POLISH EXILES. (From the Polish Kronika, Oct. lri.) The - Muscovite Government proceeds with unabated zeal in its internal scheme of exterminating its Polish po pulation. By a late ukase a levy of recruits was ordered to be me .de in the soi-disant kingdom of Poland, in the proportl'.m of 24 in 1,000 of the male population, which is nearly tbe double of that levied under the Grand Duke Cone.antine's regime. Soon after, and during a consider abl'e tim‘announcements after announcements were read in the Warsaw Universal .Tournal offering tenders for krnishiog the Government with military cloaks, caps, uni forms, &c. Some miglat imagine that those articles were required to clothe the recruits who had already been lev;.ed conformably to the above ukase. By no means. We have just received intelligence from a well-authenticated'ouarter, that those uniforms are preparing for the Poles var., had not yet 'been enrolled, and who are thought fit for enlistment ; tb.ey are doomed to become 'Russian recruits, because it !pleased the Muscovite Government to declare them "as -persons wanting employment." The mimber of such indi viduals, to judge from the uniforms already prepared, amounts to about 3,000 men. Nicholas, therefore, within the space of one. year, has converted 10,000 of the Polish youth to increase the number of his soldiers and his slaves. This must be a great drain upon a population amounting to less than 4,000,300. The orders of the Government for supplies of uniforms have always been ominous. The transport of children was regularly prerieded by a requi sition for supplies of a certain number of clothes for those unhappy objects df the paternal care of the northern despot. AUSTRIAN GALICIA, OCT. Not long ago two in -habitants of Poland, who had no part in the late Polish re volution, and who therefore were entitled to be regarded by the 'Emperor Nicholas as under protection, had entered into a written agreement, in virtue of which the one, Mr. M—, purchased of the other, Mr. P—, a considerable estate, situate in Galicia (Austrian Poland), taking upon himself to clear the debts with which the estate was , charged, and to pay the remainder by annual instalments into the hands of its owner. By virtue of the contract, of the validity of which nobody could doubt, Mr. M— spared no trouble, in order to free his new estate of any burdens, in finding out Mr. P—'s creditors, even those in remote places, and laid out upwards of 1,500,000 Polish florins in discharging them. One formality, however, re mained to be cloue on the part of Mr. M—, which was the registering the estate in the name of the purchaser into the registration-books at Lemberg, the seat of the Govern ment of Galicia, but on presenting himself before the Ma gistrates of the town, to his great surprise he learned that the , contract behad conclpded was null anclovoid, and, , ,tlP - A it:0410 ( 41A carried - into effect, as there existed a seefet artic i lg"`peVe!::ppinnii,tel - , but still hinding,.wh'ch vva::s•said to: havel6eefi agne'cl. to 4 . the 'igh parties!.at.2duneheo gratt by ~, ; h70),. al t umo c t 4 ot t the kingdom of:Volandlweee: prohnited f'ro 'm acqUiy.ing estates in Galicia. —,Thas the agreement was canceled ; Mr. P— then resumed the posj session of his estate, while Mr. M— was compelled, con trary to his expectation, to become Mr. P—'s creditor." DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. ADDRESS TO THE KING. THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—T0-day the united deputa tions of the two Chambers of the States-Ger.eral, with Count de Reede, President of the First Chamber, at its head, presented to his !Majesty the following address, in answer to the speech frees the Throne : " Sire—lt is always, with feeling of satisfaction that the States-General, at th•: opening of their session, offer to your Majesty the tribute of their respect and their attachment. They rejoice at the opportunity of again doing so to-day, and express their gratitude for the communications which they have received from your Majesty on this occasion. If, on the one hand, they have learned with satisfaction from those communications that our relations with foreign Towers are of an amicable nature, on the other hand they _must lament that the political situation of the kingdom, in - respect to the interruption of tbe relations betweert the Netherlands and Belgian', has ' not yet undergone any change, and that there is no favourable prospect of arranging speedily and wit'a digrAty.these relations, which becomes more and more necessary to the nation. " They rejoice in the well-known intentions of your Ma jesty to rend►,r the burthens of these extraordinary circum stances less sensible, and they congratulate themselves in this point of view that your Majesty's wish to relieve the tax-payers is favoured by the increase of our East India pro gluet,!. The extension of furloughs to the greatest possible degree, and the disbanding of part of the militia, will also greatly contribute to this result, and give the States-Gene ral the assurance that every thing will be done to lessen the burthens of the nation. With your Majesty we appre ciate the grounds 14. gratitude afforded by the internal situa tion of the kingdom with respect to the good harvest, to the progress of our manufactures, the increasing activity of maritime conwierce and navigation, the satisfactory result of the fisheries, the zealous cultivation of the arts and sci ences, and lastly, the opportunities which all these circum stances afford to the men who have left the army of obtain ing their livelihood by profitable employment. " We arc also grateful that our dikes and other bulwarks have not materially suffered during the past year. " We are happy in the assurances given us by your Ma jesty that order and regularity continue to prevail in our in ternal administration, that our army and navy continue to give the most laudable proofs of discipline and zeal, and that the improvement