BILEACII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—This waa an mien to recover damages for breach of promise of mar riage. Defendant, who appeared in person, had suffert.d judgment to go by default. Mr. PARRY, in stating the case, regretted that the de fendant had not availed himself of the assistance ,of Counsel. The plaintiff is a young lady, whose relatives reside inlierefordshire, and defendant was at one time a man of considerable landed and personal property in Gloucester. The engagement between the parties was entered into with the full and entire con sent of the relatives, in 1841, the plaintiff then being about twenty years of age and defendant 31. Tie Learned Counsel, in a very eloquent address, urged that the jury ought to give very substantial damages, as he should prove that the defendant had acted in the most treacherous manner towards the plaintiff, and had pro bably acted in a similar manner to another lady, w "oal he had since married during the year 1 846. It would be shown that the defendant l'ed told the brother of the plaintiff that he had entered. into an engagement with the lady, last . 1, 1111 4411 d to, b u t was anx iou s to break it off, and pledged "'meet' to honourable and fervent affection towards the plaintiff; yet, after his solemn and deliberate promise, Jae had continued ,his previous acquaintance with his present- wife. The Learned Counsel said that if there had been any treachery on the part of the defendant to his wife, and saarriage was but a partial atonement, it would be difficult to say what would be an atonement to the plaintiff, whose feelings had been so cruelly injured, and. bad b een rendered so miserable and wretched. The Learned Counsel read a voluminous correspondence, and also proved that, notwithstanding the defendant's Present assertion of poverty, ho was still in compara tively affluent circumstances. ;-The evid ence a dd uced was in perfect accordance with e statement of the Learned Counsel. ,The defendant addressed the jury, and not only as -8,7r e. that he w as p oor, b ut contended it was proved "lia t th. action was not th a t o f th e p l a i nt iff b ut o f h er frends The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury must I, :s in estimating their damages, seek to punish the de fendant, but at t h e same time they were bound to give snob damages as th e y t h oug h t would b e some compensa tion to the plaintiff for her injured. feelings, having re gard to the means of the defendant, who had given no evidence as to his means, but it had been sworn he had represented himself to be worth 5001., and likely to fall into a• further sum of 1,200/. The dam ages were laid for 500/. The jury gave a verdict for 150/. BANKRUPTCY. —(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)

George Bridge Mullins, a surgeon, whose trial was postponed from last session, was indicted for feloniously compassing, imagining, inventing, devising, and intend ing to levy war against the Queen, &c. The prisoner 0 4- appearin g b owed respectfu ll y to the Court. The Attorney Gen era l, Mr. %Vilsby, Mr. Clarkson, ;r. Bodkin, and Mr. Clerk, conducted the case for the p r oseetion. The Tr.

'Nan Sturgeon, 43, was brought up on three indict -111 euts--the first charging him with stealing two saws, a bl ll i 4 re, and other articles, the property of William Ro dr[l; the second with stealing three saws, a screwd fou'r r, and a hammer, the property of Robert Staff; an T is li aws and other articles, belonging to John Ihrn. on th e ii se prosecutors in these cases are carpenters, an d B t. te r , t h ilistant were at work at some buildings at a -"". They left their tools in the building at twelve :eiock while they went to dinner, and the tools were itolen; and on the same night the pri,;encr was seen n the act of disposing of some of the saws %.hen he was taken into custody. The other articles had been pledged by the prisoner. In defence the prisoner said that In purchase:i them. The jury round him Guilty, and the Court Eentenced him to six months' hard labour at Brixton. Mary Shield, 33, pleaded Guilty to an indictment .hargiug her with stealing three pairs of worsted stock ings belonging to the county of Sure ey. The prisoner was confined in liorsemonger-lane gaol a month ago, in default of finding bail for an assault. She was generally employed in knitting stockings for the gaol, and during the time she secreted the worsted on her person, and knitted the stockings while in her cell. On the morning of the 26th ult. her time expired. and as she was about to be discharged the turnkey found the stockings secreted under hor shawl. The COURT sentenced her to three months' hard labour at Brixton. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY). FORGERY UPON THE BANK CB ENGLAND.— ThOniqJ Mad was this morning brought before Mr. Combe, the ' sitting magistrate, charged with having in his possession ' and offering for sale three 51. notes, purporting to be of the Bank of England. A man named Potter, barman to Mr. Riches, proprie tor of the White Iforse wine vaults, No. 64, High street, Shoreditch, deposed that the prisoner, in com pany of another, came to his master's, In,use, ,nd after haying drunk two or three pots of porter, (he prisoner, addressing witness, said, "If you will come outside of the door, I shall be enabled to show you something to your advantage." Witness followed .he prisoner as he desired, and on their gaining the rear of the premises, the prisoner, pulling out the three notes now produced, numbered as follows, viz , 2,434, 0,520, and 3,029, said, " You shall have these for 4/. a piece. Witness suspecting something wrong, spoke to his master, and the two men somewhat alarmed, left the premixes. The prisoner, on whom the notes were found, was captured by Sergeants Dowling and Eames, of the II division; the other man has escaped. The prisoner, when remanded, said he had picked the notes up in the streets. