CHOLERA. —We must dissent from the medical regulations issued by the Board of Health as regards Cholera. We contend, in the first place, that diarrhoea is as much a disease of the body as any other, proceeding from impurity of the blood, caus ing vitiated fluids in the stowach and bowels ; and theref .re only eradicable by efficacious vegetable purgatives. If we are wrong in We, of course the whole of our fabric falls to the ground. We should consider ourselves the tenet despicable beings on conch, if in the pre sent awful visitation which it has pleased the Almighty to afflict this and other countries, sea published or advised that which we did not think tended to alleviate the sufferings of our fellow-creatures, and we should never fur ono moment contend for the principles which we do, were we not borne out by practical proofs, not only in one or two cases of Cholera, but in hundreds, about which no mistake can exist. In short, we advise that treatment for others which we our selves should follow without hesitation. No doubt it will he deemed as presumptuous by many, on our part, to question the regulations which have been issued by authority of the tlovernment as regards Cholera, but when we reflect that the non-medical and highly hon ourable parties under whose authority such medical regulations have been issued are themselves totally in the dark, and rely on others, we confess that we approach the question with confideuce. We can only look at the medical regulations as a means of putting fees into doctors' pockets. They say, as soon as you have an attack of Cholera, send for the doctor, and pay him his fee ; this, however, would be a trifling matter, but when we come to consider that Lauda num, which proved in 1531 and Int so completely tinsucee , sful, if not fatal, Is again recommended, we cannot help reflecting on the numbers that will fall victims to it independent of the Cholera. Why, we are given to understand that in the hospitals in Dublin, dur ing the last visitation of Cholera, numbers of the poor were buried hilst under the influence of that poisonous narcotic. 'We, there fore, most solemnly protest against laudanum in Cholera. As to brandy and peppermint, they may do very well for the gin-shop, but how they are to take away the vitiated fluids from the body we do not understand. As to the restrictions in diet, from which so many tradesmen will suffer, we consider them quite unnecessary, our belief being, that when the body is in a proper state, the usual articles of abet are good, if sot necessary, in moderation—however, as regards ardent spirits, we fully concur in their suppression. We therefore advise all our Hygeian friends, or those who believe in the medical - theory of James Morison, the ilygeist, to lire as they have been doing. Let them live well, if they can, and remember to keep their bowels in a proper state ; they may then laugh at the Cholera. Those who may be attacked by the disease, we refer them to the testimo nials of huutireds of persons. wherein they will see the number of pals—the vegetable universal medicine, eetnnionly called "Morison's 1111 V —taken in the worst cases of Cholera in Russia and other Places. Relying, therefore, on the mercy of Divine Providence, on the positive testimony of individuals cured of Cholera, and guided by common sense, we hereby declare our belief that Cholera may be most easily prevented and cured by the vegetable universal medicine of the British College of health ; and eve repeat that the medical re gulations from the Board of Health are only another mesas of put -144 fees Into doctors' pockets, and that laudanum or opiates are Above all others the worst remedies that could be advised. As to cleanliness, and other obvious good regulations ordered by the Beard of Health, we need not say that we highly approve thereof. The Cleansing and Health of Towns Bill emanated from the people, and net from the doctors. Doctors live by disease, and not by health ; it was not therefore, likely, that they should have supported such a measure. They have been forced into it. The MEMBERS of the BRITISH. COLLEGE of HEALTH. New-road, London, October 14, 1848.

