AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TEL ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP ATLANTIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. At half-past eight this morning the United States Steam Ship Atlantic, Captain West, arrived in our river with 110 passengers, 382,000 dollars i❑ specie on freight, and the semi-weekly mails from the United States and British America, to the 16th in-: stant inclusive, on which day at noon the Atlantic left New York. The Royal Mail Steamer America had arrived out. at Boston. The steam ships Sierra Nevada and Illinois bad arrived at New York from California, with two mil lion dollars in gold dust, but no hater news from the golden state than that previously to hand, and brought to this country by the Canada on Sunday last. Two great meetings had been held in New York on the subject of Cuba; one in Broadway on the 13th, and the other iu 'Tammany Hall on the 14th. Violent speeches were made in reference to the con duct of the Cuban authorities in the seizure of the mails and passengers of the American ships Cornelia and Crescent City. The cotton market was firm at New York when the Atlantic sailed, prices having an upward ten dency, sad half a cent per lb. more was given for middling qualities than when the Canada sailed from Boston. The breadstuff market also was firm, and both wheat and flour, especially the former, in good de mand at fully previous quotations. Provisions were in fair demand ; and prime mess pork sold more readily at 17.75 to 17,87 - • beef, 11.50 to 14.; Lard, 11:;c. to 123. A good inquiry for naval stores, with a slightly better rate of quotations. Freights were unaltered as to value either to Lon don or Liverpool ; but there was a little more inquiry, and business looked brisker in that department. Foreign exchange was in good request : bills on London at 1104 to 1104; Paris, 5.121 to 5.13 i. The money market was easier, and the rates of discount a trifle lower. FRANCE. A large batch of names of military persons deco !z, rated with the Legion of Honour or military medal t•„: nppears in the Moniteur. There is also a vast num ber of addresses in favour of the Empire. The Journal des Debars gas arrarticle on' tha con denaoation of the Mac on which it is hardly necessary to say this distinguished print takes part with the deputation now on its way to Florence with a remonstrance from Protestant countries against the infamous sentence of the Florentine Court. The bebats takes occasion to refer with satisfaction to the replies of Louis Napoleon to Protestant addresses, during his late tour, promising that the rights of conscience should be respected. 0 Th-reUSa 0f f Ithe1 t he Ur IS k" Go vernment to ratify. , the loan maybe considered` the leading topic of the ja t i r t u ati als• Thwfailu re o f the negoc i at i ons with the would seen to have. piqued parties in the TFrench eapital,'the more so, se the fact of the first erk,ish loan opened in Europe having taken place in Paris had ~ been a source >of boasting- in financial quarters.

The Pays, which on Monday expressed itself kindly and generously to- W..ards Turkey, rather changed its tone yesterday, to uke extent of being menacing:— with "he Marquis do Lavalette (he says) has sustained energy the policy of the loan, and the acts of the Ottoman legation at Paris.

Eut . the T it t b is, that .the affair is become a national question. zatikeosTiarrnkdiah people, says our correspondent, have P r j il repugnances that the will of the Sovereign 'allot overcome, and the Turks have so false an idea of 41,1f2reign loan, that it is not in the power of the Govern- Anv_u_te.to make them comprehend the advantages of this 4qqe. nil resource; it may be done eventually, but it will uir e many years to do it.

Z r ,; l en as it s h a l l have been settled, the reorganisation „"ne Cabi net will be attended to. The Grand Vizir appears decided on making numerous changes. The Orions destined to form part of the new Cabinet were already spok en o f, and among them were several men of k nown talent. It is expected that the nominations will be made between the 15th and 20th inst. Ismayl Pacha. grandson of the famous Ali Pacba of Janina, has just been named governor of the islands of the 4,r6hipela go , i n t h e room of Safetti Pacha. Ottoma n The of Prince C a lli mak i , Turkish Ambassador at P recall aris, is official, but hi s successor is not yet known. Votz Pacha, ao n of the President of the Council, had been at first spoken of, and it is probable that he will be appointed, but no decision has yet bee n come to. " The Gazette de Lyon has received a warning for u aving, in its zeal for the observance of th e S a b bath, b lamed the authorities for allowing the Paris and L Y o ns Railway works to be prosecuted on Sund ays . Cons idering that two warnings justify the suspension of aJ • leurnal, this is a harsh step on the part of the r 'f ect, the more e spe c ially as the writer had been ed into error by taking the stipulation made with %vernuaent contractors that works fur the Govern kent shall not be pursued on Sundays for a ge . neral orde r, appli ca bl e to ra i lway wo k s.

