The first night of the dramatic season was celebrated on the Ist just., by the production of a new gorgeous Hippo-dramatic spectacle of enchantment, in two acts, by Mr. St. Clair Jones, entitled The Bride of Golconda, or the Genius of the Ring. Without ranking so high as Peter the Great did last season in interest or effect, when it was produced with such signal effect under the admirably efficient stage-mauagement of Mr. Leclercq, and enhanced by the noble acting of Mr. Ryder, the new piece is one, nevertheless, that reflects considerable credit on the resources of the establishment. Amurath, the Sultan of Golconda (Mr. Maddocks), a potentate of lofty mien and glittering garb, after returning from the Ahairea, or Spring Hunt, in a thorough Astleian style of oriental magnificence, is smitten by a holy desire to make his tearful meditations at the tomb of his sainted sire. Whilst paying the tribute of affection at the mau soleum of the late respected Sultan, he is favoured by the apparition of the genius Syndarac, on his charmed steed. This excellent spirit, who presides over the destinies of the royal race, presents him with a mystic ring, which is to act as a monitor by inflicting digital p a in whenever he is about to misbehave himself. Nevertheless, despite its warnings, he allows him self to be so far infatuated by jealousy, raised in his breast by the villainous machinations of Hassan, his commander-in-chief (Mr. Dolman), who aspires to possess the fair Selina (Miss Fenton), the be trothed bride of Amurath, that, blinded by wrath, he attempts to stab her as she sleeps. Now, kings who are favoured by the visible friendship of beneficent genii, should pay due reverence thereto, or they are sure to smart for it; and the passionate prince, ere he can effect his sanguinary purpose, is suddenly transformed by the exasperated Syndarac into a hairy monster, a wild man of the woods, and transported into a savage region of rocks and torrents. Here he undergoes the enjoyment of being hunted by a strong posse of his subjects, horse and foot. Valiant is his resistance, and superhuman is his strength. " The misbegotten knaves" (not, however, in Kendal green) " let drive at him" in all quarters. Tearing up a sapling of the forest, he knocks them down by halt-dozens at a time, for at three fell swoops we wit nessed eighteen Paeans drop like nine-pins. Numbers, however, prevail, and after this tearing ohne ' which afforded exquisite pleasure to the spectators, the brutified Sultan is captured, and marched off to the royal mena gerie. During these mishaps, Hassan. who is an unmi tigated villain, plots to usurp the throne, now filled by Allbeg, the late Vizier, and father of Selina. All parties paying a visit to the menagerie, the carious proceedings of the monster awaken suspicions in the Princess, and greatly puzzle all the visitors. A tiger somehow gets loose, and would infallibly devour the Princess, who is left alone by the sudden flight of all the rest of the party, but the hairy man rushes on and strangles it. He is now considered to have expiated his misdeeds, and re appears in his proper form in time to suppress the war kindled by the traitor Hassan. This wretch had for merly made love to Zerliuda (Miss M'Lean), the daugh ter of Almalal (Mr. S. Smith), formerly a general in the Golconda army, but for some time an exile, who, by the way, comes in ver y good ti me t o h ea d t h e loyal troops. Zniinda, discovering his faithlessness and her rejection for the more eligible Selina, becomes duly infuriated, and with terrible denunciations (which were rapped out with an energy that made the house resound) is about to im molate her rival, when the übiquitous Genius interposes, s and eeur r occurred this wedo nnt catastrophe. preni se l y W hat recollect er, northeof is piece itof any this peculiar importance, for there is a delightful complexity in all the plots of pieces of this school that it would be rash t o seek too curiously to unravel. In the end, of course, the wicked Thersish and th e v i rtuous reap a tri umphant The proce ss i on in return spectaclethe i n s h a e s x e c , e t l h l e n n i t l l l y n i o n t a u t e p o . r eward. pyramid of lotus-light; the boundin g b a y a d eres an d l gardens of t h e hills, and the con fl agrat i on e ni torchlight hunt among the contemporary" ancient renown of Astleys in g bounding in all the s the , zebras, pomp city, are worthy of the glitteringh tn at t rs. with tis one, of the rainow, illustrated by q m u a o g t n h fi a m e n o c r e n! a n of eastern ro and horse, of and decorator and c e e v s e s r i y on n s n , in w n i r th in ele a p n h d a n n u ts t , the most effective scenery, machinery, finery, that the imagination of painter a conceive, and represented by actors ke the very utmost of all they have to d who do —and which and actressescorator can is the one essential quality in all acting —please their audience ns much as the moat exacting can desire." There is, according to custom, a brace of comic cha racters for the especial delectation of the gods, sustained by Miss Lydia Pearce and Mr. Johnson. The principal performers had . to re-appear b e f ore the curtain, which descende d amid great applause. The K piece • as perfectly successful, and is likely to run up to Christmas. GENERAL POST OFFICE, OCTOBER, lBs2.—lnforma. tion having been ri-ceived from the Norwegian post office, that the steam. packets between Norway and Denmarla will cease running at the close of this month, the mails from the United Kingdom for Norway will b( transmitted, on and from the 2nd proximo, by the way of Sweden. The rate of postage to be taken on letters to Norway will be one shilling and five-pence the half• ounce, and so on, according to the scale in operation in the United Kingdom for charging inland letters. This rate comprises both the British and fc;reig❑ postage on the letters to the place of their destination, and it may be either paid in advance er the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender, except, however, as regards registercd letters, the postage upon which, as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance.