SUGGESTED BY TIIE IRISII STATE TRIALS. At a time like the present, we've very good reason To say a few words with regard to High Treason ; For a subject like this is by no means too solemn For a matter of trade in a newspaper column. The only idea with E. MOSES and SON, Is to make such a topic a mercantile one. It Is said that when perm's excite revolution, As traitors, they owe a severe retribution. But here no allusion whatever is made To what may be termed, revolution in trade. E. MOSES and SON. as you all must confess, Have caused a complete revolution in dress. And they've levied a war with the trade, as you know, But the war has been civil—remarkably so ; And MOSES and SON in the efforts they've made, Have endeavoured to make themselves monarchs in trale. Now, although In the State, this is viewed as high Treason, To apply it to trade is to speak without reason. The trial which MOSES and SON have gone through, Proves them friends to the public in all that they do. Their prime Autumn dress, in its wide distribution, Will prove them not foes to a good constitution. Aad thus has the subject of Treason been made To serve Messrs. MOSES and SON in their trade. M. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which pessess a peculiar cat and style, adding much comfort la the it. E.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 15.—The annual meeting of the Seamen and Marines Orphan School was held at the rooms of this institution at this port on Thursday, at which the report read most encouraging and grati fying to the supporter. ,„ national and philanthropic a charity. Ad m i ra l the licn. Sir Bladen Capel, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of this port, took the chair, and consented (on the motion of Vice-Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.8., secon d ed by Dr. Ralph) to b e presi dent of the institution. The Hon. Lady Capel, in a spirit of true benevolence, consented to be president of the Ladies Committee. Under such favourable auspices this worthy asylu m must t h r i ve to the extent o f its de serts. An unanimous 'vote of thanks was accorded to the late president and present warm advocate to the charity, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., through whose unsparing exert i ons its fuds were greatly in creased, and its usefulness considerably e xtended. Sir Bladen and L a dy C ape l gave handsome dona tions to wards the funds of the charity. This afternoon, whilst playing with some other chil dren on a boat at high tide, the son of Mr. White, of Bath-square, fell overboard, and was immersed for se veral minutes.

The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Gmamander H. Duma resque, went out yesterday to try her engines and sails, she having undergone considerable alterations as well as repairs ; amongst other things, a wizen or jigger-mast, stepped close aft, with a lug sail and boomkin outrigger. It appeared to answer very satisfactorily. She is to sail to morrow, it is understood, to resume her station at Jersey to protect the fishery. The Hermes temporary steam-tug, Mr. Martin acting master, arrived this morning from Plymouth, bringing a number of marines and seamen, lately belonging to the Daedalus, Captain M'Quhae, paid off at that port last week, and forty-ono seamen to join the Kingfisher, 12, Commander H. Harvey, fitting at this place. Commander Harvey has a full eomplement of prime seamen in his brig, although ho has not entered a man here, except his steward. All his men were draughted before the pendant was hoisted, and ho has consequently been com pelled to refuse a great number of good men who have offered themselves. Considerable discontent has been excited to-day on board the Grampus by the refusal of Captain Martin to suffer the wives and other relatives of his crew to bring them dinners dressed on shore. The interdict is said to have been laid on in consequence of some abuse which took place yesterday of the indulgence hitherto afforded, by means of which spirituous liquors were introduced, and several of the men became intoxicated. It is be lieved by those best informed that this liquor was not brought by the women, there being many other means by which the men may have obtained intoxicating drinks. At all events, it is a pity to punish all for the misdeeds of a few, and one case was an exceedingly hard one, being that of a poor woman who had travelled ten miles to see her husband, and was compelled to re turn again without that gratification.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred emditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that alighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of immitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which Ws affianced would be plurged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will malts such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common toresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than ono primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Veldts ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and. lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all Im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, aed he fails to consult even his own medical attendant.

DurAuRE consented to take office was that the state of siege of Paris should be raised. A Special Committee of fifteen has been appointed by the National Assembly to communicate with the Executive on the subject of raising the state of siege; it is composed of Messrs. BEDEAU, LANDRIN, ISAM BERT, CIIANGARNIER, BAUCRART, PLEIGNARD, AY LIES, LIONVILLE, FLANDIN, PORION, GLAIS BIZOIN, MOREAU, DUCLERU, and LABOULIE. The majority of the Committee was considered favourable to the maintenance of the state of siege. This change in the Ministry, which meets with the approval of the Mo derate Republicans, is a source of infinite annoyance to the Red Republicans and Communists. The Bien Public, the organ of M. DE LAMARTINE, says— " Three men, eminent in different degrees, have just given the co-operation of their talent to the task of democracy. The first, M. Dufaure, is a Minister, puritan and laborious, whose intelligence always honest, and probity always inflexible, go to seek na turally and without deviation the true and the honest in all discussions. His speeches always logical, his elocution always easy, enter like light in people's consciences. He has, more than any one, the talent of disengaging your own ideas from the cloud in which they float, and of expressing for you without fatigue your own conviction. Removed, by temperament, from all temerity in philosophy, from all exaggera tion in politics, he has powerfully contributed to cause the practical and sensible articles of the Constitution to be voted. Without him the debate would often have fallen into chaos. The second, M. Vivien, is one of those men who made their education in the old par liaments. He was Prefect of Police, Minister, Coun cillor of State, and in all those important posts he has left a reputation of talent, honesty, and of a good deal of firrnnes3 allied to much kindness. Eighteen years of administrative and political labours have given him a long experience of men and affairs. This experience has alreauv profited to the Republic in the debates of the Constitution ; for M. Vivien has been, with M. Dufaure, the orator who has most contributed to save the best clauses from the flood of amendments. M. Freslon, formerly an advocate, and at present Procu reur General of the Court of Angers, is one of those intrepid soldiers of the idea, who under the old go vernment carried the flag of the Republic with the greatest energy. But from the first day of the revo tion of February, M. Freslon did not see in the Republic the conquest of a nation by a coterie. He saw, on the contrary, as we did, a sublime exclamation of the country, an improved form of government which dissolved parties. Accordingly all his votes and all his speeches in the Assembly bear the stamp of the spirit of justice." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Our. 14.

