3.1 t FRANCE. A report having been mentioned in some of the journals that the cholera had broken out at Nice, the British Consul in that city, Mr. Lacroix, has written to contradict the: report, and enclosed certificates to the same effect from the two English resident physicians, Doctors Travis and Gurney. The Consul, after declaring that there was not the slightest foundation for the report that the cholera had appeared at Nice, adds, "It is the opinion of the medical board that never was the sanitary state of this place more satisfactory than it is at present. It may also be mentioned as a striking fact that, in the former outbreak of the cholera in this country, whilst other places on the same line of coast were severely visited by :the malady, the average annual mortality of Nice was only increased by about twenty deaths." AUSTRIA. Letters from Pesth of the 29th of September i (pub lished in Lloyd), state that it wa s understood n that city that the concessions to the garrison of Comorn would include the granting of passports to foreign cou ntries to all those compromised in the rebellion, it being obligatory upon the insurgents to leave Hun gary within 48 hours. There was also a report afloat that 600,000 florins would be granted to the inhabitants of Comorn for " the raising of that city from its ruins ;" and it was even believed that some arrange ment would be made for the redemption of the paper money in actual circulation. The Ost-Deutsche Post, on the other hand, states that the troops in the garrison were to receive eight days' pay, and that the compromised leaders were to be allowed to depart. The same paper adds that the capitulation had been already confirmed by the Em peror. According to the Breslau Zeitung there were 7,000 regular troops and 18,000 honveds in Comorn. AUSTRIA AND TURKEY. A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult. says—" It is reported to. day that Kossuth and the other leaders of the Hungarian insurrection, who were at Con stantinople, have embarked for England. It is also said, that the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors immediately presented a dote demanding a sum of one hundred millions of piastres, being the amount of the treasure which the rebels . had carried off with them. It is added that the Sultan had gone to Broussa. We wait with impatience for the confirmation of this intelligence. The new loan continues to attract subscribers both in Vienna and the provinces. Th• sum already subscribed in Austria itself amount to 16 millions. Condemnations are rapidly going on at Pesth. A workman has been condemned to eight years' hard labour for making use of insulting expressions towards the Emperor. It is positively stated that General Nugent has fallen into disgrace for having pre maturely announced the surrender of Comoro, which he was compelled to contradict in a few hours. The Archduke Francis and the Archduchess Sophia, the august relatives of the Emperor, went yesterday to the Palace of Schcenbrunn to offer their congratu lations to:Marshal Radetzky. They will shortly re turn to Ischl. Marshal Haynau has :gone to Pres burg. The Austrian army will be divided into 44 corps d'armie, which may be abolished at any mo ment. It will have six regiments of artillery. The postal reform has given general satisfaction, as the dispatch of letters and journals is much accelerated. It is said that Brody will lose its commercial privi leges as well as Venice; public opinion is divided on the policy of this measure." HAMBURG H. (From the Hamburgh Borsenhalle.) HAMBURGII, OCT. 2.—The Hamburgh Senate, in answer to the protest of the constituency to the mea sures lately proposed, have simply referred the same to the assent of the corporation of citizens, and re commended a peaceable adjustment of the difference with the committee appointed for that purpose. At Schleswig a meeting was held by a large num ber of inhabitants, to deliberate on the late steps of the new Provisional Administration, especially with regard to the annulling of the fundamental law of 1848, and a solemn protest was resolved upon, cha racterising that measure as high treason. The Upper Court of Appeals for both duchies, re siding at Kiel, has also intimated to the said Adminis tration that it cannot recognise the actual state of affairs brought on by the acts of the Administration as legal and valid, and that it can only attend to those affairs as far as requisite for the interests of the litigant parties. Besides M. Von Plessen, newly commissioned Amtmann for Tondern, in North Schleswig, also M. Von Konnerup Botch (Denials Conseil:ler d'Etat and one of the old refugees from Schleswig), on a mission to the town of Schleswig for the purpose of re-op posing the old Danish stamp on the supply of stamped paper at the respective public offices, has been miserably turned out of his place by the in habitants. The greater part of the Schleswig recruits called in by the Schleswig-Holstein Statholdership for the Ist of Octobrr are eagerly joining their regiments, despite of the late prohibition of the new Adminis tration. To judge by the circumstance that the salaries of the functionaries, pensions, expenditures for the public institutions, &c., in Schleswig, due on the Ist of Oc tober, are not paid, it would appear the new Adminis tration has exhausted its funds. _ _ The Constitutional Correspondence of Berlin states that the negotiations for peace are shortly to com mence at that place. Chamberlain Reedtz has been recalled•, and replaced by M. Von Pechlin as Danish Commissary. Exchanges ara nogotiated on London, three months, at 13 111 money ; short, 13 12/ bills and money ; Paris, three months, 186 money; short, 184/ money ; Amsterdam, three months, 35 40 bills and money ; Petersburgh, three months, 33i money ; Vienna, three months, 155 money ; Berlin, three months, 151 k money. Money abundant, discount 1 f per cent. Funds firm with mo derate transactions :—Hamburgh Three-and-a Half per Cents , 84k bills, 8411 money ; Ha nover Five per Cents., 106 money; Russian- English Loan, 105} bills, 105/ money ; Russian, Hope and Co.'s Certificates, Five per Cents., 94 money; ditto, Stiegli:z Four per Cents., 84/ bills, 841 monuy ; Prussian Five per Cents., 1061 bills; Danish Three per Cents., old, 72i bills, 721 money ; ditto, new, 73 bills, 72/ money ; Spanish Five per Cents., 10/ bills; ditto Three per Cents., 25k bills, 25} money; United States Six per Cents., 105 k bills, 1051 money. ITALY. Monseignor Garibaldi, Nuncio of the Holy See at the Court of Naples, is nominated Nuncio at Paris. The Eiforma of Lucca states from Rome, 26th ult., that MM. Mercier and Galli had returned to Rome. The latter had not been able to obtain from the