w~. x ^yi ~. ~.,~ AMERICAN NEWS. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Reyal Mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewett, arrived here from Boston and Halifax, after a passage of 141 days, with news to the 18th ult. She had 28 pas sengers. The Acadia arrived at Halifax on the 15th, after a passage of 11 days. The news by this arrival is not important, and may be briefly summed up as follows : The taking of the Government loan of $5,000,000, for the prosecution of the war with Mexico, and the elections which have taken place in several of the States, are the leading events of importance which have occurred since the departure of the steamer of the Ist. The intelligence of the capture of Monterey has already been announced, and no further movement has since been made by the army. It is understood that additional dispatches from General Taylor, to those published, have been received at Wash ington, but they have not yet been published. A list, however, of the killed and wounded during the three days' engagement, which resulted in the surrender of the town, has found its way to the public, from which it appears that the aggregate American loss on that occa sion was 493, of whom 124 were killed. An immense amount of ammunition, arms, &c., was surrendered by the Mexican General. The most recent intelligence from General Taylor ren ders it nearly certain that he will not immediately ad vance any farther, though it is probably the intention of the Government that he should take possession of Saltillo and perhaps of San Luis Potosi. If he can hold either or both of these points, he will doubtless do so ; but the general belief now is, that his march towards the city of Mexico will end there. Our advices from Vera Cruz are to the 7th of October. The news of the surrender of Monterey had reached Mexico, where it created a good deal of excitement. No thing like discouragement, however, was manifested by either the people or the Government. On all sides there was still an apparent enthusiasm in defence of the country, and a demand for renewed exertions to prose cute the war. It is not easy to see, however, in what way this determination is to be carried into effect, for all the exertions of the Government to raise money had proved ineffectual, and Santa Anna had left the capital for the frontier, at the head of only 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, with a military chest of 27,000 dollars. The people seem in truth insensible to any reverses, which do not reach their immediate homes ; and the loss of Monterey is regarded with an indifference which betrays the stolid and unintelligent character of the im pulses and feelings by which they are governed. It is supposed that the Mexicans wili make a stand at Saltillo, and, if driven thence, fortify San Luis Potosi against the American force. _ _ _ It is supposed that, while the attention of the Mexi cans is thus fixed upon their north-eastern frontier, an attempt will be made upon them from another quarter. An attack has been ordered upon Tampico, which is 400 miles south of Matamoras and 200 east of San Luis Potosi. If this place be taken and San Luis also, sup plies may easily be introduced into Mexico proper, should the army march thither. Another attack, it is said, was to have been made on Alvarado on the 11th, by the squadron. The Tennessee and Kentucky cavalry have been ordered to proceed to Matamoras, and thence to Tampico ; whence they are to march to Vera Cruz, to aid in a contemplated attack upon that city. This is the programme of future operations in that quarter, ac cording to the most reliable accounts. An impression however, has been gaining ground of late, that nothing further will be done towards an active prosecution of the war until the meeting of Congress in December : and that the whole matter will then be submitted to that body. On the Western frontier meantime, Gen. Kearney is marching from Santa Fe to California, while Gen. Wool, with five thousand men, is proceed ing west to Chihuahua, which is five hundred miles north of Monterey. Their combined forces will easily hold all the commanding positions north of the Gulf of California. Col. Mason, of the Ist Regiment of Dragoons, has been sent to Monterey, on the Pacific coast, to supersede Col. Stevenson in the command of the California regiment of volunteers, which recently sailed from this city. Elections have been held, within the last fortnight, in the States of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, lowa, and Delaware. In New New York the Whigs have achieved a signal triumph, having elected 23 Whigs out of the 34 to which the State is entitled. No further election for members of Congress is to take place until March, and the complexion of the next Con gress, which commences its session on the 4th of March next, is now to some extent understood. The Senate will contain 21 Whigs and 35 Loco Focos, two members being doubtful. In the House, 74 Whigs and 50 Loco Focos have already been chosen ; last year the same States were represented by 49 Whigs and 76 Loco Focos. If the remaining members be of the same politics as their predecessors, the Loco Foco majority will be 20; though at as supposed there will be additional changes. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE. ARUNDEL, DEC. 1. - Shortly after four the royal cortege was observed in the Chichester road, and at a quarter past her Majesty reached the boundary of the town, escorted by the Yeomanry Cavalry, preceded by the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Wellington, tha Earl of Ellesmere, and Lord Edward Howard. The arrival of the Queen gave occasion to protracted cheering from the vast assemblage of persons, amidst which the royal carriage stopped. The Mayor of Arundel then advanced to the royal carriage, and presented the mace, his worship being supported by the officers of the borough and municipal authorities. The Queen graciously received the mace, and in reply thanked the Mayor ' for his dutiful reception, and resigned the mace to his custody, with reliance on his integrity and loyalty. Her Majesty having placed herself under the protec tion of the mayor and municipal body, a procession was formed, and the cavalcade moved at a slow pace along Maltravers, formerly Old Market-street, to the castle gate. At this entrance to the ancient ducal seat, a spacious triumphal arch was erected, through which a beautiful view of the ruined portion of the old castle, now crum bling to ruin and covered by ivy, was obtained. The arch was almost exclusively composed of ever greens, and bore two inscriptions—" Victoria, 1846, Albert ;" and " Adeliza, 1139, Matilda"—in commemo ration of the present royal visit, and in reference to the former residence therein of the Empress Matilda, whose checkered fortunas obliged her, in 1139, to claim the protection of Adeliza, Queen of Henry 1., when the Empress landed in England to assert her claims against Stephen. The castle was then occupied by Queen Adeliza, from whom, in the female line, the noble house of Norfolk is descended. The mayor and municipal authorities having conducted her Majesty thus far, made way for the royal carriage to enter the court-yard. At precisely twenty-five minutes past four, the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert alighted from the royal carriage, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk ad vancing to offer their welcome. The royal standard was immediately hoisted on the flag-staff at the summit of the ancient keep, and a salute of twenty-one guns was discharged from the artillery in the Park to proclaim her Majesty's safe arrival. The band of the Yeomanry Cavalry played the National Anthem in honour of the presence of the Queen. The Marchioness of Douro, the Honourable Miss Napier, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable Charles Beaumont Phipps, were the Lady, Maid of Honour, and Equerry in Waiting on the Queen, and Colonel Bouverie, as Equerry, attended on Prince Albert. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were conducted by the Noble host and hostess to the principal drawing room, in which apartment the distinguished personages who reside at the Castle during the royal visit had as sembled to congratulate the august visitors. The Queen and the Prince shortly after retired to the suite of rooms apportioned for their accommodation. At dinner, the Queen was supported on her left by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Norfolk sitting on her Majesty's right hand. The dinner circle included the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, the Earl and Countess of Arundel and Surrey, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Viscount Morpeth, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lord Brook, Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, Lord Edward Howard, the Ladies Mary and Adeliza Howard, Mr. Edward Howard Gibbons, the Mayor of Arundel, and the following personages attached to the Court:—The Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Napier, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Chas. B. Phipps, and Colonel Bouverie. Covers were laid for thirty. The military band performed throughout the enter tainment on the grand staircase. There is to be - a display of fireworks this evening, and the town is to be generally illuminated. DREADFUL FIRE. This morning, between the hours of twelve and one, a fire of a most fearful character, by which it is supposed one or two persons lost their lives, broke out at 31, Cal craft-terrace, New-cut, Lambeth, known as the Exhibi tion of Nature and Art, the property of a Mr. Fergus son. From inquiries made during the burning of the fire, the reporter learned from the proprietor of the establishment, that whilst he and one or two other per sons were sitting in the front kitchen, they were sud denly alarmed at hearing a loud crackling noise proceed ing from the exhibition-room. Upon getting to the top of the staircase, they found that the eahibition was wrapped in one sheet of flame. An instant cry of " Fire" was raised by Mr. Fergusson, in order to arouse the other inmates of the place, but whilst he was endea vouring to wake them the flames made such fearful progress that it was with the greatest difficulty that any one could escape. As it was, the persons in the lower floor were severely singed in getting out. Intelligence having been sent to the engine stations, in the course of a few minutes the brigade engine from Waterloo-road was at the scene, followed immediately afterwards by the West of England firemen and engine. At that pe riod the flames had broken through the front window shutters, and they were rapidly extending themselves to the upper floors. Without delay the engines were set to work from an abundant supply of water furnished by the Lambeth Company. The exhibition being of a very inflammable character, the figures being composed prin cipally of wax, the flames rose with such rapidity, that before a drop of water could be discharged ,into the place, the building was fired from the ground to the roof. Under the direction of Mr. Hambleton and Mr. Sonnorton, the engines were worked with full vigour, in spite of which the fire still continued to burn most fu riously, and before one o'clock they had burnt through the roof, when the inhabitants of the several