' AMERICAN AFFAIRS NEW YORK, OCT. 31.—We are in the midst of preli minary arrangements for a strongly contested election in this state. On Tuesday, the 3d of November, the con test is to be decided. Both parties profess to be san guine. Ten days since I considered the chance of the Locofoco candidate for Governor decidedly the best, and I so stated in my letter to you; but I have changed my opinion as to the result with the change of the times. I now believe that the Whig candidate, John Young, has the best chance of success, and that he will be elected Governor of the State of New York. The Governor, however, is not the great prize for which the political parties are contending. The ques tion—and the important question—is, who shall have a majority of the Members of Congress from this state ? Because, in the next House of Representatives the tariff will be ander consideration, and the men to be elected next Tuesday will have to vote on that question. Be sides, from the convulsed state of parties, it is highly probable that the next President will be designated by the Congress now being chosen. If no one candidate for the office of President of the United States has a majority of all the electoral votes given, then the House of Representatives, in Congress assembled, shall proceed to elect a President, voting by states; that is to say, each state in the union shall have one vote, and no more. A majority of the representa tives in each state shall decide the vote of the state. Thus, you perceive, Delaware, with only one representa tive,-has the same power in deciding this question that New York has with her thirty-four representatives. Of the thirty-four representatives, I think the Whigs will have a majority. About one-third of the whole number of states have already chosen their members of Congress. In not one of the states who have voted has the Locofoco party gained a member; but, on the contrary, in the ten states which have elected, while the Whigs have gained ten, their opponents have lost fourteen members, viz.:— In the present Congress the Locofocos have, from Maine, Vermont, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Georgia, .iouth Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 55 members,' and the Whigs. 27 member ,e • while in the same States (the elections hivitig been - tele/70m Loco locos have 41 members and the Whigs 37. So far as the elections have progressed these are the results. The public journals which accompany this letter will afford you ample details of the movement of the Ameri can army. Since my last letter nothing of any importance has been heard from General Taylor ; but, as the Pre sident has ordered him to disannul the armistice which he entered into with General Ampudia, we may shortly anticipate some important movement in that quarter. During the last 48 hours our city has been filled with rumours, on which little reliance can be placed. It is said that General Santa Anna had arrived at Saltillo with an army of 13,000 troops, which, added to those under Ampudia, would embody a force exceeding 20,000 men. No confidence, or very little, is placed in this rumour. General Santa Anna may have left the city of Mexico, but not with an effective force of more than 4,000 bayonets. A Mexican brig of war, while lying in the port of Mazatlan, was captured by five launches from the Ame rican sloop of war Warren. As soon as the Mexicans discovered that they were to be attacked, they aban doned their vessel and fled. Oa the meeting of Congress early in December, it is generally supposed that the tariff of 1846 will be as saulted. If it is, there is not the least prospect of suc cess. And every attempt to procure a repeal, or a material alteration, will be defeated. Even if a Bill for such purpose should pass the House, which is highly improbable, it would be lust in the Senate. The tariff question may therefore be considered settled for at least 18 months to come : Congress at their last session authorised the calling out 50,000 volunteers to invade Mexico. Subsequently 25,000 were deemed ample, and their services to that extent were accepted. After the three actions that have been fought, the last the capture of Monterey, the im pression became general that the remaining 25,000 would be forthwith ordered into service. We are now told, however, that no further requisition will be made until after Congress have convened. This notification is given demi-officially, and has excited much inquiry and conversation in certain Administration circles. Every citizen gives his own explanation of the case. A majo ritymroandge to c e a ff u e s e e t the object the Governme nt has in view. I have a dif the Asememeriteoancoanrsmid)e. r is th a a k t e n a o dy fusru tffi heeriecnatlilyisst dif ferent opinion, which I will give you. The question recurs—What is the reason that the President does not make a demand upon the several states for an additional volunteer force? My reply is, because the Government is not prepared with the neces sary funds to meet such an event. When the war com menced there was in the Treasury 12,000,000 dolls. un employed, with a tariff in operation producing at least half a million of dollars per month more than all the de mands upon the Treasury in time of peace. In addition to which Congress authorised the issuing 10,000,000 of Treasury notes, bearing an interest of 6 per cent., or 10.000,000 of 6 per cent. stock. It is not yet six months since the war expenditures commenced, and what is the state of the Treasury? The expended—the whole of the r evenue collected since 