To-day, at two o'clock, he was to be present at the Italian Theatre, to hear the performance of Sciatic, an eastern sym phony by MM. Theophile Gautier and E. Rever. Abd-el-Kader paid a second visit on Monday to St. Cloud, and rode out on an Arab horse with the Prince President in the Park for the space of about an hour. General de St. Arnaud was of the party. The Prince inquired of the Emir how his aged mother was at present? "During my captivity," replied the Arab chief, " my mother required a stick to support her step; but since my liberation, she has become younger, and can walk without any ex traneous aid." Yesterday Abd-el-Kader paid visits in Paris to several personages of note. Ile first went to see General Magnan, with whom he spoke of the French Army, its courage, and glory, and expressed a wish to see the manoeuvres at Vincennes. The general promised to give him notice when his wish could be gratified. The Emir afterwards paid visits to M. Fouid, Minister of State; M. de Persigny, Aliuister of the Interior; and the Archbishop of Paris. On leaving the archbishop he proceeded to the Hotel des Itaalidea, where, in the absence of the Marshal Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the gover nor, he was received by General Sauboul, and the. other officers of the establishment. He asked to see the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon, and ex claimed on viewing it, "This sepulchre, so great and so beautiful, is worthy of him whose immortal name tills the world; his mortal remains are here, but his glory is everywhere." He afterwards visited the infirmary, and said, "It is a cause of grief to me to think that any of these brave men should have been wounded by my followers ;,tut I was defending my country, and the French will pardon me when they think that I was an enemy worthy of them." The Emir then went to see the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, the Ministers of Finance and Marine, and the menagerie of M. Huguet de Mas sills. He admired exceedingly the courage of this latter individual, in entering the deds of the animals. " Never," said he, " since the timo of Daniel was such a tbing seen." A Paris letter, addressed to the Emancipation of Brussels, says : WINDSOR, Nov. 3. The following had the honour of dining with her Ma jesty yesterday :—The Duchess of Kent, the Duke and ll uchess of Nemours, the Prince and Princess of Hohen lobe Langenburg, the Princess Adelaide and the Prince Hermann of Holumlobe, the Marquis of Exeter, the Lady-in-Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, and the Right Hon. B. Dis raeli. RUSSIA. The Nouvelliste of Hamburgh, under date of Vi enna, `?9th ult., says :—The Sultan had given orders to Prince G-hika to compliment the Emperor Nicholas at Wossnesensk, but the Russian consul, by superior orders, refused his visa to the Prince. It is stated than the Russian government has rejected the protest of the Ottoman Porte against the declaration of in dependence by Montenegro. It is probable that all the European powers will take the seine view of the affair as Rus-ia. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duke of Nemours, went out shooting this morning, attended by Lieut-Col, the Hon. A. Gordon. _. The Marquis of Exeter and the Right Hon. B. Disraeli left the Castle to-day for London. The Earl of Eglinton has been invited, and is expected to arrive this afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty. The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, and tho Princo and Princess of Hohonloho Langenburg, drove out this afternoon in two open carriages and four.

