The Earl of DERBY has abandoned Protection in his character of Prime Minister of England. So also has Mr. DISRIELI, as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The example of the Leader of the Lords and of tb ..e Leader of the Commons has, more over, been emulated by almost all the other co%lspicuous members of the Administration. Be on d this—the Government has already sig nificantly declared itself in favour of an extraor dinary variety of very important innovations—inno vations of a most liberal tendency, and indicative of genuine enlightenment. There can no longer be any doubt in these particulars. They are obvious beyond the reach of contradiction. They force them selves, however unwillingly, upon the recognition of the most resolute opponents of the Cabinet. What is, if possible, yet more remarkable, is the fact, that in all these changes there is no hocus-pocus—the successors of t'ae RusseLe Ministry moving as naturally along tb a grooves of reform as the successors of the MEL BOURNE Ministry did when Sir ROBERT P E EL as sumed the reins of the British Government. It would appear, in sooth—judging from our last quarter of a century's experience —that it is no less the prerogative of the Tories when in office to turn Reformers than of the Whigs when in office to become Conservatives. Look at the results of the last six Administrations in tes timony of this, and see whether such has not actually been the fashion of these amazing official transforma tions. What was gained, we should like to know, from. the Whig Ministry, formed in the April of 1835 —what was gained from that Cabinet to the c 'antrY, we should like to know, in the way of emu. y rehensive improvements ? Little or nothing! What, on the contrary, was not gained by the people of the United Kingdom from the Tory Ministry, formed in Rained , we the September of 1841— mean, in the form of a series of laws constituting an evidence of grand legislative dt - velopernent ? When the ever memorable Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL, after being shaken in 1845, was overturned in 1846, an d when the Whigs again occupied the places of autho rity from which, in 1841, they appeared to have been dri yen for a much more protracted interval—the old teaomaloua changes once more descended upon their counsels, and the community was doomed to witness the indefinite postponement of reforms which they had been led to count upon as certainties so soon as the fair spoken leaders of the Opposition were once installed in the offices of the Imperial Government. Our allu sions must be understood as having especial and almost exclusive reference to the unwillingness evinced by the statesmen of the RUSSELL Adnainstra tion, during nearly six years of uninterrupted power, to secure to the nation the advantage of those great reforms, which were recognised by the masses as essen t ia) to the continued growth in this country of the sacred principles of civilisation. Notwithstanding all our indignation at the legisla tive short-comings of the RUSSELL Government, we are not blind to the glory which must henceforth, in the pages of our national history, invest the remem brance of that fallen, and now in some respects despised, Administration. Neither are we deaf to its great claims upon the popular respect in two particulars —to those claims which will, we believe, resound in eloquent and solemn tones to many after generations. As we have never been blind to that glory, as we have never been deaf to those claims, so we shall never be dumb in pro claiming them again and again upon every available opportunity—least of all shill we refrain from de manding for them the homage ;of the gratitude and admiration of the nitiltitude, now that Lord Jour; RUSSELL is no longer in the proud position of First Minister of the Crown of England, now that that eminent man and his colleagues are denied the prero gatives and relieved from the responsibilities of go vernment. Henceforth, therefore, as we have already repeatedly insisted, and as we still at this moment insist with no less than all our former emotions of earnestness—henceforth it will be remembered by the people, and asserted by the historians of Great Britain, that the RUSSELL Cabinet was great in 1847, when resisting the simultaneous advance of the twin demons of Famine and Pestilence, and in 1848 when opposing its energies to the wiles of Anarchy and the frenzy of Revolution. The recollection of those times will never fade from the remembrance of the population so long as moral courage and Minis terial skill can be in the smallest degree appreciated. It can never be forgotten that in those terrible junc tures the political