FRAN CB. Tt is thought likely that the electors will be con. voked from the 21st November 0 vote ; anl the Le islative Corp sual mone 1 fJr the 28th, to count the lotes. In such case there would be nothing to pre vent the proclamation of the Empire on the 22 December. It is remarked that the flag which used to flo It on the central pavilion of the Tuileries has on one or two occasions been hoisted when the President enters the Palace, and houled down when he quits it. Tne signatures to the petitions and addresses, de manding the establishment of the Empire, are now completed from th© department of the Marine; they are said to amount to 70,466, or several thousands more than at the election of the 10th of December. Rumoifrs are again afloat of a Ministerial modifi cation. General d'Hautpoul to be the new Minister at War, General de St. Arnaud going to Algeria as Governor-General; M. de Horny, Minister of the Interior; M. de Persignv, Minister of State; and, as a matter of course, M. Fould, Minister of Finance. The following particulars respecting the escape of a batch of French political prisoners from Cayenne are given in the Independence of Brussels : " We have receivea from Paramaribo, the chief town of Dutch Guyana, under date of September 20, a, let ter signed Rtboult a and of which we cannot guar antee the exactitude, as the signature is completely unknown to us; but the facts that it contains ap pear to us to be of sufficient interest to be com municated to our readers. The facts are as fol lows: —Twelve persons transported for political of fences in the affair of the 2d December, to the island of French Guyana, called file de la Meire, resolved to attempt to recover their liberty. On the Bth of September, at m idnight, after the inspection, each of them, provided with a small bundle containing a few clothes and a little bread, went to a spot agreed upon on the shore. Four boats, not guarded, were moored at a short distance from the shore. They swam towards them, an d getting into one they cut the others adrift in order to remove the means of pursuit. With out chart or compass, they ventured thus upon the wean . For twenty-four hours they proceeded, under a burning sun, and in the midst of the greatest peril, without a drop of water to quench their thirst. In passing sear the Safety Islands they were perceived, and were * teased for five hours. The night cam© on, and the breakers i n the midst of which they were obliged to navigate, did not permit their pursuers to come up with them. It may be said, therefore, that they were saved by the very danger that they risked. A few hours afterwards they struck upon a sand bank, and but for a high wind that came on with the tide, they would not perhaps have been able to get clear of the bank. On the fol lowing day they were again chased near Sinamary. They succeeded at length in reaching a Dutch port called Brandewacht. At first they were taken for escaped convicts, but they succeeded in making their real posi tion known. The commandant, who is of French ori gin, then procured for them all the assistance in his power. After passing three days with this excellent man, they were sent to Paramaribo, where they were in the first instance put into prison, but subsequently put on board the Dutch vessel the Fielding, and 48 hours afterwards they had permission to land. It is from this town, as we have stated, that the letter has been addressed to us by one of the persons who escaped, and we should give it if it were only to tranquillize the families of the persons whose names are subjoined. The author of the letter speaks in high terms of the kindness which he and his companions received from the Dutch officers. They hope that they will not be given up to the French Go verument; the letter even says that they have received the assurance of the contrary in the name of the Dutch Government. The presence in the road-stead of Para maribo of the French steamer the Voyageur inspir ed, however, 901119 uneasiness, and they had com municated their position to the English authori ties at Demerara, and also to those of the United States. Such ore the facts communicated to us, and of which, we repeat, wo cannot guarantee the exac titude. The letter, besides, gives the names and pro fesions of the twelve persons who made their escape, Bud also the departments to which they belonged. They are as follow:—S. Riboulet, professor (Jura); J. lleusse, znerceont (Paris); J. Biolet, landowner (Allier); G. Billiard, do. (Allier); Lemaitre, founder (Nsvre); A. Tournaire, bootmaker (Ardeche); J. Brulat, watchmaker (Busses-Alpes); Fh, bliaillr, seaman (Vaucluse); L. Cadette, do. (Marseille); J. Barthelemy, baker (Basses- Alps); Siol, coackmaker (Ardeehe.)" MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of Saturday.) will be by far the finest thing ot the kind in England. The portion of it for which contracts have been com pleted, and which we believe embraces only the first row of terraces, is to cost 50,0001. Sir Joseph Paxton, in his plan of the grounds, has judiciously preserved the same scale of proportions as in the architecture of the