MORNING SUN swords must have been pretty active, and used with gallantry This will help to do away with the slur which the conduct of the Second cast on the Bengal cavalry in general, and there has been a good deal of local discussion, to prove that it was good for little, and never had done much. I hope, -however', there is no foundation for such a remark, and that the present proof which has been given of ability to face a hardy enemy in a hand to hand fight will be fol lowed tip I,v other good deed-.

If, therefore, the Candahar men, the Ghilzies, and Akhtar Khan should have united, as might hare been effected, it is not im probable that such an event has happened, as is reported, and, if true, so severe a defeat ought to have a good ex ample. One can only lament, without power of remedy now, the unfortunate cause of the Ghilzie outbreak; and Lieutenant Lynch's. feelings upon the subject can be any thing but bearable. He has been withdrawn frost poli tiearemploy, and. his conduct and its consequence will be a lesson, it is hoped, not only to the Government to direct their choice of. agents, but in the agents also to keep their tempers 'thin bounds. . Sir W. .Macnaghten is removed to Bombay, I see, and all point to Barnes as his most proper successor. Cer tainly, from reputation and local knowledge, he is almost the only . man that could be fixed on. May we hope that the universal hush-money system of his pre decessor may be abandoned ; and if we are, or rather Shah Soojah, to have rebellious subjects, that British money may not be squandered on them any longer, but that they may be well trounced if they rebel ? It has been stated on good authority in the northern papers, that Shere sing has given up Peshawa to Shah Soojah , who has made it over to us. Any equivalent for this cession is not apparent, but it may be the recognition of Shere Singh as ruler of the Sikhs, which hes not yet been made .—a circumstance which ,;‘,1;14 lost 4; ritc, it % 1,,,et. • tbdit Lord .11,1 11 , 4. 6, "ati.`itil.ll hot will io-cist oh.

It this rats be brought shout petterahly. it will be a very able pulitieal stroke, earn his Lnalship In limn, than the A ttklian 'war as it stands at present. With Peshawa and a Sikh subsidiary force, we should have nothing to fear in the present extension of our frontier, as a communication would be insured with our frontier polts. We have news from the-north of Peshawa and Cashmere of an extraor dinary character, which may end in more than at pre sent appears to us. A body of Sikhs, horse and foot, have penetrated into Thibet through one of the passes, and by all accounts are driving all before them in the shape of 'l'hibetian - soldiery they meet with, their num bers being swelled from the rear as the news of their success is known. - They were travelling eastward, in the direction of the Mansawoara Lake, and had cer tainly defeated the Thibet soldiery in several engage ments with no loss or next to none.' • At home all is quiet, except in, the south-western part of the Nixam's territories, where, and in the districts of the Company bordering on them, there are threatenings of disturbances from Arabs, 2,000 of whom were at one time said to be collected for the purpose of releasing their countrymen captured at Badamee, and of plunder also. I attracted some notice to the Arabs at Hyderabad • last month, and pray of you to remark upon their exist ence there. I know not why they should be tolerated for a moment. What possible need the Nizam's Go vernment or his nobles can have for them I know not. They are a dangerous,_ oppressive body, linked together by their isolation and ties as countrymen ; and they "should not be allowed to remain by the British Govern ment, against which at any time they are ready and will ing to be hostile. If the Nizain's Government needed them for the purposes of repelling invasion, or for repressing in ternal insurrection, it would have a pretence for retaining them ; but it. has not even these. From without there is no fear ; within, the regular troops and the subsidiary force are ample for all emergencies—nay, the first of self. The truth is, the Arabs are useful in collecting the revenue by force ; they are savage and unscrupulous, and as it is currently said one Arab is more feared than a C.ozen men of the country, if this dread was used in moderation it would be well enough, but who can sup pose it is ? and certainly no one who has had experience will say that it is, The Bombay Government are a good deal to blame in' allowing the Arabs to land and pass inwards. On several occasions, if I mistake not, the re sident at Hyderabad, as nearly as 1828-29 (when there were hardly 5,000 Arabs in the service of the State and its dependents), and since then, requested the Bombay Government not to grant passports to the bodies of .Arabs. The request of the British Government seems to have been utterly disregarded, for there is no doubt that there are from 12,000 to 15,000 Arabs in the Nizam's dominions. Non-interference is all very well in internal Government, but there should be no hesitation to interfere in a case like this, fur you may depend on it, sooner or later, the Arabs will come to blows with the British troops, and many a brave fel low's life will be lost. Better far to discharge them in bodies, march them without their arms to Bombay, give them their arms when they are embarked, and prohibit their return. lam not certain that this could be done without some bloodshed, but better little than much ; and this measure has been so long neglected by the Go - vernment here, though they are aware of its ' import ance, that it is absolutely necessary the Government at home should interfere. The dismissal of the Arabs would make the Nizam's Government much more just towards its people ; it could obtain plenty of good sol diers fur all just purposes in its own territories, and if needful the regular troops might be augmented. Any thing is better than the present system, which cannot be excused or defended. There are two excellent papers in a Calcutta journal upon the outlay of Government in roads, bridges, and canals. It was the unceasing cry of Mr. Thompson in his lectures, that the Government had done nothing in these respects ; that the roads and canals of the former Governments were neglected and in ruins, and that not a rupee was allowed for their repair or reconstruction. The publication of the report of the board of woks gives the truth ; and though it is shabby enough, yet it is something. In 20 years of the expenditure of this department in Bengal alone, we find one million and a half sterling (150 lacs), which is 71 lacs a-year, or one per cent. of the land revenue. Many of the outlays re turn so large a profit to Government that it is surprising that more is not undertaken. I allude to the sub• ject of canals, in which for the last year' 237,813 rupees have been expended. The returns from these works are 469,197 rupees, thus giving a clear profit of 211,384 rupees, or in round numbers 21,0001., within the year. The grand opposer of all improvements in roads, canals, and other great public works, is, it ap pears, the Home Government. many works of absolute importance having been negatived by them, and others extorted with difficulty. Such splendid profits as the canals for irrigation afford ought, however, to make them less chary of outlay, even if the higher considera tion of the well-being of the country has no effect, and it lies with you to administer such reproof to the autho rities with you as the case so urgently demands. 80,0001. per annum is a miserable allowance from the Government; one per cent. of the land revenues, ex pended in roads, bridges, canals, embankments, and edu cation, should make them ashamed of that philanthropy for which they demand the admiration of the world. Of the Bombay and Madras Presidencies in this re• spect no information is aftbrded ; indeed, they are far behind Calcutta in the openness of their isdministration ; for when in Bengal there are reports printed of the ope rations of the Board of Works, the police, education, and other departments, no information can be obtained on any point in either of the others. This should be amended : so long as things are hidden it is certain there is much —very much —to be ashamed of. A healthy and honest Government never need or would be ashamed to make its acts and its condition known. I have said that it will be advisable to move troops from New South Wales to China, an d I say so because no more troops can be spared from here.

