THE --....----w.--- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. • MALTA, Nov. 14.—Tlie various packets due have all arrived. Serious fears were lately entertained for the safety of her Majesty's steamer Volcano, which was known to have left Marseilles on the morning of the Ist inst. Oa the 10th, at six A.m., her Majesty's steamer Hecla was sent out to look for her, and at three P.M. saw her under sail, and on coming up took her in tow. The Volcano had experienced very bad weather, and been obliged to blow off her steam and use her sails. She had the mis fortune also to carry away her foreyard. By this delay that portion of the India mails sent through France did not go forward, the Oriental having sailed on the Bth. It is now here, and will be forwarded by the Ariel on the arrival of the Achilles from England. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Iberia has been taken off this station and sent home, touching at Malaga and Gibraltar. Her place is to be supplied by the Ariel, one of the swiftest boats we have ever seen on this station. The Trident appears likely to prove a complete failure. She has been tried by the Admiral under every circum stance considered favourable—laden by the head, and by the stern. She will next be tried on an even keel, and if then unsuccessful, will be sent home in despair of her being ever useful here. • The Dutch squadron under Prince Henry is still here. 1 It is reported it will put to sea in the early part of next DEPARTURE OF THE FOREIGN MAILS FOR DECEMBER. ,The following - notice was issued on Saturday at the General Post-office, St. Martin's le-Grand " EAST INDIA, &c.—The mails for Gibraltar, Malta, Greece, the loniah Islands, Egypt, Aden, Ceylon, India, Hong-Kong, and China, will be made up on the morn. ho ing of the 3d of Decemb e r , to be forwarded by t Peninsular and Oriental St eam Company's packet via Southampton, and on the morning of the 21st December.

(From the Times.) It will give us unaffected pleasure to find that we were misled by fallacious appearances when we hinted that in the present position of the French Government it was not improbable that the Northern Powers had secured the secret acquiescence of that Court to their coup d'etat against the republic of Cracow. Some of the leading organs of the French Ministerial press have indeed gone to great lengths In indulging their spite and rancour against this country by assuring the world that France was ready to accept and to profit by the most violent and rapacious projects that could be entertained at St. Peters burgh. Our own remarks on the subject only imputed to them a policy in which some of them already placed the future glory of the French Cabinet; and if they con ceive themselves to be injuriously affected by the suspi cions we expressed, they have nothing to blame but their ' own imprudence in assuming that spurious and unreal servility which awakened our apprehensions. At the first touch of fact, all the dreams of the Presse about a Russian alliance vanish into thin air. The more autho ritative and dignified organs of M. Guizot pronounce an opinion and a protest, as decided as our own, with refer ence to the extinction of the republic of Cracow; and in spite of the divisions which may exist between the two Cabinets of England and France on another point, we can not but rejoice that an event like this should have forcibly reminded them of their common duties and their common rights. It is impossible to allow an eventual and contingent dispute, like that arising out of the Spanish marriages, to sever those relations of two countries which are based on the very foundations of their political condition and their social wants. A Minister of either state would ill discharge his duty to the public and to the Crown he serves, if he were to sacrifice all the points on which he may agree to that one on which he must differ. This very incident of the annihilation of Cracow is a striking proof of the use to which ether Powers think they may turn our differences; but those differences are not, we rejoice to find, so deep as to extinguish or abate the force of the indignant remonstrance with which the Govern ments of England and France are, and must be, prepared to animadvert upon such a violation of the public law of Europe. No personal jealousies, we will even add no recent defeats on one field, can withhold us from support ing the principles which are the basis of British policy; and we are persuaded that there is not a well-wisher to the peace of the world who will not rejoice that the influence of France is not lost to the good cause, but is likely to be exercised in conjunction with our own. The Augsburg Gazette, which was employed by the Cabinet of Vienna to announce its conquest and acquisi tion to Germany and the world, appears to have pre sumed to a most extraordinary degree upon the igno rance and credulity of the public. The assertion that the independence and neutrality of Cracow were matters settled between the three protecting Powers alone, and regarded by them merely as an experiment terminable at their pleasure, is a barefaced falsehood. We had already anticipated the answer by publishing the article of the Treaty of Vienna, by which all the stipulations relating to Cracow are virtually incorporated in that solemn act ; and it is utterly futile to pretend that any subsequent act, short of the concert of all the great Powers, could alter or abrogate those arrangements. The protecting Courts themselves have repeatedly acknowledged the indefeasible vigour of the conditions they now obliterate and deny ; for as often as England and France have protested against their arbitrary measures towards Cracow, the answer has been that they were but temporary, and that Austria herself was most anxious to restore the republic to its legi timate condition. Can anything equal the ab surdity of the pretence that the existence of Cracow was formidable to Germany ? It might be in convenient to a couple of German Courts, laden with the spoils of Poland and embarrassed by the political crimes of the last century; but it was as the root and heart of Poland that Cracow was to be wiped out of the map of Europe. Germany, indeed, or at least the two great German courts, conspired but too effectually against Poland; but we have yet to learn by what means the last fragment of their victim threatened to avenge upon their dominions the wrongs done to that fallen mo narchy, of which it was once the head. The sensation produced by this event in France and throughout Ger many has been deep and strong. Such acts of power are not wrought with impunity; such calamities are not en dured in vain. The imperious violence of Russia, the timid craft of Austria, have combined to strike off one of the branches of the Treaty of Vienna; and the weak and vaccillating Court of Berlin, disapproving of the harshness of one of its accomplices and the baser prac tices of the other, has lent itself to sanction the work of encroachment and oppression. The protest against such deeds is one of opinion even more than of political in fluence and authority; and we venture to affirm that the protest will be universal throughout the world, and must again bring the Governments of England and France to co-operate in a common cause. week. - Her Majesty's ship Tyne will leave port on Monday next, it is said, for England, where she will be paid off, having been four years in commission in April next. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 22.—The Polyphemus steam sloop, Commander M'Cleverty, arrived last evening from Lisbon, having made the passage in the extraordinary quick time of four days. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, came into the harbour yesterday, and went under the masting sheers, where her 13-inch mortar and shells were re moved, placed in an ordnance hoy, and transferred to the gun wharf. She will complete coals, and take on board stores for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron, off Lisbon, to-morrow, and leave in the evening, or Tuesday morning. Commander Gower Lowe has commissioned the Re sistance troop-ship, and his officers and crew have been turned over to that ship from the Crocodile. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, was removed from the basin yesterday morning, and moored off Cold harbour, Gosport, where she will complete for sea. The Rhadamantbus steam troop-ship, Master Com mander Laen, put out the marines she had on board belonging to the eastern divisions into the Terrible yesterday, and that vessel left with them after dark for Woolwich, calling at Sheerness to disembark the men belonging to the Chatham division. The Rhadamanthus came into harbour and disem barked the men of the Portsmouth division this morning. The authorities, who have had the superintendence of these men since their arrival at Plymouth in the Terrible, are not entitled to much credit for their arrangements. They were embarked in the Terrible at Lisbon, and 1 taken by that vessel to Plymouth; on their arrival they were transferred to the Rhadamanthus and brought here—the Terrible arriving six hours before them; then the majority of them were transferred again to the Terrible for a passage to join their divisions at the east ward; and as a climax to this apparent bad management, the remainder, after forty• four hours' spell at Spithead during awful weather, were landed here on Sunday morning during a heavy squall of wind and rain, soaking both men and baggage through. All this might have been avoided by the exercise of a little common sense. Why not have suffered all the men, with the exception of those belonging to Plymouth, to have remained on board the frigate until her arrival at Spithead? It was well known she was to call here on her way to the river long before she left Lisbon. But perhaps the movements have been conducted with a view to accustoming the men to the performance of such manoeuvres! The Nimrod, 20, Commander Dacres, was at Cape Mount, coast of Africa, on the 30th of September; at which date The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, was en route from Sierra Leone to Ascension and England. The cause of her coming home is in consequence of two officers in her having written for courts-martial upon themselves. The Waterwitch, 8, Commander T. F. Birch, was cruizing, having left for St. Helena on the 22d, after taking in a fine prize for adjudication. The Ferrett, 8, Commander Sprigg, was cruizing off She -Bar. The Cygnet, 6, Commander Montresor, was at the Gallinas. The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, was en route to the Pongas. The Snake, 16, Commander Brown, arrived at Mauri tius, from the Cape, on the 10th of August. The Semarang, 26, Captain Sir E. Belcher, arrived at the Mauritius, from China and Singapore, on the 25th of August, en route to England. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 20.—Last night this port was visited by a tremendous storm from the southward and west ward, occasionally accompanied by heavy rain. During the height of the gale, about three this morn ing, the small schooner Providence, Captain Allen, of Falmouth, then lying in the mouth of the Catwater, with one anchor and a kedge , dragged her moorings, and not having any of her crew on board, unfortunately fell across the bow of the brig fleros of about 200 tons, Captain Boussin, belonging to Port-au-Prince, in ballast Irons London, bound for St. Domingo. The brig had two bowers and a kedge down, and would have ridden out the gale in safety, but for the accident to the schooner. They both drove ashore under Queen Anne's battery. The brig lies with her stern towards the land, hull in jured, and jib-boom carried away. The schooner lies across the brig's bow, her mainmast gone by the board, and being lightly built and most exposed, will probably go to pieces next tide. The stores of both areJanding. The schooner Alpha, of Plymouth, Captain Harper, broke from her moorings between the island and the main, and went ashore in Firestone Bay. She is laden with Delabole slate. This morning the Danish brig Niord, Captain Quaat, having signalled for assistance, the Queen's Harbour master, Mr. Walker, promptly supplied her with a trigete's chain and anchor. The American barque Columbus, 750 tons, drawing 11i feet of water, Captain Wood, from Hamburgh, with ballast and goods, for Batavia, in endeavouring to dock at Cattedown, in order to examine her bottom, on Wednesday, just at the pitch of high water, had her two stern fastenings broken by a barge under sail up Catwater, in consequence of which the Columbus swung alongside the quay, with her stern on soft ground : she strained severely, and the next tide the water ran into her. While clearing the hold, on Thursday, the main mast sprung in the wake of the mainyard by the lifting of her keel and keelson. To prevent injury to the crew, her larboard main-rigging was then cut away, and her mainmast fell on her starboard side, carrying other spars, rigging, and gear with it. The extent of the damage is yet unknown. WooLwicii, Nov. 21.—The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant Lysaght commanding, will leave Woolwich on Tuesday next for the Island of Ascension, and will embark Mr. Hook, one of the Slave Commissioners,:for the coast of Africa. Captain Hutton, R.N., the new Governor of Ascension, will also embark in the Grappler for a passage to that island. The Grappler is one of the experimental vessels, constructed of iron; and, upon trial down the river, was found to be very fast, and reported to answer well. The Rosamond (late Eclair), Commander J. Foote, was tried down the river on Friday, and found in good order. She embarked one bombardier and nine gunners of Marine Artillery in the afternoon of the same day, and it is said she will proceed to the Cape of Good Hope to relieve the Thunderbolt steam-vessel, Commander Boyle. The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, is to be paid off about the 27th instant. The Growler steam-vessel, having had her carpenter's defects made good at Deptford dockyard, was towed down the river to Woolwich on Thursday, and taken into the basin on Friday, to have her machinery put in order. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., will leave Woolwich early in the ensuing week. Her destination is not yet known, but will be communicated on her arrival at Portsmouth. The harbour at Woolwich presents a very animated scene at present, owiag to the number of vessels in commission at that port, at present consisting of the following: — The William and Mary yacht, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir F. Collier, C.B. and K.C.H. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C.B. The Rosamond steam-sloop, Commander J. Foote. The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch. The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham. The Grappler, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Lysaght. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander DREADFUL GALE ON THE EAST C. NORTH SHIELDS, SATURDAY.—This part of the coast was yesterday visited by a fearful gale of wind from the S.E. and S.S.E., which, though of but short duration, did great damage to shipping at sea, as well as in this harbour. There was a smart breeze early in the morn ing, which subsided after sun rise, and rose again with the flood tide in the afternoon. Four vessels went on the Black Middens, in attempting to enter the harbour, but all hands were saved with the exception of the captain of the Sceptre. The Briton, trader between this port and London, was the first vessel that struck, and in a very few minutes after the Fenwick, of Sunderland, coal laden, did so likewise. Both vessels were within fifty yards of the shore ; and, on signals of distress being made, the life boat was launched, and thecrew of the Fenwick were safely landed. The boat then made towards the Briton, but the sea was so rough that it was impcssible to approach her. Dennetes rockets were then brought into requisition, and a line was thrown across the vessel, bnt the crew refused to make use of it, being determined to remain by the vessel. The tide had then begun to ebb, and they calculated on being able to ride the storm out and land after the time had receded. In about an hour after the Briton and Fenwick had been cast on the rocks, two other vessels were observed in the offing making towards the harbour. One proved to be a Dutch galliot. She came ashore close under the battery at Tynemouth, and was floated up to within a few yards of the cliff. She got off again this afternoon, when she was towed into harbour, but has sustained considerable damage. The other vessel was the Sceptre, of this p ort, coal laden, and she went right athwart the Briton, stove in her stern, and did other damage. The crew of the Sceptre saved them selves by leaping on board the Briton, where they re mained till the water had receded, with the exception of the master, Mr. John Ruddock, who in leaping fell between the vessels and was drowned. His body was found the same evening within a few yards of the Briton. The Sceptre being in a bad position, was lifted by the sea and dashed against the rocks, and went to pieces in a short time. The Briton has sustained great damage, and will probably be a complete wreck. She had on board a very valuable cargo, and had only sailed for London on the preceding day. The wind moderated towards night, and has since continued so. As soon as the tide receded, so as to allow the crew to land, the vessels were boarded by wreckers, and pillaged of everything valuable, sails, ropes, and everything handy were cut away and carried off ; even the clothes of the men were taken. The most disgrace ful scenes were witnessed during the night. The Preventive men were knocked down and thrust aside, their lights put out, and the vessels were literally gutted. About nine this morning a detachment of soldiers from the garrison was sent to protect the property, but they fully realised the fable of "locking the door when the horse was stolen." The shipping in the harbour have also suffered great damage. TERRIFIC GALE AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, SAT LT lIDAY .—W e were yesterday visited by an exceedingly severe storm, which committed much haroc on shipping and other property in and around Liverpool. On Thursday the weather was fine, but from indications which were visible in the position of the mercury, it was evident that a change was about to occur. The glass on that day fell suddenly, and Cap tain Lott - , who left the Mersey for Halifax and Boston in the Caledonia in the course of the forenoon, was heard to say that he anticipated a terrific gale. He has, un fortunately, been a true prophet ; but we have every hope that his noble ship has rode triumphantly over the angry and furious waves of St. George's Channel, and that she now stems her way across the waters of the At lantic, and will reach her destination in good time and perfectly uninjured. The gale commenced shortly before three o'clock yes terday morning. It originally sprung up from the S.E., but gradually veered to S S.W., from which point it ac quired a terrific force, and it was not till three o'clock, P.m., that it abated—then only partially. The storm blew exactly down the river Mersey, and many vessels were lying at anchor outside. Never did the Mersey present a more sublime and awful spectacle. Its waters were lashed into madness, and seemed as if bent upon dealing out universal de struction to everything that came within their angry gasp. The lovers of the wild and sublime thronged the pier when the storm raged with its greatest fury, and many who were feasting their curiosity on the majestic but appalling scene before them did so at the risk of a complete drenching, which no few of the devotees re ceived. The wind had reached its climax about noon. At that time it blew a complete tornado. It was then high water, and the waves rose with fearful violence, and swept over the vessels anchored in the river, whilst the spray, dancing fantastically, occasionally swept along the piers. Some of the vessels at anchor in the river braved the fury of the raging elements with compara tively little injury. Others parted from their cables, and drifted out of the river, and are now on shore on Bootle Bay. The following particulars, which we have been enabled to obtain from various sources, will show the severity of the storm, and the amount of damage, so far as we now know, which it has caused:— The Skerryvore tug-boat sunk off St. George's-pier; crew saved. A quarantine barque drew her anchors, and went ashore in Bootle Bay; and The Wakefield brig, just arrived from St. John's, and a scnooner also parted anchors, and went ashore in Bootle Bay. No lives lost. A flat sunk on West Hoyle; but we are glad to learn the crew was saved by the life-boats. The Princess Dublin mail-steamer, ran into the tug boat Mona, and very much damaged her. It was reported that one of the Dublin mail boats had arrived in a state of wreck, with her funnel blown out of her, but this arose from the circumstance that the Princess, which was undergoing repairs, was towed into the river for the purpose of going into the graving dock. She was very much blown about during the transit, and having no funnel, the above-mentioned rumour naturally arose. Several small steamers and flats parted their anchors, but without doing any damage. The only life lost was that of poor Irish passenger in a frieze coat, name unknown, who was blown into one of the docks and drowsed. The body was recovered very /speedily, and taken to the receiving house, but all attempts to restore animation were fruitless. On land, a few chimney pots and tiles were blown off old buildings, and it was found necessary, in Church street, to barricade the parapet opposite Mr. Hawk's shop, in consequence of a continuous shower of slates from the roof. The shop window of Mr. Rogerson, silk me for, Church-street, was also considerably damaged by the violence of the gale. At Birkenhead, a newly built house, at the corner of Chester-street and Ivy-street, the property of Mr. Wal ters, was blown down, but providentially no person was near at the time. The wind towards evening m oderated a little; and at ten o'clock last night gr eat ho p es were entertained that there would be no _ren.e22.l. S. B. Cook.