building, every dimension being a multiple of eight feet. Harmony of combination is thus greatly promoted, while, to show that effect will not be sacrificed, his grand ap proach and terrace walk will be 96 feet wide, the general ones 48 feet, and none less than 24 feet. The Italian garden will gradually merge into a less artificial and more English, but still ornate style, the natural lay of the land being less interfere i with, and the object being to lead the eye agreeably and gently off to the survey of the surrounding landscape. Over the whole will extend a a system of fountains nearly five times as extensive as those of Versailles on grand days There will be every kind of ornamental device known in works of this sort, and all carried out on the most splendid scale. While the grounds become more elaborately dressed as they approach the building, the fountains become more nu merous, varied, and wonderful as they recede from i'. Supplied from great reservoirs placed on the summits of huge towers, 256 feet high, at either end of the building, the waters will first be seen as cascades tumbling through the arches of the first terrace on the right and left of the grand central archway. As they descend, instead of passing beneath, they will appear to bound over the archways of the lowest terrace, so that visitors may walk under them as at Niagara. On each side of the principal approach they will hurry along in roaring cataracts or rapids, filling innumerable tazza shaped fountains in their way, and at last terminating far down in the park in two large basins, each 3801 t. broad, in tte centre of which will be formed pyramidal fountains of about 180 jets, the largest throwing water to the height of 230 feet—dancing fountains around these, four in number, rising 130 feet, and outside of them, again 16 others, going 90 feet high. There is nothing ot the kind in the world at all approaching in magnificence the display of waterworks contemplated by the plans at this point. The two basins and connecting lobes on either side of the main approach will be from end to end 2,000 feet long ; and when this is shown the full power of a supply ot 2,000 gallons per second will be put in re quisition. Sir Joseph Paxton says that his two great Pyramid Fountains will play twice as long as the " Chanties Emirs" at Versailles. For ordinary occasions ' the display will not extend so far down, but will termi nate at the foot of the terraced garden in a splendid fountain, with no immense basin, which is now in rut:- coca of formation, and round the edge of which it is intended that water should flow continuously in a gigantic bell-shape. The terraced garden will also have eight or nine other fountains, varied in their form ; and while the lower grounds aft) laid out with illustrations of the wonders of geology, in connected series above we shall have fine statues in Carrara marble, and the bril liant colouring of the 11 swers. To show the scale on which this last mentioned species of embellishment is to bo carried out, it may be mentioned that 50,000 scarlet geraniums have been ordered. These details may help one to conceive what the Crystal Palace Park will be when completed ; and now to give some account of the interior arrangements of the building which are substantially settled, and may, therefore, be with confidence prospectively described. The only important addition to the architectural design since our last notice aro the lofty towers at either end, already alluded to, and which are to be 5G feet higher than the centre transept. They aro to consist of 10 storeys or landings, from each of which magnificent views will he obtained, while it is expected that from the summits which are to be reached by spiral stair cases, the sea will be visible. The idea of having grand cascades from the tops of these towers has been aban doned. The ground plan of the interior of course resem bles a good deal in its main features that of the building in Hyde-park, but the distribution into courts has been more followed in the errangement of the space, and there being no foreign countries to find room for, the company have been able to deal freely with the whole area as they thought best for the general effect. In the nave they intend to have ornamental basins fed by fountains, statues, specimens of architecture, and colossal sculp ture ; as, for instanse, Cleopatra's Needle, which there is some reason to hope they may be able to secure. Hero, too, at the sides, and occupying each extremity, will ho arranged the plants which arc to form the winter gar den and conservatory, the interest of tho collection being increased by an E xhibition of rare birds. Behind, and seen on either hand through a brilliant vegetation, will be placed—on the south side of the main transept— the choicest specimens of textile fabrics, hardware, minerals, &a.; on the north side a magnificent series of -architectural reproductions, illustrating the different schools of art from the earliest periods, and arranged in chronological sequence. Wo shall be able to feast our eyes upon the chiet masterpieces of by-gone ages, from the times of the