NIORN'ING \SITN 1,30 1 ,V ANT We have received Malta papers to the 15th inst., and_ advices from Constantinople to the 10th, Smyrna Otn, and Alexandria 6th. 1 The following naval intelligence is taken from the Malta Chronicle, 15th inst. : " The Indus ship of the line arrived from Syracuse this moTning, and the Acheron steamer from Con:3tan tinople (in five days), bringing Lord and Lady Ponsouby, family, and suite. The Iberia contract steamer from the lonian Islands and Patras arrived last night. On the lath inst., the Tunisian Government steamer Ben Ayed arrived with despatches for the Consul of that Government, and tcok her departure again on the same afternoon. She is supposed to have run foul of the Tuscan brig Santa Filomena, as this vessel at about o'clock at night, when 5 miles off the island of Gozo, wasnui into by a steamer steering north-east, which occasioned her considerable damage. The Scout sailed for the Le rant on the 14th inst., and it is rumoured that the Van. guard will be despatched next week V) the Smyrna sta• tion, where several French ships of \var have arrivei from Toulon: The Tyne leavr s for En giwid this even lag. The Vernon, .50, sailed from Cm-fu Lo Corfor th Southern Islands on the 20th ult. , an d returned t on the sth inst., she was still lying there on tit,' loth.- The Stromboli steam-frigate left our port this ruornit for the Lc ♦ ►nt." Extract of a letter from Corfu, 11th inst., in the it CI Tien.:: — The yachts Therese (Earl of Desert, Mr. Wells.. t Captain Kinderley, 97th Regiment), and Harri here firet ( Viscount Ranelagh and sisters), bave arrived Constantinople, and took pra . tiq ue on the 9th ineta The Vernon is in port, the Weazle is at Zante. -worthy Governor is quite well. His Excellency tal his ride every evening, and enjoys good health. re 4ed Regiment will emba rk for Ce p halonia on Saturd to. relieve the sth Regiment. The Naha Times, 15th inst., says : " The Lord Viscount and Lady Ponsonby arrii here this morning in the Acheron steamer. His Lot ship will perform quarantine at Malta. His Excellet Reschid leaclia, Ottoman Minister at the Court of T u ileries, h a ving relinquished his desig n of going Paris via Vienna, arrived hero this morning in the Fret steamer Leonidas, where he will perform quarantine_' The Constentinople news in the Oriental Observer as follows : " Lord Ponsonby had his audience of leave of,the a tan on the 2eth September, cud was received with { greatest possible distinction. The next day Abi Glianui Aga, chief Eunuch of the Valide Sultan ( Highness's mother), was sent to Therapia, with the p seats for Lady ronsonby, which consisted of a neciela . bracslcts, earrings, and a ceinture, all rich l y mount et pearls and brilliants whose value is stated to be l e purses, or ahout seven thousand pcunds sterling. bearer of this ep:endid present was re :carded by her dyship with e handsome snuff-box, and to his inter' C ter was given a sum of money. Presents were also sei it the same day, by an officer of the Sultan'e household, - ea the Baroness Stunner. lady of the Austrian Interne mei() ; nor will the enabassies of the other Allied Pow( es be forgotten. A magnificent snuff-box. is being pre pared for Titoff, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, and a piece of jewellery for his lady. Count Kcenigernark, , the Prussian Minister, will receive the portrait of the S a ltan mounted in brilliants, and his Countess a costly bra. it let. The Frank merchants on the 28th waited upot t the Grand Vizier, to complein of the abuses with respe the Kaimes, or Government paper money. Sou to ' of them spoke out boldly, declaring the evils of the sy, st em lately pursued for the benefit of certain individua s, to the detriment of the public. The Vizier assure( 1 the commercial body that the matter should be looked and en the strength of his promise al?eady has ; the discount of Kaimes declined fr-mi 8 per cent. to -4 to 5 per cent. We understand that the merchant ; in tend to follow up the affair, and we should n ot• be surprised to see the paper soon at a mere no venal discount. The Armenian dispute has become a seri ous affair. On the 29th the Patriarch was depose( !, and a dozen of the complaining parties were sent into exile. An order was then issued for the election by the l arme nians of a new Patriarch, and the two Bishops, el.sfa.