MARKET NE WS-( THIS DAY) COHN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. Ner !withstanding that the arrivals of English Wheat up to our Market, this week, coastwise and by land car riff./ ze, have been o❑ a limited scale, and that the show of same les here to-day was small, the demand for all kin( ls r• sled inactive. In prices, however. no change took place. For forward delivery, very little was doing, yet the growers were firm in their demands. Th 3 show of foreign Wheat was tolerably good. Really fine parcels were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monday. Low and damp qualities met a dull inquiry. A fair• average business was doing in floating cargoes, chiefly• for Ireland. We were very scantily supplied with Barley, all kinds of w'nich moved off readily, at the extreme rates of Monniay. Malt steady, and held at very full prices. '=ho show of Oats was limited: hence, fine parcels were the tuen higher. Beans, Peas, and Flour were firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Malt. Oats. flou: Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Several columns of the Monileur are filled with addresses to the Prince President, thanking him for the important services that he has rendered to the country, and expressing a desire for the re-establish ment of the Empire. An address is in course of signature at Mantes praying the Pope that he will yield to the wishes of the French people and come to France to crown Louis Napoleon Emperor of the French, and thus sanction by religion a power which has arisen from the unani• mous acclamation of France. The Constitutionnel fills a large portion of its front page with remarks on the order given by the British Government for measures of precaution in its ports against the landing of passengers, or cargo, of vessels arriving from ports infected by cholera. I❑ the course of its remarks, the Constitutionnel takes oc • crsion to express its approbation of the conduct of the French Government in promoting the Sanitary Congress, although it had of all coun tries the least int-rest in the question. Four columns of the Siecle are filled with an article on the production and commerce in wines. The greater part of the article consists of statistical details, which have an interest only for a particular class of readers, but there are some points which are rather striking. Alluding to the exports of French wines to England the Siecle observes that since the equali sation of the duties in that country, and consequently the large reduction that ensued in these on French wines, the sale of the latter in England has diminished instead of increasing. This is attributed, by the Sih.le, partly to the adulterations of French wines, by which their reputation has been injured, and partly to the fact that the equali'ation of the duties has fa. voured the introduction of the wines .of other countries. The Siecle thinks that if the two countries could come to some arrangement for the modification of the tariff by mutual concessions, so as to effect a considerable reduction in the price of French wines in England, the exports from this country would increase enormously, for there would not be the same inducement for adulteration, and wines, which are scarcely exported at all now, i❑ consequence of the very high rate of duties, would have a large consumption in England, as they are of a nature to suit the English taste. In another part of the article the Sii:cle alludes to the injurious effect of the commercial differences between France and Bel gium on the trade in wines. It shows the gradual but rapid increase of the exports to Belgium of late years, and expresses a hope that matters will be soon arranged, so as to restore to France this important market. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the railway company from Mulhausen to Thann has been held in Lemardelay's great room, rue Richelieu The company has constituted itself from its state en command& to that of societ,"; anonyme. The ac counts presented in the name of M. Nicolas Kcechlin, deceased, were unanimously approved of, and the di rectors were authorised to act as might appear to be best to obtai❑ the extension of the line across the department of the Vosges to Nancy and Toul. This matter is more particularly confided to M. Mathieu Dollfus, M. Javal, and M. Benoit-Laroche. The Count Pea de Villamarina, the new Sardinian Minister to the French Republic, has arrived i❑ Paris. The Marquis d'Azeglio, Sardinian Minister in Lon- don, has also arrived in Paris, on his way to London; from Turin, where he has been en conge. The Prince President, before leaving Tours, gave 20,000 fr. to the General Hospital at Tours. In addition to which he gave different sums to the old soldiers of the empire; 500 fr. to the Sisters of Charity, for the establishment of a Creche ; 300 fr. to the Dames de la Halle; 200 fr. to the young work. women who presented him with a bouquet; and 200 fr. to the workmen who presented him with a magnificent silk bell-rope. On passing through Amboise, he gave .500 fr. to the old soldiers of the republic and of the empire. The Bourse was firm at the prices of yesterday. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 106 f. 45c., and closed at 106 f. 65c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents, closed at 81f. 40c. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,5221. 50c. ; Rouen, 915 f. ; Havre, 425 f.; Great Northern, 7821. 503. ; Avignon, 570 f.; Basle, 3401.; Paris and Strasburg, 780 f.; Paris and Lyons, 9721. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 7501. ; Western of France, 7101.; St. Dizier to Gray, 550 f.; Bordeaux and Cette, 6301.

