The Milan Gazette of the 9th contains a decree of RADETSKY, prohibiting the exportation of oats, hay, and straw to Piedmont and Switzerland till further notice. The Venice Gazettes of the 4th and sth have come to hand. They contain no indication of the probabi lity of ALBIIII'B fleet sailing. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 11th contains a programme of the National Society, just founded, for the pro Motion of an Italian Confederation. Its prin ciples are the absolute independence of Italy from foreigners ; the maintenance of the union of Pied mont with the Duchies, and with the Lombardo- Venetian provinces, forming the kingdom of Upper Italy, under the constitutional sceptre of the house of Savoy ; and, lastly, the maintenance of the terri torial integrity and political prerogatives of the other Italian states, viz , the Pap;l States, the king dom of Naples, the kingdom of Sicily, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Republic of San Marino. Giowaseri is President of the society. TUSCANY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 12th contains advices from Leghorn up to the Bth. The new Pro visional Commission had named four committees, one for public security, one for public works, one for war, and lastly one for finance and provisions. The town was quiet. NAPLES. The .Risorgimento of Turin of the 12th states, from Naples, that the Chambers were prorogued on the sth to October 30. On that day a reaction of the mob broke out; it began between the police and the Thz zaroni, and was ultimately quelled by the intervention of the troops, who fired a few shots. SICILY.. The Constituzionale &hatpin° of Turin of the 12th has the following details from Messina, up to the 4th :—" Two gun-boats had been sunk by the Sici lians, but Fort Marregr:.sso, recently added to the new fortifications of Messina by the Sicilians, is said to have been demolished by the troop. The Sena torial Palace was said to be in flames. The Swiss made a sally from the citadel, but were repulsed with loss. The struggle was said to be desperate on each side. The Marseilles Semaphore states that Messina having been set on fire by the Neapolitans, was abandoned by the inhabitants, who, however, had mined it, and, after retiring from the city, sprung the mines, and blew the Neapolitans into the air. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR r. The September session was opened to-day with the usual formalities, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Gibbs, and the Sheriffs. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. He said the calendar contained a list of 176 prisoners, but that that number would in all probability be increased to 200 before the termination of their labours. He should allude in the course of his observations to the recent amendments in the criminal law, more especially to the " Act for the better Security of the Crown and Govern ment of the United Kingdom," as he collected from the depositions that thirty persons had been committed to take their trial under the provisions of that statute. There were three charges of arson; and amongst the offences against the person there was a charge of murder, in which a question would arise whether the person charged was insane or not at the time of the commission of the act imputed; but it was bis duty to tell them it the unlawful killing was proved, the question of the dis position of the offender must be reserved for another tribunal, the law having made a wholesome provision that a person found to be insane might be detained during the pleasure of the Crown: also a charge of manslaughter, ten charges of cutting and wounding, three charges of rape, seven of robbery, fourteen cases of larceny from the person, two charges cf de ft =ling money with threats, unaccompanied by personal violence; in all there were 38 cases of offences against the person, ranging from murder to larceny. Then there were 31 charges against parties accused of conspiracy to levy war against the Queen and her Go vernment. The Learned Recorder then adverted to the 11 and 12 Viet., c. 42, passed on the 14th of August, 1848, which authorises the committal of a person for m selemeanour without requiring bail; and the 23d see. vested in magistrates the discretion of either taking bail Or not. By the 11 and 12 Viet., c. 78, justices were ern powered to reserve questions of law, in order that they might be raised before the QU' en's Bench or the Barons of the Exchequer, whose decision should be final, respiting judgment in the meantime. Formerly the judges who tried a ease consulted with the other judges and advised them upon the matter. Now cases of the kind would be raised before the judges in the ordinary mttn• nor. In fact, the principle now in existence in the civil would be applied to the criminal law. He apprehended that great good would arise from this measure. The 11th and 12th Victoria, c. 46, made accessories before the fact equally as punishable as the principal offender. Now, all persons engaged in conspiring to further trea sonable or felonious objects were indictable as felons — of an offence short of high treason. This brought him to the " Act for the Better Security of the Crown and Government of the United Kingdom." It recited the 36th George 111., c. 7, and repealed the provisions of that Act, and the provi sion making it perpetual, passed in the 57th year of the same reign, except those relating to attacks upon the Sovereign. The treasons repealed in the