We are rejoiced at this, because it shows that the former efforts of Mr. Mitchell have been justly appreciated by the public, while, at the same time, it secures to that public an earlier commencement and a longer continuance of a most delightful and intellectual amusement. The season commences on Wednesday, 11th November, with the engagement of our old favourite Perlet, the actor who first made French plays popular in England. lie will be supported by Cartigny, Rhozevil, and Mademoiselle Brohan, from the Theatre Francais, (her first appearance in this country), and during his engagement, there will be produced, Bertrand et Raton, Le Malade Imaginqire, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, L' Ecole des Femmes, and Les Folies Amourenses, and several popular vaude• villes. May we venture to express a hope that during the course of his engagement, he will appear in Molieres chef d'oeuvre, Tartuffe. It is the character in which Perlet produced his first impression on the English public, and one of which those who have once seen his embodiment will not easily lose theie membrance. Frederic Lemaitre and Mdlle. Clarisse will follow Perlet and Mademoiselle Brohan, and during their engagement will be produced Dumas' Comedy of " Louise de La Valliere," " Marie Jeanne," "Le Barbier du Roi d'Aragon," " Don Cesar de Bazan," " L'Auberge des Adrets," "La Dame de St. Tropez," and the new play of " Le Docteur Noir." The engagement of Monsieur Fre derick Lemaitre, will be succeeded by those of Mon sieur Lafont, and Mademoiselle Fargueil, (her first appearance in this country), for whose performances will be produced the plays of " Un Mari qui se Derange," " Casanova," " Les Deux Brigadiers," " Mathilde, ou, La Jalousie," .41In Manage au Tambour," " Pierre le Rouge," &c. &c. Ste.— Early in March the popular comic actor, Monsieur Alcide Tousez, (of the Theatre du Palais Royal), and Mademoiselle Duverger, (also of the Theatre du Palais Royal), will make their first appearances in this country, and will perform in " Le Roi des Frontins," . c La Scear de Jocrisse," "Le Philtre Champenois," "Escadron," "Volant de la Leine," &c. The per formances in April will be commenced by the engage ment of the admired artiste, Mademoiselle Rose Cheri, (of the Theatre du Gymnase), whose performances last year were so eminently successful, and during whose limited engagement will be produced the new domestic drama of " Glarissa Harlowe," now perform ing in Paris with extraordinary success; and also a new play, written expressly for Mademoiselle Rose Cheri, by the popular author M. Scribe, in addition to the following pieces :—" Yelva; ou, l'Orpheline Russe," " La Belle et la Bete," " Une Maitresse de Maison," "Les Deux Scours," "La Loi Salique," and others. The engage went of Mademoiselle Rose Cheri will be succeeded by those of Monsieur Regnier (of the Theatre Francais), and Mademoiselle Denain, also of the Theatre Francais (her first appearance in this country), for whose representations will be produced " Line Chaine," " Oscar," "Le Manage Force," eG L'Enfant Trouve," "La Famille Poisson," "Le Jeune Mari," " Le Barbier de Seville," " Les De.. moiselles de St. Cyr," " Le Mari a la Campagne," &c. &c. And, at the end of May, the distinguished actor, Monsieur Bouffe, who has not appeared in London since 1843, will give a limited number of representations, consisting of the most popular pieces of his celebrated Repertoire, namely—" Michel Perrin," " Les Vieux niches," " Pere Turlututu,'' " La Fille de L'Avare," ".Antoine ; ou, Les Trois Generations," " Clermont," Les Merluchans," " Le Mousse," "Le Gamin de Paris," &c. In addition to these artistes, Mr. Mitchell has again engaged Mademoiselle Rachel, for a few performances. She will appear in the tragedies of " Tancrede," by Vol taire ; " Brittanicus," by Racine ; " Athalie," by Racine ; " Marie Stuart," by Le Brun ; " Ariane,' by Corneille. In addition to some others already pro duced at this theatre, Mademoiselle Rachel has also undertaken to perform, during her engagement in London, and for the first time, the character of Celimene, in Moliere's comedy of " Le Misanthrope?' But Mr. Mitchell has not devoted his attention ex clusively to the engagement of stars. They will be