Oil CREIVIORNE GAIDENS. The advanced season of the year, bringing with it s it does cold and damp evenings, and the rapidly increasing shortness of the days, have kt length put a stop to out•door amusements. The season at Cremorne for the summer of 1852 may, therefore, be considered as closed. Afrer the great and successful efforts put forth last year, under the stimulus of the Great Exhi bition, it might have been thought a task of no ordi nary difficulty to maintain even the attractions of the previous season, much more to surpass them by the introduction of new and diversified amusements. The success of last year, however, has, it appears, only proved an incentive to renewed exertions on the part of the proprietor, which were evinced at the opening 0 1 the present season by the additional development of the natural and artificial beauties of the grounds, as well as by the numerous additions to the floral attractions, fountains, vases, statues, and other sculptured embellishments. Neither has the ma nagement, in other respects, disappointed the expec tations thus held out. The excellence of the Cremorne band is well known. The car e f ul selections a nd well-adapted compositions of Bosisio, who has admirably presided over this department, deserve special communication. Of the theatrical amusements, Le Barbze the new Spani s h ballet, rde Cad i z, may be said to have enjoyed the preference of the public, from the richness of its comic h umour and the variet y of incident which it presented, although the splendour of the scenery in Azurine will not readily be for gotten, any more than the excellent dancing of Milano and the Cusbnies w ill be easily excelled. In the selection of performers for the Cirque the gr e at es t talent available was obtained, and the crowds of visitors who nightly presented themselves proved that there was nothing to be found fault with o r wan ti ng in this branch. A highly interesting variation in the evening's amusements has throughout the season been found in the Kefir exhibition, comprising two men, with a female and a child. To att em pt a d escr ipti on of the numerous brilliant files which have taken place during the past summer is needless. The marked success which has attended those held in aid of the various metropolitan charitable institutions fur nishes the best proof that nowhere are there more ample resources and opportunities afforded for re plenishing funds and recreating friends than at Cremorne. The spectacle of balloons has been rendered more important this year than they have ever before been by the engagement of M. Poitevin, he having produced the largest and best-constructed balloon in the world. .Although the introduction of animals was a mistake, it Yeas quite evident that the selection of the first aero naut of the day gratified thousands of first-class visi tors, and realised that which had only been previously attempted in England, his intrepid wife having effected four parachute descents in perfect safety. A new fea- ture (for Cremorne) remains to be noticed, and one that in its arrangements and carrying out reflected as lunch credit upon the management as it afforded plea sure to Mr. Simpson's numerous friends—we allude to the bal masque for his benefit, which we must re gret had not taken place earlier, as it was acknow ledged to be the only drawback to a file which was vastly superior to anything of the kind lately pre sented to the public. In taking our leave of Mr. Simpson and his popular Property for the recess, we feel most happy to be able to congratulate him upon an annually increasing amount of distinguished patronage, a patronage which as bestowed, because deserved, and which we feel convinced w ill c o ntinue to increase so long as libe rality and punctuality are the marked characteristics 43f Cremorne. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.--THE VACANT ISHomic.—The Mail of this evening says, there is reason to believe that the doubt that has existed since the death of the late Bishop of Meath as to who should be his successor has been terminated in favour of Dr. Singer, Regina Professor, and Archdeacon of Raphoe. A letter from Limerick, dated last night, states that a respectable farmer was brutally murdered on the pre vious evening. The victim's name was Shine, a tenant of the Earl of Dunraven. The unfortunate man's only crime was that he had the temerity to take some land on the adjoining estate of the Rev. William Waller, from which some people (supposed to be implicated in the present brutal murder) had been removed. Seven Persons have been arrested on suspicion of being impli tutted in the foul decd. PEDESTRIANISM. GREAT TEN-MIL RUNNING-MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND 1001. This great match, between W. Jackson (the Ameri can D eer) and John Levett of (Battersea), to run ten miles fcr the championship and 501. aside, came off yesterday at Copenhagen mouse, Islington, and attracted to the grounds between 11,000 and 12,000 spectators.

THE k I RENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. At a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce at Bordeaux to the PRESIDENT, on Saturday evening, Louis NAPOLEON made a :•peech, which is described by the telegraphic dispatch as an explanation of his policy of peace abroad, and of moral order and ssise progress at home. The speech created a great sensation. In his discourse at Bordeaux, the PRINCE PRESI DENT, alluding to the Empire, said—" There is, however, an apprehension which I must answer to. Certain persons say, the Empire is war ; I say the Empire is peace, for France wishes it, and when France is satisfied the world is quiet." The following is the latest telegraphic dispatch re ceived by the Government : Angouleme, Oet. 10, Three in the Afternoon. " His Highness has made a triumphal entry into Angouleine. The whom° way from Bordeaux was an ovation. It is impossible t') describe the enthusiasm of the populations, The inhabitants of the country dis tricts, to the number of more than 80,000, pressed on the live of the cortege, which was greeted with the most ardent acclamations. At the door of the Cathedral the Bishop, at the head of his clergy, felicitated the Prince, who replied with the eteatest kindness. The Prince's health is excellent." The Mayor of Sevres, near Paris, has put forward the following proclamation : " Town of Sevres—Proclamation of the Empire— ' Inhabitants,—Paris, the heart of France, acclaimed on the 10th May for its Emperor him whose divine mission is every day revealed in such a striking and dazzling manner. At this moment it is the whole of France elec trified which salutes her saviour, the elect of God, by this new title which clothes him with sovereign power, God wills it,' is repeated with oue voice; vox populi, vox Dei. It is the marriage of France with the envoy of God which is contracted in the face of the universe, under the auspices of all the constituted bodies, and of all the people. That union is sanctified by all the ministers of religion, and by all the Princes of the Church. These addresses, these petitions, and these speeches, which are at this moment being exchanged between the Chief of the State and France are the documents connected with that holy union ; every one wishes to sign them, as at the church he would sign the marriage deed at which he is present. Inha bitants of Sevres, as the interpretor of your sentiments, I have prepared the deed which makes you take part in this great national movement. Two books are opened at the Maire to receive your signatures; one of them will be offered in your presence to him whom I from this day designate under the title of Emperor. Let us hope that he will deign to accede to the supplications which I shall address to him in your name, to return to the Palace of St. Cloud through our territory, by the Gate of Honour which we possess. The other book, which I shall pre sent for the signature of the Prince, will remain in your archives as a happy souvenir of this memorable epoch. Let all the population, without distinction, come, there fore, and sign this document; it sets forth that which is in your heart and in your will." The document is as follows : "Proclamation of the Empire,—The town of Sevres, obeying the power of its sentiments of affection and of gratitude for Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the envoy of God and the elect of France, her Saviour, and her glory, proclaims him Emperor of the French, under the name of Napoleon 111., and confers on him and on his descendants hereditary rights.