outcasts of 18,;2 where in undis puted ascendancy—and, whatever may be said in his disparagement under other considerations, either by ourselves or by those who sympathise with us in opinion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL can never be deprived of the very enviable renown of having occupied at that crisis the lofty and responsible post of Prime Minister of England, in which capacity upon each of those specified occasions he acquitted himself—the world knows it, and history will attest it—as became the Leader of the British Government ! Yet, apart from 1847 and the Famine, apart from 1848 and the Revolution, justice compels us to speak no less decidedly of the legislative short-comings, and of the administrative incapacity of the RUSSELL Ca binet, in the most stern and uncompromising language of indignation. Vigorous administrators though the members of that Cabinet showed themselves to be when confronted with a dread and awful calamity, or when threatened by a sinister and menacing insurrec tion, they proved themselves for the most part, at other times and under circumstances, to be shuffiers in the Chambers of legislation, and incapables in the offices of Government. They were traitors to the cause to which they had pledged themselves while still numbered amongst the ranks of the Opposi- tion. The friends of Reform out of power—in power they were its most bitter and systema tic antagonists. Hansard from 1846 to 1851 inclusively yields unfortunate evidence of this in a thousand particulars. It was in consequence of the disgust inspired by this shameless treason to those who had been hitherto their most devoted supporters that the ex-Ministers found themselves at last, after nearly six years barren tenure of office, thrust out of place, pension, and prerogative, and compelled to make room for more worthy successors to the pomps and respon sibilities of Administration. Under this aspect of af fa;rs, the DERBY Ministry was inaugurated—and in pursuance of the Estonishing and inexplicable system of politics to which we have before alluded, the mem bers of that Conservative Cabinet have no sooner found ,hemselves fairly organized into a regular Governmen than they reveal their readiness to forward, one after another in rapid succession, a series of liberal and comprehensive innovations. Having virtually placed themselves at the outset of their administrative efforts in accord with the great mass of the Free-traders con stituting the majority of the inhabitants of Great Britain, the DERBY Ministers have already frankly intimated their willingness to carry a variety of re markable reforms through Parliament. They have declared themselves in favour of reforms in regard to national education, of reforms in regard to sani tary improvements, of reforms in regard to the better equalization of the taxes, of reforms in regard to the abuses of Chancery, in regard to those of the Ecclesi astical Courts, and in regard to the evils militating against the existing system of colonial and financial organization. Scarcely half a year has elapsed since their names were gazetted in February, and they have already contrived to break down some of the venerable and destructive mechanism of the Court of Chancery—to secure a new and more effective Extramural Interments Bill to the metro polis—to prepare an extended scheme of militia, whereby these islands might be less perilously placed in the event of any invasion—to direct the commercial energies of the nation into the fruitful, but hitherto almost unpenetrated, regions of South America—to adopt active measures fur the encouragement of those fisheries in the Atlantic which had hitherto bien abandoned to the most shameful and uninterrupted depredations—and to bring about a variety of changes in other and not less scattered directions, auguring well fur the liberality of the character of their projected but still unannounced policy And so the chrysalis of a Tory Cabinet expands into the full-blown butterfly of a reforming and enlightened Administration ! It is well. The country still as ever awards its confidence to the Men, according to the satisfaction inspired by the nature of the Measures. And thus the jealousy with which the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues were not unnaturally regarded in February is al ready giving way in October to eager and, in some directions, confiding expectation. It was remarked by LIVY, after all the malignant aspersions that had been indulged in upon the same subject by preceding annalists, that ALEXANDER, in his Asiatic expedition, did nothing more than per servere in his noble and well-conceived enterprise, despite of idle remonstrances—" Nil aliud qusim bene ausus cam contemnere!" Let the PRIME MINISTER so act that the future historian may speak in like terms of his enterprise—an enterprise not of spoliation, but of good government—and his advent to power will be remembered not as a curse, but es a blessing, not as a barrier in the path of the national progress, but as an appreciable impulse to the great onward move ment of civilization. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Se in peace, so in w ar . B ut the utterly a b surd and traditional rules of military etiquette interfere, in the present Burmese war, with the fulfilment of this eminently sensible aphorism. General GODWIN, chief in command of the Anglo-Indian forces, 'ap pears, at this moment, to be the chief impediment to the almost immediate and successful termination of the contest. He, it must be stated, was placed first in command, not from any very super-eminent merit, but simply because he happened t o b e t h e oldest General in India at the time when the war commenced. Seniority—which, in such case, should often be written senility--seems to have been his principal, if not his only claim, to the chief command in this in stance. It reminds one of the Irish adventurer, who boasted that, of eleven sisters, he had been favoured with the hand of the oldest, and, he added, "her father told me that if he had an older daughter, I should have had her." General GODWIN was the senior officer, and therefore, though very far advanced in years and hitherto quite unknown to fame, he was put at the head of the military expedition against the Burmese empire. As hesitation and delay are the characteristics of Old Age, nobody was surprised—nobody c ou ld be surprised at the manner in which the Burmese war has be en carried on. With the aid of steam, which we did not employ in the former successful contest, there was every reason to expect and hope that the expedition would have accomplished its object almost by would a -de-main. So, had N APIER commanded, u u :( l o ubtedly have bee n th e i mmediate result. " General G -ODIWIN had some successes at starting, and then it seet ned good to him to wait for further rein forcements. Some heavy blows we re struck at the power' of the Burmese ruler, yet none of them were foll ow red up. Like Fear, retreating ET, 311 at the sound himself had made," the aged an d " Gallant" General appears to have made it a poi nt, as if alarmed at each success, to hold back and cm amit the impolicy of waiting. On the Peninsula, wi I@re WELLINGTON'S small army had to resist the atta, a.k of NAPOLEON'S nu merous and expe rienced soldi en a F abian policy was t h e u l t i ma t e means of victor 7. In the East, on the contrary, delay is impolicy, beca use it is our proper game to encourage the popular bell tf in the Preitige of B r itish arms; to extend the belief that w e h ave only, like CASALE, to come, and see, an d conquer. When India sees us so long over the defeat of the Burmese, it must (and it will) believe that we paused because we lacked the means and the ability to conquer at once. Naturally dissatisfied with the delay—for the eon test, instead of being over in a few weeks, has already [Listed many turas—the Marquis of DALHOUSIE, THE SUN, Governor-General of India, actually went to the seat of war to spur on the slow and dilatory General. His opinion, as we shall presently show, was against the wait-a-while policy (or impolicy) of General GoDWIN. The commander commanding the naval forces dis patched a flotilla of five light steamers, commanded by Captain TARLETON, to survey the river Irrawaddy as far as the city of Prome (which is half-way to Ava, the terminus of the campaign), and to ascer tain the position and proceedings of the enemy. " General Gomm," continues the dispatch, " appears to have been opposed to the proceeding." The Friend of India remarks on the want of cor diality and co-operation between the naval and mili tary commanders, and says that, therefore, the com modore was " obliged to undertake this enterprise, not only without any co-operation, but amid much disapprobation." But what was the result ?