Notwithstanding that the arrivals of English Wheat up to our Market, this week, coastwise and by land car riage, have been on a limited scale, and that the show of samples here to-day was small, the &emend for all kinds ruled inactive. In prices, however, no change took place. For forward delivery, very little was doing, yet the growers were firm in their demands. The show of foreign Wheat was tolerably good. Really fine parcels were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monday. Low and damp qualities met a dull inquiry. A fair average business was doing in floating cargoes, chiefly for Ireland. We were very scantily supplied with Barley, all kinds of which moved off readily, at the extreme rates of Monday, Milt steady, and held at very full prices. The show of Oats was limi:ed: hence, fine parcels Were the turn hi g h er . .131,ans, Peas, and Flour were firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. B Arley . Malt. Oats. Flour rhfilish Irish Qrs. Qrs.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) 4 RAILWAY THROUGH THE ISLE or WIGHT.—By en advertisement in a London paper, we are brought to the knowledge that a railway is contemplated, proposed, ,Z s uggested, f or t h e I s l e o f Wi g h t, b ut not one person i n ii)is town or ne i g hb our h ood knows anyth i ng furt h er. e tkaps this is thought to b. quite as much as we ought t o k now —that w e h ave no t any i nteres t s or f ee li ngs t o e consulted ; or the advertisement may be only a feeler, Or may be put out only to annoy our old friend" Punch," Who does not approve of our beautiful littleisland's being made a cross bnn of. It is said that it i ts to ,commence tnnewuere in or near Cowes, and that it is to run by 41 ewport (what a benefit it will be to the traders in our 'Pita' to see thousands of pleasure- seekers steamed by them to the undercliff, without the annoyance of having a Call from any of them!)—to Niton, and that there is t o be a br anc h to R y d er—that is, if the ' cuttings through the hills are not found too expensive in that direction. On the Cowes line the land by the Medina is almost a dead level ; but we fear that there is, even on this line, not enough of traffic to pay. Certain it is that no interest is taken in the matter hero by anybody; no one Seetns anxious either to promote or oppose the project, for has even any stranger presented himself to advocate the cause or explain the nature of the undertaking. THE FLOATING BRIDGE PROD' EAST TO WEST COWES. —This undertaking has assumed a more tangible shape; traffic-takers are employed, and they report the number of persons that pass by the ferry -boat to exceed 1,400 per day. A bridge has been always considered desirable ; Whether a floating one will prove the best, time alone can tell. chapel of NEW C H APEL OF EASE AT ETON.—Yesterd ay the fo un d at i on - s t one of a new laid by his Royal Highness ease, to be er ected in the Hi g h• s t ree t o f Eaton, was the Prince Concert.

Several columns of the Illoniteur are filled with addresses to the Prince President, thanking him for the important cervices that he has rendered to the country, and expressing a desire for the re-establish ment of the Empire. An address is in course of signature at Mantes praying the Pope that he will yield to the wishes of the French people and come to France to crown Louis Napoleon Emperor of the French, and thus sanction by religion a power which has arisen from the unani mous acclamation of France. The Constitutionnel fills a large portion of its front psge with remarks on the order given by the British Government for measures of precaution in its ports against the landing of pasiengers, or cargo, of vessels arriving from ports infected by cholera. In the course of its remarks, the Constitutionntl takes oc • casion to express its approbation of the conduct of the French Government in promoting the Sanitary Congress, although it had of all coun - tries the least interest in the question. Four columns of the Siecle are filled with an article on the production and commerce in wines. The greater part of the article consists of statistical details, which have an interest only for a particular class of readers, but there are some points which are rather striking. Alluding to the exports of French wines to England the Siecle observes that since the equali• sation of the duties in that country, and consequently the large reduction that ensued in these on French wines, the sale of the latter in England has diminished instead of increasing. This is attributed, by the Sitl,cle, partly to the adulterations of French wines, by which their reputation has been injured, and partly to the fact that the equalisation of the duties has fa voured the introduction of the wines of other countries. The Sack thinks that if the two countries could come to some arrangement for the modification of the tariff by mutual concessions, so as to effect a considerable reduction in the price of French wines in England, the exports from this country would increase enormously, for there would not be the same inducement for adulteration, and wines, which are scarcely exported at all now, in consequence of the very high rate of duties, would have a large consumption in England, as they are of a nature to suit the English taste. In another part of the article the SiLle alludes to the injurious effect of the commercial differences between France and Bel gium on the trade in wines. It shows the gradual but rapid increase of the exports to Belgium of late years, and expresses a hope that matters will be soon arranged, so as to restore to France this important market. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the railway company from Mulhausen to Thann has been held in Lemardelay's great room, rue Richelieu. The company has constituted itself from its state of en cominandite to that of societe anonyme. The ac counts presented in the name of M. Nicolas Koechlin, deceased, were unanimously approved of, and the di rectors were authorised to act as might appear to be best to obtain the extension of the line across the department of the Vosges to Nancy and Toul. This matter is more particularly confided to M. Mathieu Dollfus, M. Javal, and M. Benoit-Laroche. The Count Pea de Villamarina, the new Sardinian Minister to the French Republic, has arrived in Paris. The Marquis d'Azeglio, Sardinian Minister in Lon don, has also arrived in Paris, on his way to London; from Turin, where he bas been en tongs. The Prince President, before leaving Tours, gave 20,000 fr. to the General Hospital at Tours. In addition to which he gave different sums to the old soldiers of the empire; 500 fr. to the Sisters of Charity, for the establishment of a Creche ; 300 fr. to the Dames de la Halle; 200 fr. to the young work women who presented him with a bouquet; and 200 fr. to the workmen who presented him with a magnificent silk bell-rope. On passing through Amboise, he gave 500 fr. to the old soldiers of the republic and of the empire. The Bourse was firm at the prices of yesterday. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 106 f. 45c., and closed at 106 f. 65c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents. closed at 81f. 40c. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,522 f. 50e. ; Rouen, 915 f. ; Havre, 425 f.; Great Northern, 782 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 570 f.; Basle, 340 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 780 t. ; Paris and Lyons, 972 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 750 f. ; Western of France, 710 f. ; St. Dizier to Gray, 550 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 630 f.

