Rzdical Reformers must now be on the alert from one extremity to the other of the United Kingdom. They must keep a watchful eye upon the course pur sued by the present Ministry immediately upon the assembling of the Imperial Parliament. Hitherto the country has continued almost uninterruptedly in the dark as to the intentions of the DERBY Administra tion. Indeed, time was requisite, in the first instance, to enable the new Cabinet to decide itself upon the precise policy advisable in a Government so hastily formed and prematurely organized. Had the Earl of DERBY calculated beforehand upon the probability, or even upon the possibility, of his being Prime Minis ter of England as early as last February, he would, doubtless, have been prepared to submit at once to his colleagues a series of measures suitable to the emergency, if not a complete cut-and-dried scheme for carrying on the affairs of the British Empire. As it was, he was literally surprised into power—called abruptly back to town by the commands of his SOYERBIGN, and compelled to collect together the requisite number of statesmen within the limits of an anxious and agitated fortnight. The Whigs had retired suddenly in a huff, A coolness had sprung up between Lord Joule RUSSELL and Viscount PALMERSTON. The latter had seen himself hurriedly, and even, we cannot but still think, most discourteously displaced at the Foreign-office by the Earl of GRANVILLE. Matters dragged on " much as usual" for a little time in the Lords and the Com mons, when, unexpectedly, a single bolt thrown by the hand of the exiled CUPID carried dismay and confusion into the Councils of the Ministerial JUPITER. The still dominant Reemier found himself stricken by the prompt and startling vengeance of the ex -Foreign Secretary. Scaroely had the printers to the House of Commons struck off the first I; proof" of the division-list upon the Militia Bill, when Lord Joss announced to his colleagues his determination to resign, and that immediately. The downfall of the Whig Cabinet, therefore, although confidently looked forward to at the time as speedily inevitable, was recognized upon all hands as at that Instant an event entirely unanticipated. Surprised the nation was by the occurrence—surprised even Was the majority of the Legislature—but her MAJESTY must have been still more so, by an incident which placed her for a while in some anxiety as to the consequences. Everybody recollects no doubt that the Royal suunnons was obliged to follow the Earl of Dearer from his town mansion to his residence in the country, whither he bad gone only a few hours before, little dreaming of what was " looming in the future," in the shape of honours and responsibilities. Thereupon came the hurryings to and fro the inquiries and cros s -inquiries, the propositions and the refusals, the interview.; at this moment with the Earl of ABERDEEN, and at that with the ex Chancellor i i rspsuasr—in fact all those impromptu delibera tions which ended at lest i n th e announcement of a n .wl . y organized Government. Everything indicated t h e haste with which the whole arrangements were driven to a conclusion—nothing s h ow i ng it more clearly then the circumstance that the new P rime in order to carry i nto effect Minister was comp elled, his unrehearsed ente r p rize, to crowd wit hin a single Gazette the unprecedented number of no less than eighteen fresh Privy Councillors! After this, of course, the nation had to wait pa. tiently until the DEBBY Cabinet had decided upon the exact nature of the policy which it would be ne cessary for them sooner or later to submit to the ac ceptance of the Legislature. Several of the more eager spirits on the side of the Opposition grew restive under the delay, becoming noisy, grid even to our THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1852. NEWMARKET RACES.

Criterion Course Guy Mannering Old Rowley .. Woodlark thinking sometimes factious, in the expression of their hostility upon the occasion (each more irritating than its immediate predecessor) of every successive, but really, under the circumstances, unavoidable, postpone ment. Against this factious display of animosity we, ' for one, raised our voice from the very outset, and that, too, it may be remembered, rather frequently. We saw that it was unfair, under the pressure of so great an emergency. 