—Cap tain TARLETON advanced to A-kouk-toung, the point where the Burmese force for the defence of Prome was posted (originally 40,000 men, with 35 heavy guns, commanding the channel, which is there 400 or 500 yards wide),—slipped past this dangerous posi tion, through a channel pointed out by a friendly native (the bulk of the natives are friendly), went on to Prome, and there captured 23 pieces of ordnance, and might uninterruptedly have gone on to Ave,— returned to A-kouk-toung, when he found the Burmese . army confusedly advancing to the rescue of Prome,—captured and destroyed between 40 and 50 boats containing warlike stores, — landed at the abandoned works of A-kouk-toung, and there captured 28 dismounted cannons, making 56 guns taken on the expedition. He bad been ex pressly forbidden to ascend to Ava—a place then utterly defenceless, and the capital of the empire ! The Commodore (and the result shows that he was right) had guaranteed to land 5,000 men at Prome, within five days, " but it is understood that General GODWIN was desirous of an undivided triumph, and that he considered the advance should be made en tirely by land, and declined the responsibility of moving forward until the dry weather had set in, and the force under his command had been trebled." And so, that this old man may have "an undivided tri umph," 20,000 troops, with artillery, are to march overland from Rangoon to Ave, a distance of 500 miles at least, which will occupy some weeks, proba bly leaving a third of this force on the way (whereas the steamers could easily convey them in a few days, without the slightest interruption from the enemy), and must await dry weather and triple increase in numbers. The Governor-General is stated to have adopted the go-ahead views of the Commodore (so well borne out by the success of Captain TARLEToN's expedition) in preference to the wait-awhile policy of the aged General. The question is, what will he do ? Lord DALHOUSIE is said to have asked for the immediate occupation of Prome ; General GODWIN to have declined being responsible for any movement until December. It appears doubtful which will be determined on—advance or delay. It might be thought that Lord DALHOUSIE, as Governor-General, should be able to carry on the war as he pleases, but he actually cannot supersede the aged commander whom he appointed, with whose conduct he has reason to be dissatisfied —the Government at home, it seems, alone can do this. All the accounts from India are unanimous in the opinion that the troops now on the spot are sufficient for the conquest of Burmab, provided the dash be made at once. We trust, if Victory is to crown our arms in the East, that the great obstacle—the aged GODWIN—may forthwith be put upon the shelf. The conquests of NAPOLEON were achieved by young leaders, taken, for merit, out of the line of seniority. When he himself was appointed General of the Army of Italy, at the ago of six-and-twenty► end one of the Directory commented on his youth, the reply was, " In six months I shall be a dead man or an old general." Even in the ease of our own WELLINGTON, had seniority alone been the rule, he would not have commanded in India, over the heads of senior officers, nor have been trusted to lead the army of the Peninsula. Where seniority forms the chief, if not the only qualification, it ought to be set aside, and command entrusted to more vigorous, more youthful, and more determined men. Is it likely that a General of the NAPIER or HARDINGE stamp would have determined, after a first defeat of the enemy, to wait calmly for four or five months (from August to December), in order to obtain "an undivided triumph" by means of an accession of military force, declining the nasal aid actually available on the spot ? The original error (pointed out at the time) was the appointment of such an old men as General GODWIN, simply because he was old, end had served in the former Burmese war. The way to correct that error is to recal him, and place the command in the hands of a soldier better fitted, by years and temperament, to lead our troops to im mediate contest and triumph. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Montpellier, Oct. 1, Half-past Two 7 u. " The Prince arrived at the terminus at half-past twelve. He was received amidst cries, a thou sand times repeated, of Vive I'Empereur r The crowd was immense on his passage, and the people were animated with an indescribable enthusiasm.

With regard to the tragical event which has oc curred in Paris, depriving one literary gentleman of life by the hand of a brother journalist, we extract the following from the Morniseg Advertiser of to-day. Mr. Bow . ER is known t o b e th e P ar i s correspondent of that journal, and an account of the sad affair has been supplied by himself for the private information of the editor of the Morning Advertiser : " Let us commence by remarking that we have every faith in the truthfulness of the statements of Mr. Bower, so far as the facts of the case are concerned. With regard to particular inferences which the unhappy gentleman may have deduced from certai n f acts, that is a point on w hi c h we_c w a h n ic e h xpr w e a ss s no so opinion.violent M e, rs t . o ßower,in her threaten to fatally