12,000,000 of surplus is May is gone—about 3,000,000 of Treasury notes have been issued—and a war debt of at least 20,000,000 dolls. has been contracted and remains unpaid, to meet which he Government has a little short of 3,000,000 dolls. ; hus sho wing an actual expenditure of 40,000,000 dolls. THE MALT-STEALING CASE. ABINGDON, SATURDAY. This extraordinary investigation still "draws its slow length along ;" but every day elicits fresh facts and im plicates additional persons, while the interest and exite inentconsequent upon the discovery of so systematic and wholesale a robbery have been much enhanced within the last few days by the arrest. of two highly respectable brewers of Oxford, named Miller and Evans, who are now in custody, and under examination with the other prisoners at the justice-room, before Mr. B. Collingwood mayor of this borough, Mr. Alderman Hyde, Mr. W. D. Belcher, Mr. E. J. Trendell, and Mr. J. Copeland The examinations are conducted by Mr. Frankum, the clerk to the magistrates, and the following are the names of the prisoners:--B eijamin Blagrove, 50, Joseph Edney, 65, James Edney, 30, John Seymour, 45, William Pead, 24, George Bowler, 34, Joseph Dutton, 24, John Haezell, 23, Charles Trinder, 30, John Huggins 39, elelyn Huggins, 40, George Heycroft , 34, -William Hazen, 60, Richard Jones, 35, George Peck, 22, Thomas Prior, 30, and Thomas Giles, 40, who are charged as the stealers; and William Miller, 31, Joel Evans, 40, and Will:am Westbrook, 34, as the receivers. The examination, which commenced on the Ist of October, originated in a somewhat singular manner, :affording another proof how "strange events from little causes spring.' Some time in September a farmer, named Badeock, addressed Mr. Fowler, maltster, of this town, and congratulated him on the extensive business he was doing. Fowler replied, that he believed he had his share. Badcock rejoined, he should think more than his share to be at work all night, and sending malt out at three or four o'clock in the morning. Fowler expressed his ignorance of such a fact, when Badcock told him that he had himself seen his horse and cart out at that early hour, with two of his men. This circumstance caused inquiries to be made, the result of which was that Blue grove was identified as one of the men who had been seen with the cart, and he was taken into custody, when he made statements which led to the detection of other persons, his confederates in crime, and to the exposure of as extraordinary a case of plunder carried on without detection for the long space of six years as was ever pre sented before a court of justice. Blagrove is what is called a general dealer. Jones and Pead were confiden tial servants to Miss Spendlove, a wealthy lady, who has a large malting-house and brewery ; the Edneys and Trinder being in the employ of Mr. Fowler. It appears that large quantities of malt, hops, and coals, were taken from the premises and consigned to Blagrove, who, with the assistance of the other prisoners always managed to dispose of them, sometimes by re moving the property in boats down the river in the dead of the night, taking it away in hired carts, or conveying it to some hiding-place until opportunity occurred to more profitably dispose of it. Blagrove purchased from time to time the silence and assistance of his subordi nates by money, but it would seem did not find his chief tainship to be of a very enviable kind, as he was con tinually threatened by one or the other unless he yielded to their pecuniary demands. Strange and almost incredible as it may seem, Bla grove on several occasions absolutely had the impudence and hardihood to sell the very property which he had stolen at the current marketable price to the parties of whom it had been stolen. Upwards of forty witnesses have been examined at great length, but the above is an outline of the case, which is now nearly brought to a conclusion, as far as regards the preliminary inquiry. The evidence affect ing Mr. Miller is chiefly his own statement, made in the presence of the other prisoner, which is as follows: — William Miller—l am a brewer in St. Ebbe's-street, Oxford. I have known Blagrove since the 27th of Ja nuary last, when he came to my brewery and inquired for me. I was not at home, but he showed my brewer a sample of malt which he was selling. He called again when I was at home, and produced some malt in a sample bag which he said he would sell me cheap, and that I should have five quarters for 131. I said, I thought I had sufficient malt by me, but I would give him 121. 10s. for it. Ile said he could not take that, but ultimately agreed to do so, saying that Mr. Evans would give more for it, but he (Blagrove) wanted ready money. I went with him, my man, and a horse and cart to the Folly bridge wharf, where the malt was measured. The first bushel was very filthy, and I said it had not been screened at all. I said to Blagrove, " I think there is something wrong, are you sure you are doing right in selling me this?" He replied he was, " for he had it from a man who owed him money, and he had to take it in the dust, or he would not have got it at all." The whole of the malt was about ten sacks, which was taken on my truck to my rnalthouse in St. Aldate's, by Jackson, my man. I paid Biagrove in gold and sil ver. It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when this occurred. There was a man with Blagrove, to whom, I think, he gave part of the money. On the 29th of July Blagrove came to my malthouse again, and said he had a pocket of hops and some malt he would sell