At half--past eight this morning the United States Mail Steam Ship Atluntic, Captain West, arrived in our river with 110 passengers, 382,000 dollars in specie on freight, and the semi-weekly mails from the United States and British America, to the 16th in stant inclusive, on which day at noon the Atlantic left New York. The Royal. Mail Steamer America bad r:rived out at Boston. The steam ships Sierra Nevada and Illinois had arrived at N ew Y or k f rom C a lifornia, with two mil lion dollars in gold dust, but no later news from the golden state than that previously to hand, and brought to this country by the Canada on Sunday last. Two great meetings had bean held in New York on the subject of Cuba; one in Broadway en the 13:h, and the other in Tammany Hail on the 14th.

A good inquiry for naval stores, with a slightly better rate of quotations. Freights were unaltered as to value either to Lon don or Liverpool ; but there was a little more inquiry, and business looked brisker in that department. Foreign exchange was in good request : bills on London at 110= to noi ; Paris, 5.121 to 5.134. The money market was easier, and the rates of discount a trifle lower. FRANCE.

SPAIN. THE SUN, Madrid journals and correspondence of the 21st inst. have arrived. The Court had returned to Madrid from an excursion to Ponton de la Oliva. The Royal family had expressed themselves highly satisfied with the works for bringing a fresh supply of water to the capital : it is stated by the engineers that they will be in Effective Operation within two years and thus the want of water, from which the inhabitants have often suffered, nill no longer be felt. The fortress of the Mole, at Mahon, was duly in augurated on the 10th inst. by the Captain-General of the Baleric Isles, the Bishop of Minorca, and other authorities, who arrived there on that day in the Piles steamer. The Bishop performed service in the church, round which the troops were drawn up, and blessed the flag, which the Captain-general himself pl&ced on the bulwarks, addressing the troops at the same time. A general salute of 200 guns was then tired ; the gar r i son h a d extra ra ti ons on th e occasion; and a substantial dinner was provided for 1,400 Isbourers, who had been working at the fortifications. Toe new fortress is named after the Queen. Madrid Bourse, Oct. 21.—The Three per Cents., 4 1 7:-,1; Exchange on London, 50 30 paper. GERMANY. The representatives of Bavaria, Saxony, Hesse Cassel, and Hesse Darmstadt had already arrived in Vienna, for the opening of the new customs confer ences, and the plenipotentiaries of the other Germany Governmccts who have been invited, were expected shortly. The conferences will probably commence at the close of this month. The Minister for Foreign Affairs is said to have given his full assent to the political schedules drawn up in the trade department. The system of the customs union, as contained in the documents of 1849 and 1850, is to be so far modi fied that a customs union may be entered into with all the German states which agree with the propo sition as early as the Ist January, 1854. The state ment that Austria has declared herself ready to con clude a customs union convention with the Darmstadt allies, to guarantee to them the fixed amount of their present customs revenues, and to open its own fron tiers on the lit January, 1854, is again brought for ward in a more decided form. The intelligence announcing that the Prince Pre sident of the French Republic had resolved to accept the Empire produced so profound a sensation in the highest circles in Berlin, that all the Ministers who were in the capital at the time immediately held a Cabinet council, and dispatched a courier with all haste to the King. His Majesty came to the capital in the evening (of the 24th) accompanied by Baron Mauteuffel, and a council was again assembled for the purpose of definitively drawing up the instructions which are to be given to Count Von Hatzfeld, his 4ajesty's Ambassador at Paris. Intelligence has been received in Berlin from Brunswick which is extremely vexatious to the Prus sian Zollverein. It appears that Brunswick has suf fered itself to be carried over to the side of Austria, and that, like Hanover, it has determined to observe an•expectant attitude. It is certain that Brunswick has refused, up to this moment, to renew a customs treaty with Prussia. It will send a plenipotentiary to the conferences at Vienna—not to take part in the discussions, but to be present there as a reporter. It is talked of in Berlin to withdraw from circula tion the existing paper money, and to replace it by another paper; for it is considered desirable that there should he only one kind of paper money in cir culation. The change will probably be introduced at the beginning of tae year. Hamburgh has been visited last week by two delegates from a wealthy and influential English com pany, who, in conjunction with some Dutch capita lists, have resolved to effect a desired railway com munication to Bremen, Oldenberg, Lur, Groningen, Leuwarden, and Harlingen ; and thus to connect Hamburgh by the shortest possible route to Holland, and also to England. From Groningen a branch line will be laid down from Zwulle to Utrecht, to join the Netherlands Rhenish line, which latter con nects Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The importance of the projected line (says the Hamburgh Borsenhalle) to the whole of Northern Germany and of Holland is so self-evident, that it is scarcely necessary to name it. It is, therefore, per fectly natural that the said delegates received most binding assurances from our public authorities to do everything to forward the undertaking, similar pro mises have already been given by the Netherlands, Oldenbergh, and Bremen authorities. It is much to be wished that Hanover would act equally favourable to the project, and that the concession asked for by the company may be granted with as little delay as possible.

