The explanations of Mr. Garbutt, at the Leeds meet ing, on the occasion of Mr. Fitzwilliam making his pub lic debut as candidate for the West Riding, serve to con firm the grounds on which we have already ventured to censure the actings of the Liberal Executive Committee in this business. Their grand error consisted in making the admission, which Mr. Carbutt did not hesitate, in their name, to repeat and avow, of " the right of the agricultural party to have the nomination of one representative, and the manufacturing interest that of another." Now, the principle of such concession is essentially false,• on the hypothesis either of these interests being identical or of their being op posed. If they are identical, the concession is needless ; and, if opposed, it is prejudicial to the majority, whose suffrage rights are thus bargained away. But, when for " agricultural party," we read the aristocratic or landed section of the Libe rals; and for " manufacturing interest," the great body of middle-class voters, the transaction stands out in still clearer relief. What the Executive Committee should have done, when the Whig aristocracy approached them for the purpose of making terms, was, to let it be dis tinctly understood they would enter into no paction except that the candidate for their suffrages should be a man of tried political virtue, character, ard ability. In place of this, however, on a vague and loose under standing with respect to the candidate's orthodoxy on the four points, they consented to delegate the right of initiation to the House of Fitzwilliam. We cannot think that the Executive Committee do well to be angry, now that they have been baulked in their expectations. It is all very fine for Mr. Carbutt to talk of Mr. Fitz william having bidden "defiance" to the Normanton meeting. Speaking for the Executive Committee, he ought to have been prepared to say that the landed sec tion of the Liberals had broken faith by starting such a candidate. But this he is unable to do, simply because the Executive Committee were not careful to have the terms of the "compromise" clearly defined and accu rately guarded. In the most favourable view, the "com promise" would have been an error. But things standing as they do, it is an enormous bungle. With the Ex ecutive Committee alone will rest the blame of the West Riding being inefficiently and injuriously repre sented. Since the above was written, we have learned that Mr. Fitzwilliam has retired, and that the delegates at the Normanton meeting, on Wednesday, being divided be tween Mr. Roebuck and Sir Culling Smith, the English Agnew, a bitter and narrow-minded bigot, decided, by a e. that This oose Sir I,L ' ' Ecpi s s m uuu titrs i lho l i ep i nheg m i . doinga j tt io o n r g i eom t majority, make in er T.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, IN RE PARR, AN INFANT. Mr. PRENTICE applied to the Court for an enlarge s:new of a -rule calling on Mrs. Elizabeth Parr to show eause why she refused to give to her husband, Mr. Henry Parr, the possession of a male child, aged three years. It appeared that Mr. Parr had obtained a habeas corpus to bring up the ckSild. The child was accordingly brought before Mr. Justice Patteson in the Bail Court. He (Mr. Prentice) now appeared to show cause, upon affidavits of Mrs. Parr, Mr. White, and several others, why she refused to render up the child to her husband. The affidavits stated that the parties had been married several years, and that Mr. Parr had treated her with the greatest cruelty, and had frequently used vio lence towards her ; so much so that she was obliged for her protection to leave him, and to place herself under the guardianship of her mother. By the mediation of parties sad his entreaties they were again brought together, but she found it impossible from his conduct to live with him, and she again went to her mother. The affidavits referred to other acts of cruelty. The Learned Counsel alleged various reasons why his application should be gran t r. Mr. Parr said he was prepared to contradict by affi. davits the charges made against him. The COURT said they would eonsult Mr. Justice Pat teson, and take the matter again to morrow.

We read in the new journal called Le Credit:— "Numerous deputations are coming from the depart ments to gain information as to the personal charac ters, the guarantees for order, and a gocd and pros perous administration, presented by each of the candidates fOr the Presidency of the Republic. We are assured that at several conferences on this subject between these deputations and the President of the Council, the latter has expressed himself in the most ice categorical manner on the suspicions calumniously propagated lately as to the entrance of MM. Dufaure ar.d Vivien into the Cabinet. M. Cuvaignac declared, in language full of candour and energy, that it was ab solutely impossible for any man of heart and sense, 1 . 4 after the pledges for order which he had given in the month of June, and of his respect for majorities by the composition of the Ministry, to become un faithful to the line of politics which these two acts have designated. The persons who were present at .hese communications retired fully impressed with :he truth and frankness of the declarations made o them." Nine representatives of the department of the If Vosges have decided, says the Moniteur du Soir, upon supporting the candidateship of General Ca vaignac, and to make public this resolution in the Is. department.

A second edition of the Cologne Gazette of yester _ thy contains the following Address of the Archduke Regent to the people of Germany:— "TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE. "Germans ! I address you at a most serious crisis as yy regards the interest of our Fatherland. Listen to my words with confidence. " A lamentable schism has occurred between the crown and the popular representatives of Prussia I The people of Germany have taken part in this controversy to a considerable extent, and they have, i❑ doing so, maintained a peaceable and legal attitude. The voice of passion, however, resounds through the land, and extends with inflammatory fury. A part of the Prussian Depu ties have resolved to withhold the taxes. By so doing, they have loosened the bands of political existence, deeply shaken the foundations of civil society, and brought Pru-sis, and with it the whole of Germany, to the verge of civil war. "Prussians! the representatives of Germany at Frank ;on assembled, have, in this momentous crisis, uttered the soothing words of peace. The Imperial Assembly has expressed a wish that the King of Prussia should surround himself with advisers who enjoy the confidence of the country. It has solemnly pledg( d itself to main flan the rights and liberties promised and ensured to ou; it has promised you protection against any attempt to ♦iolate them. It has, however, at the same time de c!art d the resolution of the Prussian deputies to withhold the taxes wholly null and void. " Prussians ! the Imperial Assembly at Frankfort repri sents the German nation in the aggregate, and its ( - 1( cision is supremo law (obentes yesctz) to all. " Germans ! I will act in lull accordance with the imperial Assembly. I will not allow the resolution hick, by preventing the levy of the taxes in Prussia, endangers the prosperity of the whole of Germany, to be carried into effect. " I will, however, enforce the fulfilment of the pledges given for the security of the rights and liberties of the Prussian people; they shall remain intact, as well as those of all our German brothers. " Prussians! I rely upon you, that you will stand by me—that you will avoid all acts of illegality and violence, and show yourselves worthy of the blessings of liberty. lii ep the peace, and I will maintain it also. " Germans I I rely on you who stand by me, and I will stand by you. The long wished for object, for which 3,i Iwe are striving, is nearly attained. The labours of the German Constitution will soon be completed, and our beautiful Fatherland will then in unity and freedom be great and powerful. (Signed) " THE ARCHDUKE JOHN, Regent of the Empire.