Act of George 111. were renewed as felonies in the Act recently passed. The Act said that "conspiring to depose her Majesty or her heirs, or levying war, in order by force or strength to compel her or her Ministers to change their measures or Zeouncils, or in order to put any restraint upon them, or to intimidate or overawe either house of Parliament, or invite any foreigner to invade the United Kingdom, such compassing, imaginations, intentions, devices, or intentions, or say of there, or should express, utter, or de -0 Are such in advised writing or by advised speaking, shall be guilty of felony, and on conviction shall in the discretion of the Court be transported across the seas tbr the term of his or her natural life, or for any term not less than seven years, or to be imprisoned for a term not less than two years, with or without hard labour, as the Court shall direct." No doubt the peculiar phrase. ology, the "compassing to depose the Sovereign," sounded strangely to the jury, but the words were adopted from a former statute, VI hich spoke of treason, compassing, or imagining, were synonymous terms, and evidence of either constituted the overt act, punishable now as a fe lony. Coke said in his institutes, that a person intending tto overthrow or death of the Sovereign was by the old Lew equally as guilty as if he had committed homicide itself. The well being of the country was bound up with the existence of the Sovereign, and if the intentions of evil-disposed persons against the Crown and dignity were not suppressed, the consequence would be most disastrous to the country. The punishment formerly was capital; now it was not even capital, but a felony. By the Act from which he had quoted, the Government, in prosecuting parties for the offence recited, were relieved from many technicali ties and cumbersome machinery, which frequently •• - embarrassed, if they did not oft en entirely frustrate tho ends of justice. Under it offend ing parties could be more speedily and easily brought to justice, yet, notwithstanding, the came deer evidence was indispensable. Offences of this nature • would for the future be inquired into in the same man ner as ordinary felonies. The " levying war" involved itself in the same explanation; and the specific charge against the thirty-one persons would, he believed, re - solve itself into an "intention to levy war." Mr. Justice Bayley, addressing the grand jury on the trial of James Watson for treason, observed that it was not necessary to substantiate the charge, that an "or ganised force in military array " should be in existence to accomplish the end accused parties were supposed to have in view—intending an insurrectioa of a general nature, was sufficient to constitute the offence. In the course of his address that Learned Judge cited an in stance of a mob of 5,000 organising to put down brothels and houses of ill-fame, and although the parties were shown not to have acted from private feelings, but from a sense of public good, they were held to have committed high treason, or, in other words, to have " levied war." The same result followed the attempt to put down meeting houses although the parties declared that they believed they, • were doing a service to the Established Church in acting in the way they had. So in the case of Lord George Gordon, who with an armed mob made a crusade against Popery. Mr. J ustice Bayley said in conclusion, that all the Learned Judges agreed in this—not simply those called occasionally to try cases of the kind, hut " judges calmly deliberating in their closets and writing for posterity." Mr. Justice Abbott and Lord Ellenborough were of the same opinion, and Lord Te nterden, on the trial of Arthur Thistlewood, laid it down as his opinion tine the "intention constitutes the crime." Bayley said it "persons met together to endeavour to effectuate a rit i) compel his Majesty to change his measures and h's councils" they were guilty of the offence imputed t( the parties now in custody. Ile (the Recorder) under stood that there was much similarity between the cases of these persons and that of Thistlewood, am other conspirators, since, he understood, that arms were found in their meeting place, in their dwel lings, and also in their manegemtnt. It woule be for the jury to judge whether the evidence that would be adduced showed that the parties charged intended to effect the objects stated in the Act—whetker there was sufficient evidence of the overt act. Mtn some observations with respect to the case of arson are , some of the other cases, the Learned Recorder le mlttec the jury to their duties. Their Excellencies Uount Kielinansegge, Count I evel, mid Baron Rehauscn have been sojourning dur 131 the put week at Tunbridge Wells. THE STN, LONDON, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS; CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a Heady mat bet for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, the sales being 3,000 bales. Railway Shares continued very dull, and there were no symptoms of improvement. Prices were all lower. In one of the cemmunications remived by the lest arrival from America, it is stated, after some remarlis upon general topics— " Meantisne all is quiet, easy, and prosperous in the United States. The termination of the Mexican war, albeit leaving behind it a debt of some sixty or seventy millions of dollars now ascertained, to say nothing of the endless contingent claims which follow in the path of war, is taken very quietly. It