CREMORNE GAL DENS. The advanced season of the year, bringing with it as it does cold and damp evenings, and the rapidly increasing shortness of the days, have at length put a atop to out-door amusements. The season at Cremorne for the summer of 1852 may, therefore, be considered as closed. After the great and successful efforts put forth last year, under the stimulus of the Great Exhi bition, it might have been thought a task of no ordi nary difficulty to maintain even the attractions of the previous season, much more to surpass them by the introduction of new and diversified amusements. The success of last year, however, has, it appears, only proved an incentive to renewed exertions on the part of the proprietor, which were evinced at the opening of the present season by the additional development of the natural and artificial beauties of the grounds, us well as by the numerous additions to the floral attractions, fountains, vases, statues, and other sculptured embellishments. Neither has the ma nagement, in other respects, disappointed the expec tations thus held out. The excellence of the Cremorne band is well known. The careful selections and well-adapted compositions of Bosiaio, who has admirably presided over this department, deserve special communication. Of the theatrical amusements, the new Spanish ballet, Le Barbier de Cadiz, may be said to have enjoyed the preference of the public, from the richness of its comic humour and the variety of incident which it presented, although the splendour of the scenery in Azurine will not readily be for gotten, any more than the excellent dancing of Milano and the Cushnies will be easily excelled. In the selection of performers for the Cirque the greatest talent available was obtained, and the crowds of visitors who nightly presented themselves proved that there was nothing to be &Lind fault with or wanting in this branch. A highly interesting variation in the evening's amusements has throughout the season been found in the Kafir exhibition, comprising two men, with a female and a child. To attempt a description of the numerous brilliant fetes which have taken place during the past summer is needless. The marked success which has attended those held in aid of the various metropolitan charitable institutions fur nishes the best proof that nowhere are there more ample resources and opportunities afforded for re plenishing funds and recreating friends than at Cremorne. The spectacle of balloons has been rendered more important this year than they have ever before been by the engagement of M. Poitevin, he having produced the largest and best-constructed balloon in the world. Although the introduction of animals was a mistake, it was quite evident that the selection of the first aero naut of the day gratified thousands of first-class visi tors, and realised that which had only been previously attempted in England, his intrepid wife having effected four parachute descents in perfect safety. A new fea ture (for Cremorne) remains to be noticed, and one that in its arrangements and carrying out reflected as much credit upon the management as it afforded plea sure to Mr. Simpson's numerous friends—we allude to the bal masque for his benefit, which we must re gret had not taken place earlier, as it was acknow ledged to be the only drawback to a fete which was vastly superior to anything of the kind lately pre sented to the public. In taking our leave of Mr. Simpson and his popular property for the recess, we feel most happy to be able to congratulate him upon an annually increasing amount of distinguished patronage, a patronage which is bestowed, because deserved, and which we feel convinced will continue to increase so long as libe rality and punctuality are the marked characteristics of Cremorne. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.---.THE VACANT B IBROPRIC.—The Mail of this evening says, there is reason to believe that the doubt that has existed since the death of the late Bishop of Meath as to who should be his successor has been terminated in favour of Dr. Singer, Regius Professor, and Archdeacon of Raphoe. A letter from Limerick, dated last night, states that a respectable farmer was brutally murdered on the pre vious evening. The victim's name was Shine, a tenant of the Earl of Dunraven. The unfortunate man's only crime was that ho had the temerity to take some land on the adjoining estate of the Rev. William Waller, from which some people (supposed to be implicated in the present brutal murder) had been removed. Seven persona have been arrested on suspicion of being impli cated in the foul deed. PEDESTRIANISM. GREAT TEN-MILE RUNNING-MATCH FOR T HE CHAMPIONSHIP AND 100/. This great match, between W.

SUN, THE THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. At a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce at Bordeaux. to the PRESIDENT, on Saturday evening, Louis NAPOLEON made a speech, which is described by the telegraphic dispatch as an explanation of his policy of peace abroad, and of moral order and vise progress at home. The speech created a great sensation. In his discourse at Bordeaux, the PRINCE PRESI DENT, alluding to the Empire, said—" There is, however, an appreh ens i on wh i ch I must answer to. Certain persons say, the Empire is war; I say the Empire is peace, for France wishes it, and when France is sati s fi e d t h e world is quiet. " The followin g i s t h e l atest telegraphic dispatch re ceived by the Government : " AngoulC!mp, Oet. 10, Three in the Afternoon. " His Highness has made a triumphal entry into Angouleme. The whole way from Bordeaux was an ovation. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the populations. Th e i n h a bi tants o f t h e coun t ry dis tricts, to the number of more than 80,000, pressed on the line of the corUge, which was greeted with the most ardent acclamations. At the door of the Cathedral the Bishop, at th e h ea d o f hi s c l ergy , feli c i ta t e d th e Prince, who replied with the gre at est kindness. The Prince's health is excellent." The Mayor of Sevres, near Paris, has put forward the following proclamation : " Town of Sevres—Proclamation of the Empire— ' Inhabitants,—Paris, the heart of France, acclaimed on the 10th May for its Emperor him whose di v i ne mission is every day revealed in such a striking and dazzling manner. At this moment it is the whole of France elec. trifled which salutes her saviour, the elect of God, by this new title which clothes him with sovereign power, God wills it,' is repeated with one voice; vox populi, vax Dei. It is the marriage of France with the envoy of God which is contracted in the face of the universe, under the auspices of all the constituted bodies, and of all the people. That union is sanctified by all the ministers of religion, and by all the Princes of the Church. These addresses, these petitions, and these speeches, which are at this moment being exchanged between the Chief of the State and France are the documents connected with that holy union ; every one wishes to sign them, as at the church he would sign the marriage deed at which be is present. Inha bitants of Sevres, as the interpretor of your sentiments, I have prepared the deed which makes you take part in this great national movement. Two books are opened at the Maire to receive your signatures; one of them will be offered in your presence to him whom I from this day designate under the title of Emperor. Let us hope that he will deign to accede to the supplications which I shall address to him in your name, to return to the Palace of St. Cloud through our territory, by the Gate of Honour which we possess. The other book, which I shall pre sent for the signature of the Prince, will remain in your archives as a happy souvenir of this memorable epoch. Let all the population, without distinction, come, there fore, and sign this document; it sets forth that which is in your heart and in your will." The document is as follows : " Proclamation of the Empire,—The town of Sevres, obeying the power of its sentiments of affection and of gratitude for Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the envoy of God and the elect of France, her Saviour, and her glory, proclaims him Emperor of the French, under the name of Napoleon 111., and confers on him and on his descendants hereditary rights. " Done at Sevres on the 7th October, in the year of grace and resurrection, 1852. (Signed) MENAGEII, Mayor." Rear-Admiral BEARD died at Toulon on the 7th, in his 56th year, after a long illness. Orders have been given for the Gomer steamer, and the Heron, and the Narval, to leave Toulon for the Levant. The Presse states that M. TRIERS is about to leave Paris for England.

