Although several fresh parcels of English Wheat have 'beenTeceived for our market since Monday, the show of samplea of that grain this morning was small ; never theless, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the tall in the duty on Foreign Whe a t to 4s per quarter, was in a very sluggish state, and, where sales were pressed, rather lower figures were submitted to. Upwards of 21,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in this week. As the importers are now releasing their stocks for home consumption, the quantity on offer to-day was large. There was very little inquiry for any quality, and the inferior sorts must be called is per quarter cheaper. For all kinds of Barley the demand was in a very inactive state ; and late rates were not supported. Scarcely any English Barley was on show. 'The sale for Malt was extremely dull, and prices receded is per quarter. The best parcels of Oats were quite as dear. Otherwise the Oat trade was dull..

The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the decrease compared With those exhibited on this day se'nnight; nevertheless, the M4ttop,trade was very dull, at barely the late de pression in value. Lambs, the number of which was by no means. large, were a mere drug, at almost nominal urrenci'es.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Williams took their seats on the bench at ten minutes after ten o'clock. Immediately after the undermentioned persons were placed at the bar, on the following charge, as stated in the calendar—" That they slid feloniously compass, imagine, invent, devise, and intend to levy war against her Ma jesty, within that part of the United Kingdom called England, in order by force and constraint to compel her to change her measures and counsels:"— Joseph Ritchie ' 42, bricklayer; Alfred Able, '23, porter; William Gurney, 42, shoemaker; John Shep herd, 34, tailor; James Snowball. 32, joiner ; James Richardson, 30, joiner ; George Greenslade, 30, shoe maker; Henry Small, 31, joiner; Edward Soadding, 28, brassfounder; William Burn, 44, shoemaker; Phelps Martin, 45, newsman; William. Lacy, 38, bootmaker; Thomas Fay, 20, closer; Thomas Jones, 32, shoemaker; 'Charles Young, 38, shoemaker, and Henry Argue, 23, shoemaker. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the first five pri soners, applied to have their trials postponed until the next session, on the ground that they bad not had suffi cient time to prepare their defence and to obtain the attendance of witnesses whom they considered material. The Learned Counsel read an affidavit of Mr. Robert's, of the Adelphi and Manchester, the solicitor to the pri soners, who stated that he had not had sufficient time to prepare the defence. The affidavit, which was very voluminous, declared that it was necessary to subpoana several witnesses from Manchester, that until a very recent period he was ignorant whether the prisoners were to beindicted separately or jointly. He (Mr. Ballantine) could corroborate the truth of tho statement, since he him self had not had his brief in time to enable him to devote that attention to it which was necessary in a case of this im portance—important alike to the present generation and posterity. He did not make any application to admit the prisoners to bail, and they were perfectly secure, since they were confined in her Majesty's gaol, of New gate. He merely asked the Court to apply the same rule to this case as was invariably conceded in oases of felony; but, considering this:was a Government proaecu tiOn, he hoped the Attorney. General would not oppose the application. Mr. HEDDLESTONE made a similar application on be half of Small, Seadding, and Martin. Mr. PARRY did so on behalf of Young and Argue ; Greenslade and Burn, for whom he- appeared, were pre pared to be put on their trial. The depositions were only delivered the night before last. The Attorney-General, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bod kin Tah p e pe A ar r e i d o f n o N r E t t h . e G C E r N o E w ß n A l opposed The prisoners were taken into custody early in August, and were Committed on the 31st of that month, now nearly a month agd. He could not understand how the attorney could state that be was ignorant of the exact charges against the prisoners. Why, he could have ascertained the exact nature at least on the 31st of Au- gust, and the charges were clearly specified when the prisoners were before the magistrate. He had had ample time to prepare their defence. It was remarkable that he did not name the persons he stated so necessary for the defence of the prisoners. The Learned Counsel was very much mistaken if he imagined that posterity was so deeply interested as he seemed to suppose in the conduct of this case. It would be opposed to all the rules of criminal jurisprudence to try two prisoners, postponing the trials of the others in cluded in the same indictment. Mr. Justice ERLE agreed with the Attorney-General that such a course was most unusual. Mr. BALLANTINE, in reply, repeated that the applica tion was not made on factious but upon substantial grounds. It was not unlikely an attempt would be made to connect the prisoners.with the recent atrocities in the north. Now, would it not be most unjust to debar the prisoners from showing by persons from these districts that they were wholly unconnected with them? . Mr. Justice ERLE, having consulted with. Mr. Justice Williams for some moments, inquired if there were any counsel for the other prisoners ? • Mr. KINNEALY said he appeared for Dowling, who was ready to be put on his trial. Mr. Justice ERLE inquired if he had any objection to urge against the postponement of