every hour for several days—ex p so vehement a wish to see M r . M orton, that e d te x e r i m i r r e i i u n s s a m e t d e the physicians advised Mr. Bower, whatever his private feelings might be on the subject, to allow her to have her own way, thinking that Mr. M.'s presence might have the effect of subduing the extreme violence of her manner. Mr. Bower, under the circumstances, ac quiesced in the wishes of the physicians, and Mr. Morton came to his house, entered the apartment of Mrs. 8., and remained by her bedside, with a few brief intervals, several days and nights; Mrs. Bower being, let it not be forgotten, all this time in a state of dreadful de lirium, would receive no attentions nor nursing from any one but Mr. Morton, except in occasional in tervals, when she became somewhat more calm. Daring one of the brief periods of Mr. Morton's absence, Mrs. Bower stated that her last child, born four weeks previously, was not Mr. Bower's, but Mr. Morton's. On Mr. B. remarking that he ascribed the statement to the illness under which she was labouring, and did not place any faith in it, Mrs. Bower reiterated the assertion with increased emphasis, and said that, as a dying woman, it was true. Mr. Bower observed that, if he could believe it, either Mr. Morton or himself should, in less than an hour, be a dead man. She again energetically declared that the child was Mr. Morton's, not Mr. Bower's, and appealed to the housemaid who happened to be present, whether it was not true, that Mr. Morton had slept in the house several nights during Mr. Bower's absence from Paris, about nine months previously. The housemaid said that such was the fact. Mr. Bower then retired into the dining-room, where arrangements had been made for a hurried meal, when, unfortunately, while Mr. Bower's brain, according to his own statement to us, was mad dened by what he had heard, Mr. Morton entered the room. Mr. Bower immediately put the question to him, whether the horrible averment of his wife was true. Mr. Morton made no reply—ns ither admitted nor denied the grave charge which the question implied, but that instant rushed out of the room. Mr. Bower, on the im pulse of the moment, snatched up a knife which was lying on the table, and rushed after Mr. Morton, over taking him, as he had reached the fourth or fifth stair, and making a deep wound in the neck, which cut the jugular vein. Mr. Morton fell that instant, and never spoke a word, or even uttered a groan. Mr. Bower, acting on the advice of a relative who was in the house at the time, hurriedly put on an overcoat which was lying beside him, and, through the aid of a female ser vant, escaped by a back passage. " Such are the correct details of this most horrible affair. Mr. Bower and Mr. Morton had long been on terms of the closest intimacy, and, being engaged in the same pursuits, mutually assisted each other. " With regard to Mrs. Bower, whose unhappy con dition every one must deeply deplore, it is right we should say, that she is a lady of exceedingly amiable manners, as well as of great accomplishments, while her demeanour in society has always accorded with the most rigid views of female propriety, in the estimation of those who have been introduced to her. "In the compliment which the Paris correspondent of the Globe pays to Mr. Bower, we cordially concur. He is a man of great and varied powers as a writer. His information is extensive, and his style has always been characterised by a vivacity, a pungency, and a raciness, which have seldom been equalled. He is, too, a man of high moral courage, as he has amply attested by the bold and unflinching manner in which he has braved the Government of France, notwithstanding the threats of immediate expulsion from that country which have for some time past been hanging over his head. We have much pleasure in adding, that he most readily and heartily entered into all our views, as to the course which we have on various occasions instructed him to take. He was for a long time on terms of personal inti macy with Louis Napoleon, and was a frequent guest at the ; but in his zeal to act up to the wishes of the editor of this journal, he became, after the events of December, one of the most decided and most formidable foes of the President. "A man so devoted in his attachment to the establish ment with which he was connected, and who discharged the duties which devolved upon him with an unflinching, fearless, and surpassing talent, well deserves the tribute which we have paid to his services. Most deeply do we deplore the fearful catastrophe which has occurred, and very sincerely do wo sympathise with him in the dis tressing position in which he is placed."