me ; would Igo and look at it ? I went with him to the Anchor Inn, and saw the malt in the stable. I asked how much there wa .. He said, " Five quarters end a half, and a pocket of hops." He asked me 241. for the lot. I refused to buy them, and went home. lie followed me, and said, if I would buy them he would have a few barrels of beer, as he thought he c elle get one a customer or two in Abington. After a few words a bargain was struck that I should have them for 211.; Blagrove to have a barrel and a half of ale and one barrel of strong beer, the remainder to be paid in cash. I then went with him and my man to the Anchor, and fetched away the malt and hops in my truck. While we were removing Blagrove said, " Have you any silver, a o - m c r . g7n l ? did — I % s v o a , n o e t s o a a y k i - c t i Mr. Miller?" I said, " Yes." a you fno and hops and gwiavreemhoeushealrfo hops home to my brewery. I gave Blagrove a cheque on Messrs. Wootton's bank for 151. 155., and he was to let me know when he would have the beer. He after wards eent word that he would take three barrels of b th e‘ e ‘ h‘oV m sitl a ll l e t r beer, which made a difference of 4s. 6d. in favour of Blagrove, to whom I afterwards sent the beer and 4s. 6d. by Mr. Payne's waggon. This bargain was re duced to writing, and signed by Blagrove, on a blank leaf of my brewing-book, and I have now a copy of it. These were the only two transactions I had with Bla grove. I did not understand how long the malt and hops had been at the Anchor, but from seeing him pay half-a-crown for the warehouse room, I thought it had been there some time. The evidence implicating Evans was that of Samuel Tyte, formerly hostler to Mr. Crozier, of the Wheatsheaf Inn, St. Aldate's, Oxford, who remembered Blagrove bringing malt to the Wheatsheaf, which was by year n T e sebumt people. a h lt a d t h n u Ee s vve b arn r o ss euegnh usedt htwi to come am f t e e t c aw h nh e ye d n other B, away ßlagrove gt time. put into sacks, and the empty ones taken away by Bla gwMraros.vEeth. Whiteing, the carrier, sometimes brought malt there for Evans. It was generally removed the same day. Bla grove brought a horse and cart there, with four sacks of malt, about six months ago. Witness never remem bered hops being brought there but once, obout five years ago. Blagrove always paid bim for his trouble. There were never less than two sacks brought at a time. Should think about twenty quarters had been brought there altogether. Witness never knew any one except Mr. Joel Evans's men take a w ay the m a l t brought by Blagrove. John Hambidge and Richard Brooks deposed to similar facts ; and Whiteing, the Oxford and Abingdon carrier, proved having taken malt in sacks to the Wheatsheaf for Blagrove and Evans. The prisoner Blagrove questioned all the witnesses in we'll have it right; I'll the most impudent manlier, interlarding his questions with such expressions as, " what a pretty figure you'll : Addressing the witness cut before the judge, if you go with that tale ;" drawwo n' t others transported id s n p aty o o, tiielted as sl y i dw m : y l is. Addressing l'yte, on " I'll keep you here until 10 o'clock at night. I'll put it in you worth the money to-morrow. I'll give it you tidy. If you swear until you are black in the face, you will only be a liar. I shall stand up before the judge from morning till night, so I tells ye." John Hazel' deposed, that Blagrove had frequently hired his horse and cart at a very early hour in the morning to remove mal t, which he told him on one occa sion came from Miss Sp endlove's, but there was so much there that it would not be missed. It is calculated that Biagrove has plundered to the amount of several hundred pounds. Mr. Branner, solicitor of Oxford, made application to admit Miller to bail, as he was prepared with sureties to the amount of 5,000/. or 6,0001. ; but under present circumstances the magistrates did not feel justified in doing so, NATIOZIAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26 , CORNHILL, LONDON.

Money must be obtained by loans. Here I pause—the subject is too delicate for comment. I will only add, our capitalists, in general, are unwilling to bud money to prosecute an unneces3ary war of aggres• sion and invasion, while they would cheerfully advance not only millions, but hundreds of millions of dollars, to defend their native land, and their own firesides. This subject shall be further noticed hereafter. I repeat what I said in my last in relation to flour. On the arrival of the steamer it took a rise of 50 to 75 cents, per barrel, but has fallen 25 to 30 cents. per barrel. The market has been heavy during the past week. Flour is now 5 85-100 to 5 95-100 per barrel. We have yet a large surplus on hand, which must be exported. The money-market continues steady, with a very mo derate demand. —7 ivies A GENEVESE TRAVELLER. S.

FROM NORTH GERMANY, Nov. 4.--We hear that ne.• gotiations have already commenced between Prussia and Hanover, for the purpose of concluding some arrange ments in common respecting trade and navigation. The President of the Board of Trade, Boerne, and Baron von Patow, are said to be very active in these negotia tions, on the part of Prussia, and interest themselves in favour of differential duties, because in their opinion these duties can only raise the commerce of Germany to the highest degree of prosperity. Under these circum stances, the commercial convention between Prussia and England, which will shortly expire, will most probably not be renewed on the present footing. FRONTIERS OF GALLICIA, Nov.