- dour and Matteos, being named as eligible, the S (titan has been pleased to appoint the former, who on F e (day last received his investiture and appropriate decor a Lion at the Porte. A proclamation, addressed to the hen c.s of the Armenians, was at the same time sent, annum ii lag the cause of the punishment of the individuals e: c led, and enjoining submission to the commands of the Go - a e•n ment. The whole is an affair among the Arme ni ans themselves, who are divided into two parties, comi K eed of the rich class on one hand, and the middling cla on the other. The latter, nothing daunted, appear deterr. 2i ned to carry their point, and they have since twice pres ci ited petitions to the Sultan, who has directed the Supt.. ems Council to sift the affair thoroughly, and render et is tice to whom it is due. On the e9th also his Excel' le ncy Reschid Pacha had his audience of the Sultan. The same day his Ilighness gave audience to Said Pachr 5 and Sarni Peelle., who received their decorations of rat ti : on the occasion. On Friday they visited the Su' 31 irne Porte, to take leave of the Ministers, and on Satu e . eay, embarking on board the steamer Nile, set out on t heir return to Egypt, accompanied by Tefviq Bey, Firs t Se cretary of the Sultan, who is the bearer of a letter I rein his Highness addressed to Mehemet Ali Pacha, ex p res sing his great satisfaction at the reiterated proofs gi yen by his distinguished vassal of loyalty an d obedi .e. nee. hue tee .aes r.,...«....4:4.1...cepLe. of tla.c. ..zrn, of the 1 .?3 of - Egypt and his honone de ecm,fiance has, from ft ee be ginning to the end, been marked by attentions cif the most delicate nature, and it is to be hoped that the Pfacha will not fail to appreciate the favours heaped upon;:him. His very rhinoceros has been cared for, and is spier if idly lodged in an outhouse attached to the imp erial r a:lace. On Thursday the Sultan held a Rikkiab (levee), was attended by all the Ministers and high function ,a ries, entitled to admission to the presence. This was ( the double occasion of the removal of his Highness l;.0 his winter palace, and of the full moon preceding the fast of Ramazan. In the evening the mosques 'were all illuminated, on account of the latter et vent, which is observed as a Mussulman festival of solent pity. Count Kcenigsmark has his audience of the Sultry t to day, and on the Bth he will proceed homeward. via the Danube. On Saturday last it rained heavile- and an unfortunate accident happened at the Sweets -eters. A party of artillerymen were passing through the valley, when the bridge was sweet away by the tc C rent, and a Prussian engineer officer in the Turkish s arvice was drowned. All the functionaries of the Pore 1. have quitted their country residences, and are now it t town for the season. Yesterday the British steamer C erclops ' arrived here with the Emir Beshir, for whose acc• mimeo dation a most spacious residence had been pre;riously provided at Arnaoutkuoy. The aged Prince will, doubt less, receive all suitable attention here. It is e: eeeeted that the Cyclops, after renewing her supply of cc al, will return to Malta. One of the Smyrna papers state s that Mr. Bankhead would be presented to the Sultan be • Lord Ponsonby at his audience. This is incorrect, and. would have been contrary to etiquette. Mr. Bankhead v ill re main here as Minister, and consequently will be e ntitled to a separate audience after assuming his function: . Had he been merely a Charge d'Affaires, then his Ambassador would have been called upon to present him." A correspondent of the Malta Times writes front Con tantinople " The aff a i r o f th e E sna f s an d th e A mer i can "bankers ha • become serious. The Porte has exiled somo. of the former. The Porte had sent a Colonel llasmi t 3 Tripoli to arrange the affairs of that regency." The Malta Chronicle has the following from Constan tinople, Bth inst.:— e Early on the morning of the 6th inst., sevee-al rather severe sliocks of earthquakes were felt here (of rather unusual occurrence), and damage and lo ss o f fe attended with con s iderable killed,houses anhdavae great been thrown down an d several personsSaeverl number of houses much damaged, ock and a wall at S eras ki' s Palace thrown down.

Extract of a letter from Alexandria, Gth instant, in the Malta Chronicle : Most of the Consuls-General are about leaving for Cairo ; Colonel Barnett will take his departure tosmor rosy. It is thought that Mehemet Ali will proceed to tipper Egypt, in order to avoid unpalatable discussions on the subject of commercial affairs. The subjoined letter from Beyrout, 2d instant, is in the Mafia Times :-- "The Inconstant frigate left a week ago for Malta, having on board a younger brother of the present Chief of the Druses who is going to Eng land to p ursue his edu cat i on in one of the Universities. There also em barked 'a Jesuit, who has been kicking up a dust here.

