The inhabitants of the interior classes had spared no expense to enhance the splendour of the fetes, and many hundred children represented in the .proces sion the fathers of the Church, the principal male and , fcmtle saints of Paradise, the patriarchs, &c. All were bLautifully dressed, and some with the most dazzling, magnificence. The young ladies represented the Queen' of Heaven under the various titlei applied to the Virgin. They wore long velvet cloaks, the trains of which were borne by very little angels. One of the daughters of Baron de Pira, wore a diadem of complete regal a'tire, which cost, as we are assured, 10,000 francs. It would be difficult to form.an idea of the imposing appearance of the procession. In order to protect the procession from the crowd, some strong men were ranged on each side, holding; ropes at curtain distances on the whole line which it was to pass, so that perfect order was maintained. _ _ AusTnia. MERAN, OCT. 6.-111 s Majesty the King of the Belgians pa-sed only five days at Botzen, and spent the remainder of the time apportioned to his visit to the Tyrol, in a closer inspection of the environs -of Meram, w hich he traversed for the most part on foot, and by his cheerful condescensi-li gained the hearts of all who ap proached him. his ,Mejtsty was s‘i much delighted with Passer that it is probable that be will make a lor:ger stay on some future occasion. His 111.1jesty left Meram yesterday, and proceeded across the stilterjoch to Como, from which place he will return, without much delay in Switzerland, to his own dominions. STIITGARD, OCT. 9.—The Grand Duke Constantine departed fur Russia at an early hour this morning, after a stay of sixteen days. DRESDEN, OCT. :2.-- According to a Nuremburg correspondent, the prospects of the completion of the line of the Bavarian and Saxon Railway, in the Saxon territory, are most unfavourable. Of the required sum of five or six millions beyond the first eitimate given, not a tenth part has been raised by means of subscriptions on shares which should have a prior claim, notwithstanding the success of the line from Leipsic to Reichenback, which yields a return of 4 and 4i per cent , and is about to commence a reserve fund. Tha workmen employed on the bridges in the valleys of Detsch and Miter, about 3,000 in number, have lately left the works, because their wages had been stopped, and the line has now been wholly abandoned. The Government, alone, which is pledged in such cases to render assistance, can complete this railway. It is reported that the States are shortly to be s ummoned , to deliberate upon this point. rt.?. to 14 to IS to 18 to 25 to SPORTING INTRLLIGENCE ---„ NEWMARKET SECOND WEDNE,DAY NIGHT.—LATI 11:GESIIIRE STAKLS.—Even 7 to 1 ngst.Alann—taken OCIOBER MEETING. sT BELTING 013 THE CAM; 12 to I cgst Conspiracy—t 1 2rgst lago 1 agst sis. to Joanna c 1 agst Sting 1 agst Lad Wildair 1 agst Red Robin—t le field against seven. 25 to 1 agst Best Bower 25 to 1 agst Evenus 30 to 1 agst Garry Owen—t 30 to 1 agst Vanish 30 to 1 agst Finvaragh 33 to 1 agst Laundrymaid 40 to 1 agst Terrier on tL 25 to 1 agst Refraction 50 given for the call of 4,000 to 1,000 about Alarm on the day of the race. 900 to 100 laid several times against Alarm winning this race and his match with Oakley.

TIMES.—The sententious preclamations of the tele graphs have at length struggled through the heavy and ominous clouds which interposed themselves between MArid and Neuilly, and Louis Philippe has been au thentically informed that the Duke de Montpensier has been married to the Infanta of Spain. Such is the bare and frigid announcement. Perhaps, his Majesty now conceives that the victory is won, and that his family will gather in the glittering spoils, and revel in the cap tured city long after the passing jealousy of an ally and the envious cavils of a neighbour have sunk into silence and oblivion. Sent tanti. It is worth a little discredit and some disturbance to have another chance of level- ling the Pyrenees and doubling the dynasty of Orleans. The ides of March are come. Before they are past we shall see a little more clearly what is to be the cost of the prize. Already is misfortune augured from the boding incidents of a solemnity which should have made the year a jubilees. The Spanish Queen and her sister should have been dowers d with the hearts of their people; not a voice should have been heard but that of favour, and not a coun tenance seen but that of joy ; liberated captives should have 'milked the national holiday ; and the true and tried allies of Spain should have sent their representa tives to the altar to carry the combined congratulations of Europe. What has been the reality? A secret and suspicious negotiation, with rumours of violence and symptoms of freed, liss been terminated by an abrupt and unblessed aleance. The marriage of an Infanta has been compassed and concluded under circumstances which no Castilian noble would tolerate in his own family. Amidst the sullen silence of an offended people, environed by cavalry and guarded by cannon, the intru sive bridegroom has traversed the streets of his newly found capital, throegh a crowd whose most friendly feeling was indifference, and whose most innocent senti ment was inquisitiveness. No sound of welcome saluted his cars or cheered him into momentary confidence. The energy of an unscrupulous Government contrived to suppress disgust, but it could not supply acclamations. Arrests instead of amnesties characterised this sinister festival of a nation ; the marriage of a Princess has been seen to crowd the prisons with her sister's sub jects. From the ill-starred ceremony the friends of Spain stood coldly aloof, and the representative of her truest ally and surest supporter withdrew from the scene, after having vainly tendered the amicable remonstrances of his country against the contemplated contract. What will come of a bargain thus ominously struck—thus stripped of the joys and gratulations of such solemnities, and completed amidst such dark prog nostics of impending evil? The political and natural horizons were black and overcast as at one of those mar riages which, in heathen fable, used to entail miseries and bloodshed on innumerable generations ; and not even the fatal ,vtedding of Marie Antoinette was more gloomily characterised than these precipitate nuptials of a helpless Princess. Superstition was perhaps required to infer massacres and ruin from the fall of a scaffold and the deadly struggles of a crowd ; but the most sober prudence can only augur conflicts and convulsions from an outraged people, an estranged ally, an enslaved court, and a detested intruder. Already ie the unknown issue of a marriage, which should have supplied reversionary heirs to the Crown, ignored by that Power to whose friendly aid both Crown and