At the Cabinet Council held on the previous evening, the question of suppressing the Gcvernm ,, ut monopoly of tobacco and salt was started. The Minister of Finance warmly advocated the measure, but no deci sion was come to. Geaeral Mazarredo, who had been sent to Bor deaux by the Spanish Government to compliment the Prince President, has returned to Vittoria, and re• sumed the command of the Basque provinces. The Clamor Publico states, from Lisbon, that a dictatorial decree had been published, ordering the tobacco manufactory to deposit in the Treasury the sum which the Bank had refused to advance, contrary to the provisions of the decree of August 30. The reports of a coalition between the Ministry and the Septembrista party bad acquired some consistence, although the organ of the latter declared itself against such a measure. The Three per Cents. were done at 48 ; the New Three per Cents. at 26 11-16 ; the Debt of the First Class at 12 5-1 G; and that of the Second at G. ITALY. p'r3 that it bad always retained its sympathies for the royal family, and was the first to declare in favour of the RetatoratiJn. If ever a place was well chosen, it was Bordeaux—it was there that Louis Napoleon ought to speak against war and revolution. The protest of Na poleon against war, at a moment when he is chosen by popular enthusiasm, is of immense importance, for it is the anti-warlike protest of France herself. Napoleon could only be at that moment the interpreter of the people —he could only speak the sentiments of the country. In addition, it is seen that the President appreciates fully the profound need of peace felt in our days. The Princejudges the revolution severely in defining it as an ideology. There is not a word in the French language more harsh than that of dreamer. The Prince has also admitted the want of religion so observable in our epoch, which he describes so admirably. Napoleon knows his problem well. We shall see it' he will solve it in like manner. It is possible that Napoleon has become a necessity for Franc-, since he leans for support on the party of order and peace. The ancient dynasty has ceased to live;—it is all over with it." The Austrian .Lloyd of Vienna says : " The telegraphic uispatch was right in calling the speech of the Prince an event. It is, in fact, one which has produced the greatest sensation. This speech is re markable in every way both in form and substance. The question is no longer to know whether the empire will be proclaimed; for it may be said that has been long since done. The Prince has replied with the greatest sang froid, and with the most entire good faith to the cares, and doubts, and the fears which the empiro might inspire for the continuance of the peace of the world," A letter from Florence of the 14th, in the Deihats, sa y s :—" Three objects occupy at this moment the political circles of Tuscany—the now loan, the com mercial league with Austria, and the change of Ministry. The new loan is to be 70,000,000 fr. or 80,000,000 Fr., and is to serve to pay off the loan of 25,000,000 fr. made in 1850, of 10,000,000 fr. made in 1851, and the residue of the loan of 4,000,000 fr. of the ex-Duchy of Lucca; also to pay the old and new debt of 15,000,000 fr. to Austria, and the floating debt of 13,000,000 fr., and, finally, to employ the re mainder in constructing a new port at Leghorn, and draining the marshes of Bicatina between Lucca and Florence. M. Bastoji, hanker at Leghorn, is charged to negotiate the loan, which may produce fortunate results far the country, especially if the government determines at the same time on introducing some reforms in the administration. The commercial league with Austria may be considered as concluded ; but as it is to be feared that it will not make a very good impression on the country, a favourable oppor tunity of carrying it into effect is waited for. The construction of the new port of Leghorn is a consequence of the Austro-Italian league, for it is to be at the same time the military and mercantile port of Austria in the Mediterranean. It is stated, in fact, that amongst the conditions is one that an Aus trian garrison shall al ways remain at Leghorn ; and another, that the Austrians shall be charged to pro tect the coasts from the Sardinian frontier to the Ro man frontier, to prevent smuggling. All opinions agree in considering as inevitable the change of Ministry. The Grand Duke does not appear satisfied with his present ministers, who have often opposed his ideas, especially in the question of the Concordat with Rome. It was not known by whom they are to be replaced." The . Duke of Modena paid a visit to the Pope at the Vatican, on the 11th, in company with Count Esterhazy, Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary to the Holy See. PROVINCIAL EXPLOITS OF A LONDON SHARPER. A young fellow, described as being about 23 to 24 years of age, of low stature, dressed in a suit of blank, over which he wears a grey coloured over-coat, has lately emerged from the metropolis, where it is supposed he has been " schooled," and has been trying his luck in the provinces, a few of whose adventures we will briefly describe. Towards the middle of last month he made his appearance at Maidstone, in Kent, where, after intro ducing himself to several persons, and boasting of his respectable acquaintances in Canterbury, Tunbridge, &c., he hired a pony of Mr. E Goodwin to go to Lenham on business, and to return the same night, but instead of going to Lenham, he proceed e d to Gillingham, quite another direction, where he disposed of the pony, saddle, and bridle, and decamped with the proceeds. No more was heard of him until the sth of the present month, when he made his appearance in a new character to act his part in a rather novel scans. On that day he introduced himself at the Euston strstion to a London broker, who was on his way to a large sale of a gentleman' s e ff ec t s at Milton Ball, in Benfordshire, as the agent of no less a personage than Sir John Jervis, commissioned by Sir John to attend the same sale to make some extensive purchases. Arrived in Bedfordshire he was introduced by the broker to Mr. Dew, the auctioneer, who recommended them both to most comfortable quarters at the Falcon Inn, Bletsue. Next day after his arrival he attended at another sale at Reynold, a few miles ( ff, where he made purchases amounting in value to 2071., representing himself there to be an agent of Lord Campbell, to whom the lots were knocked down. After some ineffectual attempts to trans fer some valuable bargains and draw the money, he left with some 275. in his pocket, of which he had succeeded in bilking a poor man, without clearing a lot, or disburs ing one penny, and returned to his rural lodgings at night. At rather an early h our on t h e ensu ing morning he was at Milton-hall, and paid great attention to a black mare,which he pretended to be extremely anxious to pur chase, but which was entered in the catalogue for sale on the following day. As sum i ng a conse quential air, he desired the groom to put on the saddle and bridle and bring her out, so as he could examine her and try her. Finding her slightly lame, he pre tended he would go to the blacksmith's and have her shoe altered, and return in a f e w minutes. This was in the morning. Between six and seven o'clock in the evening, Superintendent Graham, hearing that the fellow had rode away with the mare, questioned the groom, and found it to be the fact. Tne superintendent, with another officer, immediately went iu pursuit of the fellow, and reached Kettering that night, rather over twenty miles from the place, where he discovered that the pretended agent had exchanged away the mare, sold the one for which he had exchanged for is few shillings, and started off by train from Wellingborough, with the saddle and bridle. After some inquiry, the stolen mare was discovered at Northampton. The next appearance of the fellow was at Walsall, in Staffordshire, on the 9th instant, at which place he pro fessed to be a broker, just arrived from London, to at tend a sale in the neighbourhood. Here he remained two days, and on the 11th instant he stole another mare and rode her off to Fazeley fair, where he sold her with the saddle and bridle which he had taken from sf.rtoopalenboe.inneg, started in b p y ur t s h u e it p u o f lic b e i . m, Tbuhte he e ffi w ee a r hs , ipm o a n s sr a ee Milton Ernest.