that prisoner's trial. Mr. KINNEALY replied that'he had not; but he had a strong obj ection to his client remaining-in custody if the trial of the other prisoners did not come on. Mr. PARRY was understood not to oppose the appli cation on the part of Greenslade and Burn. Mr. Justice ERLE said he had consulted his brother Williams, and they were of opinion that the trials of the prisoners should be postponed. It appeared quite sufficient for -the administration of justice, that where grave charges of this descriptiommere :brought forward no ground whatsoever should .exist for contending that they were not fully and thorougly inquired into. It was necessary, in justice to the prisoners, that all facts and all witnesses, especially those considered likely to enhanee the case of the defendants, should be brought forward ;and listened to by the jury that was to decide upon the matter, inasmuch as the . postponement of their trials would not be for a long period, and inasmuch as the parties would be forthcoming to be brought forward to take their trials, and further he was disposed to accede 'to the application as he understood the prisoner& ready to take their trials were willing to give bail to surrender at the proper time. He thought no public inconvenience would h c; b A u T T ORN sufferedEyb.yG tEhNeEtext,pone Int i m a tem nt d o t f h a the t w t r i a a l .s not T h pr iti eh in en te d n e i d lo t n ha to i t c h e e ll t w ri i a tn l e ro ss l e g s h l t ro b m e kn p i r a oc c e h e e d s e t d e r. w t I h I e a thisp session—on Monday, for instance, as before that day c a h n e y st number of witnesses could be procured from M an- Mr. Justice - ERLE agreed with the. Learned Counsel that postponing the trial tillsMenday would give the pri soners ample time to-procure witnesses from the north. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not intend to show any acts at Manchester. He would not say that he - should not call witnesses from that town. Mr. Justice ERLE repeated that Monday would give the prisoners ample time. Mr.-STRAIGHT then proceeded to read the indictment. Mt: KINNEALY said he possessed the right of having the indictment read three times. Mr. Justice EnLE said he had considered the point, and the prisoners were only entitled to have it read once slowly. Mr. KINNEALY inquired if his-Lordship meant to say that he did not possess the right at common law? Mr. Justice ERLE—That which I have stated I have decided. Mr. KINNEALY cited several cases in which .the in dictment had been read twice and thrice. Mr. Justice Dux remarked that that occurred when the indictment was riot in the English language. Mr. BALLANTINE here interposed. lie said he had consulted the Attorney-General, and he declared most solemnly that he oJuld not be in readiness by Monday. He sought the postponement of the ease until the next -Leask/110, ..... 10% 8 1 ,4 - 9 .*.i 254 _~ 14 7 55 lyi THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVE The ArronieEsc• GENERAL said, if the application was granted, it would be fraught with the most Fetal conse quences to the peace of the country. Mr. Justice ERLE repeated that Monday would give ample time. Mr. Straight then read the indictment, and the pri soners all pleaded " Not Guilty." Mr. KINNEALY then applied for a list of the jurors. Mr. Justice ERLE—I refuse the application. I feel bound to conduct this case on the rules applicable to ordinary cases of felony. Can you satisfy me that you possess this right? Mr. KINNEALEY said he should show no mercy to the Crown, but should oppose it in every way in his power by availing himself of the forms of the court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with much warmth)—The Learned Counsel having stated that ho shall factiously oppose the Crown, I shall stand upon my right, and pro ceed with the trial of Dowling now.—(Much surprise.) The other prisoners were then taken below. William Dowling, 24, artist, a respectably-attired young man, was then put forward to take his trial on a similar charge, Mr. KINNEALEY then applied for a list of the names. Mr. Justice ERLE-I am of opinion that you have no right. On Mr. Miller, Preston, taking the book, the Learned Counsel proposed to ask him if be was a special con stable. The COURT considered that he bad no right to ask the question. Mr. KINNEALY said, it seemed it was not considered sufficient to take away the rights of Englishmen by the Act under which the prisoner was indicted, but this right must also be taken away. Mr. Preston, Mr. Miles, and several others, to the number of 14, having been challenged, were not sworn. A jury having been sworn, and the prisoner indicted, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to state the case against the prisoner. This was the first instance of a person being put on his trial under the " Act for the Better Security of the Crown and Government." Before the passing of that Act, the prisoner, instead of being indicted for felony, would have stood before them charged with high treason, the consequences of a con viction of which were most penal. The alteration of the law was no doubt an act of mercy towards those weak, vain•glorious persons anxious to become martyrs on the altar of their country. If it was opposed to the altered and modified spirit of the law to let a fatal result follow the machinations laid to the charge of the prisoner, yet, however penal might be the result of a conviction of the prisoner, he believed they could not, on the solemnity of their oaths, hesitate to discharge their duties. There would be this satisfaction in this single trial, that the other pri soners would learn the exact charge