The German Journal of FraNkfort coatais from Darmstadt which states, that in the sitting of thr Second Chamber of the SttVes of' the Grand Duchy on the sth, a resolution was voted, declaring that the execution of the treaty of April G (the coali tion of Darmstadt) menaced the of the country, and compromised the existence of the Zol!- verein, and that the Ch,imber, in const-quence, invited the Government to endeavour to re-orgaisze the Z At verein with Prussia and the other Northern States of Germany; to obtain the suppression of the differen till duties, and other onerous conditions, and to con clude a commercial treaty with Austria alone, after the renewal of the Zollvezein. The Elector of HEISE left Cassel on the 3d, for Munich. The King and Queen of HANOVER left their capital on the 28th ult., for Kirchheim, in Wurtemberg. A letter from Berlin, 3d, says—" The Plenipo tentiary of Wurtemburg to the Customs' Congress has left to-day. The Ministers of the two Hes,i.es alone remain. Baden not having taken part in the last conferences of Stutgardt, negotiations have been opened with that State, having fur object to maintain it in the Zollvrrein, or at least to induce it to con clude with Prussia a treaty by which it will retain the former commercial and customs' advantages. It is thought that similar measures will be attempted with Saxony. An Austrian and a p Prussian le- • po tentiary are now at Paris charged to conclude a7postal treaty with the French Government, in order to facilitate communications between France and Ger many, and according to the last official communica tions there are hopes that these negotiations will be attended with a favourable result. Iu the sitting of the Commission en the Revision of the Constitution, yesterday, a proposition was made not to convoke the Chambers but every two years ; it was, however, re jected, and they will be convoked every year in November." The Vienna Gazette states that a band of forgers had been discovered, who had been employed in ma nufacturing Prussian paper money. The bead• quarters ()f th e gang was in America, and a part of them have been arrested in that oouaat. s, we 3 wh.r. in Gereeanv. The Prussian police had been for some time aware that a regular company had been formed by shares, in the United States, for carrying on this nefarious traffic, and that an agent in the person of a medical flan, a native of Germany, was to land at Bremen With a considerable amount of this counterfeit paper money, which he was to put into circulation at Hatnburgh. A Prussian police officer was conse quently dispatched last week to Bremen, and on the vessel arriving the individual was arrested. On ex- Milling his trunks, a large amount of the false paper, very well e xecute d, was f oun d. A t t h e d eman d of the Prussian Government, the American Government has seized the presses and all the apparatus, and ar rested the culprits, who will be brought before the tribunal at New York. POLAND. A. letter from Warsaw of the 29th ult., in the Boersenhalle of Hamburgh, states that the cholera has completely diappeare3, and that the persons who Were under treatment have been cared. The Boersenhalle of Hamburgh, of the 4th, says : Every traveller, at his entry into Poland, is obliged to make a declaration of wtr,lt money he has in his possession, and what employment he purposes making of it. On his return, the passenger is obliged to say how he has employed it. Any false declaration entails confiscation." SPORT/NG NOTES. No. CCCXXIII. THE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. '0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. FIR, —The ensuing wcek'a sport at headquarters bids fair to be cinite up to this average, if not above it; but this depends materially upon how those stako3, which are at Present of the skeleton description, fill. The Meeting commences on Monday with a 501. Plate, A.F., which, with the T.Y.C. Plate, 20, and 10 eons, Handicap, do not close and name until the evenir g before running. The 50 sovs. Sweepstakes, D.U., will in all probability have CALORIC, Sat 710, and Maria. Bst 2!b, in the first and second places; with Queen Guinever third. Bay Rosalind, of course, does not run. The Post Match for 200, h ft, between Lord Exeter's Phrygia, Kernel, and Margaret of Anjou; and the Duke of Bedford's Oasis, Diomedia, and Berengaria, if run, will be won by the Marquis; but not improbably the match will end in a forfeit, as the Duke's fillies can have no chance against his opponents. Match, 200, h ft, T.Y.C.—Frantic receives forfeit frcm colt by Slane. Match, 200, h ft, T .Y.C. — Pensioner, Bst 71b, will no ' doubt beat filly by Don John out of Jeunima, 83t 21b. Match, 200, h ft, A. F. — Wingenund will receive for feit from colt by Ithuriel out of Gipsy. Match, 200, h ft, T.Y.C.—Maidstone will receive for feit from, or beat, Lapidist, Sat 71b each. Match, 100, h ft, D.M.—Exeter, Bst 71b, will beat Vi- Vondiere, Bst. _ Match, 2 00, T.Y.C.—Glenluce, I think, will just be at Flirt cleverly half-a-length, cr something of that sort. Weight, Bst 71b each. Match, 200, h ft, D.M.—Sackbut will receive forftit from colt by Ithuriel out of Gipsy. Match, 203, h ft, T.Y.C.—Pelion, 2 yrs, 6st 71b, will run too fast for his six years old competitor, Herbert, Bst 121 b. Tuesday's races commence with a 5 soya. Sweepstakes; Which, together with the 5 sovs. Handicap, does not close and name till Monday evening. wiTil,htehißsoyal Stakes of 200 sovs. each, 120 ft, &c., A. F. Year, be more valuable than usual ; for if three inert, it will be worth 1,9601. Lord Derby's Longbow rill only be opposed by Glenltice, and perhaps Poodle or a te rn a L0NG8 , .. , W of course, the winner. The Clear well Stakes of 30 toys, each, 20 ft, T.Y,C., Will, it is expected, be contested by Sittingbnurne, Mar garet of Anjou Filly by Bay Middleton, E s t re ll a , Ori noco, and perhaps ' another or two. Umbriel is re- Ported a non-starter, or, in my humble opinion, ho t.ted h ave won. In his absence I can discover nothing beat SITTINGBOURNE, without it is Estrella. These two will be first and second, and Orinoco about third. The Cesarevvitch Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 fr, with 3 00 added (two miles one furlong and 215 yards), will, as near as I can ascertain at the present moment, be contested by the follow ing :—Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, Alonzo, Indian Warrior, Bird on the Wing, Knight of Gwynne, Le Juif, Weathergage, Lady Amyott or Can dlewick, Marchioness., King Charming, Shartavogue, King Pepin , Phiegni, Kilquade or La Gr.zza, Ladra, Ilex, Waterfall, Lind' ick or Lt . rrywhent, Knight of the Shire, Dangerous, Dullond, and perhaps 'Termagant and Mis sive. The race, I anticipate, will be c on fi ne d ent i re l y to Lady E ve ly n , A r i osto , La uif, Phl-era, Knight of Shire, and Dslloud; PaRIOS ro or LE JUIF =eying off the Cesarewitch laurels. I have thrown over Caudle wick, believing her not to be meant, besides being a doubtful starter, and taken Ariosto in addition to ues , original selection of La Jul.) ; about whom I stated in Note No. 301, that he " is doing 900 d work, will accept, and, I fancy, be a great favourite for the Cesdrewztcle :Match, 100, ti it. T.Y.C.—Dove will beat Torment, Bst 41b each. On Wednesday the Bedford Stake; are almost sure of being carried off by VAULTRESS or NICOTINE. The 50 sovs. Stokes look wed also for NICOTINE.