of the internal communications by means of canals and roads is an object of the constant solicitude of the Government. " We have at the same time received with satisfaction your Majesty's communications concerning the tranquillity 'which our transmarine possessions enjoy ; and we look for ward with the most livcly interest to the communications which your Majesty announces respecting our East Indian dominions. " The favourable prospects which your Majesty holds out respecting several subjects connected with the Budget encourage us in the examination of the provincial laws pre sented to us, in considering which we shall pay attention both to the interest of the tax payers, and to those of the Treasury and public credit. " We shall also endeavour duly to weigh the interests of agriculture and commerce in deliberating on the measures proposed by your Majesty to better the situation of the far mers, who are suffering from the present state of things. " The legislative regulations for the cultivation of waste lands which we have to expect from your Majesty will pro vide for a want which has long been felt. " Your Majesty will find us always ready to co-operate with zeal in hastening the wished-for completion of our na-: tional Legislature by the conclusion of the several codes. " Like your Majesty, having our eyes to Divine Provi dence, and jointly labouring in everything that may promote the welfare of the nation which we represent, we cherish the hope that, preserving its present privileges, it will speedily obtain the recognition of its just rights, and the accomplish ment of its equitable wishes." The deputation that presented the above address reported that his Majesty had been pleased to return the following answer : " That his Majesty beheld with joy the unanimity of the sentiments expressed in this address by the States-General ; that he again learnt with satisfaction their ardent desire to co-operate in promoting the public welfare ; and that he implored the divine blessing on their deliberations, that they, combined with his own efforts, may tend to the good cf the country, and the prosperity of the worthy inha bitants." Several petitions were then presented, one of which from Colonel Gustayson (the ex-King of Sweden) again com plains of the Courts of Justice in our country. The public sitting being ended, the Chamber formed it self into a secret Committee, in which it is said a communi cation was made by the Government respecting the state of our colonies and their revenues. (From the Augsburgh Gazette of the 27th ult.) VIENNA, Om 20.—The Constantinople mail of the 7th brings the news which we had received before of the submission of Scutari and the pacification of Albania. The Sultan had sent a Tartar to the Vizier of Rumelia to ex press his satisfaction at the result of the expedition, and to recommend him to act with clemency, as the Government could not but wish that only the actual authors of the suffering to which all had been exposed should be punished. We may, therefore, suppose that no re-action is to be feared, and few or no persons will be punished, as it has not yet been discovered who are, properly speaking, the authors of the troubles. This happy change in the man ners of the Turks, who but lately . were used after victory to treat their disarmed enemies without mercy (as in the Greek war), is a proof of the progress of civilizatiom among them. New instructions have been sent to the Ot toman squadron on the Albanian coast ; it was believed that it would go to Tripoli. The foreign Ambassadors have been informed that the blockade of the coast of Al bania ceases from the Ist of next month. Count Strogo noff, who was sent by the Emperor Nicholas to compliment King Otho on his accession, has arrived at Constantinople on his return, and been presented to the Sultan. It was known that Lord Durham had arrived at Odessa, where he intended to make as short a stay as possible, and then pro ceed without delay to St. Petersburgh. He will therefore scarcely accomp an y th e E m p eror on hi s t our i n th e southern provinces, and not have the honour of paying his respects to him till after his return to St. Petersburgh. (From the Journal de FranAjbrt of the 24th ult.) FRANKFORT, OcT. 23.—We have read with extreme surprise in several German journals an article dated Berlin, October 19, which says, that among the measures resolved on at Toplitz was one by which the military force of the German States is to be considered one army, under the command, not of the States themselves ,but of the Confede- ration jointly, and that t he Leg r illative Assemblies were to I have nothing to do with discus: ing the Budget of the War Department. The answer to this tale is eas77. Our correspondent at Toplitz, who is ye ry v ;ell info rre - ed, gives it in the following sentence, which Ive give wo r d for word : " You may affirm, witkoul . fear of being mistaken, that in the conferenccos at ToPD z no question whatever relative to Gerwasbrougroghlt; forward." ndless report is, that the great question 'of literary itroT ~ erty in Germany was discussed at Anothery equally Topaz. 'this is a question in which the German Confederation alone is concerned ; rr e repeat it, no German question was or could be examined at Toplitz. Such questions belong to the Confederation, ar ,d everybody knows that there was no representative of the Confederation at Toplitz. The Memorial de •la Sombre observes, that the late ordi nance of the King 4 of the French, ma!dng various Changes in the tariff of irr 4 'oft duties, conte:lns several regulations that are of great ..;,,mportanee to P,elgium. The first is the extension given to the line of 'Frontier by which our cast iron may enter France at the, minimum duty, by which the difference for - o ur i ron will 1 - , o .55 per cent., and besides this, as it may no.,v be importer - 1 into France by the Sombre and the Meuse., the expence s of carriage will undergo an enor mous reduction.

