Although the return is perhaps rather below than above an average in quantity, the condition in which the corn has been got in will, I think, make up for this. We have had very cold north wind during part of the time since my last communication, and last week we had a little snow, which, however, remained on the ground for a couple of days only. We have since that time until to-day had weather resembling, I should think, what in America they call their `lndian summer.' It has now become wet and misty—the staple weather of this quarter; but I believe there is very little corn now exposed in any part of the island. The disease among the potatoes still continues, and this—for only a small quantity was planted by some of the people—has exhausted the whole stock of some of them already.—lnverness Courier. JEWS AND GERBRAL LITERARY AND SCIENTIC INsTrrunow.—The opening of the lecture session of this institution, was celebrated yesterday evening by a con versagione, when the reading-rooms were attended by a large concourse, and were decorated with various ob jects illustrative of the arts and sciences. On tho platform was the Rev. the Chief Rabt.i, and the Presi dent, Hanaeel de Castro, Esq., Dr. Van Oven, Colonel Gawler, and a number of ladies. The President ad dresed the assembly : he stated that 118 lectures had been delivered at the institution during the past four sos sions, illustrated by diagrams and costly apparatus. The library for reference and circulation, now contains up wards of 4,000 volumes, amongst which are works of the highest reputation in Hebrew, German, and English literature. The number of life subscribers was stated to be 71, making, with subscribing members, 302.

The letters from Margarita receive , at Trinidad confirm the intelligence of the defeat of Paez and his fleet off that coast. The capture of two of his vessels is also stated to have been effected by the Government forces, who, besides taking the chief officers prisoners, also secured a considerable booty in money. On this subject, also, the following official information has been received from his Government by the Venezuelan consul in London, dated Caraccas, sth of October, namely-- " That the rebel squadron was hemmed in in the Gulf of Maracaibo, and blockaded by the forces of the Govern ment, under General Justo Brieino; that on the 21st of September they had disembarked their soldiers and marines at Quisiro, on the banks of the Gulf, where they were encountered by the Commandant Baca, and completely routed, leaving two cannons, their baggage, and ammunition, and a number of killed, wounded, and prisoners on the field. The remainder returned pranipi. tately to their ships. The rest of the Rspublic was per fectly tranquil, the elections having taken place in the best order, and it was expected that the authority of the Government would soon be re-established in the province of Maracaibo, as it is elsewhere. Paez remained in the Dutch island of Curscoa, much dispirited at the ill suc cess of his attempts at insurrection." FOUR ATTIMPTS AT ROMIERT.—EarIy on Thurs. &iv morning some thieves effected an entrance to the Weekly Chronicle office, Strand, through the back part of the premises, by availing themselves of a scaffold and ladder in the court close by. Theywearme,phedowo.heveierr,odnils; appointed in their expectations, for after f orc i ng open the desks, cupboards, and till, they decamped, booty being a few postage stamps. Similar attempts were made the same morning on the three adjoining houses, but fortunately the thieves were foiled in each instance. Tna WEATHEIL—During the last few says we have had alternations of wind, rain, and cold. Wednes- day night was a regular soaker, but yesterday morning the house-tops and the streets bad a coating of snow and sleet, and the latter having frozen after its fall, the foot paths and roads presented difficulties to biped and qua drupeds, not often seen at so early a period. In many p Ins of England, Scotland, and Ireland, there have been heavy falls of snow and severe frosts, but whether this very early setting in of winter predicates a long and severe, or a short and mild one, is a matter best left to tho weather prophets. between whom experience wili decide.—Liverpool Mercury of this day. Tnz TRANSIT OF MERCURY YESTERDAY.—The an nouncement in the newspapers of the approach of the transit of Mercury over the disc of the sun, has excited more interest in the public mind than could well have bet n expt cfed in a time of such a pressure of momentous events in politics and commerce. The interest taken in astronomy is evidently great, and only waits a favourable opportunity for its full development. The transit began at eleven o'clock, and had not finished at sunset. The day was highly favourable, and, with the help of week telescopes, the planet was seen distinctly to traverse from the eastern to the western limb of the sun's disc, passing., in its course, one very large dark spot, and another less extensive on the sun's surface. It is a memorable astronomical event, and will serve to give greater correctness to the theory of the motions of the planets. Although another transit of Mercury will take pl►ce in 1861, still the uncertainty of the weather may make this the last that will be seen here for many years. —Liverpool Mercury. MB ROYAL 1-7 ,....05P1TALS OF Lorsporc —The Bishop of Lichfield (Dr. Lonadale) has consented to preach the next Spital Sermon, before the Lord Mayor and corpo ration of London, at Christ Church, Newgate-street, on behalf of the Royal Hospitals of Bridewell, Guy's, Beth lem, St. Bartholomew's, St. Thomas's, and Christ Church. The sermon on the following day will be preached before the Lord Mayor and corporation in the same church, by the Rev.