M. Grabow concludes by declaring that he recom mends that the Assembly shall be allowed tp sit at Berlin, and that a Ministry shall be formed which could secure a compact majority. Coar..EnTz ; Nov. 18.—On account of the refusal to pay taxes having been voted by the National Assem bly, a large quantity of flour and some cattle entered our town this morning without paying the customary dues. SCOTTISH RAILWAYS. —The Parliamentary notices in connex.on with Scottish railways for next session indi cate that, with trifling exceptions, no new works will be promoted, and most of the measures sought for will be tor internal mutual arrangement. DOCKS. DlTidend per Annum. THE SUN, LONDON, ITALY. It is said that the conferences on the affairs of Italy will take place at Brussels, and that Lord Minto will represent England, and M. de Tocqueville France. The Patria of the 16th instant contains the follow ing, dated Bologna, 14th : " At midnight the Minister of War, General Zuc chi, ordered the garrison to meet on the Palace-square, without even the knowledge of General Latour. Be then sent for the chiefs and direct( d them to cause barricades to be erected simultaneously in the streets of Borgo, San Pietro, Lame, and Pratello ; to sta tion men behind them to prevent the exit of every individual residing in those streets, whilst the remainder should search every house, cne after the other. By that means, the Government seized upwards of 1,000 muskets concealed in them. The moment this fact became known all the respectable inhabitants of the city hastened to congratulate General Zucchi. The General was to publish on the following day a proclama tion, enacting that every individual caught in the act of robbing or o ff er i ng v i o l ence to persons should be imme diately shot." The Alba quotes the following letter from Bonne, of the 14th inst.:— " The conduct of the Rossi Cabinet is anti-national. It intends to inaugurate here the reign of terror. The city is full of troops, reports of conspiracies are art fully circulated, in imitation of Guizot. The pol•ce, on an order of the Minister Rossi, sent for M. Vincent Carbonelli, a Neapolitan, and enjoined him to leave Rome in twenty-four hours. Carbonelli protested, in voking the right of every Italian, furnished with a re gular passport, to reside quietly in a constitutional state of Italy, ao long as he committed no violation of the laws." THE MEDITERRANEAN. - - SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, MIDNIGHT.—The Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Ripon, Capt. R. Moresby, 1.N., arrived, off this port at 9 P.M., with the heavy portion of the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieut. Brady, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates of sailing were—Alexan dria, Nov. 8; Malta, 13; and Gibraltar, 18. The Ripon has experienced fair but boisterous weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay. She has this ♦oyage arrived earlier than any of the company's ships have hitherto done, and her run has been performed in an extraordinarily short time. The freight list comprises 185 packages of specie, value 100,000/. sterling; 40 bales of s 1k: 140 barrels of dates, and 200 packages of general merchandise, principally ♦aluable goods from India. There arc 55 first-class and 20 second-class passengers, amongst whom we notice Mr. James Allan, the secretary of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, who has been out to India on a mission connected with an extension of the company's steam operations in the In dian Seas. The news from India and China, brought by the Ripon, has been anticipated by the overland exprtsi via Marseilles, but we have ten days later from Gibraltar than has been hitherto received. The Board of Health in Tangier, imitating the absurd rt gulations at Gibraltar, had promulgated a decree, or dering a quarantine of 15 days to be imposed on all ships arriving from ports of Great Britain. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's agent at Gib raltar had fitted up the hulk Santa Anna for the recep ception of goods and passengers arriving from England. in which to perform the necessary quarantine. On an :examination of the cargo of the brig Three Sisters that had been recaptured .from Moorish pirates by her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus, it had been found that 850 barrels of gunpowder and a considerable quan tity of Manchester goods had been abstracted by the Moore; the remainder of the cargo, consisting of cocoa, tobacco, and coals was untouched. The Peninsular steamer Madrid, Capt. John Weeks, left Gibraltar fur Southampton on the 16th instant, and would touch at Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo for the mails. She may be expected to arrive to-morrow, the 24th instant. At Gibraltar the rate of exchange on London, at 90 (lays, 49; on Paris, sf. 29c.; Madrid, 8 days' sight, 3 di,count. The United States frigate United States, Commodore Reed, last from the Gull of Sp, zzia, was at Gibraltar. The steamer, Polyphemus, CommandPr M'Uleverty, ar rived from Malaga, on the 18th instant. The Ripon spoke the following ships :—Nov. 17th, 100 miles E. of Gibraltar, the barque Flower, steering W., desired to be reported ; Nov. 18th, in the Straits of Gibraltar, the brig Duchess of Leicester, bound to Malta; on the 19th, off Cape St. Vincent, the brig Wish, homeward bound; on the 21st exchanged colours with the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer loeria, 50 miles N.E. of Cape Finisterre, steering S.