Captain Bogle, our Commissioner at Arraca n, has just arrived, and has been in close com munication with the Government, and I have reason to know that it is upon matters relative to the Durmah movements in his vicinity, although I cannot learn their nature. In the course of a day or two the Commander-in- Chief and his staff leave for -Ferozepore, where a force of about 7,000 men is assembled, and whither all nts of which it officers, absent on leave from the regiments is composed, are ordered to join by the 15th of Novem ber. This gathering on the frontier c f the Punjaub looks hostile, especially when the present unsettled tat: of that country is considered; but there can be 8 nothing but surmises afloat upon the subject at present. Of commercial news I have but little to communicate. The indigo season is concluded, and the out-turn is va riously estimated at from 125,000 to 140,000 maunds, but both of these are planters' calculations, whose interest it is to keep below the mark. It will certainly amount to the largest quantity above named, and will probably approach to 145,000 maunds; 120,000 from Bengal and Behar, and 25,000 from Benares and the Dooab. Sugar is rattier looking up, in consequence of the near approach of the shipping season, and the same observation applies to raw silk.

We regret to learn the Government have decided on breaking up the European veteran battalion. This, if it prove correct, will fall heavily on the poor fellows pensioned on the small pittance termed " Established Pensien Pay." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—It affords us much plea sure to record the late splendid passage of the good ship Owen Glendower, which, leaving London on the 18th of June, anchored in our roads . on Sunday last (sth instant,) having thus accomplished the passage in the almost in credibly short space of 79 days. THE GovEnsoa.—We regret to hear that Lord El phinstone has been seriously indisposed of late., Previous to his visit to the Seven Pagodas, his Lordship was un well, and since his return his indisposition has unfortu nately increased.