Count Woronzoff having a few days previously left town, Lord • Durham addressed a letter to the Vice-Governor, complain ing of the unceremonious and unexpected breach of etiquette, and requeSting an explanation. In answer to this mote, the Vice-Governor observed, that as the Pluto on her arrival into port hoisted neither -pendant nor any one of the three. flags distinctive of the British navy,- - -- as it had neither guns on board nor any of the ex ternal appearances of a man of-war, he had been led to consider it as a private vessel, and to presume that Lord Durham's intentions were on his arri val to keep the incognito. In answer to this note, Lord Durham begged to be informed whether the Russian Go vernment did not consider the British Admiralty flag, which the Pluto hoisted, entitled to a salute ? The Vice- Governor replied by assuring his Lordship that the Admi ralty flag of England having never before appeared in the Black Sea, he had hitherto been perfectly unacquainted with it. Doubts, he added, might be started as to the pro priety of saluting a flag hoisted in a foreign port only on transports belonging to the British Government ; but out of deference for Lord Durham's opinion, he preferred at once abiding by his wishes, and would without further delay order its being saluted. Neither these apologies nor the salute succeeded in satisfying the noble Earl. It is said be sent on shore despatches to the Emperor's address, and also to Count Woronzoff's, requesting th , . Vice-Governor to forward them by a messenger at the British Embassy's expense. These despatches arc of course supposed to contain a report on the mode of his reception at Odessa. _ It would appear that the quarantine director sought to subject not only every one of -the persons belonging to the embassy, but the Ambassador himself, to the revolting and indecent ordeal of the Spogiio. No one but a Russian can patiently allow his person to be submitted to the search as prescribed by the sanatory regulation:, of that country, yet no traveller passing from Turkey into Russia is allowed to enter the precincts of the Lazard without fully satisfying the curiosity of these plaguy investigations. Vessaf Effendi returned from Scodra on the 3d inst., and went directly on his arrival to the palace of the Sultan, who received him with much kindness. A magnificent decora tion in brilliants was awarded him as recompense for his services. Vessaf Effendi is said to be the bearer of documents which prove beyond doubt the connexion existing between Mehemet Atli and the Albanian rebels. The Greek patriarchate has, during the last week, been the theatre of the most violent dissensions between the Pa triarch and the membCrs of the synod. The dispute between the holy father and the 12 archbishop rose to so scanda lous a pitch on Saturday, that after insulting him in the.most opprobrious terms, ten out of the number said to his face that they could no longer recognize him as chief of the ortho dox church, and declared him to be an antichrist usurper. On leaving the patriarchate, they convoked an assembly, where every influential Fanariot was invited, and signed a petition to the Porte, soliciting the deposing of a man whom the Greek nation declared unworthy of acting any longer as their spiritual chief. It is not known yet what determination the Sultan will adopt, the present Patriarch being a man who possesses the con fidence of the Turkish Ministry, owing not only to the probity of his character, but also to the proofs he has given of not being, like his predecessor, devoted to the interests of Russia. These motives led the Sultan, a year ago, to propose him to the Synod's approbation, as successor of Constantios,'who, on ascertaining that the Porte had ac quired the conviction of the intimacy of his connexions with Russia, had the good sense to solicit his release from office. ' It is to be hoped that the Sultan will on this occasion dis play firmness of character, and not allow himself to be in timidated by the threats of Russia. The question about to be decided is highly important to Turkey and to Russia. It is to know whether the political feelings of the Greek clergy and its Chief are to be Russian or Turkish. M. Boutenieff is fully aware of its importance. Confident that the intrigues and gold of his party would secure success to his cause, he hitherto kept himself in the back ground, but lately he has thought it necessary to rush himself into the thickest of the fight. He has reminded the Porte of the article in the treaty of Kinardj, which stipulates that the administration of the spiritual affairs of the Greek church is to remain entirely independent of the Porte, and solely in trusted to the direction of the Synod. Baron Strogonoff has just arrived from Athens. Bagdad, according to the intelligence received in Syria, bad for some time been the scene of daily frays between the Bedouins and the Sultan's troops. The Pasha had with drawn his forces from the portion of the town situate on the western banks of the Tigris, and abandoned it to the rebels. He had applied for assistance to Redschid Pasha, whose head-quarters are now at Moussoul. Two regiments are shortly to be sent from Constantinople to reinforce his army. It appears certain that the troubles in Mesopo tamia are chiefly fomented by Mehemet Ali's agents. His object evidently is unceasingly to occupy an attention which might prove fatal to his designs, were it to be permitted to concentrate itself against him. Ibrahim openly avows that he has his eye on Bagdad, and that his first step, on being attacked by the Sultan, will be to annex this possession to his dominions. _ _ _ Colonel Chesney is yet at Bir, gradually recovering from the effect of a coup de soled, which placed his life in the most imminent danger. His negotiations with the Arab wandering tribes had hitherto been highly unsatisfactory. They are decidedly averse to the steam-navigation of the Euphrates, and in fact to every innovation tending to in troduce civilization in the country. They have expressed the determination of impeding the passage of the river by throwing rocks in its bed. The condition of Ibrahim's army is far superior to that of the Sultan's. The spirit which animates it is represented as highly favourable to Ibrahim's designs. The means which he has studiously employed to impede the formation of good intelligence between the Syrians and his soldiers have suc ceeded admirably, perhaps beyond his expectations. The most cordial hatred exists between them. The impression under which every soldier hourly lives of being encamped in an enemy's country, watching an opportunity to satisfy his revenge, has caused him to identify his interests with those of his commanders, and to appreciate the necessity of dis cipline and union. Ibrahim neglects none of the means tending to improve his army, and conciliate the attachment of the men. The Egyptians, who formerly could not be promoted beyond the rank of lieutenant, owing to a late re gulation, may aspire also to the rank of major and captain. Ibrahim had lately received from Europe the accoutrements necessary for the formation of a regiment of cuirassiers. Ibrahim's administration in Syria continues to be as op pressive as it has been for the last two years. The inhabi tants of the villages are hourly torn away from their occu pations, and subjected to corvoes, without receiving any re muneration for their labour, save blows.