'We saw that some procrastina tion was inevitable in order to enable her MAJESTY'S Ministers to arrange their order of tactics with any thing like decent deliberation. Occasionally we ob tained a tantalizing glimpse of the probable views of the Administration. We discovered at length that Pro tection was upon all sides at first virtually and at last practically abandoned. We perceived clearly enough that the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues were not very long before arriving at the conclusion that the Free-trade system was one in all respects thence• forth inviolable. Added to this there were promises thrown out at intervals by the Cabinet of intended reforms, some of them of considerable importance, in preparation. Mr. DISRAELI gave us the hope of large and beneficial changes in the scheme of taxation. Mr. WALPOLE intimated pretty plainly that the Mi litia might in some measure become in a manr. er popularized. Lord JOHN MANNERS revived our wishes of something really resembling a wholesome effort at sanit►ry improvements. Lord St. LEO NARDS opened up the prospect of sweeping innovations in the practices of the Court of Chancery, innovations such as might have saved the lives of a dozen GRIDLEYS and the in tellects of more than one Miss ELITE, making per petual Christmas on the hearth of Bleak House, car rying perrenial joy into the Growlery, and even guarding from the east wind our good, honest, sensi tive, benevolent, "Cousin JARNDYCE." Under these auspices, Ministers went to the country immediately upon the dissolution of Parliament—and still under these auspices, they will in a few days present them selves before the newly-elected representatives. At such a crisis, it behoves the Radical Reformers throughout the United Kingdom—we repeat it ad visedly —to keep a watchful eye upon the course pur sued by the Administration. At such a crisis, more -1 over, every straw thrown into the air—even though it be thrown up by the heels of a devourer of thistles— becomes an object of curiosity, and in some sort also, it may be at times, a matter of importance. Two or three of these straws have been fluttering within the last few days in the political atmosphere, and show, we fancy, clearly enough in what quarter the wind blows, There was the annual meeting of the Agri cultural Association held on Friday last, at Lough borough. There was the dinner given at the Bull's Head, after the morning's inspection of the show, with Mr. PACKS as chairman, and we don't know who as croupier. There were the speeches when the cloth was whisked away by the Ganymedes at half-a crown a-head, in pumps and white neckcloths. Above all, there was the oration delivered to the assembled farmers by the Marquis of GRANBY, in his capacity as body-stretcher to Protection. " Close up its eyes, tie up its chin ;" as the Poet Laureate says of the old year. " Call for Shillibeer, and let them carry it out, and bury it decently." The thing is dead—there is no mistake about it, any more than there was about the death of Jacon MARLEY—dead as a door-nail, or, as Mr. DICKEN'S suggests, "as a coffin•nail," as being, perhaps of all, decidedly the deadest article of iron mongery. Yes ! the thing is dead, and the Marquis of GRANBY probably feeling himself called upon for a song—rises gravely in the presence of the dessert, and solemnly chaunts the De Profundis. A gentleman, benevolently disposed, called BENET, rose, we cannot but think, some what humanely after this rather unconvivial per formance, and endeavoured by his jocularity to dissi pate the influence of the dirge. After drawing a humorous picture of the so-called sufferings of the landed proprietors when contrasted with those of the middle-class agriculturists, he added that " he thought, however, they had now passed the worst, and in any case his advice to the tenant farmers was not to look back." Mr. Faarluaxt had previously expressed a hope that he should not be regarded as too sanguine in congratulating the agricultural interests on the late harvest, and upon their brightening prospects. The truth is, the sticklers for Protection are trying to put a decent face upon its abandonment, and are fixing their attention more sedulously than has been hitherto their wont upon those visions of improve ment which are already " looming in the future," ac cording to the assurance of the Right lion. Gentleman till CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Among these on-coming changes for the better, even the Marquis of GRANnY perceives the speedy and inevitable discontinu ance of the Income-tax—of all taxes the most unjust and the most unpopular. While our friends the agri culturists are thus perking up their hopes by way of anticipation, surely the Radical Reformers should not just now be looking onward with a a glance of indifference. It is advisable, on the contrary, that we should now begin to watch with eager and unwink ing vigilance the nature of the policy about to be disclosed by the leaders of the present Government. We are