A pleasant little musical drama (the drama by Mr. Mark Leman, the music by Mrs. Gilbert A Beckett), entitled the Young Pretender, was produced here on Sablay with complete success. The scene is laid in taifighlands immediately after the Battle of Culloden. Capt. O'Neal (Hudson), an officer in Prince Charles Edwards Army, makes his appearance at the house of a loyal old Scotch lady, Mrs. Craggie (Mrs. W. Clifford), who must have been a lineal descendent of the old lady of Tullietudlem, attended by a Highland Gillie, this Gillie being no less a personage than the Prince himself in disguise; of course every attention is paid to the Prince, who is about to sit clown to a hearty breakfast, attended upon by Capt. O'Neal, when Capt. Cocker. (Buckstone), of the Skye Militia, an Englishman and a partisan of the house of Hanover, enters, and the Cap tain is obliged to chastise his gillie for stealing his breakfast, in order not to awaken the suspicions of Cooker. In the meantime Mary Armadalo (Miss P. Horton), a quick witted young Scotch girl, the sweet heart of O'Neal, and to whom he has confided the secret of the Prince's disguise, manages by songs and signs to warn the Prince and O'Neal that Cocker is but the avant.coureer of a host of emissaries who are come to arrest the Prince. The dis guised gillie gets II p an extemporaneous quar rel with Cocker, and insults him us every possible manner. Cocker complains to O'Neal of the ill man ners of his servant, and O'Neal, to pacify the English man, orders his Highlani servant to quit his service and the house instantly. Is order to gain time for his escape, O'Neal bamboozles Cocker by telling, :him an interminable story about his Irish ancestors, and at last, holding a pistol to his head, frankly informs him that the Young Pretender is in the house, if he dares to arrest him. Mary enters in the Highland costume, and is introduced as the Young Pretender, and at length, by dint of promises, Cocker is fairly won over to the Prince's side by the magnificent promises made to him, and kneels down at the feet of the supposed Prince, to receive the honour of knighthood. The old lady, Mrs. Craggie, surprises him in this attitude, and Cocker, for hi. 3 own sake, is obliged to assist in deceiving his comrades when they arrive. He, however, reproaches O'Neal for hazing broken his word ; which, on the contrary O'Neal declares he has kept to the letter, for he has introduced him (pointing to Mary) to the Young Pretender. The fun of Buckstone, the, roystering of Hudson, and the singing of Miss P. Horton were well brought out in:this pleasant little piece. The masse, by Mrs. A. Beckett is graceful and appropriate. THE RIOT AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. M. Jullien has sent the following explanation of the 'riot of which an account appeared in our Saturday's impression: —" Near the proscenium of the theatre barriers have been erected, which, when the space before the orchestra is full, are closed, to prevent inconvenient crowding, which arrangement of course contributes more to the comfort of the audience than to the immediate profit of the manager. The barriers have each an inlet and an outlet, so that for every person quitting tke front another is allowed to enter. By the account in your paper it is made to appear that these barriers were erected for the first time on Friday night, whr-reas they have been used every night during the whole month, and have very greatly contributed to the convenience of the visitors. On Friday evening some five or six young men, who, from their general behaviour, appeared to have come with the intention of entertaining themselves at the expense of others, finding on their arrival that the front of the house was already filled, commenced de manding in loud tones that the barriers should be removed, which had it been done would have caused the greatest confusion. Your correspondent next states that I offered tickets for the next evening; what I said we;, that any persons wishing it might either have their money returned or tickets for the next evening. The ex count.proceecls thus:--- 1 The time having arrived for the, British army quadrille, the noise of which completely - drowned all attempts at further interruption, and the theatre having been considerably thinned, the first part terminated, but not until nearly an hour after its proper time. In answer to this, Sir, I beg to say, that the theatre was perfectly tranquil a quarter of an hour 'before the quadrille commenced, and during the piece . played immediately before it, and that the first act of the concert was not extended a quarter of an hour beyond the usual time. With regard to the theatre ' having been considerably thinned,' the door-keepers' returns show that out of the several thousands assembled in the building, so few were at all dissatisfi with the arrange ments,e, ft that only seventy-fiv e p e r s o l e ft the theatre, and availed thems e l ves o f th e o of having their money returned. These were chiefly persons who either thought the noise