Assyrian Empire downwards, through. the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Norman, Me dimval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, French, Flemish, Ita lian, and all revived classical styles. As an example of the manner iu which the succession of courts dedicated to this purpose are to be fitted up, it may not be out of place to describe the proposed decorations of the Assy rian Hall, under the superintendence of Dr. Layard and Mr. Fergusson. The grand façade of this hall, which will be about 100 feet by 26 feet, will be a restoration of one of the principal entrances of the Palace of Khor sabad, and on either side of its chief portals will stand a colossal bull, 19 feet high, with a human head and wings. On either side of the advanced pylons will ho placed back to back two bulls resembling the others, and 15 feet high. At one end of the hall will be a doer way entering into the nave, with casts of the two collossal human-headed and winged lions, 16 feet high, which Layard brought from Nim road. On the side walls, between the pylons and the end of the facade, will be bas-relies of Assyrian deities and kings and ministering priests, about 10 feet high. Th 3 walls of the interior, to about half their height, will be covered with scenes representing battles, sieges and triumphs, religious ceremonies and the chase. These will be cast from the most interesting Assyrian sculptures in the British Museum and the Louvre, or modelled from the works of Dr Layard and M. Botta, and will portray many of the most remarkable events in the reigns of Shalmaneser, Sennacherib, and other great kings. It is quite unnecessary to dilate upon the mag nificent effect which such renovations, carried down with the tide of civilisation from race to race and from ago to age, must possess; but the public may be fairly con gratulated on the prospect now held out that the chief relics of the mighty past are at length to ho arrayed in due order before the million, and, instead of being buried in museums, will be made to show intelligibly the genius that inspired them and the conditions of society which they illustrate. To render this department of the new Palace as perfect as possible, Owen Jones and Digby Wyatt have been making a tour of the Continent, with full powers to collect the finest illustrations of ancient and modern art that they can obtain. With one excep tion, everywhere in France and Italy they have had the greatest facilities liberally afforded to them; and they report to the board, on quitting the latter country, that they have effected contracts for 1,472 objects. At Naples alone have Messrs Wyatt and Jones met with any difficulty. They had set their hearts upon Obtaining there casts of some of the most interesting objects in the Museo Borbonico, and s.lso at Pompeii; but the authorities, probably ill-informed as to the pur pose of their mission, met them with a refusal. The Ethnological pany acollection i curiosities department is progressing sa tisfactorily. Dr. • iem t bit h s as of offered theAfric s promised illustrating th the co t rt he habits 2 0 tribes, and Major Codringe n 0 display of Indian armour. In the zoological sect i e a the arrangements are also well advanced.

(From the Lccds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS, UcT 22.—The imports of wool into London dating the week ending today were only 210 bales, of which 93 were from Antwerp, 64 from the Cape of Good Hope, 47 from Germany, cod 31 from Spain. In the Leeds tin:rk , -t sties in both foreign and colonial wools have only tesen effected to a limited extent during the pest week. Die improved rates hitherto obtained at the present Eeries cif sales in London base tended to give in created firmness to prices here. The woollen cloth market continues b foyant and brisk. There was a very geed business done,in the cloth halls both on Saturday and Tuesday. Nearly all kinds of cloths of a saleable description were easily disposed of ; witneys and other heavy goods, saleable Ibprtoene3. `There winter trade, met with ri ready purchasers at good rehavo also sortie been th considerable deli ver i es direct s o warehouses ; a ltogether a very excellent busin ess has been done during the week in black cloths. The reasons we assigned last week as the principal cause of the increased activity in the cloth halls have no doubt continued their influence, Wool has not only maintained the advnce of last Thurday, but has gone even a s h a d e h i gher.; perhaps 14,1 per lb. may DOW be quoted as the average advan ce on lost sales. The au tumn trade is g e nerally considered to be drawing to a close at this period of the year. Per. haps there has not been q uite so brisk a business done this week iu the warehouses, but still a fair home trade generally is doing. LIVERPOOL WOOL IVLARKETO Oct. 21.—An active de mand for wools at full prices. Considerable quantities of Cordova and Mogadore are being shipped from here to the United States. Imports the past week — Lisbon ' o7 l i Oporto 343, Trieste 36, and Gibraltar 78 bags. _ :ILDRORD MARKET, Thursday.—There was little of novelty an the market.