supported by a company which, in its ensemble, can• not be equalled in any save a Parisian theatre, and which, perhaps, cannot be surpassed by any single theatre even in the French capital. The following is a list of the general company : Mons. Cartigny ; Messrs. Rhozevil, Felix, Beron, Sourillon, Larochelle, Preston, Dumery, Masquilier, Dorgebret, Pagonier, Gabriel, and Mons. Langeval ; Madame Grassot, Mademoiselle Duverger. Mesdames Celine Vallee, Amelie Rhin, Celine Fou quet, Fanny Cordely, Josephine Leyder ; Mademoiselles Edith Duffand, Fanny Merimont, Marie Pascal, Madl. Dumery, Augusta Leon. Chef d'Orcbestre, Mons. Bourotte ; Regisseur, Mons. Cloup. Such is the programme for the season, and it will be kept to the very letter. Mr. Mitchell is one of the very few managers who has never promised more than he feels himself assured of performing, and with such a company there can be no doubt that the season of 1847 will surpass even that of 1846 in brilliancy and success. Betting-2 to 1 agst the winner, and 3to 1 agst Ben digo and Dipthong. Maria Louisa took the lead, at tended by Bendigo and the favourite, Dipthong and the In dustry colt waiting.

" 'T. That Mr. Murphy was authorised to make this variation is evident from the following extract from the instructions of his Gorernment : " His Excellency the President ad interim of the Republic, aware that the conversion is highly important to the Republic, because, besides diminishing the debt, the public credit abroad will be raised, has instructed me to state to your Excellency that he expects from your activity and zeal that you will do all in your power to accomplish the conversion on the stipulated basis, re moving whatever difficulty may present itself, for which purpose you are most fully authorised.' " 8. That it appears to the Committee that with such instructions in his possession (independently of his hold ing the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court) Mr. Murphy might have rendered himself liable to the severest censure from his Government if he had failed to do what he has done.

The Royal West India Mail packet, Medway, will take out the West India and Mexican mails on the 2d proximo, and about 100 passengers. "9. That these proceedings were all concurred in by Don Guillermo O'Brien, of Paris, the Commissioner specially appointed by the Mexican Government to act with Mr. Murphy in carrying the same into effect, as is signified by his signature to the bonds. " 10. That on perusing the letter of Don Valentin Gomez Farias, of the 28th of August, from Mexico, to Mr. Murphy, directing the repudiation of Mr. Murphy's proceedings, it is evident that the writer has not understood what those proceedings have been. They are wholly misstated as to matters of fact, and as to the results arising therefrom. " 11. That it is the less surprising that the Govern ment should not have accurately comprehended the pro ceedings in question, seeing that the new Ministers were only appointed on the 28th of August, and the aforesaid letter of Don V.

He was born on the Ist of May, 1746, and on the Ist of May last had completed the extra ordinary age of 100 years. Mr. Adamson was a weaver, and continued to ply the shuttle until within a few 3 ears back. He was, what most long livers are, an early riser; six o'clock scarcely ever found him in bed; he was gene rally up and at work by five. Ile had a strong clear voice, and was for many years precentor in the parish church. He had a perfect recollection of seeing Paul Jones sail past Pittenweem, on his way to Leith, about 70 years ago, and of the tempest which providentially arose and drove the pirate out of the Frith. lie never was what may be called really sick, and never com plained of head-ache. For the last six months he was confined to his bed, but felt no pain or sickness. De retained his senses to nearly the last day of his life, and during harvest he was every day inquiring about how far the different farmers had got in their cr.ps. The failure in the potato crop gave him much uneasiness. During the whole of his long life he was only three weeks absent from Pittenweem.—Dundee Courier. sbl. ; for two yrs old, a feather ; three yrs, 7st 51b ; four, Bst 91b: five, Oat 31b; six and aged, Oat 71b.