would be continued, or were fearful that some serious disturbance might take 'lace, for the half-dozen snaleontents did n o t o ff er t o leave. ' The police' (who never once attempted to use their truncheons as stated in the account) ' having interfered, the concert proceeded without fart/tor interruption.' With the ex ception of the few individuals endeavouring to force their way through this barriers, the disturbanceconsistad only in the noise of these persons, their vociferations 'being occasionally joined in, in a jocular manner, by some of the youths present. As to the house being over-crowded; the back part part of the promenade, at the time the disturbance commenced, was comparatively empty, the number of persons in the theatre being by several hundreds less than on former occasions. When the theatre is nearly full, it is always notified to the public on entering, and placards are placed at the doors, stating that the dress-circle, the promenade, or the whole . theatre (as the case may b e ) i s tell." ROBBERY OF DEEDS, NOTES, GOLD, &C. —On Thursday s.e'nnight an extensiv, robbery was effected during the night at the residence of Thomas Assheton Smith, Esq., cf Tidworth House, about nine miles from Andover. Between the hours of twelve and six in the morning some person entered the library of the mansion, and stole therefrom a strong box or chest, in which Mr. Smith kept his deeds, money, and other valuables. One of the female domestics, on coming down at half-past ve the following morning, perceived the library window open. She immediately gave information to the footman, whose duty it was to have shut the window before retiring to rest ; but as Mr. Smith was in the habit of generally taking the chest to his bed-room with him, the footman coolly replied to her, "Perhaps master has done so to-night ;" but at half-past seven such was found not to have been done. It was at first supposed that the robbery had been committed by an entrance through the window ; therefore, a diligent search was commenced immediately by the inmates through the ' house, outbuildings, shrubberies, plantations , carriage went all to no affect. Mr. Smith then ordered his a went over to Andover, and gave i n f ormat i on to Mr. Van, Santen, the superintendent of poli ce , wh o . was as quickly as possibla at Tidwortb, an d i mmediately proceeded to examine the premises, when he dis covered that the window and shutters could not have been broken open from the outside, and he was of opi nion that the thief was in thehouse. Mr. Van S an t en himself, on searching the premises, found the chest, with its valuable contents, concealed in a boiler in an out house. This outhouse stands in suc h a situation that anything there placed might have been removed any night after the family had retired to rest. The box was suffered to remain where it was found for some time, and the place was watched by the police, but no one came to fetch it away, and the place being so near the servants' hall that every domestic might know of there being a watch set; the box, with all its valuable contents was, therefore, removed to a more secure place of safety. On Saturday, an examination and .earth of some of the ser vants took place at. the mansion, before Sir John Pollen, one of the county magistrates, Mr. Lamb, the clerk, and Mr. Superintendent Tan Santen; but a report of what took place might tend to defeat the ends of justice. In the chest was Mr_ Smith's will, deeds to the amount of thousands, fifty 101. Bank of England notes, a quantity of gold, and other valuables.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 30, 1846. THE INDIAN MAILS. --- ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 15.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental arrived here on the evening of the 13th instant, with 120 passengers. She was de tained four days at Malta by the non-arrival there of that portion of the Indian mail sent viol France; conse quently it is only the Southampton portion of the mail, with the dates to the 23d of October, which has arrived here, and which went on the same night to Cairo and Suez, there to be put on board the steamer Hindostan for India. It is expected that the Hindostan will sail from Suez to-morrow evening, or at the latest on the morning of the 17th. The passengers who came by the Hindostan, and have paid their passage all the way through from India to Southampton, have been very impatient at the delay they experienced at Alexandria; some wished to have their passage-money returned, others demanded that their hotel expenses be paid for them by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's agents, who did not seam in clined to meet them in any way. Those passengers from India who took their berths only as far as Alexandria were very fortunate, as they proceeded to Trieste the day after their arrival here by the Austrian steamer, which sailed on the 11th. Her Majesty's steamer Ardent arrived here on the 13th inst., to wait for Lieutenant Waghorn's dispatches from Bombay, which she will convey to Trieste, to make the third trial of that route. Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who arrived here from Constantinople on the Bth in3t., proceeded to Cairo in one of the Viceroy's own steamers, which has been placed at the disposal of the Prince to convey his Iloyal Highness to the upper country. • It is supposed by the delay in the return of the Ariel to Alexandria, that the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany do not intend to run that steamer again to Mar seilles, in opposition to Lieutenant Waghorn's trials via Trieste; and it is, moreover, said that the Ariel is to take the place of the Iberia in the conveyance of the In dian mail between Malta and Alexandria. The weather has been very stormy here during the last week , an d the French steamer from Marseilles, due on the 11th, is only just reported in sight. The Oriental sails this day at noon for Malta and Southampton, with forty-five passengers and the Cal cutta mail cxf the Bth of October, which has been lying here since the 10th inst.

Morning .. 22 minutes after 9. I Evening .. 56 inmates after 9. wonderfully developed by the emulation resulting from foreign competition. British manufactures will no longer be hampered in their intercourse with foreign customers ; new markets will be opened to them ; their vast enterprise will extend through channels from which they have been hereto fore debarred. By the increased exertions, of the landed proprietors and tenant-farmers, the peasantry will be ensured a constant and remunerative em ployment. By the additional demands upon the manufacturers the operatives will obtain better op portunities for the exercise of their industry ; capital will ,be embarked in a thousand propitious speculations from which it was previously restricted ; artizans and farm-labourers will find themselves no longer sustained by a merely casual occupation ; our more 'frequent intercourse with other nations will render our friendship more valuable, and, consequently, the preservation of peace will be more readily insured ; the prosperity of the empire will be no longer variable and intermittent, but will be established, for the first time, upon a healthy foundation; no invidious preference will thenceforth be given by the Legislature to the interest of any one class ; but, beyond all, food will be abundant, nutritious, and accessible. This, we are aware, is an "oft-told tale," but we repeat it for a purpose. We repeat it, that we may thereby recall to public recollection the certain and magnificent advantages consequent upon the recent victory achieved in the British Parliament. We would for a moment revive to the world in so many words the vast and beneficent importance of the triumph s free-tra because d it e pri c mor e inestimable triumph the ore in was obtained over such eti mble prodigious and accumulated difficulties. The glory of this commercial conquest was not so much in its a of being gained in spite of the amazing wealth, the ter ritorial influence, the aristocratic power, and the Par liamentary animosity leagued together against it, as it was in being a conquest acquired over generations of misrule, and over prejudices than w hich none were ever more inveterate or universal. Who obtained this victory ? Who removed this ban ? Who dissipated this incubus ? Who van quished these prejudices ? Who abolished the per nicious sway exercised by this amazing wealth, this aristocratic influence, this Parliamentary animosity ? We are by no means ungrateful for the exertions of many estimable men fur the abrogation of the corn-laws and the opening of the ports. We would on no account depreciate the value of their services or detract (even by insinuation) from the importance of their different labours. We can never forget how valiantly, how consistently, how devotedly the Hon . CHARLES VILLIERS toiled for years in the cause of the people. We can never forget that he was pre eminently the popular champion in the days when free trade was a derision and a mockery. Neither can we forget the labours of Mr. BRIGHT, of the Right Hon. MILNER GinsoN, of Colonel InosirsoN, of EBENEZER ELLIOT, of W. J. Fox, and of several others, who, by their eloquence, their reasoning, their poetry, and their pamphlets, contributed to increase the weight upon the lever by which so much was to be ultimately moved. Their claims upon the popular thankfulness cannot be overlooked; their exertions cannot be forgotten so readily; their names are cherished in the hearts of the people. Bear ing these claims and these exertions distinctly in our recollection, we would, nevertheless, direct the attention of our countrymen to the paramount claims and predominant exertions of one man yet unmen tioned. We would remind our fellow-citizens, that as the late Prime Minister, Sir RO BERT PEEL himself, intimated on his memorable re signatien, if credit be especially due to one individual in the realisation of those glorious boons, that individual i 3 RICHARD COBDEN ; if the national gratitude is due to one