Immediately upon the retire ment of the English forces from the vicinity of Lahore, there is scarcely any question that the QUEEN-MOTHER and her hateful paramour, the Wuzeer, will be hurled ignominiously from authority, and possibly offered up as victims to the fanatical vengeance of the Khalsees. Is this condition of affairs surprising ? We appeal to the judgment of those who are sticklers for the sobriety and unim peachable majesty of a Legislature if there be no reason for these lawless and desperate resolutions, if the indignation of the Seikhs be not a most natural consequence of a most unnatural villany, if the de pravities of the RANEE and the RAJA do not almost imperatively require a signal and authoritative inter position, and if any interposition (whether from foreign culverins or native brands) would not be preferable to such a precarious and perni cious domination, providing that that interposi tion conduced to the permanent establish ment and re-organisation of the government of those districts? We ask the homeliest intellect to decide whether even the annexation of such territories to a stronger empire would not be preferable to the con tinuance of such a degenerating, brutalizing, and sanguinary policy, especially if that annexation ensured not merely the domestic tranquillity of a state hitherto devoted to interminable and bloody commotions, but brought civilisation to barbarians, and developed the commercial capabilities of a ne glected land, by all the appliances of artistic contriv ance and scientific ingenuity ? From our hearts we abhor that national selfish ness which would permit the seizure of one principality for the aggrandisement of another. We regard such proceedings, indeed, as altogether de structive to the fundamental principles of morality, and as detrimental not merely to the interests of the conquered, but ultimately to the interests of the con queror. In this instance, however, as in several others which might be adduced from history, the question is not simply as to the aggrandisement of the greater, but as to the preservation and improvement of the lesser territory. A novel cause of misery both to themselves and to surrounding provinces is developed in the territories of which Lahore is the metropolis. A strange description of political leprosy has infected the Government of those territories : for the clearing away of that leprosy some equally novel remedy must be discovered and administered. " Et quoniam variant morbi, variabimus artes ; Mille mali species, mille salutis erunt." Otherwise these maladies would inevitably and inva riably gain the mastery of all correctives. The rulers of this incendiary population are most detestable in their characters. The heartless criminality of the RANEE, the systematic vice of her paramour, and the arch hypocrisy of GHOOLAB SINGH are equally matters of notoriety, and are equally calculated to arouse our detestation. No native materials for legis lation are discoverable ; those which are at present employed are merely endured during the presence of their British defenders ; immediately upon the departure of the latter the former will be overwhelmed by the puissant abhorrence of their subjects. Having vanquished the rulers imposed upon them, or rather aided by the swords of the English, the Seikhs will nurse their self-confidence into audacity; the recollec tion of Sobraon and Ferozeshah will be obli terated by the triumph of overthrowing an obnoxious administration ; and these daring and predatory warriors, elated by success, and instigated by re venge, may once more endeavour to cross those fron tiers which have already been the scene of their discom. fiture, and to renew the bloodshed which has been so destructive to themselves, and so deplorable even in our victorious ranks. We are not arranging some mournful hypothesis, we are deducing a series of glaring probabilities from certain significant and indisputable facts. All these considerations will of course present themselves to the presiding coun cils of British India, and upon the resolutions formed therefrom will depend the barbarism or civili sation, the death or life, the anguish or joy of many thousands. Until the position of affairs at Lahore had been corroborated by a succession of similar dispatches, we abstained from speaking thus definitely upon a matter of such remarkable difficulty and de licacy. Now, however, we are compelled to acknow ledge that the imposition of benefits upon another is preferable to the quiescent reception of grievous. and unceasing injuries. of the Court of Aldermen to the wish of the citizens (as in this case of Alderman Wool)) must have the effect of compelling the public to consider whether an organic change—in other words, a wholesale reform— might not, and must not, be made in the constitution of the Court of Aldermen. He urged that, if it were seen that an irresponsible body pertinaciously acted, for a series ofyears, against the will of the public, un equivocally expressed, there was nothing for it but to change the system, and, by instituting periodical re election, make each member of that body responsible to the Livery. There is so much truth in this, that we firmly believe if municipal reform take place in the city of London, the ostensible cause for it will pro bably be supplied by the Court of Aldermen itself. We would fain hope that the Aldermen will peace fully yield in the present case, and, by confirming the return of Alderman WooD, put an end to the excite ment which now prevails. An act of justice, how ever tardy, will be received with kindly and even with grateful feelings, and in this instance we are confident that it would also create an act of oblivion. Alderman WOOD and his friends, throughout this trying contest, have carefully abstained from all per sonality, have avoided all temptations to annoy those opposed to them. Considering it as not a mere per sonal contest, but a battle for the privileges of the Livery, jeopardized by the resistance, from " the powers that be," to the Alderman's claims to the civic chair—for rotation and for popular election —they have been superior to the use of harsh lan guage, angry epithets, or attempts at recrimination. The contest ended, and the Alderman elected, there can be no reason why the angry feelings which have ruffled the popular mind should not subside.