Constitution owe so much; et there is joy and gladness at Versailles, as if forty years had not taught them to dread the tempera ment of Spain. It might be imagined that the re cords of 1808 were forgotten or inaccessible, so little is learned from the lesson which they so loudly teach. Indolent apathy might then, perhaps, have been mistaken for popular acquiescence ; but such a blunder is strangely simple now. It was amidst the apparent in difference of carelessness or content that the French co lumns were pushed across the Pyrenees, and established in the frontier fortresses, while the partition of Portugal was put forth as a transparent pretext for the occupation of Spain. It was without question or interruption that aeries and Ferdinand continued their unbecoming arrels, and tossed their neglected kingdom for arbi tration or acceptance into the hands of the wily ruler of France. Not a murmur reached the guard-rooms of the arrogant Joseph, when the ninety-one notables had con veyed to him, as he fondly conceived, the peaceable and entire possession of the monarchy of Spain. Nev:Aeon had stronger grounds of confidence than Louis Philippe; for Charles was an idiot, and Godoy was a fool ; and if the ambitious Corsican thought that Spaniards would willingly acquiesce in a Monarch and Constitution of his gift, he might have been, more readily par doned for forgetting 1706, than can King Louis Philippe be for forgetting 1808.. A week trans formed apathy into insurrection. A flame, the most fierce and violent, burst forth instantaneously from ashes under which scarce a spark was thought to smoulder. Arragon, Navarre, the Asturias, Biscay, and the Cas tiles, successively or simultaneously proclaimed their spirit and their strength, and not a link was wanting in a chain which encompassed the French intruders with the vindictive hostility of an insulted nation. Spain seems to fascinate the house of Orleans by an hereditary law. Scarcely had the first uxorious Bourbon been se cured in his palace by the ill-merited loyalty of Castile, than the Regent tampered with Stanhope for its transfer to his own branch, or at least for its partition ; and King Louis Philippe may, perhaps, recal the hour when he sailed with a Sicilian kinsman to Gibraltar in pursuit of this favourite prize, with somewhat different ideas of English interference from those professed at present. A few months will now probably show us how far he has succeeded in a feat which foiled the undying ambi tion of Louis le Grand and the unexampled might of Napoleon ; and what is the real value of the spoil for which he has not hesitated to imperil a thirty years' peace and convulse the relations of Europe. POST.—It seems to be generally admitted among the physicians of the mind, that there are intellectual as well as physical epidemics, and that the human understand ing has its influenzas as well as the human body. Fully appears to be as catching as the measles—any one gen tleman who may beinsane upon some point of " social improvement," has only to inoculate the brains of his neighbours, to cause the major part of the commu nity to take the mania kindly, and to go as stark staring mad upon the subject as himself. A little time ago the enlightened British public caught , the railway fever, and everybody was delirious about " junctions," " exten sions," and " directs ; " but being under skilful hands, the fever, as usual, was allayed by copious phlebotomy, or a considerable letting of the vital specie from the breeches pocket, and it . was found that, as in the well known case of Nicola', the Italian bookseller, the bleedin,g bad the effect of dissipating the illusion. The last new mental malady is an eruption of clubs. One or two " noble institutions" have already broken out, and the streets seem likely i n a s h or t time to be covered over with a severe rash of cockney Parthe nons, Palladiums, Athenaeums, and other Bow-bell temples of wisdom and boiled beef. The clerks and shopinen of the metropolis , are to be fed and philoso phised at cost price. alley are to have three courses of fish, flesh, and fowl, and a course of scientific lectures into the bargain, on the most reasonable terms ; and, so that no time may be lost, the mind is to be feasted with the body. A professor of hydrostatics is to come in with the soup—a lecture on ichthyolo g y to be served up with the fish—and a popular discourse upon comparative anatomy to lend all the relish of currant jelly to the mutton. Consequently we may entertain hopes of shortly seeing the day when Euclids shall measure oat yards of flannel on geometrical principles, when New tons shall calculate the gravity of our accounts at our bankers, and Bacons oblige us by handing us the copies of our writs. The richest, the raciest, the summa stadia of all, however, is a project for the construction of a series of social Chateaux en Espagne, given in a paragraph now going the circuit of the papers, and the first stone of which appears to have been }aid in the brain of some sapient correspondent of the Builder, who seems to possess a fine lath-and-plaster facility for running up castles in the air. The atmospheric archi tect puts forth a plan for what he calls " Family Club Chambers," by which he proposes that the future resi dences of the middle classes should consist, like Geefge Coleman's fat gentleman, of several single houses rolled into one. He is anxious to consolidate the domiciles, as well as the funds, of the London gentry, and to locate a different establishment on each different floor ; or, in other words, to run up what he calls "a palace" several families high, and so to found throughout the metropolis a number of little communities of " flats." But the gentleman cackles so eloquently on the subject, that, in order to allow him the opportunity of saving the British Capitol from the hands of the barbarians, we will give his own version of the scheme : " FAMILY CLUB CHAMBERS. That the union of several private residences under one roof would improve the architecture of London, is unquestionable. If it were properly carried into effect, we might live to see palaces erected for the a ccommodation of the middle classes, instead of interminable rows of mean dwellings, which depress the spirits of all who behold them. The system would also be most advantageous in preventing the inconvenient extension of the metropolis." So that " those interminable roes of mean dwellings" which constitute the localities of Russell, Eaton or Bry anstone-squares, which we believe were erected for the accommodation of the middle classes, but from the con templation of which we must confess we ne ver expe rienced that "depression of spirits" which the aerial builder mentions, are, we suppos e, to be h orizontally ar condensed, rivea t tandthe alt altitude of the perpendicularly bra ee elongated, ns stucco Mont Blanesd until they y so de m - and P u a c r li k' m ore wwhmicchh are e an o k f co t u h r e se fi t l o be t r h t e e a n e t n r . a a r i z il t d o er H , inspiriting to behold, and must be so healthy t o ascen d. This arrangement certainly might have the effect of " stopping the inconvenient extension of the m e t ropo li s " spoken of ; but though it might prevent London from growing a Daniel Lambert in bulk, we fea r th a t it would be the cause of the buildings becoming O'Briens in height. HERALD.