The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool. sack at Five o'clock. Several petitions having been preseated, The Earl of DALHOUSIE broug h htt i tp w th as e r to epo th r e t of the Committee on railway Bills, which ect that the standing order, requiring that one -tenth ofe amount of capital subscribed be deposited, should be suspended with respect to such railway Bills as shall commence in the House of Lords this session, that no such Bills should be read a first time until one-twentieth of the amount subscribed should be deposited, and a further one.twentieth before the Bill should be read a third time; and that no Bill should be received after Monday, February 23d. The Noble Earl gave notice that he should draw the attention of the House to the subject to-morrow. The Dtrl of CLANCARTY then rose to move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the management of the medical charities in Ireland. Th e No ble E ar l went into a detail of the manner in which the v arious medical i nst i tut i ons in Ireland were supported d z an e tu g re e in d , e b ffi e ei c e o u n t t i e n n o d te d that at p on t res f e t n h t e th sm os a e ll i n n e s is i . t of tbe;su • voted „ • to their support, but fo r th e want o f pre m.. gement in the expenditure of the funds pro- VidealifttheiX OuPPM Ile p roP9sed to increase the _, _~ 0 number of local fever hospitals, which would enable them to dispense with many county fever hospitals. He would have one in every union in Ireland, and he would also have an infirmary in every union ; and he would sug gest that the government of dispensaries should be vested in a local board composed of twenty of the largest rate payers, and of those who gave a donation of 201. to the institution. The infirmaries ho would leave under the government of the authorities of the union. For the purposes of inspection and general superintendence, he would give authority to the General Board of Health of Ireland as the central governing body. With regard to the poor-law, he did not believe there was any desire in Ireland,to get rid of the poor-law. He contbnded that a poor-law was necessary for Ire land, and experience had shown the futility of the ob jections which had been originally urged against it. He considered, however, that some alteration was re quired as to the manner in which the poor-rates were assessed. The Noble Earl then proceded to complain that in many of the unions, in which the members of the Board of Guardians were Roman Catholics,' the Protestant pauper children in the workhouse had been placed by the guardians under the care of the Roman Catholic chaplain, for the purpose of having them brought up as Roman Catholics. He thought that in every union-house there should be a Protestant chap laM. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and the Duke of WELLINGTON the motion was agreed to. The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a first time, and their Lordships adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. Mr. FREWEN took the oaths and his seat for East Surrey. A new writ was ordered fur the borough of Bucking.. ham, in the room of Sir T. FREMANTLE. The Sheriffs of London presented a petition from the Lord Mayor and Corporation, in favour of a repeal of the corn-lams. Lord G. SOMERSET brought up the Report of the Committee on Railways. Several petitions were presented for and against rail way Bills. Several petitions were presented in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws, and also petitions for protection to agri culture. Petitions were also presented in favour of the reduction of the duty on malt. Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice, for the 19th, for an ad dress to the Crown with respect to the state of educa tion in Wales. Mr. LIDDELL gave notice of his intention tomorrow to put a question to the Government with respect to their intentions as to improving the condition of juvenile offenders. Mr.O'CONNELL gave notice of his intention to-morrow, in going into Committee of Supply, to call the attention of the House to the state of famine and distress in Ireland. On the motion of Dr. BowRING, returns wero ordered with respect to the harbour duties in the Isle of Man. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Dr. Bow ring, said that the Government had not received any in formation of any retaliatory measures contemplated by Spain with a view to obtain the introduction of the sugars of Cuba on the same terms with those of Manilla, Venezuela, and the United States, nor did he believe any such measures were contem plated. Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to know whether the Government had had any further correspondence with the Spanish Government relative to the sugar of Cuba ? Sir R. PEEL said that a further correspondence had taken place, which he would take care should be laid before the House previous to any discussion taking place. Mr. IVCDEHOUSE gave notice of his intention ; on Mon day, to move for returns relative to poor•rates. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr- Hurl', said he was not in a condition to lay before the House the grounds upon which the Judges had decided, in the case of the Brazilian prisoners, that their case did not come within the jurisdiction of the laws of this country. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. PATTISON, said that, generally speaking, it was in tended that the reduction of duties in the tariff should take rlace immediately upon the passing of the resolu tions to that effect. The RIGHT HON. BARONET also stated, in answer to a question from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he pro posed, that after the resolutions had passed and been re ported, that the reduction of the duty on corn should take place immediately. Sir IL PEEL, in answer to a question from Sir 11 , W BARRON, if any alteration was to be proposed by which the landed interest in Ireland might havo the benefit of the British market for Irish spirits, said that it was not intended to make any such alteration. Mr. WATSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the further repeal of pains and penalties upon Roman Catholics. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that a Bill similar to that proposed by the lion. and Learned Member, had been laid on the table of the House of Lords by the LORD CHANCELLOR. It wag, therefore, a subject for the con sideration of the Hon. ani Learned Member whether, under such circumstances, he would persevere in his motion. After some observations from Sir R. INGLis and Sir J. GRA ZIAM, Lord JoirN MANNERS said, if his Hon. Friend per severed in bringing in his Bill, he should feel it his duty to support it, believing that it was not only not beneficial, but injurious to the Church of England, to retain those pains and penalties that had been adverted to by the Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford. Mr. O'CONNELL deprecated the continuation of a law that punished virtue and devotional exercises. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it was the duty of the House to have the law with respect to Roman Catholics placed upon some reasonable footing, which it certainly was not at present. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in two Bi Is, one to amend the Act 1 and 2 of Vict. 114, and to remove doubts that have arisen as to the interpreta tion of certain clauses in that Act, and also a Bill to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise, and of exercising trade in burghs in Scotland. Mr. BAKES then moved, pursuant to notice, for returns of all applications for tho stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to. Mr. CHRISTIE moycd for copies of any papers or re ports by Mr. CHADWICK and Mr. PARKER on the subject of bone crushing in union workhouses. On the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM the motion was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. S. O'BRIEN two new writs were ordered for Dorsetshire in the room of Lord ASHLEY and Mr. STURT, who had accepted the office of hrr MAJESTY'S Chiltern Hundreds. The House then adjourned. The calm which reigned so lang in the Anglo-Indian camp at Ferozepore, has at last been suddenly disturbed by a violent inroad made by the Seikh army, amounting to some 30,000 men, with 70 guns. The Governor-General Sir HENRY HARDINGE had previously given orders to abstain from all offensive operations, and to wait patiently till events in the Punjaub should imperiously demand his interference, or the Seikh troops by acts of violence should compel him to have recourse to arms. He had not long to wait for such a result after his arrival on the banks of the Sutlej, for on the 12th of December 10,000 Seikhs, with, 27 guns, crossed the river, about twelve miles above Ferozepore, and invaded the British territory. On the 13th the Go vernor-General issued a proclamation, in which he declares that "notwithstanding the disorganised state of the Lahore Government during the last twoyears, and many most unfriendly proceedings on the part of the Durbar, the Governor-Gem ral in Council has continued to evince his desire to maintain the relations of amity and concord which had so long existed between the two States, for the mutual interests and happiness of both. He has shown on every occasion the utmost forbearance from consideration to w th i e lo h m el p t l h e e ss B s t r a i ttieshofutohvee rn in m fa e n n t t bad 'Maharaja recogn D i e i t d m as E P the Srst s c uc si .. , ces.or to the late Maharaja Suzan &Non." Up to the last moment he had entertained hopes that these friendly relations would be m a i n t a i ned, he had shown every ditposiy tion to cultivate the friendship o f t h e ruling party; and, as a proof that he would g i ve no pretence for aggression, he had blamed Sir Huon GouGis for advancing certain divisions of the army towards the frontier, and ordered their recal. But in spite of hls prudent arrangements and his cau tions forbearance, the Seikhs kept assembling forces en the right banks of the Sutlej ; he was therefore forced to issue orders for the advance of troops to reinforce the outposts, and not without reason, or before the time, for the force which we hare mentioned, under the command of LALL SINGLI, paramou r o f th e QUERN-MOTHER, without any provocation, suddenly invaded the British territories. The first consequence of this movement is rather important, and may enable us to f orm some idea what will be the results of ultimate success en the part of the British Government. The whole of the possessions belonging to the reigning Prince on the left banks of the Sntlej have been confiscated and annexed to the British territories. The British army was immediately ordered to concentrate with all possible dispatch; the Seikhs were kept in check by Sir JOHN LITTLER, who commanded on that station, and Sir HENRY HAEDLNGE, who was at Umb a ll a at the time, a place considerably to the east o f stationed been Loodiana and Feroze Ferozepore, hastened . to the scene withof p a o c r t e i . on He w a ai l t in he nn fo m rc e e! udivittoeucciemecmou;icawhtioonmQ;'ietdhi ii the Commander-min -Chief, army, it appears, had taken:up a strong position on the Bri tish territory, at a very short ;distance from Ferozepore, and threatened to intercept communications with the interior. Sir H. HARDINGE, therefore, had no choice, even independent of the wanton invasion, and he gave orders for a general attack on the enemy's position. This was on the :21st of December The Governor-General commanded the centre, Sir HUGH GOUGH the right, and Sir Joux LITTLER the left. The enemy's position appears to have been