PORTUGAL. LISBON, OCT 4.—Al communication has been received • f rom the Spanish Government, notifying the abandon ment of the demands made upon Portugal, as far as re gards the deposits of British goods •, but intimating its pert a ante as regards tobacco and :Ala Under the treaty of Badajos, Portugal agreed to allow no larger quantity of these articles to be kent in its frontier towns than what was s iffclent fc r the u:I consumption of the inhabitants of those towns and their districts ; but as this tie ity must be considerel to all purposes null and void, it remains to be considered what right Spain has to c 11 upon Portugal to take these stets, with a view to prevent the smuggling of those articles across its fron tiers, at the very moment when Portugal is inun dated w:th Spanish corn, smuggled constantly over every part of the frontier, without any attempt what ev it on the part of Spain to do what it requires Portugal to dc—eo-oaerate in preventing the violation of absurd fiscal laws. The fact is, that such is the scarcity of salt, and such the cheapness of corn, in some of the Spanish Provinces adjoining Portugal, that a mule's load of salt is exchan Ted fcr am. 1 i's toad of coin ; and salt being of scarcely any value here, while wheat is twice the price it is on the Spanish side of the frontier, how is it po sible that contraband trade can be prevented in these articles ? Great complaints are made, of course, by the " landed interest" here, about the introduction of Spa nish corn and of Spanish brandies to some extent, and certainly Portugal has as much right to call on the Spanish Government to stop its wheat going into Por tia a', as that Government has to call un the Portuguese Goi ernment to stop its sale &c. going into Spain. The financial projects are proceeding through the Senate ; those for increasing the tax on the sale of pro perty to 10 per cent., and for extending the tax on con sumption at Li •le sn to ihs neighbouring districts have passed, and also the project increasing from three to s'x per cent, a tax levied on the amount of customs' duties in addition to the tariff; the formor tax of 3 per cent. was an impost paid by the importer,* and appropriated first to defray the petty expenses of the customs' department, the remainder being divided among the clerks, &c., to whom it frequently yielded, and does still, nearly as large a sum as their regular pay. This 3 per cent. is still to continue to the clerks as before, but an additional 3 per cent. is to be levied, which is to be paid over to the Board of Public Credit, towards the fund for the payment of the foreign dividends. A similar tax of 2 per cent. on the amount of the duties on internal consumption, paid at the Sete Castes, is increased to 4 per cent. for the same purpose. The questions of the abolition of the differential du ties, of the increased duties on woollens and some other articles, and of the 10 per cent. tax on the home divi dends, have not yet been discussed in the Senate. The Government continues, I believe, to urge the latter mea sure, which, notwithstanding its rejection by the Finance Committee of the Senate, is expected to pass by a small majority. All the other measures will, no doubt, be passed. The duty on fine cloths was raised by the De puties to 12 testoons (about ss. 6d.) per pound weight, being twice the previous amount, in conformity with the recommendation of the Committee to which it had been referred. The previous tax was stated to be under ten per cent. ad valorem, and it was contended that the pre sent increase to 20 per cent. ad valorem, will merely act as a fair impost upon an article consumed mainly by the wealthier classes. The other proceedings of the Depu ties have been of no general interest. The Duke of Palmella and Senhor Manuel Passos, both took occasion on Saturday to complain greatly of the unfair mode in which the Brazilian Government taxed Portuguese wines ; the duty being fifty per cent. ad valorem, and levied according to an arbitrary estimate, Portuguese wines being valued much higher than the others, so that, in fact, a pipe of wine from this country pays some 16 milreas (41.) more than a pipe of French or Spanish wine. Both the above senators declared that unless Brazil listened to reason in this respect, the Por tuguese Government ought to retaliate by discriminatory duties against Brazilian products. Senhor Passes said that the way in which the duties on wine were levied in England was much fairer than an ad valorem scale. A bill for above 50,0001. being an instalment on the amount due by Portugal on account of General Clinton's division, fell due on the Ist of this month, and having been sent out by Messrs. Rothschild to their correspond ent here, was duly taken up and paid at the Bank of Lis bon. The Government had made an arrangement for an advance of 280 contos, which the bank will be repaid out of the Customs revenues. Those only who know the ex cessive difficulties with which the Government here is struggling for want of money, can appreciate the sacri fice made by Senhor Avila to redeem its engagements. In the midst of intrigues and difficulties of every sort, the Government is endeavouring to bring round the finances of the country to a healthy state. The failure of the house of Corpas, Garcia, and Co., is a very serious affair. At the meeting on Tuesday last, the principal creditors refused the terms proposed by the firm, and their effects have all been sealed up, and the business delivered over to the Tribunal of Commerce, to be dealt with according to the bankrupt law. Mr. W. Payant and Mr. Roberts were appointed curators. The loss, divided among about a dozen of the English houses, is estimated at 60,000/. Among the chief creditors were Mr. Shannon, 45 contos ; Mr. San guinetti, 45 contos ; Mr. C. Payant, 35 contos ; Messrs. Graham, 30 contos ; Mr. W. Pay -ant, 25 contos ; Mr. Knowles and Mr. Appleton, above 20 contos each. Among the other creditors are Mr. Roberts, Mr. O'Keefe, Mr. M`Lagan, Mr. M`Andrew, and Messrs. Dobson. Mr. Sangninetti and Mr. Knowles have stopped payment. All these firms had taken Corpas and Co.'s bills, which they had discounted. Messrs. Graham and Mr. W. Payant took up their returned bills forthwith. Mr. C. Payant made an arrangement with the bank who had discounted his bills, by which he paid the bank 50 per cent., and gave up his claims on Corpas and Co., under the bills, to them. Mr. Shannon, the large amount of whose loss excited apprehension and general sympathy, has, I am happy to hear, arranged to pay 40 per cent. by instalments to the holders of the bills, and give up the bills as in the former case. Mr. Appleton, it is expected, will arrange to pay 50 per cent. and give up the bills. The other firms mentioned have all, I believe, paid their bills, and are going on as usual. There will be one ad vantage when the storm has blown over, viz., that the system of business here will, it is expected, be a good deal changed, and less credit given. A deputation of some of the cotton firms here waited on Lord Howard de Walden, in consequence of a postaria issued in reply to a requisition of Messrs. Graham and Co. to the Portuguese Government, against