Vbition+ SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. FRAIN C We read as follows in the Paris correspondence of the Times : " As to the proper period for the proclamation of the Empire it is said that a difference of opinion exists even in the Cabinet; a few are described as being anxious that it should take place without any further delay, while others are desirous that the act should not be ac complished without the formalities which would give it the appearance of legality. Amongst the other parti sans of the Empire there were, and perhaps still are, some who would have preferred its being postponed until such time as the President married ; and in. their opinion the birth of an heir would be the most fitting occasion. The proposed union with the Princess Vasa is now, however, considered as at an end, and, as I have already mentioned, the failure of the negotiations is attributed to the interference or influence of the Em peror of Russia; and the result has not tended to remove the unpleasant feeling that previously existed. It is felt that even should the powers recognise the heredi tary Empire in the person of the Presid en t, it w ill not bo a recognition that is based on affection. The policy of the Russian Government in particular is made a sub ject of complaint by the more zealous partizans of the Empire, who go so far a s t o accuse it o f ingratitude towards the man who did so muc h to sa ve Europe from ' conflagration; whose services at the moment they were rendered were so highly prized, but now that the danger is over they art depreciated;' and they add, that though the President of the Republic did extinguish a i conflagra tion, yet ;o a t f ore i gn P owe rs were mistaken f they sup posed ttat every dangerous spark is put out, and that there is not still material s ufficient for the flame to shoot up again with as much intensity as before. Such a con tingency is referred to, partly by way of counsel— partly by way of warning.. The sensitiveness felt on. the subject of the . Empire is very great indeed. Same short time since a State paper, originally dawn by the Chevalier de Goute in 1804, at the mo ment of the procl a mat ion of the Empire of that day, wee published in a Dutch journal. The :paper referred to was intended not only to combat the empire, but to show the danger of the choice of the Chief 0f the State by popular e l ect i on , w hi c h, it was maintained, wou ld , sooner or lat e r, p u t an en d t o legiti mate monarchy i n Europe. In fact, but for the date of the document, any one might suppose that it was pro duced for the present occasion. It not only predicted with general accuracy th e even t s w hi c h h ave t a k e n pla c e since then, but it is applicable in every respect to the present situation. The republication of this paper, attributed, rightly or wrongly, to higher and more distant influence, excited a good deal of displeasure here, and it was for some time supposed that a communication would be made on the subject to the Dutch Government. It was soon perceiv e d, h o wever, that any step of the . kind must b e at t en d e d w ith f a ilure, and that no proceed ings could b e a d o pt e d by reason of the mere republica tion of a paper which was to all intents and purposes a historical document. These very obvious considerations bed their full force, and the matter was allowed to drop. It is not believed that any dissensions which exist or may hereafter arise amongst the Powers on matters of purely domestic interest, can weaken their unity of sen timent with reference to French affairs; but with refer ence to Austria nothing is left undone to revive the favourable feeling that existed previous to the death of Prince Schwartzenberg. Could the influence possessed by Russia over Austria be lessened a great point would be gained, and whatever may be the result, nothing is spared to conciliate the goodwill of that Power. On the question of the marriage li tle or nothing is now said beyond the filet that the President seems to take the matter very philosophically. The name of a young lady of very high rank, whose family has long tesen resident in France, is again spoken of—with what reason it is difficult to bay—but for the present this is not the most important, or rather the most urgent affair. The question is, whether the President's journey to the south bas been a triumph or a failure. Theta is considered by the Government in the former sense, we have only to look at the Moniteur and the Ministerial papers, and, at, all events, on its issue we are told was to depend the proclamation of the Empire. In other words—had the President met with a cold—not to say hostile—recep tion from the southern populations, that modest' title might he found sufficient. Had the contrary taken place, it was to be changed for a loftier one. It is ad mitted in any case that tne Prefects generally have done what was expected from them. It was rumoured a day or two ago that petitions were circulated in the faubourgs of Paris, demanding from tb e Senate that the President should be named Consul ' fee. life, but they made no mention of th e E m pire. I nave heard that a certain number of signatures, though not to any great extent, had been affixed to them. They are, however, attributed to certain members of the Bo neparto family, whose aspirations might be checked by the establishment of an Imperial dynasty." GERMANY. The 27th Regiment of Prussian Infantry, of which the late Duke of Wellington was the commander, will send a deputation to attend his funeral. It will be howled by the Colonel, accompanied by a captain and a first and second lieutenant. The reports from the districts where the cholera has prevailed continue favourable. In Koningsberg, from the 29.. h to the 30th September, only eight cases are reported and five deaths. In Birnbaum the disease has abated. In Ostrowa only isolated cases are reported. A similar report is given from Ortels berg, where the epidemic has been particularly severe, one-eighth of the inhabitants having died from it. From Posen no more reports will be made, the disease having so much decreased as to render it in the opinion of the authorities unnecessary. Up to the 30'_h of September there had been in all 2,571 cases and 1 356 deaths, exclusive of the fatal cases aroong the troops, which are returned at 200 more. Posen contains 40 . 