very marvellously mistaken, or we shall be enabled to obtain more from them in six months than we were enabled to obtain during six long years of Whig Administration. At any rate—nous verrons— brief interval will now solve the mystery of the Cabinet : and " Watch," is our advice, in one word, to the great mass of Liberals or Radical Reformers. A few years ago Lord BROUGHAM died by report. His Lordship's carriage wheel broke, and his Lord ship's head shared the same fate. It was evening when the rumour arrived ; next morning all the papers were filled with Brougham panegyrics. The journal which had but recently lashed him unmerci fully, with English good feeling spoke as kindly as the rest. Lord BROUGHAM enjoyed the unusual good fortune to read his own funeral orations in his lifetime, and they were flattering ones. Not so will it be should the defunct Convocation return to life. With but few exceptions, it would find itself denounced in no measured terms. Its harmless ghost, at its yearly appearance, has been annually smiled at as the image from a magic lantern; but the very rumour of re storing that ghost to ecclesiastical life has called forth as many anathemas, as the rumour of Lord BROUGHAM'S death called forth encomiums. Ana themas we should think almost sufficient to lay the poor harmless ghost for ever—certainly sufficient to deter it from attempting to live again on this ungrate ful earth. We believe Lord DERBY is thankful enough for all this hubbub about Convocation. That he ever wished to advise her MAJESTY to set that body to work, or rather to talk, again, nothing but his own assertion will persuade us. Hence, we feel assured that he is as pleased as the majority of Englishmen are, to wit ness the nearly universal reprobation with which the very mention of the project has been received by the press. The reputed Tory organ of the Government denies that any such advice was ever tendered, or even thought of by Lord DERBY ; and repeats the denial, attributing the origin of the rumour to a Stock-Exchange wager. Another journal, a Liberal one, asserts that the Primo Minister and his colleagues have nearly come to the determination to offer the deprecated advice, but that they have not yet dared to do so, and that it is known to be offensive at Court. The great oracle does little more than expose and denounce the folly and impossibility of the thing. For ourselves, we pretend to the knowledge of no Cabinet secrets; we only presume that Lord DERBY is guided chiefly by English common sense, applied t o his own political position. He may have a lean ing to the High-Church party, for he broke with the Whigs on the Appropriation Clause, and his appoint ments look that way. The much-to-he-regretted tam pering with the Educational Minutes, points also in the same direction. But whether he himself be a High Churchman or not, it is clear that he may as naturally deem it his political interest to court that party, as Lord JOUN RUSSELL deemed it his interest to court the opposite party. His accession to power was welcomed by that section of the Church ; they have done their beat for him at the elections ; they conferred upon him the honour of the Chancellorship of Oxford; and with all these indications of willingness to render him cordial support, and all these favours to repay, it is natural he should wish to do all in his power to retain their support. Now we all know how strenu ously the High Church party desire self-government ; they have openly claimed it ; they tried to introduce it to the notice of Parliament; they have even sum.. mooed abortive Diocesan Synods, having the aspect, and the sispssss! only, of real Ecclesiastical Councils. Nothing, assuredly, would more rejoice the hearts of the impetuous H. EXETER, and the more smooth tongued S. OXFORD, than to see themselves prominent debaters in an Upper House of Convocation, with their faithful proctors in full cry in the House below. But no, your Lordships, it must not be. Mr. A. G. DENISON, it must not be. Lord DERBY will be very urbane to yeu,—he is a gentleman and a politician, and will not affront his supporters ; but he is a states man also, and he will not complicate public business, increase his Parliamentary difficulties, and endanger the Church, by allowing you to meet in Convocation. If your request should come before the QUEEN, the advised reply of her MAJESTY will certainly be, not, La Reine le veut, but La Reine s'avisera. We have not ourselves noticed the matter before. Our contemporaries all seemed to think more seri ously of it than we did, and possibly they were right. If they were so, however, we frankly confess that it will lower very much, indeed, our