was a war that never pressed immediately upon our resources, nor interrupted our commerce, w bile it in fact invigorated many branches of home manufacture, so that the peace has not caused any marked change in affairs or rejoicings among the people. Mexico itself seems to promise something more of stability in its Government than we have been latterly accustomed to expect." The accounts from Schleswig and Copenhagen state that business was improving since the termination of the blockade, and that the ships rel-ased were gradually re turning to their destinations. Trade was also rather brisker in some of the other continental cities. _ _ The rate of Exclln4-e at Harnburgh on London, last Friday, rose from 13 61 to 13 61-, and paper was scarce. Bills on Paris also were wanted, and likewise on Vienna. Gold was at 486 i. Not much was doing in Stocks and Shares. At Berlin, on the 14th instant, the funds were flatter; but at Vienna, on the 13th, there nn as 20 improvement, for although home affairs were unsettled, the adviecs from Paris cunceming Italy were more satisfactory. The Corn Market is firm to-day. The accounts from Mancheaer state that trade last week was duller. The accounts from Portsmouth of the dispatch some what suddenly of an increased force of marines to Ireland, has caused an unsettled feeling again in the City, coming, as it does, upon a precious and very per ceptible state of flatness and inanition. The reports of the potato crops are likewise not by any means satisfactory, and, although in foreign politics there is nothing new, and Paris is represented to be more tranquil than usual ; the increased and pressing pecuniary wants of the French Government, and the great arrears of taxes, show how far matters are from being in a flourishing, or even a safe position. If we add to these causes the absence from town of many of our leading merchants and moneyed men, we shall have explained the causes of the existing dullness. Influenced by the causes above noted, the Funds are heavy, though with scarcely a bargain doing, either by sale or purchase, to test their strength. Consols have been 85i to 86 for present transfer, and 86 to 86i- for October. Exchequer-bills of March have been 295. pre mium, and India Bonds of 1,000/., 28s. premium. East India Stock has been at 235. In the Foreign Market there is but one security in which bargains are officially quoted, viz., Chilian at 86 to 87k. Nominally, Spanish Three per Cents. are 22i to 234 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 214- to 22k; Mexi can, 161 to 17; Brazilian, 74 to 76 ; and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 441 to 45k. The Railway Share Market is rather better to-day, with a fair business doing in the lines which recently were most depressed. ONE P UCFS or BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. --- For our market, last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage, the arrivals of nearly every description of Grain of home produce, as well as Flour, were on a very limited scale, even the time of year considered, and the general quality of the samples was by no means first -rate—especially as relate to: that of those received from Essex and Kent. From Ireland and Scotland, the receipts:were trifling in the extreme—they being confined to a few parcels of Barley, Malt, Oats, and Peas. The foreign imports were good, but by no means heavy—they having comprised 23,383 quarters of Wheat, 3,354 quarters of Barley, 12,186 quarters of Oats, 5 quarters of Rye, 6,561 quarters of Beans, 374 quarters of Peas, 15 quarters of Tares, 3,970 quarters of Linseed, 767 quarters of Rapeseed, 141 quarters of Mustard-seed, 1,955 quarters of sundry Seeds, including Indian Corn, 1,349 barrels and 1,793 sacks of Flour. Nearly the whole of the Wheat has been landed in bond, as a further decline in the duty to 4s. per quarter is expected to take place on Thursday next, after which day the bonded stocks will doubtl ess b e re l ease d f or h ome con sumption. Fresh up Ibis morning—the supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, C am b r id ges hi re, an d t h e ot h er near counties, was very moderate, and the condition of the samples was somewhat inferior compared with that of Monday last. Selected qualities of both red and white Wheat of home produce commanded a very steady sale, and i n some few instances a trifle more money, say is per quarter, was realised for such descriptions, and at which a good clearance was effected. In the middling and inferior kinds a fair average business was transacted at last week's quotations. At the close of the market very few samples rem a i ne d u nsold. Gen era lly spea king, the millers do not appear to hold large stocks. The quality of free Foreign Wheat on show was limited. Nearly all kinds moved off steadily, and last week's prices were well supported. Parcels in bond were held firmly for rather more money; and the same observa tions may be applied to floa ting cargoes. With English Barley we were very scantily supplied, and the show of Foreign was far from extensive. Prime parcels sold at full prices; but the middling and inferior kinds of grind ing and distilling were a dull inquiry, at a slight reduc tion in value. The supply of Malt was quite equal to - the . wants of the dealers. On the whole, the Malt trade was in a sluggish state ; but we 22 22% 24% 19 1 4 12% 12V B 42% 15 IV A 2 91i 24 4 1 A 26% 36 24 moNnAy EVENING, SEPTEMBER u 1848. have no decline to notice in value.