Madrid journals and correspondence of the 21st inst. have arrived. The C.Jurt had returned to Madrid from an excursion to Ponton de la - Olive. The . Royal family had expressed themselves highly satisfied with the works tor bringing a fresh supply of water to the capital : it is stated by the engineers that they will he in effective operation within two years, and thus the want of 'Water, froth' which * the inhabitants have often suffered, will no longer be felt. The fortress of the Mole, at Mahon, was duly in augurated o❑ the 10th inst. by the Captain-General of the Baleric Isles, the Bishop of Minorca, *and other authorities, who arrived there on that day in the Piles steamer. The Bishop performed service in the church, round which the troops were drawn up, and blessed the flag, which the Captain•general himself placed on the bulwarks, addressing the troops at the same time. A general salute of 200 guns was then fired ; the garrison had extra rations on the occasion; and a substantial dinner was provided for 1,400 labourers, who had been working at the fortifications. Tne nevi fortress is named after the Queen. Madrid Bourse, Oat. 21.—The Three per Cents., 47,1 ; Exchange on London, 50 80 paper. GERMANY. The representatives of Bavaria, Saxony, Hesse Cassel, and Hesse Darmstadt had already arrived in Vienna, for the opening of the new customs confer ences, and the plenipotentiaries of the other Germany Governmects who have been invited, were expected shortly. The conferences will probably commence at the close of this month. The Minister for Foreign Affairs is said to have given his full assent to the political schedules drawn up in,the trade department. The system of the customs union, as contained in the documents of 1849 and 1850, is to be so far modi fied that a customs union may be entered into with all the German states which agree with the propo :.ition as early as the lat January, 1854. The state ment that Austria has declared herself ready to con chide a-customs union convention with the Darmstadt allies, to guarantee to them the fixed amount of their present customs revenues, and to open its own fron tiers on the Ist January, 1854, is again brought for ward in a more decided form. The intelligence announcing that the Prince Pre sident of the French Republic had resolved to accept the Empire produced so profound a sensation in the highest circles in Berlin, that all the Ministers who were in the capital at the time immediately held a Cabinet council, and dispatched a courier with haste to the King. His Majesty. came to the.capital in the evening (of the 24th) accompanied by Baron' Mautenffel, and a council was again assembled for the purpose of definitively drawing up the instructions which are to be given to Count Von Hatzfeld, his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris., , intelligence has been received in Berlin: - froth 13rtnisikick which is extremely vexations to thePrns-. Sian Zollverein. It appears that Brunswick has suf fered itself to be carried over to the side of Austria, and that, like Hanover, it has determined to observe an expectant attitude. It is certain that Brunswick has refused, up to this moment, to renew a customs treaty with Prussia. It will send a plenipotentiary to the conferences at Vienna—not to take part in the discussions, but to be present there as a reporter. It is talked of in Berlin to withdraw from circula- ITOalha - eitistins papei f4t4cis'it tmotEer piper; for it is -considered 'desirable thati there should he only kind-of , paper money in dir t: culaticm;.-! - The - c.hange veil pldbithly - bb saitroducett at the ,beginnaks of the year. • Hamburgh. l 4aas been visktedlast„wee4 by two de7ekates frota a, wealth - 3i anclinfluential English corn. pany, who,„ lir:conjunctioa . .With some Dutch capita lists, havd retolod to el c 4 a 46.sited*railWay ,colt;' munication to 'Bieitien,"Cila;otierg, - Taut, Groningen, Leuwarden, and Harlingen ; and thus to connect tiamburgh by the shortest possible route to Holland, and also- to England. From Groningen a branch line will be laid down from Zwolle to Utrecht, to join the Netherlands Rhenish line; which latter con nects Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The importance of the projected line (says the Hamburgh Borsenhalle) to the whole of Northern Germany and of Holland is so self-evident, that it is scarcely necessary to name it. It is, therefore, per fectly natural that the said delegates received most binding assurances from our public authorities to do everything to forward the undertaking, similar pro mises have already been given by the Netherlands, Oldenbergh, and Bremen authorities. It is much to be wished that Hanover would act equally favourable to the project, and that the concession asked for by the company may be granted with as little delay as possible. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. Robert Gadsnzark, aged 28, a letter-carrier, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a post-office letter containing an order for 5/., the property of the Postmaster-General. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner formerly kept a receiving-house at Wal worth, but it was removed from his slabs) in consequence of his being unfortunate in business. He subsequently applied to the Postmaster-General for employment, and was engaged as assistant letter-carrier in Lambeth; and it was while he was so employed that he stole the letter containing the post-office order, which he succeeded in getting cashed. He was sorry to add that this was not the only offence of the same kind committed by the prisoner. The Chief Baron intimated that he would postpone passing sentence. TURKEY. Prom the justificative reason given by the Divan for rejecting the transaction of the Turkish loan, it would appear that M. Couturier, the agent of the Bank of Constantinople, and the Prince Callimaki, had acted precipitately by concluding the affair pre vious to is being ratified by the Sultan. The minis ters are unanimous in opinion that the 20 per cent. premium is an imposition ; other parties having come forward who offer, 2,3, or even 5,000,000 sterling at 51 per cent., and without premium. The Sultan had sent an immense quantity of plate and jewellery to the Mint. They have been returned to him, accompanied by a written statement that the financial embarrassments of the Government were not in such a sad condition as to require such an ex pedient. The Armenian bankers have scraped together 400,0001., and the Turkish Ministers about 250,000/. These sums suffice to relieve the exigencies of the moment. ALLEGED DEATH FROM HOMOEOPATHY. Yesterday, Mr. Wskley, accompanied . by Mr. Brent, his deputy, held at the Hope and Anchor, Gloucester place, Bedford New Town, an inquest of five hours' duration on this late Mrs. Margaret Sedgewick, aged 60, whose death was attributed to homeopathic treat ment. The inquest-room was crowded by medical men, parochial authorities, and friends of the deceased, who took the deepest interest in the inquiry. Maria Cox, a nurse, deposed, that she attended de ceased from the previous Tuesday until Friday, when she died. She gradually got worse until Friday morn ing, when she died. She was sensible within a few mo ments of death, Mr. Samuel aedgwick, deceased's husband, said, that on . Sunday fortnight deceased was- taken ill, when he gave her two antibilious pills. She wai much worse on the following Tuesday, and at her request, he called on Mr. David Griffith Jones, the homoeopathist, who said that she suffered nut from stoppage of the bowels, but from inflammation of the lungs. At the time she suffered from pain in the stomach and difficulty of breathing. Sunday week her daughter, who had no faith in homcea paihy, sent Dr. M'Clowell, her own physician, to attend her mother, and he told him that deceased was rapidly oinking, and that unless she had other treatment she would assurediy die. Witness told that to Mr. Jones, requesting him to have a consultation with one of " the old practice." Mr. Jones declined the proposal, saying " they will doctor her to death." , Dr. Epps was then sent for, and he held a consultation with Mr. Jones, on Monday. After which they declared it a hopeless case, and that deceased's complaint was a forertuatier of others, and the droray had set in. Whereupon witnetorresolved to got rid of the homeopathic treatment, and•revert to "the old practice." Accordingly he senrcor Mt: M'Clowell and Dr. Baley, and also engaged anew nurse. Mr. A. C. M'Clowell, surgeon, ..29, Harley-street, said that on Sunday week he visited deceased at her daughter's request. He believed that he had Certified correctly, end that death resulted from inflammation of the lungs and peritoneum. And he was also of opinion that death was caused by the neglect of the homoeopa thists and the nullity of the medicines.

