DR UR Y EATRE. • MAGAZINES -=--(CON TIN U ED). DOUGLAS JERROLD'S. The plot of " St. Giles and St. James" begins to thicken. In the present chapter We have an account of the forced abduction of Clarissa, while out riding with St. Giles in attendance on her, by Robert Willis, the murderer, assisted by Tom Blast, who knocks down St. Giles, and threatens to denounce him as an escaped convict should he venture to raise an alarm. The pap er entitled -I 'Time v. Labour," is a well put argument against the Ten Hours' Bill, a measure which would deprive the poor man of one-sixth of his only estate—his time. "The Advance of the Masses" is an eloquent pleading for non-sectarian education, and the paper which immediately follows it i 3 a caustic satire, by Paul Bell, on the absurdity of feasts at funerals. "Fables for Foolish Fellows" are continued, and in a poem, entitled "A Vision of Old Fames," we have a prophecy (may it be a true one) that "there shall be no more war." One of the most amusing papers in the numbar is Angus Reach's " Signs of the Olden Times." It is delightful to find plain common sense brought to bear in this amusing way against the net altogether harmless absurdities of the romantic Yoling Englanders, who are eternally regretting the old feudal times. Listen to Angus Reach's common sense description of those much be- ; lauded feudal times, and— " The feudal times were no doubt very nice times in deed to write novels about, but, on the whole, I think, they are best admired at a distance. Ruined castles are very beautiful things—in ruins. I doubt much, how ever, whether there ten-feet- thick walls, garnished with `Loop-hole grates where captives wept,' were such agreeable objects of contemplation to the un protected foot traveller, as now-a-days when we catch sight of their crumbling remnants from a speeding rail way train. The truth is, that the baronial keeps of old were very much of the same nature with those estab lishments, which, in modern thieves' dialect, are deno minated kens,' and fences,'—in other words—refuees for robbers, and receptacles for stolen goods. The man,' said King James V. of Scotland, pointing to a Border Castle, the man who built that tower was a thief in his heart.' Indeed it is a pretty patent fact, that not a few of the 'great old families' of England would be, at this present moment, 'great old families' in Norfolk Island, had an effective system of metropo litan and detective police existed in the times of their founders—the Burke-lamented days of chivalry. _ "No doubt both the 4 House' and the Castle dealt, and still deal in monies and merchandise ; the difference simply is, that the former makes ventures with its own property—the latter, whenever it could, operated upon other people's. Thus th e merc h ant, now a-days, ,enters upon a speculation—the feudal gentleman rode a foray : he of the counting-house has dealing s with other count ing houses—he of the castle had dealings with other castles ; but they were confined in most cases to the pillaging line of business. Tho man of the ledger col lects his debts—the man of the lance gathered in his black mail. The one has his clerks, the other had his moss-troopers. The first has his correspondents, the other had his spies. The former rears cities—the latter burned villages. " Taking this view of the case, and looking at a good many of the founders of our ancient families as gentle men well to do in the burglary and sheep -stealing lines of business, nothing can be more appropriate than the mottoes which they chose," to hint the nature of their callings. The old legend of the Scots of Harden was Reparabit cornea Phrase,' in plain English, There will soon be moonlight.' The hint is most suggestive. You could no more misunderstand it than you can the ' Coun try orders carefully attended . to' of the tradesmen in the next street. Moonlight !—Can we mistake the delicate insinuation. Diana's foresters I—Gentlemen of the shade I—Minions of the moon I" The ancient motto of the Buceleugh family was similar—' Best riding by moonlight.' Yes—especially when one is burdened with his neighbours' goods, or is making off surreptitiously with his own. The Cranstoun family boasts a peculiarly self-deny ing and Christian legend. It is Thou. shalt want ere I want.' But as Lord John Manners will tell us—there was such high-minded gerier;)sity in the soaring chivalry of yore ! 4 Per ignuni et gladium,' the motto of another noble family, breathes a fine spirit of peace and good will towards men—strikingly contrasted with the sordid and selfish dictum, • Buy in the cheapest market, sell in the dearest,' of modern shopkeeping days. Forth for tune, and fill the fetters,' would be a very good legend for a turnkey or a bailiff. It happens, however, to be that of the Athol family, who probably distinguished their pursuits from those of more ignoble cagers of cri minals, by carefully abstaining from making legal cap tures, and only filling their fetters' with those who might be instrumental in filling the pockets of their cap tors. Grip fast' is a piece of advice we have seen on an ancient scutcheon. It was probably quite supereroga tory. Ride through! is another legend, which may, I presum?, be rendered Don't stand on bones—Go the whole hog—Make a clean sweep.' While such maxims as ' Spare !weight' frweedale)—' A ma puissance,' (Stamford and Warrington) give a fine notion of the power and the disposition of-the magnates of those good old times which Young - England would fain dig up in all their festering rottennes s from the grave. " But no—they are gone —past recall. The workshop and the counting-house have put down the castle and the keep. The spirit and the symbols of the ancient age are outworn together. Burglary, highway robbery, and arson, would not, now-a-days, be accounted a brilliant foray, or killing, no murder ; while the peaceful mer chants, who now hold the sway, once exercised but by titled robbers and gold spurred burglars, would hardly think of confor m i ng so f ar to the spirit of times gone by, as—in forming a company, or entering upon a commer cial speculation—boldly to blazon a device as a pair of loaded scales, graced with such a motto as Success to Swindling.' In addition to these articles we have some cleverly written tales and an admirable paper, entitled " Social Barbarisms," being an eloquent pleading on behalf of the illused and much maligned race, domestic ser vants—which we commend to the attentive perusal of all masters and mistresses. Let them treat their servants as fellow-creatures, as members of the family, as continental masters and mistresses treat their ser vants, and " Chubb'a Locks and Patent Detectors," will become superfluities. As this writer well ob serves, "IN o substitute can be found for fellow-feeling —no patent German silver benevolence can supply the place of the genuine human heart." English servants are, "as a body, the worst in the world," only be cause " they are treated as inferior, until they are made in inferior." - Notice is hereby given, that ail of Scrip Certificates for shares in this undertukinv, who do not apply for the Midland Stock to which they are entitled before the 20th of NOVEMBER next, will A new Ballet Divertissement, entitled Uize Kermes, was produced here last evening, for the purpose of introducing Monsieur Paul and Monsieur Tell to the English public. 