The Constitutiannel says— " The accession of three very honourable men of acknowledged talent, whose advice the National As sembly likes to follow, will necessarily be approved of by the country. Two of them besides have already been ministers, and that is an advantage which they have over their predecessors. Their presence alone in the government is certainly a pledge given to order, family tics, property, and the honest and moderate Republic. They can do much to strengthen in France respect for the law, social principles, the eternal rules of morality, to revive labour and pros perity. M. Dufaurc takes an administration which still bears the imprint left by M. Ledru Rollin under the Provisional Government. M. Freslon will find primary instruction delivered up on many points to socialist and materialist doctrines. But it is not red and social republics which suit the nation. There are, therefore, plenty of reforms to be made, if the desire is to place the central government in accord with the population,—the new institutions with the sentiment of the country. France will await these reforms from the resolution and prudent firmness of the re-constituted Cabinet." STOCK EXCITANGE.—The sales are—Caledonian, Prefer ence, 58s.

The Dredalus, 50, was paid off yesterday. That part of the sentence of the court-martial held last week on Thomas Keane and Thomas Murphy, of the Caledonia, adjudging them to receive 50 lashes, was carried into effect on board the Caledonia on Thurs day, in the presence of the whole of the officers and ships company. The Tortoise lighter, sailed yesterday with stores for Pembroke. The Manceuvrer arrived yesterday with st ores f rom Chatham.

It will be recollected that in consequence of disputes which had arisen between the house committee and Dr. Freund, the late directing physician of the hospital, two or three special courts of governors were called to take the matter into considera tion, and, after a good dual of very stormy discussion, the matter was at length brought to a conclusion by the resignation of Dr. Freund. The meeting of Saturday was therefore called to fill up tho vac ancy , Sydney Williams, Esq., having been called to the chair, briefly addressed the meeting, after which the secretary pro ceeded to read the minutes of the last court, and, after short discussion, they were confirmed. The chairman said they had now to proceed to the election of a phy sician and surgeon to the hospital. A ballot then took place, and at two o'clock the secretary announced that Dr. Swaine an d Dr. Straube had been unanim ous ly elected, the f or mer as physician, and the l atter as sur. goon to the hospital. These gentlemen having severally expressed their acknowledgments for the honour con ferred on them, thanks wore given to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. BARBAROUS MURDER.—A most cruel and wanton murder was committed on the townland of Drumhilla, between Cootehill and Ballybay, on the night of the Bth or morning of the 9th instant. The name of the unfor tunate victim was James Conolly. His body was found with the skull smashed into pieces, and it was evident that more than one person must have been concerned in the murder. An inquest was held on the body shortly after the discovery, and the jury found a verdict of " Murder against some person or persons unknown;" adding that strong suspicion existed against the son of the deceased, Philip Con3lly. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Saturday, for Hickleton Hall, Doncaster. On the other hand the Socialist and Red Repub lican papers are, with the exception of the Democratic Pacifique, outrageous. The Democratic, the organ of the Fourierists, does justice to the motives of the new Ministers, whilst it laments their appointment. It says : " We believe that the three new Ministers have sincerely joined the Republic, but their entry on affairs takes place under evil auspices, being due only to the intrigues of the Rue de Poitiers, which pushes them forward in order to cause them to fall in their turn, and to replace them soon by decided reactionists. They will find themselves in a very awkward posi tion for men of honour, that of having been chosen by the enemies of the Republic, and to be obliged to depend on them, and at the same time to have to struggle against sincere Republicans, who having sus tained with a devotedness, sometimes blind, the pre ceding Ministry, cannot support with energy a Ministry which is nothing but a breastplate invented by the eleven persons on the Right." The Courrier Frangaia is somewhat more violent, and declares that " M. CAVAIGNAC has compromised himself! It is Messrs. DUFAURE, VIVIEN, and FRESLON who are obliged to impose upon M. CA VAIGNAC the rising of the state of siege as a condi tion ! We willingly grant that since the Ministry of May 12th, 1840, M. DUFAURE has made some pro gress in his opinions. But, in fine, neither M. Du risuttE nor Messrs. VIVIEN or FEESLON has given any solid pledges to liberty. 