Pa blie if nirnalists should avail themselves of the °PP (aim city to indicate the general feeling on the que. ;blot L, that must for many years, if not perma nent Iy, ap-peal forcibly to their own pockets and these. of th.eir children. It has lar.)en assumed, most unfairly, by the ad voca es o f the existing system, that it would be c'ndt, not impossible, to levy the Income-tax on a'llY 0 ther basis than that of a uniform per cen whe up( m each person's receipts, no: matter from wh at soli arce derived, and that, therefore, for fiscal P l irPOSel 3, revenue arising from mental or bodily n lah -- nr, or from the fluctuating and precarious Profits of trade, must be placed on exactly the ali ne f< )undation as if it was obtained from accu illnla to d and realized property of the best descrip tion, from the ground rents of a well-circum- Ita nc ed estate, or the dividends on the public lfan4l l• This, in other words, is, that because we cane' )t. introduce a perfectly equitable principle, ca ase we cannot exactly discriminate between th e value of professional or trade incomes of the tau' Le class, both must be assessed at the very hil ;hest . possible rate, that one man must be charged four times, and another eight times, as ch as he ought to be required to pay. This 44 ' acuity may be completely removed by giving 11 1 0 the assessment on Income, properly so called, at al charging nothing but property, according to it a capitalized value. But if, despite of the nu serous advantages attendant on such a course, Daoine of which we have recently pointed out, our - lawgivers are resolved still to retain their hold on the earnings of industry, with all its demo.. ralizing results, and notwithstanding the serious losses occasioned by the system of exemptions - thereby rendered necessary, some attempt ;at least might be made, at an approxima tion, sufficient to satisfy those who have hitherto been so heavily victimized, and who, so long as any portion of indirect taxation is re tained, must contribute more than their fair pro portion to the national exigencies. Such an oximation might easily be made which would nft much nearer approach to perfect fairness than the Income-tax in its present form, or any deBcription of customs or excise duties. The principle of taxation generally recognized Is, that it is just and expedient to charge every In 'n upon what he may reasonably calculate on vent inuilig to spend. This will, we believe, be admitted even by the advocates of the present sYstera, who contend that "the balance of in vestments should not be distributed ; that every 14841 _ should pay on what he could expend in a B i.ngle year without diminishing thereby the amount of his capital." Now, we shall simply v ia j•llire whether ,a tax levied on the capitalized fio ' n e of each person's property would not exactly fil these conditions. The object should be that n en Person should have an equal power of ex penditure, and that the balance should remain the same When obliged to yield to the common lot an d surrender his possessions to a successor or mileeel3B °Da• It is palpably unjust to take as much t r el n the holder of a terminable annuity, which will .„„expire in some five or six years, and a considerable eurtion wh ereof must be allocated to replace the origi nal capital, as from the owner of a permanent or im proving v ing charge, such as the 3 per Cents., or lands dit in au improving neighbourhood; and if so, is aatio, still more inequitable to charge, in a similar precarious income arising from personal elert icus, and, which a failure of health, or a Ch ange;,.,,,, of fa s hi on ma y, a t a n y moment, greatly 'lace, or altogether take away. ~" Ala, but," say the solemn wiseacres, who 'laic they can prove black white, or convince t4.erB°lla against the evidence of their senses, "Oh, b ' if, from all incomes alike, you deduct an the rate of sevenpence in the pound, as is now th e case, the remainder will, as is obvious, be in L. ?_saine ratio as the original incomes, and so the 4 'nee of investment will not be disturbed. But, if_ from those who only get 3 per cent. for their Toney We take sevenpence in the pound, and fr om those who get 7 or 8 per cent. only, three- Pence or fourpence, it seems apparent that the balance will be disturbed, and capital will be b rought into th ose investments which are most lightly taxed, until profits are diminished, and so the balance reatorad," - -and from thence they a r rive at the conc l usion, that "it is altogether munaterial to professional men, whether, when a is laid on income, they pay their full share, or obt a i n a total exemption. " If this, indeed, be true, why not let these professional men, or Wuers of property paying high rates of interest, l o d ge for themselves. Why continue a system so Il dlY complained of if it be truly a matter of -1 Perfect indifference, so very immaterial as it " 441 . 3 stated to be ? The fallacy is, however, too PalPable, the assertion too startling, to be for a u°llleiat sanctioned. It is perfectly clear that, if the co me which one man can obtain be greater than th at . . i Which anoth er d er i ves from property of equal it can only be because the income, in one case, be o f a less d ura bl e na t ure th an i n th e o th er , or tiB e a.,_ use it can no t b e o bt a i ne d w ith ou t a d egree o f e f o r inconvenience to which the l a tter is not r ,,, Pese d• What does it matter what m ay be the t h -se nt income, whether the revenue derived from il e s aute capital be large or small, since ea c h per vati,:,llaY invest his capital in the manner most -- 'torily to himself, and he should not be 'v omitted t o d o so i n any way b y w hi c h h e cou l d ade hi s • Let just responsibility to the nation.