Contracts are being entered into for the construction of masses of rock on a large scale in the open air, whereby pi?,turesque effects will be produced without the violation of geological facts and laws, and this section of the Na tural History department will prove extremely attractive from the restoration of colossal extinct animals which will accompany it. Among the curiosities thus ex hibited will be working models of the mastodon, the glyptodon, the mylodon, the ichthyosaurus, and the plesiosaurus; and if these do not astonish and amuse the ' multitude we shall despair of the fame of such me❑ as Professor O ven and Guvier. The Raw Produce Col lection is attracting great attention, especially in Liver pool, where the directors have secured the aid of Mr. Archer, who exhibited i❑ Hyde-park the remarkable and complete illustration of imports at that port. With regard to the space set apart for exhibitors, Mr. Belshaw who is especially charged with the direction of it, has just returned from a visit to the principal seats of our manufacturing industry, and his inquiries go to prove that the company may expect to realize a large annual income from the letting of stalls. In describing the in terior arrangements of the building two other points remain to be noticed. The first relates to the disposal of the machinery, which is to be placed in an extensive basement story formed by the rapid fall of the site for the building towards the park. Thus a very convenient arrangement is affected, at the same time that the architectural grandeur of the principal façade is greatly heightened by the additional elevation. The second point, and one of much importance to the aspect of the interior, is, that the galleries which ran along both sides of the nave in the old palace, obstructing the view, are done away with, and the outside ones are alone retained. I❑ these will be placed the lighter and more valuable articles of manufacture, such as occupied them in Ilyde-park. If the expenditure is only kept under firm and ju dicious control there is every reason to hope that this undertaking will be completely successful. The appre hensions, however, that the building will not be ready by the Ist of May seem to increase in strength, and, although a great deal of work has undoubtedly been done, the progress made, until within the last few days, has not been so great as might have been expected. It is perhaps to be regretted that the company did not give themselves more time for the execution of a scheme so extensive, and even still it may be worth their while to consider whether they ought not to defer the opening. The permanent character of the building, its lofty pro portions, the inequalities of the ground on which it stands, the exposure of so elevated a site, and the diffi culty of accomodating a vast number of workmen in such a spot—all present obstacles of a serious kind. The economy of time also in undertakings of this sort has its limits, for things done in a hurry entail extra cost for speed, and are generally found defective. Taking all this into consideration, and remembering the great strain by which the building in Hyde-Park was got ready, it seems unwise in the company to bind themselves to the let of May as their opening day. They I have no body of volunteers behind their backs, like the 16,000 exhibitors behind the Royal Commission, to furrissn the vast interior as soon as it is covered in. They must do the whole, or nearly the whole, work of tilling up themselves ; and not only have they this tack within, but outside also they have more than 100 acres of land to lay out in the most elaborate style of garden ing. They have, besides, to provide additional railway accommodation to London-bridge, and a new line to the west-end of town ; for in the present state of matters a great rush of people to Sydenham would give rise to an amount of confusion and inconvenience which might dis gust the public with the whole undertaking. To effect this and other objects of vital importance to the schemes Parliament must first bo appealed to, and we all know what delay that entails. These very obvious considerations, connected with the state and prospects of the now Palace, will, no doubt, when the proper time arrived, force themselves on the attention of the directors, who, in the meantime, may fairly be congratulated on the growing promise of their enterprise as each portion of it acquires shape and con sistency. To the magnificence of the design for the building, to its commanding site, and to the general out line of the scheme for rendering it attractive—all of which have been described in previous notices—there can now be added many interesting details which may help one to appreciate by anticipation whit the whole will be when completed. As the exterior arrangements are those which will first attract the attention of the visi tor, let us give some account of them at the outset. The south-eastern slope of the hill, on the summit of which the new Palace stands, and up which the main approach will lead, is to be laid out in a manlier which will ren der it quite as attractive as in the interior of the build ing, it not more so. The upper portion of it—that im mediately in front of the principal facade—to the extent of about 40 acres, and having a breadth of about 1,650 'eet, will bo arranged as a terraced Italian garden, end SIR H.

The hearing of this case was resumed by adjournment from the 23d ult. The bankrupts, who were stock brokers, of Throgmorton- street, then applied for their certificates, end were opposed by Mr. Lucas, for the executors of Mrs. Sutherland, on tho ground of misap propriation of funds entrusted to them for a specific pur pose.