that would be made against them on Monday. The prisoner was a young man who had lived in a higher sphere of life than those with whom they had ordinarily to deal. He was well educated, respectably connected, and, he had been told, an artist of considerable talent; and had ho pursued his profession instead of mixing himself up in a felonious conspiracy, doubtless he would have obtained a high position. Ho did not complain of his taking a part in political matters—of that there could be no ground for complaint— but of conspiring with others to menace the Throne and the Government. At the time the of fence was committed Ireland was in open rebellion, and the Chartists, taking advantage of that, formed themselves into confederate clubs and class leaders, in which they were joined by Irish confederates, with the view of causing a general rising, and crippling, by dispersing, the forces of the country. The prisoner was secretary to a club called "Davis Club," and reports of whose proceedings were found at the prisoner's lodgings. The Learned Counsel then read the minutes, from which it appeared that Mr. Kennealy, the ,barrister, moved a resolution deprecating physical force and pikes, and in favour of resting upon legal and constitutional means—to which the prisoner moved an amendment, that " it be postponed till the day of judgment," which was agreed to. The Learned Counsel detailed the pro ceedings of the club, which it appeared appointed a " Plotting Committee," and the part the prisoner had borne in them, which are detailed in the subjoined evi dence. Joseph Thompson was ono of the police, No. 11 letter F. On the night of the 20th of August, in consequence of information he had received he apprehended the pri soner at the bar in Lambeth-walk. He found a letter upon him, which he produced. He told him that he wanted to apprehend him on a charge of felony. He asked if wit ness had a warrant for it, to which witness replied it was not necessary as it was on a charge of felony. The prisoner said very well, his name was William Dowling. Witness then took a pocket-book from hire containing a letter. The prisoner said, I suppose you will not take that from me, as it is only from a private friend. Ile gave his address No. 5, Nassau-street, Lambeth. Witness searched the prisoner's room tilt re, and found all the papers he now pro duced. Among them were two receipts for the making of gunpowder, and a book. The letter found upon him was marked No. 1, and the book No. 2. There were also a number of cards found of admission to the Davis Club ; also a book endorsed to the National Defence Club; a paper entitled the " De fence Club Account ;" also a letter addressed to Mr. McManus, and several other documents. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALY—Witness appre hended the prisoner in consequence of information re ceived from the police-constable. There were other con stables with him at the time. Never offered 20 guineas or 30s. to any person who would inform him where the prisoner was to be found. Mrs. Jarvis was the wife of the landlord of No. 5, Nassau-street, Middlesex Hospital. The prisoner occupied apartments in her house, the second floor back. She pointed out the room occupied by the prisoner to the officer who took him into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALT—The prisoner was a quiet young man. Mr. Chubb, a solicitor of Gray's-inn, knew the prisoner. Ilad often ,corresponded with him, and be lieved the writing in the book produced to be in his hand-writing principally. The entry on Friday, the 16th of June, he believed to be in his handwriting, with the exception of the last four lines. The books of appointment of collectors of sections for the Davis Club were also in the handwriting of the prisoner. The whole of the entries under the 10th, 12th, 14th, 17th, and 19th of July witness believed to be in the prisoner's handwriting. The entries of the 15th, 17th, and 19th of May were also in the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALY—IIad known the prisoner a year and a half. He was a most respectable young man, and a very talented portrait painter. He had never heard him speak disloyally, and he had al ways conducted himself as a good subject of the Queen. Ile was a person of mild manners and temper. The Court here adjourned for a short time. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir J. KEY.) Henry Curzon, aged 24, described in the calendar as a labourer, was indicted with stealing two silver spoons and a timepiece, value 9/., the property of Win. Bennett, in his dwelling-house. The prisoner was tried yesterday, and acquitted upon a point of law, of stealing 91., the property also of Mr. Bennett. From the statements of the wife of the prosecutor, it appeared that she and her husband resided at No. 3, Queen-street, Horsleydown. That her husband was the owner of the Clementina, a vessel trading between Eng land and Ireland, and that the prisoner was their cousin by marriage, and lodged with them. That upon the 10th of July last she gave the prisoner 9/. to pay the rent that was due, she being about to accompany he r husband upon his voyage. They returned upon the 16th, and when the wife of the prosecutor got home the prisoner was absent. Ile returned in the course of the afternoon, and then said that he was going out, and should be detained late, and wished to have the street door key, this the witness refused, stating that her sister would sit up for him. About eleven o'clock the prisoner came home, and stated that he had seen two men leap from the top of the street door, and that he had found they had been into his room had and beenbroke e