BRUSSELS, Ocr. 24.—The Englishman Mr. Cauty, accused of defacing public monuments, statues, &c., has addressed to the tribunal of the first instance a petition to be set at liberty, on giving bail to the amount of 2,000 francs. His application has just been rejected. Yesterday Charles Meinoke, M.D., aged 41 years, a native of Hamburgh, was transferred by the Gendarmes to the frontiers of France. He has been expelled from the kingdom as a foreigner, by order of the Chief of the Police. BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—We learn that their Majesties and their children will not come to reside in the Palace at Brussels till the end of December. It is next week, as we hear, that the King will go to Paris. BRUSSELS, OCT. 26.—We hear that Mr. Charles Pel ham Villiers, Member of the English House of Commons, has arrived at Brussels. A Journal says, that this cele brated antagonist of the Com-laws, has come to Belgium to study our political and commercial institutions. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 25. —Se eond Chamber of the States-General:— A message from his Excellency tl►e Minister of Finance was read, stating that his Majesty the King, with respect to the nomination of the two Members_of the General Chamber of Accounts, by whom the num ber of Members of that Chamber is to be increased con formably to Art. 1 of the law of 3d Oct. 11141, will not exercise his right of nomination, but, agreeably to Article 200 of the fundamental , law, ►ill wait for the nomina tion of three candidates to each of these places, in order to select one out of each list. , M. Luzao expressed a wish that that message, being of a peculiar nature, might be printed for the use' of the Members, which was unanimously agreed to. A. message from the Minister of Marine and Colonies of the 22d of October was read, accompanied, in con formity with Article 59 of the fundamental law, with a statement of the revenue and expenditure of the East Indian colonies in 1841; a similar statement for the West Indies, and a third for the coast of Guiana, toge ther with a ll necessary documents. The public sitting was then closed, and the Chamber formed Into a Secret Committee, in which it is supposed that the Committee appointed to draw up the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, brought up its Report. TILE HAGUE, OCT. 24.—1 t is generally said here that his Majesty King William' Frederick has given up his intention of coming to the Hague, and will very shortly return with the Countess to Berlin. In consequence of this resolution, we learn further that the visit of their Majesties with the Royal Family and the Court to Am sterdam, will not now take place. It is affirmed that his Excellency Baron Huysen Van Kattendyke is resolved, and is seriously engaged in making great reductions in the Budget of the department of foreign affairs. His Majesty has resolved that froin the Ist of January, 1842, the Marine shall be separated from the Colonial department, and made a distinct department under a Director-General and a Secretary-General.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Herald.) PORTSMOUT/L—Arrived on Sunday from the Medi terranean, her Majesty's ship C a ry s f or t, 26, C a pt a i n Martin. She left Malta on the 14th September, and Gibraltar on the Bth instant. She brings no news what ever, and has experienced tremendous weather in the Bay of Biscay. The Britannia, 120, Captain Mansel, and Tyne, 26, Captain Townshend, were to leave Malta for England about the 25th September. The Monarch, 84, Captain Chambers, was the only ship of war at Gib raltar, and an American frigate; the Scout, 18, left for Malta on the 22d September. The Carysfort was mus tered and inspected by the Port Admiral on Monday afternoon, and the crew went through the usual gunnery exercise with great precision. The ship will be paid off at this port, and is come into the harbour. The Alfred, 50, is ordered to be commissioned at Sheerness, for the broad pennant of Commodore John Brett Purvis, who proceeds to Rio de Janeiro as succes sor to Commodore Sullivan. According to a private letter the Formidable, 84, Cap tain Sir E. Troubridge, is to come round from Chatham to Spithead, to complete her equipment and complement of men. The most active exertions are making to complete the equipment of the Illustrious, 72, Captain Erskine, and Madagascar, 46, Captain Foot e , or d ers h av i ng arr i ve d here to send them to the West Indies immediately they are ready, which is expected to be in about ten days. It is reported that Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., of the Warspite, 50, at this port, will proceed to Lisbon as Commodore ; but we disbelieve it. The Vindictive, 50, commissioned by Captain Toup Nicholas at this port, has received a draft from the late crew of the Belleisle, 72, several of the seamen being de sirous to follow their former Captain. There is a rumour that that most efficient arm of the naval service, the corps of Royal Marines, is to be forth with augmented to 2,000 men. The guccess hulk,.stationed at Spithead for Colonel Pasley's operations on the wreck of the Royal Geo! ge, is forthwith to be removed into the harbour until next summer, when the work will be re-commenced. The Snake, 18, is commissioned at Chatham, it is re ported for the Mediterranean, by Commander the Hon. William Devereux. The Thunder, Commander Barnett, and Lynx; 3, Lieut. Burslem, are hourly expected at Spithead from the river, on their way to the West India station, the former on surveying service. The brig Pantaloon, 10, Lieut. Crozier, is likely to go to the coast of Africa ; she is nearly ready to proceed. At Spithead—No vessel of war. In Harbour—St. Vincent, Queen, Victory, Illustrious, Vindictive, Warspite, Belvidera, Madagascar, Carysfort, North Star, Hazard, Pantaloon, Apollo, Driver, Viper, and Tender. THE CENSUS OF 1841. POPULATION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. From the results of the census which has just been concluded, it appears that the population of Great Bri tain and Ireland in the present year amounts to upwards of 27,000,000 of souls. The return for the three king doms, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, is as follows: 15,901,981 2,624,586 8,205,382 124,079 England and Wales Scotland Ireland Guernsey, Jersey, and Man Total 26,856,028 This is exclusive of the army and navy, and merchant seamen afloat, and of all persons travelling abroad, or not under a roof en the night of the sth of June. Includ ing these classes, the population may be safely taken at 27,000,000, which is an increase of about 2,000,000 since 1831. If to this is added the population of the colonies dependent on this country, it will be found that the sub jects of the British Crown are more numerous than that of any other civilized monarchy or republic on the face of the globe. After making every allowance for possible exaggeration or uncertainty in the accounts of the Indian or Australian population, we may safely say that her Majesty Queen Victoria is the sove reign of a hundred millions of subjects—a larger portion of the human race than has ever obeyed any one Euro pean sovereign since the downfal of the Roman empire. The population of the other great Powers of Europe and America at the present time is pretty nearly as follows, of whom perhaps thirty millions may be of the Russian race, and the rest a mixed multitude of Cossacks, Cal mucks, Tartars, and other wandering tribes, or of Poles, Lithuanians, or Caucasian mountaineers, bitterly hostile to the Russians, and either in open insurrection, or only wait ing for an opportunity of being so :—France, 35,000.000, of whom 33,000,000 are Frenchmen in the proper sense of the term, and about 2,000,000 Algerino or French colo nists in the West Indies, Cayenne, Senegal, the Isle of Bourbon, and Pondicherry ; Austria, 30,000,000, com posed of Germans, H ungar i ans, I talians, and Illyrians ; Prussia, about 14,000,000 to 15,000,000 of Germans ; and the United States, 14,000,000 of freemen, chiefly of the Anglo-Saxon race, and 3,000,000 of negroes, chiefly slaves.