The long-looked-for intelligence of the battle with the forces of Ukhtar Khan has reached us at last. From the dates of our various letters it would appear that betwixt the 21st—the date fromQuettah when the first rumour arrived here on Tuesday se'nnight—and the 29th ult., to which our present letters from Quettah ex tend,_some interruption in the daks betwixt Quettah and . Darfur must hve occurred. The present encounter appears to have been the most sharp and bloody of any in which we have been engaged since our troops en tered Affghanistan. Our own loss has been, under the circumstances, extremely trifling, and the number of killed and wounded on either side fall, as usual, much below what was originally believed-706 is still a severe list of casualties against the enemy, equal to more than one-third that which occurred during Lord Keane's cam paign, and nearly double the amount of the slain at any of the thirty actions or thereby in which we have been engaged since February, 1840. The accuracy of the fol- lowing particulars' maibe relied on : On the evening of the 10th of August intelligence was received that the combined forces under Ukhtar Khan, Akram Khan of Duramut, with the chiefs of Bugnee and Bagram, in number about 5,000 men, had marched down the valley to the village of Secunderbad, about twelve miles from camp. At dawn on the 17th, a force consist- mg of four six pounders, wing of the 2d regiment Ben- gal native infantry, 400 ; Ist and sth reginients of the 'Shah's native infantry, about 900 ; wings of the Shah's Ist cavalry, 250 ; and the Ist and 2d regiments of Jam ton, and_ to-the absence of the Shroffs, -Who were in the habit of making large advances on - goods, but who had withdrawn - their capital in consequence of their want of confidence in the existing temporary settlement of affairs. Another cause is, that the Hong merchants have been compelling the teamen to take payment in cotton, and other goods; and the latter, anxious to realise, had been doing so, in many cases, at a fearful sacrifice, • The exports of tea since the Ist October last amounted to about twenty-seven millions of pounds, end four or tire ships were finishing their hiding, which would carry the ~ason's supply by the end of September to• about (hill, millions of pounds, which would clear the inurlset, t c ept moderate supply of hitidos retuitling bOilril t,, America, to which quarter the exports this year hail been unusually stuall. Not more than two-thirds of the money sent last year to the tea country had been for-, warded during the present season. . . A letter dated Macao, 24th August, says :—" Major Malcolm want up to Canton in the Nemesis steamer on j 13th August, with a letter to the Commissioner, enclosing one for Pekin, telling them the reply would be• required soon at the Peiho. The Kwang-chow-foo came to the hall and took the letter. A strong endeavour was made to mix up old Trowqua in the discussion; but this was steadily re fused by Major Malcolm. The Cohong have made a de mand for a release from all responsibility from fire, plunder. &c., before they will allow ships to be secured. This innovation has been resisted by all but one party, who signed a paper to the effect wanted. One reason as, igned by the Cohong is, that new folk's words cannot be relied on ; and written not viva roce engagements are required. All quiet yet, but this is not expected to be long the case at Canton." baz, 650 ; - marched against them, under — the command of Captain Griffin, of the Bengal establishment, aid on ap proaching the enemy were formed up in the line of contiguous columns at open order, with the guns in the centre, and the cavalry on each flank, about 150 paces in the rear. The enemy were found to occupy a low ridge, running along our front—their left resting on a fort and some inclosed gardens, from which they commenced a desul tory fire. A few discharges of shrapnell, well directed, soon cleared the heights, and the enemy were obliged to retire to their second position, which was a very strong one, amid gardens and vineyards, inclosed with high walls, and loop-holed. From these they opened a heavy fire, killing and wounding a number of our men. Two companies of the second regiment Bengal N. 1., sup ported by two companies of the Ist regiment Shah's N. 1., under Lieutenant Gardner, were therefore de- tached to dislodge them, and led on by Lieutenants Cooke and Travers (both of the Bengal establishment), gallantly performed this duty, and expelled the enemy with great loss. The Shah's cavalry then charged, and pursued the enemy to the extreme left of their position, turned it, and fell upon another body who had commenced their retreat, pursuing them for upwards of a mile. In the pursuit the Jambaz regiments, under the command of Captain Hart, of the Bombay,eand Captain Goulding, of the Bengal establishments, highly distinguished them selves, and redeemed their character and wiped off the stigma attaching to them for their misconduct in the pre vious engagement with Ukhtar Khan. The loss of the enemy in this action was exceedingly severe, one aecOunt stating that upwards of 760'dead were counted 0 the field of battle. The following list also shows our'own loss ‘s as severe, and that the contest was well maiyitained. Horse artillery, I trooper wounded; , 2d Regt. Ben g al Native Infantry, 7 killed, 30 wounded; Ist cavalry, S. S. force, 5- killed, 17 wounded ; Lieut. Crawford, Bombay establishment, slightly wounded; Ist Regt. N. 1., S. S. force, 11 wounded; Ist ditto Jambaz, 4 killed, 11 wounded; 2d ditto, I killed, 13 wounded. Total, 17 killed, 83 wounded. Ukhtar Khan, the leader of the insurgents, is reported to have fled at the very commencement of the fight. Prince Timour, son of Shah Soojah, was present,_ and is reported to have behaved most - gallantly, two of his favourite dependents being cut down by the enemy by his side.—Times, Sept. 22. MURDER OF DR. FORBES. Intelligence was yesterday received at Agra of the dis tressing murder of Dr. Forbes by Ibrahim Khan, the Beelochee chief of Seistan. Dr. Forbes, under the pro tection of Mohumud Reza Khan, the most influential chieftain in Seistan, had completed the circuit of the lake, and visited all sites of interest in the province, accompanied by one Persian servant. From the residence of Mohumud Reza Khan he was escorted to Jehanabad, the fort of Ibrahim Khan, Beloochee, and after remaining with that chief a few days, he left for Sash, with a party of Ibrahim Khan's horse, for a guard. The Khan joined him at a short distance from the fort; they breakfasted together in a friendly manner, and Dr. Forbes was immediately murdered. Our report says that being attacked by a large hound, brought out to hunt the hog, he shot it in self-defence, and the Khan, in a moment of irritation, immediately fired on him. The other and more 'pro bable story is, that the Khan, on pretence of examining his arms, got possession of his run, pistols, and sword, then immediately gave the signal to his horsemen, who seized the doctor, dragged him through the water of the lake until he was half drowned, and when he was brought out the Khan shot him with his own hand. His Persian attendant was barbarously murdered a day or two after.—Agra Ukbar, Sept. 16. MURDER OF Mn. O'GoaMAN.—The only news we have from the north-west is the following letter giving an account of the murder of Mr. O'Gorman, at Candahar, alluded to in our supplement of Saturday last. The letter is dated the 26th July:— " I lament to inform you that a most respectable and well conducted European met with his death yesterday morning, from the hands of a murderous Affgban. He was a Mr. O'Gorman, who had accompanied Major Todd on his mission to Herat, in capacity of writer, and who remained here on that officer's departure for Hindoostan. He was quietly taking his morning walk through the Chasons, when the villain watching his opportunity, quietly walked up to him and buried his murderous chaco in his bowels ; he immediately attempted to repeat the blow, when a recruit of the 38th, who was on the spot, brought him to the ground by a severe blow of a lathee across the temple; he endeavoured to rise, where upon the sepoy repeated the dose which enabled him to se cure the culprit and hand him over to the civil authorities.

