CHERLTBINI Was accustomed to compose frequently when surrounded by friends. If his ideas did not flow quite so freely as he could wish, he would borrow a pack of cards from any one who chanced to possess it, and draw caricatures of faces and heads within the pips which were redolent of all kinds of humorous devices, for he was quite as facile with his pencil as his pen, though history has now emblazoned his name as enrolled among the " honoured few" in that art in which he so pre eminently shone. He would then indulge in sometimes quiet and subdued smiles, at others in boisterous and ;perry peals of laughter, which rarely failed to bestow on his mind the imagination necessary to accomplish the lesign on which he was engaged. Imagination was indeed all that was needful to this great musician, for he was one of the greatest theorists and contrapuntists the cause of music ever boasted. DOMENICO SCARLATTI. It is well known that Thomas Roseingrave first in troduced to a British public the works of the great pianofore writer Scarlatti. Roseingrave was very ec ..ientric, and was the organist of St. George's, Hanover square. his father was Daniel Roseingrave, the organist St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. His description of he emotion he experienced on first hearing Domenico Scarlatti perform on the harpsichord is as curious and interesting as his mode of relating it was amusing. Making a short stay at Venice on his way to Rome, he received an invitation as a stranger and a cognoscento, to a concert at the palazzo of a noble. In due time ho was invited to sit down at the harpsichord and oblige the company with an extemporaneous performance as specimen della virtu of his musical abilities. " Feeling, as he afterwards said, " rather in better courage and finger than usual, I exerted myself, and imagined by the applause I received, that my performance had made some impression on the company." The guests were then treated to a cantata which was sung by a pupil of Gasparini, and after that a solemn and grave-looking young man, drt ssed "in robes of midnight hue," with a sable wig to match, and who had stood silently in ono corner of the room, very quietly and attentive, when Roseingrave played, was invited to sit down to the harp sichord. When the stranger began to play Roseingrave used to narrate in a manner so c om i c as scarcely to be described,—" I thought at least t en h u ndred devils had been at the instrument, for I had never heard such pas sages of execution or such novel effects before. His per formance so far surpassed mine, and every degree of perfection at which I had thought it possible I should ever arrive, that if I had been within reach of any in strument with which I could have committed the deed, I verily believe I should have cut off my fingers." To his inquiry as to the name of this miraculous performer, (for his time, let it be understood, however,) he received the reply," Domenico Scarlatti." Ile was the son of the celebrated Scarlatti; and Roseingrave was wont to asse verate that he did not after this display touch his instru ment for a month. JARNOWICS _ _ _ Being on one occasion in the bureau of Bailleux, - the music seller, or as the foolish Parisians lay, "Editeur de Alusique," accidentally broke a pane of gass. The keen, avaricious eyes of Bailleux twinkled in a moment, pro ducing a corresponding twitch on both sides of his mouth. " Those who break windows must pay for them !" exclaimed he. " Right !" replied Jarnowick, " right ! What is the damage?" "Thirty sous 1" " Well then ! th ere ' s a th ree -f ran c piece." " I have n o change, Monsi eur ! "Oh neve r mind," rejoined the imperturbable Jarnowick, at the same time dashing his erne through a second square, " there now, we are quits." MUSIC OF NATURE. • Among the Javanese there exists a tradition which relates, that their first idea of music arose from the cir cumstance of one of their ancestors having heard the air make a melodial sound as it passed through the hollow of a bamboo, tube which happened to be hanging acciden tally from a tree. It induced him to imitate it. Thus, perhaps, may be derived the fable that music descended from heaven. They have a very curious species of celian instrument formed of bamboo, very common to some of the Australasian isles, which emits as well some very fine tones as elicits some most discordant notes. H NDEL'S RIVAL. Sarah Duchess of Marlborough (vide her Private Cor respondence, published in 1838) made in her private jour nal the following entry: " 1737—1 am i❑ pursuit of get ting the finest piece of music that ever was heard ; it is a thing that will play eight tunes. Handel and all the great musicians say it is beyond anything they can do, and this may be performed by the most ignorant person. And when you are weary of those eight tunes, you may have them changed for any other you like. This I think much better than going to an Italian opera or to an assembly. This performance has been lately put into a lottery, and all the Royal Family chose to have a great many tickets rather than to buy it, the price being, I think, ONE THOUSAND POUNDS, infinitely less than some bishoprics have been sold for (!:), and a gentleman won it who, I am in hopes, will sell it, and if he will I will buy it, for I cannot live to have another made, and I will carry it into the country with me." In honest faith the grinder of this delectable instrument,." which plays eight tuneo," might have been in time no unformidablo rival of the " modern Briareus," as Pope called him—Handel!