—Liverpool Times. WOOLWICH, OCT. 27.—1 t is not generally known that a museum has been originated by the Royal Sappers and Miners, at head-quarters, at Woolwich. U has now, however, become of considerable importance, and continues gradually to rise in interest and respecta bility, and during the past quarter especially, many very excellent and important articles have been presented to it, among which may be particularised a finely-executed model, on a very neat scale, by Colour-Sergeant IL Munro, of an elevated battery for three guns and four mortars, with traverse and a field powder-magazine. The museum is only in its infancy, having been estab lished in 1839, and yet it now contains a very tolerable collection of coins and medals, organic remains, wood s , minerals, polyparia, shells, birds, and other specimens of natural history, with a variety of weapons, models, relics from the Royal George, and a number of articles to illustrate the manners and customs of heathen countries. From this epitomical statement it is evident the non commissioned officers have ample materials at their dis posal to aid them in the acquirement of useful and scien tific information. A very excellent batch of recruits, 28 in all, arrived at head-quarters on the 19th inst., from Edinburgh and Glasgow. The recruiting for this corps has recently been carried on with great sprit and zeal, and the success which has followed the labours of the pan ies are n t o v w fuo n uL e r a L rl ) . parties employed has been greater lately than has been known for years previously.

DUBLIN, Om 26.—The weekly meeting of Repealers took place to-day in the Corn Exchange; Mr. M'Clelland in the chair. = When Mr. O'Connell entered:the meeting, which was very numerously attended, lie was loudly cheered as the new Mayor. Amongst those near the Chair was an eastern Prince, atti re d i n the. costume peculiar to his country, whose appearance attracted, much attention. His name is Cona sc hi courzetchelli, and' he is about to visit the mansions of sOnie noble fainifies in this country. Several letters from AtheAcalitlie read—from Brooklyn, enclosing 40/. ; from Quebec; enclosing 50/. • • Mr. O'Connell moved. the insertion on ,the minutes of the document from Cadadal.and expressed his de,. light that the Canadians could' be admitted to mem bership in that • Association, .as they ,were. British subjects: Their American.. friends, although _not ad missible as. members, could co-operate with Ireland by sympathy, by their contributions, and by forming public opinion in their favour. As a British legislator, he had always voted against every oppression sought to be in flicted on Canada, and in favour Of any measure brought forward,' for her relief, hilt the moment . her inhabi tants had the folly and wickedness to resort to arms, he ceased to interest himself in their behalf. Had they kept within the limits of the law they must have been successful, but'when they attempted force.they.found the British too power/T.l with bayonet and cannon, and were put down as. they deserved : to be.. His secret was to be, always in the right, and never to violate the law.—• (Cheers.) He was, therefore, glad of the opportunity Of making a mark e d distinction between the maniac strug gles of Papineau and, the peliCeful agitation in which he (Mr. - O'Connell) was ' engaged.--(Hear, hear.) Two other communications from America were then read by the Secretary ; one from Philadelphia remit ting 2001., the other from Boston enclosing 1004 which were received with vehement cheering. , Mr. O'CoNNELL said, that lie would close the corres pondence from America for that day by reading a letter from Judge Doran, of America, and he pledged himself that one of the first letters which he would despatch from the Mayoralty-house would be one in reply to him.— (Cheers.) The generous sympathy of their friends in America overpowered him, and' he wanted language to express his gratitude. They had received by that day's. post no less a sum than 350/. ; and it was not, therefore, surprising, that grateful thankfulness to America fur Munificent•contributions should be the prevailing senti, ment throughout Ireland.=—(Cheers.) He sincerely hoped that nothing would 'occur to sever the bonds now existing betweenirishmen an d Americans, Anil that the " vexed spirits" at both sides of the Atlantic would be quelled by their mutual good sense. He had read with the deepest horror and disgust a' paragraph in the Times, in which the writer had the audacity to threaten the great American nation. IleAsia the unpardonable impudenee and audacity to strive to bully 'and terrify a people amounting in number to 17,000,000. What was this writer's object ?—evidently to - foment a war be tween the two countries.—(Hcal,iheirr.) It was a most traitorous document—injurious to 'the country—men acing blood and war—dangerous to ~ the. throne, and inimical to national liberty throughout the world. Was the man insane enough to fancy that his paper thunder could terrify the noble American people ? He might as well think of frightening s.okliere with a pop-gun, or beating back a regiment of grenadiers with the squeak= ing of a child's penny trumpet.--(Laughter and cheers.) There was a pride about republicanism-- for the Repub lican had no master—which was apt to be exaggerated' and to lean to irritation and excitement. This the `Times knew well, and intended nothing biat mischief in sup porting the Tories by articles like that to which he- re.