Nothing was discern able at a distance of fifty yards ; and it is miraculous that the D.I. and feather weight Plates were brought to an issue without a casualty. Ot course, we were in the same difficulty as on Monday. It was quite impossible to time any of the races. The sport, notwithstanding, was ex cellent, and the attendance very numerous. The settling for the Cambridgeshire commenced in the morning, but owing to the early hour at which the first race was fixed, and the unaccountable liberality of the manager of the Church and Coffee-room clocks (by which the races are run), in keeping them 22 minutes in advance of the London time, was nut half finished; the accounts were heavy, but money appeared to be " easy." - - ESCAPE OF A PRISONER,—On Wednesday last, while a special coach was conveying the prisoners from Morpeth gaol to Alnwick for trial at the sessions, one of them, named Griffiths, slipped the irons from his legs, and sprung from the top of the coach, making his way over the hedge into the Cauledge Park woods, two miles south of Alnwick. A turnkey, who was on the coach, jumped down, and had he not accidentally fallen in crossing the burn, he would have immediately taken the prisoner, who got clear off. On the arrival of the coach at Alnwick, the police-officers of that place were sent in pursuit. The prisoner was charged with stealing goocs to a large amount ire a bazaar at Nerth Shields, and had been previouslf - c*vicipd of similar offences. The irons were examined by th e Doputy-Governor in the morning before the prisoners left the gaol.—Newcastle Guardian. " G. R. ROBINSON, Chairman. " London, Oct. 27, 1846." (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT. DERBY. _ DEATH OF SIR HENRY FETIIERSTONHAUGH, BART. —This, the oldest baronet in the empire, expired ou the 26th instant, at his seat, Upcarle, Sussex, at the advanced age of 92 years, during 72 of which he enjoyed the title. He was born in the year 1754, being the son of the first baronet, who received the honour in 1747, b) the only daughter of C. Leth ieulliere, Esq., of Belmont, Middlesex. He married in 1825, being then tar advanced in life, Miss Mary Anne Bullock, of Orton, but does not leave any issue. The deceased possessed estates in the coun ties of Sussex (of which he was a deputy-lieutenant), Essex, and Northumberland; his residence in the latter was known as Fetherstonhaugh Castle. This family is of Saxon origin, and was settled at the latter mentioned place before the Conquest; that part of the country having been allotted to its progenitor, a Saxon officer, for his gallant conduct when opposed to the Ancient Britons. The curious sirname of the family may, no doubt, have excited the reader's curiosity. It appears that the house first inhabited by the original possessor of the lands in Northumberland who built upon two stones known as fetherstones, and that on the same being destroyed, during a conflict with the Scots, another was built in a valley or haugh, as it was termed, and hence the word Fetherstonhaugh. Branches of this family settled in Ireland at an early period, and there obtained lar possessions. DEATH OF LADY COLQUHOUN, OF LUSS. This lady expired on the 21st instant, at Rosselen, the resi dence of her husband, Sir James Colquhoun, in the county of Dumbarton. She was the daughter of Sir Robert Abercromby, Bart., of Fouglen, chief of the clan of Abercromby, and was married, in 1843, to Sir James Colquhoun, chief of the clan of Lass, and an extensive proprietor of property in the Church of Scotland. A FAMILY OF MUTES.—There is a singular family of mutes in Jeantown, Lochcurron. They are orphans, seven lads and two girls, all deaf and dumb, and yet the most industrious people in the village. Strange to say, three of them have adopted a seafaring life, and have a boat and nets, in which they sail by themselves in pur suit of herrings round the whole coast. During the day the helmsman directs the others by signs, and at night he carrit s stones in his pocket which he throws at them; one intimates a desire to stand by the halyards, and two to reef.

With regard to the Royal Artillery, it is expected that eleven colonels will be removed from the corps to the rank of Major-General, the retired list being now very low, embracing only six officers.