'The former appeared in a grand pas de deux Kith Mademoiselle Adele Benert, and the latter in a pas de deux with Mademoiselle Anita Dubignon. They are both excellent artistes for male dancers, but a dancing man seems always out of place. Nevertheless, dancing men are necessary —the deesses de la danse require support ; but while they are deesses, their male coadjutors can be but mere mortal—they can be but the Endymions to the goddesses of the night. As such, MM. Paul and Tell were deserving of all praise ; they are artistes in the best sense of the word, and will add greatly to the efficiency of the Drury lane corps. The divertissement was preceded by the opera of Stradella, and succeeded by Der Frieschutz. With regard to the latter opera, we must say that it would not have derogated from the dignity of Signor Schiri if he had conducted it himself, although perhaps the music lost nothing from being entrusted to Mr. Hughes, the talented leader of the orchestra ; yet certainly the music of Weber is as worthy the atten tion cf the musical conductor of a theatre, as that of Flotow. We should have thought that, to a musician fond of his art, it would have been a labour of love to have presided in the orchestra over the performance of such an opera as Der Freischutz. The house, we were glad to see, was exceedingly well attended. forfeit the next half-yearly dividend thereon, and be subjected to the expeme of a stamped transfer, its all stock remaining unclaimed up to that date must be registered in the names of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman or the Cumyiany.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE, Miss Laura Addison acted the character of Isabella, in Measure for 2ifTeasure, at this theatre, last evening. She has hitherto appeared in what may be called conventional characters. In the Patrician's Daughter, the character in which she made her dead, it was impossible to avoid a comparison with Helen Faucit, and as Helen Faucit had made the character it was almost impossible to give Miss Laura Addison fair play in the comparison. The same observation holds good with regard to Pauline Deschappelles, in the Lady of Lyons, the next character in which Miss Addison appeared ; then, with regard to Juliet, an actress is almost tied down to conventionalities. Her acting in these characters have satisfied us that she possessed genius, and we have therefore anxiously looked forward to her appearance in a Shakesperian character in which she would not come into comparison with any of her predecessors; in Is hich, while on the one han3, she could have no recollections to assist her, on the other, her auditors would have no prejudices of previous readings of the part to warp their judgment. Such a character is Isabella in Measure for Measure, and having attentively watched her development of the character, we have no hesitation in saying that Miss Laura Addison possesses more gedus than any other tragic actress on the stage, not excepting Miss Helen Faucit herself. What, for instance, can com pare with her grand scene with Angelo ? How fine is the contrast between her beautiful pathos in begging her brother's life of the stern judge—her maiden-like simplicity in not under standing his dark hints, which to her pure mind are incomprehensible, and her indignant rejec tion of his suit, when at last the old miscreant speaks plainly out. It was the beautiful elevating itself na turally, and by the force of circumstances, into the sublime. Again, what could be more energetic, more powerful, more true to nature, than the scene which follows with her brother Claudio. How grandly did she, the feeble girl, inspirit the timid brother to accept death rather than dishonour; and how superior in the native dignity did she ap pear to those who could consent to set life in the one scale and honour in the other. We repeat it, Miss Laura Addison has more genius than any ether actress on the stage, but she is not such an ac complished artiste as others are. She has somewhat yet to learn, but she wants nothing but what she can he taught, and she will learn it too, and that quickly, and do credit to her teachers. "She will profit by the lesson they may teach her, and it shall go hard but she will better the example." There are many poets of the present day who aspire to write tragedies—let them study Miss Laura Addison's peculiar powers— let them write for her, and we will answer for it, if there is anything actable in their tragedies she will make them, for it is the gift of genius such as hers to make from its own reflected light even mediocrity shine. She was very excellently supported. The Angelo of George Bennett was a fine piece of acting; and the Duke, of Phelps, albeit too Macreadyish—(we recollect Phelps at Exe ter before he saw Macready, he would have acted better then)—was very good. Marston's Claudio was finely conceived, and his lugubrious voice told well in the character ; and Scharf, as Pompey, and A. Yonge, as the Constable, were quaint and amusing. The house was crowded to suffocation. announces his resignation The accomplishedegt L o i r lf ,Yr.. Miles Gerald Leon, magazine.

E. Price—to who m all su ccess in his edit or i a l capacity. It is told with a touching simplicity. From the next paper—a biographical essay upon Chris topher Columbus—we shall make one extract. This Catholic writer thus describes the first voyage across the Atlantic, and the divovery of land in the western hemisphere by the greatest of all ; --- nay..'atorg an d o .., one of the greatest of all men:— " After shriving hirnsslf, and receiving the blessed eucharist from the hands of Marchena, Columbus,most early on the morning of Friday, August 3, 1494, de parted from the bar of Saltes, near Palos, in the presence - of a prodigious multitude of spectators. Notwithstand ing the vastness of the enterprise, the instruments for its prosecution were miserably disproportioned. Three vessels comprised the fleet: one, La Santa Maria, com manded by Columbus himself ; another, La Pinta, by Martin Alonzo Pinzo n ; and the thir d , La Nina, by his brother Vincente Yanez Pinzon. The two latter ships were merely caravels and the whole convoy carried only one hundred and - twenty men. Providence seems in deed to have smiled propitiously upon the endeavour : the Great Spirit which had germinated such a craving in the mind of Columbus to explore the Atlantic, glassed its awful billows before him, strewed its surface with sun beams and tokens of ercouragement, and cooled its atmosphere with refreshing breezes. And Christopher responded to the, beneficence of the Deity ; throughout his long life ho responded to it ; his piety was not inter mittent or eccentric, it coloured his whole soul, and lent a new majesty diate to his majtic nature. His J ourna l , corn menced i a ft e r his departure from P a l os , min dicates the incessant and intense awe with which he re garded the great One of eternity: its opening paragraph is written, 'pi a. p. i l ostri Jesu . Clit i4i.' Columbus appears to have rendered t he dreaded pas;;a t y e 4evase o p ocean less perilous by certain improvements in the astro- 4 4. .fr ---' -_'''''. . 4.4 -. - ; ‘ . .. r ,,.---,,,, 5 ti N, „..,,,.,-,!..,----,, - t,, , )1.--i.