surround ing houses became apprehensive that the conflagration would prove of a most extensive character. Other en gines of the brigade, with Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the D section, and Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, followed each other in rapid succession, with the County engine. By strenuous exertions on the part of the fire men the flames were got down by half-past one, but not until the exhibition of wax-work figures, the living ser pents and monkey, were destroyed. The whole of the furniture in the upper floors is likewise consumed, and there is every ground to suppose that, at the least, one or two human beings have been hurried into eternity by this calamitous event. Mr. Fergusson assured the re porter that he was fearful a daughter of his housekeeper had perished in the flames, but he was quite certain that a female dwarf, named Robertson, had been burnt to death. He stated that she was sleeping in the back room third floor, and had not the least possibility of effecting her escape. How the fire originated cannot be ascertained. Mr. Fergusson estimates the loss of his exhibition alone at upwards of 1,000/. Inspectors Horns by and Rogers, of the M and L divisions, with a strong muster of police, were present, and rendered great ser vice to the firemen, by keeping the immense crowd out of danger.

Never theless, by more frequent intercourse with the British population of India, they might gradually divest themselves of their more detestable vices of treachery lnd territorial spoliation. That there is a feasiblility in this we are persuaded from the plastic and pliable character of the human intellect, and the possibility there is of reforming the most obdurate dispositions. Since our last intelligence the affairs of the Maha raja Guomas Stroau have alternated from confusion to order, from insurrection to tranquillity, from con flict to capitulation. The rebellious Mahomedan Go vernor of Cashmere, EMAUM•OOD•DEEN, has tendered his submission to the Chief of Jamoo. Instead of de fending the valley against the assaults of his new master, and of inciting his fanatical followers to maintain their independence, he has consented to sur render, on condition of his personal safety being guaranteed, and of certain confiscated property being restored. Whether the Sheik has been driven to this determination by the three adverse encounters be tween his soldiers and their assailants, or by alarm at the formidable assistance afforded to GHOOLAB SINGH by the British Government, and the Lahore Durbar, is somewhat questionable. We suspect that both these circumstances combined have allayed the confidence and dissipated the am bitious dreams of ENIAIISI.OOD•DEEN. He has yielded to the first assaults upon the almost im pregnable passes of Cashmere; he has readily suc cumbed to the arguments of the Seikh plenipo tentiary, DEWAN HUICEEM RAE, and has resigned all pretensions to that bauble of command to which he had prematurely aspired. There is pusillanimity in this hasty retractation of enmity, but it is a pusillanimity which will be universally beneficial. Although the valley of Cashmere was not actually delivered into the possession of GHOOLAB Small on the departure of the mail, there did not exist the vestige of a doubt as to the certainty of that terri tory being immediately occupied by the followers of the Maharaja of the Hills. By this arrangement, the British troops will be no longer under the necessity of co-operating with the Seikhs in subduing a refractory province. It is to be earnestly hoped that such a necessity will not occur again very speedily. It is to be hoped that the chiefs of Jamoo, of Lahore, of Mooltan, and elsewhere, will be enabled to maintain the integrity of their own dominions and the proper submission of their own people without requiring the strength, the advice, and the blood of the English on every petty emergency. It is to be hoped that the peace of India will be of a longer continuance than heretofore, and that the social condition of its inhabitants will thereby obtain a material and appreciable advance ment. By their recent interference in the domestic govern ment of GHOOLAB Smell, the English have evinced remarkable generosity ; that must be allowed. For getting all former animosities, and discarding the remembrance of the treacheries and cruelties of the Maharaja, they have extended the hand of friend ship to him in his difficulties, they have leagued their banners with his, they have drawn the sword and blown the trumpet in his cause. What will be the recompense of this generosity ? When tempting advantages may present' themselves to GHOOLAB SINGH, will he remember the passes of Cashmere, the garrison of Jamoo, the conquest of EMAUM-00D-DEEM ? Will he recur to this instance of European magnanimity with feelings of gra titude and admiration ? We remember that Mr. HAZLITT remarks somewhere in his " His tory of Napoleon Bonaparte," that our bitterest enemies are frequently those to whom we do a kindness. It is a bitter reflection to men who have formed an elevated conception of human na ture ; but it is an observation the truth of which must have been sorely felt by many of us. We are sanguine as to the distant regeneration of the Oriental race; yet the discovery of gratitude and magnanimity in GHOOLAB SINGH appears to be as hopeless as squaring the circle, or explaining the theory of the librations of the moon to the comprehension of an idiot. When it was once ascertained that public opinion had acquired sufficient strength to insure the repeal, sooner or later, of the corn-laws, and it was known that Sir R. PEEL had determined to chime in with the popular