Queen MARIA DA GLORIA of Portugal has been duped into a proceeding most prejudicial to the liberties of her subjects and to the stabilty of her im perial influence. Like Queen ISABELLA 11. of Spain, her Portuguese MAJESTY has been cajoled into a most unpopular policy ; like the Spanish SOVEREIGN, Queen MARIA has been entrapped in the pitfalls of French diplomacy. What the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duc DE 11IONTPErSIER has done for Spain the expulsion of the PALMELLA Administration has done for Portugal. The independence of each country has been filched from it by an unconstitutional intervention ; the entire Peninsula is now nothing better than an additional spot for the vassalage of GUIZOT and BRESSON to flourish and multiply. There cannot be a moment's question that the Cabinet of the Tuileries is implicated in the late 'Ministerial transpositions at Lisbon, and that it is implicated therein most intimately and systematically. The programme of the new Administration is of itself a sufficient evidence upon that particular, and that evi dence is not so much in the appointments already an nounced, as in the startling vacancy which is ob servable in the Ministry. There is Farimuo for the administration of Justice ; there is POE.. TUG AL for the Marine ; there is OLIVEIRA for the Interior, and temporarily for Finance; there is SALDANH A as Minister of War and President of the Council ; but where is the holder of the Foreign portfolio ? Who is nominated to one of the mos responsible of all Ministerial dikes in the preseni dubious state of European, and especially of Pepin. sular affairs ? Why, it would appear that this de partment is reserved for the Viscount CARREIRA, the Portuguese Ambassadcr in the French metropolis. Is not that a tolerably conclusive testimony that the same wily diplomatists as have recently bartered away the integrity of the Spanish constitution for the sake of a superfluous bridegroom, have likewise been the principal, though secret, instigators of the recent catastrophe at Lisbon ? Is it not another instance of that passion fur foreign interference which has latterly reigned predominant in the Council of Louis PHILIPPE ? IS it not another and most lamentable proof that the Government of the Citizen KlNG—the hero of the three days—the constitutionaltg by y and all monarch of 1830—the crowned patriot of Jul all the artifi ces o f di plomat the y :ushs liberal machi nations of mi n i s t er i a l guile to subvert the iberal.late ;in stitutions of sur roun di ng nations and toncipalanitieis annihilate the independence o f th e continental principalities? We are living in an epoch as dissimilar from all preceding ones, p o liti ca ll y as i t is scientifically an d mechanically. Where monarchs had failed when sustained by all the potency of allied ambition, or when supported by military prowess and an almost miraculous generalship, a successor is succeeding through the assistance merely of consummate cunning THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA MORN INC - 3, OCTOBER 21, 1146. and a magnificent hypocrisy. Ilis pilicy is triumph ant, solely through the characters traced by a goose quill and the perspirstiun of a courier's horie Where a Grand Monarch had failed, thuugh assiste,, by the baton of a C034-.^,E, and by the most puissant despotism, Louis PHILIPPE has succeeded solely by political masquerading. Where a Great Emperor had only encountered discomfiture, notwithstanding the vastness of his dominions, and the heroic audacity of his veterans, the Monarch of the Barriers has been victorious through the industry of secretaries and clerks. From the appropriateness of the time at which this Portuguese revolution occurred it is manifest that much forethought had been expended upon its arrangement. Everything has been undoubtedly planned with the utmost precision, and with a scru - pulous eye to convenience. The Palmella Ministry is not sacrificed until the espousal of the Spanish INFANTA is absolutely completed. Not until some direct evi dence had been given by events that the French in fluence was triumphant in the eastern portion of the Peninsula was the Liberal Cabinet which recently administered the affairs of Portugal ousted. Directly, however, the success of the Bresson plot was mani fest, the Councillors of Queen MARIA DA GLORIA are summarily changed—the well-wishers of the obnoxi ous CABRALS, though not the CABRALS themselves, are inducted to the mysteries of ministerial authority-- PALMELLA and his colleagues, after a brief reign of somewhere about four months' duration, are expelled from the official apartments—and a grand Conserva tive triumvirate is established at Paris, at Madrid, and at Lisbon. While Spain, however, is blessed with a body of sagacious reformers, and we might almost say, cursed with an ISTURITZ—PortugaI is, to speak compara tively, blessed with a SALDANITA and cursed with a population of a most tumultuary character, though one, no doubt, earnestly solicitous for the realisation of its individual liberty and the preservation of its com mon nationality. The resolute protest of Great Britain, the suppressed indignation of the people, and the threatened appearance of the Count DE MONTE MOLIN augur the most mournful prospects and the most terrible danger to Spain. With Portugal there are a variety of circumstances and probabilities equally unpropitious. Money will be requisite for the carry ing on of the new Government, and as specie cannot exactly be caught like sprats in