the pro ceedings of th e Dir ec t or o f t h e Customs, wo had thought fit to class an article of fustian or cotton drill under the head of linen drills " cutem," and to impose a duty of 200 reis per pound weight under that head, instead of the proper duty of 60 reis per pound weight, which it had previously paid, being classed with moleskins " tou peira," which pay 60 reis the pound weight. A piece of this fustian of forty yards weighs ten pounds, and the duty would therefore be two milreas, or near 9s. a piece, and as the article is not worth above sd. a yard, it would amount to above fifty per cent. ad valorem. The Go vernment had decided in favour, of the view taken by the Customs' people, but I have little doubt but that Lord Howard's remonstrances will induce them to alter their decision. There has been some alarm excited among our mer chants by a report that an order had been issued by the Board of Health at Lis bon,by which English vessels coming from Newfoundland:must have a Portuguese Consul's cer tificate,.or would be put into quarantine. I believe that some time back a Consul was appointed by this Govern ment for Newfoundl an d, which probably led to the o r d er bein g i ssue d ; but as the appointment was not confirmed, and as in fact there is no Portuguese Consul in New foundland, it is impossible to suppose that there can be any intention of putting the order, if really issued, into execution. One of the best and most respected noblemen in Por tugal, the Marquis de Sampaio, who held the high post of Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, died on Wednesday last, at the advanced age of 85, and was buried with the usual honours at the cemetery, at Alto de Joao, the w next da thy. It is exp ec t e d that the Marquis Saldanha ill be e news expected Chamberlain, which will not, how ever, necessarily interfere, with his proceeding to Ma drid. His departure is, however, said to be again post poned for another week. The Royal Tar steamer, with the London mail of the 25th ult., only arrived this morning, having met with very bad and tempestuous weather, which kept her back, but did h.r no damage. She goes on to Cadiz and Gibraltar this afternoon. e. if the duties amounted to 100 moidores, paid the impo r t er three moidores tnore ander this head.

OtW vitt MORNING SUN INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. FULLEST PARTICULARS. The following will be found to contain the most ample details relative to the revolt at Pampeluna ; the facts are brought from the time the movement broke out down to the latest period when news had been received, and are taken partly from the French papers and partly from other sources. The following extracts are from the Sen tinelle of Bayonne:— " At daybreak on the 2d inst. General O'Donnel ap peared at the quarters of La Merced, which was occu pied by the 2d battalion of the regiment of Eetreinadura, made it form into line, and led it to the citadel, where it found another battalion of the same regiment, and a detachment of cavalry ; with these forces he declared himself to be in revolt against the present Go vernment. As soon as the news of this reached General Ribeiro, he proceeded to visit all the bar racks, and took every measure circumstances required, and, assisted by the National Guard and the rest of the garrison, prepared to defeat the designs of the insur gents. Some Spaniards, whom we believe well informed, assure us that this act of O'Donnell's was certainly in concert with a party at Madrid, and that we might ex pect to hear of the insurrection breaking out at several towns. We are also informed that movements similar to that at Pampeluna have taken place at Bilboa and Vit toria. A report is circulated that an attempt at a rising was made at Tolosa, in the same night as that at Parn peluna ; that a commissary of the army and a brigadier endeavoured to seduce the troops, but succeeded only with a few of the soldiers. With this detachment the two leaders took up a post at about a league from Tolosa, on the road to Navarre, and here stopped the Pampeluna diligence on its way. Not finding the com munications they expected, they suffered it to pass on. General Alcala is at Tolosa with a bat talion.s He has trusted the keeping of St. Sebastian to the national militia. He has issued an order of the day, addressed to his troops, in which, after praising their valour and loyalty, makes them acquainted with what has taken place, and expresses his confidence that at their head he will be able to execute, however difficult, whatever may be necessary for the preservation of the Constitution, the young Queen, and the present Govern ment. A commercial traveller just arrived at Bayonne from Pampeluna, states that the National Guard was under arms and sent out patrols, but refused to do duty at the gates because this task belonged to the army, while theirs was to preserve the property of their fellow citizens. The diligence in which this person was travel ling was stopped on the road by an officer, who, after questioning the passengers as to what had occurred at Pampeluna, informed them that the movement was to extend to all parts of Spain, but the discovery of the plot had hastened its execution at Pampeluna. This officer had come from Tolosa, the garrison of which town he had failed in exciting. A report was current at Be hobia that some soldiers at Tudela had massacred their officers, and then went to Pampeluna." ORDER OF THE DAY AND PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL O'DONNELL. " THE CO3I3IANDER-GENERAL OF NAVARRE AND THE BASQUE PROVINCES. " Soldiers—The august Princess whose name was your guide for seven years to battle and victory; she who in her zeal for the welfare and prosperity of Spain, opened the doors of the country to exiled Spaniards ; the re storer of liberty to this unhappy nation ; she who pre ferred at Valencia an honourable exile rather than vio late the Constitution of 1837; the mother of your Queen, in fact, is about to return to you. In vain has an ungrate ful man, allied to what the revolution has produced of most impure, attempted to substitute himself for the illustrious Christina. That was impossible. You have been witnesses, during tp year, of his odious tyranny. Incapable of governinglibe nation, feeble in the presence of foreign Powers, ungriteful towards the army whose blood he did not spare In elevatin g himself, you have seen him, in th e m id s t o f o ff en d e d Spain, authorising the most despotic and immoral acts, whilst trampling upon the Constitution to which they had sworn, and gloryingin a brutal firmness, the revolution and its chief deprived a mother even of the consolatiOn of educating in the love of her people the daughters whom she loves with idolatry, and at Carthagena trampled the national flag under foot. The Spanish army is dying with hunger in return for its campaigns ; those worthy officers whose wounds had compelled them to retire from military ser vice, but who were expecting civil employment when the benevolent era of peace had arrived, have been set aside, their wounds have even been laughed at, and offices of every kind have fallen into the hands of a scum atro ciously notorious in street revolt, but utterly unknown in the camps during the seven years' war. Even the lives of the Queen and of the Infanta, her sister, are in peril ; yes, soldiers, the lives of these august children, which are our guarantee against the renewal of the pre tensions of Don Carlos. The august Queen -Mother, who, by the treason of an ambitious man, has been de prived for a time of her regency, returns to Spain to claim the sacred deposit which the country had confided to her by the organ of the Cortes. You will find by her side the generals who have so frequently led you to victory, and whose blood, mixed with yours, has flowed on the field of battle. For myself, I have no doubt of your fidelily. Soldiers ! you have been too long made the dupes of the ambition of one man. Hasten now to the post of honour assigned to you near the throne of a Queen. "LEOPOLD O'DONNELL. " Head-quarters of Pampeluna, Oct. 2." " Inhabitants of Navarre and the Basque Provinces!