Df rainy ......I6 minutes after 0 Evening-- 36 minutes after O. laws is therefore quite natural, and the pamphlet of the Rev. Mr. NEvILE is valuable because it proves that they also embody it into their rea soning, and while they write about society at large, they think only of themselves and their class. We have copied from the Globe some account of the person who is implicated in the issue of false Exchequer Bills; and we regret to perceive in the tone of our Contemporary's remarks an inclination to extenuate Mr. SMITH'S crime, be cause he was not well enough paid. That gen tleman had a handsome income of 6001. a year, and the Globe tenderly describes him as having " had recourse to forgery as an expedient," be cause his hopes of obtaining 7001. had not been realized. The Globe takes arms with our oppo nents, and by implication condemns that eco nomy in employing the public money, which seems to us both honest and essential to the national safety. Far from extenuating the crime of a person with 6001. a year, we think that there are at present no worse criminals than those who, hav ing an income more than sufficient for all the wants of life, commit offences against the right of property which would not be excused in a starving hand-loom weaver. No extenuation is admitted for those who plead hunger and ex treme poverty; and neither can it be admitted for him whZ) is exempted from both. The only excuse we can imagine is, the example of the law-makers, who, being intrusted, like Mr. SMITH, to issue bills on the people, di make laws/ for the public service, issue them for thciNprivate emolument, and are honoured, not punished, in proportion as they accumulate wealth. Our Contemporary has also found a new mea sure for integrity, which extends and dimi nishes with the funds with which a man is intrusted. A porter, with 30s. a-week, who makes away with the property intrusted to his. use, may plead, like Mr. SMITH'S advo cate, that his "payment was not proportionate to the extent of the integrity required." Such a plea will be of no avail at the Old Bailey, either for the porter or Mr. SMITH, whatever may be its effects on the readers of newspapers. Till this brilliant discovery, integrity appeared to us a part of the soul, indivisible and inex pandible—as much requir ed when a man is in trusted with a shilling as with . a million sterling. Henceforth integrity will expand with the amount of money, and the humble classes will experience the additional mortification of being just as much below the rich in virtue as they are in wealth. Wonders will never cease. On Tuesday DANIE L O'CONNELL was made a RIGHT HONOURABLE Privy Councillor, and elected Lord Mayor of Dublin! We guess that the darling project of Repeal has got rather into a cleft stick. With the left hand the Liberator will advocate the Repeal of the Union—while with the right hand the Lord Mayor of Dublin will assert the dignity of the laws, and maintain the integrity of the empire! Here is a pretty kettle of fish tbr the LORD LIEUTE NANT'S dinner! Well, the spirit of contradic tion has at length found a resting place in the patriotic consistency of O'CONNELL, whose extraordinary public career has been one con tinued breach of precedent—the first lawyer in Ireland, the oLly one to set all Tory rules at defiance! Verily, none but himself can be his parallel. The following letter from Mr. M'LEon, dated from the prison at Utica, was unintentiou ally omitted in our Edition of yesterday. Its publication will serve to dispel the calumnies of the New York Sympathisers relative to the alleged boasting about the de struction of the Caroline. As our previous im pression of his character was derived from them, it is gratifying to us to have it in our power to submit the following corrective to our readers : " am now in another act of this interminable M‘Leod case.' When the curtain will drop, and the last scene of the farce be played, I. cannot say. You will have seen the whole of the proceedings in the papers, and are doubtless sick of hearing of the affair from day to day, so'l need not trouble you with the de tails. I may say briefly, that when the Judges decided against the application I made, I at once decided on having a trial as early as possible, to get out of this dreary confinement. My counsel were and are appre hensive of the result—they think I may be convicted. I don't think it is probable, although such an event is within the bounds of probability. The Patriots will bring as much perjury to bear as they can, and doubt less they can procure any amount to order, to suit, on the frontier. If I had moved for a writ of error to bring the case into the Supreme Courts, it would have had to go into the Supreme Court of the United States, and then I should have had to await a deci s ion until July next. My health has suffered much from the close con finement ; such procrastination would kill me ; and it is such a lingering death that it is irritating and annoying. " I was urged by friends and fellow-countrymen in New York to draw up a narrative of the M`Leod case,' as it had excited so much attention, and was so very im perfectly understood •by all parties, and publish it, as it would exonerate my character from the foul stigma that had been affixed to it by the witnesses, the press, and by the President, through Daniel Webster's letter to Mr. Fox, of the 24th of April, 1841—viz., that I had, on the American frontier, bragged of having been at the de struction of their pirate-boat. I need not say to you, the vile calumny is an infamous lie.' You know