Trucker the Minister of War, stated, in answer to M eYer, tha i t the concentration of troops en the Iller and the Upper Danube had been a matter of necessity, in sequence of the unsettled state of the Swiss and Baden frontier, by which Bavarian Suabia was also affected. Th e number of troops in cantonments was being gra dually reduced, so that the burden thus imposed on the inhabitants of those parts would soon be considerably diminished, if not wholly removed. The 'louse then passed to the order of the day. HOLLAND. TIIE CHOLERA. TIM HAGUE, Nov. 2G.—On the 24th, there oc curred at Rotterdam 12 new cases of cholera; 4 died, recovered.

LEGHoeN, Nov. 20.—When the news of the death of Rossi reached this place, it occasioned great public e i ()jei ngs, and it was r ece i ve d w ith songs of joy. The Italian tri-coloured fliL , was planted at the top of the cathedral. The crowd, preceded by drums and flags, marched to the residence of M. LA CECILIA, and then to the h o t e l of the Roman Consul, for the purpose of . f elicitatin g hi m w i th respect to the insurrection which had broken out at Rome. The vast assemblage then moved on until it arrived at the Palace of the Go vernment, .vhen th msands of men called upon the Governor, CARLO PIGLI, to show himself on the ter race ; on doing so, he said, " The Minister Rossi was not loved in Italy, but this was solely in consequence THY! SUN, LON'DON', TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 18481 of his political principles. GOD, in bis secret designs, I was pleased that this man should fall by the hand of a descendant -of the old Roman republicans. May GOD preserve his soul, and the liberty of our poor Italy ! " The inimense applause which followed drowned the voice of the Governor. The crovvd then dispersed. The - Roman flag floated with the tri coloured flAg. In all quarters constant cries were heard of Visa it Constituzione Italiana! ' and Viva Roma !' " Gazette of Genoa, Nov. 21. It is said that RosMINI has refused to join the Papal Miniatry. The latest direct accounts from Rome are to the 17th. All was quiet there. The French paper L'Univers says, that intelli gence had been received that the Pore had been ex pelled from Rome, but it gives no particulars. A letter from Naples of the 17th, addressed to the Dards, says that the elections had resulted in favour of the Liberal party. SALICETTI and General PEPE obtained the greatest number of votes. Only 1,500 electors, however, out of 15,000, voted. The KING, alarmed at this result, had caused the windows of the palace to be bricked up, the batteries repaired, and fully armed, and other precautions taken. The news from Sicily was of no importance, and the Two Sicilies maintained their respective positions. LLOYD'S SiiirPlitiG-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Nov. 28.—Wind S.S. W., light breeze and fine.

The public sales have comprised 2,500 bags Mauritius, 2,500 bags Madras, and 1,300 bags Manilla. The whole went off heavily, only a small por tion of the Mauritius and Madras being realised at previous rates, whilst the Dlanilla was all taken in at 30s for low mid brown, duty paid. Privately a cargo of about 300 tons good white Paraiba realised 20s for delivery at Trieste, being a full price. There was no British Plantation landed at the East and West India Docks last week, but there were taken for home consumption 1,524 hhds, 142 tierces, 412 barrels. The stock in the same place is 21,772 hhds, 3,167 tierces, 3,135 barrels. COFFEE iS quiet.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHEPPARD. This was an information for an infringement of the Excise• laws. The defendant is an extensive maltster, carrying on business in the neighbourhood of Shrews bury, and the information charges him with having on several occasions wetted his corn as a maltster without giving notice to the excise—with removing malt from the bond-house before it had been charged with duty— and finally, with colluding with the Excise-officer of the district to defraud the revenue. The case is likely to occupy the attention of the Court he whole day and to-morrow. BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONSLANQUE.) IN RE REMINGTON, STHPIIENSON, AND CO. These bankrupts were formerly bankers, carrying on business in Lombard-street, and against whom a com mission was issued nearly twenty years ago; Stephenson having absconded to America. The present was a meeting to declare a dividend under the joint estate; one of about twopence in the pound having been declared a short time since under the estate of Stephenson. The proceedings were pro forma, and a very trifling dividend will be cflicially declared in a few days, to wind up the commission. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY, (Before the RECORDER.) Sarah Hux ford was indicted with stealing four sove. reigns, six hall-sovereigns, a crown, sixteen half-crowns, and other moneys, the property of Robert Reeve, in his dwelling-horse; and Benry Goodson was charged with receiving the same, well knowing the money to be stolen. The female prisoner pleaded Guilty. From the evidence of Mr. Reeve, it appeared that he had the money, the subject of the indictment and charge against the prisoner, in a box on the 28th of October last, and upon going to the box on the evening of that day he found his money was gone. The female prisoner was his servant, together with her sister, and the male prisear called upon Sarah Iluxford on the day previous to the robbery. Mary Ann Reeve, the wife of the prosecutor, stated that on the evening previous to the robbery she told the female prisoner that her husband had got the rent in a box, and that he intended to pay it next day. Samuel Martin, who kept a beer-shop in Union street in the Borough, said that the male prisoner was his waiter. On the 22d of October the prisoner owed him 11. 