THE DUEL NEAR WINDSOR. WOODIN'S " CARPET BAG." A delightful entertainment is now being given nightly by Mr. W. S. Woodin—a gentleman hitherto unknown to any audience in the metropolis—at the charming little theatre once popular as the " Adelaide Gallery," and recently frequented as the arena of the Marionettes. As we had the gratification of ourselves witnessing on Monday evening the skill of Mr. Woodin, as a caterer to the public taste for amusement, we can speak authori tatively of his very genial humour and really surprising abilities. Since the famous " Evenings at Home," of good, wry-faced, limping, merry-conceited old Charles Mathews, we have had nothing at all comparable to the " Carpet Bag and Sketch-Book" of our young Polypho nist. We say this without without any disparagement for Love—for Love is principally admirable for his mar vellous powers of ventriloquism. Love, for the most part, surpasses others mainly by his astounding capacity and awszing adroitness in the more eccentric class of vocal imitations. He will bring clearly before you every cry that can be heard in the farm-yard, as clearly as over could Paganini on that one miraculous string of his violin. Charles Lamb used to say of Munden, that "he understood a leg of mutton in its quiddity." And so may we say of Love, that he seems to have penetrated as fully as ei1 , 3 , F.0p himself, the mysteries of the language squeaked, grunted, chirped, hummed, quacked, gabbled, barked, or mewed, by the vari ous denirance of the animal, the bird, or the insect kingdom. He will give you a bee in a beak as you might fancy could only be done by a bee in a bottle itself. lie will describe the whole of a fight between a couple of dogs—fierce, fast, and furious—until you shall really begin to have serious thoughts about hydrophobia. It is in this way that Love continues, to our mind, alto gether to this moment unrivalled. But Woodin's talents are of a totally different character. He does entirely what Love attempts only, so to speak, incidentally. He represents in his own person a whole mob of imagi nary personages. Ono feels inclined to read the Riot Act to him, as Sir Walter Scott said he felt disposed to do when he first listened to Alexandre. Never was such a Proteus! Captain Absolute was nothing to him. And as for Cerberus—here is a head that seems to be multi plied, not by three, but thirty. Mr. Woodin possesses, in truth, a flexibility in the features and an adaptability in the organs of articulation, that must prove to every visitor to his entertainment, matter for absolute astonish ment. We should like much to know the opinion enter tained in regard to his bumps of imitation by some practised phrenologist. The very character of these entertainments at the Marionette's Theatre is singularly clever, and distinguished, moreover, by the somewhat rare merits of being both novel and diversified. Upon one side of tho stage is she customary desk and lamps of a lecturer. Opposite these there is propped up against the wall a gigantic carpet bag, such as one might expect our old friend Blunderbore would carrY; supposing he should ever take it into his head to pay a visit to his cousins in the land of Brobdignag. In the back ground, or, as they say in the prompter's books, in the flat ap pears a sketch-book of correspondingly vast dimensions. Furnished with these accessories, Mr. Woodin talks to his audience pleasantly over the top of the desk, telling them all sorts of queer anecdotes—especially that one of the speculator, who was driven by untoward circum stances to be at once " money-taker " and " concert "-- and flings at the heads of his hearers from between the two !slips as many quips, cranks, and, p eas , as M. itoteTitAtsludiu used to toss out of.liis hat Showers of floeiere nad bonbons. Tb;'i •pians ineprticulai etoyse . - a were pelted at ea unmercifully on Monday,night—some. e'ei them; 'too, ealixcenciatingly good or (which is pretty Much the came thing) so deliciously eXecrable! Through the- evening, moreover, the magic sketch book in the back ground was continually die closing a new picture of some old familiar spot in or near the metropolis—showing sometimes really very meritori ous powers on the part of Mr. Woodin as an artist, powers more particularly visible, we may remark, in the paintings of the Tower of London and of the Hospital at Greenwich, of One Tree Hill, and of the view at Rich mond. Besides all this—rather, we should say, immea surably beyond all this—there are the vocal and visual illustrations or impersonations, which constitute the chief delight of the entertainment. Under new names, we meet with a store of old acquaintances, There is the servant of all work, Martha Mivins, who has (we are sure of it) lineally descended from Miss Miggs, being, moreover, a blood relation (we are certain) of Susan Nipper. Then there is Sir Benjamin Bungle, with his capital stories, the point of which he never can recollect, any more than the gentleman in cloth boots, who spent the evening at Bob Sawyer's lodgings in Lant-street, mentioned towards the close of the historian's narrative of the career of the immortal Pickwick. As to Major Bluster, who is never to be humbugged as an old tra veller, lie is unquestionably a brother in arms of Arthur O'Leary, if he has not been also on bowing terms with both Major Bagsteck and Major Pendennis. No doubt, again, that Mr. Sampson Busty has dined before now, sipping wine and cracking walnuts, with that honest old drysalter, Ephraim Hardcastle. Little Mrs. Muddle, also, wonderful little Mrs, Muddle, must, we would wager, trace her genealogy on one side to the family of Miss Mowcher, of corn-cutting renown, and on the other to that of worthy Mrs. Jarley, of wax-work celebrity. Ben Binnacle is, in another way, a very accurate copy from one of those " genuine old originals," the Greenwich pensioners. But what shall we say, what can we pos sibly say, of the oldest inhabitant—good, gentle, bene volent Mr. Oliver Oldstyle? What—but that it is a creation, and a very beautiful one, moreover. The song sung by Mr. Woodin in this character is charmingly clever, and we doubt not must command a wide and lasting popularity. With these materials, and an operatic illustration, the first part of the entertainment is brought to a conclusion—the operatic illustration, by the way, being (although with several capital bits in it) rather too much of an extravagance. In the second and con cluding part, we learn, through a huneourous ditty— admitting, notwithstanding, its drollery of some judici ous curtailment —all about the sorrows and calamities befalling Mr. Tobias Traddles (no relation of Tom) on the occasion of his visit to the metropolis, to see the Great Exhibition. Other "country cousins" are as tonished after a different fashion, by a comic beef-eater at the Tower, spok en o f i n the programme, as " a well known personage." Added to these impersonations, we have a capital specimen of a Scotcbman, in Sandie M‘Whittle—trolling off among other things with the " burr," the w h o l e of Macbeth's soliloquy. Then there comes a full-length portrait of a Yankee clipper, true to to the life; and then of Mr. Cavil, quite as true; and yet others in the forms of Mr. and Mrs. Lapses Linger—the latter always having slips of the tongue (even in singing) and the former living entirely in the midst of the events of the reign of Cromwell. And so with " vocal and visual" accounts of the pleasures of a pie-nic, the "Carpet Bag" and the Sketch Book" are both shut up by the entertainer, who is anything but shut up himself, seeing that thereupon crowns his very singular performance by wonderfully admirable imitations of the Lions of London—speaking successively with the exact voice, and the identical manner of Albert Smith,and Henry Russell, and Wright, and Compton, and Buckstone. A pleasanter entertain ment we don't know of, at this moment, any where in London or Westminster. Its merits will soon, we doubt not, become more generally appreciated. The " Carpet Bag" must, indeed, in the course of things, ex tend its popularity, and, by so doing, tend to establish Mr. W. S. Woodin's reputation. The coroner's inquest on the body of M. Frederick Cournet, killed in a duel near Inglefield-green, on the 19th instant, was resumed yesterday before C. J. Woods, Esq., at the Barley Mow Ion: The inquiry created the moot intense interest, and amongst those pre sen t were General Sir-John Cathcart, Bart., Colonel Galwey ; Cap tain Seymour, J. Bonnell, Esq., W. Newnham, Esq., T. R. Ward, Esq., J. Dobinson, Esq., county magistrates, and many others of the neighbouring gentry. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the proceedings commenced, the Coroner, who resides at a distance, having been detained an hoar beyond the time fixed on Thursday last. The Coroner said, since Thursday last, through the exertions of the very active superintendent of police, Mr. Biddlecome, a mass of additional evidence, of a very important character, had been obtained, which he-trusted woulctenable them. to conclude the inquiry at the present - sitting. • - , . Henry Hand, of 5, Harpur-street, New.

On Mort doxeventng,..the 18th of October, about.: balbpest , seveu o'clock, three foreigners came into the gallery, too pistols for practice. They were supplied with a brace of pistols, on leaving a deposit. Witness did not know the parties. The pistols now produced they did not approve of ; another brace of pistols. was procured, and they took them. (The pistols were here produced; they were a brace of rifle pistols, the same as they used in the: shooting gallery.) The foreigners left 81. as a deposit. The pistols were returned about 5 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the 19th inst. The pistols were brought back by a stranger, who ap . peaked -, : waikerakone ,nf the neighbouring , hotels.

Witneeit hadinot-since_becs _ able to trace the:messenger. who brought-back tlietfistbi. 'The pistols were not loaded when the foreigners took them away. They had just previously been used in the gallery, The parties who hired the pistols touk -about two dozen caps, and the same number of bullets. One of the foreigners came back about half-past eight o'clock on, the Monday evening, and said he wanted more balls. Witness gave him ten or a dozen more, and saw nothing more of the foreigners after that time. Mr. Green vo lunteered the information in consequence of seeing the account of the proceedings in the newspapers, and find ing that a powder flask had been found upon one of the prisoners (Allain). The bill produced (found upon Allain) was the paper in which witness wrapped the balls. A certain sum was paid for the use of the pistols, and for the powder flask, which was not returned. The pistols were taken away without being cleaned—there had been many shots fired from them on Monday, the 18th inst., but they were not very foul. In answer to questions from Mr. Ashurst (who ap peared for MM. Baronnet and Allain), witness said the pistols were cleaned on the Monday morning, but not afterwards before they left the gallery on Monday. The pistol in which the wadding (or rag) was found was in use on the Monday, and so was the other pistol. The pistols were cleaned with tow, never with rag, like the piece produced. He could identify one of the parties who hired the pistols. In answer to questions from the Coroner, Mr. Super intendent Biddlecombe said the four persons taken up upon suspicion—MM. Barthelemy and De Mornay (friends of the survivor), and MM. Baronnet and Allain (friends of the deceased), had been lodged in Horseinon ger-lane Gaol. Mr. Bryon, of the Mansion-house police, having been sworn as interpreter, _ _ _ Guisland Patrice Denis deposed, in French, that he resided at 53, Old Compton-street, Soho, where he keeps a restaurant and coffee-house. He knew Frederick Cournot, and knew Cournet had been residing in London some time—for nine or ten months. Knew Emanuel Barthelemy; he is a Frenchman. Had seen Edmund. Allain at his house about fifteen times. Knew Baronnet but did not know his Christain name. Did not know De Mornay. Barthelemy had been in England for about three weeks or a month on his present visit. Witness believes that Barthelemy came direct to his house, but could not fix the date in the absence of his books. Barthelemy slept twice at his house, and called a third time. Recollected Barthelemy writing a letter from his house. Witness told Barthelemy that Baronnet, Cournet, and Recherolles took their repasts at his house. Witness had no knowledge of the contents of the letter written by Barthelemy, but the latter said he could not finish it without referring to the last letter he had received from Cournet. He after % ards said he must show the letter to some one before he closed it, and be returned home for that purpose. Barthelemy said he did not know Cournet personally, and witness told him Cournet was a very fine man, and a strong man—a strong and robust man. Barthelemy held his hand, as if in the act of firing off a pistol, towards a looking glass, and said, "At this, I don't fear the first comer." Ho left the house, and said in an hour and a half he would bring him the letter. Barthelemy did not return. Three or four days after that Barthelemy came to witness's house and slept there. The first time Barthelemy arrived at the house witness understood, from his expressions, that he had a quarrel with Cour net. Barthelemy last slept at the house of witness on the night of Monday, the 18th ; be came in a little before 12, and went to bed immediately afterwards. Robellard was at the table with him, but took nothing to eat ; he drank. They both slept in the same room. Witness did not hear any particular conversation be tween them. Barthelemy left the house alone at a quarter to six o'clock on the following morning. Rebel lard came down about half-past 11. Four or five days after the arrival of Barthelemy, Cournet said he had heard that Barthelemy had said, in certain circles, that he would burst his (Cournet's) belly. On the 14th Cournet did not come to breakfast, but was at witness's house at dinner. On that occasion Cournet said, "The coward would not accept me to-day." Witness under stood that Cournet had been to Richmond. _ THE LATE TOTNES ELECTION. Louis Joseph Soulli,advocate, of Cranbourn-street, Leicester-square, deposed, in French, that Cournet was his friend. - Did not know Barthelemy. [Witness was deeply affected, and was accommodated with a chair.] Thought he should know Barthelemy from Cournet's description, but had never seen him. Knew that a duel was about to be fought between Barthelemy and Cournet. Three days before his death Cournet said he had a desire to avoid that fatal rencontre, but he could not. The terms of the quarrel were such as not to ad mit of explanation. The cause of the duel was a menace. Did not know De Mornay nor Attain, Ba rennet was his friend. Knew nothing, excepting hearsay, of the Preparations for the duel. In France the terms of a duel are alwaysecommitted to writing. When op portunity, offers, the principals have ,tlvo seconds (or witnesses); each.