well ehosen,for the contest lasted three days, and the slaughter on both sides was great. Vic tory at last, however, declared in favour of the British, fir the Seikhs lost nearly all their guns, sixty-five out of seventy having been captured ; and on the 24th the Seikh camp was occupied by the British army. According to one account, however, only on e p os i t i on had been stormed, and prepara tions were making to attack the other when the dispatch left. But there can be little doubt as to the result, for with so few guns the enemy could not long hold their position, and it is not at all improbable that the whole of this lawless body, - which have tyrannised over their own country, and robbed all parties, will be annihilated or captured before they can reach the Sutlej. It is said that the Ranee, or Queen-Mother, who at present is the real SOVIREIGN, was opposed to this invasion, but she was powerless, and the restless Seikhs per severed in their purpose. It is thus satisfactory to find that the Anglo troopswere not the aggressors, that they were absolutely forced to defend themselves, and that the responsi bility of this dreadful encounter must fall upon the rulers and the army of the Punjaub. We cannot attach much credit to the rumour that the Ranee was not privy to the scheme. It was for her interest to say so, but it is needless to comment on that point, for in a very brief space the mystery will be cleared up, and it is probable that an extraordinary mail will be dispatched by the Bombay Government with the full details of these hard-fought battles. It is oviden', however, that a collision must have taken place, even inde pendent of the rash conduct of the Seikhs. We could not be put to the expense of keeping a large army on the fron tiers without the prospect of a speedy settlement; and be sides the complete control over the Pnnjaub is necessary for the security of the rest of India. This now will be com pletely obtained. The Indian Government will be enabled to command now not only the Indus but its five great tri butary branches; and thereby establish an impenetrable barrier against the irruptions of the western states. It will be seen from the details given in another part of the paper, that Sinde was quiet and contented, so much so, that Sir Cnanues NarrEn, who had " spied the battle afar oft;" was hastening with a large body of his troops to the scene of action. iwhich he says h e i s f avoura bl e, and these sentiments differ in every respect from his professions. Both France and Eng land, therefore, are warned, that if it should ever be the mis fortune of the civilised world to see him again Prime Minister, peace will to a certainty be disturbed, We have only to quote A few of his phrases to show in what way he would assert the dignity of France, and confine England to her proper sphere. "If there is anything," said he to M. GCIZOT, " which proves your dependence, it is the very facts you adduce. What cannot be contested is, that with respect to England, the policy of France has ceased to be independent, and that in Europe England marches in an isolated manner, in order not to be useful to France when it is in her power to be so. Now you declare that you resort to a policy of neutrality in the Oregon question ; but I must observe to you, that the very first condition of neutrality is impartiality, and as you do not pea seas that, it is utterly impossible for you to guard your neutral ity with respect to America." The Journaldes Debats thus sums up: the results of these numerous amendments :" After four years of declamations, after so many efforts to excite the passions of the people against the English alliance, and to cast venom into the relations between the two Governments and the two countries, the Opposition is at last compelled to confess that it had taken the wrong path, and is reduced to admit that not only the habitual majority, but also the most wise, the most sensible, the most honest branch of the Oppo sition, has rejected an amendment becau .6 it made an attack upon the cordial malerstanding between France and Eng land. Alas! how have passed away those fine days during which reigned the yight of search and the far famed PEITCHARD I All these things are laid aside and abandoned since it is found that the country will no longer be deceived, having seen through these false passions and declamations got up at command." Accounts from Algiers to the 27th of January, state that Marshal BI:GRAUD had assembled a considerable force at l3oghar, and set out again in pursuit of ADD-EL-KAM:R. A letter of the 25th says " You have no doubt heard that the Marshal has not re turned with the troops of his column, but that on the con trary he has gone towards Tiaret. All the troops capable of bearing the campaign were united under his orders, and those of Colonel Eynard, to form an accessory column. In default of brilliant success, the merit of persevering activity cannot be denied the Marshal, and it will not be without result, if it ends in shutting out •the ex-Emir from all access to the province of Algiers. The cayalry has returned to us in a deplorable state, it is true, but the evil has been exagge ratxl, in pretending that out of 500 horses only GO Lave eome back; it is, however, certain that the great majority • were left behind. We have still intact the cavalry of the ' province of Constantine, which can be called en to supply the place of the two other divisions. It is not ' the less true that Algeria is now worn out with respect to horses, though not many years back possessing such immense resources in that wi:y. Fifteen years of war—fifteen years exceptional consumption, and of continual hindrance to nerease—should necessarily lead to such a result, and we shall soon suffer much want in this respect, unless grand establishments be formed to promote the breed of horses."