145., and on Sunday the 29th he came to him and stated that he had met with a friend, who had lent him a few pounds, and he should have no objection, if the witness required it, to lend him a few pounds. lie ultimately lent him 2/. The prisoner was apprehended in his shop on the same evening. The female prisoner came to his shop with the male prisoner on the 29th of October, One of the City police stated that when he appre hended the male prisoner at the shop of the last witness he attempted to pass some money to him, and at the station the male prisoner stated that ho had picked up a purse in the street. Mr. Honnv addressed the jury for the male prisoner. The RECORDER summed up, and The jury Acquitted the male prisoner; and The RECORDER sentenced the female prisoner to seven years' transportation. Benjamin Tait, 35, described in the cal, ndar as a hairdresser, was indizted with stealing two blankets, thrue pair of razors, one apron, and one cloth, of the value of 265. 3d., the property of W. Nicholls, his master. From the evide rice of the prosecutor it appeared that he carried on the business of a hairdresser at Greenwich, and the prisoac r was in his employ. The prosecutor having occasion to go into Devonshire, lift. the prisoner in possession of his shop , an d on his return he found the premises shut up, and the prisoner and the property laid in the indictment gone. A person of the name of Paget, a hairdresser at Greenwich, stated that the prisoner sold him the razors for I s. and a quartern of rum. The prisoner admitted selling the razors to Paget, but denied any knowledge of the other property contained in the indictment. The jury Acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. Tae COMMON- SERGEANT was engaged tho whole morn ing in trying several Mint cases, involving no f, ature of public interest. HAYMLA RKEI"THEATRE. Colman's standard old comedy, the Jealous Itife, was revived here last evening ; and never, as a whole—not even in what old playgoers are pleased to denominate the palmy days of the drama—has this' comedy been so well performed as it was last evening. From the beginning to the end it was perfect, and had old George Colman himself been resuscitated, and ri quircd to " fit" the present company of his old theatre, the Haymarket, they could not have been fitted more completely than they were last evening in the following cast:—Mr. Oakley, Mr. Charles Kean (hia first appearance in that character); Major Oakley, Mr. Webster; Lord Trinket, Mr. A. Wigan; Russet, Mr. Tilbury; Sir Harry Beagle, Mr. Keeley ; Captain O'Cutter, Mr. Hudson; Charles, Mr. Howe; Paris, .Mr. Braid; William, Mr. Clark; John Mr. Ennis; Mrs. Oakley, Mrs. Charles Kean (her first appearance in that character); Lady Freelove, Mrs. W. Clifford; Harriet, Miss Reynolds; Toilet, Mrs. Caulfield; Betty, Miss Woolds. Of the Mrs. Oakly of Mrs. Charles Kean it is impos sible to speak too highly. This character has generally been given to a lady who usually acts nothing but tragedy, and the consequence has been, that Mrs. Oakley has been generally represented on stilts, a sort of Othello in petticoats, or, that fearing to give too " tragic" a tinge to the character, the actress has fallen into the opposite extreme, and has presented us with a farcical burlesque. Mrs. Charles Kean, on the contrary, gives us the Mrs. Oakley of nature, a high-bred, polished, accomplished lady of ton, suffering from habitual constitutional jealousy. Never has that nervous fidgettiness, which is what logicians would call " an essential mode" of jealousy, been more admirably portrayed than it was by Mrs. Charles Kean last evening. This under-current of nervous irritability was evident even in the, comparatively speaking, quies cent scenes, and, in the scene with Lady Freelove, the visible and great effort made to keep it within bounds was a perfect triumph of art. In the last scene, her pas sion, without at ail trenching on the boundaries of tragedy or melodrama, was positively sublime. The Mrs. Oakley of Mrs. Charles Kean is one of those perfect and polished representations of high co medy which: always have been and always must be rare, because it requires a woman of genius to conceive them and a highly polished lady, who has passed her life in the best society, to embody the conception, but which, when met with, are indeed " pearls of price." Mr. Charles Kean's Oakley was excellent : it was gentle manly and pathetic, without the least approach to rant or tragedy declamation. It was as perfect as was the Mrs. Oakley of,his lady. We hope often to have the pleasure of again seeing Mr. Charles Kean in genteel comedy—his lion Felix, and his Mr. Oakley prove that he is quite as much favoured by Thalia as by Melpo mene. Miss Reynolds was admirable as Harriet, and Keeley was unctious exceedingly as Sir Harry. Never have we seen a comedy acted more evenly than this. All were good, and the Jealous Wife will no doubt draw excellent houses to the Haymarket for many nights to come. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was animated, and the low priced Americans were a point higher. The sales were estimated from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, including 800 America!) en speculation. We note the following transactions:-6,000 American at 3-0. to 6d.; 500 Pernams at 4,-H. to 5d.; 200 Bahia at. 51; 700 Sarats et 2/d. to 3d.; and 100 Sea Island at to 10d. In Railway Shares a better business was done, at higher rates. The American letters and papers by the steamer Hibernia have been delivered. The excitement of the Presidential election being over, and a moderate man having been elected, it is to be supposed that industrial pursuits will be more attended to. The imports into New York bad been very large dur ing the week preceding the date of our accounts, and in respect to monetary matters it is stated— " Government and State stocks and Treasury notes have improved within the past month. Those of slightly a fancy character have held their own pretty well, and in some instances on advance has been realised. Nothing new has recently transpired relative to the financial condition of the Governm nt, or of the different States. At present the United States Treasury is pretty well supplied with funds, so much so, that the Secretary has given notice that the instalments due on the last loan before January next will not be called for until after that time. There is very little doubt but that the Government will soon be in the market for another loan, but the amount required is not as yet de termined. In about three weeks Congress will convene, when the annual report from the Treasury Department will be made. We shall then have a full, and, we hope, a fair exposition of the (public finances, and be able to form more correct calculations relative to the future. A new party will come into power on the 4th of March next, when Mr Walker will have to hand over his bud get to his successor, and we have no doubt he will close all his accounts up to the latest moment,and make every thing as clear and transparent as.possible." The Montreal Flour Market was quiet on the 7th instant, but firm; superfine at 245. Ashes, 295. to 295. Sd. Freights, 4s. 6d. to London, 6s. to the Clyde. Exchange steady; Bank 60 days, 10 per cent., and pri vate 81 per cent. By her Majesty's ship Calliope advices of August 25 have been received from Wellington, New Zealand. It is stated that— " Rangihaeata has taken possession of the whole of Mr. Skipwith's sheep, eleven hundred in number. A few days since he stopped sixteen head of cattle, belong ing to Mr. Waist, merchant of this place, which were being driven to Wanganui, and seized the person of Mr. Caverhill, who had charge of the herd, detaining him close priioner for some time. Some of the resident na tives attempted to resist Rangihaeata's party, but they were not strong enough to effect their object. " Mr. Caverhill was ultimately allowed to return to Wellington without the cattle, on condition of taking back to Manawatu 10 bottles of rum, 101bs of tobacco, and sundry other articles. Black mail! " Rangihapata asked if there was grass land round Go vernment-house, because he intended driving down the sheep to graze upon it." This of course cannot last, especially as the same chief was preparing for greater encroachments. Gover nor Grey having arrived at Wellington, would, it was hoped, give his earliest attention to the matter. A local journalist writes— " Since our last rumours have been afloat to the effect that his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief intends meeting the wishes of the settlers in the Southern Province, by bringing into operation a Constitution. We trust the inhabitants of Port Nicholson will take the subject up in a becoming manner. And the only proper course open, appears to be by public meeting, and ap pointing an active deputation ,to wait upon Sir George Grey, in order to furnish the Governor with such information as to our wants and requirements as shall preclude any excuse being made that the settlers have evinced apathy on a question of such moment to all in the place. The settlers have long felt that a change in the governance is not only desirable but ur gently needed. The appropriation of a large revenue, by an irresponsible power, is becoming more and more oppressive, and the acts of the local executive require to be controlled by the colonists themselves. We therefore, trust a meeting will shortly be convened, for it would: be a disgrace if we permitted such a favourable opportunity as the present to pass by without taking advantage of the same." The exporters from Nelson to Sydney were increas ing, and the New Zealand colonies generally were more flourishing than they had been. The favourable advices from America, the large ma jority for Cavaignac, the further considerable impor tation of specie from South America (between two and three millions of dollars), have served to strengthen the Consol Market, which for some time has been gradually " hardening" on account of the better prospects at home. With an improving revenue, and the promise of retrenchment, money now lying idle in the vaults of the Bank will be brought into play, but rather, we trust, in mercantile pursuits than merely for invest ment in public securities. Consols have been 87} i to day. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 86k I. East India Stock is at 237. Exchequer bills have touched 425. and 455. premium. The Foreign Securities have been in fair request. The adoption yesterday, at the meeting of Spanish bond holders, of the memorial to Narvaez, has no particular effect on the stock. The Five per Cent. Bonds are 12k, and the Three per Cents. 25k to i. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 24i to 251. Mexican Bonds have been 21 to k.