Pope the authorisation to sell the ecclesiastical lands already mortgaged by the Pope. The deficit was stated at 3,000,000 francs per month ; moreover the nonpayment of the interest of the debt and of the Treasury bills :become due, is not likely to:inspire capitalists with confidence for the conclusion of a loan. The Duke of Parma has published a decree, authorising the President of Grace, Justice, and Police to concede, in the name of the Duke, dispensa tions of impediments to matrimony. The Milan Gazette publishes a notification by Count Moutecuccoli, dated Milan, 28th ult., an nouncing that the convention concluded between Austria and Piedmont on the 4th of Decem ber, 1834, and ratified on the 16th of March, 1835, for the repression of smuggling on the waters of the Lago Maggiore, the Po, and the Ticino, shall commence to be again enforced from the Ist of October, 1849, on the condition expressed by Art. 24 of the said convention, namely, that it shall be under stood to continue for successive periods of two years, until either of the Governments shall give three months' notice of its cessation. The masters of laden boats entering the waters of the Po and the Ticino are, therefore, directed to declare their cargoes to tha first custom-house on their way, on pain of being treated as smugglers. General Gorzkowski, Civil and Military Governor of Venice, has issued a notification, dated the 26th ult., directing that the jurisdiction of the Tribunal of Appeal, and that of the Criminal Tribunal of Venice, shall, from the Ist of October, extend over all the Venetian provinces, as was the case before March, 1848. The sections of appeal of Verona, Padua, and Treviso, as also the criminal jurisdiction provisionally attributed to the tribunals of Udine, Treviso, and ]lovigo, are to cease on the 30th of September. By another notification of the 25th, any resistance offered to the revenue officers shall be judged a n d pun i s h e d by martial law. SICILY. Letters from Naples of the 27th ult. state that Sicily is to have a separate administration distinct from Naples, a Consult or Chamber chosen by the muni• eipalities, and that the Prince de Casaro is to be ap pointed Viceroy. • _ Two distressing cases of cholera occurred in West Allington, Bridport, during this week. A child of a car penter, who was just recovering from the smallpox, was seised sad carried off by it very rapidly. The mother lifted up her arms suddenly, and cried out "Now I am taken." - She was smitten on Friday evening, and was a corpse during the night. Bridport has had much diarrhoea, but only a few cases of cholera. The present canes are peculiarly distressing. To add to the calamity, the husband was absent from home, at Lyme, and was only sent for this morning at six o'clock, after his wife's death, so that on his return, he finds his wife and child corpses. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The transactions during the week have been con siderable, and a much larger amount of business might have been transacted, if sellers could have been found ; negotiations, however, are still going on for shares in most of our dividend-paying mines, which appear to be in demand for investment. Treviskey and Barrier, Tincroft, Stray Park, and Trelawny, have been sought for at advanced prices, and in some of these mines a large number of shares have changed hands. East Wheal Rose, South Frances, South Basset, North Pool, and Great Consols are also inquired for. East Pool . is represented as looking very well, and North Pool continues to improve in the bottom level, which is worth from 601. to 701. per fm., and the late discovery in the 24 fm. level is producing five tons per fm. Shares in the following mines have been sold dur ing the week :—East Wheal Rose, South Basset, Tincroft, Trehane, Trelawny, Mary Ann, Treviskey and Barrier, Mendip Hills, Lewis, Bedford United, Stray Park, Camborne Consols, West Caradon, Birch Tor and Vitifer, Devon and Courtenay, and West Providence. In foreign mines there has been a fair proportion of business done, and the following have changed hands, with buyers still in the market :—United Mexican, Copiapo, St. John del Rey, National Brazilian, Alten, Imperial Brazilian, Australian, Gua dalcanal, &c. By private letters we learn that some important discovery has been made at Bon Accord (adjoining Burra Burra Mine, in South Australia), one-third part of which belongs to the North British Australa sian Company; and a demand, in consquence, has taken place for shares at an advance on former quota tions. Official reports are daily expected from the mine. THE A RMY A ND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of the day.) SHIPS COMMISSIONED. -Our anticipations have been in some measure realised with reference to the com missioning of more ships; but the news from Turkey should have obliged the Admiralty to have brought, at least, five line-of-battle ships forward. The following ships have had captains appointed to them during the last few days:— Sailing Vessels—Leander, 50, Captain nacres, Ports mouth; Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, Portsmouth. Steamers—Firebrand, 8, Captain Knox, Woolwich; Spiteful, 6, Commander Carmichael, Devonport; Con flict (schooner), 14, Commander Drake, Devonport. In addition to these, the Ganges, 84, arrived at De vonport from Cork, has been ordered to fill up her com plement from 500 to 750. The Superb, 80, at Spithead, has not yet received instructions to complete her full ship's company. For the above ships 1,370 officers, seamen, and marines will be required. About 200 blue jackets are and speedily will be available, who have re turned, or are returning, from leave; and we are in formed that, on inquiry at Liverpool, there are about 350 seamen in the Sailors' Home, and that the number of unemployed is increasing as the timber ships arrive. THE CAPTAINS' GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We are now enabled to announce that the Captains' Good Ser vice Pension, vacant by the promotion of Rear-Ad miral Sir Gordon Bremer, has been conferred on the Gallant Officer named by us a fortnight since—Com modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., who is about re turning to England from three years' service as Com mander-in. Chief of the Brazils station. . - THE LIEUTENANT'S OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH. —The vacant Lieutenant's Out-Pension of Greenwich Hospital has been conferred upon Lieutenant Edward Cole (1806), a most gallant old officer, who was pressed into the service in 1798, as Captain of the maintop of the Inflexible, 64, and was rated a midshipman of tho Redoubt, 50, the following year. THE NEW STEAM-VESSELS FOR THE RESERVE SQUADRON.