In that House of Com -411)°'18, of which he had once been himself a mem her----" It is our pride," said the Leader of that ° , llB e, last night, " that he was one of our t'le-wesit is our glory that Sir ARTHUR WEL-- . t . i si !t l ( once sat upon these benches :" in heta had a House of Commons, at the bar of which temore than once received the " thank s of ateful S enate for accumulated ,triumphs ;' --in 4 , t . house, last night, it emotio n was decreed, on the 4 on of Mr. D ISRAELI, seconded by Lord °ll/sT M "00111(1 R ssELL, " that th e Commons of England d o t hank her M AJESTY f or having given direc -45 for the public interment of the mortal re THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1852. mains of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, and should assure her MAJESTY of their cordial aid and concurrence in giving to the solemnity a fitting degree of importance." The public fune ral of the Duke of WELLINGTON assumes, in con sequence, as her MAJESTY had graciously designed, a national character. That last mark of respect and gratitude has been decreed to the mortal re mains of the Great Soldier, not only by the SOVEREIGN whom he served, but by the repre sentatives of the people for whom he fought, and never were the services of the Duke more gracefully set forth, never were the excellencies of his character more felicitously exemplified than •in the eloquent and touching language in which Mr. DISRAELI alluded to them last evening. " The Duke has been called fortunate," said Mr. DISRAELI, " but Fortune is a divinity which has ever favoured those who are at the same time sagacious and intrepid, inventive and patient. It was his own character that created his career," —a significant truth, which reminds us of an epigrammatic sentence uttered elsewhere by the same speaker —a sentence teaching the same invigorating lesson, "We . make our for. tunes and we call them Fate." Not to fortune, but to the characteristics of his own nature, the high position of the Duke of WELLINGTON must be ascribed ; "it was his supreme self-control alone that regulated his lofty fame." Then pausing in his panegyric to l i give a rapid and masterly sketch of the requirements of a great general, Mr. Dis- RAELI enumerated those varied and almost con flicting qualifications, the combination of which is so rare, but which combination is irre sistible. Having thus excited in his hearers a wondering admiration for the abilities of the soldier, most touchingly and most beautifully, the speaker then brought before them the image of the man, as they had last seen him, as they had long known him. " Who, indeed," he ex claimed, " can ever forget that venerable and classic head, ripe with time, and radiant, as it were, with glory." In the same strain of mingled admiration and sorrow, the right [hon. gentlenian concluded his address—an address eminently worthy of the occasion, because it testified not only the emotions of the speaker's own heart, but by his lips, as the leader of the people's repre sentatives it gave utterance to the people's feel ings with regard to WELTANGTox—feelings at once of joy and sorrow, of gratitude for the glory of the past, and grief for the bereavement of the present. LATEST F ROM AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. LIVEPOOL, Nov. 15. This day at noon, the Royal Mail steamship Europa, Ryrie commander, arrived in the Mersey from New York direct, whence she sailed on the 3d inst. at noon, with 35 passengers and the usual mails from the inited States and British America. The steamship Africa was passed within forty miles of New York. The delay of the Europa in entering the river arose from the dense fog that prevailed. The Presidential contest had terminated in the election of General Franklin Pierce, the Democratic candidate, for President, and Senator King as Vice- President. They had an immense majority. Judge Conklin had returned to Washington, ha ving settled the difficulty with Cuba, but the terms are unknown. L Mr. Everett will succeed the late Daniel Webster las Secretary in the Department of State. When the Europa left New York the markets were dull ; the exchange on London was quoted at noi to with little doing. The cotton market was firmer, and prices had ceased to retrogade. Flour had advanced from 12 to 20 cents. Naval Stores were in better request than pre viously, but without advance. Provisions steady, and in moderate request for shipping purposes. Freights were slightly improved, but rates to London and Liverpool remained nominally as last quoted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLIX. Great mystery prevails with respect to the principal Steeplechase to be decided tc..norrow at Warwick. At first, I imagined, as Maurice Dally and British Yeoman were so favourably handicapped, they