Much as the enemies of abolition have laboured to in fluence the electors throughout the kingdom—much, espe cially, as they have endeavoured to concentrate their ener gies upon the West Riding of Yorkshire—and strenuously, and (to use the most appropriate expression) furiously as Mr. BUSFEILD FERRAND has attempted to thrust the spirit of agricultural monopoly down the throats of that constituency —the West Riding election has been terminated, and illuetrated by the triumph of free-trade principles. Nor was this victory— consummated on Wednesday at the hustings in Leeds—in one single iota questionable or inconclusive. There was a solitary nomination, an harangue from a solitary candidate, and a solitary appeal to the opinions of the multitude present. When, in fine, the election was declared to be terminated, and when Lord Moerunt stepped forward to acknow ledge his acceptance as their representative, not one dissentient voice was raised from an assembly of thirty thousand individuals. No more definite exposition of the alteration in our present commercial code, which is now inevitable, could possibly have transpired. This single occurrence—regarded even in an erroneous light, namely, as an isolated fact—must penetrate the obtuse faculties of the protectionists with a clear knowledge of their doom : the conviction of the utter desolation and impotence of their struggles must at length stand before them with a terrible and indubitable clearness. Lord Moenent's election for the West Riding of Yerkehire is no ordinary or generalised casualty ; it is not the common place nomination of a common-p'ace man under common-place circumstances, or in furtherance of any common-place policy. It is the noble, the universal, and the spontaneous outburst of an extensive and import:int division of our enfranchised countrymen ; it is the enthusiasm of an enlightened multitude in a prodigious and glorious cause; it is the unusual and benign reality of ono among the haughtiest of our oligarchy buckling on the armour of justice, and standing forward as the protector and the champion of the people. A more fitting personage in every particularity could not .by any possibility have been selected by the men of Yorkshire as the advocate of those vast and popular measures—" free corn, free food, and free trade." In uttering this opinion we are not attempting to manufacture any sounding sentences of eulogium—adjec tives of praise without significance would form but a wooden diadem, and mere turns of language, however glitter ing, would still be but tinsel. Indeed, the Noble Viscount (whose imaginative and poetical capa cities are by no means despicable) disclaimed any sympathy with aspirants for the more hack flied species of renown. "Give me," he exclaimed, " the commerce, not the conquest of the world—a large loaf, and not an empty laurel." In these stirring and momentous epochs we should each of us be little better than insane were we to continue sticklers for picturesqueness or sentimen talism—the poetry of words in couplets is but a pigmy to the colossal poetry of act, in the shape of open ports fur the re ception of untaxed corn, and lard, and vegetables, and butcher's meat. As an expounder and upholder of these notions, Lord Monrz - rez will advance greater claims to popu lar memory, and popular affection, than any mere babblers in the cloister and the woodland. Cordially may the League congratulate themselves upon having one more well-wisher, one more vote, one more eloquent and argumentative tongue in the Parliament House.' This consideration is not of secondary importance--it is another staunch and vigorous, and earnest hand for the impulsion of that great leverage which has already moved the world of exclusive interest and dive aggrandisement. His Lordship's oration upon the hustings en Wednesday, may, in truth, be regarded as an evidence of this acquisition to the aboli tionists—so much sound, and healthy, and naked argument is there lavished upon the vital question now at issue. In that address the Noble Lord forsakes anything like pretension! to rhetorical ability : his wards are simple and bold to a degree : he accommodates himself, as a speaker upon the hustings ever should, to the capacities of his audience: lie rendera, in a few expressions, some abstract proposition com prehensible to the most ordinary intellect. In this manner the question of territorial demand with reference to Oregon is simplified in a singular manner by three or four odd syllables :—the Noble Viscount explaining that the dissaffection towards us, at present so prevalent in the eastern portion of the United States, might be totally and immediately removed, it; by consenting to as untram melled importation of provisions from that quarter, we gave its inhabitants something which they would be desirous of keep ing- in their possession, and which would consequently render them desirous of a continuance of peace. After rapidly sur veying the progression of these liberal principles among the mass "without," as well as among the intellects which regulate the Government of this country, Lord Mortmese controverted the many specious and plausible insinuations of the Opposi tion party, showing at the same time the utter inadequacy of any restricted trade in food in nourishing the bulk of a nation as they were originally destined to be by the DEITY himself. Nothing, in fact, can be more fallacious—nothing, in fact, can be more criminal, than the endeavour to deny the plentiful supply of suste nance to the poorer and more industrious classes for the mere purpose of bolstering up a decayed and (in both senses) ruinous cause. It is an endeavour from which, in the abstract, every sensible mind would absolutely recoil ; and the inference that, from such an arrangement, misery and des titution and failure would, as it were, inundate the country, is fully and inexpressibly preposterous. Credit will redound to the constituents of Yorkshire for the decided manner in which they have acted at this moment of mighty "passing," not only to themselves and to their countrymen, but to the whole civilised race; they have regarded the matter through its grandest medium, and have, in the person and in th e wor d s o f t h eir noble BUSINESS LONII IN FORF:L N RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK E LCHANGE, FEB. 4.

