MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm again. Sales, 9,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American on speculation. The rise has been *d. per lb. in American and Surat since last Friday, and the range of prices for the former yesterday was from 4d. to sp., and for the latter 3id. to &id. per lb. In Shares there was not a great deal doing. The arrival of the steamer from Halifax is now hourly expected, though the usual punctuality with such wea ther as has recently been experienced cannot reasonably be expected. We adverted yesterday to the important question of the supply of food for the straitened population of the United Kingdom, and we have had occasion likewise to express our belief that undoubtedly, important as it is to secure early 'and ample supplies, there has been every effort used to enhance prices beyond their proper limit. The following insight into the affairs on the other side of the Atlantic will serve to corroborate our views. The party writes :—" It therefore, sp• pears, that the surplus agricultural products of the United States, will be required to feed the popula tion of almost every part of Europe, and we have no doubt but that every barrel of flour and bushel of grain we can spare, will he required to meet the demand from abroad for actual consumption. This demand will, of course have a very great and very favourable influence uron prices, and we have no doubt they will advance to a higher point than has been realised for a long time. It is very probable that there will from time to time be a reaction in the advance, and speculators will, without doubt, suffer serious losses; but the result of a very extensive exe real demani for our bread stuffs, must be a very great improvement in prices. There are bulls and bears in the corn markets, as well as in the stock markets, and while one party is striving to put up prices, the other is making efforts to put them down. Flour is sold short, as well as fancy stocks, and n t one half of the sales reported from day to day, are bon et fide —not one barrel in a hundred reported as sold changes hands, and there is, therefore, apparently more activity in the market than what really exists. .\ On all hands we hear of satisfaction being expressed at the very unequivocal terms in which the Committee of Spanish American bondholders have expressed their entire concurrence in the conversion as effected by Mr. Murphy, and of his undeniable authority to carry out the same according to the plan adopted, which, in no respect, imposes any additional burden upon the Mexican Govern ment—nay, not even to the extent of a farthing. With such unscrupulous men, however, at the head of the affairs of ' the republic, as Santa Anna and his colleagues, have shown themsell es to be, this " little" matter of finance, and the mortification they exhibit at the loss of the " nice pickings" they expect for themselves whenever a conversion takes place, we cannot expect the value of the Bonds to be advanced, or even supported. They have to-day been marked 22 to *. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 258, and the Three per Cents have receded from 37* to 368. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 39. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. are 59* to t. There have been one or two heavy sales effected in the English Stock market, and the consequence is rather a decided, though perhaps merely temporary, reaction in prices. Cousols have been done at 941 for present Transfer, and at 94i for Time, having opened at 948 for the former, and 948 to 95 for the latter. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been also reduced as low as 9s. to 12s. Bank Stock is not higher than 204 k to 2054. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 951 to .11. Shares have been generally good again, and the in creased business done in Edinburgh, has reacted fa vourably here, especially the Caledonian, Aberdeen, and North British. Dudley and Birmingham are , favourites this morning, in conjunction with the Birmingham and Oxford, owing to the reported amalgamation between the two. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

We stated in our last report from the Heath that the early commencement of the races, rendered indispens able by the number of events to come off, had inter fered with the settling, and, wo might have added, made Mr. Tattersall's sale a mere ceremony ; no one had time to attend it, and, in consequence, several lots of well bred greyhounds were withdrawn. To prevent a similar inconvenience on Wednesday, on which day it was ex pected there would be at least a dozen races, it was de creed by the Committee of the Subscription-room that the settling for the day's races should take place to night. There were a few " Discontents" to this ar rangement, but by the majority it was approved and acted upon.

The difficulty under which the jockies laboured on the first and second days was obviated to-day by bush-harrowing the course on the flat, and strewing tan parallel with it trom the Ditch to the Red Stand ; this enabled them to keep the track, and prevented any fear of their going out of the course.