VIOLENT STORM.—REMARHABLE FALL OP THE BAROMETER. —During the night of Thursday last, the wind, which for the last three or four days has been south-easterly, increased in fury till it blew quite a gale from the south-east, and there is great reason fo fear much damage to shipping. Contemporaneously with this high wind, an extraordinary fall of the barometer has been remarked, a circumstance which indicates a great storm. Previously, the barometer had been very high, but was gradually declining. Thus, on Thursday week, the 12th inst., it stood at 30•38 all day. It fell on the subsequent day to 30'32, 30.24, 30.09, 30'04, 29'70, 29'68; and on Thursday evening last, about nine o'clock, it was 22-58. During the night, however, it fell to 29'10, and had fallen during yesterday still further; for last evening, e at five o'clock, it stood at 28' 85 . It therefore fell 0 3 0: 7 48 during the night, and 0'25 during yesterday; in (more than seven-tenths) during twenty hours. --Manchester Gua r dian.

(Before Mr. G. 11. Lucas, Chairman, and Messrs. Suther land, Simeon, and Wilkinson.) CONVICTION or THE RECTOR OF CARSHALTON FOR AN ASSAULT.—On Saturday, the Rev. Cator Cator, the rector of Carshalton, appeared before the bench to answer two distinct charges of having committed violent assaults upon two boys named Carr, the sons of poor people liv ing at Carshalton. The case appeared to excite a good deal of interest, and a number of the principal inhabitants of the village were present during the proceedings. John Carr, the complainant upon one of the sum monses, a lad apparently about thirteen years old, de posed that last Wednesday he and a younger brother, and some other boys were playing infront of the rectory at Carshalton, when the defendant came out and ordered them away. They did so, and he went home to his mother's cottage, and was in the bed-room when Mr. Cater came in and told him to go and fetch his brother. He did so, and the moment they en t er ed the cottage Mr. Cater seized hold of him, and beat him with a stick most dreadfully. He fell on his knees and begged for pardon, but he continued to beat him, and he afterwards beat his younger brother until he broke the stick. The boy, at the request of the magistrates, exhibited his back, which was black and blue from the shoulders to the loins, and it was evident that he had been beaten most cruelly. It appeared that the boy had nothing on but his shirt and trowsers at the time he was beaten. In answer to questions put by Mr. Cator, the boy admitted that he and the others were playing at hockey in front of his house, and that they were ordered away and returned. Mrs. Carr, the mother of the boys, deposed that Mr. Cator came to the cottage on the day in question, and appeared to be in a violent passion. He asked if her boys were at home, and she told him that her eldest boy was in the bed-room, and she would bring him out. She opened the door, and Mr. Cator rushed past her into the room, and told the boy to go and fetch his brother. He went out for that purpose ' • and while he w as gone, the defenda nt asked her for a stick, and she gave him one, thinking he would only frighten the boys, and that a parson would have more Christian feeling than to use it in such a cruel manner as he after wards did. Witness at the same time told him that her husband was gone to Croydon to try to sell a few things to get them food, and that when he came home he would beat the children if they had done anything wrong. The moment the boys came in he seized the eldest by the arm and began to beat him with the stick as hard as he could. The boy kneeled down and begged for mercy, but he shewed him none, and behaved more like a brute. After-he had done beating the big boy, he commenced beating the other, and she was so overcome by the defend ant's conduct that she nearly fainted away. The CHAIRMAN asked whether the defendant told her what the boys had been doing, or why he beat them ? The mother replied that all he said was, that they had been annoying him. She added that the youngest boy was very ailing, and subject to fits, and while Mr. Cator was beating him he fell down and rolled about the ground, and she was so much excited at seeing her chil dren treated so cruelly, that if she had had -the power she would certainly have done the defendant some mischief. The magistrates told her that she must give her evi dence calmly, and repress her feelings. She replied that it was impossible for a mother to do so under the circumstances. The witness, in answer to questions put to her by the Bench, denied most positively having authorised the de fendant to beat the children, and she said she gave him the stick believing that he only intended to frighten them. Mary Grove, the next witness, deposed that she was in the cottage when Mr. Cator came in, and she saw him hide the stick under his coat, and when the boys came in he shut the door and began beating them in the way described by the mother. The little boy fell down, and Mr. Cator still kept on beating him, and he turned quite purple in the face, and looked like a corpse. Mr. SimsoN inquired of the witness whether the younger boy was not subject to fits ? She replied that he was, and anything that excited him was likely to bring them on. In answer to questions put by the defendant, the wit ness said that the mother did give him the stick, and that she said it would break no bones, but she denied most positively that she asked him to beat the boys or gave him any authority to do so at all, much less in so cruel a niHanßeyßENCHthea—inTwhiethobjaecpteonfcitihaenmdoctahredr iinngihviisnhgatnhde, to take their names, thinking to fri g hten them ; but stick appeared to be that Mr. C ator should threaten the boys with it, until the father came, when she said he would beat them if they had don e an y thin g wrong. This being the whole of the ev idence, the ma g istrates called upon the reverend defend ant to answer the charge. The Rev. Mr. Cater, who, it s hould be stated, appeared to be a robust young man, said that the onl y answer he had to give was that he had been ver y much annoyed by the boys playing directly und er his windows, and on the day in question he ordered the m to g o awa y . They did so, but