estimate of Lord DERBY'S statesmanship. Much as we of course dif fer from him, we have never doubted his sincere at tachment to our Constitution, as it stands, in Church and State. Now, we certainly hold that to resusci tate a body which was interred so long ago as 1717, and to convert the annual formality into a reality, would be tantamount to creating another estate. An estate too, holding the purse-strings of an income equal, taking all things into account, to nearly half the sum raised by the nation for civil and military purposes! Such an imperium in imperio, no sane Minister would or could endure. No; the Convoca tion zealots have now heard the plain truth told them, that if they wish to be self-governed they must also be self-supported. If they want this privilege of the Voluntaries, they must make the sacrifices of the Voluntaries. National property and national con trol must go together. It has done so ever since the Reformation, and while the nationally- endowed Church of England stands, they must continue to go together. We believe, however, that not only the Court, as is generally rumoured, but the large majority of the clergy, and most certainly of the laity, are utterly op posed to the revival of Convocation. They all know enough of its history, from the Reformation to the reign of Queen Anne, to relish the restoration of such scenes of theological pugilism. They remember that amongst its dying speeches were bitter things against the very worthy Bishop HEADLEY, and an express denial that religious liberty seas a civil right! Indications in plenty appear, that now, as of old, it would be a polemical, pugnacious, and intractable body. The two great parties who now divide the Church would conte n d w ith the bitt e r es t exas peration. Their common faith would be scandalized in the eyes of the whole nation ; and could either of them be suffered to have their way,—were the Evangelicals allowed to revise the Liturgy, or the Tractarians to expurgate the inconvenient Articles, then, of course, must come the secession, after which the State Church would quickly cease to exist. All moderate men, and real friends to the Church, perfectly com• prebend this ; and they, luckily for the bigots, will prevent their committing ecclesiastical suicide. We have indeed observed, as a general thing, that of all assemblies, none are less capable of regular business, none more given to endless debate, than meetings of clergymen. Whoever has had the misfortune to be one of any committee in which ministers of any de nomination predominated, must have painfully felt how impossible it was to get on with work. Their professional avocations habituate them rather to dic tation than discussion, to defend every shade of opinion where none can contradict them, rather than to modify their views by conference with their equals. Had we to devise a convocation of persons likely to advise any really useful reforms, we should certainly expect more from an assembly of pious and intelligent laymen than from one of clergymen. It is, we be lieve, however, happily needless now to protract our remarks, and to reiterate half the objections which might be made against what will never be attempted ; and what probably had never any existence except in the imaginations and hopes of a zealous knot of eccle siastics. The Morning Herald, indeed, professes to give the whole history of the plot, and denounces it on behalf of Lord DERBY as a reckless endangering of his position. Whatever the origin of a report so con venient for those who wanted something to write about, we can only repeat our conviction that the Premier himself is guiltless of its fatherhood. ABOLITION OF WRITS OF INQUIRY.—There is a provision in the Common Law Procedure Act which will go far towards the abolition of writs of inquiry in the superior courts. Hitherto it was necessary in a number of actions to execute writs of inquiry, which, as a matter of course, in. creased the expense of the procee‘lings. - Under the new Act however, judgment can be obtained after the issuing of the writ, where the writ is specially endorsed, showing the amount to be recovered. According to the 94th section of the statute, whenever the damages to recover money or a liquidated demand can be reduced to a matter of calcula• tion, they are to be ascertained before one of the Masters, by virtue of which authority writs of inquiry will not be re quired. LONDON AND PROVINCIAL JOINT STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.