FROM THE MORNING 7APERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Yesterday was the great metropelion ft s deity. The Chief Magistrate of the ancient city of London entered his year of office with the same antique pageant, grave ceremonial, and magnificent hospitality that our fathers saw before us, ere the age of revolutions had begun. Representing all the municipal corporati, ns of the country, he presented himself, with all his civic court, at her Majesty's Palace of Westminster to be sworn to his arduous duties; and after the "double triumph" by land and tide, which still excites the smile it did a century ego, he received the chief notabilities of the empire at that same Guildhall which Planttigt nets and Tudors have visited on similar occasions. Anuotig the few relics of old London, happily there survives one centre of civic associations. It i. true, that instead of the lurid torch, the blazing hearth, or the forest of wax candles, the walls are resplendent with gas, and ten thousand myste• rious tongues of flame shed aseconddaylight on the fes-tive array. It is true that the chiefs exalted to the dais are no longer men of fierce countenance, more used to blows than to words. Lots er dowa, faces full of comfort and wealth contrast oddly enough with the barbaric rtliyies that still adorn the hall. Yet as a whole there is not to be found, probably in all Europe, a more perfect and me : tural mediaeval idea than the Lord Mayor's banquet and show. The scene which historic novelists have attempted to describe with so much tedious detail is here recog nized at a glance. It is no uffectation, no revival, no vain attempt to ingraft old upon new—it is old London where it was, and, in many honourable respects, vary much what it was. Go where you will you will nowhere see so goodly a muster of ld English industry, honesty, and skill. Of the many hundred men who yesterday crowded the hall and its adjoining apartment, nearly all had :risen to a position of competence, resptc tauility, eminence, dignity, or power, by habits of independent feeling and exertion. The vast variety assembled illustrates the uniformity of character pervading all the orders of British society. There were the constitutional advisers of the Crown, men of no mean reputation or ill tried honour; there were distinguished naval and military commanders, the law officers of the Crown, judg, s, dignitaries of the Church, noted merchants and tradesmen, men who had made their own fortunes, and won their own fame. The Lord Mayor sat on the seat whereon have sat before many a man who once was houseless, and who after wards attained still higher distinction. Many of our nobility, if they wish to go back so far, will find the cunabula of their race in the gaudy honours of the homely old city. The tone of such a company is that of industry and honour. Here are no murmurings against fate, no accusations of the elements or the stars, no jealousy of Governments, no schemes of revolution or greediness of plunder; for the simple reason that our good citizens have proved and ascertained by expe rience that a man may generally rise if he chooses, and that if he does sink lower, or grovel in his native squalor, it is generally his own fault. In such a place, if anywhere, may be permitted those modest congratulations which will sponta neously rise to the lips and struggle for utterance, at the comparison of this metropolis with its continental sisters. Prudish meralists have forbade us this innocent joy. We were lately told by a man who has not taken his own elevation with the most exemplary meekness that it is self righteous to recognise the remarkable immunity we hitherto enjoy from the scourge of epidemic insurrection. The parallel, indeed, is striking enough. Our Hotel de Ville is occupied by harmless citizens, instead of a revo lutionary junta, or a democratic clique. Instead of whole battalions a few unarmed policemen protect it from in vasion. Our metropolis has not seen its streets con tested inch by inch by furious factions. It has net become familiar with volleys of musketry and the thunder of cannon. It his not been besieged by provinces, blockaded by famine, bombarded, and taken by assault. It has tot been mined from below, and burnt with rockets from above. It has not been entered by victorious strangers. It is not a prey to anarchy. It is not " goy( tried" by an imbe cile, or, what is worse, by a man too crazy to reign, unit too sane to depose. Its ciezens