the Tagus, an extraordinary taxation must be attempted, and the effect of that attempt will inevitably be the in surrection of the Minho peasantry, and the forma tion of legions of refractory guerillas. It is, indeed, already reported that a rising of that description has even now taken place, that Das ANTAS is presiding over the rebellion, and that Oporto is decidedly inimical to the late movement at the palace of the Sovereign. Whether these occurrences are actual or fabulous, it is most certain that the new Administra tion in Portugal is erected upon a most insecure foun dation, and that, notwithstanding the partial po pularity of the Marquis DE SALDANIIA, the continuance of French domination through the instrumentality of himself and his colleagues is most uncertain. One thing is obvious, that the insidious encroachments of France upon the liber ties and independence of other nations are ex ceeding all rational limits. The Pyrenees may be levelled by an adroit intrigue, but_Patriotism when once aroused forms a barrier infinitely mere difficult to overcome. That there exists in this country one law for the rich and another for the poor is a trite observation, but albeit this difference tells in the generality of instances in favour of the rich man, yet there is one case in which the law gives a great and manifest ad vantage to the pauper over his more wealthy fellow countryman. It is the case of alleged lunacy. The certificate of two medical men is not a sufficient war rant to authorise the detention of an alleged pauper lunatic in a madhouse. In the case of the alleged pauper lunatic there must be instituted that public preliminary inquiry which we have always contended ought to be instituted in every case before a British subject is permanently deprived of his liberty. The necessity of such preliminary inquiry is abun dantly proved by a case which was adjudicated on by Mr. &CEEB last week, at the Southwark Po lice Court. 1 " MARGARET War-ss, an aged woman nearly blind, alleged to be insane, was brought up from the work house of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, for the rtrrpneo of bciog acne to tho county lunatic asylum. " Mr. ROBINiON, the master of the workhouse, ac companied by the medical officer of the institution, attended with the certificate of the woman's insanity, in order to have the magistrate's signature to the document preparatory to her admission into the county lunatic asylum. The alleged lunatic was led into the Court by an old woman, the nurse of the ward, of which she was an inmate while in the workhouse, and while the certificate was being filled up, the alleged lunatic, who was standing with the nurse in the body of the Court, began to sob and cry, giving utterance to words indicative of her distress of mind in being compelled to enter a mad-house. She fre quently exclaimed that she was not insane. " Mr. SECKER, on hearing the woman's complaints directed her to be led forward, and on ascending the witness-box, she exclaimed in a piteous tone of voice, " For GOD'S sake, gentlemen, do not send me to a mad-house, for I am not insane, my only misfor tunes being destitute and blind." She then pro ceeded to state that she formerly had an allowance of four shillings a week out of the house, but was de prived of that, and taken into the workhouse--that she had been an inmate of the Wandsworth union, but had been removed thence to St. George's—that she was comparatively happy in the former place, but since her admission into the latter she was very much annoyed and teazed by a girl in the same ward, who was in the habit of sticking pins into her, and also of striking her in the face when the nurse's back was turned ; that in consequence of the species of annoy ance to which she had been subjected, she admitted that she occasionally gave vent to expressions which she knew it was wrong to do, but which were attri butable to the treatment she experienced." In answer to Mr. SEcKER's inquiry as to the truth of this statement, the nurse flippantly replied, " There is no girl who annoys her—it is all false." This, which would have no doubt perfectly satisfied the Commissioners of Lunacy, did not, however, satisfy Mr. SECKFR, and on being pressed, the nurse was forced to admit that there was a girl in the same ward with the poor woman, but added she never annoys her. The alleged lunatic, however, proceeded to argue her case in the most sane manner possible, and in the course of her defence she declared that the master of the workhouse, Mr. RoBINSON, bore some animosity towards her in consequence of the re presentations of this girl. This brought up Mr. RoniasoN, who indignantly declared it was absurd to suppose that he could bear animosity towards her. Of course it was —masters of workhouses hare never been known to bear animosity to particular paupers The thing is unheard of. " Mr. SECKER said that he saw nothing in the woman's conduct to indicate that she was labouring under insanity, and that her answers to all questions put to her there were consistent, and perfectly rational. Before he signed the certificate for the ad mission of the woman into a lunatic asylum he should wish to witness an instance of her being iu the condi- tion of mind which the document set forth. " The surgeon then proceeded to ask the alleged unatic sundry questions, and amongst them, as to whether she had not told him, the preceding day, .hat Mr. ROBINSON was trying to poison her, and tha she was afraid he would accomplish it if she did not :ake care ? " The reply was—l did not tell you so. I com plained that I knew he had an animosity against me, and that he was determined to put me into a mad house. She here imploringly besought the magis trate not to be a party in sending her to a lunatic asylum—to a place where she said she would be con fined with mad people, and shut out from the society of all rational human beings. " Other questions were put to her, all of which she answered in the same rational manner, exhibiting no symptom of derangement, but on the contrary, dis playing sound sense, and seeming perfectly aware of the steps that were taken to confine her, if the magis trate sanctioned the proceeding, by signing the cer tificate of her admission into a lunatic asylum. " The surgeon said that her answers to the ques- ra mo: die ma Pei tions put to her cn the preceding day were quite irra• ional, and that it was perfectly IA (4 1 known persons ••1 •:;ouditi4:.‘7l 1 - 1!..f.1 ILA lucid in- :: r ~.,5. " Mr. SECKER, for his part, could not conceive what danger there was to be apprehended from a poor old blind woman—that it was possible that she might have some unfounded fears with respect to the master of the workhouse, and perhaps talk extravagantly in the ward to the other inmates, but that he had seen nothing in her conduct before him to indicate madness, or anything approaching to it, and therefore should de cline signing any document for her admission to a lunatic asylum. " The parties then left the Court." All honour to Mr. SECKER for his wise, judicious, and humane decision, which has saved this poor woman from imprisonment for life, to which, had she not been a pauper, she would have been inevitably condemned. It may be said that, had she been im properly incarcerated, the Commissioners of Lunacy would have liberated her. We believe they would have done no such thing. They would never have taken the trouble to institute proper inquiries. What was their conduct in the Heydock Lodge case ? llow came it that they did not discover the sanity of Mrs. CUMMING ? Mrs. CUMMING was seized on the 12th of May, at her own house ? and conveyed to York house, Battersea, a private asylum for the insane, where she remained until the 29th of August, on which day the proceedings before the Com mission de Lunatico Inquirendo, which ended in her liberation us a sane person, commenced. Did the Commissioners of Lunacy visit York House during that period ? Did they see Mrs. CUMMING ? Did they inquire into the state of her mind ? If they did, how comes it that they failed to discover that which was so self-evident that Mr. Commissioner BARLOW ordered her immediate liberation, taking upon himself the responsibility of dispensing with the forms usual on such occasions—that Dr. MIL LINGEN at once consented to accept Mr. Commissioner BeaLow's guarantee, and permitted her to leave the Court with her friends—and that the very parties who had caused her incarceration, acting under the advice of some of the most astute lawyers of the day, accepted from her a deed disposing of her property, which, if she were insane at the time of its execution, is ipso facto null and void. Now, how comes it that the Commissioners, who, in the course of these four months, must have visited this asylum, did not discover all this ? Did they neglect their duty ? Dismissal is the lightest punishment with which negligence, in such a case, should be visited. `Were they incompetent to the performance of it ? The sooner all incompetent public functionaries are removed the better. At all events, here is a prima facie case for a Parliamentary inquiry into the manner in which the Commissioners of Lunacy per form their duties. We say Parliamentary inquiry, for the far-famed Andover case proves that a Home office inquiry into the alleged misdoings of Govern ment-appointed Commissioners is too often " a mockery, a delusion, a snare." Great excuses are to be made for any errors into which the destitute and impoverished portion of our Irish brethren may fall at the present trying period Starving men cannot be expected to reason coolly, and those who are looking upon their wives and children crying for the food which it is not in their power to bestow, will be easily induced by the advice of unprincipled and reckless characters to take a part in acts of violence and intimidation, which they would recoil from under other and more favourable circumstances. We, therefore, gladly acquiesced in the propriety of immediate attention being paid to the wants of the people although the demands were preferred in an importunate and un becoming manner ; and we thought it not unbecoming on the part of the Executive to pardon and overlook, or at least not to scrutinize with too curious an eye, the illegal acts committed by the people when goaded on by the apathy and neglect of those whose especial duty it was to take immediate steps for the purpose of procuring food and employment. At the same time we pointed out the injurious and demoralising con sequences bf yielding to force and intimidation that which was not administered from motives of charity and humanity. What, however, could be done ? A withholding of the employment on public works in 'the district. duty of violence had taken place, which might - perhaps be the proper way of dealing - with such delinquencies, would lead to the most - fearful suffering. It would be tantamount to a sentence of death on hundreds, a punishment far toe severe even for the ringleaders and originators of the 'disturbances, but to which