—Fresh orders have been issued with respect to the Megmra, screw-frigate, Desperate, Magician, and Buzzard, screw-sloops, in the Thames. They are to have their guns and carriages, and fittings, in all re spects, ready before they are navigated to Sherness. Captain Philip King, R.N. (1830), is about to emi grate to New South Wales, having received a grant of land from the Colonial-office. THE SHELL JACKET NUISANCE.—A rumour is our rent that her Majesty has signified her wish that this most unpopular innovation upon decency should be set aside, and a blue frock coat be again substituted. This must be cheering news, now that the cold weather is coming on. FUEL FOR BARRACKS.—The Board of Ordnance have notified to barrack masters that the summer allowance of coals to the troops in barracks will commence on the Ist May, instead of Ist April, and the winter allowance on the Ist Nov,, instead of Ist Oct., in every year. The Enrolled Pensioners will not be called cut again for exercise during the present year. PORTSMOUTH GARRISON.—The 4th, 77th, and the Ist battalion of the 91st Regiment, with a Company of Sappers and Miners, and a smatl•arm battalion of the Royal Marine Artillery, were brigaded on Southsea Common on Thursday, for drill, by Major-General Lord - F re d er ick Fitzolexence, commanding the District. SCENE IN A REVISING BAR. RISTER'S COURT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MORPETEr, FRIDAY, OCT. 5.—A scene of a very amusing character occurred in the Revising Barris ter's Court in this town on Wednesday, which had well nigh resulted in a violent assault being inflicted upon the presiding judge, Mr. Thomas Jefferson Hogg, by Mr. Woodman, a respectable solicitor, and Town clerk of this borough. The matter has given rise to a very considerable degree of gossip among the in habitants, and deserves a brief chronicle. Mr. Jefferson Hogg, the Revising Barrister, has for many years past revised the list of voters for this borough, and also for the county of Northumberland, in which it is situate. It will be remembered that he was one of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the municipal corporations preparatory to the passing of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, and that he was strongly biassed in favour of the old corporate system in some, if not all, of the towns which he visited and reported upon, so much so indeed, that, if my memory does not fail me, he not only refused to sign the general report of the Commissioners to the House of Commons, but drew up and presented a protest against that report. He it was likewise who, some two years ago, wrote a some what indiscreet and intemperate letter to Sir Robert Peel on the subject of his (the writer's) share in that commission, which went the round of the newspapers. With considerable urbanity and courtesy of manner, and with a temper admirably cool, Mr. Hogg, never theless, can, and does, occasionally use language to persons transacting business in his court, under which they absolutely wince, such is its severity. It was whilst administering a reproof of this kind to an overseer that the circumstances arose which I shall presently relate. Mr. Woodman, to whom I have referred, in his capacy of Town. clerk, and also as an agent of the Liberal interest in this county, has been brought fre quently in contact with Mr. Hogg, and it would seem that some angry feelingexisted between them ; for it is said, that whilst the other gentlemen in attendance on the court on Wednesday rose to receive the Bar rister on his entering the court, Mr. Woodman did not join in that customary mark of courtesy. The princi pals being thus brought before the reader, I shall now relate what transpired, so far as I have been able to collect it from the lips of the bystanders. Besides Mr. Woodman, I ought to mention that Mr. Fenwick, the agent of Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Anthony Charlton, a respectable attorney in the town, were among the principal persons present in the court, and also a son of Mr. Woodman, now under articles to his father. A man named Dobson, who bas for many years been the permanent overseer of Bedlington, part of this borough, presented the list of claimants in his parish to the Revising Barrister for revision, in the ordinary way, whereupon The Barrister took occasion to administer a very severe reltruke to the overseer on the filthy state in which his list was, remarking that it was disgraceful to him, and that he was wholly unfit for the situation which he held, and applyi ng several offensive epithet s to him. He then called up o n the overseer to pr o d uce his rate-book, which bei ng d one , h e (th e B arr i s t er ) animadverted in equally if not more offensive terms upon the condition of that document. Mr. Woodman, with some little warmth of manner rose and said he begged the Barrister's pardon for interrupting him for a moment, but he (Mr. Wood man) could not sit still and hear Mr. Dobson (the overseer's) feelings, wounded in that way by the Bar. lister. Mr. Dobson he (Mr. Woodman) knew to be respectable man, and well esteemed among his neigh bours and townsmen, and, as a proof that they deemed him worthy tolfill the situation, he might say that Mr. Dobson had discharged it s duties for several years. He, therefore, begged that the Barrister would discontinue the use of languag e so opprobrious as that which he had applied to Mr. Dobson. The Barrister—What I am I to be dictated to by a pettifogging attorney ? Mr. Woodman (with still more warmth)—Whether or no he was a pettifogging attorney, he begged to tell the Learned Gentleman that he was not a briefless barrister ; and he would have him also remember that he (the Revising Barrister) was not now abusing Sir Robert Peel, and that he should not apply language like that to him with impunity. Here the Barrister, with the greatet coolness, motioned Mr. Woodman towards the door. Mr. Woodman, waxing into a passion at that moment, replied that th e d oor was there for the Bar rister as well as for him, adding with great vehe mence (and clutching, while he spoke , at a stick which Mr. Fenwick, who stood close b y, held in his hand) "I'll horsewhip you, sir." Mr. Fen wick, however, happily for Mr. Hogg, re tained firm hold of his stick. Bat for that an assau l t of a most violent and degrading description must, in all probability-, have boen inflicted upon the presiding Barrister, and it is not difficult to imagine what the consequences would have been to Mr. Woodman, himself a lawyer, for striking a Judge in his own court. But the matter did not end here. Mr. Wood man being foiled in his attempt to obtain Mr. Fen wick's stick, rushed out of the room in an agitated mariner to his own house, and was returning with a stick to inflict personal chastisement, it is believed, on the Barrister, when he was met by Mr. Fenwick and Mr. Charlton, who succeeded in dissuading him from carrying the matter further. " I wonder you have not a sane man for your town-clerk," said the Barrister to Messrs. Fenwick and Charlton, after Mr. Woodman had gone; but those gentlemen made no reply, and instantly left the court, leaving Mr. Woodman's son and the Barrister to transact the business between them. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. IRISH MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN. An extraordinary meeting of the above company was held on Wednesday at the Broadstone terminus, Dublin. Mr. Born, deputy chairman, presided, who on opening the business, said that the directors had called that meeting in order to submit a resolution to the shareholders in compliance with the Act of the 10th and 11th of Victoria, c. 62, by which it was provided that in consideration of a Government loan of 500,0001. for the purpose of constructing the exten sion of the Midland Great Western Railway from Mullingar to Galway, the directors should be au thorized to mortgage the line to the Crown. The resolution, having, been seconded by Mr. J. BOYCE, was unanimously adopted. Mr. TAYLOR said it was the interest of the share holders that the resolution which had just been adopted should be carried unanimously, and although he was aware that no body of gentlemen could be actu ated by a higher sense of honour than those who com posed the board of directors, he would implore them to take warning by the past, and exercise the utmost of their ability in economising the funds committed to their trust. He had been nearly a quarter of a century in the exercise of his profession, and in that course of time he had a great deal to do in the ma nagement of estates, and from his long experience, and from what he had lately seen in the provinces, he could tell the directors that this country, with respect to property in general, was in a most deplorable con dition. He was desirous to see the works of the railway construced in a durable manner, but he would implore the directors to pause before they would con sent to the building of Italian edifices and Grecian colonnades an the line from Mullingar to Galway. The CHAIRMAN said, the board fully concurred in the observations which had just fallen - from the last speaker. They (the directors) had not hitherto spent money lavishly, and they would in future be still more particular with regard to economy, than they had been even for the time past.—(Hear.) The meeting then separated. THE SEIN, LONDON,-- TOURNAY TO JURBISE AND LANDEN TO HASSELT. A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held on Thursday at the office, Upper Thames-street, to consider the promised report of the directors to be presented to the general meeting of the company, at Brussels, on the sth of next month. Mr. Kennard took the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, stated that they were merely of a formal character, as no business could be legally transacted by them except at Brussels. They were called together at the earliest possible period, to be informed of the state of their affairs and to receive the report of the directors. The reason they were delayed so long after the 30th of June was, that the Belgian Government re turns for June were not communicated to them until the middle of August ; and the directors had been in Paris making arrangements for direct trains from Calais to Brussels which would pass over their line. On the 10th of September the arrangements were concluded, by which it was expected considerable benefit would arise to the company. Having adverted to the difficulties which the direc tors had to encounter in the construction of the line, he proceeded to state that the result of the traffic at the end of the six months' working was greatly below the expectations which they had pre viously formed of it. Looking to the grounds on which their anticipations were based, he had no doubt the railway would ultimately realize them. In Bel gium the traffic moved very slowly. They found the carriers continued the old mode of conveyance, al though the railway could carry for one-third less. He congratulated the proprietors on having completed 47 miles of railway without any assistance from the Government, notwithstanding the difficulties they had met with in the financial crisis—the bankruptcy of their banker, who had 1,000,000 f. (40,0001.) in his hands at the time of his failure, the famine, the revo lution of a neighbouring state, cholera, and nothing but trouble and difficulties on all sides. In a few weeks they would deliver up the line to the Govern ment completed. The SECRETARY then read the report, which -....n of considerable lengtia. It ..t..t....a tAnst the con- , cession of the lines was sanctioned by royal ordi nance on the 21st of July, 1845. By the sta tutes, the founders of the company were personally bound to the Belgian Government for the execu tion of the works of the two lines; and, by a fixed contract with the Government, they undertook to construct at their own cost and risk the whole of the works, and to defray the expenses of the company during construction, on condition of receiving the produce of 25,000 shares (500,0001.) After describing the difficulties and delays in obtaining the sanction of the Government to the plans and sections of the lines, the possession of land, and progress of the works, it stated the section of the line from Jurbise to Maffies, about nine miles, was opened for traffic in September 1847. The last call was made in August, 1848, but arrears were due to a considerable amount. The president obtained a loan of 30,0001. for the company from the bank of Belgium; and on the 30th of Oc tober, 1848, the whole of the Tournay and Jurbise line was opened for traffic with a single line of rails ; and on the 10th of January, 1849, was defi nitively received by the Government, on whom henceforth the maintenance of it devolves. The se cond line of rails are now on the eve of completion. For the nominal capital of 500,0001. the company is in possession of two lines of railway (in all about 47 miles in length), constructed at an average cost of 10,6381. per mile, including all expenses during the period of construction. The construction of the state railways in Belgum had cost 19,2401. per mile, not including the interest of capital. The Govern ment is bound to maintain and work the two lines with its own stock and staff. They received 50 per cent. of the gross receipts for working them by con tract, extending over the entire term of the concession (90 years). The