The meeting was summoned by the friends of Sir Ralph Lopez, and it was determined that a 1;e: octal meeting of the Conserva tive freeholders of the south of Devon should be con vened at the Royal Hotel, in this town, at twelve o'clock to-morrow. To-day Sit Ralph Lopez's letter to Sir Trayton Drake, exprossino his determination to abide by the wishes of the county, and to contest the repre sentation if it be their pleasute, is posted over the town. There is a strong feeling he re on the Catholic endow ment question. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. L IVER I'o OL, MONDAY. The royal mail steamer Hibernia, Captain Stone, arrived here this morning from Boston and Halifax, with the usual !nails and 17 passengers. She left Boston on the Isth and Halifax on the 17th inst., and has consequently made the voyage from Boston m eleven and a half days. The West India steamer Forth was at New York, from Bermuda, on the 11th, and sailed again on the 14th. The Great Western steamer arrived at Cat Island on the 2d inst. The British and North American royal mail steamer America, arrived at New York via Halifax, on the Bth inst., in twelve and a quarter days. The Acadia, which sailed hence on the 4th inst., arrived out at Halifax in twelve days, and proceeded on her voyage to Boston. The news of General Taylor's election to the Pre sidency is fully confirmed. Mr. Fillmore is also Vice President. The official returns had not been received; but the electric telegraphs, which are in extensive operation throughout the United States, make it undoubted that General Taylor was elected by a larger majority than even his most ardent friends anticipated. We learn from this source that whilst the majority of delegates necessary to a choice is only 146, General Taylor had received 173. The fact, therefore, of his election, was undoubted. The House of Representatives, also, would be found to be decidedly of the Whi g cas t. A s th e c h ange in this Assembly does not take effect until December, 1849, no change in the commercial policy of the country, even if intended, can take place until that period. . _ The political news by this arrival is not important, otherwise than as regards the elections. Mexico was quiet. It was reported that General Paez had entered Caraccas, at the head of 2,000 good troops, and that Monagas had found it prudent to fly in consequence; but we have no particulars. The Money Market at New York, though slightly improved, still continues tight. - Upon call, even 7 per cent. is given, whilst on lung-dated bills the rate is much higher. For bills on England there was a good demand at 109 to 1091. The leading American Stocks were in demand, and improving in price. Treasury Notes, Sixes, are quoted 103 f ; United States Sixes of 68, 1051; ditto of 67, 1051 ; Pennsylvania Fives, 74. New Youe, Nov. 13, P.N. —Ashes—The market is without change for either sort, with sales of 75 bbli. Pot at 6 dolls. 121 c. to 6 dolls. laic., and 30 bbls. Pearl at 6 dolls. 25c. Cotton-The market for this staple has assumed more firmness, and the sales reach 2,800 bales ; it is understood the sales on Saturday were about 2,500 bales. Flour, &c.-The prevailing cold weather for the past four or five days has induced increased firmness on the part of holders from day to day, and prices must be quoted again 61c. higher than on Saturday. At these prices nothing is doing for export, and transactions are confined to the demand for the East and city trade. The sales are about 6,000 bbls. at 5 dolls. 37c. to 5 dolls. 44c. for round hoop Ohio and mixed Western, 5 dolls. 44c. to 5 dolls. 50c.for straight Genessee and MichiganAdolls.soc.

The sales include 14,500 bushels good to prime Genessee, part at 1 doll. 25c. to 1 doll. 27c., and the residue on private terms; and 2,400 bushels common Ohio at 1 doll. 4c., closing in favour of the buyer. Rye is rather better ; the sales reach 5,000 bushels, at 66c. to 67c. afloat and delivered. Barley is quiet and without change, with sales of 1,800 bushels good four rowed, at 65c. Oats are rather firmer, at 35c. to 35c. Corn is held for higher prices, which is not met freely by shippers, and the sales do not exceed 15,000 bushels, at 66c. to 69c. for Western mixed, the former price in store, 70c. for Southern yellow, 65c. for New Orleans, and 73c. to 73c. for Jersey and Northern yellow, closing dull. Provisions-Ohio Pork is lower, with sales of 250 bbls. in lots at 12 dolls. 75c. to 12 dolls. 81/c. for mess, and 8 dolls. 870. to 8 dolls. 940. for prime-closing heavy. 150 bbls.