Once More Tom Pinch ••• 2 ... 2 SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday accounts were received from the various outports, detailing numerous casualties to shipping, unfortunately involving a serious loss of life ; the gale is described by the seamen who were caught in it as most terrific in its violence and dOstrous in its effects. The storm did not prevail from one point, but shifted about from S.S.W. to N.N.W., and was accompanied with heavy rain, and at intervals with thunder and lightning. Ramsgate harbour is crowded with vessels, most of which have either sustained damage to their spare, bulwarks, and rigging, or lost their anchors in the Downs. The Princess Royal, contract mail packet, with the Hamburgh and Bremen mails, was obliged to put into Harwich and land the mails at that port; when off Southwold, on Tuesday morning, she fell in with the crew (nine seamen) of the Ondine, of Whitby, wrecked on Sizeweil Bank, and conveyed them and their boat to Harwich. Among the many disasters that occurred, a ship called the Elizabeth, Mr. Baynes, of Jersey, was wrecked on the Main, between St. Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown. It happened about eleven o'clock on Monday night. She was last from Halifax, and was bound for Havre with a cargo of , mahogany. She had almost reached her destination, when over taken by the storm and losing her sails, she was blown away past her part. The master for safety bore away into the downs, to escape from the fury of the storm, where, unfortunately, it increased tenfold, in the midst of which she drove ashore in the spot above mentioned. The masts were instantly cut away, and otber means taken to preserve the vessel from the wreck. This, how ever, was found to be impossible, and it was with great difficulty that the lives of the crew were saved. Much doubt exists es to any portion of the wreck being got off. In the course of the same night several vessels, though they had two chains out, were swept from their moorings, and were driven foul of others with great violence. Booms, bulwarks, &e., were carried away, and other mischief done. Upwards of a dozen ships lost their cables, spare, &c., and were nigh being driven ashore on the Goodwin. Off Dungeness, New Romney, and Rye four ves sels, named the Laurel, of Whitby, the Thomas and Ann from Dieppe, the Honoria, for London, and the William, from Liverpool, were cast ashore, and will become total wrecks. The crews were providentially saved by taking to the boats. Northward of the Thames, along the coast of Har wich, Aldborougb, Yarmouth, and Bridlington, no fewer than 30 coasting v e s se l s wer e dri ven ashore, where, up to the last post, they remained, without a chance of being got off. A brig named the Euphemia, belonging to Blake .ney, bound from Seaham to London, on Tuesday evening struck on the Snipwash Sand ; the gale blew her off into deep water, where she foundered. Un happily, some of her crew went down in her and pe rished ; the remainder took to the boats and were saved. Near the same spot, on the previous morning, a barque was seen by the coastguard at Aldborough to capsize and disappear almost immediately after wards. Not a soul was saved from her. On the Scroby Sand, near Yarmouth, the ship Alte Agent, belonging to Dantzic, from Shields, out ward bound for Venice, was wrecked the same night; the master and one Loy met with a watery grave. The rest, numbering 13, saved themselves by the boats. Nearly 200 sail took shelter in Bridlington Bay to escape the fury of the gale. The surf in the bay was vsoessgelrse.at Byas t t o he prevent post the entall communication was stated not to unicationwiththe have moderated. We also hear of a vessel being lost on the Battery Rocks, off Tynemouth, near North Shields. She is Captain Abbott, from called the John Wesley, Al derney. She struck about 9 o'clock on Tuesday night. The lifeboat was sent uut from the shore, and succeeded in taking the crew out of the wreck. In addition to the above list of disasters, several total losses have been reported at Lloyd's. In one instance many lives were lost. DUPLEX RUDDER AND SCREW PROPELLER. Under tha above title, Captain E. J. Carpenter, R.N., has patented an invention in the art of prop E i.. ling vessels by screw, which bids fair to constitute a new era in steam navigation. Vessels propelled by screw are, indeed, no longer a nove lty ; but the pe culiarity of Captain Carpenter's invention is, that two screws are made use of instead of one, which greatly increases the speed, while the ship is steered by two rudders, which in an equal degree increases the control obtained over her. In order to obtain these results, Captain Carpenter builds his vessels on a principle different from any that has hitherto been adopted. From the stem to the midships section the keel is laid down the same as in other vessels; but from the rnidships towards the stern the keel gradually tapers off till it i 3 lost in the water-line. But in place of this single keel, two new keels start from the midships, and are continued in parallel lines to the stern, the distance between them varying, of course, according to the size of the vessel. Each of these keels is fitted with a stern post and rudder, and between the keel and the S N, %...;; to tne common Orie screw peciptller is placed a litale in advance of the other, so as to allow both room to work, and yet so near the, when both are in action, they coreeieute in fat::: one pro peller with double power. The two rudders are so connected together, that they can be steered by one person as easily as the single rudder on the old . prin. eipl, while by a :slight alteration in the machinery, One of the screws or one of the rudders can