an immense number of :innocent persons would also be subjected ; indeed it - would fall with greater force on the peaceable and 'timid than on the turbulent and bold ; and the :greater proportion of the victims would be women :and children. The demands at first, too, were of the znost moderate character : a means of earning a scanty zubsistence by the sweat of their brow was all these pi lople sought for. One sufficient meal of the plainest le scription in the twenty-four hours for themselves d their families, in return for their labour, was in r a any instances the too modest request of the people ; a n d it would be indeed cruel and heartless in the ex b me to punish such persons with the utmost rigour of the law for any excesses into which they might h .e been led. We have already commented upon tl xe proceedings which took place at Youghal. There tb e first of the bread riots, as they are termed, took pl a( :e. On the Monday of the previous week a meet in g of the most peaceful character was held ; the lag 11 ;wage used was temperate, the conduct of all most or, t Orly. They passed votes of thanks to those who hac I already afforded assistance, and represented the - .!ulties in which they were placed, the hardships thel were suffering under, and implored, with the gre -a test humility, that immediate employment should be given. One of their pastors addressed them, and in I e name of the relief committee stated that within a v er y few days work should be provided, and every me: s adopted for the mitigation of their distress ; and they r • dispersed in peace and quietness, without the com ission of a single act which the most severe could censure. Th. ; golden opportunity however passed away—a wee k elapsed without any practical step being taken-- and a; ;ain the multitude assembled ; but this time the dem al id was made in a peremptory and threatening man n 3r—the people were exasperated at the delay; they' ' were not to be appeased by promises, but took forora le possession of the town, which they held for tvvo , days, plundered the bread shops and provision store 3, and anarchy and confusion prevailed in the entis e vicinity. At length the relief committee and au torities were awakened from their slumbers ; iate relief was at length afforded, and the labourers tri q mphed over the gentry, and proved the superior of E. e acy of acts of outrage and violence to humble re: 11 anstrance. he lesson was not lost. It became our painful duct: rto record acts of disturbance in other and not di st Int localities. Clashmore, Dungarvan, Castle tyr, Fermoy, Kil worth, in their turn were sub. ject to the visits of riotous mobs. The military we" e called out in many instances, and hostile c, Xll isions took place. We have now further painful ounts from Youghal. The people are no longer s; it isfied with work ; they seek to dictate to the o: E cers of the Board of Works the nature of the rn ployment, and the amount of the remuneration tl 3e y are to receive for their labour—in fact, a g st teral turn-out has taken place, and those who e 7e inclined to work in accordance with the regu lf di ons promulgated have been by force obliged to reli squish labour, and to join the disaffected and tur bulent. The labourers marched through the town sb aldering their spades and shovels; they sought feet the officers of the Board of Works, but not finding the n they separated, vowing vengeance against any ria a who should work at the prescribed rate. e masons have also turned out for an advance of ges, and as a necessary consequence the Board of orks have determined on not commencing any work them ; the greatest fears are entertained generally a popular commotion. Such proceedings must be ninated by the most prompt and vigorous measures. the people are permitted to indulge in such dicta 1, and if it is permitted to meet with any success, s succumbed to in any manner, it will lead to the ;t fearful results, and the entire country will be urbed with additional and most unreasonable de nds, enforced in the most audacious manner. The .ce of the country depends on the firmness of the authorities. They must afford employment to the industrious an , l well-rli•Tosed ; must fully and inzia,e (1 i ; - ...:tesiv r -.. , i - 1:0 vt ei - rr:v. .;..:Ii complaint; they must see that e,wr . , to work, shall receive for his labour wages sufficient to afford a reasonable quantity of food for the supp3rt of his family. And having thus di:chargcd their duty, they must see that the majesty of the law is respected, and that it shall not in any instance be outraged with impunity, but that the ringleaders of outrages shall, in every respect, be dealt with accord ing to their deserts, and punished for their niiscon duct. By such means only can they,hope to over come their difficulties, and to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the nation. Count STADION, the Governor of Austrian Galicia, ha issued a proclamation, dated Lemberg, Oct. 6, which is published in the Silesian Gazette of the Bth, placing under martial law the whole of Austrian Galicia, with the exception of Balkowina. The King of BAVARIA has declared war against the press. In the last Council of Ministers, held at Munich, it was resolved to follow the example given by the Duchy of Brunswick, and suppress all journals. All authorisations to publish journals in Bavaria are to be revoked after the Ist of January, 1847, and on that day the Government will publish a daily State Gazette of a large six?, which is to be the only journal