The Legislative Assembly of Frankfort met on the Bth, and passed the following resolution by a majority of 5G to 6 The Assembly declares to the Senate, that it recognises the force of the law of the 19th October, 1848, on all points not abolished by the Se nate, on the 31st December, and the law of the 21st February, 1849, and that it regards as legally esta blished the changes introduced into the Constitution in virtue of these laws." The Emperor of AIISTRItk arrived at Pordenone (Lombardy) on the 7th, to be present at the grand cavalry manoeuvres, which are to last until the 12th. On the 4th inst. a man named MERGENER was executed at Magdeburg, in Prussia, for poisoning his father. This is the first execution under the new law in Prussia, which orders that capital punishment shall be inflicted within the walls of a prison in the presence of the authorities and of twelve persons chosen as witnesses. The execution was with the axe, and the whole of the mournful ceremony occu pied fifteen minutes. TUNIS. Advices from Tunis, of the 25th ult., in the Medi terraneo of Genoa, state that the BEY continues in a state of convalescence, and intends naming a Regent to dispatch the pending affairs, which have been ac cumulating for the last four months ; but this will probably not take place until after the festival of the great bairani. Letters from Tripoli, of the 20th ult., in the same paper announce the arrival there of MUS• TAPHA NOURRI PACHA, the new Turkish Governor • General, and General ACHMET PACHA, appointed to the supreme command of the troops of the Regency in lieu of HALET PACHA. IZZET PACHA, the late Go vernor, and all his family, embarked on the same day for Constantinople, on board the Ottoman war steamer Muhbiri Surur, which had brought the former personages. SHOCKING MURDER AN!) SUICIDE. ---_ Yesterday morning considerable alarm was created among the inhabitants of Mile.eed in consequence of the following shocking murder and suicide, perpe trated by a female servant, named Jane Collin, aged 17 years, in the service of Mr. Thomas Elliott, a cigar manufacturer, at No. 15, Nelson.street, Cannon street road. It appears that Collin had been in the service of Mr. Elliott for a considerable time as maid-of-all-work. She seemed kind to the children, two of whom slept with her. Yesterday morning Mrs. Elliott called Collin, but after repeatedly shouting she went up stairs to see what had become of her, when she found the infant lying across the bedstead quite dead. The mother, in a state of distraction, seized the lifeless servant, and discovered d . body of wash-house who child and rushed down stairs to her thehusband, immediately went in search of the of the flo o r. and an a pool of blood in the back traced the spots of blood } li e n open razor lying in the centre up stairs to the or cupboardhaonddy i n of a his small servant. lumber was dragged hole She position, with a from the place in a crouched-up round which she had Le_ , wound in her neck, which was saturated with e b a lc very tightly an apron, dead, but Mr. Elliott sent a messengerd.She seemed to be h out° found_ro attic, the ton, the surgeon, of the Commercial -road, for Mr. Tayn an examination of the body of the child, who made hibited several severe bruises round the which ex stomach. He then went to the body nethpneck and which presented a sad s p ectacle, and life had ex tinct about two hours. The child was nearly and had been dead a bout the same tim e. cold, It seems, from inquiry made by the police, that th parents of the female (C ollin) are res p ectabl e persons, living at the east-end of London, and the new s o f the sad affair much shoc k e d them. They are totally at a loss to account for the deed, which is enveloped in the greatest obscurity at present. Tho razor belonged to Mr. Elliott, and it must have been taken from a table-drawer in the front parlour, where he usually shared himself. The wretched female must have beaten the child very much about the head and afterwards have strangled it with an apron, which fact is confirmed by what can be gleaned from the other child, which was in the same bed. She screamed several times at the deceased infant being ill-treated, but her cries for help were not heard by the parents, who slept in the lower part of the house. The Lord Mayor Elect (Alderman OhlliF, MY.) has appointed as his chaplain for the year of his mayoralty the Rev. Doctor Mortimer,-Head Master of the City of London school. ONDON, s.i f , - , RT.I.NG NOTES. T Am No. CCCXXV. Ft )R TO-MORROW'S RACES AT F ,EiViIARKET, &c. '0 TE r i EDITOR OF THE SUN. —Yesteri jay's races, with the exception of the match b "elm . Pensioner and the Jemima filly, came off in strict . lecc ) r' lance with my anticipations. The best race of the d' l y was that between Phrmia and Dio media; the f' arsner winning, after a desperate struggle from half wi ,y up the distance, through sheer gameness, by a hoed. For the other matches, the Jemima filly—a great pot— defeated the Duke's Pensioner very easily; Glenlucee Jnfirmed the truth of her previous running by beating F .irt easily. Maria's allowance of 51bs in the race for the 50 soya. stakes eta bled her to dispose of Caloric easily enough. BAy Roust ind, who ought not to have started, broke down e , ,tl yin the race and finished her career upon the Turf. TI E , 5, 1 Sovs. Plate, for two yrs ohl, first olass, was carried 0 , T with great easo by Pelion, Pug Orrock being the only one that could get anywhere near him ; and Scandal w xi the LO Soya. Plate, second class, in very clever styli beating, among others, Frenzy and William Rufus. The 50 Si ivy. Plate, for three yrs old and upwards, A. F., a sort of trial stake to the great race to•day; was all one way, a s Kingston came when his jockey pleased, and won In a canter. Joe Miller was second, Con more third, Ben Nevis a moderate fourth, and Maid stone a bad flab and last. This race, however, had very little ef, 'yet on the Cesarewitch betting ; it :merely advanced W. 31. 