— When, at the expiration of the civil war, you embraced the Spanish army on the plains of Bergara, your lan guage was sincere, and the oath of fidelity which you swore to Queen Isabella 11. at that solemn moment, has been kept by you with your characteristic good faith. But do you remember, Basques and Navarrese, the day when you received the solemn word of the Chief of the armies, and that he promised to respect your fueros ' and that the peace which was th a t d a y we l come d by all should never be disturbed? Do you remember that it was then the illustrious Christina who governed the kingdom, and who, more than any person, was anxious to put an end to the struggle between Spaniard and Spaniard ? If so, cast your e judge over what remai n s f rom th a t memo rable day, and what is likely to occur if you, the army, and all Spain, do not awake from your sleep. The man who made to you so many promises whilst you were in aims, General Espartero, who gave you a hy pocritical embrace at Bergara, has deceived the mother of his Queen, compromised the Spanish nation, treacher ously laid hold of the Regency, virtually abolished your fueros, and will finish by the open destruction of them on the most frivolous pretext. Under his rule the most sacred laws of the State have been violated ; the august Princess, deprived of Isabella 11., has been compelled to seek refuge from revolution in a foreign land ; the religion of our fathers is already attecked with effrontery, and this false and traitorous man only waits for an opportunity to drive from the throne of their ancestors the innocent children who stand in the way of his ambition. Basques and Navarrese, Queen Maria Christina of Bourbon is about to return amongst you ; the majority of the nation and the army expect her with impatience, and certainly you will not be less eager. In Spain there can be no struggle between anarchy and the defence of the throne. We shall triumph —we shall triumph without the effusion of blood. Under the Government of a Queen who has given so many proofs of her affection to the Spanish people, your venerable fueros will be main tained to their full extent, and the respectable clergy, whose rightful possessions are being taken from them in a revolutionary manner, will be protected as they ought to be in a country which is eminently Catholic; the Ministers of the Lord will retain the dignity attached to the worship of the eternal God. If interests which ough t to be respected Should inflict any prejudice upon the purchasers of national property, the august Queen Regent and her Go ve-nment will come to an arrangement with the head of the Church as regards those interests, which shall in no manner injure the actual possessors. Basques and Na varrese, being charged in the name of her Majesty, and preparatory to her arrival with the command of your provinces, the inhabitants will find in me a firm defender of their rights, and a general well known never to have broken his word. Let the friends of the Queen rally round me ; let them throw themselves into the arms of that army which, more sincere than the man who com manded them at Bergara, heartily embraces them ; as for me I shall always regard as traitors all who act otherwise. " The Lieutenant-General 'Viceroy and Captain-Ge- neral ad interim of Navarre and the Basque Provinces. " LEOPOLD O'DONNELL, The Quotidienne says that it was between twelve and one at night when O'Donnell introduced himself into the citadel of Pampeluna. Some persons (this Journal adds) say that O'Donnell took 12,000,000 of francs (40,0000 with him, and not three only, as was stated. The following, from the Spanish frontier, is from the Memorial Bourdelais :—" We hear that Estella in Na varre, and Aspeitia in Guipuzcoa, have adopted the po litics of O'Donnell against Espartero. A Junta is to be established at Aspeitia to provide for the immediate ne cessities of existing circumstances. Both these towns have made themselves remarkable for their zealous demo tioneo Carli s t principles, and therefore it may be ques tioned whetheramovement, begun under pretence of main taining the . throne of Isabella 11. may not, in the end, be turned to the advantage of Don Carlos and his par tisans, and t h us, by deceiving the moderate party, besufbojraect neftarifea.ty supplant it and bring hack the civil war to the point at irs were spoken e w a hi te c u h r an itw the as more defectionsa n of s r vp g oa o a r,kr r a .nee,on"n saysno: ; T l b_ e wu hmt. i Ono se sti quiet. ea waiting T it:lt h gd e etl i o n nh ac f ep t a i ar o rnopfe, s had ad Been takenb.i the 4th some attributedfrontier still s h n shut up n a tp s o beinghuinsa,is only to be by similar attempts in other quarters. fi seconded for t e s somer measures sn re Govern ment,times preparing how beyondev however, the informed o f Pyrenees,wha th C a a t sti 1 3 1 re have timebeen the edefe troopsat t the projects, were ects, i and in A w r r e ago n believe and marched towards Navarre, whither they will be followed by the Regent in person." - WINDSOR, SUNDAY NIGHT. —Her Majesty, who until that time had been in th e en j oyment of her usual health, felt somewhat unwell last evening, and in the course of the night was so much indisposed that it was considered necessary to require the presence of both Dr. Locock and Sir 4. Clarke. They were, of course, im mediately in attendance, and the former has not left the Castle since. This morning her Majesty was much better; but although she had expressed an intention of remaining for a few daYS longer at Windsor, orders were issued for the Royal Household to prepare everything necessary for her Majesty's reception at Buckingham Palace to morrow (this day). Considerable bustle, as may be supposed, was occasioned by this sudden determination, but at a late hour this evening - the former orders have been countermanded. In ordinary times this would have excited no attention, but at a period when an event upon which the feelings of the nation are so deeply excited may be almost hourly expected, every move ment in the Castle is regarded with the utmost anxiety. ti Several of the Cabinet Ministers had interviews with Sir Robert Peel yesterday, at the official resi.- i Bence of the Right Iron.