Singularly enough, Lord Monrrrn on Wednesday observed, on the announcement of his unanimous election—" As Sir R. PEEL said, in tailing of our late victories in India coming after preceding reverses—he said (and I now say) we have effaced the memory of our shame upon the field of our previous disasters' "—referring, be it remembered, to the Noble Lord's defeat, some sessions back, at those identical hosting. The coincidence of the above allusion to our eastern terri tories but a few hours previous to the arrival of the Overland Mail this morning, with the intelligence of our successes over the Seikhs, and our apparent approximation to afoul' triumph in the Punjaub, is something more than remarkable. Now, however, with this important achievement in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the striking superiority of our arras at Ferozepore, we can seize these words with a double avidity, and repeat them with a double application—" We have effaced the memory of our shame upon the field of our pre vious disaster." Let us regard this aptitude of phrase as an augury of our final triumph upon both points.

A new two act drama, entitled The Cld School, of which Farren was the hero, was produced at this theatre last evening, with complete.succcss. The scene is laid in London somewhere about the year 1798, and Farren acts the pirl of Louis, the servant of the young Duke do Choiseul (J. unit), a refugee French nobleman, who, after living at Vienna and Berlin, has come to London. Wherever he goes he hears of the fame of a certain Baron de Fleury. At Vienna the Baron is the first of fencing-masters; at Berlin ha is the first of cooks; in London he is the first of dancing -masters. This Baron de Fleury is no other than Louis, who is really the uncle of the Duke, and who had sworn to the Duke's father to watch over the welfare of his son. The Duke's property is all lost, but still Louis will not inform him of it, and, as the Baron de Fleury, earns money, with which he enables the Duke to koep up his rank. He is exceedingly desirous that the Duke should marry the niece of the Countess of Bloomsbury (Mrs. W. Clifford), a woman of immense fortune, but the Duke, who has met with a fair country woman of his own, Estelle (Mrs. Edwin Yarnold), re fuses. Louis, at length, meets with Estelle, and in her recognises his own daughter, from whom he had been separated by the revolution, and whom ho imagined dead. Urged by her father, she consents to quit London, and to resign her lover. It ap pears that the Duke has lost a sum of money at cards to a Capt. Saville (Mr. Brindal) to whom he has given a cheque for the amount, which cheque is dishonoured, and Saville thinks to post him as a swindler. This brings about an explanation from Louis, and the Duke consents to marry the rich heiress. The scene of the second act is laid at the Countess of Bloomsbury's. Saville, who is the Countess's nephew, and who wishes to marry the heiress, her daughter, for whom the Duke has propos-d, denounces the Duke as a swindler, and produces the dis honoured cheque. At that instant a note is put into his hand from Louis, enclosing the amount of the cheque, and explaining that the mistake - - had arisen from tho circumstance of the account at thr banker's having been kept in his (Louis's) name, and not in that of the Duke. Saville, however, takes care not to explain this fact to the Countess, who in her turn re ' hates all she has heard to Louis, who, as the Baron de Fleury, has come to teach her the waltz. The Baron refuses to give her a less:m unless she will see the Duke and hear his explanation. This she promises to do, and then follows a most humorous scene—the first lesson in waltzing, the pupil being the Countess, and the tutor the Baron. This scene, which was admirably given by Farren and Mrs. Clifford, elicited roars of laughter and applause. They are interrupted by Saville, and, on the Countess retiring, the Baron at once designates him as a scoun,'rel for his conduct to the Duke de Choiseul, and challenges him to fight. At first he laughs at the idea of a duel with a dancing-master ; but when the dancing -master, locking the doors, and taking down two swords, the larger of which he present s t o S av ill e , announceshim self as Louis de Bayard, Knight of the Ord( r of St. Louis, Saville accepts the challenge. They fight, and Saville is disarmed. The fencing of Farren in this scene was very beautiful. A knocking is heard at the door, and Estelle enters, seeking the Countess, who had brought her from France, and with whom she hal rr sided ever since. Thl party is immediately joined by the Countess, who brings good news to Estelle —a cer tain Pierre Bayard, her uncle, had (lied im mensely rich, and has left his fortune to his nearest relative. That nearest relative is Louis, who transfers the whole of it to the Duke de Choiseul, and the Duke, of course, marries Estelle. The piece is well put up( n the stay, and was beautifully acted by Farren, Mrs. W. Clifford, and Mrs. Edwin Yarnold. It was preceded by The Cricket on the Hearth, and followed by The Bee and tie Orange Flower. Tier Majesty, accompanied by his Royal highness Prince Albert, and their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and their suites, honoured the theatre with their presenca last evening. The royal party occupied her Majesty's private box. LIFE ASSURANCE.