The circumstances which accom panied that first entrance into the watery realms of the western or can may be succinctly catalogued. On August 5. a rudd e r was damaged, and, on the following day, they rept dred the accident ; on Aug. 13, they reached the Canary 4slands, provisioned themselves anew, and, on Septi.nfoer 6, quitted Gomera. here the altercation of Christopher, with his mariners, coinnrenced ; and when vc. reflect upon his various devices to decrease their de spondency, and to exalt their anticipations ; his falla ejops reckoning in the common log-book ; his ingenitais explanation of that mysterious variation in the compass first observed on September 13, a variation which has been aptly classed among those phenomena " baffling the experience of the practical, and humbling the pride of science" (Irving, i., 203) ; his persistence in a westerly course, so as not to appear wavering, and this despite every inducement to a deviatio❑ ; his patient remon strance with his refractory crew ; his appeals to their cupidity and ambition —every circumstance throughout that most memorable of all voyages, demonstrates the valour, and the self-reliance, and the fortitude, and the almost presssieat certainty of success, which lived in the bosom of Columbus. The spectacle of that extraordi nary man standing undismayed amongst his enemies, in the midst of the then unknown Atlantic, is one of the most thrilling and instructive pictures ever presented to mankind. how affecting is the simplicity of that ex clamation of his, when the wind changed from E. to S.W. on Sept. 20, and thereby afforded a temporary pacification to his sailors, Alas, I much wanted this Icontrary wind' (Navaritta, al. de Viages, vol. i. 12), mucheo mefue necessario este viento contrario Even when his situation had become absolutely desperate, namely, when, on October 10, there was a proposition abroad among the mariners to throw him overboard and return homewards, the resolve of Christopher remained un shaken Oviedo, a somewhat credulous writer, declares that Columbus thereupon capitulated with his crew for three days longer. That assertion is proved to be a gross fabrication ; instead of yielding to the importuni ties and threats of these ignorant seamen, he actually changed fro - m expostulation to upbraiding, and pro !aimed to them, in their teeth, that he would proceed at every hazard. Sea weeds, birds with gorgeous and un usual plumage, branches covered with clusters of bril liant berries, land crabs floating upon casual pieces of timber, together with a multitude of similar tokens, assured them from time to time that the anticipations of tleir commander might not prove altogether illusory. Not, however, until the dawn of morning (Friday, October 12), was their credulity wholly vanquished. A glorious island lay before them, strewn with an un common verdure ; its shores covered with handsome savages, perfectly naked, saving bracelets of the purest gold, and fantastic plumes upon their heads ; forests of novel foliage clothing the hills ; fruits of a surprising aspect ripening on their boughs. " With trumpets blowing and banners waving, the mariners descended from their vessels, and glided in boats to the beach. Christopher Columbus, clad in a sumptuous garment of scarlet cloth, his while hair par tially concealed by a velvet cap, and bearing in his hand the gonfalon of Spain, landed in the western hemisphere, and, as Sportono finely exclaims, "with a grand footstep pressed the new world," e di grand' orma it 71110110 mondo imprima. Well does Washington Irving observe (Life of Col. i. 234), that it is difficult even for the imagina tion to conceive the feelings of such a man at ;he moment of so sublime a discovery !" While the re. pentant Spaniards were kneeling around the great Ad• miral to kiss his feet, and to implore his forgiveness, while the sun shone with an exceeding refulgence over those newly revealed regions, while the singular in habitants stood gazing at them in wonderment from the distance, the glorious heart of Columbus must have throbbed with a divine tumult. And worthily were his emotions evinced : he pressed his lips to that land for which his soul had yearned so long : he planted the cross among that godless people : he named the island San Salvador, an island formerly called Guanahani, and now reckoned amongst the Bahamas. 'Di/4 Salvatoris nomine iniposui,' he reverently writes to Raphael Sanxis (Bell. Christ. 116, date 1533), Cuju : sfretus auxtho, tam ad hanc quam ad ceeteras alias permit:illus.' He there in augurated the political and ecclesiastical existence of a hitherto unknown and gigantic hemisphere." The article from which the above is taken derives a peculiar interest from the recent festivities at Genoa in honour of the memory of the glorious but unfortunate Columbus. "Beauty and Glory," by M. G. Keon, is a charming poetical conceit ; and in another page of the magazine there are some beautiful and simple verses, " The Avowal," by E. E. M. K. " Recollec tions of Salzburg , and of the Sons of Don Carlos," is a laborious and interesting contribution ; and a brief, but brilliant continuation of Mr. Leon's " Catholic Man of Letters in London" terminates the number fur November. As an admirable specimen of the poetry scattered through Dolman, we quote the delicate verses of "The Avowal," already mentioned. THE AVOWAL. Read it in each tim'rous glance To thine own that trembles : There how oft revealed by chance, What the tongue dissembles. Read it on my burning cheek, With thy presence lighted ; Read it writ in letters bleak, By thy absence blighted. Hear it on my lips confessed, When they dare address thee : When in prayer ; in hours of rest ; When they wake to bless thee. Feel it in my trembling hand, In my hPart's wild beating, When beside thy side I stand— When our hands are meeting. Learn it by the look that broods— Anxious, wistful, haunting ; Saying crowds are solitudes, While one face be wanting. Trust it by a maiden's truth, By her pride's concession : Trust—for woman loves in sooth, When she deigns confession. DEER - STALKING.