We would not undervalue the services of her MAJESTY'S Privy Council, not even of the eighteen new Councillors from the " unworked diggings" of Lord DERBY, recently added to the list. These latter will doubtless bring some virgin gold to her MA JESTY'S intellectual treasury, and if there should be much dross or matrix mixed with the precious metal, assuredly in these days the art of refining is pretty , well understood. We think, however, that her MA JESTY'S Public Council, is become of quite equal value, probably in the eyes of Monarchy itself, certainly in those of the public and of her MAJESTY'S Cabinet, with her Privy Council. It is etiquette indeed for the Solons composing a Government of the day, and the ex-Solons who lately composed one, to seem not to knew the discussions going on in the daily and better weekly papers. It would not be quite the thing for my Lord JOIIM RUSSELL, or my Lord DERBY to answer in form a leader in the Times or the Morning Pest, much less to avow that such unauthorised ad vice had effected a Cabinet decision. But such argu ments are taken up and replied to, not only by the Hon. Member for -, when refuting th e H on. Member for ; but even by th e " Noble Duke on the right" answering the " Noble Lord on his left." Some dozen of her MAJESTY'S public council (although their names appeared not in the Court Ciroular) did, moreover, assuredly accompany Royalty to Balmoral itself, and aided greatly both the PRE MIER and hi s R o yal Mistress in their deliberations. How perplexed would both have been without their accustomed public advisers! As to the sage of Hughenden Manor, we are per- ' fectly sure that he watches with anxious interest all the leaders and letters which have lately occupied public attention on the income-tax. Amply supplied with information from the best "official sourcesi and competent himself to no mean difficulty, he yet finds is the papers of the day contributions by writers suite his equals on this subject; he finds facts and thoughte, which his, best o ffi c i a l s i gnore or overlook, stated, developed, and argued on with power. He is av „, a ra, too, that this is all do ne b y h er MAJESTY ' S publis council. Its sittings are open to all concerned. If he knows not what is debated and decided in this o pen Cabinet, the public does, and a hundred lU.p.,s w ill soon inform him. What, indeed, can any reasonable statesman do, unless thoroughly acquainted with the Ti mes ? Di d not the great Duke even make his greatest p o liti ca l blunder through refusing to read aright the Times in which he lived ? Without the Daily News how could he hope to conduct the daily business of the empire ? Even Locd PALMERSTON S official information was generally a day at least too late ; and the latter, when it did arrive, found the answers all out and dried for transmission. Without a Morn* Chronicle and Advertiser, the routine of Downing-street must infallibly rock its i nmates in too protracted a slumber. The value of a Standard is unquestioned amongst men of such tender moral susceptibilities as politicians in office. What dese crations of antique, and almost forgotten, principles might they not be guilty of without a friendly moni tor to remind them of the sacredness of Vested Wrongs I Drawing nearer to ourselves, no one will dog that a foreign Secretary ought to be well ac- quainted with the whole Globe. What a figure has even the veteran WEBSTER just cut, through his ig norance of Peruvian Islands ; and we can assure Lord MALMESBURY that a great many Englishmen think ho has much more; need to shu himself up to study in his department, than has Mr. BENJAMIN DISBAELI. The last rays of the Great Luminary, we are confident, cannot be too much prized. A climate where, however cloudy and dubious the morning, the Evening Sun is always seen, enjoys at least the most pleasing soothing light of nature ; and every statesman knows that almost from time immemorial The Sun has, with his evening rays, expressed for him intelligence for which he must otherwise have waited the long night through. But a word about the light shed on everything by The Sun, must be quite superfluous. Adverting to our weekly coadjutors, too, it may well be feared that without a Spectator some more deeds of special darkness might escape publicity ; without an Econo mist we are quite sure they would get into far worse scrapes with Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT, and irritate Mr. Humz perhaps almost fatally : and with out an Examiner, not only our statesmen, but our judges of all sorts, our courts of justice, and even our juries, would often be far more right in their own eyes, and wrong in those cf the public, than they now are. We of the Press have indeed been denominated the Fourth Estate, and certainly no measure which an un • questioned majority of our body has passed, has failed ultimately to pass also the other three estates of the