— if the hydra headed monster Fashion had followed in the same wake as Sarah Dnehess of, Marlborough. HAYDN A short time subsequent to his return to Vienna mot Prince Lobkowitz, then as well recogp , zed as a great protector of music and patron of its votaries, as a theo• rc-ticiau and practical virtuoso of no mean order. by have you never written au instrumental quintets?" he in quired of Haydn. To this tho great-souled German re • plied that he had never for one instant dreamed of such a thing till he had heard Mozart's celebrated quintetts, and that he found those so sublime and perfect that he could not presume to put himself, as it were, in competi tion with so illustrious a composer. "Well, then," re turned the Prince, "do not think of that; write me one, and you shall have no cause of which to complain!" Urged in this manner, Haydn set strenuously to work, and in a short time laid his manuscript before the Prince. Running his eye over the first page, he beheld a score of five lines, but of which the fourth was vacant of notes. Ha took no notico of this at first, imagining that Haydn, in common with some other composers, had commenced the quintett in four parts, intending to add the fifth at some other time; but no! on inspectin 2 ; the whole manu script he found the same line empty throughout. Turn ing to the smiling composer he exclaimed," How is this, my dear Haydn? You appear to have forgotten the fifth part." "Oh no! your Highn ess, . was the reply of Haydn, " I have Mt it for y ou to fill up; you will do it better than I can." As cunnin g and courtierlike a reply as ever emanated from the so ldi arlike flattery of a Richelieu or the more delicate and subtle brain of a Machiavelli. In the hull Packet of last Week, there is a report of a case tried at the County Courts, Hull, on the 2I at of October, in which Thomas Dixon, cook and seaman, sought to recover 91. 3 5 ., f rom Mr. William Brown, being wages due to him had hea plaintiff allowedn to go the voyage id n in the Stentor. The puttingdetailed all the circum stances connected with th e back of the ship i n t o Grimsby Roads, and swore most distinctly that he off ere d to the master to proceed with would have her properly repaireda the shndsui p r , y eyed provided h ,seet h a e t it might be proved that s h e condi tion. Other seamen were calred es iin a seaworthy a brief absence, the jury ca me i n corroboration. After n calculation of what was due tot t h o court, having made a g iving in the verdict they asked plaintiff, but before re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, w the Judge if they hether or not it would affect the sea-worthiness of the vessel ? On being told that it would, the foreman said they w ou ld re t urn a ver diet for the defendant, but, at the same time recommended him to make some allowance to th e plaintiffhe had been employed on board the vessel. for the time this jury composed o • I rish, and of the proscribed creed? IRISH FISHERIES.—BENEFITS OV CURING STA TIONS.—We have heard from one of the curing stations, Killybegs, where they have a considerable quantity of dried fish cured in the most superior style—that the prospects are most cheering. In ono week of the early part of last month 300 barrels of fish were cured; and during the last week 30,000 fish were caught and cured at this one station. What a proof this is of what may be done by perseverance. These fish-curing stations are admirable model schools for the neighbouring fishermen. The Parliamentary reports now before us show how pro fitably these curing establishments have been conducted. (here really is no more legitimate—no more safe field for speculation in Ireland; and we are truly gratified to learn that the efforts of the Board of Works, as fishery commissioners, have induced enterprising individuals to enter into this most profitable trade.—The Advo ca t e (a new Dublin paper). PR OVIDENTI AL ESCATE.—On Wednesday morn i ng the guards upon the nine o'clock train observed, on run ning up the platform to tho North-Western station at Euston-square, a man walking up the line, and imme diately put on the breaks with great force, so as mate rially to reduce the speed of the train. The first carriage, however, struck the man violently across. the loins, a n d hurled him sixteen feet from the spot. lie fell between the rails, and the train passed over him ; but, beyond some severe bruises, he was unhurt. The man, whose name is Hebert, says he was quite aware of his dreadful position the moment he fell; and that he knew if he escaped death by the carriages that he should be safe, unless the train were propelled by an engine in the rear; and in this horrible uncertainty he lay crouched up, awaiting his fate, till aroused to a knowledge of his safety by the astonished bystanders. SUICIDE FROM THE DAHLIA, RIYER I,TRAM-DOLT. —Mr. Bedford held an inquest yesterday, at the West minster Hospital, on the body of Jane Brett, aged 64, of No. 14, Red Lion-street. The deceased, it appeared, had for some time been out of her mind, and havi ng attempted to hang herself a short time ago, her family closely watched her. On Monday last, as she appeared quite calm and collected, she was allowed to go out alone. She went directly to London bridge, got on board the Dahlia steamer, and on reaching Westminster -bridge leaped into the water. A hitcher was extended to her, and, though she twice thrust it away, she was caught and taken ashore, after she had been in the water about two minutes. She was then alive and sensible, but she died ten minutes after her admission to th e h ospital. Verdict, <<Temporary insanity. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— On Tuesday, the 31st ult., were married at Petworth Church, by the Rev. Thomas Jockett, rector, Richard Southweli Bourke, Esq., eldest son of Robert Bourke, Esq., of Hayes, in the county of Meath, to Blanche, third daughter of Colonel Wyndham, of Petworth, Sussex. At the close of the ceremony the bridal party returned to Petworth House, where a sumptuous dejeuner was prepared; so on after the bride and bridegroom departed for Sandhurst, the seat of the .