SHOCKING AFFAIR AT PENRITII—SUNDAY EVEN ING.—After dusk, this evening, the town of Penrith was thrown into a state of great excitement, by constables taking James Donahow, an Irishman, who died before he was got to prison. When opposite the Old Brewery, he became faint, and was taken into Winskill's lodging house, close at hand, and, on examination, it was found that blood was gushing out of his shoes. Donahow be came worse and died within ten minutes. Dr. Morrison declared that he had died from excitement and the loss of blood. It appeared that deceased had a bad leg pre viously, and in struggling with the constables the old wound broke out. In the early part of the day he had b( en intoxicated, and quarrelled with his wife, and his passion was so great thAt he actually burned his liens and chickens in the fire in his own house, hacked the clock -Lase, chairs, and other furniture to pieces, after wards burning them, and was in the act of heating water to scald a fat pig alive.

PRICE or GOLD. —The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. to d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of t.'s 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 72k, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from ilamburgh the price of gold is 433 at the English Mint per mark, which, price of 31.175. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9 ; and the ex it c hange at Hamburgh on London a t s h o rt being 13 9, follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in II amb urgh. Th e course o f ex • change at New York on London is 109* per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from ' the above difference. = I VIII)I3LFSEX ;SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current of October 27.) SuGAIL—To-day there were numerous purchasers of every description of West India Muscovado Sugar for grocery and refining purposes, and many orders were in the market for the outports, but the high prices insisted upon by importers tended to check operations, still a good business was transacted, and at prices showing a rise on those of Friday of 6d per cwt for all sorts. The purchases amounted to 460 hhds and fres, including at public sale 127 hhds and 8 trcs Barbadoes, which went with spirit at a rise on the rates of the last auction of fully 6d per cwt, low yellow bringing 47s to 48s, middling 48s 6d to 50s 6d, good 51s 6d to 52s Gd, and fine at 53s to 53s 6d per cwt. The market closes stiffly for every kind of Sugar available for home consumption. REFLNED.— To-day refined goods were much in request, and further advanced rates offered, but few parcels are to be met with. Standard lumps according to quality fetched 66s to 66s 6d, and brown grocery 648 to 655. In Bonded Crushed Sugar only a moderate business was done at 32s 6d per cwt for first quality. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with attention, and 1,194 bags at auction sold at rather higher rates, good grainy yellow syrupy at 49s to 50s, and drainage damaged 50s 6d per cwt. Privately several parcels have been sold. FOREIGN.—There has been a considerable increase in the demand for Manilla Sugar for home consumntion, and a rise in the value of Is. per cwt. has occurred. Java has been in excellent request by private contract, and brought prices 6d to is per cwt above those previously current. China Las met with more attention, and an improvement in the value has taken place. All kinds of Brazil have been in much better request, and brought rather higher rates. None has been offered at auction. Havannah of all sorts has met with more attention, and prices are improving. For other kinds of Foreign the market has an improving appear ance, and the supply is on the decrease. Foreign for exporta tion is held for the former currency, but there are few pur chasers for any description on the spot. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was abundantly supplied with Bengal Sugar, and seven parcels, amounting to 11,400 bags, were offered at public sale, but the trade were eager purchasers, and the whole sold at prices showing an advance on those of Friday of 6d per cwt. COMM.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased with more freedom, and 3,033 bags at public sale were nearly all disposed of at full rates, and in some cases even rather above. CINNAMON.—The quarterly sales of Cinnamon have gone off with more spirit than any during the year, and a large proportion sold ; in fact nearly all of good quality found ready buyers ; the superior first and second sorts at an ad vance of 3d to 4d per lb, and superior 3d sort id to 2d per lb on the p :ices of the last sales ; the inferior qualities of 2d and 3d sorts are still neglected, an d much remained unsold. SPIRITS.