sentiment, not a few Members of St. Stephen's reconciled themselves to the important con cession, from the belief that British skill, industry, and energy, would, in the end, safely triumph over the competition which the foreigner might be enabled to enter into with the home producer. It was this conviction that happily conduced to swell the late Minister's majorities upon his great measure of the past session. Sir. R. PEEL derived further advantages in the 'Prosecution of his arduous task from the reputation he had justly acquired of being in every sense a practical statesman, which, joined to the fact that the Minister's own personal interests were almost entirely identified with the land, had the salutary effect of converting many an agri cultural alarmiit to the reasonableness and necessity of abandoning the protective system. Moreover, Sir R. PEEL has proved himself to be the greatest financier of his age, and whilst advocating different large schemes relating to our trade and commerce, he invariably combated the desponding views of his opponents, by expressing his firm reliance upon the intelligence, zeal, and unrivalled spirit of enterprise, for which our country is famed throughout the globe, as affording the safest guarantees against the fulfilment of the timid apprehensions which induced resistance to his policy of commercial renovation, Whenever the ex-Minister, from the foregoing con sideration, and over and above the intrinsic merits and special arguments he had to develop, predicted success to any particular project, the prediction never failed. His anticipations in favour of tke unrelaxing vigour of the British capitalist, through whatever channel he may design his wealth to flow, have ever been jus tified ; and there can be no doubt that when Sir R. PEEL, during the stormy debates on the last Corn Bill, confidently dilated upon the renowned skill and boundless enterprise of his countrymen, he did much to conciliate support, and to remove the gloomy forebodings of the protectionists. Short as is the time that has elapsed, what do we perceive ? Is there any sympton of downheartedness ? Are there any misgivings as to the political foresight of Sir R. PEEL? On the contrary, do we not know that the farmers, generally, are quite contented and buoyant with hope ? Their hope rests not upon the present prices of corn, which are unquestionably to some degree sustained by reason of the potato failure, but is mainly derived from a due appreciation of their own feelings of self-reliance and spirit of thorough independence. Already have many of the great proprietors of the soil come forward to encourage this unwavering spirit of their principal farmers and tenants. A cheerful co-operation has been promised to them by Earl TALBOT and others. Long leases and other healthy stimulants, towards augmenting the productiveness of the lands, will be granted to such as are able and willing to accept of them. In the place of political gatherings for idle remon strance, we have seen agricultural societies uniting their minds and hearts for the purpose of assisting the farmer in his tillage of the earth, with all the aids which the lights of science can, or may hereafter, fur nish. A large portion of the literary efforts of the country is being advantageously bestowed in further ance of the same national duty. The Edinburgh Review has shown itself, and with considerable ability, to be actuated with the like ennobling intent. In an article, recently furnished, it has convincing l y shown h ow much has been hitherto wrought in the cultivation of British soils ; how surprisingly much is being successfully undertaken to increase their cereal products, and with what reasonable cheerfulness we may, by fresh exertions and novel Scotland pre sents a ha ppy appliances, free ou r mar kets from any fear whatever of foreign compe tition. picture, which may we ll be regarded with pride, of the singular resu l ts atta i na bl e by art over the inat tractive barr enness o f na t ure . In no country have the industry, and innate skill of the peasantry effected more wonderful changes overunfavourt d tracts of land. To Scotland has England been, and indeed is daily, much i n d e b te d f or the agricultural advance ment she has ma d e , an d is making. "Necessity is the mother of i nven ti on ;" th e truth of the adage has been credit a bl y exe mplified by the compara tive excellence to which the Caledonian husbandman has attained. In every crisis he manfully puts his shoulder b the wheel. He relies upon himself. Visited in parts severely with the potato murrain, the Scotch have, nevertheless, by their self-reliance, and well-timed and spirited benevolence, so managed their affairs, that the cry of distress has scarcely become known beyond the borders. We think the Irish landlords would do well to take a lesson from them. Example is better than precept. It is invidious to individualise where so much has been done in a country at large ; but the extra ordinary exertion:, of Mr. RIGBY WASON in pro moting the cultivation of his estate to an extent of six miles beween Parhill and Newton Stewart, where moorlands of a most discouraging description have been thoroughly reclaimed, justify our peculiar praise. Works like these render men the great be nefactors of mankind. To those who have the means and power of imitating them we would say, " Go ye and do likewise." The Frankfort Gazette des Cortes gives the follow ing from Berlin, under date of the 22d ult.:— " The news from Vienna, that the Government had established a bank of discount for shares and industrial securities, and especially railroad shares, has produced so favourable an impression, as to cause a rise of 4 per cent. on some of the Austrian industrial securities, and 2i per cent. on some of the Prussian, and all railroad shares are in demand. " Business was very flat. It is true that it was said that money was scarce, but money was never scarce for well-grounded operations. The financial crisis would have ceased long since had the Government taken any step, showing it took an interest in railroad under takings." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm, and American and Surat have advance Fl. per lb. compared with last Friday's rates. Sales 9,000 bales, of which 5,000 were on speculation. 500 Pernams and Maranhams sold at 61d. to 7d.; 600 Egyptian at lid. to gld.; and 300 Surat at 4d. to 41d. per lb. Shares were much the same. The Liverpool Albion,ln speaking of the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Railway, says, "The opinions in favour of this undertaking are so general, especially in regard to its sanatory results in connexion with Liverpool, that we understand it will come before Par liament with the support of nearly all the interests affected by it. The sale of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, went off with spirit, and the better descriptions of registered shares sold freely at fall quota Lions. The following are a few of the principal sales : London and Manchester (Remington's) 9 0 Madrid and Valencia 1 1 0 Leicester and Bedford Eastern Counties, York Extension 3 13 6 Newry and Enniskillen ........ Shropshire Union and Canal Churnet and Blythe Sambre and Meuse • • London and South-Western, Tenths 5 10 0 York and Carlisle (scrip) 1 4 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham Lend ,n and Blackwall, New . 4 7 I Paris and Lyons 4 18 0 Vale of Neath 1 8 0 Great Luxembourg Direct Northern (scrip) 2 0 0 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire Great Northern .... South Wales At the present moment, when so much interest is shown for the receipt of information connected with supplies of grain, flour, &c., from the United States and Canada, the following news is of peculiar interest:— " The rise of freights in our domestic commerce (states a New York authority) is a most important movement. " We learn from a most intelligent gentleman, that on the lakes there is not half tonnage enough to bring the produce to market ; that although every steam-boat vessel is actually employed in transporting goods, and is ' realising fifty per cent. advance, yet in the states of Ohio and Michigan, one half the wheat and flour will be de tained until next season, for want of vessels to bring it away. On the canals freights are 50 per cent. above what they were, and although every thing in the shape of a boat, is actually employed, yet a large portion of the produce will not, for want of facili ties, reach our market. The want of capacity, in our canals, is now deeply felt. The loss to the people of this and other states, from this cause, it is said, will be of the most serious and injurious character. " The demand for vessels to foreign ports continues as great, if not greater than ever. A number of vessels are arriving from the east and many are building, yet freights are beyond any point yet. All the packets are engaged for some time to come. Vessels are taken up for places, which, until now, were hardly known. To Cork, 4s. is paid for flour, and Is. for grain ; to Newry, ls. ld. To the different ports of Scotland and Ireland vessels are wanted, while to London, Havre, Belgium, and Holland, there continue to be large shipments. " Accounts from Kingston, Upper Canada, state that the greatest possible activity prevails amongst our for warders here, some of whom are employed all night as well as all day, in shipping produce to its respective des tination before the navigation closes. " Oa Sunday we bad a cold, wet easterly wind; Mon day the wind changed, and the thermometer rose to the temperate point, and so continued all night, and Tuesday was the same, with a clear sunshine, the commencement, we should say, of our Indian summer. This day, Wed nesday, at daylight, the thermometer stood at 45, and at eight at 50, with rather a cloudy, though fine weather, sky." - _ The East India advices have been considered here as favourable, and there is no doubt but that if the tran quillity of the countries around our territory can be secured, trade will improve. The natives merchants appear to be rather short of money, and this might arise from want of confidence. There is , nothing of importance from the Continent to-day. The foreign - ,exchanges, except upon < Paris, were barely supported yesterday afternoon. Amsterdam and llamburgh were both lower. The Stock Market has been favourably influenced again by the intelligence from India, and the resump tion of purchases by the brokers acting for corporations, &c., serves also to further the impulse. The value of Consols is 95 to 9'si for the present transfer, and the same for account. On Exchequer-bills the premium is 75..t0 -10 s. only. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have risen to 95i and 96i. and the Three per Cents. to 94k Bank Stock is 2071 to 206 i. The Foreign Investments have been dull. Spanish Five per Cents. are 261 i, and the Three per Cents. 37i, beim , . steady. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 33 to -. Mexican have improved to 227 8 , the accounts being more favourable to the republic. The Share Market has been very good again, but prices have not improved pari passu with the funds. Birmingham and Oxford Junction are rather better, North Western have been firm, Midland, Norfolk, and North British are higher. There is a good deal doing in the York and Midland lines.