SUGAR.—To-day the importers of Raw Sugar were not disposed to make any further concesssion in the value, still exporters or home trade buyers could not be induced to extend their purchases, as the supply con t i nues good. West India was dealt in with caution, both for the pan and scale, at the rates of yesterday. At public sale 102 hhds 21 tierces and 44 harrels of Barbadoes were only in part sold upon barely former terms ; good yellow went at 38s 6d, g o o d m iddli ng 375, middling 35s 6d to 36s 6d, low 34s to 355. The purchases to-day are only 210, making 1,096 hhds and tees for the week, hut prices are not more than 6d per cwt lower than on Fri day last. For public sale on Tuesday 150 hhds of Bar badoes, 800 bags of Mauritius, 200 bags of Bengal; and for Wednesday 151 hhds 19 casks of Cuba Muscovado Sugar are declared. REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in with more readiness for home trade purposes; good brown lumps at 475, and standard at 48s per cwt. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm at former rates. MAURITIUS. —This afternoon the public sales of 2,567 bags, 26 casks, and 42 barrels Mauritius Sugar went off a part only finding buyers at about former terms. The chief part consisted of small lots, and of Sugar out of condition. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Madras Sugar of soft quality met with little attention, and 1,629 bags at auc tion were only in part sold at about former terms ; low brown went at 27s 6d, middling 28s, good and fine 28s 6d to 29s 6J, low yellow 303 to 31s, middling 31s 6d to 32s 6d ; but 878 bags were sold on full terms. 1,342 .p_ a r n iTv d aot w .ed a l ay s y h m e t washed there sbv was a o ssi 2 nn 9 .eos s sp p u e wb r , al wt. ni ee ; of mats Manill a t a k en in at 29s 6d to 30s 6d for low brown Muscovado, s s Sonar, but the r p e i u g r n_ chases for the week are a cargo of white Paraiba at 20s; 10,000 bags yellow Manilla 17s 3d; 1,000 chests white ' PRIDA.Y EVENING-, isiOVEMBER 24, 1848 Khaur 265; the Pernambuco taken in at public sale on Wednesday has been sold at an average of 19s 3d fir white; a cargo of Maceio is reported at 20s. At Blisted 800 chests of fine yellow Ilavannah found buyers at 41s duty paid. MorAsses.—Only a small business has been concluded in West India this week; still holders are firm, and in sist upon fully former rates for all kinds; the value is from 14s 6d to 18s per cwt. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Besigal Treacle at 15s to 15s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—There was no public sale to day of any sort of Coffee, and privately little business was done for home use or export. The value of good ord Native Ceylon is 26s .6d to 27s 6d. On Tuesday 800 bags of Native Ceylon Coffee will he put up to public sale. COCOA.—Prices are still on the decline for Foreign, and buyers operate with reluctance, the supply also in- creases. At public sale, 262 bags Guayaquil were sold at 28s 6d, but 115 bags bright red Bahia were all with drawn at 29s to 30s per cwt. British Plantation is not offered at any further decline; the demand is, however, not of a more satisfactory nature. The value of low to fine red is 373 to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The stock is, however, on the decrease. I'EA.-131ack is not offered at a fuather reduction, yet all parties do business w i t h caut i on, and the supply is pl. otiful. Green has been dealt in with caution, and anti be obtained upon rather lower terms, the supply also far exceeds the wants of the trade. Notwithstanding the cheapness of Scented and Pekoe Tea, yet buyers cannot be induced to extend their purchases. Ii is sur prising that with low prices, a large consumption and moderate stock, that the Tea market should continue in so unfavourable a position. The value of Congou of ordinary quality is 6d to 7d, good ord 7ii, mixed blackish leaf 8d to 84d, blackish leaf 9d to 10d, strong ltd to is Id, ditto and Pekoe flavour is 2d to Is 9d, Souchong, low and middling 8d to is 2d, good and fine Is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d. Dealers in both town and country are but moderately supplied. SPinrrs.—A large, amount of business has been con cluded in Leeward Island Rum this week, but holders have been compelled to submit to a further reduction. The sales are 700 puns at is 31c1 for good brown, a few lots at is 4d, and a small parcel of plain quality at is 3d ; East India is little wanted, and 50 hhds of fine have been sold at Is 4d proof, low is only worth Is 3d. Demerara has been soldto a fair, extent, but at prices in favour of buyers. The sales are 250 puns at 2s to 2s Id for 30 to 38 per cent, over proof. For Jamaica home and export demand is limited, though sellers are willing to take rather lower rates for all kinds excepting. f9r fine, of which the supply is small. Cuba is not-worth more than is 2d proof. Brandy is not lower, still buyers make purchases with caution, de liveries keep upon a large scale, and the stock is mode • rate. For Cognac best brands of the:vintage of 1845 holders ask 5s Id to 5s 3J, 1846 4s 9d to 4s I Id, 1847 3s 9d to 3s I Id, inferior 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 25 4el to 25 9d, Spanish 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and Fiench 50 per cent over proof 2s to 2s 2d per gallon. COCIIINEAL.—Prices generally cannot be quoted higher for this article as the supply is )et plentiful. At auction 244 bags of Honduras were all sold. The value of black is 38 8d to ss. Mexican 3s 61 to 4s, silers 3s 4d to 3s 7d. All sorts keep much lower in price than at that time, but this is not expected to be the case long, as the state of trade in the manufacturing parts of the country is better. RICE.—To-day the demand was not brisker for East India Rice. At Auction 1 794 bags of Bengal were taken in at lis 6a to 12s 6d for good mid and good white, and mid Its to its 6d, which is rather above the value, but damaged sold at 8s 6d to 103 6d; 653 bags of Madras sold at steady rate, good pinky white 93 to 9i 6d, inferior 8s to 8s 6d. and damaged 7s 6d to 8s per cwt. SPicas.--Of Black Pepper none has been offered at auction this week, and privately only small parcels hare been sold, notwithstanding the low rates current. Sumatra of clean quality is to be obtained at 21-d, low grey dusty Penang at 2d, Malabar 20 to 2id, and shot at 2-id to 3d. White is yet in small supply, and is wanted at 4d to si, fine 6d to 9d per lb. Pod is dull of sale at 40s to 60s per cwt. The supply of Pimento bas fallen off; and there is a fair demand at 4id to 5d for mid to good; none has been offered at auction this week. SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough continue to display firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public sale this week, whilst privately only a limited quantity is on offer. Several inquiries have been experienced from shippers and home trade buyers, and the rates offered are fully equal to Friday last. Calcutta of low and mid quality realise 25s to 25s 6d, and good to fin e 26$ to 27*. • These rates are 2s to 34 per cwt under those current at this time last year. British refined sells readily at 28s 6d to 295, indeed some parties will not take these rates. FRUIT.—To-day at public sale 181 pkgs of Patras Currants part damaged sold at 36$ to 395, low 33s ; 5l pkgs Cepbalonia 35s to 375, low 32s to 34s ; 278 bskts Malaga Figs 32s ; 2,929 boxes Elemo Raisins, a small part only found buyers at 35s to 43s ; 181 ditto Carabourna sold at 365; 2,620 drums of Sultana, a Small part sold at 65s to 70s; 1,044 pkgs Muscatels in part sold at 43s to 48s ; 358 pkgs Jordon Almonds taken out - 65 ditto of V a l enc i a taken in at 72s t o 78 s ; 415 p k gs o f dried Valencia sold, Raisins 33s to 38s ; 232 bskts of damaged Denia ditto 26 to 27s ;2,500 drums of Turkey pulled Figs sold sound 60s, fine 90s to 955.