000 inhabitants. THE ERUPTION OF ./ETNA. We have been fay.,ured with the perusal of a pri vate letter as late as the 16 h September, announcing the lava to have taken another direction, and is fast approaching Milo, the inhabitants of which, to save the wood, are cutting down their chestnut trees, and, of course, emptying their houses. A coasting vessel, the Mongibello, when lying at anchor near Catania, has been covered with sal am moniac, the issue from the mountain. A specimen has been sent to this island, and has been pronounced of the very best quality. Tile mountain sent it forth in vast clouds. We find the following graphic account of the lava in a 'utter, dated Ca'ania, Aug. 30:— " Yesterday, after breakfast, we reached Zaffarana ; from the last house in the village we saw the lava at gunshot distance, and at that distance the heat was way great. "The manner in which the extraordinary and frightful torrent advanced is not to be described—it must be seen. It moves slowly and uninterruptedly : the first waves, if I may so express myself, rise and fall at the least obstacle they encounter ; then send forth streamlets here and there, recede, extend them sqlves, and again advance. Now it is heard as a con tinned sound of glass breaking in the fire, nothing more, and now im mense d amag e succeeds. Every now and th en it i s arrested, denoting the presence of greater obstacles or of water. "By day all this grand mass presents an appear ance between red and yellow, sometimes dull, some times brighter. I can ill describe the spectacle by night. : that dull stream of fire, those clouds of ashes and sulphureous vapours, are beyond description, and sublimely horrible. The streams of lava are much higher than the surrounding land, for as the former beds have become solid the new lava flows over them. "In truth, nothing can be more picturesque, could we divest ourselves of the feeling of misery and grief which pervades this hapless region. " The lava flows over the richest and most cultivated part of the country, (lestroying vineyards, all sorts of fruit trees, and some houses. Conceive the misery that has fallen on many proprietors and colonists. " Since writinp the above, we have accounts from Catania to the 24th September, up to which date the eruption conti - nu ,d, • but without havi n g destro y ed an y village, thou , 11 rich vine y a rds, woods, &c., have been de yes tat e d." • Malta Mail. rHE, LSNDON GAZETTE.

Refined sugar, in conse quence of purchases, had slightly advanced. Rice and in digo continued to be operated in freely. The accounts from Antwerp and Hamburgh represent a similar position of trade. 1 Letters from Rouen allude to an increased amount of business in the market for manufactures, but quotations were not fayonrable, considering the position of the raw t material. T S U N, LONnON,_ TUESDAY EVENING-, OCTOBER 5 /859- MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 5.) SUGAR.—Today the West India Sugar market was in a favourable position; a large home trade demand prevails. and in some cases the rates obtained rather Exceeded those of Friday; although many arrivals have taken place during the last few days. A public sale of 180 hhds Barbadoes went at full rates to a small advance, brown realizing 30s to 325, common to middling yellow 32s 6d to 355, good middling to good 35s 6d to 375, and good grainy 38s 6d per cwt. — REFINED.—To-day there was a firm market for Re fined Sugar, with a very good home trade demand; brown lumps realized 41s, and low to fine grocers 44s 6d to 46s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar for shipping funds a more ready sale, and previous terms are well _ supported. MAIIRMITS —This afternoon holders of Mauritius Sugar displayed firmness, and offered none at public sale. Privately several parcels were sold at full rates to a small advance for other sorts of yellow. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon several purchases were made by private treaty in Bengal Sugar, and stiffer rates are obtained for white Benares, low to fine selling at 36s 6d to 40a 6d. None was offered at auction. Madras is wanted, and a public sale of 2,000 bags went at first rates, soft brown at 25s to 265, and ordinary yellow ditto 26s 6d to 27e. FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was much sought after, but business of the least moment was prevented by a want of supply, and rates tend upward. A small cargo of yellow Havannah was sold at 21s 3d per cwt for numbers 12i. COFFEE.—This afternoon a reluctance was evinced to make purchases in Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and prices were only prevented from declining by the limited quantity brought forward. At auction 106 casks and 70 bags were only in part sold at 51s to 52s for fine ordinary, and at 45s to 50s for other sorts. The market for native remains dull, and 42s to 43s is the value of low to good ordinary quality. Costa Rica meets with less attention, and rates are not so firm. A public sale of 1,050 bags went at 47s to 51s for good to fine ordinary. Of Mocha, however, supply is not ade quate for dealers' wants, and rates rather incline up wards. Tue.