CH. hPEfNesMtivAeE celebration and N BA D OPENING OF THE TUNNEL AT (From t o h f e Carnarvone consequentH era/ d. ) upon Our report the opening of the r a il wa y t unne l through Penmaen Bach will be perused w ith d ee p i n t erest . Next to the erection of a bridge over the Menai Straits, that should be in every respect unobjectionable, the cut ting through the hard rock of a promontory, so formid able as Penmaen Bach, was considered to be the greatest difficulty in the construction of the entire line. Yet now —arid, as will be seen, in less than half the time origin ally contemplated as necessary—an opening has been effected through the very heart of the hill. Operations, thus successfully outstripping even the quick march of ardent expectation and sanguine hope, are deserving of marked encomium ; and, we feel as sured that neither the enterprising will that undertook the task, the engineering mind that presided over the operations necessary to effect it, nor the steady untiring toil by which it has been accomplished, can be too warmly eulogised. Contractor, engineers, and men, are alike deserving of all praise. The tunnel is a curve of about six hundred and thirty yards in length, being the arc of a circle of half a mile in radius. In other words its curve is between one-eighth and one-ninth of a circle a mile across—its curvature is therefore very gradual—in fact so gradual as to look like a straight line when inspected in detail from within. The span of the tunnel is ample, and its sides and roof are well and finely hewn, so as to present no unsightly ridges, or suggest the least idea of danger. The stone is hard, solid masonry of nature's own cementing—gigantic basaltic blocks, the anhydrous fused result of the creative power that has pervaded the bygone eternity : and their hard ness and intractability formed the prime difficulty in the undertaking. This difficulty was much increased by the impossibility of constructing shafts or openings from above. None but lateral openings could be brought to bear. Five openings, however, were driven sideways into the hill, and when the workings had reached that length which was deemed to indicate a junction with the line of the tunnel, double sets of men were put on to work away right and left. The result evinced the ac curacy of the observations that had been made ; and practice showed the trpth of the theory that guided it. In all the parts the Working proved correct, the different gangs meeting without the slightest fault.. Air and daylight are now dancing in the bosom of the mountain, holding their railway jubilee. The completion of the work is going on with vigour, for Mr. Cropper is not a man to rest too long upon his oars ; and we trust that the period will not be remote at which we shall have again the pleasing task of inspect ing the perforated hill to report the full completion of its tunnel. ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR.-011 Saturday, at the Lambeth Police-court, as the business was nearly dis posed of, Maria Rosina Cook, a young woman, dressed in the garb of a sailor, was brought in, and placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of attempting to destroy herself by swallowing a quantity of laudanum. John Constable, 43 L, deposed that about ten o'clock on that day, while on duty at the Tower-street station house, a person came in, and requested his immediate attendance at a coffee-house in the Waterloo-road, where a young sailor had poisoned himself. He instantly pro ceeded to the house, awl, finding the prisoner in a sroepy state, he went in pursuit of a in, dical man. The first shop he went into he was asked if it was not a young sailor who had destroyed himself ? and, on asking them why they should know the fact, they told him that a young sailor had been there a short time before to re quest three-pennyworth of laudanum, but they refused to serve him. lie subsequently removed the prisoner to Guy's Hospital, when the stomach pump was used, and she became sufficiently recovered to take her to the station-house, when he had the charge booked against her. From the statement she had made to him (the constable), it appeared that she was the daughter of a respectable veterinary surgeon, residing at Clutton, Som(r etshire, and having become enamoured of a pri vate soldier belonging to the 37th Regiment of Foot, she had left her home, and had latterly lived at Chatham, where her lover was quartered. The regiment had lat terly been ordered on foreign service, and was about to sail for Ceylon, and prisoner, discovering that the object of heraffections was to proceed thither by the ship Minerva, lying in the East India Dock, she sold her female appa rel, at a great sacrifice, and purchased the sailor's clothe she then had on. She then went to the registry for seamen, and procured a registry note in the name of David Cook. She next went on board the Minerva and offered herself to the captain as a cabin boy, but to her great mortification found that the captain had shipped all hands on board and therefore did not require her services. Foiled in her object in accompanying her lover she had resolved upon committing suicide, and her 417.4 :intoitiPpr wad to have thrown herself off one of the bridges ; this she should have-done„she said. had she not been told by a sailor boy that she brought with her from Chatham that the Thames was so excessively crowded with craft that the probabilities were that she would drop on to one of them, break her bones, and die a lingering death. She then made u p her mind to take poison, and procured a small quantity of poison at different shops, all of which she swallowed off with some coffee, before the constable found her. The witness here handed to the Bench a letter, which Mr. Norton read, and of which the following is a copy:— " Dear Thomas,—l have overstepped the bounds of prudence and modesty, in hopes of being able to reach Ceylon with you. I have put on boy's apparel and come to this sink of iniquity, London, to enter the " Minerva" as a boy, but when I got here, the captain had shipped all his hands. I have tried to get on board several ves sels, but cannot, on account of not being able to find money enough to provide enough of clothes to get to sea. I have sold all my own to get what I have on, and have no money to get others. I have no friends here, no plaee to go to—but I cannot blame anybody but my self! Think of me no more, Thomas, as it is useless — you will never see nor hear from me again. Remember, me to Harriet and Charles. Don't make yourself un easy about me. I have no more to say, but remain yours, till death, THE RELIEF WORKS in IRELAND.