The Legislative Assembly of Frankfort met on the Bth, and passed the following resolution by a majority of 56 to 6 :—" The Assembly declares to the Senate, that it recognises the force of the law of the 19th October, IU4B, on all points not abolished by the Se nate, on the 31st December, and the law of the 21st February, 1849, and that it regards as legally esta blished the changes introduced into the Constitution in virtue of these laws." The Emperor of AUSTRIA arrived at Pordenone (Lombardy) on the 7th, to be present et the grand cavalry manoeuvres, which are to last until the 12th. On the 4th inst. a man named MERGENER was executed at Magdeburg, in Prussia, for poisoning his father. This is the first execution under the new law in Prussia, which orders that capital punishment shall be inflicted within the walls of a prison in the presence of the authorities and of twelve persons chosen as witnesses. The execution was with the axe, and the whole of the mournful ceremony occu pied fifteen minutes. TUNIS. Advices from Tunis, of the 25th ult., in the Medi terraneo of Genoa, state that the BEY continues in a state of convalescence, and intends naming a Regent to dispatch the pending affairs, which have been ac cumulating for the last four months ; but this will probably not take place until after the festival of the great bairam. Letters from Tripoli, of the 20th ult., in the same paper announce the arrival there of Lica- TAFIIA NOURHI PACHA, the new Turkish Governor • General, and General ACHMET PACHA, appointed to the supreme command of the troops of the Regency in lieu of lIALET PAULI. IZZET PACHA, the late Go vernor, and all his family, embarked on the same day for Constantinople, on board the Ottoman war steamer Muhbiri Surur, which had brought the former personages. SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE. Yesterday morning considerable alarm was created among the inhabitants of blile.end in consequence of the following shocking murder and suicide perpe trated by a female ser van t, name d J ane Collin, aged 17 years, in the service of Mr. Thomas Elliott, a cigar manufacturer, at No. 15, Nelson.street, Cannon street- road. It appears that Collin had been in the service of Mr. Elliott for a considerable time as maid-of-all-work. She seemed kind to the children, two of whom slept with her. Yesterday morning Mrs. Elliott called the infant lying Collin, but after had d eatedly shouting . she went up stairs to see what aor a oss b t e h c e om be e d o s f te h ad er g , u w it h e e d n e s a n d e . found e husband, mother, in sate of distraction, seized the lifeless servant, and discovered body of . child and rushed down stairs to her who itnmediately went in search of the tb: a a pool of blood in the wash-house the spots of razor lying in the centre stairs to the ba li c of the floor. e k n o tracedaptetni blood up or cupboard he found the and in a small lumber hole was dragged out from body the place of his servant. She position, with a severe place in a crouched-up round which she had tied wound in her neck, which was saturated with blooder.y tightly an apron, dead, but Mr. Elliott sent a messenger She seemed to be ton, the surgeon, of the Commercial -road, for Mr. Tayn an examination of the body of the child, who made hibited several severe bruises round the which WC, stomach. He then went to the body of the servant and which presented a sad spectacle, and life had be an nearly tinct about two hours. The c h ild was 'en ex' cold, and had been dead about the same time. It seems, from inquiry made by the police, that the parents of the female (Collin) are respectable persons, living at the east-end of London, and the news of the sad affair much shocked them. They are totally at a loss to account for the deed, which is enveloped in the greatest obscurity at present. The razor belonged to Mr. Elliott, and it must have been taken from a table-drawer in the front parlour, where he usually shaved himself. The wretched female must have beaten the child very much about the head and afterwards have strangled it with an apron, which fact is confirmed by what can be gleaned from the other child, which was in the same bed. She screamed several times at the deceased infant being ill-treated, but her cries for help were not heard by the parents, who slept in the lower part of the house. The Lord Mayor Elect (Alderman Challig, M.P.) has appointed as his chaplain for the year of his mayoralty the Rev. Doctor Mortimer,Bead 11Iaster of the City of London School. - SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXV. THE FIELDS FOR TO•MORROW'S RACES AT NEWMARKET, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sill,—Yesterday's races, with the exception of the match between Pensioner and the Jemima filly, came off in strict accordance with my anticipations. The best race of the day was that between Phrygia and Die media; the former winning, after a desperate struggle from half way up the distance, through sheer gameness, by a head. For the other matches, the Jemima filly —a great pot—defeated the Duke's Pensioner very easily; Glenluce confirmed the truth of her previous running by beating Flirt easily. Maria's allowance of slbs in the race for the 50 sous. stakes enabled her to dispose of Caloric easily enough. By Rosalind, who ought not to have started, broke down early in the race and finished her career upon the Turf. The 50 Sovs. Plate, for two yrs old, first class, was carried off with great ease by Pelion, Pug Orrock being the only one that could get anywhere near him ; and Scandal won the 50 Sove. Plate, second class, in vety clever style, beating, among others, Frenzy and William Rufus. The 50 Sovs. Plate, for three yrs old and upwards, A. F., a sort of trial stake to the great race to•day; was all one way, as Kingston came when his jockey pleased, and won in a canter. Joe Miller was second, Con more third, Ben Nevis a moderate fourth, and Maid stone a bad fifth and last. This race, however, had very little effect on the Cesarewitch betting ; it ;merely advanced Weathergage and Indian Warrior a point each. The betting sent Le Juif back five or six points, and Lady Amyott from twelve to twenties. Lady Evelyn opened firm at seven, and closed at sixes. The Derby betting was only remarkable for the enormous sum betted against Lord Exeter's Filbert-60,0001. to 2,0001. having been booked. This son of Nutwith and Celia— about whom I remarked in my first observations on the Derby of 1853, that he was the best of Lord