would be the nags destined to figure foremost in the fray. I have since expressed a slight penchant for Abd-el-Kader as well. Now, as far as I can discover, the Yeoman is not meant. Abd-el-Kader seems to be in the same fix ; and there were some reports out yesterday, that the party had not got their money on Maurice Dally ; that they wanted longer odds than could be got; and so on. Taking all this into consideration, I do not feel disposed to depend upon either of these three to pull my judgmer* through, although I confess I have still a strong fancy that Maurice Daffy will run to win, and if he does so, he will be about the mark. Therefore I should advise the looking after that game animal Peter, who, at list 31b, is weighted quite enough, but not sufficiently to stop him from having a good chance of victory, The money is on, so we may expect he will do his best. Pro ceed, at 9st 121 b, was backed rather stiffly yesterday ; and as he seems to be meant, will, I presume, finish in one of the three first places. In short, in PETER, PRO CEED, and MAURICE DALLY, I anticipate seeing the first, second, and third horses. The race for this Steeple chase last year produced one of the most exciting and quickest contests of the kind on record -2--the time being 8 minutes and 57 seconds—Maurice Dally then, with 9st up, finished a good second to Oscar, at 9st 41b, and beating the heavy-weighted Lord George, who, carrying 12st 41b, finished third. The Free Handicap Steeplechase of 5 sovs. each, with 25 added, with penalties for winning, the winner to be sold by auction, &c. (three miles), will, not improbably, terminate in the victory of GULNARE ' • Simple Peter and Widow Machree finishing second and third, with Maria Bennett and Frank in the next places. Simple Peter is the only animal who has incurred a penalty, and he will carry 51b extra for winaing at Edgware. The Free Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 sovs. each, with 30 added, whiners of any hurdle race after the declara tion of the weights, 51b extra (two miles, over five flights of hurdles) will probably be contested by about a moiety of the acceptances. Up to the present time TOMBOY has monopolised all the the attention of the betting world for this race ; and if his exertions of to-day in the race for the Great Warwick Handicap do not tie him up, in him we may expect to see the winner ; Courier, my first fancy, being, I understand, out of the fray. aylad and Odiham are his most dangerous rivals; the starting of both, however, is more than doubtful. The filly by Don John, dam by Mundig, has the repu tation of being a tidy hurdle fencer. The Hunt Cup Steeple Chase, by subscription of 10 soya. each, for all horses that have been regularly hunted with any established pack of hounds, 11 st. 7 lb. each, the winner to be sold for 150 sovs. &C. &c. Gentlemen riders, professionals 6lb extra, (three miles). This race will probably terminate in the REIVE B an d V ICTRESS being first and second, with Trust-me -not in the third position ; Sir Edward and Quick-step being close up, fourth and fifth.

THE SCOTTISH IRON TRADE.—The rapid advance in the price of pig iron in Scotland from 355. to 58s. per ton has had the effect of increasing the means of produc tion as follows :—Additional furnaces going this year in Ayrshire, 14 ' • additional furnaces building in Ayrshire, 8 ; additional furnaces building in Fifeshire, 4 ; total, 26. These twenty-six furnaces will produce, on an average, about 140 tons each per week, or an aggregate of nearly 180,000 tons per annum. COMMITTAL OF AN AUCTIONEER AT BARNET.—At the Barnet Petty Sessions yesterday, Mr. F. W. Thomas, auctioneer, of 28, Leadenhall-street, and Josiah Selwyn, Brewer, late schoolmaster at Barnet, were brought up for final examination upon a charge of cohspiring to defraud Messrs. Cramer and Beale, music -sellers, of Regent-street, of a pianoforte, value twenty-five guineas, and they were fully committed fortrial. THE MURDER NEAR STAFFORD. — A clue has at length been obtained to the perpetrators of the atrocious murder of the Blackburns, at the Ashflats, near Stafford. The county police, who have been indefatigable in their ex ertions, succeeded in capturing on Saturday night last an Irishman, who was an ass oc i a t e o f th e sons , H enr y an d Thomas Blackburn. From admissions made by this man, there is little room to doubt that the robbery of the old couple was planned and the murder committed by a gang of five men, two of whom were sons of the deceased. These, who have been suspected from the first discovery of the crime, and t wo other men, have been lodgedsuicii SUICIDE gaol. E clll A SOLDIER.--Y esterday an inquest was taken by Mr. Bedford, at the Rising-Sun, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of William Dorling, aged 32.