A large and influential meeting of the owners and occupiers of houses ou Clapham-common and its vicinity was held last night, at the Boys' Parochial School room, to adopt the necessary measures for preventing the formation of a railway across one of the most beau tiful open pieces of ground near the metropolis. The chair was taken at half-past seven o'clock by Captain Bowyer, the Lord of the Manor, supported by the Rector of Clapham, the Rev. R. H. Lewis, incumbent of St. Paul's, Messrs. R. Beddome, E. Burmester, Chas. Curling, Benjamin Field, J. P. Gassiot, T. A. Harkey, Dr. Silvester, Thomas Howell, J. T. Knowles, Deacon, Thomas Buckle, H. Hopley White, Soltau, Stephen Williams, &c, The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked that they were assembled to oppose a project which some persons no doubt considered to be for the good of the public, but which the majority of the inhabitants of Clapham believed to be most detrimental to their in terests, inasmuch as it would greatly disturb the quiet of the neighbourhood, and materially interfere with its respectability. (Cheers.) Mr. THOMAS BUCKLE moved the first resolution, to the effect that the proposed line of the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway across Clapham common, would, without adequate advantage to the public, greatly depreciate house and landed property at Clapham ; entirely alter and deteriorate the character of the neighbourhood ; and destroy the quiet and comfort the inhabitants. As one of the oldest inhabitants of the parish, be considered himself perfectly justified in coming forward to move this resolution, and it any turihur inducement was requisite, it would be found in the fact that he possessed freehold property to the value of some 10,00(./., contiguous to the proposed line of railway. His object, in common with the rest of the meeting, was to prevent the formation cf the projected line, which was intended to commence at Battersea new bridge, and proceed across Clapham-common to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Clapham-common being high ground, it was necessary to make a cutting 30 feet in depth, which was to be eventually covered over, and converted into a tunnel. Mr. S. SIDNEY, after exhibiting a plan of the proposed line, proceeded to show the object of the promoters, and the advantages which it would confer o❑ the locality. The resolution was then put and agreed to, there being only one hand held up against it. Mr. J. B. GASIOT said he was sure that the proposi tion which he had to submit to the meeting would meet its hearty concurrence:—" That the most determined opposition be offered to the scheme at every stage; and this meeting pledges itself to raise whatever funds may be requisite for that purpose." Mr. T. A. HANKEY, in seconding the resolution, re marked it was somewhat strange that the board of direc tors should not have made any official announcement of the proposed alteration to the committee. He certainly could not take the dictum uttered by Mr. Sidney as a resolution to be carried out by the Crystal Palace Com pany. He submitted that some step ought to be taken to obtain some authoritative information as to the deci- sion of the company. (Cheers). The resolution was then adopted. A resolution was also passed requesting the members for the county and the members for the boroughs within the county to give the measure their decided opposition. On the motion of Mr. Soltau, seconded by Mr. S. Williams, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, with a brief acknowledgment of which the proceedings terminated. DISTRESSING DEATH.—Tbe following frightful death has ❑Workhouse:—Caroline occurred in the infirmary of St. Andrew's, Holborn, Killeck, who has just at tained her twenty-third year, having been an inmate of the workhouse from her infancy, was a few days since left alone in the women's day room, where a large fire was burning, over which was a saucepan, in which she was " stewing down tea leaN; - es,7 somewhat contrary,to orders. _Hearing some one approach, she hastily leaned over the iron guard, and in 'seizing the saucepan her ~a pron took fire, and from thence - conamniiicated With her town,- a SOft of light flimsy check linen: The poor creature, uttering piercing screams, and en veloped in flames, ran: freni room to room, but the affrighted inmates rendered her no assistance, till at length she bounded down the halt staircase, where she was met by Mr. Aldred, the master, who immediately enveloped her in a large mat that happened to be handy, and wrapped up in this, she was conveyed to the infirmary upstairs. There being no medical man resident on the establishment, Mr. Sewell, the surgeon to the workhouse, was immediately sent for, and the usual remedies in such deplorable cases applied. The poor sufferer lingered on in excruciating agony until Saturday morning last, when she expired. SUICIDE AT BRISTOL.—A painful sensation was excited yesterday, at Bristol, in consequence of its becoming known that Mr. William Gold Pugsley had rashly put a period to his existence, by hanging himself to a bed-post, at his residence, St. Michael's-hill, in that city. The deceased who had been very widely known, and who was generally respected, had formerly kept a tavern in the Hotwell•road, where he lived many years with great respectability. THE STRAND KOBBERY.