"At the time of the return of Galena de Castel baj French Ambassador in Russia," says a Paris correspondent of the E manc ip a tion of Brussels, in a letter dated the Ist, "it was everywhere stated that the general would not return to his post., I put you how ever on your guard against this report, by saying that the Emperor of Russia !had demanded! through an iufluential personage, the maintenance of this dip lomatist at St. Petersburg. General Castelbajac, after an absnice of t.No months, sets off this very day for the Russian capital. Great importance is attached to this departure ; and, it is said, that M. de Kisseleff, the Russian minister, who left Paris at th 3 moment of the return of Louis Napoleon, may return here before the proclamation of the Empire." Colonel the , lion. Charles Grey and Lieut.• Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon were in attendance on horseback. Mr. Edward Simon; of Birmine,.ham, had the honour of attending at the Castle with his patent safety lamp, and other improved household lamps, for the inspection of his Royal highness Prince Albert. PRINCE ALBERT AT THINITY•HOUSE.—Yesterday, at 2 p.m., his Royal Highness Prince Albert visited Trinity-house, and was installed Master of the Trinity Corporation, in the room of the late Duke of Welling ton. The Prince wore the Trinity uniform. After taking the oaths and his seat, the Prince partook of a dejeuner with the members of the court, and having in spected the models, plans, and other objects of interest in the establishment, took his departure. Sir Robert H. Inglis had all interview with Sir John Pakington yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer returned to town yesterday from Windsor Castle. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, had an inter view with the Right Hon, Gentleman at his official resi dence in Downing-street. Mr Waddington, Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, arrived in town yesterday from the Deanery, Durham. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the West India colonies. Dispatches were also received yesterday from the Go vernor of Gibraltar. POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1853. The annual publication of this vast volume has come to be looked to as an essential and indisputable harbinger of the approaching year to the metropolitan inhabitants. It is certainly one of the most extraor dinary embodiments of industry and research that has ever issued from the press, or, indeed, we might say with justice, a compilation unequalled for the won derful accuracy and utility of its referential informa tion. With the incessant extension of the capital of Sir George and Lady Carroll will leave England on Monday next for Gibraltar, en route for Malaga, where they intend to pass the winter, oa account of the delicate state of Miss Carroll's health. the British Empire, the Post-office Directory keeps pace, omitting to record no necessary feature in any o G f r theeat e C n i o t y r m . ueNothing magnitude can h ty s r i o k n ing an dona s i da the e of the enormously-spreading ram ifi ca ti ons of the s 2 c o , 1 n o t () e n p t e s a mg of ebs ap t c h ree i d s s e w v n oti presents h u ai m nv t . ehwe ol T i fm h t i e .ht es m go a rf o p an , t pp hivera e r f i al x l e eo dlf popu lationgt roaimt nine miles by five, the angles being respectively occu pied by Stratford and Kilburn, by Greenwich and West Brompton. How different from the modern Babylon when the " Post-office London Directory" first appeared, at the close of the pas t century, for the present is the fifty-fourth annual pub lication of this authoritative work ! It is obvious that the present edition must be considerably the most copious that has yet been printed, but we can safely endorse the truthful statement in the Preface that, in the volume now lying before us, " the same at tention which has obtained for the Work the designa tion of " Handbook to the commerce of the first commercial city in the world," has been devoted to accuracy and appropriate classification." It is as usual found to consist of separate Directories, namely, the Official—the Street—the Commercial—the Trades'— the Law—the Court—the Parliamentary—the Postal —the City—the Conveyance—the Banking, and the Assurance Directories. You are sure to find the name of the householder, or man of trade or business, without any puzzling search, all emergencies being provided for by the clear and accurate subdivisions of these component parts. The exceeding accuracy, as well as comprehensive ness of the " Post Office London Directory " as a work of reference, is attested by not only its increasing circulation and its oracular character, but by the signal . failure of certain mischievous and active at tempts to damage its reputation, by the dissemination of false statements which have been most signally re futed. The Editors, who in their "Refutation," pub lished last January, made summary work of the grossly unfounded charges brought against their work, state, with a pardonable pride, that the shabbily hostile efforts. to injure its repute, have had an effect very different from that contemplated by Mr. P. W. Watkins's " Review," as manifested by the fact that several hundred more orders have been received for the Edition