But the iS, that the affair is become a national question. die : Turkish people, says our correspondent, have preju anil repugnance& that the will of the Sovereign ittatlonot overcome, and the Turks have so false an idea,..of roe rc 'ge loan, that it is not in the power of the Govern .._lnutireto make them comprehend the advantages of this "e'uancial resource; it may be done eventually, but it will quire many years to do it. As to the means of satis the exigences of the moment, our correspondent ay that it is hoped to do so by the aid of gifts and vo luntary , al ter 'cans. The Sultan has set the example, and having emptied his private treasury he sent all his Plate to the Mint to be melted. The Minister of Finance Was this last sacrifice in declaring that the situation ~.as not desperate enough to have recourse to such ex- Z_eMities ; that the embarrassment was only,temporary, - 1 ," (1 might be got over by a little good-will. The Grand iz; .r and five or six of the richest pachas of the capital have followed the example of the Sultan, and have offered 40 millions of piastres (14 millions of francs) each, and fiend mpany o f lour A rmen i an b ankers have engage d to will 40 millions of piastres at 6 per cent. These sums du suffice to p a y th e d ra f ts o f t h e b an k w hi c h h ave come "c• An equal sum will be required in 20 days, and in order to procure them certain receipts are calculated on, ;' s wPll as en an ti c ip at i on o f t h e payment o f th e tr ib ute e ;ona the Paella of Egypt, to request which Moukter 100 37 was sent to him on the 9th. M. de Lavalette, who has taken up the defence of the loan very warmly in s upport o f t h e F renc h i nterests engaged in the operation, had had daily conferences with the Turkish Ministers on t he subject, but all his arguments were not sufficient to convince them. The Turks will not have the loan. This grave financial question has absorbed every other, and for the last week every other affair had been suspended. As soon as it shalt have been settled, the reorganisation of the Cabinet will b© attended to. The Grand Vizir appears decided on making numerous changes. The persons destined to form part of the new Cabinet were already spoken of, and among them were several men of known talent. It is expected that the nominations will be made between the 15th and 20th inst.

Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution ' said the prisoner formerly kept a rec eivic g -house at Wal worth, but it was removed from his shop in consequence of his being unfortunate in business. He subsequently applied to the Postmaster-General for employment, and was engaged as assistant letter-carrier in Lambeth; and it was while he was so employed that he stole the letter containing the post-office order, which he succeeded in getting cashed. He was sorry to add that this was not the only offence of the same hind committed by the prisoner. The Chief Baron intimated that ho would postpone passing sentence.

WOODEV'S " CARPET BAG.' - - A deligh4ul entertainment is now being given nightly by Mr. W. S. Woodin—a gentleman hitherto unknown to any audience in the metropolis—at the charming little theatre once popular as the " A elelaido Gallery," and recently frequeated ac the arena of the Marionettes. As we had the gratification of ourselves witnessing on Monday evening the skill of MT. Woodin, ce a caterer to the public taste for amusement, we can speak authori tatively of his very genial humour and really surprising abilities. Since the famous " Evenings at Home," of good, wry-faced, limping, merry-conceited old Charles Mathews, we have had nothing at all comparable to the " Ceepet Bag end Sketch-Book" of our young Polypho fist. We say this without without rely disparagement for Love—for Love is principally admirable for his mar vellous powers of ventriloquism. Love, for the most part, surpasses others mainly by his astounding capacity end ansfz'ng, edroitness in the more eccentric class of vocal imiations. He will bring clearly before you every el) , that can to heard the fatm•yerd, as clearly as ever could rogunini on that one miraculous string of his sidle. Charles Lamb used to say of Menden, that ho understood a leg of mutton in its quiddity." And so may we say of Love, that he seems to have penetrated re rally us Asop himself, the mysteries of the language squeaked, grunted, chirped, hummed, quacked, gabbled, lerrkel, or mewed, by the vari ous denia , nce of the enimel, the bird, or the ineect kingdons. He will g:ve you a bee in a bottle as you might fancy could only be done by a bee in a bottle itself. He will describe the whole of a tight between a couple of dogs—fierce, fast, and furious—until you shall really begin to have serious thoughts about hydrophobia. It is in this way that Love continues, to eve mind, alto gether to this moment unrivallee, But Woodia's talents are of a totally different character. He dcas entirely what Love attempts only, so to speak, incidentally. He represents in his own person a whole mob of imagi nary personages. One feels inclined to read the Riot Act to him, as Sir Walter Scott seid he felt disposed to do when he first listened to Alexandre. Never was such a Proteus! Captain Absolute was nothing to him. lad as for Cerherus—here is a head that seems to be multi plied, not by three, but thirty. Mr. Woodin possesses, in truth, a flexibility in the features and an adaptability in the organs of erticulation, that must prove to every visitor to his entertainment, matter for absolute astonish- We should like much to know the opinion enter ained in regard to his bumps of imitation by some practised phrenologist. The very character of these entertainments et the