—We are free to confess that we have much greater expectations of Lord Cottenham as a law reformer than we ever entertained of Lord Ly n dh urs t. The last-mentioned Noble Lord occupied the great seal for the third time from 1841 till the middle of the pre sent year; and though no man was better aware of the evil of the monopoly of the sergeants than the Noble and Learned Lord, or knew better the ill effects of choking up the approach to one of her Majesty's superior courts,—or more sardonically laughed at the folly of maintaining, in the nineteenth century, the us ages an d customs of the twelfth and thirteenth,— or more stoutly maintained the propriety and necessity of Lord Broug barn's efforts to open the Common Pleas, than Lord L 3 ndhursa—yet such waf the uncontrollable laziness of his nature—such his insentient and careless character-- that lie never made for five long years the sli g ht es t effort to repair a state of things which was operating alike to the injury of the Bar and Bench, and— w h a t was of far more consequence than either— to the great injury and oppression of the suitors frequenting her Majesty's courts of common law. Somewhere about, the middle of the month of July, we believe, the great seals were delivered to Lord Cottenham, and on the 18th . of August he had drawn up and passed through Parlia ment the 9th and 10th Vict. c. 54, entitled "An Act to extend to all Barristers practising in the Superior Courts at Westmin , ler the Privileges of Sergeants-at law in the Court orCommon Pleas." .As this Act is a model of brevity and clearness, and a full measure of justice to both branches of the profession, and to all suitors, we transcribe it in - ertaiso, in eider that its provisions may be thoroughly known : " Whereas it would tend to the more equal distribu tion and to the consequent dispatch of business in the superior courts of common law at Westminster, and would at the came time be greatly for the benefit of the public, if the right of barristers-at-law to practise, plead, and to be heard extended equally to all the said courts; but, by reason of the exclusive privilege of sergeants-at law to practise, plead, and have audience in the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster during term time, such object cannot be effected without the authority of Par liament: Be it therefore enacted by the Queens most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual end tempera!, end Cranmons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act all barristers-at-law, according to their respective rank and seniority, shall and may have and exercise equal rights and privilege of practising, pleading, and audience in the said Court of Common Pleas'.at Westminstor with the said sergeants-at-law; and it Oita! be lawful for the jus tices of the said court, or any three of them, of whom the Lord Chief Jusice of the said court shall be one, t make rules and orders, and to do all other things neces sary for giving effect to this cnactment." That this measure will not only, in the language of its preamble, tend to the more equal distribution but to the consequent dispatch of business in the courts at Westminster, there can be no manner of doubt. For the last five years the Court of Queen's Bench has been overwhelmed with a mass and multitude of .business which no five—or probably no ten judgel—im her Majesty's dominions could effectually get through, so as to leave no arrears at the end of the term, or, if you will, at the end of the judicial year. Some idea, and that a faint one, of the increasing bulk and importance of the business, may be formed from the fact that one of the volumes of the Term Reports, which in the days of East—i. e., from 1800 to 1812—used to amount to about 550 pages, now, in the days of Adolphus and Ellis, amounts to the astoundin4 number of 1,080 and 1,105 pages. The cases of parish law, and involving decisions on the new Poor-law Act, have increased tenfold since the days of East—while cases of corpora tion law have, since 1832 or 1833, increased in a nearly equal ratio. Railroads, teo, have brought in their train_ (we mean no pun) a new, i.istinct, . and very fruitful class of cases, altogether unknown to the old law; and unle:s each one of the three courts of common law perf*rms a nearly equal share of labour, the engine of justice, to make use of a railroad illustration, will be altogether at a stand-still. The idea of " exclusive privilege" to practipe and plead in a par ticular court can, in the present day, only be defended by the possession of superior learning, astuteness , and aptitude—and we have yet to learn that any one of the twenty-seven sergeants, or sergeants' counters, as they are called in " Horne's Mirrour," possesses a greater aptitude than any competent " apprentice" or " utter barrister" in Westminster Hall. Whether the black patch on the top of the wig 'or the purple gown of the sergeant, described thus by Jekyll, " Their purple garments come from Tyre, - Their arguments go to it," confers on him any extraordinary capability, we leave to be determined by the learned brother who published the ease of the sergeants-at law, and who aspirated at a Lord Mayor's dinner a fervent Nish that sergeants might eat calipee and calipash at the Mansion-house feasts so long as British law and the British constitution lasted. Joking, _ ..... _ however apart,_ there are not above seven or eight of these serge ant counters who enjoy any considerable practice, and to say that the whole legal business of the country should suffer, to secure the monopoly of these gentlemen, is a proposition so monstrous, that it need merely be enunciated to be at once placed in the limbo of preposterous follies. It is, indeed, of the mainest importance—as every practicable: man knows—to the attorney, to have his cause handled, ab ovo usque ad inala —from the beginning to the ending—by the came counsel. A cause is generally best managed in which the counsel who has first advised as to the preliminary steps and pleadings, advises and argues to the end. Practically this was not so in the Common Please under the arrangement maintained by Lord Lyndhurst— himself an old and eminent sergeant. For from every circuit in England causes were argued in Banco by sergeants who had not led at the