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) William Hanks, a well-known smasher, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having uttered a counterfeit shilling. Mr. William Birdman, landlord of the Hampshire Hog, Berwick-street, said last night about Uri o'clock the prisoner come into his house and called for a half pint of porter, in payment for which he tendered the coin produced. Witness on looking at the prisoner, re cognised him as having attempted to pass a counterfeit shilling on the Saturday previous, and on examining the coin offered last night detected it as being a counterfeit. Witness was proceeding round the bar for the purpose of giving the prisoner into custody when he immediately ran out of the house followed by witness, who after a sharp run succeeded in coming up with the prisoner in Poland-street, and gave him in charge to a constable uho at that moment came up. Catherine Knotts, the daughter of Mr. Knotts, of Walker's court, identified the prisoner as the man who attempted to pass a base shilling about ten minutes pre vious to his going to the house of last witness. - The prisoner, in defence, stoutly denied hating been in the neighbourhood last night. He therefore could not be accused of uttering the base coin. Constable 150 C, proved that he saw the prisoner coming out of Mr. Knott's shop at the time mentioned by Miss Knott. Witness knew the prisoner as an old offender. _ _ _ _ _ The prisoner, who persisted in his statement, was full . committed. LYCEUM THEATRE. Illy Father did so before me, is the title of a one act drollery which was produced here last evening, for the debilt, at this theatre, of Mr. John Reeve, the -on of the John Reeve, "glorious" John of the lidelphi—rnd as the father did, even so will do the son—mellow down into one of the richest and most unctions humorists that ever set an audienc e i n a roar. He appeared in some of his father's charac ters some two years since at one of th e m i nor theatres, and although at that time raw and inex perienced, and evidently unused to the stage, the taste he then gave us of his quality was sufficient to prove that he was "a chip of the old block." Since then he has been practising hard in the c oun t ry, and last night he entered upon his first regular metropolitan engagement. He is very young, and his physical frame is as yet scarcely developed, b ut h e is built upon the scantling of his father, has the sam e merry twinkle of the eye, the same rich comic expression of feature, the same fat chuckle of self-sati s f act i on, the same musical ear, the same cl ear vo i ce, and the same agility of limb that his father had before him. When he appeared last night in the garb of John Trot the cabman, wbo indulges i n a ll sorts cf vaga ries:because his father did so before him, he was wel comed by repeated shout s o f cheering which were divers times renewed, an d w hi c h lasted several minutes. After a s h or t di a l ogue w i th the lady's maid (Miss K. Fitzwilliam) of the Countess, in whose drawing-room the scene is laid, and which gives time to Mr. John Reeve to collect himself and to become better acquainted with his audience, he sings a medley song, descriptive of the humours of a Greenwich fair, in the course of which he imitates a tightrope dancer, a wild-beast showman, and a great circus-rider gal lopping round the circle, in a style that was worthy of his father in his best days. It was indeed Johr. Reeve redivicus. Mr. John Reeve not only did as his father had done before him, but he did it as well as his father had done before him—he was re warded with an encore, as his father had been before him—and he very judiciously, as his father had done before him, repeated only the last portion of his per formance. Mr. John Reeve has a musical voice, and sings well in tune, he illustrates his song with an infinite degree of grotesque humour, and is far and away the best comic singer we have at present on the stage—a John Parry in action. The occa sion of the visit of the Cabman to the man sion of the Countess is to restore to her Lady ship a favourite paroquet which she has lost, and as the price of its restoration he demands a kiss, which, after much trouble, he obtains, and restores the paroquet, who, much to the lady's annoyance, screams out on every occasion, " Who kissed the cabman ?" Mrs. Yates, no doubt out of respect to the memory of her old friend the father, condescended to appear in this part, in order to assist at the debut of the son, with the success of which she must be highly gratified, and more especially as it is a success well and legitimately earned—one which will last, and which will at no distant period, place Mr. John Reeve in the same rank among our comic actors as " his father held before him." At the conclusion Mr. John Reeve, Mrs. Yates, and Miss K. Fitz william were called before the curtain, and enthu siastically greeted. The house was crammed to suffocation. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert took walking exer cise this morning in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. The Royal Family took their accustomed airings.