DWELLINGS FOR THE POOR.---The Society for the General Improvement of the Dwellings of the Poor, lately established, but which, since its commencement, has been benefited by liberal support, have begun the first of a series of operations in the metropolitan districts, by commencing the building of model dwellings for the working classes and their families in the large space of ground between New street, llopkins-street, Husband-street, and Cock-court, adjoining Broad-street, Golden-square, in the parish of St. James. The above philanthropic undertaking will be the means of providing respectable habitations, in lieu of the present dilapidated abodes, one of the worst at present exist ing, of filth and pauperism in the metropolis. J EW S' LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, SussEx-nAnr.. —The winter session of this institution was opened yesterday evening with a conversazione of the mem bers, and other friends, in the new hall attached to the establishment in Leadenhall-street. Mr, Nathaniel Monte fiore presided ; and among the other members of the Jewish persuasion present there were the Rev. Dr. Addler (the chief Rabbi), Mr. Fred. T. Goldsnaidt, the Rev. Dr. Schiller Zinessg of Manchester, and Mr. John Clarke. It appeared, from the speeches made during the evening, that the institu tion lacked support from those it most intended to benefit, and who, from their natural intelligence, it was supposed would have readily availed themseives of its advantages. The proceedings wound up by a concert, in which a party of male and female members delighted the company with some excellent singing. The hall was crowded to excess, bat the Hebrew fair sex made up by tar the greatest portion of the audience. ANNOTTO BAY MINING COMPANY AND LIGtIANEA AND GENERAL MINING COMPANY.— A special general meet ing of the shareholders in the last of the above-named com panies took place yesterday, at their offices in Meorgate street, to consider the propriety of an aragamatioa of the two companies. Mr. Prinsep, the chairman, stated that the basis of an amalgamation of the two companies bad been laid, a former meeting, in a series of resolutions, under which 12,0001. additional capital would have to be raised. The Chairman moved the adoption of the reaolttions, uhich was seconded, and unanimously agreed to. A similar meeting of the Annotto Bay Mining Company took pace immediately afterwards, at which corre,spondmg resolutions were passed. CSVMDYLE ROCK AND GREEN FAKE COPPER MINE COMPANY. —The first generaPm ee ting of this com pany was held y es t erday, at the Queen's Areas, Pcultry ; Mr. John W ebst er i n t h e chair. The proceedings consisted of the reading of reports from the engineer, the c a p tain, the manager, and P ro f essor White, who had peti ona lly inspected the mines. The se reports were deemed highly encouraging by the adventurers, and were unanimously adorted. From an account presented, it appeared that property to the value of 3,2851. belon ge d to the company at the minim, and that nothing was owing. Of the 11. shares, 1,449 had been issued, and 2,551 remained to he issued. Mr. Lutwio9 Mr. John Webster, the Rev. J. W. Blew, Mr. Ward, pad Mr. Beckers, were elected memb ers of committee.