Exeter's lot for that race—is a fine looking animal, but will, in my opinion, turn out to be a sort of Midas in his racing career. The manner in which they support him for the Clearwell pretty clearly intimates that my first and second horses—Orinoco and Estrella—must be content to fill the second and third places, and leave him the leading one. The list of sport for to-morrow embraces seven races and a match; five of, the ggetinier—namely, The Town Plate, 10 Soya. Stakes, Oatlands Plate, 15 and 10 Soya, Handicaps, will not close and name until this evening. The 50 Soya. Sweepstakes, for two yrs old, Criterion Course, will be contested by four, wtio will probably run in as follows :—NICOTINE, 1 ; colt by Alarm, out of Alkali, 2; colt by Assault, dam by Lanercost, out of the Nun, 3; and filly, by Beiram, out of Amaryllis, 4. Should Nicotine be reserved for the Bedford Stakes, which is more valuable, the Alkali cult will be the winner. The field for the Bedford Stakes will, probably, con sist of Gossip, Vest, Bounty, Vaultress, and Nicotine. Of Ninnyhammer's running I have some doubts, as his name is mixed up with an arrear of forfeits, &c. This said Ninnyhammer is a horse of a superior class, to all appearance, and will accomplish a good thing some of these days. VAULTREBS and Nicotine will probably occupy the first and second places; and Gossip the third. In the Match for 200, Lord Exeter's Mountain Flower, 3 yrs, Bst 71b, with her turn of speed, ought to dispose easily enough of Mr. Payne's War Whoop, 2 yrs, 7st 111 b. Mr. Combe's filly, by Alarm, out of Rosalind, is considered a good thing for the Bretby Stakes. It is expected that only Cheddar, Pharold, Filbert, and Orinoco, will ran for the Prendergast. Mr. Warrener's brown colt, emus, by Pompey. out of Interlude, broke down so badly at Chester, that his racing career may be considered to have terminated there. Lord Zetland's stud for the future is to be located al John Osborne's stables, Middleham, under the care 01 George Abdale. I am, yours, &c. Oct. 12. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHRO NICLE.—We sincerely trust that a case lately decided at the Southwark Police-court, on an im portant point of railway administration, has not been lost upon our readers. We reported the complaint on Wednesday, and the magistrate's decision appeared in our number of Saturday last. The case was this:— The driver of a cab refused to take a fare within the railway terminus at London-bridge, and was summoned by tho proposed hirer. The railway company de fended the cabman on certain special grounds. They first asserted that a railway terminus is not a pub lic street, road, or place, but a private curtilage, we suppose. They next contended that a cab at a railway station ceases to be a public vehicle; and finally, that a cab, under such circum stances, could not be held to be plying for hire. These last averments are, of course, mere pettifogging sur plusage; because, it they can stand at all, they go to the extent of showing that a cab is, pro Mc. vice, not a hackney carriage, but a private car of the directors; while, if it is not plying for hire, any person using it might, at the end of his journey, refuse to pay his fare. In other words, the railway lawyers ask us to believe that a cab is tot a cab, and that vehicles of that description are merely ranged at the stations by generous directors and charitable cabmen in order to carry railway travellers home gratuitously. The insolence of this plea betokens its parentage. A railway official alone could have ventured upon so flagrant an affront to common sense. The points raised, it is needless to say, were dismissed, and, we trust, with indignation, by Mr. A'Beckett. It deserves notice, however, that the rail way company had the unparalleled indiscretion to ven ture on the rubterfuges we have stated in the teeth of the law, which provides that:—" Every hackn ey car riage standing in any . . . place, . . . unles s hi re d , shall be deemed plying for hire;" and which defines a hackney carriage to be, " every c a rri age . standing on hire at any place—i. e., the South- Eastern directors plead that a cab is not a hackney car riage, and that their station is not " a place." This, however, is mere legal chicanery. The plea, however, advanced by the company is of the most formidable de scription, and of the largest hearings. Is or is not a railway station a public place? Can the Queen's writs penetrate Euston-square? Are the metropolitan sta tions sanctuaries or Alsaties, privileged with feudal or canonical rights? How far do their immunities ex tend? Can they shut their gates, which they boast of erecting, and exclude the Queen, her men and horses? Have they received any letters patent which give them monopolies? Are the old days recurring, and have exclusive licences been conferred on these com panies? What is a railway company? Very serious constitutional questions are beginning to be mixed up with railway administration. The Queen's highway is practically extinct. Every British subject who quits his home takes out a licence to travel from a board of directors. This board has created a large trading mono poly. It excludes the public from licensed inns and hotels, and compels us all to eat and drink, at com pany's prices, at company's hostelries. A railway board deals in books, rugs, refreshments, adver tisements, cabs, carriages, post-horses and in every case by a monopoly, They :first take and next sell an exclusive licence to supply the public with the necessaries of travelling, and at their own prices. Station-trading is, no doubt, a public conve nience as it is called, but it is no p u bli c conve nience to be forced to buy our goods at the company's tariff. Sixpence is too much to pay for a cup of bad tea or of worse coffee; and yet such is the extent of railway monopoly that we must either pay this or go without both through a journey of five hundred , miles. When railway Acts were passed, did the Legislature ever contemplate investing the companies with monopolies as odious and as monstrous as ever disgraced a Tudor or a Stuart patent? Once more we ask, what is a railway com pany? Is it a news-agent? or an advertising agent? or a bookseller? —is it a dealer in plaids and fleecy hosiery? or in stale mutton pies and poisonous soup?—or does it invest in cabs and posthorses?