'With such Ministers there can hardly be formed any but a Cabinet of reaction. It is precisely such a Ministry, more than any other, that will have need of compression, and it is the ex monarchical Minister, M. DUFAURE, who is obliged to demand from M. CAVAIGNAC, the old Republican the raising of this state of siege ! On such an ex., change of characters we must renounce all idea of comprehending anything. The name of M. Du- FAuas, is a guarantee of order, but who will be the guarantee of liberty ? It is no longer M. CAVAIGNAC !" The Reforme Declares war a l'outrance, not only against the new Ministers, but against General CAVAIGNAC hinnelf. " We feel (says this organ of the Red Republic) completely biases on the score of these wretched epos tacies that now, after eight months, come to profit by the blood arid the combats of the people. We find it impossible to choke our moral sense ; we suffer for the honour of our country before the scandal of these metamorphoses. There is a grave question at the bottom of this affair. In rejecting pale and colour less Republicans for the old servants of Louis Phi lippe, General Cavaignac, whom we have so long de fended against calumnies and animosities, now im poses upon us new duties ; it is no longer a question concerning the Republic, democratic and social—it is the Republic itself . that is in question when the men of the monarchy are installed in the Government—it is a decisive revolution that dispels our last hope. Let the stets of siege be removed or maintained, the moment for serious discussion is arrived—a direct blow has been dealt at our revolution by the delivery of it into the hands of its enemies." The Republique goes quite as far as the Wynne in [PRICE SD. its denunciations of General CAVAIGNAC. The Republique %ays— " Where does General Cavaignac go and seek succour for his outflanked Cabinet? Is it in that part of the Assembly, of which the opinions, alike progressive and practical, by inspiring confidence in the country, could have drawn round the Govern ment an imposing majority ? No, but in the con venticle of the Rue de Poitiers, that olla podrida of Legitimatist Orleanists, and Federalists, who pray so heartily for the fall of the Republic; he goes and chooses out M. Freslon, Procureur-General at Angers, the advocate oc the penalty of death, and the zealous defender of the members of the parquet, who prosecute with an equal quietude of conscience attacks made against the Monarchy and the Republic ; he goes and chooses M. Vivien, the insignificant Minister of Justice of the weak Administration of the Ist of March, who since his fall has known how to unite the popularity of a languid opposition with the profits of public functions; and lastly, M. Dufaure, a fallen celebrity, the unfortunate patron of the dotation of princes, a Ministerial aspirant, always ready for office; vho withdrew with a religious horror from the Reform banquet of Nantes, because the directors of it thought that the dinner could very well pass over with ou t a t oas t b e i ng d rank to the King. Such are the Republicans who obtain the sympathies of General Cavaignac! Nothing more remains for us to do than to cry out Vive le Roi and send a char-a-bane to the exile at Claremont." Even the National expresses its dislike to the new appointments. It says— " In our opinion it is a grave fault to confide the political Ministry—the essential Ministry —to a man whose character and talent are certainly not called in question, but whose antecedents expose him to suspicion by all who profess Republican opinions. Messrs. Dufaure and Vivien excite disquietude and repugnance. We do not, indeed, fear for the Re public ; but it is evident that eight months after the Republic has been formed, it is natural that people should behold with astonishment the ancient adver sary of the Reform banquets become the chief and political director of the Interior of Republican France. General Cavaignac, we say it sincerely, has done wrong to confide the Home-office to M. Dufaure, and this fault, commanded it may be by political necessities, is of a nature to weigh in an un happy fashion upon the new Cabinet." But it is not alone among the political writers that the Ministerial modifications have excited hostility. M. Ducous, the Prefect of Police, has resigned his office, assigning as a reason for so doing the dangers which menaced liberty in France in consequence of the appointment of a reactionary Ministry, an ap pointment which he considers; itantamount to a counter-revolution. General CAVAIGNAC has ac cepted his resignation, and appointed M. GERVAIS (de Caen) in his room. In the sitting of the National Assembly on turday M. DE PORTALIS addressed the Assembly on the change of Ministers, and asked for a programme of the policy of the new Cabinet. He was replied to by General CAVAIGNAC, who said that on Monday he should submit to the Assembly the question of the change of Ministry, ask them for a vote of confidence, and if it were refused he should at once retire. The following articles of the Constitution regulat ing the functions of the Council of State have been adopted by the Assembly : " Chap. Vl.—Council of State.—Art. 68.