Naval Stores-Small sales of crude Turpentine at 2 dolls. 50c.; for spirits the market is unsettled, and sales are reported at 34c. caLh. Lead-The market is heavy, with sales of 3,000 pigs at 4 dolls. 6ic. cash. Freights-We have no change to notico in the rates; there is rather more cotton offering, and less of bread stuffs. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14. Now that the smoke and dust of the conflict have cleared away, the results of the recent election may be calculated and contemplated calmly, and, although all the official returns have not yet reached us, yet enough is known to justify the statement that General Taylor has carried the day by thirteen electoral votes, each can didate having fifteen states in his favour. I have been assisted in the following table by a very able political statistician, who has the advantage of the latest telegra phic news from all available points. If, however, there should be any change in any one state, where the majo rity now appears to be very small, such change will only increase the majority in favour of General Taylor:— ELECTORAL VOTES.- RESULTS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Now this is not so, except only as the peace of the world is concerned, for under General Taylor the tariff on imports will probably be increased on most articles to forty and fifty per cent., whereas the existing low democratic tariff would certainly have been continued under General Cass. Thus, under General Taylor the exports from England to this country will probably be diminished, while under General Cass they would continue to be immense, General Taylor's policy , being that of a " pro tective tariff," General Cass's a " free-trade tariff." But much of this will depend on the temper of the next Congress, and therefore the returns to the new House of United States Representatives become daily of more and more importance, as foreshadowing with cer tainty the future in relation to the tariff question. I find that up to the present time thirtetn states have elected their Members for the next Congress, and these Mem bers range thus: — Whigs 71 Democrats Now, in the old or present Congress, the same states have in the House:— Whigs Democrats ... 6$ ... 60 It is reasonable to suppose that in the states where the state elections have not yet been held, or heard from, the Whig gain will be considerable, and that there will be a large Whig majority in the new House of Representa tives. The tariff, therefore, will be altered to a scale of higher import duties. It must be remembered, however, that the new Con gress will not meet until the first Monday of December, 1849. The session of Congress that will commence on the first Monday of December next will be the last ses sion, called the " short session," of the old or present Senate and Huse of Representatives, which session must terminate on the 4th of March next, when General Tay lor will be inaugurated as the new President. There will, therefore, be no change in the United States tariff until the session (" long session") of 1849-50. An announcement in the Washington Union (official) of Saturday last, to the efreet that the Governments of Great Britain and the United States had succeeded in forming a basis for the adjustment of all postal diffi culties between the two Governments has been read with unfeigned satisfaction. The preliminaries only are said to be arranged, but a communication in the New York Sun gives the subjoined as the details on all the chief points as settled between Mr. Bancroft and Lord Clan ricarde. 1. Entire reciprocity between the two Governments in the transmission of letters by their respective steamers. 2. The rate.? of rostage to he uniform for American and English steamers. 3. The British colonial mail to be conveyed through the United States, and by the American as well as the English steamers. 4. American mails for Europe, Asia, and Africa, to be conveyed by the British as well as the American steamers. LYCEUM THEATRE. An Appeal to the Public at this theatre, last night, was highly successful. The appeal is made by Mr. Charles Mathews, from the footlights, and the public are the audience, for the time beirg, of the Lyceum. Mr. Charles Mathews—that is to say, Mr. Rosemary—has taken shelter in a doorway in Fleet-street, from a pelting and decidedly pitiless storm of rain. A young lady (Miss Howard) is in a like case. She is very charming, but it is not her beauty &one which piques Rose. mary. He is curious to a fault in other people's business, and he is dying to know why his beautiful companion has sighed and cried to herself " Heigho, Bilberry 1 " He scrapes acquaintance, manages to get enlisted in her cause, finds out the wrong Bil berry (an elderly gentleman, who must go making love to everybody else's wife and neglecting his own, which, of course, makes her very jealous), gets into all sorts of amusing scrapes, at last finds out the real Bilberry, and then, to his extreme annoyance, discovers that the latter has married clandestinely one Charlotte Smith (the mysterious young lady), who had been affianced to him self, though he has not seen her. The whole piece de pends on the neatness of the dialogue, the capital acting of Charles Mathews, and the anxiety the audience feel to know what such a rigmarole of improbable concate nations will lead to—a curiosity kept alive from time to time by Rosensary's confidential " appeals to the public" to know what it is all about. The piece is a little too long, but it was laughable and successful. THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH DEVON. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OP THE COUNTY OF DEVON. " Fulford, November 25, 1848. Gentlemen,—l have just received the accompanying letter from Mr. Kekewich, which I think it my duty to lay before you us quickly as possible, together with mine to him. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, B. FULFORD. Fulford, Nov. 24, 1848. My dear Kekewich,—l know perfectly well that a pa ragraph I have seen in the Exeter Gazette of this day expresses your opinion on the subject of the payment of the Roman Catholic ministers in Irland; but will you empower me to say so on authority?—Yours very truly, B. FularoßD. S. T. Kekowich, Esq., Peamore. Peamore November, 25, 1848. 9 My dear Fulford,—lf my friends had permitted me to answer fully the questions which were put to me at the meeting, on Tuesday last, I was ready to say that I would never consent to make any provision for the ministers of the Roman Catholic Religion in Ireland, taken either directly or indirectly out of the revenues of the Protestant Church, or out of the public revenues of the State. You may make what use of this letter you like.—Yours, very truly, SAMUEL TREHIViIKE KEREWICH. B. Fulford, Esq., Fulford. SOCIETY Or BRITISH MUSICIABIL—The Society of British Musicians gave their second chamber concert fur the season, at the Hanover-square Rooms, last even ing, before a numerous and fashionable audience. The entire performance went off well. The most successful pieces, in a judiciously varied programme, were Beethoven's " Quartette in C minor, No. 4," exquisitely played by Messrs. Blagrove, N. Mori, Hill, and W. L. Phillips, and two two-part songs by Mendelssohn, which were very nicely sung by Miss Stewart and Mrs. Noble, and encored. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, Nov. 27.—The Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Jupiter, Captain F. Meehan, sailed to-day with the Spanish and Portuguese snails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, in charge of Lieutenant Rainer, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Jupiter took only a few passengers, about4o tons of goods on freight for Lisbon, 15 bottles of quicksilver, and a small quantity of specie for Vigo. FEMALB GUARDIAN SOClETT.—Yesterday afternoon the committee of this society met, for the purpose of re ceiving the "eighteenth annual report, at the Asylum, North -side, Bethnal-green; Mr. Edwardes in the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. Natt, the Honorary Secretary, stated that 94 females have been received into the asylum since the last report was issued, in 1846, when the inmates numbered 33, which made a total of 127 that the society had under its care during the year. Of this number of females it appears that 20 have been placed in service or satisfactorily provided for; 39 have been restored to their friends, 33 have been discharged or withdrawn, 1 has died, and 34 are now under the care of the society. The report also mentioned that the number of females who have partaken of the advantages of the institution, since its foundation in 1829, has been 2,090, of whom 588 have been restored to their friends, 494 placed in service or satisfactorily provided for, 54 sent to their respective parishes, 900 discharged or with drawn,2o have died, nd 34 are now under the care of the society. It appears febm the documentin question, that the amount received by the institution in the shape of dona tions, annual subscriptions, &c., during the year, was 948/. 10s. 3d., and the disbursements for the mainte nance of the women and servants of the asylum, house expenses, rent of asylum, salaries, printing and sta tionary, &c. amounted to 9121. 15 s. 5 d., leaving a balance in iavour of the society of 401. 16s. 3d. The report being adopted, and other matters of minor im portance having been transacted, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. II ort. AND 11 Ev. B. W. NOEL.-011 Sunday morning last St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, was, at an early hour, crowded to so great an excess that it was barely possible to obtain even standing room. A large number of persons were evidently attracted to the chapel by curiosity, to ascertain the "reasons" assigned by Mr. Noel for his proximate secession from the Established Church. They were, however, " sent empty away," for the Rev. Gentleman, in the course of his long and able discourse, did not make the most remote allusion to the subject. We are glad to mention that Messrs. Gouger and Steuart, East India merchants, who were compelled to suspend on the 25th of May lira, have announced a divi dend of six shillings in the pound, payable on the 30th inst. The liabilities of the house at the time of its sus pension were stated at about 80,0001. Private advices from Naples reach to the 17th of November, when all branches of trade were suffering greatly from the increasing want of confidence regarding the maintenance of tranquillity. The election of six slembers for the city of Naples took place on the 13th, and in proof of the apathy of the people towards the exercise of constitutional rights, it is mentioned that out of 17,000 registered electors the numbers that recorded their votes did not exceed 1,000. The candidates chosen belong to the democratic side, and are therefore repre sented by the Ministerial press to be of the most dan genous and objectionable character. The alarm created by this and other circumstances was greatly increased by active movements amongst the troops, coupled with general preparations at the forts; and the funds had con sequently declined about 2 per cent., the last quotations being 82. The position of the Sicilian question was still unchanged. •-• kiORONER I T S INQUEST.—F RI GH TF UL CASE OF ASIATIC CIIOLEIZA.—Mr. Baker, the coroner, held au inquiry yesterday, at the Ship Tavern, Wheeler-street, Spital fields, on view of the body of Daniel Rush, a child aged two years, who died from an attack of Asiatic cholera under deplorable circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from Asiatic cholera," and they strongly-recommended the coroner to draw the attention of the board of guardians to the deplorable condition in which deceased's family were.