—The sixth annual general meeting of the shareholders was held, yesterday, at the offices of the company, 17, Gracechurch-street—Mr. J. Jones in the chair. The report and accounts having been read by the Secretary, were, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Capt. T. Smith, and adopted unanimously. The vacancies in the direction were filled up, and the meeting then separated. THE CITY CHARlTlES.—Yesterday, the Lord Chief Baron, with Aldermen Challis, Sidney, Lawrence, and Wire, held a court of investigation into the administration of City charities. The clerk of the Leather-sellers' Company was called, and proved that the company had to administer Robert Rogers' charity, amounting to 2001., and to pay 41. a year to poor prisoners in the City. The company had not done so. Since 1825 no payments had been made to such prisoners, except on special application. The charity was Chancery. The company a l so a d m i n i stered a charity called George H um bl e ' s c h ar i ty, t h e i nterest of which was 81. a year. This Charity was also in the Court of Chancery. Since 1835 no part of the interest arising from the charity had been paid to poor prisoners (the objects of the charity), except in 1842, when 31. was paid to a freeman who had made a special application. He had not been able to examine the state of the accounts as between the company and the charity, nor had they been made up since 1835. Monies had been paid to the keepers of the prisons and particular applicants, but he could not say how much. lie had not the books of the company with him. The company was ready to pay up any arrears that might be due to the charit. There was a charity administered by the company called Garner's Charity. That charity was also in Chancery. By a scheme made by the Master, one-third of the annual proceeds was to go to poor prisoners, but that had not been done. The recipients of the third were widows, but he could not give their names. The court thought this a very strange and unsatisfactory statement, and passed on to the management of the Mercers' Company, which appeared to be of a much more favourable character. THE FALLEN HOUSES AT BAYSWATER.—We have received the following further particulars respecting the houses, which, as we mentioned yesterday, fell at an early hour on Sunday morning in that neighbourhood. A fur ther portion of the outer wall came down with a tre mendous crash at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when a boy who was passing from out of the vestry of the adjoining church into the house of the Rev. Dr. Magee, had a narrow escape of his life ; large portions of the brickwork falling down just behind him as he entered the door. A further portion fell yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, including a large portion of the third house, and almost all the timber-work of the interior. Consequently, now there is only a mere shell standing, and the downfall of this portion is hourly expected : in its present state it is ex ceedingly dangerous to the passers by. We find, upon inquiry, that the houses in question do not belong to Mr. Watts, of the Edgware-road, as we stated yesterday, but to a poor man named Wheeler, who was erecting them a s hi s fi rs t speculation in house-build ing , conjointly with his sister, who keeps a small cook-shop in the neighbourhood. The loss is estimated at nearly 4004 and it is feared that the speculation will prove ruinous to the builder. It is sow clear that, in addition to the foundations being faulty, th e h ouses were built without any tie-beams, and that th e outer wall of the furthest house was not perpendicular, and that in addition to these defects the mortar used in the construction of the build ing had ho gravel or lime mixed with it, but was made of common mud. It is surely time that some official authority interposed to regulate these matters, as the lives of her Majesty's subjects ought not to be endangered for the sake of house-building speculators, as they too often are, from the rapidity and carelessness with which houses are run up in the suburbs of town. IBARBAROUS INFANTICIDE.--BARNSTAPLE, SATUx. DAY.—Our usually quiet town has, within the last day or two, beon shocked by the rumour (that a young w oman, named Eliza Boucher, a servant, in the employ of Mr. w. Wadham Hill, hairdresser and perfumer, of lligh-street, had been delivered of an illegitimate child, which she had afterwards destroyed by burning in the washhouse fur nace. It appears that her condition was suspected by her mistress, who taxed her with being enceinte, but the young woman stoutly denied such an imputation. Discoveries were made, however, which left no doubt of her confine ment having taken place, whereupon she was again ques tioned as to her conduct. She then admitted that she had been confine 1, and stated that she had thrown the child into the