—There shall be a Council of State, composed of forty coun cillors of State at least. The Vice-President of the Republic is, ex offi:io, President of the Council of State. " Art. 69. The members of this Council are ap pointed for six years by the National Assembly. Half of the members are renewed in the first two months of each legislature, by secret ballot and by an absolute majority. They are indefinitely re eligible. " Art. 70. Such of the members of the Council of State as may be chosen from the National Assembly shall be immediately replaced as representatives of the people. " Art. 71. The members of the Council of State can only be dismissed by the National Assembly, and on the proposition of the President of the Republic. "Art. 72. The Council of State is consulted upon the project of laws of the Government, which, ac cording to law, must be submitted to its preliminary examination ; and upon the projects of parliamentary initiation that the Assembly should send before it. "It (the Council of State) prepares the rule con cerning public administration. It can make of itself such rules as it is warranted to prepare by special delegation of the National Assembly. "It exercises, with regard to public administration, all the powers of control and surveillance which are deferred to it by the law. " Particular laws will regulate its other attribu tions." We find the following in the National, on the sub ject of the recent insurrection at Vienna, and the effect which it may probably produce un the affairs of Europe. As the National is the organ of M. BASTME, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the article is im portant as indicating the views of the French Go vernment : " Let us endeavour to surmise what will be the probable consequences of the new situation which events have just produced for Austria. The report is current that the Diet s hick, as is knwn, has de clared itself in permanence, has rendered itself master of the revolution. According to letters from Vienna, it passed on the 8:11 the following resolutions 1. The Diet declares that it will not dissolve itself, and that it will remain faithful to its duty. 2. The Diet will maintain itself within constitutional bounds, and will only employ legal measures to save the country, the liberty of the people, and the hereditary throne. If the Diet was to predominate in the situation, it appears to us evident that the revolution of October 6 would prove a failure. What occurred on May , 25 would again come to pass. The Emperor, with drawn to some distant town, would there wait the turn of events, would cause himself to be desired and I recalled, and would then re-appear in his capital, to again deliver himself to reaction and provoke a new insurrection. If the Diet is overpowered by the people, or if, of itself, it replies, as its dignity would command, to the manifesto which the Em peror isssued just as he fled—if it replies to menace by menace, then the revolution at Vienna will con tinue. In that case, two courses are open to the Court of Austria. It could withdraw to:lnspruck in the midst of its ever faithful Tyrolese, and depend for protection on the army of Radetzky. Amongst the men who urge on the unfortunate Emperor to his ruin, are some who care but little about Italy, on condition that the remainder of the monarchy should be re-united to the imperial throne by indissoluble ties. Their policy is perhaps on the point of triumph ing. If, on the contrary, the Court, yieltnng to a resolution which appears to us to be above its courage and its strength, should decide on combating all its enemies at the same time, it will leave Radetzky at Milan, in order to withdraw to Prague. There it will find elements of resistance against the revolution of Vienna. We must here express frankly a fact which we have sometimes indicated, that since the insurrectional movements have burst out in Austria, the Sclavonians are in the empire only a reactionary element. That is the part which the Croations of Jellachich play in Hungary; that is the part which the Teheches play at the Constituent Assembly of Vienna. And let it not be said that the Sclavonians are urged only by antipathy of race against those who, in face of them, represent new principles. National animosities disappear before ideas of liberty, when such ideas are in the heart ; and what proves it is, that the Germans and the Hungarians, whom old animosities, Heaven knows, have so long divided, gave each other the hand when democracy had need of their alliance. The bombard• ment of Prague, which has been so much spoken of, represents simply a struggle of races ; it is so, and not other wise that it is comprehended in Bohemia. But it is possible to obey perfectly the idea of race, and at the same time overlook liberal tendencies. Soon, perhaps, events will lead us to examine an hypothesis which is often put forward in order to explain the conservative tendencies of the Sclavonians. We shall examine if Austria can reconstitute herself on new bases by making an appeal to the Sclavonian forces which she contains. But however that may be, up to this time evident facts must be admitted, and it must be allowed that Jellachich, in invading Hun. gary, had nothing else in view than to serve the cause of Austria, such as it was conceived at Vienna. The dynasty of 11anshurg, which is resolutely Germa nic, would not certainly have risked its last stake to support a