Charles White said he was in a coffee-house in Waterloo-road that forenoon, and perceiving a strong smell of laudanum, he looked about to see if any person was taking any. Immediately after he saw the prisoner with her hand on the table, and in a drowsy state. He shook her up and asked her if she had taken anything, and she replied that she had swallowed poison. He then sent for the constable, and the prisoner was removed to Guy's HospitaL Mr. NORTON here remarked that he was not aware that the laudanum would have so instantaneous an effect upon a person taking it, and a medical gentle man present replied that it would not, particularly when taken in coffee. The constable said that the prisoner had acknowledged to him that when she had taken the laudanum she was so exhausted for want of rest, that she was scarcely able to hold her head up. The fact, she said, was, that she was so much alarmed about her sex being discovered that from the time she had put on her present apparel till the present she had not taken them off. On the Friday night she engaged a bed for herself and the sailor boy that was with her at the coffe-shop, and rather than take her clothes off and go to bed she sat in a chair all night. In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, she said she had seen the soldier, Thomas Gardner, three years ago, when he was with a recruiting party at Bristol; bat she had not left her home until six months ago, when she learned that he was in Newport, in Wales, and from there she had accompanied him to Chatham. She declared that it had been her fixed intention to destroy herself, and was very sorry that she should have been prevented; and added, that it was impossible to endure greater torture than that which she had experienced for the last three days. The prisoner, who is in her 20th year, must have been a very pretty girl, and who became the sailor's, dress exceedingly well, was ultimately remanded to a future day to give time to communicate with her friends.

The churchwardens state their intention of strictly carrying out the provisions of an Act of Parlia ment passed in August last, and they have appointed an inspector for that purpose. The Act in question gives the power to the churchwardens, upon the certificate of two medical men that a nuisance by drains, cesspools, or filth, which may be dangerous to the public health, exists in any lane, court, street, alley, or dwelling-house or building, to summon the parties before two of her Majesty's justices of the peace, who, upon being satis fied of the existence of either of the above offences, have authority to order the same to be removed, and the dwelling, &c., to be whitewashed, cleansed, or the nuisance abated in whatever way they may direct. This is to be done within a time enacted by the justices, and if not completed in that period the magistrates can em power the persons laying the complaint, by themselves or their servants, to enter the premises, and have all needful cleansing done, or directing the removal of all nuisances; and the Act provides that any one obstructing them in this act will be a liable to a penalty of 101., and not less than 21. for each offence. The second sec tion of the Act empowers the magistrate to give an order for all the costs and expenses incurred in any proceeding of the above nature, and upon non-payment an order of distress is to be issued on the goods of the owners or occupiers. When it is recollected the abodes of filth and misery there are in the lowest parts of West minster, it will be seen what good can be effected by a vigilant prosecution of this Act. Other parishes would do well to follow the example. FEARFUL CATASTROPHE.—A number of workmen were engaged on Saturday in shoring up and making secure , the shattered remnants of the Wheatsheaf public house, and Mr. Moore's toy-shop, Nos. 25 and 26, Rathbone-place, Oxford-street. The excitement conse quent upon the falling of the two houses in Middle-row, and the spacious building in the Old Jewry, had scarcely subsided, when the inhabitants of the locality referred to were dreadfully alarmed by the sudden and loud crashings of timber, followed by an immense fall of brickwork. &c., and succeeded by dense volumes of dust. Mr. T. W. Bye, with his wife and two females were in the bar at the time; and Mrs. Bye fainted away, but was rescued through the presence of mind of her husband, who carried her in his arms to the house of an opposite neighbour. Immediately after the first creaking of the timbers the two barmaids precipitately ran up stairs, in order to save some little valuables belonging to them, but they were met by such a mass of falling rafters and bricks that they were compelled to make a hasty re treat. While this was going on in Mr. Bye's house, his neighbour, Mr. Moore, was paralysed by the whole of the basement story of his house giving way. He and his family had a narrow escape, and they are all but totally ruined by the calamity. Mr. Bye's house presents a melancholy wreck. In the rear may be seen nearly twenty-seven tons of what appears to be rubbish; but perhaps the greatest thing to be lamented is, that buried underneath are some of the finest originals of the first masters. Amongst others is that of Lord Lovell and the Duchess of Somerset. The district surveyor, Mr. Baker, has been actively engaged in superintending the safety of the neighbourhood, and has already condemned five houses in the same locality.s Mr. Byes exertions will be long remem bered by neighbours, and de servedly so. He has been a member of the vestry, and filled some of the highest parochial offices; and to the discharge, perhaps, of his public trust may be attributed the presence of mind and nerve he displayed on this alarming occasion. WESTMINSTER ABBEY SPIRE, AND OTHER Ihi- PROVEMENTS.