be tie shippit at pleasure, and the vessel worked with one only. By this new principle the inventor calculates on obtaining not only an increase of speed which may obviously be expected frorn the double action of the screws, but also on having a greater control over the way of the vessel by the action of the &tibia rud der; and from experiments obtained from a working model, it appeared that a vessel constructed on this principle would tuen completely round in the space of her own length and a halt; while the Thames steam-boats usually require a circle the diameter of which is between five and six times the vessel's length, in which to turn completely round under si milar circumstances. The form of the vessel's stern also gets rid of all dead water, which has usually been a great impediment to the action of the screw; and the breadth of the vessel and stern, which is ren dered necessary by the double keel, gives an oppor tunity for imparting increased strength to that part of the ship where it is much wanted in a screw steam-vessel, at the same time that being propped up, as it were, on the two crutches of her double keel, she will be less likely to roll in the water. It should be stated that up to this time Captain Carpenter has had no opportunity of testing the prin ciple of his invention except by the action of a work ing model. But an opportunity has now occurred which will give him the means of showing the advan tages of his invention on a scale which will probably be admitted as decisive. Captain Leyland has com missioned a tender for his yacht to be built and fitted up on Captain Carpenter's principle, and the little vessel is now in course of construction at Mr. Green's building yard, at Orchard-house, Blackwall. At pre sent only the framework is laid dowr, so that all who are curious in these matters have an admirable opportu nity of seeing the skeleton, as it were, of the vessel, and of ascertaining for themselves not only the pecu liar shape of the vessel, but of the extraordinary strength which is capable of being imparted to ships built upon this principle, as well as the greater amount of stowage that is obtained compared with ships built on the ordinary principle. The vessel in question is 45 feet long between the perpen dicular, with a counter of eight feet six inches. The two keels are about 18 inches apart, and as the timbers on each side are brought down to these heels instead of meeting iu a point on the middle keel, they are tied together by transverse pieces of wood, which appear to give them a strength nearly double of what is obtained in the ordinary way. The screws are each 26 inches in diameter, and are to be worked by two engines of six.horse power each. The vessel is to be rigged as a schooner, for the screws can be removed at pleasure, and the tender used en tirely as a sailing vessel. She is expected to be ready for sea in about a fortnight, and when ready for sea will doubtless excite much attention among gentlemen interested in the principles of ship building and steam navigation.— Chronicle. L N N, r t, .Sw OUTRAGE ON MR. PAGET IN SA SONY The seizure of Mr. John Paget's papers and books by the police authorities of Dresden has been already noticed by several of our contemporarit a; We believe the following to be the correct version of the affair : " On the 2d of September Mr. Peget's house was entered by five policemen, who demanded the keys of his writing table, &c., threatening to force them open if refused. They proceeded to examine the house, the late ( u ! r i tne u , : .e l o i sl n uo g tfi 0 2 an 0 2 0 4i o sn r . 3 ,6 o l, o aur i ny t . t ak e r r ey s i and carried off every p ar ti c l e o f wr i t i ng they could n a d e u e l\ i r r i i l i S y ) co g t lilnep historyl e3,t(eqd:rf, four 1849, and a variety of oler papers, as well as 27 printed books. " Mr. Paget immediately communicated the affair to the Hon. Mr. Forbes, the British Minister to the Court of Saxony, who took the matter up very warmly, and at once banded in an official note to M. de Beust, Minister for Foreign Affairs, demanding an explanation of these arbitrary proceedings. M. de Beust declared that he knew nothing of the business, but would immediately inquire into it ; and the same answer was returned by the Minister for the Home Department. Mr. Forbes did not Fallow the matter to rest ; but it was not till the 9th of `September that M. de Beast informed him, unofficially, that Mr. Paget was asserted to have had at least one interview with M. Kossuth ; that he was suspected of having been a channel of communication between him and the malcontents in Hungary ; and that his papers had been seized in consequence. As Mr. Paget arrived in Dresden about the middle of August, 1851, and M. Kossuth did not reach London till three months later, and as the proof of this fact was in the hands of the Dresden police itself, with whom Mr. Paget's passport had been deposited, it was no difficult matter to set aside this allegation. " O wing to the continued absence of M. de Beust, it was not till the 19th that Mr. Forbes received an official answer to his note of the 2d, although he had repeatedly demanded it. This answer contained the avowal that the seizure of Mr. Paget's papers had been made in consequence of a communication from a foreign Government—of course the Austrian—in which the following statements are made Mr. Paget is described as having been an active agent of M. Kossuth during the revolution in Hun gary, and as having been intrusted with the most im portant missions. It is stated that after the revolu tion Mr. Paget escaped into Turkey with General Bem, and thence he repaired to London, where be resided till the arrival of Kossuth, at which epoch he established himself at Dresden. Further, that in his correspondence with the emigration he signed toimselr by a false name—John Paff, &c. " In consequence of this information Mr- Paget (continues the official note of M. de Beust) was sus pected of being, if not a member, at least an agent, o f the revolutionary committee; and the search was un dertaken in the hope of making discoveries; but that nothing having been found, the pe-pers bad been re. turned immediately. In spite of this assurance, the papers were not returned on the 233, when, after a conversation with Mr. Paget, Mr. Forbes officially denied, and characterised all these statements as fausses et controuvees ; and insisted on the immediate restoration of Mr. Paget's property. "On the 25th Mr. Paget was summoned to the police, and the whole of his papers and books restored.