realm; neither has any measure on which we have put our veto, been able to escape a veto of the third estate, whatever favour it may have had with the other two. But probably the lesson bequeathed us by the great man who has just left us, has disposed us to look upon ourselves in a more courtly light. We wish to remember that we are in her MAJESTY'S service. We think her MAJESTY will own, that for loyalty to her person, and for fidelity in giving advice, open at the same time to herself, her Ministries, her Lords and faithful Commons, and all her subjects too, she has not a better servant in the realm than her Ma jesty's public council. Sometimes, indeed, when she is supposed to be out of hearing, we quarrel rather ly among ourselves (not more so, however, than the literati did in learned Latin half a century ago); and sometimes we lash pretty severely some of her MAJESTY'S paid servants ; she may be assured, how ever, that this is done purely for her own sake. She would otherwise find them utterly unmanageable. Her MAJESTY may have thought that, because so many Ministries of late have taken office, as they have avowed in the Houses of Parliament, out of genuine pity for her MAJESTY'S forlorn condition, when all her servants have been seized with a resig ❑ation fit—because one Ministry pitied her in a petticoat quarrel, and u'iother in a militia fix, and the like—that they cherish for hers special reverence and kindness. We beg to assure her that, however loyal and generous the sell-denying accepters of her offices and her thousands a year, may be, we, who would at her public command be happy to render her any service gratuitously, we who do labour to perform her such invaluable service, requited only by our mens conscia recti,— we are not only her cheapest, but her most service able servants. We make their service) if that be possible) worth the money; and we beg to make one bumble request to her M AJESTY, to ask one acknow ledgment of our services, that on the only occasion on which she addresses her subjects—when rank and nobility, male and female fashion and elegance are crowding around her, when her Lords and faithful Commons are on tiptoe to catch a sight of the something which has been so long looming in the future—that she would then, solemnly :rom the throne, with the voice which interests 30 millions of her subjects, declare her obligations, and the obligations of all her servants, to her MAJESTY'S public council. A specimen of one of its most important services is now before our eyes. Letters and articles on the income-tax. Mr. BABBAGE and the economists, en deavour to bewilder Mr. Ifuein and the actuaries. rax each kind of income alike, says Mr. BABBAGE. tax them according to their varied values, say the actuaries. Tax 1001. a year over the counter, and 1001. a year from land alike, says Mr. B. Capitalize them, say the actuaries, and the one pound will sell for 20 years purchase, or 2,0001, the other at most for not more than six or seven, that is, at most 700/. Ought the two to pay alike ? Yes, says Mr. 8., the shopkeeper's 1001., lasts, say, ten years, and pays ten taxes. The landowner's lasts an endless number of years, and pays perpetually. To this it is answered, there is an evident fallacy somewhere. You may compel the one man to pay the same annual tax as the other, but no sophistry can convince him that it is just for him to do it. The landowner in wardly boasts while he says it's all fair; the shop keeper is inwardly sure of being wronged, though a senior wrangler may silence him, and a House of landlords make him pay. But in our public council all parties are pitted fairly against each other, and an actuary shows conclusively (see his letter in The Sun of Saturday) that one fallacy at least is this—reckoning the two incomes, as if they were both entirely incomes. Whereas the 1001. a year from land, or Consols, is purely income, leaving the capital quite untouched ; while the income from any temporary source is com posed of income and capital too, inasmuch as it con sumes the capital itself in a certain ratio every year— consumes it so completely that the capital vanishes when the income ceases to the individual. We will not enlarge, but leave Mr. DISEAELI, and each tax payer under schedules D and E to ponder this valu able suggestion. To us it seems pretty clear that where the actuaries, men whose business lies, and whose lives are spent in, the study of the values of every kind of income, are unanimous on a question like this, no honest legislators could hesitate to prefer their guidance to that of theoretical mathematicians, economists, none of the latter, more over, agreeing among themselves. Nay, it were even conceivable that both may prove to be right. The mathematician may determine almost mechanically by his formula the work which a steam-engine and its machinery will do, but we should take final counsel with the head