FURTHER PARTICULARS. From inquiries made upon the spot at a late hour this morning, we were informed that as soon as circumstances would permit, the firemen made an examination of the premises, and under the pile of charred timber they found the body of the female dwarf, who formed a portion of the exhibition. Her lower extremities were much burned, and her features considerably disfigured. Sloe Lad retired to rest in an upper apartment. The servant, who also resided in the house, we believe, escaped uninjured. The body of the dwarf was con veyed to Waterloo Church, to await a coroner's inquest. MEADOWS' SPANISH GRAMMAR.--ThiS is a very , useful little volume. The author is evidently well ac quainted with the language. It will materially assist all students, and it contains much valuable information in a small compass. Meadows' Grammar is one which we would highly recommend to all desirous of learning Spanish. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.,...TIIE LATE BREVET.— We understand that towards the end of this week the head-quarters and five or six companies of the 74th Highlanders may be expected in Glasgow from Aber been, by way of Edinburgh, to be stationed in that gar rison. We believe also that the 2d battalion Royal re .giment is to proceed from Edinburgh to Manchester, there to be stationed for the present. We are informed that it has been notified that all the staff officers lately promoted by brevet are to continue to act in their former appointments in their respective localities until the close of the quarter ending 31st December instant.—Ca ledonian Mercury. ARCTIC EXPEDITION. —The Truelove, Captain Parker, the last of the whalers from Davis' Straits, ar rived at this port on Monday night, the 23d instant, with two fish, about 20 tuns of oil, and reports that no intelli gence whatever had been heard during the season of the Terror, commanded by Sir John Franklin, and the Erebus, in the command of Captain Crozier, the vessels sent out by the Admiralty in the spring of 1845 to seek a north-west passage. They were supposed to be up Lancaster Sound, but on account of the great body of ice to the north, none of the whalers had this year pene trated in search of them. —Hull Paper.

FALL IN THE PRICE OF iiDTTOIIoWe do not know if the statement in the London papers, as to the royal disfavour into which mutton has fallen, be the cause or not, but it has fallen in price here this week, in consequence of a fall in the price of sheep at several sales in the neighbourhood. Three-year-old wedders, which, a few weeks ago, were worth from 255. to 28s. a head, have been sold as low as 21s. ; and good mutton is now selling in town at .sd. per lb.; 6d., and 7d., having been the average prices previously.—Pirth Courier. ADMIRAL SIR G. COCICBURN. — With pleasure we learn that public rumour has very much exaggerated the illness of Sir G. Cockburn. We are assured, on the best authority, that he has only had a slight attack of para lysis in his left arm, but is now rapidly recovering. THE BRIG CONTEST, or LONDON.—A letter was received at Lloyd's, yesterday afternoon, from the Ad miralty, announcing that the senior officer on the coast of Africa had reported that Lieut. Alston, in charge of her Majesty's ship Pantaloon, had, on the 3d July last, seen the brig Contest, of London, on shore off Alignay, and that in half an hour she broke up. Master, mate' and a boy drowned, in attempting to reach the shore ; three men saved. _ _ _ Such is the scarcity of labourers that the guardians of the Sheffield union have been requested to send to a farming gentleman in the neighbourhood every m an sp ying to them for relief who may be capable of per forming agricultural labour.—Sheffield Timer.