The latest advices from Canton, which extend to the 21st August, rwpresent every article of import, both from England and India, as lower than was ever before known in China. This extreme depression was attributed to the scarcity of money arising from the abstraction of the six millions of - dollars to pay for the ransom Of Can- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1841 this fifth of November, that Mr. Sibthorp is a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and brother to Colonel Sibthorp, M.P. We have not now space to notice Lord Shrewsbury's last. Since his championship of the Peel Ministry, and the Corn-laws, Lord Shrewsbury has published a pamphlet, which shows that supersti tion divides his mind with Toryism. It is entitled— " A Letter from the Earl of Shrewsbury to Ambrose Lisle Phillips, Esq., desoriptive of the Estatica of Cal cium', and the Addolornta of Cap, iana." We leave our renders to make head or tail of this marvellous title, if they can : Wt will only add, that the bed-ridden legend of the pamphlet may well sustain the stare of astonishment at the title-page to which this; Tory lauded Earl 4e1.1 his name 1 STANDARD.—The Morning . Chronicle contends that the question of the Corn-law is a question of civil and religious liberty ; because— " There is no reason why a nation of bread-taxed slaves should not sink into a nation of beaten slaves. The command of a people's food is the most absolute despotism, and it must be overthrown, or its advances will be felt in all departments of social and political life. Parliament checks monarchy by the control of the purse ; but this is a * feebler power than the control of the means of subsistence." Surely this argument is strained. Doubtless there is no reason why slaves should not be slaves, and sub ject to all the painful and insulting incidents of slavery ; but it is a petdio principi to assume that the laws protecting agriculture enslave the people ; and if such were the fact, there is a manifest ab surdity, in apprehensions for the civil and religious liberty of a people already deprived of both. But the Morning Chronicle proceeds to say that the control of the means of subsistence constitutes the most absolute despotism ; and, perhaps such is the truth ; but in what sense can any class of Englishmen be said now to control the people's means of subsistence? One cannot easily suppose a case in which all the land owners and all the farmers of the United Kingdom should conspire to withhold all their grain from the markets, in order to coerce the people, as the first effect of such a. conspiracy must be the utter ruin of the landowners and farmers themselves, and as the admission, duty free, of any required quality of foreign grain, wholly defeating the purpose of the conspiracy, Inert be the second effect. But though we owe an apology for gravely treating of this absurdity of a conspiracy of corn-growers, the anticipation of a conspiracy of corn importers, if not for the purpose of tyranny, at least for the purpose of robbery, is by no means so extravagant. Should the country be thrown for subsistence upon the foreign supply, a dozen friends at Mark-lane could come to an understanding as to " the control of the people's food" much more easily than a million of agriculturists spread over England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. COURIER.—We lose no time in bringing to the notice of her Majesty's Government that a new in stance of rebellion against the authority of the Kirk as now put forth has arisen in Scotland within the Presbytery of Garioch—the next in locality to that of Strathbogie ; in other words, another instance has occurred of a body of her Majesty's liege subjects paying respect to her Majesty's laws in spite of the injunctions laid upon them to the contrary by the General Assembly of the Kirk. The next step which we expect to hear of is, that the " Seven Ministers" of Garioch have been " suspended" by the Commission ; and as they have fixed the settle ment of the vetoed presentee to Culsamond for the Ilth of this month, there is no time to lose if Mr. Candlish is to do anything to prevent the spiritual " high treason' contemplated. - We may, therefore, expectanother tur moil within the Kirk; the precursor, we venture to say, to many more edifying spectacles of the same kind, if her Majesty's Ministers do not bestir themsels el in right earnest to restore peace and order among these churchmen. Now that the affair of M'Leod is off their bands, and an. fears entertained of a brush with America, Sir Robert Peel may have time to turn to the Kirk, and we shall take upon us to tell hi .n what be ought to do. The House of Lords, having solemnly declared that the Veto-law of the Kirk is illegal, and the Kirk as it appears, still persisting in carrying it into effect and in deposing ministers who will not obey it, it is the duty of her Majesty's Ministers to eall in the aid of the Legislature to streegthen the bands of the judicial authorities in Scotland. The proceedings of the Church Courts, and the principles on which they are determined to act, as set forth in the-" Memorial" lately addressed to her Majesty's Government " by-the Commission of the General As sembly," leave to Sir- Robert Peel no alternative, but rendering any bill - he may introduce a " Bill of Con formity," providing that the benefices of the Church now enjoyed, or to be enjoyed, shall be held on the con ditions to which, in, order to remedy existing evils and to prevent their recurrence; it may be necessary to re sort. Government, in adopting this measure, will only be following the example of the purest and best days of the Kirk—the Aet of King William and. Mary, 1693, c. 9.3, entitled " An Act for settling the quiet and peace of the Chun* "—being an " Act of Conformity" of the me* expresikod peremptory description. Should Go. vernu.ent reactive on taking this step, we„ would have them to advise her Majesty, as constitutionally em powered, to oall-swestraordmary General Assembly, in order to lay beforattitike , bill- intended to be introduced, Churclishall render this necessary by her adhe rence to her present position, and her refusal to rescind the Veto, and all her acts subsequent upon it, as they have attempted to affect the ecclesiastical status of clergy men disregarding it.. This, we think, is due to the Church of Scotland, the most important, and hitherto the most honoured and useful institution of the country. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, Nov. 3, 1841.