We learn from Copenhagen, under date of the 29th—Last Monday great disturbances took place a: two public tea-gardens between the persons who fre quented them and some Holstein soldiers. It ended with a regular fight, in which more than 200 soldiers took part. A police officer and three civilians were so severely wounded that they were taken to the hospital. A court-martial has been appointed to in quire into the case, and find out who was guilty, The sub-corporals and privates of the 16th and 17th battalion of Infantry, and sth Rifle Brigade (all Holsteiners), have been consigned to their barracks ; none are permitted to go out after six o'clock in the evening. They are likewise prohibited from wearing their arms when not on duty. A permanent officer's guard has been established in Solvgassen barracks. A Royal resolution has commuted the court-mar tial's sentence of death upon Colonel SCROTA and Major WASMAR—in the case of ScuuTx to imprison ment for life and hard labour in the House of Correc tion ; and in the case of Major WASMAR, who was not in active service in 1848, to incarceration for life in the state prison. GREECE. We have accounts from Athens dated the 16th ult. The Chamber of Deputies were still enjoying their holidays ; all their work is finished, and they were merely waiting its ratification by the Senate. The Deputies receive their pay as long as the session lasts, even if they are doing nothing; and the senators are not anxious to hurry themselves, for they receive no pay during the recess. Meanwhile the treasury is empty, the military are paid with difficulty and by having recourse to a hundred bye means, and the civil authorities have not yet received their stipends for July. The prospects for the present year are not very bright. Two projects of law, which the Minister of War intends bringing before the Chambers, have occa sioned a good deal of dissatisfaction among the troops, especially among the Phalangarians. The one law gives the Government the right to assign to every Phalangarian and every officer net in active service his place of abode, from which he is not at liberty to withdraw himself. A power like this placed in the hands of a Minister whose actions are frequently the offspring of his passions is a dreadful scourge in the eyes of the officers who have hitherto been allowed to select their own place of residence. The officer not on active service generally chose his abode either where he bad relations or some little pro perty, or where he might live cheaply. Now, how ever, he is to be turn away from all these advantages, which alone enabled him to subsist upon his exceed ingly small pay, and to be sent to the other end of the kingdom at the arbitrary will and pleasure of a Minster of War. The other project of law relates to the wearing of the uniform when not in active service. As since the introduction of the constitution every Minister of War used to make a regular trade in the disposal of military preferments, it appears to be considered ne cessary now to make up for this. To this end the wearing of the uniform is prohibited to all officers not on active service. This measure chiefly affects the phalanx officers, who will now be compelled to purchase their own clothes. Whoever is acquaint e d with the position of these poor champions for liberty knows that the purchase of a suit of clothes is of vital importance to them. Among the projects of law preparing by the Mi nister of the Home Department is a pension law for the widows and orphans of civilians. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE ASSOCIATION.—We re cently announced that an Association was in process of for mation, under the above designation, for the purpose of placing the administration of her Majesty's Theatre on a stable and satisfactory financial footing, and of maintaining and extending the high reputation which it deservedly achieved under the able and enterprising management of Mr. Lumley. The ready response which the proposals of the Association have received affords proof that its projectors have not miscalculated the public feeling on the subject, and that the scheme detailed in their prospectus is regarded with approval in a commercial no less than in an artistic point of view. A large amount of busienss, we are told, is daily transacted in the shares of the company; and there can be no doubt that the originators of the Association will obtain all thtesm to support and th dc e kllest o-opera e co-operation which thchaerier enterprise. necessary to en able he The Renown has arrived from Port Phillip, whence she sailed the 7th of June, with 14,800 oz. of gold, Yalued at 59,200/.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, 2,500 American and 1,500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed with an upward tendency, and prices of all kinds were a shade against the buyers. The sales comprised 11,000 American, 500 Perham and Maranharn at 64d. to 74d., 250 Bahia at bid. to 7d., 2,000 Egyptian, 1,200 Surat at V i c'. to 4id., and 30 Sea Island at ls. 9d. to 2s. par lb.