—Operations in inferior sorts of Congon have been to a large extent, and previous terms are well sus tained, whilst better kinds have been operated in more freely at former prices. The value of unsound is 7d to lid, ord to good common sound 8d to 80, rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf 9d to 10d, strong and Pekoe sorts lid to Is 6d per lb. Of common several par cels have been taken by exporters. The currency is firm for clean Pouchong at 5d to lid, there being no increase of sup ply or falling off in demand. Oolong is in good request, low to mid 9d to 11d, and good to fine is to is 9d. Fine Souchong has been much in demand at is 3d to is 10d, and is yet in scanty supply. Other sorts find a more ready sale, mid to good 10d to is 2d, and low, 8d to 9id. Purcnames continue on a large scale in true and fine Green, and previous valuations are well sustained; indeed in some cases a small advance has been obtained, but common ; Canton is yet dull of sale, and offering at low prices, stock being heavy. The following are the current terms for Green Teas, low to mid Hyson Is 13 to is 3d, good to fine is 4d to 2s 6d, choice 2s 7d to 2s 10d young Hyson Canton 7d to 10d, Hyson t kind la to is 7d, fine and superior is 9d to 2s 4d. Twankay 8d to is, Gunpowder Canton 7d to Is, Hyson sort is id to 2s 83, fine 2s 9d to 3s 6d; Imperial Canton 9d to Is Hyson sort la id to 2s 2d, and Hyson skin 6d to ficl. Flowery Pekoe at tracts greater attention, and the parcels sold were, com mon at is 2d to Is 3d, mid to good is 4d to le 10d, fine to superior 2s to 3s 6d. For Caper orders are not larger, and a desire is evinced to sell in boxes at 9d to 10d, and scented 7d to is 3d. In common and mid scented Orange Pekoe sales are trifling at 8d to I Id, but of good to fine many parcels have been disposed of at is to is 10d per lb. RicE.—Since Saturday East India Rice has been in very good demand, and private purchases are 8,000 bags at full rates to an advance. To-day it is difficult to buy mid white Bengal at 10s 6d, and common picket' Madras at 93 3d per cwt. Ilimao.—Exporters and home dealers have been again anxious to purchase East India, and the parcels disposed of were at a further improvement, making a rise com pared with last quarterly sales of 8d to 10d per lb, and since that period 7,000 chts have been sold. Opinion is also favourable with respect to the future position of the market, accounts from Calcutta being again very unfa vourable relative to the crop. Serarrs.—Prices have not advanced for Jamaica Rum, although large parcels have for shipping and home con sumption; there is, however, a plentiful supply of lower qualities. The rates accepted for choice sorts 36s to 39 per cent over proof are 3s 6d to 4s, fine 2s 103 to 3s 4d; 32 to 36 over good mid to good 2s 4d to 2s 9d, and mid 30 to 34 over 28 2d to 2s 3d. Demerara has been in excellent request, and quotations are firm at 2s 2d to 2s 3d for 33 to 43 over. Of Leeward Islands few parcels are to be obtained, and there are several buyers at Is 6d to is 6id proof. East India is wanted, supply scanty, and prices range firm at is 5d to Is aid proof. Several buyers of Havannah at is 4d to le 4d proof, and the quantity here is trifling. For inferior qualities rates remain under last sea son, but they are rather above for better sorts. A free sale exists for Brandy, and prices are higher for older sorts, new fully sustaining prerious terms. We quote Cognac best Brands of the Vintage as fol lows:-1851 at 5s 4d to 5s 6d, 1850 ditto 3s 6d to 5s Bd, 1849 ditto 5s 103 to 6s, 1848 ditto 6s 2d to 6s 4d, older 63 6d to 7s, low to mid qualities 4s to ss, and Bordeaux 2i 6d to 2s 83. Geneva is in good request at 2s to 2s Id, and home trade sort 2s 3d to 2s 6d. Only mode rate purchases have been made in British made Spirit. and a desire evinced to sell at 9s 6d to 98 8 , 1; Gin 17 under proof 8s 8d to 8s 9d, and 22 ditto at 8a 23 to 8s 3d per gallon. GINGER.—This afternoon a public sale of 49 barrels Jamaica went at 21 to 4/ 73, and fine 6/ las to 71 8s per cwt. Lec DYE.—To-day a public sale of 100 chests went at 3d to aid for Native marks, and at 9d to la for ord fac tory, these are full terms. FRUlT.—Currants have been in large demand, and it being quite evident supplies direct will be greatly under last season; rates are firm at 56s to 635, and new 60s to 655. Raisins are much in request; new Valencia at 45s to 469, and an impression exists there will be an advance. Ter,Low.—The market for Russian continues excited in consequence of an extensive home demand, with large buyers for the United States. Prices are again higher, ruling at 41s 3d to 41s 6d for fine old yellow Candle, and new 41s 9d to 42s per cwt. Important con tracts have been entered into for delivery, and the prices paid are 40s to 40s 6d for last two months of the year. Of home melted supply is even less than previously, and there being an increasing demand; sales cannot be made under 42s cash. Of other sorts of Tallow a less quantity is on offer, and at auction 370 casks Australian were nearly all disposed of ; mutton 57s 6d to 41s 6d, beef 39s to 40s; 220 pkgs South American 36s to 40a 6d; 42 ditto grease 30s 6d to 32 6d; and 11 casks Petersburgh Soap 40a for first sort. For auction on Fridaay 300 pkts are declared 011,1—There continues to be a reluctance to operate in Linseed Oil loth for shipping and home consumption; although sellers are willing to accept 28s 6d to 28s ad on the spot. For delivery little has been done, and 27s 6d to 28s is the value; the market is, how ever, not likely to remain long in a quiet state. Operations in Rape Oil are of Importance, and there is a further rise, brown selling at 32s 6d to 335, refined 34s 6d to 355, and Foreign 35s to 355 6d.