—or are railway compa nies public carriers, and are their roads public roads —their stations public stations? lir. A'Beckett's deci sion has settled this latter point. Tho first fair blow at railway ityranny and irresponsible despotism has succeeded. The Catiline of the rail has sufficiently abused public patience. The claim last set up by the companies was perfectly intolerable—they will only permit such hackney carriages as pay for the privilege to enter their stations- With the proprietors of these vehicles they enter into a league to plunder the public. They permit, nay they encourage, the mono polist drivers to make what charges they please ; and the company lays down as its law—in direct contra diction to the statues of the realm—that its cabmen may demand extra fee for luggage, and may refuse a fare when, and for whatever reason, they please. No matter whether the privileged and monopolist ve hicles are foul, dangerous, or rickety, the company en forces its imperious Hobson's choice. The cabs must be hired in euceession—either the next rotten vehicle end blind horse, or none. Nor is it in any single de partment of railway business that this trading monopoly is enforced against the public. The companies claim the right to plaster their walls and carriages with advertisements. Hero is a direct breach of the spirit of the law. What right has a railway to put into its coffers advertisement duty instead of the Government? Why should the second-class passen gers be insulted as they are, by being forced to travel in an advertising van? Why, for ten or twelve hours, are we to be compelled to stare upon the typographic and polychromatic abominations which are stuck up in these " public carriages?" What a total disregard for decency and feeling is displayed by offending our eyes in this scandalous way. Non o/es—wherever a board can turn a penny it will. It acts as a general commission agent— it will take a per tentage on every sale. The company pro claims itself huckster and broker as well as carrier; the boards may, and doubtless will, try to admit only their own tradesmen into their stations; and, by putting an exorbitant rent on the privilege, they force the public to submit to any prices that the patentees choose to demand. We trust that Mr. A'Beckett's decision will introduce some measure of free trade into railway management. The principle now laid down by authority is, that bye laws are for the public convenience, and not morel; for the exclusive trading rights in literature, marine stores, and public vehicles, hitherto claimed by the companies. Certain regulations for the conduct of trade at stations may reasonably be enforced, but these must be for the convenience of travellers, not for the profit of shareholders. If we aro reduced to the condition that we must either travel by rail or not all, the companies must be compelled to furnish such conveniences and facilities for reasonable and necessary trade as an ordi nary public road would afford. Railroad ri g ht s enta il whi a ch certain heisfor t e r e a d de t s o railway duties. It is an invasion of public right t o com pel us, i n a p u bli c p l ace , to deal with man and to pay him a vast profit, charge in order to reimburse himself for the monopoly , which he has purchased from the company. It is some thing, however, to find that the monopoly in cabs is ille gal. We shall probably find that the other monopolies established at the stations are equally illegal. We regret to have to announce the death of Miss Augusta Charlotte Baillie, eldest daughter of Kerr Baillie Hamilton, Esq., the newly-appointed Governor of New foundland. Miss llamilton, we believe, had recently re turned to England for the benefit of her health, from Gre nada, of which island her father was lieutenant-governor; but the best medical skill of the metropolis, assisted by the devotion of attached and affectionate relations, was insuffi cient to arrest the rapid progress of that fatal malady—con sumption. Governor Hamilton arrived in England only just in time to see his beautiful and accomplished daughter alive, for she departed this life on the Bth inst., the very day on which Mr. Hamilton's able and faithful services in the West Indies were rewarded by the publication in the Gazette of his promotion to one of the most important colonial offices under the Crown—the governorship of Newfoundland. IRON Smrs.— As a good deal of attention has lately been given to iron ships it may be interesting to ship owners to know that the iron barque Richard Cobden, now being overhauled in No. 1, Canning Graving Dock, was, on Wednesday last, bored through one of apparently the worst and most corroded plates on her, Mr. W. F. Sim, the manag ing owner, being anxious to ascertain what the actual dimi nution in thickness, would prove after eight years' service between this and the East. The result was that the plate operated upon turned out to be precisely the same thickness that it was when the ship was launched in July, 1844, namely, 9-16ths of an inch on the sixth tier from the keel. The only part of the vessel which, on examination, exhi bited any corrosion, and that only slightly, was the bow, where the anchor and chain had chafed the paint or coating with which the vessel is covered as a preservative, and which appears to perform its office effectmally.— Liverpool The old American firm of Timothy Wiggin and Co. has just been re-constructed in London, Mr. Augustus Wiggin and Mr. F. Boykett, formerly in the Paris house of Welles and Co , having associated themselves as partners. A PLEA FOR THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE TIMES. Sir,—We have had our laugh, and a very hearty one too, at the absurdities uttered by some of the " strong-minded women " at Syracuse —at the extra vagant demands made upon our patience and forbear ance. Perhaps we have felt indignant at the attempt made to overturn the order of nature, and break in upon the relations of social and domestic life ; or we mey have been tempted to round off the whole con troversy with the intuitive argument which once closed a debate epon the subject—" After all, a man is a man, and a woman is a woman." But the in quiry still forces itself upon our attention—is the relation of woman to society in all respects what it ought to be ? Has she no genuine wrongs to com plain of; when we have put aside the question whether ' she should be a mag i s t ra t e an d a police-officer, a iegislator and a gao l er , a genera l and a private sol dier, n merchant on 'Change and a draywoman, a commissioner in bankruptcy and a sheriff's officer ? Single women and widows, holding the proper qualification, have