BERNARD, C E.—We have here upon a single sheet, properly methodised and arranged for reference, the whole of the provisions of the Public Health Act of last session. Mr. Bernard is entitled t.) the thanks of all those to whom time is an object, as by means of his chart any of the provisions of the Act may be ascertained at a glance, thus obviating the necessity of turning over the leaves of the Act itself and searching for a quarter of an hour, perhaps, for the provision required. This chart should form part of the " paper hangings" of the office of every solicitor, architect, civil engineer, and builder. On Tuesday evening a large party of the National Guards visited the Colosseum, Regent's-perk. They appeared to be highly delighted with the " Panorama of Paris," and were observed to be pointing out to each other the different localities of the events, in which, per haps, many of tilt m had been actors. An interesting incident occurred during the course of the evening: the band of music, in compliment to them, played some of the French national airs, and upo❑ these being con cluded, they unanimously requested " God save the Queen;" they stood uncovered, and at its termination applauded loudly, crying " Vive la Reiner They afterwards retired highly gratified with their reception. LONDON BRACE of GREAT SEA SERPENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN. SlR,—Your nautical readers are less surprised at the account of the Great Sea Serpent tl.-.n at the position and course of her Majesty's ship Dm laths, on the Gill of August last, as reported by Captain 111'Quhae, in his official statement to Rear-Admiral Gage, recently published in your columns. The spectacle of an homeward-bound ship in lat. 22 deg. 44 min. S., and long. 9 deg. 22 min,, E. (be tween the Cape and St. Helena), with the wind N.W., steering N.E. by N., and on the port tack, far exceeds in novelty any serpent hitherto discovered. This, however, is an age of wonders; and as for sea serpents, they must be numerous, for no sooner is the highly interesting statement of Captain M'Quhae published, than Captain Henderson, of the brig Mary Ann, of Glasgow, informs us, that he spoke the American brig Daphne, off Lisbon, on the 30. h of September, the captain of which vessel, on the 20th of September, in lat. 4 deg. 11 min., S., and long. 10 deg. 15 min., E., saw a serpent 100 feet long, going fifteen miles an hour, &c. How the brig Daphne, with the wind north (or in any other direction), managed in ten days to run from 4 deg. 11 min. S. to the latitude of Lisbon (38 deg. 43 min. N.), Captain Henderson does not state ; pro bably the serpent took the brig in tow. It is quite evident there must be more than one of these monsters, otherwise Captain MiQuhae's serpent made but an indifferent passage from the 6th August, when in hit. 23 deg. 44 min. S., and long. 9 deg. 22 main. E., until the 20th September, when the captain of the Daphne assaulted it in lat. 4 deg. 11 min. S., and long. 10 deg. 15 min. E. Its changed position during the interval (45 days) merely exhibits a run of only 1,200 miles, nearly due north—thus aver aging not 15 miles an hour, but little more than one mile an hour, as the rate of the serpent's pro gression. We really must have more accurate data regarding these matters, or such very unsatisfactory, reports will most assuredly be classed with the statement said to have been made by the captain of a ship, who stoutly asserted that a merman came on board his vessel one Sunday morning when off the coast of , and politely requested him to remove the anchor, which had been dropped against his cabin door, and thereby, pre vented his wife and family from going to church. Lloyd's, Oct. 25, 1848. H. W. THE CHOLERA. The Board of Health received report of only one case of cholera yesterday, and that one did not result fatally. It occurred in Whitechapel. From Edinburgh we have an official statement, signed by the surgeon of police, which slates that twelve new cases have been registered since the last report from that city. Of these eight terminated fatally. At Newhaven two new cases are reported, and at Leith eight. Of these, two are returned as dead, and two recovered. The additional localities affected by the disease in Edinburgh are Brown street and High street. CHOLERA. WARDS AT THE FREE HOSPlTAL.—Yes terday, a meeting of subscribers and committee of management of the above hospital was held in the board-room of the institution, Dr. Rice, chairman of the committee board, presiding, when it was an flounced that the committee, to meet the exigency of the present epidemic of Asiatic cholera, have caused two additional wards, containing 100 beds, to be opened for the reception of cholera patients. SIIRERNESS.—A. case of Asiatic cholera has taken place on board the Ganges, 84 guns, at Sheerness, which has proved fatal to a fine young man, John Budd, boatswain's mate. He was taken ill on Sunday last, at 9 A.M., and died in twelve hours. Budd was employed on board the Myrmidon, tender to the Ganges, whilst the Myrmidon was engaged in towing the Justitia and other convict hulks from off the wharf at Woolwich. The man returned to the Ganges on Saturday and was taken ill and died on Sunday. NEW COLLAR FOR SHIRTS.