At the Cabi❑et Council held on the previous evening, the question of suppressing the Government monopoly of tobacco and salt was started. The Minister of Finance warmly advocated the measure, but no deci sion was come to. Geaeral ALzarredo, who had been sent to Bor deaux by the Spanish Government to compliment the Prince President, has returned to Vittoria, and re• sumed the command of the Basque provinces. The Clamor Publico states, from Lisbon, that a dictatorial decree had been published, ordering the tobacco manufactory to deposit in the Treasury the sum which the Bank bad refused to advance, contrary to the provisions of the decree of August 30. The reports of a coalition between the Ministry and the Septembrista party had acquired some consistence, although the organ of the latter declared itself against such a measure. The Three per Cents. were done at 48 ; the New Three per Cents. at 26 11-16; the Debt of the First Class at 12 5.16 ; and that of the Second at 6i. ITALY. A letter from Florence of the 14th, in the Daats, says :—" Three objects occupy at this moment the political circles of Tuscany —the new loan, the coin mercial league with Austria, and the change of Ministry. The new loan is to be 70,000,000 fr. or 80,000,000 fr., and is to serve to pay off the loan of 0 5,000,000 tr. made in 1850, of 10,000,000 fr. made in 1851, and the residue of the loa❑ of 4,000,000 fr. of the ex-Duchy of Lucca; also to pay the old and new debt of 15,000,000 fr. to Austria, and the floating debt of 13,000,0001 r., and, finally, to employ the re mainder in constructing a new port at Leghorn, and draining the marshes of Bicatine between Lucca and Florence. M. Bastoji, banker at Leghorn, is charged to negotiate the loan, which may produce fortunate results far the country, especially if the government determines at the same time on introducing some reforms in the administration. The commercial league with Austria may be considered as concluded ; but as it is to be feared that it will not make a very good impression on the country, a favourable oppor tunity of carrying it into effect is waited for. The construction of the new port of Leghorn is a consequence of the Austro-Italian league, for it is to be at the same time the military and mercantile port of Austria in the Mediterranean. It is stated, in fact, that amongst the conditions is one that an Aus trian garrison shall always remain at Leghorn ; and another, that the Austrians shall be charged to pro tect the coasts from the Sardinian frontier to the Ro man frontier, to prevent smuggling. All opinions agree in considering as inevitable the change of Ministry. The Grand Duke does not appear satisfied with his present ministers, who have often opposed his ideas, especially in the question of the Concordat with Rome. It was not known by whom they are to be replaced." the T v he at D ica u n k , e oonf AtlhoedenlaltphaidinacvomisitatnovthweithPcopoeunatt a ll t o Gn ly eonm S ee e r e ao . i Esterhazy, Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary to the and his aide• n T t h h i e er l r 2 y dt , h (:)f the French Artillery, arrived Nalplleee.Giornale di General Allouveau de Mon treale•camp left on the same day for the Pope has direcliterZeoefxtchaevalt3iothnsanonf o t u he nc F es or t u h m at at Rome to be contTinyurnectilepartieularly in the vicinity ascertain whether and on the Moos Basilica, nwhether the remains of the ruins of the or built by Julius reatel7vtiat Capitolinus, i❑ order to It u is expected, existing there be those of the Cmiar, under the title of A li ; these excavations will throw obscure passages of the Class ics. upon severa, Berli no 18 GERMANY.

The Diet of Mecklenburg Schwerin has been convoked by the Grand Duks for the 18th of Nov. The surveys for the railway from Strasburg to the Bavarian frontier are actively going on, and those for the section from Haguenau to the frontier will very shortly be submitted to the Government. The length of the line will he about 40 miles. The Official Gazette of Hanover contains the fol• lowing remarks on the speech of the Prince-President at Bordeaux : " It is of groat significance that the President pro claims the E m pi re i n t h e c i ty o f B or d eaux .

If ever a place was well chosen, it was Bor , 'eAux—it was there that Louis Napoleon ought to speak against war and revolution. The protest of Na poleon egainit war, at a moment when he is chosen by popular enthusiasm, is of immense importance, for it is the anti-warlike protest of France herself. Napoleon could only be at that moment the interpreter of the people —he could only speak the sentiments of the country. In addition, it is seen that the President appreciates fully the profound need of peace felt in our days. The Princejudges the revolution severely in defining it as an ideology. There is not a word in the French language more harsh than that of dreamer. The Prince has also admitted the want of religion so observable in our epoch, which he describes so admirably. Napoleon knows his problem well. We shall see if he will solve it in like manner. It is possible that Napoleon has become a necessity for Franc?, sine. he leans for support on the party of order end peace. The ancient dynasty has ceased to live ; —it is all over with it." THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ROCHES- R AND THE REV. R. U'HISTON. REINSTATEMENT OF THE APPELLANT. THE JUDGMENT. Tho judgment in the case of the Reverend Robert Whiaton and the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, is as follows: " The Visitor having heard the appeal of the Reverend It. Whiston against the order of the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, for his removal from the head mastership of their school, made on the 19th day of October, 1849, declares that the pamphlet entitled Cathedral Trusts and their Fulfilment,' admitted to have been published by him, and which formed the ground of that removal, contains charges unjustly reflecting upon the conduct of the Dean and Chapter, and is libellous, and that the appellant might lawfully and justly be punished for it under the cathedral statutes. But taking into consideration that the appellant may have been in some degree misled by legal opinions of high authority, though given on erroneous data, upon the main charge against the Dean and Chapter, of heving illegally taken to themselves a disproportionate share of the revenue of the cathedral property, and considering also that some of the statutes of the cathedral have not been carried into strict execution, though such disuse may have been sanctioned by practice prevailing during a lung series of years, and, in ono respect, by the opinion of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, the Visitor further declares that the appel lant shall, on the Ist of January now next ensuing, be re instated in his said office of head schoolmaster, m ith all the emoluments app, rtaining thereto; but that he shall have no right or claim against the Dean and Chapter, or any one else, for any profits or emoluments accruing from the said 19th day of October, 1849, the day of his removal from,his said office up to the let day of January next; the Visitor being of opinion that the appellant justly deserved to be suspended during the time aforesaid, and he directs him to be restored on the Ist day of January next, on this condition and not otherwise; and the Visitor having observed that the charges unjustly made against the Dean and Chapter in the before-men tioned pamphlet have been repeated in several editions published since the first commencement of these pro ceedings, thinks it right earnestly to caution the appellant against the repetition of these charges in any subsequent publication, as the appellant will not have the same ex cuse of his having been misled as to the legal right of the Dean and Chapter, which has been the main reason why the Visitor has been induced to mitigate the sentence of removal.—Dated this 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1852. " G. ROCHESTER, Visitor, The Austrian Lloyd of Vienna says : " The telegraphic dispatch was right in calling the speech of the Prince an event. It is, in fact, one which has produced the greatest sensation. This speech is re markable in every way both in form and substance.