THE NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE ACROSS THE NIAGAZA.—The wire suspension bridge to be thrown across the Niagara for the purpose of connecting the Canadian railroads with those in the state of New York, is to be 800 feet in length from centre to centre of the towers. These are to be 60 feet high, 15 feet square at the base, and 8 feet at the top, and of so compact a material as to be enabled to bear a pressure of 500 tons upon every square foot. The weight of the materials of the structure is thus computed : Weight of timber, 919,1301b5. ; of wrought iron and sus penders, 113,1201b5. ; of castings, 41,3321b5. ; of rails, 69,7401b5. ; cables between towers, 735,4021b5. ; total weight of superstructure, 1,678,7221b5. The weight of a train reaching across the bridge is estimated at 400 tons, and the superstructure at 782 tons—making a total aggregate maxi mum weight of 1,273 tons. FIRE AT BRIXTON.—About half-past six o'clock last night a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. George Barrett, a trunk and portmanteau maker, at No. 20, Com mercial-place, Brixton-road. Thejlames were extinguished, but not until the workshops had been levelled with the ground, and the outhuildiuge of Mr. Grey destroyed, BURGLARIES IN CHESHIRE. This county, as well as the adjoining county of Lancaster, has of late been visited by a prig of bur glars, who, up to the end of last week, were success ful in committing several daring robberies without being detected. Late on Tuesday night, the 20th ult., the house of Mr. Miles Hob son, of Northwich, was entered and robbed, and on Wednesday night, the 22d ultimo, the house of Mr. Charles Balshaw, of Altrincham, was entered and robbed. On Saturday morning, John Molloy, 'an Irishman, was taken before Mr. Joynson, having been remanded from the previous day on a charge of breaking and entering the house of Mr. Balshaw, and stealing a quantity of books and other articles. John Bowden, of the township of Grange, farmer, stated, about three o'clock on Thursday morn ing he was passing through Altrincham, and on reach ing High-street, Mr. Naylor told him that he believed thieves were in Mr. Balshaw's shop opposite, and he de sired witness to look at the end of his house, which he did, and found a parcel containing a quantity of books, &c. He then aroused Mr. Balshaw and Mr. Turton (who lives next door to Mr. Balshaw's) while he kept watch at the cellar door, which he found open. In a few minutes Mr. Turton appeared, and went into Balshaw's and brought the prisoner out of the house. Isaac Turton described his entrance into Mr. Balshaw's cellar, where he found the prisoner was concealed in one corner of the cellar behind some coals. There were several parcels of books and some stationery packed up, and placed ready for easy re moval from the cellar by the window. On the prisoner he found some silver tea spoons, a bunch of keys, and some other articles. Charles Balshaw, the prosecutor, corroborated this testimony. The pri soner was committed to the next assizes. The thieves— for more than one had been there—regaled themselves with some of Mr. Balshaw's port wine, and they had either eaten or carried off some roast beef and plum "pies. Police-constable Simpson proceeded on Friday to Leed, where be apprehended Barnard M:Hugh and Mary M'Hugh on a charge of being ooncerned in this robbsry. On Saturday morning the police received information of a robbery at North wich, with a description of the missing articles. On Monday morning the two M'Hughs were taken before Mr. Joynson, and charged with the robbery at Balshaw's. Police-constable Simpson deposed to their apprehension at Leeds, and to having met the prisoner Barnard M'Hugh in company with John Molloy about five o'clock of the night of the rob bery, about a quarter of a mile from Altrincham, coming in a direction from Timperley to where the robbery took place. He also found a pair of Wel lington boots and a coat upon the male prisoner, who said they belonged to Molloy. Barnard M'Hugh was committed to take his trial at the assizes, but Mary M'Hugh was acquitted. The two prisoners were then charged by Mr. Halliday, special high-constable, with a robbery committed at Northwich on Tues day night, the 23d ult., the evening previous to the robbery at Balshaw's. Miles Hobson, of Northwich, deposed that on getting up on the morning of the 23d ult., about five o'clock, he found the cupboard doors in the kitchen all open, and that thieves had been in the hous e during the night. They had made an entrance through the cellar window. Amongst the articles stolen were a lilac printed dress, a black silk drawn bonnet, one white straw bonnet, one pair of stays, one grey alpaca dress, one bunch of keys, quantity of blue, 2 oz. of tea, and other property. When the prisoners were ap prehended at Leeds there were found upon them a pair of Wellington boots, a print dress, a white straw bonnet, and other property. Isaac Turton appre hended John Molley, and found the silver spoons and a bunch of keys. When apprehended he had no shoes on. The pair of shoes worn by M‘Hugh were foued on the premises of the prosecutor, on the night of the robbery. The prisoners were both committed to Chester Castle for trial. It appears the prisoners have committed no less than seven burglaries within he last two weeks. AMERICAN CHALLENGE TO BRITISH SHIPBUILDERS. It will be remembered that early in the past month there was wafted across the broad Atlantic from the American Navigation Club, a challenge to the shipbuilders of Great Britain, which created no little interest, and which, after the defeat then but just accomplished, of the magic yacht America , by one of our own little island craft, gave rise to no iuconsiderable speculation as to what might be the result of an acceptance of brother Jonathan's pro posal. The conditions of the contest were, that the ships should he modelled, commanded, and officered entirely by citizens of the United States and Great Britain respectively, and that they should sail with cargo on board from a port in England to a port in China, and back to the English port ; the prize for the winning vessel to be 10,0001., and to be paid without regard to accidents or to any exceptions. It was also a stipulation that the vessels were not to be under 800 tons, nor over 1,200 tons, American re gister. The American club empowered the Allem. Baring