sophia. Her debit was most suc cessful. She is a pretty young woman, somewhat under the middle stature, with a light figure, ani mated and expressive features, and a musical voice. Her reading of the part was admirable, and by no means common. Many clever actresses have made Sophia an awkward, vulgar hoyden—such a person as an accomplished gentleman could not possibly fall i❑ love with. Miss Barnett has seen the absurdity of this, and has represented Sophia as being, what the author certainly intended—a simple, innocent girl, brought up in retirement, and ignorant of the world—quite a child of nature, but at the same time gifted by nature with modesty, grace, and delicacy. Miss Bennett thus made Harry Dornton's passion for Sophia appear the most natural thing in the world, and her intelligent conception and charming performance of the cha racter removed any objection to the play on the score of probability. She was warmly applauded in every scene; and when she appeared before the curtain at the end of the play she was loudly and repeatedly cheered from every part of the louse. The play al together was very pleasantly acted. 21r. Leigh Murray's Harry Dornton was a feeling and manly performance ; Mr. Wigan's Goldfinch was full of vivacity, though occasionally somewhat extravagant, and verging on farce ; and Mrs. Selby was a capital Widow Warren. Mr. Stuart as Mr. Dornton, Mr. Rogers as Sulky, and Mr. Lambert as Silky, sus tained their parts with .good sense and propriety, The house was well filled. QUEEN S ROYAL THEATRE Tile admirers of dramatic entertainment who pa tronise this theatre have certainly no reason to com plain of any want of variety in its performances. The public are not allowed to tire of any single represen tation, but a constant succession of novelties are pro duced, all admirable of their kind and well calculated to ensure the gratification and amusement of the crowded audiences that nightly frequent this de servedly popular place of amusement. On Saturday evening were produced the romantic drama of Monte Christo, and the magnificent burlesque extravaganza of The Enchanted Wives. The former piece (as may be gathered from its title) is a dramatic adapta tion of Dumas' gorgeous romance, "Le Chateau. D'lf." The main incidents upon which the inte rest of this extraordinary work turns have been brought together and closely wrought up, so as to constitute a drama of deep interest. The amusing interlude of the Spitalfields Weaver, re quires some notice at our hands, as introducing to the witty and laughter-loving audience of the Queen's a new candidate for their smiles in the per son of Mr. J. L. Toole, who has proved himself a successful aspirant to the highest honours of mimetic art, and as a low comedian of undoubted talent has won for himself the decided and most flattering en comiums of the London press. His recent success at the Haymarket Theatre is spoken of as a perfect triumph, and his reception by a Dublin audience on Saturday evening would seem to ratify and confirm the admiring approval accorded to his comic perform ances by our Cockney neighbours. Mr. Toole, whose unmistakably Irish patronymic, as well as his racy vein of comic humour, seem to distinguish him as a son of the Emerald sod, has rendered himself eminent as a reconteur and utterer of good things amidst the social circles of London life. He is the son of Mr. Toole, long known and appreciated in London and its vicinity as " The Toast Master," one whose gifts as an entertainer of company, whose capabilities as a " master of revels," and whose sparkling wit and viva cious merriment as " lord of merry misrule," have ren dered his presence an indispensable requisite amongst a thousand circles where wealth is more rife than wit, and where the flashing repartees, and redundant anecdote, and spirit-stirring "chansons au boire," of the veteran Toast Master have been ever prized and welcome accessories to the intellectual attraction of many a costly banquet. Mr. Toole appeared as Simmons, the hero of the piece called the Spitalfields Weaver. His dressing of the part was in itself comic in the extreme, and his acting was such as to indicate a high degree of comic talent. The various ludicrous contretemps incidental to Simmons's introduction into polite society—in short, the blunders of a Cockney Paul Doherty—brought out Mr. Toole in a line of performance which seem to be his forte. He was enthusiastically applauded. In the last scene Mr. Toole favoured the audience with one of those reci tations a la Charles Mathews, entitled " The County Election," in which he evinced a wondrous power of vocal inflexion in imitating various characters, and displayed a high development of mimic talent ; but we must remind this clever aspirant that even a farce has, or ought to have, its unities, and such a display of mimetic power would have come better by itself. However, the audience were delighted, and Mr. Toole having been enthusiastically applauded before the curtain, took occasion to thank the audience for the kind reception accorded to him. The entertain ments will be repeated this evening, and Mr. Toole will appear again as Simmons in the Spitulfields Weaver.—Dublin Freeman's Journal, Oct. 4. ARGYLL ROOMS. The winter campaign has commenced in earnest at this favourite salle de danse, and now that the cold weather has set in we suppose tripping on the light fantastic toe will be the order of the day, or rather cf the night. That there is still a rage for dancing in the metropolis there cannot be a doubt; and, although our continental allies may take credit for being the first to develop the spirit of the art, it may fairly be questioned whether they can boast of more elegant ball•rooms, and more passionate votaries of Terpsi chore, than are to be found in the realms of phlegmatic John Bull. Certainly the Argyll Rooms stand unequalled, either at home or abroad, for the beauty of the decorations, the propriety of manage ment, or the perfection of the orchestra; and so long as those excellences exist there will be no lack of public support. During a brief recess, which recently took place, sufficient time was found to redecorate the rooms, and it is due to Mr. G. F. Bryer, the deco. rator, to state that he seems to have surpassed all his previous efforts in that respect. There is nothing extravagant about the embelishments, but, on the contrary, the colouring of the walls is both chaste and harmonious, while the galleries are furnished in a manner that blends elegance with comfort, an aim which should never be lost sight of in fitting up a large assembly-room like this. Nor should it be forgotten that N.