So 'di r from the United Staten, by the paymen , tt will be delivered free of charge in any pa o . Ireland, or Scotland. It is hoped that the above arrangement, with addi tional and cheap rates for newspapers, will soon he adopted, for, as the case now stands, the number of letters between the two countries has diminished won derfully, while the transmission of newspapers is sup posed to have been decreased at least nine-tenths. On Wednesday night last the National Gallery in the patent office at Washington was broken open, and thc United States jewels stolen therefrom. These jewels consist of presents made by foreign potentates 0-Ame rican officers or ministers at their courts, &c., but which presents, according to the laws of the Republic, Ame rican officers or ministers are not allowed to retain indi vidually, but are directed to deposit them in the Patent office, or other office of the Merril Government. A reward of 1,500 dollars has been offered by Mr. Burke, Commissioner of Patents, for a recovery of the jewels and the conviction of the robbm. It is thought by many that the plunder has been sent to Europe for sale, and, therefore, I inclose a list of the articles stolen, the publication of which in your columns might lead to their recovery:—Gold snuff-box set with diamonds, gold scabbard belonging ro the sword presented to Com. Biddle, gold medal struck by order of the Se nate of Hamburg at their centennial commemoration of the establishment of their constitution; silver medal, du plicate of the same; gold medal, commemorative of the delivery from assassination of General Bolivar; gold medal, struck in Peru in 1821; ditto, struck in 1828; ditto of Napoleon; silver medal of Napoleon; ditto of Rio de la Plata, 1813; Roman gold coins; pint bottle of otto of roses; pearl necklace; two extra pearls in the gold snuff-box which was taken; 21 medals of copper • and silver of Generals Wayne, Green, and other generals. I regret to record that since your last accounts the city of Brooklyn has been visited by two destructive conflagrations; loss between 200,000 and 300,000 dolls. At Pottsville, during the election, a body of Irish la bourers on the railroad attacked a portion of General Taylor's friends, and one man was killed and several wounded. In Mercer county, Pennsylvania, the Pitts burgh papers report that two Whigs were killed by a man with pistols, who had quarrelled with them; but I have seen no further details of this matter, and hope that it may be untrue or exaggerated. Otherwise the day of election went off peaceably, with the exception of a few windows broken at the Patriot office, Baltimore, and one or two small affrays in the Sixth Ward, New York. The Indian troubles continue in Texas, and 26 Texans had been killed near Lavacca. The following decree, just issued in Hayti, will be found of some im portance to merchants trading with that island. It is sent to this country from Port-au-Prince:— " Art. L Granted to the Government, the right of establishing and controlling the monopolies of the whole or part of the produce of the country. " Art. 2. The use of this monopoly will be regulated • by an ordinance of the Government, which will give on that subject all necessary instruction. " Art. 3. There will be named four brokers for mer chandise and goods in the capital; three for the city of Cayo, L'Arge d'Hainault, Miragoane, and Port de Paix, and one for each district of the Republic. " Art. 4. The brokers are furnished with their com mission by the President of Hayti, and give their oaths before entering into duty for the faithful discharge thereof. "Art. 5. The brokers of merchandise and goods have alone the right to trade in specie, and goods, and mer chandize, and to rule the prices. "Art. 6. The brokers will exercise their duty ac cording to the instructions they receive from the Govern ment.' _ _ Our advices from Mexico still speak of a probable revolution in the northern provinces, and of our expected invasion by the " Buffalo Hunters" and "On Owls," adding that " 100,000 dolls. are ready for the first body of men that will appear off the bar of Tampico." PusLicrrs. THE AMERICAN MARKETS. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.