A slight reduction has taken place in the prices of English Iron, and some descriptions of Copper arp likewise on the decline. Spelter has risen slightly, an improvement no doubt owing to the present scarcity of this article. COTTON MAN UFACT [TRES Sales have taken place to a; considerable extent, but at very low prices. The principal inquiry has been for bleached goods, but at unreniunerating prices. In plain and twilled Turkey: Red Cloths, also, there have been a good many sales. YARNS.—Prices remain pretty much as before, atid there is scarcely any change to notice. There has not been much bustneEs done since our last. WooLtuss.—There is little doing in Woollens, th'k Market for which contimtes dull. EASTERN PNODUL-h:. "I: he unsatisfactory . adviees frolu England b aie mail; which Arrived on the dth ult., ucintsioned A slight reduction in the price or this staple, 107-irs yes' candy being accepted for Broach, 107 rs for Oomrawut tee, and 103 rs for Dollerah, while other qualities fell proportionably. Up to this date the rates we mention have continued with little variation ; excepting, how ever, a further decline of from one to 2 rupees per candy in the price of Dollerah, the present state of affairs is not such as to render probable any speedy change for the better. THE MONEY MARKET. Prices of the different Government securities remain as they were at our last issue, excepting that of the Four per Cent. Loan, which has suffered a slight reduction. Should the investments in the new Five per Cent. Loan, which of late have been considerable, continue to any extent, it seems probable that an advance in the value of this security will shortly take place. PRICE OF BULLlON.—Sovereigns, each rs 10.8 a 10.10; Bank of England notes, per .f, 10.8 a 10.12. . During the week the Calliope arrived from China, bringing two and a half millions of treasure, a part of the ranson of the City of Canton. The vessel is off the Mint, and the treasure is in course of delivery. It is probable that the whole of this large sum will soon be in general circulation, and strengthen the energies of the improving Money Market. Of the remainder Of the ran som money 2,000,000 are retained in China for expenses, and one and a half millions are sent home. The Bill market does not show many operations, but we notice some at an improved rate—viz., 2s. O'd. for ten months' date without documents. We believe the rate is not better than 25., and even at this some parties will not sell. Government paper is looking up, and it is evident the large acquisition into the Treasury will influence the fu ture value, unless there be continued drains from the north-west, or new wants to the south-east. Bank Stock continues in demand at the enhanced value. Bank of Bengal Shares at 2,350 a 2,400 rupees ; Union Bank at 250 and 260 rupees ; and Agra Bank at 180 repees premium. Bombay Bank Shares, premium 25 per Cent. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (YRO34 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WEDNESDAY, Nov. 3.—About ten o'clock on the night of Tuesday, the 26th ult., as the Rose tender was lying in Chale Bay, on the look-out for smugglers, a suspicious sail was seen off St. Catherine's; they made for it, and thought they saw a number of tubs thrown into the sea, and a boat put off with two hands in it ; they captured her, and then boarded the strange vessel, which proved to be a Frenchman, with six. Frenchmen on board, five of whom they took out, but the sixth, the captain, would not leave the vessel. Captain M'Conochy put four hands on board of her, ordered them to proceed to Cowes, while he, in the tender, looked for the tubs. He suc ceeded in getting seventy-nine of them on board, and then proceeded with them and his seven prisoners to Cowes, where he expected to find his prize there ; but, from that time to this, has not been so fortunate. Strange stories are told about the French captain, who, in diffe rent ports, is called French Tom, French Harry, and French John—and of the number of men he has killed or thrown overboard ; and the general opinion is, that the first news of him and his - vessel will bo from a French port. The Tartar cutter's boat, which was washed on shore in Chale Bay, the crew of which were supposed to have been drowned, it appears, was washed off the beach near Swanage, where the men had placed her, while they took a glass together. WESTERN LITERARY INSTITU- TION, LEICESTER-SQUARE. READINGS OF MILTON. We were highly gratified on our visit to this institu tion on Thursday evening, by bearing Mr. Browne give his readings of Milton. This gentleman, who is new to the metropolis, possesses all the attural requisites for ' success in the career which . he has chosen. His perso nal appearance is commanding, his action graceful, and his voice sonorous, powerful, well modulated, and com pletely under command. Having offered a few prefa tory observations on elocution, which proved that he was perfectly aware of the difficulties which he would have to grapple in the task which he had under taken, he gave a short but excellent critical disquisition on the versification of Milton. This opening address was loudly applauded. Mr. Browne then proceeded to give his readings, which consisted of selections from the two first books of " Paradise Lost." Great judge ment was exhibited in making these selections, so as to preserve the thread of the narrative unbroken. The selections were excellently given. The parentheses with which Milton so abounds were all distinctly marked by the modulations of the voice, and the structure and meaning of the sentences, however involved, rendered clear and understandable. The address of Satan to the fallen angels was given with great power and effect, and was loudly applauded. The gem of the evening, how ever, was the address of death to Satan, in the Second Book, in which Mr. Browne exhibited powers of the highest order. His readings were throughout loudly applauded, and sincerely do we congratulate him on the success of his first appearance. We hope soon to have the pleasure of meeting him again. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS PROM TI EVIMING PAVERS OF TESIERDAT. GLOBE.--The Anti-Papist anniversary prompts the question-i-Who are the Papists now ? When it is remembered bow persevering an outcry was kept up against the late Government and its supporters, on ac count of their political leaning towards Popish con nexions, it is certainly strange to mark the much closer connexions and sympathies which exist in a high sphere of Toryism with all that is superstitious in Popery, and in every other system which has but the merit of formality and antiquity. A sort of Holy Al liance of all priesthoods against all innovation (that sort of alliance which would have made the Reforma tion impossible, and Dissent a crime) appears to be in the contemplation of Oxford Tories of this stamp. The public has lately stared or yawned at a long series of articles in the Times, evidently inspired by this re fined ecclesiastical policy, which were aimed at dis couraging all sanction by the beads of the Church in this country of the King of Prussia's religious munificence in subscribing for an English Bishop in Palestine! The refined and subtle style of the objec tions to this liberal offer strongly indicate the utter abandonment of plain-sailing Protestantism by a power ful portion of that party who decried the Whigs for !'betraying its cause ! Forsooth, the King of Prussia was a Lutheran Prince. The whole drift of the pipers was, that the King of Prussia is a sort of schismatic, who is thrusting himself between his betters, who should be quite above being obliged to him. The leanings of Puseyite-Toryism towards Roman Catholic orthodoxy are still raore curious indications of this new spirit of ecclesiastical policy. Such are the hopes inspired by these very evident tendencies (whieh so justly excite the ireful and fearful outcries of Exeter-hall), that the well-known Roman Catholic leader, Dr. Wiseman, writes as foilows to Lord Shrewsbury (we extract the passage from the Paris Catholic organ, L' Univers for the 2d November, and our version, as we translate from the French, will probably not be literally accurate) : " I cannot doubt that tbe return of this country, that is to say of the Established Church, to Catholic unity, would put an end to religious dissidence, and intestine discords. The population would be formed to purer morals by two powerful means—in the country, by the influence of the parochial clergy, in the towns and the manufacturing districts, by the monastic orders." The following extract from a private letter is com municated to us at this moment. Nusquam tula fides d,ptihrtourrpe h " Ryde, Nov. 4, 1841.