river. Subsequently, however, she said she had buried it in the ashpit. and, as if to give a plausibility to her story, she commenced digging herself, as if to bring it out. At length, however, all attempts to conceal the truth failed, and she confessed that she had burnt the infant in the washhouse furnace, where she had kindled a large fire early on the washing morning. She was then of course handed over to the police authorities, but she was now too ill to be examined. Such an act of barbarity has not been perpetrated in the county of Devon for many years; and, after the stringent remarks of Baron Martin at the last assizes on the crime of child murder, it was hoped that the offence would not again have been heard of. Madame Grisi and her party of Italian singers gave a concert in Perth on Thursday, which was well attended.

Shakapere's Henry the Firth was produced last even ing. The play as edited by Mr. Phelps, has been subjected to considerable reduction, yet it moves somewhat heavily. As a spectacle, however, it is highly brilliant. The siege or liarflenr in the third act, with all its war like accessories, had a peculiarly admirable effect. The general performance was worthy of the peculiar reputa tion of the theatre. Care and intelligence were the characteristics of the interpretation. Mr. Phelps de livered the speeches of the amiable, chivalric monarch with his accustomed ability ; and in all those passages in which Macready was wont to create a sensation—such as the s peech before the battle of A g i ncourt, and the bluff, cpen•bearted address to Kath er i ne —hi s frank, man ly tone was quite in accordance with the spirit of t h e c haracter, and suffered little by comparison with his great co ntemporary. The fine mon o l ogues of the " Chorus" were bestowed on Mr. 11. Marston, wh o , ha bited as Time, recited his premonition s w i t h due and emphat i c solemnity. The house was completely crowded. sIiERIFF'S COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr Ogle.) WEBB v. BRAMWELL. This was an action to recover the sum of 15/. for wages as a porter, at I/. a week. Mr. W. It. Buchanan , Basinghall- street, appeared for the defendant, and denied the claim ire tete, Th e plain tiff charged the defendant, as one of the partners in the firm of Maitland, Hatch, & Co. Defendant, in his exa mination, denied that he was a partner in the firm, or had any interest in it, e xcept that hi s b rother was a said teat he was nephew partner, and he (defendant). was frequently. on the pre mises. Defendant, in addition, and . received 3,000/ a year; to Alderman Thompson, and was mragfr of the busi ness of Thompson & Co , and since he had left that firm, he had been a metal broker, and during the present year had sold a million of tons of iron, &c. The plaintiff was nonsuited. BETTING-liousEs.—lt is very probable, from what occurred last week at a private meeting which took place of some of the leading members of the turf, that a committee of inquiry will be appointed to take evidence before any legislative measure is procee ded with in referenc e to betting lists. Should such committee be a pp ointe d , some very inte resting evidence will be taken. —Racing Tutus. REDUCED OMNIBUS FABES.—The reduced fares of fourpence for the whole distance to and from the extre mity of Paddington and Bayswater to the City, and the termini of the different railways in that direction, an d of two pence for half the distance , e ither wa y to and fro m Totten ham-court road, which were recentl y adopted by the Pad dington Conveyance and Association Companies have been abandoned, and the previous fares of sixpence for the whole and three. pence for half the distance substituted, with two fourpenny fares for intermediate distances. The numerous omnibuses, however, which run on this important line of road to and from the Marble Arch and the bottom of Holborn hill, for twopenny fares, with the fare of one penny for half the distance to or from Tottenham•court-road, are continued without any alteration, and therefore the public have still the option of riding through the main part of the town on ,this road for a very low fa re at fre q uent intervals, and the facility thus afforded for cheap conveyance is availed of to a very great extent. The omnibuses on the other lines of road through the metropolis continue to run at very mode rate fares, including those from Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, B 'e., en the Piccadilly line to the City, and !which afford every possible and necessary convenience to the very large uutnber of residents on the south-western districts of the metropolis. ORDINATION OF A CLERGYMAN FOR PITCAIRN'S ISLAND,—A 3 early