Marionette's Theatre is siogolarly clover, and distengteshed, moreover, by the somewhat rare merits of being both novel and diversificl. Uron one side of the stage is the customary desk and lamps of a lecturer. Opposite these there is propped up against the wall a gigantic carpet bag, such as ono might expect our old friend Blunderbore would carry, supposing he should aver take it into his head to pay a visit t o his cousins in the land of Brobdignag. In the back ground, or, as they say in the prompter's books, in the flat ap pears a sketch-boob of correspondingly vast dimensions, Furnished with these accessories, Mr. Woodin talk s to his audience pleasantly over the top of the desk, t e lli ng them all sorts of queer anecdotes—especially that one of the speculator, who was driven by untoward circuta stances to be at once " money-taker " and " concert 't— end flings at tho heads of his hearers from between the two lamps as many quips, cranks, and puns, as M. Robert Houdin used to toss out of his hat showers of toys, flowers, and bonbons. The puns, in particslar, were pelted at us unmercifully on Monday night —some of them, too, so excruciatingly good or (which is rretty much the same thing) so deliciously execrable! Thr)ugh out the evening, moreover, the magic stetah book in the back ground was continually dis closing a new pi cture of some old familiar spot in or near the metropolis —showing sometimes really very rceritoi:- ons powers on the part of Mr. Woodin as an artist, powers more particularly visible, we may remark, in the paintings of the Tower of London and of the Hospital at Greenwich, of One Tree Hill, and of the view at Rich mond. Besides all this—rather, w© should say, immea surably beyond all this—there aro the vocal end visual illustrations or impersonations, which constitute the chief delight of the entertainment. Under new names, we meet with a store of old acquaintances, Tiere is the servant of all work, Martha Mivias. who )as (we are sure of it) lineally descended from Miss Migga, being, moreover, a blood relation (we are °Peal)) of Suran Nipper. Then there is Sir L'oejamin Bangle, with Las cap ital stories, the point of which he cover can reaolket, any more than the gentlemen in cloth too:s, who split the evening at Bob Sawyer's lodgings i t Lent-street, mentioned towards the close of the histoaan's narrative of the career of the immortal Pickwick. As to Major Bluster, who is never to Fa humbuggcl PS an old tra venal., lie is unquestionably a brother in arms of Arthur O'Leary, if he has not ham a'so on bowleg t -rms with both Major Bagstork and T.Aajor. Pendeinis. No doubt, again, that Mr. Sampson Rusty has diccd before now, ripping wine and cracking walnuts, with that LJne.st old drysalter, Ephraim Herdcastle. Little Mrs. Muddle', also, wonderful little Mrs,. Muddle, must, ,e would wager, traae her genealogy on one tide to the flaiily of Miss Mowcher, of corn-cutting renost 1 1 , and on the other to that of worthy Mrs. Jarl e y, o f wax • wo rh celebr'ty. ran Binnacle is, in another way, a very aca3rate copy horn one of those genuine old of iginals," rho Greenwich pensioners. But what shall we say, waist can we pos sibly say, of the oldest inhabitant—good, gentle, bene volent Mr. Oliver Olds,yle? What --but that it is a creation, and a very beautiful one, moreover. The song sung by Mr. Woodin in this character is charmingly clever, and we doubt not must command a wide and lasting popularity. With t h ese mater i a ls, and an operatic illustration, the first part of the entertainment is brought to a conclusion--the operatic ill u stration, by the way, being (although with several capital hits in it) rather too much of an extravagance. In the second and cora eluding part, we learn, through a hamoarous ditty— admitting, notwithstanding, its drollery of some judici ous curtailment—ell about the sorrows End calamities befalling Mr. Tobias Traddles (no relation of Tom) on the occasion of his visit to th e me tropolis, to see the Great Exhibition. Other "country COLISite aro as tonished atter a different fashion, by a comic beef-eater at the Tower, spoken of in the programme, as " a well known personage." Added to these impersonations, we have a capital specimen of a S-otchmen, in Sandie MtWhittle—trollng off among other things with the " butt," the whole of Macbeth's soliloquy. Then there comes a full-length portrait of a Yankee elippr, true to to the life; and then of Mr. Cavil, quite es true; and yet others in the fat ma of Mr. and Mrr. Lapsus Linger—the latter always having slips of the tongue (even in stoging) and the former living entirely in the midst of the event,s, of the reign of Cromwell. And so with " vo cal and visual,, accounts of the pl e asures of a picnic, the "Carpet Hag and tho Sketch Book" are both shut up by the entsrunner, who is anything bat shut up himself,seeing that t h ereu p on crowns his very singular performance by wonderfull y admirable imit a tions of the Lions of London —speaking identical manner with the exact voice, and the manner of Albert Smitlaand Henry Russell, and Wright,. and Compt on , en d B uc kstono. A pleasanter entertain ment we don't know of, at this moment, any where in Lond on or Westminster. Its merits will soon, we doubt n o t, b ecome m ore generally appreciated. The " Carpet Bag" must, indeed, in the COWS() of things, ex tend its popularity, and, by so doing, tend to establish Mr. W. S. Woodin's reputation. THE LATE TOTNES ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR Of THE FM Snt,—l perceive there is lit paragraph in your paper of Saturday refer ;log to the late Totnes Election, taken t. ona Woolmer's Exeter Gazette (a very questionable autho rity on such matters).