We have seldom perused dispatches from Born_ bay with such peculiar gratification as those which have just arrived. Everything that was gloomy, foreboding, and unpropitious was condensed into the preceding intelligence. With the present informa tion almost all our recent fears of a sanguinary campaign in consequence of the insurrections in Cashmere have been dissipated. Nor is this the only satisfactory consideration. Sinde is reported to be in a comparative state of tranquillity,—a circum stance to be marvelled at like a mermaid or an unicorn. Caubul, in like manner, is described to be agitated by nothing more formidable than the pageantries and festivities consequent upon the mar - riage of the redoubtable MAHOMED AILBAR KHAN to the daughter of the supreme ruler of Herat. There is a probability, moreover, of the peaceful settlement of affairs in Mooltan, notwithstanding the rumour which is prevalent of the movement of troops in that direction. Before the departure of DEWAN MOOLRAJ MOOLTANEE from Lahore, we are sanguine that the immediate difficulties opposed to the pacification of that province may be removed. Until such an arrange ment be completed the stability of the Durbar will continue to be most precarious. By certain inexpensive and otherwise harmless concessions, the revolt might be " nipped in the bud," and its recurrence thereby ren dered almost impossible. In the anxiety of the new administration to maintain its influence, and to perpe tuate its power, we have the best guarantee for the prosecution of the pending negotiations in a man ner the most calculated to produce the desired effect. The numerous and conflicting insinuations which have been latterly afloat to the discredit ofthe Lahore Government are proved to have been singu larly fallacious. As we intimated in our last, for example, there was a report of the faith• lessness of the Durbar to the Chief of Jamoo, a man whom they were described to regard as nothing better than a successful rebel, and to treat with corresponding hypocrisy. That faithlessness now appears to have existed merely in the imaginations of those who disseminated the calumny. We are heartily rejoiced at this disclosure, not from any credulous expectation of beholding an eternal quietude and a continuous candour in those re gions, but because we are satisied that there does exist a dim and remote possibility of inoculating our Eastern neighbours with somewhat of the dis relish for systematic perfidy and of the lust for incessant rapine and bloodshed, which is felt by the more enlightened among the Europeans. In its very nature the Oriental heart is per meated with treachery; the children of the East appear to imbibe an intense lore for perfidy with the maternal milk ; deceit is a portion of their vitality. Their governments exist only by a homi cidal terrorism. From such a race, therefore, it were insanity to expect any friendship upon which implicit reliance could be placed. We should be leaning not only upon a broken reed, but upon a reed hollow A letter from Berlin, of the 25th ult., says— __ " The incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian States causes a great prejudice to Prussian manufac tures, which enjoyed a large reduction in the entrance duties into that ancient Polish Republic ; in conse quence, the manufacturers of all the towns of Prussia address representations on the subject to our Govern ment. Yesterday there arrived at Berlin a numerous deputation of manufacturers and merchants from Bres law (Silesia), with M. Kohlmann, the burgomaster, at its head, and which solicits an audience from the King, to expose to his Majesty the injury which the new po sition of Cracow inflicts on the manufactures of all Silesia." The morning journal (Morgenzeitang) of Hanover published the news of the incorporation of Cracow with Austria on a sheet with a black border, in sign of mourning. Madrid papers of the 24th have arrived. The Ecuador expedition is completely at an end. At the very moment that the navy of General FLORES was seized in the Thames his army was dispersed in Biscay. The Clamor Public() publishes the follow ing extract from a letter dated Vittoria, Nov. 20:— '• The expedition of General Flores is at an end, in consequence of the revolt of his troops at the depots of Durango, and that of Ordana, who, on being commanded to march to Santander for embarkation, dispersed through the country." Rumours were again rife in Madrid of an ap proaching modification in the Cabinet. It is said that ISTURITZ will retire from the Presidency of the Council, and will be succeeded by Senor MoN. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 24.—The Three per Cents. closed at 34k; the Four per Cents., at 20i ; the Five per Cents., at 21a; the Coupons, non-capitalized, 19&. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. Most of them comment on the manifesto of the physical force republicans, published in the National a few days previously , and it is satisfactory to find that the physical fordo Aoctrine is repudiat(id by all influential parties in France, as it is by all influential parties in England. The Liberals of all countries are now perfectly convinced , that it is , by moral force, and moral force alone, that oppression can be successfully combated, and that aggressive physical force is the distinguishing characteristic of tyranny, to the establishment of which it inevitably tends, whether used by autocratic despots in the name of what they miscall " order," or by physical force democratic tyrants in the name of what they equally miscall " liberty." But, while:repudiating the phy sical force doctrines of the National, we are rejoiced to find the Journal des Debats excusing 'the enunci ators of them, on the ground that violence begets violence, and that the language of the National is the natural result of the acts of the Northern Powers, who have first set the example of violating all law, and justice, and truth. The Debats concludes in these words In blaming the authors of the manifesto of the French democracy, it is impossible , not to carry our blame higher. We have, after all, only words and in tentions to reprehend in this work of revolutionists ; the destruction of the republic of Cracow by the Northern Courts is an act—the violation of the treaties of Vienna is a thing perpetrated. Absolute Sovereigns, ycu complain of factions ! We detest them as much as you. We are exposed the first to their rage. We are not ignorant that they are watching a favourable moment to fling themselves on society, and to endeavour again to devour it. Commence, therefore, by having the right against factions, for fear they may one day possess force against you ! Do not give them an example of violating the right ! Do not authorise by your acts their declamations against Governments and kings ! M. Lamennais and M. Ledru Rollin may entitle themselves, as much as they like, the organs of the French demo cracy—they represent only themselves. If they speak or act as factious men, it is their business ; they are subject to the law ; their example has only a limited contagion. But you, who are the heads of nations, it is to you that have been confided the guardianship and defence of social principles. You represent justice, or you ought to represent it. A single act like the violent and unjust destruction of Cracow shakes the principle of right more than a hundred manifestoes like that of M. Lamennais !" The Siecle, the organ of the Odilon Barrot party, is still more energetic in its repudiation of physical force doctrines. It says— " What has most offended us in the manifesto of the Radical party—what we condemn most highly—is the appeal in biblical style to popular vengeance —the allu sion to the wailing and gnashing of teeth—the threat, in fine, of a long series of disorganizations and confusion for France, leading her through blood and fire to the rule of right and liberty, as it is construed by radicalism. These are extremities,' they say, to which no people resign themselves until all other hopes of maintaining their privileges and their honour have vanished.' We are told that France has no longer a choice of means— that those who henceforth recoil from an appeal to force can no longer expect to find repose even in their shame. An appeal to force ! Against what enemy ? against what cause?—within what limits? If we must begin at home by destroying our constitutional Govern ment, before any notorious act of treason is committed, before any flagrant provocation has been given to unite all conviction—all hearts; if one-half our citizens are to arm themselves against the other half—if France is to have at one and the same time two banners, two causes, two armies—shall we be so much the stronger against a foreign enemy? You talk of allies of the democratic principle in Europe. We know them as well as you do, and can rely upon them in the hour of danger. But they are the allies of a Liberal Government, as well as of your imaginary republic. It is asked, where is this Liberal Government to be found ? We reply that it may exist in the course of a twelvemonth, in a few months, even to-morrow, without costing a drop of blood, a single excess to France. For this she has no need to renounce her prin ciples ; she has only to act according to them. Is it more easy to attain by the execution of the designs of the Radicals the union of the country, the consolidation of its rights, the salvation of its liberty ? These are far beyond the reach of the power of the Radicals. We have already said this, and we again repeat it. But we, nevertheless, recognise the real influence of the Radical party. This influence, which is daily increased by the faults of the Government, and which may increase it until it becomes fatal, will be seen to disappear as soon as it has the good sense to seek its strength and safety in the free assent of the country , instead of searching for it in corruption and intrigue. We will , if it be ne cessary, contend against the b l i nd ness both of the Go vernment and of the Radical party. We can never acknowledge, either in t his Gover nment, given u p to apostates, or in the inveterate violence of a port i on cf the Radical party, the sincere representati ves of the grand democracy of France." A good feeling towards England is, we are glad to see, manifested by all the journals of all parties, save aoifn mightsthteA Pre sse, a s v ers e isae b and except the Presse, which is entirely under Rus sian and dynastic influence.