On Saturday an inquest, which had been twice pre viously adjourned, was resumed before Mr. Eagles, Coroner for Bedford, at Ridg - mont House, the residence of Mr. Crouch, an opulent farmer of ilidgmont, near Ampthill, Bedfordshire, to investigate the circumstances connected with the death of Miss Mary Anne Crouch. aged 19, his niece, and daughter of Mr. William Crouch, of Chalfont. The deceased, together with the whole family, had been poisoned, and suspicion alighted on Ann Lee, the cook in the service of Mr. Crouch, who was about to leave her situation, and a male servant named George Peppot. Mr. Greene, solicitor, of Woburn, was in attendance on behalf of the family of Mr. Crouch; and Mr. Richards, solicitor, of Ampthill, on behalf of the prisoner Ann Lee. Peppot had no adviser. From the evidence read over by the Coroner, it ap pears the circumstances were as follow: On the morning of Saturday, the 25th ult., the cousin of deceased, a young lady, named Dover, who was on a visit to Mr. Crouch's family, at Bidgmont, prepared to make some cakes, as the deceased and other friends were expected on a visit the following day. The batter being prepared, Miss Dover required some yeast, but being unable to procure any, she desired the cook, Ann Lee, to let her have a little soda. The accused, Lee, said she had some ready for use in the spice -box, and handed it to Miss Dover, who mixed it with the batter. On the same day the family dined off rump-steaks, partridges, and sago-puddings, which were partaken of by the whole of them. Shortly after dinner the whole of the family were taken very ill, and vomited violently. On the fol lowine day (Sunday) the deceased, accompanied by a friend, Miss Ann Gazlee, arrived oa a visit from Chal font. They partook of wine, and ate a considerable quantity of the cakes which Miss Dover had made. Miss Gazlee, however, ate the most, and shortly after was seized with violent fits of vomiting, and brought great deal off her stomach. The deceased, however, was unable to du so, and, notwithstanding medical aid was called in, she died on the day following. A post mortem examination of the body was subsequently made, and the contents of the deceased's stomach subjected to chemical analysation ; and it was discovered that they were impregnated with a large quantity of arsenic. The remainder of the steaks were discovered to be impreg nated with the same deadly poison, which the medical men declared to be the cause of the deceased's death. Betsey Galon, the housemaid, deposed to having eaten a small quantity of the batter with which Miss Dover was making the cakes, and being . very ill for two or three days afterwards, but %% as unable to account for the cause of it. Mr. Roberts, a grocer of Ampthill, proved that the prisoner Peppot, a few days before the occurrence, had purchased a quantity of arsenic of him at his shop, say ing it was for his master, Mr. Crouch, to destroy rats with. He had since, however, ascertained that he had purchased it without the slightest knowledge of his master. The CORONER asked the accused parties if they wished to say anything in the matter ? They both declared their innocence, and Peppot stated that he dined on the remainder of the partridges after they came from the dining-room on the Saturday ; and Lee, the cook, said she ate some of the steaks, and neither of them felt any ill effects from having done so. They could not account for the soda and pepper being mixed with arsenic. Pep pot declared that he bought the arsenic of Mr. Roberts to kill rats, and nothing else; that he never put it in the cupboard where the spice or pepper was kept, and that it was all used for the purpose he stated. The CORONER sanim(l up at considerable length, ex pressive of regret that there was no distinct evidence to convict any party of having committed the horrible and inhuman crime which had led to the deceased's death. The Jury then retired, and, at a late hour, returned the following- verdict :—" That the deceased Miss Mary Anne Crouch, on the 27th of September last, (lied from the effects of poison, in eating a cake in which soda was used instead of yeast, which soda contained arsenic wil• fully and maliciously put into the same, by some person or persons unknown, for the purpose of destroying life." On the delivery of the verdict, Ann Lee exclaimed, " If she had done it, it was by. accident, and not wil-. fully and maliciously ; that was wrong." The prisoners were then told by the Coroner, as far as he was concerned they were released from custody. THE LATE STORM. The storm which raged here with so much severity in ,he beginning of the week, was felt with equal force along the east coast. At Berwick, on Tuesday night, a vessel from Bremen came ashore at the Magdalen Fields, and, melancholy to relate, all on board perished ; a few frag ments drifted ashore from the wreck, and which were found next morning, were all that remained to tell the tale. On the same night another vessel attempted to take the harbour, at no time a very easy undertak ing, and peculiarly dangerous in a rough sea, such as then raged along the coast ; in the boiling flood the helm lost its power, and she was driven ashore on Spittal Beach. The crew were got out in safety, and next morning the vessel herself was got off the beach, and brought up to the quay. On Thursday morning a small schooner trading between Hull and Glas gow, through the Union Canal, and which had encoun tered the gale of the previous day, attempted to take Berwick harbour, with four feet water in her hold ; after much difficulty she succeeded, the storm having ' somewhat abated of its violence. It is also reported that the Eclipse steamer, trading between Newcastle and Hull, was lost in the gale, but we have not been able to ascertain the particulars. The streams on the east coast were much flooded. The small rivulet, the Eye, which, taking its rise among the Lammermoors, fails into the sea at Eyemouth, had burst its banks on Thursday, and had made sad havoc amongst the tur nips and stocks in the fields on its sides. Some of these were standing amongst the water, and one field of tur nips, a little way above Ayton, was entirely immersed in the flood. The Esk, the Water of Leith, and the other streams in our own vicinity, were also much flooded. GLASGOW.—Since Monday the weather has been very ungenial ; throughout Wednesday rain fell in torrents, and yesterday was dull and showery. Fortunately little grain is out in this district, if we except the high lands in the precincts of Cumbernauld, where much oats, barley, and black victual, are still exposed. A single week of dry breezy weather would, however, take every thing from the field, to the stack-yard.—Herald. ROXBURGIISIIIRE.—Since Sunday last this district of the country has been visited by constant rain, accom panied by violent gusts of wind, which have proved very injurious to the crops still lying out. On Wednesday morning the Tweed and the Teviot rose to a great height, and the other tributaries of the Tweed, particularly the Eden, have swollen to such an extent, as to overflow the adjoining banks and fields.—Kelso Mail of Thursday. DuxDaE, OCT. B.—From Friday till Monday we had fair weather, with moonlight ; but on Monday night it began to rain. On Tuesday the rain continued, with the day exceedingly stormy—so much so, that the mail was an hour and a half later than usual, and the Edin burgh steamer did not venture to brave the boisterous surge ; in fact, it blew a perfect hurricane. Through out the night it cleared up ; but it rained again yester day, and it is to be feared that the late weather must prove detrimental to those crops still outstanding. LEEDS.