of 1853 than were ever obtained on the can vass for any previous Edition. Strict and minute accuracy must be the life and soul of such a com pilation ; and the general testimony accorded, by the business world, to the scrupulous care bestowed on rendering it a reliable guide through the gigantic labyrinth of London, is the surest and most satis factory proof of the rigid fidelity which characterizes its pages. That the work has been corrected throughout to the most recent period, and all possible emendations This being the customary period for effecting the re liefs of regiments serving in the Mediterranean, arrange ments have been made to send the service companies of the 31st and 57th Regts. from Ireland to Corfu, to re place the 41st and 47th which proceed to Malta, to re place the,:76th which proceeds to Nova Scotia, to replace the 97th which is to return home. The 48th and 71st Regts. proceed to !Corfu, to replace the 49th and 92d which proceed to Gibraltar, to replace the 44th which proceeds to Canada, so as to bring the 20th Regt. home. The 2d battalion Ist Foot proceeds from Cork to the lonian Islands, to replace the 30th Regt. which proceeds to Gibraltar, to replace the 26th which proceeds to- the West Indies, to replace the 34th which proceeds to Nova Scotia, to replace the 42d to come home. The 85th Regt. proceeds to Mauritius, to replace the 2d battalion 12th Foot sent from thence to the Cape of Good Hope. "It has already been said that Abd-el Fader had, without knowing it, turned the heads of several fe males; he must now be aware of it, for I have it from excellent authority, that however strange it may appear to your serious readers, particularly to the fair portion of them at Brussels, he every day receives re quests for audiences from some of the most charming women in Paris. Whether he is insensible to their appeal or not I dare nut say, but I should b 3 inclined to think not, from the following fact, for the truth of which I think I can vouch. A lady, well known is the world, for which reason I shall refrain from men tioning her name, lately passing near Amboise, solicited the favour of an audience of Abd-el-bider, which was granted. After a long conversation, the Emir charmed with her manners, offered her the strongest mark of confi dence, that of visiting his wives. The proposition was ac cepted, and the fair visitor was conducted to the depart ment used as the, seraglio. The sixteen wives of the son of the Prophet were lying about pell-mell on the carpet, enveloped in large shawls, or bournous, either sleeping or ruminating, for with the women of the East existence is confined to that. They never roused themselves from their torpor, at the most only turning their beads towards the stranger. One only among the number, and apparently the youngest, rose and cooly examined the dress, and particularly the rings of the lady, and then without utteriug a word, again seated herself in a corner. These women have the real Arab countenance ; they are ugly, and, if we may judge from this specimen, the Mussulman seraglios are the least attractive institutions of the Prophet. It is well known, however, that in Turkey there aro very strong excep tions to this fact. It is with this suite of companions that Abtl-el-Bader will repair to Broussa." A grand stag hunt took place on Monday in the forest of St. Germain, at which the Prince Presi dent, the Minister of War, several generals, and other persons of distinction were present. A deputation from the Costa Rica Company of London for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, consisting of E. Halswell, Esq., F.R.S., W. Martin, Esq., and Col. R. Wright Warren, has ar rived at Meurice's Hotel, and had several conferences with the Council of Surveillance on final arrange ments for carrying out this important object. M. de Sallandrouze has consented to accept the post of chairman of the jury which is to decide on the articles to be sent from France to the Industrial Exhibition in Dublin next year. The Government securities and railway shares again rose yesterdly.

Thus we find that the name of the late Duke of Wellington has been erased from the numerous offices he held, causing alterations in the following parts : Official Index, page 36 ; Chief Officers of State, page 38 ; Lord-Lieutenants, page 41 ; Privy Council List, page 42 ; Commander-in-Chief's Office, page 46 ; Tower of London, page 68 ; Trinity House, page 69 ; Street Directory, pages 474 ; Public Schools (King's College), page 1491; corrected in the Court Directory by omitting the titles, page 1747 ; and in Parliamentary, pages 1756 and 1771 ; and the following alterations consequent thereon, and occurring more recently, have been made : BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON ,STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 3, 1852.

Madrid papers of the 29th have been received, but they contain nothing of interest. A Madrid letter mentions a report that the minis try intends to present to the Cortes a bill of indem nity for all that has been done by the cabinet in the interval of the sessions; and, and another, containing an authorization for modifying the constitution ac cording to the circumstances in which Europe and the country might be placed if the Cortes was not sitting.