TE-IE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1.835 ordered several hundreds of these unfortunate men to work at the coal-mine which has been discovered in the vicinity of Beirout. Its coal is said to be superior to that found at Coumi, in Negropont. These discoveries will materially increase the facilities of steam navigation in the Mediter- ranean. It is said that a considerable treasure has been discovered by Ibrahim in one of the passes of Mount Taurus. The coins arc of the times of the Crusades. It is supposed to have formed part of the military chests belonging to the Frank army, and to have been abandoned, to prevent its falling into the hands of the Saracen pursuers. OLD BAILEY-(SATURDAY.) Aaron Cohen, aged thirty-five, was indicted for receiv ing seventy sacks, the property of Samna Kidd, knowing them to have been stolen. The Jury returned a verdict of acquittal. We understand that no fewer than seventy witnesses of the greatest repectability were in attendance, for the purpose of speaking to the prisoner's general good character. Charles Campbell, late box-keeper at the Adelphi Theatre, was indicted for obtaining the sum of 1401. from James Perring, hat-manufacturer in the Strand, by false representations. /kir. C. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson conducted the pro secution : Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Bodkin the defence. The prosecutor stated, that in February last the defen dant called upon him and requested him to discount two bills, one for 1001., and the other for 401., both purport ing to be drawn by William Ledlie of London, upon John Vaugham, of Kingsdown, near Bristol, at two months, from January 31, 1835. In answer to questions put by witness, the defendant stated that the drawer was a respect able wine-merchant of the city of London, who was also well known on the Continent, and that the acceptor was a merchant in Bristol. Witness discounted the bills, which were both made payable at Messrs. Hoare and Co's., bankers of London, upon the faith of these representations, and took 71. for so doing. He paid the bills away to Messrs. Bowler and Co..hatters, of Nelson-square, and when they became due they were returned dishonoured. Witness applied to the defendant, who afterwards showed him a letter, purporting to come from the drawer at Bath, and addressed to the defendant at Peele's Coffee-house, London. It stated, that owing to the depreciation of West India property, and the non-arrival of-an expected vessel at Bristol, he had been unable to meet the bills. This letter was dated April 5, and arrived in London, ac cording to the post mark, on the 10th of the same month. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Had known the defendant five or six years, and had discounted bills for him to the amount of 1,4001. Generally took more than five per cent. discount. Had caused the prisoner to be taken into custody twice before on this affair. Had sworn that the defendant offered to show,him a letter from the drawer of the bill, which he would not peruse, because he had full confidence in the defendant. Mr. Anomius objected that this fact disproved the false representation, and therefore there was an end of the case. The COURT ruled that the trial should proceed. Mr. J. Sircum, collector of the assessed taxes at Kings down for the last"l,s4yeareiutlitpbledl 7thati bwknerw householder, lodger, nor anyvesogickt,44,9o,3ll,l during all that period. • " ; Robert Tupfiqld " wn gave similar , pes o o o , evidence. _ ' Mr: George Knapp, 2:2 years a wine-merchant in the city of Lnpfloy, stated that be ,nevey knew any such. person as the drawer in the trade,- - or any oiher person of thetame of Ledlie - in'tho city. - - A "leek in-`Wright's irankie-honsco Henriett,p,street z : Covent-garden, proved the payment of a check for 1401., drawn by the prosecutor and made payable to the defendant. A clerk to Mr. Withers, a notary-public, proved the presentation of the bills at the banking house. of Messrs. Hoare, Barnett, and Co. It was then proved, in cross-examination, that there were two bankers of the name of Hoare and Co., one in Lom bard- street, and the other in Fleet-street. The bills were presented at the first-named house. Mr. ADOLPHUS was about to proceed with the defence, when The Jury stopped the case, on the ground that the bills had not been presented at both banking-houses, and ac quitted the defendant. Mr. C. PHILLIP 3 applied to the Court for the expenses of the prosecution. The RECORDER allowed them to all those witnesses who had been compelled to attend by subpoena, but refused them to the prosecutor. He did not feel justified in show ing any encouragement to such a prosecution. SENTENCES.—The Sessions having terminated, the Re corder entered the Court at eight o'clock in the evening, accompanied by the Sheriffs, Aldermen Brown, Kelly, &c., in order to pass sentence upon those prisoners who had not received judgment during the Sessions. DEATH.—hmes Carter, for a burglary; John Wade, for shooting at Thomas Hughes, with intent to kill him ; and William Welbourn for a burglary. Wade said that he was in liquor at the time he fired the pistol, and that he did not re member anything about it. TO BE TRANSPORTED FOR. " LlFE.—William Hall, William Egerton, Thomas Field, Sophia Jenkins alias Edwards (the two latter for coining), and William Owen. Field said there was a great variance between the depositions and the evidence adduced against him at the trial. The Recorder advised him if he had anything material to state to forward a petition to the Secretary of State. _ FOR FOURTEEN YEARs.—Godley Lewis (for robbing his employer), and Benjamin Coben (for receiving stolen goods.) FOR SEVEN YEARS.— John Bayley, Robert Bruce, alias Dc Bruce (for bigamy), Thomas Jones, alias Ashford, Robert Roberts, Elias Jacobs, John Low, Henry Bond, Mary Golding, John Newman, John Budgill, Mary Budgill, Joseph Barker, John Carter, Thomas Doss, George Easton, John Anderson, George Williams, John Rawlins, George Clarke, Thomas Roe, John Welting, Mary Hatton, alias Perring, Susan Templeton, William Orchard, alias John Alderson, Edward Godfrey, Robert M'Gowan, Arthur Crump, Edward Jacques. Susan Fitzgerald, Thomas Salmon, Thomas Jones Benjamin Adams, Benjamin Smith, Cornelius Slade, Robert Strike, Charles Peat, John Sheen, and Henry Bat. TO BE IMPRISONED ONE YEAR IN THE HOUSE OF COR RECTION, AND KEPT TO HARD LABOUR.—J, Lyons (for coin ing), B. Fuller, Elizabeth Hawkins, William Masters, Wil liam Clements. FOR NINE MONTHS.—Williain Newman. FOR SIN MONTHS.