immediately he went in the y returned, and the elder Carr was smacking a wh i p and makin g a noise. they all ran away. He went to the cotta g e to complain he had done; but instead of that, he was led to believe that he wanted him to bribe him, which he declined to do, and the next day he received the summonses. In answer to a remark from the bench, Mr. Cator said that the spot in question was the place where the boys of the village usually resorted to play, but it was very an noying to him, and he frequently complained to them and ordered them away. The BENCH reminded the defendant that two wit nesses had sworn positively that the mother never gave him authority to beat the boys. The defendant declared that she did. Mr. WILKINSON (to the defendant)—You admit that you used the stick with all your force ? Defendant —I certainly did ; but Ido not consider I did the boy any important injury. Mr. SIMEON said he supposed that if the boy had had his coat on at the time, the injuries would not have been so severe. Mr. WILKINSON--Oh, if he had had a coat of mail on it would not have hurt him at all ; but that is not the question at issue. The defendant declared that when he went to the cottage he was not at all in a passion; but he admitted that the act of beating the boy did excite him. The magistrates then consulted together for a short time, when the Chairman addressed the defendant, and said, it was with considerable regret he had to announce the decision of the Bench, that they were under the necessity of convicting him of an assault, and they con sidered it a great a ggravation that it should have been committed by a gentleman in his position. He (the Chairman) trusted that, although the defendant had not expressed any regret, that he must, upon consideration, feel that even, according to his own statement of the circumstances, the correction he had administered was most severe, and far beyond what ought to have been ad ministered for the offence the boys had committed. The Bench, therefore, felt it their duty to inflict upon him a fine of 4/. for the assault upon the elder boy, and a fine of 1/. for the assault upon the younger one, and also the costs. The defendant said that the boys were so very aggra vating that he believed any gentleman on the bench would have acted as he had done if he had been placed in the same position. The CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry, and he be lieved the other magistrates felt the same, to hear him attempt to justify his conduct. If he had gone out of his house with a stick and punished the boys at the time, there might be some allowance made, but his conduct in going to their own home and beating them in such a cruel manner, was quite unjustifiable. The defendant paid the amount of the fine and costs, and left the Court. HAMBURGH AND DUTCH MAILS VIENNA, Nov. 12.—Yesterday afternoon a report was first spread of the incorporation of Cracow with the Aus trian monarchy. The funds fell very considerably in con sequence of this report, because a conflict with England and France was apprehended. To-day things are more quiet, as it is supposed to be certain that Count Stadian, the Governor and Imperial Commissioner in Galicia, has taken with him, not only the final conclusions respect ing Galicia, but a convention of the great Europ e a n powers—Austria, Russia, Prussia—on the final fate of the republic of Cracow—Cracow, the focus and seat of the Propaganda, which was constantly threatening with poison and assassination, has, according to the decision of these powers forfeited the right of existing any longer as a republic, and, accordingly, Austria is authorised de finitive possession of Cracow. Count Stadian, after a conference in the Palace of Peince Metternich, has returned to Galicia. Respecting this sudden appearance of Count Stadian, we learn that after the proceedings relative to the conspiracy of the Nobles, and the revolution in Galicia were closed, the sentences which have been signs d and passed by those powers will be shortly published and executed. The final resolutions of the Government are taken. Count Stadian has received the last full powers, and justice will be done for the heavy guilt of a nobility, which, for 50 years, has enjoyed all the benefits of the Government, nay, the greatest favours that any nobility in Europe enjoyed, and which it requited with unexampled treachery. Every friend to his country impatiently looks for the day of decision. The documents which will soon be published will prove to the enemies of Austria, andeven to the most influential statesmen in England and France, that the heavy accusations brought forward in Parliament and the Chambers of the policy observed by Austria in Galicia fall to the ground. The depositions of the conspirators themselves afford the most splendid justification of the Austrian Government, which has been threatened for years with murder and poison. It is expected that the Government :will cause all the depositions of the crimi nals, as well as the whole course of the trial, with all the documents, to be translated into the English and French languages, that all the less nations throughout Europe may be put to shame. BERLIN, Nov. 12.—Mr. Von Gerolt, the Prussian Chargi-d'affaires in North America, left this city the day before yesterday, with instructions for the conclu sion of a treaty of commerce and navigation with the North American States. He returns to Washington in order that the negotiations respecting this important affair may be prosecuted with all dispatch. WARSAW, Nov. 6.