- ferred. • However, they would meet with no sympathy from Irishmen. Irishmen would never enter into an insulting crusade against the Americans. They would continue to obey the law and support the Tkone,; but at the same time, and above all, they Would' hold' firm' attitude of defiance towards that miscreant faction the Tories, and their lying, villanous, and insulting organ, and show' that the harmony between Britain and America could notbe disturbed. Was it not enough that the TOries.had a pre-- ponderating influence in both Houses, and controlled the Queen—a power obtained by depriving the operative of cheap bread; by giving the aristocrat two slices of the loaf without reserving a morsel for the poor man? Was England insane? Was her destruction coming on, and was that insanity indicative of her approaching dissolu tion? . He hoped sincerely that,the omen might be false, and concluded by moving the insertion of the letters frorn ' America on the minutes. Several communications having been read; • Mr. O'CONNELL again 'rose, and said, that he should move that the meeting at itS rising should adjourn until that day week, because on Monday they would be en gaged in'electing the new Lard Mayor.—(Cheers.) He congratulated= the citizens 'du ':the triumph which .had been achieved, and announced that out of fifteen Wards,. the Radicals had obtained eleven. With regard to, the triumph-.they obtained, he called on his fellow-citizens to rejoice and be glad.—(Cheers.) s4 They had cause, but still though the old Corporatioe, was the most robbing, jobbing, peculating one that evfr eAisted, they would forgive them now— they would bury iE in the "Devil's Pit," where the Tipperary boys buried the tithes—they were gone, joy 'be with them.—(Laughter.) There he was now Alderman of two Wards—(Cheers)—and Member for two counties ; but what he liked best—there he was a Repealer.—(Cheers.) But the most disgraceful means were employed against them. Some said, " Vote for the Government candidates ;" otheri said, " Will you vote for the Papists ;" and Mr. Alexander Ferrier moved the influence of the Bank of . ..lreland against them. They threatened, bribed, worried, vexed, ,harrassed, and yet they were defeated, and he would be the first Magis trate in the first City of his native country, and he would use his beSt exertions to be patient - and impartial in performing the duties of his new officd—in exercising it with a total absence of sect ar ian or party st r if e or fa vouritism—and with the sole view of lessening the bur thens and increasing the franchise of his fellow-citizens. --(Cheers.) No person should expect of him to show favouritism to cast or creed. He loved his friends—he t 0 00rfgoarvge themei vhisan enemies,la at a se and he was tter humour The meeting was adjourned to this day week. EXTRAORDINARY ACCUSATION OF ROBBERY. WINDson, WEDNESDAY.—The ~Mayor and Magis trates of this borough have been engaged during the last four sittings of th e B ench i n i nve stigating a charge of alleged robbery brought by a lady named Sarah Anne Gwynne, th e w id ow of the late Colonel ,G Wynne, re siding in the Lower Cloisters (Windsor Castle), against her servant, whose house, it is gtated,hwas robbed be tween Thursday night, the 14th instant; and the follow ing morning, of various articles of jewellery, consisting of a gold chain and bracelets, a large gold cross studded with garnets, a locket containing a portrait of a General Officer set in enamel and pearls, portrait-of an infant in a double gold case, pearl and brilliant brooches, a large star of rose diamonds, gold rings and seals, cornelian necklaces, &c. The proceedings occupied the time of the Magistrates on Saturday, the 16th instant, and the following Tuesday and Friday, and also yesterday, when they were brought to a close. It appeared that upon the accused, Maria Anne Hea ton, the servant of Mrs. Gwynne (and who had been in her service for two or three months, having been engaged by her at Jersey), going down stairs on the morning after the alleged robbery, she discovered that a rosewood writing-desk, containing the above-named articles, was missing from the drawing-room, She immediately in formed her mistress, who was in bed, of the circumstance. Mr. Gillman, the superintendent of Windsor police, on examining the premises, felt confident that the house had not been broken into. The cellar was then minutely searched by the police, but no portion of the missing pro perty was discovered. A pair cof new pincers, however, were found upon the ledge of the cellar-windciw. In the course of that day (Friday) the, .a,eensed, Maria Anne Heaton, having been suspected of eing concerned in the robbery, and treated unkindly by her mistress, she stated to Mrs. Gwynn° that she would not gs to bed that night, and went to the police-station and gave herself up, with. out any charge having been preferred against her. On the following morning (Saturday) a woman named Roach, who had been sent for to assist in the household work at Mrs. Gwynne's, saw, upon going into the cellar to draw some beer, the missing writing-desk. The girl Heaton was then taken before tha Magistrates that afternoon. It appeared, on examining the marks upon the desk which had been broken open, that it had been forced by means of the end of the pincers found in the cellar ; and there were found to be missing the greater portion of the jewellery above described. The prisoner was then remanded until Tuesday, when, after examination (during which nothing was elicited to criminate her), she was again remanded till Friday last, when Mr.Williarns, bar rister-at-law, and Mr. Martin, the solicitor, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Voules for the prisoner. Mrs. Gwynne was then cross-examined by Mr.Voules, and the substance of her evidence Was as follows :—The iY w prisoner has only been out of the house t wo or t h ree times since she has been with me in Englanda.s discover the me de) m s i h d ed again seemed until n f e Friday tdh e desk uneasy, ( t nfd h e wasa dayo found, h nd, and s h e would rather a would not serve go to gaol, and return when the thief or desk was disco vered. I thought it very extraordinary, if she were the thief, she had not taken another desk, which contained my money. Several of my friends, including Mr. Wil liams, the barrister, searched the cellar during Friday, but they did not find the desk, which was discovered there the next day by Mrs. Roach. I never knew the prisoner have any visitors. The deposition of Mr. Gillman, the superintendent of police, having been read over, and being asked if he had anything more to add, he stated that he was positive the two cases found by the witness Roach in the cellar on Sa turday wore not there when he carefully searched the place the day before. Mrs. Roach was then called in, and her deposition read over. Upon being cross-examined by Mr. Voules, she admitted that she had been listening at the door during the whole time she was out of the jastice-room, for which she was severely admonished by the Bench. She then deposed as follows :—I went down with the candle to draw some beer, when I saw the desk. I went up stairs, and told Miss Gwynn° of it, and she returned with me to the cellar. We then took it up into the draw ing-room to Mrs. Gwynne, who crlxamined it, and it was afterwards taken back to the cellar. I swore in my upon ne Bench, an d applied goin g i nto t h e cellar. former evidence 'that the police wer e t h e first to remove it, but it was removed by me first. A ny b ody with eye sigmktr.colvia ul i d ll ha m ve s for the further hearing of the case t o be postpone d, pledging his professional reputation th at if the prisoner were remanded till Tuesday, he should th en b e able to produce further and sufficient evide nce to connect her seen then the addressedd es p with the robbery. The Bench consented. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, upon the case being called on, neither the proseeutrix, nor her counsel or solicitor were present. The MAYOR then said, that as no f urt h er ev id ence I 1 Lad been produced, he should certainly order the accused to be instantly discharged. Mr. Voules complained with considerable warmth, of the conduct of the prosecutrix in having kept his poor client incarcerated in the station-house for twelve days, and now abandoning the prosecution, especially a ft er t h e solemn pledge of her counsel to produce important evi dence to-day. It was moat unfair towards his persecuted client, and the public, that the groundless charge should be so attempted to be swamped and hushed up. The MAYOR said -that the case on Friday was ad journed only in consequence of the Bench relying upon the prothise of Mr. Williams. Yesterday lie (the Mayor) received a communication from Mr. Williams, stating ..that no further evidence would be produced, and that the girl might be discharged ; " but," observed the Mayor, " I sent a message to Mr. Williams to the effect, that as the girl had been publicly in that hall accused of the robbery, she had a right to expect to be, and justice demanded that she should be, as publicly discharged."—(Considerable applause amongst those present followed this announcement.) Mr. Voules complained of the infringement, in this case, of the liberty of the subject. Ile would say, and publicly too, that it was a most gross prosecution ; not a tittle of evidence had been brought forward to connect the accused, in the most remote way, with the alleged robbery, and had it not been for some kind friends (gen tlemen who were present), unknown to the) oo,r girl, stepping forward in her behalf, she would hare been left, in a strange country, totally unprotected.—(Applause.) Mr. Martin, solicitor for the prosecution (who had a few minutes before entered the room), then stated that . the prosecutrix had no further evidence to offer against ' the prisoner. Mr. BLUNT observed that if Mr. Williams had not pledged himself to bring forward further evidence to-day, the accused would have been discharged by the Bench at the last examination. J. B. SHARPE, Esq., one of the Magistrates for the county of Bucks, who chanced to be present, then rose, and after alluding to the painful and unprotected state of the accused, suggested that a subscription b e en t ere d into to defray her expenses back to Jersey; and that he would be happy to assist, with others, the unfortunate girl. The 'Magistrates perfectly coincided in the views of Mr. Sharpe (who subscribed a guinea towards the girl's expenses to Jersey, an example which has since been followed by several of the principal inhabitants of the town), and the girl was then discharged. She will be taken care of till she leaves for Jersey. ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING. UPROAR AT CARPENTERS' HALL. In pursuance of a resolution adopted by a meeting 'of the working classes, held in the Old Manor Court-room, on the 13th inst., a meeting of deputations from the va rious trades, workshops, mills, &c., was held in Carpen ters'-hall, on Monday evening, to consider the best means to be adopted for effecting the repeal of the corn and pro vision monopolies. The attendance was very numerous —the gallery and platform were completely filled, and the remainder of the room nearly so. It was announced that Col. Thompson would attend, but the Gallant Gen tleman did not come. At eight o'clock it was proposed that Mr. 'Watkins should be appointed Chairman. This was met by a counter-proposition, on the part of the Chartists, that Mr. Bailey, a Chartist, should preside. This difference of opinion with respect to the choice of a Chairman was expressed in no very measured terms by the Irish operatives on the one side, and the Chartists on the other ; but, when Mr. Bailey announced, that " even if eected as Chair intai, he would not preside, because the people of Man chester had shown that they could not behave them selves," the meeting became greatly excited, and a gene ral row took place, from which very serious results were apprehended. A " regular set-to," immediately under the platform, had (however paradoxical it may appear) the effect of restoring order, by attracting to the spot the other disorderlies, who made a ring, and showed, what they called, " fair play." In about five minutes. one of the belligerents yielded, and the victorious party was taken upon the platform. Order being then restored, Mr. Watkins proposed that he should occupy the Chair, and that Ara. Miley, the Chartist, and Mr. Hague, a Corn-law Repealer, should act as umpires, in case his (Mr.Watkins's) decisions should be disputed. This pro position having satisfied both parties, Mr. Watkins took the Chair amid loud cheers, and having read the adver tisement calling the meeting, entreated a fair and impar tial hearing for the speakers on both sides. Mr. Warren, in a lengthened speech, which was heard with much at tention, moved the following resolution : "That this meeting of deputations from various trades, mills, workshops, &c., in Manchester and Sal ford, and of the working classes generally, loudly pro test against the injustice and injurious operations of the corn and provision monopolies, and pledges itself never to rest satisfied until monopoly is for ever done away with, and compensation for years of misery is made by the aristocracy to the labouring millions ; And that, in order to effect the object in view, this meeting do adopt the following addresses, and that it calls upon the la bouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland generally, to send deputations to a conference of labouring men, to be held on New Year's Day, in Manchester, for the pur pose of devising some effectual m eans for btaining the total repeal of the bread and provision taxes, and the compensation of the long-plundered bread eaters." Here followed two addresses ; one to the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland, and the other to the working men of Birmingham, calling upon them to use their most strenuous exertions for the repeal of the Corn-laws. John Joseph Finnigan seconded the reso lution. James Leech, a Chartist, moved as an amend ment, " That, until the workingmen were in possession of the franchise, they would never have justice done them from any Government that might be elected." He reiterated his often-made speech about the introduction of machinery, which, he said, was the cause of all the miseries of the working classes. Thomas Rankin se conded the amendment ' • but the meeting w ou ld no t grant him a hearing. Mr. Acland then came forward to support the original resolution, and was enthusiasti cally applauded. Having occupied