—A simple addition to the ordinary shirt collar has lately been made by Messrs. Capper and Waters, shirt warehousemen, of Regent street, which has for its object the entire concealment of the strings which are wont to give a negligent epp( ar ance to the neck. The contrivance must effectually meets this objection, and the smallest cravat may now be worn without the exposure of knots or loop , . F. um the means devised being by a sort of pocket, the adapta tion is termed " the Tasca," and is registered under that name. THE CHARTIST PRISONERS.—On Monday afternoon he Chartist prisoners, Ritchie, Lacey, Fay, Cutfey, and f)owling, who were convicted at the last Old Bliley Sessions under the Crown and Government Security Act, and sentenced to transportation for life, acre re moved for classification to Milthank Penitentiary, in hich place they will remain until their final departure fur Van Diemen's Land. Considerable synipathy is felt for the prisuner Dowling, whose amiable manners and abilities have gained him many friends amongst the authorities of the prison. Dowling's father is a highly respectable solicitor in Dublin, and the unfortunate young man himself has displayed very considerable talent as an artist. In 1845 he was engaged by Mr. Hughes, the engineer, in surveying on the Dublin and Waterford Railway, and he remained in that gentleman's employ until the recent panic in the railway world, when he took apartments in Nassau -street, intending to follow his original profession of an artist. AN ENGLISH STEAMER AIISTARRN FOR A SLAVER. —The steamer Maid of Islay sailed from Liverpool in the' month - of December last, on a trading voyage to Africa (where she had been on a former occasion), and continued actively engaged on the coast until the 12.11 of May, occasionally exchanging civilities with the men-of-war, and, when able, furnishing them with fresh provisions. It appears, however, that on the night of the 12th of May, while on her return to Sierra LeOne, she was suddenly hailed from her Majesty's sloop Alert. and ordered to heave to ; but before the captain could even give any orders to that effect, a 31-pound shot from the sloop struck her stern-post, entered the cabin, and wounded the captain with the splinters. This was im mediately followed by a couple of volleys of grape. A boat from the Alert then pulled alongside, and the offi cer in charge said she had been mistaken for a Spanish steamer, known to be on the coast slaving. In the mean time the captain of the Maid of Islay had brought his vessel to an anchor, but the shot causing her to leak considerably, the crew abandoned her. The Alert sent a full complement of hands on board, and by dint of bard labour at the pumps, kept her afloat till they got her into Sierra Leone.

Ellis, of the Royal Marines, is president, assembled at this garrison, for the trial of Private William M'Fadyen, No. 2,275 of the 72>1 regiment (Duke of Albany's own Highlanders), on three charges :—lst, for habitual drunkenness, being four times drunk within twelve calendar months; 2.1, for having, at Sheerness, on the 4th instant, made use of in solent and insubordinate language towards Sergeant Peter Ritchie, 72d Highlanders, when in the execution of his duty; and 3d, for having, at Sheerness, on the eth instant, disobeyed the lawful command of his commanding officer, by refusing to take the punish. ment which he had awarded him. The prisoner pleaded not guilty to the charges on their being read by Captain J. S. Wood. The Brigade-Major, who acted as the Deputy-Judge Advocate, Serjeant Peter Ritchie, Sergeant John McDonald, Sergeant Patrick Henry, and Lieutenant and Adjutant McKenzie, were severally ex aminsd at length. Neither of the witnesses could prove the third charge. The prisoner, in his defence, called Corporal David Miller, and Private Thomas Little, and Private James Gieb, and these three soldiers positively declared that the prisoner was sober on the evening of the 4th of October, when he was taken to the guard. room as drunk; and the two privates also declared that they were with the prisoner when he spoke to Sergeant Ritchie, and he did not make use of any bad language to him. The court was then cleared, and after a short time the court broke up, acquitting the prisoner, who must remain confined until the decision of the court is confirmed by the Horse Guards.

The reports of crops from th e in terior are in general most favourable, and the litarwar ries and others are already appearing in the market as purchasers. A few Arabs also have been buyers. Every description of textile fabrics is now finding a readier sale than has been seen for years at this season, and transactions would be more numerous and weighty, but that holders generally look upon the prevalent prices as low, and expect a rise. The moderate first cost, however, at which much stock is now held, and can as yet be replaced, at once enables sales to be effected without loss at what would have been very low rates during these some seasons past, and is in tact forcing them to be so. Grey and white shirtings. low and medium qualities, have bold to the extent of 25.000 'o 30,000 pieces, and grey madapollama the same. Grey jacconetshave been in good request, and the price has improved, but the stocks at market are small. Grey don.e..tics, after being long neglected, are now in dea,and for dyeing pur poses, and for the Arab and Pr rsian mat kets. Bleat b, ,d goods generally have been iu fair rt quest. Jaceonets of the lower qualities selling let els', and shirtings being much reduced in stock. Dhoti, s, handkerchiefs, Turkey red cloths, prints, mulls, and madapollams, and prints and chintzes generally, are all finding a ready sale, and at better prices than prevailed at this season last year.