—Since the Ist of October, the memorable day, on which the Jews in this kingdom, by laying aside their national costume, made the first step towards civilization, has afforded us many comical scenes through the uncomfortable position in which the Jews have been placed by it. From all the great cities of the kingdom, respectable looking Jews arrived in all the splendour of their most costly silk pelisses trimmed with sable, with their beards and their ringlets in the best order, to obtain a delay, at least for some years; but, they had come to meet their ill fate, for they were here deprived of their silk pelisses, their beards, and their locks, by some barbers who had received the orders of the police; and the poor disgraced Jews stole clandes tinely out of the city. A few days ago a similar event took place, which excited no little sensation, from the remotest part of the country, where Chass€etism ex ercises its powerful influence on the demoralization of the Jews. A company, consisting of eighty men, with their Rabbi at their head, arrived at the gates of our city, in order to obtain from the Prince Governor leave to retain their old costumes. That so strange a company, which might be distinguished at a distance by their singular gesticulations, was not per mitted to enter the city without inquiry, may be con ceived. General A., the chief of the police, being in formed of the strange party before the city, ordered that they should be immediately brought, under a good escort, to the police-office, and then, without speaking a word to them, their beards and locks should be cut off, and their pelises slit up behind. In half an hour the poor people felt the cold air on their bald unprotected faces, and when they recovered from their consternation, they found themselves again at the gates of Warsaw, whither they had been conveyed. They had now no further desire than to be allowed to take the clippings of their beards home, that they might bury them in their cemetery Those, however, were dispersed to all points of the compass, and the travellers had now nothing more to do in Warsaw than to satisfy the barbers' appren tices, who came for their pay. The HAGUE, Nov. 19.—We have the following ac count from Tubbergen, in Overysel, dated the 12th of this month :—"ln the course of the years of 1842 and 1843, 27 inhabitants of this district emigrated to America, among whom there were some respectable farmers, who sold all their property in order to seek a fortune, the prospect of which was held out to them. The result has been that, up to this time, thirteen of these persons, having expended the money which they had re ceived for their effects, they have returned home poorer than they were before, having convinced themselves that here, in their own country, they are better off, in proportion to the agricultural labourers' labour, which they performed, than anywhere else where they have tried their fortune. The Princess of Orange left Stuttgard on the 13th of this month, in the morning, after having passed several weeks there, on a visit to the Roy al Family. Her Royal highness is expected at Munich, to which city the Chevalier Devres, Minister resident of the Netherlands at the Court of Bavaria, is gone to meet her Royal Highness. We understand that her Majesty the Queen, the Princess of Orange, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, the Crown Princess of Wurtemburg, and Prince Alexander of the Netherlands are expected here by the end of the month. Within these few days nine herring vessels have ar rived at Schevenningen, which brought altogether 700,000 herrings; of which the first boat had 101,000, the second 94,000. — Dutch Papers, Nov. 21. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, WANDS WORTH. IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE SANATORY ACT.—An investigation of considerable importance to the public, arising out of an Act recently passed, giving the guardians of the poor power, upon the production of a certificate, signed by two medical men, to remove nuisances within their district which might be and are prejudicial to the public health, took place at this Court to-day. William Roberts, James Roberts, and William Price, persons living at Sadler's place, Putney Lower Common. were summonsed for permitting an accumulation of offen sive or noxious matter, consisting of refuse, dung, and cinders, on certain plots of ground occupied respectively by the defendants, the said accumulations being danger ous to the public health, and contrary to the provisions of the 9th and 10th of Victoria, cap. 96. The inquiry excited greatinterest, and several gentlsmen from Putney were present, amongst whom was Dr. Ridge. Mr. Field, solicitory and clerk to the board of guardians attended to conduct the cases. The defendants having pleaded not guilty, Mr. Thomas Newman Cochrane, relieving officer for the Wandsworth district, was sworn, and stated that he knew the defendants to occupy a piece of land on the common for the deposit of refuse, dung, and ashes, and have done it respectively for the last twelve months. They had separate heaps in front of their houses • he saw them on th e sth o f November. The matter from James Roberts's pigsty ran to the heap, and the smell was very offensive. He could not say that these accu mulations were dangerous to life. Mr. George Macilwain, of No. Albany-yard, and Putney Lower Common, surgeon, stated, that the certifi cate produced was signed by him, and the contents were true. He knew Sadler's-place ; it is in the vicinity of several houses ; and there are heaps of noxious matter generally placed there, which he believed the defendants laid claim to. The heaps were constantly being taken from and added to during the last five years. These collections were very injurious to the health of the inha bitants ; the atmosphere, contaminated by the gases arising from these heaps, was rendered unhealthy, and those breathing it were liable to fever. Witness lives to the windward of the nuisance, and is, therefore, fore, not annoyed. Witness was much interested in the measure before it received the sanction of Parliament, and materially assisted the Government in carrying it out. He considered accumulations of dung, refuse, and cinders,' evolved carburetted or sulphuretted hydrogen, either of which were poisonous acid. He certainly con sidered cinders were noxious matter, and his reason for thinking so was that scarce one particle out of 1,000 of cinders, underwent a perfect combustion, and the noxious gases that abound in the original coal were not destroyed. It was here stated, that the heap of cinders alluded to, WU what he called boo° prepared 1(4'1)4 411 4 4 P, and LORD CAMPBELL AN LL.D.—The Senatus Aca demicus of the University of St. Andrew's, on the 14th instant, unanimously conferred the degree of LL.D. on the Right lion.

This depresses heavy stocks a little, and they end in most cases lower.