It is expected these excavations will throw great light upon several obscure passages of th e Classics. SUPPOSED SUICIDES BY DROWNlN6.—Yesterd ay, information was forwarded by the police to the various me tropolitan police stations, of the discovery of the bodies of persons who are supposed to have drowned themselves. The first was the description of l a man, about GO years of age, wh o was f ound in the river Lea, on Wednesday morn ing last, near llomerton. The second information referred to the finding of the body of a man, about 35 years of age, and about five feet eix inches in height. The third gave an account of a man, between 50 and 60 years of age, who, with the former de cease d, was p i c k e d up in the Begent's - canal , , at Islington. ROYAL WATEEMEN AND LICHTtIiMEN'S ASYLUM. —The poor watermen of the river have many claims on the public for support ; as from the advancement of science con sequent on the restoration of peace, the formation of docks, and above all the development of the mighty power of steam, the lab our i ng waterman has been almost deprived of the means of his daily subsistence. Another and a strong consideration for their support by the public is, that they have been regarded by the legislature as one of the nurse ries for the royal navy, and by act of parlia ment of the 4th and sth of Queen Anne the company is compelled. in time of war to summon and provide such a number of watermen, to serve in the royal navy, as the Lord High Arnim' of Eng • land, or the commissioners for executing that office, shall from time to time give notice they require; and such persons so summoned are liable to imprisonment and disfranchise ment should they fail to appear when called. upon, and many eminent and distinguished naval officers have borne testimony to their excellence as seamen. The propriety of forming an asylum for the poor aged, de cayed and maimed watermen and lightermen of the river, and their wives or widows, was for some time under the con sideration of the court of the company (a very ancient 011 '); but, being unable, from the state of their funds and the general distress of their members, to erect a building for that purpose, they were induced, some time since, to solicit sub scriptions from their friends and the public for the purpose; and by the liberality they experienced, and the gift of a piece of land at Penge, by the president of the institution, Mr. John Dudin Brown, for the purpose, they have been enabled to build 41 houses for the accommodation of 41 married couples, where many of the aged, and decay members of the company and their wives and widows are Sow living in humble and decent retirement. It was announced at the dinner that the institution had been recently honoured by her most gracious Majesty the Queen and his Rsyal Highness Prince Albert becoming patrons of the same, and that they had contributed 1051. towards the endowment fund thereof. Also, that his Grace the Duke of N orthumberland had kindly consented to become vice-patron thereof, and had contributed a similar sum. The allowance to the inmates and the expenses of repairs, &c., amount to nearly 500/. per annum, and which the committee almost entirely depend upon themselves, their friends, and the public to mak e up. DEATH OF A WIFE.—Mr. Brent, the deputy coro ner for Middlesex,_ concluded, late on Wed neaday evening, at the Fox and Hounds, Little Coram-street, Bloomsbury, an adjourned lengthened inquiry .touc hing the death of Bridget Barry, aged 29, the wife of Joseph Barry, a car. penter, residing at No. 18, Upper James-street, Camden Town, which was alleged to have been caused b y the brutal and inhuman treatment of her husband towards her, who has sines absconded, fearing the result of the coroner's in quest. After hearing the whole of the case, the coroner summed up; and as there was no evidence to connect the death with the ill treatment, the jury returned a verdict to the effect—" That the deceased died from disease of the heart; but whether produced by want of Proper nourish ment, or any other cause, there was not sufficient evidence to show." that the nsrlin, 18th, Y. before the The Cologne Gaz G e E tte ß , M un A de l\T r a t e invitations Gyvern says :--" It is scarcely possible _ separate the desirede the Conferences of Vienna can take pl'hee o pening of I,sth Nov. next.

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ROCHES• TER AND THE REV. R. WHISTON. REINSTATEMENT OF THE APPELLANT. THE JUDGfIENT. Tho judgment in the case of the Reverend Robert Whiaton and the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, is as follows: " The Visitor having heard the appeal of the Reverend R. Whiston against the order of the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, for his removal from the head mastership of their school, made on the 19th day of October, 1849, declares that the pamphlet entitled ' Cathedral Trusts and their Fulfilment,' admitted to have been published by him, and which formed the ground of that removal, contains charges unjustly reflecting upon the conduct of the Dean and Chapter, and is libellous, and that the appellant might lawfully and justly bo punished for it under the cathedral statutes. But taking into consideration that the appellant may have been iu some degree misled by legal opinions of high authority, though given on erroneous data, upon the main charge against the Dean . and Chapter, of having illegally taken to themselves a disproportionate share of the revenue of the cathedral property, and considering also that some of the statutes of the cathedral have not been carried into strict execution, though such disuse may have been sanctioned b 7 practice prevailing during a long series of years, and, in one respect, by the opinion of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, the Visitor further declares that the appel lant shall, on the Ist of January now next ensuing, be re instated in his said office of head schoolmaster, with all the emoluments appertaining thereto; but that he shall have no right or claim against the Dean and Chapter, or any one else, for any profits or emoluments accruing from the said 19th day of October, 1849, the day of his removal from his said office up to the Ist day of January next; the Visitor being of opinion that the appellant justly deserved to be suspended during the time aforesaid, and he directs him to he restored on the Ist day of January next, on this condition and not otherwise; and the Visitor having observed that the charges unjustly made against the Dean and Chapter in the before-men tioned pamphlet have been repeated in several editions published since the first commencement of these pro ceedings, thinks it right earnestly to caution the appellant against the repetition of these charges in any subsequent publication, as the appellant will not have the same ex cuse of his having been misled as to the legal right of the Dean and Chapter, which has been the main reason why the Visitor has teen induced to mitigate the sentence of removal.