trial, either at Liverpool—or Exeter—or Stafford—or Bury—oi Lincoln—or Chester—or Swansea—as the case might be. And the preposterous and unjust part of the arrrangement was, that sergeants who excluded all other barristers from their close court—free as "chartered libertines themselves—took the wide range of Westminster Hall, and plied, such of them as had large business, like Sir Thom,s Wilde—their gainful trade and tuneful tongues —in every court, from that of the Lord Chancellor down to the latest created Vice-Chancellor's Court or Court of Bankruptcy. This was a manifest injustice, and could only be defended by those who resorted for anti quarian arguments to Fortescue and Dyer, or by those sergeant counters who told us,. as an extinguisher of all discussion, in the words of Sir Edward Coke, in his prefaces to the Eighth Report, and in his First Institute, that s ale Common Pleas existed , as a distinct court bee the Conquest, and was not created by Magna Charta. To such pre-adniite pleaders for exclusive privileges as these—to such preposterous pedants and prigs—it was vain to urge the spirit of the Uniformity of Process Act, altering the mode of proceeding in the Common Pleas— as well as in all the other courts—vainer still to urge the spirit and exigencies and re quirements of the age and time in which we live—for they were blind as well as deaf to what was passing around them. But now their illusions are dissipated,—not by the Queen's writ—bet by the Att of Parliament, which we have given in its entirety. No longer, therefore, can the ancient counters— " The sergeants-at-law both ware and wise, Who often do come to the parvise," claim exclusive privilege "pur enginer la court," to use the words of the statute of Westminster—(and which has been erroneously translated in the statute-book " to beguile the court," for the words mean to dupe and de ceive, and the phrase is so used by La Fontaine), for Lord Cottenhana has levelled the barriers they erected, and opened the common bench to the common bar, — to men with stuff in their heads, and with stuff on their backs. ADVERTISER.—The meeting held at Manchester oa Tuesday last, for the purpose of memorialising Go verGo- vernment on the subject of abolishing entirely the re maining duties on foreign corn, will, we have no doubt, be followed by similar assemblages in all parts of the country. Indeed one has already taken place in Sun derland. It is only surprising that meetings, having for their object the opening of the ports, have not before now taken place in every populous town in the country. There is only une thing, in connexion with this subject, which has caused us greater surprise. Can our readers guess what that one thing is ? If they bestow a nr• ment's reflection on the matter, they cannot fail to arrive at a right conclusion. That which excites is, our amaze ment to the highest pitch, in connexion with the pre vailing alarm and the impending famine, that Govern ment should not, weeks ago, have thrown open the ports to the untaxed admission of foreign corn. The astonishment which we feel is not confined to our selves. It is shared by the country. It is un i versa ll y felt. If ever a Minister's course was clear, if ever his duty was plain, Lord John Russell's was so in reference to the unbarring of oxr ports to the admission of foreign corn, duty free, whenever it was seen that the potato env in Ireland was a total failure, and that the corn harvest generally throughout the kingdom was below an average. How Lord John Rus sell can reconcile his refusal to open the ports at such a crisis as that which has overtaken us, with the duties which, as the first Minister of the Crown, he owes alike to the Sovereign and the people, is more than we are able to comprehend. It is for himself to explain it. If the Noble Lord can make out a case for himself; he must be a much abler logician than the public has hitherto given him credit for. One thing is certain—there isnot a man beyond the pale of the Cabinet who does not feel and say that a graver dereliction of duty was never com mitted by any Minister. Time was when the Noble Lord would have been impeached for such neglect. Many a Minister before him has stood at the bar of Par liament for dereliction of duty of a much less nature. Morally, the Noble Lord is responsible for every death from starvation which talaes place in Ireland ; constitutionally, he ought to be also so considered, and be dealt with ac cordingly. Nay, more, we maintain that Lord John Russell is responsible for every breach of the peace which may take place in Ireland, and every outrage on property which may occur in that country, which has its origin in the present scarcity and higis prices of food. 11,1 we absolve from blame those who may be the prin cipal actors in any popular outbreaks on the other side of the Channel ? Nothing can be farther from our minds. The . law must deal with all such persons as guilty. They must be punished. On the contrary hypo thesis, there would be an end of all order. Society would be disorganised. Anarchy would everywhere prevail. So long as laws exist, they must be enforced, even when their violators have been worked up by cir cumstances over which they had no control, to a state of desperation. But if the wretched peasantry of Ireland are not to be held guiltless, even with all the palliating considerations which, in their present condition, can be urged in their fa vour, what shall be said of the criminality, both moral and constitutional, of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, when lie has refused to adopt a course which would have had the effect of miti gating the evils which hare driven the Irish to this state of desperation ? The Whig Premier has the reputation of being a cool and courageous man. The epithets of coolness and courage are not those which are to be applied to his present conduct. Callousness to human suffering, insensibility to human wretchedness ; in a word, downright inhumanity, are the only terms which can properly characterise the conduct of Lord John Russell. It was the prevailing impression, sumo time ago, that Sir Robert Peel had no heart. The question whether the Right Hon. Baronet possesses that article or not, is one which we have no inclination to discuss just now. But one thing we know, and that is, that had he been still Premier, he would, at least a month ago, have thrown open the ports. Whether humanity or policy had prompted him to the ac t, we care not to inquire ; it is enough for us to know that he would have done it. And that he would no one can doubt, with the recorded declaration before him of the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the reason of his resignation, in Novembar last, was because he could not induce his colleagues to concur in the propriety of then opening the ports.