about 15 minutes in replying to the statemants of Leech, he (Mr. Acland) was interrupted by one of the Chartists in the centre of the room. A cry of " Put him out" was then raised, and presently a forest of shillelahs were seen flourishing in the air. The forms were upset, and the sides of several of them torn off, and converted into short staves. In attempting to gain the door, several parties were over turned, and lay struggling in heaps on the floor, in dif ferent parts of the room; but, notwithstanding the " dreadful note of preparation" for the melee, no person, as far as we could learn, received any serious damage. In a short time the Irish became almost the exclusive occupiers of the room, and gave expression to their triumph in a way peculiar to themselves. The Chair man exerted himself to the utmost to enforce order, and, finding it impossible, dissolved the meeting at a quarter to eleven o'clock. The reporters then withdrew with as much expedition as possible, and, as we understand, the rest of the meeting separated shortly afterwards. A large body of the police force were stationed outside the hall, but they were not required to act.—Manchester Guardian. CORN-LAWS AND THE SHIPPING INTEREST. At a meeting of the South Shields Shipowners' So ciety, Mr. %Yawn, the new Member for the borough, proved himself the straightforward, honest, and fear less representative that he declared the people would find him. The annual Report of the London Ship owners' Society, which was read, evidently shows that that body desire to retain the Corn-laws as they are ; and Mr Wawn, at the very opening of his speech says that "he felt it to be his duty to express his dis approbation of that part of the report which condemned any change in the present Corn-laws." Mr. W. demon strated that it was mainly owing to the sliding-scale that corn came to this country in foreign vessels, " that not one-tenth of the quantity imported was brought in British ships." Mr. Wawn showed that the foreigner raised his prices to a great extent as soon as he found what a large demand there was from this country, and that from the necessity there was for the greatest possible haste, before the low duty should be raised, foreign shipping was employed. Mr. Wawn properly observed that the London report was political and one-sided. At a general meeting of ship owners of the same place Mr. W. Fallows of Middlebo rough, clearly proved that the effect of the Corn laws was to employ the foreign shipownei• to the detriment of the British, and that "if there had been a fixed duty on corn, every person hav ing a first class vessel would as easily get freights for corn as for flax or any other article." We are glad to find that this view of the Corn-laws has come so forcibly upon the minds of some of the shipowners; and we trust no very long time will elapse before they will have been generally convinced of the correctness of the view taken by Mr. Wawn and Mr. Fallows. Indeed, we have only to examine the pecuniary interest of almost every de partment of trade and commerce to be convinced that there never was, or never could exist, either in this or any other civilized country, a greater evil than the present Corn laws. Besides the Corn-laws, Mr. Fallows recommended the shipowners to endeavour to obtain an altars.: tion in the other provision laws ; he suggested many other important topics for the attention of the shipowners, but as they do not relate to the subject we are now discussing, we shall not enter upon them at this moment. It must, however, bo highly gratifying to every Liberal mind to perceive how rapidly the home truths of Mr. Wawn and Mr. Fallows.aro gaining ground amongst the shipowners. There was a time when such statements and doctrines would not have been listened to at a shipowners' meeting, when a man who had hinted at such opinions might have almost rejoiced if ho was not considered worse than a Hottentot, or even an atheist.— Tyue Mercury. MR. O'CONNELL IN A NEW CHARACTER.-- (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) — The result of the Dublin Municipal elections holds out prospects of remarkable changes in the management of civic affairs in that capital. The prime agitator will next week be Lord Mayor, he will be surrounded in the Court of Aldermen by func tionaries nearly all of his political opinions, and at the civic banquets the " glorious memory," the " Kentish fire," and all tie venerable toasts that were wont to make the Mansionnhouse ring with unextinguishable cheers, will be thrown aside like old alm anacs. It is certainly a mournful change for the wild Orangemen. There will be no more Orange addresses to Ring Ernest, though the New Lord Mayor will doubtless take tho first opportu nity of announcing to his Majesty the improved state of affairs in Dublin City, and probably invite him to a grand entertainment. The very change will reform the Lord Mayor himself. With the gold chain, not curtailed of even one link, and all the splendid insigni a o f office around him, he will hold repeal meetings with that dignity, good order, and mild language b e fi tt i ng a Chief Magistrate. STRIKE OF MASONS AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. An adjourned meeting of the Masons lately employed at the New Houses of Parliament, was held last evening at the Craven Head, in Drury-lane, for the purpose of receiving the opinions from the different Unions in Lon don, with respect to the Masons holding a public meeting on their late strike ; and also to consider the conduct of a portion 'of the public Press relative to the strike. JOHN WORTHINGTON, being proposed, took the Chair, and called on the Secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting. The SECRETARY then read the minutes, which were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then briefly alluded to some remarks which recently appeared in The Sun, with respect to the masons' strike, suggesting the propriety of Messrs. Grissell and Peto meeting the masons. He begged to say that the Committee fully concurred in the justice of those remarks, and had inserted an advertisement calling on Messrs. Grissell and Peto to meet them, and he begged to ask if any person was at that meeting on the behalf of Messrs. Grissell and Poto. No one answered. The CHAIRMAN said that the people of Woolwich fully entered into the spirit of the masons' strike, and a town meeting had been called for the purpose of aiding and supporting the masons whilst on the strike, which was to take place to-morrow (this day) at eight o'clock in the evening, in the theatre, Beresford-street.— (Cheers.) He then called on the different delegates to deliver in the answers from the various societies, which were as follow Mr. GREEN, from a society of carpenters, said they had voted the masons 501.—(Cheers.) Mr. GIBBS, from the Pimlico carpenters, tendered 101. A meeting would be held on Monday, for the pnrpose of levying a small sum per week on each member ; fur the purpose of supporting the masons.