4hergage sad Indian Warrior a point each. The bett'ng sent Le Juif back five or six points, and Lady Amy au from twelve to twenties. Lady Evelyn opened firm a t &even, and closed at sixes. The Derby betting was of fly remarkable for the enormous sum betted agains t L erd Exeter's Filbert-60,0001. to 2,0001. having been boo ked. This son of Nutwith and Celia— about when Ire marked in my first observations on the Derby of 'Ai 353, that he was the best of Lord Exeter's lot for Vatic race—is a fine looking animal, but will, in my opinion, turn out to be a sort of Midas in his racing career. Th e manner in which they support him for the Clearwei, t pretty clearly intimates that my first and second horse s—Orinoco and Estrella—must be content to fill the sec and and third places, and leave him the leading one'. The list I A' sport for to-morrow embraces seven races and a match ; five of the former—namely, The Town Plate, 10 S ova. Stakes, Oatlands Plate, 15 and 10 Soya, Handle spy, will not close and name until this evening. The 50 Soya. Sweepstakes, for two yrs old, Criterion Course, will be contested by four, who will probably run in as follows NICOTINE , 1 ; colt by Alarm, out of Alkali, 2; colt by Assault, dam by Lanercost, out of the Nun, 3; and fill y, by Beiram, out of Amaryllis, 4. Should Nicotine be rem , rued for the Bedford Stakes, which is more valuable, !the Alkali colt will be the winner. The field for the Bedford Stakes will, probably, con sist of Gossip, 'Vest, Bounty, Vaultress, and Nicotine. Of Ninnyhawme►r's ranning I have some doubts, as his name is mixed up with an arrest of forfeits, &c. This said Ninnyhammer is a horse of a superior class, to all appearance, and will accomplish a good thing some of these days. VAULTRESS and Nicotine will probably occupy the first and second places; and Gossip the third. In the Match for 200, Lord Exeter's Mountain Flower, 3 yrs, Bst 71b, with her turn of speed, ought to dispose easily enough of Mr. Payne's War Whoop, 2 yrs, Tat 111 b. Mr. Combe'a filly, by Alarm, out of Rosalind, is considered a good thing for the Bretby Stakes. It is expected that only Cheddar, Pharold, Filbert, and Orinoco, will run for the Prendergast. Mr. Warrener's brown colt, Crams, by Pompey. out of Interlude, broke down so badly at Chester, that his racing career may be considered to have terminated there. Lord Zetland's stud for the future is to be located at John Osborne's stables, Middleham, under the care of George Abdale. I am, yours, &o. Oct. 12. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHRONICLE.—We sincerely trust that a case lately decided at the Southwark Police-cosrt, on an im sortant point of railway administration, has not been Lost upon our readers. Wo reported the complaint on Wednesday, and the magistrate's decision appeared in our number of Saturday last. The case was this:— The driver of a cab refused to take a fare within the railway terminus at London-bridge, and was summoned by the proposed hirer. The railway company de fended the cabman on certain special grounds. They first asserted that a railway terminus is not a pub lic street, road, or place, but ,a private curtilage, we suppose. They next contended that a cab at a railway stati on ceases to be a public vehicle; and finally, that a cab, under such circum stances, could not be held to bo plying for hire. These last averments are, of course, mere pettifogging sur plusage; because, if they can stand at all, they go to the extent of showing that a cab is, pro laic vice, not a haekney . carriage, but a p r i va t e car of the directors; while, if it is not plying for hire, any person using it might, at the end of his journey, refuse to pay his fare. In other words, the railway lawyers ask us to believe that a cab is not a cab, and that vehicles of that description are merely ranged at the stations by g enerous d i rectors and charitable cabmenin order to carry railway travellers home gratuitously. The insolence of this plea betokens its parentage. A railway official alone could have ventured upon so flagrant an affr on t t o common sense. The points raised, it is needless to say ' were dismissed, and, we trust, with i n di gnation, by Air. A'Beckett. It deserves notice, however, that the rail way company had the unparalleled indiscretion to ven ture on the subterfuges we have stated in the teeth of the law, which provides that:—" Every hackney car riage standing in any .• . . place , . . . unless hi re d, shall be deemed plying for hire;and which defines a hackney carriage to be, " every . c arr i age standing on hire at any place — i. e., the South- Eastern directors plead that . a cab is not a hackn ey car riage, and that their station is not " a place." This, however, is mere legal chicanery. The plea, however, advanced by the company is of the most formidable de scription, and of the largest bearings. Is or is not a railway station a public place? Can the Queen's writs penetrate Easton-square? Are the metropolit an sta tions sanctuaries or Alsatias, privileged with feudal or canon ical rights? How far do their immunities ex tend? Can they shut their gates, which they boast of erecting, and exclude the Queen, her mon and horses? Have t h e y received any letters patent Which give them monopolies? Are the old days recurring, and have exclusive licences been conferred on these com panies? What is a railway company? V ery serious constitutional questions are beginning to b a m i xe d ep with railway administration. The Queen's hi g h way i s p r actically extinct. Every British subject who quits his home takes out a licence to travel from a board of directors. This board has created a large trading mono poly. It excludes the p u bli c f rom li cense d i ons an d hotels, and compels us all to eat and drink, at com pany's prices,. at company's hostelries. A railway board deals in books, rugs, refreshments, adver tisements, cabs, carriages, post-horses and in every case by a monopoly. They first take and next sell an exclusive licence to supply the public with the necessaries of travelling, and at th e ir o w n prices. Station-trading is, no doubt, a public conve nience as it is called, but it is no public conve nience to be forced to buy our goods ut the company ' s tariff. Sixpence is too much to pay for a cup of bad tea or of worse coffee; and yet such is the extent of railway monopoly that we must either pay this or go without both through a j ourne y o f fi ve h un d re d miles. When railway Acts were passed, did the Legislature ever contemplate investing the companit s with monopolies us odious and as monstrous as ever disgraced a Tudor or a Stuart patent? Once more wo ask, what is a railway corn piny? Is it a news-ag en t? or an a d vert i s i ng agent ? or a bookseller? —i s it a dealer in plaids and fleecy hosiery? or in stale mutton pies and poisonous soup?