A young man from the fkan of Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., agent for the United States Transatlantic Steam Company, proceed-. -mt. to the bank with bank notes to the amount of 3,000/, This sum was composed of ' five 5001. and five 100/. n o t es . On arriving at the bank, the youth inconsiderately placed the roll of notes on the counter, covering them with his left arm. At that mo ment a gentleman tapped him on the shoulder, and civilly asked him where he should be able to obtain change for a U. - note. TJrown off his guard, he raised his arm, and, pointing to a particul ar coun ter, said "there." During this brief period the notes disappeared from the counter. The simpleton immediately perceived his loss, and, in considerable alarm, he told the agreeable looking person at his side that some one had stolen his notes. "Indeed," was the reply, "then it was the man I saw go out just now. Here, come to the door, and I will show you which way be went." He accompanied his "friend" into the street. " See, that's the man : he's just turned down Cook - ktreet." The youth pursued the imaginary thief down Cook-street, while the real rascal walked briskly away in an opposite direction.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The General Screw-steam Shipping Company's vessel the Propontis, Captain Glover, arrived at Plymouth, on Monday, at 11, a.m., with mails from the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and the Cape de Verds. She left the Cape on October 9. The Propontis left Plymouth, Aug. 28 ; St. Vin cent, Sept. 10 ; and St. Helena, Sept. 25 ; arriving at the Cape Oct. 5. She left the Cape on her home ward voyage on Oct. 9, at four o'clock in the after noon, arrived at St. Helena on the 17th, at eight, p.m., arriving at Ascension on the 22d, at 7.30 a.m., left at 9 a.m., and arrived at St. Vincent, Oct. 30, at 11.30 p.m., and left for Plymouth, Nov. 2, arriving at the Great Western Docks, Nov. 15, at 10.30 a.m. She brings a cargo of 47 bales of wool, 1,108 green hides, 186 boxes of cop per ore, 601 pipes of wine, 3 aums ; 4 cases do., and 6 boxes of ostrich feathers, 1 package of ivory, and 34 packages of ivories. Her Majesty's brig Grecian arrived in Simon's Bay, Sept. 6, from Quillamane, and sailed again on the 26th for cruizing. Her Majesty's steamer Vulcan arrived in Simon's Bay, Sept. 13, from Cork, and sailed again on the 16th for Melbourne. Her Majesty's ship Castor was at Simon's Bay, October 9, from Quillamane. The Styx arrived at Port Elizabeth, October 2, from Table Bay, with Lieut-Colonel Duff, 74th Highlanders ; Messrs. Holmes and Habert, 45th Regiment ; and Cap tains Davis and Baker of the 74th Regiment ; Cap tain Eagar, 45th Regiment Sappers and Miners. The Hydra, from Simon's Bay, arrived in Table Bay, Oct. 5. Her Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus, Comman der Belam, sailed from Simon's Bay for England, Oct. 2, and Table Bay, Oct. 5, after a service at the Cape of two years. The merchant barque, Gratitude, arrived in Table Bay from Colombo, Oct. 5 ; was bound for London, but remained in the Bay on the Bth. The Great Britain, which arrived at St. Helena, Sept. 22, remained there six days to coal. The mails were transhipped from the Great Britain to the Propontis. H.M.