In the export market cotton wool is rising, the demand for China being brisk, and something doing for Great Britain too. Opium is quoted ; lower, and some is chang lag hands. Freights to Great Britain are quoted at 21 15s to 31 per ton, though some engagements in second-class ships have had effect at a lower figure.

GENERAL REMARKS.--As the arrival of the express draws near, there is some disposition to wait recounts of the progress of events in Europe. The necessity to provide for remittances, by the steamer, has kept up a fair demand for exports throughout the week. Business has been more general, and dealers are generally con tent to realise at the late ruling prices. Sugar remains the favourite object of demand, and a good supply is kept up of all except fine qualities of Be nares, which, as usual at this period, commence to be scarce. Raw silk is in more request, and at recent prices a fair amount of business has been done. For corahs, too, there has been some little inquiry. Saltpetre can be purchased rather lower, but there is little doing for England. Rice is neglected. The late excitement in the opium market bad com pletely subsided, and Patna was down to 969 r. On Thursday night a report got abroad that the China news was in, and Patna yesterday morning was again at 1,020 r., but during the day subsided to 980 r. The sale on Monday is likely to go lower, sinless the steamer or the steamer's news should arrive before that day. Manchester Cottons have been in active demand throughout the week, and stocks in first hands wearing out prices have moved up a little for most of the leading staples. In Glasgow fabrics more business has been done, and at rather better prices than were before ob tainable. The demand is far from general, and prices are unsatisfactory. The Twist market remains bad, holders urge sales, and prices continue to droop. Th( advancing tendency in Metals has for the present sus tained a check. Dealers have purchased very freely of late, and the accounts from the Upper Provinces, where there is still much want of rain, and some anxiety felt for harvest prospects, do not appear to warrant a further advance. (From the Englishman.) CALCUTTA, SEPT. 7.—Business here, since the date of our last report, had exhibited a little more animation than we :have been accustomed to for some time past owing: to the difficulty of getting bills of exchange, which forced upon remitters the necessity of turning their attention to produce. There has been no transac tion in indigo. Sugar, until lately, has maintained a good inquiry for purposes of remittance at rather lower rates, and since the arrival of the Precursor the market has closed heavily. Tho operations in saltpetre have been less extensive, at 2 to 4 annas reduced rates. Rice remained almost totally neglected until the receipt of the present home news, which has had the effect of inducing an active demand. The holders of safflower still requiring prices, which shippers cannot safely give, transactions in that article have been very limited. Raw silk has attracted a little more attention, and corahs have been in better request. Lac dye and shell lao have been neglected. We have no reason to complain of the state in which our import market has remained since the date of our last report. A good demand has continued for plain and useful fabrics of Manchester manufacture at firm, and, in some cases, improved prices. Scotck goods are without any improvement. Mule twist has been in less demand at reduced rates. Coloured yarns remain depressed. Metals maintained their position until lately, when the demand somewhat slackened, and prices lost their former firmness. The Money Market has remained easy, and accom modation can be procured on approved securities at fair rates. Government paper has fallen in value: our pre sent quotations are, Transfer Paper, 11 to 12 premium; New Fives, 12 annas to discount, according to amount, small sums commanding the best terms; Second and Third Fives, 3.12 to 4 ditto; Company's Fours, 15-8; Sicca ditto, 16-8; Bank of Bengal, shares 1,925 to 1,950 prem. The Bank has not yet published the rate of profitrealised d ur i ng t h e past month, but judg i ng f rom t he business transacted, it s earn i ngs canno t be higher t han those of July, which netted Rs. 5-1-2 8/ per annum on capital stock. The market has latterly been better supplied with bills of exchange, but still the quantity offered has been very far short of the demand. Our quotations are now 1 9 to 1.9 i for first-class document bills, and 1-9 k to 1.9 for American credits, which description of bill is scarce. Oriental Bank bills 1-9; ditto, at sight, 1-7 i. Bank of England post ,bills are freely taken at 1-8. A consi derable amount of Bengal post bills has been remitted, and this kind of remittance appears to be getting into better favour. Rupees 25,54,217 in value of bullion has gone forward during the past month, 1,50,224 of which has been sent via Suez, and the remainder round the Cape. The amount advanced by the export warehouse since Ist of May in goods under hypothecation is 7 89,645 rupees. Our last report left freights at 4/. to 4/. ss. for sugar London. In the subsequent week an influx of ship ping caused a decline to 31. 15s. to 4L The week after that they regained what they had lost and stood at 41. 55., and with trifling fluctuations they continued about that figure until yesterday, when an increased demand for tonnage for rice raised them to 41. 10s. to 4/. 12s. 6d for that article, 41. 103.. for sugar, and 4/. ss. for saltpetre- Indigo—We have no tram. , actieus to r, port since our last issue, but a continuance of the most propi tious weather for the unbounded progre es of vegeta tion, with daily short mild showers and bright sunshine to follow. This, for during the last two and this month prevailing rainy season, almost unexampled state of weather, seems by all accounts to have favoured most of the indigo districts, and under as beneficial influence the principal portion of the crop has been brought to a rapid greatly-improved maturity. Menu facairing is by this time a nearly established fact in the generality of leading concerns, and the latest returns based upon this, with the probable proportionate results of the smaller factories, including native cultivation, introduce the increased estimate of the total out turn to about 1,20,000 to 1,25,000 mounds. If, with a continuance of the present weather to the end of the month, which how ever, can hardly be expected, the yet outstanding portion of the plant affords a similar yield to that blained up to the present, and the. rumours ab ou t p reparat i ons for second cuttings bung i n progress iu Lower I ngul, are u i rovud n practice, the crop may be in creased by a furthe . r 1()000 in:ler/Is.