Horne Tooke had already, oaurus"—the classified and docketted store of all the long ago, pointed with his steady nervous finger the riches of the English language. nature of this grand desideratum. Listen, in testi mony of this, to the declaration contained in that one terse but pithylsentence of the Erea ilrepoEvra—" It is impossible we should thorougbly understand the nature of the signs, unless we first properly consider and arrange the things signified." "It is impossible" —that was the avowal of a great and profound philo logist—avroc curer—" it is impossible." " Rather, however, should he say now, " It was impossible." for the dream of Tooke has become the reality of Roget. The " things signified" have been here, both "considered and arranged"—considered with all pos sible caution, and arranged with all imaginable adroit ness—by the keen eye and rapid hand of the author of "Thesaurus." Everybody knows well enough that the problem submitted to himself for solution by the lexicographer, is simply :—The word being given, to find the idea it is intended to convey, or, in other words, to discover its signification. In the really won derful compilation before us, the problem to be solved is different. It is this :—The idea being given to find the word, or words, by which the idea may be most fitly and aptly expressed. Surely the advantage of a pro duction accomplishing this must be, at a glance, suf• ficiently apparent. Whether he be a writer or not— there cannot possibly be a man amongst the more in telligent classes of the population who has not occa sionally experienced the embarrassing sense of a very painful inaccuracy, or let us say, at least of a scarcely less painful inadequacy of diction for the revelation of thoughts or emotions burning in his head or heart for the relief of utterance. As affording aid at these moments, the "Thesaurus" must infallibly prove a resource altogether inestimable. It has permanently stamped its author's name upon the annals of English literature as one of our ripest scholars, and one of our most accomplished philologists. Was it Fox who said it of Pitt, or Pitt of Fox? Whoever the author or the object of the eulogium, however, it is on record somewhere among the anec dotes of our national rhetoricians, that it was re marked of a brother orator by one of the most elo quent luminaries of the British Parliament, "I never want a word, but he never wants the word !" A panegyric not capable of very frequent application, otherwise we should not so frequently encounter, even in the writings of our most eminent men of letters, passages of bewildering involution or of stilted phraseology, —a style happily termed by Dr. Roget, one " at once laboured and obscure, vapid or redun dant, or vitiated by the still graver fault of affectation or ambiguity." Our conceptions are, moreover, some times so fleeting in form, an d so su b t l e in peculiarity, that a rapid command of diction is essential not only for their communication to others, but even for their exact appreciation by ourselves. Thought becomes at these moments too variable, and, so to speak, vola tile in its evanescence, to be followed up without extraordinary difficulty through all the sequence of concatenation—and this, more especially, in the more abstract reveries superinduced by either ethical or metaphysical investigation. Under this be wilderment we may be fain to cry out in the despairing tones of Horace, Quo teneam vultus mutantem Protea nodo? Dr. Roget replies to that appeal by his " Thesaurus." He removes the diffi culties which have until now stood, for some insur mountably, in the way of graceful and perspicuous composition. If there be no royal road to learning, he has at any rate macadamized the old republican pathway which the majority have traversed only with unalleviated pain, and unmitigated difficulty. The manner in which he has accomplished this, is to us one of the most surprising miracles yet performed in the miraculous development of our language. He has contrived —necessarily—a perfectly novel system of classification. This system, we may observe, can be at once comprehended with facility by an exami nation of his very lucid and ingenious "Tabular Sy nopsis of Categories." First of all, he separates the ideas that require to be catalogued into classes, he subdivides these classes into sections, and, lastly, he numbers the minor fragments into which those sec tions have, in the end, been paragraphed. In order, if possible, to explain this skilful system of classifica tion, we weuld observe, for instance, that Dr. Roget has contented himself with distributing the whole mass of his materials into Six Classes, separating these classes variously into what constitutes, in the aggregate, Twenty-four Sections, and partitioning th e whole yet more minut e ly i n t o what reaches altogether the sum total of exactly One Thousand Paragraphs. The six classes are—l. Abstract Relations. 11. Space. 111. Matter. IV. Intellect. V. Volition. VI. Af fections. Under the First Class, that of Abstract Relations, we have as Sections-1. Existence (Nos. 1 to 8); 2. Relation (Nos. 9 to 24) ; 3. Quantity (Nos. 25 to .57) ; 4. Order (Nos. 58 to 83); 5. Number (Noe. 84 to 105); 6. Time (Nos. 106 to 139) ; 7. Change (Nos. 140 to 152) ; 8. Causation (Nos. 153 to 179). The example here given of a distinct class with the manner of its division into sections, and of its subdivision into paragraphs, will sufficiently dia -1 play the ingenuity of the method adopted by our phi lologist in his arrangement. " Space," in like manner, has for its sections four; namely,—Generally, Dimen sions, Form, and Motion. "Matter" has wto three — Generally, Inorganic, and Organic. "Intellect" —Formation of Ideas and Communication of Ideas. " Volition," two, —lndividual, and Intersocial. And " Affections," the last of the classes, six—Generally, Personal, Sympathetic, Moral, and Religious. How all this is accomplished in the details, details necessarily elaborate, and, to