Oxen Cows 9,807 .... 19,807 Calves Sheep Lambs - 2,025 Pigs To-day we were again somewhat heavily supplied with foreign stock, a large portion of which was of very mid dling and inferior quality. All breeds met a dull sale, at drooping prices. The supply of home-fed Beasts on offer was very extensive as to number, it considerably exceeding that shown on this day se'nnight; but ita general quality was comparatively inferior, especially of relates to the droves from the western and midland counties. The attendance of both town and country buyers was by no means large, while the Beef trade ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quotations of Monday lest of 2d per 81bs. We may observe, how ever, that a few of the very, primest Scots were disposed of with difficulty at 4s per 81bs. A largo number of Beasts were driven out unsold at the close of business. From the northern districts we received about 1.200 short horns ; from the Eastern, Western, and blidland counties 1,100 Herefords, runts, Decor's, short horns, and Irish Beasts ; from other parts of England 1,200 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 220 horned and polled Scots, partly by railway. The remainder of the Bullock supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. There was a slight falling off in the number of Sheep ; neverthe less, the demand for that description of stock was heavy, and prices receded 2d per 81bs. A few very superior old Downs, which were scarce, produced 5s per Blbs. Long- woollcd Sheep generally were very dull. There was a fair average number of Lambs in the market. All breeds moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The sale for Calves was far from active, yet Friday's advanced rates were mostly supported.

The public sales held since our last report, have been well attended by English and foreign buyers, and a fair average quantity :of Wool has been disposed of, at full prices. The supplies on offer in the private contract market are large; while the demand for all descriptions is in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. TALLOW.

Mr. Wilson having been engaged by the cornm:ttee of the Whittington Club to giCe two of his ever popular entertainments, on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, the large room of the Crown and Anchor was crowded to excess with eager listeners. Mr. Wilson never was in better voice, and the entertainments were received most rapturously. The fi rs t evening he sang a selection of favourite songs, and on Saturday he gave his beautiful entertainment on Sir Walter Scott's '‘ Lady of the Lake," which was listened to with breathless attention, and applauded to the echo. Where all the songs are so exquisite it is difficult to particularise, but the audience set med greatly delighted with the fine spirited boat-song, " Hail to the Chief," with Norman's song " The heath this night must be my bed," and with the "Ave Maria," which was beautifully sung. After the Lady of the Lake, he sang some of his charac teristic songs, and in such a way as only he can sing them. "Young Loehinvar" was demanded a second time most vociferously, as were some of the humorous songs. Mr. Wilson is about to pay a visit to America, where we doubt not his entertainments will b e as success ful as they have been every w hero else ; for although many of his imitators have gone there before him, yet the Americans do not require to be told that Wilson, as he was the first, is still the best of all who have attempted this spccies of monologue entertainment, fur in all styles he is equally at home. In his plaintive strains he causer. many a tear to flow, in his humorous ones he provokes the liveliest laughter, and in his martial strains he inspires the most sluggish hearer with heroic enthusiasm. Before be crosses the Atlantic he is to give a farewell: enter which, l arge t h oug h i t b e . tainment in Exeter Hall, we are sure will not contain all the friends that would like to rally round Scotia's Minstrel cn this occasion. Next Thursday is the night on which he sings his farewell strains; the programme is made up of all his finest and most attract ive songs, and the cheers of those whom he has on many an occasion delighted will lighten his way ac ross the mighty deep. Success to him in his journey through the United States, and may he soon return to his " ain countrier EARLY CLOSING OF 13AN KER S .—M essrs .