not Pn h r en ste d i s with box, for an td taken away wh e rent. being d m i a s c d o e v , e n r o e d a , p a p n e d a r t a h n e c e s p o o f o t n h s e a e n u d t ry ti m o the ef piece werethieves o found be d d be missing. The sister of the wife of :tho prosecutor proved that no one but herself and the prisoner had access to the house of the prosecutor during the absence of himself and his wife. _ The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The RECORDER sentenced him to twelve months' im prisonment and hard labour. NATIONAL FETE AT ROULOGNE- SUR-MEB. WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—.The town of Boulogne has really distinguished itself to-day in a manner which could not have been anticipated even by the most san guine lovers of popular amusements. The prepara tions were all upon a scale of elegance and complete ness, but the entertainments of the first two days, Monday and Tuesday, were certainly not such as to lead one to suppose that the concluding part of the fete would produce a universal feeling of satisfaction in the public mind. The result, however, of this day's proceedings has been that Boulogne has raised itself to a most enviable height in the opinion of the French nation. Paris has always been renowned for its fetes • and popular demonstrations, but no one could have supposed that the smaller towns in France were ca pable of emulating the metropolis with such taste and vigour as the Boulonnais have displayed to-day. The amusements of the two preceding days were confined to regattas, donkey-races, duck-hunting, greasy pole climbing, street music, ball champetres, and various other modes of enjoyment which appeal to the general taste of holiday-makers, but it would seem that these were only intended to prepare the people for some• thing magnificent by way of finale to the entertain meats. The town has presented a scene to-day which even the. Parisians who, during the last six months, have had some experience in exhibitions of this kind, will remember with pleasure and contentment. The fete of to-day has, moreover, proved of considerable importance in a national point of view, for it has af forded to the inhabitants of the various towns between this and Paris an opportunity of fraternizing together after the sad events of June, which had called forth the patriotism of every province in France. During the revolution of June the National Guards of Bou logne rendered themselves conspicuous by the gene rous manner in which they volunteered their services, and the preSent fete has enabled the National Guard: of Paris to testify their appreciation of those services. True, many of the officers who had arrived from the metropolis were compelled to return, because the " authorities" had omitted to provide accommodation for them ; but those who remained have seen and heard sufficient to repay them for all their trouble and expense. It appears that on Monday evening some two or three hundred of the National Guards from Paris took the opportunity offered to them of paying a visit to England. The majority did not go farther than Dover, where they passed several hours in social companionship with the, British troops. England and France were thus brOught together in terms of the strongest amity ; and the Parisians returned to theirs own country full of gratitude and good liquor. The English soldiers, in fact, gave them a most welcome reception, and when the parting took place the repre sentatives of each nation were convinced that no two countries were ever further removed from war than are at this moment France and England. The cries of "Vive l'Angleterre et la France," has resounded in all quarters, and the English ladies at preseet staying in the town have been extremely bountiful in their distribution of bouquets amongst the National Guards and troops of the line. The rappel was sounded at an early hour this morning, and before 10 o'clock the streets were all alive with excitement and expectation. A grand cortege was announced to take place at 'l2 o'clock, and every window in the prindipal thoroughfares was ,occupied by gaily drosSed ladies; all of whom were Prepared with nose gays wherewith to honour the soldiers as they passed. The procession started from the upper town at twelve o'clock, and prioceeded along the Grande Rue towards the point where it had been arranged that the prizes won by the victors in 'the different games which 1 have mentioned in my former letters should be dis tributed. The National Guards a cheval, drum majors, sapeurs, artillerymen, National Guards a pied, soldiers of the line, vivandieres, and several bands of music belonging to the different companies of Guards, took part in the procession, and at certain intervals the monotony of bayonets and military ac coutrements was relieved by the appearance of cars drawn by horses, and ornamented with banners and Republican insignia. These cars were designed to represent the triumph of commerce, of agriculture, and of liberty. The clear de r agriculture excited uni versal admiration, and justly so, for it was arranged in the most tasteful and appropriate manner. The machine was filled with corn-sheaves, hay, and other agricultural products, and placed in such a manner as to produce an effect that was really beautiful. At each coaner of the car was a cornucopia, with flowers streaming from it, and at the top of all were a plough, a scythe, and other instruments of husbandry, decorated with the colours of the Republic. Behind the car walked in procession a cluster of little girls dressed in white, and ornamented with a profusion of flowers. I need hardly say that the enthusiasm of the