[lon. Francis Scott. THE MAGAZINES. BLACKTVOOD. Decidedly the most felicitous contribution in the November number of Blackwood is the article entitled " What is Spain About ? " The writer is no sui erfi cial observer of the progress of events in the Perlin sula. His scrutiny penetrates through the murky atmosphere which has latterly enveloped Madrid, and which is principally attributable to the misrepresen tations of the Herald() and the other mendacious pub lications in the pay of Narvaez and Christina. That our estimate of the importance of the Carlist move ment in the northern provinces, is coincident with that of Blackwood, we need scarcely declare after the appearance (now some eight or ten days since) of the leading article, in which we tracked the rise and progress of the great cause under the ban ners of the indefatigable and heroic Ca brera. Maga takes precisely the same view of the chances in favour of Montemolin, and certainly the patriotic dream of Escosura seems to be very rapidly approaching its realisation. By the amalga mation of the Carlists of the vielle and of the lende main (for there are both), with the vast party of the Progressistas, the miserable creatures who uphold the ricketty power of Valencia and Rianzares must inevitably and speedily be outnumbered. Especially is this the case, now that the most distinguished and enlightened Progressistas Escosura and Olozaga, and we might even say Espartero among the fore most—have recognised the accuracy of the opinion expressed more than a year back by a Spanish gentle man of intellect and patriotism—" Las voluntades de todos 8C acordarian facilmente silos qua los dirigen supieran der un egemplo de nuzgnanimidad, sin aban donar lo que es deber y prudencia guardar." That prototype of patriotic plasticity has been afforded, and the result must very soon be conspicuous in the events which are now on the eve of transpiring in Catalonia and the adjacent provinces. Our old friend Dunshunner revels in an absurd caricature of " Germany and its Parliament." The deductions of the writer are something miraculous after his acknowledgment that the infinitessimai divi sion and sub-division of Germania into thirty-eight independent sovereignties is subversive of all nationality, and incompatible with the maintenance of a prolonged tranquillity. The political article in the number is an earnest demand for " Conservative Union," preceded by an eulogistic allusion to the late leader of the Opposition, the gallant but headstrong Bentinck. The excessive empressement with which Ebony entreats Sir Robert Peel to abandon the idea of ever again leading those country gentlemen of England who are still infatuated with Protection, is to us marvellouslydroll, and will prove, we doubt not, equally funny to the illustrious Baronet himself. It is as wild an entreaty as though some little cantan kerous urchin were to implore the moon not to come down and gambol with it in the nursery. Never fear, say we, Sir Robert has no ambition ever again to bestride the Rozinante of obsoleteism. In the course of an entertaining paper on " The Naval War of the French Revolution we meet with a very ingenious calculation of the forces at Waterloo —the Allied Forces being described as merely 40,000 strong, of raw recruits of all nations and languages, and tactics and uniforms, while Napoleon's army is said to have consisted of 80,000 veterans ! Will the truth never be admitted ? Shall the perverse spirit of the notorious charlatan, Colonel Mitchell, infect even the honest heart of Blackwood? Why history defies a disproof of the fact that Napoleon's army (composed of conscripts hurriedly collected together by the Pere Violette during the Hundred Days) was outnumbered from the dawn of the 18th of June, 11115, and that on the evening of that day, when the Prussians arrived on the field of battle, the allies were very nearly two to one when contrasted with their antagonists! Let the truth be spoken at all hazards. Fiat justitia ruat ca'lum. It has be come the prescriptive right, as it were, of those Eng lishmen who are vain-gloriously disposed to belaud the Duke of Wellington until the ignorant would imagine him to be at last a demi-god in the science of war. History will say whether the General who was fighting for five years in the Spanish Peninsula against a few of the superfluous or supernumerary legions of France, and who afterwards (by the help of a vast preponderance of numbers and of the convenient treachery of Grouchy and Fouche) gained a single battle in Belgium, is to be even named in the same breath with the great warrior who conquered nations in Asia, in Africa, and in Europe; who at different times vanquished Egypt, and Italy, and Holland, and Germany, and Spain, and Portugal, and Prussia, and Austria, and Russia; whose banners floated in triumph over all the great capitals of the Continent, over Milan, and Rome, and Naples, and Berlin, and Vienna, and Madrid, and Lisbon, and Moscow; who from a sub-lieutenant of artillery became an Emperor and a King, and who gave laws to the millions of Europe through a code which invests him with the glory of a Lycurgus or a Justinian. History will speak—in a voice of thunder. After the final portion of "Life in the Far West," there is a graceful memento of one of the most youthful and promising contributors to Blackwood, we mean the late "George G,,, F h,ee r eon ed rEtga e ier r gys i h ck ,otbneyn lzton t t ht u ." " Satires and Caricatures of Eighteenth Mr.cC o e r n v t irc u i gr m emorials s a a w p l o e r a ok s f n tnahlt already r ar u dey n i g n cn i r n i g toi fc c i o st m ehde by ourselves. There are two poetical contributions in the current number; one by W. E. A., called the " Danube and the Euxine," full of vigour and melody ; the other " 9. Call," which evidently testifies that the lady who penned the verses has no " call" whatever herself to the art of poesy. Besides the articles already enumerated, there is a notice of the Castlereagh Papers, and a slashing review of the feuillitenists in a chapter headed a " Parcel from Paris." So much for the variety and excellence of Blackwood in November. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The very first page of Bentley this month presents to our view a most effective drollery by Leech, " Dr. Dodge in the Apple-room." The school eclogue, of which this is an illustration, is a dry quaint bit of humour. George Hodder dishes up a Tete de ems, au saven. Abraham Elder furnishes an account of a marvellous wild beast tamer; and Alfred Crowquill gives a humorous fairy tale, of which the genius of Crochet is the heroine. These are the lighter ar ticles. As a transition from the gay to the grave, we have Albert Smith's "Recollection of a Cheap Tour." The corps of Bentley is rich in tourists. Mr. War ren continues the narrative of his "Adventures on the Banks: of the Amazon ;" and the author of " Way side Pictures," continues his delightful reminiscences of Normandy and France. Avranches and Mont St. Michel are the subjects on which he treats in this number. His picture of the gloomy old fortress Mont St. Michel is admirable, and the legends which he relates of the old Mount are full of interest, and are excellently well told. His picture of Avranches, with its hilly streets, muddy lanes, and picturesque neighbourhood, is a perfect daguerreotype. The following observations on the character of the English residents at Avranches are well worthy the study of all who desire to settle in remote Continental or Channel islands, or even out of-the-way English watering places, " to live cheap." The seek e r o f " cheap living presents every where the same characteristics : " It is a strange thing that we cannot agree amongst ourselves in settlements which we select for our own con .'e sience, and where it is so essential to our comfort to promote cordiality and good-fellowship. But an Englishman carries with him, wherever he goes, two , obstinate antipathies : first, a disrelish, or contempt, for ' everything that is not English ; second, a freezing sus picion and distrust of everything that is. He moves in a repellant atmosphere, shuts himself up in a crust of prejudices, and has a way of disdaining the people, whose resources he has come to eat up, and at the same time of shunning his own countrymen, which is irre concilable with common sense. He dislikes the French because they are French, and avoids the English because they are English. Such is literally the logic of his national aversions. In places like Avranchcs, which are selected on the common ground of cheapness, this latter antipathy shows itself in its most unworthy asps 3t. An Englishman will have it believed that every body has come there for economy, except himself; and his conduct implies a sort of superiority over them which must be unintelligible to people like the French, who never suffer such considerations to interfere with their sympathies, or interrupt the flow of social inter course. The prevailing occupation of a community that thus sits in judgment on itself is scandal of the meanest kind. Each individual seems to think the depreciation ))f other people's character indispensable to the elevation of his own. He shines by the force of contrast. He makes out his case, not upon its own merits, but by damaging the case of the gentleman over the way. Next-door neighbours supply the who le business of life. They cannot dress, dine, walk without being exposed to an incessent inqule colonyisition. in n ab t o factions i tuel defamationthathave. graduallyve their co ha splits up the distinct circles holding no intercourse with the rest, and waging against each other that bitterest of all species of warfare, which, not content with open manifestations of derision and hostility, penetrates to the secrets of house holds, end strikes its shafts into the core of domestic life: , We have vet enother I raveller to whom to pay our homage—Mrs. Ward, who in the " Emigrant Party" breaks, comparatively speaking, new ground, a n d introduces vs to the Boers and Hottentots, and Kafirs of the wilds of Southern Africa. Mrs. Ward is a most agreeable traveller, and we trust that this will not be the last Treck of which she will give es a narrative. This number is likewise rich in biography. Besides an account of the latter years of the Emperor Charles V., we have an interesting biography of Maria Edge worth, and another of poor Captain Marry at, the latter illustrated by a life-like portrait. We have also an elaborate review of the Fairfax manuscripts, which may likewise, perhaps, be classed under the head of biography. Maxwell continues his painful yet powerful " Queen's Bench Sketches," and he cer tainly goes far to prove the truth of the dictum of Lord Eldon—" The law of arrest for debt is a per mission to commit greater oppression and inhumanity than are to be met in slavery THE NF, WV MONTHLY. Mr. Dudley Costello, with all the zest of a bachellor, tell.; of the "Adventures of a Wedding Tour," and Mr. John Oxenford, throwing aside for once the wizard garment of a translator, recounts the fortunes of the Princess Adelaide, and depicts the marvels of Sir Strado's " Castle of Schildheiss." The names of the writer, familiarised by a thousand pleasant memories, will of themselves be ample guarantee for amusement. A Dr. Robert son Noel tries to be very funny a la Barham in travestying the "Legend of the most holy St. Dun stan, Archbishop of Canterbury." Let him hence forth be aware of this, that he has not even a rag of the selvidge of the cloak of Ingoldsby. Cyrus Redding resumes his " Reminiscences of Campbell," and is as agreeably gossipping as ever. In addition to the foregoing, we have a sonnet by Captain Med win ; and further con tributions from Long, Rowcroft, Napier, and Jolly Green. DUTIES ON FOREIGN CORN. WHEAT. I EARLEY. 1 OATS.

This was the first day of Michaelmas term, and the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of having to entertain the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast at his resid, nee, and having also to approve of the Lord Mayor Elect, did not take his seat in Westminster till shortly before two o'c!ock. _ _ _ - - His Lordship, on taking his seat, proceeded to hear motions, none of which possessed any points of interest. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the RoLLs, on taking his seat to-day, at two o'clock, in the Rolls' Court, Westminster, stated, that it was his intention, in accordance with the arrangements that had been entered into, to sit at Westminster till Saturday next, after which he should sit at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane, and should con tinue to do so till the Lord Chancellor sat in the House of Lords, when ho would sit in his Court at Westminster. We understand that it is arranged that all the Equity Courts shall sit at Lincoln's Inn when the House of Lords does not sit, and at Westminster when it does. Nothing particular occurred today in the Vice-Chan cellor of England's, or the Vice-Chancellors Wigram or Knight Bruce's Courts. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas term, Lord Chief Justice Denman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Jus tice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erie took their seats upon the bench shortly before two o'clock. Their Lord ships were in full dress. Their Lordships immediately proceeded to hear motions, but no case of importance came before the Court. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Park, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Rolfe took their seats upon the bench at quarter to two o'clock. REEDY V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. This action, which was brought to recover compensa tion for loss of life occasioned by: an accident on the Leeds and Dewsbury line, was tried before Mr. Justice Cresswell at the last Yorkshire assizes, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. Mr. KNOWLES, with the leave of the Learned Judge who tried the case, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered fur the defendant, or why a nonsuit should not be entered, on the ground that the company were not the responsible parties for the injury sustained by the scold/ant. The COURT granted a rule. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Judges who presided in this court 1, are Lord Chief Justice Wilde, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Jus tice William.. The CHIEF JUSTICE having intimated to Mr. W a l_ linger that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to confer upon him the honour of Queen's Sergeant, re quested him to take his seat within the bar. The Learned Gentleman bowed to the Bench and took his place beside the rest of the learned gentlemen of the first row. The first case that was proceeded with was that of Ebirfield v. True, which presented no feature of im portance. A rule for a new trial was granted. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under Sheriff 1311nonsta..) AIMENCE OP WITNESSES.—There were two cases set down for hearing, but after the jnry had been called it was found that none of the witnesses were present. The Learned UNDER ,VERIFY said that he could not keep the jury waiting. A solicitor said the notice of executing the writ stated that it would take place between the hours of eleven and one, and the witnesses might have considered they wero not required to attend punctually at eleven. The UNDER SHERIFF said he had nothing to do with that; the cases were called on i❑ rotation, and if the par ties were not prepared the cases must be struck out. This was accordingly done, and the witnesses were called on their recognizances, and by non-attendance have rendered themselves liable to all costs incurred through their neglect. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. APPOINTMENT OF THE SESSIONS FOR NEXT YEAR. These sessions, after a sitting of no less than nine days, were concluded yesterday, and this morning the Judges attended to appoint the sittings of the Court for the remaining part of the present, and the first ten months of the next year. The Judges present at half-past eleven o'clock were Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Ba ron Rolfe, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Wil liams, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Justice Coleridge. The following aro the days appointed by their Lord ships for the sitting of the Court for the next tr►clyo months: FRANCE. The following appeared in the Moniteur : "Subsequently to the questions addressed to the Cabinet, relative to the banquet of Toulouse, two in quiries had been ordered, one of an administrative na. ture, confided to a councillor of the prefecture, and the other of a judicial character, conducted by a judg of instructioe. 131 witnesses were examined in the first, and 57 in the second. Those inquiries gave the following results:—The democratic ban quet of the 22d September had been originally organized with a violent and culpable intention, which appeared to have been modified when the authorities consented to be present at it. It would ► e wrong, moreover, to suppose that the ideas of the founders were shared by all the guests. In accepting the invitation made to him, the prefect expected that his presence would restrain the malcon'ents and pre vent the disorder he apprehended. The decorations of the enclosure in which the banquet took place had been greatly exaggerated. The badges of the stewards were made of red worsted ; the pillars were covered with red paper. Some of the guests wore red dahlias in their hats, but a greater number wore the tri-coloured cockade, and all the flags, which surrounded the bust of liberty, and waved at the extremity of the pillars, bore the national colours. The two toasts to the National Assembly and to the Chief of the Executive Power were interrupted by insulting murmurs and cries, proceeding from one point of the hall, but which were immediately repressed. The authorities were saluted with respect when they retired. They were absent, when a column of about 1,000 persons, who had not all participated in the banquet, began to tra verse the streets of Toulouse, preceded by the sappers and drummers of the National Guard. During the to multuous promenade,violent cries directed against a por tion of the population of Toulouse were uttered. A few infamous cries were also heard. It is to be wondered that no attempt was made by the authorities to arrest the progress of those manifestations, which terminated of themselves. It is exceedingly regrettable that the representatives of the Government should have taken part in a reunion from which they could not abso lutely exclude the spirit of disorder, and thus have placed themselves in the impossibility of preventing the tumultuous scenes of the evening. The difference which subsequently arose between the prefect and the Council General of Upper Garonne was the conse quence of it. The good intentions of the prefect cannot be questioned ; but it was to be feared that he could not retain in the department the high influence and the moral authority of which the Government stands in more need than ever. Those reasons have induced the Government to utilize elsewhere the tried zeal of that functionary and his incontestable devotedness to the Republic, by removing him to the prefecture of the Vendee. The ftioniteur publishes the returns of the corn trade, in the different markets of France, during the two first weeks of October, from which it appears that the hectolitre of wheat sold on an average at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles, for 171. 