votes for parish officers; why not for members of Parliament ? Why should their pro perty be unrepresent e d? Wh y s h ou l d they have no voice in choosing those who shall make laws for them in common with men ? If they bad the right to vote, and shrunk from its exercise, they need not vote. But they du bolder and more courageous things than it would be to present themselves at the polling-booth continually, and society applauds them for so doing. Clear perception of what is right, and a conscience unflinchingly supporting the decisions of the understanding, are by no means confined to men. I doubt if women would cry cut for the dark secrecy of the ballot-box. If they voted, it would be in the face of day. Give the femme sole the right to vote, and you would at once do justice and infuse a purify ing element into those scenes of bribery, corruption, and intimidation, which are the staple of our Parlia mentary e!ections. But perhaps women are virtually represented in Parliament with the other unenfrauchised members of society; still, have they nothing to complain of in their legal position ? Are the laws set around them as a suffi cient defence ? The unmarried woman and the widow it is true, hold property on precisely the slime tenure as men. So far good. No father, brother, or cousin can despoil them, except with their own con. sent. I speak of property which is theirs by gift or inheritance; it is absolutely theirs, but no longer than they remain single. If they marry, their pro perty becomes absolutely their husband's, or that transfer, by legal right of the husband, is evaded by the interposition of trustees. When the priest has pronounced his blessing, and she and her yet lover are enjoying the sweets of the honeymoon, he pro perty passes as effectually out of her control as if she were already dead. She is lost in the person of her husband, or in those of her trustees. The proceeds of her settlement are nominally to be paid over to her for her sole use and benefit ; but, as soon as they come into her hands, her liege lord may demand that she should deliver up such proceeds to be disposed of at his discretion, or indiscretion, or wor s e. H er settlement is of use only in case of her husband's in solvency, to save them both, with their children, from poverty, or is the rare case of a legal separation. But let us grant, further, that the settlement of a married woman, clumsey expedient as it is to cover the injustice of the law, has its compensating advantages, that by it a woman is to a certain extent defended from the consequences of the unthrift or profligacy , of her husband. Let us grant that a woman's ab sorption in the legal person of her husband makes her and h e r t rus t ee -held property free from liability to his creditors, if she have drawn a worse than blank in the lottery of life, or have recklessly thrown her self away upon the unworthy. Still, what shall we say to the unpropertied woman, the virtuous, indus trious, striving woman of the middle and lower classes, married by fate or folly to an idle, spendthrift, dissipated husband ? And there are such. He will not earn a living for her and her children. Why should he ? Well, then, she will ; and she has not lost all love for the father of her little ones. She re members the days of their courtship, and the first few sweet months of their married life; and she will work for him too, if he will let her. Such is often the prodigal love of woman. But, let her labour, let her deny herself rest, and leisure, and sleep, and everything but what is necessary to keep up her strength for daily duty—let her rejoice and thank God that she has power to gain bread for the mouths that she has brought into existence—when she has toiled, and gathered, and is looking with complacency upon her gains, considering with joy what necessaries and com forts they will purchase for those dearer to her than her life, her husband may come in and sweep off all her hard earnings, leave her and her children penni less, and spend her precious gains upon his idle and selfish vices. She has no legal right to withhold them. She depends altogether upon the energy of her maternal will and the little remains of grace that may yet cling to the debased heart of her lord and master. I need go no further. Whatever absurdities may be spoken about woman's rights, a deep feeling of shame must attend the contemplation of woman's wrongs ; and surely the Times will give its powerful support to the demand that such wrongs should be earnestly considered, and at an early period, with a view to their redress, that it may no longer be the opprobrium of our laws that, being made by the stronger sex, they leave the weaker defenceless just when they have the deepest need of protection and the strongest claims upon our sympathy. Bristol, Oct. 4. E. C. THE SUFFERINGS OF WOMAN. (From the Leader.) "Whatever absurdities may have been spoken about Woman's rights," says " E. C.," a correspondent of the Times, " a deep feeling of shame must attend the contemplation of Woman's wrongs;" and the writer claims the assistance of that journal in exposing the injustice of the law which makes a woman l ose a ll hold over her own property if she be married, or which makes the unproportioned woman, however virtuous, thrifty, and solicitous she may be for her children, see all her earnings swept away to supply the vices of a debauched husband. We are too apt in reading communications of this kind, to let our minds rest only on the ultimate fact, without calling to our perception the misery which is inflicted in the process towards that ultimate fact. We do not dis cern, as we should, the condition of the woman who toils against hope, who carries back in her hand the humble exchange for bread and clothes to her chil dren, who sees them snatched from her by the man that once said he loved her—we do not feel the gloomy uncertainty, the sinking heart, the exasperation, the rage, all rendered vain by the hopelessness —we do not attain to the distinct perception of this scene, happen as it does, to a greater or less extent, in thou sands of houses right about us, every week, every year. - But independently of these civil disabilities, there are certain personal rights which would not last a day after woman should be politically enfranchised, or man should attain to the full sense of the justice which he owes. Occasionally the wrong bursts forth in some flagrant scandal, as in the recent " tragedy" at Paris ; but if such overt tragedies are