Sia,—As in acc.)rdance with the usa ge o f nam i ng the planetary bodies after the deities of ancient mythology, the orb first descried by Herschel, in 1781, h as rece i ve d the appellation of Uranus,. so it is certain that astrono mers will apply some classic term 'to the recent wonder ful discovery of Le Verner. Uranus, the father of Saturn, was the offspring of Chaos and Nox, but the name of neither of these can be fitly given to an orga nised member of the universe. I venture, therefore,*to suggest, that our lately found comrade be called Hype rion, from the circumstance of his des cr ibi ng the outer orbit of the solar system. This word, it i s true, has been used by poets as an epithet of the Sun, in the sense of " high careering," but has not been so strictly appro priated to our great luminary a s to forbid its adoption in what I conceive to be a legitimate and singularly ap propriate application.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. After a short recess, this theatre opened last evening with an operatic company. Among the artistes en gaged are Madame Albertazzi, Miss Georgiana Smithson, Miss Sara Flower, Mr. Allen, Mr. Barker, Mr. Delavanti, an American vocalist, Mr. Bodda, and Mr. Leffler. Mademoiselle Nau is also engaged for a limited number of nights. During the recess the theatre has been completely renovated and re-deco rated. The opening piece was a new opera (the words by Soane, the music by Loder), entitled the Night Dancers, founded on the story of the popular ballet of Giselle, which story has, however, been modi fied, to suit operatic purposes. The opera is divided into an induction and two acts. The scene in the induction is laid in the interior of the cottage of Godfrey (Mr. Walton) an old miller in Silesia. His niece Mary (Miss G. Smithson), is busied in preparations for the marriage of Gizelle, her cousin (Madame Albertazzi),- who is to wed Albert (Mr. Allen). Mary sings one of the wild legends of her country, to beguile the time. Giselle enters, in her wedding dress, and is chid by her father, old Godfrey, for her vanity. He is, however, soon appeased, and sings a merry song. Giselle, who is passionately fond of the dance, waltzes to distant music. The sounds approach. Godfrey and Mary retire, and the voice of Albert is • heard serenading her from the lake. Coquettishly, she refuses to show herself. The serenaders retire. She commences singing and waltzing to the symphony of the air, and at length falls asleep. This ends the induction. The first act opens with a chorus of vintagers, assembled outside G3dfrey's cottage. The beadle of the parish, a certain Fridolin, a sort of ope ratic Marmaduke Magog, capitally acted by Mr. Leffler, enters. Fridolin is desperately in love with Mary, but his curiosity is quite as intense as his love, and he is accordingly constantly peeping through the keyhole of Albert's cottage, in order to discover whether Albert is not a nobleman in disguise Mary remonstrates with him—he justifies himself —and at last Albert enters. The greater part of this scene is conducted in concerted music, and Mr. Loder shows in it that he possesses in a very high degree the faculty of composing, what, for want of a better term, we must denominate conversational music. Albert sings the beautiful serenade, " Wake, my love, all life is stirring," which was deliciously given by Allen, and Giselle enters. Her grand scena d'entree, "I dreamt we stood before the altar," is a most elaborate composition, with full orchestral accompaniments. It was evident that Loder, in composing this scena, felt that he was composing it for a perfectly educated and thoroughly scientific musician, and most assuredly it received full justice from Madame Albertazzi. It was most rapturously applauded, and from this moment the success of the opera appeared certain. This is followed by a beautiful little bit of simple melody, "I cannot flatter if I would," which was given with exquisite taste by Allen, and rewarded by an enthusiastic encore. This is followed by a bacchanalian song by Mary, a curiosity in its way, inasmuch as it is not often that a drinking song is given to the soprano. It was not only well sung, but well acted too by Miss Smithson, who seemed a very Hebe as she poured forth the ruddy juice of the grape. The Duke of Silesia (Mr. Bodda) and Bertha (Miss Sara Flower) enter and join the villagers, and nearly the whole of the rest of the act consists of concerted music. Mr. Bodda, who on this occasion made his first appearance at this theatre, possesses a fine bass voice, with greater flexibility than voices of that charac ter in general possess. He is, moreover, a clever musician, and by no means deficient in histrionic powers. He will prove a great acquisi tion to the Princess's company. The gem of this scene is the air by. Bertha, " Our way bath been both rough and long," In which the fine deep rich contralto tones of Miss Sara Flower told with marvellous afect. There is no other