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXXV. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, WITH THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW. In weather the most unpropitious, and on ground the most sodden, was decided the great race of the meeting yesterday. The rac in g commenced with the 501 Plate for two-years-old and upward!, over the last three miles of the B. C. Morning Star, with Evening Star, Tickto n , and Maria, in close contiguity, raced to the Duke' s Stand, where all had had enough but Maria and Tickton; and was ed 5 the latter then took a slight lead, who, however, c hallen had no g t the o yards from home by M aria, shadow of a chance, for Tickton went pest the post pull ing double, although winning by only a neck. Morning Star was beaten nearly a score of lengths; and , Waver ley lost the third place by something like halt-a-dczen lengths more. The remain der, including Evening Star, Petri!, and the Assault colt, unable to move in the dirt, were left far behind. The winner's easy victory found him a new owner at 300 guinea s, which, I tancy, he is well worth. In the race for the 10 SON'S. SIVC;epSteISEE over the Cri toion course, Oid Rowiey cut out the work until halt wa,y up the cords, where Guy 11,nnering took the lead, and won cleverly by half a length; Woccildna ffnishing a good third and la4t. The great race of the day next came on for decision, and 31 competitors camp to the post to aiuggle for superiority, no less than a dozen finding backer. in the ring. They got off well together at the first attempt, and ran, in a compact Cody, to within 100 yards of the Duke's Stand, without any toiling of consequence having taken place. This was too result of the badness of the pace. At this point, however, it commenced with a vengeance, the held being, in a very little time, scattered all over the course. Just before reaching the Duke's Stand, Hobbie Noble, clearing his horses, took a-head of two lengths, which be maintained for a short distance, when the Knight of the Shire, who bad been running very forward, came out, passed him in a few strides, went on by himself, and won with great ease by a couple of lengths ; Hobbies Noble beating Lady Evelyn, who had been gradually drawing to the front for the last dis tance, by a length and a half. Babette was a good fourth, a short half length dividing her end the Lady ; Herbert an indifferent fifth. Azael, Weather gage, and Convulsion, had not the least chance, the state of the ground having disposed of them early. The pace, as might naturally be expected, was bad; time, 2 min. 14 sec. Messrs. Payne, Greville, and others connected with the winner's stable, win good stakes. A portion of the aristocratic body likewise throw in. Bookmakers, for the most part, are said to be losere. As many persons may have backed horses after they were scratched, it may be useful to know the time when they were struck out. At midnight, on Sunday, the for feit list was composed of the following names :—Her nandez, Ariosto, Officious, Harbinger, Chief Baron Nicholson, Adine, Flirt, Lady Amyott, Young Trouble some, Scarecrow, La Gartza Ladra, Cavan, Ammonia, Dollond, Longinus, and Turmus. Previous to the read ing of the list on Monday evening, the following were the additional scratchings :—Glauca, Stilton, Neasham, Hungerford, King of Trumps, Hothorpe, Ringleader, The Italian, Musician, Old English Oak, Athena Pallas, Butterfly, Bit of Blue, Lindrick, Billy Bar, Plot, Tested, Henrietta, Rachetee, Cotton Lady, Termagant,Dividend, Jessica, Cornelius, and Madeline. Between that time and midnight Teddington, Truth, Allegro, Proctor, Sally, Warfoot colt, King Pepin, and Kate, were also added to the doleful list. Yesterday morning, Eliza Middleton, Grey Tommy, Miniature filly, High Sheriff, Miss Fanny, Lancaster, Follow-me-Lads, Puritan, and Isabella, were the last batch of unfortunates. The remainder were left in the finale. A fine race between Janina, Heroine, and Ploughboy, for the 10 soya. Stakes, over the last half of the Ab. M., terminated in favour of the first named, by only a head; Heroine beating Ploughboy a short length for second place, Lady Speedy a good fourth, and Needle fifth. The Anonymous Letter and La hotline ran very stale. Sextus ran away with another Sweepstakes of 10 sovs., over the same course as the previous race, beating his only opponent, Vest, by three lengths. The D.M, Selling Handicap Sweepstakes was likewise a one-sided affair, Faux-pas waiting upon Presto into the cords, and winning, when called upon, very easily by two lengths. The 15 sows. Handicap, over the T.Y.C., was won in the most off-hand style imaginable, by Child-of-the- Mist; Dividend beating Knavery a length for scz,ond place. The others wore stalled off. The D.I. Handicap Plate brought the day's sport to a conclusion. They backed Cariboo against the field for this race, but the dirt most effectually settled him before they had run half the distance; Larry Wheat winning by a length, Ilex obtaining second place. Cariboo, Black Doctor, and Houlakin were somewhere or other I presume, but certainly not within range of my optics. The field for the Glasgow Stakes to-morrow will not have more than three starters at the outside, namely, Speed-the-Plough, West Australian, and Filbert; but it is not unlikely that the Stakes will terminate in a compromise and walk over. If it produces a race Speed-the-Plough will, of course, beat West Australia, and the latter do the like for Filbert. The 50 sow. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M. will be contested by Glenavon, Nicotine, one of Lord Exeter's, and Pharold. Sylphine does not run. The first and second places will be filled by GLENATON—Whom the present state of the ground suits—and NICTORINE. Angelo, the Conspiracy Filly, Sittingbourne, and Knight of the Garter will, 1 believe, run their respective matches. My digest of the Nursery Stakes will appear to morrow. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

The coroner's inquest on the body of M. Frederick Cournet, killed in a duel near Inglefield-green, on the 19th instant, was resumed yesterday before C. J. Woods, Esq., at the Barley Mow 1t.% The inquiry created the most intense interest, and amongst those present were General Sir John Cathcart, Bart., Colonel Galwey, Cap tain Seymour, J. Bonnell, Esq., W. Newnham, Esq., T. R. Ward, Esq., J. Dobinson, Esq., county magistrates, and many others of the neighbouring gentry. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the proceedings commenced, the Coroner, who resides at a distance, having been detained an hour beyond the time fixed on Thursday last. The Coroner said, since Thursday last, through the exertions of the very active superintendent of police, Mr. Biddlecome, a mass of additional evidence, of a very important character, had been obtained, which he trusted would enable them to conclude the inquiry at the present sitting. Henry Efand, of 5, llarpur-street, New Oxford-street, deposed that he is the proprietor of the Assault of Arms, and secretary to Mr. Green, the proprietor of the Shooting Gallery, Leicester-square, London. On Mon day evening, the 18th of October, about half-past seven o'clock, three foreigners came into the gallery to hire pistols for practice. They were supplied with a brace of pistols, on leaving a deposit, Witness did not know the parties. The pistols now produced they did not approve of ; another brace of pistols was procured, and they took them. (The pistols were here produced; they wore a brace of rifle pistols, the same as they used in the shooting gallery.) The foreigners left Si. as a deposit. The pistols were retuinea about 5 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the 19th inst. The pistols were brought back by a stranger, who ap peared like a waiter at one of the neighbouring hotels. At the time the messenger delivered the pistols to wit ness he stated that one of them was loaded. Witness put a cap on the nipple, and afterwards put some gun powder in the nipple, but the pistol missed fire both times. Witness then drew the charge and found the rag produced, and a ball (also produced) in the chamber. The rag rendered it next to an impossibility that the powder should explode. The rag was where the gun powder should have been. Witness had not since berm able to trace the messenger who brought back the pistol. The pistols were not loaded when the foreigners took them away. They had just previously been used in the gallery. The parties who hired the pistols took about two dozen caps, and the same number of bullets. One of the foreigners came back about half-past eight o'clock on the Monday evening, and said he wanted more balls. Witness gave him ten or a dozen more, and saw nothing more of the foreigners after that time. Mr. Green vo lunteered the information in consequence of seeing the account of the proceedings in the newspapers, and find _ men ing that a powder flask had been found upon one of the prisoners (Allain). The bill produced (found upon Allain) was the paper in which witness wrapped the bells. A certain sum was paid for the use of the pistols, and for the powder flask, which was not returned. The pistols were taken away without being cleaned—there had been many shots fired from them on Monday, the 18th inst., but they were not very foul. In answer to questions from Mr. Ashurst (who ap peared for MM. Baronnet and Allain), witness said the pistols wore cleaned on the Monday morning, but not afterwards before they loft the gallery on Monday. The pistol in which the wadding (or rag) was found was in use on the Monday, and so was the other pistol. The pistols were cleaned with tow, never with rag, like the pig ce produced. He could identify one of the