that is to appear in Bavaria. -111:a A letter from Rome, Oct. 9, says— " The examination which has just been made by order of the Pope into the state of the prisons throughout the Roman states shows that they contain upwards of 54,000 condemned prisoners, or nearly two per cent. of the whole population. Their support costs so much the more on the one hand, as by ancient usage they are every day furnished with ample rations of bread and wine ; and on the other, the public works, which our Government has to execute, are not sufficient to employ the twentieth part of the galley slaves. In order to de liver the Roman finances from a part of the immense expense which the support of these men necessitates, the Government has decided to set at liberty all the prisoners condemned to five years' punishment and under, and to urge on with the utmost activity the nego►iations already commenced with France for the purpose of establishing in Algeria, as colonists, our forcats condemned to twenty years' hard labour or upwards." Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 12th, one day later than the news published yester day. The garantia has been suspended, as well as the publication of the journals, and the partisans of the corrupt Cabral Administration have been all restored to office. The large armed force collected in Lisbon, which is officered exclusively by Ca bralista partisans, keeps the capital quiet, but the pro vinces are preparing for a vigorous resistance. The Duke of TERCEIRA, who had been sent by the new Government to Oporto, to restore the Cabralista regime in that city, was arrested immediately on his landing, and Viscount DAs ANTAS, who was in com mand of the troops in the northern provinces, has proclaimed the Prince Royal as King, under the title of Don PEDRO V., the Viscount taking upon himself the office of Regent provisionally. Madrid papers of the 13th have been received. The Heraldo declares that an amnesty will shortly be published. The QUEEN and the King Consort, accompanied by the Queen-Mother, and the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER, attended the theatre on the evening of the ]2th, and were well received. The Duke DE MONTPENSIER and the INFANTA leave Madrid for Paris on the 24th inst. The Tiempo says that Mr. BULWER has no' attended the Court since the marriage. The Madrid Bolsa continued closed. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Ministerial papers, the Moniteur Parisien and the Journal des Debats, contain articles on the Mont pensier marriage, intended to prove that that marriage is not a violation of the treaty of Utrecht. Now, it is not so contended in the English protest, as we read it, because if it were, the contracting of the marriage itself would be a casus bell. The contention of the English Government is, that by the treaty of Utrecht the issue of that marriage are in capable of succeeding to the Crown of Spain. The argumeDts, therefore, of the French Ministry are completely beside the question ; and the cases produced of marriages contracted during the period the sureozeion to the Spaninh Crown waa regulated by the Salic law, as established by Plum , V., are not cases in point. The recent counter-revolution in Portugal is attributed by most of these journals to the intrigues of M. GuizoT. It is somewhat remarkable that the Marquis of SALDANLIA should have visited Paris immediately after the accession of the Duke of PALMELLA, that no sooner does the Marquis SAL DANIIA arrive in Lisbon than SILVA CABRAL quits Spain for Paris, and that on the arrival of SILVA CABRAL in Paris, the coup d'etat takes place in Portugal. In commenting on Portuguese affairs, the Siecle says— " The news of the counter-revolution which took place on the 6th, in Portugal, is hailed by the Ministe rial journals of Spain with a very imprudent joy. In this reaction these journals behold a complete return to the 'monarchical order, and a very significant check to English influence. The revolution menaced the charter of Dom Pedro; but it is well known that this charter is the work of England—that it was taken to Portugal by Lord Stuart de llothesay, and, finally, that when it was in danger from Dom Miguel, ten thou sand soldiers, under the orders of General Clinton, left London precipitately for Lisbon. Not only this con stitution is dear to the English by its origin, but by the clause which establishes religious toleration, and opens the door to Protestant missionarie s . Thy Duke de Palmella is the head of the English party in Portugal,' but he had for colleagues men little disposed in favour of British influence. Besides, the circumstances under which this counter-revolution has taken place ought to be borne in mind. England affirms that the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier will excite a rising in Spain, and it throws on the French Government the responsibility of the events _which, she asserts, it provokes by her ambitious policy. An alliance between the Carlists and the Progressists is not pos sible ; but the same cannot be said of an alliance between the Spanish Progressists and the Portuguese Liberals. Does not the counter-revolution of October 6 present a pretext for this alliance ? And if civil war bursts out, will not England find means to force the French Go vernment to an intervention full of perils, or to an act of baseness which would have the effect of disconsider ing it in Europe ? Is it very certain that the Duke de Palmella has fallen fairly in seeking to extend liberty in