people at this moment was unbounded. There was scarcely a spectator present who would not willingly have forgone all that he bad previously seen to have been able to encore this part of the procession. The band played " 4 Le Marseillaise," " Mourir pour la Patrie, ' and other patriotic airs, and every man cried, "Vive la Republique," or " Vive la France." These cries were responded to by the spectators at the windows, and the general effect was such as cannot easily be conceived except by persons well conversant with the ability of the French nation for enacting scenes of this description. The Republic seemed to be firmly established in the hearts of all, and the union of France and England was held to be henceforth essential to the happiness and well being of both countries. The procession continued its march to the column of Napoleon, which is pretty generally known to be situated on the Calais road, about a mile from the market-place in the upper town. The appearance of the road and the surrounding fields was a most im posing sight. Thousands of people had assembled at the gates before the column, where preparations had been made for a banquet, to which all the National Guards and soldiers of the line were invited. Tables were arranged in the square plot of ground, in the centre of which stands the monument, and I was in formed that there was accommodation for 6,000 per sons. There were no seats prepared, but those who came to partake of the feast, though much fatigued by their day's work, were so completely bent upon enjoying themselves, that they were well content to drink the "cup of friendship" standing. Every man seemed resolved to be happy, and. there was not a single incident calculated to mar the good feeling that existed amongst all. After the ban quet various toasts were proposed, and sundry speeches were made in honour of the republique hon nete. The most important speech on the occasion was that delivered by the Prefect of Boulogne. This gentleman expressed himself in very,strong language upon the necessity of maintaining peace with all na tions, and more especially with England, whose gra cious Sovereign, he stated, had won the highest enco miums from France for the manner in which she had acted towards the new Republic. Ile concluded by proposing the union of Prance and England, and the health of Queen Victoria. The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and was re sponded to by : an Englishman, who, the better to be heard, as he spoke in his own language, mdunted updn a table and addressed the meeting with ;much good taste on the policy of the two nations con tinuing to live in peace and am ity. Those of the :National Guards.who had been amongst the visitors to 'Dover were greatly delighted at meeting many ,Englishmen at the banquet, and the reporters for the London press were received with unusual favour and `enthusiasm. We were indebted to M. Sansot, Colonel :of the National Guards of Boulogne, for his politeness in giving us admission, and for the complimentary :way in which he was pleased to express himself to wards the English nation.. " L'union fait la force," Ilse said, and he was. firmly impressed with the con viction that if England and France stood by each !other they bad nothing to fear from any o p pos i ng power. The s cene which took place immediately after the men had satisfied their appetites, was such as could be witnessed in France alone. By this time the grounds were opened for the admission of the public, and the majority of the company joined in 'a dance, the Many h un d reds of band of the National Guard s sup plying the necessary music. 'people, amongst whom were ladies dressed after the ,most apprOved fashion, were dancing ensemble , and the peculiarity of the scene was greatly increased by the fact that it was _quite unpremeditated. The sound of' the music amongst such mercurial subjects was sufficient to set them all on the tiptoe of excite- meat, and they could no more have refrained from fiancing than a man touched by an electric spark could avoid a convulsive movement. The exhibition lasted ' for upwards of an hour, and the cortege then proceeded, on its return to Boulogne. The gaiety of the town has been kept up throughout the evening, and th e houses, as well a s a ll th e triumphal arches, have been most brilliantly illu minated, according to present in vogue in this country—that is to say, with paper lanterns of different colours so blended together as to produce a very harmonious effect. In.order to add still more to the glories of the flay, a splendid balloon was prepared on the Capicure side of the harbour, which attracted a great concourse from its stupendous siz e and gay app earance. A b out a quarter past four o'clock in the afternoon Monsieur Godard prepared for the ascent. It was reported that his lady would accomp an y him, but, as di scret i on i s the better part of valour , the wife, eery prudently, thought it was better to remain on shore than tempt the perilous journey of air and ocean ; whereupon Monsieur Godard . ;w ent aloft alone in his boat like car, and truly the ascent was splendid in the extreme—with a clear blue sky, and golden sun throwing its radiance all around. Every thing conspired to render the ascent at once imposing and magnificent, as the balloon slowly and majestically rose , towering over th e b as i n o f the harbour, amid the applauding shows of thou sands gazing with wonderment and delight at the novel scene! Presently the, balloon ascended above the town and heights, catching the bewildering gave COURT CIRCULAR . - BALMORAL, MONDAY.—Her Majesty and the Prince went this morning to Invercauld Forest.