—This most important subject, ap preciated as it may be at p r esent, is still more beneficially developed by the prospectus of a new association, the Alpha United Life Assurance and Investment Company, uniting with its posthumous utility immediate and continuous ad vantage dining liifei time. It proposes to purchase property, and give instant possession to the assurei, secured to the Company by lease or otherwise, extending and improving the equitable principles of Building Societies; thus affording perfect security and large return to the shareholder, an un limited field ter employment to the capitalist, full enjoy ment of pri v il eges at once to the purchaser, absolute con veyance on an agreed term of years, and certain unencum bered possession on death to his representatives, with an identity of interest between the borrower and the Company —thus completing, by these varied radii, .a centre of mutual support and safety. —Globe. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLISI.—The number of deaths during the last week was 901, Meg less by 8 than that of the previous week, and 179 below the average of five winters. 13 ronchitis is almost the only disease more fatal than usual. The number was 62, whilo the average is 31. The violent deaths were 18, of which 6 were suicides. FORTIFICATIONS OF LIVERPOOL.—The ne s batteries which are about to be erected at the northern extremity of the docks will be so situated as to cross their fire with that a of the fort on the Rock Perch, and to command both the narrow ch annels by which alone Liverpoo l i s access ibl e to a hostile force. —Liverpool Times. 4.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a good business done in C Won at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were very steadily supported. Sales about 8,030 bales, 1,000 being ou speculation ; 300 bales Brazil went at to 6d. • 300 Egyptian at sd. to Gd. ; 400 S ura t at 2 3 ,d. to 3d. per lb. ; a n d American at 3 3 4 to sd. The market was good for the old shares, but scrips were lower. By a direct arrival we have accounts of September 24 from Van Dieman's Land. The colonists appeared to be greatly interested in the admission of their grain for consumption in England, and will be gratified therefore at the new arrangement of the duties, al though they no doubt would have preferred a differential duty. From advices of August 16 from New Zealand, it appears that a pitched battle between the natives, under Held, and cur troops, was daily expected at the Bay of Islands. In papers of September 10, from Sydney, it is stated that the duty upon colonial and imported spirits was expected to be re duced ene-half. The fbllowing satisfactory Information on the state of the Man chester market, has been kindly furnished us by Messrs. M'Nair and Co., of that place : " Our last, dated the 31st ult., would prepare you for the gradual amendment in the trade of this district. The intervening period has realised our anticipations. Without any animation, and notwith standing the reatarkaMy anomalous position of the Money Market, which has rendered discounts upon paper of a purely commercial character, almost unattainable, a very considerable business has been transacted during the month on both cloth and yarn, attended Well higher prices upon many descriptions of each. Had it not been for the scarcity of money, the Improvement would have been much greater, and prices generally would have ruled higher. The latter, however, is not to be regretted, but it is to be lamented that a legiti mate trade should be interrupted and restricted in its expansion by unwarranted and indescribably mischievous speculations. Matters, however, with respect to the railway deposits cannot remain, we apprehenel, much longer as they are. When they Lave terminated, and a relaxation of the present tightness of money becomes available; and when to them mu be added the probability of an early settle ment of the cora-law question, a further improvement will occur in business, not only here, but in ether manufacturing localities." Everything is rising in the English Stock Market, and the further improvement is to N per cent. The lodgments with the Ac countant-General being so large, If only a portion of them be invested in stock, the effect upon prices must be very decided, and coupled with the daily purchases for the Sinking Fuud, the Courts of Chan cery, &e., must act as a powerful counterpoise to the influence of even the most adverse political events. 