Portugal ? Has not this diplomatist, who sees no safety for his country except in the patronage of Great Britain, acted upon the counsels of Lord Ilowin d de Walden ? These are suppositions which should be paid attention to more than the organs of the Spanish Government seem inclined to do." The France is not one whit more favourable to M. GUIZOT. It thus comments on the consequences likely to arise from the very clever line of policy which M. GuizoT is pursuing : " The Ministerial revolution in Portugal is confirmed by the letters which we have just received. The pro clamation signed by Donna Maria, and addressed to the Portuguese people, haves no doubt of the real character of this coup d'etat. It is certainly a re action in favour of the Cabral party, or rather of the doctrinaire policy of France. The arrival of M. Carreira, the Portuguese Ambassador, at Paris, would of itself be sufficient to confirm us in this opinion. M. Guizot and the Reactionists of Lisbon have not, undoubtedly, seen how brutally clumsy is this mode of acting. On one hand, public op inion in Por tugal is man if est l y oppose d to t h a t pretended Moderado party which it not long since overturned, at the time of the revolution against the Cabrals. In the second place, the British influence, against which the late movement has been directed has become deeply r ooted in Portu g al. If, then th e e l ements of t h e l as t revolution but one have not ceased t o su b s i st i n Liston, if the anti - Engl i s h influen ce h as lost noth i ng o f it s reality, what can M. Guizot, wh at can the P ortugu ese Reactionists hope for fro m th e new coop d'itut? Not on l y is this reaction ,but,eeinopportunea e in ouffreeotped:nion, revealst h e the abruptness in ost com plete with which it has b unskilfulness. M. Guizot, we aro all aware, expects to derive a great political profit from this event in the p resen t state of things. He alread y dreams of a grand alliance between Fiance and the Pe ninsula, united under the same network of action, and fused together by a common politic al res p onsibilit y . This hope, it must be allowed, is somewhat vain. The community of interests between us and the Peninsula cannot be of a nature to lend us a serious support, a real force, in the great differences w hich now han g over Europe. Wi t h so slight a help, we should run a great risk of playing the parts of persons disdained, and of seeing ourselves unceasingly hum ili a ted by the different cabinets. In a wor d, i t w ould be to add new mystifica tions to those of the past. It is not at a moment so solemn for us, when the gravest conflicts and difficul ties present themselves in the political horizon, that the French Cabinet ought to devote its efforts to the petty success of intrigues like that whic h it a pp ears to have obtained in Lisbon. Our necessary support is not to be found on that side. It remains to be seen if a Govern ment which has issued from the revolution of H3O can find it elsewhere."

THE CASINO, ADELAIDE GALLERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: SIR,—In your paper of 'Thursday evening, under the head of Pol ce reports " Bow-street." A young man applied to Mr. Hall for advice for being turned out of tt.e Adelnide Gallery by the check taker, and called a ;hief tied rogue, &c.; which report is incorrect. He was removed by the police oll,er, and his money re turned. May 1, therefore, request you will correct 019 same as respects myself. Your compliance will oblige, your obedient servant, _ T. BENNETT, Check-taker. HORN FAIR.- This scene of popular amusement was held on Monday, according to ancient custom, in the healthful and plea sint village of Charlton. In former times it was gene rally distinguished by riot and obscenity. Some of the worst class in London made parties to carry out the vulgar joke of f:orn u ted husbands and wives. Horn Fair (the common name) is now changed to Charlton Fair, and the visitors, more enlightened than their au cesters, seldom indulge in those disorderly tranactions which bore the stigma of indecency. It was formerly a mart for various sorts of utensils made of horn, and tra dition ascribes the origin to King John. An amour car ried on by that licentious and infamous Prince with the wife of an honest miller was the foundation of the fair. John, surprised by the enraged husband, would have perished under the uplifted dirk of the miller, had he not saved his life by promising to redress the injury. The compensation was a grant of all the land the miller could see westward from . the top of his mill. Agreeable to the royal donation, a fair was to be held annually, on St. Luke's-day, for ever. Such is the oral account of the fair from yi ar to year, and there is, we believe, at the present cir.y, an aquatic custom at Cuckold's-point, where it is said the mill stood, which bears out the story. The waterman, as he passes the stairs, or landing-place, frequently tells his fare that a spider is crawling on his hat. The per son naturally takes it off his head, and then Old Charon, with a laugh, requests he will put it on again, having properly paid his respects to the Horns at Cuckold's Point. The fair is proclaimed at the noble mansion now in the occupation of Sir T. M. Wilson. This beau tiful building was erected by Sir Adam Newton, Lord of the Manor, and preceptor to Henry Prince of Wales, son of James I. It forms, with the curious church at Charl ton, two of the most striking features in that quiet and picturesque village. Every preparation