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in Leeward Island, and prices assumed a downward ten dency. East India is wanted at previous rates, but the stock is nearly all in second hands. Jamaica has not improved in value, but the home and export demand has been good at previous rates. Demerara is held with firmness, but there has been only a limited business transacted ; the quantity sold not exceeding 100 puns at 3s 3d to 3s 4d for 32 to 34 per cent. Brandy has been in excellent request for actual consump tion, and prices rule firm. The deliveries are on the in crease. For Corn Spirits the demand is as brisk as ever, and prices are very firm ; the Distillers have more orders on hand than they will be able to execute for some time. We quote English at lOs 9d nett cash, Scotch and Irish 108 8d to lOs 9d per gallon. SPICES.—To-day Malabar Pepper met with less demand, and 1,798 bags at auction were only in part sold at the former value. _ _ TEA.—In the middle part of last week there was a good business transacted in Black and Green Tea; the rates paid were rather above those previously current for the former • but holders were unable to obtain any advance for the latter, on account of the large quantity on offer. llors.—Holders for the most part are unwilling to submit to any further reduction in prices, but there has been only a limited business transacted, and the quantity of all sorts of Hops at market is yet large. The duty for the Kingdom is estimated at 220,0001. Ott.—The market has still an improving appearance for Seal Oil, large purchases have been made, and a further ad vance in prices has taken place. Southern of all descrip tions have been much sought after, and the supply at market being on the decrease, a further advance in the value has oc curred.re In Cod a good business has been done, and prices b a l fupr o extensiveving, t r h e e g r u e e n e t o , t a n being de sellers eee4 er a u b n i d e e e r d Spermtl y . le:rheias a h l n a s ta bee i n place in prices; the supply being on the dec re ase , Oi a s se, and Oils none have consumption getting even greater.. y whee we ek ,a whereas n t d h.e the d e a l arrivals s duringb e en offered t timeat w auction ere since th unimportant,da The market has decidedly an improving appear anceare good. for Fish Oils, and stocks in first as well as second hands are small. Of Cocoa Nut, the supply being inadequate to the wants of the trade, a further improvement has taken place. The supply is less than it was last season, and the consump rion greater. Palm met with eager purchasers ; the stock is diminishing, and prices are rising. American Lard Oil has not attracted much notice by private contract, and 100 casks at auction were taken in at 38s per cwt. Rape Seed Oil has further declined in value, but the demand has been brisker during thelast few days. The consumption is go i ng on satisfactorily, and likely so to continue. In Olive there has been a good deal done, holders evince much firmness, as the stock is diminishing, and the consumption going on largely. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request by the home trade on the spot, and ma n y p urc h ases h been made for exportation, chiefly for Am erica; prices e ad vanced frog 25 5 to 255 3d per cwt, although the crushers DEATH FROM POISON ADMINISTERED BY Ml - TAKE.—SUNDERLAND, OCT. 26.—A painful sensation has been occasioned in this town by the death of a young woman named Mary Elizabeth Liddell, 25 years of age, who resided in West-street, under the following circum stances :—lt appears that the deceased, being unwell, on Thursday evening, sent the daughter of a neighbour to the shop of Mr. Meldrum, a chemist, for some tincture of rhubarb. It was dark at the time, and the drug was supplied by a young man, about seventeen years of age, Mr. Meldrum's apprentice. Immediately after Miss Liddell had swallowed what was brought she was taken ill, and died on the following morning from the effects of poison—it being then ascertained that laudanum had by mistake been substituted for the rhubarb. On Sa turday the inquest was held before Mr. Maynard, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," at the same time severely censuring the young man (Mr. Meldrum's apprentice) for the negligence which he had manifested. FOG SIGNALS.--The signals which have hitherto been used on the lines of railroad in foggy weather, it is well known have proved very inefficient, and conse quently frequent complaints have been made by those entrusted with the management of this important de partment. It is with great satisfaction, therefore, we announce that a new inventiou has been introduced, well adapted to supply a deficiency which has lung proved a great evil —we allude to a simple apparatus, de nominated " Cowper's Fog Signal." It consists of de tonating powder made up in a arcu'ar form, firmly se cured by tin plates. Being about three inches in diameter, it is placed on the rail, two strips of lead being employed to keep it fam in its position. In night or day travelling, when the weather is foggy and the ordinary signals are not to be discerned, this fog signal is placed on the rail. Th e m omen t th e f orew h ee l of the engine presses it, an explosion takes place as loud as a small cannon. The great value of this sign a l consists in its extreme simplicity and in its unerring principle ; for no sooner is the report heard by the engine driver, than he applies the breaks and the train is stopped. The signal has been introduced by Mr. Martin on the Eastern Union line.