remaining SO per cent. is paid monthly to the company. The recent convention entered into between the Belgian Government and the direction of the Northern of France lines places the Tournay and Jurbise railway in the same rank as the Government lines, and promises the speedy organiza tion of direct trains without change of carriage from Calais and Lille to Brussels by Tournay. The line from Man4ge to Mons, which will bring the coal to the Tourney litre, with an economy of about 20 per cent. in the transport, was not opened throughout to Mona till the present month. Assuming that the line from Tournay to Jurbise (10 leagues) might be con sidered an average line for traffic, and that of Hasselt (54 leagues) one-half this average, and taking the average of the general receipts of the Belgian lines for the last four years, the share accruing to the com pany would amount to 62,0001. per month, or 6 per cent. on the capital expended. These were the anti cipatory calculatiOns of the directors, but the results come greatly below them, which they attribute to the state of trade, the slow development of the traffic, and of the reluctance of the Belgians to remove it from the common road to the railway. The Landen and Hasselt line was opened the entire distance of 17 miles on the Bth of December, 1847. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent. was paid to the shareholders during the con struction of the lines. The gross receipts of both lines for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 267,0381., of which 37,1831. was received in January; 36,513 f. in February; 40,695 f. in March; 49,681 f. in April; 53,2091. in May; and 49,756 f. in June. Fifty per cent. of the gross receipts paid over to the company amounted to 5,2361., from which the expenses of management, 3391. in England and 6051. in Belgium, together 9441. is deducted, leaving 4,2921. ; w hi c h, di v id e d over 25 , 000 s h ares , gives a dividend of 3s. sd. per share for the half-year on the 201. share. The CHAIRMAN' OR mo v i ng th report and accounts, stated that t thed a doption the a shares amount e d t o 160,0001.; h e y were r r p ei t na l Ortsnh the 00 hands of a nt thehdes of the contractors,upanwdhtaht was ehareholders could h ave themdue o on them. The traffic paying lines in July amounted to 54,274 t e o by n their am francs, and in August to ab ou t 60,000 ran which was not far from the anticip a t e d average amount—viz., o f ) o e t line, e 8 62 e , 1 0 g 0 i r o a ffi n c o s i l s H i e n then ny a i d n v g e r the te d t o o x itshtee conduct e of the an and the consequent shortening of the distance between Calais and Brussels, because they were interested einn sending passengers by the other route. The comp any had a resident director in Belgium at 600 /. a year, "a secretary at 3001. a year, and an accountant at 1601. a year. He thought the company ought to spend more money in advertising than they did. He be lieved that when the route by their line from Calais to Brussels was known, passengers from England would not go to Ostend, because they would save five or six hours sea voyage and 1/. in money. Mr. PATERSON seconded the motion. A discussion ensued on the cost of management being 9441. for the half-year, while the ,total receipts of the company were only 5,236/. It was explained that no reduction could be made in the expenditure at present, nor for two years to come. Mr. CAZENOVE highly approved of the report, and thought they should not think of reducing the salaries of the gentlemen employed by the company. The report was then unanimo us ly a d o pt e d. The CHAIRMAN alluded to the handsome way in which the Belgian workmen behaved to the company in working for them, when the latter had no means of paying them, and the works must have stopped, had it not been for the workmen carrying them on. He fully expected that the traffic on their lines would be doubled in the course of the next two years. He said that Mr. R. Stephenson had esti mated that the line would pay 71 per cent. On the motion of Mr. DixoN, seconded by the Hon. Mr. BUTLER, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

Charles _Bishop, of Park- farm, Richmond, was charged with wilfully and corruptly giving false evidence in an examination before a Commissioner of Bankrupts. It appeared that a fiat and proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy bad been instituted on the 28th of April, 1849, against Hugh Swan, of 57, High-street, Camden-town, and of 15, Hanway-street, Tottenham court-road, in the county of Middlesex, draper and chapman. Mr. Swan surrendered himself under the fiat on the 16th of May. On the 15th of June the prisoner, who was described as Charles Bishop, of Mortlake, in the county of Surrey, was examined as to his connexion with the bankrupt, when, amongst other statements, he swore that " he never put money in the savings' bank or in the Bank of England." It, however, was shown th at a person who was believed to be the prisoner, had, in company with a man named John Hopkins, called on a Mr. Thomas William Duff, a clerk in the Bank of England, and after a represen tation being made that the prisoner had received 25/. from a sweepstake, and wished to invest it in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, it was accordingly so invested in the name and description of " Charles Bishop, of Walham-green, Fulham, gentleman ;" and the transfer of 251. 15s. sd. was from " Mr. Stanton Mitchell, of the Stock Exchange, to Charles Bishop." The signature to the prisoner's depositions was also sworn to. Mr. Jones prayed for a further remand, as he thought he had brought forward sufficient evidence to justify the Alderman in doing so. Mr. Price contended there was not, as no identity had been proved. Alderman KELLY said, he thought there was suffi cient evidence before him ; and, therefore, he stood remanded until Thursday next. Mr. Price said, that perhaps the Alderman would accept bail. Mr. Alderman KELLY said he would, the prisoner in 801. and two sureties in 401. each, with 24 hours' notice. The prisoner was conveyed to the Compter. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Hedge Wickham, picture dealer, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with a series of frauds on picture dealers, and also with having unlawfully obtained and disposed of 31 pictures, some of considerable value, the property of Alfred Bartington, !picture dealer, 48, Grosvenor street. A great many pawnbrokers came forward and pro duced pictures pledged by order of the prisoner. After a vast quantity of evidence spreading over three separate examinations had been gone through, Mr. BINGHAM decided upon convicting the prisoner on three cases, inflicting a fine of 51. in addition to the value of the property in each case, or two months' imprisonment—making in all six months' imprison ment. WESTMINSTER. William Seabright, a well known thief, was charged with stealing a valuable table timepiece from the residence of Lady Louisa Emily Seaford, 60, Eaton- square. Between eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning James Thomas, a plasterer at work near her Lady ship's house, observed the prisoner and two other fellows lurking about the place, and shortly after• wards missed the prisoner for two or three minutes, and then saw him join his companions with something concealed under his coat. The plasterer, whose suspicions were excited, immediately followed them, accompanied by a man named Holder, when the prisoner, having suddenly turned round and observed them, threw a timepiece into the enclosca. s .rac.D in Eaton-square and took to his heels, but was pursued and captured by a policeman. It was shortly after wads discovered that the timepiece had been stolen from the residence of Lady Seaford, in the front parlour of which it had been seen safe upon the mantelpiece a few minutes before the prisoner threw it into the enclosure. He had entered her Ladyship's house by the front parlour window, which was found open upon the timepiece being missed. The prisoner, who pretended he knew nothing about the robbery, was committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. James Jackson and his wife, Charlotte Jackson, both of whom were also known under numerous aliases, were placed at the bar for final examination before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen large quantities of plate and other valuable property from different dwelling-houses, to which the female prisoner had obtained access in the character of a servant. The depositions in several cases of robbery, very cleverly traced out by Sergeant Dubois, having been taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, against the prix soners, they were both committed to Newgate for trial upon four distinct charges. In the course of the day the Rev. Dr. Evans, rector of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and one of the district incumbents of St. Mary's, Whitechapel, whose name we did not catch, attended in court, at Mr. Arnold's solicitation, with a view of entering into an arrangement for the establishment of a local committee fur the better disbursement of the funds contributed by benevolent persons for the relief of the bereaved sufferers by the ravages of cholera, and in the course of his observations in relation to that object the ma gistrate took occasion to intimate that he had received altogether about 501. for such purposes, one half of which had been already expended in donations, at the rate of 103. to each applicant, whose claims had been first thoroughly investigated by the warrant officers of the court ; but the number of such applications had lately so greatly increased, that he regretted to say he had been compelled to reduce his donations to one half that amount, to enable him to meet the demands that were made upon him, and he feared that, even with that diminution, the amount in his hands would be very soon wholly exhausted. He was induced, therefore, to solicit the assistance and co-operation of the Rev. Gentleman for the formation of a local com mittee, to whom he could hand over the balance in his possession for judicious disbursement, and the knowledge of the establishment, of which, if it were publicly noticed, would no doubt induce many chari table persons who had the means in their power to come forward for the relief of the serious distress which prevailed to such an extent from that visitation in the district. The Minister of St. Mary's was happy to be able to state that his parish had been more mercifully dealt with in the course of the ravages of the dreadful malady than the adjoining districts of Shoreditch and Bethnal-green, in one of which he had ascertained that no fewer than the extraordinary number of 200 interments had taken place in one fortnight; and having, through the munificent liberality of one gentlemen, whose name he had no hesitation in men tioning—Mr. Fowell Buxton, been furnished with ample means to relieve the majority of the cases which had come under bis notice, he was anxious, on the part of his parishioners, to forego any participa tion in the magistrate's fund, and leave it for the relief of the more distressed localities. After some further observations, in the course of which both clergymen expressed their concurrence and earnest desire to cooperate in the magistrate's benevolent suggestions, Mr. ARNOLD intimated his gratification, and the Rey. Gentlemen quitted the court. MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " Th e Old World and the Ne w," seems likely to become as popular as any of her earlier sketches of transatlantic life. With her accustomed skill as a painter of men and manners, Mrs. Trollop (says the John Bull) has here constructed a tale as attractive as any that has ever proceeded from her talented pen. Like most of the other productions of this popular authoress, the tale exhibits two k in ds of attr ac tions, perfectly distinct from each other; the excel lence of lofty and generous characters whose inward worth lifts them above the vicissitudes of life; and the coarse vulgarity of another class of men an d women tar the more numerous, as times go, both in the " Old World" and the "New," whose whole worth consists in the ad ventitious ad vantages of wealth, rack, beauty, and fashion. The contrast between the two, skilfully brought into contact with each other, adds great zest to a work otherwise; 'veil calculated to met the retideekattentiou. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 5.) SUGAR.—To• day West India Muscovado was operated in with caution for all purposes, and on the part of some of the holders a greater desire was evinced to sell at a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt; still the pur chases amounted to only 450 hhds, &c., including 70 IA& chrystalized Demerara at public sale, which realised from 39s to 49s for yellow, and brown 35s 6d to 38s 6d. REFINED.—To-day there was no variation in the value of Refined Sugar, but not much business was concluded. The demand for Bonded Cruihed Sugar is still limited, at former rates, and there are free sellers. MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon there was not much desire evinced to make purchases in Mauritius Sugar, and at a public sale of 4,000 bags rather lower rates were acceded to; fine and fine yellow went at 38s to 41s 6d, low to middling 35s 6d to 37s 6d, brown 32s to 355, and low 28s to 31s Gd per cwt.