—On Monday night the rain fell in such tor rents that the Bradford Beck overflowed its banks, and the lowest parts of the town were in consequence inun dated. The water, however, subslilel without doing any material damage. The barometer on Tuesday night sunk to the exceedingly low point of 28. 15-100ths. Heavy rain fell in the night, which caused the rivers to overflow their banks. In the south and west of England the weather has been extremely unfavourable during the last fortnight.—Leeds Mercury. KEITH.—GREAT FLOOD.—On Wednesday week, this neighbourhood was visited with a very heavy fall of rain, from which the crops have suffered severely. The rain fell in torrents, such as we are little accustomed to (ex cept, perhaps, occasionally for a few minutes during a thunder-storm in summer), and continued, without in termission, till nearly eleven. The Isla and her diffe rent tributaries became rapidly swollen, and by the time the rain began to abate, had assumed rather an alarming aspect—the I; hole baughs, from brae to brae, where the Burn of Haughs joins the Isla, being under water. The consequent destruction and loss of crop was great, the rise being so very sudden that it was in many cases impossible to save the crops within reach. At times, the water might have • been said to be covered with corn, giving active employment to the people along , the banks, who were intent on saving as much as possible from destruction. Here might be seen a couple of houacks;as they are called, going bodily down the stream, and nodding to each other as they passed— there a whole bevy of stooks leaving their quiet rest ; and, instead of to the stackprd, betaking themselves to the stream, where, after being tossed for a while on the troubled waters, they sought shelter in some turning of the stream, or went far beyond their owners' ken. Owing to the late unfavourable weather—which has prevented the crops from being housed, though nearly the whole are cut—there was much more at the mercy of the waters than we remember to have seen at once on any former year ; and several of the owners have suffered severely. But, great as the loss of crop is, we would be happy were this all. We regret, however, that we have to add the loss of life, in circumstances of a pecu liarly distressing character. The sufferers were a bro ther and sister of the name of Wilson, children of a small crofter in Cairney, the eldest being but about four teen years of age. It would appear that, having to pass over the Burn of Ardonald, they found i t much swollen, too much so, as the boy, the eldest of the two, must have thought, for his little sister to be able to wad e . Th e p oor fellow, th e refore, took her on his back and entered the water, but even he was not able to resist the increasing force of the stream ; and, rather than lose hold of his sister, strugeled till the current carried both d own , an d they perished together.—Aberdeen Herald. BRIGHTON, SUNDAY.— Another dreadful gale from the south came on here this morning. Some eighteen fishing -boats were out, but fortunately they arrived all safe in the course of the day. Such a con tinuation of hurricanes and rain has not been witnessed here for many years. THE STRIKE OF MASONS.—The 16 men who worked on Friday and Saturday, together with eight youths, went to work again yesterday morning ; but five men, who arrived from Newcastle on Thursday night, returned yesterday, having refused to go to work. They were -told that seventy of the men who had struck bad returned to work, which induced them to come to London. Two men who have been to work since the strike and left it, applied yesterday for their tools, but were refused them ; and they will, it is said, apply at once for a summons fur Allen to Appear before the Magistrate to show cause on what ground he refuses the application. The men seem determined not to return to work unless Allen is discharged. BUFFALO HUNT. Mobs. - Chardon " tossed the feather' (a: custem i always observed, to try the course of the wind), and we commenced "stripping," as it is termed (i. e. every man strips himself and his horse of every extraneous and unnecessary appendage of dress, &c., t might be an ineumbrance he running) ; hats are laid off, and coats—and bullet pouches ; sleeves are rolled up, a handkerchief tied lightly around the head, and another round the waist—cartridges are prepared and placed in the waistcoat pocket, or a half dozen bullets " throwed into the mouth," &c., &c.; all of which takes up some ten or fifteen minutes, and is not, in appearance or in effect, unlike a council of war. Oar leader lays the whole plan of the chase,eand prelimi naries all fixed, guns charged, and ramrods in our hands, we mount and start for the onset. The horses are all trained for this business, and seem to enter into it with as much enthusiasm, and with as restless a spirit as the riders themselves. * * We carefully and silently marched, until within some forty or fifty rods ; when the herd, discovering us, wheeled and laid their course in a m see. At this instant we started! (and all must start, for no one could check the fury of those steeds at that moment of excitement), and away all sailed, and over the prairie flew in a cloud of dust which was raised by their trampling hoofs. McKenzie was foremost in the throng, and sson dashed off amidst the dust and was out of sight—he was after the fattest and the faste:t. I had discovered a huge bull whose shoulders towered above the whole band, and I picked my way through the crowd to get alongside of him. I went not for meat," but for a trophy—l wanted his head and horns. I dashed along through the thundering mass, as they swept away over the plain, scarcely able to tell whether I was on a buffalo's back or my horse—hit and hooked, and jostled about, till at length I found myself alongside of my grane, when I gave him a shot, as I passed him. I saw guns flash in several dliections about me, but I head them not. * * I turned my eyes in the direction where the herd had gone, and our companions in pursui', and nothing could be seen of them, nor indication, except the cloud of dust which they left behind them. At a little distance on the right, however, I beheld my huge victim en deavouring to make as much headway as he possibly could, from this dangerous ground, upon three legs. I galloped off to him, and at my approach he wheeled around—and bristled up for battle ; he seemed to know perfectly welt that he could not escape from me, and resolved to meet his enemy and death as bravely as possible. I found that my shot had entered him a little too far forward, breaking one of his shoul ders, and lodging in his breast, and from hi s ver y grea t weight it was impossible for him to make much advance upon me. As I rode up within a few paces of him, he would bristle up with fury enough in his looks alone, almost to annihilate me ; and making one lunge at me, would fall upon his neck and nose, so that I found the sagacity of my horse alone enough to keep me out of reach of danger ; and I drew from my pocket my sketch-book, laid my gun across my lap, and commenced taking his likeness. He stood stiffened up, and swelling with awful vengeance, which was sublime for a picture, but which he could net vent upon me. I rode around him and sketched him in numerous attitudes, some times be would lie down, and I would then sketch him ; then throw my cap at him, and rousing him Oil his legs, rally a new expression, and sketch him again."