I--- --- A correspondent in this island writes as follows, under date the 21st of September :—"There is an almost utter impossibility of realising produce of any kind. The whole islaup is downright beg gared, and I see no prospect of improvement. The planters are becoming poorer every day, and consequently there is little or no money cir culating among the labourers. Numbers of estates are out of cultivation. The Commissioners of Public Accounts have been signing and issuing the New Island cheques as fast as they can, and I suppose the whole .50,0001. will soon be afloat. I should not be at all suprised ere long to see silver at a premium in consequence. The Planter's Bank Relief Bill bas been lost in the House of Assembly, and I understand that the shareholders, at their meeting, a few days past, determined on winding up the affairs of the Bank. There can be very little doubt of their being ulti mately great losers, for a large amount of the assets consist of sums due by planters ; few of whom I fear will be able to pay up. Any one walking along Port Royal -street now would almost fancy it was deserted, particularly at the west-end, where in three squares nearly two out of every three stores are closed. Last week another of the large foreign dry goods houses closed its business. The foreign trade is again very slack, but I think there will be another spirt of it towards the close of the year. "During the past fortnight we have had some fine heavy showers in Kingston and the neighbouring pari►hes, and from present appearances I think we shall get our October seasons. " His Excellency Sir Charles Grey has almost en tirely recovered from his late accident, and ku allowed the House of Assembly to adjourn till the 24th of October next. "In Hayti all is perfectly tranquil, and business improving. The President, Soulougue, appears to have adopted a different policy, which has restored confidence and security among the population, a happy termination of the worst fears which the latter had entertained on the approach of the President to Port au-Prince." MODENA. Letters from Modena, of the 15th, state that on that day a revolutionary placard was posted at a column of the portico of the public square, calling upon the Modenese to rise against the Austrians, and drive awayi the Duke The Mode nese soldiers and the Croatians in vain attempted ieveral times to tear cff the paper ; the crowd that kept constantly surrounding it during the whole of the day prevented them with menaces ; so that at last an orderly was sent to the com mandant of the fortress to inform him of the fact. The account was probably exaggerated; for the commandant ordered a signal gun to be fired to call together his troops, who immediately hastened to their arms. But the population, on see ing this, also dispersed with the cry of " To arms ! to arms !" and re-assembled in a menacing attitude, when Commandant Puffer appeared, explaining that the gun had not been fired with a hostile intention, and that his troops had received orders to retire. Tranquillity was immediately restored. A.F. Mr. T. Edwards's New Forest Deer, aged, Bst Mr. Beresford's Slug, 3 yrs, 6st Sir C.

DEPARTURE OF THE NATIONAL GUARD. —Yester day morning an order of the day was issued t o t h e 11 t h Legion of the Garde Nationale a Paris, on a visit to the British metropolis, apprising them that the train for their reconveyanee back to Paris would have the ter minus of the South-Eastern Railway, at London. bridge, at five hi the evening; and for the second division, which arrived on Tuesday, at tho same hour this eveninT., the 26th inst. It was signed " Deschampes, corninissaire," and countersigned " Dumas" and .. Moreau." A great many, however, left by the early morning trains, so as to be able to view Dover Castle, its heights, lines, and fortifications. Those who ro mained in the metropolis pursued their tour of observa tion with the most indomitable perseverance. NUM hers yesterday visited Hampton Court Palace, the Bo tat.ic Garden at Kew, W indsor Castle, Ch e l sea and Greenwich Hospitals, some few visiting the vicinity of Claremont, to view the asylum of their fallen monarch. A great many obtained permission to inspect Buck ingham Palace. About four o'clock they commenced mustering at the Railway T e rminus, a great crowd o f persons assembling to witness their departure. Th e most cordial understanding seemed to exist between them and the populace, numbers of thaw shaking hands ith the guards, who, as they entered the stati on , were loudly cheered, which they acknowl u d gc d b y cries of ‘` Vive I'Anglais et l'Angleterre." Shortly aft er five o'clock the train took its departure with abo u t 300, the greater portion remaining till the evening. Sweepstakes for three yrs old and upwards. A.F.