—Numbers of the largest-ant lered stags, which, from the oppressive heat of the first part of the season, roamed far and wide from their na tive glens, returned to their usual cornea by the begin ning of October, and, in consequence, some of the best heads have been secured to the deer-stalker. Sir St. George Gore, Bart., shot, near Strathvaitch, a stag with the largest head of horns that has been sent for preservation this season. The length of the beams of the horns, measured along their curves, is thirty-two inches; span at the greatest width of the bow, thirty inches, and armed with thirteen sharp pointed antlers. In course of the season, Sir St. George Goro has killed 27 red-deer and 4 roe-deer. The Marquis of Aber corn and party have killed in the Forest of Benalder, at Ardverichie, this season, 29 fine stags, the average weight of which, on the whole, was 17 stone, when cleaned ; the largest being 20 stone 4 lbs. ; of these 15 had royal antlers, 3 of them having 13 points. The largest head (a royal) was 39 inches in length, following the curve of the horn ; the brow antler being a foot in length, and th e p a l m at t h e b ase of the three upper points unusually large, b e i ng 1 0 i nc h es an d a quarter in circumference. The remaining heads had generally 10 or 11 points each. At Invershie, W. Evans, Esq., and Friends, had first-rate deer-stalking, having shot 25 in all—several of them with large heads. Capt. Inge and party have been equally successful in the glens of Fasnakyle. From Rhidorrach Forest we hare seen some large-horned deer—two very recently—all shot by John Hay Mackenzie, Esq. At Coigach, C. M. Camp bell, stalked and shot 5 red-deer. At Ardgour, H. St. John, Esq., got 2 during the last fortnight, making 4 for the season—all good heads. At Annat, Colonel Long secured 6 deer ; and at Loubcroy Mr. Jones got 2. In the woods at Ord, lately, Mr. Mackenzie and friends had a day of fine sport among the deer—John Mackenzie, Esq., Ness House ; E. Ut terton, Esq.; A. Mackenzie, Esq., yr. of Ord ; and T. Mackenzie, Esq., of Ord, having each killed a deer— the last, a large stag, which weighed, when clean, 17 stone 5 potends.—lnverness Courier. EARNINGS BY CONVICTS.—It is stated, in the Fourth Report to Parliament respecting Pentonville Prison (printed on Monday), that the progress made by the prisoners in their several trades had been creditable to them. Of the 107 prisoners sent abroad during the past year, 53 were taught trades who had never learned any previous to admission ; 39 who had a previous knowledge of one trade were taught a second ; and 15 were employed at their own trades. Of these, 86 were in the first trades' class, which consists of those who are capable of earning their living by the trade in which they have been instructed ; 17 were in the second class, which consists of those who, although not so far ad vanced as others, have a competent knowledge of their trade. Two were of the third class, which consists of those who are of inferior capacity, but willing and advancing ; and only two were of the fourth class, who, being careless and ignorant, had made but little progress. Of the 484 prisoners in confinement at the close of the past year, 171 were in the first class, 270 in the second, forty-one in the third, and two in the fourth class. The daily average number of prisoners in trades during the past year was 440. The total earnings in the year amounted to 2,8491. Ils. 4d.; j making the general average by each prisoner 61. 93. 61d. The total earnings, upon a daily average, of 448 pri soners in 1844 were 1,901/. Gs. 941.; and upon a daily average of 440 prisoners in 1845 the total earnings were 2,8491. Ils. 4d.; showing an increase of earnings during the past year of 9481. 4s. 7d. Various causes have tended to produce that increase,—.the addition of four trade instructors to the manufacturers' staff; an exten sion of the daily working hours; the saving of the time heretofore employed in the pump-labour, and now given to the working at trades; the application to trades of a considerable portion of the time heretofore given to school instruction , certain prisoners being allowed to stay away from school altogether, and the whol e o f th e first school having only one instead of two school days per week. The clear earnings of the prisoners were, after wafles of the manufacturers department were deducted, I,T tit. Qs. %1 7 EST ERN A usT RA lAA. --- The following intelligence from the Swan Ri ver settlement, on t h e western coast of Australia, an nouncing the highly important fact of the discovery of coal in the Murray district, and also the discovery of a new port on the same coast, has reached England in the almost incredibly short space of eighty-nine days. We are informed, that it was expressed by P. C. Singleton, Esq.,. (Government Resident) from the Murray district (Western Australia) to Perth ; from thence, by the exertions of Samuel Moore, E sq ., it was conveyed to Fremantle, and to Sincapore by ' Lieutenant Helpman, R.N. (From the Supplement Extraordinary to the Swan River News and Western Australian Chronicle [printed in London,] of Nov. 1.) LATE AND IMPORTANT FRIA WESTERN AUSTRALIA.—DISCOVERY OF COAL IN THE MURRAY DISTRICT. --A NEW PORT DISCOVERED. DISCOVERY OY A STRATUM OF COAL.