exceptional, how much less exceptional are the cases which never come before the public eye I Even when they do dis play their horrors, one reels that there is something more. In this Paris case, we hear not the beginning. A man is murdered, and a romance of real life flashes upon the public; but the narrative has not the com pleteness which belongs to fact not less than to fiction. We find two English gentlemen in Paris, with habits of frequent association • one of them, the younger man, has a wife, amiable and engaging; is a child-bed fever the lady declares to her husband that her infant child is not his, but his friend's; the two men meet immediately afterwards, and the hus band kills his rival and flies, and the lady is lodged in a madhouse. That is very frightful, but it is far from being all. There is a practice of bushing up the truth about these matters, though the truth is gene rally better to be known than half the truth with a complement of false inference. One fact is remarkable ; at the desire of the physi cian, the husband bad consented that when his wife became dangerously ill, the friend should be sum moned, and that he should tend her several days and several nights. Surely the moral necessity for such attendance must have suggested to any man of the world enough to prevent that surprise which can alone justify or extenuate the murderous attack. A man who is prepared to take vengeance into his own hand so rigorously, usually courts explanation before events come to suchia pass. But still this is not all. It is perfectly well known in Paris that the intimacy which led to this fatal re sult had been the subject of remark. We do not say these things to aggravate the burden of to exposehefugi tive, but we say them because they tend that barbarous routine in such affairs which makes the point at issue a mere matter of quarrel between two men, without any regard to the interests or feel ings of the woman. She is the helpless plaything of others' passions. The very candour of a mind help lessly alienated by sickness could not disarm the fe rocity of personal pride. What mattered the mortified " honour" of a man, comp are d to the wreck of the woman's reason, life, and affections ? They are made of no account. Nor are we, in the absence of all evidence either way, to presume that the transfer of the woman's of was a mere caprice. Without repeating any of the stories current in the whisper which accompa nies the published reports, we content ourselves with saying that we must not so presume. Was there any reason for the change ? and if so, what was the rea son ? Did it l eave t h e b alance of blame to her or to the "injured " husband ? Was he or she th e more materially injured, th e more outrage d ? T he facts which would be the reply to these questions seldom come out on the post mortem inquiry ; the woman's case is seldom stated, far more seldom made good ; yet assuredly, in the eye of real justice, she should stand on an equality of right with the man. But the discussion of these subjects continues in the Times ; however superficially, the relation of woman to man is discussed in the most public journal of the world ; and the facts will gradually draw discussion beneath the surface. OUR MARITIME RES 0 URCES.-1 VA TIONAL DEFENCE. • We read in a Liverpool journal a few days since an extract from a work of some authority, i n Which it was stated that in 1799 the merchants of Liverpool fitted out 120 privateers, amounting to 31,385 tons, which carried 1,986 guns and 8,754 men. This squadron realised upwards of a million sterling prize money. If Liverpool could do this in 1799, she could doubtless in the present day furnish for defen sive and offensive purposes at least five times the force—one-third of it steam vessels, with 40,000 stalwart fellows to man them. Here then is the reserved naval force of the coun try; but the question is how to make it available in as short a time as a steamer can cross the Channel?— and if these 40,000 men were ready on an emergency,. where are the armaments ? and if the guns were ready, how will the seamen know the way to handle them ? They would do well enough if they could run alongside of the enemy. The same daring and headlong courage and grim determination that irresistibly carried all before them during the war, would tell with the same disastrous results to the foe; but how would they manage with a skilled enemy, who could choose his distance ? They would be in about the same predi cament as men armed with old snips' pistols encoun tering others with the modern hair triggers : with this disadvantage too, that not only would their shot s be random ones, but they would not, as in the late war, be enabled to du any injury by hurling their weapons at their opponents, for the enemy would be out of reach. • There is no doubt that we have both materiel and . personnel to resist the combined attack of the whole world, but for the moment they are comparatively useless. The announcement of hostilities will be a powerful dash, and it cannot be denied that to meet a coup de main we have no ships besides those of the Royal Navy adapted for the service, and no organised force of trained sailors to man the ships if they were everything that could give the country confidence in the protection they would be expected to afford. It is, then, adaptation of vessels and organization of men that are wanted to give security against foreign aggression. To meet these requirements we have two committees, nominated by the Admiralty, at present at work; the first is inquiring into the capability of the merchant steam navy to receive a war equipment; and the second is collecting evidence to guide them in propounding to the Government the best and readiest means of manning the navy. To what extent these committees have proceeded, we know not; but we trust that they have already ar ranged for the Royal Mail Packet steamers to be fitted for the emergencies of war, and that they have obtained the unanimous consent of the seamen be longing to those steamers, to be instructed in the use of great guns and small arms, and that having given the necessary orders to the Ordnance Departments for the supply of the armaments, they are ready to extend their sphere of inquiry at the great ports of the country, with the view of organising defensive squad rons from amongst the hundreds of other steam-ves sels belonging to Great Britain, and of not only ob taining the promises of the seamen to serve in time of need, but of making themselves really efficient and powerful—we may say invincible, by commencing to receive instructions in the use of the great gun and the cutlass. If only one seaman in ten, or even fifteen, were proficient in the gunnery exercise, the seamen of the ports of London and Liverpool alone, as auxiliaries to our Royal fleet, would settle an invasion in a more summary manner than even the Spaniards did the attempt on Cuba by the American fillibusteros.