I i NG, SEPTEMBER 22, mgt. of the country , people, and summoning up the cheers and admiration of the many thousand soldiers, National Guards, and civilians congregated around the column of Napoleon ! As the balloon continued to rise, its tendency was seaward, for the wind, hardly felt in the harbour, being off the land, was more sensibly felt as it sailed onwards, and in about eight minutes it was more than two miles at sea. This awakened some concern on shore, for no boat was sufficiently near to render assistance in the event of its immediate de scent. There were several sailing boats at sea, and two steamers at anchor outside the harbour, but having no steam up ! Presently the balloon was seen to be slowly descending, with flags waving from the basket, and in about five minutes it floated quietly on the bosom of a smooth sea. The excitement on land was now intense—boats hurried out of the harbour, but the balloon was three miles off ! One sailing boat was seen to be making- great exertions to leeward, while two others, more distant, struggled on to the rescue. 'What are the steam boats about? was the indignant exclamation, when in a little time the black smoke of the Ondine was seen with joy. But in the meantime M. Godard and the balloon might be h st. Impatience, and anxiety were now at their height. The steamer was off, but before she got out half way the lee ward beat got up to the balloon, which still kept afloat with apparently all its gas in full volume. l The other two boats-rapidly closed, and the voyager ' and balloon were saved some minutes before the steamer arrived, much to the sathfaction of the be- holders. In the evening Captain Tune, of the City cf. Boulogne steamer, added to the gaiety of the har bour—where the vessels were decked out in all the colours of the rainbow—by a splendid display of fireworks, which lasted upwards of an hour. The;` effect was dazzling in the extreme ; and much praise was bestowed on the gallant Captain for his spirited liberality in assisting so materially to wind up the grandeur of a fete which will be long and gratefully remembered in Boulogne. The last scene of all, which ends this eventful day, was a public ball in the Tintelleries, the admission to which was fixed at so low a price (10 sou)) that people of every grade and denomination were enabled to attend. The grouud has been very tastefully arranged for the occasion, and the greatest pains have been taken to secure a happy termination to the fete. The dancers are still (twelve o'clock, P.M.) actively engaged, and are likely to be so until daylight shall warn them that it is time to re tire. The majority of the National Guards from Paris will return home to-night, and to-morrow the town of Boulogne will be restored to its usual quietude. Everybody is well satisfied with the suc cess of the national fete, and many persons are much richer than they were a few days ago, for thousands of money-spending people have been attracted from all quarters.

Last night Mr. Wilson, in - saying farewell to his friends, was,honeured by a . lnilliant and fashionable audience, among whom were many very distin guished personages; the large hall, indeed, was com pletely crowded, and one could not help wondering, in this dull season, when everybody is out of town, where so many people' came from. The remark was very generally Made, in gazing on the immense _crowd, that no other man than Wilson could have found so many persons to rally round him at this time. The entertainment went off most enthusiasti cally, and afforded much gratification to the audi ence, as it must have done,to.the vocalist himself, to think that himself alone drew such a crowd of people together, who applauded to the echo his every effort. Wilson was in fine Voice, and gave all his songs with even more than his accustomed excellence. His organ, more remarkable perhaps for sweetness and purity of tone, than loudness, resounded with brilliant effect through the vast area of the hall, and he coulcl-,not, have made A more successful appearance. The.' Pro,l grarne contained many of his finest songs, among which were "Caller Herring" (encored) ; " Young Lochinvar," which, he renders very .effectively, and, which was vociferously demanded a second time, but which he wisely excused himself from repeating, and; introduced one more easy to himself ; -" Love wakes and weeps," a most charming 'song, and beautifully given. The first part finished with the humorous song of "John Grumlie," and the second part com menced-with " Lord Ullin's Daughter," which WaS splendidly' sung, and the effect was aided not a little by the excellent manner in which Mr. Jolley played the accompaniment. In this part were several of his humorous songs, such as " flame cam our Gudeman at E'en," " Tak yer auld cloak aboot ye," " Get up and bar the door,', &c., which were all given by him as graphically as ever. After singing all the songs in the programme, as well as some which were not i n it, Mr: Wilson took leave of his friends in the follow ing words : la dies and gentlemen,—Before you depart, I hope you will allow me to express to you the grati tude feel for the kind • and encouraging part which you have taken in the proceedings of this evening. lam about to leave for a time the land I love—l do not mean only the land of brown heath and shaggy wood—my own loved Scotland—but England too, good old England, where I have met so much success since I began to make her sons and daughters ac quainted with the homely strains of the north countrie.' I liave for several years received very pressing invitations to visit America, where I have many excellent