SUGAR.—There has been a considerable falling off in the demand for British Plantation Sugar this week, and the market has been in a dull state, both grocers and refiners operating with much caution in all de scriptions, and the rates previously established have been sustained for both yellow and brown kinds, and of fine sorts of the former, the supply is still small. Barba does went off quietly, but former rates were sustained ; fine yellow fetched 71s 6d to 725, good 69s to 70s, good middling 66s 6d to 68s 6d, middling and low middling 62s 6d to 66s per cwt. The total purchases for the three market days have been only 500 hhds. No arrival since this day week, and the surplus in the comparative stocks has diminished. The Gazette price is 35s lid, in 1840 57s 7i, in 1839 37s Id, and in 1838 31s 7d per cwt. The letters received by the West India Packet speak well of the Sugar crop. To-day the demand was extremely limited for "West India Sugar, but holders refused to submit to lower rates, in some cases, however, the prices accepted were rather under those of this day week. The total sales for the week are only 700 hhds and trcs, and the market closed with a dull aspect. REFINED.—The transactions in Refined goods have been upon a small scale only for home consumption this week ; Standard Lumps at 80s to 80s ad ; Titlers and Hamburgh Loaves, common 79s to 80s, good 82s to 86s, fine 87s to 98s, very fine 99s to 102 s, brown lumps 74s to 79s per cwt. For Treacle prices are firm, common 25s 6d to 26s ' • patent ordinary 26s 6d to 27s 6d, good 28s to 29s 6d ; best old make 30s, Golden Syrup 30s to 32s per cwt, fine at 71s to 755, good 67s to 70s, middling 64s to 655, common kinds at 60s to 63s per cwt. Bastards common at 40s to 435, mid 445 to 48s, but good and fine kinds at 493 to 56s per cwt. Dutched. crushed Sugar 28s 9d to 29s for first quality. Treacle 13s 9d to 14s. Bastards 12s to 14s, and Pieces at 15s to 18s. Loaves at 31s to 32s for 10 and 14 lbs. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 26s 9d on board in Holland. MAURITIUS.—HoIders have displayed firmness, and have refrained from offering any at public sale ; but by private treaty little desire has been evinced to operate in low yellow, middling, or brown qualities, and the demand for such has been limited. The offers however made at lower rates have been rejected. EAST Nom—Prices have been sustained for white qualities of Bengal, and a fair demand has prevailed by private contract ; fine white has fetched 72s to . 73s ' but brown kinds have be en t a k en spar i ng l y ; an d prices have given way Is per cwt ; at auction 1,693 bags were dis posed of fine white at 72s 6d to 735, good mid to good 68s to 71s, mid 65s to 675, low to mid yellow 55s to 60s, good bright brown 48s to 48s fid, and mid 44s to 46s per cwt. The stock is 71,655 bags greater than it was in 1840 at this period. For Manilla there are few buyers, either for export or refining under bond, although the merchants would willingly accept present low rates. None has been offered at public sale. In Java the operations have been extremely limited by private treaty, and the rates accepted are rather under those previously quoted. Siam has moved off slowly, and prices keep on the decline. FOREIGN.--There has been an increased disinclination evinced on the part of both shippers and refiners to ope rate in Brazil this week, and although holders are willing to realize, still the operations by private treaty have been extremely limited in both white and brown sorts, and the prices accepted are rather under those of this day week. MOLASSES.—The market for West India has become quiet, and the operations this week have been trivial, but holders are firm, and have refused to sell, excepting at full prices. For Demerara of good quality 25s have been paid, and 22s for common St. Lucia. Of Foreign Molasses some parcels have been disposed of at Os to 78 per cwt. 1 W heat. Per Quarter., s. to a.