—At Capel-street, Police office, Dublin, on Monday, G. Winters and Josephine Scott, natives of London, were charged by Superintendent lion of the G. division of police, for having a large quantity of broken gold, diamonds, pearls, and other jewels, of great value in their possession, supposed to be a part of the pro perty stolen from the shop of Mr. Jones, watchmaker, and jeweller, 338, Strand, London, on or about the 9th instant. The prisoners were remanded for a week. STRIKE IN THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE.—A good deal of excitement prevails in Westminster, in consequence of a very serious dispute between the master strong boot and shoemakers and the men in their employ, which has led to a strike among the latter, and induced the masters to adver tise by bills for 500 good hands, to whom constant employ ment is promised, and it is supposed that this is the number of men out on the strike. The dispute appears to have arisen through a number of the masters, on the Ist of October, wishing the men to sign a document consenting to a certain amount of wages, and not to support any moil who do not agree to that proposal, who should strike in consequence. The prices the masters offer are 2s. 3d., and the closing to be paid for extra, with full employment, but the men say this is a starvation price. ASTLEY'S.—The entertainments at this theatro have for some weeks past consiste(t almost entirely of scenes in the circle. Mr. Batty, however, in! ends resuming the hippodramatic entertainment on the stage, on Monday, November 1, with a new spectacle, from the pen of a popular author, with scenery, costumes, and decorations of the most gorgeous description. We understand that Mr. Batty, after a long, active, and highly-successful career, is about retiring from the toils of management— having purchased the handsome mansion known as " Bridge House," Golder's-green, on.the Finchley-road, with extensive and beautiful grounds attached, where he purposes to enjoy for the remainder of his life, the large fortune ho has amassed by his indefatigable industry and enterprising spirit. Tho theatre—which is wholly the property of Mr. Batty—with the extensive stud, and valuable menagerie of trained animals, harness, trap pings, scenery, machinery, properties, costumes, and other appointments, valued at 30,0001, have been for some time in the market—but no speculator has yet come up to the large figure that has been placed upon this fortunate house—i❑ which two successi►e managers have, withi❑ a comparatively short time, amassed large tortunes.—Sunday Times, Oct. 24. JERSEY GenrusoN.—The military and artillery force at the garrison in Jersey is to be considerably aug mented. The militia force in Jersey is now 20,000 strong. THE POST OFFICE.—A return has been made of the salaries, wages, and allowances of the Post Office de partment in Ireland and Scotland, from which it ap pears that the total number of persons employed by the Post Office in Ireland on the sth January 1851, was 1,927, receiving 73,1111.; and that in Scotland the num ber of persons was 2,190, receiving 79, 9061. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A SOLDIER OF THE 31ST REGIMENT.—The Cork Constitution says:—" On Thurs day last, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the body of a private soldier belonging to the above regiment was found drowned in the River Blackwater, Fermony. Some women are in custody on suspicion, but it is feared the real perpetrators will not be brought to justice." EXPENSE OF PROSECUTING A MURDERER.—In the an nual accounts of the treasurer of the county of Oxford, ust published, it appsars that the conviction and execu ,ion of Kalabergo, for the murder of his uncle, near Banbury, cost tae county no less a sum than 3591. 3s Bd. A SIGN OF THE TIMES.—In the .North British Advertiser of last Saturday, there are advertisements for nearly 80 situations vacant, whilst only seven persons advertise for situations. THE SYDNEY MAIL STEAM-PACKET.--0110 Of the passengers bound for Port Philip, who went out in the Sydney mail packet which left Plymouth for Australia on the 4th of August last, returned to England in the Bosphorus. He refused to proceed any farther than the Isle of Ascension, on account of the bad accommodation for passengers on board the Sydney steamer. DUBLIN REVISION LIST.—The revision of the Par- liamentary list for the city of Dublin closed yester day, but, in consequence of the expiration of the time prescribed by law for the revision, the list of claims could not be gone into. The result, so far as it goes, is highly favourable to the Con servative party, but a very different state of things would exist, could an adjudication be had on the claims, amounting to 7,500, and of which nearly 6,000 are on the Liberal side. The assistant barrister intimated his intention of bringing the matter before the executive, with a view of having the anoma lous state of the law corrected. TALLow.—Letters from St. Petersburgh to the 18th inst. report a further rise in tallow, 600 casks having been sold at 121 r., and 122 r. being now the price de manded. Thero were 6,000 casks yet to arrive from the interior, of which one•half at least would be delayed until next season. Frost had already been experienced, and there were scarcely any ships at Cronstadt.