That lady authorised the bankrupts ;o sell out for her stock in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. and to purchase East India Railway shares. This they had failed to do to the extent required; but some of the shares had since been replaced, leaving a balance of 1,0871. still duo to the creditors. His Honour said he should make no observation on the case until he had had an opportunity of looking through the correspondence. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn,) IN RE WINSTANLEY AND CO.

Winstanley (who a short time since committed suicide), trading under the style or firm of Winstanley and Sons, the extennive chemists and drug gists of the Poultry. The debts are about 5,0001.; the amount of assets cannot at present be ascertained with accuracy, but they are expected to be very considerable. Debts to the amount of nearly 3,0001. wore proved during the day, and Mr. Homer, of Bucklersbury, wholesale druggist, was unanimously chosen assignee, and he accepted the trust. Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, and Co., are the solicitors to the assignee. It was an uncontested choice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1852. that ho was a carver and gilder, of St. Mary-street, Liverpool, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the White Bear public house, in King-street, Hammersmith. On Thursday evening the 14th inst., the prisoner en tered the abovo named public house, with a carpet-bag in his hand, as if he had been travelling, and inquired if he could he provided with a bed. Mrs. Millward replied in the affirmative, and he was shown to a bedroom next to one occupied by a young man named Edward Griffith's. The prisoner slept in the room all night, and in the morning, shortly before nine o'clock, he came down stairs with his carpet bag, paid his reckoning w i t hout orderin g any breakfast, which was the usual custom for per sons to do, and left the house. No suspicion was then attached to him, bat a few minutes afterwards, upon Mrs. Millward going up stairs to ascertain it all was right, she discovered Griffiths's box in his bed room, which contained his wearing apparel, completely empty. Sho instantly informed her husband that Griffiths' clothes had been stolen, and it was then sus pected that the prisoner was the thief. The prisoner was accordingly pursued and apprehended in the Grove, walking in the direction of Shepherd's Bush. He was brought back to the house, and Sergeant Lowe, of the T division, who had been called, found the carpetbag locked. He then searched him, and discovered the key in his pocket. Upon opening the bag the officer found two coats, a waistcoat, two silk handkerchiefs, and other articles, which Griffiths identified as belonging to him. Tho prisoner was discovered wearing three pairs of trou sers, two of which were the property of Griffiths, and also another waistcoat, belonging to the same person. In the pockets of the prisoner Sergeant Lowe found a cap, a cigar case, and gloves, which Griffiths said were his property. He also said that the whole of his property was quite safe in his box when he left his room about 8 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Paynter committed the prisoner fJr trial. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Lords of the Admiralty will arrive here to-mor row morning to commence their official inspection. On Wednesday evening their Lordships personally patronize a ball in aid of the Seamen and Marines' Orphan Schools, at Hollingsworth's rooms. The Niger, 14, screw.sloop, Commander Heath. went out of harbour to Spithead on Friday evening, and ship ped her ammunition yesterday, prior to sailing. It has hitherto been supposed that Jack would desert his ship unless his wages were kept in arrear. That such is not the cam has been proved by the fact of the Niger having left this port without a single "straggler," although paid down to the 30:h of September. This is, we believe, a very rare case. The Niger may be manned with an unusually steady crow, or she may have unusually popu lar officers; but at any rate it augurs well for the new system of monthly payment to the seamen of the fleet. The Sappho, 16, Commander the Hon. A. Cochrane, was inspected, and her crew mustered by the Port-Ad miral, and exercised in gunnery by Captain Chads, C. 8., yesterday, prior to her sailing in the evening to bo paid off at Chatham. The Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Giffard, left Spithead this afternoon for Queenstown to endeavour to make up her crew. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fremantle will haul out of the fitting basin on Monday.