Webb, butcher, of Homend-street, in this town, requests us to state, that he last week killed a small ewe sheep, which he considers (comparing the weight of fat with the (size of the sheep) the greatest curiosity of the kind which ever fell under his observation. The animal (which was five years old) weighed only 101bs. per quar ter ; she had in her inside 9ilbs. of rough fat and the weight of suet on each kidney was 3ilbs.

STRANGE DELUSION.—On Wednesday a long investigation was gone into before Mr. Baker, the Co roner, at the Royal Oak, Galway-street, St. Luke's, on the body of Elizabeth Morgan, aged 55, whose death was alleged to have been caused through improper treatment. Maria Walker, of 31, Cross-street, Islington, said she had known the deceased about 12 months, by living at No. 41, Ironmonger-row, St. Luke's, and for some time past she had suffered from a spasmodic affection. On Tuesday last she was sent for to attend the deceased, and found her very ill, and complaining of a violent pain. Hot fomentations, castor oil, and leeches bad been ap plied, but no medical gentleman was called in, it being against the religious tenets of the sect to which the de ceased belonged to do so. The deceased might have had one, but she declined, saying 40 could do her no good. The sect, to which she also belonged, styled themselves " the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints," their place of meeting being in Castle-street, Cow-cross. They dated their origin from the Apostles, and treated their sick according to the following, taken from the last chap ter of the Epistle of St. James—" If any be ill amongst you, ye shall eall for the elders of the Church, and anoint yourself with oil in the nam e of the Lord. " The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death," with a hope that would act as a caution to th e sect medical cases for the future. h th o e w present theya eitneqduiii:tY A LUCKY PURCHASE.—On Thursday morning a very poor woman went to the shop of Mr. Tighe, pawn broker, of Deptford Broadway, and after a great deal of bargaining, purchased an old flannel petticoat for ls. 3d. She afterwards went into the shop of Mr. Barton, butcher, where she complained that the meat was as dear as the petticoat she had just bought; at the same time displaying it. Mr. Barton took hold of it, and feeling something hard in the hand, cut it open, when, to the joy of the poor woman, two W. notes were discovered. Mr. Tighe was sent for, and he handed the mone y over to the police for them to make inquiry about it. There cannot be a doubt, however, but that the woman is entitled to it, Mr. Tighe not knowing in what way the article came lute his pcoession. TALACRE COAL AND IRO.'" COMPANY.