Earl Talbot's appointment as Naval Aide-de-camp to th e Q ueen is inserted at page 1770. The important alterations in the Inland Revenue Office caused by the removal of the Excise branch to Somerset House, are properly shewn at page 59. A small, but very important addition is the list of Chambers throughout the United Kingdom, given at page 18. The case is well worthy of its contents, in other words, this beneficent monster of a book is admirably , printed and got up. It is full bound in strong mo rocco, an excellent protection against the wear and tear which a volume in such constant use must un dergo, as well as a handsome ornament ;to the/ desk or table. In every respect the Post Office London Directory for 1853, reflects an augmented degree of credit ou the Messrs. NAV . , for the pains and cost they have for many years bestowed in producing an annual boon of such extreme utility and importance. The enlarged outlay necessarily attending the enlarged dimensions will, we feel assured, be amply covered by the greatly increased demand for a work of such ab solute necessity to thousands—a work truly national in its character, a monument of industry and energy, overshadowing all productions of a similar nature+ however praiseworthy, that have ever yet been launched into notoriety. It is, in truth, an unex ampled volume. GERMANY. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Munich, 30th ult. :—" The news that negotiations had been opened between M. Prokesch d'Osten and the Baron de Manteuffel, in order to come to an ar rangement on the customs' question, has been already contradicted. We now learn that no one State of the coalition has sought to come to any understand ing with Prussia, who on her side has allowed the matter to rest in statu quo. It is, however, certain that the allies of Darmstadt have fixed on the follow ing points relative to the conferences of Vienna:-1. the allied States will ratify the project of Vienna, letter C, on the Ist January, 1854 . They will enter into a customs' union with Austria. 2. The path to a reunion with Prussia will remain open. 3. The resolutions which shall be adopted will not be con sidered as definitive, unless Prussia, before the Ist of January, 1854, shall not show herself disposed to accede to the conditions which the coalition had made at Berlin. There are also other points, but they are less important." A letter from Vienna states, that the hereditary Grand Duke of Russia and his wife will pass the win ter in that capital. His Majesty the Emperor bas been graciously pleased to confer on Baron James Rothschild, the Royal Imperial consul-general and head of the banking-house at Paris, the order of the Iron Crown of the second class. The Lloyd Steam Navigation Company has pur chased several steam-boats, barques, and materials, which formerly belonged to the firm of Perelli and Paradise, which has hitherto maintained the steam navigation of the Po. The different garrisons of the monarchy have, by order of the Emperor, held military funeral services. They were everywhere conducted on the plan of that held at Vienna, and similar to what would be per formed for a native Austrian military field-marshal. The Duke of Wellington, however, being a Pro testant, the other religious parts of the ceremony are of course omitted. At Venice 4000 men were drawn up in grand parade. The officers wore crape round their left arm, and the flags of the men of war were balf-mast high. • ITALY. Theßisorgimento of Turin of the 31st ult. states that the ministerial crisis there has not :yet by any means received a so l u ti on . It appears that Gaierals Dabo rm id a and Lamarmora, Baron M ann° an d Count Revel, have all declined the offers rnade to them; and it was rumoured that Count Balbo bad already resigned his new powers into the hands of the King in consequence. The Turin correspondent of the Official Savoy Ggzette states that Count Bann , has only ac cepted office on the express condition that the Predmontese Constitution be maintained in its integrity. The greatest clifficulty is the dispute with Rome. The Pope, •svho, it is said, is disposed to acknowledg e the Siccardi law and the abolition of ecclesiastical privileges, will not consent to the Civil Merriam, Bill ; and the mission of the new minister, whoeve r he is, must be to settle matters with Rome. The: :following list is circulated in well-informed circles :;--Balbo, Foreign T HE CHARGE OF ADULTERY AGAINST THE VICAR OF DUSTON.—In Consequence cf the Rev. R. H. Cox, vicar of Duston, N ort h am pton, having been charged with adultery with Mrs. Mary Ann Mouton, a court of inquiry was appointed, upon Mr. Cox's petition, to exa mine into and report upon the charge. Tho RFT. W. Waters, vicar of All Souls', rho Rev. F. F. Trotmore, the Rev. J. P Lightfoot, the Rev. Dr. Morton, and the Rev. 11. D. Saumarez, were appointed commissioners, and during three days last week held their investigation in All Saints' Church, Consistory-court, Northampton, the Rev. W. Waters, chancellor of the diocese, presiding. After a most rigid inquiry, the commissioners gave the following judgment We openly and publicly declare that there is not sufficient prima facie ground produced for instituting further proceedings. The whole inquiry with :the judgment, was on Monday laid before the Bishop of Peterborough, who fully approved the same. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 4, 1852. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday, Mercy Steer, a young female, only 17 years of age, of delicate frame, inanimate expression, and evidently labouring under severe indisposition, was charged, at Lambeth Police-office, with the infanticide of her female child, of which she had been delivered, and with its subsequent mutilation, under the most frightful and appalling circumstances. The prisoner was without professional assistance. The first witness called was Mrs. Elizabeth Whitby, a married lady, re siding with her husband, at No. 12, James's -terrace, Commercial Road, Peckham, who deposed that the pri soner came into her service on the 28th September last. On the 20th of October, she told witness that she felt very ill, and that as the place did:not agree with her, she thought she had better go home. On complaining of her illness she said she had got a severe cold. The witness consented to her leaving the service, and accordingly on the day last mentioned she went away, stating that she was going to Billinghurst, Sussex. The prisoner was then very ill, and witness, commiserating [with her, sent a boy to assist her in carxying her box to the omnibus to take her into the Borough. The witness bad not seen her from that time to the present day. During the month she resided with the witness, she (the wit ness) had no suspicion that the prisoner was in the family way ; but some friends having made some re marks about her, the witness told her that she thought she was in the family way; that she had spoken to a coc tor about her, and asked the prisoner if she would go with her to see him. Witness made this offer thinking it would induce her to tell the truth. The prisoner replied, " Oh, dear, no ma'am, nothing of the sort," and expressed her readiness to accompany witness to the doctor. This satis fied witness at the moment, and she said no more to the prisoner about it. On Saturday. the 19 - h of October, about half-past nine, the prisoner lighted the fire and pre pared the breakfast. After the witness had breakfasted she called to the prisoner, and found her in , her bed room, lying on the bed. She stated that she was not well, but that she would be better presently. The wit ness inquired where she felt the pain, and she replied in her back, and that she had often felt it before. The witness observed to her that she did not like the appearance ; that it was more like a married wo man's feeling than any thing else, and again asked her if she should like to see a medical man ? The pri soner cried, and said she should not like to see one. The witness then left her, and at about twelve o'clock she came down stairs and said she was much better. Wit ness made her some gruel and told her to keep quiet. Nothing more was said until the following Monday even ing, when the prisoner complained that her legs ached very much. Witness ordered her to bed, but she did not go until half an hour afterwards. The next day she went away as already described by witness. On Tues day, the 26th alt., Serjeant Qainnear came to the witness's residence, and then the prisoner's bed-room was examined for the first time, and on taking up the carpet by the side of her bed, the under side of it was found to be very much stained; the floor under it was also stained, but had been washed. The prisoner left behind her a pair of boots, one of which on examination was also found to be stained. The serjeaut then came down stairs with witness, and they proceeded to the water closet. There the witness saw Quinnear find, thrown into the soil of the:cesspool, the body of a child, cut into several pieces, which he took away. To complete the depositions it was found to be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Flower, the police surgeon, who had examined the body ; and for that purpose the prisoner was remanded till a future day. SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXLI. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING. During the last week or two fate seems to have de creed that my views, with respect to the results of the great races, and a few of the lesser ones, should be com pletely nullified. The steeple chases at Worcester, yes terday, fully exemplified this; for Proceed, my particu lar selection for the Grand Annual Steeple Chase, while running very forward in the race, and looking a winner all over, at the second jump out of the moors, on landing, could not maintain his footing, rolled over, and was instantly out of the race. My principal selection for the Selling Steeple Chase, Fazeley, although at Worcester, did not start for either of his engagements; the horse whom I had named as next best to him—the Greatbeart gelding—was brought to a stand still suddenly, by get ting his foot in a grip, and came down a burster, by which all chance of his winning was annihilated. At the time he fell he was, to all appearance, the winner in a canter. For the Hurdle Race, I gave the General and Fazeley as likely occupants of the