the superficial observer, seemingly almost infinitesimal, may be very readily recognized, as before indicated, by even a superficial glance down the Tabular Synopsis of Categories. It must not be conjectured, however, from what has been already remarked in the present criticism, that the labours of Dr. Roget have been restricted to a mere catalogue of words. Enormous as that task alone would have been, he has not contented himself with accomplishing it in the goodly volume under consi deration, but to the individual words themselves he has added a copious variety of phrases and forms of expression, some of them composed of several words, as, for instance, " to have a finger in the pie," or " to turn over a new leaf"—phrases which, according to the all-embracing judgment of the compiler, " are of such frequent use as to entitle them to rank among the constituent parts of the language." All-embracing we have termed his judgment, and assuredly n ot with out reason, seeing that th e " Th es aurus" contains much that wou ld h ave g l a dd ene d the heart of Cat nach, while it wou ld i n f a llibly have tasted not moreChester pleasantly than asauntida in the nostrils of Chester field. We can't help thinking that g_ood , industrious Dr. Roget, must infallibly be a bit of a w as he is cer tainly a great deal of a philosopher.f through the partiality for a little sprinkling drier details of the " Thesaurus,„ of un could never But for hi s weby possibility have discovered (No. 360 ) under the head o the f " Death," such phrases as "to hop twig," and ‘‘ to kick the bucket." Although by admitting these forms of expression—undoubtedly current enough in society—the compiler has rendered himself liable to the accusation of being over-lenient to mere slang and vulgarisms, he has, nevertheless thereby only yielded a new and vivid evidence of his anxiety to give his work the most desirable of all merits for such an un dertaking—the broad and paramount merit of com pleteness. Occasionally, it is true, blemishes may reasonably enough, in so complex and l nove an enter prise,detected, either through be an error of omission or through one of classification. Everything duly considered, the whole o f the enormous difficult y h task being borne in recollection, itmust, h of t b e owever, e acknowledged upon all hands,and that Dr. Roget has at tained a degree of accurac ycom d ple t te f ness that no one would h ave ventured to re issue of the " Th esaurus.

PROVINCIAL EXPLOITS OF A LONDON SHARPER. A young fellow, described as being about 23 to 24 years of age, of low stature, dressed in a suit of black, over which he wears a grey coloured over-coat, ha s lately emerg e d f rom t h e metropolis, where it is supposed he has been " schooled," and has been trying his luck in the provinces, a few of whose adventures we will briefly describe. Towards the middle of last month he made his appearance at Maidstone, in Kent, where, after intro ducing himself to several persons, and boasting of his respectable acquaintances in Canterbury, Tunbridge, &c., he hired a pony of Mr. E. Goodwin to go to Lenham on business, and to return the same night, but instead of going to Lenha m , h e procee d e d to Gillingham, quite another direction, where he disposed of the pony, saddle, and bridle, and decamped with the proceeds. No more was heard of him until the sth of the present month, when he made his appearance in a new character to act his part in a rather novel scene. On that day he introduced himself at the Easton station to a London broker, who was on his way to a large sale o f a gent l eman ' s effects at Milton Hall, in Bedfordshire, as the agent of no less a I,ersonuge than Sir John Jervis, commissioned by Sir John to attend the came sale to mak e some extens i ve pureba.es. Arrived in Bedfordshire be was introduced by the broker to Mr. 1.),3;v, the auctioneer, who recommended them both to most comfortable quarters at the Falcon lon, Bletsoe. Next day atter his arrival he attended at another sale at Reynold, a few miles where he made purchases amounting in value to 207/ , representing himself there to be en agent of Lord Campbell, to whom the lots were knocked down. After some ineffectual attempts to trans fer some valuable bargains and draw the money, he left with some 275. in his pocket, of which ho had succeeded in bilking a poor man, without clearing a lot, or disburs ing one penny, and returned to his rural lodgings at night. M rather an ea r ly h our on t h e ensu i ng morning he was at Milton-hall, and paid great attention to a black mare,which he pretended to be extremely anxious to per chase, but which was catered in the catalogue for sale on the following day. Assuming a consequential air, he desired the groom to put on the saddle and bridle and bring her out, so as he could examine her and try her. Finding her slightly lame, he pre tended he would go to the blacksmith's and have her shoe altered, and return in a few minutes. This was in the morning. Between six and seven o'clock in the evening, Superintendent Graham, hearing that the fellow had rode away with the mare, questioned the groom, and found it to be the fact. The superintendent, with another officer, immediately went in pursuit of the fellow, and reached Kettering that night, rather over twenty miles from the place, where he discovered that the pretended agent had exchanged away the mare, sold the one for which he had exchanged for a few shillings, and started off by train from Wellingborough, with the saddle and bridle. After some inquiry, the stolen mare was discovered at Northampton. The next appearance of the fellow was at Walsall, in Staffordshire, on the 9th instant, at which place he pro fessed to be a broker, just arrived from London, to at tend a sale in th e ne i gh b ourhood. Here he remained two days, and on the 11th instant he stole another mare and rode her off to Fazeley fair, where he sold her with the sa ddl e and bridle which he had taken from Milton Ernest. At this place he had a narrow escape from being captured by the poli ce . The officer, on an intimation being given that the mare he had sold was a stolen one, started in pursuit of him, but he was passed tgheattliehgia out of th e way. career will be on the road by a person o n h orse b ack, who overtook the fellow, and it is supposed s uccee d ed in making him re turn the money which had been p a id for the mare; this of course gave him an intimation of th e imminent danger in speedily brought to a close. andhe suc h c o e w ed e e v d erT It he is to ie tob , e hoped, SCRIPTURE READERS' ASSOCIATION. --yesterday afternoon a meeting of the members of the above association was held at their rooms, in Spring-gardens, Charing-cross, for general business.