mechanic in the factory when one en gine was to be made. lie could tell us what it would do, allowing for friction and other things, of which the theorist has but vague conceptions. And possibly the BABBAGES may be mathematically right, but practically and socially wrong. The market value, the thing known to the actuary, is without question the only test of value for actual life. " A thing is worth what it will sell for." If not taxed according to what it will sell for, it is, therefore, not taxed ac cording to its worth. Another circumstance, too, is pretty much over looked. We mean the increased trouble given to the State by incomes from land and most fixed sources. Nothing is more exposed than land and its produce —nothing more the creature of law than the public funds ; and if trade and business are dependent upon public order, so is the cultivation of land. If the tradesman's person needs the protection of the State, so does that of the landlord; but that which is a lready become property is open to th e di rec t attac k s of every kind of fraud or violence. Not only does the man who derives his income from realized property enjoy a more valuable income, he also en joys one which needs more protection from the State. He who has a hundred a year, and two thousand pounds whenever he likes to sell it, ought to pay more than he who has a hundred a year, with 5001., if he sells it now, and nothing to sell at all in five years hence. The former also ought to pay more, because he males annually more work for the State, in insuring his property against fraud and violence. Bethlehem Hospital (or rather its governors, trea surer, matron, and medical officer), is now upon its trial. Fifteen months ago, on complaints made be fore them, as to mismanagement of that lunatic asy lum, the metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy com menced an investigation, which has been reported at length in some of the public journals, has ex cited much indignant comment, and has indis putably proved that th e greatest abuses h ave been allowed, by thos e vrho were paid to prevent it, to exist in the management of the unhappy people confined and coerced there. The health and the feelings f . ,f the unfortunates in Bethlehem appear to have been much uncared for. In the heart of this metropolis what ought to have b een a THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1852, public blessinghas been converted into a public nuisance. The treatment of the lunatics has been a hundred times worse, in its systematic cruelty, than that of the worst criminals. In short, whathas transpired makes us blush for humanity, makes us lament that, in the middle of the nineteenth century, lunat:cs should be treated as badly as they were when the philanthropy of HOWARD gave the first impetus to the amelioration of the disci pline in prisons and lunatic asylums. It is impossible that this state of things can be allowed to continue. It should have been prevented and corrected by those high and mighty personages—literally the master and the mistress of Bethlehem—namely JOHN EDWARD JOHNSTON, treasurer of the United Hospitals of Bridewell and Bethlehem, and HENRIETTA HUNTER, the matron. There is the case of Miss ITANNen HYSON. She was admitted as a patient to Bethlehem. Her medical attendant had been seeing her for three weeks before. She was thin, but not greatly ems- ciated ; her body was free from wounds, her bodily health had been "of average goodness" for two years before, and her disease was hysterical mania. She was temporarily lunatic" when he signed the usua paper for ber admission, and had refused her food for two or three days before she left home. She en tered Bethlehem on April 4, 1851, and Mr. CHARLES TAYLOR (her medical attendant) saw her again after she had come out, at the end of a fortnight's con- finement. " She struck him as being very much altered in appear ance, and very emaciated ; she was very much thinner than when she went in, and her bones were almost projecting through her skin.' Her mind was much less wandering ; but her countenance was very anxious and dejected, and she looked miserable altogether. She had no paralysis, but squinted a little, which was not the case before she went in. She was labouring under diarrhoea. He did not examine her person, and could not say whether there were any wounds. He saw her face, but forgets whether he noticed the marks that evening or not. Believes it was that evening or the next morning her mother said, 'Oh Mr. Taylor, my girl has been terribly ill-treated, and I wish you to look at her,' and he then particularly examined her body all over, and had a written account of it somewhere. There was, to the best of his memory, a piece' or mark on the upper lip, and one on her cheek also. The wit ness then, in answer to a variety of questions, detailed the various marks and wounds upon the patient's body, on the