Protestant Association Office, 6, Serjeanes-inn, Fleet-street, Oct. 22, 1852. Sir,—Allow me to invite the attention of yourself and your readers to the enclosed correspondence of the sub ject of diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome. I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES LORD, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, My Lord,—You were pleased to favour me with a prompt reply to my former letter, dated Juno 26, and to give an unqualified denial to a report to which I had drawn your attention with reference to the alleged mis sion of some diplomatic agent to Rome to treat with the Pope in certain important subjects then re ferred to. Since then a rumour has gone abroad attended with some matters of so circumstantial a kind as to give a probability to it,:and to have impressed many with a belief of its truthfulness. The rumour to which I now refer appeared in substance in the Debuts and other papers. It is to the effect thit: Sir Henry Bulwer had visited Rome, and when there bad an inter view with Cardinal Antonelli, on which occasion Sir Henry is represented as having hinted that it would be advisable for the British Government to accredit to Rome an agent with a higher title than that of consul : and that Cardinal Antonelli replied that it would be time to discuss such a question when a papal vincio was admitted to the Court of England. May I then request of your lordship infornation on the following points : 1. Whether Sir Henry Bulwer has been accredited as ambassador or minister to the Court of Rome, or to act there in any diplomatic relation on behalf of the British Government ? 2. If any communication, official or otherwise, has been made by him or others to her Majesty's Govern ment of any such interviews as is above referred tU ? Your lordship's exalted position may place you above noticing mere ordinary rumours, but I trust that in a question of so much importance, and in which many feel so strongly, and ono thus specially brought under sour notice, a speedy and satisfactory reply will be afforded. I have the honour to remain, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, JAMES LORD, Chairman. Oct 18, 1852. Downing. street, Oct. 20, 1852. Sir,—l am directed by Lord Derby to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., in which you request to be informed whether Sir Henry Bulwer has beecsaccredited as ambassador or minister to the Cour; of Rome, or to act there iu any diplomatic relation on behalf of the Briiish Government ; and also whether any communication, official or otherwise, has been made by him or others to her Majesty's Government of any in terview with Cardinal Antonelli; and I have, in reply to your first question, to acquaint you that Sir Henry Bulwer has not been in any way accredited to the Court of Rome ; and with respect to your second ques tien, that it does net consist with Lord Derby's duty to answer any inquiries as to private and unofficial com munications which may have passed in conversation be tween Sir Henry and Cardinal Antonelli, or any other person at Rome.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, James Lord, Esq, W.

MODERN CYCLOPEAN WALL.—A recent number of the Allgemeine Zeitung contains an interesting account of a visit which the writer had made to inspect the progress of building a wall in the manner called Cyclopean, at Dusterebrook, near Kiel, in Schleswig-Holstein. Ho considers the effect of the work and the style of execu tion far superior to any of the numerous remains called by the same name which ho had seen in Italy, and goes so far as to give it the preference over any other kind of wall, so far as the plain, vertical surface of the material, apart from ornamental accessories. is concerned. He thinks that the polygonal stones, exerting their pressure in all directions, must insure stronger work than squared atones, however closely jointed, which only act in the di rection of gravity. Indeed, the innumerable many sided and multangular stones of all sins seem run to gether into one compact mass,_ of which neither time nor age will get the better. Neither mortar nor any other means of binding the stones together is employed; but the greatest care is taken in fitting :the granite blocks one into the other, the vacant spaces in the wall a; it is carried up being accurately taken off with a lead tape (bleistunge) forced with a hammer into all the angles of the openings, and then applied to the flat hewn face of the block best suited, and next to be brought to its pro per shape by the workman. From the workmen, ho learned that the directions given them by the architect were— " Five-sided and six-aided blocks, seldom four-sided; straight lines, obtuse angles, joint upon angle and angle upon joint; ail according to the lead tape, and only inclined junctions." In fact, all the junctions between the blocks were found to be in every gradation between the perpendicular and the horizontal, without coinciding with either of them. In this obli quity of the joints the author detected the arch principle of construction as applied to the work, and the workmen pointed out to him, that each stone either pressed or supported, with every one of its sides, however nume rous. He was unable to learn the name of the architect. Herr Mahnke was the name of the builder, who had said that the cost of the work was less than a squared stone wall ; that it was much stronger, so that ho should have used it in several larger buildings if ho had been