7c. ; at Marans and Bordeaux, 15t. 18c. ; at St. Laurent and Le Grand Lemps, 16f. 40c.; at Mulhausen and Strasburg, 16f. 12c. ; at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Suissons, Paris, and Rouen, 15f. 99c. ; at Saumur and Nantes, 14f. 47c.; at Metz, Verdun, and Char leville, 13f. 39c.; at St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and Hennehon, 15f. 85c. A popular banquet at lf. 50c. a head, at which M. Pierre Leroux presided, took place atßatignolles- Monceaux, under the walls of Paris, on Tuesday afternoon. It was attended by at least 1,000 opera tives, the greater number of whom reside in the neighbouring villages. Several of the National Re presentatives had been invited, but only two, MM. Pierre Leroux and Grappo, attended. The assem blage separated without the slightest confusion or disturbance. PRUSSIA. In its sitting on the 28th ult., the Assembly of Prussia elected M. Unruh President, in the room of M. de GrabJw, resigned, by 177 votes against 170 given to M. Philipps. M. Unruh is chief of the moderate Liberal party; DI. Philipps belongs to a more advanced party. M. Waldeck was elected a Vice-President, defeating Al. Auerswald, formerly Minister of the Interior. A letter from Berlin, of the 28th ult., says that, in the meeting of the Democratic Congress on the pre vious day, reports were presented on the progress of democracy in different parts of Germany. At Hano ver' it was stated there is only one Republican club, and there are few in Hamburgh, Bremen, Holstein, and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburgh. All the speakers distinctly declared that the object of the clubs was the establishment of the Republic, and some added the Red Republic, which excited great applause. A deputy of Electoral Hesse said— " Citizens ! We shall have no repose until all the German Princes shall be driven from their thrones! " This drew forth tremendous shouts of approbation. The Congress has resolved to nominate a central committee for Republican propagandism in Ger many, and other committees charged to report on matters affecting the Republican cause. The discus sions of the Radical Members of different Parliaments of Germany had commenced. A congress of National Guards is to be held at Berlin towards the middle of the present month. AUSTRIA The Vienna Gazette of the 24th ult., and the Augsburg Gazette, announce that Prince Win dischgratz has been summoned to join the Em peror at Olmutz. The latter journal adds that an armistice had been concluded till Friday, the 27th ultimo ; but this is not credited. The aqueduct of Nussdorf at Vienna had been destroyed by the troops, and water had failed in several faubourgs. Some journals pretend that a violent discussion had arisen between Windischgratz and Jellachich, owing to the latter refusing to submit to the former's orders. __— TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING. Six o'CLocx. No business done. i AR a T r l t A i A l . — OaRtT Government , OCT. e general cour t l‘ court m at eleven o'clock this morning, to try Privat e Matthew, Toomey of the 28th Regiment, on the followingchargs assembled at • march nm house,t --1 —l. That on the Ist of August, 1848, he refused to obey L the orders of Captain Alexander Frazer, while on in Hyde-park, London ; and 2. That at time same and place he endeavoured to strike Captain Fr .i szsr a violent blow with his musket and bayonet. Captain Frazer deposed: I was marching my company through Hyde-park, London, on the Ist of August last. I had charge of a quantity of spare firelocks, which the men took by turns to carry. I observed one of the men had been carrying a spare firelock some time, and there fore told hiss to give it to Private Toomey, who refused to take it. I then took tho firelock, and said to Toomey, " Carry this firelock." He said, " I will not." I gave the firelock to another man, and told Sergeant Cerro' to take two men, and confine Toomey. While the sergeant was getting the men, the prisoner took his musket by the butt, and made a sweeping blow at me. He missed me, as I started back, but struck another man near him. lie then advanced out of the ranks on me; and I ran eight or ten yards off. I then turned to him, and he made a blow at me (or was bringing his piece from the port to the charge—l cannot tell which). I parried with my sword. I then closed, and seized him with my left hand. Some of the men ran up and secured him. This state ment having been corroborated by other evidence, the prisoner, in his defence, said he could scarcely carry his own musket, and that he told Captain Frazer so. The court, after a patient and careful hearing of the case, declared Private Matthew Toomey guilty on both charges. The sentence will not be made public till it has received the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief, .N . IIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates, sat yester day at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, to hear appeals. There were 77 cases on the list, 67 of which had re ference to parish settlements. The Court was occupied from ten o'clock till five in hearing the arguments of counsel, but nothing worthy of special notice occurred during the whole of the proceedings. THE SEA SERFENT.—Captain M`Quhse, the bio grapher of the sea serpent, had the honour of being en tertained at dinner by the First Lord of the Admiralty, on Monday evening, at his private residence, Eden Lodge, Kensington. A distinguished circle, including Rear -Admiral I)unda', senior Sea Lord, were inN Ited to meet the Gallant officer. REPORTED Loss OF THE NETLET, ORDNANCE SLOOP.—WOOLWICH, NOT. I.—Considerable alarm has been felt at Woolwich for the last few days, in conse quence of the non-arrival of the Nett( y, a schooner belonging to the Board of Ordnance, commanded by Mr. Fortunatus Pellatt, which is employed in conveying stores between the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and the arsenals at Portsmouth, Plymouth, &c. It appears that the Netley, which had a crew of six men and a boy, and was about eighty tons burden, left Del onport on the 23d of October, and no tidings have been heard of her since. She encountered very severe weather at the time, and it is feared that her cargo, which consisted of heavy guns and shot, shifted in her hold, and that she foundered at sea. The Queen schooner left Devonport on the 24th, a day later than the Netley, and, although she had to t batlinsed, lh Woolwich apiEir ofucrpsA o eapT n nit F tor:e trir r ts i th d oueL a tr y sysat encounter heavy s eas i n the Channel, arrived safe at lhfoaehecstaytisc:uoghTfialyvntn.e_hqnneen SOCIETY.--His munificent sar:nvaei Grace tewh b e oa e ut n bht ae mnssudAuacomderneeces Arch bishop f 2001. towards the funds of this society.