—Essex Herald. INSURANCE ON THE GREAT BRITAIN.—A private meeting of some of the propriAors of the Great Western Steam-ship Company was held in Bristol, on Monday week, for the purpose of taking into consideration the course adopted by the directors of the company in not insuring the vessel. It appears that at a late meeting of the company, at their offices, in Princess street, and be fore the Great Britain left Liverpool, a question was put to the chairman as to whether the ship was fully in sured or not. The 'chairman, in reply, stated it was not, beyond the sum of 18,0001., to secure Mr. Miles's mort gage to that amount on the vessel, as there was some difficulty or difference as to effecting the insurance. One of the proprietors then observed, that if the in surance should not be effected before the ship started from America, the proprietors ought to be informed of it, that each, by a separate insurance, might secure him self to the extent of his share from loss. The cbairma n concurred at once in :the propriety of this course, an d sail that a minute should be made to that effect, and the proprietors furnished with the necessary information in good time. They received no intimation, however ; and the vessel, at the time she got aground, was only in sured in the extent we have stated, 18,0001. Under these circumstances, some of the proprietors conceive that they may hold the chairman or directors responsible fcr their loss ; and we have heard that high legal opinion is about to be procured on the point. On the merits of the case we do not presume to decide, but we believe we are pretty accurate in the general statement.— Bristol Journal. THE RECENT ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MUR DER IN CHESIIIRE —The officer, Mr. Irwin, special high constable of Knutsford, and Bohanna, one of his assist ants, in the further prosecution of their inquiries, found, late on Saturday night, at the house of a person named Holland, at Northwich, a top coat, which has beeh iden tified as the one uorn by the prisoner, John Wright, when he committed the murderous attack. It was found to be, in parts, very bloody, particularly about the left arm and breast. On searching it, a book was found in the pocket, containing a 20L and two 51 notes. The 201. note, it has been ascertained, was paid to M`Gill on the morning of the occurrence, by Mrs. Fowls, of the Roebuck, in whose house he had stopped for the - night. The remaining 201. note has been traced to a Mr. Stephen Massey, to whom it had been paid by the pri soner on Friday afternoon, soon after the occurrence took place. These several sums, with the gold and silver found upon the prisoner when apprehended, make up the whole sum of which M'Gill was rob Led. On Saturday the depositions of M'Gill mere taken at Man chester, in the presence of Mr. J. F. Foster, a county magistrate, efter which the prisoner was remanded until Tuesday week, by which time the probability or not of poor MiGill's recovery might more certainly be ascer tained. RICK BURNING IN HIMPSHIRE.—SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY.-At an early hour this morning, messengers arrived here bearing the intelligence that an incen d iary fire, threatening destruction to an imme nse Winchester. The from this town, and about six Mr. Lanhaw property, was raging at Fisher's-pond, about eight The farm was in the occupation of AI W m . . a butcher, in an extensive wa y thescene of devastation, the of bus i ness in s South ampton. On arriving at . reporter found that tw o fired, were nearly consumed, and each, which had whichofhay, the fire had been communicated, combustion. Strenuous exer tionswere made to save five other equally valuable were . which were in dangerous proximity with the fire, two ot i h n er a s, ricks, S 3 as they would in all probability have been st c a o te w of rapid the means of communicating the flames to the adjacent cattle-sheds, containing much stock, and thence to the farm dwellings. Notwithstanding the prompt and vigorous efforts which were afforded by nearly all pre sent, the flames suddenly burst from a fifth stack, far removed from the great body of fire, indicating (were othei: proof wanting) the cause of the calamity. This, as well as the other four stacks, were entirely consumed. The other property was saved. The damage sustained by the fire is understood to be upwards of 1,0001., and Mr. Lanhaws is either wholly uninsured, or insured for a very trifling sum. The Epoque, in announcing the death of M..Ouv revolution andv very M..Ouv rard, says :—" Julien O uvrar d was a grocer at Nantes, when the y boofycrin brake speculations,keout.Bein,haegsaeood calculator,. ceeded in less than 15 years in placing himself at the summit of fortune.