are not armed. Its youths do not dream of conquests, at least on European soil. Its credit, shaken by commercial mischief at home, has revived even under the alarms of spreading. revolution ; its industry is not abated, and the fountain of wealth is not dried up. It is scarcely human not to think of the se things and be thankful for them. Such congratulations need not be alloyed by vanity or ill will. We can receive with equal pleasure Lard Lens dowee's well-deserved compliments to the loyalty of the late Lord Mayor and his fellow- citizens when threatened with revolution, and M. de Beaumont's excellent obsFr ration, that the common prosperity is furthered by i in ternational peace, and impaired by war ; and that t is rather our object to raise our neighbours than to ruin them. CHRONICLE.—We may fairly and properly address to our countrymen the words addressed by Burke to the House of Lords, towards the conclusion of his famous speech against Warren Ilastings—" Your justice stands pre-eminent in the world; but it stands amidst a vast IsOap of ruins, which surround it in every corner of Europe." It is this last circumstance which gives a more than common significance in the case of His Royal Highness the Prince Consort v. Strange (reported in our paper of the 7th); for although the superficial observer may regard it as a mere matter of course, that the highest personages in the realm should appear before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to enforce a claim, and be received on a perfect footing of equality with the lowest, it is not the less true that there is not another country in the world, aristocratic or democratic, monarchical or re publican, where the Sovereign or the First Megistrate, or any one identified in intern st with the Sovereign or First Magistrate, would appear in a court of justice without fear and trembling, or (worse still) without an undue, yet well-grounded, confidence in the result. The first remarkable occasion on which the stern, uncompromising character of British law became fami liarly known throughout Europe, was in Queen Anne's time, when an Ambassador from Peter the Great was arrested in the streets of London for a debt of fifty pounds. Peter was furious, and insisted that the Sheriff of Middlesex, and all others concerned in the affair, should be punished with instant :death; but the Queen replied, that " she could inflict no punishment unles, warranted by the law of' the land; and, therefore, was persuaded that he would not insist upon impossibilities." Napoleon, as arbitrary as Peter in his way, accepted with extreme reluctance the small reparation offered him in the prosecution of Pt ltier; and could never be made to understand that the Government might not have gagged Sir James Mackintosh had they thought fit. The legal victory gained by Horne Tooke's father, a poulterer, over the Heir Apparent of the British throne, might have taught him better; or he might have been consoled on bearing that one of the severest mortitications ever inflicted on a member of our Royal Family, was the being defeated in the attempt to stop a path across Richmond-park by a shoemaker. It is remarkable that Napoleon did once suspend a pro jected improvement in Paris rather than eject a shoe maker who refused to resign his tenement; but the Em peror was so little in the habit of respecting rights of any kind that we suspect this solitary instance to have been a coup-de-theatre at the best. When 1., uis Philippe laid claim to the right of engrsving from the new pictures in the Ve rsaill, s Gallery, and the claim was contested by the painters, he forthwith proceeded to use the whole influence of his Government to get a legis lative declaration of his alleged rights, and failed It will be admitted on all hand: th a t our Sovereign. and her Royal Consort have come with infinitely more grace be fore the public, in th e i r ca p ac i ty o f patrons of 'art and assertors of their rights as amateur art i sts. As to these "rights, there was not the sh a d ow o f a d oubt from the beginning. The only difficulty was to discover the proper parties to be proceeded against. " The in formation stated that her Majesty the Queen, and her Consort, his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, re spectively, h a d occas i ona ll y , f or t h e i r amusement, Made drawings and etchings, principally on subjects of private and domestic interest to themselves, of which etchings they had made impressions