benefactor, that benefactor is RICHARD COBDEN; if the vanquishment of so many opponents is attributable particularly to one leader, that leader is RICHARD COBDEN. So universal was the acquiescence in this opinion, that immediately on the passing of the great measures of 1846, it was determined to afford the Hon. Repre sentative of Stockport some tangible proof of the gratitude and admiration with which he was regarded by Englishmen. It was remembered that to his un tiring zeal, to his persuasive and frequently superb oratory, to his consistent logic, and unanswerable arguments, were traceable more immediately the im pulse of the blow by which the fabric of Protection was overthrown. It was seen, moreover, that in striv ing for the good of the people, CODDEN had not only grievously neglected his private interests, but had actually injured his constitution. Every one was aware of his distinguished integrity, of his noble forgetfulness of self, of the purity of his patriotism, and the absorbing ardour of his benevolence. Every one knew well enough that he had laboured not for any pecuniary recompense, but for the happiness and prosperity of the people. It was deemed, however, incumbent upon the nation to bestow upon RICHARD COBDEN some substantial testimony of its gratitude, and thereby to testify to future patriots the readiness of the population to acknowledge their ill us t r i ous services even during life. The COBDEN testimonial has already nearly reached the sum of eighty thousand pounds. Nevertheless, it is but right that this testi • monial should be completed forthwith. Further delays would be ungraceful. The sum, we have just observed, is something approaching to eighty thousand pounds. Of itself it is a splendid amount, no doubt ; but it is insufficient as a voluntary offer ing to such a man. It is insufficient, because the original proposition of those with whom it originated is remembered. Let us not on such an occasion, in celebration of such a victory, in honour of such a political champion—let us not haggle about cer t a i n additional guineas and shillings. Another twenty thousand, and the testimonial will be a hundred thousand pounds. - Surely we will not tender our hero less than a plum ? Another twenty thousand, and the offering indicative of the love which England bears to RICHARD COBDEN will be complete. Mr. COBDEN is now travelling through Continental Europe for the renovation of his health, but his fame has preceded him everywhere. In Paris he has re ceived the welcome of a liberator ; in Bordeaux he has met with the enthusiasm of the agriculturists • in Madrid, in Seville, and in Cadiz, ' Spain has received him with more than idle merely acclamations. Mr. COBDBN will be speedily returning homewards : what better opportunity for the presentation of the testimonial of English gratitude ? Let him, fellow-countrymen, be thus welcomed on his arrival ! We call upon you, as you prize the blessings conferred upon you, and your children, and your children's children by the eman cipation of commerce, we call upon you, as you appreciate its importance and revere the hand by which you have been thus nobly endowed, to welcome RICHARD COBDEN with that most appro priate welcome—to realise at once the comparative trifle by which the hundred thousand pounds will be completed—and at some fitting banquet (say in the scene of so many free-trade demonstrations, Covent garden Theatre, or elsewhere), to present that testi mony to one of the greatest of our national bene factors. Remember, our success is no common one, and, beyond all, remem b er th a t R ICHARD C OBDEN merits no ordinary reception on his return from his European pilgrimage ! We trust that Lord PALMERSTON, to whose energy and decision we are indebted for the possession of the island of Lubuan, will not permit the affairs of Spain and of Cracow entirely to engross his attention. It is in the East we must seek for a counterpoise to redress the balance of power, and we must seek for that counterpoise not by the triumphs of war or diplomacy, but lay the peaceful triumphs of commerce. The Eastern Archipelago consists of 12,000 islands, ac cording to the Arabian authors (and there is no reason to believe that their accounts are in this respect at all exaggerated) ) i n h a bit e d by an industrious and essentially comm erc i a l people, who are anxious to exchange the rich produce of their islands—gold camphor,; gums, spices, and, though last not least, birds'• nests, for arti c l es o f British manufacture. Some of our readers may be inclined to smile when we mention birds' -nest s as articles of traffic, but these birds'- nests form a most i mpo rtant article of commerce in the trade with China, where they are con sidered as the greatest delicacy, and where birds'-nest soup is held in even higher estimation than turtle soup is among the nations of the west. These birds' nests, which in China fetch immense prices, would be wil lingly exchanged by the natives of the islands for British manufactures, and thus, through our trade with