—Catlin's America. The Siecle says :—" The examination in the Council of Ministers of the Budget of the Navy, to see whether it can be reduced, has led to a thorough schism in the Council. On one side are Messrs. Guizot, Duchatel, and Martin ; on the other are Marshal Soult, Admiral Duperre, M. Testy, and M. Canin Gridaine. The two parties stand aloof alike from M. Humana, who, they say, has spoiled everything by the unskilfulness of his financial combinations. The proposition of relieving the Budget of the Navy, which is of 125 millions, to the ex tent of 63 millions, was made by M. Guizot. The Mi nister of Finances having stated that, in order to esta blish an equilibrium between the receipts and the expen diture in 1843, a reduction of 90 millions must be made in the army and navy, Marshal Soult declared that he could not consent to retrench more than 25 millions on the budget of his department. M. Guizot then ob served, that England was governed by a Ministry friendly to France, that the Convention of July 13 removed all danger of a conflict in the Mediterranean, and that the fleet could be of no use in maintaining order in the in terior. He concluded, therefore, by proposing that the reductions should fall principally upon the navy. Ad miral Duperre threatened to withdraw if this proposition should be acted upon, and in this state the question re mained for some days. In the interval previous to the next Council a resolution was adopted to reduce the naval budget to the extent of only 36 millions ; but the Court being informed of the sensation produced by this proposed reduction, which had been communicated by the Minister of Marine to the heads of the service, in order that he might concert with them the mode of re duction ; and, it being found impossible to impose silence upon the remonstrances of the navy, and fly in the face of public opinion, while, at the same time, it was desirable not to have the air of giving way to the opposition, the Debats was desired to commence a dis cussion with the English press on the question of dis arming the fleet, and the Paris Correspondents of the London Journals were, at the same time, invited to say that the Kin g was personally opposed to disarmament." We give the above rather as a specimen of the off-hand way in which reasons are assigned for events, than as attaching much credit to the account. THE EDITORS STIIATAQEM.—We believe it is not true, as has been stated, that Mr. Hook was the editor of the John Bull from its commencement. He was, in conjunction with Mr. Croker, of the Admiralty, one of its earliest contributors, but it was not until some time afterwards that its sole management was intrusted to his care. He in some measure changed its character, greatly retrenching its personalities, and was more anxious to r ender it remarkable for quiet and inoffensive humour th an to sustain its reputation for keen satire and scanda lous stories. With all his circumspection, however, he was sometimes involved in awkward positions by the re sporrsibilities of editorship, by which he contrived to escape with his accustomed tact, often making the mode of his deliverance serve as an admirable jest. On one occasion a thin-skinned gentleman, who conceived his conduct had been commented on with too much freedom, called at the Bull office, and inquired for the editor. The publisher, guessing his errand from the fierceness of his demeanor, and the stout horsewhip he held in his ha nd, informed the choleric gentleman that the editor was not then at the office, but might probably be seen at twelve o'clock the next day. Punctually at the ap pointed hour, the gentleman, horsewhip in hand, arrived, arid was shown up stairs into an empty room. After waiting some minutes in anxious suspense, the door slowly opened, and a fine young fellow, of Herculean proportions, entered the room in his shirt sleeves. The L sourage of the visitor at once sank below zero at such a.O unexpected apparition, and he civilly inquired of the young giant before him if he was the editor? " Bedad, I a;n the edithur," was the reply in a strong Irish accent, "• as your service." " Impossible!" said the gentleman, t rembling in every limb as he saw the fellow coolly tuck t en leis shirt sleeves, display arms that would have felled in or without difficulty, and then spit in leis hands as he i.ilenchod them, and placed himself in a fighting attitude, "Impossible! you can't be the editor." But the reply wsts still the same, " Faith ! I am the edithur, at your sa rvice," the last word being delivered very significantly. The visitor, utterly panic-struck, retreated towards the do or as the " edithur" advanvd, then abandoned his ho rsewhip, and rushed precipitately out of the house, leaving Hook, who had been a witness to the scene, in a closet of the room, half suffocated with laughter at the ,sac iess of his stratagem. The Droit says, that the object of: the search at the office of the Journal du Peuple was the seizure of the reform petitions and other papers belonging to the form Committee. The subjoined particulars of the set Tell are from the France :—" At 5 yesterday morning a c ximinissary of police, accompanied by a number of assi sta.nts, entered the dwelling of M. Dupoty, responsible edit or of the Journal du Peuple. A warrant issued by Bar on Paiquier, dated the 6th, was shown to M. Dupoty, and 'siatifi.ed that he ivas celled upon . to answer certain incalpations'alleged against him. RS. Dupoty was ins rnedi ately taken to the offices and press of the journal. M. 1 tOulloche, the examining magistrate, accompanied by anotl ler Coininissirys of police, proceeded to a long and mints te . Search. 150,petitiens for electoral reform, and a g r ea t many PaMplilets, among which were several copies of their :al ofthe'Prance, the ‘Bio.raphie Militaire de Louis Phi :.t nee,' and the Speech of M7Ledru-Rollin, were seized. This. operation lasted till two in the afternoon. A search was afterwards made at the residence of M. Dupoty, and at ft nir the editor of the Journal du Peuple was commit ted to .the Conciergerie. Baron Pasquier came imam diet, tly ' wd put some summary questions to M. Dupoty. Two . otfrer editors of the Journal, who had been present thrc tigho'ut 'these proceedings, asked the Chancellor who ther RA. Dupoty might continue to sign the journal. Thee aniwer was dryly negative, because M. Dupoty was to bee r est into close confinement. In answer to an ob serviti on that the existence of the Journal would thereb y be endangered, Baron Pasquier said there were e such greater misfortunes than the arrest of a Jour nalist and the ruin of a journal ; but, at the same time affairs of commercedid not come within his province." The S. 'iecle; in its account of these proceedings, says : " The police agents, after having searched every place, seized 200 petitions for electoral reforin, and five or six pan sp:nle is oil reform which have never been incrimi nab '..l.'hey examined for a long time, and with great care,. a petition to the Chambers against the detached fort,, ieiv tees° were not :seized. M. Dupoty, we are info ru led, was arrested on an accusation of being impli cate d in Quenisset's attempt, although he affirmed that he nt Ner had any acquaintance with that assassin, and never belonged to any secret society." The Courtier Fran E..ais states that General Heymee, aide-de-camp to the I ring, carried to the' Queen Dowager of Spain the intell igeuce of the insurrection in her favour in Navarre.

