An imago of the Virgi n, rll E SUN,' ~: worshipped since that time by the name of " Notre Dame de la Victoire," attracted thousands of persons who had come on pilgrimage from the surrounding country. 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 female saints of Paradise, the patriarchs, Ste. All were bt:autifully dressed, and some with the most dezzling magnificence. The young ladies represented the Queen of Heaven under the various titles 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 attire, 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 certain distances on the whole line by which it was to pass, so that perfect order was maintained. AUSTRIA MERAM, OCT. 6.—His 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, o hich he traversed for the most part on foot, and by his cheerful condescension gained the hearts of all who ap proached him. His Majesty was so much delighted with Passer that it is probable that he will make a longer stay on some future occasion. Ills MNjesty left Meram yesterday, and proceeded across the btilterjoch to Como, from which place he will return, without much delay in Switzerland, to his own dominions. STUTGARD, OCT. 9.—The Grand Duke Constantine departed for Russia at an early hour this morning, after a stay of sixteen days. DRESDEN, : OCT. :2. According to a Nuremberg 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 e:timate 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. Tho workmen employed on the bridges in the valleys of Detach and Ester, 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 summoned, to deliberate upon this point. 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. Planche. The scene is laid at an ordinary, in Spring-gardens, some time towards the latter end of the seventeenth century. Sc,,rettp, (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 view 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. H. Roll), 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 spat-in - writs, where are divers fine articles of dress prepared for his fiancée, the Lady Clarissa (whom he has not seen), the niece of the Lord Keeper. The Lady Cla rissa (Mrs. L. S. Buckingham), has heard of the roué character of Lord Courtington, and knowing :hat Seoreup's ordinary is one of his haunts, determine; ;0 go there in disguise, in order to see him as he really s. The Lady Clarissa herself is in love with Sir Ar- thur Lovel 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 informs 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 endea vours ;to arouse her .jealousy against Scoreup. Most opportunely for his plans, the Lady Clarissa, disguised as a domestic, enters, and says she is Scoreup's cou sin sent for by him to keep his house, in the absence of his wife. She 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 dine with Courtington, masked. Scoreup 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, havin g previously taken the precau tion of locking up Mrs.Seorcup 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 he (Lightfoot) saw Mrs. Scoreup emerge from a Brentford stage and throw her arms round the neck of a Major of Dragoons His jealousy is aroused, and he com mits all sorts ol mistakes in serving the dinner—the dinner for four, for Sir Arthur Lovell tells Courtington that he too has an assignation with the fair damsel, when Courtington has already seen them, and the dinner is served ts up to Courtington and Sir A. Lovell, and Cla• Sccs)raeuapndfanlelierss.oSneceoroerupt,wtiheee thattwo t l h a e st . bAeg masked. familiar with him, a his wife. He is orderednd Duchess very a o t u le t n o g f th th r e e r c o o o g m n? b es ut t d h e e te v r o m it; n e e o , f , nevertheless, to watch ; and, accordingly, his head strap-door, and he is witness to the orgies; emerges from he hears his wife defend him against the libels and insinuations of Lord C ourt i ngton, 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. Lady Clarissa 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 bon ma, and his servant Lightfoot is ejected at - the point of the spit by Scoreup. 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. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—Her Majesty, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse, and attended by the Countess of Gainsborough (Lady in Waiting), the Baroness de Scheel (Lady in Waiting on the Prin cess), the Maids of Honour in Waiting, and Colonel Buckley (Equerry in Waiting), visited St. George's Chapel this morning.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—The long-pending ques tion in the Reform Association as to the nomination of Mr. Bright, at the next election for this borough, was settled yesterday. W. R. Callend er , Esq., was in the chair, and a motian was made by Alderman Kershaw, seconded by Alderman . Burd, " that Mr. John Bright be requested to allow . himself to . be put in nomination at the next general election for this borough." upon Mr. was carried with only two dissentients. A deputation was then appointed to. wait Bright, and the resolution appointing it provided " that in the event of Mr. Bright's accepting the invita 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, yesttrday,- soliciting an• interview this day at the League Rooms, Manelirsfer. The messenger, however, did not succeed in meeting with the Honourable Gentle man, and at the meeting of the deputation this mo rnin g a messenger was dispatched with a letter to the Honour able Gentleman, announcing the resolution which had been come to. Mr. Bright is expected to be in Manchester, to meet the deputation this evening at five 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 mile 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 claen of hundreds of anxious spectator:). _LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTorvER l6, 1846.