ankles, knees, hips, elbows, &c. She died on the morning of the 22d, four days after leavieg the hospital, and we' examined the body. By we' he meant Dr. Wood, the resident apothecary of the hospital, his part ner, Mr. Crisp, and himseif. The immediate cause of her sinking was diarrhces and want of food. She did not refuse her food after she come out. Witness said to her,' Hannah, now you must take what I tell you;' she said she would, and she did. When he said she died from want of food, ho meant the combined effects of taking very little nourishment with constant diarrt cee completely exhausted her. She was labouring under diarrheea when she cline out, and died of that and exhaustion. He particularly noticed that she had no paralysis. When he and his partner were about to commence the post mortem exeminat ion the morning after her death, Dr. Wocd came in. The body was very emaciated, and th-:re were the wounds already described, but he really could not say what they ores° from. The places' on her ankles caused him to suspect whether they had not been bound. He thought she had been bound. It appeared to him as if these bad been some fetter or bandage, or ligature, but others might give a different opinion. The other wounds could not have been from ligatures—they must have been caused by some violence or extereal applications. He did not sup nose they had been caused by picking or scratching. Hi s impression was that she lied been ill-treated, but ho could not say in what way the wounds had been pro dueed. It might have been by tumbling about, or by being struck or bruised in some way. She might have been rubbed on the fl mr, but he wss decidedly of opinion that they were not self-ialicted or body sores." Further, "he was now ready to admit, after all that he had heard and all that had passed, that bliss HyseN had been harshly used in the hospital. The night before she died he went to the hospital to try to see Dr. WOOD, to obtain more information about the wounds and marks on her person. Dr. Woo]) was not within, and he saw the matron, who told him that she believed it was from the cut ends of the straw, but she had not heard of them before. She said she had been told of them since, but was not aware of them previously. She was not aware when Miss HYSoN left the hospital that she had any wounds upon her person." Of course not. It will presently appear how little trouble Mrs. HUNTER (the matron) gave herself about the patients. There was the case of Miss WHETTINGLIAM, a delicate girl, who " had no marks or bruises on her hody when she went in," on January 9, 1851. After her admission her mother and some of her friends went to see her, and it was two months before this was allowed, and then " she appeared to be in great distress, and cried bitterly. The mother entreated her not to do so, and she said, I cannot help it; I cry all night.' She said Look at my fingers' (one of them was very much swollen); and when witness in quired the cause she said it was one of the nurses, and she also showed her bruises all down the side ; but wit ness had not the opportunity of seeing any more. When asked why she did not complain to Dr. WooD, the poor creature said it is of no use complaining to Dr. WooD. While they were talking Dr. WOOD happened to come up, and the mother showed the bruised hand and the marks on her side, and he showed the swelled hand to one of the nurses, and asked, ' How is this ?' The nurse said, Oh, that is an old affair.' The joint of the finger was very much swollen. The name of the nurse was ELIZABETH. Her daughter told her that it was not that nurse who had given her the bruises, but that ELIZABETH used to beat her with the keys. The bruises were not caused by her tumbling about, but she at one time had the misfortune to fall and hurt her hip, and the least push or blow given her by the nurses would throw her down. Her daughter slept for three months in the basement story—she said she never slept on anything but the bare straw, and no night clothes whatever. Witness had no opportunity of examining her bed and bedding, as she was not admitted into the place where her daughter slept. Every time the poor girl saw her mother she complained of ill-treatment, and the mother and friends unfortunately thought it was one of her delusions. On the second visit she com plained that, being awake all night, she overslept her self, and the nurse came and dragged her by the hair of her head to make her get up, and shook her so violently that it brought on a violent fit of coughing. On an other occasion her face appeared very much swollen with constantly crying. The patient was discharged cured on the 7th of June. Before she left she said she would certainly make a complaint when she went before the committee, but Mrs. HUNTER begged she would not, as ELIZABETH, the nurse, had a mother to keep, and the poor girl, being a feeling young per son, agreed not to make the