It appeared that a lir.

Mr. Hornidge this, and matters began to assume a very thr eil ; t t e fj, ing aspect, as both parties were very much exe ‘ r n - o t and were only separated by a small table. This di" n ot i last long, and that part of this very complicated u' ness was set at ,rest by Mr. Hornidge entering iu t t ° o kind of explanation of the part he had takgail l „;,t, various transactions of the 'Company.--Mt'. the solicitor to the present actin& Directors, then 6 ' 1% to the meeting- that the Report, together with the el planation of the former Directors, had been Pri nt ,,, e e r and he wished to ask Air.

Mr. Taylor then turned to Alderman " and asked him how it was that he, in drawing the and deed of settlement, had not made the trustees lista. 31. it ?—Mr. Alderman Wood said that it was iropt s or t for him to make any statement as the printed „P`Per had been delivered to him so recently; but he 00,4 sisted that he had received no benefit from thsS pany whatever, nor did ho expect yty.—Mr. Tot r or c)op plied to this, that for an innocent man, Mr. ,bitt course was most extraordinary.—Mr. Wood OlL." fle was not the business of the meeting ; there wiThilt. question before the chair, and he did not die' such a question was altogether in order.--I‘, v i o r, cussion then ensued between Messrs. 4 ,. 51 ce9 Wood, and Weston, as to the ignorance of certain r r i j c h who had been present at a former meeting, anal • e seemed very gratifying to the parties not con'—tb,r, The conversation then took a different turn altogis " and turned upon the press in general, and Galif ial o o Messenger in particular.

Yes, it became pollin et4 mc • to serve Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood's purposes, Why, even Galignani contained his name, and her o was stated that Mr. Wood had, with his usual tilwo••1 sense, given 5001. to the sufferers by the Talscre ie „ fre Company.—Mr. Wood said he should-very m uch JP; be. know who put that in, for he had never heard of f b iejt fore.

Holders of Foreign have evinced firmness, and have re fused to sell any description but at full rates, the mar ket, however has been in a dull state, and the operations privately in either Brazil or St. Domingo have been tri vial ; at aucii in 462 bags of the latter were taken in at 41s Gd for good ord bad coloury, being the full value. This afternoon the home consumption Coffee market was firm, and the demand good ; at public sale GOO bags Ceylon sold at 67s 6d to 70s Gd for good and fine ordi nary, being the full value. Privately some parcels were sold at similar rates. The market for Foreign is still quiet.

The better kinds of Congou were the most in request. To-day there was less;desire manifested on the part of the trade to operate in Tea, and privately little business was transacted, the falling off in the demand is to be ascribed to the intelligence received from China ; holders of Free Trade, however, were not disposed to - lower their pretensions. and at the public sales of 2,830 pkgs, previous rates were sustained, and a fair proportion of the Tea offered sold as follows, viz.-Congou blackish wiry leaf at 2s 4-id to 2s 41d, middling blackish leaf 2s lfd to 2s 2d ; Caper 2s 1.111 to 2s 2fd ; Souchong fine 3s 4d to 3s 4101 ; Orange Pekoe 2s 14d to 2s 101 d, flowery fine 4s ; Hysori Skin 2s 3,1c1 to 2s 34-cl ; Hyson middling 2s 2d to 2s 41c1; Imperial, good middling, 3s Id to 3s lid; Gunpowder 2s 10d to ss, some parcels of Congou blackish leaf mixed, withdrawn at 7-, tons 2d, and Bohea at is 8d per lb.

TALLOW.-Although the arrivals of Russian Tallow have been large this week, still holders have evinced firmness, and having refrained from pressing sales, have kept prices pretty steady. On the spot a fair demand has prevailed for P. Y. Candle at 46s 9d to 47s per cwt., but the merchants generally refusing to sell, excepting for cash, has tended to curtail operations, still the trade are more disposed to do business ; for delivery up to the end of the year the ope rations have been to a fair extent at 46s 6d per cwt., but for Spring months.few purchases have been made; 47s 6d per cwt is however required. South American has met with more attention. Town Tallow in good request at the rates quoted.

In Lin seed Oil extensive purchases have been made, both by the home trade and shippers, and prices have advanced to 363 to 36s 3d, at which rates the crushers are not de sirous to enter into contracts, owing to the scarcity of seed. In Rape Oil a fair business has been done at full rates. Palm has been taken sparingly, and 331 the value of the best. Olive Oil is much wanted, but little is to be had, and prices rule high.