acquainted with it sooner ; moreover, that this kind of building was to be preferred, because every stone, large or small, can be used up in it. Generally, the writer holds this polygonal or Cyclopean kind of building to be especially applicable in, first, hydraulic works, as it offers nowhere a continuous joint to the water ; second, in for tifications ; third, for railways in substruction and steep coverings, and in the cellar story and even in the next story of large buildings and palaces. In those mor t ar would be used, not as a means of connecting the stone, but only as pointing to the joints, so that the immediate contact of the stone should not be interrupted. In con clusion, the writer recommends the adoption of this method of building, according to determined and clearly defined principles and rules, as altogether practical, wherever the material for polygonal blocks is found—a method which is at least to us a now ono, and not simply a more careful execution of the loug-used rock walls, or an ornamental imitation of an old style, as in the halls, of which practical method, in short, the Cyclopean wall, near Kiel, is the first example that has been exe cuted in Germany.— The Builder. THE BALLOT.—Mr. Cobden in a letter to the un successful liberal candidate for Montgomery remarks—. It is to meet such crying evils that you describe that the ballot must be adopted. It is not as a cure for bribery, that I advocate secret voting, so much as a shield against intimidation and coercion. The remedy for bribery is the enlarging of the small constituencies, and the ballot. With q 8 millions of people to be represented in Parlia by 656 members, there ought not to be any small consti tuencies. THE MARIONETTES IN LITERPOOL—The Forform ances this week have been slightly varied. Mr. A. Browne delivers a new introductory address, and then follows the burlesque of " Bombastus Furioso." Next, we have a duet from Norma, the perfamences of the Ethiopian melodists, a comic song, and the splendid spectacle of " Aladdin." The audiences are numerous, and if we may judge by the roars of laughter and thunders of applause with which the efforts of the puppets are greeteG, greater favourites never appeared before the Liverpool public, We are not at all surprised that it snould be so, for the performance of the Ethiopians alone is so natural, and withal so ludicrous, that all classes are provoked thereby to, we had almost said, the most out rageous laughter. The scenery is splendid, every scene being a perfect picture in itself ; and the action of some of the figures is graceful, if notalwaya natural. For children, a visit to Marionettes will be a great treat; and although large numbers attend nightly, they are specially pro- vided for in the morning performances, which take place every Saturday.—Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 22, NEVER DESPAIR.—A Couple were married at Ii ng's Cliffs lately, who had "wooed" for 37 yours. MANSION-HOUSE.— Wrn. Cockson, who had under gone several examinations upon the charge of having robbed his employers, Messrs. Bowring and Co., of Fen church-street, hosiers, of goods of the value of upwards of 400 t, was brought up for final examination. The prison , r, who appeared to be about 18 years old, had been 17 months in the employment of Mr. Bowring, as errand boy, and during the last twelve months the firm had been losing quantities of gloves and silk hand kerchiefs. Upon taking stock they ascertained that the property missing was to the above-mentioned amount. The prisoner was not suspected until his emplopers were informed that he was in the habit of spending much more money than he received for the performance of his duties. He was then called aside and taxed with the robbery. At first he denied that he had stolen any pro. perty ; but soon afterwards he acknowledged that he had stolen about 30 pieces of silk handkerchiefs, worth 521. IW. A solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, endea voured to show, by the cross-examination of Mr. Bow ring, that the words used by that gentleman to induce pia client to state all ho knew of the matter referred to the first admission which the prisoner had made. Mr. Bowring distinctly denied that such was the case, and was confirmed by other testimony. Alderman Hooper said the words implying a lenient view of the case were, it was quite plain, used after the prisoner had confessed to the robbery of the thirty pieces of handkerchiefs, and therefore could not be con sidered as containing a promise or an understanding to remit the accusation. The prisoner was then committed for trial to Nerrgate. Margaret Reilly was charged with having attempted to drown herself in the Thames, near Quecnhithe-stairs. A watcrman said he saw the prisoner, who appeared to bo half drunk, run thorn the stops and m2ko an ef fort t o throw h,- ._ lflnLj the water. Alderman Hooper—And did she get into the water at all ? prevented her from reaching the w ater. .s seized her and Aldorraan Hooper (to prisoner) What were you about ?

After they left some cigars were missed from the for another pipe, which they also found too largo for their purpose : but the shopwoman, on seeing them run away, pursued the prisoner and gave him into custody. The prisoner said the fact was, he saw the two boys take the cigars, and told the woman of it, and then ran after them, but was not able to catch th em . The shop woman said that was not true, for when she followed the prisoner, she saw him throw away fire cigars.