EGYPT. That renowned- and fertile country—the mother of Grt cian art and of European civilization—that country of the Pharaohs which now, by the wonderful aid of steam, communicates in a time incredibly short with the coasts of Syria, Caramania, Anatolia, and the Black Sea, with Greece, with Italy, and the northern coasts of Attica. with the coasts of Arabia, with the gulfs of Persia and Bengal, with Sumatro, Java, nay even with distant China, and sealed, fir oifJapan, can never be otherwise than an object of interest and solicitude to the merchants, the traders, and the politicians of Great Britain. A coun try so rich in natural productions, so blessed by natural site, must in any position of political circumstances force itself on the attention of a nation such as England. Pro-. diming corn, rice, cotton, beans, sp;ces, precious gurus, flax, gold dust, ivory, and a third of the drugs to be found in the materia milieu of this drug-consuming country — questions of commerce alone would commend such a country to any sensible Englishman's fasourable atten tion, it its unrivalled position, with the Red Sea at its head, the Indian Ocean behind it, the Mediterranean in front, and the matchless_Ni!e in its centre, did not ab solutely force the notice of E;ypt upon the considera tion of the statesman and the politician, The import ance of this land of the Ptolemies to England, great in every commercial and general political aspect, becomes enhanced, nay, absolutely gi4antic and colossal, when viewed in subservience to our' political and commercial correspondence with India. From the wonderful revo lir ions recently wrought by rail and steam, the commu nication by Egypt beomes now more than ever a necessary link in the chain of connexion with our Indian empire, and there is not a civilian of any of the presidencies, nor a soldier of the Bengal, Madras, or l3otnbay armies, nor any one of their relatives or connexions in England, who are not interested in the condition of a country which must in a very few weeks change—if, indeed, it have not already changed—its former ruler and chief governor. Changes are now, in this age of change, rife in standstill, hitherto unchange able Egypt. Tho reader is well aware that that re markable man, born 80 years ago, the son of a female slave at Kanala, in Macedonia, whose earliest life was spent in the humblest pursuits of a small commerce in tobacco—who in 1800 was appointed a pasha of two tails in Egypt---who then for the first time learned to read and write—and who six years afterwards, namely, in 1806, became governor of the country with whose fate his name has been since indissolubly bound up —the reader, we say, is aware that Mahommed Ali, full of years and of infirmities, some time since retired from the fatigues of his Government, and that in consequence the cares of empire devolved on his second son, Ibrahim Paella, the successful commander in the expedition against the Wachabees, and who visited England some three or four years ago. From some of the latest accounts it would appear that this son Ibrahim—the actual ruler of Egypt —whom the old man had looked upon as his successor, had been confined to his bed for more than three weeks, without hope of recovery—that no person was allowed to go near him—and that as a last. resource he was to be conveyed to the milder climate of Upper Egypt. Other accounts intimate the impossibility of the patient's re covery ; while later and probably more authentic letters speak of his death as an event which might be instantly looked for, if, indeed, it had not already taken place. Under these circumstances Abbas Pacha would undoubtedly succeed to the Government of Egypt. But that personage had left Suez for the port of Jcdda at the end of October, on a pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, on board the company's steamer, the Feroze. It is, however, a circumstance of fortunate augury that, ere he assumes the reigns of power, his Highness will have an opportunity of seeing and learning, on board a company's vessel, of how much importance it is to the civilization and commerce of the world, as well as to the prosperty of Egypt, over which he is destined to r u l e as Vic e r o y, th a t e ll those facilities accorded long ago by Mahommed Ali should . he continued—indeed augmented and increased. hucti an influence is not merely necessary to Eng land, in order to give us the roaster-key overland to our own possessions, but it is also necessary to the interests of European trade—to the prosperity of Egypt itself --to the integrity of the Ottoman empire — to the security of Persil—and to the good government of the provinces washed by the, waters of the " dark rolling" Danube. Such an influence is necessary, to Egypt herself; for if anything, after thirty centuries of slavery, ca n rec l a i m a lan d remar k a bl e f or it s teeming fertility, unrivalled climate, and rich natural productions„ from misery an d s l avery, it w ill b e i ts now becoming- 7 we will not say continuing, for the passenger trade is but commencing —the high road from England and Europe to the distant east. - If this truth was felt years ago by Mahommed Ali himself, a man born in indigence, nurtured in adversity, and who, ruled Egypt more as IRELAND. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. MR. SMITH O'BRIEN—THE WRIT OF ERROR. Dum.nr, Nov. 23.—The argument in this case termi nated last night. Mr. Whiteside argued at great length, and with his usual ability in support of the error as signed. At the conclusion of the argument, Mr. NAPIER, Q.C., applied to the Court that counsel might be heard on the part of the other three prisoners, in whose behalf writs of error had been lodged, before judgment was given in the case now before the court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that had the matter been mentioned to him before there might have been no possible objection to what was proposed by Mr. Napier. As it was, the matter was discretionary with the Court, and it occurred to,him that alter the very full argument which the subject mat er the writ of error in the pre sent case had received, it would scarcely be necessary to hear any other counsel uron it. Mr. NAPIER said that it was the wish of the other prisoners -that their counsel might have an opportunity of putting forward their views on the sutject. It had been done before in cases tried on the Leinster circuit, in which he (Mr. Napier) had been assigned as counsel for the prisoners. Nor was it unreasonable that in cases like the present such an