—Mr. Samuel Moore, in a letter to the editor of the Inquirer, dated July 30, states that a drain running N.N.E., 100 yards long and about four feet deep, hiving been cut in a clay plain, on the lands of Mr. .Beacham, 35 miles south of Fremantle, and within a short distance of the Murray river, a stratum was discovered, about three feet from the surface, of clay, similar to the shale of Lancashire, run ning nearly horizontally along both sides of the drain, and containing shining substances like fractured coal em bedded in it, which, when burnt, produced gas and flame. On digging some yards east and west, the stratum was again met with, dipping to the west about two inches in the yard. On the east side a depth of 14i feet was reached, and the following strata passed throngh :-1, a yellow sandy clay.-2, yellow clay containing reddish spots.—a, shale clay containing black shining substances resembling coal.-4, brown clay.-5, azure blue clay, about six inches thick, containing veins of a black sub stance, in which the marks of large leaves were dis cernible.-6, blue clay, rather lighter than the last, and three feet thick.-7, dark brown clay, 46 inches thick.-- 8, hard sand, two feet and a half thick, and, 9, strong adhesive clay. Here the operations were stopped by the accumulation of the rain in the small shaft that has been sunk, but samples of the various strata were sub mitted to Mr. Birch (a chemist from Staffordshire), who at once pronounced them to be coal! Mr. F. C. Singleton accompanied Mr. Moore in his expedition of discovery, and gives a similar report. Both gentlemen have sent for the Swan River News full particulars of their impressions on the subject, and Mr. Moor e i n f orms us that he intends to send down a boring instrument forthwith to the field of operations. DISCOVERY or A NEW PonT.—ln Mangles Bay, at the south extremity of Cockburn Sound, and at a distance of three miles N. by E. from Peel's Harbour, a depth of water has been found of five and six fathoms at 100 yards from the sandy beach, and ten to eleven fathoms at a cable's length farther out, " on a buttons," - says Mr. Roe, the surveyor -general, " of the best possible holding ground, consisting of soft clay." The frontage of the splendid anchorage is the proposed town site of Rocking ham, and the country around being of a level character as far as the forests, Mr. Roe suggests that railways could be easily made to bring down the timber and shift it into the ship, which would be in perfect shelter with her bow or stern warped close to the shore. This port is to be named after the ex-Colonial Minister, and to be called "Port Gl a d stone. " The Surveyor- General was engaged in making the chart of this port, which is so well calculated to supply the want so long felt of good and secure anchorages on the western coast, the ports on the eastern shores of the islands being hitherto the only really excellent harbours of the colony since the irruption of the sea into Safety Bay ; but in this new port a line-of-battle ship may lie perfectly secure with her bowsprit almost on the shore. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The Thames, Royal Mail Steam Ship, Lieut. Philip llast, R.N., Com mander, arrived this evening, at seven o'clock, from the West Indies and Mexico. She brings the usual mails. The Thames has had very favourable weather during the whole voyage, and has arrived in excellent time ; in short, three days before she was due at the Post-office. Her freight consists of 311,400 dollars, all of which are on merchants' account ; 1,372 ounces of platina, 1,149 ounces of old silver, 5001. in British coin, 5,051 ounces of gold dust, 3001. worth of pearls, 114 barrels of sarsaparilla, two serous of indigo, 100 large cases of cigars, 59 barrels of arrowroot, &c. Her latest dates of departure are, llonduras, Sept. 20 ; Chagres. 25th ; Tampico, 24th ; Carthagena, 28th ; Vera Cruz, October 2 ; Demerara, 4th ; Trini dad, 6th ; La Gußra, 7th ; Barb a d oes , 9 t h ; J amaica, 9th ; Grenada, 1 ; Havannah, 13th ; St. Thomas, 15th ; and Bermuda, 21st. Her Majesty's ships left at Vera Cruz.—Endymion, Alarm, Electra and Daring. Her Majesty's sloop Rose sailed from Vera Cruz on the 14th of September, and Havannah on the 4th of October, for Spithead, with about 150,000 dollars on board. American blockading squadron off Vera Cruz.—The Cumberland, 54 guns, Commodore Conner; Raritan, 54; St. Mary's, 22 ; S omers , 12 ; two small steamers, and four schooners. Off Tampico—The Porpoise, 12-gun brig. The Company's steam-ship Clyde, Captain Symons, left Grenada, for Trinidad ; and the Treat, Captain Rivett, for Jamaica, on th e 1 0t h of Octobei ; the Rein deer was at St. Thomas's on the 15th of October ; the Tay, Captain Boxer, sailed from Havannah, for Vera Cruz, on the 10th of October ; the Forth, Captain Chapman, was left at Bermuda on the 21st of October ; and the Tweed, Captain Parsons, was a t J ama i ca on the 9th cf October. The Thames passed the Bremen, Nov.rig, No. 115, o n th e 13th of October, off Matanzas. N 2, in lat. 47 31 N., long. 15 37 W., passed the brig Britannia, of Pictou, waterlogged and abandoned. Amon — ist the passengers by the Thames is the ex- President of Mexico, General Paredes. lie embarked at Vera Crux, and was brought thither under a strong escort from Mexico. The General appears in excellent spirits, and seems to bear his sentence of banishment from his ill-starred country with great composure. He is rather diminutive, and about 50 years of age. Not a single dollar has been brought from Tampico or Vera Cruz on account of the dividends. This, as a matter of course, will excite no surprise, taking into con sideration the present aspect of affairs. BIEXICO. The advices from Vera Cruz are down to the 23 of October. The news of General Taylor's attack on Mon terey had not, up to that time, reached thither. THE WEST INDIES. The news from the West India Islands is of no great moment. The crops are looking extremely favourable, and promise abundantly. In Jamaica, heavy rains had fallen; much more, in fact, than had been experienced for many years. Several gales had been experienced, but no great damage had arisen. AWFUL HURRICANE AT HAVANNAH.