complaint. The matron stood beside the patient when she went before the committee, so that she could not say anything. She had since gone to her relatives in Somersetahire, in the hope that change of air might further benefit her. Among other things which she told her mother after she left the hospital was that on one occasion she was going to take a bath—whether she did not do it pro perly or not could not be ascertained, but no less than three of the nurses forced her in again, and ill-treated her very much, and she begged never to be put in a bath again. She also complained of their calling her most shocking names, and of very bad language being used towards her." Miss MORLEY'S case resembled the two others. She came out of Bethlehem covered with sores and abrasions, the consequence of neglect, and was three weeks before she recovered from these injuries. Dr. NESBITT, in his letter to the Commissioners, said the sores and abrasions were evidently the consequences of neglect—that the patient uniformly complained of the treatment to which she was subjected in Beth on, and there was no attempt to interpose lehem Hospital—that she had nothing but strawya an kind lie v a e u : to cover v r t o h f ur p t ro h te e o r t m ion uc b h e , t a u n T denskh she had body no and:t clothes he s t e r her. She described her whole treatment to be harsh and coarse, and the recollection of it to inspire her with horror—that the nurses were in the habit of giving her nicknames derived either from the colour of her skin or from her habits, and that they treated her like a brute. He adds that the patient is remarkable for truthfulness." Some of the evidence went to show that the pa tients in the basement story (a place of punishment, it would seem,) used to be turned out every morning into a room floored with atone flags, there washed with mops and cold water, and the lunatics' clothes put on them without their bodies being dried after this mopping ! Mr. JOHN EDWARD JOHNSON, treasurer for the last three years (and virtually the manager of Beth lehem Hospital), gave evidence meant to be exculpa tory. He stated that be had assigned to the matron the " moral treatment of the patients, and by this he meant " proper exercise and employment ;"—that he himself went round the hospital about once a fort. night, and always with an attendant ;—that ha went to the basement more frequently than elsewhere;—that, " only so far as the general rules go," he made 720 inquiries as to the bodily condition or comforts of the patients :—that the medi cal examination cf 400 patients occupied about one hour (or less theft one minute to every six lunatics), and that the bed-rooms were not visited or examined. But the eviden3e was that of Mrs. HENRIETTA HUNTER, the matron, a lady who really seems better suited for a boudoir in May fair, than so vulgar a place as Bethlehem. She recognises the treasurer as her master—the controlling authority, who visited the hospital once a fortnight. We annex a part of her examination : "Do you keep any notes of ;.hat you ie e ?—lf any thing very particular occurs, make a memorandum. " You would not r&port it to anybody?—lt is not part of my duty. I have never been directed so to do. " If you remove a patient from the upper story to the basement, to whcm do you report it?-1 do not report it. The physicians and the resident medical man would soon find out that the patient had been removed, and if they thought it wrong, they would alter it. You do not report it then—do you enter it in any book?—I have a book in which I make entries from day to day, and if I were to put a patient in a different ward, I should erase the name from No. 1 or No. 3, or from the basement, as the cc , e might be. It is a book where I put down the names of the patients. Ido not say it is my duty to do so, but in it I record it, if a patient is removed from No. 2 or No. 3, or any other ward. " Who is that book seen by ?—No one. I keep it for my own satisfaction. I have never been directed to keep a book of the kind, but I do it. " The patients sometimes refuse to take their food; how are they treated who so refuse?—Why, the nurse. and if one is not sufficient, two will feed the patient. I have often gone myself, and I know Dr. Wood has often gone to see a patient of this kind fed. It has occurred that the stomach-rump has been used in extreme cases. . . . . " Do you know whether the medicines prescribed for the patients are daly administered?—No, I do not. "Do you trust to the nurses?—They are directed to be administered by the medical man, who gives the medicines to the nurses with directions. _ _ " But yeti have no means of knowing that the nurses fulfil their duty in this particular?--No; my only se curity is having for the head nurse a woman who has been there some years, and in whom wo have confidence. " Are you aware that any of the female patients in the basement sleep entirely naked on loose straw, with out anything Ling interposed Letween the straw and their bodies?