George Saxby Pen fold, D.D. Rector of Trinity Church, Marylebone, which event too k place 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 9431. 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 BRIGHTON.—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 for 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 that places of sound educa tion should be multiplied in our land; that the advan tages of the old public schools should be retained and ren iered more accessible, while their defects are avoided; and that the principles of an intelligent piety, and en lightened attaehnnent to the ,Church of England, should be more intimately and cordially blendecniith the gene ral plan of education. It seems scarcely possible to name a locality better adapted for such a design than Brighton, from its increasing population, residents as well as occasional, and from its acknowledged healthi ness. The names which stand at the head of the insti tution, and the high character and classical and Enathe matical attainments of its Principal and Vice-Principal are a guarantee to the public that it will fulfil what it professes. DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.—Her Majesty's frigate Phaeton, 50 guns, and Termagant steam-frigate, are ordered to be completed with all possible expedition, and for that purpose all the hands employed upon the Eu phrates, Archer, and Partheon, have been drawn off la rimed upon the two Aretillialed 'mob. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PIPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The sententious proclamations of the tele graphs have at length struggled through the heavy and ominous clouds which interposed themselves between Madrid 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. Suet tanti. It is worth a little discredit and some disturbance to have another chance of level ling the Pyrenees an d d ou bli ng t h e d ynasty o f Or l eans. 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 inisfortuee augured from the boding incidents of a solemnity which should have made the year a jubilee. The Spanish Queen and her sister should have been dowered with the hearts of their people; not a voice should have been heard but that of favour, and note coun tenance seen but that 44 joy ; liberated captives should have marked 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 rum , urs of violence and symptoms of fraud, has been terminated by an abrupt and unblessed alliance. 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, through a crowd whose most friendly feeling was indifference, and whose most innocent senti ment was inquisitiveness. No sound of welcome saluted his ears 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 cation ; the marriage of a Princess has be en 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 %sodding 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 is 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; yet 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 Charles and Ferdinand continued their unbecoming quarrels, 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. Napoleon 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. cloned 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 arnbi- Lion 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 influenaas as well as the human body. Fully appears to be as catching as the measles—any one gen tleman who may be insane 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 udder 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 Nicolai, the Italian bookseller, the bleedir b ee had 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 in a short 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 shop/men of the metropolis are to be fed and philoso phised at cost price. They 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 lust, the mind is to be feasted with the body. A professor of hydrostatics is to come in with the soup—a lecture on ichthyology 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 stultitia of all, however, is a project for the construction of a series of social Chatehux en Espagne, given in a paragraph now going the circuit of the papers, and the first stone of which appears to have been laid 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 George 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, w e might live to see accm ro o w da s t o io f n me o a f n th d e we m ll i i d n d g l s e , pwahl classes, i a c c h es l e ien p r r se e tce s ta s edd t the interminablespirits p the i r i accommodation ts o f all who behold them. The system would also be most advantageous in preventing the inconvenient extension of the metropolis.' So that " those interminable rows 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 never expe rienced that " depression of spirits" which the aerial builder mentions, are, we suppose, to be horizontally condensed, and perpendicularly elongated, until they arrive at the altitude of the brace of stucco Mont Blanes which flank the Albert entrance to Hyde -park, and which are of course, to the aerial builder, so much more inspiriting to behold, and must be so healthy to ascend. This arrangement certainly might have the effect of " stopping the inconvenient extension of the metropolis" spoken of ; but though it might prevent London from growing a Daniel Lambert in bulk, we fear that 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 en' ertained of Lord Lyndhurst. 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 (fleets 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 usages and customs of the twelfth and thirteenth,— cr more stoutly maintained the propriety and necessity of Lord Broug ham's efforts to open the Common Pleas, than Lord 143 ndhurst,—yet such was the uncontrollable laziness of his nature—such his insoucient and careless character— that he never made for five long years the slightest effort to repair a state of things which was operating alike to the injury of the Bar and Bench, and—what 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 Westminster the Privileges of Sergeants-at-law in the Court of Common 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 extenso, in order that its provisioni 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 tame 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 Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, 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 shall be lawful for the jus tices of the said court, or any three of them, of whom the Lord Chief Justice of the said court shall be one, to make rules and orders, and to do all other things neces sary for giving effect to this enactment." 