Searle, the boat-builders at Lambeth, in which they proceeded up the river, the deceased acting as coxswain. When off the Barnes meadows a sudden violent gust of wind from the south-west blew with such force against the boat that she capsized, and the whole party became immersed in the water. Two boats, which happened to be near, came immediately to their assistance, and succeeded is saving the whole of the party, with the exception of the deceased, who, having on two thick pilot coats, had in stantly sunk. The drags were promptly put into requi sition, but the body was not found. The deceased, who was in his twentieth year, had a brother drowned about four years ago, near the same spot, while in a sailing boat, through a squall. BARGAIN FOR A BIRD STRUCK BY TELEGRAPH. —On Thursday last, Mr. Sleddall, of Raw Head, near Kendal, having just arrived at the railway station in this town, observed a boy with a curious fowl of the water hen species, alive, which he was taking to Mr. Sharpies, the bird curer, to be destroyed and stuffed. Mr. Sled dall, we understand, has a great number of water fowls of different kinds, which he has tamed, and which he keeps in pond s on hi s es t a t e , and, on seeing the bird, he immediately asked the price. The boy told him that it was not his, but that it belonged to one of the porters at the station at Fleetwood. He invited Mr. Sleddall into the office, when application was made by the telegraph to the porter at Fleetwood, and the price was fixed and word sent to Preston. The money was immediately paid and the bird sent to Raw Head, near Kendal, the place destined for its future residence, by the next train. The whole bargain was accomplished in the course of a few minutes.—Preston Chronicle.

The warrants for the dividends of the said stock, payable on Wednesday, the 6th of January, 1847, under the 11th sec. of the Act 3 and 4 William IV., cap. 85, will be ready to be delivered on that day." " HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE."—Under this head the following paragraph appeared in our impression of the 11th instant :—" The Limerick Chronicle gives the fol lowing particulars of this shecking affair :—` Ennisty mon workhouse was visited with a calamitous occurrence this week. The deputy-master, Michael Walsh, re moved from the dining-hall two little children, a boy and a girl, for having quarrelled at table, and snatched one from the other a crust of bread. He placed them in the black-hole for punishment, and appears to have to tally forgotten them for two days, when their absence was remarked by other paupers, and, on opening the place of confinement, both children were found dead in each other's arms. The master was brought into Ennis in ctptody.' "—The story is a pure fabrication, from begin , fling W end, without any foundation in fact whaWYers from which everything impure had been picked and shifted. Dr. Macilwain continued—That allowing the cinders to be dry and free from other impurities, it did not alter his opinion that they were deleterious to health. On another ground, there was great objection to the collec tion of heaps of ashes near dwellings, as they tended to impede the free circulation of air. Mr. PAYNTER said he had never smelt anything noxious from cinders, and he was at a loss to know where they were to be put—they must be deposited somewhere. Mr Charles Shillito, of Putney , surgeon, proved that the certificate produced was signed by him, and then proceeded to state the facts as already detailed. He added, there was no doubt noxious gases evolved from the refuse and dung, and they might exist in a minor degree in a heap of cinders, especially if they were wet. He considered that a huge heap of cinders near dwellings, if it did not contaminate the atmosphere, ob structed the free circulation. The drains in that district were very bad, and he had no doubt that the exhalations from them and dung heaps, &c., had often caused fever. He had been in the houses when the stench was over powering, and on one occasion he was ill for a fortnight after visiting a sick patient in that locality. The heap of ashes which had been alluded to was Price's property, and as large as three or four houses put together. Roberts said they never let the dun accumulate to any height. Mr. PAYNTER said it was very evident that dung and refuse were noxious, and therefore the defendants must remove it altogether. Mr. Field said that, provided the defendants removed the nuisance within two clear days, he would not press for any penalty or costs. The guardians were only de sirous of showing that it was their intention to carry this law into effect. Mr. Benjamin Ridge, of Putney, surgeon, was sworn on behalf of Price, and put in a plan of the pre mises, together with a lengthened and able report upon the same. The report had been submitted to Dr. Golding Bird, who entirely approved of it. He considered that ashes, in the state they were prepared for brickmakers, bad no decom possible matter in them, and therefore no gases could be generated from them in any appreciable quantity, except carbonic acid, which is evolved during the night from every tree and every vegetable. An ash heap, or coal depOt, in such a situation, could not be regarded as inju rious, nor an annoyance, except from its unsightliness ; and any carbon diffused from it, in the shape of fire, did much rather tend to the carrying off its noxious vapours from the moist ground, or from the ditches and drains in the surrounding neighbourhood, which he described as being abominable nuisances, and the primary promoters of any cases of fever which arose in that locality. Dr. Shillito was of opinion that whilst the large heap of cinders remained, the neighbourhood would never be cleared of noxious smells. Mr. PAYNTER said, that with regard to the heap of cinders, he could not satisfy himself that they came within the meaning of the Act as noxious matter, and therefore be should dismiss that summarily ; but he would not say that the party owning this heap was not liable to another proceeding. He thought the ditches and drains ought to be looked to, and was not certain that the defendants were not acting illegally in keeping pigs so near their dwellings. The orders were made for the removal of the dung and refuse by Tuesday next, and the proceedings ter minated. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE POLICE.