The defendant and his porter were proceeding over the bridge with a t r uck, upon which the toll-collector informed thorn that, by the rules thee bridge, person could bo passed throunh roadway with the track, ald that the master or . his man must go through tho passengers' wicket-gate in the ordinary way, was no ii sputo a b ou t t he payment of the toll, but de fendant persisted in using the carriage way, as he was in a hurry. Finding all remonstrance useless, Willett and two other toll-collectors interfere d to compel him to conform with the regulations of the bridge, and the con sequence was an assault upon each. The witnesses stated th at the defe n dant appeared to be slightly un der the influence of drink. The defendant strongly denied the latter imputation, and with respect to the as saults, stated that he was ver y roughly handled by the t oll-collectors. Mr. henry told him he had acted very foolishly, b ut the collectors must be uphold in the discharge of th e i r duties. His worship fined him 121. for the three as saults, or two months' imprisonment. The fines were paid. W ANDSW ORTll,—Willianz Read, the master of a Band craft, and living at the waterside, appeared to answer a charge of assaulting William Purvis, of 62, Tower-street, Westminster -road, an assistant sheriff's officer, whilst in the execution of his duty. The complainant now proved that on Wednesday evening he was put in possession by a Mr Glover, on his warrant from the sheriff, as also under a county court process by Mr Goff, the under-bailiff. That at six o'clock the defendant came to him, and told him he must leave, or he would turn him out.

A portion of the seamen of the Lmdon, 90, advanced ship, are daily employed in her equipment. She is entering men slowly and is some 400 short of her complement, When ready for service, she is to have none other than the best Welch coal, which, c!..using but little deposit, is batter adapted to her tubular boilers then coal procured from the north country. Another ship of the same class is ordered to be built on the same slip from which she was launched. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Tartarus, Lieutenant -Commanding R. H.

LAW REFORMS.—The first day of Michaelmas Term, when the new course of procedure in the Court of Chancery comes into operation, is rapidly approach ing, and some anxiety is felt both by professional men and by suitors with reference to the working of the new system. Such anxiety is not gronndless. The impend ing alterations relate not merely to the practice in the courts, but they also transfer the direction of the details of a suit to the Judges sitting at Chancery in substitu tion of the present Masters in Chancery, and yet to the present moment no general rules and orders for regu lating the form and mode of procedure before the Judges so sitting at Chambers have been promulgated. The practitioner is left without chart or compass, and will be obliged to act in working out a new system without having had the opportunity of considering the effect and operation of the rules which ho will be required to ob serve. MURDER, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—WEDNES BURY, SATURDAY.—A shocking tragedy has just been perpetrated here, a married woman having drowned her child, aged 15 months, in a tub, and afterwards made an attempt on her own life by hanging herself. The cir cumstances were investigated last evening, by Mr. Hinchliffe, the district coroner. A number of witnesses were examined, and the following is the gist of their testimony : The alleged murderess, Sarah Smith, is the wife of a moulder, employed at the ironworks of Mr. George Adams, of this town. O n Saturda y evening last, about five o'clock, Smith, the husb and, came, home from his work, but could not find hi s wife.

LUKE, OLD-STKEET.--DECREASE OF PAUPERISM.--111 this extensive and populous parish there has been, in the course of the last few years, gradual decline in the number of pauper applicants for relief, both of in-door and out-door poor. In the year 1845 the expenditure on account of the poor amounted to Ladyday this year, it was to about 13,700/, while up reduced to 8,7001. In the former year the rate was 3s. 21. in the pound, while in tho latter year the annual charge to the ratepayers was 20. sd. ire the pound. Thi s has arisen in consequence of the decrease in the number of paupers. In the year 1545, there were 596 inmates in the workhouse, while this year, up to Lady-day, th ey were diminished to 459. The outdoor applicants amounted in the former year to 33.432, and this year to 26,354. The decrease in the rate would have been more but tt at the charge cn account of the county expeedi. turd has increased from 1,4851. in 1845, to 10,346/. this )ear, and which has been imposed by the county magis trates.