-'-We do hope that Dr. Buckland, who is, very properly, ever ready with suggestions for the re storation and amendment of other buildings, will now look at home, and lend his aid, as Dean of Westmin ster, to improve the Abbey church. Let him get rid of some of the monstrous specimens of bad stone-ma sonry which now disfigure and injure it, giving parts of it the appearance of a statuary's show shop rather than that of a Christian temple. The ancient monuments should be carefully looked to and maintained, and Henry Seventh's Chapel, both inside and outside, requires immediate attention. As regardsful that the con Wren, struc tion of: the spire , we ou g ht to be grate great artist as he was in other respects, was not com missioned to effect it ; and almost equally so in the case of James Wyatt, who in later times also reported upon it. There would be much less chance of the removal of an incongruous disfigurement, such as would certainly have been placed there, than there is now of a spire being commenced. We would gladly contribute to remedy the mischief Wren did at the west end.—The Builder. lIEREFORD.—Mr. William H. Cooke, of the Ox ford circuit, has been appointed, by the Dean and Canons of Hereford, to succeed the late Sir Charles Wetherell .as counsel to that cathedral. Total ... ... 150,268 STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, NOV. 13.—We have no change to report in the foreign wool trade this week, either as regards sales or prices. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, NOV. 13.—Sales of English wool have not varied materially for the last few weeks. They are very small ; and confined to the supply of the immediate requirements of the manufac turers. Prices are nominally the same as last week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 12.—There has been rather more doing in long wool this week which has created a firmer feeling with holders, and late quo tations have been better sustained. Short wool is not heavy in stock, and maintaias its price, with an average business doing in it. TRADE OF LEEDS.—At our Cloth Halls, on Satur day, there was about an average quantity of goods sold, in comparison with the markets of the last six weeks ; but on Tuesday, there were more goods taken than for some time ; on the whole, however, the markets rule dull for the season, and the manufacturers complain heavily of the want of profit. Prices are steady. Al though there have not been many buyers in the town this week, more goods have been delivered to the car riers than has been the case of late. IIECKNONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, Nov. 12. There has been a good attendance of buyers cn Monday and to-day, and good samples were readily bought with out any alteration in prices. BRADFORD MARKET, TRURSDAY, NOV. 12.—There is no alteration in the demand for word. Stocks are sufficient and prices extremely firm. Spinners are working completely up their stocks of wool, thinking that prices will come down. For clothing wools there is a fair demand. The yarn market is the same as it has been for two or three weeks past. The spinners are considerably curtailing their productions. A good deal of apprehension seems to exist in the spinning trade. We have, however, this consolation, that to all present appearances there never were so few black sheep in the trade, and if the spinners and manufacturers are not just now making fortunes, there is not that anxiety that we have seen at this season respecting men's solvency. There was a fair attendance of merchants in the mar ket, and an average business done. A great number of manufactures are busy manufacturing goods with silk stripes. Heavy goods, such as moreens, are in firm de mand—prices firm. A number of manufacturers have heavy stocks in dress goods. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING —Our cloth market has become exceedingly irregular, and also, if anything, less business doing, though there are plenty of manufacturers who are disposed to quit stock in the face of a very large reductio❑ in the produce. Very good printing cloth is in fair demand, and the printers, ou the whole, tolerably well employed. Every packet from the United States brings extensive orders, other wise we should have been unusually fiat and depressed. The market, on the whole, closes anything but brisk. Yarns are also heavy sale, but we think not lower, espe cially for first qualities. ~~ ~~ ~/ / ~% PUBLICATIONS.