Brothers and Co., to enter into the speci fied conditions with our ship builders. The club also, by the lst clause of their terms, held themselves at liberty to withdraw the challenge should it not be accepted within thirty days. The limit of tune is now rapidly expiring, and it was with no little disappointment that the head of the eminent house of Baring and Co. was re ceived in New York a short time since, when it was found that he had nothing like an acceptance of the challenge to communicate to the American Club; but that, on the contrary, he had to report, "no inquiry as to the proposition I" As a sort of enticement, however, to our shipbuilders, the President of the American Navigation Club, Mr. D. C. Bacon, is authorised, should the present' challenge not be ac cepted within the "30 days," to allow the British vessel a start of 14 days before the departure of the Ame rican craft, and also to allow us a crew picked from seamen experienced in voyaging between English and Chinese ports, while their own crew is to be com posed of American seamen and officers whose expe rience is limited to sailing between American and English ports. The Americana, under the new con ditions, are willing to augment the stake to 20,0001., or to any higher sum than the 10,0001. of the present conditions most agreeable to us, but the last named amount to be the minimum. The Americans want a match, and it reflects somewhat upon our chivalry not to accommodate them. STORMS AND FLOODS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. For some days past (says a correspondent and eye witness) heavy rains have prevailed in the north of England, and all the streams have been great swollen, and many fields laid under water. Th rain fell heavily in the neighbourhood of Newcastle. On Thursday, along the line of the Great Northern after passing Peterborough, the effects of the heavy rains were visible in the washed roads and the pools in the lower portions of the fields. North of Darlington a mile or two the line begins to traverse a dead level, and for some miles we found the water standing for more than a hundred yards on each side of the line, which passes across the plain on a slightly raised em bankment. By and by the rails became altogether sub merged, and the engine, with its heavy tail of carriages, slowly proceeded to clear its way through an immense lake of from a foot to two feet in depth. A brilliant moon, shining through a clear frosty sky, lighted up the inland sea we were thus strangely navi gating, and showed the water flashing through the wheels of the carriages as through the paddles of many little land steamers. The tope of the fens here and there at the sides of the line were of the sele visible evidences of the roadway on which we were moving for about a mile and a half, and only by these and the trees and hedgerows arising out of the water could one be convinced that the train was actually tra versing an inland country, and not an arm of the sea. One of the up-trains of the previous night had to return to Newcastle after reaching Ferry-hill, the line northwards being then impracticable. At New castle the rain has been incessant and remarkably heavy f r more than a week. North of Newcastle the country has all the appearance of baying been thoroughly soaked by long continued rain, and the aspect of the sky still stormy and very unset tled,—Scotsman. THE FAMILY HOUSES OF THE BERLIN BUILDING ASSOCIATION. This association is formed of shareholders who receive 4 per cent. a year on their shares, and besides are re imbursed to the whole amount of their shares within twenty-nine years of the payment thereof. When a house is built by the association, the whole outlay of capital is divided upon the tenants of the house, so that each pays 6 per cent. a year upon the expenses of his apartment. From this calculation are deducted,—first, a reserve fund; and secondly, the probable running ex penses of the house for the year. Of the 6 per cent. thus paid, 4 per cent. go to pay the interest upon the shares, the remaining 2 per cent. for paying back the capital, &c. In this way the house is free from debt at the eud of the 29th year; or, in other words, it then becomes the freehold property of the tenants, wherever the apartment has remained in the same family during the whole term of thirty years. Should any one of the families leave before this term of thirty years has ex pired, but having lived in its apartments for at least five years, a certain sum is paid out to it, proportionate to the interest it had acquired to the property of the house. The association was formed in November, 1847: its patron is H- R. H. the Prince of Prussia. and it counts amongst its honorary members H. H. H. Prince Albert. Up to the end of 1851 fifteen houses had been newly constructed, and one fitted up anew: they contain 146 apartments, are inhabited by about SOO persons, one half of which number are children.—Builder. THE TEA TRADE, OCT. 4.—Last week the delive ries of tea in London rather fell off, being 600,3821 b. SPORTING BY STEAM.—On Wednesday, as the express train of the Morayshire Railway was crossing the Loch of Spynie, the funnel of the engine struck and killed a bird of aspecies called the northern diver, which was flying with a fish in its bill. • On the bird being secured it was found to measure from the tip of the tail to the beak 5 feet, and from wing to wing 4 feet 4 inches. Its prey was of goodly size, being neATIY ten inches in length.