This adage, used by our Scottish neighbours, conveys an impressive lesson as to the manner in which Irish affairs must be dealt with during the present crisis. The man half-starved, oppressed with the pangs of hunger, and seeing those dearer to him than life itself—the partner of his cares and toils, the helpless infants, the pledges of their mutual love-- crying for food, which he is unable to supply, and gradually sinking, their strength failing, and all the consequences of inanition becoming daily more ap parent, will scarcely be disposed to argue quietly, to listen with submission to the reasons urged on him why he should patiently bear his afflictions, and wait until his necessities can be relieved in due course. The stomach is an unruly member, it requires nourishment of some kind, and that must be obtained legally, if possible, but, if not legally, in any manner h w atsoever, per fas et nefas. We have continually urged the imperative necessity of taking instant measures for setting to work the destitute labourers. That is the first duty, whether the work be useful or otherwise, whether it be likely to yield a profitable return or be merely an ornamental construction. The people must be maintained, and if that maintenance be given to them without any return in the shape of labour, its results will be most injurious and demoralising to the many. " Idleness is the mother of mischief," and that fertile cause of evil must be avoided. A subsis tence must be secured for the people, but it should be in return for their honest industry. They must gat either land, on which they may live, or work and wages, whereby they can live. If this is not afforded to them according to law, it will most undoubtedly be seized contrary to law, and much more will be de stroyed, damaged, or taken away, than would have preserved the public peace and tranquillity, if applied in the first instance. The people must not be driven to insurrection or outrage ; true it is that such disturbances may be suppressed by the THEATRE ROYAL, LYCEUM. UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MRS. KEELEY. The New Grand Fairy Burlesque Extravaganza, entitled " The Magic Horn," having been, on each occasion of its representation, received throughout with the most cordial marks of approbation and delight by crowded and fashionable audiences, is, in conse quence, respectfully announced for repetition every Evening until farther notice. strong arm, but it will be at a fearful loss of human life, a fearful amount of human suffering. The rioters may perish by the bullet, the steel, perchance by the hands of the exe cutioner, but much will be suffered by other parties also ; and it would eventually be found that it would colt as little to send provisions as soldiers into the country ; food is as cheap as armed men, and if the contest is once commenced, it will undoubtedly be tedious and perilous. The battle, on the part of the people, will be one for existence, and the victory will not be easy. There is yet time to avoid this horrible alternative, but it is a brief and flitting moment. "There is a light cloud on the moon, 'Tis passing, and will pass full soon." And if advantage be not taken at the instant, if the golden opportunity is lost, it may be im possible to regain the vantage ground we now occupy. To a reasoning mind it would be un necessary to dilate on the advantages of immediate action. Every riot, similar to those that have so re cently taken place at Youghal and Dungarvan, will lead to further disturbance. If the people succeed, if they find that their violence obtains for them better terms than those formerly offered, if benefits are the return for outrages, they will readily be induced to listen to the suggestions of , wicked and turbulent spirits—and, unfortunately, there are many such abroad—and formidable outbreaks may originate in trivial and in sufficient causes. But should it be otherwise, should they be dispersed by the strong arm of power, and some of the rioters deprived of life, or seriously hurt, a bitter and revengeful feeling will arise, and too many opportunities may occur for giving effect and expression thereto. All this must be avoided, and it is barely possible to do so ; the relief and the em ployment have been too long withheld. Steps have been taken in many localities of the most beneficial character, large sums have been voted, and present ments passel The landowners in some baronies have imposed upon themselves weighty charges for There can be little doubt, from the manner in which the Livery of London have taken up the cause, that Alderman WOOD is the person whom they would desire to occupy the civic chair during the ensuing year. But the very fact that the Court of Aldermen have it in their