was made at the Bugle Horn, and other respectable inns, to accommodate company. The vehicles from town were numerous, and the parties found in the bustle and good cheer around them all they could desire. Most of the houses were adorned, as usual, with the flowers of the season—dahlias arranged in fl , zures gave a floral effect which the visitors admired. Toys, and articles for the juveniles, were sold in the inclosure in which the fair is held. The heavy rains which have recently fallen proved a check upon the sports of the visitors. THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Major-General Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., the newly appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Ilope, has, with Lady Pottinger and family, arrived at his man sion in Eaton-place, and is now engaged in making the necessary arrangements for departure. Lady Pottinger and the family purpose remaining in England for the present. THE ARMY.—THE FIRST LirE GUARDS.—It is stated in military circles that the Hon. Colonel Caven dish, of the Ist Life Guards, is shortly about to retire from the Lieutenant. Colonelcy of that regiment, and that he will be succeeded by the Earl of Cardigan, Lieu tenant-Colonel of the 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hus sars, by purchase. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—On Monday the range of buildings extending from the Hal of Com nv,rce to the corner of Threadneedle-'street, and thence down Broad-street, were sold by public auction, by Messrs. Fuller and Son, the auctioneers. Among the lots sold were 500,000 stock bricks. The ground will be speedily cleared, and measures taken to render mere commodious these important approaches to the Royal Exchange. The formation of the new street from Hol born-brrdge to Clerkenwell proceeds slowly, and the traffic is but small, as the road is at present carried to no important place. tau LIZARD.—The fishermen of Cadgwith, who have this season been employed in the shell fishery, sus • tained a heavy loss on account of the late stormy weather. Their store pots were well filled with fish, ex pecting to make a good return ; but the violence of the sea made them a complete wreck, which blasted their anticipations and left many families to mourn over their loss. Last week some very catches of hook fish were brought on shore, of an excellent quality, and met with a ready sale. At present the weather is not favourable to the fishery here. On Sa turday there were some small shoals of pilchards seen in the bay, which encourages us to believe that they have not left the coast. There is an expectation indulged that when the weather moderates the seans will be put to sea again. On Sunday night the sea ran so violent here that it was necessary to call many who had retired to rest for the purpose of preserving the boats.—Falmouth Packet. DEATH OF THE HAannoN WITCH,—On the morn ing of Thursday, the Bth instant, the window-shutters of a cottage in East Hartburn, near Stockton-on-Tees, which had been occupied several years by an old woman of the name of Mary Newton, alias Fenny, alias the Harbron Witch, were observed to be open at the usual hour, but no witch made her appearance. Her neigh bours, whose fears were excited by the circumstance, shortly afterwards effected an entrance into the premises, when they found the unfortunate woman lying dead upon the floor, having apparently dropped down in a fit and instantly expired. Deceased was eighty-nine years of age, of a very eccentric character, but remarkably in dustrious, and was possessed of money, which she had put out at interest. Gold and silver to a considerable amount are also said to have been found secreted in her humble abode.—Durham Advertiser. DESTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE BY FIRE.—MAIDSTONE, OCT. 17.—The night before last a disastrous fire broke out on the farm premises of Mr. Allchin, of Linton, near this town. Mr. Allchin was from home at the time, but one of his neighbours wit nessed at a distance the first burst of the flames, and hastened to give the alarm. The most laudable alacrity was at once evinced by all within hail to render assist ance, none being more assiduous or daring in their efforts to stop the ravages of the flames than thelabourers, especially those in Mr. Allehin's employ, many of -them exposing themselves to imminent peril by ascend ing to the top of the burning stacks and attempting to tread out the flames, until the fire acquired such an ascendancy that they had no time to descend by the ladders, but were obliged to throw themselves off prezi pitately to avoid being consumed. An engine from Maidstone was quickly on the spot, but all efforts to stay the destruction were in vain—upwards of 160 quarters of wheat and 100 loads of straw falling a prey to the devouring element. Fortunately Mr. All chin is insured. FATAL ACCIDENT. Two LIVES LOST. —On Thursday morning, during a heavy storm, two men, be longing to the " Moorsome" engine, employed in bring ing coals down Mr. Powell's branch, sought shelter from the rain under the engine which stood at the junction of this branch with the main trunk of the Taff Vale Rail way. While thus restin g in apparent security, the Red mine train came up, and in consequence either of the pointers having been turned wrong, or a stone impeding their movement, left the main line, and went up the main branch, shivered to pieces the other engine, and so severely injured the two men that they have since died. The driver and stoker of the Redwine train, foreseeing the consequence of the misdirection of the pointers, had the presence of mind to jump off the engine, and escaped unhurt.