-ONE HUNDRED SHIPS WRECKED. On Sunday, the 11th of October, llavannah was visited by the most violent hurricane ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant. The damage to the shipping lying in that beautifully land-locked harbour proved most disastrous, scarcely a ♦essel escaped, many sunk, and out of , at least 120 sail the Habanero, Spanish brig of-war, the Royal Mail steamship Thames, the English brig William Rushton, and two or three others at the termination of the gale were the only vessels riding in safety. The shears at the navy yard were blown down, the wharves torn up and much injured, and covered:with wrecked property. '1 he city suffered comparatively little, but the suburbs, especially the Cerro, Horcon, Colon, and San Sazaro very severely. In Regla the damage done was frightful—from the ruins of ono house were dug eleven corpses. The total number of lives lost could not be known, but many must have been drowned. The theatre Tacon was much injured; the opera-house in ruins. At the height of the gale the barometer was down to 27.70; in the hurricane of 1844 it was 28.42. REFUSING TO COMPLETE A VOYAGE. -At the Yarmouth Police Court on Monday, Mr. E. 11. L. Preston, as part owner and agent for the ship En chantress, laid an information against four of the crew, named Robert Masters, Robert Thacker, William Mackenzie, and William Letch, for refusing to go on the voyage from this port to Constantinople, laden with a cargo of coals. The Superintendent of Po lice said that he went off with Mr. Preston in a boat to the vessel on Sunday last. Mr. Preston asked them to go the voyage, and they positively refused. Mr. Pres ton then offered to put an additional band on board, and the answer Masters made was, " We asked the captain to put more hands on board when we first left Newcastle, and he would not, and now we wont go if you put twenty men on board." The men had no defence to make, except that they had not sufficient hands on board. The practice of the dis satisfied part of a crew assuming to dictate what num ber of hands the captain shall engage, is increasing. The magistrates inflicted the heaviest punishment, viz., thirty days' imprisonment, with hard labour,—Norfolk Chronicle. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 4.—The Peninsular and Ori ental Company's steam ship Madrid, Captain Bingham, arrived this evening at half-past nine o'clock, from the Peninsula, bringing the usual mails. The Magid has on board a few packages of specie, and a small cargo of fruit.

THE ROYAL STAG HOUNDS.—The extreme fine ness of the morning, and other attractions which are the usual attendants of the first day's public meet of her Majesty's stag-hounds, caused by a large assemblage of the neighbouring gentry and their families on Tues day morning at Salt-hill, the place appointed far the opening gathering of the season. Lord Granville, the Master of the Buck Hounds, arrived at the Royal Hotel, Slough, by an early train from Paddington, ac companied by Lord Anson, and was present at the meet punctually at eleven o'clock. There were also presort the Marquis of Worcester, Lord William Beresford, Captain Bolton, Captain Seymour, Colonel Chesterton, Captain St. Leger, Captain Hotham, and several military officers from Windsor, Hounslow, and Hampton; Messrs. S. Goldney, Cox, J. Mitton, G. B. Whittaker, W. Humphreys, Tilbury, Harvey, E. Dyson, J. Willis, C. Ridout, Chater, Bragg, and a field of between 200 and 300, including also a great number of the yeomen of the neighbourhood, admirably mounted. The deer (Wood man) which was selected for the day's sport, upon being uncarted in Farnham-lane, faced up the hill, making way in very pretty style in the direction of Farnham Church. Here, however, it was headed by the foot people, who were out in all directions, nearly to Salt hill, keeping on the right-hand side of the Great Western Railway. The stag then bore up towards Farnham, through a portion of the village on to Mitcham and Taplow, down to the river, crossing the Thames above Maidenhead-bridge, between the bridge and Bol ter's-lock, landing on the Berkshire side. The hunts men and hounds went nun'', over the bridge, and upon the pack being again laid on in the meadow, by the river, he deer made away in beautiful style over the fields into Sir Win. Payne's plantation, between Maidenhead and Marlow, circling round again towards Maidenhead, on to North Town-road, where it a•as taken at the malt-house of Messrs. Langton, after a run of a little more than an hour. The pace was rather slow, and the scent far from eood. The Earl of Granville, Lord Anson, and between 150 and 200 were up at the finish. Lord Granville, after proceeding from Maidenhead to the Royal Hotel at Slough to luncheon, left in the afternoon for Fern-hill. His Lordship's stud consists of upwards of twenty first rate hunters, many of which have been purchased since his appointment to the Mastership of the royal pack, at an unusually high figure. The whole of the appoint ments connected with his Lordship's hunting stud are of the highest character. The spirit manifested by the new Master in every department connected with the royal hunt, and the determination his Lordship has expressed to afford the best possible sport, lead to the opinion that this season will be one of the most celebrated for many years past. C2ESAR BORGIA.—The popular author of " White friars," in his new historical romance " Caesar Borgia," possesses the recommendation of entering upon a subject gm h r i e c en h att t oe h fa e pt g hi e tea n it e e ral reader is unfamiliar.