We have received, in anticipation of the overland mail, Bombay papers of the 15th September, Cal cutta 7th September, and Hong-Kong of the 23d August, from which we extract the following intel ligence A considerable force is now assembled at Moul tan, and by the last advices was ready to commence the siege of that fort. Moolraj, it is said, has resolved to sell his life, and there is no doubt that he has some devoted followers, who will stand by him to the last. Various reports of the strength of Moultan have been circulated, the truth of which will now soon be put to the test. That it is thought by no means despicable by those at last sent to reduce it is evident from the deliberation with which they are proceeding, and the power that they are preparing to bring against it. By the Delhi Gazette of the 6th we learn that Moolraj is making great exertions to seduce the sepoys of the East India Company. That prper says—" Endeavours to seduce the sepoys of our own regiments are amongst the attempts made his instruments being deserters from the British army, who promise high pay and other advan tages. Two of these came to a sepoy of the 51st Native Infantry, who appeared to agree to take ser vice with the Dewan on 15 rupees a month. After a while he induced the decoys to go with him to his tent, and then quietly slipped away to report to the officer of his company what had occurred. The two men were forthwith apprehended, and Moolraj's purwannahs found on their persons Several heads of cattle, and among them some camels and an elephant of General Whish, had been captured by the Dewan's foraging parties. The two remaining companies of the 82d Foot (under Captain Piggott) had arrived in safety at Kurrumpoor, but found s on reaching that place, that the whole of the carriage cattle had been taken on with the regiment. The latest letters from Moultan are dated the 29th of August. The force continued comparatively inactive, and we re- 1 _ gret to learn that supplies were beginning to be so scarce that it was seriously proposed to com mence on the store taken down by the commis sariat. It seemed to be the general opinion that the train would not reach before the 4th, but we should think it would hardly take eight days to do from four to five ordinary marches, fur they left the Ghat on the 28th. A wing of the 5I st Native Infan - zry had been sent to escort the guns. A heavy shower of rain had fallen on the 25th, and consider ably cooled the temperature. It seems to be thought that bad management had caused the great mortality and sickness in her Majesty's 32d Foot, as all the other troops were in good health, comparatively speaking, and there was no sickness among the native troops. But we will no venture on an opinion with out more facts; we merely give that which is pre valent in the camp." In Bombay there was some improvement in busi ness, and a large number of shares having been taken up in the proposed Railway Company (Great Indian Peninsular), as many as 30,000, great hopes are entertained that this important undertaking will soon be gone on with. A second general meeting of the Bombay Steam Navigation Company was held immediately after last mail left, and their affairs, nut in an over-flourishing condition, discussed in a very friendly spirit. Since then, Mr. Richmond, of the late firm of Richmond and Co., has been appointed manager of the concern, an officer much wanted, and it is expected that Mr. Richmond will do much to retrieve the fortunes of the company, whose stock has been long quoted at more than 50 per cent. discount. The Right llonourable the Governor remains in the Deccan, where, lately, the weather is described as having been extremely pleasant. His Lordship is expected at Bombay about the 15th proximo. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief ii also in the Deccan, now engaged on a tour of inspection. The judges of the Supreme Court have been sitting at term these three weeks, the cases being numerous, and some of them important. A steamer owned by natives is about to be regularly put on the line between Bombay and the Persian Gulf. The trade on this line, heretofore prin cipally cafried on in small craft, called' buglows, is very great, and good judges are of opinion that it would support several steamers if well conducted. Calcutta suggests nothing to one's mind but the everlasting Union Bank affitir. The Bank makes no progress, except in difficulty and entangle ment. It was understood that the 'leading men among the resident shareholders have applied to Government for a special Act to wind up the con cern, and that the proposition is favourably enter tained, but that difficulties very apparent may still prevent the application of this remedy. The Bombay Commercial Bank is still without its four lacs of rupees, lost in that quarter, and a special agent is re tained in Calcutta to look after the amount. Madras seldom supplies us with much news of interest. One item it does supply on this occasion, of a very painful nature. That is the removal in custody of an assistant surgeon, Mr. Daubeny, from Khotagherry to the Presidency, charged with murder. '.Pbe latest advices from Ceylon, received in Cal cutta, indicate the speedy suppression of the insur rection. It will, however, have cost money in the transportation of troops, the destruction of pro. perty, and the necessary preparations against future disturbance. Fruin jlyderabad the last accounts were that since General Fraser's return to the Residency he has almost ostentatiously declined any interference in the affairs of the Nizam's Government, so much so that it was surmised to be the intention to leave affairs to take their own course until impending ruin should make the interference of the paramount state un avoidable. There are no accounts of importance from the eastern settlements. In the China Seas an English schooner has been captured by her Majesty's ship Childers, on a charge of piracy. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Gentleman's Gazette.) BOMBAY, SEPTEM BER 14, Tho market both for imports and exports has, during the past fortnight, exhibited an increased and healthy activity. The fall of rain at the presidency has besta AUSTRIA, The Provisional Commandant of the National Guard of Vienna has addressed the following proclamation to the people of that capital : "Citizens ! Brothers in arms I—You have read my note, addressed to the Ban. In the evening I went to the Committee of the Diet, and an hour after to the Municipal Committee. It was my first appearance in this Assembly. I sent an answer to the Ban. He has not replied in writing. The Municipal Committee will publish his verbal reply. In it you will see how little respect Commandant Jel lachich pay to your provisional commander. • His Excellency the Ban is astonished at seeing that a man who is charged to speak in the name of ten times tea thousand National Guards should display his anger instead of performing his mission with dignity.' Would you have had me preserve all my coolness in speaking of infamous acts of violence exercised against the city, because I have not suffered personally ? Would you have tolerated this ? Speak 1 The Ban talks of my opinion. I declared at the bar of the Municipal Council that I, a man, an individual, Citizen Wenzel essenhauser, had no opinion. The Provisional Commander executes the opinion of the Diet, of the Commune. He represents the opinion of the de liberative authorities, but he has no opinion of his own. Fellow-citizens ! Brothers in arms ! My judgment on the evasive policy of the Ban was received with acclamations of applause by the Committee. My attentive ear enjoyed the music which a freeman finds in the frank expression of the resolute sentiments and ideas of freemen. Fellow-citizens I These men are your fathers. You are bound to honour them. These men of the Com mune, although they are but simple citizens, although they are but individuals, will at the moment of dan ger, although the y . are but men who earn their li re • libood by their industry, will at the moment of danger, .1 pledge my honour, exclaim 'All is lost except honour!' "MESSENIIAUSER." WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-- His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by Sir Robt. Peel, and attended by the Earl of Listowel, lord in wait ing on the Queen, Colonel Seymour and Captain Den man, the equerry and groom i n wa i ting, went Atlt this morning to shoot in the Ripley covers, near Bagehot. His Royal Highness and party returned to the Castle shortly before two o'clock. In the afternoon her Ma jesty left the Castle in an open pony photon, the Prince driving, General Wemyss and Colonel Seymour attend ing on horseback. lustead of leaving the Castle, as usual, by the grand entrance, leading to the Great Park, his Royal Highness drove down the Castle-hill, in the direction of the town, through a considerable crowd of visitors, among whom was a large party of the French National Guard, and at the bottom of the hill, to the great gratification of the people, the Prince turned to the left, and passed at a gentle pace through the very heart of the fair, amidst all the din and clatter of gongs and trumpets, Windsor October fair just then being i n all its noisy glory. Her Majesty seemed much a mused by the scene; and having passed through the f air amidst the hearty greetings of the motley multitude, and the loyal obesiance of the better sort," the Queen and Prince drove out of the town along the Frogmore-road, stopping pay a sheet visit to her Royal Highness cir th ° e L ) )ge Duchess d of Kent, and returning to the Castle by the grand entrance between the Towers of York and Lancaster. TRAINING COLLEGE, CARMARTREN.--C ARMARTHE; TUESDAY.—This institution was formally opened to-day. After morning prayers a sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, followed by a collection for the general purposes of the college. A cold cAlation was subsequently served in the college hall, at which the Lord Bishop of St. David's presided, and which was partaken of by a most respectable company. Altogether the proceedings were conducted with so much zeal and decorum as to augur well for the future success of the institution. His Excellency the Hon. William Temple, the British Minister at the Court of Naples, left town yes terday to resume his diplomatic functions in that capital. His Excellency has been absent nearly eighteen months en conga, and on Wednesday last had the honour of taking leave of her Majesty at Windsor Castle, preparatory to his departure for Italy. Lord Napier, who has acted as charge d'affaires during the absence of his Excellency, will, it is understood, leave Naples for England shortly after the Hon. W. Temples reaches that capital.