" In the meantime, and before this demand had been transmitted to Mr. Forbes, Mr- Paget received a letter on the 270, in which Mr. Forbes informed hint that he had seen M. de Beast, who requested him to eenvey the expression of his regret at the delav which had occurred in returning the papers, a n d also at the inconvenience to which Mr. Paget had been put, at the same time assuring Mr. Forbes that the police had undertaken the search on their sole re sponsibility, and held been in consequence strongly reprimanded by the Minister of the Horne Depart ment."

THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS.—On Sunday afternoon the people of Egremont were a little surprised by the arrival of a body of about two hundred of the Latter-day Saints, chiefly women, many of whom were young, with a few of the elders or prophets. Coming up to the vans belonging to Mr. Chadderton, they took possession, as if for the ordinary pur pose of bathing. Whilst a portion of the females entered the vans, and whilst they were undressing,' those left on the shore commenced singing a hymn, and a considerable con course soon collected to witness their proceedings. lt was shortly discovered that their object was baptism by immer • sion, which was performed by the chief elder, attired in trousers reaching up to his middle, dipping the fair enthu siasts, one atter the other in the tide, as they presented o ti f i themselves, ctl es, vans. in Ti t t h e e c o o r u d g i r n e a g r a y ti b e l n ne ou fl ts a i n d n e e s l ar g jg o w d n u , ri a n t g T h e e doors mony.—Live7pool Times.

American Paper. FRIDAY _„ f EVENING, OCTOBER 8 I 850, NT 1, A ie-.1 ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. SOUTHAMPION, '..:IIIIESDAY, OCT. 7. The United States' mail steam-ship :Humboldt, Captain J. D. Lines, arrived cif Cowes just before noon to- day . , and, having landed the English mails and passengers, proceeded an her voyege to Havre. The Humboldt left New York on the 25th uit., and passed the following ships going into that port, viz., the Laze Webb, Frances P. Sage, Winchester, and Huguenot. On the 29th ult., off Cape Pine, at three Pelt, she saw the United States' mail steamer Atlan tic, from Liverpool, bound to New Yo. k. Tre Humboldt ban, 105 passengers for Havre and 15 for Southampton ; on freight 100,000 dolls. in American gold for Loudon, and 220,000 dolls. for Havre. The screw steamer City of Glasgow arrived at Philadelphia on the 224 ult. from Liverpool, in less than 14 days. The .Neez York papers are chiefly occupied with questions of dcmcstic politics, the war of General Scott and the epproachieg presidential contest. The Whig State Convention at Syracuse has re nominated Washington Hunt for Governor, and Judge Kent for Lietat‘nant-Governor. The yellow fever prevailed extensively at Charleston. The National Intelligencer of September 24th gives the following s.ccount of the of reception of the new Peruvian Minister by President Fill more. The reply of the President to the speech of the Peruvian Minister affords an additional proof that the friedly relations existing between the two Re publics will not be disturbed : "We learn that Senor Don Jotequim Jose do Lena was yesterday introduced to the President by Mr. Con rad, the Acing Secretary of State, and presented his credentials is Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the Republic of Peru, ;and made the fol lowing remarks ou the occasion : " Str,---The President of Peru has been phased to ap point me his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary to your Government, and, in delivering into your hands the letter which accredits me in that cha racter, I am directed to express the sincere wishes which animate the Government and people of Peru to preserve undisturbed - the friendly relations which have existed since the declaration of her independence between that republic and the United States, and the confidence they feel that any difficulty which might appear to jeopardize them will be removed when examined with the impar tiality and wisdom which distinguish your Government, and with the elevation sad integrity of your personal character, which the whole world acknowledges, and which place you in a prominent Position among the suc cessors ut the illustrious Washington. For my own part, I will not spare an y means to maintain the good under standing between both Governments; and, having had on a former occasion the honour to till here the same station which I now come to occupy, I will only endea vour to deserve from your Government the same con siderations which were then dispensed to me, and which have deeply impreased me with feelings of gratitude, of high esteem for your country, and of profcued admi ration for your institutions." To which the President replied as follows I am happy, Sir, to welcome you back to Wash ington as the envoy of the Peruvian Government. The favourable impression which you made during your pre vious mission, both upon our citizens and upon this Go vernment, makes your present visit the more acceptable. We have long cherished a lively r egar d f ur our sister republics in South America, and for none do we enter tai,, a higher appreciation than f or P eru; and I trust there is nothing to the present relations of the two countries c dculat,d to disturb that harmony which has hitherto existed between therm The maxim of this Government is, universal and exact justice to all, and it will never knowingly do any act by which the rights of another nation, and particularly those of a sister re public, will be invaded. Believing that no seriou and lasting diff,,reLce , of opinion can exi s t b etween two countr i e s both of which only seek to do right, I hail your advent among us as furnishing a renewed essur ance that the thee is far distant when the fri en dl y rela• lions between Peru and the United States can be dis turbed. Icm gratified to perceive by your letter of credence that you are fully authorized by your Govern ment to negotiate iu reference to all matters of difference between the