me too well to have ever given the slightest credence to such a report ; but millions believe it, because it has never, I suppose, been satisfactorily contradicted. The fact is, I was arrested on the 24th of September, 1840, at Man chester, at or about noonday. In less than five minutes there were at least 100 people congregated around me. I mildly denied having any hand in the destruc tion of their boat ; but when before the Magistrate, in the midst of a crowd, and bantered and taunted with cowar lice in denying the part they said I acted in the of air, I said, ' I was not there; had I been, I should not deny it. I considered the destruction of that boat a laudable and praiseworthy action, and I will not lay claim to an honour to which .1 have no title.' I have ever head the same language. On the 12th of November I was again arrested, at mid-day, in that rascally den of iniquity, Lewiston, and immediately a crowd was col lected around me. If I had ever made such a boast to their country, it was susceptible of proof. No proof of such a boast has yet been given. One or two pqjured villains swore they heard me in Chippewa boast of hav ing been at the destruction of the boat; even they swear they never mentioned such a story till after they heard of my arrest. . _ " You have not seen all the stories they have got up against me, to prejudice the world against me. I have been held up as one of the greatest scoundrels that draws the breath of life. The whole Press has been arrayed against me, with very few honourable exceptions; their members of Congress and Assembly of this State have abused me in all manner of ways; and yet they keep saying I shall have a fair trial !' " We have read with alternate feelings of in dignation and disgust the explanations which MARIA CHRISTINA MUNOZ, ex-Regent of Spain, wife of Life-guardsman MuNoz, and very dear confederate of LOUIS PHILIPPE, has deigned to give to the demand of the Spanish Ambassador, as to her participation in the rebellion in Spain, and particularly in the attack on the Royal Palace. The malicious and malignant effusion, in which CHRISTINA states that she " did Hot ad • vise the unhappy events"which now afflict Spain, is concocted with an evident design to fan the embers of rebellion ; to make known to all the disaffected in Spain how cordially the Ex-RE GENT sympathises with them; and, above all, to represent the present Government of Spain as one against which it is highly meritorious, on the part of all Spaniards and Catholics, to take up arms. Her sympathies are not confined to her self. She has a tear for the POPE and the priests, whom she despoiled of their property when Regent of the Kingdom, and for the Basque fueros, which she declared abolished when she promulgated the Constitution. Senor OLOZAGA, by his dignified firmness, has succeeded in severing all connection between Spain and CHRISTINA MUNOZ. He has unmasked the treasons concoct in Paris. He has compelled CHRISTINA Mu -oz to declare herself—to stand lie ( j of ziipt, f ded with the confessed in tam filled hgthwe Palace of her infantith the ruffians who, at daughter with bloodshed, pertbrated the walls of her bed-room with murderous bullets, and which, but for the presence of mind of the guardian of the Royal children, would either have destroyed them or rendered them, by terror, drivelling idiots for life. After vomiting forth the grossest and foulest calumnies against the Established and Constitutional Government of Spain, CHRISTINA MuNoz thus proceeds indirectly to avow Ler deep participation in the crimes of the insur gents:— After having plunged her in misfortune the Revo lutionists are striving to extort from her lips an in iquitous condemnation of those who, in resisting the most odious tyranny, have confidently invoked her august name. In their blind delirium they aspire to nothing less than to obtain from her Ma jesty the sanction of all the acts and all the scan dals of the Government of Madrid, which rekindled in Spain extinct discords, and they wish, moreover, that her Majesty should lay the responsibility of this new confla gration to the noble defenders of the laws indignantly out raged. Their frenzy prompts them to call on her Ma jesty to avow herself indirectly the accomplice of those who have the shameful impudence of calumniating, by charging them with regicidal projects, the men who have courageously taken arms to deliver august and helpless orphaxs from the hardest bondage. We require no further confirmation of the guilt of CHRISTINA MUNOZ. What she with holds, the documents found upon the person of the unfortunate Don DIEGO LEON have already made known to the Spanish Government. LOUIS PHILIPPE must now either command her to quit the French capital, or confirm Spain in the well-founded belief, that he conspired with her to overthrow the Government of ESPARTERO. There is no middle course now left for him. In repelling the calumnies of the Ex-Regent, the Spanish Government is no longer bound by any scruples of delicacy from withholding any part •of the charges, which it can substantiate against CHRISTINA Muxoz. She has forfeited every title to the respect due to her as mother of the Sovereign. She abandoned the guar ( diansho of 1i r children for the embraces of a menial; iha •nstead of being grateful to the I) brave ^riots o winked at her infid e lity while 'MildTug t eir blood in the d e f ence _of the throne of 1 er daughter, She only thought of how she could most effixtually pour all the wealth of the country into her own coffers. Whip the brave soldiery were