George Saxby Pen fold, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, Marylebone, which event tookplaCe at the late residence of the Rev. Gen tleman, in Dorset-square, on the morning of Wednesday last. Dr. Penfold was educated at Cambridge, and ob tained high honours in that University. The Rev. Gen tleman for many years officiated as minister of Christ Church, but , on the division of the parish of St. Mary lebone into ecclesiastical districts, he was presented to the incumbency of the Trinity district. By the death of the Rev. Gentleman, the rectory of Trinity Church, and that of Kingswinford. Staffordshire, have become vacant. The rectory of Trinity is in the gift of the Crown, the annual value being 043/. To the rectory of Kingswin ford the Rev. Doctor was instituted in 1832. Its annual value is 9001., and the patronage is vested in Lord Ward. Dr. Penfold, since his introduction to the metropolitan benefice, has taken an active part in parochial affairs. He was considered a sound and eloquent preacher. Mr. Rowland Hill, the promoter of our postal re form, is at present in Paris, and was at a dinner given him by the Society of Economists on the 11th instant. PROPOSED COLLEGE AT BMGIITON.—We are in formed that a college of a superior kind is to be opened at Brighton shortly after Christmas, com prising a lower school fur younger boys, a higher department of a mote collegiate character for the elder pupils, and classes for occasional students in the highest branches of classical, scientific, and theo logical reading. The students will be fully prepared for the universities, and for the naval and military profes sions. The times require thit places of sound educa tion should be multiplied in our land; that the advan tages of the old public schools should be retained and rendered more accessible, while their defects are avoided; and that the principles of an intelligent piety, and en lightened attachment to the Church of England, should be more intimately and cordially blended with the gene ral plan of education. It seems scarcely possible to name a locality - better adapted for such a design than Brightori, from its increasing population, residents as well as occasional,' and from its acknowledged healthi ness. The retries which sand at the head of the insti tution, and the high character and classical and mathe matical attainments of ha Principal and Vice-Principal are a guarantee to the public that it will fulfil what it professes. DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.—IIer Majesty's frigate Phaeton, 50' guns, and Termagant steam-frigate, are ordered to be completed with all possible expedition, and for that purptse all the hands employed upon the Eu phrates, Archer, and Partheon, have been drawn off and placed upon the two first-named vessels. HAYMARKET THEATRE. An excellently well-built and very cleverly written farce, entitled Spring Gdrdens, was produced here last evening, from the practised pen of Mr. Planehe. The scene is laid at an ordinary, in . Spring-gardens, some time towards the latter end of the seventeenth century. Scoreup, (Mr. Buckstone), the keeper of the ordinary, is a jealous-pated,fool, with a pretty wife, Mrs. Scoreup (Miss Julia Bennett). His ordinary is frequented by various roué courtiers, who tolerate his execrable wine for the sake of flirting with his pretty wife. The jealousy of Scoreup is without the slightest foundation—albeit he endeavours as much as possible to keep his wife out of view, and with that iew he sends her down to Brentford on a particular day, when divers of the Court gallants are expected at his house. Among these is Lord Courtington (Mr. 11. Ploll), who has certain designs upon the pretty Mrs. Scoreup, and who manages, by means of his servant Lightfoot (admirably acted by Mr. Clark), to waylay her, and to transfer her from the Brentford stage to his own apartments, where are divers fine articles of dress prepar‘d for his fiancee, the Lady Clarissa (whom he has not seen), the niece of the Lord Keepei. The Lady Cla rissa (Mrs. L. S. Buckingham), has heard of the roué character of Lord Courtington, and knowing that Seoreup's ordinary is one of his haunts, determines to go there in disguise, in order to see him as he really is. The Lady Clarissa herself is in love with Sir Ar thur Lovel (Mr. Howe). She arrives at Scoreup's just after the departure of Mrs. Scoreup, and she bribes mine host to permit her to appear as one of his house hold, in order to see Courtington in his true colours. Courtington arrives, and his man ineorms him that Mrs. Scoreup, after being, as he thought, safely lodged in his appartments, had disguised herself in the attire she found there, and made her escape. Immediately after wards Mrs. Scoreup enters, dressed as a Duchess; she is full of rage against Courtington, whom she finds there, for the trick he has played upon her, and Courtington cndea vourslto arouse her jealousy against Scorcup. Most opportunely for his plans, the Lady Clarissa, disguised as a domestic, enters, and says she is Seoreup's cousin sent for by him to keep his house, in the absence of his wife. Sh• refuses to accede to Courtington's propo sitions, but still she wishes to be revenged upon, or rather to discover, the machinations of Scoreup ; and, therefore, consents to cline with Courtington, masked. Scorcup is ordered to bring up the dinner and wine, and, by desire of Mrs. Scoreup, he is ordered to bring up the wine with the yellow seal on the cork. Puzzled to . know how Courtington could have discovered the se cret of his best bin, he yet obeys the order. He leaves the room ; Courtington being sent for, also quits the ordinary, having previously taken the precau tion of locking up Mrs. Seoreup in an anti-room. Sir Arthur Lovell enters ; recognises Lady Clarissa in her disguise ; they have an interview with Mrs. Scoreup, who appears at a window ; Courtington's villainy is , discovered, and the tables are turned upon him. In the meantime Scoreup has been endeavouring. by means of a bottle of wine, to pump Lightfoot, and from him he learns that be (Lightfoot) saw Mrs. Scoreup emerge from a Brentford s t age an d t h row h er arms round the neck of a Major of Drag oons Hi s ts u l sor ts o mistakes in jealousy serving i t s h a e r d o i u o s n edand h er , th e (l e icnonnei fur r four, for Sir Arthur Lovell tells Courtington that he too has an assignation ith the fair damsel, when Courtington has already s served up to Courtingto n them, and the dinner is a e n e d n Sir o . st L ( bring ell, and Cl.i tw rissa a n d Mr s . Sc o r eup , thea masked. Scoreup fancies once or twice that the Duchess is familiar with him, and at len gt h recogn i ses the voice of his wife. He is ordered out of the room, but determines, nevertheless, to watch ; and, accordingly, his head emerges from a trap door, and he is witness to the orgies; he • hears his wife defend him against the libels ard insinuations of Lord Courtington, he sees her resist the advances of the libertine, and he hears Courtington resign all pretensions to the Lady Clarissa, for the sake of Mrs. Scoreup. The plot is complete . Lad y C larissa discovers herself, and is resigned by Lord Courtington to Lovell. Scoreup finds that he has a . trustworthy wife, and he cares not who looks at and admires her. The arch intriguer, Courtington, beats a retreat, under cover of a bun met, and his servant Lightfoot is ejected at the point of the spit b y Scoreu p . This little farce is full of bustle, intrigue, and wit. The dialogue is piquant enough to have carried off a much heavier plot ; the imbroglio is quite full enough of intrigues to have carried off a much heavier dialogue, while the incidents follow one another with such rapidity that the interest is perpetually kept alive ; and we recommend those who wish for an hour's plea sant amusement, to hie at once to the ordinary near Spring-gardens, where they will find excellent enter tainment every night between this and Christmas. COURT CIRCULAR.