arrangement should be com plied with. CHIEF JUSTICE—My difficulty is, that those other cases are not in issue. They have not been entered on the list, and I understand that the books are not yet made up. Mr. O ' CALLAGHAN said that in all cases error had been joined, and, on the part:ot M'Manus, he (Mr. O'C,) adopted the points of error assigned in Mr. O'Brien's case. Surely not a word too much could be said in mat ters of such paramount importance, where the lives of the prisoners were concerned. CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court is very anxious, as far as is in its power, to accede to the wishes of the counsel for the different prisoners ; and we are anxious not to pro nounce any judgment until we have heard what can be urged in support of the errors. We therefore suggest that we would hear counsel for each of the three remain ing prisoners who have writs of error depending—if the Crown think proper, one counsel for each; and then, if the Attorney-General should think groper to reply, he would be at liberty to do so. Judge PERRlN—Pr.vided the prisoner in this case has no objection—provided he does not call for judg ment at once. Mr. O'Brien said, that so fir as ho was personally con cerned, he could not pay sufficient homage to the ability of the Learnt d Counsel who had been assigned to act on his behalf: but it was right that the Court should know that the other prisoners had not been comulted in refer ence to the selection of their counsel. Ile conceived that their cases were entirely involvt d in the decision wh:ch the Court should pronounce .upon. the one now before it; and it would be only fair towards them that they should have an opportunity of being heard by their counsel before that d.•ciFion should be pronounced. That was strongly the impression of the other prisoners. Mr. Meagher had addressed a letter to him on the subject, which he would read to the Court. CHIEF JUSTICE—Better leave this matter in the hands of counsel. Mr. BUTT said that he had been assigned as counsel for one of the three remaining prisoners, and he thought that the proposition of hearire . , one counsel for each of them, before the decision in Mr. O'Brien's case, was as much as they ought to expect. It was finally arranged that one counsel should be heard for each of those prisoners before judgment in the present case; and that the counsel should confine them selves to the points of error which had already been dis cussed in that case. The Court then adjourned to this day, (when the Srst of the three counsel will be heard MR. DUFFEY'S TRIAL. The exclusion of Catholics from the juries impannelled 0 try illsisr4.

This bill was filed against Edward Thornton Wode house and William Wodehouse, the executors of the late Lord Wodehouse, praying that the rights and liabilities of the plaintiff's end defendants in respect of certain pieces of land at Kimberley, in Norfolk, lately occupied by Thomas Bayes, a defendant, might be ascertained and declared ;—for a declaration that Bayes was not en titled to any sum for compensation in respect of the pieces of land lately occupied by him, and that ho be ordered to surrender and assign all his interest therein to the plaintiffs ; but if it should appear that Bayes was entitled to any compensation from the company in respect of their having taken the pieces of land, then that the sum which ought to be paid by the company be ascertained, and its payment made by the plaintiffs—that Bayes be ordered to assign all his interest in the lands to the plaintiffs, and that the two defendants, Edward and William Wudehouse, as such executors of Lord Wodehouse, deceased, be ordered to repay to the plaintiffs what they should have so paid. and also the costs of the suit, and that Bayes should be restrained by injunction from proceeding in an action of ejectment for recovery of the land at Kimberley. Ur. Turner and Mr. Chapman were for the plaintiffs, the company; Mr. Roupell and Mr. Follett for the de fendant, Thomas Bayes; and Mr. Walpole and Mr. Chaundless for the executors of Lord Wodehouse. The case was argued at great length, and occupied the whole of the day, but it was finally ordered to stand over until Saturday for further consideration, and Lord Lang. dale said he would look at the pleadings. COURT OF QUEEIV'6 BENCH, Nov. 23. THE QUEEN V. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.- MANDAMUS. Mr. WATSON, Q.C., and Mr. HEW, appeared to show cause against a rule for a mandamus the defendant s t o command them to complete their railway, in conformity with the plans and sections which they had deposited with the clerk of the peace pursuant to statute. It ap peared that disputes having arisen between the corpo ration of Carlisle and the defendant s as to the con struction of a railway at Carlisle, and p articu l arly with respect to a road and bridge in that city, negot i ations took place between the parties which ended in an ar rangement, on the faith of which the corporation with drew their opposition to the Bill, and it passed through Parliament. Subsequently, however, the defendants deviated from their arrangement, and made the bridge-. way 18 inches higher, and the road much more con- tracted and irregular than had been agreed. upon and had been laid down in the deposited plans end sections. The present rule was then moved for, and the Learned Gen tleman now contended that it must be discharged, be. cause, although the words had not been constructed in conformity with the sections, th e y h a d b een constructed strictly in conformity with the provisions of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., (with whom was Mr. Gregg) was contending that the company were bound by their agree ment and by the sections and plans deposited with the clerk of the peace, when he was stopped by The COURT, who ordered the rule to be made absolute. EMIGRATION.—PLYMOUTH' Nov. 22.