—Railway Shares were heavy at lower quotations. The suspension of Messrs. Walter Logan and Co. for 60,0001. to 70,000/. excites much regret, arising as it does from the proceedings of a partner at Lima, and it is hoped they will be enabled to make arrangements for a settlement, by having time afforded. The amount of gold by the ships Blundell and Renown from Australia is 22,817 ounces. About sixteen miles from Goulburn, on the Inver aloch Estate, New South Wales, a gold field has been discovered, the speciseens from which are elongated, similar to fine wire slightly flattened, from an eighth to a quarter of an inch long, but as yet its remunera tive properties are not developed. It is also rumoured, that a tributary stream to the Little River, is yielding gold in sufficient quantities to pay for work ing, in consequence of which a number of parties have had claims measured off, and are about to commence operations. On Bell's J'iat many aro doing extremely well, and some of the claims seem almost inexhaustible, yielding from twenty to fifty ounces per day; the dry diggings in this neighbourhood are also proving profitable, and even some parts of the creek are being worked a second time with great success. The Swedish loan, announced late yesterday after noon, excites very little attention, because being of such a small amount, it is readily understood that it wilt be absorbed by the contractors, Palmer, M`Killop, and Co., and their immediate friends. The amount is 450,0004 i❑ a Four per Cent. Stock, to be issued at /3, and with an instalment of 13 per cent. on allotment. This loan is not of itself important, but if we have many editions of such, we shall speedily attain to an aggre gate that will be something considerable, and beyond what is at all desirable. Upon principle we dislike foreign loans, except for special purposes, such as the promotion of industrial undertakings; and we may be sure that the extravagance of Governments is promoted thereby. We believe this will not be the last loan for Continental States that we shall have to notice ere long; and several guaranteed railway schemes are promised, some of a very tempting and solid character, and under contracts given to our leading contractors. Look ing to what has already been done in this respect, and what is yet to come, we antici pate rather a quick absorption of a good portion of the amounts received from Australia. Wo must bear in mind, however, that there NI ill permanently and periodi cally be a return of interest upon these loans and com panies that will keep the exchanges in our favour, and act as a counterpoise to the supplies of grain which, there is no longer any doubt, we shall have to draw to at least the ordinary extent from abroad. The exten- sive sale of our goods this " fall" in the United States is likewise an encouraging circumstance, as it will cover the advance in cotton and secure us, in all probability, a good amount of Californian gold besides.

Cheapside, and defendant is Sir Wm. Maguey, Bart., Alderman, &c.; and the claim was for V. 11s. for per fumery, &c., alleged to have been supplied to him about five years since. The plaintiff produced his books, from which it ap peared that articles were debited to defendant, but he was not able to prove the order or delivery. Mr. W. B. BucnINAN, Basinghall-street, cross-ex amined the plaintiff as to whether he was not aware that the defendant had never resided at College-hilt for nearly six years. Plaintiff said he knew that Sir William had left for some time, but at the time the goods were ordered in his name he (plaintiff) had no knowledge of the removal. He had never seen defendant on the subject, but had written to him without obtaining a reply. Mr. BUCHANAN, on the part of the defendant, denied all knowledge of the order or delivery of the goods. He was always ready to pay every farthing due, but would not pay for that which others had obtained, and of which he knew nothing until the action was brought. The Learned JUDGE said the plaintiff must be non suited. Mr. BUCHANAN applied for costs, as his client had been summoned in this court, although he resided at Guildford. Judgment was accordingly given for defendant with coste. --- SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY.

MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM THE NORTH.—It has been definitively arranged that the Queen will leave Balmoral on her return to England on Monday, the 1I th inst.; and it is stated that her Majesty will travel from Birmingham to Windsor over the Birmingham and Oxford line—this route being much nearer than by the North- Western. So far as the arrangements aro at present con cluded, it is her Majesty's intention, we understand, to pro ceed by the Midland line to Birmingham. At the junction, the royal train will proceed for a short distance along the Gloucester line, to that point at Sandy-lane, near the back of Trinity Chapel, where that railway crosses t h e B i rmingham and Oxford. Her Majesty will there chrnge caul:wee. Preparations are at present being made for the reception of the august party. A t emporary station, which is to be rather magnificently fitted up, is in course of erection ; and a staircase is being constructed for her Majesty's convenience leading from the rather hi g h embankment of the Gloucester line at this point to the lower level of the Oxford Railway. The exact . time of her Ili a j esty ' s arrival here hits not yet definitely dtolY gated. - -Rirmingliam thinrnat, D W i C A Coat Ai Fr Th condi reign o silver c aiastica the oth , Gratia; foreign margin The that ne opinion Where tl unusual not beer UNII of candi city is candidai and Phil M.A., la Rev.