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 judges , --in her Majesty's dominions could effectually get through, so as to leave no arrears at the end of the terms, 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 th e f ac t th a t 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, too, have brought in their train (we mean no pun) a new, distinct, and very fruitful class of cases, altogether unknown to the old law; and unless each one of the three courts of common law performs 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 practise 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' couuters, 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 case of the sergeants-at-law, and who aspirated at a Lord Mayor's dinner a fervent wish 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 sergeant 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 mala —from the beginning to the ending—by the same 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 bad not led at the trial, either at Liverpool—or Exeter—or Stafford—or Bury—or 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 Thomas 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, 'anti 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 preface to the Eighth Report, and in his First Institute, that the Common Pleas existed as a _distinct court before the Conquest, and was not created by Magna Charts. To such pre-admite 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— es well as in all the other courts—vainer still to urge the spirit and exigencies and requirements 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—but by the Act 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 Cottenham 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. ADVIIRTISER.—The meeting held at Manchester on Tuesday last, for the purpose of memorialising Go 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 one 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 mo ment's reflection on the matter, they cannot fail to arrive at a right conclusion. That which excites is, our amaze ment to the hi g h es t pitch, in connexion with the pre vailing alarm an d 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 universally felt. If ever a Minister's course was clear, if ever his duty was plain, Lord John Russ e ll' s was so in reference to the unbarring of oar ports to the admission of foreign corn, duty free, whenever it was seen that the potato crop 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 re f usa l to open t h e ports at suc h 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 coinpreher.d. 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 takes 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 high prices of food. D we absolve from blame those wh o m a y b e th e 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 he has refused to adopt a course which would have had the effect of miti gating the evils which have 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, some 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 act, 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 lion. Gentleman, that the reason of his resignation, in November last, wa s because he could not induce his colleagues to concur in the propriety of then opening the ports. CUSTOMS.— Charles Sholl, t sq., late Comptroller at the port of Lancaster, is appointed Comptroller of toe port 9f Willni9utli, in the place of Mr. Ilearle, resigned, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Commodore Sir Francis Collier's red broad pendant still flies from the mainmast 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 Woolwich," as stated by two " oracles" this morning, being false. Captain Stephen Lushington (1829), of the Retribution steam-frigate, is appoint e d t o comman d 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 be 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 Excellent, and Royal Naval College, to study and practice steam in), being too small for the comfortable accommodation of the numerous parties of ladies and gentlemen who ,so frequently avail themselves of her servi ces i n the summer to tuko a pic nic to the Isle of Wight or elsewhere. Captain Lushington returned from the Admiralty this afternoon. The Wasp, 16, Commander Ussher, sailed this morn ing at daylight for Sheerness, to be paid off. Lieutenant Oldmixon (1815), First of the Styx steam sloop, 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 Dke, 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 bad 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 anchorage here during the late heavy gales. The Buckinghamshire, Capt. Al`Gregor, 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 lion. East India Company's steam frigate, Mooeuffer, for Ben gal ; her Majesty's troop ship, Athol, for Bermuda and Barbadoes ; 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 Soun, 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 lleadman'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, whilst 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 sixty; 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 bad 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. Dr. Otto, Profeszor of Chymistry in Brunswick, has published the following statement in the lianaverian Gazette : " Entirely independent of Schcenbein and Thottger, but relying on an observation of Pelouze, contained in the 136th pare of the first volume of my Manual ( f Clrymi.stry, 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, therefore, to sell or take out a 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. lIARTIG, " 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 tem. 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. Ile 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 plank as that which mi g ht have been produced by a charge of ordinary gunpowder. The charge of fulminating cotton leaves scarcely any residue in the barrel. n Theo tlouderrecoil of than that of a l the gun unis extremely ge slight, and thereport detonating cap. We cannot calculate on the effect which may hereafter be produced by the discovery of M. Morel. lie has promised to prepare a quantity of fulminating cotton suffitient to make experiments with cannon. The effect already produced appears to coincide with those attributed by the English journals to the cotton powder of M. Schmabein. M. Chodsko, a Polish refugee, like- SC presented a fulminating substance, which has the appearance 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 in 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 the blow of a ham mer on an anvil, but not by the blow of a hammer on /NW." A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND. BIRNINGHAN, THURSDAY EVENING.