CRANIAROOK.—CAUTION TO AUCTIONEERS SIMI, ING IN PUBLIC MARKETS.-011 Wednesday last, Ed ward Harris, of Cross-street, Curtain-road, London, was brought before the Rev. Francis Burrows, charged with offering for sale, by private contract, several tarpaulin waggon covers, consigned to him for sale by - public auction, in the above-named market, he being in posses sion of a hawker's license, by which he had incurred a penalty of 10/. In support of the information evidence was given, that on Friday, the 23d of last month, the de: fondant was employed to sell by auction, at Tunbridge Wells Market, some waggon covers and a few sacks, as an agent for Mr. John Harriss, of Bishopsgate-street, London. The defendant did offer his covers, but sold in quantities a few sacks by private contract, contrary to law, not being the manufacturer ; lie had the remaining goods removed by a van to the town of Cranbrook, at which placa he offered to three different persons, his waggon covers for sale, by private contract, at a cheap price. lie, defendant, admitted making the sales, but urged in mitigation of the penalty, his ignorance of the law, he 9147 being a new beginner as an auctioneer.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of busi ness, and for the purpose of electing officers. Mr. WILLIAMS (of Farringdon-without Ward) asked what had become of the reference of the Court relative to Field-lane? He apprehended that there was an in tention to " Burke " the suggested improvement. His wish was to have the improvement of that miserable place included in the new Bill, which was about to be brought in with respect to Holborn-bridge. The Loan MAYOR said he understood the Improve ment Committee were engaged in doing all they could to meet the views of the Court upon the subject. THE LATE SIR ROBERT SALF.. The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received the following letter from the son of the late Sir Robert Sale : " Simla, Aug. 31, 1846. "My Lord,—lt was with feelings of the utmost pride and satisfaction that my lamented father looked forward to the arrival of the vase, with the freedom of the City of London. That satisfaction was denied to him by the eventful battle of Moodkee. The vase has arrived at Simla, and my mother has made it over to me, to be considered as an heir-loom, and to descend in our family, as a proud testimonial of the esteem in which Sir Robert Sale was held by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London. — . I have the hono ur to remain your Lordship's most obedient and thankful servant, " R H. SALE, " 9th Regiment B. N. 1., and Second in Command Cady Gawlior contingent." .....s Lordship also laid before the Court a letter from Major General Thackwell, late commanding th e cava l ry of the army of the Sutlej, acknowledging the receipt of the freedom of the City, voted to him by the Corpo ration. Both letters were ordered to be entered upon th e journals. GRAND JURIES. Mr. ANDERTON gye notice of a motion for inquiry into the utility of Grand Juries, with the view to ascer tain whether they cannot with advantage be dispensed with. THE LORD MAYOR'S FAREWELL TO THE COURT. The LORD MAYon. said, that as the last Court of the Mayoralty bad arrived, he took the opportunity to bid them farewell. He could not help saying that, he felt deeply obliged by the distinguished kindness with which he had been uniformly treated by them, and that he felt the highest degree of satisfaction in performing the duties of his office amongst them, and he hoped they ah h ni a wsd had no Lordship nr you c nuh c ei a sa s sl i .l o i n kap rr to pi fi ne n s d s. f — au ( l c t with him.—(Loud cheers.)

The Epoque newspaper, which was started in Paris about a year since, on the joint stock and half price principle, after spending the whole of its capital in twelve short months, and havin g a tt a i ne d a c i rculat i on of 12,000, was sold on Saturday last as bankrupt property. The nomi nal purchaser is M. Prosper Deville, the gerant of Le Droit, an offshoot of the Presse ; but the real proprietor is believed to be M. Emile Girardin, the proprietor of the Presse. The purchase price was 8,100/. sterling. The sale of this paper gives us a curious exemplification of the state of the law of libel in France. Within the last two years the editor of a Paris journal was fined, and, if we remember well, imprisoned for a rather too severe theatrical criticism. Yet, for the last month, the columns of the Presse have been daily - filled with calcu lations and argunaents, to show that the Epoque was not only not worth a farthing, but that it would bring certain ruin on any one bold enough to purchase it. This new way of excluding competition, it now appears, was de vised and practised with impunity, 'because the pro prietor of the Presse himself wished to be the purchaser. THE STH AND 9TII OP N ovEmnEß.--Yasterday the Lord Mayor issued' ecnotlee to the inhabitants of the Ci t y, announcing that the police were fully instructed t o stop " the firing, Jetting off, or igniting" of any nibs, crackers, or rookats, on Thprsday, the sth of ( t hi s Liv), being Guy Faux dty, within the the 'City; and that any intriagembnt of at order wguld pvished with the utmost rigour of A notice *O4P nature was appended re -1:111Eit i c:4 : a n' n br: Pe ,t r ; o nsu.inf -1911411SXarY'? // • CAPE O W F GOOD ?`- e have rec e i ve d Cape Tow j, 7,,; letters to the 3d of Septembe n r. 1411."

(From the South Afriectn Commercial iltivez ti,ker, Sept. 2.) No military operatiohs of any moment have taken effect in Kafirland since these already before the public. The Governor continued in the camp on the Liitlalo. Sir Andreas Stockenstrum and Colonel Johnstone weic understood to he moving on the upper Kei, with the hope of overtaking the fugitive chiefs and the main body of their cattle. Colonel Somerset, with most of the cavalry, was in the vicinity of Waterloo Bay, refreshing the horses, which had become absclutely unfit for action from mere exhaustion and hunger. At-Waterloo Bay as lunch, it is reported, as 1,200 tons of provisions and supplies have been suceessfully lauded. Much inc , n vemence i., of course, experienced at that newlpcii,- covered landing-place in a homeless country, the goods beimg exposed to wind and weather :did neglect, and may be to some pllO ring on the nide. d beach. There is also here, as at all other points en the frontier, a fearful want of the means of transport. Activity on the part of Government and of private viduals, and it is to be hoped a favourable change of weather, will speedily remove the heaviest' of these evils, as there can be no doubt that, for months to come, Wa terloo Bay will be the principal station in that part of the world,—the troops and frontier inhabitants depend ing upon it almost for their entire subsistence. Nor will money employed in erecting substantial buildings be exposed to any risk of eventual loss, as the district of which it is the natural port must at all events remain annexed to the colony. Some fears have been expressed for the safety of the goods from the want, it is alleged, of a sufficient guard; but as there is now so great a force in the immediate neighbourhood, and as not only the property of individuals, but the existence of the army, clearly depend on the security of the stores, this must have been duly attended to already. Along the whole of the