— Elgin Courant. IRELAND. POLITICAL HARANGUES FROM THE ALTAR. DUBLIS, SllNDAT. — 'file Tuam Herald publishes a lengthened correspondence which has passed between the Rev. Peter Conway, the Roman Catholic curate of Ballinrobe, and the Lieutenant-General command ing the forces in Ireland, arising out of circumstances which, unhappily for the peace of the country, are but of too frequent occurrence of late years to invest them even with the poor charm of novelty. It appears that on some Sunday in the month of August last a detachment of the 9th Regiment of Infantry, under the command of Ensign Taylor, attended Divine ser vice in the chapel of Ballinrobe, where the Rev. Mr. Conway officiated ; and the latter having incidentally touched upon the recent election for the county of Mayo, Mr. Taylor withdrew his men, under the natural impression that the priest was about to favour his auditory with a political harangue. Forthwith Mr. Conway wrote a long letter of complaint to Sir Edward Blakeney, the tone and Christianlike temper of which may be judged by the following passages : " St. Mary's, Ballinrobe, Sunday, Aug. 2q, 1852. " Sir,—During the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and immediately before reading the gospel of the day, I proceeded as usual to announce the parochial arrangements for the ensuing week; while doing so, En sign Taylor, 9th Foot Regiment, stood up at the far end of the church from where his men were placed, and swaggered in the most unbecoming manner through the people, and ordered out the soldiers, thereby creating great disturbance and confusion. Being obliged to sus pend my discourse until the noise had ceased, I expressed in a few words dissatisfaction at the extreme impropriety which had been observed by this stripling, without, how ever, alluding to the men, who manifested every reve rence, and remained somo time in their places on ac count of their seeing no cause or grounds for his ex traordinary conduct. Still he continued to disturb, confuse, and annoy the entire congregation. Sir, were this the first and only occurrence of this nature which had taken place here, I should feel in clined to overlook it, but coupling this with repeated instances of the same character which have occurred, I teel it is high time to put an end to the abuses, and to call attention to them in the pro per quarter, and in the name of the Catholic soldiers stationed here, who feel they have been insulted, and in the name of the parishioners and myself to request your earnest and immediate attention to the matter, and in the present case to demand a full investigation. The instances to which I allude are—first, when my respected pastor was interrupted, and on another occasion when I myself officiated. When I compare, Sir, the conduct observed upon this occasion with the gentlemanly, the decorous, and reverential demeanour observed by other officers in her Majesty's service in the like circum stances, I must conclude that it is not seal in their pro fession which inspires those malignant, sectarian, and anti-Christian demonstrations in those ill-mannered and offensive jackanapes. I forbear to characterise their con duct further, but I must again complain that on this oc casion the officer in command has practised, not against me, but against the religious feelings of a well conducted community—against the conscientious convictions of an orderly portion of her Majesty's subjects, and, above all, against the majesty of God, en unpro voked insult and an unwarrantable outrage; it would appear that in the Catholic Church alone, and towards Catholics, such conduct could be tolerated with impunity. I will, in conclusion, say, should any repetition of such conduct ensue, I shall feel it my duty to comply with the wishes of the parishioners, a❑d close the door of the chapel against any officer who will not conduct himself in a proper manner. The chapels, thank God, are our property, and not that of any scamping official. I would regret much to have re course to any such unpleasant alternative; but, Sir, there are at present stationed here about 60 Catholic men of the very best condact, and they feel they have been insulted. It is too bad that Catholic soldiers, who have fought your battles and devoted their lives to the services of the Crown, should not at least have their religious feelings respected; even some of the Protestant soldiers have told me they feel grieved when they hear of such conduct as was pursued by Mr. Taylor in our church." The postscript, like that to a lady's letter, contains ;be marrow of the communication . " P.S.—Pending this investigation, and until I have the honour of hearing your decision, the officer who may accompany the men to mass cannot get the usual accommodation. He will remain standing inside the door on the ground-floor. " P. C." To this Rockite notice Sir Edward mildly re plies : "Royal Hospital, Dublin, Sept. 2, 1852. "Rev. Sir,—l am directed by Sir E. Blakeney to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th ult., and to inform you that Sir E. Blakeney has sent your letter and the report of the officer commanding the troops on the occasion referred to to the Major-General commanding the district for investigation and report. And, with reference to the postscript of your letter, I am desired by the Lieutenant-General commanding to add that he trusts the usual accommodation will be given both to the officer and men in your chapel. "I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, "R. GREAVES, Mil. Sec. " The Rev. P. Conway." Upon receipt of' this, Mr. Conway addresses a letter to Captain Fenton, the officer commanding the detachment in Ballinrobe, repeating his complaint against Ensign Taylor, the "ill-mannered and offensive stripling," and stating that, in compliance with Sir Edward Blakeney's expressed desire, the officer, pending the promised inquiry, should get his usual accommodation in the chapel. Some further letters follow between the priest and the military au thorities, and the correspondence thus closes : " Cavalry Barrack, Sept. 10. " Major Borten held the investigation, and at the end of the Rev. Mr. Conway's examination he replied, that the second report of Ensign : Taylor agreed precisely with the letter of Mr. Conway to Sir E. Blakeney, and that he saw no necessity for calling in any further testimony