—An inquest was held this afternoon at the Minerva Tavern, Queen -street, on the body of a wcman, named Keefe, who died from injuries she received from her husband. At four o'clock the jury assembled, 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 the prisoner, 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 ho wished to state bow the unfortunate affair happened. He then proceeded with the following detail of wretchedness and impropriety of conduct which too frequently characterises many of our working population : " My name is Dennis Keefe, and I live at No. 9, Court, Colmore-street, and cm a button-turner by trade. The deceased was my wife, about thirty-seven 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 market, and we had two glasses of gin. We came home and had two pints of ale and our supper, and went to bed. On Sunday morning deceased comm ence d drinking. I thi n k i t was gin s he had, but I noticed her drunk at dinner-time. After dinner I went to lie on the bed, and left her drinking. At tea-time, I, my sister, and the deceased, had a quartern of rum be tween us. On the same evening I took my sister home, and on my return I found (het ased much more drunk. 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 alter. On Monday I went to my work. and 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 seven 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 qua/ tern of gin and placed it on the table. I asked her if she was going to begin drinking again. I knew if I lett 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 sluing at the fire, drunk, and no dinner for either me or my children. I recollected there was a basin of broth lying on the hcb, 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 the 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 ta 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 pitched herself to wards the bed, when my foot came in contact with her. ' Whether I kicked lux 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 expir e d,( t lie about nine o'clock. could I for her;thaenn weal dlstop a p n e d d till ga v s e he you coroner) notice of the affair; came back and surrend er d they 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;e sided in the next house to that where deceased lived. I could not hear what 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 in the abdomen. I placed deceased in a chair, and her husband asked me who he should fetch. He seemed grieved, and most anxious to do all hecould for her. I recommended him to send for the wo man who attended his wife ut her lust confinement, and he did so, and he went away for that purpose, but on his return she was dead. Three medical gentlemen came, but she died trn minutes after their arrival. Cross-examiued—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 be did kick her it was by accident. _ Ann Clerk examined I live in Weaman-street, and Dennis 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 he 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 im• 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 11, 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, lit the London Hos pital, deposed to having seen the deceased while alive, and that a postmortem examination proved that the blow must have been given with great force; two of the car- tilages of the rigs 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. BARER 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 Bth 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 1843 MURDER IN CORN WA LL.—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. Mabyn, 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 had 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 Joseph Ilambly, li,:sq., coroner, on Saturday last, which was adjourned till Tuesday. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRA PH AG AIN.—BIRMING - HAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—At six o'clock this evening, owing to a communication received at the office of the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company, by means of the electric telegraph, that it was supposed a ~t hat young woman, named Mary An s n um Ti o pfi m ng o , n h e a , , had andleft her home, taking with he r a lar g e it was expected th at she had come to Birmingham, in company namedl\r i l i l i t m station,l)avenP.;.,rt, a mes senger was ith a dispatched lvan n to natur e of the information r ece iv ed , and Inspector Glos sop,. o f the detective police force, proceeded to the with the police station, and succeeded in apprehending the fugitive, to gether with her companion, a man named William Davenport, who, it stated, has been engaged latterly as a police officer at Tutbury, in Staffordshire, near to the spot where Mrs. Tipping resided. When appre hended Davenport had in his possession the sum of 1651., which he stated, on being taken into custody, were the savings of some years, but from the fact of the turn cor responding with the amount lost, both parties were locked op, and will be brought up for exam . ma it . on to-morrow morning. ..._.. . SALE — OF A RENTER'S SHARE IN DRURY-LAND TllEATRE.—Yesterday a 5001. renter's share in the Theatre Royal Drury-lane was sold by public auction at the Mart, by Mr. E. Robins. The share originally entitled the holder to 2s. 6d. per night, but which has since been reduced to is. 3d. per night and a free ad mision admitting on all occasions. A gentleman made an offer of 40 guineas. '1 he auctioneer said that for merly the same shares never fetched less than from 230 to 300 guineas. After some competition the share was knocked down for 61 guineas to a gentleman named Burgess. General Nectudorff and suite arrived in London on Wednesday evening, by the General Steam Naviga pany's steam-ship Soho, from Oztend. tion Com