power to put a veto on the free choice of the Livery is sufficient to create an apathy in the public mind. " What is the use," may every Livery man ask, "of going into Guildhall, and there giving my vote in favour of Alderman WOOD, when I know —from the fatal experience of past years—that the Court of Aldermen, a wholly irresponsible body, can nullify the expression of the popular will and reject the object of the popular choice ?" Were the votes in Guildhall to settle the question, whether it were or were not the desire of the citizens that Alderman WooD should be " Mayor of London and Lord of the Manor of Finsbury," we should have the election carried on in a manner very different from that exhibited since last Tuesday. Where hundreds have voted, thousands would have has tened to vote, under different circumstances. There may be an apparent apathy in the public mind, during the present contest, but there is none in reality. The matter which acts as the wet blanket is simply this—vote how they may, the Livery must feel, and do feel, that their utmost exertions may be in vain, if the obstinacy, the caprice, or the injustice of the Court of Aldermen pleases to declare that Mr. WOOD shall not be Lorcl,Mayor. It is precisely as if a popular and necessary measure— such as reform or free trade—having been triumph antly passed in the House of Commons, by the re sponsible representatives of the people, should be rejected by the House of Lords, a body wholly irresponsible. We are convinced that, if it rested with the Livery, Alderman WooD would be borne into the civic chair by an immense majority. But when they feel that their votes may go for no thing, the Livery lose that strong interest in the election which they would otherwise take, and thus the marvel is not that the total number of votes is comparatively small—not more than a third of the electors having voted—but that so many have come to the poll. The large number who have voted the purpose of averting the disasters from their vicinities, but such isolated exertions, great and meritorious as they undoubtedly are, and valuable as they will prove in preserving the tranquillity of the several districts in which they have taken place, will not alone be sufficient. A general effort must be made throughout the entire kingdom ; zealous and active men should be appointed in every neighbourhood to co-operate with the authorities, to ascertain the extent of the distress, anti the amount of relief that will be necessary. A list should, if possible, be drawn out of all the par sons dependent on their daily labour for their daily bread. By this means the exact amount of expendi ture that will be necessary may be ascertained, and no superfluous undertaking need be attempted. The second point to be considered is, the means by which that labour which must be employed may be made most useful. It should be directed into proper channels, and made productive. The opening of new roads into districts hitherto inadequately provided therewith may be useful in some parts, but, generally speaking, such a source would be quite insufficient for the advantageous employment of the people. The soil of the country, however, affords ample opportunities therefor—there are few acres on which this labour might not be applied so as to yield a return of at least ten per cent. for the expenditure. Why then is such an opportunity neglected ? Difficulties un doubtedly there are in distributing this labour to be paid for by the public, or rather, we should say, by a rate levied on the different lands equitably, so as to give no individual owner or occupier advantages that would not be equally participated in by all similarly circumstanced, but these difficulties are not insuper able ; where there is a will there is a way, and we have no doubt that means could be adopted so as to overcome every existing impediment. The laws, however, are inadequate for the emergency, there is no way by which, under any Act at present in forge, this great object could be attained. Then new enact ments should be passed without delay ; the Legis lature should be immediately assembled to take into their consideration the measures proposed for tha purpose. For Alderman WOOD may be taken as proofs of the personal goodwill of the Livery. If there were not that modern "Star Chamber," the Court of Alder men, with power to undo what the Livery had done, double the number of votes would have been given long ago, and the contest would have been virtually ended on the second day. We have ventured to compare the irresponsible power of the Court of Aldermen to that exercised by the Home of Lords. To carry out the parallel, it should be added, that as the House of Lords have not presumed to persevere in their resistance to