He has died, after having written a work on finances and voln- • minoui memoirs." st. lb. ! are working freely. For forward delivery several contracts have been entered into at 25s Gd. The consumption of Lin seed Oil is even greater than it was last year. TALLOW. —Although prices rule high for every kind of Tallow, still the home are inclined to further increase their stocks, as arrivals are small, and far from sufficient for the consumption. Russian on the spot has met with a ready sale for soap and candle -making purposes, and further advanced rates have been o'itained, fine Petersburgh yellow Candle bringing 50s Gd per cwt. For forward delivery a good business has been transacted. Of Town Tallow there is nut sufficient for the wants of the trade, and the market has been again cleared at further advanced rates All other sorts of 'Tallow meet with a brisk sale privately, and must again be quoted higher. THE NEW JUDGE. Yesterday the ceremony was witnessed of Mr. Vaughan Williams, the new judge, taking leave of the Society of Lincoln's Inn, of which he was a member. At ten o'clock there was a large assemblage of benchers, barristers, an d s t u d ents, i n t h e New-hall, when the ex pectant Justice of the Common Pleas was introduced with great solemnity, and was thus addressed by Lord Campbell:— " Mr. Vaughan Williams,—On account of the absence of the treasurer, I am unexpectedly called upon, as the senior bencher present, to address you on your taking leave of this society, with the view of your being created a judge. The task is easy and agreeable, for I have marked your career from your early youth, and I am well acquainted with your extraordinary merit. Having received a sound classical education, which ought al ways to be the foundation of professional emi nence, you began the study of the law, and you pursued i t dili gently, liberally, and syste matically, having before your eyes the example of your revered father, who was one of the most deeply learned common lawyers of modern times ; and who, if it had pleased Providence to prolong his life, must have reached the highest pro fessional honours. Soon after you were called to the bar you afforded proofs of your proficiency, by giving to the world—along with an associate who was worthy to join you in such an undertaking, and who has long adorned the judgment -seat (Mr. Justice Patteson)—an edition of your father's works, enriching and elucidating them with annotations of the highest value. You after ' wards published a work of your own, upon a very im portant branch of the law, most scientifically arranged, and distinguished by such accuracy, that not only prac titioners, but judges, are ready to appeal to its autho rity. Your progress at the bar has been most creditable. Despising the arts by which some seek to force them selves into notoriety, you have only striven to qualify yourself as an advocate, and zealously and honourably to conduct the causes of the clients who have solicited your patronage. Thus you have gradually risen to be the head of your circuit, and to occupy an enviable position in Westminster Hall. For some time every man there has been of opinion that, next to him self, you were the fittest person to be raised to the bench duly estimating your integrity, your temper, and your manners, as well as your learning and ability. On this ground you have been selected on the vacancy caused by the death of my lamented friend, Mr. Justice Williams. I have the means of knowing that the Lord Chancellor, the consti tutional adviser of the Crown on such an occasion, un influenced by any party or personal considerations, was only solicitous to find the man who, from his accom plishments and his character, was best qualified to per form the duties of the office, and that he acted upon the maxim Detur digniori. lam confident, like all who hear me, that his anticipations will be fulfilled, and that here after you will be classed with Hale, and other great judges, who have reflected so much lustre on this society. I must say that we do not take leave of you with regret, since such is your destiny. I have now only, according to ancient usage, to present to you a purse containing ten guineas, as a retaining fee to plead for us during the fleeting moments that you are supposed to practise as a sergeant-at•law, and earnestly to wish that you may long, in health and happiness, enjoy the high office of a judge, to which we know you will be an ornament." The bell was then tolled, Mr. Vaughan Williams was warmly congratulated on his elevation, and the company dispersed.