MANCHESTER, THIIRSDAY.—The long•pending ques tion in the Reform Association as to the n om i nat i on o f Mr. Bright, at the next election for this borough, was settled yesterday. W. R. Callendar , Esq., was in the chair, and a motian was made 'by Alderman Kershaw, seconded by Alderman Bard, " that Mr. John Bright b e requested to allow himself to be put in , nomination at th e next general election for this borough. The resolution was carried with only two dissentients. ~. A deputation was then appointed to wait upon Mr. Bright, and the resolution appointing it provided" that in the event of Mr. Bright's accepting theinvita tion of the association, a general meeting of the Li beral electors be forthwith called to confirm the nomi nation." The deputation consisted of 'Messrs. Callender, Alderman Kershaw, Alderman Burd, Alderman Kay, George Wilson, W. Rawson, Edward Watkin, and Samuel Lees, and these gentlemen sent a special messenger to Mr. Bright, at Roch dale, yesterday, soliciting an interview this day at the League Rooms, Manchester. The messenger, however , did not succeed in meeting with the Honourable Gentle man, and at the meeting of the deputation this morning a messenger was dispatched with a letter to the Honour able Gentleman, announcing the resolution which had been come to. 1 Mr. Bright is expected to be in Manchester, to meet the deputation this evening at fi ve o'clock. Yesterday morning, during a rough sea and a heavy surge, Lieutenant Pratt and eleven of the Coast Guard at Brighton launched the life boat at the end of the chain pier, to go to the assistance of a sloop anchored about a milo off the cliffs. The crew, however, declined all assistance, and the life-boat returned through the heavy surge, riding gallantly on the water, and the Lieu nant and his men were greeted on their arrival by the cheer* ef hundreds of maxims spectators. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORT*NOUTII, TlMlSDAY.—Commodore Sir Francis Collier's red bread pem'ant still flies from the mainma,t head of the St. Vincent, all such reports as that of the gallant officer's " having struck his broad pendant at Portsmouth," and " hoisted a blue one on board the . William and Mary at Woolwieh," as stated by two " oracles" this morning, being false. Captain Stephen Lu3hington (1829), of the Retribution steam-frigate, is appointed to comm a nd the Vengeance, 84, advance ship at this port for the flag on "the Irish station. The officers and crew of the Retribution are to be transferred to the Vengeance, and will be turned over to her (according to present arrangement) on Saturday. The Retribution came into harbour this evening to be dismantled; various reports are in circula tion as to what is ultimately to he done with her. One is, that she is to be a steam tender to the Excellent, under the superintendence of Captain Chads, her present steam tender Bee (10-horse power, appropriated for the use of the students of the Excell nt, and Royal Naval College, to study and practice steam in), being too small for the, comfortable accounnodati,n of the numerous parties of ladies and gentlemen who so frequently avail themselves of her services in the summer to take a pic -11;e to th. Isle of Wight or elsea here. Captain Lushington returned from the Admiralty this afternoon. The Wasp, 16, Commander Us.her, sailed this morn ing at daylight for Sheerne-s, to be paid off. Lieutenant Oldm . xon (1815), First of the Styx steam slo.ip, on the coast of Africa, has been appointed by the senior officer, captain Manse], to the command of the Flying Fish, 12, also on that coast, until the arrival of Commander Dyke, appointed to her by the Admiralty. Lieutenant Selwyn (1843), First of the Actaeon, 26, has been appointed by Captain Manse], to command the Star, 16, on the coast of Africa, vice Hockin, invalided. The Penelope, 22, steam frigate, has not yet exhibited the pendant, nor has she anything above board yet on which she can hoist it, except her funnel. The Eurydice, 26, remains at Spithead. It is ru moured she is destined for the Cape of Good Hope sta tion, but no orders are yet promulgated. - PLYMOUTH, OCT. 14.—We had exceedingly fine wea ther yesterday, with a moderate breeze from north-west, in consequence of which the port was nearly cleared of the numerous ships which had found a secure anvhorage here during the late heavy gales. The Buckinghamshire, Capt. 11PGregor, from China, left on the 12th for London. Her Majesty's frigate America, 50, Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, sailed yesterday for the Mediterranean, taking 100 boys for distribution among Admiral Parker's fleet. The following also sailed yesterday :—the Hon. East India Company's steam frigate, Moosuffer, for Ben gal ; her Majesty's troop ship, Athol, for Bermuda and Burbadoes ; her Majesty's store ship, Diligence, for Gibraltar; the Australian emigrant ship David Malcolm, Captain Smith, with emigrants and passengers, for Sid ney ; and about 69 or 70 merchant vessels, foreign and coasting, for various destinations. Last night a severe storm sprang up from the south west. The schooner Queen Victoria, Captain Fox, belonging to Plymouth, in ballast, not having sufficient chain out, dragged her anchor in the Sound, and, in endeavouring to make sail, missed stays, and went ashore under the Hoe. Her owners have landed her sails and rigging, and hope to get her off next tide. A brigantine, belonging to South Wales, in entering Catwater, came in contact with and drove the trauling sloop Red Rover ashore in Deadman's-bay, where she will go to pieces. APPOINTMENTS. J. N. R.