—Monmouthshire Merlin. Dr. John Thomson, late Professor of Pathology in Edinburgh University, died in the vicinity of that city last week. He was in his 82d year, was a native of Paisley, and about ton years since, from ill health and increasing years, resigned his Professorship. His pub lished works are not many. the principal one being a translation of "Fourcoy's Elements of Chemistry." MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.—Mr. Shadwell held his court on Monday at the King's Head, Enfield, for the revision of the parish lists of Edmonton, Enfield, Friern Barnet, Hatfield, South Mims, and Tottenham. Mr. W. H. James attended for the Liberal party, and Mr. J. Payne for the Conservatives. No case cf public interest occurred during the day. The rent-charges made through the agency - of the League in this district were retained. The Court sits this day at the Black Dog, Bedfont. The President of the Manchester Reform Associa tion, Mr. John Potter, it is stated declined to form one of the deputation appointed to wait upon Mr. Bright. We learn that Mr. Potter has since tendered his resigna tion of the office of President, on the ground that he cannot cordially concur in the nomination of Mr. Bright as the future candidate of the borough. MUNIFICENT DONATION.--Her Majesty the Queen Dowager having been infor me d b y Mr. Alderman a r i I sl b f , Hughes Hughes that Sando wn Ch urc h , i n the p Brading, Isle of Wight (the scen e o f the labours of the o late Rev. Legh Richmond), erected a t a cost of 2,0 i s waiting for consecration solely from a deficiency 2001., has generously tran sm itt e d to that gentleman ofa donation of 20/. toward s supp l y i ng such deficiency. SCIENTIFIC EXPE DITION .—M r. Gould,tllena turalist, who was some years absent on au ornithological tour in New Zealand and Australia. is about to leave England on an expedition to Guatemala, and other parts of central America, in order to explore the natural his tory of those regions. CAMDEN TOWN STATION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—Large as this stati on i s, i t is en tirely inadequate f or the immense a traffic carried en I3x there, upon the a ut h or i ty of Mr.erdale. It is 22 acres in extent, and quite insufficient, says another carrier, Mr. Hayward. The general route into the city is from this station. The area of the station is 30 acres, according to Messrs. Creed and Glyn, the secretary and chairman, rather more than one-half of w hi c h i s appro priated to road s and approaches. In a ddi t i on to t hi s space, Messr s . Pickford have about two acres for their own use. It is very difficult to enlarge the station. Total number of waggons standing morning at this statio n a t half past three o'clock in t heof the 30th April, 1846, was 591. This station is not laid out with regard to 0 0 4110iniiing space.

It is perfectly well known that America, by a combination of circumstances, has of late years outstripped us in consequence of heavy losses individually sustained by those British shipowners who have prosecuted the employment. An institution similar to the one now proposed has been already established abroad. "It is a vulgar error to suppose (states the prospectus) that the ocean can be depopulated, and in fact whales were never more abun dant than at present in the Arctic regions. The true cause is, however, plain and indisputable. The trade has proved unprofitable to individuals, simply because by individuals it has almost necessarily been prosecuted on too limited a scale." Accounts annually ceivt d have afforded information of the great decrease of the fisheries, but we were hardly prepared to find so large a diminution of our shipping engaged in the trade or so great an increase in that of the United States. From official documents the results of experience and esti mates may be succinctly given as follow: " So recently as the year 1821, the British whale fisheries gave employment to 323 ships, of which 159 were engaged in the northern, and 164 in the southern fishery. The total number now employed is only 85, the northern fishery having dwindled to 44, and the southern to 41 vessels. Simultaneously with this rapid decline in the most enterprising branch of our commerce, the whale fishery of the United States has advanced with almost equal rapidity ; the number of American whaling ships, which in 1834 was 431, having increased in 1845 to no less than 735—a contrast as remarkable as it must appear humiliating to the first maritime nation of the world." Should the undertaking succeed, as no doubt it must, a large additional employment will be given to the shipping interest and to the mariners of Great Britain. There are not any advices from the British colonies to-day. A large amount of business has been transacted in the British Securities to-day, especially for Money. Console for Account have been quoted only at 9.51, for Money at 94k, the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities at 934 to 94, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 951. The premium upon Exchequer-bills remains at 13s. to 164. Bank Stock is dull at 20.51. India Stock has been sold at 257 k. The constant changes in the Ministry of Portugal give a considerable instability to the value of the Stock of the country. To-day the prices are a trifle better -421 to 43 for the Account.