JEWS LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, SUSSEX-HALL. —The winter session of this institution was opened yesterday evening with a conversazione of the mem bers, and other friends, in the new hall attached to the e'tablishment in Leadenhall-street. Mr. Nathaniel Monte fibre presided; and among the other members of the Jewish persuasion present there were the Rev. Dr. Addler (the chief Rabbi), Mr. Fred. T. Goldsnsidt, the Rev. Dr. Schiller Zinessg of Manchester, and Mr. John Clarke. It appeared, from the speeches made during the evening, that the institu tion lacked support from those it most intended to benefit, The u and who, from their natural i ntell i gence, it was supposed would have readily availed th emselves of its advantages. The proceedings wound up by a concert, i n which a party of male and female members defighted the company with some audience. ew fa bre excellent singing.irsex ad m up by was crowded to excess, but the l by far the greatest portion of the ANNOTTO BAY MINING COMPANY AND LIGUANEA AND GENERAL MINING COMPANY.—A special general meet ing of the shareholders in the last of the above-named com panies took place yesterday., at their offices M Moorgate street, to consider the propriety of an amalgamation or the two companies. 51r. Prinsep, the chairman, stated that the basis of an amalgamation of the two companies had been laid, a former meeting, in a series of resolutions, under which 12,000/. additional capital would have to be raised. The Chairman moved the adoption of the resolutions, which was seconded, and unanimously g areed to. A similar meeting of the Ann o t to Bay Mining Company took place immediately afterwards, at which correspondMg resolutions were Passed. CWMDTLE ROCK AND GREEN LAKE COPPER DINE COMPANY. —The first general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday, at the Queen's Arms Poultry; Mr. John Webster in the chair. The proceedings consisted of the reading of reports from the engineer, the captain, the manager, and Professor White, who had personally inspected the mines. These reports were deemed highly encouraging by the adventurers, and were unanimously adopted. From an account presented, it appeared that pro perty to the value of 3,285/. belonged to the company at the mines, and that nothing wa s ow i ng. Of the 1/. shares, 1,449 had been issued, and 2,551 rema i ned to be issued.r. Lutwich, Mr. John Webster, the Rev. J. W. Blew, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Deckers , were elected mem b ers of committee. 'Votes of thanks to the chairman, and to the several gentlemen who presented reports, were proposed and duly acknowledged , after which the meeting separated. SUPPOSED SUICIDES BY DROWNlNG. — Yesterday, information was forwarded by the police to the various me tropolitan police stations, of the discovery of the bodies of persons who are supp ssed to have drowned themselves. The first was the description of a man, about 60 years of age, who was found in the river Lea, on Wednesday morn ing last, near Ilomerton. The second information referred to the finding of the body of a man, about 35 years of age, and about five feet six inches in height. The third gave an account of a man, between 50 and 60 years of age, who, with the former deceased, was picked up in the Regent's-canal, at Islington. ROYAL IV. A.TERMEN AND LIbIEITERMEN'S ASYLUM. —The poor watermen of the river have many claims on the public for support ; as from the advancement of science con sequent on the restoration of peace, the formation of docks, and above all the development of the mighty power of steam, the labouring waterman has been almost deprived of the means of his daily subsistence. Another and a strong consideration for their support by the public is, that they have been regarded by the legislature as one of the nurse ries for the royal navy, and by act of parliament of the 4th and sth of Queen Anne the company is compelled, in time of war to summon and provide such a number of watermen, to serve in the royal navy, as the Lord High Arniral of Eng land, or the commissioners for executing that office, shall from time to time give notice they require; and such persons so summoned are liable to imprisonment and disfranchise ment should they fail to appear when called upon, and many eminent and distinguished naval officers have borne The propriety, testimony to thei r excellence as seamen. of forming an asylum for the poor aged, de cayed and mai me d watermen an d lighte rmEn of the river, and their wives or widows, was for some time under the con sideration of t h e court of the compan y (a very ancient ost9 ; but, being unable, from the state of their funds and the general distress of their members, to erect a building for that purpose, they were induced, some time since, to solicit sub scriptions from their friends and the public for the purpose; of and la nd by the liberality they experienced, and the g if t of a piece at Penge, by the president of the i nstitution, Mr. John Dudin Brown, for the purpose, they have been enabled to build 41 houses for the accommodation of 41 married couples, where many of the aged, and decayed members of the company and their wives and widows are now living in humble and decent retirement.