DUNDRUM BAY, OCT. 11, Two O'CLOCK, P.M.—Since our last report the position of the Great Britain has considerably changed. On the top of the tide, on Fri day evening, whiltt some endeavours were making to ease her position, a strong south wind shifted her bows from north-east to direct west, in which posture she now lies, hard and fast, in about ten feet sand, with a base ment of hard rock. If she should move further to the north-west, she will shift on a ridge of rocks that will destroy her bottom. To-day the people on board mus tered between fifty and slxty; but a number of them are about to quit her immediately. Holes have been scut tled in her bottom, so that the tide rises inside to the height of the tide outside. All the coals have been sold, but the ship's stores remain on board. The customs have sealed up all the exciseable articles, not leaving even a glass of wine for the use of the captain, his crew, or visitors. A part of the crew of the Royal George, revenue cutter, consisting of eight men and Mr. Browne, the chief mate, arrived in Belfast, on Friday, from the Great Britain, on board of which vessel they had been assisting since her stranding. We understand Captain Hosken has expressed himself much indebted to Mr. Browne' and his party for the services they have ren dered him. THE GUN-COTTON in GERMANY. 1)r. Otto, Proles, or of Chymistry in Brunswick, has published the following statement in the Hanoverian Gazette : " Entirely - independent of Scheenbein and Thettger, hut relying on an observation of Pelouze, contained in the 136:11 pa:e of the first volume of my Manual of ymistry, I have succeeded in producing an exploding cotton, which, after a series of experiments, seems quite suited to supply the place of Gunpowder. In order to bring the results of important discoveries as speedily as possible to the highest stage of perfection, it seems to me necessary to lay them immediately before the public, in order that many persons may turn their attention to the subject. I scorn, tberefere, to sell or take out patent for my very interesting discovery, the conse quences of which are not easy to be foreseen ; and I now publish it for the general good of the public. In the preparation of the exploding cotton, common, well-cleaned cotton is dipped for about half a minute in highly con centrated nitric acid (the acid which I use being made by the distillation of ten parts of dried saltpetre and six of oil of vitriol), and then instantly placed in water, which must be often renewed, in order to free the cotton from the acid with which it is impregnated. Care must then be taken that all the knotty particles of the cotton are properly disentangled, and that it is thoroughly dried. After this the explosive preparation is ready for use; its effects create astonishment in all who witness them, and the smallest portion explodes when struck on an anvil with a hammer, like fulminating powder; when kindled with a glowing body it takes fire just like gunpowder, and when used in a gun its opera tion, though in a far greater proportion to its weight, is precisely the same as that of gunpowder. This gun cotton is employed exactly in the same way as gun powder; a piece of it is rammed down the barrel, then a bit of wadding, and after that a ball; a copper cap ignites and explodes the cotton. Without a single ex ception, all who have witnessed my experiments have been most completely satisfied ; but no one has men tioned the matter. The testimonial signed below by distinguished men, who are thoroughly acquainted with the use of fire-arms, will support my announcement. The testimonial is to the following effect:— " Yesterday, the 4th of October, we, the under:igned, assisted at the first experiment of the exploding cotton in the Laboratory in this city, and to-day we have con vinced ourselves of its completely satisfactory results when used in fire-arms loaded with ball. " DR. HARTIG, " Counsellor of Woods and Forests, " A. VON SCHWARTZKOPPEN, " Chief Ranger. " Brunswick, Oct. 5." SIR CHARLES NAPIER, K.C.B.—This gallant and distinguished naval officer, it is rumoured, will be ap pointed Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's Dock yard, Woolwich, in place of Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., who will not return to this establishment to resume his official duties, to which he was succeeded pro tern. by Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., since appointed a junior Lord of the Admiralty. NEW FULMINATING MATTER.—The Messager states, that " a trial of a fulminating matter having all the appearance of cotton and wadding, and which the in • ventor, M. Morel, a mechanical engineer at Paris, desig- , nates under the name of fulminating cotton, has lately been made in presence of General Gourgaud, President of the Committee of Artillery; Colonel Piobert, member of the Academy of Sciences, and several other officers. M. Morel announced that he had during a long time been occupied with his invention, and that he had taken out a patent for the preparation of the composition which he submitted to trial. For this purpose he pre sented a box of cartridges ready prepared for small arms. Burned on the hand it causes no sensible pain, leaves no stain, and produces no smoke. Dipped in water and pressed, and afterwards dried between two leaves of blotting paper, it preserves its fulminating properties. General Gourgaud fired a charge of fulminating cotton from an ordinary fowling-piece, at a dis tance of 40 yards from the object at which he aimed. He fired a holster pistol at a distance . of 25 yards, and a pocket pistol at a distance of 10 yards. At 40 yards a ball from the fowling-piece traversed a plank of beech of 0'35 centimetres thickness; at 25 yards the ball from the holster pistol lodged in the plank with out perforating it ; the ball from the pocket pistol made the same impression on the p l a nk as that which might have been produced by a charg e of ordinary gunpowder. The charge of fulminating cotton leav , s scarcely any residue in the barrel. T he recoil of the gun is extremely . slight, and the report is not loader than that of a large detonating cap. We cannot calculate on the effect which may hereafter be produced by the discovery of M. Morel. He has promised to prepare a quantity of fulminating cotton suffisient to make experiments with cannon. The effect already produced appears to coincide with those attributed by the English jouruals to the cotton powder of M. Schccnbein. M. Chodsko, a Polish refugee, like wise presented a fulminating substance, which has the appearence of cotton, and which was tried with an artil lery musketoon, fired at 40 yards. ' The ball produced the same effect as that fired by fulminating cotton, but it left a considerable deposit its the barrel. The cotton powder of M. Chodsko was compressed into a wadding, in order to charge the gun, whilst the fulminating cotton was not. Both materials ignite by th e bl ow o f a ham msr on an anvil, but not by the blow of a hammer on wood." OA 6. 14 !, 4_ • e,. t. 0 rA A WOMAN KILLED BY limittgaVclSAVN Hus B A ND. BnimisenA3r, THURSDAY EVENING.