—The arrival of the last steamer has produced a flutter in cotton and breadstuffs, but beyond these articles there has been but little if any change in any of the markets, monetary or commercial. Money is 1 per cent. out of doors. United States Trea sury Notes, 103 f ; United States Sixes, 1044 to 1051; United States. Fives, 95k; Pennsylvania Fives, 74. The result of the election has given firmness to the best stocks, but will not, probably, 'impart much activity so long as the present authorities remain in power. I may add, also, that it has imparted a cheerful tone to bun. generally. About 400,000 dolls. have been replaced in the New York Sub-Treasury, which had been drawn - out Under the recent 800,000 dolls. Treasury note:arrange ment by Mr. Walker, Secretary to the Treasury, who has issued the following notice in relation to the finan cial condition of the Government at the present time, and to January 1, 1849: " Treasury Department, Nov. 7, 1848. " From the official statement now before me, setting forth the condition of the Treasury, and the amount of money required by it during the present month of November and of December ensuing, it is evident that the means of the Government will be ample to liquidate all claims kainst it up to the Ist of January next, without calling in before that date any further payments on account of the loan of 1848; and desiring to save:the Government the expense of all unnecessary interest, notice is hereby given to all the successful bidders for that loan, by whom any balance is still due, that they are permitted to postpone any further payment until the Ist of January near. Al! bidders desirous of avail• ing themselves of the benefit of this notice, will please advise the department on or before the 15th of December nez t." Foreign Exchanges has advanced considerably, though the demand is by no means active ; it now rules at from 109 to 1091, and even 110 on Lnndon, according to the character of bills. Freights are really active ; cotton to Liveipool 3-16 d. to id. ; heavy goods, 25s to 325. 6d. per t n; beef and pork, 3s. to 3s. Odd. per barrel ; flour, 2s. 33. to 2s. 6d. ; seamen's wages to Europe, 15 dolls., with small stores. Flour to London, 2s. 6d. to 3s. Ashes go off with small sales only, and pearls are a shade higher—say G dolls. 25c., pots 6 dolls. 121 c. The eff, et of the European news upon cotton is that of a very ekcich.d reduction—say from 7 1- to t of a cent. It has never, I believe, been so low at this season of the year. On Thursday lost 3,000 bales were sold in New York, and the sales since have averaged from 800 to 1,000 bales per day. I subjoin the last quotations from actual sales— Up. and Flo.

Liverpool coal has advanced, with brisk demand, to 9 dolls. and 9 dolls. 25c. In breadstuffs the sales are large, and the prices are maintained, under an apprehension that the canals may be closed with frost before a sufficient supply has ar rived in the Atlantic cities for winter consumptictz and export.

Provisions are somewhat dull, with small sales of mess pork at 12 dolls 87ic.; prime ditto, 8 dolls. 87i -c. Beef shows no change. Lard, 6 / c. for common to 7c. for strictly prime. Cheese, 6c. to qc. for good lots. The last large tea sale in New York went off at previous prices. Scotch pig iron is active at 20 dolls. cash, and 22 dolls on time. Transactions in rice are small at 3 dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls. 58c. per 100Ibs. cash. In conne*ion with bread-stuffs and provisions, the fol lowing table of the receipts of p roduce this year , and the two previous years , at the port of New York, will afford valuable information:— EECILIVAS OF PRODUCE AT TIDE WATER. 1846. 1847. 1848.

PUBLICUS. A Washington correspondent of yesterday's New York Herold says— " The amount of stock of the late loan, issued - on fo reign account this week, was unprecedentedly large, be ing over a million of dollars. It was apportioned as fel lowsi—England, 764,100 dolls.; Spain, 13,000 dolls.; France, 36,300 dolls.; Germany, 167,000 Rio, 4.000 dulls.; Switzerland, 1,800; Madeira, 7,000 dolls.; Canada, 80,000 dolls.—Total, 1,073,700 dolls. " But a small portion of this was issued on account of Messrs. Corcoran and Riggs. Madame Josephine Weiss,. the directors of the Viennoise children, took 47,000 dolls. under the head of Germany. She, in the first place, purchased treasury notes of the issue of 1847, to the amount of 45,000 dollars, and then funded them in-stock, together with the interest which had accrued -2,000 dolls. We recommend gentlemen who have nothir.g to do, to figure up how many steps must have been danced in order to acquire such a snug little fortune as the won . thy lady has just invested in United States stock. We have reason to believe that Mr. Barkly, M.P. for Leominster, leas been appointed to succeed Sir J. Light as Governor of British Guiana. Mr. Barkly is, we believe, a West India proprietor, and has obtained, during his short e xperience in rcorliament, considerable distinction by the knowledee he has displayed on com mercial and colonial subj ects. Mr. Barkl y was not a suppor t er of the pretent Gov(rnment, and his appoint ment cannot, therefore, be attributed to political fa youritisra.—Times, '