—or does it invest in cabs and posthorses?—or aro railway compa nies public carriers, and are their roads public roads —their stations public stations? Mr. A'Beckett's deci sion has settled this latter point. The first fair blow at rail way [ tyranny an d i rres p ons ibl e despotism has succeeded. The Catiline of the rail has sufficiently abused public patience. The claim last set up by the companies was perfectly intolerable—they will only permit suc h h ac k ney carr i ages as pay f or th e privilege to enter their stations. With the proprietors of these vehicles they enter into 5 league to plunder the public. They p erm it, nay t h ey encourage, t h e mono polist drivers to make what charges they please ; and the company lays do wn as it s law—i a di rec t contra diction to the statues of the realm—that its cabmen may demand extra fee for luggage, and may refuse a fare when, and for whatever reason, they please. No matter whether the privileged and monopolist ve hicles are foul, dangerous, or rickety, the company en forces its imp er i ous Hobson ' a choice. The cabs must be hired in suc cess i on — e i t h er the next rotten veh i c l e end blind horse, or none. Nor is it in any single de partment of railway business that this trading monopoly is enforced aga i nst the pu b l i c. Th e compan i es claim the right to plaster their walls and carriages with advertisements. Here is a direct breach of the spirit of th e l aw. What r i ght h as a railway to put into i ts coffers advert i sement d u ty instead of the Government? Why should the second-class passen gers be insulted, as they are, by being forced to travel in an advertising van? Why, for ten or twelve hours, are we to be co m p e ll e d to stare upon t h e ty p ogra phic and polychromatic abominations which are stuck up in these " public carriages?" What a total disregard for decency and feeling i s di sp l ayed b y offen di ng our e y es in this scandalous way. Non olet—wherever a board can turn a penny it will. It acts as a general commission agent— it will take a per tentage on every sale. The company pro claims itself huckster and broker as well as carrier; the boards may, and doubtless will, try to admit only their own tradesmen into their stations; and, by putting an exorbitant rent on the privilege, they force the public to submit to any prices that the patentees choose to demand. We trust that M r . A'B ec k e t t ' s d ec i s i on w ill introduce some measure of free trade into railway management. The principle now laid down by authority is, that bye laws are for the public convenience, and not merely for the exclusive trading rights in literature, marine stores, and public vehicles, hitherto claimed by the companies. Certain regulations for the conduct of trade at stations may reasonably be enforced, but these must be for the convenience of travellers, not for the profit of shareholders. If we are reduced to the condition that we must either travel by rail or not all, the companies must be compelled to furnish such conveniences and facilities for reasonable and necessary trade as an ordi nary public road would afford. Railroad rights entail railway duties. It is an invasion of public right t o com pel us, in a public place, to deal with a certain trades man and to pay him a vast profit, which h e is f orce d to charge in order to reimburse himself for the monopoly which he has purchased from the company. It is some thing, however, to find that the monopoly in cabs is ille gal. We shall probably find that the other monopolies established at the stations are equally illegal. We regret to have to announce the death of Miss Augusta Charlotte Baillie, eldest daughter of Kerr Baillie Hamilton, Esq., the newly-appointed Governor of New foundland. Miss Hamilton, we believe, had recently re turned to England for the benefit of her health, from Gre nada, of which island her father was lieutenant-governor; but the best medical skill of the metropolis, assisted by the devotion of attached and affectionate relations, was insuffi cient to arrest the rapid progress of that fatal malady—con sumption. Governor Hamilton arrived in England only just in time to see his beautiful and accomplished daughter alive, for she departed this life on the Bth inst., the very day on which Mr. Hamilton's able and faithful services in the West Indies were rewarded by the publication in the Gazette of his promotion to one of the most important colonial offices under the Crown—the governorship of Newfoundland. IRON Snips.—As a good deal of attention has lately been given to iron ships it may be interesting to ship owners to know that the iron barque Richard Cobden, now being overhauled in No. 1, Canning Graving Dock, was, on Wednesday last, bored through one of apparently the worst and most corroded plates on her, Mr. W. F. Sim, the manag ing owner, being anxious to ascertain what the actual dimi nution in thickness would prove after eight years' service between this and the East. The result was that the : plate operated upon turned out to be precisely the same thickness that it was when the ship was launched in July, 1844, namely, 9-16ths of an inch on the sixth tier from the keel. The only part of the vessel which, on examination, exhi bited any corrosion, and that only slightly, was the bow, where the anchor and chain bad chafed the paint or coating with which the vessel is covered as a preservative, and which appears to perform its office effectually.— Liverpool Albion.