Selavonian movement; still less with the prudence and deep cunning which it is known be longs to it, would it have allowed itself to be de ceived by its Lieutenant. Facts will at last speak for theinselv,'., arid we shall no doubt soon learn that the Croatian patriots who have so energetically protested against the Ban have at last shaken off the authority of Jellachich and of the Austrian party. A great subject of conversation at Vienna was the • promises give y Russia to Auhria, in se the Emperor Ferdinand should have need of aid. We know that the Czar is not fond of revo , ut it must be rdmitted that it is not always possible for him to follow his instincts. Russia would have to combat at the same ti me th e revo l ut i on of Vienna, that of Hungary, that of Molda-Wallachia, and that, in fine, which the departure of the Russia troops would provoke in Poland. Besides, the state of the roads does not permit troops to move after the month of November, and between this time and spring the fate of deniocracy will be decided on the banks of the Danube. As to Hungary, we do not see that it can follow any other policy than to pro claim her independence. The democrats of Vi enna, who so generously decreed the ruin of the old empire of Austria, in order to join the great German party, will see with sympathy a republic rising at their door always ready to support them. It is no longer the monarchical tie which ought to join together the nations which have hitherto com posed the empire of Austria : restored to their own existence, they must unite together by a sincere alli ance which can secure them against the interior and exterior enemies of their liberty. The Austrian monarchy has been more than once on the point of falling to pices, but it always survived the blows which its enemies gave it. Let some men decide so, and to-morrow we shall behold liberty pronounce the avenging words, which will cause the dead in Italy, Hungary, and Poland to start in their graves, There is no longer an empire of Austria!' " The Patric of last night states that it was ru moured that M. JULES FAVRE (the writer of the LEDRU ROLLIN circulars) expired on Saturday. The Minister of Finance has published a compare.. tive table of revenue receipts for nine months of 1848, as compared with similar periods of 1846 and 1847. The diminution is, as compared with the latter year, 102,862,0001., with the former year it is greater by 2i millions. Taking the three last months sepa rately, as compared with the three months of 1847, the diminution is, for July, 12,976,000 f.; for August, 13,807,0001.; and for September, 13,761,000 f.

Mr. William B. Dalby and Mr. James Andrew were yesterday admitted scholars of Wadham College. The Christ Church examination, previous to the admission cf new members, takes place on Wednesday next, when it is expected that a very large number will be matriculated. The following gentlemen of this University have received preferment, namely :—The Rev. Charles Henry Angell, B. A., formerly of Queen's College, has been appointed to the chaplaincy of the borough gaol, Leeds; the Rev. Charles Abel Heurtley, 8.D., formerly Fellow of Corpus Christi College, has been FIRES. On Saturday morning no less than four fires broke out in St. George's-street, East Smithfield, three of which are returned by the fire brigade authorities as having been wilfully occasioned. The first fire was dis covered shortly before two o'clock, burning in the first floor back of the premises tenanted by a foreigner named Lewis Anthourietti, and used as a beer-shop and emi grant's lodging-house, situate at 167, St. George's street, East Smithfield. Immediate information of the outbreak was dispatched to the engine -stations, and in a very brief period the engines arrived. There being plenty of water at hand, the firemen succeeded in getting the flames in the first floor down, but before that was oupletely accomplished, they found two other rooms in different parts of the building on fire. Having subdued the conflagration, the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Braid wood and Mr. Fogo, made an inspection of the premises, which left no doubt that the fires were wilfully caused, but by whom is at present a mystery. Mr. Anthourietti, the occupier of the house, it appears, had gone to Germany, and had left the house in the care of two females. These parties are of opinion that some one must have entered the premises to commit a robbery, and have fired them. Between eleven and twelve o'clock considerable excite ment was again caused in the same street by the sudden outbreak of a serious fire in one of the largest buildings in the neighbourhood of the London Docks. Tho pre mises, which were ten stories high, including the base ment, were occupied for a threefold purpose, the base ment floor being used as warehouses by Mr. Goodbehere, emigrant and troops fire hearth maker ; the ground floor was occupied as a chapel belonging to the Seamen's Evangelical Society, and the eight upper floors were let out as cheap lodging houses to poor families. The building was situate at 70, in the above-named street, immediately facing the London Dock warehouses. When the alarm was sounded there were