The vintage will be in quality superior to that of 1846, and indeed to any known during tn:tny yefirs. In quantity it will not be more than an average one. The Marquis Ridoifi, late Minister of the Interior of the (rand Duke of Tuscany, but at present Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James's, left ntris for London, on Saturday. It is said that he has been instructed to propose to Lord Palmerston a Congress for the arrangement of the affairs of Italy. SPAIN. The Espana, of the 12th instant., states, that ac cording to letters received from the frontiers a new civil war is imminent in Navarre, the Basque Pro vinces, and Upper Arragon. It is raid that three Muntemolinists bands are expected from France, one to be directed towards the Mountains of Onate, an other in the direction of Amezcoa, and the third to Sanguesa. It is added that General Elio has planned this expedition. The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse of the 12th inst. at 191 cash; the Five per Cents. at 10; 4 1 paper ; Debt without Interest, at n; Coupons at 7 paper. SWITZERLAND. Ti:e Schwyzer Volksblatt announces the conclusion of a concordat between five of the Swiss cantons, viz., Friburg, Geneva, Vaud, Berne, and Neufchatel, respecting the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church to the state. The general object of this con cordat appears to be to maintain the sovereignty of the cantons inviolate, and at the same time to abstain from all interference with the doctrines and free ex ercise of the Romish religion. The concordat will be submitted for approval and ratification to the Federal Assembly. SAXONY. A revolt took place at Chemnitz, in Saxony, on the 11th inst. Barricades were formed, and the opera tives, reinforced by numbers from the suburbs, ln,;(1 attacked the troops, who were not sufficiently nu merous to offer an effective resistance. The distur bances originated in the determination of the populace to liberate a journeyman carpenter who had been im prisoned fourteen months without trial. ROMAN STATES. The accounts from Bologna i❑ the Costituzionale I Romano of the 6th are more favourable than ever. On the arrival of the Commissaries of the Pontifical Government from Rome, proclamations were posted up in the most conspicuous parts of the city, calling upon the inhabitants to restore order, but they were as speedily torn down. The chronicle of the corre spondent of the Constituzionale Romano at Bologna, a column in length, describes the state of affairs as most alarming. More assassinations were perpetrated on the 2d and 3d. Apprehensions were entertained that these crimes would be continued. On the 3d a certain Commissary of Police, named Bianchi, was murdered in his own house. Father Gavazzi was to deliver his third public discourse on the same day, but it was expected that his endeavours to allay the popular storm would be unavailing, and that he himself would be compelled to provide for his personal safety by flight. Cardinal Amat arrived at Bologna on the 2d. His carriage was dragged to the palace by the mob, the horses having been detached for that purpose. This apparent inconsistency on the part of the populace may be explained, perhaps, as before, by reference to the statement that the disorderly part of the inhabit ants includes mere'.y a miserable minority of incorri gible ruffians, who have succeeded in establishing a reign of terror in Bologna. TRIESTE. The Osservatore Triestino of the Bth publishes the official notification of the Count Gyulai, Commander of the Illyrian coasts, announcing the conclusion of an armistice with Admiral Albini, and the raising of the state of blockade with the military Government consequent thereon. Count Gyulai accordingly re signs his political powers into the hands of the ordi nary Governor of Trieste, and thus terminates this disastrous interruption of the trade of the Adriatic. TRIESTE, SEPT. 11.—The Austrian fleet under KADRIAFFSKT sailed from Trieste to Malmocco on the 11th. NORTHERN ITALY. According to the correspondent of the Paris Presse, it would appear that difficulties have unexpectedly arisen between the mediating Powers and Austria with regard to Venice. That journal publishes the following communication : " A difference has just arisen between the Imperial Cabir et on the one part and the Cabinets of France and England on the other, relative to the non-fulfilment of certain clauses of the armistice, concluded at Milan on the 0:h of August last, by the Sardinian and Austrian Plenipotentiaries. " It is known that according to articles two and four of that convention, the city of Venice was included in the number of places which were to be delivered up to the Austrian troops within three days after the ratifies- Lion of the armistice by the King of Sardinia. That ra tification having taken pla ce on the 10th of August, Venice, according to the above stipulations, should have been