—(Cheers.) Mr. BARKER, from the plasterers, said a meeting had not been held yet of his society. Mr DovLE, from another carpenter's society, said that they had determined to support the masons for twelve months if necessary by a weekly contribution.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOPLIN, from the carpenters of Grosvenor square, presented 501.—(Great cheering.) Mr. BUTLER, from the carpenters of Dorset-street, said that a meeting would be• held next Monday to take the subject of the strike into consideration. Mr. THOMAS, from a masons' society of London, with 751., said they were determined to aid the masons on strike all in their power.—(Cheers.) Mr. ROLLINS, from a tailors' society, said they had determined, as long as the masons were on strike, to aid them, for twenty years if necessary.—(Cheers.) Mr. BLACKLEACII, torn another society of tailors, presented 30/_—(Cheer4) Mr. COCHRANE, froin a painters' . society, presented 101., and stated that a weekly subscription would be gone into.—(Cheers.) Mr. CLARKE, from the Hope Friendly Society, Great Marlborough-street, presented 201. Mr. WELLER, from the Surrey lodge of plasterers, stated that they had agreed to subscribe a weekly amount each member of one shilling.—(Cheers.) Mr. ALSTON, from the painters of Portland-street society, stated they had come to the same determination. Mr. WILSON, from the plasterers in Thames-street, said they would subscribe a shilling a week each. A great number of delegates stated that the meeting of the several bodies to which they belonged had not held meetings, but it was their purpose so to do. Mr. LOVATT said ho had read the reports of their last meeting in the British Queen and The Sun, and he thought they were most perfect, and he begged to pro pose a vote of thanks to those papers.—(Cheers.) Mr. JENKINS seconded the resolution. He had read the report in The Sun, which he thought was the best re port which had appeared, and he thought that paper should receive their separate thanks. The Reporter to the British Queen—l yield the palm to The Sun. The CHAIRMAN asked if it was the wish of the meet ing to go into the subject of the press, or the subject of a public meeting ?—A very rambling discussion arose, and it was at length submitted to a show of hands, and it was carried in favour of the subject on public meeting. The CHAIRMAN asked if any person would propose a resolution. Mr. TURNER proposed that a public meeting be held at the Crown and Anchor 'Tavern. Mr. GRAHAM seconded the motion. A WORKING MAN inquired what the expense of the room would be. The CHAIRMAN said it would be 14/. 14s. A MASON suggested that the Lowther Rooms should be taken, which could be had for a guinea. A very desultory discussion then arose, in the midst of which Captain ACKERLET rose, and said he begged leave to present the masons with 101. It was absolutely necessary that there should be money. He made that donation on behalf of the stonemasons employed about Stoke, in Gloucestershire, who were kept under the harrow by the clergy in the neighbourhood. He had received a letter from one of them, and he said they dared not sympathise with their fellow workmen in London. He came there to present them with 101., on condition that they had a meeting on Wednesday next at the Crown and Anchor. If they delayed it, Government would prevent it, for they were opposed to the masons. He wanted an early public meeting, and for that purpose he had come there, so help him God !—(Cheers.) And his services were not to be sneered at, he could tell them. The motion that a public meeting be held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on Wednesday next was then put and carried. Captain ACKERLEY then wrote a check on Messrs. Hoare's, the bankers, for 10/. upon a slip of paper. A Committee was then nominated to carry the above resolution into effect. Captain ACKERLEY was proposed. He was asked if he was a delegate ? Capt. ACKERLEY—I employ ten men a week upon my tin apparatus alone. The motion was negatived, much to the apparent chagrin of the Gallant Captain. ARMSTRONG WALTON then rose to bring forward the subject of the Press. He said when the Press was against the working man, it was one of the most deadly engines that could be used against them.—(Hear, hear.) The first of those papers to which he wished to call their attention to, was the Times, and its infa mous conduct, and repeated attacks upon them. Also their continual refusal to insert any letter from the masons, in answer to the charges made against them. The first of these attacks occurred about a fortnight from the commencement of the strike. The statement contained in the Times was of the grossest kind, and calculated to poison the public mind. It said that the masons in tended to use physical force against the men who should work at the Houses of Parliament, and thus they sought to prejudice the public mind. The next article was in the shape of a letter from Messrs. Grissell and Peto, dated the 4th of October. They (the masons) did not complain of that letter being inserted, but what they complained of was the refusal of the Times to give the answer to it. The next article to which he would draw their attention was another letter, signed C. 8., and dated the 18th of October, in which the writer urged the masters to conspire to crush the working men, and stated that the Unions of the working-classes were eating up the vitals of the land, and that they were composed of con spiring rogues. He (Mr. W) said that there were con spiring rogues, but those conspiring rogues were the aristocracy, who were devouring the vitals of the nation piece-meal.—(Cheers.) The next paper he should al lude to was the Advertiser, which also refused insertion to everything explanatory of the strike. He (Mr. Walton) had gone to the Editor of the Advertiser and told him that they were shut out from the columns of the press, and asked him to give insertion to a letter in answer to Messrs. Grissell and Peto's. He said he would consider of it, and took the letter. What was their surprise the next morning, when not one single word appeared in the paper respecting it! When into the called on him again, he said he would not enter the case at all, either on one side or the other. But lie did not keep his word, for he tried to injure their there was cha racter.Of the Dispatch he would say nothing ; n w o as d a oub g t en e t x le p mlaai n.—nf romea.) that r pa H p e er (A p i r r e . se iv nt a , l; h n o ) would would then state what steps should be taken against these papers. In the first place he recommended, them to dis continue their support of any of those papers which had so misrepresented them—(Cheers)—and who were so determined in their opposition to the working classes, In the next place, in order to carry this into effect, he would further recommend that all those houses which they supported, and who took in those papers, should either discontinue to take those papers or lose their custom.