parties who hired the pistols. In answer to questions from the Coroner, Mr. Super intendent Biddlecombo said the four persons taken up lateen suspicion—MM. Barthelemy and De Mornay (friends of the survivor), acrd MM. Baronnet and Allain (friends of the deceased), had been lodged in Horsemen ger-lane Gaol. Mr. Bryon, of the Mansion•house police, having been sworn as interpreter, Guisland Patrice Denis deposed, in French, that he resided at 53, Old Compton - atreot , Soho, where that he a restaurant and coffee-house. Ile knew Frederick Cournet, and know Cournet had been residing in London some time—for nine or ten months. Knew Emanuel Barthelemy; he is a Frenchman. Had seen Edmund Allain at his house about fifteen times. Knew Baronnet hut did not know his Christain name. Did not know De Mornay. Barthelemy had been in England for about three weeks or a month on his present visit. Witness believes that Barthelemy came direct to his house, but could not fix the date in the absence of his hooks. Barthelemy slept twice at his house, and called a third time. Recollected Barthelemy writing a letter from his house. Witness told Barthelemy that Baronnet, Cournet, and Recherolles took their repasts at his house. Witness had no knowledge of the contents of the letter written by Barthelemy - , but the latter said he could not finish it without referring to the last letter he had received from Cournet. He after % ards said ho must show the letter to some ono before he closed it, and he returned home for that purpose. Barthelemy said he did not know Cournet personally, and witness told him Cournet was a very fine man, and a strong man—a strong and robust man. Barthelemy held his band, as if in the act of firing off a pistol, towards a looking glass, and said, "At this, I don't fear the first comer." Ho left the house, and said in an hour and a halt he would bring him the letter. Barthelemydid not return. Three or four days after that Barthelemy came to witness's house and slept there. The first time Barthelemy arrived at the house witness understood, from his exprevions, that he had a quarrel with Cour net, Barthelemy last slept at the house of witness on the night of Monday, the 18th ; he came in a little before 12, and went to bed immediately afterwards. Robellard was at the table with him, but took nothing tc eat ; he drank. They both slept in the same room. Witness did not hear any particular conversation be tweea them. Barthelemy left the house alone at a quarter to six o'clock on the following morning. Robel lard came down about half-past 11. Four or five days after the arrival of Barthelemy, Cournet said he had heard that Barthelemy had said, in certain circles, that he would burst his (Cournet's) belly. On the 14th Cournet did not come to breakfast, but was at witness's house at dinner. On that occasion Cournet said, " The coward would not accept me to-day." Witness under stood that Cournet had been to Richmond. Louis Joseph Soulli, advocate, of Cranbourn-etreet, Leicester-square, deposed, in French, that Cournet was his friend. Did not know Barthelemy. [Witness was deeply affected, and was accommodated with a chair.] Thought he should know Barthelemy from Cournet's description, but bad never seen him. Knew that a duel was about to be fought between Barthelemy and Cournet. Three days before his death Cournet sc'el he had a desire to avoid that fatal rencontre, but he could not, The terms of the quarrel were such as not to ad mit of explanation. The cause of the duel was a menace. Did not know De Mornay nor Allain, Ba ronnet was his friend. Knew nothing, excepting hearsay, of the preparations for the duel. In Franca the terms of a duel aro always committed to writing. When op portunity offers, the principals have two seconds (or witnesses) each. Among gentiemen the privileged weapons ere pistols and swords, when both are agreed it is a duel to the death. It is seldom that both are used. T offended party has the choice of arms, but that poin ee t is somewhat difficult to settle. When the seconds know that one of the parties is a better shot than the other they increase the distance, in order to place them more on an equality. They place the com batants at a distance of 40 yards generally; they each %via up to a certain point, and then fire. Another mode is to toss for the first fire. The seconds are charged with the loading of the pistols. They show the powder, and the ball to the seconds on the other side. Each second loads the pistol of his principal. It is always the practice to examine the pistols, and then they draw lots for the pistols; that is before they are charged. Gallery pistols are the most dangerous, and r quire no wadding between the ball and the powder. oseph Joanny Pardigan, 78, Wardoutestreet, at M. again saw lili,aantdnwigahtitt.ed Ox ford-street, bootmaker, deposed that he knew Bar thelemy 18 '1(. 41, very well.