friends, and I have at length made up my mind to cross the broad Atlantic. I have every reason to hope that, Li my progress through thp United States, I shall meet many of my own countrymen, who may not be unwilling to listen to the songs of their fatherland in the country of their. adoption ; for there is an indescribable charm in national songs when heard at a distance from one's own land ; as a young officer wrote in India many years ago; • The tangs of auld Scotland are sweet 'midst the scene, 'But oh, could you hear them when seas roll between, 'Tis then, and then only, the heart can divine The charms that are hid in the sangs b' langsyne.' I . beg again to - thank you for your patronage of this evening, and for that which I have enjoyed for so many years. The encouragement I have received shall be my guiding star in my new path, and will also form one of the most pleasing reminiscences of my life. To leave my country would be sad indeed were it not lightened by the cheering hope of returning, and singing once more among you my native songs. Think sometimes, amidst mightier musical matters, of the humble songs of auld Scotland, and dinna forget him whom you have so often listened to singing them. I must now speak the hitter word, which Ido with a grateful and fervent heart-Farewell, farewell !" There was now a general shout for " Scots wha has wi' Wallace bled," which Wilson gave magni ficently, and retired amidst the cheers of an audience as thoroughly delighted as ever audience was, and wbo breathed Bon voyage to,Scotia's Minstrel. We undeistand Mr. Wilson goes to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Carlisle, Leeds, and some other towns in the north, and_sails by the Niagara steamer on Saturday, the 7th of October. (From the Herald.) Mr. Wilson, relying on his honourably-earned re putation; and undismayed by the unfashionable period of the year, last night gave his farewell entertainment at Exeter Hall, and his appearance was hailed enthu siastically. The undertaking was a bold one, but it was attended with great success, for the hall was crowded in every part, in front of the orchestra as well as the north and south galleries, and many parties were seated on the orchestral benches behind the singer. We never beheld a more elegant audience in the hall. Mr. Wilson was in good voice, and exe cuted the various songs contained in the programme with great spirit. Ia the first part of the entertainment the song of " WWII buy Caller Herring" was rapturously en cored. 'Who can fail 'to ,appreciate the beauty of Nathaniel Gow's composition ? "Young Lochinvar" and " Love wakes and weeps" were judiciously intro duced, and were sweetly given. The 'humorous ballad of the mishaps of " John' Grumlie" closed the first part of the entertainment, and excited great mirth. The second act commenced with the ballad of " Lord. Ullin's Daughter," into which Mr. Wilson throws much dramatic effect ; indeed the air, as he sings it, is very different from' the'common-place ditty which we have heard elsewhere. By special request, "Ye Banks and Braes" was sung ; and this was followed by the exceedingly droll ballads of " Ilame cam odr Gudeman," and the " Laird o' Cockpen," 'which would both have' been encored but for an appeal made by Mr. Wilson. ' Get up - and bar the door" and " Wha wad na' fecht for Charlie" closed the entertainment. The cheering baying subsided, Mr. Wilson delivered the farewell address, which was followed by hearty cheers. The audience comprised about 2,000 persons. BEDFORD RACES.-THURSDAY.

The Eleven were thus defeated by fourteen wickets. Yesterday the Eleven would commence their match at Leamington, where vast preparations have been made for their reception. ELEVEN OF TIIE SURREY GROUND r. GRAVESEND. This match was commenc. d yesterday at Graveset.d. The ground was not in the beat order, which to a cet Lain extent will account for the unusually small scores. The balls jumped about so much, that batsmen as well as the field were c.)nstantly at a loss as to the way in which they should meet the ball. When our account left the scene of action the Gravesend had been got down for 59 runs. The match will be continued this'morning.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, TrumpAr.--The West 'lndia mail, due by the Severn steam-ship, Captain Vin cent, it is now ascertained cannot arrive here in ordinary course, for some days to come. It appears that the Teviot, with the outward mails, when about 300 miles beyond Bermuda, cracked the eye of her starboard wing lever, and her commander, knowing it to be useless to proceed on the voyage in such crippled state, immediately put back to Bermuda, got coated up, and was ready to proceed to England with the Severn's mails, on her arrival at that port from Mexico. The Severn would then'take on the Teviot's outwardmails, and complete the intended voyage of that ship. It is hardly possible to state with accuracy when the Teviot may be expected, but it is beyOnd a donbt that she cannot reach England for some days to came. It may perhaps be necessary to state, for the information of those having friends on board, that not the slightest danger is to be anticipated in con sequence of the accident. The only difference is, that the voyage must necessarily be somewhat longer from Bermuda. The Reindeer and -Eagle, two of -the Company's intercolonial steam-ships, re hourly expected. They were to leave St. Thomas's on the .17th" ulto The object of their coming home is to undergo repair and alterations. 'UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.. ,CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 21.