—Garrett Dowling, John Blake, Henry Dove, James OxOn, Abraham Lewis, Wm. Cole, Thomas Humphries, William Humphries, John Williams, Thomas Shephard, Martin Harthill, Gerald Barry, William Jones and William. Flower. FOR THREE MONTHS —Esther Coster, Wm. Lures, Anne Phelps, Charles Kersey, Sarah Simkins, Sarah George, Elizabeth Murray, Henry Gearing, John Gingle, and George Barton. Fon Two MONTHS.—Ann Fyler, Thomas Lowden (in New gate), and James Clarke. Fon ONE :MONTH.—Elizabeth Watson and Thos. Harris. FOR FOURTEEN DAYS.—Robert Scott (in Newgate.) Fort TEN DAYS.—John Williams, and Henry Warden (in Newgate.) The judgment of the Court upon Ann Mack and Rosetta Hanner was respited until the next session. The RECORDER, in addressing those prisoners who were sentenced to transportation, observed, that the law respect ing transported convicts had undergone great alteration, and made / the punishment much more severe than it for merly was. They would have to labour hard in a distant country, in no case for a less period than four years. How ever good their behaviour might be, the Governor of the colony to which they would be sent had no longer this power to remit any portion of their punishment except in cases of illness. The Court then adjourned till Monday (this day), when the Judges will meet and fix the days for holding the ses sions for the ensuing year. FATAL CATASTROPHE. (Abridged from the Leeds Intelligencer.) About a quarter past seven o'clock last Wednesday even ing a severe shock, accompanied by a loud and sudden noise was felt at the village of Holbeck, near Leeds, and for a considerable distance around. An explosion had taken place in the house of William Wood, firework maker at Holbeck, and a barrel and a half of gunpow der, with a large number of newly made squibs had taken fire and blown up. Almost every house in the yard in which Wood's house stood had the windows and frames blown in by the force of the explosion, and in one of the houses, which had windows on both sides, after the window had been forced in one side by the gunpow der, the window on the other side was forced in by the pressure of the atmospheric air without, the explosion having suddenly created a vacuum in the room. Wood's house and the two which have been blown up with it stood at the entrance of a yard, and the buildings on each side have suffered materially. On one side the roof of a house occupied by a clothier named Walker was partially forced in. Walker and another person were at work at their looms, and on observing the squibs flying about in Wood's chamber they began to make their es cape, but Walker was caught by the falling slates, and was obliged to call in assistance before he could be ex tricated. His wife, however, was killed by the explosion. The roof and wall of a maltkiln in the occupation of Mr. Ambler, on the opposite side of the yard, was forced in, but no loss of life was there sustained, although the damage to the building is extensive. It appears to have originated in something like careless ness on the' part of a young woman who was employed by Wood as an assistant in his business. She was priming squibs up stairs, by a lighted candle, which it was usual to snuff with a pair of scissors, and so far as it can be ascer tained it was the snuff of the candle which caused the sad catastrophe. When the squibs bad ignited she attempted to beat them out, but the combustible nature of the sur rounding mass prevented her efforts from b e i ng succ es s ful, and her dress having caught fire she ran down stairs, and all the people below ran out of the house and escaped, with the exception of Wood's wife, who ran up stairs to see what was amiss, and called for some water. Before she could have well got up stairs, however, the squibs had communi cated to the gunpowder barrels at the other end of the room, and the explosion was the work of an instant. Woods's wife was buried in the ruins, and was not dug out till the forenoon of the next day. A poor woman named Stephenson, who occupied one of the adjoining houses, also , fell a sacrifice with her sucking infant. An old man and woman named Stead, who lived in the other house; were both severely injured. Stead had been confined to his bed of paralysis for several months ; his head was severely Cut with the falling materials, and the flames set fire to his ben clothes at the foot, but he had no power of withdrawing himself. He lingered till near noon on Thursday, and then expired, and his wife now remains in an almost hopeless state, though somewhat improved. At two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Lofthouse, the Coroner for. the borough of Leeds, held an inquest at the house of Mr. John Smith, the Irwin's Arms, Holbeck, on the bodies of the five unfortunate persons who were then dead, namely, Mary Stephenson, the wife of Samel Stephen son, and their infant, Joseph Stephenson, Elizabeth Walker, the; wife of James Walker ; Hannah Wood, the wife of Wrn. Wood, the firework-maker ; and Joseph Stead, the paralytic old man. After evidence was adduced at half-past nine o'clock, the inquiry was adjourned to two the next day, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The fore man added that the Jury were of opinion that they would be guilty of a dereliction of their duty if they did not strongly censure the conduct of Wood, not only for keeping so large a quantity of gunpowder in his house, but also for the careless manner in which he appeared to have con ducted the business. Wood was then recalled, and informed by the Coroner of the observation of the Jury ; and it was also intimated to him that the authorities were disposed to prevent the fur ther prosecution of fire-work making in the village. THE LATE TRAGEDY IN THE EDGEWARE-ROAD. The circumstances connected with the murder of the boy Stanynought by his father, at his house in the Edgeware road must be fresh in the recollection of the public. It will also be remembered that the perpetrator of the deed in flicted on himself a deep wound in the side, and that he took his trial for the wilful murder of his boy at the Ses sions of the Central Criminal Court , / when the Jury, after a very short inquiry, were unanimous in their verdict that he committed the act while in a state of mental derangement. It was then signified by the Judge that the penalty which the prisoner would have to undergo would be confinement during his Majest* pleasure. Instead of being removed forthwith to a lunatic asylum, it was decided upon at the earnest solicitations of his friends that he might be per mitted to occupy an apartment in Newgate, which he ac cordingly did, and, for several weeks appeared tolerably ,'Obeerful.