—Th ere are in the Sound, th e G overnm , nt Emigration ships, Stead fast, with 1821 statute adults, all well, and the Osprey, with 264 adults, for Sydney; the Cadet, with tem4le convicts for Hobart Town ; and the American two-top sail schooner Crocus, Captain Sturtebanks, with 150 German and other emigrants from Bremen for New York; she was in the Downs on the 13th inst., when the Burgundy, with emigrants From Bremen, was lost. The crocus took shelter in Torbay on the 19th, sad a rrrprietor seeking a profit, than a viceroy looking to tl e happiness and prosperity of his subjects, how much more keenly ought it to be felt and acknowledged by Abbas Fuchs, a man of our own time and epoch, who has had advantages of education, culture, and observa tion, denied to either Mahommed Ali or Ibrahim Pacha, his predecessors. Every traveller who has visited Egypt during the last twenty years concurs in stating, that, notwithstanding the natural advantages of the climate and country, nothing can equal the misery and wretch edness of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied by the most prejudiced of these travellers that Mahommed Ali was in his way, and after his own fashion, a considerable reformer. That he created an army and a navy—that h e introduced telegraphs— that he commenced and extended public works —as, for t xample, the canal from Alexandria to Cairo—that he introduced manufactories of sugar, of saltpetre, and of gunpowder—that ho established cannon foun dries and excavated docks—that he improved roadsteads and harbours—cannot by friend or foe be gainsaid. But, on the other hand, it is equally clear and incontestable that the Fellabs were ground down by a severe and grinding taxation, and that the kingdom wes in a mea sure confiscated to the personal and pecuniary profit of the money-loving and money-making Viceroy. By such means it was that Mahommed accumu:ated immense treasures, and realised immense receipts—receipts which rendered him a wealthy and prosperous Pectin. But, notwithstanding these acquisitions, he must ever be considered by the historian and by posterity as rather a great merchant and successful commercial sre culator, than as a great ruler. Under Lis mercantile sway, Egypt became an immense granary and a huge fabric, in which a species of imperial merchant, manufacturer, and agriculturist, enriched himself at the expense of the country, whose inhabitants he over-taxed, and whose soil be over-farmed, almost to sxhaustion. In the present condition ,of Europe and of the Esst, it becomes the duty of a foreign Minister of Great Britain—instead of wasting his time in a wordy war with Sotomayor, or in a petty personal struggle with Namaez—to turn his eyes towards Egypt —nearer to us now than Vienna was half a century ugo—and to seek to maintain in that country the necessary and . holesome preponderance and protec tion of Great Britain. To other great Powers an influence in Egypt may be useful—to us in Engl end it is indispensa ble; and the Minister who, in t h e present conjuncture of Continental polities, loses his hold on Egypt, deserves impeachment in the face of the Parliament and people of England.- Ia the Rest there is always a disposition to submit to an appearance of strength 7 -and to be coun selled by anything savouring of the prestige of power. As it is the nature of all power to assert and vindicate itself, so never was the occasion fairer or more fitting for Great Britain than at this moment. Let Abbas Paella be made unmistakeably to understand our fixed will—and our earnest wishes—as a question that con cerns his own independent life and existence—and the intrigees of Russia in Wallachia,- Bulgaria, Servia, and Persia, her attempts a t un d ue i n fl uence i n Constan tinople may be disregarded and scorned. We have ten dered fair counsel to the Foreign Secretary. But that Noble Viscount sometimes allows wise words to sleep in his ear, and listens only to the small suggestions of a wrathful vanity.

The private emigration ships—BritanniP, for Port Adelaide, and an: Diamond, for Adelaide and Port Philip, sailed from Plymouth on the 19th inst. DREADFUL FIRES. Yesterday morning, between the boors - of six ard seven o'clock, the neighbourhood of the Kingsland-road was visited . with one of the most destructive fires that have occurred in that locality for a considerable time past. The scene of its operations was in Watts- build ings, near the Canal-bridge, in she Kingsland-road, whereon was erected the exterssive flooteloth and table cover manufactory belonging to Mr.-Lawson. The dis covery was made at a few minutes before seven o'clock; smoke, which some persons saw rising over the roof of the factory, convinced them that some part of the pro perty was in flames. No time was therefore lost in rais ing the necesiary alarm and calling for assistance. Owing to the close preximity of the tenements in Wil mer-gardens and Northampton- street, the most lively apprehensions were entertained for their safety, and forthwith the inmates were aroused from their slumbers and made sensible of the great danger to which their fur niture and dwellings were exposed. The unfortunate occupants, some almost in a state of nudity, with their children in their arms, rushed forth into the open road and begged of the populace to render their assistance in removing their goods to a place of safety. A great many persons immediately welt to- their aid, but be fore the furniture could be rescued the flames fired nu merous houses belonging to the poor creatures. The firemen were enable d, after considerable trouble and at no little personal risk, to extinguish the flames; but al though they laboured without the least. intermission, it was not until nearly 9 o'clock that the fire was ex tinguished. The dsmage done is thus returned to the West of . England Fire-office by Mr. Connorton :—" No. 10, Watts-buildings, Kingsland road, Mr. Lawson, floor cloth.and table- cover maker; the manufactory, including frame-rooms, drying-rooms, and printing-houses, princi pally built of timber, burned down and contents con sumed; building and contents not insured. Wilmer's gardens, Nos, 1 to 10 inclusive, ht out in tenements, all damagei by fire, water, &c.; the buildings are the pro perty of Mr. John Squires, of Oakley, in Leicestershire, and it is unknown whether they are insured or not. Mr. Randell, on the other side of the row; premises burned down; insured in the Sun and Royal Exchange Fire office,. No. 22, Northampton-street; great damage to premises by tire; not insured. Wilmer's-gardens (op posite side), Nes. 18, 29, 30,31, 32, 33,34, 35, 36, and 37, let out in tenemenis; all severely damaged by fire, water, &c.; the furniture extensively damaged by hasty re moval, &c.; the occupiers not insured; buildings not known whether insured or not." List night, between eight and nine o'clock, a fire, which caused consideraWe alarm, broke out upon the pre mises belonging to Mr. Fowler, a carpenter and builder carrying on business in Paulin street, Bermondsey. The flames, when first perceived, were burning in the work ihops and stores, which extended along either side of the yard, and in a few minutes gained head so much that they broke through the roof, and for some time threateited disastrous consequences. Engines were quickly in attendance, and there being a good supply of water, the men succeeded in getting the flames extin guished, not, however, until considerable damage was done to the premises and their contents. How the disaster originated could not be ascertained during the contusion which prevailed. About au hour previously a fire was discovered in the premises occupied by Mr. W. A. Coger, the agent to Messrs. Parker and Co., boot merchants, No. 33, New gate-street. 