Sir,—We have had our laugh, and a very hearty one too, at the absurdities uttered by some of the " strong-minded women" at Syracuse —at the extra vagant demands made upon cur patience and forbear ance. Perhaps we have felt indignant at the attempt made to overturn the order of nature, and break in upon the relations of social and domestic life ; or we may have been tempted to round off the whole con troversy with the intuitive argument which once closed a debate upon the subject—" After all, a man is a man, and a woman is a woman." But the in quiry still forces itself upon our attention—is the relation of woman to society in all respects what it ought to be ? Has she no genuine wrongs to com plain of, when we have put aside the question whether she should b e a mag i strate and a police-officer, a legislator and a gaoler, a general and a private sol dier, a merchant on 'Change and a dray woman, a commissioner in bankruptcy and a sheriff 's officer ? Single women and wid ows , h o ldi ng the proper qualification, have votes for parish officers; why not for members of Parliament ? Why should their pro perty be unrepresented ? Wh y s h ould they have no voice in choosing those who shall snake laws for them in common with men ? If they had the right to vote, and shrunk from its exercise, they need not vote. But they do bolder and more courageous things than it would be to present themselves at the polling-booth continually, and society applauds them for so doing. Clear perception of what is right, and a conscience unflinchingly supporting the decisions of the understanding, are by no means confined to men. I doubt if women would cry out for the dark secrecy of the ballot-box. If they voted, it would be in the face of day. Give the femme sole the right to vote, and you would at once do justice and infuse a purify ing element into those scenes of bribery, corruption, and intimidation, which are the staple of our Parlia mentary elections. But perhaps women are virtually represented in Parliament with the other unenfranchised members of society; still, have they nothing to complain of in their legal position ? Are the laws set around them as a suffi cient defence ? The unmarried woman and the widow it is true, hold property on precisely the same tenure as men. So far good. No father, brother, or cousin can despoil them, except with their own con sent. I speak of property which is theirs by gift or inheritance; it is , absolutely theirs, but no longer than they remain single. If they marry, their pro perty becomes absolutely their husband's, or that transfer, by legal right of the husband, is evaded by the interposition of trustees. 'When the priest has pronounced his blessing, and she and her yet lover are enjoying the sweets of the honeymoon, he pro perty passes as effectually out of her control as if' she were already dead. She is lost in the person of her husband, or in those of her trustees. The proceeds of her settlement are nominally to be paid over to her for her sole use and benefit; but, as soon as they come into her hands, her liege lord may demand that she should deliver up such proceeds to be disposed of at his discretion, or indiscretion, or worse. Her settlement is of use only in case of her husband's in solvency, to save them both, with their children, from poverty, or in the rare case of a legal separation. But let us grant, further, that the settlement of a married woman, clumsey expedient as it is t o cover the injustice o f the law, has its compensating advantages, that by it a woman is to a certain extent defended from the consequences of the unthrift or profligacy of her husband. Let us grant that a woman's ab sorption in the legal person of her husband makes her and h e r t rus t ee -held property free from liability to his creditors, if she have drawn a worse than blank in the lottery of life, or have recklessly thrown her self away upon the unworthy. Still, what shall we say to the unpropertied woman, the virtuous, indus trious, striving woman of the middle and lower classes, married by fate or folly to an idle, spendthrift, dissipated husband ? And there are such. He will not earn a living for her and her children. Why should h e ? Well, then, she will ; and she has not lost all love for the father of her little ones. She re members the days of their courtship, and the first few sweet months of their married life; and she will work for him too, if he will let her. Such is often the prodigal love of woman. But, let her labour, let her deny herself rest, and leisure, and sleep, and everything but what is necessary to keep up her strength for daily duty—let her rejoice and thank God that she has power to gain bread for the mouths that she has brought into existence—when she has toiled, and gathered, and is looking with complacency upon her gains, considering with joy what necessaries and com forts they will purchase for those dearer to her than her life, her husband may come in and sweep off all her hard earnings, leave her and her children penni less, and spend her precious gains upon his idle and selfish vices. She has no legal right to withhold them. She depends altogether upon the energy of her maternal will and the little remains of grace that may yet cling to the debased heart of her lord and master. I need go no further. Whatever absurdities may be spoken about woman's rights, a deep feeling of shame must attend the contemplation of woman's wrongs ; and surely the Times will give its powerful support to the demand that such wrongs should be earnestly considered, and at an early period, with a view to their redress, that it may no longer be the opprobrium of our laws that, being made by the stronger sex, they leave the weaker defenceless just when they have the deepest need of protection and the strongest claims upon our sympathy. Bristol, Oct. 4. E. C. THE SUFFERINGS OF WOMAN. (From the Leader.) "Whatever absurdities may have been spoken about Woman's rights," says " E. C.," a correspondent of the Times, " a deep feeling of shame must attend the contemplation of Woman's wrongs ;" and the writer claims the assistance of that journal in exposing the injustice of the law which makes a woman lose all hold over her own property if she be married, or which makes the unproportioned woman, however virtuous, thrifty, and solicitous she may be for her children, see all her earnings swept away to supply the vices of a debauched husband. We are too apt in reading communications of this kind, t o l e t our minds rest only on the ultimate fact, without calling to our perception the misery which is inflicted in the Proce • ss towards that ultimate f ac t. W e d o not dis cern, as we should, the condition of the woman who toils against hope, who carries back in her hand the humble exchange for bread and clothes to her chil dren, who sees them snatched from her by the man that once said he loved her—we do not feel the gloomy