The . sufferer, however, by the prompt attention of a surgeon, has fatu natelv completely recovered, but is still exceedingly de jected. There are at the present period, in addition to Stanynought, a number of other persons of unsound minds confined in Newgate ; and in consequence of the apartments now engrossed by them being required for other purposes, an application upon the subject has been made to the proper authorities, and it is now understood that the whole of the insane prison inmates will in the course of a few days be delivered up to the care of their friends, on a satisfactory assurance being given that they (the prisoners) shall be confined in some other fit place, and there be kept under such restraint as in their respective cases may be deemed necessary. Mrs. Stanynought, ever since the meloncholy end of her child, has been living at Richmond with her sister, and her health is gradually getting worse. Up to this period, strange as it may seem, she is not aware that the poor boy fell a sacrifice to the fury of his deluded and unfortunate father. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER. The season has been marked with continually recurring fluctuations of the weather ; little or nothing of the peculiar geniality which sometimes characterises the month of October has existed, if we except the 4th and two following days, when the weather was beautifully serene. Less rain has fallen than in September, but the absence of sunshine has been remarkable. The barometer has usually been low, rarely higher than 29 inches 70, sometimes below 29 inches ; but the weather has not been stormy, nor have we, till within the last week, experienced any of the gales termed " equinoctial," but which of late years have occurred two or three weeks later than the period of the autumnal equinox (September 21 or 22). The thermometer has been rather low, and there have been several severe white frosts, as on the 19th, 20th, and 21st. The instrument showed 30 degrees at 11 o'clock p.m. of the 19th, and 28 degrees (that is four degrees of frost) at 7 a.m. of the 20th inst. ; rainy nights have succeeded the frosty mornings, and these phenomona have now occurred three several times. It has been a saying among the " weather-wise" of ordinary observers, that if rain follow three white frosts, the succeeding winter will be mild and wet. Our own obser vations have been particularly directed to the equinoctial periods for many years past, for we well recollect the re marks of a clergyman in Kent, ,who has recently deceased, and can assuredly assert that the criterion he afforded us has Sailed in scarcely one individual instance. If (between the 20th and 25th September) the wind blow from some quarter between west and south, the weather inclined to be rainy, and the air be mild and soft, the winter succeeding will partake of these equinoctial characters, and in general be wet and mild. If, on the contrary, the equinox be accompa nied with keen northerly winds and a dry state of atmos 7 .phere, the winter will be frosty. The prognostics of the ensuing winter (to speak locally) lead us, therefore, to ex pect open weather, with a prevalence of southerly winds and rain. How and in what way the equinoxes operate to govern the weather of the greater part of the ensuing half year, we may never be permitted to ascertain. Experience and close observation seem, however, to have placed the fact beyond the reach of reasonable doubt. In the ab sence, therefore, of a knowledge of causes, we may be permitted to hazard the conjecture that, at the period when the sun shines perpendicularly upon the equator, illuminat ing the two hemispheres, so as to equalise the day and night throughout the world, the electro-magnetism of our planet, and of its satellite the moon, may be so regulated by the sun's electrising principle, as to induce a peculiar state or modification which shall predominate during the greater part of the ensuing half year, and govern the course of the atmospherical currents. The weather of the six last weeks, though ungenial to the feelings, has been, upon the whole, favourable to agri culture ; the ground has been brought to a free open con dition, and ploughing has proceeded regularly. We never saw the land turn up better ; but we speak with local refe rence, for much, of course, must depend upon the natural qualities of a soil. Wheat sowing progresses. In the western parts of Berkshire and in Bucks, the seed has been in the ground some weeks, and the blade has sprouted ; in other parts it is not so forward, and though the roots are formed, the blade has not yet risen. In the eastern parts of Kent, wheat season will not generally commence till November. Turnips, we are sorry to perceive, are not improved ; the first sown are in patches, the second sowings, made about the close of the dry weather, and which ought to have formed healthy, though small bulbs, have fallen under the attacks of that grub which has been the pest of the year. The insect has attacked the plants at the collar, broken the connection between the leaves and the bulb, and conse quently destroyed both. The best plots of late-sown turnips which we have seen is formed upon small ridges, about 30 inches or a yard asunder. The manure was placed under the centre of each ridge, but not in the intervals. Mange' or Mangold Wurtzel is abandoned in our neigh bourhood. This leads us to refer to an observation which we meet with at p. 321 (October) of " The British Far mer's Magazine :" it is this :—" Those who have trusted entirely to turnips are now envying those who sowed a good breadth pf mangel wurtzel ; for this fine useful beet is look ing extremely well and luxuriant everywhere, notwithstand ing the great heat and dryness of the weather." We have witnessed what appears to us a very improved method of sowing that estimable crop for green fodder, the Trifolium incarnatum. The land was ploughed, and etift tually cleared of weeds and couch. The surface was then rolled till it became very solid, and in that state was very correctly harrowed, the teeth of the instrument forming straight shallow drills. In these half of the seed was sown : then the field was cross-harrowed, and the remainder of the seed was sown in these second drills ; finally, the ground was harrowed the third time to cover the seeds. The season was the middle of Septem ber ; the sowings were made broad cast ; but as in all such cases the major part of the seeds fall into the drills. It is evident that this method must secure the grand disederata of clean, well-moved land, and a state of solidity, which ----_ 0.4 -. spits the plant. It has been said that it will not prosper iv, moved ground, but we know that this opinion is incorrect ; and it is at best a slovenly practice to sow upon stubble,,. which has been merely raised by the scarifier. It is ttost too late to sow trifolium, but it may answer if the season be deft:l-red till March. W e v ;•onder that, at a eriod when so much complaint of low prices al:4 pFofitiess farming' is made, farmers do ;lot turn their attenth:. nto grazing land and live stock. Britaigl is the country of grab:: and verdure : it is the " gree nest spot" in this respect—the " oasis" o f the world ! /N e t not this clearly indicate what sh ould be tl'e chief object of its cultivators ? Corn grows to greater perfection elsewhere' we can import it at the lowest prices ; but what count can rival or equal ours in the p roduction of all the grasses and of live stock. We kno4 that the subject bas be already strenuously advocated ; and believe that Mme l' Ir : mere have begun to think the p lan feasible, and even to pub in practicer . Low prices of grain must be a blessing ILO the community at urge ; and the resources o f the c ar: agrictiltu rist are so ample tint if one o rler of culture fail , he e adopt another, which, with skill and industry, must ° crowned with success. AORTICULTURAL NOTICIF. FO NOVEMBER. , I°. the The garden is at all times an object o f interest wtw, lover of nature and of home , and there a re operations ;b appropriate to every season ; but a great deal ton' the may be done, and in this month of damp and gloon: , ground may be interfered with greatly to its detriment. The month of October has partaken too much of the 61'1 racter of its successor—Tain has fallen in abundance,-th7 sun has withheld his beams, and hoar-frosts have succeedeu each other in rapid succession. We have witnessed what has rarely before come und er our notice—the complete blackening of the potatoe shoots by frost ; for dry as the summer was, the rains of Septesr ber caused a vigorous renewal of vegetation , a nd the bank° was, in many plots, as verdant as we have s een it in 111 Where this occurred the plant has shared the fate of tb e herbage of the dahlias, heliotropes , and sal vias, those eing of the autumn. As yet we have not obse rved an y in.ll in respect to the chrysanthemums ; but if the frosts s 0 1 _ c ontinue, and act as precursors to deluges of rain, dos beautiful plants will speedily suffer.

PEAS and BEANS can be sownin drills On'Ar . but they scarcely succeed well or repay the trouble all anxiety they occasion. We shall, in due season, allude to a mode of raising O rl i crops, which is both safe and extremely gratifying: . ...A The earthing up of celery, blanching endive plants, ' si t ; protecting cauliflowers, are operations of routine not to neglected. POTATOES should be dug up, dried under sheds, e a _ .; „ . stored in dry pits or cellars. Large masses from fi elds M e of course, be pitted ; but all ought to be protected de s' frosts, for many tubers are ruined in a few hou rs by oar accessions of frost, and if sown refuse to vegetate. In the Faun' department all the small fruit shrubs ' be pruned, and the ground lightly mulched with long naure about the stems. aoal We object to prune apricots, peaches, nectari nes, figs at this season, but vines may be completely regula77,, and the shoots secured to the walls and fen ces in due °ru l e according to the mode of training adopted---wheth er lie that of the long rod, spurred rod, or fruit-tree _fain. bee vine should be at complete rest early in the auintan, ,„ e cause the shoots bleed if pruning be delayed til l ti:.4 1"` begin to rise. THE FLOWER GARDEN AND PARTERRE may be k e l neat, but their honours are nearly gone. Every portin°P ea litter ought to be removed, and the beds cleaned from we 0 , Geraniums, fuchsias, if still in the ground , sho uld be Ire tiously raised, potted, and secured. Frosts of a se! character, during a few hours , have occurred • butgre e _e, house plants, in pots which have remained out, L ave i 3 ot P o ' fered much ; but they now incur considerablei risk, aniinniL e destroyed at once. This leads us to remark, that vsm[ e j and low situations are much colder than the bill y or elevated districts ; in the latter the air may be keen, bet it paratively dry ; dews are more lightly deposited, ana' o u sequently the frosty rime so injurious to plants is ro t abundant. We have proved the truth of these _roof, more than once during the third week of October. sai,v o hyacinths, and other bulbs should be plante d .early in month. THE GREEN HOUSE should be kept as cool and dryer, vat° possible.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 3l.—The Champion, Commander Fair, arrived at Janeiro from Halifax and Barbadoes on the 12th of September. She left the Spitfire steamer at Bar badoes all well, waiting for the mail. The Serpent, sloop of war, Commander Napier, left Janeiro on the 30th of August, on a cruise. The Rover, 16, was at Bahia, on the 19th of August ; the Romney, troop ship, was at Rio Janeiro from the Cape of Good Hope, July 17 : the Savage, 10, at Jamaica, Sept. 10 ; the Vestal, 28, at Grenada, Sept. 11. The Harrier, 18, Commander Carew, will go out of harbour on Monday, receive her advance, and will sail in the course of the week for the South American station. The Linnet packet, Lieut. W. Downey, will go out of harbour 'on Tuesday, be paid advance, and proceed to Falmouth. The Starling schooner has been commissioned by Lieut. Henry Kellett as a surveying vessel, and is to be under the orders of the Sulphur. The Raven cutter is also to be ,commissioned by a Lieutenant, and will be under the orders If the Etna. The Beacon, surveying-ship, Commander Copeland, is ordered home to be paid off. She has been three years and a half in commission. The Wanderer, 18, sailed on Tuesday, from St. He lens ' Roads, for South America, touching at Plymouth. The Conway, 28, Capt. Eden, was paid off into ordinary to-day, when James Tooke, master-at-arms, was awarded a medal, gratuity 71., and 241. 6s. pension ; and Richard Far rell, gunner's mate, a medal, gratuity 71., and 261. 4s. pen sion, for long services and good conduct.