first and second places; it was found, however, that the General had had quite enough of it in his race of Tuesday, and in the steeple chase, and, consequently, did not start. Fazeley, as I before remarked, though in the vicinity of the course, did not make his appearance there, for some un fathomable reason or other. My remark that Tomboy was their principal opponent was verified by the race, as he beat his field of seven, including Dr. Husband and Harriet, in very clever style. The race for the Grand Annual Steeple Chase, after Proceed had been disposed of by his fall, and Chieftain had met with an accident, was never in doubt, as the General was much too fast for the Reiver and Quickstep, and Rat-traps chance had been thrown away by cutting ou t the work for his stable companion. The General's victory was accomplished by three lengths. Chieftain is said to be so seriously dam aged that he will have to b e shot. Archer, his jockey, escaped unhurt. The sport provided by Mr. Dorling, of the hybrid class, to come off to-morrow at Epsom, consists of the Scramble Steeple Chase —a two mile run; the Durdan's Plate—a three-quarters of a mile spin; the Free Handi cap Hurdle Race ; and the . Epso!:n Autumn Steeple Chase. The last-named —which will be run over the usual steeple chase cotrse, about four miles—will, in a ll probability, be con tested b y Peter Simple, Victress, Y o ung Lott , ry, the Screw, Annie Laurie, and Forest L a d the General , the Reiver, and Maria Monk, ma y a l so ru n, but their exercise in the mud at Worcester yoster day, must prove a serious arawback to any c h ance th e y ma y possess. Sir Peter Laurie, whether ho runs or not at list 81b, can have no chance of running. I am not over-confident of Peter Simple starting ; but if he runs he ought to win with ease. Victress will probably run we ll; and Young Lottery will, no doubt, be a candidate for the third or fourth place. The owner of the Screw has, I think , a fair chance thia time of landing his horse a winner. Ten and Sixpence and Rinf_leader, whether runne rs or otherwise, are of no consequence. Ann:e Laurie is made safe by several others. Forest Lad will probably represent Mr. Higgin's interests. As I before remarked, if Peter Simple runs, I think be will win; in his absence the race will probably lie with Victress, Young Lottery, the Screw, and Forest Lad, the lot not unlikely finding their way home in the order named. J. B. (Melton)—l am not aware of th e exact time that nungerford was scratched for the Cambridgeshire stakes; but thus much I do know, that ho was struck out some time beforo nine o'clock on Monday evening the 25th ultimo. THE SMUT OF TUE TURF. :'^':, 4 .~ }- I~ %~' THE AUSTRALIAN:II4M'I*, MELBOtfitY4o,42' I EAAfER •• _8 •• , Nov. 3. By the Peninei4? \: ntat . .),,pany's steam ship Madrid, CaptitKakt...'4 e have received intelligence of the arrival at Lisbon, on the 24th tilt., of the Australian Royal mail screw steam-ship Mel bourne, dismasted and looking badly. Several of the passengers of this ill-starred ship, who could afford to risk the loss of their passage money, have come home in the Madrid. The Melbourne, after being once:dismasted during her passage from the Thames to Plymouth, which caused a considerable delay at that port for the pur pose of refitting, and after having sustained some damage in endeavouring to leave Hamoaze by a col- Ii iun with two of her Majesty's vessels in that har bour, which necessitatcd a second detention for re h, ire, finsliy started from Plymouth on the 15th with the Australian mails, a large number of pasaen gers, a valuable cargo, and specie to the value of nearly 200,0001. sterling. What befell her shortly after this inauspicious commencement of her employ ment in the Australian mail service will he gathered irom the subjoined account, with which we have been furnished by one of the passengers:— "We left Plymouth on the afternoon of the Isth of October, and, with a fine lair wind, ran at the rate of 0 ;',0 mi:es per day up to the 19th; on that day we had a rather high spa on the side, which cauxed the ship to roll rnuch. About 11 o'clock Captain Cox retired to his cabin, having written his night orders and sent them to the officer in charge of the watch. The night w as fine, knd a fresh breeze blowing. A little after 12 I felt the ship give a sudden roll or jerk, arid soon heard a cry luckily, few of th e pas stehnagt e a r l s l ,i, th .e e re to t p in ma d s e t e s k w , e o r r e g s o o n m e e ; dreadful accident must have cceurred. " flurrying on deck, a sad scene presented itself; . the whole of the topmasts were overboard except the =ten one, which was lying on the quarter-deck; the jibhoom was gone, and, in fact, nothing standing but the three lower masts and yards. " The ship was rolling heavily and very much over on the right side, owing, I supp ose , t o the wreck hanging there, and which was thumping against the sides sadly. As the day broko we discovered a sail, and our captain ordered a signal to be made, and soon after two small vessels bore towards us, and the captain asked them to stand by us, which they did. Everybody was now em ployed cutting and clearing away the wreck, and about the middle of