as eight o'clock on Sunday morning la s t Mr. G. IL N o bb s , who has for 2a years gratuitously per formed the offices of pastor, surgeon, and schoolmaster among the interesting community, consisting of 170 persons, at Pit cairn's Island, was admitted into holy orders, at Islington, by the Bishop of Sierra Leone, under letters dismissory from the Lord Bishop of London. Upwards of 70 persons remained to receive the sacrament of the Lord's supper. Mr. N o bb s had arrived in London a few days previous from Valparai so, whither he had been brought in the ship Portland, by Bear Admiral Moresby, who bad been four days on Pitcairn's Is ladd, and has confirmed the favourable accounts of the con dition of the people. They are, as is generally known, descendants of the mutineers of the Botta 1789. y, who lauded there MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK, The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, 2,500 American and 500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed with a hardening tendency, and all kinds of American and Surat were a shade dearer. The sales comprised 10,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6d to 71d, 30 Bahia at 6id to 7d, 1,200 Egyptian at 62d to 131 d, and 500 Surat at 40 to s, l i d. Railway Shares were firm. There are two vessels in from Australia, one with dates of June 15 from Sydney, another June 12 from Port Philip. The dates are not later, but there are a few intermediate items. The news read out of the accession to power of Lord Derby and his col leagues, excited much interest and surprise. There is gold on board the Ganges, but the amount is not ascertained. Upon gold mining in the northern districts, the writer of one Sydney circular remarks : " Near the spot where Dr. Kerr's hundred-weight of gold was found, a water- worn pump was taken out by two men working Mr. Want's claim, weighing 157 ounces, and another weighing 71 ounces was obtained from Mr. Gideon Lang's claim; the latter is reported to have been a splendid specimen, mixed with white, red, and black quartz; it was unfortunately broken up to ascertain its value. At the Dirt Hole and Tam baroora Creek, 141. worth of gold per man per week is not considered at all an uncommon circumstance, whilst a " lucky party " will earn from 281. to 381.; and no man is thought to be doing well who earns less than 1/. per day, while 255. to 3/. is gene rally procured. The gold in this neighbourhood is found in pipeclay, to which the diggers usually sink before they commence washing, and then tunnel in preference to throwing off the top soil. Water is still scarce at these diggings. At a short distance from the Green Valley, a party of three wore making with a tin dish, 3oz of gold per day, but this was not enough, while they heard that more prolific yields were being obtained at Mount Alexander; they therefore left for that locality. Another party of threa made 25/, worth each in three days. Many think that a large mining population would find this neighbourhood and the banks of the Mac quarie to repay them well for the labour expended. Our Northern Mines continuo to improve. A party of five having obtained at the Hanging Hock an average of 16i ounces per week for ten weeks, and their earn ings during the week previous to this report were over six ounces per day, whilst some have done even better — six to nine ounces to a party per day are not uncom mon; and three miners took out eight ounces in less than ten minutes. It appears that the gold in this dis trict lies deep, and the rich deposits have not hitherto been found, from the diggers not going low enough down. The trial of Sir Thomas Mitchell's Bomareng pro peller seems to have proved very successful. The description given is very interesting : "Sir Thomas Mitchell's invention of the Bomareng propeller, as applied for the purpose of propelling a ves sel through the water, was tried on Saturday, and the result, we are happy t o sa y, h as excee d e d all expectations. By the permission of Messrs. Smith & Croft, the owners of the Keera screw steamer, an iron bomareng propeller, formed as nearly to the required proportions as the peculiarities of the vessel would permit, was fitted to the Keera, when on the Patent Slip during the last two or three days. Sir Thomas Mitchell's rule for the construction of the Bomareng Propeller depend on its having a diameter equal to the pitch. The diameter of the screw of the Keen :is only 5 feet 8 inches, and the pitch is 8 feet, so that the propeller fitted to her necess arily differed materially from what it should be to give it a fair and complete trial. However, under every dis advantage, the experiment has met with complete