TURKEY. From the justificative reason given by the Divan for rejecting the transaction of the Turkish loan, it would appear that M. Couturier, the agent of the Bank of. Constantinople, and the Prince Cnllimaki, had acted precipitately by concluding the affair pre vious to its being ratified by the Sultan. The minis ters are unanimous in opinion that the 20 per cent. premium is an imposition ; other parties having come forward who offer, 2,3, or even 5,000,000 sterling at 5} per cent., and without premium. The Sultan had sent an immense quantity of plate and jewellery to the Mint. They have been returned to him, accompanied by a written statement that the financial embarrassments of tho Government were not in such a sad condition as to require such an ex- peciient. The Armenian bankers have scraped toge'her 400,0001., and the Turkish Ministers about 250,0001. 'These sums suffice to relieve the exigencies of the moment. ALLEGED DEATH FROM HOMCEOPATHY. Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, accompanied by Mr. Bren his deputy, held at the Hepa and Anchor, Gloucester place, Bedford Now Town, an inquest of five hours duration on the late Mrs. Margaret Sedgewick, aged 60, whose death was attributed to homcepathic treat ment. The inquest-room was crowded by medical men, parochial authorities, and friends of the deceased, who took the deepest interest in the inquiry. Maria Cox, a nurse, deposed, that she attended de ceased from the previous Tuesday until Friday, when she died. She gradually got worse until F . riday . morn ing, when she died. She was sens ible within a few mo ments of death, Mr. Samuel Sedgwick, deceased's husband, said, that on Sunday fortnight deceased was taken ill, when ho gave her two antibilious pills. She was much worse on the following Tuesday, and at her request he called on Mr. David Griffith Jones, the homoeopathist, who said that she suffered not from stoppage of the bowels, but from inflammation of the lungs. At the time she suffered from pain in the stomach and difficulty of breathing. Sunday week her daughter, who had no faith in houccea pathy, sent lir. M'Clowell, her own physician, to attend her mother, and he told him that deceased was rapidly sinking, and that unless she had other treatment she would assuredly die. Witness told that to Mr. Junes, requesting him to have a consultation with one of " the old practice." Mr. Jones declined the proposal, saying " they will doctor her to death." Dr. Epps was then sent for, and he held a consultation with Mr. Jones, on Monday. After which they declared it a hopeless case, and that deceased's complaint was a forerunner of others, and the dropsy had set in. Whereupon witness resolved to get rid of the homeepathic treatment, and revert to " the old practice." Accordingly he sent for Mr. M'Clowell and Dr. Baley, and also engaged a new nurse. .alr. A. C.

NOVEMBER. Kilkenny THE FRENCH CURRENCY. The Dibats has the following on the subject of gold, calling strenuously for a change in the character of the currency:— . s. " The w assertion that the enormous production of gold in California, in Australia, and in Siberia, is a transi tory phenomenon destined to finish as suddenly as it commenced, is the romantic exaggeration of an exact fact—namely, that mines of gold, alluvian mines at least, become exhausted more rapidly than other mines. It is necessary, however, to be endowed with a superhuman dose of penetration to now perceive in the mines of gold recently discovered, any signs of approaching exhaustion. Has the production fallen on in any of the gold regions? By no means; it is ra ther increasing. According to the last accounts from California the extraction has never been more active and more abundant. As far as regards Ru ss i a , th e go ld i s s aid to exist there m indefinite quantity, th e en d o f w hich it is impossible to foresee. As to Australia, the strata have been scarcely skimmed, and they are every day found to be more extensive. In a word, we must prepare ourselves to see, during a considerable lapse of time, an unheard of production, which will go at least to 200,000 kilogrammes of gold, making 700 millions of our gold coin; or, at least eight times greater than what took place at the commencement of the century, and that while the production of silver scarcely exceeds what it was 50 years ago. Suppose that this lapse of time, during which this enormous production should last, were to be only 20 years, and that after that time we should fall back to nearly what we were before, that would make a mass of 4,000,U° of kilogrammes of gold which will have been thrown into commerce. It would be enough to make 700,060.0(10 of our gold 20f. coins. Can it he conceived that a market ecu he found for this immense mass cf gold, unleba it is reduced in vulue, and 12 gramme of it given iu exchange for a hectolitre of wheat, instead of 6, which is the present value, or admit the value of the 20f. piece to be lot.? Let ua now Etty a few words on the outlet which it is imagined will I found for this unusual production of the p:eciov.s meal, and which it is supposed will protect it from tiny depreciation. It is stated that certain nations, which have now but little in their monetary system, will take a large proportion of it, and that