— Herald. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SAILING MATCH BETWEEN THE CELE BRATED AMERICAN YACHT AMERICA AND THE SWEDISH YACHT SVERIGE. COWES, Om 12, 1852.—This match, which is for 1004 a sido, was to have come off on Saturday, at 11 A.M. The Swede was at her post, ready for starting, but the owner of the America objected to sailing as he con sidered that there was not a 7-knot breeze, which being supported by the Secretary of the Royal Yacht Club, the America did not get under weigh; but the Sverige started alone, and reached off to the Nab. Soon after her return the America got under weigh, and they beat down the north shore off Cowes, the America having, we thought, some advantage as she laid nearer the wind. Her sails stand like boards, while the Swede's bag like the English yachts, or nearly as bad. The Sverige re turned to Cowes Roads on Saturday evening. This morning she proceeded again to the starting point, but there not being a 7-knot breeze, she tried her powers with the Wildfire yacht, which the sailor's say sails like a " little devil." The little un had the start, and they proceeded to the westward, the wind being from the northward; with the light breeze blowing she was likely to keep it. The Russian yacht and several schooners of the R.Y.S. are also trying their sailing qualities. The Swedish yacht has returned to her anchorage in our roadstead; to-morrow, at 11, she will be at her post again. when may a stiff breeze attend her. A FLOATING BRIDGE FROM WEST TO EAST COWES. —This long wished-for and highly desirable mode of joi❑ing these two towns is likely soon now to be carried into effect. A company is being formed, engineers are on the spot, traffic takers are busily employed at the ferry, and there is every appearance of the subject being taken up in a business-like manner, and being well sup ported by the inhabitants of Cowes, Ryde, and indeed the island generally.

The Dutch range of coast appears to have experienced the recent Equinoctial gales as severely as our own shores, perhaps more so as regards the number of dis asters and the loss of life and property. The havoc amongst the shipping was most considerable, and of the many vessels wrecked daring the storm was the cele brated Red Rover steamer, which for many years, it may bo remembered, was a favourite passage boat between London, Herne Bay, and Margate. The unfortunate event took place during the height of the gale on Friday night while on her first outward trip to Grongen. The Red Rover some short time back, was purchased off her old station for the purpose of being converted into a screw boat, and to be employed in the Dutch trade, the conveyance of cattle and general merchandise; she under went a thorough overhaul, hull strengthened, paddle boxes removed, new engines put into her, and fitted with the screw propeller. Other alterations and improve ments were made in order to render her a sure sea-boat, and under the command of Mr. Cullam, master, she left the Thames on Wednesday on her first voyage across to the Dutch coast. Scarcely had she got into anything like sea-room before she encountered the gale which has proved so destructive in all directions of the coast. She steamed on in the hope of weathering the storm, and she was reported by two vessels, since arrived, to be making all way to her destination. Friday afternoon, however, brought more fearful weather, which tried the vessel severely; and she was blown ashore on the beach about two miles from Schevengen, and the master and crew, and some persons who had been permitted to take a voyage in her, were saved. On the same night another vessel, called the Sirene, bound to Stettin from Cher bourg, went ashore near the spot where the Red Rover was wrecked, and, melancholy to add, only two out of the ship's crew were saved. In the vicinity of the Dooms dens 50 fishing boats, each containing five men, were out when the storm set in, and out of that number only five had returned when the mail left. The worst fears are entertained for the fate o f th e remainder of the fisher men. --- THE LATE J. C. NEILD, Ese..—The death of Mr. Neild has placed a mass of papers in the hands of his execu tors. lie was in the habit of safely storing the various com munications he received, and also copies of the answers which he sent. From these it is clear that although he was rigidly careful and penurious, he was not without sympathy f or h is fellow men, but that he did at times distribute portions of his great wealth in acts of benevolence and charity. T o the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and the Bucks Infirmary he was a contributor; and, notwithstanding his stern and repulsive mode of receiving personal solicitations, it is known that the deserving needy were, when in distress, often assisted by him. It has been said that the p er sons who found him at North Marston, when he cut h is throat some 25 years since, and but for whose interposition he must have perished, were not rewarded by him. This, it transpires , is incorrect, inas much as in his life - time , t h e family were from time to time ass isted and some of them were by his aid enabl e d t o emi grate.—Oxford Chronicle.

The Japan expedition squadron, consisting of the Mississippi, Princeton, and Allegheny steam frigates, under the command of Commodore C. Ringold, was to sail on the 10th November. Two fishing schooners had arrived at Gloucester from the fishing grounds. They reported several ad ditional warnings by the British cruizers, but no further seizures, except the schooner Caroline Knight, of Newburyport, on the 11 th ult., about ten miles north of Prince Edward's Island. The owners of the Caroline Knight had received a letter from the cap tain, in which he states that there were other vessels inside his at the time of the seizure, and that he had no intention to trespass on forbidden ground. It was estimated that the returns of mackerel this year would fall short at least one-half of the usual average, taking the estimate from the "catch" during the same period last year.