suc cess, and we heartily congratulate the inventor of this triumph of skill and perseverance, honour able to himself and to the Colony at large. The Keera left the wharf adjoining the Patent Slip, at two o'clock, on this trial trip, and proceeded to North Harbour. Sir Thomas Mitchell, Messrs. Smith and Croft, and a considerable number of influential and in telligent gentlemen were on board to witness the result. We fear we cannot give our r ea d ers , w h o ma y b e engineers. such an account as may satisfy professional men ; but we can state results:—" When the Keera started from the patent slip we perceived not a ripple under her stern ; but when she got into full speed, it was evident that she was impelled by a new kind of pro peller, from the tranquil appearance of the water astern, the curl at the bow, and increased speed—so much so, that a friend of ours, who observed her from Woolloo mooloo, inquired what was the matter with the Keera that she had set off like a race-horse. " The distances given in an almanack of Baker's, ena bled us to keep a reckoning of the speed, and in running from Blue's Point to Pinchegut, she took 6m. 103., de ducting 4m. 20s. for stoppages, during which she took parties on board. As this must have retarded the re mainder of that part of the run to Pincbgut, a distance given as 2117 yards, her rate then may Oe fairly com puted at 10 knots an hour. In returning, she got over the same distance in 5 minutes, when steaming on the expaubive principle, which rate gives rather more than 12 knots an hour." Large vessels, it is said, may attain a speed of 20 mil on hour wica the propeller is properly fitted. There is not any intelligence of interest from the Continent, except the important news from Constan tinople of the repudiation of the Turkish Loan, and the intention to raise it at home. Such a sensation has not been excited fur years, and the character of all parties concerned, including the contractors, Prince Kallimuchi, the Agent of the Bank, and the Ottoman Porte, is damaged until full explanations are given. The payment of the next instalment is deferred, and there has been a talk ; of repudiating the bargain en tered into. This, we presume, can hardly be done, though there may be good ground of action against the contractors for premiums paid by those who now bold the Stock. English Securities are heavy, with but little doing; Consols, 100*1 for Transfer, and 1001 for Account. The New 31 per Cents. have been 100 k to 1, and the 3 per Cents. 99* *.

THE COBRA•DI• CAPELL9 SNAKE.—Reading an account of the fatal issue that ieefel one of the keepers at the Zoological Gardens establishment, a day or two since, from the bite of a serpent of the above description, it may be interesting to observe that the Indian snake charm ers handle and suffer themselves to be bitten by these reptiles with comparative impunity." The mongoose or snake weasel will also attack the hideous serpent when ever it meets with his presence,and although in the conflict it oftentimes sustains vulnerisation, yet the bite has never been known to prove fatal to this little animal. This is a physiological point which wants clearing up. Why should the mongoose be the only creature that can entertain the venom of tho cobra-di-capello in its system without any injurious effects. The natives assert and sustain a belief that this weasel, upon being bitten, immediately retreats to some garden or wood, and medicates itself with a particular herb, which it instinctively covets. But then, again, this herb has never been recognised by the most accurate observers of nature; and, in instances, the mongoose, after having b een bitten by its scaly enemy, has been confined in a chamber from which it has not had the m e a ns of escapin g, b u t suffered no serious inconvenience from the colubrine assault. Query—Might not this fact be ascribed to the mucuons secretions with which the above little creature is physically endowed? Musk is a very powerful anti septic, and might operate effectually in neutralizing the agency of the ophitic poison in the animal inoculated with it. If such should prove the case, then the appli cation of this useful anodyne in ewes of the above de scription might be turned to good account. DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A FERRET. --A few da) a: o a rate lecher was bitten by one of the ferrets em ployed by bim in hi 3 profesiion. Ho was conveyed on Tuesday to the Perth Infirmary, end died on Wednesday inornitur, after suffering much agony. His name was Mitchell, and he was well known throughout the county of Perth as a celebrated ratoatcher,—Edinburgh Courant. THE SHARE MARKETS. _ BRITISH RAILWAYS.