—No, I never saw that. I will not say I never saw it, Lcause I did when I first came there. " How many years ego?—Elevc.:n, sad then I made an applicatien for troughs to eneose the straw. " It is only recently that the straw has been placed into covers?—lt is only I. recent thing on the basement. " Formerly they used to be put into the straw without any cover?—Yes, with a blanket put upon them. " Do you mean a blanket placed between the body of the patient and the straw ?—No, not with regard to the patient herself, but the bedding. The patient was pre sumed to have some sort of clothing or covering about her, such as her flannel, or her shift. " end a blanket over her?—Y , s. " She was placed on She straw?—The blanket first on the straw, and then the patien`. " And then a blanket over the pstient?—Yes." We need not go on. There is no use in proceed ing with the disgusting details of this Mrs. HUNTER, whose humanity appears developed and exhausted iu tho crowning effort of her matronship, that eleven years ago she applied for troughs to confine the straw in which the basement patients sleep ! A farmer's lad would have done as much fur his master's pigs ! Of course, the matter is not to rest here. The treasurer and the matron are e:oinently entitled to be relieved from the further management of Bethlehem. The whole system there must be changed. It is too bad for human cruelty and carelessness to make miserable those whom it has pleased Gov to afflict with the loss of reason. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. LIVEEPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING• The American mail steam-ship Pacific has ju3t arrived here, direct from New York. She brings aivices to the 3d inst., 106 passengers, and 420,000 delis. in specie on freight. Just before the departure of the Pacific, a tele graphic communication had reached New York from New Orleans, stating that advices from Cali fornia to Sept. 1, Kith two millions of dollars, were on the way to New York. We do not learn, how ever, that she conveyed any political news of im portance. From Havannah iater dates Lad arrived at New York, which reported the arrest and conviction of several persons conn , cted with the paper called the co r v e e n r c Voice of the People, five of whom were to be exe cuted, and the remainder to be sent to Ceuta for eight years. Itas reported to the that Cuban the French in case e that in intimat ed nnvasicn of Cuba was att emp t e d by th e American people, the 7 might calculate upon the aid of France to repel the invaders. COMMERCIAL NEWS. The papers and letters by this a rrival report busi ness very brisk in all the marts of commerce through out the Union. Money was more sc arce, and slightly higher rates demanded, In the Stock Market the demand was moderate, and in price there was not a n y chan ge. Cotton—ln cotton there w as b ut little doing.

A Privy Council will be held at Windsor on Monday next, the 18th. SIR E. BELCHER'S SEARC H FOR SIR JOHN FLANxuw.—We have heard that intelligence has been re ceived from the squadron commanded by Sir E. Belcher, and led by him up the Wellington Channel, t) the effect that, from what they have discovered floating down the Channel —remains of whales, bears, and other animal substances— the party have been led to the conclusion that not only is there food for mankind in that direction, but that the float ing portions of whales and bears form the relics of what have been actually consumed by human beings. Sir E. Belcher has by this time most prJba l 9 l 3. - explored the reg i ons pronounced to be accessible by Capt;:in Penny, but injudi ciously abandoned, and hf 9 thus confirm-1 the truth of Penny's testimony. It is fer , lul t.) contemplate the conse quences of a year's delay in following the track presumed to have been taken by Franklin, as of crurse hopes of effectual succour must be diminished by the year's postponement of that search which Penny so warmly suggested on the spot, and which he so nobly volunteered to undertake on his return to England last autumn.—Herald. NEW OMNIBUSES.—Some little curiosity was ex cited in the principal thoroughfares yesterday, by the pa rading of several very elegant vehicles marked as " The Pattern Omnibuses of the Grand Junction Omnibus Com pany." They were taken to Scotland-yard, and the Guild hall, where they were inspected by Laveral aldermen and gen. tlemen, and also by Mr. Yardley, on the part of the Com missioners of Police. The public accommodation has been consulted in the new omnibus. The inside passenger can enter without stooping, and go without jostling, there being a handrail at each side overhead. The seats are broader and longer than general, the width being gained by a closer approach of the sides to the wheels, effected by an ingenious modification of the springs. The outside