111 fact, with such an in evitable demand for Stock, the Bears become comparatively power less. Consols have been 953, , but arc now 96% for Money, and fie% for Time. Exchequer-bills have been also again higher, viz., 325. to 365. premium. Bank Stock has been quoted 207% to 20814 . New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 99% to %. East India Stock is worth 236 to 258. The Foreign Stocks are firmer ; but, except in Dutch stock, there has nut been much doing.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. LOSS OF THE CATARAQUI EMIGRANT SHIP. 414 LIVES LOST. The following particulars of the loss of the above ves sel are condensed from the Port Philip and Hobart Town papers, received et Lloyd's this morning : " It is our melancholy duty to lay before the public the particulars of the most awful shipwreck which has ever occurred in these colonies—the total wreck of the emigrant ship Cataraqui, upon the iron bound coast of King's Island. How terribly does this catastrophe give weight to the observations we made in our last number upon the imperative necessity of constructing light• houses on the shores of Bass's Strains,- whilst daily and hourly hundreds of valuable lives are incurring the same dangers as those who have thus been sacrificed. The following particulars are from Mr. Guthrie, the chief mate, who, with his eight fellow-survivors, reached the shore almost in a state of nudity, having of course lost everything they possessed. The Catarequi, Captain C. W. Finlay, sailed from Liverpool on the 20th of April, with 369 emigrants, and a crew, iucluuing two doctors, M. C. Carpenter — and Edward Carpenter (brothers), of forty-six souls.. The emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire, Stafford shire, Yorkshire, and Nottingliatushire. About 120 of the passengers were married, with families, and, in all, seventy-three children. On the 3d of August, at seven in the evening, the ship was hove-too, and con tinued laying to until three, Aar ,of the 4th. At half pest four, it being quite dark and raining hard—blowing a perfect gale and the sea running mountains high—the ship struck on a reef, situate on the west coast of King's Island, entrance of Bass's Straits. No opportunity had offered for taking an observation, to enable the captain to ascertain the ship's course, for four days prior to the ship striking ; and from the dead reckoning kept, it wa= presamed that the vessel was in 141 deg. 22 min. east longitude;and 32 min. 17 sec. south, which would make her between sixty or seventy miles from King Island. Immediately the ship struck she was sounded, and four feet water was in the hold. The scene of confusion and misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to describe. All the passengers attempted to rush upon deck, and many succeeded in doing so, until the ladders were knocked down by the workings of the vessel, when the shrieks from men, women and children, from beiow, were terrific., calling on the watch on deck to assist them. The crew to a man were en deck the moment the ship struck, and were instantly employed in handing up the passengers. Up to the time the vessel began break ing up, it is supposed that between 300 and 400 were got on deck by the extraordinary exertions of the crew. At this time the sea was breaking over the ship on the leis-board side, sweeping the decks, every sea taking away more or less of the passengers. About 5 A.m. the ship careened right over on her larboard side, washing away boats, bulwarks, spars, and a part of the cuddy, and literally swept the decks. At this critical period the captain gave orders to cut away the masts, hoping the vessel would right, to enable the crew to get on deck the passengers left below. Everything was done that could Le under the circumstances to put the vessel upright, but all to no purpose. The passengers below were now all drowned, the ship being full of water, and the captain gave those on deck directions to cling to that part of the wreck then above water, until daylight, hoping that the spars would be of some service in making a breakwater-under lee, and thus enable the survivors to get on shore in the morning. When day broke we found the stern of the vessel washed in, and numerous dead bodies floating around the ship, some hanging upon the racks. Several of the passeegers and crew (about 200 altoeather), were still holding on to the vessel. The sea breaking over, and every wave washing some of them away. Abeut four in the afternoon the vessel sterted amidships, at the fore part of the main rigging, when immediately some 70 or 100 were launched into the tumultuous and remoreeless waves ! The survivors ran ridge lines along the side of the wreck, to enable them to hold on. The remainder of the upper deck now began to break up and wash away. A buoy was now made, and floated towards the shore, but it could not he got nearer than twenty yards from the shore, owing to its getting entangled with the sea weed on the rocks, and there was not one on shore to catch it and secure it on the sand. The fury of the waves continued unabated, and about five o'clock the wreck parted by the forerigging, and so merry souls were submerged