—Dated this 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1852. " G. ROCHESTER, Visitor. BELGIUM. The Dibats says :—" We learn from Brussels that M. H. de Brouchere has definitively abandoned the mission of constituting a cabinet, and that M. de Theux has been sent for by the King. The new Ministry is to be chosen amongst the most moderate members of the Catholic party. M. H. de Bouckere and his combination failed on the question of the pre sidency of the Chamber, which was very inopportunely raised. The projected cabinet proposed M. Delfosse as President, but it was evident that the opposition would not have accepted that candidatesbip. The name of M. Loos, burgomaster of Antwerp, and member of the Chamber, was put forward, but with out any more success. M. Loos is the intimate friend of M. Charles Rogier. There was afterwards a question of giving the portfolio of the finance de partment to the same M. Loos. After many goings and comings, everything seemed terminated on Satur day evening, and the arrangements were concluded : when the return of M. Piercot from Liege made known the existence of new difficulties, which appeared of a nature to prevent the formation of a new Minis try. M. H. de Brouckere then declared respectfully to the King that his efforts had been unsuccessful, and that be resigned into his hands the mission which he had accepted. It is said that in the new combination M. de Theux will have the Ministry of the interior ; the Prince Joseph de Chimay, the Ministry of Fo reign Affairs; and M. Mercier, the Ministry of Fi nance. But things, however, do not appear so far advanced as is pretended in certain saloons at Brus sels." The Indipendance of Brussels, alluding to the as sertion of the Journal de Francfort, that the Belgian Government had addressed a note to the foreign powers on the subject of the differences with France, says :—" The Belgian cabinet has not addressed any note to the cabinets of Europe on the subject of the commercial difficulties between France and Belgium. It has merely done what is usual in such cases, and what we believe the French Government has done in the present case, transmitted to its representatives at foreign courts explanations of what had passed, in order to enable them, in their political conversations, to defend the line of conduct adopted by their Govern ment. We are informed that the circular in question was transmitted to the different Belgian legations before the official publication, of which it is an ana lysis, had been made." A meeting of the linen-thread spinners has just been held in Belgium on the subject of the commer cial differences with France. As the members of the meeting could not in the present ministerial crisis address themselves to any minister, they resolved on sending a direct address to the King. The Belgian journals do not state the nature of the address. We read in the Independance of Brussels :—" It is not a thing of rare occurrence to see dogs panting and dragging their master up the steeps of the city, while he idly lolls in his little carriage ; but what we have never before seen is a stout, well-grown man in the vigour of age, drawn by his wife, harnessed be tween two large dogs. It was in the Rue de Namur that we a few days since witnessed this act of conju gal autocracy, borrowed from the habits of certain Arab tribes. The Mussulman attitude assumed by the Brabant Bedouin was quite in character; the pipe which he smoked, his copper-colour countenance, and his long black beard gave him quite the appearance of a real child of the Atlas." DENMARK. The last accounts from Copenhagen state that the health of the King had so far recovered that he had been able to visit the Exhibition of National Industry. POLAND. From the 24th May, when the cholera made its appearance at Warsaw, to the 21st August, there were 26,665 cases, of which 11,468 were fatal. 4,398 persons remained under treatment at the latter date. lONIAN ISLANDS. Letters from Corfu, of the Bth, in the Piedmontese Gazelle, announce the arrival there of H.B.M frigate Spiteful, Capt. G. Parker, from Malta. The British fleet was expected at Corfu about the 15th from Sala mine, the prevalence of the small-pox at Corfu hav ing prevented it from coming sooner. The Lord High Commissioner was expected back at the same time. During the last ten days, there have been 3SO new cases of small-pox at Corfu, 71 of which proved fatal. The thermometer was at 82 Fahren heit, and the drought was excessive. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of busi ness. BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL. Mr. BENNOCH gave notice of a motion for the appoint ment of a committee to inquire into the management of Bethlehem Hospital. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON—I am convinced that the governors will be, every one of them, very glad to have an inquiry instituted as soon as possible. (Hear, hear.) POSTPOREMENT OF THE LORD MAYOR'S DAY DINNER. Mr. BARNARD said it would be matter of public COD• venience to be informed at the present time whether it was intended to aiostpone the banquet which would in the usual course take place on the 9th of November, to any subsequent period? As the Lord Mayor Elect was in Court, a notice of that hon. gentleman's intention would be acceptable. (" Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Alderman CHALLIS (the Lord Mayor Elect) said he was glad to have the opportunity thus afforded to him of expressing himself upon a subject of no doubt some interest. It had been, he begged to inform the court, intimated to him that if her Majesty's ministers were invited to the entertainment on the 9th of November, the nearness of that day to the time appointed for the fune ral of the Duke of Wellington would prevent their ac ceptance of the invitation. (Hear, bear.) In order to prevent any disappointment on the subject of the usual entertainment, he was desirous of assuring the court that he and his colleagues, the sheriffs, would take the earliest opportunity after the approaching funeral cere mony, of requesting the ministers to appoint a day, for the banquet, adapted to their convenience. (Cheers.) Mr. ANDERTON—Then there is no idea of applying the money which ought to be expended on the dinner to building almshouses? Alderman CHALLIS—Not the least. (Loud laughter ) COPENHAGEN FIELDS MEAT MARKET. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR solicited the attention of the court to the report on the memorial against the adoption of the site at Copenhagen Fields for the now cattle market. He believed that the document, which certainly com municated the feeling of the committee, would as faith fully represent the opinion of the whole court, and he thought it would be advisable to consider that report, and the report upon the petition of those who were in favour of the site at the same time. (Hear, hear.) The report was then read; it concluded as follows :—" The committee feel not only that there will be ample room for the market and its auxiliaries, and for any increased demand for a century to come, but also that there is room sufficient to keep the market at a distance from the houses at present erected in the neighbour. hood. Your committee know that they would also beat meet the wishes of your honourable court in not disregarding even the imaginary fears of the owners and occupiers of houses and property adjoining Copenhagen-fields; but after ma turely considering all the objections which had been stated, they are satisfied that many of the complaints are unfounded, and the imaginary difficulties exagger ated. The petitioners truly state that the providing a metropolitan market, and conveniences connected there with, in lieu of Smithfield Market, is a task of no ordi narywith kind, as the Corporation of London have ever found it ; tor after having entertained the subject for nearly t r ilt a y ri y vte e hd a e r a e nn , : t i h vai ey have never been able to discover a new site which was without the species of opposition now presented to Copentiagen•fields, as witnessed in the sites proposed in Gray's-inn-lane and Spa-fields; nor were they able to suggest any new site which had not met that species of opposition, except the one proposed g s r t e r e e d et to l . eading north from Farringdon- Th report, after some discussion, was ordered to be received court shortly afterwards adjourned.