—An inquest was - held this afternoon tlt the .;S.iinorva Tavern, Queen-street, on the bo - ly of a woman, named Keefe, who died from injuries she r( ceived from her husband. At four o'clock the jury asst mbled, and, having viewed the body, they returned to the jury room, where the husband of the deceased was brought up in custody before them. The CORONER, before going into the investigation, addressed theprisoner, and told him he was not bound to say anything whatever calculated to criminate him self, but if he wished to make any statement it would be reduced to writing. . The prisoner then said he wished to state how the unfortunate affair happened. He then proceeded with the following detail of wretchedness and impropriety of conduct which too, frequently characterises many of our v%orking population : " My Lame is Dennis Keefe, and I live at No. 9, Court, C.lmore-strect, and am a button-turner by trade. The deceased was my wife, about thirty-,even years of age, and the mother of six children, and I have been married to her sixteen years. On Saturday night I and my wife went to mail:et, slid we had two glasses of gin. We came home and had two pints of ale and our supper, and went to bad. On Sunday morning decfased,commenced drinking. I think it was gin she had, but I noticed her drunk at dinner time. After dinner I went tq lie on the ked, and h-ft her drinking. At tea-time, I, my sister, and the deceased, Lad a quartern of rum be tween us. On the same evening I took my sister home, and on my return I found di ceased much more di unk. I remonstrated with her, and asked her if she did not know when she had enough? to which deceased only gave me a coarse answer. She went out, and came home in about an hour after. On Monday I went to my work, tiEd when I came to my dinner I saw her intoxicated. I took no dinner, but returned to my work till four o'clock, and then went and had some ale till about severs o'clock, and then I went to my club, discharged my business there, and I arrived home about eleven o'clock, but she was not at home. I called my little lad, and told him to put his things on and go and see where his mother was, and deceased came in directly after, bring ing with her half a pint of ale. She was then drunk. She tumbled into bed just as she was, leaving the candle lighted and the beer on the table. On Tuesday morning she got up, and I saw her take a black waistcoat and her old shawl. What in the name of God, she wanted with them I did not know. (The prisoner here became much affected.) She speedily returned with a quartern of gin and placed it on the table. I asked her if she was going to begin drinking again. I knew if I left the gin with her she would get drunk, so I took about half of it, and went to work, leaving her in the house. On my return I found her sitting at the fire, drunk, and no dinner for either me or my children. I recollected there was a basin of broth lying on the bob, which had been left from the -preceding day, which I divided with the children and took a mouthful myself. I went to work, and returned about a quarter-past seven o'clock, and I found her drunk with a child in her lap. I saw the child likely to fall, so I told my little niece, Ann Clark, to take (be child from the mother and put him to bed, but the de ceased would not give the child to the girl, so I took him from her and sent him to bed. I then laid hold of my wife by the wrists and waist, and pushed her towards the stairs, and succeeded in getting her up; at the same time she blackguarded me very much, and called me every bad name she could think cf. I told her to go to bed, but in a short time she came down stairs again and began to abuse me. I then took her in my arms, and tried to get her up .stairs again. I got her a few steps up, when she became very violent; but I got her up, and she again came down. When I saw her coming down the third time, I was having my supper, and ran up. She either fell suddenly, or pitehed herself to wards the bed, when my foot came i n contact with her. Whether I kicked her or not, I do not know, God only knows. I felt my foot hit against some part of her; but it was dark, and I came down stairs again. I must have stumbled against her in my hurry. I sent Ann Clark up stairs with the child, and she ran down and said her aunt was a bleeding. I immediately thought she had run her head against the bed-post. I ran and fetched a neighbour, who advised me to send for some medical gentleman; which I did. Two doctors came, and did what they could for her; and I stopped till she expired, about nine o'clock. I then went and gave you (the coroner) notice of the affair; came back and surrenderd myself to the police. I have suffered much this last six years. I never intended to hurt my wife in the least. It would be the very remotest thing I should think of. I did not know that I kicked her." Alice Gibbs deposed that she resided in the next house to that where deceased lived. I could not hear shat passed in their house. I know deceased was tipsy on Sunday and Monday, and very drunk on Tuesday. I was called into the deceased's house by her husband, about half-past seven o'clock, who said, " Come in, Mrs. Gibbs, to my wife, for I think I have killed her. , I gave her a kick with my foot." I then went into his house, when I found the deceased standing up in the bed-room. I saw a quantity of blood on the floor. Her husband was present. She said her husband kicked her as she was getting under the bed; and directly after she said, " Mrs. Gibbs, he has killed me. What will my little James do?" She (the deceased) then showed me where her husband had kicked her iu the abdomen. I placed deceased in a chair, and her husband asked me who he should fetch. He suemedgrieved, and most anxious to do all he could for her. I recommended him to send for the wo man who attended his wife at her lust confinement, and he' did so, and he went away fur ILA purpose, but on his return she was dead. '1 hree n.edical gentlemen came, but she died ten minutes after their arrival. Cross-examined—When he called me to go to his wife, I thought from his appearance and his conduct that he did not intend to kick her, and if he did kick her it was by accident. Ann Clark examined— I live in Weaman•street, and D3nnis Keefe is my uncle. On Tuesday night last I was at his house. The deceased was very drunk. He got her up stairs twice, but she came down half way a third time, and commenced abusing him, when be ran up after her, and I heard her cry. He came down stairs and took a chair to have his supper, and I went up stairs to put the child to bed, when I saw the room covered with blood, and I ran down and told my uncle, who mediately went up stairs again. The jury left sitting. THE MURDER in SPITALFIELDS. Yesterday W. Baker, Esq., resumed and concluded an adjourned inquiry on the body of Daniel Crawley, who was stabbed by Ann Sinner, alias Ruffy, in a cook-shop, kept by her in Flower and Dean-street. George King, 27 H, stated that on the night in ques tion, Oct. 3, the woman Sinner and her landlady had a violent quarrel, and about ten Minutes afterwards the deceased went into the shop, and in a few minutes came out, crying " I'm stabbed to the heart." He had his hands over the wound, and the blood was oozing from between his fingers, and on being taken into the shop said Huffy had done it. When the woman was charged at the station-house, she said her landlady had the man to break open her place; and when before the magistrate said he had taken indecent liberties with her. Mr. Wordsworth, house surgeon, at the London Hos pital, deposed to having seen the deceased while alive, and that a post mortem examination proved that the blow must have been given with great force; two of the car tilages of the ribs were divided, and the pericardium, or heart-bag, was penetrated, from inflammation of which the deceased died a week after his admission. Mr. Holman, dresser of the above hospital, corrobo rated the evidence of the former witness. Mr. BAKER then summed up the evidence, and pointed out the difference between murder and manslaughter ; after which the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Anne Sinner alias Ruffy," and the wit nesses were bound over to appear at the next sessions to prosecute. A special naval court-martial, held at Brest on the Sth instant, under the presidency of Admiral Leblanc, the Maritime Prefect, condemned to death a convict named Yoret, for the murder of another convict, and attempts to murder two others. He confessed his crimes to the court, and declared that he committed them in revenge for the three men having given information against him to the chief officers of the hulks on various occcasions, and particularly on two escapes he had made —one in 1842, and the other in 1845 MURDER IN CORNWALL.—A brutal murder has been committed on a man named Samuel Hockin, a cooper, at St. Mabyn, in Cornwall. He was found on Saturday morning last, lying in the road near St. Mabyu, and on being lifted up, breathed once, and immediately expired. Upon being examined, it was discovered that he had been struck on the back part of the head by a heavy instrument, which had broken the skull, so that the brain protruded. Suspicion fell upon a woman named Ann Treverton, with whom the deceased bad co habited; and she has been taken into custody. A large stone has been discovered near where the deceased was found. An inquest was held on the body, before Josepk Ilambly, Esq., coroner, on Saturday last, adjourned till Tuesdr.