passenger can as cend easily by a side-step ladder, the hei g htenin g of the roof accommodates the outside passenger also by elevating his seat. The appec-ance of the vehicle is exceeding light and elegant, and though carrying less than an ordinary omnibus by two cwt., it is actually stronger and 304 cheaper in cost. There is a bell outside by which the conductor signals to stop, and one inside by which the passenger ac quaints the conductor of his wish toget: out. A patent break, also under the control of the coachman himself, afforda the means of stopping the vehicle instantaneously. The plan to be adopted byr a this new company in regard to fares is that of a penny a mile throughout ; and they are to have stations and waiting-rooms for their customers, adding also to the usual business of carrying passengers, the conveyance and delivery of parcels to every part of London. HOW THEY PUNISH TREASON IN PERSIA.--We mentioned a few days since the attempt against the Shah of Persia. We now learn that Hajee Suleiman Khan, accused as the instigator of the crime, was seized, his body carefully drilled with a knife in parts which would not at the moment cause death; pieces of lighted candles were then introduced into the holes, and, thus illuminated, carried in procession through the bazaar, and finally conveyed to the town gates, and there cleft in twain like a fat ram. The Kurret-il-Ain, better known as Bab's Lieutenant, or the Fair Prophetess of Kazoeen, who since the late religious outbreak had been kept a close prisoner at the capital, has been executed with some dozen others. His Majesty received three slug wounds in the shoulders, but all of a very slight nature. DRURY-LANE TitEATF:E.—We are requested to state that the obloquy which has attached to the committee of Drury.lane Theatre, on the ground that it hired the theatre to persons who were incompetent to keep it open for a week, is not founded on fact. The lease of the theatre for the half .year commencing in June is not in the hands of the committee, but in those of the manager of Covent-Garden Theatre. WRITS Cr EXECUTION.—An important alterttion is mace by the Common Law Procedure Act with respect to writs of execution. They are not to remain in force for more than one year, unless revived.

The sales of Cotton at Livsrpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly, with a hardening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 1,270 Pernam and Maranham, at Gid. to 7i1., 200 Bahia at bid. to 60. 400 Egyptian at 6-gd. to ls. 6d., 1,000 Surat at 3 d. to 511., and 40 Sea Island at ls. 10d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were steady. The Indigo auctions have been going off rather quietly. Good and fine marks, however, have sold well at previous rates, but the middling, when unsupported, has been esoier. The steamer Pacific has arrived with accounts from the United States of one or two class' later date. Bu siness generally continued brisk, but cotton and bread stuffs were rather quiet. The amount of specie on board is 420,000 dollars, but of this a good deal is for the continent. Foreign bills of exchange were scarcely so high yes terday. Paper dated 90 days brought 25.45 to 50 on Paris, 12 to 12.0 k on Amsterdam, 13.8 to 8i on Ham qurgh, and 11.48 to 52 on Trieste. Silver is still in demand. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 11th inst. there was not much done in Dutch Bonds. Spanish found numerous buyers at batter prices. Portuguese were in rather more demand. Russian and Austrian Bonds were much the same. The Banking Institute has re-commenced its sessional soirees, and last evening Mr. Francis, of the Bank of England, gave an interesting lecture upon the advan tages of " Commercial Crises," which elicited many in structive comments. Alderman Challis most efficiently presided, and Mr. Gilbert aad other gentlemen of in fluence were present. The Stock Market, although scarcely so buoyant as yesterday, continues good upon the whole, and the pay ment of the dividends will probably have a sup porting influence, although foreign affairs will be rather anxiously watched, and the abstraction of bullion for foreign loans and railway undertakings will be a counter-attraction to our steady-going Throe per Cents. The official notice from the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt has been issued and the purchases of stock will no doubt be periodical, as usual. Consols have been 1001 to 1, and are now 1001 for Transfer. Fur November 11 the quotations are 1001 8. The rats of " continuation" has slightly increased, this being tho settling day.

Peruvian Bonds have been 1018 t 3 103 ex-dividend, and Chilian 105, leaving a slight improvement for the latter. Mexican are nominally 248 to 8. The Account is working in the Share-market, and Railways are not quite so good. Upon the old lines the "continuation" is about Ito per °en*. for the fort night.