—(Loud cheers.) He was not dic tating to them, he was merely offering his opinion and advice. They knew as well as he did that in the case of the Advertiser they were not only sup porting the paper, but they were supporting the licensed victuallers ; and if those licensed victuallers still con tinued that paper, they should no longer support them.— enheers.) Ho had long looked (oiit at teal or n, t gh h e e lai rs p l r ao e nf s d s cc a oh s me a eprl g as . r i)n e a t s t a ed n' i — nt Mr. SHORT s to Hb th ß e T w th o e rk n i e n n g te m r against the Weekly Dispatch, and he hoped that they would do all in their power to put that paper down, for g it was now the decid e d enemy to the working man.— (Cries of " Down w i t h the Dispatch. " ) He begged . to propose T ha the ti t i f s o l t l h o e w o i p n ign resolution this Meeting that the reports which have appeared in the Morning Advertiser have been false and malicious ; and the conduct of the Editor in refusing to publish a statement from the men contra dictory, was disgraceful and unmanly, it being a paper that is solely supported by the working classes ; and this meeting requests their fellow -workmen to use their utmost endeavours to prevent that paperbeing taken in at any of their meeting-houses." Mr. TURNER then proposed that. the Dispatch had forfeited all claims to support from the people of Great Britain, therefore, the delegates at this meeting do pledge themselves to urge upon their respective bodies the ne cessity of discontinuing their support to that paper. This being seconded, was carried unanimously, amidst the most enthusiastic applause. A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Proprietors of the British Queen, which, after a stormy discussion, was negatived. The meeting then adjourned at twelve o'clock • --- Bons PROOF.-In relieving . pickets in the trenches many of our men, instead aping quiety through the trenches or parallels in front of the walls of the town, used to show their contempt of danger by jumping out of them and running across in the face of the enemy's fire.

EVENING MONEY MARKET and gy, (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS IV ' • 47-1 0 • TlMES.—Though the events - • tee would seem to have brought the aftstappflier lent issue of Exchequer Bids to something Ilea' --rs nouentent, the interest excited by it has hardly at all subsided. In fact, until some official announcement is made from the Treasury on the subject, thcie is scarcely a holder of Exchequer Bills who feel sen tirely at his ease respecting this part of his property. Besides this, the credit of the Government itself is mixed up in the question to a degree which becomes more alarming the longer delay takes place, and there can be no doubt that sortie very decisive n ea sure must soon be adopted at the Treasury to avert the consequences of this uneasy feeling. It may be stated, perhaps, as the more general wish, that en order should he made, not only for immediately call ing in the whole of those in circulation, but for re• placing them by others of a totally different mark and colour, so as to prevent any possibility of being con. founded with them. With the arrangements that aro at the commend of the Treasury this ought to be neje ther a long nor a difficult affair, and even the fixing of a period when all uncertainty would be removed, would tend to some extent to relieve the public mind. But, besides this, there is another feeling on the past of th e monied interest, whi c h i s calculated to make a very strong impression at the Treasury, and which is, that frauds like these, to so large an amount, and continued for so long a period of time, could not have happened without a system of management at the Treasury utterly defective, and vicious. Hence the Treas sury will be expected not only to remedy the present evil, but also to establish such reforms as will make the recurrence of it impossible. It is well known that in the. offices where the responsible part of the Exchequer Bill business is conducted the attendance of the persons employed is very short and very uncertain, and that the facilities, therefore, for fraud, to any parties who are disposed to practise it are very great ; and we fear it may be added that many of those servants of the public are passing much of that time when they ought to be on duty either on the Stock Exchange, engaged in hazardous speculations, or at the offices of joint-stock companies, where many of them act as Directors. With respect to the party charged with the lead in this fraud, the name is not vet publicly announced, though it is as freely mentioned every where as if that had been the case. Much blame is attached to the Treasury, for having allowed the whole of this day to pass without making any official communication either at the Bank or at the Stock Ex change. But, though they have done nothing, a num ber of minor incidents have come to light which may be mentioned, as showing that the affair has very ex tensive ramifications ; and it is thought very possible that the party apprehended is but an instrument in the hands of a ccnfeleracy, who have associated for the purpose of conducting this enormous fraud. It has transpired that the offices of various persons have to day been searched, under a warrant from the Secretary of State, and it is also known that several individuals connected with the Stock Exchange have had notice to at tend at the Treasury for an examination, supposed to be going on at the moment when this paragraph was penned. Several very important question., too, have arisen in connexion with this affair, the most material of which is, what has been going on at the Bank relative to the operation of funding Exchequer Bills, under the late notice from the Treasury. We believe it may be stated that, until this day, no precautions have been instituted there to test the genuiness of the Exchequer Bills brought in to be funded, and yet such is the nature of the proceeding that any party delivering Exchequer Bills could obtain stock in exchange for them, and dis pose of that stock in the market, all within the period of a couple of hours. Thus, if the parties had resorted to this mode of obtaining a value for their Exchequer Bills, they would have realized immense sums, and placed themselves almost beyond the reach of detection. Another most important question is how the Trea sury will deal with those parties who may be raid to be innocent holders of these forged securities, and whether they will be repaid. This point must, we imagine, re main very much in doubt until the investigations rela tive to the fiaud are complete; for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is said, conceives a broad distinction to exist between a fraud originating solely with one of his own officers, and one concocted out of doors, of which that officer is made the tool. Something, It is clear, must be done to bring the whole circulation of Exchequer-hills under observation, without which it could not be kn own , even a t th e Treasury, what ex tent of responsibility they would have to incur by adopting the fraudulent as well as the genuine issue. These disclosures have brought to mind many cir cumstances