the public will, so the Court of Aldermen may find it worth while to consider the consequences of their continued opposition to the voice of the Livery, so often and so loudly raised in favour of Alderman WOOD. " The pressure from without" has more than once significantly given a lesson to the Peers, and the same " pressure" may whisper a word or two into Aldermanic ears. Already has the question been mooted, whether the Aldermen may be ren dered responsible to the Livery of London—by being subjected to septennial or even triennial election. This would efficiently check them without so much controlling them as to limit their power of free action for good purposes. Mr. BENNOCII, himself a member of the Common Council, did not hesitate to touch on this subject, in an eloquent and energetic speech, which he made in Guildhall, at the conclusion of the proceedings on Saturday. He argued that the continued opposition It is certainly an unusual period of the year, and ,he individual Members are entitled to some relaxa- tion after their prolonged labours during the last session, and the many and important subjects with which they had to grapple while it continued; but we are much mistaken if a single Member would he sitate, on account of the personal inconvenience to which he would thereby be subjected ; and we are also well assured that no undue advantage would be taken of the meeting to embarrass the Ministry, or to introduce other and less pressing matters to the public notice. There is a great and serious responsibility on the Government at the present moment. If pos sible, they should share that responsibility with the Parliament; but, if they cannot do so, they should act themselves, and trust to an indemnity on the next meeting for any irregular step they may have autho- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1846. rised or directed—an indemnity which would be unanimously granted. The Scientific Congress, at present sitting at Genoa, has been recently engaged in the discussion of this question—" Is or is not the plague contagi ous ?" They have come to the conclusion that it is contagious, and the report of the section declares that the plague may be transmitted from a considerable distance. We should much like to read the evidence upon which these conclusions are founded. Count DE REVENTLOW, who, on the publi3ation of the Letters Patent of the King of DENMARK, re signed the office which he held of Danish Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, has had conferred on him by the King of PRUSSIA the order of the Red Eagle of the First Class. The Grand Duchess MARY of Russia, daughter o, the Grand Duke MICHAEL, is alarmingly ill al Vienna. Madrid papers of the 27th and 28th ult. have arrived. The Herald() of the 28th announces that the mar riages will be solemnised on the 4th, that the QUEEN and INFANTA with their Consorts will proceed imme diately afterwards to Aranjuez, and will return to Madrid on the 10th, when the fetes will begin. Mr. BULWER had a conference with Senor ISTURITZ on the 26th. Everything was, it is said, conducted in the most courteous way, but Senor IITURITZ concluded by declaring that the Cortes having expressed their opi nion on the royal marriages, he regretted that he could not answer any more communications he might re ceive on the subject. The Bill authorising the levy of 25,000 recruits has passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate were engaged in discussing the Bill authorising the Ministry to levy taxes, which was opposed by General SERRANO, on account of the numerous illegal acts the Ministry had been guilty of. General NARVAEZ, Senor Irruarrz, and the Marquis MIRAMORES de fended the conduct of the Ministry, which was at tacked by Senor LUZUNARA, who was left speaking when the post left. " Yesterday," says the Deo del Curnereio, " the French Ambassador gave a dinner to the Ministers, General NARVAEZ and other partisans or defenders of the foreign marriage. It has always been our opi nion that those who applaud ought to eat, and those who eat are ungrateful if they do not ap plaud." The Ministerial journals represent the country as tranquil; but from the precautions adopted in Catalo nia, Arragon, and the Basque Provinces, it is evi dent that an outbreak is apprehended. The French police are very vigilant. They ar rested at Sare the Carlist Colonel GARCIA, as he was about to enter Spain. A Spaniard has been apprehended on the vague charge of entertaining evil designs against the Duc DE MONTPENSIER, and a strong escort has been appointed for the guard of the Duke. A telegraphic dispatch has announced the arrival of the Dukes DB MONTPIINSIER and D'AUMALE at Tolosa, on the 3d of October, where a magnificent fete was offered them. They were to leave in the morning for Vittoria. remarkable on the Upper and Lower Rhine, where it , exceeds 2ff., the hectolitre costing upwards of 30f. Its price in the western departments was only 201. 