uncertainty, the sinking heart, the exasperation, the rage, all rendered vain by the hopelessness--we do not attain to the distinct perception of this scene, happen as it does, to a greater or less extent, in thou sands of houses right about us, every week, every year. - But independently of these civil disabilities, there are certain personal rights which would not last a day after woman should be politically enfranchised, or man should attain to the full sense of the justice which he owes. Occasionally the wrong bursts forth in some flagrant scandal, as in the recent " tragedy" at Paris ; but if such overt tragedies are exceptional, how much less exceptional are the cases which never come before the public eye I Even when they do dis play their horrors, one reels that there is something more. In this Paris case, we hear not the beginning. A man is murdered, and a romance of real life flashes upon the public; but the narrative has not the com pleteness which belongs to fact not less than to fiction. We find two English gentlemen in Paris, with habits of frequent association ; one of them, the I younger man, has a wife, amiable and engaging; in a child-bed fever the lady declares to her husband that her infant child is not his, but his friend's; the two men meet immediately afterwards, and the hus band kills his rival and flies, and the lady is lodged in a madhouse. That is very frightful, but it is far from being all. There is a practice of hushing up the truth about these matters, though the truth is gene rally better to be known than half the truth with a complement of false inference. One fact is remarkable ; at the desire of the physi cian, the husband had con sen t e d that when his wife became dangerously ill, the friend should be sum moned, and that he should tend her several days and several nights. Surely the moral necessity for such the attendance must have suggested to any il world enough to prevent that surprise attack. A w alone justify or extenuate the murderousmihni of which can hand so rigorously, usually courts exp a man who is prepared to take vengeance l ninettoiohnihs before ll fa k ta n l ow events come to suet* pass. in BPuart issttilhlatthtihs the intimacy no tsll . It w h i i s ch pe le rf d to this ectlywe re sult had been the subject of rem ark. We do not say the se things to aggravate the burden of the fugi tive, but we say them because they tend to expose that barbarous routine in suc h affairs which makes the point at issue a mere matter of quarrel between two men, without any regard to the interests or feel ings °Rim , woman. She is the helpless plaything of others' passions. The very candour of a mind help lessly alienated by sickness could not disarm the fe rocity of personal pride. What mattered the mortified " honour" of a man, compared to the wreck of the woman's reason, life, and affections ? They are made of no account. Nor are we, in the absence of all evidence either way, to presume that the transfer of the woman's af fections was a mere caprice. Without repeating any of the stories current in the whisper which accompa nies the published reports, we content ourselves with saying that we must not so presume. Was there any reason for the change? and if so what was the rea son ? Did it leave the balance of blame to her or to the " injured " husband ? Was he or she the more materially injured, the more outraged? The facts which would be the reply to these questions seldom qr. 4 come out on the post mortern inquiry ; the woman's case is seldom stated, far more seldom made good ; yet assuredly, in the eye of real justice., she snould stand on an equality of right with the I:inn. Bat the discussion of these subjects continues in the Times; however superficially, the relation of m'oman to man is discussed in tho most public journal of the world ; and the facts will gradually draw discussion beneath the surface. OUR JIARITIIIIEso URGES —NA TIONAL DEFENCE. We read in a Liverpool journal a few days since an extract from a work of some authority, in which it was stated that in 1799 the merc h ants of Liverpool fitted out 120 privateers, amountin g to 31,385 tons, which carried 1,986 guns and 8,754 m en . squadron realised upwards of a million sterling. prize money. If Liverpool could do this in 1799, s h e could doubtless in the pr e sent day furnish f?r defen sive and offensive purposes at least five tunes the force—one-third of it steam v es s e l s , with 40,000 stalwart fellows to man them. Here then is the reserved naval force of the coun try; but the question is how to make it available in as short a time as a steamer can cross the Channel?— and if these 40,000 men were ready on an emergency, where are the armaments ? and if the guns were ready, how will the seamen know the way to handle them ? They would do well enough if they could run alongside of the enemy. The same daring and headlong courage and grim determination that irresistibly carried all before them during the war, would tell with the same disastrous results to the foe; but how would they manage with a skilled enemy, who could choose his distance ? They would be in about the same predi cament as men armed with old ships' pistols encoun tering others with the modern hair triggers : with this disadvantage too, that not only would their shots be random ones, but they would not, as in the late war, be enabled to do any injury by hurling their weapons at their opponents, for the enemy would be out of reach. There is no doubt that we have both materiel and personnel to resist the combined attack of the whole world, but for the moment they are comparatively useless. The announcement of hostilities will be a powerful dash, and it cannot be denied that to meet a coup de main we have no ships besides those of the Royal Navy adapted for the service, and no organised force of trained sailors to man the ships if they were everything that could give the country confidence in the protection they would be expected to afford. It is, then, adaptation of vessels and organization of men that are wanted to give security against foreign aggression. To meet these requirements we have two committees, nominated by the Admiralty, at present at work; the first is inquiring into the capability of the merchant steam navy to receive a war equipment; and the second is collecting evidence to guide them in propounding to the Government the best and readiest means of manning the navy. To what extent these committees have proceeded, we know not; but we trust that they have already ar ranged for the Royal Mail Packet steamers to be fitted for the emergencies of war, and that they have obtained the unanimous consent of the seamen be longing to those steamers, to be instructed in the use of great guns and small arms, and that having given the necessary orders to the Ordnance Departments for the supply of the armaments, they are ready to extend their sphere of inquiry at the great ports of the country, with the view of organising defensive squad rons from amongst the hundreds of other steam-yes sels belonging to Gr ea t B r i ta i n, and of not only ob taining the promises of the seamen to serve in time of need, but of making themselves really efficient and powerful —we may say invincible, by c ommenc i ng to receive instructions in the use of the great gun and the cutlass. If only one seaman in ten, or even fifteen, were proficient in the gunnery exercise, the seamen of the ports of London and Liverpool alone, as auxiliaries to our Royal fleet, would settle an invasion in a more summary manner than even the Spaniards did the attempt on Cuba by the American fillibusteros.