between sixty and seventy women and children in the building, and the scene which ensued was most distressing. The poor creatures rushed out into the street en masse, bewailing, in a half frantic state, the loss of their humble furniture. Before the engines could arrive, the flames shot through the windows on the eighth floor, and completely en circled the floor above and also the roof. Owing to the great height of the building, the firemen were under the necessity of conveying the hose from the engines up the staircase, but fortunately the East London Works yielded a plentiful supply of water, which was judi ciously distributed over the burning mass, and pre vented the conflagration from descending to the lower floors. Whilst engaged on the floors beneath, the roof fell in with a fearful crash, which caused the men to make a retreat. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN HATTON-GARDEN.— Last evening, shortly before five o'clock, a fire of a se rious character, involving a fearful loss of property, and throwing about forty or fifty men out of employment, brokeetur picture -frame, b th s e r, om et premises er, an b d e belonging ting oM glassr. .j.

An in stant alarm was given, and in a very brief period the brigade engines arrived. The firemen then found the whole of the factory, from the bottom to tlietop, the d in a generalgeneral blaze, with a such d the e . The engines, w t however, were set to work with an abundant supply of water, and the first object sought to be accomplish ed flames ehrae at tackingt its complete destruction appeared certain was to preserve the private residence from total destruc tion. This was accomplished, but not without con siderable difficulty, as the back doors and lower part of the house were in flames. The full force of water was next directed upon the factory, but it was, notwith standing, completely gutted, the only portions remaining being the mere outer walls. The factory was stored with an immense number of picture-frames and valuable looking-glasses, besides which there was a costly stock of veneers and barometers, the whole of which have been reduced to ashes. The origin of the calamity is at present enveloped in mystery. It appears that the place was closed at a late hour on Saturday night, and no one had been known to enter afterwards. Mr. Cetta is in stared, but it is said not to half the extent of his loss. MURDER IN WESTMORELAND.—An Irish drover, who had driven some cattle from Borough. hill Fair, on Monday morning, the 2d instant, to the Lancaster and Railway station at Tebay, and was returning to the hill, was attacked near Sunbergin, about four miles from Orton, by two men wearing the garb of railway la bourers (whether for the sake of plundering the poor fellow of what little money ho had got, or for some other cause, is unknown), in a most brutal and ferocious manner; and who, after they had, as they no doubt thought, de prived him of life, dragged him into a stone quarry, a short distance from the road. The man's cries were heard by a travelling medicine vender of the name of Burnet from Kendal, who was about 200 yards on the road in advance, sand who witnessed the brutal treat ment which he received; but the men's appearance overawed him, and, instead of interfering and endea vouring to save the poor fellow's life, ran to Little Asby, a village about a mile from the place, for assist ance. While he was away the navvies had decamped, and the drover was found in the quarry in an insensible state, with his head dreadfully bruised. Near him were lying largo stones, and a thick stick, the weapons used, all covered with blood and hair. Ile was removed to Orton, where every attention was paid him; and a few days ago he so far recovered his reason as to be able to make his attendants understand that he was an Irishman. But the partial restoration of his senses was only of short duration, and he died on Wednesday evening, the 11th instant. The murderers, it has been ascertained, were seen at Borrowbridge the preceding evening, and again at Raisbeck that morning. They were pursued by the police, and traced into Mallestang, leading into Yorkshire, where the clue was lost. It is now supposed that they are somewhere in the neighourbood of Skipton. . - THE STATE PAPER AND PUBLIC RECORD OFFICES. -It is reported that the suggestion of the Miscellaneous Estimates Committee for consolidating the State Paper office with the Public Record-office has been acted upon by the Government, and that it has been resolved that the union shall take place immediately upon the retire ment of the keeper of the State papers, Mr. H. Hob house. This arrangement, as well as the transfer of Admiralty, Treasury, and other papers into the charge of the Public Record-office, shows that the Government have resolved to make the Record-office serve as the custos not merely of legal records, but of the records and papers of the several Government departments —in fact, become a really national Record-office. But these move ments make the necessity for providing a safe building all the more urgent. ; VAL - 1 1 ;4 1.-‘4 1 ,44. 14• "" ' • . 44, I • 41.6 • 4 , AV• TA, r , • , , . if. • • .. t o 1. 0 1 4 ., 5 aff , • ‘ lt .