72c." " A decided fatality," observes the Breton of Nantes, " appears at present to fall upon the people, and we tremble when we reflect on the dreary prospect before us. As if the sterility of the soil did not produce suffi cient distress, the fishery on our coast has been com pletely null this year, and our fishermen want bread at a season when they are generally making their provision for the winter. At Etel, at Croix, at Belle-Isle, at Port Louis, and at Conquet, the entire population of fisher men must perish unless the Government provide them with employment." Several eminent Carlists have been arrested at their residences in various French towns. Among others General ÜBAGO, who has been placed in soli tary confinement at La Reole, and Senor ARTALEJO, formerly Intendant of the Carlist army of Arragon who has been imprisoned at Nantes. Nothing has yet been heard of the Count DE MON-, TEMOLIN. The Esprit Public declares that " down to the 27th of August last the Cabinet of the Tuileries was negotiating with the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, to whom it offered its assistance to place him on the throne of Spain, as the husband, provided he recog nised the rights of Queen IsAnEnnA, and that he consented to the marriage of the INFANTA, her sister, with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. Count DE MON TEMOLIN rejected those propositions." It is said that Lord PALMERSTON is in the possession of evidence which will prove this to have been the case. The Epoque announces that a treaty of commerce has been concluded with Russia for the removal of the restrictions imposed on French commerce by the ukase of June, 1845.' The Minister of Marine is continuing his tour of inspection. The Vigie of St. Maloes says:— " It appears certain that important works of fortifi cation are about to be erected along the coast of the Channel and the Atlantic. At all events, the realisa tion of those projects must be slow, and our maritime population is not a little alarmed at seeing the existing fortifications left without a single piece of cannon. Our coast is in so defenceless a state, that the English may, whenever they , please, burn all our Cha nne l h ar b ours in a few hours.' MADRID BOLL( ' SEPT. 28.—The Three per Cents. were done at 344, for paper ; the Four per Cents., at 21i: ; the Fire per Cents., at 22, for cash ; the Debt without interest, at 6/ ; and the Coupons, at 20i. We doubt,much whether the ports of France are in such a defenceless condition as the Vigie would lead its to believe. We are Afraid that the Vigie's description would be found to apply more accurately to the English than to the French Channel ports. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The "bread riots" in the Faubourg St. Antoine were renewed on Thursday night. The following is the account of them given in Galignani : " Yesterday evening the assemblage in the Quartier Saint Antoine became again so numerous along the whole of the Rue de Faubourg and the adjacent streets, that the magistrates were obliged to take strong mea sures. Troops of the line, horse and foot municipal guards, sergeants de vile, and police-officers in plain clothes, marched simultaneously into the Place du TrOne and the Place de la Bastille. On their way they were hooted, and in some instances pelted. They were at length compelled to charge. Many of the mob, who were almost all in blouses, took refuge in the house No. 45, which was immediately surrounded by the armed force, and several of the rioters, all young persons, were ar rested. By ten o'clock the disturbers were entirely dis persed, and all remained quiet through the night. We should remark that at least a moiety of the crowd ' assembled last night went to the spot as spectators, ameng whom were many English, proverbially partial to a row. These amateurs (among whom, truth compels us to add, there were not a few of the 4 softer sex') were evidently disappointed at the quiet manner in which the aff a i r went oil, pronouncing it to be alto gether inferior to an Irish 'kick up' in St. Giles's." It would appear, from other accounts, that during the course of the riots various seditious cries were uttered. An attempt was made to renew the dis turbances on Friday evening, but the rioters were prevented from assembling in consequence of the pre cautions adopted by the authorities, who caused several of them to be arrested. The Montpensier marriage still continues to occupy the almost un divided attention of the journalists. The presence of the British fleet on the coast