two countries. Anxious only to establi s h such relations as may be mutually beneficial, I cannot doubt that any negotiation must result in the adoption of measures calculated to promote the harmony and in crease the commercial intercourse between the two re publics."' On the Occasion of this interview, the New York Herald drily remarks : The speech of the now diplomatist indicates that there will he no difficulty in settling the guano dispute to the satisfaction of everybody, except those who have already gone to fill their vessels with it free of expense." Commander Francisco Ignacio de Carvalho Mo reira, the newly-accredited Brazilian Minister, also had audience of the President on the 21st ult., to ' present his credentials, upon which occasion, after the neual complimentary address from the Minister, the President replied as follows : " Z am happy, Sir, to receive you, as the Represen tative of his alujesty the Emperor of Brazil. The very Mall character which your illustrious Sovereign has been pleased to give you in his letter of credence in sp:res a confidence that makes you a welcome addition to the diplomatic body accredited to this Government. Brazil covers a large extent of territory in South Ame rica, and ei e have, and are always likely to have, com mercial relations with her of great and increasing im portance. I receive, therefore, with peculiar satisfaction the kind and fraternal expressions of friendship which Your august Sovereign has been pleased to express towards me and my country, an d I can assure you t h at his sentiments are by me most cordially and unre.• servedly reciprocated. This Government can be ani mated by no other desire towards your country than that of maintaing the most amicable commercial rela tions, mutually beneficial to the inhabitants of both; and I feel the fullest confidence that you will co-operate with me in the promotion of all measures calculated to main tain peace and harmony between the two countries, and to promote their common welfare." The Herald gives the subjoined in reference tc later news which has been received from Havannah : "Intelligence from Savannah, to the 19th inst., pur porting to come by telegraph from New Orleans, was made public yesterday. This news differs but little in its main features from that hitherto brought eo this city by the steamer Crescent City. The New Orleans di, patch states that ' a council of war was to be held on the 23d, for the trial of the eleven persons con cerned in the publication of the Voice of the People.' No w , a c cor di ng to our prev i ous i n f ormat ion, these persons were tried, convicted, and sentenced on the 13th. Three of them were to be garotted—two of whom, very fortunately for themselves, had escaped and were beyond the reach of the Spanish authorities—and the other eight were to be banished to the island of Ceuta. It is likewise reported that 1,200 stand of arms had be e n l an d e d by th e revo l ut i on i sts, 200 o f which were seized by the Government, and the remainder were secreted in the mountains by the country people. Troops had been etationed in all parts of the island; arrests were daily being made of every person suspected of entertaining filioustero sentiments; sill American newspapers, without xeeption, were prohibited, and the most vigorous exertions were still making to suppress any attempt at insurrection. The war steamer Pizarro, which got aground in chasing a suspicious vessel, had proved a total loss. It is also stated that the officers of the Empire City, which vessel brought this news, were very politely treated by the Spanish authorities—the latter having very probably learned a little wisdom from the late intercourse with Captain Porter, whose purser they attempted to place under the surveillance of their police. We shall doubtless he.ve full particulars in a day or two." NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. His Grace Rear-Admiral the Duke of Northum berland has returned to the Admiralty from Alnwick Castle. APPOINTMENTS.

Woolwich gossip states that the Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, C. 13., will be paid off on the 9th. We have reason to believe, however, that the 13th will be the thy for hauling down the pendant. Ajax, 58, screw guard-ship, Captain Quin, has been paid wages to six months. Archer, 14, screw steam. sloop, Commander Strange, will be inspected by the Commander-in- Chief at Spithead this day, and afterwards go into harbour. Leander, 50, Captain G. St. V.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 7.—The Hercules, Commander Benjamin Boynton, vissed Woolwich 3esterday after noon, on her way to Blackwell, to embark emigrants for Australia. In the Neu , York Herald we find the following de scription of the United States' steam-frigate Pow hattan The \V asp-steam-sloop, Commander Lord John Hay, and the Niger steam-sloop, Commander Leopold G. Heath, are to proceed to the Mediterranean, to relieve the Scourge paddle-wheel stectu-sloop, Com mander Lord Frederick H.

" This vessel, which lately arrived here from Norfolk, en route for the Mediterranean, is a new one, having just been completed at Norfolk, Virginia. The Susque hanna, now in the East Indies, and herself have similar external dimensions of hulls, areas of midship s miens, diameter of cylinders, areas of fire surfaces, &c. Their models, however, in their lines and the details of their engines and boilers, are very different. A reference to the following dimensions will show them to be the largest naval side-wheel frigates yet built in any country : Feet. In.

Grecian, 12, Commander Hon. B. D. Beane, w as cruising; Penguin, 6, and Commander Etheridge, and Dart, 3, tender, were cruising —all but the first in the Moz:mbique. A Cape paper says :—" We understerl that Com mander Beigrave, of the Hydra, is unable, from the state of his health, to continue in the command of that vesFel, and that he will in consequence return shortly to England. Lieutenant Endor, first lieutenant of the Styx, is, it is said, to be 4 appointed to command the Hydra."