The lives of three of the workmen employed on the line have been sacrificed : their names are Charles Bailey, Daniel Dibler, and Francis Kimber. On viewing the spot, it was found that the ponderous mass of brick work had entirely given way, the ruins of which a num ber of workmen were engaged clearing away. It was reported that the remains of other workmen would be found baried in the ruins, but this has turned out to be incorrect. Several workmen, however, are now lying in a precarious condition owing to the accident. The par ticulars of this melancholy occurrence will be best given from the information gathered in the neighbourhood, and the evidence given at the inquests held on the un fortunate deceased. The inquest on Dibler and Kimber was held on Friday evening, at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, before Mr. J. J. Blandy, Coroner for Reading; and that on Bailey, at the Horns, Mortimer, on the same day, before Mr. R. Clarke, the county Coro ner. It appeared that for some weeks past the arch had been pronounced to be in a dangerous state, and in consequence, on the day previous to the inquests, the deceased, in company with seve ral others, according . to the testimony of a fellow workman named William Coston, who was the prin cipal witness at both inquests, were sent to remove the bricks from the arch erected over the railway, and while engaged in taking off the parapet wall at the top of the archway, the arch suddenly gave way, and the deceased, with others, fell in with the ruins. Bailey was not ex tricated till within half an hour afterwards, quite life less. Medical assistance was procured, and it was found that there was, besides many bruises on his head, a f ra cture of the skull. The cause of death was attributed to suffocation. Dibler was taken out in ten minutes after the occurrence in a state of insensibility, and was taken to the hospital at Reading, a distance of eight miles, bnt died within an hour atter his admission. Mr. James Dunn, house surgeon, made a post mortem exami nation of the body, and found the skull was fractured, as well as the brain and nervous system injured, .which produced death. The other deceased, Kimb er, survi.ved till the following morning (Friday), w hen he expired after considerable bodily suffering. A verdict in each case was returned of " Accidental Death," b u t not with case l w a i b le out some strong remarks from the jury on the wcu y u peon_ tractors with regard to the erectio n of brid ges neglect, as well as the respo nsibi l ity of th;rail line, as no less than four lives ha ve been l osbe and much re t ar ded from their falling in along the feasdoaother a ccidents occasioned , as well as the wo this l r m. is sym pathy' is expressed fo r the other nor e suffe _tuna i not , t jltich i : e. whose condition , at present, we aro glad to learn, s altogether hopeless. ai); ;L e ils i r n o:. n r o \ r \4 contemporary, referencel'lltouct:h paragraphelr re o la r tiv L e t .r c o the iwhichtsT r f o R r mation . of a permanent committee for the control of the financial affairs of the Duchy of Lancaster, we understand that the scheme had been in contemplation for a considerable time previous to the change of Ministry ; and that in thus assimilating the practice to that in force in the Duchy of Cornwall, the sole object was to ensure a full and competent super vision of the revenues without in any way interfering with the political management or patronage of the Duchy.

PORTSmOCTH, SUNDAY.—Tier Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal Family,will, according to present arrangements, revisit Osborne on Tuesday next for a short sojourn. The Fairy yacht is in readiness to re ceive the Royal party. The Channel squadron, under Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., was off Lisbon on the Bth inst. A pri vate letter says, " The country is at present in a very disturbed state, and there is every chance of its remain ing so for some time. Lisbon is quite in a state of blockade by land, and no one is permitted to go outside the lines. The squadron is still here, and there is no chance of itaistribution; on the contrary, we expect to be reinforced. The America, 50, Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, sailed yesterday to take her station off Corunna. The Gladiator steam frigate, Captain Robb, is ordered off to Oporto, to protect British interests there. The Cyclops steam-sloop, Captain Lapidge, remains with us. Co lonel Wylde has proceeded to the performance of his mission.

The Terrible has brought home all the supernum erary marines from the Channel squadron, She went i n t o B arnpool, and landedt those belonging to the Plymouth division. Sh e w ill proceed to Portsmouth and Woolwich with the re mainder. She has some defects in her machinery. This vessel sailed from Malta on the 4th of October, at half past three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Gib raltar on the morning of the 9th, having on board 940 bags of bread, 116 puns. of rum, 10 half-hogsheads of suet, 60 barrels of peas, 200 half hogsheads of cocoa, and 37 chests of tea. The distance ran over from Tetuan to Malta was 1,000 miles in 944 hours ; the average rate was 10-5 knots per hour, with two boilers, only half steam, both in going to and coming from Malta. The wind being ahead the sails were not used ; her expendi ture of coals was 194 tons, giving 5.1 knots for each ton of coals used ; the coals were very bad, which caused the consumption to be about 20 tons more than it would have been with good coals, as it would then have been only 174 tons. By this it will be seen that the Terrible is not so expensive as the lesser steam vessels of 250-horse power, which burn two tons per hour, and only go from eight to