lady at present on the stage who could have approached her. This is followed by a magnificent quintette, admirably sung by Allen, Miss Smithson, Bodda, Leffler, and Miss Sara Flower, and which is perhaps the composition par excellence of the opera in which the scientific musician will most de light. This is followed by a huntsman's chorus, which possesses no very particular merit ; and then comes a fine bass song "Believe me, honest friends," which was very well given by Mr. Bodda. This is followed by the recitative "I breathe again," and the air " What pleasure can we find in slaying," which were beautifully given by Madame Albertazzi. The accompaniment to the recitative is very fine, and the air which follows is a delicious little bit of melody. It was enthusiastically encored. Then comes the flower duet, "He loves me, he loves me not," well sung—and well acted too—by Allen and Madame Albertazzi, which we like none the worse from its reminding us forcibly of the scene with Mar garet in the garden, of Faust. In this scene is in troduced a dance of villagers, in which Mr. and Miss Marshall danced a new and elegant pas de deux, and then Fridolin, the prying beadle, inter rupts the festivities, by announcing that he has discovered that Albert is a noble in disguise. Albert is recognised by the Duke as his nephew, and the affianced of Bertha. Poor Giselle falls senseless. It is in vain that Bertha relinquishes all claim to him, and, drawing the ring from her own finger, places it on that of Giselle, exclaiming in those rich deep impassioned tones, which no female voice save that of Miss Sarah Flower possesses, "Be blest, be Albert's wedded wife." Poor Giselle dies, and the act concludes with a fine preghiera, " Holy water o'er thee sprinkling," sung over her corse. The scene of the next act is the Lotus Lake, the abode of Wilis, and we see the tomb of Giselle. Bertha enters and strews flowers on the tomb. She is joined by Albert, and here we have the gem of the opera, the duet " Peace to the dead," one of the most beautifully expressive compositions we have ever heard, and which was given with exquisite pa thos and feeling by Miss Sara Flower and Mr. Allen. The villagers enter, and then comes some fine concerted music; after which, Albert, who is left alone by the grave of Giselle, sings the beauti fully plaintive air, " Wake from thy grave, Giselle." This is followed by the chorus of Wilis, who rise from their graves, and are joined by Giselle, who is transformed into a Wili. Then comes the air by Giselle, " What new delight ful being's this ?" which was beautifully rendered by Madame Albertazzi ; and then we have the ballet of the Wills. This ballet is interrupted by the entry of Fridolin, who is beset by the Wilis, and danced by them into the lake, according to the received legend. The Wills sing a joyous chorus at having " netted their prey ; ' but disappear as Albert comes forward. Albert invokes the shade of Giselle, who, singing beneath the earth, warns him of his im pending fate ; but, in obedience to his invocation, she rises from earth from a bed of roses—and here an -accident, which was nearly being attended with the most fatal consequences occurred. Madame Albertazzi, attired as a Wili with gauze -wings and flowing gauze robes, appeared from behind the roses ; to give effect to the scene a lamp had been placed so as to throw a full light upon her as she rose ; a sudden draught of air floated her robe over :the lamp, and in an instant she was in flames. She -ran towards the wing for safety, and as she progressed the flames rose above her head. With admirable pre sence of mind Allen, who was in front of the stage, rushed towards the wing across her path, so as to im pede her further progress, caught her in his arms, and by embracing her partially smothered the flames. The actors and scene-shifters, who were at the wings, rushed to his assistance, surrounded her, and at once e-xtinguished the fire. The whole affair did not oc cupy half a minute, but it was a half minute of terror. There was no shrieking, but there was a thrilling buz of horror, an audible shudder, -throughout the house, which was followed by repeated rounds of the most enthusiastic ap plause when Allen - led her forward unhurt. After pausing a few seconds to recover herself, she proceeded with her part, and gave the duet with . Allen, " Thou hast called, ah woe's the hour," beau tifully. The remainder is soon told ; she saves -Al bert's life by protracting the dance until daybreak, : and then comes the denouement. Clouds envelope the scene, and we are again in the cottage of Godfrey. • The whole opera has been but a dream of Giselle, • who is united to Albert, and who finishes by s inging the finale, "On me crowd such vous fancies,' which, as is usual in such case , s, is a piece composed expressly to give to the donna an opportunity of showing off her powers of sution—an opportunity of which Madame Al 'oliprei:w well how to avail herself.