Aft er h ear i ng t h e w h o l e of the case, the co roner summed up ; and as there was no evidence to connect the death with the ill treatment, the jury returned a verdict to the effect—" That the deceased died from disease of the heart; but whether produced by want of proper nourish ment, or any other cause, there was not sufficient evidence to show."

H. de Brouckere has definitively abandoned the mission of constituting a cabinet, and that M. de Theux has been sent for by the King. The new Ministry is to be chosen amongst the most moderate members of the Catholic party. M. H. de Bouckere and his combination failed on the question of the pre sidency of the Chamber, which was very inopportunely raised. The projected cabinet proposed M. Delfosse as President, but it was evident that the opposition would not have accepted that candidatesbip. The name of M. Loos, burgomaster of Antwerp, and member of the Chamber, was put forward, but with out any more success. M. Loos is the intimate friend of M. Charles Rogier. There was afterwards a question of giving the portfolio of the finance de partment to the same M. Loos. After many goings and comings, everything seemed terminated on Satur day evening, and the arrangements were concluded : when the return of M. Piercot from Liege made known the existence of new difficulties, which appeared of a nature to prevent the formation of a new Minis try. M. IL de Brouckere then declared respectfully to the King that his efforts had bean unsuccessful, and that he resigned into his hands the mission which he had accepted. It is said that in the new combination M. de Theux will have the Ministry of the Interior ; the Prince Joseph de Chimay, the Ministry of Fo reign Affairs ; and M. Mercier, the Ministry of Fi nance. But things, however, do not appear so far advanced as is pretended in certain saloons at Brus sels." The Independance of Brussels, alluding to the as sertion of the Journal de Francfort, that the Belgian Government had addressed a note to the foreign powers on the subject of the differences with France, says :—" The Belgian cabinet has not addressed any note to the cabinets of Europe on the subject of the commercial difficulties between France and Belgium. It has merely done what is usual in such cases, and what we believe the French Government has done in the present case, transmitted to its representatives at foreig❑ courts explanations of what had passed, in order to enable them, in their political conversations, to defend the line of conduct adopted by their Govern ment. We are informed that the circular in question was transmitted to the different Belgian legations before the official publication, of which it is au ana lysis, had been made." _ A meeting of the linen-thread spinners has just been held in Belgium on the subject of the commer cial differences with France. As the members of the meeting could not in the present ministerial crisis address themselves to any minister, they resolved on sending a direct address to the King. The Belgian journals do not state the nature of the address. We read in the Independance of Brussels :—" It is not a thing of rare occurrence to see dogs panting and dragging their master up the steeps of the city, while he idly lolls in his little carriage ; but what we have never before seen is a stout, well-grown man in the vigour of age, drawn by his wife, harnessed be tween two large dogs. It was in the Rue de Namur that we a few days since witnessed this act of conju gal autocracy, borrowed from the habits of certain Arab tribes. The Mussulma❑ attitude assumed by the Brabant Bedouin was quite in character; the pipe which he smoked, his copper -colour countenance, and his long black beard gave him quite the appearance of a real child of the Atlas." DENMARK. The last accounts from Copenhagen state that the health of the King had so far recovered that he had been able to visit the Exhibition of National Industry. POLAND. From the 24th May, when the cholera made its appearance at Warsaw, to the 21st August, there were 26,665 cases, of which 11,468 were fatal. 4,398 persons remained under treatment at the latter date. lONIAN ISLANDS. Letters from Corfu, of the Bth, in the Piedmontese Gazette, announce the arrival there of H.8.b1 frigate Spiteful, Capt. G. Parker, from Malta. The British fleet was expected at Corfu about the 15th from Sala mine, the prevalence of the small-pox at Corfu hav ing prevented it from coming sooner. The Lord High Commissioner was expected back at the same time. During the last ten days, there have been 380 new cases of small-pox at Corfu, 71 of which proved fatal. The thermometer was at 82 Fahren heit, and the drought was excessive. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatoh of busi. ness. BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL. Mr. I3ENNOCU gave notice of a motion for the appoint ment of a committee to inquire into the management of Bethlehem Hospital. (Hear, bear.) Mr. ANDERTON—I am convinced that the governors will be, every one of them, very glad to have an inquiry instituted as soon as possible. (Hear, hear.) POSTPONEMENT OF THE LORD MAYOR'S DAY DINNER. Mr. BARNARD said it would be matter of public con venience to be informed at the present time whether it was intended to Imstpone the banquet which would in tne usual course take place on the 9th of November, to any subsequent period? As the Lord Mayor Elect was in Court, a notice of that hon. gentleman's intention would be acceptable. (" Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Alderman CHALLIS (the Lord Mayor Elect) said he was glad to have the opportunity thus afforded to him ~1 expressing himself upon a subject of no doubt some interest. It had been, he begged to inform the court, intimated to him that if her Majesty's ministers were invited to the entertainment on the 9th of November, the nearness of that day to the time appointed for the fune ral of the Duke of Wellington would prevent their ac ceptance of the invitation. (Hear, hear.) In order to prevent any disappointment on the subject of the usual entertainment, he was desirous of assuring the court that ho and his colleague, the sheriffs, would take the earliest opportunity after the approaching funeral cere mony, of requesting the ministers to appoint a day, for the banquet, adapted to their convenience. (Cheers.) Mr. ANDERTON—Then there is no idea of applying the money which ought to be expended on the dinner to bail ling almshouses? Alderman CHALLIS—Not the least. (Loud laughter ) COPENHAGEN FIELDS MEAT MARKET. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR solicited the attention of the court to the report on the memorial against the adoption of the site at Copenhazen Fields for the new cattle market. lie believed that the document, which certainly com municated the feeling of the committee, would as faith fully represent the opinion of the whole court, and he thought it would be advisable to consider that report, and the report upon the petition of those who were in favour of the site at the same time. (Hear, hear.) The report was then read; it concluded as follows :—" Th e committee feel not only that there will bo ample room for the market and its auxiliaries, and for any increased demand for a century to come, but also that there is room sufficient to keep the market at a distanc e from the houses at present erected in the neighbour hood. Your committee know that they would also best meet the wishes of your honourable court in not disregarding even the imaginary fears of the owners and occupiers of houses and property adjoining Copenhagen-fields; but after ma turely considering all the objections which had been stated, they are satisfied that many of the complaints are unfounded, and the imaginary difficulties exagger ated. The petitioners truly state that the providing a metropolitan market, and conveniences connected there with, in lieu of Smithfield Market, is a task of no ordi r.iary kind, as the Corporation of London have ever found I,:e;arto t r he aft n e e r v i i ving entertained the subject for nearly fifty yeare, they have never been able to diEcover a new f ' r eot e h,peo: which t:ead dt s : po wase(cioe:weointrlhi Opposition, gp u ei tf i t e ei ol dl) specieseaxsexcept witnessed of n f teh o s es p e p o. t v i nt o rhoo n etp on sitesoeewdt h __ a.. in C'iray'.l-inn-lane and Si. , a-fieldo; nor were ad ne ble to suggest any new site which 1- reet leading north from Farringdon- stre'i The report, after some discussion, was ordered to be received and agreed to.

DIOCESAN SYNODS. , Yesterday a public meeting of the clergy and laity o the Church of England of the northern district, o❑ the subject of diocesan synods, was held by adjournment ) from Gloucester, in the largo room of the Lion Hotel, in Warrington. Previous to the public meeting divine . service took place in the parish church of Warrington, when prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Powis, the rector ; and the Canticles were chanted by the pupils of the Warrington Church of England Training School for Young Females. A committee meeting was also held at ten o'clock, and at one o'clock the doors were thrown open to the public. The large room was very well filled with clergymen and laymen, considering the unpropitious state of the weather, which must have deterred many persons desirous of attending from coming from a dis tance. Among those present were: —Revs. Thomas Collins of Knaresborough, Geo. Gilbert of Grantham, Wm. Pound of Malton, C. IL Burton, Dr. Chas. Burton, F. T. Ripley, Henry Wray, Edwin L. Blenkinsopp, Alan Greenwell, Wm. Walling, C. H. Wood, M. J ames , J . Irvine, Chas. J. Cumming, Cecil Wray, Geo. Hunting ton, H. J. Huntington, Edward Weight, S. G. F. Perry, J. Gaitskell, Geo. Willett of Arley, &c.; Lord de Tab ley ; Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., of Hawaren Castle, Fiintshire; Messrs. John H. Charlton of Runcorn, John Lindsay of Haigh-hall, Henry Woodstock of Wigan, B. G. E. Warburton of Arley, &c. The chair was taken by the Rev. Thomas Collins. Prayers having been offered up by the Rev. Wm. Pound. The Rev. Chairman having introduced the business of the meeting there was an immense amount of speechi fying, in which Sir Stephen Glynne, E. War burton, and several other members of the laity took part. _ Sir STEPHEN GLYNNE, Bart., proposed the first reso lution, viz., That it is the duty of the Church to as semble her synods, as soon as it can be done with prudence and good understanding ; in order that her holy mission o n eart h ma y be fulfilled Kith increased faithfulness, and that Churchmen may sooner compose those differences which now unhappily interfere with her efficiency," which was warmly supported, and ultimately carried unanimously. Mr. POUND then rose, in the unavoidable absence of the Rev. Canon Trevor, to move the next resolution, viz.