of Spain appears to have excited some alarm in Paris. On this subject the Constitutionnel justly remarks : " It is certain that the - English fleet will not quit the coast of Spain, and a steam-frigate has been sent to Malta for the provisions necessary for a long anchorage. We do not know whether the English fleet is to be rein forced, an d we thi n k there are no t i n the Mediterranean eight ships of the line inhe for ships ithatnp s o w of o purpose, tiiley li n line, bbesides s Admiral id e P s a s r e k v e e r . , therefore, can only receive serious reinforceme n t s f rom rEngland.aglo consistedststeam-frigates, . ri g The oa ft e E sn nglish squadron , which a f ew weeks a , five ships of the line; the other four have left on their return to England. This order given to the English fleet to maintain its post of observation on the coasts of Spain is certainly a grave event, but notwithstanding the menacing cha racter given to it in Madrid and Paris, we are anxious that the importance of it should not be exaggerated. We hope that war will not arise out of the faults com mitted by our Government ; but see to what they have already brought us ! Not only does the entente cordiale no longer exist, but from coolness the affair has pro ceeded to hostile demonstrations. What is the real cause of a change so marked, and of a nature to cause serious uneasiness to the public ? It cannot be said that it is the marriage itself, for it had been accepted by Lord Aberdeen, on c onditions which h a d b een agreed to by our Govern men t. This union, agr eea bl e to the two fami lies, was n o t on ly possible, but easil y realisable, if the negotiations had been conducted with the prudence and considerations which were proper. This is what has not been done, and it is, in a manner, for a question of time and form that the Government has compromised the result which it wished to obtain. Instead of re maining faithful to anterior conventions, instead of waiting for the birth of an heir to the throne of Spain, or obtaining from the English Cabinet its consent to the immediate marriage of the Infanta, our Go vernment thought it more commodious to break its word than to keep it, and to carry by surprise, and at the same time deeply offending its allies, what it might have obtained by prudent and honourable conduct. England complains bitterly—the alliance is broken off; indirect provocations have been interchanged on both sides of the Channel, and now hostile demonstrations announce the cessation of the good relations which had existed, and create alarm in both countries. Whose fault is this? That of the Ministers, who have at tempted to carry off an I n f anta, with the same fore sight, the same wisdom, the same skill, as they dis played in the conquest of the Marquesas. The state of things, however, is more grave than it was at the time of the negotiation relative to Mr. Pritchard. The two Governments are more seriously involved, the rup ture is more profound. The interest which has been fol lowed up is not very great for France, if it can even be said that France finds in this marriage that any interest whatever is satisfied; but who can say what may be the importance of the consequences of the conduct that has been pursued?" The Debuts says, the Montpensier marriage ha s been viewed by various parties— speaking of the manner in which There has been something like an emeute among the military at St. Omer, in consequence of the Ministerial order that the national guards of the town and environs should come without arms to the ceremony of the inauguration of the statue of the Duke of ORLEANS, although the interdiction is in strict conformity with the law. At a meeting held on Wednesday the grenadiers and voltigeurs, the ar tillery and cavalry of the National Guard of Lille, decided that they should not go to St. Omer, as they were not allowed to carry arms. The artillerymen of St. Omer even have refused to appear at the fête. An altercation of much warmth is said to have taken place on the subject be tween the mayor and sub-prefect of the town ; the first insisting upon either a revocation of the order, or a suspension of the ceremony; the second en trenching himself behind the military authority, and insisting that the inauguration should take place on the day originally fixed, on the ground that the march of the troops already given out could not be countermanded. The mayor then declared that the whole of the National Guard of St. Omer would refuse to attend, and that the town would not grant the necessary funds for the expenses of the day. In consequence of this de plorable discussion the mayor and his deputies, and the committee appointed to regulate the preparations for the fete, have resigned their functions.