Aettiall batch of them have very recently been'compelleel to accept the gratuity of 501 allowed them by the Treasury, and leave the service. These were all juniors, who had - not been in the Post office service ten years; some of these have been offered, and have accepted, the situation's of post men. It is now intended to induce, some ''of: the senior guard's to retire from the service upon a supeilkiniation allowance of 7s. 6d. a week. The guards, howevk r, are about 'to peti tion the Postinaster•Genci'al for a - higher scale - 01 allow ance.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.-011 Wednesday night, between 10 and.ll o'clock, a fire, which threatened the most `serious eonsequences, broke Out on the pree . mires of Mr. Richards, an extensive paper manufacturer, in Tower-lene. Information having been given by the police to the central station, Captain Fisher, the super: intendent, Inspectors Webb, Bile, and Bosworth, 12 ser geants, and a large body of the constabulary, were quickly bn the Spot; but the fire had by that time obtained such power that it was not extinguished till a large amount of property was destroyed. It - wasonly by the most carer mitting.exertions of the firemen and police, assisted by a larke' body of the ithabitantS, that the extensive soap manufactory of Messrs. Coe and Shaw, immediately con tiguous, was - saved. It is not yet ascertained. whether the premises and stock were insured. The cerise of the fire has not been discovered.

SUICIDE IN Pieeesium.x. —An inquest was held yesterday at the Charing -dross Hospital, by Mr. Bedford, on the body of Z'ormatt Howard, aged twenty-three, who .committed suicide by blowing his brains out. It appegred by the evidence of several witnesses that deceased, whose friends reside at Kent, had held a situation at Mr. Cooper's, the large tailor, of Suffolk street, Pall-mall, where he was so much respected as to be entrusted with the entire management of the business. Latterly, however, a suspicion arose as to his honesty, chit fly attributable to his speculations in racing lotteries, and some bad connexions he had re cently formed. lie lost a large sum of money on the late St. Leger, a moiety of which he had already paid. This and other simular speculations had rendered him unable' to make up his accounts satisfactorily with his employers, which, coupled with the cirewnstanees. of. an, engagement to a young lady residing in Cirencester place, New-road, he became exceedingly despondent, and hence his inducement to commit so rash au.act. It further appeared that deceased left business at half past nine on Wednesday morning, and having got into a cab which was turning out of the Regent-circus, Piccadilly' he fired off the pistol into his mouth. Death was o f course instantaneous. After a lengthened incubi, the jury returned the subjoined verdict :—" That decesseel died from the effects of a pistol shot, but whether he in tended to commit suicide at the time there was no evi dence to show," THE SHERIFF'S LIVERIES.—The state liveries of Mr. Alderman Finnis afford a brilliant specimen of civio splendour. The coats are of green cloth, richly em broidered in gold, the waistcoats and breeches are of ker seymere, fully ornamented with broad :gold lace; but the chief point of attraction is the thistle, introduced in its natural colours. Messrs. Doudney, of Old Bond-' street, have had the honour to furnish these appointments. Mr. Goodhart's liveries are equally splendid, but of a different, colour; they are supplied by Mai Green, of Clifford-street, and in both cases the taste and finish displayed in these gorgeous dresses rtflect the highest credit upon the firms by which they have been manu, factured.

As three young men were re turning from a funeral yesterday ;evening, they hap pened to go into a house of entertainment for some coffee, or tea. There they unfortunately met with a man pf the name of Wright, who has been teaching at a school at Roskelton during the last six months. Some jokes were passed on Wright, by a rival lover, concern ing a sweetheart, when he drew a _large knife and plunged it, into the intestines of his rival, a man of the name of Mullowney, which caused instant death. Mul lowney had borne an excellent character, and was only 21 years of age.