The Duke of Wellington and the Dake of Norfolk arrived yesterday on a visit to her Majesty. The royal dinner party yesterday at the Castle in cluded her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Parma, her Serene Highness the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, her Serene Highness the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Langenburg, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Norfolk, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Countess Lopez, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper. The band of the Coldstream Guards were in at tendance during dinner.

This morning the Royal Family took walking and pony exercise. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Majesty's visitors, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household, attended Di vine service this morning in the private chapel. The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accom panied by their Serene Highnesses the Princesses of Hohenlohe Langenburg and the Princess Eliza, left her residence, Frogmore House, Windsor, on Satur day morning, for the Priory, Stanmore, and paid a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Royal Duchess and the Princesses returned to Frozmore House in the afternoon. Viscount Hardinge is to review the 50th Regiment, stationed at Dover, on Wednesday next, whets it is un derstood the Noble and Gallant Viscount will present the officers of that distinguished regiment with the gold vase, the gift of his Royal Highness Prince Waldemar of Prussia, who was a witness of the bravery of that regi ment in the military operations on the banks of the Sutlej. The Noble Viscount and Viscountess, and the Hon. Miss Hardinge, have returned to South Park, Penshurst, from making a series of visits in the north. Mr. Alfred Novello, of Dean-street, Soho, revives a suggestion for altering the present inconvenient for mulas for registering time:—" It has long appeared to me, that it would be very convenient to number the hours of the day from 1 to 24, beginning at midnight, as the additional words 'morning,' afternoon," evening,' a.m.,' and p.m.,' at present essential to specify the time, might bo dispensed with, and we should then have is a distinct name for each hour in a day. Thisbe coming more necessary to the proper understanding of railway time bills, especially for th e l ong lines. The proposed numbering would take no ex t ra room in any tables, as four figures are already required for the hours and their fractions. No difficulty would occur even with the clocks, which could easily have the additional figures placed in an outer or inner circle on the face. In Eng land, I think, this change would find universal adoption, if two establishments would agree to adopt it—l mean the Post-office and the railways. The announcement The packet sails Sept. 16, at fourteen o'clock,' would completely explain the,time, instead of saying two o'clock in the afternoon." DARING ROBBERY AT ALFORD.-011 Thursday evening, the sth inst., between seven and eight o'clock, some person entered the bedroom of Mr. J. C. Kirman, agent for Messrs. Peto and Betts, railway contractors, and broke open a chest of drawers in which he kept his cash box. Nearly 3001. in 51. !notes, sovereigns, half. sovereigns, and silver was taken away. Information was immediately given to Superintendent Casey, who after a long search found the cash box :under some shrubs in front of the premises occupied by Mr. M'Keone, agent in chief' to Messrs. Peto and Betts (with whom Mr. Kir man resides) . it had been broken open, and the whole of the contents, as above stated, stolen. On the follow ing day a warrant was issued for the apprehension of William Poole (groom to Mr. M'Keone) and Mary his wife ; and they were examined before the county magis trates, and remanded for a week. On Saturday a bag containing the whole of the money wrs found secreted in Mr. M'Keone's gig house, ;and was restored t o th e owner. As the two persons are in custody on suspicion of having committed the offence, any remarks on the circumstances attending the case would be premature.— Lincoln Mercury, !s- Jn ne ,nci till m itli less ent laid sole ? --- iess Ard. tsed ing, per as ) be in a ness ease de ;eels ter. vere here turn Heal 'orty and sued wag lical hich dicta lting ;OM" nd for- to to 1, in :y it siatie were icial• t the •hip, id to could at all xtra mill !rya! ?d on night [era.'"