In noticing naval affairs, the Courier and Enquirer states that— " The line-of battle ship Pennsylvania, which cost 800,000 dollars, launched at Philadelphia in 1837, we learn inAn the Norfolk papers, is now lying at the navy yard at that place, and ha s recen t ly been converted into a ball-room fur the entertainment of the iflicers in that station. She is the largest and most costly ship (f the line in our navy, carrying 140 guns, and the only voyage she ever made was from Plelndelphiii to Norfolk. A correspondent of the L'tica Gazette, writing from . Nor folk, Sept. 10, says that the narrow inlet , which is her present quarters, not allowing her to swing at anchor with the tide, and exposing con:lantly the came side to, the sun, her timbers have decayed, and would require an immense outlay to rt place. The sand has formed bars a round her, the oysters taken up their beds b..aide her, nd . tatened her to the bottom; and if s h e ever moves g van it will be done by carrying the country with her."

FINE ARTS. MR. AIATTHE iV NOBLE'S BUST OF WELLINGTON. Among the countless effigies of the late illustrious Duke of Wellington that have been recently pro duced, or brought to light from the obscurity in which they have lain for many years, to meet the demand occasioned by his Grace's lamented decease, there are none to compare for truthfulness of resemblance with the haroic bust in marble recently completed by Mr. Noble, of Berkeley-chambers, Bruton-street. To this work a peculiar interest is attached, from the fact of its being the last portrait for which the Duke sat to any artist—the sittings having been given only a few months prior to his death. Eminently successful for its simple grandeur and the elevated feeling with which it is imbued, Mr. Noble's bust challenges comparison with every other representation of the original for its literal correctness and startling vrai semblance. The modelling of the features has been executed with the nicest appreciation of the speciality of the subject. Nollekens and Obantrey excelled in delineating the peculiarity of surface on the face of age, but it may be safely asserted that Mr. Noble is in this instance in no respect their inferior. He has also escaped the tendency to exaggerate and carica ture the features of the Duke, a fault so observable in the majority of the Wellington statues and pictures from the equestrian monstrosity at Hyde -park-corner downwards. From whatever point it is studied, whether in ensemble or in minute detail, the effect of the boat is equally correct and satisfactory. Nothing of en accessorial kind has been introduced in a manner to detract from the impressiveness of the massive and intelligently reflective head. The breast of the hero is decorated with a simple medal—a military cloak falls over his shoulders, end the identity of the like ness is aided by the introduction of the rigid cravat which is managed with the utmost taste. Indeed the difficulties connected with the sculptural treatment of modern costume are admirably surmounted, and the eye of the observer reposes with undivided attention on the familiar features of the Hero Duke. It was Puseli, we think, who, while gazing on a fine statueby a con temporary sculptor, exclaimed to the gratified pro ducer of two work, " You have cutaway all the marble and left the man ! " The compliment was neatly paid and may be appropriately applied to Mr. Noble is reference to the bust under notice. He has been evi dently inspired by the importance of his subject, and in saying that he has worthily succeeded we award him the highest praise. The public have not been backward in their appreciation of Mr. Noble's suc cess, for his rooms are daily crowded by visitors of rank end fashion, to the credit of whom it may be stated that he has received commissions for upwards of a hundred copies of !‘ the Duke's" bust in marble and plaster. Mr. Noble, it will be remembered, was the successful competitor for three of the "Peel" statues, two of which, in bronze of colossal dimen sions, have been recently erected in Tamworth and Salford—the third, is marble, will be placed in St. George's Hall, Liverpool. The model of this, together with many other of the sculptor's works, may be seen at his studio in Bruton-street. ------ - HAYMARKET THEATRE. Rolcroft's comedy of the Road to Ruin was pro duced here last night, and Miss Rosa Bennett, a young actress, new to the London stage, appeared in the character of Sophia. Her debiit was most suc cessful. She is a pretty young woman, somewhat under the middle stature, with a light figure, ani• mated and expressive_ features, and a musical voice. Her reading of the part was admirable, and by no means common. Many clever actresses have made Sophia an awkward, vulgar hoyden—such a person as an accomplished gentleman could not, possibly fall in love with. bliss Bennett has seen the absurdity of this, and has represented Sophia as being, what the author certainly intended—a simple, innocent girl, brought up in retirement, and ignorant of the world—quite a child of nature, but at the same time gifted by nature with modesty, grace, and delicacy. Miss Bennett thus made Harry Dornton's passion for Sophia appear the un..st natural thing in the world, and her intelligent conception and cuarining performance of the cha racter removed any objection to the play on the score of probability. She was warmly applauded in every scene; and when she appeared before the curtain at the end of the play she was loudly and repeatedly cheered from every part of the house. The play al together was very pleasantly acted. Mr. Leigh Murray's Harry Dornton was a feeling and manly performance ; Mr. Wigan's Goldfinch was full of vivacity, though occasionally somewhat extravagant, and verging on farce; and Mrs. Selby was a capital Widow Warren. Mr. Stuart as Mr. Dornton, Mr. Rogers as Sulky, and Mr. Lambert es Silky, sus tained their parts with good sense and propriety, The house was well filled. QUEENS 3tO YAL THEATRE. Tne admirers of dramatic entertainment who pa ronise this theatre have certainly no reason to com plain of any want of variety in its performances. The public are not allowed to tire of any single represen tation, but a constant succession of novelties are pro duced, all admirable of ?heir kind and well calculated to ensure the gratification and amusement of the crowded audiences that nightly frequent this de servedly popular place of amusement. On Saturday evening were produced the romantic drama of 2Lionte Christ°, and the ineenifieent burlesque extravaganza of The Enchanted Wives. The former piece (as may be gathered from it, title) is