for their own use, and not for publication; that,. for the greater privacy, such im pressions had been for the most part made by means of a private press kept for that purpose, and the plates themselves had been ordinarily kept by her Majesty under lock ; that the impressions had been placed in some of the private apartments of her Majesty at Wind sor, and in such private apartments only." These had been abstracted, and a gallery formed of them, which had been duly advertised, as well as a work entitled " A Descriptive Catalogue of the Royal Victoria and Albert Gallery of Etchings." The collection (according to the report) " contained portraits of the favourite dogs of the Queen and the Prince, etchings from old and rare engravings in the possession of her Majesty ; several from the original designs of the Queen and his Royal Highness, repr ese nting warriors, the heads of animals and birds, and historical and domestic subjects, and a variety of interesting works, some from original drawings by Landseer and other esteemed artists. The information alleged that the impressions of the etchings were intended to be for the private use of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and that al though copies of some of them have been occasionally and rarely given to some of their private friends (one to one friend and one to another), no such collection as that so advertised for exhibition as aforesaid was ever given away by them or either of them, or by their or either of their permission ; and no such col lection could have been formed, except of im pressions surreptitiously and improperly obtai ne d.'" Alter the requ i s it e technicalities were complied with, the desired " injunction" was decreed. The impression left by the perusal of "Lord Hervey's Memoirs "is certainly not favo ura bl e to royalty. It is not simply the irregul ar i t i es i n which one of the royal pair, so graphically delineated by Sporus, indulged with the express sanction, and even connivance, of the other, but the total absence of refine ment or cultivation in their pursuits, which strongly offends modern notions. But any rash conclusion to which a reader of delicate perceptions and high moral tone may have been hurried regarding the effects of high station, will be at once corrected and repelled by the charming picture of domestic life in a palace, inci dentally suggested by the grave legal documents in this case. Monarchy is safe in the affections, as well as in the principles, of the people, so lung as the curtain, however rudely and suddenly drawn, is sure to disclose nothing but harmony, purity, intellectual habits, good feeling, and good taste ; and Justice receives the high est of earthly homages when Princes and Rulers Leek, of their own accord, her judgment-seat. CHOLERA ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER SEAFLOWER, AT JERSEY. - The Admiralty were in formed yesterday of cholera having broken out on board the above vessel, stationed for the protection of the British fisheries at Jersey; and more medical re sources than tho ship afforded being required to meet the exigencies of the case, their Lordships have ordered medical officers to be dispatched from Portsmouth to her relief. The steamer Myrtle took out the required medical aid yesterday afternoon. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—This being the annivfr sary f the birthd•ly of the Prince of Wales, the event ryas commemorated by lestive assemblies by the heads of departments of this port and garrison, and by a superb fall and banquet at the King's Rooms, given by the bachelors of the navy at this port, to which upwards of 400 of the elite of the port and district were invited. The Plumper screw-schooner was commissioned to day by Commander Nolloth, and was removed from the basin. Tre Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. IL Eden, was at sea on the 12th of September, all well. The Commodore was ill St. Paul de Loando at that date, but had arranged to be at St. Helena on the Ist of November, to remain there until the 30th, and then sail for Ascension, to hold one or two courts-martial. The Amphitrite sailed from the Bights on the 17th of August, reached Ascension on the 23th, filled up with provisions - Toe, the Bights squadron until February, and sailed again for'the Bights on the morning of the 3d of September, about 5 30 s o re. A.I. About 6 . on Sunday, th e 10 t h o f September, fia. lal. 4 deg. 1 min. N., long. 1 deg. 45 