It consisted of the Ca ledonia (flag-ship), Canopus, Thunderer, Edinburgh, Re venge, Vernon, Columbine, Hind, Medea, and Barham ; the last just joined from Constantinople, after disembarking there on the 3d of September the Right Hon. the Earl of Durham. The Portland left. Malta the 2d inst, with des patches from Sir Thomas Briggs to Sir Josias Rowley, in consequence of information having reached Malta from the British Consul at Cagliari, dated the 27th of September, that a Russian squadron, consisting of six liners, four fri gates, and two sloops, were shortly looked for from the Bal tic, at Palmas Bay, in Sardinia. This information was offi cially communicated to the Russian Vice-Consul an Antio ca, an island in the said Bay, by the Russian Consul Ge neral in the Sardinian Stares. No doubt it will have the effect of bringing Sir Josias Rowley's squadron down to Malta, and, indeed, previous to this intellhsence we were led expect it here in about a fortnight's time. This Rus sian force is in all probability destined to co-operate with that of the Sultan against Albania, or may perhaps be intended to favour the pretensions of Don Carlos in Spain. The Beacon and Mastiff still continue their sur veying labours in the vicinity of Lemnos, and the latter has likewise lately been in the Gulph of Salonica, with Mr. Brant, the British Consul General of Smyrna, in search of an individual charged with having committed a murder. The Favourite remains at Smyrna ; the Orestes at Tripoli ; the Sapphire at Corfu ; the Volage at Constantinople ; and the Tyne and Jaseur on the coast of Spain. The Tribune arrived at Malta from Smyrna the 22d, and proceeded on to Caaiz the 24th of September. The Pluto, having landed the Right Hon. H. Ellis at Trebizond, on his route to Te heran, proceeded to Constantinople, and there embarked the Earl of Durham for Odessa (on his way to Petersburgh), for which, port she sailed the 15th of September. The Confiance sailed from Malta to Alexandria with the Afri can's mails for Egypt and India, and is hourly looked for with the return mails. The African reached Multi: with the Falmouth mail of the 20th of September, and on the following day went to Zante, Patras, and Corfu. The Albion remains in port at Malta with the Ceylon receiving ship, and the Seamew yacht, the Hon. H. M. Upton, which arrived from Sicily, Sept. 24." At Spithead—Quail cutter and Lord Lynedoch. lu Harbour.—Britannia, Roc al George, Excellent, Pique, !Etna, Sulphur, Harrier, Linnet packet, Pantaloon, and the Raven cutter. We regret to hear, by a letter just received from the Rio de la Plata, dated July 23, that his Majesty's ship Actaeon, which had been then stationed in that river two months for the protection of British trade, had unfortu nately lost part of her crew by accidental drowning—M chael Casey, William Macdonald, Samuel Baxter, and J. Munn. The ship was on her passage from Buenos Ayres to Monte Video, when Casey was looking out of a main deck port, with a lantern in his hand, to see the depth of water (a man being in the chains sounding), when he over balanced himself, and fell headlong into the river. A boat was instantly lowered with seven men in it, but unfortu nately only one end of it, in the confusion, was let go from the davit, by which neglect all the men were precipitated into the water, and Macdonald and Baxter were drowned with Casey. Mr. Hamilton, the British Minister, who was on board, taking his passage to Monte Video, generously gave 201. for Casey's widow and child (he was a worthy old quarter-master) ; and a subscription was instantly com menced for Macdonald's mother, as the poor fellow was her principal support. Lord Edward Russell gave 51. ; all the officers of the Actaeon also contributed, and every man and boy in the ship voluntarily subscribed two days' pay. Bravery, humanity, and generosity are always allied in the British seaman's character. The death of Munn (a native of Portsea) was occasioned by his falling, off the ladder in going up the ship's side. The sentence of the Court Martial on the Hon. Captain Rous, wherein it says, " That from some cause, which had not been accounted for in the evidence, his Majesty's ship Pique was four miles to the northward of her supposed situation when she run on shore on Point Forteau," has attracted the observation of the Admiralty, their Lordships having (though, perhaps, it may be called extra-judicially) made certain inquiries respecting the charts furnished to the Pique, more particularly with reference to the 'quantity of variation marked on them, and the result is, strange as it may appear, that Captain Rous was furnished with the old charts of Cook and Lane, of the date, we believe, of 1767, with the variation marked off the Island of Anticosti, 19.30., and in the Straits of Belliesle, 22. 30. ; lie had also some charts of 1828, without any variation whatever marked on them. Now how stands this with what Captain Rous ought to have been furnished with ? Why that in the Hydro grapher's Office there are charts of a recent date, with the variation marked on them as high as 32., or in fact three points of the compass instead of two, as Captain Rous and his master were led to suppose. The real cause of the ship's getting on shore speaks for itself. Nor could Cap tain Rous remedy this discrepancy, for not having had an opportunity of taking azimuths he could not correct the error of his charts. APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenant J. H.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, OCT. 29.—The Firefly steamer was paid wages on Monday, and started for Falmouth yes terday, to take out the next Mediterranean mail. The Quail cutter and Leveret brig have been paid two months advance. The latter sailed to the Gambia and the Cape of Good Hope ; the former will sail to-day for Portsmouth. The Royal Adelaide will be ready to receive the flag of Sir Wil liam Hargood the latter end of November. The Rodney will be ready for sea the middle of November ; the Nimrod about the 26th ; and the Pearl about the 20th. The Pique will be docked to-day ; the damage to her bottom and false keel is not yet known, but both fore and main masts are so badly sprung, that they must be replaced with new.