-At the Marylebone vestry on Satur day, the alleged inefficiency of the metropolitan police was brought under the notice of the vestry by Mr• Flood reading the following communication from the Police Commissioners : " Sir,—The Commissioners of Police of the metropolis have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th inst., stating that you are directed by the ♦estry of St. Marylebone to apply to them for a return of the number of police employed in the parish, and that as a committee of vestry is appointed to take the return into consideration, you request an early answer. The Com missioners have to state in reply, for the information of the vestry, that the police divisions have not been formed with reference to parochial boundaries, and that the parish of St. Marylebone, from its great extent, forms part of three divisions (D, called the Marylebone divi sion, the E, or Holborn division, and the S, or Hamp stead division). The beats of the constables on such divisions are formed according to local circumstances, without reference to the boundary of a parish, and the number of constables on duty in particular parts is varied from time to time, as circumstances make desir able. The Commissioners have always felt it proper not to state the number of police on duty in any parti cular district by day or night, and they beg to observe, that the actual number of police on duty at any place, would not give a just representation of the amount of pro tection by the police given at that place. The distribu tion of the police force throughout the police district is mane with a view to afford the utmost degree of protec tion to the whole, by rendering the police in each part as effective as possible, and the services of the entire police force, or any portion of it, are available, if required, for the protection of any particular part of the district. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " RICHARD MAYNE. " Metropolitan Police-office, 4, Whitehall-place, Nov. 20." After several gentlemen had complained of the instil ficiency of the police, the foregoing communication was entered on the minutes. BATHS AND W ASHHOUSES.—Mr. Flood read the following from Sir George Grey, with reference to the establishment of baths and washhouses:—" Whitehall, Nov. 17, 1846. Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, transmitting for his approval a reso lution of the vestry of St. Marylebone, that the Act for the establishment of Public Baths and Washhouses (9th and 10th Vict., c. 74), be adopted in that parish; and I am to inform you, that as the sanction of the Secretary of State was required by the Act, in order to afford an opportunity for any objections being stated and consi. deted to a resolution of vestry, Sir George Grey must allow a moderate time for this purpose, although in the present case he has much satisfaction in believing that no objections are likely to be made to the unanimous decision of the vestry.--I am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPS.—To the Vestry Clerk of the parish of St. Marylebone." TEN POUND HOUSEHOLDERS.—A circular from Sir G. Grey, Secretary of State, requesting that an inclosed copy of a form for making a return of the number of houses of 101. value and upwards, in every .city and borough in England and Wales returning Members to Parliament, be filled up, was referred to the vestry-clerk. THE HEALTH OF TOWNS' ASSOCIATION. A numerous deputation from this association, headed by Lord Ashley, and accompanied by delegates from some of the provincial branches, waited upon Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, and Lerd Morpeth, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, on Friday last, with the view of urging upon Government the necessity of adopting general legisla tive measures in the next session of Parliament, for the sanatory improvement of the towns and populous districts of the United Kingdom, Lord ASHLEY briefly explained the object of the del.. tation, and presented to Sir George Grey a memoria, on the subject, drawn up by the committee, embodying the views of the association , which ar e no w before the public in an elaborate report on Lord Lincoln's Bill. In presenting this memorial, he (Lord Ashley) desired to state that the main point to which the association desired earnestly to draw attention, was that in any general sanatory measure which might be contemplated, the me tropolis, Scotland, and Ireland, should be included, all of which were omitted from the intended operation of Lord Lincoln's Bill. Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH stated that the Health of Towns' Association had been formed for the purpose of circulating information on this most important subject, with the view of assisting the Government to the utmost of their power in any contemplated legislation, by pre paring the public mind for the change. They had already distributed a great amount of information. and with good effect, but they were anxious to ascertain what were the intentions of Government with respect to legislation, in order that they might direct their efforts in co-operation to ensure the provision of a satisfactory measure. The Hon. F. BYNG stated that if it were necessary to urge any facts to show the necessity of including the metropolis in any contemplated legislation, there were gentlemen then present who could bring forward the strongest proofs of this necessity. Sir G. GREY remarked that it would be quite unne cessary to state any additional facts. The members of the Government were fully alive to the importance of the subject, and it bad received their serious attention for some time. They had had several meetings thereon, and Lard Morpeth's attention had been more especially devoted to the matter, with the view to the preparation of general measures proposed to be brought into Parlia ment early in the ensuing session. It was not to be sup posed that because the metropolis, and Scotland and Ire land, were omitted from the general measure proposed by Lord Lincoln, that they were intended to be passed over, but that the different cases requiring different machinery they should be subject to separate Acts. Mr. GRAINGER remarked that it was most essential to have some understanding on the subject of a general measure in the next session, as steps were being taken in various towns to apply for special local Acts, involv ing considerable outlay, which might prove to be utterly useless. There was a gentleman then present from one of those towns, where this course had been determined upon, where an expenditure of 2,000/. would be entirely thrown away if a general measure were obtained. Sir G. GREY stated that he had received a deputation from Sunderland, only the day before, who had come up to consult with him on this very point. They had already given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament for a local Act, and his advice had been to secure their position at any rate by complying with these forms, so that they might proceed, or not, with their Bill, as would appear necessary, but not to expend a single shilling beyond what was required for this purpose. It was now too late to give any further notices; but, to those towns which had already done so, his advice would be the same. The Rev. G. GIRDLESTONE remarked upon the un healthy condition of churches, schools, and other places of public assembly, from the wart of ventilation. In schools particularly great injury occurred to the health and advancement of the children from this neglect. As the evil could be most effectually and inexpensively re moved, he trusted that the subject would not be omitted in the provisions of a general measure. The Hon. F. BYNG called attention also to the dread ful state of the grave-yards. Lord MoaPETH stated his opinion that this should not be included in .he general sanatory measure, but should form the subject of a separate Act. Mr. TOYNBEE expressed his anxiety, as the represen tatiTe of mother ogioolotim formed of tin TICTICIDg