— Herald. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. _—• - (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SAILING MATCH BETWEEN THE CELE BRATED AMERICAN YACHT AMERICA AND THE SWEDISH YACHT SVERIGE. COWES, OCT. 12, 1852.—This match, which is for 100/. a side, w as t o have come off on Saturday, at 11 A M. The Swede was at her post, ready for starting, but the owner of the America objected to sailing as he con sidered that there was not a 7-knot breez", which being supported by the Secretary of the Royal Yacht Club, the America did not get under weigh; but the Sverige started alone, and reached off to the Nab. Soon after her return the America got under weigh, and they beat down the north shore off Cowes, the America having, we thought, some advantage as she laid nearer the wind. Her sails stand like boards, while the Swede's bag like the English yachts, or nearly 3.3 bad. The Sverige re turned to Cowes Roads on Saturday evening. This morning she proceeded again to the starting point, but there not being a 7-knot breez?, sho tried her powers with the Wildfire yacht, which the sailor's say sails like a " little devil." The little un had the start, and they proceeded to the westward, the wind being from the northward; with the light breeze blowing she was likely to keep it.

A FLOATING BRIDGE FROM WEST TO EAST COWES. —This long wished-for and highly desirable mode of joining these two towns is likely soon now to be carried into effect. A company is being farmed, engineers aro on the spot, traffic takers ate busily employed at the ferry, and there is every appearance of the subject being taken up in a business-like manner, and being well sup ported by the inhabitants of Cowes, Hyde, and indeed the island generally.

The Dutch range of coast appears to have experienced the recent Equinoctial gales as severely as our own shores, perhaps more so as regards the number of dis asters and the loss of life and property. The havoc amongst the shipping was most considerable, and of the many vessels wrecked during the storm was the cele brated Red Rover steamer, which for many years, it may be remembered, was a favourite passage boat between London, Herne Bay, and Margate. The unfortunate event took place during the height of the gale on Friday night while on her first outward trip to Grongen. The Red Rover some short time back, was purchased off her old station for the purpose of being converted intoa screw boat, and to be employed in the Dutch trade, th e conveyance of cattle and general merchandise; she under went a thorough overhaul, hull strengthened, paddle boxes removed, now engines put into her, and fitted with the screw propeller. Other alterations and improve ments were made in order to render her a sure sea-boat, and under the command of Mr. Cullam, master, she left the Thames on Wednesday on her first voyage across to the Dutch coast. Scarcely had she got into anything like sea-room before she encountered the gale which has proved so destructive in all directions of the coast. She steamed on in the hope of weathering the storm, and she was reported by two vessels, since arrived, to be making all way to her destination. Friday afternoon, however, brought more fearful weather, which tried the vessel severely; and she was blown ashore on the beach about two miles from Schevengen,and the master an d crew , and some persons who had been permitted to take a voyage in her, were saved. On the same night another vessel, called the Sirene, bound to Stettin from Cher bourg, went ashore near the spot where the Rod Rover was wrecked, and, melancholy to add, only two out of the ship's crew were saved. In the vicinity of the Dooms dens 50 fishing boats, each containing five men, were out when the storm set in, and out of that number only five had returned when the mail left. Tho worst fears are entertained for the fate of the remainder of the fisher men. • THE LATE J. C. NZILD, ESQ.—Tbe death of Mr . Neild has placed a mass of papers in the hands of his execu tors. lie was in the habit of safely storing the various com. munications he received, and also copies of the answers which he sent. From these it is clear that although he was rigidly careful and penurious, he was not without sympathy for his fellow men, but that he did at times distribute portions of his great wealth in acts of benevolence and charity. T o t h e Deaf and Dumb Asylum and the Bucks Infirmary he was a contributor; and, notwithstanding his stern and repulsive mode of receiving personal solicitations, it is known that the deserving needy were, when in distress, often assisted by him. It has been said t hat the p ersons who found him at North Marston, when he cut his throat some 2 years since, and but for whose interposition he must have perished, were not rewarded by him. This, it transpires, is incorrect, inas much as in his f e -time, the family were from time to time assisted and some of them were by his aid enabled to emi grate.—Oxford Chronicle. CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday (Friday) morning, while one of the labourers at present engaged in removing t h e manure from the depot in Garngad -road was employed in digging up the earth he discovered the dead body of a male child. It appeared to have been about a month old at the time of death, and when found state of decomposition.

The Japan expedition squadron, consisting of the Mississippi, Princeton, and Alkgtany steam frigates, under the commend of Commodore C. Ringold, was to sail on the 10th November. Two fishing schooners had arrived at Gloucester from the fishing grounds. They reported several ad ditional warnings by the Lritish cruizera, but no further seizures, except the schooner Caroline Knight, of Newburyport, on the I 1 th u!t., about ten miles north of Prince Edward's Island. The owners of the Caroline Knight had received a letter from the cap tain, in which he states that there were other vessels inside his at the time of the seizure, and that he had no intention to trespass on forbidden ground. It was estimated that the returns of mackerel this year would fall short at least one-half of the usual average, taking the estimate from the " catch" during the same period last year.