MOLASSES.—The market for West India has still a firm appearance; last week's rates are well supported, and purchases to a fair extent have been made; the sup ply of all sorts is also much reduced. Bengal Treacle is not much wanted,, still holders ask 14s 6d to 15s per cwt, and evince firmness. COCOA.—There are ready sellers of West India upon former reduced terms, still few buyers are to be met with, and the supply at market exceeds dealers wants. At public sale 48 barrels and 156 bags Trinidad were taken in at 38s to 41s for ordinary and middling, and 8 barrels St. Vincent's at 38s per cwt. For Foreign sellers are disposed to accept the low terms of 25s to 27s per cwt. TEA.—None has been submitted to public competition this week, but by private treaty the market is plentifully supplied with most descriptions. Fine and good descrip tions of Congou have been dealt in with caution at Is 3d to is 9d, and at these rates there are willing sellers; supplies continue to get larger. For other sorts a good demand exists, and the market is firm; ord and good ord at 9d to 9d. In the market for Green there has been much dulness, and holders are will ing sellers at rather lower rates; there is also a larger quantity on offer. Scented Teas are not much wanted, and can be obtained at a slight reduction, as supplies are better. COFFEE.—This . afternoon there was little desire on the part of shippers or home dealers to operate in Coffee, and most sorts can be obtained at rather lower rates. At public sale 51 bags Mysore were sold; good ordinary red at 35s 6d, yellow 37s 6d, fine ordinary 455, damaged 33s 6d to 35s 6d. 216 bags Plantation Ceylon, middling 53s to 545, low middling 50s 6d to 525, fine fine ordinary 445. 673 bags Rio were taken in at 32s to 32s 6d for ordinary broken mixed with black. 32 half-barrels roasted and partly ground were bought in at 4d per lb in bond. 184 cases Tellicherry were sold, fine and fine ordinary at 50s to 525, good ordinary 44s to 483 r and pea berry 56s 6d per cwt.

SPIRITS.—Holders of Jamaica ask full rates, and sup ply the market with less freedom, still the home and ex port demand is yet limited, and confined chiefly to the better sorts. The value of 28 to 30 per cent. over proof is from 2s 2d to 2s Bcl, 32 to 38 over 2s 9d to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 3s 10d per gallon. The business done in East India has been small, still there are not sellers under is 3d for proof of fair quality. In Leeward Island the sales made have been small at is 4d to is 5d proof, and there are not free sellers; a smaller quantity is also on offer. In Demerara the sales made have been trifling at is 10d to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent over proof. In the 13randy market there has been less activity this week, still holders are firm, and will not sell, but at fully last week's rates; home trade deliveries are still upon a large scale, and several parcels have been expected. Of old sorts few parcels are to be obtained. In the value of British made Spirit there is no variation, but dealers operate with caution, and the stock is getting larger. The demand fur Geneva is limited at is 9d td Is 10d, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d per gallon. FRUlT.—Since our last we have had a good many arrivals of new Fruit. On Monday four cargoes of Currants arrived from Patras and Vostizza, and one wince from ratras. The price opened at 425, at which th,,y continue. Very few sales have been effected, as the growers feel much disappointed with the quality. The arrivals of Valencia Raisins are very heavy, no less than thirteen vessels this week, and several others reported. The quality is very fine. The price was altered on Friday from 46s to 42F, at which it remains. Thera has been a good demand for old Currants at 36s for mid; fine old Vostizza 425. Several large sales of old Valencia Raisins have been effected for exportation.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. s.—Otir arrivals since Tuesday from Ireland are moderate of wheat, flour, and oatmeal, but coastwise the imports are quite trivial. From Europe, the United States, and Canada we have received liberal supplies of wheat, Indian corn, and flour, with fair quantities of other articles. With the exception of 2.371 barrels of flour, our exports in the same period are light. There has been a fair demand during the week for wheat, at fully former prices, the low qualities at tracting some attention for holding over. Flour, both sack and barrel, in moderate request at late rates. There has been more inquiry for Indian corn, and in the busi ness done previous prices have been well supported. We note no change in other articles. At this day's market there was a thin attendance of the trade. Wheat, both old and new, met a slow sale at the prices of Tuesday. Barrel flour barely supported former prices, and sack flour declined 6d per 2801bs. Indian corn with a fair demand brought full prices. Oats without change; but oatmeal must be quoted 6d per 2401bs lower. Barley, beans, and peas in retail request, and prices without alteration. Next Tuesday being appointed as a general fast, our market will be held on Monday. NEWBURY, OCT. 4.—The supply of wheat to-day is a fair average. The late damp weather has rather dete riorated the condition since last market. The demand is rather slack, but we cannot note any decline from the rates of last week. Barley an increased supply; mal sters not generally having commenced operations, the inquiry is slack; the better description of malting held 10 from 20s to 3os per quarter. deans, 9(40 1 and peas, short supply, but fully equal to the demand, and late rates about supported. EXETER, Oa 5.