evacuated by the 13th at the latest. It would occupy too much space to recount the nu merous app li c ations made by Marshal Radet zk y to King Charles Albert relative to the carrying out of these con ditions of the armistice. On the demand of Sir R. Abercrousby, the English Minister at Turin, the King, Charles Albert, at length sent orders to Admiral Albiui and General Marmora to evacuate Venice. " But here an unforeseen difficulty arose. At the same time that the Austrian Government received from Admiral Albini the official assurance that the fleet and the Sardinian troops should leave the place, the same Admiral sent a messenger to Trieste, saying that the fleet would not leave the waters of Venice, without an assurance from the Austrian Government, that no at tack should be made against that city by the Imperial troops. " This formal declaration of the Sardinian Admiral coincided with the protest made by the representatives of France and England at Vienna, in case of hostilities commencing against Venice after the departure of Ad miral Albini. In a note, dated the 7th inst., and ad dressed collectively by Lord Ponsonby and M. de La tour to the Baron de Wessenberg, these diplomatists declared that by the sole fact of having accepted the Anglo-French mediation, Austria was tacitly inter dicted from the right of recommencing hostilities against Venice, the special object of the mediation being to put an end to the war by the use of conciliat ing means. t c h e eC sin a o bi , ne a t nd of if V w ie e n a n r a e w w a e s li- n in o f t or l m on e g d waited for reply of dforonthis ca Tahnpoitiifi a notification periodit was to the following purport:— of fthe wahrmenistCieheaorifesMAilalnberwasna fa:; e accompli the Court of Austria accepted the Anglo-French me diation. Consequently the acceptance of the media tion could not by right have any retroactive effect on the stipulations of the armistice. The Imperial Go vernment doubtless admits the principle of the st6tu, quo as the basis of the negotiations to bo opened with the mediating powers; but it cannot admit any other status quo than that which was regulated by the ar mistice itself, and the consequence of that act should be to replace the belligerent parties in the same position with regard to territory which they occupied at the commencement of the war. That being the ease, Austria feels herself justified in imposing on Venice the stipulations of the armistice, from which King Charles Albert has already reaped considerable advantages, particularly the restoration of his park of artillery, abandoned by him at Feschiera, and the free passage granted to his troops. " From these motives, Austria, in her turn protests against the obstacles which the mediating Powers would throw in the way of the accomplishment of the armistice of Milan, and she reserves to herself with regard to Venice, full liberty of action, the acceptance of the me diation in her opinion in no way destroying previous rights given her by the armistice. " This counter protest of Austria appears the more serious, as the armistice of Milan expires on the 21st, and King Charles Albert and Marshal Radetzky are pre paring to resume hostilities with renewed vigour, unless before the above date a prolongation of the armistice should not be agreed upon. " In this state of things the French Government has invited the English Cabinet to unite with it in pressing forward the negotiations. In consequence of the close of the Parliamentary session in England all the Mini sters have retired to their country seats, but Lord Pal merston has promised to return to town on Monday next to have a conference with M. de Beaumont as to the means of overcoming the difficulties which the mediation has thus met with at its outset." WEST LONDON LITERARY INSTITUTION. A lecture of a very interesting character was deli vered on Friday the 15th instant at the West London Literary Institution, in aid of its funds, by Dr. Thomas George Tilley, a gentleman who has already attained considerable celebrity as a scientific lecturer, more par ticularly on subjects connected with chemistry. " The Chemical Phenomena of Organized Life" was the subject selected by Dr. Tilley on the present occa sion, and the ability with which he handl( d this in teresting topic t licited the warmest expressions of ap probation from the auditory. lie first briefly described the state of the ancient world as :shown by the discove ries of modern geologists, its fluidity, its high tempera , rature, and the atmosphere that surrounded it composed nearly, if not entirely, of ea , Tbonic acid, and its unfitness for the support of animal life. Vegetables of the sim plest forms only were able to exist in that primitive atmosphere, but in life and decay they prepared the soil , and air for the growth of plants of mere complicated and higher organization. These again, in the exercise cf their several