'lt began in the upper warehouse on the first floor, but owing to the timely assistance of the inmates and firemen from Farringdon-street brigade station the flames were confined to the warehouse in which they originated. A spark from a lighted candle used by some carpenters at work in the warehouse, it is presumed, was the cause of the outbreak. COUNTRY MARKETS. GLASGOW, Nov. 22. Contrary winds have kept out 'oreign arrivals at Grangemouth; coastwise our supplies have been small ; from Ireland we have been fairly provided with oats and flour, and from Canada with about 1,995 quarters of wheat, and 3,807 barrels of flour. The tre,nsactions during the week were in retail for immediate consumption at declining rates, and so long as spring shipments from the continent of Europe aro offering at peseta prices, the value on this side is likely to tend to their level. This day's market was flirty attended by town and country buyers, bat there was apparently little iitclination to do business. Wheat and flour were slowly taken in limited quantities, and have to be written 6d lower per boll or barrel respectively. Barley, both for distilling and grinding purposes, ruled dull, but prices are nominally unaltered. Oats and oat meal attracted little attention, and were the turn in favour of buyers. Beans and peas were easier to purchase. Egyptian beaus 6d cheaper per 2801 b. Of Indian corn and meal our market is nearly bare, and the little on hand is held at previous rates. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 23.—At Gloucester market on the 18th, wheat was is per quarter lower; at Worcester, same day, the trade ruled dull, but, lower prices were not generally submitted to for good qualities. Barley is per quarter cheaper, except file grinding. Oats sold slowly at 6d to is per quarter below former prices. Beans and peas fully maintained their value. During the pre sent week little wheat has been pressed for sale, curise• quently for what has changed hands nearly previous rates were obtained. Heavy grinding barley in demand, all other qualities very unsaleable. Oats offering at 6d to is per quarter reduction. Brans and peas in retail lots realise quite as much money. At this clay's market we had a lair supply of Ishcat. New was is to 2s per quarter lower, whilst old and foreign nearly maintained their value. Grinding barley held for quite as much money, and ht avy qualities in demand. Oats sold slowly at a decline. On brans the turn was in favour of the buyer. Peas 2s per quarter lower. The millers reduced the retail price of flour 3s 4d per sack. BRISTOL, NOV. 23.—Our corn market this week is very restricted and inactive. English wheat is in mode rate supply, and prices have given way abut 2s per quarter; and foreign from is to 2s per 480 lbs. English wheat, old, li4s to 58s per imperial quarter; English new, 443 to 503 ditto; foreign red, fine qualities, 53s to 56s 480 lbs; foreign white, 55s to 60s per 480 lbs; fo reign red; ordinary qualities, 48s to 52a ditto; fcreign hard, 48s to 51s ditto. On flour a decline of is per sack, and from 6d to is per barrel took place; English seconds brought 38s to 40s per suck, and American from 29s to 30s per barrel. Fine malting barley, with large arrivals, is about 2s per quarter cheaper, and middling and inferior qualities quite neglected ; grinding barley in moderate retail call, and unaltered in value; Eng lish malting fetched from 33s to 37a per imperial quarter, and English and foreign grinding from 25s to 28s per 400 lbs. Good new white oats are from 6d to is per quarter lower, and black to unsaleable at the moment that it is almost impossible to quot e values ; the nearest price which could be named is for Irish black, from lOs to 103 6d per barrel. f. o. b. Devon and Welsh feed brought 183 to 18s 6d per imperial quarter; Irish white, 20s to 21s per 3201b5; Irish black, 16s to IBs per imperial quarter. Beans remain in fair demand, with no alteration in value; English must be quoted 40s to 44e per imperial quarter, foreign ditto, 34s to 38s per 480,1a5. The arrivals for the week have been—From Wismar, in the Charles, 740 quarters of peas; from N an t es , i n the Maria Elizabeth, 630 quarters of wheat; from Antwerp, in the John, 467 quarters of wheat; from Nantes, in the Alberti, 612 quarters of wheat; from Waterford, in the. Rose, 400 quarters of oats, 320 barrels ditto, 650 sacks ditto; from Barnstaple, in the Regulator, 250 bushels barley; from Cork, in the Green Isle, 120 quarters oats, 15 barrels ditto, 132 barrels and 50 quarters barley; from Haver fordwest, in the Ellen, 2,200 bushels of oats; from , in the Brothers, 103 quarters 833 bushels oats, 20 quar ters 160 bushels of barley; from London, in the Mans, 740 quarters whcat;. from Cork, in the Juverna, 150 qrs, 200 sacks, 15 barrels of oats, 10 cwt oatmeal; from Dublin, in the Victory, 150 qrs of oats, 20 qrs 80 sacks of barley; from Londea, in the Rover, 81 sacks of peas; from Yarmouth. in the William and Ann, 610 qrs of barley; from Yarmouth, in the Aberva, 560 qrs of barley; from Gloucester, in the Fanny, 500 sacks •t flour; from Yarmouth, in the Richard Hicks, 797 qrs of barley; in the Ocean Queen, 750 qrs of barley; from Liverpool, in the Troubadour, 70 sacks of Indian corn, from Neatb, in the Neath Abbey, 50 sacks of flour; from Bridgwater, in the Active, 50 tacks of flour, betides smaller parcels. The averages for the week, according to the return of the inspector, have been—wheat, 49s I Is ; oats, 20s sd; barley, 325 I Id; beans, 36s 9d. SHEFFIELD, Nov. 21.—The following is the in spector's return:— Qrs. Ms. X s. d. X s. d. Wheat 229 1 • ... 