It draws tighter the chain of those in- terests of ages, the importance of which did not escape observation a short ti me back. All Europe was aware of M. Guizot's declaration, and no one, that we know of, took alarm at it then; it was considered quite natural that France, i n thi s question of marrying the Spanish Prince sses, should detend its old policy; and what is that w hi c h is taking place at present but M. Guizot's decl arat i on put in action ? Spain will not be less independent after the marriage of the Duke del Montpensier than she was antecedently, and that noble country may be trusted to reject all that can wound her rights and her honour. Only a foreign family will not take its place on the throne of the descendants of Philip V. Such is the dowry of the Infanta, and it is apparently this dowry which France is envied !" The Prince DE JOINVILLE has arrived at Toulon, and is expected in Paris on the 29th. The provinces are in the greatest distress on ac count of the scarcity of food. " We have unfortunately to record," says the Con stitutionnel, "a new rise in the price of grain. The general average price, which was in August 23f. 95e. per hectolitre, was in September 25f. lc., showing an increase of lf. 6c. Last month we had already noticed an augmentation of lf. 22e. The rise extends to every market of France, with the exception of those of Brit tany, where it has not materially varied.

DEATH OF SIR CHARLES WOLSELEY, BART.—This venerable Baronet expired on the 3d instant, at his seat Wolseley Hall, Staffordshire, aged 78. He was the head of one of our oldest Saxondarmlies, and during his long career had ever been the champion of the people and stanch advocate of civil and religious liberty and pro gress. His political connexion with Birmingham, and his consequent prosecution by the Government of th it day are still familiar. As a landlord, he was much be loved and respected. His title and estates devolve on his only son, the present Sir Charles Wo:seley, who married the daughter and co-heiress of the late Nicholas Selby, Esq., of Acton House and Biddlestone. The worthy Baronet also leaves two daughters, the eldest married to the Marquis de Lousada de San Miniato, and the youngest to Marmaduke Salvin, Esq., Burn Hall, Durham. THE HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT.—An inquest was held on Saturday, at the Weaver's Arms, John's row, Goswell-street, on the body of Mary Hopkins, aged 64, th e w if e of a sawyer, living at No. 7, Hull street, who was alleged to hare died from strangulated hernia, owing to improper treatment on the homoeopathic system. It appeared that Mr. H. P. Ree, the parish surgeon, had a t ten d ed and prescribed for the deceased, but that his medicines had been neglected, and Mr. Millard, a homoeopathic doctor, had administered to the deceased a portion of a white powder in water. Mr. Bee had intended to perform an operation. Mr. Ferran t, a surgeon, made a post mortem examination, and said he considered the conduct pursued by Mr. Millard highly improper. Mr. Bee had ceased to become responsible, or to act further, when his advice was interfered with. Verdict, " Natural death from strangulated hernia." SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY.—On Satur day, between five and six o'clock, the following frightful occurrence happened at Mr. W. H. Cox's, printer, of No. 5, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It ap pears that at the period alluded to George Heinson, a young man about twenty-three, in the employment of Mr. Cox, was engaged at work in the printing room, and in taking off the block of the inner cylinder he en deavoured to lay hold of the bar, when his hand got jammed in the machinery, and, but for timely ast,ist ance afforded, the most appalling coast quenecs must have ensued. The poor fellow, when extricated, was taken to King's College Hospital, and placed under the charge of Mr. Smith, the house-surgeon, who con sidered that amputation must be resorted to. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—We have this week seen in the garden of Captain 11. L. E. Gwynne, Pont garreg Cottage, a beautiful crop of green peas in full bearing. This and many other instances testify the mildness of the present season.—Carmarthen Journal. REDUCTION OF FARES ON THE LANCASTER LINE. —The reduction of the railway fares between Preston and Lancaster, is at last accomplished. The charges are now—first-class,: 45.; second, 2s. 6d.; third-class, Is. Bd. The public are indebted for this reduction to the new competition of the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail way Company, who have obtained the power of travel ling over the Lancaster and Preston Railway. This company have adopted at the onset a moderate scale of fares, which the old Lancaster and Preston Company, in self-defence, have been compelled to imitate. W e have now thirteen trains a day from Preston to Lan caster, and vice versa, instead of seven, as formerly, a n d the rare spectacle of two opposition companies on the same line.—Liverpool Mail.