CASE OF STARVATION. Last evening Mr. Brent held aLI inquest in the Marylebone Workhouse en Joseph Shooberf, aged two years. The body weighed only fillas. Mary Tyon deposed th• t she was the 'landlady of the house, 18, Barrett's. court, where de ceased's father, mother, and their seven children occu pled one room. Five weeks ago the mother gave birth to an infant, when NN itriess vi ited her, end saw deceased lying in bed in a horribly filthy state, completAy exhausted. She asked the tneeher what ailed him 11 She replied, " Nothing." But witness examined him, and finding that he was starving, gave him some cold potatoes, which he eagerly devoured. Witnes3 some time after wards visited deceased, and always found him hungry end without food. He wasso exhausted that he could not move out of bed. The room had not a is-ticle of fur niture in it. She had seen the mother intoxicated, and sand things to pledge, since her confinement. On Friday her (witness's) husband, seeing the mother go out to the rewnbrokfr's, desired her to take the chil dren some food, as he was sure they were starving. She availed herself of the mother's absence, and took them food, which they seized, and voraciously ate. One chili was wholly naked, and the others were all but naked, and covered with filth. By a Juror—lt i s a f r i g h t f ul fact that all the chil dren in the neighbourhood are allowed to go in a state of semi-nudity. Margaret bunkirk, a lodger in the same house, corroborated the previous witltess. Isabella Shoobert, the mother, a wret,ehed, naked, half-starved creature, eaid that upon, awaking on Sunday morning she saw dee.,:-;sed looking queer, and called her husband, but deceased 'soon afterwards Expired. fie was stupid and ill from his birth, and She head to feed him on tops and bottoms. Herself, husband, and seven children slept on one bedstead. Deceased fell out of bed three weeks ago. She b a d buried two other children. Although her husband earned 233. a week she could not support her family. She had never applied for reli4 to the workhouse. She had not eaten anything that day, nor had she had n penny for the last three weeks, as her husband gave her no money. She could not bring the baby with her, for it was n a k e d. H er c hild ren were without £,od,but she did not know bow to apply to the: work house. Samuel Robert Shoobert stated that he imagined that the family bad enough for their support. It was only lately that his wife took to drink. He never saw his children from eight, A.M., to seven, p.m., hen he returned from work. He did not observe deceased muting away, as it was a puoy child from kirth. Foreman—l am astonished at your lying down on your bed knowing that your children were starving. You must be deprived of all feeling. Mr. Josephs, surgeon—All the children were filthy, naked, and starving. The infant would soon die the same death as the deceased, unless the paro chial authorities interfered. He made a post mortem examination of deceased. The body weighed Elba. lloz., and was only skiq and bone. It had neither fat nor muscle. The stomach and intestines were contracted and devoid of food. In all other respects the body was healthy. Deceased died from exhaustion, produced by the want of nourishment. Mr. Josephs concluded his evidence by calling upon the jury to request the parochial authorities to remove the sur viving children to the workhouse, as otherwise they would be starved to death. The CORONER, having summed up at great length, I the jury returned the following verdict :—" Deceased died from exhaustion, produced by the want of nourishment ;" to which finding the jury appended a censure upon the parents. The Coroner then called in the wretched parents, and having cautioned them as to their future conduct respecting their children, told them they narrowly es ca p e d a c h arge o f man slaughter, which verdict would have been returned had culpable neglect been fully proved. The jury further requested the Coroner to forward, without delay, to the parochial authorities the whole history of the horrible case, so that the other children might be instantly looked after and taken care of. The Coroner promised compliance with the request, and the court was then broken up. NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Yesterday the annual meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the New Zealand House, Broad-street-buildings, to receive the directors' re port, to elect officers, and to transact other buginess. Mr. G. Lyall, the deputy-governor, presided. The report, which was exceedingly long, set forth the claims of the company on the Government, the engagements entered into with the Canterbury Asso ciation, and the current expenses and other liabilities outstanding. On each of these heads the directors lamented that they were unable to make a satisfactory report. The Government had not yet settled one portion of the company's demands, and had settled the other in a measure short of the company's equitable claims. With the Canterbury Association the com pany is still in litigation. Out of the sums received from Canterbury during the past financial seer, amounting to 11,1937. Oa. 6d., a sum of 6621. 14s. sd. has been paid to the Government; and the debenture for 10,0001., bor rowed from the Baron de Goldsmid, has been paid off, but the interest on this debenture is still unpaid. For the bills held by the Union Bank of Australia, drawn on account of the Canterbury settlement, and amount ing to 14,9871. 6s. 2d,, exclusive of interest, 26 mem bers of the company have given, as collateral security, their personal promissory notes, to the amount of 14,460/, falling due on the Ist of next December. Before that date effective provision for meeting the said notes must be made. For such provision, failing every other resource, the directors will be compelled to make a call upon the unpaid-up capital of the company. The other outstanding liabilities, as stated in the annual accounts, amount to 4.0571. 41. 2d., exclusive of the sum of 5561. Hs. 4d., con. sidered to be chargeable to the Government, but as yet not admitted by the latter. Against these can be placed, at present, only such portions of the sums above mentioned as may be applied to the liabi lities incurred on account of Canterbury, and such sums as may be eventually allowed by the Govern ment towards the expenses incurred by the company between the sth July, 1850, and the 30th September, 1851, the latest date recognised by the Lords of the Treasury. This is one of the questions before alluded to as being not yet finally adjusted. Sir Ralph Howard and Lord Courtenay bad resigned their seats in the direction. Mr. Gowen, Mr. Piloher, and th ,, Baron de Goldsmid went out of office by rotation. After considerable discussion the report was adopted, and it was agreed that an adjourned meeting should be held on a suture day fir the purpose of going into some business details. Mr. Jeremiah Filcher and Mr. Gowen, the retiring directors, were unanimously re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. W IN TELLI GEN CE.