This important work was accomplished between the 14th and 18th Septem ber, by a force of 3,000 troops, having with them four guns, and led by his Excellency in person. The troops having been concentrated in the neigh bourhood of the Waterkloof on the 13th, two re doubts were thrown up in the Bush Neck Valley, one of stone and the other of earth, which were completed on the following day, and the commis sariat, hospital, and officers' tents placed within their shelter. The force was then so posted - as to command every accessible outlet from the scene of the intended operations, which in of an irregular hollow of several miles m extent, nearly surrounded by precipitous mountains, the bases of which, as well as the greater part of the interior basin, are densely wooded. The arduous nature of the duty imposed upon our gallant troops, of dis lodging such an enemy from such a position, may thus be faintly imagined. Private accounts speak highly of the personal activity and energy of General Cathcart during these operations ; and Colonels Eyre and Buller were distinguished by their wonted gallantry and skill- Owing to the nature of the country afford ing such facilities for concealing or carrying off the dead and wounded, no accurate estimate can be made of the loss suffered by the enemy. Report states that 100 Kaffirs were killed, and many o f their Tambookie allies ; 250 women and children were taken prisoners, in a wretched state of ema ciation, many of them being scarcely able to walk. An immense number of huts were burnt, and the Kloof was traversed in all directions, until it wa s ascertained that it h a d been thoroughly cleared of the enemy. At one place, Col. Eyre is said to have hung five men. At another, near the foot of the Iron Mountain, a gunsmith's shop was found, loop holed and strongly fortified, where a little garrison of Kaffirs made a determined stand, until it was stormed and taken by Lakeman's Volunteers; it was found to contain a quantity of miscellaneous ironmongery, and all kinds of materials for repair ing fire-arms. Macomo , and many of his men, however, contrived to make their escape, and their retreat has not yet been discovered. His Excel lency, in commending the troops for their exertions on this occasion, declared, as the result of the three days' operations, in which they had been engaged, that the Waterhloof and neighbouring fastnesses had been evacuated by the Tambookie chief Qwesha, and the Gaika chief Maeomo, with his adherents; and that the Hottentot marauders had been de stroyed and expelled, "whilst the occupation of commanding points, and the establishment of mili tary posts, effectually precludes their again fixing ' themselves in those haunts." The perfect satisfac tion and thanks of the Commander-in-Chief were, therefore, conveyed, in General Orders, to "Colonel Buller and Lieut.-Colonel Eyre, commanding co lumns, and their staff, to Lieut.-Colonels Nesbitt and Napier, as well as to the general and personal staff and commissariat department, to Major Bed ford, commanding 60th Rifles, to Major Pinckney, commanding 73d Regiment, Lieutenant King, commanding detachment 74th Regiment, Major Forbes, commanding 91st Regiment, Major Hors ford, commanding Rifle Brigade, Captain Bruce, 74th Regiment, commanding a detachment from Post Retief, and the several officers commanding levies," for the able manner in which this compli cated operation had been carried into effect. FRANCE. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. We find the following in the Moniteur : " Considerable efforts and manoeuvres of all kinds are made to spread amongst the people, at the moment of the solemn vote which it is called on to give, the pro tests of parties. The Government has no interest in opposing the publication of these documents, and will make them known itself, for in the great national move ment which carries France to the re-establishment of the Empire, the opinion of the people must be enlight ened, and its will, manifested without constraint, be the expression of its conviction. Let then the manifestoes of the " Revolutionary Committee of London," and of " the Proscribed Democratic Socialists of France re siding at Jersey, and united in general assembly," be read :—(The precious manifestoes are then given in extenso). "We do not," continues the Moniteur, " ac company these documents with any reflection.—At the same time as these abominable provocations are spread, efforts not less active are made to cause to arrive in all parts of the territory a protest, which we also make public. It is to be regretted that a Prince, who nobly supports his misfortune, should also, by an exaggerated sentiment of what he believes to be his duty, arrive at denying the right of the people to choose their Govern ment." The protest of the Count de Chambord is then given by the Moniteur, which concludes by say ing : " All these documents are now known to the country; its good sense and patriotism will judge of them as they deserve." The Prince President was to return last evening from Fontainebleau. The sporting which took place at Fontainebleau on Saturday and. Sunday was attended by a num ber of persons of distinction, who had received in vitations from the Prince President. The stag hunt on Sunday afforded very fine sport. The hounds were ninety in number. An old stag was first started, but after some time a young one was started, which drew off the dogs from the old one. They were, however, drawn off, and again laid on the scent of the old one, which they followed and killed after a run of three hours. The Prince President, who was mounted on a magnificent thorough-bred hunter, and his cousin Napoleon Bonaparte, were in at the death. All the gentle men present were dressed in a costume of green, bordered with gold race. Several ladies followed the hounds. On Sunday there was also a shooting party in the woods let to M. Fould and M. d e Caumont. More than 200 pheasants, four deer, and an immense number of hares and partridges were killed, and sent to the Palace. The Prefects of the departments continue to publish proclamations calling upon the ele c t ors to follow up with their votes the manifestations that they have made in favour of the Empire. TIIE DUKE'S FUNERAL. Ladies attending this National Solemnity will derive much personal comfort from th e use of ROWLAND , s AQUA D'ORO, the fragrant and sp i r i tuous virtue of which will refresh and invigorate the system in the heated and baneful atmosphere of crowded assemblages, or exposure to the cold and damp of our variable climate. In all cases of excite ment, lassitude, and fatigue, it will prove of great advantage. Row lands' Kalydor will also prove a most refreshing preparation for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sen sation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin.