MARKET ieEll'S..--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English Wheat. The attendance of millers was limited, yet the demand ruled steady, and a total ele:irance was effected, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. For forward delivery a fair amount of bus.iness was doing. This week's imports of foreign Vti,leat are 14,270 quarters, chiefly from the westward. Good and dry parcels moved off freely, at very full pri aes. In other kinds comparatively little was doing. We. had a steady but by no means brisk inquiry for float ing cargoes. The sale for Barley was firm, and selected ma';:,ting parcels were the turn higher. Malt was quite as dear as last week. Oats sold trcely, but no actual improvement was noticed in the quotations. Beans, Peels, and Flour were very steady. AREIVAS THU; WEEK. Whee.t. Barley. Malt. Oats. I Flour. Qrs, Qrs. English •• •• • • 3,660 3,110 5,510 Irish •• •• •• •• QrB.

(Before Mr. RYLAND.) TIIORNINGTON V. ➢f'CARTIIY. Tbl. 7 s was an action brought to recover the sum of 5/. 45., for the hire of a barge. Mr•.. Duncan appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. aeard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall• street, for the defendant. Tf . e. case was of a rather peculiar nature, depending almost on circumstantial evidence. By the evidence of one witness, the barge had been hired on defendant's account, but after the lapse of severe 1 days, it was found made fast off the East India Dock ti, and the oars locked in. Tho plaintiff's servants seized the boat, and held possession. DE,:veridant denied all knowledge of the hiring which was u -tide in his name; and although it might have been ;moored off his premises, he knew nothing atiout it. The, Learned JUDGE said eleven days had elapsed from the time of the hiring to the time of discovery of the barge; any one might have used it in the interim• The .s , Fidence was, therefore, too slight to justify a judg' meat :for the plaintiff. Ple,i ntiff was, therefore, nonsuited. 27 to 27% 6 -6% 10%-10% 7 6 dis. 20% 21% 3% 3 dis. 100 --102 47 1 ,4 —4B x.d 20% 21 14 1 ,E 151,4 7 6 dis., 7 - 8 3 - 3q 11% - lli,i; 8% -9% ... ••• s%a 6% 18A 18% 57 -59 73 -75 24% - 25% 783 i - 79% 41 -43 116 —l l B 47% 48% 95 3 % 96% 82 —B4 10 —ll p 84 84% 3 3 / 4 3 % 3 21/% dia. 18 18% 8% -8% 1% - 2 p 1034, - 104% 119 - 119% 2% -3%, p 1 % -1% p 89 -90 ...- 6 5 dis. 5 4 dig. 16 3 / 1 17% 30i4-31;4 — 2 3 A 76%-77i 42 —44 47 z z 31,4 2 %di& 1% —2% 43 —45 ... b 2 —32% 7 —6% dis. ••• - •• 2% -• 2% g 2 %' dis.

COlll'o, COMO. Ballad by Alexander Lee; the Pot try by F. Enoch. FAIR MAGGIORE, also by Alexander Lee and F. Enoch. A boon, indeed, from the laud of song and of poetr y may these twin and most charming ballads be considered. The airs are fresh and teeming with' such s uavity to the ear of every listener as the lands of vvh. 4 ch they tell teem to the eyes of every beholder. There, is a "linked sweetness," too, in each accompani ment that gives th em a mer i t qu i te their own, an; adds very materially to the beauty of both words and air. The frontispieces to these graceful songs are not only Effective but artistic. It is seldom we see grouped together in so small a compass, as the pag e° of eil:her one of these ballads, the happy rendezvous of vvliiit may really by termed " poetry, painting, and music..,, THEY SAID MY LOVE WOULD CHANGE WITH TIME. Written by F. E noc h ; compose', by Stephen Glover. The symphony o' this song, which commence! andante con expressions, is peculiarly pathetic an d origimal, and introduces most appropriately the plain" tive air to which it is attached. The refrain of the verses. is exceedingly melodious, and we may truly say the musician speaks as well as the poet. THEATRE ROYAL PLYMOUTH.