fighting knee deep in snow, without shirts, shoes, food, or shelter to keep her and her daughter upon the throne, she was hoarding and investing mil lions of money in foreign securities for the future enrichment of her paramour. Not a real would she invest in the Spanish loans to provide rations fur the brave army fighting in defence of ISABELLA and liberty. To CIIRISTINO Munoz, therefore, Spain could never owe gratitude. To her, as a professed sym pathiser with the insurgents in the Northern Provinces, Spaniards owe hatred, and, could it reach her, punishment. ESPARTERO has proved himself equal to the defence of the national honour and interest, and we trust that on this occasion he will not fail to vindicate the high claims of his Government to the loyal support and devotion of the Spanish people. The whole of the French Journals of Monday have been received. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatches : " BAYONNE, OCT. 23. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " The Regent left Madrid on the evening of the 19th. He was at Briviesca on the 22d, and was expected the same day at Vittoria. The National Guard remains alone at Madrid, which is tranquil. There has been no other execution than that of Leon. The other persons arrested have not yet been tried." " TOULON, OCT. 23. " GENERAL BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The garrison of Algiers has successfully accom plished its second re-victualling of Milianah. It beat the enemy at Cbaabel Gotta. According to the con fession of the Arabs themselves, they bad more than 200 killed, and a great number wounded. We have lost but one officer and two soldiers, and have had 30 wounded." The Hare des Pyrenees, of the 22d, states that a num ber of generals, of officers, soldiers, and peasants, who have shared in O'Donnell's insurrection, took refuge in the French territory, on the night of the 21st, to the number of 300. On the same day 200 men, commanded by Colonel Izquierdo, Aide. de-Camp of General O'Don nell, entered France by the Alludes, and General O'Don nell himself; with 600 men, entered at Sare, for which place the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne started immediately. It has been discovered that some rogues, none of whom are detected, have, by means of a chemical process, re duced the value of gold coins to such an extent, that a Napoleon of 20 francs, on being weighed, was found to have lost 5 francs worth of its original metal. The Seine has risen considerably during the last week or ten days. The water is now on a level with the edges of the wharfs, and large boats are unable to pass under some of the bridges. The river is exceedingly muddy. One of the two French workmen, who were arrested in Belgium on suspicion of being accomplices of Quenis set in his attempt on the Royal Dukes, has been delivered up to the French authorities, as we have had occasion to state, and has since been conveyed to Paris. His name is Grandrieux. The other, named Gigot, has been expelled from Belgium, and, as the Independent of Brus sels states, has gone to London. On Saturday afternoon, an old invalid rushed out of the house, No. 36, Rue de Courcelles, next to the hotel of the Queen Maria Christina, with a drawn knife in his hand, exclaiming, " It is I! it is I who have killed her!" and, before any one could seize him, plunged the knife twice into his own breast and fell dead. It was found that he had murdered the wife of the porter, a young woman, who had only lately lain in of her first child. Her husband had left her but a few minutes before. The cause of this horrible tragedy has not been ascertained. The Leipsic Gazette has a letter from Alexandria, of the 27th ult., stating that an English officer had passed through that place with 4,000,000 of Spanish piastres, part of the ransom of Canton. We have seen nothing to confirm this in our last advices from Egypt, which are of the same date. A letter from Tabriz, of August 15th, in the Franc urter Journal, says :—" The Persians are looking with impatience for the arrival of the English Ambassador. A discussion has been held between the Russian Am bassador and the Schah's Prime Minister. His Excel lency has imperiously demanded the payment of sums due to his Government, adding, that he had received instructions to facilitate an arrangement of the differ ences between Persia and England, but that the manner in which this had been • effected would not receive the assent of the Czar. The scarcity produced by drought has been so great that the inhabitants have been obliged to sell their children to procure bread, and the Mussul mans have purchased them, although they are born Christians. The Russian Government has sent orders to its Consul to redeem these poor creatures, and 200 of them have been already set at liberty. They will probably be sent into Russia. The Shah has brought six regiments from the province of Adjerbidjab. He in tended to undertake an expedition against Asterabad, but was forced to relinquish it from want of money." The Genoa Steam-boat Company has, it is said, suc ceeded in raising the Pollux, sunk in the Canal of Piom bino. An inventory of everything found in her has been taken, and the Russian Princess, who was one of the passengers, will be rejoiced at learning that her casket of jewels, which is among the articles, is all safe. A cannon, cast in the foundry of M. Poucet, at Liege, made after a model from the old French naval, guns, measuring 8 feet in length, and weighing 2,486 English pounds, was lately proved with 61 