Before we had leisure to examine the arrangement of the different elementary principles comprised in the pages of this grammatical compilatioN, we were per suaded that its publication must be almo.st superfluous, and we were persuaded that it must be euperfluous from a recollection of the inimitable introduction to "a theoretical and practical knowledge of the Ger man language," written several years since by •S. Reisender. So fully were we convinced of the advsto tages of the system adopted by Herr Reisender, that we could scarcely conceive to-ourselves the necessity for anything more simple, more perspicuous, :or more symmetrical in the shape of a German grammar. We have carefully examined the volume just issued by Lebahn, and we confess 'that we were alto gether mistaken in our anticipations. Numerous and admirable as are the works of this description, which have from time to time come under our obser vation, we do not remember any one that has afforded us equal satisfaction with that given by the present. There is a novelty about its classification of a very striking character; the parts of speech are placed in the happiest order; and the arbitrary rule; illustrated with the most appropriate examples. Besides this, the volume has these additional attractions : it is fur nished with a vocabulary of 4,500 words, synonymous in German and English; it contains a translation of the opening chapters of "Rasselas" and "The Vicar of Wakefield," and the entire of Fouque's beautiful tale of " Undine." As a pioneer to the conquest of a glorious literature, we consider this volume to be without any competitor. THE PAST AND FUTURE OF THE BRITISH IVAVY. By the Hon. E. Plunkett. Any book with such a title-page cannot fail to arouse the interest, and to excite the curiosity of even the least patriotic among Englishmen. And when, on a perusal, it is found to contain so much that is candid, honest, sagacious, and startling, and that it proceeds from the pen of an observant Com mander in the Royal Navy, it will inevitably illicit commendation. Captain Plunkett is wholly precau tionary in the nature of his present production ; he conceives that there is an intense necessity for active and energetic improvements in the glorious service of which he is a member, and, solicitous alike for the safety of his country, the glory of the navy, and the maintenance of our naval supremacy, he has braved all the perils of authorship, and boldly launched his present work upon the dark and mysterious ocean ofcri ticism. However much individuals may differ from the writer, in his estimate of what is requisite in the way of the modification and advancement of the sea-ser vice, it will be impossible for any one to deny him the possession of the most patriotic sentiments, or to believe that he has been actuated by any other than the most generous motions. We all know perfectly well that the Prince de Joinville wrote many home truths in his pamphlet, as well as many erroneous notions, and many expressions that might be readily contorted into mere bombast and braggadocio. We all know, moreover, that the science of naval tactics has been marvellously changed by the adoption of steam-power in our armed vessels. Those alterations and those home-truths necessitate a corresponding activity in the service ; an activity ambitious of keep ing pace with the advancing spirit of the age, and of not being baffled by the encroachments of science Although we are confident, therefore, of the con tinued vigour of our navy, and of the valour and efficiency of our seamen, we must, nevertheless, ob serve that there are many suggestions contained in the present brochure deserving the serious Consideration of the Right Hon. the Lords of the Admiralty. FINE ARTS. THE CHRISTIAN IN PALESTINE. Part VII. This most attractive serial is continued with una bating excellence. We are doubtful whether we should more admire the learned and interesting letter press, penned by Dr. Stebbing, or the brilliant and picturesque illustrations copied from the original sketches by W. H. Bartlett. " Mount Thabor, look ing towards Gilboa and the Jordan," is a delicious composition. From the quaint and characteristic cluster of Arabs and goats in the foreground, the lat- I ter dipping their long beards in the pool ; from the cool umbrage of the half-distance, to the remote mountain and horizon bathed in sunlight, everything imparts an additional beauty to a scene which, from its mere undulations and its manifold associations, would have been strangely interesting. The other engravings are of almost equal purity. ROYAL GEMS FROM THE GALLERIES OF EUROPE. Part VIII. The contents of the present number are more in keeping with its sonorous and ambitious • title than any of its predecessors. Two of the masterpieces' of Murillo, and one from the brush of Claude Lorraine, have furnished prototypes for three magnificent en gravings. In only one of these do we observe any very glaring deficiency ; and that deficiency is the expression imparted to the countenance of the " Good. Shepherd." There i s a clumsiness in the features, and an earthliness in the whole character of the phy ioga oiny, which are altogether at variance with the delicate pencilling and seraphic expression of that childlike face which we have so frequently gazed upon with rapture in the National Gallery. The counte nances of the " Spanish Peasant Boys," from the ori ginal in the Dulwich Gallery, are, on the contrary, inimitable—the gleaming teeth of the vagrant urchin, and the sulky and crust-munching face of his com panion. " The Sylvan Calm" is a most exquisite— we may say a most masterly—engraving, by Samuel Bradshaw. As far as black and white can possibly convey any notion of the luminous embroidering of the sun, and the gelid gloom of the shadows of Claude Lorraine, this engraving does. This single plate is worth more than the price of the entire number. It would conjure up the glories of summertide and the loveliness of Andalusia during the November fog in the ultima thule of Whitechapel. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—The unfavourable state of the morning prevented her Majesty and Prince Albert taking their accustomed walk. TI - 4) Rc•'al Family were also prevented from taking heir usual exercise. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening is expected to include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, the Lady in Waiting of the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting of the Duchess of Gloucester, the Baroness de Speth, Viscount Palmerston, Lord and Lady Howard de Walden, Lady Emily Seymour, the Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay, and Sir George Couper. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards will attend during dinner. Her Majesty's private band will alter wards attend in the Castle. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. Lord John Russell gave a dinner to the Cabinet Mi• nisters yesterday evening at his residence in Chesham place. The Right Hon. H. Labouchere, Chief Secretary for Ireland, has arrived in town. The Right Hon. Gentle man was present last evening at the Cabinet dinner given by Lord John Russell. The Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord President of the Council, arrived in town yesterday, from his seat, Bowood Park, Wilts. The Noble Marquis after his arrival paid a visit to Lord John Russell. SUDDEN DEATH OF COUNTESS DOWAGER OF WlN TERTON.—Yesterday Mr. Mills held an inquest on the body of the above lady, at her residence, Lodge-villa, North-bank, St. John's-wood. Elizabeth Stairs, her Ladyship's waiting-maid, said that deceased had been an invalid for the last five or six months, complaining of pains in the back and chest. Her Ladyship consulted Dr. Elliotson about three months ago, who told her she laboured under affection of the heart, and prescribed for her up almost to the time of her death. Her Ladyship having taken her medicine retired to rest at 11 o'clock on Sunday night last, appearing in better health than for some time past. At a quarter to four next morning witness was aroused by her Ladyship ringing violently and calling for assistance. Witness went to hPr in stantly, and found her pacing her bedroom apparently in great agony, and exclaiming, "I am dying." Wit neis applying what aid she could, sent some of the other domestics for Mr. Watkings, who speedily arrived, but in the interval her Ladyship expired. Mr. Watkins, who had made a post mortem examination, said that the cause of death was ossification of the heart.—Verdict, "Natural death." UNITED SERVICE MEDICAL INSTITUTION.—Yester day afternoon a meeting of medical officers in the royal navy was held at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, to consider the propriety of forming an association of mem bers of the profession. Mr. Drummond took the chair, and said that the object of the society they were about to form was the advancement of medical science, the in vestigation of the modifications of endemic and epidemic diseases in different climates, and the maintenance of the honour of the profession generally. On the motion of Dr. Evans, deputy medical inspector, seconded by Mr. M‘Ternan, it was resolved that the society should be established, and that a proposal should be made to the council of the United Service Institution to form a union with that body. Dr. Lindsay then moved that medical officers in the sister services—the army and the East India service—should be eligible for admission, and that the association should be called the United Service Me dical Institution. This resolution was also carried unani mously, and a committee was appointed to confer with the United Service Institution on the subject. A riot, arising out of the high price of corn, took place last week at Hennebon, near Lorient. The po pulace attempted to prevent the departure of two vessels laden with corn, and would probably have plundered , them, but for the arriva l of some troops. Several of the rioters were arrested. ST. PETERSIIMIGH, OCT. 16.—Iti the night of the loth of this Month his Majesty the Eniperor, accompa nied by the Grand Duke Alexander, set out from Zar skijeselo for Moscow, where they both arrived in good h ea lth on the 11th. • S u N , ca-)R it ___ A: /by ni -90 - -- --- ; 1 i 9 :; ;47 1"; 4? 3 ° 1 , - 1 -, c'e• 'P.TA"-)1. ) ~...._,,,, ---F-1 •:_, ,--f-----77 . 1 ,- „ . _ WOOLWICH, OCT. 28 .