functions, decomposed the elements of the surrounding medium, retained the carbon as their owl food, and sent out the oxygen to prepare for the recep tion of the simpler kinds of animals. Man, the latest and noblest link of this great chain of life, was at last created into the world so wonderfully prepared for his reeerion. The lecturer then described some of . the propel ties o f thi s v i ta l a i r, w hi c h b y suc h a w i se prov ision, rejected by vegetables, becomes the support of animal Lte, that supports combustion and animal heat. Man takes carb.)n in the shape of animal and vegetable food into his system—du: ing its circulation in the lungs these particles of carbon are brought into contact with the oxygen of the air, and animal heat is generated. Man is thus enabled to support variety of climates and yet keep the temperature of his body equable. In great cold more carbon is required to keep up the animal heat, and nature has provided for this want by placing in cold latitudes animals containing much oil and fat for the food of the inhabitants. Animals again that hybernate store up in the fat of their buries carbon to suppott warmth end lire during the winter. The lecturer then pointed out the causes of the luminosity of the sea—glow-worm, and fire-fly—change of colour in the fur and featlu rs of animals in winter—and greyness in old ego—cf contagious diseases% Bich arise from breath ing miasmeta in the air following the courses of rivers— and allnded to the economy of nature which out of the same elements of matter, though in different proportions, has made the most nutritious food for man and the most deadly poisons—the arrangements by which the original carbon is converted with nitrogen into food—and the establishment of Mattcnci's theory concerning the iden tity of muscular energy and electricity. We, are happy to hear that Dr. Tilley has kindly ac ceded to the rc quest of several gentlemen connected with this valuat,le institution, and that he will on Friday next deliver a st c.rnd and concluding lecture on the same interesting topic, at the lecture-room of the institution, TESTIMONIAL TO THE RIGHT HON. EDWARD STRUTT. Many of cur readers arc aware that after the unseating of our late Members it was considered a matter of duty as well as of ft cling, to present to Mr. Strutt some tt ken of the re and the great majority of the electors of Derby :ult. ft .r his public and private v. crth, end their ex treme regret that the borough should be deprived of those advantages which she reaped from his Parliamentary career. Some of Mr. Sfrutt's supporters suggested that a handsome piece of plate should be presented to him, but the general feeling was in favour of a more cor dial manifestation, and it was decided to present him with a memorial breathing the sentiments of a largo ma jority of the electors, and reciprocating the feelings dis pia) ed in the excellent and warm-hearted address in which the Right Hen. Gentleman took leave of the constituency. The memorial was prepared and signed by a very con siderable majority of the electors, but it was deemed proper to defer the presentation until after the election, lest the enemy should impute to the Liberal party an in tention of influencing the result of the contest by a public demonstration in behalf of Mr. Strutt. We are happy to state that the time is approaching when that demonstra tion a ill be made, and no one can doubt that it will be in every respect worthy of the occasion. The writ ten address and signatures will be found in a volume, a companied by a duplicate copy, splendidly printed in r ore gold, upon white vellum, with a richly chased gold and coloured border of suitable design rotted each rege. The coats armorial of the Strutt family will be emblazoned in their proper colour, and the Derby arms also introduced in the border. The copy will be bound in the most elegant and costly style, with the armorial bearings finely engraved upon solid silver, and the whole completed with two silver clasps, richly chased, and designed for the occasion. As a work of art we believe it will be superior to anything of the kind ever executed. It is proposed to invite Mr. Strutt on some day at the latter end of this month or the beginning of next, to a grand banquet, at which the presentation will be made. Mr. Strutt's late colleague, Mr. Leveson Gower, will also be invited to the banquet, together with our present re presentatives, Mr. Bass and Mr. Heyworth, and the gentry of the neighbourhood. The people of Derby will show that though they have been deprived of Mr. Strutt's va luable services they have not forgotten them; and that they still hold, and will continue to hold, him in most grateful remembrance. Wo will show, in the words of the memorial, that though our political connexion be in terrupted, cur nearer and more personal regards will remain strong as ever.—Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.