discharges, increasing gradually from a rather lc w up to a very high charge. At the sixty-first firing the gun burst. The result was highly satisfactory, as, previous to it, no cast-iron can non at Liege has ever sustained more than 59 discharges without bursting. The grain of the metal was found to be very fine and close. The Boulogne papers state that the American mer chant brig, Sparkles, of New York, Capt. Beale, with a cargo of wine and dye- Wood - from Cuba to Hamburgh, was driven ashore at Eta.ples on the 14th instant. The crew were all saved and the cargo landed. An English brig, in ballast, the Rosell of Aberdeen, Captain Reid, was driven ashore on the 18th, between Ambleteuse and Cape Gris-nez. All the drew was saved, and the vessel was expected to be got of :oat. Numerous bales of cot ton, which were thrown ov erboar dfrom the Marechal de Villars steamer, from Havre to Dunkirk, during a gale, have been picked up off Boulogne. A French sloop from Treport was driven on a bank at the entrance of the harbour, on the 21st inst., and but for the timely aid of the life-boat all the crew would have perished. The James Watt stem ner arrived: a few days ago, at Havre from London, after having been three several times driven back by the, weather into Ramsgate har bour. The steersman was knocked down by a violent sea breaking over him, a hereby his back was broken, and he died while being c: trried ashore at Havre. The ship did not sustain the slightest damage, and the above was the only accident during her tremendous passage. The Captain states that Ramsgate harbour is full of vessels which have put in there in distress, and that there are twenty mariners in the hospital who have been injured during the gales. The St. Male papers state that the oyster-dredgers on that coast have taken 4,0 30,000 oysters from the bank of Mark, but that thci English fishermen have not failed in taking their share, as several of their boats were still on the bank on the night of the 13th inst. A Council of Ministers was held on Saturday at St. Cloud, immediately after which couriers were sent off by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to London, Vienna, and Madrid. A Royal Ordonnance ha. been issued granting to the Minister of Finance an extraordinary credit of 10,000 f. to meet some urgent expemies of the Court of Peers. The Berlin papers mention, as a circumstance which caused some sensation in that capital, that a Captain in the Prussian army, of the Jewish persuasion, who is the only Captain in thej s e rv ic e of th a t re li g i on , h as j ust re ceived the decorationZof the Red Eagle, 4th class. The son of Paganini is now at Rome, endeavouring to procure a revision by the Pope of the judgment in virtue of which the Sardinian Government has hitherto refused to authorise the inhumation of his father, accord ing to the rites of the Church. The Toulonnais of the 21st says—" Orders have just been again given to the vessels which compose the divi sion of Admiral Casy, to be in readiness to put to sea This morning, at eight o'clock, the Ad m iral hoisted his flag on board the Suffcrgn ; and in all probability that veisel, with the Marengo, the Jupiter, and the Scorpion, will sail from Brest to-morrow. " The two ships of the line, Jena and Neptune, which were probably intended to make part of the division, will short join Admiral Casy at Brest. The reason of this delay, is doubtless the absence of the Neptune, which was to leave Tunis for this port on the 13th, and for which the Jena will wait here."—Moniteur, Oct. 25. ST. BRIENC, OCT. 20.—A letter from the coast to the Francais de l' Orient (published here) says :—" Our fishermen have already taken above four millions of oysters on the bank of St. Marc, though the fishery has not been very active : but it seems that the English are still resolved to have their share in it, for on the night of the 13th English boats wore seen still fishing there. These pirates must be very audacious to come and dredge on a bank which they know is guarded by three armed vessels.j— Commerce. BOURSE—Pants, MONDAY, OCT. 25. lint High e st Lowest Last Price Price.

According to the old adage " it is an ill wind that blows nobody good," and hence we find that as Exche quer Bills, until the extent of Mr. Smith's fraudulent issues is ascertained, are not likely to be in favour with the public, Consols and the heavy Stocks must be had recourse to, in order to invest surplus capital. This has already occasioned some improvement in the latter. Consols were quoted 88 to 881 fin- Money, and 88k to 83 for Account. Exchequer Bills fell to 9s. and II s. premium, for the 1,0001. Bills, in which only a few bar gains were transacted. India Bonds were at ls. discount to 2s. premium. The New Three-and-a. Half per Cents. realised 978 to 98i ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities, 868 to 87k. India Stock was dull at 243. The Market for Foreign Securities continued very in animate. Spanish Active Bonds were depressed at 208 to 8 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were heavy at 29k to 29i,- the Old Bonds at 491 ; Mexican at 23,1 to 24 and Colombian at 18'k to 1 4-. Brazilian rose to 57 and 58, and Dutch New Five per Cents. to 968 and 97. Some of the .Shars rallied a little, but others were weaker. Great Western improved to 114 and 12 prem. Birmingham receded to 66 and 661 prem. Brighton, afxr touching 118 fell to 134 discount, and South Wes tern ranged from 13k to 128 prem. North Midland Shares were 35. and Blackwell IG4 dis. In Banking Shares no business. (From 77w Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 26.