It is the memorable descent of the ver satile Scot from the summit of the column. Caroline de Crsspigny, not daunted by a "jewel of verse" almost synonymous in Coleridge, writes a long rhythmical effusion called "Genevieve." J. E. Car penter is still industrious in dashing melodies from his lyre. Charles Hervey gives us a droll ollapodrida of an article, " L'Embarras du Choix." And beyond these, we have the conclusion of " The Black Slaver," with the continuation of " The Countess of Rudolstadt" and " The Homesteads of Brittany." DOLMAN. In the November number of Dolman there are two charming biographies, one of Father Foley, and the other of Dr. Aloysius Gentili, the latter being the more attractive to Roman Catholics, as a memorial of one of their most eloquent and renowned missionaries. " The Plagues of the Church" is a paper of a theolo gical character. "The Broken Heart" is a simple and touching narrative, and the " Sketches of the Indian Archipelago" are crowded with useful infor mation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RICHMOND RACES.--TUESDAY.

HARROW ScHoor, OCT. 31.—The authorities of the far-famed seat of teaming at this place having rr ceived official intelligence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager's wish to visit the school on this day, proper preparations were made. Her Majesty artired about twenty minutes to three o'clock, and 'proceeded at once with her rumerous suite to the Speech-room, where the scholars were assembled. Here her Majesty begged an extra week's holiday for the school at Christmas, which was of course granted. Her Majesty left for her resi dence, Stanmore Priory, amid the loyal vud grateful cheers of upwards of 300 Harrovian. DEPARTURE OF THE INFAMOUS DOBBIN FROM CLONSIEL. The diabolical spy, Dobbin, left Clonmel on Tuesday. He was accompanied about a mile outside town, on the Cashel road, by a brace of policemen, and a young man dressed in black, who seemed to be his cicerone, but whose name our reporter could not ascertain. Two seats had been previously paid for by the half-past twelve o'clock car; one of those seats was occupied by an anxious -looking, taciturn female, aged about twenty eight years, who subsequently appeared to be the wife of the Red Hand informer, the other, us it afterwards turned out, was Dobbin himself! There sv( re also on the car Sergeant Hampden, and Privates Parson and Brien Hanrahan, of the Bth Hussars, witnesses in the state trials of th , e Killenaule barricades. Hanrahan we may state en passant, is a Clournel man, and was some time ago an apprentice of Mr. William Tei.ni son, painter and glazier, of Morton -street, in that town, from whom he made his escape without fulfilling the terms of hi s i n d entures. Braces of police occupied the road at intervals between Gibbett Hill (a most appropriate locality tor Dobbin), an d t h e Mile Tree; and when the car reached the latter place, some of the passengers recognised the cat-like features of the informer, and were horrified when they learned that he was about to be their companion to Thurles. With the exception of the three troopers, all w one accord vehemently protested that Bobbin should not sit on the car; but the troopers took the trembling wretch in charge, placed him, against the united declarations of the passengers, on the top of the luggage, atql he jour neyed to Cashel, where, in some time, as the car was changing horses, a crowd assembled, and having heard that the spy was in "the ancient City of the Kings," they raised a shout of execration, which must have gone to the heart, if he po:sesses such, of the miserable villain as he sought, from his " bad eminence," to conceal him self from the frenzied eyes of the multitude. The female was exceedingly terrified at this period; but even she did not at that time pretend to recognise the Attor ney-General's " gentleman," Mr. Dobbin. The car did not reach the Thurles terminus in time for the half past four o'clock train, and Dobbin, in charge of Private Parsons and Mrs. Dobbin,- with Private Hanrahan, pro ceeded to the station-house, where Sergeant Hampden obtained for the miscreant a place of security, sending the private to the police barracks for constables, who very soon arrived, and conducted Mr. and Mrs. Dobbin to a lodging-house, where they remained till morning. Not venturing to take the train, a special car was pro cured for them, on which they went at an early hour to Templemore, which they left by the ten o'clock train for Dublin.