Whatever may be the immediate tranquillity of British India and the surrounding territory, it ap pears to have but a very precarious tenure. Every succesaivectpacket of intelligence received from that quarter of Asia during several months past has but corroborated the preceding intimation of the probability of some extraordinary turbulence follow ing the present extraordinary quietude. Although the sanguinary and decisive victories achieved by our soldiers in the last memorable campaign have, to a considerable vtent, diminished the audacity, and mo derated the rapacity of the Seikhs and their imme diate neighbours, passions are still smouldering in their bosoms which the earliest opportunity will evoke, and which the smallest circumstance of encourage ment will precipitate. Nor is the character of the Government established at Lahore calculated in any measure to mitigate this predisposition to an outbreak; on the contrary, it is the discreditable nature of that Government which tends mainly to the nourishment of this execrable partiality for political disorganiza tion, and to a disrelish for everything save perpetual anarchy; When the flagrant debaucheries of Lam.

Sales 7,000 bales, including 2,000 American on speculation. The market is steady, without alteration in prices. The grain markets are stationary this morning at Mark-lane. The arrivals of wheat from Kent ars very large. Eater accounts have come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope to-day. The details will be found in another , column of The Sun. The quarterly general meeting of the iron masters is appointed to be held at Wolverhampton at noon to morrow. The state of the iron trade is one of consider able peculiarity. Aris' Birmingham Gazette thus re marks upon the subject:— " For some time a want of confidence, unanimity, and firmness has prevailed among those gentlemen who are accustomed to attend these meetings of the trade, arising from various causes, one of which is the very un scrupulous use made of the resolutions agreed to on such occasions by those who do not attend. In many instances it has been the practice of some parties to make use of the list of prices then made out, as a sort of beacon to which they must not aspire, but only approach within a respectful distance, accord ing to their influence and standing in the market. Thus one will fix his price at 10s., another at 205., and some even occasionally at 30s to 40s. less—offering, as an ex cuse, their inability to obtain customers at the same figure as Mr. Foster, Mr. Williams, or other houses of high standing; and as the grand tide of the march of intellect in the present day has set in so strongly to uni versal cheapness, no doubt, in times when the make of iron exceeds the demand, a serious interference with the customers of those who wish to uphold the prospects of the trade will be experienced. We are not on this oc casion about to investigate the other causes that operate so injuriously upon the interests of the Staffordshire ironmasters. That this is an evil, and a serious evil, none will deny, and it exerts a very considerable ten dency to counteract the benefits that accrue from the quarterly meetings. But we are happy to have an op portunity at the present moment of stating that the nuisance is on the decline, and that in very many in stances this dishonourable practice is altogether abandoned. This is the result of the ex isting and prospective relation between the de mand and supply, and we believe a greater simi larity has prevailed during the last month in the quota tions at which iron has been offered (if, indeed, that term may be used with propriety when the orders of regular customers can only be accepted) than has been known in Staffordshire for several years. The decision of the meeting at Dudley will have a tendency to in crease the unanimity and good feeling of all parties, and we cannot but congratulate the trade in general that such was the determination arrived at, more particularly as any advance which may appear eligible can be so much more easily effected at quarter-day." The new Stock and Share Market was opened this morning. It is in the rear of the Hall of Commerce. Not much business, however, appeared to be in progress. Money is said to be increasing in value in the City circles. The value of Wheat has not been raised higher to day than on Friday last. It appears from the contents of almost all the letters received from the continent this morning, that the prices of bread and provisions are upon the advance. The Funds have been flat this morning, with scarcely any business doing of interest. Console for the Account have been quoted 95f -, and precisely the same for Money. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is 15s. In the Foreigh Stocks the principal operations of the day have been in Brazilian, at 86} ; in the New ditto, at 85k; in Mexican, at 25; in Spanish, at 261; in the Three per Cents., at 37e I; and in Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., at 59i I. There is not any alteration of importance in the Railway Share Market to-day. Business is slack, and prices heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.