---Cattle—The market was very scantily supplied, as is usual immediately after Alphing. ton fair. Of fat beef there was scarcely any of prime quality on offer, prices ranged from 7s 6d to 8s 3d per score. Cows and calves were rather in request, and sold at 81 to 121. Store bullocks generally were scarce, and prices are nearly as of late. The supply of sheep and lambs was also small, under 600, but no improvement was perceptible in price, ewes being 4d, and wethers 4id to &id. per lb. Store wethers, 25s to 32s each. There was a large supply of store pigs, but not a very brick sale. - Pork carcases—The supply was about equal to that of last week, with but little difference in the price, which ranged from 7s to 89 3d per score. Pannier— Turkeys, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each; geese, 4s 6 , 1 to 63 6d; ducks, 3s 6d to 4s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s; partridges, 2s 6d; pheasants, 6s; hares, 2s 6d to 2s each; roasters, 3s 6d to ss. Butter, is per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for ls. Corn Exchange, One o'clock—Prices to-day are about the same as last week. The best samples of English wheat are worth 5s to 5s 3d per bushel. In foreign wheat ' scarcely anything is doing, the price being higher than that of home grown, whilst the factors remain firm, and are even asking rather higher prices than lest week. Red wheat 38s to 42s per qr, and white 46s (601bs to the bushel); but these quotations must be considered as merely nominal, from the cause above stated. In making barley but little is doing, prices range from 3s 3d to 36911 per bushel, but 3s 6d, or 28s per qr, is the most general figure. There has been a pretty brisk sale of oats, new at 2s per qr; old, which are scarce and but few samples shown, are worth lull 2s 9d; fine flour is 29s to 31s per sack of 280Ibs, but the millers complain that there is but very little demand. Two o'clock—We have but little to add to the above report. The business done has not been very extensive, the holders being disinclined to sell at prices offered, and standing out firmly for 5s 6d per bushel. They were the more confirmed in this course from the fact that one gentleman, a seller of foreign wheat, was a buyer of English.: KNARESBOROUaI, OCT. had a very' large show of wheat at this day's market, and prices were again on the decline. No material alteration in other kinds of grain. Wheat 5s to 6s, beans, 4s 3d to 4s 9d per bushel, bailey 26s to 30s, oats 18s to 20s per quarter. RIPON, OCT. 4.—We had a large supply at this day'''s market. All descriptions of grain on the decline, and very little business transacted. Wheat, white, 5s 6d to 6s 3d, red, do, 4s 9d, to 5s 9d, beans, 4s 3d to 5s per bushel ; barley 28s to 325; oats, 18s to 23s per quarter. SCARBOROIIGII, OCT. 4.—The supply of wheat to-day is large, the condition mostly indifferent, prices are re ceding, and the demand very slow. In barley and oats no alteration. Flour trade very dull. New wheat 5s 6d to 6s, old do, 6s to 6s 3d per 5 stones ; malting barley 26s to 275, grinding barley 24s to 25s per qr. of 32 stones ; new oats 8d to 9d, old do 9d to 101 per stone; superfine flour 37s to 38s, seconds do 32s to 33s per sack of 20 stones.

THE GREAT WESTERN PARCEL ROBBERY.-.—A. most active search has been made during the week, and up to a late hour last night, by Messrs. Collard and Lyndon, the officers of the Great Western Railway, and by inspector Smith, of the Detective Force, in connexion with the lost property, prior to the examination of the prisoner Barton, but without any successful result. It is believed that if the parcels aro not held back in the expeetation of .a large reward for their restoration, they have been either burnt or torn up, to destroy all trace of them, more particularly as they contained property that could not be easily converted into value. It is believed that the officers will be able to connect the in dividual in custody with another extensive robbery that occurred not long ago on the Great Western Railway, and in connexion with which for the restoration of the property the company had to pay 6001. to anonymous partiei. . Although none of the parcels have been found, the investigation has resulted in the indirect discovery of some valuable unclaimed documents, now lying for recognition at a common beer-shop, in Gloucester-place, East-lane, Walworth, brought there by a costermonger, who states that they were given to him by a sham lawyer, to take care of, but who has never been to re claim them. TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.—Lace : There is A moderate business doing with us, which we hope will continue until the Germans begin to buy again fir the winter Luipsic Fair, and the Americans give out their orders more bountifully than they have yet done. Yarns are very firm. Hosiery: The demand both for our home and American markets is in a very satisfactory condition; but of course the orders for the latter market may be said to be only commencing. Our accounts from Manchester this week are of a gloomy nature; many of the mills there, and the spinning districts generally, are to be worked short time, and it is expected some will cease to be worked till better times come. This state of the Lancashire trade, together with the news the Niagara brings this week of a failure in the cotton crop, will place spinners iu an awkward position.—Nuttingham Journal.

In this hopeless state she commenced tak. ing Holloway's Pills, and, to the utter astonishment of hersel. and all the family, this wonderful medicine has effected a per fect cure. Females at the meridian of life should always have recourse to these invaluable Pills.