—" That the present condition and probable pros pects of the Church of England call loudly upon all Church authorities to give every facility for consulta tion, and to make every effort in bringing before assem blies, now in common or partial use, the more pressing necessities of the Church in a definite and convenient form." The resolution was supported by Lord de Tabley, and, like the first, it was carried unanimously, as was also the third, which was proposed by the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, as follows:—" That the meetings in behalf of diocesan synods be for a time suspended at the discretion of the committee. And that all parties feeling the vital im portance of this subject be reminded that considerable pecuniary liabilities have been incurred, and that your financial committee, the Rev. George Gilbert and the Rev. Ralph Grenside, will be glad to receive the means of discharging the same." Thanks having been cordially voted to the chairman and to the secretary, the proceedings of the day closed itla the apostolical benediction. ANOTHER ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND, The King's County, which may claim an unenviable distinction in the annals of agrarian crime, has been again disgraced by another brutal assassinatio❑ of that character. The particulars of the sanguinary deed are as follows:—"It appears that Mr. W. R. Manifold left Tullamore in his gig about six o'clock on Tuesday evening last, with the view of returning to his residence at Munny, near Frankford. Ho was in a gig and was accompanied by Mr. John Dyas, of Frankford, whom Mr. Manifold had accommodated with a seat to the market of Tullamoro. They proceeded as far as Pallas hill, in the parish of Killoughy, within less than a quar ler of a mile of Blue Ball Village, where there is a police-station. When they began to ascend the hill, the horse's pace was slackened. Mr. Manifold, who was driving, had his face turned round to Mr. Dyes, with whom ho was conversing, when the unsuspecting gentle man was fired at from the right-band side of the road. Mr. Dyas hearing the report of a shot, looked round to see whence it came, when he saw the appearance of smoke i❑ the ditch, on the driving aide. Fearing some thing had oceurred, he looked into Mr. Manifold's face, when his head inclined towards him, and he saw that he was dying, He then laid the unfortunate gentleman, who never uttered a word after receiving the shot, on the seat of the gig. He felt convinced ho was dead, and, getting out of the gig, leaving the horse to walk on, he ra❑ as last as he could to the police barrack at Blue Ball, and communicated the occurrence. The police then ran towards the place, and met the gig with Mr. Manifold's remains in it. This int lancholy occurrence took place between half.past six and seven o'clock. The body was removed to the barrack to await a coroner's inquest. Mr. Man:fold wasin the prime of life, and universally respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He has left a wife and one child to deplore his loss, The assassin must have been not far distant from Mr. Mani fold when he fired. The inquest was held on Wednes day, before James Dillon, Esq., coroner. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against some person or persons unknown. The body was then placed in a shell and conveyed to Munny, the residence of the late respected gentleman. CALIFORNIAN GOLD.—The total amount manifested in Cd.litornia for parts of the United States, from the sth December, 1851, to the sth April, 1852, was 12,744,417 dols. (about 2,545,0001), which would have reached the mints of the Union in the natural course during the first five months of the year. The deposits of Californian gold at the several United States mints daring these five months were, however, no less than 20,773,000 dols. (4,154,6001.), or 60 per cent. more than the amounts manifested at San Francisco, and due at the mints during that period. Besides these instances are recorded of such largo sums as 5,000 dollars to 25,000 dollars, and in one case 80,000 dollars, having been taken packed up in ordinary luggage, with a view to saving freights. The entire product of California up to the 31st of December, 1851, including the shipments to all parts, and the sums retained in the country, is estsmated at 140,930,000 dollars (about 28.186,0000 ; and that of the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1852, at 33,849,774 dols. (6,730,0004), raising the entire pro duct from the commencement of the gold discoveries to the last-mentioned date to 174,780,000 dollars, or about 34,956,0Q0/, The herring fishery of Holland is proving very productive this year ; 11 boats arrived at boatsSchevening on the 18th and 19th inst., with 781,000 herrings-15 having returned in all. COURT OF SESSION.—Tho rumoured resignation of Lord Medwyn is now confirmed. Lord Medwyn was called to the bar in 1799, and raised to the bench in 1825, and after such long service, and at the advanced age of seventy-six, his Lordship's withdrawal from the laborious duties of the Court cannot excite surprise. Lord Med wyn will carry with him into his retirement the respect and esteem of all who have known him during any period of his useful and honoured career. It is generally understood that the vacant judgeship will be conferred on Mr. John Marshall, Dean of Facul ty, an appointment which will be considered as fit and acceptable by both sides of the bar. The name of Mr. Hercules Rberrtsore Sheriff of Renfrewshire, is man . tioned in connection with the vacancy thereby created in the office of Dlin of Faculty.—seot sman .