[Mr. O'Leary is a na tive of our city, and nephew to our worthy townsman John O'Connell (Kerry-hall). We understand he owes his selection simply to the genuine ability and legal knowledge evinced in his published works, which at tracted the notice of his Lordship ; and we hail this early indication of patronage bestowed on merit alone, aloof from all party considerations,] —Southern Reporter. " A few days ago," says the Journal de Cher, "a warrant was issued against a young man belonging to a respectable family at Bourges, upon a charge of having threatened the lives of several members of his family. When the Commissary arrived to execute the warrant, the young man, who was in bed, refused to obey it, and some gendarmes were sent for, but on their arrival, the young man had barricaded himself in his room, and threatened to kill any person who should attempt to arrest him. To prevent bloodshed the gen darmes withdrew, but kept a watch on the house. Shortly afterwards, however, a crowd collected, and the young man presented himself at an open window, with a pistol in his hand, threatening to blow out the brains of the first person who should enter his room. The Com missary of Police, after having in vain exhorted the young man to surrender himself, quietly ordered the gendarmes to do their duty, and they accordingly broke open the doors and entered. The Commandant of the gendarmerie, who preceded his men, five in number, urged the infuriated youth to give himself up, promising that he should not be ill-treated, but, the latter, addressing one of the gendarmes, who had his musket pointed at him, said, I will not surrender— fire.' The gendarme said he would not fire first, upon which the young man discharged his fowling-piece, which was loaded with slugs and small shot. One of the slugs struck the Commandant on the hip, but without inflicting a serious wound, and another hit one of the gendarmes under the right eye. The gendarme who had first pointed his musket now fired it, and the ball struck the arm of the young man, and came out at his shoulder. It was at first thought that he was killed, and one of the gendarmes went up to him. At this moment, however, he drew out a pistol, and was about to fire, when he was disarmed and made prisoner. Three other loaded pistols was found upon him. The wounded gendarme was taken to the hospital, where the ball that he had received was extracted, and it was not expected that any thing serious would ensue. The wound of the young man is serious, but not mortal." The General Steam Navigation Com t any's packet, the Columbine, W. Norwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house at ten o'clock, A.M., on Sun day, with the Dutch mail. When the peopli of nearly all Europe were under Church and feudal rules, part belonged to the Church, part to the Noble Barons, and a very small part were then free, as the name " freemason" implies the only portion then possessing any useful knowledge. The freemasons of the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries were a most important class of working men, travelling with their master mason from country to country to build castles for the nobles, and cathedrals, and churches, and monasteries for the priests. This is an important point to bear in mind, for their knowledge only gave them their liberty—both priests and nc.bles wanted them, and neither party would consent that they should be long to the other : if any of them were taken by the Barons ,the Church claimed them, and if any of them were taken by the Church the Barons claimed them— hence came the associates, and diplomas, and lodges, and the secret words and signs by which they made known their title and right as freemasons. They paid no tithes or taxes whatever, and were supported by their lodges when on their travel, and this it is necessary to bear in mind to understand well the social organization of feu dalism.—Bread Eaters' Advocate. THE KIRK.—Sit William Rae has published a letter, in which he declares he never said that the Min ikry had a Bill for the settlement of the Church queE tion,lo, propose to Parliament. All he admits that he prOMised was, that this very difficult subject should be maturely and earnestly considered by the Government with which he is connected. NARROW ESCAPE OF AN lANDIMAN IN THE RIVER.—On Saturday morning, as the large ship Lon don, Capt. Shuttleworth, from Calcutta, with a general cargo, valued at upwards of 100,000/., was proceeding up the river for the London Docks, in tow of the Samson and Don steam tugs, she, by some mismanagement, was run stem on the ground a little above the Dolphin, near to the Lower Shadwell entrance of the Docks, and re mained fast. She was subsequently safely moored in the cast basin of the London Dock.