in the money market for months and even for years past, which were thought at the time myste rious and unaccountable, but which, in the hurry of business, passed away without further observation. As to the speculations in Spanish Stock, for example, it is recollected that the parties ostensibly engaged in them were persons of inferior note and standing, who yet car ried on their time-bargains to such an extent that their differences on the settlement of the foreign account, which only lasts for a fortnight, were often from 20,0001. to 30,000/. ; and yet it was found that they always contrived, in some way or other, to make good their engagements. Hence they acquired, of course; the confidence of the jobbers in the Stock-Exchange, and were believed to act, not for themselves, but for principals of real wealth, who, for some cause or other, chose, as is not uncommonly the case, to keep aloof from observation. It was contrived, also, to let it be believed that the funds raised by these different ope rations had some political object, and even as far back as the mad expedition of Louis Napoleon, they were connected with that expedition, as they have been latterly with the insurrection in Spain. Most of the speculations in Spanish Stock, it should be observed, are usually unsuccessful, political circumstances and the state of the money market turning constantly against them ; and, hence, some people suppose, that the mode of raising money by false Exchequer ails was an after thought, devised to rescue them from a situation otherwise irretrievable ; and it is by no means thought improbable that a participation in these losses by the official person implicated at the Treasury facilitated their employment of him as their instrument for getting out of their mutual difficulties. It may truly be said, we believe, that since the first issue of the document called an " Exchequer Bill," there never has existed so much excitement respecting that security as at the present moment. It is proper to mention, in order to save many innocent persons from suspicion, that the person now in custody is Mr. E. Bowman Smith, of the Exchequer-office. The business in Exchequer Bills continues for the while suspended. One or two small transactions under O g u s. a r a They ntee a are v e q b u e o e t n e dalmosteffected at n o t m h lower nal premium iyat r, s . o tolls. premium. This interruption to the regular mode of dealing increases the business in the permanent Stocks, which are quoted nearly a per cent, better than yes terday. As the explosion of the Exchequer Bill fraud will implicate parties who have for a long time past been the supporters of the Spanish market, the news from Spain, although of a favourable character, makes but trifling impression. It is not likely that business in any of the markets will take its wonted course till the public mind is relieved by a full disclosure. HERALD.—The arrest of Mr. E. B. Smith, de scribed in the Court Calendar as "first issuing clerk" in the Exchequer Bill-office, is now matter of public notoriety. The fact and the name were known and talked commonly about yesterday, although it was not deemed becoming to particularise the individual. One other party in the City is understood also to be under close surveillance if not in custody ; and two or three parties connected with the Stock-house have received absolute summonses to be forthcoming at the Trea sury when called for, or at a certain appointcd time. The names of these parties it is not necessary to mention, as in fact their appearance is only stood to be desired for the purpose of better tracing the extent of the frauds from the fact of considerable abstracted amounts of the Exchequer Bills clandestinely_ hrough their and put into circulation having passed t made in the hands. The statement first and exclusivel y that the recent under- Herald under this head, to the effect l with the late l arge were intimately connected , Stocks, turns out to be specula tion and speculators in Spanish Stocks, turns out to be fully confirmed, although at first li t t im h e av fa e rw be a e rdn discredited by the extraordinary issues of these bills to so large an amount, fully confirmed, although at But for these large and Times and another paper. carried on probably fora it had been when managed without detection, as so long sudden issues the fraudulent At present it would with more reserve and cu . nn to i g s . uch particulars as be unseasonable to enterin csoynsstiedmeran2blieg ustice might be defeated the Treasury, as the ends o by a premature disclosure.

The house, No. 126, in the Strand, next but one to the Globe newspaper office, is in a most dangerous con dition, and requires the immediate attention of the autho rities who have the management of the property of the Duchy of Lancaster in that quarter. Though shored up on both sides, the walls are in such a dilapidated state that a high wind, after the continued rains, would pro bably bring the crazy fabric to the ground. Such a danger ous nuisance, in a great thoroughfare, ought to be indicted by the inhabitants in the neighbourhood, or, more pro perly, by the parish authorities, who are expected to take precautions for the prevention of accidents. But a few months ago two houses in Fleet-street, in a similar condition, fell into the street, and, had any of the pas sengers been killed, no doubt a jury would havo returned a verdict of manslaughter against the district surveyor, or the proprietors. Prevention, however, is better than punishment, and public attention, therefore, cannot be too soon directed to the wilful negligence of some party or another, which may probably lead to fatal con sequences. EW SOUTH WALES.---THE A BORIGINES.-- At the end of half a century from its first occupation of this territory, the British Government has determined upon the adoption of some decided measures for the civi lization of the aborigines. A series of papers hare been received from the Colonial-office, containing the heads of a plan for the accomplishment of this desirable work, and Lord John Russell's instructions for putting it in force, with such modifications as the Governors of the different Australian colonies may deers necessary. The plan owes its origin to Captain Grey, the new Governor of South Australia; and, if a consideration of its diffe rent bearings justifies the hesitating tone with which Lord John Russell adopts it, still it appears more feasible than any of the miserable attempts of protectors and mis sionaries that have been tried hitherto; and it shall give us a high degree of pleasure to see it energetically set in motion, to encourage those engaged in it, and to record every instance of its success that may come to our know ledge. On looking at the details of the plan now about to be carried into effect, one is struck with its simplicity, and with astonishment at the length of time that has elapsed before even this simple encouragement has been afinrded to those who might be willing to give their as sistance in the great work.—Australasian Chronicle.