Yesterday a public meeting of the clergy and laity o the Church of Englund of the northern district, on the subject of diocesan synods, was held by adjournment from Gloucester, it the large room of the Lion Hotel, in Warrington. Previous to the public meeting divine service took place in the parish church of Warrington, when prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Powis, the rector ; and the Canticles were chanted by the pupils of the Warrington Church of England Training School for Young Female:. A committee meeting was also held at ten o'clock, end at one o'clock the doors were thrown open to the public. The large room was very well filled with clergyman and laymen, considering the unpropitious state of the veather, which must have deterred many persons desi!ous of attending from coming from a dis tance. Among those present were:—Revs. Thomas Collins of iinaresborough , Geo. Gilbert of Grantham, Wm. Pound of Melton, C. H. Burton, Dr. Chas. Burton, F. T. Ripley, Henry Wray, Edwin L. Blenkinsopp, Greenwel, Alan Wm. Walling, C. H. Wood, M. James, J. Irvine, Cies. J. Cumming, Cecil Wray, Geo. Hunting ton, H. J. Huntington, Ed ward Weight, S. G. F. Perry, J. Gaitseell, Geo. Willett of Arle y , &c.; Lord de Tab icy ; Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., of Hawaren Castle, Flintshire; Messrs. John H. Charlton of Runcorn, John Lindsay of Haigh-hall, Henry Woodstock of Wigan, H. G. E. Warburton of Arley, &c. The chair was taken 5y the Rev. Thomas Collins. Prayers having been cefered up by the Rev. Wm. Pound. Ths Rev. Chairman having introduced the business of the meeting there was an immense amount of speechi fying, in which Sir Stephen Glynne, E. War burton, and several other members of the laity took part. S:r STEPHEN GLYNNE, Bart., proposed the first reso luti)n, viz,,—" That it is the duty of the Church to as serable her synods, as soon as it can be done with predence and good understanding ; in order that her holy mission on earth may be fulfilled with increased hethfulnese, and that Churchmen may sooner compose lei differences which now unhappily interfere with r efficiency," which was warmly supported, and ultimately carried unanimously. Mr. POUND then rose, in the unavoidable absence of the Rev. Canon Trevor, to move the next resolution, viz.—" That the present condition and probable pros pects of the Church of England call loudly upon all Church authorities to give every facility for consulta tion, and to make every effort in bringing before assem blies, now in common or partial use, the more pressing necessities of the Church in a definite and convenient form." The resolution was supported by Lord de Tabley, and, like the first, it was carried unanimously, as was also the third, which was proposed by the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, as follows:—" That the meetings in behalf of diocesan synods be for a time suspended at the discretion of the committee. And that all parties feeling the vital im portance of this subject be reminded that considerable pecuniary liabilities have been incurred, and that your financial committee, the Rev. George Gilbert and the Rev. Ralph Grenside, will be glad to receive the means of discharging the same." Thanks having been cordially voted to the chairman and to the secretary, the proceedings of the day closed with the apostolical benediction. ANOTHER ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND. The King's County, which may claim an unenviable distinction in the annals of agrarian crime, has been again disgraced by another brutal assassination of that character. The particulars of the sanguinary deed are as follows:—"It appears that Mr. W. H. Manifold left Tullamore in his gig about six o'clock on Tuesday evening last, with the view of returning to his residence at Munny, near Frankford. He was in agg and was accompanied by Mr. John Dyas, of Frankford, whom Mr. Manifold had accommodated with a seat to the market of Tullamore. They proceeded as far as Pallas hill, in the parish of Killoughy, within less than a quer ler of a mile of Blue Ball Village, where there is a police-station. When they began to ascend the hill, the horse's pace was slackened. Mr. Manifold, who was driving, had his face turned round to Mr. Dyas, with whom he was conversing, when the unsuspecting gentle man was fired at from the right-hand side of the road. Mr. Dyas hearing the report of a shot, looked round to see whence it came, when he saw the appearance of , smoke in the ditch, on the driving side. Fearing some thing had occurred, he looked into Mr. Manifold's face, when his head inclined towards him, and he saw that he was dying, He then laid the unfortunate gentleman, who never uttered a word after receiving the shot, on the seat of the gig. He felt convinced he was dead, and, getting out of the gig, leaving the horse to walk on, he ran as last as he could to the police barrack at Blue Ball, and communicated the occurrence. The police then ran towards the place, and met the gig with Mr. Manifold's remains in it. This melancholy occurrence took place between half-past six and seven o'clock. The body was removed to the barrack to await a coroner's inquest. Mr. Manifold was in the prime of life, and universally respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He has left a wife and one child to deplore his loss. The assassin must have been not far distant from Mr. Mani fold when ho fired. The inquest was held on Wednes day. before James Dillon, Esq., coroner. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against some person or persons unknown. The body was then placed in a shell and conveyed to Munny, the residence of the late respected gentleman. CALIFORNIAN GOLD.—The total amount manifested in California for parts of the United States, from the sth December, 1851, to the sth April, 1852, was 12,744,417 duls. (about 2,545,0001), which would have reached the mints of the Union in the natural cou rse during the first five months of the year. Tho deposits of Californian gold at the several United States mints during these five months were, however, no less than 20,773,000 dols. (4,154,6001.), or 60 per cent. more than the amounts manifested at San Francisco, and due at the mints during that period. Besides these instances are recorded of such large sums as 5,000 dollars to 25,000 dollars, and in one case 80,000 dollars, having been taken packed up in ordinary luggage, with a view to saving freights. The entire product of California up to the 31st of December, 1851, including the shipments to all parts, and the sums retained in the country, is estsmated at 140,930,000 dollars (about 28,186,0001.) ; and that of the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1852, at 33,849,774 dols. (6,730,0 004 ), raising the entire . pro duct from the commencement ot the gold discoveries to the last-mentioned date to 174,780,000 dollars, or about 34,956,0001.