Mr. Thomas Baring was received by the President on the 27th ult. We have brief advices from Buenos Ayres to the 7th of August, at which date hides, both dry and salted, were scarce and high. The Boston Advertiser of September 27th gives the following summary of "'aver Plate intel ligence : " The barque Buck Eye, which arrived here yester day from Buenos Ayres, brings advices from that port to the 7th ult.— a week later than the latest accounts before received. The Progreso of the Gth says that sa tisfactory official communications have been received from all the provinces, giving their assent to the prin ciples which are to serve as the basis of the approaching national organization. The province of Catamarca had at last given in its adhesion, and had distinguished itself for its patriotism and confidence, having ratified the agreement of San Nicholas in all its parts. "On the 20th of August the representatives of all the provinces were to assemble at the capital, Sant a Jecina, to form a General Constituent Congress. The Progreso says that the Congress is the hope of all; its deliberations will be the balsam which will heal for ever the bleeding wounds which tyranny and recent events had opened in the body politic. " The Progreso of August 1 contains the official re cognition by General Urquiza, as Provisional Dictator, of the independence of the Republic of Paraguay, and the conclusion of a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation, by which the free navigation of the rivers Paraguay and Parana is secured to the Republic of La Plata and the Empire of Brazil. This treaty is regarded as an event of great importance. The independence of Paraguay was acknowledged from the 17th of July. " Accounts from Montevideo state that the Oriental Government having sent a Commissioner to the mouth of the river La Plata, to ascertain the most suitable place for the establishment of a lighthouse for the benefit of vessels coming from sea, he had returned, having desig nated the island of Lobos as the point best adapted for the object. " On the 27th of July M. St. George and Sir C. Hotham were received by the Oriental Government and presented their credentials. Sir C. Uotham afterwards sailed in the Vixen for Buenos Ayres with M. St. George, and on the 6th they were presented to General Urquiza. "Tho Progreso says that it has been reported that the Brazilian Government had obtained from the Argentine Government permission for a Brazilian war steamer to enter the Parana river for the purpose of transporting a Minister of the Emperor of Paraguay. The report is contradicted, and it is added that the representatives of Brazil at Buenos Ayres, with whom the Government en tertained the most cordial relations, had no motive for making such a request. "The decree lately issued, admitting flour into Buenos Ayres, has been revoked ." A party of thirty or forty slaves escaped from Kentucky about the 28th ult. They were pursued to Ohio by their owners, who suspecting them to be in a certain house, applied for a warrant to search it, which was refused. Three of the runaways were subsequently captured on the road and taken on their way back. At last accounts the negroes of the neighbourhood had assembled in great numbers with arms, and surrounded the hotel where the parties were stopping. It was feared that disastrous conse quences might ensue, as the slave-owners had ex pressed a determination to have their property at all hazards. Advices from Tampico to the 12th ult. had been received at New Orleans. The Mexican war steamer City of Mexico and the sloop of war Puebla were in the port. The excitement in regard to the usurpa tion by Cardenas of the Governorship of the State of Tamaulipas still continued to exist. A decree had been issued conferring upon the Governor whatever powers might be required to repress the revolutionary spirit exhibited at Tampico and other parts of the State. If the Governor considered it necessary to employ Don Antonio Canales in the matter the ne cessary licences would be conferred upon him. A pronunciamento had been declared as a last resource. An appeal had been made to the General Congress, and the election of Cardenas pronounced null and void. At St. Jago de Cuba another earthquake occurred on the 28th of August. The inhabitants, who were fearfully terrified, had built temporary huts upon the beach. Some of the papers mention that two British officers had been arrested and imprisoned at ilavannah on suspicion of being " filibusters." The British con sul procured their immediate release. SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. Subjoined is the Royal decree, as it has been published in the French papers, regarding the op tion to be given to the holders of Spanish bonds to exchange their present stock for a smaller propor tion of a stock bearing an immediate interest of three per cent. It i s ver y o b scure , an d th e entire way in which the affair has been managed has been exceedingly favourable for the purposes of specu lation :-- "Art. I. The holders of the New Three per Cent. De ferred Stock aro to be allowed to change their bonds at the price fixed by the Government for a three per cent. consolidated stock. " 2. Every six months the Cabinet will determine the price at which the exchange can be made during that period, and the amount that may be exchanged, reserv. ing the power of increasing the amount in proportion to the demand. " 3. Every month, at the period fixed by the Junta of the debt, which will be advertised previously, the propo sals of the holders will be made known to the Junta. The Junta will admit those proposals which, at the price named, are the most advantageous, and whi c h d o not ex ceed r nt G emn o de v ne e rt r e, n d m wf e ho n : or t amountwi li make i l e : ea itam am kor more than n o w t n fi t x ot e h d tehae b m y Go measures accordingly. w th il el l fj ad ut o nh p taa t t 4. All proposals presented during the same monthly period and admitted, notwithstanding they may consist of different ' prices, will be converted at the rate of the highest bidding. " 5. As soon as the proposals are accepted, the Minis try of the Public Debt will cancel the old bonds, and proceed to the delivery of the 3 per cent. consolidated bonds with the least possible delay. "6. All bonds given in for exchange and those de livered in exchange will be with interest for the current half-year. " 7. The holders of the exterior deferred debt can ex. change either against 3 per cents. exterior .or interior era of the interior deferred bonds at pleasure, but,the hold w i t 3 per cents.interior can exchange only again st consoli dated. "S.

The conversion will be made with as little delay as possible. ‘. io, The Junta of the Debt will establish the precise rules of this conversion."