the day, the 20th, it was got clear; but, unluckily. the whole mass became entangled round the screw. The engines, which up to now had been going, then suddenly stopped, and then, indeed our situation was very bad, as all the wreck being fast OR to the stern, and at times beating against the rudder, made it almost impossible to steer the ship. ,‘ An attempt was now made to raise tho screw, but failed, and men were then sent with long knives and hatchets lashed on poles to try and cut the wreck from the screw. Some of the stuff was detached, but still a considerable quantity was wound firmly round the screw. " The captain now determined at every risk to try and raise the screw, and after about 12 hours' excessive la bour, and with the assistance of a large number of the passengers, it was got up high enough to cut away the ropes from it, and about midnight of the 20th it was clear. " 'rho engines were now set on, and as the ship did not leak we continued our voyage—the ship in a sad plight. Our misfortunes were not yet over, as you will see, for on the following day a leak was discovered in the mail room. The bags were brought on deck, and many of them were found to be soaked, and some of the parcels also wet through. _ " The officer 7 m charge of the mails new sent for the captain, and after some conversation we found the ship turning round, and were soon informed that Commander Phillimore had requested Captain Cox to return to Lisbon to stop the leak. " Wo at lasi got into the Tagus on the 24th, and glad enongh were we to find ourselves once more at anchor. What is to be our fate we hardly know, but we hear b,%t notwithstanding our captain was requested to como he ro to stop the leak we are not to go into dock. So sa) • s the commander of the Inflexible, who, it appears, h as oonio power over our captain, in consequence of the ma il s being on board. Be this as it may, we hope Cap will not leave thi s p or t w i thout seeing his un ship put into pr o p er or d er, cons i dering the tfoarintli Cna, number o f souls, about 253 besides the valuable cargo he has under his charge. "And noN to another point. The state of the lower, or passengers deck of this ship has been truly awful. There has not been a dry bed from one end to the other; there are a great many of the passengers very ill. A re presentation has been made to the captain on the sanitary condition of the ship, but in her present crowded state it is almost impossible to say how any improvement can be made, unless the captain has the power to send one fourth of the number back to their friends. " Messrs. Charles Walton and Sons, of Gracechurch street, are the agents for the company, and this ship of unfortunate celebrity." Iu reference to the disasters which have fallen upon the Melbourne, our Lisbon correspondent writes as tol lows : " Nothing can be more distressing than the position of ' the unfortunate passengers of the Melbourne, or more diffi , cuit than that of Captain Cox, who, having put into this port in consequence of a leak, is now required by the officer in charge of the mails to proceed upon his voyage to Australia without docking his vessel to examine the leak, which, being of so much consequence when the vessel was rolling about in the ocean, is now declared by Captain Wolrige, of her Majesty's steamer Inflexible, to be nothing at all, because the Melbourne makes little water whila at anchor, or even under steam, in the placid waters of the Tague. In A:ort, the officer in charge of the mails, who required tLe Melbourne to put into Lisbon in consequence of the 1". k., which soaked bis mail bags, now orners her to sea aga o as soon as his cabin is dry; but in the face of the o ffi c i i , 1 survey made by the officers of this Arsenal, in the presence of Lloyd's agent, declaring that the Mel bourne I Tiust be unloaded or docked, it is fortunate for the 253 p ussengers and crew that the probable forfeiture of the insu ranee upon above 200,0001. of specie on board (were the rders of Captain Wolrige and the officer in charge of Oa mails to be followed) will prevent the vessel again a ttempting her unlucky voyage until some thing has bee.o done to remedy her more dangerous defects. "I am told this Government has most handsomely offered Captain C'ox the use of the Arsenal-dock, and that the deposit of mud is now being cleared away from its entrance to admit the Melbourne's draught of water, so that sho will bo docked in the course of a few days, and probably before her masts and rigging can be put in proper repair. Thus no time will be lost with her 1 Majesty's mails, while some little care is taken of the lives of her subjects. " It seems incredible that this vessel should bare boon ce,nt out from England upon such a voyage, and with a [ nilinber of passengers so far exceeding all means of ac coin modation prepared for them. Many return t h o om do e by Ito present packet, and others would be f ifl • 1 money, which steam companies are seldom. so if .they could afford to run the risk of for eitmgtheir passel,•t the increased into numereus in clined o e l refund; they have held almost daily meetings, and split per plexity oi' vessel ready for sea as well as to do more than got his .