a dramatic edapla tion of Dumas' gorgeous romance, "Le Chateau D'lf." The main inciden:s upon which the inte rest of this extreordinary work turns have been brought together and closely wrought up, so as to constitute a drama of deep interest. The amusing interlude of the Spitalfields Weaver, requires some notice at our hands, as introducing to the witty and laughter-loving audience of the Queen's a new candidate for their smiles in the per son of Mr. J. L. Toole, who has proved himself a successful aspirant to the highest honours of mimetic art, and as a low comedian of undoubted talent has won for himself the decided and most flattering en comiums of the London press. His recent success at the Haymarket Theatre is spoken of as a perfect triumph, and his reception by a Dublin audience on Saturday evening would seem to ratify and confirm the admiring approval accorded to his comic perform ances by our Cockney neighbours. Mr. Toole, whose unmistakably Irish patronymic, as well as his racy vein of comic humour, seem to distinguish him as a son of the Emerald sod, has rendered himself eminent as a reconteur and utterer of good things amidst the social circles of London life. He is the son of Mr. Toole, long known and appreciated in London and its vicinity as " The Toast Master," one whose gifts as an entertainer of company, whose capabilities as a " master of revels," and whose sparkling wit and viva cious merriment as "lord of merry misrule," have ren dered his presence an indispensable requisite amongst a thousand circles where wealth is more rife than wit, and where the flashing repartees, and redundant anecdote, and spirit-stirring "chansons au boire+," of the veteran Toast Master have been ever prized and welcome accessories to the intellectual attraction of many a costly banquet. Mr. Toole appeared as Simmons, the hero of the piece called the Spitalfields Weaver. His dressing of the part was in itself comic in the extreme, and his acting was such as to indicate a high degree of comic talent. The various ludicrous contretemps incidental to Simmons's introduction into polite society—in short, the blunders of a Cockney Paul Doherty—brought out Mr. Toole in a line of performance which seem to be his forte. He was enthusiastically applauded. In the last scene Mr. Toole favoured the audience with one of those reci tations a la Charles Mathews, entitled " The County Election," in which he evinced a wondrous power of vocal inflexion in imitating various characters, and displayed a high development of mimic talent ; but we must remind this clever aspirant that even a farce has, or ought to have, its unities, and such a display of mimetic power would have come better by itself. However, the audience were delighted, and Mr. Toole having been enthusiastically applauded before the curtain, took occasion to thank the audience for the kind reception accorded to him. The entertain ments will be repeated this evening, and Mr. Toole will appear again as Simmons in the Spitalfields Weaver.—Dublin Freeman's Journal, Oct. 4. ARGYLL ROOMS. The winter campaign has commenced in earnest at this favourite salle de danse, and now that the cold weather has set in we Suppose tripping on the light fantastic toe will be the order of the day, or rather of the night. That there is still a rage for dancing in the metropolis there cannot be a doubt; and, although our continental allies may take credit for being the #rst to develop the spirit of the art, it may fairly be questioned whether they can boast of more elegant ballrooms, and more passionate votaries of Terpsi chore, than are to be found in the realms of phlegmatic John Bull. Certainly the Argyll Rooms stand unequalled, either at home or abroad, for the beauty of the decorations, the propriety of manage ment, or the perfection of the orchestra; and so long as those excellences exist there will be no lick of public support. During a brief recess, which recently took place, sufficient time was found to redecorate the rooms, and it is due to Mr. G. F. Bryer, the deco rator, to state that be seems to have surpassed all his previous efforts in that respect. There is nothing extravagant about the embelishments, but, on the contrary, the colouring of the walls is both chaste and harmonious, w hil e the galleries are furnished i n a manner that blends elegance with comfort, an aim which should never be lost sight of in fitting up a large asseroblY•room lilt© this. N or s h ou ld i t be forgotten that Ad. Laurent, jun., the composer of some of our choicest dance music, is still in possession of ,the• orchestra, and the leader of one of the best quadrille bands to be found in the metropolis. In deed it is complete in every departmenr, and one effict of this gathering together of a compact body of &lased i nstrumentalists may be seen in the new school of composers, where prize quadrilles, polkas, and waltzes were so much in vogue last season. Oa the whole, then, the Argyll Rooms sustains its well-established reputation, as being the most po pular and agreeable evening lounge in the West•endi and long may it remain so is the wish, no doubt, of its habitues. FATAL FL OOD ACCIDENT.--Yeaterday evenin g we earned from Mr. Goodman, butcher (who has just returned from Hailsham Market), the following details of some me lancholy accidents caused by the floods:—Charles Munn, of Robertsbridge, butcher, and who, like most butchers in the country, uses some land, had a considerable quantity of stock in the Brooks; and seeing the water begin to rise on Monday evening, he ordered his boy to go out and bring the stock into the yard. The boy waded up to his waist in the water, and then returned and tad his master that he could not reach them. Mr. Morn then told his man to take the mare, and fetch in the stock; but the man also returned, and what sa l can do," e id the mar said woulMr.d not enter the water. "I will try and, having properly Munn a ccoutred himself, he mounted th e mare, and carrying a lantern (it was then 8 o'clock) he proceeded on his errand, followed by the men. Mr. Munn urged the mare forward into the flood, the man remaining on the verge. Presently, the lantern disappeared ; and as no answer was returned to his shouts, the man returned home and reported what had occurred. Presently, the mare returned home wihout arider, and an alarm was then felt in the family. Search was made all night; but nothing was found except the cape which Mr. Munn had taken out with him. In the morning his body was found, of course drowned. The flood carried off upwards of 250 head of stock, 70 of them belonging totlrs. Hyland, of Burwash.- - Brighton- Gazette.