—CaptainTylde taut Quartermaster-General to the T r YIFA II ! r amp. visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterd a y a f ternoon o ffi c i- . ally to witness and report on the efficiency of the ar rangements for an amply supply of water, and the mode of using it, in case of fire. The police, under Inspector Havard, on the shortest notice attached the leathern hoses to the mains, and discharged large volumes of water from one two and four hoses, carrying the water to a height of 110 feet and upwards without the aid of engine', the pressure on the surface of the water in the reservoir on Woolwich common, near Shooter's-hill, which always contains an abundant supply, being suffi cient for that purpose. The time occupied on a former occasion in taking out the hose from the place where it is deposited, on a pretended alarm being made, attach i,g it to the main, and throwing a large volume of water ovek - the roof of the slip under which the Royal Albert, 120 gvn ship, is building, only occupied six minutes, and the exeycises yesterday afforded - the greatest satisfaction to Captain Tylden, owing to the celerity with which they were olTecuted, and the efficient manner in which everything connected with the waterworks is kept ready for use in case Of an alarm of fire. NAVAL IN TELLIG The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Hawker, had her ;:cam up yesterday in the basin, to test the power of her (4-Tines. The stern of the vessel was attached by strong ropes to the testing machine, constructed at the west side , of the basin, on a principle submitted by Professor Daniel Colladon, and capable of ascertaining the exact capabilities of any description of engines fitted to steam-vessels 0 the extent of 1,000 horse power. The result is aseeylained by dials with moveable hands, similar to those of Neighing machines. The engines of the Grappler are two of 110-horse power each, constructed by Maudslay, Field, and Sons. The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Sm:thett, was kept in dock yesterday to have her decks over the boilers and in the vicinity of the funnels payed with marine glue. It was at first doubtful whether that sub stance would answer where pitch had been previouhly applied, but repeated trials have shown that although the pitch is only partially taken out, or driven further in, by the caulkers, the marine glue thoroughly amalga mates with the remaining part, and renders the decks perfectly water-tight, and gives additional strength to them. The engineers of the Garland have availed them selves of the opportunity of her being in deck to effect an improvement in her slides and in other parts of the vessel, and her commander anticipates that her speed will be greater than formerly. Being constructed of wood, her steering qualities and the correctness of her com passes are all that her commander can wish for. The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain Cragg, has had her steam up and her engines at work to-day, but the denseness of the fog prevented her going down the river on trial. She is fitted with engines of 500-horse power, by Penn, and the largest ever made on the oscillating principle. The engines are of beautful workmanship. Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, having left to-day for Liverpool, on official duty, Mr, Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth Dockyard, has arrived to superintend and report on the trials of the engines of the Sphynx and Amphion steam-frigates and the Geyser and ...:rappler steam-vessels, as they are re quired with the least possible delay for service. An experiment of an interesting and valuable nature was tried with a boat fitted on a plan submitted by Mr. Holdsworth, Governor of Dartmouth, and for many years a Member of Parliament. The object of Mr. Holdsworth is to render any boat attached to ships of war, or other vessels, incapable of sinking in the most tempestuous sea, if the load is not greater than the cal culation of displacement of air, the means adopted for supporting the boat and persons who may be in danger by shipwreck, or from any other cause. The boat ex perimented with on this occasion was one built at Wool wich Dockyardf on a plan of Lord John Hay, C. 8., a present Lord of the Admiralty, and .given to Captain Henderson, C. 8., Commander of the Sidon steam-frigate, on his Lordship's ceasing to be Captain-Superinten dent pro tem. of Woolwich Dockyard. The boat mea sures 32 feet in length by 5 feet broad in the centre, and weighs 2 cwt. On the inside all round under the cross beams were fixed simply with cord, which could be effected in ten minutes, ten hermetically sealed tubes formed of vulcanised India rubber, each six feet long and five inches in diameter, calculated to support 500 cwt. without sinking, although the boat was filled with water. The boat was taken from the boat-house to the basin at the west-end of the dockyard at 3 o'clock P.M., and the experiments were made in the presence of Cap tain Henderson, Captain Cragg, Captain Hunt, Colonel Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of th e R oya l Mili tary Academy; Lieutenant Gardiner, Lieutenant Ly saght, Mr. Holdsworth, Mr. Brockenden, Mr. Elson, Master Attendant, and Mr. Reid, Assistant to the Master Shipwrights. On the boat being dropped in the water a plug was withdrawn from her bottom, and she was al lowed to fill with water. Three persons then stood over the ankles in water on her cross-beams, but they could not bring her down. 500 weight of iron was then lowered into her, which she supported with the greatest ease, and the three persons in addition stood on the edge of the side, sinking it about six inches under water, with out the boat showing any inclination to sink, but righting , herself with the greatest ease. The Formidable, 84, at Sheerness, it is said, will be commissioned by Captain Ramsay, of the Terrible, steam-frigate, on her arrival at Woolwich ; the captain and crew of that steam-frigate being turned over to the Formidable. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, is progress ing rapidly in her fittings at Portgmouth, Considering the small number of hands she has on her. Her top masts are fidded. The continuous puffs on her officers are too barefaced not to be traced. The men are, as we have said before, working very well, but not better than the crews of other ships fitting have worked. It must be borne in mind that this Vengeance was one of the advanced ships. To show that Captain Lushington de serves no credit for the smartness with which the ship is fitting, the fact h not omitted that he is unwell. Too much of this will defeat its own object, and the second and third lieutenants will not get first and second one day the sooner. ENFECTS OF FREE TRADE ON THE VALUE OF LAND.—We are glad to find that the experience of Mr. W. W. Simpson the celebrated auctioneer, fully shows the absurdity of the fears which the protectionists pro fessed to entertain as to the probable effects of free-trade measures on the value of land. The free traders were always convinced of the absurdity of these fears, but the protectionists would listen to no argument, they were determined to be ruined, they would not be comforted. What has been the result of these dreaded measures. Listen to Mr. Simpson himself at one time a protec tionist. As long ago as last April in a speech at Nor wich, he said that—" Although he had been a thorough going protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and honest conviction, that rents which had been set on fair and liberal principles within the list seven years would be permanent ; that the year's pur chase on such rentals had risen within the last six months, and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting free-trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had proved himself to be one of the most talented, far-sighted, and fearlessly honest Ministers that had ever lived in the tide of time." The present circum stances of the country, as Mr. Simpson justly observes in one of his advertisements, fully justify the opinion above expressed, and if higher authority were wanted we have it in the person of the late Sir Chitties Wetherell, who, high Tory and ultra-protectionist as he was, determined, on reflection after the free-trade melt• sures of last session were passed, not only to retain till the land which he possessed, but to add largely to his real estate by investing all his surplus capital in the purchase of landed property. MR. FORREST, THE AMERICAN TRAGEDIAN. — We learn, from a private letter, that Mr. Forrest re cently finished a most suceessful engagement at the Park Theatre, New York. His reception was enthusiastic, and the house was crowded on each night of his per formance. He appeared in Macbeth on the occasion of his benefit. At the close of the tragedy, Mr. Forrest being unanimously called for, came forward, amidst the cheers of the crowded auditory. After returning his thanks for the honour done him, he went on to say And, in the hope that you may continue to approve My efforts, they shall henceforth be employed, most strenuously, to bring the American stage within the in fluence of a progressive movement—(Cheers)—to Call forth and encourage American dramatic letters—(Ap plause)—and, last not least, to advance the just claims of our own meritorious and deserving actOrs.---(Applause;) And yet, while I shall endeavour to exert an influence 114- vour a ble to American actors, you will do me . the justice to believe that I am animated by no ungenerous motives towards the really deserving of any other country ;" (Loud cheers)—for I should blush to imitate that nar row, exclusive, prejudiced, and, I may add, anti-Americigt feeling, which prescribes geographical limits to the growth of genius and talent.—(Protracted applanse) True worth is the birthright of no country, but is the common property of all.—(Applause and cheers.) And, ladies and gentlemen, if it pleases you to applaud 1!_t!cl to second, in this endeavour, my humble efforts, I w ill say to you, in the language of the old Cardinal in the play, — There's no such word as fail I' " M CHES T T .

BRUTAL MURDER.--A widow woman named Dal. lenne, living in a lone house near Villiers-eur-Bonnires, was brutally murdered a few nights back by two men . who had concealed themselves in a cart-house during her absence. They strangled her with a piece of cord; which was found next morning on the spot. Then then: took away all her money, only 5f., which they divided, The body being found the next morning, the police were set to work, and they in the course of the day arrested: two youths, who confessed their crime. One is a young man of 22, named Boucher, formerly attached to the m hospice of Bean , rais, and the other a lad, aged 17, bft longing to a respectable family of Arcliy,