BETE:INGHAM, SEPT. 16.—This day has been devoted to the gale o: rcmait.ing stock of wines in the Duke of Buckingham's cellars. There was nothing in the cha racter of ;4ny- of the parcels calling for remark beyond the one important fact that very good pricies were rea li,cil by cli of them. The company. as on previous days devoted to the sale of wine, was cilained almost exclusively to brokers and agents, with a kmall sprinkling of farmers and others re sident in the vicinity-. . . . . . The sale will recommence on Monday with a selection of furniture, partaking rather more of the useful and less of the ornamental character than any which has been yet offered. The following is an accurate statement of the receipts from the stile up to this day:— First day.— lEjolica, or - lit.ffaelle ware s. d. articles ... ... 316 10 0 &mid day.-111rjolica, or llnffaello ware china, and bronzes _ Third day.—Furniture of Tapestry Draw ing -room, majolica, &c. 1,602 0 Fourth day.—Furniture of Tapestry Drawing-room, china, bijoutcrie, Raf facile ware, &c. ... 1,679 13 0 ... 1,070 17 0 Fifth day.—Furniture of the State Draw ing room ••• ••• ••• ••• Sixth day.—Contents of the Saloon and North Hall, &c. 2,147 3 0 2,919 1 0 Sevcnth cluy.-Music-room, Library and Print room ...

Of the original sale there yet remain ten days to run, after which the supplemental sale, extending over five days, and including the magnificent geological and mineralogical collection contained in the museum has to follow. Any computation of the ultimate amount can at present be only problematical, but it seems more than likely that it will considerably exceed 80,0001. A portrait of Thomas Grenville, after Richmond, No. 225 in the Catalogue of Wednesday's sale, was erro neously described to have been knoCked down to Mr. Gore Langton fur five guineas. The picture was, in reality, privately valued to him at that amount, and withdrawn from the public sale altogether. 2,136 1 0 REMEDY FOR CIIOLERA.—The following valuable prescription for the effective cure of cholera has been received from J. Booker, Esq., Vice-Consul at Cron stad t, Russia:—" The principal point is to attack the dis ease the instant it is suspected; take a stimulating dram, with peppermint, and a few drops of laudanum; cover yourself up as warm as possible, to promote perspiration, apply hot substances, such as water, bran, salt, and even sand to the limbs, and put a mustard poultice over the whole stomach. As soon as perspiration breaks out, and the beating of the pulse is restored, the co:nplaint may be looked upon as conquered; if it is neglected till its last stage, recovery cannot be expected." By strictly attending to the above simple means, Mr. Booker says that no person need fear fatal consequences. LATHE FOR CUTTING BRICKS.—Some time ago, while casually locking on at some bricklayers at work, I was struck w i ith the great waste of material a nd time, in the most skil'ul workman frequently destroying two or three bricks before he could get one to some l particular a size or angle. Thinking over the subject, devised modification of the common lathe, by which an . ordinary bricklayer's labourer could cut a brick to anygiven o s a iz l i or angle in less time than the most ready workman_ could heck it into rough form with his trowel. By the means I have indicated. a common brick may be readily cut to almost any form for ornamental purposes, the surfaces being nearly as accurate as through ground by hand labour; in tact any form, circular, angular, or plane, could be given it, at a moderate cost. — Correspondent o f tie Builder.

A MAN SHOT.—On Saturday night last, about twelve o'clock, Mr. Godfrey Holden, farmer, of Darton, near Barnsley, beard some parties about his premises, and on looking out of the window saw three men, two upon the roof of the house, taking off the slates, the third standing upon the ground. The farmer fired his gun through the window at the thieves, and one of them fell, but was carried off by his comrades. On the fol lowing morning a wounded man was found in a stable belonging to Mr. Tetty, at Darton, about half a mile from Mr. Holden's farm. His name is Samuel Gled hill, and he is now at his house on Worsborough Com mon, without the least chance of recovering, a bullet having entered between his thigh and his body. Mr. Holden had bad a great number of fowls stolen within the last ten days, and other farmers in the neighbour hood suffered similarly. _ _ A CHAPTER OF ICITSPORTIINES.—On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body of Nathan Parr, aged fifty seven, who met with a succession of accidents which terminated in his death. A fortnight ago he hurt his left thumb, it having been jammed between two casks. Shortly afterwards, whilst backing a horse, the animal snapped et him and bit him between the wrist and the elbow. The pain resulting from this accident extended from the arm into the body ; but when he began to re cover from the effects, and was nearly able to return to his work, he fell suddenly upon the footpath outside his own door, and received a severe cut on the right side of his head. He probably might have recovered from this latter accident had not lock-jaw, resulting from the in jury to the thumb, set in, and that speedily finished his earthly career.