ructessing luxury, jewels, gilding of apart ments, and gold embroidery will take the rest. This presumed market has, however, a very serious defect; it is too di proportioned to the object. In the first place, set aside the United States, and Russia, which as gold-producing countries, coin a largo amount of the precious metal, what nation shall we see coin extraordinary masses of gold ? On the contrary, we see governments taking prmiautions against the admission of too large a quantity of gold into the me chanism of exchanges. Holland, Belgium, and Spain have done this, and other powers will with reason follow the example; for from the moment when gold is tkreatsned with a loss of its value it is deprived of its distinctive quality as a monetary metal, for that quality is, in fact, a fixity of value. What is th e p ro b a bl e quantity of gold which Russia and the United States would take on the footing of the present value of the metal, supposing also that they did not be come alarmed ? At the most 600,000 kilogrammes, even counting what they have already coined, and very probably less, for that would m a k e mo r e than a milliard for each country; and they are countries where paper money circulates to a large amount. When, there fore, these two countries shall have absorbed 600,000 kilo grammes of fine gold in their ceinage,and probably before, the metal will fall in value. These 600,000 kilogrammes aro the production of three years, according to existing circumstances. With regard to the luxuryryckoned on to assist in taking off the superfluous quantity, those who make use of this argument aro bad l y informed as to in crease of consumption in that way. Since . the commence ment of the pre3ent century up !,0 this time, luxury has "Zof gold consumed ilch as might be greatly jewellery i n cr hagea t , but mc the increased a s n o sup posed. In Engl:nd, the richest country in the world, there are not more articles of gold manufactured now than there were fifty years ago. The depreciation in t h e value of the metal might cause a rapid increase in the production and sale of gold articles, if six grammes of the metal could , be procured for half a hectolit re o f w h ea t, or five days labour, which now cost one hectolitre, or ten days' labour. Everything, therefore, tends to that depreciation:' NATIONAL DEFENCE.—We understand that ten line-of-battle ships, being built,or ordered to be built, in th• Royal dockyards, are ordered to be fitted with screw ma- chinely.—herald. SWINDLING BY A SHIP'S CAPTAIN.--The police of Paris arrested on Saturday the captain of an English merchant ship, the Shakspeare, under the following cir cumstances :—ln March last the Shakspeare left the port of Canton, having on board an American. The American was very badly off, and had no goods; but ho and the cap tain concocted a scheme for co mmitting a fraud on a grand scale. On arriving at the Cape of Good Hope, the captain presented the American to a commercial firm with whom he was acquainted, and repreaented to them that he had on board his ship about 6,000/. worth of goods, whi c h 119 was conveying to England. He also p ro duced vouchers, w hi c h seem ed to confirm the statement. The firm, to account, giving a draft on their ' American, who oblige the Ail' .was 11 , 1 At w hin a e ll e t ri o c f a _ n mo th n e e n y, i a n g s r ur ee e d d a o i n n o d • e t r li . ird Th o e t cargo, and paid at Shortly after this agent in once purchase 09 no 0 0, rot hne aboutarcremainder. mo a t t of s tav H in e fen t ?), the Shakspeare set sail; but the Amerio ao the rest of the cargo for about 5,0001. remained at the conclude some busi n3caspse., on On the he arriving p re tex would give up the command of the the captain said he as the health of his wife, who vessel to his mate, it necessary that she should' was with him, rendered steamer, being unabl e to proceed to England by bear in the Shakspeare.

The mate promised to fulfil his share of the after the East India stermer touched at the island, and tat) captain and his wife went on board. There they met the American, as had previously been arranged. Lis soon es the steamer etrived in London the Arno i lean cud the captain went to the agent of the merchants of the Cap, and received from him 1,5351., the balance Otte on the cargo. They then waited for news of the leas of the Shakspeare, in order to apply to the insurance office for the amount of the insurance. A short time back, to their profound astonishment, they learned that the Shakspeare had entend the mouth of the Thames; the matt, being an honest man, as it turned out, having brought her sate home, instead of making any attempt to destroy her. The two men thereupon deemed it prudent to fly , . The American embarked on hoard a vessel which was about to proceed to the East Indies, whilst the Captain and his wife came to Paris, and took up their residence in the Champ Elysees. The agent of the St. Helena merchants, haying learned the fraud that had been committed, and having ascertained t h a t that the Captain had come to Paris, immediately came over here, and obtained, by the interference of the English embassy, the assistance of the police In a very short time the residence el the Captain was discovered, and he was ROL tad. -111