We have brief advicea from Buenos Avres to the 7th of August, at which date hides, both dry and salted, were scarce and high. The Bost on Ad ver ti ser o f September 27th gi ves the foll ow i ng summary o f Ri ver Plate intel ligence The barque Buck Eye, which arrived here yester day from Buenos Ayres, brings advices from that port to the 7th alt.— a week later than the latest accounts before received. The Progreso of the 6th says that sa tisfactory official communications have been received from all the provinces, g i v i ng t h e i r assen t t o the prin ciples which are to serve as t h e b as i s o f t h e approaching national organization. The province of Catamarea had at last given in its adhesion, and had distinguished itself for its patriotism and confidence, having ratified the agreement cf San Nicholas in all its parts. "On the 20th of August the representatives of all the provinces were to assemble at the capital, Santa Jecina, to form a General Constituent Congress. The Progreso says that the Congress is the hope of all; its deliberations will be the balsam which will heal for ever the bleeding wounds which tyranny and recent events had opened in the body politic. The Progreso of August 1 contains the official re cognition by General Urquiza, us Provisional Dictator, of the independence of the Republic of Paraguay, and the conclusion of a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation, by which the free navigation of the rivers Paraguay and Parana is secured to the Republic of La Plata and the Empire of Brazil. This treaty is regarded as an event of great importance. The independence of Paraguay was acknowledged from the 17th of July. " Accounts from Montevideo state that the Oriental Government having sent a Commissioner to the mouth of the river La Plata, to ascertain the most suitable place for the establishment of a lighthouse for the benefit of vessels coming from sea, he had returned, having desig nated the island of Lobos as the point best adapted for the object. "On the 27th of July M. St. George and Sir C. Hotham were received by the Oriental Government and presented their credentials. Sir C. Hotham afterwards sailed in the Vixen for Buenos Ayres with M. St. George, and on the 6th they were presented to General Urquiza. '. - The Progreso says that it has been reported that the Brazilian Government had obtained from the Argentine Government permission for a Brazilian war steamer to enter the Parana river for the purpose of transporting a Minister of the Emperor of Paraguay. The report is contradicted, and it is added that the representatives of Brazil at Buenos Ayres, with whom the Government en tertained the most cordial relations, had no motive for making such a request. "The decree lately issued, admitting flour into Buenos Ayres, has been revoked ." A party of thirty or forty slaves escaped from Kentucky about the 28th ult. They were pursued to Ohio by their owners, who suspecting them to be in a certain house, applied for a warrant to search it, which was refused. Three of the runaways were subsequently captured on the road and taken on their way back. At last accounts the negroes of the neighbourhood had assembled in great numbers with arms, and surrounded the hotel where the parties were stopping. It was feared that disastrous conse quences might ensue, as the slave-owners had ex pressed a determination to have their property at all hazards. Advices from Tampico to the 12th ult. had been received at New Orleans. The Mexican war steamer City of Mexico and the sloop of war Puebla were in the port. The excitement in regard to the usurpa tion by Cardenas of the Governorship of the State of Tamaulipas still continued to exist A decree bad been issued conferring upon the Governor whatever powers might be required to repress the revolutionary spirit exhibited at Tampico and other parts of the State. If the Governor considered it necessary to employ Don Antonio Canalos in the matter the ne cessary licences would be conferred upon him. A pronunciamento had been declared as a last resource. An appeal had been made to the General Congress, and the election of Cardenas pronounced null and void. At St. Jsgo de Cuba another earthquake occurred on the 2Sth of August. The inhabitants, who were fearfully terrified, had built temporary huts upon the beach. Some of the papers mention that two British offioers had been arrested and imprisoned at savannah on suspicion of being " fillibusters." The British con sul procured their immediate release. SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. Subjoined is the Royal decree, as it has been published in the French papers, regarding the op tion to be given to the holders of Spanish bonds to exchange their present stock for a smaller propor tion of a stock bearing an immediate interest of three per cent. It is very obscure, and the entire way in which the affair has been managed has been exceedingly favourable for the purposes of specu lation : - "Art. 1. The holders of the New Three per Cent. De ferred Stock are to be allowed to change their bonds at the price fixed by the Government for a three per cent. consolidated stock. "2. Every six months the Cabinet will determine the price at which the exchange can be made during that period, and the amount that may be exc hanged, i reserv ing the power of increasing the amount n proportion to the demand. " 3. Every month, at the period fixed by the Junta of the debt, which will be adv ertised previously, the propo sals of the holders will be made known to the Junta. The Junta will admit those proposals which, at the price named, are the most advantageous, and which do not ex ceed the amount fixed by the Government. If that amount is more than the amount tendered for, the Junta will ma k e it known to the Government, w h o w ill a d o pt me: presented during the same monthly period p ec ro o p rd o. i s n a g ls ly. 4.su measures and admitted, notwithstanding they may consist of di ff erent prices, will be conv er t e d at the rate of the highest bidding. 3. As soon as the proposals are accepted, the Minis try of the Publi c D e b t w ill cancel the o ld b o nds, and proceed to the delivery o f th e 3 p e r cent. consolidat ed bonds with the least possible delay. "6. All bonds given in for exchange and those de livered in exchange will bo with interest for the current half-year. "7. The holders of the exterior deferre d debt can ex. change either against 3 per cents. exte r ior or interior but bonds at pleasure, the h o ld er s of the interior deferred can exchange only against 3 p er cents. interior consoli dated. "8. The Finance Commissions at London and Paris, and the Vice• Consul Amsterd.ein , will accept pro posals by sealed letters, which w i ll . be sent to Madrid to be opened with the nsual.forr_nal form alities.