623 8 2 214 5 per qr. Oats . Beans 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ditto Peas . Best household bread, 6d per 41b. Second's ditto 5d do. LEPTON FAlL—This fair was well supplied with all kinds of stock. Fat beef made 5d per lb; mutton, 6d to 61d, and many sheep went away unsold. Barren cows were much in request. Fat pigs fetched 9s per score. There were but few sten, pigs in the fair. The show of horses was small, and of an inferior kind. SHAFTESBURY (BEASTS AND HORSES) FAIR, NOV. 23. —Beasts—There were more than usual of lean cattle, from the western and surrounding counties, as well as out of North and South Wales ; trade for all sorts of large beasts ran slack and much lower. Dealers declare they never knew so great a fall in so short a time as they have experienced since the beginning of last October, many of their largest Devons and Short Horns being worth less by 31 per head now than what was given for them then : there were some sold, yet many left without changing masters. Fine three-years old oxen sold at 111 to 121 each, others at from 9/ to 101 ditto; neat black cattle, at from 6l to 71 ditto; fine heifers, near calving, at 12/ ditto; some as low as 101 ditto. Cows in calf with their third at 14/ to 151 ditto; 6 months calves, at 3/ to 41; 1 month, 20s ditto. Horses—Although the show of good warranted horses was a small one, there were many second rate and inferior animals; yet to sell even the best great reduc tions had to be submitted to. Fine five and six years old carriage, coach, or hunting horses, sixteen hands or more, were not worth so much by 101 each as they would have made two months since; and as for second rate aged and inferior, their real present value we could not aicertain. Strong cart and dray horses were also offered at reduced prices. The Salisbury and Yeovil line con nected with the South-Western Railway being suspended has thrown a great number of strong horses out of work, and forced the contractors to sell at a great reduction; some this day, which cost within the last - twelve months from 351 to 40/ each, were offered at from 221 to 25/ ditto, and then they did not find purchasers. ROMSEY (HANTS) FORTNIGHTLY LARGE FAT CAT TLE MARKET, Nov. 23.—Best fat beef sold at los• to lOs 3d - per score; moderate - ditto, 9s 6d to 93 9,1 dittor best calves, 103 6d to 103 9d ditto; others at 103 to 108 3.1 ditto. Best pens of down wethers reached As 8d to 4s 10d per stone; large half-bred sheep, 4s 4d to . 4s 6d oi to; «mall dairy-fed porkers; 10s 6d to lOs 9d per scoi e; large Hampshire bacon hogs, weighing from 1201bs to 1601bs each, 104 to lOs 3d ditto. Lean stock sold slowly. Cows and heifers in poor demand. Stock sheep sold about the prices given at fairs last week. Best storeho s 2s each lower. CROYDON CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 23.—There was rather more business done at this market yesterday than for several w*eks past, but with very little improvement in pricey. The supply being large from the lower parts of Surrey and Sussex, conveyed by the Brighton Rail way, trade was exceedingly heavy. Sheep, good south down, 4s to 4s 6d per stone of 8 lbs; the interior of all other descriptions sold slowly from 3s to 3s 6d ditto; veal, prime small, 3s 10d to 4s 2d ditto; large coarse, 3s to 34; 4d ditto; pigs of about ten stone weight, 4s 6 , 1 to 54 per stone; large ditto, 3s 6d to 4s; strong stores, 25s to 30s pi r head; email pgs from the sow, 9s to 12s each.

On Thursday and Friday last frost recurred with a severity which eli wreathed the low grounds in their win ter livery, and capped rather thickly elevations where ever considerable, in all directions. But however stiff the ground and slippery the public roads, ploughing went forward after the breakfast hour, at least over the freer soils of Nithsdale, easily as we can fancy retarda tion in all back settlement, and low-lying situations. On Saturday a moderate thaW supervened, which continued throughout Sunday ; and on both occasions the moun tains changed colours so fast, that they are now merely diversified by patches saddened in clefts—positions not easily affected by the suns vertical rays. Yesterday morning, however, cranreuch was again abundant, and stagnant water frozen; and, while we write, every one feels the cold increasing, apart from the more accurate intormation derived from thermometers outside the win dow. The barometer, on the other hand, forms so far a puzzle of which we know not well w h at to ma k e. F or nearly a week it has dung to the highest figure in the scale, and although there may be at present a fractional tendency to yielding, it is too slight to justify prognosti cation as to what will happen next. For the last ten days the wind was never lower in our recollection ; in land hardly a breath to ripple the surface of streams, whatever may be the state or matters on the coast. This of itself is a fortunate circumstance, so great is the clif f, rence, as regards temperature, between stillness and agitation in the air; and, altogether, we have no reason as yet to complain of the weather. Favourable as were the opportunities last week, very little manure was removed from the heaps to the open fields, partly from use and wont, and more from, the ab &nce of pressing necessity in the second week of No vember. One department of labour, however, was dili gently plied—topping and storing turnips for stall feeding; and thus preparing holms, perfectly free from weeds, for receiving winter wheat seed—gentle stirrings with the plough and harrows being the one light dress ing required. Turnip- fed sheep have " taken-on" re markably well of late, one of the advantages of a dry bed at night—a greater essential in the case of white stock than black, from the nature of the fleece and its ten dency to become draggled by rain and mud. Around town the bulbs in some fields are entirely eaten down ; in others a half, a third, and E 0 on; and if the present weather hold a week or two longer, grain cropping will be in progress where turnips grew in the course of a very few days. Altogether, there is every prospect at present of a much greater breadth of winter wheat being harrowed in before Christmas than was found possible last year, and of consequence, proportionally less falling back on spring. From a friend who attended professionally the last Doune market, we learn that, large as the numbers were, the prices current at the preceding Falkirk were with ease maintained, if not a little more—a remark as applicable to cattle as sheep. Would that we could say the same of St. Faith's, which, whether in its beginning, middle, or end, sadly disappointed the expectations of dealers; and perhaps left them, afar all their trouble, losers rather than gainers on the whole; although, we trust, not to any damaging extent. The Hemptons commence on the 20th curt.; and, for the drovers' sakes, as well as those they buy from, the issues, we fondly hope, will be more favourable.