Witness some time after wards visited deceased, and always found him hungry and without food. He was so exhausted that he could not move out of bed. The room had not a 1 a 'tide of fur niture in it. She had seen the mother intoxicated, and send things to pledge, since her confinement. Oa Friday her (witness's) bueband, seeing the mother go cut to the pawnbroker'e, desired her to take the chil dren some food, es he was sure they were starving. She availed herself of the mother's absence, and took them food, whi c h they seized, end voraciously at e . One child was wholly naked, and the others were all but naked, and covered with filth. By a Juror—lt is a frightful fact that all the chil dren in the neighbourhood are allowed to go in a state of semi-nudity. Margaret Dunkirk, a lodger in the same house, corroborated the previous witness. Isabella Shoobert, the mother, a wretched, naked, half-started creature, said that Upon awakin g on Sunday morning she saw deceased looking queer, and called her husband, but deceased soon afterwards expired. He was stupid and ill from his birth, and she had to feed him on tops and bottoms. Herself, husband, and seven children slept on one bedstead. Deceased fell out of bed three weeks ago. She had buried two other children. Although her husband earned 233. a weds the could not support her family. She had never applied for re;ief to the workhouse. She had not eaten anything that day, ncr had she had a penny for the last three weeks, as her husband gave her no money. She could not bring the baby with her, for it was naked. Her children were without food, but shs di.] not know how to apply to the work house.

It was only lately that his wife took to drink. He never saw his children from eight, A.M., to seven, P.M., when he returned from work. lle did not observe deceased wasting away, as it was a puny child from birth. Foreman—l am astonished at your lying down on your bed knowing that your children were starving. You must be deprived of all feeling. Mr. Josephs, surgeon—All the children were filthy, naked, and starving. The infant would soon die the same death as the deceased, unless the paro chial authorities interfered. He made a post mortem examination of deceased. The body weighed Gibs. lloz., and was only skin and bone. It had neither fat nor muscle. The stomach and intestines were contracted and devoid of food. In all other respects the body was healthy. Deceased died from exhaustion, produced by the want of nourishment. Mr. Josephs concluded his evidence by calling upon the jury to request the parochial authorities to remove the sur viving children to the workhouse, as otherwise they would be starved to death. The COTLONEE, having summed up at great length, the jury returned the following verdict :—" Deceased died from exhaustion, produced by the want of nourishment ;" to which finding the jury appended a censure upon the parents. The Coroner then called in the wretched parent?, and havave cautioned them as to their future conduct respecting their children, told them they narrowly escaped a charge of man slaughter, which verdict would have been returned had culpable neglect been fully proved. The jury further requested the Coroner to forward, without delay, to the parochial authorities the whole history of the horrible case, so that the other children might he instantly looked after and teken care of. The Coroner promised compliance with the request, and the court was then broken up. cAsis . T e . ,Lir. '...131; • an le • llhus. .

Mr. G. Lyall, the deputy-governor, presided. The report, which was exceedingly long, set forth the claims of the company on the Government, the engagements entered into with the Canterbury Asso ciation, and the current expenses and other liabilities outstanding. On each of these heads the directors lamented that they were unable to make a satisfactory report. The Government had not yet settled one portion of the company's demands, and had settled the other in a measure short of the company's equitable claims. With the Canterbury Association the com pany is still in litigation. Out of the sums received from Canterbury during the past financial Sear, amounting to 11,1931. Os. Gd., a sum of 662/. 14s. sd. has been paid to the Government ; and the debenture for 10,0001., bor rowed from the Baron de Goldsmid, has been paid off, but the interest on this debenture is still unpaid. For the bills held by the Union Bank of Australia, drawn on account of the Canterbury settlement, and amount ing to 14,987/. Gs. 2d., exclusive of interest, 26 mem bers of the company have given, as collateral security, their personal promissory notes, to the amount of 14,4601., falling due on the Ist of next December. Before that date effective provision for meeting the Raid notes must be made. For such provision, failing every other resource, the directors will be compelled to make aCell upon the unpaid.up capital of the company. The °flocr outstanding liabilities, as stated iu the annual accounts, mount to 4 057/. 41. 2d., exclusive of the sum of 5561. 1 ls. 41., con• sidered to be chargeable to the Government, but as yet not admitted by the latter. Against these can be placed, at present, only such portions of the sums above mentioned as may be applied to the liabi lities incurred on account of Canterbury, and such sums as may be eventually allowed by the Govern ment towards the expenses incurred by the company between the sth July, 1850, and the 30:h September, 18.51, the latest date recognised by the Lords of the Treasury. This is one of the questions before alluded to as being not y e t fi na ll y a dj us ted. Sir halph Howard and L o rd C ourtens y had resigned their seats in the direction. Mr. Gowen, Mr. Filcher, and the Baron de Goldsmid went out of oflice by rotation. After considerable discussion the report w as adopted, and it was agreed that an adjuurntd meeting should be held on a future day fur the purpose of going into sonic business details. Mr. Jeremiah Filcher and Mr. Gowen, the retiring directors, were unanimously re- e l ecte d , and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