the Celestial Empire, might be made the means of opening to us an immense market for British manufactures among the islands of the Aichipelago of the Indian Ocean. In addition to cultivating friendly and commercial relations with the inhabitants of these islands, and in enabling us to do so, the possession of Lubuan as a naval station and a commercial empo rium, and more especially (abounding as it does in the richest :coal-mines), as a steam-packet sta tion, will be invaluable, every effort should be used to open a communication with the Japanese empire. An embassy, cn a scale of magnificence worthy of the great empire from which it is sent, should be at once dispatched to the Court of Jeddo. A mission of this nature should have been dispatched by Lord ABERDEEN at the close of the Chinese war. That opportunity having - been neglected, we hope Lord PALMERSTON will now take advantage of one equally valuable, namely, the giving up of Chusan, notwithstanding the non-fulfilment by the Chinese of all the articles of the treaty they had entered into with us. This fact, so honourable to us, is well known to the Court of Jeddo, and cannot but produce a deep im pression in our favour, and render the Japanese far from averse to enter into a treaty with a mighty and powerful nation, which so scrupulously observes its engagements. That such favourable dispositions towards England exist in Japan there can be little doubt. Still less doubt can there be that Lord PALMERSTON is both able and willing to take advan ;age of them. The St. Petersburgh Gazette announces that the Russian troops, on the 16th of October, defeated ScITAMYL, killing SOO of his followers, and taking four pieces of cannon, 21 caissons, several colours, 300 prisoners, and the axe which was always carried before him. Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. They confirm the intelligence, which appeared exclusively in Tic Sun of Thursday, of the defeat of SA DA 13AN DELIA, by CAZAL, near Chaves. They also publish a letter from Lisbon, which states that Colonel WYLDE had gone to Oporto to mediate between the Junta and the QUEEN, and that there was every prospect of his efforts being crowned with success. The ClaKior Publico publishes a letter from Man resa, of the 13th, stating that a Carlist band of two hundred men had appeared in Catalonia. Their war cry is— " Carlos VI.! The Constitution of 1837! Death to the tributary system !" The Carlists are persuaded, adds the same epistle— " That in a few days they will dispose of a formidable force, seeing what the feelings of the neighbouring country people are. It is probable that we shall be hold a renewal of the melancholy scenes of the last civil war." Mr. HENDERSON, the agent of the Spanish bond holders, had had several interviews with Senor MON, the Fi►►ance Minister, and was well pleased with his reception. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal des Debuts copies from the Austrian Observer, of the 20th, an article of enormous length, which is evidently put forth by the three Powers as an official justification of their conduct in destroying the independence of Cracow. This article is only an amplification of the manifesto of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, which has been already published, and is, to use the words of the Journal des Debits, " a mere piece of special pleading in favour of the worst cause ever known." The National of the same day contains an address from the Democracy of France to the Democracy of Europe, in the name of the Committee of the National and the Reforme. This address, which is signed by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, MM. DE COURTATS, LEDRU ROLLIN, GUINARD, GOUDCITAUX, FERDINAND FLO CON, and ARM AND MARRAST, and which is drawn up by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, is to be translated into every European language, and 500,000 copies of it circulated in every country of Europe. After pro testing against the extinction of the nationality of Poland, it calls upon the democracies of all nations to rise, and thus addresses her oppressors and tyrants : "We thank you. By tearing the last veil that con= cealed you, you have dissipated the last illusion of minds too confiding, removed the last pretext for cowardly in.: action from the timid and feeble, and hastened your ruin and the downfal of 3 our detested sway. There existed similar compacts, denominated treaties by you, which covered your conspiracies against the human family, doomed by you to eternal slavery. You have torn those treaties. You have abolished all positive right; you proclaim the natural right, the imprescriptible right, which guarantees an existence to every nation, as w ell as to every individual, to be null and void in your eyes; the right of force is the or,ly right you recognise. Let force, then, decide between you and us I In the insane pride inspired to you by your material power, which we dread not, because we believe in another power —in the power of real right, in the power of duty—you declare war against all nations, against society itself, which only lives by duty and right. Well, we accept that war. War on those conditions becomes a holy war, and is to us synonymous with victory, otherwise God would not be God. It will no doubt produce martyrs, but, after the struggle, you will appear humble, not before a Szela and his sanguinary instrument, but before social justice, which is both upright and inexorable. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth; there also will be the pure joy elicited in the hearts of nations by the assurance of a better fate. Democrats of all countries, brethren united by the same faith and the same hope, combine your efforts in one common and unrelenting action. Hoist amidst enslaved Europe the standard of emanci pation. Let nations startle at its sight, and, by an unani mous exertion, burst asunder their fetters. The hour has come for everybody to perform his duty as a man. To-day the combat—to-morrow the triumph ! Rise, then!" In the National of Saturday there appears a reply to this energetic appeal, signed by the Central Polish Committee of the Democratic Society, on behalf of 1,462 of their countrymen, which concludes thus : " You have seen Poland protest, arms in hand, on a hundred fields of battle ; you will again see her do so ; she is preparing for fresh struggles, and the last crime perpetrated will hasten the hour of her freedom. The Vienna treaties no longer exist. That compact of spoliation, which never bound Poland, has been destroyed by those who made it. Instead of it, arises the alliance of nations ; and it arises more powerful than ever. None can break it up." The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho ' rising the Minister for Foreign Affairs to open an extraordinary credit of 290,000 francs, to defray the expense of extraordinary missions. The same official journal contains a notice of the Minister of Marine, announcing that a supply of ' 4,000,000 kilogrammes of coal will be adjudicated at Rochfort on the 19th of December, 1840, and that a lot of 500,000 kilogrammes of coal for coke, third another of 4,000 hectolitres of slack for forges, a 500,000 kilogrammes of Welsh coal, and a fourth of 4,000,000 kilogrammes of sea coal, and 400,000 kilo grammes of new English cast iron , will be likewise adjudicated at Nantes on the 26th of the same month. The Siècle in commenting on the extraordinary credit again opened to the Minister for Foreign Affairs asks, "And what have we bought with all this mo ey 9 The contempt of England, and outrages from the Northern Powers, which our diplomacy has not foreseen, and against which it has not had the courage to protest." The Presse of Friday contradicts the rumour that had appeared in sonic': of the other papers, to the effect that Count MOLE had had an interview with the KING in the early part of the week, and says that Count MOLE has not been in Paris, nod will not be there until December 10. On Saturday, however, Count Mots, who, according to the Presse, was to have remained at Champlatreaux until the 10th De cember-, arrived in the capital, and immediately after wards had a long interview with Count MONTALIVET, he head of the Civil List Department, the confidential agent of Loris PHILIPPE in all political affairs, and who was a member o f th e C a bi net in the last MOLE Ministry. Count .MONTALIVET, before seeing Count MOLE, had a long interview with M. DUCICATEL, the Minister of the Interior, between whom and M. GUIZOT differences are known to exist. Should Count MOLE form a Ministry, he will, it is said have the support of M. TIMES and his party. BOUR,SE—PAnts, SATURDAY, Nov. 28.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool market on Faturday the sales of Cotton were 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 were on specula tion. The sales comprised 6,000 bales of American at sd. to 6d. per lb., and 1,200 Egyptian at 70. to Bd. The market was very firm. Shares and scrip rather im proved in price. • It is with much regret that we have learnt this morn ing, that at a meeting of spinners and manufacturers held at Ashton at the close of last week, it was agreed for a limited time to work short hours. At Oldham and its vicinity the principle has been fully adopted. With weather such as that which has just set in, the re duction in the rate of wages will be a most material draw , back upon the comforts of the labouring population, which are not very bounteous even when the mills are at full work. There is a feature in the state of the Cot ton Market, at Liverpool which is rather important at the present juncture. The rage for speculation in the staple has fallen off very considerably, and should the next accounts from the United States prove more satis factory, as respects the yield of the new crop, prices must recede and increased activity be imparted to the manu facturing districts. At Mark. lane to-day the price of Wheat has been reduced by ls. per quarter, there having been a good supply from the home countries. It is now pretty con fidently believed that prices of Grain have seen their highest for this year at least. There are, as yet, no later accounts from the United States or Canada. It is very confidently believed, how— ever, that late in the day some advices will come to hall& by the: Halifax steamer, which is now entirely due. In the Stock Exchange, the value of Consols is scarcely so high now, as it opened in the morning. The pries. for the account has ruled from 951 to 95/, and for money at 95+. The Three-and-a-quarter per Cents. Reduced, are at 95i to 96, and the Three per Cents. Reduced are at 931. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is at 7s. to 10s. The quotation for Brazil Stock to-day, is 84, and for Mexican 21k, and for the Account. Portuguese are at 37i; Spanish at 26* 1 ,1; the Three per Cents. at 37i i; the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 93; while the Four per Cent. Certificates have advanced from 911 to 92k.

A word to our fellow-countrymen. Beforc the last Parliamentary session our commerce, our manu facture:7, and our agriculture, were under the ban of class legislation. That ban has been removed in defiance of the most enormous obstacles. With the arrival of 1849 the population of England will be invested with new liberties, will be endowed with prerogatives hitherto unknown, will receive a physical, social, and political advancement. That year will be one of the grandest epochs in the emancipation of millions : it will he held in perpetual and grateful remembrance. The provisions of a whole people will not then be depeident upon the casualties of a single climate; th prices of food will no longer fluctuate with the vicis situdes of the atmosphere or the deficiencies of vege tation. British agriculture will be relieved from the incubus of protection, and its capacities will be FLA.NDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—The Chamber of Repre sentatives %cm engaged to-day with the discussion of the budget of affairs, the general thbate was closed, and the first chapter adopted. In the general discussion Messrs. Our and Verlaegen obtained the mission of the Prince de Chirney to Rome, as Envoy Extraordinary pro tempore, considering that under this title the mission might be as long RS the Prince might choose to make it. The Minister for Foreign Affairs stated that the mission of the Prince de Chimey to Italy, were rendered necessary by the accession of his Holiness Pius IX., and by the pro ject of a treaty to be concluded between Belgium and the Neapolitan Government. The Minister proved that the retribution allowed to that envoy does not exceed that generally granted to El voys Extraordinary, and explained that the Prince de Chimey had been obliged to go to Paris, in order to .confer with the Serro Ca priole, the Neapolitan Ambassador. A discussion arose on the refusal of the Government to ratify an increase of the " Octroi" imposed on foreign brandy by the municipal council of Brussels. The Min isters for Foreign Affairs and the Interior explained that the increase of duties would be offensive to the French Government, which had hitherto been very fa vourable to the representatives of Belgium, but which will not hear of this increase, they added that not only this increase of duty was contrary to the good under standing between the two nations, but that it would be impolitic at a moment when France is probably going to maintain the ancient lines for cast iron. BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—Tho Chamber of Representa tives today resumed tl:e discussion of the articles of the budget for foreign affairs. In reply to some observations of M. Ory, the Minister for Foreign Affili!s, leclared that negotiations were on foot for the conclusion of treaties between Belgium and :zpain, and also between Belgium and BreziL The Moniteur contains a royal decree introducing some modifications relative to steam-engines; this decree contains a complete system of police regulations relative to fixed steam-engines of every kind as well as to loco motives.—Brussels papers, Nov. 28. VIENNA, Nov. 21.—1 n the last number of the Grenz loten, we find the following article :—The accounts from Galicia are extremely unsatisfactory. If anything can save us from new disorders in the following winter, it will be the scarcity of ready money and the scarcity of provisions in Galicia. The distress and failure of crops, which have afflicted that unhappy country for two years, now added the burden of the quartering the troops, which will be rendered still more heavy by the addition of three more regiments, which have orders to march to Galicia. The military are quartered in the country in small divisions, according to the size of the village. In addition to this, the peasant must be driven, by force, into the fields, to cultivate them ; he performs his work in a slovenly manner ; he rather ruins the land, than cultivates the estate for the nobles, which, in his opinion belongs to him. LEEDS DISTRICT COURT OF BANK RUPTCY, lVov. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner BURGE ) IN RE EARL MEXBOROUGII. On Thursday week, a fiat in bankruptcy came down to this Court against John Savile, Earl Mexborough, of Methley Park, and describing his Lordship as a share broker, jobber, dealer and chapma2. The solicitor to the fiat was Mr. John Smith, of Bir mingham, and the petitioning creditor a Mr. Joseph Joel, of London, a Jew money-lender. On Saturday, the case was first mentioned to his Honour, on an application to open the fiat, when several witnesses, chiefly from London (including the Honour able Frederick Savile), who had been summoned, were in attendance. _ _ _ Mr. Dyson, of Halifax, and Mr. Courtenay, of Leeds, attended on behalf of Lord Mexborough. One of the witnesses was to produce a deed by which the solicitor to the fiat intended to prove an act of bank ruptcy, but being unable to prove the trading of the alleged bankrupt, his Honour refused to order the pro duction of the deed until the preliminary question was settled.inamely, whether the party was a trader. It was stated that Mr. T. M. Lee, of Leeds, solicitor, was in a condition to prove the trading, but his attendance was required in London, under subpona from the superior courts, and he would not be able to return to Leeds be fore Saturday night. Under the circumstances, Mr. SMITH applied for an adjournment until Monday. During the sitting of the Court the petitioning cre ditor proved his debt for 250/. on a bill drawn at four months. His HONOUR gave liberty to Mr. Courtenay to appear for Lord Mexborough during the future proceedings re specting the fiat. ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH', NOY. 29. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL HORNSBY.—lntel ligence has been received at Woolwich of the death of Lieutenant-Colonel John Romaine Hornsby, of the Royal Artillery, who expired at St. Helena on the 10th of October. The deceased officer was created Lieutenant- Colonel by the late brevet of the 9th instant, and the in telligence of his death had consequently not reached Woolwich at that time. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles B;ackley, of the Royal Horse Artillery, having been ordered to Ireland to relive Colonel T. Dyneley in the command of the Royal lore Artillery at Portobello, Dublin, has sent in his resignation, and received permis sion from the Master-General to retire on full pay, hav ing been in the service 43 years. In consequence of his retirement the following officers will be promoted : Captain and Brevet Major R. Clark to be Lieutenant- Colonel ; Second Captain G. V. Cockburn to be Cap tain ; First Lieutenant C. W. Younghusband to be Second Captatn ; and Second Lieutenant A. M. Calvert to be First Lieutenant. The command of the Royal Artillery at Portebello will devolve upon Lieutenant- Colonel M. Louis, as the senior officer of the Royal Horse Artillery. Lieutenant-Colonel T. Gordon Hig gins will be appointed to succeed Lieutenant-Colonel Blackley in the Royal Horse Artillery. A DAY OF HUMILIATION.—Thursday is to be ob served throughout Scotland, by the various denomina tions of Presbyterian Evangelical Dissenters, as a day of humiliation, on account of the afflictive visitation of Pro vidence in the potato failure. The fugitive clerk, Cowap, who absconded from Wingate Colliery with nearly 6001 belonging to his em ployers, Lord llovvden and partners, and who was ap prehended at Ghent, is said to be again at liberty. The whole of the money, with the exception of his " travel ling expenses," and the cost of his " gentlemanly" outfit —his gold watch, ring, wig, imperial, and moustaches— having been recovere d , i t h as not b een th oug ht wor th while to bring , him to this country for prosecution.— Newcastle Chronicle. held aUtG the Jolly DEATH H ANXIETY.—On yCoopers, S p a u t b ll l Y ie d - a h y ou ß s ll e, in quest was h T i n - Clerkenwell-close, on view of the body of Mary Moore, aged 65, whose death occurred under very melancholy circumstances. It appear e d th a t some months ago the deceased had her pocket picked cf 220/, an d having rea son to suspect that the robbery was committed by two men that were then employed by her in doing some re pairs, she gave them into custody, but they were liberated at Clerkenwell Police-court for want of evi dence. Subsequently they brought an action against the deceased for false imprisonment, which was to have been tried on Thursday last ; and during that and several previous days she expressed great anxiet y as t o the result, expressing an opinion that she should have to go to prison, and die there, for the damages and costs of the suit. That fear operated so powerfully on her frame that she gradually became more enfeebled, and in the afternoon she sunk exhausted into the arms of Mrs. Davis, a neighbour, who had known her for years, and before medical advice could be procured she died, in the presence of several members of her family. The jury expressed themselves satisfied that the death had re sulted from over anxiety of mind, and returned a verdict to that effect.