in the waters, that only severity survivors were left, crowded on the forecastle, who were then lashed to the w reek. The sea continued breaking over them, the winds raging, and the rain heavy all night, and thus the poorcreatures eonti nued. Numbers died and fell overboard, or sunk and were drowned at the places where they were lathed. When day broke the following morning, it eves discovered that only about thirty were left alive. The sea was now making a clean breach into the forecastle, the deck of which was rapidly breaking u p. About this time, whilst cumbers were helplessly clinging to the bows, and con tinued dropping off without the possibility of succour, the captain attempted to reach the shore, but was un able, and with some assistance regained the wreck. The lashings of the survivors were now undone, in order to give them the last chance of life. Mr. Thomas Guthrie, the chief mate, now on the spritsail yard, was washed out to the bowsprit ; he saw the capt a i n , th e sec o n d mate, and steward cinging to the .bows, with about eighteen or twenty dead bodies on the fragment of the wreck. Mr. Guthrie was now driven to a detached part of the wreck, but soon found it impossible to live with such a sea breaking over him; ho seized a piece of plank under his arm, leaped into the water, and was carried over the reef and got ashore. Ife found a passenger, who had got ashore during the night, and one of the crew. John Robinson plunged into the water when he saw the mate ashore, and partly swim m i ng , an d partly driven, reached land. Five other seamen followed, and landed dreadfully exhausted. Almost immediately after the vessel totally disappeared. 'Thus, out of 423 sonls on board, only nine were saved, The names of those saved are—Mr. Thomas Guthrie, chief mate; Solomon Brown, emigrant; Juhn Roberts, William Jones, Francis Millen, John Simpson, John Robertson, and Pet er J o h nson, a b le seamen; and Wm. Blackstock, apprentice. • They had neither fhod nor drink from the time the vessel struck (Sunday) to Tuesday afternoon, when they found one small tin of preserved fowl ; after eating which they went and laid down on the bush, having got a wet blanket out of the water for their only covering, and being almost quite destitute of clothes. The beach was strewed with pieces of the wreck and portions of dead bodies in horrible profusion. After a vain search for water, and without finding any other survivors, they slept that night in the bush. - Thu following morning they found a cask of water on shore, bat were unable to make a fire. However, about nine or ten o'clock in the fore noon they observed a smoke, which, presuming they were on the main land, they imagined was a fire of the natives. Shortly after they saw a white man ap proaching, who turned out to be Mr. David Howie, residing upon the island. It seems Mr. Howie., observing a portion of the wreck, arranged to reconnoitre the whole island. As Mr. Howie's boat was wrecked, there was no possibility of leaving the island. The party, therfore, constructed a hut, and remained five weeks, during which time they were most hospitably provided for by Mr. Howie and his party, according to their means, the supplies having to be carried forty miles, over a most difficult road. On the 7th of September they saw the Midge beating fur the island, which took them off with much difficulty; and by the aid of Mr. Howie, on Tuesday, September 9, they larded at Hobson Bay, at half-past ten this day (September 13). Throughout the whole of these trying events the sur vivors give all praise to the captain and crew for their exertions, and it was not until all hope was utterly ex tinguished that they left the vessel. Mr. Guthrie, the mate, is also warmly commended. They employed them selves in hurt ing the dead bodies they picked up, the mangled condition of many of which it is too painfully horribie to describe; and they speak in the most grati fied manner of the exertions and aid of Mr. Howie and his party of sealers, who reside upon King's Island.

STATE OF DUNGARVAN.—The accounts We continue to receive from Dungarvan are, indeed, melancholy in the extreme. Sickness, scarcity, and want of employment, shed their bitterness upon the devoted heads of the poor. There are upwards of five thousand human beings, we are given to understand, in a state of want and wretchedness, requiring as sistance from i tlovernment, or from those whom God has blessed with means for such purpose. The poorhouse is crammed with women and children, in which there are also upwards of forty men capable of work, but none to be had. The spread of fever is really alarming, induced, of course, from want, cold, and hunger. Nor do the evils stop here. The poor law guardians met on last Thursday, when they reported that the supplyof potatoes, destined for use during the season, an carefully put up, turned out, on examination, to be more than half rotten, and that the remainder are going fast,— Cork Examiner. a At I ing fan th,, att, %E t) Ilel Ilkt