from either the military or civilians. He said that he wished that the Rev. Mr. Conway should understand that the officers were most anxious to live on terms of kind feelings with the Catholic priesthood of Ireland; and that he regretted that any such unpleasant circum stances as the present should occur; that Mr. Taylor was . d ea f,' and he thought the service was over; and he (Mr. Taylor) thought when he (Mr. Conway) announced to the congregation, that if there should be any dying calls during the ensuing week from the poor-house or the town, the people should call early in the day, as he wou ld be among the country porion of the flock getting their offering s —and whe n he (Mr. Conway) said he re gretted m uch offering from o f n ro w m ay th w o a se s few persons who voted at the l as t e l ection aga i ns t th e i r aodo h o e u c u c t n r i y l:l n h o e t accept though thought an that y o creoligmmioenneing a political discussion." " RESULT OF TUE INVESTIGATION. 1; p a the 20th of September Captain Fenton called at St. Mary's on the Rev. Mr. Conway, and read for him the following communication:— Assistant Adjutant - General's-offiee, Limerick, 17th of Sept., 1852. " Memorandum. " The annexed copy of a letter, received from the Deputy Adjutant-General, is transmitted for the infor mation of the officer commanding the detachment of the 9th Regiment of Foot stationed at Ballinrobe, who will be pleased to communicate Sir Edward Blakeney's de cision to the Rev. P. Conway, by personally calling upon him and reading to him the Deputy Adjutant-General's letter herewith annexed. " By order, " R. N. D OUGL A S , Lieut.-Colonel, Assist. Adjt.-General. " The Officer commanding the detachment 9th Foot, Ballinrobe." (Copy.) •• • Adjutant - General's-office, Dublin, 16th of Sept,, 1852. " Sir,—l have had the honour to submit your letter of the 13th inst to the Lieutenant-General commanding, who has directed me to request that you will inform the Rev. P. Conway, Roman Catholic curat e o f Bailin robe, that after a careful perusal of the minutes of the investi gation made et B a llinrobe on th e 10 t h i nst., S i r Edward Blakeney concurs in opinion with Major Berton, 9th Foot, that although Ensign Taylor may h ave b een somewhat indiscreet and hasty in withdrawing the Roman Catholic soldiers from the chapel on the 29th ult., there can be no reason to suppose that he was actuated by any other motive than a desire to conform with the instructions contained in the circular, dated Adjutant-General's office, Dublin, September 14, 1843. In making this communication, the Lieutenant-General thinks it desirable that you should acquaint the R e v. Mr. Conway with the substance of those instructions, and at the same time inform him that when the lt , )man Catholic soldiers were withdrawn from the chapel on the 29th ult., Ensign Taylor was under the impression that the services were concluded, as was distinctly stated in the report he made on the subject on the same day.—l have, &c., ," JOHN EDEN, D.A.G.' " ' R. N. Douglas, L.O .A.G.' " EXTRACT FROM THE DISTRICT STANDING ORDERS GIVEN TO THE REV. MR. CONWAY BY CAPTAIN FENTON. " The soldiers, however, are not to remain atter the conclusion of the service to listen to exhortations on any subject not of a religious tendency. When the priest preaches in Irish it is not a sufficient reason for with drawing the soldiers, unless the officer is aware that the clergyman introduces other subjects unconnected with religion, and of a political or party nature." THE BATTLE OP THE RIVAL PORTS. According to the Limerick Chronicle, the Rev. Peter Daly, of Galway, has received a letter from Earl Derby, conveying his assurance that no an nouncement respecting the proceedings of the com mittee appointed to inquire into the merits of the va• rious ports as a Transatlantic packet station had trans pired by the authority of Government. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ROME. The Galway Packet has the following statement with reference to the alleged negotiations between the Courts of England and Rome : " It was currently rumoured that the Archbishop of Tuam, the Bishop of Clontert, and some of the other Prelates who are at present in Paris on business con nected with the Irish College in that city, were about to proceed to Rome for the purpose of counteracting any erroneous impressions which might have been created there by Sir Henry Bulwer during his late diplomatic interviews with Cardinal Antonelli. But we have reason to believe that this rumour is entirely without founda tion, and that these prelates will return about the 14th inst. The spirit evinced by the Cardinal Secretary of State on the occasion of th e E ng li s h E nvoy ' s interview has rendered any further explanations on the part of the Irish prelates altogether superfluous." THE FERMOI MURDER The Cork Constitution s tys:— " Subjoined will no found a letter from a correspondent in Fi-rruoy, giving an account of what has been doing in that town towards discovering the authors of the butchery of the unfortunate soldier Deegan. It will bo remem'vred that the morning after the murder con stable Cudmore, of the city of Cork constabulary, ar rested, neur the Great Southern and Western Railway terminus, on suspicion of b.ing implicated in the atrocity, a Ballyhooly farmer. Subsequently, important dis closures were made as to the names of persons who were concerned in the brutality. This information was re ceived ten days ago, and it is unaccountable why the persons were not taken up by the police till now:— " 'FE/MOT, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—At ten o'clock last night Sub-Inspector Somerville, on some informa tion which he received, started from this town with thirty of his men, and, after some trouble, succeeded in arresting some ten or eleven persons residing on and around the mountains of Ballyhooly, who have been, directly or