—The de mand to-day has been very limited; not more than 2,500 bales have been sold. Prices have undergone no altera tion. The attendance of the trade has been very thin, and in export and speculation no business has been done whatever. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, OCT. 26.—Very little doing. Grand Junction, 185; London and Birmingham Quarter Shares, 21 ; Ditto 321. Shares, 514 ; Midland Counties, 84 . There are no later arrivals to day from any quarter. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 26. Our market to-day has been very fiat, and business limited. The sales have been confined to Manchester and Leeds, Quarter Shares, 24, and Bank of Manchester, si. The principal attention of all parties in the City is still drawn to the Exchequer Bill affair. The bills are nominally quoted at 10s. 125., but no business doing. Consols have advanced nearly + per cent. ; they are now quoted at 87i- for Money, and 88i for the Account, the Market looking very firm. The Spanish Securities came higher from Paris this morning, in consequence of which the Active Stock has advanced to 20;-4 ; Deferred is 10* -a ; Passive .0 5 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 29 : 1- a; Ditto Threes, 171,18. The English Siock Market continues firm. The-fol lowing are the variations during the morning :—Consols for Money, 88i s 7 }, and for the Account 88 i; Three per Cents. Reduced 86/ ; Three-and-a-Half do. 961 ; ; India Stock, 243 ; India Bonds, 2 prem., 1 dis.; Exchequer Bills are quoted at 9s. prem. Spanish Active Stock is not quite so good, the quota tion is now 203-1 ; Passive, 44; Dutch Twoand-a-Hall per Cents., ; ditto Five per Cents., 99i 4; Portu guese Five per Cents., 291; Mexican Bonds have ad vanced to 24i ; and Brazilian Bonds to 57. In the Share Market there has been a fair business doing, particularly in Great Western Shares which have advanced to 57. The Exchequer Bill fraud still engages almost un divided attention. The apprehension of one of the clerks in a Government office, and also of the party in the City who acted as his partner in the nefarious scheme, sets all further speculation at rest. A Morning Contemporary as usual takes occasion to have a fling at the late Ministry on account of this affair, but every one knows that all Chancellors of the Exchequer have allowed the appointed confidential parties in the Treasury to sign the bills for them, and that Lord Mounteagle did not commence the system, which, how ever, it is acknowledged must now be amended. The more the evidence produced at M'Leod's trial is considered, the more disgust is felt at the baseness and utter worthlessness of it, in opposition to an individual's life. Border outrages during the winter many mode rate and right-thinking Americans apprehend, despite all precautions of the two Governments. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

EFFECTS OF A SUCCESSFUL LAW-SUIT. — Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, held an inquest on Tuesday morning at the Fox, Castle-street, Southwark bridge-road, on the body of Mr. H. Frankhum, hatter, aged thirty-one. Mr. G. Almond said deceased was his brother-in-law, a hat manufacturer, of Nos. 9 and 10, Castle-lane Witness saw deceased last alive, together with his wife, at their residence on Saturday evening last, and before they parted, a slight altercation took place between deceased and witness. Next morning, about two o'clock, witness, who lived next door, was alarmed by hearing his sister, Mrs. Frankhum, scream ing, and crying out that her husband had hanged himself in the factory. Witness instantly proceeded thither, and there, on the floor, he saw deceased lying dead, and over him, fastened to a beam, a piece of rope, from which deceased's wife had just extricated him. Mrs. Frankhum was induced,to enter the factory, in consequence of de ceased having delayed . going to bed. By the Coroner— Deceased had had a law-suit lately, but though he gained it, the expense entailed was so great, that he derived no advantage from his success. His circumstances were much embarrassed, and his conduct, which latterly had been very strange, witness attributed to losses in busi ness, and the expense attendant on the law-suit. Mr. Heyton, a solicitor, who called on Friday last on de ceased, to examine his accounts, and try and arrange with his creditors, found deceased at intervals so melan choly, that he considered him ef uusotuid mind, YQr diet—Temporary insanity. ) ' A' 4 4 4 1 u A/4 t 4 .• t 5 , 1! * 3 ;l „, .... ' Etg LONDON: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1841. W.e took up a pamphlet, recently published by It: IDGWAY, entitled, " The Sliding Scale, or a Fi 1c.2.d Duty," by the Rev. CHRISTOPHER NF, VILE, expecting and hoping to see the Chris tian ...spirit predominate in a work written by a mini s ter of the Church. We remembered how muc - hi has been said about the clergy having lent their, aid to support an enactment which swells their income, at the expense of the health, mora lity, a ad lives of the people. We know, from the mee; d ngs at Norwich and other places, how un pop! dar they have made themselves by their prac e.cal disregard of the principles which they incu 4 l,7.at! on othero, and we expected, at least, to find i n the Reverend Gentleman's pamphlet sonic atte! r pt to explain or justify the conduct of the eler br. We have been much disappointed. The: pamp Idet is confined exclusively to a narrow pounils, shillings, and pence view of