FREE -TRADE MEETING AT DOVER.—A largo meet ing, composed pnncipally of the middl , ? and working classog, was held at the New Town , hall, on Tuesday evening last, for the purpose of hearing a lecture on free Itrade by Robert R. R. Moore, Esq. The subject was also understood to embrace the late elections and the Derby administration. The hall, which, it is computed, will hold about 2,000 persons, was three-fourths filled. Steriker Finnis,Esq., occupied the chair, and briefly opened the meeting by introducing the lecturer, who, having addressed the assembly at considerable length, it was resolved to adopt petitions to Parliament requesting a reform of the election system—an electors' petition, praying that they might be protected in the exercise o f their franchise, and a non electors,' petitions, praying also that those to whom is confided the task of represent ,ng thnm may be enabled conscientiously to discbarg that talk. The meeting then eeparsted. LITERATURE. Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. By Peter Mark Roget, M.D., F.R.S,, &c. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. Au E nglishman's library cannot —we say it advisedly —be regarded as complete without this magnificent product of industry and erudition : without any one exception the most remarkable treasury of the lan guage. Henceforth, we doubt not but that every in telligent scholar in the United Kingdom will as sedu lously turn for assistance to Dr. Roget's "Thesaurus" as he has hitherto been accustomed to refer in all mo ments of verbal difficulty to the aid of Dr. Johnson's " Dictionary." It must not be imagined, however, by those who are unacquainted with the work here submitted to our criticism, that it encroaches in any way whatever upon the ground hitherto occupied by the great lexicographer. Dr. Roger, in carrying out his laborious enterprize, has proceeded in a totally op posite direction—he has not arranged and classified the words in order to obtain the ideas, but, reversing the system, has arranged and classified the ideas in order to obtain the words. It is the first time in the his tory of literature that an undertaking of this charac ter has been actually accomplished. Frequently it may have been contemplated as practicable, but hitherto it has seemed to evade the grasp of realiza tion. The indefatigable energy, the eclectic know ledge, and the indomitable perseverance of Dr. Roget have at length, however, achieved what has heretofore seemed to be the despair of the most active and en lightened philologists. He has bees engaged upon his Herculean task, we are not surprised to learn, during many years past, and the extraordinary volume now published by the eminent house of Longman is the fruit consequently of a research entitled to our most grateful consideration. As the title-page sig nificantly intimates, the work will be found to "faci litate the expression of ideas," and thereby, of course,to aid very materially in the process of literary compo sition. A more acceptable boon could not have been contrived, whether the compiler considered the re quirements of the most shallow tyro or of the most veteran bibliographer. Horne Tooke had already, long ago, pointed with his steady nervous finger the nature of this grand desideratum. Listen, in testi mony of this, to the declaration contained in that one terse but pithytsentence of the terrea nreposera—" It is impossible we should thoroughly understand the nature of the signs, unless we first properly consider and arrange the things signified." "It is impossible" —that was the avowal of a great and profound philo logistaUTOr. Et7rfl,- -" it is impossible." " Rather, however, should he say now, " It was impossible." for the dream of Tooke has become the reality of Roget. The " things signified" have been here, both " considered and arranged"—considered with all pos sible caution, and arranged with all imaginable adroit ness—by the keen eye and rapid hand of the author of " Thesaurus." Everybody knows well enough that the problem submitted to himself for solution by the lexicographer, is simply :—The word being given, to find the idea it is intended to convey, or, in other words, to discover its signification. In the really won derful compilation before us, the problem to be solved is different. It is this :—The idea being given to find the word, or words, by which the idea may be most fitly and aptly expressed. Surely the advantage of a pro duction accomplishing this must be, at a glance, suf ficiently apparent. Whether he be a writer or not— there cannot possibly be a man amongst the more in telligent classes of the population who has not occa sionally experienced the embarrassing sense of a very painful inaccuracy, or let us say, at least of a scarcely less painful inadequacy of diction for the revelation of thoughts or emotions burning in his head or heart for the relief of utterance. As affording aid at these moments, the " Thesaurus" must infallibly prove a resource altogether inestimable. It has permanently stamped its author's name upon the annals of English literature as one of our ripest scholars, and one of our most accomplished philologists. Was it Fox who said it of Pitt, or Pitt of Fox? Whoever the author or the object of the eulogium, however, it is on record somewhere among the anec dotes of our national rhetoricians, that it was re marked of a brother orator by one of the most elo quent luminaries of the British Parliament, " I never want a word, but he never wants the word !" A panegyric not capable of very frequent application, otherwise we should not so frequently encounter, even in the writings of our most eminent men of letters, passages of bewildering involution or of stilted phraseology,—a style happily termed by Dr. Roget, one " at once laboured and obscure, vapid or redun dant, or vitiated by the still graver fault of affectation or ambiguity." Our conceptions are, moreover, some times so fleeting in form, and so subtle in peculiarity, that a rapid command of diction is essential not only for their communication to others, but even for their exact appreciation by ourselves. Thought becomes at these moments too variable, and, so to speak, vola tile in its evanescence, to be followed up without extraordinary difficulty through all the sequence of concatenation—and this, more especially, in the more abstract reveries superinduced by either ethical or metaphysical investigation. Under this be wilderment we may be fain to cry out in the despairing tones of Horace, Quo tow= vultus mutantem Protea nodo P Dr. Roget replies to that appeal by his " Thesaurus." He removes the diffi culties which have until now stood, for some insur mountably, in the way of graceful and perspicuous composition. If there be no royal road to learning, he has at any rate macadamized the old republican path-way which the majority have traversed only with unalleviated pain, and unmitigated difficulty. The manner in which he has accomplished this, is to us one of the most surprising miracles yet performed in the miraculous development of our language. He has contrived—necessarily—a perfectly novel system of classification. This system, we may observe, can be at once comprehended with facility by an exami nation of his very lucid and ingenious "Tabular Sy nopsis of Categories." First of all, he separates the ideas that require to be catalogued into classes, he subdivides these classes into sections, and, lastly, he numbers the minor fragments into which those sec tions have, in the end, been paragraphed. In order, if possible, to explain this skilful system of classifica tion, we would observe, for instance, that Dr. Roget has contented himself with distributing the whole mass of his materials into Six Classes, separating these classes variously into what constitutes, in the aggregate, Twenty-four Sections, and partitioning the whole yet more minutely into what reaches altogether the sum total of exactly One Thousand Paragraphs. The six classes are—l. Abstract Relations. IL Space. 