MAGNIFICENT COLUMN BSTWEEN ROSS AND WEXFORD.--General Browne Clayton, of Adling ton Hall, near Wigan, who commanded th e 12th Li g ht Dragoons, has erected this column to commemorate the conquest of Egypt, - under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby, 1.8. It st a nd s on the rock of Carrig-a- Dagon, adjoining the mail-coach road, and presents to the eye one of the most beautiful and classic ornaments of which Ireland can boast. It is a fac-simile of the celebrated Pompey's Pillar at Alexandria, in Egypt, which presented itself to the gallant army on the day the brave commander received his mortal wound.—Bol• ton Free Press. A war steamer has been just built and com pleted for sea at New York, for the Emperor of Russia. She is 2,468 tons burthen, and is called the Karnschitka ; on trial it was found that under steam only she made nine knots, and with the aid of some of her can vass, thirteen knots an hour; she has 600-horsepower, her spar deck is ‘ , 40 feet in length, on which she has two ten-inch, with two eight-inch hollow shot gun ? (Paixhan's) and ten 36-pounders; she is built wholly of American wood and metal, at a cost of 400,000 dollars. NAVAL STATIONS.—Tbere is a report that it is the intention of the Admiralty to replace the Admirals on the South American and Cape stations as they for merly were ; that is to say, that Admiral Thomas is to be stationed at Rio Janeiro, and Sir Edward King to have the Cape and African command as before. Lord John Hay is to go into the Pacific with a blue broad pennant in the Warspite. It has long been deemed proper and right that the West India command should be divided above all others, as it is far too large for any one flag officer, extending as it does over fifty degrees of latitude ! There ought to be a Commodore to super intend our South Australian colonies and New Zealand, &c., more particularly so as the French have a force in those seas.—Naval and Military Gazette. Two evenings ago, a man, by his seditious vo ciferations, collected a crowd round him in the rue Saint Martin, and led his auditors to the rue Vertbois and the rue Saint Appoline, continuing his senseless exclama tions, but without being able to excite any sympathy in his auditprs. At length a police-officer came up, and, without any opposition, seized the agitator, and took him before a Commissary. He proved to be an old offender, who had a sort of mania fur rendering himself notorious, and had before been in custody for similar proceedings. YOUNG MEN'S ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIA TION.—We are glad to hear of the increasing success of the above Association. To facilitate the enrolment of members in all parts of London, the Committee have determined to organ i se District Committees, a public meeting for which purpose will be held at King's-cross, next Friday evening, to be followed by others in West minster, Islington, Southwark, and elsewhere in the metropolis. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONE.-(FIOM a Corre• spondent.)—Sir R. Peel says he will join heartily in any scheme likely to effect the destruction of bribery and corruption at elections. Then let him adopt short Par liaments. Candidates will not bribe largely for every short tenure. The insurrection in Navarre will probably delay Prince Francisco de Paulo's visit to Madrid. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. The October Sessions commenced yesterday morning. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the Grant Jury, said there was no case in the calendar that required any par ticular observation from him. Charles Holliday, a young lad, of about 16 years old, was indicted for stealing three pigeons, value 7s. 6d., the property of William Stevens. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor and the father of the prisoner were neighbours and rival pigeon -fanciers, and the prosecutor charged the prisoner with having on several occasions decoyed his pigeons, and appropriated them to his own use. Mr. THOMAS, for _the defendant raised an objection that the pigeons were ferae nature, and could not be made the subject of an indictment for felony, but the Learned Chairman overruled the objection. The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty oF taking the pigeons, but not with a felonious intent," being vir tually a verdict of acquittal. There was another indictment against the prisoner, which was withdrawn on the understanding that he should abandon the keeping of pigeons for the future. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Wm. Biggs and Joseph Paybody were yesterday placed at the bar, charged before Mr. Hall, the Chief Magis trate, with having forged a number of checks upon the bank of Sir John Dean Paul, of the Strand, in the name of Mr. Robert Wynne Williams, the solicitor, of 3, Paper buildings, Temple. Both the prisoners had been in the employment of Mr. 'Williams, as copying clerks. Paybody had quitted his service in May last, and Briggs about six weeks ago. The former ap peared in the garb of a butcher, which business it appeared he was, when apprehended, follow in;, in Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road. Twelve checks, the total amount of which was 3001., bearing the forged signature of Mr. Williams, had been presented and paid between the month of May last and the pre sent time; but the check which had led to the detection of the prisoner Biggs, and the apprehension of Paybody, for 200/, presented on Saturday, was not paid, means having been taken, after the payment of the twelfth forged check, to discover the delinquent. Sir John Dean Paul stated that he was a banker in the Strand. On Saturday afternoon the prisoner Biggs presented a check for 2001, signed in the name of Mr. Williams. It was one of their ordinary printed checks, and it had been arranged between him (Sir John Dean Paul) and Mr. Williams, after the other forgeries had been detected, that the latter should for the future not use the printed checks, but draw upon plain paper; by which means it was anticipated, as had turned out, that the delinquent would, if he still pos sessed any of the printed forms, he discovered on his again making the attempt. On his presenting the check the prisoner was taken into Sir John's room at the back of the banking-house, upon which he said to him, " Now you are our prisoner for forgery." The prisoner replied, " How dare you detain me ? I have not done any thing wrong." He (Sir J. D. Paul) then said, "We shall take you to Bow-street, and send for Mr. Williams ;" upon which the prisoner continued, " You need not do that, for Mr. Williams is out of town." Sir J. added, " Why you convict yourself ; if Mr. Williams is out of town how could he write this check ?" The prisoner was then taken over to Bow-street. The check bore the date of Saturday, and Mr. liams, it appeared, had gone out of town on Thursday. Ballard, the ex-Bow-street officer, who had been em ployed by Sir John D. Paul to assist in the investigation of the case, produced a number of the forged checks, the forged signatures of which were proved to bear a strong resemblance to the autograph of Mr. Williams ; and several were marked " L. 13.," with which letters it ap peared that Mr. Williams was in the habit of marking checks written for office disbursements, and those letters signified " Law Business." Mr. Edmund Hinkon, the managing clerk of Mr. Williams, stated his conviction of the signature attached to the check presented on Saturday being a forgery, as Mr. Williams never post-dated his checks, which he must have done if that now produced were genuine. More over, Mr. Williams bad written on plain paper instead of printed checks, according to the arrangement with Sir John D. Paul. Mr. Long, of the firm of Staniland and Long, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner Paybody. The other prisoner was without a legal adviser, and did not say any thing in his de fence. The Magistrates remanded Biggs until this day week, and took bail for the appearance of Paybody, against whom he thought there was no case at present. Mr. Robinson was prepared with the bail, and said he should do all in his power to assist the prosecutors in their case against the really guilty party. THE MARKETS.-YESTERDAY.