SIR,—I perceive there is a paragraph in your paper of Saturday referring to the late Totnes Election, taken from Woolmer's Exeter Gazette (a very questionable autho rity on such matters). It is true that Lord Seymour was proposed by Lieut. Boardman, R.N., and the Rev. James Shore, A.M., the former an attendant at, and the latter minister of Bridgetown Free Episcopal Church—gentle men driven to secede from the Established Church through the tyrannical conduct of the Bishop of Exeter towards the latter gentleman (who had been for years the beloved minister of Bridgetown Church and conse quently carried his whole flock with him). It is further stated that Thomas Mills, Esq. (the second liberal mem ber), was brought forward by the Dissenters ;—now this was not correct, for Mr. Mills was introduced to this borough and supported throughout the contest by the most influential, respectable, and enlightened in habitants of the town, comprising men of nearly all religious denominations (Churchmen as well as Dissent ers), and by several of the magistrates of the town. Th e paragraph reflects on the archdeacon and vicar of Totnes, for not supporting a Tory in preference to Mr. Mills. Surely, Mr. Mills, who has not only built but endowed a church at his own entire expense, is as good a friend to the Church as could be desired; and it is not likely that two such conscientious men and Christian divines as the Archdeacon Fronde and the Vicar of Totnes (Rev. J. W. Burrough) will turn their backs on such a worthy member as Mr. Mills, whose greatest pleasure it is to subscribe liberally to all charitable, benevolent, and useful institutions, whether in the neigh bourhood in which he resides, or in this borough which has lately done itself the honour to elect as Lord Seymour's colleague, a gentleman of such rectitude of principle and high character, that not even one of his opponents ca❑ say a word to his disrepute. The Church will never be in danger from such men as Mr. Mills or any Lord Seymour,* or, as is stated in the paragraph, from its own "friends," hut rather from its Puseyite enemies, who aro disgusting numbers of true Protes•tants in this diocese, and will do more than anything clue to swell the ranks of Dissenters, amongst whom will be found men as conscientious, and as good Protestants as in the Established Church.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A LIBERAL CHURCHMAN AND AN ELECTOR OF TOTNES. Oct. 25, 1852. * Lord Seymour (notwithstanding what is stated in the paragraph in question), polled within 40 of the entire con stituency; and Mr. Mills, who was proposed and seconded by two magistrates, was returned by a respectable majority, larger than all the majorities put together of his opponent in his numerous former contests for the borough, So- much for flet.oltner's Gazette. - - ' • SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXXV. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, WITH BE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW. In weather the most unpropitious, and on ground the most sodden, was decided the great race of the meeting yesterday. The racing commenced with the 50t Plate for two-years-old and upwards, over the last three miles of the B. C. Morning Star, with Evening Star, Tickton, and Maria, in close contiguity, raced to the Duke's Stand, where all had had enough but Maria and Tickton; the latter then took a slight lead, and was challenged .50 yards from home by Maria, who, however, had not the shadow of a chance, for Tickton went past the post pull ing double, although winning by only a neck. Morning Star was beaten nearly a score of lengths; and Waver ley lost the third place by something like half-a -dozen lengths more. The remainder, including Evening Star, Petri!, and the Assault colt, unable to move iu the dirt, were left far behind. The winner's easy victory found him a new owner at 300 guineas, which, I fancy, he is well worth. In the t ace for the 10 sovs. Sweepstakes over the Cri terion course, Old Rowley cut out the work until half way up the cords, where Guy Mennerieg took the lead, and won cleverly by halt a length; Woodland finishing a good third and last. The great race of the day next came on for decision, and 31 competitors came to the post to struggle for superiority, no less than a dczeu finding backers in the ring. They got off well together at the first attempt, and ran, in a compact burly, to within 100 yards of the Duke's Stand, without any Lulling of consequence having taken place. This was the result of the badness of the pace. At this point, however, it commenced with a vengeance, the held being,in a very little time, scattered all over the course. Just before reaching the Duke's Stand, Hobble Noble, clearing his horses, took a-head of two lengths, which he maintained fur a short distance, when the Knight of the Shire, who had been running very forward, came out, passed him in a few strides, went on by himself, and won with great ease ley a couple of lengths ; Robbie Noble beating Lady Evelyn, who bad been gradually drawing to the front for the last dis tance, by a length and a half. Babette was a good fourth, a short half length dividing her and the Lady ; Herbert an indifferent fifth. Azael, Weather gage, and Convulsion, had not the least chance, the state of the ground having disposed of them early. The pace, as might naturally be expected, was bad; time, 2 min. 14 sec. Messrs. Payne, Greville, and others connected with the winner's stable, win good stakes. A portion of the aristocratic body likewise throw in. Bookmakers, for the most part, are said to be losers. As many persons may have backed horses after they were scratched, it may be useful to know the time when they were struck out. At midnight, on Sunday, the for feit list was composed of the following names :—Her nandez, Ariosto, Officious, Harbinger. Chief Baron Nicholson, Adine, Flirt, Lady - Amyott, Young Trouble some, Scarecrow, La Gazza Ladra, Cavan, Ammonia, Dollond, Longinus, and Turmus. Previous to the read ing of the list on Monday evening, the following were the additional scratchings :—Glauca, Stilton, Neasham, Hungerford, King of Trumps, Hothorpe, Ringleader, The Italian, Musician, Old English Oak, Athena Pallas, Butterfly, Bit of Blue, Lindrick, Billy Bar, Plot, Tested, Henrietta, Hachetee, Cotton Lady, Termagant,Dtvidend, Jessica, Cornelius, and Madeline. Between that time and midnight Teddington, Truth, Allegro, Proctor, Sally, Warfoot colt, King Pepin, and Kate, were also added to the doleful list. Yesterday morning, Eliza, Middleton, Grey Tommy, Miniature filly, Iligh Sheriff, Miss Fanny, Lancaster, Follow-me-Lads, Puritan, and Isabella, were the last batch of unfortunates. The remainder wero left in the finale. A fine race between Janina, Heroine, and Ploughboy, for the 10 soya. Stakes, over the last half of the Ab. M., terminated in favour of the first named, by only a head; Heroine beating Ploughboy a short length for second place, Lady Speedy a good fourth, and Needle fifth. The Anonymous Letter and Leybourne ran very stale. Sextua ran away with another Sweepstakes of JO soya., over the same course as the previous race, beating his only opponent, Vest, by thrt e lengths. The D.M. Selling Handicap Sweepstakes was likewise a one-sided affair, Faux-pas waiting upon Presto into the cords, and winning, when called upon, very easily by two lengths. The 15 soya. Handicap, over the T.Y.C., was won in the most off-hand style imaginable, by Child-of-the- Mist; Dividend beating Knavery a length for second place. The others were stalled off. The D.I. Handicap Plate brought the day's sport to a conclusion. They backed Cariboo against the field for this race, but the dirt most effectually settled him before they bad run half the distance; Lerry Wheat winning by a length, Ilex obtaining second place. Cariboo, Black Doctor, and Houiakin were somewhere or other I presume, but certainly not within range of my optics. The field for the Glasgow Stakes to-morrow will not have more than three starters at the outside, namely, Speed-the-Plough, West Australian, and Filbert; but it is not unlikely that the Stakes will terminate in a compromise and walk over. If it produces a race Speed-the-Plough will, of course, beat West Australia, and the latter do the like for Filbert. The 50 soya. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M. will bo contested by Glenavon, Nicotine, one of Lord Exeter's, and Pherold. Sylphine does not run. The first and second places will he filled by GLENAVON—WiWM the present state of the ground suits—and NICTORINE. Angelo, the Consvr&cy Filly, Sittingbourne, and Knight of the Garter will, I believe, run their respective matches. My digest of the Nursery Stakes will appear to morrow. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

The Debars has the foilavving on the subject of gold, calling strenuously for a change in the character of the currency:— " The assertion that the enormous production of gold in California, in Australia, and in Siberia, is a transi tory phenomenon destined to finish as suddenly as it commenced, is the romantic exaggeration of an exact fact—namely, that mines of gold, alluvian mines at -least, become exhausted more rapidly than other mines. It is necessary, however, to be endowed with a superhuman dose of penetration to now perceive in the mines .of gold recently discovered, any signs of approaching exhaustion. Has the production fallen on in any of the gold regions? By no means; it is ra ther increasing. According to the last accounts from California the extraction has never been more active and more abundant. As far as regards Russia, the gold is said to exist there in indefinite quantity, the end of which it is impossible to foresee. As to Australia, the strata have been scarcely skimmed, and they are every day found to be more extensive. In a word, we must prepare ourselves to see, during a considerable lapse of time, an unheard of production, which will go at least to 200,000 kilogrammes of gold, making 700 millions of our gold coin; or, at least eight times greater than what took place at the commencement of the century, and that while the production of silver scarcely exceeds what it was 50 years ago. Suppose that this lapse of time, during which this enormous production should last, wire to be only 20 years, and that after that time we should tall back to nearly what we were before, that would make a mass of 4,000,000 of kilogrammes of gold which will have been thrown into commerce. It would be enough to make 700,060.000 of our gold 20f. Coins. Can it ne conceived that a market can ne found for this immense mass of gold, unless it is reduced in value, and 12 grammes of it given in exchange for a hectolitre of wheat, instead of 6, which is the present value, or admit the value of the 20f. piece to be lot.? Let us now say a few words on the outlet which it is imsgined will bu found for this unusual production of the precious awe), and which it is supposed will protect it from any depreciation. It is stated that certain nations, which have now but little in their m,netary system, will tike a Isrge proportion of ir, and that incressing luxury, jewel,, gilding of apart ments, and gold embroidery will take the rest. This presumed market has, however, a very serious defect; it is too disproportione , i to the object. In the first place, set aside the Unit e d S ta t es, and Russia, which as gold-producing countries, coin a large amount of the precious metal, what nation shall we a co coin extraordinary masses of gold ? On the contrary, we see governments taking precautions against the admission of too large a quantity of gold into the me chanism of exchanges. Holland, Belgium, and Spain have done this, and other powers will with reason follow the example; fur from the moment when gold is threatened with a loss of its value it is deprived of its distinctive quality as a monetary metal, for that quality is, in fact, a fixity cf value. What is the probable quantity of gold which Russia and the United States would take on the footing of the present value of the metal, supposing also that they did not be come alarmed ? At the most 600,000 kilogrammes, even counting what they have already coined, and very probably less, for that would make more than a milliard for each country; and they are countries where paper money circulates to a large amount. When, there tore, these two countries shall have absorbed 600,000 kilo grammes of line gold in theircoinage,and probably before, the metal will fill in value. These 600,000 kilogrammes are the production of three years, according to existing circumstances. With regard to the luxury reckoned on to assist in taking off the superfluous quantity, d th s os t o o who make use of this argument are badly in creasemeat o f o f the consumption en in tu t r h y at u w p atyo.lShiilicnt:lfrodtrhemceoelcisfauurlvednhcaiens jpeows e e d l jewellery r y I h n asnot Engla nd ,i ncreasedteqruicashonetitsmttyucc°ohugnatsrymiinghtht the world, o s r u l p d: articlesears ago.

SWINDLING BY A SHIP'S CAPTAIN.—The police of Paris arrested on Saturday the captain of an English merchant ship, the Shakspeare, under the following cir cumstances:--In March lust the Shakspeare left the port of Canton, having on board an American. The American was very badly off, and had no goods; but he and the cap tain concocted a scheme for committing a fraud on a grand scale. On arriving at the Cape of Good Hope, the captain presented the American to a commercial firm with whom he was acquainted, end represented to them that he had on board his ship about 6,0001. worth of goods, which he paid at was conveying to England. He also produtehecet‘i.rvaaofugtecerhntethr:h,s which seemed to confirm the statement.

Th© mate promised to the mate for hia promised to fulfil his share of the contract, and sailed from St. Helena. A few days after the East India steamer the cap ta i n and his erneer touched at th e i s l an d, a nd wife went on board. There they met the American, as had previously been arranger/. As soon ' as the steamer arrived in London the Ame rican and the captain went to the agent of the merchants of the Cape, and received from him 1,535/, the balance) due on the cargo. They then waited for news of the loss of the Shakspeare, in order to apply to the insurance office for the amount of the insurance. A short time back, to their profound astonishment, they learned that the Shakspeare had entered the mouth of the Thames ; the mate, being an honest man, as it turned out, having brought her safe home, instead of making any attempt to destroy her. The two men thereupon deemed it prudent to fly. The American embarked on board a vessel which was about to proceed to the East Indies, whilst the Captain and his wife came to Paris, and took up their residence in the Champ Blyseee. The agent of the St. Helena merchants, having learned the fraud that had been committed, and having ascertained that that the Captain had come to Paris, im m edia tely came over here, and obtained, by the interference of the English embassy, the assistance of the police short time the residence of the Ca p ta in • Ina veri was chacccrerea, and he WU secured, 18% 50 I ‘.