111. Matter. IV. Intellect. V. Volition. VI. Af fections. Under the First Class, that of Abstract Relations, we have as Sections-1. Existence (Nos. 1 to 8) ; `el. Relation (Nos. 9 to 24) ; 3. Quantity (Nos. 25 to 57) ; 4. Order (Nos. 58 to 83) ; 5. Number (Nos. 84 to 105); 6. Time (Nos. 106 to 139) ; 7. Change (Nos. 140 to 152) ; 8. Causation (Nos. 153 to 179). The example here given of a distinct class with the manner of its division into sections, and of its subdivision into paragraphs, will sufficiently dis play the ingenuity of the method adopted by our phi lologist in his arrangement. " Space," in like manner, has for its sections four; namely,—Generally, Dimen sions, Form, and Motion. " Matter" has three— Generally, Inorganic, and Organic. "Intellect" two —Formation of Ideas and Communication of Ideas. " Volition," two, —lndividual, and Intersocial. And Affections," the last of the classes, six—Generally, Personal, Sympathetic, Moral, and Religious. How all this is accomplished in the details, details necessarily elaborate, and, to the superficial observer, seemingly almost infinitesimal , may be ver y readily recognized, as before indicated, by eve n a su p erficial glance down the Tabular Synopsis of Categories. It must not be conjectured, however, from what has been already remarked in the present criticism, that the labours of Dr. Roget have been restricted to a mere catalogue of words. Enormous as that task alone ' would have been, he has not contented himself with accomplishing it in the goodly volume under consi deration, but to the individual words themselves he has added a copious variety of phrases and forms of expression, some of them composed of several words, as, for instance, " to have a finger in the pie," or " to turn over a new leaf"—phrases which, according to the all-embracing judgment of the compiler, " are of such frequent use as to entitle them to rank among the constituent parts of the language." All-embracing we have termed his judgment, and assuredly not with out reason, seeing that the " Thesaurus" contains much that would have gladdened the heart of Cat nach, while it would infallibly have tasted not more pleasantly than asafetida in the nostrils of Chester field. We can't help thinking that good, industrious Dr. he is Roget, must infallibly be a bit of a wag, B as ut for his cer tainly a great deal of a philosop f her. fun through the partiality for a little sprinkling”o drier details of the " Thesaurus," 360) under the head possibility have discovered (N,o,.tocould never by hop the twig," and of " Death," such phrases as admitting these "to kick the bucket." Although b u y rrent enough in forms of expression—undoubtedlynderedu himself liable to society—the compiler ha y s er r -lenient to mere slang and the accusation of bein g vulgarisms, he has, nevertheless thereby only yielded a new and vivid evidence of his a anxiety to give hi s work the most desira ble of all merits for such an un dertaking—the broad and is pa ramount merit of com. pleteness. Occasionally, it true,blemis h es may reasonably enough, in so complex and novel an enter prize, be detected, either through an error of om i ss i on o r through On e of classification. E veryt hi ng duly considered, the whole of the enormous difficulty of the task being borne in recollection, it must, however, be acknowledged upon all hands, that Dr. Roget has at tained a degree of accuracy and completeness that no one would have ventured to predict for an early issue of the " Thesauru s ." If i t were in no other re spect advantageous to the cause of our national litera ture, the volume would be welcome, seeing that by no less than four words—irrelation, amorphism, sinistra. ity, and gaseity, abstract nouns derived of course from the familiar adjectives, " irrelative," " amorphous," " sinistral," and " gaseous"—it has, we conceive, permanently enriched the language. Speaking him.. self of the difficulties standing in the way of a lucid classification of ideas, Dr. Roget has directed atten tion to the circumstance of a neutral idea being some times admitted between two others of a completely opposite character, and from which it is equi-distant, as in the subjoined : Identity. Difference. Contrariety. Beginning-. Middle. End. Past. Present. Future. Still more curiously, be has pointed out examples where the intermediate word is simply the negative to each of two opposite positions. As— Convexity. Flatness. Concavity. Desire. Indifference. Aversion. Again, he reminds us that elsewhere the intermediate word is properly the standard with which each of the extremes is compared. As— Insufficiency. Sufficiency. Redundance. From these illustrative facts, it is obvious that the obstacles necessary to be vanquished, even in the Tabular Synopsis of Categories, were by no means trivial in extent or restricted in number. Yet the vast majority have been successfully overcome by the compiler, sometimes by conquest, and sometimes by evasion. Having himself triumphed so remarkably over difficulties that, to a less energetic and lets in structed philologist, must have appeared to be almost wholly insurmountable, we deem it no marvel that he talks hopefully towards the close of bis very masterly "Introduction" of the possibility of mankind being ultimately blessed with one Universal Language. It was the day-dream of Leibnitz—it was the conviction of Wilkins—and it is still the hope of Roget : nor can we feel amazement that such should be the case in the latter instance, when we scan the pages of the really marvellous compilation before us, and reflect upon the care, and the acuteness, and the vigilance, and the perseverance, and the indomitable energy, and the abounding knowledge, successfully concen trated in the fabrication of this wonderful " The saurus"—the classified and docketted store of all the riches of the English language. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-THIIRSDAY. At the commencement of business Azael was in great force at 11 to 2, and was first favourite, but subsequently gave precedence to Babette, who, after several offers of 6to 1, left off at sto 1 (taken). Azael receded to 6to 1 on the advance of the mare, afterwards rose to 5 to 1, taken to several hundred pounds, and finally closed at 11 to 2 (takers.) A good deal of money was laid out on Ephesus at 10, 11, and 12 to 1, the last bet being 1,100 to 100. Convulsion, Hyacinth, Vireathergage, Hobble Noble, and the Knight of the Shire were backed for small sums; nothing else was in favour. CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. 5 to 1 agat Mr. R. E.