win. W., she cap tured a brig under Brazilian colours, with 283 slaves on board, 12 days from Whydah, after a chase of two hours and a half, 1%1, h all tl.e sail she could set. Theprize did nut heave to until the inner studding sail tack was shut away by one of the Amphittite's bow guns, fired by Lieut. Furneaux. This was most fortunate, for laden up as the Amphi rate was with provisions, and difficult as it was to get even the bow guns clear, the prize might have got away, being a " clipper," and haying a crew of upwards of twenty hands on boardi. She was dispatched to Sierra Leone before twelve o'clock in charge of Mr. Graham, mate of the Amphitrite, with Mr. Baker, mid shipman, and ten men. The Amphitrite left at Ascen sion the Tortoise guard-ship, the Wanderer, refitting, and the Blazer, preparing to go to the southward, to meet the Commodore. In the Bights, the Cygnet, the Star, the Firelly, and the Dolphin. Mr. Hutchins, second master, who left the Amphitiite in the prize in May last, and Lieutenant Strickland, who left in a prize in July last, had neither of them rejoined at the above date from Sierra Leone. The Amphitrite left Lieut. Walker, five officers (juniors), and five men ill at the hospital, but none of them seriously; three men were invalided. Capt. Eden and all the officers, with very many of the men, have been ailing since the Amphitrite left Ascension. Very few of the crew appear able to bear with impunity the sudden transition from the coast, even to Ascension and back; and although there are none of them seriously ill, their health is clearly little able to resist any stronger attacks of disease. Our correspondent concludes:—" The captures have, no doubt, been nume rous of late; but from this it would be wrong to infer that the trade in slaves has been in the like degree checked. The truth is, it is carried on extensively'— that we only add to the horrors of it; and while doing so, tax poor John Ball to the tune of a million or more per annum." The Ajax, 56, steam guard-ship, was removed fron the basin to-day. The Re) nard screw steam-schooner, Commander P. Cracroft, was r. moved from the basin this morning, and immediately afterwards docked, the Urgent steam vessel having been undocked last evening to make room for her. The Manosuvrer lighter, with stores, from Deptford, for Clartnce-yard, arrived this morning. Wind, N.E. by N.; fresh breezes and fine weather. PLYMOUTH, NOV. B.—Her Majesty's frigate Ddultis, was taken into dock yesterday. Her Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, is to be masted to-day. Her Majesty's brig Heroine, 10, Captain Edmunds, waits orders directing at wh a t p or t s h e i s to b e pa i d off. The Admiralty Financf.! Committee, yesterday morn ing, at half-past nice, landed from the Black Eagle's beat at the Royal William Victualling-yard. Their Lordships first visited the office of Captain Toup Ni cholas, the Captain Superintendent, with whom and Mr Armstrong, Master Attendant, and Mr. Pike, Store keeper, they continued in conference until half-past eleven. Their Lordships then inspected the brew house, the Clarence spirit-store, and the bakehouse, and at twelve o'clock left for the Black Eagle in Flamotaze. The Glene'g emigrant ship, for Port Adelaide ; the Lord Hungerford, fur Port Philip; and the Athenian, for Port Adelaide and Port Philip, sailed this afternoon. The passengers per Steadfast suffering from scarlatina continue to progress favourably. Wind northerly, light, fine weather. THE CORN TRADE. GLASGOW, Nov. B.—The foreign arrivals at Grange mouth since last week comprised only about 784 quarters of wheat, 1,000 quarters of barley, 600 quarters of oats, 800 quarters of be ans, and 75 quarters of peas.

On beaus the turn was in laser of ihe seller. Peas in fair demand. Oats unaltered. During the pres.nt week the transac tions in wheat have been limited, our millers holding off wher than submit to any advance. Barley, the turn lower, and a dull sale. Beans held for more money, with which buyers will not comply. We have less inquiry for peas. Only a limited sale for oats at former prices. At this day's ma:ket there was a large supply of wheat ; the trade ruled dull, at rather un c er the rates of this day week. Barley, Is. per quarter lower. Oats a very slow sale, and to have made progress a reduction must have been submitted to. Beans in good demand, and fully as dear. Peas maintained their value. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