indirectly, implicated in the above murder. On their return they gave Mrs. M.Grath, the landlady of the hotel where poor Deegan met his untimely fate, a friendly' call, and requested her to accompany them to Fermoy, where they arrived this morning at half past seven o'clock, considerably fatigued, and deposited their charge in the police-barrack here, where a private investigation is taking place before Mr. Neill Browne, R.M., and some of the local magistrates, the result of which will not be known for a few days.' " TIIE EXODUS. --- The ,Galway papers continue their mournings over the scenes daily witnessed there of emigrants leaving the railway terminus by the early trains to encounter the perils of a voyage either to America or the more distant region of Australia. The cry is everywhere " They go." The mania, it seems, has extended to the men employed in the constabulary force. The Belfast Chronicle observes— . We find numbers of this force are daily resigning for the purpose of emigration, even with some years service, and it strikes us that unless greater encou ragement be given, the ranks will soon be thinned without a chance of replacing them with any men, much less of that yeoman class which made it so re spectable. We are informed that recruits cannot be had without solicitation, and that the original arrangement (and indeed the Act of Parliament) has been cancelled in practice, by admitting persons in a raßk of life for bidden till of late. In the army, privates unfit for promo tion get additional pay for service and good conduct, but in the constabulary, we are informed that a constable of ono year a service gets as much pay as those who may have served 20, alth3ugh to the satisfaction of all his superiors. Surely this is no encouragement, when men spend the best part of their lives in a highly responsible situation, and are unfitted for active life afterwards; be sides, even where there is intelligence, education, and everything required, still no vac,,ncy offers for promo tion. It would be a good addition to the statistics of such matters to find out the average promotion of all ranks, for we are of opinion that when officers and men have done their work, and could retire on full pay, it is an injustice to the public and the service that such mem bers should continue an incubus to the advancement of their juniors." SALE OP ENCUMBERED ESTATES. The two remaining lots of the Kerry estates of idessrs. John and Morgan O'Connell were sold in Tralee on Saturday, subject to the final approval of the Commissioners of Encumbered Estates. The purchase-money for both lots amounted to 4,520/. The new proprietors of this remnant of the property are Dr. Barry and Colonel Thomas Bourke. THE GREAT FIRE IN SPITALFIELDS. OFFICIAL REPORT. The fire which broke out on Sunday evening in the premises of Mr. S. Grimsdell, Bell lane, Spitalfields, reported in this journal of yesterday, was far from being wholly extinguished at six o'clock last evening. The property that has been destroyed by this disas trous event is much more serious than was fl'icipated. During yesterday a very searching inquiry was made by Mr. Dimsdale, and also by the Brigade au thorities, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, how the fire was caused, but without anything satis factory being obtained. " Sunday, Oct. 3, 1852, called at 7i r.ai. to a fire at the premises of Mr. S. Grimsdell, builder, Bell lane, Spitalfields; the cause of fire unknown.

I.—The planters are rapidly clearing their grounds, but the picking has for the last few days been much interfered with by the heavy rains. The bops come down well, but there aro places where the mould has been destructive. A heavy duty is talked of, even 270,0001. The samples are very good. BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA.—We are proceeding with the picking as fast as the weather (which has recently been very unfavourable) will permit. We shall produce a very fine sample, but much difference of opinion exists as to the average growth per acre, some thinking that 15 cwt. will be obtained, while others say the average will not be above 10 cwt. CHART SUTTON.—We are proceeding with the picking as fast as the weather will permit. There has been much rain, and that does us no good ; gene rally speaking, however, there will be a large crop and a fine sample. LEEDS.—The crop in our neighbourhood fully answers the expectations of the growers; the yield is very good. We are picking as fast as we can, but are interfered with by continuous and heavy rains. YALDlNG.—Picking is fast proceeding; but we feel the effects of the heavy rains and winds. There is a guantity of mould. MARDEN.—The picking is going on very satisfac tory. The hops came down in excellent condition. We shall have a good sample, and pay a heavy duty. BILIGHTLING, SEPT. 30.—The high winds are bat tering us about and we shall not finish picking till the latter end of next week. Upon the whole we shall get as many as we expected. The duty will not, in our opinion, pay anything like what some people suppose. GOUDHUUST, OCT. I.—Hops are still going on satisfactorily, notwithstanding we have had consider able rain, which, in many seasons, would have seriously injured them. The quantity is, in general, above what was anticipated, the colour and condition good. ASHFORD, SEPT. 30.—The hops come down re markably well; a good crop and free from disease. WESTHAM, SEPT. 29.—The hopping is drawing to a conclusion, and the quantity will come somewhat short, owing to their weighing light at the commence ment. The quality is very superior. FARNHAM, SEPT. 30.—The grounds are nearly all cleared; those planters, though, who have not cleared their grounds, we expect, will lose for quality, as the hops are " going off," although they had not begun to pick them before they were ripe. Duty 240,0001. —Surrey Standard. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