frontier the drought threatens to prove more destructive to the inhabitants than the enemy has been. For hundreds of miles not a blade of grass or a green thing is to be seen. A private letter from Graham's Town states that " 30/. to 40/. would readily be paid for a waggon to Fort Beaufort, whore the distress is truly great." They write to us (Board of Relief) " that the goods we sent to Port Beaufort for the Kat river cannot possibly be forwarded." For the present the distributing machinery of the country is arrested, and thousands of people Ingle in terior, about Rat river and Somerset, are on the verge or actually in the gulf of famine, while vast quantities of flour, rice, and other articles of first necessity are heaped up at Port Elizabeth and other points on the coast. Even if forage could be found for the draught cattle, there is no water; so that immediate relief seems almost hopeless: yet there must be relief soon, or there will be a frightful mortality. One piece of news is of a favourable character. The Chief stock has " come in," or surrendered himself, with some forty of his people. This unfortunate matrhas professed from the beginning his abhorrence of the war, and from his conduct in the early part of the outbreak it is probable that he has been throughout perfectly sincere, (From the Frontier Times.) Rautenbag's Drift, Aug. 24, The Kafirs who had a fight with the thirty men on Friday, the 21st inst., on the farm of Mr. Lovetnoro, on Quagga's Flat., and where two Hottentots were wounded, were forelayed by the active and brave Field Cornet Casper Buchner, from the day of the fight until Sunday, 23d instant, in the 13ushinan's River Poort. On Sunday, the 23d, et about nine o'clock, they murdered a Fingo or Corms. Kafir, in the service of the Fouria family, and a Hottentot herd is still missing : both were well armed with mus kets. The Kafirs took 220 head of cattle. Two of the herds fortunately managed to escape, and brought the intelligence to Field Cornet Buchner, who started in less than one hour with 12 mounted Burghers, who still had horses that could walk, and 20 men on foot, and followed the enemy into the Zuurberg. When he arrived on the height of Luiskop, the Kafirs were in Sight, driving their booty before them. Buchner left the fuottnen to come on, and made a detour with the horse so as to get in front of the enemy, in which he succeeded. Th e Kafirs had gained such confidence 9 by th e i r recent suc cess, that they charged Buchner 's small party, consisting then of but eight men, to within ten yards—but they found to their cost that they had not to do with run sways. The enemy was at least 100 strong, notwith standing which they were completeloy beaten, and the whole of the cattle recaptured by these 8 brave Dutchmen. It is impossible to say how many were killed, eight were seen to fall mortally wounded or dead, and the blood was seen trickling down the backs of a great number. Not a man was touched on the side of the Burghers. * * * * All we want is forage for our horses. The oxen and mare which the Kafirs had with them in the bush at Quaggasylakte, and which the thirty men were unable to capture, also fell into our hands. When the war is over the Governor will see where work has been done. * * * * Mr. W. Adcock and the Field Cornet Moolman were with the party. In a private letter dated " Camp, Fort Beresfond, Buffalo Mountains, August 10," a most interesting ac count is given of a convoy of supplies across a most ekn gerous part of the country, to Fort Peddle, under Lieu tenant Bevil, of the Cape Town 'Volunteers. He was attacked by the enemy in great nuni'ders, and with much determination, during the night, b ut b y correct. arrangements an d firmness he saved the whole of his charge, with the loss of only one man, wounded in the wrist. Three of Captain:Salmond's men, Cape Town Volun teers, were unfortunately drowned in Waterloo Bay, when coming on shore from one of the vesels there. The name& have not yet been received. TABLE BAY. (From the South African Commercial ,Advertiser.) As the grand work of constructing a breakwater in Table Bay is now approaching an, actu a l commence ment, the publi c may f ee l some interest in the minutes of evidence taken on this subject by the first commis. sion in 1836, on which their report was founded, and which again formed the ground-work of the report of the second commission of 1845. From the evidence of merchants, masters of vessels, and others engaged in the commerce of which this bay is the centre, it will be seen, that it was not on the light or trivial grounds that so vast an undertaking was recommended to Government. Subsequently to the report of this commission a great improvement was effected in the bay by the erection of dwarf jetties as they are called, at which ds ate n ow chiefly landed or ship pe d . But the gr aJ evils—the distance at which the shipping must ride, the dangers to which they arc exposed, and the detention and delay arising from these circumstances, with the oecasioival loss of life and property to a large amount—remained to injure the character of the Cape as a resort for ships of all classes. For an effectual cure for all these evils, the great work now about to be commenced was re quired, and it will soon take away the reproach of the Cape. The crops at this end of the colony, and also in many parts of the eastern provinces, whin have escaped the drought, are remarkably tine in r-ppearance, and beyond all precedent extensive this rear. If the wetetiher con tinues favour a bl e t h ere will be one of the most abundant harvests ever known at the Cape. —Cage Town paper. Mauritius papers have been received to the 13th of August. A deputation of merchants and planters pro posed to the Governor a plan to introduce 12,000 Indians this year, the expense to be paid by a stamp-tax of 15s. on the contract of engagement for each of them. His Ex cellency promised them a reply in writing, as words were often misunderstood or misrepresented. They are greatly in want of draught oxen since the cessation of irtercourse with Madagascar. Colonial bullocks fetch 201, French mules 50/. EXTRAORDINARY Imrosron.—JOhn Ross, a pre tended deaf and dumb man, was brought the other day before the Sheriff Criminal Court, Caper, clutrged with falsehood, fraud, and wilful imp;isition, committed by using, as a true and genuine document, a false and fa bricated printed circular. The indictment further charged him with havi:og formed the felortious and wicked design of imposing on and defrauding the lieges, by falsely and fraudulently pretending that he was deaf and dumb ; that he was left destitute at the death of his parents ; and that he was collecting money in aid of his education and clothing in the Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb in Henderson-row, Edinburgh, and was authorised by the committee to collect money for that purpose. The prisoner was net long at the bar ere he began to shake his fist at the fis cals, and, converting his fingers into a quizzing-glass, he made light of everything and everybody about him. The evidence of a number of witnesses went to show that the* prisoner could swear, drink, and rpeak a great deal toq much sometimes ; and Sheriff Monteith, in winding up the trial, said—" John Ross, tbe jury, after hearing your case, and hearing yourself— (A la ti a g li) il'a found you guilty.