SUICIDE.—A young non - commissioned officer of a regiment of chasseurs, stationed in the barracks of Jean at Nancy, blew out his brains three days ago with a pistol, after drinking a quantity of brandy. He com mitted this rash act in consequence of having squ andered his fortune of about 40,000 f., an d b e i ng una bl e to satisfy his creditors, by whom he was greatly tormented. 50 40 25 25 St. 25 100 St. 25 St. St. St. St. 16 20 5 2 10 25 10 1.0.1 50 100 110 100 181 20 20 100 100 20 50 100 81 184 100 100 100 100 100 100 160 all 100 100 100 100 100 all 1 100 20 17 5 9 .00 25 100 10 5 all 8} 0:10 LOO 411' nll 25 20 5 25 all 1 all 2 10 all COURT CIRCULAR.

MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. As we had previously announced, a meeting of the Conservative members of the House of Commons took place yesterday for the purpose of hearing from the Pre mier an exposition of the course of policy and action in tended to be pursued — by himself and his Government. About 250 members of the LdWer House accordingly assembled in Downing-street, and were addressed by the Noble Lord at considerable length in those lucid, frank, and manly terms which so peculiarly become him. No point of policy was left untouched, no purpose was veiled. We are in possession of the substance of his Lordship's speech, but we are unwilling to publish a sunvnary of it lest faction should seize upon and misconstrue a con densed phrase, or upon a word, for its own especial pur poses. Let our readers remain satisfied with the fact, that the address was received with unanimous enthu siasm ; and • that when Lord Derby, in conclusion, in vited discussion Upon any .of the points he had advanced, there was not a voice raised even for the purpose of debating the smallest of the details he had explained— cordial approbation and a resolve to support thoroughly the measures of Lord Derby's Administration were more positively and unanimously manifested than at any pre vious similar assembly.—Morning Herald. [We are given to understand that the address of Lord Derby fully expressed the adherence of the Government to the free-trade policy, and the "unanimous enthusi asiasm " alluded to by our contemporary, on the part of the hearers of that address, affords satisfactory evidence that the Government party have at length learned the true wisdom of yielding with a good grace to the popu lar will.—ED. SUN.] THE DUKE'S FIINERAL.—This morning a large body of workmen commenced hanging the front of Temple Bar with black cloth, for the purpose of doing honour to the memory of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The erection of barricades along the pavement in Fleet street and Ludgate-hill, breast high, were also com menced. IRISH APPOINTMENTS._ We are happy to be able to announce that the Irish Government has conferred upon Mr. James Martin, of Ross, the office of auditor of union accounts in the Poor Law Board. We feel assured that this appointment will meet the full sanction of the Irish public, and that even political opponents will admit that the selection of a gentleman of Mr. Martin's character and abilities for this office, is calculated to reflect credit upon the Government of the Earl of Eglinton.—Morning Herald. SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margaret-street H gerstone, relative to the death of Jane Hawkins, aged 20, a single female , whose bo d y was found on Friday morning in the Regent's canal, near Acton lock, with severe marks of violence on it. Sophia Caster, d e _ ceased's aunt, No. 11, Seabright-street, Hackney-road, said that her niece called upon her on the evening of the first of November last, about six o'clock. She seemed rather excited, when witness asked her if there was any circumstance which troubled her. She made no reply, but wept. Some months ago, she lost the com pany of a young man for whom she had formed a strong attachment. Verdict—That the deceased was found dead, with marks of violence on her person. ARRIVAL OF THE SCREW-SHIP VULCAN AT THE CAPE.— Her Majesty's screw t roo p- s hip Vulcan, Commander Von Donop, with the 40th Regiment, from Cork, for Australia, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope , .

The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady, but dull at previous rates. The sales comprised 80 Pernam and Maranham at 6id. to 70. ; 10 Bahia, at 6id. ; 100 Egytian, at lid. ; 400 Surat, at 3td. to 4i - d. ; and the remainder American. Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The manufacturing house of Hermann Munder, at Bremen, has suspended payment, with liabilities, to to the amount of about 100,000 dols., and assets calculated at 70,000 dols. The merchants of Ham burgh, Bremen, and Elberfeld aro the principal sufferers. The modifications in the new Austrian tariff come into operation in January next ; and at that date will expire the regulation imposing 10 per cent. additional, during the first year of the tariff on tissues, millinery, and clothing, modes, wrought metals, jewellery, and mixed fabrics. The new duty on cotton wool will come into operation at the same time. The following is the answer of Messrs. Devaux to the committee of Turkish bondholders "London, 62, King William-street, Nov. 13, 1852. "H. Guedalla, Esq. "Sir,—We have received yesterday evening your letter dated Brighton, the 12th inst., enclosing copy of a reso lution passed at a meeting purporting to be one of the Turkish Bondholders, on the 11th inst. We have in re ply to state, that we are not yet prepared to offer the required explanation as regards the conduct of the Otto man Government, but we are daily expecting a commu nication from Paris on that subject, on the receipt of which we propose to call a meeting of those interested in the Turkish Loan. As regards ourselves, we have no hesitation in stating to any one interested, and as such state it to you that the Agency for the portion of the loan appropriated to England, was introduced to us by Mr. E. Simons and Messrs. E. Blount and Co., Bankers, of Paris. The contracting price was the same as that at which the loan was issued to the public. The whole of the amount placed at our disposal was issued to the public, except 60,0001., which we retained for ourselves. We do not feel called upon to state how we have thought proper to deal with this amount, although we have no reason for withholding the information, except that we do not con sider that it is an application which ought to be made to us.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " C. DEVAUX and C 0.," The English funds have been flatter, and the causes assigned are political. According to the City quid nunc, the Cabinet will be outvoted on the motion of Mr. Villiers, and the session will then be prorogued, Lord Derby, in the interim seeking to form a coalition Ministry, and meeting Parliament again in February. Supposing this view to be correct, the delay that must arise will necessarily lead to uncertainty and to depression in public securities. Consols have been 100 k to for transfer, and loog to , for account. The new 3 per cents have been 102 to 103. Bank Stock is heavy at 222. The National Debt Commissioners have pur chased 50,0001., supposed to be partly for the Sav ings' Banks. The foreign securities have been duller generally. Peruvian Deferred have been at 62k to I. Mexican Stock is 25# to ft. Spanish Deferred have been at 24k to 25k. The Turkish scrip is at 22 to 3 pre mium. The Swedish loan is at 1 discount. Buenos Ayres bonds are worth 74. Brazilian stock has been at 1001. In railway shares there is very little doing, and prices in some instances are firmer for the English lines. The foreign shares have been at fuller rates. Mines are steady. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. (From the Official List.) Business done. Bank Stock 222 1 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities. ......... 99 A 3 per Cent.

The Pitt, 72, has been brought alongside the dockyard to-day for docking, to be con verted into a coal depot, which will be moored at the Motherbank, a place close to Spithead, and where men of-war ca n s hi p their fuel at any time or tide.

EXAGGERATING NEWS.—In Brighton, on Sunday, the rumours afloat concerning the fatal accident at Chelse were of so exaggerated a kind, that yesterday morning the cheap excursion train, which had been advertised to leave that place at 8.30 for the purpose of conveying visitors to Chelsea Hospital, was obliged to start with between only forty and fifty passengers, not a sixth pa r t of the number which had been expected. An impres sion generally prevails, in consequence , that the number par ts of the country of spectators from all will be very considerably diminished from what it would otherwise have been. The o mnibus proprietors on the Chelsea route, however, see m likely to reap a very conside ra bl e harvest, as they have universally doubled th e i r f ares , and are conveying to Chelsea every hour a large i d . from the naetroporm and th e Parts OW of LOndOe• 1051 59 4 i Si 9 8 17j 121 g 58 741 5 4 54 26 5 83 48i 120 A Ri 3 i 85? i 86i 7i 6i 4 107 3i 1.24 16 1 i 13i 96i 5i 6 6 78i i 8 771 8 7k k .0114 1271 7i 113 12, 1101 i 2 1102 i 57A 20 17 20 20 20 20 20 334 10 20 30 20 1 40 in 10 fa 8