the Corn law, and never by any chance diverges into the .:high moral and universal considerations whici I are connected with the abolition of that suici C:al restriction on the trade, civilization, and well•=,being of mankind. T; 2.e objects of the Rev. Mr. NEVILE'S pam phlet are to show, first, that, for nearly 200 years, the landowners, in whose hands the legisla • tive power has been placed, have acted on the principle of impeding the importation of clam, and of levying, as at present, a tax oil the p - 2ople's provisions to fill their own pockets. Two hundred years' prescription hallows this system to the mind of the Rev. Gentleman, and converts wrong into right. He deprecates a change to free trade in corn, not because it would be a departure from justice, not because it would inflict a serious injury on the toiling milli ons, but because "it would seriously affect an enormous amount of capital" "invested in the soil unde r the system of protecting duties." Becaus , .: the landowners have plundered us for 200 years and :more, they are to be allowed, according to the I reverend Gentleman, to plunder us for ever. Such is the morality taught by the Reverend CHRISTOPHER NEVILE. Secondly, the Reverend Gentleman criticises the contradictory arguments of some Anti-Corn law writers and speakers, and goes at consider able length into prices, rent, cultivated and uu culti'vatedland, &c. &c., with a view of showing that - those who propose the repeal are as ignorant what will be its effects as those who made the law - thirteen years ago were of its wesent conse_ quences. The Reverend Gentleman proves, at least, that l►e knows no more than othrs, for he supposes that " a reduction of rent of '2O per cent. would actually stop the cir culation of no less a sum than 9,400,0001." He impties, therefore, that the extortion of the landlords creates a sum of wealth equal to their increased rent. But they only extort, they do not create wealth; and the sum which the aboli tion of the Corn-law would keep from the land lords would be circulated by the body of the consaimers. It is an idle dream to suppose that the abolition of the Corn-laws would lessen the national resources; and if it increased them, as we believe it would, there would be more, not less, circulation than at present ? The Rev. Gentleman, in the third place, de fends the sliding scale as better than a fixed duty. We will allow him, undisturbed, to con tinue that contest with the advocates of a fixed duty. We must, however, mention that he pro poses a modification of the sliding scale, and another system of taking the averages. " When wheat was at 705.," he says, " foreign wheat was to be admitted duty free; when it was 695. the duty to be ls., and so on increasing a shilling as our prices decreased to 515., and there to stop. The duty would then be 205., at which duty wheat would be imported under any depression of price at home." The averages, the Reverend Gentleman pro poses, should be made up by returns taken from the grower, and the buyer from the grower, only. The same sample of wheat could never be returned twice over, and these two parties would be a mutual check on each other." With such details, with the bearing of poor -rates and the value of tithes, the Rev. Gentleman appears to be intimately acquainted; but his pamphlet does not contain one word of the influence of that law he discusses on the welfare of the mil lions. He seems ignorant that both sliding scale and fixed duty are as murderous as war or pesti lence. He looks at the subject only as it may affect the wealth of a few thousand land and tithe owners, and the rest of the community is as much forgotten as if these few thousands con stituted the whole of society. The pamphlet is nevertheless valuable, not for its statistics, for they appear to be erroneous— not for its political economy, for that is shallow and preposterous—not for its recommendations, for they are consistent neither with the stern principles of justice, nor the expediency of com promise; but for the insight it indirectly affords us, at this critical and agitating tune, into the mind of the ruling classes. It is there plainly and legibly printed, from beginning to end, in every page, in every paragraph, in every sentence, that all they think of; all they care for, in matters of legislation, all they have thought or cared for during the last '2OO years, has been how to enrich the aristocracy, and how to maintain the wealth of the priesthood. If, perchance,' the national welfare coincided with that, as for a large portion of the 200 years when England was a grain exporting country it might, no great harm accrued from embodying their selfishness into laws; but when they do not co incide, as they have not coincided of late, the aristocracy and the prieshood give effect to their own selfishness, and secure their own ascen dancy at the expense of the rest of the community. The thing is natural enough, and easily ex plicable. Every man and every class prefer. himself or itself to others. The priesthood and the aristocracy deem themselves, not the sculp tured outside ornaments, but the foundations and solid frame-work of society. But for them the whole community of mankind, the division of the sexes, their union by marriage, the birth of families, the increase of population, the divi sion of labour, the invention of arts, the progress of science, the extension of trade - Ti political contrivances, / would not Xis an t sere wool o e an aggrega tion individuals, and no society without their car , skill, and guardianship.