nine knots, the Ter rible only hentittrene - ton for 5.1 knots per hour... . going over 730-miles, to keep company with the Retrif. bution, the time occupied was 90i hours; in going ever the same distance alone, with two boilers, only half steam, it was 71 heurs, notwithstanding the deep immer sion of the ship, and her being out of trim, by the pro visions she had oa board, in addition to her full complement of coals, of which she was short only about 50 tons. The Terrible, since leaving Spithead, has steamed nearly 9,000 miles, and sailed alone, without steam, more than 46 days, which has caused a great saving of expense in fuel, and, notwithstanding what her enemies may have asserted. she has cost less in building and fitting for sea than either the Retribution or the Avenger, which vessels are some hundreds of tons less, and only carrying guns on one deck—the Terrible car rying very heavy guns on two decks, a much greater quantity of coals, and double the quantity of shot. powder, and shells. Her sailing qualities have been so well proved that it only remains to remove her lower floats from the wheel, and she is equal, if not superior, to many real sailing men-of-war, and would show an advantage over them in pursuing the enemy's fleet, by putting on her floats and getting up her steam. From her speed she would soon come up with and disable their rear, so as to enable the English line-of-battle ships to come up and bring them to action ; and then be found of the greatest importance to a fleet in towing a bad sailing ship up to a fleet, or a disabled ship from the line of battle when incapable of performing her duty. The Avon steam-surveying vessel, Commander Den ham, arrived at Devonport on Thursday evening from the coast of Africa, whereon she has been employed sur veying. She is last from Sierra Leone, and reports the station and squadron healthy. The command of the America, 50, vacant by the re tirement of Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, has been con ferred upon Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, 1837, who was commander of the Tweed on the north coast of Spain during the civil war, 1836 and 1837; Captain of the Wellesley, and commanded her seamen and marines in quelling an insurrection on the coast of Malabar in 1833; in the operations on the coast of Sinde, and in the Persian Gulf, 1839; and those on the coast of China, including the capture of the forts of the Bocco Tygris, and operaticns against Canton, and commanded a bri gade of seamen at the taking of that city. Wt s flag Captain at the taking of Chusan in 1840, and Amoy and Chinghae in 1841. In our remarks upon the promotion of Lieutenant Lord Amelius Wentworth Beauclerk to the rank of Commander on Saturday, we erroneously stated his Lordship was a son of Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk. It sliould have been nephew. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 14.—The Terrible, Captain Wil- Itanaey, beating the broad pennant of Sir James John Gerdon Bremer, ceme in here 7,esterclay morning from Lisbon. Left the Tagus at 9 in the evening of :Anday last, the Bth inst. The Alal quis of Chandos, who ha- had a three months' cruise in her, landed on her arrival, and posted to town immediately after clear ing at the Custom-house. Hur 1 :justy's steam-ship Terrible brings home be te, en 600 and 700 supernurnri wry marines, and about 60 70 invalids from the squadron. She is spoken of in very high terms, and woui,i probably have made the pas sago from Lisbon to Plymouth in 72 hours but fur an accidental Fr .eture of the entablature of her larboard engine, in the Bay of Biscay, just after passing Cape Fin isterre. IV hen under canvass ‘s ith the fleet she beat the Queen, Rodney, Albion, and other sailing ships, and was excelled only by the Trafalgar and superb. The Confianco. steamer, Mr. Jagoe master, has taken from the Terrible all the supernumerary marines belong ing to the Stonehouse division. The Terrible goes from this port to Woolwich, where, and at Portsmouth, she will land the marines attached to the divisions stationed at those places: Her Majesty's screw .steamer Encounter, without ma chinery, and under canvass, in charge of Mr. Davey, Assistant-Master-Attendant, left Pembroke Dockyard the same day as her Majesty's sloop Mariner, 16, in charge of Mr. Mills, Assistant Master-Attendant, mid arrive:l here three days before her. The sloop is a sharp-bo toured vessel, built according to the plan of Captain Symonds. The steamer is built for the recep tion of machinery, wall-sided, and flat-bottomed, but sharp at tae bow. If any weight is to be attached to this trial, it completely explodes the pre conceived notion of sharp bottoms and swift sailing. The Mariner is bound to this dockyard. The Encounter is gone up Channel. WOOLWICH, Nov. 14.—The Amphion, 36-gun frigate, Captain Williams, is to be taken into dock before finally leaving this port. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., is taking her coals on board, and is expected to leave next week.f or Portsmouth. Tire Geyser steam-vessel, Commander Brown, will leave Woolwich about the 20th inst. for the East Indies. She is to be supplied with a 10-feet gun of 75cwt. on her main deck. The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant Lysaght, ap pointed to her, vice Hawker promoted, was undocked on Monday, and is ready for sea. It is expected she will sail for the coast of Africa in a day or two. The Lightning, Mr. Pettey, Master-Commander, left on Wednesday, for Sheerness, to bring up a receiving ship to this port. Captain Sir Edward Parry, Controller of the Steam Department at the Adm iralt y , is a pp ointed Superin tendent of the Royal Clar ence Victuallin g - y ard at Gos port, vice Ellice.