—Tipperary Vindicator. WHO DRILLED FALSE DOBBIN I' IN IMITATION OF " WHO KILL'D COCK ROBIN ?" SUGGESTED BY THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. Who drill'd false Dobin ? " I (says the Force), As a matter of course, I drill'd False Dobbin." Who gave the license ? " I (says the spy-law), With my little byelaw, I gave the license." Who paid his wages? " I (said John Bull), As my pockets are full, I paid his wages." Who made him witness ? " I (said the lawyer, Who spoke as top-sawyer), I made him witness." Who proved him doubtful? " I (said one Whiteside), In taking the right side, I proved him doubtful." Who are his victims I " We (say the traitors, Those troublesome craturs I) We are his victims 1" I. T. CIL FRATERNITY. Dream of the poet, can it be That thou art all Fraternity ? No: from a more than mortal voice, I hear the accent and rejoice, And deem the promise as the sun, When all the nations shall be one. Before old Time much longer roll Believe, the Russian and the Pole, Celt, Saxon, German, and the Dane; Jews, Moors, and eons of ancient Spain, Italians, Austrians—all shall be Linked in thy band Fraternity. Then hail ! thou universal good, All hail! thou general brotherhood, Type of that great and mighty change When mortals to a wider range Of thought and feeling soar ou high, Brothers in one eternity. PATENTED ELECTRIC LIGHT. We attended a private exhibition—if a gathering of nearly 700 persons deserves to have such a term applied to it—of this wondi rtel invention, at the Ilan iver square Rooms, on Monday evening. Mr. W. E. Staite, the inventor, who was ably assisted by his colleague (Mr. Petrie) explained at some length, and apparently with much satisfaction to the meeting, the properties of his light. The light, it appeat s, is produced oy a vol taic battery, containing a great number of improve • merits upon those used for ordinary electrical purposes. piey consist in having for their object these important nos —rendering the bats-,if constant and regular in its action old exceeding economics.' in its consumption of the material used. Tile improvement in the light consists in possessing the prnciple of self-r, gelation by means of the electrical eu , rent itself, which is made to pass through a small electromagnetic hel"e or magnet, so that the dynamical force of the cv-rent ocr'ng upon the escape ment causes the electrodes either to approach or recet-?e, according to the varying power of the current. The result of the whole is, that a light may be obtained at the most trifling cost—at not more than the cost of one penny for a light equal to 100 candles per hour. The cost is estimated at one-twelfth the price of gas. The entire quantity of electricity generated in the battery is made to develop itself in light instead of being allowed to pass uselessly through the electrodes. The consump tion of carbon is about half an inch per hour, and it cen be supplied for any length of time by a very simple contrivance, and the light may be caused or extinguished instantaneously. There is no fear of combustion, and the heat is yestly dispropor tioned to the light emitted. A light was exhibited of beautiful brilliancy and steadiness, scarcely distinguish able from the light of the sun; it was thrown upon some paintings of Mr. Talton, and the effect was most suc cessful. Fabrics, such as green and purple, not easily distinguishable in artificial light, were clearly visible. So also were the prismatic rays shown on the wall The tight in question was stated to be equal to 900 wax candles, and the heat estimated not to exceed that of a common argand burner. The current is made to pass through a coil of wire, or magnet, which actuates the escapement, attached to the electrode, which causes the electrode to move up and down according to the strength of the current, thereby altogether maintaining the same distance between the two electrodes, and making the light equable. The light is a pure white, much whiter than camphi ne , an d th e one we w i tnesse d, w hi c h brll- Handy illuminated the whole room, cast the wax candied in the chandeliers completely into the shade. The light seems peculiarly suited to all the purposes to which gas and o:1 are now applied. The patentees say It will be eminently valuable for lighthouses, rail way stations, signal lights, dock-) ards, theatres , iic Picture buildings, churches, clubs, exhibition - rooms , galleries, & c., &c. ; for large shops, where the exposure of delicate coloured fabrics is essential ; together with its application for the lighting of private house!, as it put in operation any s e m a a n n be cost, and with entire where e res a t n no ventilation, c om p araiivc a i r j id . safety. For light-houses it deserves to be separately noticed, on account of the immense benefit of its pene trating and powerful character, the remarkable economy of its adoption, arid the facility of working such a light by submarine wires from any station that may be selected, without the necessity of erecting a buildi ng exactly at the spot where the beacon may be required to be set up." In small lights for rooms, &c., the inventors state that they would dispe nse w i t h t h e use of carbon altogether , using another material not yet apecified,which w ill enable them to dispense with the electro-magnetic regulation altogether, by means of which a light of from one candle up to Chit ty or forty can be placed upon a drawing-room table. The manipulator was much cheered, and, alto gether, we have seldom seen any invention meet with such general approbation. The time, we imagine, is not far distant when lamps of this kind will be in copa l/11On use. We noticed amongst the company the following:— Admiral Sir E. Cod►ington; Captein Yollor, Royal En gineers; Mr. Clegg, engineer; Mr. Napier, of Glasgow; Professor Faraday; several Lords of the Adm;ralty and the Ordnance Office ; Mr. George French Brockenden; some members of the Trinity House; Dr. Reid and Dr. Clrticy. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER-HALL. , --• The first concert for the season of he Sacred Harmonic Society took place last evening at Exeter-hall, on which occasion Mr. Costa appeared for the first time as the conductor. The orchestra hrs undergone many im provements, not the least of which is the remove' of the unsightly wooden box in which formerly the conductor was ensconced; his seat is now placed at the edge of the front of the orchestra, this enabling hies to overlook each ;ndividusl of this immerse mass of musicisos, and placing the principal singers in full view of him. The performance consisted of Mendelssohn's chef a macre, Eiijah, which Wl's never more effecr;.vtly given than it was last evening by the Misses Birch, Dolby, A. Williems, and Duvei, and by Messrs. H. Phillips and Lockey. The chorus and orchestra were admirably conducted by Costa, who was much applauded. The Hall was crowded. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TMBIYORE AND NET/- CASTLE RAILWAY.—The inquest on the bodies of the sufferers was opened by Mr. Favitl, the coroner, on Tues day, who, after hearing some evidence, adjourned the in qtOry until the 9th.
